When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic. – Dresden James<br />

I get a lot of accusations of how it is I at fault because I make no sense…<br />
a standard method of attack by those lacking cognition is the assigning of blame.<br />

We serve no one by withholding information. We do not serve ourselves by refusing to investigate.<br />
Lack of information never assisted anyone. Accurate information allows us options; we can choose to take<br />
action based upon it or choose to ignore it, but not knowing does not assist us. So put aside your<br />
preconceived notions, your psychological defence mechanisms, and your prejudices. Take a chance on<br />
remembering what could well grant you complete economic, emotional, and spiritual freedom.<br />
Any “Logics” course will teach that we can have a completely logical system which reaches a logical<br />
conclusion yet it is not true because it is based upon a false premise. The mind seems not to care if it<br />
reacts from something that is untrue as long as it feels certainty. So, the best position from which to learn<br />
is from ‘uncertainty’ – ‘being in the question’.<br />
Can we afford to be so arrogant as to pretend we know something we don’t know the knowing of which<br />
could transform our lives – Werner Erhard<br />

and BTW, Cut & paste serves me that I would be denied my self claimed right to do so has no standing with me.<br />

Dear M.P. _______________________ <br />
CC: TWIMC <br />
<br />
Hi! I am _______________________ and I recently wrote to you, asking twenty simple questions. I informed you that if you failed to respond and answer those questions, I would answer them for you, and you would be bound by those answers as if they had been your own. As you have had time to respond, and have not, and as I am sure you have seen these questions before, your reluctance to answer is strongly indicative of fraudulent activity. Here are the answers to the questions. Now, if you are ever asked them again, you can refer to this correspondence and your other constituents wou’t have to wait or otherwise feel they are being defrauded. <br />
<br />
What exactly is the number on the back (front) of my Birth Certificate? <br />
Answer: Bond Tracking Number <br />
Why is it not identified as to its function? <br />
Answer: Government does not want us to realize the Bonds’ existence. <br />
Is it a 'bond tracking' number? <br />
Answer: YES! <br />
If so, when was a bond generated <br />
Answer: When our parents registered our birth. <br />
Who generated it? <br />
Answer: The government did, with the apparent consent of our parents. <br />
Did they enjoy informed consent? <br />
Answer: NO, they did not! <br />
What is the value of the bond, assuming there is one? <br />
Answer: At least One Million Dollars <br />
Who owns title to that bond? <br />
Answer: Whoever holds The Record of Live Birth (Government) <br />
Does that bond generate revenue? <br />
Answer: If it does not, someone is guilty of either theft, or gross negligence. <br />
Does my pledge, promise, oath or obligation, support the bond, if there is one? <br />
Answer: YES! <br />
If yes, when did I pledge, promise or make oath? <br />
Answer: Your parents initially made oath, you confirmed when you applied for your SIN. <br />
If there is no money in my bond generating revenue, who stole my money? <br />
Answer: This requires an RCMP investigation. <br />
Who initially put money in the bond? <br />
Answer: This requires an RCMP investigation. <br />
Is interest paid on that bond? <br />
Answer: This requires an RCMP investigation. <br />
If so, to whom and how much interest is paid? <br />
Answer: This requires an RCMP investigation. <br />
Does the revenue generated by the bond, if there is any, form part of the 'Federal Transfer Payments' the Federal and Provincial levels of government bicker over? <br />
Answer: YES! <br />
Would either level of representation have the right to control or access those payments if they were not acting as a representative? <br />
Answer: NO! <br />
To who do those Federal Transfer Payments actually belong? <br />
Answer: Whoever is being represented. <br />
Is there a fiduciary over the bond? <br />
Answer: YES, of ocurse! <br />
If so who is it? <br />
Answer: The Minister of Finance <br />
If not does this mean NO ONE is in charge of the bond? <br />
Is it true we have the right to deny consent to be represented and thus governed? <br />
Answer: Absolutely! <br />
Has your hand been 'in the cookie jar'? <br />
Answer: This requires an RCMP investigation. <br />
<br />
As all can tell from our agreed upon answers to these questions, there is clearly a need for an RCMP investigation on five or more seperate issues. If you do not agree this is the case, please get back to me within 7 days. I will be including a copy of this letter to the Commissioner of the RCMP and informing them that both I and my Member of Parliament feel there is a need for an immediate investigation. <br />

