Intelligent Readers "BoyCott" Hal Blacker's WE Blog

Ex- and current Cohen students have been staying away from "WHAT enlightenment??! " blog in their droves over the last few weeks as two non-students Freebird and Craig T. battle it out for blog comment supremacy.

Meanwhile, WE blog's heavy-handed Stalinist revisionism has been revealed for what it is by a poster to our exposé blog. The poster found a copied-and-pasted WE blog page dated April 18 which was posted on April 26 to a yahoo group by Sam Vaknin before it was censored!

You can compare the censored and uncensored pages by following these two links:

http://whatenlightenment.blogspot.com/2005/04/through-mirror-darklycontinuing-to-try.html#comments

You will immediately notice that the WE blog editors have been indiscriminate in the censorship and have permanently erased important on-topic Cohen-related issues.

Hence it follows that WHAT Enlightenment Uncensored $$$ is the only safe, secure place for your IEF and Andrew Cohen related posts.

Whilst non-students of Cohen battle it out at WE blog (passing disparaging remarks at WEU for not rising to their time-wasting off-topic taunts), the WE blog editors have hit back with a vindictive, dictatorial wave of reader's comment cullings and a statement of supremacy.

Today, the typically silent Helene (or is that Hal Blacker?) was aroused enough to post a curt "Note From The Administrator" in which she (or he) took the time and space to lambast our WEU blog. In effect, Hal/Helene was telling their readers not to read out blog. The micro-managers hands always revealed!

Writing in the plural form, Hal/Helene stated "we feel that further discussion of the WEU "counter-blog" is unwarranted and unnecessary here ... We feel it should not be taken seriously." He/she further warned of more censorship (as if it was not already a common activity) "we also will be periodically removing comments that do not further the discussion here."

Hal/Helene then promised the non-existent audience, "we hope to have a more substantive headline posting in the near future, and appreciate your patience."

Note that WE blog does not actually have a "substantive headline". The last two ultra-vile WE blog posts have been roundly criticized by all concerned for their violent language, namely "Missing THE POINT " and "Of Cohen, Koresh And Authoritarianism."

It looks like WE blog is failing in its agenda to spread rumour and terror among Cohen's spiritual community. Anyone inside the community know that Hal Blacker repeated assertion that there is a "Code of Silence" is a malicious load of old crock!

Many readers have been hurt by the insensitive politics of WE blog's hidden micro-mangers. We hope that our blog WHAT Enlightenment Uncensored $$$ can provide them with a space for honest refelction and healing.

Insanity Rules WE Blog Editor's Hidden Agenda Exposed by Recent Posts

WE Blog Should Apologise for Hate-Mongering Posts

The carefully hidden insanity which drives the secret chiefs behind the anti-Cohen blog "WHAT enlightenment??!" has been bursting out in the last few days.

In series of prominent front-page posts, which can only be labelled as "kamikaze" the editors have given their tacit approval to a plan to turn Foxhollow into a Waco-style killing field!

Whereas before WE blog's ultra-aggressive posting style was carefully crafted to avoid libel the latest posts have thrown caution to the wind and made some wild accusations. In war it seems that truth is always the first casualty!

Trying to create linkage between Andrew Cohen and to vilified cult-leaders David Koresh and Jim Jones the posts goes as far as to suggest that Cohen is poisoning people. This type of inflammatory post reveals WE blog's real agenda which is nothing less then to provoke an all-out attack on Cohen aimed to decimate his religious group. The libellous post on the front-page of WE blog stated ?Why don't we just condemn Cohen, as a David Koresh and Jim Jones type, poisoning and misguiding people, report him to the authorities..."

I want to make it clear that we at WEU blog abhor WE blogs hate-mongering posts and ask them to print an apology and retraction.

However, we seriously doubt that they will. We at WEU have long warned about the nameless faceless micro-managers at WE blog. We could be congratulated for exposing their motives.

The stink at WE blog has been clearly rising through the floor-boards for sometime. Before the latest call-to- arms post (something which we predicted), the WE editors mysteriously posted a delirious off-topic rant that outraged even their staunchest supporters. The post which trivially started with "I think, therefore I am not" ended abruptly and obscenely with "OK, mind-fuckers, bring on the hair-splitting philosophizing."

