After seeing the documentary “Weiner” which won best -film at the sundance Film Festival and is about Weiners attempted comeback as a NY mayoral candidate, I found the film o be very disturbing.
While there were some humorous moments throughout the film, fascinating behind the scenes footage where you can really see how political people and their teams spin things,and electrifying moments showcasing Anthony Weiner’s intense charisma, the film saddened me. Continue reading
It should come as no surprise that the year long marriage of actor Johnny Depp and Amber Heard has finally ended. Their body language showed tension and a lack of happiness and affection from Amber since the beginning when they first announced their engagement.Throughout their time together Amber was rarely seen smiling. She seemed to be miserable and repulsed by Depp in almost every photo opportunity where they were seen together. Continue reading
It didn’t stop there as Mike Gallegher said “Have you seen Kelly Clarkson? You know the singer, Kelly Clarkson? Holy cow, did she blow up,” as both he and Chris joked about Clarkson’s weight.
Mike and Chris need to offer up an apology for their insensitivity. They need to do it ASAP! How do they know Kelly isn’t taking some medication that has “blown her up” as they said. How do they know she does not have some type of medical condition or an eating disorder.
One thing we know for sure is that the woman recently had a baby. Perhaps she is retaining her baby weight. Perhaps she is content with being a mother and wants to focus on her baby and not her calorie count. Perhaps her days are so filled with motherhood and tending to her baby that she doesn’t have time for herself or for a workout. Perhaps she no longer cares about being thin and wants to live her life as she pleases and eat what she wants to eat.
Whatever the case as to Kelly Clarkson”s weight gain men who snicker and make fun of a woman;s weight speaks volumes about them and their toxicity. It is immature and secxist, not to mention insensitive and hurtful. For news men and media personalities to cut down someone’s physical appearance is unacceptable.
When women who are in the public eye gain weight it is a as though they have committed a crime in the eyes of certain people. Jessica Simpson, Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Demi Lovato, Christina Aquilera, Kelly Osborne, Kate Upton, Jennifer Lawrence, and countless others have been vilified just for putting on the pounds. It must stop and can no longer be tolerated!
Instead those like Chris Wallace and Mike Gallegher need to be vilified for their hurtful and insensitive comments. They need to be held accountable for their vulgar words and fined, suspended or be taken off the air for making fun of someone;s physical appearance.
Kelly Clarkson is happily married and a new happy mother with a gorgeous baby. She has made a lot of money, is a respected singer with a gorgeous voice and seems like a genuinely nice and kind person who hasn’t hurt anyone.
Whether she is thin or has a few pounds on her she is still the same person. Saying something derogatory abut one;s weight is as hurtful as saying something derogatory about one; sex or race, or religious beliefs. It must NOT be tolerated and those who fat shamed must be called on their Toxic Behavior and held accountable.
Former Special Agent D. Vincent Sullivan who was also head of the FBI’s behavioral Analysis Program and I teamed up to write the book Body Language of Terrorists which we highly recommend especially during these days of terror. The book tells you how to recognize terrorists and those who are involved in nefarious and malicious acts.
In the book we tell you about the terrorists body language, facial language, voice patterns and speech communication patterns which are red flags that these people may be up to no good. Our research is based on countless hours of studying the body language behaviors and speech and voice patterns of numerous terrorists from Chechnya’s Doku Umarov to the 911 bombers to the homegrown terrorists, to the Underwear bomber, the Shoe Bomber, and others to numerous to name.
For the past few days we have been doing a great deal of national media discussing the findings in our book and analyzing the body language of these two Boston terrorists.
http://www.amazon.com/Identifying-Terrorists-Through-Language-ebook/dp/B007BQFMSG
In this blog we will share our findings about these terrorists based on the FBI’s video’s and photos of now deceased 26 year old Tamerlan and now captured 19 year old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
This surveillance photo of Tamerian is very revealing. It shows that he is wearing a heavy jacket which was not weather appropriate.It was also buttoned or zipped up when the weather did not warrant it. The jacket is also is oversized. You can tell by the sleeves and by the waist that it is a bit large for him. Oftentimes terrorists will wear bulky clothing in order to hide something like weapons. Her he is carrying the bomb backpack and he is patting his abdominal area. This is often seen when terrorists wear suicide vests, which was the case with Tamerian.
Tamerian has now opened his jacket exposing his tee shirt. There seems to be a dark vest-like garment under the tee shirt which was the suicide vest as was discovered after he was killed by police in a shootout. He is trying to be inconspicuous and also disguise his identity with sunglasses and with the bill of his hat covering his face.
