HONG KONG (MarketWatch) -- "China has pledged in secret to back a euro-zone bailout that will include investments in infrastructure and sovereign debt, the U.K.'s Sunday Times reported. The paper cited sources close to the G20 group of nations' talks in Paris which it didn't identify. In exchange for the backing, China is seeking additional commitments on budget cuts and structural reforms among member nations of the currency bloc, the report said. China had indicated its willingness to invest "tens of billions" by purchasing infrastructure assets from financially ailing states, while Chinese banks would increase purchases of sovereign debt, the report said. 'China wants to be sure that Europe knows the size of the hole and that it won't get any bigger before they agree to fill it in,' The Sunday Times cited one source close to the talks as saying."
"Better to subdue a country intact than to destroy it completely. The damage caused makes victory less impressive because the skillful, conquer without a fight. Those who win battle after battle do not have supreme skill. Those who have supreme skill, use strategy to bend others without coming to conflict. The best plan is to win by strategy and capture without siege and victory without prolonged warfare. Uproot fortifications without attacking and absorbing organizations without prolonged operations. Those who are skillful in executing strategy fight in many areas to win; politics, diplomacy, scheme, economics, military, and ensure victory without fighting." ~Sun Tzu (496+ BC)
Homeland Security has been caught lying again and again about airport security in a bid to undermine genuine privacy concerns
SOURCE: Paul Joseph Watson Infowars.com Tuesday, September 6, 2011
Janet Napolitano’s contention that Matt Drudge is “just wrong” about privacy worries surrounding airport screening technology is completely at odds with the facts, which illustrate how the DHS has been caught time and time again lying about both privacy and health issues in a transparent ploy to undermine genuine concerns.
“I think that what he means is we are watching too much—kind of an Orwellian view. He’s just wrong. I mean, he’s just wrong,” Napolitano told Politico, labeling privacy concerns “overblown”.
A quick fact check however shows that it’s Napolitano who is “just wrong”. The DHS has repeatedly lied about the privacy and health threats posed by naked body scanners in an effort to keep the controversy under wraps, as well as withholding evidence.
- Privacy concerns were completely justified after a recent release under the Freedom of Information Act of DHS plans for the mass rollout of mobile body scanners, documents which were largely redacted, with entire pages having been blacked out by the agency.
- Before the agency was forced to roll out new “stick man” software upgrades, to deflect genuine privacy concerns, the DHS simply lied about the fact that the scanners produced naked images of the body which showed genitalia in crisp detail.
- When the agency was finally forced to admit that the scanners do produce naked images, they then claimed that it was not a privacy concern because such images could not be printed or saved in any way. This claim was exposed as yet another act of mass public deception when documents emerged confirming that the U.S. Marshals Service had surreptitiously saved thousands of naked images from a scanner at the security checkpoint of a single Florida courthouse. The Electronic Privacy Information Center also obtained documents from the DHS showing that the machines used by the department’s TSA screeners are not only able to record and store naked body images, but that they are mandated to do so.
- In claiming that the body scanners were safe, DHS cited a study by Johns Hopkins University. This was a complete lie. In reality, Dr Michael Love, who runs an X-ray lab at the department of biophysics and biophysical chemistry at the Johns Hopkins school of medicine, concluded that “statistically someone is going to get skin cancer from these X-rays”.
- Big Sis was also caught lying about the level of radiation emitted by the scanners. Scientists at Columbia University found that the dose emitted by the naked x-ray devices could be up to 20 times higher than originally estimated, likely contributing to an increase in a common type of skin cancer called basal cell carcinoma which affects the head and neck.
- The TSA was also caught lying about subjecting children to pat downs in yet another transparent ploy to undermine genuine privacy concerns. In April, the TSA defended the groping of a 6 year-old girl, saying it followed policy. Yet in November 2010, the agency had vowed to conduct no ‘enhanced’ pat-downs for children under 12.
- Napolitano’s attempt to dismiss the “Orwellian” nature of how the DHS operates in the context of airport security is noticeably absent the fact that journalists who have been critical of Homeland Security have found their names being placed on a terror watchlist, people like CNN reporter Drew Griffin.

The vibes we put out, attract the same back to us, sooner or later. The whole Illuminati game of human control is manipulating and implanting Humanity's imagination of itself (subconscious imagination of itself), and that then becomes our conscious reality - the matrix. If we want to change our reality, our lives and the world, then we must change ourselves.
