POPSNeurolinguistic Sorcery in the Media
Some responses: NLP is not occult paranoia Submitted by Bubblefish on Thu, 09/11/2008 - 11:47. I have some very serious reservations about some, but not all, of these accusations. One, I absolutely agree with the over arching theme, which is the bullying and manipulative linguistic tactics used by many in the media, and Sean Hannity most definitely. He's probably the worst in the mainstream and personally, I really detest the guy for that. We can agree there is extreme manipulation here and these manipulations can be modeled by lingistics, NLP or otherwise. However, the interpretation of the 666 as sorcery and the insertion of a 'magical war' I don't think is warranted by the evidence given, nor is the ok symbol argument convincing to imply such a reality. Sure, we can find dual meaning in communication, but's it more than just 'dual'. It's multilayered and potentially there are numerous interpretations of reality, all of which can used mutually shared language. The ok

POPSPowerful:Democracy Now Interview of McClellan--podcast Must-hear interview. The Bush administration cannot deny the claims from this insider. It is also interesting to hear the questions put to him by some good reporters in the run up to Iraq that the MSM decided not to let us hear! Hard evidence for wrong doing in the administration and he is about to testify before the Judiciary committee on the CIA leak of Plame, by Rove, Libby, and likely orchestrated by Cheney. Also how the White House Iraq Group used the NY Times as their primary propaganda conduit, including Judith Miller. Great podcast (have to listen to other news first before interview).

POPSChemical Dumbing Down of America More on the flouride debate here: http://www.fluoridedebate.com/ "Even though the ADA is an association, not a governmental agency, it has a great deal of influence on dental matters through its lobbyists in Washington, DC and the almost universal and dominant presence of its members on State Dental Boards. These Boards have the power to remove a license from a practicing dentist in the state, and thus can keep dentists in line on controversial issues like fluoridation." It also states that " Fluoride is more toxic than lead and like lead in minute doses, accumulates in and can be damaging to brain/mind development of children, producing abnormal behavior in animals and reducing IQ in humans." another video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_P0golJFac

POPSShock Doctrine Explained--How We're Manipulated Howard Zinn says the following in his advance review: "Naomi Klein is an investigative reporter like no other. She roams the continents with eyes wide open and her brain operating at full speed, finding connections we never thought of, and patterns which eluded us. This is a brilliant book, one of the most important I have read in a long time."

POPSFOX NEWS: IRAN! deja vu all over again FOX NEWS (or as Keith Olbermann calls it...FOX NOISE) brings to mind, some of the great quotes from Yogi Berra: "It's like deja vu all over again." OR "I never said most of the things I said." OR "It gets late early out there." OR "Ninety percent of this game is half mental." WITH ONE BIG DIFFERENCE ... YOGI'S malapropism was cute, FOX'S malapropism IS NOT! In fact, Fox's ludicrous misuse of words, is LETHAL! Now, we experience the same vulgar manipulation of facts to help the warmongers get us into a war with Iran... Really, they should make it easy on themselves... just take their clips from the past and dub the word Iran in where Iraq was.

POPSMichael Behe and Data Manipulation Another example of misusing data to fit a theist view of the world. By rejecting scientific evidence and more, Michael Behe is able to convince only the uninitiated, the believer. He is not able to make inroads on well trained biologists or other scientists. The lesson is, it seems to me, is that before one accepts anything at face value one has the obligation to address the appropriate available evidence and then asks the skeptical questions that make that evidence stand up to those questions. It is not good enough to believe in something because you believe in something. That tautology will only run you around in circles causing only severe dizziness.

POPSTactic live VJ instrument This thing from Livid (makers of Union VJ software) looks like ET's eye profile — belongs on the front of a starship's bridge! Demo video is lengthy but pretty kewl too. Looks so spontaneous and fun. I wonder if that's really a wood surface.
