I was asked to show this movie at our County GOP headquarters. I did NOT want to watch it again - I was raised in North Minneapolis. It hit close to home for me. I showed it tonight and was shocked at the number of people that showed up and had never seen it. This is a great movie to get into everyone’s mind before November 5. The Harris/Walz ticket can NOT be allowed! It is free online at thefallofminneaplis.com - it is also free on YouTube.

I was absolutely naive. I remember the CIA recruitment protests. I remember walking past the hall where we did registration--Fraser Hall, I think--while that was going on because the protesters were blocking that road between Fraser Hall and Walter Library.
I had no idea about the occult bookshops or the "white witch" stuff. I was literally a Stranger in a Strange Land. But I lived in lots of places during and after my college years up there: St Anthony Main area, at the co-op on fraternity row for a bit, in Roseville (birthplace of Richard Dean Anderson), Uptown, East St. Paul, and then in the Lake St area just before I moved back to Illinois. I look back now and think that I was actually fortunate that I had to work so much to pay my way through college. My Mom (God bless her!) managed even in the midst of the 80s recession to pay my tuition at the U (I had in-state tuition after the first year because I had applied for it due to my boyfriend and I moving to MN to escape the economic disaster in the city we grew up in), but I paid my living expenses. So I was a full time student but working 30 hours per week too. I had no time to do anything but staying focused. In retrospect, i think that saved me from a lot of grief on multiple fronts.
I remember the Jacob Wetterling case vividly and have done a fair amount of digging on it since Q came on the scene. That case was definitely NOT what they were telling us it was.
The New Age subculture goes back decades. I did research on it years ago, but I don't have the findings at my fingertips. Here is one article I could find:

Those CIA protests were in the national print news at the time - I can't remember how I knew that (possibly just from looking at the headlines from USA Today, which you could buy from a machine with coins!)
It sounds like God did protect from a lot of evil influence with your demanding work and school schedule. I was approached by cult recruiters a few times on Lake Street while waiting for the 21A, near the Town Talk Cafe (and Rainbow foods). I think there must have been a Scientology compound near there, or something similar. They were pushy, but I was able to say "no."
Jacob Wetterling - I did a bit of digging a few years back. I agree, it was definitely not what we were told.
