It had to happen

Post by Liszt » Thu Jun 14, 2007 4:09 am

I have been suspended from posting at the skeptic JREF forum

for stuff I said here

http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?t=84696

to think, I could have posted some real shit on these people. for example...

"- James Randi, was involved in a scandal in which, according to court records states: "The scientist's lawyers sought to discredit Mr. Randi by playing taped conversations of teen-age boys who called the magician's home allegedly for sex."
- [ Byrd v Randi (Civil Action No. MJG-89-636 in the United States District for the Court for the District of Maryland.] Transcripts of the tape are also part of the court record in Geller v Randi, (Civil Action No 91-1014-SSH in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The transcripts are contained in Exhibit 40 to Exhibit U]. In court Randi admitted that the tapes were real. "

if you want the source, send me a PM

Randi's own lawyers sought to discredit him ? (i thought Randi was a good guy, debunking various types of charlatans, magicians, religious nuts...)

And that thread where-in you were banned - seems those people contort logic to justify taxes that were never properly legislated into existence, basically saying doesn't matter, gov't needs taxes so you should pay ...

I read that thread, it had a lot of mistakes but talking to people like that wears me out they need a history lesson from ground one on. I was laughing and then thinking man I dont even know where to start there were so many strawmen.

Randi's corporation works for the government, so of course he isn't a good guy.

Randi tried to prove that Uri Geller was a fraud. but Randi is a fool who doesn´t seem to know how the world works, despit many people accusing him of being a gov psyop

Geller has connections, high level stuff, and fought back.

The only tollerated view on that forum is the official version (on everything. Global waring? They support al gore rather than the climatologists who put it down to the sun.)

Randi has connections to both Penn & Teller (they slag off anyone who disagrees with the official version. Actually, they called for violence against conspiracy theorists, saying that anyone caught with a 911 book should be "pushed down the stairs") and William Rodrigez, who used to work with Randi many years ago, which is an odd connection.

Some poeple on that forum are good people, others are not.

Yes, Randi really reminds me of someone alright that has been seen on many message boards.


If anyone around here is originally from Democratic Underground or Free Republic for instance, state so as I'm sure there's a few. The "Randi" person and his company has been all over those message boards too.



Funny how political free speech is no longer tolerated in an actual context. To have true free speech, you must go out of the realm of politics alltogether. Run your own blogs etc, go to boards like this one, speak your mind that way.

Randi best explained himself in his own remark,

"I am a charlatan, a liar, a thief and a fake altogether."

This is a guy who devoted his teenage years to the "art of deception", and founded the CSICOP, which has a reputation for suppressions, distortions and outright cover-ups.

James Randi is a professional (and successful) illusionist and con man. He's as credible as Fox News is.

My brother used to be a frequent poster at that site years ago. He, too, implied that someone should have killed themselves.

The admin at the time, Hal (an emo son of a bitch), called the police department of our town, who in turn called our school and then got my brother in trouble.

They're secular humanist leftists, and while they have a "higher than thou" mentality for being "rational free-thinking skeptics," they're the same purveyors of ad hominem attacks and groupthink of the people they claim to loathe.
