UCADIA

Ucadia is a secretive movement revolving around the work of Frank O'Collins, which mixes mysticism and pseudolaw and more. In earlier years some of its beliefs and messages were more openly on display, including on a host of sister sites such as "one-heaven.org", "one-evil.org", "one-Islam.org", "heal-the-earth.org", "euro-union.org", "restorelaw.org" and many others. Unfortunately verified information online about the organization is limited, including the size and scope of its membership and activities. In 2016, the organization embraced secrecy, and various websites were taken down.ucadia.org, archived 2016-07-12. "As of SOL E1:Y4:A35:S3:M9:D5 [13th of June 2016] Ucadia became a confidential organisation with the myriad of satellite sites that once made-up the open source Ucadia network being taken down." The main website returned in 2020.
The Ucadia main website seems to promote O'Collins' highly bizarre system of religious and economic beliefs, and includes links to the many sister sites which are full of similar incoherent blather. On older versions, it described its mission statement as:
O'Collins has insisted that "Nothing about UCADIA can possibly be considered a cult whatsoever", which is a bad sign. O'Collins also referred to his critics as "Skeptics, disinformation agents, mentally ill supporters of the parasitoids", another red flag.
==Beliefs==
The old websites were mostly filled with nearly incomprehensible New Age-sounding mumbo jumbo (think Timecube but slightly more coherent). This makes it hard to even discern what exactly the organization believes. The websites seem to hint at conspiracy theories, some making vague references to the Illuminati, New World Order. They also make mention of the evils of the current "Roman" legal and banking system run by global elites ("Roman" apparently referring to the Catholic Church, which they also frequently refer to as the "Roman Cult"). They also mention a long-lasting war in Heaven between angels and demons (which was finally brought to an end by "United States of Spirits of One Heaven" - allegedly resulting in the destruction of Hell, thereby guaranteeing the salvation of all mankind... or something). They do not seem to worry about presupposing Catholic metaphysics while denouncing all the religion's institutions. The sites definitely don't fit the bill of your run-of-the-mill conspiracy theory website, and are definitely bizarre enough to merit a class of their own. Here's a sample tidbit:
===Pseudolaw===
Frank O'Collins and his UCADIA were among the first to import Organized Pseudolegal Commercial Arguments (OPCA) to Australia. O'Collins appears to believe that man-made law is based on black magic. Like some but not all pseudolaw promoters, he ties legal success to spiritual freedom, and the power of judges and courts to magic. Through idiosyncratic analysis of words and language, combined with typical "freeman on the land" ideas, he's "figured out" ways that people can, in his imagination, win.Early OPCA Influence in Australia - Freeman Delusion. 2018 article on promoters of Organized Pseudolegal Commercial Arguments, with an extensive section about Ucadia.How To Make a Judge Run Out Of The Court Room, YouTube (copy of deleted video with Frank O'Collins's pseudolaw "explanation")
