Nice find.<br>I reallly like this guy and have been interested in him since the Moon crowning.<br><br>That "What The Bleep Do We Know" film felt, to me, like a cult recruitment film, as he astutely observes.<br>I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who thinks so.<br><br>I'm not a hater or a religious nutbar, but almost 20 years after the Harmonic Convergence, I still can't stand these crystal-rubbing, tree-hugging nutbars.<br>Just a bunch of yuppie escapists who would rather hide away from the world "saying positive affirmations to heal the planet" than actually get off their lazy solipsistic a$$es and do something.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

He's apparently going to be branching out and covering a variety of cults, according to a friend of a friend. <p></p><i></i>

Man o man, the group I hung with LOVED What the Bleep do we Know.<br><br>When I watched it, I could sorta buy into some of the general, "well, we don't know, so let's try this" philosophy, but I could not believe that in between the scientists, scholars, physicists, and psychiatrists, they gave us ...uh....RAMTHA, the notorious 35,000 year old ancient warrior-lord/master teacher from Atlantis (as channeled by JZ)? And Ramtha got the huge air-time.<br><br>It didn't take too much digging to learn that the directors of the movie were members of Ramtha's School of Enlightenment. As were many of the scientists and scholars, with the exception of the dark-haired nervous-type fellow with the expressive wrists who spoke in a classroom in front of a chalk board, Dr David Alpert, professor and director of philosophical physics at Colombia University. Said publically several times that nearly every quote of his the movie used was taken out of context, that he was interviewed for four hours and tried to convince the Ramsters that they were wrong. <br> <br>And the sensitive water crystals? Beautiful theory, but Dr. Emoto's studies aren't peer-reviewed. That kinda makes him a artist, no?<br> <p></p><i></i>

I used to read Gorenfeld's blog, Where In the World Is Sun Myung Moon or something like that (I'm not at my own computer right now), and I hated to see that he terminated the blog this year. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=chiggerbit@rigorousintuition>chiggerbit</A> at: 8/5/06 12:10 am<br></i>

In the National Review he attacked the "Enemy": "Combining illegal and legal, violent and non-violent tactics, these so-called "green" revolutionaries employ Lenin's tactical code: Conceal one's true objectives, and mobilize "useful idiots." Led by the likes of Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, and Rainforest Action Network this cult of the latter-day Left crusades against every consumer, marketer, or developer of natural resource-based products. No producer or consumer is immune. They target people who drink milk, use electricity, live in a home built of wood or consume paper products made of wood, drive a car, take Viagra, or enjoy seedless watermelon."<br><br>In fact Wallop, and his co-author, L. Francis Bouchey, also from the Frontiers of Freedom Institute, used the old Wise Use analogy that environmentalists were all watermelons, green on the outside, but red inside. Under the headline "From Red to Green?" they noted that within recent history there was "The lineage from red to green to eco-radicalism and violence."<br><br>Bouchey, who started off in Young Americans for Freedom back in the 60's, was working for Moon's Unification Church by 1980. In the 80's, he was associated with such Moon-related groups as CAUSA and the American Freedom Coalition. He was also the leader of the Council for Inter-American Security, another group with extensive ties to Moon that had a great deal of input into Reagan's Latin American policy and his support for the Contras.<br><br>I'd been wondering what Bouchey had been doing with himself since the 80's, but I can't say I'm exactly happy to see him show up here. <br><br>The real question, of course, is whether there's any connection between GOPUSA and Frontiers of Freedom aside from their having Kerri Houston in common. <br> Printer Friendly | Permalink | | Top <br> starroute (1000+ posts) Sat Feb-12-05 09:19 PM<br>Response to Reply #138 <br>140.
