Why Blasey Ford's Accusations Against Kavanaugh Are Not Credible

I'm 3 years younger Christine Blasey Ford. I grew up in an elite Seattle neighborhood, hanging around country club type places, going to tennis camps, and living in the culture of a girl coming to age in a wealthy enclave in the 1980's. That is not said to impress anybody. It just goes to show that I have an idea what kind of circles she walked in. Having read through the Holton-Arms yearbook pages from that era, I can say that the level of partying among those girls makes the Seattle 80's scene look mellow by comparison. They seemed to be doing college level partying while still living with their parents.

I am not predisposed to blame the victim, or to believe that women should not be heard. While I'm not going to out the survivors in my life, they include several women whose entire life was marred by the horror of sexual abuse. I myself did have several #MeToo moments, which I also don't care to detail here. Suffice to say that my perspective on this is broad, and contains no pre judgement on what a woman should or shouldn't be able to say about her own experiences. And I know what not being believed can do to a woman.

But rather than making me rush into a #MeToo default postion on Professor Blasey's accusations, these experiences lead me to believe that she is lying. I don't just think she is embellishing a little, I think she is outright lying.

Her story contains just enough details to suggest the following horrific elements were present (and emblazen them in the minds and hearts of many #MeToo followers):

"Kavanaugh physically pushed me into a bedroom as I was headed for a bathroom up a short stair well from the living room. They locked the door and played loud music precluding any successful attempt to yell for help."

She states that it was Kavanaugh, pushing her from behind, and not Mark Judge. That's an interesting detail for such a murky memory, and the fact that people don't have eyes in the back of their heads. This is an accusation of kidnapping and assault, as well as attempted rape. These elements from her story reinforce this claim:

1- she was pushed physically forced into a room
2- a door was locked to prevent her escape
3- the music was turned up to prevent others from stopping the assault

In order for Kavanaugh to have committed the above, he had to have possessed both the desire to hurt a woman in such a way, and the awareness beforehand that this was his intent, otherwise the kidnapping scenario don't make much sense. Why would you need to push a girl into a room against her will, lock the door, and turn up the music unless you intended to harm somebody? You would need to do none of these things if you had a willing participant. So clearly, Kavanaugh had to have intented to commit this act from the get go, in order for the allegations above to be true.

As a psychologist, Blasey Ford knows very well that the crime of rape is about violence, not a crime of opportunism. Men who commit rape are more interested in hurting their victims and gaining power over them, than achieving any kind of sexual satisfaction. Make no mistake about it: she is accusing Brett Kavanaugh not of 1 bad moment of judgement; but of being fundamentally, a bad man.

Many women in the #MeToo movement have talked about their awful experiences with dates gone bad, and guys who didn't want to take NO for an answer. These guys are assholes. But they are different than out right rapists. A guy like Harvey Weinstein, for example - took his actual pleasure out of treating women in an awful manner. Many of his victims were already willing to hook up with him - but that wasn't what got Harvey off. He took pleasure from their pain, their fear, the fact that he could do whatever he wanted to anybody. Nearly everybody on the planet agrees that Weinstein is a bad man.

Since there doesn't appear to be any actual corroboration for this alleged crime, we have to parse through her statement, her actions, and her life to see if we find the necessary corroboration for these claims.

"Kavanaugh was on top of me while laughing with REDACTED, who periodically jumped onto Kavanaugh. They both laughed as Kavanaugh tried to disrobe me in their highly inebriated state. With Kavanaugh's hand over my mouth I feared he may inadvertently kill me."

1- laughing during the alleged attack
2- highly inebriated
3- had a friend jumping on and off of him while he committed this crime

At the same time these actions were occurring, she claims music was music blaring loud enough to thwart any potential help from coming to her aide. It's too bad I'm not a very good or quick animator, as I'd love to pull this into my animation software and try to build this scenario. I think you'd see pretty quickly just how unlikely this sequence of actions would be. Also, she claims that she only had 1 beer. That is not in her letter, so I assume this is information she gave to Democratic representatives. The idea that a girl would only drink 1 beer, while others proceeded to get slobbering drunk - is also unbelievable. I've read she said that Kavanaugh and Judge had been drinking long before she got there, which seems like a piece of evidence as to who invited her to the party.

