I told myself a lie… well actually not just once but many times. How many times has this happened to you? Notice I am not asking if you lie but I am telling you that you do tell lies even if they are white ones. Did you know that in every 10 minutes in our conversation we lie? Now there’s something to ponder about…

Reason Why Do Kids Lie

By: Paul Banas

It wasn’t me Daddy! You must have heard your 5-year old say that you at some point or other, when you knew it was in fact he who did it. How do you deal with your kid, knowing he is lying to you? When your child lies to you, remember he is not doing it on purpose. The reasons why kids lie are:

Short-Term Memory: Children in the age group of five have short-term memory. If your kid tells you he didn’t do it, chances are that he does not remember doing any thing wrong.

Wishing it away: Often, children wish that the wrong did not happen, and tend to believe that it actually did not. So, if your child denies a wrong, he simply might be convinced that he did not do it.

Imagination: A five-year-old child has a very fertile imagination, and loves to conjure up fantasy worlds of his own. He lives in a fantasy world, and thinks that all of it is actually true.

Fear of disapproval: Your kid does not want to disappoint you. He might fear the fact that a mistake could upset you, and he does not want to be in that situation. He tries to avoid that by lying to you.

Feel good factor: Your child wants to impress not just you, but also himself. He makes up stories to ‘enhance’ his amazing feats. There is an underlying desire for approval from parents that leads kids to come up with such tales.

Seeking attention: Children often desire attention from people around them. Your kid can easily learn that a tall one definitely will elicit a reaction from you, and decides to play his cards. He does not care if the response is not positive, his motive has been met – you reacted to his tale. He is successful in getting the attention he seeks this way.

Control: Kids often love to be in control of a situation, and make believe situations where they are in control.

Testing parents: It may sound frustrating to you, but your kid at this age is constantly trying to test the limits you will allow him to go. This gives them an understanding of their own powers in the household. They resort to stretching the truth as one of the ways to do this.

How to Lie – Convincing yourself First

By: Edward Latimore

After observing many people have affairs and watching people tell obvious lies and omit the truth, I’ve come to discover two things about liars and lying: most people are not nearly as good at lying as they think they are, and great lying is much more difficult than most people (usually those who are not that good at it) think it is.

To tell a lie is easy. In a study about lying it was revealed that students lie in 77% of their conversations with strangers, 48% with acquaintances, and 28% with good friends. Even though most of these lies would qualify as fibs or white lies and are not the type of lies that those of us who cheat are going to be telling, I just want to use that piece of information to make a point. Lying about trivial daily things is easy, but lying convincingly about something important is more challenging.

However, the most difficult (and most impressive) lies are the ones that not only convince someone that what you’re saying is true, but also simultaneously sends them in a totally different direction, making them cast doubt on their own powers of judgment.

The Perfect Lie Starts Within

These types of lies are perfect not only because they are the most difficult to pick apart, but also because they are at once offensive and defensive. They protect the liar and indirectly (or directly, considering how malicious the intent is of the deceiver) attack the accuser in such an effective manner that often these types of lies cut down on the amount of times you have to lie later.

Before you can lie like this, we have to begin with the basics and build up to more advanced concepts. First I’ll introduce my two basic philosophies about lying successfully.

“It’s not what you know, it’s what you can prove.”
- Alonzo Harris, Training Day

“It’s not a lie if you believe it.”
George Costanza, Seinfield

Let these ideas seep into your heart and mind really become part of you. If you want to consistantly lie with success then you must fully understand that your primary goal is to create a new set of facts and reality that the person that you are lying to believes without a doubt. And before you are able to convince someone else to believe something new, you must first fully believe it yourself. Let’s go further and discuss how to achieve both of these things.

First, you have to believe what you are saying to the person is true. When someone comes across as a bad liar, this is usually the part that has been neglected. I personally feel that this is the most important aspect of lying. Actually, this part of lying might be more important

Your brain–the one that controls every action that you make–is a truly amazing thing that will decide to believe exactly what you want it to. The evidence for this is excessive. A hypnotist can make a person believe anything they want them to about themselves and even if you don’t buy into that, I’m sure you have had (or know someone that has) an experience where you a remember an event differently from someone else.

