New Bolton Accuser Has Background As New-Age Cosmic Activist-(lectures on "recovered memories")
A.I.M.ORG ^ | APRIL 25, 2005 | CLIFF KINCAID

Posted on 04/25/2005 2:43:39 PM PDT by CHARLITE

Accuracy in Media (AIM) has learned that John Bolton's new accuser, Lynne D. Finney, who claims that he yelled at her more than 20 years ago, is a controversial speaker on the subject of "recovered memories" and charges $90 an hour for "conversations" on how to find "inner peace."

"One wonders if Ms. Finney 'recovered' her memories of Bolton through hypnosis or New Age spiritual techniques," declared Cliff Kincaid, editor of AIM.

Described in anti-Bolton press accounts as just a "motivational speaker," Finney is an activist who proclaims on her website that "We are becoming One" and that, "Like popcorn, we are all popping faster and are reaching enlightenment at a rapid rate."

Finney, whose anti-Bolton charges have been the subject of stories in the Los Angeles Times, USA Today and other papers, also claims to have been taught by "Tibetan monks and Master Nome in Santa Cruz, California." Master Nome is a Hindu religious teacher. Finney was described by The New York Times as "a leading practitioner of recovered-memory therapy, including the use of self-hypnosis, a practice that some studies have shown can result in the creation of false memories."

"In this new millennium, we entered an era of human evolution where we can reinvent ourselves and create new realities," the Finney website declares.

yeah, Liberalism is a sickness, but wobbly RINOs falling in line with Christopher Dodd is worse.
Bolton's nomination is dead thanks to the RINOs. My guess is we will hear Voinovich, Chaffee and one or two other Republicrats talking about the "seriousness of the charges"
And they have the nerve not only to ask for my vote, but also to ask for money. Not another dime for the Senate Republicans

From her website: "...When she began recovering memories of having been abused by her father, Lynne went back to graduate school to earn a masters degree in clinical social work and became a psychotherapist, in order to heal herself and others. "

This woman is a dangerous nutter.

So yelling at a subordinate, rightly or wrongly, 20 years ago is grounds to be denied Senate conformation? Zounds!

Well .. ROTFLOL .. I had to take a break there to try to stop laughing.

Anytime you mention Santa Cruz - it causes me to laugh - because Santa Cruz was well-established as the DRUGGIE HIDEOUT for all the Hippies of the 60's-80's. In fact - I believe they have laws which allow certain types of drug use, etc.

Santa Cruz used to be a beautiful coastal city where I spent many a day with my high school friends at the beach - but the hippies destroyed it. It is a RAT-hole of liberalism.

You're right .. LIBERALISM IS INDEED A SICKNESS!

And .. this "repressed memory" stuff has been debunked so many times .. it has put many counselors out of business because all they succeeded in doing was dividing families by having one of the children declare the dad was molesting them - when no such thing every took place. A couple of lawsuits - that won - was all that it took to shut that garbage down.

The only "repressed memory" democrats should have was when they once were normal.

You would hope they were digging a hole, but you may still not get it about the influence of the old/lying/liberal media. The old liberal media will never tell ANY people about Hillary's tantrums, and, the new media will only reach a small percentage on the story of her "anger management problems".

The democrats are digging no hole on Hillary and her ashtrays and lamps............. thanks to the old media who is promoting her, and has been promoting her since 1969 when she spewed her absurd socialist/new age baloney at her Wellesley commencement..

*****

Remember when Hillary was roundly booed at the New York City 9/11 Concert? Remember that old Murray Rothstein/Sumner Redstone and Viacom kindly removed the boos to protect Hillary? Remember?

What percentage of American voters do you think know that Hillary was roundly booed at that affair, how many American voters know that she is disdained and why she is disdained enough to be booed off the stage? Why don't they know this?

You must see the problem............. and if you do, let's fight the problem and not argue that it does not exist.

****

The old/liberal/socialist/Dem. media is the most ruthlessly evil and destructive force in this country....... and that fact must be exposed to the rest of the voters.

"The old liberal media will never tell ANY people about Hillary's tantrums"

Well .. they don't have to - it's already been told - there are books upon books upon books all about Hillary's actions and Hillary's schemes, etc.

And .. just so you know .. during impeachment the "media" (which you are so afraid of) said that 75% of the American public did not want Clinton removed from office. However, just one year later .. the "media" never mentioned that the very same 75% had changed their minds and believed Clinton should have been removed.

Now .. explain how that could happen without your precious "media" making a case for it ..?? It happened because of the NEW MEDIA - and the truth finally got out and the AMERICAN PUBLIC found out what was really going on and your precious "media" didn't have a thing to do with getting the truth out.

So .. while you insist the "media" is so all-powerful - they didn't do a very good job with their 75% loving Clinton. Oh yeah .. and when Clinton left office - his personal approval rating was 25%. Geeeeee .. how did I find that out without your precious "media" ..??

And .. you can dispense with your snide little remarks "you still don't get it". You're the one who doesn't get it. It's right there in black and white and yet you refuse to believe the "old media" has lost at least 50-60% of their power and they only continue to decline. Whether you choose to believe it or not - does not make it untrue.
