Announcing Christian Pecaut….Berkeley’s newest mayoral candidate.
Official paperwork has yet to be filed, but it will be soon. A 25 year old Stanford grad, Pecaut plans to run on issues of local and global significance. Read more about him in today’s Daily Planet. For more info, visit his site: http://www.berkeleymayor.org/ To better grasp Pecaut’s proposed means/philosophy, you may want to read Neil Robert Miller’s paradigm.
Hi, He only moved to Berkeley 2 weeks ago. How can he possibly be committed to the City? He does have a nice range of issues that encompass both ends of the spectrum, on the micro (local) and macro (global) scales. But is he just using the soon to be open seat in Berkeley politics as a means to implement the “paradigm” and eradicate the Republican party? I would also like to know more about Neil Robert Miller and how Pecaut came to know him. I guess it is too soon to hear what his thoughts on (West) Berkeley industry, economy and environmental issues are in particular. Hopefully that will come in time.
Please listen- I have absolutely no political agenda or personal desires other than to bring to your attention the following. This man’s philosophy is that of a dangerous cult and offers no solutions that can be implemented in the real world. Christian Pecaut is the protege of Neil Robert Miller, the author of the “Paradigm from California,” a verbose and egomaniacal doctrine which claims to be the solution to Einstein’s Theory of Everything. A simple scan of the website http://www.imaginenine contain his labyrinthian ramblings. Read through them, if you can tolerate it for more than 15 seconds. Neil Robert Miller was fired from his job as a teacher at McAteer High School in the 80s, accused of running a dangerous cult in which he extracted resources, including sex from young girls, from impressionable young students in their teens. Neil’s charismatic allure reeled in the converts to his doctrine, splintering many families in the process and robbing dozens of people of their happiness and in some cases their sanity. Again, my only agenda is to bring these points to your attention. I endorse no candidate.
I know this is an old thread, but do you have anything to backup your accusations about Neil Robert Miller actions as a high school teacher?
I ran across this blog on the net. I’m an original student of Neil Miller’s from Mc Ateer High School. The class we we’re in was called “Research”. It took up 4th & 5th period after lunch until 2:30pm when school was over. He recruited young kids who wanted a way out of there so called happy or troubled life. Although, I look back and think why he approached it in certain ways, and also questioning vulnerablities of a 15 yr old, most of what he talked about was intriguing and pretty far fetched to a young person. That much change would require a whole legion of students to be behind the program as a whole, so in retrospect, it wasn’t feasible to have such a class in existence in high school because of the ramifications brought home from school to a family. It essentially happened to me to some degree during those two years I was in the class. I would get into arguements with my mom, and from all the knowledge I learned from class about family issues, I felt like I owned the world, and that my own mom couldn’t hold me down in an arguement. As the class diminished I began to notice alot of change go down. I lost my girlfriend to the class, who chose it over me. Essentially, she wanted me to choose music over the class and I said no chance are you going to rule my passion and whatever influences it had on me, over a class that was losing students left and right. We worked on those papers for years he put into a script called “Parallel Development”, and never heard or seen high water of them after the class broke up. After he was black listed from the school, they would meet up at his apt on upper market st in S.F. to finish the project. They tried to get it published in NYC in the late 80’s long after everone was starting there lives, and Neil basically said to the rest of the students, it’s either sink or swim. Your with this for the long haul or bust..!!! My epilogue to this blog whomever reads it is, if you initiate change and try and grow a following to help you do so, make sure that the person who intiates that change has a preface, purpose and precautions of taking in too much questioanble data without insulting or scaring everybody from themselves from being influenced by societal’s woes. It’s a bigger puzzle than you think..!
Wow I stumbled upon this because I just created a group on Facebook for ALTA and Urban Pioneers alumni. I was in Neil’s history and Research class for a number of years. He was a TOTAL communist, and taught history from a communist view, which was fine. He was also very very into subliminal advertising, and got his students into basically not trusting anything at face value. He also taught photography and was a very gifted portrait photographer. These were the good things about Neil. However, there was a very dark side to Neil, and as anonymous said, yes Neil was eventually not to be trusted. Research for sure a cult. It didn’t start out that way, but Neil was very good at twisting people’s words…he won almost every argument he was in. Kids that did not immediately adopt his doctrine were ganged up against in class. He was constantly fucking young minds with his double speak. He was particularly focused on girls, because he felt that women were the big losers in society…if you were in his class and wore makeup or sexy clothes, he would humiliate you in front of the entire class. He would specifically recruit “girly girls” to the class just so that he could break them down and make them how he wanted them to be. This is not hearsay, these are words that he actually said to me. He would make people cry…and if you were ostracized from his class, you basically lost all of your friends. For those of us that “didn’t drink the coolaid”, we got out before the ship sank. While I do not think that Neil was sleeping with all of his students, there was one in particular that he WAS sleeping with, before she was 18. After she turned 18, they moved in together and were inseparable. She was a very cool girl and it was clear why they were attracted to each other. Even though we were scandalized (mainly because we thought Neil was pretty gross), it did not surpise anyone that they moved in together. The other kids that followed him became like zombies. If you ran into one of the “Research” kids on the street post-graduation, it was like talking to a tree. IF you could get them to stop and say hi. They were terrified of speaking to any non-research person. During research, we would have “research typing parties”, and camping trips. The typing parties were basically Neil’s way of getting together slave labor. There was much drugging and drinking going on…parents had very good reason to be scared! The camping trips were basically a way fro Neil to gain even more control over the students, by having intense “discussions” about people’s flawed personalities, tearing everyone down one by one. They could be fun but also very traumatic. Neil most certainly drove a wedge in families…he pretended to be the only family you would need, and to not trust your parents. As you can imagine, in many households, this became a huge issue. If kids had boyfriends or girlfriends outside of Research, you were encouraged to split up because that person was a “superficial friend” (only “deep” relationships were encouraged). So yeah, to make a long story short, I would say that Neil was a monomaniacal chain smoking creep that really effected many people’s lives, for better or worse…and was most definitely fired from McAteer!
