Robbie Thomas--The Liar

Well robbie is at it again, and again.
First a press release from robbie claims a hate group tried to pull an anthrax scare at his appearance in Sarnia. here is a blog written by sarniaskeptic about that farce.


Robbie Thomas is not a psychic and not a very good liar (Or: Anthrax Attacks & Hate Groups)
Robbie Thomas' clan is claiming that two respectable businessmen who handed out information regarding Robbie Thomas' failures and lies are part of a hate group. (Damn it, why can't I be part of a hate group? It sounds much more fun than doing good things for the sake of doing good things.)

Let me make this clear (especially if I'm part of this hate group and haven't received my membership card): I am not connected with the Caughlin family and, as far as I know, nobody else who contributes to this blog (or is actively trying to expose Robbie) is connected with them. The Caughlin family provided information to myself and others in an attempt to have Robbie stop using their family in his promotions and to help put a "face" on his disgusting acts. I support, fully, the Caughlin family in their attempts to bring a close to their unsolved case and the focus of my blog will remain on skepticism of all sorts. The fact that Robbie Thomas is a liar and a fraud is independent of (though additionally proven by) the Caughlin case.

Below is an excerpt from the Press Release that Robbie Thomas' friend/promoter/'talent manager', John Ramses, sent out: (Note: I removed the bullshit about Robbie and the Caughlin case as much as I could - the first part is left in as I countered the claim in the statement above). My comments are in blue.

Mr Thomas has been recently attacked by a local sarnia-based hate group who has connections in the Caughlin issue (Wrong.). Their web site attempts to defame and slander Mr Thomas (attempts? heck, we must try harder. Oh wait, telling the truth isn't slander - I guess we're not attempting anything of the sort.) in hope to discredit Mr Thomas in the public eye should he talk of his knowledge and participation in the Caughlin case (wrong again, we're hoping to discredit "Mr." Thomas whenever he claims to have psychic abilities. His claim to be involved in the Caughlin case, however, makes him a lying scumbag.).


The same hate-group recently disrupted a performance at the Imperial Theater in Sarnia (sorry, you are not permitted to redefine the word "disrupted", you idiot.), where Mr Thomas was performing a show, by harassing patrons (they handed out fliers to patrons, held the doors for patrons and even loaned one of the 'attendees' a lighter so she could light her cigarette - that's not harassment, that's courtesy - something that Robbie doesn't give.) and handing out white (they weren't white, I have one) sealed envelopes with orders (yeah, orders - the label says "Thank You & Enjoy The Show" and has a note to open when they get to their seats) not to open the envelopes until they were inside and seated.

Many patrons left the venue (none left, so the next part of the line is bullshit) fearing a possible anthrax attack (really? Robbie Thomas & John Ramses are such f__king scumbags that they'd suggest that people who are against psychic frauds would try to kill innocent and trusting people who happen to believe that Robbie Thomas isn't lying?). Of those who remained to see the show, only 40 made it inside (this doesn't make any sense - either they made it inside and then left the show or they didn't make it inside the show - the answer is far less crazy than John and Robbie will have you think. Robbie sold fewer than 40 tickets prior to the doors opening - that means that there would be fewer than 40 people attending the show, which, from what I'm told, was the case.) before the theater manager shut and locked the doors fearing for the safety of his crew and patrons. (I'd suggest that if the manager shut and locked the doors for any fear it was because John Ramses or Robbie Thomas LIED to the theater manager about what might happen. I doubt that I'd be the first to suggest that Robbie Thomas would go so far as to lie. I've met everyone who was involved in the 'information session' and I can, confidently, say that they posed no threat and the people working the theater had no reason for worry UNLESS they were lied to about the situation.)

Police were called to the scene but according to Mr Thomas' manager, John Ramses, who spoke to the Sarnia police of the incident, no one was arrested (because no crime was committed) and the contents of the envelope were not investigated (Somebody is lying - if a videotape shows the police officer opening the envelope and apparently reading the information inside would Robbie Thomas' crew be lying? Just curious.).

Mr Ramses, who is an Australian resident and both promoter and talent manager for Robbie Thomas, is currently seeking legal action against the Sarnia based hate group on several accounts. (Are you serious? If I couldn't verify the press release to be authentic, I'd be calling "bullshit" on this one. If this is supposed to be serious, let me apologize now for this: ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Robbie and John should be a comedy duo. That's frickin' funny - I don't care who you are.)

