Every picture tells a story. And then another picture refutes that story. And yet another picture then refutes THAT story. And...well you get the picture.

Earlier the Daily Mail released this heretofore unseen picture...


..to refute that this picture...



taken in Anchorage on March 14, 2008 shows that Palin could NOT have given birth to Trig.

But of course it proves no such thing as demonstrated by this picture..


...which shows a side by side comparison of Palin with an empathy belly pregnancy simulator that both men or women can buy and wear to simulate a real pregnancy.

Which by the way, according to Sarah's appearance, is the option which seems FAR more likely than the idea that Palin was hiding an actual eight month old fetus under that hideous pink and green scarf.

pregnant belly at eight months.

Anybody disagree?

Of course essentially I agree with Joe McGinniss about the power of the photographs:

Hey, none of the pictures of Sarah pregnant-or-not with Trig is the Zapruder film. None of them proves anything. At most, people can use them to support the opinion they already have.

And if that were the sum total of the evidence contained in Professor Scharlott's research paper, I don't think we could expect it to be enough to snag the attention of the mainstream media.  However snag the attention of the mainstream media it did.

Just in the last couple of days renewed interest in this story has turned up in Wonkette, First Post, The Periscope Post, Newser, and The Week just to name a few.  To be fair not all of them accept Professor Scharlott's conclusions.  But they are ALL talking about it, and they all have comments sections filled with readers who are also ALL talking about it.

Which means that if Palin's speech on Saturday in Wisconsin really was an indication that she is still seriously considering a run for the GOP nomination, THIS story will once again explode, and I just don't think that Sister Sarah will be able to simply keep ignoring it once she is under media scrutiny as an actual Republican candidate.

    It is important to note how the eight month pregnant belly hangs in the photo of the unknown woman. It hangs lower, more in the pelvic region, than the belly that Palin is wearing. Palin's belly sits high on her frame.

    As Julie O'Malley would say.. look at how swollen those ear lobes are... she was obviously pregnant!!

    If you look closely you can see the amniotic fluid running down her leg as she is smiling for the camera.

    I think that picture is not before unseen, I think it's a still from video of right before or after her speech at the governor's conference. It prompts one to wonder if she left immediately and got on a plane for Alaska looking like that, how is it no flight attendant noticed she was pregnant?

    Have the reporters from the Daily Mail seen the two Trig photos? One with the wavy ears, then magically "fixed"?? I think those photos are startling, there is no way that those photos are of the same baby. As for the Heath's holding "newborn Trig" in the hospital, THAT is no premature baby. My first son weighed 9 lbs. and looked like the baby they are holding. Preemies do not get taken into hallways for photos, either.

    "Rumors, innuendo and inconclusive photographs do not a true story make, but the fact of the matter is that two years after the birth of Trig Paxson Van Palin, there is no proof that Sarah Palin is his biological mother.

    If you believe that the news media — or anyone else — has no business pursuing the question of whether John McCain’s 2008 running mate put over an enormous hoax on the American public because the whole idea is so . . . well, yucky, then you need read no further.

    But if you like me remain curious about Palin’s serial evasions concerning her alleged pregnancy and Trig’s birth, as well as her unwillingness to provide any proof to tamp down rumors that she faked the birth of the Down syndrome child, then stick around."

    She may not be able to keep ignoring it, but you can bet RAM is busy as a beaver thinking up explanations for why the public should ignore it. Most of them start with "The lamestream media is trying to..." Except her lamestream media is what has let her get away with this for so long. It is the bloggers who have ferreted out these pictures, questioned her motives, questioned her honesty, and let the cat out of the bag after so long. It is her fellow Republicans who will now have to deal with this lying woman. WIll they let her continue with this charade, or will they, finally, recognize that she is in no way fit to even run for this office, let alone participate in the process, which she will bastardize anyway by refusing to be interviewed, refusing to honestly debate, and keep calling herself courageous for not going along with the established process? Come on GOP, call her out, and do it now, before she starts raking in even more cash, and before she does even more harm to your party and this country.

