Dear Madame Zoltar

Hello, my precious peonies! How are you? The holiday weekend messed me all up – I thought today was Tuesday. I am running late again.

Mr. Avenging Angel submitted an email this week, which reads:

Madame,

In "The Prince", Machiavelli poses the question: "Is it better to be loved or feared?" What about you? Would you rather be loved or feared?

Well, Mr. AA, my first thought is that love doesn’t pay the bills, but fear might. On a personal level, though, I would opt for being loved rather than being feared because fear won’t keep me warm on a cold winter night, but love might. What do you readers think?

As a public service today, I am posting videos on psychic fakes and frauds. Although some psychics are honest, hard working individuals who have only their clients’ best interests at heart, there are those treacherous individuals and groups who try to take advantage of the trust that people place in them. It’s not pretty and it’s not nice, but that’s the way it is, like the neighborhoods surrounding downtown Racine.

The first video comes from California, where Mr. Anthony has a bit of a meltdown when confronted with some disturbing evidence concerning one of his readings, and Madame Vivian appears to be doing quite well with her business.



Here’s an Australian clairvoyant who goes by the name of Carina or Alana or whatever. She’s a pip, and a real money maker!



And finally, here’s a short clip where a fraud gets his comeuppance. Gory, but to the point.



Remember to be careful when selecting a psychic, my friends. A true medium will not be overly eager to collect funds from you, nor will he/she completely loot your bank account until at least the fourth or fifth visit. When in doubt, contact me and I will advise you, for a very reasonable fee. You can reach me at madamezoltar@jtirregulars.com.

Thank you for reading my blog today. Don’t forget, free advice is usually worth what you pay for it. See you next week, my dears.
