Spotting Tyrants
Perhaps our new councilmembers don't know how to identify a tryrant, pick them out of the crowd. Once again, from Sixth Sense by Stuart Wilde:
The tyrant, more often than not, is a nobody. Often he's a failure and a coward, and he needs others to march forward for him to fill the gap of his inadequacy. He places unreasonable demands on others, partly to dominate and control them, and partly in the vain attempt to bolster himself up to assist with his fears and insecurities. Meanwhile, he causes trouble, dominating, manipulating, and controlling those around him with negative emotion, violence, and threats. Tyrants are terrified of death.
Tyrants may sometimes be hard to spot, since they often cloud their tyranny by feigning reasonableness. But you can spot them from their expression, as it's hard to hide the anger and violence they project. Usually the tyrant takes his darkness to the grave.
Jan, Beth, Melba, Cindy, Russ, John we hope this helps clear your vision a little. We know Wayne is being nice to you , ingratiating himself to you - all the better to manipulate you, is duping you. Why won't you heed the words of those who have more experience than you? You don't have to make all your own mistakes at our expense.
Power players are rumbling, residents are grumbling - you need to lead, follow or get out of the way by stepping down or Kansas City could be the first city in history to recall an entire City Council and Mayor simultaneously. Now that you know how to identify tyrants please take corrective action. Next we'll begin to educate you on bullies and bullying.

Wayne Musing
Why has Wayne never bought property in Kansas City? Surely between his salary, bonuses, and 'finders fees" he could afford something in KCMO after all we're 322 square miles. If this is such a great city and he is such a booster - why hasn't he invested his money here?
Haven't had much time lately but LT shows up on Missouri Case. net if anyone is interested.
Does anybody know how much taxpayer dollars the Youth Advocacy Office spent on those glossy magazines? We spotted cartons and cartons of them in a dumpster.

Update on the Pornography Trail
Apparently Dave Helling has requsted copies of LTs emails. However, the emails have to be screened by the City Attorney's office for confidential correspondance. Unfortunately that can take months. So everyone needs to tell Galen to make this a top priority and speed up the process. Those who were on the receiving end of this pornography could come forward and help speed this up too. Unless of course they too forwarded these materials which then puts them in the same boat as LT.
Loving & Understanding Your Tyrant
Since it seems up to six councilpersons do not have the guts at this point to end Wayne's contract and since the Mayor seems too to be lacking in leadership and interest in fullfilling his campaign promises. Let's try to understand Wayne
This is what Stuart Wilde has to say in his book Sixth Sense
Tyrants are angry, usually because they're scared. More often than not, they're tyrants because they were abused as kids. Sometimes they're angry because they feel they haven't gotten half the breaks in life they think they should have had. If their image is wrapped up in material things, or if it's trussed in a power trip, they will be threatened by anything that vaguely hints of a "reality check". The tyrant lashes out when cornered by the truth. Inflicting pain on others helps them feel less disempowered, less terrified by their monsters and dark memories.
They desperately need to be loved, yet they live in an emotional desert because no one likes them; most are scared of them. That reinforces the tyrant's warped idea that the world is against them, and that making life hard for others is a way of experiencing power. Sometimes, if the tyrant is really powerful, they pull lesser, would-be tyrants around them, and a gang or a fascist outfit is born.
So we can equate Wayne & Lt et al to a 'fascist outfit"

Never Cut A Tyrant Slack
In the event we're stuck with Wayne until a new mayor and city council are elected in a few short years, (yes, Ed, we ALL know you are running for Mayor) it behooves us to understand the Tyrant That Would Be Wayne. The following is taken from Archetype Tyrant, "Sixth Sense" by Stuart Wilde:
If you don't have a Ph.D. in psychology and lots of time to spare, stay away from tyrants. If you have to deal with tyrants, remember this: Even though they're desperately unhappy, they become arrogant and dogmatic through the exercise of their tyranny. You will rarely get a tyrant to see reason. They live in their own rabid empire. Tyrants like and expect abuse. "Plank on head" is the only language they understand. Don't negotiate, don't accommodate, and don't try to please them. The more you try to do for them, the more it affirms their power of manipulation. It's sad to say, but you should never cut the suckers any slack. It's bound to backfire.

Obscenties and Tyranny
In part to respond to Anonymous 4:00 pm “Contract Confusion “ perhaps we can get Garden Partiers to direct the right people to the people who won't give up the contaminated dirt (information) on the Citadel or anything else that's dirty.
Whoever it is that does the investigation - Guy Noir, Horsely, Hellling, The Pitch, The State Auditor's Office, or Inspector Clouseau, they have to have enough specific information to search - so far nobody has handed over that kind of information though I think from the confidential emails we're getting a few of you are closer taking action. If you know of the wrong doing, and you do nothing, then you are part of the problem and not part of the solution.
If the sitting City Council member won't do anything, and Roy Greenway is impotent and ineffective because of his chain of command then we need to go outside of the City Hall garden gates. An option to think about is to go to the Governor’s office and plea for a State Audit – but we would have to go to the Governor with more than innuendo by anonymous. And who of us will come forward and take that drive to Jefferson City and speak up and hand over the documents?
The pornography is the least of the problems at City Hall. Paying LT over $100,000/year for her to be a prurient voyeur seems more obscene than the visual obscenity. It is obscene that some of the Waynettes & LaToadies make the money they make, have the benefits they have when you look at their credentials, capacity and output/deliverables. It is obscene that so many great people are looking for jobs outside of City Hall. It is obscene that they will be replaced, in all probability, by incompetent or mediocre persons who essentially are glorified welfare recipients. It is obscene that someone like Larry Frevert was ‘released from his job’ because Wayne needed a white guy to get rid of to balance his personnel adjustments. It is obscene when those who can end the thievery, fraud, incompetence etc, choose to do nothing, choose to say nothing. And we can go on and on about the everyday, non-sexual obscenities at City Hall.
We are in the process of setting up a mail forwarding system where the mail will be forwarded multiple times before reaching the Garden Party Skunks. Once that is in place we hope you will have the confidence to make that extra photocopy or provide the specific information needed.
For those who believe Wayne is tyrannical and LT – here are some words to ponder:
Find out just what the people will submit to and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.— Frederick Douglass, civil rights activist, Aug. 4, 1857
As you cower and swallow hard when will you reach your limit and do what it takes to throw off the tyrant?
