Interesting read. There are some wacky things on the web.
I read that earlier. What’s weird to me is how ‘public’ it has become despite it’s attempt at secrecy. The one account from a former ‘member’ was interesting:
One long, cautionary diatribe, left anonymously on the website Pastebin, claimed to be from an ex-Cicada member – a non-English military officer recruited to the organisation "by a superior”. Cicada, he said, "was a Left-Hand Path religion disguised as a progressive scientific organisation” – comprising of "military officers, diplomats, and academics who were dissatisfied with the direction of the world”. Their plan, the writer claimed, was to transform humanity into the Nietzschen Übermensch.
