Cass Oakdown/Panopticon Dump Thread

[lb_lee]

Okay, this has happened enough times that I feel like it might prove useful.

Since I finished the Cultiples series, ex-followers of Panopticon's groups have been coming forward to speak to me.  There's been a decent few of them, and I thought it might be best for them to have a centralized place to share their stories, link-dump, and otherwise talk with each other, if they so desire.  Anon comments are turned on, and also screened, so that none will appear unless I specifically say so; if you want your words unscreened, just say so, otherwise they will remain hidden.  I will keep the comments moderated.

Panopticon has my blog staked out, and they may retaliate.  Be aware.

I will also use this as a centralized post to note those folks who have already come forward and stated they're okay with being public:

• Pigeon, Panopticon's former roommate's testimony. (And here's the thread where they said they were okay with it being public.) (EDIT: tumblr purged the post, so here is the archived version.)

Pigeon

[(Anonymous)]

Hey, all. It’s Pigeon. Feel free to reach out on Tumblr if you like. A number of people already have. I’ve been floored by the support but I’m also happy to provide it in return. My health is stabilizing and we’re getting the loose ends tied up. Once again I’m just so grateful to the people who have spoken the truth in spite of the harassment, as it helped us pull ourselves free. I truly hope that this is the wake up call the person who was once my cousin needs to grow up and get it together.

Update: my stuff has been removed by Tumblr for whatever reason. May be for the best. Just know you can reach out wherever you find HRH the Pigeon Royal online. And know that for all intents and purposes it appears the person once called Cass has learned absolutely nothing from the last few weeks, and is still out there. Protect yourselves, because even if they’re just a stupid kid with no resources, they can still cause emotional pain.

The reblogs still exist (https://inimitabletimedragon.tumblr.com/post/185158136944/cassandra-oakdown-a-cultiples-response#notes). So does a Google cache (https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:rGnc6RDfutgJ:https://hrhthepigeonroyal.tumblr.com/post/185143604408/lwymmd+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=opera) for now. And I have a local copy of the original. Can rehost if you want.

Pigeon here. Thank you to the people who went hunting in archives.

My wife and I haven’t heard from whatever-name-they’re-using since they collected their belongings. We’re happy about that. All I know about them now is that apparently at one point they slut-shamed my wife anonymously online because one time we had sex instead of listening to their QPP’s radio show with them. Apparently preferring the private company of your spouse to three hours on Discord voice chat of a kid in Ohio whining that their family’s vacation cabin didn’t have WiFi is “pathologically hypersexual.” That’s not a diagnosis, but when has whatever-the-frick ever placed any stock in other peoples’ expertise?

I’m happy to let the archive link stay up as a testament to what happened and how horribly it affected my family. I personally am moving on and won’t be devoting any further energy to them unless it becomes necessary. It’s saddening to hear they have gained zero self-awareness in the last few months, but not surprising. Thank you to everyone who provided support and who forgave me for the things I said and did while involved with them.

So did anyone else notice the weird overlap of Panopticon supporters and age regressors? I suspect that for Panopticon, encouraging followers to age regress was a way to exert even more control over their psyches. I only mention it now because I was expecting someone else to have talked about it by now and nobody did, so.

I hadn't noticed, because I didn't know age regression was a thing in that group. (Though it's a long-standing dysfunction in plural groups, just mostly I've seen it done in therapy.)

Also, your comment is currently screened so only I can see it. Would you like it unscreened?

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, please. Not certain why it was screened.

[lb_lee]

All the comments here are automatically screened, since some folks want to talk privately. Yours has been unscreened though, as has the one made after yours.

Panopticon’s Latest Cult Attempt

[(Anonymous)]

Under the names Calden Releth, Calden G. Sparrow, and Calden Sparrow, the system formerly known as Panopticon is currently attempting to promote a “micronation” and “reconstructionist tribunal temple” called New Velothis. Said “nation” claims land Calden has no claim to, invites legal minors to apply for citizenship, and drips with the same kind of BS GT did, just with different colors and a different fandom. They also continue to make forays into the pagan community where they live, and have added Thelema to their interests. Also, their almalexiaschild/Gabriel Gray reddit contains some startling incelese.

Calden is a terrible attempt at a con artist and cult leader, and honestly, at this point it seems at least partially intentional. They make no effort to truly hide their identity or activities, possibly because every “exposure” they experience can be used as further proof of what a victim they are and as an excuse to be depressed for another year or two and do nothing to get their life together. They make no effort to make amends with the people they have wronged, they send their dwindling followers after anyone who calls them out, they prey on the lonely and insecure, and they continue to try and create an insular community that revolves around them, validates them unconditionally, and that nets them fame and glory and passive income with little effort on their part. They cannot resist trying to create power, privilege, and persecution for themselves, no matter how many times it blows up in their face. This wouldn’t have been posted if it weren’t for the fact that they’re now actively recruiting minors into their attempted collective delusion.

