@professorhoodoo I'm still not seeing any evidence. Will any ever appear or are you just going to keep wasting your time posting ridiculous unsubstantiated assertions? You know, like a pussy who won't put up or shut up. You know, like someone like that.
@tvsinesperanto READ THE SUN SENTINEL...OR CAN YOU READ!!!!!????? LOL THE FBI ARRESTED THE CO-FOUNDER OF THE JREF AND HE FACES 12 YEARS IN PRISON FOR FRAUD....HE'S AN ILLEGAL ALIEN AND DIRECTOR OF THE JREF FOR 11 YEARS.
THE JREF MDC IS A TOTAL SCAM! They have bilked $10,000,000.00 out of slow minded skeptics... Just amazing ..Flim Flammed by the Flim Flammer himself ... just sick!!!! Banachek and Grothe are part of the come on swindle.
@professorhoodoo WOW... as far as I know your news ar a bit distorted o UNtrue, or may i say you are lying, somebody else was arrested for fraud but it had nothing to do with the JREF, he simply participated on a SCAM in Australia a few decades ago...
@papaesceptico Jose Alvarez is listed as the Co-Founder of the JREF and it's director for over 11years!!!!!! It was a SCAM from the very beginning!!!! They bilked 10 million dollars from the skeptics ... poor guys.
@professorhoodoo What exactly was a scam? The Carlos thing? They made no money from that at all. It was merely a demonstration of the gullibility of the public. The JREF expose scams, they don't conduct them, at least not for profit (the Carlos thing was done to make a point).
Unless you are talking about something else entirely, I think you have been sorely misinformed.
@tvsinesperanto The FBI arrested the co-founder of the JREF for FRAUD!!! Are you blind? he is under arrest for REAL FRAUD and he lives with randi who has been helping him cover this up for years!!!!! randi may have set it up. The MDC has taken in 10 million dollars of YOUR MONEY... LOL
Second, I'm interested to know how exactly you managed to draw a line between a single JREF employee being ALLEGEDLY responsible for ID fraud & the MDC being a scam. Once again, evidence please?
Until reading your post, I'd have found it hard to believe that anyone could make so many unfounded assumptions in a single 500 character post. You are truly a gifted individual.
@tvsinesperanto HA HA HA ...Alvarez is GUILTY!!!!! His own lawyer SAYS SO.. You are just playing STUPID right ... you are really that stupid? .. no one is LOL... Alvarez was the DIRECTOR OF THE JREF FOR 11 YEARS!!!!!!!!!! HE WAS CO-FOUNDER OF THE BIGGEST SCAM IN SKEPTIC HISTORY!!!!! ROTFLMAO...... HA HA HA
@professorhoodoo Yeah, yeah. Words are cheap buddy. All you seem to be able to do is spout unsupported assertions. Still waiting for some evidence of your claims. They are conspicuous by their absence.
FYI, the MDC is not about exposing frauds. It's an attempt to show the world that, no matter how many people claim to have supernatural powers, when tested under proper conditions (i.e. they can't cheat) & the results are carefully recorded, no one does better than chance.
It's also, to a lesser extent, a search for anyone who may genuinely have supernatural powers. Of course no one at JREF believes that's possible but they aren't so arrogant that they can't imagine themselves being wrong.
@professorhoodoo Wow, you are even less well informed than the usual gullible fools that troll the bowels of the interwebz.
Jose Alverez (aka "Carlos") was merely an actor hired by James Randi to play the part of a so-called "channeller" in the Australian media.
This was done to make a point (i.e. that the public could be fooled by any reasonably skilled actor even if what he said made little sense & he cited non-existent places, organisations, & publications).
He was connected to the JREF for a time but it's ludicrous to blame an entire organisation for the actions of one of it's members (even assuming he is guilty which is as yet unclear). Would you assume the entire government is high just because one of it's employees smoked dope? Actually, don't answer that, you're the type that might.
I have one very important question for you:
How does this make any difference whatsoever to the fact that she failed this test miserably?
I don't deny his links to JREF, it is what it is. However if you are going to claim that the entire JREF is dishonest just because ONE GUY at the JREF has ALLEGEDLY committed ID fraud, without ANY other evidence whatsoever, you've got to be dumber than a box of hammers.
Oh what a surprise! She works with JREF to agree on the test protocols, JREF agree to do whatever she feels she needs for her powers to work (& does it), she has every opportunity to protest or lodge an objection if ANYTHING, before or during the test was not to her liking, but doesn't (in fact she seems more than happy with the setup) & agrees, in writing, to all of this.
Then she fails, feels stupid (as she should) ,so makes up some BS about how she was cheated. What a piece of work!
psychics, most , are, clairvoyant. they know how to convince others, that "they have the power". but apparently, thats the only power they have. clergy and doctrine has the power to convince ordinary ppl that there's a god and an afterlife. but convincing someone doesnt prove that this is true. it simply proves ppl are gullible and are easily convinced of anything they want to believe
i understand how dowsers think they pick up vibes from whatever they are looking for. gold, water or whatever. what i dont get is how they would get different vibes from playing cards. does a 3 of spades have a different feel to a king of diamonds? i would think all the cards are identical.
connie is a real psychic! she only failed because i canceled out her psychic powers with my own psychic powers during that test.. i did this while i was eating chicken wings in my living room.. i was also wearing a green fuzzy hat, thats how i was able to amplify my powers...
I thought I had powers too. When I was deluded by my mother and in the 8th grade. Now neither of us believe it, thankfully, lol. I'm an atheist now, I'm working on getting her there too. I'm sure she'd be fine with it if she understood it.
You could only believe something like this if you were lying to yourself. It is possible she has not been trained in understanding the differences from "real" and "not real", but thats not my fault, and shes a liar.
I find it very disappointing that we in attendance treated her with the utmost respect, and then when she failed and proceeded with grace through the remaining protocol we honoured her with an extended round of applause, that she should turn around and give such a disengenous response.
It is possible that she remembers incorrectly the events. The second envelope had an ace, the third one was supposed to be an ace (but was not). She could have scrambled what Banacheck actually said and remembered that he identified an ace before pulling the card out of the envelope.
I wonder if Connie is referring to the post-test component, in which the remaining twenty-seven envelopes were opened, one-by-one, to demonstrate that all ten cards from each suit were indeed there, including the three she was supposed to have selected, and thus the deck wasn't stacked in any way.
I certainly don't remember anything out of the ordinary, but we'll have to wait until the rest of the video is posted to review.
I was at TAM7 and I saw this live. Connie even left her magic dousing rock. It was a plastic bauble with a piece of thread on it. We all played with it after the contest was over.
I WAS dowsing for beer in the Del Mar Lounge! Small world...or large meeting?
I'll give you a clue as to who I am. I was wearing a couple things around my neck. On alluded to my affinity to pie, and the other had the word Dawn on it.
The JREF Forum itself knows of the FBI arrest and potential 12 years in Prison..... Ha ha ha ... it has been heavily edited...Ha ha ha
