Zetatalk and TT Origins

As already explained Nancy teamed up with Ron Darby to initialise the start of Zetatalk and TT. Shortly after Nancy bought the property in Wisconsin and Ron moved in as a guest to begin work on the various TT-Inc projects.

 

Ron Darby incident

Ron Darby, close friend to Nancy, former Internal Auditor of the TT-INC, then Treasurer, deposed in 1999 and later replaced by Nancy’s new favourite Jan Rypdal.

 

“Some of you have been around long enough to recall that I have frequently stated that my involvement with ZetaTalk was strictly by means of consciously “suspension of disbelief.” Nancy has always known this and it has frequently caused conflict between us. It wasn’t until I was living and working in Wisconsin that I slipped into a “true believer.”
 
Ron Darby.”

 

Rather than go into detail myself I thought it better to let Ron speak for himself:

 

“Why did I accept Nancy’s invitation to move to Wisconsin and live at her home? I wanted to work on an ambitious list of projects. It was also hinted that I would be made Project Manager for building her son’s patented Dome Project. That’s what really convinced me.

 
What happened was that once Nancy was in Wisconsin virtually all the TT projects I was most interested in were determined by Nancy to be too dangerous to do on her property for one reason or another. And the Dome project was so far from any sort of reality as to be many years, if ever, from a reality. In fact, it came to the point where Nancy forbade me from even talking to Kurt about the dome.


The first summer I cut trees cleaned flowerbeds and grew a seed garden. Mostly my work involved improving the property and preparing it for Nancy to move in. I was able to get the second seed garden, worm culture, hydroponics, and aquaculture projects going by the time I left. Mostly, I worked on the infrastructure – Nancy’s property.


I was extremely disappointed that at practically every turn when I wanted to work a project, Nancy had some reason it couldn’t be done there. Nancy and I had many harsh words on many occasions, which stemmed from this situation.


Toward the end of my stay there I had become quite depressed at not being able to actually work the projects I went there to do. My health insurance had run out. My car transmission was broken. There was increasingly less that needed doing. Nancy was expecting that when her husband came for Thanksgiving she would be able to convince him to stay. I had changed from an asset to a liability. She wanted me to move to Baraboo and get a job.


Her funds were almost exhausted and she could see the necessity of taking a job herself looming.

Besides 7 days a week of manual labor I was the “beneficiary” of dozens of impromptu, unsolicited and unpublished “ZetaTalk” directed specifically to me. I posted a portion of the last of these, which was so incredibly ludicrous. Ultimately, it was these “Begin ZetaTalk … End ZetaTalk” pages presented to me which lead me to conclude that I couldn’t trust any of it.

 

 The initial reason why I left was because I was kicked out. Oh, it was done in a slick way; but that’s what happened.


Within a couple weeks of arriving in Austin I was suicidal. In attempting to get help for that, I became convinced that I was an alcoholic and went into a treatment facility. I learned there that although I did abuse alcohol, I wasn’t alcoholic. I learned enough about it, though, that I don’t need it in my life again. What really was unexpected was that I was able to get totally away from all things ZetaTalk and away from the effects
of alcohol on my thinking. I had time and opportunity to finally start thinking rationally about the entire experience. This has continued since leaving treatment. I’ve realized a lot about my personal psyche and come to some conclusions regarding why the ZT message and the TT fraternity so attracted me.


 Ron Darby.

 

Below is a copy of the Zetatalk statement to Ron that led to his removal from both Nancy’s residence in Wisconsin and the Troubled Times Inc. His own comments can be found underneath each highlighted section.

Zeta Statement:

“Nancy has asked for an update on the situation, in light of her recent sense of urgency. Where she has recall of sessions with MJ12, shouting sessions with Ron, she is not aware of other ultimatums and decisions and is looking for the broader picture we might be able to supply. The whole picture, which we are aware of, is not something we can supply, but we will relay what we are able without breaching our agreements. Our view of what is occurring at present is a pissing contest between Ron and MJ12. In this Nancy and Kurt are caught in the middle, unable to do little except agonise. What is this pissing contest all about?

