Interpreting Media: TV Mind Control NLP

Fox News strikes again with yet another double speak interview; this time with Kevin Barret, professor of Winconsin U. The Kitchen Synch blog got there before me, so here are three < ten minute interviews at Interpreting Media – TV Mind Control.

Fox News “journalists” of the “most powerful news network on television,” (so they say) slaughter yet another interview of what could have been enlightening information by a college professor with their rude, manipulative, adolescent mentality.

I still remember when Fox News monkeys did this to Dr. Joseph Mercola when he addressed avian flu in his book. The “journalist” doing the interview actually pretended to be Dr. Mercola’s good friend at first, but when the on air interview time came, this “journalist” went berserk with the NLP in order to attack, berate, and defame Dr. Mercola with NLP terms like “water rolling off a duck’s back” to describe the evidence around bird flu as they showed ducks in a lake. Then the interviewer called him a “quack” during narration.

Although these so-called reporters are rude and manipulative, and no good information ever comes across to the audience through these discrediting type interviews because of constant Fox Newsesque interruptions, these so called “interviews” really do give the best demonstrations of NLP on TV.

I’ve mentioned Tavistock Institute somewhere in my blog before; as I mentioned before, they helped the political factions get WWII started, most likely helped Bush convince the people that invading Iraq is “good,” and helped the multinational pharma co’s get 80 to 90% of the American People beginning in grade school to get hooked on prescription drugs among a lot of other distasteful activities.

Tavistock counselors are most likely coaching Fox News “journalists.” It’s clear that Tavistock has no moral compass about who they help with what activity. It probably has something to do with “who can pay their price.”

I don’t watch Fox News. I do catch it sometimes when someone else has it on. The problem is this “most powerful news network on TV” makes me sick with their nonsense. Monty Python’s Flying Circus makes more sense compared to Fox News. At least, Monty Python nonsense is laughable – unlike Fox News “journalists” laughing at their audience because they know they’re getting away with…

If you have no time for nonsense, but would like a convenient ebook on Tavistock Methods including NLP and power persuasion tactics to take with you, study, and implement where ever you go, then please have a look at Keys to Power Persuasion:

 

Persuasion Secrets Revealed At PowerKeys Publishing
Discover the secrets of persuading others to your way of thinking. Make anyone do anything once you learn the secret keys behind the science of persuasion.

P.S. I have to ask you something: Would you allow anyone to speak rudely to you and constantly interrupt you with their discursive, adolescent banter while they do their little sign language to you as you tried to give an important speech on your work? Probably not.P.S.S. At Al Neal Mind Control, I refer to a 2 hour video by Al Neal. This video might be available in stores like ebay or some other strange place if you don’t have broadband.

In the video, Al Neal refers to “Atlas Shrugged” by Ayn Rand. Ayn Rand was a courtesan of one of the Rothschild Brothers who are described at my site, Evil Mind.

Within “Atlas Shrugged” is a kind of fiction wherein the main character is literally telling the reader, “don’t think for yourself – you don’t have a mind of your own – leave the thinking to the experts…” among other horrid things.

According to Al Neal, “Atlas Shrugged” is proudly displayed in the homes of members of the illuminati (high ranking members of skull & bones, freemasons, Bilderberger members, etc.).

From the evidence, “Atlas Shrugged” is a kind of ‘bible’ philosophy shared by these people and seems to be philosophy shared by the “journalists” of Fox News; they don’t want you to think for yourself. You should leave the thinking to them, the “experts.” They know their audience – too well.

Art of Prose: How JK Ellis Changed His Name

About 4 months later after I published an essay in a contest held by JK Ellis, his name is now Dantelion Jones. That name came out of the blue, but that fact that he changed it was my fault – and I’m feeling somewhat guilty. I didn’t think it was possible until it happened, but this essay that I wrote especially for JK Ellis actually caused him to change his name.

