My Legal Struggle with Christine Breese and the University of Metaphysical Sciences (UMS)

RE: My Legal Struggle with Christine Breese and the University of Metaphysical Sciences (UMS)

Wow. This is tits. You can consider me a willing soldier in your war against this tool. Keep in mind that there is a large following behind you, many of them lawyers. Dave Hanson for instance, who is the prosecuting attorney for Clearwater county, and Lars, a man who is not only a lawyer, but also very tall. And you've got me; Jeremiah Liend, bon vivant, swashbuckling adventurer, and Shadow Mayor of Bemidji. If you need me to lead some sort of assault in the cyber and/or real world, you just send up the signal. Dozens of your most capable and disturbed allies will emerge from the woodwork to administer swift north woods justice.

OMFG!!!! despite the fact i can't have kids cause i have a pp, i so wanna have your baby! good luck to you. that bitch is crazy!

I want to hereby announce my willingness to back Holden up in a scrap. The sound of one hand clapping is John Holden making videos, and then some fruitcake sending him a happy endorsement but later completely changing his/her position and being shocked when John just keeps singing the song he was singing all along.

So some "students" are disturbed about the vid and the ensuing comments?

Weclome to planet earth. A lot of disturbing opinions are expressed here. Thick skin, children, thick skin, else we're toast.

Anyhow, now is a good moment.

Isn't it?

I'm all for exposing this 'university' for what it really is, but I think only the most mentally il would actually think it's a good idea to enrol there.

let the blood be preserved, and peace now reign across the land.

Videobloggers and Youtubers should be able to quote and use each others videos for commertary, parody, etc with proper attribution. This is how it works in text blogs, newspapers, magazines, and books. So shall it be for web video.

I resent being called un-spiritual. I actually play your videos while doing my morning yoga. I plan on sending out 2 spiritual thought warriors for you John, which when added to the powerful forces of Jeremiah, Dave and Lars should do the trick. I'd send more but the rest are helping Shane decide where best to move his collegiate ass.

Hey John,

Christine here, the gal your video is about. I actually thought your first one was funny, and this one is entertaining too! I’m actually honored that you would pick me to make a parody of, out of all the videos out there, you picked mine! I’m honored. Thanks! I am feeling rather humorous about the whole thing, it's funny to me.

I personally didn’t have a problem with your videos, we just had an overprotective staff member who got carried away trying to ask you to honor copyright laws in the emails. We did feel a copyright violation did take place because it seems that people on Youtube adhere to the 20% rule, which is if a video is 5 minutes long, 1 minute is within the safe guidelines of the Fair Use Act. Yours isn’t within the 20% rule. But that’s ok, be cool, no one's out to get you. Sorry that staff member got carried away and scared you, but there is no lawsuit, silly! It’s not my style. I didn’t know all that was happening until a few days ago, it looks like it got blown out of proportion, and suddenly I find out I'm supposed to be in some lawsuit! The oddity of it all. It’s amazing to me how everyone can get into such a tizzy so fast! It’s mind boggling.

However, I don’t have a problem with your videos. I’m pretty mellow about it. Actually, I've had some good laughs over the situation. It sure came as a surprise. Some of the students and staff members might not be cool with it, but me, well, I figure “anything goes” on this planet, eh? I never worry about the small stuff.

I do think you’re kinda cute and funny too! You’re right! Let’s turn this into a lot of views for both of us! I’ll have my people call your people, we’ll do lunch and celebrate!

Rock on!

@Christine:
If I make fun of you and violate your copyright, can I come to lunch too?
I'm kinda hungry.

Well, ok, why not?

Let's just make a party out of it! We can have a potluck.

But we eat pretty healthy, so you have to be willing to eat tofu! And veggies and fruit!

I'm seeing it for what it is. A woman who has a neurosis of her own spending time convincing herself that she is completely calm and tranquil through her easily lead students.

Having Monkey Mind makes us who we are... Even if it means comedic with an edge.

If I lost my strong opinions because I subdued my emotional backup, I might as well be a zombie and never make it in the film industry because there would be nothing to tap into emotionally when auditioning in front of a casting director.

