Christine Ford Signed Letter Against Trump Border Policy
Heavy.com ^

Posted on 09/16/2018 10:53:23 PM PDT by TigerClaws

Christine Ford – whose full name is Christine Blasey Ford – signed a letter with other health professionals demanding that President Donald Trump stop his controversial policy on family separations at the border. She signed the letter as Christine Blasey, and it was used as an exhibit in an ACLU lawsuit against the Trump administration.

The Washington Post reports that she is a “registered Democrat who has made small contributions to political organizations.” A review of federal campaign finance records shows donations earmarked for Bernie Sanders, the Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. (You can see screenshots later in this article.)

Christine Blasey Ford’s letter may stem from her research into “child maltreatment issues.” For example, she is the co-author on a journal article titled, “Does Gender Moderate the Relationship Between Childhood Maltreatment and Adult Depression?” The abstract for that journal – one of many research articles she’s been involved in – reads in part: “In a sample of 5,673 adult Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) patients, the authors employed the Patient Health Questionnaire-8 (PHQ-8) to assess major depressive disorder (MDD) and the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) to assess five different types of childhood maltreatment: emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, as well as emotional and physical neglect.”

Christine Ford burst into the news when she came forward on September 16, 2018 to The Washington Post and revealed that she was the anonymous woman who has accused Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct in high school – accusations that Kavanaugh has strenuously denied. In the interview with The Post, Ford accused Kavanaugh of pinning her down and groping her before she escaped; she says another high school friend of Kavanaugh’s named Mark Judge was in the room. Judge, a D.C.-based writer, previously told The Weekly Standard – before Christine Blasey Ford was named – that the account was false. Christine Blasey Ford is a professor at Palo Alto University, in California.

The Kavanaugh nomination is exceptionally high stakes because he would replace centrist Justice Anthony Kennedy on the highest court. California voter registration look up databases require personal identifying information, such as partial social security number and ID. Her Facebook page and LinkedIn page appear to have been deleted, although it’s not clear when. However, the letter that Ford signed – and her research – give more of a sense of her life’s work and interests intellectually and help flesh out the biography of Kavanaugh’s accuser. U.S. Senator, Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat to whom Ford came forward previously, released a statement that reads, “I support Mrs. Ford’s decision to share her story, and now that she has, it is in the hands of the FBI to conduct an investigation.”

Kavanaugh has said: “I categorically and unequivocally deny this allegation. I did not do this back in high school or at any time.”

I don’t believe her. Why not make this incident the point where denunciations of never-reported sexual misconduct going back decades stops?

This gal is obviously a left-wing, anti-Trump, pussy-hat-wearing, Bernie-Sander-donating SJW activist. For the last two years, women like her have been hysterically proclaiming Trump as some sort of cross between Hitler, Charles Manson and Attila the Hun ( without any of the good qualities of those three). And since the Kavanaugh nomination was announced, they’ve been telling us that K’s confirmation will result in the imposition of Gilead with millions of women being enslaved and forced into unwanted pregnancy. Many if not most of them really believe that stuff. So... if you really believe Trump and Kavanaugh are that bad, why WOULDN’T she lie to try to derail them? If you thought you could stop Hitler and the deaths and destruction he would cause by telling a little fib about him, would it not be worth it? That mentality is the source of this, I’m convinced of it.

Seems very similar to one of Judge Moore’s accusers, Beverly Nelson. He ruled against her in her 1999 divorce case. Why didn’t she tell her lawyer about Moore’s alleged assault and get a different judge?

And now we know why a grudge might be part of this accusation against Kavanaugh.

Saw it posted but haven’t been able to verify.

Also saw she scrubbed her Facebook. One rumor is she had posted in 2016 we don’t need any more “Scalia type judges.” Again, not verified.

The other person she named as being in the room during the alleged assault denies that it ever happened and he was contacted by the New Yorker three days ago.

She originally told her therapist she was assaulted by four boys. Later changed that to four were in the house and two in the room.

Barry Sotero admitting to smoking pot and using cocaine when he was in high school. Back then we were told it wasn’t relevant.

Didn’t the feminists say years ago (in defense of Bill Clinton), that men are allowed “one grope” of something similar?

Missing pieces of the story:
Year...Month...Day?
City...Street...Address?
Name of the home owners or student?

What was her age at the time?
Why was she wearing a bathing suit?
What were the boys wearing?
What was her alcohol intake?
Were drugs involved and if so who was taking what?

Who did she tell immediately and over time?
Who used the words used to describe the boy's school.

Solid facts are missing. Why?

Since July she has told at least one person according to a story in the East Bay Times and she is being called a “truth teller” (apparently by colleagues and fellow researchers.)
Although she is not the 1st author, the quality of the publications may give a clue to her actual devotion to objective truth.

For now, she appears to be withholding at least some of the truth.

Feminists have made any activity that a woman does not initiate or give explicit consent into an offense. But that was not in place in the 80’s. This appears to interpret past events from a current perspective.

In 2012 most therapists would have discussed research claims that making a complaint about past abuse (to a Bar Association or licensing agency for example) has been reported to bring closure and a sense of empowerment and in itself yield positive results. Is this discussed in the notes?

Too much of this is having the cake and eating it too.

No real time investigation, no forensic evidence, no deposition, no oath, no disclosure, no cross examination. Just feeding the media.

If this were taken to court, the full record of therapy notes would be reviewed by the court. That itself might be very informative.

Apart from her editorial comments, the “assault” appears boorish, inept and clownish. In the 80’s I don't think most teenagers would have perceived an assault.

Here is a student evaluation of her as a professor from 2014

“Prof. Ford is unprofessional, lacks appropriate filters, and I am honestly scared of her. She’s made comments both in class and in e-mails, if you cross her, you will be on her bad side. I fear to think of the poor clients that had to deal with her while she got her MSW and her LCSW. Absolutely the worst teacher I ever had.”

You’re spot on.

That’s not her. There are 2 Christine Fords working as professors in California. The one you cited who has an MSW and teaches at Cal State Fullerton. K’s accuser is a different woman with a ph.d who teaches at a school that calls itself Palo Alto University.

Thanks for the factual clarification.

If we were Demoncrats the facts would not matter.

Her age would have been 15 since
she was born in 1953. Kavanaugh
was born in 1951.
No way in hell I’d let my 15
year old daughter party in a
strangers house without me
knowing where she was, or
who she was with. This allegation
is pure BS. Even a liberal cares
for the welfare of their child.

Christine Ford’s Parents Paula K Blasey and Ralph G Blasey were the Defendants in a foreclosure case in Maryland in 1996. Guess who the Judge was America? None other than Brett Kavanaugh’s mother, Martha G Kavanaugh.
