[RAELIAN DISINFO] Holy or Sterile?

note: the French word "sain" is generally translated as "healthy" in English, and not "pure or sterile" as Rael suggests.

Deresponsibilisation: Raelism and the Milgram Experiments

The Raelian Messages, a collection of alleged physical and telepathic contacts between Claude Vorilhon (aka: Rael) and our supposed extraterrestrial creators - the Elohim, spanning the course of 5 years (1974-79) are messages that offer hope.

They offer a promise that the Elohim will soon descend upon Earth and bestow Humanity with some 25,000 years of scientific knowledge that they've accumulated, and help transform our world into a true “galactic civilization” - one of peace and prosperity.

This will happen once certain criteria are met as detailed in Rael's compilation book Intelligent Design (pp. 101-103, 293, Raelian Foundation, 2005):

- Enough wise people on Earth
- Rael has a large number of followers
- Warlike people with weapons of mass destruction are rendered harmless
- Enough love for humanity
- Enough love for the Elohim
- Humanity capable of “understanding” [1]

The number of followers needed isn't specified clearly in Rael's original writings (The Messages). The only mention of any specific number is of 144,000, referring to the number of people who will be saved by the Elohim to repopulate the Earth in case of Humanity's total self-destruction, and this only appears in Rael's 3rd book (p. 298).

Though a date hasn't been specified in the Messages, the leader of the Raelian Movement, has arbitrarily decided on the year 2035. His reasoning is stated in the postscript (p. 370):

“The Elohim themselves will definitely land here in the not too distant future, around the time of what some call “the singularity”- when everything will be understood thanks to science.”

This singularity is in reference to the predictions of futurist Ray Kurzweil's. However, 2035 wasn't the only date suggested for the Elohim's arrival, as Rael had shifted the date many times, the earliest being 2015, which has already passed.

On October 3rd, 2017, after 40 years of loyalty, devotion and selfless work, Raelian Bishop Guide, Daniel Chabot handed in his resignation to the International Raelian Movement (IRM) despite all the hopeful promises of the Messages. He was then excommunicated by Rael on November 23rd, 2017.

However, this wasn't the only resignation from the Raelian structure. Following the 2003 Clonaid fiasco, perpetrated by Raelian Bishop Guide, Brigitte Boisselier and eventually deemed to be a hoax as there was no evidence to support the claims, many devoted Raelians and other high ranking members also left or were excommunicated from the IRM by Rael.

Personally, I have devoted 12 years (1991-2003) to the IRM and then took an additional 5 years before waking up from a self-imposed hypnosis. Eventually, in 2009 I was branded as an “anti-Raelian” after I started to speak out on social media, and I have been a Raelian truth activist since 2012.

Some have preferred to wait, as former Raelian Bishop Guide, Jean-Denis Saint-Cyr did before publishing a book, "Confessionsde Raël à son ex-bras droit" (Confessions of Rael to his Right-hand Man) affirming that Rael had never met any ETs. They wait until it is safe to speak out, once they've reached retirement and their careers are not at risk or to make a deathbed confession free of any negative consequences.

So, what caused this sudden turnaround in people who were so dedicated to Raelism and its message of hope, to suddenly abandon or speak out against their former religion/philosophy/ spiritual path? What was their tipping point?

Clonaid's Burden of Proof

This December, it will be the 15th anniversary of the Human Cloning hoax perpetrated by Brigitte Boisselier of Clonaid infamy who claimed the birth of Eve, the first human clone on December 27, 2002. The whole hoax was conceived 20 years ago by her spiritual leader Rael in February of 1997 when he registered a hollow company in the Bahamas, as Clonaid's website relates.

Rael has maintained in news media interviews that he and his cult, the Raelian Movement, had no involvement in the claim and that it all rested on Brigitte Boisselier, as the scientific director of Clonaid.

But the truth of the matter is, by April of 2001, Clonaid had created a scientific dreamteam, all composed of high level members of Rael's cult. Moreover, in November 2002, Brigitte Boisselier, without the knowledge of Rael, confessed of the hoax to the top echelon of the cult in a meeting at a fellow Guide Réal Thériault’s home, and asked everyone present to keep it under wraps. These revelations came out only in the past year, more than a decade after the hoax, when Damien M., a Raelian Priest (level 4 Raelian Guide and biotech researcher privy to Clonaid's operations) resigned first and then got excommunicated and Daniel Chabot, a Raelian Bishop (level 5 Raelian Guide, planetary responsible of Raelian Teachings and a professor of psychology) resigned. There had been many more resignations and excommunications in the past year, most notably that of Roy Tyrrell, the National Guide of the Australian Raelian Movement and Sophie de Niverville, who Rael had married when she was only 16 and who had remained faithful to him while Rael satisfied himself with his Angels.

Now, to get to the heart of this blog post. From the recent revelations, Rael seems to maintain that as long as no one can prove Brigitte Boisselier did not produce any human clones, her claim is not a hoax and that her innocence must be assumed. Moreover, even if the hoax ever gets busted, Rael would ironically still forgive her since the whole fiasco brought him and his cult media attention.

While this is true in a criminal court case, where the burden of proof falls on the prosecutor to convict the defendant, in the peer-reviewed scientific method, the burden of proof falls on the claimant and not their scientific peers. The latter is a more rigorous method to establish any truths.

So far, Brigitte Boisselier has not been able to prove her claims by publishing any scientific papers nor has she been able to prove the existence of the 13 in total of the human clones (between December 2002 to March 2004) she claims Clonaid has produced.

The difference in the burden of proof in law and science can be found here and here.

Daniel Chabot explains this point in his resignation letter titled “Balance Sheet – 40 Years of Raelism.” Below are the relevant excerpts in relation to the Clonaid hoax that includes Damien M.'s and another anonymous Raelian Guide's [referred as X] interaction with Rael:
