THE NEWS SPOKEN IN REVERSE = TRUTH
 
     The Reverse Speech phenomenon, discovered by Australian researcher David John Oates, demonstrates that a person's true thoughts and feelings are naturally imbedded backwards in his speech.  When a tape recording of one's speech is played backwards, intelligible phrases and sentences, expressing these true thoughts and feelings, can be heard amongst the gibberish.  Sometimes the reverse speech is pretty factual and straight forward.  Other times the reverse speech is metaphorical and must be interpreted.
    Click on any of my "hot links" below to hear what politicians and other persons in the news are really thinking.  A transcript of the forward speech involved is given with brackets showing where the reversal(s) occur.  The reverse speech is shown underneath this in bold type.  This site uses Real Player files for the audio since they take up much less space than .wav files.  However, in order to hear the sounds, you must have Real Player 5.0 or a newer version installed on your computer.  As you listen to the sound files, I suggest you minimize Real Player at the bottom of your screen so you can follow the text while hearing the reversals.  If you do not have it, you can download a free version by clicking on the link below the Real Player logo.

    You can click on my hot links to go to whatever type of reverse speech you want to hear.  As you click on each reference you will be taken to that particular quote.  If I have uploaded the audio file you will see an underlined link to a file with a .ra extension.  After you click on the audio file, you will hear the forward speech followed by each reversal being played three times at progressively slower speeds.  Then you will hear the bracketed forward speech played and immediately followed by the reversal, all at normal speed.
    Comments on the meaning of metaphors and the veracity of the speaker's statements are the opinion of the author and may or may not accurately express the speaker's true feelings.

 REVERSALS BY PRESIDENT CLINTON
 
 President Clinton
            The Admission Speech (8-17-98)

 "Indeed I did have a relationship with Miss Lewinsky that [was not appropriate]."
    It broke the bounds.      bounds.ra


 "But I told the grand jury today and I say to you now, that at [no time did I ask anyone] to lie, to hide or destroy evidence, or to take any other unlawful action."
    No mean it, say I did asked one.     asked.ra

"And I intend to re[claim my family life] for my family."
    Hell, they may have found me out.    foundme.ra

              Reversals From President Clinton's State Of The Union Speech (1-19-99)



 "It is time to reverse the [decline in defense spending] that began in 1985."
    And they're sniffing it now.         defense.ra
    Comment:  Public awareness of the problems with defense cuts finally came after the Joint Chiefs advised Congress that readiness was about to suffer.


 "As everyone knows, [our children are targets] of a massive media campaign to hook them on cigarettes."
    Cigar studded boy scout.      cigar.ra


 "[We must work to keep] terrorists from disrupting computer networks.
    Beat the crows from you.      crows.ra      
    Comment:  Clinton metaphorically visualizes terrorists as attacking crows.


 "[In China last year], I said to the leaders and the people what I'd like to say again tonight."
    We sell an arsenic.      arsenic.ra
    Comment:  The interpretation of this metaphor is that Clinton has sold (perhaps campaign contributions were the payment) something (perhaps missile technology via Hughes or Loral) that can lead to death or destruction.


 "So my [balanced budget] triples the funding for summer school and after school programs to keep a million children learning."
    It helps the lie.      budget.ra
    Comment:  The claim of a balanced budget is a lie since it ignores off the book debts, such as Social Security, and uses smoke and mirror accounting practices that ordinary persons never would engage in.


  "These are truly landmark initiatives [which could not have been developed without the vis]ionary leadership of the Vice President, and [I want to thank him very much] for his commitment here."                                                                                                nib.ra
    Shave these thighs of beloved Nib but I induct you. // Scum Arab making out.                 Comment:  Clinton sees himself as the beloved Nib and feels that Al Gore is trying to lessen his power or cut his legs out from under him.  This is very ungrateful on Gore's part since it was Clinton who chose him or inducted him as Vice President.  Clinton derogatorily refers to Gore as a scum Arab.  ("Nibs" is defined as someone in authority, especially one who is exacting.)


    "We will [defend our security] wherever [we are threatened] as we did this summer when we struck at Osama bin [Laden's network of terror].                                             sarin.ra
    He had urged the sarin acid.  //  Embarrassed are you?  //  Rats the crow, dancing doll.
    Comment:  There was an intelligence report that Osama bin Laden planned to use sarin.  Clinton was embarrassed when he blew up tents in the desert but failed to hit bin Laden's men and when he mistakenly bombed a pharmaceutical factory.  Clinton is annoyed ("rats") that bin Laden ("the crow") remained out of his reach.  Note the example above where Clinton also refers to terrorists as "crows."


 "Tonight I stand before you to report that America has created the longest [peacetime economic] expansion in our history."       teeth.ra
    Kickin' Monica in the teeth.    Comment:  Political pundits were wondering if the President would mention anything about the scandal related to the upcoming impeachment proceedings.  Some political advisors reportedly suggested that he even delay the State of the Union speech.  One of Clinton's standard ploys has been to point to the good economy in order to divert attention away from his various scandals.  In this example he remains aloof from the scandal talk while diverting attention away from it.

