Who Are The Cassiopaeans?

Comment

In Dr. Richard Sauder’s recent article Event Horizon: Incoming and Fast! reference is made to an unusual group of folks known as The Cassiopaeans. In his discussion of the current ills of our society, he mentions two sources of analysis that are, as he says, “interesting.” One source is Mike Ruppert’s From the Wilderness, a former LAPD officer who stumbled onto the CIA’s drug operation and since 9/11 has become an outspoken critic of the Bush administration, and the other is The Cassiopaean’s website.

The two sites do look somewhat similar, blogger type news story entries with books and videos for sale. But the similarity stops at the surface. Mr. Ruppert’s site is significant for its open and honest discussions of real political and social issues. The Cassiopaeans are definitely a horse of another color, one apparently not from around hereliterally.

Dr. Sauder’s own works displays the same almost schizoid divisions. On the one hand is apparently solid research, well documented and on serious topics, and on the other hand there is the whole bizarre carnival of UFO disinformation, and these extremes are blended together to make a tapioca of plausibility that is acceptable as long as no one looks to deeply into things such as sources.

Here’s what Dr. Sauder had to say:

I further believe that the Cassiopaeans’ analysis begins to explore some of the deeper, core issues at play. Are the Cassiopaeans correct in every last jot and tittle of what they say? I very strongly doubt it. But the value I see in the issues they raise is that they raise the issues to begin with. Precious few people are even talking about most of the things the Cassiopaeans discuss.

The Cassiopaeans (whoever or whatever they really are) may be part of a cosmic (or not so cosmic) intelligence plan that is fiendishly insidious and devious — or they may equally be, as they say, a benevolent force who intend to lend a helping hand to a troubled planet, populated by a severely, violently dysfunctional species (Earth humans). I hope it is the latter, but I cannot categorically exclude the former, if the stakes are as high as the Cassiopaeans allege that they are.

As I understand it, the Cassiopaeans allege that Earth is a crucial battlefield in a mighty war that has raged across the galaxy, covering vast stretches of time and space and consciousness. The current Earth scene, according to them, has actors both seen and unseen, known and unknown, and overlapping levels of strategy and mighty political and spiritual agendas with tremendous implications for the human race and planet Earth and many other beings and planets elsewhere in the galaxy, and even in other dimensions.

Let us give Dr. Sauder credit here for not entirely swallowing the Cassiopaean party line. However, even with his serious disclaimer, “part of a cosmic (or not so cosmic) intelligence plan that is fiendishly insidious and devious” Dr. Sauder still finds the scenario they present compelling enough to comment on, indeed even to preach from as one more scary vision against which we must react. One must ask: why would anyone, who strongly suspected a source of being disinformation, go right ahead and use it over such a disclaimer?

Perhaps Dr. Sauder is alerting his reader to this, as he says “insidious and devious” intelligence operation, as a way to suggest the direction the wind is blowing. Perhaps the next step is to promote a very “us versus them” paranoid outer space cult with radical political opinions as a way to siphon off and completely discredit and marginalize any serious researcher looking into the topics the Cassiopaeans have co-opted and twisted beyond recognition. And Dr. Sauder, at the conclusion of his article, directs the reader to the “organizations and websites that I have mentioned above” as a way to begin their own journey “towards personal and planetary freedom.” Perhaps, in his way, Dr. Sauder is actually trying to promote the Cassiopaean view of reality.

At any rate, the curious will look up their site. What they will see, if they look closely, is a very clever confidence game, the old wine of Madame Blavatsky in the new bottle of radical politics and pseudo-science. It is the new bottle, and its shiny label endorsements, that the website presents, but when the vintage Cassiopaeans are uncorked, the stale and rancid smell of spiritualism, egoism and covert operations is almost overpowering.

Let’s start with the spiritualism. The Cassiopaeans are supposedly discarnate intelligences in something called “sixth density” that are riding a “wave” of some kind towards us through inter-density space/time, or something similar. The pseudo-science babble is almost impenetrable, for instance a density is not a dimension, although densities have dimensions, and this is not surprising given that the information was “channelled” via the use of a spirit or ouiji board.

Even among folks who take such things seriously, the spirit board has a bad reputation. It is thought of as primarily a way for “lower astral shells” to drain off living energy by playing mind games with those who use them. The Spiritualist Church, which still exists and has enclaves around the country, specifically states that no “higher spirit guides” have been known to use the board, and therefore forbids its practitioners from using it generally. Now, Spiritualists are not averse to disincarnate beings, they are in fact their stock in trade, so if they have a problem with a spirit board, as a basic instrument, then it might be prudent to heed their warning.

Yet, we find that the long history of the Cassiopaean communication was made by means of a ouiji board. That fact alone is enough to make the knowledgeable researcher very suspicious. And since the ouiji board is open to both cheating and possession by “lower astral shells,” then the question becomes the character of the person, or persons, whose hands were involved in the “readings.” The slightest hint of mental instability or moral slackness should alert us to serious problems with the received information. Garbage in, garbage out is a valuable rule.

As for the egoism, it is subtle, but all pervasive throughout the Cassiopaean material. And this hint of absolute rightness provides our first clue to the problems of character that is so important in such a paranormal exchange. The Cassiopaeans are actually just the projected unconscious fantasies of the real voice of Cassiopaea, one Laura Knight-Martin-Jadczyk. Reading even the heavily edited transcripts of the Cassiopaean sessions available on the website provides ample evidence of Ms. Knight-Martin-Jadczyk’s self-absorbed ego involvement, her love freewheeling newage scams, and her ardent desire to cash in on her connection to the Cassiopaeans. In her other even more voluminous autobiographical writings, we find more evidence of a seriously disturbed individual.

Let’s look at a few of the more prominent examples: 1. Several suicide attempts as a child and a history that includes some possible abuse and a great deal of instability in her family life. (See Amazing Grace and The St Pete Times article The Exorcist in Love for more details.) 2. A prosecution for attempted murder at age 18 under very suspicious circumstances, including the fact that she has changed the public version of the story several times now. (See the Tallahassee article on the Cassiopaean site.) 3. Several children out of wedlock and by different fathers, and a long history of SSI and insurance scams. (See Amazing Grace on the Cassiopaean website for details.) 4. Extreme delusional behaviour – she believed her husband was an alien plant sent to spy on her – resulting the break-up of her marriage. (See Exorcist in Love for details.)

By the time Ms. Knight-Martin-Jadczyk came to believe that her then husband, Lewis Martin, was an alien robot from 4th density, her life had been completely consumed by the Cassiopaeans. It seems that during her search for a good newage scam – she tried various mail-order scams and such things as Past-Life Therapy and Spirit Release Exorcisms and other obscure forms of pseudo-hypnotic modalities – she stumbled onto another lost soul, one “Frank Scott” to give him his official pseudonym. Between them, they tried channelling, and soon settled, for various reasons, on the ouiji board. Things progress rapidly from there. Soon, Ms. Knight and “Frank” were hitting the UFO conventions, spreading the word. (See various chapters in Amazing Grace and Adventures for details.)

That’s where Tom French found her, the author of the Exorcist in Love article. He followed her around for years, through her divorce and her marriage to Ark, more on that in a moment. When he finally wrote the article, he was as conflicted as he had been in the beginning. Ms. Knight was sincere, and she made good copy, and in the end he decided not to get a psychiatric evaluation on her. If he had, her subsequent career might have been very different. She might have gotten help before the covert operation began.

In the spring of 1997 Polish physicist Dr. Arkadiusz Jadczyk somewhat mysteriously arrived on the scene after a whirlwind courtship with Ms Knight-Martin on the web. Dr. Jadczyk had a long history as a high-energy physicist working for various branches of the Polish government and observing the other research centers in Europe. This doesn’t quite make him a spy, see his CV on the Cassiopaean website, but what happened after he met Ms. Knight-Martin does make one wonder.

Dr. Jadcyzk was inconveniently already married, as was Ms. Knight-Martin at that point, and at first he found it impossible to arrange a visit to the States. Suddenly, a grant arrived, from the George Soros Foundation by way of the Central European University, and after a brief visit to the CEU (where apparently some kind of identity theft occurred, see Adventures with the Cassiopeans in the Matrix Part 18 for details), Dr. Ark arrived in Florida. Apparently it wasn’t love at first sight, but Dr. Ark quickly found out that whatever deal he had made with whatever devil, he was about to be held to account.

He found that both his job, at the University of Wroclow, and his marriage were gone, along with every dime of savings he had. Dr. Ark, literally, had no choice but to return to the States and his romance with Ms. Knight-Martin and the Cassiopaeans. They got married, and for a while Dr. Ark did a little teaching and some consulting, until his clearance was pulled and the University of Florida discovered his proclivity for ouiji aliens and anti-gravity devices. After that, it was full time work on the Cassiopaean Cult. (See Adventures with the Cassiopeans in the Matrix Part 19 for details.)

With Dr. Ark’s skilful guidance, what once was a simple tea and trances con game became a worldwide conspiracy movement. The changes were implemented slowly and in stages, but the end result was unmistakable. As even Dr. Sauder, whom the Cassiopaeans love to quote, commented, they appear to be a very clever and sophisticated, “insidious and devious,” intelligence operation. With even a little awareness of Dr. Ark’s background, and it is all on the website in various places, it becomes apparent that the Cassiopaeans may have started out harmless, but they have been hi-jacked and co-opted by some very complex intelligence operation.

The early sessions with the Cassiopaeans, and even after Dr. Ark arrived, show no political slant at all beyond the usual space reptoid hysteria du jour. “Frank Scott” the original other pair of hands on the ouiji board departed in 2000, and for a while the Cassiopaeans seemed to be adrift. Then Dr. Ark became the other half of the ouiji duo, and things began to change quickly. Spies and evil “psychopaths”were discovered in the group, and Stalin-esque purges were conducted. Campaigns began against other researchers, mostly those whose work the Cassiopaeans seemed fond of appropriating, and soon even allegations of murder and black ops followed. By September 11, 2001, the Cassiopaeans were poised on the verge of the big time.

Their newfound radicalism grew out of old habits, such as Dr. Ark’s anti-Semitism and Ms. Knight-Martin-Jadcyzk’s narcissistic persecution complexes, projected outward onto a global stage. It found an audience, hiding its deeply flawed assumptions beneath a veneer of anti-Americanism and radicalism that appeal to many in this turbulent era. The Cassiopaeans offer a way to make sense of complex problems, a way to throw the blame for one’s shortcomings on to those evil “psychopaths” in charge of everyone’s life. And of course, there is no way to beat these evil aliens, except to read and study the teachings of the Cassiopaeans.

The question of course is why? Why would any intelligence operation be interested in such drivel?

The answer lies in the way Dr. Sauder mixed his reference to Mike Ruppert with the Cassiopaeans. By putting Ruppert on the same level, “interesting,” as the Cassiopaeans, you diminish the value of one, Ruppert, while inflating the value of the other, the Cassiopaeans. Could this be accidental? Hardly

If all sources have the same value – honest reporting and investigation equals ouiji board channelling – then we have abolished all rules of reason and sanity. Every imagining can be true if you get someone else to believe it is trueIn that scenario the clever psychic manipulators win out every time. This is the essence of mind control; nothing is false, everything is true; everything is false, nothing is true, until only the programmer can be relied upon for “truth.” In the world of the Cassiopaeans, only the inner circle, Ms. Knight-Martin-Jadcyzk and her cronies, have a lock on “truth” and they dole it out as needed to keep the crowd coming back for more.

But, and here’s the point, if all sources are the same, and some are obviously false, then no source can be trusted. Mike Rupert’s facts become as speculative as the ravings of the Cassiopaeans. And when the Cassiopaeans are finally exposed for what they are, a fraud and an intelligence operation, then their demise can be used to point at other radicals and independent researchers and say: “See, told you they were all full of it. Just a bunch of crazies spouting off nonsense”

So, let us agree with Dr. Sauder when he says that the Cassiopaeans are an “intelligence plan that is fiendishly insidious and devious” And in doing so, let’s separate out the obvious disinformation sources and intelligence plants, such as the Cassiopaeans, from the real researchers, such Mike Ruppert, before the line is muddied so completely that all sources of information are equally just “interesting.”

Response to the Defamation published by Rense (later removed) by Laura Knight-Jadczyk, originally posted: June 13, 2003

In recent days there has been quite a firestorm of controversy ignited over my little piece on Mossad and Moving Companies. Normally, I don’t have to worry that my occasional news/comment pieces will go much further than this site. It’s not like I haven’t made many comments about Mossad and the possibility that they are implicated in the 9-11 attacks from day one – and nobody has really noticed – until now. At the time of 9-11 I wrote:

It seems fairly obvious that, as many of the pundits were saying, there was a “failure of intelligence.”

Well, aside from the grim humor of such a remark, what does it really mean?  Is it even remotely possible for that many aircraft to be hijacked at once, for those routes to be changed without being noticed, for those who notice to not ask questions, and once the questions have been asked, for there not to be some action taken pretty damn quick?

What about the simple matter of having “intel,” or “inside info”?  Was this attack staged by an organization with absolutely no shoelaces left untied in terms of moles, double agents, or other leaks?  In this day and time, that is almost inconceivable.

So, either it is possible that such was the case – there were no leaks – or that there WERE leaks, and someone turned a blind eye for their own objectives. [...]

Meanwhile, playing into the “anti-Muslem,” anti-Palestinian mode of thinking is ALSO falling into the clutches of the manipulators.

What is more: there is the even more chilling possibility that it was done by those who would wish to cast blame UPON the Muslems or the Palestinians by manipulating them, helping them, and egging them on. Because it is fairly easy to see that the results of such an action would be so great a level of retaliation that only madmen would bring that kind of wrath down upon their own people.

Again: observe the results: THEY ARE INTENTIONAL.

[...]

One of the more obvious interpretations is that the whole incident with its comparison to “Pearl Harbor” is exactly that: an inducement to war. It is now generally known that the United States was aware of Japan’s plans to attack Pearl Harbor well enough in advance to have taken preventive action. [...] But the U.S. did NOT take action – not even so simple an action as warning the troops to get the heck out of the way.

Why?  Well, obviously, the U.S. wanted to get into the war and the people were dead set against it. How to manipulate the people to ask the government to go to war?  Why, Pearl Harbor, of course. So we have the government playing the part of “restrained shepherd of democracy” who is waiting for the public (which is being manipulated by the media which is manipulated and/or controlled by the government) to DEMAND satisfaction by war.

Today we are confronted with saber rattling of the most extreme sort. It passes even the war dances that were plastered on billboards and television and broadcast on radios prior to the Gulf War. [...]

We are appalled at the whole thing. We are sick to think of those driven to actually jump from the WTC to escape the heat, the flames, the destruction and horror of that Charnel house. One witness nearly broke down when he reported that the sky was “raining bodies.” People were jumping in pairs, holding hands.

Yes indeed! We are most heartily upset, offended, outraged, stunned, and just about every miserable and horrifying adjective you can think up. We are almost unable to even express our feelings for those whose lives were destroyed in this catastropic event, the dead as well as those connected to the dead directly or indirectly.

But, damn it! What if that is INTENDED?!

And intended by WHOM?!

WHO STANDS TO GAIN By ANY action taken in response to this event??

Remember what FDR said: If it happens, it was planned that way.

And then there is the old intel guy who told me that one of the first rules of intelligence is to observe the situation AS IT IS, and extrapolate to who will gain from it.

And there is only one answer here.

Shortly after 9-11, Richard Sauder wrote:

I submit that what we are seeing is closely akin to magic. Shall we call it “BLACK MAJIC”?  That is, we are simultaneously observing, and taking part in, and also being subjected to, a vast global power struggle, an attempt by the “New World Order” to place the entire planet under its totalitarian, imperial control.

I say this is BLACK MAJIC, not because it has anything to do with Black people, per se, though there are certainly multitudes of Black people who are its victims, both in America and other parts of the world (as well as every other variety of human being). NO– I say it is “BLACK” MAJIC because it is so darkly, hideously violent and grotesquely murderous and fratricidal and malevolent.

I say it is BLACK “MAJIC” because it is done to our faces and so many of us either cannot or will not see it for what it is.

I say it is “BLACK” MAJIC because the underlying geo-politics have so much to do with crude, oh-so-very BLACK petroleum. And like any other magic this BLACK MAJIC is done right in front of us– we watch the whole thing and think we know what is happening, while in reality so many of us are fooled, bamboozled, hoodwinked and flummoxed by superficial glitz, glitter and the distractions of the stage craft, oops, make that “state craft” of the wily, slippery, lying BLACK MAJIC practitioners, until we don’t know left from right, up from down, justice from injustice, or lies from truth. [...]

[I]t is definitely MAJIC and MAJIC of a very ancient and murderous sort. It stretches all the way back to the time of the medieval Crusades by the Knights Templar and beyond… powerful groups in both Muslim and Western societies are making use of an ancient, ritual system of magic…

Richard is the author of two extensively researched books on “underground bases,” wherein he has assembled documentation, from the files of the U.S. government,of technology that rarely sees the light of day. Richard obviously was very uneasy about this material and in his essay of 2001, he certainly was glimpsing something…

It’s actually very interesting that Richard wrote about it in terms of “Black Majic.”

There exists in our world today a powerful and dangerous secret cult.

So wrote Victor Marchetti, a former high-ranking CIA official, in his book The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence. This is the first book the U.S. Government ever went to court to censor before publication. In this book, Marchetti tells us that there IS a “Cabal” that rules the world and that its holy men are the clandestine profession

Those you who have read our commentary on the Stargate Conspiracy by Picknett and Prince, already have some idea that it is this very conspiracy that has been described in our experiment in superluminal communication – the Cassiopaean Experiment. What is more, this experiment has exposed the conspiracy down to the very roots of it in the realms of hyperdimensional realities that ARE PHYSICAL as Einstein proposed.

Dr. Sauder says further:

Just as in an ordinary magic show, that is staged in a theatre before an audience, here there are also magicians, assistants, sleight of hand, magical props, diversion of the audience’s attention, carefully timed pauses for building tension and dramatic effect to keep the audience on the edge of their seats, as well as sudden tricks that are pulled seemingly out of thin air on a moment’s notice, unexpectedly, to make the audience “ooh” and “aah” and manipulate their emotions.

…and listen real closely — they are all playing from the same ritualistic BLACK MAJIC playbook, the first rule in which playbook is DIVIDE AND CONQUER. As in, divide and conquer the human race. Split the planet asunder and have everyone at everyone else’s throat, the better to slaughter, plunder, manipulate and control. …It is a power unto itself and it has only one goal that I can divine: total, ruthless global control and 100% subjugation of the human race to its iron will, and on its own jackbooted terms.

Suffice it to say at the moment, that we are dealing with a cosmic, multi-millennial shell game. Yes, there is a pea under one of the shells, but the shells keep changing with the intent of confusing even the most discerning researcher. Without the assistance of the superluminal Cassiopaean transmissions from the future, I am certain that we would be among them.

Dr. Sauder is right when he points out that human agents of this great MAJIC show are expendable – all of them. There is something bigger and meaner and more cunning than anything you could come up with in your worst nightmare behind this.

But we never expected this magic show to be easy to figure out, now did we Truth is, if it was that easy a puzzle to solve, it would have been done millennia ago. The greatest minds of history have been applied to the problems and issues of the true nature of our reality, (and we have most certainly researched all these many views ourselves in search of the answers), and in the end, they all have valid points and observations, but each of them lacks that essential element that enables the researcher to be able to connect them together so that a coherent picture is seen. It has only been through the assistance of the Cassiopaean experiment, that we were able to see these connections. It is only in terms of para-physical, hyperdimensional beings with time-travel capabilities and designs on our planet, that the whole, trans-millennial picture makes sense.

Coming back to the present moment in time, with the controversy around the net over my little assembled data that was published as “Mossad and Moving Companies,” for which I can take almost no credit since all I did was utilize the research of others, presenting it in a concise, short format, I noticed something this morning that REALLY caught my eye.

As it happens, a few hours ago I did a short interview on the Jeff Rense show. It wasn’t really a big deal, but what WAS odd was the way it came about and the players who stepped up to the plate once again.

A few days ago, Richard Sauder – a careful researcher if ever there was one – wrote another article – Event Horizon: Incoming and Fast! – that was published on the Jeff Rense news site. The following is excerpted from his article:

Global warming is very much in the news these days. Is massive, sudden climate change possible It appears that it is and that it is underway during out lifetimes, with unknown consequences. The climate could continue to get warmer- perhaps much warmer. Or it may warm for awhile and then abruptly grow colder, perhaps much colder. Even glacially so. The geological and glacial record shows that ice ages can come on with surprising quickness and ferocity. In some cases seemingly within a matter of years. If there were rapid, global climate change (whether becoming hotter or colder) the social, economic, environmental and political implications would be staggering. World ‘managers’ would certainly want to assure that whatever happens, they will remain in charge. Thus, their ‘herd’ must be numbered, tagged, and whipped into submission so that it can be properly managed as the situation grows more dire. And it may well grow more dire if the present climate changes now underway continue. [...]

As the numbers of people increase, controlling what they do and think becomes harder and harder. Enter the Pentagon as a mercenary, social control force for the new Republican neo-fascist regime. [...]

Population biologists know that species that overrun their ecological niche run a serious risk of sudden decline. Is this soon to be the fate of the human species on planet Earth Maybe. Maybe not. No one knows for sure. But it is absolutely one of the hugest, unknown variables in the chaotic period we have already entered. The chaos and uncertainty have already begun — that much we know, both those of us who are awake to some degree, and those who fancy themselves to be world ‘managers’. If there is to be a population crash they will want to land on their feet, on top of the heap, when the dust clears. They will want to control it if possible. If they feel it is inevitable, they may even want to initiate and manage it themselves (or try to). [...]

Then there is the ancient Mayan calendar. The Mayan priests were obsessive time keepers. They measured out vast stretches of time in intricate detail. When their ancient stellae were deciphered it was discovered that their future time line ends in December 2012. December 2012 is just 9 years from now – not long at all. So what did the Mayans foresee By implication, they have forecast some kind of abrupt break in the human experience in our very near future. Did the Mayans manage to correctly forecast our present time Is big change right around the corner Is the change so great that it will be as if we have entered a new era in history [...]

The Mayans, time keeping has certainly not escaped the notice of the world ‘managers’. Indeed, they will have found it to be most alarming. Remember what the Roman Catholic bishop of the Yucatan did way back in the early Spanish colonial period He ordered the Mayans to bring all of their books and had them burnt, at musket and sword point. The Roman Catholic church recognized the great danger (for its so-called ‘Christian’ teachings and power) that Mayan knowledge represented. Half a millennium has passed and today the Bush Reich exercises the sort of power on a global scale that the Roman Catholic church exercised in centuries past. So I seriously doubt that the present world ‘managers’ are unaware of the Mayans, time keeping. On the contrary, they may well attach some degree of credence to the Mayans, mysterious focus on the early years of this present century.

Let me give you an idea of what I mean. I recently talked with a retired petroleum engineer (in Texas) who has long experience in the oil industry. I asked him how much longer the American people would be driving their cars, SUVs, motorcycles and pickup trucks. He quietly replied: ‘Twenty years.’ (Then the oil runs out.)

Twenty years until there is a massive upheaval in American and world society. Actually less than that. In fact, the upheaval is already violently underway if you live in Iraq and maybe Iran– as the Pentagon’s mercenary troops try to secure Middle Eastern oil fields. The neo-fascists know very well that the really BIG upheaval is just around the corner and they are trying to control the situation on terms that they dictate, by employing massive force abroad. And by the way, does anyone doubt that massive force would be/will be employed here on American soil to ensure the success of the Republican neo-fascist social-control-at-all-costs agenda Isn,t that the plain implication of the Department of Homeland Security

Of course, the smart thing to do would be to undertake a massive research and development program for environmentally benign, alternative energy sources to phase in as soon as possible. The Earth has abundant, nearly free energy sources that can be tapped — wind energy, tidal forces in the sea, geothermal resources, solar energy. The engineering expertise is available to tap all of these on a large scale and in the near term. It is also possible to greatly increase the efficiency of our present industrial base, thereby realizing substantial and immediate energy conservation. But none of these things are happening; neither are they likely to happen as long as the present self-anointed world ‘managers’ are on the scene. These people, as epitomized by the neo-fascist Republican regime that has seized political power in the United States, and their assorted ‘wannabe’, sycophantic supporters such as the American Democratic Party at home, and various and sundry other violent dimwits here and there around the planet (Blair, Sharon, Musharraf, Berlusconi, Mubarak, etc., the line forms at the rear), are not much into the ‘vision’ thing – oh no, they are very heavily into the ‘nightmare’ thing, as in neo-fascist apocalypse.

Unfortunately, a big chunk of the human species seems to share this self-destructive, negative programming defect. Is it genetic Sociological Political Psychological Imposed from without against free will Generated from within because of free will Does it even matter very much at this late date from a pragmatic standpoint, seeing as how this grotesquely violent, global chain of events is so far advanced down the road to species perdition

There are many interesting analyses of the present situation. Some of the most interesting I have found are: Mike Ruppert’s From the Wilderness, for a great discussion of the Peak Oil and 9/11 issues and also the Cassiopaeans, for an engaging discussion of some of the more esoteric aspects of what is happening and likely to happen in coming years and decades on planet Earth. [...]

So it was that somebody on Jeff Rense’s site had a look at Cassiopaea and discovered the article on Mossad and Moving Companies. An invitation to be interviewed was immediately dispatched, and we had a nice little chat a few hours ago. That’s that. End of story, right

Actually, no.

Among the many things I noticed about the autumn of 2001 was that, at almost the same time that alleged Islamic Terrorists allegedly brought down the World Trade Center and put a hole in the Pentagon, our own work was attacked by a group of “spiritual terrorists” after we refused to be taken over and/or controlled by them. Obviously, COINTELPRO masters decided that we were getting too much attention from the public and we must be co-opted or marginalized at all costs.

Those of the readers who followed this story as it developed in real time probably don’t even want to go there again. I can assure you, neither do we!

Nevertheless, the COINTELPRO agents assigned to our case most certainly could not allow an article to be published on Jeff Rense, nor an interview take place, without doing their job:

The most effective weapon of COINTELPRO is Ridicule and Debunking. Notice that Marchetti points out that this is done via manipulation of

individuals in areas of important public influence – including the academic world

and the mass media

.

As of today, there is a “comment” added to Richard Sauder’s article on Rense.com. Regular readers will not only recognize the names, if you bother to go and read the comment, you will recognize the same old tired rant of the COINTELPRO agents of MOSSAD, Jay Weidner and Vincent Bridges.  In this libelous piece, Bridges and Weidner have decided that Richard Sauder must be “reprimanded” for daring to consider our information even remotely credible. They write:

Dr. Sauder’s own works displays the same almost schizoid divisions. On the one hand is apparently solid research, well documented and on serious topics, and on the other hand there is the whole bizarre carnival of UFO disinformation, and these extremes are blended together to make a tapioca of plausibility that is acceptable as long as no one looks to deeply into things such as sources. [...]

That’s a jaw dropping statement  coming from a guy whose entire professional biography was plagiarized and falsified and who also believes he is the reincarnation of Dr. John Dee; a guy who performs magical ceremonies with a straight face, thinking he is going to call down the “New Jerusalem,” assuming that the cube of space doesn’t fall on him and squash him like a bug, and publishes that kind of nonsense on the internet!

Of course, it IS surprising that Jeff Rense, right after telling me that the reason MY article made it on his site was because I cited credible sources, then published Bridges’s libelous rant based completely on lies and deception from a guy who displays all the characteristics of a psychopath. But, it gets better. The Mossad Moppets, Weidner and Bridges continue:

Perhaps, in his way, Dr. Sauder is actually trying to promote the Cassiopaean view of reality.

At any rate, the curious will look up their site. What they will see, if they look closely, is a very clever confidence game, the old wine of Madame Blavatsky in the new bottle of radical politics and pseudo-science. It is the new bottle, and its shiny label endorsements, that the website presents, but when the vintage Cassiopaeans are uncorked, the stale and rancid smell of spiritualism, egoism and covert operations is almost overpowering. [...]

Notice that there is no citing of any material that Weidner and Bridges disagree with, simply suggestive and manipulative smearing without substantive arguments or facts.

The Cassiopaeans are actually just the projected unconscious fantasies of the real voice of Cassiopaea, one Laura Knight-Martin-Jadczyk.

I should note right here that this is an absurd lie and there is considerable evidence to show that the Cs are not “projected unconscious fantasies.”   Again, no substantive facts or arguments, just more ad hominem smearing.

Reading even the heavily edited transcripts of the Cassiopaean sessions available on the website provides ample evidence of Ms. Knight-Martin-Jadczyk’s self-absorbed ego involvement, her love freewheeling newage scams, and her ardent desire to cash in on her connection to the Cassiopaeans. In her other even more voluminous autobiographical writings, we find more evidence of a seriously disturbed individual. [...]

Again, no substantive facts or arguments, just more ad hominem smearing.

In the spring of 1997 Polish physicist Dr. Arkadiusz Jadczyk somewhat mysteriously arrived on the scene after a whirlwind courtship with Ms Knight-Martin on the web.

Nothing mysterious about it: it was witnessed and documented in the St. Petersburg Times by Tom French.

Dr. Jadczyk had a long history as a high-energy physicist working for various branches of the Polish government and observing the other research centers in Europe. This doesn’t quite make him a spy, see his CV on the Cassiopaean website, but what happened after he met Ms. Knight-Martin does make one wonder. [...]

Here I am going to insert an exchange between my husband, Ark, and Jeff Rense:

Dear Jeff,

Joe and Sam of our group have already notified you about our (Laura’s and mine) surprise seeing a libelous post about us on your site.

Here I want just to make several specific comments about the matters that relate to me personally:

In the article posted on your site and signed by Bridges and Weidner the readers will find:

“Dr. Jadczyk had a long history as a high-energy physicist working for various branches of the Polish government ..”

It is a lie, and you can easily check that it is a lie by just checking my cv. I never worked as a “high energy physicist”, my domain is “mathematical physics.” I never worked for any branch of the Polish government. I am a professor of theoretical physics at the the University of Wroclaw, Poland, and I was always working there teaching mathematical physics.

“.. observing the other research centers in Europe”

I never visited research centers anywhere in the world in order to “observe them”. When I visited these centers it was always on invitation from researchers from these centers, and such invitations are always issued when one scientist wants to collaborate with another scientist.

“He found that both his job, at the University of Wroclaw, and his marriage were gone.”

Another outright lie: As you can easily check that I am still a member of the faculty and I hold the position of a professor of theoretical physics in the same university.

I will skip the analysis of other lies. My question: is it your policy to publish on your site articles that consist of lies after lies, where the authors do not even care to document their positions in any way: they just slander and libel?

Regards,

Arkadiusz Jadczyk

Jeff Rense responded:

Dear Arkadiusz,

I ordered their comment deleted within a few hours of posting. I have personally known Jay Weidner for about 7 years and know him to be a fine person of unquestioned devotion to scholarship and integrity. I do NOT know Mr. Bridges. I posted the comment because Jay has ALWAYS AND ONLY sent me credible, viable, well-researched material. Upon closer examination, it seems that Mr. Bridges has severely colored Mr. Weidner’s spotless reputation and I ordered the Comment deleted. Someone or some people have been SELECTIVELY destroying and delaying and blocking my email for over a year now. It has been a nightmare problem to deal with. It is now clear that those people blocked/deleted my orders to my webmaster to delete the Weidner-Bridges comment. I assumed it was long gone. At the moment, I am trying to contact my webmaster through several different channels to get it removed. I just sent him SIX copies of delete orders…ALL of which would not process…but all other mail is sent immediately. I am more than perplexed. I have no direct means of working with the material on my site…it is all done by James. I am continuing as this is written to effect deletion of the Comment. Please accept my word on that. I am cc’ing this to James as well.

I won’t enter into a discussion of Jeff Rense’s claims about Jay Weidner that he makes above, except to mention that, in a communication to someone else some years later, he claimed not to know him at all.

Now, back to the COINTELPRO defamation program:

With Dr. Ark’s skilful guidance, what once was a simple tea and trances con game became a worldwide conspiracy movement. The changes were implemented slowly and in stages, but the end result was unmistakable. [...] With even a little awareness of Dr. Ark’s background, and it is all on the website in various places, it becomes apparent that the Cassiopaeans may have started out harmless, but they have been hi-jacked and co-opted by some very complex intelligence operation. [...]

Their newfound radicalism grew out of old habits, such as Dr. Ark’s anti-Semitism and Ms. Knight-Martin-Jadcyzk’s narcissistic persecution complexes, projected outward onto a global stage.

This last is particularly astonishing since it was Vincent Bridges involvement in what was widely seen as an anti-Semitic, Nazi Black Magic cult that got him tossed out of the Cassiopaean discussion group and our relationship was terminated!

It found an audience, hiding its deeply flawed assumptions beneath a veneer of anti-Americanism and radicalism that appeal to many in this turbulent era. The Cassiopaeans offer a way to make sense of complex problems, a way to throw the blame for one’s shortcomings on to those evil “psychopaths” in charge of everyone’s life. And of course, there is no way to beat these evil aliens, except to read and study the teachings of the Cassiopaeans.

Aside from associating our research on psychopathy with “aliens” in so devious a way, in glancing over the Bridges rant, I noted a lot of nonsensical emphasis placed on our so-called “political” agenda.

Now, the question is this: What could this political agenda possibly be that Bridges and Weidner are alluding to?  They never come right out and say what it is other than to mention “anti-Semitism…” which, of course, suggests a “pro-Semitic” agenda on the part of Weidner and Bridges.

Our political position is pretty well out there in the open: we are against war and global fascism, and we see what Bush and the Gang are up to and we would like to stay focused on that and hopefully, if we continue to publish news and commentary, others will see it also.

Is that a “political agenda”?!

Now, keep in mind that Bridges’s best buddy, Storm Bear Williams tried to run for president on the Pagan Party ticket – so there are clearly some political agendas going on in that group.

But for anyone to say that we have a “political agenda” just sort of boggles the mind. Just think about it: Ark is a Polish citizen, I am an American citizen, we are living in France because we want to be able to continue to research and work unmolested.  And yes, part of that work includes collating and publishing material that exposes the global New World Order/ Illuminati/Zionist/whatever agenda in hopes that people will wake up before it is too late.

That IS our so-called “political agenda.”

Neither one of us ever could or would run for any political office in this country or any other. And, for the record, Ark is not even a “nuke scientist” nor did he ever work for the Polish government. In point of fact, he was black-listed for years because he refused to cooperate with the communist regime, and he was always independent, and even a “dissident”, in his views and in his actions.

[Ark's note: My speciality is mathematical physics. My position: professor of theoretical physics at the Division of Nonlinear Systems and Complex Dynamics, Institute of Theoretical Physics, University of Wroclaw, Poland.  See: http://arkadiusz-jadczyk.org/

But a whole raft of lies and nonsense are trotted out in an effort to promote the idea that we have a POLITICAL AGENDA!

Does that mean that Bridges and Weidner do NOT think that there is any reasonable possibility that the clues indicating MOSSAD involvement in the 9-11 events are valid?!  It certainly seems that the whole idea of MOSSAD involvement in 9-11 is the main thing that Weidner and Bridges wish to discredit.

Does that mean that Bridges and Weidner are defending Mossad and Israel?

Sure looks that way

Who Are The Cassiopaeans?
 
Comment
 
By Jay Weidner and Vincent Bridges
jjayweidner.com
6-13-3
 
In Dr. Richard Sauder's recent article Event Horizon: Incoming
and Fast! (see
http://www.rense.com/general38/eventhorizon.htm) reference is
made to an unusual group of folks known as The
Cassiopaeans. In his discussion of the current ills of our society,
he mentions two sources of analysis that are, as he says,
"interesting." One source is Mike Ruppert's From the
Wilderness, a former LAPD officer who stumbled onto the CIA's
drug operation and since 9/11 has become an outspoken critic
of the Bush administration, and the other is The Cassiopaean's
website.
 
The two sites do look somewhat similar, blogger type news story
entries with books and videos for sale. But the similarity stops at
the surface. Mr. Ruppert's site is significant for its open and
honest discussions of real political and social issues. The
Cassiopaeans are definitely a horse of another color, one
apparently not from around hereliterally.
 
Dr. Sauder's own works displays the same almost schizoid
divisions. On the one hand is apparently solid research, well
documented and on serious topics, and on the other hand there
is the whole bizarre carnival of UFO disinformation, and these
extremes are blended together to make a tapioca of plausibility
that is acceptable as long as no one looks to deeply into things
such as sources.
 
Here's what Dr. Sauder had to say:
 
I further believe that the Cassiopaeans' analysis begins to
explore some of the deeper, core issues at play. Are the
Cassiopaeans correct in every last jot and tittle of what they say?
I very strongly doubt it. But the value I see in the issues they raise
is that they raise the issues to begin with. Precious few people
are even talking about most of the things the Cassiopaeans
discuss.
 
