Unleash the heckling...

Post by weemadando »

OK. The "Mind Body Spirit" expo is returning soon. This being the place where the palm readers, tarot readers, psychics, nutcases, fundies, rock-churchers, conspiracy theorists and quacks all get together for a circle wank.

This is the place where I got to have a go at this guy.

Now, I have a couple of gags/pisstakes planned, but please, anyone with some suggestions/requests let me now about it here.

Oh, for the love of my sweet ass, not ANOTHER bunch of new-age fucktards thinking the Maya calendar is going to end in 2012!
It ain't gonna end, IDIOTS! It's going to roll over to the next cycle the way a car's odometer does.
There's a long count date that goes tens of trillions of years into the future. My copy of the book is lost, but it's A Forest of Kings by Linda Schele and David Friedle.
(edit) I lied, It's Maya Cosmos by Linda Schele, David Freidel, and Joy Parker. And if anyone is actually familiar with Maya calendrics, the date is:
13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.0.0.0.0 4Ahaw 8 Kumk'u. This is the zero date of the Maya calendar, written in an extremely rare form showing the higher counts set at 13, they roll over to 1 at the turnover point.

You should rent out a space in there and pretend to be a fortune teller. You could make some serious cash! Just tell people things like, "I see a woman..." and then let them fill in the blanks. Hell, John Edwards does it.

I went to a fortune teller once with my 1st fiance. The fortune teller told us we would have a long and happy life, she died 2 months later. About a year ago i encountered the same fortune teller, after i screamed in her face and pissed on her caravan i felt a bit better.

I say you should help these people, and get in by pretending to be a fortune teller, and then tell people how this psychic stuff is all bullshit.

In this instance, I could not agree more. I read that and all I could hear was 'Age of Aquarious'

I couldn't even get through the first page before my bullshit meter went so far off the scale I started getting a nervous tic. Anything you can dream up is too tame for people like that.

Well, look at it this way, there is a fortune to be made from preeching that garbage to the gullible, and the gullible are so easy to fleese.

It was the Brotherhood who created the New Age Movement to divert the awakening. The term New Age is the name of a Freemasonic magazine. A mind controlled slave of the American Government, now recovering, confirmed to me that the New Age was launched covertly by the brotherhood and others. Whenever I have made these points, New Agers have dismissed the idea because, they say, the Brotherhood would not want the people to encompass a different view of life. No, not in an ideal world they wouldn't, but this is not an ideal world for them because the energy changes are waking people up. The Brotherhood knew this was coming and what its affect would be. They couldn't jump in a spacecraft and fiddle with the Sun or go into the centre of the galaxy to switch off the new vibration. Their only alternative was to hijack the awakening consciousness and lead it into another cul-de-sac, another rules-and-regulations- religion, where it would be no threat to the Brotherhood Agenda.
From the nut-cases site... My god I forgot how deluded this guy was. I need to get the "reptile eye" contact lenses for next time I talk to him, just to really send him off the edge.

Oh, thought of one just in case there is an Alex Chiu cultist there.

Me: Physical Immortality?

CC: Yes. While wearing this ring your body cannot age and you cannot die.

Me: Really?

CC: Yes. Its due to the wonders of magnetism interacting with the bodies energies, you cannot -
