"Vegan Alien Cult" cafe has opened in Camden Town. [Loving Hut Plender Street]

anon | 26.03.2010 19:10 | Animal Liberation | Climate Chaos | Ecology | South Coast | World

A Vegan cafe the "Loving Hut"has opened in cafe and is being called "The Cult Cafe" by Camden people. The cafe is run by The Supreme Master Ching Hai a Nepalese group based from California. The vegan food is by donation and you cana eat all you want & pay what you like. While you are eating a TV channel talks about veganis, Buddhism and somehting else : Aliens and Life on Mars.



According to the Supreme Master Ching Hai TV channel Mars has no prisons, no fighting and everyone loves each other there. A chat show played in the cafe on the TV that is on all the time had members of the audience asking The Supreme Master Ching Hai : "Is it true at that men came from Mars and mated with the Earth women?" the Supreme Master Ching Hai replied "Yes".

The Supreme Master Ching Hai has printed lots of booklets, newsletters, gives away free DVDs etc if you want more information. The group supporting the Suprme Master promote veganism and saving Earth.
News No. 166 says on the front cover : "Help To Keep Our Spaceship Earth In A Powerful Position and "Vegetarian Diet In Space Voyage".

The group are also an envoromental and animal rights network. They believe in practising Buddhism, being vegan, that animal abusers are killers, that eating meat, fish and dairy is wrong and that some of us here on Earth are ALIENS.

There is a Supreme Master TV channel on SKY

Apologies for the typos.

The food itself is nice. The problem is that there is the danger of all sorts of nutters who will go in there for a free dinner, get sucked into a cult and will end up believing that "Aliens Have Taken Over Camden".

It's scary but worth a look for a laugh.

As for the people who think that the people in Camden who DON'T believe this alien shit are "Aliens themselves" or are "soooo funny"...or that we "can't see beyond our estates and streets" [to Mars]..there is no helping you and YOU are the ones who need help or that "need to go to the hospital".

Fucking hell.

Fuck off Mandy

The Tortoise Protection Group are part of this.

26.03.2010 22:26

There is an article in one of the Supreme Master newsletters about the "Tortoise Elder" being befriended by a Hippopotamus.

People who have been sent emails about the film Earthlings, aliens, animal rights etc have also been sent with info from the Tortoise Protection Group who appear to be connected with this.

There are blogs and artilces in the US and the UK that have simultaneous links to : Earthlings film, Annunaki aliens and the Tortoise Protection Group.

The TV channel in the Loving Hut cafe is very colourful [overly bright and garish actually] and this is similar to garish images sent to people in emails, myspace, through the post etc along with...Tortoise Protection Group info, aliens info, the film Earthlings and other weird things.

The frightening thing about this is that people like Keith Mann of the Animal Protection Party [and others] are joining in with it. On Keith's myspace there are links to Annunaki aliens sites, space sites etc. He spoke at an animal rights gathering about alien conspiracies and forgot about the animals according to bloggers. There is another group apparently in Camden called the Camden Sanity Brigade who believe in the alien theories and who claim to have links to the APP.

It would be funny if it wasn't for the fact that serious activists like Keith Mann have got involved. Unfortunately it's creepy and dangerous rather than funny.

This place sounds great! I like this idea that flesh-eaters are aliens it explains a lot. I don't think it's nice to try and put new vegan business's out of business by eating and not paying. How on earth will that help to spread veganism? I note there is no mention of the actual food being served here which I have heard from some who have been is DELICIOUS!!
I wonder which planet the author of this article comes from (Mandy Ford) and how she thinks she is helping the AR movement with these ridiculous and badly written articles.

I'm with Mandy Ford [or whoever wrote the article] on this! The cultcafe is mad!

27.03.2010 16:58

It might come as a horrible shock to the Mars people but the people that are going along with this alien shite are the ones damaging the AR movement.

What the hell is this alien cult all about?

A Camden person


Why knock others trying to help?

27.03.2010 18:18

I have been to a couple of these places in Australia, and they were really nice.

There was no talk of Aliens in the many times I went to eat cheep vegan food, and good folks into saving animals and the planet.

They also donated food to an animal rights campaign I was involved in, and the TV crew came down to do an article for the station.

Yeah Its got a bit of a culty vibe, but there is more then one way to stroke a cat! No one ever tried to recruit. Its also founded by some one from a different culture (Vietnamese) so thing might be a little different.

It has to be good that more vegan places are opening up, and a pay what you can place.

Lets not trash and spend energy bringing down people that are trying to do good, but in a different way. There are plenty of evil bastards to put our energy into.

Well fed non- alien believing Vegan

Where do they get their money from?

27.03.2010 18:50

At Copenhagen these people were handing out 'goodybags' all around the Bella Centre which contained, amongst other things, a huge glossy hardback book "The Birds in my Life" - 300 pages of garish photos of birds, and of the Supreme Master Ching Hai with the birds, accompanied by banal and cheesy "poems". They must've had thousands of these things, which must've cost tens of thousands to publish - where's the bunce coming from?

Scrumpy


Theyre mad!