On Presuppositions<br />
Malcolm Gladwell. Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking. Little, Brown and Company: New York, 2005.<br />
<br />
D.L. Rosenhan. "On Being Sane in Insane Places." Science, vol.179, no.4070, p.250-258 (19 January 1973).<br />
<br />
In 1973, the peer-reviewed journal Science published a now-classic study in psychology. In its introduction, the study's author, D.L. Rosenhan, pointed out that the criteria for determining whether someone is mentally ill are highly subjective. The provocative question Rosenhan asked was this: Do diagnoses of mental illness come from the patient themself, or from the context in which a medical observer examines them? This study was designed to answer that question.<br />
<br />
Rosenhan recruited eight normal, healthy individuals, whom he termed "pseudopatients". Each of the pseudopatients arrived at one of a variety of mental hospitals and checked themselves in, claiming to be hearing voices saying words such as "empty", "hollow", and "thud". Other than this fictitious symptom and the use of pseudonyms, they truthfully answered every question they were asked, and once they were admitted, they immediately stopped complaining of any symptoms at all. At all times, they remained polite and cooperated with the hospital staff (medication was surreptitiously flushed down the toilet). The objective of the study was to see how long it would take for the staff to realize that they were not mentally ill and release them.<br />
<br />
The results were shocking. The pseudopatients were all released after between 7 and 52 days, with an average stay of 19 days. But more importantly, not a single one was realized to be sane by any of the doctors or nurses at any of the hospitals. Instead, they were released with diagnoses such as "schizophrenia in remission". Even more bizarrely, the other patients were more likely to recognize the pseudopatients as normal than the hospital staff. 35 out of 118 genuine patients voiced suspicions about the pseudopatients' claims of mental illness, and some told them, "You're not crazy. You're a journalist, or a professor! You're checking up on the hospital." <br />
<br />
Even seemingly obvious clues were overlooked. The pseudopatients kept notes on their experience; at first they attempted to conceal these, but soon realized there was no need. Even when the doctors observed them writing, they dismissed it as "note-taking behavior", another symptom of the presumed psychosis. When they asked ordinary questions such as, "Excuse me, doctor, can you tell me when I am likely to be discharged?", the staff frequently answered with non sequiturs such as, "Hello, Dave. How are you today?" and then moved off without waiting for a response. In interviews, the patients related their life histories truthfully, which might seem to provide evidence against a diagnosis of mental illness since they were legitimately well. However, these histories were likewise twisted, with psychiatrists interpreting and labeling every drifting apart as "ambivalence", every fight with loved ones as "outbursts of anger". There was no evidence of any conscious distortion; <b>the staff legitimately believed in the initial diagnosis, which became a lens that colored all their subsequent interpretation of the evidence. </b>1 In a sense, the fact that the pseudopatient was in a mental hospital seemed to be all that was required for the doctors and nurses to conclude that they were insane and treat them accordingly. Once a diagnosis was made, it tended to "stick", and from that moment on, the staff assumed that all behavior stemmed from that diagnosis.<br />
<br />
Rosenhan's paper spurred a variety of reforms in the mental-health industry, and it is to be hoped that the specific problems he identified have been, if not eliminated, at least lessened. But the ugly mark of presupposition has by no means been overcome, even today. This study was about conscious presuppositions, decisions made by doctors and nurses with the full consent of their faculty of reasoning. Chapter 3 of Malcolm Gladwell's 2005 book Blink discusses a different kind of presupposition - an unconscious kind - that can be brought out by a simple psychological exam known as the Implicit Association Test. Test-takers are shown a list, with two categories, and are asked to place each item onto the list in its appropriate category as quickly as possible. For example, consider this list:<br />

Topham views under attack: B¹nai Brith claims anti-Jewish writings Quesnel Cariboo Observer <br />

