The Raffle Scam of the Millennium Revealed
Or how to pretend to raffle your house, swindle your followers and escape to France on the loot…In which Laura Knight Jadczyk admits they took the money and ran and tries to blame the people she left behind holding the bag!

By Vincent Bridges
8/15/2003

The most recent phase of the cultic career of Laura Knight Jadczyk and the Cassiopaeans began roughly three months ago when her new improved website went up. It featured a news page, Signs of the Times, which actually did a fairly good job of covering the news that fell between the cracks of the mainstream. That is if you have a high tolerance for idiotic gloating and endless quotes from their peculiar channeled source, the Cassiopaeans, who are either 6th density time-traveling aliens, or,according to the latest interpretation, Laura herself in the future. And if you were curious, and had a strong enough stomach to read through the terrible prose and demeaning sneers, you’d find the basic dogma of a dangerous doomsday cult behind that veneer of radical reporting. Part of their dogma is the entrenched belief that we, Jay Weidner and Vincent Bridges, are psychopathic non-human intelligence agents, “Organic Portals” in their cult jargon, sent by the Matrix to destroy her work. Strangely enough, this is very similar to the delusion she held about her first husband, Lewis Martin, as described in the biographic epic, The Exorcist in Love, by Tom French.

Three months later, everyone except the dozen or so people living on the farm in France, and maybe not even all of them, have become non-human psychopaths out to make Laura’s life miserable. As they resist being evicted from their miraculously delivered farm, and the new scam, a move to a Chateau near Bordeaux, falls apart before it evens gets going, trouble gathers like storm clouds over Laura and the Cassiopaeans.

The story of the house raffle scam really began over a year ago , on the summer solstice 2002, when a conclave of the faithful was held at the old Cassiopaean headquarters in New Port Richey, Florida. At the meeting, the idea of a raffle was discussed, although it took several months for the importance of the idea to sink in. By October of 2002, however, the plan was in motion.

It was a very simple idea, at least at first. Hold a raffle under the auspices of the Perseus Foundation and give away your house to the winner. Take the money from the raffle and pay off the mortgage on the house, and then use the rest to move to France.
But that’s apparently not the way things worked out.

The first problem was the Perseus Foundation. It had been filed as a nonprofit corporation in the state of Florida in December of 1999, and filed with the IRS as a 501(c) 3 educational nonprofit in April of 2000. But because of Laura and Ark’s failure to provide adequate documentation, mission statement, financial and operating structure and so on, they had never received their letter of authorization. As part of their plan, they needed the Perseus Foundation to be a legal nonprofit, and so in the fall of 2002 filed the paperwork needed to receive their authorization. In November of 2002, just as their raffle was getting underway, they received notification that another Perseus Foundation existed, the one in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and that further information was required before authorization was granted. This information was supplied in late July 2003, but they have yet to receive a letter of authorization giving them official 501c3 status.

However, even if the Perseus Foundation is found to be a legally constituted nonprofit organization, there is still the question of the raffle. To be legal in the state of Florida a raffle must be sponsored by a legitimate nonprofit organization, and very strict rules must be followed in accounting for the money taken in, and, most important of all, the announcement of winners. By state law, the name of the winner must be publicly posted, and must be supplied to any interested person who requests it.

To date, nothing has ever been heard, even by those who bought a raffle ticket, concerning the winner of the raffle. During our investigation, we heard from several people who bought raffle tickets. Here’s a few comments:

“I bought a raffle ticket on December 12th, 2002, by paypal. The money was withdrawn from my account on December 13th. I purchased another one on January 22nd, again by paypal, and again the money was withdrawn the next day. I never received any other notification, no actual number or ticket with a number. In response to my inquiries as to how the raffle was to be conducted, Ms. Jadczyk informed me that they had that part “taken care of,” and that they would let everyone know who won. That was two days before the raffle. A week later, I tried to get in touch and received no response to my emails or phone calls. A few days later, the phone was disconnected. I have yet to receive any kind of word concerning the outcome of the raffle.”

“In December of 2002, I sent the Jadczyk’s a check, #6548, for three raffle tickets. The check was cashed by a New Port Richey bank on January 3rd, 2003. The check is endorsed to an account in the name of the Perseus Foundation, and signed by Dr. A. Jadczyk. In February of 2003, I began to try to get in touch with them to see if I had won. No response. I have yet to hear anything from them at all. They simply cashed my check and disappeared.”

