Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should

It’s too early in the morning for me to cite precedent right now, but I believe that public figures can be declared in contempt of court for using, or attempting to use their influence to disrupt court proceedings.

Contempt is really a great tool for judges to use against tools like Trudeau, judges shouldn’t have to put up with bullshit, and they don’t.

Still, you have to give Trudeau his props. He has inspired so much confidence in his marks…er, I mean followers that he is their main man for Alt(-Reality) Medicine. No matter what he does, his marks…, er, (there I go again, jeez) followers can’t help but have confidence in this man.

So, give a big round of applause for this Man of Confidence. For a Confidence Man, any willing person can be a mark of inspiration. All hail Kevin Trudeau, the ultimate ConMan.

It seems that some people do not understand what freedom mean. For them it means the right to do anything you feel like doing, including things like swinging your fist in other people’s faces because you can.

To PsyberDave – Think of this like a murder by proxy. If I’m able to talk someone else into killing you, who’s at fault? The fault remains with both the instigator (me) and the killer. Even though this is to a lesser degree, the law still remains and the chain of evidence remains clear that Trudeau instigated the whole thing. BTW: Just IMHO as I’m not a lawyer either.

Asked if he had anything to say after Gettleman’s ruling Trudeau said: “I wish I could. I’ll have a lot to say on my radio show when I get out,” he said. “This is a First Amendment issue … I was exercising my First Amendment right.”

His lawyer then told him not to answer any more questions.

Next, he’ll sue his own lawyer for negating his First Amendment rights…

The sad part is allot of the nutrition stuff he talks about makes sense in making you healthier (like coconut oil for cooking and it’s proven health benefits as healthy fat) but then he goes overboard on unproven health benefits of coconut oil. He does that with any healthy food he promotes in the book.

Oh and 1/3rd of the book is about his “war” with … everyone it seems.

He’s like the Health Ranger, they know the basics of good nutrition but loose all credibility when they go cookoo about tons of unproven or disproven issues.

Don’t get me wrong. I love the idea of Kdaeu sharing a cell with Tiny the Touchy Hell’s Angel. It’s just that my schadenfreude isn’t complete until I find an answer to the question.

“I can count the number of people I’ve held in contempt on one hand and three of those fingers have Kevin Trudeau’s name on them.”

He not only found Kevin Trudeau in contempt of court one time but three times. After the third time, the judge lost his patience and sentenced Kevin to 30 days in jail. If anything, I’d say the judge was more than patient with him and gave him more than enough opportunities to behave.

It wont be long until conspiracy theories and martyrdom complexes make this guy even louder… Unless he finds an even More lucrative scam.

Better if he doesn’t have to _remember_ his time in jail for the rest of his life.

I get a kick out of some of these shillsters. One alt.med advocate tells us we should eat raw, because it’s what our ancestors did for millenia. Then he tells us we should buy his coral calcium supplements, because we don’t get enough calcium. That last bit is probably true, but how many of our ancestors went skin diving for coral, ground it up, and sprinkled it on their steak tartare?