Here it is again, without my in-line comments:

If you want the original press release, email me at sarniaskeptic@gmail.com. It is a mish-mash of hardly cohesive statements filled with falsities and lies (as you can see above). It misrepresents the truth and furthers Robbie Thomas' attempt to suggest involvement in the resolution of a crime that (to this day) remains unsolved. Robbie truly is that big of a slimeball. Oh.. and he's not psychic either. His solved cases counter remains at 0 (zero, zilch).

Now it has been announced that robbie has canceled his San Francisco and Colorado Springs appearances because of a 'family illness'. I certainly do not wish any ill will towards robbie's family, they suffer enough being in his presence, of that I am sure.
i also am very saddened that robbie will miss the chance to 'meet up with me' as he has threatened to do so many times.
Now for dick move #2 from robbie. here is an article which makes his level of compassion and intelligence quite clear i think......

This is from The Observer in Canada
http://www.theobserver.ca/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=2490439

A self-styled psychic criminal profiler has apologized for critical comments he made about the sister of Karen Caughlin amid withering criticism from the slain Sarnia teen's family.

Robbie Thomas, who also lives in Sarnia, said this week on an Internet radio show that one of Caughlin's sisters -- who's made numerous appeals for help solving the 1974 homicide -- has "forgotten" about the case's importance.

Those comments came days after a Thomas show at Sarnia's Imperial Theatre, where he says he steered clear of mentioning the Caughlin case at the family's urging.

"Karen's not a statistic, she's not a case number, she's a person and people have forgotten that," Thomas told the All Souls Paranormal Radio Network in an interview e-mailed out by his management company.

"Even her family member has forgotten that and still insinuates that certain things shouldn't be said."

Contacted Friday, Thomas -- who says he regrets making the comment -- said he was referring to Kathy Caughlin, a sister of the victim who has criticized Thomas for mentioning the case in promoting his live shows.

His apology, however, got little traction with her Friday.

"I think that is the lowest thing somebody can say," Kathy Caughlin, reached at her Alberta home, said. "This is disrespect in the highest form. It just gets me so angry."

The unsolved slaying of 14-year-old Karen Caughlin will reach its 36th anniversary on Tuesday. Its receiving increased public interest amid a renewed effort by OPP investigators.

Though Thomas's websites make no mention of Caughlin, a cached version of a site linked to his management company says shows on his tour that starts this month will discuss "his involvement with such high-profile cases as . . . Karen Caughlin" and several others. It's unclear when the references were taken down.

The Caughlin sisters say they met with Thomas once, in 2005, but Kathy and her sister, MaryLou Schwemler, both say they didn't speak with him again.



Thomas says he means no harm to the Caughlin family and has no plans to discuss the case during his tour. When asked about the Wednesday radio interview, he said he was on the air to support a woman named Michelle, who also appeared on the show and claims to have witnessed the Caughlin slaying.

The Caughlin family members are familiar with her claims but are unfazed by them.

"You don't want to hurt nobody, you want to help," Thomas said Friday. "I don't mean (the Caughlins) no harm, we all want this solved, we all want to do this right."

Schwemler says she wants Thomas to stop talking about the case altogether.

Thomas is not unfamiliar with high-profile area crimes and not without supporters. He worked with the paternal relatives of Woodstock girl Victoria Stafford before her body was found and his efforts were praised by the girl's father's sister.

I do not know how much proof I need to present to make it clear what type of person we are dealing with when it comes to robbie thomas. There are still those who are critical of myself, Polly, Bishop Long, Frances Etienne, Sarniaskeptic and Bobby Zoeller. I mean Frances has told the story of how she was tricked by robbie thomas and ripped off by him. she has no reason to lie about the events which happened to her, if anything it has caused her much grief. Kudos to her for telling the truth and shame on those who have criticized her for it.
As for myself, Polly, Bobby, the Bishop, and Sarnia, we have presented facts, facts we can back up. The people who have been critical of us seem to have no interest in what those facts are, they just back up robbie 'just because' or because they call him 'friend' or have something to gain if robbie keeps doing his thing unchecked.
It is in no ones best interest to allow robbie to continue. In my opinion, he is a coward, a fake, a fraud, and a liar. I know these things from personal experience. If you want to deny the facts, I am sorry for your level of moral responsibility and lack of intellect......

