"For a brief time in the early 1970s, Charles Reich was one of the most famous writers and teachers in America. He was a Yale Law School professor who taught a popular undergraduate course, “The Individual in America,” that attracted more than 600 students per session.

Sensing a new spirit of enlightenment in the youth revolution of the 1960s, he put his observations into a 1970 book, “The Greening of America,” that sold millions of copies and became one of the defining manifestos of the era of hippies, psychedelic music and love beads. . . . "

Beat Polygraph Tests Easily Which Are But "Insidious Orwellian Instruments Of Torture" According To Former Police Detective And Polygraph Examiner

     Monday, 13 April 2015, NEW YORK, NY - Former Oklahoma police detective and polygraph examiner Doug Williams, now aged 69, reportedly has been coaching people for 36 years how to beat polygraph so-called "lie detector" tests which in addition to the quote in the above post heading he also calls "nothing more than a psychological billy club used to coerce and intimidate people". Federal law prohibiting the use of polygraphs by most employers, a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that lower courts may ban polygraph results from evidence and the scientific community repeatedly warning about polygraph tests' potential inability accurately to detect lies all would seem provide a firm foundation for former Detective Williams' strong assertions about the potential for the authoritarian misuse of essentially worthless polygraph test results to persecute the innocent.
     Nevertheless reportedly the federal government, state and local law enforcement unsurprisingly continue routinely to administer polygraph tests and apparently rely on them not unduly concerned with the U.S. Supreme Court ruling, federal legislation and the scientific community's seemingly obvious strong admonitions about the polygraph's unreliability. This intransigence extending to the highest levels of law enforcement and government would seem to be confirmed by the fact that even the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) less than a half year ago in November 2014 charged former Detective Williams with witness tampering after he tutored undercover agents posing as federal job applicants who had committed crimes on how to beat the polygraph.
     Not to worry that Mr. Williams will be stifled or unavailable for tutoring due to court dates ahead in the DOJ case against him as Mr. Williams would seem to be all the more enthused with presumably much added publicity to his cause of exposing the great polygraph lie including for example as widely circulated in The New York Times article linked to below now given the opportunity to broadcast his message far and wide of "this dangerous myth of lie detection". Moreover former Detective Williams has taken the opportunity of the publicity afforded him by DOJ to cast himself as the victim of government retaliation for widely publicizing the polygraph's apparently rich potential for false results or, again in Mr. William's own words, "I've made them look like fools and con men".
     Interested readers will find former Detective Williams' polygraph-beating techniques succinctly outlined in two short paragraphs in the article linked to below which techniques however presumably would best be learned due to physical monitoring considerations actually hooked up to a practice polygraph machine. Thankfully practice no longer even requires clenching one's anus in response to certain benign "control" questions to feign distress in contrast to how to "calm oneself" before answering "relevant ones about a specific incident" (after practicing in advance telling the two types of questions apart) as well as heeding Mr. Williams most important first admonition which is "not to be intimidated".

Texas Photo Voter ID Law Okayed In Decision That Is "Unsigned And Contained No Reasoning" Released By U.S. Supreme Court In 5 a.m. Predawn Darkness Advancing GOP Anti-Democratic Strategy Confirms Rumors Court Majority LIkely Suffers Dementia, Alzheimer's, Senility And / Or Brain Damage Combo

       Saturday, 18 October 2014, WASHINGTON, D.C. - The United States Supreme Court in the cold pre-dawn darkness of 5 a.m. this Saturday upheld the Texas photo Voter ID law one of the strictest in the Nation's flood of Republican initiated and enacted voter suppression and prevention laws in yet another of the GOP's nationwide billionaire-funded efforts to bolster Republican desperate attempts to keep "undesirables" being the overwhelming majority of eligible United States voters away from the polls in an effort to unfairly unconstitutionally install GOP candidates trying to win undemocratic elections across the country intended to solidify the country's ruling oligarchy in power and further widen the historically unprecedented ever-widening gap between the tiny number of ever wealthier non-taxpaying ultra-rich and the hugely overwhelming population of poor and getting poorer struggling and suffering Americans.
       The Texas photo Voter ID law addressed in an earlier post in which the Federal District Court female Latina judge sitting in Corpus Christi, Texas threw out the law calling it one of the worst unnecessary voter restrictive laws in the nation finding corrupt woman-hating AG "Dark Money" Greg "Payday" Abbott's argument on behalf of corrupt GOP-ruled Texas that it was intended to stop non-existent voter fraud among other specious claims totally without merit with the Court likening it to a "poll tax" in a nearly one hundred fifty page decision was overturned in the pre-dawn darkness by the U.S. Supreme Court in a decision that was "unsigned and contained no reasoning" per the New York Times article linked to below. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote a six-page dissent joined by Justices Sonia Sotomayer and Elena Kagan.

