I'm going to mention something that may illustrate how determined the other side has been to turn this unorganized network of self-starters into a personality cult.   Three and a half years ago, Sherry Shriner contacted me in email and offered to 'bring a lot of Christians into the gifting movement' if I would partner with her on the internet.   I politely declined because I feel very uncomfortable around anyone who claims to be God's voice to humanity.  I just don't think there are any prophets living right now, either.   Nor did I want any arbitrary hierarchies to develop within this movement.

To spice up the offer, she told me that according to 'Bible Code' I was a prophet and that orgonite was even mentioned in that context.  If I were inclined to have my ego stroked that way it might have been the end of my viability in this movement, of course. 

Six months later, a fellow whose name I promised not to mention any more in posts told me that he, too, had purchased this 'Bible Code' software and that 'Don Croft' is mentioned as a modern prophet.   He had let Sherry Shriner get his confidence and after praising me to high heaven for being 'mentioned as a prophet in the Bible' he then  harangued Carol and I for about an hour because we weren't 'Christians.' He was especially aggressive toward Carol on account of her witch orientation, then announced to me, 'You're an agnostic,' whatever that means.   I hadn't heard that this fellow converted to Christian fundamentalism but I've always felt that fundamentalism is just the flipside of Luciferic Theosophy--same level of awareness and the same belief paradigm.

Stupidly, I didn't object to any of that abusive behavior until I got fed up enough to tell our friend to just take a giant step off our @$$es.   I didn't doubt his sincerity and we were guests in his home that weekend.  We then discussed the viability of the expensive 'Bible Code' software he had just bought and the apparent source, then he agreed that he'd been scammed successfully by this militant preacher gal and also by whoever composed and promoted the software program.  I had the impression that his previous history as a Theosophy/masonic/Rosicrucian guru had influenced him to accept such a silly, irresponsible paradigm without questioning it.

I think it was around that time that Sherry Shriner started posting on her website that 'Carol's a satanist' and that all the orgonite we make and recommend is very, very bad; only Sherry Shriner's orgonite and formulae were acceptable by then, according to Shriner.

You might never have heard of this woman, which is partly why I'm mentioning her as an illustrative example.  I just felt that a little more history might be in order for now, considering the passing upheaval that's being  directed at me.  See why I automatically distrust charisma?  Other charismatic 'movers and shakers' have come along, then also have discredited themselves. I don't think I need to mention any of them, again.  I honestly thought there wouldn't be any more. Maybe there won't, after this.

The visit with our friend happened at the same time (August, 2004) that Etheric Warriors got started (Steeve Debellefuille generously offered to set up EW, then) and I had felt constrained to stop participating on Etheric Freedom Fighters on account of some very clever, orchestrated subterfuge, which was well under way before I caught onto it.   A year before that, I was literally driven from cloud-busters.com by aggressive saboteurs and EFF was apparently set up, in a timely way, to enable the sewer rats to keep a finger in the pie.  I don't think EW's genesis followed that pattern.

Several very nice, accomplished people (whose opinion of Carol, the unnamed friend and me was successfully influenced by clever slander promoted, behind our backs, by the hosts of EFF and c-b.com)  shunned me after those decisions, too, and of the forty reputable gifters I invited to post on EW, only half a dozen or so actually posted anything for the next five months, then EW started to breathe and by now there are a score or so of regular contributors who are generating a fine body of empirical evidence of the phenomenal power of orgonite and related technology.   It felt like the rest were just waiting to see whether Carol and I would survive the character assaults in progress. 

In that few months of relative inactivity we found and expelled half a dozen moles among the forty people whose participation seemed appropriate to Carol, No-Name and me. I think those few had to raise their heads and take a swipe at us before we could get forward momentum, again.  Several more made that move a year later, though I think one of those was simply playing Pied Piper to the others. In every case, the quality and quantity of EW postings improved, as is happening again, now, already.

I once exposed a confessed pedophile to the police (1994).  My testimony to a dedicated police detective is what got him convicted and sent to prison; the prosecutor and judge tried to get him off the hook but that cop was like a pitbull and those freaks had to relent . There are LOTS of pedophiles in the American Justice System, of course.

The pedophile was a 'really nice guy' to most people who knew him but I had found him to be manipulative and aggressive in his saccharine niceness.  When someone close to me was told by this guy's wife that he's a pedophile and that he never had sex with her, I confronted him about her accusation and he told me about his activities over the previous ten years or so.  I guess he didn't feel threatened by me. In fact, he blamed the children for 'enticing him.'  No kidding--he wanted my sympathy. Can it get more bizarre than that? 

When he finally went to jail after the mother of a molested 8-year-old boy turned him in, several very nice people who had a high opinion of him told me that I'm a real jerk for not 'understanding and forgiving' this predator.  They didn't want him to be held accountable for ruining all those children's (boys and girls) lives, in fact. 

The very, very nice people in this network who have shunned me after I made some strategic, harmless decisions also don't want me to hold troublemakers accountable.

I didn't hate the guy, of course, but I sure hated what he was getting away with.  I hate subterfuge and slander almost as much as pedophelia.

I don't hate the little crew of detractors, though, who dog Carol and I around the clock from other websites, waiting for a chance to slip a knife into our reputations  but I sure do intend to 'answer back' in a generic way, whenever our  well-earned reputations are gratuitously assaulted. Please keep sending me the specific points of their backbiting so I can continue to answer them publicly and without pointing at them, okay?

After all, we've spent seven years and all of our material resources in this healing effort and we'd like to stick around and perhaps enjoy the fruits of it, someday--after global tyranny has finally been discarded like skidmarked underwear, perhaps.  We're enjoying the time spent with  our fellow warriors, at least, and that's saying an awful lot.  I can't express how fortunate and grateful we are for that.  I'm doubly grateful for the large volume of exemplary reports and achievements on EW!  If you were a sewer rat this standup forum would probably drive you nuts, too, but our detractors' aggression and determination are one of the best evidences of EW's viability.

Thanks, folks, for focusing on this wonderful work we're all doing instead of perpetuating infantile soap opera scenarios, 'legends in their own minds' and idle fancies.