The Cassiopaeans (whoever or whatever they really are) may be
part of a cosmic (or not so cosmic) intelligence plan that is
fiendishly insidious and devious -- or they may equally be, as
they say, a benevolent force who intend to lend a helping hand to
a troubled planet, populated by a severely, violently dysfunctional
species (Earth humans). I hope it is the latter, but I cannot
categorically exclude the former, if the stakes are as high as the
Cassiopaeans allege that they are.
 
As I understand it, the Cassiopaeans allege that Earth is a
crucial battlefield in a mighty war that has raged across the
galaxy, covering vast stretches of time and space and
consciousness. The current Earth scene, according to them, has
actors both seen and unseen, known and unknown, and
overlapping levels of strategy and mighty political and spiritual
agendas with tremendous implications for the human race and
planet Earth and many other beings and planets elsewhere in
the galaxy, and even in other dimensions.
 
 
Let us give Dr. Sauder credit here for not entirely swallowing the
Cassiopaean party line. However, even with his serious
disclaimer, "part of a cosmic (or not so cosmic) intelligence plan
that is fiendishly insidious and devious" Dr. Sauder still finds the
scenario they present compelling enough to comment on,
indeed even to preach from as one more scary vision against
which we must react. One must ask: why would anyone, who
strongly suspected a source of being disinformation, go right
ahead and use it over such a disclaimer?
 
Perhaps Dr. Sauder is alerting his reader to this, as he says
"insidious and devious" intelligence operation, as a way to
suggest the direction the wind is blowing. Perhaps the next step
is to promote a very "us versus them" paranoid outer space cult
with radical political opinions as a way to siphon off and
completely discredit and marginalize any serious researcher
looking into the topics the Cassiopaeans have co-opted and
twisted beyond recognition. And Dr. Sauder, at the conclusion of
his article, directs the reader to the "organizations and websites
that I have mentioned above" as a way to begin their own journey
"towards personal and planetary freedom." Perhaps, in his way,
Dr. Sauder is actually trying to promote the Cassiopaean view of
reality.
 
At any rate, the curious will look up their site. What they will see, if
they look closely, is a very clever confidence game, the old wine
of Madame Blavatsky in the new bottle of radical politics and
pseudo-science. It is the new bottle, and its shiny label
endorsements, that the website presents, but when the vintage
Cassiopaeans are uncorked, the stale and rancid smell of
spiritualism, egoism and covert operations is almost
overpowering.
 
Let's start with the spiritualism. The Cassiopaeans are
supposedly discarnate intelligences in something called "sixth
density" that are riding a "wave" of some kind towards us
through inter-density space/time, or something similar. The
pseudo-science babble is almost impenetrable, for instance a
density is not a dimension, although densities have dimensions,
and this is not surprising given that the information was
"channelled" via the use of a spirit or ouiji board.
 
Even among folks who take such things seriously, the spirit
board has a bad reputation. It is thought of as primarily a way for
"lower astral shells" to drain off living energy by playing mind
games with those who use them. The Spiritualist Church, which
still exists and has enclaves around the country, specifically
states that no "higher spirit guides" have been known to use the
board, and therefore forbids its practitioners from using it
generally. Now, Spiritualists are not averse to disincarnate
beings, they are in fact their stock in trade, so if they have a
problem with a spirit board, as a basic instrument, then it might
be prudent to heed their warning.
 
Yet, we find that the long history of the Cassiopaean
communication was made by means of a ouiji board. That fact
alone is enough to make the knowledgeable researcher very
suspicious. And since the ouiji board is open to both cheating
and possession by "lower astral shells," then the question
becomes the character of the person, or persons, whose hands
were involved in the "readings." The slightest hint of mental
instability or moral slackness should alert us to serious
problems with the received information. Garbage in, garbage out
is a valuable rule.
 
As for the egoism, it is subtle, but all pervasive throughout the
Cassiopaean material. And this hint of absolute rightness
provides our first clue to the problems of character that is so
important in such a paranormal exchange. The Cassiopaeans
are actually just the projected unconscious fantasies of the real
voice of Cassiopaea, one Laura Knight-Martin-Jadczyk. Reading
even the heavily edited transcripts of the Cassiopaean sessions
available on the website provides ample evidence of Ms.
Knight-Martin-Jadczyk's self-absorbed ego involvement, her love
freewheeling newage scams, and her ardent desire to cash in
on her connection to the Cassiopaeans. In her other even more
voluminous autobiographical writings, we find more evidence of
a seriously disturbed individual.
 
Let's look at a few of the more prominent examples: 1. Several
suicide attempts as a child and a history that includes some
possible abuse and a great deal of instability in her family life.
(See Amazing Grace and The St Pete Times article The Exorcist
in Love for more details.) 2. A prosecution for attempted murder
at age 18 under very suspicious circumstances, including the
fact that she has changed the public version of the story several
times now. (See the Tallahassee article on the Cassiopaean
site.) 3. Several children out of wedlock and by different fathers,
and a long history of SSI and insurance scams. (See Amazing
Grace on the Cassiopaean website for details.) 4. Extreme
delusional behaviour - she believed her husband was an alien
plant sent to spy on her - resulting the break-up of her marriage.
(See Exorcist in Love for details.)
 
By the time Ms. Knight-Martin-Jadczyk came to believe that her
then husband, Lewis Martin, was an alien robot from 4th density,
her life had been completely consumed by the Cassiopaeans. It
seems that during her search for a good newage scam - she
tried various mail-order scams and such things as Past-Life
Therapy and Spirit Release Exorcisms and other obscure forms
of pseudo-hypnotic modalities - she stumbled onto another lost
soul, one "Frank Scott" to give him his official pseudonym.
Between them, they tried channelling, and soon settled, for
various reasons, on the ouiji board. Things progress rapidly
from there. Soon, Ms. Knight and "Frank" were hitting the UFO
conventions, spreading the word. (See various chapters in
Amazing Grace and Adventures for details.)
 
That's where Tom French found her, the author of the Exorcist in
Love article. He followed her around for years, through her
divorce and her marriage to Ark, more on that in a moment.
When he finally wrote the article, he was as conflicted as he had
been in the beginning. Ms. Knight was sincere, and she made
good copy, and in the end he decided not to get a psychiatric
evaluation on her. If he had, her subsequent career might have
been very different. She might have gotten help before the covert
operation began.
 
In the spring of 1997 Polish physicist Dr. Arkadiusz Jadczyk
somewhat mysteriously arrived on the scene after a whirlwind
courtship with Ms Knight-Martin on the web. Dr. Jadczyk had a
long history as a high-energy physicist working for various
branches of the Polish government and observing the other
research centers in Europe. This doesn't quite make him a spy,
see his CV on the Cassiopaean website, but what happened
after he met Ms. Knight-Martin does make one wonder.
 
Dr. Jadcyzk was inconveniently already married, as was Ms.
Knight-Martin at that point, and at first he found it impossible to
arrange a visit to the States. Suddenly, a grant arrived, from the
George Soros Foundation by way of the Central European
University, and after a brief visit to the CEU (where apparently
some kind of identity theft occurred, see Adventures with the
Cassiopeans in the Matrix Part 18 for details), Dr. Ark arrived in
Florida. Apparently it wasn't love at first sight, but Dr. Ark quickly
found out that whatever deal he had made with whatever devil,
he was about to be held to account.
 
He found that both his job, at the University of Wroclow, and his
marriage were gone, along with every dime of savings he had.
Dr. Ark, literally, had no choice but to return to the States and his
romance with Ms. Knight-Martin and the Cassiopaeans. They got
married, and for a while Dr. Ark did a little teaching and some
consulting, until his clearance was pulled and the University of
Florida discovered his proclivity for ouiji aliens and anti-gravity
devices. After that, it was full time work on the Cassiopaean Cult.
(See Adventures with the Cassiopeans in the Matrix Part 19 for
details.)
 
With Dr. Ark's skilful guidance, what once was a simple tea and
trances con game became a worldwide conspiracy movement.
The changes were implemented slowly and in stages, but the
end result was unmistakable. As even Dr. Sauder, whom the
Cassiopaeans love to quote, commented, they appear to be a
very clever and sophisticated, "insidious and devious,"
intelligence operation. With even a little awareness of Dr. Ark's
background, and it is all on the website in various places, it
becomes apparent that the Cassiopaeans may have started out
harmless, but they have been hi-jacked and co-opted by some
very complex intelligence operation.
 
The early sessions with the Cassiopaeans, and even after Dr.
Ark arrived, show no political slant at all beyond the usual space
reptoid hysteria du jour. "Frank Scott" the original other pair of
hands on the ouiji board departed in 2000, and for a while the
Cassiopaeans seemed to be adrift. Then Dr. Ark became the
other half of the ouiji duo, and things began to change quickly.
Spies and evil "psychopaths"were discovered in the group, and
Stalin-esque purges were conducted. Campaigns began
against other researchers, mostly those whose work the
Cassiopaeans seemed fond of appropriating, and soon even
allegations of murder and black ops followed. By September 11,
2001, the Cassiopaeans were poised on the verge of the big
time.
 
Their newfound radicalism grew out of old habits, such as Dr.
Ark's anti-Semitism and Ms. Knight-Martin-Jadcyzk's narcissistic
persecution complexes, projected outward onto a global stage. It
found an audience, hiding its deeply flawed assumptions
beneath a veneer of anti-Americanism and radicalism that
appeal to many in this turbulent era. The Cassiopaeans offer a
way to make sense of complex problems, a way to throw the
blame for one's shortcomings on to those evil "psychopaths" in
charge of everyone's life. And of course, there is no way to beat
these evil aliens, except to read and study the teachings of the
Cassiopaeans.
 
The question of course is why? Why would any intelligence
operation be interested in such drivel?
 
The answer lies in the way Dr. Sauder mixed his reference to
Mike Ruppert with the Cassiopaeans. By putting Ruppert on the
same level, "interesting," as the Cassiopaeans, you diminish the
value of one, Ruppert, while inflating the value of the other, the
Cassiopaeans. Could this be accidental? Hardly
 
If all sources have the same value - honest reporting and
investigation equals ouiji board channelling - then we have
abolished all rules of reason and sanity. Every imagining can be
true if you get someone else to believe it is trueIn that scenario
the clever psychic manipulators win out every time. This is the
essence of mind control; nothing is false, everything is true;
everything is false, nothing is true, until only the programmer can
be relied upon for "truth." In the world of the Cassiopaeans, only
the inner circle, Ms. Knight-Martin-Jadcyzk and her cronies, have
a lock on "truth" and they dole it out as needed to keep the crowd
coming back for more.
 
But, and here's the point, if all sources are the same, and some
are obviously false, then no source can be trusted. Mike Rupert's
facts become as speculative as the ravings of the
Cassiopaeans. And when the Cassiopaeans are finally exposed
for what they are, a fraud and an intelligence operation, then their
demise can be used to point at other radicals and independent
researchers and say: "See, told you they were all full of it. Just a
bunch of crazies spouting off nonsense"
 
So, let us agree with Dr. Sauder when he says that the
Cassiopaeans are an "intelligence plan that is fiendishly
insidious and devious" And in doing so, let's separate out the
obvious disinformation sources and intelligence plants, such as
the Cassiopaeans, from the real researchers, such Mike
Ruppert, before the line is muddied so completely that all
sources of information are equally just "interesting."

How to Spot COINTELPRO Agents

The subject of COINTELPRO comes up quite a bit on our websites and has done so since we became fully aware of its activity in the various “alternative news/views” movements back in late 2001. Up to that point in time, we were thinking that it was probably likely that, now and again, a group might be infiltrated by an agent for a specific purpose. What we were NOT aware of was the vast, overarching program that seems to be in place for the primary purpose of controlling absolutely everything via the control of the minds of the masses!

Yeah, that’s a pretty unbelievable project to contemplate, but for groups with unlimited resources and the agenda to stay on the top of the heap, it’s really not so hard. And never has this activity been more evident than in the 9/11 Truth Movement which I want to discuss here. But, before getting to that specifically, let me give a little background.

Some time ago I published an article entitled “Cosmic COINTELPRO” which said, in part:

Richard Dolan’s UFOs and the National Security State is the first comprehensive study of the past 50 years of the U.S. Government’s response to the intrusion of UFO phenomena in America. The compiled evidence – which includes government documents – suggests that a group of specialists working in the shadows, set up and executed the most massive cover-up in the history of government; and that the Human Potential movement and the subsequent New Age movements, were key elements of this cover-up. In other words, they not only have used the “colorful community” of alternative ideas as an unwitting tool of disinformation, it is highly probable that most of it was literally created by them as COINTELPRO. Dolan writes:

By the mid-1940s, America’s intelligence apparatus had reason to believe that there were artifacts in the skies that did not originate from America, Russia, Germany, or any other country. These objects violated some highly sensitive military airspace, and did not appear to be natural phenomena. One may presume that the affected national security authorities made it an immediate obsession to determine the nature and purpose of these objects, and we may infer that the issue probably became a deep secret by 1946, or 1947 at the latest.

It was at this precise moment in time that the so-called Human Potential movement was “born.”

Do we think that this was a coincidence?

By the mid-50s, it was becoming obvious that things were getting out of control and in August of 1956, the FBI began its COINTELPRO operation. When traditional modes of repression (exposure, blatant harassment, and prosecution for political crimes) failed to counter the growing insurgency, and even helped to fuel it, the Bureau took the law into its own hands. Its methods ranged far beyond surveillance, and amounted to a domestic version of the covert action for which the CIA has become infamous throughout the world.

Usually, when we think of COINTELPRO, we think of the most well known and typical activities which include sending anonymous or fictitious letters designed to start rumors, among other things, publishing false defamatory or threatening information, forging signatures on fake documents, introducing disruptive and subversive members into organizations to destroy them from within, blackmailing insiders in any group to force them to spread false rumors, or to foment factionalism, and so on.

What a lot of people don’t keep in mind is the fact that COINTELPRO also concentrated on creating bogus organizations.

These bogus groups could serve many functions which might include attacking and/or disrupting bona fide groups, or even just simply creating a diversion with clever propaganda in order to attract members away so as to involve them with time-wasting activity designed to prevent them from doing anything useful. COINTELPRO was also famous for instigation of hostile actions through third parties so that it looked like just a “disagreement” between two individuals or groups, a “food fight” or something, and there was no way to connect it to any government operation.

Now, let us take a few logical steps. The UFO problem emerged into the national consciousness in 1947, or thereabouts. Not long afterward, a lot of people began asking a lot of questions. The government wasn’t answering, and so the people began to band together to find out the answers for themselves. They started forming groups. And this is where things get just a bit curious. The thing that was most threatened by the UFO/alien issue seems to have been the Standard Monotheistic Religions. Religion seems to be a necessary component of political control. Social control – that is the mainstay of religion – was most definitely under threat. In fact, what seems to be true is that it is not even clear that religions – as we know them – would have survived a full disclosure. So the logical conclusion is that part of the main reason for the cover-up was to “protect the religious status quo ” – or to create a new “religion” by which masses of people could be controlled.

As things stood at the time, protecting the religious status quo – mainly the social controls that stem from religion – was iffy at best. After a century of scholarly investigation into many religious texts, and the raising of many questions about the “old time religion,” there were a lot of people in society who were most definitely turning away from religious dogma. It’s fairly simple to take the next logical step and see that a combining of the questions of those who were disenchanted with religion, with the questions of those who wanted to know just what the heck was going on in terms of possible “extraterrestrials,” was seen as a dangerous and explosive mixture.

Something had to be done.

The activities of COINTELPRO in attempting to neutralize political opposition have been pretty well exposed. But we are now considering the fact that, in addition to political activists, it seems that COINTELPRO has particularly targeted groups that are seeking the truth about the interactions between the US government and Ultra Terrestrials, or so-called “aliens.” That a long-time cover-up of these matters has been in effect is certainly evident to any careful researcher.

The COINTELPRO files show the U.S. Government targeted a very broad range of religious, labor and community groups opposed to any of its agendas, and it is only logical to assume that the same type of operation would be created to cover up the “alien agenda.” Such a theoretical COINTELPRO operation also goes far in explaining why, when the sincere researcher of UFO phenomena enters this field, he or she discovers only lies, lies, and more lies; confusion and disinformation. That is most definitely the signature of COINTELPRO.

Considering all of this, would anybody care to suggest that it did not also occur to the Powers that Be that the chief means of diverting attention and covering up the truth would be to literally fund and create the “New Age” and “Human Potential movement” so that it would follow their agenda of keeping secrets? So that it would create a New Religion of Aliens that THEY controlled?

In other words, it is extremely likely that the most successful and popular of Metaphysical Mavens and New Age Impresarios are COINTELPRO agents – either conscious or dupes of those who are. The objective seems to be to attack and “neutralize” those who are seeking the answers. Those who are sincere, who do bona fide research and seek to explicate the truth, are infiltrated, attacked, and marginalized according to standard COINTELPRO procedures.

What all of this seems to suggest is that the Powers That Be (PTB) have developed COINTELPRO to an all new level of Social Shaping, Cultural Brainwashing, and the main targets of this activity would include virtually anyone who is seeking the truth about the shifting realities of our world. The cases of COINTELPRO activities against political groups must be no more than the tip of the iceberg, given that the great bulk of COINTELPRO-type operations remain secret until long after their damage has been done. By all indications, domestic covert operations have become a permanent feature of U.S. politics and Social Programming, and it is hardly likely, considering the evidence, that the New Age and Human Potential fields are exempt.

The implications of this are truly alarming. Those who manage to get close to the truth of these matters, despite the many obstacles in their path, face National covert campaigns to discredit and disrupt their research and reputations. Clearly, COINTELPRO and similar operations under other names also work to distort academic and popular perceptions of the problems facing our world. They have done enormous damage to the search for the Truth.

“Terrorism is changing. New adversaries, new motivations and new rationales have surfaced in recent years to challenge much of the conventional wisdom…” wrote Dr. Bruce Hoffman, Director of RAND. And he was right. The only problem is, the reader is largely unaware of the definition of “new adversaries” that might be implied in his remarks.

I think that it is pretty easy to “read” the 9/11 Truth Movement into the above description of COINTELPRO in the “New Age.” In fact, after all that practice, it must have been a piece of cake to just move in and co-opt those who were suddenly drawn into an “alternative” point of view by 9/11. A lot of people who have absolutely no interest in metaphysics, religion, and so forth, DO have an interest in politics and history and current affairs.

Now, one of the interesting things we have observed about COINTELPRO is the way it shifts and warps in response to possible exposure. I believe that I was the first to realize the extent and nature of the operation, and I began publishing my speculations about it in the Adventures With Cassiopaea series back in early 2002. Not too long after that, individuals that I KNEW to be “agents” of COINTELPRO began to start ranting about COINTELPRO and pointing the finger this way and that way. Up to this point in time, the lid had pretty much remained shut on the subject – I guess they were hoping that people would forget about it, or think that it was over and done with back in the 70s, nothing to worry about now!

But nope, I saw it and wrote about it and they just had to do something. So, in typical COINTELPRO fashion, they started producing endless noise to obscure the signal. Particular attention was paid to me; I guess I had to be punished for daring to call a spade a spade. I was accused of being COINTELPRO myself, of being funded by George Soros, my husband was accused of being an “ex cold war nuke scientist,” and the previous attacks that had alerted me to the COINTELPRO problem to begin with – vile and vicious defamation, character assassination, and so on – ramped up to an unbelieveable level.

As usual, I learned a lot by observing and doing research to find out who was connected to whom.Of course, once I began publishing such exposes, the program shifted again. The internet was already being scrubbed of articles and stories that did not support the government 9/11 claims that had been published in the early days after 9/11. Seems like some additional scrubbing took place in removing material that might link various agents together. Additionally, such resources as the “whois” services became useless with the use of “proxy registration” of websites. Many things that had been on the web before 9/11 suddenly disappeared. Many things also disappeared from the usually reliable webarchive as well. In some instances, we had the foresight to archive pages, but not always. I even have some pages archived and certified in my files. They may come in handy someday.

With over 100 researchers in our Quantum Future Group, scattered around the globe, we have even resorted to sending a member out to do hand searches in various places. In one case, the member was shortly afterward visited by some “Israeli Art Students.” How’s that for “personal attention?”

Not long after I published research findings on the people behind GodlikeProductions Forum, we received an email warning, and two “personal contacts” of a threatening nature. Let us just say that when you begin to find connections between such popular websites and drug and pedophile rings, you are cruising into dangerous international trafficking waters and discretion may very well be the better part of valor.  I should note, while on the subject, that this is not uncommon: to find such connections; after all, that’s one of the ways that secret agencies make their money – drugs and human trafficking, including children – and have the means to control government officials: blackmail. It’s a pretty handy set-up: provide the drugs and the sex, get photos and movies or recordings, and voila! Instant control of just about anybody!

So, while I can’t take the risk of telling exactly who is who here, just let me give a general warning: drugs and pedophilia – and even arms trafficking – are connected to a lot of people who you would never, ever suspect! Imagine! A popular New Age teacher giving seminars on such things as how to create your higher astral body and meet your angel guides (for example) who also runs a cover operation for shipping arms to CIA sponsored guerilla groups and ALSO has programs for “special children”? Can we say “Star kids” and “Indigo?”

Getting back to 9/11 and COINTELPRO in that venue: if you don’t already know that probably 80 to 90 percent of what is out there is noise, then you might want to get up to speed pretty fast.

I’ve got this handy little booklet here entitled “How to Spot a Spy,” which was put together back during the days of the “Global Movement for Justice and Eco-Peace,” when COINTELPRO was running rampant and some of those groups learned the hard way. It was sent to me by a member of QFG (thanks DS) I’ve been thinking about updating it and making it available to 9/11 researchers. Here is what it says, mainly, synopsized and skipping some repetitive stuff:

How To Spot a Spy

One way to neutralize a potential activist is to get them to be in a group that does all the wrong things. Why?

1) The message doesn’t get out.

2) A lot of time is wasted

3) The activist is frustrated and discouraged

4) Nothing good is accomplished.

FBI and Police Informers and Infiltrators will infest any group and they have phoney activist organizations established.

Their purpose is to prevent any real movement for justice or eco-peace from developing in this country.

Agents come in small, medium or large. They can be of any ethnic background. They can be male or female.

The actual size of the group or movement being infiltrated is irrelevant. It is the potential the movement has for becoming large which brings on the spies and saboteurs.

This booklet lists tactics agents use to slow things down, foul things up, destroy the movement and keep tabs on activists.

It is the agent’s job to keep the activist from quitting such a group, thus keeping him/her under control.

In some situations, to get control, the agent will tell the activist:

“You’re dividing the movement.”

[Here, I have added the psychological reasons as to WHY this maneuver works to control people]

This invites guilty feelings. Many people can be controlled by guilt. The agents begin relationships with activists behind a well-developed mask of “dedication to the cause.” Because of their often declared dedication, (and actions designed to prove this), when they criticize the activist, he or she – being truly dedicated to the movement – becomes convinced that somehow, any issues are THEIR fault. This is because a truly dedicated person tends to believe that everyone has a conscience and that nobody would dissimulate and lie like that “on purpose.” It’s amazing how far agents can go in manipulating an activist because the activist will constantly make excuses for the agent who regularly declares their dedication to the cause. Even if they do, occasionally, suspect the agent, they will pull the wool over their own eyes by rationalizing: “they did that unconsciously… they didn’t really mean it… I can help them by being forgiving and accepting ” and so on and so forth.

The agent will tell the activist:

“You’re a leader!”

This is designed to enhance the activist’s self-esteem. His or her narcissistic admiration of his/her own activist/altruistic intentions increase as he or she identifies with and consciously admires the altruistic declarations of the agent which are deliberately set up to mirror those of the activist.

This is “malignant pseudoidentification.” It is the process by which the agent consciously imitates or simulates a certain behavior to foster the activist’s identification with him/her, thus increasing the activist’s vulnerability to exploitation. The agent will simulate the more subtle self-concepts of the activist.

Activists and those who have altruistic self-concepts are most vulnerable to malignant pseudoidentification especially during work with the agent when the interaction includes matter relating to their competency, autonomy, or knowledge.

The goal of the agent is to increase the activist’s general empathy for the agent through pseudo-identification with the activist’s self-concepts.

The most common example of this is the agent who will compliment the activist for his competency or knowledge or value to the movement. On a more subtle level, the agent will simulate affects and mannerisms of the activist which promotes identification via mirroring and feelings of “twinship”. It is not unheard of for activists, enamored by the perceived helpfulness and competence of a good agent, to find themselves considering ethical violations and perhaps, even illegal behavior, in the service of their agent/handler.

The activist’s “felt quality of perfection” [self-concept] is enhanced, and a strong empathic bond is developed with the agent through his/her imitation and simulation of the victim’s own narcissistic investments. [self-concepts] That is, if the activist knows, deep inside, their own dedication to the cause, they will project that onto the agent who is “mirroring” them.

The activist will be deluded into thinking that the agent shares this feeling of identification and bonding. In an activist/social movement setting, the adversarial roles that activists naturally play vis a vis the establishment/government, fosters ongoing processes of intrapsychic splitting so that “twinship alliances” between activist and agent may render whole sectors or reality testing unavailable to the activist. They literally “lose touch with reality.”

Activists who deny their own narcissistic investments [do not have a good idea of their own self-concepts and that they ARE concepts] and consciously perceive themselves (accurately, as it were) to be “helpers” endowed with a special amount of altruism are exceedingly vulnerable to the affective (emotional) simulation of the accomplished agent.

Empathy is fostered in the activist through the expression of quite visible affects. The presentation of tearfulness, sadness, longing, fear, remorse, and guilt, may induce in the helper-oriented activist a strong sense of compassion, while unconsciously enhancing the activist’s narcissistic investment in self as the embodiment of goodness.

The agent’s expresssion of such simulated affects may be quite compelling to the observer and difficult to distinguish from deep emotion.

It can usually be identified by two events, however:

First, the activist who has analyzed his/her own narcissistic roots and is aware of his/her own potential for being “emotionally hooked,” will be able to remain cool and unaffected by such emotional outpourings by the agent.

As a result of this unaffected, cool, attitude, the Second event will occur: The agent will recompensate much too quickly following such an affective expression leaving the activist with the impression that “the play has ended, the curtain has fallen,” and the imposture, for the moment, has finished. The agent will then move quickly to another activist/victim.

The fact is, the movement doesn’t need leaders, it needs MOVERS. “Follow the leader” is a waste of time.

A good agent will want to meet as often as possible. He or she will talk a lot and say little. One can expect an onslaught of long, unresolved discussions.

Some agents take on a pushy, arrogant, or defensive manner:

1) To disrupt the agenda 2) To side-track the discussion 3) To interrupt repeatedly 4) To feign ignorance 5) To make an unfounded accusation against a person.

Calling someone a racist, for example. This tactic is used to discredit a person in the eyes of all other group members.

Saboteurs

Some saboteurs pretend to be activists. She or he will ….

1) Write encyclopedic flyers (in the present day, websites)

2) Print flyers in English only.

3) Have demonstrations in places where no one cares.

4) Solicit funding from rich people instead of grass roots support

5) Display banners with too many words that are confusing.

6) Confuse issues.

7) Make the wrong demands.

8) Compromise the goal.

9) Have endless discussions that waste everyone’s time. The agent may accompany the endless discussions with drinking, pot smoking or other amusement to slow down the activist’s work.

Provocateurs

1) Want to establish “leaders” to set them up for a fall in order to stop the movement.

2) Suggest doing foolish, illegal things to get the activists in trouble.

3) Encourage militancy.

4) Want to taunt the authorities.

5) Attempt to make the activist compromise their values.

6) Attempt to instigate violence. Activisim ought to always be non-violent.

7) Attempt to provoke revolt among people who are ill-prepared to deal with the reaction of the authorities to such violence.

Informants

1) Want everyone to sign up and sing in and sign everything.

2) Ask a lot of questions (gathering data).

3) Want to know what events the activist is planning to attend.

4) Attempt to make the activist defend him or herself to identify his or her beliefs, goals, and level of committment.

Recruiting

Legitimate activists do not subject people to hours of persuasive dialog. Their actions, beliefs, and goals speak for themselves.

Groups that DO recruit are missionaries, military, and fake political parties or movements set up by agents.

Surveillance

ALWAYS assume that you are under surveillance.

At this point, if you are NOT under surveillance, you are not a very good activist!

Scare Tactics

They use them.

Such tactics include slander, defamation, threats, getting close to disaffected or minimally committed fellow activists to persuade them (via psychological tactics described above) to turn against the movement and give false testimony against their former compatriots. They will plant illegal substances on the activist and set up an arrest; they will plant false information and set up “exposure,” they will send incriminating letters [emails] in the name of the activist; and more; they will do whatever society will allow.

This booklet in no way covers all the ways agents use to sabotage the lives of sincere an dedicated activists.

If an agent is “exposed,” he or she will be transferred or replaced.

COINTELPRO is still in operation today under a different code name. It is no longer placed on paper where it can be discovered through the freedom of information act.

The FBI counterintelligence program’s stated purpose: To expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, and otherwise neutralize individuals who the FBI categorize as opposed to the National Interests. “National Security” means the FBI’s security from the people ever finding out the vicious things it does in violation of people’s civil liberties.

A slight breach in orthodoxy is sufficient to terrify authoritarian ideologues who see in it the collapse of the system of thought control that has been so effctive in depoliticizing American Society. Noam Chomsky.

And that’s about it for the booklet: How To Spot a Spy!

Is Cassiopaea a Cult, or under attack by COINTELPRO AGENTS?

COINTELPRO was the FBI’s secret program to undermine the popular upsurge which swept the country during the 1960s. Though the name stands for “Counterintelligence Program,” the targets were not enemy spies. The FBI set out to eliminate “radical” political opposition inside the US. When traditional modes of repression (exposure, blatant harassment, and prosecution for political crimes) failed to counter the growing insurgency, and even helped to fuel it, the Bureau took the law into its own hands and secretly used fraud and force to sabotage constitutionally – protected political activity. Its methods ranged far beyond surveillance, and amounted to a domestic version of the covert action for which the CIA has become infamous throughout the world.

In recent years, the FBI and other agencies have tried to clean up their image. They have engaged in careful concealment of post-COINTELPRO domestic counterintelligence operations. This effort has sold the “new FBI” to some of the most prominent critics of earlier COINTELPRO. University professors and congressional committees that helped to expose the domestic covert action of the past now deny its persistence in the present. Because of their credentials, these respectable “objective” sources do more damage than the FBI’s blatant right- wing publicists. Left uncontested, their sophistry could disarm a new generation of activists, leaving them vulnerable to government subversion.

In addition to political activists, it seems that COINTELPRO has particularly targeted groups that are seeking the truth about the interactions between the US government and Ultra Terrestrials, or so-called “aliens.” That a long-time cover-up of these matters has been in effect is certainly evident to any careful researcher. The problem is, discovering the truth of what is being concealed.

Many readers have written to us complaining that we are being diverted from our path by the actions of the COINTELPRO agents. However, by studying the history of such operations, any well-informed reader will soon realize that action is needed, and it is needed as soon as the discovery of the operation is made. The COINTELPRO files show the U.S. government targeting a very broad range of religious, labor and community groups opposed to any of its agendas, and it would be foolish to not realize that this very operation extends to the US coverup of its “alien agenda.” The presence of a COINTELPRO operation also goes far in explaining why, when the sincere researcher enters this field, he or she discovers only lies, lies, and more lies. Confusion and disinformation. And it is clearly deliberate, promulgated by Metaphysical Mavens and New Age Impresarios – COINTELPRO agents, all of them.

The objective seems to be to attack and “neutralize” those who are seeking the answers.

As we have delved deeper into our investigation of the series of attacks launched against us personally, and our work and our discussion/research group, the reality of continuing COINTELPRO-type attacks on progressive thinking became more and more evident. As we published these files, we received further information from other researchers that they, too, had been subjected to identical operations.

Ongoing domestic covert action is more than amply documented by The COINTELPRO Papers, Agents of Repression and War at Home. What we are discovering is that the targets are not limited to the opponents of U.S. political policies. Oh, no! They have developed COINTELPRO to an all new level of Social Shaping, Cultural Brainwashing, and this includes virtuallly anyone who is seeking the truth about the shifting realities of our world.

The cases of COINTELPRO activities agains political groups are no more than the tip of the iceberg, given that the great bulk of COINTELPRO – type operations remain secret until long after their damage has been done. By all indications, domestic covert operations have become a permanent feature of U.S. politics, and Social Programming.

The implications of this are truly alarming. Those who manage to get close to the truth of these matters, despite the many obstacles in their path, face country wide covert campaigns to discredit and disrupt their research and reputations.

Clearly, COINTELPRO and similar operations under other names work to distort academic and popular perceptions of the problems facing our world. They have done enormous damage to the search for the Truth.

These COINTELPRO operations are clearly formidable and dangerous. Yet, with networking, sharing of information, and exposure of the agents, such covert action is not insurmountable. Knowledge Protects.

“Terrorism is changing. New adversaries, new motivations and new rationales have surfaced in recent years to challenge much of the conventional wisdom…” Dr. Bruce Hoffman, Director of RAND, Washington

The only problem is, the reader is largely unaware of the definition of “new adversaries” that might be implied in his remarks. A careful reading of Richard Dolan’s book, will immediately reveal what Dr. Hoffman really meant in his remarks about “terrorism.”

Based on the documents assembled by Dolan, it is obvious that the governments of the world do indeed see the UFO problem as a very, very serious matter. In the course of assembling the documents and reporting the events, Dolan came to the inescapable conclusion that there exists an “Above Top Secret” group with access to all available UFO data, and that this group “straddled” the worlds of government, military, and industry. The evidence proves that the military created a complete fiction for public consumption designed to convince the masses that the UFO problem was “nonexistent.” They were assisted in pulling the wool over the eyes of the public by “heavy handed official media and culture,” and they were obviously under orders to consistently and repeatedly “debunk” the idea that aliens were ensconced in our world. What seems to be true is that most of our elected officials are as much victims of the debunking as anybody else. And the same is true about mainstream science. Dolan writes:

Next to the bureau, the military intelligence services became the most important component of the domestic intelligence scene. Army intelligence had nearly unlimited funds, extensive manpower, specialized personnel, deep planning and training resources, and the most sophisticated communications and data processing capability. [...] The army’s intelligence surveillance did not focus on tactical and reconnaissance data, but on political and ideological intelligence within the United States. (This was wholly illegal.) [...]

Then there was the CIA. By the late 1960s, there were more spies than diplomats in the State Department, or employees in the Department of Labor. [...] When the Weather Underground, a radical splinter of the SDS, had an “acid test” to detect agents provocateurs, they had no idea that the CIA had been tripping on LSD throughout the 1950s, creating a special caste of “enlightened agents” for precisely these occasions. [Based on this, we wonder about "agents provocateur" in the New Age and UFO community who are "specially trained?"]

The agency continued its work on mind control. Following the work of Dr. Jose Delgado [experiments in] Electrical Stimulation of the Brain [were conducted.] This involves implanting electrodes into the brain and body, with the result that the subject’s memory, impulses, and feelings could all be controlled. Moreover, ESB could evoke hallucinations, as well as fear and pleasure. “It could literally manipulate the human will at will,” [said Dr. Robert Keefe, a neurosurgeon at Tulane University.]

In 1968, George Estabrooks, another spook scientist, spoke indiscreetly to a reporter for the Providence Evening Bulletin. “The key to creating an effective spy or assassin, rests in creating a multiple personality with the aid of hypnosis,” a procedure which he described as “child’s play.”

By early 1969, teams within the CIA were running a number of bizarre experiments in mind control under the name Operation Often. In addition to the normal assortment of chemists, biologists, and conventional scientists, the operation employed psychics and experts in demonology.

Over at the NSA, all one can say with certainty is that its budget dwarfed all others within the intelligence community. [UFOs and the National Security State, Richard Dolan, Ph.D.]

Dolan documents how the intelligence organizations of the United States – and very likely other countries who are working in concert with them, though outwardly they may pretend to be oppositional – have conducted terminal mind-control experiments, biological spraying of American cities, human plutonium and syphilis injections, illegal communications interception, and nationwide domestic surveillance of private citizens, political assassinations and coups, ongoing media manipulation and outright public lying on a continual basis, most especially in regards to UFOs. The above organizations, via any and all means available, made sure that, to the public at large, UFOs and aliens were a “dead issue.”