The raffle was supposedly held on the last day of January 2003. Within ten days, the Cassiopaeans would be gone on what they hoped would be their escape to France.

So what happened to the money?

From our sources inside the cult, it would appear that they raised between $100,000 and $150,000 from raffle sales and outright donations to the Perseus Foundation. As this money was collected in large measure by electronic means, there remains a paper trail in bank records, paypal transactions and so on. Which means that a record remains of perhaps 80% of the money collected, money that will have to be accounted for under the provisions of their nonprofit authorization, assuming that even at this late date they actually have one.

Non-profits may make money, conduct fund raising and even run businesses, as long as none of that revenue ends up benefiting the members, directors or board of the organization. Both David Duke, the racist KKK leader turned politician, and Jim Bakker, charismatic televangelist, ended up doing federal time over just such improprieties in their non-profits. They thought of the stream of donations to their cause as their personal cookie jar, and were shocked to learn that the world didn’t agree.

Laura Knight Jadczyk appears to be equally shocked to learn that she is also accountable for her actions. Her response has been to call us “psychopaths” and Cosmic Organic Portal COINTELPRO agents for wanting answers to reasonable questions. This may be good enough for the duped minions in the cult, however few of those remain, but we doubt it will sway the IRS.

In French Connection 13 and in the August 16th front page of Signs of the Times, we find Laura’s feeble attempt at answering the questions. However, instead of just posting the relevant documents – the charter of the Perseus Foundation, the 501-c-3 authorization letter, a summary accounting of the raffle, a summary accounting of the first two years of the Foundation’s existence including salaries, the transfer of title on the house in New Port Richey, and most important of all, the name of the winner of the raffle – Laura serves up a big dish of “bait and switch.”

Here’s her response, with our comments in brackets:

Not only are nonprofit corporations entitled to function as a legal entity in other ways, many of them (including Perseus Foundation) have the following articles included in their incorporation papers:

[Note that the actual charter is not given, just a quote from the instructions on what such a charter must provide.]ARTICLE VI. POWERS The powers of the Corporation shall be provided in the bylaws of the Corporation in accordance with Chapter 617, Florida Statutes with the following limitations within the meaning of 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code, as may be amended: 1. No part of the net earnings of the Corporation shall inure to the benefit of, or be distributed to its members, directors, officers or other private interests. However, the Corporation shall be authorized and empowered to pay a reasonable flat salary for services rendered by its employees and to make payments and other distributions in furtherance of the purposes set forth in Article IV.

[And here’s their problem in a nutshell. They must account for the money taken in by the Perseus Foundation, including the raffle, without any of it unduly benefiting them. As they used the money to move themselves to France, this would seem to be an insurmountable problem.]

The terms nonprofit or not for profit, as a type of corporation, do not preclude these entities from engaging in a profit making business either directly or via a contract with another, for-profit corporation. In fact a nonprofit corporation is not necessarily a charitable corporation or one that is tax exempt. They are quite simply corporations that may not distribute their income to a member, director or officer other than as provided by law.

[Laura is somewhat mistaken here, not surprisingly. A nonprofit has no profit to distribute, period. Any activity of the nonprofit that solely and completely benefits the members, directors, and so forth, is strictly prohibited. For profit corporations may distribute their profit, net earnings, as provided by law and their charters. Non-profits may not be run solely for the purposes of supplying money for the personal upkeep and use of their board or directors. It is as simple as that.]

Since Mr. Most was obviously unaware of why corporations are formed to begin with - the proviso for what are called “shareholder distributions” - he obviously was unable to comprehend that said “shareholder distributions” are what are forbidden in nonprofit organizations - NOT salaries or research grants or making money! He also was unable to read the words “net earnings” and understand that nonprofit corporations - just like any other corporation - are allowed to pay bills for contracted services, such as management.
[True, and if the salaries and research grants went to someone other than those running the organization, then she might have a point. However, until they actually supply someone with an accounting of how much money was taken in, where it was spent, and who received it, then such comments as she makes above are simply an avoidance tactic.]

