Retired Australian attorney and author Victor James Zammit has in December 2011 released news titled “Justice Done!” in his report on litigation between a skeptic and psychic. His breaking news apparently due to his own perceptions of what might be relevant to readers completely ignores substance while pushing facades.
● The report he cites wasn’t credible to begin with --- though he clearly sees no problem in replicating it as breaking news while never identifying its source. Nor does he mention that the actions he reports took place in a small county court and are more than 25 years old. Apparently the original source of his information was the 1986 tabloid Alien Invasion & Psychic News. Not an actual court ruling or transcript from the court room. Or perhaps highly edited telephone depositions rather than courtroom testimony furnished by the psychic he cites?
● As an Australian paranormal writer Victor Zammit fails to mention the litigation between the Noreen Renier and the same skeptic proceeded for years through multiple courts. In 2006 and 2007 a U.S. federal court judge ordered the same psychic ordered to pay back to the same skeptic not just the entire $25,000 she originally won but amounts far greater. Including more than $10,000 to purchase back assets held by the court for payment to the skeptic.
● He ignores that debtor Noreen Renier declared bankruptcy in 2008 listing unpaid debts to the same skeptic (and now her principal unpaid creditor) in 2009 of over $40,000 and in 2011 initially failed to report more than $100,000 in income and assets. In 2011 Noreen Renier was found not credible by a U.S. federal judge and in his order was noted for misleading the federal court.
● In litigation again with the same skeptic Noreen Renier lost an appeal before another U.S. District Court in July 2011.
Of course author Victor Zammit can bring up all this information easily on any search engine. So his breaking news is apparently designed to ignore key items.
The man is, like many of the psychics he cites, apparently skilled in releasing information that ultimately is highly biased toward irrelevance. In calling Noreen Renier a “gifted psychic” and citing a case in-directly involving FBI agents --- a case where Renier’s own testimony was disproved in 2006 and 2007 by eye-witnesses to the event --- he also has turned the tables on what little sense of fairness he might have held.
And as the skeptic he cites I’m certainly aware his innuendo and intent might be seen as clever but far from intellectually inspired or fair minded. But that clearly doesn’t seem to matter as Noreen Renier is just one of many “gifted psychics” that writer Victor Zammit has backed using the same flips and flops, exclusions, and decade old edited reports to try and disguise dog droppings as eatable desserts.
