Stolen Valor

 

I doubt Hubbard is actually taking credit for inventing the gematria calculator.  His GEN site has “a” calculator.

But when people refer to “the” calculator it is usually the Gematrinator calculator that is being referenced.  And there are others out there, doing the same basic thing which is changing the alphabet into numbers to simplify the process so you wouldn’t have to use a handheld calculator or paper and pencil.

Important intellectual property is jealously guarded with lawsuits for infringement being the go to recourse.  And the odds that Derek or Zach will even bother correcting this goof are pretty slim, much less hiring a lawyer to sort through who did what and has what rights and what damages are  to be awarded.

Stolen valor has been in the election news recently as JD Vance has taken public potshots at Walz’s military record.

But actually, this isn’t about either taking credit for calculator creation or VP nominee military service records.  It’s about the Letters and Numbers book itself.  And the old story covered here long ago when it was first being written.  Zach took credit for reviews that are clearly not genuine.  And the old posts here have the receipts - the screenshots that prove it.

It went down something like this.  Before completely solidifying himself as the top name associated with sports gematria on social media Zach put in a lot of effort into shameless self marketing.  When the idea to invest effort into a book came up he turned it into an interactive experience.  The at that time current group of clueless decoders (long gone now) were asked to throw in their input into cover designs and content.  So updating them, Zach would offer preliminary drafts to see what was looking good.  Like filming alternate endings for test audiences.

The “draft” product of the book was displayed.  Complete with reviews on the cover.  Glowing reviews talking about the life altering material within the pages.  Glowing reviews before the book was ever published or released.

I will have to check sometime to find out if it is the exact same reviews as displayed on this tweet from yesterday.  Regardless of the outcome of that, it takes a lot of balls to blatantly lie about nonexistent reviews on a book that talks about media lies right above it in the cover.

And although that information has been available here for a long time, people still miss out and gamble off his pay to play sports prediction.

The stolen valor is the age old copying of what worked for other grifters in the past.
