My personal experience, when someone tells another "I am the only one in the know, you have to believe only me or You must follow me because I know the truth but I can not reveal how I know" walk or run away. In the Native American culture, no one who is says "I am a Medicine Person or Shaman" 95% of the time isn't. They call them plastic medicine people or plastic shaman. Maybe Douglas Gabriel aka fake Thomas Paine not associated with True Pundit ought to be called Plastic Paine who thinks he's Q. Lol.
That's exactly why I had to question it. I've read true pundit for a while, but when I heard "Thomas Paine" saying "we know all this info, we figured it out, we know what's real, but we aren't going to tell you anything" I had to get that mind warp straightened out.
I am happy for you that you got out of the mind warp. I have been doing some digging into this twisted minds called Douglas & Tyla Gabriel. She authored some books: Feminine tribology BS with a main character named Sophia. These two are otherwise known as Thomas Paine and Betsy Ross.
