3) To be clear, I am a total outsider to this, just making observations based on research. My concern here is to ensure our Nation is freed from undue, unelected, corrupt influence.
All opinions I express are personal.
4) The gist of this morning’s thread was that we need to have compassion for all victims, while also preserving the right of the accused to due process.
It was also a plea for simple common sense.
5) Based on everything I read and calculated up to that point, I surmised the following:
— Ford is traumatized and therefore something happened.
—Kavanaugh’s denial (& that of the other person there, Mark Judge) could be accurate, but if they were drunk, who knows?
6) But I was missing a key possibility. We must go back and examine it.
7) Right now I am watching Homeland, Season 7. Broadly it is about the tragic consequences of fake news.
8) Homeland is a show fundamentally about the CIA. It is a loving show, lovingly well researched if brutally misleading when it comes to current events in real life.
9) Last night I watched the part where Saul talks about “information warfare” and how the Russians crucified a boy in the Ukraine to ignite civil war (I may not be recalling this exactly and don’t know if this actually occurred.)
10) I sat up when I heard this and said outloud: “But the CIA has messed with countless elections overseas since World War II! Come on!”
11) The point is, Homeland is based on real life. And it is plausible that any person who has a significant impact on our country’s democratic processes is at risk of interference from a rogue intelligence cell. Domestic or not. CIA or not. Government or not.
12) And something about the #Kavanaugh accusation was bothering me.
A lot.
13) How can the alleged victim not remember what year it happened?
16) “she did not recall exactly who owned the house, how she came to be at the house, or how the gathering was arranged. She remembered only that the house was in Montgomery County, near a country club, and that parents were not present.” foxnews.com/politics/2018/…
17) “Ford told The Washington Post that the incident probably took place at a house party in the summer of 1982, when she was 15”
18) Now you could say that maybe she had a beer and as such her memory was hazy too.
19) But it doesn’t make sense to me that Professor Ford remembers the incident itself in such gripping detail—to the point where she says she literally feared Kavanaugh would KILL her—but cannot recall the year or location.
20) It would make MORE sense to me if she recalled the year and location, but not the specifics of the alleged attack.
21) I base this statement on my own run-in with a creepy rabbi in 5th grade that left me emotionally traumatized for life. I can remember the year, and the location but for the life of me I can only very barely recall the details.
When I try to focus on it, my mind blanks out.
22) They say Professor Ford passed an FBI polygraph and I believe it.
I can believe that SHE believes it.
But I have to wonder if she is experiencing a suggested memory rather than a real one.
Here’s why.
23) Kavanaugh is not denying that he knew her. But today he DOUBLED DOWN on his emphatic denial.
24) Now maybe that is just a lawyer talking, or bravado. But I watched some of his testimony and this would not be consistent with his fact-based demeanor.
By that I mean that Judge Kavanaugh kept reaching for facts about the law when questioned.
25) Here are some other oddities that tell me this story could be coached.
26) “The Washington Post received parts of the notes from that couples therapy session, which note Ford talking about an attack from “an elitist boys’ school” — but she went to Holton Arms, an elitist girl’s’ school!
27) “Ford wrote...that she has “received medical treatment regarding the assault.” —> This is a heavily published and highly respected professor who would typically say “therapy.”
36) “Christine Blasey Ford is a professor...teaches in consortium with Stanford....she has been...a research psychologist for Stanford U’s Dept of Psychiatry, and a professor at the Stanford School Of Medicine Collaborative Clinical Psychology Program.” heavy.com/news/2018/09/c…
37) “Frederick T. Melges...was an American psychiatrist and professor of psychiatry at Stanford University School of Medicine, notable for...his pioneering work on the role of distortions of time in various psychiatric disorders.
39) “How was it possible to hire a profoundly mentally-ill bag lady to travel across the country and carry out a professional assassination of a CIA banker who’d been hailed by Time magazine as “the James Bond of money?” pando.com/2015/07/15/apa…
40) “in 1975, she was discovered in a Santa Clara motel, completely nude and in a “catatonic” state. Lang was taken to Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, and put under the care of a CIA-connected Stanford psychiatry professor, Dr. Frederick T. Melges.”
41) “Lang remained under Melges’ care for over a month that we know of, and seems to have gone completely over the deep end from that point on through her hit on Deak a decade later.”
She talks about being a localization specialist because they're good at blackmail. That doesn't make any sense. Localization has to do with creating strategies that appeal to local populations. From a development perspective it is correlated with resilience. There is no magic.
In her words: "What I did was something called Localization or L-10N. So localization strategy is you find a group of people...you kind of try to get in their mind...you use that to your advantage...so if I wanna blackmail you...I will know your deepest, darkest fears"
