A few days ago I got a call from Gard Jameson, who was concerned that the [[Urantia Foundation]] had received a "Cease and Desist Order" from a follower of [[Ron Besser]], some dude from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poughkeepsie,_New_York Poughkeepsie], no less (I don't have his name), who was using '''''[[2014-07-14-MM and UB2 Projects|the recent transmissions from Ron]]''''' (regarding the updated [[UB]] that's coming out in 2016, etc.) and calling for the UF to submit to the new order of things. Gard was concerned whether there might be some real personal [[danger]] to the Trustees, given how [[extreme]] this guy's missive sounded. In response I sent a note disclaiming my connection to any of this just to set the record straight with Gard, and offering to find out more about the Poughkeepsie mystery man. I asked Gard to release more details to us so we could track this down. The Trustees have a meeting next Thursday after which I hope he'll release more info. (He mentioned the guy's name but I didn't write it down nor do I remember it, since it was unfamiliar.) More extremist actions of this sort seem likely in the [[future]], given the incoherence of our "movement" and its lack of [[self-governance]] and public accountability; I suppose we can laugh at our many [[embarrassments]] and take joy in our many achievements.
