I recently came across an internet article on former Vice President Cheney supposedly lying to the FBI. During Cheney's interview with the FBI in 2004, he is believed to have said "I can't recall" seventy-two times! If you're interested then check out the article here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091102/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/us_cheney_cia_leak
I guess Cheney figured it worked for Ronald Regan during the Iran-Contra scandal. However, Regan may have had an excuse, his mind was deteriorating. But does it really surprise us that any politican lies. Heck the whole system is built upon lies, fraud and deceit.
My former job in Intelligence (if what I was told was correct) was the only job in the military where execution was allowed. I believe it was by firing squad--anyway I can't remember. Every five years I had to go thorough an extensive background check. Some people in my previous career field had to go through lie detectors. It's too bad our own leaders sometimes aren't held to the same standards. President Clinton was given a free pass because there's no way he would have pass the check with his past. I talked about his past in previous blogs.
Most of us can automatically (almost) assume when a politican is talking to us that he is telling a lie. Telling a lie for them is as natural as breathing to us. They've had many years of practice. Only a few weeks ago a guy lied to me. Usually, I admit I don't see it on the spot. What happens to me is something wakes me up in the middle on the night and I suppose my head is clearer at that time. Then I say to myself, "That guy lied to me. I got it all figured out now."
I consider myself a pretty honest person and defiintely not perfect by any means. Sometimes that gets me in trouble because I think everybody else is playing by the same "rules" as me. That kind of thinking is a receipe for disaster.
A few months ago I learned a nice handy tip from a Hypnotist on how to tell when a person is lying. He said, "Simply ask the person a few questions that they would have to say yes to and closely observe their reaction." Certain body language indicators should match up every time they say yes. For example, say, the sky is nice and blue isn't it? Or say, your coat is brown isn't it? They will also have different indicators of course when they are using deceit. I'll have to refresh myself on these techniques.
Believe me trust is important. It's so important to me that I'd rather not be in the room with someone who I cannot trust. Only a few weeks ago while at the chess club someone walked away with my small portable external hard drive. It probably happened as I walked across the street. Unfortunately, I forgot it was in my bag and someone seized the opportunity to take it. Now, I'm not even trying to guess who might have taken it. It's pointless to try and do so. Personally, I would have rather have given it away. It wasn't worth that much to me anyway. I feel bad for the person because they had to stoop to such a level. Personally, I couldn't live with myself for taking something that didn't belong to me. I was brought up with the attitude to work for what you have and don't take from someone else. But as you can see we don't all play by the same rules. That's why it's very important to protect yourself from becoming a victim to a person on a lower-vibrational spiritual level.
That's why I recommend the following book by Dr. David J. Lieberman. It is titled "Never Be Lied To Again." First, it's very affordable. Usually such valuable information will go for a much higher price. I can tell you that for sure. This book is worth more than it's weight in gold! It gives great, simple tips to tell when someone is lying to you and it's written in simple, layman words. A great book indeed! I know. I have it. After skimming through it, I had to buy it.
You might think I'm making this pitch to make a small profit. I couldn't blame you for thinking so. One, I don't recommend anything that I don't have and two, I'm doing fine with money. My main intent is to share what I've learned.
Cheers
Paul

That's a bummer about you stolen hard drive. I am surprised because I consider that club kind of like a family and didn't think that would happen THERE. Oh well, thanks for the heads up.
