Nous sommes fin 2011. Alors que DSK est rentré en France et que l'affaire est close au pénal, les révélations dans la presse du journaliste américain Ed Epstein vont relancer une théorie du complot née pendant l'été : dans une vidéo de surveillance du Sofitel datée du 14 mai 2011, on voit les responsables de la sécurité se mettre à danser, juste après avoir appelé la police. Marine Pradel et Anne-Cécile Genre reviennent à l'origine de cette théorie avec son auteur, Ed Epstein, et la confrontent aux témoignages du directeur de la sécurité du groupe hôtelier de l'époque et à ceux des avocats de Nafissatou Diallo qui, 12 ans plus tard, proposent une toute autre interprétation de ces images...

Penelope Edwards had all but put her life back together in March 2012.  After years of struggling with addiction and psychological problems – so bad that she had turned temporary custody of her two children over to her sister Gloria – Penelope was now sober, working  through therapy, had her children back and even had a new boyfriend – Troy Dunn.  By all accounts, Penelope, Troy and the two kids were living a happy life in Prescott Valley Arizona.  But on March 16, 2012, evil visited that happy home – when Kenneth Thompson, the husband of Penelope’s sister Gloria – after driving 25 miles from his home in Missouri, took a hatchet to both Penelope and Troy in an attempt to “rescue” Penelope’s children from what Thompson believed to be a dangerous environment.  Dangerous how?  Well. It seems that Penelope not only had herself in therapy – her daughter was also seeing a therapist  and her young son, who had been suffering with a severe psychological disorder, was under both therapeutic and medical treatment.  And all of that was working – and contributing to the healing and happiness in the Edwardsd/Dunn household.  Um.  Again: Dangerous how?  Turns out it was dangerous solely in the mind of Ken Thompson – who decided on his own that because the niece and nephew of his wife were being exposed to psychiatry and psychotherapy, they were being, effectively, brainwashed and damaged.  Because that was Thompson’s interpretation of his religion’s belief.  And his religion was The Church of Scientology.  Fortunately, both of Penelope’s kids were away from the house when Ken Thompson made his deadly visit, but her murder, and that of Troy Dunn – who had vowed to raise Penelope’s children as his own, changed those kids’ lives forever.  Join Melissa as she traverses this difficult case of an evil man fraudulently using his religion as a defense against the horrible act he himself committed – and an examination of Melissa’s own experience as a friend of a Scientologist and the question of religious freedom versus religious advocacy.

I’m your host John Haggard On today’s episode, we’re really excited to have special guest Kenneth Thomson with us. Kenneth has a long history in Gallatin. Some people would say, he is the historian of Sumner County, and we’re going to find out about that. And as I understand it, he has dedicated most of his life studying and preserving local history. And if I just mentioned a few of his accolades, board chairman of the Gallatin City Historic District Commission, the Board of directors on the Sumner County Museum, and on the public records commission, the archives board, also a member of the Sons of the American Revolution due to your father-in-law Colonel John Donaldson having served in the Revolutionary War so welcome to the podcast Ken. Kenneth Thomson 1:14 He’s my ancestor and I joined the Andrew Jackson Chapter, and Andrew Jackson was his son-in-law. John Haggard 1:22 Let’s get that. Andrew Jackson was… Kenneth Thomson 1:24 He was John Donaldson’s son in law. John Haggard 1:26 Wow. Kenneth Thomson 1:27 And I joined the Andrew Jackson Chapter in 1964. John Haggard 1:31 You’re also one of the original 15 members of the board of the Bledsoe’s Lick Historical Association. Did I get that right? Kenneth Thomson 1:38 Yes, that maintains Wynnewood and Bledsoe Park. And there are only two of us left, Nathan Harsh, and me. John Haggard 1:44 Wow. And you’re also a life member of the Andrew Jackson foundation that maintains the Hermitage. Kenneth Thomson 1:51 60 years John Haggard 1:52 60 years so what’s that like… I was there years ago just walking through and… Kenneth Thomson 1:56 Oh. it’s wonderful. they’ve really done a lot 60 years down there. And they established, of course, the Andrew Jackson Foundation and they are constantly upgrading everything. and they are fixing to build a new $15 million center down there. So they’re on top of everything. John Haggard 2:14 Now you also have a very long background in the Gallatin area. I understand that your mother’s family has been in the area since 1780. Kenneth Thomson 2:23 80, yes. My father’s been in Davidson County the same length of time, but the Donaldson’s, of course, came down the river. And a lot of families, my mother’s family’s ancestors came with the Donaldson’s on the [inaudible], you