"Same stuff he's doing now."

If there's one thing I've learned since studying conspiracy theories, it's that people like Joseph never really go away. Doesn't matter what outrageous predictions they make or what they say, they'll still be viewed as freedom fighters by the tinfoil hat crowd.

CT'rs probably wont care, as long as peter says what they want to hear he will be welcomed back into the funny farm with open arms.

The only way I can remotly see Peter Joseph or the TZM surviving is if they can find a "guru" to replace Fresco. But other then that he is sunk.

Merola will never be working at McDonalds. He can always get an art fag job or play the stock market.

What I mean is I think the TZM is dead. But the members will go on to attach themselves to people like Alex Jones or David Icke. Basicly thier will not be any ZM anymore. But the memebers will move on to the next kook. Helpfully their might be a few that might move on from this and go on to live normal lives.

^ Interesting perspective. I never of thought of it in that way before but it makes sense.

^ TZM failed in my books, TVP was what they advocated and TVP doesn't want to be associated with them anymore. People who are interested in TZM and TVP are only interested in watching what those crazy lunatics will do next.

Providing a container for passive wannabe-revolutionaries who lack both the skill and initiative to do something themselves.

I kinda fell into that category myself - wanting to write a book on the shortcomings of economics and how a superior system for the future should look and maybe expanding to a foundation, but not really having the motivation to do so after work. So at the time, hanging around at TZM and waiting for some kind of activism to happen sounded kinda nice.

I think a lot of TZM members are like this, they're just hanging out at the waiting room.

All PJ has to do is make an announcement once in a while saying how sick they are and how awesome it is that they've come to get a treatment.

That's why I don't think TZM is going to die, it's like a sci-fi subscription. I've had a friend talk political theory 101 and economics 101 with these guys - he was actually trying to get an idea what TZM's core criticisms of the status quo are, but they didn't even listen.

It's the same with trilateral commission CT's, NONE of these guys ever read one of the leaked reports of the meetings. Why? Because they're incredibly boring and predictable. They like the thrill the story provides, not the facts. Same with TZM, only that it's hope, not thrill.

TZM doesn't want to understand these issues either, and losing their "teacher" isn't any more important than having no organization.
They're not angry the doctor doesn't want to see them, or that he would tell them they don't have a real illness, they just like hanging out at the waiting room.
