I think her karma is going to play out fully. You know, from her energy, I get a lot of someone who has taken pleasure and harming others to crack the heart and and to start healing some of those sinister issues and traumas that you know have caused her to scam others. So you think there was some sinister issue. Yes, I'm Jonathan Walton, and this is a bonus episode of Queen of the Con where I interview the man who's really responsible for bringing Mayor Smith to justice. It's episode nine.
Buddha Noah knows best f y. I. As soon as Buddha no and I start talking, dozens of birds show up out of nowhere and start chirping. I take it as a sign from God that I'm in the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing. Or Mayor centre minions to try to ruin this interview. You be the judge I am sitting here today with the man who is singularly responsible for getting Mayor Smith arrested, charged, convicted, and sentenced to five years in jail. Buddha Noah, thank
you so much for joining me today. It is a great honor and a privilege to speak to you absolutely, and wow, what I'm just listening to that? That's a lot. That day I called you in distress and I was hoping. I was I wanted to walk away. I was hoping you told me to walk away. I was looking for that. But I know the universe set you to me because I'm a troublemaker, you know, as an intuitive but trouble for good. You know. I love to use intuition as a way to help people. So this was a perfect
opportunity when you came to me. I had reached a point where I was going to give up. I was seven months into my investigation and nothing was happening. I was calling police every day and they weren't filing charges. I was finding a ton of other victims. I was reporting them to the police, and the police would tell me they have nothing to do with my case. This doesn't help my case. Stop calling. I was annoying them,
you know. And my husband and I were fighting over my obsession to bring Mayor Smith to justice and getting nowhere. It was taking a heavy toll in my mental health, and he begged me over and over again, you gotta let this go. So I was ready to give up. I just needed a sign. And I was watching television and I saw somebody talk about a spiritual advisor, and I thought, Ah, that's what I need. I need a
spiritual advisor. So I googled spiritual Advisor Los Angeles and came upon your YELP page, Buddha Noah, and you had like tons and tons of five star reviews. And I called you to make an appointment, and you had like a long waiting list. I had to wait almost a month to speak to you. But my god, I'm glad I did because when I got on the phone with you and explained my dire predicament, and I was getting nowhere fast, and I wanted to give up, and I'm
ready to walk away. Please tell me that's the right thing to do. Please tell me I should walk away. Please tell me to let it go, tell me it's time. But instead you said no way. You implored me not to give up. You said you see her getting arrested. You said you see her getting charged with scamming me. You said you see her going to trial and getting
convicted and going to jail. It's just amazing that firstly, that justice partly or holy has been served that's exciting because you know a lot of people were hurt in this situation. So firstly, that's where my heart goes is great justice in some way was served to the best of the universe's ability. For whatever reason. You know, she got the time that she got, But you warned me it's not going to be for as long as I Like you told me. You see me on television telling
my story. You filled me with a renewed sense of hope and optimism and gave me the will to keep fighting. When I was at the end of my rope, I was I was going to give up, And by God, every single thing you said that day came to pass. Five months after I spoke to you, she was charged and arrested for scamming me, and then ten months after that she was tried and convicted and sentenced to five years in jail, not as long as I wanted, and
certainly now because of COVID she got out early. So my question to you is, first, thank you, and second, how did you see all those things months before they happened? How? What? What are you plugged into? Budunoah, Honestly, I felt it right away. I felt right away. No, no, no, no, no, this story is going to play out in a positive for you as a victim and for the other victims. Honestly,
as an intuitive, it's just energy. So I get a hit, and I've had to learn to trust set through my own life circumstances so much so that now other people can trust me with the hits of energy I get with. You know, some of life's questions. You get a hit? What is that? What does that feel like? Like? A knowing it is? You know? I deal with a lot of people with stress and anxiety, and what I've learned
is that anxiety is a lot like psychic intuition. Um, you feel it in your body, something starts to feel uncomfortable or not quite right, and I've learned how to really just tune into what is the feeling trying to show me or tell me, so it's information. I kind of just slow down and feel in and working with a lot of people over the years, it's just become kind of automatic. So when you came to me, there wasn't really any question. I had no doubt in my mind.
