James Arthur Ray

Something to Think About, me thinks…

I am honored to have been invited to visit with a Lakota Medicine Man today. My friend, and long-time friend of James Shore, Scott, is part Native American - as was James - and arranged a visit.

I will say that I am quite excited. Scott has prepared prayer strings for ceremonial offering. Scott and I will probably not stay for the ceremony. Nonetheless, I am studying up a bit on Lakota Culture, so as not to be the offensive white guy. It is an honor to have been invited along with Scott to visit. I am very aware of this fact.

In studying up, I found this. I think it is very poignant and certainly topical, given the recent death of James and the other two victims at the hands of James Arthur Ray, charlatan extraordinaire.

James Shore, as part Chippewa, would have been heartbroken to know that his death would have resulted in any strife within the tribes, or used to cast any dispersion on Native Peoples. Had he known that his participation in a White Man's Sweat was heretical, he would never had participated.

But I stand by my statement now more than ever: James Shore did not attend the "Spiritual Warrior" event as a "follower" - if you would had known him, as I did, it becomes increasingly apparent that he went as an observer.

Imagine if you will a sociologist wanting to really see an asylum from the inside - and being committed purposefully in order to do so. This has happened in the past.

James was an anthropologist at heart who was fascinated by the fringe.

The truth of the matter will out. But I am here to say that James A Ray was no match for James Shore - spiritually, intellectually, or otherwise. And James was no fool. Which begs the question I will answer: What was he up to?

James A Ray was f**king with things he had no business messing with. And he owes all Native People a massive apology. But he won't apologize - because he is a snake, a profiteer, a murderer of sacred things, a murderer of people.

As more and more reports emerge about the activities of James Arthur Ray (he who killed my brother) and JRI (James Ray International) emerge, a certain stink begins to waft about - first slender tendrils of stink which hint - then on to discover the source of the stink, one finds all manner of tragedy, negligence, and greed - a steamy pile of James Arthur Ray in the corner of the living room that someone other than James Arthur Ray will have to clean up.

Here is an interesting blog. Did Colleen Conaway really throw herself to her own doom? Here is a great post.

BTW - there is an art in the land of Search Engine Marketing called "Brand Protection" or "Reputation Management" - wherein a business hires a Search Engine Mktg company to scour the intratubals looking for negative press and combating negative search results with extremely expensive SEM techniques - essentially, so that when one searches for "James Arthur Ray," one sees benignÂ results, rather than natural (organic) search results... which, un-manipulated,Â would by this time be top to bottom results speaking to James Arthur Ray's negligence and current/ongoing troubles (re: negative press).

It is my professional opinion James Arthur Ray and James Ray International have hired a very adept SEM company to unnaturally impact the natural (organic) rankings. What this means is that they are astroturfing the Search Engines, skewing the organic results in order to protect the brand that is James A Ray.

It is not cheap.

UPDATE: MilwaukeeSEO, Anthony "Don't Call me Tony" Verre, indicates that it is unlikely, based on his analysis, JARay is doing any sort of Search Engine Astroturfing. Sez Mr. Verre, SEM Expert Extraordinaire (my go to now that my business partner is dead) "if James Ray has contracted a SEM firm, they suck at their job."

James S Shore – Certifiable HERO: UPDATE

While James Shore was pulling unconscious people out of the â€œsweat lodgeâ€ death tarp trap, James Ray was running away from the scene. While James Shore lay dying, having given his life to save others, James Ray was boarding his plane. While the most recent victim of his negligence, Liz Neuman of Minnesota, was in a coma, James Ray was writing two-bit checks to surviving childrenâ€¦ in amounts more insulting and hurtful than helpful â€“ and giving seminars while our brother Jamesâ€™ body lay in state for his children to view.

Fuck this guy. Reminds me of a quote:

Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood.

- George S Patton

Friendly fire, then, must be the essence of James A Ray. Or worse: cowardice.

There is unfinished business, Mr. Ray.

UPDATE:

As I suspected, James Ray is a coward.

Off to the side, a medical doctor participating in the retreat performed CPR on Shore and Brown with the aid of others. When Bunn [an orthodontist] asked if she could help because she knew CPR, she was told to stay back.

Ray was standing about 10 feet away, watching, Bunn said. "He didn't do anything, he didn't participate in helping. He did nothing. He just stood there."