His brother Dzhokhar is seen following him wearing a white hat with the bill in back, exposing his facial identity, He is also clutching his mid section and continued to do so throughout his walking in back of his brother. Terrorists have often been seen clutching their mid sections when they are trying to conceal a weapon, which was the case with Dzhokhar.
Note that these two terrorists are walking single file. This behavior was also seen with the 911 terrorists. They do this to disguise the fact that they are together but their single file approach is actually a red flag that they are indeed together.
Numbness, Anger, Fear and Anxiety are the 4 types of emotions which are often exhibited on terrorist’s faces. Numbness may be due to drugs as was the case with the Mumbai terrorists. Anxiety can also occur in their body language manifested by excess movements of the arms and legs and rapid speech patterns.
Gilbert Junior who is an auto body repairman reported to the press that Tamerian was very agitated and anxious as he demanded to have his car back even though the work on it wasn’t finished. He remarked that his anxiety displayed in his body movements were in marked contrast to his demeanor at other times.
When the 19 year old brother in the white cap walks in back of his older brother you see him looking to the right and then to the left as though he is concerned about anyone noticing him. This behavior is often seen in terrorists.
The FBI Photos of these two brothers reveal facial nuances which many terrorists can exhibit. Once again we see the slack jaw and slightly opened mouth of Tamerian now wearing a black hat and sunglasses to disguise and hide his appearance . Tis facial expression may also indicate the fear he is experiencing as his autonomic nervous system has taken over his body functions.
In contrast there is a mask-like smile on the face of his brother Dzhokhar. We saw a similiar facial expression on the Mumbai bombers. Dzhokhar has no concern about disguising himself as he wears his cap backwards and weears no sunglasses. Perhaps there is some arrogance displayed by this behavior. Perhaps he believes at this point he will not get caught.
There have been many comments from family members and friends that these two young men were very bright an they were good boys. Those who knew the young men were shocked that they could ever be involved in such a nefarious act. But this is not at all surprising. There were many young Somalian men in their late teens in Minnesota who were excellent students and who were headed to Ivy league schools upon graduating from high schools. But they took a trip to a Jihadist training camp after being recruited and brainwashed and they returned to the US with the intention of committing acts of terror.
Thank goodness Anwar Alawaki is no longer alive as he was one of the top recruiters of young men to encourage them to carry out exactly the same acts that these two Boston terrorists did.But there are other Alawakai type recruiters who prey on confused young men like Tamerian and Djhokher.
It was revealed by Tarian’s aunt that he dropped out of school. Obviously his boxing career wasn’t doing as well as he expected . He committed a huge sin for a Muslim man as he had premarital sex and a baby , now age 3, with his Portuguese girlfriend . He was conflicted and lived a conflicted life. So he sought refuge in Al Qaeda which fueled his hatred towards a country and it’s people that gave him every opportunity for freedom and to make a success out of his life. Now he has no life. he is dead.
WARNING – GRUESOME PHOTO:
While this photo shows gruesome body language , it shows the brutal shocking reality of what can happen to someone who becomes a terrorist. In our view, all potential terrorists need to see what can happen to them if they succumb to the influence of others and try to carry out terrorist acts. There is no place in heaven for them and they will never meet up with the 72 virgins. There is only agonizing pain and death as it was for the once promising Tamerian. Now his body language shows the horror of his being a lifeless corpse riddled with bullet holes and livor mortis as his blood poured to the surface of his skin.
His 19 year old brother was also riddled with bullets. This once promising student who wanted to be a doctor is now being treated by doctors in an attempt to save his life so that he can provide more information about who was behind this bombing tragedy.
Who knows how he will emerge from his surgeries. He will have a lifetime of pain and torture from his injuries and from his upcoming trials. Massachusetts does not have the death penalty. So at 19 he will never again see the light of day. He will never experience the freedom that this country offered him. He will never live his dream of becoming a doctor.Even though he may still be breathing, his young life has ended just like his older brother’ s life has ended.
I recently appeared on Entertainment Tonight where I discussed the body language of the Colorado Shooter James Holmes. For those of you who may think he may have been faking his strange and contorted facial expressions, the answer is “no” . The reason I say this is because his behaviors were too consistent.
MEDS OR SLEEP DEPREVATION?
He struggled to keep his eyes open an to pay attention to what was going on, but he could not do so. He was either medicated or sleep deprived.
While it is not common to medicate someone during a court proceeding such as this because the person needs all of their faculties present to comprehend what is going on around them, it is not unheard of to medicate someone who is a danger to themselves and to others. If someone has been on medication, they will often let the person continue taking their prescribed meds. It was reported that Holmes was acting violent in his jail cell as he allegedly spit at guards. Perhaps he was medicated to avoid this type of behavior in the courtroom.