If you look back at the first post on this subject, Art of Prose: rapport, I specifically wrote, “There are elements in this story that appealed especially to JK Ellis – elements of which he is probably not aware, but you will be…”

Now, I’m making you aware. There is an imbedded command in that essay that I wrote specifically for JK Ellis. In this writing contest JK Ellis asks people to write the most evil, slanderous things they could possible imagine about him while still maintaining some elements of truth.

As a subscriber to his email marketings, I had learned several things about JK Ellis: He likes to quote famous people; He likes Milton Erickson mind control methods; and he courts darkness.

In the essay I wrote (#12), there is no real judgement or labeling going on that you read in the other essays at http://mindcontrol101.com/essays.html; it’s all a sensual experience attached to concepts told in pretty much the way that Erickson would tell to his patients. I also happen to be a big fan of Erickson because of his story telling methods that would directly relate to his patients and their mind patterns. In fact, I’ve been a fan of his work for decades.

What’s interesting about this story is that it contains many elements of truth – scary irrefutable truths mixed in with half truths interlaced with intensely sensual imagery as it relates to those truths as experienced by a central character – a method that Erickson never really revealed in his notes. You had to listen to him. I suppose you could say he was using the politician’s method as discussed by Alan Tutt in Keys To Power Persuasion, but in the context of a story.

Our central character likes traveling to explore bizarre, paranormal things. I also had the sense that JK Ellis has a passion for the same; this along with several elements I discussed earlier on Art of Prose established JK Ellis’ rapport with the central character.

Let me sum up the truths for you from the essay, first: There actually is a restaurant where fried bologna is a favourite in Dayton, Ohio at an intersection of Highway 4 where Marl Road splits off. Military officers actually do like to stop at this restaurant. Marl Road really is surrounded and shadowed by tall trees; it’s also a restricted road because it leads straight to the tarmac of Wright-Patterson AFB, a fabled area for strange UFO sightings. I’m pretty sure that JK Ellis probably had all of this at the back of his mind as he read the essay.

There are also the Ellis Town Truths: There really was an Ellis Town in 1883, but in the UK. The town really was made of brick and metal rails with a cobblestone road. The women’s fashion back then really were those suggestive jersey dresses if not steam punk with nothing underneath. The attitudes back then really were sexually free with harlots roaming the streets. You could say that I did my research because the image I painted is historically accurate.

Now, for the half truths: Ellis Industries really does exist, so I made up this super secret, 3rd party security force, “JK Ellis Industries.” The Shadow Beast was taken from the Montauk Project; there are actual pictures of this shadow beast destroying a building in the book. Supposedly it was the manifestation of Duncam Cameron’s dark side when he was in the Montauk Chair. Shadow Beast also represents the darkness which JK Ellis consistently courts in the form of his “mysterious” persona.

This Shadow Beast also manifests itself as a beautiful, exotic woman, Esprit Contrôle, who makes our central character feel really good and strong at times when he was at his weakest. Our central character courts the shadow beast just as JK Ellis courts his. He doesn’t want any common harlot. He wants the woman who gives him power, the Shadow Beast.

Oh yes, the clicking in our protagonist’s head: The clicking sound is due to a directed beam of microwaves at the cerebrum. There are several U.S. patents that describe this process for using microwave beams to deliver subliminal suggestions directly to the human mind. Supposedly, the Shadow Beast was also precipitated from the ether using the same microwave antenna array used for mind control during the Montauk Project. The same beast is able to direct microwaves in the same fashion – in theory.

There are also the vastly empty fields on either side of Marl Road. Supposedly, these fields are where strange things land and set up shop as an extension of “aerospace research.” There are theories floating around that these fields are not actually empty, that this is just an “illusion.” Since space and time are inextricably connected, I came up with Ellis Town in one of those spaces in a time bubble, 101 years ago. That 101 Sound familiar?

I have to admit. I crafted so many elements into this story that when I look at it again, I amaze myself. For example, JK Ellis said that a requirement of this essay was that the URL, mindcontrol101.com had to be mentioned at least once. I found several ways to covertly and subconsciously insert this term:

“MCIONNDT1R0O1L:” The words, mind control 101 embedded within itself.
“Bewusstseinskontrolle LOL:” German for Mind Control; LOL, a play on 101.
“101 Lortnoc Dn IM:” Obviously, it’s spelled backwards.
“Esprit Contrôle… She laughed out loud:” French for Mind Control; laughed out loud, another play on 101
“don’t come…” A play on dot com.

