Derek Chauvin Trail

/7 Comments/in /by

Are you following the George Floyd trial? If you have, you know that the jury is out and we are on verdict watch. I honestly haven’t been able to watch the trial, but I have heard bits and pieces.

In the video above, an with regards to the defense I hear above, I am not convinced by Dr. Fowler’s reasoning that other elements contributed to his death. Are you?

Dr. Fowler tries to argue that Floyd’s heart was in the 95% percentile, so it was enlarged. I would argue that at 6 feet 6 inches tall and 230 pounds, he was larger than most men. Actually, do the calculation here! According to this website, Floyd was actually larger than 99% of the population by height, so perhaps for his size, his heart was slightly smaller than average for this size. So Fowler’s point is mute, if you ask me.

He also tries to call George Floyd “ROBUST”, but at the same time tells us he had a 90% cardiac blockage, coronary heart disease, hypertension, etc. He paints him as an unhealthy man yet calls him robust?

A coronary blockage that large is serious because it limits oxygen and blood flow to the body. That doesn’t make Floyd, while large in size, ROBUST. It actually would make him less strong and weaker than normal. Dr. Fowler is talking out of both sides of his mouth. He can’t be both here, which discredits Dr. Fowler some, if you ask me.

Fowler is also trying to throw in that Floyd died by carbon monoxide poisoning, which I find jaw dropping, frankly. Who put him in the position to have to breath that in? Who was negligent in this area? It wasn’t Floyd.

While I haven’t watched the case in its entirety, if this is the crux of the defense, I would not find it convincing as a cause of death. Floyd was walking around, functioning just fine prior to have his neck stood on for an unreasonable amount of time.

If we set prescient with this case that underlying medical conditions can be an excuse for a cause of death in cases such as this, I find that very dangerous territory!

Scott Falater: Truth teller or liar?

/in /by

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?

Check back to the blog in the next week for my response! I will either leave a comment in the comment section or I will post about it!

H.R. McMaster on 60 Minutes

/in /by

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…

Diane Downs on 20/20: Are you a good detective?

/in /by

The story of Diane Downs was profiled on 20/20 this past weekend. I have to admit I am only half-way through the show as it was two hours long. But there was a shocking moment in the first half (guessing approximately where I stopped) that I saw that blew my mind! Did you catch it?

It’s one of those moments that if you have attended my class, I show you examples of–where the human mind hears one thing, but switches it to another because they cannot reconcile the truth as being that obvious. I think it is a protective measure at some level 99% of people do this! It’s the weirdest phenomenon I have encounter teaching people about deception.

Basically, a person can say a very TRUE statement that leaks the truth in a huge way –that is SO PROFOUND–it should stop people dead in their tracks.

But what happens in these situations is that people’s subconscious mind can’t reconcile what was actually said–was said. And so the mind distorts it. The listener actually subconsciously changes the words the person who is telling the truth said to make it benign!!!!!!!

When liars admit their deeds openly in an unexpected reveal, people will literally hear something different! It happened in the black widow case in Texas. And now its happening again.

Diane Downs said something very profound. On the show, we don’t see her say it, but we see someone else who interacted with her repeat her words. I trust this person is telling us 100% the truth.

I wrote those words down because they were MIND BOGGLING. And I searched Google today to get the clip. When I typed in the words, guess what?

They were completely modified on 6 different websites quoting the story!! Including ABC news! And yet when I listen to the actual statement said, it is completely different. This is what happened with the black widow killer too. The news journalists literally change the words, as well as others who write about the story! Because its that surreal.

Do you know what I am talking about? How good of a detective are you? Did you catch it??

Check back later this week for the answer!

Note: I do not know if the clip above contains the segment I am talking about. And I am guessing I was half-way through. I may have been a few minutes more past the half-way point–just so I don’t mislead anyone when I quit watching because I was tired.

Brain Dead Girl’s Mom Speaks Out

/3 Comments/in /by

EDITED FOR ACCURACY on April 6, 2014

Nailah Winkfield’s daughter, Jahi McMath, 12, was declared brain dead last December after a tonsillectomy that went wrong. According to state law in California, once a doctor declares a patient brain dead they are no longer required to treat them.

On my Suggestion Page, I see I have 84 votes by people who read the blog to review Nailah–asking if she is being honest. I have to say I am rather perplexed at this. Why do people question Nailah? I don’t understand.

I do believe Nailah is being honest–that her daughter is still responsive — at what level I cannot say. I also believe that Nailah is too close to this situation to be of clear mind and is likely in denial about the situation.

I do not believe that Nailah is being intentionally deceptive.
