PREDICTION: Skeptic Mocks NASA Researcher With "Flying Pig Award" for Finding Life on Meteorites
Here's an interesting Psychic Prediction regarding Skeptics. The interesting thing about it is that it's one of the most renowned Skeptics John Randi.
One thing I had said is that when it comes to Psychic Events or "unwilling participants" that don't believe in the Psychic Field, you can't stop them from disagreeing or engaging in acts that are designed to debunk or discredit you as a Psychic.
However, you can choose the time and date for when they'll do it.
1) News states that John Randi as a world-famous Skeptic debunked Richard Hoover's claim about alien DNA found on a meteorite
2) I said in Blog Entry #3801579 about how 3/31/2011 was one of my best days ever with multiple news articles surfacing of Psychic Significance
3) John Randi's bio was posted 7/10 of 2007
4) 7/10 is when Wyoming became a State
5) I said that my Psychic Abilities revolve around people who have State Dates tied to them.
6) The person who first told me about John Randi and his million dollar challenge was Samantha in Maine born 7/13 of 1987
7) 7/13 is when Alabama rejoined the U.S. after a Civil War so it's a State Date as well

In fact, with Samantha, I had gotten her birthday wrong. I thought she was born 7/14 because I was aligning it with Sinopia's rape case for her daughter. Sinopia is born 4/28 for Maryland.
So in this case, we see John Randi who is spearheading a cause for debunking Skeptics surfacing in a News Article 24 hours after I was posting about how I had a really great day on 3/31/2011 regarding Psychic Manifestations.
With John Randi having a Bio on his web site posted 7/10 on a U.S. State Date, that's an example of how you can have the Unconscious Mind of a Skeptic align or configure himself to the Psychic Field. It's something subtle.
It's interesting because my stepdad just called the house asking me and my mum what we wanted on our Subway Sandwiches. I haven't had a Subway Sandwich since 6/19 of 2010 because I got Food Poisoning. I even posted about it in Blog Entry #3574086 mentioning how I programmed Robyn's birthday as one of my "bad days."
My claim is that it's when you have your Unconscious Mind program the days that you can have bad things happen to you because it's that saying:
"The Seen Evil is better than the Unseen Evil."
It's better to know what days bad things are going to happen to you so you can be prepared rather than be on high alert 365 days of the year. It's necessary to have a "purging" day. Robyn's birthday made sense.
In terms of John Ranid, he surfaces in the News on April Fool's Day. I said it marks the 7 Year Anniversary of when I last talked to Isabe11a Va1entine and where I played the "Fool." I should have known better than to talk to her. Although, she technically contacted me an hour before midnight on 3/31 of 2004, which was Ewan McGregor's birthday. He was in "Moulin Rouge."
I should point out that:
1) Moulin Rouge as MR is 13/18 symbolizing Mark of the Beast or the Anti-Christ
2) It's set in France for FR meaning Father
3) My Psychic Abilities stem from Adult Star Sunny Leone born 5/13 for the Virgin MOTHER. I come from the Mother side of things
4) The one who is born on a U.S. State Date is Nicole Kidman as 6/20 for West Virginia and the one who dies in the film
The character Satine dies of Tuberculosis, which is when the Lungs fill up with Water. Lungs are the Ruling Body Part of Gemini, which is my Astrological Sign. Water is Knowledge. So when a Gemini starts getting filled with Knowledge, it would look like Tuberculosis.
That also aligns with the Virgin Mary Theme because 6/20 can be rewritten as Virgo XX or Virgin Female. I had said in a Blog Entry yesterday that Mercury is the Ruling Planet of Gemini and Virgo. When it comes to the Union of parents, God as a Female can have Her Mind changed. It would be the Male Virgin Mary as Communication that can change God's Mind.
DEBUNKING
I, personally, wouldn't want to be at odds with John Randi. I don't know the person, and while we may disagree on certain things, I don't think it has to be a pitched battle.
I think we do need Skeptics.
I simply think that Skeptics have become "extremely powerful" in the same way that certain factions go unchallenged. When you're taking the position of a Skeptic, it's kind of an easy win because you have Science on your side.
Most "smart people" follow the path of the Skeptic. It's a good bet since most Psychics really are "ignorant."
