Who Am I?

Deep inside, I believe, I’m still just me. The me I’ve always been.

My core foundation of passion for the loves in my life, the comfort of peace, and compassion for others, putting others before me … that’s me, that is what drives me.

What is it about me and canines that the ones I’m attracted to will be the ones destroyed because they are considered un-adoptable. Dogs that growl if you get too close. Dogs that growl viciously if they are made to feel cornered.

Dogs that cower and back away when you slowly raise your hand just to give affection. Those are the dogs who need me. There’s a certain level that dogs and I relate on. The last dog I rescued was from a sign I found hand-written at a grocery store. No photo, but it stated it was a German Shepherd, about five years old, that they needed to get rid of. I’m not sure what it was, but there was something about what they wrote that had me calling them from the store.

We agreed to meet on neutral ground since I had a male, too, and it’s difficult to have two males get along. My other male was also a rescue, now deceased, but the most amazing canine I ever knew. My son held his leash, and knew to pull him out of harms way if any aggression developed. They drove up and parked right next to my car.

When they let the dog out, my heart sank. I had never seen such a defeated, depressed, or lost-looking Shepherd in all my years. An extremely proud breed without showing an ounce of that pride. There was no bounce in his step, his head hung down, as did his tail.

Sociopaths in the White House.

Many sociopaths are admired by a portion of the public. For example, someone in great power, including most US Presidents, and other world leaders. They often take advantage of their power and lie to everyone in the world. Just read the list of sociopath traits while thinking about any World Leader.

Bush: “Just a one-finger victory salute.”

Since we still have to wait until Obama finishes his final term, there is limited factual documentation of the success or failure of it.

But there have many books published about George W. Bush. The following are facts …

Bush’s lies are documented in a vast number of books, and journalistic articles, including some written by those who had once been his most loyal supporters. His own press secretary resigned Continue reading

Do Not Expect Justice.

Our Judicial system is crumbling. What would be the chance of it ever getting fixed? Let’s think about that. There are three branches of the Federal government: Executive, Legislative and Judicial.

• Which branch has the most power? Judicial.
• Which is over all three, including policing itself? Judicial.
• Potentially, where does the biggest problem lie? Judicial.

The Judicial branch is our system of courts. A courtroom is where the common man is likely going to get closest to one of the three branches of the federal government. The top court in the country, the Supreme Court, is potentially as political as the other two branches of the government. Continue reading

A call from my Brother the Callous

Revised: 2011 Jan 18   (First published: 2010 Apr 11)
 
My brother Alan is a cheat, a liar, and the executor of my parents’ Trust … a very bad combination. Interestingly, he’s also a CPA and lead auditor with the government.

Regarding all issues with the Trust, he has kept me out of the loop entirely. Alan never provided me with any of the documents required by law, except for an emailed copy of the Trust itself, after 10-days of asking.

He emptied out my parents’ house of everything, telling me he gave all their belongings to charity … another lie, as he told me things he was in possession of. He said he never had an estate sale … a decision I don’t believe was his alone to make.

He also took my dad’s Cadillac telling me that dad gave it to him a year before he died. On more than one occasion, I asked for the VIN number though he refused to give it to me. Living on opposite coasts, along with other obstacles, he knew it would be difficult for me to challenge him.

April 2010

I received the following voice mail message from Alan regarding my parents’ Trust … a full three years after mom died (dad died the year before mom). I do not believe he and I had spoken since he hung-up on me in August 2007 (the next recording down). Continue reading

How to Detect Lies


Editor’s Note :: I came across this article on wikiHow, and found that it contained some useful information. It speaks in very general terms, but does not address sociopaths. Also, to use some of the visual techniques, you would need to know the person ahead of time, to compare how they would normally react. Be cautious with the details described, though, since they could apply to virtually anyone.

Watching facial expressions in order to determine whether a person is lying might just save you from being a victim of fraud, or it could help you figure out when somebody’s being genuine. Jury analysts do this when assisting in jury selection. The police do this during an interrogation. You have to learn the little facial and body expressions that can help you distinguish a lie from the truth.

My name is Charles, and I have been studying lies for a few years now. This is not bogus material, real FBI and TSA agents use it. I have a 97% accuracy in detecting lies and hope this will help you. This is is an edited version from an unknown user. Continue reading

Come Meet My Sociopathic Surgeon

2001 Nov 7, Wed

Karan, a woman I had met just a few months earlier, had offered to drive me to the hospital. It was not convenient for her in the least, either.

She had to drive an hour to get to my home from her’s, then travel another hour to get to the hospital. When we pulled up, I told Karan she could just drop me off at the entrance.

Her response was a very firm, “No way, I’m walking in with you.”

Karan won that dispute as she drove right to the parking deck and found a convenient spot. As soon as I checked-in, I was told they were ready for me in pre-op, so Karan gave me a hug, and wished me the best.

Within minutes of arriving in pre-op, they had run an IV, and suddenly, I had not one single care in the world. Shortly thereafter, my life was in the hands of an unnamed anesthesiologist.  Continue reading

A Family of Sociopaths — Part 5

PART 5: When Plans Backfire

… con’t from Part 4

On the morning of Kathy’s and Marlin’s departure, Kathy told me that they would have a stop-over in Salt Lake City, and that if I needed to get in touch with her, just leave a message on her cell, and she’d check it when they landed.

I remember that hit me as odd, since that would be only two hours after their flight left, and I didn’t plan to speak with them for the week they’d be gone. While driving them to the airport, she said it again, so that time it raised a flag. I didn’t ask anything, but I wondered what she was expecting me to call about.

“Surprise … I lied.”
