Crazy Fame | On the 1 January 2015, my husband Biggi and I, launched Conscious Consumer Network, a live broadcast network specifically designed for independent media. Over the past 6 years, we have worked with various people / broadcasters from all over the world, all of some of whom have hosted guests from a vast spectrum of experiential backgrounds, whilst exploring information commonly not dealt with in mainstream media circles.
GROUND BREAKING CONTENT
There have been many broadcasters who have come and gone within the CCN family, the vast majority of them having left on good terms and for various personal and developmental reasons, and we still stay in touch with them and follow their journey. These people have shared so much with us, and we are forever bonded by the virtuous circle of learning, and the common pursuit of a free, fair, peaceful, just, sustainable, non-toxic world. Over the years, we have had the great opportunity to meet and work with some of the most incredible people of our time.
QUESTIONABLE CHARACTERS
We have also come across some very questionable characters, many of which we have had to retract support for after realising the damage they cause. Indeed, being the Creative and Content Director for Conscious Consumer Network, has always been a very pressurised emotional roller coaster, as running a full time online TV network, is no easy feat, and requires a great deal of resources, patience, skill and emotional intelligence. In fact, we took a break for a few months at the end of 2019, but came back in June this year, and we have been at it ever since, in a much more moderate capacity. Running such a network is emotionally draining, as there are always so many complications in dealing with controversial topics and even more controversial people. No matter how good our intentions are, there is always some sticky situation that we are faced with handling, quite often, in the public eye, and no matter what decision we make, we are faced with scrutiny.
THE WORST OF THE BUNCH
There have at times been those broadcasters with whom we parted ways due to their toxic personalities and the vast trail of damage and karmic debris left in their wake. Indeed, media is a magnet for fame crazy people with a deluded, over inflated sense of self importance. Some of these types actually cause quite a lot of damage, as they are so utterly narcissistic, that they do vary careless and stupid things, and often innocent people get hurt, and many more onlookers taken for a ride. One such person is Angela Power Disney, a former broadcaster on our network that is currently under investigation by police, and is facing criminal charges on multiple counts, including repeatedly publishing / posting / distributing of images and details of minors, without the consent of their parent, particularly the two children at the heart of the Hampstead Christchurch School scandal.
Working with Angela Power Disney was challenging for various reasons:
Firstly, Angela brought us into the attention sphere of a really dedicated band of trolls and haters, who have made endless videos taunting and teasing us ever since, attacking anything they can, simply because our network dared to work with Angela Power Disney, and despite the fact that I have distanced myself from the controversial subjects such as the Hampstead Christchurch School scandal, these trolling haters persist. But most importantly and most tragically, Angela brought some very questionable guests onto the network, including a man called Arthur, who ended up in a psych ward shortly after coming onto a live broadcast as Angela’s guest on Conscious Consumer Network, whilst advocating the physical abuse of children as a punitive measure, live on air. Of course, this is something that we as a network, could not stand by, which was hard for us, as we always stand by our broadcasters, unless there is actual proof of loss and harm by said broadcaster, and in this case, I felt that Arthurs message / narrative, was not constructive as it advocated violence towards children. Needless to say, Angela did not care what sort of crazy she brought onto the network as a guest, as long as what said crazy spoke about, in some way backed Angela’s crusade narrative. Arthur was the last guest that Angela Power Disney had on our network, and that was when we decided that we could no longer work with a person who lacked discernment and was very biased in favour of Satanic Ritual Abuse narratives, whilst conveniently ignoring facts that did not suit her narrative.
MY STANCE ON SRA
I personally know that there is such a thing as Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA), having written on this subject extensively in my own books. However there are also those who use the SRA narrative as an attention seeking mechanism. This is a fact, and I have personally explored and exposed several such cases including that of the Hollie Greig case. I had offered Angela the opportunity to look at evidence or speak to witnesses in the Hollie Greig case, but she had point blank refused, as said testimony / evidence would be disruptive to her narrative. Indeed, Angela’s external locus of identity was completely immersed in her persona of being an exposer of Satanic Ritual Abuse and abusers, so much so that she was totally removed from all journalistic objectivity towards the subject matter, thus lacking the fundamental orientation and level headedness required of a journalist engaging in investigating such devastating subject matters, particularly since it became more and more obvious as time went on, that Angela had a mental and emotional imbalance.