The problem I have with many Psychics and why I don't get along with them is because they don't incorporate Science, Technology, Mathematics, or Computer Programming in their understaind of the Occult.
They just "take it on blind Faith" that there's something out there "that can't be explained" and you just "need to trust what's out there."
I don't go for that at all because I spent 29 years of my life in the Non-Psychic Field and the World of Science. I crossed over at age 29, and what I saw worked, but just taking on Faith that it defied Science wasn't good enough.
I needed to know.
That's why I used Reverse Engineering with the Psychic Technology I was given and dismantle the Technology to study all the components and figure out how it functions. I needed something we had in the World of Science that functions the same way so that I can visualize and compare.
That's where a lot of Psychics go wrong.
I don't know what methods of testing John Randi uses, but from what I've observed with Skeptics, many of the measuring sticks they use are not realistic either. That's because most Skeptics don't really know anything about the Psychic Field.
For example, it wouldn't surprise me if John Randi and I would disagree on how to measure or gauge whether I had Psychic Abilities. If I went to his Institute, he'd probably tell me to run through these tests that he and his team have devised.
I, on the other hand, will contend that the tools they are using to measure Psychics will not be effective in tracking the way mine work because it's set up to run on Geological Time. It takes weeks, months, and years to set things in motion because it functions like a Corporation or a business. A person is better off monitoring what I do based off of a Fiscal Year or Quarterly.
That's where we would be at odds.
The other tricky thing about the Psychic Field is that "there is no right way to configure your Psychic Abilities." It's just that most people have really bad tracking methods. They'll choose terrible systems where it's very hard to prove consistency or a pattern.
That's why with me, I have to take the stance that my strength revolves around U.S. State Dates:
1) I'm born on 5/29 for Rhode Island and Wisconsin
2) My Aunt is named Florida born on 3/30 for Texas and married to my Uncle born in Iowa
3) The Event in 2004 was with 6 people born on a total of 11 U.S. State Dates
4) The key person Isabe11a was born 11/11 for my home state of Washington
5) Both Isabe11a and I (Isabe1o) have the same name
6) Both she and I have birthdates on State Dates where you can subtract other U.S. States and land perfectly on another U.S. State Date
That's the pattern. I make it clear that my Strength is revolving around U.S. State Date Themes. I tell people that when I influence other people's minds or pull them to me, I'm plugging into the Earth's Electromagnetic Field as a Communication Grid and where their Subconscious Mind will receive a transmission.
I'd point out that the reason why my Abilities, and most other Psychics, don't do Telepathy is because that's a very dangerous Power. The ability to read minds and predict in that way can lead to a lot of problems.
When I say that I can "influence" people it is to a limited degree. It has to be someoen who doesn't realize they're being manipulated or influenced. Case in point, John Randi thought that his bio posted on 7/10 doesn't mean anything. However, it means soemthing to me with 7/10 symbolizing the State of Wyoming and a U.S. State.
That's a way you can subtly influence a Skeptic into doing something where they aren't even aware of what it is they're doing.
Bear in mind that when I say this, it's not meant as an attack or like some Ego Trip of, "Oh, look at me! I'm better than you because I can wriggle my fingers and COMMAND you to DO MY BIDDING!!!"
It's nothing like that. It's just how an "Aura" works where you program your Aura like a Software Program giving instructions as to what it is that you're seeking in terms of resources. Your Subconscious Mind, upon given instructions, will start networking with other Subconscious Minds to find those resources.
However, once again, this comes back to the Dog Training Aspect. It takes practice. You can't just attempt what I'm doing and suddenly have it work. It took me 3 years to get to this level from 2004 - 2006. Then it took me another 3 years to perfect it even more.
Anyone else trying it has to give it time to develop like a habit. It takes 21 days to form a habit. That's being generous. The Mind is like a Muscle. You have to tone and condition your Mind to get it in shape so that it can "benchpress" that amount of weight like your body would.
If you are out of shape and have never exercised, it's folly to try lifting a 200 lbs. barbell. Your body is not conditioned to lift that much weight. Your body will fail. That's what will happen with someone reading my Blog and trying to copy me expecting instantaneous results.
Just as you have to work hard to exercise and get the body you want, you have to do the same thing to get your Mind in shape. There's no easyor quick fix. You have to work for it like anything else.
