Johanna Faust, a mixed race Jew, prefers to publish pseudonymously. She is committed: first, to preventing war, ecological disaster, and nuclear apocalypse; last to not only fighting for personal privacy & the freedom of information, but, by representing herself as a soldier in that fight, to exhorting others to do the same. She is a poet, always. All these efforts find representation here: "ah, Mephistophelis" is so named after the last line of Christopher Marlowe's Dr. Faustus, whose heretical success flouted the censor for a time.

URGENT: NEW POLICY MAY SUDDENLY TERMINATE SOC SEC BENEFITS OF MANY


LEAKED: SOCIAL SECURITY POLICY

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY:

'DROP AS MANY AS POSSIBLE'


PLEASE REPOST WIDELY.


Someone close to me, who gets social security benefits for mental disability, told me a few days ago that her psychiatrist told her about a recent semi-secret policy decision to quietly drop as many people as possible from the rolls.


She was told it would work like this: the beneficiary (or possibly payee) would receive a letter at his/her last official address of record. This letter would not be able to be forwarded. If the letter was not returned, the person's benefits would be summarily cut, and nearly impossible to reinstate.


Now, I have no way of verifying this, and I have no idea how the system is set up, or how it works. However, I, personally, trust my source on this. She told me that her psychiatrist said he wasn't supposed to warn her; that this was happening immanently, and that he expected that a very many people would lose their benefits suddenly in the near future.


EXPECT THIS LETTER ANY DAY NOW. IF YOU GET A LETTER THAT REQUIRES A RESPONSE OF SOME KIND, DO NOT DELAY. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK OLD ADDRESSES IF YOU HAVE RECENTLY MOVED OR IF THERE IS ANY WAY FOR THEM TO CLAIM THAT ANOTHER ADDRESS IS YOUR OFFICIAL ADDRESS.


My guess is, watch your mail like a hawk for the next month at least. Remember: if this is true, their goal is to drop as many people as possible. Don't let it be you.


Good luck with that.


PLEASE REPOST WIDELY.





Be seeing you.