SIGNS OF MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS
Furthermore, the one thing that I simply can not abide as a devout truth advocate, is a compulsive liar. Angela Power Disney has made up so many stories about who she claims to be, having been a model, a secret assassin program survivor, former military intelligence etc etc.
Angela’s own daughter has posted You Tube videos talking about the abuse she received as a child at the hands of her mother. When one’s own children come out publicly against one’s bid for Crazy Fame, then you know there is something wrong.
Angela has also made public the fact that she has in recent years, spent some time in rehab, as a result of substance abuse issues, this of course being indicative of mentally unstable people.
Angela Power Disney had created a category of fame that became a pattern in Alternative Media, being the Crazy Fame phenomenon, the kind of fame where nobody actually takes you seriously, they just watch your news feed to see what crazy thing you will come up with next. It is a morbid sort of curiosity, breeding an entire genre of online sicophantic, soul sick, hate addict trolls, with nothing better to do than hate on people more pathetic than them. They feed on the dark energy of people like Angela Power Disney, inadvertently adulating through hatred, the very people they despise, with much energy and online space being dedicated to hateful posts and videos. In her arrogance, Angela Power Disney does not even realise that she is food for this tribe of cyber cannibals. Oh yes, there is a large and extended tribe that love to hate Angela.
LEAVING CCN
When Angela left our network, she was sent a link to a content sharing platform, where she could download all her content that was broadcast on our network, which had all the branding and promotional material removed, and had only her broadcast footage. Angela never accessed the link and she never downloaded this footage. This was back in the beginning of 2017. Since parting ways with Angela Power Disney, I have been subjected to the kind of indignities that I have not yet experienced at the hands of another broadcaster. Angela took it upon herself to publish private correspondence between us, which is a total “no no” in my book. I have very clear lines and boundaries about what I put in the public, and what I put in the private domain. Respect for privacy is one of the basic fundamental human rights that we are all entitled to, and thus, I never publish private correspondence between myself and my broadcasters. Being the kind of person that lacks integrity and likes to fight dirty, Angela forwent any etiquette and common decency, and just went nuclear. Angela created as much damage to us as she felt she had the power to do, when she left, with much lamenting in articles she wrote, on social media posts, and in You Tube videos. Oh yes, she made a noise! Angela kicked and screamed as she was removed from the CCN family, in the most undignified manner.
CCN CO-OPERATION WITH POLICE
Fast forward to 2020, and much has happened. Sabine Mc Neil was arrested and went to prison for the same charges that Angela is facing, being the distribution of details and images of minors without the permission of their legal guardians… among other things. During the investigation process into Sabine Mc Neil, we were contacted by Steve Martin, the police detective investigating this entire case, and he asked us to hand over any material that Sabine Mc Neil has broadcast via our network, as it was no longer available in our archives, having been removed by ourselves, due to the ongoing investigation. We complied with the request to hand over footage to the police in London, as Conscious Consumer Network will never hamper a police investigation. In much the same way, when the police approach us to hand over all the video content produced by Angela Power Disney, we will be co-operating with them in their investigation. In the mean time, we have removed all of Angela Power Disney’s content, whilst there is an investigation ongoing.
In recent weeks, Angela Power Disney, has gone about re-uploading all her Conscious Consumer Network produced content, onto her You Tube channel. We do not follow Angela’s You Tube channel, nor any other of her social media outlets. We were notified by You Tube that someone has uploaded content that matched our copyrighted material.
