Quote:Joe, as a fellow Irishman and certified Masshole (we grew up about 30 miles apart), I find your patience to be both humbling yet perplexing.
Were I in your shoes, I would have long ago employed a decidedly more severe approach: scorched earth, no prisoners. (I'm speaking figuratively, of course.)
Needless to say, I would start with the chief clown.
As our esteemed former Massachusetts state governor, and past presidential candidate, Stanley M. Dukakis said, "A fish rots from the head first."
Perhaps my approach is uncivilized.
But then, I prefer "Smiddicks" to Guiness, and Irish Mist to Jameson.
Yes, it's uncivilized, but...
I have to be careful down here as approaches that are....... average.... in my old stomping ground, are not approaches that will work down here. People down here don't listen to reason down here when utilizing such methods. It just makes them dig in more like ticks.
You are also assuming I am dealing with men who are brave enough to look me in the eye; one on one, and on the level. Fact is, they wouldn't stand a chance sitting at a table with me and having a fair debate if they HAD to answer questions honestly. Not a one of my, how did people on pp put it, "Texas Tormentors," would ever have the guts to do it. Why?
That answer is simple. They rely on mob mentality and bullying to win a debate. They also will not engage in an environment where the system is not rigged to their benefit. Even when I say Rios and St. John in October of last year, they avoided certain direct questions like the black plague. Well never mind listen to how Rios lies and avoids questions in this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddYN2jbH0Ds&index=6&list=PLfdmQbJ2BVYROwsBSdkO9e... First he says he knows nothing about any of it
LIE
he was on the board of directors
Then he says he follows the bylaws to the letter
LIE
the bylaws were violated on multiple occasions by all involved including the Board of Directors, Executive Committee, and the Ethics Committee.
he said he would look into it
LIE
he already knew everything
he said that the only person who is afraid of taking a polygraph is someone who will lie to it
THIS WAS THE TRUTH
Funny how TAPE's president says that, but not a one of them is willing to step up to the test under fair conditions. Interestingly, I was willing to step up to my own test to exonerate myself from TAPE and TAPE's sycophant's accusations against me. I guess if we go by Rios' mentality of only a liar would avoid a test, one can easily presume, that they are lying and I am telling the truth. hmmmmmmm
They can act like they are above taking a polygraph. Fact is they are afraid of failing their own tests and ending their career.
They only way I can fight them, is to expose their lies and unethical behaviors.
oh another lie he tells, is that only TAPE MEMBERS and invitees can attend CEU classes.
This also was a LIE
MEETINGS
1. The seminars of this Association shall be held semi-annually at a place selected at each semi-annual seminar.
2. The place of the seminar shall be determined by a majority vote of all members present and voting. If more than two places are nominated, the place receiving the smallest number of voted on the first ballot shall be dropped from consideration and the balloting continued until one place, of two remaining, has received a majority of all votes cast and the place of the next seminar be determined thereby.
3. In order to attend a semi-annual or any meeting of the Association a member of any class membership shall be in good standing.
4. Elected officials of other polygraph organizations may be invited to attend the business meeting of the Association at the discretion and invitation of the President.
Non-Examiners or other Polygraph Examiners may attend a seminar for all activities excluding the business meeting of the Association. that is from their own bylaws. So that day, the President of TAPE broke his own bylaws, ON VIDEO. either that or he is incompetent and didn't know his own bylaws. There really is no third option here.
Moreover, TAPE broke their bylaws with me and my wife Karen's membership applications. The procedures were not followed according to the bylaws at all. Even though both Rios and their lawyers assured me the bylaws would be followed.
Fact is, these people wouldn't know what the truth was down here in Texas if it pitched a tent in their asses. Nothing any of them say can be trusted, and if I were a lawyer out there, I would demand every chart of theirs and question their very decision or action. With as many times as Mr. Rios has been taught lying in his official capacity as an organization president, who is to say he doesn't lie in his official capacity as a New Branfules police detective? It's a fair question.
Same with the rest of the liars I have exposed over the past year. If they will lie and cover this crap up, who is to say they won't lie about test results, or confessions, or scores?
If they will cover up racist, sexist and terroristic threats made by their members and leadership, who is to say they don't practice racism, and sexism still. Funny how Andy Sheppard said TAPE would apologize if they knew all that crap cam from their organization; 7 years later and I am still awaiting that apology. Funny how I didn't get it from Rios the two times I saw him last year. He knew, come on; and all I wanted was simple words.
Lastly, with two instances of having my safety and well being threatened by Officers of TAPE, who is to say TAPE will not use violence or threat of violence again to silence me?
Just saying, and it is well known that I have had my safety threatened by two TAPE Officers. One threatened me in 2008, and Maria Hubbard did so in public earlier this year in an unprovoked incident. In the legal world, I believe this would be called a pattern of behavior.
Anyway, you get the idea. Though these people should be questioned, they never have been until I showed up and was provoked into taking action. So they only thing they have left is threats of violence, or punishing me through a rigged system where the right thing takes a back seat to the politically expedient and lies are more revered than the truth.
While I still strongly believe in polygraph and the good I try to do everyday in it's use, I have little faith in our system
