The main problem with progress at the Farm was too many chiefs and not enough Indians so to speak.  Everybody wanted to be the boss.  When new people  came in, they wanted to complain about all the work that had already been done because they knew a better way, claiming it was all done wrong etc.  This happened in every aspect of the work out there.    So they proceeded to tear things out or do things over which slowed the progress.  It was either lack of money or that everyone wanted to discredit everyone else.  They did not know how to work as a team and was headstrong in that area.  Wouldn't give an inch and the founder did not help by going behind everyone's back.  She actually approved all the work before it was done and approved how it was done.  And she gave a list for those she sent to town to get things.  They got exactly what she told them to get--nothing more and nothing less. 

We will see how the new link goes, but I can bet you that a complaint will come up by someone who thinks they know more than anyone else.  We will see who does it?

Were these people notified they had been banned from the farm?  No, it happened after they could not receive any emails from the residents group!  Legally shouldn't they be notified in writing by certified mail etc.?  Sounds like another trap to me.  If they go out there not knowing they have been banned, then what will the "founder" do?  That is mean.  Actually we did not get a notice either.  I am wondering how this happened with others.  How did they know they had been banned?  How did they know what they did was wrong to get banned?

Good Lord, when I looked up the term of sociopath, I could not believe how accurate "Dreamweaver" could be.  Thanks Dreamweaver for the great story!  This site is growing I believe. 

So the "founder" is still harping about that ten dollars on the deed?  The young man explained he never said that  in the meeting and she chooses to hang onto it so she can deflect the problem off her.  The young man was and is  not in the wrong.  She keeps saying something about a filing fee.  That statement is common in many kinds of transactions.  Some even say $1.00 and other consideration.  It is not a filing fee and most of us are brilliant enough to realize that. The statement really means nothing.  Some give the exact amount of the sale and some say this.  Ask any real estate agent and they will tell you.  She is creating a complete smokescreen for herself in my opinion.  Its called CYA.

For some of the "family' to compare this site with the Freedom Resident Site is inaccurate and wrong.  There is no comparison.  If you as a resident had stood behind the right, then this site would not have been needed at all.  Because she swayed you to her side for a while. 

This concept seems to have to be dreamed up by someone out to take people's money.   Sell them a piece of land in Texas over the internet misrepresentations, deposit in  her husband's name ( who is in North Carolina), don't furnish the lease to the people, (no paper trail) get the leasor to come work on something they were promised was already there.  Leasors  are stuck (in more ways than one)  because they have no other place to turn now.  Simply remind her of what you  were promised or ask questions and she and her cronies meet and vote you off without representation or having the right to face your accuser.  Once they promise they will give your money back and then they say they won't.  She did give some their money back it appears.

( Why some and not the others?)  

She and her friends (some new and some old) stick together like glue which makes you wonder if they are in on the scam?  Realizing some are now homeless and she has them by the rear, some  have to oblige her in her wishes for fear they will have no place to go either.  Some are even claiming they have been there from the start of the problem when they were not.  They just came in recent months.  The problem started when the facts were misrepresented over the internet.  When people got there, the problems magnified.  What the people were sold in the beginning, is  not what the people  ended up with.    That is the core of the problem.  When it started!  What was promised then and changed later! Or just simply did not exist.

To have a non-profit organization as she claims to have on so many different sites and to take donations as a non-profit, then she  should have  provided a receipt for those donations. People  have heard her many times, threaten to burn the community center down if this project folded.   My donations that I could recover  quickly came out because she never mentioned a receipt.  I never got a receipt and I am sure those people who gave so freely from their hearts to help the project go did not get one either.  Because if  she even thought of  burning the community center down if this project did not make it, then anyone in their right mind would go get their stuff out and it appears they did.  Many people have heard her threaten that and even another resident who is still there threatened it  also.  

So the people who got their stuff were brilliant in retrieving what they could.  It seems she is so ungrateful for anything.  The people who gave the most in money, time and effort to help this succeed should be commended in their attempts to make the project go.  INSTEAD THEY GOT SLANDERED, LIED ON, THREATENED AND SLAMMED. This  showed she did not appreciate anything they did. 

No receipts, no leases given, but money, time and energy was gladly taken. 

I would like to thank you for this site where we can come here to post our thoughts without sensor or without deleting and ignoring what we have to say.  We have had enough retaliation for only asking questions at Freedom Ranch...I pray that this exposure will help keep others from investing in this apparent scam.
