Subject: [Puptcrit] Puppeteer terrorist from Maryland


While reading the Sunday LAtimes I found a paragraph that really got my
attention. About a Maryland undercover detective for the state government
who compiled a  list of terrorists and passed it to the state department. "One
suspect's file warned that she was "involved in puppet making and allows
anarchists to utilize her property for meetings. Among those labeled as
terrorists: two Catholic nuns, a former Democratic congressional candidate,
a lifelong pacifist and a registered lobbyist. "

Who is the puppeteer from Maryland who got on the US Terrorist Lists? Anyone
know?
For anyone who doesn't get the connection between Politics and Puppets...
here it is. It is ugly and shameful what our 'free' country does to curtail
freedom.
But alas, all countries do it.
I was jailed in England while enroute to Belfast Ireland to work as a "Mime
Specialist" for a summer in 1980. I was to work for an
organization who was allowing Catholic and Protestant kids to be together to
play and learn (a dangerous proposal at that time).
I was detained in Dover by the English Police, jailed for 2 days and send
back to France because they said the government didn't approve my position
in advance (and they could finally prove that I wasn't an Irish Terrorist),
even though I had a 'so-called' binding contract from the School District of
the English government in Belfast. That 3 day incident was humiliating
enough, but the residual fallout was worse.
Everytime I crossed an English border (or where English were in charge), I
was detained sometimes for days. I missed flights, friends, and endured some
very frustrating moments.  I finally got off their lists after about a 5
year period where I had learned to avoid England altogether. (Once I met the
father of an English Punchman who was checking Passports and he helped me
get through.)
But I would like to know who the Maryland Puppeteer is.
cheers,
Steven Ritz-Barr
