Once, President Charles De Gaulle said that he was amazed at the way in which people believed politicians, considering that he was a politician and knew that he lied all the time.
As early as durning the times of Socrates, many philosophers scolded rethorists and sophists - the politicians of that time - for their practices, and even today we see how they lie, unfulfill their promises or twist facts to their advantage.
But aside from the lack of ethics that seems so common among politicians, there is an objective set of knowledge which allows all sorts of leaders to command people and convince them to do what they want. What the late leader of France said is indeed true: it is easy to manipulate humans.
You can use this knowledge or not; if you use it, you can become a politician and use unethically, or you could be a team coach looking to improve your team's performance, or a business person trying to run your company better.
But even if you are a common citizen, it is good to learn about these techniques to avoid being scammed by politicians; today, two quasi-ideologies seem to be growing in our world, and both manipulate individuals in a very dangerous way.
One is the Islamic fundamentalism stimulated by organisations like Al-Qaida; please don't confuse this with muslims in general, because Islam as a whole is not the same as the collection of these crooks, and we want to stress this point. Fundamentalist terroristm sponsors convince young people to commit suicide and kill others in the process (of course, they never go on such missions, they let other go visit Allah sooner, how considerate, don't you think?) But on the other side we have this 'neo-what?' proposed by the politicians now in powerful positions of the U.S. government, including its President, with very questionable and turbid links to industries which are clearly profiting from the profussion of wars that we see nowadays. Oil producers and weapons' manufacturers are having a feast, while tens of thousands are getting killed in places like Iraq. It is easy for a president to say that such a carnage is worth it, because he doesn't have to experience being blown up, neither anyone in his family has paid the price of amuptation, loss of blodd and post-traumatic stress syndrome due to combat wounds or experiences. Countries have to be defended and patriotism is a wonderful thing, but is there in the battlefield any relative of any politician who voted or applauded the invasion of Iraq? And speaking of Iraq, they went in because their intelligence services said that the country was something like a shopping centre for WMDs (Weapons of Mass Destruction), yet one, just one has to be found. The U.N. deemed this invasion as illegal, and everyone seems to have forgotten that if such is the case, U.N. officials never retracted so we must assume that they still believed that the invasion was a felony; then the international community should be thinking about sitting the leaders that ordered such an invasion (remember, thousands died as a consequence), in front of an international tribunal, plain and simple.
But everyone seems to have forgotten, and the same intelligence services that made the incompetent or ill-natured assesments that led to the invasion are now receiving extra attributions to tamper with your mail, phone calls, privacy and liberty. Don't delude yourself: these practices were common in countries like Honecker's East Germany, and they are not needed, in fact, to fight terrorism much as the Berlin wall was not needed for anything except curtailing their own citizen's liberties.
Terrorism exists for a long time, yet no one in the past ever considered spying in such a way over innocent citizens under the pretense of a security that indeed, never comes; this looks increasingly like an Orwellian novel, and it is an obligation for every honest supporter of liberty and freedom to learn about these things and stay alert.
We can testify to the dangers of letting intelligence services do whatever they want; we have received undue pressures and harassment since we denounced the presence of neo-naiz elements within the Argentine and Chilean intelligence agencies (see here), and what happened in these countries in the late seventies is proof of that.
Civil rights organisations, human rights activists, etc. Should keep an eye over intelligence agencies and services because now they are almost as dangerous as the terrorists that they pretend to catch. Remember: what they say and masses believe is just plain and simple brain wash.
