I believe SpectraL is a member of a cult, out in Walnut Creek in which everyone smokes cigarettes just like their Guru type guide.
When he puffs they all puff at the same time, and sit like him.
They live in a spaceship or some shit like this. I've seen pictures of it. It's hidden in the hills somewhere.
I believe I dropped off -SpectraL one day. he lives in a beautiful west side of the highway upscale neighborhood with a shitty street a few blocks near it. but it's tucked back enough on a culdesac that you wouldn't notice. it is 1950s-60s style upscale A frame suburbia. flat ranch A-frame with an adorable little swiss-cottage like homes built next to his. -

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lafayette Morehouse, previously known as More University, is an intentional community, or commune, established in 1968 in Lafayette, California. The community is known by residents in the area as "the purple people", a nickname derived from the community's characteristic use of the color purple on their buildings and on some of their vehicles.[1][2] "We tell people that all the houses here are purple so that there is no mistake that one has changed realities should they wander onto our property".[3] The San Francisco Chronicle referred to it as a "sex cult", and in an article about California "sex communes", The New York Times describes it as "a controversial 40-year-old community ... that has been conducting public demonstrations of a woman in orgasm since 1976".[4][5]

History
The community was founded by Dr. Victor Baranco (son of the Oakland jazz artist Wilbert Baranco) and his first wife, Dr. Suzanne Baranco. The organization also has a community in Oahu, Hawai'i. Since Dr. Victor Baranco's death in 2002,[6] the group has been led by Dr. Cindy Baranco, Dr. Victor Baranco's second wife.
In 1977 Morehouse opened More University which conferred Bachelor of Humanities, Master of Humanities, and Doctor of Philosophy in Lifestyles and Sensuality postsecondary academic degrees.[7] Approval to grant degrees was authorized from the California Department of Education in 1979.[8] In 1989 the California State Legislature formed the California Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education to review vocational schools and private degree-granting institutions in the state.[9][10] In 1994 this agency reported that it would be investigating More University as part of a crackdown on private, nonaccredited universities.[10] As Billingsley noted in his 1994 criticism, "According to Darlene Laval, who headed the state council that reviewed More in 1986, all one needed to do for approval at that time was show that they had a certain amount of money and a library, or access to one, 'and that was about it.' There was no review of the school's faculty, facilities, or curricula."[8] Billingsley also reported that the university had 34 faculty members with 15 of them holding doctorates with one from UCLA and 14 from More.[8] More University closed in 1997.[7]
Philosophy
This experimental community was founded on the "More Philosophy". "The concept of perfection" is the "cornerstone" of the "philosophy and lifestyle". Their "working premise is that people and things are right the way they are and include the potential for change". The members consider themselves as social researchers and "responsible hedonists". The community is governed by a strict consensus of the community, a process they call the "one no-vote" system.
The purpose of the community is the research and education of the enjoyment of life, and the enrichment of life's pleasures. Courses offered by members of the organization to the community include topics such as interpersonal communication, sensuality and sex, inter-gender relationships, individual development, among others.
As a result of their research in sensuality, they presented what they state was the first known public demonstration of a woman in a state of orgasm for three hours in 1976.
Conflict with local community
Because of the conflict between this group's lifestyle and ideals and those of traditional society, there had been controversy raised in the media about this group, primarily in the early 1970s and then again briefly in the mid-1990s.[citation needed] Because the group is different, yet requests its privacy, it is perceived to be secretive and exclusive by the surrounding suburban community of Lafayette.[citation needed] The group is also the target of harassment and rumor among teenagers who trespass on the property on a regular basis.[citation needed] Because of this harassment, the community has been forced to protect themselves by taking turns to act as guards.[1][not in citation given]

Victor Baranco was one of three subjects of David Felton's Mindfuckers:[11]
Charles Manson, Victor Baranco and Mel Lyman, the superheroes of the following stories, are mindfuckers simply because they have made it their business to fuck men's minds and to control them. They've succeeded by assuming godlike authority and using such mindfucking techniques as physical and verbal bullying and group humiliation
— David Felton, Mindfuckers quoted in Billingsley 1994[8]
Victor Baranco and More University were amongst the subjects of a 1994 article in Heterodoxy investigating "Mark Groups".[8] The author based his conclusions entirely on secondary sources and never visited the group, interviewed its members, or examined the course material.[citation needed]
A few of the many incidents reported include a health officials' report on contraction of gonorrhea by a 3-year-old girl "while on the Lafayette property";[8] in 1980 the head of "Medical Science" having licence revoked because of the prescription of "excessive amounts of narcotics and mood-altering drugs";[8] multiple litigations frequently dismissed, including
a libel suit against the San Francisco Chronicle, which dubbed the school an "Academy of Carnal Knowledge". Still another suit involved Contra Costa County.
— Billingsley, University of Sex[8]
In an article about the One Taste Urban Retreat Center, Lafayette Morehouse is mentioned as being the original inspiration for its philosophy
Lafayette Morehouse, a controversial 40-year-old community still in existence in suburban Lafayette, Calif., that has been conducting public demonstrations of a woman in orgasm since 1976.
Morehouse's founder, Victor Baranco, was a former appliance salesman who called his philosophy "responsible hedonism." By some accounts, Mr. Baranco, who died in 2002, used coercive techniques of mind control.
"It was a huge ego-crushing machine, as any valid monastic tradition is," said a man who lived at Morehouse for 20 years and did not want to be identified.[5] -

Psychopathy, sometimes considered synonymous with sociopathy, is traditionally defined as a personality disorder characterized by persistent antisocial behavior, impaired empathy, impaired remorse, bold, disinhibited, and egotistical traits.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychopathy
Malice aren't you pretty much a shut-in?
Don't you believe in libertarianism, up to the stage of believing in voluntary slavery contracts and letting sick and starving people die?
Don't you try to deconstruct me right in this thread? Haven't you done this before, with, for instance Vizier?
Didn't you once dress up as a Klansman and let a bunch of lefty students chase you around Berkely?
Didn't you once describe yourself as an unappreciated genius?

is this a true story or are you just trolling? I remember the place in Walnut Creek or out in that area.
there is some weird shit associated out here. Contra Costa County has some very wooded areas with large estates hidden up in the hills. anything can be going on.. neighbors probably wouldn't know or care. perhaps members themselves. I'v heard shit since the late 1970s in my first teen years about sex cults and underage trafficking and Asian trafficking. then the story of the Presidio which was just left in the past like the Zebra Channel killings.
because it's too sensitive. but the media will bring up stupid shit all the time. they love to be the first on a serious death from a car crash or some other breaking news story, but the only time they bring up the past is about shit like the history of the LBG whatever and white privs. they had an anniversary of the Chinatown Massacre and around the same time that Shrimp Boy involved was thrown under the bus while the FBI was looking up both Mayor Lee (before he died) and another Lee (perhaps related to Mayor Lee) but they will never talk about the Zebra Channel killings or other weird shit from the 60s and 70s. the Zodiac is almost like an occult attraction out here, like going to see Alcatraz or some shit.
who puts a priority on what stories and why are other things so sensitive?
