Dear Tito:

Thank you for your attention to the statistical matters in our proposed
test. It's difficult to convey feeling through black and white, but I
want you to know how sincerely I appreciate your efforts and
contributions in revealing the motive force behind homeopathy, and
specifically in helping us to arrange a demonstration of it in a double
blind study.
     For many weeks now a thought has been nagging me, that the argument
here isn't really a scientific one, it's an emotional one.
     The explanation is really so obvious at to what homeopathy is we're
just missing it, that it's really quite obvious to anyone of our
generation who has even a passing reference to the nature of radiation,
as expressed though the Nuclear Age, what homeopathy really is.
     And this morning the seed matured, and the thought articulated
itself in words. If we took a piece of plutonium and dropped it into a
glass of water, and shook it up, what would happen to the water?
     It would become radioactive, right?
     If we took a drop of that radioactive water, and dropped it into
another glass of water, what would happen to that water? Yet would there
be any molecular trace of the Plutonium? No, of course not. But
everybody who's read about Plutonium would understand what the qualities
of the water, which had been exposed to it, would be, right?  Using the
Japanese as test subjects, the American Air Force proved their
hypothesis quite conclusively to all impartial observers, but of course
this is still technically only anecdotal evidence in terms of the JREF
Challenge.
    And, of course, we know that there is homeopathic Plutonium. It's
easy to see how it's made, right?
    The English homeopath Phyl Eyre reported on the proving of Plutonium
she participated in months ago. Anthropormorphically it is fascinating
stuff. Phyl's accounts of it are really quite eerie. We must post them
on our site!
     Everything has it's own radiant qualities. Benveniste's doing some
remarkable research on this, as you have noted. So it really doesn't
take a stretch of the imagination to understand what homeopathy . . . or
hormesis . . .  really is. In fact, the problem is it's so simple to our
modern minds we seem to be content to miss it. Science wants some
complicated answer, not something just everyone can understand. Yet look
what it took to prove atomic energy. WIthout a war, would they have
bothered? Without Randi, would we have bothered?
     Yes, my friend, Randi. There's a basic psychodynamic that stage
magicians use to present their illusions. Having married a magician's
daughter, I've been exposed to a lot of their shenanigans. The basic
rule from a magician, and this was explained to me in these words from a
professional, that the essence of stage hypnosis and magic is "go along
to get along."
     Basically what it means is "don't challenge the premise and no one
will be embarrassed, everyone will have a good time and everyone will
get their money's worth for the entertainment. Don't spoil the fun. If
you do, I'll humiliate you in front of all these people."  The cues are
given silently to the volutneers to simply act hypnotized. The feeling
is that you've made the committment to come up here and so now you're a
part of the show. Go along with the act and there won't be any problem.
Please, help me. Doesn't work very well on kids, though.
     "If you see how the trick is done, don't say anything, keep it a
secret".
     The carrot made to the volunteer sub silentio is that by going
along with the act he will be put on the inside of an exclusive
fraternity . . . honor .  . . and in his promotional poster note the
medal on Dr. Randi's chest (http://www.randi.org/jr/poster.html)
    But the wand, is also weidled as the stick, and the message is, "If
you fail to keep this covenant, I will humiliate you, for I have other
powers you do not know", and note the passive, suspended woman in the
picture. She appears to be totally in his control, (although I can
imagine what she must say to him when they get backstage). And also note
the promise of humiliation by Randi in the Psychic Challnege application
(http://www.randi.org/jr/chall.html), and the continued threats to
humiliate me, the stated desire to see me "go up in flames.".
     This is how Randi the Magician is attempting to control our
thinking, and many people are happy (Happy Dog) to put higher
consciousness aside and go along with him.  The million dollars is like
the big prize at a rigged carney game. We're only supposed to dream
about winning it. If anyone does win it, it would probably most likely
be a shill who later returns it.
     So we get sucked in to not thinking about the obvious. Like using
overtly radioactive material to potentize the homeopathic solution and
win the bet.
     The difference is that the paradigm here encompasses the world and
affects millions in the acceptance of an accused doctrine. Homeopathy,
we might say, is "scientifically challenged."  And one man appears to
have turned this into a stage act, and unfortunately, it's not really
serving Man because its dissuading from an effective form of treatment
for his ills, and I think we can say that people SERIOUSLY are getting
hurt, people are suffering and dying because they've been told that
wahat is in truth an effective method of cure for a panolply of ills is
just another rip off. Well, I can see what's going on here, and I hope
you can to. I think it's time to put a stop to it. And I really
appreciate the efforts you and others have made to support a difficult
argument, that solid proof needs to be established for this doctrine so
a stop can be put to it. Skepticism is killing people.
      When the carney game rips off too many people, it's usually the
sheriff who comes in and closes it down. But because of the magnitude of
what happening, it requires the Ultimate Authority to weigh in. But it
won't happen unless it's invoked. The Law doesn't just stand up and walk
on it's own like a lot of people want to believe. It has to be
strenuously, at times, prosecuted. And very early in this game, I
invoked it,
     What it is, more specifically,  is the fair and impartial judgment
of lay people acting in the role of inquest. The statutory process can
be made obedient to it by the mere power of its logic and record. In an
inquest, the adversarial process stops, and all judgment is passed over
to twelve or more people, who've have been simply drawn at random from
the community, and by their unanimous consent the final decision is made
between right and wrong. Inquest is logically the best method we have of
representing the unanimous will and consent of Man. Inquest brings
people together on important issues rather than splitting them apart as
in adversarial proceedings. The inquest will always rule when invoked,
in Fort Lauderdale, where Randi resides, or in Kosovo, where chaos
dwells..It will work on any scale.

     The reason "science" hasn't fully accepted homeopathy is because
"science" has spent the last 200 years denying its reality, and now
"science" is in the humiliating position of having to rewrite a lot of
defamatory text. The reports from the lay millions is that homeopathy
works, and "science" is in the awkward position of having to admit
they're right. For those of us who use homeopathy, we really don't care
what science thinks or who proves what in a double blind boobelah.
     Unless of course there's a million dollars in the balance.
     In the final analysis, that's all that needs to be written. Winning
Randi's test isn't so tough. The protocol states I can name the
substance from which to dilute the final solution.
     Okay.
     What if I were to choose Plutonium?

your friend,

John Benneth
