Record 48 Hours this Saturday

/in /by

On Saturday, 48 Hours (CBS, 10 p.m. ET/PT) is going to air the first interview with John Ramsey after Patsy’s death.

48 Hours writes, “There is provocative new evidence in the JonBenet Ramsey murder – evidence that could have cleared her parents from the start. Plus, John Ramsey gives his first interview since his wife Patsy died.”

I find the words “could have” paramount in the release by 48 Hours — but nonetheless, I will watch it with an open-mind.

I will be watching, will you?

Check back next week to see if you see what I see. Save your recording so you can compare what I see with what you see!

I’m a Truth Wizard

/1 Comment/in , /by

I am pleased to share with you the exciting news that I have now been scientifically tested and classified as a “truth wizard” by scientist and researcher Dr. Maureen O’Sullivan.

I contacted Dr. O’Sullivan back in July of this year, and she agreed to test me. I took the tests and passed. I can’t tell you how excited I was!

This past week, I had the pleasure, honor and privilege of meeting Dr. O’Sullivan in person. It was a dream come true for me!

Dr. O’Sullivan is a Professor of Psychology at the University of San Francisco, and has been studying people’s ability to understand each other for over 30 years. One way people understand each other is by being able to detect lies. Dr. O’Sullivan started her wizard study back in 1996 with Dr. Paul Ekman, who is a world-renowned facial expression expert.

Dr. O’Sullivan’s “research addresses questions about human emotion including: emotional intelligence, humor, romantic love, lying and truthfulness, courtesy, and cross-cultural differences in emotional experience and expression. She also studies individual differences in intelligence and expertise.” (source: USF biography)

Read more about Dr. O’Sullivan’s wizard study here:

“Wizards can spot the signs of a liar.”

“Select few can identify liars.”

Dr. O’Sullivan has tested over 15,000 people for her study, and has found 46 wizards to date. With that, I’m wizard 46.

So, what does being a wizard actually mean? It means I see most kinds of lies accurately at least 80% of the time (I’m not flawless as I have said before.), whereas the normal person is only as good as a coin-toss in spotting deception.

Dr. O’Sullivan says most people look at the world through rose-colored glasses. They don’t have the “grit” inside them to see the truth, as it isn’t always pleasant.

Now, I am not going to talk about the “Wizards Project”, because Dr. O’Sullivan has asked me not to—and I have promised her I won’t—until the study is complete. So, no questions on “wizards” or the Wizards Project, please, but I can talk about being “me”, if you have interest.

But there you have it—I do have Eyes for Lies!!

“Oops! …I Did It Again”

Did you see the news?

I am sad to report, for Britney Spears and her children, that she has filed for divorce stating that her marriage has “irreconcilable differences”.

It was just this past June that Spears, pregnant with her second child, did an interview with Matt Lauer on Dateline NBC to try to dispel the myth that her marriage was in trouble. She wanted you to believe her marriage was awesome, understandably. At that time Spears was in denial, and no one can blame her for being there when she was pregnant. It is part of the human emotional-survival response. I do not judge her for it.

Sadly, however, when Spears did that interview, I could clearly see the denial. Britney was trying to soothe herself. She wanted to believe her marriage would make it, though in her heart, clearly before her, she was struggling with the reality–pushing it away.

Read my June post about Spears interview with Dateline NBC and Matt Lauer here.

I truly wish Britney Spears, and her family all the best in finding true happiness.

Sometimes I wish I didn’t see all the things I see. It’s painful to secretly carry, and face the pains other can’t (in my private life), yet it is relief when they face the truth and move on–because that is a huge positive step. For when we face the truth, it is the first opportunity we have to seek out, and find true happiness.

Ted Haggard Quits

/in /by

I wrote almost a year ago to the day that I did not trust Ted Haggard, the leader of the New Life Church in Colorado Springs. Did you know the membership at Haggard’s Colorado Springs church totals 14,000 (excluding Haggard’s national following)?

Haggard gave me the heebie-jeebies in his interview with Dan Rather a year ago. Haggard had a plastered fake smile that never left his face. He gave me the feeling he was only out for one thing: the mighty buck.

He set off my warning bells, that’s for sure. I am not surprised by these allegations at all.

Read my post about Ted Haggard last year here.

Thanks to my uncle Dave for pointing the news story out to me as it broke last night! He remembered seeing my post a few months ago about Haggard and the New Life Church.
