Remember the Gentle Wind Project – sellers of magic plastic cards that you hold in your hands to achieve “physical and emotional balance” in the face of traumatic events? Well the Maine Attorney General's Office has filed a lawsuit against them:
The Gentle Wind Project designs and sells what it calls "healing instruments" that it said solve a variety of physical and emotional ailments.
Others said the group is a scam.
The attorney general's office accused the group of falsely claiming that their products had healing qualities and of considering the income from their sale as charitable donations rather than sales proceeds.
Prosecutors want the Gentle Wind Project to liquidate its assets, pay the state's legal fees and refund anyone who bought items between 2000 and the present.
“Others said the group is a scam”. Those “others” would include me, of course. I wish the Maine Attorney General's Office success in their lawsuit.
Hmm... the time could be right to make a killing on worry-beads and Nerf balls - "every bit as effective as Gentle Wind's potent products but only a fraction of the price!"
If I sold the beads and balls at, say, £100 each, I could be a rich man!
There seems no limit to gullibility - perhaps we could find a new gullibility-powered energy source and save the planet!
The possibilities are endless...

GWP sells "healing instruments" that are supposed to cure emotional trauma. Their "instruments" are based upon “high-frequency temporal shifting, matrixed with millions of pre-defined etheric modifications operating in a vertically and horizontally oriented polarization.”
GWP says that it manufactures their instruments based upon knowledge they have received through “telepathic impressions in the form of engineering blueprints” from “a place outside this Earth and its astral system.” Of course there is no way to objectively verify the effectiveness of the "healing instruments" that GWP sells for prices ranging from $450 to $7,600 or more.
