Lying As A Life Style

 

There most likely are many more than Casey Anthony who have been convicted of lying and serving time (from July 5 to July 17 2011) as a liar after being aquitted for murdering her 2 years old daughter, Caylee Anthony. All over the world people were convinced that she had killed her daughter to free herself from the burden of parenthood, and that she was an awful person altogether, shallow and mean. Before the trial she had sent the police, investigating her daughter's disappearance, out on several wrong tracks, one of them was an utterly false accusation of a woman whom she named as the nanny who stole her child. Also she told them that she herself had a job in a job place where they hadn't even heard of her. Another presumably false track was her father's alleged rape of her when she was a child. All in all she comes out as a LIAR, and many still believe that she also is a child murderer who got away with her crime.

Did she, or didn't she??? She was aquitted except for lying so that's what we know she did. As to the murder, your guesses are as good as mine. 

We also know that pathological lying - and that's what we seem to have here - isn't an illness like other illnesses, but still, most of us feel it's impossible not to see an incarnate liar as ill. They tend to have a borderline personality disorder (BPD), a narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) as well as an antisocial personality disorder (APD), and they come out as sick in the meaning of "crazy" in a general manner.

Liars may be charming and pleasant to be with. They often come out as full of good ideas, although these may lack substance. This lack of substance turns many of these good ideas into the opposite: BAD IDEAS. Many politicians feel a right to "bend the truth" and they don't even see this as lies. To them it's politics, and something "everybody does". Some even use lies as a non-masked tactic like e.g. Goebbels who (maybe falsely) has been quoted for advocating the so-called "big lie": "“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”" Did he say this? I've seen arguments both for the truth of this quote and the opposite ....

The 45th President of USA is a well-known liar. So are several other presidents in the succession line of America, and somehow people know this, but without wanting the heads of those "dissidents". This time it's different, even though Trump has his supporters and fans - his entourage, so to speak - because the lies are so blatant that they cannot be denied. Some of these lies just seem silly, like e.g. the ones about his weight: 6-foot-3, 215 pounds. No way that is true, and we know it. Now it has turned into a laughing matter: How could he think that we would believe such a blatant lie by a man whom we know is a super narcissist??? Well, the thing with this particular man is that he himself believes in his lies. Somehow they become the truth by being uttered by him, although they are not. Where the Goebbels quote signals a conscious strategy then the Trump approach to the truth as such reveals a general lack of knowledge. That doesn't only go for health issues as e.g. Covid which he suggested cured by very, very weird "medicines" but everything. His sky-high arrogance makes him stick to what he himself said no matter what and that's always a problem ....

The AMAZON-Swamp

 

When I had my interesting experience with a scammer trying to steal my AuthorHouse-book "The Naughty Peteyboy, Sonya, And The Magic Word", presumably to turn it into a movie, I decided to republish it. I have some of my published books on Amazon, but the newer ones are in Danish, published by Danish publishers, and "Peteyboy" is in English. After thinking it over I decided to republish "The Naughty Peteyboy, Sonya, And The Magic Word" as a KDP-book on Amazon. It should be safe, but doing so I opened my bank account for royalties. I know that the book has sold as I know some of those who bought it, but I don't see royalties on the account and that I find very weird. Well, be that what it is, as that was the preclude to something even weirder: I found illicit withdrawals from Amazon on my banking account ....

Me, being ME, doesn't like to be robbed, but when I made a protest to Amazon, it sort of got lost in their labyrinthine "helping system" which seems to be as fraudulent as can be: I was sent forth and back between non-relevant "help"-pages. However, I did get their attention when I talked to my bank about these illicit withdrawals, because they started to investigate Amazon and not only blocked my account, but deleted it which was what I asked for. Right now Amazon is sending me more emails with ridiculous and non-essential references to their presumed, but fake "helping" pages. Now why do they do that, is it to get some help with the fraud? No, it's to give them the name and number of my new banking account. 

I've found several internet references to this kind of Amazon scams. One of the most interesting ones is on Reddit, but it has been muted. How come, and who did that?????

Men Going Their Own Way: MGTOWs

The newest - as far as I know - in male ideologies is the MGTOW movement. MGTOW stands for "Men going their own way". It's opposed to feminism and something they call "Gynocentric laws" which they think always favor women. Also there is an aspect to this, i.e. the male FREEDOM that men have taken for granted, married or not. These day, women having found ways to secure their social situation through laws that don't rob them of freedom, status, money, etc. when divorcing or living alone, men feel that the male freedom seems to be assailed so they think that MGTOW will help them regaining the power of situations they all of a sudden can't control.