My first observation of Christine Breeze without your imput was that I would hate to be alone with her in a room when she has one of her emotional melt downs.

As far as your concerned, if they really had an attorney working on it, they would have sent you a cease and desist letter with no personal warning.

Lastly, Christine is getting wonderful recognition from people who would never know she existed and to judge that your audience wouldn't go for her retreat means she's using Monkey Mind judgment.

Its an off handed compliment, but true.

Thanks for your entertainment,

Laura

What the hell is this 20% rule? No such thing. Other than that glad that our Monkey Minds and Lizard Brains can co-exist. Plenty of butter to go around.

you are the man.

Our Monkey Mind Masters may have a problem with this, but all the better to enjoy.

I don't know if Christine really means what she says here... and if so, cool... if not... well the only experience I have with the (UMS) was a ridiculous "conversation" via blog comments with a "Laura" from the school.

I'm glad to hear you won't be shut down and deleted from the internets, though... it would be like having your entire existence, monkey mind or not, deleted from the universe.

Sounds like Christine wants some of that naked sexy!! Her neurosis seems to stem from lack of sexual outlet and maybe you have cured her!! Maybe she will actually smile or make SOME sort of facial expression in her next vid.

Your eyes, your mouth, YOUR "truths" have hypnotized her and the rest of us here on YouTube! No one man or woman can resist your charm, your sex.. your monkey mind.

Unlike all the others who post here and seem to have big funny brains... I am not so blessed. I can only tell you what comes from my heart.. and other naughty bits.

Hugs/Kisses... Rollo -- You know who I am!!! ha ha!!

My name is Sarah and I work at UMS.

I should warn you right off the bat that I'm just some gal who works at the office. Nothing I say is official UMS communication or policy. I'm responding as a fan, from home, on my own time. (just in case the office reads this!)

I can only tell you my own story: when I started working at UMS, some staff members showed me your video and we all laughed our asses off about it. I thought it was very funny, clever, and not at all offensive. Actually it is one of your gentler videos!

When I asked my supervisor about the video, I was told explicitly not to worry about it, because Christine personally thought it was funny and that's all that mattered.

I am disappointed and disgusted that someone decided to threaten you! What the hell? I can be sure that that person will be in a world of trouble for it. Christine knows what is going on, and she even posted a comment on the original YouTube video about it.

The vast majority of the staff and students at UMS know how to take a good joke!!

Please know again that nothing I say is in any way "official" communication from UMS, but I am speaking the truth as much as I am aware of it.

Also, it was through this video that I discovered your video blog and became a fan. So thanks for that.

Sarah

great artists will always be attacked by smaller minds.

i think you're one of the best videomakers I know. never stop, no matter what.

everybody FTW, esp. Holden + Fair Use.

ps your cute!!

THE PLOT THICKENS

Why don't the sentiments of the letter Christine sent John in the video ("Christine here, I realize you win") match the sentiments she is leaving now as comments ("I didn't even know I was supposed to sue you!")?

Something ain't right.

Hey! Glad to see you are back. Sorry about the legal problems you were having. But made some great material for your show.

Hopefully all things go well.

So... I take it we're not assaulting a metaphysical school? Because I thought that was the plan and have been waging theoretical attacks all fucking week. Now this Christina has the audacity to be above it all? Well she's going to be having dreams about being attacked by a school of Starkist tuna cans for about a month now if my psychic powers have anything to say about it... so... sorry about that I guess. I'll back the Guild down to standby and await further instructions.

You're going about this wrongly. Send the receptionist some random junk and stink envelopes.

Dude is truly possessed by the Devil himself. He needs to seek enlightment. He probably was a neglected and abused snot nose kid. People are scared of the truth and will harass those who try to bring the light because theyve been brainwashed for so long by society. Anything God like is frightening to them. Let the truth be told, the blind leads the blind and they are the walking dead. Continue sleeping...

If you need any legal support, I will be a juror for the case.
If you need any other type of support, I can make a kick ass chicken salad
and I am a good listener.

I read some tea leaves this morning and the omens bode well for you.
Blessings.
