Yet ANOTHER rainbow thief!

Well... yesterday... I kindly gave a ride to a barefooted rainbow sister who passed my camp and was walking the miles to the FS shitters... only to be repayed by her swiping my fucking bag of ganja that was in my console!

Makes me want to stop trying to be kind to people...

Bet she went back to camp feeling like a goddess that will be worshipped back at her camp for having ganja to smoke!

Of course I will not say anything or confront her because I will just be ganged up on by the new Rainbow gangs that seem to control the parking lots lately!

Welcome the fuck home!

Are gatherings even Rainbow anymore?

Vermont gathering has become an environmentally damaging shit show

 Wow!

So now the North East Rainbow Gathering (NERG) Facebook group decides who and what they want people to post on their group?

Another fucking Rainbow dictatorship that only proves that Rainbow IS a fucking organization, with leaders and members, that is nothing like what Rainbow truly is and should be!

I removed this part of my post because I don't want to shit on other Vermonsters AND fellow Rainbow brother and sisters even if they CHOOSE to disrespect me and treat me Iike shit!

I truly love my fellow Vermonsters... even the peice of shit ones!

I choose to not be like them though... and THEY KNOW WHO THEY ARE!

NERG, NERF, FERN and NEMF... get off of your power trips and almighty fucking egos and quit being responsible for the current destruction of Rainbow and our gatherings! 

Can't you all fucking get along?

What new NE Rainbow group will someone create next to stoke their egos and power trips over others?

You too NERF!

You should be ashamed Jane! 

And to think I had the upmost respect for you and your visions... 

Control your members of NERF and their parking kitchen with the drug dealing festival/party that could care less about our land and the damage being done huh?

People wonder why I say the things I do?

 I am often asked by others why I have such a love and hate relationship when it comes to Rainbow and the gatherings.

It all started years ago. You can pretty much see when it started happening just with what I write or say and when it shifted.

Every time I will try to contribute to seed camp, kitchen's, clean up, or just the gathering in general... it has always seemed like I have only been good for what material items I might have to contribute or I am given any demenial hard manual labor that needs to be done that the fat cat high hollies don't contribute to themselves.

They seem to like to sit around directing and telling others what needs to be done and how to do it without even lifting a finger themselves. They always throw in your face that they are "founders" or "focalizers" or run a kitchen. If they were not there telling people what to do... they were often running around the gatherings trying to find the other fucking high holys to reminisce about their past gatherings and good times. Or... are running around telling people how to fucking do things and what not to do around the gatherings.

After shit gets done they gather up only their friends and sit down and praise one another for other people's work. And share any goodies or kickdowns they might have, amongst themselves, while ignoring kind brothers and sisters who worked their asses off and most of the time don't even thank them.

I noticed that the scouts, focalizers, seed campers, facebook "admins", a lot of kitchen's, and some camps have one big fucking thing in common and always have. They truthfully mostly do what they do because they want attention, recognition, ego boosts, power over others, rewards from others, and the only fucking say on things and how they work and happen. They give with the intention of wanting something in return...

They are always select groups that hardly let anyone be a part of what they are doing unless they have something they need or want... then usually kick those people aside afterwards. I have seen that constantly happen to many people over the years.

1. Scouts

They usually never allow anyone to participate unless they are friends or know them. Half of the time no one in the know will even share with people who these supposed scouts are if they even exist sometimes. If people get together and scout on their own they get ignored, their opinions mean nothing, and if they happen to find something... the scouts will push them aside and claim it was their find and idea so they can further boost their high holy egos and make the true Heirarchy that exists happy. Many rewards await them. When seed camp comes and the gathering starts they are blissed out not doing anything usually because they did their "work". Quite the attention whores afterwards definitely making sure that everyone knows their fake Rainbow names, that they were scouts and the gathering site was "theirs", and that everyone needs to worship their high holy asses.

