So, what has been made to look like a turf war between New Age gurus turns out to be something else entirely. A little digging shows that all is not what it appears to be in this case. In fact, that digging reveals what appears to be a precedent-setting hatchet job that should set off some very loud alarm bells for anyone who holds their constitutional freedoms dear, most particularly their rights to free speech. To understand why and what the results of this case could mean to us all requires a little understanding of the parties involved in this suit.
The Parties
The above mentioned Willamette Week Online article takes the view that, "The lawsuit is really a battle between two people." Nothing could be further from the truth. While it was Pepin who was allegedly libeled on the sott.net forum, he did not file the suit. Instead, Pepin used his company, Higher Balance LLC, as a sort of legal shield to file the suit, naming not only Laura Knight-Jadczyk but seemingly every organization he could find that she might be involved with or connected to. One might imagine, given the fact that Pepin had the court records of his statutory rape trial sealed, that he chose not to file the suit himself for fear of those records being unsealed during the proceedings.
If this were only a battle between two people it would be of less interest. What is important about this suit is it's potential ability to bring down an entire news and research organization because of a public conversation.
Quantum Future Group, the first defendant named, maintains a website at http://quantumfuturegroup.org/. The site, rather than promoting anything even remotely New Age in nature, states as its objective, "to bring together people to engage in and to promote the study of scientific ideas and research in all scientific and socio-cultural fields that further the deepest understanding of our world and our place within it without regard to nationality or ethnicity." To that end, they have engaged in the usual activities for such a group, such as supporting science in various ways.
Further searching leads to the Quantum Future School, with a website at http://www.cassiopaea.org/. That site seems to serve as something of a portal to a startlingly large body of research that involves advanced mathematical physics, world history, a critical look at UFOs, and the Cassiopaean Experiment---the aforementioned channeling.
The physics work is conducted by Laura Knight-Jadczyk's husband, internationally known theoretical - mathematical physicist Arkadiusz Jadczyk. His CV reveals that he is currently a guest professor at the Institute of Mathematics of Toulouse, University Paul Sabatier, for 30 years was a professor at the Institute of Theoretical Physics, University of Wroclaw, has been a guest scientist at CERN Geneve, extensively published in peer reviewed scientific journals and is a member of the International Scientific Advisory Board of the Clifford Algebra Conference ICCA8, the International Association of Mathematical Physics, and the International Avisory Board of 3rd Int. Conference on Applied Geometrical Algebras In Computer Science and Engineering AGACSE'2008. He is not one to be taken lightly in the scientific world, to be sure.
The "channeling" is also something other than what it seems at first blush. According to the description of the experiment found on cassiopaea.org, it is essentially an exploration of something akin to Carl Jung's idea of the Collective Unconscious, a sort of "field of images" or archetypes to which everyone is connected. In other words, this was not an attempt to use channeling as a means of getting advice from the "other world" as one might tend to think at first. Instead, it was simply an experiment into using a form of what is popularly called channeling as a means of exploring an observed psychological phenomenon.
In short, it would seem that what the Jadczyk's have going is, frankly, one of the most interesting and far-reaching research projects I've personally ever laid eyes on, and they also seem to be offering the results of this research available for free to whomever will take the time to visit their sites and do the reading.
The idea for using a form of channeling for exploring this "field of images" was inspired by the writings of Barbara Honegger. This is the same Barbara Honegger who, to quote her bio, "worked as a researcher at the Hoover Institution before joining the Ronald Reagan administration as a researcher and policy analyst in 1980. Honegger headed Reagan's gender discrimination agency review before resigning in August, 1983."
Apparently, the reason for her resignation is that "she discovered information that convinced her that George H.W. Bush and William Casey had conspired to make sure that Iran did not release the U.S. hostages until Jimmy Carter had been defeated in the 1980 presidential election." Honegger would go on to write a book on that dealt with Iran, the title of which would become the popular name for those events---October Surprise. After September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Honegger would also become an active participant in the 911 truth movement.
Interestingly, before Honegger went to work in the late 1970s for Martin Anderson at the Hoover Institute , the man she followed to the White House as an assistant to the Reagan/Bush transition team in 1980 and who remains as a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institute, Honegger was allegedly into parapsychology and was involved in an experiment that supposedly resulted in channeling voices of supercomputers from the future!
After Honegger split from the Republicans and began to expose them for the Right Wing Fascists that they really were, Newsweek, in May of 1985, ran a hit-piece on Honegger titled The Munchkin's Musical that stated "White House aides began whispering that Honegger was a believer in ESP who claimed she'd ridden on Halley's comet." It was a clear case of someone revealing too much of the truth and being marginalized and trivialized. Note that her interests, which might seem strange to some, and the use of those against her had nothing to do with the veracity of her information. They were simply used as a means of marginalizing her in order to dissuade others from hearing what she had to say.
Interestingly, her work parallels the work of Laura Knight-Jadczyk who, in autumn of 2002, wrote Comments On The Pentagon Strike on which a small flash video called The Pentagon Strike was based. This video went around the world in a "flash" and, according to the Washington Post's Carol Morello, singlehandedly revived the 9-11 Truth Movement.
So, here we have two women, both with interests in unusual phenomena who are primarily interested in exposing governmental lies and misfeasance, and very much involved in 9-11 research. One has leaked vital information from within the Beltway, the other is part of fascinating and potentially important research who was intimately involved with reviving the 9-11 Truth Movement. And both of these women have been/are being attacked.
There is really no more to say about Pepin. He appears to be the sort of hustler that was all too common during the height of the New Age movement. There is nothing I could find on the Internet about him beyond his own self promotion and the articles, still online, that were discussed on the sott.net forum.
