With Open Minds Forum restored now for almost half a year at it's new location with forumotion.com we can now turn to look at reaching out to OMF's original members who have not yet returned home. OMF's original membership was over 6,000 members strong, prior to the proboards suspension, according to the rolls of the time. We can probably safely assume that some of those accounts were unidentified socks. If we were to assume a reasonable guess of maybe as many as 30% possible sock accounts then that would leave potentially somewhere between 4800 to 4900 possible real members to locate. That is still a substantial number of people.
Who were all these people? Some were average individuals with common interests in ufology, exopolitics, globalism, corruption, earthchanges, science and technology, and a variety of other interests. Some just enjoyed being part of a vibrant and unusually interesting community. Others were representative of various insider groups participating in observation and outreach projects, while still others were bonafide intelligence community personnel. All with stake in the hunt for truth in one fashion or another. Some in support of truth, and communication. Others seeking real disclosure and forms of proof. And others highly skeptical of anything or limited subjects. The smallest division of membership being wholly anti-disclosure oriented.
So where did these members vanish to? They had many options. There are almost innumerable other forums out there on the topics of UFO's or Exopolitics, the Unexplained, and Conspiracy Theory. Did they disappear into the world-wide network of forum inhabitants? Did some go find new homes on chatrooms or individual blogs? Did they participate in ufo conventions or other public events and gatherings? How about those who represented groups in special access? Or IC and military observers? Those with academic affiliations? Where did they all go and what would be the best way to reach out and extend an invitation to return?
And what constitutes a situation deserving of their time and participation? Is the archive enough? How exactly do people within the paradigm most desire to define a community? Is it amenities, humanity or simply population size for exposure? Most of the special guests have been emailed and have expressed that population size for exposure is what most motivates them. But not all. Long-time member Dan Smith has other priorities and values motivating his participation. Should this open opportunities for unattached junior guests who have experience and dialog to contribute to the world? How best to make use of OMF's time, experience and resources?
Many skeptics would like to see the historical guardian of discourse opportunity to just up and disappear; go into permanent stasis. They think that not everyone has a right to speak about their experiences and if there is no proof involved then there can philosophically be no value to discourse. I personally would respectfully disagree with them. Discourse has always been the prelude to meaningful relationships and meaningful mutual relationships have always been the prelude to exchanges of proof. In a contentious social environment with regards to communication vs disclosure how do we best re-establish a haven for those preludes? Is it only the "if we build it they will come" answer? Well considering OMF has been largely fully functional over the last four or five months this line of reasoning is not necessarily true. So what would be the best way re-establish this? Your suggestions are sought. Please comment.
Vereide was the executive director of this organization until his death in 1969. He was part of a peace conference in San Francisco after World War II. In 1953, Vereide and the fellowship started the Presidential Prayer Breakfast, later called the National Prayer Breakfast or the International Prayer Breakfast.

I've watched the whole thing and I'm going to watch it again in a few minutes. Won't say anything more about it at this time except that some of my suspicions have been confirmed and I'm sure all of us can say the same thing too at least to some extent. Some moreso than others.
Ok, I think I have a minimal understanding of C street and the Collins elite.
They maintain their mystery and power by obfuscation. We do the opposite.
We tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
I did like the formula of 1 + 0 = infinity [8]
As every schoolchild knows 1 / 0 = [8]
If we personify this jesus / buddha = SoT.
Since, with the truth of immaterialism, everything is an ‘illusion’..... we have simply 0 = 0
Over the ages, this has been what all the secrecy has been about...... everything has just been elaboration and embroidery of one fundamental idea..... 1 / 0 = 8’ .
This is the core story...... all of history is a cosmic scab to cover the cosmic wound........
In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence
Yes, Creation is all about splitting the Night...... 1 / 0 .
And you can blame it all on smelly....... why not?
Think of the Night/history as the Gordian knot...... smelly/Alexander takes out his sword and splits the knot/night.
This was smelly’s original sin, and us......? We’re all part of the the best possible scab....... which has had aeons to coagulate.
The Force/Love is with us, and it’s all very personal and the best possible microcosm.
Yes, and the cosmos is a circle whose circumference is nowhere, and whose center is everywhere. It’s the job of chicken little, with the help of smelly, to pulverize the best possible glass ceiling.
Let’s just pin the tail/tale on the best possible goat, and get on with the show........ please...... pretty please......
This is what the good doctor orders...... it will only hurt a little bit.
12:30.........
So, we have 3 visitors and 3 oracles........ one way to play the game is for me to be oracle #3 and visitor #1. This is just one possibility, of course, but it may just be a case of bird in hand......
smelly, of course, is oracle #0 and visitor #0...... that is some distinction, let me tell you! I came up with this bit of genius without any fortification from the arbor. I’m sure that smelly will instantly approve..... won’t you, smelly?
Understand, please, that, ontologically/biologically speaking, the cosmic pearl of great price is virtually identical with the glass ceiling/‘scab’. Clearly, we are the best possible scab, and we can thank our lucky stars for that.
Think of chicken little as an incarnate mnemonic device for how to know and remember Everything...... from soup to nuts.
I’m just here prove that smelly is correct....... all he needs to do is watch his garden grow. He can be ground zero for the cosmic scab/pearl. There rest of us are just (coin...ci..) dancing around.
And, do keep in mind, that some wounds take a long time to heal. I’m so much on this kick, because, when I was imbibing, a few days ago, I did manage to remove the best possible amount of thin skin, and the rest is all diy patching up...... a personal metaphor pump..... and me trying desperately to turn a lemon into lemonade. Necessity is the mother of invention, and all that.
smelly/buddha is the perfect cosmic hole/wound, and the rest of us are dancing around, waving our hands, to preserve the vacuum/echo chamber/resonance cavity...... etc.....
That’s how the cosmic mousetrap is already working.
When folks come looking for the magician behind the screen,they’re only going to find a chicken and a goat...... isn’t that right, Ack? Oh, well, ok...... maybe a Princess, too.