know, to Nashville in 1780. So, one of my ancestors here was James Franklin, and his house is still standing down near Station Camp High School. And William Lee Golden lives in it, one of the Oak Ridge Boys. John Haggard 2:53 Wow. So what is the oldest picture you have by year? Kenneth Thomson 2:59 Oldest picture I have? Oh, gosh, we’re going back several hundred years. The fact that we went back to Europe, I have pictures of ancestors in Europe. But I have pictures, as far as Sumner County is concerned, I have pictures of several of my Revolutionary War ancestors. That’s pretty early. John Haggard 3:20 That is very early. And if you were going to give advice on how to preserve pictures that are that old Ken, is there a special process? Kenneth Thomson 3:30 That depends on what medium you’re talking about? Most of those pictures from that time period are either oil paintings, or silhouettes are sketches. And there’s a variety way of preserving those, you know, the portrait conservatory in Nashville can restore an old portrait for you, it needs to be realigned or cleaned or whatever, you know John Haggard 3:52 Yeah. Kenneth Thomson 3:52 And she does all the State Museum work and all the museums in the state and she’s done work for me. So she’s Excellent. John Haggard 4:01 Yeah. So let’s pick it up from 1780. Your mother’s family here in Gallatin. So walk us through the history. What’s gone on since 1780? Kenneth Thomson 4:11 Well, in the 1780s, of course, the revolutionary soldiers from North Carolina came here, the state of North Carolina couldn’t pay them with money for serving in the Revolutionary War. So they gave them land, this was a land grant area. So everybody got a land grant and the smallest amount you can get was 640 acres if you were a private, and it went up with your rank. Generals got 2,000 acres usually. That’s what brought people here, and the waterways, the Cumberland River which feeds this area, and all the tributaries. And station camp Creek has many tributaries off of it. So underground water, Gallatin is built where it is because of the everlasting spring, that’s now under the jail. That land was bought from James Trousdale because of the everlasting spring, John Haggard 4:59 And Ken, you’ve dedicated most of your life to local history. So what was it that got you interested in history when you were so young? Kenneth Thomson 5:07 I lost my mind. I lost my mind when I was about 4 1/2. John Haggard 5:09 Ha, gotcha. Kenneth Thomson 5:11 And it all started when I was four and a half. And we lived on a farm where we had a house here in town, but we also had ancestral land and my grandmother on [inaudible] Road. And this [inaudible] came one day and went to the barn. And I followed my grandmother and the man that worked for us to the barn. And this guy got out of a truck and pull the [inaudible] out of the stall. And I was standing there looking at it, I can remember it like it was yesterday. That’s the worst looking thing I ever saw in my life. And they loaded it on the truck when it came back. It was all redone and everything and I’m sitting here looking at it right now. That was in 1945. John Haggard 5:50 So as you look ahead, now, at this moment in time, what are the projects you are working on that I would say excites you the most? Kenneth Thomson 6:00 Well, probably the museum because we’ve been gifted several pieces of property and I’m working on the house that was gifted to us by John Garrett called Stonewall. And I’m completing the fourth bedroom right now. In fact, I’m going over there when I get through talking to you and painting some pictures in there, and we’ve recently been gifted a big [inaudible] bed and some other things to go in that fourth bedroom. And we’ve been working on this house for a couple of years trying to get it completely furnished. The family left just a number of pieces of furniture, but we’ve had to sort of supplement a little bit and add to it. So that is the project right now, and the project of fixing the house next door to John Garrett’s house that he came up with the money from gift donors to purchase and give it to the museum and it is called the carriage house. But on the register, it shows as a Carriage Factory. It was never a carriage factory. The carriage factory was behind that house, and that house is a big project. It’s going to cost about a million dollars to get it up to snuff and up to code. And that’s our project right now. We’re in the planning for that. So that’s the exciting thing we’re working on right now. If I live…. ha. I hope to see it processed! John Haggard 7:20 Do you mind me asking you since you are the… I would call you the Sumner County Historian. How old are you now? Kenneth Thomson 7:27 79 John Haggard 7:28 79, alright. 