5:13 - why would Weeks lie?? And the fact that he knows there was a graveyard across the road from your house means he was at least scoping you out so why would you dispute it??? Man...if I were him I'd be counting my lucky stars!
8:10 as it turns out, this was a damn accurate guess of Whitey's worth. Even in 2011 with seemingly no income for almost 2 decades, Whitey had almost 1 million in cash just hidden inside his walls. It was abundantly clear that this was just some of his quick access cash and he had millions more. I don't think Whitey gets quite the credit for truly being a Capone, Gambino, Accardo - esque gangster in terms of success while evading the law. He truly was that good at his job.
After watching "The Family" on Netflix, which was very eye opening, it more evident that religion is the basis for alot 🦇💩🤡 like Coe are a leading contribution to destruction, massacres, injustices, genocide, human rights violations and wars. They use "their interpretation" of whatever teachings they chose to follow without question to shove their personal political ideals into public policy and conformity.
Ed Bradley’s HS classmate was Whiteys hit man, he was convicted of 24 murders. John Martorano and Ed went to a private HS together and we’re teammates on the football team. I’m surprised Ed didn’t mention it.
'The doctor handed her paperwork on gender identity disorder.' Disorder. It's normal for siblings that grow up together to not have the same disorders. Even if they grow up together in the same home.
5:15 "As a matter of fact i wasn't attached to him at all"...I wish they honed in on this because it's very significant. The discussion in this clip has us believe that she's being accused of being too close to her son but there is a difference between being close and attuned with your son, and then being over-bearing, which is malattunement and sets the son up for detachment from the father and same-sex peers. Her comment supports Nicolosi's theory from his book 'Shame and Attachment Loss'. He also comments that oposite-gender behaviours in early life specifically comes from the child's attempt to hold on to the mother's presence (because she is likely to be inconsistent). To be fair to the mother, it's incredibly lame for the producers to set her up in this way.
I was expecting an eloquent speaker. Not so with Gregory Alan Thornbury - "you know." Difficult to listen to when he would repeat the same phrase over and over.
What Dr. Nicholosi is saying about Toni is completely false. Toni may not have been over involved with her son in the past, but she has every right to be now since the transition has already happened.
Ed Bradley and Mike Wallace were the nucleus of sixty minutes. I found this interview riveting as I worked in Southie for 16 years across from Broadway Station. Circa 1969-1985.
I grew up with a mother who has been in several religious sects form different religions denominations. Growing older I was able to luckily delineate myself from this habit. My experience tells me after watching the doc, reading the book and also watching talks by D. Coe etc - yes this was a religious sect, actually quite a boring one. He was a charismatic personality that offered people other explanations for their sufferings than the consumerist modern world does: Religions are always concerned with contemplation, renunciation of worldly life, unity and service for others, very anti-capitalistic, anti-individualistic etc - this can be very attractive to (young) minds which feel the "normal" world is overwhelming. In the right context hearing that can be quite refreshing, but it is nothing special happened 9million times. What actually is really disturbing and "novel" (for the 20th century) is D. Coe leaching on powerful people and that he actually wants to exercise power through staying invisible. If you do not want to reveal yourself and your teachings than you fear the fragility of your own agenda and this fear is justified - why? Because your agenda is dogmatic and does not want to include the world outside. "I know the truth, the rest is evil" - hello, cult leader. As a cult leader you know, if the world will try to challenge you, you fall apart. If you cannot test your claims against others, those claims are just another ideological condom. American Politicians are only people, and they also want to believe in universal claims and..universal power..part of US culture(Coe says Jesus is universal). Jesus never had that issue of hiding. His teachings can withstand a lot of scrutiny, until today. It is absolutely no argument for Coe being benevolent only because he wanted to stay behind the scenes. Being a puppet master is more perverted than being the puppet in that setting. He was still exercising power. In what way? Having "chosen" people implies there is an authority that is not ought to be questioned, like an autocrat, a monarch put on the throne by god. No mechanism of being held accountable is in place. Complete power like in the "ancient regimes". But here even the autocrat is not the real ruler. There is still a "rasputin figure" in the back ground, planning the plot. Think about that! And then "being eternal through invisibility" ? If eternity is invisible nobody is part of it - apart from those who are invisible themselves or have (brainwashed) glasses on to see it. Exclusivity. Another cult symptom. And then again, if only Jesus is universal, the conclusion is - the rest is not. So let's kill them or similar stuff. The Us government has done these things - due to D. Coe maybe and his dangerous interpretation of Jesus' teachings.