THE COPYRIGHT ISSUE
From the outset of setting up Conscious Consumer Network, I had never wanted to copyright any of our material, as I believed and still do, that information is the common heritage of all beings, and not the exclusive intellectual property of those who can afford it. But after several incidences where third party channels and platforms were uploading our content, whilst making advertising revenue from said content, without our knowledge and consent, and we were not receiving any financial renumeration, we had to change our tactic, and we registered all our content with You Tube to avoid such incursions by unethical third parties. In effect, people were stealing our work and profiting from it, and we could do nothing about it other than to register our content for copy rights. And thus, we sadly made the decision at a certain point to copyright all our content, as we wanted to be able to control what gets done with our content, and by whom. This has never been about the control of our content, just the avoidance of misappropriation of said content.
Angela Power Disney was issued numerous copyright strikes by You Tube, against the content that was uploaded to her channel. Then, instead of contacting us to negotiate sorting this matter out (because there is always a solution with us if matters are dealt with politely), Angela decided to broadcast her woes to the world in her usual hostile and ugly manner. The content of Angela’s rantings went on to attack our network, to attack our marriage, to attack anything that she felt she could in order to weaken us or do damage to us in the eyes of the public, whilst using false or misconstrued narratives… the typical tactic of a psychopathic narcissist.
PRODUCTION COSTS & SERVICES ON CCN
Angela Power Disney alleged that she had paid for that content she had broadcast on Conscious Consumer Network, and that she was entitled to it. Simple fact is, broadcasters pay for production services of a production team, and Angela was provided those services she paid for, and even got some airtime for free.
REVOCATION OF USAGE OF CCN BRANDED CONTENT
Due to the ongoing investigation into Angela Power Disney, we made a decision as a network that at no point is Angela entitled to use content with our branding, (including but not limited to, fundraising and promotional campaigns on) in order to promote herself. We allow broadcasters to use said content at our own discretion, but at any point, if it becomes damaging to the network to promote someone, we reserve the right to revoke usage of our branding in association with any questionable individual. We had in the past offered Angela copies of all her content minus the branding and advertising, as we did not wish to have our branding and network further associated to Angela Power Disney, but she did nothing to obtain this content at the time from the content sharing platform we created for her unbranded content. Rather we are now faced with a situation where Angela has decided to re-upload all her CCN produced content, with branding and promotional campaigns, to You Tube.
ONGOING POLICE INVESTIGATION INTO ANGELA POWER DISNEY
As there is an ongoing police investigation into Angela Power Disney, we simply can not have any of our branding and content visible online along side Angela Power Disney, as we do not wish to hamper or influence a police investigation. We are acting under advice from legal professionals, and we are working in full co-operation with investigating police officers.
ATTACKING MY MARRIAGE
Angela Power Disney also attacked my marriage, making all sorts of irrelevant claims about my marriage of 20 years, including mentioning that I only married my husband for a visa, a sort of Green Card or arranged marriage situation. That is a very negative and prosaic interpretation. Let me put this matter straight by saying that Biggi and I were in a committed loving relationship at the time that we got married, and we have plenty of photos to prove it. I have always admit that we rushed the marriage process in order to apply for my right to reside in the UK as the spouse of an EU national. I had been working and living in the UK on a working holiday visa, when I met Biggi, and my visa was about to expire, hence why we had to move fast. Biggi and I loved each other, we could not bare the thought that I would have to leave and go back to South Africa, thus bringing an end to our relationship. Had I not been on a South African passport, and not had the pressures of expiring documents, I would probably have gotten married several years later.
That all being said, after all these years, Biggi and have lived together and have been in a loving and committed relationship for almost 20 years, and to be honest, the paperwork requirement details of how we got married, seem quite irrelevant and inconsequential to us all these years later. How we are and the relationship we have, works for us, and we are most proud of the fact that we have been able to keep our marriage together despite many ups and downs, and particularly through the pressure of our current climate, where many relationships are breaking down… And to be honest, it actually has nothing to do with Angela, or anybody else. These are my private affairs, and they are nobody else’s business, and the fact that Angela made it everyone’s business, just shows how low this woman really is, and how low she will sink in order to hurt people…. not that we are hurt, we have just laughed it off.
