You have to pay for your own expertise...Real or fake.

Wo ho!

This is like the twighlight zone. Come along on my tour of odd coincidences...(Which of course I don't believe in.....)

Seems one of Canada's Premier go-to guys on the fake scientemific phenomena known as "excited delirium" has a few troubles popping up.

The big scary STUN GUN company has paid for him to appear at many of their functions, and give the company line....

James Cairns, one of the country's most high-profile coroners, who publicly advocates the use of the stun gun, has become one of the top Canadian experts Taser officials turn to for help shoring up public support for their products in times of crisis. Since the death of Robert Dziekanski, a Polish immigrant, at Vancouver International Airport last month, Taser has repeatedly urged journalists to contact Dr. Cairns for his pro-taser views.

He has traveled to Las Vegas, and Chicago to give the XXXXX intl studies, presented as real science.

He has also spoken at a Las Vegas conference for the Institute for the Prevention of In-Custody Deaths, a small private company with ties to Taser. It is headed by John Peters, a communications specialist who often acts as a course instructor for Taser International. Its only other director is Michael Brave, a Taser legal executive.

But it seems that Dr Cairns has some other troubles a' brewin, he was also playing cover up for the other Coroner whose cases are all coming back with erroneous autopsy results.

Dr. Cairns was slated to deliver a talk yesterday, titled "Excited Delirium Deaths: Public Inquiry Process; ED Training for Ontario Provincial Police Officer and its Impact on the Coroner's Office" at the institute's 2007 conference. He dropped out because he was testifying at an inquiry in Ontario, where he admitted to shielding disgraced pathologist Charles Smith.

Taser firms picked up coroner's tab to give lectures

Eerily like Big oil, and the tobacco companies isn't it? They have been trying to squelch data and fact with their own "studies" and experts for many years. Why not the BIG SCARY STUN GUN company? It seems in this world its how much you can spend, not how accurate the data is.

Bonus stun gun "expert" weird stuff:

Dr Deborah Mash, is another expert that XXXXX intl sends the press to talk to.

Teh Google- Dr Mash turns up in a LOT of articles.

Dr. Deborah Mash is an American professor of neurology and of molecular
and cellular pharmacology at the University of Miami School of Medicine and director of the university's Brain Endowment Bank. She is one of the world's foremost scientific experts on the hallucinogenic drug, ibogaine.

Dr. Mash has been on the scientific advisory board for the Life
Extension Foundation, located in Florida.

The Life Extension Foundation, sell vitamins and diet supplements.

That Life Extension foundation was founded by this guy: Saul Kent.

Saul Kent, also founded the ALCOR Life Extension Foundation, there are notes that the two foundations are NOT CONNECTED. Despite the name. And the founder. These are the people that freeze heads and bodies. In case they can bring them back to life one day. Uh huh.

The Baseball legend Ted Williams is somewhere in Arizona right now.........

What would Ted Williams have thought if he knew his body would be hanging
upside down in a nitrogen-filled tank with perhaps four other full bodies and
five heads at a cryogenics lab inside a strip mall in Scottsdale, Ariz.

Seen Disney on Ice?

Scottsdale is the same town that STUN GUN INTL is headquartered in, just for another bit'o'the weird.

STUN GUN expert weirdness?.......You decide.

I vote that we need independent studies and experts, who maybe, just maybe.... might have OUR best interests at heart.
