How much does some Psychics earn? (Example: Sally Morgan)


How Major Stage Psychics Get $$$

just stating the obvious when it comes to Psychic Sally's income.  

hate to tell people this but Sally Morgan is getting way too much money for selling her nonsense, she makes over 1.5 million per year I reckon, from simple mathematics you can work out that 45-50 theatre shows per year at a rate of £24-£26 a seat, sell out shows that fill a three thousand seat theatre.
I did the low end maths and found that based on a 25quid cost in a 2,000 seat threatre, with costs+tax covered she is making in profit 30k, 50 shows at that mediocre end of her business she makes 1.5 million per year, plus book sales, plus celebrity readings, plus other 1-to-1 readings £400-£500 each, for 20-30minutes. then add the money she gets for repeats of TV shows, appearances on day time TV, etc. We are talking about a quiet year for sally is earning her more than most of you will get in a life time!!! 


 video to be added on this topic soon.

Aleister Crowley, 'The Most Evil Man In The World' ?


God is not... Defined!

God is not anything without actually or at least some agreed upon definition, yet every definition changes, is shifted, made to fit in it's squared form the round holes of reality.  

We call an idea by the term/title 'god', yet what is god, we don't get a picture in full, and those cults who say they know god well seem to shy away from reality when science defeats their claims, or find gaps in our knowledge and place god in those shrinking voids of our limitation.  It seem that god can be recreated any number of times, new masks and faces, new faiths and forms, and those who think they know god personally.  God seems to have been reformed more and more in recent centuries, and the endless grinding of philosophies and fundamentalism, the rising sun of moderates, the endless new faiths and new ideas, revelations, spiritualists, mystics, new ages, etc.  all leading nowhere, all leading away from faith as those who had faith find they need less and less the foundation of a faith, and yet many still cling to the wizards because their magics give them comfort.  





[just a quick ramble before I needed to go out.]










 

Unilluminated Stars - Hollywood Illuminati ;)

Sometimes stoned, orgy loving, depressed, so-called celebrities use dumb symbolism in the mistaken belief that faith in a greater union will liberate them from their lack of talent.  



And the fact you can point to eye covering in a number of pictures doesn't not equal an illuminati in Hollywood, it shows how well, or badly, you select your images.  There are secretive societies, mystical schools, and even those you may call satanic for no good reason, yet these are just new inflections upon the definition of spirituality, and most celebrities seem just as poisoned by religion as any person.  For many years people try to find peace in their lives, they seek religions, self-help, beliefs set in pudding, but content them.  The idea of eye covering is a joke, mostly from an odd picture from here or there, and often it's a zooming in on a pose, or more often the painfully unoriginal photographic artists who produce more cliché than most.   The star may come out, yet illuination, or enlightenment, is not forth coming in the typical, some court Scientology, born again Christianity, or try Kabbalah, maybe the Sufi faith, contact their inner child, their outer adult, or look into west African red magic and voodoo related mythology, all in the search of truth, and more than a few find themselves reaching the surface of the pool, finding agnosticism, atheism, and secular humanism.  Most find themselves diving deep the depths of mysticism, and don't see that up is the answer to release, down is only the devotion to the dive.  The mistakes of holding spiritual ideas convince you, yet you do not test, the folly of the delusion, to sink beneath the dark depths, to seek the light in the dark, and not look up.   Many celebrities can understand that God is not a factor, that spirituality is a dream in dark waters, and that you are the key to your life, and there is not magic to be born of following the magical and wishful cults that oppose reason.  


The best you can say in response to the critic of conspiracy theories is the conspiracy is elsewhere, and/or lie about sources, as you will ever do, you need to lie or pass on the lie that the chaos of celebrity hold any order, when the flames of fame burn out most, often these children seek direction, and the delusions of mankind will ever provide the snake oil of the soul.

Aleister Crowley and the Beatles

I was reading up on him and find that the reason the Beatles put him on one of their covers was because of his almost anarchic individualism and his escape from Christian moral limitations that were up until the 60s a very real problem. 

conspiracy theories are abound on this topic, yet really you need only understand that 60s culture was one of liberation, and the Beatles were at the crest of that wave for a time, and just as Crowley travelled east to learn from the world, so did the Beatles.  Although, come to think of it, the results were far from perfect, and the spirituality in the end no better than other faiths, more free and personal, more about living life, exploring life.  And yet, still limited by the fact of the delusions you live are just illusions dancing over reality, they are not the real world, just the mask it wears when we want to something other than it's bare face. 