NO MANNERS
At no point has Angela Power Disney ever attempted to contacts us via private message on Facebook or via our various online portals and emails. She is fully aware of Biggi’s Facebook account, as she used a very recent image of Biggi posted onto Facebook, in her video attacking us. Angela is a drama lama who wants the entire world to see her as a victim, and to feel sorry for her. All Angela ever had to do was to send us a discreet, polite message with her request, and we would have entered into a dialogue and reached a solution. But Angela Power Disney is so self entitled, that she believes that she can attempt to scandalise us and our marriage, and then expect that we should still jump to her tune and demands of us. A lesson to you Angela Power Disney, manners goes a long way!
YOU TUBE CHANNEL DELETED
After receiving the copyright strikes issued by You Tube, Angela had several days to remove the offending content, or risk having her channel deleted. She knew this risk she ran if she did not comply with You Tube. But instead of taking the the offending content down, and perhaps communicating with us in a civil manner to get this matter resolved ammicably, Angela wrote a hostile and aggressive letter to You Tube, making all sorts of threats. In the end, You Tube made the call to delete Angela Power Disney’s entire You Tube channel. This was not our intention of our doing. We found out by the many congratulatory messages, comments and videos we have received from people who are all happy to see Angela Power Disney’s You Tube channel be taken down after years of harassing innocent people with her deluded, crazy rantings. Had Angela just co operated and communicated in a pleasant way, perhaps the deletion of her channel could have been avoided.
On that note, I would like to say that this is the first You Tube channel of any present or former CCN broadcaster, that has ever been deleted resulting from copy right strikes that have been issued against CCN produced content. Despite the many colourful and controversial people we have had the pleasure of hosting, and despite the many complicated subjects and situations through which we have had to navigate, this is the first, and hopefully the last incident of such a nature.
Below is one of the video responses to the removal of Angela Power Disney’s You Tube channel:

I have to laugh at Angela’s egotistical threat: “Vengence is mine says the Lord… I will repay”
Forgive my ignorance, but I thought Christianity was about forgiveness, not vengeance. I sincerely doubt that the Lord gives much of a damn about your You Tube channel Angela. There are far bigger concerns in the world. As much as I try to tolerate people who follow a religion, I disdain people who used religion as a very thin veneer of pseudo respectability. Angela views anybody who does not subscribe her religion as evil or satanic, and she has in fact previously mentioned that she had proof that my family were satanists… Of course Angela had no proof of her claims, and none has ever been presented. Honestly, Angela Power Disney gives Christianity a bad name.
Please note one of the comments on the above video:
“… Angie, in a recent video she made, attempted to scandalize Mel and Biggi’s marriage, and then, a couple of minutes later, in the very same video, she had the brass neck to ask Mel and Biggi for a favor in regards the CCN owned videos, that Angie had on her own channel. Its hardly a surprise that Angie’s channel is gone now lol “
I keep reading comments online where people are saying that it is ironic that it is us who finally managed to get Angela’s You Tube channel deleted, considering that we were the one’s who brought Angela to international fame on our network. Yes indeed, the irony is not lost on me.
When Angela first put out that video attempting to scandalise my husband and I, and to discredit our network, I wrote the below article. I am not sure if Angela saw it, but I thought it would be worth while to post it here…
I further discussed the entire matter regarding Angela Power Disney, in this interview I did with Eilish De Avalon on Monday 23 November 2020, where I give a frank account of some of my experience at the hands of some of the dodgier folk on CCN, whilst dealing with the most pressing of these, being Angela Power Disney
We are the ones we’ve been waiting for | Eilish De Avalon talks to Mel Ve
And that is all I have to say about this matter. I have put enough time and energy into this drama. If anybody has any questions, feel free to get in touch with us directly.
We thank our extended CCN family for all their love and support, and we look forward to continuing in strength. As a network, we are faced with some difficult tasks and decisions. We are grateful to those who trust us enough to know that we always act with the highest intention of good, and what ever decisions / course of action we need to take, is done with a clear conscience.
