Blasphemy Against Kek
James has a brand of clothing called Alt-Right Attire [66] [16] [15]sold on Zazzle. [63] [64]In a series of messages in the Cult of Kek Admins Group chat, Porter-Cable admitted that he did not believe in Meme Magic or Kek, and mocked the other admins for discussing those concepts so much. He said the only reason that he is in the group was to sell his t-shirts. [30] [29]
Cult of Kek: Coup and Re-Coup

On the evening of January 8, 2017, Porter-Cable staged a hostile takeover in the Cult of Kek (Facebook Group), causing agitation among many of its 23,543 (post-purge count) members. He banished all the admins and moderators, save the group's original founder, and then changed the group's name from "Cult of Kek" to "Cult of Shrek." [4] [7]The massive troll specifically targeted one group admin, whom he challenged to a game of Facebook Basketball. [19] [3]After she beat his high score, the group was restored to its original state. Several memes are now circulating of Porter-Cable due to his actions. [6] [5] [13] [14]
On January 14th 2017, Porter-Cable regained his administrative rights and staged a successful re-coup, re-renaming the group to "Cult of Shrek".
Amidst fiery sermons, [22]he initiated a purge of members, scorning them as "normies" and "newfriendos" who have betrayed the the true spirit of Kek's Chaos. He subsequently praised Shrek as "Shrek Dorje, Lord of the Demon Swamp" in an evident move toward Shrek's apotheosis and inclusion into the Tibetan Pantheon of Wrathful Deities. [21]

The radical move was met with hundreds of hateful and threatening comments [26]in tones aptly described as fundamentalist, ranging from general vulgarity to invocations of Kek's revenge and disruptions to Porter-Cable's life and professional career.
However, Porter-Cable's reformation was supported by the group's original founder, [23]who went on to profess his childhood devotion and profound sentiment to Shrek [21]and subsequently archived the group. As was foretold in the Book of Kek, as quoted by the founder, such was the reckoning that became:
Book of Kek, chapter 3 verse 12:"And those who are lacking in humor will not recognize Shrek as an avatar of Kek.
They will turn into big cry babies and denounce the true believers of Kek as heretics.
But those true believers, having a sense of humor in their heart and the spark of Kek's infinite humor in their head shall remain, undaunted by threats of faux-magicians who attempt to use Kek's power for their own personal means."
[28] Book of Kek, chapter 11 verse 4:"And a group of admin shall fall from the ranks of the Cult of Kek.
Iniquity shall swell within their hearts and their butts will become severely hurt.
They shall cry out for revenge against those true believers of Kek who recognized Shrek as the avatar of Kek.
These ex admin will make a false idol out of Kek and will make a false group claiming to house the spirit of Kek, but which only contains his empty image."

Porter-Cable has promoted himself online as a tantric spiritual guru, going by the monicker "Shaktipat Seer" on a Facebook page [32] (since 2008), Youtube channel [31] (since 2011) and several other websites. Whilst declaring affiliation with the Sakya Order of Tibetan Buddhism, in practice his publications feature a hybrid of teachings from Hinduism and Buddhism with an over-arching tantric theme. The current pages (as username "ShaktipatSeer2") are a continuation of his earlier efforts that became victims of online censorship. [62]
Porter-Cable's claims for fame as Shaktipat Seer include 10560 Facebook and 16960 Youtube followers, with his most popular Youtube video [33]gathering over 808,000 views.
The Shaktipat Seer Youtube channel [31]features both aggregated material and original content, including a three-hour documentary called Shabdabrahman: The Divine Vibration [56], subheaded "A Documentary On Ancient Vedic Science For A New Age", with over 170,000 views.
In April 2014, Porter-Cable started a related semi-commercial venture called Activate Your Third Eye [34], where he promotes his teachings and sells courses and materials on a range of Esoteric and Occult topics. Porter-Cable's work has been featured on several Spirituality and Magick related websites, cited e.g. as a "world renowned expert on the pineal gland"[49]. Hundreds of reviews by viewers of his Youtube channel [31]appear to corroborate the efficacy of his techniques.
Porter-Cable has self-published the titles Alchemy of the Pineal Gland [57] (Aug 2009, paperback), Black Sun Rising: Making the Darkness Conscious [52] [56] ** (Nov 2012, paperback) and Alchemy of the Pineal Gland [51]** (Feb 2014, digital), offered for sale on Amazon and Lulu. He has also appeared as a guest in online radio shows [53], contributed articles to The Renegade Pharmacist [50], and produces esoteric Rap Music as "Shakti the Rapper"[54]on SoundCloud. [55]