I could see the energy of you were going to be victorious. That was It wasn't a percentage of yet supercentative it was, and I think it was her karma. I think it was genuinely me picking up on the person's karma, was telling me this is a path she's going down, Yeah, more than anything else. And it's funny you say that because one of the things you told me is and you I didn't give you her name so you couldn't have googled her. I even used the
fake name when I called you. I didn't want you to know I'm a TV producer because you could google my name. But at that point, like my story was now there only the fact that I'm a TV producer working, but the fact that I got con wasn't out there. So I intentionally I wanted to blind you from all that in case. You know, I'm suspicious of everyone. But you told me, you asked me, is she's she's psychic. She's very gifted, And I'm like, yes, she is. I've
witnessed her read people. She has a psychic business where she's like reading people and scamming people. How did how did you feel her that she was a psychic? Like that's another thing you just yes, you know, It's it's kind of like takes one to no one. Um So, I definitely when I feel that someone else is intuitive, it's it's very much you can feel this person is kind of like me. They maybe use their intuition or whether it's charisma or whether it's just connecting to people.
I could feel she was using that skill. Um So that's probably where that came from. But you know, and going back and watching the con I had real feelings about her being a psychic because you know, it takes a lot for an intuitive who's trying to do good to build up credibility and a positive reputation. So you know, when I say justice was served, it's there's a lot of people as intuitives that want to do good, that want to help people, like in this situation, um ed,
she was out here hurting people. So there's a part of me that was that can understand maybe why the universe put me on the case a little bit. Yes, No, absolutely, I feel that way too. You know when it when when I got conned, I felt God was punishing me. But as the months went on and I did what I did, and I started finding all these victims, and I stopped her from scamming Bob's to homes, from him, and you know, I felt like, oh, I think God chose me to do this, Like I meant, no one
stopped her. She's gone her whole life forty plus years at that point, scamming people unabated. The minute she's found out, she just moves to another town and starts a whole other identity and starts scamming people all over again. And you know, I felt like God chose me, like the bucks stopped with me. And you absolutely because without you, I would have given up. It might have been a little bit of a rag tag team. You know, absolutely chose absolutely without why we connect, We connect so well,
you know, authentically. But it's so interesting because I'd also read something that you've said and just you know, after you've shared with me that justice had indeed been served. As I was going back, I think I was on your website or somewhere, and I'm on my website, yes, because I really, you know, I cared about what was
going on and what a story you know. Um, but yes, you had said little did she know that she picked the wrong person, And you were the perfect person with who you are, how diligent you are, your own value for justice in doing the right thing. Yeah, it had to be someone who was willing to go the distance and you know, go through some of the pain you went through with your family, with your partner, Yeah, and just trying to stay in this because everybody was watching
you struggle. So I'm glad when I got that hit. I'm glad you trusted that. Yes, Oh my god, I'm glad we spoke, and I'm glad you're you're talking to me today. So the thing that I've noticed, because you're a psychic, so maybe you can speak on this. I've interviewed dozens of her victims, who are clients who were seeing Hair as a psychic. She would always start out legitimately she could read strangers, but I noticed when she got to know people, she couldn't read them anymore. She
only could read strangers. I witnessed her bring strangers to tears, and a lot of the victims I interviewed, who you know, don't want to be part of the podcast, but told me what happened, say that the readings eventually were just so off. They started on point amazing. She can pick stuff out of the air, and then she couldn't. Is
that a things? Yes, I I totally understand from my experience, you know, you have to step back as an intuitive, as a reader professionally, it's actually easier to read people you don't know, like a cold reading is a thing for a reason, because you're able to use your skills of looking at a person, feeling at a person. Most people can do a cold reading. They just don't know, so they don't try. But as you get to know someone, you know their desire for substance in the reading becomes greater.
They actually expect deeper. So if you're not truly skilled in your intuition, or you haven't trained, or you aren't authentically trying to help, if you're not authentically trying to help, which she was not authentically trying to help, she was just shaking people down for money, because it's not Actually cold reading is a human skill. It's a skill that you can learn. You know, even FBI, you know training, they teach you body language, they teach you how to
read if someone's lying. Cold reading is a skill. But for psychics, intuitive mediums, you know, in religion, in church they call them profits. The sense comes with a need, So there has to be a need present for you to be able to channel for a person you had
a real need when you came to me. But there's there are people that come to me where stuff is so superficial I don't even get a hit because they're bringing absolutely and an authentic intuitive might even say that, you know what, I'm not the right person to be involved with this, or this isn't my particular area of
intuitive expertise for me. Relationships, people, purpose, destiny, that's a lot of what your situation was about your destiny, your purpose in this, her destiny, her karma in this as a con artist. So I think that's again the universe choosing the right person maybe to to help with my
specific skill set and your specific passion for this. And it's funny, had I not heard the raise spiritual advice like it, would you know suddenly like yes, that's what I need, you spiritual Like I didn't even know I was. You know, It's like I I didn't even always looking for you when I was looking for you, But my god, um, I just got chills. So intention is everything. If people come to you with a superficial should I am I
going to get curls later or something dumb? That's not something you can tune into but if it's something super important in their lives, it pings in your brains as right. And you'd mentioned everyone has some kind of intuition, and that pings with me because there have been so many moments in my life since I was a kid, almost defining moments where I averted disaster because something told me.