He also did not read the wording of our raffle rules very carefully or he would have realized that they were, indeed, carefully written with legal advice and that all of his nonsense was exactly that - the ravings of an itinerant grifter who obviously had never achieved enough economic success to have been exposed to corporate business affairs. Nevertheless, based on his “research,” and the wrong assumption made in his statement about us that we had “transferred ownership of the house and then used the money for their personal debts … This is a rather serious felony.” Actually became an act of libel on HIS part.
The fact is, everything was covered by contracts and legal paperwork and we generally file about 50 pages a year in income tax returns.
[We did indeed read the rules of the raffle very carefully. They were a fine piece of standard boilerplate legalese copy-pasted off the Internet. If Laura had indeed gone to a lawyer, they would have explained the many problems with the scheme. Any lawyer in Florida would have told them that they were heading for serious trouble with the IRS over their nonprofit status and the basic concept of the raffle itself. And if there are as she says “contracts and legal paperwork,” then fine, why not post them and prove us wrong? Why make vicious ad hominem attacks if you can simply prove your point beyond contention?]
Why indeed?* Note - Today, August 18th, 2003, Laura added the following comments in red to her “explanation” above:Not only are nonprofit corporations entitled to function as a legal entity in other ways, many of them (including Perseus Foundation) have the following articles included in their incorporation papers:

ARTICLE VI. POWERS The powers of the Corporation shall be provided in the bylaws of the Corporation in accordance with Chapter 617, Florida Statutes with the following limitations within the meaning of 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code, as may be amended: 1. No part of the net earnings of the Corporation shall inure to the benefit of, or be distributed to its members, directors, officers or other private interests. However, the Corporation shall be authorized and empowered to pay a reasonable flat salary for services rendered by its employees and to make payments and other distributions in furtherance of the purposes set forth in Article IV. The terms nonprofit or not for profit, as a type of corporation, do not preclude these entities from engaging in a profit making business either directly or via a contract with another, for-profit corporation. In fact a nonprofit corporation is not necessarily a charitable corporation or one that is tax exempt. They are quite simply corporations that may not distribute their income to a member, director or officer other than as provided by law.

Since Mr. Most was obviously unaware of why corporations are formed to begin with - the proviso for what are called “shareholder distributions” - he obviously was unable to comprehend that said “shareholder distributions” are what are forbidden in nonprofit organizations - NOT salaries or research grants or making money! He also was unable to read the words “net earnings” and understand that nonprofit corporations - just like any other corporation - are allowed to pay bills for contracted services, such as management. There have been many cases reported where a famous charitable organization’s annual report shows that only 7 cents on the dollar actually goes to the stated purpose of the “charity.” This may seem to be immoral, but it is certainly legal.[This is beside the point. How much of the money they raise actually went to their declared charitable purpose is NOT the issue we are raising. We would like to know those percentages, of course, but the point is how was the money from the raffle distributed. More avoidance tactics...] In the case of our own foundation, as it happens, the major portion of the funds went for the purpose stated in the Articles of Incorporation:To engage in research in the varied scientific and socio-cultural fields seeking solutions to the fundamental sufferings and limitations of humanity; to disseminate the findings and results of said research to the public by means of, though not limited to, publications, lectures and seminars; and to further and promote such research and dissemination.[We do indeed wonder how campaigns of systematic harassment, libel and character assassination fit into that mission statement, but we will gladly leave that to the IRS to determine. Note that even though we have here a snippet of what is supposed to be the charter of the Perseus Foundation, we still don't find any meaningful information concerning payment of directors, salaries for workers, and so on. More avoidance...]Maynerd Most also did not read the wording of our raffle rules very carefully or he would have realized that they were, indeed, carefully written with legal advice and that all of his nonsense was exactly that - nonsense - the ravings of an itinerant grifter who obviously had never achieved enough economic success to have been exposed to corporate business affairs.

Nevertheless, based on his “research,” - wherein he clearly did not understand the legal wording - added to his erroneous assumptions, made without any justification whatsoever, that we had “transferred ownership of the house and then used the money for their personal debts … This is a rather serious felony.” Actually became an act of libel on HIS part. Because, quite simply, it is a lie. A published lie is, by definition, libel.[In March, when that query was posted to a private email group, it did appear that the Perseus Foundation was about to end up with title to the house, after paying Laura for it. As anyone who examines publication 1717 of the IRS will discover, this would have constituted a serious break of article VI, as they noted above. They would in fact have been just transferring title between the owners of the house, Laura, and the owners of the Foundations, again Laura and Ark. If they simply were paid by the Perseus Foundation for their house, which they then gave to the winner of the raffle, it would still have a very questionable action. In actual fact, as Laura admits below, they failed to transfer title at all, and simply took the money from the raffle and moved to France.]

