American Everyman – by Scott Creighton
This morning I wrote an article about the House stenographer, Dianne Reidy, and her short but epic impromptu rant on the floor of the House during the final vote for the “kick the can down the road” act of the great Government Shutdown Crisis Theater production of 2013.
It was a good article and I pointed out, she made some valid points.
But a reader, Aris Tocles , may have made an even more valid one.
” Go back and look at the video from the beginning. A gray haired man, presumably a congressman approaches her as she is gathering her stuff up. He says something and then she just gets up like a Stepford Wife and goes to the podium to give her rant.” Aris Tocles
I’ve always said I learn more from you guys, than you do from me and today might just prove my point.
I went back and took a look and guess what I found? Most of the news coverage which uses the C-Span video in their coverage of this odd event, edit the beginning out, so they start with Ms. Reidy already on her way to the podium.
Even all of the Youtube videos do the same thing.
But… if you go to the original source, the C-Span video, what you find is exactly what Aris up there describes.
Reidy is sitting there, smiling, talking with some woman and the grey haired man is slowly making his way toward her. Reidy starts packing up her stenography equipment and the grey haired congressman leans in, says something to her, then at one point he nods to her and she immediately pushes the equipment to the side, stands up, and starts walking to the podium.
The grey haired man then stands around in the front where he was watching her ascend to the podium, turns as she is about to start, texts someone something, and then watches.
It’s very odd.
I took several screen-shots from that exchange and there is no denying something happened between Dianne and “grey-haired guy” just before her stunt.
Check out the screen-shots and tell me what you think.
You have to watch the C-Span video to see him and her interacting as most Youtube and MSM videos have edited out that part. But you can clearly see her talking to him, him nod, and her get up and go straight to the podium.
It’s very odd indeed.
What’s also odd is the fact that this woman would be sitting there doing her job, laughing and talking with that other woman, and then just up and walk to the podium and end her career in the House of Representatives.
Do you have any idea what she just gave up? She can’t work there anymore… ever. She gave up her career to make that statement. And she did so like someone getting up from their desk to go get a cup of coffee.
She gave up her paycheck, her insurance, her pension perhaps…
… and she did all of that after the grey-haired man nodded to her.
She didn’t even turn to see if anyone was at the podium before she rose… as if she knew the coast was clear before turning around.
Aris thinks it looks like Tea Party favorite Rob Bishop of Utah. Let’s see:
The guy’s got some pretty distinctive hair, especially the sideburns. It could very easily be him.
At the end of the C-Span video, grey-haired man turns to the camera and for a brief second you can see his face full on.
Now I don’t know what all of this means. It could be she just suddenly felt the power of the Lord tell her to get up and make her statement regardless of the dire circumstances that will befall her as a consequence.
But Aris did have a valid point. It damn sure looks like this guy set her in motion toward her brief encounter with history.
Nice catch Aris.
Verrrrrry interesting, as Arte Johnson used to say on Laugh-In.
Purpose?
Any thoughts on this, anyone?
Stepford Wife?
I don’t know why but I can’t really believe that she would throw away a career, pension and healthcare just to speak from the dai of the House of Representatives.
I personally think all of that session last night was all theatrics EXCEPT this ladies rant.
If the case turns out that she did say “Do not be deceived. This is NOT a house divided” then I have to say, she made very good use of the time she had on the microphone.
In spite of the pretense, we do not have a divided house… for they all serve the god of Mammon. And that is a fact. We all see it, we all know it. This latest “crisis” once again reminds us of that all too painful truism. There is one party, the Business Party, and you will learn to love the Party or be cast out.
HaHaHa 🙂 , OK #1, ya know this Dianne Reidy and this grey haired guy were just playing telephone – ya know like that Guilda Radner and her “phone operator” skit on Laugh-In. Ha remember that dirty old man on the park bench?, well maybe this grey haired man was like the dirty old man on the park bench on Laught-In and he peed off this Dianne Reidy trying to hustle her – talking dirty to her 🙂 – of which may have been what triggered this outburst 🙂 . I better shut up eh #1 🙂 🙂
That was Lily Tomlin and her character, Ernestine!
Gilda Radner was from Saturday Night Live. If my memory serves it was Artie Johnson also did that one.
**The dirty old man.
Ha Ha you are right there rums. I thought about it and was going to change that name but you beat me too it. 🙂 That was Lilly Tomlin, and wasn`t she the one that was sitting on the park bench with the dirty old man 🙂 . I`m just checking my memory ya know, rums and #1 🙂
That was Ruth Buzzi on the park bench with Arte Johnson
I have never been good with names Paula. Always did like Laughin 🙂 🙂 .
Hey there Digger-I loved Laugh In in my WAY distant past! Whatever happened to really funny stuff like used to be on TV. We don’t even have a TV anymore-just a waste of time nowadays. Pay to have 600 some channels, and yet nothing to watch! Crazy!
Yes, I know Paula. If I watch tv it is pbs and old classic westerns and comedy mostly. Old classics are the greatest I think. 🙂
One ringy dingy….. a two ringy dingy…. 🙂
Yes Henry, those realy were the days back then. Memories ya know. 🙂 🙂
You bet your bippy! 🙂
That whole little scene does seem pretty odd. If anything, what that woman said was the first tiny bit of truth I’ve heard from capitol hill in years. And of course, they had her thrown in a mental ward for saying it.
If this was orchestrated with the “gray haired” man, I’m wondering if this was another attack on “fundamentalist Christians” to make them look like they are off their rocker! I’ve been seeing all kinds of attacks against Christians, including they are “domestic terrorists”, etc. Another “crisis actor” scheme? Seems everything that happens these days is an “illusion”. But behind the illusion, the master plan to make good look evil, and evil look good continues
Wouldn`t suprise me for a second Paula. Yep, good observation, wouldn`t suprise me one bit.
Her comment was to the Freemasons like she had an argument to settle or point to be made with Freemasons (speculation that the house is full of devil worshiping freemasons from her point of veiw)..what i get out of this is they are a majority freemason
This shit was fake. If she wanted to cause a scene she would have crawled her ass up there during the debate or simply stood up and started yelling about the Zionists NOT the free masons. End of story!
I agree.
And let’s not forget the world bank whistleblower recently interviewed saying how the jesuits have a stranglehold on china/asian economy. And how US money goes to UK and then to the vatican. Sounds like the khazar ‘jews’ are trying to demonize the christians again and get some heat off themselves.
Other than that, the mechanical way she walked up to the podium creeped me out. Kinda like hypnosis or something.
Who’s the gray haired older guy ‘programming’/handling her?

You will not defend the Masons on this site just because some of them in the early days were Christians.
During World War II, Alister Crowley came to this country to sit out the war. He was named Grand Master and created all of the rituals now used by the Masons. And I promise you, they are an abomination to the ideas contained in true Christianity.
I understand Christians standing up against the blatant attacks they are under and I have seen several comments coming from you. If the latter is your intent, stay on point and be definitive.
The Constitution was written by Masons. In fact it is almost a carbon copy of the Masonic Constitution.
The Bill of Rights, on the other hand, are God given and are the representation of we the people in the Constitution.
Sort it out and stop condemning this woman for having the courage to speak the truth in spite of the consequences she is now facing.
there is 3 men involved. the grey hair guy-he is joined by the bald headed guy but the third guy walks past the woman on her way to the podium and then stands front row. when she is grabbed he turns around and joins the other two.
also the alternate stenographer just sits and prepares as if she knew she was going to start work. She pays no mind to the other woman even though it looks in the beginning to be helping the first woman to set up the equipment.