<br />
Dear Radical Reader,<br />
<br />
The Quesnel Cariboo Observer has been publishing my letters, articles and personal columns for over thirty years. I owe a debt of gratitude to this courageous paper for now interviewing me on this vital issue of concern and writing an article that is sure to bring the subject of free speech (and the issue of the Palestinian people) further into the limelight. It will undoubtedly bring a lot more too but that’s par for the course.<br />
<br />
I believe this is a wonderful window through which those who feel strongly about this issue can voice their opinions<br />
<br />
If any readers are so inclined please write to the Editor at Quesnel Cariboo Observer newsroom@quesnelobserver.com and express your views on this urgent matter. Every additional idea and expression of concern about freedom of speech and the tactics of the B’nai Brith and the Canadian Jewish Congress needs to be brought out into the clear light of open and public debate. The more people from around the country and the world who write in the better.<br />
<br />
Thank you,<br />
<br />

Topham views under attackB’nai Brith claims anti-Jewish writings<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Arthur Topham, owner, publisher and editor of The Radical Press, has received a complaint from the Canadian Human Rights Commission stating he’s promoting hatred towards Jews and citizens of Israel.<br />
<br />
B.C. representative for the League of Human Rights of B’nai Brith Canada Harry Abrams filed the complaint with the CHRC after articles were published by Topham on the Radical Press website, which Abrams felt were discriminatory against individuals of the Jewish faith.<br />
<br />
Topham, who has been publishing both a hard copy and online site since 1998, said he received the complaint Nov. 20, 2007.<br />
<br />
Since then, Topham has been working on a response to the commission – he sent the 13-page document to the CHRC anti-hate team investigator Sandy Kozak Jan. 3.<br />
<br />
He has not removed the articles in question from his website.<br />
<br />
“Harry Abrams and his partner in this complaint, the League for Human Rights of B’nai Brith Canada are exploiting and abusing the intent of the Canadian Human Rights Act for their own narrow, partisan, ideological purposes,” Topham said Wednesday.<br />
<br />
“They are not designed to promote and ensure the freedom of expression that the vast majority of Canadians demand and expect but rather are meant to buttress and support the political aims of a foreign state (Israel) of which these organizations are but political extensions.”<br />
<br />
Topham further explained it’s his criticism of Zionism and Zionist policies that have the CHRC worried.<br />
<br />
“They don’t want the people of Canada knowing what’s going on in Israel,” he said.<br />
<br />
Topham stated there’s been an increase in these types of complaints to the CHRC by both the B’nai Brith and the Canadian Jewish Congress since Sept. 11, 2001.<br />
<br />
In the aftermath of 9/11 Canada brought in its new Anti-terrorism Act, c.41 on Dec. 18, 2001 and along with it came changes to Sec. 13 (1) of the Canadian Human Rights Act which specifically deals with “hate messages.”<br />
<br />
It is Topham’s contention that both the B’nai Brith and the CJC played a significant role in defining the new interpretation of Sec. 13 (1) – one that he feels now allows both of these partisan groups to lay hate crimes complaints against any Internet user or website owner who criticizes Israel’s Zionist ideology and its racist policies toward the Palestinian people.<br />
<br />
And it’s Topham’s belief that charges are designed to silence debate on issues vital to both national and global peace.<br />
<br />
“If we cannot express our thoughts and ideas openly and freely,” he said, “then the democratic principles upon which Canada was founded become meaningless and dead and we might as well accept the fact that we are living in a communist dictatorship rather than a true democracy”.<br />
<br />
For now, Topham waits to hear back from the CHRC, but he’s pretty sure he already knows their answer.<br />
<br />
“My response won’t make any difference,” he said. “It doesn’t matter whether I’m writing the truth.”<br />
<br />
Topham explained the CHRC will present his response and Abram’s complaint to a tribunal who will review the evidence. A decision will then be made.<br />
<br />
In the past, writers have been ordered to remove the articles in questions, or take their site down. Some have resisted – this has resulted in jail time.<br />
<br />
“The irony of it is,” Topham said, “the person I love most in the world, my wife of 30 years, is Jewish.”<br />

" Arun Gandhi calls out "warning, warning" to jews (and he is correct, friends are being repulsed from the jews). jews don't hear "warning, warning", instead they hear "threat, threat" and label Gandhi, of course, as an anti-semite."<br />
