Stop Sylvia Browne: Favorite Articles

[ExMinister]

Browne and the mentalizer. Loved that she actually seemed to think he had paranormal abilities: Sylvia Browne and the "Mentalizer"

The article on Chris Dufresne, when RSL agrees that he is just as talented as his mother (classic):
Christopher Dufresne: "His psychic ability is equal to Sylvia Browne's."

And the one with all of the contradictory versions about how Sylvia Browne met Francine. Good grief, how many versions could there be?? Sylvia Browne Contradiction: Meeting "Francine"

This article on such terrible callousness:Sylvia Browne Email: Face to Face With Sylvia Browne

I loved the way RSL figured out the real story behind this web site within such a short time and had an article up: Sylvia Browne's GoSylviaBrowne.com - A "fan site?"

And I thought the interview with the Dufresnes was one of the most powerful articles on StopSylvia.com because what Gary and Ree Dufresne had to say was so unforgettable. What a nice couple, and for him to have been accused in her public lectures all these years of being a dark entity is really rotten, IMO. Sylvia Browne Interview: Gary and Ree Dufresne

And this article about Janet McDonald was just too sad: Sylvia Browne Janet McDonald's Reading

OK, one more: Who can forget Sylvia Browne's Novus Spiritus: "These Freaks Only Come Out at Night"[/QUOTE]

I figure more folks might want to do this on their own websites, so I created a file that has all the article links in it, with appropriate link text to help goose Google. I've put it here:

Sylvia Browne Links on What's The Harm

I added this file to my sitemap.xml so Google should index it quickly. Feel free to copy hunks of it to your own websites, the more links the merrier.

Feel free to rearrange or edit, but always remember, you want to try to have "Sylvia Browne" in the link text to boost the site for that search.

Again?! Who is this guy?!

Well, I really enjoyd this email: Email: "My Experiences in the Early 70s w/Browne"

The person who wrote it sounds like such a sweetheart- but that's just my impression.

This one is also very interesting and a great test of her powers of prediction:

Sylvia Browne's Presidential Election Predictions

What to make of the fact that Sylvia is a Republican donor, I do not know...but she must be the only New Ager in America that donated money to President Bush!

This story was also very powerful: Email: "A Story" From 1984

And the prayer story was just hilarious:

Novus Spiritus: An Aramaic Prayer

Novus Spiritus Followup II to "An Aramaic Prayer?"

Many thanks to krelnik for doing all that work and finding the unlinked (at the time) articles.

I created a series of blog articles that listed them all - hopefully there are few enough articles per actual blog entry so as to avoid triggering Google's anti-Googlebomb defenses:

More Great Articles by Robert about Sylvia Browne

Yet More Articles about Sylvia Browne

Part Three in the List of Great Articles by Robert about Sylvia Browne

Can't Stop Posting Links to Robert's Great Articles about Sylvia Browne

Ye Gods, I Am So Sick of Sylvia Browne

The Train Wreck That is Sylvia Browne

Please feel free to take a look at the source and steal the HTML for your own articles, if you haven't posted all or part of this list already. (Edited to add: I see that krelnik has already done this. Ack!) And thanks to krelnik -- man, that was a lot of work, even with search and replace!

Edited to add: krelnik, if you know what the number of links is that triggers Google, let me know and I'll split out the list even further. -- JG

Ack! Please make sure you don't link to the old site. Gives the guy more traffic than he deserves. Use the code <a href="old site" rel="nofollow">old site</a> if you want to link to the site so that crawlers don't follow the links to his and give it more relevance.

I noticed, though, that the guy has now set up an email "stopsylvia@yahoo.com". Think he's trying to steal traffic from StopSylvia.com (in addition to snapping up the stopsylvia.net and stopsylvia.org domains after being full aware that Robert's ownership of the old domain lapsed because he was in a coma? A real winner, our guy.

Keep linking to fave articles here, tho. We can get Stopsylvia.com on top!