27.03.2010 19:12

Yes this people were outside the Bella Centre handing out books every single day. They also had 'dogs of my life'. These were the weirdest books I have ever seen! They had thousands and they were good quality books too! I used them as presents for my friends :D Who thought they were shit, of course.

 http://sustainabledev.org/2009/12/11/day-4-cop15-supreme-master-ching-hai-is-angry-with-climate-cutting-carnivores/

They gave out many thousands of books, and seemed to have brought them from themselves... http://www.prleap.com/pr/103003/

They did seem a cult.

Strange things

They return!!


POGO, Inspiral, Manna, Beatroot and there's a couple of vegan places in Soho

27.03.2010 20:59

You're better off in those places rather than joining an alien cult. Manna, Beatroot and Inspiral etc are just normal cafes and restaurants. POGO has more of a social centre feel to it and is back to normal but better since the storm in a teacup. It has a bookshop, a library, a clothes swap, sofas, dogs are let in and Daft is the best.

Manna is quite expensive but is OK for the posher amongst us. Inspiral has DJs, Beatroot is a cafe in the thick of things in SOHO....all of these are great places that don't make vegans seem like cultists or crazies.

The alien cult cafe is dodgy..the vegan / environment side of things is a hook. A cult is a cult at the end of the day.

For cult read : Manson Family, Waco, Moonies, Scientologists etc....it's bad enough that AR people and vegans are seen as "mad" without adding a cult to the mix. The Daily Mail will have field day with this alien cult place. Shame on all those people that are joining in and defending it...you are harming the animals and the promotion of veganism.

If we really want veganism to go mainstream then an alien cult cafe is not the way to go about it.

bitch


I don't care how "badly written" article is, the cult is weird. Avoid.

27.03.2010 21:50

The priority is safeguarding a community, teenagers, students and looking after AR and the animals. A cult that bangs on about aliens will achieve none of this. Everyone in Camden is calling the Loving Hut "the cafe that is run by a cult" so a cult it is. Most people eating in there were laughing at the strange TV show and then the woman running the place tried to throw everybody on our table out because we were talking amongst ourselves.

Camden has enough weirdos, drugs and so on as it is without this cult cafe making AR people look like cultists and cranks.

An attack on someone for having an opinion is typical cult behaviour. People who get drawn into cults regress into childish behaviour, mirror each other and will lash out at critics in a way that is very out of proportion to the criticism. [See the Scientologists]

Few parents would want their teenagers in Loving Hut.

27.03.2010 22:43

Mandy Ford, aka 'Bitch' and 'Anon' - why are you trying to portray that the Loving Hut is run by animal rights activists? This is simply not true and another dilution on your part.

They promote veganism on a number of different points, anmal welfare, environmental, health benefits etc. Call them a cult or whatever you like, but at the end of the day the number of times I have been in there, in groups, we've never been kicked out for talking loudly, laughing etc and never seen anything on the t.v. about aliens.

I am not saying I believe in the 'Supreme leader', infact quite the opposite, but you can't carry on talking rubbish that is not even true. Get your facts right Mandy, no wonder you're banned by concession from AR gatherings and demo's!

Hmmmmm

Re : The Loving Hut & why I walked away from most of AR over two years ago.

28.03.2010 02:14

The Loving Hut does in fact play talk shows about aliens and plenty of people have seen them. Anyone who wants to see the newsletter that contains the articles about the Earth being called a "spaceship" can get one from the Loving Hut. It's number 166.

As for my "being banned by concession" [the word you are looking for is concensus] from demos and gatherings, I walked away from AR scene over two years ago and most people who know me know that. I do in fact still go to some demos and have never been banned or asked to leave. If you are referring to a one off SHAC demo recently I went there specifically to see someone and that was it. Prior to this I decided two years ago not to go on demos or go to gatherings any more as people know. Other people walked away from the AR scene also. Some of those people continue to cmapaign, just not with people from the "AR scene".
I did in fact refuse to go to a gathering when asked if I would come by some activists and then chose not to go to any any more. This was some time ago, nearly three years ago. I chose to walk away as have other people.
I have written to newspapers since then [those letters were published] and have said that my reasons for opposing the lab are safety ie virus leaks, terror attack and concerns as to how an AR campaign might affect Camden and that these were reasons to oppose the lab. Some people don't like the fact that I did this but my concerns are shared locally. Most people locally share these concerns about the lab and how it and a consequent AR camapign will affect locals.
Many people living in Camden do not want to join an AR campaign but are against the lab on safety grounds. The lab has been criticised by MI5, MPs, councillors, scientists from the NIMR, businessses and residents. Some residents [at residents meetings] have even said that the reason they oppose the lab is because they don't want an AR campaign in Camden.
Another reason for concern around the lab is that the consortium have repeatedly stated that they are "building the lab because of the high incidence of TB in the area" which has caused worry and concern for the community here and for many people this is their priority..how the lab plans affect them.
Residents who have already been affected by the 7/7 bombings do not want the lab because of terror attack fears.
The other people in the residents campaigns agree that these are the concerns.
The people in our group [residents, non residents, vegans and non vegans] are agreed that virus leaks, terror attacks, accidents at the lab, housing on the site instead of a lab etc, animal cruelty and how AR campaigns might affect the area in Camden are the priority.
Where safety is concerned the lab site for example has little room around it for evacuation which is another reason to oppose planning permission.
There have been several group meetings to discuss the lab campaign.
I have never once been banned from a single one of these local residents meetings or campaigns. In fact I am asked to go to them.
We are not campaigning with the people from the "AR scene" and never were, although some of our campaigners priority is animal testing most are opposed to the lab on safety grounds.
None of you have attended the UKCMRI meetings about the lab or the major residents lab meetings held in London etc. We have done.

