Psychic Samurai applies for MDC...apparently...

[fromdownunder]

With your World View, I doubt that you have ever taken me seriously, or anyone like me. So what's your point?

If you have noticed, there are quite a few rules and regulations. It's not JUST THAT EASY as some have stated.

Anything worth doing is worth doing right. It seems that many here want to hurry the process in an attempt to get me to forget to dot the I's or cross the tTs.

I will not fall into your trap.

Professor, if what you write above is true, why did you respond on another thread to me, on 2 October with this:

The Protocol was developed long ago! Weren't you listening? The protocol was discussed for weeks although the BASHERS and SNARKIES were too busy doing what they do to actually READ

Well, I was listening then and I still am. What has happened to the protocol that was developed weeks before 3 October? I can only think of two options. (well there is a third but I wish for this post to pass Moderation).

Did somebody hijacked your account and post incorrect things in your name?

Is one of you is a liar?

With a team of writers,Uri Gellar,Jim Callahan plus numerous paranormal research groups helping him,you would think a protocol would be easy.

I seem to recall TP making a post to the effect "the protocol is ready and always has been"

Hate to tell you this but you just did fall into my trap.

A person who has real psychic ability would know what they can do and would be able to easily answer any questions. A person who does not have any ability would stall and take weeks to go nowhere.

 

[fromdownunder]

I just have one question for TP which I would like to add here in case he actually comes back with a prototype-protocol:

Why did you change your mind about having material contained in sealed envelopes as part of your protocol? You seemed faily "gung ho" in favour of this earlier. An answer to this may help in developing a protocol which may be more suitable.

As fromdownunder hasn't yet received a reply to his post #1261, even though The Professor has since managed to post to other threads, I'll try asking something similar.


The Professor - on October 3rd in the "How does the current financial crisis affect the Challenge funds?" thread you said -

BTW ...I have a protocol. I always have.
How did anyone miss it? Perhaps no one is actually reading what I've written?

Then on October 8th the protocol you have always had ... you haven't -

So does that mean you have the protocol ready for submission?

Yes, I am very close. As always I DO have help from others to keep on track.

We are entertaining the effects of this protocol ...
I am almost done with this but unfortunately someone closely involved in the application has passed away ...
The invocation for the protocol is almost completed ...

October 9th and the protocol is still MIA -

The protocol will continue soon. Others are still working on it in my absence.

October 10th and complaints about being rushed -

It seems that many here want to hurry the process in an attempt to get me to forget to dot the I's or cross the tTs.

How does that work? It's a week after you claimed "BTW ...I have a protocol. I always have."

 

[rjh01]

There is a simple answer to Snow's point. The protocol is going backwards. It starts off life fully written and posted in the forum. However over time it gets worse, first disappearing from the forum, then eventually disappearing without trace everywhere.

The Professor's statements are quite valid if you assume the above is correct. He could not understand on 8 October why we had not read the protocol, before it disappeared. Later it was near ready and later still he had many Ts to cross and Is to dot.

I predict he will later post that he has only just started writing it.

 

[The Professor]

I should have this finished and approved by my TV and Movie guys by next week.

Thanks for waiting.

You're gonna LOVE THIS!!!!!

The new EVP's are clear as a bell and the video is getting better too.

Why would TV and Movie guys need to approve your paranormal ability?

 

[petre]

It's entirely possible he's refering to a matter of converting the media to an appropriate format for web posting.

While the media itself is likely to be as exciting as...well...someone talking into a tape recorder...the quality of audio presented might be of use when developing a protocol.

Are these "TV and Movie guys" technicians, special effects experts, or script writers? Are you planning to read from a prepared script? I'm sure everyone would like to know if what is being prepared is a straight-forward protocol, or a combination protocol/show.

 

[Lrrr]

A few questions for The Professor

1. Are you planning on going ahead with a demonstration of your application this Oct. 31 even though it won't be part of the Challenge?

