Death Ray Speaketh :: Episode 2

Author == SD 1 April 2010 61 Comments

Do you know what you need to do {assuming you’re still alive} to get into the “higher upper echelons of people on this planet?”

No? :: me neither!  Kinda doesn’t sound like a real fucking thing.  But if I humored the possibility that it was a real fucking thing … then I’d go out on a limb and say you should try to be born there.  Be born in a rich country :: to a rich family :: horah! … please accept my congratulations for making it into the “higher upper echelons” … you deserved it.

James Arthur Ray presents a less statistically based approach in his latest still birthed video turd …

– a purpose {like torture :: ego tripping :: or money at any cost}

– a vision  {like of yourself as a unstoppable god}

– a coach {like Carlo Ancelotti … Chelsea Sucks!}

– a practice {like lying :: and LGATing}

– a mentor {like Tony Robbins :: or Satan}

– a group {cause manipulating individuals is too hard to be profitable}

– a retreat {death optional}

… bullshit.

Episode 2 of Death Ray Speaketh :: once again a substantial improvement over the unoriginal original … and for a fair price.

    Interestingly, there doesn’t appear to be ANY contact information on James Ray’s web site, except for a p.r. contact. His organization now appears pretty defunct.

    Good one. Actually there’s a field under the original even funnier video on his web site (sorry salty, but I don’t see how you could have made that any more tragically comical than it already was), where you can enter your contact info to get him to send you his updates FREE!! to “Receive ongoing videos to help you create the life you deserve.”

    For example:

    email: Your@mouth.com

    First Name: Spews

    Last Name: Turds

    Just a suggestion. The more the merrier.

I’m assuming you are actually a grown adult, and that’s quite an assumption based on your tirade. Seriously, man, chill before you have a damn stroke.

    Those hats are from Dick’s Last Resort – a douchey low brow restaurant in San Diego’s gaslamp quarter… people dig it because the beers are big and the wait staff makes fun of you.

    Obviously these dick turds were easy fodder…

    I wonder if they were lunching there while Colleen was on her “spiritual adventure” (ie. hurling herself to her death just down the street at Horton Plaza)?

    @Hippo, Oh,surely,dear,is it not obvious how this creates wealth? Brown paper bags are the foundation of universal principles that take you to the upper eschelon mindset. If you were already at that level you would see the power in the drawings. Makes sense,doesn’t it? Do need a shift in your thinking? Perhaps a mentor or coach,aka James Ray,can help you get it.Start by reviewing the seven principles listed above. Then sign up for the ongoing videos. You owe it to yourself,Hippo.

    Extremely funny, Droid. I’m almost looking forward to the next one. That bizarre smile is the perfect ending to these vids. If my memory serves me rightly, he had just said “…and I’m looking forward to my day in court”, hesitated a moment to wonder if just how fake it sounded, then decided to attempt a smile, with that result.

They certainly do seem to have an obsession with one another and I think they like to go to each others events to find out what else they can steal not to mention the jealousy thing. They are compulsively obsessed with themselves.

    @Jean D,
    Yes, I’ve been doing that too. I think it must be someone from JRI because it is the comments that give facts about the victims, the deaths and injuries, the fact that he is charged with 3 counts of manslaughter that are mainly being flagged as spam.
    This is someone or more than one person who does not want those incontrovertible facts, which would give pause to any reasonable person, to influence the faithful followers.

    Its probably DeathRay himself, he hasn’t much else to do sitting in his mansion with his business on hold.

    @wondering why, the Christina in these interviews is actually Kristina Bivins,one of DeathRay’s biggest SanFran based supporters who’s made statements to the media applauding him.Both she and Hermia Nelson(Ray’s “girlfriend” mentioned in news reports who was in attendance at his bail hearings)were both severely damaged in death lodges,yet are currently enabling him and following on his funky fungus heels like obedient little bitches,uh,female dogs.

    Speaking of DeathRay groupies,you know I ain’t one to gossip,buuuut,a reliable Twitter source has told me several women have approached her with stories of how Ray is quite challenged in the intimacy department. No details were provided,but the source claims all agree: DeathRay has some very serious shortcomings.

    It appears to me that James Ray (and other people mentioned on this blog) get so greedy that they lose all sense of responsibility and care. When something so tragic goes wrong the first thing they think of is saving their own skin NOT helping others or rectifying the wrong that it appears they have done. It is tragic indeed when people get so greedy that they lose all sense of care of other human beings. The danger of letting James Ray continue in this sort of business to me (and that goes for the other people mentioned on this blog) is that if they have the ability to take things so far once then they can certainly do it again and that should never be allowed to happen.

