The Perfidy of Sarah Palin - Part I by Lidia17

7/8/2011

It's been far too long since I've watched this. If you've not seen this series by our own commenter, Lidia17, then you must.

Thank you, Lidia, for permission to post your terrific work on my blog. H/T to those of you who provided the links to all three parts, reminding us that these videos are worth watching again and again.

Thanks for posting the video, Laura. I remember the first time I watched each of Lidia17's videos on Palingates and even after watching them several times later they always have the same impact. Excellent work, Lidia17. I hadn't thought of it until reading the last post, I agree the videos are a good way to try to explain to others who ask about Sarah's pregnancy.

Lydia and Laura,

So glad you are working together...

And I'm getting a strange feeling that the Rupert Murdoch scandal is about to become much, much, bigger and may have repercussions here in the US.

First Osama, then Rupert? And where will Sarah come out?

Stay tuned.

For anyone interested in spending a few minutes to read this seminal 'Palin's Deceptions' blogpost, and especially the comments, take a look at what we were talking about TWO YEARS AGO on Audrey's blog:

http://palindeception.blogspot.com/2009/08/cornerstone-part-2.html

Without a doubt, great strides have been made since then, e.g. Gryphen's "Tale of Two Babies" (Feb,'10), Lydia17's videos, new photos, fake belly analyses, Brad's treatise, Laura's experts' opinions, published books, and more. Yet I can't help but notice where we are today - daresay, nearly the exact same place as in August, 2009. We're still putting up the same photos for comparison, and coming to the same conclusions. (Actually, that's good, because we've double and triple checked our evidence.)

And why are we still at virtually the same place, we ask? Because, even though all of us intelligent people have unraveled 99% of what likely happened, the MEDIA will simply not cooperate. The MSM is owned by only 6-7 giant corporations, and they have an agenda which supercedes ours. They are more self-serving than to allow the truth to be exposed; to do so would betray their own money-hungry interests. 'Patriotism', 'honesty', and 'transparency' are anathema to their grand plan.

They ask themselves, "How many 'clicks' about a fake pregnancy might this garner?" Well, TONS. But how long will this click and eyeball $$$ hold out? They say, "Not long enough - maybe only for a 24-48 hour news cycle. If we expose the fake pregnancy in all its lurid detail (which they surely have intuited at least part of by now), Sarah will be scorned, reviled, and fade away right from under our wallets. The money stream will dry up! Therefore, we must maintain the blindfolded charade."

They will say, "But we've poured millions into our barely-functioning puppet so that she could further our fundie/corporate agendas, yet we can't end up with egg on our faces, either. Basically, we blew the biggest story since Watergate, but we can't let anyone figure that out."

Even going back to the Journolist leak of 2008, we know that Trig's "birth" was questioned, yet deemed an unbroachable topic - "too personal and sensitive", they determined. BS, BS, BS!! They were too worried about where their next Lexus or alpine skiing trip was coming from. Oh, NO - no tinfoil hat would ever be found on any of *their* heads.

I'd welcome being proven wrong, but I still think the Trig we now know was a conveniently well-timed political plant (possible adoption) and Fundie vote-garnering ace in the hole. Face it - there's been a concerted effort to obfuscate birth dates, scrub photos, shape-shift, and throw us off the scent for 3 long years. It's worked so far, since only a few - even back in 2009 - were coming to the realization that round-eared RNC Trig #2 dropped out of the sky (possibly via CBJ, Franklin Graham, or Gina Loudon) on 4-18-08 for a REASON.

IMO, Trig #1 is Ruffles, born very preemie early Feb. 2008, birthed by Bristol. We've unraveled most of it now, by dint of thousands of hours of analysis and millions of comments. We are far from being "had", and are in fact stronger, due to more people having been exposed to the incontrovertible facts of the hoax, and seeing things with fresh eyes. We've traveled an arduous road, and are now very close.

Sarah obviously did not birth Trig - ever. Tripp wasn't born on 12-27-08. The "Tripp" baby on Greta Van S's Feb '08 show was not 2 months old - he was huge. "Ruffles" is a person, and several Trigs have been shown. We have an arsenal of circumstantial evidence amassed, and now our goal must be to get the simple premise of a faked pregnancy out to the public, knowing that we have our backup at the ready when the inevitable incredulity arises. Two+ years ago, we were sure we were on the cusp of the public reveal, but even the friendly books we thrilled in anticipation of have failed us so far.