IV. Google Retaliates For Google+ Deceptive Practice Disclosure? BREAKING NEWS: U.S. Supreme Court Summarily Rejects Woman-Hater Abbott Texas Law To Close All But Eight Abortion Clinics In Texas Leaving Just Eight Statewide Only In Metro Areas None Anywhere South Or West Of San Antonio Including El Paso

       Tuesday, 14 October 2014, WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Supreme Court in just a five sentence order dealt corrupt Woman-Hater AG "Dark Money" Greg "Payday" Abbott his latest in a stunning series of judicial whacks in the face as courts left and right across-the-board continue to deal the habitually hypocritical lying Abbott flat-out defeats in cases nationwide as the mean-spirited lying phony Abbott continues to bat zero in his attempts to control women's bodies, his further efforts to deprive Latinos, Blacks and other minorities of voting rights and dealing him a defeat in next month's Texas Governor election with his contrived tossed out "Voter ID" requirement to vote, trying for no reason to rush the execution of a Texas inmate without even a few begged for days to determine if he was mentally retarded and thus illegal for the state to kill under Texas law, and too many other mean-spirited nasty losing legal fights to list here just in order to further his own greedy corrupt political interests in keeping the dark money bribery gravy train open as the state's highest elected official.
       Abbott apparently would have no problem with someone taking full control of his body which is fortunate since it may soon be thrown in a federal prison cell along with indicted Texas Idiot Governor Rick "Payback" Perry as evidence mounts daily of Perry conspiring with Abbott illegally to hand out Perry's "Taxpayer Funded Enterprise Slushfund" without Abbott doing his State legal duty of requiring illegally distributed cash favors totaling $222 million be returned to Texas taxpayers and in fact then himself taking a $1.4 million kickback of illegally handed-out funds of over $3.2 million dollars unlawfully kept by Abbott's major "donor" criminal Bank of America.
      Meanwhile Abbott after taking another immediate slap in the face from the Nation's highest court which rejected out-of-hand Abbott's usual characteristic bogus illogical unconvincing legal arguments for Abbott trying to close all but eight abortion clinics open throughout the whole of the Nation's second-largest state in population and geographical area as well. But not before corrupt Women (and most other people)-Hater Abbott delivered his usual pathetic complete lie of an attempted comeback being not man enough just to say he did not believe in abortions because of his unique Roman Catholic beliefs (strangely at odds with the Church's as to his own avid support of the death penalty even for the mentally retarded where the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church now has said that the death penalty should never be used unless it is to prevent an imminent credible danger of the immediate killing of another). Instead corrupt Woman-Hater AG "Dark Money" Greg "Payday" Abbott fell back in an instant on his ready ability to shamelessly lie claiming as usual the Court's order was wrong because as he stated as if fully delusional that it were fact that with eight clinics open in all of the state in just in a few metropolitan areas and none south or west of San Antonio including none in El Paso that clinics were readily available to all Texas women.

       Meanwhile Google appears to continue to retaliate against the Ninth Amendment by interfering with recent posts reader access and/or accurate statistical reporting for the Ninth Amendment's exposure of just one component of Google's alleged deceptive practices in trying to coerce Google Blogger and other service users to switch to Google+ solely for Google's financial benefit in attempting to create a contrived very lucrative social media franchise by deceiving current users to disclose personal information and artificially create friendships and relationships between persons which are non existent one example of which is discussed for interested readers in the link immediately below:
