The Barbara Marx Hubbard Network: Conscious Evolution, Sex Cults, and Intelligence Operations

Summary of John Klyczek's Investigation - July 1, 2025

Executive Summary

John Klyczek's three-year investigation reveals Barbara Marx Hubbard as a central figure connecting New Age spirituality, transhumanism, alleged sex cults, and intelligence operations through her gospel of "conscious evolution." The web of connections spans NXIVM, Tibetan Buddhist groups, The Finders cult, and various intelligence-linked operations.

Key Revelations

The Malthusian Vision of Population Elimination

Hubbard's most disturbing prophecy appears in her unpublished manuscript The Revelation: Alternative to Armageddon:

"one-fourth" of the population, who are "defective seeds," must "be eliminated from the social body" by "the riders of the pale horse" during a "quantum shift."

At Crestone, Colorado, Hubbard delivered a chilling message:

"Barbara Marx Hubbard declared all Crestonians would survive the Great Shift, the coming apocalypse she had been predicting for years, because she told them they were the more evolved race in this sacred place. The rest would be scorched as bad seeds."

NXIVM Connection

Hubbard explicitly endorsed NXIVM sex cult leader Nancy Salzman in her book Birth 2012 and Beyond:

  • Listed Salzman as an "ally" of her Birth 2012 Campaign
  • Promoted the NXIVM website directly: "www.nxivm.com"
  • Included NXIVM through the Transformational Leadership Council as an "Affiliated Organization"

Context: Salzman was later convicted of "racketeering conspiracy" and served as Keith Raniere's "right hand for more than a decade" in operating a sex trafficking cult that branded women.

The Finders Cult Intelligence Connection

The investigation reveals The Finders cult helped Hubbard organize her Synergistic Convergence (SYNCON) conferences:

"some of the Finders rendezvoused with former MIT Professor William Irwin Thompson, who propositioned the Finders to broker investments into his Lindisfarne Association"

Intelligence Links:

  • Associated Press reported "the CIA" had "admitted to owning the Finders organization as a front for a domestic computer training operation"
  • Finders founder Marion Pettie confirmed he "kept open house mainly to intelligence and counterintelligence people in Washington"
  • An anonymous memo stated Pettie "surrounded himself with 'kooks' so that he could infiltrate the 'beat,' human potential, and now the New Age movements"

Military Psychological Operations Connection

Lieutenant Colonel Michael Aquino's PSYOP manual lists Hubbard's World Future Society as a "forecasting resource" alongside the CIA. Aquino was:

  • Author of military psychological operations manuals
  • Investigated for child sexual abuse involving alleged Satanic rituals
  • Founder of the Temple of Set (Satanic organization)

The CosmoErotic Evolution

Marc Gafni, current president of Hubbard's Foundation for Conscious Evolution, despite being accused of sexually assaulting two underage girls, now promotes "CosmoErotic Humanism":

"a new sexual narrative" that exalts "Eros [a]s the deepest Reality of Cosmos, the pulse of evolution, the universal energy of emergence, intimacy, and wholeness"

Hubbard herself endorsed this approach, writing the foreword to Gafni's book and stating:

"Marc Gafni [a]s a rising star . . . paving the way for a new psychology and spirituality for evolving humanity to fulfill our enormous potential"

Tibetan Buddhist Tantric Connections

At Crestone, Colorado - funded by Laurance Rockefeller - Hubbard connected with Tibetan Buddhist groups accused of sexual abuse:

"at the core of Tibetan Lamaism are secretive Tantric sects that practice the occultic sex rituals of Dzogchen"

Dalai Lama Connections:

  • The Dalai Lama wrote the foreword to NXIVM leader Keith Raniere's book
  • Spoke at a 2009 NXIVM satellite event, arranged by Sara Bronfman
  • Has been a longtime CIA asset, receiving $1.7 million yearly during the 1950s-60s

The Luciferian Philosophy

Hubbard's spiritual philosophy explicitly embraces Luciferian concepts:

From The Revelation: Alternative to Armageddon:

"Two evolved Sons of God, Lucifer and Christ, were actual beings sent to nurture godly beings on Earth. Lucifer attracted Eve to do what she naturally would have done — become self-conscious."

From The Hunger of Eve:

"When I first read Genesis in my youth, I was on Eve's side. I thought she was right to eat the apple of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil — I would have! It was worth the suffering to struggle out of animal innocence to become human"

Transhumanist Fourth Industrial Revolution Goals

The Foundation for Conscious Evolution's current website still promotes:

"synergistic" transhuman evolution driven by "[t]he advent of radical evolutionary technologies such as biotechnology, nanotechnology, quantum computing, space exploration, etc. . . . We can and are actually moving beyond the creature human condition toward a new species, a universal humanity"

Network Analysis

Common Denominators

  1. Human Potential Psychology - Abraham Maslow's concepts used across NXIVM, Hubbard's work, and various cults
  2. Tantric Sexual Practices - Present in Tibetan groups, Gafni's work, and various accused organizations
  3. Intelligence Connections - CIA, military PSYOP units, and private intelligence firms
  4. Sustainable Development - UN Agenda 2030, World Economic Forum connections
  5. Multi-Level Marketing Structures - NXIVM, various "consciousness" movements

Geographic Nexus: Crestone, Colorado

  • Funded by Laurance Rockefeller and Maurice Strong
  • Hub for Tibetan Buddhist groups accused of sexual abuse
  • Location where Hubbard preached population elimination concepts
  • Connected to UN Agenda 21 sustainable development initiatives

Investigative Conclusions

Klyczek's investigation suggests:

"Whether a circuitous stratagem or the spontaneous convergence of imbricating ideologies and organizations, the synergistic legacy of Hubbard's Tantric, Satanic, and intel-PSYOP associations is reified in the encroaching 4IR machinations of globalist technocrats whose transhumanist reimagining of the future emerges from an arcane sacralization of conscious Luciferian evolution instilled with sexual mysticism."

The pattern reveals potential psychological operations using New Age spirituality, sexual manipulation, and transhumanist ideology to advance technocratic control systems under the guise of human evolution and spiritual development.

Key Players Network

Central Figure: Barbara Marx Hubbard Current Leader: Marc Gafni (accused child abuser) Cult Connections: Nancy Salzman (NXIVM), Marion Pettie (The Finders), Various Tibetan Lamas Intelligence Figures: Lt. Col. Michael Aquino, Lt. Col. Jim Channon, CIA operatives Financiers: Laurance Rockefeller, Bronfman family, Maurice Strong Religious Figure: The Dalai Lama (CIA asset)

This investigation exposes a concerning network where spiritual movements, sexual abuse, intelligence operations, and transhumanist ideology converge around the concept of "conscious evolution" - potentially serving as a psychological operation to advance technocratic global governance systems.
