I am not grateful for his armchair “diagnoses,” only amused by them and by his laughable attempts to make himself look like a qualified professional.<br />2. I can believe “Dr.” C’s story of an abusive dad, and if "Dr." C weren't so arrogant and hateful I might have more compassion for him.<br />3. The police report is real, even though the complaints never resulted in any criminal charges, due to the complainants being intimidated by "Dr." C. There were considerably more than two alleged victims whose stories were recounted in that report. Of these, only one alleged victim later withdrew her complaint -- SEVEN YEARS LATER. I have it on good authority that Coldwell harassed, intimidated and even tried to bribe the complainants, and that the woman who did finally sign an affidavit withdrawing her complaint was bribed into doing so.<br />4. I do believe that "rape culture" exists in both blatant and subtle forms. Here is a Feb. 2016 blog post that covers this among other topics:<br />http://cosmicconnie.blogspot.com/2016/02/musings-on-rape-culture-xenophobia.html<br />Beyond that, we've already argued back and forth on your blog about false rape accusations. But I have never actually accused "Dr." C of being a rapist, and neither did Salty Droid, and neither has Longdog, and neither did the women on the 2007 police report. There are other forms of sexual abuse (and abuse of power) besides forcible rape.<br />5. As I recall, Coldwell’s “special forces” boast appeared on a couple of his German-language social media posts last year. Longdog may be able to clarify. In any case this boast was never a part of his earlier narratives and you think that he would be able to remember something that significant.<br />6. I'll let Ron argue about the martial arts stuff. I am pretty much indifferent to martial arts and don't claim to know anything about them. I do know that the martial arts champion story hasn't always figured into Lenny's narrative; it is a relatively recent addition.<br />7. Your attempt to bolster your own arguments by sharing a link to conspiracy nut and right-wing ranter Mike "The Health Ranger" Adams' site isn't going to win you any points here.<br />8. Your view of psychiatry is simplistic. While there is some validity to the argument that the pharmaceutical industry and medical professions (including psychiatry) have monetized human suffering, there are professionals within those industries who are motivated by something besides money. And if you think that “Dr.” C is motivated primarily by altruism and not by money, you really do have blinders on.<br />9. Many womanizers and exploiters of women are indeed misogynists, so your argument is invalid. Misogyny doesn't necessarily mean one is repelled by women and has no contact with them. It does however imply contempt and lack of respect for women, which Coldwell has demonstrated in many ways.<br /><br />Cosmic Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425191794680677900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344481247170286640.post-75981779523354590912017-01-11T09:58:58.093+00:002017-01-11T09:58:58.093+00:00"Even so, a couple of these folks said that t..."Even so, a couple of these folks said that they were getting "gay vibes" from Coldwell – not that they were attracted to him, but that he seemed a little… well, gay."<br /><br />In my original article on Rationalwiki, before it was edited by others, I described Coldwell as a "highly prolific and amusingly camp but intensely creepy internet quack" but 'camp' is one of those notoriously difficult words to define. Like good art, you know it when you see it.<br /><br />A proportion of gay people are very camp, I know quite a few, but on the other hand I once worked with a guy who was 100% straight and also as camp as a row of pink tents so it doesn't prove anything and it doesn't mean Coldwell is gay. He is, as you point out, however ANTI-gay whether or not he's a closet case.<br /><br />DidiFlo seems to be quite keen to excuse the many bigotries that make up Coldwell's unpleasant character with his talk of preserving culture (against brown people) and exposing the forces that REALLY rule the world (Jews) but misses the main point. If he genuinely were a clinical doctor he either wouldn't hold such bigoted views or, if he did, he would keep them to himself rather than spreading them all over Facebook. <br /><br />My excellent (and rather dishy) GP is of Pakistani descent so there's a reasonable chance he's a Muslim of some sort. Speaking in wild generalisations, and I emphasise it is wild generalisations, Islam is not the most tolerant religion when it comes to atheists, drinkers, homosexuality or bacon sandwiches but yet my doctor abides by the equality provisions of the NHS who employ him. If he has 'views' on my moderate consumption of alcohol, my lack of religion, my sexuality or my pig consumption he keeps them to himself.<br /><br />When it comes down to it Coldwell's use of the words 'gay', 'Negro', 'Jew' etc are clearly intended as insults even if they are technically correct and expose him for the prejudiced little fool he is. The idea that he is a great (or should that be THE GREATEST) humanitarian which seems to be the general thrust of FloDidi's pitiful blog is clearly unsustainable. Real humanitarians have an ability to empathise with humanity as a whole. Something Lenny is clearly incapable of doing.longdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01834133746355159276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344481247170286640.post-16854076317382245912017-01-10T23:53:04.034+00:002017-01-10T23:53:04.034+00:00FloDidi wrote:

