By popular demand,
Here are
several reasons
several reasons
I believed
Christine Ford
Christine Ford
was lying,
before her
before her
Senate testimony,
after which,
after which,
it more obvious to me
that she was lying.
I took two days off
from my three blogs
to think about this
circus.
I'm not a Democrat,
or a Republican --
I've been a libertarian
since 1973 -- I appreciate
a party with principles,
(smaller government = more freedom)
even if they never win
an election.
What annoys me the most
is lying, whether deliberate
or unintentional.
The whole Kavanaugh
confirmation circus,
still in progres,
annoyed me
-- it was
nothing more
than a fiction-based
political character
assassination,
which made me
embarrassed
to be an American,
for the first time
since $#@&%
since $#@&%
George W. Bush
started a war with Iraq,
( which had nothing to do
with the 9/11 attack ).
Before that,
I was embarrassed
to live in a nation
where 58,000+ Americans
were sacrificed in Vietnam,
along with over 200,000
South Vietnamese, yet we,
with nuclear weapons,
and the biggest military
in the world, managed
to lose a war to North Vietnam.
Never mind whether or not
we should have been there
So here we are with
the reasons I thought
Christine Ford was lying:
(1)
Ford was a leftist --
a progressive Bernie
Sanders suporter --
truth is not a leftist value,
power is a leftist value,
so lying to get power
is justified in their
minds, and makes the liar
a hero to other leftists,
whether or not
she succeeds
(eg; Anita Hill).
(2)
Dumbocrats (see picture)
said they'd never allow
Kavanaugh to be confirmed,
said they'd never allow
Kavanaugh to be confirmed,
... so a last minute surprise,
or two, were practically
promised, if the Dumbs
"needed" a surprise,
and a surprise was needed.
(3)
Dumbocrats did not
investigate Ford's claims
to get information to
corroborate her story,
or they did investigate,
and didn't find corroboration,
in the almost two months
they had to investigate.
(4)
Ford's character
and background,
was deliberately hidden:
Did anyone realize
she was a multi-millionaire
with $3.3 million home
in Palo Alto, another
home in Santa Cruz,
and perhaps even more
real estate assets ?
Ford's social media
posts "disappeared".
Ford's high school yearbook
"disappeared"
Ford's
therapist notes
were kept hidden.
Ford's alleged lie detector test,
which I doubt she even took,
was not videotaped, and
the questions asked
were kept secret.
(5)
Most important was
the original fictional story,
seemed well planned
to provide just enough details
to be somewhat believable,
and nothing extra
-- no additional details
that were beyond
the minimum required.
The more details,
the more likely
that one of the details
could be refuted,
and the more details
that had to be
remembered,
to be consistent.
When her hazy memory was
causing too many doubts,
Ford "suddenly remembered"
more details,
such as the names of
two others teens there,
and each additional detail
made story less believable.
With a true story,
added details make
the story more believable!
Folks, I may be
turning 65 soon.
but I still remember
"just enough"
to recognize
that it's not easy
to be a teenage girl,
If you're a good girl,
you get teased about
being a virgin, or some
guy is likely to brag
he did something with you,
even though he never did.
If you're a bad girl,
I can't imagaine what
is said about you
behind your back.
Even worse,
through high school
and college years,
I believe the odds
of being touched
inappropriately,
or "manhandled",
or date raped
while drunk or high,
etc., is up to 90%.
Not that boys are immune
from assaults by other boys,
and in the wrong neighborhoods,
gunfire.
So I would be surprised
if Christine Ford was never
abused in some way by a boy,
even if just a date touching
her where she didn't want
to be touched, or just
a boy grabbing her ass,
although there's
no evidence
no evidence
Ford was ever in
the same room
the same room
as Brett Kavanaugh,
or ever met him.
I don't consider being wrestled
onto a bed, in front of a witness,
and then being allowed to get away,
without a scratch, to be an
"attempted rape".
It was an assault, no doubt,
but maybe not a sexual assault,
when all her clothing,
and the bathing suit
allegedly under her clothing,
remained on the whole time.
A real rapist would not want
a witness watching him,
and would not let his victim
get away so easily,
without a scratch,
I believe.
I believe.
The event
that Christine Ford described
with Brett Kavanaugh and
Mark Judge, never happened,
and there is no evidence it did.
