Daniel Jones (Jedi name Morda Hehol), the founder of the Star Wars Jedi religion aka Church of Jediism (yes…its real), is considering legal action after he was “humiliated and victimized” in a UK supermarket (Tesco), when he was asked to remove his Jedi hood.

The Church of Jediism reportedly has 500,000 members. The continues a long line of religious persecution…and it must stop. First the Jews, then the Christians, then the Muslims…. now the freakin’ Jedis. When will this madness end?

Terence McKenna was a writer and philosopher whose main area of focus was the study of the origin of human consciousness.

McKenna became a popular (yet controversial) counterculture figure in the 80s and 90s. The controversy stemmed both from his theories (the most famous being the “Stoned Aped Theory” – see video below.), and his exploration of altered states and endorsement of psychedelic drugs.

Here is are two short videos that cover some of his ideas:
