Have not seen DC McAllister mentioned on the Freeper/Kav threads. She went to college w Ford and has a lot to say of interest. She’s a long time conservative columnist.

The real authorities will tell you that hypnosis has zero validity as an aid to memory. Too many distortions can occur, including totally false memories; memories of dreams, fantasies, even something seen in a movie or read in a book can mistakenly be thought to be memories of real events; a common distortion is the “memories” become more elaborate, detailed, and realistic-sounding with repeated telling,

No competent ethical practitioner would use hyponosis for memory recall. None. After the false memory epidemic of the 90’s, too many former leaders in the field ended up in other lines of work, their malpractice insurers decidedly poorer.

This exposure should cast a devastating cloud over this shill’s credibility, if she still has any left at this point.

I studied hypnosis and did some hypnotherapy sessions for people several years ago. My teachers made the point that with hypnosis one is dealing with a client's perceptions, not with truth. Also, that it is too easy to ask leading questions which the client will find easier to go along with. This problem is even more magnified with children. So a good hypnotist doesn't ask, for example, "Who raped you" because the client may fantasize an answer. Instead the hypnotist should ask "What's happening" and let the client describe the event, following up with "And then", "Then what" type questions.

I don't believe any "recovered memories" can be considered reliable unless subsequently verified by evidence.

She has very strong and long term CIA connection with the ex director, John Brennon. Their mutual hatred of all things Trump is clear cut conspiracy. The CIA is uniquely equipped to facilitate the entire Ford matter. If the FBI looks into this they will hit paydirt.

actually hypnosis is a great way to induce false memories.

You see, those who are easily hypnotized also are easily influenced by the one inducing the trance. So they often lie and change their story to “please” the interviewer.

True, when you have a story, sometimes hypnosis (which is deep concentration where you block out distractions) will help you remember details. But even then, it is easy to “remember” false stuff.

that is why evidence from hypnosis (like lie detector tests) are not admissible in court.

Kavanaugh was in the news at the time and there was a bit of hysteria in the pro choice feminists, so if Dr. Ford “remembered” her abuse under hypnosis, she could easily have “remembered” him (i.e. put his name in the blank) as being the perpetrator because she needed a name and his name came to mind.

Myself, my take is that the “incident” was not something that should cause a normal person to get all hyper. Heck, he didn't even get her clothing off, nor did he punch her and tell her to put ice on her swollen lip. Nor did she run downstairs screaming and crying.

But one does wonder if K was the perpetrator.

well...this "ONE" doesn't wonder at all !

there is NOT ONE SHRED of anything in this man's entire life to suggest he did this or anything else like this to anyone.

in the light of all that is known about this case, if you can still say you "WONDER",about Judge Kavanaugh, please promise that you will never sit on a jury where a man's life hangs in the balance.

thanks

Very interesting article linking Ford’s family to very high level CIA persons.....her father was a key CIA banker that funded MK Ultra Program at Stanford......where she works for ‘the company’ now as a undergrad recruiter....

“Sorry folks ... a quick review of all her publications ... there is absolutely no way a woman that accomplished in publishing peer reviewed results could convince me her little 10 year old show in from of the country was not fake.”

Actually referring to her by her title, “Dr. Ford,” does a lot to undermine her credibility for the very reason you just stated. She has just the professional background to enable her to cook her own brain. Add to that her being a virulent, radical feminist and you’ve got a slam dunk.