Reading pitiful complaints of Incels all over the internet it's obvious that many men of the younger generations feel cheated out of something they were brought up to believe was founded on NATURE. They seem to think that this mysterious "nature" was the 1950'iesk relationship of daddy being the bread winner and thus the king the hill in the family whereas mommy who was staying at home, preparing dinner for her husband and their kids, was part of his general accommodations. This "mommy type" woman always allowed her husband to have sex whenever he felt like it without "talking of clitoris, etc.". Being beset by the 1950-ideologies of clear-set gender roles in the perfect relationships even modern male ideologies seem to have room for the want of female orgasms. - When I saw an internet discussion (as far as i remember on Reddit) about whether women pee through their clitoris I knew that even today many men don't take the information about women they, by now, have been offered for 3-5 generations: They simply don't want to relate to anything but themselves and their own needs which they see as "natural" or even "God-given".

The loving slave is brought home

 

What they see as "natural" is patriarchy which they think goes back into the first days of humanity. The anthropological studies of recent years have proved that assumption to be false. There are several ideas about the history of the institution of patriarchy, especially when it comes to the time table, and it actually is very interesting to follow this tracking of a historic fact that subjected the female of humanity. "Several researchers have stated that the first evidence of patriarchal structures, signs of a sexual division of labor, dates from around 2 million years ago, deep within humanity's evolutionary past. Other anthropological, archaeological and evolutionary psychological evidence suggests that most prehistoric societies were relatively egalitarian, and suggests that patriarchal social structures did not develop until after the end of the Pleistocene epoch, following social and technological developments such as agriculture and domestication." (Wikipedia)

 

The male view of the development of human life

 

As to the MGTOWs they will have nothing to do with women - or so they say - but I frear they will turn up as pedophiles, serial killers of women or inmates of psychiatric wards. Why do I think something like that about the male gender when no man on this planet came from anything but a female uterus? My reason for thinking that way is that that's what patriarchy has abounded with for generations: "Women are toys, they don't feel a thing when we rape, kill and dismember them." Well, for your information, women are not toys and neither are children or animals.

 

These entusiastic MGTOWs who feel they "found the road to happiness" should remember one thing: Change the "M" into a "W" and you have another situation which has become en option for women that may be the future choice of many more ....

Body Odors - Likes and Dislikes ....

 

One thing is ruined clothes, but when it comes to cleanliness there are other, and i some ways, more important issues: Body Odor. That's the not-to-speak-of-but-serious problem in the lives of many people. Sweat doesn't in itself be stinky, but when we talk of BO, as is the "nickname" of Body Odor, that's most often what we are thinking of. 

Sweat may be the main problem to some, but others suffer from other complaints, like e.g. teeth and a mouth that's not as free of smells as they - and others - may wish. The very thought of one having this problem without knowing it may have killed off many good flirts which is a pity. 

Well, not only women may have this problem, but being "the beautiful gender", i.e. the one which is supposed to do whatever is possible to represent the beauty ideals of women in a patriarchy, they have to fight this (and other) odors at all costs: Do NOT have smelly armpits, mouths or vaginas, girls, as all kinds of odors are considered "unfeminine". According to the patriarchal ideals you're supposed to be eager to attract men and BO will make them shun you. Somehow BO is not as offensive as it's part of the mystique of masculinity. 

Well, "of course" (!!!!) a toothpaste that smells of whiskey is the thing for men who want to signal masculinity!!!! The male mystique includes sweat and alcohol, at least to some extent. Both of these are seen as come-ons that women should love if they were what's called "real women". 

Prince Andrew, Virginia Roberts and Ghislaine Maxwell in 2001

The meeting of these three people led to a very lucrative settlement of damages for one of them: Virginia Roberts. The others, Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell, "forgot" everything about it, and in an interview the prince was more upset at being called "smelly" by Virginia Roberts than being accused of having abused her, who was a minor at that time. He obviously was shocked to the very core of his being, yes wounded in his masculinity, and did everything in his might to explain why he might have been sweaty. However, the medical condition he was referring to, didn't fit - also it's a bit strange that he gives such information when, at the same time, he claims that he never met Virginia Roberts or have had sex with her.  

However, there is "smelly" and "stinky", one may come from bodily achievements, like e.g. in sports, and the other may stem from medical conditions or bad hygiene. Problems of a medical art will most likely be treated as well as possible, but as to the bad hygiene, we are left with a few - actually only one!!! - possibility/possibilities: Clean yourself! That's a wonderful situation for people who make a living by producing soaps, detergents, etc.: They just have to hint at the possibility that someone suffer from BO to get the attention of all presumptive buyers who will rush to the stores to buy these miracle products, no matter what. 

