Obama and Bill Gates Created Hurricane Sandy

Sepacore says...

Q: Why do governments continue with experiments if there's not much truth to them?
A: Men who stare at goats (a few ppl fooled by ideas and passion can easily consume some government resources)
A: Magicians (show the audience one thing while you do another)
A: Bias perception (Misinterpretation of the results)
A: Progression (Legitimate achievements in technological advancements)

Either pick what makes you comfortable (mentally lazy), or utilize your critical thinking (worth breeding)

A rational mind staring into darkness will begin to see shapes and movements that aren't really there. It's due to mental cheat sheets, where the mind attempts to understand that which it doesn't by using current knowledge, assumptions, imagination and internal values/preferences/emotions (gross simplification).

An irrational mind more easily sees whatever is familiar/preferred to be seen. Those who stare long enough can become very difficult to persuade with an alternative view or bring back to a more rational position. (it's why teaching young humans 'what' to think is so much more defining than 'how' to think, re stubborn beliefs)

Yes humans are capable of some seriously great feats, but if you genuinely think that weather can be "controlled" to the extent he's referring to (while disregarding the far greater impacts that would occur globally for every smaller influence) then you're not likely to listen to reason, rather then continue to perceive that which you're predetermined to think.

Also it might help to listen to how he's making his points. It's psychological warfare, he's seeding you and getting you to defeat your own rational thought, poorly i might add, but still the attempt is there.
Why? By only making statements, your 100,000's year old critical thinking system will instinctively aim to challenge every point that isn't previously accepted (like how a cat instinctively chases a running non-threat target), so he mixes in the questions, the same questions, as repetition is the best form of learning (mind-raping)

And just to fuck with yas: if you 'knew' something crazy to be true, and as you spoke about it you could hear the crazy.. how would you convince a friend, a parent and a stranger?

"Bully" Documentary Trailer Might Break Your Heart

renatojj says...

Being bullied a lot as a kid led me to develop severe social phobia starting at 17, ruining whatever was left of my social life during my twenties and also helped me drop out of college, twice. After two years of therapy as an adult, I can deal with social anxiety a lot better, but I probably won't be able to function socially 100%.

I was also bullied at home by one of my older brothers who, only later in life as a father of three, found out he's bipolar and now takes medication. I love him, he never physically bullied me, it was mostly psychological warfare with that guy, picking apart any shred of self esteem I had as a kid and meticulously crushing it every chance he got. He sometimes humilliates his own kids, my nephews, I'm going to have to explain that he can't just think, "I did that all the time with my kid brother and he turned out OK".

Uh, no he didn't.

Obama Signs NDAA, but with Signing Statement -- TYT

marbles says...

Be careful, if there's too much outrage we're going to have to legitimize the law by using it against a universally loathed figure.
I guess all we need now is a civil emergency. Framework for martial law, check. Domestic "surveillance" drones, check. FEMA Camps, check. Looks like those damn conspiracy kooks were right after all. (again)

@NetRunner
You're living proof that psychological warfare is a more powerful weapon than any gun or bomb. So vetoing the bill would've been political theater, but the hollow signing statement is "good"? LOL What about Obama spending months pledging to veto the bill, was that political theater? I guess we don't actually expect the President to keep his word, do we?

Main point that Cenk omits:
Specifically, it was the White House, not lawmakers, that demanded Section 1031 be expanded to empower the government to detain U.S. citizens without trial.

Also, Obama has been claiming for over a year and a half that he could target American citizens for assassination without any trial or due process. (http://www.salon.com/2010/06/25/assassinations_3/)

Cop chokes and arrests man witnessing arrest of another man

curiousity says...

I completely agree that we don't know the full situation. All we see is a cop give a lawful order to someone pulling some serious guerilla psychological warfare by following that order and gets taking down for it.

Completely justified since the kid knew it was opposite day.

Republicans attack Kay Hagan for talking with nonbelievers

rougy says...

I had a realization recently that religion is a sort of psychological warfare.

When you teach children at a very young age that there is this all-powerful, all-seeing being who controls your destiny, and that you have to love and obey this being if you are to get what you want out of life, you are instilling them with an imperialist viewpoint.

Western religions are essentially examples of spiritual imperialism.

Because the Gods of Western religions are essentially treated as Kings.

Interventionism and Democracy (Blog Entry by Farhad2000)

Doc_M says...

Though I'll disagree that the reasons for the Iraq war were intentionally dubious, I'll agree with just about everything else you said. This is a very nice essay, Farhad. Though the retaliation against Al Qaeda was unarguably unavoidable, I've said that the Iraq war was the "right war in the right place at the wrong time" and I still think it was. The intel community failed in ... intel ... and Bush and congress and the CIA and generals and the whole F-ing Government failed in judgment. And now, politicians are failing in comparing Russia's incursion into Georgia with the US incursion into Iraq so they can, as you said, avoid the comparison in general. It IS comparable in a number of ways, though I'm seeing the Russian move as one to actually CLAIM new territory... territory it BITTERLY lost, while America would love to get the F out of Iraq and let them rule themselves. Of course we want them to remain friends... a democratic foothold in the middle east... a chance to somewhat westernize a part of the middle east that is not Israel, Qatar, or UAE. I also think Russia and hard-line Putin in particular wants to send a message to the Ukraine (especially) and other nearby ex-USSR nations, that Russia is MOTHER Russia and they are just ex-Russian provinces allowed to exist by the Mother. A bit of psychological warfare in action.

You are damn right that interventionism has been on the hot seat lately and no one wants to touch it with a ten-foot pole and especially when it comes to messing with a superpower like Russia... a country with more thousand nukes than I have fingers.

