America’s Soup-Brained President Says The US Never Interferes In Other Countries’ Elections — Caitlin Johnstone

Somebody had to say it. Caitlin Johnstone does a decent job of it, although far more could be said and documented with evidence.
The fact that not one person in the press pool questioned or criticized Biden’s outrageous remarks tells you everything you need to know about the western media and what its real function is....
The US position is that it is OK for us to do since we are exceptional.

There is simply no evidence the US government has ever interfered in an election. Completely Baseless. Multiple congressional hearings and the FBI itself refuted these claims for decades. It's settled. Nothing but Crazy talk and conspiracy.

“ individuals—especially during conflict—use different defenses to preserve their societal beliefs. Therefore, we developed a new paradoxical thinking intervention that provides consistent—though extreme—information, with the intention of raising a sense of absurdity but not defenses. …. we offer a new avenue to overcome these barriers by exposing participants to a long-term paradoxical intervention campaign expressing extreme ideas that are congruent with the shared ethos of conflict. Results show that the intervention, although counterintuitive, led participants to express more conciliatory attitudes regarding the conflict, particularly among participants with center and right political orientation. Most importantly, the intervention even influenced participants' actual voting patterns in the 2013 Israeli general elections: Participants who were exposed to the paradoxical intervention, which took place in proximity to the general elections, reported that they tended to vote more for dovish parties, which advocate a peaceful resolution to the conflict.”

It’s paradoxical approach and it’s completely acceptable… they are not trying to avoid hypocrisy they are using paradox… you guys are not trained scientists (science doesn’t allow paradox) and not only that but you don’t even understand how your own methodology works…

What is this woman’s degree in? Journo? Literature?

You guys are not Science trained you Art liberal Art trained, so then you observe others who are liberal Art trained using your same trained methodology and you get your panties all in a twist… you guys are the real hypocrites because you seem to not be making a decision which methodology you endorse…

They are using a dialogic method with paradox here… textbook liberal Art degree 101…they never said they are using Scientific method…

You guys should be cheering them on… supporting them…

It’s the same thing with the Fed adding 120b per month of reserves then at the same time having to reduce reserves thru RRP…

They are avoiding what is to them undesirable conflict which would have to take place in order to make proper regulatory adjustments…there would be observed winners and losers as a result of such regulatory adjustments… they are avoiding that..

“Hypocrites!” Mat 23

He was science trained (techne) and so was I so ofc we’re not going to be comfortable in sight of hypocrisy .. so the indignation is understandable…

But what is you guys excuse? you guys are dialogically trained so you have no business expressing indignation at the sight of hypocrisy… it’s a feature of your methodology not a bug… you should support it..

“ Biden’s outrageous remarks”

They are not “outrageous!” they are normal paradoxical remarks we can see it happening ALL THE FUCKING TIME….

Matt Franko said...

Tom, where in your Socrates playbook does it say you can’t use paradox? Where?

Matt Franko said...

And that’s the other thing this female is allegedly anti-war so here the Biden admin is going “Trump Lite” as been their usual and picking up on Trumps dialogic alternative to warfare which was obviously working (which ofc course can use such things as paradox, etc as well as many other figurative constructs) and avoiding warfare and THEN she has a problem with it…. she’s the hypocrite 100%…

If you were being sarcastic, my apologies -- you just never know, you know? :)

And if that is the case, then here -- let me replace the above youtube link with an interview of one of the great American actors Mickey Rooney :)

Just to be clear, you are refering to whom, Matt -- the dead Greek guy or the Brasilian footballer (no dummy either)?

Matt has gone into paroxysm mode.

Matt Franko said...

Uh… the guy whose Socratic methodology the entire western academy system of higher education was historically based upon maybe? Maybe That guy?

Matt Franko said...

Then people currently trained there today employ paradox and these other morons trained there lose their shit…. When it’s textbook Socrates 101…

It’s really humiliating for me personally to have to share the same atmosphere and breathe the same air as these morons everyday…I guess we all have our cross to bear … :p

You see, that's where Turner Classical Movies (TCM) comes in. Great way to relax watching the classics. Like just two weeks ago, TCM had an Andy Hardy movie marathon. For me, I needed those sentimental comedies to unwind after a very hard week. And this past week on TCM, it was the 1970 science fiction thriller Colossus: The Forbin Project that did it for me. What a movie! Great acting all the way thru: Eric Braeden (the German/American actor who plays, btw, the Victor Newman character on the soap The Young and the Restless), and the two Canadians: the attractive Susan Clark (Coogan's Bluff) and Gordon Pinsent :)

Yet still better. The new stuff is but a lousy rehash of the old.