Far from it. There are numerous exceptions, as determined by various cases over the decades. (And as you know, the First Amendment technically applies only to the United States; laws about free speech and its limits vary by country.)<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_free_speech_exceptions<br /><br />It's all seems to be rather complicated, which I suppose is why Constitutional lawyers are generally so expensive. Longdog nailed it when he noted that Lenny (and you) seem to have quite the double standard when it comes to free speech: it’s okay for Coldwell to say what he wishes about any and everyone, no matter how egregiously false, but people who criticize Coldwell should be silenced in any way possible.<br /><br />I have never believed nor said nor written that all homophobes are gay -- or latently gay – themselves. That idea started with Freud, I believe, but more recent research indicates that while homophobia may be a symptom of latent homosexuality is some people, it may not be all that common. Even so, most people who are strenuously anti-gay seem to have a very unhealthy obsession with other people's sex lives.<br /><br />In your comment you seem to be calling Coldwell’s homophobia (and general anti-LGBT mindset) into question. To begin with, he has made it very clear in his public writings that he is disgusted by trans people. Trans isn't the same as gay, of course, but I thought I'd mention that in passing because I've seen his anti-trans posts with my own eyes. Regarding his homophobia, there’s evidence about that as well in some of his public posts, e.g., posts in which he slammed Obama by calling him a gay Muslim Negro and whatnot, and within that context it was quite clear that he is bigoted against gays, Muslims and black people. <br /><br />As well, I have communicated with folks who attended Coldwell's "Champion" seminars (before and after GIN), and these people told me that Coldwell fairly frequently expressed disgust for homosexuality and made jokes and snarky remarks about gay people. Even so, a couple of these folks said that they were getting "gay vibes" from Coldwell – not that they were attracted to him, but that he seemed a little… well, gay. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, of course, And of course it is hearsay, but I heard it from more than one person -- real people, not made-up anonymous sources.<br /><br />In any event my casual attempt to annoy Coldwell with implications that he is gay may not be "classy" in your book, but it is such a minor aspect of my writings about Coldwell that it doesn’t really even count in the large scheme of things. You’re free to make as big a deal out of it as you want, though. And my calling out Coldwell for being racist, xenophobic and anti-Semitic is not a “leftist tactic.” I’m just calling it as I see it – and as he writes and speaks it. Nevertheless I think that for the most part he has a right to free speech, which in his case means the right to repeatedly make a fool of himself in public. He does not, however, have the right to incite his fans to commit violence against me.<br />Cosmic Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425191794680677900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344481247170286640.post-58781005069717009052017-01-10T11:18:13.443+00:002017-01-10T11:18:13.443+00:00In reply to Didier's comments above...
"...In reply to Didier's comments above...<br /><br />"He might have added his internship years towards the years in general practice, or he might have been an army doctor in the military."<br /><br />Neither internship not being a military doctor (which would require a completed internship in any event) count as general practice. Yet again you are picking a 'possible' explanation out of thin air which isn't actually possible in the first place. Coldwell tells different stories to different audiences. In one of his many versions of his life story to his English speaking audience he claims that he practised medicine in Germany but not in the US. In his story to his German speaking audience he practised medicine in the US but doesn't have the title of 'doctor' in Germany... They can't both be true.<br /><br /><br />"That's because the First Amendment has been infringed upon. Free speech should have no limits, otherwise it can't be called free speech anymore."<br /><br />Hang on... you were claiming that Lenny was going to use his (entirely imaginary) close friendship with Donald Trump to get his critics silenced. How does that square with "Free speech should have no limits"<br /><br /><br /><br />" Dr. C himself has stated he had no evidence for you killing his dog, he only assumed this because he was given anonymous information."<br /><br />Lenny has been playing that card for years as an excuse when he gets caught out or when he wants to tell a tall story. That and 'I was hacked', 'I didn't post that Facebook did' and 'I didn't post that Sarah / Amy / Jens / Cathy did'.<br /><br /><br />longdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01834133746355159276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344481247170286640.post-84459041764569349162017-01-10T10:46:05.147+00:002017-01-10T10:46:05.147+00:00No...