Shared that others might know this information and use it for the greater good. This post is not a call to doxx or harass, but a notice to past and potential victims. If doxxing was the aim, that would’ve been done already and with far more sensitive information than a few public online profile links. This needs to be known. Calden Releth is an adult preying on teenagers and this information cannot be held privately in good conscience any longer. The holders of this information could not live with themselves if someone was irreversibly hurt in part due to their unwillingness to share it. Let Calden paint them as bullies and stalkers if they like; they are not the ones who continue to exhibit a disturbing disregard for others and complete lack of awareness of the effects of their actions. If Calden wants to truly start over, then they should truly start over, and not attempt the same things over and over again, cry the same tears each time it doesn’t work, and remain a five-minute Google search away from connection to their former personas.

Calden is believed to be located in Missouri now, exact location unknown. All in Oklahoma who dread encountering them need worry no longer.

Re: Panopticon’s Latest Cult Attempt

Still looking for hard corroboration. Personal communication at present. You are welcome to unscreen it and this.

What we can confirm is that they appear to be the driving, but unacknowledged, creative force behind an Arkn: Legacy character and plot.

https://thearknmythos.fandom.com/wiki/Marchosias_Aversen

Cursory viewing of their Tumblr reveals they seem to believe Marchosias is both connected to (but not the same as) Rassilon AND is the Goetic demon Marchosias. The Tumblr shannathesiren, which is referenced in their indorilblues Tumblr tagline, appears to be their RP blog as Marchosias’ innocent victim and “Acolyte.”

Their QPP also claims that Asmodeus is their headmate, and to our knowledge once claimed they were “adjacent” to the Archangel Michael, whatever in the name of all that is sharp and pointy that nonsense means. First claim is on Tumblr, second is personal communication.

What a surprise, Panopticon “join” a new sect, Thelema, and in a matter of weeks believe they know more about the spirits served by its longtime adherents than anyone else. What are over 100 years of history in the face of the awe-inspiring enlightenment of The Truine Way, a totally real thing that absolutely has more than 7 followers?

For the record; we are the only anons on this thread, and the anon who accidentally replied to AUK’s screened comment, and behind the link dump. We currently devote about five minutes every few days to following the breadcrumbs. We will continue to do so until we have no threads left to tug, or Panopticon shows true remorse. For the protection of the vulnerable.

Since we like drama, let’s just call ourselves the Riders.

Mississippi. In a town of less than 20k people. Since it’s MS we assume they are, in fact, with family, as they have stated. Funny, since they acted for so long like they couldn’t count on family. They plan to move to New Orleans. Source is a post made on a Facebook page for a well-known living history group. Screenshot in our possession.

Something to do while our nails dried.

[ghostridersonthestorm]

ae is their TikTok. Probably is them anywhere else you find that phrase, too, can’t find it anywhere else. Who knows wtf it means.

[lb_lee]

If I'm understanding the Elder Scrolls Online linguistics properly, it's Daedra for "is the hand of Ayem [Almalexia]."

The Hands of Almalexia are the personal guards of Almalexia, apparently. From the Wiki:

"The Hands are pledged to honor, protect, and serve Almalexia in all ways. [...] Some say the Hands are the most terrible mortal warriors in the world. [...] In the past they used to spend much of their time punishing criminals and protecting the people. Now they spend all their time protecting Almalexia. [...] Speaking to any of the Hands will have them express their undying loyalty towards Almalexia, after which they will send you on your way: 'We await the Goddess' command. Her word is our law. There is no time to speak with the likes of you.' If you are wearing the sacred cuirass and/or helmet, conversing with a Hand will have them stay their hand, unlike with other High Ordinators: 'You wear the sacred garb of the Ordinator, but you are not of the Order. I stay my hand solely at the Lady's discretion. Speak with me no more.'"

[ghostridersonthestorm]

If they’re not already privately calling themselves her consort/godspouse, they will be soon. We’d bet all 12 of our spurs on it. If we knew their address, we’d go ahead and mail them an Almalexia body pillow.

Greetings from The Riders

Yesterday we posted a several-part run-down of why exactly Panopticon qualifies as a cult leader and a destructive one. It was difficult to do both for us and for Pigeon, whose input was completely invaluable in creating it, as it couldn’t exist without her disclosures. We feel it is a fairly comprehensive argument as to why Panopticon is a cult leader, and if we may toot our own horns, we think it eviscerates them in a way they richly deserve.

After we fix some typos and omitted words and some of the flow, we will be taking a three-month hiatus from talking about Panopticon specifically unless they do something that we become aware of that cannot be ignored and must be passed on. Mostly, we will be working on turning our page primarily into a resource dump for people attempting to escape manipulation and emotional and psychological abuse.

Thank you all. We hope what we have done and whatever we do going forward proves helpful.

Going to assume you wanted this unscreened, based on content. Let me know if this is untrue.

[lb_lee]

Done, Pidge. Hope you're doing well and happy!

[lb_lee]

I think you intended this comment to be a response to someone, but it was posted all on its own. It's also screened, just a heads up, since that's my policy on this post, to keep the comments invisible to everyone but me unless stated otherwise.

[cosmicspacekid]

yeah, i did mean to reply to a comment of yours- apologies, i'm on mobile and it's a bit wonky at times as far as ui. it's cosmic by the way, you're okay to unscreen stuff for me.