 

Beyond what we have relayed before, that MJ12 made a decision in early summer regarding the nonprofit being integral to nancy’s home where Zetatalk and Slide Lock are headquartered, and that Ron has resisted, almost entirely, ANY changes being made, there is nothing new to report. The contest has moved along however, with Ron firmly convinced he holds the winning cards. Ron views himself as integral to the nonprofit, an anchor and hub without which the nonprofit would not move forward. This view is heavily meshed with a need to have such a relationship, from a personal security standpoint, as much as it is from any benefit the noneprofit secures from his considerable experience and intelligence. In the past, in this lifetime, Ron’s experience with the military and CIA have shown him that a pit-bull approach when one is a key team member can result in sudden victory.”

 

Yes, I was in the USMC during Vietnam. With the exception of 12 years that I worked at the University of Mississippi School of Medicine, I've spent my entire career working with the military and CIA. However, this statement only reflects Nancy's unalterable view of the two. The entire notion of the pit-bull is entirely false and more likely to get one a court-martial. The Z's totally blew it here.

 

“Very seldom, if one is a vital member of the team, does the pit bull lose. He views himself as vital to the nonprofit, which he views as vital to the establishment hopes for civilian survival camps capable of providing a carry-on government with any kind of base whatsoever. In this he has misjudged.

 

Nancy is aware that the press for a media campagn has accelerated, and has taken steps to facilitate using the 30 minute documentary to be of a quality sufficient for major TV outlets. In that she seems to be focused on seed collection at the moment is a diversion, taking away her worry, as she can do little else to effect change in this pissing contest where she is caught in the gears but not at the controls. She has little sympathy for personal security concerns over the overall mission, however and her loyalties will go with an educational outreach, NOT a single individual’s personal concerns. She can be expected to cooperate with MJ12, not with Ron, a fact he has not yet fully grasped. Ron feels, because of his assistance to Nancy in the past and the loyalty most women in his life has shown him, that she will refuse to cooperate with MJ12 until he is comfortable.”

 

There have been 3 women in my life, and they all three abandoned me. Some loyalty ugh?

 

“This comfort includes welding her into any final outcome, so that the nonprofit, and he, can never be considered a separate entity from Zetatalk or Slide Lock.”

 

Notice the mention of Slide Lock. Recall, early on I was "banned" from any connection with Slide Lock, even though it was the lure that I would be made a Project Manager for Slide Lock that she used to help influence me to go to Wisconsin in the first place.

 

“He feels not only that he is vital to the establishment’s plans for civilian survival camps, but has a lock on Nancy’s loyalty. In this he has also misjudged.”

 

Lock on Nancy's loyalty? I don't think there was one entire day during my stay that we didn't have at least one shouting match. I couldn't count the number of times that I expected to be leaving the next day.

 

“Where MJ12’s requirement that the noneprofit’s exposure to the media NOT result in security problems at Nancy’s home first took the path of discussions in early summer, to a staring contest in mid-summer, to ultimatums now at end of summer, it has become clear to MJ12 that they are dealing not with an impossible situation but a single individual Ron, not the nonprofit structure, is viewed as the problem.

 

“In seeing Nancy’s devotion to Kurt, Ron has determined that being handicapped, so that abandonment of him would cause guilt, would be the way to ensure a continuing connection to Zetatalk and Slide Lock, and thus insurance of a personal role in a secure environment. Thus he has failed to get health insurance, misplacing papers and failing to take steps that he alone can take.”

 

I couldn't get health insurance because of "pre-existing conditions" and she totally understood that. The "misplaced papers" refers to the Tittle to my car, which was in my wife's name and which she had and would not transfer to me.

 

“Without insurance, he can injure himself on her premises and out of guilt, he would be allowed to stay, so he assumes. Thus he has failed to get his car registered, putting steps toward this end aside for a full 9 months, as this puts him into a position of having to use her cars.”

 

 I couldn't register my car because I couldn't get the Title transferred to my name. I eventually had to tow it from Wisconsin to Austin. Then it sat at my daughter's house until I eventually had the police tow it away as abandoned ... a perfect running Mercury Cougar with only 65,000 miles on it.

