The Poker Face Analyzed


 

Trying To Understand The Mysterious

For some time now, off and on, Jessie Czebotar, alleged chaplain, whistleblower, SRA survivor has been posting cryptic messages with an image of poker cards, various images and Bible verses.  The tweets will include a link to Lady Gaga’s Poker Face song.  Surprisingly, for someone that calls herself a Christian chaplain, the song contains sexual references, innuendo and vulgar language. Her followers seem confused and unable to comprehend the meaning even though a few question her thinking (see below). They also make no mention of the Gaga song having vulgar content.  Jessie meanwhile makes no effort to explain her meaning in these tweets.


It seems that “Poker Face” is a fitting analogy for the way Jessie carries herself in her videos.  Many people are in agreement that she appears cold and detached.  How can someone who says she has witnessed the ritualistic killings of a 1,000 children a month talk of this without shedding a tear?  Or any number of horrible tortures and be devoid of any hint of remorse or sadness in her countenance?  Even the death of her 17 year old son in a car accident left her fronting a stoic presence and she quickly resumed her daily tweeting and weekly video appearances.  (For those of us who have lost loved ones through accidents it is hard to talk of them without shedding tears.) This certainly makes her look tough and even heroic, but at what cost?  Is this real?  It’s not the normal behavior of a grieving person suffering so great a loss.

Jessie's post and some replies.

My analysis comments are in bold, with the lyrics in italics to Lady Gaga’s Poker Face.  


I wanna hold 'em like they do in Texas, please (Woo)

Fold 'em, let 'em hit me, raise it, baby, stay with me (I love it) LoveGame intuition, play the cards with spades to start

And after he's been hooked, I'll play the one that's on his heart I wanna roll with him, a hard pair we will be (Woo)


A poker face is one that displays little hint of what is going on beneath it.  Great for playing cards or being cross examined in a trial; not for being transparent.  No doubt she has a poker face concealing her intentions uses it often.  Here she is playing a game she enjoys.  In this instance, fooling people and winning.


“Playing spades to start,” is how she has conducted herself from the beginning.  Starting small and calling herself Jane.  “And after he's been hooked…” she tells compelling stories of terror, abuse and redemption to build her Heroic legend and “hook” her followers in.


A little gamblin' is fun when you're with me (I love it, woo)

Russian roulette is not the same without a gun

And baby, when it's love, if it's not rough, it isn't fun, fun


I'll get him hot, show him what I've got.


Jessie is a gambler.  Gambling with lying and seeing how far she can go and keep her fan base and her support team, and hence her cash flow, flowing. 


Russian roulette is the acknowledgment of the perilous game she is playing and with the dangerous people that support her in the upper hierarchy.


Can't read my, can't read my

No, he can't read my poker face

(She's got me like nobody)

Can't read my, can't read my

No, he can't read my poker face

(She's got me like nobody)


Here she is being extremely confident that no one can read her poker face while she is fooling people.  But pride comes before a fall and some of us can read the poker face.


I won't tell you that I love you

Kiss or hug you

'Cause I'm bluffin' with my muffin

I'm not lyin', I'm just stunnin' with my love-glue-gunnin'

Just like a chick in the casino

Take your bank before I pay you out

I promise this, promise this

Check this hand 'cause I'm marvelous


Jessie thinks she is marvelous.  Narcissistic?  She’s bluffing her followers and revels in taking their donated money to the “bank”.  She loves it.  


Notes


The post-chorus, “Poker Face, F——— her face” has been omitted due to lack of relevance. 


From Wikipedia:


“‘Poker Face’ was acclaimed by most critics, who praised the song's robotic hook and chorus. The song attained worldwide success, topping the charts in 20 countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and many European countries. ‘Poker Face’ was the best-selling single of 2009 worldwide, with over 9.5 million in sales that year.