Now for the truly covert elements. Carl Jung had a regular trigger statement for his patients, “Who looks outside dreams, who looks inside awakes.” When you dwell on what this means, you will actually go into a trance. In fact, Jung would ask his patients to quietly ponder what that statement means to them. By using this same trigger, we can cause a person to be open to suggestion.

Our central character had already established rapport with JK Ellis by the time he heard this Jungism in his mind. As the story continued this caused JK Ellis to really see the story with his mind’s eye as he read it without any critical analysis.

Throughout the story, JK Ellis probably identified more with the central character than Ellis Town or JK Ellis Industries – Mainly because that central character is courting the darkness, the shadow beast, the sensuous, exotic woman who makes him feel good. JK Ellis Industries and their “tour” was making our central character feel pretty miserable and helpless through most of the story. The only saving grace was our lovely shadow beast, Esprit Contrôle.

At the end of Ellis Town, our protagonist has an altercation with JK Ellis Industry Military Personnel, one of them a highly decorated officer. He beats these military personnel to a pulp and shoots them. This happens after one of the officers calls our central character Mr. Ellis, to which he violently responds, “My name is not Ellis!” Thereafter, he steals away Esprit Contrôle.

Since JK Ellis identified more with the central character while he despised JK Ellis Industry Personnel as he left Ellis Town behind him, that was the nail in the coffin for JK Ellis. Now, there’s Dantelion Jones. I deeply apologise to JK Ellis because I had no idea that words on a page could do that – until now.

I guess that makes me dangerous in a way, but I choose to be a HealingMindN, so I’m not out to get anyone, not consciously.

Thanks for your time,

Randolph

Trance Logic of Higher Price

Here’s a little secret about my trance logic. Don’t tell anyone. I grew up with an irrational family. In fact, I recognised how irrational a lot of adults were as I grew up – especially my teachers. My friends and a lot of other school mates were also irrational because they wanted to emulate the adults.

I’m pretty sure that I was also infected by that irrational bug; as you understand, it’s not a question of if, but in how many ways. My trance logic tells me that I can teach you something; that’s why you’re here.

I tried to combat what seems like irrational behavior in the past. In the process, I have sacrificed social status and relationships. I have learned that it’s better to go with the flow of irrationality in culture in order to survive rather than try to change the predominant mind patterns around me, so I end up teaching people how great they are.

What I didn’t know (and what your social studies professor did not want you to know) is that there is a new branch of research that is actually studying irrational thinking – and even more interesting is that . . .

The research is mounting that our irrational choices are actually predictable.

This revelation has significant impact because some of this new knowledge about human thinking and behavior is being used to manipulate you. Often it’s used to direct you into making decisions that are not in your best interest. So I think knowing more about this is essential.

Thankfully, Dan Ariely, a professor at Duke University, just wrote a book summarizing the latest research in this field (behavioral economics). His book, Predictably Irrational, is a must-read. You can get it at Amazon or any other bookseller.

The research: price affects athletic performance

Here is one study Professor Dan did on physical stamina:

Dan’s team stationed themselves at the university gym. They offered an energy drink to student exercisers. The drink claims to “elevate your game.” To one group, they charged the regular price for the drink. To the other, the researchers marked the drink down to 1/3 of the regular price.

After the students exercised, the researchers asked the students if they felt more or less fatigued than they normally did after a workout.

Both groups of students said they felt less fatigued than normal.

But, get this. The students who drank the higher-priced version of the drink felt less fatigue than the group that paid 1/3 the price! This is a weird variation of the placebo effect. The students are obviously going by the judgemental heuristic that if it’s a high price, then it must be good.

(If it was me, and a market research group wanted to make me their guinea pig, I would want it for free – but don’t tell anyone…)

The research: price affects mental performance

The exercise test was based on self-reporting. Here’s a study on mental agility:

To validate the results, the researchers did the same experiment in a different setting. They gave two groups of students anagram puzzles to solve. One group did the anagrams after drinking the full-priced energy drink, while the other group had drunk the discounted energy drink.