Everyone pisses on this man online and no one is brave enough to speak up for him.<br /><br />"Ten years medic school to become a GP plus his supposed 16 years in general practice already takes us "<br />He might have added his internship years towards the years in general practice, or he might have been an army doctor in the military. In most of Europe it only takes 6 years to get a Master of Medicine and after that you can choose to specialize yourself during an internship.<br /><br />I meant the French term "Déformation professionnelle", as coined by the Belgian sociologist Daniel Warnotte. It's a tendency to look at things from the point of view of one's own profession rather than from a broader perspective.<br /><br />Another leftist tactic, how classy Connie. "Homophobe are gay themselves" is only true in a small amount of cases. Leftist like to use terms like that to invalidate the person they're debating with so they have to spent all their time and energy to defend themselves against these accusations.<br /><br />Let me quote my favorite Jew Ben Shapiro for you:<br /><br />"When someone calls you a racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe because you happen to disagree with them about tax policy or same-sex marriage or abortion, that’s bullying. When someone slanders you because you happen to disagree with them about global warming or the government shutdown, that’s bullying. When someone labels you a bad human being because they disagree with you, they are bullying you. They are attacking your character without justification. That’s nasty. In fact, it makes them nasty.”<br />― Ben Shapiro, How to Debate Leftists and Destroy Them: 11 Rules for Winning the Argument<br /><br />That's because the First Amendment has been infringed upon. Free speech should have no limits, otherwise it can't be called free speech anymore.<br /><br />You started this all Connie, it's you who should stand trial at a court of Justice. Dr. C hasn't written anything about you for ages, I believe he hasn't mentioned you since Blue's death. Yet you still go out looking for conflict by following his Facebook pages and websites only to make fun of everything that he does.<br /><br />For someone who has boldly claimed that it would end badly for a crazy fan that decided to pay you a visit, you seem to have been quite afraid that you felt the need to alert the authorities. Dr. C himself has stated he had no evidence for you killing his dog, he only assumed this because he was given anonymous information.<br /><br />As for you complaints about his accusations of you being a drug-addicted, AIDS-infected prostitute; that's quite called for after you calling him a quack, an idiot, a sociopath, a schizophrenic and a psychopath.

If the psychiatrist of your acquaintance would be right about Dr. C you should at least have a bit more empathy towards him. He had a troubled childhood and was forced to become an adult at a young age who had to care for his own mother. On top of that he was abused by his biological father. So far I see no compassion from the side of you and your husband.<br /><br />Real police report? You're probably a radical feminist who believes in rape culture, that "victim" revoked her complaint. Over half the rape complaints are false <br /><br />"When the US Air Force's Office of Special Investigations headed by Dr. Charles McDowell investigated rape cases of Airforce personnel on Air force bases throughout the world and found that 27% were false by admission from the accuser, usually after they were asked to take a polygraph test. Subsequently he developed a 35 criteria listing traits common among those had confessed to making up false claims, used to distinguish false accusations from genuine cases. Three independent judges later reviewed the remaining cases using the criterion. Only when they unanimously agreed did they determine a false claim. At the end of the day, the false rape allegation rate was 65%" <br />Similar studies came to similar results. So no I do not believe for one second Dr. C is a rapist.<br /><br />I learned about Dr. C's claimed special forces service only from this blog, I have no idea where he mentioned it. But like I stated the Bundeswehr had conscription for it's male citizens back then so it's not impossible he got assigned to a branch that's considered "special forces". It doesn't take much time to travel the world these days, you can be almost anywhere in 48 hours. The courses he attended could have been short seminars.<br /><br />Regarding Aikido, it's just a soft version of Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu. Ueshiba got some spiritual revelation about the universe so he decided to make Aikido about love and harmony. Even he showed you his black belt you'll still want to believe he bought it at some McDojo.<br /><br />Conspiracy theorist have been proven to be the most sane of all Source: http://www.naturalnews.com/047168_conspiracy_theorists_sanity_propaganda.html <br />Psychiatry has alway been about MONETISING human suffering. Take away the paycheck from all those wonderful doctors and nurses and let's see how much they still care about "helping" you. If the truth were to come out about what really happens behind closed doors in these instutions these people would be out of an income, that's why they attack truth speakers.<br />Do you even know what the word misogyny means? "Misogyny is hatred of, contempt for, or prejudice against women or girls" If Dr. C is the womanizer you claim he is, he must obviously love women.Didier Matissehttp://www.cancerwonders.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344481247170286640.post-77179442470714631462017-01-09T09:57:39.772+00:002017-01-09T09:57:39.772+00:00"The CIA has officially declassified they hav..."The CIA has officially declassified they have a secret heart attack gun"<br /><br />Where did you get this gem of knowledge from?