Scientist and UFO disclosure advocate James McDonald said in 1969: “I am enough of a realist to sense that, unless this AAAS symposium succeeds in making the scientific community aware of the seriousness of the UFO problem, little response to any call for new investigations is likely to appear.” McDonald presented a brilliant paper entitled “Science in Default: Twenty-two Years of Inadequate UFO Investigations.” Dolan comments that it was “perhaps the most damning statement about UFO research ever made.” Speaking before the convention at Boston’s Sheraton Plaza Hotel, McDonald came down hard on everyone: Condon, Menzel, Hynek, and finally the scientific establishment itself. He said:

No scientifically adequate investigation of the UFO problem has been carried out during the entire twenty-two years that have now passed since the first extensive wave of sightings of unidentified aerial objects in the summer of 1947. …In my opinion, the UFO problem, far from being the nonsense problem that it has often been labeled by many scientists, constitutes a problem of extraordinary scientific interest. The grave difficulty with essentially all past UFO studies had been that they were either devoid of any substantial scientific content, or else have lost their way amidst the relatively large noise content that tends to obscure the real signal in the UFO reports. [Quoted by Dolan]

This high noise to signal ratio is, based on the evidence, the direct product of the frenzied activities of the “National Security State” in their promulgation of the New Age/Human Potential smoke and mirrors magic show. What is also clearly evident is that this noise is the fundament of the prevailing scientific doctrine. What we see is that the Scientific Community – though they claim to be seekers of advanced scientific truth – have been as easily duped as Joe Sixpack and Shirley Seeker of Truth. The former is interested in little more than his truck, his dog, and his weekend football game, while the latter is generally looking for a lifestyle of higher “experiences.” What I also suspect is that even the lower echelons of the intelligence and military organizations must be included in this rather large grouping of the duped and deceived sheep.

An example of this duping of those investigating the matter from the “bottom up,” is Andrew Tully who wrote The Super Spies, supposedly an early report on the NSA. He, and many who have followed him, suggest that the UFO is an “intelligence” device and that it evolved out of Nazi Secrets brought to the US under Project Paperclip.

Dolan lays out the evidence and disabuses us of the notion that the UFO activity could be human, technological breakthroughs as such naive conspiracy theorists propose. As he says, “all of the indicators point to a definitive NO.” He then points out that, every single person who actually studies the UFO problem [yours truly included - who began as a flaming skeptic] – becomes convinced that it IS a problem of Alien invasion of our planet. Every official study of UFOs persuaded the researchers that aliens were the explanation for the data. But that data has been denied, and when denial no longer worked, it was obscured by the noise, the smoke and mirrors that prevail today in UFO research and the New Age and Human Potential movements. Do we think that this is coincidence?

Another evident production of “noise” is the nonsense that passes today as “channeling” or “alien contacts”. Indeed, our own work involves channeled material, but as we have noted repeatedly, it is not your usual channeled info, nor do we treat it as such. For us, a controlled channeling experiment is the 10% inspiration that must be matched by the 90% perspiration of real research. With a broad historical awareness of the facts, a firm grounding in the realization that most of what is out there is deliberate disinformation, the individual who surveys the plethora of “alternative information” in books and on the internet, can easily recognize the “noise” factor produced by the Secret State. Dolan tells us:

By the early 1970s, there were already means available to alter the moods of unsuspecting persons. A pocket-sized transmitter generating electromagnetic energy at less than 100 milliwatts could do the job. This is no pie-in-the-sky theory. In 1972, Dr. Gordon J.F. McDonald testified before the House Subcommittee on Oceans and International Environment on the issue of electromagnetic weapons used for mind control and mental disruption. He stated:

[T]he basic notion was to create, between the electrically charged ionosphere in the higher part of the atmosphere and conducting layers of the surface of the Earth, this neutral cavity, to create waves, electrical waves that would be tuned to the brain waves. …About ten cycles per second. …You can produce changes in behavioral patterns or in responses.

The following year, Dr. Joseph C. Sharp, at Walter Reed Hospital, while in a soundproof room, was able to hear spoken words broadcast by ‘pulsed microwave audiogram.’ These words were broadcast to him without any implanted electronic translation device. Rather, they reached him by direct transmission to the brain. [Dolan]

Consider the above in terms of “chemtrails.” And note the comments of our own channeled material regarding the above- not from “aliens,” but rather from “us in the future.”

Q: (L) But, the fact still remains, in my opinion, that there are a LOT, LOT, LOT of planes flying above us in the past few years! Whether they are dumping anything on our heads, or what, there are an extreme number of planes flying in these upper level criss-cross patterns. Now, whether they are just playing war-games, or they are spy planes, they are doing SOMETHING! What is the reason for all of this upper level flying that results in these criss-crossed contrails that everybody is seeing?
A: A lot of it is “training maneuver” oriented.

Q: Why are they training so many pilots? What are they preparing for?
A: Military budgets must be justified, you know. Review “Military-Industrial Complex 101.”

Q: So, this is just training flight, justification of budget, and nothing more than that?
A: Well, we would not say “not anything more to it than that,” but, when you say “M-IC,” you have said a lot!

Q: Are you implying that there is a build-up of the Military-Industrial Complex for a reason?
A: To preserve status quo during “peacetime.” This peace business is not very profitable, you know.

Q: Does that suggest that they are building up to set off a war so they can make more money?
A: Maybe if indeed, and if the populace can be hoodwinked. But, fortunately, the public is less hoodwinkable. Maybe the real enemy is “out there, ” rather than “over there.” Was it not always?

Q: Does any of this increased aircraft activity have anything to do with the increased awareness and activities of aliens in and around our planet?
A: As always. But, this awareness is factionalized and compartmentalized.

The C’s comments take on a whole new meaning in light of the present situation – 9-11 and all that – as well as Bush’s drive for “war.” We also note the most interesting remark that “awareness of the activities of aliens in and around our planet” is “factionalized and compartmentalized.” And this is where we come to the COINTELPRO function of creating bogus organizations to attack or disrupt bona fide groups.

We have already noted the fact that research in Electrical Stimulation of the brain could produce hallucinations. If you put hallucinations together with words, you can produce just about anything in the way of “noise” to obscure the truth that you want – including the “shape-shifting reptoids-as-humans,” or a “gray dude in the bathroom,” or a “Guardian Alliance,” or a “Nibiruan Council,” or an “Ashtar Command,” or talking whales and dolphins, etc. You name it – they can produce it via voices in the head and hallucinations and transmissions of frequencies that produce ecstatic states, healings, or whatever. And so it is that the human element of the Cosmic COINTELPRO operation manages their many “agents” of disinformation – pied pipers leading the masses of New Age seekers – so that whatever the real truth is, remains their secret. And that’s exactly the way they want it.

Notice the dates in the above quote from Dolan’s book telling us that in the early 70s certain technologies were being developed that could “broadcast” signals over the entire nation. We certainly suspect that this technology was developed further in the subsequent years. The question is: what did they do with it?

What strikes me as an essential turning point in this COINTELPRO operation was the beginning of the “expose” of two particular items that hold sway in certain “conspiracy” circles to this very day: Alien Abduction and Satanic Ritual Abuse.

The Gray alien scenario was “leaked” by Budd Hopkins. Whitley Strieber’s alien abduction books, including Communion followed a few years after . Prior to the publication of these books, the ubiquitous “Gray aliens” had never been seen before. In fact, a review of the history of “contact” cases show that the type and variety and behavior of “aliens” around the world is quite different across the board. But, along came Budd, followed by Whitley and his glaring alien on the cover, and suddenly the Grays were everywhere.

In respect of Whitley and his Grays, allow me to emphasize one of Dolan’s comments quoted above: “By early 1969, teams within the CIA were running a number of bizarre experiments in mind control under the name Operation Often. In addition to the normal assortment of chemists, biologists, and conventional scientists, the operation employed psychics and experts in demonology.” This, of course, brings us to the parallel event of that period of time: Satanic ritual abuse. SRA is the name given to the allegedly systematic abuse of children by Satanists.

As it happens, keeping our timeline in mind, it was in the mid to late 1970s that the allegations of the existence of a “well-organized intergenerational satanic cult whose members sexually molest, torture and murder children across the United States” began to emerge in America. There was a panic regarding SRA triggered by a fictional book called Michelle Remembers. The book was published as fact but has subsequently been shown to be a hoax by at least three independent investigators. No hard evidence of Satanic Ritual Abuse in North America has ever been found just as no hard evidence of abductions by Gray aliens has ever been found. Nevertheless, the allegations were widely publicized on radio and television talk shows, including Geraldo Rivera’s show.

Religious fundamentalists promoted the hysteria and, just as during the Inquisitions, endless self-proclaimed “moral entrepreneurs” both fed the fires of prosecution and earned a good living from it. Most of the early accusations of satanic/ritual abuse were aimed at working-class people with limited resources, and with a few exceptions, the media and other groups that are ordinarily skeptical either remained silent or joined in the feeding frenzy of accusations. The few professionals who spoke out against the hysteria were systematically attacked and discredited by government agencies and private organizations.

The question has to be asked: If there are thousands of baseless accusations of SRA and thousands upon thousands of cases of unverifiable alien abductions, how do they originate?

Most of the SRA cases are said to originate with children. Since there is a widespread belief that children wouldn’t make up stories of eating other children or being forced to have sex with giraffes after flying in an airplane while they were supposed to be in day care, the stories are often taken at face value by naive prosecutors, therapists, police officers and parents. Researchers have found that children are unlikely to invent stories of satanic ritual abuse on their own. So, where do the stories come from?

Accusing the therapists, district attorneys, police and parents of inducing such stories from children doesn’t seem to be a very productive answer. Yes, it may happen in some cases, but certainly doesn’t seem likely in the vast number of cases.

Now, let’s go back and think about our timeline. As it happens, Michelle Remembers was published in 1980, co-written by Michelle Smith and Lawrence Pazder, M.D. Budd Hopkins finished “Missing Time” in December of 1980, with an “afterward” by Aphrodite Clamar, Ph.D.

It’s looking pretty “coincidental” from where I sit.

What is occurs to me – putting the pieces of the puzzle together – is that there is some general kind of imagery being widely broadcast in the “neutral cavity” described above, and that it depends a lot on the individual and their cultural programming how it “takes.” When we consider the fact that Operation Often employed “the normal assortment of chemists, biologists, and conventional scientists AND “psychics and experts in demonology,” we begin to think that electronic COINTELPRO includes a whole supermarket of new “beliefs” – Gray aliens and “alien contacts” for the New Age crowd and a whole range of “sexual/ritual abuse” scenarios” for those who are NOT open to the alien shtick.

Is the whole thing beamed out as some sort of “free-formal imaging,” and based on the conscious acceptance of one or another version, it takes on its individual characteristics? In other words, is it picked up by the subconscious in alpha states or in sleep, perceived as traumatic in a general scenario that can then be interpreted by the individual belief systems in terms of either being examined and or sexually manipulated by aliens on a table or “raped on an altar” by Satanists? Are the public productions – books by Hopkins, Strieber, and the SRA scandals, just the closing of the circuit by the conscious mind accepting some scenario as the explanation for the constant bombardment of such signs as described in Dolan’s book? Is it the job of COINTELPRO to create “bogus organizations” that produce various “explanations” to close the circuit and “make it real” in the person’s mind?

One has to wonder about the name of the program: Operation Often in terms of the claims of abductees – victims of repeated and “often” abductions – as well as the claims of those who suggest the SRA explanation. In either case, the believer is being “herded” into a “response camp” of either faith in alien saviors, or faith in Jesus to save from the demonic/satanic Illuminati, Jews, Pagans – take your pick.

Let me make it clear that I am in no way suggesting that “abductions” or some whacked out Satanic rituals do not take place somewhere, under some circumstances. What I am suggesting is that the Gray Alien and SRA phenomenon most certainly was not restricted in any way by COINTELPRO, and may indeed be the smoke and mirrors that hides a far more insidious state of affairs.

In essence, Dolan’s book shows us the history of how the many levels of society have been duped and deceived – or directly controlled – from the average citizen, to the seeker of higher truths, to the scions of science and industry, to the, hallowed halls of government. Each “type” has been targeted in the way most likely to “manage” them best. Those who cannot be “managed” generally die, as scientist James McDonald – and others – did. But all the while, the UFOs kept coming, and people kept seeing them, and they kept asking questions.

McDonald had been described as a man who was “afraid of nothing.” What seems to be so is that this was why he was destroyed. Hynek had written that McDonald was considered by the Air Force to be an “outstanding nuisance.”

With the mind control arsenal that has been described at their disposal, we have a good idea of what “they” can do to the mind. Even the strongest. Courage and integrity, it seems, are no protection. We would like to note another curious death – that of Edward Ruppelt. After years as an advocate of disclosure, he suddenly did an about face – re-wrote his book recanting his belief that UFOs were extraterrestrial craft, and was dead within a year at a very young age. It looks to me as though, if they can’t corrupt you, they kill you, and if they CAN corrupt you, they still kill you so you won’t have a chance to change your mind and recant your recantation like Jacques de Molay did when the Templars were destroyed. Those who get close to the belly of the beast are generally subjected to a new “approach” it seems. And that approach is the biggest betrayal of all.

Many important and influential people have attested to the reality of the UFO phenomenon as an “alien reality.” Within the military organizations, those who affirm the “alien hypothesis” are widespread and numerous. But, as Dolan shows us, they cannot discuss those views without risking the penalties of imprisonment and stiff fines.

In the present day, we have Steven Greer’s “Disclosure Project.” Based on the mail I get, it seems that many in the New Age/UFO community think that this is a great and novel idea. However, history shows that it has been tried before. The one thing about Greer’s effort that suggests it is just more and better COINTELPRO, is his attachment to the “aliens are here to help us” idea which is directly contradicted by history, though widely promoted by most “contactees.” Even Linda Howe, for a long time the most reputable of careful researchers – and no stranger to the machinations of the Secret State – seems to have fallen for this one – or COINTELPRO. It is also now being promoted in Fate Magazine by Rosemary Guiley, who has the odor of COINTELPRO about her with her notable connections to military “agents.” Jerome Clark, a practiced “debunker” is also a regular contributor to Fate.

Dolan documents the failure of civilian groups in their efforts to really “end UFO secrecy.” NICAP had prominent and active members, connections to Congress and the military, and their effort continued for over ten years. NICAP fought diligently for congressional hearings, and yet every time they got “close” to bringing it to the table for public consideration, the congressional sponsorship “backed off” and reversed their support.

What kind of group is it that can control our government officials in this way? An even deeper question might be: What kind of group is it that can control the media, the military, the CIA, the FBI, NSA, and even the President? What do they do to intimidate and dominate ethical and substantial persons in positions of authority? Whatever it is, we would certainly like to know because it suggests that they are hiding something so significant that even hints of it behind closed doors can send the most powerful congressmen running with their tails tucked between their legs.

And whatever it is, it seems that we, here at Cassiopaea, must be stepping on some tender toes to have so dedicated a group of COINTELPRO agents hounding us and calling a scientific approach to the mysteries of our world a “Cult.”


The same names keep popping up over and over again in under the table connections of money, drugs, sex, kids, and psychological manipulation…

At the present time, there are “agitators” and “disinformation artists” and promoters of certain ideas, all of which are designed to create a certain mindset among the public, most especially the wide-open market of the New Age public, so that everything that occurs on the world stage will be interpreted according to this mindset. These are loose “cults” with no direct or evident “leader,” though once an investigation into the matter is undertaken, the same names keep popping up over and over again, and we have many questions as to who is really behind it all.

Many of the key ideas these folks are promoting are those of the Philadelphia Experiment, the Montauk Experiments, Satanic Ritual Abuse, Sacred Geometry, New Physics, and on and on. Is this the new “cover” for COINTELPRO?

Cassiopaea does, indeed, have much to say about these matters, even in the sense of seeing them as some sort of secret activity, but our perspective is QUITE different from that which is generally being promoted and has been explored in some detail in the Wave Series , and this series will be completed when and if we stop having to spend all our time defending against libel, slander, defamation, threatened lawsuits, and the widescale promotion by these COINTELPRO agents of the idea that we are a Cult. Regarding this planned, deliberate, and ongoing series of assaults (most of which we do not discuss on the site, but we will chronicle it in detail at some point), a member of our Discussion Group notes:

We live in a world where many believe it is their right to impose their control onto others whether it is right or wrong. People are expressions of their governments and so if people are controlled they too seek to control. Therefore all that ‘breaches’ what can be deemed the boundaries of control will be targeted as dissidents by ‘all’.

By ‘all’ I mean that there are three types of people in this world – the controlleres, the controlled and the free.

In a world governed by control, the free are not idolised but are targeted as they are a risk to the ‘system’. Targeted firstly by the controllers and then by the controlled. So freedom being the ‘enemy’ of the state, all that embroiders freedom is attacked and ‘dealt with’. Free speach, has been contaminated with political correctness, etc. So to talk freely a perimeter must be set up to ensure that the ‘system’ cannot enter and contaminate the group with it’s own repressive idealogies.

Now, just to let you know a little bit about what we are discovering, let us just say that there are links between many so-called “New Age” groups and drugs, gun trafficking, pedophilia, and a host of unsavory and perverted activities, all of which may be connected to a broad and expanding spider web of psychological and spiritual terrorism being currently utilized to exploit a rich market of New Age seekers who are seen as just a herd of sheep ready for the shearing. Schools, workshops, seminars, conferences, “workings” and just a whole host of fun activities are utilized to part the individual from his money, his sanity, his free will, and in some cases, even his life.

Following the events of the bombing of the Federal Building in Oklahoma City in March of 1995, and the Heaven’s Gate massacre, not to mention the mass suicides of Jonestown and the Solar Cult in Europe, there exists a very real fear of Cults, and with good reason.

The only problem is, the REAL cults are sending out “disinformation artists and deceivers” who play on the vulnerabilities of Seekers of Spiritual Paths. The question is: are these cults really just cover for COINTELPRO operations?

Beliefs in the “End of the World,” the coming of the “New Jerusalem,” the boom of the Gloom and Doom market has produced rich psychological ground for the planting of the seeds of the general expectation for the return of SOMETHING, and thus, the need to PREPARE. And they are all ready to sell you the right technique, the right workshop, the right school course, the right rituals and accoutrements, to make sure that YOU are among the CHOSEN.

It’s one thing for a group to believe this, it is quite another for them to seek to deceptively convert others to their ideas, and to insist that if the others do not bow to their wishes, that they will destroy them by accusing them of being a “cult,” or of the very activities of which they, themselves are guilty.

Is the COINTELPRO objective to discredit or just embarrass the honest researchers, or legitimate mystics? Or, does it go deeper? Do they wish to produce effects among some of these groups so as to make any such activity seen to be dangerous and therefore worthy of being legislated agains?

Cassiopaea has a somewhat different view.

Indeed, we see vast changes in our future, but our perspective is that self-development in a natural way, in a normal environment is, and has always been, the only preparation needed for anything. As we have noted on this website:

We are of the mind that politics and religion and in general all widely promulgated ‘truth’ is heavily laced with manipulation and disinformation. We further think that this is so in order to keep mankind ignorant and controllable and engaged in perpetual internal conflict.

This statement of what we perceive to be our reality, backed up by much research and fact, is followed by our statement of what we see as the thing to DO about it:

We believe in enabling people to think and decide freely to the extent such freedon is at all possible in this world. We believe a broad informational base is a prerequisite of exercising what freedom of mind may be humanly attainable and providing such information and analysis to the interested is what we consider our service.

We are not in the business of converting people and do not believe in a one-size-fits-all solution or dogma to the concerning the challenges of our time. The spiritual evolution of man may only proceed individual by individual and do so at the individual’s choosing. In this sense we indeed believe in a personal choice which our times demand of us and we see the choice as being between expanding knowledge on one side and settling into a fixed pattern of control on the other.

And that is the full extent of what we think and do and believe.

Indeed, we present channeled material. But we make it very clear that channeled material is only as good as the research that goes into discovering its validity and possible applications! And we are most definitely NOT into predicting anything that is not based on scientific research and speculation.

However, in recent years, we have been subjected to the determined and repeated efforts of obvious COINTELPRO agents, who have made efforts to invade our lives, to gain control of our work, to damage us financially, and a possible agent was even sent to our home, in the guise of a sincere seeker and friend, to destroy a tape and steal papers.

The main rant of these COINTELPRO agents is that we are a “cult” with “political objectives,” which is so nonsensical that it almost does not deserve response except for the fact that it is being spread far and wide. This is a serious issue. How many people will simply not read our material at all if they are conditioned to think, automatically, that we are a Cult? By being manipulated to think this, they are being dominated, and their free will is denied them. While we have no interest in preaching, we do have an interest in being available to any seeker without the pre-formed opinion that we are a Cult!

What is a CULT?

The line between CULT and religion is a very hotly debated topic, so getting a hard and fast definition to fit is difficult at best. But, the major indication of a CULT is that it employs INFLUENCE TECHNIQUES and DECEPTION.

According to Kelton Rhoads, a writer who specializes in cults which exploit the more unsavory of influence techniques, the number of destructive cults alone currently functioning in the US is 3000 with total membership of around 4 million.

Now, the discussion group at Cassiopaea has been accused of being a cult.

Why?

Because we ejected individuals from the discussion who were discovered to be using INFLUENCING TECHNIQUES and DECEPTION. Once they were ejected, they began to us Psychological Terrorism including threats of lawsuits, defamation, and even implications of direct harm. We have responded to these threats with a clear statement of what these individuals attempted and failed to do with our large and active discussion group.

WHY do we insist on the privacy of our discussion group? IS IT A CULT?

Well, some people think that a cult is based on a “hermetically sealed community tied to a single leader.”

As it happens, even that does not apply at Cassiopaea.

What we are conducting is an Internet School, and we have the right to maintain order in the classroom.

We have a right to eject those who are not there to learn, and those who are bullies and cheaters.

As noted above, we believe in enabling people to think and decide freely and this necessitates a broad informational base as a prerequisite for exercising what freedom of mind may be humanly attainable. We further believe in researching, as a group activity, and sharing such information and analysis to those who ask. Anyone who enters this environment and is discovered to be using scare tactics, information that does not check out factually, who lies and misrepresents themselves, or is caught violating the privacy of the group, is EJECTED.

That’s it.

Has nothing to do with any or all of the members following anybody or any belief system. It has strictly to do with interacting with people who are TRUSTWORTHY by DEMONSTRATION, so that when any member reveals personal information within the group, we can be confident that it will not be used against them in some kind of psychological or spiritual terrorism.

Rather than having a “religious confessor/leader who is the only one privy to all secrets, we have created a different idea for our group discussions. Yes, indeed, there are those who are the “hosts, guardians of the privacy and decorum,” but all the interaction within the group is on an equal footing between members. And the main thing we wish to protect against is individuals who are deceitful, who have a hidden agenda, or who use manipulative tactics.

Of course, because the group is closed, many people see that as a “cult” type thing. And that can certainly be a characteristic of cults in general, but that is only when a hierarchy is involved.

We have no hierarchy. We don’t want one.

But since such a thing as we are doing has never been done before, those who are accustomed to hierarchies don’t understand it.

And then, of course, because it’s closed, because they have been excluded, because they have proven untrustworthy either in terms of deception or agendas, they have to validate themselves by destroying what does not permit them to run their agendas. Because of our wish to protect the “confessional privacy,” they think that means we are a bunch of “true believers.” They think that we think that everyone out there is “us or them,” and that is not our issue.

Our issue is “confessional privacy” and that excludes people who have a record of lying and manipulation. Let the members of the group speak on this one:

A Member Speaks

Well, it seems that people often post some very personal stuff here, because they know they can trust the group — perhaps somewhat equivalent to speaking with your doctor or a psychologist. Many things that we share in the interests of health/wellbeing (mental, spiritual, or physical) aren’t necessarily things that we want anyone to have access to (especially when there *are* people who will use whatever they can to hurt us in our progress).

From a New Member (2 days!)

Since I’m new to the group, I can perhaps offer a bit of an objective opinion about some of the charges Most levels against this list.

I’ve never been a member of any kind of church, nor have I ever subscribed to any one particular belief. I don’t belong to any kind of discussion group like this (certainly not this “M” list–I don’t even know what it is!). Believe me when I say that if I felt this group had any sort of cultish leanings, I’d be outta here like a shot.

To me, just from the postings I’ve gotten yesterday and today, coupled with reading over some of the past couple of months’ archived posts, you all seem anything *but* a cult. (Either that, or you’re a really, really inept cult!–kidding.)

Mostly what I sense is caring and respect for one another. Someone apparently recently had a bit of a tiff with other members, but today he is warmly welcomed back. Somehow I doubt that would happen on a true cult’s list.

I was interested to see what you all had written around 9/11, so I looked; it seemed most of the posts expressed concern for listmembers involved directly or indirectly, along with a healthy dose of skepticism about mainstream news coverage. Seems like a true cult would have been calling for members to head for the bunkers or worse.

Nobody on the list seems interested in forcing a particular belief pattern on anyone–if anything, the group seems more interested in questioning belief patterns. Again, not consonant with what I know about cults.

I really don’t think a PayPal “tip jar” kind of arrangement is equal to demanding members’ life savings, as you often see with cults.

Clearly, the “leaders” (if you really want to call them that) of this group, Laura and Ark, are quite accessible and in no way domineering in the discussions. People seem to look to them for their wisdom and experience, but I haven’t sensed any sort of, well, untoward devotion to either of them.

I’ve seen mostly serious discussion, but members do seem to have a sense of humor.

Count by count, Mr. Most’ accusations don’t stand up to examination.

For me, this episode has been an exercise in critical thinking…I’m just sorry it has been so emotionally trying for those of you personally involved.

Words from Still Another Member

I was raised in a Christian sect that believed that it was the one and only true church, that all others would be condemned. There were just a set of things one had to do and you were in on the salvation department. Any questioning of this church’s beliefs was considered blasphemy. Their version of God would broker no dissent. It collected a lot of people who were anxiety ridden and fearful of not being accepted. It made them feel good to be on the inside, to have the scoop on everyone else.

After that experience I want to question everything. Every single one of my assumptions must be examined. This is an enormous task. I would do it on my own if I had to. After joining the C group I discovered that there are people willing to do just that, on an every day basis.

There is no “must have” belief system, or giving everything over to a higher power, and waiting around for results. No calling upon the elements or mysterious ophanic intelligences to come down and open windows in the sky without really knowing what is on the other side.

The C group just shares our questions, research, and personal observations. Some have joined with an idea that was a part of their identity. To take that idea apart, to question it, to disparage it any way, was perceived as an attack on them. A few have joined with the concept of hijacking the group to their agenda. Sort of like joining a group that exchanges apple pie recipes and demanding they start exchanging curry recipes.

When there is a goal to question everything and to assume nothing it is necessary for everyone to be in agreement on that one point . Everything else is open for discussion.

Another Member Writes

This group is no cult.

All are free to come and go where members are asked to provide nothing except respect and privacy.

Privacy is often necessary as part of a learning process for a variety of reasons that include limiting distractions, setbacks, waste of time in repetition, unnecessary hestitation and uncertainty, etc. Respecting privacy is also a simple test of character.

When people are trying to recover from cult-like programming (instilled false-beliefs, wishful thinking, repetitious programmatic behavior, etc.) the last thing they need are still more cult- minded people hanging arou nd trying to confound thought processes. It’s hard work trying to sort out complex ideas, especially when those ideas are the very basis of how we think from second to second. So respect, privacy, and patience are ne cessary in order for real knowledge to become recoverable.

Privacy is about respect of request. The ability to respect privacy is the ability to resist malicious action, it’s about the ability to comprehend and offer sanctity of life itself. It’s about being able to live and let live without a wish to intervene.

It’s important to maintain privacy of the group because change is often very scary–it leaves a person feeling alone, naked, and vulnerable. People who don’t respect privacy, for all intents and purposes, feed happily off the emotions of those who wish to have their privacy respected. People who violate privacy are for all intents and purposes are predators.

That’s what I think.

A Long Time Member Writes

I greatly appreciate privacy for this list or else posters would stop by for a bit, post a few flaming messages and then be gone which all requires time and energy for those seriously trying to follow most posts.

This group’s discussions are on-going and require a basic set of pre-read material before jumping in. We have focus here and that can easily be messed with by those who have not read the basic material.

There’s no flaming, no disrespect, and no constant rehashing of material. None of this would be possible without privacy. Such cohesion is indeed rare on public lists.

Comments from an International Member

As I see it , the main idea of this group is research – the understanding of the matrix mechanism . In this case many aspects of this research are based on our own experiences those we will be able to share only in a trustful environment .

In my opinion there is no base in such claim that we are some kind of cult because in the cult there is no such thing as a free will or respect to others or their opinions. And the fact that one of the most important group rules is to respect other believes and opinions already refutes the “cult” theory.

All the people in this group decided to be here because they wish to learn to understand the infinite layers of our reality And it’s an enormous and very hard work . Most of the people don’t like to work hard and looking for a shortcuts or in the worst case looking to destroy or sabotage . There were several people that tried this tactic in our group . It didn’t work and they were throw out of this group .

Now I understand the anger and frustration of those people that couldn’t complete their task if they had any agenda at all. (which is obvious that they had). They didn’t have any success from the inside so in hopeless attempt they will try anything from the outside including this ridiculous claim as us being a cult . Any intelligent and reasonable person can join this group and see for himself . There is no secrets in this group, only the secrets we are still working to uncover .

A Long Time Working Member Speaks

Another very important and integral aspect for exercising what to some malcontents and others is an “unwanted control,” is the atmosphere of decorum. None of us who choose to be here are here to inflate our ego. Most of us strive very diligently to “leave that at the door” because it hampers and distracts from our purpose of being here. That purpose is to gain a knowledge that we can convert to an awareness within our individual being.

This is a process that involves an immense amount of diligence and perserverence and that simply cannot be accomplished in an atmosphere which does not reflect the goals of the participants within this group.

Discussions? Yes, we have discussions – very serious ones. That is part and parcel of the process here. Debates? No we do not have debates for the most part. A good debater is capable of taking either side of an issue, hence winning a debate has nothing to do with right/wrong, correct/incorrect, helpful/not helpful; the only thing winning a debate is about is ego. As we are all in this together, there is no room here for ego. There are no winners and losers here, either we all come out winners, or we all end up as losers.

Unfortunately, this is a position a few are not developed enough to grasp, understand or participate in. We wish them well. They are free to do as they please in a different venue, but we cannot tolerate, nor should we be obligated to tolerate their disruption. Tearing down the sacred cows of illusion is difficult enough, to attempt to do this in an advesarial or carnival-like atmosphere is folly.

Another Long Time Member Says

Why do we insist on the privacy of this group? Because it creates an atmosphere of family and safety. Freedom to discuss and learn without restraints. Yes, tha’ts right, by creating a closed area we allow each other the freedom of honesty and comfort in our research without fear of sabotage.

Is it a cult? LOL, Hell no! I have the freedom to leave this group at any time I wish without fear of being damned. There are no requirements of monetary commitment to Ark and Laura. And I am free to disagree, believe and to discover what I myself see as truth. I have freedom to choose what I read and what I contribute to.


Returning now to our COINTELPRO problem, as we have dug deeper into these matters, we have found many, many VERY strange connections… a vast and spreading network of predators upon the New Age community with links to the underworld of REAL terrorism COINTELPRO terrorism. We don’t know how deep it will go, or where it will end. But we are committed to pursuing every thread, every clue that the readers send us.

From what we have seen so far, the exposure of a COINTELPRO operation being perpetrated on the New Age community is, in our opinion, a worthwhile expenditure of time and money. We hope you agree.

Is Truth Defamatory?

It has come to our attention here at QFG that Vincent Bridges, the subject of an investigative article on this site, in true psychopathic fashion, has announced his intention to sue Perseus Foundation which is totally uninvolved with this research. The research was conducted by a loose group of individuals who banded together to form the Quantum Future School. Actually, his implied intentions are to sue Laura, specifically, assuming and declaring (erroneously, as it happens), that she is the one who did all the research and wrote the article.

In his remarks, Mr. Bridges states, again erroneously, that he can sue for “defamation” because “in defamation actions, the truth or falsehood of the defamation is not the issue.”

As it happens, defamation is a legal term that is the “set” of which libel and slander are the subset. In order for something to be proved defamatory, it must be proven that it is either libel or slander FIRST. And to prove that it is libel or slander, one must first prove that it is untrue.

WHAT IS NOT DEFAMATION The following is where defamation does not occur:

Opinions, properly worded and identified as such, are not defamatory. It’s called “Free Speech.”
Statements that lack any of the three required elements: 1) they are true 2) they are not communicated to a third person 3) they do not damage character or reputation.

In other words, whether a statement is TRUE or NOT is the very crux of defamation. In other words, the court will FIRST inquire as to whether the statement itself is sufficiently factual to be susceptible of being proved true or false. See Partington v. Bugliosi, 56 F.3d 1147, 1153 (9th Cir.’94) (applying three-factor test as the starting point for analysis); Unelko Corp. v. Rooney, 912 F.2d 1049, 1053 (9th Cir.’90), cert. denied, 499 U.S. 961 (1991).

We have offered a free venue for Mr. Bridges to post his bona fides. We have acted in good faith and with due diligence. The simplest response would be for him to provide evidence that his many claims are true and that those who have refuted them are lying. And, as we noted, we double checked, and provided each of them with Mr. Bridges full statement so that they would be responding solely to Mr. Bridges’ own claims rather than any presentation of facts in a “biased and skewed manner,” as Mr. Bridges has claimed.

Mr. Bridges complains that we “did NOT do a very good job of researching my past, they did a very selective one with a specific result in mind.”

We would like to ask: how can it be selective if each of his claims was addressed on the premise that it was true, and it was his own words we used in the requests for information? Is Mr. Bridges saying that his words were “selective and had a specific result in mind?”

Further, in his claim that we have spent the past few weeks “tracking and confusing people into saying they never heard of me,” Mr. Bridges insults the intelligence of Professors, Editors, Doctors and other professionals. We repeat: at all times a full account was sent to all parties of Mr. Bridges’ total life story and claims. There was no confusion whatsoever. Everything was and is crystal clear – except to Mr. Bridges, who still hasn’t understood that his own statements are, and continue to be, true libel and defamation.

Rather than directly addressing the issue, or producing his proofs, Mr. Bridges has claimed that there are “several pending lawsuits” against Ark and Laura for “breach of contract on Noah, the liability suit on the conference and arising from that the defamation of character action.” [NOTE: None of this has ever materialized].

We should like to point out that, first of all, there was never any contract with Mr. Bridges regarding any publishing, nor was there any finalized agreement about his conference. He has claimed a “verbal agreement.” This verbal agreement was tentative, and was based on certain condtions being met, and Mr. Bridges failed to meet those conditions. We obtained legal counsel and were instructed to set a date for compliance. Mr. Bridges was notified in writing, Mr. Bridges defaulted, thereby ending any “contractural agreement” of any kind by his own actions – or rather, failure to act. And since, we are discussing legalities, according to the agreement, the conference was only agreed upon as a venue to introduce published matter. That “verbal agreement” also ended with the default of the book publishing agreement by Mr. Bridges himself. We invite him to spend his great wealth on frivolous lawsuits as it will give us the perfect venue to establish many things in a legal setting. In fact, we might even produce a “class action” response. So far as we can see, only his close associates ever end up being sued, and Mr. Bridges always manages to remain on the sidelines. Anyone who is a close associate ought to look carefully to what they are “motivated” to say or do on Mr. Bridges behalf.

As it happens, we are aware of a deposition, a sworn legal statement of evidence of “extreme bad faith, misdirection, and willful, vicious fraud and disparagement” on the part of Mr. Bridges in his dealings with others.

For example: Mr. Bridges, taking up a “ready made” accusation against us that we are “paranoid and vindictive” in the publication of the article about his references, seems to have forgotten the following items regarding the copyrighted Cassiopaean material which Mr.”Vincent Bridges” was apparently sharing illegally after we had informed him that he was requested to return our CD of unpublished material. Any permission he may have inferred (because such permission was NOT given, and was specifically denied) to publish our unpublished material, by his possession of same was denied, revoked, officially cancelled, etc. Nevertheless, there is sufficient cause to believe that he conspired with others to act illegally against us and the Berne Copyright Convention. More than that, there is sufficient evidence of a conspiracy to violate privacy, to defame, to libel, to slander, that it will be of great value to get all parties in court, under oath, regarding these matters. We have already received the documents from Yahoo’s legal department, signing of which will put in motion their tracking and investigation of messages and sources.

L’ark, could people be circulating and downloading all of those as you speak? Or could you have been smart enough to copy-protect that CD? Could this all be a joke?):


Dr. Burns may like to answer those questions under oath. We do hope that Mr. Bridges provides that opportunity at his expense. To bring suit for defamation of character the plaintiff in this case at least, must be willing to permit his life to be revealed as an open book.

So, as he continues to claim that the Perseus Foundation is “presenting lies and innuendo as facts based upon fraudulent and misleading “research” … as it demonstrates malice and forethought in the creation of their defamatory libel. And that is just what they have done,” he continues the process of his own libel and defamation against us, because, as it happens, we can call the witnesses to prove it is false. We will also continue to forward his claims to those very witnesses whose intelligence he is insulting by claiming they were “confused” or “misled.”

The far more interesting result of our article about Mr. “Vincent Bridges” has been the communications we have received from others who have experienced the EXACT same thing. The general trend of the story is that an individual who is working to bridge the gap betwen science and mysticism, and to draw rational and realistic attention to the Matrix manipulations is targeted and they receive communication from someone who then goes on to con them into thinking they are friends. The use of friendship and emotional triggers to forestall due diligence is the first step.

The stories center around the obvious brilliance of the perpetrator, the intricate body of claims, which in due course are uncovered as pathological lying of the most extreme and unfathomable kind.

