Where did all the Open Minds Forum members go?

Fri Oct 19, 2012 12:29 pm by Admin

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.

    Duh Wink

    So maybe we are 18 months away from some normality, maybe our apparent former thinking is over.

    Covid did what no UFO could.

    Covid did what no war could.

    It’s bringing the world together.

    We are gonna have to make hard choices and likely our lives will never be like they were.

    I imagine credit and stocks will end.

    I imagine money is no longer going to mean anything.

    The giant has already been dealt a death blow.

    Now he FALLS.

    Existential Armageddon is much more fun than the Rapture!

    Cause that’s all bullshitz.

    Finally we get to see our fragile lie burn up in ashes.

    The money guys like Ackerman are going insane

    Having to see their empty value evaporate.

    The financial collapse is likely to be much worse than the virus.

    But but but...

    I’m with hobbit.

    I’m goin fishin in the BPW.




    When the boat comes in.

    Given the chance to rise

    They remain mired in their fear and beer

    If your words don’t bleed from your heart

    They aren’t worth a fart

    You are the stillness in the storm

    The nothing I do something for that is worth doing

    How you clothe yourself doesn’t matter

    I see you in every face

    I feel your breath fill me

    If you join the mind to the breath

    Peace inhabits every moment

    If you join the mind to the heart

    Life is as smooth as exhalation

    Breathe

    Feel it all

    Stay calm

    Stand with it

    Let this deepen you

    You can do it

    Have courage

    I can’t tell you it means anything

    Isn’t that obvious to you

    Closed heart

    Closed mind

    You never speak for yourself pretender

    You hide

    You lie

    You don’t bleed

    You aren’t naked

    Speak for yourself

    Show yourself for what you are

    Don’t you hear the trumpets

    No, you don’t know anything

    That’s obvious

    You don’t even know your own face

    Of course he quotes fools

    He hasn’t a word to say  

    He’s just a joker

    You couldn’t sound a trumpet for anyone else

    Chick 🐥 is just about ready to declare victory over foot 🦶, donny and smelly goat 🐐.  

    Don’t take this personally, except, in as much as chick 🐥 may personify the truth, historically.  

    This is my takeoff........ https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/03/19/coronavirus-effect-economy-life-society-analysis-covid-135579

    In my chick 🐥 estimation, the virus 🦠 is a Godsend, and all three, foot 🦶, donny and smelly goat 🐐 have been done in by this unanticipated Godsend.  

    Certainly the chick 🐥 did not anticipate it.  But chick 🐥 does not need foresight.  Chick 🐥 only needs 20/20 hindsight.  

    Yes, I believe that this tiny confabulation of a molecule serves far better than any rogue planet (Nibaru/Melancholia) could have served as our global Endtime portal.  

    You see, the Truth needs very little to get its point across....... it only needs a foot 🦶, a Princess 👸 and a Godsend in the door.  That’s all, sports 🏀 fans💗.  

    And don’t we love the insider trading scandal, especially among Republicans.  donny, being a captain of the hospitality industry, was being much more treacherous in his playing down of the virus 🦠.  


    11/ft/gmt-3...........

    But we have much bigger fish 🐠 to fry..........

    The biggest fish to fry is the Bible.  How so.......?  

    The Bible is too close to the Truth, for comfort.  

    The chick 🐥 is here precisely to replace the Bible.  

    The chick 🐥 is here to point to the Truth that is within...... every last one ☝ of us.

    Jesus, the Bible and chick 🐥 are the three main historical Vectors to that inner/cosmic Truth........ which is simply Personalism.  

    Yes, sports 🏀 fans 💗, even our dear sociopaths have access to the cosmic Truth.  

    Jesus and the Bible have been predicting an apocalyptic Truth for the last two thousand years....... and here it is........ virus 🦠 + chick 🐥.  

    The main target 🎯 are the Christians.  

    There are still many/enough educated Christians to pull this MoAPS (mother of all paradigm shifts) off.  

    But even before we hit the Christians, we can hit the Banksters along the lines of the above article...... https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/03/19/coronavirus-effect-economy-life-society-analysis-covid-135579

    Hidden inside this global economic setback is an opportunity for maybe just a handful of mainstream economists to rethink their position on whether there might be a limit to growth.  

