Good news for all Psychics from the JREF
For some time, we have heard from many a "psychic", a certain
radio show host, and a certain rabid "intuitive" from Toronto,
that the Randi Challange is a bogus deal. One of the main reasons cited
was that the money would never be paid - the pledges would not come
through, yadda, yadda.
Well, gentile challangers, ye need not wait any longer! The Randi
Organization has just purchased 10 $100,000 U.S. Treasury Bonds that will
be given to the Challange Winner IMMEDIATELY.
From the Randi Web Site:
"Over the years, several psychics have excused themselves from trying for
the prize with the objection that the cash has not been easily accessible.
To satisfy this objection, we've purchased ten $100,000 U.S. Treasury bonds
-- immediately negotiable instruments -- held in a special account for this
specific purpose. There now can be no impediment whatsoever to the
thousands of psychics worldwide making immediate application to take the
prize -- unless, of course, they don't have the powers they claim."
That brings the total IMMEDIATE payout to $1,010,000.00 (the bonds and
Randi's $10,000.00 check). For the other $200,000, that will come through
normal channels- from the James Randi Educational Foundation Prize Account,
held by Goldman Sachs, New York (a noted Randi-Cult front organization).
Now there is no excuse left. You cried and wailed- "Show ME The
Money!" Well- there is, folks.
So common Ed, Dan, McGowan, Riley-- and yes, even you, Earl! When are you
signing up? Do we hear about your acceptance of the Challange, or do we
now get to see what you "psychics" can find to whine about next.
I know what my prediction is...