As you may be aware, Herr Drumpf's trophy wife and the US's soon-to-be First Lady filed a $150 million defamation suit against The (UK) Daily Fail online and an American blogger, merely for publishing a hearsay report suggesting that Melania had once been a paid escort. The Fail apologized and retracted but the suit has gone forward. And it was filed here in the US, where accusations of prostitution (as well as accusations of AIDS and other STDs) can fall under the category of defamation per se.<br /><br />As I previously noted, numerous people suggested to me that I should file suit against Coldwell for the clearly defamatory things he publicly and repeatedly wrote about me. But as I've also said, I never had the money or the inclination to pursue litigation, particularly since nobody who is even marginally important in my life believed any of the crap he wrote about me. I just let him lie and lie and lie for years, because his lies just made HIM look stupid.<br /><br />The publication of my address and the incitement to violence was an entirely different story, however. This went beyond childish name-calling so as I've also said, I did report it to the proper authorities. It would have been up to them to press criminal charges had they deemed such charges appropriate, but they did not (they claimed there was "not enough evidence").<br /><br />But regardless of results, or lack thereof, what remains are Coldwell's words and actions over the years, and his clear intent to goad someone into doing me harm. Even if he had not posted my home address while encouraging people to take action against me, the very fact that he accused me, with absolutely no evidence whatsoever, of killing his dog speaks volumes about his character. Or lack thereof. Same goes with his accusations that I am a drug-addicted, AIDS-infected prostitute -- all lies. It all shows that he is about as far from the positive-thinking humanitarian hero of his phony narrative as a person can possibly be.Cosmic Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425191794680677900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344481247170286640.post-17790708208339970012017-01-08T19:42:43.102+00:002017-01-08T19:42:43.102+00:00FloDidi: In my comment above I wrote "More im...FloDidi: In my comment above I wrote "More importantly, if you think that the only things Coldwell gets laughed at are his German accent and his height, you truly have not been paying attention. I personally have never laughed at his accent or even his spoken English (apart from the content itself)..."<br />###<br /><br />I did not say that I never made fun of his height. What I did say was that he has been made fun of for many things besides his height and accent. Apparently he is self-conscious about his height, and even indicated as much to some of his former friends, but actually my calling him "Little Lenny" refers as much to his smallness -- in the sense of pettiness -- as it does to his physical height.<br /><br />I am not sure exactly what you mean by "professional deformation as a ghostwriter and editer [sic]." I was annoyed by bad writing long before I ever considered writing or editing as a profession. I don't normally go through casual online conversations with a red marker; everyone makes typos, including me. I do however criticize Lenny for his writing because if he is the highly educated professional he claims to be, he should be held to a higher standard than the average casual participant in online discussions.<br /><br />OMT, I wasn't actually trying to gay-shame, as I have no objection to people being gay, bi, trans, asexual or whatever. I was trying to poke at Lenny, because he is reportedly such a vicious homophobe... for reasons he has never adequately explained.

