I cut my skeptical teeth on a series of exchanges with Zammit. He's an intelligent and thoughtful man ... who uses all of his intelligence to construct the most elaborate castles of self-deception that I have ever seen.
I know I can't believe how he dismisses the evidence in
The Psychic Mafia. I mean, like, dude, it's a trumpet, they're tied up, there's masks and stuff. It's the same bloody thing. Just knowing that people actually do this to other people blows my freakin' mind.
Actually I have you to thank for alerting me to that book on this forum years ago, when I was researching him. It's definitely the weirdest thing I have read in a long time. I came across
this audio of transfixed people listening to a guy pretending (badly) to be physical manifestation of Louis Armstrong and I was like woaow that's crazy stuff boy, gawwwwlie! Had to figure out what was really going on with these people.
His recent newsletter was just too good... I'm going to start up a thread..
Here's a peek

COMMENTARY: 'CLOSED-MINDED' J Randi's $1m CHALLENGE ' THE BIGGEST FRAUD IN PARANORMAL HISTORY'! Randi made a career out of being a closed minded skeptic - pushing negativism to its extreme. Most unfortunately he negatively influenced others into believing that that there is no afterlife. And these 'gullibles' completely swallowed his lies, his negative propaganda and his false logic - hook line and sinker.
In my video on youtube James Randi Challenge Exposed (videoed Sept.2010) exposing his hoax challenge I raised TEN clear, definitive points to show the challenge is the GREATEST FRAUD in paranormal history. Not ONE of the points raised has been rebutted by him or by anybody else.
But now he has made another video repeating his fraudulent claims - but hardly anyone takes notice. By and large, the academics and intellectuals ignore him - he's an embarrassment to them; the genuine scientists ignore him; anybody who can perceive the paranormal with true empirical equanimity ignores him.
Who then takes some notice of him? The LOSERS and DEFEATISTS of this world:- those uninformed materialists and others WHO DO NOT STUDY THE EVIDENCE for the afterlife or the paranormal. No genius materialist, no reductionist scientist, no closed minded skeptic, no stage magician, no Randi has been able to show in TEN YEARS - WHERE, WHEN, HOW and WHY the presented evidence for the afterlife is not valid.
I ADVISE all mediums - including SYLVIA BROWN, JAMES VAN PRAAGH, ALLISION DUBOIS (right) - and others NOT to take on Randi's alleged challenge because it is not a legitimate offer - IT'S THE BIGGEST HOAX IN PARANORMAL HISTORY because the way the challenge is drafted no psychic, no medium, no paranormalist - no one on earth can beat it!! The challenge is nothing but vicious propaganda aimed to fool, to deceive and to insult the applicant! Again I warn all gifted mediums NOT to have anythng to do with that hoax challenge!
WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO RANDI ON CROSSING OVER? Information directly form the afterlife tells us that on crossing over, if he or anyone else still has a dogmatic, absolute belief that there is no afterlife, that's exactly what he gets. At worst, he gets and sees - NOTHING - finding himself in complete darkness for eons of time... ahhhhhhhh!!!
$500,000 OFFER! UN-INFORMED SKEPTICAL 'DUMMY' SAYS of MEDIUMSHIP: "IT'S ALL 'COLD-READING!' Here are the facts:
There was some skeptical dummy who said that his skeptical friends would say that all mediumship is cold reading. Why is this uninformed skeptic - a real 'dummy'? Simply because cold reading according to the skeptics necessarily involves the medium 'seeing' the sitter, the medium 'asking' questions, the medium supposed to observe 'body language', the medium trying to extract information from the sitters in every way possible. .
- But what if the session is held in the dark so the medium cannot see anything?
- What if the medium is gagged and the gag around his mouth is sealed so he cannot speak?
- What if the medium is securely tied in his seat - hands, ankles.
- What if the medium is NOT talking at all before or during the session?
- What if the sitters are NOT talking or answering questions - and
only the 'afterlife intelligences' do most of the talking?
- What if a materialized entity proves he is solid, walks, talks and touches the sitters....
HOW ON EARTH CAN THAT BE COLD READING??? The sum $500,000 is up for grabs if the skeptics can duplicate what David Thompson can do. However if and when the closed-minded skeptics fail, the skeptics will have to hand over $500,000!