Just so he cannot claim we are spreading lies, it does not take much to find:

Slightly off topic:

Does anyone have the link to that b'leever forum where Robert kept his cool so admirably despite massive flaming by all the illiterates from there?

If you are talking about the thread he created in gosylviabrowne website, it was deleted soon after Robert was banned from the website. However that was not before I made a copy of it.

My favourite has to be the montage of the e-mails with Rosanna as she slowly comes around to accepting the evidence.

 

[krelnik]

Please, lets keep this thread on topic about "favorite articles". If you want to discuss the current owner of the old site, there's another thread for that.

FYI, if you need to post a "nofollow" link here in the forum, here's the trick:

(1) Make sure you uncheck "Automatically parse links in text". To see this option you have to click the "Go Advanced" button.

(2) Type the URL in your message, and surround it with the NFURL bbcode tag like this:

[nfurl]www.example.com/bad/guy/content.html[/nfurl]

(3) Be sure to leave off the "http://" part of the URL. The NFURL tag will add it back for you.

(4) If unsure, after you post your message you can use "View Source" or "View HTML" option in your browser to look at your link. You should see "rel="nofollow"" in the link.

I don't know if it's on that website, but I know it was a thread here. I have been looking for the one about the "Angel in the TV", where someone took a picture of an image on a big-screen TV that Sylvia Browne said was an angel. I had even enhanced the pic to see it better (here on the Forum). That is my biggest remaining puzzle yet, and I'd like to put it out again so new people can have a look at it.

I tried searching by the standard keywords, with either no luck or thousands of returns.

 

[EeneyMinnieMoe]

This is an awul story but a great example of how her readings can cause alot, alot, alot of damage:

Email: "What Sylvia Told My Grandma"

I'd recommend this one to anyone thinking of asking a psychic for medical advice:

Email: "He Will Live a Long Life"

Another terrible story:

Email: "My Sister Margaret and Me"

And another one:

Email: "Not a Good Woman"

I also loved the Jennifer Lopez story:

Sylvia Browne's Predictions: Jennifer Lopez

The peson who wrote this made me smile:

Montel: Civil War "Energy Implant"

I like this one because it's another one of mine:

Montel: Psychic Show Participation Release

I just stumbled across that one this morning when I was trying to find the thread Joe mentioned. The name of it is something like: "Please Help: Angel in the TV." If that doesn't work, let me know and I'll see if I can find it again and give you the date.

Many thanks to krelnik for doing all that work and finding the unlinked (at the time) articles.

Just wanted to second this. What a great idea. And an even bigger thanks for helping me with the links

I'm pretty sure the one I'm remembering was elsewhere. I think it pre-dated the GSB site.

Last week I listened to Brian Dunning podcast of Ten Most Wanted: Celebrities Who Promote Harmful Pseudoscience on Skeptoid. He had a link to Hal Bidlack's open letter to Montel Williams. Great reading.

(unfortunately, Hal Bidlack lost his election in Colorado, perhaps again in a couple of years)

I'm pretty sure the one I'm remembering was elsewhere. I think it pre-dated the GSB site.

Here it is. It was part of the Gosylviabrowne thread, at the end, RSL discussing a myspace series of conversations he'd been having, page 18: http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=76596&page=18

Opening up that thread brings up an interesting item. The original pics don't show because they link back to the original website. The original link:

As an experiment, I'll change the (copied) link to the new site and it should appear here:

Here is my enhanced version of the image in question:

If you have any input I'd like to direct you to the original JREF thread (thanks ExMinister) because I'd really like the definitive answer to this one!

SB claimed this was an Angel in the TV. Everyone else thinks it is a pic of something on the TV. This was taken on Christmas Eve in 2002, so keep the date in mind.

Campus Massacre email in which Robert shows that he is also capable of defending Browne against false accusations.

 

[TheAnachronism]

I'm really surprised that nobody has mentioned the article "Sylvia Browne's Money - Part 1". This completely shatters Sylvia Browne's long cultivated image of being a humble and poor servant to her gnostic god, and the second part (which I pray will be coming soon) should completely illustrate how full of avarice this wicked hag is.
