Mercede's blog.

Yes Mercede's blog is down.

Don't worry it was neither attacked nor hacked. Simply put the host was overwhelmed by the large number of visits, and that knocked it for a loop.  They are now working on getting Sadie her own independent hosting site so that this will not happen in the future.

That might take a few days so in the meantime I will cut and paste her last post here so that all of you can still access it.

It’s Monday and time to answer more of your questions.


Here are a few more of the questions that were sent to me after my post about Trig Palin on Wednesday.

1) Why do you think Bristol lived with her aunt?

Bristol did not want to move to Juneau because she wanted to continue her relationship with Levi. They wanted to remain close enough to still see each other. I believe this is during the time that Todd allegedly offered Bristol a new car as a bribe to get her to end her relationship with my brother.

2) Does Levi KNOW he is the father? Do you think there is any chance he isn’t and is just being paid to pretend?

Let me put it this way. If there was any doubt then Levi would have had a paternity test done, and despite theories to the contrary there is no way he would accept money to pretend to be some innocent child’s father.

That is a very disgusting thing to even consider. If Tripp were not Levi’s son it would break my heart, and I don’t know if I could ever get over that. But I believe with all of my heart that Tripp is a Johnston. And Levi is a proud father to his little boy, who by the way looks identical to how he looked when he was Tripp’s age.

3) Again. for the umpteenth time in two years I have been asking this question…WHY DOES LEVI HAVE A HOSPITAL BRACELET ON in the pictures with Trig? I am smelling BS and I am NEVER wrong.

Well I have to admit that I had never seen this picture before, and at first was just as confused as many of you. However the other day Levi happened to call and I was able to ask him about it. He identified it as a picture of him with Tripp at the hospital. I don’t know why people believed it was Trig, but it’s not.

4) You said on Larry King Live that Levi once went an entire summer not speaking to you because Bristol told him so. You have stated that Levi lived with the Palins. When did all this happen? It couldn’t have been the Summer of 2008 before the election. Was it 2007? And if so why was Levi living with the Palins in 2007? Do you want us to believe that Levi would tell you everything when he went a whole summer not talking to you because somebody told him to? You appear to be truthful but I think you are leaving out quite a bit. Why?

I would like to make this clear. I know I have laid all this out before but I will explain it again because there still seem to be questions.

It was before the election. Bristol started demanding that Levi end all contact with me in the summer of 2008 at the beginning of her pregnancy.

Because of the campaign Bristol had to put on a happy face and play nice, so during THAT time Levi was again allowed to talk to me. I guess she realize I would speak out and ruin the “perfect image”. Or at least that’s how I perceived it because the change in her attitude towards me came out of nowhere. It was a like the difference between night and day.

Levi lived with the Palins at the end of Bristol’s pregnancy in 2008, and moved out shortly after Tripp’s birth because of the constant fighting between he and Bristol, and other personal issues.
That’s when the real hell started for our family. But never in my wildest dreams did I think it would become this bad.

5) What do you think accounts for the difference in size between the Trig that is shown being held by the Heaths in the hospital corridor and the Trig that you are holding in the Palin house two weeks later?

I can not give an answer for that. It might possibly have something to do with camera angles. Or maybe there really is something going on about which I am still completely in the dark.

6) So, why is Levi not seeing his son anymore? Bristol is in LA, and I hear moving to Arizona, and yet, doesn’t Levi have custody time each week?

Does he not care? Maybe the baby isn’t his after all?

I didn’t know Bristol was moving to Arizona, and that’s very hurtful to hear. We’ve already missed so much of his life while only living a few miles apart, if he really does move thousands of miles away there will be little hope that we will see very much of him at all anymore.

As you know”Team Levi” does not talk to me about the legal side of things. (Even going so far as to announce in the paper that I “won’t be privy to information from anyone with Team Levi.” And Levi is not allowed to fill me in either, so all that I know about the legal agreement is what I read on the internet. Obviously Levi does not have much control over what happens with Tripp as everybody can determine by how rarely he sees his son these days.

I do know that Levi loves his little boy very much, and I cannot imagine how, or why, he allowed his lawyers to mess things up so badly for him.

Okay that will at least allow everybody to see what caused all of the fuss.

