THE THOUGHTCRIME TOUR

THE LACK OF RLSH interest didn’t deter Richard. His next letter to me came in April 2011 and included a neatly handwritten list of all of the cities and states he would stop in, including famous landmarks and spots explicitly chosen because of their relation to conspiracy.

He finished his costume and created several protest signs. “Down With Big Brother,” with a circle and slash through an Eye of Providence, read one. “Beware of False Flag Attacks” read another, with an upside-down flag and “CIA” lettered next to it. His pièce de résistance was a sign that had a photo of President Obama with his eyes replaced with slatted lizard eyes, a pentagram on his forehead, and a long serpent tongue drooping out of his mouth. “Reptoid Royalty,” the sign read. “No Blue Bloods in the White House!”

Richard packed up his Thoughtcrimemobile and hit the road for his first protest stop, San Francisco, where he marched the streets around the Bohemian Club headquarters on Taylor Street on May 21, 2011. He found a parking garage to change in, then adhered a message to his sign holder that read “The Bohemian Club murders children every July 23!”

“I adapted to the whole parading-around-in-the-open thing better than I expected,” Richard wrote. A couple of people shouted things at him like “Alcatraz!” and “Illuminati!” or asked questions, but nothing major, except for one strange encounter.

Richard ended his day of protest by taking a selfie in his costume at the Golden Gate Bridge. Some tourists asked for his photo, too, and then he was approached by a man in his mid- to late 50s, wearing sunglasses. From Richard’s letter:

“He approached me and asked, ‘are you protesting the Bohemian Club?’

Me: ‘Yes, I am.’

‘Are you a member?’

‘No.’

‘I have a friend who was invited to the summer encampment this year. He’s an artist. Have you ever been invited?’

‘No.’

‘Have you ever been there?’

‘Yes. I snuck in back in 2002.’

‘Did you get caught?’

‘Outside the gate.’

‘A lot of weird stuff happens there.’

‘Yeah… it does.’

‘Well, anyway, have a good evening.’ (He leaves.)

‘You too.’

I definitely got a strange vibe from that guy. He was wearing sunglasses, so he was hard to ‘read.’ I strongly suspect that he was a Bohemian, himself. This guy had a ‘creepy/smooth’ tone to his voice similar to the retired Secret Service agent who grilled me in county jail.”