The targeted individual is taken in by seeming kindness and sheer brilliance. Correspondence ensues about those subjects that are dear to the heart of the researcher. Phone calls are soon being exchanged to further discuss the research. As one correspondent noted, these are some of the greatest conversations ever. Next, the personal visits begin and a building of a business relationship that ultimately leads to contracts and choices by the target that lead them to quit high-paying jobs and making arrangements to become even more involved in the life of the perpetrator.

The next part of the manipulation is to “wind up” the target by making them believe that the association is causing the perpetrator to “catch a lot of ‘heat’ from spooky agencies as well as ‘magickal’ groups. They describe being stalked, having their computers hacked, suffering all kinds of attacks because they are acting for “the good of mankind,” even if in their dark past, they did get close to the pit. Naturally, they were appalled by their “close call,” and that is why they are so knowledgable about such things, even if they have decided to use their knowledge “for the good!”

However, as our own experience shows, and is now confirmed by the identical experience of others, the moment the target resists, the stalker “snaps” and behaves like a “dog with rabies,” as it was charmingly put. They turn on the target and become incredibly cruel and vicious, falsely accusing the target “slander and playing sick games.” As it happens, in our own case as well as these other incidents, the stalker accuses the victim of essentially everything he/she is doing!

Now, the theory that is being proposed among those who have been victimized by this sort of scenario and who are now communicating, is this: (keep in mind that this is just a theory at the moment and that we are gathering more info daily) that there are “Stalkers” who are being used by the Matrix Control System to round up people who publicly discuss interdimensional physics and hyperdimensional realities. The theory continues that, once they have the people who are getting close to the truth in their “stable,” they are then programmed to self destruct in a distasteful way, so as to shed on all their associates the same kind of discredit and air of fraud that they, themselves, perpetrate, thereby tainting and making unsavory for free discussion the topic of interdimensional physics, hyperdimensional realities, and other Matrix busting ideas and technology.

If such a theory is viable, the the conclusion from all of this is that the Matrix Control System does NOT like what such discussions and revelations may accomplish, and the Matrix has no compunction about destroying people’s lives to stop it – even including the lives of their “agents.” The theory further posits that it seems that people who dabble in “magick,” in Wicca, in any kind of rituals, are particularly vulnerable to becoming hosts for these Matrix agents, whose function is to keep the awareness of multidimensional reality out of mass consciousness. They are unwitting G-men, programmed to take out people who want to bridge the gap between science and metaphysics by encouraging the kinds of discussions and explorations that we do.

Vincent Bridges AKA “Dr. Strange”: Psychotherapist? Or Hacker and Thief?

Vincent Bridges sez:

“[...] Dr. Margaret McCoy…turned me on to hypnosis, an old fascination, and I soon went from Ericsonian …”

“Dr. Joan Essic … because of our work together on hypnosis introduced me to Ericsonnian…”

“I studied with Milton Ericson years ago…”

So now, we turn to Mr. Bridges’ claims of being a therapist. He states:

“As for therapy and being a therapist, that started with three years of therapy with Dr. Margaret McCoy, a Transactional Analysis psychologist. [NOTE: Mr. Bridges seems to be the patient here, not the therapist. A good "school" for learning therapeutic jargon and techniques.] She turned me on to hypnosis, an old fascination, and I soon went from Ericsonian to NLP to holotropic breathwork and so on. I am a certified hypnotherapist in the state of North Carolina with my own “school” of therapeutic techniques and applications. I also hold certifications in TA and advanced NLP. I am one of the pioneers of psycho-acoustic brain entrainment trauma abreaction, having worked with both Tom Kenyon – I was one of Acoustic Brain Research’s early experimental subjects – and Dr. Martin Wutke, a clinical physiologist using some of these techniques to treat addiction and depression. When I was doing therapy, I worked with Dr. Joan Essic of the Bowman-Gray Medical School’s MPD clinic and Dr. Jean Templeton who inherited my techniques when I gave it up.”

Aside from the fact that the above is written in a very slippery way, so that it is difficult to infer whether Mr. Bridges is the patient or the therapist, so far we have not been able to verify any of Mr. Bridges claims. We cannot confirm that Mr. Bridges is a certified hypotherapist. Searches on North Carolina websites listing such have come up negative, though this may show up in the North and South Carolina Public records searches that are underway. The same holds with his possible certifications in TA and advanced NLP. We will keep you informed. We have received an email from an individual who claims to have known Mr. Bridges for a long time, and who asserts that Bridges was a patient in a psychiatric hospital for a lengthy period.

UPDATE! Regarding the above claims about his training as a therapist, Mr. Bridges has stated the following subsequent to the publishing of this report:

Bridges writes: Other quick points on that front include: The MPD clinic was an informal group of psychologist and psychiatrists that met at the Rose and Thistle Cafe in W-S twice a month to discuss their Disassociative Disorder and MPD clients.

Mr. Bridges has here stretched our credulity to the breaking point again. Keep in mind that his clear statement was:

“When I was doing therapy, I worked with Dr. Joan Essic of the Bowman-Gray Medical School’s MPD clinic…”

The question we would like to ask is “who is trying to confuse and mislead whom?”

Bridges writes: Dr. Joan Essic, Wake Forest 1988 I believe, was a friend first who, because of our work together on hypnosis – she introduced me to Ericsonnian – recommended that the group try me out on a few of their incorrigibles. When I got results that they couldn’t explain, they started to send me more clients. I was never asked to the meetings, and so don’t remember their names. All of that is in another collection of boxes and files yet to go through.

We have found a Dr. Ellyn Joan Essic, who obtained her Ph.D. in 1999 from University of North Carolina at Greensboro. At this point, we are unable to connect her with the Bowman-Gray Medical School but will keep trying. We have sent written inquiries, including the entire transcripts of all Mr. Bridges claims to a selection of individuals at Wake Forest/Bowman Gray. We will update them with the further information about the psychologists and psychiatrists meeting at the cafe who were sending Mr. Bridges their clients so that they can investigate this matter.

“…Dr. Joan Essic of the Bowman-Gray Medical School’s MPD clinic and Dr. Jean Templeton who inherited my techniques when I gave it up…”

and:

I was gaining credibility with the Bowman Gray Med School’s MPD clinic…”

What we did find that the Bowman-Gray Medical School DOES have an MPD clinic. However, this MPD Clinic has nothing to do with psychology – clinical, behavioral, or otherwise. As it happens, “MPD” as used by Bowman Gray refers to Hematology research, a branch of which includes the study of “Myeloproliferative Disorders”… “Myeloproliferative – Concerning abnormal proliferation of bone marrow elements either in the bone marrow or extramedullary.”

This would not appear to have anything to do with counseling. Nevertheless, an “MPD Clinic” of such a large and prestigious Medical School would be just the ticket to attach to a list of credits for someone claiming to be an authority on the subject of Multiple Personality Disorder. He just didn’t check far enough to find out what the clinic really did.

Bridges writes: My former therapy partner, Dr Jean Templeton, (who blew Laura’s crap off as clearly delusional – everyone please note that not a word of that exchange has been mentioned) claims me as her hypnosis teacher on her own hypnotherapy certification application.

Regarding the above: There has not been an “exchange” between any of the Perseus Foundation researchers and Dr. Jean Templeton. Three inquiries to Dr. Templeton have resulted in no response. If Dr. Templeton has responded to Vincent Bridges himself, why hasn’t he published her verifiable confirmation of his claims? Vincent Bridges has also told us:

I went and checked my appointment book for 1996. I was still practicing then, and practically every moment of every day is recorded. On Wednesday, April 24th, 1996 I was in Tampa, the book says University of Tampa, but all I remember is a large and funky 1890′s hotel deep in downtown, doing a seminar with my partner Dr. Jean Templeton for a group of therapists and psychs on early childhood abuse and our light and sound entrainment procedures for treating it.

Strangely enough, that was my last seminar with Jean. She went off to Masters and Johnson that summer and became famous for our technique. I manned the store while she was gone and then that fall I decided I had had enough. I started pulling back on clients, keeping only those that were willing to do the work. By early’97 I was officially retired. I kept my Tyler Texas family because I had two sisters and a mother with serious problems and a history of involvement with the Program with going back to the 1930′s. Their family connections, including William Bailey III, an oil man who was a friend of Prescott Bush’s and the first person J. Edgar Hoover called after he was notified of the assassination, led me to the core of the whole JFK thing. That’s how I know that the Cs interpretation is correct. They were just not telling you the whole story. So, while it’s fine for me to dig the story out of other people’s unconsciousness, it’s too dangerous just to spill the whole thing out to you through the Ouiji board.


Again, despite our REPEATED efforts to obtain a recommendation for Mr. Bridges from his “former partner,” Dr. Jean Templeton, giving every opportunity to her to offer him support in his claims. the silence is deafening. Even if, as Mr. Bridges claims, Dr. Templeton “blew Laura’s crap off as clearly delusional – everyone please note that not a word of that exchange has been mentioned,” the fact is that she has made not a single effort to respond to our requests to verify his claims. And more than one member of the research group have contacted her. But, there is one claim that we do have a return on. Vincent Bridges makes the claim:

“I am one of the pioneers of psycho-acoustic brain entrainment trauma abreaction, having worked with both Tom Kenyon – I was one of Acoustic Brain Research’s early experimental subjects – and Dr. Martin Wutke …”

In response to your inquiry, I am afraid I cannot be of much assistance. I do not recall this name, though I cannot say that he was never a client of mine, as I practicied psychotheraphy for many years and his statement saying that he was a “subject” sounds more like a client than a fellow researcher.

Acoustic Brain Research was an independent research organization that I operated from 1983 until 1993, though my tapes and CDs from that period are still in production and are utilized by individuals and clinics around the world. These were produced and conceived by me, without assistance. They were sent to independent labs at Universities and locations for verification of brain shifts.

I cannot say this man did not work for one of those labs but he certainly wasn’t a principal at any as I recall.

But I have no recollection of this name, certainly not as a collaborator or researcher during that time.

Cordially,
Tom Kenyon


An inquiry to Dr. Wuttke (misspelled in the above quote) has not come back yet.

UPDATE: I would like to bring some other important matters to the reader’s attention. The reader may wish to read and listen to the “Mirror Session,” which includes the following information, which we felt needed to be included in this official report, so it is repeated here.

As even the most casual observer will note, when listening to the sound clips from the hypnosis/mirror session conducted by Mr. Vincent Bridges, his lapses of professional demeanor in relation to a subject in a state of hypnosis induced and controlled by him, are not merely reprehensible, they are legally actionable.

Nevertheless, in his usual style of diverting attention from his lies by attacking his victims rather than producing any requested documentation of his own claims, Mr. Bridges, has recently written and posted on a public message board, the following:

*Note on the practice of hypnosis in Florida – The state of Florida has strict laws concerning hypnosis. Florida Statute 456 outlines who can practice, and who cannot: Florida Statute 456 on the Practice of Hypnosis, LIMITS this therapy to LICENSED practitioners of the healing arts, including physicians, psychiatrists, dentists, chiropractors, podiatrists, and optometrists “within the perview of the statutes applicable to his respective profession.” A patient may be referred to a “qualified practitioner” by a licensed practitioner of the healing arts, but that “qualified practitioner” must employ hypnotic techniques under the SUPERVISION, DIRECTION, ‘PRESCRIPTION’, and RESPONSIBILITY of such referring practitioner. (66) FLORIDA STATUTE 456 Practice of Hypnosis 456.005 Penalities: Misdemeanor of the second degree: (456).

Laura writes: Mr. Bridges is quite correct. However, what he has failed to mention is the fact that hypnosis – or other counseling modalities – performed under the aegis of religious practice, are not being described in the above paragraph. Perhaps Mr. Bridges might have checked out the above statute before traveling to the State of Florida to perform therapeutic hypnosis on me – which I ought to add was taped and the tapes are in our possession and will be produced when the situation warrants. After all, Mr. Bridges is the one claiming to be a “psychotherapist,” not me. And thus far, we have been unable to discover a single piece of evidence or validation for his training and claims.

Mr. Bridges goes on to say:

“In the second volume of her voluminous and on-going autobiography, Adventures with the Cassiopaeans, Ms. Knight-Jadczyk informs us that she has no training in hypnotherapy, or any other kind of therapy. ‘I admit that I have none freely. Well, that’s not entirely true. I have certification in hypnosis; until I quit in 1996, I was listed in the directories of The American Counselors Society and The National Society of Clinical Hypnotherapists, neither of which is any kind of major endorsement.’”

What Mr. Bridges fails to note is that the above quoted remark from me (Laura) is a footnote to the following statement:

“So, on the one hand, we have six respectable people, none of whom has ever even “fudged” their credentials…”

The reference was to “credentials” in terms of degrees and other claims, including publishing credits, such as those falsely made by Mr. Vincent Bridges. It made no reference whatsoever to any lack of training in hypnotherapy or any other kind of therapy. In fact, I described quite clearly the training I received in those areas through the years in Amazing Grace. What we are seeing is another example of the semantic aphasia of the psychopath who, as one expert put it: “knows many words, but not the meanings.”

Bridges writes: Indeed, since the first organization no longer exists, and seems to have had a very small and completely non-professional membership, and the second has no record of a Laura Knight or a Laura Martin ever taking any sort of training or receiving any kind of certification, then we must ask just what does this certification consist of?

This is a case of deliberate falsification since I have on my desk the directory which includes many professional members in all 50 states.

Bridges writes: A Laura Martin was indeed a member of the Society in 1994 and 1995, but simple membership and directory listing explicitly carries with it no certification or even a recommendation.

Unfortunately, Mr. Bridges is incorrect again. The societies named above, are composed of members who have graduated from the training programs of St. John’s University, an accredited institution formed long after I received my training from its founder, Dr. Arthur Winkler. As it happens, over the many years since I took the courses, I had lost my certificates and wrote to Dr. Winkler to ask if it could be replaced. He remembered me and my certificates were replaced they can be viewed here: (See certification, brochure and letters)

Bridges writes: If therefore Ms. Knight-Jadczyk has any type of certification in hypnosis, which is doubtful as no positive evidence of such certification has been presented or can be found in the records of the institutions cited by her, it does not in the state of Florida entitle her to practice Hypnotherapy without the direct supervision of a licensed practitioner of the healing arts, as listed above. If she has been practicing such hypnotherapy without any supervision, then it is a violation of Florida law, and is a second-degree misdemeanor as noted above.

Since we have dealt with the issue of MY certification, perhaps Mr. Bridges ought to apply these standards to himself since, as noted, I have never claimed to be a “psychotherapist” as he has done, repeatedly. A psychotherapist is a counselor or support person who helps people with their emotional/social/mental processes. Usually, a psychotherapist has a Masters level degree either in social work or psychology and is generally licensed or certified by their state licensing board.

We have already determined that Mr. Bridges has no such degrees, nor have we been able to discover any license or certification in the state of North Carolina in which he claims to have practiced as a “psychotherapist.”

And again, hypnosis practiced as religious counseling is entirely legal in the State of Florida, and in fact, that is the aegis under which nearly all hypnotists who are not psychologists or psychiatrists or other medical personnel, practice.

Furthermore, Spirit Release Therapy and Past Life Therapy, and exorcism, are not accepted as “therapeutic modalities” by standard psychological therapy and are not even covered under the above statute. However, therapeutic hypnosis that deals with child abuse issues, including sexual abuse, as Mr. Bridges claims is his speciality, is indeed covered under the above statute. Mr. Bridges wrote to a member of our group:

Dear S***,

Well, it sounds like you are a classical client of mine. My specialty was early childhood trauma abreaction, and I mainly focused on incest, sexual abuse, etc. [...] In the course of all that, I’ve come across many “Greenbaum” cases. Corey’s lecture, quoted by Laura in the Wave I think, is partly taken from my research. I talked at length to him a few months before the conference where he gave the lecture and my then partner was in the audience.

[...] I am Dr. Mack and Bud Hopkins’ worst enemies. Hopkins refused to speak at the same Fortean convention a few years ago, because I had attacked his work so strongly the night before at the party. So it goes. . . These guys are shameful. [...] I studied with Milton Ericson years ago, and he stressed the value of conscious participation in the trance state as the only way to insure the value of the trance’s contents. [...] I had a semi-famous abductee, one of the above’s “clients,” whose experience turned about to be, with enough carefully unfoldment, her father masturbating at her bedside. [...] Feel like visiting the beautiful piedmont one weekend? I can do a simple evaluation, and see if there is work we can profitably do together. It is possible to do it in one day, I’ve a few other semi-detached clients in Asheville who do occasionally, so. . . Are you game? Anyway, let me know what you feel,

Vincent

Now, notice that in his other statement at the beginning of this section of the report, Vincent Bridges has said:

“As for therapy and being a therapist, that started with three years of therapy with Dr. Margaret McCoy, a Transactional Analysis psychologist. She turned me on to hypnosis, an old fascination, and I soon went from Ericsonian to NLP to holotropic breathwork and so on.”

And then he says: “Dr. Joan Essic, Wake Forest 1988 I believe, was a friend first who, because of our work together on hypnosis – she introduced me to Ericsonnian…”

Yet, in an email to an individual that Bridges was trying to “drum up” as a possible paying client, he has said plainly:

“I studied with Milton Ericson years ago…”

Well, which one is it, Mr. Bridges? Was it Templeton, Essic, or Dr. Ericson himself?

What seems to be true is that Vincent Bridges learned how to fake being a therapist by being in therapy. In other words, Vincent Bridges doing “therapy” is the equivalent of the lunatic taking over the asylum!

Perhaps that explains all those “blank years” in his bio, and the lack of public records in his life?

Getting back to his “practice of psychotherapy.” What are the statutes regarding such practice in North Carolina?

A more interesting question, however, is when, precisely, did Vincent Bridges study with Milton Ericson? After all, the good doctor died in 1980 at the age of 79. We already have a pretty full schedule for those years according to Bridges own account. Nevertheless, we have sent inquiries to the related institutes to discover if anyone who did actually study with Ericson remembers Mr. Bridges. When we receive the information, we will update this page.

In any event, I do hope that Vincent Bridges clearly remembers every word spoken in the several sessions in which he hypnotized me “therapeutically,” as he most certainly is in violation of the law in Florida he has cited. I do thank him for researching this matter for me since it now adds to the list of frauds he has perpetrated on me and others which can be submitted for review to the State Attorney of Florida.


UPDATE – June 6, 2002: At this point, we wish to go in another direction in our report. A certain item was included in the Weidner Correspondence as follows:

Hi All,

There has been a situation going on for several weeks that we have waited to talk about until certain details could be handled. One of our group members is really getting hit HARD. She has asked me to ask for some protective energies around her, and you will soon see why it is necessary.

To better explain what has been going on, I will paste in my email to FDLE and her email to the North Carolina department of Justice, State Bureau of Investigation, and Bellsouth, her internet provider.

We kept this under wraps until she could get her password and username changed so that our discussion would not be read by whoever is doing this, which we already suspect.

Dear Special Agent Breeden,

It seems that Mr. Bridges has the capability to “tap into” and utilize IP numbers that are not his own. In the list of the following IP numbers that have been logged by our server just in the past week on the occasions when he attempts to post his filth on our site discussion page, please note that the sixth number resolves to Asheville N.C. where a member of our group lives who has an iMac account with Bellsouth. She has recently noticed charges on her internet account that reflect “out of area access.” She naturally inquired of Bellsouth what this could mean since she hasn’t even left town in months.

At the time that the sixth IP number was loggged, we blocked future access from the server. A few hours later, this group member wrote to us asking why she could not access our site. It was only then, put together with her “out of area” charges, that we realized that Mr. Bridges might be using her account for his activities. She has reported this possibility to Bellsouth as well as the Asheville police.

We can’t say anything about the other IP numbers except that we have members in our group in each of the states that they resolve to, but in no case can it be resolved further than the server which handles many individual accounts.

This may be the tip of an iceberg of something more widespread and serious. The fact that this individual has the ability to do this, may indicate something more serious, if only identity theft on a massive scale.

If looking into this is not within your purview, please suggest to us whose it is. At this point, we can only continue to forward documentation to our local police, though we have also received the suggestion that we ought to forward all the information to the State Attorney’s of both Florida and NC.

Thank you, (and the list of recent IP use is pasted in below.)

[The above only represent a small selection of the many dozens of attempts - often made several times a day - Mr. Bridges made to post his lies on our site.]

The story behind the above excerpt of exchanges consists in the following:

As the reader knows, our report on Vincent Bridges was published on Thanksgiving Day of 2001. That was at the end of November, and only after a considerable period of time of observation of his public libel and defamation to which we initially did not wish to respond, based on the assumption that it would go away.

It wasn’t until January of 2002 that we became fully aware of the fact that Mr. Bridges was exerting himself in ways that were way beyond just simply libeling us in public. It was at that point that we became aware of the fact that he had attempted to file false police reports with our local police department and with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. It was also then that we became aware of the fact that he had been “conducting his own investigation.”

However, Mr. Bridges’ idea of an “investigation” does not consist in asking questions to verify claims made by another party. His idea of an investigation seems to consist of contacting people and trying to manipulate their perceptions and beliefs with lies and innuendo. Fortunately, most individuals who are real journalists or law enforcement officials DO take the time to check out claims and Mr. Bridges was told that he didn’t have a leg to stand on and that if he had problems with what we were saying, he needed to get a lawyer and sue us in civil court because, since we had not posted any lies about him, we had committed no crimes. The exact words quoted to us that were told to Mr. Bridges by one law enforcement official who checked out his claims were: “Ms. Knight-Jadczyk has crossed all her “T’s” and dotted all her “I’s.” It looks, Mr. Bridges, like you thought you were going to step on a worm and discovered that the worm wasn’t a worm after all.”

So it was that when it was discovered through Jay Weidner, that Mr. Bridges was in contact with “Frank Scott” and what was behind his threat to “expose Laura,” which literally consisted in an attempt at blackmail/extortion, we understood that Mr. Bridges was truly behaving as a psychopath. It was at that point that we decided that a more proactive stance was necessary and the decision was made that the only answer to Mr. Bridges lies was to simply present the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, WITH the documentation.

Mr. Bridges reacted to this public exposure of his activities with literally a barrage of attempts to post more of his lies and defamation – WITHOUT any documentation – on our website.

Using standard site management tools, we simply blocked his access. And it was as a result of this blocking at the time of the “Tallahassee” article that some very disturbing things became evident as will be revealed by the following series of email discussions several of the discussion group were having.

Meanwhile, VB is out there trying like crazy to post his flame attacks on our site, in the guestbook, etc. He got around the fact that he was blocked by some means of tapping into the library computer in New Port Richey and routing from there. Since it came from a MAC, we know it was not one of the library computers, so it wasn’t Frank going down and doing it… and the only other explanation is that he did some sort of “re-route” trick.

He is simply not going to post his lies on our site. That’s the bottom line. But he keeps trying. He wants access to our readership because he knows that his own audience is only about 100 people, if that.

Meanwhile, he is also cruising the net, looking for message boards and sites to post his lies.

This may or may not be related, but the question continues to nag me. Does anyone else remember when Vincent sent a very short post, asking who had mac computers? I answered his email that I had an iMac and the subject never came up again. Does anyone remember this, or know why he would ask this question to the group?

Laura… your paragraph above brought this to mind once again. On the same subject, my Bellsouth bill this month came in with an additional $26.00 for GSP POP Access Usage at $2.75 per hour. When I called to inquire, they explained that this is what they charge when I travel out of state and use a toll free number that they provide to access my internet account. I explained that this has never happened and they said they would investigate and get back to me. Well, they called back and said that it seemed to be an error, although they could not explain how it happened because my account clearly reflected access only from my home phone and my office number (both local Asheville numbers) and they would credit my account. This troubles me.

Go HERE to see the actual bill (with names and identifying numbers removed.) This is the bill dated Nov. 1 thru Dec. 31.

Hi, S***,

I do remember VB posting something like that. If I get some time later tonight, I’ll see if I can find it. Did your Bellsouth rep tell you where the calls came from? You might try calling them back and see if they can tell you which state. Interesting. You might ask if any of the others (who were on the list at the same VB was) have a Mac and if so, did they notice anything odd about their bills this month.

Here is one event of today that I do not understand. Vincent today accessed our web site using his Mac, but using uunet account located in New Port Richey. There is little chance that he is really in New Port Richey, because shortly before he did the same from NC – same post – same computer tracks.

L**,

I spoke to two different Bellsouth Reps. The first was a general troubleshooter type. The second one that called me back, had actually done the investigation. She said that she found nothing that would explain the error in billing. She said that she expected to find that I had accessed my email account from out of state and did not find this. She said that Bellsouth does not give out the out of state toll free access number unless a member specifically asks for it. There was no record of a request from me for this phone number. She said that my account clearly reflects access to my email account through my home phone number and that from August 2001 to the present, I have accessed my email twice from my office number. No explanation for the error. The charge was for 8.7 hours of of GSP POP Access. I am going to email Bellsouth and request more details. I have also written to a Florida friend who is sort of a mac super expert to ask for his opinion. I have asked him if someone can hack into a library system and then hack into another computer, etc.

S***


The exchange went back and forth for awhile, all of the group members involved being rather confused about the issue. It was shortly after this that we informed Special Agent Breeden about the matter, hoping that the more powerful investigative tools of a law enforcement agency could ferret out the problem since the events indicated that S** F**’s billing problem was very likely directly related to Vincent Bridges sudden access to innumerable IP numbers – and all of them most decidedly NOT “earthlink” as he has claimed.

Special Agent Breeden responded saying that the FDLE needed evidence that would stand up in court. Well, since we were looking to his agency to obtain that evidence, and since we only had partial evidence, we became acutely aware of how psychopaths manage to get away with their crimes. They are “boderline” crimes. They are serious offenses against individuals, create misery and suffering for other human beings, including material losses, but they are generally so “small potatoes” that law enforcement agencies generally see them as just “nuisances.”

But, getting back to the narrative, since S** F*** was told that it was obviously an error, and she would be credited for the error, the subject was dropped.

It wasn’t until S** F*** received her phone bill the following month that the issue became something to be concerned about. On this bill, dated Dec. 1 thru Jan 31st, which was not received until AFTER the above discussion, there was a charge of $295.03 for 107.283 hours of GSP POP Access Usage @ $2.75 per hour.

That’s a lot of web cruising!

The “hacker” had apparently discovered that Ms. F*** was a working person who was seldom online and he had a “free ride,” so to say, and had decided to really take advantage of it.

Meanwhile, the attempts to access our website from numerous, varied IP addresses, clearly identifiable as the work of Mr. Bridges, continued.

At this point, Ms. F*** was advised that this was a matter of theft and that she ought to report it as such to the police.

Well, she did. Only once again, just as FDLE had passed the buck, the Asheville head of Computer Crimes did also. It began to look like law enforcement agencies were simply going to look the other way. Again and again Ms. F and others hear “It’s on the internet, it’s not my jurisdiction.” So, we find another reason why the successful psychopath continues to function in society. The garden variety rarely commit big crimes. They are just “nuisances.” That’s actually quite fitting. Not only is Bridges a hack writer, he’s a “hack criminal!”

A really good psychopath can make a living stealing a few hundred bux here and a few hundred there. A really good psychopath who is computer literate, can literally make a “killing” on the internet by stealing from many different people, but keeping the theft under a certain figure. The general rule of thumb about them is that whatever is uncovered about their behavior is only the tip of an iceberg of what they are really up to.

After trying repeatedly to get action from both Bellsouth and the Asheville Police department, S** F*** finally wrote to the Attorney General of North Carolina. Here is S***’s letter:

Ms. S*** F***
*****************
Asheville, NC 28…
828-********

North Carolina Office of the Attorney General
North Carolina Department of Justice
Mr. Roy Cooper, Attorney General

Dear Mr. Cooper:

Within your press release of October 4, 2001, you stated, “Now we will be able to use technology–the same tools that criminals have used to commit crimes–to bring them to justice.”

Last Monday morning, on the North Carolina Now television program, you said, the State Bureau of Investigation’s Computer Forensics Lab was “a real priority for me”.

To my knowledge, you are the only public servant in the state, that is seriously concerned about the victimization of North Carolina residents through the use of computers.

I am a victim of a computer crime. I have contacted Bellsouth.net, my ISP, as well as the Asheville Police Department to report this crime. I have found the existing resources lacking in their ability to address computer crimes. My hope, is that you will help me to bring this criminal to justice.

I have copied and pasted my letter to Bellsouth.net into the body of this email, as it covers the information I have available at present regarding this crime committed against me.

LETTER TO BELLSOUTH

To: <abuse@bellsouth.net>
Subject: Internet fraud

Ms. S*** F***
** ******
Asheville, NC 2*****
828-*******

Dear Sir or Ma’am:

On January 9, 2002, I contacted Bellsouth with an inquiry regarding internet charges on my bill for $75.72 due January 20, 2002. Of the total amount due of $75.72, two items were new and unfamiliar.

A. 8.700 Hours GSP POP Access Usage @2.75 an hour…….. $23.92

B. 8.700 Hours GSP POP Access Usage @ $0.25 an hour… 2.17

The Bellsouth representative advised me that she was fairly certain that these internet charges reflected charges for the access of my email account from out of state, or out of my access area. When I explained to the representative that the only place I access my email from is my home in Asheville through the use of my home telephone line she asked if I would please hold while she consulted with the internet department. When the representative came back on the line, she explained that these charges were in fact for out of service area access of my internet account and that the charges were an error and I would be credited with this erroneous charge.

I explained to the representative that I was very concerned about these erroneous charges as I had noticed that on occasion I was unable to access my email account and a window would appear that read:

Error Could not retrieve mail from the account “athought email”

Explanation The file name is already in use.

Error – 3216

I told the representative that I had previously contacted the Bellsouth.net technical department to report this problem and that the technical representative had urged me to wait a few hours and log on once again.

I told the representative that I suspected internet fraud and that these erroneous charges had now increased my suspicions. The representative explained that she was from the Billing Department and suggested that I speak to someone from the Bellsouth.net Internet Division.

The occasional inability to access my email, as well as the window advising me that MY FILE NAME was already in use continued.

On January 18, 2002 I once again contacted the Bellsouth.net Technical Support Department and reported that I was continuing to experience the inability to access my email and once again explained about the window stating that the file name was already in use. The representative gave me Case# 1**** and said that it was either that my modem was “sticking” and not letting me disconnect (I have no understanding of what this means), or that SOMEONE ELSE, SOMEWHERE ELSE, WAS USING MY EMAIL ACCOUNT. I told her that I suspected internet fraud and I wanted this matter investigated immediately. The representative said she would pass it on to her supervisor and I would be contacted by them. I have not heard from Bellsouth.net by email or by telephone regarding this matter.

My next Bellsouth bill arrived with no credit for the erroneous charges mentioned above.

The new bill reflects new charges for:

A. 107.283 Hours GSP POP Access Usage @ 2.75 an hour… $295.03

B. 107.283 Hours GSP POP Access Usage @ $0.25 an hour.. 26.82

I called Bellsouth.net and spoke to a representative named Mike who gave me Case #1**** when I reported the internet fraud.

I called the Asheville Police Department at (828) 252-1110 and advised them that I wanted to report a computer crime. The police officer told me that Detective Michael Downing handled computer crimes and gave me his telephone number. He told me to call Detective Downing the next day after 8:30 AM. It took me four days to finally get Detecive Downing on the phone. He told me that this matter must begin with an investigation by Bellsouth’s Fraud Investigators. The Detective told me that when the Fraud Investigators have the data regarding the fraud, the information will be provided to me and then I can call him back and if a crime has been committed in Asheville, he will pursue the matter. He urged me to insist that I speak to a Fraud Investigator and that he will ask me for the name of the investigator when I call him back. He explained in a clear and concise manner that Bellsouth DOES have the capability of investigating exactly and precisely WHO IT IS that is fraudulently hacking into my system and FROM WHERE.

I called Bellsouth.net Technical Support again and spoke to a representative by the name of John. I related the above to him and he gave me Case #1****. He placed me on hold while he spoke to his supervisor. John came back on the line only to refer me to the email address: abuse@bellsouth.net. John said that there were no fraud investigators as Detective Downing had stated there were. John said that if I write a detailed email to the above email address, my problem will be investigated and I will receive a response.

Last week, I attempted to access a website and received a message that read: “Forbidden”, indicating that access was blocked by the site owner. I contacted the site owner by email requesting an explanation. I was advised by Dr. and Mrs. Arkadiusz Jadczyk, the site owners, that a Mr. Vincent Bridges, of North Carolina has repeatedly attempted to hack their website. As a result of this activity, they have been tracking his IP use. It seems that this Mr. Bridges has the capability to tap into and utilize IP numbers that are not his own. The tracking data indicates that one of the IP numbers resolves to ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA. At the time that this Asheville IP number was logged, the Jadczyk’s blocked future access from their server. A few hours later, I wrote to the Jadczyk’s asking why I could not access their site. It was only then, that the Jadczyk’s put together the details I have outlined above with the apparent probability that this Mr. Bridges might be using my account for his activities.

I am writing to the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation as well as the North Carolina Attorney General regarding this matter. Monday morning, the North Carolina Attorney General was interviewed on the television program North Carolina Now. He spoke with pride of the new Computer Forensics Lab that has very recently been established and stated that these crimes were “a real priority for me”. I trust that within this state, I will find one public servant that is willing to assist me with this crime that has been committed. Obviously, I could just cancel my account with Bellsouth and give up. However, as one of your customers that pays most of my bills online, I trust that your corporation views internet fraud with the same level of seriousness as I do.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

END OF LETTER TO BELLSOUTH

I do not have a firewall, and consequently, do not have a log of all the instances where I was unable to access my email account due to the fact that someone else had hacked into my computer and was illegally using my file name. I’m certain that you will agree that 116 hours of illegal use of my account warrants an investigation.

Dr. and Mrs. Arkadiusz Jadczyk, have kindly consented to cooperate with any law enforcement authority that is willing to investigate this crime. The Jadczyk’s do have computer security software and have been tracking this criminal. The Jadczyk’s have already caught this criminal using my IP number and the conclusion is almost unavoidable that it is this one individual, Vincent Bridges of North Carolina. the Jadczyk’s have given me their consent to provide you with their name, address and telephone number.

Hi,

Just an update. I finally got Bellsouth to credit me for the fraudulent access. Are you ready for this? My internet dial up number had been changed. Who changed it, is of course a mystery. My local dial up number had been changed to a North Carolina number in (they think) Wilmington, North Carolina. It was not a bellsouth.net dial up number. It is 251-1626. The Asheville dial up number is 654-8224. No one seems to know exactly how I was able to connect to the internet, when the 251 number is not a “residential” dial up number. I called the number twice, to see who would answer and heard only the electrical sounds that you hear when you dial into the internet. The “theory” is, that someone hacked into my computer, and changed my dial up number to a BUSINESS DIAL UP NUMBER IN WILMINGTON! It’s taken me a week to get the bellsouth people to reverse the fraudulent charges. I have not heard back from anyone regarding my letters to abuse@bellsouth.net, nor the attorney general, etc.

I have a slew of unanswered questions and problems related to my finances that I have to investigate. Someone authorized three mortgage payments instead of the one per month that I make online every month. My payment to the company I buy oil from bounced! Etc. Etc. I am closing all accounts tomorrow. My checking account, etc. Cause I suspect the hacker may have attempted to mess with the payments I make online.

Well, the letter to the Atty. General apparently resulted in a little bit of action, but as is usual with bureaucrats, they somehow never managed to address the real problem and it seems that they were more interested in the CYA principle. Meanwhile, a THIRD Bill with the charges made by the hacker was received by S** F***. This bill include149.267 hours of GSP POP Access at $2.75 per hour.

Subject: Update
From: S** F***
To: Laura

As an update on responses from the authorities:

I received a photocopy of a letter that the State of North Carolina, Department of Justice, Division of Consumer Protection mailed to Bellsouth.

[Copy of letter inserted]

When I received this copy, I realized it was probable that the phone call I received two days ago from the Bellsouth Abuse Team was in direct response to this letter and not to my own email to abuse@bellsouth.net. I have no way of knowing the actual facts regarding this.

Check this out: http://www.naplesnews.com/today/local/d387482a.htm

This lady, Jane Hitchcock presented a lecture last night at Purdue, where my son J*** is a student. He attended the lecture and called me as soon as he returned to the dorm to tell me about it. His opinion is that through her own cyberstalking experience she became an almost unwilling expert on the subject.

She had quite a lot to say about AOL. She also said in her lecture that AOL was without question the worst ISP for EVERYTHING, except for the instant message service they offer. She gave numerous examples of how AOL’s Abuse Department is totally bogus and how they literally do absolutely NOTHING when a customer is hacked or stalked. She shared one Particular instance where a woman was being stalked and her life was being threatened and the case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Apparently, the FBI contacted AOL and pressured AOL to cooperate with the investigation. Jane Hitchcock claimed in her lecture that the AOL Abuse Department’s response to the FBI was: By law we have 10 days before we must respond, so we will respond in 10 days.