In addition, the idea that a person can be "inadvertantly" murdered is ridiculous. Murder by suffocation is a highly violent, difficult thing to do. Think about the "Preppy" murder by Robert Chambers, and how that guy's face looked. And he was twice her size, they were both drunk and/or on drugs, and she fought like hell. She is trying to put Kavanaugh on Chambers' level - and don't think it's not intentional. She would have lived through that murder being in the news every day in the mid/late 80s.

1- How do you know it was Kavanaugh and not Mark Judge who pushed you into the room?
2- Who locked the door?
3- Who turned up the music?
4- Was Judge already in the room, or did he come in later?
5- Did Kavanaugh lock the door, then unlock it to allow Judge in the room?
6- How did you hear Judge talking through the music? Was he yelling?

Her story requires both men to have been intending to commit kidnapping, at the very least. Two highly inebriated guys, who had to have acted in concert here. Does that seem plausible? In my experience, two wasted "laughing" guys at a high school party were more likely to spill beer on you, or even pee on you, than kidnap you. But maybe I never met 2 guys as skilled and determined as Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh.

I wonder what the statistics on teenage boys kidnapping girls would be? How about "highly inebriated" kidnapping? Then you have the real clincher in terms of credibility, and its importance cannot be overstated.

1- Christine Blasey Ford's therapist wrote down that there were 4 boys in the room during her attack

Ford says the therapist got it wrong, and only Kavanaugh and Judge were in the room. Therapists are required by law to report crimes against children are revealed during therapy to authorities. So while Blasey Ford's therapist was not required to report this crime from 36 years ago, she or he would have been trained to be extremely careful in taking notes about crimes. To write off the therapist's account as being different due to a mistake on their part is not credible. And it's very convenient if one wants to create an irrefutable allegation against Brett Kavanaugh.

Here are the elements that help create a watertight allegation against Kavanaugh:

1- she cannot remember who invited her to this party
2- she cannot remember how she got to this party
3- she cannot remember a date, or a good approximation
4- she cannot remember where this party took place
5- she cannot remember how she got home (no witnesses to verify or dispute her account)

I don't think not telling anybody in and of itself means it didn't happen. I don't know if I ever told anybody about my situations, as they occurred abroad and I left relatively soon for home. It seems quite believable that few 15 year old girls would tell their parents. But it does make it more likely that this attack did not take place as described. Why? Because if the attack took place just as she described, she should have had a very good motivation to tell a few friends: to protect them from this pair of predators. Many girls keep a diary (I did) - especially girls oriented towards academia and writing. Did she keep one? Does she remember writing it there? I'm guessing not.

She claims this attack psychologically derailed her for up to 5 years. So basically for the entire rest of her teenage years. Ok. So we'd expect to see some evidence for that. The women I've known who suffered teenage or earlier attacks did in fact go through some really hard times. Some things affected:

1- bad grades
2- withdrawing socially (not joining teams, etc)
3- hanging out with bad crowd
4- using drugs/alcohol
5- bad behavior at home with parents, trouble with siblings
6- promiscuity or total abstinence

While Christine Blasey Ford did such a thorough job of scrubbing her internet trail that we don't know much about her at all - we do know that she was a cheerleader at Holton-Arms, an extremely elite private school. We also know that she didn't abstain or stay away from the social scene, and in fact bartended at some point at a hip spot in a summer hotspot for teens. So she didn't go the route of avoidance of the party lifestyle that lead to her own kidnapping and attempted rape.

We know she had good enough grades to get into the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill - where the minimum grade average for acceptance was probably a 3.5 or above. She went on to get an MA and even a PhD - so obviously her ability to study was not derailed. She went on to marry a successful, professional guy with a PhD from Stanford - and had 2 sons, and now spends her time between mothering, teaching, and surfing at her 2nd home in Santa Cruz.

Sorry if that doesn't match up very well to a person whose life was so badly derailed, that they would now feel it their "civic duty" to destroy another person's life. Her story in fact reeks of having been very carefully crafted to maximize both the ability to destroy the accused, and the inability to refute it. Her recent comments to friends about a fear of flying due to this event, and her claustrophobia being a product of this 36 year old hazy trauma, all point to a very calculated scripting.

We are left with one and only one conclusion: Christine Blasey Ford is lying.

Exactly! Have you noticed the only image she and her Palo Alto friends left online was the one that looks like it’s from a REDACTED classified brief?

