Thanks you just called to my attention a detail I haven't paid
much attention to in the past. That's very good observation on your
part, one that likely goes by the biggest majority of people.
---------------
How often we miss details, like at speeches who is sitting next to
who; Why is that guy got such a poker face., or that other one obviously bored.
Also some one might want to pass on ex President
Bush, that I can and do read lips ,
( and I'm sure I'm not the only one )
often I tape the goings on then go back and look at
certain details and body language, I note were people are
talking that we can't hear , turn the volume off and zero in on a
few words they say when they think no one is listening. <G>
I also note the ones who ( try to look inconspicuous as they
cover their lips while talking to the person next to them )
At hearings it's most notable among law enforcement bigwigs
They funniest one was some years ago Before Reagan was President.
When a camera zoomed in and I caught Reagan in a privet box
Where Nixon had just won the Nomination and was declaring victory.
With a very aggravated look on Regans face he turned to Nancy and asked "What did that S.O.B. say " the words were perfectly formed..( he hated Nixons Guts ) but he had heard his own name mentioned by Nixon
and had missed the context..( in which he was being called on to
come down on the stage to show his support ) which he did
and with hugs and all..Reagan was the easiest one when it came
to lip reading. I guess with his acting and all the way he
articulated caused his lips to form perfect words.
---------------
I don't know that this talent has been much of a blessing for me
or not, as I've read enough lips over time to know our leaders are phony and I have not found any exceptions. But I tend to think a few
are worse than others. Both Nixon and Reagan were out and out
deviants Bush was bad, but didn't seem as bad as either of them,
yet he had CIA training and I know how that may have been able to fool me.
----------
About the CIA
I don't think most people think about just how many strings the
CIA can pull and that as an organization how it has grown in power to
were they also become very subject to corruption.
I believe they have come to feel they have the right to a privet agenda based on an ideology, and that their agenda is so "right" in their mind it does not need to conform with the limits or tenets that our political system would place on them, and they have often far exceeded the bounds they were originally meant to have as an Intelligence gathering organization.
I have been alarmed at times as I became aware they have deliberately feed even our Presidents miss information on more than one
occasion; that's a hell of a statement for me to make, being it's
one I know I can't prove. <G>
But I'm coming to see them as a clear and present danger to all
American is supposed to stand for, they have just become to
powerful. Between them, the FBI , and now the ATF, there is not
one person left in our Politics that they can't make or break.
There seems to be both good and evil in their history, an
organization we couldn't have lived without , but gets so
powerful it evolves into one that we can't live with.
