Finding JJ - Maui's Truth Flower

2008-10-25T03:30:21Z

Last week JJ left the Young Turks for good. However, during her last moments on camera she finally was able to give us a clue to what's been happening behind the scenes and why Sick of the Lies has been threatened. Although I was flattered by JJ's comments, something didn't add up. If you're familiar with hostage situations where captives often use coded messages, it was obvious that JJ was trying to communicate the acronym "SFLF".

I immediately did some research and found out that "SFLF" was a secret government program started in the late seventies to study the effects of the indigenous Hawaiian flower only found on the Haleakala volcano in Maui called 'ahinahina, otherwise known as the truth flower. The University of California at Los Angeles and San Francisco did a number of experiments on a select group of kids in the late seventies and eighties to see the powers of the truth flower. It was believed that high levels of exposure to this flower during childhood resulted in the ability to see through lies and propaganda; a very powerful tool for our government. Although this program was supposedly shut down as a result of a number of anomalies who refused to cooperate with the government as they grew older, it has been rumored that the program is still in operation.

I remembered that Ben happened to take a trip to Maui at the same time JJ disappeared from the Absolute Truth. After more research that led to the discovery of the infamous Dr. M who was determined to reign in control of all the anomalies, there was no doubt that JJ was one of the anomalies and Ben was Dr. M. The only course of action was for me to get on a plane straight to Maui in search of the truth and to free JJ!
