Focus Group

My uncle Raymond Estaver suffered a stroke while he was participating in a focus group last May. This tape was acquired as part of the trial discovery. We lost the suit but this is what happened.

Can you provide me any further information about this focus group and who organized it? Was this a focus group organized by the government itself? Please respond here or e mail me - onedeaddj@yahoo.com. Thanks.

My husband wants me to remove this video immediately. I was not supposed to have this but I made a copy one from my lawyer. Everything has been going bad since I posted this. Now I can't even use my email anymore it's broken.

I am a professional focus group moderator. This is an insult to all in my profession. This is fake. First, the purpose of a focus group is to TALK TO PEOPLE, DISCUSS TOPICS AND GET HONEST FEEDBACK. NOT to do an in-person survey! Secondly, ShadowCatXIII is correct - the post-production text overlaying the video would not be available to the "neice" of a respondent in the group. AND the researcher would not put post-production text over a video of someone having a stroke. We have ethics! Total BS

There is one problem here. It's not the moderator (I've been in meetings with a moderator like this). The problem is this: the "Cumulative Response:" blurbs. In a production like this, such blurbs are done POST-production, not DURING the production. Because of this, I would have to agree that this is staged. Interesting information and believable responses, yes, but staged nonetheless.

Second, if you watch the guy that "looks pale" he looks like he is having cardio vascular problems throughout the clip. He looks like he is fidgiting, but he is rubbing his left hand, sweating, focusing on his whole left side, hand, neck and shoulders, like he was loosing sensation, right before he falls over, he motions toward his chest, not really grabing it but almost, and then just falls back. A boy this big, wheels or not, that chair is going over.

Go to the PBS website I think it's dot org, and watch the documentary called "the pursuaders". Watch the whole thing.

Take a guess at what I think is sad. No, I'll tell you. You see, when something happens, people will immediately jump to a conclusion. This could be because of an outside source having brainwashed them into believing something specific. Agree'd? This being said, I would like to remind everyone that while the 'truth' may be out there, no one person or group is likely to hold it in entirety. Keep this in mind while reading up. Use your brain; Don't use another's.

The validity of this video is not of more importance really than the ensuing questions and doubts that pass through your mind. The question of whether or not you trust Bush and his associates, proven liars time and time again who seem to coincidently expand their powers happily with every inch we give them out fear. Do you really trust them with your life?

looks staged but if it were real and i were in it i probably would have broken the moderator's face for what he's doing

It appears to be a very small "focus group" too. Inasmuch, I believe it is staged.
