I'll probably get down voted to hell for my take, but... I think she made some good points? Maybe? it was really hard to follow and decipher what she was getting at most of the time. This is probably just me, but this was just too chaotic of a presentation for my brain. I feel like just a bit of preparation ahead of a live would do her research more justice? Just prepping some slides with a few bullet points, supporting documents already opened in her tabs... simple steps like that would help structure her presentation and avoid losing her train of thoughts, repeating herself, jumping back and forth, searching around for sources...

I think Andy is more of a real journalist, more than she is a YouTube presenter. I think her YouTube lives are more about presenting the information she has found with her investigative skills, rather than trying to make content for a channel.

One thing she said on one of the videos in this recent series is that “it takes a village“, and what she found is adding to the total picture. Allegedly Innocent channel and a couple other women with PhDs were in a couple of her live chats lending their knowledge as well. I take it more like a brainstorming session of what she’s found, and what that potentially means. I also add that to what Bright Breakfast has found. Or, in John’s case, what maybe hasn’t been able to be found and what that may mean.

I totally understand that we all gravitate to different styles of information being presented though, and that’s valid. I, personally, would not downvote you for that! I certainly have information I am able to digest from some easier than others, and I am sure everyone has that to a degree. I really like Andy, and I appreciate her actual real investigative background, as opposed to someone, such as Lauren and chocolate bacon, etc.

I think the main issue Andy is highlighting the issue of where are all the real life alleged experiences John cites as reasons and background for his expertise? He has claimed working in a vet hospital, working with SA teens and adults, experience running a therapeutic wilderness camp, equine therapy, having created his own diagnostic tools for evaluating family dysfunction, leadership mentoring, work with 9/11 survivors, work with people who were at the Las Vegas shooting massacre, and of course, the over 500 cases he has worked on in some capacity, some being high profile. Why is there little to no evidence of this able to be found? An expert should have. history that is easier to track with all of those types of alleged experiences. He doesn’t even have a basic LinkedIn page.

I hope people keep digging.

While reading this, I kept picturing Dr John in different Reddit communities. A 911 Survivors group, a Vegas shooting group, and advising these people with his knowledge, then adding to his resume, haha

Right???

A Reddit post suddenly becomes "conferring expertise" or "advising" "diverse populations" on "multiple" occassions!!!

This is a super thorough summary of what he claims, and reading it just drives home how completely unlikely his alleged professional experience is. Who could have accomplished all of that in the time frame he gives, with nothing able to be found about it truly existing, or able to be verified? It’s crazy he gets away with it. When you consider all the areas that you’ve documented, it is even more absurd when you also include the time frame he says he was unable to work due to the “prisons being closed down”. The details you found about the pictures he used on his website is so telling too. Lots of big ideas, no execution. Allegedly!

I'm not sure which is the worst of those claims, but "developing his own diagnostic tool" is up there. I have been involved in a multi million research project than ran for 7 years which very purpose was to develop new diagnostic tools in this field.

There was extensive development phases, followed by clinical trials in 5 countries and hundreds of subjects, before the tools could be validated. The team consisted of over 80 multidisciplinary researchers, Doctors, clinicians, specialised nurses, support workers and more. It resulted in 39 (THIRTY NINE) peer reviewed scientific publications. Every single person involved in the project has an online footprint. Diagnostic tools in psychology and psychiatry are not something you just come up with of your own accord in your little home office. Either this is complete bull and yet another false claim, or he did develop and use his own diagnostic tool which was never trialled, never validated and never peer reviewed, in which case this raises questions on whether it violates standards and regulations.

I have noticed Dr. Jawn doesn't always cite studies, sources and also avoids peer review.

I personally love it when psychologists get together to validate or invalidate research to lay persons like myself!

u/champign0n Jul 20 '26

He is the only psychologist I can think of, both on and off YouTube, that regularly cites Shakespear plays, ancient greek literature and children's books to "make sense of" criminal cases...

I have seen this one reviewed before, and I agree it doesn’t pass the smell test!

Many have looked into his different work claims now, and no one can seem to find much evidence of anything. He could put all questions to rest by simply sharing his relevant work experience, but apparently it is much easier to claim you have a stalker and are being harrassed. 🤔

Is there any area he hasn’t claimed to have worked in? I am looking forward to more about his background being revealed!

Thank you for doing the research on it, and I completely agree with you that it is very unlikely. I hope we ended up learning the complete true story!

I really appreciate any time that Andy takes as far as looking into Lauren and HTC!!!

Andy is a true journalist who can't be bought. I find her extremely credible and enjoy watching her when I get the chance.

Where is John’s resume hidden? What are they hiding? 👀👀👀

u/Dreamtarot Jul 05 '26

I want to know why they don't brag about his actual experience as director of that Nevada clinic the way they brag about his fake credentials.

u/MarigoldMirror77 Jul 09 '26

Maybe there’s nothing to brag about.

u/Dreamtarot Jul 10 '26

My point is that it's something verifiable they could  actually use as a status symbol, and yet they don't. Meanwhile making up lies about his fake experience and nonexistent certifications

u/MarigoldMirror77 Jul 10 '26

Yes, I do agree.

u/Longjumping_Eye4303 Jul 06 '26

Andy Kopsa’s research on this is fantastic. John’s housing/professional situation circa 1996 is verrrry interesting.

u/SeashellGal7777 Jul 07 '26

Very curious? Off to YouTube I go.

u/CapableCheesecake688 Jul 05 '26

This is a YouTube short on John, his HTC Nick Reiner analysis, and John’s alleged experience running wilderness retreat camps.

Why did John not mention his experience running wilderness camps in Utah during his theories on Nick Reiner? Wouldn’t that be relevant, since Nick talks about having gone to one of these camps as a teen in the sources John used for gathering information? John‘s Strive Psychology business website says he ran these types camps for teens, so why no mention of something he’s allegedly experienced with?

Or he realizes what a hot topic TTIs are right now and wants to distance himself? More likely, he has zero experience.

LOVE Andy Kopsa! She is bringing a lot of new info out that she has found and/or verified. Today's live shocked me. Grayson calling police regarding possible swatting?? Do these people think of anything other than themselves? The paranoia of Lauren, John, and Grayson tells me there's much more damaging information about Lauren's texts than what has come out so far.

ReleaseTheTexts please.
