Serving the System: Disillusion, Deception and the Obama Campaign
2008-05-10 01:59:00 by Chris Floyd Arthur Silber has the second part of his powerful "Choosing Sides" series up now: Killing Truth and Hope — The Fatal Illusion of Opposition. There is little I can add to the insight and eloquence of the piece — just go read the whole thing, and follow up on the links provided there as well. But I would like to highlight two particular aspects of the post. First is Silber's succinct description of the "corporate-authoritarian political system" that confronts us at every turn with its soul-crushing, death-dealing power: This system encompasses every area of our national life....The military-industrial complex — or what is now often more accurately described as the military-industrial-congression-al complex — is the most significant component of these interrelationships, but there are many other parts. They encompass all major industries, and almost every minor one, as well as many of our educational and cultural institutions....
Movie Review - Deception - It?s Not Very Deceiving
2008-04-25 17:21:00 “Deception is not very deceiving.” One definition Webster?s gives to the word deception is, ?something that deceives?.

Tepid Con Job Spoils Sexual Intrigue in ?Deception? With Ewan McGregor
2008-04-25 05:48:00 CHICAGO ? Despite its timid title, ?Deception? has all the right ingredients for a decent tale of mystery: a strong premise, sound acting and the famous femme fatale. It even starts with a promising conviction: How does a background player in life deal with initiation into a secret society? The real mystery is why this strong beginning led to a such weak and conventional conclusion. Ewan McGregor portrays Jonathan McQuarry: a mousy accountant who specializes in corporate audit assignments. His life is long hours, ever-changing clients and little social reward. Read Patrick McDonald?s full review of ?Deception? in our reviews section.View our full ?Deception? image gallery. The List is a sex club that allows anonymous coupling with no strings attached. It?s used by power brokers who presumably have no time for relationship entanglements. McQuarry is let in on The List when he accidentally switches phones with Bose and the encounters start ringing him up. One such encounter ? the ...

The Prosperity Deception
2008-04-07 07:15:00 The era of so-called “mega-churches” has become increasingly associated with an emphasis on biblical teachings on the subject of prosperity. In many cases, it appears that the main proponents of these teachings seem quite adept in applying these principles on behalf of their own households, perhaps to a larger degree than on behalf of most needy segments of our society.Some ministries have targeted communities that historically have been characterized by financial struggle, attracting a representative following of persons who have experienced considerable monetary instability. Among these ministries are individuals who earnestly have sought out a God-made solution for entrenched societal traits that have kept entire communities locked into poverty.Nevertheless, many of these ministries have faced criticism from persons who consider an emphasis on financial wealth to be a perversion of the bible's principal teachings on the connection between wealth and unfaithfulness toward God...

Writing is nothing about self deception.
2008-04-05 01:06:00 Sitting and talking to your friends about your great book that you?ve not yet started is self deception; nothing but writing will produce that book you long for. Self deception is revealed by an absence of writing; this absence is not writing by any measure, good or bad. There are some who believe a big owl will swoop in during the night and leave an almighty deposit on their desk. They would call that deposit inspiration, and it will solve all their problems of narrative and character and story. They will not have to sit for hours writing. This owl will have done all the work. Inspiration is what we name our influences after we?ve written a book; Big owls will not replace writing in the production of a book. Practice writing, not self deception.

Amway Inside Story-Merchants of Deception by Eric Scheibeler
2008-03-28 15:55:00 This post offers a detailed review of Merchants of Deception, a book by Eric Scheibeler, former Amway Emerald Distributor, who once believed strongly that Amway will fetch him a financial freedom and success, reached near top of the chain, only to discover that how fraudulent the system is and how everyone involved are guaranteed to lose money. His book exposes some key inside info regarding the operation of Amway (and such MLM companies) and is a must read to everyone involved in this business or considering to enter into it.Most of you have heard of Amway and other network marketing/MLM companies. Chances are, some of you might be a part of it or faced pressure to join it. These “Business Opportunities” are projected as wealth creation tools or vehicles to achieve financial freedom. But the truth often is otherwise. Those who join these kind of business almost always suffer a loss- financial or otherwise. It may be difficult to blindly agree that these NM/MLM companies do more...
PerryScope by Perry Diaz: The Grand Deception
2008-03-23 06:57:00 In my article, "Economic Boom or Boo-boo Economics" (Nov. 30, 2007), I wrote: "With 50% of Filipinos poor -- 40% of whom have experienced hunger -- and with unemployment rate at 7.8%, what we will soon hear is the 'astronomic boom' of discontent and the cry of the helpless poor. Indeed, Arroyo's boo-boo economics has created a short span of high -- albeit false -- expectations. She promised jobs for the people, yet more than one million Filipinos are leaving each year for jobs overseas." That was four months ago when the OFWs were praising Gloria for calling them the "bagong bayani" (new heroes). Indeed, the OFWs' remittances in 2007 set a record high of more than $14 billion. But little did the OFWs realize that their remittances would make the peso stronger; thus, decreasing the value of their dollar earnings. But in spite of the strengthening of the peso, prices of commodities have mysteriously been skyrocketing. The decrease in OFWs' earnings has a direct effect on the Gros...

