Kit: Hello, I am Kitt.
Former COL: Pleased to meet you, if we're going by our stage names.
Kit: We are. You remember me.
Former COL: I do. You and your brothers and mother trained when I left.
Kitt: Can you confirm the existence of spin doctoring sites to stop former students from posting, and meetings about it?
Former COL: I can. I was in one of them. It was late 2006. You were there, but a teenager.
Kitt: I wasn't paying attention probably.
Former COL: Well, you didn't have to be. What are you now, in college? It has been a long time. Anyway, let's just get to the gritty stuff.
Kitt: Yes, off and on, in college. Married. You aren't. So, I have some questions. Some of the former COL claim that there was an incident in 1997 about the the men being threatened by Kim in a private meeting if they did not stop being horny. Can you confirm this story?
Former COL: That happened. I wasn't there, but I heard about it. She was 'testing them' for some reason. Sounded to me like a trap.
Kitt: Yes. Years ago there was a boy who was blamed for leaving out a garden claw on a road that popped a tire of Kim's car. Were you there?
Former COL: I was there. It was not that student. Clumsy instructor did it.
Kitt: Is there anything to the anklets on the leg if you fall asleep in COL house?
Former COL: Yep! But they stopped doing that after Mary kicked one of them in the face. Around 2017.
Kitt: You're telling me COL still had business as of two years ago?
Former COL: They have not stopped. Misinformation is out there, fake news, but mostly they don't ley you former little ones post on the net at all, for fear they're going to immediately be found out.
Kitt: Did Kim have an affair and try to cover it up by firing the man from his job at her company, and suing him?
Former COL: Yes, but let's not name anyone. She was shacking up with one of her black belts for years. This is disgusting. I didn't really know about it until I read about it on a web site. After others covered it, I contacted the man, who is no longer training, and he told me it was true, and didn't want to discuss it. I got a link to his ex's web site, Cultmember, but now it is gone.
Kitt: That is how you found me, partly.
Former COL: Yes. Your CultSlayerUs was informative. I liked the poetry. They even had reviews. It is probably not right to go by the route you all did, but you did it.
Kitt: A rumor circulated that some of the insider students had children illegitimately while on the retreats. Is that so?
Former COL: I don't know if anyone was DNA tested but there was on occasion 'ten sneaking' going on back in the day. One or more juniors got busted, but never any black belts. No, I am not your Father.
Kitt: Whew, that's a relief, but say it like Star Wars! No, that's impossible!
Former COL: Ha! I never got caught.
Kitt: Gross. Anyway, kidding aside, how many instructors were told what relationships they could have while in COL?
Former COL: All of them. Not one of us was to do anything without Kim's blessing, as she called it, or consent.
Kitt: Why did you go back?
Former COL: I was curious. They have a part time thing now, and can have people check them out, to see if they're really legit. Play it like a country club or special training club,. It's a cult.
Kitt: Have you had any contact with the persons known as Kitty Ki?
Former COL: Once. I was walking up the street and there one of them was. Said hello to me. I nodded back. We exchanged nothing.
Kitt: Are they still after the former student blogs?
Former COL: Not so much. They lost interest. Now people like those on Bullshido are ghosts. They asked me to find some contacts, but I joust could not. It's not like there is a cabal.
Kitt: Would you say we won?
Former COL: If it's a contest, hands down, smack down, done, tapped out, and all that.
Kitt: I see. That's good. Anything on Lighthouse?
Former COL: Nothing new. They're at Medford but are still trying to get rid of some property. Most of the school staff went up there. The school here is a ghost town.
Kitt: Were people with initials AES and SK and MBF and SS running something called Komodo Dragon or Frog and Scorpion to find us exers?
Former COL: SAK and TS were mainly running that under Kim's nose. She didn't directly deal with online people and issues. She had the links, but all of your OKD site is you guys.
Kitt: Did any of their plans work? Were we silenced?
Former COL: Nope.
Kitt: This was interesting. But did you know anyone called AB posting about Kim?
Former COL: Yes, but he is not here. He would not post.
Kitt: Seemed like he was in 2010 or so, but he stopped because his mother closed down the page.
Edited for content correction and more of the interview follows.
Former COL: I know some of my background chas to remain unclear, but I returned after leaving post 2007, was part of the 2011 demo thing, and was there at that 2017 testing they heavily edited. It had actually been done in 2016.
We have omitted mention of the watchdog, as he no longer trains.
Kitt: That matches what we found on him, so he's not a good source anymore. Out of the loop too long. So you did know him.