In this video, David Icke (whether he knows it or not) touches on the "born again" experience.
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV).
At 2:24 in the video, David talks about "an awakening" and "another level" within himself. If he, or anyone reading this, wants to go all the way into the truth and the light; the guaranteed way for humans is to accept Jesus into our hearts and shed ourselves forever of satan's deceptive "conscious reality".
It is known that the Illuminati are born of satan. And Jesus explains: "The time for judging this world has come, when satan, the ruler of this world, will be cast out" (John 12:27 NLT). Jesus has all power and authority. From Jesus, satan has no choice but to flee. When we believe in Jesus, He transfers this power to us. So on this point, David Icke is almost right. We have the ability to take power back. However, true power isn't our power - it is the power of God.
Discovering the power of Jesus is to believe in Him and accept Him into our heart. The transforming power of His Holy Spirit then affects change as described by Icke in this video - and much more. To learn for ourselves - we simply need to study and follow the four spiritual laws.
If we have Christ in our hearts, we have His power over evil. This is almost what Icke is beginning to understand and explain through this message, except Icke does not mention Christ. Quickparser is also almost right when he says: "If we want to change our reality, our lives and the world, then we must change ourselves." God has granted us the authority to make our own decisions. But the power of true transformation doesn't come from within ourselves. It comes from the "rulers and authorities of the unseen world" (Ephesians 6:12 NLT). We have to be careful of the source of our power. We must make absolutely sure it is Jesus - else we are deceived.
The Apostle Paul explains: "Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ. For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority" (Colossians 2:8-10 NLT).
May God bless and Jesus be with each of us throughout our new spiritual beginnings.
Many of us are in a slumber. It's as if a spell has been cast. If you are a praying person, please join with me in intercession.
Father God - I pray for an awakening of Your people. I pray the deceptions of those who seek to lord over us are revealed. Please expose all lies and cast all evil into the outer darkness. Father God we need boldness to stand against the enemy. We seek the power of Your Holy Spirit. I pray that each of us shall repent now and turn to You - the one true God. Help each of us grow in your precious name Christ Jesus. We seek to honor You in everything that we do. Amen.
Now that our hearts and minds are prepared, let's move on to the happenings of the world.
On June 9, 2011, President Obama issued a sweeping executive order for a White House Rural Council that purports to exert broad municipal powers over the food, fiber, and energy production of Rural America.
The Russians executed similar schemes in the early 1900's.
...This group intended to dominate the people. Through lies, and false promises of peace, bread, and land, they won the support of many people. They claimed that property and wealth should be taken from the minority, who owned it, and divided among the common people. However, the Communists' real goal was that the people would have no property and no freedom and the state, in effect, would become god...
They... seized all private property, and declared Lenin head of the new Communist government.
...though only a relatively small number of Russia's people were Bolsheviks — the 175 million people of Russia were under their control and representative government, which had been promised, was not to be. The Communist insurgents took over all newspapers and henceforth only the Communist line could be publicized.
The peasants had to work on 'collective farms,' owned by the Communist state, or in factories. Some who attempted to work their own farms and resist their Communist takeover were either shot to death on Stalin's orders or transported to Siberia for slave labor in prison camps.
If you aren't alarmed yet, take a look at the Executive order in the context of United Nations Agenda 21.
..the Executive Order [13575 Rural Councils] seems to be in line with the United Nations radical Agenda 21, as it is designed “to begin taking control over almost all aspects of the lives of 16 percent of the American people.”
Agenda 21 For Dummies
It is clear to me now that only God can save the United States of America. Please, for the sake of our country, take time every day to repent and pray.
The White House’s “death of bin Laden” story has come apart at the seams. Will it make any difference that before 48 hours had passed the story had changed so much that it no longer bore any resemblance to President Obama’s Sunday evening broadcast and has lost all credibility?
So far it has made no difference to the once-fabled news organization, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), which on March 9, eight days later, is still repeating the propaganda that the SEALs killed bin Laden in his Pakistani compound, where bin Laden lived next door to the Pakistani Military Academy surrounded by the Pakistani army.
Not even the president of Pakistan finds the story implausible. The BBC reports that the president is launching a full-scale investigation of how bin Laden managed to live for years in an army garrison town without being noticed.