As I have said right from the beginning with the Camden Biocontainment lab campaign it's not an AR campaign. Some of the people are vegan and some are not, some eat meat and are opposed to the lab for their own reasons.

As for will the "real Mandy Ford please stand up"....I can be against animal testing without having to be involved with any specific AR group. There are AR groups that do not campaign with each other ie PETA, Viva!, Uncaged etc. I can campaign with people whose reasons for campaigning against the lab are not necessarily AR.
I can see how building the lab in Camden would be a disaster for Camden and that a big AR campaign would be bad for Camden. These opinions are shared by other people who don't want an AR campaign here, a lab here. There are those who abhor animal cruelty but don't want to be involved with any of the AR campaigns. That doesn't mean that they have "conflicting opinions".
People oppose the lab for different reasons and we support those people, whatever their reason is for opposing the lab.

28.03.2010 14:57

I agree with Mandy Ford. It was Alan Buttle that caused problems at the SUMAC center and was banned for life not Mandy Ford. The AR people have even caused the co op at POGO to walk out. I think that it is them who should be ostracised. The AR movement is getting nothing but bad press and this alien movement is the final nail in the coffin for AR.

Mandy IS banned from demos

28.03.2010 17:52

I am an activist that does demos around London, and I can tell you without any doubt that Mandy Ford is banned from attending any demonstrations connected with London Animal Rights. This is because she causes problems with her outragious, distructive and downright slanderous posts on internet websites including this one. Mandy is a laughing stock among animal rights people and I don't know anyone who will give her time of day any more. This is probably why she spends almost her entire life on shacwatch and indymedia because no-one will actually talk to her face to face any more. Mandy does nothing to help animal rights and yet she is so obsessed with infiltrators. Well if everyone was as active as Mandy it wouldn't matter if there were infiltrators or not - because she doesn't do anything!!

the old co-op were too interested in straight politics for our liking and collaborating with carnivores lacto-veggies etc whereas we are well aware of the alien conspiracy cover up and the protocols of the elders of zion

Keith is fully behind David Icke, the 9/11 truthers etc and has some helpful links on his website you check the links here  http://www.fromdusktildawn.org.uk/links.html

Rather aliens on mars than angels in my bedroom

28.03.2010 19:32

lets not jump the gun too much with loving hut....... a mad cult because the manager believes there are vegans living on mars?
Bloody barmy if you ask me.
Ok so the manager tells other people about it in the hope they will follow this cult/religion........ but at the end of the day people can make up their own minds? And how much more far fetched is this than angels walking the earth or a god watching out for us all, or the second coming, or being promised 7 virgins in heaven and eternal life. Why single out this religion so much?
And least us not forget this religion gave 10,000 quid the other month to the Haiti appeal and sent people out there to feed people. All religion is shit in my eyes to be honest but i can think of most other religions who are worse than this one

Mad as hatters the loving hut crew are....... but the burgers are amazing and so is the price of the food

mr burger


It's 73 virgins not 7. Loving Hut is a cult. Cults are dangerous.

28.03.2010 19:58

Yes, the food is nice and it's cheap ; ) but the problem is, it's a cult. Cults can lead to , exploitation and abuse. Cults have been known to violently attack or persecute those who try to leave, speak out against them etc.

Camden has enough problems with impressionable teens, runaways, drugs etc without a cult in the town.

Just adding to the list above of Pogo cafe and the rest - VX 73 Caledonian Road N1 has a map of veg restaurants in its part of Camden on its web site as well as being a cafe, a lounge and a shoe shop. You may know it as Secret Society of Vegans but I suspect they may be tong-in-cheek about being a secret cult.

Scientists have not yet made up their minds on this one so who are you to dismiss it outright?
Prahlad Jani is being held in isolation in a hospital in Ahmedabad, Gurjarat, where he is being closely monitored by India's defence research organization.
So far, Mr Prahlad appears to be standing up to scrutiny. He has not eaten or drunk any fluids in six days, and similarly has not passed urine or a stool in that time. He remains fit and healthy and shows no sign of lethargy. Doctors will continue observing him for 15 days in which time they would expect to see some muscle wastage, serious dehydration, weight loss,and fatigue followed by organ failure.

It is common in India for Jains and Hindus to fast, sometimes for up to eight days, without any adverse affects, as part of their religious worship.

I note that the article ends rather swiftly and inconclusively. They are telling us nothing. How much weight loss is 'slight'? After 15 days fasting I would expect to lose up to a stone!!! Hardly surprising coming from the Telegraph though. Wouldn't want to stop those consumers consuming would they. Gotta help the economy you know!!!