I will be uploading a video soon to my main youtube channel on Aleister Cowley, I will try to remember to note that here.  https://www.youtube.com/user/robertwlester

E.O.F. End Of Fear? WTF?

If you see this blog then you may be wondering what the frick-brick is this EOF?

To be honest I'm not expert myself, I have been looking into this group, and unlike Desteni, Zeitgeist, and Venus Project, etc.  It seems like it has a key role and isn't looking to change the world, for better or not, to it's designs.

It seems interesting though, setting up the idea that spirituality can make you do dumb things for no good reason, that it's a 'virus' of sorts, and that they want to help people build up their 'anti-virus' software, there is some unclear language, yet with a team of people involved I expect great things. 
However, I should note that they are getting atheist/sceptic groups notified of their October 2015 event in London, so there could be many people who will proof test this group and it's ideas, at worst this should allow refinement of arguments, a smoothing out of it's ideas, if not then it will remain a fringe group.  I only say fringe because a new and growing group needs the mainstream as it's life blood, if it is seem as too political or too opinionated, then it won't fly smoothly in these turbulent times.  http://eof-londonconference.weebly.com/  


the basic set of points we find on their website is that religion/spirituality can be greatly harmful and thus you need to build up your defences to nonsense.  Good, because people tend to leap between faiths, or quit religion and keep Jesus, or some other wishful method of saying they reject the churches, but want to imagine god loves you, or the dead a living in the gardens of paradise, so having tricks up your sleeve to get your head straight can reduce depression and even suicides in the non-believer demographic.   http://endoffear.weebly.com/


I hope to speak to some members in the future, and if all goes well I can always look into adding to their efforts in helping others to find a happy way of living minus spiritual Jargon.


please check out my youtube channel, where future interviews will be located  




Cult leaders

 [a few thoughts]

we can mean a person who is popular with a following, a so-called 'cult of personality', yet typically we mean a person who run a group of extreme devotion, or a charismatic guru who gathers followers to his or her self. 

At a push you can call a scammer a cult leader, with Peter Popoff he is a guru of sorts, a scammer, sure, yes, and indeed uses his ministry to gather funds, it's a racket, a front, he has a pet cult on a lead to get money, yet there are worse things than greed alone. 

David Berg, also known as Moses David, ran a group known as the Children of God, since changed it's name a few times, and he wasn't in it for money, he was in it for lots of sex with underage-girls, he was a narcissist in the extreme, and created a faith to allow him to live out every fantasy and perversion. 

There are many reasons why cult leaders become what they are, in the sense of position and the abuse they offer, the everyday western guru, new age or otherwise, doesn't often form an organisation, they are selling a product.  And usually not on the scale of Popoff, small business models based on lectures, books, and worshops, no big clean up scam, lots of small plays that are not easily regulated. 

Narcissists are commonly the type of people to create cults, socially insecure people are often the best followers, the narcissist hungers for position, the rest are dominated, indoctrinated, or expelled. 

The average Newage speaker isn't a cult leader, they are a sales person with a willing and credulous audience, same for many christian speakers, they may make vast sums of cash, but it's more about the money than anything.  And these sorts of people are rarely true narcissists. 

The Narcissistic Cult Leader is one who isn't so much after money, sex, or any such thing as such, it's all about what Sam Vaknin, an expert on Narcissism, calls 'narcissstic supply', the sense of gratification that comes of having their own way.  And remember the worst thing you can do is remove that supply to the narcissists ego, it is their life's blood, and extreme cases will do anything to ensure they get it and keep such a supply within their power. 




Teal Swan Suicidal Narcissist Cult Leader?

notes on Teal, incomplete. 


Stories about miss Swan is many, not least her narcissism, and her bad days when she is on the edge of suicide, and still self harms, this is inferred by the interview conducted with former supporters, former friend of Teal, and house mates.

Some of these interviews are on youtube, and I don't say you should believe them all, be critical, but still Teal is at the very least FAR from Perfect, far from being an enlightened spiritual creature from a galaxy far far away who can help you find the greater truth.