    Blade has some interesting things to say about the contradictions and inconsistencies in what Mercede has reported. The one thing that strikes me is in one of her first posts, she swore Bristol had never been pregnant before Tripp. Now she's saying she has no idea if BRistol was pregnant before Tripp. This throws many her of allegations up in the air for questioning. I'd like to keep supporting her, but then I remember she's just a hurt 18yr old girl from the Valley

    OK, Leah, now I have to rant at Alaska teachers: DO ANY OF YOU EVER DRILL THE KIDS ON SPELLING AND ON PROPER GRAMMAR????
    I can't believe what my lying eyes are telling me over and over - at least as far as it pertains to the Palins, their kids and their cohorts - NO CORRECT SPELLING, and LOUSY GRAMMAR/word choice!

    I wonder if that is the result of the 'phonetics' rage (don't even know if it still IS the rage), or if it is due to incompetent teachers who themselves do not know how to spell.
    [shaking head in disgust]. My daughter, when she was FIVE YEARS OLD could spell better than that! (She went to a Montessori school, where they start the kids very early on that type of thing...)

    Mercede says: "He identified it as a picture of him with Tripp at the hospital. I don’t know why people believed it was Trig, but it’s not."

    Wow, this makes me think Levi (or Mercede) is lying. Because I remember Levi's thumb ring being clearly visible in other pictures from the period around Trig's birth. Possibly even the pictures taken in Sarah's kitchen right after Trig's birth. Can anyone help me find the photograph proof?

    Also, there's something in the "tone" of Mercede's blog -- the perfect spelling and punctuation, the utter lack of any kind of teenager-speak -- that makes me wonder if it's all (or only) her writing it.

    Not to sound paranoid, because Gryphen, I know you find her credible.

  12. Levi lost a ring, got a tattoo, and, apparently got another ring because it was stuck on his thumb in Dec '08. The ring is written about in the Dec '08 Esquire feature on Todd.

    http://www.esquire.com/features/todd-palin-bio-0509-5

    There have been so many pictures and details over the last two years its easy to get things mixed up. I suggest going through the IM and PG archives for anyone who doesn't want to give up on the baby being Trig. I promise, though, you won't find it before Tripp was born. The photo first showed up on Bristol's interview with Greta in Feb. '09.

    I, also, think the infant clearly looks like Tripp and is distinct from the infant pictures of Trig.

    FEDUP!!! The Palin kids and others are home schooled. You can't blame the State or Christian schools. These kids are learning at home and on-line, like BYU and other on-line school programs. Glenn Beck may have classes for them. They are being taught internet etiquette by their parents. To gang bully or not to gang bully. Sex education comes from the home and like Sarah these parents don't want to know when the little darlings are making babies upstairs in the bedroom next to the younger children in the family.

    I think it's pretty clear that Mercede doesn't know as much about the Palins as Levi does. So she could be completely honest. I feel it's pretty compelling when she says that she's certain Bristol is not Trig's mom.

    That's what we established quite awhile ago - that there are likely actually at least three babies - the one we know as Trig, the one we know as Tripp, the one with the ruffled ear - and possibly one Bristol was pregnant with earlier than April 2008 - which is either the same as the one with the ruffled ear or not.

    This story is insanely complicated, which works in Sarah Palin's favor very well.

  18. For those of you who are persevering about the picture of Levi with the hospital band, I understand your confusion. I am not exactly sure what to think either.

    At some point in the past I had it in my head that the picture was of Levi with Tripp, so I simply moved on. But I cannot for the life of me remember why I came to that conclusion.

    After it was brought back up again I asked Sadie about it. She was not sure what picture it was, so I sent it to her.

    She said she had never seen it before, but thought it looked like Tripp in the photo.

    It was a day later that Levi called the house to talk to Sherry and Sadie had the chance to ask him. Without missing a beat he said it was Tripp.

    Now I don't remember WHEN I first saw that picture. Nor do I have any idea of the original source. So I cannot say definitively WHEN it first surfaced on the web.

    If somebody can trace it, or has it saved on their computer back before December 2008, then we may have caught Levi in a lie.

    But unless we can prove the picture existed on the internet before the birth of Tripp than we are no closer to getting at the truth.

    The funny thing is, if that picture really is older than Tripp, it would support another bit of information that I have never been able to properly place in the time-line.

    This may be due to camera angle and who's holding him, but the baby Levi's holding looks like he has a slightly bigger head than the one Piper is holding of TRIPP (the one we know for sure. its from a video)

    Also, since Bristol's first interview with Greta greatly interests me, I find BRistol's statement "I'm just glad he's happy and healthy" very eye opening. She's 17. What would give her any reason to think he'd be otherwise?