For most Americans the story began and ended with four words: “we got bin Laden.” The celebrations, the sweet taste of revenge, of triumph and victory over “the most dangerous man on the planet” are akin to the thrill experienced by sports fans when their football team defeats the unspeakable rival or their baseball team wins the World Series. No fan wants to hear the next day that it is not so, that it is all a mistake. If these Americans years from now come across a story that the killing of bin Laden was an orchestrated news event to boost other agendas, they will dismiss the report as the ravings of a pinko-liberal-commie.
Everyone knows we killed bin Laden. How could it be otherwise? We--the indispensable people, the virtuous nation, the world’s only superpower, the white hats-- were destined to prevail. No other outcome was possible.
No one will notice that those who fabricated the story forgot to show the kidney dialysis machine that, somehow, kept bin Laden alive for a decade. No doctors were on the premises.
If bin Laden beat all odds and managed to live another decade to await, unarmed and undefended, the arrival of the Navy SEALS last week, how it is possible that the “terror mastermind,” who defeated not merely the CIA and FBI, but all 16 US intelligence agencies along with those of America’s European allies and Israel, the National Security Council, the Pentagon, NORAD, Air Traffic Control, airport security four times on the same morning, etc. etc., never enjoyed another success, not even a little, very minor one? What was the “terror mastermind” doing for a decade after 9/11?
The “death of bin Laden” serves too many agendas that cover the political spectrum for the obvious falsity of the story to be recognized by very many. Patriots are euphoric that America won over bin Laden. Progressives have seized on the story to excoriate the United States for extra-judicial murder that brutalizes us all. Some on the left-wing bought into the 9/11 story because of the emotional satisfaction they received from oppressed Arabs striking back at their imperialist oppressors. These left-wingers are delighted that it took the incompetent Americans an entire decade to find bin Laden, who was hiding in plain view. The American incompetence in finding bin Laden simply, in their minds, proves the incompetence of the US government, which failed to protect Americans against the 9/11 attack.
Those who ordered, and those who wrote, totally incompetent legal memos that torture was permissible under US and international law, thereby setting up George W. Bush and Dick Cheney for the possibility of prosecution, are riding the euphoria of bin Laden’s death by declaring that it was torture that led the American assassins to bin Laden. All of a sudden, torture, which had fallen back into the disrepute in which it had been for centuries, is again in the clear. Anything that leads to the elimination of bin Laden is a valid instrument.
Those, who want to increase the pressure on Pakistan to shut up about Americans murdering Pakistani citizens in Pakistan from the air and from troops on the ground, have gained a new club with which to beat the Pakistani government into submission: “you hid bin Laden from us.”
Those who want to continue to fatten the profits of the military/security complex and the powers of Homeland Security, such as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, use bin Laden’s second, or ninth, death as proof that America is being successful in its war on terror and that the war must continue on such a successful path until all enemies are slain.
Most ominous of all was the statement by the CIA director that bin Laden’s death would lead to new attacks on America and new 9/11s from al Qaeda seeking revenge. This warning, issued within a few hours of President Obama’s Sunday evening address, telegraphed the inevitable “al Qaeda” Internet posting that America would suffer new 9/11s for killing their leader.
If the Taliban knew in December 2001 that bin Laden was dead, does anyone think that al Qaeda didn’t know it? Indeed, no member of the public has any way of knowing if al Qaeda is anything more than a bogyman organization created by the CIA which issues “al Qaeda” announcements. The evidence that al Qaeda’s announcements are issued by the CIA is very strong. The various videos of bin Laden for the last nine years have been shown by experts to be fakes. Why would bin Laden issue a fake video? Why did bin Laden cease issuing videos and only issue audios? A person running a world-wide terrorist organization should be able to produce videos. He would also be surrounded by better protectors than a couple of women. Where was al Qaeda, which according to former Pentagon chief Donald Rumsfeld, consists of “the most dangerous, best-trained, vicious killers on the face of the earth.” Had these most dangerous men alive abandoned their leader?
The CIA director’s warning of future terrorist attacks, followed by a suspect “al Qaeda” threat of the same, suggests that if the American public continues to lose its enthusiasm for the governments open-ended wars, which are conducted at the expense of the US budget deficit, the dollar’s exchange value, inflation, Social Security, Medicare, income support programs, jobs, recovery, and so forth, “al Qaeda” will again outwit all 16 US intelligence agencies, those of our allies, NORAD, airport security, Air Traffic Control, etc. etc., and inflict the world’s only superpower with another humiliating defeat that will invigorate American support for “the war on terror.”
