Brainwashing you for money Level: 15 CS Original | This is interesting: "Fresco had a circle of disciples who considered him next only to Albert Einstein, although the friends and relatives of those disciples often thought Fresco was a fraud and charlatan." — p. 158, ¶ 2 - Rolfe, Lionel, "Unpopular Science", Fat Man On the Left, Los Angeles: California Classics Books, pp. 158–161, ISBN 978-1879395015 Even back then people knew he was setting himself up as a paid guru. From the same source: "Fresco didn't adjust to Army life and was eventually discharged…" — p. 169, ¶ 4 This sounds to me like Fresco recieved a dishonorable discharge, or a forced retirement from service haha "A Trip To The Moon". The Miami Herald Sunday Magazine (Miami): pp. Section G. April 8, 1956. http://www.thevenusproject.com/images/stories/archived-media/Newspapers/1956%20-%20MiamiHerald/Binder1.pdf. "Fresco was a corporal with the Air Force design development division at Wright field for 18 months during World War II." — col. 2, ¶ 7 He only managed 18 months in this job and was discharged "With difficulty adjusting to army life, a psychiatrist reviewed Fresco[23] and suggested relocating his talents to the Army Air Force[13]" Andreeva, Tamara. (March 3, 1950). "Frustrated Genius". Olean Times Herald (New York): pp. 13. http://access.newspaperarchive.com.ezproxy.lapl.org/Viewer.aspx?img=35636251&firstvisit=true&src=search¤tResult=3¤tPage=0&fpo=False. So in essence he joined the army and they had to send him to a psychiatrist for evaluation because he wasnt functioning correctly, they reassigned him to another division, and he lasted 18 months and was then discharged. | |||||

Brainwashing you for money Level: 15 CS Original | This made me chuckle too: When you check the source it says: So when they say Arthur C Clarke was a friend who tried to help Jacque Fresco, what they really mean is Fresco had contacted him, and Clarke sent him some other people to contact who might help him. haha | |||||

Brainwashing you for money Level: 15 CS Original | More funny stuff about his education and setting himself up as a Doctor of psychology fraudulantly, and then getting into trouble for it. Smith, Mac. (Dec. 31, 1961). "A Look Ahead Through Fresco's Window". Florida Living Magazine (Miami): pp. 2–3. http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=OAxgAAAAIBAJ&sjid=UOkFAAAAIBAJ&pg=1604%2C4941153. "When he first arrived in Miami he lived (and worked) on a boat." — p. 2, col. 3, ¶ 1 Here is another lie: "His Doctor of Philosophy degree from small, unaccredited Sierra State University (Los Angeles) does nothing to document his scientific work." — p. 2, col. 2, ¶ 2 Fresco himself claims he never got any certificates or education, he is also known to have failed his courses and was never awarded any doctorates. | |||||
