How did so many people in Wasilla know that Bristol was pregnant before she even knew herself?

I found this e-mail over at MSNBC and it just started me reexamining  the whole "Bristol was pregnant before she was pregnant with Tripp" scenario.  Here take a look and tell me what you think.

Flippin unbelievable . Wouldn't you think they ' d be afraid of being proved wrong when they rumor around the building like that ? I wonder if Wesley and McAllister did hear it from Lyda's office though ... hopefully it'll be another reason why reporters and the public can't trust that odd group of strange people.

We'll get it taken care of, don ' t worry.

Diana Straub heard it and let Molly know today in church . I can gurantee Diana heard it from the horses mouth or the horses office - she and Janey. are pretty friendly. When confronted lyda won't be able to do anything but apologize for her staff . How unbecoming and embarrassing for her office esp when press start inquiring...

Sounds like The Bristol rumor was started and continues via Lyda ' s office . ( Namely , Portia Babcock - Lyda's COS , Tuckerman ' s sister ( Tuckerman being Lyda ' s new son - in-law), former spouse of Kyle Parker ( the oil / gas lobbyist busted for working with Ruedrich while at AOGCC ), now girlfriend of Ralph Samuels ... all those attributes all rolled into one Portia.

Anyway, a former leg staffer heard the discussion at a rest, in Wasilla , evidently sitting near Lyda's people ... she passed it on again today to folks at my sister ' s church ... it's pretty pathetic.

Bristol does want it squashed - we just don ' t know how to do so without making it a bigger issue . Can you feel out Wesley and McAllister to see if that ' s where they got the rumor, as others are saying it's Lyda ' s office . I figured it was them or Bitney.

And that was not the ONLY time this "rumor" was discussed in the e-mails.

Hate to pick at this one again, but have heard three different times today the rumor again the Bristol is pregnant or had this baby. Even at Trig's doc appt this morning his doc said that's out there (hopefully NOT in their medical community-world, but it's out there). Bristol called again this afternoon asking if there's anything we can do to stop this, as she received two girlfriend-type calls today asking if it were true.

Okay so here is my quandary.

If Bristol gave birth on December 27, 2008, and Tripp Johnston was carried to full term, then in fact it is improbable that Bristol was pregnant on April 6, but could very well have been already pregnant on April 22, but there is NO WAY anybody could have possibly known that since, according to Levi, even Bristol did not know until May.

Yet so strong were these rumors that even after Sarah faked Trig's birth, they refused to go away.

In fact they did not seem to diminish at all until the McCain campaign announced that Bristol was pregnant.

Now just to make things interesting let's add to the mix that both Mercede and her mother claimed that Levi and Bristol had been TRYING to get pregnant.

So while there were already rumors that Bristol was pregnant, and she was complaining to her mom about them, she was actively TRYING to get pregnant?

And after trying for months to quell the rumor that her daughter was pregnant, Palin did not hesitate to scream that fact from the rooftops when she realized that she needed to do something to put the faked pregnancy rumors to rest or risk losing her shiny new VP slot.

No matter how you look at this, or who you want to believe, something STILL smells very fishy indeed.

Mercede Johnston

Mercede Johnston who is the sister of Levi has a new post up.  She really needs to spill the beans on that despicable family the Palins.  Sadie do it now girl!

Mercede Johnston says "Hi."

Here is the link to Sadie's new blog post from yesterday.

A number of you had been asking me what was up with Sadie.  What she explains in her post is essentially what she has been telling to me these last few months.

It was just last week that she really thought that FINALLY Bristol was going to let Levi, Sherry, and Sadie see Tripp again, but at the last minute just pulled the rug right out from under them. Mercede was crushed by that.

Personally I don't think they CAN let Tripp come around anymore, because he is starting to talk now, and there is no telling what kinds of tales he might tell.

(By the way if you are one of the numerous trolls that come over here to trash Mercede, don't waste your time. I WILL reject your comments and nobody will see them anyhow.)