The fact is, everything was covered by contracts and legal paperwork and we generally file about 50 pages a year in income tax returns for two corporations as well as our personal income taxes. I doubted that Maynerd had ever made enough money legally to file even the EZ form. Since Perseus Foundation was managed, by contract, by Jadczyk Consulting, a for-profit corporation, the details of that management - which are taxable, and on which taxes ARE paid - are NOT subject to public scrutiny.[So now we hear, for the very first time, that Jadczyk Consulting was paid to manage the Perseus Foundation. The Perseus Foundation must report how much they paid Jadczyk Consulting for managing the Foundation, however. And they must demonstrate that paying Jadczyk Consulting to run was not also in violation of article VI above. And why would the Foundation pay Jadczyk Consulting's moving expenses? This is hard not see as just another way to avoid the issue. Sort of like, "yes we took the money, but we actually earned it."]

Again, I thought to myself that it would serve Maynerd Most well to do something legally once in awhile so that he might be exposed to attorneys and accountants and the IRS long forms. He might learn something and therefore not make such a fool of himself in the eyes of people who DO manage their affairs within the legal parameters of the “capitalist system.” [This is simply more snide attacks. A fake raffle, see below, and a suspiciously vague nonprofit organization is somehow "within the legal parameters of the 'capitalist system.' " Yeah right, tell it to the judge...]

Even though I well knew that the only people who even gave two minutes attention to the rantings of this grifter were others like him - trapped in the lower socio-economic bracket with limited education and awareness of how large sums of money are managed, it still bothered me because of one simple fact: these same kinds of people, in their ignorance, are so easily manipulated by lies and rumors and it can take a lot of energy away from important projects to deal with them. [The only project the Perseus Foundation seems to be engaged in is an ongoing war with those Laura identifies, via the ouiji board, as Jewish Organic Portal non-human un-souled psychopaths, up to and including world figures. The comment about "limited education and awareness of how large sums of money are managed" is quite revealing: Laura did not even graduate from high school, and her only experience with any sums of money has come from her various scams. Remember, this is the woman who stole her own mother's winning lottery ticket. She is completely shameless.]

Of course, I realized that this was, ultimately, Maynerd Most’s agenda: to waste our time and energy. And again, I thought bitterly that if we were a “real cult” we would certainly have a stable of attorneys to put Most in Jail for his many crimes that we have documented on this site.[Somehow a single mistake in a several year-old bio blurb on someone else's website is now a crime? Unbelievable, simply incredible... That Laura could make such a statement, against all evidence, is perhaps the most psychopathic comment of all.] **

What was even more ironic was the fact that, later, Most publicly libeled us yet again by publishing a declaration that we had “stolen 150,000.00 from Perseus Foundation” in order to flee to France! Aside from the fact that we keep every slip of paper, stacks of records and documentation that proves otherwise, the bitterest part of this truly ugly lie is that we lost our shirts on the raffle. And then, after making special arrangements to see that the purposes of the raffle were carried out anyway - using our own money and assets to ensure this - after we had left, since we were out of contact for about three months, we didn’t even learn that all our instructions were ignored, and manipulations began among those left in charge of the matter in their efforts to line their own pockets at our expense.[And here it comes, the true psychopathic reversal. Laura is in effect saying here: "Yep, we did it, but those evil Jewish OP psychopaths that we left in charge are to blame, really..." Let's look at this closely. They say that they keep all the paperwork, but they have yet to reveal any of it. And still, even here, there is no mentioned of who won the raffle. Basically, she is admitting that the raffle was never held. There can be no other reason why she still refuses to publish the name of the winner. They say they lost money, yet they had at least $50,000 available to them for the move, according to Laura's own accounts. They say that they arranged to have the terms of the raffle carried out, whatever that means other than they arranged to have the house sold so that they could profit from the same scam twice. But their instructions were ignored, and those evil people they left in charge stole the money, not them. One has to wonder just who she thinks she is kidding? The duped minions might not blink an eye, but to any objective observer this is just plain nuts. She admits they stole the money; she admits they never had a raffle, a winner and certainly never transferred ownership of the house. Even if they convince the IRS that Jadczyk Consulting wasn't a conflict of interest for Perseus Foundation, they are still guilty of running a fraudulent gambling operation. Either way, it comes out felonies...]