2. Focalizers

Those motherfuckers think they are the cream of the fucking crop of Rainbow who's shit never stinks. If anything... they seem to be the biggest attention whores out of them all. TAKE EVERYTHING I SAID ABOVE ABOUT SCOUTS, add focalizer instead, AND TRIPLE IT... They feel they have the power and control over others because they and their friends know where the gathering will be and you don't. You will constanttly see a focalizer out in the wild yelling at anyone that will listen "Look at me! Look at me! I'm a focalizer! I know where the gathering is and you don't!"... as if anyone fucking cares! Let them boost their egos and have all the limelight they want! Their limelight is not bright at all just like most of them! Pretty much all I need to say about them

3. Seed campers

Seed campers are a unique breed. They participate and usually work a lot through out the gatherings and clean up. Much respect! BUT... alot of them are in it for the ego and ability to boast about what they do. Part of me wants to respect that because it feels they have definitely earned that respect for what they do. BUT... they themselves seem to form little groups and have no problem using newbies for the labor then kicking them aside with out a second thought. Some... but not all.

There are a lot of seed campers that are always there that never contribute labor and people often fail to realize that it is some of these people that are the back bones of seed camp. A lot of then are disabled and unable to contribute manual labor. They contribute in other ways such as support, kitchen, supplies, finances, and just fucking much needed emotional support!

I often tell "newbies" I meet that if they want the true full Rainbow experience of a life time... to find a solid seed camp crew AHEAD of the gathering they choose, introduce yourself, BE YOURSELF, and offer the full help to them by giving with intention of nothing in return. Find your own return in your head and value the experience, lesson of life, and internal rewards that I am sure you will get. And when you do show up make sure YOU have EVERYTHING you might NEED with you as if you were planning on camping in the woods alone. You never know what might happen. Kitchen's vehicles break down. Sudden unexpected things come up. If everyone that goes has what they they need themselves... when they do get together the sharing and caring happens. NO ONE is out there to be your mommy or daddy either.

4. Facebook Admins

MOST of these people are the biggest fucking hypocrites on power trips that Rainbow has to offer and are one of the main contributors to destroying Rainbow!

They are all together in showing the true fucking fallacy of "Rainbow has no leaders" and "Rainbow is not an organization" "Rainbow has no members" bullshit!

THE GOOD OLE DAYS of Rainbow online used to be a sort of wild wild west where anything goes. Gone are the days of AGRo which was truly fucking an amazing feed. People could say whatever the fuck they wanted and if others wanted to respond they chose to and if not they would not. Threads would surely get heated! I used to piss so many people off, by posting under Poorphucker, especially with my rants about what sister circles had become and were becoming. Now look back mother fuckers and remember what I had said! The fucking Mafiosa Heirarchy is alive and well and in full fucking control. NO DENYING IT.

AND... there was no MEMBERSHIP to Rainbow back then!

Then other new "groups" started up like yahoo and MSN and a popular one that I forget. People would create to find and gather others for being together online, figuring things out, and was quite an amazing purpose for that and socializing back then. And people actually had to somewhat work and try to put these groups together on computers. I think people did a lot of copy and pasting back then to make it work. Not like today where anyone with an email can so it on Facebook without work.

But the fact that EVERYONE has to JOIN those Rainbow groups and are then bona-fide MEMBERS of Rainbow.

No shit huh?

Then along came the Great Rainbow Facebook Gold rush of '04. People seeking attention and an ego boost flocked to facebook to form the various Rainbow Facebook groups we now have today! AND many more created all of the regional groups. Everyone were foaming at the mouth over the Facebook gold that would make them rich by being the first to do it and all the recognition and credit of being the ones that did it. There was no money to be made but the became rich in power over others! Some people eat that shit up.

Once again... ANYONE who was a member of Facebook could become a MEMBER of Rainbow by simply hitting the JOIN button still there today! WELCOME TO YOUR MEMBERSHIP IN RAINBOW!!!

No shit huh?