In this case, the group that drank the higher-priced drink (remember: it’s the same drink!) scored 28% higher on the anagram tests. Does that seem crazy? (What may sound crazier still is something that I said in an article a while back. I’d like to reiterate it: We are all in a trance state; that trance, whether positive or negative, influences our performance in real life. You can read more about this phenomenon in Constructs of Belief.)

There are more studies, but I’m not going to cite any more intellectual property from Dan’s research. I recommend you read Predictably Irrational if you’re interested.

What this means to you

The point is that it’s not rational for a lower price on an identical product to lower the results of the product, but there is overwhelming evidence that it does. It is a predictably irrational behavior.

The mechanism here seems to be that the lower price lowers “expectancy,” which in turn reduces the placebo effect. Volumes could be written about the placebo effect, and the power of belief to create tangible results in performance and healing (both positive and negative trance logic).

Now you know what’s going on when you see those junk mail ads for weak nutritional supplements at ridiculously high prices, yet the literature touts it as the greatest thing since the fountain of youth.

Those advertisers know exactly what they’re doing; they’re taking advantage of your trance logic.

What about that circuit exercise machine that’s been in magazines for years? Have you seen it? It’s always advertised at around $14, 600? In fact, the materials and workmanship make it look like a maximum of around $2000. But the rational in the ad is fascinating: The rational is that you’re going to be sold on it later if not now, then you’re going to sell it to your friends, and so on and so forth.

You know why that machine works so well? Because at $14,600 it better work! You can believe that after that major investment that a person is going to set aside at least four minutes a day for vigorous exercise. The machine itself isn’t that much better than the most expensive bowflex system, but the higher price forces purchasers to use it – out of obligation. The trance logic is, “At that price, it MUST WORK!

Would four minutes of vigorous exercise a day without that machine produce the same results? If your mind pattern and trance logic tells you that you are going to be in shape doing a vigorous set of squat thrusts, pull ups, and jump rope, then YES.

Ask any pro athlete; they do functional exercises according to their discipline which has little to do with the “ROM.” On the other hand, if you’re a CEO of a big company with little time on your hands, then it kind of makes sense; this must be the market. (I just can’t see the average blue collar going deep into hock for the “ROM” because they don’t get enough exercise.)
The relationship between the placebo effect, judgemental heuristics, and the trance state is even more interesting and open-ended. But let’s end here for now.

Hopefully you’ll get time to read Professor Dan’s, Predictably Irrational.

Have a great weekend.

Sincerely,

Randolph, Medicine Man at HealingMindN

P.S. The price of oil, thus, the gas we get at the pumps is the biggest, most obvious example of irrational behavior affecting price. The economic analysts at Elliot Wave International blame the prices, not on lack of oil, but on “Fearful, bullish moods by investors:”

Crude oil rallied to a new all-time high on Friday, July 11 – $147.27 a barrel, intraday. But glance at the headlines, and it’s hard to call the reasons analysts cite as the cause for the $5-rally as bullish news. It all boils down to “tensions between Iran and the West and worries about supply” – same old “concerns” that have been with us for months…

Read the rest of this article at $147 Oil: What Is Driving Up Prices?

Influencing social mood: example

I don’t like to focus on bad things or bad influences in this world because that tends to give those bad things power. I like to focus on the good things and your real power to change your reality. For now, let me give you an example of mainstream media that endeavors to take that power away from your reality by replacing it with fear and rumors of wars.

The following extract is from cnn.com:

Global warming could increase terrorism, official says

Global warming could destabilize “struggling and poor” countries around the world, prompting mass migrations and creating breeding grounds for terrorists, the chairman of the National Intelligence Council told Congress on Wednesday.

Climate change “will aggravate existing problems such as poverty, social tensions, environmental degradation, ineffectual leadership and weak political institutions,” Thomas Fingar said. “All of this threatens the domestic stability of a number of African, Asian, Central American and Central Asian countries.”

