If you read her first post and webpage. She had already contacted IIG ( according to her) and on her page she has "experimented" with her "abilities" so she came here already fully engaged in the scam. This board is mainly for PR purposes.
PR for what? The thing with the IIG has been going since July 2007.
She did her "test" in Nov and didnt miss anything ( according to her)
Did she really do those tests or is she lying?
If she has the ability to lie with impunity, which she does with 95% of the stuff she tells us, why don't we ever hear what we want to hear? To me that's the key for me to pick delusion. Every single time she has the opportunity to lie with impunity, she instead says things that damage her credibility.
I dont accept that she never self tested before. ( assuming she really believed in her ability)
Why would she lie about it? Why even come here at all? Here website as it was when I first saw it was ripe for attracting woo. Everything since then has hurt her.
So, she willingly devises "tests" that give her the "proof" she wanted. She is throwing around the term "scientific" in hopes that it will give her credibility and wants to use it.
If she's a scam artist, shouldn't she be trying to give
us the "proof" that
we want?
She came in here hoping to bamboozle just like con men often let a few 'marks" win to give their scam legitimacy.
Right. Uri Geller was smart enough to say that his skills were unreliable and offered that as proof it was real. But he still left a truckload of bent spoons in his wake.
Where are Anita's bent spoons?
Also, if she was all about "legitimacy" and science, why not go to the psychology department and get them to help her. No, she goes to a "skeptic" group. ( she needs skeptic buy in)
To protect her fantasy. It may also be tied to her very real fear about not wanting to share the Nobel Prize. That first came up with Anita in a private chat with me. The whole thing about the Nobel was surreal.
This is a well thought out scheme complete with an agenda, plan,goal and marketing ploy attached
This scheme is 18 months old now. None of what she did was necessary. She hasn't once approached the woos of the world.
Just to be clear, you've read all 2,000+ plus posts in this thread plus the moderated thread and her other posts here about ghosts and talk shows? And you've read everything on her website as well as the IIG protocol document with the negotiations about the rules? And you're saying that
everything there fits into her pulling off a well-thought out scam?
Did you read the MDC thread with The Professor? He was a fraud, but his tactics were masterful. He garnered an incredible amount of publicity with those groups already predisposed to believe his shtick. Everything he did there was calculated to tantalize and provoke reactions that actually helped his cause. He as masterful at evading. When he couldn't evade, he would still try to find a way or just say what he
really meant to say.
On many of the points Anita should evade, she simply repeats herself with increasing levels of seemingly genuine frustration when should could have lied to avoid the confrontation in the first place.
In order for me to think "intentional fraud" I would have to believe that she is an incredible actress and a masterful schemer who plans in advance. She must be someone who only
pretends to make stupid mistake after stupid mistake
knowing that the toughest audience out there won't be fooled. She must be incredibly patient because she will always
deliberately choose
not to lie when it would benefit her in the short run because she knows in the long run that it will work to her benefit. And despite writing tens of thousands of words, nobody has seen any inkling of the profit making aspect other than an off-hand comment that someone might pay $5 for a sketch of her hand or want a baby in the womb sketched.
Throughout all this she keeps bringing up crazy ideas that have nothing to do with her medical diagnosing claims (finding Bigfoot, communicating with insects, detecting chemicals and bacteria, talking to ghosts, not really being a human but an incarnation of a dwarf star).
All the while attending college at age 26 and having just three friends on Facebook, none of whom attend her college.
That's too big of a stretch for me. In isolation I can see "fraud" in numerous places. But in far too many places I have to say, "what an odd choice for someone who is a fraud." In the grand scheme of things it would have to truly be a Grand Scheme of monumental proportions with little to show for it.
I will suggest again that you chat with her personally. She's open for it. I am genuinely interested to hear what you think when you've had a chance to interact with her.