Am I furious? You bet. That Sarah Palin has been allowed to shred my country's heritage and dignity has me spitting mad. If I could afford a full-page ad in the NY Times, I'd buy it. If Alaska allowed billboards, I'd rent one. Does anyone here have ANY idea how we're going to crack the MSM armor?

In closing my rant, and thank you for bearing with me, I'm buoyed by the positive energy Laura's blog is generating. Because we're on the correct side of it, the truth will out.

Correcting my sentence above, I meant to say "Greta Van S's 'Feb. 2009' show", not 2008.

Maybe Weebly will give us an edit function one day :-)

THanks Laura, and thanks Lidia17.

note--IM has a copy of National Enquirer story breaking babygate, with interviews with Brad and Geoffrey etc. In the past i might dismiss NE however, they did get the Edwards baby story right---and when politicians put otherwise private matters out there like their resume, whether with Edwards it was his happy marriage to a strong woman or with Palin, as we discuss, it is appropriate for journalists to check these presentations of fact.

Thank you for showing the "Perfidy" video. I hope that both parts are well preserved for posterity. I don't think that any rational person can watch them without concluding the Sarah Palin is not Trig's biological mother. (My last sentence may be a triple negative but it's true nonetheless!) Hopefully the day will come when they are shown on MSM television news programs.

Lidia17's 3 fabulous videos have made it much easier for "newbies" to comprehend what "babygate" is all about. Otherwise, one would have to forage through hundreds of blog posts to find answers, and people are just too damn lazy to make that effort. Obviously, most "journalists" are likewise too lazy to comb through all the evidence that has been gathered since they prematurely dismissed it in September 2008.

Lidia17's third video is especially helpful to hear Sarah's contradictions in her own voice:

One of the things that Lidia mentions is the difficulty of obtaining these images. It would be great if she could elaborate - although given what happened to Mercede's computer (and homework) we have a pretty good idea. However, specifics make the story stronger.

Thank god for the tenacity and dedication of the bloggers.

We know shomething is amiss in Sarah Palin. Her mind? Her pathology? She is not the devoted mother covering for her daughter, she is devious and coniving, malicious and vindictive, and above all power mad. She wanted to be POTUS and will do anything and everything she can to claw her way into that position, with the help of mendatious and devious men like Rupert Murdoch.

He is now under scrutiny. So is Palin.

The article is in the National Examiner not the National Enquirer according to other people. I know I glanced at the article myself and assumed it was the National Enguirer, simply because I don't read these rags, but glance at them at the checkout counter of the supermarkets as we all do.

If it takes that to wake up the National Media to their responsabilities why so be it.

Wake up, wake up... Turn off your snooze alarm. You have been sleeping since 2008, and it it 2011. Do you really want to deal with it in 2012 or will you do your job properly?

Personally I think the March 14 photo nails her. There is no Trig.

I can well understand her reluctance to wear an empathy suit.

In a way she didn't care, because she assumed that people would consider her covering for Bristol admirable and a private matter. So she got away with it till now.

I don't know if Bristol is Trig biological mother, but I do think she is Ruffles biological mother.

Men don't want to go there. They prefer the sexy babe image that Sarah Palin prefers to project in public.

It is mostly we women who know what pregnancy actually is who are outraged at the deception practiced.

Sarah is not a noble woman, and she certainly wasn't covering for Bristol, she was furthering her anti abortion credentials.

I'm sorry to be a pest, but I need some help. I want to see the hacked photo, but I can't find it over at Sarah's site. Is there a functioning link to it? Thanks.

I would also like to thank all of you for your efforts, to include bloggers, and also the efforts of the commentors on the blogs. Most (exclude trolls) show a single minded determination to uncover the truth about the Palins that is very impressive and kind of scary. I wouldn't want any of you to get after me, so I think that I will just behave myself to keep that from ever happening.

As for Sister Sarah, she has played the part of the media cash cow for three years now. It seems to me that they have finally decided that the cow has gone dry. Rolling Thunder, the bus vacation, and the film release have sealed her fate. They paid a lot to put her there and now the only way they have to cash in is to take Sarah out. Maybe they have just saved the baby story for last, as they know it is the big payout, and from there, all the gates should keep her in the news for a long time. Ca-ching!

I would also like to reiterate my position that Bristol is the biological mother of both boys. I know that the dominionists have a very dangerous part to play in this whole scheme (Sarah as VP), but I just don't think supplying Sarah with a stranger's child is where they fall into this hoax.

Sarah had plenty of pro-life credibility, she did not need to adopt a stranger's baby. It does not seem to be in her character to take care of her own children, let alone a child that did not belong to her. She could have used a stand-in child a few times, but not permanently.

