Deaf Woman Talking: Raising the Vellum Veil & Debunking Jim Moore's

Perhaps you're familiar with deaf actress Marlee Matlin.  The utube video posted above is from Desperate Housewives episode 17 entitled "There won't be Trumpets".

Marlee's speech in the video is one of many examples of how a deaf person generally sounds.  This consistency is due to flexing their velum in the "lifted" position that blocks the naval cavity.   To further illustrate, try this exercise:  lift your vellum so that the nasal passage is blocked in the same manner as when swimming under water, and then speak while holding it there.  Note the way you sound... just like a deaf person speaking.

That so many deaf persons vocalize just like Marlee Matlin, speaks volumes.  It tells us that because at the intricate and tender age when speech was being formulated, they did nott "learn" the technique of over riding the "instinct" of lifting the velum when using vocals.  Simply put, the use of vocals automatically triggers the velum to rise, and the reason why this doesn't occur when hearing people speak, is due to the fact that during the critical age of speech development, we learned to over ride this instinct by listening and mimicking... right from the get go when vocalizing first words like mama ... dada.

Bottom line, the Aquatic Ape Hypothesis is true... Elaine Morgan is an incredible woman who stood up to the "old boys club", and her thorn in the side, Jim Moore is wrong and by all rights he should eat humble pie, which I suspect won't happen due to "confirmation bias" ...or blatant non conforming to truth for any myriad of reasons, butt one thing I do know, is that either way, his inner twin had influenced his stance as Elaine Morgan's inner twin influenced her stance...  it simply fits in with the inner twin world's "coming out" and "communication" agenda to our outer lives/world.

In the above video, Marlee Maitlin acts the part of a deaf mother who uses her daughter to help communicate because the person she's speaking to is having trouble understanding her speech.  A similar situation is happening with the inner twin world and how they speak to us in the outer world... it would bee hard to understand except that I've learned enough of their technique and am keen to my inner twin's influence to be able to make things more clear-- put the pieces together and translate.
