Hi, I'm forwarding this for Lamont Mohammed who is having email
problems, Basically he wants someone (in the US or CA) to take up his
challenge, He told me that he is will pay for the postage of the tape if
need be, He is accepting Jerry's time travel challenge as posted on his
KeelyNet and indeed when trying to get help from people they say "Why
should I bother, Jerry said that he would do it".
This needs someone from the US or CA willing to video tape them self and
send the tape, It works like this:

Lamont has the unique ability to send information back in time by
watching a video tape of the person he can send them information, this
comes in the form of a voice, He can not read the persons mind at all.
What happens is you video tape your self, while video taping you hear
Lamont give you the information, this is because the future depends on
what you intend to do now, because you intend to give lamont the tape
and lotto numbers or whatever, and because he intends to send the
information you will hear Lamont give you the information which will be
lottery numbers, When you have the numbers you buy the ticket and win,
after you have won you send the tape to Lamont with the lottery numbers
at which time he sends the information, This all sounds strange but
makes sense with a multiple time line theory, He has nothing to gain by
fooling you, he has shown that he is not a flake since he made this
offer since the end of last year.

You have very little to lose, If need be he will pay for the postage and
I will pay for the tape, If it does not work then you have only wasted a
very small amount of time, If it works then you have just won the lotto!

Now Here's Lamont:
----------------------------------

Months ago I emailed my Time Travel challenge to
Jerry and other members of Keelynet. You responded
with one email message and nothing else since. In
spite of the messages I have sent you, you have not
replied. That is certainly your right and freedom to
do so. However, I am without a clue as to why you
would post my proposal along with the curious replies
from the other thinkers at Keelynet, included in such
posts are declarations by yourself and others to
participate in my experiment.There has been much
discussion, but no action. Emailing people is not
enough, results must be produced.

If I wanted to play games with people, I would
have addressed this issue with people who are far
less serious about science than you. I expect a
standard of scientific professionalism from yourself
and the others at Keelynet. I understand from reading
through Keelynet - especially the webpages you have
dedicated towards the Time Travel challenge that I
and others have pushed some hot emotional buttons
with you. I am not happy about doing so, nevertheless
regardless of what emotional crisis a scientist
experiences his main duty is to the advancement of
the human condition via the progress in science that
can only be facillitated by activity. The activity in
question is actual experimentation to produce data.
Without experimentation to verify the interesting
proposals at Keelynet, nothing will be accomplished,
and both science and humanity will fail to benifit.
That kind of failure is below the standard, it is
unacceptable, it's like saying to the world, "yes I
am a scientist, but I just can't find the time or the
energy or the right mood to do science". Regardless
of what feelings a scientist has towards a particular
person, those feelings belong to a different
compartment of his life - the personal compartment.
In his professional compartment, the scientist in
order to be a scientist and not just a "crank" must
do the science - that means retaining an aura of
impartiality, and disregarding his emotions. I'm not
accusing you of experimenter bias, since you have not
experimented. Nor do I mean to accuse you of not
following through on your public declaration to
involve yourself on the basis of mysterious feelings
that I know nothing about. I did notice that you have
not hidden your frustration with dealing with people
who make audacious claims and refuse to back them up
with proof. I hope that this frustration is not
detering you from seeking proof from me with the
experiment. I know nothing of your work, and I am not
questioning the science that you or any of the others
at Keelynet have done. But you have promised in the
literature of Keelynet itself to retain the focus on
the science behind the brain candy. I have offered
this time travel challenge to you with the
understanding that it would be treated as a
scientific question, and examined under the rigid eye
of a scientist. I expect from you not to be
disappointed.

You have demanded proof, I am prepared to offer
it to you or anyone else that is legitimatly
interested. Will you choose to stand behind your
word, which you have publicly commited to this
enterprise ?

It was thoughtful of you to not publish my
contact info. I now request that you publish the
following contact info regarding myself :