Your description makes that statement glaringly obvious. Look a bit deeper into classical Aikido. The foundation of Aikido is to use an opponent's strength and attacks against him, but there are numerous moves and blows that are as potentially physically damaging as anything in other schools of martial arts. There are numerous variations of shomenuchi iriminage, dim mak, and the vibrating palm from which you can begin your research. If you have more interest in facts than you have displayed thus far. Just from the immaturity with which coldwell responds to mere questions - never mind critics - I'd wager that his "expertise" in martial arts is likely limited to his having viewed a Jackie Chan movie or two. He certainly hasn't embraced the level of integrity that is an integral part of all schools not run by hucksters. <br /><br />As to coldwell's dismissive comments (and your own parroting of his comments) regarding psychiatry, I'd suggest that neither of you have anything other than paranoid conspiracy theories upon which to base your assessments. Psychiatry is neither a perfect science nor a sham, and it has served to better the lives of millions of people, despite the occasional instances of misuse. I'd venture a guess that coldwell's hatred of psychiatry has likely been formed in response to his having been diagnosed at some point in his life with a pathology that he found distasteful, much as his misogyny is most probably based in the frequent rejections of his would-be conquests, a few of whom have described their very unpleasant experiences with him. Given his publicly expressed fantasies wherein Connie is the focus of his attention, I can only imagine what a woman who encounters him face to face must endure.

I only discovered Dr. C through reading "Natural Cures "They" Don't Want You To Know About" and was a fan of them both until GIN got exposed from the inside out. I actually sent KT a letter when he was in prison but when I discovered he lied about the GIN council and how he treated his own friend Dr. C I was totally done with the guy.<br />I made my own father read "The only answer to cancer" but he couldn't finish it because there were too many advertisments for Dr. C and his sponsors' products. Although it didn't bother me you might have a point there.<br /><br />IBMS is indeed a MLM and I think it's a terrible business model. You only make your own money back by suckering other people in.

Surely Big Pharma and the dastardly NWO operatives could have hit their target by now, with all of those so-called efforts."<br />Just do a google search for "doctors killed by big pharma" and you'll find a lot of MD's who have passed away under suspicious circumstances. The CIA has officially declassified they have a secret heart attack gun and it's easy to make a murder look like a suicide. Dr. C might have been lucky or taking good preventive measures.<br /><br />"post one’s address (and private cell phone number) on the Web IN THE CONTEXT of inciting said accuser’s fans to take retaliatory action. "<br />Dr. C is free to make that statement under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. If some fan attacked you based on that information then that's the responsability of the fan himself to have acted out on it.<br /><br />As for his publisher being in the bed with Dr. C, there's no proof for that. You being active in the ghostwriting and editing should know better as me the PR drama that would unfold for that publisher if it were exposed that Dr. C didn't possess those degrees.<br /><br />As for his height I was mistaken, I looked up the forcible fondling report and it lists "508" in the height box. I can only assume they meant 5ft8. Bernie wrote on his blog referring to Dr. C: "Kinda hard when you’re only 5’6″ and going to shrink with age until you’re pygmy sized." Nice attempt at gay shaming, but I'm straight as a ruler :)<br />You've referred to Dr. C as "Little Lenny" on your own blog, so you DO make fun of his height.<br />As for him being semi-literate, that's probably a result of your professional deformation as a ghostwriter and editer. His posts are understandable to me despite English not being his first language. I can't speak out for his German posts since I struggled a lot with that with language myself when I studied it as a chosen course in school and college. <br />Didier Matissehttp://www.cancerwonders.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344481247170286640.post-50392078726545362062017-01-08T17:25:21.353+00:002017-01-08T17:25:21.353+00:00"As for Dr. C's service in the special fo..."As for Dr. C's service in the special forces, probably before his 16 years in general practice.

Even Coldwell (in most of his autobiographical sketches) never mentioned a stint in the military. In fact, the way he tells it most often, he became involved in "doctoring" and "healing" as a child -- either a child of 5, 10 or 12, or maybe 14, depending upon the story -- in an effort of course to help heal Mommy "Coldwell's" famous illnesses. From there, according to his most commonly spewed narratives, his life was devoted to gaining "medical" expertise in any way he could. He attended legitimate medical schools as he could, and traveled all around the world to learn healing secrets from indigenous folks of various types. And at every step of the way he was oppressed, repressed, and hounded by the medical establishment and Big Pharma because they were so jealous of his incredible successes.<br /><br />It seems to me that the martial arts expertise claims arose more recently than the original brave-maverick-doctor narrative, and the "special forces" claim was much more recent still. I look forward to seeing what he'll add to his autobiography next. Maybe he was an astronaut or Olympic swimming champ? There are all sorts of things he can invent, and his more idiotic fans will never question it.