 

“He reasons that this forces MJ12 to supply security to nancy’s home, rather than create a separation between Nancy and the nonprofit, as Nancy would not refuse him a loaned car or van. Since all steps to create the environment MJ12 wants before an intense media campaign occurs have been taken, except for those steps Ron himself is required to do, MJ12 has come to decisions about Ron’s involvement in the nonprofit.”

 

 If any of you remembers the email at the time, Nancy portrayed herself as being surprised that I had decided to leave Wisconsin, suggesting that I set up an office in Baraboo. It's even in the TT Inc. Minutes and meeting log at the time and on the web for all to view.

 

“The nonprofit, to continue, needs funding, administrative skills, and volunteers. It has all of this without Ron, though all transactions are bumpy and he would be Missed. Funding will simply not be forethcoming unless MJ12’s wishes are fully met, but this would not be apparent to Ron until the noneprofit has become ashes, as MJ12 has come to realize.”

 

I still have the QuickBooks files of the Treasury as of the time that I left. Even though I suddenly and totally withdrew from all contact and association with the nonprofit, the record shows that the funding stopped anyway and has not resumed. This is also clearly reflected on the TT Inc. web site.

 

“Administration skills are available within the pool of responsible nonprofit members, and a bookkeeping service can replace a Treasurers skills for a fee.  The headquarters can likewise be no more than a rented office, even a service where a person answering service support many businesses.”

 

At the time I was presented with this, I was actively looking for office space for the Inc. in Baraboo, and a place in Baraboo for me to move to. I had been offered a job at Radio Shack which I was planning to accept.

 

“Many small businesses require such services and they exist likewise for a fee. The projects would also proceed without Ron, as they did before he arrived after having been distracted by his relationship with Mim.

I can't avoid blowing my own horn here, because it is fact. Before I arrived in Wisconsin, there were NO projects. While I was there I was able to accomplish some of the things I wanted to do. Reference:

Of particular note, not one of these has been updated since I left, although they are totally under Nancy's control, she is supposedly still working the first two and should be updating them with on-going current information. Of particular note is the last one. There have recently been several posts bemoaning the fact that no radio training is happening. I made a good start at it and left a clear logical structure at the radio topic for addition of continuing lessons. Not one word has been added. Even access to it is buried so deep that most people would never find it ... it took me a while and I knew where it was supposed to be. All the above are on the same web site as all of ZetaTalk, Troubled Times, and TT Inc.

“The noneprofit  would survive Ron’s loss, a fact MJ12 is solidly certain. Thus MJ12 which is primarily a military organisation, is faced with a stubborn man refusing to comply with their orders.”

 

This statement is so totally opposite my character and past extensive history that it is ludicrous. If I could be faulted for anything along these lines, it would be a tendency to blindly follow the orders of my superiors.

 

“This is a situation familiar enough to all involved so that the outcome is certain. A time frame of 30 days has been announced by September 20th, for Ron to fully comply with their expectations of him or suffer the consequences. These consequencies will not leave him able to recover, for some months or years, to the point where he can present a challenge again. In essence, they will take him out, promptly and firmly and in a manner that will NOT involve Nancy or Kurt in any guilt cycles.”

 

 Well, I did fully comply within a week by totally removing myself. It's interesting, however, that I did suffer circumstances from which I have not yet recovered. I don't believe that it had anything to do with any MJ12, though. I suffered from mental illness long before any contact with Nancy and her Z's and the supposed MJ12 connection. In addition, I very well could have chosen, once in Austin to actively oppose Nancy. I had become good friends of the person who controlled the funds of the Eula Dula Foundation ... the very one which was supposed to supply all that money, and which did supply so much money while I was in Wisconsin. I was supposed to make contact with this person, (he lives in Houston) once I got to Austin; but chose not to do so. Quite honestly, I suspect that is the reason why the money stopped. We actually were good friends and he was heavily relying upon me to advise him on his own preparations. Well, "they" didn't "take me out" ... I did so myself, and am so very glad I did. It wasn't easy to abandon a belief system which had so consumed every waking moment for almost two years; but the longer and further I was away from it, the easier it was to see that which I didn't want to see before.