Still Following The Money

In the last few weeks of January 2003 and the first week of February, the Jadczyks withdrew a large sum of money in small increments, so as not alert the IRS, as well as a large bank draught supposedly for the sale of the house. However, the house was never sold, to the Perseus Foundation or anyone else. It remains to this day in Laura Knight Martin’s name, and is listed as such in the Pasco County Tax listings. As of July 2003, the house was still for sale by owner, and shown by appointment by the person apparently legally in charge of selling the house, one Barry Tarr. Mr. Tarr, who was apparently living in the house between showing it to buyers, is a long time Cassiopaean cult member and at a one time a member of the board of directors of the Perseus Foundation.

So, if they didn’t pay off the mortgage on the house and transfer title to it to either the new owner, the mysterious winner of the raffle, or to the Perseus Foundation, then what happened to the money?

From Laura’s accounts in the French Connection, we can see where they spent roughly $50,000 on the move. That is perhaps half the money they stole with the raffle scam. So where is the rest? Could they have spent every dime on getting there? If that’s the case, where did the money come from for the luxury trip to the Riviera in June? And the down payment on the Chateau outside Bordeaux, where was that supposed to come from?

And how did they get the money into France? The laws on currency smuggling and money laundering are quite strict. Did they report their wad of cash when they left the US? Did they report it when they entered France? Did they really believe they could just plunk down cash for a Chateau without the French authorities raising an eyebrow?

Apparently so…[**Update: Laura has responded twice, as shown above and has yet to present any evidence that contradicts our accusations. She has not posted any information concerning the financial situation of the Perseus Foundation, or even its letter of authorization as a 501 c 3 nonprofit organization. She has presented no evidence on how much money was raised by the Perseus Foundation during the raffle, how such funds were distributed, how much Jadczyk Consulting was paid to "manage" the Foundation, or any other such information that must, as a matter of federal law, be publicly available for inspection. [But she has admitted, see above, that they stole the money, failed to hold the raffle or give the house away and kept the money, and they arranged to have the house sold so that a "winner" could be declared. But since the house was never sold, there is in fact no "winner" to declare. At that this point, Laura's last desperate tactic is to blame those she left in charge of the scam in Florida in true florid, create your own reality, psychopathic fashion.[Note also that none of the accusations, including specific dates and events, have actually been denied by Laura. Her attempts to shift the blame, and obscure the point, have totally failed to answer any of the charges. We must conclude, given the opportunity she has had to prove us wrong, that our charges are at least 90% accurate. Only an official investigation will be able to fill in all the details. But with Laura current admissions, the pattern of fraud, deception and dissimulation is now obvious to all.]

As The Cult Crumbles: The French Catastrophe

The relocation to France was a glorious adventure when the first installment of the French Connection went up on March 8, 2003. Here’s what Laura had to say, and note that is still the only comments they have ever made directly concerning the house raffle scam:
The Quantum Future School is now established in France! And what an adventure the past month has been! I am writing from our new home in the south of France - Glorious Gascony!

As many of you might have guessed, on the day we drew the winning ticket for the house raffle, we technically no longer had a home. We had five days in which to pack and move out so as to hand the house over to the new owner. Suffice it to say that, in the weeks prior to the drawing, we were very busy in the search for a new home for both our family and the Quantum Future School. As is usual in anything we do by following the clues and hints of the Cassiopaeans, things work out in miraculous ways.

Due to the many requests from readers who wrote to say they wanted to participate in the raffle, but that “right after Christmas” was not a good time for them financially, we extended the raffle twice to allow as many to participate as possible. In the end, all of the tickets were not utilized, but there were sufficient donations made for the Foundation to purchase the house from us at a figure that was equivalent to what we would have made selling it on the market. This was a good thing since the real estate market is not what it could be, and had we just put it up for sale, we could have waited a year to get anywhere near our asking price.

