There's bad psychics, and then there's Linda Dillon.
Hey JREF,
I wanted to bring some attention a woman who I think is probably the ultimate crooked fake psychic, and quite possibly dangerous as well. I don't have my 15 posts yet to place URLs, as my motivation for coming here is to discuss this. So, you'll need to copy and paste links by hand. Also, in part 2 which I will post shortly after this part, I am asking you guys for some advice for dealing with this situation. This woman is a cult-leader, with a lot of money and a lot of followers, and I don't know how badly I can get into trouble for trying to bring attention to her, or whether or not people in the past have landed in legal hot water for trying to expose people like t his. Before going any further, I'll point out that the Sedona "medium" Linda Dillon, from counciloflove.com, is listed as running a pyramid scheme (ripoffreport.com/directory/Linda-Dillon.aspx) after complaints were filed to RipOffReport.com for running a "Gifting Circle" which I assume is a new age version of the popular scam. In addition to this, there are reports that she charges hundreds of dollars for seances. So now we know what kind of person we're dealing with. Linda Dillon is a commander in a massive New Age internet 2012 apocalypse cult (Google "Ascension 2012"). Her lieutenant, a good natured guy named Steve Beckow, who has been brainwashed hook-line-and-sinker, reports every sacred word by Linda Dillon at the 2012 scenario blog. (the2012scenario.com) which is a phenomenally popular hub for the cult. I call this a cult because Linda Dillon and an assembly of her cohorts claim to be channeling "ascended masters". This includes: Archangel Michael and a group of aliens, who they call the "Galactic Federation". This includes her other alter-ego, Grener. No, not the star of HBO's "Entourage", this Grener is some type of captain in the galactic army of Pleiadians, or what-not. Linda posts weekly updates from her channeled overlords. The 2012 Scenario blog reports them, and then bazillions of mini-blogs spread the information across the web. The content revolves around a lot of common cult tactics. In particular a common enemy, which is the cabal, illumanati, etc. In fact, anytime anything goes wrong or Linda should be held accountable, she points a finger at the "shadow government". In fact, since becoming an outspoken critic, I am certain she is going to start telling people that I'm with the CIA or the "dark ones". Her cultists eat this stuff up. Generally, the followers are the people I feel extremely bad for. They are emotionally vulnerable people being exploited to the max. That's why I've become quite passionate about this. It's a very lurid situation. So, the main theme of these guys is how everything is going to reach a crescendo on Dec. 21st, 2012 when the alien ships land. The same alien ships her and her other mediums are channeling. Everything I've posted so far is "old news". Nothing that really inspired me to take a stand against this. Not until some events developed this week that prompted my attention. I will discuss in the next post galactic motherships, space stripclubs, and lying angels. Stoplindadillon.wordpress.com |

