Most of the time being as crazy as a shithouse rat is a barrier to accumulating great wealth, but every once in a while someone beats the odds and the result is often a source of guilty entertainment. Mrs. Winchester, Howard Hughes, Michael Jackson…
- lectroid
  
  IIRC, Mrs. Winchester came by her fortune the old-fashioned way: She inherited it from her husband, who made it selling, natch, Winchester firearms. One of the reasons for the bizarre, and frankly beautiful Winchester mansion in San Jose was that she believed the spirits of all those killed by Winchester guns were haunting her, so dead-end hallways, stairways to nowhere, and false doors were ways of keeping the spirits confused so they would not be able to find her.
  
  I highly recommend the Halloween flashlight tour. It’s fun!
- Mark Dow
  
  Hughes was a great industrialist, accomplished pilot and the Spruce Goose could fly. Jackson tunes are catchy. Their great wealth came from real accomplishment, as did Mrs. Winchester’s through her husbands efforts. I can’t think of a good example of success attributable to wacky ideas.

Yes, she’s loony, and yes, I quietly wonder at how somebody can truly be this loony and still have furniture, clothing, and sandwiches, but let’s not get too terribly self-righteous here. Every single thing she believes in has exactly the same logical substantiation as any religion on planet Earth, and in fact, a few of her thoughts strike me as more reasonable than most things I’ve heard from the pulpit of a mosque, synagogue, or church. We seen, as a species, to be insatiably attracted to bullshit; she just happens to be a more amusing example of that paradigm.

For one, military helicopters, tanks, etc… are often shipped with a basic paint job (without markings) from the factory, and its up to their duty station to apply the necessary markings and decals when they arrive(I’m prior military).

And second her story isn’t clear and doesn’t match up. The US launched a missile at Iran, but pledians shot it down. They are gonna start putting us in concentration camps and beating us. Who, the US/UN who is supposedly moving equipment? They are gonna fire on Iran and then start beating their own people? The Iranians are gonna do this to us? or the Pledian’s are gonna start doing this to us?

Yes these aren’t serious questions but you’d think she’d get it straight in her head first before trying to convince everyone else. I believe in the possibility of aliens, but like other commenters I think she’s a few short in the head.

Entertaining though :)

I think I’m most disturbed by the fact that she insists she is not mentally ill. And she may merely be a victim of a group of people who have convinced her that what she’s thinking is true. Manson was a master manipulator who got women to kill for him. Coleen and the “Council of 24″ are surely under the influence of someone just as masterful.

If you watched Coleen’s recent video before this (http://io9.com/5684920/an-important-update-on-the-secret-alien-war-in-america), you saw she made several very specific claims that did not come true (like dirty bombs would be detonated in US cities on November 8th), yet this failure does not appear to shake her confidence. This is common with conspiracy theorists, cultists and all manner of True Believers.

For those who want to learn more about this curious tendancy, I recommend reading When Prophecy Fails (wiki summary here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/When_Prophecy_Fails) for a very interesting story about what happened when a group of psychologists infiltrated an alien doomsday cult.

This just keeps getting sadder and sadder. I’m sorry, Xeni, but this is a clear case of delusional paranoia. She’s gotten caught up in every conspiracy theory that there is, and woven them together into an intricate, unshakable worldview that the end is coming any time now. Every world event, from a missile launch to warm weather becomes part of the big picture, that only she can see. At first i thought it was kind of funny, but now I can only see it as tragic. I used to see people ranting like this on the street in Chicago, ranting exactly like this, handing out hand printed flyers. Now, because of the internet, not only can she spread her disease to other mentally unbalanced people, but their delusions can reinforce hers, and the whole thing just keeps on rolling.

She looks like she’s in pretty comfortable surroundings, so I wouldn’t be too worried about her. She reminds me of one of my wife’s friends who believes she channels an ancient spirit, consults her “spirit guides,” and who makes money doing tarot readings for people who call her from all over the US (or at least says she does). Yes, this woman reminds me of her a lot, right down to the leopard print. Only this woman’s a bit more intense.

I, for one, welcome our new Pleidean overlords. Why the heck did we spend all that money on “Star Wars” when they were there all along?
Stranger

She keeps mentioning benevolent aliens that will not let any nation destroy earth. That seems to be some sort of theme. I think what drove her into her delusions is simple fear and general uncertainty. I guess she is trying to cope.

“Colleen was born into a large family in 1960. The family was plagued with mental illness and depraved individuals that preyed upon the young and the weak. Colleen is no stranger to evil and has been confronted with the dark ones, even to the point of attempts on her life. At the age of 14 the wild and virtually uncontrollable 8th grader was sent away to live with a sister in Russellville Arkansas, within a year the unsupervised wild girl was sexual active and then pregnant.”
http://spirituallightworkers.com/profile_colleen.html
- Apashiol
  
  Reading more through that link you supplied you find this: “A lifetime of seemingly unrelenting hardships and hostility from the dark never killed Colleen’s happy go lucky spirit, that is until her 28 year old daughter died unexpectedly 2 years ago….Three hostile marriages, persistent problems with money and 20 years in a Christian cult came crashing in all at once as the anguish of losing a child overtook her.”
  
