MAXIMILIEN DE L’ESBROUFFE AND THE RIDICULOUS Psychics

It’s the story of a failure who managed to bluff certain clairvoyants who were so eager for publicity that they lost all clairvoyance.

A person dreamed of being a press magnate. Alas, it’s not Citizen Kane who wants it. This requires real talent. Since he doesn’t have one, the man will lie, lie and lie again. He calls himself Maximilien de Lafayette. Double and noble meaning: the first name of an emperor (which ended badly) and above all, the nickname of the revered Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de La Fayette. Defender of freedom, hero of the Independence of the United States alongside George Washington, the Marquis de La Fayette left an unforgettable memory among Americans. Being called Lafayette in the United States is a problem for your man. In France too. Except that we have to give ourselves the means to get there. The Marquis de La Fayette had convictions, character, courage. Maxou has nothing but wind to sell.

He founded an association of certified mediums: certified by whom? Himself and his friends the little green men. In 2012, he founded a press company, the Times Square Press. A prestigious name for publishing various titles dealing with parapsychology and ufology in which we find the same photos and the same articles down to the word: the links between Nazis and extraterrestrials, the Annunakis who created man, do we love the wrong god, extraterrestrial abductions, extraterrestrials wrote the Bible… And the essential Patti Negri, who appears on the covers of various magazines and in long and laudatory articles. What is surprising is that the one whom Times Square Press inducts as the greatest lady of Parapsychology is also… a member of the editorial team and vice-president of the Maxou association! You are never served so well as by yourself… Finally, let’s not forget the lists. Lists are Maximilien’s guilty pleasure. He stuffs lists of them everywhere. Lists, lists and more lists. In one direction, in the other, by theme, in alphabetical order, by star… I have to tell you that lists triple the pages of a book or magazine in less than two. But it also leaves the reader with the impression of having been cheated on the content of his books.

Max la Fayette becomes Max Bankrupt

It must be believed that the rantings (copied in as many editions as possible) of the great Maximilian were not able to attract an American public that was ready to swallow many snakes. In 2014, after a few issues, Times Square Press stopped publishing. Poor people, they nevertheless claimed to be number 1 in sales on Amazon. Do you understand something? Unless… What follows will allow us to understand everything, thanks to Max’s second specialty after lists: mystification.

Some time ago, two hundred clairvoyants in France received a questionnaire by email. Questionnaire which turned into a pseudo interview with some of them. Some questions on the need to regulate the practice of clairvoyance, but also questions as relevant as “do you follow fashion?”, “do you like social life? Large receptions? Everything that glitters?” “What books do you read?” Questions which have nothing to do with schmilblick but which still allow Max the Fouinasse to know who he is dealing with. In the email, after the introduction, “Are you available for an interview for the American Press? Interview for the “American Psychic & Medium Magazine.” New York.” ,twolinks which refer to the super publications of Maximilien’s so-called Maxi press company. The only problem is that when we look a little closer, we realize that the said publications are starting to date… And for good reason, since 2014, Times Sqaure Press has no longer published. A phone call to New York and we learn that Max has gone “bankrupt” (in English in the text). How? Not a clairvoyant, not a medium detected the deception! Would the afterlife be a bit playful for having let all these extra-lucid people get lost in such mystification? Worse, always ready to jump at the slightest opportunity to gain publicity in all humility, the clan of certain ridiculous clairvoyants rushed headlong into the adventure, without sniffing out the multiple inconsistencies of this so-called great American press company. They are so thirsty for publicity, despite their national and international fame, that they did not even see that it was an attempt to succeed in France which failed miserably in the States. That’s bad news for these self-proclaimed extra-lucid people! A smokescreen which is nevertheless easy to detect by any ordinary person devoid of any mediumistic gift.

As we saw above, the publications presented as monthly in the maxi TSP emails all date from 2012 to 2014. We find the same articles and the same photos in the different titles, articles which correspond exactly to Maximilien’s books. In the guide for clairvoyants, written by Maximilien himself, it is claimed that the ranking (international please) is established following the vote of consultants, clairvoyants and, yes, word of mouth… Whose ears? Mickey maybe… Needless to say, it looks serious and above all very “official” as the guide claims to be. We understand why our pure clairvoyants threw themselves into this with their papier-mâché ethics.

Oh sorry, I forgot an important detail. The famous “official” guide is “syndicated” by the no less “official” American Federation of Certified Psychics and Mediums. Phew, just that. In addition, the author suggests that this federation, of which he is the founding president (well), would be an official body of the State of New York. “It has received approval from the Government of New York to develop, recognize, certify and promote the work” of clairvoyants and other mediums. “Its statutes are approved by the United States.” It’s true that it throws a lot of weight. Except that in real language, it is nothing more or less than one association among others, which has received confirmation of its declaration from the State of New York. As the local pétanque club will declare itself to the prefecture and will therefore claim to be the official organization, recognized and certified by the French State for the defense and promotion of the game of boules under the plane trees.

