This might be of interest. On my way to work today I noticed that the One Taste building had a big old For Sale sign on the side of it. Two different prices- have they had to come down? This is my first post- I came hear over a year ago to read about Landmark, then stumbled onto this thread. I had experience with the One taste people years ago- an outside company was using their spa

Its better if the new Trellis House information goes into the OneTaste Victor Baranco thread, otherwise it gets lost over time. Also, that thread was merged, so it begins with posts by Marc Beneteau about Baranco and Daedone, where Beneteau is putting out all sorts of false and self-serving disinformation.

Fascinating how Reese Jones bio at Singularity University, states he actually is connected with Wikipedia. As shown in this thread, Wikipedia does NOT have an entry on Reese Jones, which is outrageous, as he is a huge player in that industry. So he appears to be just unfamous enough with the general public, for a wikipedia entry under his name to somehow NOT be allowed, to keep away the nosy p

At the OneTaste wikipedia article, there is one, or a couple of OneTaste members who are constantly trying to delete any critical information about OneTaste, which is typical with these groups. The main "argument" is to try and use the couple of adverticles, which were obviously "bought and paid for" as glorified press releases, as a reference about what is "accurate&

QuoteThe AnticultThat message from the PSI member above, is a very standard technique. Verbal shaming. This is the reason the leaders of LGAT groups like PSI, Landmark, Vic Baranco (OneTaste, Nicole Daedone), Scientology, Byron Katie, and many others, all do so-called "charity" work for children, or food for homeless people. It has many pay-offs for them. Its good PR, it keeps p

It seems what has happened, is due to the structure of these companies now, there are almost no journalists on staff, very few. They seem to have a pay-to-print policy worked out. Someone like OneTaste or Reese Jones, etc, hires a big PR company, and they design an article, and they somehow get the paper to print it. Maybe they even pay to have it printed.