  “On Valentine’s day of this year a Pleadian man, an 8 ft tall giant who is a gifted and talented astyrophysicist known throughout the galaxy melded minds with Colleen causing her to awaken knowing things about physics she had never learned before and had sudden clarity on all the quantum physical matters that had puzzled and eluded her understanding before.”
  
  It is hard not to laugh at her ideas and I did myself, but this background would indicate a real break with reality due to life circumstances and personal tragedy. I do hope there is someone in her life looking out for her.

    I know someone EXACTLY like this woman, and she charges 100 bucks an hour for consultations. She sees 60 clients a week, every week of the year except for the six week luxury vacation to exotic locales and yearly run up to San Francisco for the newest plastic surgery. She identifies herself with Mother Teresa. When she moved from a 5,000 sqft house to a 3,000 sqft house, she described it as ‘almost like moving to Calcutta’.

      It gets even better! She claims that one of her videos (only $29.99!) features nudes photos of her, going by the saucy title: BTR Aug 15. Interview with Scott Goldberg, with more nudes of Colleen Thomas. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGtGk9N7vMg#
      
      If you’re looking for the discount version, there’s the more modest “Colleen Thomas swim suit edition for experiment with auras and glowing.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8e7TFBk8nJ0# It’s $10.99, but the description is free: “I put on the skimpy swim suit to test to see if my chakras would glow in the dark.” Yeah…right. Sounds like something a Reptilian would say.
  - eeple
    
    It’s hard to know what’s real here: e.g., is the biography true, are the delusions believed?
    
    What is clear is that she’s trying to cash in. Some of her video ravings require rental. $5.99 for the ten minute tale of “The Spiritual Awakening of Colleen Thomas”? Her prices could use some work.

You really must look at her YouTube channel, and especially this one:

where she is apparently inviting people to her home (in Roseville, CA) for a “post-invasion after party” (she says the aliens are a-coming soon) so we might as well party.

Most of her videos seem to be more similar rants as the one first posted, but this one was a slideshow of her house: room after room after room, several bedrooms, a couple lush bathrooms, bar in the basement, and a half-finished outdoor pool or garden space. The pictures linger over the fixtures, the toilets, the shower heads and mosaics and plastic autumn leaf swags. The whole thing is beautiful, post-bubble American hyper-consumerism — and utterly sad and scary and California. It is strange and ordinary and wonderfully wretched.

If this were not an act, then I would say Colleen Thomas suffers from a simple case of paranoid schizophrenia. She exhibits all the classic paranoid delusions with hallucinations manifesting themselves as voices, which as part of her delusions leads her to believe she possess telepathic powers granted to her by the Pleideans. She is lucid, aware, and otherwise functional, which means she likely does not suffer from any of the more server form of schizophrenia.
- Anonymous
  
  Yes, I totally agree with you. I have a B.A. in psychology…and this is classic exhibition of schizophrenia. I had watched another video of hers warning Obama and I thought “this woman is schizophrenic”. Besides the delusion,paranoia,and hallucination, one thing schizophrenics may do is make up words,places,and things.However, not all schizophrenic patients have such creative or entertaining delusions.They could just be as simple as hearing the sound of a bee buzzing when there isn’t a bee and constantly trying to find it(simple enough).
  
  however….. It is super likely that this is an act…and a terrible one at that. It’s just dumb.

Certainly not fake. She “means” it in as much a way as any conspiracy theorist (hypothetizer?) or televangelist means it. This isn’t satire. Whether she actually “believes” it or is rather just trying to make herself a name to promote a book, that’s up to anyone.

Okay, realize…(and I know I’ll be catching huge flack over this), her concept of reality is just as valid as your concept of reality.

So she is not mentally ill as some of you mentioned.

You may read an article about haitians who believe in voodoo magic and who would cower in fear at the prospect of being turned into goats, and you would explain this as being an expression of a more ‘primitive’ culture, but as I see it, their reality is as solid as yours.

Realize that the only reason your ‘truth’ seems absolute, is that you believe in it, and in that sense, you are not different to this lady in any damn way.

If I’d argue with a muslim about ‘truth’, he’d be be giving all kinds of examples of stuff that’s in the Quran, and he wouldn’t understand why I’m so thick in the head not to be convinced that this is the ‘truth’.
If I’d argue with a catholic, he’d be using the Bible.
And if I’m argueing with you guys, then I’d probably have to listen to all kinds of scientific evidence.

Your reality is valid. It is true and valid and real, because you believe in it.
And so is hers. And so is mine.

Would you call the worldview of a person from the Middle Ages an expression of mental illness?
It would be very different from yours though wouldn’t it?!

So let’s not burn this ‘witch’ at the stake, shall we?