 I think we should all ask how true a thing is, is it something you can try out and put to the test, or is it heresy to question her beliefs, will you find that your rail-roaded for asking hard questions or spotting thing that fail to make sense, or if you point out an error.  After all she acts like she is perfect, to admit error makes her physically and mentally weak, she will bitch, cry, attention whore, and exhibits many narcissist traits, but without a consultation with a serious expert we can't be sure she is a narcissist, yet we need not then ignore the facts. 


here we have a long, long interview presented by Jessica Schab, she interview Cameron, a gal we was living with Teal and her cult group.

 I dare say some of you are annoyed that I linked that video, which is actually a series of 5 videos, I don't mind that, I suspect many Tealers(Teal Fans) need to watch up and not get drawn into a cult of personality, I don't mind if you cling to beliefs and experiences as such, but we aware of those points made in that interview and many others.


I don't think she is evil, nor a great danger to many of you, yet she is a man eater, well an eater in general, encouraging a flock of friends who become followers, and she is very much into free love some reports suggest.  I doubt much of this, I doubt this civil war in the spiritual movement will mean much in the scale of things, just another loon making big bucks from mystical lies.  to be fair so was the woman in the video, Jessica Schab, but she realised she was deluded, and she wasn't a cult leader with an inner circle of devotees, yet Teal is known to have a cult personality and her cult family in her home and neighbourhood. 


I don't mind so much if Teal wakes up or not to her lies, reports of her still self-harming are interesting, her numerous bids for oblivion got her in a psycho ward for a while, that's where she put together some of her ideas about 'who she is', an alien living in human form, a human body. 
Her family never saw or heard anything of her Satanic claims, her brother is a rape councillor, her parents are educated middle-class caring people, and much of Teal insanity comes from the alleged drug and sex issues of her teen years, she even did sex work for a few years, still does from time to time, allegedly.  the claim of satanic abuse was changed over the years, she says it was pedophiles, mormon pedos, satanic child killers, the story is not clarified, and she has even made errors from time to time, not least claiming to be the poster child of satanic abuse awareness then in youtube interviews saying she doesn't want to pursue this issue anymore, she said she contacted the police at first, and her excuse for no evidence and being sent to psycho ward was that the Satanists or Mormon Paedophile-Murderers were always moving camp and they avoided lost child reports by hunting illegal immigrant children.  Odd, strange, dumb, sure all that, and best of all she claims she needed to go through it all to be the guru she is today, but if she's an alien enlightened being then WTF!  and I could go on forever, the facts are not that, and every serious common discussion ends with her fans agreeing the claims are non-falsifiable.  






Tila Tiquila, attention whore

news story Tila attention whoring
oh how the foolish do fail, yet she has tried EVERYTHING ELSE, so maybe this is what she needs, to burn the bridges of her folly to confirm the need to build better crossings that are not about whoring herself out to get notoriety.   

Far more interesting to me than racism, porn, and other errors in judgement, is the conspiracy theorist claims made in 2013, and there abouts, she was saying the illuminati were after her and that she was going to fight them, she even was on the Alex Jones radio show, a far-right conspiracy nut show that includes david icke and other douchbags as regulars.  ;)


here is my reuploaded video on her, it was originally up about 3 years ago. 


I removed it because I hoped her star had sank as far as it could go by now, so I added it to an archive channel. 



for more response to crazy bullshit RobertWLester Sceptic Youtube Channel


and now for something else:
All the best to this gal, after all, if it wasn't for the rush of attention and an on and off drug problem she probably would be dead by now.  ;)

Colin Fry is Dead! good!



The truth is that no one who is in their right mind and not suffering from some clouding of their emotions will not find joy from the dead of any many, not matter how horrid his or her actions. 

Colin Fry spent many year fooling the credulous out of money, but because he fit into the religious protect we offer in the UK, and because he was ripping people off for small sums, he got away with making millions by doing cold reading and inviting clients to shows to make himself seem better than he was. Good work if you can get it? 

I don't hate him, nor did I hate in his life, yet death changes no facts, he was a man who lied to sell books, seats in shows, and got on TV, becoming the UK's best loved medium.  YET, never confirmed his abilities, a few quacky tests wouldn't prove the skill/gift of mediumship, and if he at least tried I would have though he might believed his tall tales. 


enough said?


well let me add this:


good bye Colin, you were a crook, and for many of us will be remembered as a bad magician with no moral compass. 