    @Jean D,
    I can safely assure you, Jean D, that even stuff offered as ‘free’ from these types is part of a lure to get more customers spending more money down the road.
    There are quite a lot of sites where Ray has this free advertorial stuff on offer, most have blocked them for the moment although the pages are still up. You can be sure they will be immediately unblocked if Death Ray somehow beats this rap.
    In the equation of dead customers against continuing revenue, the money wins almost every time.

    Why are you avoiding responsibility for your crimes
    Why are you still soliciting money for events you cannot hold?
    Why aren’t you refunding advance payments made for those events?
    Where has all the money gone? What is the name of your off-shore bank?

    Jean D Reply:

    @fjk;lkfwe, Hey,dear,I’m proudly from Oklahoma,OKC,am educated & from generations of scholars and successful landowners.Do your research and you’ll see many famous people hail from the Sooner State. They are an integral part of American history and culture.That said…

    Death Ray is not “from” Oklahoma and is not a hillbilly,not even a country boy. Daddy Ray was/is a shyster,salesman who served as a preacher in a Pentecostal Church of God in Tulsa.I haven’t learned where they came from originally,but JAR was born in Honolulu. During the 60s and 70s,Tulsa was a place of tremendous wealth,opulence & culture,which probably made Jimmy feel “poor”.One man has been quoted as saying the Rays were middle-class by all outward appearances,and even had James had more than some of the other kids.

    Death Ray is clearly the product of religious abuse from his con-artist father,who most likely forced him to attend long,crazy church services where the congregants were tithing 10% of their income,and probably giving him more, due to successful cajoling and well-honed preaching techniques. Pentecostal churches have traditionally been a hotspot for scammers.My Grandma became Pentecostal,for some reason,and our mother was constantly telling her to stop sending money to those snake-oil peddling radio evangelists.

    One of these d-bags,A.A.Allen,hawked an “acne cure”which Grandma ordered for my cousin. When it arrived,I examined the little tin can it came in,replete with elephant and palm tree designs,and stared at the capsules inside,supposedly filled with “an oil from deep within the African jungle”. As an adult,I know these were nothing more than Vitamin A capsules,which Grandma paid over $10 for in 1970! Note:Vitamin A can cure skin problems, but is toxic in large doses.Real responsible marketing,Brother Allen.

    Many Pentecostals are wonderful people,as was my Grandma,but their practices can be over the top. Only one time I saw inside a “Holy Roller” service from a side door at the church.There were people stomping their feet,shouting,and getting “slain” in the Spirit. That’s when the preacher butts the palm of his hand against someone’s forehead and they fall back into someone’s arms,then lie contorting and writhing on the floor for a while. Some of these churches practice snake handling and feet washing,and some don’t allow females to cut their hair,wear makeup or pants,and require subservience to males. All Pentecostals believe in faith healing or “laying on hands”,though not all of them completely reject medical treatment.

    With the oil collapse of the early 80s,few deep pockets were left in Tulsa into which the Rays could continue sliding their slimy hands. Also,the Bible Belt is not the most ideal place for developing alternative spiritual followings,though Oklahoma has had its share of small-time faux gurus. What else was a junior college drop-out salesman named James Ray to do? The answer is obvious:disguise himself as a New Age,self-help leader and move to California in search of greener($)pastures,and,ultimately,creating his very own Steinbeckian tragedy.

    @Anthony Mahavick, thank for clearing this up. For a while I thought “here is another one, when will it all stop”.

    Has anyone heard of George Jenkins the shining knight of copywriting?

    Or Darryl Klepper of SEO Super Powers?
    Or Billy Cubbingham of affiliate marketing?
    Or Janice Pinkston the queen of Internet marketing?

    Funny…me neither…just made them up. That’s what it seems like to me whenever I hear all these names these Internet marketing and business people brag about whom they’ve written for or who they studied with who’s ass they wiped for credibility rights.

    It’s like “Hey buy from me because I made coffee for 3 years for Joe Schmuck who’s the absolute God of SEO copywriting and just made 9 million dollars in 9 seconds on 9/9/09″. Then you find out Joe Schmuck is a bipolar hillbilly living in a popup RV camper in the backwoods of Mississippi with less than $20 for the week left in his sock stash under his mattress.
