At the end of the 28th, if you still don’t understand, I will spell out everything for you here."

Baring in mind he is talking in a percpetive of a time perception in California.
Have you sent him any money yet? Maybe that will help him spell out his "it's your fault for not seeing the change" message. But really. What you should understand is that this guy is full of shit.

Go onto the record page and he has posted this message:

Yes, there is. As much as I have put here explaining that this isn’t a event prediction website, there are quite a few who have jumped at the opportunity to declare that the world hasn’t ended the second it turned October 28th in their timezone. The point for them was a long way away, and for that, I will help.

I do ask that those who have also experienced and understood the purpose here to share with others on this record. It will help a lot of others who are unsure what they need to see.

I will point out again there something has happened, and as I’ve said numerous times, it can’t be viewed materialistically.

Hallelujah, the 28th is here!! So when's all this crap supposed to start happening? Will I have time to go to the bathroom? (this one's a #2 so I may be in there a while)

More importantly, what lame excuse are you going to use when this all turns out to be nothing?

"What the hell is an Aluminum Falcon?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. I thought my Dark Lord of the Sith could protect a small thermal exhaust port that's only 2-meters wide! That thing wasn't even fully paid off yet! You have any idea what this is going to do to my credit?!?!"

"What? Oh, oh, 'just rebuild it'? Oh, real [bleep]ing original. And who's gonna give me a loan, jackhole? You? You got an ATM on that torso LiteBrite?"

It is now 11 PM JST. No word of anything happening in Japan. One more hour and I will be reminding you of how completely wrong you were on every thread you open up and every thread that you express fear based on the words of flim flam artists and charlatians.

He's already got his out-- in the post above yours, he quotes the guy who started all this hype as saying "I will point out again there something has happened, and as I’ve said numerous times, it can’t be viewed materialistically."

Leaving aside the broken English (I'm not sure if he meant "where something has happened" or something else), the line "it can't be viewed materialistically" is just a fancy way of saying "I'm just making this up"-- nothing's going to happen. It's just some guy doing 'shrooms and getting off on all the attention he's getting from these hapless new-age conspiracy goons like flanagan.

OK, it is now Midnight 10/29/2011 JST.

Nothing has happened.

The cop out that it can't be viewed materialistically isn't flying with me. You reported he said something big at the coordinates (Tokyo harbor) would happen. It didn't.

I am calling this guy one seriously batshit insane guy prattling pointlessly over things that didn't happen no matter how much he claims they did.

This places into context your histrionics.

If you claim that something makes you scared that is only justified by the prattlings of bullshit artists, I will be reminding you of the FAILURE of 10/28. Make no mistake, this is a 100% FAILURE of this prediction.

Open has himself said that he has never made any claims about the end of the world or desturction (check out the source code on the web page) its been others like boomer thast have been making these claims of destruction and stuff. Also you have to remember is that I think the website is based on PDT in California, where its still morning over there.

Also, I'm not making any claims or assumptions. I'm just shareing what other people have typed and wanted to discuss it with all of you.

I think Open just wanted us to hange our view of the world (read the manuals) and I think he said that it has.

Except that in general, you don't really discuss anything. You just post links and move on.

Then you are deliberately wasting our time.

This is not a "I'm bored and want to chat" site. This is a skeptic website where we present arguments and defend them with evidence.

What some stupid fraud named "Open" has to say does not matter to me one whit.

He will spill it out in a little while when the day is late in California: This is what it says on the site:


When it speeds and it's tough to make out, I'll be here to help

A symbol, not an event. For those who have reached an understanding, that date will never fade, it will remain. That is more powerful than material to open your eyes.

Some people have commented that they definatly feel different.

Wow... I'm underwhelmed...

I definitely felt "different" after I "dropped the kids off at the pool". Mostly, I felt lighter.

"What the hell is an Aluminum Falcon?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. I thought my Dark Lord of the Sith could protect a small thermal exhaust port that's only 2-meters wide! That thing wasn't even fully paid off yet! You have any idea what this is going to do to my credit?!?!"

I've reached an understanding. An understanding that I'm being told to expect a change and that it is my fault if I do not recognize that change. Unmistakably I definitely feel different today. I feel annoyed.

Interestingly enough, that's just how faith healing works. If you didn't get healed, it supposedly means you didn't have enough faith. If there really is something powerful going on, it shouldn't require faith in it for it to assert itself. So all we have here is another faith based idea and the usual explanation for why some (most) people didn't get whatever it was that they are supposed to get. The New Age is just another religion in that way.

And of course, it's no surprise that some people do feel "different." It's a placebo effect. I remember when the est people were supposed to "get it." Very few who went through the "training" didn't want to feel like they were on the outside. So very few would admit that they didn't even understand what "It" was. Well... "It" was nothing. But getting "It" kept you in the club. The capacity for humans to be self-deluded is almost boundless.

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Why not question something for a change?

The fuck he will.

He will continue this "you don't understand" bullshit and not actually answer any questions.

That's how these frauds work.

More esoteric existenialist bullshit on top of it.

I am really disappointed he wasn't at least more entertaining that the common fraud newage huckster. Just the same tired "mystic powers" line and a repackaging of the "Age of Aquarius" bullshit.