However, that does not mean that we were unable to provide for the Quantum Future School! As hinted above, things work in marvelous and mysterious ways when we follow the clues with an open mind and courage. So, let me tell the amazing story of how we got here, how everything worked out in mysterious ways, providing us with a marvelous ancient Gascony Farmhouse - renovated with all conveniences - with 14 wonderful rooms, as well as a home for the Quantum Future School!

Sounds lovely doesn’t it? Sounds too good to be true, actually. And, of course, it isn’t true…

As the evidence from those who purchased “raffle tickets” proves, there were no “raffle tickets” and most likely nothing whatsoever to choose. Certainly not a winning ticket. As one person put it, “they simply cashed my check and disappeared.”

The raffle was postponed, as noted above, to allow for more “tickets” to be sold. That is, time to take in more money. Why? Because they did not have enough money to actually pay off the mortgage, so that they could legally give the house away. By the end of January, with the move to France upon them, the situation looked bleak. Apparently, they had to be settled in France by early March, 2003, before the Iraqi war began. Perhaps they were motivated by fervent anti-Americanism, as Laura suggests in the French Connection, and guided by the semi-omniscient Cassiopaeans, or just perhaps there were other reasons.

At any rate, they were set to leave, and the money just wasn’t there to pull off the original plan. A large chunk of the money they had raised came from a couple of major contributors, at least one of which lived in France. Perhaps they were, in effect, being paid to move and the raffle was just a way to disguise the transaction.

Also, with the exact status of the Perseus Foundation in question, the whole raffle was only vaguely legal. If they gave the house away, they stood to be in as much trouble with the IRS as they would if they just took the money and disappeared. At that point it was really no choice at all. They took what money they had collected, tried to make the raffle go away with a few breezy pathological lies, see the comments above, and settled in enjoy their escape to France.The “mysterious ways” Laura mentioned, which provided them “with a marvelous ancient Gascony Farmhouse - renovated with all conveniences - with 14 wonderful rooms, as well as a home for the Quantum Future School!” appears to the Bogdanov brothers. Who may have been one of their major contributors tot he house raffle scam. On March 29th, 2003, Laura threw this intriguing comment into her musings: “As I mentioned, the Bogdanov Brothers, via their network of contacts, found the perfect house for us and Pierre-Paul made a visit to take photographs so we would have some idea of what the place looked like.”

Later in that article, she goes on to say: “We signed all the necessary papers for the attorney handling the transfer of the house, gave him the keys, and drove away…” Perhaps they did sign a power of attorney, perhaps to Barry Tarr, who is certainly no attorney, for the purpose of selling their house, but that’s not what she says happened. Laura has always lived in a fantasy world, depending ultimately on the kindness of strangers.

The next installment of the French Connection appeared on April 1st, 2003, and ends with their arrival in Paris. When that installment was posted, they had been in France for six weeks. A silence on the subject ensued, until, on July 24th, 2003, Laura posted another photo tour that ended with views of their new home, the “marvelous” farmhouse in Gers. But all was not well in the French Cassiopaean paradise.

A week later, July 31st, 2003, Laura posted the next installment, in which her landlord is libeled, and labeled a psychopath, in no uncertain terms. To those who have had to deal with her directly, this is an unmistakable sign that Laura has been challenged. When denied what she feels is rightfully hers, she comes out swinging. If she is claiming the landlord is a psychopath, then the landlord must be standing up to Laura. And as we read through the next few, ever more disjointed installments, we found that is just the case. The landlord apparently wanted them to be quiet, sober, industrious, normal in other words. What he got was something else again.

Instead of 14 rooms, they found that they had only the rear apartment. And soon after they settled, others arrived to live with them. At present there are 13 people living on the farm. They include Henry See, Joe Quinn, Scott Ogrin, Mark Edwards, Sam Montgomery and others as well as the inner family itself. With this in mind, it easy to see why the landlord was so upset: having a commune in the back apartment is not a good way to please the tourists renting the front two apartments.

And so, in the last week of July, he told them that they must leave, that they had broken the lease, destroyed his property and threatened his livelihood. They must vacate the premises immediately, as soon they possibly could, in fact. This was the spur for the Chateau hunt, see Castleopaea for a glimpse of that fantasy.

But that next miracle just doesn’t seem to be happening. Rumors are flying inside the cult that Ark has left, gone to Marseilles to work, or back to Poland, or perhaps just off laundering the remaining undeclared cash so that they can buy their Chateau. At any rate, Dr. Ark seems to be well and truly gone, leaving the complex menagerie on the farm in Gers to fend for itself. If he is as smart as he claims, he is already back in Poland, getting exorcised by the Church and begging his wife Anna to take him back.