Long time no speaky, update + End Of Fear(?!?!)

I have been quite busy these past months, work has been hard, the money is nice, but I really haven't been in the mood to continue this blog for a while.  I was hoping to add news of some sort, I had plans for interviews and to continue my video testing psychics, yet time being a factor defeated that effort, so delays set me back for a while, and that's not all bad. 

News, well new to you, I will be interviewing a few people who are into this End Of Fear project, they seem like a venus project type of people, but their focus is on those who leave religion and spirituality to the credulous. [endoffear]  I hope to see if they are sceptical, or if the rejection of religion in their case is down to reasonable perspectives or if they are digging deeper now into pseudo-science for psychological wellness, I say this having spoken to them, Jess And her partner seem to be very critical of magical thinking, YET very opinionated.  And in my experience that can lead towards it's own brand of thinking, that may not be magical or wishful in the same way, yet still may have some leaps that are counter productive. 

                                          the groups symbol looks like this, why do people feel the need
                                          for some kind of symbol to express what they are and what they do?

                                                         Jessica, of the 'EOF project' or does that make it 'EOFP'?

Jessica Schab of EOF seems to be a nice person in general, a form spiritual speaker who realised that it was nonsensical, and in time left that life behind, and the faith, experiences, etc.  And now is promoting critical thinking on such matters, her foes seem to fear the fact that she was doing talks and spreading the 'new age' kind of belief and then snapped out of it.  I am not an expert on this matter, I would say this rejection is a common place happening when a person of some note makes themselves outcast, and so some critique made by some spiritual types is very unpleasant indeed. 

I will continue this another time, it seems that it requires much more discussion, and an interview for maybe as soon as the week end could clarify a lot of questions I'm toying with, after all I'm not loyal to sides, I'm interested in the facts. 


It only remains to add that her youtube channel is worth a look too, as is her Project Camelot video from when she was a new age loon.  Don't get me wrong, most of you reading are loons too, and I was once into that bullshit too, and you don't get smarter as such, when you leave it behind, you just remove the mists that make it hard to see the world around you, the indoctrination from many beliefs you may hold and that prevent sound reasoning.

a comment about Psychic sally morgan [not my comment, but worth reading]

below is a comment left on a video about sally morgan, I wanted to share:
 
 
"I'm surprised that nobody has yet instigated litigation against Sally Morgan for fraud and/or embezzlement. If a duly accredited oncologist diagnoses one with pancreatic cancer after using the skills of his profession – possibly endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography plus a biopsy – and is subsequently proved to have erred in his diagnosis after (allegedly) corrective surgery, then one, quite rightly, has the oncologist charged with malpractice or in the worst of cases, manslaughter. Whatever the case, the oncologist is deregistered as a medical practitioner, and faces some sort of financial penalty and possibly a jail term. On the other hand, people such as Sally Morgan, practising what amounts to intentional deceit for financial gain, and which causes mental anguish, pain and suffering walks away from her farcical stage show with a full wallet and an empty conscience. Apparently there are no legal statutes that prohibit this sort of criminal behaviour, due largely to the fact that the laws of the land simply don't acknowledge the existence of paranormal effects or psychic forces.  And nor should anybody else. Morgan is on record as repeatedly telling various people that they or their friends or loved ones are suffering, or have suffered, from some sort of illness. Obviously, 99 per cent of the entire population has suffered from some sort of illness – from influenza to ingrown toenails to bone fractures – so Morgan has a vast list of these medical conditions to draw upon as she fishes for responses thrown out to audiences in the hundreds. And the names she also throws out – Tom, Richard, Graham, David etc – are always the sorts of names that guarantee a hit. She never suggests contemporary ethnic names such as Kazimierz, Ghuzayyah, or Akakiy;  I wonder why? 
Lastly, Morgan has a captive audience;  people who've paid money to attend her shows already have an acceptance of what they're about to see, otherwise they wouldn't be there.  They seem not to comprehend that what Morgan "tells" them, they already know!  She never tells them something that they didn't know about their relative or friend and which they could later research and verify.  
The other proof of Morgan's audience's gullibility is that most of them already believe in the Christian concept of "heaven" and/or some sort of spiritual-based "afterlife".  This of course makes them more than susceptible to the power of suggestion regarding "contacting" deceased loved ones, and which Morgan plays ruthlessly upon.  
Anybody defending Morgan and her borderline criminal activities needs to objectively evaluate her stage performances with a much more cynical eye, and with a far more skeptical set of proofs for her purported psychic "powers"."