Music

Music is a funny thing. I don't know how we evolved to play and appreciate it but we have, that can not be denied.
Even as small children we will start to bounce and wave our arms around, smiling to a catchy tune.
Before we can even talk, the music hits us in a way that we can not resist.
Some of my earliest memories can surface just by hearing a certain song. the power music has to effect us in so many ways is something I have always found interesting. Music can sooth you in times of stress, it can also send you to the depths of sadness as it reminds you of your lost love.
The simplest of songs on the playground can bring together a group of children and make a campfire seem that much warmer.
A mothers soothing voice, singing about things we know nothing about can drive away the monsters and provide a sense of warmth which lasts through the dark night.
Even as adults we start to sway and tap our feet to a tune that touches our spirit, never minding how we appear to others, the music has taken us over.
When I am in a good mood you can hear me singing in the rain as I shower, like a sick songbird, oblivious of the others I may be offending....after all music is what you make of it.

Handi What???

When I was a kid my Dad and Mom had weekend season tickets to the Oakland A's games. I like baseball because it is a sport that takes it's time and I find it enjoyable to watch.I was never very good at it but that didn't stop me from playing in the street with my friends in my youth.
I went to my son's first baseball game today. To clear up a formality he has cerebral palsy...I was wondering how the event was going to roll out because he does not have the muscle control to hold a bat and swing at a ball he is also limited to a wheelchair. It was a great day for baseball though and Beth and I were happy to be able to attend the event. We greeted Christopher and his Mom (who is a great mom btw) and took our seats in the bleachers. One of the ladies who was running the event came up and asked if there were were any volunteers to be catcher....I sat up and told her I would do it....after being warned about random flying bats I took my place behind the plate setting the ball on the tee as needed and directing the kids what direction to run after the ball was knocked in some direction. As I handled (and dodged) the baseball bats and balls I had in the back of my mind people who make fun of the disabled...they are ignorant. These kids were having a great time and very aware of what they were doing. The sun was shining, the wind was blowing, the crowd was cheering and clapping, it was awesome.
There were no parents expecting any more from their kids than what they could naturally achieve. There was no yelling except in support. The best thing was there were no 'outs' every child got to base, every child got to run to home plate, and every child got to go to bat 2x. These kids were happy with who they were and what they could do...I think we could all learn a lesson from them....Some times I think it us, the people without disabilities who are really disabled at appreciating what we can we can do and what we have been given.....

Inactive God

So I am watching the BBC news...They are covering the top news events and I hear more about wars, lots of wars. The reason for 90% of the wars covered in this days broadcast? Religion.......fights over whose god is the right one. People hacked and burned and shot over a god who allows this to go on in his name. Am I crazy to think it is all crazy? I know it's gone on for thousands of years and it will go on but I can not find any rational reason for it. I suppose I must put the mandatory disclaimer in about now to let people know I understand all religious people do not kill and maim in the name of their god. Some religious people do though, that is a fact. To kill babies, women, children, to take any life because people believe in a different god than you has got to be one of the most saddening and sickening things I have ever had to hear and see in my life. The most frustrating thing about it is my inability to stop it.......I wish the god these people believe so strongly in would lend a hand but that seems unlikely to happen...how ironic I guess he just watches much like I do to the BBC news. I wish he was just as sickened by the actions of those who claim to act in his name. What a grand plan he must have....

Walk On

I do a few radio shows, and over the years I have dealt with many different individuals. The people I am currently dealing with are Knocker Lee and Todd Sheets. Knocker and I go back a while and we make a great team. Todd and I also go back a while but just recently started doing the radio thing together. I have said this before and will say it again. Todd is nothing less than a stand up guy. Todd is on top of things at Jackalope Radio. Many people have a problem with Reapsowradio, they call me an asshole and say I do nothing but destroy. Well to that I say Yes! I do destroy, at least I try to destroy ignorance. I always check my information to make sure it is accurate. I have heard Todd is catching some slack lately over several things. Here is my opinion on those issues.

1. People are mad about Reapsowradio on Jackaloperadio.com. Jackalope Radio has a variety of shows on and that is what life should be about...variety! If people don't like my show, don't listen....It is that simple! Todd and I have spoken about it and he assures me Reapsowradio is going to stay part of the line up. Bless him for that! If anyone has an issue with my show, or its content, I would suggest they contact me and leave Todd alone.

2. Jackalope had an issue with their server going down. Anyone who wants to criticize Todd for a server going down in Germany needs to at least try learning about how the world works. Technology is grand but sometimes it fails. All mechanical things fail from time to time. Have any of the people who want to jump on Todd ever had a car breakdown? Has your washing machine ever stopped working? Has the power ever gone out at your home? The ignorance in blaming Todd for a hard drive failure across the Atlantic amazes me, in fact I would have to call it plain stupidity.

