The Truth mob is a sad and
annoying side effect of the Truth movement; in the background links at the
bottom I provide a detailed history of my interaction with them. Truth mobs
break out spontaneously at random locations on Facebook or in blog and YouTube
comments boxes. They draw in attention like a magnet, gathering enthusiastic personnel
with the ease of a rolling snowball. People who are completely uninvolved third
parties transform instantaneously into raving single-minded zealots,
fanatically dedicated to their chosen side; and of course outraged against the
other side with equal fervour. Before long, honourable men and women who were
busy campaigning to free the world from the dangers of GMO food, geoengineering,
false flag terrorism and government organized child abuse, will drop everything
they are doing in order to take up arms in their Truth mob's cause. They will
sit in front of a keyboard and monitor for hours, typing acres upon acres of
text, post abusive tableaux on the timelines of their enemy and send underhand
messages in an attempt to destroy their target's reputation. Along with the
focus of their ire, Truth mobbers will also lunge at anybody who refuses to
join them in their frenzy; and this is about to happen to me... yet again. Ben
Fellows is somebody who first came to the attention of the Truth movement in
2012 when he spoke out over the deliberate self-sabotage of the security system
at the London Olympics, see:
http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/g4s-olympic-security-fiasco.html.
He was working for G4S at the time. He is also a part-time actor and has stated
publicly that when he was involved in a drama project about twenty years ago,
he was sexually assaulted by Kenneth Clarke, the Chancellor of the Exchequer at
the time, and regular Bilderberg Group member. Clarke denies the allegations
and had Ben prosecuted for attempting to pervert the course of justice. Ben was
cleared of all charges, see:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-33724010,
but Clarke has been subjected to no further investigation (No surprise there,
see:
http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/new-judge-for-child-abuse-inquiry.html).
Ben organized a conference where I was due to speak, but unfortunately he had
to cancel it, see:
http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2015/11/benx-conference-cancelled.html.
Then Ben Fellows came up with
another idea. He and his partner Jackie Clarke would travel to India to seek an audience with the Dalai Lama. He set up a
GoFundMe.com page to raise money for the expedition saying: "My name is Ben Fellows and I am an
investigative journalist and filmmaker based in Birmingham in the United
Kingdom. I am raising funds for myself and my partner
Jackie, who is supporting me with her own funds as well, to travel to see the
Dalai Lama in India. This is a
spiritual journey as I have been persecuted by my own government for speaking
out against paedophiles and child abusers. So I am now seeking advice about
what we can do to deal with this problem from His Holiness, as I believe he is
a very wise and educated man who was chosen for a reason to lead his
people.", see:

However not everybody seems to think that this is a good idea. I received a
message from two separate people on Facebook... that online battlefield again,
warning me that Ben Fellows is trying to exploit vulnerable people by
defrauding them of money on false pretences. "Don't you think this is
awful, Ben?" they asked me. I replied "Of course!" and demanded
details from them. The two ladies informed me that the fraudulent nature of
what Ben Fellows is doing comes from the fact that he's asking for money to
fund a trip to India... Yes, I quickly spotted that logical flaw as well. I
replied: "What's the problem? Ben's asking for money to go to
India and he and Jackie
are on their way to
India." The reply I got from the two ladies was a long
tirade about a subject completely unrelated to the point we were previously
discussing. It didn't take long for a very familiar picture to emerge. Just
like with David Icke and Sonia Poulton, or the Kent Freedom Movement and
Danielle la Verité (see background links below), these two ladies had been
having a personal dispute with Ben Fellows and had therefore aggrandized it
into a fantasy scenario in which Ben Fellows is a bad person generally on a
professional level. Many a Truth mob is generated thus. The two ladies
criticized Ben and Jackie because in the last few days Ben and Jackie have been
posting photographs of themselves from
Austria,
Hungary,
Turkey and a few other places. What's wrong with them stopping to
see the sights on their journey? These are countries they've probably never
been to before and may well never get another chance to visit again. You can
hardly expect them to travel through these exotic lands on a high speed train
with blindfolds on, can you? I think Ben Fellows' idea to try to get help from
the Dalai Lama is an excellent one. The Fourteenth Dalai Lama has himself had
to seek refuge from political persecution too, and is reputed to be very
intelligent and wise. I read one of his books on Buddhism and it was really
interesting. I wish Ben and Jackie all the very best for their expedition to
India. I hope they get some good advice and maybe encourage the
Dalai Lama to get involved with the quest to stop the institutional abuse of
children that is poisoning the world.
There are warning signs along the
road to a Truth mob and I advise you to heed them. You probably already recognize
them and just need to understand what they mean in full. Comments boxes beneath
a Facebook post becoming heated, posters becoming verbally aggressive. You know
that before long this thread will cross over that line in which a chain
reaction of meaningless insult begins. After that happens, the comments eventually
become a self-sustaining downward spiral of ego-battling abuse; and by then all
rational discourse becomes impossible. A pleasant and interesting exchange of
ideas and information degenerates into the online equivalent of a bar room
brawl. The only solution is to get out of the conversation before it falls over
that event horizon. I would also ask HPANWO readers to be aware of their own
thoughts and feelings whenever conflicts like this arise. Introspection is a
very important skill to learn. Watch your own mental landscape and analyse it as
if you were somebody else looking at you. How do you know that you yourself are
not being drawn into a mentality that could lead you to become a foot soldier
for a Truth mob? Seven vital questions to ask are:
1. How crucial is the resolution of this conflict to the
world at large?
2. At a fundamental level, is this conflict one of
personalities rather than wider issues affecting the wellbeing of the world
beyond?
3. Is your involvement in this conflict taking you away
from your usual research and activism, your work on issues such as UFO's, TV
Licensing, chemtrails, the Bedroom Tax etc?
4. Do you find yourself feeling confusion and hostility
towards people you otherwise would feel no resentment towards, when they
decline to stand by you in your activities with this conflict, even when they do not support the other side
either?
5. Does the leader of your chosen side in the conflict
explain calmly and rationally and in a dignified manner their case against
their opponent, or do they just get angry and use lots of derogatory adjectives
or rhetoric about them?
6. If you express doubts or ask questions of your leader
about your side's cause, have you ever been threatened or felt put under
pressure by them, or others on your side, as a result?
7. Has your leader or anybody else on your side chided you,
in any way, even just through veiled threats, forced misunderstanding and
misjudgement or passive aggression; for friendships you might have with people
on the other side, personal relationships, or involvement with websites and
organizations those on the other side are also involved with?
I have informed the two ladies
concerned that I am rejecting their call to arms. If they feel so wounded by
Ben and Jackie then they should talk to a solicitor; otherwise shut up and
leave me out of it. I would also request that if anybody else out there feels
the need to stir up a Truth mob and wishes to approach me as a potential recruit;
please don't waste your time. Go and play your little schoolyard games with
somebody else.
