Who is telling the truth?

/in /by

I was watching the Chicago news last night. An elderly black man accidentially bumped the car in front of him. The man in the car that he tapped, got out, put a gun to the elderly man’s face and threatened him. The guy with the gun then goes back to his car, calls the police and they arrive.

The police talk to the elderly black man, and he tells them the other guy threatened him with a gun so the police handcuff the other guy. The other guy then says he is a police officer, and they then proceed to take off the handcuffs — and the off duty cop then says the elderly black man tried to run him over and succeeded in pressing charges against the elderly black man for assault. The black man then gets locked up.

The black man denies ever moving his car.

So, who is telling the truth?

On the news, they interviewed the elderly black man and his son. I am 100% confident that the black man is innocent. The way he spoke, the way he looked at the camera and the story he told was completely consistent. More than that, it is just a gut instinct. I believe him. I don’t need to hear the other half of the story to know.

The black man’s son (who is also a cop in another jurisdiction) said something interesting. He said, “A law officer who pulls a gun after a very minor traffic incident is unstable, and should be fired.”

This is so sad to see. My heart goes out to that black man and his family. You wonder if this was racially motivated. I would love to see this off-duty cop in an interview, and I’d love to hear from the cop who charged the elderly black man and locked him up. I’d love to hear their stories and basis for their actions.

Here is the story in print.

Channeling my Energy

Since I have been bursting at the seams with hopes of some how using my lie-detecting skills, I decided to do some investigation on the web.

I went to a bullet board on the web for cops — and I posted a question to them. I mentioned that I could see lies beyond what is average and would police have interest? Two traffic cops responded in a joking manner that everyone can see lies — what they need help with is getting the guilty to confess. In the mix, however, was a deputy sheriff. He told me if I could truly see lies more than average, the police would certainly be interested!

My interest was piqued. Really? Really!!

He reiterated police stations would have interest. He was a kind guy.

Then he told me to call the homicide-investigation units using their unpublished psychic hotlines! Huh?

He said that way I would get through to the people who would like to know about my skills as these hotlines typically go directly to the homicide unit and are not screened.

Isn’t that interesting??

Unpublished numbers? And how do you get those????

Psychic hotlines?

Somehow I was crushed. Forgetting about the nonsense his reply… I am not psychic and don’t ever want to be. And hey, how do I call unpublished numbers anyway?

Yeah, right. This is going well.

Not.

Well, he went on to tell me who to ask for from the main switch board. He gave me an official title within the ranks. Then he told me to tell the captains that I can provide “intuitive consulting”. That’s the big buzz word in the field today.

It sounded interesting. I checked into it. Intuitive consulting is just a fancy word for psychic and mystic people!

AHHhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! Shoot me now, please!

I just don’t know if I have the guts to call police stations at this point — and talk about my skills. I don’t want to sound like a loony, or a nut job!! That really bothers me. I certainly won’t mention the buzz words “Intuitive Consultant” if I do. It gets under my skin!!

I’m not a flake. Really, I’m not. I’m genuine. I just have to be 100% confident in my abilities. Right now I guess I am about 75%.

So far, getting myself out there hasn’t been easy but I shall not give up!!!

Any ideas?

Touching the Void

/in /by

Last night, I wasn’t feeling well so I was all snuggled in on the couch watching TV. TV usually bores me so I was less than thrilled on many accounts — however luck was on my side last night. Our local PBS channel broadcast one of the most incredible documentaries I have ever, ever seen.

It was a documentary titled Touching the Void . It was about two men who climbed the Andes Mountains in Peru back in 1985 and the trials they faced. I had no idea that man could endure to this extreme. Time after time, I was sitting on the edge of the couch, glued, unable to move — and totally taken back by one guy’s spirit. I was in awe.

If this documentary was a made into a movie instead, I would have without a doubt thought it was pure fiction. It was that incredible.

I would love to tell you all about it here, but I refuse to even attempt to tell you about it because I couldn’t possibly do it justice. It’s a movie you have to see to feel, and believe. This movie was by far the best I have seen in years and years and years.

You must watch it for yourself.

I will carry this movie with me for as long as my memory allows.

Chomping at the bit…

/in /by

Tonight my hubby and I sat down to watch Dateline on TV. They had special about a murder case in Las Vegas. They inform you that someone is going to commit murder– and you won’t believe who.

Then in the first two to three minutes of the show, they played the 9-1-1 call of a woman. She spoke of her husband trying to kill her, you heard silence and then gun shots.

Within 15-30 seconds of her speaking on the 9-11 tape before I heard the gun shots, I said very firmly to my husband, “She is definitely lying.”

You could tell by the way she spoke totally calmly in the beginning of the call — whispering clearly and precisely giving out her address. Then she speed up her voice, and it became high pitched. Each sentence ended in a high pitch. If someone is about to kill you, you don’t speak totally calmly then squeal off at the end. There is never a moment of calm. It’s terror. It is feverish, shaky, jittery — whispering maybe – but clearly not calm.

I knew it before any evidence came up that she was guilty of killing her husband and it wasn’t self-defense. The 9-1-1 call was all it took me. I was certain.

My husband looked at me in suspense and continued to watch. As the show unraveled, the homicide investigator came to believe that she was guilty of killing her husband — that it wasn’t “self-defense”. I completely concurred as I, too, watched the evidence. The case went to the D.A. The D.A. decided to prosecute the case and the state appointed an attorney to the woman.

The state offered her a plea bargain. She declined it — and swears by her innocence. Before trial, I told him she’d take it. She was falling apart and it was because she couldn’t handle lying in front of all these people (a judge and 12 jurors). She wasn’t capable of going on anymore with it. The stress of her lie was sending her over the edge.

She took the plea bargain last minute for second degree murder. She is serving 10-25 years.

I am just bursting inside!! I know I can help people. I can help police, homicide detectives, attorneys — anyone who needs to see the truth. I just don’t know how to “sell” myself — though I will work for free. It’s not about money.

“Hey, Mr. Police Investigator, I can see lies. Do you want me to help you?”

YEAH RIGHT!

I may just get locked up for sounding insane! Actually, I probably get tagged a lunatic.

Damn. This is frustrating!

How can I go about this without sounding like a freak? I’m not a freak. I have a legitimate ability to see something to a degree most people cannot.

Can you spot a lie?

/in /by

Here is a test for you. Nothing scientific, but fun.

It’s a pretty easy test as it was designed for young high school kids –so keep that in mind but nonetheless give it a go!

On average, people can spot lies in real life about 50% of the time. I suspect most people will probably fair even better on this test as it is basic and doesn’t involve real people in action.

Tell me how you did!