Suspicious has been the fact that the post's title was changed after a WEU blog supporter asked where the post had come from, since had not appeared in WE blog's recent comment section. It is therefore suspected that the post came directly from the desk of WE blog editors.

It might seem a small thing but changing the posts title also changed the post's URL.

Thus the post previously was:
"Missing THE POINT by Anonymous"
http://whatenlightenment.blogspot.com/2005/04/missing-point-by-anonymous.html

became the new, slightly modified:
"Missing THE POINT"
http://whatenlightenment.blogspot.com/2005/04/missing-point.html

Why did the WE Blog make such a small change?

Two reasons:

1. Realizing that WEU would catch wind of their unaccountable post they sought create distance by assigning the now typical signature "By Anonymous". However, the post does not come from their comments page nor does it say that it was received by email. Of course, WE may choose to claim that they omitted this piece of information, though it should be noted that they have been scrupulous about including it all previous occasions.
2. By changing the title they changed the URL - a definite no-no in the blog-sphere unless you want to confuse researchers and lose readers. In this case, the WE blog would have been happy to throw everyone off the scent.

Several WE and WEU blog supporters have raised similar issues only to be met by a wall of silence from WE blog, who clearly are scared to duplicitous account for their actions. More cynical is that they feel unaccountable to their loyal but naive readership who they have taken for a ride in service of their commercial anti-cult agenda (hence the "$$$" that we pin at the end our expose blog title "WHAT Enlightenment Uncensored $$$").

Unsurprisingly, WE blog's response includes not only silence but the indiscriminate mass culling of dozens of comments - something which it seems to do routinely, even to those from loyal WE blog supporters, just to remove one irritating comment.

WE's Masterminds Cynically Play Roberta - WEU Reply

Roberta,

Your recent reading of "WHAT Enlightenment Uncensored" blog is likely to have been confusing because of an on-going spam attack by opponents of our blog. Whether these spammers be pro-Andrew, anti-Cohen or just pranksters - who knows?

We set up "WHAT Enlightenment Uncensored" blog because we felt that "WHAT Enlightenment" blog was strongly blocking valuable and valid areas of debate about Andrew and the anti-Cohen camp. It was felt that WE blog would stifle real communication. I have already posted about how I feel Hal Blacker, the only clearly named editor of WE blog, was disingenuous in his invite to AC to come and talk on WE blog given WE's sometimes vicious posts against AC.

I also feel that WE's agenda is being shaped by nameless, faceless individuals who are interested in cashing in by spreading misery and disaffectation among ex-IEF students and then offering counselling and legal services. These anonymous capitalists have no interest in the welfare of the students or spirituality.

While I appreciate that you can only speak for yourself and your words. I have, nonetheless, taken the liberty to direct attention to the outer usage of your thoughts and ideas on WE blog. I noticed, perhaps cynically, that your first article was promoted on the frontpage of WE Blog as "A Letter Of Appreciation For Andrew Cohen By Roberta Anderson". However, a simple reading of your article reveals that your words were both for and against Andrew and not as the editor's subtitle wants us to believe wholly in favor of Andrew.

You write that "these evil WE blog editors" are "all of us are very old and
dear friends". If that in fact reveals that you know who are the nameless, faceless editors then it also shows that they know you. They would also know that you would, in the interests of fairness, seek to present a balanced article. But they did not present you in that light. Instead they put you in the spot light as a Cohen-supporter and then waited for the critics to tear into you. When you later replied and pointed out even more explicitly than before your doubts about Andrew's community, they then posted your doubts. It all looks like some kind of political confession staged (mastered by the communist regimes) for the waiting world media (or just little old WE Blog). I must say that Hal is a genius mastermind!

I am pretty sure that you will not easily become the prey of an exit-counsellor but the bait on a hook you may have naively become.