3. Jackalope stealing shows. Parachallenged radio was allegedly stolen from ASPRN. Kathy Barts has come out saying this is not true. My feelings on this are.....Kathy has the right to do with her show whatever the hell she likes. PERIOD!~

4. Some people expect something for nothing....and then some! Todd has gone out of his way for some people to help their shows get on the air, and succeed. He has shown this on many occasions with myself and others. The problem is when you do things for others just because you want to help often times those people start to take your help for granted and expect to keep giving. I have had this happen to me and to a certain level it is natural. I certainly don't expect a "thank you" every day but when people start to talk smack because the favors you have done do not meet up to their expectations then that is selfish and childish.

5. People going into the Jackalope chat and talking shit. This is low classed in and of itself but when you do it and the other party isn't even there to answer to your attack it is just chicken shit. If the people who were involved read this I would suggest you try to grow a spine and quit acting like scared little morons.

As I have said I have been doing radio for a while, and If you are new to it let me suggest you realize the fact you don't know it all, and like everyone else, you never will. Face it, and walk on.

Friends

I have made a few new friends this week. The truth is you can never have too many friends. The best thing about the friends I have made this week is we will not always see eye to eye. I don't expect to, in fact I don't want to...
If I was to think back to when I first started writing and voicing my opinion then I would have to admit being a bit of a prick..at times.
Some would say I still am, and at times..... or to certain people, that would be correct.
The important thing I have realized as I meet more people and grow my contact with people of differing opinions and perspective is, no one is always correct and very seldom is anyone always wrong (there may be a couple of exceptions to this, the jury is still out)
It is really amazing the way a person can have friends of such different perspectives, if you always associate with people who think just like you and always agree then that is too bad. You will lose out on ideas and opinions that may just help you to enjoy your time on earth, or at least make it more interesting.
Just by having a conversation with someone you disagree with instead of slamming them or labeling them as 'stupid' or 'silly' then you could very well discover that maybe you are not so far apart. I can attest to that fact, it has happened to me more times than I can count. Even if you do not agree with someone you should at least try to understand why they see, think, or feel the way they do and remember...You are not that person, you do not know their story and you never will unless you try, and who doesn't love a new story?

Lessons

I am sitting outside by the fire drinking a beer, and talking to my daughter.She is 16 and wiser than I was at the same age. We don't hang out as much as we should but that if often the case in parent/child relationships
even though I may be biased, I think I can safely say she is very smart, and well adjusted.
her mother isn't much help, wanting to be her friend instead of her parent. I can see how it would be a hard line to walk but as a parent our kids depend on us to walk on the side of their best interest.
On the same subject...I spent the earlier part of my day with Beth,her son, his girlfriend and my daughter in San Francisco. We took a small boat whose captain I had met before.
My daughter was a bit afraid of the size of the boat and the coldness of the water, I gave her a smile and a pat while I assured her to trust me, she did.
While nervous as the boat chugged across the bay towards the ocean, she had a good time.
I am just glad I am there to teach her because these days will soon pass, and as hard as they are sometimes I will miss them.......