If you gave your account of the event, you would not exhibit some of the telltale signs that someone who is lying would and neither would the person who has a conflicting recollection of the event. Obviously one of you is lying, but because you both believe your versions of the story, you wouldn’t come off as a liar to anyone you told it to. This is the power of your mind.

Repitition Makes a Good Lie

The easiest way to convince yourself of any set of facts or story you want to tell is repetition. Just keep saying the story over and over to yourself, both out loud and in your head. After saying what you’ll say a few times over, next begin to add movement and motion.

You’ll want to practice telling your lie a number of times as if you are right in front of the person. You are an actor, and the key to your success is getting your lines perfect. The more times you are able to rehearse mentally and physically, the more comfortable you get with your story. It becomes a lot like self-hypnosis and you truly begin to believe what you are saying.

Way to go, you have completed the first step of creating a good lie: convincing yourself that it is not a lie; it’s reality.

So far, this may seem like a lot of work for you get away with cheating regularly, but these are just the basics. We are crafting the habit of lying perfectly. These parts don’t actually have to take a lot of time, especially if you are telling a simple lie like, “That must have been a wrong number,” or “I was just out with some friends.”

Now, by my standards those are not good lies, content wise, but if you mastered the presentation of them, then you would probably stand to do a lot better at convincing someone of the truth. Remember the point of lying is not to fix a situation temporarily, but to create and maintain a reality that you want others to accept without question. Keep this in mind as you read through the articles on how to lie.

OBAMA LIES – to voters

By: Obama Lies

OBOAMA’S LIES

Stop the Cap & Trade vote – NOW in the U.S. Senate. CALL YOUR SENATOR NOW.

The 1,500-page cap-and-trade climate legislation, also known as Waxman-Markey, passed by a narrow margin late in the day on June 26. Members of Congress added 300 of those pages early in the morning on the day of the vote. It is safe to assume that hardly any of the 435 Members of Congress read the bill in its entirety, meaning one of the costliest bills in American history was rushed through so politicians could enjoy their 4th of July recess.

Cap and trade is nothing more than a massive energy tax, which is why its chief alternative is a carbon tax, and it has been sold under the following false pretenses:

* It will not cost anything;
* It will increase jobs;
* It will increase green investment; and
* It will save the environment.

A Lot More Than a Stamp a Day

A commonly quoted cost estimate of Waxman-Markey comes from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), which claims that cap and trade will cost the equivalent of a postage stamp per day–$175 per household in 2020.[1]

But CBO admittedly ignores economic costs such as the decrease in gross domestic product (GDP) as a result of the bill[2] and the fact that consumers and business will change their behavior as a result of higher energy prices. This is a serious oversight that has significant economic consequences.

In The Heritage Foundation’s economic analysis of the Waxman-Markey climate change legislation, the GDP loss in 2020 was $161 billion (in 2009 dollars).[3] For a family of four, that translates into $1,870–more than 10 times the size of the $175 CBO claim.Furthermore, the Heritage analysis found that for all years, the average GDP loss was $393 billion, or more than double the 2020 loss. In 2035 (the last year analyzed by Heritage), the inflation-adjusted GDP loss works out to $6,790 per family of four.

Energy-intensive industries will also suffer significant losses. For instance, farming is very energy-intensive, with fuel, chemical, electricity, and fertilizer costs; since cap and trade drives up the cost of energy prices, farmers’ losses will undoubtedly outweigh any money they collect from offsets (the money businesses would pay farmers to reduce carbon emissions by either not farming or using more efficient technologies). The Heritage Foundation’s Center for Data Analysis found that farm income (or the amount left over after paying all expenses) is expected to drop $8 billion in 2012, $25 billion in 2024, and over $50 billion in 2035. These are decreases of 28 percent, 60 percent, and 94 percent, respectively. The average net income lost over the 2010-2035 timeline is $23 billion–a 57 percent decrease from the baseline.

