Steve Harvey Full of Emotion

/in /by

This is a great video where Steve Harvey gets surprised on his show.  His reaction in this video is fascinating to watch because at first you don’t know what is going on.  You can see Steve is getting overwhelmed but he is tense so you can’t help but wonder if this a positive connection or a negative one.

What is the first time you know before Steve says a word if this is a positive or negative experience for him?

Stop reading this if you want to look and come back.

Granted, the stranger in the video says, “Do you still love me baby?” so you get a huge hint there, but Steve’s reaction really makes you wonder if he feels the same way, doesn’t it?  So at what point does he confirm this is a positive experience for him?

At point thirty-three into the video, Steve turns his head and as he does there is a very slight upturn of the lips (very slight) and then five seconds later (point thirty eight), we see sadness envelope Steve in the eyes. They droop dramatically.  Then a second or two later the tears come and his eyebrows, while very bushy, go oblique.

When his friend says, “I’m waiting for my answer buddy” I’m on the tip of my toes.  What is Steve going to say?  He then lifts his eyebrows, which shows his second positive response, and third, the tone of his voice cues up positively when he says back, “Hey man”.

When Steve starts talking about his struggles, you can feel the pain in voice, can’t you?

This is a great emotional video, and a beautiful story about how one man helped out another in need and Steve never forgot that.

I have had three absolutely beautiful human beings support me in my efforts to share my abilities with others.  When I thought no one would ever see what I could do or ever believe in me, these three men did and it has been through their constant belief in me, support and encouragement that doors and opportunities have opened for me.  I saw one of them yesterday and the other back in November. One I have yet to meet, but I am looking forward to the day I get too.  These three men believe in me, give me confidence and encourage me when I need a lift and even when I don’t. Their spirits have each touched me deeply and I value them tremendously.  They have been so generous and kind to me. I will always be grateful.

My three heros are Steve, Demetri and Daren.  Thank you for being there for me. Thank you for believing in me.  Your support means the world to me, and I will never, ever forget what you three have done for me.  I only hope I can return your generous spirit back to you in other ways…

John McAfee on Dateline

Did you catch Dateline this past weekend?  They aired the full story of John McAfee and it was absolutely fascinating.  I think for a lot of people John McAfee is a hard read, though his behavior of disappearing after a murder is highly suspicious to anyone.

John is someone I would characterize as genius–bordering on crazy-genius, if you know what I mean.  He is super intelligent to the point you wonder if his intelligence will cause him to go over the edge. He comes mighty close without question.

When John tells Dateline that he didn’t up and leave because he thought Gregory Faull killed his dogs, but because he thought the government did and that they were out to get him, I didn’t buy it for an instant.

John lacked the conviction in his words and his responses back to Dateline–when he was told Greg Faull said he was going to kill McAfee’s dogs–were squarely out of line for someone who is truly uninvolved.  His responses raised huge red flags to me.

I don’t doubt for an instant that John was paranoid about the Belize government–not for a second, but it wasn’t what culminated on this night.  I suspect John is clever enough to mix partial truths with lies to be better believed. It’s just my two cents.

Why do I think John may have been paranoid with the government?  Pure and simple:  MDPV (otherwise known as bath salts).  John posted on the web, according to Dateline, about this drug and interestingly, Dateline said that John was investigated for a meth lab by the Belize government.  I don’t suspect he had a meth lab. I suspect he had an MDPV lab, and this lab, which was not illegal in Belize, may have caused problems between him and government. I suspect John became a nuisance and was not highly regarded like he once was with government officials. 

Of course, John says his conversations on Bluelight message board about MDPV were just a joke–another element that John story that I am not buying.

I suspect John experimented with MDPV and suffered from serious paranoia during the times he experimented with it (which WIRED magazine talked about), and he combines the truth of one story and implicates it in another. 

What John did to get out of Belize and into the U.S. shows this man is quick on his feet–so quick that if you don’t watch him, he’ll vanish.  He’ll be one step ahead of most of us and he knows it.

I think Greg Faull was one awful human being to do what he did to John’s dogs. It seems both men took the law into their own hands, its just one paid a much higher price than the other.

Lie Expert Opinion on Lance Armstrong

/20 Comments/in /by

Look at the face of Lance Armstrong in his interview with Oprah last night.  Do you see a man who is upset and hurting that he  viciously bullied people and treated not only his friends and teammates pathetically, but he lied to the world?  Does his face show any regret?

While I would never rely on a still shot to tell me the whole story, Lance has no problem cracking a smile through his entire interview, and worse, he didn’t show an ounce of sadness or regret the entire time. Instead he flashes contempt several times over.  Watch this clip.

Yeah sure, Lance sat down with Oprah and decided to state the obvious for which he could no longer deny to any sane person, but was he sorry for what he did?  I don’t believe so.  Was he sorry he got caught and is paying the ultimate price?  I believe so.

Lance seems actually pleased with what he could pull of, if you ask me.  He is still arrogant, which is one of my biggest indicators someone a high propensity to lie.  He is nowhere near humble–even with all he has been through–which is shocking if you ask me.

And worse, I has highly disturbed that Lance admitted in so many words that he lacked a conscience. When he was asked if he ever felt wrong about what he did, he said no.  When he was asked if he ever felt bad about it, he replied no–scarier.  When Oprah asked did you ever feel like you were cheating?  He said no — scariest.  Yes, this is very scary as he should feel differently now, but clearly his emotions support that he feels the exact same way as he always did. He feels no guilt, shame or regret.  That’s chilling!

While Lance said some of the right words, he also was still notably evasive and refused to discuss certain topics or people.  When someone comes clean — all the way clean — they don’t use these tactics, and these were tactics. When it came to talking about Betsy Andreau, look at what Lance said, “I don’t want to take that on.”  His words say it all. Is that the response of someone who is coming clean and honest?  I don’t think you need me to answer that. He also didn’t want to talk about Dr. Ferrari.

Lance also wanted us to believe he just gave the UCI two checks for $125,000 but they were not to influence his drug test results. When Oprah pointedly asked him in the interview why he gave the money to the organization since we know now know his original reason was a lie, Lance struggled to answer the question. Lance struggles to answer several questions–clearly stuttering for words.  He finally said “because they asked me too”.  I don’t think anyone will ever buy that–and he wants us to accept his apology?

Lance tells us who he is and the picture he himself paints of himself is of someone who is ugly, flawed and untrustworthy.   He even says, “I’m a flawed character…”  As Oprah always says, when someone tells you who they are believe them!

Check back for more. As I see snippets of the interview, I may analyze some for you in the coming days.

Armstrong to Confess to Doping

/in /by

This week, Lance Armstrong, is going to sit down with Oprah Winfrey and he is going to confess to doping, say news reports.  They also say he will apologize.  It will be interesting to watch to say the least! As soon as someone gets footage, please send it to me!

I have been saying since Tyler Hamilton came out in May 2011 that I believed Tyler and that I did not believe Lance.

When Lance stripped of his titles in June 2012, I wrote about him here, seeking videos which showed Lance denying doping.  For those who shared those videos with me, I shared with you that I did not believe Lance.

And then 60 Minutes did a piece on Lance Armstrong at the end of October, and interviewed two women who said they knew of Amstrong’s doping, and I absolutely believed them. 

When people spoke out against Lance, he always wanted everyone to believe that these people were bitter, and the liars and he was the truth-sayer.  Shameful.

I personally think Lance’s fame and acceptance from this has dropped so dramatically, he feels he has no choice now but to save face. I think its a little late, but better now than never.

I hope you enjoy my insight. I work hard to be the BEST source for the truth on the web before the truth is known.