I believe that “al Qaeda” could blow up the White House or Congress or both and that the majority of Americans would fall for the story, just as the Germans, a better educated and more intelligent population, fell for the Reichstag Fire--as did a number of historians.
The reason I say this is that Americans have succumbed to propaganda that has conditioned them to believe that they are under attack by practically omnipotent adversaries. Proof of this is broadcast every day. For example, on March 9, I heard over National Public Radio in Atlanta that Emory University, a private university of some distinction, treated its 3,500 graduating class to a commencement address by Janet Napolitano, Secretary of Homeland Security.
This is the agency that has goons feeling the genitals of young children and adults and which has announced that it intends to expand this practice from air travelers to shopping malls, bus and train stations. That a serious university invited such a low-lifer, who clearly has no respect for American civil liberty and is devoid of any sort of sense of what is appropriate, to address a graduating class of southern elite is a clear indication that the Ministry of Truth has prevailed. Americans are living in George Orwell’s 1984.
For those who haven’t read Orwell’s classic prediction of our time, Big Brother, the government, could tell the “citizens” any lie and it was accepted unquestioningly. As a perceptive reader pointed out to me, we Americans, with our “free press,” are at this point today: “What is really alarming is the increasingly arrogant sloppiness of these lies, as though the government has become so profoundly confident of its ability to deceive people that they make virtually no effort to even appear credible.”
A people as gullible as Americans have no future.

Today, April 27, 2011 David Wilkerson went to be with Jesus. We are receiving many inquiries and wanted to confirm the fact that he has passed away in a fatal car accident. We appreciate your prayers and our hearts are sorrowful, yet we rejoice at the joy of knowing David Wilkerson spent his life well. —The Wilkerson Family
Funeral Service: Texas - Monday, May 2
Memorial Service: New York - Saturday, May 14th
“David served the purposes of God in his generation, then he died” (Acts 13:36).
On Wednesday afternoon my father, David Wilkerson, passed away in a car accident. We grieve the loss of a beloved father, a faithful husband and a holy man of God. My mother, Gwen, his wife of 57 years, was in the car also, but we are told she will recover fully.
Dad’s 60-plus years of ministry have impacted the lives of those closest to him and extended to millions around the world. Today we feel a personal loss, but at the same time we rejoice knowing Dad lived life to the fullest, obeying God with devotion and loving Jesus radically.
He was known for his unlimited faith. He believed God could change the lives of gang members and transform the most desperate drug addicts. He believed that a dynamic church could be launched in the heart of Times Square, New York City. He believed he could be a man who loved his wife and children well. And he did.
Dad was not one for fanfare, acclaim or ceremony. He turned down invitations to meet with world leaders yet would give everything he owned to support a poor orphan or a widow in distress.
Like King David of old, Dad served God’s purposes in his generation. He preached with uncompromising passion and relentless grace. He wrote with amazing insight, clarity and conviction. He ran his race well and when his work was done, he was called home.
I don’t think my father would have retired well. I don’t think he was one to sit in a rocking chair and reminisce about times past. I believe that Jesus, knowing this, graciously called him home.
Dad’s last mission on earth was to be an advocate for the poorest of the poor—to provide relief and support for hungry children and widows and orphans. After founding Teen Challenge, World Challenge and Times Square Church, he sought to feed starving children in the most impoverished countries in the world. Today, Please Pass the Bread is saving the lives of thousands of children, through 56 outreaches in 8 countries.
Like King David of old, after having served God’s purpose, he died. I know if my father were able to encourage you with his words today, he would invite you to give your all to Jesus, to love God deeply and to give yourself away to the needs of others.
The works he began outlive him. We can all attest to his impacting us—not only in his preaching, writing and founding of world-changing ministries, but in his love, devotion, compassion and ability to stir our faith for greater works.
David Wilkerson wrote the following message. This message has touched my heart.

In January, Illinois Governor Pat Quinn signed into law a significant income tax increase. Since then, according to a report by Kurt Erickson of Pantagraph.com - Wisconsin, Indiana and New Jersey have attempted to "poach companies" out of Illinois. But specifically, Caterpillar CEO Doug Oberhelman "said he's being actively courted to move (Caterpillar)". The Erickson report includes correspondence from the Governors of Texas, South Dakota and Nebraska.