    Uncle G., I could almost swear I first saw that picture of Levi with that teeny baby on Palin's Deceptions before that blog shut down. I remember Audrey identifying it as Levi and Tripp shortly after Tripp's birth, that's why I was always confused about people saying it was Trig.

    I also thought it strange that Sarah claimed, in her latest 'book' to have delivered Tripp (wif her own two widdle hands!) because Levi wasn't there. Was Levi present at the birth or did he arrive later? Since I don't believe a word out of Stupid Sarah, I ask you. I also remember Sadie saying something about only being allowed to see Tripp for a few minutes after he was born when Sarah wasn't around.

    Re: the photo - I agree, that baby looks like the child currently called Tripp. However, we do not know when that photo was taken. Just because the Palins told us that Tripp was born in Dec.'08 does not make it so. After all, they lie for a living. There is much more complexity to Tripp's story, just as there is with Trig.

    I haven't read all the comments yet, but I do have to take exception with some of you who say the Palin kids are being home schooled.
    a) I do NOT believe they are being homeschooled - they are simply allowed to be truants. Their parents simply signed some type of affidavit, and the schools believe it, FWIW. My daughter was home schooled after 6th grade - (HER choice, not mine, LOL!) I must say, she did *quite* well. She DEFINITELY knows how to spell, how to punctuate, how to use grammar correctly. She also went to college at the ripe old age of 15...

    b) $arah's grammar is atrocious, as well know by now - I mean, even TeaPublicans are asking now what her first language is... (and *mine* isn't English...)

    c) Toad's is not exactly much better either.

    d) Are all their companions/minions also being 'home schooled'? That Andy seems to be another great example...

    Sarah gave a different reason as to why Bristol and Willow would not go to school in Juneau. They were supposed to have been threatened with rape. Sarah never reported the threats to the school, to the local police, to the State Trooper detail that was charged with protecting her.

    The thing that is surprising about Mercede's blog is that it looks like Levi never had a court ordered DNA test. Add to it the comment that Bristol made when she said that she hoped that Levi wasn't the father. That would suggest that Bristol had some other choices in the fatherhood department. And, for her to be angry that it was Levi makes it sound like a DNA test to me. That, or they have really screwed that young kid.

    Answer for the picture of Levi with the hospital band, depending on the hospital, dads who are in the birthing room or operating room are banded so that the staff know they are permitted in restricted areas. I was in the birthing room as both my children were born. Afterward, you're too excited to really think about removing the band or even the gown and hair net.

    I don't believe this newly re-discovered picture confirms that the picture of Levi in the hospital bracelet is one taken with Tripp, because isn't this one of the pictures that Gryphen pointed out "hair discrepancies" (i.e., younger, Pre-VP nom looking)? Rather than Lose a thumb ring, get a tattoo, then replace the thumb ring, I believe that Levi must have had a baby before Tripp's "official" birthday.

  51. Hey Team Levi:

    Want to restore your image and refudiate Sarah Palin? Her latest book claims that Levi wasn't there until the end of Bristol's labor. Hmmm. That pic sure seems to suggest he was there, hospital bracelet and all, adoringly caring for his newborn son. Which is not what is implied in Sarah's book. And I thought as part of the custody agreement neither party would disparage the other family in front of Tripp? Is he just going to ignore grandma's book when he's old enough to read?

    Unless this picture was not of Tripp? So Sarah is either a liar who has publicly defamed (or libel?) her son-in-law, which in the very least is grounds to renegotiate custody OR this picture is not of Tripp which would require some additional explanation on Sarah's part.

    And in defense of Sadie and Sherry, remember that the Palin's had the GOP legal team and a corrupt Alaskan police force and legal system at their disposal. I'm sure that the moment Sarah was tapped as VP they were forced into signing certain documents of nondisclosure that the agreed to in order to see their nephew/grandchild without knowing the consequences. I'm sure they are doing whatever they can to get around it but ultimately if they risk telling too much they might never see their family again. And I don't blame them, its selfish of us to demand the truth without understanding that most of us would lie every day if it was your only hope of seeing a loved one again.

    And forget the legal/monetary threats, I'd be scared for my own life. Look how easy it was to entrap sherry, I'm sure that was just a taste of what the Palins are capable of doing to keep the Johnston women quiet.

    Stay strong girls. The rest of us will continue attempting to expose Palin irregardless. It just takes one of the many secrets to collapse the house of cards.

    And would Joe McGinnis or someone else with money "wee wee" up and get Levi and the Johnstons a real legal team already? That's how were really going to crack the case and get people talking...