(sidenote)
I AM in fact a nationalist, not because I was born here and think it is innately superior for that reason... that's just ridiculous, but because I LIKE it here and I respect it most of the time above what I see elsewhere. I don't have a problem with that attitude. If you like your country, its [at least foundational] ethics, and its freedoms, don't be afraid to cheer for it... say at the Olympics for example. ahem.

I do think you're right about China and the Chinese in general as well Farhad. China is oppressive, but increasing economic prosperity and popular control should blunt the blade of their government. Still, at the moment, their treatment of the "usual folks" and their treatment of those who believe in a particular faith other than is approved by the government is detestable. I have a very close friend who worries sickly for his missionary friends who risked going there to offer Christianity to those who wanted desperately to find out more about it.

The world government idea is problematic mostly due to issues like African warlords and Islamic theocracies... as well as Catholic theocracies for that matter. I don't see Vatican City teaming up with Iran in other words any time soon, but specialization sounds like a reasonable idea. The US specializes in technological development, science, and innovation. China specializes in production. Korea is in tech as well. The UK is in... jeez I don't know, surveillance camera tech? Canada could be in oil shale and land. Most of the desert countries in sun power? Problems arise with destitute countries, but those regions could be supported by us (correction, you) rich folk. There is hope yet, just distant. First we gotta stop killing each other.

What if the US donated its missile defense rockets and its laser-equipped missile-defeating jumbo jet tech to the UN to universalize it so-to-speak to keep the thought of at least nuclear war impossible? That might ease tension... a sort of universal deterrent to ANY ICBM launch. That or all these countries could just trade more and whine less. Team up against obvious terrorists (or if you want, mass murderers in general) maybe, but otherwise communicate FAR more. Get to know each other. Learn to speak a common language on common terms.

In my opinion, the LARGEST barrier to peace is that people simply have different RULES to live by in this world. Some are faith-based. Some are science-based. Some are philosophy-based. They are not often compatible and no one has the authority but a real GOD to say what rule systems are acceptable and what are not. And don't blame just religion for it. If you do, you need to study philosophy for a bit and you'll find that religion is by far not the only obstacle to agreement on "rules of life." That my friends is the problem on this planet.

Best thing that could happen is a freaking alien attack at this point lol. Team our shit up.

That or simply let economic development go as it is going... Have you seen the talks on the increasing GLOBAL prosperity?!! They are VERY hopeful! At the rate we are going, things may get better before they get worse. Charity is often a good way to have an effect btw.

16 year old Canadian Terror Suspect Interrogated at Gitmo

Farhad2000 says...

Pprt and that's why the terrorists win. When fighting evil one must be careful not to become evil as well. The morale high ground is a large component of successful psychological warfare and the war on terror is based more on psychology then on combined arms.

Kindergarten Girl Handcuffed & Arrested At School

jwray says...

From personal experience, when a kid gets that angry it's usually because they really have been wronged and can't articulate any other form of resistance than violence. I know what it feels like to be treated with utter contempt by some kids and apathy by the rest, for no good reason, to feel like the world has turned its back on you. A lot of children are capriciously malevolent to each other, and teachers often see only the explosion, not the subtle psychological warfare that precedes it. If a kid is well-behaved at home but acts out at school, the influences in the school environment should be closely scrutinized. A 6 year old is not a fully rational agent and is very much shaped by his or her environment. An attempt should be made to find the root causes and reason with the child, not just to further abuse the child with operant conditioning. Those who really understand ethics are at an advantage to those who simply act for fear of punishment and hope of reward.

Being sent to the principal's office to discuss things is far more rehabilitative than being sent to an empty concrete cell.

When a little kid believes in "eye for an eye" because he read it in the bible (once upon a time I did), the situation is even worse.

What happened to respecting your school teacher?

Farhad2000 says...

The real problem is that teachers are not allowed to carry out strict disciplinary actions. Especially with kids that are brought up in the new age belief of not doing any harm to a child because it may somehow hold him back. Am sorry but when kids are small you need to teach them boundaries, sometimes but obviously not always that will have to extend into a tight firm smack or as my parents did it; psychological warfare. If you have a teacher smack someone in the US, most of the time its possible they could get fired or worse sued.

With regards to the video, I can't fathom why the teacher is so nonchalant about it or why she is using a mobile phone in a classroom.

Robert Oppenheimer's thoughts after first atomic explosion

coupland says...

slint, I think that's a gross oversimplification and perpetuating a pretty silly stereotype. A lot of very brilliant people helped develop the atomic bomb, all from different backgrounds and probably all with different reasons. I suspect they devoted a great deal of time thinking about what they were doing and wrestling with tough ethical problems. No doubt many of them thought it would be used as a deterrent, others thought it would save lives that would otherwise be lost in a long drawn-out war, and likely none of them could have predicted that even while toasting their own victory they'd be marching down the road towards 40+ years of political and psychological warfare with the very nations who stood with them as allies. The whole Pandora stereotype makes for great movie fodder but I don't think reality is quite so simple.

Bus Driver vs. Kid

Farhad2000 says...

I'd like to chide in and say the following, I did a child sociology course and they said that it wasn't really the beatings or not that creates discipline but rather direct imposition of limits of the childs behaviour. The terrible twos are there because the child has learned to communicate and will now try to see the barriers of his behaviour. Not allowing the kid to feel like he got away with it is important. Because he would only realize he could do far worse and still get away with it.

My parents personally used a form of psychological warfare that is far more effective and damaging then any side ways swipe I could have got.
