Testimonial - Well it seems that most of you "discordians" are little more than dupes of the Cathedral/NWO memetic apparatus after all -- "freethinkers" in the sense that you are willing to think slightly outside the designated boxes of correct thought, but not free in the sense that you reject the existence of the boxes and seek their destruction.

I am so. fucking. sick. of this new "therapeutic grade" essential oil buzz. They have their uses, as in, perfumes and with minor ailments, but not a fucking one of them is proven to be antiviral or antibacterial to the extent needed to treat severe illness. I fucking hate natropaths. They need to DIAF.

She's a Young Living seller trying to make sales by using fear mongering. That's all. That shit needs to be shut down.

I dunno, in this particular instance I may be in favour of letting the free market sort this out.

I mean, if you think essential oils sold by someone who admits to not being a doctor are going to fight ebola, I'm pretty sure you weren't going to hang onto your money for long anyway.

And if they do catch ebola they're pretty much fucked anyway.

That's not that shocking. Such disclaimers are standard with these kind of folk.

What amazes me, consistently, is that they say this right at the start and then people still buy into the bullshit anyway.

It's even more amazing that with a few terms switched, it seems to occur in Financial, Political and/or any other circle you can imagine. People trust the tall people with good hair and teeth who talk authoritatively. They trust them right off the cliff. Ask Steve Jobs.


We look at ancient/colonial medicine and remedies ("Drink this Mercury!") as insane. In 100 years, people will talk about these guys in the same way. I hope.

Nine naked Men just walking down the road will cause a heap of trouble for all concerned.

It's been weeks, and there has been no epidemic in America, even though they brought some lady back from Africa and put her in some sorta "isolation ward" (patoiee!).  The essential oils are obviously working.

Well, that or the fact that I painted my door with blood & semen to keep the disease demons away1.  Everyone thank me now.

I think the real question here is, who's semen did you use?

Obviously this is why the military is claiming they are using a "secret serum".  If everyone knew they could just make use of essential oils, Big Pharma would collapse.

How the fuck should I know?  I can't afford to DNA test every freak that comes down the street.

Well, this is why Big Pharma lives in fear of tell-all websites.  They don't want you to know just how rotten the edifice is.  One good push with Ancient Asian Wisdom, and over the bastard goes.

So there is this huge, huge, FRIGHTENINGLY huge segment of the young reproductively active population that buys into this shit, hard. They identify themselves by it. "Natural parenting". This is a byproduct of the abject failure of the public education system; these, for the most part, are people who will in all sincerity use the words "do your research" to mean "google it and believe whatever's written on the first five for-profit snake-oil-peddling websites you find".

These are the same people who decry "big pharma" and the doctors who practice "conventional medicine" because they believe it's all driven by the profit motive, and spout outright bullshit such as "doctors don't have to take a single nutrition class in med school" (yeah, um, that's because med school isn't taught in classroom format, fucking ignorant twits) but wilfully disregard the profit motive of the multibillion dollar "alternative medicine" market, and happily spend thousands being pushed into chronic illness while spending thousands on the bullshit, if not outright harmful, supplements and treatments peddled to them by naturopathic "doctors".