OK, I can relate and don't blame this guy for sort of forgetting what he has become for his dreamy recollections of what he was, or at least saw himself as having been at one early stage of his life. The problem is that mirrors don't decide our value on "the market" where the eyes and noses of other people have a say ....

I've seen derogatory comments on "the smell of women" from incels who may never have had a sexual experience with a real woman, i.e. one they have not dreamed up in some weird/pornographic fantasies. That's what sexual frustrations may lead to, but will this contempt for the female make these guys change their own smelly underwear? Naaahhh, for men "don't smell", and "the penis is clean as a finger". Not so, as e.g. the smegma of the male member is a real stinker: It's not natural, male fluids, but dirt. On the other hand, as the actress Gwyneth Paltrow has proven, there may be a market for the female fragrance.

Unwanted children

 

Looking like a child, but old enough to give birth: Jakayla Ashanti Williams (18 years old) had a baby she didn't want. What's very tragic is that she knew she had one way out of the situation, i.e. to dump the newborn at the hospital. It's obvious that she knew this, but chose otherwise, as she told her family that the child was at Southeast Health Medical Center, but at that time she had let it die in a trash compactor. 

Baby killers have always been around, so what she did wasn't anything new, and that even makes it sadder: We should know that women giving birth may not have made a conscious choice, but only let things happen not to e.g. disappoint their family who knows of the pregnancy. Something which I think was what led to a former, infamous case:

So she wanted to go on with her life and not give up all the fun for the tough maternal obligations? Thinking of it, reading about it, etc. is hard to those who would never as much as consider something like it, no matter what. Most of us have been brought up to believe in - and trust - the old myth of the mother who will toil with three jobs or even more to support her family and even risk her own life to save her children, but as we know, myths are MYTHs which is something that may be far from the truth. 

Chris Watts with his family, two daughters and his pregnant wife, which he murdered to be free, also to be with a new girlfriend. Other men have murdered their pregnant wives or girlfriends as they have had no intentions of establishing a commitment, either as a father, a husband or by accepting to have to pay the costly child support of having children out of wedlock. In this case the man stalled at the thought of having a third child which he hadn't wanted in the first place ....

Everyone who hears about the Casey Anthony case has an opinion about her acquittal of the more than suspicious death of her daughter, Caylee. It's my impression that most people don't support this verdict, and her image of a lying, even scheming woman who loved her party life, but not her obligations of motherhood. She appears to be an extremely cold hearted and overtly superficial woman and that makes people take for granted that she is guilty of murder. Well, I for one, was very surprised that she was acquitted, but the evidence was not enough to another verdict. Thinking about it I also come to ponder one fact: She was sort of forced into NOT having an abortion by her mother. This woman, who was the one who called the cops on her daughter, even seemed happy to become a granny of the child of the unmarried Casey.

If Casey Anthony told her mother that she chose her hanging out with friends and lovers, her freedom over the child she didn't want then that's a message that should have stopped all attempts of forcing her into going through with the pregnancy. We may find Casey superficial, a low life with money, and in all ways awful, but still, she has a right to make a choice. If she was forced into giving birth that was very unfortunate as it cost the life of her lovely daughter.

To Be Made A Fool Of by Scammers

 

It looked so nice, but I took my time before ordering it at the prize of $48.99 from a company calling itself "Global Online Discount", and when I decided to risk such a buying I soon found out that that was a very, very bad idea. This company doesn't work with praise and hallelujahs on the internet, on the contrary, and had I looked it up I wouldn't have ventured into this purchase. Well, in my book that means that I got my deserts as neither the merchandise nor the money materialized. Emails to this more than shady company were not answered which figures: Legitimate stores will have a visible phone number and a working email address which is something one should check before ordering - and I didn't. Blinded by lust - desire!!! - for this handy gadget I forgot all safety rules and got punished by the online demons that see to it that stupid buyers learn their lesson, so to speak: I never received what I had paid for, nor had my money back. Well, I can't say that that wasn't a possible outcome of my transactions, only I took my chance, which proved very foolish indeed .... 

I should have known that the internet is swarming with criminal online stores like Global Online Discount and that one should stay away from them, but I can't say this was the first - nor last - time I had such an experience. Actually I've became the naive as well as audacious victim of two other online stores that scam people, seemingly whenever they get the opportunity: "Yeejewel" and "ramnray".