    Look at that shit-eating grin on that witch's face. What does it say, it says that she thinks she is pulling one over on the whole country by pretending to be pregnant.

    One must have sex to be pregnant, she also had her tubes tied after the birth of Piper. So who is Piper's real dna father?

    One must be pregnant longer than a short fake 6 weeks to have a baby. The same baby can't be born in 2 different hospitals.

    Sarah pulled a scam on the American people, she is an evil person who would use an innocent baby to feather her own purse.

    Sarah was never pregnant with Trig, she used this baby as a political prop to grow her bank account and further the religious right's agenda. Those protecting Sarah will have to answer for their part in this sordid tale. May God have mercy on your lost souls. One should not worship false idiols or Satan.

  20. Whether Palin lied isn't the real issue anymore. What matters is that the press did not ask basic questions about what was frankly an odd story. The media failed to learn just how incompetent& unqualified she was.

    What frightens me about her growing political irrelevance is that this story will be pushed aside, along with the distinction in themainstream media. No one that incompetent should everagain get soclose to the White House.

  29. Compare this photo to the Gusty photo, allegedly taken on April 13. Yeah, side view vs. front view can distort things, but IMO judging from the coat, Sarah was having yet another low amniotic fluid day when the Daily Mail photo was taken. Which at least is consistent with Sarah's story that her amniotic fluid started leaking in TX....Except she's supposed to be (almost) 8 months along, about to have a 6 pound baby. Sorry, but she should have reached the beached whale stage & she clearly hasn't in this picture.

    At the risk of coming off like a troll, and Gryphen could easily verify from my IP Address that I am no Palin plant given my history of remarks (from the safety of my Anonymity)but What If? What if she does prove she's the mother? Is that really egg on our faces? I wouldn't lose sleep over it.

    Her story was just so UNBELIVEABLE. From her stunning withholding of such information so late in her pregnancy to her husband and children, staff and constituents to her Wild Ride. . .

    Even if she turns out to be the mother (which I doubt) she was still enormously pathological, irresponsible and endangering with her psychotic need to come off as superwoman/mom with a high-risk, special needs fetus.

    And then, there is the record of her neglect in raising this said fifth child. What postpartum mommy with a special needs infant wouldn't "blink" at such an enormous responsibility in being second in command of a powerful nation?

    The bleary-eyed and physical discomfort. . the fatigue, the milk dropping, the nursing pads, the uterus shrinking, the demands of other school age children and a freakin State Executive responsibilities to boot.

    She blows my mind, and not in a good way. This is absolutely not an indictment against working moms (I had two jobs with my second infant) but the enormity of the decisions and responsibilities she takes via her gutteral-progressin-self-absorbed-overly-ambitious-ego trumps good old fashioned 'commensense' American or not.

    It just doesn't add up if she HAD just had a baby.

    I'm just waiting for her to soberly announce her opening her servant's heart to a special needs baby in need of a (ha ha) stable and loving family. She'll want so much to come off as selfless and heroic and her bots will eat it up.

    Okay, I guess in a way this is unfair, but Sarah Palin absolutely negates any kudos for any scenario involving Trig.

    That kid deserves everyone's sympathy, as he's not getting his needs met by that NPD pretend-mother.

    And that belly is simply too high to be real.
    The simple fact that she was wearing a slim, a-line skirt with her blouse TUCKED IN (the picture with the red/pink scarf) screams not pregnant. No way, no how would any pregnant woman tuck in a blouse, not even sarah palin.
    And why won't any doctors come out and call bullshit on her claims that her tight abs prevented her from showing? That is simply not physically possible. It's just not!

    I've been told by someone who wore an empathy belly in a play that these things are very hot and uncomfortable, which explains why Sarah didn't wear it much. Or perhaps she only bought late in the game, in time for the Gusty photos and for the trip to Texas.

    There is no doubt the shoulder harness part of the contraption explains the strange bulkiness and the lines on her back that can be seen in the other photo Julie posted as "proof" of the pregnancy. What a sterling journalist; just because someone looks pregnant does not mean that they are!

