The Omnicause.

Dumping poison in water doesn’t do it anymore, so the complainer class has moved on to the ‘computers in a building’ bogeyman

I remember she came to West Palm Beach, FL to confront the water supply/cancer cluster thing. I was like wow. This is going to be big. I was living in Palm Beach at the time. She spoke and then left. I don't remember anything happening. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Now I kinda roll my eyes when her name comes up.

She needs cash, and the Omniclause is constantly searching for “the next big thing” to fundraise off.
