Criminal Minds and evidence.

Did you watch Criminal Minds last night? People forced to commit murder when their loved ones were kidnapped and threatened with death. And then there was a twist. The kidnapper himself was the victim of a bigger predator who forced the play. Too far fetched? Maybe.

But cast your mind back to what was written in Jimmy's blog before. Cast your mind back to what happened to Yit Ho after beating that GM in Brunei. Do they not attack the kids to control the parents?

This brings me back to that discussion I had last week. Another topic was the inclusion of MACC. I was approached separately earlier and asked to help compile evidence. So this is what I said. The collection of evidence is not our job. All we need to do is to show sufficient circumstantial evidence to lodge a complaint. MACC then uses the authority vested in them to get the evidence. And then the evidence and recommendation is sent to the AG's chambers for them to determine if it is solid enough to prosecute.

Even other committee members of MCF do not have evidence. I know from my own experience in PICA. There are no accounts. They have been doing the same thing for many years. They know how to protect themselves.

While we on the other hand are still waiting for evidence. Aiyah! Sampai tua.

So if we have no physical evidence, as there are none, what can we do? Do you think we can get it on tape of some IM colluding with MCF? And even if we lie in wait and have hidden cameras with us all the time to tape the conversation, do you think we are going to catch them saying, "hey lets screw the chess community. Lets do a bluff selection and then we put in our own people that have deals with us. They will be too scared or too stupid to question us. Or both. Fear will make them stupid. And if they do question, we just pusing pusing as normal, put the blame here and there and then they will all give up eventually".

The game of chess applied to life.

No my friends. That is not going to happen. You are not going to get evidence that way either.


An aside: It's a little like when we call the police if we see suspicious behaviour by people outside our homes. Maybe they are carrying parangs and trying to climb over our gate. You don't wait for the evidence before you call the police. The evidence comes after you are robbed, hurt or killed. The evidence is your dead body, the murder weapon.........


We have plenty of circumstantial evidence. In law sometimes even that is sufficient to convict. So stop allowing them to use threats against our children to control us. This has been going on for too long. And there are other peoples children at stake here too. We did not get into chess to watch our children threatened and us becoming powerless. We came into chess to help our children learn something to make them smarter and stronger individuals so that they can stand tall in the new globalised world. So don't let them hijack this objective from us.

At this point, I know from feedback that many of you are convinced that the selection and our team is a fraud. But the big question remains if there was collusion. Jimmy is busy blaming MCF and saying it has nothing to do with him. What do you expect him to say?? But what does circumstantial evidence tell us?

See coming post, further conspiracy theory 2.

Note: It's like chess. When the opponent makes a move we try to see the intention. We weigh out the possible ramifications of that move. We do not rush to conclusions. If a strong pattern emerge, enough to satisfy us, we come to a conclusion and respond accordingly. We do not jump up and down and get angry. We analyse. But we cannot ask the opponent for the blueprint to his plan ie evidence of his ill intent. 


They are using their chess training against you in this arena so I suggest you use your chess training too. And then you need to have the courage to make your best move; according to the goal you want to achieve. The board is being played out in front of you now. Can you see the pattern?


Chess is a game of forward decision making. Decisions to make or not make as we see the circumstantial evidence unveil before us. So don't do it upside down; postmortem after we have the "evidence" that we have been checkmated. We have fritz for that.


So stop wasting time and lodge that complaint if you think that is the right way to go.
