HISTORY CHANNEL Documentary: "The Secret Lives of Charles Lindbergh" (2009)

Recorded in July, 2009.

[@isabelledetaillefer2726]

Text book Narcissist. Curious to hear about his early life...according to psychologist and NPD specialist dr Sam Vaknin the Narcissist is cast between ages 2 and 4. Great for Mrs Lindbergh that she had almost 30 years of freedom following his death. And that she chose not to be buried near him. She was such a lovely and dignified lady.

@@bokhans - Be quiet. What makes you think your OPINION is the only one that counts? Got news for you, I work in the medical profession and it's the shill's fooling the populations around the world with their claims that Ivermectin doesn't work, but I can assure you that it DID work and a lot of people went home well after Covid, even VENTILATED patients, but once the "New Technology" drugs started being given, many more died. But the money hungry governing officials don't acknowledge those facts, and they have "quieted" those medical professionals that speak out that IT DID work, and many in the U.S.A. have STOCK in these pharmaceutical companies that are making tons of money for people in governments all around the world. You do know that Remdesivir was recalled because it can have glass particles in it? All these "rushed" drugs to be given to sheeple, and threats of job loss, and jail if you don't get the vaccines. However, there is NO way in the U.S.A. that the drugs are safe, because the FDA requires YEARS of clinical trials before releasing medications in the United States. And dumb azzed folks like you think these medications and the Covid vaccine are just fine, but can't seem to wonder or question WHY they want to HIDE DATA FOR 75 YEARS.. In which a Court of the U.S.A. just STRUCK down. People like you aren't to smart, because you don't question things and you believe people that are KNOWN to LIE. The Bible, God's Word to us, says many will be blind (to the truth) and the God's word is playing out, as evidenced by you and many others. You wouldn't see a lie if it was called out in front of you.

Lindbergh's son, Jon, died in my state of West Virginia in August of 2021. He was very famous in his field as one of the earliest Aquanauts in the 1960s.

We only know what happened on the flight going by what he said. What kind of speed was available at the time of his flight? Going by another documentary on here and other reading...he had the baby taken because he wanted to put te boy in a sanatorium because of development issues. But the boy was dropped from the ladder and died. He had the baby cremated after only one local doctor saw the body. Anne Lindbergh was never asked. He was a sick believer in Eugenics. And a boy with developmental problems wasn't going to embarrass him.

This documentary conveniently leaves out the fact that the Lindberghs NEVER stayed at their new home during the week, but only stayed there on weekends. For God only knows why, Lindy ordered his wife to stay there Monday and Tuesday nights. He also ordered that she and all staff were not to go in the child's room from 8-10pm Tuesday night. Hello! Red flag #1. The 'kidnapping' occurred exactly then. As a perfectly punctual man with a perfect memory, he somehow managed to forget that he had a speaking engagement that evening in NYC, which he failed to attend. The only window in a 14 room house that had a shutter that wouldn't close was in the baby's room. The family dog didn't make a peep, but ordinarily barked his head off. There are so many inconsistencies in this 'mystery' it makes one's head spin.

Lindbergh's house in New Jersey was open to the public at one stage and dad and I went to have a look see. The house was described as 'spacious and rambling' but I found it rather boxy. While we were upstairs, dad tripped and put his had on the wall to right himself. Away from the group he said to me 'Listen to this'. He knocked on the wall, and to me it seemed hollow. He knocked on another part...solid! I thought that the hollow part seemed to be plastered and replastered, but there seemed a definite dent if you looked close. Dad reckoned it looked like a secret doorway and while outside in the garden, there looked like an area where another door may have also been at the side of the house. Does this sound strange to anyone else? I have a feeling Lindbergh had secret doorway in the house to slip in and out (apparently he was a notorious prankster - loved to surprise people and fool them). IMHO I feel he used this particular area to go in, take his baby, and to show up at the front door with him in his arms saying 'Look who I found outside'...to surprise the nurse and his wife.....but something happened and the baby died.

As an engineer, I loved the fact that he was directly involved with the Ryan aircraft company in the design of the Spirit. As I read the book and watched the movie with Jimmy Stewart, I rooted for him to stay awake and cheered when he landed in Paris. And now I see the real man, a total narcissist who fathered 13 children by multiple women. A man who had more in common with Nazi ideology than all the rumors I refused to believe. I'll never watch that movie again, despite my admiration of that great accomplishment in 1927.