So things got interesting last week when I checked out the 2012 scenario site.
Beckow, the main blogger, grew rightfully anxious about a lack of tangible stuff coming out of the Linda Dillon claims. Why doesn't the galactic federation actually, you know, come down and show themselves? So he confronted Dillon about this. Linda Dillon, or Archangel Michael, or Grener, or whoever she was at that point, responded by making an announcement that rocked the Ascension cult: 150+ people would be selected to get beamed out of their homes on the 4th of February and take part in a 10-day tour of space on the galactic mothership, the Neptune (the2012scenario.com/2012/02/occupy-disclosure-update-1/). In fact, the space-entities could transform ships into "limousines" which would personally escort participants to launch sites. At this point, Beckow claimed the site was receiving 100,000+ hits a day. Followers from around the world who were added to "the list" began cancelling work appointments and making reservations to be gone from the 4th-14th. I was hitting "refresh" a lot on the 2012 scenario page. I really wanted to see this train wreck unfold. Not surprisingly, nothing happened on the 4th. The true believers remained unaffected, while other people grew angry and lashed out. Beckow was so upset he felt responsible for the disaster, and vowed to take a hiatus from his work in a self-imposed exile. Linda, of course, pointed the finger at the "shadow government", people who were not true-believers, and Beckow for bringing too much attention to the event. Regarding Space Deodorant Linda, probably realizing how the publicity stunt could backfire, had to create some testimonials. First, she appointed some fellow "medium" to write a testimony of his trip through the Neptune. This didn't interest. What interested me is an account by paranormal author John Lear, who said he was among those beamed-up (the2012scenario.com/2012/02/alleged-first-posts-from-the-neptune/). John Lear's posts: “A literal flying city. Sorry I didn’t report back sooner. I was exhausted. The amount of wondrous things I saw and all the information I learned can really tire one out. Anyway only a small number of folks were actually picked up. 25 that I counted personally. It was told to us that Mr Beckow and a lot of others could not be picked up at this time due to the fact that Mr Beckow made all of this too public. ” “John Lear” Message — Feb. 5th 2012 “Anyway I have already become addicted to the gravity free game court. so much fun floating around. the rest of the ship has artificial gravity, but they have told us it is only at 83% of what it is on earth so it feels quite nice actually and a bit different.” “John Lear” Message — Feb. 5th 2012. My favorite: “They don’t use deodorant! I forgot my deodorant so I tried to go get some in the supply area. They said they don’t use deodorant. The lady at the counter rolled her eyes and gave me a package that contained two small strips. really small, about a 1/4 of an inch long by 1/8 inch thick”. Feb. 5th 2012. The source of the posts? Everyones favorite conspiracy forum GodlikeProductions.com Alien Motherships, or Vegas stripclubs? So I did the only logical thing to do. I tracked down John Lear, of Project Pegasus / George Norie time-travel fame, to try and get to the bottom of this weirdness about space deodorant and what-not. A little browsing, I found his e-mail address, and asked him if he is currently on board a mothership called the "Neptune". John Lear's response: Always at home, xxxx N. Hollywood Blvd. Las Vegas sitting behind my desk playing with the computer. The only time I move is to go out the back door and get wood for the fire. Or to go into the kitchen to get a quart of ice cream. Or to go to bed. Neptune? Is that one of the new strip clubs over on West Twain? I’ve cut back a lot and only have 2 tables anymore. One at Crazy Horse II and one at Little Darlings. All the best. Sorry. I guess it's not really a space stripclub story, but I thought the response was hilarious. More than likely if the mothership Neptune had naked girls on it, our friend John Lear would have been up there. So, this report from John Lear was a fake. An internet troll, at best. How does Linda Dillon respond? By announcing the John Lear report was real. the2012scenario.com/2012/02/transcript-of-grener-on-an-hour-with-an-angel-feb-7-2012/. Steve Beckow: Accounts are starting to emerge of people who are claiming to be on the Neptune. There’s one account that features a description from John Lear, who used to write about UFOs and Area 51. Is that an accurate, reliable account? Linda Dillon (as “Grener”): Yes. SB: Some people raised their eyebrows when he said he put a deodorant strip under his arms. Is that true? G: Well, you can do whatever you want! That is the thing. You don’t have to. SB: But the account was— G: But frankly, that would be quite unusual. SB: So the account was accurate? G: There are some accounts that are coming forward that are very accurate— So, in a nutshell, Linda Dillon created a fake testimonial from a living-author, despite the real-author's utter confusion, heralds it as a real report to further entice her followers to continue to pay hundreds of dollars for seances, and to continue to be the commander of her galactic army of very sad people clinging to the community. My questions are: how bad hot water could I get into trying to speak out against her? I"m sure she has a frightening legal team. She has a horde of netizens who vehemently defend her. I feel like I'm sticking my neck out for this one, but I want to see some kind of justice, with at the very least her community dissolving before more people are exploited. If there's any tips or advice related to this, I'd appreciate it. CK |

if you stick to the claims that you can prove 100% are lies, then the only way she can successfully sue is by proving you wrong. Say you get John Lear as a witness, you need to establish that she wasnt talking about some other John Lear who used to write about UFO's and area 51 or that the John Lear didn't in fact write what she claims he did as a prank, which she can later claim innocence from. Your evidence needs to therefore be solid in that she lied and profited from it. Your statements about Lear here don't show in any way that she's responsible, just that she believes it.

heh heh i was called out, i'm with the CIA
Thanks, that makes a lot of sense. Basically, I'm certain she's lying through her teeth about this. But somebody this slippery could find ways to stretch it and get legal. I might wait a little while or even close shop on that blog and see how the fallout develops first. |

