I knew a little about new age fraud and cultural appropriation, but Bennie LeBeau/Blue Thunder's recent activities in the Pacific Northwest have me fired up. Now that I'm actively reading and learning I see new age fraud most everywhere. Doing what I can to learn and help pass on the word, especially to other non-indigenous folks.
I notice that some people get really really defensive and angry when questioned about their participation in rip-off groups. Reminds me of dysfunctional family and cult group dynamics. Members see anyone who dares question as the enemy.
Grateful for this site and forum, learning a lot, thank you.