Obviously intended to maker her unrecognizable.

Who the hell could erase every image of theirselves online going back 20 years other than 1?

...I can’t believe she has 2 sons. I wonder what they think about this?...

i wonder who their father is..

It is totally made up and done so by a pro. I really think they should just scrap the Kavanaugh nomination and start on the female judges hearings. It takes about 67 days to put a judge in place and there are more than 90 days that republicans will hold the senate for sure. If the “Balsey” woman continues her pursuit of Kavanaugh it can be thoroughly investigated.

One question I would like asked of her is the length this attack lasted. From the sound of what she described it was minutes totaling under 30. It sounds as if it were a clumsy attempt that failed to even a successful disrobe the victim. Now I am not saying that this might have caused trauma, but not trauma that lasts more than a few days if that long. That trauma would soon be replaced with anger, at least I think that would be the case in most instances. That anger would compel most to vent that anger among their closest friends. Since the attempted molestation was basically unsuccessful, there would be even very little if any shame that the victim would experience. So yes, she is embellishing her experience if she even had an experience like she described at all.

Thanks for the kind words. Could have polished it more - just feel SO frustrated that so many people are fooled by this story! Piggybacking onto the #MeToo is infuriating. When I say I know women that were destroyed by real, completed, attacks I’m not kidding - and it tears your heart out. She makes a mockery of their pain with her “claustrophobia” and “fear of flying”.

There are some women who embody qualities that are so beautiful, so loving, giving, and captivating, that we men can't help but hold them up on a pedestal, despite ourselves. And there are others who are nothing but lying filthy stinking whores, wallowing in their own filth. There are of course, infinite varieties in between.

The problem is that the Left, for decades, has been trying to convince all women to be whores, to abandon their greatest feminine qualities in favor of their worst, but when those women are called out on their whoredom, the Left insists that all women are Madonnas. It is, perhaps, the only time that the Left even conceives of women as virtuous people. Otherwise, it is slutwalks and abortion rallies galore.

You know a lot of bedrooms don’t even have locks on them.

I'm an engineer by trade, and I would have to confirm this but I believe an interior door in a residential dwelling cannot operate the way she describes. I found one citation from a building/fire code that explains this:

1. Locks must be installed so they shall be opened from the inside of the room without the use of a key or without requiring any special knowledge or effort.

2. Doors from individual rooms are permitted to be equipped with a night latch, dead bolt or security chain as long as such devices can be opened from the inside without the use of a key or tool.

She's full of sh!t.

Fabulous post. You saw quite a few important things that I completely missed. I casually dismissed the locked door and loud music as irrelevant fabrications, but you are completely correct on their significance.

Not only that, but her kids have been cropped out of the one you’ve seen all over the internet. That’s understandable, but I’ve seen the full photo and the age of the kids suggests it was taken 7+ years ago.

That is a good question that should be on the list.

I think a key is that she didn’t have 1 beer, but more like 3 to 5. High school girls at a drinking party don’t have that kind of self moderation to drink lightly when everyone else is or is in the process of getting wasted. You learn that kind of “stand out from the crowd” self moderation much later than 15.

So her memory of whatever she thinks happened to her is much murkier than she will admit.

My son is a year younger than her youngest. Mine would want to go into hiding - I would NEVER do something like this to him, I don’t know if I could hurt him if the health of the planet depended on it.

Can you clarify your last comment?

What picture are you referring to?

Also I have read some commentary that completely wiping the web of one’s virtual footprint is actually quite difficult. So who helped her? Someone in Silicon Valley?

thanks! Another poster rightfully pointed out that locking a door would keep others OUT but could not be used to keep you IN - but frankly I think this embellishment was meant to win hearts and minds on social media, the scary “locked door” - as this whole thing was created to put pressure on Senators from enraged MeToo’ers.

I did read her neighbor is a Google engineer, but that doesn’t mean he would have helped her with this. As a programmer I don’t know the IT side of it - I just know you are dealing with a variety of companies, from Google to Archive.org, Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, and all schools and profesional organizations and companies that have removed her profile and posting data.

My hub thinks the US Gov (NSA?) must archive social media postings, but I just don’t know about that - I read a while back that it’s done for Twitter by some East coast company that has some uber mega facility that churns through terrabytes of data a day. Anybody have any idea about that?