I am no expert on pregnancy, but is it common for women to get pregnant in their shoulders like Sarah Palin apparently did?

(H/T to Brad Scharlott for the image.)

Laura Novak conducts yet another very interesting interview with Professor Scharlott over on her blog.

This link will take you the most interesting clip, where Mrs. Palin talks about “huntin’ and fishin’” and her big family. The interviewer at one point interjects: “And you have four?” meaning, children. And Palin replies, “I have a bunch of kids” before rapidly changing the subject. Was this because she wasn’t sure how many she would have in the following days, or because she wasn’t yet prepared to tell the world about a fifth? “A bunch of kids.” How maternal.

It’s not just that Palin was supposedly 7 months pregnant during this interview. It’s her behavior, posture, and her stunning announcement the next day that still mystify, dumbfound and disturb so many followers of this fairy tale.

Throughout her entire Newsweek interview, which was at least 10 minutes (judging from several YouTube clips), she remained in that forward-leaning position with her legs crossed.

LN: What an amazing woman.

BS: Amazing indeed. How late into your own pregnancy, Laura, could you comfortably assume that position and hold it several minutes?

LN: Are you kidding? I still can’t, and my baby’s now 16 and rides a BMX bike.

Now for many of us THIS is well covered ground, that we are now seeing revisited by new eyes. However the last part of Laura's answer directed my focus to something that I have not given a great deal of thought to in the past.

As many of you know I have interviewed a number of people who worked with, or around, Palin before, during, and after her "pregnancy." In one of those interviews the person mentioned that not only did Palin not appear pregnant DURING her month and a half long pregnancy, she also did not appear to have just given birth AFTER Trig was born.

Now here you will have to forgive me because I am JUST a man, so until I read Laura's somewhat tongue in cheek answer above I did not give that as much thought as I should have.

So I went back through my notes to check, and was reminded that not only did Sarah Palin not have any of the pain or discomfort you would expect during her pregnancy, she also did not seem to have ANY sign of having just given birth in the days and weeks afterward. 

Now granted these people would have been interacting with Palin in a professional setting where she might not have felt comfortable talking about her soreness, or appearing weak or needy in front of staff, so I wondered how she might have acted in the privacy of her home, when she was just letting it all hang out.

But WHO would have seen her in her home only a few weeks or days after giving birth?

Oh yeah, that's right!

So I gave my friend Mercede a call.

As it turned out Sadie and her mother were stuck in traffic here in Anchorage, and so I was able to ask both of them whether or not Sarah demonstrated ANY signs of having given birth on May 3 2008, only twenty days after Trig arrived, and the day that they both went over to Palin's house to see the new baby and to celebrate Levi's birthday.

To the question of whether she appeared sore, or had trouble moving around or sitting, they both said "No, she appeared fine."

To the question of whether or not they could have discerned that she had just given birth by her appearance, they both replied "No." "In fact," added Sherry, "she did not look like she had given birth at all!"

I then started trying to think like a woman, and asked if Palin complained about any soreness in her breasts, or whether or not they appeared milk laden or uncomfortable. Again the response was "No, not at all."

Sadie did point out that she was in a sweatshirt, so it would have been hard to see if she was swollen, but that she certainly "did not act as if she were uncomfortable."

I thanked them for their time and hung up the phone. (By the way you should be hearing more from Mercede herself later on today.)

You know the difference between pretending to be pregnant on a television show, and doing the same thing in real life, is that in a movie or television show when the director yells cut you can take off the fake baby bump and have a cigarette. But in real life you have to be prepared to play your scene 24 hours a day, for as long as the "pregnancy" (And the appropriate amount of time after the pregnancy), lasts.  Clearly Palin was just not that good of an actress.

Which is WHY we see her bending forward when she should have been seven months pregnant, and WHY her belly changed size and shape so often in that month and a half span of time, and WHY she acted afterward as if it simply did not happen.  Because, and stay with me on this part, it DID NOT HAPPEN!

