Lies, A Contradiction Of The Truth

Lies, A Contradiction Of The Truth. -Examples, Teaching and Opinions-

I came across an article yesterday, titled and linked below, that caught my attention.

Flake and Corker Feel Liberated to Speak Minds That Should Terrify Trump

As a backdrop, before this article was published, there had been several  reports that Senator Jeff Flake had been critical of  President Trump's "behavior" even using the word "dangerous" at one point, while at the same time, he announced his decision to not run for re-election. This article is related.

To keep things clear, quoted content from the linked, complete article content, will be in BLUE print.  ABC's commentary, teaching and opinions will be in the default BLACK print.
The article starts off with the statement;

THE BIG IDEA: Now Jeff Flake can listen to his conscience, not his consultants.
As if Flake couldn't listen to his own conscience BEFORE?

Looking at this statement at face value, most people didn't think twice, but the few who did noticed that the statement implies that Jeff Flake did NOT listen to his own conscience UNTIL just now, after FIRST deciding not to run for re-election.

Further more, according to various news reports, Flake also NOW feels free to say publicly, that President Trump's state of mind is "dangerous"!  This has been stated in many different ways by many different people, starting from well before the election. 

Most recently, talk intentionally meant to emphatically declare that President Trump is mentally unstable, has been  parroted by three top Republican lawmakers, Flake, Corker and John McCain.  The three, either by coincidence or by the hand of God, share  both the distinction and the experience, of now living within their closing days as lawmakers. The significance of this, has yet to unfold.

Having experienced and studied "psychopathic bullying" for over 15 years, I can tell you that the "mental health card" is a common tactic used uniquely by REAL psychopathic bullies. But like all psychopathic bullying tactics, being built on lies and deception, they are intended to change perceptions against their "targets". 

But like all lies, they are a contradiction of the truth.  When you look just a little bit deeper, the contradictions become obvious.

For example, It would be scary to believe that Flake, Corker and other top lawmakers, REALLY believe their own lies about the president's mental health.  The contradiction being, that if the president's mental health was really all that dangerous, nobody in their right mind with a  moral conscience, especially a top lawmaker, would have hesitated a moment to say it. Never mind first waiting to decide about running for re-election!

The second example starts with the quoted text.

"As one of the most authentically conservative members of Congress, Flake has a level of moral authority rivaled by few others."

This statement was supported by the next statement about Flake's political history, or did it?

"Flake was proving his conservative bona fides by leading the charge to kill earmarks, voting against Medicare Part D despite arm-twisting from George W. Bush himself and speaking out against deficit spending by his own party."

The words and terminology alone, throws some doubt about Flake's "level of moral authority", but before your mind can even begin to wonder about how "speaking out AGAINST his own party" is "proving his conservative bona fides"  When the next sentence;

"House GOP leaders even removed Flake from a choice slot on the House Judiciary Committee in 2007 as retaliation for his criticism." -

-Throws in, yet a bigger question,  How does being removed by your own party's leadership "from a choice slot", "as retaliation for criticism", add-up,  to some how mean that Flake "has a level of moral authority"? 

The article then repeats the point that the article failed to convince you of.

"This part of his background makes it hard for anyone to credibly argue that Flake speaking out against Trump is anything but principled." 

Does it REALLY?

I have noticed recently, that the news media has been repeating or reinforcing their points and conclusions again toward the end of the same article, more than they used to. Especially  articles like this one, where the major points are not clearly stated in the first place.  It's as  if stating it twice, makes you believe something the article had failed to convince you of.

-Just an observation though-

In conclusion, read important articles slowly or re-read articles that you found compelling enough to base your opinions on.  Read between the lines and watch for the inconsistencies and  contradictions that become obvious, when the assertions are either contradicted within an article content its self, or by logical consideration of the "usual course of events" one would normally expect.  

Here's to learning just a little bit more, about the importance of looking just a little bit deeper!

Bullying Against President Trump, Hidden in Plain Sight

Bullying Against President Trump, Hidden in Plain Sight

 (An Opinion By ABC-AntiBullyingCrusador)

I am having a hard time lately reading about everyone in the news media, as well as celebrities, politicians and probably my next door neighbor (if I had the guts to ask), who seem to think it's okay to openly disrespect the President and even publicly bully his young son Barron.

