Join us for one of the most provocative programs of the season. This “Disinformation” weekend offers us a rare chance to interact with a disparate, yet thematically cohesive group of out-of-the-box thinkers, and discover creative new strategies for navigating the zeitgeist of the new millennium.
For anyone interested in freedom of information and imagination, this is an excellent opportunity to explore alternative thought and have your voice heard through small group discussions and question-and-answer sessions with some of the leading contributors, thinkers, and moving forces associated with the Disinformation Company Ltd., a thriving publishing, television, and home video provider based in New York City.
If you’re looking for alternative information on current affairs, politics, the occult, underground culture, and new science—and the “hidden” information that is censored by the corporate-owned media conglomerates, then this special Disinformation Company Weekend is for you. (((Oh come on – who ISN'T into current political occulist underground hidden science? If you've never heard of that, you should drop that 350 bucks on tuition, pronto! You'll thank me later!)))
Tuition discounts are not available. (((Get a doctorate!))) This workshop has a special schedule when the children’s program may not be available; please call Omega. (((The CHILDREN'S program?!)))