You know, I remember, I'm seventeen years old driving my brother and my cousins to a Mariah Carey concert going south in Miami, and it's pitch black they during construction. I can't really see, but something told me just shift
over to the middle lane. And as soon as I shifted over to the middle lane, a giant bus that was broken down no lights was right there and everyone in the car thought I moved to avoid the bus, but I'm like, no, I just I just changed lanes and a s I don't know why I changed lanes. I just I avoided that. Like I've had so many moments like that in my life where I have a knowing. Something was like telling me, I'm like getting information from
the universe. And see that for me, as someone who I do readings pretty much every day of my life, I have learned through my own experience and through supporting others. That's how we should be living life. You know. We want our brains to do so much of the work and figuring out even just our day to day movements, that we aren't listening to those subtle messages and subtle cues of the heart, of the mind, even of our gut. You know, when your gut is telling you, uh, don't
go there. So it is as much about listening to your body as much as is about taking an infra nation from the outside and making judgments. So, yes, everybody is intuitive, but some people are born with that heightened sense, just like some kids are born really tall and they become basketball players. Some are born with higher intuition and they become healers and intuitive. So yeah, we're useful. You know. Even the CIA was using psychics, you know, and maybe
still is. Oh no, they absolutely are there. That's a whole another problem, but that h different police agency psychic missing people. But the problem is there's so many frauds and they ruin it for the good. Yes, they ruin it for you guys. The frauds like Smith, Well, it's it's very much like a mechanic. If you don't know about cars, and your car breaks down and you take it to a mechanic, you're trusting what that mechanic is saying.
You go to an intuitive, that intuitive is either gonna, you know, charge you a lot more because you're naive, or you know, you have a strong sense of self, a good understanding of people, and you just want their honest, intuitive opinion. So you're going to be treated fairly and with respect. There are some car mechanics out there are gonna scam you, and there's some they're going to give you the hundred fifty oil Chaine and tune up that you need and that's it and let you go on
your way. And you know, I tend to be one of those. Sure, I listen, you, you saved me. You you put her in jail. I'll say that again. Without you, that day, I would I was giving up everyone. I mean, imagine, if you're me, everyone in your life is telling you something people you love and it's destroying mental health. I'm like obsessed and I can't sleep and the quality of my life is suffering and people are suffering around me, and I gotta stop. And I was ready to stop,
like you, you know, without you, she'd be out. She'd a scamped Bob's two homes for sure. For sure. My next question is, what's the meaning of life? Like? You're plugged in right? What are we doing here? I mean, if for all the atheists listening, what's what's your take on? What's life about? What's it all about? What a question? What an opportunity to just talk about it? Yeah? Because well, I mean to figure you you're clearly at a different level and plugged into some kind of knowledge that I
am not. Well, I appreciate your confidence in me. Um, what are we doing here? I mean, I know what I'm doing here, you know, I'm actually just trying to enjoy this world and this planet. I think that everyone is born in a different position in the race of life. Some people are born on the inside of the track. Some people are born outside and they look a little
farther ahead on the track. But I tend to believe that we're all here to tune into those subtle lessons, that nature, that feelings, emotions, that art, that creativity that life gives us, our challenges give us. Um, I think we're here to observe and study, and I think that we're all just vessels taking an information and I think that when we die, that information goes somewhere, UM. But I think we also try to pass that on to our families and our friends, very much like this podcast.
I'm here because I want to pass on the information. Right. Everybody has intuition. If you're someone who has been scammed, right, or if you're someone who has been through pain before and you're having a hard time trusting people, even you can listen to your intuition. And whenever we are hurt or taken advantage of her scammed by someone, I think it's the universe saying, slowdown, there's something to learn here.
