The Cassiopaean Cult

For Laura Knight Jadczyk, the Cassiopaeans are a lie told so often that it has become truth. They are for her a kind of virtual omniscient arbiter of ultimate truth somewhere in the future. To be blunt, this can only be an example of pathology run wild. When one lies to one’s self, so deeply and so consistently, and with such aberrant ideation as to believe that your self in the future is talking to you via a ouiji board, then madness seems the only conclusion.

Laura Knight Jadczyk has been telling lies, and believing them with great conviction, since childhood. The Cassiopaeans are just the latest and most grandiose attempt by a desperately lonely person to gain some attention, some notice, some respect, whether deserved or not.

Of course the Cassiopaeans are just Laura in the future, wasn’t that obvious from the beginning?

If you are reading this, you are probably interested in one way or another in the long sad and sordid saga of Laura Knight Jadczyk and her mis-adventures with the Cassiopaeans. You might have seen their site, or even read some of Laura’s work. You might be one of her fans, or even a follower, perhaps even one of those who contribute to her life style in France because you like what she has to say. No matter, the truth by now should plain for all to see. Laura Knight Jadczyk is in service to no one but herself.

Laura Knight Jadczyk is a thief, and most important of all a liar.

That Laura Knight Jadczyk, her husband Ark Jadczyk, and other members of the Perseus Foundation did in fact commit serious fraud with the fake house raffle scam, the so-called Raffle of the Millennium, should be obvious to anyone who takes the time to look at the very basic details:

o They took in money, between $100,000 and $150,000 from October to January 2002 –03, as a non-profit raffle sponsor even though Perseus Foundation is not now, and never has been, a legal 501-c-3 with the ability to grant tax write offs for donations.

o They never gave their house away, didn’t even pay off the mortgage, and as recently as this summer, 2003, were trying to sell it themselves.

o They left quickly for France, where, by Laura’s own figures in various instalments of the French Connection, they have spent over $80,000 in moving and living expenses, in addition to a $50,000 down payment on a castle.

Laura Knight Jadczyk has admitted in various round-about places that the above facts are true. The donation pages no longer mentions the Perseus Foundation or any kind of tax-exempt status, and certainly there has never been any sort of authorization letter from the IRS granting 501-c-3 status. Laura admitted that things didn’t go quite right with the house in Florida, but blamed it on the people she left in charge. And while she has never said where the money she details in her rantings comes from, there can be little doubt that it is in fact the money from the raffle scam.

Laura Knight Jadczyk is such a brazen thief that she even writes long articles describing what they did and how they spent the stolen money. And feels persecuted when her critics, and even her followers, call her on it. From this alone, we can see her psychopathic sense of entitlement and her complete lack of understanding about the consequences of her actions.

But it is Laura Knight Jadczyk’s lies that really tell the tale.

Rather than just telling the truth about the raffle, Laura Knight Jadczyk began to lie even more, and as the lies grew more obvious, the façade began to crack. Even her most ardent supporters began to ask a few too many inconvenient questions: Just where did the money go? How did you pay for moving to France? And most telling of all: Where are the Cassiopaeans?

And so she trotted out the biggest fattest lie of all – that the Cassiopaeans themselves weren’t really anything but omniscient Laura talking to her self from the future. She didn’t need to “channel” at the old ouiji board, no siree, she could do it just as she typed in her old easy chair… It’s all just her anyway right?

The logical implications of this belief system are almost as mind-boggling as the Cretan paradox, which it so resembles. In this sense, all channelers are liars, except the one who tells you that all channelers are liars… But a channeler who says she’s talking to herself through the board might be telling the truth, in which case she wouldn’t be channelling. And so on…

The real truth concealed by all her lies is this: She can’t pull it off any more. The Cassiopaean Experiment is over.

The Cassiopaeans have always been a lie. Laura Knight Jadczyk read widely and was a fast speller; to her the ouiji board was an easy way to say things that she couldn’t express otherwise. From the beginning, she manipulated the responses in various ways, including extensive post-session editing, to get the result she wanted. In simple terms, she faked it.

However with an entourage watching it becomes harder to fake it. So, now she just makes it up at the computer as she goes along… The lie, the Cassiopaeans, have become the reality - Laura in the future.
