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!

Chris Krebs on 60 Minutes

/in /by

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

/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…

Tammy Lawrence-Daley

/in /by

Video link

Tammy Lawrence-Daley talks of a horrible ordeal of being attacked at a resort in the Dominican Republic earlier this year. When you see photos of her, you can have nothing but sympathy for her.

However, when I listen to her story, I have so many questions. More questions then I expect after seeing her photos. It makes me question, while she obviously was attacked, is the story she is telling us how it really happened?

The very first red flag for me is when Tammy smiles when she says she remembers that “grunt he made” when when she was attacked.

Why the happy thought here? It’s oddly out of place.

The reporter says that Tammy was pummeled, and she could feel the bones in her face crack and her teeth break, yet if you listen to her story she says she never saw his face.

This news report says he beat her for a TWO hours. That’s a long time to not see his face or have identifying information, don’t you think?

Did he beat her for two hours in an open area? Where did this take place that no one could see her or hear her? This is a resort. There are people everywhere in these places. Maybe not in a hallway for 10 minutes, but we are talking two hours!

After the beating and only then was she dragged into a “dank crawlspace”. I would assume no one ever goes into that crawlspace, but somehow her husband, not the hotel, found her?

What are the odds?

Also, notice there are no details of her husband’s search, how he felt, and how he found her? It’s all missing.

Worse, neither of the two have corroborating emotions to substantiate their story. Yes, she was beaten, but she shows no fear, sadness, terror — any negative emotion that would fit with a stranger beating like this. Instead, I see positive emotions when I least expect it.

Then she says, “All I could think of was my fath…my husband was going to find me dead.”

WHAT?

First why would you think of your father, unless your husband beat you?

And why would your husband find you dead if you were in a “dark” and “dank” crawlspace? Her father wasn’t even on this vacation from what they are reporting.

This doesn’t even fit with the story she is telling us!

The husband’s emotions don’t fit with this story, either.

And who is this maid?

If she was part of this, there is a chance she can’t speak out against the resort, so I will accept that is a possibility. But the nurse translated that she is safe??

Or does she mean she translated what the nurse said? If so, does Tammy speak Spanish? Otherwise that is bizarre, too!

Did the maid hear her whole story to know what happened to her to know she was safe?? Do you just tell random people they are safe when they are bloody. I wouldn’t.

I’m also very troubled with her “generic” statement, “It’s not safe for women to be alone.”

Wait a minute!!!!

If I was attacked at THIS resort and I knew there was an attacker on the lose THERE, I wouldn’t be telling women to be careful everywhere. I’d be specifically warning them THIS RESORT IS DANGEROUS until this man is found. But she ironically doesn’t do that.

That’s a lot of red flags for a very short story.
