That is pretty much exactly what I was trying to say above.

Watch commercials. We all know they're BS, but they don't strike one as inherantly "wrong" either. Try this: Every absolute statement a commercial makes, try framing the opposite of that statement in your head. (I.E. "This summer, cash will be king." You: "This summer, cash won't be king." <-- Is that plausible to you?)
I have found that the exact opposite of everything they say is often quite palable to me, even when the original content didn't seem that objectionable.
I do the same thing. I've found this works particularly well concerning individuals and public perception. If they have a positive public perception, I've found that it's best to assume the worst about them. Conversely, if they a negative public perception, it's often wise to assume the best about them, as these types tend to be threats towards the system.

The lie has a certain illusion of credibility to it, as it's really a mirror image of, say the "good vs evil" realities which are truly in play; it just happens to fraudulently flip the roles around, in a deception so audacious, the gullible mind dismisses the possibility that another would lie so shamelessly.
Good post PatColo thanks!
To describe another side of that reality, internet sites like these we have the segment of the population with the knowledge and desire to see the United States (and other Western agents) that actually operates by the honour code and members spend hours a day and passionately share ideas about how to keep our governments honest and how they now too often act dishonestly.
So what to the criminals current occupying these regimes and their corporate propaganda partners do?
They flip the truth 180 degrees and the segment of the population that has a honour code and wants our government to operate honourable within the law is portrayed as dishonorable and a danger by the dishonorable in power.
I wonder how strong the correlation between Dishonourable or Honourable and Sociopath or Empath is?
Quote:
so·ci·o·path
a person, as a psychopathic personality, whose behavior is antisocial and who lacks a sense of moral responsibility or social conscience.
However the problem is even worse since more than ever before the structure of our economies is corporate and thus sociopathic. Thus the honourable are forced to dishonour by the inherent structure of corporate society.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honour
Quote:
Accordingly, individuals are assigned worth and stature based on the harmony of their actions, code of honour, and that of the society at large.
So Honour brings me to harmony which brings me to wave resonances and reduced entropy (disorder)!
Thus now not only can I claim that excess entropy is evil, but I can claim its dishonourable! 8)

Yup, the old 180-degree opposite rule, anti-war folks "unpatriotic", 911 Truthers as disseminaters of "outrageous conspiracy theories concerning the attacks of September the 11th; malicious lies that attempt to shift the blame away from the terrorists, themselves, away from the guilty. To inflame ethnic hatred is to advance the cause of terror." (...boldly insisted the front-puppet of the terrorist political entity who orchestrated 911, and who seek to encourage anti-Arab/Muslim/Semitic ethnic hatred...)
And don't forget who the world's victim/scapegoats always are...

Re: The gullible mind explained [False projection of honor code?]
This can be more easily explained as a "conclusive" mind. Our minds are geared to come to conclusions so that the next time the empirical data shows up, we know what to do. Over time, the communication/reaction to the data boxes one into a corner of "non-thinking" As the conclusions have already been decided.
This is why people believe what they are told without questioning. Conclusions are excuses for not thinking. Some like to cling to their conclusions as it makes them feel safe. But the truth is that everything is constantly changing. What is true one minute, is false another minute. This behooves each of us to think on our feet at all times. Questioning everything. Be open to new answers.
As we all know, inflexibility leads to rigidity, which leads to cracks in the structure. If we were more flexible like water, our minds would penetrate the deepest recesses of any subject matter.
Re: The gullible mind explained [False projection of honor code?]
One major factor is brain processing power, and that is why we have such a plethora of drugs, that lowers brain processing, from the psych drugs, to anti-hypertensives, they bring those that have the ability to think for themselves, despite schooling, to the level where they are gullible, and just accept the conclusions provided for them, without supporting evidence, from the talking heads of MSM...

The members of the American economics profession, as [Thurman] Arnold contended, performed a vital practical role in maintaining this unique system of corporate socialism American style. It was their role to prevent the American public from achieving a correct understanding of the actual workings of the American economic system. Economists instead were assigned the task to dispense priestly blessings that would allow business to operate independent of damaging political manipulation. They accomplished this task by means of their message of “laissez faire religion, based on a conception of a society composed of competing individuals.” However false as a description of the actual U.S. economy, this vision in the mind of the American public was in practice “transferred automatically to industrial organizations with nation-wide power and dictatorial forms of government.” Even though the arguments of economists were misleading and largely fictional, the practical — and beneficial — result of their deception was to throw a “mantle of protection … over corporate government” from various forms of outside interference. Admittedly, as the economic “symbolism got farther and farther from reality, it required more and more ceremony to keep it up.” But as long as this arrangement worked and there could be maintained “the little pictures in the back of the head of the ordinary man,” the effect was salutary — “the great [corporate] organization was secure in its freedom and independence.” It was this very freedom and independence of business professionals to pursue the correct scientific answer — the efficient answer — on which the economic progress of the United States depended.

Robert Nelson tells us that the goal of the economics profession is to prevent the American public from achieving a correct understanding the American economic system, thereby throwing a “mantel of protection over corporate government!”
