Sexual Assault Without Sexual Activity? Who's The Real Bully?
Allegation Against George H.W. Bush Age 93 - By ABC-AntiBullyingCrusador
Prominent in the national news last weekend, were accusations made against former President George H.W. Bush age 93, for what is being described as "sexual assault".
It all started when actress Heather Lind age 34, accused the former President of "sexual assault" while posing for a photo shoot alongside the former president in his wheelchair, together "with his wife Barbara Bush" and a few others. The photo shoot was to promote what Lind said was "a historical television show" that she was working on.
Lind stated that the "assault" consisted of Bush Sr. "touching her from behind while in his wheelchair", "patting her rear", "telling a dirty joke", and the worst and last part of the "assault", described as a "pinch", dramatically occurring just as the camera clicked it's final shot. Oh, and one more thing, "this incident occurred four years ago."
The problems though, are that Lind's description of the events that played-out, simply don't add up as "actual sexual assault". Even the "pinch", is not in its self, illegal.
This all came out to the general public when Lind, describing herself as feeling “disturbed”, "detailed her accusations in an Instagram post (now deleted) after first seeing a recent picture of former President Barack Obama with Bush Sr.", reminiscent of her own photo shoot with Bush Sr., four years ago.
Bush Sr. not motivated to do harm, together with the reality of Bush's behavior having NOT ACTUALLY causing serious or lasting harm, doesn't even meet the criteria of "tactics" commonly used by "psychopathic bullies" - "bully" more commonly known as a "successful psychopath" in the U.S.
Bush Sr., like all "normally caring" people, just assumed that Lind, didn't understand. So in response to Lind's allegations, a statement from Bush Sr.'s spokesperson, tried to be candid, by describing in detail how the former president's behavior was really good, even humorous intentions, saying that Bush Sr. has been "confined to a wheelchair for roughly five years." Adding "When posing for pictures his arm falls on the lower waist of people with whom he takes pictures. To try to put people at ease, the president routinely tells the same joke — and on occasion, he has patted women’s rears in what he intended to be a good-natured manner."
When these explanations were not accepted, Bush and his spokesperson, likely realized that this is NOT about a misunderstanding, nor resolving issues. Instead, like all psychopathic bullies, it's about taking their "target" down, for no REAL or VALID reason at all, except their own satisfaction. In Lind's case, the "satisfaction" of jumping on to the "sexual assault" bandwagon, by manipulating perceptions, using lies, half truths and deception, all for satisfaction of fraudulent financial gain.
That said, Bush Sr.'s spokesperson didn't bother denying or explaining the allegations further. Instead, a more formal apology was made through the Daily News, stating;
“President Bush would never — under any circumstance — intentionally cause anyone distress, and he most sincerely apologizes if his attempt at humor offended Ms. Lind."
Lind, later made some rather odd, even cryptic comments, and was likely referring to her job as an actress, as her platform, when she stated - "What comforts me is that I too can use MY power, which isn’t so different from a President really." Further stating that she can "enact positive change", help people etc...as well as "call out other abuses of power when I see them."
Lind's assertions about her "power" being "not so different from a President really", and how she plans to use her "power", "to enact positive change", etc,,,as well as to "call out other abuses of power" -- Is Lind's not so veiled attempt, to threaten Bush Sr., for what she PRETENDS to perceive, to be an "abuse of power." While, if you think just a little bit deeper, you come to realize who the REAL psychopathic bully is.
For example:
Although Lind uses the term "abuse of power" as related to Bush Sr. and this incident, there is no mention as to how exactly, Bush Sr. is thought to have abused his power. On the other hand, This all started when Lind, FIRST abused her OWN power, by making publicly disparaging comments against Bush Sr., detailing "her accusations in an Instagram post", before Bush Sr. even knew there was a problem at all.
Bush Sr. through his spokesperson responded to Lind's allegations immediately. Where as abnormally uncaring people like Heather Lind, make publicly disparaging comments against their "targets" (Bush Sr.) often times, before their target is even aware a problem exists. And when the target becomes aware, their attempts to reconcile or to simply understand the allegation(s) are met with silence, or even worse, more allegations.
Lind also reportedly, "told her cast mates about the alleged sexual assault and that she decided to come forward because of the bravery of other women who have spoken up and written about their experiences”, referring to the women who have accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault and harassment.
Coming forward after a "sexual assault", NOT because of your OWN experience, but because of “the bravery of other women who have spoken up”, - Seems very nice, even noble, while just breezing through the article for the first time. But when you really read it or just think a little bit deeper, the inconsistencies and contradictions to the truth, become obvious.
For Example
Lind is using the term "sexual assault", while her descriptions don't include violence, force or sexual activity, not even kissing or groping, as if it some how compares to ACTUAL sexual assault victims. This is a common tactic used by psychopathic bullies, who sees an opportunity to exploit, such as the ever growing sexual assault and harassment complaints regarding the Harvey Weinstein scandal. Not to mention the newly evolving epidemic, of many other similar claims, against other high profile actors, producers, directors, photographers etc..
Hoping to change the perception of others about the validity of her own allegations, is likely the primary reason Lind made the statement about coming forward because of the “the bravery of other women".
Many people reading articles about this incident, saw nothing wrong with Lind's perspective and motivations for making these publicly disparaging comments against Bush Sr., Made evident, when a few other women came forward with these same, almost exact allegations.
So who's the REAL bully?
Ever hear of "the uncanny similarity of tactics used by psychopathic bullies" ?
An article by that title can be found on the margin, on the right side, of this article. Probably hidden in the BLOG ARCHIVE -Written in August 2017
Another resource, is an article, titled and linked below, written 2009. It also talks about this "similarity of tactics" as related to psychopathic workplace bullying.
A Curiosity If Your Interested; I first wondered if phony sexual assault allegations made by younger women, against wealthy, prominent seniors, is one of those "unique tactics used by bullies alone" when I read an article a few years back, titled and linked below.
