Joran van der Sloot: on Primetime Live Tonight!

I just got this tip from a viewer — thank you, B!

Tonight ABC new’s Primetime Live will air an interview with Joran van der Sloot at 10:00 p.m. ET. Joran van der Sloot is the Dutch teen who was held as a suspect in the Natalee Holloway case in Aruba. If you follow the link now, they show you the text of the interview. I already see one red flag in the text that raises questions and an eyebrow that things may not be what they seem… of course it doesn’t mean Joran van der Sloot in lying. It just means I have questions.

Tune in with me, and if you want, record the show. If I see anything unusual, I will share it with you and then you can go back and check it out for yourself.

And don’t forget to check back tomorrow to see what I believe!

Michael Brown: The Fall-out Guy?

I had an interesting experience this week. A reader e-mailed me and asked me for an opinion about Fema Director Michael Brown who was in charge during Katrina. He provided me with the following links and wanted to know if I thought Brown was honest or not.

Clip 1
Clip 2

Like all people, I will confess to my share of judgements and when it came to Brown, my judgement wasn’t good. Because this adminstration has frustrated me so much, I just turn away these days. I don’t watch, listen or read anymore because it is the same old story and I am worn thin. I found the name of the site where the links were posted, interesting too.

However, I was shocked after watching the first clip of Brown. I was amazed. When I watched Brown, I trusted what he was saying to be true. His anger was genuine, his emotions were true. I watched the second clip and my opinion didn’t change.

All of the sudden, I was like wow. I wonder if Michael Brown is the fall out guy for this administration’s handling of Katrina. I can’t help but wonder…

Don’t get me wrong, I think Michael Brown knows more than he is saying…but nonetheless it appears he is being truthful. It appears that he did what he is saying he did — and those above him who were to carry orders out — had other orders from other people to “not do them”.

Very interesting. Very interesting.

Adam Saleh and Julie Popovich

SALEH TALKS

A reader asked me for an opinion on this story. I am not familiar with it. However, I did watch the video of the suspect talking (see link above). Here is my opinion:

Adam Saleh says the right things, does the right things (outside of talking TOO MUCH) yet oddly his expressions are NOT in alignment with his actions.

Throughout this interview, he keeps smiling, smirking and flashing expressions of glee.

With that, I have to ask myself WHY is this guy happy? He appears genuinely happy, as if he were having tea with friends talking about a joyful event in his life — not the murder of a missing woman where **he has been named a suspect!**

Other times, he tries to act like he cares about the murdered woman (talking about her funeral after saying he didn’t know her) or people in general — yet he doesn’t show a flicker of TRUE emotion to back it up. He is a classic “neutral” person.

If someone is innocent and the finger is being pointed at them — they get worried, afraid, and stressed. Adam was only stressed at the beginning of the interview when the cameraman set up. After he got rolling, all his stress dissipated.

**Why isn’t Adam worried, afraid or stressed?**

That is the big question and a biggest tip-off that something isn’t right here. It’s the biggest red flag!

Adam also says he is shy yet in the video he is very outgoing –possessing all the social skills to be convincing. I think Adam is “selective” in his socializing, but he is NOT SHY though he wants YOU to believe he is shy.

Adam strikes me as someone who believes he is super intelligent and that may in fact be part of his downfall. Does he believe he could commit the perfect murder? He is very calculating at what he says and how he says it — almost so he doesn’t have to tell a lie when answering certain questions. He avoids lying by saying it just the “right way”.

There are other things that add up to a bigger picture as well. While each of these things I’ve listed below are NOT indicators alone — when combined with his inconsistent attitude above and the group of clues below — my eyebrows are seriously raised:

1. Adam talks on and on – as if trying to convince his audience. It’s like he believes he can convince anyone.
2. He stutters,
3. he word-searches,
4. and speaks in odd sentence structures.
5. He also salivates a few times and swallows oddly

Do I trust this guy? My answer is no. I’d be afraid to be with him alone because he is “charming” yet without emotion.

Who would be happy standing in his shoes when they are innocent? Anyone??

Is he enjoying all this attention or what?

Call for Video Links

Do you know a story (local, national or international) where you wonder what the truth is? If so, ask me.

All I need is a video-clip with a close-range head-shot of the suspect talking for a few minutes.

Oh, it helps tremendously if the suspect is being asked direct questions pertaining to the situation. I can’t read lies when people don’t lie. I am not a psychic. My skills are based on concrete, tangible clues.