"I stand ready to help convince you to relocate or expand in the fiscally conservative, low-tax Lone Star State," wrote Texas Gov. Rick Perry in a Jan. 24 letter.
Author and blogger John Lott writes: "Caterpillar is an Illinois institution. If the company leaves the state, it will be a big blow. It would be interesting to see how much increased tax revenue Illinois is actually going to get from this tax increase."
John is underestimating the impact. The tax increase is already a big blow. However, a Caterpillar move would likely trigger a devastating industrial exodus. Even before the latest tax hike, few right-minded manufacturing companies were seeking to locate in Illinois. If Caterpillar moves, the prospect of new manufacturing will completely dry up and the plants that are left will race for the exits - if they aren't already doing so.
This story appears to have been first published on the web site of a local Bloomington, IL newspaper - Pantagraph.com
Caterpillar CEO's letter talks of leaving Illinois
By Kurt Erickson
The chairman and CEO of Peoria-based Caterpillar Inc. is raising the specter of moving the heavy equipment maker out of Illinois.
In a letter sent March 21 to Gov. Pat Quinn, Caterpillar chief executive officer Doug Oberhelman said officials in at least four other states have approached the company about relocating since Illinois raised its income tax in January.
"I want to stay here. But as the leader of this business, I have to do what's right for Caterpillar when making decisions about where to invest," Oberhelman wrote in the letter obtained Friday by the Lee Enterprises Springfield bureau. "The direction that this state is headed in is not favorable to business and I'd like to work with you to change that."
Oberhelman said he's being actively courted to move.
"I have been called, 'cornered' in meetings and 'wined and dined' -- the heat is on," Oberhelman wrote. "Before, I never really considered living anywhere else and certainly never considered the possibility of Caterpillar relocating. But I have to admit, the policymakers in Springfield seem to make it harder by the day."
Cat spokesman Jim Dugan said the letter was designed to show Quinn that Oberhelman wants to be involved in finding solutions that benefit the company, which employs 23,000 people in Illinois.
An unclassified 2009 Pentagon contractor report “Economic Warfare: Risks and Responses” by financial analyst Kevin D. Freeman is the focus of an important article by Bill Gertz. The Gertz article, "Financial terrorism suspected in 2008 economic crash", appeared in the Monday edition of The Washington Times. Although most of the Gertz article focuses on "the first two phases", the most important information for us today is the prediction of the "PHASE THREE ATTACK":
The Pentagon report states that the evidence of financial subversion revealed that the first two phases of an attack on the U.S. economy took place from 2007 to 2009 and “based on recent global market activity, it appears that the predicted Phase III may be underway right now.”
The entire one hundred and eleven page report is available online at here at Scribd. The key section entitled "Phase Three: Collapse the Dollar, Bankrupt the Treasury" appears on page 66.
Based on the assumed nature of Phase One and Phase Two, a Phase Three attack would likely involve dumping of U.S. Treasuries and a trashing of the dollar, removing it from reserve currency status. This is clearly foreseeable as a risk and even could float under the cover of a natural outcome in much the same way that Phases One and Two potentially have been hidden.
The implications are extremely serious. If the dollar were not the reserve currency, there would be a mass dumping of Treasury instruments by foreign holders. Treasury interest rates would skyrocket, further worsening the annual deficits due to sharply higher interest payments on expanding debts. The Treasury would have to raise taxes dramatically, further dampening growth or the Federal Reserve would be forced to monetize the debt, worsening inflation concerns. Pushed to the limit, could the U.S. dollar would follow the path of the German currency in Weimar Germany following defeat in World War I.
This scenario in the 2009 report is very similar to that now being laid out by Porter Stansberry
Conservatives are long-accustomed to liberal media spin. It's something that we know exists and most of us can pick up on it in the blink of an eye. In fact, many of us are conditioned to the point that we can no longer bear the mental and spiritual anguish of watching the so called "news" as "reported" by CNN and MSNBC. That is -- without physically shouting at our television screens. However, now we are faced with an even more daunting challenge of mind and spirit.
Recently, our mainstream media darling (FOX News) has been caught red-handed committing CNN-like fraud against one of our own.