The REAL Robbie Thomas

I've told you before Robbie Thomas doesn't like me, that's ok he doesn't have to.
If I was Robbie I probably would not like me either.
I have listened to many of the interviews Robbie has done, I have checked out his web-page. I have had conversations with many people both in person, on the phone, and in emails who have dealt with Robbie.
Robbie is not all 'love and light' as he proclaims himself to be.
I started by asking Robbie about his incredible claims, I was not rude but I was skeptical. People who stick their noses into the business of those who have lost loved ones claiming to have some sort of 'special abilities' always make me worry.
The fact is psychic abilities have never been proven to be valid. Another fact is that people who claim to have such abilities have managed to make people who have lost loved ones more grief stricken when false hope has been given to them.
I would think even Robbie would have to admit he is not correct 100% of the time, that is if he was to have any 'psychic powers' (he most likely does not in my opinion)
So why would any reasonable, responsible person invite those who have lost loved ones to violent acts to a stage show so he can 'help them'? I think the answer to that is- A reasonable, responsible person would not.
I was recently invited to guest on a radio show. Robbie Thomas was in the chat. He called me an idiot and made several other comments that were uncalled for and childish in my opinion. Lucky for me I have thick skin and Robbie's opinion means less than nothing to me.....needless to say I was unharmed by big bad Robbie.
Since I was busy talking reasonably with the host of the show I didn't have the opportunity to answer Robbie. My co-host Polly was in the chat also. Robbie began to private message Polly. He was nothing less than a raving lunatic. His tirade continued even after I was done with the interview. It was at that time I began to answer Robbie's tantrum.
I asked him if he realized he was acting like a raving lunatic. He responded by saying "We will meet up someday Reaper" Not being one tolerate such veiled threats I informed him that would be fine with me.
He then advised me that he hoped my disabled son would never be in need of his 'talents'
Please don't get me wrong I know that what Robbie said does not pose any threat to my son but the comment struck me as nothing less than disgusting.
I am happy to argue with those who wish to do so. I am happy to let them say what they will about me no matter how childish or hateful, I can always answer back or in some cases ignore it. But I can not ever picture bringing the fight to such a level as Robbie did.
The thing that bothers me the most is how Robbie can claim to want to work to help children with his positive energy and compassion and make such a comment. It seems to me a indication of who the real Robbie Thomas is...In my opinion he is a childish, angry, low-class fraud.

Flower Power

Ok I am a big bad skeptic, that is a given....I listened to a show called 'The Buzz' tonite and was having a wonderful time in the chat while listening. Then the guest came on and started talking about somethin' called 'flower readings'. Flower readings are when you go out to your garden and pick a flower...somehow (don't ask me why) the flower you pick gains a 'connection' to your spirit and or future. this flower can then tell you what to expect from your life path.....i really do try to be open-minded cause none of use know why we are here or even if there is a reason but....GIVE ME A BREAK!!!
Please those who believe in 'flower readings' do not insult me with such incredible things...Thank You and once again I suggest those people who insist on believing such things... DO SOME SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH and be happy with the fact life is amazing enough without bringing some mystical crap into it....let's just be amazed by what is real and try to find some answers to that before we start looking into the imagined power flowers have over us... PLEASE!!!

Hell On Earth

Hell on Earth

Parker Brothers makes a toy called a Ouija Board. It has since the early 1900's. Many people believe it can bring evil spirits across the the world of the living. The origin of the board is not clear but it is thought by some to date back too 1100 B.C. China or around 500 B.C. Greek culture. Origin of the word Ouija is also unclear. One belief is the word comes from the French oui (for "yes") and the German ja (also for "yes")
"Ouija" is a registered trademark of Hasbro.
Toys "R" Us sells Ouija boards along with many other retail outlets.
Another object which I often refer to as a 'modern day' Ouija board is said to open 'doors to hell' much like the infamous Parker Brothers toy.
The 'Telephone to the Dead', 'Franks Box', or 'Shack Hack' is said to allow the dead to speak to the living by using white noise. The white noise generated by the random tuning is supposed to provide the dead enough sound 'material' to form answers posed by the listeners or to just talk to the living, depending on who you ask.
There is an excellent article posted on the box which can be found here- http://www.csicop.org/specialarticles/show/franks_box_the_broken_radio/

The Ouija board does the same thing. It allows us to consider what is scary and still be safe and sound while doing it.

To claim that a board with letters on it can somehow bring demons into the world and actually believe it,is nothing short of madness in my opinion. How can such people even function in the real natural world?

First demons have never been proven to actually exist. Second, hell is a man made concept. What I would suggest is that people who want to simply say the word "demon" to address behaviors or events they can not understand do some learning.

There are many people who claim to research demons, ghost activity, or communicating with spirits from beyond. Shouldn't that research begin with the study of real world science? It seems studying our brain and the way it can skew our perceptions of the way we see the world, would be the correct way to begin.

Looking into the way our culture has evolved to the point of believing in demons or hell would also seem to be another "common sense" approach to the subject.If you really want to learn about things that effect us here as we live our lives the why not start with actual facts instead of declaring anything that scares you or seems odd as "paranormal"?

Now to the box, or the modern day Ouija. Our brains want to make sense of randomness. We do not want to reside in a world we can not understand. I think this can also address the reason why so many people want to blame what they can not explain on supernatural or other worldly powers.

Many people claim to hear voices through the box, that can not be denied but if one were to do some real research then they would learn that our brains created order from randomness. The tendency of people who want to call themselves "researchers" to ignore well known scientific research is nothing more than stupid and pathetic, in my opinion. They should be both embarrassed, and ashamed.
