[edit]

This article has not a single cite. Even a cursory glance shows glaring errors of fact - for example, this one sentence paragraph Following the election of Richard M. Nixon, Mobe organized a "counter-inaugural" to take place in Washington D.C. on the day of Nixon's inauguration. This demonstration as well attracted only about 10,000 and was accompanied by street violence. Considering there were 7000 protesters arrested that day in Washington, DC [United States. Congress. Senate. Committee on the Judiciary], the 10,000 number is almost surely pulled from thin air. I do not think that ANY other single demonstration in the United States even approached that number of arrested demonstrators.

Perhaps this entire article should be reduced to a one sentence stub that can be expanded with well-cited sources that provide reliable information. Neonorange (talk) 05:39, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

'attempted by means of meditation and chanting to "levitate" the building'

[edit]

   The prior revision's wording, 'attempted by means of meditation and chanting to "levitate" the building', was clever as a slogan-meme, and worth quoting, but is almost certainly a bald-faced lie. No one who was in possession of their rational faculties came closer than verbally and by play-acting, performing actions metaphorically representing that fantasy meme, and we may even have frank admissions from some of the organizers that they would not have claimed to be stating actual intentions or beliefs if they expected stable minds to fail to recognize the mock-intentions as ironic suggestions that would advance the following perception: that the policy-makers in the administration were irrational, and/or lying to the portion of the population who would accept the lies as plausible. (Sorry; it's ironic that adequately stating what 'should not need ' explication is a really tough task! And I've given myself the task -- in case it may be needed -- of adequately stating what should be "obvious".)
