NightCap Village Nightmare

By Gi Linda -

NightCap Village Nightmare -
Truth is irrelevant if false narratives are believed long enough for cash flows to enrich the coin-hungry coffers of the NightCap/ Minjungbal Cabal. 

Launching Nightcap on Minjungbal -- "the World's Largest Holistic Village", Nightcap Village News sent this announcement to a Truthology Freedom Summits mailing list:

"We've lost our way as humans, which is why we believe we need to recreate ‘The Village’". 

The anonymous author invites those disaffected with the dysfunctional establishment to join a community venture "to demonstrate a better way of living":

"Hi everyone
You’ve probably all been wondering what we’ve been up to? Well, a lot! ... we decided to look at some more positive and proactive ways to live a harmonious and satisfying life..."

Probably everyone is wondering who has been up to such a lot. Recipients of the newsletter who have followed Truthology and Freedom Summits since they emerged in 2013 know very well the identities of the notorious litigious "Freemen" whose Sovereignty Cult used Truthology in 2015 as a mendacious front to divest ingenuous investors of their life savings.

For those new to the land-share scam they are pushing, we'll adopt familiar nicknames used by those defrauded  by Truthology's terrible two: the deceptive marketing maestro "Romeo" with money-grubbing flat-earth promoter  "Jimmy the Maggot," assisted by the "Bully-Bully Boyz".

In 2016 the Truthology and Freedom Summit websites, Facebook pages and most Truthology YouTube videos were scrubbed after the Nimbin GoodTimes published "The Truth About Bhula Bhula" exposing the land-share scam that left 21 investors in "Bhula Bhula Village Community,"  including myself, defrauded of over $1.5 million.

Not to be deterred by local bad press, Romeo, Jimmy the Maggot and the Bully-Bully Boyz filed defamation charges against the publisher and against myself, author of the article, and changed their public front from Truthology, Freedom Summits and Bhula Bhula Village Community to "Rainmaker Eco Investments" which acquired Mt Burrell Commercial property by borrowing, filtching and leveraging off the investors who were defrauded in the first land-share scam.

Rainmaker Eco was then linked with "Mount Warning Eco Village", soliciting finance for a second attempted "community" on environmentally protected land, again without development approval in place and without lodging a DA application. 

Jimmy the Maggot also associated with a local pot grower holding an industrial hemp license and became director of the CIA, "Cannabis Industries Australia". This company, run by the BB Boyz, falsely claims to have a medical cannabis license while selling shares and soliciting finance in a non-existent "Nimbin University".

Mount Warning Eco Village land-share scam and Cannabis Industries Australia medical cannabis scam were exposed in blogs by the "Association of Investors Defrauded by Darwin". In retaliation, the Truthology gang charged me, as blog author, in NSW Supreme Court with injurious falsehood, also lodging two urgent injunctions attempting to gag free speech and have the blogs removed. After eight hearing with their false charges challenged by a defence of truth, both their injunctions failed; the blogs remain live and detailed accounts of events can be found in the archives. 



After the land-share scam and Cannabis Industries Australia medical cannabis scam were exposed in blogs, Mount Warning Eco Village  was morphed by the "Truthology" gang into "Nightcap Village", and now into "Nightcap on Minjungbal -- the World's Largest Holistic Village".

Nightcap Village News of "the Community’s plans moving forward" continues:

For the past few years, we have been working very hard on establishing ‘Intentional-Conscious-Communities’ and have had to deal with many issues and detractors trying to stop this amazing vision from becoming a reality... but we have prevailed and are excited to introduce our first big development, which is nestled in the foothills of Mount Warning. It’s set upon more than 4,000 lush acres of incredibly gorgeous countryside..."

In reality, the "detractors trying to stop this amazing vision from becoming a reality" are actually defrauded investors in Truthology's first "Intentional-Conscious-Community" simply attempting on a tilted stage to achieve restitution.

"Ambassador" Tyler Tolman

"Many of you who attended our Freedom Summits in around 2014 will remember International Health Coach Tyler Tolman, son of Don Tolman. Well Tyler has taken a place within the community, and is helping promote it to his awesome tribe of health-conscious beings. This works really well for us at NightCap Village, as we want to foster and support a healthy, sustainable and ‘do-no-harm’ essence throughout the Community. Many of Tyler’s tribe has already joined us and we feel blessed to have his support."
How could such a healthy-happy venture soliciting money be dodgy when vouched for by a sincere, smiling minor celebrity?