A victory with a taste of deception.
2008-02-27 06:39:00 The Montreal Canadiens were hosting the Atlanta Trashers tonight at the Bell centre. The Trashers have sent Marian Hossa to Pittsburgh before the trade deadline today. The Trashers have received Colby Armstrong, Erik Christensen, Angelo Esposito and a 2009 first round draft pick. A big trade for the Penguins.The star player was interesting for Montreal but General Manager Bob Gainey wasn't able to convince Atlanta's GM, Don Waddell. The only move made by Gainey today was to send goaltender Christobal Huet to the Washington Capitals for a 2009 2nd round draft pick.The fans' wish to improove the team thru a trade before the deadline today was never granted. Many fans believes that the Canadiens did not get enough in return for Huet and should've kept the goaltender for the remaining portion of the season.The Canadiens played a good game versus the Trashers, winning by the score of 5-1. The winning surge for Montreal came during the third period. Montreal scored a total of four goa...

“Bernanke Rides to the Rescue”— More Cowboy Deception
2008-01-25 02:44:00 by Shepherd Bliss “Bernanke Rides to the Rescue” assures an heroic headline in the Jan. 23 Wild West’s “San Francisco Chronicle.” Yet all the king’s men on all the king’s horses with all their band-aids and sugar pills will not be able to prop up the rapidly crashing US economy. “Fed Gallops to the Rescue,” the corporate newspaper’s sub-headline continues its cowboy deception. The Federal Reserve cut its short-term interest rate by an unprecedented .75% on Jan. 22. This is its largest single day slash since the central bank started disclosing its policy moves over two decades ago. Ben Bernanke’s cut and the Bush-Democrats alliance to give taxpayers a $800 gift so consumers can spend the economy back to growth will fail. Our leaders are driving the Republic to ruin—by their over-extended war-making and by depleting our natural and human resources. Other empires, including the Roman Empire, have gone this route.

It found that in speeches, briefings, interviews and other venues, Bush and administration officials stated unequivocally on at least 532 occasions that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction or was trying to produce or obtain them or had links to al-Qaida or both. "It is now beyond dispute that Iraq did not possess any weapons of mass destruction or have meaningful ties to al-Qaida," according to Charles Lewis and Mark Reading-Smith of the Fund for Independence in Journalism staff members, writing an overview of the study. "In short, the Bush administration led the nation to war on the basis of erroneous information that it methodically propagated and that culminated in military action against Iraq on March 19, 2003..." ...Bush led with 259 false statements, 231 about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and 28 about Iraq's links to al-Qaida, the study found.

No Peace, No Justice: Just Deception
2007-12-10 00:50:00 William A. Cook The Annapolis Conference spawned a series of responses on both the Israeli and Palestinian sides, almost all negative about any resolution to the conflict. Perhaps one of the most predictable reviews took place this past week when Rep. Tom Lantos chaired a hearing on the conference for the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. Despite attempts by the Council for the National Interest and other like groups to bring in non-Israeli supporters as witnesses, Lantos limited the witnesses to Dennis Ross and David Wurmser, two predictable advocates for the Israeli state based on “reality on the ground,” a euphemism for justifying the theft of Palestinian land. “The opening statements by Chairman Lantos and ranking minority member Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R. FL) were even more biased than the testimony of two well-known pro-Israeli supporters Dennis Ross and David Wurmser.” (CNI news statement, 12/6/07).

ESL Website Deception?
2007-11-30 06:25:00 I referred to an ESL site yesterday that has games. After trying to figure out the Magic Gopher game, I explored the site a little more. On the front page of www.learnenglish.org.uk, there's a "Test Your Level" section. It tests ESL speakers on grammar and vocabulary, etc.I took a couple of the tests and I know I got everything right (they were simple tests for native English speakers). Interestingly, for every test I took, my result showed that I'm at an "upper intermediate" level. Well, I know that everything was right. They don't let you go back and check your answers; you just have to keep taking more tests to see how you do.I thought it's a bit unfair to test ESL speakers and then give them results that show that they are at a lower level than they truly are. The results page tells you to practice your grammar by looking at the materials on the website. I just think it's not very honest to give you inaccurate results just to get you to look further into their site. Aside f... |