This same thing happens in a lot of families, Bristol was a promiscuous teen, and made a few mistakes. Sarah's relentless ambition, and inability to tell the truth (learned from Chuck?) brought us all to this point. And just as an aside, I would not be at all surprised to learn that the whole pregnancy hoax was Chuckie's idea.

@Allie, AFAIK there was only a reference to a photo. We don't know what the photo shows or where it came from, I don't think.

@Victoria, it's hard for me to pin that down, in that it's my opinion based on seeing the effort that Audrey, Patrick and company—with the help of commenters and anonymous persons in Alaska—put into collecting the meagre handful of photos from that period that we DO have. Several of the photos I used were taken by private individuals, because the "official" sources of such images dried up.

And in fact, three years later, we have not really added at all to our "album" at least as far as Sarah herself is concerned.

Commenters at Audrey's reported seeing photos on some web sites disappear from one minute to the next. A Clean Sweep was being made, of photos that someone thought could be potentially damning.

Notice that Mr. AlaskaHDTV will not sell his B-roll footage: why not? That's untoward difficulty in obtaining a photographic record.

See Barb Dyer's post on his interactions with those folks: http://terminalhypocrisy.blogspot.com/2010/03/why-is-alaska-hdtv-lying-to-us.html

Why doesn't FOX have an HD video up of their masterwork "Sarah Palin: An American Woman", showcasing their Queen? Elan Frank's footage would have a lot to tell us, but it's been bought up and scuttled by Murdoch. Which led to people dredging up second-hand crappy copies against all odds, and handing them around like smudged and blurry samizdat copies of banned poetry. This is what we are reduced to in the US of A.

Sarah Palin TV has some footage, but edited out all the "good" parts, naturally.

So, I stand by my characterization. I would certainly love to her more details from anyone regarding the particulars, certainly… anyone who will go on record as to the disappearing photos on the State of Alaska site, in particular.

I have never seen this film, but bravo! I would send it to as many journalists as I possibly could. Surely someone will pick up on it. I posted it at The Orlando Sentenal in the Undefeated review post and challenged the Payme supporters to watch it. I can't wait for their reactions.
Thanks for your efforts Laura. You are doing a great job and a great service. As an aside, I find it interesting that the sites that are dedicated to exposing this fraud are all run by educated and accomplished people. Malia Litman. Joe McGinnis, both of the 'gates sites and Jessie too!

lilly lilly, I think you nailed it:
"I don't know if Bristol is Trig biological mother, but I do think she is Ruffles' biological mother."
I would really like to have the opinion of an ENT about the malformed ear(s). I have never seen an ear with such a malformed helix AND a hole in front of the normal opening to the ear itself. Did Bristol take Accutane while she was pregnant? Some other drug(s), either legally prescribed or illicit?

Conscious at last!

7/9/2011 03:39:40 am

I am in this for the long haul-- it's where my heart is. Why? Babygate is very important to reveal-- because it goes to the core of trusting ourselves and not getting our "truth" from external authorities. That lesson goes well beyond Mrs. Quitty Pants.

Sarah Palin has actually done us a great favor. She was ignorant and delusional enough to think that her creepy lounge act would "play in Peoria" and beyond. Just imagine the mentality of a person who is the governor of a state and who thinks she can pull off such a ridiculous hoax!!?!? Did she really think that people would not notice her flat belly? It's not like a lie that has a finite energy-- faking a pregnancy is forever!!! So thank you Sarah Palin for giving us this opportunity to develop our skills and become this wonderful community.

.... and since SP& Co. are such an unhealthy group, there will be many, many "gates" to reveal and write about- from babygate to dairygate to Todd -as- a -Pimp gate and on and on and on.
They created this themselves folks, we are just shining the light on them.

You asked for attention, Granny Grifter-- but I guess this is not the kind of attention you had in mind.

With Murdoch facing the music in England Sarah's time at Faux will peter out. He was hoping for another Margaret Thatcher, and what he got was Screechy Grizzly Mom.

I would assume Palin got her idea of visiting Margaret Thatcher from her boss Rupert. I doubt she even knew who Margaret Thatcher was. She is very ignorant and very provincal in her very spotty knowledge of world affairs, geography, history American or World.

A rube in the old derisive term. Or as her McCain handlers called her, "The Hick on the HIGH WIRE".