People are likely to flee destabilized countries, and some may turn to terrorism, he said.

“The conditions exacerbated by the effects of climate change could increase the pool of potential recruits into terrorist activity,” he said.

“Economic refugees will perceive additional reasons to flee their homes because of harsher climates,” Fingar predicted. That will put pressure on countries receiving refugees, many of which “will have neither the resources nor interest to host these climate migrants,” he said in testimony to the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming.

Reactions to the report broke down along partisan lines, with Democrats generally praising it and Republicans expressing doubts. Committee members had concerns about the report’s secrecy, reliability and use of intelligence resources.

Global warming may have a slight positive effect on the United States, since it is likely to produce larger farming yields, Fingar said…

Wealthy countries will be able to handle the situation better than poorer ones, he said…

The impact of fighting and preparing for climate change may be greater than the effect of global warming itself, Fingar said…

Fingar said the intelligence community had relied on the science of others because it did not itself monitor climate change. He said the assessment was based on midrange predictions of global warming.

Oh, dear.

There’s also petty theft in the US because of global warming and economic depravity. Does that mean everyone is potentially a terrorist the worse things get? Of course not. “Terrorist” is just a convenient label that eliminates any grey areas.

You saw that last statement from the article. This finger person is building inverted pyramids by relying on the science of others. He’s making grand assumptions.

The problem is as I stated in the post, Social Mood: Influencing the Elements: Mainstream media shapes public opinion. Public opinion becomes social mood, then social mood precipitates social patterns including whatever dramatic/traumatic events induced by that mood.

I’m not saying that the people precipitated the events of 9/11/01. The problem is that most people allow their emotional securities to be shaped and molded by mainstream media in such a way that they do not clearly comprehend and mostly deny all the facts behind the events of 9/11/01; such facts do not jive with the reality of the presiding social mood and emotional securities. They prefer the negative hallucinations which they label, “conspiracy theory.”

Most people do not want to face the reality of implicating their authority figures for any kind of wrong doing. Most people do not want and do not like the idea of having control over their own lives. Most people do not want to think and feel for themselves; they weren’t raised that way. They want the newspapers, magazines, TV, and big screen movie actors to do that for them. “That’s what authority figures are for…” is what they say.

You know what? I agree with you. “That’s what authority figures are for…” as long as they’re good people. So here’s a bit of advice, a rule to live by, a law of living life, holy scripture. If you’ve never heard this one, it’s time to get back to your roots, you lazy bastard:

Matthew 24:

[1] And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
[2] And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
[3] And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
[4] And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
[5] For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
[6] And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
[7] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
[8] All these are the beginning of sorrows.
[9] Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.
[10] And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
[11] And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
[12] And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
[13] But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
[14] And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
[15] When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
[16] Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
[17] Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
[18] Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
[19] And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
[20] But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
[21] For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
[22] And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
[23] Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
[24] For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
[25] Behold, I have told you before.
[26] Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
[27] For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
[28] For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
[29] Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
[30] And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
[31] And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
[32] Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
[33] So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
[34] Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
[35] Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
[36] But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
[37] But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
[38] For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
[39] And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
[40] Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
[41] Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
[42] Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
[43] But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
[44] Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
[45] Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
[46] Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
[47] Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
[48] But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
[49] And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
[50] The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
[51] And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

earmarks

Pork Barrel Remains Hidden in U.S. Budget published today via NY times proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the economic focus of “lawmakers” is any where else but on the current financial crisis facing the American Citizens.

Whereas billions of dollars of taxpayer money could have been directed to alternative energy technologies and advanced healing technologies to reduce costs to the American Republic, instead that money is directed to “personal favourites” like a Christian broadcasting group to build a shortwave radio station in Madagascar, a program to save hawks in Haiti, efforts to fight agriculture pests in Maryland and an “international fertilizer” center in Alabama that assists farmers overseas.

(There were more than 10,000, costing nearly $20 billion last year, according to the Congressional Research Service.)