Oy, put up for sale at a very low prize by one of the worst of the worst scammers: ramnray .... The prize ought to have warned me, and yes, I had some suspicions, but they were not strong enough: I fell for the ruse which was very, very stupid, especially as the acts of these criminals made it necessary for me to delete my banking account for protection. Before that they had stolen money from me four times in all. Luckily enough I found out before they could bleed me altogether, but I've heard of others who didn't see what was coming and who lost much more than I did from this and other scam companies ....

Well, lust have always been a factor in the stupid acts of people and I'm obviously no exception to that rule. I may laugh at myself for having been duped, but how would I've felt had this been a matter of life and death sales object? Or if I had been down to my very last money??? Luckily enough I'm not obsessed with money, but I may easily imagine a situation where that would be the case, e.g. if it was a question of being able to pay my rent or buy food which, sadly enough is the reality for many people in all lines of business.

My third adventure into the world of the more shady firms of the internet was with "Yeejewel": The order was confirmed at once and when I sent them an email when the date of delivery didn't bring the goods they replied very soon, promising to speed it up. The word they used was "asap", but it soon got more and more clear to me that their kind of "asap" was "scam" as nothing happened no matter what I did or they promised to do. So once more I was scammed by scammers, but at least I didn't lose very much this time. With "Global Online Discount" and "ramnray" the deal was about something I would like to have, but which I didn't really need. It was luxury, but with "Yeejewel" it is something else: I shall have to buy what I paid them for, but didn't receive, as I'm fully aware that Autumn and Winter isn't that far away ....

Well, this is some kind of joke, but I'm afraid that the day that something like that may become the truth isn't all that far. At least that's how I felt when the above mentioned scammers played havoc with my sense of safety on the internet. At least, I couldn't find any kind of protection except by buying it from companies which had many of the same bearings as the scammers, "ramnray", "Global Online Discount" and "Yeejewel" ....

 

Jezebel - The Classic Stereotype of The "Bad Woman"

 

So this is the Jezabel of modern times? Well, excuse me, but I thought this was the very competent Vice President of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris. At least so she is to me as well to most of the world, but it seems that to some men of the church she is first and foremost JEZEBEL: "According to reports by Raw Story and Baptist News, at least two white pastors in Texas have referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as a “Jezebel” because, apparently, whichever Jesus they praise is all about that holy misogynoir.
“What if something happens to [President Biden] and Jezebel has to take over?” Swofford asked. “Jezebel Harris, isn’t that her name?”"

To me she looks like a nice, free and bright woman who neither needs nor uses a lot of make-up to make an impact. However, I'm not blind to the fact that Church people may react to those very qualities as they believe a woman's place is in the kitchen or somewhere else (the church???) where she doesn't have to use the brain that was her birth gift. Also: In modern usage, the name of Jezebel is sometimes used as a synonym for sexually promiscuous or controlling women which I think is what earned Kamala Harris the Jezebel-name ....
 

As to the Biblical Jezebel then she was a born princess who married Ahab, King of Israel (1 Kings 16-31). As daughter of Ithobaal I, king of Tyre, she was a born Phoenician and she was used to worship the gods of her home country, Baal and Asherah, and not the Hebrew god Yaweh. In Biblical contexts she is described as a form of priestess or even prophet, but that wasn't unusual for the Phoenicians: High ranking female clerics were customary in the Asherah and Baal religion. Besides, being more than just a subordinate worshipper of her gods was against the subdued roles of Israeli women and something which also made her hated in her new country. As the queen of Ahab she naturally became a power factor in Israel, but people didn't accept her in her new country. When she - and her husband - turned away from Yahweh to worship the gods of her Phoenician home country as the institutionalized deities of her new country it was seen as a grave sin which gained her many enemies. One of these was the prophet Elijah whom she fought for years. However, in a godly duel, so to speak, Baal and Asherab didn't succeed in burning an ox, but Yahew did and that turned the fightings worse and worse. Elijah had to flee, but ended up as the ultimate victor of the ongoing religious wars in Israel.

As to Jezebel she came to a sad ending as her death by being thrown from a window fulfilled a presumably godly prophecy that her corpse was to be devoured by dogs. Those days that was the ultimate in degradation, but then wasn't she a baaad woman who deserved everything that came to her? I don't think so, in my opinion she was a brave and committed person who fought for her believes and her religion, but also for the role of women. One can't call her a feminist, but still what she did was kind of feministic. However, her stereotype signals a demeaning sexualization that turns her from a spiritual and intelligent being into something quite different ....