And the rest of the cult’s Internet support is crumbling as well. This website is not going away, and, as seen above, the recognition of their cultic status is growing. The libelous article at www.universalseduction.com has been taken down finally, and their major supporter, Tom of montalk.net, has recently been banished for asking too many inconvenient questions, some of them the ones we have disclosed on this site.
Laura has reason to worry about her children, stuck in France in the middle of this nightmare from no fault of their own. She faces at least three felonies, mail fraud, tax fraud and illegal gambling/racketeering (RICCO), if she returns to the US, and those felonies are serious enough that she might even be arrested and extradited from France. She might also have broken French laws and therefore be liable for jail time in France, which has very strict currency and anti-cult laws.

At the moment, a group of at least thirteen true believers, including several innocent children, are squatting on a rented farm in southwest France, with no money and perhaps no legal way to spend the money they have, watching their carefully laid plans for the cult of the new millennium crumble to ashes before their eyes. Laura is no doubt planning a sudden flight back to states, probably for health reasons, but this is a route that should be carefully thought out. Flight at this point would undoubtedly be seen as an admission of guilt.

The evidence presented above, including statements from participants, witnesses, tax records, bank records and so on, have been forwarded to the state, federal and international agencies concerned. As their investigation goes forward, they will want to talk to the following individuals implicated, in various ways, in the house raffle scam:
Laura Knight Jadczyk
Dr. Ark Jadczyk
Terry and Jan Rodemerk
Barry Tarr

(These are the last known board members of the Perseus Foundation, and those most directly responsible for the conduct of the organization. Please note, that given Laura’s comments above, these are the people she will try to blame for the “lost” money. For anyone directly involved in the scam, your best bet, what you may need most, is a way to turn state’s evidence. You can start by calling the hot-line number below.)

Also, these are the people, other than Laura and Ark, known to be living at the cult’s commune in France:
Henry See
Joe Quinn,
Scott Ogrin,
Mark Edwards,
Sam Montgomery
Karen Sheppard
Jason Martin
Amy Martin
Ariel Martin

(There are other unidentified people living there, perhaps including Ignacious O’Reilly, if that isn’t a fake name.)

Update 8/19/2003: Laura Knight-Jadczyk Admits Fraud in Perseus Foundation House Raffle
August 19th, 2003
“And then, after making special arrangements to see that the purposes of the raffle were carried out anyway - using our own money and assets to ensure this - after we had left, since we were out of contact for about three months, we didn’t even learn that all our instructions were ignored, and manipulations began among those left in charge of the matter in their efforts to line their own pockets at our expense.”
Laura Knight-Jadczyk, August 18th, 2003, in French Connection 13.

Between October 20002 and January 2003, Laura Knight-Jadczyk, leader of the Cassiopaean Channeling Cult, see www.cassiopaea.org, and her husband, the Polish physicist Dr. Ark Jadczyk, conducted a raffle sponsored by their semi-legal educational foundation, The Perseus Foundation. The Foundation, which has never filed the necessary documents to attain an official 501-c-3 status, was managed by Jadczyk Consulting, Dr Jadczyk’s for profit business, during the period of the raffle and the house being raffled belonged to his wife, Laura Knight-Jadczyk, a clear conflict of interest under the federal requirements for 501-c-3 non profit corporations. The raffle generated between $100,000 and $150,000, which disappeared into the coffers of the Perseus Foundation. No winner was ever declared, no raffle was ever held in other words, and the house at 6322 Montana Avenue, New Port Richey, Florida, remains in Ms. Knight Jadczyk’s name. She is currently attempting to sell the residence, apparently planning to profit twice on the same fraud.

In response to over a month of articles and emails requests from the website www.cassiopaea.net for the Jadczyk’s and/or the Perseus Foundation to at least publish the details of the raffle, such as the name of the winner, the Jadczyks admitted yesterday that the raffle never occurred as previously stated in various sections of the French Connection. Ms. Jadczyk, in the quote cited above, admits that they failed to pay off the mortgage on the house being raffled and simply left the country with the money. They are currently living in France, where they run a new age school, The Quantum Future Academy, and manage their website and its news page, Signs of the Times.