Along with these groups came the technology that only gets better. Admins found they could set the groups to private! Now their power grows... they become defacto LEADERS of Rainbow that now can CHOOSE who they want to JOIN Rainbow only with their APPROVAL! Then thier power grows even more when they realize THEY HAVE FULL CONTROL over their MEMBERS and what they or do. In comes MASS CENSORSHIP under their control! If they don't like what you say they remove it as they see fit.

Then the most power trip of all things is next... They can BAN you and your MEMBERSHIP to RAINBOW also as they see fit. All these admin get together and pretty much hold closed door kangaroo councels and dictate what Rainbow should be according to them and who can be a part of the Heirarchy.

And you try to tell me these fuckers are not MEMBERS of Rainbow that ARE Rainbow's LEADERS!

I don't even get me started on the aspect of the up and rising Zoom "circles" and "councels" that are creating a newer generation of Rainbow that are truly fucking too lazy to go out and meet on the land which has ALWAYS been a tradition with good meaning.

MOST of you admin are a true fucking disgrace to the name of Rainbow and you ALL of you are RESPONSIBLE for the CURRENT destruction of Rainbow, it's people, and the gatherings!!! If you ever come across me on the land some day? STAY the fuck AWAY from me as I have no interest in meeting ANY fucking one of you! If you do... I'll know you are looking for nothing but trouble!

IF the federal government wanted to take Rainbow to court now a days... we could be up against a battle we might not be able to win with all the fucking technical legal precedents these fucking Rainbow Admin Leaders and Members have set! Thank you Facebook...

Fuck you admins!!!

5. Kitchen's

Where to start with that?

Alot of the same ego and high holy attention whores as the rest above. A good amount of them are only doing it for that exact reason. A lot of the "founders" don't do shit except organize, take donations and kick downs, and tell others what to do... IF they are not running around the gatherings making sure that EVERYONE know their fake Rainbow names and that are the "founder" and run so and so kitchen.

You can often find the "founder" sitting off from the kitchen like some royalty vip member in their vip section with friends doing absolutely nothing that involves actual work.

Along with the kitchen comes vast amounts of power. MAGIC HAT FUNDS that there are no accountabilities for other than their word... wink wink. Then there is what they get from supply and first dibs on. I don't know how many fucking kitchen's I have seen get dank ass grub to share only to keep it internal within the kitchen as if they are better than everyone else. No accountability to anyone except with their word... wink wink. So many kitchen's often are truly two different kitchen's in one. SCHWAG food to the "public" and DANK food for the kitchen, their friends, and anyone on a whim that they feel they wanna suck up to in the Rainbow Heirarchy...

All this dank food usually comes in from donations, supply, or Magic Hat funds without ever seeing the people the intentions of it all were meant for.

All these people mentioned DO NOT give with the intention of nothing in return. If they are not after power and control, recognition and attention, or fat kick downs... they are becoming rare at gatherings. That IS their return and why they do it now. I don't know how many times that someone that runs a fucking kitchen has come up to me, or others, outside of Rainbow and the land and wanted something from us or something we had...

If you tell them NO! They throw a high holy Rainbow temper tantrum and before you can even say another word... you usually get "I fucking fed you at the gatherings!" OR "YOUR NOT WELCOME AT MY KITCHEN NOW!" and God who knows what else. I always used to flog to survive in my various travels and on the streets. Who knows what I might of had when I meet them. Mostly kind buds. I remember way back at my second Ocala gathering in the early 90's. Me and my ex blew through Texas and went to my peyote spot and brought 100's of buttons.

I was so surprised at how many people had never seen them and was only a year into Rainbow by then... So we made tea for as many people as we could. A kitchen came up to ask me for a kick down of actual buttons instead of tea which I denied. Well... I got my first dose of how kitchen's can truly act. Didn't need their food anyways!

There ARE many good kitchen's that pop up now and then and bad ones leave and alot of good people that often help run said kitchen's and put up with the idiots who run them that deserve credit...