As you know I have never written that I have "narcissistic personality disorder." The "insufferable narcissist" bit is a shtick for my blog profile (originally Whirled Musings began as a humor blog), and I've facetiously invoked the "narcissist" description a few times. <br /><br />In truth I am no more narcissistic -- or selfish would be a better word -- than many folks in our "culture of narcissism," as it was described by Christopher Lasch in a 1970s-era book. Speaking non-clinically, we all have a bit of the narcissist in us, a trait to which self-help scammers, religious leaders and politicians often try to appeal.<br /><br />Both Ron and I -- and I assume Longdog as well -- are aware of the many criticisms about psychiatry, some of which are legitimate. Yet here again we have the credential quandary: "Dr." C is also very critical of psychiatry, and yet he claims to be trained and have expertise in psychiatry and psychology. That's how he deemed himself qualified to "diagnose" me -- and numerous other critics -- with various mental illnesses, complexes and syndromes, all of which have been described at one time or another in the DSM.<br /><br />A real psychiatrist of my acquaintance, while not claiming to be making any official diagnosis since he's never met Coldwell, once told me that Coldwell's writing and public behavior indicate a narcissist and psychopath with "inadequate personality disorder." Again, he didn't claim that this was an official diagnosis; it was just an overwhelming impression, based upon his decades of experience in the field.<br /><br />And yes, I am a grown woman but will always welcome Ron's support, and would absolutely welcome it if I were in physical danger.<br /><br />As for Coldwell being in the special forces, I think you made a typo, FloDidi. I believe you meant "special farces."<br /><br />Finally, nice try with the “smoke and fire” metaphor regarding Coldwell’s sick sexual fantasies about me. It’s another way of trying to turn that very real police report about Coldwell against his “enemies.” That, IMO, was a real smoke-and-fire situation. As I’ve said numerous times, if I had been as persistent in harassing Coldwell (and his family and coworkers) as he boasted on numerous occasions, there would be some sort of proof – emails, recorded phone calls or other evidence. There is no evidence because it never happened.<br />Cosmic Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425191794680677900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344481247170286640.post-59511028762298096672017-01-08T16:53:33.614+00:002017-01-08T16:53:33.614+00:00As for Dr. C's service in the special forces, ...As for Dr. C's service in the special forces, probably before his 16 years in general practice.

These bodies are made up of people and people inevitably have their failings.<br /><br />2. He might have exaggerated a bit here and there and he might have a big ego. But in sports it's crucial to have a big ego to be at the top. "Sports psychologist Bill Beswick, who has worked for Manchester United and England, adds: "Ego is very powerful and can be the driving force behind performance. Ex-Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane had intense self-belief. He maximised his ego to make the absolute best of himself."<br /><br />3. Depends on the definition of "worthless", every degree is basically a worthless piece of paper. Especially all social and art science degrees are worthless. That's why all those majors in "Women's Studies" or "Art history" can't find a job.<br /><br />4. They might be published under a pseudonym.