SOME SKEPTICS AREN'T GOOD AT DEBUNKING
There's another article that surfaced the same time that John Randi's article did today.
It's about the UFOs that are Road Flares tied to Balloons.
My claim is that as Skeptics "win" all the time in arguments is that you also get "cheap quality Skeptics" that don't do thorough debunking. You can have Skeptics that get sloppy with their analysis. However, since there is such a large following of Skeptics, it gets shoved under the rug.
Confidence is a 2-way street.
The reason why Skeptics are very harsh on Psychics is because you don't want Psychics to start becoming confident in their abilities.
When I say that, I don't mean it's totally about Oppression.
The fact is, there are a lot of STUPID PSYCHICS OUT THERE.
I mean, really. There are.
I'd go so far as to say that 90% of the people claiming to be Psychics have really terrible methods and reasoning that they've used to convince themselves that are Psychic.
Now, obviously I realize I'll take a lot of flack where people will accuse me of falling into that category. However, I still continue to stress that I came from the World of Science and Computer Programming and didn't get my abilities till age 29.
The only way I could understand the Psychic World was by comparing it to the World of Computers and Cyberspace. That made sense to me. So as one explores a whole new world, one will try to identify with this new world with elements understood from the old world.
That's what I claim distinguishes me from your typical Psychic. Because I come from the World of Science and Mathematics, my Psychic Abilities took on the form of a Psychic Science or Psychic Math.
As I was taught by my 9th Grade Geometry:
ALWAYS SHOW YOUR WORK
That's why I will set up my Psychic Predictions like Math Proofs where you have to write out LINE BY LINE how you came up with your Psychic Prediction. To just give an answer is like looking in the back of the book.
As my Geometry Teacher told us, "I don't care if you have the right answer. If you don't show me your work, I'm going to mark your answer as WRONG."
That was the best thing our Geometry Teacher could ever have done for us in teaching Geometry and how to write Mathematical Proofs. You had to show the step by step process of how you get from one line to the next.
Computers are the same way when you're making a Software Program using their Programming Language. You cannot assume with a computer how you jump from one step to the next.
The same thing is seen in writing an Essay.
Even though the English Teacher already knows the subject, you can't just assume certain facts or think that the teacher follows your train of thoguht. You have to be CLEAR and CONCISE in your Introduction, Conclusion, and the Supporting Paragraphs.
One Business Professor taught us that when you're writing an essay, take the conclusion from your very first draft and use it as the Introduction Pargraph and Thesis Statement of your 2nd Draft.
She said that usually what happens is that what is written in your 1st Draft was developed using INDUCTIVE REASONING. What your Professor wants is DEDUCTIVE REASONING.
An example of Inductive Reasoning is Direct Sales. That's why people hate Direct Sales Telemarketers. They never tell you what it is that they're trying to accomplish until the end.
That's how a lot of Psychics are when they give their so-called "Predictions." They leave it open-ended where you'er just being led around by the nose. People, especially logical people, don't like that.
They want you to tell them right from the start what you're going to do and where you're going to go.
Children use Inductive Reasoning when they try to sell their parents on something that they know that their parents aren't going to want to spend on if the child flat out told them at the beginning what it is they want to buy.
That's how you get sneaky children.
It's also seen with Employers. They use a variation of Inductive Reasoning as to how an Employee can get promoted. They never say flat out what the criteria is to get promoted. So the information is hazy.
That's how you get Skeptics that don't like Psychics. That's how you get bad Psychics that don't understand Inductive and Deductive Reasoning.
Amusingly enough, this Blog in ITSELF is an example of Inductive Reasoning.
When you first start reading this Blog Entry, you have no clue at the beginning what the Heck the content is about. You're just being led around by the nose by what I'm saying.
If I wanted to write a really GOOD Blog Entry with Deductive Reasoning, I'd take the last portion of this Blog Entry, build a new one, and start with this as my Thesis Statement. Then I'd go point by point.
However, I'd point out that this is my Blog so I can write however I want. I'm not trying to win an Award for Writing.
I believe that Skeptics and Psychics are both guilty of not knowing how to develop effective check list for measuring Psychic Abilities because so little is known about the Occult and where there are few reliable or consistent patterns that can be used as a means of determining whether an indivdiual has Psychic Abilities or not.