Any kitchen that reads this... don't have a hissy fit or get your panties in a wad. I will never eat at Rainbow kitchens or yours. I come prepared. Ain't gonna have any of you mother fuckers dose my food in retribution or poison people... which is a serious accusation online recently that involved a certain kitchen and someone they hated at a gathering.  That is truly fucked up! Enjoy the kitchens kids!

6. Camps

Camps are the backbone of the gatherings and are the shit. Isn't that why people truly come to at Rainbow gatherings? To socialize, meet people you have things in common with, and camp with them?

Of course there are Camps out there that fall under everything above. Hell... nic@nite is ran by a person that runs it like a OMC without motor cycles. There have been sexual assaults, they hand out addictive substances (even to minors) to have control over others, and it is run with a thug mentality! This shows there are accepted Camps for anything and everything... the good and the bad and accepted within the Rainbow Heirarchy! 

It is up to you to find a camp that suits what you are there for and the people you want to be around. Make some friends for life! There are so many established camps with some of the most beautiful and kindest people you will ever meet at a gathering. Don't trust everyone willy nilly though....

Last but not least...

7. Clean up crew.

Let's put it this way.

I can not say a single bad or negative thing about these people!


When I first was introduced to various clean up crews around the country I was amazed at just how many new people that I had not met or seen. Turns out a lot of them were not even at the gatherings. They had planned their time accordingly to show up when the gatherings end and are there for two weeks to do just that... clean up.

These motherfuckers don't fuck around. My out of shape ass could never keep up.

Hard work all day and very kind nights amongst people that truly care. They ARE what my true concept of Rainbow is in my eyes. I can only speak for me.

Sorry for the long speel...

I dedicate this to all the free time I have being back home and enjoying the GMNF again. That and the Vermont focalizers/kitchen that "sponsered" this year's regional who decided to disrespect and try to shit on a person they have never met and did nothing to deserve such "bullshit". Left with a giant brainfart on what I was going to do and contribute and instead... get to think and ponder and write shit like this! I have no faith in you folk but always will for Rainbow even if that is slowly leaving....

Northeast Rainbow Family (NERF) should be ashamed of themselves!

Well... it appears the Northeast Rainbow Family (NERF) have taken this year's Vermont Regional Gathering to a whole new level and are turning the gathering into a bus village parking lot scene with a HEAVY vibe on alcohol apparently being the focus right now and this year... before the gathering even starts!

When we first arived there was beer a plenty with more beer runs being made. 

Yesterday, in town at the Hannafords, a car full of people having a yelling and screaming match with each other, while there, were loading up their car with cases of PBR. Guess you already know that... YES they showed up onsite shorty afterwards!

Not to mention all the vehicles flying by our camp on the forest service road using excessive speed!

Way to respect Vermont and the locals Northeast Rainbow Family (NERF)!

Hope you are truly proud of yourselves!!!

And people like to harsh on me for saying that Rainbow IS slowly decaying and dying?

PPPFFFFFTTTTTTT!

Rainbow Gathering 2.0 PSA

Anyone that does not like this blog or my words?

FUCK YOU AND THE HIGH HOLY FUCKING HORSE YOU RIDE ON!

DON'T GO OUT OF YOUR WAY TO COME HERE AND CHOOSE TO READ WHAT I SAY IF YOU DON'T CARE FOR IT!

NO ONE fucking invited you here...

QUIT sending me fucking emails with all of your worthless threats and your own negative words!

I GET IT!

All you do is show me just how dead on RIGHT I am on what I speak of...

If I show up at a gathering you are are going to fuck me up and pocket check me?

Sounds fun!

You are going to flatten my tires, bust out my windows, and take my shit?

Go ahead... nothing but material values that can be replaced!

Going to kill Love Dawg?

Pretty fucking schwag thing to even think of or say... especially from people who claim to be Rainbow! 

Going to gather up a Gang mob and forcefully remove me from the gathering in our National Forest because I'm not welcome because you say so?

Have at it an reap what you sow when you get charged with federal kidnapping charges, assault, and whatever else... maybe much worse!. Guess you'll have some time to sit in jail and ponder if you made the right decision by ruining your life and ability to travel freely when you sit in your steel and concrete box!

