Skeptic Project

He joined the White Citizens Council too. He admitted his involvement and fabricated the explanations to avoid being exposed and to save face. Big steaming pile of horse manure.

Somewhere in the FAQ section of thevenusproject.com, but I don't want to fish through it:
"That’s why he joined the KKK and the White Citizen’s Council and worked on ways of turning them around. He was successful at this."

Yeah he is being given credit for supposedly turning a local chapter of his KKK from being fascist rascist scumbags into decent everyday human beings by showing them videos of his trained pig.

The story is fucking hilarious, bordering on insanity.

hahaha

I have this suspicion that Fresco is a compulsive liar because a majority of the 'facts' he presents to his members can not be verified, and conveniently most of his resume is undated and unplaced.

If you compare his online resume to anyone else his supposed level, you see a huge disparity in its design and format. With most people who would be considered his peers by his fanclub you can verify their work and their involvement in matters.

But Jacque Frescos not only uses ambiguous terminology, it is nigh on impossible to verify the majority of it due to companies not existing, locations witheld, dates witheld and specific details witheld. Its almost as if he has intentionally been vague to prevent being called out on his lack of substance, or that he really is a complete amateur and can not even manage to put together a resume, or perhaps he is so senile he can not even remember himself where he worked ?

Either way you look at it, it should set off alarm bells when you can not even verify the veracity of his resume. Its seemingly convenient in that he can make claims of being here and there doing this and that, and because he is 4-6 times older than his average member age they have hardly any means of checking on him. Also he has probably outlived his peers who would combat any false claims he makes.

I gave him this letter I was writing about how people should treat each other nicer...

Hardcore racists tend to believe in pseudo-scientific methods or religion to justify their bigotry. In fact, the KKK is a "Christian" (their label, not mine) organization.

The idea that Fresco could rationally convince irrational people to drop their beliefs is simply absurd. And with a trained pig no less. The only possible way you could believe this crap is if you wanted to.

Looking at his history, he has a number of very, very questionable connections.

The more I look at Fresco's past, the more I doubt the idea that he is just an innocent old man being exploited by Merola. At this point, I honestly don't know who is exploiting who.

"But like you, I don't know what to make of Fresco's flirtation with white supremacists."

I have my suspicions.

I think Fresco was a proponent of social darwinism and eugenics. Rather than being honest about getting caught up in something that at the time wasn't a big deal, the Dunning Kruger effect kicked in and he believed he could downplay it by inventing a story about a trained pig.

At the time there was much scientific "evidence" showing that whites were "superior". It wasn't so much a matter of being a racist as it was basing opinions on bad data.

I think Fresco bought into that and is either too arrogant or too crazy or too stupid to just come clean about it. If you'll notice, these people are never wrong about anything.

None of the people involved in this thing are intellectually honest.

"Why even bring up the KKK story now, apart from old people's tendency to tell everyone who'll listen about their past?"

Did the pig story come before his connections to white supremacists came to light, or after?

I just realized how completely absurd this conversation is:

"What came first? The pig or the KKK?"

This reminds me of Clayton Bigsby.