Crystal Energy Liquid IS BULLSHIT! [watch this]


If you just watched that video then you'll know what is being claimed, a few things that are worth noting, this is not a true experiment in the scientific sense, it's a demonstration for a product, the demonstration is said to prove something, namely that the water allows you to get the nutrients 2.5 times faster.  And the product is a crystal based liquid you add to a glass of water that contains a nutrient, the idea is the water which as the crystal stuff into is more effective, even though this is anything but a controlled trail/experiment.  So after his quacky trail he has one that is murky, like it's held the nutrients in the water like a tea drink, rather than drifting apart, thanks to "crystal energy" liquid?!  no, the crystal energy water contain a bunch of vitamins, and beyond that contains sunflower oil.  so oil in water means the dispersal of  particulates is mildly stabilised as to opposed to in oil-less water, in which you find the filth you add will float to the top or sink to the bottom depending on what you add to the water.  so oil is magic?!

Quacky Channelling Exposed!

Quacky Channelling Exposed!

Most of us grow out of the imaginary, we leave behind the general gibberish of the ignorances of our childhood, yet not all of us grow up in this way, the delusions can keep up with an adult mind, but it aint easy.   Not least you need suspend external sense and any reasoning, it's a hard job, well no, that was wrong.  It's an easy job, but some schmuck will give it a frickin' go! 

well what can you say to that, but they are deceptive mother fcukers with no guts for evidence, no spine for discussion, and deserve to be exposed as deluded people or complete frauds. 


and hey, this is my opinion, you wanna prove me wrong then shot, fire your facts at me, lets see who is standing in this dusty town after we fire off a few rounds in a debate.

religion assumes too much about God. [ramble - draft thoughts that will feature within my book]

We find religious people, in general terms, assert a god by faith and from a gap logic, so from a belief in a book and interpretation, and the idea that a hole found within reality is a god shaped hole, so from the belief they hold and a place to build, they spin a belief that we know that a "god" is one who represents a Biblical God, or Koranic Allah.  The idea of a God is already slanted, from the faith position it is a question of confirmation bias, from the god must fit the bill position it's an extension, extended from the belief to include a potential for validity.  The result of confirming, for example, a first cause god, a creator, we are told utterly nothing about that creator by having the idea that he/she/it was somehow there, we are told nothing of it's will, desires, laws, orders, hopes, dreams, nor do we have any pointer towards any kind of religion, if any should be valid.  We are given, at best a series a mildly poor arguments by the faithful for why their must a be a god, they fail on their reliance on faith or upon selected definitions to assert by use of words a greater cause or force and mind to create the complex universe and all within, and even if this were true then what would it confirm in regards to any sect of Christianity?  What we find are assertions upon the foundational bad argument for a creator god, such as how many an apologist may make an unholy leap from infinite to god to the father god or trinity of the bible, the leap frogging between bias terms is a favourite of the faithful, because all they need is a thesaurus to find a series of related terms to take facts back to their version of god.

How to become popular new age con artist? - example: Wild Colleen

sadly many gurus gets press via cheap tricks to get attention, one such person, Colleen had a series of softcore porn videos and images online, and some on youtube, to sell he reptilian conspiracy theories. 

she tried to put on a front, yet to gather FUNDS, she had pay for view nude videos on youtube, until they were reported, using nudity and conspiracies to get a following, and thousands in donations. 






 so some of her work was on conspiracies, illuminati, reptilians, angels, aliens, and much more, but she kept the sex side out there as a tool to gather attention. 



her angle was I have truth now, but if you want in you gotta pay!

so by early 2011 she was begging for cash, and saying you need this info to survive the alien invasion, and other such nonsense



 in the end she got over the nude pics, but went into a meltdown of conspiracy lies, even saying she was going to sue the illuminati members, but, guess what, donate now to fund this fake project. 

even claiming that the queen of england, UK prime minister, and US president, were going to be taken to court along with many others, she provides no paper trail to confirm this cash was send anywhere beyond her bank account. 


