Croppie Gossip: Paranoia, Projection and Tarpaulins

What is going on with Dene Hine, Deiniol Davies and the rest of Team Ten Watt? They seem quite upset and hiding under tarpaulins in the local woods. Worried, maybe. Using anonymous Facebook accounts, there seems to be a whole lot of paranoia from them with regard to the hoax at Cerne Abbas, and (if what we read online is correct) a lot of potential psychological projection over the unclaimed formation at Beech Clump.

With regard to the former, apparently ‘a certain team is grassing up other teams to the police’. Really? The case is made without any supporting evidence, just as we’ve come to expect. 

Then there is the claim that the Beech Clump makers were apparently captured ‘on camera’ by the farmer. Again, this is presented without evidence. We just have to take the word of liars that they’re not lying, because on this occasion the lies, or maybe the truth, could be genuine. Or lies. 

We read the subsequent sentence as suggesting the bogeymen from ‘Team snitches’ have ‘ruined crop circles for good’. Given that this circle still appeared — even though it was cut quickly by the famer — suggests its creators have already disproven the idea of a ruined phenomenon.

We are left asking for whom the phenomenon is now spoiled, exactly. Everyone? Certain individuals? Or is this just more dramatic lies from an attention seeking pity party organiser, such as that which suggested crop circles had ended because of the war in Ukraine? Or the ludicrous notion that a certain someone has retired. 

Finally, step forward the ever useful Ten Watt spokesperson Mark ‘Billy’ Breen who suggested that ‘made to order crop circles are going to arrive’ in the forthcoming ‘busy season’. Really, made to order by whom? Show us the proof, please. 

If you’ve been on the scene long enough you’ll know that Breen’s words are the same nonsense spewed from the mouth of Andrew Pyrka more than a decade ago. 

Nobody was producing ‘made to order crop circles’ then and nobody is doing it now. Of course, Breen, if you have the objective evidence then feel free to share it. You won’t because it doesn’t exist. Regurgitating what your guiding low wattage bulb has told you doesn’t make it true. And, hey, aren’t crop circles now ‘ruined for good’? Who’d want to order something that’s apparently that bad? Hmmmm. 

So many words supported with zero in the way of proof. He said, she said. Nothing more. Tittle tattle. As we’ve stressed before, Team Ten Watt are all about ‘truth, justice and whatever is on offer’. In the absence of the first two, the third of these things definitely seems to be on the table. On this occasion the potential reward is the opportunity to throw mud around in the desperate hope that something sticks to third parties whom they dislike. It’s far easier for them to do that than consider they’re potentially unable to see the wood for the trees. How could they possibly be wrong? Well, look at it like this:

If you’re publicly admitting responsibility for multiple hoaxes; if you’re posting your plans online either before or after a circle appears; if you’ve been vile to a large cross-section of people through the years; if you’ve written all kinds of rubbish about them; if you’re running a large Facebook group containing God knows who that may have an issue with the circles (farmers, their families, friends and local residents from their communities) and you’re assuming nobody there could have an issue with you; if you’re demeaning people who have a different opinion to you on the circles’ origins (or facilitating others to do this work) … If you’re any of the above and then you’re recklessly opening your mouths to tell the world about your self-perceived triumphs, you leave yourself open to anyone who may have an issue with you.

And we know there are plenty of people who do.