    Where's the photo of mama grizzly proudly holding her brand new baby cub shortly after his birth?

    I know most moms on here can prove without a doubt with one photo that they gave birth to their children. They may be unflattering photos to the mother, but every new mother I know is beaming with pride and doesn't really give a shit what she looks like when she's just performed the miraculous feat of giving life to another human being.

    So why does it appear that Sarah Palin doesn't have any of these typical post-delivery photos of a beaming mother with her precious baby boy?

    Why did the Heaths introduce Trig to the world in the hallway of a hospital? Where was the father of the baby? Why didn't Todd introduce his new offspring to the world?

    My babies NEVER left the room without me, my husband, my doctor or a nurse! NEVER! And I would never let my parents, however creepily close we were, parade around the OB corridor showing off my brand new, preemie, DS baby! NEVER.

    The Moderate Voice piece gets a couple of things wrong. First, the writer states that Palin has shown her stretch marks but not a birth certificate for Trig. She has NOT shown stretch marks (not that they'd be proof, anyway). She snidely offered to show stretch marks to "prove" that she was pregnant with Trig.

    Secondly, he states that, in Going Rogue, SP wrote that her water broke in TX. She did not. She changed her story and wrote that she had a "strange sensation low in my belly" (or something like that). No mention of any amniotic fluid leaking.

    It's annoying that a journalist can't get easily verifiable facts straight.

    What I keep wondering is what gave SP the idea in the first place? I mean, did someone tell her "gee, you would be unstoppable if you only had a disabled baby"......I just don't get it. What's the big deal? Is a disabled baby somehow so poweful in gaining support from voters? Is that what SP and the far right really believe?

    And yet if we could find how she got her idea, it might be another element of proof of her HOAX. Was something written down around the time the SP was being considered as a VP candidate? Or when she was introduced to those GOP bigwigs (in 2007?) did one of them whisper into her ear that gee she would be a shoe-in if she had a Downs syndrome baby??

There are photos of dad holding newborn, little sister holding newborn, aunty holding newborn, technician holding newborn and in each, I'm still wearing the same blood-speckled johnny coat, looking like a crazy person, but happy as a clam.

    Where are Sarah's photos? All we've seen are her parents holding a round-faced, full-term "preemie." A narcissist like her would have plastered the Internet with photos of herself and newborn, if, that is, she'd actually given birth, which she didn't.

    My son was three weeks early and had mild jaundice, and no one was allowed to carry him around the hallways except for the nurses. Even me! Only his father and I were allowed to take him out of the room on a little rolling cart. Governor or not, I can't imagine a hospital letting the grandparents carry a "preemie" out into the hall for a photograph session.

  48. To Anon@3:36, that is true, preemies DON'T get taken into hallways for photos. Mostly, they are hooked up to oxygen and iv until their little lungs can get going on their own. They live in a NICU [isolation unit] to reduce the possibility of infections which would ravage them. Typically, mom goes home before baby, usually in a couple of days. Baby may stay a week or more.

    That's for normal people. The Palins, we have come to learn, have no need of all that.

    The shape-shifting is really the meat of the argument that SP is not the birth mother of Trig. If you take the TX speech photo with green scarf as the last known pic of her available she is still smaller there than she was in the Gusty photo which was approximately 4 days earlier. In this TX photo she 'looks' pregnant, even with her trademark scarves. So then tell me how she got on a plane in that alleged state of pregnancy as per the last known photo and not one flight attendant could recall seeing a pregnant SP? As someone mentioned in an early comment on this thread, the empathy belly is bulky and hot and pretty uncomfortable for such a long flight. I doubt she wore one for the flight to TX for that matter....they were in the checked luggage of course!