79! Kenneth Thomson 7:31 I was elected the Historian of Sumner County in the 70s. And then I moved to Kentucky for a while and they gave it to John Garrett. And he held that title, even though I was back here. He held it until he died two years ago. And then I was reelected by the county court. And they asked me to make a speech when they gave me the award and they made me the citizen of the year too! And I said I know why I got that award because I know the most dead people in Sumner County. John Haggard 7:59 Wow! The most dead people! So tell us about that. The most dead people, you know more dead people in Sumner County than some people know alive people, I guess. Right? Kenneth Thomson 8:09 That’s right. John Haggard 8:10 So tell us about that. Kenneth Thomson 8:12 It all started with my grandmother. And I told you about the [inaudible] when I was 13. She had all these pictures hanging on the wall. And by the way, I have 517 pictures hanging on the wall at my house. John Haggard 8:22 Wow. Kenneth Thomson 8:23 And she had all these old family pictures, portraits and smaller pictures around and I wanted to know who they were and how they were connected with me when I was 13. That’s what got me started. John Haggard 8:35 Wow, okay Kenneth Thomson 8:35 On the genealogy. John Haggard 8:37 Yeah Kenneth Thomson 8:38 Most Americans don’t know who they are. They don’t have a clue. They think they were dropped out of the sky. From their first memory. They think that’s the way the world’s always been, you know, and they don’t seem to realize that it took thousands of people to get them here. Thousands of their ancestors to make them. So you know, it’s fascinating to find out what those people contributed to your being, and your welfare. I’m amused at people who get a divorce, and one of the parents most of the time, the father’s estranged from the children, at least for a while. And they resent him and I said, Well, I’ll tell you one thing, he gave you something that nobody else could give you. And they said, “What’s that?” I said “life”. John Haggard 9:18 Yeah, yeah. Kenneth Thomson 9:20 And you’ve got to forgive. And I know one lady. In her old age, her niece told me.. she said, “my aunt will never die until she forgives her parents for having her”. And you know, she lived to 111. So she finally forgave them at 111 and went on. I can tell you a lot of stories like that. John Haggard 9:40 Wow. Yeah, that is… now if you look at your genealogy tree, yours. What year does it start? And I assume you’ve got this big chart. Kenneth Thomson 9:51 It starts with the Adam lineages. We got you going back to Adam. Now, it depends. I’m more interested in American history, and I have 100 lines personally back to the Revolutionary War. That was my goal when I started when I was 13, and I have 100 lines and I have 70… well, it’s more than that now because the DAR and SAR are letting you use females in patriotic service. But I have 70 males that served, that I have with record… in the Revolutionary War in some way, either as a soldier or a patriot (a patriotic service). I have 100 lines to the Revolutionary War because those lines go farther back. Some of them I have, and some of them I don’t have. And many of them go back to Europe. You know, it’s fascinating. John Haggard 10:42 It is fascinating Ken, and you know, every place has a history but in your opinion, what would you say sets the Gallatin, Tennessee area apart from all the other areas that have a history? Kenneth Thomson 10:53 Because I’m here! John Haggard 10:55 There you go. Kenneth Thomson 10:58 My family was here. And it means a lot to people who are here whose ancestors settled here. They are of course more interested in it than any outsider would be for the most part. But it’s just a good place to live. You know, Reader’s Digest, told us we were the friendliest cities in the United States last year. John Haggard 11:18 You know, I saw that. And that’s something. I mean, do you believe that? Kenneth Thomson 11:23 Oh, yeah, I do. And we have a lot of people.. I’m president of the Historical Society. So we have several hundred members in that. And we have members from all over the country there. And we even have people who live in California that send us a generous check every year, because they’re interested in the history of Sumner County. John Haggard 11:49 From California! Kenneth Thomson 11:49 And it’s just fascinating. For instance, we have, you know, I’m with the museum and the cemetery tour. And the cemetery tour is our biggest fundraiser… Are you familiar with that? John Haggard 12:01 Tell us about that. Kenneth Thomson 12:03 The candlelight cemetery tour. We do 10 characters at least every year, 10 stops, sometimes we have two characters at one stop. And they portray the person that’s buried there, in the first person. And we do that every year. And we have anywhere from 1000 to 1400 people that come to that in one night. It’s candlelit. And it’s just wonderful, you know, and we have some interesting people buried in the cemetery. And when I take people on private tours down there, which I do periodically, I’ll say now we have a lady buried in this cemetery that was the first lady of a foreign country and never went