Hey Blackjack, it's all your fault.
See I agree with you. There, now I feel better.
By the way you were part of the UPA too weren't you? And that failed too.
Is there a pattern here?
As a player. There is a rumor that I was part of the UPA management and that is not true. This rumor surfaced about the same time that I spoke out against the IPT so I know where it probably started. Then again, Kevin received a lot of misinformation on many topics.

Were you part of the Mackey team?
I know that is not a serious question.

I did volunteer for the lynching party. lol No I was never part of the Mackey Admnistration.

Did you play on the Camel tour?
So did Efren, Francisco, Johnny, Earl, and many others. I played early on and jumped when the PCA formed.
jjinfla said:
Yes, you are right, it is all your fault.
Thanks for noticing. I believe that is exactly what MS wanted Kevin to believe.
jjinfla said:
I know you are. But... the PCA was formed by CJ Wiley and others that wanted to build something as an alternative to the Camel Tour. The only member of the PCA founders that is currently on the IPT (I may be wrong about this) is Earl. I believe that Earl was granted an exception because of his HOF status, or he'd be at home watching Versus and sharing a can of Pringles with CJ.

But I really do think the IPT was doomed for failure. You guys with all of your negativism just brought about the collapse a lot sooner than expected.?
I know Jake. I had nothing better to do than sit down at the bar contemplating how I have never done anything with my life, crying about how I can't rub 2 nickels together.

The negativity tossed from the other side far outweighs anything I may have written or said to anybody.
jjinfla said:
By the way, you wrote some positive thinking letters a while back that you posted for pool players. I wonder if you ever bothered to read and practice any of that crap that you wrote.
Once again, this is the pathetic, predictable, assinine IPT/NaturalCures response to a logical and common sense assessment of what they are trying to sell. Just because someone disputes the blatantly outrageous claim they are branded as negative.
The IPT exists in this "bubble". They draw people into this "bubble" the same way Dorothy was drawn to see the Wizard of Oz. Follow the yellow brick road. Anybody that exists outside of the IPT bubble is not to be trusted or listened to. We are negative - we are bad. Why does Kevin tell the players that at every players meeting? Because he wants to protect the players from the truth. Anyone that steers you away from the truth and common sense is not looking out for your best interests.

You are just another person who says do what I say, not what I do. A positive person you are not.
No... a gullable person I am not.

John Schmidt thinks Kevin did a lot for him. I will venture to bet that I can find a lot of the IPT players who feel the same way.
I've sat down with John and talked about money and pool at great length. Have you? John is very supportive of this tour and Kevin and I respect his reasons for that. Ask John if I have ever personally contacted him and tried to sway his opinion of Kevin Trudeau. It's never happened. In fact I supported Danny Harriman 1000% during his quest to qualify and progress in the Reno event. I spoke with Danny every day and encouraged him to play well and enjoy himself - Danny did that and finsihed in the final 18 -despite the fact that some tried to concentrate on the fact he crawled on the table. I wonder why Danny got singled out for doing that? These are very positive people, Jake. FWIW, I see several players (including John - still having the need for additional sponsorship). Nothing has drastically changed except for a handful of players.

But then I knew a drug dealer in Chicago who everybody loved. He passed out a lot of money. When he was shot he was buried in his Cadillac. He was a really popular guy. His father carried on the business and met the same fate a year later.
Jake
Not sure what this is suposed to mean. Am I supposed to be scared by this or is this directed at the players? Who are you comparing to drug dealer, me or Kevin? lol. When are they sending out the mob to do me in?
Nobody is competing with Kevin. I really don't care whether he succeeds or does not succeed. I'm not sitting at home waiting for his check to pay my bills either. I don't need Kevin to survive in the world. I never will. I will never let him believe that I need him to be succesful at anything. That's when he has you. Think about that.
Over the past few months I have paid very little attention to him or the IPT. As far as I am concerned he can run the IPT successfully from now until Kingdom come and I could care less. I can guarantee you that he will make reference to me and others for starting all of this "negative smear campaign" about the check issue. The truth is, I have been relatively quiet about this and I have maintained all along that I believe that
eventually the players will be paid.
So go on and pay your $5.95. Tune in to listen and believe everything he says about me and others at the next Amway... er... um... players meeting. I'm sure he'll blame somebody else for this mess because he takes absolutely no responsibility for his own actions. Blame it on everybody that's not worthy to be in the bubble. Remember - that bubble is protecting you and all of the players from people like me, Jake. Stay away from me, I just might make sense of all of this.
