Two pictures that bring a smile. The first picture is what Truth does within a discussion of witnesses. When a witness is presented, and the accused has no ulterior motive, no ill intent, and is not constitutionally guilty of what he stands accused of; he has the capacity to talk to the truth of people as they present themselves.
This is what it looks like when you are confronting false witness.
The second great picture is the O’Mara expression all those who would bear false witness should see. This is the deliberate look of comfortable in confrontation. When you understand what exactly “FALSE WITNESS” means -in its purest original form- then you understand there’s no other confrontation method that works. Period.
People skewer me for critiquing Mark O’Mara around the absence of this level of consistent internalization of false witness – AND the externalization fight that works when you are confronting this type of enemy.
Please understand, in my opinion, Mark O’Mara has never confronted false witness before. He has confronted untruthful people, he has confronted people comfortable with misleading self presentation – but he has NOT confronted people who bear false witness. In the historical biblical, and modern sociological, sense of the term.
People who bear false witness deserve SMITE. Nothing less. SMITE.
If you are not willing to smite, with extreme prejudice, you cannot confront false witness – because those who carry it will use your unwillingness to smite against you to their advantage. To that mind, any crack of weakness is an opportunity to avoid consequence.
FYI – Heads up for the Treehouse articles which you have helped create over the last 16+ months to be redistributed in the more main-stream media. As some media types are doing research they are finding their way here to our previous historical fact finding, research and presentation. We have had some requests for use and publication. All requests have been granted. Remember, we hold no proprietary ownership of the truth – it is not dependent on us.
Anything we research, write, share or post is free for the taking. With or without citation, doesn’t matter so long as the integrity of the truth quest is maintained. My gift to all site visitors on behalf of this cherished community is unlimited use of our research in sharing the truth. Period. Easy enough?
Awesome job admin team. The incoming visitors (new guests) who are reading the site are well in excess of 5,000 people per hour. With hundreds of new commentators, and a significant number of trolls and haters the admin team have snared and intercepted, I am seriously humbled by such efforts. Stella, Sharon, Menagerie, WeeWeed, ytz4Me and Patriot Dreamer were exemplary over the past 48 hours, and they continue to be. Its astonishing to witness their level of effectiveness. I am in awe. You Treepers who have been around a while feel free to keep a close eye out for trollish types. Despite our best efforts sometimes we are left taking guesses.
6,000+ Zimmerman thread comments on Monday and Tuesday 😀 Holy Cats 😀
As you know we are trying to keep the comment count per thread around 500-600 per. That way our Treeper buds who are using mobile platforms don’t have scripting issues on their phones or i-pads which can get twitchy when the threads are so massive and long. Yesterday that means 5 trial threads. We’ll try to keep it spaced out – but if we FUBAR please know it ain’t from lack of effort. Generally it looks like Trial threads will post around this type of schedule: 1:30am, 11:00am, 2:30pm, 4:00pm, 6:00pm (3pm is the peak hour with around 12,000 +/- same time data users, commentators)
Lastly and more importantly, is there anything we can do to make things better? If so please drop your tips and suggestions in the comments. The Tree House is a little better, or not quite as good, because of you.