These “lawmakers” of Psalms 73 have made it obvious that they are completely out of touch with our present economic troubles; they simply have their own interests. Does this seem like the kind of people who should be running an entire democratic country – much less running around free outside of cages where they should be?

That’s not what really grabbed me about this article. What really grabbed me is the terminology and the application thereof: “earmarks.” To me, it’s bad enough that there’s still pork barrel spending during this inflation, recession, or whatever it is at the moment.

These capitol hill monkeys also have their own clandestine terminology surrounding this free-for-few spending which further proves how far out of touch they are with the people they should really be helping. (Isn’t this the reason that the Marcos Family was ejected from office in the Phillipines?)

This article points out the difference between “soft earmarks” and “hard earmarks.” Here’s an example of a soft earmark. The language is that of a respectful suggestion: A committee “endorses” or notes it “is aware” of deserving programs and “urges” or “recommends” that agencies finance them; this is the sort of talk one might hear in a Simpsons cartoon.

Hard earmarks have exact information including threats of budget cuts. Soft earmarks come with the implicit threat of hard earmarks. This is similar to a game that kids might create on a playground – and if you don’t play this little game exactly the way you’re supposed to, your budget is cut.

The American Republic doesn’t know how to play this little game, so our budget are cut too – unless we happen to work for a sweetheart organisation that’s set for an “earmark” on capitol hill. (This post does not include pentagon spending – not that it’s a different subject.)

I also admit that I don’t know how to play this little earmark game either. But when I read how our current administration signed an executive order in January that directed agencies to ignore all earmarks in committee reports, this reminds me of the coverups by the Catholic Church of the illicit activities between priests and alter boys.

What’s that called in the Catholic Church? “Assmarks?” Then there were executive orders to ignore all “assmarks?”

From what I gather, these Psalm 73 “lawmakers” deeply appreciate vague language. They also enjoy obfuscation to the point that Congress could get around the order by simply inserting them in the text of spending bills or including language in the bills that directed agencies to treat earmarks listed in committee reports as if they were written into the law…

Of course, that’s short cutting – a form of cheating. In Congress, it’s called “paper clipping.” This is akin to the “heel” in pro wrestling choking the life out of the “baby” for the five count. By the end of the five count, the damage has been done, but, at least in pro wrestling, we know that’s not real.

What kind of personality dimension is a Psalm 73 “lawmaker” according to Keys To Power Persuasion by Alan Tutt? Obviously, they’re “big picture” personalities; they don’t like details. What’s the last and most important thing said in this article? “With soft earmarks, everything is done in secret.” And that’s what these people love; they love to be clandestine about their intentions. (You’d think everything was run by the free masons or whatever skull and bones society.)

Your persuasion tactics around these types of people would be vague, big picture language. You should also include inferences to their pet projects as “good, wise, helpful” or whatever nonsense compliments they like to use. You see, although I don’t know how to play their little games, it’s just a matter of dealing with their personality dimensions because they’re still human – as far as I know.

All you have to do is speak their language to persuade them into something? Speaking their language builds rapport and gets you into their door; this applies to anyone. For a shortcut into their hearts, make them believe you think like them. Politicians are mostly hot air, so you would have to sacrifice your dignity by talking to these people in the same way and agreeing with them in ways you wouldn’t normally agree – if you want something from them.

Of course, it pays to have some reconnaisance about who’s doing what; this needs to be done going directly to the source. After googling “sweetheart pet projects earmark us pork barrel spending,” I’ve observed, Citizens Against Government Waste is a pet project of our current administration (they congratulated Bush on curbing Kyoto Protocol spending – who needs clean air anyway? Right?)

You can be sure that every politician has a pet project – just look on their website and whatever amendments they keep pushing – then follow the money trail. All you have to do is start with one politician, build rapport, then ask for names, who does what – and all that.

Political Reconnaisance can be fun (for political majors, anyway). All you have to do is master the art of the “earmark.” Here is what “earmarks” leading to pork barrel spending could have prevented:

The financial crisis in the US, along with rising food and energy prices, is increasing the already alarming rates of US hunger. Media coverage of this issue has not been significant. Nearly one in every five US children are in poverty, of which hunger in some degree is an accompanying symptom.

