Michael Hubbs, Deaf, Olympic Hopeful, A Fraud ?

VIDEO: Michael Hubbs, Deaf, Olympic Hopeful, A Fraud?



deafndumb.com - Michael Hubbs a Fraud: Still recalling the experience as clear as day, six years ago, when I first met this man, Michael Hubbs, back when I was just twenty years old. Coincidentally riding together on the Gallaudet bus over to the Union Station, and apparently so, one curious enough to entice a conversation with me.



Mike sat besides me from my aisle as we rode along without any passengers around. A new face, I thought as I really didn't care much about this person. With one's hair slicked back, a black t-shirt worn with tan cargo shorts, and some grey running shoes on. Waving to get my attention, one asked with a jittery composure, "what's your name?" signing with his mouth open, revealing his pearly white teeth, "do you work out?" as I was already unable to respond to his first inquiry...

'I AM' - Michael Hubbs.

"Clyde..." I responded... although a bit more eagerly, I then added, "yeah... I do work out, it's all that I ever do." Meh, meh, meh..... as a Deafie would gesture with one's lips, acknowledging with intrigue, Mike then asked, "how much do you bench?" "Do you squat?" Again... asking several questions without the proper knowledge of how to actually converse with somebody. I nodded along, "315 lbs... I squat okay, 315 lbs as well." Shaking his head, "that's bad!" he, already, went onto criticize me, as we were passing by New York Ave, onwards Union Station.



Naturally being distracted, I peered out the bus window to see who may have been waiting outside for the bus once only to find that there was nobody else around, before redirecting my attention t'wards Mr. Hubbs, "So hey... where are you going?" he asked. "Pentagon City Mall," I said, "to buy myself some protein and to bullshit around I guess." Meh, meh, meh, Mike did again with his stupid lips, still staring at me with those eyes jolted of such energy that's often found unmatched with most people that I've met. "Mind if I join you? I'm just metro-ing around to get some idea of Washington D.C. before I decide that I enroll myself in Gallaudet University." ...

Michael Hubbs Statement on DeafNDumb.com:



This will be the ONLY ONE TIME statement from me. It’s going to be simple. I have not made any comments ANYWHERE about this blog until now. I took the time to sit back and remain calm. This is a new experience for me. I am not going to make any comments about the blog telling if it was true or not. It does not matter. The point is that you need to ask yourself few questions. Do you really know me? What is the goal of this blog? What exactly is he trying to do and trying to win? Do you know the author? Do you know his history? Everything on the blog is the truth? Have you look at his facebook reading many different comments that he made? Am I the only one that he is pointing at? Why hold the past when it was about 6 or 7 years ago? The truth is let the ACTION do the talk. ... Read more: https://www.facebook.com/samuraiskater

Deaf Quadriplegic David Rose Is A Hoax

(CBS News) - Popular Deaf, Paraplegic blogger “Dave on Wheels” David Rose exposed as an elaborate hoax.

Social media worldwide has been subjected to an elaborate hoax, conned into thinking that Dave, a Deaf quadriplegic with cerebral palsy, actually existed.



The story of Dave Rose was followed by millions until he died, and that's when the real story emerged.



(New York Daily News) - David Rose’s farewell letter to his friends and family touched hearts around the country. But David, a Deaf 24-year-old with severe cerebral palsy that left him confined to a wheelchair, never existed. A fraudster invented him in an act of ‘role-playing.’



David Rose, a Deaf quadriplegic whose dying words to his family and friends became an online sensation, never existed. An anonymous man admitted the whole thing was an elaborate hoax that went on for years.



Online, Rose was a cheerful 24-year-old from California whose inability to hear or walk didn’t interfere with his quirky sense of humor. He maintained a blog, a Twitter account and a Facebook page that had been active since 2007.



Last week, a post on his blog said he died after a short battle with pneumonia, and he’d written a letter to be posted by his "sister" Nichole if he passed.



The story was picked up by national news outlets, and even Kim Kardashian tweeted a quote from Rose’s letter: "Always do what is right. Always! But forgive yourself if you forget sometimes... Read more: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/dave-wheels-wrote-online-goodbye-died-exposed-a-hoax-article-1.1184489

The man pictured on “Dave on Wheels” accounts is actually another man named Hunter Dunn, who is still alive and in good health as of this posting. A full investigative report on the “Dave on Wheels” hoax, including the full confession from the perpetrator, can be found here.



Are you bummed that “Dave on Wheels” was a hoax?

NAD Voting System Rigged ?

Video: NAD Voting System Rigged ?



The Election Committee of the National Association of the Deaf voting system fraudulent ??? How does the voting system works during selection of NAD Officers. Questions about how the delegates are supposed to do at NAD Conference. Numerous of Deafies heard about the voting had been rigged.