However, Tuesday afternoon, I received a phone call at work from a lady that identified herself as a member of the Bellsouth Abuse Team. I spoke at length to this lady and she sounded qenuinely concerned, but, I’ve been fooled before, so who knows!

Basically, she said that there was no question I had been hacked. She said that it was probable that I was the victim of a trojan also. She said that the hacker is extremely shrewd. The hacker used a “roaming” number, which is a Bellsouth “roaming” number only given out to Bellsouth customers when they advise Bellsouth they will be travelling and will need to access their Email from outside of their access area. She said that by utilizing this roaming number, the hacking activities are untraceable as it appears that I had the number and I used it. She said there was nothing that Bellsouth could do to help me track, identify, or “catch” this hacker due to the roaming number. She said she would make some kind of adjustment to the Charges so that it would not take the normal 60 to 90 days to actually see The reversal of these charges on my bill. My next bill would reflect the reversal. She “claimed” that she had been working on the investigation of my case for a full week and was convinced that this hacker could not be traced. She said that if there was any information available regarding this Case where the hacker had hacked another Bellsouth.net customer, then, Perhaps this would lead to additional information.

I encourage you and Ark to continue your work. Yes, it is difficult and challenging beyond the comprehension of most and yet it is valuable to us all. Thank you for your continued efforts on behalf of us “others”…

S***


A Mr. Thomas Meece, Investigator for the NC Department of Justice, finally wrote to Ms. F*** and included in his correspondence a copy of a letter he had written to Bellsouth as well as Bellsouth’s reply. Go HERE to see the letter from Mr. Meece to Ms. F***. Go HERE to see the letter from Mr. Meece to Bellsouth. Go HERE and HERE to see the letter from Bellsouth to Mr. Meece.

The reader will note that the letter from Bellsouth states that the “hacking” began on November 28, which was six days following the publication of the “Bridges Report.” Do we think that this is coincidental?

The total figure of charges that the hacker racked up on Ms. F***’s account was $795.74. That’s a significant crime against a single mother who works as a nurse at a clinic for the indigent. And, all the while that this was going on, Vincent Bridges and his gang were posting all over the net suggestions that WE were hacking into THEIR computers! It’s a classic psychopathic operation! Blame the victims for what you are doing yourselves.

But, again, this always gives a clue to what is going on with the psychopath themselves. All you have to do is read what they write or listen to what they say about others, and you know what they are doing or planning themselves. Also, when they describe their opinions of others, you can be sure that this description applies to them.

The astute reader will also note that Ms. Mary Lib Parker, of Bellsouth, managed to get the whole thing mixed up regarding Mr. Bridges’ relationship with Ark and Laura and that she assured Mr. Meece that Ms. F*** was satisfied and a happy camper all the way.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Hi,

Came home to find this letter today, which I will retype for your information: [see copies of letters linked above.]

Well !!! ……………….
Needless to say, although the above letter from BellSouth does contain a small amount of truth, it is mostly bulls__t! There is no satisfied Ms. F*** (I did not say nor imply that I was satisfied in any way, shape, or form) and BellSouth is just wiping their hands clean of any and all responsibility!

I am, of course, going to respond to this letter, sentence by sentence. I will clarify my own position as I not only resent BellSouth misrepresenting my position, but I am offended by their outright lies!

If there is any information that you can provide regarding the incident where I was blocked from the website and the IP numbers etc. that might prove useful to include in my response, I would appreciate receiving it, along with an explanation that is not in computer language. One of the most frustrating aspects of this experience is my great level of ignorance regarding all these matters.

Thanks once again for your support throughout this experience. My nerves have been strained lately.

S***


The above is all we are able to report about this situation at the present time since – as a result of further action and input – it is still being investigated. Now, let’s go back to a continuation of Mr. Bridges response to the above matter, which he has posted in on numerous public message boards:

“…And of course the filth they refer to is my feeble attempts to respond to their lies and innuendoes. So much for open-ness and free speech…

Regarding Mr. Bridges’ above remark, his ongoing insistence that he is only making “feeble attempts” to respond and that this is related to “openness and free speech,” it seems that Mr. Bridges again knows a lot of words but not the meaning thereof.

An unfortunate byproduct of the explosive growth of the Internet is the rapid rise of “cybersmearing” – the anonymous or pseudonymous defamation on the Interned of individuals, companies, and company executives. Those individuals who are engaged in this kind of activity generally rant about “free speech” being violated when their libelous and defamatory rants are deleted or blocked. They argue that the right to publish anonymously on the internet, without fear of liability, is part of a long and honorable tradition of anonymous communictaion, both in politics and in literature.

Essentially, there is nothing wrong with anonymous posting on the internet. Everyone does it. But when it is used to promote lies, libel, defamation, and in terms of COINTELPRO, it is something else altogether. The general rule of thumb is, however, if the exact same words, if printed or spoken in a traditionally nonanonymous medium, (i.e., most legitimate newspapers, magazines, and most broadcast media) would clearly be actionable as libel (i.e. false, lies, untrue). In short, anonymous posters are not immune from liability for defamation or other action when the posters would be held liable if they attached their real names to their statements.

A webmaster Vincent Bridges recently contacted in an attempt to force removal of links to this series of articles responded to Mr. Bridges in words that cannot be improved upon, as follows, forwarding a copy to us:

Mr Bridges,

I have taken time from my busy schedule to take a deeper look into Jay Weidner’s, Terri Burns’, and your claims concerning Ms Knight and her article. I have also further reviewed Ms Knight’s material at cassiopaea.com, and have now come to some conclusions regarding this matter, but still have a few questions.

Bridges writes:
>She has presented absolutely no evidence that I am a
>cointellpro agent, unless she privately shared something with you. If that
>is the case, I would very much like to see that “evidence.”

Could you please show me where in her article, posted at the Universal Seduction site, does it specifically label you as a COINTELPRO agent? I’ve read her article “COINTELPRO” several times, and although it deals with the COINTELPRO subject, it does not label you an agent. If you are referring to something she said in an article at cassiopaea.com, that’s between you and Ms Knight, as the article we have from her does not state anything of the sort and we must dismiss your argument against such a nonexistent statement.

To be fair, I did look into where this accusation of you being a COINTELPRO agent originated, and your associate Jay Weidner seems to be the source.

Perhaps you are aware of this?

In addition to the article/letter you attached called “Laura Knight Jadczyk, Jay Weidner, And the Cassiopaeans,” written by Mr Weidner, we have also received a few emails from him urging us to take down Ms Knight’s article. To do this, as I have stated to you before, we need some proof that what she is saying is false, or at least documentation backing your claims, documentation that is better in quality and greater in quantity that that which she has on her site.

So far your rebuttals have employed plenty of ethos and pathos, but only meager amounts of logos. If the Universal Seduction team were a fickle group of people easily swayed by emotional arguments and reluctant to do research themselves, you might have won your case the first couple tries, but as stated before, we value truth over self-proclaimed credentials and infantile objections.

While we thank Mr Weidner for his theatrical input on the subject and respect his opinion, we do not find it coherent, logical, or convincing.

Bridges writes:
>And just how does one prove a

Of course no one can refute non-existent evidence, but you’re asking a faulty question based on the assumption that her evidence is non-existent. We’re asking you to show that it is indeed non-existent, not to refute non-existent evidence. Please untangle your logic before objecting with faulty questions…sometimes such twisted one-sided argumentation has the logical geometry of a mobius strip.

You asked how anyone could prove a negative. This is another misleading question, as all you have to do is disprove a positive via counter example. Also be reminded that as far as I can determine, Ms Knight has not claimed you to be a cointelpro agent, but has instead made many other ‘positive’ statements concerning your past actions, backed with convincing documentation, statements you have avoided addressing. Disprove her statements via counter examples, for this is what we mean by ‘documented proof’ we have repeatedly asked of you. Her documentation is on her site, and I do not need to show it to you because you can view it at her site — if you are blocked from viewing it, there are archived copies available on the web, or else some of your associates who are not blocked could send you the necessary documents. Just because you claim her evidence is non-existent does not mean it is just because you say it is. Logos, Mr Bridges, not ethos.

The Universal Seduction is indeed committed to truth. After having made considerable sacrifices of time (due to our fairness) to investigate your claims, we must conclude that the scant counter-examples and documented evidence you have provided, the contradictory and childishly sarcastic tone of Mr Weidner’s emails and letter, and the solidity of Ms Knight’s material in its entirety make it clear that the best course of action is to leave Ms Knight’s article up. You may post whatever rebuttals you wish on your site, but by our standards the one you have sent to us does not have sufficient counter-examples and documented proof to be considered ‘the other half of the story’ – fairness is about truth, not about 50/50 equal time, the latter concept being faulty when equal consideration is given to two sides, one of which may tell 90% truth and the other 10%, for example. It’s simple logic, really.

If, in the future, we do come across more evidence backing your claims, enough so to make it clear that Ms Knight is indeed the character you have painted her to be, we would gladly take her article down. Also, if she is legally forced to retract her statements and remove her articles, we would then remove it from ours as well. Truth reveals itself in time.

As it stands now, however, it is clear to us that her article deserves to stay up, and posting your weak rebuttal would be unnecessary to our site, and unfair to the truth.

Sincerely,
Ed Ghan
Universal Seduction

Bridges has further written in his public response to the information showing him to be a hacker and a thief:

Since we now know, thanks to the L’arkster’s timely posting of Jay Weidner’s confidential letters, that everything said about her here goes directly to her, let me address Laura directly: Why not post the rest of the story? Why not post Det. Breeden’s reply where he informs you in no uncertain terms that none of those IP match Ms [F***'s] IP?

Now, please note that in the above response from Mr. Bridges, he actually named the individual who was the victim of hacking and theft. However, I have removed this information, and it never appeared in the Weidner postings that Bridges refers to above. At least not in public. Of course, Mr. Weidner could have shared that information with Bridges. But we do think that it is significant that Bridges definitely knew who the victim was.

Also, we will gladly post Special Agent Breeden’s reply which was not precisely as Mr. Bridges claimed it to be in his above remarks. It was not stated that none of the IP numbers matched Ms. F***’s, but that definite proof was needed that could stand up in court that it was Bridges DOING the hacking. The hacking was clearly established, the trace route was clearly Ms. F***’s IP number range:

It is not illegal for him to post to a public guestbook on the web. I am missing how you have connected these contacts directly to him beyond reasonable doubt, which is what a jury requires. We investigate cases everyday where the suspect goes through other servers that have been left “open” which in effect masks their IP and allows them some degree of anonymity. So, that may be what he is doing, or it could be someone else who wants you to think it is him. I will be glad to talk to you again, but I still do not see the crime in this matter that FDLE would investigate.

And, it is in the fact that Mr. Bridges has, above, admitted that those posts were his, even though he lied about them all coming from his “earthlink” account, that we have more to provide as evidence. Also, the many posts that Mr. Bridges has made from other IP numbers as Special Agent Breeden describes above, can be compared to the times he might have been using Ms. F**’s internet access via a roaming number.

Further, it turns out that it is not true that the access of a roaming number cannot be traced. Stay tuned.

Bridges writes: Why did all this happen in February and you are just now getting around to making an issue of it? Could it be that the FDLE discovered that it was all a mistake, in fact a fabrication, on your part and told you to cool it?

As it happens, it is because determining jurisdiction and coordinating investigative activities and moving through the machinery of the legal system always takes time as most people know. Apparently, Mr. Bridges is unaware of these facts.

Bridges writes: What has happened on the case since February?

Sorry, but we are unable to say more at this time. All in good time, Mr. Bridges, all in good time.

Bridges writes: You know Laura, the more crap like this you pull, the more support you are giving my central thesis, that channelers have a kind of mental illness. But you really can stop anytime, I have all the evidence I need and you truly need serious professional help. So give it a break, nobody cares, nobody is listening. Go find some other researcher to grace with your dysfunction, please…

We notice, finally, that Mr. Bridges has done nothing but blame the victim and distract attention away from his lies and the fact that, again, he has produced no evidence to support a single one of his statements.

We come back again to Vincent Bridges statements quoted at the beginning of this article:

“As for therapy and being a therapist, that started with three years of therapy with Dr. Margaret McCoy, a Transactional Analysis psychologist. She turned me on to hypnosis, an old fascination, and I soon went from Ericsonian to NLP to holotropic breathwork and so on. [...] “Dr. Joan Essic … because of our work together on hypnosis introduced me to Ericsonnian” [...] “I studied with Milton Ericson years ago…”

What seems to be true is that Vincent Bridges learned to be a therapist because he was in psychiatric therapy. In other words, the lunatic has taken over the asylum!

Perhaps that explains all those “blank years” in his bio, and the lack of public records in his life? And, since we also know that the psychopath always accuses others of what he is guilty himself, perhaps Mr. Bridges is telling us something about himself when he says “you truly need serious professional help.”


So where are we in our search for the truth on Mr. Bridges? At this point, we have found no corroborative evidence for a single one of his claims. That does not mean we won’t, and we will continually update this article as information comes back to us. The people we have contacted have been people that Mr. Bridges claims to have worked with or known over the years. We have sent them direct quotations from Mr. Bridges and asked for their responses. Thus, they responded to the information we had, which came directly from Mr. Bridges. If Mr. Bridges would care to provide us with further information which would help to clarify matters, we would be happy to pass it on to the same individuals we have contacted.

At this point, we are drawing no subjective conclusions on what the above indicates and will wait for all requests for information to come in. Further inquiries are on the way. Each person who has worked on this project, however, has been surprised at the results thus far. We all expected to find at least verification on some of the claims and do not know what to make of the complete lack of it.

This situation also raises questions about the personality and judgment of the individual in question. How rational is it for someone with apparently so much to hide and so much to lose from public exposure of this nature to engage in “attack” tactics and criminal activities against others, given the inevitable consequences? One can only surmise it is extreme “wishful thinking” that blinds such a one so that they dismiss real risks and consequences in favor of the wished-for outcome. Or is this a case where the individual in question is not fully cognizant of “consensus reality” as most of us perceive it? It gives new meaning to the idea of creating your own reality. The only question is: do you earn points based on how many other people you can get to believe it?

If anyone can confirm or deny any of Mr. Bridges whereabouts or claims, please contact the owners of this website.

Vincent Bridges AKA “Dr. Strange”: New Age Grifter or COINTELPRO?

UPDATE 2008: After SIX YEARS of constant defamation and cyberstalking on the part of Vincent Bridges and his associates, the enormous amounts of time and even money that are spent on this activity, we suggest that it is time to state the obvious: Vincent Bridges is not just a cyberstalker, he is a paid COINTELPRO agent.

UPDATE 2003:- At the present point in time, Spring 2003, when the Quantum Future Group Websites are getting a “face lift,” there has been some discussion as to whether or not to retain this report and its related documents onsite. It has been, to understate the matter, somewhat controversial. It has also made us a target for ongoing attacks from the individuals discussed herein. It could so easily be deleted. Things certainly might be very pleasant if we did so as we have been told by the subject of the report.

But, the “easy way” is not always the right way.

As we discussed the matter of the “Bridges Dossier,” we realized that it was through the “lesson” and example of Vincent Bridges and friends that all of us were prepared to SEE through George Bush and his gang of warmongers as well as many other cyberstalking types.

The chief question we are concerned with is its value as a teaching tool. The Quantum Future Research Group members all agree that the dynamics of this “experience” did more to teach them about life in general than any other single process.


In order to understand this report, it is useful to read about Laura Knight-Jadczyk and her Cassiopaean experiment. As Laura has written, her interest in the paranormal and so-called “channeling” was purely scientific. Her background and extensive writings confirm this. She found the results of the experiment to be sufficiently interesting to publish on the net for discussion and feedback purposes. In fact, the source – declaring itself to be Laura in the future – had urged her to “network” via the internet. Following this direction was, in fact, the means by which she and her husband, physicist Arkadiusz Jadczyk, were brought into contact with one another. However, networking is problematical.

The internet is a double-edged sword. Not only does it offer the possibility for contact between like-minded individuals separated by vast distances and even belonging to different cultures, it also provides the opportunities for individuals of a predatory nature to seek out prey for any number of nefarious reasons. Never before have the possibilities of networking been so enhanced, and the dangers so prevalent.

In the case of Ark and Laura, there were certain safeguards in place. Ark was a prominent physicist in the European community with a public presence that could be easily verified. As Tom French wrote in his article in the St. Petersburg Times:

Ark seemed perfect for Laura. In fact, he seemed almost too good to be true. So I checked. I did not want to see Laura crushed into oblivion. I did not want to learn, six months down the line, that this soul mate of hers was actually a 14-year-old boy in Philadelphia, doing what any 14-year-old boy would be doing on the other end of the computer line. I asked one of the Times’ researchers to see if Arkadiusz Jadczyk was real. Indeed he was; in 1995, he had even won something called a Humboldt Award, which if I understood correctly, was a respectable achievement in the world of physics.

Ark had similar assurances about Laura. Not only had Mr. French spent over five years following Laura and her work, and was available for contact, Ark and Laura also had a mutual acquaintance – another physicist, Ruggiero Santilli.

In what seemed to be a similar situation, Vincent Bridges had certain “bona fides” published on the internet that assured Laura that he was who he said he was. What she did NOT consider was the fact that such bona fides were “manufactured.” It’s not only 14 year old boys on computers that we have to worry about. Anybody with a computer can claim anything they want to claim, create websites to “validate” their claims, and proceed to con anybody in any manner they choose.