Feel into your own value and maybe invest in yourself there there's I think that there is a lesson for people who go through major heartache with scam, especially with financial loss. I think the universe is trying to get you to see your own value, um and to really review that and trust in that. Because you know it takes personal investment in self to get back on the horse and get back out there. I know that you can relate to that. Yeah. Absolutely. The other thing that
I've learned is you don't know. Sometimes bad things happen to you, but they push you in a better direction, and the years go by, you're like, thank God that bad thing happened, because look who I am now. You know, there's so many examples in my life and my friend's life, in my family's lives. So when something bad happened, if you get scammed or whatever, wait and see see what that's going to force you to do. Because sometimes you've
got to be forced. All the world is a stage, right, So when you get a scene that is particularly spicy or juicy, you know it's an opportunity to rise and play the character that life is asking you to play. So, yeah, there's a part of you that has to fight back in the way that feels most appropriate to you. Can you live with your fight? That would be my question. Yeah, yeah, and I know you can because look at what we've done. That's what how I mean. I'm grateful, you know, and
I've said this. I was being interviewed and they asked me, have you forgiven her? And I absolutely I have forgiven her because I hold no ill will towards her other than I don't want her scamming other people. I understand she is what she is. You know, It's like it's nothing personal. She executed her skills to the best of her ability. So I guess we had to execute our skills to the best of That was us playing the
game of life. I was an unknowing participant, but there there was something about my own energy that pulled me into this. And that's why I say it's an honor, because I got to use my skills for good, you know, And that's that's what matters most. Yes, And and that's one of the reasons I don't I don't hate her, and I'm grateful she scammed me in the end because look what it turned me into. You know, I have helped and am helping so many people because of what happened.
They've reached out to me, and I can't not help them because I've been through what I've been through, and I can I know I have inside info and how this system works. And what are the phrases to tell police to get them involved in What are the phrase? You know, it's unless you go to law school, you don't know. How was that for you? That had to be you know, of course frustrating. What was that intimidating
at all? In trying to actually plan an equal playing field, get them to listen to you and really look at what was happening. Well, you know what, it's my skills as a TV producer that came to my rescue because I'm a quick study and have to be. When you're producing TV shows, you've got to be an expert. A new show is a new opportunity to be an expert or a a new set of things. So I quickly realized, all right, what do I have to learn to figure
this out? And the minute the cop told me, well, there's no crime because you gave her the money, I started listing all the instances where that's not true, like the I R S scammers when they scammed the elderly, They elderly give them the money, but it's still a crime. And the cop had to think and like, you know, yeah, you're right, because the low level cops don't know the intricacies of you know, grand theft by inducement. That's the
word inducement. And acting in reliance on is another phrase you have to use if you're writing a police report or an affidavit. I acted in reliance on her statement. This is huge because, as you said, so many people get away with these crimes because there is a complex. You know, you had to stay on this, you had to learn and that's intimidating for victims who are just exhausted by what they've gone through. Oh yeah, I know. Listen, if I didn't call every day, I would have gotten nowhere.
You have to nag the f out of them or do anything, because because there was a pile of case is, and there's a pile of dead bodies and so many other more serious crimes that unless you make the noise they're they're not going to get back to you or care about it. But yeah, it's you know, live and learn. So you mentioned earlier you have insight into Mayor Smith.
I'll update you. Because of COVID, she was released early and when she was released, Northern Ireland was on COVID lockdown, so that whole extradition plan that was in place is on pause because you know, she's a non violent offender. She is not a priority for them. So what do you where do you see her right now? What do you think she's feeling and thinking? What? You know? I think her karma is going to play out fully. You know from her energy, I get a lot of someone
who has taken pleasure and harming others. There's a part of her character and her personality is just wired this way. So I feel her karma is actually trying to help um reprogram her. So she has to have consequences in order for that to have any possibility of occurring, to crack the heart and and to start healing some of those sinister issues and traumas that you know have caused
her to scam others. There was some sinister issue. Yes, there's a lack to to take from others when you have all the skills to earn as a high earner and be very successful on your own. Obviously very intelligent, very capable. There was a thrill and a pleasure of using the skill of manipulation of storytelling. So there's a part of her life that wasn't fulfilled. I definitely think she's an actress. I think that she enjoys the theater
of life. She does. Yes, she would cry because her her family is trying to destroy her, and she'd cry and it's so real. And now I know none of that was real, you know, I honestly feel that, and I hate to say this, but I do believe that the money and taking from people was more just a consequent of her playing theater. She needed money to fund her different scenes and the things that she the stories she wanted to tell. She just needed capital to get
all the props in place. And so I think anyone can look at that situation and maybe start to look at human beings and understand we're all playing a role in a character, but some of us just don't have any intention of harming others in the in the play
that we're playing out. Yeah, I think you nailed it because and speaking to all of the victims of her as I've spoken to, that is an underlying theme that the theatrics of everything, and she would have victims mingling with one another people she's told different stories too, and she could get caught at any second. We could volunteer something that doesn't gell. But I think she got off of that. Yes, there is a high that comes from that.