Obviously it doesn't matter to Tyler Tolman that trusting investors have been defrauded along the way; the great vision for Intentional-Conscious-Communities is so important to the visionaries that a few casualties along the road can silently be swept aside. Ambassador Tyler’s "inspirational introduction to the Community" is pink lipstick on piglets.

Intentional-Conscious-Communities
 
Inviting email recipients to take an exciting tour of the property where Truthology is advertising Nightcap Village, we are told:

"Becoming involved in this awesome project can look many different ways. You can live there, or build to rent out to other people, once all of the relevant approvals are in place... There are also more than 600 acres of maturing Blackbutt Forests which can be used to build your dream home/cabin..."

Whether or not "relevant approvals" are ever likely to be in place, no development application has yet been lodged and the enthusiastic marketers do not even own the land.

The Truthology website, removed after exposure of the land-share scam in 2016 has now been revived with an unidentified "specialist" offering advice on superannuation investment:

"I believe that Law helps to get an expert advice on your financial matters like practical and sound legal advice. As a law specialist, I always try to give excellent advice to my readers. I helped so many readers with their accounting related issues such as taxes and expert advice on maintain the budget, record and assist individuals from paying extra taxes. Through this website, I like to share my experience with all and always happy to answers any query."

Recognition of the hurt and harm caused by their earlier developments wouldn't look too good in the sales pitch, but, with defrauded investors filing both civil and criminal charges to achieve restitution, the unhealed wounds of previous failed "Intentional-Conscious-Communities" do not so conveniently go away.

Truth is irrelevant to Truthology; the important thing is that the false narrative of the moment should be believed long enough for a bank transfer to enrich the coin-hungry coffers of  the resuscitated "Truthology" cabal. So, as Romeo invites:

"If this excites you in any way… Be part of a tribe that wants to demonstrate a better way to live."

The Bhula Bhula Community Disaster



By Melissa Hirsch - A Defrauded Investor -

My experience of the Bhula Bhula Community disaster:

I bought into Bhula Bhula (BB) in March 2015, fourteen weeks before the land was purchased. I was both excited and concerned… in retrospect I can see how naive and trusting I was.

As a single, middle-aged woman I was excited at the possibility of living in a community of like-minded people. It would be a combination of a social, support and information network with kids, families, intelligent conversation, a brain-trust… people who knew more or differently from me.

My concern was the gap between what was on paper and what was alluded to and ‘emphasised’ by the front men (the boyz).

So many of the 'stories' that were sold to us never eventuated… the community centre, the equality, transparency and honesty… even the contracts on paper that were constantly a ‘known’ within the community were not honoured.

One of the most important processes that was not actioned was the "Incorporated Association" through which investors would jointly own and control the land. The Association should have been the sole share holder in the company that owned the land. 


Instead, Adrian Brennock made himself the sole share holder, never registering the Association or those that paid for the land, though I do have emails from Mark Darwin informing us the "Association" was registered, and all the rest of the 'stories' about how we would become members before the land was purchased, etc, etc…
 

No matter how many times we asked, requested, demanded, nothing changed!

Emails, YouTube clips and conversations were full of contradictions and manipulations of the truth to cover their arses, but these were also purposeful, conscious manipulations to 'sell'. At first we thought the contradictions and changing ‘facts’ were mistakes, but its clear now how deliberate these were.

Whenever anyone asked questions, or asked to see the financial accounts they were ignored, then eventually verbally bullied and abused in person or through emails. The boyz send the most delightfully spiteful anonymous emails,
full of venom and personal attacks. Their most recent pseudonym is "Dummass Boofhead"  or "FYJ Boofhead" (thats FYJ for "F*k You Jimmy" -- a phrase that amuses them no end).

There are at least 5 families who have lost their entire life savings to these people and many individuals have lost huge chunks of their earnings, over $1.5 million, all taken from those who earned and saved then purchased the land.
 
Here are some of the games these boyz have played: they have gone from one tax avoidance scheme to another, changing companies, foundation names and fronts, burning many people/companies/foundations/businesses. All because they can, because they exploit legal loopholes and betray the trust of honest, decent people.
 
Their next project is another Eco Village at Mt Burrell. Apparently they are sucking in more people and manipulating the truth and those in authority. If you think those of us included in this blog are just bitter, twisted losers, then talk to some Mt Burrell locals and hear them out… that way you can save your arses, your money and count your blessings that there are some moral and ethical people out there, willing to take a stand.

I recommend watching the YouTube clips….RECREATING THE VILLAGE #1 &#2…..so much of what is said is NOT TRUTH… those TRUTHOLOGY boyz… tut, tut!