Ever since three red lights in a triangular formation were seen and videotaped over Lafayette, Colo., there's been a flurry of online sparring between skeptics and ufologists over what was in the sky on the evening of March 20.
First the background: A formation of three red lights was observed over Colorado. They were caught on video by Lafayette resident Leroy Vandervegt after his son Nick spotted them in the sky.
The lights were described as continuous, unblinking, hovering silently in the air and moving together in the same triangular pattern until they faded away.
Vandervegt never suggested the lights were aliens visiting his neighborhood.
So, what could most likely explain the Colorado lights?
"Road flares tied to balloons," wrote Benjamin Radford, Bad Science columnist at LiveScience.
Radford, who is also managing editor of Skeptical Inquirer magazine, mentions that "the formation of the lights is consistent with independently moving objects, not fixed lights on an aircraft."
And yet, he also confirms that "as can be seen in the video and from eyewitnesses, they all moved in one direction together, stayed in more or less the same formation while in the same air currents."
Bradford maintains that because the slow-moving lights were silent and eventually faded away, this supports the idea of dying road flares. "It's not surprising that eyewitnesses could not identify the objects, since most people have not seen road flares tied to balloons in the night sky," he added.
Of course, a look at the reader comments beneath Bradford's story reflects the outrage felt by those open to the possibility of extraterrestrials.
"How do you keep balloons floating in what appears to be an equilateral triangle formation?"
"The fact there is no smoke visible in the video absolutely proves these were not flares. How can a skeptic miss the most obvious fact from the video?"
"Three helium balloons with 15-foot string and enough drinking straws to keep the balloon strings rigid. Three super bright red LEDs taped to cell batteries and to the balloons. Tie the strings together at the bottom, then tie each balloon at the top with three identical lengths to keep them separated from one another and voila: freak out the population."
"When it comes to solving a mystery like this, a professional debunker is just as untrustworthy as a UFO fanatic. ... Any 'flare and balloon' theory must remain as a theory only until thoroughly determined whether such a theory is scientifically feasible. As a REAL scientist, I am not saying that this UFO is either a hoax or something extraordinary."
For another opinion, AOL News reached out to Jon Nowinski, director of the Connecticut-based Smoking Gun Research Agency, a group that investigates "all things fringe."
"It's difficult to tell anything from footage like this, as objects are on a black sky, which makes it impossible to judge size, distance or maneuverability," Nowinski wrote in an e-mail. "They do however, seem to move at the same speed and stay the same distance."
Earlier this year, the Smoking Gun Research Agency investigated a series of similar lights videotaped in the sky over Connecticut, referred to as the "Newtown UFO." In that case, Nowinski's research team determined the objects were paper lanterns.
"People were all too quick to make the jump from UFO to alien craft," Nowinski wrote. "We try to emphasize in much of the work that we do that a UFO simply means unidentified."

For high-resolution headshots of James Randi, click here.
James Randi James Randi has an international reputation as a magician and escape artist, but today he is best known as the world's most tireless investigator and demystifier of paranormal and pseudoscientific claims.
Randi has pursued "psychic" spoonbenders, exposed the dirty tricks of faith healers, investigated homeopathic water "with a memory," and generally been a thorn in the sides of those who try to pull the wool over the public's eyes in the name of the supernatural.
He has received numerous awards and recognitions, including a Fellowship from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation in 1986.
On October 19, 1993, the PBS-TV "NOVA" program broadcast a one-hour special dealing with Randi's life work, particularly with his investigations of Uri Geller and various occult and healing claims being made by scientists in Russia.
He is the author of numerous books, including The Truth About Uri Geller, The Faith Healers, Flim-Flam!, and An Encyclopedia of Claims, Frauds, and Hoaxes of the Occult and Supernatural. His lectures and television appearances have delighted - and vexed - audiences around the world.
In 1996, The James Randi Education Foundation was established to further Randi's work. Randi's long-standing challenge to psychics now stands as a $1,000,000 prize administered by the Foundation. It remains unclaimed.

Skeptic Mocks NASA Researcher With 'Flying Pig Award' for Finding Life on Meteorites

When NASA astrobiologist Richard Hoover announced, again, last month that he'd found evidence of microscopic life on meteorites, he probably didn't expect to receive the high honor of a Flying Pig Award.
