you're history: the unarius academy of science
by Alex Burns (alex@disinfo.com) - March 03, 2001
Banding together throughout the years, old and new followers have continued to produce confirmations of the prophecy's fulfillment by acting out scenes for filmed psychodramas and giving testimonials at weekly meetings . . . While the society-at-large may scoff at the unreality of Unarian claims, followers will continue to maintain their reality, despite seemingly irrefutable evidence to the contrary, through the process of mundane reason.
~~ Diana Tumminia, Sociology of Religion, 1998

The most important thing Ruth left Unarius was the prophecy of the arrival of the Space Brothers in 2001 . . . Ultimately, the outcome of this prophecy, rather than Spiegel, will determine Unarius' survival.
~~ Ross Hoffman, Religious Movements Homepage