It Is a Jobs-Destroying Bill

President Obama and Democratic House leaders claimed that Waxman-Markey is a jobs bill. With the lavish subsidies for green investment placed in the bill, surely companies will hire workers to build solar panels and windmills; however, the number of “green” jobs will pale in comparison to the number of jobs lost due to higher energy prices and slower economic growth.

The goal of cap and trade is to drive up the costs of energy in order for people to use less of it. Because just about every business uses energy to produce goods and must pay their own electricity bills, the cost of production for businesses increases, and consumer demand falls for two reasons:

1. Price hikes on goods reduce demand, and
2. People have less disposable income due to higher energy prices.

Overall, production cuts and reduced consumer spending destroy jobs and slow economic growth, which further increases unemployment.

The Heritage analysis found that over the 2012-2035 timeline, job losses average over 1.1 million. By 2035, a projected 2.5 million jobs are lost below the baseline–without a cap-and-trade bill.[4] Some jobs will be lost completely, while others will move to different countries where the cost of production is cheaper. Again, these losses are on top of “green jobs” created as a result of the bill.

Less Renewable Energy

The final House bill contained many renewable energy investments in an effort to attract votes. The Waxman-Markey proposal even requires that more electricity come from so-called renewable sources, chiefly wind energy but also others like biomass and solar. Ironically, according to an analysis of the bill by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Waxman-Markey would actually result in less renewable energy produced than without the bill because of the overall decline in electricity use.[5]

Green projects do not pay for themselves; it is the taxpayers who fund the research and development of renewable energy and the cost of the subsidies that are required to make renewables competitive. Yet renewable energy still only provides a small fraction of America’s energy needs, and it is more expensive per kilowatt hour than traditional, reliable sources of energy. Consumers lose doubly, paying more as taxpayers and as ratepayers.

It Will Not Save the Planet

The alleged benefit from cap and trade is that the regulations will reduce carbon dioxide emissions enough to slow warming and reduce global temperatures.

According to climatologist Chip Knappenberger, Waxman-Markey would moderate temperatures by only hundredths of a degree in 2050 and no more than two-tenths of a degree at the end of the century.[6] Even EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson concurred, recently saying, “I believe the central parts of the [EPA] chart are that U.S. action alone will not impact world CO2 levels.”[7]

A multilateral approach would not fare much better. In the case of international cooperation, India, China, and the rest of the developing world would have to revert to their 2000 levels of CO2 emissions by 2050. On a per-capita basis, China would backtrack to about one-tenth of what the U.S. emitted in 2000. India and most of the developing world would have to drop to even lower levels. This scenario, in addition to being highly unlikely, would de-develop the developing world.

Moving Forward

Now that the bill has passed the U.S. House of Representatives, it will likely move to the U.S. Senate this fall. It is important to remember that everything policymakers have promised this bill will do will in fact do the opposite. Cap and trade will drive up energy costs for years to come, resulting in economic pain and higher unemployment. All of these points will be equally important, if not more so, in the Senate debate.

Obama and his lying team are telling the people exactly what they want to hear. The people are getting half-truths or down right lies, after they tell them what they want to hear. Obama and his lying team must be STOPPED NOW.

Obama’s plan to give all U.S. citizens one thing, that is LIFE TIME BONDAGE TO THE U.S. GOVERNMENT FOR EVERY PART OF YOUR LIFE WILL BE UNDER CONTROL OF THE GOVERNMENT, check it out for yourself. Read all the bills that have been passed and sign in to law, go to http://www.usa.gov/. Or  http://www.heritage.org/ Read the book of REVELATION in the Holy Bible and looking at 2 Timothy 3:1-5. DO NOT BE A NAIVE PERSON it is time to be a RESPONSIBLE  PERSON for yourself, family, other people and the United States and the world.
