I think the "Col" was hoist by his own petard. Or, as the Scientologists say, he caught a "foot bullet".
The reason I bring up Scientology is that Noveau-Tech and all it's associations are CURIOUSLY SIMILAR to Scientology in their approach and business
workings. And in it's assignation of "agents" on a "mission" (we call them "trolls" and "shills") who systematically babysit message boards
like this to either bait their "enemies" or "honestly discuss" the virtues of their "tech". In Scientology, it is S.O.P. to lie if that will
gain you converts and to attack anybody that even QUESTIONS your agenda. So, I have seen them posing as alien abductees, Buddhist Bodhis, and now~ AF
Officers.
And here we have the "Col" fearlessly (and without adequate ammuniton) diving into this thread to backhandedly promote Noveau Tech with a flak
barrage of forked-tongue pseudo-Christian blather, imploring us to keep an open mind and setting himself up as an example by telling us that he has
acquired the Noveau Tech drivel himself. He pumps up a military connection and knowledge of secret societies with the clear intent to lend creedence
to Noveau Tech's fringe paranoia about Secret Societies, even BEFORE he has read the tracts. Feh. I myself throw my background into the mix when I
am discussing such things, but my motives are obviously different. My own dubious distinctions do qualify me to spot the bogies. IMO this Bird Col.
and Noveau Tech BOTH don't fly...
What makes me think he is a Scientologist?
I originally came here to learn more about this Novatech Society "BS?" and am now just trying to get to know you frequent users of ATS. My hobbies
that relate to this site are ghost hunting and UFO's; and more specifically the minipulation of time, space, matter, and the correlation of all
three.
Notice the Col. promotes the concept of "minipulation" (sic) of Time Space and Matter. All he left out of the Scientology Doctrine is the word
"Energy" which would have spelled MEST. But when they use their own cult speak, people can easily spot them. And it was hard enough for the
birdbrain, erm... I mean BIRD COL. to use proper grammer and spelling let alone watch out that his cult slip wasn't showing. Not to mention that not
only did the Bird Col. sign onto this mission, but several others also tried to control the direction of this thread by joining at once. I wonder if
they all had the same IP addy's??? They all had the same atrocious grammer and spelling.
If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, and lays an egg like a duck~ yadda yadda.
Anyhoo... I smell a Scientology "Conspiracy".
How are Noveau Tech and Scientology connected?
Re: Noveau Tech
members.tripod.com...
What these people are doing, basically, is using Objectivism as a launching pad for their own theory of self-improvement via "collapse of personal
mysticism". Where they veer way off-course into their own variant of mysticism is through their baseless assertions about
Civilization of the Universe
Extraterrestrial "Zons"
Thinkons (particles of consciousness)
Universal Computer (alien Internet)
As you and I both know, arbitrary assertions are readily dismissable in the Objectivist epistemology. Why these folks have to pervert Objectivism
into a bunch of mumbo-jumbo is beyond me, but here's their publicly stated reasoning:
The founder of the Neo-Tech company, Wallace Ward (aka Frank Wallace), started with the benevolent intention of "collapsing mysticism worldwide".
There's job security for sure. Anyway, his first publication, The Neo-Tech Reference Encyclopedia, took an Objectivist look at 100 or so books and
offered a thumbnail review of them. It also supplied a set of 144 "primary concepts" that were basically Objectivist treatments of various everyday
situations from romantic relationships to church attendance. This publication was commercially unsuccessful, so Wallace had to regroup and start
again.
While all this was happening, Wallace was also pursuing the development of life-extension technology. He was storing hard currency in a safe in the
floor for start-up of an overseas research company that would be free of FDA regulations. Apparently, he was not paying taxes on this money, and his
ex-girlfriend turned him in to the IRS. He spent a few years in federal prison. While there in 1986, he pounded out The Neo-Tech Discovery, a book
that condensed the original Neo-Tech manuscript into "114 Advantages". This book was published by his family under the newly reorganized Neo-Tech
Publishing (NTP) company and became a commercial success.
Since that time, many other books have poured from that company. The most notable one is The Neo-Tech System, which explains how to set up a
publishing company similar to NTP. The interesting thing about their approach is the use of 100% accountability. There are no "employees", only a
set of interdependent contractors, each of whom is responsible for his own bottom line.
[color=Maroon]With the arrival of the Internet, NTP has opted to publish some of their books on the Web and make money marketing other materials. One
is
Kevin Trudeau's Mega Memory system.
Trudeau and Ward met each other in prison. Ward was in jail for tax evasion, Trudeau for
credit card fraud. Trudeau has been heavily involved in
Scientology in the past, and now he's a
Neo-Tech advocate. This could have
several interpretations, so I'll just leave it at that.[/color]
You can now read The Neo-Tech Discovery in its entirety on the web at
www.neo-tech.com... This book is really the "hook" to get
people started. The actual attitudes offered in this particular work are largely in line with Objectivism. It's only later that the mumbo-jumbo is
introduced.
Why did Wallace do this? Somewhere among the literature, he points out that he needed to make Neo-Tech larger-than-life in order to persuade people
to his point of view. He claims that the concepts of "Civilization of the Universe", etc. are merely "metaphors" for the evolution of man into
the ultimate being--one who controls existence through his conscious effort and productivity. However, a candid survey of the writings tells a
different story, namely, the treatment of these concepts as already having concrete referents. This is dishonest concept-formation, which is ironic
since Neo-Tech is supposed to mean "fully integrated honesty".
Now go to the badbusinessbureau and pull up the complaints:

Notice that it is dawning on folks who posting on the above site that the purchase of a book "Natural Cures" by Kevin Trudeau was the "foot in the
door" for their name being included amongst the "chosen few" who received "personal" correspondence regarding their great untapped potential from
Noveau Tech. Which, like the come-on for Scientology, plays on vanity and greed minus the altruism. And Kevin Trudeau? What kind of parasite is
worse than one which capitalizes on the frailty and illness of others?
Oh... could it be....
SCIENTOLOGY?????
www.raullopez.org...
Raul Lopez was a young man who got in a devestating accident, which caused impaired cognitive function. In other words, he was a sitting duck for a
scam. And Scientologists promised to restore his mental functions, if only he paid the big bucks for their "tech".
What's it all about? Improving the human race?
Nope.
It's about MONEY.
Trudeau sells a concept of health to sick people, and he always holds out the carrot that they need to spend more money to get the real secret. After
you go through several levels of this, you either catch on or die.
Scientology promises mastery over MEST, and that in the end that you shall be a god unto yourself. Satanism does that for FREE. However, in
Scientology, you need to keep spending money on their Tech in order to make progress. You never find out that it is completely useless until you
acheive the highest levels and STILL cannot make that ashtray levitate or your girlfriend swallow.
Primerica, Quixtar, the Hunger Project, Werner Earhardt...
It's about MONEY.
Making YOUR money transsubstantiate itself into THEIR Bank Accounts.
Oh well...
Anyhow, I think it is too bad the "Col" is MIA. You know what they say:
"When you are out of Scientologists, you are out of quality targets"
