A MarketPlace of Ideas

Summary: Hooey is Hooey no matter where it is used.  You better learn how it is perpetrated and how to spot it or you are going to be the victim.   For the sake of you and your country you better learn fast.   The quickening is upon us.

Books you need to read for your own good:

1) The 48 Laws of Power    48 Laws of Power   by Robert Greene     An amazingly well written book in 48 chapters (duh)  Its brutal at points but so is the history of our world.  You didn’t really think it was all hugs and kisses did you ? Sorry !  You will never look at politics the same way once you understand fully these principles.  Oh come on…get the book…..DO IT FOR THE CHILDREN ! 

Summary: Why some people see pathological lying as a useful strategy is a mystery to me.  If you were a careful watcher of Clinton you noticed it almost pained him to tell the truth even when it would have been the easier route.  In the middle east we see Arab leaders of countries and/or factions such as the Palestinian leadership spew forth a steady stream of crap.  For a personality type such as mine ( sensor ) this sets off the klaxons.  Your life is in danger when you deal with them.   Of course that squares evenly with the raw data on the ground.   Why anyone would think negotiating with this sort would lead to anything positive or productive is also suspect.  They state their case is lofty terms but isn’t it more realistic they have personal gain in mind ?    ( of course it is ).