Electronic voting (also known as e-voting) is a term encompassing several different types of voting, embracing both electronic means of casting a vote and electronic means of counting votes as seen on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_voting A public network DRE voting system is an election system that uses electronic ... Internet voting to elect officers and Board members and for other proxy elections, ... and include software, different methods of election fraud become possible.



The Deaf Community keeps hearing different stories such as favoritism and fixture but a certain if they all are true, however, one source said the voting system can be cheated when the ballots are counted to choose by the NAD staff. It is damaged now and it is disgusted for the Deaf Communties and will fight it in next election of 2014. The thing is it's the special interest groups such as Z|CSDVRS keep NAD positions in their hands for a number of years. Way too long. They should allow others to run NAD for a change. People's rationale about being a delegate but sit is according to the NAD bylaws that change comes through the State Associations. Please watch on iDeafNews video: https://vimeo.com/45343477 before you read this blog and watch vlogs in ASL.

The Election Committee announced official candidates for officer and regional representative positions on the National Association of the Deaf Board of Directors - Find more information at: http://www.nad.org/louisville/official-candidates-board-positions



Terms of "Status Quo" and "Patronizing Deaf Community." What Ridor said just now is exactly the same thing a State Association of the Deaf is doing to the State Deaf Community. It is very sad to know that organization(s) owned by members are SO SO hesistant for positive changes. Instead of making changes we need, the organization(s) puts us back in medieval times.

NAD Delegates Equal Right Votes?

NAD Delegates Equal Right Votes? In which the election committee announced official candidates NAD Presidential elections that Chris Wagner has been selected to serve as the NAD's president in which the Z|CSDVRS's vice president Chris Wagner is operating systems. The many of Deaf Communites finds disburbing and uncomfortable the words 'DEAF MILITANTS' commencement speech ideas from the Z|CSDVRS company, as seen on article: Deaf Militant Is An 'Intergenerative' Hate Speech



Deaf Communites should continue contacting FCC to file complaint and boycotting such services. They have no business of throwing labels to a population they services while receiving federal funds. Also, censoring freedom of speech and social media while implementing their own agendas for NAD Presidential selection. Neutral and non-discriminatory must! Consequences.

CSD has been harboring NAD and weakening its system for over a decade! NAD Voting System - Number one important - first thing - let us all focus to see if NAD will do fix the bylaws - Voting systems need to change asap!

I would like to ask you to do us a favor. ZVRS is currently being bombarded on social media by Sheri supporters or so-called "Deaf militiants."

Thank you for your time.

The Z|CSDVRS, LLC."that FCC will investigate such a hate speech and find out why Deaf Militants is an 'intergenerative' hate speech. That just fits the federal Hate Crime Statistics Act (HCSA). Why?

FCC will be required to refer your letter to DOJ. See below:



You have to report and file the complaint Nature of commendation, complaint or concern.

Dear Sir:



I, the undersigned, request that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) investigates an apparently slanderous email written and distributed by Julian Moiwai, the Social Media Coordinator of Z|Communication Service for the Deaf Video Relay Services (Z|CSDVRS), to his employees and contractors. The Z|CSDVRS is federally funded for the provision of Video Relay Services (VRS) that is governed by the rules adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) (47 C.F.R. 65.601 et. seq.) pursuant to the FCC's authority under Section 225 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 225. Moiwai's statement that "ZVRS is currently being bombarded on social media by Sheri [Farinha] supporters or so-called "Deaf militiants (sic)," begs for an official reprimand.



I am not very comfortable with the fact that such federally funded agencies like the Z and CSD played politics during the presidential election in the National Association of the Deaf (NAD) Conference last week. The Z|CSDVRS's Vice President Chris Wagner won the NAD presidential election. I ask that the FCC stops meddling in any consumer organization by federally funded agencies.



Sincerely,



(your signature - required)

HEARS For The First Time Video Is FAKE ?

Video: Hears for the first time video is fake ?



If you have access to the internet, or live within shouting distance of someone who does, then few past weeks ago, you probably watched the wildly popular the videos of "HEARS for the first time" in these days, Deaf people who, after receiving cochlear/hearing implantations, was able to hear for the first time.

Some people humbly suggest that the debate over real or fake is completely meaningless anyway, since the purpose is just to get people talking about the company or the product in fact, the people who are crying "fake," while trying to damage the video's reputation, are actually only helping the brand succeed in generating buzz. It's a textbook example of the "the "Streisand Effect."



"Entertainment and sharing are the only goals with online video ads" Viewers get so caught up in the debate over real or fake, but you know who doesn't? The brand. Do you think the brand cares whether you came to the video with a bias thinking it was fake? Because they don't. What they care about is that you A) watched it, and B) forwarded it to someone. You could have forwarded it because you believed it was a real. Or you could have sent it to friends because you're convinced it's an obvious fake and you want their support. Either way... the video is shared like crazy.