Well, smelly, we’re looking under the cosmic scab and seeing that the wound is almost healed.
But we can’t just rip off the scab. We work it off gently, with the WoM/MoAPS...... leaving behind the cosmic singularity, behind the event horizon.
What, on the surface, appears to be a cancer or shell is hiding the chrysalis. The butterfly is on the verge of hatching. The opening of the portals is the crack in the cosmic egg.
smelly...... please remember your Barfield......
Here, at the end of ‘beta’ consciousness, we are teetering on the cusp between Original and Final Participation. The various national identity movements reflect the obvious desire to turn the clock back to our original tribal state. The seemingly unknown future is the source of our global floating anxiety.
We need to use both our left and right brains to embrace these anxieties.
With the internet maturing, slowly, we are seeing many details more clearly, but we are lacking in a global, historical perspective to help integrate our understandings.
Otherwise, the internet is simply reopening old wounds, and creating new ones.
Because, on this battle ground of the future, the old formals aren’t working, this does not not mean that we should throw out all attempts at understanding.
When you and Dan punch through that glass ceiling I will be thinking of Charlie, Grandpa and Willie Wonka flying high in the Great Glass Wonkavator.
My abiding memory of that film is when Wonka tells Charlie "Don't forget what happened to the man who got everything he ever wanted" ….. "He lived happily ever after"
I figure, you can't bake the best possible cake without putting in 'all' the ingredients.
I'm glad there is a good chef working on the recipe.
It is structured like the Mafia and it initiates members under sworn oath by using prayer to Jesus as their covenant to fealty. This ritual is a psychological tactic as most prospective members are from the Judeo-Christian tradition.
If a member breaks their oath, they risk being banished into obscurity in ways that tv docu-series didn’t even dare to broach.
The Family are the foot soldiers who operate under a much more obscure entity whose members show up at Bilderberg Meetings.
They promote a one world gov’t
Their Mein Kampf is a slim Jeffersonian- like “bible” called “Jesus”.
They admit that they are not “Christians” though.... at least in the normal sense of the word.
They interpret and slant what’s in the Bible to fit their own collective abominations.
They even seek affiliations with the most monstrous dictators out there as their real “God” is the one of power, control and greed.
In reality, nothing is sacred to them except the acquisition of power and money.
The author of the book that “The Family” docu-series is based on, somewhere in the middle of it changed it from an expose on this entity into a documentary within a doc that ultimately glorified it giving clue that he was “pressured”, under threat, to do so. He is, afterall, a former trainee of that “org”.
Any astute viewer of that docu-series will pick that up.
Trump is a Wolf King and they boast about that.
Trump is their posterboy and they will do everything humanly possible to make sure that he's re-elected in 2020.
The Family orchestrated, behind the scenes, of course, the Russian intervention in Trumps last campaign and they will do it again next time round.
On the surface, they are misogynists which also implies that they are much more than that in the bigotry dept.: as that's how it always is with no exceptions. This fact is very well documented in the fields of sociology, psychology and anthropology.
Once again, their ultimate goal is a One World Gov't and everything they exist for is toward that end.
They are the foot soldiers for the PTB.

My fav scene of any movie, was the moment Charlie put the gobstopper back.
I knew why when I read it.
I knew what it meant instantly.
Way to catch the beat.
I have been enjoying the glass elevator.
You have good instincts.
When Charlie put the Gobstopper back on Wonka’s desk, that was the moment of course.
Where what he truly was in his essence came through.
He was pure of heart.
To be pure of heart, whoa, what a treasure.
I used to want God to see me pure of heart, but I did everything to dirty my self.
We are loved anyway.
That love is humbling in a way I can’t put into words.
We are often angry at this stuff Love.
How could we be angry with it?!
Because of its implications perhaps.
We just don’t want to let it in or let it go to the unworthy.
Who is worthy of our love?
We have families who won’t speak to one another.
Perhaps, isolated as I am now, this is how partly to make a human being.
Life follows patterns and we pick up on them.
There is a code behind life, a flow.
Chance isn’t random really, it just appears so.
Coincidances and the truth they belie, are profound.
It is a wonder to see it all appearing to move.
There is a very narrow line between comedy and horror, Roald says, he was a friend of kings and queens who seem just like children to me.
He spoke to the child within us.
The great storytellers aren’t speaking to us adults, they whisper to the children.
I might try to use that formula to make money, but my fortune would rot, but if we tell our stories from joy, we can connect hearts and mend the breach.
Some have seen the great horrors and felt the best thing was to talk to the children.
Bless them.
I have heard them.
How many hearts must be knit together to seal the breach?
I guess all that have ever and will ever exist.
That’s a lot of blood.
CS, you have provided me a compass reading.
I know why you pointed me just now.
But when I look down at my compass, to read the heading, the needle is always spinning.
I should throw this damn compass away.
I need to trust my heart and be kind to it.
Kindness is the needle that weaves hearts into eternity...I see.
Charlie won because he was most kind and Wonka would only reveal his secrets to a kind child.
Some on earth would say to feel such a way was weak and pathetic.
They would see me as prey...the food.
The Family says forget the Jesus you know, he’s a born killer.
Is it easier to kill or to be kind?
I think Jesus gave us his answer.
The Family is weak because they have forgotten their hearts for the cause.