His actions could also be a sort of withdrawal reaction from alleged medications he may have been taking as well.
While he opened his eyes widely and often quickly nodded out. It showed that he was clearly struggling to stay awake.
There were times where he had an obvious reality check as his facial expressions leaked out fear , with the whites of his eyes showing all around. He also leaked out sadness. His sadness was depicted by his furrowed forehead, knitted brow, and his frowning down tuned mouth.
There were times where he appeared to stare into space while there were other times he stared downwards. His nodding out may have also been a coping mechanism to deal with the reality of his actions in not being able to face them.
My thoughts are that he may have very well had a psychotic episode which caused his horrific “lone wolf terrorist behavior.” Oftentimes such psychotic breaks can occur in a person’s 20’s.
CHILDHOOD
It has been reported that James Holmes, who was adopted by his parents was a very shy child. It is also reported that his mother had some concern that he was an isolated child and didn’t have a lot of friends.
James managed to occupy his time with video games according to reports and with academics.
EARLY DREAMS TO BECOME A SCIENTIST
He excelled in science and wanted to become a neuroscientist. He even worked at the prestigious Salk Institute.
There is videotape of an 18 year old fresh faced dark haired young man discussing his future plans as a scientist. He was able to live out his dream by being accepted into the PhD Program at the University of Colorado in neuroscience.
PHD PRESSURES
Apparently, he took his first year oral exams and then abruptly dropped out. While the University isn’t revealing much due to student privacy issues, it has been suggested in the media that he di not pass his exams and or the program was going to terminate him so he quit instead.
Having received a PhD myself I can assure you that it is one of the most difficult things one can do. Besides the actual academic pressures and research requirements, and grueling oral and lengthy written examinations, there is often the departmental politics to contend with. Most students aren’t prepared for this, but it does exist.
While his PhD student status is pure speculation on my part at this point, it may be possible that James was able to cut through the program academically, but he may have fallen victim to departmental politics. Maybe professors noticed his odd behavior and reacted negatively and gave him a hard time. Maybe they just didn’t like him for whatever reason and looked for reasons out get him out of the program.
Whatever the case, James Holmes saw his lifelong dream of becoming a scientist some to an end. His entire identity was caught up in this now shattered dream, so he may have felt he had nothing to live for.
No doubt anger brewed inside of him as he lost his academic standing and his hopes for a promising career. His anger must have escalated when he found out that he would now have to vacate his apartment because the management did not rent to those who were not U of Colorado students.
Being an alleged isolate, James apparently did not have anyone with whom to vent his frustrations and anxieties. He obviously felt he had nothing to live for as his world was closing in on him, so he retreated into his Batman like fantasies of acting out his rage at his plight though the persona of The Joker. Allegedly , after he was apprehended, he told police that he was The Joker.
He knew what he was going to do and set up an elaborate death trap in his apartment which would kill anyone who entered it- law enforcement or the apartment manager or the owner who was forcing him to vacate his dwelling.
After seeing the film the Dark Knight, it is clear where his ideas about the use of gas and gunning down innocent people came from. There is a chilling scene in the film where innocent people are shot at the Stock Exchange. It was reminiscent of what James Holmes did at the Colorado theatre.
MENTAL INSTITUTION , LIFE IN PRISON, OR DEATH?
James Holmes will undergo a battery of psychiatric evaluations to see if he is competent to stand trial. If not, he will most likely be spending a good portion of his life in a mental institution like John Hinkley or Mark David Chapman. If he is not found guilty by reason of insanity, then he will be spending the rest of his life in a prison cell or on death row.
No matter what happens, the horror of this story is that innocent lives of young people were taken for absolutely no reason at all.
WARNER BROTHERS DOING THE RIGHT THING
It is impressive that Warner Brothers said they will be donating a substantial amount to victims of the shooting and to their families. But even though this is the right thing to do, it still can never bring back these promising lives due to Holme’s horrific actions. Those who survived will also have to deal with a lifetime of post traumatic stress and all of it’s complex related symptoms and complications.

This category says it all when it comes to 17 year old T.J. Lane who shot and killed fellow classmates and injured others in his Ohio high school.
Many of his fellow students said he was “quiet”. Others said he was sweet. One student who played basketball with him after school several years ago said he seemed happy when he was around him and that he was shocked because he wasn’t a violent kid. Another student at his church group said that he was “a nice boy.”
But others said had a “simmering temper”. And my view is that “simmering temper’ was fueled by inner rage that was not verbally expressed.