But in the end to stop being threatened by Christian Fundies she converted with a bang, but still NO REFUNDS. LOL. 

so she came out as a christian conspiracy nut, and after that she was forced to get a real job, return to administrating nurse role in a care home, this was due her fan base, her donation base drying up. 


this was not thanks to christians or new age groups online, it was thanks to those rational people who criticised her and her abuse of her following to pay all of her bills. 

action online can shut these frauds down, colleen is proof, as are many other can artists who have been exposed by concerned people. 



Teal Swan/scott/bosworth = former Pro-Model?



so she is a half nice looking girl, but so what?

the best modelling images seem to be cheap, amateurish, and suggestive, not a bad thing, but this is not kate moss. 

Teal makes many grand claims, not least the modelling, yet out of thousands of models she is just a nice looking woman, not one of the famous, not a well know face, and all she has in way of he career as a model are a few images, most of which semi-sexual, suggestive and poorly shot. 

If anything is evident it is she could make a nice model, but was/is not lightly to ever break through into world class modelling. 






If anything the sex in her work seems to benefit he new age belief far more than he career, yet in the long interview on youtube with a former follower the beans are spilled, she claimed she was into prostitution at one point, was she an escort at one point?  and he clients in healing are said to get extra services too. 

NOTE:  these things are opinions, not solid facts.  So don't sue me yet ;)


please look up this interview, very interesting, and teal even walks around the house nude and is ver much into free love, good for her. LOL.









Bad Science in the name of Spiritualism.

I have recently been tying to please the spiritualists by looking into the best science for their claims, I regret to inform you that your science is far from serious, and your results are bias, and as a result your not taken seriously by impartial experts. 

I made a few videos on a channel on youtube called GeneralSwartz, this channel is secondary to my RobertWLester channel, yet it's a place I talk about any topic I wish, so I I asked for their best evidence, and as a result made about 7 videos over a week, as well as two on the RobertWLester channel.  The results of internet investigation found that the most outspoken sights were religious or conspiracy theory sites, the worst being forums full of biases on such things as the scole experiments and marcello bacci, noting it "must be true" because of their experiences with mediums or due to documentary presentations that agree upon.  Their foundational reasoning is it's true, and here's the movie, here's the book, and it's sciency because we had tests, they ignore stories, documentaries, books, and tests are warped by biases, or poor test conditions with the so-called tests. 



note that no matter how much research I do I find no serious evidence, and the tests done by paranormalists are often made to gather results, not ensure true results, as with the scole experiment


this shame, this quackery display allowed many poor controls and no controls in a few cases, as with using a room in the mediums home to conduct a session, and they waved the right to confirm the room was OK for this test. 


the other example noted was in regard to Marcello Bacci, a chap who uses a radio to talk to the dead, it seems to be the Ghost box trick, or maybe a radio trick using a transmitters. 




in any case the tests run with Mr. Bacci were not run for confirmation of the ability as much as getting results with slack controls. 


one man who keeps pushing for lax controls is Mr. Victor Zammit, a spiritualist and lawyer, who has even insisted that James Randi should make the Million Dollar Challenge easier so mediums can pass it.  Victor is a man who like to think he is the answer to scepticism, and that mediums are real because in his tests they seem to offer results, yet in such cases he cuts out critical thought and leaves the "tests" open to trickery, such as hot and cold reading methods.  And he is the one saying that James Randi is a fraud, I think religion has poisoned his mind, and it can happen, just look at the writer of Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who was a genius as far as his famous work, yet fell prey to the power of religious thinking, and spent many years as a fund raiser, being hustled, by spiritualist conmen and believers alike.

The Afterlife Experiments - BAD EVIDENCE FOR AN AFTERLIFE = the scole experiments


More bad science that can be explained away to a vast degree by trickery or just bad test controls.

