Jury Voted to Indicts Ramseys: DA Refused

I had no idea that a D.A. could reject a grand jury indictment.  This absolutely blows my mind!  You would think that when multiple minds see something, the mind of one should not be allowed to overrule it, wouldn’t you?  It seems like a protection in the system to prevent payoffs and manipulation.

While I see in this news report that this made the news in Boulder, Colorado, did you ever hear about this?  I certainly didn’t. Did it ever made it on the national scale, or did I miss it? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Do you believe the Ramseys were truthful?

I have not believed the Ramseys from day one.

By the way, did you catch Anderson Copper yesterday?  On his show he said that John Ramsey was dead. I think the meant to say John Ramsey’s attorney was dead. Oops.

Travis Tygart Speaks the Truth About Lance Armstrong

As an expert in deception, there is nothing more cathartic than hearing someone who has the guts to set the record straight and speak the truth–especially when they’ve been threatened as I believe Tygart has been.

He spoke candidly and openly why you shouldn’t believe Armstrong and I commend him for coming forward as it was not an easy thing to do.  I feel for Tygart because speaking out against the uber-rich doesn’t usually come without consequences when they have the power to make you pay, as it is clear Lance has done to others many times over.

When athletes get so wealthy and have such incredible earning power, don’t fool yourself folks, they have an incredible edge to push boundaries, avoid consequences and get things done that ordinary people can’t. They have the power to make things “go away”.  While I think many things are kept hidden far more than we’ll ever know, I don’t think any were as brazen at Lance Armstrong.

Isn’t it interesting how Lance Armstrong told us in his interview with Oprah how he didn’t feel he deserved a lifetime ban from cycling (aka “the death penalty), but he refuses to play by the rules like everyone else and confess under oath the truth?  No, he wants an exception again!  

Thank you Travis Tygart for having the guts, conviction and courage to stand on the truth.

Manti Te’o’s Many Smiles

When you think of what Manti Te’o allegedly experienced, its pretty easy to understand the emotions one would feel in his situation, if they were duped as he said he was.  You’d experience a lack of trust, self-doubt, and some pretty intense humiliation for falling for such a stun for so long.  You’d feel sadness and anger that the one you thought you “loved” and “mourned” never really existed.  You’d feel completely insecure and likely would have problems talking to people admitting how foolish you were. 

But oddly, Te’o seems to experience NONE of these emotions.

Watch his interview with Katie Couric with the volume off and tell me if you see any of these emotions…

I took some screenshots randomly through his interview. I think you’ll find them quite telling about how Te’o really feels about all of this…

Faces don’t lie! 

It’s a little shocking, isn’t it?  He sure looks like a victim of a sick, twisted hoax.  NOT! 

I’m amazed at how he is “protecting” his perpetrator, too. If you notice he doesn’t say anything negative about him at all nor does he ask any tough question, or demand he come out and speak the truth.  Hmmm…I wonder why?

Statement Analysis of Manti Te’o

I could literally write a book on the hotspots of Manti Te’o.  Here are a couple of my favorite ones. It’s Manti talking to Katie Couric yesterday.  Katie Couric said, “Was this intoxicating for you, in a way, Manti? 
Manti replied, “I think, for me, the only thing that I basked in was that I had an impact on people; that people turned to me for inspiration. And I think that was the only thing I focused on.”  
He continued…
 
My story, I felt, was… a guy who…. in times of hardship and in times of trial, um, really held strong to his faith, held strong to his family, and I felt that was my story.
What is so interesting about this statement is that he talks about his life as a “story”.  A story is usually a tale, or plot.
Notice how he doesn’t talk in first person about himself.  He suddenly is a character:  A guy, not “me” or “I”. Who talks like this about themselves? This is highly unusual by itself.
Isn’t it odd how he sums up everything that happened to him so easily after being through so much trauma?  Most people can do that after what he’s been through, but he sure can see clearly, can’t he?  It’s his plot:  “a guy who in times of hardship and in times of trial, held strong to his faith…and family.”
Is that what his story is really about, or was that what he was “selling” us?  If I didn’t know any better, I’d have no idea that he was a man who was scammed by one of the most embarrassing scams of a lifetime: a man impersonating a woman and he falls for it and in love, and he doesn’t even rank that? It’s laughable, if one is to believe this is true! 
 
Can you hear the script?    
 