there. Of course, they have no idea what I’m talking about. Then a few people can answer the question, that have a little knowledge of history. When I say she was also the first lady of Tennessee… first. Then they guess. A few come along and guess. And it was Eliza Allen. She was the first wife of Sam Houston. John Haggard 12:55 Okay. Kenneth Thomson 12:56 And she married him, you know, briefly and he was forced to leave the state under the cloak of darkness and woman’s clothes and get on a steamboat. And Eliza’s brother met him at the wharf because he had mistreated her. They met him at the wharf at Clarksville and threatened him if he ever said anything against her. Of course, he never did. But they were married for eight years, even though they were separated after two or three weeks. John Haggard 13:20 Wow. Kenneth Thomson 13:21 And he became president of the Republic of Texas. So that made her First Lady of the Republic of Texas, even though she wasn’t there. John Haggard 13:28 Yeah. Kenneth Thomson 13:29 So then he got a divorce because he fell in love with a Second Life. And the second wife, Margaret was the first lady of the Republic of Texas. And then when the republic became a state, Texas, he became governor and his second wife became the first lady of Texas. So the first and second wives had the same titles, but they were reversed order. Ha. John Haggard 13:48 Yes. Ha! If you can follow all that. Yes, yes. Hey, I also heard that Sumner County from 1800 to 1845 was designated the horse racing capital of the United States. Is that right? Kenneth Thomson 14:04 Tennessee was the first because Sumner County was first. Kentucky was number two. From 1800 to 1845. And racehorses were brought here in 1800 and the first ones brought to Sumner County by Dr. Redmond Dillon Barry, who lived on Nashville Pike. And he brought Bluegrass. And he was an Irishman, a doctor and a lawyer and was colleagues with General Packingham who was involved in the Battle of New Orleans. For England. He was on the English side, the Brittish side. But he brought the Racehorses here 1800 and they first stabled them at Rivergate. [inaudible], where the Donaldson’s lived. he’s stabled those horses down there. Gray Medley was his number one horse. And then he brought bluegrass in because bluegrass grows well here and as well as in Kentucky, because of the limestone soil. [inaudible], and there were several racehorse tracks here in Sumner County, mostly in the Gallatin area. And everybody that was anybody had racehorses here, and Andrew Jackson, of course, came to all of those races. And all the primary figures of that day had horses. Even a preacher had a horse. A Methodist preacher… his wife was against him racing that horse… And he said, well he couldn’t help it because he co-owned it with somebody else… and the other person owned the front end of the horse, and he owned the backend of the horse, and he couldn’t keep his end from running the race! Ha. That was [inaudible] by the way. John Haggard 15:11 Ha, that’s pretty good. You know, as you look now at the next generation, or the upcoming generation, or maybe going back two generations, perhaps to the millennials, as they’re known today. It seems to be more difficult getting younger people interested in history. What do you think could be done to continue that legacy? Kenneth Thomson 15:55 Well, the museum is planning, in this new building we’re going to rehab, doing rotating displays and having a lot of hands-on entertainment, crafts and things like that. And that’s how you get them interested is to show them how things were done and let them be part of it and let them handle even historic items. That works. Groups like to do things like that. John Haggard 16:18 You touched on some of the annual events like the cemetery tour and things that you do if you were just going to say you know, if you’ve never been to Sumner County, here are four or five really big events that you ought to attend. Kenneth Thomson 16:32 Each house has a list of things that they do. A lot of military enactments. And Rosemont, and Bledsoe Park, and Wynnewood particularly have loads of events… and kids like those. The cavalry coming in on horses, they have revolutionary soldiers there. They have Civil War soldiers. You can get the list from tourism or from those houses. And we have a good director at Rosemont, he’s retired military, and he has a list of activities going on through most of next year already. John Haggard 17:06 And so when you are not as officially the Summer County Historian, on your time off, if there is any, what are you passionate about outside of history? Kenneth Thomson 17:17 The Sumner County Archives, and everybody who’s had any association with Sumner County, the legacy, part of the legacy, all of that legacy is housed in the Sumner County Museum. And that’s where you go to find out who you are. And some people don’t know who they are. I was there one day. I was volunteering there some, and a gentlemen came in. He