Hypno-Bullshit Wendi the pseudo-expert on "hypnotherapy"

[video's description]

[background audio is quiet in comparison to voice audio, excuse your shock ;)
and I also decided not to edit Penn & Teller clips into this video since it is easy enough for people to go watch the full episode on youtube or netfix or something]

Bullshit Hypnosis - Critical Review Of Wendi.com

Response to a woman called Wendi Friesen, who appeared on P&T Bullshit! - Hypnosis, and appeared on other tv shows a few times, she is one of a growing breed of pseudo-scientists.  She is a hypnotherapist who creates CDs and downloads to do that which hypnotherapy just can't seem to do, but because she is making big money she is happy to advertise breast enlargement hypnosis, if you gotta a problem she would have an audio therapy session to help you, help you to give her a big income.  In the Penn & Teller episode on hypnotherapy she said her site makes millions, and that show was made over 5 years ago, so how much money is she making now? [I dread to think!].  I chose to critique her works due to her lack of scientific standing and her radical claims, I'm sure she is a nice gal and yet I just can't let such quackery pass without serious criticism, it's not personal, it's just business.  I find it interesting how her work covers everything you may need, the claim are great and yet a great deal of loose language means she is covered legally within alternative therapy, and still the great claims draw in millions of people and have made her quite rich.
I personally disagree with people who say they know anything that can't even half prove, and if they make a buck off a cancer victim to make a buck or play on human weaknesses that really annoys me, and that is what wendi does, not just prey on guys with tiny cocks.

she claims to be able to hypnotically cure cancer
http://www.wendi.com/html/cancer.html

and she has a guarantee, where basically she claims if you do what she says you'll get results, but if it's motivation then who needs hypno-bullshit?
http://www.wendi.com/html/guarantee.html

Testimonial page is interesting, and proves nothing, considering even Peter Popoff and Benny Hinn, as well as most quacks, have many testimonials.

[my response to the comment]
a comment left a day ago states 'let he who is without sin, cast the first stone', firstly that story seems improbable to be historical, even if it's meaning is moral. the stone cast by myself is to say of Wendi, that her claims are false, or so far fetched as to be highly probable to be so.  As for my own 'whiter than white' aspect, I am not without wrongs, past, present, and I would not doubt in my future, yet sin is a construct invented by religion to enslave generations, feel free to disagree.  To say I must be 'without sin', 'whiter than white', to 'throw mud' is an odd idea, since no one person is perfect, or at least it is highly improbable, and my going on are only my critique of such money making pseudo-experts as Wendi and her quackery website.  so, if you please, consent to give humanity more credit, and indeed freedom, to doubt the unreal and illogical, than to follow and remain faithful to the peril of quackery and con-artistry.  We need not be better or even brighter than the people we ask questions of, nor do we need to stand as the meek before all as the inheritors of the earth to call out an untruth, for it is not a need to be pure to point out some obvious errors.  And I doubt that my audience, or at least most of them, think that I would be unwilling to retract my points if show scientific evidence of the claims of Wendi.com.

new laptop, but...

A new one, well yes, and to cut a long story short it's not new, it's used, but good.  used to belong to a businessman, even though it's high spec.  so it works great.

Good processor, graphics card, 8gb ram, the only drawback is the sound, one of those cinematic sound set ups, the result being it's not perfect sound, or not like my other laptop, and i'll get used to it, already added most programs I want.

After getting it, I realised it needed a password, the guy who owned it had no reset it, so he ended up emailing me, after i asked him, the password.  lucky for him I didn't raid his email, since windows 8.1 was set up with his email account.  thankfully i'm not a scambag, but suspect it would have been his work email anyway, or some old one.

Anyway, I got this gaming laptop,even though not high end gaming laptop, for a small amount compared to buying a new one, kind of obvious.

Seems like he left evidence of his porn collection, he deleted the files, but failed to delete the names of the folders that can still be found, such as ones with names that suggest they were porn.  LOL.

oh well, it's worked, and I hope this laptop with be good for future editing of videos for youtube.

Islamophobia or just a honest way of expressing doubts in regards to Islam?


