In all fairness, 2008, was my fault by coming here. Plain and simple. 2008 was nothing but anger that started from the fist day in that courtroom when some of the other examiners made it personal. Looking back at that, I think they were looking and poking me for a certain reaction, and I at a weak and fragile point in my life where I gave them the reaction they were looking for. Well, except the predictions that I would harm my self or others. I am sure there are people disappointed I didn't do that. Sick crappity smacks as they are. Then, with the help of some of the minions on PP just kept pushing the buttons that frankly I let them push.
I have no one to blame for that but myself. They all egged me on, they all pushed the buttons; but it's a two way street, I shouldn't have let them get to me.
The first time I came here, ok, that is on my tab. Doesn't matter that I didn't know about PP, I came here, I have to own it, it is what it is, it happened.
Coming here this time, that is on the industries tab. I was pushed here, I even warned people it would come to this. No one cared. So, my hands are clean on this one. I am just here to tell the truth, and at the end, drop the mic and leave, boom. I will let the consumer decide.
Problem is, the people involved here are entirely self absorbed, entitled, and they think they are bulletproof. Some of them think they can put out a crappy product, like Mr. 45% & Co. and still get 91% of the business. Not because they earned it, but because they feel entitled to it.
The argument that the PP sycophants made that I was inexperienced and therefore may not be as good at their golden boys and girl are now irrelevant. I get more pretest confessions from what Parole Officers have told me. I have a lower inconclusive rate than at leafs one of the big boy firms around here. Finally, everyone that walks out of my room can never say they weren't treated fairly; regardless of the result.
Barry Cushman was right when he said on PP that "not all polygraph examiners are created equal." Some of us are better and that scares the examiners who have been around for a while and haven't had to hunt for their food; so to speak. If you go by Richard Wood's numbers, I am 35 times more the polygraph examiner than anyone in his worthless office. Fact, boom
I would put my work up against anyone at Holden's office, and never look back. Frankly I wouldn't even lower myself. Based on the recent evidence out, the Holdens' have some integrity issues to work out. But come of that will get worked out in a Walker County Courtroom, and I can't wait to watch that show go down.
I also call bullshit in stats argument that I should have handled it there or within the industry rather than come here. Well, I tried that and saw it wouldn't have mattered. The polygraph industry hides dirty laundry under the bed rather than took it in the washer.
The real test of the Integrity of the polygraph industry is if organizations play into Maria and TAPE's efforts to ostracize or blacklist me for exposing the corrupt and dirty system in Texas and the lack of desire to fix it. Because we know that is what Maria and TAPE will do; they are nothing if not predictable.
Come on, look at the things you say above.
Just follow me here I have a point
Quote:But there's a hell of a lot of victimization that occurs in the polygraph field every day.
Here you are saying that everyone who takes a polygraph is a potential victim of a fraud. Or at least that is my take.
Quote:Meanwhile, polygraph's self-appointed intelligentsia --mainly the loyalist industry geeks, technocrats and statistical alchemists behind the public relations campaign promoting polygraph validity -- fortify their insular, make-believe world with claims that manage to escape vigorous scientific scrutiny, yet bamboozle a surprising number of people who outwardly appear smart enough to know better.
Here you are saying that polygraphs "best and brightest" are charlatans and snake oil sales men. You're calling them bean counters who cook the books to back up the ponzi scheme (lack of a better analogy at this time) that they sell as polygraph. lastly you are saying that they are perpetrating a fraud because their numbers are cooked to look better than what they might actually be.
That is what I take from those statements.
Now, assuming I'm correct; this is what you believe but have never really had a "smoking gun," so to speak. You have never had any real, clear and convincing evidence, beyond the your experience and what you have seen in the past. There has been nothing you can point to and say, "there, right there; there is the smoking gun. Here is the evidence, I have it in their own writing, they are busted."
Not once, to the best of my knowledge have they ever tried to kick you out of the APA or otherwise ostracize you. This makes sense, the things you say are of no threat to them because you have no smoking gun, so to speak. You may have a ball bat, but no gun. So there is no need to silence you. Anything you say, they feel they can shrug off.
I mean if Maria was truly concerned that the provable truth was damaging to the industry, how is speculation not damaging to the industry? Why has she never filed a complaint against you? Because you are not a threat to HER, the examiners "in her life" or TAPE. She doesn't care about the industry, she cares about herself and the money that flows to Clayton and Rick; her "buddies."
Think about it, the only difference between most of what you say (we do disagree on some points), and what I say is, when I say the numbers don't seem to be adding up, I have evidence that there is a problem. When I bring it up to the "powers" they shrug it off, then when I bring it public because something needs to be done, attempts are made to silence me or discredit me in the industry. Damn the hard core evidence obtained from the examiners themselves. "THE TRUTH ISN'T THE TRUTH. OUR TRUTH IS THE TRUTH"
When you say there are funky and suspect relationships (cronyism) in the industry, it is laughed off. Because you have no evidence of impropriety that they can't say, "naaaa, he is taking this or that out of context." But I come along and prove with court documents that there are more than "strange and symbiotic" relationships going on, oooooo no, Joe is having a "falling down" decompression. Look out he is going to sling an AR15 on his back and kill off his "Texas oppressors" The sky is falling, the sky is falling. LMAO, that is still funny to me; what a bunch of chicken littles. I wonder if they're disappointed that I am not the person they predicted? I mean, come on, you'd think that would be a safe question to answer guys.
I'm not trying to say that you don't make valid points; you do. What I am saying is no one ever comes after you because they were never stupid enough to hand you the smoking guns you needed to show you are right about a few things.
In Texas, they were stupid enough to leave a trail, arrogant enough to think it would never surface, and MORONIC enough to not leave me alone when I was quiet and didn't feel backed into a corner in regard to my future.
Again, if I had been just left alone in my office, my little one man operation would never had been a threat to them again. They had me beaten down to a state of capitulation.
I was willing and even eager to capitulate in October of last year, agreeing to all their terms and asking for nothing more than reciprocity.
Wait till I have all that ready to publish. The true colors of John Rios, St. John and TAPE will be clear then. They are people and an organization that cannot be trusted to keep their word. I base this on history and the documentation I will release at my discretion at the right time.
Anyway, like I said, the retaliation will begin anywhere between now and January or February of next year. If I shoed up to TAPE for state approver CEU's I would be stopped before I even got in the door, or while their I will either be threatened, attacked or someone would attempt to coax me into a fight like Maria Hubbard tried to do in Vegas, coward that she is.
