Paris critics savegely attacked by Scientologists

Written by Leslie Valentin

We live in a world where the general public is caught up by Paparazzi moments due to celebrities dating or breaking up, acting bizarre and fighting addictions amongst other issues. We also live in a time where the facts are not the key points but rather speculation, rumors and innuendos are. The world of reporting on people who are “in the spotlight” has purportedly assassinated the character of many, caused heartbreak for others, and yet for some, a major boost in ratings and popularity. The paranormal world of television or its “stars” are not immune from this.

This nation and probably much of the free viewing world has viewed recent behaviors by actor, Charlie Sheen.  His grandiose scheme of raging has not only lost him credibility, but also his contract with a television network as well as his job.

What is appalling is when persons such as Charlie Sheen and Mel Gibson are held accountable for their words and actions while others who throw hissy fits and tantrums are not.

I do not hate Chip Coffey nor do I dislike his misguided fans.

Some of his fans have written to me expressing concern about Mr. Coffey’s true intentions and in my opinion he  intends to silence those who speak out against him.

According to sources, (yes sources) Chip Coffey is attempting to rallying his dwindling paranormal affiliations and bring an insubstantial lawsuit against scifake for having an opinion. Sources close to Chip tell us that Chiparoo would like to shut down scifake for what he is describing libelous and slanderous accusations against him.

Really Mr. Coffey? Then we will have the right to challenge your inability to read minds and speak to the dead in a court of law! After all, you’re raping the weak of their hard earned money with your ambiguous talent  and you’re trying desperately to silence the truth with you abstruse threats. In my opinion, you’re a defunct magician who is about to be exposed and you’re desperately up against the eleventh hour.

Regardless if we are agree (or disagree), everyone should have the right to express an opinion and Chip Coffey is hoping to silence the dissent. Why? It’s my observation (and opinion) because he feels his livelihood of swindling people is coming to an end and people are beginning to see him for what he really is …a fake psychic and a phony medium! If not then I would challenge Mr. Coffey to prove me (and the rest) wrong.

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Pokemon: Westboro Sucks Ass and Ruins Funerals… and Makes Me Question the First Amendment, Which Makes Me Very Upset

I am really upset with one parent who viciously attacked me via Facebook because I questioned her son’s psychic abilities after watching a sophomoric interview (and one sided) about his pretend powers.

See the interview below and captured screen shots of my communication (via Facebook) with her son. You’ll determine there is NOTHING inappropriate with my emails and this lady (in my opinion) is a lose cannon and possibly she needs help. This article will be broken down into various parts. I don’t have time right now, but believe me, there is an epic rant coming.

Psychics – I’m holding nothing back.

All the psychics provide to people, who lets say, want to communicate with a dead loved one is platitudes and things they want to hear. It’s always responses like, “Your father loves you and wishes you will move on” it’s never “Your father was unfaithful to your mother for 20 years and wishes that he never had you.”

Psychics fall into two categories. They are either scammers or well meaning yet delusional people who honestly think they have some kind of power.  Psychics prey on grieving, desperate emotional people who have suffered some kind of loss or tragedy and are looking for closure or comfort. People also base important life decisions on the word of the charlatans and spend huge amounts of money on readings. Look up cold reading or hot reading to see how these people operate.

Here’s “Psychic Kids in a nutshell. The producers look for disturbed kids who think they’ve got magic powers, and then they’re flying in “professional psychics” to coach them in dealing with their awesome powers, i.e., indulge their delusions, get off on feeling superior to unhappy kids, and collect a paycheck for psychic child abuse. Not only are kids and their parents getting sucked into believing things with no solid evidence, but targeting children with documented psychological problems and giving them bogus solutions precludes them getting professional medical therapy and assistance they obviously could use. Even worse, televising the entire process normalizes the idea for the audience, which might include other troubled kids and parents who decide to try the same “solutions” with “paranormal experts” that aren’t monitored by  TV cameras.

The Middle East feminist revolution

I fucking forgot that this was even here! I won’t forget again. Tumblr in my not so humble opinion is a very worthwhile time investment. If you don’t already have a tumble-blog. get one.

?Last October we told you the dramatic story of young Daniel Montalvo, a 19-year-old who had been brought up in Scientology but had made a dramatic break for freedom — only to be thrown in jail by the LA Sheriff’s Office on behalf of revenge-minded Scientologists.

Since that time, we’ve kept in touch with Daniel and the actor Jason Beghe, whose Malibu ranch has been Montalvo’s protective sanctuary as Scientology continued to send private eyes and process servers at him.

Today, Daniel turns 20 years old. Yesterday, he filed two stunning lawsuits against Scientology with the help of attorney S. Christopher “Kit” Winter.

Winter helped Montalvo avoid the grand reaching that tends to characterize lawsuits against Scientology, and instead kept his complaints laser-focused on damning charges about how children are used by the church in troubling ways.

Specifically, Montalvo’s lawsuits paint a picture of a child who was essentially abandoned by his two Scientologist parents to the organization, was signed to a billion-year contract at only 6 years of age, and through his teens was forced to work up to 100 hours a week with only the barest schooling, and for wretched pay (about $35 a week).