 

“Guilt manipulation, or seeming pathetic, will not work in the outcome that has been presented to Ron, else he would not be complying at all with their expectations as he has been in part on the need to register his car”.

 

She really was hung up on that car registration and was in total denial of the fact that there wasn't a damn thing I could do about it.

 

“The outcome is not something we can discuss. We can relay that it would be something Ron could not resist, could fight, and would in essence be a tidal wave of forces and factors that would devastate him on many fronts. The forces and factors would be so far removed from Nancy and Kurt that they would under no circumstances be considered abandoning Ron or being anything but his friend. He would however, cease to be a factor in the forward thrust MJ12 is busy designing. In this. He would have no one but himself to blame, as he has been a party to all discussions, had many warnings, and has, as with Ichi and Clipper, been arrogant in his view that he could not be removed and could not control Nancy’s actions. Pride goeth before a fall, and history repeats itself.”

 

There are two things here. First, one has to recall discussions and warnings to act upon them. I never had any recall of anything remotely resembling contacts with anyone or anything outside my daily work. The second thing I would point out is the mention of Clipper. If Clipper only know what she really thought about him, I wonder how loyal he would remain. He's been told some ... I told him long ago. Ever since he brought his family for a visit and resisted the stupid way Nancy wanted him to fix the cottage door, she was convinced that he was out to take control of the Inc. I would bet the little cash I own that she feels the same now as then. (Clipper, ex Vice President Elect, is owner and moderator of some of the tt-groups.)

 

Dome Projects

“Reading ZT or looking at the web site for Kurt's dome one gets the impression that much more has been accomplished than actually has.  When I was first there Nancy was happy for me to work with Kurt.  I accompanied Kurt to visit the only potential manufacturing company to learn of their process and what would be required from Kurt and to get ball-park pricing.  Kurt's patent is limited to a variation of a "dove-tail" joint for interconnecting two panels.  When I arrived Kurt had two prototype panels for the purpose of demonstrating the interlocking mechanism.  The panels were flat instead of curved as would be required.  The molding of these panels was done with rubber molds which could not meet the exacting tolerances required.  These two panels would NOT slide together.  To achieve the required tolerances would require two aluminum molds which cost about $8000 per mold; and two molds would be required for every horizontal "layer" of the dome.  The panels are 1 foot square, so you can see that a pair of molds would be required for every foot of circumference divided by two.  This places the cost of even a very small prototype in the millions of dollars.


 I pointed out that absolutely no structural calculations had been done and the cost to accomplish this was never determined.  I pointed out that even after structural modeling had been done mathematically, test panels would be required for destructive testing to ensure the structure wouldn't collapse of it's own weight.


After our visit to the manufacturer Kurt spent the better part of a year doing nothing but structural drawings (drafting).  Usually late at night while smoking Kurt and I would brainstorm.  The next day he would bring the results to his mom.  Then the shit would hit the fan.  She didn't want me corrupting Kurt's "creativity" with my silly engineering concerns.  That's when she first told Kurt not to talk to me about the dome.


When Ichi came he said he had much money and would finance a prototype dome.  Nancy was ecstatic and did everything she could to encourage Ichi ... even to offering to give him a piece of her property to build his personal dome.

 

The problem that Nancy couldn't control was that she always went to bed around 7pm and Kurt, Ichi, and I would sit in the basement all night talking about the dome among other things.  As Ichi learned of my concerns and realized the real costs involved he realized that he didn't have but a small fraction of the cost of a prototype ... and with Nancy's "shortcuts" that the dome wouldn't likely even work.  I felt it my "duty" to at least inform Ichi of my concerns and what I did know.  Eventually, Ichi told Nancy he couldn't afford the prototype.  At this point Nancy could no longer deny or ignore the fundamental costs of just the moulds.


 Then Kurt and I brainstormed up to the day I left (behind Nancy's back) about ideas to modify the design to make it more producible.  There were many times that Kurt really liked and wanted to incorporate my ideas but when Nancy learned the source she vetoed them.  A couple months before I left any real work on the design had been discontinued and Kurt spent his time doing the only thing that he really know how to do, which was to use an old satellite dish as the platform to construct a model so photos could be produced and the floor plan could be shown.”
