Joe Olson, P.E., The ASHRAE Cargo Cult

Joe Olson In his recent FewTube video, anthropologist Robert Sepehr describes the reaction of ignorant tribal societies when confronted by foreign, advanced technologies. While most pronounced in the tribes in Micronesia, by the arrival of allied forces, then overtaken by Japanese forces and finally recaptured by allies, and then abandoned.  Confused, the tribal societies then asserted their creation of these advanced technologies, claimed that they had created these products of civilization and that foreigners had stolen these gifts from their gods. The modern parallels are striking. The Cargo Cult Phenomena,…

On C-SPAN, Richard Gage leaves 9/11 Truth in a Time-Warp