           Clinton Names The New Woman In His Sex Life
 

    "[And by making it possible for] all the refugees to return [and to move toward a political f]ramework [based on the accords reached in France].  [Now, as I said, we can't] [continue to organize ourselves to try to stand against] [these things around the world], which I firmly hope we will."
    Fold the soft, break in love mat  //  Fu*k a little but oh, screwing with that  //
Snare often a chill, stroke it, not yet  //  Thank you!  This does it.  Fine.  //
Snake can answer us but sorry, far as signing a girl, must be Nixon.  //  Oral Admirer was Nancy.           nancy.ra                                                                                                   Comment:  President Clinton appeared very distracted as he spoke on television, as if his mind was somewhere else.  His reversals are so graphic and frequent that I suspect his sexual encounter was not more than a few hours before his television appearance.  The "snake" sentence reversal is very metaphorical.  I interpret "snake can answer us" as meaning that deception will serve them.  Going further, I would interpret the rest as follows:  He is sorry that he can not be open or public with the relationship ("signing a girl") since he feels he must be secretive and private with his personal love life ("must be Nixon").  The love making apparently took place on a bath mat in a shower area.  See the confirming reversal by Sandy Berger the next day.


 Sandy Berger:   "[To the extent that the Russians or anyone else] uh, can convince Mr. Milosevic, uh, to accede to those conditions, so much the better.
    So I know weiner was in the showers with Nancy.         weiner.ra
Comment:  Knowledge of the encounter was distracting enough that it diverted the National Security Advisor's attention from the Kosovo topic.  It is unusual for reversals to be unrelated to the subject matter of the forward speech as well as the previous and following conversation.

              Clinton Speaks About China

    On 4-7-99 President Clinton gave a foreign policy speech about China which was carried on  MSNBC.  During his speech he:



    "[China already has broad access] to our markets."
    Sky orbs, they hid the law on us.      skyorbs.ra
Comment:  The sky orbs are probably the communications satellites that China was supposed to  launch for some US corporations.  When the launch was a failure shortly after lift off and US personnel went to check on the condition of the satellite, they found that the board with the encryption chips had been removed from the satellite.  Civilian guards from the US who worked for the corporations and were responsible to safeguard this classified technology had reportedly been compromised by Chinese prostitutes and were less than vigilant.


    "That is the purpose of engagement.  [Not to insulate] our relationship from the consequences of Chinese actions but to use our relationship to influence China's actions in a way that advances our values and our interests."
    Yellow snake is done.      yellow.ra
Comment:  Snake is a metaphor involving deception.  Clinton thinks that China, the yellow snake, has finished its campaign of gaining classified US technology by whatever means necessary.


    "So as we focus on the potential challenge that a strong China could present to the United States [in the future], let us not forget the risk of a weak China."
    There's grief in it.         grief.ra
Comment:  Clinton realizes that his mishandling of China will bring the United States grief in the
future.

REVERSALS BY OTHER PUBLIC FIGURES
Reversals by Juanita Broaddrick
Reversals by Madeleine Albright
 
REVERSALS BY JUANITA BROADDRICK
    On February 25, 1999 NBC aired excerpts from an interview that its news correspondent Lisa Myers had obtained from Juanita Broaddick one month earlier.  Broaddrick alleged that Bill Clinton, when he was Attorney General of Arkansas in 1978, had sexually assaulted or raped her in a hotel in Little Rock, Arkansas.  At the time she had been a volunteer in his election campaign.
 
1978 photo of Juanita and candidate Clinton
This is a 1978 photograph of Juanita and Bill Clinton
with two residents at a nursing home.  She worked as
a nursing home operator and was a campaign volunteer.

Although the statute of limitations has reportedly run out on criminal or civil prosecution for the alleged assault, President Clinton has failed to either admit or deny the charges.  Some speculate that he fears a perjury problem similar to what he had with Monica Lewinsky when he denied having sexual relations with her.  Here are some reversals from Juanita Broaddrick's interview.
 



    "And I sort of [ushered us over to the coffee -- I had coffee] sitting on a little table over there by the window and it was a real pretty window view that looked at down at the river."
    He fu*ked, then how he fu*ked.  The rooster was at a shout.   Juanita1.ra


    "(crying) And then he forces [me down on the bed.  And I just was very frightened, and I tried to get away from him and I told him] 'No,' 'cause I didn't want this to happen (crying)."
    He looks down to me and me fear we get to arsenic.  Hell, fear him, sucks the dirt.  And I hate men, I hate him.       Juanita2.ra
Comment:  Arsenic is a metaphor for her emotional destruction.  Like many rape victims, she generalizes her hatred for the rapist to all men.


    Lisa Myers:  "Last March another woman comes forward, Kathleen Willey, accuses the President of unwanted sexual advances -- why didn't you come forward?"
    Juanita Broaddrick:  "I seriously considered it then.  I would get up sometimes in the morning and I would think:  It's the thing to do.  [I'm gonna do it.]  Then by nighttime I'd think that can bring no good [whatsoever to my life].  And I'm sorry for these women.  I'm sorry for what they went through, [but I just wasn't brave enough to do it.  There's nothing else to say]."
    So it's gonna come out.  //  Hell, I must agree with him.  //  Yeah, it's like a dungeon.  Oh this kind of harem.  So it's hushed to get him.    Juanita.ra
Comment:  Her reversals are consistent with her forward speech, indicating credibility.  Imagine her mental torture, feeling like a member of a harem kept in a dungeon so the truth would be hushed up!

        Reversals By Madeleine Albright, Secretary Of State

    "And I think that our most important point here [now, both of you, is that I think] uh he wants to get on with the job, I want to get on with the job, and the people of the United States want us to get on with our jobs."
    We've had it, say we, with foreplay.        foreplay.ra


    "He chose his words very carefully.  He has no intention or plan for ground troops [except in a permissive] environment."
    December being the best guess.          guess.ra
Comment:  This "best guess" probably came from Pentagon planners.


    "That is one to which Milosevic agrees to have them there as part of a way to [implement a peace plan]."
    Now see Viet Nam.      vietnam.ra