It's also incredibly difficult to "prove" these things one way or another, which will allow the conspiracy theory to live on almost indefinitely. So if they're smart, The community isn't getting caught up in trying to prove their video is real, but are merely basking in the glow of the tech journalism's spotlight. Meanwhile, international media news are the propaganda of HUGE lies!!!, but the audience will no longer believe it's real.



One frequently cited piece of evidence supporting the hoax claim is that they speaks pretty clearly which, according to Yes, they "hear" now, but they're still not "Hearing"! with captioned, It is impossible for someone who is actually Deaf. This evaluation is usually backed up with an explanation like, "My nephew went to summer camp with a guy who said his neighbor's aunt was completely Deaf, and she couldn't talk that well, so this must be a fake."



However, the first sentence of that article proves the point. They were not DEAF. They had severe "Hearing Loss." It is amazing what they did but it should not be title "DEAF" they "HEARS" for the first time. They has been heard themselves before, just not clearly. Thier voice sounded too "Hearing-Like" and could be heard clearly raising questions if her hearing loss is really severe, maybe there's a line drawn between using the term 'Deaf', because there are 'Legally Blind' people that can still see. Maybe there is 'Legally Deaf'.



These people clearly do not understand that proper speech requires hearing in order for the speaker to properly modulate their voice. For the same reason that people listening to loud music on headphones may either shout or speak too quietly, Deaf people typically have a difficult time vocalizing normally. One of the reasons that they are able to vocalize in the manner that they do is because their brain is using the vibration caused by their vocal chords to help modulate. Spoken word recognition in toddlers who use cochlear implants: http://jslhr.asha.org/cgi/content/abstract/52/6/1390



Again, Entertainment and sharing are the only goals with online video ads have been quite a few detractors on the internet stating that seems to indicate these videos may be a fake/hoax..., because they are able to speak almost immediately after it is turned on. The video takes place in a doctor's office and shows the adult/children's reaction at the precise moment a lab technician turns on the implant device. Some people viewed the video at least a half-dozen times, and they can unequivocally state that it is the most inspiring the video you will ever see that consists almost entirely of thier crying or exciting (Presumably, they are crying because of the emotion of the moment, and not because the technician decided that thier first audible sound should be a recording, perhaps. The stories run by the media is grossly distorted or simply fake (to sell the product?) it is possbile to convince people to buy the product by the cochlear implant companies from the media network.



The media network is interesting the video which on purpose is only for the money as the dirty business? as seen on Cochlear Business Is Dirty Business! with captioned. The video is only for the money as the dirty business that what the media seeking partnership agreement contract to share profit from the cochlear implant companies? The whole thing was acted out in order to help promote the implantable hearing aid. You can see the fact checks and weblinks as following: An organic cure for deafness: http://www.deafhoodfoundation.org/  Deaf Bilingual Coaltion: http://www.dbcusa.org/



"Hears for the first time" video is fake? You decide...



Have A Nice Day!

Viable Owner/CEO John TC Yeh gets nine years for fraud.

TRENTON, N.J - Founder of Viable Deaf services company gets nine years for fraud. Yeh and his brother also ordered to pay $20M each. A federal judge on Wednesday sentenced John T.C. Yeh, former CEO of Rockville Deaf services business Viable, to nine years in prison and ordered him to pay restitution of $20 million for his role in a multimillion-dollar government fraud case. His brother, former Viable vice president Joseph Yeh, received a prison sentence of 55 months on Wednesday and also was ordered by Judge Joel A. Pisano to pay $20 million in restitution.



In November 2009, John and Joseph Yeh were among 26 people nationwide to be indicted for conspiring to defraud the Federal Communications Commission’s Video Relay Service program, which helps deaf people communicate, by billing the government for millions of dollars in illegitimate calls. They pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud in October 2010.

AG Bell & CI Companies

Advanced Bionics and Cochlear Americas are featured on the AG Bell Association front page as being their Circle Alliance. Cochlear Americas was in the news yesterday as the Dept of Justice announced it has been found guilty of kickbacks and must pay $880,000.

In March I had vlogged about Advanced Bionics being the top banner on the AG Bell Homepage. Advanced Bionics had been sued by a law firm which has a Deaf lawyer who has a CI but was representing cases of Deaf adults and children who had gotten shocks and other adverse reactions to failed CIs manufactured by Advanced Bionics due to moisture leaks and faulty CIs.



Since that time AG Bell has removed Advanced Bionics from its top banner. Great news. Perhaps the cochlear implant is only for the MONEY as the dirty business? as seen on Cochlear Business Is Dirty Business! with captioned.