But now, the man who some claim is the scientific equivalent of the boy who cried wolf, has just been named one of the top five charlatans of the year.
Every April 1, the James Randi Educational Foundation hands out Flying Pig Awards to dubiously honor what founder James Randi describes as "the most deserving charlatans, swindlers, psychics, pseudo-scientists and faith healers -- and on their credulous enablers, too."
A handout photo from 2003 shows NASA Astrobiologist Richard Hoover.
NASA
Astrobiologist Richard Hoover cultures extremophiles, microorganisms that can live in extreme environments, in the astrobiology laboratory at the National Space Science and Technology Center (NSSTC) in Huntsville, Alabama in 2003.
This year, the Flying Pig Awards are going to "lucky" recipients in five categories, including Hoover, who has claimed to find evidence of life in meteorites three times in the last 14 years.
Hoover's theory is that life began before the first stars formed and was spread throughout the early universe on meteors. Although AOL News and others reported on his findings, Randi's foundation points out that the theory is unsupported by scientific evidence -- or by many scientists.
It doesn't take a pseudo-psychic to predict that Hoover, who is based in Huntsville, Ala., is not amused by the honor.
"I've never heard of them, but they might be able to make more intelligent claims if they actually read the paper," Hoover told AOL News. "There are a number of papers in peer-reviewed literature detailing this research. There's nothing that hasn't already been reported by independent research."
And while the Randi Foundation has never paid out on its standing offer of $1 million to anyone who can prove psychic ability under laboratory conditions, it's predictable that Hoover will not be mentioning his Flying Pig Award on his curriculum vitae.
"I stand by what I said, but I don't want to get into mud slinging," he said. "I showed images of micro-fossils in meteorites that experts in the field recognize as the fossilized remains of prokaryotic microorganisms."
Meteorite structures
Richard Hoover/Journal of Cosmology
Are these meteorite structures, seen under a scanning electron microscope, evidence of extraterrestrial life? While NASA scientist Richard Hoover makes this claim, renowned skeptic James Randi calls him a charlatan.
But while Hoover claims his work has been peer-reviewed, it should be noted that Paul Hertz, chief scientist of NASA's Science Mission Directorate, made a point to distance the agency from the research because it hadn't been "thoroughly examined by other qualified experts."
Besides Hoover, the Randi Foundation is handing out a Pigasus Award to TV doctor Mehmet Oz. Randi is amazed that the Harvard-educated cardiac physician insists on promoting faith healing and quack "energy medicine" such as Reiki on his syndicated TV show.
"This year, he really went off the deep end," Randi said. "In March 2011, Dr. Oz endorsed 'psychic' huckster and past Pigasus winner John Edward, who pretends to talk to dead people. Oz even suggested that bereaved families should visit psychic mediums to receive (faked) messages from their dead relatives as a form of grief counseling."

James Randi has an international reputation as a magician and escape artist, but today he is best known as the world's most tireless investigator and demystifier of paranormal and pseudoscientific claims.
Oz also won the dubious honor last year but Randi says he is so uniquely deserving that he will be the first person to win a Pigasus two years in a row.
Other Flying Pig Awards and their recipients:
* "The Funder Pigasus Award" goes to CVS/pharmacy, which Randi says continues to sell "homeopathic" medications despite clinical trials that prove homeopathy is useless.
* "The Performer Pigasus Award" goes to televangelist Peter Popoff, who recently made $23.5 million in one year by offering "supernatural debt relief" through infomercials on BET. However, Popoff went bankrupt in 1987 after Randi exposed him for using a secret earpiece to receive information about audience members from his wife.
* "The Refusal to Face Reality Award" goes to debunked autism researcher Andrew Wakefield, who launched the modern anti-vaccine panic with unfounded statements linking the MMR vaccine with autism that were not borne out by any research, even his own. Although various respected medical journals have called his work an outright fraud, and evidence suggests he falsified data in order to exploit the panic for financial gain, Randi says Wakefield continues to believe he is the victim.
Although the awards are announced publicly on April 1, Randi says he traditionally lets the winners know in advance through telepathy.
To date, none of them have responded back.