  @Marcel. Reality is not relative. The fact people have different beliefs does not mean they are all right, or that they are all sane. Indeed, if your belief is not supportable by any form of logic (in a mathematical sense) or repeatable observations around you, or supports predictions that can be verified, then your belief is delusional. The fact that society is prepared to accept some more common forms of delusion as “religious belief” and other less common forms of delusion as “insanity” is simply a reflection on society and its own bizarre ways of operating. If early societies held certain beliefs because they lacked the ability to make measurements that could disprove their belief (e.g. that the world was flat) then sure, in their frame of reference, their beliefs were incorrect but reasonable. However, for this woman and for the majority of modern religious beliefs, there is plenty of solid, predicable, repeatable and measurable scientific evidence that disproves the belief. To continue to believe in the face of this is, I would argue, a sign of insanity.

  Superstition alone does not equate with mental illness.
  
  Well, not usually.
  
  But always, if violence against oneself or others, is the result of that superstition.

  Marcel,
  
  If you put two ‘true believers’ in a room, but one of them believes in the bible, the other the Qur’an, there would be no debate because there is no common ground. The argument can’t advance past ‘this book is right.’ But just because some people have silly dogmatic beliefs doesn’t mean that pure subjectivism is the only way out.
  
  You put two scientists in a room with a bunch of their sciency equipment, and they will debate for a long time the nature of the world. But then in most cases, they crank out a useful model that can be used to make predictions for the betterment of just about everyone who cares to use it. These people also tend to be much more fun at parties.
  
  The sad thing about your world view is that if you were in a position to help this woman, it seems you would rather not – as her world view is just as valid as the rest.

As someone who edited a new age magazine for 3 years (for my sins)and dealt on a daily basis with this sort of nonsense, I can attest to the fact that these folks might seem serious and sincere, but it’s hard to know for sure. That Pleidean thingie has been around for a while. And the “Michael” she refers to is probably the Archangel Michael — everyone and his or her dog channels him. Add in crop circles, astrology, the mind-numbingly bizarro world of alien abduction, channeling of everyone from 35,000 year old Ramtha to all the major and minor archangels (Michael’s not the only one) not to mention and numerology and crystals etc., ad nauseum, and it’s a perfect source of constant entertainment. My fellow editor and I used to roll on the floor laughing at the stuff we were asked to “edit.” Ask some of these people about “Planet X” — which was supposed to change everything a few years ago. Did it? Um, that would be a “no.”

    Sorry eeple, but for Colleen Thomas to suffer from just a delusional disorder, auditory and visual hallucinations cannot be prominent. Colleen asserts in hearing the auditory thought of others through her telepathic abilities. That added component clearly defines her personality disorder as paranoid schizophrenia. Like people most who do suffer from Delusional disorders, paranoid schizophrenics are usually highly functional people who may not exhibit any other odd behavior aside from their paranoid delusions.

She’s not suffering from mental illness, I think she enjoys it.

In one of her videos she writes that some guy called Michael will appear sometime next year and exact his vengeance on all who threaten peace. This is worrying. I just hope there isn’t any KoolAid or Comet involved. :(

Is this a viral ad for the new Skyline movie that is coming out?

Well, I called the number she posted in another video, and she answered. No marketing message or anything, just “This is Colleen”. Sad. But why would you post your phone number on the web?

Sad to say, but my guess is that she’s going through an intense manic phase. She needs to get back on her Li.

She knows what she is talking about. Have any of you seen Jesse Ventura’s show on conspiracy? There are detention centers with barbed wire set up all over the US and grave liners. He showed them on his show and confronted the people that had the concentration camps. The Pleidians have stopped nuclear way many times. There was a news story on Fox Network a few weeks ago showing hearings with the military on UFO’s and how they are here and how they have stopped nuclear attacks. WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

The description kills me:

description:
Just Colleen cutting lose in celebration after throwing the reptilians in her life that were taking advantage of her OUT from inside her own home!!

Review:
Just good, clean adult sexuality and humor with great shots of Colleen Thomas’ rockin granny bod that inspired the new term “gilfy” for Grandmother I’d Like to F-%$, lol. She may be 50 but she’s still got it!!!

It doesn’t stop there – there’s a preview with an additional on-screen description that reveals her plot…

Colleen Thomas dances in sexy clubbing outfits ( and topless at one point) to celebrate her personal freedom from the reptilian brained people that were making her life hell on Earth.

The last song plays to elegant photos of Colleen dressing in her closet into sexy bedroomwear and then posing in them. There are also nudes of Colleen in the final song, enjoy the beautiful work of God’s hands.

Colleen is single and likes to be invited all over to hang out and have fun with people who can afford to live in the manner she was accustomed to before the crash.

Money, at least for now until our systems all change must be offered in exchange for Colleen’s company. To invite Colleen to a function, out dancing or just for a visit to get to know her better please write to her at cmfawn@surewest.net

….. This is followed by 1:20 of her dancing on what looks to be a webcam in various rooms of her house.

really?
