The Long Island Medium: Is She Cold Reading or REALLY Talking to Spirit?
Does Theresa Caputo really talk to spirits?
Is she the genuine article… or is she simply doing cold reading tricks that gullible people believe, simply because they WANT to believe? What do REAL scientists say about psychics and mediums, and people who purport to communicate with spirits on the other side? Is it all new age nonsense, or is there real science that supports the idea that the afterlife is real, and that we all go there after THIS life is done?
The truth is, we get a lot of questions about famous psychic mediums like Theresa Caputo, John Edward, George Anderson, Kim Russo and others of similar stature.
Some interesting facts about Theresa Caputo:
Well before she was a household name, she built a reputation in NY doing live (and often, free) readings on the radio, for the well known grief organization called “The Forever Family Foundation”, a non profit dedicated to helping grieving families overcome loss.
And while she is certainly not always 100% accurate, well before the TV show, she had stumped skeptics, and scientists who would listen in… hoping to catch some sort of trickery, fraud or common cold reading technique.
The funny thing is, while listening to her years back, before she was a well known celebrity, I couldn’t help but be impressed and the incredible amount of super specific information that used to come through during her live readings with total strangers… making it very difficult to explain away as fraud, fakery or good guesses.
(and to be totally honest with you, quite often… FAR more evidential and interesting than the stuff that comes through on TV)
So what about the skeptics and cynics and those that debunk ALL psychic phenomena?
Honestly? They are wrong. (and I know… as I used to be one of them!)
The truth is, EACH psychic, clairvoyant or medium has to live on the basis of their own merits, and their own readings… the fact is, while skeptics like to argue they are all doing cold reading tricks, in just about EVERY case, those very same skeptics can’t do the very things that they claim are so EASY for the psychics to do.
In other words… you’ll see a famous skeptic claim that the medium is just doing “cold reading”… and that it’s super easy to do, and is just a guessing game.
Then –
When they’re actually asked to DUPLICATE or replicate the results that the mediums get, in front of the same audience, or for a similar scientific accuracy test… they fail to get anywhere NEAR the results that the mediums received (and these are objectively measured results from both believers and skeptics alike, and agreed upon before these tests are run).
For examples of this?
Check out Dr. Gary Schwartz’s work with mediums like John Edward, George Anderson and others at the University of Arizona. (which later became part of the HBO documentary on life after death… and the book, “The Afterlife Experiments”)
Or the Windbridge Institute’s work on the very same topics, right now in 2013.
Or the University of Virginia’s work on psychic mediums and the accuracy of what comes through during psychic sessions.
The truth is, there is an OVERWHELMING amount of evidence that supports the idea that psychic mediums are genuine. NOT all of them. And certainly some are superior to others. But to discount the idea that some psychics or mediums are getting accurate information from a source we don’t yet understand… be it from SPIRIT, or somewhere else, is downright deceptive! (because they ARE… and no matter how loud the skeptics and debunkers may be, the facts are the facts)
The only way YOU are going to know for sure?
Get a reading. Or, explore with an open mind. Embrace the magic… and bask in the mystery of it all.
I have no doubt that in reality the future will be vastly more surprising than anything I can imagine. Now my own suspicion is that the Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose. JB Haldane, Evolutionary Biologist. “When I’m Dead”

Global Realpolitik – A Cold Reality Awaits Trump
President-elect Donald Trump is at the cusp of assuming command of the greatest empire in human history, uncomfortable as that might sound for Americans whether it is the “Trump” or “empire” component – or both. Regardless, like a world champion team in sports the USA as # 1 will forever be a target by allies and enemies alike with respect to influence and envy in general.
The media often portrays that Trump has kindred political ‘friends’ such as Russia’s Putin, other ultra-conservative leaders, autocrats and those waiting in the wings specifically the upcoming national elections in France and Germany. The illusion is that it’s a clubby cabal of co-conspiratorial right-wingers whose personal and political commonalities are strongly intertwined.
The global realpolitik is that the world stage is, and always has been, a verifiable merciless and ruthless jungle with short, fragile alliances for the purpose of achieving self-serving, short-term objectives. The open dirty secret is that no one really wants a lasting and enduring agreement because then they’re politically “locked in” so they need an exit strategy which goes by the name “loopholes”. It’s the de rigueur face-saving diplomatic linguistic mechanism to legally disengage gracefully.
Maintaining power always supersedes maintaining peace and prosperity. Stability is boring and more importantly unprofitable which is why volatility is – for lack of a better word – good for business. If the level of volatility remains within manageable margins it is controllable to the extent that a leader can resolve the crisis and be considered a savior. The media sometimes is an accomplice by overstating a crisis which makes the recovery even more spectacular in favor of those in power.
Trump’s “bromance” with Putin will be short-lived because they are ultra strong-willed individuals with fragile egos, each still desperately seeking respect and approval. It matches the concept in the movie “The Matrix Reloaded” (2003) when Neo asked the Oracle, “What does the Merovingian want?” to which she responded, “Like all men with power. More power.”
Additionally the US and Russia are historically, politically and culturally vastly different entities and for this reason are incompatible for enduring medium or long-term agreements outside of Europe and Cuba.
And because of Trump’s unpredictable and contradictory personality, Putin will find dealing with him maddening and secretly wish that Hillary Clinton won the election. Though she’s despised, she would have been a level-headed professional and more predictable leader with whom he could have dealt more successfully.
Trump will learn the price of “leveling up” in a political arena which is alien to him where competing world interests threaten America’s core interests. We shall see to the extent whether ultra-conservative leaders with huge egos can be flexible enough not to provoke a crisis that no one can control.