Then, of course, there was the simplest explanation. What if Laura was a victim of some psychosis?

This was a possibility Laura repeatedly raised herself.

“Sometimes I think I’m losing my mind,” she said to me. “Is this what being mad is like? Because, you know, some really crazy people can really seem sane.”From The Exorcist in Love, by Tom French (c) 2000 St. Pete Times

I further believe that the Cassiopaeans’ analysis begins to explore some of the deeper, core issues at play. Are the Cassiopaeans correct in every last jot and tittle of what they say? I very strongly doubt it. But the value I see in the issues they raise is that they raise the issues to begin with. Precious few people are even talking about most of the things the Cassiopaeans discuss.

“The Cassiopaeans (whoever or whatever they really are) may be part of a cosmic (or not so cosmic) intelligence plan that is fiendishly insidious and devious — or they may equally be, as they say, a benevolent force who intend to lend a helping hand to a troubled planet, populated by a severely, violently dysfunctional species (Earth humans). I hope it is the latter, but I cannot categorically exclude the former, if the stakes are as high as the Cassiopaeans allege that they are.

“As I understand it, the Cassiopaeans allege that Earth is a crucial battlefield in a mighty war that has raged across the galaxy, covering vast stretches of time and space and consciousness. The current Earth scene, according to them, has actors both seen and unseen, known and unknown, and overlapping levels of strategy and mighty political and spiritual agendas with tremendous implications for the human race and planet Earth and many other beings and planets elsewhere in the galaxy, and even in other dimensions.” Dr. Richard Sauder Event Horizon: Incoming and Fast! http://www.rense.com/general38/eventhorizon.htm

“It seems to me,” she said one day, “that there are two main types of people. There are predators, and there are prey.”

She asked the Cs about why she felt so alone and frustrated. They told her that she was carrying anger about many things from the past, not just things related to Lewis, but to the Lizzies and her childhood abductions.

At one point, she went to see a psychiatrist. Afterward, she told me what had happened. She had given the psychiatrist her life history, told him about the face at window and the other disturbing childhood episodes. She said that he had suggested she consider the possibility that she was traumatized as a child. She did not agree; she said her recollections of the incidents were too vivid and real for her to have imagined them. Laura pressed the doctor for help. What should she do? How was she supposed to handle these memories that haunted her? He said she should try to stop thinking about them, learn to cordon off those areas of her mind. Laura didn’t think it was possible. How could she cordon off something so important?

Laura went to see the psychiatrist only a few times. She said he’d told her she was healthy and did not need to come back.

The weeks passed, and her grief seemed to be growing. She wondered aloud if perhaps “dark forces” were punishing her for daring to see them and talk about them. She quoted ominous passages from the Bible, going on about Eve eating the apple from the tree of knowledge and her eyes filling with tears from “the bittersweet flood of knowing.” And she was sending me e-mails that sounded like they came from the Bible, too.
From The Exorcist in Love, by Tom French (c) 2000 St. Pete Times

Laura was a disturbed child with a dysfunctional home life, such as a kidnapping by her stepfather at age four, suicide attempts and other self-destructive behavior, who grew into a disturbed adult, plagued by hypochondria and often unsure exactly who fathered each of her five children, and who in the end divorced her first husband because she believed he was a reptoid zombie. The Cassiopaeanists can be considered a form of scientific/materialist fundamentalism with spiritualist leanings. All “Knowledge” of value comes through the Cassiopaeans, as interpreted by Laura Knight-Jadcyzk with no dissent and no alternative interpretations allowed. Totalism, pure and simple… Their newfound radicalism grew out of old habits, such as Dr. Ark’s anti-Semitism and Ms. Knight-Martin-Jadcyzk’s narcissistic persecution complexes, projected outward onto a global stage… It found an audience, hiding its deeply flawed assumptions beneath a veneer of anti-Americanism and radicalism that appeal to many in this turbulent era. The Cassiopaeans offer a way to make sense of complex problems, a way to throw the blame for one’s shortcomings on to those evil “psychopaths” in charge of everyone’s life. And of course, there is no way to beat these evil aliens, except to read and study the teachings of the Cassiopaeans. Compiled by Dee Finney http://www.greatdreams.com/ufos/ufo-cults.htm