It’s mind-blowing.  Think it is a fluke? 
 
Here is another one:

 

To ESPN, Te’o says about his dad:  
“I kind of tailored my storiesto have people think that yeah, hemet her before she passed away so people wouldn’t think I was some crazy dude.”   
 
“He” being “Te’o”.  There he goes again talking about stories and characters!!!  Clearly, Te’o knows how to use first person just fine when it comes to real experiences — when people might think “I was some crazy dude.”
 
I could go on and on and on…  

 

Some of my thoughts on Manti Te’o

Before Manti ever spoke out on Katie Couric, he was a known liar and he admitted as much.  Not only did he lie once, he did it repeatedly.  According to ABC and CNN, he did three interviews after knowing the truth where he continued to perpetuate the lie voluntarily–where he continued to support his perpetrator in their game against him instead of calling him out or at least remaining silent in an attempt to coverup what happened.  It defies logic.

The first time was on December 8, 2012. The second one was December 11 (a newspaper interview which I have not located according to ABC news), and the last was with the New York Post on December 30  (scroll down to see quote).

Why would Manti, if he was legitimately duped by a scammer, continue to talk about the scam as if it never happened?  He is in essence supporting the perpetrator by doing this!

Manti never tells us that he was in denial about what happened.  He said he was confused, but if he was confused, why didn’t he demand answers from the perpetrator and/or keep silent until he figured it all out?  That is what honest people would do.

No, instead Manti does something that makes no sense –he keeps volunteering to talk about the fictitious person Lennay who he knew didn’t exist.  Honest people who were victims of this “story” Manti wants us to believe he was a victim of would never do this. Ever. It’s absolutely mind-insulting rubbish!  When we are embarrassed, we stop talking and we retreat. We don’t keep furthering the lie we’ve been told because it is flat out too painful.

This story isn’t just a story of a man who falls for a woman on internet, she dies and he finds out she is alive.
Oh no, its much more grandiose than that.  A man falls madly in love for a woman who he NEVER MEETS, she gets into a car accident and nearly dies, but he NEVER cares enough to go see her ever, and offers every excuse under the sun as to why they couldn’t arrange to meet (and they aren’t even logical reasons). Then she gets cancer.  Yeah, really! And then goes into a COMA–amazingly horrible luck, wouldn’t you say, and she miraculously comes out of he coma when he is talking to her on the phone (WHAT ARE THE ODDS?), and she then gets sent home from the hospital.  She leaves him a voice message that day, all feminine and sweet and sounding in good health (but oh don’t forget she is a man), and then, oops, she dies overnight unexpectedly.

You’d think that was quite a story, wouldn’t you?  But oh no, that is not the half of it. SHE actually calls him back and says SHE is alive.  That is huge, but finding out you weren’t in love with a woman BUT A MAN, wouldn’t that be equally or even more DEVASTATING?

If you notice, however, Manti never talks about his conversation with the GUY who duped him. He conveniently forgets that. He talks about HER calling him back saying she was alive but nothing else.  Yes, he conveniently forgets so many things, I could write a novel about this twisted individual. He has no memory of any actual conversations. He only recollects concepts and not conversations.

If people were to put themselves in Manti’s shoes and buy his “story” which is all it is, they would see that few people would come out unscathed and smiling like Manti. No, if we were duped for months by someone like Manti was, a normal honest person would come out seriously affected and likely emotionally damaged. They would have a horrible time trusting people again. They would feel outrageously and off-the-charts stupid and dumb. They would have no self-esteem to even be seen in public let alone talk about it. To simply say the word “Lennay” would be so painful it would bring people to dripping tears, if not even suicidal. But not Manti. He is always the exception time and time again, and when we see this many exceptions, the chances that this is a sick out-of-control lie skyrocket, folks, and we are on the moon already.

Imagine you were just told you won the lottery in an email and you believed it.  You tell the world that you have won a million bucks.  You get so happy, feel so good and then boom, you find out it was a scam. You didn’t win anything.  You were taken by an Algerian scam.  Are you going to go on TV and do interviews about other things AND bring up how you are still a winner?  Clearly you can see the insanity of this!  Of course you wouldn’t, if you were honest! If you were part of the scam, well, you might just keep perpetuating the story.

When I watched Katie Couric, every single word and movement of Teo wreaked of deception.  There wasn’t a sentence that supported the truth. Not one.  I will write about that next.