Doubters, Critics, Sceptics, it's fine, as long as your not just an ignorant clown who expresses hatred then so what?!  sound criticism of any belief, any person alive or dead, any so-called holy figure or book, or anything is OK, but as reasoned people it should be a rational response, as with much of the work of Christopher Hitchens.  Yet, what we find with some people on the left of politics is this idea of labelling anyone who critiques Islam a bigot, closet racist, etc.  Surely these people need to learn the difference between the informed intellectuals and the irrational fear-mongers, or else face ridicles on a vast stale!  Whether your atheistic or not is not the issue, the concern is that as a critic you are lightly to fall into this camps, one that is able to learn, able to progress, and the other which is dogmatic, the dogmatists include religious fanatics and the fuellers of race hatred.  I don't know about you, but I believe that dogma is the great foe of progress, I consider Christopher Hitchens(1949-2011) to be one who was not the enemy of civilisation.  I don't think Islam is our wholesale foe, if anything we have many foes within the Muslim world, and most of them hate each others guts about as much as they take offence to liberal western culture.  Moderate Muslims do exist, but most are traditionalist, which means they are fundamentalists, of a kind, and yet, are not probable to raise a sword to fight for the extremists, so rather than judging all Muslims as the same, like some people do, we should be educated upon the matter, and clear, as we question the values of this religion.  Islam doesn't deserve privileged more than any other belief, ad if possible the separation of Church and State should be promoted, the fairness of governance by impartial, honourable people.  And, we should not prevent Muslims from expressing themselves within our society, as long as this expression fits within the laws and guidelines of our society.

I am sociopath? Traits of a sociopath?

I don't consider myself a sociopath, but then again, who would?!  I guess the real issue is are your personality traits fitting, by definition, to such traits, it's worth noting if these traits are true to you, they are not in lightly to be the extreme, and we all have traits we may think are somewhat like that of the stereotype sociopath.   


the basic list.
• Lack of empathy
• Cold, calculating nature
• Shallow emotions
• Narcissism
• Grandiose self image
• Charming
• High IQ
• Manipulative
• Secretive
• Sexually deviant
• Sensitive to criticism
• Paranoid
• Despotic/Authoritarian
• Lawfulness
• Low tolerance for boredom
• Impulsive behaviour
• Compulsive lying
• 'In childhood sociopaths will likely pulling the wings off of flies etc, bed wetting, and pyromania.

note that most of these are so common in small amounts that we could all be mildly exhibiting such traits.  don't become a pseudo-psychologist.

Psychic testing project is delayed due to new job.

simply put i have a new job, and money is tight right now, so getting psychics to read that old box which I will claim as haunted is delayed, but I will return to the topic very soon. 

I am nothing and no one?

A youtuber, Felinoid, came up with this, or at least the usage of it that I'm aware of, he may have hijacked or borrowed it, but it's the humble stance for a youtube vlogger. 

How best to say something to the effect of 'I am not trying to own you or fuel my ego with this opinion'?  Maybe, just maybe, we need a nice thing to say to put people at rest, then, when all that is done, we can start making clear points on a topic without baggage. 

Offence, well it will forever come up, those who wish to take offence will regardless of the meekness of the vlogger responding to a point they wish to discuss. 

To say 'I am nothing' is not to literal, it's a humble statement, to say 'and no one' continues the narrative, the point equals I am not here for myself, not for my goals, I am here to express a point from my own limited perspective.  Maybe we should all have such honourable states of mind to our interactions, cutting free baggage, and the true discussions can take place.

AJ Miller Drone Fails!

AJ Miller drone fails! 


this comment was left on a video where I was question why Aussie Jesus Guy, Alan John Miller, was recycling the beliefs of spiritualist from the era of the 1920s.  He basically plagiarised James Padgett, a spiritualist writer from the 20s, and so is Alan John Miller the reincarnated Jesus or just a man who is mistaken?! 
My point is he should be original and not just a guy ripping off the work of others.

Response to my comment was interesting, BUT note that he now has responded by saying Wikipedia is not accurate, and saying spiritualists don't count due to dogma, he may be partly correct, BUT, BUT!!!  THE MORON DOESN'T SEEM TO GET THAT IT'S NOT JUST THEM, THOSE WERE EXAMPLES :)  the truth is there is more history from various sources on the life and work of James Padgett, not just wiki fail and spiritualist fanatics.  so he still fails.  he also goes on to assume spiritualists are Christian, when many are not, in many spiritualist churches they have no bible and no Christian style to their operation, other than a kind of service system that isn't bound to Christianity, except in the case of Christian-spiritualist who do.  So this guy is dodging the point that source point out facts that conflict with Alan Miller's new religion. 



The end result opinion of the auusie Jesus is your meant to make him some kind of new age self-help hippy god, Why bloody well bother.
