Yep, confirmed here slightly after 1:50 timestamp in the video (which is incidentally a very interesting and ironically fitting interview about personality disorders.)
The link seems to be no longer working, just leads to a "no results found" page for me. Did anyone archive the video?

This lady is Leslie Knope's wet dream... Didn't think this overwrought stereotype of an independent woman existed in the real world.


This is a perfect example of being "too honest". Yes, I believe it is indeed possible to be "too honest". I have no doubt many will disagree with me. If it comes down to "brass tacks" and there is literally no way for someone to verify if something is true or not, you don't say a goddamn thing. She fucked herself, twice, over something that was never an issue. She didn't do anything illegal in Spain, so there was no record of what she did, other than her recall of the events in questions. There was literally no way for them to know what she disclosed, other than her disclosure of it. It would be completely impossible to verify since there is no 3rd party source.

I know many people will hem and haw about whether it is "ethical" or "moral", but for something that can literally fuck you entire life, when one did nothing wrong, and there is no external verifiable source, why would anyone willingly disclose said information? Just to be an "ethical" and "moral" person? If so, I hope that keeps you warm at night when you remember that it screwed your entire life.
I doubt most aspiring glowies have such a nuanced worldview.

I think it is more about the polygraph issue. Those federal agencies use polygraphs during these interviews and many people think they are super accurate "lie detectors" (which they aren't) although this perception is probably less common now due to TV and Internet but back when Mary Beth was getting polygraphed that was probably all she knew about them. In reality with a question like this "beating the box" would probably be fairly easy if she used some simple strategies. Some bigger issue which caused her a lot of stress maybe not so much.

I think it's kind of both? Being a convincing liar is an underrated asset for glowy folks. Her display of honesty about a tiny, non illegal, one time in Spain type of ordeal is just stupid in this situation and shows your superiors that you're not even willing omit nonrelated old and forgotten shit in order to keep your dream job. Yeah, I wouldn't trust her with state secrets either. When you walk into that polygraph room with your head full of atrocities, you gotta mentally bury that shit, fuck honesty or morals, if it's your JOB to keep that shit under wraps, that's what you do. She thinks a little hash in a joint years ago was scandalous enough to let her go, just imagine the moral quandaries she might face when running drug ops in foreign countries. She just made for a bad glowy so they ended her contract. If she would have kept her mouth shut for a few more years she would probably be smoking straight hashish with hajis right now.
 
A joint is a non-issue in intelligence, it's basically like what Tits Magee says. Learn to cheat well, and if you can't even cover up a bare minimum level of deviancy, you really, really do not belong in that community.

It's the same thing with really any drug test or basic entry thing for a lot of jobs. Whether you have fucked up or not isn't the damning point. Are you competent enough not to be a liability to your employer? If you have a drug habit or anything similar, do you also have the ability not to out yourself as soon as there is some pressure? If every time you are questioned by someone in authority its time for a confessional, no, you are a liability.

I'd also point out that Mike Janke's role in opsec isn't really intelligence heavy. Its more the hammer being called in and a position thats more akin to government mercenary or hitman. From what I remember, he was also a contractor during OIF, no? He seems to have a decent head enough head on his shoulder to get to where he has in business, but I don't peg much of this family as having a feel for intelligence or actual glowie shit.
 
It's not that uncommon to see disgraceful doctors in America. In 2016 I heard of this Trans-abled cunt who has wet dreams of going blind and one of her doctors who are supposed to do therapy on such a deranged cunt actually put drain cleaner in her eyes as some sort of "solution" to her problem.

30 Years of retardation in America under the control of Bush, Clinton and Obama led those with critical thinking out of the workplace.
This woman showed up on mental health group pretending to be a normal blind person. She also claimed to have D.I.D. They kicked her ass off because she was fetishizing blindness and shit. Was ages ago but remember that the relationship she had with her therapist was definitely not a normal one.

Does she have a thread?
 
Dr. Janke just appeared on FOX News, being interviewed about psychological issues potentially at play in the Gabby Petito case concerning her fiancé.

EDIT: Couldn't believe my fucking eyes lol. I had tuned back in after finishing a program midway through the interview and I was thinking "no way that's her." Then at the end they showed her name and I was dumbfounded. Trying to push new results to the top of Google? Entirely unaffected by the ILJ drama?

Kind of amazing how she just keeps on truckin', hypothesizing about someone's mental state when her own stepdaughter is a bit screwy to say the least.

Really brief, as someone with knowledge of the difference between the training of a PsyD versus a PhD in clinical psychology, I do not trust anything Dr. Janke says as far as I can throw her. PsyDs are raked over the coals in court because that degree does not inherently have the same rigorous research component to it as a PhD (i.e., what gives credibility). People get PsyDs because they aren't cut out for research or the rigors of a traditional program and try to self-enhance by saying that research isn't as important because they want to help people.

I don't have a PhD in clinical psychology but know many who do and they constantly shit on PsyDs.

Psy.D.'s are certainly less prestigious than Ph.D.'s and are indeed very limited on the research side.

However, I would argue that doing graduate level bitch labor research has next to no relevance to psychology as a clinical practice. Running repetitive studies, using quantitative methods, etc. is all stuff you can do, and almost certainly will if you are considering a graduate degree, in undergrad; you do it in your graduate studies as a way of paying your dues, exploring a topic of interest, and oftentimes to "pay off" your degree to the university through bitch labor. This is also why Psy.D.'s, AFAIK, generally carry a greater net cost and degree seekers rarely if ever get stipends from the university.

In short, if your interest is entirely in practicing psychology, you don't need financial support, don't care much for prestige and are prepared to be near the bottom of the barrel when it comes to joining a practice from scratch (generally you would make connections as part of your studies, though, AFAIK), and you don't have any interest in research, then a Psy.D. is a good choice. For everyone else, Ph.D. is the way to go.

I definitely agree that not everyone needs a doctorate if they want to practice/treat people. But that's a situation where you just get a master's for some kind of therapy to prevent yourself from being riddled with debt. I would rather people get relatively inexpensive MS degrees that teach you what you need rather than getting a degree that is touch-and-go on whether it would be credentialed appropriately.

Graduate-level bitch labor for many people getting clinical PhDs is oftentimes fundamental to help them spot things and that statistical training is something that actually becomes REALLY useful when spotting charlatans, malingerers, or fraud on a larger level because you can tell who's fucked up more easily. The clinical training, per these colleagues of mine, will be the same in terms of identifying things for practice with PsyDs, but it becomes another story as to whether these people have the theoretical or empirical training for other topics.

Not saying that PsyDs are inherently incompetent but the lack of research fundamentals in these programs do present severe costs in an understanding of behavior and constructs otherwise inobservable (i.e., trying to measure smoke).
