Christine Blasey Ford- Political Pawn, Liar, Or Confused?

(BrightCitizen.com) Washington DC seems to have no shortage of divisiveness.  How a ‘disunited states’ can continue to prosper is very concerning even to the passionately positive people among us.

The highest Judicial Court of the United States of America has a nomination from President Donald Trump for a new Justice or Judge to serve for lifetime appointment.  The judge has a very positive record, is well regarded amongst all that he has worked with over his career, and is considered to be consistent with the conservative traditional values of the United States.  The issue is he is not being recommended by the leftists in the Democratic Party of the United States but instead a ‘Republican’ nomination.

After several FBI background checks, weeks of testimony, and hundreds of meetings between Judge Brett Kavanaugh and Members of the United States Senate, and anonymous letter from July is released just before confirmation process to the full senate begins.  The accuser, Christine Blasey Ford claims that she was groped in a bedroom 35 years ago by the young future judge at a beer party in Maryland.  Unfortunately, there are many problems with the story

  • Christine Ford doesn’t remember the house location or date of the alleged attack
  • Christine Ford may have had some traumatic affair but the mental health professional recorded her saying there were four boys in the room not the two she now talks about.  Which is it?
  • The accuser has no witnesses or confidants to confirm that the trauma happened, but more importantly who the perpetrators where if something did happen.
  • Christine Ford deleted all her social media accounts before going to the Washington Post to announce her accusation.  It would seem more a move for political battle than for keeping privacy.
  • People who have had a truly traumatic attack would relive the details constantly and would usually have them seared into their consciences.
  • 57 women have gone to the effort of writing a letter to the Senate Committee confirming the kindness and great treatment they have received from Brett Kavanaugh over his years and putting their names to a recommendation
  • Sexual predators don’t stop, they keep going for years until they are caught. Bill Clinton is a perfect example of a sexual deviant that continued to violate women from his days of governor in Arkansas to the Whitehouse.  If Judge Brett Kavanaugh were a sexual predator, he would have been continuing to display those traits and not been appointed his previous judicial positions.  Nor would have such a large group of friends and coworkers attesting to his integrity over his career.

Based on the timing and story, it would seem that everything is about trying to prevent a republican nominated judge from being seated on the US Supreme Court.  Is Ms. Ford a political pawn, a liar, or confused?  Ms. Ford is a political activist on the democratic side.  She has given money to political causes and signed her alias name to a letter against President Trump’s moves to fix immigration.  She has attained a post graduate degree so we would conclude she is likely no fool.

Based on the above, Christine Ford would seem to be an actively engaged political pawn trying to derail a nomination and destroy the personal lives of the target judge and his family.

Christine Ford’s story seems to have more holes than a shot-gunned milk jug.  What’s your take?  Feel free to make thoughtful comments below.  Avoid the politics and stick to the logical side.

Know Your Timing

It’s great to see get out there and do great things in music, entertainment, and research. However, there’s a time for everything.

Great business know when to run and when to build. Pictured above is a former Japan heart throb (Takuya Kimura or ‘Kimutaku’) in j-pop music. He’s over 40 now and attempting a come back. His fan generation is not interested.

Great business people become great because they’ve got the timing element nailed.

Time To Delete Facebook #deletefacebook

Facebook is the fantastically successful company founded by a sneaky son of a dentist. They make money selling your details on people.  They generate cash by telling others about you.

Do We Really Need FaceBook?
People use FB for keeping up with friends and relatives. We also look for ‘likes’ from people we don’t really know. Sadly though, many relationships have been broken by FaceBook. People leaving their spouses for an old flame, others fighting over political points that really don’t matter (it’s okay to respectfully disagree), and all sorts of trash talk because people don’t get something the way they wanted. People looking for approval on the platform by being accepted as a friend or being liked. Seth Godin recently commented on how superficial our relationships are on social media, AKA social surveillance media.   A friend is someone you can visit and maybe even sleep on their couch when you visit their city.

FaceBook Shares More Than You Think
Recently with the Cambridge Analytica scandal where Facebook users data was taken by third party advertisers, the world saw how loose Facebook really is. They are tough on bloggers and leaders that don’t share their morals but happy to share our information, posts, pictures as well as whatever we’ve given them as well as those who are connected with us.

FaceBook is founded on the concept of using your information to make money. They have repeated scandals about bleeding user information and giving away our data. The Cambridge Analytica revelations reveal that again. It has become the last straw for thousands.
When the founder and insider of a company that made billions of USD from being acquired by the social surveillance firm says it, it’s probably time to start listening. After all what good really is this company for society?

President Trump Needs To Get The Facts Right On US Bases In Japan

(BrightCitizen.com) Donald Trump has told us repeatedly that other countries need to pay their fair share for defense. When discussing the United Nations it is true that the United States has been paying most of the bills for military related activities and more. However, Trump has leveled the same judgment on the US military bases in Japan.

Japan pays for 50% or more, for everything at the US bases in that country. If the US government does not think that is enough of the costs, it should consider phasing out and closing the bases. That would cut costs and also give the Japan government a chance to show what they’re made of.

They still call it Christmas in Germany

The German Chamber of Commerce celebrated Christmas in Tokyo with great food, drink (maybe too much for a Monday night), music, and even great presents that leading international companies donated as raffle items. Wine glasses, appliances, champagne, hotel gift certificates, electronics, expensive kitchen knives, vacuum cleaners, and a lot of other classy gifts were given away to the lucky draw. It was a great event.

In the US, some say you can’t celebrate Christmas because its ‘religious’ or it might be ‘offensive’. But you can celebrate Halloween (that is also religious, of Druid origin).

When asked why some Americans are so against Christmas, one attendee said ‘Those Americans get so extreme about things’.

Christmas is a great time of the year. Yes, maybe a bit too commercialized but a great excuse to enjoy time with others. Maybe some grinches in America need to remember that.
