Hillary Clinton: My Thoughts

/in /by

With regards to the post below, you may actually be surprised to know how I see Senator Hillary Clinton because my vote would be in the minority. I believe Clinton is being sincere in this video. I do not see her head shake as a sign she disapproves of Barack Obama. I see it as affirmation of her beliefs, her strong and true beliefs.

Think of someone saying “That’s amazing” as they think about the impact of what is before them. Have you ever noticed they often shake their head from left to right instead of up and down as they absorb those thoughts of amazement? It is not because they don’t believe what is before them.

Read moreWe all shake our heads in a variety of directions and we cannot just assume because someone shakes their head left to right, it is a negative sign, or has negative meaning. Reading body language is much more complex.

Notice as Clinton starts her head movements she says, “It’s really, for me, a tremendous opportunity and honor to be part of what I hope will be a great next couple of years for America.”

Can you feel the words “tremendous opportunity and honor”? Her head movement supports what she is saying here. It’s like added oomph, even though I believe she does it subconsciously.

This is a notable trait of Clinton’s and she does this when she truly believes something. This is not the first time she has done it.

When Clinton talks in this video, she is quite introspective which I think throws people. She isn’t performing for a crowd. She isn’t speaking into the camera. She is sharing her thoughts off the top of her head as they come to mind. She is being herself. With that, I think her lack of eye contact confuses people as well.

I do not see one indication that she is being deceptive, dishonest or disingenuous with us.

Can I ask what purpose she would have to disapprove of Barack Obama at this point and time? They both share the same ideologies and while she may believe she was the better candidate, I don’t think she disagrees with the majority of Obama’s beliefs. She should be looking forward to working with her party after eight years of a republican in the white house.

Clinton did this exact head movement before, and I spoke about it here:

What Senator Clinton is doing here is what I would call a head swagger. It’s actually her confidence that is causing this, and it is not what I would call a head shake no when she is saying something affirmative.

When people shake their head no when they say yes (a gesture, I believe), it is a quick, swift movement. It comes from the subconscious, and it is most alway brief. It doesn’t languish on like this does, and furthermore, when conscious thoughts kick in, the person usually stops the “no” movement abruptly and switch to a “yes” motion. You can see the thoughts “kick-in” to conscious awareness. It quite fast, and fascinating to witness.

You may find it helpful to watch the video in full-size.

Marion Jones Thompson on Oprah

/in /by

Yesterday Jones did her first interview with Oprah Winfrey since serving six months in prison for lying to federal prosecutors. Oprah did a fabulous interview. She asked key and important questions, and if you want my opinion, Jones squirmed. She squirmed big time. Her words, face, and body language were riddled with clues that she wasn’t being honest with us.

Read moreI don’t think Jones learned her lesson, and to watch her for an entire hour play this “I’m sorry” role was nauseating. If you want my opinion Oprah’s eyebrows were up high, too.

Jones wants us to believe that she was taking flaxseed oil. She told us how she would put it under her tongue, how she was instructed to wait for a minute and then swallow it, and she expects us to believe she didn’t know it was a steriod? Who takes flaxseed oil like that? Anyone?

Give me a break.

Worse, she says when prosecutors showed her a vial with clear liquid and told her it was a steriod, she suddenly realized that the clear vial that she thought was flaxseed was in fact a steriod. In that minute, she wants us to believe she came to terms with what she did, and just decided to lie.

“Before they showed it to me, I never knew what it looked like because it wasn’t introduced to me as ‘the clear,'” she says. “So when they showed it to me and they said, ‘This is the substance,’ and I knew that I had taken that substance. I made the decision that I was going to lie. I was going to try and cover it up.”

This is ridiculous. Would you fess up if you believed you were innocent to a clear vial? Just like that?

More than that, Oprah asked if she ever confronted her trainer about it if she was misled, and Jones said no. Oprah asked her even to this day? And Jones said no, again.

It’s absurd.

“In that fateful moment, Marion says many thoughts ran through her head. “I thought about my family. I thought about how proud they were when I won the medals and when I achieved success and how disappointed they would be,” she says. “I thought about my finances. I thought about my sponsors.”

But she didn’t think about the person who she says duped her?

Anyone buying this story?

When we are wronged, framed, or lied to, we as humans get angry, get upset, and feel violated. We take action and seek answers, but not Marion. She wants you to believe she is the exception to the rule. It’s highly suggestive that she was a willing participant the whole time.

More than that, Oprah played a clip from 20/20 where the drug company founder, Victor Conte, said he saw Jones shoot up once. Oprah asked Jones why would Victor Conte lie? Jones didn’t have an answer, but amazingly she did admit to having met Conte.

Jones says she has permanently retired from the sport, but now wants to help people. Isn’t that ironic? I think she needs to take a good look in the mirror. People aren’t going to be fooled by this one. I think the person who still needs help is Jones herself.

Drew Peterson’s Days Numbered?

/in /by

The Chicago Sun-Times is reporting today that prosecutor is close to solving one of the two cases involved with Drew Peterson.

“I fully expect there to be a resolution in at least one of these investigations in the near future,” Glasgow [Will County State’s Attorney] said in a statement timed for the one-year anniversary of Stacy Peterson’s disappearance.[Chicago Sun-Times]

I suspect that they are close to building a good case against Kathleen Savio, personally, because if they found the body of Stacy Peterson, I don’t think they would be able to have kept that quiet.

It wasn’t that long ago that medical experts shared their insight that there were key indications in the second autopsy of Kathleen Savio that indicated homicide. I suspect more pieces of the puzzle were gathered over the past several months — building a solid case against Peterson.

What do you think?

Need Assistance Regarding Cooper

/in /by

Several of you e-mailed me yesterday asking for my opinion about Brad Cooper since his deposition has been released.

In order to expedite your request, if you can find spots in the deposition that you would like me to look at it, that will speed things up for me. Unfortunately, my schedule is tight the next few days and I don’t have the time to sift through eight hours of video.

Read moreSo, if you want my insight and want to help me share my thoughts with you, here is what you can do:

  1. Find questions and answers of Brad that you want me to review.
  2. Identify time markers in the video where Brad talks about the question you want me to look at (video time markers should not be longer than 3-5 minute spans).
  3. Submit to me the question you are curious about, provide me the link and provide me with the time marker span to look at.
  4. Submissions can be posted below.

FYI: For some reason I am not able to view ABC affiliate station video files. My system loads up but when I click play nothing happens. I’ve turned off my blocking software, downloaded Flash 9, allowed active-x to run and I still get nothing. I’ve tried to video the video in Firefox as well as IE 7.0 and I am unable to get the player to play. Anyone out there have any ideas? I’m running Vista (64-bit) and have a brand new computer with the latest updates applied.