Internet fraud generally refers to any type of fraudulent use of a computer and the Internet, including the use of chat rooms, email, message boards, discussion groups and websites, to conduct fraudulent activities. The attributes of internet technology – low cost, ease of use, and anonymous nature, among others – make it an attractive medium for fraudulent scams, child sexual exploitation, and increasingly, a new concern known as “cyberstalking.”

~~~

Vincent Bridges first wrote to Laura in the spring of 1999. Mr. Bridges claimed to be writing a book about subjects which Laura had been researching for some time – alchemy and Fulcanelli – and she willingly shared all her data and answered his questions while he wrote his book. When Laura later read the book, she was disappointed to note that not only was it a shallow and juvenile treatment of the subjects, but that Bridges had obviously been utilizing the information Laura had freely given to him to pad his book in a few areas, though clearly he had either misinterpreted her comments, or had deliberatly twisted them. The correspondence lapsed. (This correspondence is archived with all headers intact and is available to legitimate researchers upon request. You can read the letters online HERE.)

In response to the many questions and requests for more information from readers of the Cassiopaea site, in the spring of 2000, Laura began to write the Wave Series. This attracted even more attention, mostly positive, though it also attracted the personal attention of some extremely questionable groups and individuals. Laura received a mysterious email:

From: “Christaofer Richarde”
To: Laura Knight-Jadczyk
Subject:
Date sent: Tue, 11 Jul 2000 19:25:39 -0700

Oh, it is possible to even concoct the wanderings that you have concocted. Nevertheless, there is more to this story of Rennes, than meets the eye…as the king might say.

Laughed my way, wholeheartedly, through your article! Le Cercle would be most amused, in fact.

May Saturn husk hexagonal corn for you….. D-

Knowing that Vincent Bridges claimed to be an expert on “occult groups” from a journalistic perspective, Laura wrote to him to inquire what he thought of the above email. It was only later, after many other strange events transpired, that it was learned that Bridges, himself, had sent the above email with the hope that it would “re-start” the correspondence without him having to appear as the initiator. This is a typical tactic of the cyberstalker – to “create” seeming synchronicities so that the victim will be emotionally “ripe” for manipulation.

After a few exchanges, Bridges launched a discussion with Laura in which he claimed to be a struggling new publisher needing good authors – with an offer to publish her work and promote it with a “conference.”

Laura, overwhelmed with the task of keeping up with the research group, answering questions, editing and arranging the transcripts, researching clues from the material, and writing articles for the site, thought that Mr. Bridges was a godsend! Having “known” him in cyberspace for almost two years – including being aware of his “credentials” published on the internet that he had pointed to, as well as having a book in her hand that bore the imprint of his claimed publishing company – Laura felt she could trust him, and she turned over to him unpublished material, confidential materials that he suggested he would help to edit, and believing that her life’s work was in good hands, she settled down to concentrate on writing.

There were, of course, differences in opinion regarding the material and its possible interpretations between Ark and Laura and Vincent Bridges, but Laura was confident that, given time, Bridges would prove to be amenable to a more open-minded approach. As one observer of the dynamic noted succinctly: “If other people are so knowledgable about what Laura is doing so that they are qualified to pass judgment, then why aren’t they conducting their own successful “experiment?” Why haven’t their lives changed dramatically – and for the better – as Laura’s and Ark’s have because they have actually APPLIED the things they have learned?”

The fact is, Vincent Bridges did try his own “channeling” and the reader may like to have a look at a discussion between Dan Winter and “Dr. Strange” on the results. We were not impressed.

In the summer of 2001, Mr. Bridges came to visit Laura with the intent of attempting to hypnotize her to try to extract infomation that he believed she had in her subconscious. Laura cooperated with this experiment and, as a consequence, perceived a direct visual representation of Vincent Bridges himself! What she saw stunned her. His “mask” was so effective and convincing that Laura could hardly believe that what she was seeing was true. After all, this was not just a matter of deciding you didn’t like someone and didn’t want to associate with them for one reason or another. The fact was, Laura liked Vincent Bridges very much and had spent several enjoyable hours in conversation or correspondence with him.

Laura had many, many doubts about what she was seeing. It was actually painful to contemplate the necessary response to the understanding of Vincent Bridges’s nature and malefic intent toward her – if it were true. And, since Laura did not consider psychically received information to be reliable, she decided to make some tests.

Ark and Laura discussed the matter for weeks seeking hard data – evidence. It was not lacking, certainly, but it was always possible to “give the benefit of the doubt” and overlook the subtle clues. A hypothesis was formed, a series of tests were devised, and with dismay, Laura saw that Vincent Bridges failed every test of honesty and sincerity.

As mentioned above, Ark and Laura had agreed to speak at a conference Bridges had said he was organizing. At this point, knowing what they did about Bridges’s probably true intentions, they felt it was simply the best course of action to cancel the conference appearance and terminate any further business relations. Bridges had a number of other presenters lined up, and the cancellation was made more than six weeks in advance of the conference so there was no reason for this cancellation to produce any problems other than a change in schedule and perhaps a mild upset that is normal in any parting of the ways.

Ark and Laura were NOT prepared for the vicious and extreme attacks Vincent Bridges launched against them in public. Laura tried to understand it as “hurt feelings” – non-professional, certainly, but understandable – and even though she knew that they had done the right thing, and Bridges’s reactions actually proved his true nature, she still felt a great deal of sympathy for Bridges who obviously had his heart set on the money he could make, and the prestige he could achieve as their publisher and associate. It was certainly these two things he targeted particularly in his months and months of virulent slander and defamation against them: their reputations and consequently, their ability to earn their livelihood and support their family. It seemed as if Bridges had decided that if he could not “own” Laura and her material, he would make sure that no one else would ever be interested in approaching it or discussing it with her ever again.

Observing this behavior was astonishing. Vincent had seemed to be a truly civilized man – even a Renaissance man – and to witness and experience him acting like a street gang member or an uneducated guttersnipe, was truly puzzling to Laura. It was this puzzlement that compelled the questions that lead to this report.

On a practical level, Laura’s doubts about the matter were put to rest when the Quantum Future (formerly Perseus Foundation) research group undertook an investigation of Bridges – including a professional private investigator’s report – in the fall of 2001. To Laura’s chagrin, it was revealed that Bridges was little more than an ordinary con-artist. Not only was his entire published “resume” a complete fraud, he had a history of attaching himself to individuals – to ride on their coattails, so to say – in hopes of stealing their work, their money, or both.

Even though there was a history of fraud, Ark and Laura were reluctant to publish the report on Bridges. However, after three months of exhausting cyber-attacks including public defamation and cyberstalking, it became necessary to respond publicly. The results of the initial investigation were published on Thanksgiving Day, 2001.

Mr. Bridges reacted to the data presented in this report as expected: at all costs he wanted it removed, and since he could not force us to remove it legally, (according to U.S. statutes, truth is not libel or slander), he resorted to attempted blackmail and extortion to try to force us to remove this report.

We learned later that in addition to what we knew about his public activities, that Vincent was up to a lot more nefarious things behind the scenes. The reader may want to have a look at the data – including evidence – that Vincent Bridges was hacking into the computer of a member of our research groups and stole her passwords and used her internet account to the tune of about $800.00 over a period of three months . That’s a lot of bandwidth!

In January 2002, a former member of the Cassiopaea experiment, Frank Scott joined forces with Vincent Bridges to discredit the experiment, to label the members of the research group as members of a “cult,” obviously in a concerted effort to put an end to the experiment itself, to further destroy Ark and Laura’s reputations, and thus to deprive them of the means of earning their living.

Laura had to acknowledge the fact that two people she liked very much, whose companionship she had enjoyed immensely, and who she felt could have been the most marvelous of co-experimenters, were simply not what they had presented themselves to be. She had, in short, been victimized by individuals fitting the profile of the psychopath.

Day after day Laura struggled to make sense of what was happening in her life. She was heartbroken. Her health deteriorated rapidly, and in January of 2002 she suffered a life-threatening illness that was a direct result of the daily stress of being stalked, defamed, threatened and harassed.

After she had recovered enough to sit at her desk, Laura did the only thing she knew to do with what she had learned: she sought daily to understand the dynamic she had experienced and then, shared it with others by writing the Adventures Series, an account of the events and dynamics as well as the many threads of research she followed and the results.

As it turned out, Laura’s act of converting her suffering to sharing led to some of the most profound revelations brought forth in modern times regarding the nature of our reality. Seeking to understand the inexplicable perceptions and capacity for deception of Vincent Bridges, Frank Scott, and others involved in the attacks, Laura searched and probed and “tested” on the daily public stage of the internet. The search for answers led to revelations about psychopaths, a topic crucial to understanding history, religion, politics, and many other social constructs. This material found validation in the most interesting ways in terms of the work of Bob Altemeyer on the Right Wing Authoritarian personality type, not to mention some esoteric sources that emerged from the Eastern Orthodox tradition! Without this understanding, it would be almost impossible to comprehend the events on the World Stage, including the behavior of George Bush and his gang.

The Bridges Dossier

Vincent Bridges is a man who claims to have such extensive knowledge of conspiracy theory, mind control, Satanic ritual sex abuse, psychology and related subjects, that it seems amazing that he has not been assassinated by any of those people whose secrets he claims to hold. That, in itself, is a clue to the nature of his backers, though not the only one.

Bridges is one of many such individuals who have taken advantage of a special “market niche” in our reality – individuals who claims cannot be checked because they deal with an underworld of mystery – a field ripe for con-artists to move in, set up shop, and take advantage of a lot of people who have the idea that something strange is going on in our world – but that it is all hidden behind a veil.

In the time since the publication of this report, Vincent Bridges has altered his websites, changed his “bio,” and generally “cleaned up his act” in public.

Let us look first at the credentials of Vincent Bridges as they existed on the Laura Lee Website at the time Bridges began his correspondence with Laura.

From the Laura Lee website, these are Vincent Bridges’ claimed credentials:

Vincent Bridges currently practices a form of psycho-acoustic therapy, a trauma abreaction technique using light and sound entrainment of brain frequencies, in the Uwharrie Mountains of North Carolina.

His academic background includes (at the University of South Carolina and North Carolina) English, History and Classical Studies with graduate research into the Hermetic origins of the Renaissance; other fields of intensive research include: ancient cultures and their shamanic practices, the history of language, cultural anthropology, Egyptology with extensive research into the El-Amarna Era, comparative religion, mathematics and sacred geometry, brain physiology, psychology, theoretical physics and psycho-acoustic technology.

He is also a consulting geomancer or earth grid engineer and the Director of the Fifth Way Mystery School, an international group of Ophanic researchers.

Vincent’s background includes stints as a small town journalist, for the North Charleston News and the North Davidson Dispatch; rock critic for magazines such as Rolling Stone, Cream, Downbeat, Seventeen, and High Times; fiction in Isaac Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine, Hustler, Crescent Review and a novel, Walpurgisnacht from DAW Books (1981).

An initiate of many different spiritual traditions, including Voodoo, Sufism, Rosicrucianism and ceremonial magick, Vincent lives with his wife, the artist Darlene, and their four cats in a haunted yellow Victorian house on the edge of the Uwharrie National Forest.

Altogether, quite impressive qualifications, are they not? Mr. Bridges is an accomplished writer, scholar, and collector of various initiations. The question is, are these statements true?

A former group member, an English teacher at the University of Wisconsin, researched Mr. Bridges credentials through the databases available to the university where she is employed. She discovered that Mr. Bridges had none of the credits he claimed. She attempted to find references to his early work. She found none. Looking for his name among the publications he had listed in his publishing credits, nothing was found under the name Vincent Bridges. She announced this research to our group, and we were certainly surprised because until she started to “check up” on him, no one had ever seriously thought that his credentials might be faked. We all just took it as a given that he was who he said he was.

The same former member then began to question Bridges’s “educational” credits. Since she was in a position to check, Mr. Bridges responded to her that he had been very up-front with us about these matters. He later wrote the same in an email that he asked, at the end, to have “shared with as many people as possible.” In this email he wrote:

Laura has made much of my bio listing on the LL site and its supposed errors. If she had read through her old emails and inner group postings she will find that I’ve already told the story. I went off to USC, South Carolina, as an English major. I had a few awards in poetry and playwriting to my credit and had met James Dickey the summer before my freshmen year at a poetry conference. He liked me, I already knew how to drink, and he became my mentor that fall at school. With his help, I breezed through the undergraduate English courses on advanced studies and by my sophomore year had a major for myself in History and Theatre Arts, as it was quaintly called in those days.

We did read through all the old emails looking for a clue that he never claimed any degrees.

From one of the earliest, on Fri, 7 May 1999 he writes: “as far back as Grad school in the mid seventies.”

On Sun, 3 Oct 1999: “I switched from English to History, got out of undergraduate work and then went on to psychology… I went back to school, graduate work in Medieval History…”

On Fri, 20 Apr 2001: “In the winter of 1977 – 78, I was in grad school in History and Classical studies at UNC, working part time as a freelance writer, including books reviews, etc. for the Psychical Research Foundation at Duke, part of FRNM or the Rhine Foundation.”

Mr. Bridges is correct. He never claimed any degrees. However, he wrote in such a way as to imply them. After all, one does not go to “grad school” without having graduated. And he did, definitely state that he was in “grad school.” He later “explained” this to mean that he did “graduate level work.” But that is putting so fine a point on it that it begs the question: why would someone make their meaning so obscure that 99 out of a hundred people would miss the “catch?”

Since none of Vincent Bridges “credits” and credentials were checking out on the briefest of inspection, another member of the group undertook to ask Mr. Bridges for “his side of the story.” In the lengthy essay, chronicling his abuse at the hands of the members of the Cassiopaea group, he revealed that he had used several aliases in his writing career over the years. In his own words:

“…Two other points here: My novel and my credentials as a therapist. First of all, the DAW books list that I find on-line covers only backstock and doesn’t even go back to 1981. It is possible that there is another list I haven’t found that covers every title they’ve ever published.

“All I know is that DAW paid me a small advance for a book called Walpurgisnacht, by “Roland Maxwell” in 1980 and my sudden departure in 1981 left everything hanging. If by some chance they chose not to publish it, then that’s actually good news to me. That I used it at all on my bio is a sign of insecurity and I plan to take it out. Another sign of insecurity was my habitual use of pseudonyms, Victor Sutherland for music reviews, G. Richard Bozarth for science fiction, and so on.”

A quick check of the internet showed that Mr. Victor Sutherland was a dead character actor. Mr. G. Richard Bozarth certainly did appear as the author of a single story in Asimov’s Sci Fi magazine.

Mr. Bridges has earlier stated clearly that a book Walpurgisnacht, written by one of his “aliases” was published, that it “saw print, though in a heavily bowlderized (sic) form.” That does seem to suggest strongly that he actually laid eyes on his work. The story certainly has morphed when he says:

“All I know is that DAW paid me a small advance for a book called Walpurgisnacht, by “Roland Maxwell” in 1980 … If by some chance they chose not to publish it, then that’s actually good news to me. That I used it at all on my bio is a sign of insecurity and I plan to take it out.”

A “sign of insecurity?” I guess it does make people insecure when their claims don’t check out. And if he had any proof of writing it, instead of “taking it out,” why didn’t he just produce the evidence? Don’t authors usually memorialize their first book by copying the check? How about saving the contract? Questions, questions, questions…

Nevertheless, there was a listing of G. Richard Bozarth, and Victor Sutherland in an index! (Or so it was claimed.) What’s more, the explanation about Walpurgisnacht was now seen as reasonable by some who were taken in by poor Mr. Bridges’s charming and self-effacing way. We could all sleep well now. Mr. Bridges was just a tragic guy who needed real friends and supporters in his time of trial. It is utterly amazing how effectively psychopaths play the pity card.

And, so it was, in the course of reading the many posts by Mr. Bridges and his followers in order to find clues to understand his outrageous behavior, his stalking and relentless defamation of Laura and Ark, that Mr. Bridges’s entire life rose to the surface demanding answers.

How was it that a man could claim to be a “New Age Guru” and to make so many “sage” pronouncements and present himself as a “purveyor of love and light,” and be such a LIAR?

It wasn’t even just being a liar: it was the kinds of lies he told. The filth that poured out of his mouth and pen was shocking. Here we aren’t talking about differing opinions. We are talking about outright, objective lies. Lies about facts and dates and doings that were witnessed by a sufficient number of reputable people whose concensus was that Mr. Bridges either had to be stark raving mad – a delusional psychotic – or something very serious was going on.

Once the question about Mr.Bridges’s sanity was raised as a result of observing his behavior, the next question was, of course, how much of all the things he had EVER said before, the things we assumed to be true, actually WERE true?

Had something just suddenly happened to the man to make him go off the deep end?

How can a person lie so blatantly and viciously and not even think that anyone will notice, nor that anyone will bother to check?

Only a crazy person would lie that way with no concern for being exposed.

Examining a large selection of Mr. Bridges contradictory remarks about channeling, as well as numerous postings on the internet regarding same, even including some of his own claims to have channeled “Ophanic Intelligences,” and to have received profound “insights” of a dubious nature, we came to the realization that, again, something did not quite fit. Even an amateur could see that the material he “received” himself was highly questionable. It also raised the question as to why he undertook such a long process of insinuation into our group (an overview of his emails clearly indicates this process as is being revealed in the Adventures Series) if he had his “own source.”

Since he was claiming, by virtue of his extensive credentials, to be the expert of all experts on channeling, and having these enormous questions about his sanity being brought to the fore due to his actions, we decided to have a look at one or two of these claims in order to be better able to assess his condition.

Was he lying so boldly and viciously because he had simply gone crazy? Or had he been lying all along and were we now seeing the REAL Vincent Bridges?

What we are presenting here needs the caveat that we have used due diligence in gathering our information. We are making no claims, we are just reporting. Any other person who follows the same procedures we have will find the same things. We have undertaken to contact all of the parties listed in Mr. Bridges resume, as well as the many “notable” people he has mentioned in his many emails describing how he came by his expertise. Our initial inquiries were neutral.

After these initial neutral inquiries to determine if we were in contact with the appropriate parties, Mr. Bridges claims in regard to his interactions with the many and varied people have been forwarded to them for review and commentary. When the results came back, if necessary, we sent follow-up inquiries so that the individual checking the records would be apprised of all the particulars that needed to be checked. We wanted to be fair and to include all the different aliases Bridges had claimed to use in the event the person may have known him under a different name. We include here only the final results.

All contacts and emails have the transmission codes and headers on them, stored in several places so as to verify their original status. Any claims by Bridges that we “manipulated” the results can be shown to be false. However, we consider it to still be “open” that one or more of the respondents to our inquiries could have missed something or may even have an agenda to harm Mr. Bridges. If Mr. Bridges can provide certified true legal copies of any proofs that he has to back up his claims, we will be more than happy to investigate if they are genuinely certified, and if so, to publish them here.

[Note added July 2003: to date, Mr. Bridges has NOT produced anything to certify any of his prior claims. He has said that he "made two little mistakes on my bio," and that he has "apologized" but that we, here at QFS, refuse to acknowledge his contrition. Even though he has cleaned up his false claims from his websites regarding his credentials, its clear that Bridges continues to lie.

Bridges has produced a set of images showing that he was a contributor to several free advertising circulars in the area where he lives, but this in no way corrects his previous lies about his major publishing credits.

He has also had his friends post comments about his "writing credentials," stating that he has actually "published far more than he originally claimed." It should be noted that these "publications" consist of articles and posts on internet sites, forums and groups and in no way can be considered to address the issue of previous, falsely claimed, major publishing credentials such as we address in this report.]

Some of Mr. Bridges claims are in regards to people who are now dead, but we have expectations that the heirs, associates, and/or executors of estates will be able to answer our questions, and we have forwarded the relevant material to them with requests that they inquire of any and all concerned parties so as to discover if there is any possibility that the claims are true. We certainly want to deal with Mr. Bridges in a fair and objective way.

As it happened, the to-date return on his claims and credentials from the various parties contacted has been 100 percent negative.

We realize that the likely explanation that will be given by Mr. Bridges for this factor, taking into account his previous postings, will be that of a “conspiracy.” Somebody is “out to get him.” (Probably us.) They have “erased” his life. He is really the only one who “knows the truth” and somebody wants to destroy him and they are using us to do it. That was, after all, what Ira Einhorn claimed when the authorities found Holly Maddux’s mummified body in his closet. Curiously, Bridges once claimed an affinity for Ira.

“Just the facts, Ma’am, just the facts…”

In the late 1960′s there was a very popular American TV show about the Los Angeles Police Department called “Dragnet”. One of the lead characters, a terse and laconic Sgt. Joe Friday, became famous almost overnight for saying “Just the facts, Ma’am, just the facts…”. Anytime he would interview someone and that person would start to embellish his or her story, he would interrupt them and remind them to say – “Just the facts.”

What Joe Friday understood all too well was that whenever someone tells a story, they are giving their “interpretation” of the facts. The facts of a situation never change, but it’s crucial to understand that how they are perceived, and then spoken about, depends very much upon who is telling the story. But in the case at hand, we are not merely dealing with an “interpretation” of the facts, we seem to be dealing with an appropriation of facts to the use of a single individual who does not seem to be entitled to these facts.

Magicians are very popular these days. One only need look at the soon to be billionaire J.K. Rowling and her cottage industry of Harry Potter books, with their associated tie-ins to marketing companies’ dream lists of products that can be sold with the cache of her invented name. The Harry Potter movie alone is set to break all records and become the biggest grossing movie of all time. Harry Potter is a legitimate phenomenon and success story.

Which brings us to the antithesis of young Harry potter, and the subject of this report – Vincent Bridges.

Vincent Bridges: a real, honest-to-goodness magickal (with a “k”, gotta have a “k” in magick or the spell won’t work!) “Magician”, who practices his questionable art on the edge of the Uwharrie National Forest in North Carolina.

How do we know that Vincent Bridges is a real Magician? Well, he says so.

Vincent Bridges is the co-author, with Jay Weidner, of a book entitled “A Monument to the End of Time”. Due primarily to the authorship of this book, certain doors were opened to both Bridges and Weidner – an interview on the Laura Lee Show, an appearance on a Discovery Channel television program, and so on. This, along with the articles published on his own website, magicjourney.com, has given him a certain status in the New Age/occult/magic community. People look up to him. People go to him for advice. People go to him for hypnosis sessions. They go with him on trips to see the mysteries of Egypt and the secrets of Rennes-le-Chateau. They trust him, and they assume that he is who and what he says he is.

In addition to the credentials from the Laura Lee website, quoted at the beginning of this report, in an E-mail on Sun, 11 Feb 2001 19:29:46 -0500, (repeated later in a mass mailing) Vincent Bridges claims:

“I have been initiated into five different traditions. I hold a 3rd degree in traditional Wicca, I am a Christian minister of a gnostic and non-demoninational variety, and I am one of the highest ranking initiates of anything that passes for the Golden Dawn, also I have the barakah of the founder of the Abu Al Hagagg Sufis of Luxor Egypt and I am part of the Medicine Buddha and Kalachakra lineage of Tibetan Buddhism as well as a terton or terma treasure holder, of the Nyngma-pa tradition.”

Altogether, quite impressive qualifications, are they not? Mr. Bridges is an accomplished writer, scholar, and collector of various initiations. The question is, are these statements true? Well, let’s see what we can find out.

We’ll begin with the easiest claim to check, the writing. We know that he and Jay Weidner did, in fact, publish “A Monument to the End of Time.” Not only that, but we are told that Vincent Bridges is a real honest-to-goodness published writer even before this book. How do we know? Well, he says so.

On Fri, 20 Apr 2001 10:58:57 -0400, regarding the book Walpurgisnacht, Mr. Bridges had written:

In a very weird way, I was sort of assigned to write a novel about Aleister Crowley, Hitler and the more unsavory aspects of WWII’s black magick. I was paid for it, although it took until 1981 to see print, and then in a heavily bowlderized form. To do this, I was “given” access to every bizarre Nazi document in existence. One of my friends in the group even got me access to the archives in Washington to look up certain strange practices of the SS. Again, I didn’t question any of this, it just happened, so go with the flow, don’t think too much, have a good time.

We are going to ignore the questions about being given access to archives of bizarre Nazi documents because we simply have no way of investigating such a claim. So let’s look at this novel, “Walpurgisnacht”. Daw Books still exists, and in contradiction to what Mr. Bridges notes above about their list of books, the on-line list goes back to their beginning. None of Mr. Bridges’ aliases was listed in their on-line directory of published works, recent or otherwise. But that doesn’t negate the possibility that they made arrangements with him to publish the book (as indicated by his statement above about receiving an advance) but never published it. If an advance was paid, accounting records would still indicate it. So we wrote directly to Daw and asked if they had ever published or contracted for anything written by any one of the known aliases. The following reply was received from them:

Thank you for checking this with us. According to our records, we have never had any contract with Mr. Vincent Bridges (under the “Roland Maxwell” pseudonym, or any other) for any title. Nor have we ever published any novel titled Walpurgisnacht. Mr. Bridges claims of a business relationship with DAW Books appear to be false.

UPDATE!

Mr. Bridges has explained the fact that DAW books denies any business relationship in the following:

[RE:}Walpurgisnacht. I have found several drafts and pieces of the project in the vault, and have had my memory jogged by another friend who was directly involved. There are several points to consider:

1) The novel was written under strange circumstances. My syndication agent had arranged with DAW for the books publication under our current work for hire contract as the idea was to produce a series of occult Nazis science fiction written by a classic pulp house pseudonym "Roland Maxwell." The company essentially bought my research and hired me to rough out the first novel in the series. I received nothing from DAW, and even if the deal had gone through, I would have received nothing directly from DAW. I was paid by the syndication agency.

2) Since my life and my sanity was on the line at that particular point, it is not too surprising that I have forgotten some of the details, particularly those that happened after I retreated to NC. At that point, I wanted as much distance as possible from everyone in my former existence.

3) Walpugisnacht was my working title. The Astral Reich was the proposed series title and this was to be Walpugisnacht in the Astral Reich. One of the major problems was that everyone hated the title. So, I over wrote and turned out a novel that didn't make anyone happy. The series was due to kick off in 1981, but naturally didn't. In October of 1982, the syndication agency paid me off for my work on the project and I signed a release for all rights. First novel fiasco indeed! So, as I said, I never should have mentioned it to begin with without looking up in my own files what had happened to it. I will now stop to wipe the serious egg off my face...

DAW has responded to this "morphing" of the story as follows:

Dear Ms. Knight-Jadczyk:

Thank you for forwarding the additional information from Mr. Bridges. [...]

I can state with absolute certainty that DAW has never signed any agreements with any syndication agencies, nor (and more importantly) would DAW ever publish any books featuring Nazis. DAW was, in fact, founded by a Jewish family, and this policy has existed for 30 years.

It is possible, of course, that Mr. Bridges did work for some syndication agency at that time, and that they mislead him regarding a publishing arrangement with DAW. However, DAW maintains that we have no business ties with Mr. Bridges.

If I can be of any further assistance, please let me know.

(We have other inquiries out on this. Stay tuned.)

What of his claim that he wrote science fiction under the name G. Richard Bozarth which was published in Asimov’s magazine? Well, there is, in fact, a writer named G. Richard Bozarth, and he is a published writer. He did publish a science fiction story in Asimov’s magazine. The problem is, he’s not Vincent Bridges.

Luckily, Asimov’s has a long record of just about everyone that has ever worked with our magazine.

I don’t have any records for anyone named Vincent Bridges. However, I do have paperwork stating that a man named G. Richard Bozarth had a story titled “Bat Durston, Space Marshal” in our Sept/Oct 1978 issue.

This story was also optioned for inclusion in a paperback anthology of ours that never was published. I do have signed contracts for Mr. Bozarth which include his address (as of 1978, of course).

All I can recommend now, is that you get in contact with the Owlswick Literary Agency. Our original editor from that time period, George Scithers, is now a very active agent there. The assistant editor at the time (Darrell Schweitzer) is George’s partner at Owlswick. You might want to jog their memories about Bozarth.

Please don’t hesitate to email me if you require any further information.

It occurred to me that making you wait for s-mail to deliver my letter wasn’t required for anything, so attached is that letter. I’ve also attached my publishing history. I have copies of all the stuff, so they really do exist. It would be amusing to discover why this other “G.

If he insists I’m the one who stole his by-line, I have copies of correspondence that go back to the early 70s when I was still in the Marine Corps that shows I’ve been using the name for a lot longer than he is currently claiming to use it. I began using the name in high school because I never liked “George” and have liked “Richard”. Using “G. Richard Bozarth” for my by-line was inspired by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Let me know if I can be of further help. It’s very foolish to tell this kind of lie without thoroughly checking to see if “G. Richard Bozarth” has been busy as a writer in other ways than the commercial one

Let’s turn to the academic claims. How do we know that Vincent Bridges is a real honest-to-goodness Academic? Well, he says so. To review, at Laura Lee’s website, he presents his Academic credentials thusly:

His academic background includes (at the University of South Carolina and North Carolina) English, History and Classical Studies with graduate research into the Hermetic origins of the Renaissance; other fields of intensive research include: ancient cultures and their shamanic practices, the history of language, cultural anthropology, Egyptology with extensive research into the El-Amarna Era, comparative religion, mathematics and sacred geometry, brain physiology, psychology, theoretical physics and psycho-acoustic technology.”

As we have noted at the beginning, Mr. Bridges pointed out that he had never claimed to have graduated from anywhere. He stated that he did “graduate level work.” However, it was pointed out that he did say “grad school” and not just “graduate level work,” so the story morphed again. Here it is:

I went off to USC, South Carolina, as an English major. I had a few awards in poetry and playwriting to my credit and had met James Dickey the summer before my freshmen year at a poetry conference. He liked me, I already knew how to drink, and he became my mentor that fall at school. With his help, I breezed through the undergraduate English courses on advanced studies and by my sophomore year had a major for myself in History and Theatre Arts, as it was quaintly called in those days.

There was scholarship money available from an alumni organization for an overseas work study in Shakespeare, and with Mr. Dickey’s help I designed an essay that was sure to win the scholarship award. It did, and winter quarter 1972, I was off to Oxford for a six week Shakespeare intensive, and then another six weeks working on the crew at the Shakespeare Festival at Stratford. It was a dream deal, and if all had gone as planned, I would be an academic today, a Shakespeare scholar, maybe even that doppelganger in Kansas. But it didn’t.

Well, what can I say? It was 1972, I was 19 with an extremely high IQ and an opinion of myself to match. I had never gone anywhere completely on my own. My only comparable adventure was a senior class drama trip to New York, but even that was as part of a group. When I hit the airport in New York, and had to ride the bus to change airports, etc. I was truly overwhelmed.

And so, in the passenger lounge of British Airways, I fell in love. Her name was Suzy, French Canadian from Montreal on her way to Paris and then Lyon and Provence to visit relatives. We talked as we waited and then, by arrangement of a tricky universe, we had seats next to each other all the way to London. As we parted at customs, she gave me her phone number and address in Paris and told me she didn’t really have to be in Lyon for a week or so.

I barely remember the train up to Oxford, but I came down hard when I found the right college. So hard, I immediately found the bursar and conned him into cashing my scholarship check and then letting me leave without paying out my tuition. By the next morning, I made a brief excursion to see Stonehenge, I was on the plane to Paris.

A week later, when Suzy left for Lyon, I was broke and brokenhearted. I ended up in Amsterdam where four months later I was arrested and given a quick trip home by the State Department. Seems that my parents and the University had been looking for me.

The upshot of this sorry story is that the English department no longer wanted me, even after I gave the money back. I switched to History, and with the aid of a friendly faculty member put together a degree, BA in History and Classical Studies. Unfortunately, the degree was mostly bogus. I did very little of the work, my faculty member friend simply enrolled me in the classes I needed, and in December 1973, I officially graduated.

Now, I don’t condone this kind of behavior, and I am not proud of it. But I was young, and it seemed the best way to get away from Columbia and USC. So I did it. After a few years’ break in which I wrote rock’n'roll reviews, I applied to graduate school in Classical Studies at UNC. My degree held up, and the Classics department was so hungry for new blood that they accepted me with very little hassle. After a few semesters I realized that the academic life was truly not for me. (Later, I found out that my degree had been invalidated when a new computer system revealed the inconsistencies. So it goes…)

An offer to study magick came up and that led to my exposure to Enochian and eventually to a realization that something was very rotten about the set-up. I retreated to North Carolina, went to work for the Shakespeare festival, went into therapy and so on.

The above is all well and good, and we expect the final word any day not only as to whether Mr. Bridges ever graduated, but whether he ever attended classes, and if so, what. We will update this article when the information comes back. In the meantime, let’s look at a couple of interesting items in the above account.


UPDATE! We have received verification that Vincent Bridges did, in fact, attend USC, but that he dropped out in January of 1972. He did not, apparently, return to put together any degree as claimed. There was no further attendance by Vincent Bridges at USC as he has claimed, with or without a degree of questionable validity being awarded. We are still awaiting the return from UNC and will post the results when they arrive.

What about his claim to be a protege of James Dickey by virtue of his ability to drink liquor?

Unfortunately, James Dickey has passed away. But he left behind an organization called The James Dickey Society, a group of academics, many of whom worked with him and knew him well, as well as other scholars who study his work.

I’ve never heard of Vincent Bridges or any of the other names mentioned in this email. Mr. Dickey arrived at the University of South Carolina in 1968. Some of the more specific details might confirm more about Mr. Bridges, such as his sojourn at UNC. Also, his “few awards in poetry and playwriting” before attending USC are or should be facts that can be substantiated. Very interesting.

Back to Mr. Bridges’ academic statement:

…winter quarter 1972, I was off to Oxford for a six week Shakespeare intensive, and then another six weeks working on the crew at the Shakespeare Festival at Stratford. It was a dream deal, and if all had gone as planned, I would be an academic today, a Shakespeare scholar…

The officials at Oxford were highly amused by this tale. Here is the response:

From: “David Collins”
Sent: 19 November 2001 01:47
Subject: Re: Student Enquiry

Your Mr Bridges/Bozarth/Maxwell/Sutherland clearly has a fertile and highly-coloured imagination but no knowledge of the University of Oxford, as indeed we have no knowledge of him. Such a career as he describes would be impossible: undergraduate teaching in Arts subjects is not departmentally-based but directed by a college tutor and degrees are awarded on performance in public examinations not by credit-accumulation: undergraduate fees are paid via the college not the department and undergraduate students are admitted and permitted to change courses by their college: it is not possible to obtain a B.A. degree without a minimum of two- years residential study even when exemption from the First Public Examination has been granted on the grounds of previous academic attainment elsewhere. None of this would seem to apply to Mr Bridges.

Oxford Colleges do sometimes rent out their accommodation to organisations who are in no way part of the University so that those organisations may hold summer schools, and of course Shakespeare is a popular topic and Oxford is conveniently placed for visiting Stratford. Persons attending such summer schools are not members of the University or the college and so we would have no records of attendance.

However his chronology renders even this possibility suspect as “the winter quarter” would coincide with the first term of our academic year when the colleges would be fully occupied with their own students.

An American graduate would not be able to walk in off the street and gain admission to ANY college, and any Bursar’s first concern is to secure the college and University fees, not to cash cheques. There is an Oxford Colleges’ Admissions Office and an application to read for a Second BA degree would have to have been made the previous Autumn, references taken up and a formal offer made.

Perhaps he hoped to get round such checking as yours by his statement that his degree had been invalidated after discovery by a computer system. However it would not have removed his name from official records so completely that I can find no trace at all even in pre-computer records which were in use in the 1970′s, and as the officer who has run our central computer records for the past twenty years I know of what I speak.

In other words: there is no record of Vincent Bridges at Oxford where one would certainly exist even if only in the accounting offices. And the comment about any Shakespearean intensive being held at any of Oxford’s colleges during winter quarter is quite telling.


There are a couple other items in the above account by Mr. Bridges that deserve comment.

“And so, in the passenger lounge of British Airways,”

There probably was no BA passenger lounge in the States back in 1972. In the UK yes, plenty of them, much less so abroad.

“When I hit the airport in New York, and had to ride the bus to change airports, etc. I was truly overwhelmed.”

Yet later, in Oxford, he is able to make a lightning trip to Stonehenge and make the morning flight out of Heathrow as follows:

“By the next morning, I made a brief excursion to see Stonehenge, I was on the plane to Paris.”

Our investigator in UK has commented on this as follows:

“Imposible wthout a car. To get to Stonehenge you have to travel cross country from Oxford by train, necessitating a change or two, then a bus. Then, to get to the airport, another bus, train with a change or two or three and the underground tube line to Heathrow airport. Can’t be done in a morning! Not in a million years. If you set off from Oxford at 8 am, did stonehenge for an hour, you would not be at Heathrow until evening.”

“A week later, when Suzy left for Lyon, I was broke”

Now “Suzy” had a place to stay in Paris, as she told Vincent. Now how on earth can you go broke in a week spending twelve week’s worth of scholarship money and expenses? Were they staying at the George Cinq? Were they dining at the Ritz every night? The Moulin Rouge after?

“and brokenhearted. I ended up in Amsterdam where four months later I was arrested”

So Vincent is broke after five days in Paris and survives four months without funds in Amsterdam? And just why was he arrested? Funds gathering, perhaps?

“and given a quick trip home by the State Department.”

We are still investigating this point, but so far, what we have learned suggests that this scenario is impossible because if you are deported, first you have to serve your arrest sentence. If no sentence to be served, the State Dept. would not bail you out unless you were completely destitute, and even then we find it hard to believe. They do do it, and you are made to sign a chit that you will pay back the fare. No, Vincent’s parents, guardians, or friends would have had to spring for the ticket home, not the State Dept. We expect that this will be the new variation on the story.

The remainder of this episode stretches credulity beyond the breaking point. So far, Mr. Bridges has tossed a chance at Oxford (according to him), stolen money from the university, gone on the lam for four months in a foreign country, is brought back in disgrace and all he says is this:

“The upshot of this sorry story is that the English department no longer wanted me, even after I gave the money back.”

Did they (the “University”) press charges? Without major family money or position, this scenario would never play out. And if there had been any money to begin with, there would have been no need for the scholarship, or the purported theft of the scholarship money, or the four months in Amsterdam living, we presume, on the streets.

“I switched to History, and with the aid of a friendly faculty member put together a degree,”

After all that went before? People stuck their neck out for him, and he shafted them, and now he says someone else just liked him so much and felt so sorry for him that it was done again? Seems highly unlikely. Unless it was the Dickey effect, again.

BA in History and Classical Studies. Unfortunately, the degree was mostly bogus.”

No kidding. Well, until further information is received, we will leave this most interesting period of Mr. Bridges career.

The reader now has an idea of what a great writer Mr. Bridges is. Over the past year, Mr. Bridges entertained and entranced the members of the Quantum Future research and discussion group with his fantastic stories of encounters from his past, stories which were intended to convey a deep knowledge of, and first-hand experience dealing with far-reaching conspiracies, mind control, and Satanic sexual abuse. Unfortunately, some cannot be checked, as the main stars are quite dead. But not all.

For example:

In the winter of 1977 – 78, I was in grad school in History and Classical studies at UNC, working part time as a freelance writer, including books reviews, etc. for the Psychical Research Foundation at Duke, part of FRNM or the Rhine Foundation. A lady came through town doing psychic readings and the PRF picked her up as part of the team.

[We are waiting for the reply from FRNM at Duke.]

She however was obviously looking for talent, and definitely not interested in Bill Roll’s return to Amityville kind of trip. To make a long story much shorter, we became acquainted and before she left she gave me a letter from a guy in California and a list of phone numbers.

[We have covered the bases. Dr. Roll has received an inquiry also.]

The letter was an ego stroke offer to go study magick, all expenses paid. My freelance rock’n'roll journalist career was in a slump, grad school was going nowhere, and frankly I missed San Fran and the high life. I bit, big time.

At first, everything was great. My career took off because they knew everybody in the business. The magickal training was great too. I was learning and experiencing faster than I had dreamed possible, and for a sensation junkie like me, this was heaven. Suddenly, my proposed thesis on the origin of the Tarot cards looked academic and tame. These people had real power and the information to back it up. Somehow, stupid me, I never thought to ask what the pay off would be.

By the summer of 1979, my basic magickal training was over and other subjects and tasks started coming up. In a very weird way, I was sort of assigned to write a novel about Aleister Crowley, Hitler and the more unsavory aspects of WWII’s black magick. I was paid for it, although it took until 1981 to see print, and then in a heavily bowlderized form. To do this, I was “given” access to every bizarre Nazi document in existence. One of my friends in the group even got me access to the archives in Washington to look up certain strange practices of the SS. Again, I didn’t question any of this, it just happened, so go with the flow, don’t think too much, have a good time.

When my research was done and a rough version of the book was circulating to publishers, I had the pleasure of a visit by the head man in the Order. This guy is still around, going by the alias of Dr. Christopher Hyatt of Falcon Press. I become one of his main magickal student flunkies, and for the next six months or so I did nothing but follow him around through one bizarre episode after another. The most interesting of which was international drug and gun running. I kept thinking: This is gonna make a great movie/novel one day. To which a small voice would reply: if you survive.

After a couple of epics, including one where I made the run to Mexico and back on my own, I was invited out one evening to go sailing with the boss and some very special friends who had things they wanted to discuss with me.

So, here we are, in a large sail boat drifting off Sausalito on a warm August night. Just as I’m thinking that my life has turned into a gangster movie and I don’t even like guns, the boss and his friends come on deck. They own the boat, and a stranger pair of rejects from the Addams clan I’ve never seen. He’s had hair transplants done to give him an exaggerated widows peak, and she’s in full aging Mortitia drag. Indeed, when we came on board, I thought she was a drag queen.

We chit-chat for a while. They introduce themselves as Michael and Lillith, and we talk about magic, Crowley, Nazis and a variety of such subjects for the better part of an hour. Testing me, is what I thought at the time. And then, smoothly, the conversation shifts.

It happened so smoothly, I didn’t notice it, but suddenly the question were no longer academic, but personal. Did I believe this…hadn’t I experienced that…didn’t I understand the other…etc.

I remember the chill to this day. A warm still night, and even through my jacket it felt like the cold of outer space. That jolted me somehow, and I started asking questions. And I didn’t like the answers.

Highly condensed, here’s what they told me: (Keep in mind that it is THEIR belief system.)

The earth and everything on it is the property of a higher dimensional being who is on its way back to claim it. Our only choice is controller or slave, but those who choose to serve will be rewarded. This has been in the works for a thousand years and will soon reach fruition, in the next 20 years or so. The Nazis were part of it, but incomplete. Now, they’d get it right.

Stunned, I wanted to know how they thought I fit in. They said that I was being offered the chance to become a conscious operator with my pick of the New Age infiltration projects. Only hitch, I’d have to undergo my initiation, which in simple terms involved doing something so disgusting and illegal as to make my participation in simple smuggling look tame.

I blanched, and they reminded me that I was already in pretty deep.

No shit. Well, finally scared back to my senses, I said I needed to think about it, but yeah I’d play along. That made them happy and we spent a few perverse hours discussing orgies before I got off the boat.