The article, partially quoted and linked to full content below, seemed to aggravate me more than most. I tried to relieve that feeling of aggravation by writing a comment in the reader's comment section at the end of the article. I carefully wrote my comment and filled in the identifying info they requested, Pressed Enter, DELETE ERROR X2. Now I am TWICE as aggravated as before.

Never wanting to let go of being TWICE as aggravated as before, I decided to share BOTH the aggravating article AND my aggravated reader's comments that I couldn't send. I also clued you in, as to how this all  pertains to the adult bullying and mobbing phenomenon, which remains the same, whether it's affecting a workplace, nation or the entire world.

Miss Texas Rips Trump at Miss America Pageant

Miss Texas, Margana Wood, did not win the Miss America pageant, but her 15 second response to a question about trump and white supremacists did give her thunderous applause and a huge new fan base.

During the Q&A portion of the event, Wood was asked about Trump’s response to white supremacist violence in Charlottesville, Virginia last month, when he said there were "very fine people on both sides. Her response was:

"I think that the white supremacist issue, it was very obvious, that it was a terrorist attack. And I think that President Donald Trump should’ve made a statement earlier addressing the fact, and in making sure all Americans feel safe in this country. That is the number one issue right now."

Wood has a history of standing up against bullies such as the white supremacists that Trump failed to denounce. As Miss Texas, she called her platform "You Belong" and spoke out against bullying and for equality and inclusion.

"It’s important for everyone to hear the phrase because they do ― Everybody Belongs" Wood told Out Smart, a Houston-based magazine for the LGBTQ community.

I think this article is what the President is referring to when he talks about "fake news". When the President and I were growing up, Real News did not express the author's opinion about the story like the author did in this quote "the white supremacists that Trump failed to denounce," - Now that's OPINION which I do NOT agree with, and this article is presented as "News" NOT opinion. This is a DEMOCRACY in which the media has an OBLIGATION to truthfully, factually and without bias, report the REAL news.

 "A Democracy is undermined when the press and/or the news media, strays from the truth because of bias or when truth is confused with opinion.ABC-AntiBullyingCrusador"

What is MOST disturbing about this article was the choice by someone at the Miss America Pageant,  to use probably the MOST divisive question imaginable, during the Q and A portion of the event. Who would even think to ask "about Trump’s response to white supremacist violence in Charlottesville"?  This one question divided the whole nation!

Is it not obvious that someone maliciously used that question to harm Trump's Presidency? The President is being "bullied" by a REAL bully, meaning someone with diminished empathy Instead, motivated to do harm? This is what I mean by a "Real bully"..

There are many principles of the adult bullying and mobbing phenomenon which  remain the same, regardless if it affects a workplace, nation or is global.  One principle is how hidden it is. This article is a glaring example of just how HIDDEN real adult bullying and mobbing really is!

In this case the President of the United States was literally attacked by a psychopathic bully, who chose the most divisive question possible with the premeditated intention of causing harm to Trump's presidency, at a time when it was already challenged. (Not to mention that bullying someone when they are already down, is another bullying tactic.)

The attack was nationally if not globally televised.  There was also more than adequate Internet coverage describing these events correctly as they really occurred.  However, with the exception of just one article that I could find, they were all biased against the President.  

The REAL (criminal) events, taking second place to things like "the thunderous applause and huge new fan base" that the contestant gained by her anti Trump answer was reported.  Most, just piled on the HATEFULNESS of their anti Trump opinions as the BULLYING of the President continues unabated. Hidden and Unnoticed by most. 

The one pro Trump article titled "When Did Miss America Pageant Turn Into Nasty Woman Protest, described the pageant like this; 

"It was as if Elizabeth Warren and Hillary Clinton were sitting underneath the Atlantic City boardwalk, sipping Chardonnay and writing this year’s questions."

Yet, even in this pro-Trump article, there is NO OUTRAGE!

Let's REALLY watch our President's back!

By first Recognizing it, then Naming it "BULLYING AND/OR MOBBING", then expressing OUR OUTRAGE!, Whenever it is used AGAINST Our President!  Then,

Let's End Bullying and Mobbing Together!

-God Bless President Donald Trump-
