Here's a transcript of the interview, for those who may not be able to view the video. Note the classic, textbook psychopathic behaviour and demeanor....


_____________________________________

Dan Harris:
Why did you do it? Why did you tell such a big lie to so many people for so long?

Herman Rosenblatt:
It wasn't a lie, it was my imagination. And in my imagination, in my mind, I believed it. Even now I believe it. That she was there, and she threw the apples to me.

Dan Harris:
How can you say it wasn't a lie? It wasn't true, and you know it's not true.

Herman Rosenblatt:
Yes, it's not true. But in my imagination, it was true.

Dan Harris [narrating]:
Rosenblatt says he made the story up to give people hope, and to promote understanding about the Holocaust. But members of his own family say his real motivation was money.

Dan Harris:
You were not motivated in any way by money?

Herman Rosenblatt:
No.

Dan Harris:
This is from your son. He says that he knew you were lying for years, and that he couldn't get you to stop. His quote: "It was always hurtful. My father is a man I don't know." How do you respond to that?

Herman Rosenblatt [eyes cold and angry]:
I don't know. I can't respond to it. I don't know why he said that. Maybe I'll ask him.

Dan Harris [narrating]:
Herman and Rosa told their false story publicly for more than a decade. But it all fell apart about six weeks ago when [it as proven to be a lie].

Dan Harris:
Why did your wife agree to go along with this? Did she ever express any reservation?

Herman Rosenblatt [proudly and defiantly, with a little smile]:
Because she loves me.

Dan Harris:
Why is she not here today?

Herman Rosenblatt [dismissively]:
Because I don't want her to be here today, it's too much.

Dan Harris:
Was it difficult for your wife to have to go out and tell a story publically that she knew wasn't true?

Herman Rosenblatt:
It was. [proudly] But she loves me so much that if she thinks that it's good for me, she'll go along with it.

Dan Harris [narrating]:
Rosenblatt is remarkably unrepetant about his years of lying.

[Clip of Rosenblatt on Oprah is shown]

Dan Harris:
When you look at that, does it make you uncomfortable at all?

Herman Rosenblatt [defiantly]:
No.

Dan Harris:
You think that was the right thing to do?

Herman Rosenblatt [defiantly]:
Yeah.

Dan Harris:
And while you were up on that stage there, in front of all those people, in the back of your mind were you not thinking --

Herman Rosenblatt [defiantly]:
No.

Dan Harris:
-- I'm not telling the truth here.

Herman Rosenblatt [defiantly]:
No.

[Interlude about a filmmaker who is going ahead with a film of the story, despite the fact that has been proven to be untrue.]

Dan Harris [narrating]:
Rosenblatt says he wants people to know that he did what he did with good intentions.

Dan Harris:
If you had it to do over again, would you tell the same story?

Herman Rosenblatt [defiantly]:
Yeah.

Dan Harris [incredulously}:
You would?

Herman Rosenblatt [defiantly]:
Yes.

Dan Harris [narrating]:
Rosenblatt does say that he's sorry, but that he's only sorry that people, quote, "Took the story the wrong way". His book deal for a non-fiction memoir fell through a couple of weeks ago because of this controversy, but a "fictional" version of his book may come out this summer, and the movie version is supposed to start filming this summer as well in Eastern Europe, and they say they're going to carry on despite the criticism.

Dan Harris [with Diane Sawyer]:
Diane....

Diane Sawyer [stunned]:
...I simply don't know what to say....I mean.... it's his imagination? But he knows it's not true...?

Dan Harris:
He made up a fantasy world and he was living in that fantasy world.

Diane Sawyer:
...And his son says... he tried to stop him....

Dan Harris:
Yes

Diane Sawyer:
Good heavens.... OK, thank you, Dan.

Herman Rosenblatt:
It was. [proudly] But she loves me so much that if she thinks that it's good for me, she'll go along with it.

Chilling, sounds like "I got her in total control!" :o

I just came across this thread. The video interview on Yahoo seems to no longer be available, so here's another link of the same interview:

http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/US/Story?id=6903068&page=1

Interestingly enough, I had just finished reading purplehaze's thread:
PREDATOR AWARENESS: Life Preserving Cues and specifically remembered this item:

[quote author=purplehaze]
The Exaggerated Smile = Predator Deception
Easy one, take the time to notice. Empathetic individuals smile with their eyes as well as their mouths.
[/quote]

I noticed that in all the photos where Herman Rossenblatt was apparently smiling, not only were the eyes not smiling, but he had one of the fakest smiles I think I've ever seen.
But anyway, I guess the justification for the blatant lying is similar to the justifications for the words and actions of psychopaths in government(s) as well:

[quote author=_http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article5409220.ece]
“I wanted to bring happiness to people,” he said. “I brought hope to a lot of people. My motivation was to make good in this world.” [/quote]

And then, as if on cue, the authoritarians (clappers, supporters) come out of the woodwork as well:

[quote author=Comment from a poster to the timesonline website]
In times like these, stories like this are always good for the soul. Fiction or Non-fiction, who cares...make the movie and let us feel good about love in such a loveless world.

Tammy, Auckland, New Zealand[/quote]

In other words, who cares if it is a lie? It makes ya feel good, so it must be a good thing!
I smell another book in the offing: Chicken Soup for the Psychopath victim's soul.

The host/interviewer seems justifiably flabbergasted at the whole idea of such an effortless accommodation of a mental contradiction: (Yes it's a lie, but in my imagination it is true...and I still believe it).

That brings me to the real point of this post. As I was assimilating everything, it occurred to me that this kind of hoax exposure will be widespread during the time of the 4th Density transition. I mean the time of the 'level playing field' when everyone will be aware of others' intentions, lies and so forth.

I think a lot of 'normal' people will be, at least initially, utterly stunned and have no idea how to react.
Perhaps this is another idea behind what Laura meant when she said that "the day will come when you will be needed to provide this knowledge to others."

Does anyone else see this in a similar way?

I'd say that "this kind of hoax exposure" is already "widespread", right now. With a new liar/hoaxer/fraudster/con-man being revealed every other day, it seems -- on Oprah no less! -- people are already feeling "stunned" by these developments, not knowing "how to react". Either there are more of these types around now, or for some reason they are no longer getting away with it like they used to. There is awareness of psychopathy and government/corporate deception now, even in the MSM, like I've never seen before; there's even a popular TV show now about how to spot deception, called "Lie to Me". It's nothing near the level of awareness that is needed, of course, but it's a noticeable trend.

I wonder if people are being "prepared" for the "time of the level-playing field", by being made aware that people and situations are not as they appear, so they will start questioning more. Perhaps these incidents will act as a catalyst for those with eyes to see that they need to start searching out knowledge and awareness in this area, and start developing and relying on their "inner detection" abilities.

Perhaps this is another idea behind what Laura meant when she said that "the day will come when you will be needed to provide this knowledge to others."

I think that day may be now.... :/

Hi PepperFritz;

I guess you're right about that.
I've been unable to avoid thinking lately that for all intents and purposes that concern the Work, and at least from some perspective, we could consider that the Wave is already here - just building in strength, like when a tide is coming in. I guess the work of achieving a 4th density awareness/knowledge/protection matrix is still basically the same isn't it?
