JREF is a sharpening stone for Spooks, some of who are in training for the purpose of executing their missions.

It's OK guys, I'm in training.

Quote:

The Spooks are not likely associated with JREF. Their mission normally is the discrediting of actual phenomenon that the mission has deemed as not palatable to the general public, who is normally undereducated, uninformed, and incapable of grasping new concepts. Particularly paranormal concepts.

Actual phenomenon? Ooooh, you mean the unicorns. Don't look at me, I've been trying to bring these cynics around for years on that one.

Quote:

Their modus operandi normally consists of pounding the claimant with unending demands to submit proof that can be torn apart over the internet. Except since virtually nothing can be proven over the internet, the claimant has just walked into a trap for which there is no escape, except to walk away.

Why oh why don't they ever walk away?

Quote:

The Spooks are well trained in the art of psy-ops. Psy-ops in this case is the manipulation of public minds so as to achieve a favorable result. A successful psy-ops operation is generally signified by the personal destruction of the claimant, through pack hunting predatorial techniques learned elsewhere but tuned to perfection on JREF.

That's right, I make goats faint suckaz!!

What is all this about?

A Winner?

I subscribe to this mailing list for magicians, and there was a post in today's list from Seth Raphael, saying that he has won the challenge by proving his computer was psychic in front of a large crowd in Boston MA. He also provides a link [2] but I can't see the video, so I cannot see how valid this is. StephenBuxton (talk) 15:52, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

1. "In front of a large crowd" doesn't much sound like the standard JREF Challenge protocol.

2. "Oh there's video... but ummm... I left it in my other internets."

3. This guy's a fruitcake.

Since we have been found out to be spooks, I guess the only comment I can make is:

I'd mock you, but to tell the truth, belief in psychic computers isn't all that much more bizarre than most of the crap Twoofers such as yourself already believe. Oh well.

I must strongly disagree with this post. I believe that the JREF and the people who post on this Forum are very much anti-spook. I think it would be fair to say that JREF is one of the anti-spookiest sites in the whole of Internetia. If anti-spookiness was an ideal, it would be one of the JREF's.

I don't say BOO, I say YAY!