said I know everything about my father’s family. I want to find out about my mother’s family. I said, Well, who was your mother? Well, he couldn’t even tell me her maiden name. I said, you go home and find out who you are and come back. Most people can’t tell you about their grandparents. Their grandmother’s maiden names. And it was said when I was growing up, nobody could tell you who their great grandparents were unless they knew them. Unless they were living in your lifetime. I can tell you who my 4th, 5th and 6th great great grandparents all are. John Haggard 18:05 Wow. That’s good! Kenneth Thomson 18:07 When they were born and when they died. I’ve got their pictures, ha. John Haggard 18:12 Well, Ken, how would, if someone wanted to get in touch with you, they said… Wow, what a podcast I’m a history buff, and I want to talk to him about something he knows or might know that I want to know or something. How can people get in touch with you? Kenneth Thomson 18:26 They can send me an email. rhinescottage@gmail.com John Haggard 18:34 All right, one more time on that. Kenneth Thomson 18:39 rhinescottage@gmail.com John Haggard 18:44 Alright. Is there anything I did not ask you about Ken that you would want people to know about history in general or anything in Sumner County or anything that you’re doing. Kenneth Thomson 18:54 If you study your family history, you’re going to learn a lot, and many adopted people come here that were adopted years ago to find their birth parents. And I’ve helped them in several instances. They want to know about the health problems in that family particularly, and so many things… traits are inherited, you know, weaknesses. And you need to know those things. And of course, I can tell you about my great grandparents. What was wrong with them, what they had. Most people can’t do that. Some doctors will ask you about your grandparents, you know, how they died, or what kind of diseases they had, and so forth. But a lot of these things, inherited social potency, traditionalism, nervousness and [inaudible]. Those things are inherited. And environmental things like aggression, you acquire. And when I was growing up, they tried to teach us that the environment was more important than heredity. That’s not so, You get more heredity than you do from environment.

Most of us see video games as harmless, inter-generational fun: play Fortnite with the kids (or parents) for a few hours, have some laughs, and get ready for bed. Others can't seem to break away. "For some gamers, they develop this excessive pattern of uncontrollable behavior," says Dr. Paul Weigle, a child and adolescent psychiatrist and the Associate Medical Director of Outpatient Programs at Natchaug Hospital. "They really lose control over their use. That ends up causing big problems in their lives." Earlier this year, the World Health Organization included "gaming disorder" in its International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). For some in the video game industry, including Kenneth Thompson, an assistant professor-in-residence of game design at the University of Connecticut, the WHO classification is premature. "Research is ongoing for video games as classification as disorder or addiction," Thompson says. "I think it does a real disservice to people who are going through substance abuse issues and are going through addiction programs to use the same terminology for something that isn't the same." Weigle, Thompson and UConn Gaming Club member Ryan Marsh discuss video games and addiction on the latest Capitol Watch podcast.

In August 2016, the Department of Justice published a scathing report chronicling a pattern and practice of unconstitutional policing by the Baltimore City Police Department. In the waning days of the Obama administration, the City of Baltimore and the DOJ entered into a Consent Decree that requires the BPD to make a number of fundamental changes in its policies and procedures. In April 2017, US District Court Judge James K. Bredar began overseeing the implementation of the Consent Decree, ensuring that the City of Baltimore and BPD do what the Consent Decree requires. One of the things the decree requires is the appointment of an Independent Monitor to serve as the agent of the Court in overseeing its implementation.In October 2017, after a public selection process, Judge Bredar appointed a respected Baltimore attorney, Kenneth Thompson, to be that Independent Monitor. He heads a team of experts in policing and police reform, civil rights enforcement, psychology, social science, organizational change, data and technology and community engagement. Lead Monitor Kenneth Thompson and Deputy Monitor Seth Rosenthal -- both attorneys with the law firm Venable LLP -- join Tom in Studio A to discuss how the Decree-mandated reform efforts are progressing, and the difficult work that lies ahead for the Baltimore Police Department, and for the communities it serves. This conversation was live-streamed on the WYPR Facebook page.