He's 5ft7, that makes him taller as you and for his accent he at least tried to learn English when he came to America, unlike many Mexicans.”<br />###<br /><br />I must say that you seem to have a fairly intimate knowledge of Lenny’s measurements. Please do not share any more of them if you know them. (I am 5 foot 8, by the way.) More importantly, if you think that the only things Coldwell gets laughed at are his German accent and his height, you truly have not been paying attention. I personally have never laughed at his accent or even his spoken English (apart from the content itself). I have, on the other hand, laughed at his ludicrously semi-literate English writing style, which, my German-speaking friends tell me, is just as semi-literate in his native language. No wonder he needs a ghostwriter. <br /><br />Also, many Germans are reasonably fluent in English whether they move to America or not. Many Americans could take a lesson from multi-lingual Europeans and not be so afraid to learn Spanish or other languages themselves.<br />Cosmic Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425191794680677900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344481247170286640.post-57482474588453746992017-01-08T16:40:26.704+00:002017-01-08T16:40:26.704+00:00Now to address some additional points that FloDidi...Now to address some additional points that FloDidi (sounds like a rap singer, doesn't it?) made in the above comment.<br /><br />"Dr. C started another organisation in response which has none of the scamming of GIN called the Instinct Based Medicine System. By becoming a coach you can gain a residual income and work from home."<br />###<br /><br />IBMS, which actually predates the IBMS Masters Society, is nothing but the latest incarnation of Coldwell's decades-long shtick, which was once known as NAPS and is an amalgamation of various selfish-help/pop-psychology/New-Age ideas, presented -- in Coldwell's trademark ham-handed, megalomaniacal manner – as something that’s not only unique (it isn’t) but is also the only answer to… everything. <br /><br />Selling certifications for dubious "expertise" is a well-known Scamworld business model. Coldwell isn't the first to do that and won't be the last. I've communicated with people who spent thousands of their hard-earned dollars to become IBMS "coaches" and they had numerous complaints, among them that the material was redundant and could have been covered in one short session; that Coldwell's promises of a lucrative career and all-but-guaranteed income stream were just so much hot air (his own disclaimers display just how bogus those promises are); and that Coldwell was abusive to some of his "students."<br /><br />"Don't be silly Connie, your address can be found with a simple Google search. The fact you're still alive now proves you exaggerated those threats. You always play the victim and never take responsability [sic] for your own actions, pretty narcissistic..."<br />###<br /><br />One might just as easily say that the fact that Coldwell is still alive proves that he has been exaggerating the threats against him for years. Surely Big Pharma and the dastardly NWO operatives could have hit their target by now, with all of those so-called efforts.<br /><br />And let me try to explain something one more time to you. I’ll try to type slowly so you can understand. Having one’s address discoverable by Google search is not at all the same thing as being falsely accused of a violent crime AND having one’s accuser deliberately and repeatedly post one’s address (and private cell phone number) on the Web IN THE CONTEXT of inciting said accuser’s fans to take retaliatory action. I am not “playing the victim,” but simply expressing that there have been times I feared for my safety. I have exaggerated nothing, and I do take responsibility for my writing.<br /><br />“As for his degrees, I found new evidence for them. When you go the second page of ‘Instinct Based Medicine’ you can read ‘Major Degrees: NMD, ND, Ph.D CNHP - Retired not practicing in the USA’<br />So there you have all his degrees. They were highly probably checked by his publisher and eventual ghostwriters.”<br />###<br /><br />You presume far too much as usual, FloDida. Coldwell’s vanity publisher is also a friend and ally of his but assumes no responsibility for the content in the book. And the ghostwriter he has used most frequently is also a friend and colleague who has a financial stake beyond ghostwriting fees. It’s much more logical to assume that both publisher and ghostwriter did little if any vetting of the content for veracity. The books are also poorly written and edited, but that’s another topic.<br />Cosmic Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425191794680677900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344481247170286640.post-83298300390194383442017-01-08T16:33:48.768+00:002017-01-08T16:33:48.768+00:00I was just parodying Connie herself.

Anyone with an intelligent mind and wisdom can see it. The APA is a private organisation and they just make up diseases in the DSM-V to sell their drugs. Drugs that work similar to cocaine and amphetamine once metabolized in the body by activating the parasympathetic nervous system. So no I don't believe Dr. C deserves a made-up label.<br /><br />I'll admit I'm no expert on Aikido, though it's surprising they have no attacks, no sparring, no competition, no ground work and it's not used in Mixed Martial Arts. It might work against a drunk person but I'd like to see an Aikidoka grab the punches of a trained boxer and do their pinning movements.<br /><br /><br />Didier Matissehttp://www.cancerwonders.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344481247170286640.post-86188947505359093332017-01-08T16:04:43.830+00:002017-01-08T16:04:43.830+00:00Before I go further I need to clarify point No. 2 ...Before I go further I need to clarify point No. 2 above, regarding use of GIN events to promote one's own products, services and events. Certainly GIN speakers were allowed to promote themselves within the constraints of the agreements they had with GIN, but Coldwell reportedly abused that privilege.

