I received the following email containing some info on some 2012-related people. The email originated with a poster at New Age Frauds & Plastic Shamans. I have redacted parts of the email for privacy.
We've just been made aware of a new shame-on, a lady by the name of Kiesha
Crowther. She offers the usual story and ceremonies (including crystals), she
claims her mother was ndn, so she's got elders from the „Salish Sioux“ (ahem!)
who made her a shaman (quite unlikely as the lady is a mere 30 years of age),
and of course she's got a real ndn name (TM): Little Grandmother, or, as she
translates this: Ci'Kala Uci' (both words are Lakota, or close, but the word
order is wrong…).
When I researched Crowther, I saw she also founded her own tribe, the Tribe of
Many Colors which seems to be run similar to a cult. There is a site
maintained for Crowther by some of her followers at:
http://www.tribeofmanycolors.net/kiesha/kiesha-crowther.html . The site is
translated into nine languages by followers of Crowther, and Crowther has done
events in several European countries.
Looking at the site and into the site's forum, I realized that Crowther also
happens to be into 2012 big time. In the forum, followers throw around the
names of several big figures, like Calleman and even David Icke (yeccchhhh).
Crowther apparently also cooperates/supports an alleged Maya High Priest (of
course) by the name of Alejandro Oxlaj aka Alejandro Perez Oxlaj aka Alejandro
Cirilo Perez Oxlaj.
Perez Oxlaj's name led me to the site „Shift of the Ages“ -
http://www.shiftoftheages.com/ - which seems a cooperation project of Steven
Copeland (writer, director, producer), Elizabeth Araujo (executive producer –
and Perez Oxlaj's wife), Joseph Giove (exec. Producer), and Kleomichele Leeds
(exec. Producer).
Their site is impressive – it must be, because they're all in for your money!
There is an Ambassador Program, and you can become a Community Ambassador, a
National Amb., a Planetary Amb., and even a Galactic Amb. - the latter means
you're expected to cough up money in the ranks of „4 to 6 digits“. The SOTA
crew, or rather Copeland, does films and they also seem to organize events
with Senor Perez Oxlaj.
While researching these people, I also saw that Carl Calleman seems to have a
new follower in Slovenia (Crowther plans to do events in this country in
Oct/Nov 2010), an associate professor by the name of Dr.Tadere Jere Lazanski.
The doctorate sounds somewhat impressive until you learn that she's ass. prof.
in touristic studies, so as far as Maya calendars are concerned, she speaks
with as much authority than me or the next person.
I felt a bit overwhelmed at this stage of my research and it's also not my
regular kettle of fish – but you might be more interested in debunking them.
I'm sorry, and I definitely don't want to come across rude and just throwing
work at you. But to get into the matter in due depth, I'd have to do a lot of
reading first.
Crowther seems to have started her shame-on business only two years ago, but
doing a google research for her name will present you with more than 92,000
entries – and another 3,000 if you misspell her first name as 'Keisha' which I
just did. So her name seems to be traded around quite a bit among the 2012
crowd and she seems to gain popularity. Which I find a case of concern given
the totalitarian cult-like characteristics of her fake tribe (and after having
read a few posts in that forum - „can you help, I'm seeing blue lights“ - „so
do I, they're angels meaning to tell you something“…)
The NAFPS thread on Crowther pls find at:
http://www.newagefraud.org/smf/index.php?topic=2871.0 .
Again, I hope for your understanding that I just toss these names at you and
leave you to do the work :blush:, but I'm already quite busy in real life and
with two internet projects on debunking frauds. But if there ever is a German
language site you might want to have more detailed info on, I'll be happy to
translate (I'm a German citizen).
Best regards,