I left the next day for a UFO conference back in Tuscon, literally shaking in my boots. I had been to the very edge of the pit, and I wasn’t sure if there was a way to get out. I avoided them and the issue until October, when I got fired from my job. Without telling anyone, I hopped on a bus and escaped to North Carolina. By the time Hyatt found me, eight or nine months later, I was too deeply entrenched to remove easily. I played drug causality and pretended not remember anything and I suppose that helped. Anyway, they left me alone after that.”

Well, there are two rather well-known names in this story. Dr. Michael Aquino is the executive director of the Temple of Set in San Francisco, an offshoot of the Church of Satan. He is also its founder. Lilith is his wife. He’s pretty well known. But, as it happens, Dr. Aquino was a young guy working on his Ph.D. at the time the above events were said to be happening. “Full aging Mortitia drag?” (sic) We sent the above story to Dr. Aquino and asked for his input. This is his reply (not that we think he is a paragon of truth and virtue either, by the way!):

“Vincent Bridges, Jay Weidner, G. Richard Bozarth, Roland Maxwell, Victor Sutherland.”

I have never known nor had contact with persons of any of these names.

“He’s had hair transplants done to give him an exaggerated widows peak, and she’s in full aging Mortitia drag. Indeed, when we came on board, I though she was a drag queen.

“We chit-chat for a while. They introduce themselves as Michael and Lillith, and we talk about magic, Crowley, Nazis and a variety of such subjects for the better part of an hour.”

No such incident has even taken place with anyone by any name. I have never owned any boat, nor been on anyone else’s around Sausalito, nor had any hair transplants for that matter.

Michael A. Aquino


In a a follow-up email, Mr. Bridges “story” as follows was included for comment:

An old friend that I knew had intelligence connections called me up with a strange story. He thought that if anybody might have a clue what was going on, it would be me. A friend of his wife’s, going back to Pentagon days, had gone crazy and started accusing everyone of being a satanist and under mind control. Her husband had had to take their kids away from her and she was on the run, calling them from phone booths along the highway. Could I help?

She called me the next day from a phone booth in Maryland, and we talked enough to convince her that I would take her story seriously. So she hopped in her car and drove straight through to Winston-Salem. She got to my office around six and we talked to midnight, when she left to hide somewhere, she wouldn’t say where or how, and then came back the next day and talked for another four hours or so. Then she got in her car and left. I never saw her again, alive.

What she told me was so bizarre that at first I figured it had to be a plant. They wanted to see what I’d do with such stuff, and then flatten me when I used it. And remember, this was 1993, pre X-files… She had been in the Program since the mid-50s, what she called the “Stepford Wives” division. Girls with looks and good grades from selected backgrounds were fast-tracked to prep schools and finishing schools, where they received some basic programming, and then “sold off” to Intel and other government types as wives. Many of them ended up married to NASA geeks for the sole purpose of spying on them. Early on, she figured out the game and played along until her handlers discovered she was virtually immune to hypnotic programming. That earned her truly special attention.

The issue of hypnotic immunity was the fly in the ointment for the larger reaches of the program. If a significant number of citizens were flatly immune to your best efforts, then mass control was unlikely. Somebody would always resist. So this poor lady became a guinea pig for the full range of Program experimentation. They learned that while she couldn’t be successfully programmed, she could be broken. She was put back into circulation, while her pregnancies were monitored and genetically tampered with, causing mis-carriages and abnormal births. Two children survived, both boys, one 13 and the other five in 1993. They had been experimented on since the day they were born, and the eldest, like his mother, was resistant. The youngest however was something else, perhaps literally.

And here’s where all the threads of our story converge on the Gordian knot nexus point of maximum weirdness. When they wanted her for something, she simply hit her up with drugs to knock her out and did it to her. However, over time, she developed a tolerance for the drugs and would be half awake for the last few hours of whatever. And so she woke up one night in 1987 to find herself having sex with something that looked like a cross between Night on Bald Mountain and an iguana. She freaked and a group of people held her down while “it” finished. Several of the people she remembered enough to identify. One was her husband, another was Michael Aquino.

In a message dated 11/18/01 6:58:26 PM, you write:

This book was supposed to have been the result of research that was funded and promoted by an implied association between yourself and a Dr. Christopher Hyatt.

I have never funded/promoted any research by anyone else. Dr. Christopher Hyatt is a real person; I think he is associated with New Falcon Publications, which has a website, so you might be able to contact him that way. I do not have a personal address for him, as the two of us have never met nor had any contact.

“… She freaked and a group of people held her down while “it” finished. Several of the people she remembered enough to identify. One was her husband, another was Michael Aquino.”

In addition to never meeting anyone on a boat off Sausalito, I have never held anyone down either!

Mr. Bridges claims that Dr. Hyatt was his “mentor and teacher” of all things magickal and that he is the “Highest degree recognized adept in the various Golden Dawn traditions …

The Golden Dawn was a turn-of-the-century (1890s-1910s) British Rosicrucian society – law-abiding and reasonably respectable. Today there are a few revivalist G.D.s around, and I think that Hyatt is involved with one or more of them. Again, you’d have to ask him about that, and whether he knows anything about this Bridges character.

I’d recommend contacting them directly and asking them. Just about every group has a website these days, or is at least referenced by other websites.

I’m a Political Scientist (Ph.D. UC Santa Barbara, 1980) :-)

Sincerely,
Michael A. Aquino


And what of the other person mentioned in Mr. Bridges’ story, Christopher Hyatt? Mr. Bridges teacher and mentor? Dr. Hyatt is the editor-in-chief of New Falcon Books. They, too, have an extensive website. In response to an inquiry sent to Dr. Hyatt, the following was received:

Reply-to: info@…

Thanks so much for the info.

No one here (including Dr. Hyatt) recognizes any of these names. As you might surmise, we find this situation very disturbing, particularly because the material he sent you includes some extremely defamatory statements. Apparently this individual knows enough specifics about Dr. Hyatt (e.g., that he likes to sail) to have woven a modicum of truth into a rather bizarre, fictional tale. This suggests to us that he may have been acquainted with us, though perhaps only peripherally, at one time or another.

We are surmising that ALL of the names he gave you are aliases. If you have any info on where he claims to live, this might give us a better clue to his true identity. And we’d appreciate any other info you may have on him.

We are curious about one other thing: from what you’ve said we take it that you have not been able to verify much (anything?) of his bio?

Perhaps we shall be able to deal with this mystery together.

Warmly,
Nick Tharcher


We would like to point out that, in the above case, though Dr. Hyatt does own a boat, in Mr. Bridges account, Dr. Aquino owns the boat. “…the boss and his friends come on deck. They own the boat…” So, indeed, we do have “facts,” but rather than being “interpreted” they are “appropriated” – and not very accurately, as it seems. In response to a follow-up letter.

Again, we wish you the best and, should our name pop up in this mess again, we would appreciate your letting us know.

UPDATE!

The following are real publishing credits of Vincent Bridges. They are not precisely along the line of his claims, but he has dug them up and provided evidence.

Keep in mind that Vincent Bridges publishes on the internet, on his own website and on the websites of his friends. He has also had some modest input in other internet publications, all of which he claims are proof that this report is a “smear job.”

Well, we are not questioning what he has done since his appearance on the Laura Lee show – just what he used to launch himself on the stage of “expert status,” all of which was false.


Following is a chronology put together from Vincent Bridges’s own statements, a few comments from others who knew where he was and what he was doing. He sure does get around! He’s a regular Doug and Dave of occultism and expert status!


1966- I may have mentioned that my early exposure to all of this was through a group of exiled leftist writers (John Dickson Carr was probably the best known) living in Greenville SC of all places. They were also keen Theosophist and that’s where I first stumbled onto Burgoyne and the HBofL material. Not unusual, they had everything, including a bound collection of the Proceedings of the SPR. I was their mascot writer wanna-be from age 14 through college and later in some cases. Along the way, I met many people who only later when I watched the movie Reds did I realize were famous. One of these guys was an actor leftist science fiction writer by the name of Fritz Leiber.

1971 – In the early 70′s, I spent some time at Eckard College/Florida Presbyterian and the adjacent St. Pete beach. I still have nightmares about SS check day at that huge department store downtown.

1971 -In 1971, at Fla. Pres. College, now I think it is Eckard University, out at St. Pete Beach, a group of us experienced repeated UFO sightings, and some other rather strange experiences, as well as the most overwhelming sense of evil and imminent destruction that I have ever felt. Then again, a decade (1981?) later in the aftermath of the Greensboro debacle, Reagan’s election and the YIPie fiasco at the inauguration I was conned into coming to Clearwater for a vacation that resulted in my being arrested for burglary. After a week in the Pinelas County jail, my family managed to get the charges dropped. I guess I had more resources than they figured, because the rest of my friends from that period are either dead or still in jail on various charges.

1972 – winter quarter 1972, I was off to Oxford for a six week Shakespeare intensive, and then another six weeks working on the crew at the Shakespeare Festival at Stratford. … 1972, I was 19 with an extremely high IQ (that would mean he was born in 1953, not 52 since his birthday is in May. ) I ended up in Amsterdam where four months later I was arrested and given a quick trip home by the State Department.

1972 – Between 1972 and 1976, I read everything, and I do mean everything, that had anything at all to do with what I thought was my quest. I went back to school, graduate work in Medieval History, and by 1978 was sure I had figured it all out.

1973 – December 1973, I officially graduated

1977-78 In the winter of 1977-78, I was in grad school in history and classical studies at UNC, working part time as a freelance writer, including books reviews, etc, for the Psychical Research Foundation at Duke, part of FRNM of the Rhine Foundation. … Grad school in the mid seventies[...] I switched from English to History, got out of undergraduate work and then went on to psychology … Left to pursue magickal studies.

1978 – I met a group of “magickal” folk who were looking for a guinea pig. My freelance rock’n'roll journalist career was in a slump, grad school was going nowhere, and frankly I missed San Fran and the high life. Like a fool, I signed on. Three years later (1981) I fled to North Carolina with my sanity hanging by a thread.

(Where did San Francisco and the “high life” come from?)

1979 – By the summer of 1979, my basic magickal training was over I was sort of assigne to write a novel about Aleister Crowley, Hitler and the more unsavory aspects of WWIIs black magick. I was paid for it, although it took until 1981 to see print, and then in heavy bowdlerized form. To do this, I was “given” access to every bizarred Nazi document in existence. One of my friends in the group even got me access to the archives in Washington to look up certain strange practices of the SS.

1980 – Back in 1980, I had the opportunity to follow around the UFO researcher who had first broached the whole Hanger 18 thing, Ray Fowler, for the Whole Earth people. They wanted proof of a gov. cover-up, but all I found after 3 months was that Fowler had been part of some gov. experiment, but it looked more like a Psy-Op project. I wrote the story, from the point of view that the aliens may or may not be real, but some portion of the gov. is going out of its way to make us think that they are. Needless to say, the Co-Evo Quarterly, spin- off of Whole Earth that commissioned it, refused to print it. I stood my ground, refused to re-write and change conclusions, and so got fired. I ended up back in North Carolina.

1980 – Three years later (all of which time spent in magical training) I fled to North Carolina with my sanity hanging by a thread.

1980 – I hopped on a bus and escaped to North Carolina.

1981 – By the time Hyatt found me, eight or nine months later, I was too deeply entrenched to remove easily. I played drug causality and pretended not remember anything and I suppose that helped. Anyway, they left me alone after that. In fact, all of this scared me so bad, what it said about me I mean, that I went into therapy and before the decade was out was a therapist myself. I rationalized what the weird people had said as fantasy and wish-fullfilment role-playing, enhanced by substance abuse, all around, and my own criminal nature projected outward.

1981 – three years of therapy with Dr. Margaret McCoy

[We have information from an informant that Vincent Bridges was actually a patient in the State Mental Hospital. Neither the doctor nor the hospital will confirm that information.]

1980 or 81 – (1981?) later in the aftermath of the Greensboro debacle, Reagan’s election and the YIPie fiasco at the inauguration I was conned into coming to Clearwater for a vacation that resulted in my being arrested for burglary.

1983 – Crescent Observer article about reggae by V. M. Bridges copyright by Wyrd Trips, Ink – A travelogue, “get the tourists in to spend money filler type article.”

1984 – I wrote a book, unpublished, called the White Indian Myth. It bounced around among publishers for a while, and the basic story was optioned for a movie, which also never happened. But in the course of my research, I turned up something truly strange. –Documented evidence, including archeological finds, of a Celtic group in central NC.

1984 – North Davidson Dispatch article about the Town creek Indian mounds. Written as a “travel guide” to drum up tourist business.

1985 – After a period of emotional recuperation, (from the magical training) I got a job at the Shakespeare Festival — use that classical education! — and began to write again. Fairy stories mostly, and one book on the white indian myth. Shakespeare festival publication on the 500th anniversary of the death of Richard III in 1485

1986- The day after Easter in 1986, I was sitting under a crepe myrtle bush in High Point NC meditating while I waited for my car to be fixed.

1987 – A year later, I was leading a Harmonic Convergence event. – Triad article – a local “film rag” . Oddly, in the image of the page, a photo has been blanked out and a piece of the masthead inserted in the place. WHAT was in the picture? Piedmont article: another “encourage the tourists” attraction description.

1988- I was a therapist doing deep hypnotic work on trauma abreactions

1987 and 88 – I was a facilitator for a Melchizedek group that focused on the Keys of Enoch

1988 – Back in 1988, Barbra Marciniak and I were part of the same newage/magickal group called the Order of Melchizedek in NC. The group was about to start some save the world type project involving traveling to remote places and anchoring the Blue Light (K-Marts specials for everyone!). Egypt was the first stop and BM came to me for a Tarot reading on whether she should go or or not. The indicator of the reading was the death card, crossed by the devil. She freaked, and I must admit, I had no pleasant way to interpret that kind of sign. She wouldn’t stay for the rest of the reading and left in a huff. A couple of months later, we’re in the Great Pyramid doing our hoodoo with the Great Guru, when BM starts to shake and passes out. She’s sick the rest of the trip, having some truly bizarre episodes. [...]

1989 – And then, just as my practice got going in the summer of 1989, [working at Duke Diet clinic?] I met Dr. Andrija Puharich. Dr. P. was in hiding on the Reynolds family estate in Devotion North Carolina, and he felt that they were closing in. I suppose that the fact of one of his benefactors took a swan dive off a hotel roof in Tampa had something to do with that. I had followed his work from the late ’50s through the late 1970s when he seemed to drop off the map. I was ready to hear anything the man had to say. Over the course of that summer, we became friends, mainly, as he liked to say after a few shots of good vodka, because I reminded him so much of Ira Einhorn.

1989 -A year after that I was leading the service for a hundred people on Bell Rock in Sedona while the Berlin wall fell.

[One wonders how Bridges could have been hanging out with Puharich AND be in Arizona at almost the same time.]

1990my practice exploded, - I was gaining credibility with the Bowman Gray Med School’s MPD clinic, and all was looking bright.

Vincent Bridges home
Duplex apartment (at right) occupied by Bridges during time he claimed his “practice was exploding.”

[From an informant: The above is a lie. Vincent was living on poverty row in a house at 21 Devonshire. He was involved with L** H**. She use to own W**** in Forsyth Co. Her family were the ones that funded what was Charter Hospital (a private psy hospital) in Winston, N.C. Charter has now been taken over by Bowman Grey Hospital and L** sold W*** years ago. Vincent was a "friend" of L**'s and they worked together on W**** (a new age type of retreat). There was a falling out, L** tried to terminate relations with Vincent, but he wouldn't let her. He set her property on fire and destroyed her possessions. After a scandal, W**** was sold due to community opposition and problems with a non-profit and Vincent was run out of town.]

1990 – Style article – Says nothing about him being a therapist which you would expect it to say if, as he claims, his “practice exploded.” It is another tourist guide type thing about Pilot mountain, building temples, UFOs and Bermuda Triangle. He says: “I’m part of the blue army. We’re the rescue squad.”

1991 – Two years later, I was in India, Nepal and Tibet, collecting Vishnu and Shiva initiations and following in the footsteps of Padmasambhava.

1993 – An old friend that I knew had intelligence connections called me up with a strange story. He thought that if anybody might have a clue what was going on, it would be me. A friend of his wife’s, going back to Pentagon days, had gone crazy and started accusing everyone of being a satanist and under mind control. Her husband had had to take their kids away from her and she was on the run, calling them from phone booths along the highway. Could I help?

She called me the next day from a phone booth in Maryland, and we talked enough to convince her that I would take her story seriously. So she hopped in her car and drove straight through to Winston-Salem. She got to my office around six and we talked to midnight, when she left to hide somewhere, she wouldn’t say where or how, and then came back the next day and talked for another four hours or so. Then she got in her car and left. I never saw her again, alive. …A few days later I got a call from a detective in Memphis who wanted to know if I knew anything about her. She had been found dead in a motel room under suspicious circumstances and she had my card.

1993 – October I got the following letter. It had no heading or letter head and bore a Las Vegas postmark. Hi Vince, Good to hear from old friends, what they’re doing and all, isn’t it? We’ve been admiring your work, and we must tell you that we couldn’t be more pleased. Doubt you would have been so effective even if you had taken our offer. Christopher I fell into a months long Sherlockian funk, that fortunately coincided with our several moves so I had time to think as I packed and unpacked endless boxes of books.

My new partner (Dr. Jean Templeton) and I worked out a plan. She would take the professional flack and work within the emerging treatment community to get the word out and to find more cases so we could see if my sample was skewed or accurate, or even if the whole thing was another form of mind control. I went to work on the technical end looking for therapies and gizmos that would aid in the recovery process. We worked at it until early 1997,

1995 – Three years after that, I was initiated into the Sufi order in Luxor, met the Dalai Lama and received the Kalachakra initiation. (What about the trip to Nepal, India, and Tibet in 1991? Or are there two trips to collect initiations?)

1996 – We invoked the Ophanic angels of Dr. John Dee, back in Sedona on Bell Rock. Then, I plunged into alchemy and Fulcanelli. In the next few years, some truly interesting things are scheduled to happen involving the Grail and Nostradamus.

1996 – Jay Weidner says: I didn’t meet VB until 1996 when he was hanging out in Boulder with Dan Winter. I told him about Hendaye and the Cross and my visits to France. I funded (with my own money) a research trip to France. He told me that he would pay me back for the trip but that was 3 years ago and I have yet to recieve a cent.

1996 – On Wednesday, April 24th, 1996 I was in Tampa, the book says University of Tampa, but all I remember is a large and funky 1890′s hotel deep in downtown, doing a seminar with my partner Dr. Jean Templeton for a group of therapists and psychs on early childhood abuse and our light and sound entrainment procedures for treating it.that was my last seminar with Jean. She went off to Masters and Johnson that summer and became famous for our technique. I manned the store while she was gone and then that fall I decided I had had enough. I started pulling back on clients, keeping only those that were willing to do the work. By early ’97 I was officially retired.

1997 – [Re therapy practice] everything fell apart due to heavy pressure on my partner. Psychic attacks, Love Bite vampires and office break-ins forced a change. I went into semi-retirement, retreating to Mt.G.

1998 – From: “wiolawa72″ .luke gato had a sacred geometry conf..in denver in 98 and stan said he would sue the participants because of dan..[...] conference participants..ie michael heleus..etc….[...]well it wasnt till a little later that dan brought holt to my house.. and holt set up an assassination plot.. headed my way with drunvalo…then dan had Vincent and his wife do a ritual with sekmet at bell rock in sedona. all nite and a crowley exericise in futility to the ophanim…. i didnt like that either..as they were using my timeshare…. [...] ron holt was drunvalos major jackass assistant.. and he is married to lyssssa royal.. yerka..was the czech.. who funded drunvalo.bought him a million $$$ house temple.whatever in prescott.. drug money king.. also funded hoagy… all that is a long story…. i got out of the assassination attempt thanx to dennis banks of aim.. police also trying to get drunvalo.. coca…etc..yes he is a snake….sedona is headquartersfor much nwo shit..solarcapstone.org.

1999 – March – in France with Jay Weidner sez VB

1999 – in “real” life I’m a therapist working with severe childhood trauma, sexual abuse, etc. Takes up a lot of my time. (What happened to being retired in 1997?)


If anyone can confirm or deny any of Mr. Bridges whereabouts or claims, please contact the owners of this website. Information will be kept confidential and any names will be disguised for the protection of the innocent.

CONTINUE: Vincent Bridges:
Psychotherapist? Or Hacker and Thief?

SUPPLEMENT: Is Truth Defamatory? It seems that we are not the only ones! Many truth seekers are being targeted! Will you be next?

Added, Spring 2004: While in the case of Vincent Bridges, we are not discussing a murderer, the following remarks from Bad or Mad? published in New Scientist vol 181 issue 2439 – 20 March 2004, page 38, have a direct bearing on the subject – it is only a matter of degree.

WHAT is evil? In today’s largely secular western society we may find it hard to define. But, historically, the question of evil has been a theological one. Generations of apologists have searched for ways to justify God in an imperfect world. In the Christian tradition, Saint Augustine distinguished between two forms of evil: “moral evil”, the evil humans do, by choice, knowing that they are doing wrong; and “natural evil”, the bad things that just happen – the storm, the flood, volcanic eruptions, fatal disease.

Whatever your views on God, the distinction is appealing. In our secular world, where crimes are punished, we need to believe that someone who commits an inexplicable act of violence or physical cruelty, such as torture, child abduction or murder, has freely chosen to do so. We accept that there may be mitigating circumstances, including diminished responsibility or mental illness. What we find most chilling are crimes that are planned, where offenders have a goal in mind and demonstrate control. Like Uma Thurman’s character in Quentin Tarantino’s film Kill Bill, people who commit such crimes are seen as unambiguously morally evil. “It’s mercy, compassion and forgiveness I lack,” she says, “not rationality.”

Thurman’s character “The Bride” can be seen as possessing what is now recognised by psychiatrists as a severe antisocial personality. Such people are not clinically mentally ill, and they usually know when they are doing wrong. But are they really evil? Neuroscience is beginning to tell us that while the cognitive, planning part of the brains of severely antisocial people works normally, other neural centres do not. [...]

Whether violence is impulsive or premeditated, we want to know what makes people do it. Here science can move beyond the theological explanation of free will. Starting in the 1990s, Adrian Raine, a British psychologist at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, pioneered the use of brain imaging to study people with antisocial personalities. His brain scans of impulsive, reactive killers show that these people have reduced activity in frontal regions of their brains, including an area called the orbitofrontal cortex. This area sits at the head of a chain of connected brain regions, including the amygdala, hypothalamus and peri-aqueductal grey, which are activated when we are threatened. People with damage to this area often display loss of control. They are inappropriately irritable and aggressive when crossed, and they find it hard to alter their response to a situation when circumstances change and it would be in their interests to modify their behaviour.

This last sentence above is the key to the behavior of Vincent Bridges as the reader has seen in this presentation of the “Bridges Dossier.” Additionally, the following excerpts from our research on psychopathy will serve to make the report on Vincent Bridges more comprehensible.

Jay Weidner-Vincent Bridges
Jay Weidner and Vincent Bridges

The reader should note that, when the Perseus Research Team – now the Quantum Future Group – began its investigation of Mr. Bridges, the results – coincident with Bridges’s behavior – were almost incomprehensible to us. While Bridges seemed to be in full possession of reasoning ability, even a superior intellect, he repeatedly demonstrated a complete inability to comprehend the meaning and significance of his behavior. He was described by one of his earlier victims (who contacted us as a result of this investigation) as a “spiritual terrorist.” As time has passed, other victims have contacted us with their stories and it has become increasingly clear that our assessment has been correct though we are unable to publish most of this personal information because his victims are still so traumatized and frightened of his “aggressive response when crossed” that they are unwilling to expose themselves to further “spiritual terrorism.”

One of the primary things the research team learned in dealing with Bridges was that the normal rules of etiquette simply do not apply. His inner landscape seemed to be so radically different that we began to think that we had landed on another planet and were dealing with a completely different species even though outwardly, he looked like a regular human being. On the one hand, he wrote many fine literary pieces that – on the surface – seemed to express a well-organized emotional state, while in real life, he seemed to have absolutely no comprehension of the effects of his actions on other – usually innocent – people. This was disorienting to all of the research members – about a dozen people – and we struggled to understand someone who knew all the right words about emotion, but didn’t seem to have any ability to apply them to real life and real human relations. This problem is exemplified in Laura’s reflections in The Taste for Things That are True:

During the past week or so, we have had to sit down with our children, show them the terrible, hurtful lies that are being written about us by these contemptible, solipsistic, malignent, and lawless people. We have had to show them that these people have no compunction about writing about the children themselves, using their names, possibly endangering them, certainly embarrassing them, and most definitely hurting them psychologically and emotionally.

We have had to explain to them about people who choose conscious evil; people who are malicious, evil-minded, envious, obnoxious, and loathesome. We have had to explain to them about people who are so twisted that they derive gratification from deceiving other people and hurting other people. And we have had to explain to them that these people pose as “good and helpful and friendly” when they meet you and when you have something they want, or something they wish to destroy, whether they are being directed by some nebulous Control System, or their own internal deficiencies and general failure at life.

What is more, we have had to explain it to ourselves.

And of course, the children have asked us: Why do you even do it? Why not just walk away from the world such people inhabit? Why not just go back to “normal life,” and forget about it. Let the world do what it wants to do, let everybody just go away and leave us alone?

And frankly, as I write this, I am hard pressed to answer that question. Why, indeed?

The emotional, psychological and physical cost of the attacks of Vincent Bridges and his gang of cyber-terrorists on Ark and Laura, their family, friends, students and work, have been high.

When normal people are shown pictures of people’s faces expressing distress, the amygdala is activated. It sends signals to the hypothalamus and other brain regions that prompt our bodies to react with the characteristic racing heartbeat and sweaty palms. Only later, when the brain’s higher cortical regions are engaged, does the emotional response become conscious. Ray Dolan from the Institute of Neurology in London has found that we respond even when our attention is diverted to other matters and we see pictures of distressed faces only at the periphery of our vision. Empathy, concludes Dolan, is automatic and visceral. It is beyond our control. When we feel a wave of emotion at someone’s suffering, or revulsion at the sight of their wounds, we are communing with them, whether we like it or not.

But violent individuals do not react in this way. Is their lack of empathy a cause or an effect of their behaviour? Do such people start life without empathy, does it fail to develop, or do they lose it through wrongdoing? Opinions vary. Raine and others have found that children who later grow up to be violent have abnormal visceral responses such as a relative lack of palm sweating. Twin and adoption studies point to a substantial contribution of heredity to criminal, antisocial conduct, although the genetic effect is stronger for acquisitive and impulsive crime than for premeditated crimes against other people. [...]

Some commentators have suggested that the architects of the Holocaust and other genocides must have been abused as children – why else would they have committed such appalling acts? But all the available evidence contradicts this. James Waller at Whitworth College in Spokane, Washington, has trawled the literature on what he calls “extraordinary evil”. He and other social scientists find perpetrators of evil who look remarkably normal in psychiatric terms. [...]

Aristotle said: “Men become builders by building and lyre-players by playing the lyre; so too we become just by doing just acts, temperate by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts.” Modern thinkers agree with the idea that, in part, we create ourselves through our actions. The way the antisocial brain is configured may limit a person’s choices from the outset, but, argues forensic psychiatrist Paul Mullen from Monash University in Victoria, Australia, it is by choosing evil that we seal our own fate. Mullen sees the antisocial personality as the outcome of a developmental disorder of ethical action. Someone who does not reflect upon the consequences of their actions while growing up – or who is not provided with a parent who will do so for them – creates their own antisocial destiny. [Bad or Mad? New Scientist vol 181 issue 2439 - 20 March 2004, page 38]


The terms sociopath or psychopath often bring to mind images of sadistically violent individuals such as Ted Bundy or the fictional character of Dr. Hannibal “The Cannibal” Lecter in the book and movie The Silence of the Lambs. But I believe the defining characteristic traits of sociopaths actually cover a much broader spectrum of individuals than most of us would ever imagine. The sociopath is that truly self-absorbed individual with no conscience or feeling for others and for whom social rules have no meaning. I believe that most all of us know or have come in contact with sociopathic individuals without even knowing it. [Wendy Koenigsmann]

Vincent Bridges
Vincent of Arabia?

CHARISMATIC PSYCHOPATHS are charming, attractive liars. They are usually gifted at some talent or another, and they use it to their advantage in manipulating others. They are usually fast-talkers, and possess an almost demonic ability to persuade others out of everything they own, even their lives. They are irresistible, persuasive, eloquent, and seemingly full of the milk of human kindness and concern for others.

While the psychopath has likes and dislikes and fondness for the pleasures that human company can bring, analysis shows that he is completely egocentric, valuing others only for their enhancement of his own pleasure or status. While he gives no real love, he is quite capable of inspiring love of sometimes fanatical degree in others.

He is generally superficially charming and often makes a striking impression as possessed of the noblest of human qualities.

He makes friends easily, and is very manipulative, using his ability with words to talk his way out of trouble. Many psychopaths love to be admired and bask in the adulation of others.

With the lack of love, there is also a lack of empathy. The psychopath is unable to feel sorry for others in unfortunate situations or put himself in another’s place, whether or not they have been harmed by him.[Gordon Banks]

How Psychopaths View The World

Not only do they covet possessions and power, but they gain special pleasure in usurping and taking from others (a symbolic sibling, for example); what they can plagiarize, swindle, and extort are fruits far sweeter than those they can earn through honest labor. And once having drained what they can from one source, they turn to another to exploit, bleed, and then cast aside; their pleasure in the misfortune of others is unquenchable. People are used as a means to an end; they are to be subordinated and demeaned so that the antisocial can vindicate themselves…

The psychopath is a manipulator, who knows exactly what makes us tick and knows how to manipulate and influence our feelings. They have the talent to spot “kind, caring” women.

Mimicry of emotion by word or cleverly produced effects (including tears, sighs, and highly dramatized emotional appeals) is often used to convince others that the psychopath is a normal human being. He does this to create a false empathy with his victim. The psychopath will try to make you believe he has normal emotions by spinning some sad tale or professing profound, moving experiences; the truth is, most psychopaths go through life as in an incubator, touched by few and having no real compassion for others; but they will lie to convince you that they have normal emotions. The pity factor is one reason why victims often fall for these “poor” people. [...]

Vincent Bridges
Vincent Bridges as “Nostradamus Expert” (at right)

Lying is like breathing to the psychopath. From personal experience with psychopaths, I can relate to this. When caught in a lie and challenged, they make up new lies, and don’t care if they’re found out. As Hare states, “Lying, deceiving, and manipulation are natural talents for psychopaths…When caught in a lie or challenged with the truth, they are seldom perplexed or embarrassed — they simply change their stories or attempt to rework the facts so that they appear to be consistent with the lie. The results are a series of contradictory statements and a thoroughly confused listener.” [Hare, 46]. Often, their behaviour serves to confuse and repress their victims, or to influence anyone who might listen to the psychopath’s side of the story. Manipulation is the key to their conquests, and lying is one way they achieve this.

When dealing with a really good psychopath, even the most astute observer can be fooled. And, the ones most easily deceived are those with real emotions which the psychopath engages, blinding them to objective facts. If you are a person with a highly developed empathic nature, you are more likely to be fooled by a psychopath than someone who operates at only a minimal level of human empathy.

Vincent Bridges’ post to the Cassiopaea Guestbook regarding Theft of the Cass Transcripts

Background: In the late summer/early fall of 2000, Ark and Laura cancelled their proposed appearance at a “conference” organized by Vincent Bridges. (See: Retreat From Zaca) The reasons for cancellation were many, but were really not important since the cancellation was made over six weeks prior to the scheduled date of the conference. Cancelling attendance at a conference is not an unknown event in the world, happens all the time, and certainly poses no real problems. Most conference organizers simply get another speaker to fill the slot – sometimes with as little as a day’s notice – and life goes on. No biggie. However, that is not how things work out with Vincent Bridges.

At the same time that the conference appearance was cancelled, a verbal publishing agreement between Ark and Laura andVincent Bridges was terminated. This was based on business considerations, primarily the fact that Bridges had failed to carry out his part of the agreement. It was only later that Ark and Laura discovered that Bridges did not even own a legally registered publishing company, as he had claimed which effectively amounted to fraud.

However, Vincent Bridges’ response to Ark and Laura cancelling their appearance at his conference and terminating their publishing agreement with him was so extraordinarily abnormal that Ark and Laura were certain that they were witnessing the behavior of a psychotic. He not only began a campaign of public libel, but he undertook to violate their copyright and publish “bootleg” copies of unpublished material that was not supposed to be published until the real names of participants had been changed for privacy, as well as some identifying details. This material had been entrusted to Bridges by Ark and Laura when he was fraudulently posing as a “publisher.”

Ark and Laura had sent Bridges a formal notice via registered mail, cancelling any publishing agreements and demanding return of the CD which contained the unpublished and confidential information.

The following post – one of many made almost daily for months – made to the guestbook on the Cassiopaea site is quite revealing in light of the later investigation into psychopathy. The reader should be aware that the notice to Bridges was sent from Ark and Laura’s home address, an address that Bridges certainly had since a package sent from him had arrived – correctly addressed – some two days prior to the cancellation of the conference. Also, it should be mentioned that the Perseus Foundation address was posted on nearly every page of the website.

So, for the reader who has read the Bridges Report and the research on psychopaths, this post fromVincent Bridges (of which dozens of similar ones were received in a seemingly unending flow) will serve as an example of exactly the type of insults and threats Ark and Laura suffered daily for literally months on end before they finally decided to respond and produce and publish the Bridges Report.


Vincent Bridges wrote:

Dear Laura and Ark,

So, enough is not enough? The CD comes back marked addressee unknown (Could be my problem or the PO’s. Please give me the correct address for the Perseus Foundation, or shall I send it to your house? Don’t be put off by the fact that is registered and certified, I just want proof you received it. I don’t trust you not to lie about it later.) and your attackbots keep digging themselves, and you, in deeper. Enough is obviously not enough…

So let’s make it crystal clear…

If you believe I have cheated you, stolen from you, pirated your copyright, or whatever accusations the ouiji aliens have come up with now, get a lawyer and sue me. Sign for your mail and you will have a statement from me that should be of great value to your case, assuming of course you had one.

Now, since I am the kind of person you are not, and seem to have trouble imagining could exist, I would like to give you one last warning.

Take down every word about me on your website, by 8am Monday, December 10, 2001, or I will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law for stalking via the internet as well as have my attorneys file an injunction to take my name off your website and sue you for the long and growing list of defamations, misrepresentations, breaches of contract, lies, harassment, invasion of privacy and anything else my lawyers in Tampa can come up with.

Don’t mistake my mild mannered attitude for weakness. It just takes a long time to get me angry. OK?

I am fully committed to having this stop now. You can keep your website, I don’t care what you write as long as it is not about me. But I will do whatever it takes, spend however much it costs, to have justice on this. I am not bluffing, I mean what I say.

I have already consulted the NPR Police Department, the Pasco County Sheriff’s office, the computer crimes division of the FDLE and the State Attorney for Pasco County. The consensus is that I have a legitimate complaint on several levels. I have also hired a local law firm in Tampa who will be filing an injunction and the subsequent legal actions.

So, to recap, just so you understand completely:

1) Get a lawyer and sue me if you think you have a case.
2) Get a lawyer anyway, ‘cause you’ll need one if you don’t:
3) Take every word about me down from your website by 8am Monday, December 10, 2001.

Please post your real Perseus Address on this list or matrioshka, or on Monday I’ll just send it to your house. Please sign for it, as Barry needs his check…

I will also no longer respond to anyone’s comments, although I will remain on this list to monitor the defamation level.

Thank you,

Vincent Bridges

He then later posted the following:

Just so everyone sees the point and we are not distracted by any attempt to make us focus on anything but the real issue, let me say it again:

I do not care about the Cassiopaeans. Laura and Ark can write and publish whatever they want. NO ONE IS THREATENING TO TAKE THE WEBSITE DOWN! OK?

I merely want the lies, defamations of my character by anonymous “sources” such as the ouiji aliens, slanderous innuendoes and openly admitted systematic harassment and invasion of privacy to stop. I want all mention of my name down from the website by tomorrow morning. Nothing more, and absolutely nothing less.

If that doesn’t happen, I will go into court and get an injunction to have all mention of my name, articles, webpages and links about me taken down off the Cassiopaean site. It will be up to the judge what happens at that point.

And if they do not take it down and continue or allow people claiming to represent them to continue with their harassment, I will prosecute them under the Florida stalking law:

http://gsulaw.gsu.edu/lawand/papers/su98/cyberstalking/

“The Florida statute is much broader than the California credible threat model because of its two-tier approach[13]. The Florida statute is a two tiered model that does not require a credible threat for a stalking conviction, but does required a credible threat[14] or violation of a court order for aggravated stalking. The statute[15]defines stalking as willful, malicious, and repeated following or harassment[16]. Under the Florida statute, there is no reasonable person standard for the victim’s fear. Thus, merely following or harassing may constitute criminal stalking even if the victim is unharmed. Under the Florida statute, stalking is a misdemeanor in the first degree and aggravated stalking is a felony of the third degree.”

“While criminal protsecution may be the best alternative for protection from cyberstalking, it may be possible to bring a successful claim under civil tort claims.”

As I said, I have already discussed this with the local law enforcement authorities. They seem to think I’ve got a complaint.

So, Laura, Ark, do us all a favor and just take it all down. Go on with whatever it is you need to do to save the world. I couldn’t care less, as long as it doesn’t involve me.

Thank you,

Vincent Bridges

Laura responded:

Mr. Bridges,

Just so YOU can get clear about what this is all REALLY about, let us state it one more time:

You have presented yourself, in public (on Laura Lee site, and elsewhere), as well as on an internet discussion group owned by us, in which there are over 200 members, as an “Expert” in government mind-programming and Satanic Ritual Abuse. You present yourself as an “expert” on many matters. With your “stories” and “credentials,” you then began a process of inducing, persuading, or manipulating said individuals to believe that they were all potential candidates for having been Experimented on by the Government, or Ritually Abused by an expansive network of Satanists.

You then induced a number of individuals to pour out their personal life stories to you as the “expert,” including intimate details of their sex lives. You attempted to persuade many of these individuals that they had been sexually abused by their parents or other close members of their families who, you claimed, were members of this world-wide network of Satanists.

As it happens, all of these claims are false.

After many of the above mentioned individuals began experiencing psychological stress and disturbances leading to debilitating physical effects, which often resulted in impairment of their ability to function both interpersonally, and in their jobs, they began writing to us to ask for verification of your background. Initial questions were not answered satisfactorily, and discrepancies were noted. Subsequently, we determined that it was necessary to inquire into your background for the purposes of determining the validity of your claims in order to satisfy the questions of the many people whose lives you were affecting negatively. Using Fraudulent Credentials to produce serious Harm, physical or psychological, is a crime.

Please remember our extensive file of your many emails describing in vivid detail how this or that person had “obviously” been subjected to this or that program, or had such severe sexual abuse that they were “beyond help.” Please remember the extensive emails written to the group of 200 witnesses on these subjects, and your presentation of yourself as such an expert, and the way in which you induced fear and paranoia among this rather large group of people. All of these emails will be included in our response to any complaint you might make. For example, do you remember writing this to a member of the group:

Subject: Re: Stuff
From: Vincent Bridges

Well, after going over your stuff, I hardly know what to say. There are so many red flags that it’s hard to know which way to begin. Childhood- Well, there are reasons why you were huffing lighter fluid at 12. Can you remember anything else from these years?

You’ve mention sexual abuse, etc. do you have any memories?

As for your adult years, well, you were close to some very strange and evil people, and it looks like your ex, I hope, knew them well. Look up Matamoros and the cocaine connection and see what happened a few years later. It will give you new insight on your reptile rape.

As for treatment, well, I don’t know. You need intensive therapy for the childhood trauma first, then it might be possible to explore further. Long distance, it’s hard to know what to do. I would start with any remaining self-destructive or addictive behavior and then try to come to terms with what happened in childhood. If you were my client, we’d be looking at at least three years of intensive work, with luck and no fall out.

Sorry, V.

Please note, Mr. Bridges, you were telling a vulnerable person that “you need extensive therapy.” You were also saying “If you were my client, we’d be looking at at least three years of intensive work…”

Do you think that this had no effect on this individual??? Do you think it was a “joke” to convince her that you were an expert so that she poured out to you the most private and personal details of her life, to which you responded “you need extensive therapy?”

And there were more. Shall we publicize ALL of them?

Please, Mr. Bridges, tell us it was not a joke. And if you say it was not a joke to pretend to be an expert on Mind Programming and Ritual Satanic abuse, and using such claims to attempt to produce what is called “False Memory Syndrome” in so many individuals, then what was it?

If it was a joke, it is a crime. If it was not a joke, it is a crime. And a very serious one, indeed.

You may be now saying that all of this was “novelization,” or a “joke.” I don’t think that the law will think it is so funny. So please, file suit. We are anxious to file for discovery. We want to hear you say under oath that it was all a “joke.” We want the court to hear how this “joke” affected other peoples minds, health, and lives in general. We want to produce the evidence of how you have harmed the lives of a significant number of individuals by your false claims of “expert status,” and your manipulations of people’s minds based on these false claims.

In short, YOU, Vincent Bridges used your claims as a “mind control expert” in order to manipulate a large group of people with obvious intent to do harm. You continue to try to further defraud others in this way.

Not only are you not an expert on anything, as the available evidence shows, you are an exposed fraud and liar. Yet you and your “gang” continue to stalk us and our discussion group, causing several members of said group to experience severe psychological stress resulting in physical symptoms and loss of ability to conduct their business and personal lives due to dealing with this cyber-stalking behavior. It is our belief, and the belief of many of our discussion group that you and your friends need to be thoroughly investigated by law enforcement agencies. Most of all, you need to be stopped from preying on the innocent.

You have also claimed ownership of a business, Aethyrea books, LLC, which does not exist as a registered corporation in the State of North Carolina. What is more, the county tax collector of Montgomery County, North Carolina has confirmed that there is NO currently active business of any kind registered to your name. You aren’t paying your taxes, it seems.

However, based on this fraudulent claim to be a “publisher,” to own an LLC, you fraudulently induced the owners of this website to agree to participate in a “conference” for the purpose of introducing books, published by your non-registered, illegal publishing outfit, at said conference. When it became evident that this was not going to transpire, and the owners of this website withdrew from the agreement, you began to publicly libel them and conduct actions of defamation of character. Part of these acts of libel and defamation include claims that you were going to sue for breach of contract. Mr. Bridges, there was no breach of contract if there was no contract, and there was no contract if you do not own a legally registered company as you presented. Another of your lies is exposed.

You further initially tried to avoid refunding the monies paid by members of the above said discusssion group, paid in advance for the conference, claiming that it was the responsibility of the presenters who had cancelled, i.e. Ark and Laura, to refund the monies. The exact figure is unknown to us, but is estimated to have been in excess of $5,000.00. You later claimed to have refunded ALL monies, but this has been proven to be untrue.

When the owners of this website responded to your acts of libel and defamation of character, you persisted in your actions, up to the present moment, which now includes filing malicious complaints against them with local law enforcement agencies, claiming that investigating your background via PUBLIC records is “stalking.” Mr. Bridges, did you ever ask yourself WHY they are called “Public Records?” Because they are available to the PUBLIC to check up on people and find out if they are telling the truth.

You and your gang have threatened, libeled, stalked, defrauded, and damaged the owners of this website and their associates financially, psychologically, and in many other ways. Every defense (and let us emphasize “defense,” as YOU started the issue by spamming over 150 people with your initial lies and fraudulent claims) made against your public attacks is met by you with escalation of your abuse and threats, many of which are delivered through your “followers.”