There's a high from fulfilling the con the play. The scene played out the way that she wanted and she didn't get caught. It's it's almost like she's the ghost character. We don't really know who she is, but she is manipulating, pulling strings and making things happen. So you know, I have to give her intelligence and some of the mastermind ability there, you know, acknowledgement, but we want that for good. There there's a lot going on we could use Mayor
for good. And I hope her, you know, just from my place in the world, my perspective, I do hope that the consequences do help crack her open and shift her consciousness to maybe use her skills for good. Wishful thinking maybe, but I hope that you hope that what do you see? Is she going to get extradited. I do feel that she's going to get extradited. I do feel that again, more consequences are coming, more full consequences. But unfortunately, I think the universe is working with her
a little bit. Just from my place of awareness, um, I think her in the universe are trying to figure things out. And you know, she's not someone that's going to give up easily. So even if she never scams another pair sin, I think she's always going to be highly creative and uh and trying to build something. So everyone watch out for wood Mayor is going to build in the future. We'll see. Right when you were speaking, I got an impression. So I'll just share it because
it's relevant, especially based on what we talked about. You said, I think they're going to extradite her, but I think the universe I think so too, meaning yes, she'll get extradited, but will that lead to anything. Should have a chance for redemption. And the reason why is because I in my experience, people that are highly gifted, highly intelligent, they are here to fulfill a purpose with those skills. She
has not fulfilled that purpose. So I do believe in my experience, the universe will give you another opportunity to see if you go left or right now. I think why you're so valuable is you're giving people an opportunity to not be harmed by her in the future. And so we do want this information to get out there because you know, she wanted the stage and she'll have it.
She'll have it again. She'll have an opportunity to play a good character or a bad character, and I think everyone just has to step back and let her do her thing. In the game of life, it's it's often not what we want, but we all are given a pretty fair opportunity in different ways, in different stages to experience our greatness. I just don't think she had any positive influence to experience positive greatness. I think the universe will throw her a bone and give her a chance
to do the right thing. But if she doesn't, I think the consequences will be much worse than this time. That's good to hear. I mean, you know, if I just want to keep her out of the public's way, because she's good and she seems like she wants to help people, and that's how she comes across. That's why everyone loves her, because she seems so kind and giving him helpful. But it was to a nefarious means, and pretending to help requires a lot less actual hard work.
It requires a lot less sweat equity to really sacrifice to help people. So you know, I think she wanted it. Maybe she just didn't have the strength the courage to do the real work. And the last thing I want to ask you before we lock up shop is a lot of people, my friends, my family, now that she's out, they're scared for me. Aren't she scared? She's going to
come after you? They say? And this, And before I let you answer, what you see, I'm not scared because if you were her, would you want to go near me? And technically, California is a three strike state. That means she's already convicted of two felonies, one from the Pacific Islands, two grand one for scamming me. A third felony conviction would mean she'd get at least a twenty five year sentence automatic. And that's exactly what I mean by she
will find opportunity in this world. She will sniff it out, and you know, she will have an opportunity to either do good with what's presented to her, or to do harm or to take advantage. Um that may be the third strike. So you know, we'll let her carmou be what it is through her own creative choices. But should you be afraid, like he said, absolutely not. I see it as a bit bull in the spirit, you know,
for good, thank you. We don't want to get bit by the bit well as we now know, don't arrest him. I mean, there's part of me is like I hope she does something so I'll be on her again like white on rice. And because you've found a little bit of your new skin right as and you've grown so much in this process. So yeah, people should watch out
for you. Jonathan, Thank you, Thank you, boy, it has been an honor and enlightening speaking to you, and you know, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for for calming me down that day and for redirecting me because I was I wanted you to tell me, yes, you can let it go, be at peace. But now you said you're gonna win. That's literally what you said, You're gonna win, and gosh darn it, I did well.
It's it's been my pleasure to be a background team member and this effort to have just to serve for the victims. Um, it's an honor and it's a pleasure. Yes. And for those of you listening, even though you live in Los Angeles, you take calls from all over the world, right, So if you google Buddha Noah, you're like the first seven search results. Yes, and you know I'm not on social media. I am definitely in my hermit energy and I would be completely open to taking phone calls or
zoom calls or face times or skypes. So yes, google me, you will find my yell page Los Angeles Budda Noah, and I would be happy to support anyone that needs a reading, very much like you did that day. Any life questions that come up, relationship questions, destiny purpose, um, I'd be happy to tune in and help anyone that needs it. And it was a phone call I had with you. I never met you. I'm only face to face with you now, but at the time it was a phone call. And so for people thinking, well, can
he be accurate over the phone? Absolutely yes. Energy is energy and I'll be prepared if we get on the phone, if we get you know, even if we're not on video, the energy is absolutely able to be read. And I want everyone listening to really consider that practicing your own intuitive energy or maybe if you've never had a reading, try it. You never know what you're going to get out.