Now look, one of the arguments against the idea that Palin pulled off this fake pregnancy has always been, "that's crazy NOBODY would do such a thing! Especially while in the public eye!" Which on the face of it seems like a reasonable argument, but not when it comes to Sarah Palin.

Just ask yourself about all of the crazy Palin lies that you know about.  This is a woman who has lied and said that NONE of the ethics complaints filed against her ever had merit, that the U.S. federal debt had grown more under Obama than “all those other presidents combined," repeatedly lied that she quit her job as Governor because under the laws of the state, her family was going to be bankrupt by litigation and public records requests, and apparently supported her daughter's lie that her very obvious facial surgery was really due to a dental procedure to align her teeth. (And those are only the tip of the iceberg.)

So you see what WE all might consider a lie too outlandish to tell by ANYONE, is really just business as usual for Sarah Palin and her family.  And until somebody REALLY calls them out on their lies, there is NO reason for Sister Sarah to change her tactics. None.

(By the way if you want to get an idea of just how often Palin lies, all you need to do is buy "The Lies of Sarah Palin" by Geoffrey Dunn.)

Could Sherry Johnston be the mother of Trig Palin?

Yesterday was Trig's alleged birthday. The reason I say alleged is because it's obvious Sarah did not give birth to him. It's possible he was born before April 18 because its been suspected Bristol gave birth to him. She went into hiding in the fall 2007-Winter 2008 timeline because she had "mono".

However I'm starting to wonder if it is Sherry Johnston. Sherry is the mother of Levi Johnston Bristol's ex-fiancee and the grandma of Trip Johnston. Syrin from Syrin's Blog made this interesting comment regarding Babygate:

Appreciate that the msm has taken this story one step further. I’ve stayed clear of this subject. My opinion on this subject has been based on a few important circumstances and totally independent. People… Bristol did not have the child name Trig, born in Arpril 08 ?! There is NO WAY it could have happened, because Bristol was pregnant with Levi Johnston’s child Tripp Johnston, born in Dec. 08 who Levi is presently payng child support for, so he does belong to Levi.. So lets not add that impossiblity to this mix! The thought that a 16 year old Sadie Johnston would NOT know the correct family labels of relationships is laughable to me. I’ve raised 3 children. They know the relationships between themselves and of those around them.
 
Kids always write appropriate captions to their pictures when sharing with their friends, as did Mercedes on her MySpace Page… Another thing.. No boyfriend or girlfriend would be a part of the birth if it where me having a baby..I’ve done some asking around and that would be the case for most women. The Sherry Johnston story is an interesting one. Remember, I live in Wasilla!! I continue to maintain my opinion that it is very possible that it was Sherry Johnston who gave birth, (unplanned pregnancy- it happens) perhaps after Keith left her she got into a relationship that went bad.

Moving forward….Shortly after Sherry’s drug bust.. it was almost forced on the public as a major part of the story that she had a hysterectomy. At the time it seemd the media was making the connection that she was doing drugs because of a medical condition. But, I’m sorry, I just can’t get over it……What the hell is the sister of the boyfriend doing holding the infant of the girlfriends mother and calling it her (little baby brother)? Also note: Bristol looks like she’s at the beginning of her pregnancy with Tripp in this picture and Sarah Palin does not look or is positioned as if she just gave birth. Finally, it is Sherry Johnston who is taking these photos!!! One big happy family!?! The Johnstons are involved in this in some way! Quite possible and very convenient for the Palins at the time. All IMHO.

When I think about it, yes it is a strong possibility.  Sadie refers to Trig as her baby brother.  Also Sadie has been very vague about Trig when writing about him on her blog.  Did the Palins pay her off?   So if Sherry is the mother, who is Trig's father?  Todd Palin perhaps.  Remember he is very affectionate with Trig while Sarah carries him like a sack of potatoes.  And I wonder if Sherry threatened to spill the beans or wanted Trig back after the election so she was set up on those drug charges as a way to keep her quiet.

Since I live in the Lower 48, I am not in the know, I rely on the Anti-Sarah and Alaska Blogs to get my info.