Good for Hugh Grant. He may have taken Murdoch for the biggest fall of Murdoch and his long reign as a press Lord. Maker of Prime Ministers (first one Margaret Thatcher) and backer of Sarah Palin.

NOW he, Hugh Grant is someone who could run for Prime Minister. He is an actor, and many are thoughtful men, not narcissistic idiots. He certainly has brains and integrity.

And LOL he wouldn't be beholden to Murdoch or allow his meddling.

Leona

7/9/2011 03:49:51 am

If Bristol did give birth to Ruffles, what happened to him/her? Died? Adopted by someone outside the family/community/state? A baby with DS would be more socially acceptable to $arah, of course, so she probably had her friend, CBJ, keep a lookout for a baby to adopt.

The paucity of photographic evidence is stunning. There must be many photographers up in Alaska sitting on pictures they are too afraid to release. Has anyone ever put in a FOI request for the photos that were scrubbed from the Alaska Government website? Would that even be possible?

We have sometimes made lists of how many people would need to have been "in the know." I suspect we could add the name of whoever did the scrubbing to that list.

Grateful here to Laura for the forum and to Lidia for the videos. I've sent links for them to three friends who expressed interest in knowing more, and one of them just called to say that your Wild Ride video convinced her 100% that Sarah did not birth Trig. One at a time, that's how we'll do it.

Thank you, Lidia!

PS my favorite part is the birth scene! and the mental image of Sarah risking that. Sometimes the most powerful facts can be the peripheral ones.

There are multiple other videos in the adjacent video choices here, too. the Perfidy of Palin takes the cake, however this one, too, is good because it's on an actual news program... very early in the process. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vyg-jprmUS0&feature=player_embedded

Poke around... the information is so resoundingly obvious that she faked this pregnancy that it is a shock it has not exploded. Yet.

There are two pieces of this puzzle that I cannot put my mind around. First is Ivy Frye. We know that she worked in Sarah Palin's Governor's Office and that she is so loyal that she will do anything for Sarah. She is highly paid by Sarah's PAC but her role is to be Tripp's baby sitter and Bristol's damage control officer. When Bristol went to be on Dancing with the Stars, Ivy lived in California with Bristol and Tripp. She is the one pictured as helping Bristol and Trip move into the Arizona house. She accompanies Bristol to talk shows (with Tripp at the View this week) and at the book signings she is responsible for Tripp. She is more like Bristol's mom than Sarah and more like Brisol's Grandma than Sally. She is Bristol's rock but it was Sarah who made the comment about Bristol's book slamming Levi being so refreshing and exciting and Sarah who told Bristol that she should do a poll dance or wear a g string on Dancing with the Stars.

Britt (Track's new wife) --she is the trusted nanny for Trig. As an 18 year old, Sarah gave her the title of Executive Secretary to the Governor. When Trig was born, Britt became his Nanny. She is always behind the scenes with Trig--when Sarah was nominated to be McCain's running mate, Britt was responsible for Trig whenever he wasn't being used as a political prop. When Bristol was living in her condo in Anchorage, Britt and Trig were also there. When Sarah built the recording studio in the building next door to the Palin house, she said that Track and Britt would be living there. Trig knows Britt better than Sarah, who is gone so often that she never has really bonded with Trig like Todd has. When Track came home from the service, Sarah went to Britt and begged her to see that Track didn't get in trouble again and would not embarrass her on the campaign trail.

Both Britt and Ivy are close mouthed about the Palin family business and are very highly paid by the Sarah PAC. They are loyal and willing to work at all hours and are flexible so they can travel wherever their services are needed.

7/10/2011 11:06:57 am

Laura, can you explain how the media might spin babygate, were it ever to break? At this point the national media will, nearly to a journalist, look utterly incompetent if it ever breaks. They will look as bad as the GOP leadership, who put her forward as competent and trustworthy enough to be a heartbeat away from the presidency. I don't see how either group could ever let this story go public.

Laura, have you and/or Dr. Scharlott seen this picture, which I found in the ADN archives?

http://www.adn.com/2008/08/29/v-gallery/509850/sarah-palin-biography.html#id=510336&view=large_view

Sarah Palin is (evidently, counting back from Piper's birthdate; date of picture ~2 weeks prior to assumed date of conception) NOT pregnant in this picture, but plainly enough she did not have "tight abs" or more accurately tight abdominal muscles, after birthing 3 previous offspring.

Even not pregnant, she looks more pregnant in any of the available pictures of her in late 2007/early 2008.

Just for the fun of it, I lightened the picture, for better contrast of her ubiquitous black clothing (didn't help much, though).