2. If not, why not? I believe if it is recorded (TV, Internet video) that it would provide valuable information to the big brains here to comment on a protocol. They could see exactly what you propose to do and may be able to identify areas that you protocol where cheating may be possible.

I thought you had learned your lesson way back when you were struggling to come up with a claim that didn't sound like you were describing a magic show. Well, I take that back. YOU weren't struggling with it, everyone else was. YOU were perfectly happy to describe a magic show rather than a paranormal ability.

It now sounds like you're doing the same thing with a protocol. You're having some sort of media people scripting a stage act. How much did you spend on them? Money down the drain, The Professor. A scripted stage act won't pass muster as a protocol.

How difficult can it be to come up with a paranormal claim and a protocol? Come on, think! You know what you're doing is as transparent as cling film, right?

Several people have advised you to stop the hand-waving and invited you to come back here to discuss a protocol. Misdirection in other threads isn't helping you any.

I will be demonstrating what has been happening and what will continue to reveal a Paranormal Connection.

 

[The Professor]

Why would TV and Movie guys need to approve your paranormal ability?

This is a Paranormal Event. After all this time I would think you would see the difference, but I guess you don't.

The Protocol will reflect this. I will be emailing the Protocol to Jeff very soon.

 

[The Professor]

At no time have I considered Envelopes of any kind. That simply screams of a Magicians Trick ... Just like Cards.

The ITC and EVP are looking good. The demonstration on Oct. 31st. should be very convincing.

As I asked before (and you seem to have ignored), why can you not just submit the protocol you already have? What's wrong with the one you used to demonstrate the phenomena to yourself?

So, I assume you were lying to me when you said this earlier on this same thread.:

One of the issues (or assumptions - it's hard to tell because the applicant is not being all that clear at the moment) on this thread appears to be that the challenger is going to be the one asking questions, presumably selected by himself.

So would an acceptable amendment to any potential protocol be that the questions should be designed by a person completely independant from both the Challenger and JREF, and handed to The Professor one at a time, each in a sealed envelope on the night of the challenge? The Professor then opens the envelope, asks the question, and everyone sees what happens.

Would that not eliminate any opportunity for pre recorded answers to be used? Or is the applicant insisting that the only acceptable questions are those which he himself has previously devised?

That's a great idea! And even to show how fair I can be. I will be willing to ask the same questions that Randi wanted to use when debunking a recent Medium. They are secret questions that I couldn't know. That should remove any doubt! I will use question designed by Randi himself! (Although I do want to ask their name, even if I am seeking Houdini himself)

Professor, you also need to respond to this, (also on this thread) which you appeared to miss reading:

With your World View, I doubt that you have ever taken me seriously, or anyone like me. So what's your point?

If you have noticed, there are quite a few rules and regulations. It's not JUST THAT EASY as some have stated.

Professor, if what you write above is true, why did you respond on another thread to me, on 2 October with this

TP. your inability to even keep your own story straight is showing. Perhaps you should see someone about your memory..

You folks seem to have an aversion for someone doing an efficient job.

I am challenging for a Million Dollars and I intend on doing it correctly by dotting the "i"s and crossing the "t"s.

I must work at my own pace. I have a very heavy work schedule as most already know. I've asked others for help and they are assisting.

This research has been under way for quite some time. Only now is any of it being released.

Many of your questions were answered before I even applied for the challenge. But I allowed everyone their say.

Now the new releases will point you in the right direction.

Your help would be appreciated.

I am not including any links as the last post that included one was deleted.

I am emailing Jeff Wagg this evening to clarify a few things if I can get some free time.

Thanks for your help.
I am looking forward to taking the Challenge on Oct. 31st

David Copperfield vanishing the Statue of Liberty looked convincing to people watching on TV,didn't make it anymore real.
Are you planning on a secure controlled demonstartion with agreed protocols,or are you and Jim just performing a poor magic act?

Translation. There will be no difference between a magician's trick and what the Professor will be demonstrating.

Very soon - Not this year.