When KT kicked out Dr. C they started going downhill, look at the state of GIN now, they can't even fill their chairs lol."<br />###<br /><br />Well, Coldwell can't really fill chairs either, particularly once the novelty wears off. IBMS Masters Society started out as a US-based "secret society" and "success club" and those gatherings were always much, much smaller than any of the GIN gatherings in GIN's heyday. Now IBMS is all but dead in the US, and I imagine the novelty will soon wear off in Germany as well, because (most) Germans aren't stupid.<br /><br />No doubt many people joined GIN as a result of Coldwell's recruiting efforts. And he recruited aggressively because he had a downline and made money off of every recruit in the GIN MLM. But many, many other folks joined primarily because of Kevin Trudeau and only discovered Lenny as a result of their GIN membership.<br /><br />By 2012 GIN was on a downhill trajectory anyway because Kevin Trudeau's civil-turned-criminal lawsuit was finally catching up to him. I have it on very good authority (from folks who were GIN principals at the time and worked very closely with Trudeau) that Coldwell was fired primarily because GIN was trying to cut costs, and Coldwell was reportedly one of the top candidates for the cuts because he was a highly paid GIN speaker. To save money Trudeau wanted to pare down the sanctioned speaker list and have fewer live events. But there were several secondary reasons as well: <br />1. Trudeau (and others) complained that Coldwell's presentations were becoming tired and redundant. To maintain member interest Trudeau wanted new and fresh content and Coldwell was not delivering.<br />2. There was also the type of ego problem that's fairly common in Scamworld, i.e., Kevin was a little miffed that Coldwell was grabbing so much attention. After all, Kevin had elevated Coldwell to stardom and Coldwell was stealing some of his thunder. So... one scammer is jealous of another scammer. Yawn. <br />2. That said, these same former GINsiders indicated that Coldwell also repeatedly violated agreements he had made with GIN, regarding Coldwell's misuse of GIN events and materials to promote his own products and seminars. That alone would have been grounds for firing him, but the GINsiders told me that cost-cutting was the *primary* reason. <br />3. GIN leadership received numerous complaints, from various attendees at GIN events, about Coldwell's behavior both on stage and at GIN parties and other gatherings. The GINsiders said this was a factor but it didn't seem to be the primary factor because people had been complaining about Coldwell for some time and Trudeau did nothing about it. It was only when the legal and financial problems began to reach a crisis point -- and GIN membership began to decline *partly* as a result of ex-GIN members beginning to make noise -- that Trudeau decided to boot Coldwell out. This happened shortly after the 'Dream Weekend" in Las Vegas in April 2012. Peter Wink was booted out shortly before Coldwell was.<br /><br />I'll address other points in your comment in subsequent comments.<br /><br />Cosmic Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425191794680677900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344481247170286640.post-24073913128454363852017-01-08T15:00:39.746+00:002017-01-08T15:00:39.746+00:00Diedre, please have someone explain the concept of...Diedre, please have someone explain the concept of parody to you before trying to besmirch Connie. Your attempts thus far have only served to make you appear ignorant. Having been a certified neuropsychiatric technician who has performed hundreds of admissions interviews, I am pretty adept at spotting and categorizing psychiatric disorders, and had coldwell pegged years ago. He's such a textbook case that any first-year psych student would be able to accurately diagnose him almost immediately.<br /><br />I'd also suggest that you observe some sessions in a good dojo before belittling a martial art form about which you are obviously misinformed. I think you would find inter-discipline matches particularly enlightening. Or perhaps not. It might be more educational to watch coldwell physically engage an experienced aikidoka. Let us know how his Chuck Norris fantasy goes, and please post a video of the proceedings. Should be a real hoot.<br /><br />As to coldwell's ludicrous lie that Connie was sexually attracted to him, I can only say that the more the accusation is repeated, the more hilarious it becomes. Jealousy isn't one of my failings, and Connie has never demonstrated any interest in delusional, obese Nazis. But if you can provide any proof whatsoever to support the little worm's blathering, I'll be more than glad to look at it. Of course, I won't be holding my breath.RevRon's Rantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07786080982796903930noreply@blogger.com
