REVERSE SPEECH ANALYSIS TRACK RECORD EXAMPLES

from RECENT CONSULTATIONS

NOTE: The validity of any methodology is a function of its ability to profile or predict behaviours, events, situations, or other details which can subsequently be corroborated independently.

The following examples illustrate how Reverse Speech Analysis, when skilfully and accurately applied by a thoroughly trained Analyst, is meeting that standard.

PART 1: CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS

1. In a case of alleged rape, the plaintiff had told detectives that she had not been sexually active, even with her boyfriend, for at least 72 hours prior to the alleged rape. The Reverse Speech Analysis revealed, in her own voice, a person’s name and a statement of sexual activity embedded in her statement describing events on the night of the alleged incident.

The name that appeared in the covert speech channel did not match that of her boyfriend nor of any of the four defendants, suggesting that she had been active with someone other than her boyfriend and other than the defendants within 24 hours of the alleged incident. This finding, among a variety of other profile data provided by the analysis, contradicted her forward statements to the detectives. Three weeks subsequent to the Reverse Speech Analysis finding, DNA analysis results from the state police lab corroborated the Reverse Speech Analysis finding.

STATEMENT FROM THE RETAINING ATTORNEY RE: DNA CORROBORATION OF REVERSE SPEECH ANALYSIS IN A CASE OF ALLEGED RAPE 

To whom it may concern:

I recently had the pleasure of working with Jack Johnston when he was retained to analyse certain tape-recorded statements involving a multiple-defendant rape case I was working on. Mr. Johnston employed his Reverse Speech Analysis on numerous tapes, and as a result, he was able to give me several insights into the hidden meanings behind some of the statements. I ended up using several of Mr. Johnston's suggestions in my summation at trial, which ended successfully.

One particular area of Mr. Johnston's analysis turned out to be remarkable. In his analysis of the alleged victim's statement, Mr. Johnston told me that the alleged victim had been having sexual relations with someone besides her boyfriend or the alleged rapists. Later, during the course of discovery, the State Police Lab determined that her clothing contained DNA evidence from two unidentified males, and the alleged rapists were excluded as donors. That DNA finding confirmed Mr. Johnston's earlier conclusion.

I would definitely recommend Mr. Johnston's services to anyone who is looking for insight into a recorded statement.

D. E. Esq., Attorney at Law

=====

2. In a homicide case, a “witness” to the incident revealed in the covert (‘Reverse Speech’) channel a specific (and unusual) first name of someone who would “tell all.” Interview of the party mentioned, and of her daughter, produced information material to the case.

Reverse Speech Analysis of the deponent’s description of the moment the shot was fired revealed (again, in the deponent’s own voice) her probable greater involvement in the incident than as a mere witness, and a specific motive for the shooting, which motive was subsequently corroborated independently by statements of others with knowledge of the circumstances of the incident.

When describing how her ex-boyfriend allegedly shot and killed the victim, she produced a reversal that said: “I kill glad you [s.o.b.], you will deal when I 'law'!" ("law" is a Reverse Speech metaphor that in this context means ‘when I say so!’), thereby indicating that she had a lot more to do with the victim’s death, and that it apparently was revenge for his not continuing to include her as a partner in his drug dealing activities.

This motive re: the victim’s allegedly dealing drugs without the speaker’s ‘permission’ was confirmed by the retaining attorney as a probable motive for the homicide, based on statements of other persons having knowledge of the speaker’s relationship with the victim, and their involvement with drug dealing.

=====

3. In another homicide case, Reverse Speech Analysis of a statement of the suspect as he was denying his adult son’s alleged affair with the victim’s wife directly contradicted his denial, when “nearly got caught” appeared in the covert channel. This ‘Reverse Speech’ statement by the suspect offered material insight into a possible cause of the argument between the suspect and the victim that had resulted in the victim’s death.

When confronted with this possibility, the son vehemently denied such involvement… until three months later, at which time after repeated confrontation on this issue, the son finally admitted such an affair, thus corroborating the Reverse Speech Analysis finding, and affirming facts material to the case.

The victim’s wife, who was party to the affair profiled by the Reverse Speech Analysis, when confronted with the investigators’ knowledge of the affair, demonstrated shock, and then admitted to the affair in her deposition.

PART 2: CORPORATE CONSULTATION

Analysis of statements by a CEO (at his request) during the final stages of two merger negotiations: His reversals warned him against either deal. He followed the advice of his reversals in the first case and acknowledged in retrospect that he had avoided an agreement that would probably have seriously damaged his corporation.

In the second proposed merger, he elected not to follow the Reverse Speech Analysis warnings  embedded in his statement regarding the proposed alliance (including a clear reversal which stated: “I’d vote skippin’ it”), and the merger counterpart ultimately stole control of the company.

PART 3: PRIVATE INVESTOR

Consultation of a private investor, as an adjunct to conventional due diligence regarding possible substantial investment in an oil exploration and drilling project. Analysis of the oil prospecting company owner’s speech in a video tape promoting the investment, and some radio interviews, revealed that the prospective company probably had legal problems that were preventing the firm from getting the oil out of the ground... subsequent review of their SEC audit filings by my client at my recommendation confirmed this.

A year later, based on his satisfaction with our previous efforts, this same investor requested another analysis of recent recorded public statements by this same oil company president stating that SB-2 (public stock offering approval) was imminent, and was going to happen “any day now.” Among a variety of Reverse Speech analysis findings was one in which the president, in his best Texan drawl, was stating in his overt speech that the “gee-a-physical” (geophysical) data was looking terrific. However, upon Reverse Speech Analysis of this statement, the word “gee-a-physical” contained the clear subliminal embed: “Looks iffy.”

The oil company’s enthusiastic overt pronouncements notwithstanding, the investor elected to wait. He contacted us several months later and reported that the SB-2 application to the SEC was withdrawn by the oil company, previous issues of the stock had dropped, and the exploration and development strategies had stalled indefinitely.

PART 4: CANCER PATIENT SEEKING INSIGHT INTO EMOTIONAL ISSUES

ASSOCIATED WITH HIS DISEASE

In addition to our referring him to a prominent radiation oncologist and counselor for medical evaluation and emotional counseling, we interviewed him at his request him regarding possible emotional concomitants of his illness. Embedded in the statement: “Basically I want to get rid of the cancer challenge.” were the phrases: “Get it early.” and “You don’t like a sib.”

Since he was talking about “the cancer challenge,” the embedded message “Get it early.” appears to be a warning from his subconscious that he should be very aggressive in seeking treatment as soon as possible.

“You don’t like a sib.” “Sib” is a common shortening of the word “sibling.” Thus we asked him if he had a sibling with whom he was having conflict, since the stress of such a conflict may be exacerbating the disease. He acknowledged that he had “a little misunderstanding” with a brother.

Upon being asked what he meant by “little misunderstanding,” he revealed that he was actually initiating a very hostile lawsuit against his brother regarding proceeds of inheritance from their deceased mother, and intended to “strip him to the bone.” He was encouraged to address his intense feelings in this matter as part of the counselling process to which we referred him.
