No One Makes A Monkey Out Of Me (That's - Apparently - Just The Way We Are)

It's been within the last decade that I first said AI was overblown, and - lo and behold - Apple's finally agreed with me. It only took their college-educated engineers 10 years to see what a guy with a GED saw immediately. But that's about par for the course.

It's been over 15 years after TMR first wrote about San Francisco's One Taste cult - later researched in "Women Getting Squirrelly (And Collecting Nuts)" - when we read in NYC "Founders of ‘Orgasmic Meditation’ group found guilty of forcing employees into sex acts". DUH.

I mean, Wow. Seriously: That's not just an issue of time, but of space AND comprehension, too. Theres a lot of distance there, no matter how you look at it. And we're not just talking about One Taste, but how long it takes for American society to identify, and then act, against - not only the obvious but - what the society, itself, is doing. To itself. We're talking a really, really s-l-o-w response time. In the Information Age. What a mindfuck.

"Leaders of ‘orgasmic meditation’ wellness company convicted in forced labor trial" is a headline that proves, after almost two decades of linguistic conditioning, the media doesn't even know where the quotes go, whenever one of theses cults starts calling itself a "wellness company." What is a "wellness company"? What is "wellness"? Clearly, in the end, it has something to do with tricking people into doing things against their will,...to make them well. Well.

Here's something semi-related with bite in it:

"The consequences of,...scientific fraud are profound, as history shows. In 1998, Andrew Wakefield’s study in The Lancet falsely linked the MMR vaccine to autism. Though it was retracted in 2010 after evidence of data manipulation, vaccination rates dropped, leading to measles outbreaks. Public health efforts were diverted for years to counter this misinformation."

And those "consequences" - after Wakefield was disbarred for what amounted to racist experiments on black kids almost 30 years ago - also included being turned into a NewAge celebrity, dating Supermodel Elle MacPherson, and his buddy, RFK, Jr., becoming America's new director of health. So he's doing,...well. Because, as we all witnessed with our own eyes, nobody brought up Andrew Wakefield, even once, during RFK, Jr's supposedly-thorough Congressional vetting process. Because this is a society taking a really long time, to grasp what it's doing. To itself.

We make it very clear - looking at how we process 30 years of history - the truly amazing thing is that we grasp anything at all.

Cults Are NOT Here To Help You (And There's Practically No One Else, Either)

One Taste, San Francisco's 'orgasm cult,' has been charged by the F.B.I. with forcing women into sex acts. It's about time. TMR first started documenting the exploits of One Taste all the way back in 2008, so the wait, for the authorities to act, was brutal. Like the U.S. and Zionists killing Palestinians, it's been going on for so long, I lost hope in finding a solution for a long, long time.

I can still feel the hopelessness, even now.

But, that's how life goes, once you're forced into Cult World:

That's just the way life goes.

The Bottom Line To Blogging About Cults (Is The Bottom Line To Blogging)

The Macho Response is the only blog that gives you a serious heads-up on the world of cultism, both here and internationally, without getting all weird about it.

TMR was covering the NXIVM cult as far back as 2007, but the rest of the world knew nothing about them - even with the participation of Hillary Clinton and the Dalai Lama - until there was an internal rebellion in the ranks of branding, in 2019.

San Francisco's One Taste Urban Retreat Center is now getting the mainstream media treatment, but only after the FBI's involvement, which is coming long after TMR had been covering them - extensively - going back as far as 2008.

So what's it matter? What can a TMR reader expect to learn about the One Taste Urban Retreat Center, say, that they wouldn't learn anywhere else? Let's start with the fact a cult leader, Ken Wilber, wrote the book that helped inspire them, also titled "One Taste"? No mention of THAT in the other coverage I've seen.

Or how about the fact that cult leader, Ken Wilber, is also a good friend of former-President and accused rapist, Bill Clinton - the man who was deemed acceptable to vouch for Joe Biden's integrity at the 2020 Democratic Party National Convention? You could see how they'd want to stay hush-hush about that.

And then there's Ken Wilber's business partner, also an accused rapist, and the former "spiritual advisor" (whatever THAT is) to Whole Foods, the just uber-creepy, Marc Gafni? You don't think he wanted one taste? Just one?

I could go on, but you get the idea: the point is, you can learn a lot about what cults are talking about, and cultism in general, by hanging out here.
