Death of The Venus Project conclusion + Big announcement coming soon
Hello again, Apologies for the reduced activity in recent weeks, there has been plenty of talk to about, that we've been busy with.
After reviewing all the arguments presented by both sides, as well as online supporters of Simon Michaux, the following conclusions have been reached:
-the pseudo-scientific and conspiracy theories accusations brought forth by the Russian-speaking team are indeed true.
In various podcasts, the following pseudo-science and conspiracies have been brought forward by Simon:
- Covered-up infinite wireless electric energy conceived by Tesla. Repeatedly, see for example the Promethius Project video and the Accidental Gods interview;
- Electric Universe, Water Powered Cars, and Zero Point Energy.
See the slide from the Promethius Project video, presented here.
https://twitter.com/FrescoNetwork/status/1754843539605688534 And no, bringing these up as fields of inquiry does not denote an open mind, but a conspiratorial, pseudo-scientific one. - As a sidenote, the conversation i had with one of Simon's close followers, from which this tweet is from, was disturbing for an organisation formed on a purely scientific and empirical worldview. It was a worldview that ultimately concluded that scientific institutions cannot be trusted!
- Neither were any specific claims made by the Russian-speaking team denied, like the decade long self-isolation in the desert, colloqually called "Jacque's rest", in which TVP waits while the world collapses, or the imposition of a (likely shamanistic) single religion as the social glue of the new community.
- There were also some information which was revealed to me in private conversation, which i am not yet privy to share, which details more about certain aspects of the Venus Evolution. To anyone who will get more in touch with these reveals, look for example at how medicine is to be structured in the new city.
-the paper submitted by Simon Michaux is indeed not peer-reviewed, and his allegations of contacts "in high places", as well as the meetings which he was supposedly was a part of, cannot be proven or backed by any sort of evidence;
-the Thorium Network(which is listed under the page of TVP's partners https://www.thevenusproject.com/about/partners/ ) is indeed scummy, and is linked to a spiderweb of phantom companies, fake CV's, crypto-currency scams, and a forum of scam victims from a previous venture: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NqmdOCVz4J2BHMEU73yKL21x8ImGA2OzzODfOvhmeOY/edit#heading=h.t740b3ruk6eh
-the behaviour of the new board has been indeed abusive. The attitude present in the following conversation says the Russian-speaking team is to get in line, and has nothing to offer TVP, and saying they can always sell everything and start other ventures, but Yevhen is dependant on their goodwill, since he is a Ukrainean refugee with wife and kids, and therefor financially blackmailable.

This follows years of similar allegations, and massive structural problems, told by previous members of TVP, stretching back years: https://www.bigworldsmallsasha.com/2019/09/13/why-i-left-the-venus-project/ https://docs.google.com/document/d/18JZTpHmX5dvE_RvX8XRYv30G4qz8Be-xeK1DDt8PsDM/edit https://www.tiotrom.com/2016/11/tvp-and-me/ https://docs.google.com/document/d/10RfmnDINo4dk2aTRNFoM-i9j_bn7dZ73Z7qoAAo-M8Y/edit http://www.auravana.com/conflict-resolution.html https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EG68qxbYPRWM7CUJmPeu_7si9rHXB-pSQMF9fYI7FuU/edit https://docs.google.com/document/d/1R0yRP4eVHb4KnJMngyB5W9mmcqwHBHBlsozK97ZNWKc/edit# https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tlHina0Y3ERiEL8iDvt5e2UiKyaEZFq4g_5t29wnwiA/edit
-the conversations that have been carried on Discord, in the "The RBE Project"(name has been frequently changed in the past, in various vague titles involving the words "AI" and "Singularity", without a mention of Jacque Fresco or RBE until recently) server have been nothing but pure stonewalling by Nathanael Dinwiddie, Peter, and other members of the new team, inside the "The Death of Jacque Fresco's The Venus Project" thread.
Please note that it not only the russian-speaking team, or us that were verbally attacked and kept in the dark, but also regional coordinators from other former TVP Support groups, such as the Israeli one, which knew even less than us.
All responses have been either evading the question, while going on personal attacks about the character and motives of the participants, or just requests to wait more until everything is a fait accompli.
For anyone who wants to check for themselves, please request access to the server off my Discord, or from Nathanael Dinwiddie, if i do not, or will not, have permissions to invite.
-the secrecy and opacity demanded by the new board, and it's duration since the middle of last year, is not tenable if TVP's change of direction is compatible with Jacque Fresco's vision, but would make sense if the new plan did indeed confirm the document's fears.
-the plans presented in the slides as proof success is guaranteed out are incredibly vague, and basically platitudes: https://twitter.com/InterimHumanity/status/1755542933250441416 https://twitter.com/InterimHumanity/status/1755553100432085422 https://twitter.com/InterimHumanity/status/1755545882823381150
Please note how the first step is raising a lot of money, without any guarantees to prevent it from being siphoned off.
In conclusion, even if they were exagerated at times, which we have no reason to suspect, given the context presented, the claims made by former TVP Rus are indeed extremely likely true, and even a small part of them prove The Venus Project has abandoned any sort of continuity with Fresco's vision of a scientific future without politics, poverty, and war, instead abandoning themselves into becoming an apocalyptic cult, dominated by a worldview of conspiracy, scarcity and mystical delusions, under the direction of a con-man and his lackeys.
Under these circumstances, The Venus Project has lost it's pivotal role in the history of humanity's evolution, and can no longer be supported by any man or woman with basic scientific literacy.
What is to be done?
With the current situation being on a path of no return, we ask for the support of any of the followers of Jacque Fresco's true vision, to collaborate on forging a dedicated movement to preserve the great man's teachings in an open and scientific manner.
We make no claims of being the heads of this movement, and look forward to collaborating and working with any group that wishes to build this, even to the point of eventually abosbing, merging with, or merging into this new flame-bearer.
We have already been in discussions with various people and groups, both ex and current TVP members, and people from the broader RBE ecosystem, and look forward to hearing official news of it in the following weeks.
We wish you a future beyond politics, poverty, and war!
The Jacque Freco Education Network
