Brian Ladd - What a flake and a fake!

[DrS]

Sorry, but what has this to do with Brian Ladd?

I am confused. We seen to have two Brian Ladds's . One in the USA and the other in Essex. Which one is trying to sort out Madelaine ?

Yikes... he's at it again!

Brian T. Ladd (supposedly of West Virginia, USA) has managed to weasel his way into a new criminal investigation, this time concerning a 10 month old baby boy named Gabriel Johnson of Arizona, who went missing in TX just after Christmas.

(http://www.myfoxphoenix.com/generic/news/gjohnson)

Ladd (aka "Dreamdude") has once again interjected himself into the middle of a case in which he has no business whatsoever. He has ingratiated himself with various suspects, buddied up to the sick mama who is sitting in jail accused of causing her child to go missing and who is refusing to help reveal his whereabouts. He has made atrocious allegations far and wide about the baby's biological father, even claiming to be pursuing paternity testing for this child by himself, and causing enormous heartache for Gabriel's grieving father and his family in the process.

Another American forum carried this revealing expose' on the Dreamdude and his modus operandi: http://bit.ly/9M3lx3 Ladd is shameless and will seemingly stop at nothing to use the misfortune of missing childrens' families for his own profit.

If anyone out there has the information that will put him out of business and shut him down for good, it seems clear that doing so would surely be a humanitarian act, on behalf of Gabriel's family and all those who find themselves in similar tragedies made worse by charlatans like Brian Ladd!!!

Brian who?

I do not believe there is any such thing as a psychic,

I have never seen any evidence whatsoever proving the existence of abilities such as precognition, telepathy, talking to dead,dowsing, or any of the other wonderful para normal abilities claimed by diverse crackpots and charlatans.

You have psychic powers? Wonderful! Come to laboratory and show me under controlled conditions,or fuck off before I say something unkind.


Until that happy day,I will not argue the point with anyone,and continue to treat such people and their claims with the contemptuous incredulity they deserve. For me, they are in the same category as those confidence tricksters [clergy] who have convinced the gullible they are needed to intervene with the divine.


I DO have an opinion on the case in question.However, being based only on media reports, I can't claim my opinion is an informed one,so I'll keep it to myself.

If you read enough about these missing person cases you can almost always guess how it is going to play out. If a woman is missing then it's almost always the husband who did it, for example. There's an opening for any so-called psychic who wants to have amazingly accurate predictions some of the time. Often the psychics come up with ridiculously unlikely stories, which makes you realize that some really do believe in their own imaginary powers.

Maybe I'll set up a fake psychic website to do just that, play the numbers game. And of course delete any predictions I get wrong.

This was done by an ex-policeman in an unofficial way.

More research probably should have been done on what actually happened here.

And in the latest news, all the world's crime-fighting psychics have still collectively failed to find a missing child, despite their repeated bouts of self-confidence whenever they saw the chance of some free publicity, whether to promote a fraudulent business, or to stoke their delusions of skill and importance