    OT a bit, but as noted before - one of Bristol's friends, relatives, or paid staff will miraculously appear with a new baby . . . while we actually haven't seen any articles or photos yet - all of a sudden I see mentioned something about Track, his girlfriend, and BABY living in AZ! Bristol's house in AZ makes more sense now. Obviously, perhaps this is just a rumor - but it sure seems odd these things just keep cropping up. If Track and his girlfriend have a baby - doesn't this speak to Sarah Palin's supporters incomprehensible belief in Palin's supposed Christian Family Values? To have yet another one of her children having an illegitimate, out of wedlock baby? While I think this child, if there is one, is Bristol's, is this also not just as morally deficient (according to Palin's Religious Right base)? What part of this baby, Bristol's out of wedlock teen pregnancies, Todd's whoring, Willow's and Track's serious vandalism - and on and on - do not clearly show there are no "Family Values", no supervision, no parental nurturing, no helping the kids to develop and grow to their fullest potential? How in the world can they not see she is nothing but a phony?

    Also, to follow up re: Shawn Christy and my question about how far back Palin/Christy relationship may go - I didn't do "research". I merely linked to AK court records, typed in Shawn R. Christy, clicked on "dockets" and scrolled down to the bottom of the list - and a case was listed, with no further info, other than a date - 10/06/05. Perhaps it is a typo, but that date was there. Maybe I am misinterpreting that list - but having been a Juvenile Services
    Social Worker, as well as Child Protective Services Social Worker - I took that to mean there was either a case before the court for that date involving Palin and Christy. I just thought, along with Shawn's FB friends list with a lot of AK names - they might have actually lived in AK at some time, and the "randomness" of their relationship is not so random.

    Uh, yeah, that is what they believe. Trig was and continues to be SP's golden ticket with the far right wing of the GOP. He is her living, breathing, pro-life, walkin the talk street cred.

    As to who suggested this idea to her? Who knows? Either some mastermind like Rove did or she found herself and her family in a situation involving an unwanted baby and pounced on the opportunity.

    However, my personal theory is that Bristol gave birth to a baby with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) and such a baby would not be a good prop for Sarah. So, a DS baby was found to serve as the prop. See Gryphen's posts regarding the ruffled ear baby "A Tale of Two Babies".

    One of the more curious photos of Palin during her "pregnancy" were those released by O'Malley showing Palin from the back wearing the black jacket uniform. In addition to her quarter-back shoulders, her backside appears so unbelievably beefy. She also sometimes wears other jackets at that time, and that BACK FAT is not there.

    This version of an empathy belly clears that all up.

    JillyG at 7:54 asks about the mysterious photo first seen online in '08 of Levi wearing a hospital bracelet and holding an infant. Dim lighting and he appeared to be in a hospital.

    The photo is no longer available on the web (to my knowledge), but someone posting to the 2nd Gates blog has saved a copy and posted it to her comment the other day. It certainly is a most intriguing photo, especially since Sarah states she barely knew who he was during that time period.

    This particular complete maternity costume suit is available at Amazon for $50 I think. (I say complete because it includes the padding for the belly, bosom, shoulder, and back).

    My understanding is that flight attendants are trained to be observant. They are not allowed to have women late in their pregnancy flying, so how can this turd board a plane and nobody notice?

    Palin thinks this is going away, but it is actually getting bigger attention than she ever dreamed of.

    Read my lips, Palin will not run for president. She has too much to answer to and she can't handle it, too many lies to keep straight.

    Is there any pictures of Sarah pregnant without a jacket or scarf on during her so called last pregnancy? I know there are pictures of her being pregnant before without any bulky items or scarfs on her, but not with this so called pregnancy with Trig.

    Makes you wonder what is going on here. Palin pulled another scam!

    We need an 8 month pregnant woman to dress identical to Sarah in the picture with the black skirt suit and pink scarf and simulate the stance.. you'd totally see the difference of how a pregnant and non-pregnant person would look.

    I put the side-by-side together; to my knowledge, the image of $arah pregnant from the Daily Mail website was not altered. And I certainly did not alter it in any way.

    I did the side-by-side in Windows Paint. Nothing fancy. Not one single change in pixelation. Blow it up, check it out for yourself.