Roberta Anderson's Reply to WEU Blog

Imagine my surprise in finding my post to the WE blog appearing here on this site. It's probably my own dim-wittedness, but having read through the posts on this blog I can't figure out what you guys are up to or why you are spending so much energy on what appears at least to my reading to be pretty silly stuff. It's certainly okay to be concerned over "unfair censorship", but to make a whole blog devoted to this boggles my mind just a bit. Despite the fact that you apparently have several bones to pick with the WE blog, the truth is that at least as I see it, there are actually a number of sincere people posting there who are genuinely struggling together to sort out and come to a deeper understanding of their own experience. And they really want to do this because they are actually interested not only in their own evolution, but in trying to learn more about what works and what doesn't work in this arena for everyone who finds themselves drawn into wanting to grow and evolve. They want to do this because they actually do care about these rather delicate and profound matters of the human heart! I can't seem to find anything like this "heart" on this blog.. And furthermore (!), my own experience does not to me resemble anything like my "psyche caving in"after being played and being manipulated by some kind of insidious "good cop-bad cop routine"! Wow! I am merely continuing to see more and more deeply into this pretty confused situation because I am continuing to look..and look?and look?because of my own genuine interest in wanted to come to terms with it all. I definitely agree that I "still have some way to go to sort out my reality"!?and I frankly hope that this will always be true. One of the many valuable things I learned from Andrew is that the best we can to is to find tentative hypotheses about the truth of anything, and to keep our eyes open and continue to try to keep examining whatever it is. This matter of "Truth" I think is a pretty subtle matter, and whenever we think that we "have it down" we have lost it. This is part what I tried to express in my last post about the difficulty of holding All Of It simultaneously.

And as for "being casually dropped" by these evil WE blog editors in a week or so ?I can't even wrap my mind about what this could mean. Despite what may appear to be differences between us in trying to come to terms with our own experience, the fact is that all of us are very old and dear friends. Even if we may appear to have different ideas, we actually respect what each other have to say and know that we can all learn from each other--there is something far deeper going on than one face or another appearing and disappearing every week on one blog or another.

And re your last point about the "manipulative exit counselors fighting over my spare dollars"! I don't unfortunately seem to have too many spare dollars, and if I did, I am pretty sure I would find quite a few other things to do with them than using them to get "deprogrammed" or whatever!

With warm regards,
Roberta Anderson

WE Blog Spin Roberta Anderson's Story

Ex- but pro- Cohenite supporter apparently had a sudden conversion experience on "WHAT Enlightenment" blog. In just under 4 days, Roberta's psyche caved in to an alternate "good cop -bad cop" routine played out in front of an assembled audience of self-appointed exit-counsellors, anti-cultists and fundamentalist Christians.

The WE blog editors wary of recent criticisms over bias, bigotry and distortion decided to throw their critics a bone. A carefully pared down one when they posted Roberta Anderson's balanced but shaky testimony on the front-page of their blog. Boldly tagging it as "A Letter Of Appreciation For Andrew Cohen By Roberta Anderson" they insulted their readers intelligence in assuming that they would not see through their ruse. Roberta clearly was an ex-Cohenite who had her doubts but this fact apparently went unnoticed by the canny WE blog editors.

How could the WE blog editors have missed the fact that Roberta wrote in her first sentence that she wanted to "damn" Cohen?

None the less, WE's more dumb posters started to attack Roberta - perceiving her, on the implication of their editors, as a Cohen supporter.

Until, at least, Roberta mentions her doubts about Cohen, then suddenly WE blog is full of hugs, kisses and back-slapping. Hallelujah! Roberta has been brought back to her senses and saved from Satan! If only. The reality is that Roberta was cynically played. She still has some way to go to sort out her reality.

WE blog went as far as to frontpage post a second piece by Roberta in under a week. This is unheard of at WE blog whose productivity is slower than a camel's fart and half as generous to real critics i.e. the unstaged, non-stooge variety. A sort of recantation "Through a Mirror Darkly?continuing to try to see clearly! Further Reflections from Roberta Anderson" has appeared today.


So what will happen to Roberta? After a week she will be casually dropped. But don't worry manipulative "exit-counsellors" will fight for a share of her spare dollar$ if they can convince her that she needs their "help". But more about these anonymous anti-cultists and deprogrammers in WE blog later including "Freebird" later ...