Have the fuck at it!

YOUR FAKE RAINBOW NAMES WON'T HIDE YOU LONG!

But know that I truly don't give a fuck!

Not about YOUR words or you!

I am SO used to being hated on by fake Rainbow people that truly do not know me, know nothing about me, and never will.

Worst case scenario a grudge will be carried for many years... and a day will come when you least expect it... that..........

All you are doing with you threats and wanna be intimidation is making Rainbow look worse and adding more fuel to the fire of my agroness and what I say on here in the future! 

Mighty fucking Rainbow of all you losers... even threatening to kill an innocent dog over my words?

Sure shows your true RAINBOW colors intensely!  

Welcome the fuck home...

Why do so many Rainbow feel they must steal from others?

I truly can not understand why so many Rainbow feel they must steal from others. 

Whether it is like what happened to me at the National Gathering last year in Colorado with my camp, shop lifting from establishments, or flat out stealing from you right in front of your face acting as if nothing happened. 

When I first arrived to check on who was already at the site selection here in Vermont I met a group of people. Introductions went well other than one particular kid. This kid was the first to start hitting me up for anything and everything. "Got tobacco? Got ganja? Got beer?" Of course I say yes and bust out a full can of American Spirit that I brought to share. Let him roll a cigarette. He then asks to fill his tin which I agreed to. 

I truly do not believe in the way the Vermont focalizers and kitchen chose to go against the Rainbow tradition of not releasing site info until the last minute when seed camp is there to set up. So I ended up setting my camp at least a mile down the road at a nice site where two creeks meet. I often stay here for two weeks in my rotation of staying here in the forest and Love Dawg has all the fresh clean water she could want at her need.

The next morning this kid showed up at my camp with his dog first thing in the morning. Kid wanted more tobacco and to get puffed out again which I kindly give again and do. I walked over to untangle Love Dawg from a root that her tether was wrapped around. As soon as I was doing this I see the kid grab my can of tobbaco, grab a huge scoop, and put it in his shirt pocket. He put the can back as quick as possible thinking I did not see.

Maybe I should have said something right then and there but I chose not to. I just ignored that it happened and sat back down because I already know from past experiences that confronting Rainbow over such things only gets met with the lies and denial of doing it and the possibility of a fight or violence. Or they feel they must go around bad mouthing you to anyone and everyone that will listen.

He then says he is going to go to Hancock to "spange the locals and do bum shit" to get something to eat because they have no food up there. I try to explain to him that Hancock is quite small and that he really should not be blowing the place up and was met with the standard reply of "I don't give a fuck!". So I talked the kid into giving him a ride to Middlebury so he could get some food and not be such a heat score. The whole way he is talking about how he is going to bring back food for everyone at his camp and how hard-core of a Rainbow he is.

30 minutes later he returns to my car with Mc Donald's and of course beer. On the way back he eats a Big Mac, fries, and a 20 piece chicken nuggets then throws the trash on my floorboard. So much for all the hype on how they were going to bring back food for everyone! Hannaford's is right next door to Mc Donalds and he could have indeed got everyone food other than McD's and beer for himself only. Typical...

Anyways he keeps coming back wanting to get stoned and such. The first day he asked to charge his phone in my car and I told him I had a battery pack but did not have an apple phone cord but he had one. Charged and left.

The next day he comes again and asks to use the battery for his android but didn't have a C cord. So I let him use my battery and extra C cord. We sit and puff and talk about the gatherings. 

I ask him why they were here so early when seed camp is over a week away. The kid replies that they ARE seed camp. So I simply ask him what they were doing up there for seed camp. He responded "Nothing, because there were no supplies..." I pretty much pointed out that THAT was not seed camp if he was not there to seed and work and just hang out and drink beer and holler at locals that drove by. 

The kid got completely agro on me and told me to stfu and that I has no clue what I was talking about and how he was a "true" hard-core Rainbow for ten years and that if it were not for people like him that Rainbow gatherings would not happen.