All links welcome!

The Dog Whisperer’s Motives

The American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior speaks out against Cesar Milan.

“The Society of Veterinary Behavior Technicians (SVBT; www.svbt.org) have uniformly spoken out against the coercive, “dominance”-based techniques employed by Mr. Millan on his television show “The Dog Whisperer.”

I highly recommend Tamar Gellar’s approach to training dogs over Cesar Milan.

USA TODAY article about Caesar Milan

“A television producer is suing dog trainer Cesar Millan, star of TV’s The Dog Whisperer, claiming that his Labrador retriever was injured at Millan’s training facility after being suffocated by a choke collar and forced to run on a treadmill.”

* * * * * * * *

After seeing Episode 4 of the dog whisperer on the National Geographic Channel, I am confident that Cesar Millan’s motives are not out for the best interest of man or his best friend. I believe Cesar’s motives are out to line his own pockets.

In Episode 4, Mr. Millan is asked to train JonBee, who is considered a red-zone dog. A red zone dog is a dog that is very dangerous to society.

What Mr. Millan does to put JonBee in submission was simply horrifying, irresponsible and flat out unprofessional. And while I personally don’t agree with his approach, his actions in the face of his approach were reckless and dangerous to humans, and other animals. It was in his recklessness that I believe his true intentions were seen.

Mr. Millan (aka The Dog Whisperer) puts a noose around JonBee’s neck and forced him to the ground while literally strangulating the dog until the dog is so weak from lack of oxygen that he couldn’t fight back. JonBee, whose eyes were literally bulging, is about to pass out from lack of air when Cesar Millan loosens the noose and claims victory that JonBee submitted. That’s when Cesar Millan claims that the dog won’t get up and run because he has submitted.

The truth is JonBee was practically strangled to death, yet Cesar Millan never says he is using this technique though anyone can clearly see it with their own two eyes. The dog was forced to submit physically because he didn’t have the strength to respond without oxygen. After Cesar Millan removes the noose, JonBee just lays there in an exhausted pant. He doesn’t have the energy to even get up! The response from JonBee wasn’t due to “training”. It was due to physical, brutal abusive behavior.

Does Cesar think people believe he just forced the dog to the ground and he submitted? That is not what happens and you can clearly see it on the show.

Cesar Millan shows his intentions are not out for man or his best friend when he does NOT discuss his approach, or the ramifications. Instead, the Dog Whisper sits there and basks in his glory. This behavior is reckless and shows a lack of caring for man OR his best friend.

If a person believes that after nearly choking their dog to death — the dog will no longer be a danger to anyone –it is false — even after weeks of practice. An aggressive dog has to be taught not to challenge every new person it meets. It has to be given confidence and trust — not instilled with fear.

If a person attempts to do this dangerous and lethal technique incorrectly, they could seriously injure or even kill their dog. Doesn’t the dog whisperer care about this??? And worse than that, if the owner doesn’t do this technique exactly perfect — the owner himself faces getting potentially mauled. Where are Cesar Millan’s genuine concern for others? It was clearly lacking, in my opinion.

As a professional, or an expert — Cesar Millan owed these warnings and precautions to his TV audience and yet he didn’t give them! It shows his true motivations. It shows a lack of caring for dogs and their owners.

Dangerous dogs should not be wrangled with and forced into physical submission unless you know what you are doing — and I say you shouldn’t even do it then. It’s barbaric. We have mentally ill dogs like we have mentally ill people, and violence doesn’t eliminate the problem with either of them.

More than that, the owner of JonBee was hoping to rehabilitate him, and give him away. Cesar Millan was grossly negligent to not inform the public or the owner of JonBee that this training was NOT enough to ensure that this dog was no longer a danger to others. Clearly, there was much more than needed to be done! Sadly, the Dog Whisper said nothing.

Instead, the show continued on to show JonBee’s owner physically putting his dog into a submissive position without strangulation techniques three weeks later — where it was clear that JonBee outright feared his owner — and did what he believed he HAD TO do to survive. JonBee was not a happy, thriving dog who was trained. He was brutally forced to fear his owner.

Cesar Millan wants to be the big hero on the show who tamed this “wild” dog. He didn’t actually tame the dog, or put the dog into a corrected position with expertise or training. Instead, he physically deprived the dog of oxygen to the point the dog didn’t have enough life-sustaining oxygen to get up and fight back.