The article “Fox News Caught In Ron Paul Dirty Tricks,” by Paul Joseph Watson offers conclusive proof of the FOX News CPAC Hoax.
In a shocking act of mass public deception, Fox News attempted to skew Ron Paul’s 2011 CPAC straw poll win by representing it with footage from the previous year’s CPAC event, at which Mitt Romney supporters had loudly booed the result, another example of the continuing dirty tricks campaign being waged against Paul by the establishment media.
For a quick comparison, jump to 4:38 in the video to watch the actual audience reaction. Any doubters that remain after viewing the Paul Joseph Watson article and embedded videos are encouraged to listen to the in-depth monologue “FOX News CPAC Hoax Analysis,” by Alex Jones.
So, what should an honest conservative do with this knowledge?
First of all, we must face the blunt truth. Anyone who chooses to ignore this information logically falls into at least one of the following three camps -- apathetic fool, coward, or fellow traveler. Those who remain need to understand why the FOX News organization would take the time and energy to defraud its loyal customers.
Clearly, it takes a coordinated effort to produce a video in this way. Someone likely gave the production crew the order to create the falsified clip. Someone likely coordinated and approved the airing of the falsified clip. Someone likely instructed the reporters to ask Ron Paul to comment on the falsified clip.
However, in order to arrive at the coordinated effort, someone at the top of FOX News first had to come to the personal conclusion NOT TO ALLOW their organization to promote Ron Paul’s straw poll victory. Furthermore, they had to be so convicted in their conclusion as to develop a premeditated plan of action. They also had to be high enough on the food chain to make it all happen. This was a highly deceptive plan of action. It was not only designed to obscure the straw poll victory. It was set up to actively smear the candidate both with a fraudulent video and an accompanying “news” report.
To understand the effort is to understand the motive. Ron Paul is the only conservative candidate who is willing and able to stand up to the private Federal Reserve.
In his book “The True Story of the Bilderberg Group,” Daniel Estulin writes about FOX News and the private Federal Reserve (excerpts from pages 94 and 95):
FOX News Channel, part of the FOX network, is owned by Rupert Murdoch, who owns a significant portion of the world's media. His network has close ties to the Republican Party and among his "fair and balanced" commentators is Newt Gingrich, former GOP Republican House speaker. Murdoch, needless to say, is a luminary in the secret Bilderberg Group. He has most recently added the Wall Street Journal to his empire.
In the United States, the "independent" banking system is known as the Federal Reserve System, a privately owned bank system interlocked with the Bilderbergers. In Europe, the independent banking system is run through the European Central Bank, whose monetary policies are put together by the leading members of the Bilderberg elite.
Armed with this knowledge -- the motive is clear.
This fraud is no small matter. It’s a rare proof of conspiracy. It’s proof of a hoax perpetrated by the FOX News organization to steal support from the leading conservative presidential candidate. It’s an effort to shape your views. It’s a direct effort from the top echelon to form your opinion -- for you. It’s MindWar waged on the political front. The true aim of MindWar is described by Michael Aquino in his 2003 pamphlet “From PSYOP to MindWar: The Psychology of Victory.”
You seize control of all the means by which his government and populace process information to make up their minds, and you adjust it so that those minds are made up as you desire.
Do the research. Voice your outrage. Resistance is victory.
In my experience, moral courage is as important as physical courage, and is needed by everyone. It’s also in much shorter supply.
In my experience, women can be beautiful, pretty or cute. A pretty woman can also be cute, and a beautiful woman would likely qualify as pretty, but not necessarily the other way around. I don’t know how to define these states of being, but I know it when I see it. And on the whole, I prefer cute.
In my experience, when someone says, “It’s not the money, it’s the principle”—it’s the money.
In my experience, the more focused on self a person is, the less happy that person is.
In my experience, bad politicians get elected because we like the bad policies they promise us for our own short term gain.
In my experience, voters want lower taxes, but they also want more spending in any area they care about, especially if it benefits them personally. Which is why government is frequently in fiscal crisis.
In my experience, un-earned self esteem does more harm than good. It creates “praise junkies,” who expect endless compliments on the flimsiest of pretexts. “Good boy, John—you got your socks on the right feet.” “Nice outfit, Mary—it almost matches.”
In my experience, parents, teachers and bosses who praise mediocre performance get more mediocre performance.
Mr. Hall has much more experience to share - read the rest of it at "The Old Jarhead" blog.