    And, may God perish the thought, a limit to Capitalism.  


    12:15........

    A limit to Capitalism simply spells the End of Capitalism.  

    At the End of Capitalism, folks may think back to the Origin of Capitalism.  

    Let’s ask ourselves...... what was the Source of Capitalism?  

    Capitalism originated in Personalism.  

    Personalism may not have originated with Jesus, but he sure as heck gave it a swift kick in the pants 👖.  

    The rest is Western history.  

    Chick 🐥 hereby reclaims Capitalism in the name of Personalism.  

    Personalism + the End of Capitalism = the small world 🌎.  

    Jesus and chick 🐥 own the small world 🌎....... personally.  

    Now we want our world 🌎 back...... that’s all, sports 🏀 fans💗.

    The only competition that Jesus has among the intelligentsia is Buddha, but the virus 🦠 has just knocked Buddha off of his intellectual perch.  

    It all over, but the shouting.  

    Correction........ the chick 🐥 is not here to replace the Bible.  

    The chick 🐥 is here to cut the Bible down to its personal size.  It was written by persons, for persons and about persons........ much like the US constitution, which will also be enshrined as an earth 🌍 shaking, historical document.  

    Does this mean that the chick 🐥 does not believe in God?  

    No, sports 🏀 fans💗, it means that chick 🐥 believes in...... wait for it..... the best possible God.

    smelly,

    You have had a herd here at OM.  

    Chick 🐥 thinks we are about to witness a culling of your herd.

    This will be no small feat, historically speaking.

    “Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will send you out to fish for people.”


    Here is what Sam has referenced for our Baltimore Green Forum virtual meeting for Sunday....... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt5dsD1z1R4 ...... a video of Nate Hagens, whom Sam has been touting for several years.  

    Details about the virtual meeting are posted here...... http://www.baltimoregreenforum.org/


    1:40..........

    Correction........  Just now, I read the above Politico article...... very disappointing.  It’s mainly about our going digital.  What a total lack of imagination and thinking outside the box.  


    And speaking of a lack of imagination, we need look no further than right here.  

    The non-personalists will have to think outside the Buddha box 📦.  

    Nate is telling us that we no longer have a problem with peak oil.  What then is the problem....? chick 🐥 asks Sam.  


    2:30........

    Finally, the President steps up. I just finished watching the White. House new conference.

    Better late than never.

    Locked at home, in fear of the World; the Chicken stares at the blog, in hope that space may be Curled. Lost in a space that is ever so Small, the Chicken declares victory with his blog in a dead stall.

    Foot foot foot

    You have to do better than that.

    Not your best post.

    You just can’t verbally compete with the chicken and the goat.

    I know the chicken doesn’t like to share, but we make a good team.

    He’s the confused brain and I’m the burning heart.

    Together we are almost a human being.

    You can’t live without a heart or brain.

    True, the head and the heart need at least one foot.

    We could get prosthetics.

    And Dan I’m always right.

    I live here in the still point, no hindsight or foresight needed.

    The still point seems impenetrable to you.

    You just can’t break through to this side.

    I see you over there behind the glass, but how do you make it here Wink

    I showed you how.

    Do the work.

    I was fishing for you and I caught you.

    I know how to flow and surf.

    That’s all that is needed.

    Kowabunga dudes.

    I’m hanging ten over the board.

    Chick 🐥 will admit that goat 🐐 boy 👦 is very good at sheltering in place.  

    But, going forward, that is not going to be good enough, goat 🐐 boy 👦.


    The President is finally trying to catch up to the Truth.  

    Of course, that is never gonna happen.  

    The President will only ever be the anteChrist.  Let’s give the President the benefit of the doubt...... he might already know this........ but, hey sports 🏀 fans💗, this little bit of information may be way, way..... above top secret.  


    Is goat 🐐 boy 👦 hanging ten.........?  

    Ok, goat 🐐 boy 👦, let’s see you hang in there.......

    Personally, chick 🐥 thinks 💭 that goat 🐐 boy 👦 just caught a crab 🦀 and is pearl 🍐  diving.  

    But that’s only my personal opinion.

    I see we’ve entered a new messianic age.🙄

    So many say the word. Time to be the word.

    Time to broadcast on the L band frequency from the core of being.
