The psychological reasons why some people can’t stop lying

Lindsay Dodgson There are several theories for why some people can't stop lying.Narcissists are often pathological liars, because they simply don't care about the truth.They prefer to tell lies and gain control over people than be honest.Sometimes, compulsive liars are highly impulsive people who struggle to take the time to think things through and tell the truth.Lying doesn't necessarily make you a bad person, but it could be a sign of something more sinister. Chapter 2 - The Psychology of Lying Abstract Lying is a form of communication that involves two parties: the deceiver and the deceived. The deceiver intends to communicate false impressions or information. The deceived, however, must participate in the lie—at least on some level. This is either by virtue of learne...

What does Bill Gates mean by “population control”?

Fernando Guevara writes: A Corbett Report from 2020, titled The Real Bill Gates wants Population Culling, is a disturbing exposé that includes extensive coverage with Bill Gates as the speaker. It is about population control. The broadcast includes an excerpt of a 60 Minutes show covering a presentation where Bill Gates is heard to express concern about the increasing world population and whether providing new medicines and keeping children alive would “create more of a population problem”. Footage is shown of two white (or pink, rather) persons walking, talking, in front of a group of dark-skinned people (who are not heard talking): Pink person 1: – And what the developing world does not need is more children. Pink person 2 (looks like Melinda):&...

Elites buy us off with trivial protections – while they raid the common wealth

Jonathan Cook writes: In these posts I try to highlight how our social, cultural and political structures are rigged to reflect the interests of an economic elite and maintain their power. Because the forces that shape those structures are largely invisible – we mainly notice the people and buildings inside these structures – the way power operates can be difficult to describe and to understand. To use a familiar analogy, we are like a fish that cannot see the water in which it is submerged. Water completely orders its life: how it swims, that it swims, the limits of where it can swim, and so on. Power orders our lives similarly. The difference is that the way power is organised in our societies is not natural – “the normal order of things” – in the w...

A Member of the Illuminati Tells All?

We will work together always and will remain bound by blood and secrecy. Death will come to he who speaks." By Jonas E. Alexis JEA: In 2004 G. Edward Griffin, the author of the bestselling book The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal Reserve, received an email copy of a document which was purported to be written by a member of the Illuminati. I really respect and appreciate Griffin’s response to the document, and his analysis lines up with what I have been saying over the past eight years or so. We do not need to rely on anonymous documents to flesh out a serious investigation about world events. Nor do we need these anonymous documents to scare the heck out of decent people who may not have the time and the tools to examine these documents the...

The Corruption of the Political Class

BY PATRICK COCKBURN Photograph Source: Daniel Lobo – CC BY 2.0 “We could slip into being a corrupt country,” said Jonathan Evans, the former head of MI5 and the crossbench peer who chairs the Committee on Standards in Public Life, as he denounced the government’s bid to save Owen Paterson’s political career and neuter parliamentary regulation of paid lobbyists. On the same day Chris Bryant, chairman of the Commons’ standards committee, said that what the Boris Johnson government was trying to do in overturning Paterson’s suspension was “a perversion of justice” and is “not what we do in this country – it’s what they do in Russia when a friend or a foe is suddenly under the cosh in the courts”. But perhaps the government’s botched attempt to save Paterson’s skin –...

On Mass Political Inattention

BY PAUL STREET Mojave TV. Photo: Jeffrey St. Clair. “Most People Don’t Pay Attention to What’s Going On” Speaking to Salon’s Chauncy de Vega about how the United States is mired in a crisis of democracy that shows parallels with Germany’s descent into Nazism during the 1930s, Norman Ornstein recently noted that “Most people don’t pay close attention, day to day, to what’s going on” in the political sphere. Speaking just anecdotally, my guess is that Ornstein is correct. In my experience, most people I talk to outside of my pre-existing left circles have only the foggiest notion about the specifics and meaning of current events. “The news” holds little real interest and significance for everyday Americans. And the notion of doing the work to “pay c...

Jon Britton: A life spent in the struggle

Liberation Staff Download PDF flyer Photo: Jon Britton in 2006. Credit — Bill Hackwell The Party for Socialism and Liberation is deeply saddened by the death of our long-time comrade and founding member Jon Britton. We express our sincere condolences to his family, friends and his partner of 40 years, founding PSL member Susan Muysenberg. Jon devoted his entire adult life to the movement, becoming an active communist in the early 1960s at the age of 22. Through all the ups and downs that followed, he was guided by his unshakable faith in the working class to carry out the transformation of society through socialist revolution. Jon was a longtime leader of the PSL in San Jose, California. A stalwart member of the city’s progressive movement, he built close relationships with ot...

Political Islam and Democracy Crisis in North Africa

BY RAMZY BAROUD When the news circulated that Morocco’s leading political group, the Development and Justice Party (PJD), has been trounced in the latest elections, held in September, official media mouthpieces in Egypt celebrated the news as if the PJD’s defeat was, in itself, a blow to the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood movement. Regionally, political commentators who dedicated much of their time to discredit various Islamic political parties – often on behalf of one Arab government or another – found in the news another supposed proof that political Islam is a failure in both theory and practice. “Regionally, the news of the (PJD) failure was greeted with jubilation,” Magdi Abdelhadi wrote on the BBC English website. “Commentators regarded the fall of PJD as ...

In making the declaration, Gantz gave the Israeli military the authority to close the human rights groups’ offices, arrest their employees, and block their funding flows.The organizations in question are some of the leading Palestinian civil society groups, including the human rights investigators Al-Haq; the prisoner rights group Addameer; the Union of Agricult...

Palestine: Nazi regime label six Palestinian human rights groups ‘terrorist organisations’

Press Release By Action Aid: On October 19, 2021, the Israeli Defence Ministry issued a military order declaring six Palestinian civil society organisations in the Nazi Occupied Palestinian Territory(NoPt) to be labelled as “terrorist organisations”. The organisations are Addameer, Al-Haq, Defense for Children Palestine, the Union of Agricultural Work Committees, Bisan Center for Research and Development, and the Union of Palestinian Women Committees. This labeling authorises Nazi regime to close their offices, seize their assets and arrest and jail their staff members, and it prohibits funding or even publicly expressing support for their activities. These are organisations that actively document human rights violations committed by Nazi occupation in NoPt and advocate f...
