    Sometimes they tell the truth; when it is in their best interest.

    Limited Hangout:

    "A 'limited hangout' is spy jargon for a favorite and frequently used gimmick of the clandestine professionals. When their veil of secrecy is shredded and they can no longer rely on a phony cover story to misinform the public, they resort to admitting - sometimes even volunteering - some of the truth while still managing to withhold the key and damaging facts in the case. The public, however, is usually so intrigued by the new information that it never thinks to pursue the matter further."

    -- Victor Marchetti (August 14, 1978) The Spotlight

  15. Re:Lots of people forget that Tolkien was a schola on Bring On the Monsters: Tolkien's Translation of Beowulf To Be Published · · Score: 4, Informative

    One needn't stretch too far, to view Beowulf as the literary manifestation of an older, orally transmitted tradition. The "Geats" are derived etymologically from the "Goths", the famous early Germanic people known to the latest classical antiquarians:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geats
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goths

    Funny, to classify this as "Northern". The eventual disposition of the Germanic people were in Europe's outer northwest regions, but the culturally defining aspect of the people were present, even as they were occupants of the Balkan peninsula, and swathes of steppe, far to the east.

    The Indo-Iranic hero tradition is similar in ethos and story development to the Teutonic myths. Small reason for surprise, really - when one considers the near common origin of Caucasus and steppe tribes, some which eventually invaded as Aryans in Asia, others who pushed westward as proto-Germanic migration and invasion.

    Wealth is not some personal virtue, but the expression of a policy position, made by powerful syndicates. Those syndicates include the elite powers within a state, and their allies in "finance" and industry.

    To be specific - the "rich people" became rich, through the application of the state.

    And read the article summary at the top of the page, again. It is a textbook case-study defining the term "Police State".

    A police state is not one, contrary to cold-war era thrillers, where armed men patrol every street corner, asking for "papers".

    A police state is the one, where, subject to arbitrary criminal suspicion by default, individualsnhave de facto rights that are inferior to the rights for police to act, at every level from municipal to federal.

    Enjoy your police state, America.
