The Big Lie
B.S.: -THE BIG LIE! There are many techniques to deceive in our 'expert' and professional ‘spin doctors' medicine bags. Stonewalling was the word for Nixon in Watergate. Plausible deniability is often used. The presentation of statistics that befuddle the befuddled who generate the Bell Curves can amaze even the best of us. Speaking with certainty about something uncertain is the stock and trade of most experts. After all who would tell such barefaced lies? They do have the sheepskin to prove they know what they talk about. The rationalizing process is common to all humanity and there need be nothing wrong with admitting error and mistake. However, it is a rare time when you'll find a doctor or other expert admit they didn't know what they were talking about, or simply followed 'convention' rather than involve themself in the kind of process they'd use to verify their diagnosis if it was their 'loved one' on the cutting table, or in jail, or about to face some other social disaster.
It would be hard to say what is the biggest lie ever told, and we will explore many of them, the one bullet theory and 'The Flat Earth' fiction that includes man didn't travel in ancient times is just about the crème de la crème. It seems if you call something the exact opposite of what it is; then people can be sold the story just as much as if you tell the little white lie. Remember to keep a straight face and stick to your guns. The concept of 'caveat emptor' or 'buyer beware' is the rule that follows from the Golden Rule (He who has the gold rules.). Political platforms and journalistic history seem quite adept at this art which was perfected when power became more important than truth and 'brotherhood'. Language and semantical hair-splitting can
obfuscate any issue to the point that good people with righteous intent give up trying to figure out what is going on - and 'go with the flow' or take the 'path of least resistance'. Laws are meant to be used judiciously rather than applied to manage in some selective manner the targets like the poor or people from other countries and circumstances; we need just and ethical future behavior starting at the top. Revenge and 'getting yours' is the God of violence and greed.
There are no 'black and white answers' yet we are taught to think there is a 'correct answer' as we take the spiral staircase of education founded upon an industry of professional testing gurus. Emotional Intelligence is regarded with less than proper respect while soft spoken common sense waxes and wanes with the passage of childhood into middle aged crazy behavior driven by mantras like 'He who dies with the most toys - WINS!' To be in control of establishing the questions makes one able to eliminate all aspects of thinking about alternatives and allows the status quo to maintain the course. No doubt I could continue for a long time engaging myself in dumping clichés and hackneyed phrases or jargon. The courts of this world are studies in obtuse and evil outcomes. Herewith or in the last part, (chuckling as I think of legal briefs) I offer my opinion as the only 'expert' on double-talk and salesmanship, with ethics. To know that you can get what you want and choose to give all you can, is what Jesus would want and I have enjoyed getting to know what is RIGHT!
