Scott Falater: Truth teller or liar?

Did you catch ABC’s 20/20 this past weekend? They told the story of a Scott Falater who murdered his wife, but claimed no memory of it. As the story evolved, his family came to the conclusion he must have been sleepwalking. Scott, in his confusion, seemed to agree with them.

It’s highly likely many of you rolled your eyes at such a claim, right? I mean kill someone in their sleep while sleepwalking? That’s nuts.

But could it happen?

Would you believe it possible?

Did you believe it happened?

I actually was an active sleep-walking child into my adolescence. It was chronic for me. I did it many, many times. One time I even got dressed and ready to go babysit after a nap, and woke up holding the phone on the other side of our house in the kitchen. I was so confused as my father was standing there annoyed with me, telling me I was belligerent with my mom on the phone.

Belligerent? What was I doing and saying? I truly had no idea.

I had no memory of getting up, getting dressed, answering the phone or moving around the house, let alone talking to my mom and being grumpy and agitated. It was stunning and shocking to hear these stories of me doing things I had no conscious recollection about! I had dozens of stories told to me about the crazy things I did when asleep. If anyone could understand this, I would say it would be me.

People can do weird things in their sleep that we don’t know or understand.

And I did things I wouldn’t do in my awake life.

One time I was away at a camp in junior high school. I was in 7th grade. The 8th grade group slept in another area and they were, you know above us. No one dared pull anything on them. We were somewhat intimidated by them. You remember those days, right?

Well, I guess in the middle of the night I walked into their room where there were a dozen bunkbeds, turned on the light and said “Hey guys!” My best friend knew I slept walk and realized I was gone and got me and put me back to bed! I had no idea. I had made quite a stir and became this oddity among them. Did you hear what Renee did?

Again, I had no idea I did any of it. I just had to watch these people tell me in disbelief what I did, and realize it probably true.

While watching this story of Scott Falater on 20/20, it appears this story is a true mystery to many people.

But I do believe this show gave us a very clear answer as to what the truth is in this case.

Did you see it?

Chris Krebs on 60 Minutes

Did you catch 60 Minutes this past weekend, and catch the interview of Chris Krebs? If you didn’t, it’s well worth watching.

Krebs talks about the security of our last election and clearly states that by coming forward if he can help one person confirm or reinforce that this election was secure, then he feels he did his job.

Krebs is absolutely honest in responses to Mike Pelley throughout this interview and I have no doubt this election, as Kreb’s put it was “…the most secure in American history.”

We know from all the information in 2016 that election was NOT secure, and I believe there have been weaknesses in our system for decades that Kreb’s shored up being in charge of the new Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

I have great respect for Krebs speaking up and defending the truth as well as our democracy against Donald Trump’s incessant and pathological lies. He knew by speaking out against Trump, he would be retaliated against, and he was. But he put his country over supporting a pathological liar who only cares about himself.

I have been very quiet on this blog for a long time, part of it has been due to illness (not COVID), but the other reason is because it has been very difficult to watch our country struggle to see the truth on a large scale. Many people in the country were lost to dark influences which had great emotional bias and pull, and no effort on my part could fix it. I could see it was hopeless as I tried behind the scenes with no success. We had a master manipulator trying to gain much more control than people realized.

As someone who trains people to see the truth to see so many people derailed by their emotions was a difficult place to be. I can see how democracies fall. We got a good lesson as we teetered. The lies being told were on such a grand scale it was mind-blowing. But thankfully, and finally, enough people stood up and stood for our country that I have hope again!

H.R. McMaster on 60 Minutes

If you didn’t catch the 60 Minutes segment with H.R. McMaster, Trump’s former national security advisor, this past weekend–I highly recommend you take time to watch it.

H.R. McMaster very open, honest, sincere and forthright with you about the threats against America right now. I think all Americans need to hear his message.

When you watch McMaster, you get a sense of his intelligence.

In the interview he says, “I think what Americans need today is we need– we need a discussion. A meaningful– a respectful discussion about these very serious challenges to our security, our prosperity, and our influence in the world.”

I couldn’t agree more.

He addresses topics such as China, Russia and Putin, as well as the Iraq and Afghan wars. He also talks about the Taliban and how they are today eons more advanced then they were on September 11, 2001.

He talks about climate change, and the pandemic as well. All things we all should hear. His messages are important. He demonstrates how leadership should behave.

It’s a shame he wasn’t able to stay in the White House longer to give more advice, but frankly as 48 Hours puts it, “McMaster would brief to the limits of Mr. Trump’s attention, then watch him shoot from the hip (source).”

I personally think Trump and others in the White House were threatened by a very accomplished man.

The sheer amount of people who have come out of the White House after working with Trump, and have told of stories of Trump that support what we see on the outside should be highly affirmative as to who is telling the truth here and who is not.

When one man points his finger at everyone who leaves and blames them, but all of them are pointing their finger back to him with very logical arguments — you know who the problem is

Mary Trump: Jaded or Honest?

Mary Trump, the niece of Donald Trump, recently released a family tell-all book last week titled Too Much and Never Enough. Perhaps you’ve already read it?

While I haven’t read the book, I have watched three interviews of Mary talk about the book and her family.

I think most people who are not emotionally biased in the political arena will see Mary Trump for who she is: She is an honest, forthright and genuine person telling you what she knows about her family and the current President in office in the U.S.A.

I do not see a jaded woman out to punish her family or seek revenge. I see a woman who is truly worried about the depth of character flaw, and danger of a man leading our country.

She is a trained clinical psychologist and has real understanding of dangerous personalities, which should give her credibility to those who have questions.

More than that, she is by far not the only psychologist who has suggested this. There are hundreds of other psychologists and psychiatrists who have come out and spoken about the concerns they have about Donald Trump’s mental health. I link to only one reference above. There are many.

Mary Trump calls her grandfather, and Donald Trump’s father, a sociopath.

And as for Donald Trump, she says he displays all nine signs for the diagnosis of narcissism, but he also shows signs of antisocial personality disorder (aka sociopathy). She calls his pathologies “complex” and suggests there may be learning disabilities at play as well, which many of us have questioned in his inability to process information.

I think Mary Trump is quite amazing to see her highly malignant and dysfunctional family as they truly are. Most people are not able to see the toxicity in their own family as Mary has here. I think she is one strong woman to come out and share this at a time in history when we need this most.

Do you believe Mary Trump?