Former COL: Yes I did. Not anymore. I haven't seen much of him in years. He's not important to this. Stick to Kim.
Kitt: But we've got noting new on Kim,
Former COL: Oh it's out there. It's just really boring.
Kitt: I will check that out. Thanks.
Former COL: Don't mention it.
Kitt: Brought to you by our former mole at the academy. Heh.
Former COL: One of them. Kim didn't find us all, nor did we work together really. It wasn't like there was a conscious effort or a staff meeting one day, and we all decided let's turn on the academy we trained at. It wasn't like that at all. It was gradual. Independently we decided some of us ought to leave, and did. Unlike in the past though, I left without anyone protesting, or any special begging session, or any idle threats. I know of at least a few in the old days who left but were briefly back in because Kim did something to them, and made them come back. I didn't play that, so they never did that to me. They could tell I wasn't going to take that noise.
Kitt: You're talking about JO, aren't you? KW, AG, and the like?
Former COL: Yeah, that's a few of them. JO especially was hounded by the cult, let's say.
Kitt: Might I ask, how come you could recall the 1990s and the car incident, and others, and also the middle 2000s, and they will say, you could not have?
Former COL: I kept coming back, three times. Why? Self torture maybe. No, I needed the exercise. The drama, not so much.
Kitt: Did you know of my Mom and family?
Former COL: Yes, but it took a while to figure out what names you changed to. When I did, I was like, holy cow, it must be you. I am your mother's age. We destroyed a pie in the kitchen once. Ha.
Kitt: Oh, you must be JSW student!
Former COL: That was my Bullshido name. Yep. They will deny it, pretend I wasn't there, when I was, but I waited until now to come and comment.
Kitt: What of those awards in 2018 Kim got? Still paid for by students?
Former COL: You are right. Paid for by the students. And as for your Mom's discovery of her 'new book' you found, it's her old book with a new cover. Not as fake as her self promoting awards, but old news nonetheless. The awards are always fake, dearest. And I literally laughed out loud at 'beselling author quotes' on their Amazon page! No way in man's perdition did anyone ever say those lines about her book. Come on. Seven Steps did not make any best seller's list, unless you count the fake ones she bought into herself. I know, I helped buy her a spot in a high end magazine.
Kitt: I was told by another exer 'she looks good on paper'. Is it true?
Former COL: Yes, she does. But never question her about that, or even her master, as she will be defensive. Heh.
Kitt: Did you help her put up her wiki page?
Former COL: Unfortunately yes.
Kitt: Wow. So did she sell the mansion yet?
Former COL: It's still up for sale, but she trashed the grounds, or someone did for her, and it's not going to sell. He clumsy people did something similar at San Jose years ago, and they practically had to tear it all down and start over.
Kitt: That was in 2007 the first time you left?
Former COL: Yeah. I don't want to give you too much, as COL will figure out where I went, who I am, and the like. So let's keep it brief.
Kitt: Okay, is the Howard Johnson's story fake?
Former COL: Completely fake news. Never happened. Nor did she ever work as a teacher at a school there, like she bragged about the 'F you I love America'. That never happened. She was also never the head coach for the women's pre world games for Korea, on the old video. She was only a spotter or ref. That and her doctorate is honorary. You know all that from KW and them though.
Kitt: Who was LWSmed?
Former COL: RC. She's out.
Kitt: Is it ture that the 'legendary masters' event in 2011 was a disaster where she had to emply fake students to fill the demo?
Former COL: Yeah, hah, not only that, to fill the bleachers. We ticked off so many former students with our calls, nobody showed up, I mean nobody. We had like 34 people there! It was the most pathetic testing event ever, which is no wonder video of it never surfaced. I'd dare say it's second only to Romacercise.
Kitt: Oh God! I heard legends about that. I was little when it happened.
Former COL: Your Mom can tell you stories, as neither of our partners for that were remotely interested! Good thing because the feeling was mutual! Kid, never date a self absorbed computer engineer. I'm telling you. This is this. That is that. Boring!
Kitt: This is stuff we already know. Your telling me changes nothing.
Former COL: I'll have to dig up some new stuff and sen you links. I'll do that. Got to go though.
Kitt: Just so you know, I was not Hello.
Former COL: I know. But you knew her, and Hyeongsa.
Kitt: I did. Funnty they can't figure it out. Ha.
Former COL: That's what you get for borrowing your name from an anime. Peace out, kid.
Kitt: Ha.