We will also be forwarding to the authorities, along with emails like the one above where you are giving an “expert diagnosis” to a victim of your fraud, other emails such as the following:

Don’t worry, I didn’t use any of the transcripts themselves, “Who needs it?” as P&P said, just selections from the website. I did however use my personal experience of you and your “work” to draw some clinical conclusions. Who knows, maybe this is the book that will finally put channeling in the DSM where it belongs, right between Narcissism and Schizo-affective disorder…

Why do you lie when you say that others have backed out of the conference. This is not true. Not one has backed out except you (thank God for that!!!) You are a liar which somehow doesn’t surprise me. You are also lying about the entities no doubt. Thank you for all the great material you are giving me for my article that I am writing about you.

You couldn’t get a job as a janitor. I am telling Vincent to do the right thing and sue your asses into the ground. He needs to let the boys who are running your show know that we will not be trifled with. You should be sued for slander and I am telling Jirka Rysavy to do it as your claims are without merit. You have shown yourselves to be the perfect dupes. And your information is so full of crap it hurts. That’s why you don’t lis! t your sessions chronologicaly. You are back dating material as you find out what is right and what isn’t. You are a classic intelligence operation and I intend to wipe you out. I am not afraid of you at all.

Laura


This spot was formerly occupied by an “open letter from Jay Weidner” written on December 15, 2001, approximately two weeks after Mr. Weidner became aware of Vincent Bridges “shady background” as a result of our investigative report. Mr. Weidner seemed to be sincerely anxious to “make amends” for having been manipulated by Bridges to think that we had “shafted” him in regards to the Zaca Lake conference. He was also apologizing for several vicious emails he had sent us which he stated had been as a result of being misinformed about the conference by Vincent Bridges. He also seemed to be sincerely interested in getting to the truth and assisting in revealing Vincent Bridges history of conning others so as to make the information available to others who might be similarly targeted by Bridges in the future. Jay wrote to us telling us that he was under the impression that the event at Zaca Lake was “sponsored” by Ark and Laura in conjuction with Vincent Bridges – obviously, what Bridges wanted him to believe.

As we have stated elsewhere, Bridges presented this conference as a big affair for which he already had a large audience. It was only when we cancelled that he informed us that WE were the “main attraction” and that most of the attendees were being drawn from our readers. We then realized that we were being used to attract the attendees, that he really did not have a large audience already. In short, the whole affair took on the appearance of a con job for the purpose of making money using us.

Mr. Weidner then stated that he was so irate because he thought we had “screwed Zaca Lake Charity out of $8,000.00.” We are uncertain as to how this was possible since we don’t think that there were enough attendees signed up for the conference that, after deducting expenses, there would be eight grand left. Also, Vincent Bridges had clearly stated that any monies left over after expenses would accrue to himself, and he would see to it that we received an “honorarium.” We didn’t really expect any money from the conference since we were mostly doing it as a favor to Vincent to help him get his “publishing company” off the ground, which would have been advantageous to us as well, since he was going to publish our books.

Nevertheless, Mr. Weidner informed us that there was a charity involved, and that funds from the conference had been slated to go to this charity, and the figure was $8,000.00. Mr. Weidner continued his letter by informing us that Vincent Bridges claims about the book they wrote together were “out and out lies.” He then informed us that Vincent Bridges owed him thousands of dollars since he financed their research trips. (The figure was later give as $3000.00) Mr. Weidner concluded his letter with a heartfelt plea to Vincent Bridges to “set his career, and life, back in order.” He had the idea that this could be accomplished if Bridges would just apologize to everyone publicly for his misrepresentations.

Now, coming forward to the present: We have just received a letter from Mr. Weidner telling us that our posting of his letters has essentially served his purpose. He informs us that he has now entered into a legal agreement with Vincent Bridges that he finds “satisfactory to me [Jay Weidner].” He then states that Bridges has paid him back the $3,000.00 he owed, and that he has “apologized for his mistakes.” Next, he tells us that the copyright problem has been straightened out as well as the ownership of Aethyrea Books.

This last issue relates to the fact that we discovered through the tax collector’s office as well as the Secretary of State’s office in North Carolina, that Vincent Bridges did not own a legally registered company and therefore, any of his representations as being a publisher were fraudulent and misleading. Jay Weidner later filed the corporation papers on Aethyrea Books LLC, and this was the first time that it had existed as a legal corporation.

At some later point, Vincent Bridges posted on the internet in numerous places that Ark and Laura had “blackmailed” Jay Weidner into writing the letters that we posted on our site at Jay’s request. Jay then provided a letter declaring that Vincent was an “out and out liar.” The fact is, Jay Weidner contacted us, not the other way around.

Several other letters were published by us, on behalf of Jay Weidner, in our ongoing effort to expose a serious internet predator who has a history of theft, lies and fraud. Mr. Weidner has now informed us that he wishes to just let the whole thing drop because he is satisfied; he got his money back, he got an apology, and “the many things said in those letters is no longer true.”

As a certain member of the research team pointed out regarding such a position: “Since when does truth become ‘no longer true?’ Who decides, and who’s truth was it in the first place? Does something become not true, which once was true?”

What concerns us here, of course, is that there is nothing in Mr. Weidner’s attitude that suggests concern for other people Vincent Bridges has, or will con in the future. So, the bottom line is: even though Mr. Weidner has a price – and rather low, at that – I don’t think that Mr. Bridges will be able to “persuade” any of the other contributors to the documentation of his fraudulent life to retract what they have said.

And so, at his request, we are removing Jay Weidner’s letters.


Not long after the above exchange occurred on the Cassiopaea website, Mr. Bridges contacted “Frank Scott,” a former member of the Cassiopaean Experiment and induced him to participate in his fraud and libel.

As chronicled in the introduction to the Experiment, Frank had left the group in 2000, though Laura continued to hold the door open for his return. His betrayal nearly killed her. Perhaps that was his intent, though we will never know. Laura thinks, in retrospect, that Frank was as taken in by Vincent Bridges as she had been and only realized too late exactly what he had been induced to do.

At present, based on posts he has written on internet discussion groups, Frank is of the opinion that Laura’s references to him in the Adventures Series were an act of “revenge” against him, but he is entirely wrong in this respect.

Laura’s careful analysis, supported by the observations of the other members of the experiment, was fair, exact and compassionate. To this day, Frank does not realize how much was offered to him that he threw away so casually for the manipulations of Vincent Bridges.

What is so astonishing to us here at the Quantum Future School is the fact that in both cases – Vincent Bridges and Frank Scott – their actions were, ultimately, self-destructive and life-denying. We are reminded of the passage in Cleckley’s masterpiece on psychopathy, The Mask of Sanity:

The concept of an active death instinct postulated by Freud has been utilized by some to account for socially self-destructive reactions. I have never been able to discover in the writings of Freud or any of his followers real evidence to confirm this assumption.

In contrast, the familiar tendency to disintegrate, against which life evolves, may be regarded as fundamental and comparable to gravity. The climbing man or animal must use force and purpose to ascend or to maintain himself at a given height. To fall or slide downhill he need only cease his efforts and let go. Without assuming an intrinsic death instinct, it is possible to account for active withdrawal from positions at which adaptation is unsuccessful and stress too extreme.

Whether regression occurs primarily through something like gravity or through impulses more self-contained, the backward movement (or ebbing) is likely to prompt many sorts of secondary reactions, including behavior not adapted for ordinary human purposes but instead, for functioning in the other direction. The modes of such reactivity may vary, may fall into complex patterns, and may seek elaborate expression. [See Organic Portals for a theory that explains what Cleckley is trying to express here.]

In a movement (or gravitational drift) from levels where life is vigorous and full to those where it is less so, the tactics of withdrawal predominate.

People with all the outer mechanisms of adaptation intact might, one would think, regress more complexly than can those who react more simply. [...]

Withdrawal, or limitation of one’s quest in living, appears in many forms.

The decision for taking such a step may be consciously voluntary, but it seems likely that many influences less clear and simple may also play a part. In the earliest years of human life a great deal of complicated shaping may occur, with adaptive changes to promote survival by an automatic refusal (inability) to risk one’s feelings (response) in the greatest subjective adventures. In adult life such decisions sometimes emerge in clear deliberation.

The activity of the psychopath may seem in some respects to accomplish a kind of protracted and elaborate social and spiritual suicide. Perhaps the complex, sustained, and spectacular undoing of the self may be cherished by him. He seldom allows physical suicide to interrupt it.

Be it noted that such a person retains high intelligence and nearly all the outer mechanisms for carrying on the complicated activities of positive life. It is to be expected then that his function in the opposite (regressive) emotional direction might be more subtle than those of a less highly developed biologic entity. [...]

When complexly organized functions are devoted to aimless or inconsistent rebellion against the positive goals of life, perhaps they may enable the patient to woo failure and disintegration with similar elaborateness and subtlety. His conscious or outer functioning may at the same time maintain an imitation of life that is uniquely deceptive.

Perhaps the emptiness or superficiality of life without major goals or deep loyalties, or real love, would leave a person with high intelligence and other superior capacities so bored that he would eventually turn to hazardous, self-damaging, outlandish, antisocial, and even self-destructive exploits in order to find something fresh and stimulating in which to apply his relatively useless and unchallenged energies and talents. [...]

As Laura has commented: what great co-experimenters Bridges and Scott would have made… had they used their talents and brains for life and creativity.

Vincent Bridges and Jay Weidner: Majickal Mystery Tour Scam

The subject of COINTELPRO comes up quite a bit on our websites and has done so since we became fully aware of its activity in the various New Age and “alternative news/views” movements back in late 2001. Up to that point in time, we were thinking that it was probably likely that, now and again, a group might be infiltrated by an agent for a specific purpose. What we were NOT aware of was the vast, overarching program that seems to be in place for the primary purpose of controlling absolutely everything via the control of the minds of the masses! As I wrote in The Secret History of the World:

Richard Dolan’s UFOs and the National Security State is the first comprehensive study of the past 50 years of the U.S. Government’s response to the intrusion of UFO phenomena in America. The compiled evidence – which includes government documents – suggests that a group of specialists working in the shadows, set up and executed the most massive cover-up in the history of government; and that the Human Potential movement and the subsequent New Age movements, were key elements of this cover-up. In other words, they not only have used the “colorful community” of alternative ideas as an unwitting tool of disinformation, it is highly probable that most of it was literally created by them as COINTELPRO. According to analysts, COINTELPRO was the FBI’s secret program to undermine the popular upsurge, which swept the country during the 1960s. Though the name stands for “Counterintelligence Program,” the targets were not enemy spies. The FBI set out to eliminate “radical” political opposition inside the US. What a lot of people do not realize is that this was a high level psychological operation specifically set up to vector “ideological” trends – beliefs, etc. of the ENTIRE COUNTRY!

Yeah, that’s a pretty unbelievable project to contemplate, but for groups with unlimited resources and the agenda to stay on the top of the heap, it’s really not so hard. And never has this activity been more evident than in the 9/11 Truth Movement which I want to discuss here.

I think that it is pretty easy to “read” the 9/11 Truth Movement into the above description of COINTELPRO in the “New Age.” In fact, after all that practice, it must have been a piece of cake to just move in and co-opt those who were suddenly drawn into an “alternative” point of view by 9/11.

Now, one of the interesting things we have observed about COINTELPRO is the way it shifts and warps in response to possible exposure. I believe that I was the first to realize the extent and nature of the operation, and I began publishing my speculations about it in the Adventures With Cassiopaea series back in early 2002. Not too long after that, individuals that I KNEW to be “agents” of COINTELPRO began to start ranting about COINTELPRO and pointing the finger this way and that way. Up to this point in time, the lid had pretty much remained shut on the subject – I guess they were hoping that people would forget about it, or think that it was over and done with back in the 70s, nothing to worry about now!

But nope, I saw it and wrote about it and they just had to do something. So, in typical COINTELPRO fashion, they started producing endless noise to obscure the signal. Particular attention was paid to me; I guess I had to be punished for daring to call a spade a spade. I was accused of being COINTELPRO myself, of being funded by George Soros, my husband was accused of being an “ex cold war nuke scientist,” and the previous attacks that had alerted me to the COINTELPRO problem to begin with – vile and vicious defamation, character assassination, and so on – ramped up to an unbelieveable level.

As usual, I learned a lot by observing and doing research to find out who was connected to whom.

Of course, once I began publishing such exposes, the program shifted again. The internet was already being scrubbed of articles and stories that did not support the government 9/11 claims that had been published in the early days after 9/11. Seems like some additional scrubbing took place in removing material that might link various agents together. Additionally, such resources as the “whois” services became useless with the use of “proxy registration” of websites. Many things that had been on the web before 9/11 suddenly disappeared. Many things also disappeared from the usually reliable webarchive as well. In some instances, we had the foresight to archive pages, but not always. I even have some pages archived and certified in my files. They may come in handy someday.

With over 100 researchers in our Quantum Future School, scattered around the globe, we have even resorted to sending a member out to do hand searches in various places. In one case, the member was shortly afterward visited by some “Israeli Art Students.” How’s that for “personal attention?”

Not long after I published research findings on the people behind GodlikeProductions Forum, we received an email warning, and two “personal contacts” of a threatening nature. Let us just say that when you begin to find connections between such popular websites and drug and pedophile rings, you are cruising into dangerous international trafficking waters and discretion may very well be the better part of valor. I removed the article from our website, though I do still send it to researchers who ask for it privately. I should note, while on the subject, that this is not uncommon: to find such connections; after all, that’s one of the ways that secret agencies make their money – drugs and human trafficking, including children – and have the means to control government officials: blackmail. It’s a pretty handy set-up: provide the drugs and the sex, get photos and movies or recordings, and voila! Instant control of just about anybody!

So, while I can’t take the risk of telling exactly who is who here, just let me give a general warning: drugs and pedophilia – and even arms trafficking – are connected to a lot of people who you would never, ever suspect! Imagine! A popular New Age teacher giving seminars on such things as how to create your higher astral body and meet your angel guides (for example) who also runs a cover operation for shipping arms to CIA sponsored guerilla groups and ALSO has programs for “special children”? Can we say “Star kids” and “Indigo?”

Getting back to 9/11 and COINTELPRO in that venue: if you don’t already know that probably 80 to 90 percent of what is out there is noise, then you might want to get up to speed pretty fast.

Now, let’s get down to some specifics. There’s a new guy on the 9/11 scene who just sort of appeared out of nowhere: Daryl Bradford Smith.

Daryl has declared himself to be the “Black Mamba” of the Truth Movement!

Well, I DO declare! Hush my mouth and shiver my timbers!

I’ve been watching Mr. Smith (funny, that reminds me Agent Smith in The Matrix!) for a bit now. Among his earlier publications was a sort of “how to recognize agents in the 9/11 Truth Movement guide”. It was simple, straightforward, easy for anyone to understand. Even though something about it was disturbing, I included it on Signs of the Times one day.

Recently, I had an exchange with a few other 9/11 researchers on the subject of DBS, and I’d like to share a few excerpts:

DBS: Who is Jeff Rense? Try to find information about this man. People will justify his secrecy on the grounds that he is afraid for his life, which is justifiable. However, it is also possible that he is hiding something more sinister. His stepmother, Paige Rense, is editor-in-chief of Architectural Digest. This is one of the magazines owned by Si Newhouse.

LKJ: Well, Rense is a cipher to me, too. I only recently learned that he is a close pal of Jay Weidner and that he and Jay and Vincent Bridges used to be members of Ray Flowers group. The C’s pretty clearly indicated Flowers as a COINTELPRO handler. From my point of view, after a long period of observation, Rense is out there pushing the alien noise agenda in a big way. He is a “tar baby.” All the folks (and there are MILLIONS of them) who KNOW that the reality is strange, or who have had truly traumatic experiences (I think a lot of it is gov mind control programs) rush to be enfolded in the arms of anybody who will give them some validation, some peace of mind about what has happened to them. And then, they are RIPE for being vectored.

DBS: For all we know, Jeff Rense truly believes in UFOs, and associates of Si Newhouse or others are encouraging his UFO habit. See our article about the media if you never heard of Newhouse.

LKJ: I don’t think Jeff Rense really “believes” what he promotes. Keeping in mind the close connection between Weidner and Rense, is very instructive to read the entire Weidner exchange that I published on our website . (Weidner is referred to as “Alvin Wiley” and Vincent Bridges is referred to as “Vincent Bridges” in some articles.) Some of the beliefs that Weidner espouses, that come up here and there in startling clarity, are truly scary. So, if Rense is a friend of Weidner, and it’s a certainty (in my mind, you read the material and decide for yourself) that Weidner is COINTELPRO, then a lot of strange connections begin to make sense.

Suffice it to say that Rense publishes attacks on Art Bell, and now DBS is publishing attacks on Rense AND Art Bell. Looks like a typical COINTELPRO three way food fight designed to divert and distract and make a lot of noise and confusion.

DBS: If Rense wants to promote UFOs, then he should return to his previous web site, www.sightings.com

LKJ: Rense can’t. He sold the domain to Henry Winkler, a noted Zionist.

Now, let’s get down to some direct analysis here. Last year, right about the time QFG was doing some research on some of these folks, an odd exchange took place between the above mentioned Jay Weidner and our webmaster. This may be very instructive in seeing how these types operate.

Laura,

Just last night I received 4 identical emails from “Jay Weidner”.  They all have identical content, and two are from jayweidner@sacredmysteries.com and two are from sharronrose@sacredmysteries.com.

The message looks form-letter-ish,and at first I thought it was a spam-out like Bridges did that once.

They are addressed to me personally, and state that I am the “web provider” for the “Vincent Bridges ” page at “http://www.cassiopaea.com/archive/maynerd-most-scam.htm“.

In very brief, they make accusations of “slander” and “defamation” because Jay’s name is mentioned in the article.  The one new twist here seems to be that they state (in bold-italics) that Cassiopaea is a competitor to his “Sacred Mysteries” (b/c of Ancient Science and the other books you are selling) — it appears to try to “establish motive” for the defamation charge.

Here is the email

Webmaster at Cassiopaea.com

[private home address deleted for privacy]

Dear Mr. L******:

Allow me to introduce myself.  My name is Jay Weidner.  I am the  president and co-owner of the company Sacred Mysteries Productions.

Our site can be found at sacredmysteries.com.

As you can see Sacred Mysteries produces books and videos on such topics as alchemy New Age and Fulcanelli.  I also do tours of Egypt with my  wife Sharron Rose and tour master Nicki Scully.

The reason I am writing to you is that you are the web provider for this site located here:

http://www.cassiopaea.com/archive/maynerd-most-scam.htm

As you can see from the article I am somehow associated with the tours of Magical Mystery Tours.  But a close perusal of the page in question quickly reveals that I am not part of Magical Mystery Tours nor do I go on these tours.  That company is owned strictly by Mr. Vincent Bridges.

A perusal of the site advertising Magical Mystery Tours located at :

http://www.vincentbridges.com/MMT/itinerary.html also clearly indicates that I nor Sacred Mysteries productions have anything to do with that tour operation.  I am not advertised on the site as being a member of Magical Mystery Tours nor am I a presenter, tour guide or anything at all for these tours.

In fact, outside of writing a couple of books with Mr. Vincent Bridges, I have NOTHING to do with him or his various businesses.

I have nothing to do with the tours nor does the article in question say that I have anything to do with it.

Yet the headline of the article in question mentions my name clearly and clearly associates me with the company.  Furthermore the company and the tours are also clearly labeled a ‘scam’.  While the tour company may or may not be a ‘scam’ it is clear from the reading of the article that ‘Jay Weidner’ has nothing to do with the company.  So why is my name mentioned in the article, especially in the headline?

Interestingly enough the writer of the article is associated with cassiopaea.org and the article appears on that site which is placed on your web provider service.  Cassiopaea.org clearly sells products, books etc. on alchemy, New Age ideas and Fulcanelli.

In other words Cassiopaea.org is a competitor with my company Sacred Mysteries.

It is clear to me, to my lawyer and to anyone else reading the article that the arbitrary relationship suggested in the headline is purely designed to defame Sacred Mysteries and therefore me.  As cassiopaea.org is a main competitor with Sacred Mysteries there can be no doubt that this headline is designed to defame and slander my company and me in order to help destroy it.

It is obvious that this defamation is being done by a competitor in the same exact marketplace as Sacred Mysteries Productions.

While Sacred Mysteries enjoys competition it is obvious that the unproven allegations against me in this article are designed to destroy Sacred Mysteries Productions and is clearly placed there to hurt my business.

That is a clear violation of the rules of the web.  While Ms Laura Knight Jadczyk is free to say anything about me that is provable, it is defamatory to Sacred Mysteries and myself to say something that is unproven and false.  It is designed to solely to give cassiopaea.org an upper hand in our mutual competition in the open marketplace.

It is like the head of General Motors writing a defamatory article with unproven allegations about the head of Ford Motors.

This is clearly a violation of web use rules and it also a violation of several Canadian laws designed to protect businesses and individuals from unfair and defamatory suggestions that are designed to hurt another company, especially one in competition in the same marketplace.

Please  see: http://www.angelfire.com/ca2/defamation/defamation.html and

http://www.wired.com/news/business/0,1367,38734,00.html

I am asking you to take down the article or have it changed to state the truth.  Since Sacred Mysteries or I have NOTHING to do with Magical Mystery Tours that makes you and your web provider service one hundred percent responsible for any damages that ensue.

Please either remove the article or any reference to ‘Jay Weidner’ in the article.

I will give you a limited period of time to correct the situation.

In the meantime, if Sacred Mysteries Productions loses one contract or one customer due to the defamatory nature of the article I will be forced to hold you and your company completely responsible for the loss and will hold you accountable.

If you have any questions concerning this very serious matter please contact me immediately.

My number is Seattle is 206 417 9969.

Sincerely,

Jay Weidner
President
Sacred Mysteries Productions

Well, it was Vinnie’s article that mentioned him and claimed that Jay Weidner was the partner, not me.

We aren’t competing with him.  As it happens, Cass was well established long before he had “sacred mysteries” and long before he wrote his books.  However, since he is now saying that he is not associated with Vincent Bridges and his operation, I will be happy to remove his name from the file and add a note that he complained and claims that he is not in any way associated with Vincent Bridges.

Hi,

After thinking about the matter a bit, I thought I ought to share with you an email a reader sent me from the now defunct Matrioshka List two years ago – where Vincent Bridges and Storm Bear Williams, his hacking buddy, held court.  It was apparently posted by Storm Bear to the list by accident since it was obviously a private email to Jay Weidner.

What is important is that it is a follow up to all that nonsense that Jay Weidner was writing to me that is posted at: http://www.cassiopaea.com/archive/wiley3.htm where Jay Weidner has been given the pseudonym “Alvin Wiley,” and it shows clearly that Jay Weidner was not the owner of Sacred Mysteries nor did he have any of his enterprise going on at that point in time, while we certainly had Ancient Science out there then… it came out in its first edition in 2002.

The first part is Storm Bear ranting at Jay, and Jay’s original letter to Storm Bear is at the end.  Sounds a lot like the email he wrote to you.

AND you have the intestinal gaul to blame your ineptitude and horrendous business acumen on Vincent. Let me know when you plan to start taking responsibility for your own life and stop blaming others for the black hole you are in.

I can’t really blame Vincent and Darlene for being cautious with you. Who knows when you are going to fly off the handle and start spouting bullshit or devolve into some other abnormal mode of behavior. I still am shock that you bought into the Cassiopaeans. Fiber protects. Cheese endangers. Remember that Jay.

You point blank tried to seize EVERYTHING in the Aethyrea catalog (Me, John Major Jenkins, every word Vincent ever wrote, Steve Crockett, etc.) Was that your plan? Try to take control of Aethyrea and steal the copyrights of 12 or so books? Were you going to share the loot with the Cult in Florida?

Clever.

Enron clever.

I am the sole owner of SacredMysteries.com and I will do with it as I see fit. You are the one who let it lapse. Your ownership expired on October 31, 2001 and I bought it in April of 2002. That is SIX months.

I had considered selling it back to you for what I have in domain and other fees once you settled your HUGE debt with Vincent and Darlene, but I see that is never going to be the case. As I see it, if you are betting that I forgot you tried to steal my work, then you are also probably betting that Vincent and Darlene will role over and let you fuck them some more.

They have never ONCE lied to me. You on the other hand have tried to steal the copyrights of FIVE of my books and THEN had the brass to email me today and lie about it. ” I am also not sure if you really believe it when Vincent says that I was attempting to ‘steal your copyrights.” You are the one who emailed me and threatened me with arrest, not Vincent.

Who in the world do you think I am going to believe or trust?

Do NOT fucking email me again.

If I hear ONE word coming from you OR your retched colon, you will be amazed what I do with the SacredMysteries.com.

And you thought PayMeNow.net was bad.

Vincent Bridges seems to have removed Jay Weidner’s name from his website on the pages that you click through to from the Scam article on cass.com.

Hmm… I just connected home, and had another email from “sharonrose”.   It’s almost like he anticipated your comment here.  And he’s getting a little more threatening.  It seems strange that he’s in such a rush to remove something that he complains about me not responding in <17 hours…  (His original message was dated at 3:00 pm yesterday, and this one is 8:00 am today.)

Mr.  L**********

I have just seen a copy of the original ad for Magical Mystery Tours.  I  am sure that you must also have a copy because it was on the cassiopaea  site until February 14th 2005.

Believe it or not someone has added my name to the Magical Mystery Tour  description.  And it could have only been done by you or Laura Knight Jadczyk.

Let get this straight:  My name was added to the tour within the last week even though I was not mentioned on this same page on cassiopaea.org  until Feb 15 2005.

I hope you understand the implications of this.

Someone is adding my name to the tours of which I had nothing to do with.  This is a lie of  the highest order and it is done with the sole intention of trying to destroy me and my company Sacred Mysteries.

You, as provider for cassiopaea.org are completely responsible for what happens on that site.  I can now prove beyond any shadow of a doubt that  the information on the offending page was completely contrived by either you or someone associated with the cassiopaea.org.

It is one thing to mistakenly assume that I am part of a tour that may  or may not have happened.  It is a crime to add my name to the page when it was never there.As you have not responded yet and as you have not taken down the page I can only assume that you are part of the crime.

Therefore I will be geting an attorney in Calgary (one of my best friends lives there.  He may be paying you a visit)You can expect this to go all the way.

Sincerely,

Jay Weidner

Oh, that’s rich.

I think that what actually happened was that since we updated the site, adding a new sidebar, google just picked it up and shot it to the top of page rankings because it is a certainty that NOTHING was added other than the navigation bar!

Okay, try to help the guy out before he has apoplexy.  I’ll publish his letter, make a public apology, and remove his name from the title, but leave it in the Vinnie article and just mention that obviously Vinnie is in the business of defaming honest and “hardworking” folks like Jay Weidner…

That suggests that they are actually working together, doesn’t it?

Here it is with Weidner’s name still there on the webarchive:

Where it says, dated: June 7th through June 14th 2003

Join the authors of A Monument to the End of Time — the only full scale examination of Fulcanelli’s masterpiece — Vincent Bridges and Jay Weidner, as they reveal the meaning of the secrets hidden in plain sight on and within the Gothic cathedrals of Paris, Amiens and Chartres. With Fulcanelli’s masterpiece for a guidebook, and the on-site help of our guide Yanka Marie De Rokay, this truly one of a kind tour reveals the initiatory pattern at the heart of alchemy, the great secret itself. It also raises the even more interesting question of how the secret came to be carved on the front of cathedrals.

Yup, seems they removed his name from the 2003 page on Bridges site, but as we see, it is on the webarchive and Jay certainly knew it WAS there. So he’s simply lying, whining and screaming…

So, his accusations that WE added his name become rather slanderous, don’t they?

I’ll get the webarchive pages certified for evidence if it is ever needed.

I’m still willing to work with the guy.  Unlike Weidner and Bridges, I DO have a heart and if I am left alone, I am willing to leave them alone.

He hasn’t really been bothering us, and I don’t want to deprive the guy of his livelihood.

But, I also know that he is a slimy liar and not to be trusted for one instant…

So, how to deal with him???

Don’t answer him at all just yet.  Let me think… I think it’s time to send the exchange off to our legal advisor for a bit of advice…

Jay is absolutely cracking me up!

There it is, big as life, on the webarchive, and he has the gall to accuse me of adding it?!

Oh, this is RICH!

Don’t mention it until I get it legally certified and hear back from the legal eagle.

Have saved all the Vincent Bridges pages on the webarchive as pdf files.  Have written to the legal certification team to get them all witnessed and certified as being on the web as they are this instant in case they get scrubbed.

This one is sacred mysteries while Storm Bear owned it… it is clearly defamatory towards US!

sacredmysteries.com on Nov 29, 2002

Here is Sacred Mysteries AFTER the email from Stormbear to Jay when Jay was begging for the domain.  Apparently he got it…

sacredmysteries.com on Jan 25, 2003

Wonder what he had to pay/do to get it from Storm Bear. Sounds to me like all kinds of weird stuff goes on among that bunch of grifters.

Then, there was cass.net… which Jay owns and which is clearly defamatory…

cass.net

Yes, he took it down as he said he did and that is why I am willing to work with him. I think he has just been maneuvering and manipulating to disconnect himself from Bridges and has stepped all over us just to try to convince Bridges that he is his pal.

Sometimes I really feel sorry for the guy. I used to think he was no match for Bridges cunning, but now I wonder. He isn’t doing too badly. More power to him. He put one over on Vinnie (unless, of course, which is entirely possible, they are now playing “good cop/bad cop” again.)

The ball is really in his court.

Hmm, further developments.

Sometime this afternoon (I think before I sent my email), Jay Weidner phoned my home number and left a message.

Basically, he started off sort of pseudo-friendly, saying that he was going to be in Calgary sometime next week (I forget which day), and he’d like to stop by and see me.  Then he went on to say that if the page wasn’t changed, etc, etc, he’d have to “take things on to the next step”, which was “well, you’ll see”, injecting comments about getting a lawyer, etc.  The message kind of scared my wife.

Anyway, he certainly seems to be very anxious about this issue!

Hi,

Our legal eagle has completed a letter and affidavit for Weidner to sign so that we can remove his name from the website.  But, before we send him the legal documents, send him the following email (based on legal advice).

Dear Mr. Weidner,

I am in the concluding stages of investigating the serious matter you have brought to my attention.  Could you forward to me your full name, mailing address,  registered name and address of your company  with company number, state of incorporation, date of incorporation, (concerning “Sacred Mysteries”) so that I may send you a document to be signed before I can authorize any changes to the website as you have requested.

Thank you,

Webmaster at Cassiopaea.com

Dear Mr. Weidner

Thank you for your emails.  As you can appreciate I take the matters that you have brought to my attention and the manner in which you have done so very seriously and will be prepared to take the appropriate action as the need arises.

In your emails you threaten me with not only legal action but “a visit” from your friend the attorney.  You also threaten that I “can expect this to go all the way” and you state that I have committed a crime against you.

Given that all this correspondence arrived within 24 hours and you then followed it with your threatening telephone message and that this is the first time I have ever heard from you I find your approach excessively aggressive.

I would suggest that we can resolve these matters in a reasonable and mature manner as set out below.  However, in the meantime I would remind you that both in the United States and Canada to threaten me in the manner that you have is a felony.  As a resident of the United States, threatening a foreign person is a matter that falls within the jurisdiction of the US Justice Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.  Should you threaten me or cause or procure any other party to pressure, coerce, threaten, meet or talk with me or any members of my family or any other party with whom I am associated I shall not hesitate to report the activity to the appropriate authorities and pursue all civil and other legal recourse available.

In order to assist you in your request that changes be made to the website that you refer to I must ensure that we are absolutely clear as to the facts of the matter.  As soon as the facts are established I shall do what I can to meet your requests based upon the facts.

In order to establish the facts please could you therefore provide me with a sworn and notarized Affidavit.  Attached to this mail is the text of the Affidavit that I require.  It has been drawn up in your own words as set out in your emails of [    ] February 2005 and [   ] February 2005 and as such should not cause you any problem.  I will require two original copies which I suggest you send by courier to avoid unnecessary delays.

In the event that I do not have two original copies of your Statutory Declaration and Affidavit within ten days from the date hereof I shall assume that you no longer wish to pursue this matter and that the charges and accusations that you level have no substance and can therefore be treated accordingly.

Yours sincerely

Webmaster at Cassiopaea.org

Webmaster at Cassiopaea.com:

I see that you have decided to keep the ‘scam’ article up even though there is no visible ‘scam’ in the article and even though it was all presented by Vincent Bridges tour company.  A company that I have nothing to do with.

I am retaining a lawyer in this matter as Canadian laws are quite explicit concerning defamation.  You will be held one hundred percent responsible for the thousands of dollars already lost because of this defamation.

I do not wish to go this route.  I actually like and admire Laura Knight Jadczyk and have been caught between her and Mr. Bridges web war for a long time.

I actually also agree with her conclusions concerning Mr. Bridges.  I have had zero to do with him for years.  In fact the writing of the last book nearly erupted into a full scale war between the two of us causing our publisher many headaches.  Needless to say all of the trouble was caused by Mr. Bridges.

I would like to make peace with Laura and her husband Ark.  I have taken down all articles concerning the cassiopaeans on cassiopaea.net.  They have been down since June 2004.  I thought that this would send a clear message to the two of them that I was not interested in the stupid attacks by Bridges directed towards them.

I also asked Mr. Bridges to remove all articles concerning my dealings with Laura and Ark off of his website vincentbridges.com.  Of course he has refused.  I am currently also retaining an attorney to stop him from publishing these articles.  Also you should know that Vincent attached my name to the articles supposed written by me after doing all of the writing himself.  These include ‘Jay Weidner Laura Knight Jadczyk and the Cassiopaeans’ and ‘Who are the Cassiopaeans’.

I would write to Laura and Ark concerning these issues and many more but I am afraid that they will violate my privacy and print them on their site.  I am also afraid that you will do the same.  While this is an audacious act it does little to facilitate communication between us.

So that’s it.  I don’t want to hurt them and I am sorry that I may have done so in the past.  I am ready to quit the shooting war but, as I cannot communicate with them, I am at a loss to figure out a way to do it.

I will not have any contact with Vincent Bridges unless it is through my lawyer.

That all said I wish that you would remove my name from the site.  I will be forced to take legal action and I don’t want you and I to spend all of our money on lawyers.

I hope you see my point and can help us all get this behind us.

Thanks

Jay Weidner

Hi,

Well, since he was so hot to claim damages to his “company” and so anxious to get the page changed, this is rather odd.  One thing that comes to mind, since you put him “on the spot” about said company, is that maybe he does NOT have a “real company” so to say.  Maybe that is the hold up.  Maybe he doesn’t have a “company number” or any legal corporation.

If that is the case, then it means his whole thing was a load of hot air trying to intimidate…

Just speculating.

I just checked my mail today, and got a card for a Registered Letter. I picked it up at the post office, and it’s from Jay.

[Scanned copies were faxed to you for viewing]

The letter appears to be identical to the original emails, and according to the postmark was sent on the 17th, which is the Thursday that he phoned and sent more emails (Weds 16th was the first email).

(The message was delivered the 23rd, but I hadn’t checked the mail until today.)

That’s quite a moving center he’s got ;-)

Since the content is nothing new, I don’t think it changes anything.  We’re still waiting on him…

Webmaster at Cassiopaea.com:

The name of the company is sacredmysteries.com DBA Sacred Mysteries Distribution.  We are a Colorado corporation that is registered as a foreign corporations (i.e. out of state) in Washington.

All of this can be easily discovered on the internet.

You must understand that I have had my life threatened repeatedly by Laura Knight Jadczyk. On the site that you are the provider I am called a ‘psychopath’ and many other horrible things.

In this light I do not believe that you will keep any information that I give you in confidence. I am sure that you are sending everything on to Laura Knight Jadczyk.

I know that you created the Pentagon Strike video and commend you for you research. However I cannot trust the cassiopaeans. I have many emails from former followers and others who have attended their quantum school.  They warn me that she is obsessed with me in particular.

One student told me in an email that she asked him to find me and kill me.

I realize that she is a tragic figure, an alcoholic, abused child and probably a mind control slave for some intelligence agency, but that does not give her the right to constantly attack me. I have done nothing to her except that I tried to make peace between her and Vincent Bridges.  For that action I have been threatened, defamed and attacked.

The one thing that I have noticed about Laura is that whatever she accuses someone of – it is usually a reflection of her own deepest fears.  That is why she is so obsessed with ‘psychopaths’. This is why she constantly, reads, writes and speaks about them. She is exploring her own misbehavior and is projecting her deepest fears concerning herself out into the world.

Now she masquerades as a dissident, she escaped to France to hide the fake house raffle scam in which she stole $250,000 from many people. The F B I has her on a terrorist watch list and her organization probably has been infiltrated by French Intell.

If I was you I would be very careful.

Now you are asking me for personal information. Since I first wrote to you a couple of weeks ago the cassiopaea site has been flooded with more and more defamatory articles about me. This is no doubt due to your relaying my letters to you over to Laura Knight Jadczyk. I have no doubt that you will be sending this letter also.

Realize that you are now directly implicated in this ordeal. Like it or not you have now touched the tar baby and it will never go away. If I go public with what I know about Laura Knight Jadczyk ( and I know a lot!) I will be forced to bring up your name as one of the people who has defamed me.

So please, let us get this all behind us. I will remain silent on all matters as long as my name is removed from the cassiopaea site.  That’s the deal.

Sincerely,

Jay Weidner

Mr. Weidner,

I am still waiting for your full legal name, registered name and legal mailing address of your company with company number, state of incorporation, date of incorporation, (concerning “Sacred Mysteries”) so that I may enter them into the affidavit that I will forward to you via mail, that must be signed before I can authorize any changes to the website as you have requested.

An unsigned registered letter without those details does not assist me in my efforts to assist you.

Since you have indicated that “time is of the essence,” let me advise you that it will take several days for google results to reflect any change, and said changes cannot be made without the required affidavit from you .

So, he is saying, basically “all the information you asked for can be easily discovered on the internet”, but “I’m afraid to tell you anything for fear that you are a tool of Laura”.

It’s very flattering to be credited with the Pentagon Strike video!

He doesn’t do much research, does he?

He’s clever enough to make some of his accusations indirect — “one student told me”, etc…  But some of them are just plain weird.

The bottom line of his “company info” is that he probably doesn’t even have  one.

We picked the legal eagle up from the airport this afternoon, but it is late and he  has gone to bed.  In the a.m., I’ll let him read Jay’s response and he can formulate a next step.

Sheesh… I still can’t believe the nonsense…

Quite different from the one he wrote the other day, eh?  Where he was sorry  for being so bad to us… sorry that he let Vinnie use his name and we never  did anything and all that.

Sheesh.  He ought to at least try to get his story straight.

Yeah, that might be the reason for the rant, too.  Very strange.

It’s interesting how terrified he is of his emails being used against  him — a little strange if all you were writing about was to say ” this page is slanderous, please remove it”.

And all we are trying to do is cooperate legally with full legal protection on our side.

Hi,

We have had a lengthy meeting with our legal advisor and, after going over the entire exchange, we  agree that he is “huffing and puffing” to try to “blow the house down.”

However, as I said, I would really like to just make peace and we would like to make one more try to get valid information for our own protection, assuming that he is serious in what he wants to accomplish. i.e. make peace and be done with it.

So, the following email has been written to (hopefully) elicit either a serious response or a lunatic rant – depending on which description really fits Weidner.  We can’t really tell just yet.

So, send it off and let’s see what happens next.

****************

Dear Mr Weidner

Thank you for your email of Monday 28th February 2005 (07:28:01) in which you threaten me again despite my polite attempts to help you.

The information that I have asked for is not personal as you yourself say that it is available on the internet yet you continue to avoid providing it.

I would point out to you that it is you who contacted me with your emails, telephone calls, and recently the recorded delivery by mail of copies of your previous emails, and that I am seeking to address the complaints you have made.  Yet you seem to be incapable of understanding the situation.

Let me put it simply:-

(i)  you contacted me via email, telephone and mail with certain complaints and threats,

(ii)  I have responded with a simple request for basic information in order that I may have an Affidavit drawn up based on your own statements to me in the above referenced communications,

(iii)  the Affidavit will be a simple, clear and unambiguous statement by you  of your existing claims and complaints including details of your company (which you claim is being damaged by certain internet content),

(iv)  as soon as I have two original copies of the Affidavit I will take all necessary and appropriate measures.

I therefore require you to provide the following information:-

(a) Your full legal name [                   ]*

(b) Your legal address.  This should be residential but may be your

company’s registered office. [                               ]*

(c) Your company name [                          ]*  Please clarify whether

the company name is Sacred Mysteries Productions, Sacred Mysteries

Distribution or sacredmysteries.com.

(d) Company registered address [                          ]*

(e) Company State of Incorporation [                        ]*

(f) Company number [                         ]*

(g) Company Date of Incorporation [                           ]*

(h) The number of books you have co-written with Mr Vincent Bridges.

* please fill in as appropriate.

As you state that your company is incorporated in the state of Colorado and registered as a foreign corporation in the state of Washington it will ease matters considerably if you provide the Colorado and Washington corporate documents.  These should be certified “true and exact” copies.

If you fail to provide this information I shall be left with no choice but to assume that you are a fraud and a fake and that all the statements and claims you make are without basis, merit or fact.  Should this be the case any further communications from you will be treated in the appropriate manner.

Well, I got a message back (10:50-ish, it said, and it’s 12:50-ish now) in which it looks like he hit “reply” and then hit “send”.  There is no added text, just the quotation of the full message I sent.  The subject line had “Re: “, so it wasn’t an attempt to forward it to someone…


Since no answer was returned from Jay Weidner after this last email to him in an attempt to get factual information so that we could deal with him decently, we decided to try a more direct approach.  Ark wrote to Jay as follows:

Dear Jay,

We hear that you are having some kind of problems, though we do not exactly know what kind of.

We (that is me, Ark, and also Laura) do not have any personal animosity towards you and we would be willing to help you – if only we can. We are busy with our stuff and you are busy with yours. There is no reason that we can see why we can’t “normalize” our relation. If that is what you are also seeking – let us know.

Ark:

No I am not having any problems, in fact my life has never been better.  My video production company is doing better beyond my dreams and I have finally achieved the independence that I have been seeking for years.

I would very much like to normalize our relations.  In fact I am currently in negotiations with a major US network to do a docmentary on Fulcanelli and would like to have Laura on camera for an interview.

I have not talked to VB [Vincent Bridges] in a year and a half nor will I ever speak, write or hopefully even think about him again.

I understand your problems with him.  Believe it or not I have fared far worse with him than you two. I expect that you may find that fact a little difficlt to believe, nevertheless it is true.

I can certainly understand your expose of him and regret that I EVER defended him.

The slogan for the 21st century is ‘No good deed goes unpunished” and I am proof of this.  I thought I could help him.  But it did no good.

So that’s it.  Tell Laura to keep up the great work.  I look forward to her next discussion on Fulcanelli.

My apologies for everything.

Hi Jay,

I my opinion Laura is The Best on this field. But I am her husband, so my opinion doesn’t count as much as when it comes from other researchers in the field.

Year and a half you say? You know, we have on one of our websites the page on “Magickal Mystery Tour Scam”. It comes to my mind that we could remove your name from there, and instead add the following note:

Note: The original ad for this tour lists Vincent Bridges and Jay Weidner as organizers. But Jay Weidner kindly informs us that his name was added there without his knowledge and consent.

Do you think such a note would be appropriate?

And best wishes for you.

Yes that would be nice.

I would also like to completely disassociate myself from Vincent.  If you could remove my name from anything to do with him I would appreciate it.  I am currently removing my two books with him from my web page and from Sacred Mysteries. I do not wish to give him any more positive advertising.

Thanks

Good luck to both of you.

Sincerely,

Jay Weidner
