Psychological operations are alive and well and you can demonstrate this to yourself easily.
Ethical considerations may range from the most evil to benevolent and obvious.

As with interrogation techniques, to understand them is to be able to defend yourself against them.

here's some thoughts, I found interesting, if not prescient.

Some very clever, but misleading statements, I think.

Applying personal finance math to countries is a fallacy to start with.
And he directly considers all costs linear.
We all know that is untrue.

As a basic example, when I give wikipedia a few dollars, is my life badly affected?
Clearly not.
But the mass donations may keep free information available.
Losing that would have a negative effect on me, maybe very costly too.

It's not always either/or questions.

Very devious of him to shape it that way though.

The point is, if you can get people to believe that the drug supply is poisoned, then it doesn't matter if it's true or not.

It won't get anyone to stop, but I doubt if that's the point of that operation.

I was waiting for our so called security agencies to pull the same crap that happen in 911 and prompt Obama into doing the house cleaning that the Bush and Dick show should have done, but we know they had a hand it in for making the claim of WMD's iraq. This little incident was intended to be an embarrassment for OBama and he's not going to stand for it.

Heads are going to roll in the FBI, CIA and those clandestine departments you never hear of. Bout'time! We just had to wait 8 years and a real excuse to clean up!

Banks not loosing up the credit- their little payback to help prolong the depression cuz of the limits on executive pay in the tarp and the upcoming new bank regulations. Fuck those rich bankers. We fuck them finally up their ass instead of the other way around!

Now for the new capital gain taxes to pay for the republican eight years of tax cut and spending poor people's money!

Zeus, haven't you heard that criminality and criminal negligence get rewarded by our presidents? No firings Mr. Obama? Indeed. They deserve medal of freedom awards, right?

that is a good point, UD.

I wish, somehow, candidates would quit saying how incorruptible they are, how they'll have everything "out in the open" , be transparent, etc..........

I know they have to say, it, but, really, who believes them?

knowmad · Post by **knowmad** » Fri Jan 08, 2010 1:26 pm

In all honesty my previous post should have gone on a different thread, maybe the Bashing Christians unabashedly one and not on the Political one. So I will use this as a Shameless plug at furthering the Cause Revoking the Tax Exempt Status of Churches and Religious Organizations is a political stance and not a Just-for-fun-snorking-expedition.

ok, I may be slow, but, I don't see this addressing whether you feel those statements, are valid or not?

knowmad · Post by **knowmad** » Fri Jan 08, 2010 5:02 pm

Not realy eating troll bait you are not really slow, you've confused Smart and clever, and I suspect you were lazy enough to not Google Modus ponens. Become a bit more Self Reliant and do your own home work.

ygmir · Post by **ygmir** » Fri Jan 08, 2010 6:10 pm

well, true, I have no college education........but, I still don't see any statement, by you, regarding your attitude or opinion towards the original 5 "statements", taken alone, as they are, author not withstanding.

It's not that I so much care what your opinions are on the matter, more so, it's curiosity as it pertains to the rest of what you write.

I don't understand your reference to "eating troll bait".......but then again, I miss a lot of subtle tech/internet references.