As it is not a lie, Max, the joker, accuses the Inad of being a commercial enterprise because the association asks a contribution from its members. Like the million French associations. He says his organization “does not ask for or receive money from the public, psychics or mediums.” Ah good? Come on, take a quick look at the page of the federation of certified auto mediums: we learn that the tests and services are free, except… Except for the annual membership fee which is 75 dollars. Add 10 dollars if you wish to receive one of the 17 diplomas awarded by the federation, including Witchcraft Practitioner(level 10), Paranormal Investigator (level 14, not easy) and the highest of all, Anunnaki Ulema, in other words Doctor of Law of the Anunnaki (the extraterrestrial gods according to Max the Smoker). It feels like a video game or the infamous Scientology leaderboard. Ah yes, I forgot a very small clarification. The tests are free but you have to pay 75 dollars per test to the examiner who is none other than a member of the federation… Have you understood the subtlety? How to make money off the back of an apprentice is the law of the little green men. Knowing that you have to pass in front of several examiners for each level… And but oh! What do I see? You must pay the Federation 150 dollars in fees for each category of test that you wish to take: i.e. 2,550 dollars to be paid to the federation of associated liars to be ulema gnagnagna. Apart from that, the federation does not take any costs according to the emails sent to French clairvoyants…. As for pumping money from its members, Inad has lessons to learn from the federation of psychomachins.

To think that our dear Joan of Arc of ethics, Estelle des Enclos, so proud to make the front page of the first version of Maximilien’s bogus magazine, bursts into a brilliant tirade on the ethics of the said Maximilien de Lafayette “Information (Editor’s note which one?) on the editorial ethics of the publisher speaks for itself, and through its content can only silence the evil-thinking souls who bring discredit to these publications and beyond on the skills of the professionals put forward by these American publications, which is deplorable… Poor Estelle. Making a fool of yourself to this extent, just because a king of showoffs stuck her photo on the front page of a magazine published on a self-publishing site. Oddly, the same Estelle talks about the contributions of the Inad but not these famous free paid tests from the Federation of her new friend… Ethics has its limits which the need for notoriety easily crosses.

In this regard, don’t you find it strange, a large American press company, which claims to have several investigators and journalists, which is going to publish itself on a self-publishing site? Do you know many press companies that publish the same guide with the same lists under 4 different covers in a few days? Do you know many press companies that publish 3 versions of a magazine with the same articles, the same lists, the same photos? Do you know many press companies that distribute their articles by email before they are even published? Do you know many press companies which claim to carry out serious investigations and which accuse INAD of being the author of an article which is clearly displayed as being published by another organization?

Tell me a little, in his biography, Maximilien de Lafayette claims to be the most prolific author in the world with more than 2,500 written works, and one of the most brilliant minds of modern times. He has therefore written 2500 books, 22 dictionaries, 9 encyclopedias in 25 languages. His books have more than 120 million readers around the world and he has to his credit more than 220 so-called “confirmed by Amazon” best sellers. That’s not nothing, not to mention that the guy is also the author of screenplays, documentaries, musicals. He’s a lawyer and a linguist and a couple of other things. The guy was commissioned by Yale University to translate the draft constitution for Iraq into Persian. It poses itsman, even his superman. Well, believe me or not, despite all these extraordinary internationally recognized talents, no one knows him. It does not appear in any dictionary, any article, any encyclopedia. So go to your bookseller to ask for one of Maximilien de Lafayette’s 220 best sellers, you will see his stunned look. My bookseller looked at me mockingly and said: “Miss, is that for a hidden camera?” 2500 books, 220 best sellers, and not a publishing house that will offer him a golden bridge to publish one of his works. Firecracker, she had a JK Rowling bowl! No publisher worth their salt realizes that the guy is a genius, to the point that the guy is forced to self-publish at lulu.com, the kind of self-publishing service used by Grandpa Raymond to pass on his memoirs to his 27 grandchildren. Quick, a quest for the Superman of the little green men. And then a good teacher to teach this internationally renowned linguist to write in French without going through the automatic translator box which gives the impression that we are reading a CM1 kid.

