what happened with fulford and the 48 hour ultimatum??

i like to think that jeff rense plans to follow-up on (or with) fulford within a week or two. then again, i know better than to anticipate such things. and, with each passing day, as i mull the fulford material further and masticate on its meaning for me personally, i'm left feeling increasingly suspicious about this communication overall.

who was it who said "all communication is political"? to put it another way, as i pull away from the content of fulford's communication, i get a better glimpse of the form it's packaged in. what might that be? well let's see: a string of sudden interviews and articles making a big audible splash on one of the most popular fringe conspiracy sites in town, each making tremendous claims, punctuated by a personal gunslinging promise made by benjamin himself on behalf of his invisible 6 million person worldwide army....

the form, in short, is larger than life: it is the stuff of high drama, with easily identifiable enemies and a simplistic plot-line that seems to preempt critical thinking, and reward a simplistic either/or, all-or-nothing interpretation, serving, whether intentionally or not, to shut down individual thinking, and with it, free-will.

further, i think that the form is irresponsible, to the extent that it is not followed-up upon with any kind of regularity of reflection, and regular feedback between the bestowers of this strange dialogue, namely, jeff rense and benjamin fulford.

i'm left feeling this communication to be wanting on the form-side of things (not to mention somewhat histrionic and strangely theatrical), and somewhat incredible and simplistic on the content-side.

this kind of personal critical analysis helps me regain my sense of a healthy individual perspective of uncertainty before fulford's epic presentation, while waiting to see what, if anything, rense communicates further. i will be paying close attention if there is another installment to see if it feels like more bait to keep me hanging on for more still. if so, my suspicion will harden into distrust.

in the meantime, i've noticed that the second-to-last entry on fulford's private home page is both a dead link and a lousy title for anything. i'm ready to call his bluff for such apparent carelessness alone. but not quite....

regardless...whether the fulford story bears any truth or not, i do appreciate the chance to use this emerging material as a chance to ongoingly exercise my own critical thinking in service to the preservation of free-will.
