PACTS, otherwise known as “People Against Covert Torture and Surveillance” is a support group for TIs run by Derrick Robinson out of Hemet, CA.
I can’t say that they’re really noteworthy apart from apparently being a sizeable group of TIs who regularly hold talks and conference calls.
Derrick also puts out a weekly newsletter that contains TI “news”, schedules of events, personals ads, suggestions, and etc. The newsletter is mildly entertaining and informative to keep up with the current state of the TI community if you’re wanting to do that. The conference calls can also be entertaining.
Here is the pamphlet that Derrick just put out:
With all that said, there is always some drama surrounding TIs. Our favorite TI Bryan Tew thinks (from his elite training as a government contractor trained in lie detection) that Derrick Robinson is a CIA agent (or something like that). Also this.
PACTS isn’t the first TI group that Robinson has been involved with. Previously he was head of FFCHS (“Freedom From Covert Harassment and Surveillance”). There was some kind of drama involving Derrick, the board, and some funds. Please note that I do not have a lot of substantive information or verification about those details, I’m just highlighting the drama and infighting.
Yeah, support to make these people more paranoid. A black hole with something neat around each corner; another corner.
This is a perp feed meant to discredit people who are in this program.
Nope.