I did not like his becoming agro and having an aggressive attitude towards me and POLITELY asked him to leave cause I had shit to do. So... the kid gets up and unplugged his phone and put his phone and my cord in his pocket and walked off. Honestly... I was pretty stoned and did not realize he took my cord until after he left. FUCK! I decided to let it slide just like his tobacco thievery.

About an hour later he comes walking by my camp towards town with his pack on and his dog and stops and asks if I can give him a ride to town again so he could try getting to Burlington and make some money. Said the people at camp were assholes and not give him a ride.

I flat out told him to beat fucking feet and kick rocks and that I hoped he had a pleasant walk. He just gave me that typical Rainbow stink eye and headed off down the road without a response.

I felt bad for his pup. A beautiful young pup who was skin and bones... obviously NOT taken care of.

This kid was your typical Rainbow type that some Rainbow consider a "drainbow". I hate that word because hi holy Rainbows use it constantly to describe people they don't care for but I know that even some people that have absolutely nothing material to contribute DO contribute in other ways. But... this kid would be the prime example of a "drainbow" if there was one.

Typical Rainbow traveller who wears extremely dirty clothes barely held together with patches that they thinks makes them look cool and stand out. The type of clothes they refuse to wash because they would fall apart. Doesn't even hang them up to "air wash" and air out. They smelled of nothing but stale beer, urine, and that disgusting smell that I compare to the smell that comes out of a bicycle tire tube when let out but stronger. 

So... I have already had about a third of my $100 can of Spirit stolen and a fucking phone cord I really need.

FUCK... I would gladly have helped them out if they had only just fucking asked me. 

I fucking hate thieves! 

Especially the ones that do it right in front of you because they think they can and that most people wont notice or say something over something minor items...

Stealing is fucking stealing... no matter how small it might be!

WELOME THE FUCK HOME VERMONT! 

First dose of the Vermont Rainbow family

Just got my first dose of the Vermont Rainbow Family!

NOT positive what so ever unfortunately...

Seems like the Vermont "focalizers/kitchen" ARE a primo example of what high holys are in the Flesh!

They seem to only care about their egos and status in Rainbow land versus the people that make Rainbow what it is...

I NEVER thought they would be so UNKIND and negative!

And people seem to wonder why I become so negative and agro towards Rainbow!

DEFINITELY because of people like THEM!

It is people like them that truly contribute to the decay of the gatherings... much more than anything I can ever say or do!

And people wonder why less and less people show up to the gatherings and they get smaller and smaller and are in Decay?

MAYBE... it IS because of people like the Vermont "focalizers" that should be welcoming family home... NOT SHITTING ON PEOPLE THEY DON'T KNOW and making them not feel welcomed home at all... only for their own personal needs, gains, and THEIR fat fucking egos and agendas!

WELCOME THE FUCK HOME VERMONT!!!

NOT!

Why Rainbow does not release site directions until last minute

 It has always amazed me about how many people go to online Rainbow groups and the only thing they ask is where the gathering is going to be? They could care less about even being a part of the groups or even fucking reading anything already posted because they are too damn lazy to do it for themselves and want others to do it for them. Typical Rainbow... it does not matter that there are dozens upon dozens of posts of the same thing being asked everyday AND ALREADY FUCKING ANSWERED!

It gets even worse with the non stop bombardment of people getting pissed because scouts/focalizers won't give out any information until the last minute announcing seed camp!

Well let's see why this is?

In my 30 years of being involved (or trying to be involved) with Rainbow gatherings it has always been known that...

1. There is a camping limit of 14 days in most National Forests. We have always tried to respect that regardless of not signing permits and being there. You are only adding more complications before the gathering can even start by being there early.

2. There is no seed camp to create what organizations of our non organization... of things needed to be there to accommodate people for a gathering. No seed camp. No kitchen. No water. No shitters. No camps. No trails. No parking. And alot of other things.