    And the empathy belly is for sale at amazon.com for $38.99 and is IN STOCK.

  74. Seriously, does that picture of Sarah Palin grinning fatuously as she stands on the podium with other governors April 17, 2008...

    http://bit.ly/fSsHhg

    ...look like a woman who ALLEGEDLY started to leak amniotic fluid 8 hours before, and according to her own words in her book "Going Rogue" said "Big laughs. More contractions"??

    Gryphen,
    have you heard from Shay Tripp lately.
    She has not posted a word since last week, not even seen in her chat room. Is she ok?

    Just asking to make sure she is fine. After reading everything about Police in alaska and their shed dealings of protecting their queen, I am kinda of paranoid about safety of anyone with evidence.
    Please check on her if you have access to communicate on phone with her.

    I do not trust the defenders of this fraudlent queen called SP.Especially the first dude.

  76. This is the same jacket in both pictures. The neck is pinned with the empathy belly. Wouldn't want that to be exposed.

    7:01 I'm with you - Bristol gave birth to an FAS (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome) baby, which was discovered and pretty quickly understood to be a pretty damning type of special needs child, especially given how easily recognizable the facial features now are (a markedly flat upper area between the nose and top lip) and future behavioral and development issues. Neither Sarah nor Bristol could afford to be associated with an FAS child, but the idea of a special needs child was probably attractive, and they found a way to switch him out. I believe that the little ruffle-eared baby was this FAS child.

  78. Happy Birthday to Trig. And Happy Birthday to Suri Cruise. Two babies that were, IMHO, born earlier than April 18 but passed off as being born on this date to accommodate an elaborate hoax. In both cases, the "birth" was to make a public person look like something they were not. In Tom Cruise's case, it was to portray him as not gay and capable of fathering a child (which anecdotal information says he is not due to childhood mumps;) and Sarah Palin, able to pro-create even after an alleged tubal ligation and deliver a special needs baby that would give her good cred with the pro-life crowd. Both of these innocent children have been robbed of an important part of their personal history: their actual birth date. There are no coincidences, you say, Sarah Palin?

    7:42 - "She is carrying it kind of high. Usually when its a boy the mother is carrying it low. When my stepsister was pregnant she carried hers low and I correctly predicted a boy. So obviously that is an empathy belly."

    Sorry, but that's the kind of statement that is easily refutable and is based on old wives tales and personal opinion. There is plenty of other evidence - anecdotal and picture - that show that Sarah Palin was not pregnant with Trig.

  80. Two things:

    1. Kinda hard to look at that picture and conclude that she's thinking "Please God, don't let anything happen to this baby!" (Going Rogue)

    2. The Heath hallway photo: good discussion here: http://shesnohockeymom.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html

    That IS the shit eating grin she gets on her face when she thinks she's getting away with something. She has that same look in the Andrea Gusty photo in her empathy belly, in the video when she patted her stomach and bragged about tight abs and in one still of her after she quit the governorship.

    I would bet that those who know her see that look quite often. She is a pathological liar!

    What kills me is how spongy her tummy looks. I'm sorry but 8 month pregger bellies are hard not squishy like the Pain belly. Didn't she brag about how tight her abs were? The pictures she has with the gray outfit show fluffy belly a well. At first, I didn't want to believe an adult would try to pull something off like this but come on look at the pictures!

  84. I'm pretty sure a poster at PalinDeception said he or she had gone into Mat-Su hospital and identified the area where the picture of Chuck holding Trig was taken as being a hallway. Anyone else remember that? I my paper I called it a hallway and no one has disagreed yet.

    Yeah, with the wide shoulders on that jacket? She's definitely wearing the empathy belly under there- otherwise, it would be too noticeable. That jacket is straight out of shoulder-pad 80s!
    Her boobs are nice and symmetrical under that jacket as well. Placed exactly on her, where they are on the padding as well.

    The photo of the Heath's holding Trig at the Mat-Su Hospital was in one of their six secure Labor-Delivery-Recovery-Postpartum rooms, not in the hallway or public waiting room.