Fortunately, Maxou has his groupies ready to uproot their professional virtue to obtain a cover on the multi-reissued magazine or a ranking in the famous guide with 5 presentations. The four ridiculous clairvoyants, Estelle des Enclos (the one who writes to consultants who have never consulted her), Alexia Conseil (remember, the one who worked while being declared a cattle breeder), Ghislaine de Carli (the one who supports Estelle’s super ethics), Eysmeralda Cirdutan (the one who defines herself as the queen of the naive) will have a hard time getting over it when the blow falls again as quickly as in the United States. How will these internationally renowned pure psychic super clairvoyants explain that they have seen nothing, but even seen nothing, of this gross manipulation? How can we still be credible when we praise the ethics of such a mythomaniac just because we are on the cover of a magazine, or when, like Alexia Conseil and Eysmeralda, we are ecstatic at the publication of Mimie Wright (aka Marla Cohen) who claims that Lafayette’s Guide (one of the multiple presentations of the same endless lists) is ranked no. 1 in Kindle Store > Kindle Ebooks > Esotericism and Paranormal > Kabbalah, gnosis and occultism, n°3 in Books > Esotericism and Paranormal > Kabbalah, gnosis and occultism, without even taking the care to check by clicking on the link posted by this same Mimie. The two super clairvoyants would then have noticed that on the same day of the publication by Mimie/Marla, Amazon indicated the rankings 34 and 93 respectively… It’s crazy for extra-lucid people to go astray at that point! You’ll have to rub the crystal ball hard or think about a career change… In horse breeding for Alexia, and the creation of (very pretty) costumes for Eysmeralda. But Estelle? Maybe join Maximilien’s investigation department. It must be said that he needs it. The poor guy has an investigation service that is as efficient as it is completely invented. The proof, he is obliged to launch a call for denunciation against the Inad. It’s reminiscent of Uncle Adolf’s 1940s. Come on, who is going to collaborate with this pathetic little follower of McCarthyism?

Addendum Since Maximilien loves adding addendums (and yes Mr linguist, in French addum does not exist), here are the comments from rare readers of his books:

If you’re hoping for a directory, it’s not. It’s more or less tastequestions and blah blah blah answers from anyone. The author spends his time trying to convince us of his crazy and incomprehensible theses, without providing the slightest interesting element. Go on your way. It’s not even poorly written; it was simply not made by one or more pigs! Difficult to find a lower level: worse than what we call “concierge gossip”, in addition to insults towards these stars etc, etc, who have not been there for so long to respond and defend themselves etc, etc. We suspect that the book was written by a group of extremist puritans, unless the author, who has a prestigious name, managed to come up with something alone that does not even deserve the name of rag! The icing on the cake: we obviously used the automatic translator to achieve a folkloric result in the language of Molière. Amazon would honor itself by removing this book from its sales!!… And yet, Amazon does offer you a book “in French”… What do we call this type of deception?… Why did you make such a hypothesis? Honestly, this rather messy book has no historical interest and only provides very vague testimonies written in both English and French, undoubtedly to “lengthen the sauce”. […] For a history buff and particularly that of the Second World War, this does not even deserve the star that must be given to it for a comment to sanction it. Historians and history lovers, run away from it rather than fulminating on every page. This book is a big scam. I read it in 20 minutes with my watch in hand! There are 70 half-filled pages, half of which have useless images!!!! Who are you kidding?! This book is empty!!!! It’s a shame of Amazon to offer it for sale! I will now request a refund. The author doesn’t tell us anything about the inhabitants of Aldebaran! No one will catch me again, Mr. Maximilien! A big waste for the trees used in its manufacture! A shame! I couldn’t even finish it because it’s so misinformation and biased. What a disappointment on a subject, less fanciful than UFOs, but which remained a curiosity for a long time. A high budget if you want to buy the trilogy for a mountain of photos and a very precise list of Adolf’s visitors over a cup of tea, year by year. How is it possible that a group of authors (under the pseudonym de La Fayette) dare to write such a book of nonsense while passing it off as reality? In addition, the book is translated from American using automatic translation (good evening damage). A shame for serious ufology! Rating this book with one star is already one star too many: that’s how I regret my purchase! The French translation is distressing: probably due to translation software, because I can’t imagine a translator, even a beginner, “come up” with such a thing. As for the ideas developed in this book, they are laughable, even when you are a good audience and you really want to believe them. Very poorly translated. Very poorly constructed sentences. Ideas worthy of a child in cm2. Revelations that are absolutely unfounded.

Il est bien évident que l'INAD ne faiblira pas devant la bassesse de ses détracteurs et continuera avec une énergie renouvelée à informer, prévenir et soutenir les consommateurs , victimes de pseudo-voyants (es ) , et aussi les praticiens ( rigoureux) qui lui apportent leur soutien.

Je rejoins Angel, les écrits de Buffy sont remarquables et pertinents. Je suis admirative, quel talent! Je ne comprends pas que des voyants aient pu croire à un quelconque bénéfice, l'arnaque est grosse comme une maison. Ils n'ont plus qu'à demander le remboursement des cotisations au "descendant du Marquis de Lafayette".

Bonjour, je souhaiterais en savoir un peu plus sur ce Maximilien, il y a une nouvelle revue qui s'appelle Stars illustrated sur des musiciens français et elle est soit disant éditée par ce monsieur. Quel est le rapport avec la voyance ? Et time Square press qu'est ce que c'est ? Merci de votre réponse