The relationship between US hunger organizations and public policy impact reached a plateau some time ago, with no significant new funding or programs. Indeed, the mantra, pushed from the White House to the Congress, and often adopted by hunger organizations themselves, has been that US hunger is best solved through private charity, individual, corporate and to some extent, government partnerships; which is in effect saying there is no commitment or money from the federal government to end hunger.

However, it appears clear that only a national government commitment can end hunger, and that the rest is a diversion from reality. Many corporate sponsors and food companies appear to use the issue to further their own public relations. Such contributions and those of individuals help, but they could only feed all hungry Americans for a few days. (This means that the system itself is faulty. Please have a look at the Economic Control site for an economic system that actually empowered all Americans until 1913.)

Further, a number of hunger groups have received huge donations from Big Tobacco and its subsidiaries over the years (Wow, you’d think the multi-national drug co’s would have chipped in too). Otis Brawley, chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society noted on tobacco money for health research, “If you’re using blood money, you need to tell people you’re using blood money.”

The World Health Organization recently noted unless drastic measures are taken, tobacco companies will kill a billon people this century, especially the poor, women and children, and are a major impediment to accomplishing the UN millennium goals of reducing hunger, poverty, infant mortality, improving maternal health, insuring environmental sustainability, combating disease and so on.

Planet Earth Foundation, which created World Campaign, attempted nearly two decades ago to convince hunger organizations that taking tobacco funds was morally indefensible and strategically suicidal.

For these and other reasons, US hunger has become one of many problems that people contribute to, but has lost all urgency as a major political issue. (No “earmarks” concerning poverty in America?) National programs to end U.S. hunger are widely understood in terms of what would be effective, requiring a relatively small amount of additional funds.

Lisa Blume, the co-founder of World Campaign, spearheaded public service media campaigns through Planet Earth Foundation’s Campaign To End Hunger on effective maternal, infant and childhood nutrition programs nationwide from the late 1980’s through the early 2000’s.

When interviewed in the news media, Blume noted that “the fact that people don’t see it (US hunger) negates the fact that it exists.”

There must have been an executive order to ignore all the economic victimarks as well. If you really think about it, there’s a lot that the American Republic doesn’t see – so how can they care about it?…

UnGodly Gauntlet on the Rio Grande

The United States Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday announced plans to waive federal and state environmental laws in order to finish 670 miles of barriers along the US-Mexico border by the end of the year.

Environmentalists and local officials have strenuously opposed some of the planned infrastructure projects, saying they will damage the land and disrupt wildlife. But Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said Tuesday that the department was committed to minimizing the impact on the environment. The draft environmental assessments, he said, show the projects will have only “insignificant impacts on the environment and cultural resources.”

Critics, however, said the waivers were intended to sidestep growing and unexpectedly fierce opposition — especially in Arizona and in Texas, where concerns have been raised about endangered species and fragile ecosystems along the Rio Grande. ”

The Bush administration’s latest waiver of environmental and other federal laws threatens the livelihoods and ecology of the entire US-Mexico border region,” said Sierra Club Executive Director Carl Pope. “Secretary Chertoff chose to bypass stakeholders and push through this unpopular project on April Fool’s Day. We don’t think the destruction of the borderlands region is a laughing matter.”

World War III plans for summer 2008

..Last December, when the National Intelligence Estimate downgraded the immediate nuclear threat from Iran, it seemed as if Fallon’s caution was justified. But still, well-placed observers now say that it will come as no surprise if Fallon is relieved of his command before his time is up next spring, maybe as early as this summer, in favor of a commander the White House considers to be more pliable. If that were to happen, it may well mean that the president and vice-president intend to take military action against Iran before the end of this year and don’t want a commander standing in their way.

And so Fallon, the good cop, may soon be unemployed because he’s doing what a generation of young officers in the U. S. military are now openly complaining that their leaders didn’t do on their behalf in the run-up to the war in Iraq: He’s standing up to the commander in chief, whom he thinks is contemplating a strategically unsound war…
