| tater User ID: 783904 10/01/2009 11:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I found this article may be very fitting with ZetaTalk. Let's see how many of these criteria fit Nancy and ZetaTalk. Marcia Rudin's 14 Common Characteristics of a Cult 1. Members swear total allegiance to an all-powerful leader who they believe to be the Messiah. 2. Rational thought is discouraged or forbidden. 3. The cult's recruitment techniques are often deceptive. 4. The cult weakens the follower psychologically by making him or her depend upon the group to solve his or her problems. 5. The cults manipulate guilt to their advantage. 6. The cult leader makes all the career and life decision of the members. 7. Cults exist only for their own material survival and make false promises to work to improve society. 8. Cult members often work fulltime for the group for little or no pay. 9. Cult members are isolated from the outside world and any reality testing it could provide. 10. Cults are anti-woman, anti-child, and anti-family. 11. Cults are apocalyptic and believe themselves to be the remnant who will survive the soon-approaching end of the world. 12. Many cults follow an "ends justify the means" philosophy. 13. Cults, particularly in regard to their finances, are shrouded in secrecy. 14. There is frequently an aura of or potential for violence around cults. Commentary by Nori J. Muster If you think you might be involved in a cult, ask yourself some serious questions about the group. Do you have to change who you are to fit in, please others? Do they set up a duality of "us" and "them" and tell you that people outside the group are bad, less important? Do they treat "outsiders" badly or talk behind their backs? Do they treat members badly? Do they give a false impression to the public? Do they predict that society is on the brink of destruction? Further symptoms: Cult leaders are often psychopathic and power hungry. They teach their followers that the outside world is evil; that the cult offers the only salvation. This creates an atmosphere of isolation, leading to hopelessness. Cult recruiters target people with low self-esteem, presenting the group as a loving surrogate family. Members are taught to do whatever the family asks. They must repress their individuality and work for the good of the group. New people may receive red carpet treatment, but once they are established members, they may be exploited and abused. They may alter their personalities to please authority figures and fit into the group. Cult leaders preach that society is on the brink of destruction, reinforced by isolating their members and controlling the flow of information within the cult. They manipulate members with guilt and fear. Cults try to portray themselves as benign and may hide undesirable aspects of their operation from the public and from members. Thus the stereotype of "blind" followers. |

Quoting: Circuit BreakerNaturally, Max, Andrew and Gerard will deny that. But they're rather wrapped up in ZetaTalk and can't see it so of course they'll deny it. ZetaTalk is NOT a cult! The best advice we can give on this matter is to read with your heart as well as your mind. Follow the flow, let the nuances lie unanswered and unchallenged in your mind. Treat this as a garden you are walking through for the first time, and experience it fully without trying to categorize it! Much of what you will learn will be processed in your subconscious, and influence your conscious mind later. If you must dissect each phrase, and correlate it with each piece of information taken from another source, you will trash much of what you could otherwise gain. Live in the gray, not always insisting on black and white and strict compartmentalizations. ZetaTalk: Oahspe Note: written Apr 15, 1997. [link to www.zetatalk.com] ZetaMax |

| Circuit Breaker User ID: 766491 10/01/2009 11:25 AM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | As we all know, Nancy had some images taken at coordinates given to her by the "Zetas" and then those images were analyzed with Nancy declaring that "Planet X" was found. Whether it was or wasn't isn't really important. But, that leaves me with some questions: If "Planet X" is here now, as Nancy and Gerard maintain, then why hasn't she gotten the location from the "Zetas" and had someone she trusts take some new images? They could easily obtain their own telescope and do it. Since "Planet X" is supposedly somewhere near the sun, they wouldn't have needed an elaborate and expensive telescope. They could probably get everything they needed for around $500. Or, they could go all out. Hap offered the use of his professional grade equipment. All Nancy had to do was go herself or appoint someone she trusted to do it for her. This would have been the best solution. For one thing, we know the equipment would have been of good quality and properly set up. Second, we know the observation methods used would be sound. Third, there would be witnesses...bunker and debunker. And finally, if "Planet X" was found...it would have been done on equipment owned by a debunker. All of this would have made it the ultimate win-win situation for Nancy. There would be no more debate or argument. They'd be able to rub our little debunker noses in it. And yet, none of them have tried either method. Why? Gerard...Andrew? Care to explain that one? A voice of reason in a world of woo-woos. |

Stalin was in Lenin's surrounding and he (Stalin) was eager for power from the very beginning, and had secret disdain for Lenin, exactly because his idealism and dedication, which were not in Stalins intent. You are so stupid Andrew ... unbelievable ... look here: [link to en.wikipedia.org] "The campaign of mass repressions was officially initiated as retribution for the assassination of Petrograd Cheka leader Moisei Uritsky, and attempted assassination of Vladimir Lenin by Fanya Kaplan on August 30, 1918. While recovering from his wounds, Lenin instructed: "It is necessary - secretly and urgently to prepare the terror" [10] Even before the assassinations, Lenin was sending telegrams "to introduce mass terror" in Nizhny Novgorod in response to a suspected civilian uprising there, and "crush" landowners in Penza who protested, sometimes violently, to requisition of their grain by military detachments:[2] "Comrades!... You must make example of these people. (1) Hang (I mean hang publicly, so that people see it) at least 100 kulaks, rich bastards, and known bloodsuckers. (2) Publish their names. (3) Seize all their grain. (4) Single out the hostages per my instructions in yesterday's telegram." Five hundred "representatives of overthrown classes" were executed immediately by the Bolshevik communist government after the assassination of Uritsky [3]." |

| andrew User ID: 783807 10/01/2009 11:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | and what does that look like? Quoting: Circuit Breakerright, Zetas RIGHT Again! No one knows what it looks like. But it had nothing to do with some "Planet X." For one thing, the "Zetas" say planets shouldn't collide because of the "repulsion force." Besides, no one knows for certain that there was a collision. It's only a hypothesis based on the evidence at hand. Zetas WRONG again!! that was not a PLANET that hit the early Earth, but an asterpoid, one of Planet X "moons". it gave Earth a gaping wound where the Pacific is now. all that "continental drift" is attempts by the Earth crust to "heal" itself, fill the gap. "objects of approximate same size" it says, read it more carefully. |