The seed camp is there solely for that reason. The people that usually do come to seed camp come for a reason. To seed everything for a great gathering to grow and happen. And these same people actually (well mostly) know what the fuck they are doing and it is indeed a lot of work and tedious manual labor that the average Rainbow could care less about helping with.

3. There are no PROPER shitters! People show up early to wait and dig shitters where they should not be dug which creates more clean up work. Or you find the hidden shit piles with toilet paper strewn everywhere by people who literally don't give a shit. After all... Rainbow seem to have a philosophy of if no one sees them do something then "they didn't do it" and are not responsible for whatever they did knowing that someone else will come along and have to clean it up for them.

No offense but sisters are notorious for trampling vegetation when there are no shitters! They seem to always never want to use an already trampled spot to cop a squat. They trample a new spot so no one sees them pee. Guys seem to go where they want. When people piss everywhere and in the same spot... it can be totally noticed even in the woods.

4. There is no designated parking! People show up early and park where ever they want. Often it is in places they shouldn't where they damage the environment. Sometimes really bad. Once again they know someone will come along that will have to repair and fix the damage. More manual labor, time, and effort mostly left for clean up crews. The people that cause such damage could care less when they leave.

5. There are no proper designated main trails! People just come and trample the vegetation and environment without care or concern... yet again leaving a mess and extensive damage that takes more time, effort, and physical labor. This can be pretty bad in certain sensitive areas that would be marked off once seed camp started. Some areas may never fully recover properly from such abuse.

The national last year in Colorado was a prime example of this. There was a large sensitive area around two sides of main parking that people made a trail through and kept trampling off the trail to take a piss in it or park in it. Pretty surprised that seed camp did not catch that but Forest Service came in with dozens of workers quickly to post it and mark it off before it got too bad. Having those workers brought in just added more fuel to the fire to be used against us because of costs and damages which the Feds, the public, and locals closely watch!

6. There are no kitchen's! There is no food. Your mommy and daddy Rainbows are not there to feed your asses. So many fucking people show up with absolutely nothing always expecting others to feed them. It creates such a negative energy all around. People that do have food are expected to share and when they don't people become idiots. Or if they do share what they brought then they themselves run out of food which makes people have to unnecessarily come back and forth out of the site drawing attention.

7. The people that show up with nothing end up in one of the assorted local towns which are often quite small. They go there to do "bum shit" or "jug" or "spange" the locals. They often shoplift. They loiter. They leave the trash from any food they do get everywhere. Then they head back to camp with a bag of chips, a case of beer, and a pack of smokes when they could have bought food... which causes a vicious and constant cycle of them returning to these towns non stop. And most Rainbow have no problem harrassing and intimidating locals trying to get money out of them...

This only creates quite the heat score on everyone at the site, in the towns, for the people coming in, and just the gatherings in general. Not to mention it makes things worse on what the locals and public think about Rainbow and what it really is.

8. There is no designated water that gets properly set up and laid out in support of the gathering. This means people fuck up the environment around the water sources that are there. The same sources that are supposed to provide clean/uncontaminated water for the people at the gatherings. Rehabilitation of water sources and the areas around them can sometimes be the hardest to get done in a timely manner and may never be the same from the damage. More wasted time, effort, and manual labor...

9. LEO become quite annoyed and it sets and determines just how they might choose to interact with us. Even the kindest LEO can get fed up and have had enough! And when that happens it usually does not end up well for people in general. More LEO interactions. More problems being discovered and dealt with. More tickets and fines. More intentional harrassment. And they seem to think they need to bring in even more LEO.... not to mention more pissed off locals!

There are more places to go and wait out the start of gathering!

This year's Vermont regional gathering IS a prime example of all of this. A PERFECT EXAMPLE of why the site is announced at the last minute...

The infighting between the people around the New England area is intense and they don't agree on anything! There used to be only NERF but now there are multiple different groups who choose to not work together and ignore each other.

We have solid family folk here in Vermont that are trying to do this gathering properly. Everything from seed camp to cleanup. Vermont has been my home state for at least 15 years now. Vermont is known for having extremely amazing gatherings.