Thx I'll check that out...
But what I would like to do is create an internet group called "The Shadow Council" that works as lieutenants for the one world order to thwart the plans of new age revolutionaries. I'd like a very PC web site and message "Welcome to the Shadow Council home-page. We work closely with the CIA, FBI, NSA, and the Bush dynasty reptilian aliens to prevent world enlightenment. Please sign our guestbook" |

Wait, now just how the heck do you sign an internet guest book in blood? Look if you’re going to go dark and do it halfway you just end up with twilight (who needs that?).
To help raise money for your new council I can recommend… Recognize the reptilian shape shifting contest: Post your best chameleon picture for a price, if we guess it... you lose. Name that secret base contest: Pictures of obscure places in the many secret bases around the galaxy, guess it correctly (for a nominal fee) and you get taken there (return trip not included). Find the obvious plan contest: As devious as we are, this dang compulsion that says we must announce our plans in hidden ways brings us to our biggest prize. For a modest entry fee, if you can’t determine what our plan is then you become the centerpiece in its, well, execution. |

To raise money I'd rather just have a cookie drive or a bake sale. Dress some feds in black suits and shades at a campus with cupcakes and banana bread to go toward preventing alien disclosure and supporting the one world order.
So I just saw the latest news from the ascension front: the2012scenario.com/2012/02/tying-up-loose-ends-as-the-critiques-roll-in/ ![]() They're still harping John Lear. Blaming the Dark Cabal for not allowing the galactic cruise to take place, and defending Linda Dillon. She could do almost anything, blame the Dark Cabal, and get away with it. They're also talking about something called a "Bridge Fund" which is super-top secret, but involves one cultist who had to mortgage his house to pay for it-- wtf? |

Mostly ladies run this thing, but that doesn't mean girls can't be into girls.
It appears that the Bridge Fund is actually something used to siphon large amounts of money from followers, based on the post I linked and reading some of the upset reactions of ascension followers who are angry at Dillon. |

I'm actually weary of trying to stop her and her organization, and as a member of the Illuminati I am standing up to admit we exist and are trying to stop them from spreading their groovy vibes. But she keeps on defeating us!

The "bridge fund" is related to the "swampland in Florida fund" and is only available to those with sufficient net worthiness.
Double-dog-dare you to build the website. I'd sign your guestbook. Oh, and p.s: Have you ever seen Penn & Teller's series ********? If not, you need to. |

Hey guys,
Some developments going on. Linda Dillon's "Bridge Fund" is more than just a scam. It was orchestrated by Dillon and a former state Senator named Dave Schmidt. The same one who was recently charged with embezzlment. Check out heraldnet.com/article/20111207/NEWS01/712079892. The scam went like this: Dillon channeling Jesus, Archangel Michael, Genghis Khan or whoever else she has on her ticket, told her followers that the aliens would enact massive health-care reform called "NESARA". Everyone would be healthy in no-time at all. That being said, until NESARA is acted, everyone should pool money together to help out the less fortunate Lightworkers. This would be a donation chest that Steve Beckow would advertise on his massively popular blog. Guess who steps out of the blue and volunteers to be the accountant? Dave Schmidt, who is boys with Linda Dillon. The money gone into this "Hope Chest" / "Bridge Fund"? Never seen again by anyone outside of Dave Schmidt, and Linda Dillon. This crazy chick not only has, at this point, TONS of swindled $$$, but state senators in her pocket. My blog's still open, but I just don't know how to tackle this fish in a safe way. No regular person could defend these allegations in court, especially with all of her victims coming out of the woodwork to support what I'm doing and come out against this. But, crooks like this have serious legal reach. Kind of like fighting the Scientologists. |

OK, so how it that not just a scam?
Yep, much like Scientology or the FOTL rigmarole, unfortunately filing numerous spurious law suits has, at least at times, proven to be an effective tool at keeping those less determined at bay. So you've got to pick your fights carefully. I fear you have a hard row to hoe particularly with the potential of a storm of litigation. Perhaps some angle to get some big (litigious) guns on your side (the ACLU or some such)? Though those issues tend to be very focused and won't extend much beyond just pulling a specific weed or two. |
