What person and money is behind Palin Deception blog and website?



At Palin Deception and its accompanying blog, Audrey has for some time continued to push a number of issues related to Sarah Palin’s alleged pregnancy with Trig, and now, to a lesser extent, about Bristol’s alleged pregnancy with Tripp.

That said, a new post by Audrey on her blog Jan. 6, about possible Photoshopping ofr a couple of Sarah Palin pics, brought something that’s been floating in the back of my mind for several weeks to the front.

Here’s the exact comment from that blog post that did it:
Andrea Gusty [from CBS 11 in Anchorage] told factcheck.org that the picture was legitimate. According to factcheck.org, she also provided them with a higher resolution version of the photo, though factcheck.org has never released it; the version on their website is actually LOWER resolution than the one on Flickr. She also told one of my research assistants that the photo was taken on April 13th and that is how Palin looked on that day.

OK, so Audrey has not just A research assistant, but assistantS in the plural.

I’m assuming Audrey is not paying them out of her own wallet. I’m also assuming they’re not working gratis, either out of the goodness of their hearts or because they’re that concerned about the lies of Sarah Palin.

How many research assistants does Audrey have, and who’s paying for them?

And, where’s Audrey from herself? Alaska? Is Sen. Lisa Murkowski paying any of her expenses? Andrew Halcro?

Per her main site, not the blog:
My husband and I are not "left wing bloggers," "conspiracy theorists," or otherwise fruitcakes. I am a childbirth labor coach, a published author in the childbirth field, and a lactation consultant; my husband is a physician who has, until this election, always voted Republican. So we're hardly coming from left field.

Well, I looked for “Audrey” + “childbirth” at Amazon. About half a dozen “Audreys” came up, but the one that most fit the bill?

“Audrey Trepiccione.” From North Carolina. Judging by comments on one blog, evangelical Christian or Messianic Jewish. But, could find nothing about any “Dr. Trepiccione.” Not just in North Carolina, but in the whole U.S., using that phrase in quotes for a Google search

But, via a White Pages search, came up with Audrey and Thomas. Ages listed as 45-49 for both, which is old enough for her to have had four kids and now have them old enough to give her time for something like this. (That said, there’s no information that he’s an M.D.)

If tthis is the same Audrey, it would knock out anybody from Alaska funding her. And, given her “I knew nothing about Governor Palin,” that would certainly stand up if she’s from North Carolina.

But, why, then? Is it because she thinks Palin is a religious fraud? I mean, even Andrew Sullivan, with professional resources and his own concerns, hasn’t dug this deeply, as far as looking at pictures. Nor does he have multiple research issues at the Atlantic dedicated to this issue. So, that explanation couldn’t be enough. Besides, the GOP has been running religious frauds for national office from Ronald Reagan on.

Anyway, anybody wanting to weigh in, feel free.