This year though... is already starting off bad and seems different. I just got back. A 3300 mile drive with two five hour naps. When I went looking for info online I found bickering and chaos!

The folks here in Vermont... trying to do this properly are being overwhelmed by people online who are not in Vermont that are trying to dictate and control how and where this gathering happens. They could care less about Vermont, it's family, and a lot more.

We got stupid fucking idiots elsewhere, who only want attention that they seem to crave, by trying to focalize the Vermont gathering from afar and by what they have heard or think... and for what? To boost their high holy egos and earn some brownie points within the Rainbow Heirarchy?  To be able to fucking pat themselves on their backs and be able to boast to anyone and everyone for the rest of their lives about just how "Rainbow" they truly are and how they focalized a Vermont regional gathering?

These fuckers have created the perfect shit show before the gathering!

When they could not get their way and when the Vermont family folk disagreed with what they want... They went online and spammed every single Rainbow group with directions to the site... TEN FUCKING DAYS BEFORE SEED CAMP EVEN STARTS!!! They did this KNOWING the chaos it was and would cause that could not be taken back!

It reminds me of what the local scout/focalizer, Rabbit, at this year's Oregon regional told me... "I don't give a fuck if this spot is under a no camping rehabilitation this year. I picked this site and put out directions. They can't prevent people from coming now anyways! Fuck what LEO and the locals say or think. I'm in charge and this is where I chose! Fuck em!"

Way to go Oregon!

That was actually one of the most negative energy feeling gatherings I have been to. Had to leave to control the violent side of me because of Rabbit yelling with spit flying in my face over his hi holy ego temper tantrum.

These people are a perfect example what the Rainbow Heirarchy and leadership has become!

They, by no means, are NOT helping Rainbow and the gathering... they are only harming it and future gatherings by their attention seeking actions!!!

It is losers like them that are responsible for the current destruction of Rainbow that is currently happening.

Having found out that the directions to the Vermont site were given out already... I went to the site to see if anyone was there. Me and Love Dawg usually stay in the GMNF up off FR39 because of the short trip to Middlebury or in the southern part of the forest between the B towns... properly and legally of course.

When I got to the site there are indeed people and vehicles already there waiting for the gathering and creating a heat score blowing up the spot. Newbies from the National waiting on the party with their beer.

Very little food if any. No tobbaco or pot. No money yet conviently leaving and coming back with cases of beer! Didn't take less than ten minutes before I'm being hit up for stuff. After giving up tobbaco a few times and then saying no more... I guess I'm a bad guy now cause I got a full can of Spirit and said no when asked the third time.

Already doing bum shit in town...

What got to me the most though was the way they are hooting and hollering and waving at anyone that drives by... asking them if they are here for the gathering creating a heat score and seemingly wanting attention.  LOOK AT ME I AM RAINBOW!

Yeah... this is going to be a great gathering!

I truly think it is time for the Vermont Rainbow folk family to take back Vermont from the idiots trying to control it's gatherings and form our own online group! I hope someone wants to and will do it... the whole fucking shebang!

FAITHFUL potlucks!

Faithful drum circles/trade circles/get togethers! Don't fucking bitch about the snow or winters... The Mt Shasta family hold weekly circles all winter long in the park and this year they got more snow than I have ever seen in Vermont and made it work! IF YOU ARE DEDICATED YOU ARE TRULY DEDICATED!

We need to focalize as a committed community TOGETHER to make future Vermont gatherings happen AND HAPPEN PROPERLY!

NOT FUCKING PEOPLE FROM OUT OF THE STATE WHO COULD CARE LESS ABOUT US, OUR WISHES, AND OUR COMMUNITY!!!

IT SHOULD BE VERMONSTER'S DECISIONS ON WHEN, WHERE, AND HOW THE FUTURE VERMONT RAINBOW GATHERINGS COME ABOUT!

MADE IN FUCKING VERMONT GATHERINGS!

MY PSA IS NOW OVER...
