John Loeffler Steel on Steel; Uniting the Races with Truth





Uniting the Races with Truth

Uniting the Races with Truth

John’s extended boralogue ties the discordant economic arguments emanating from Washington with the reality of onrushing monetary crises. This includes excerpts from John’s address at the Steeling the Mind Conference in Denver last weekend.

Since the onrushing crisis involves a demise of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency, we’re tracking the issue of an emerging global currency. Is there a chance carbon might back such a currency instead of gold? Dr. Michael Coffman, Ph.D., (www.rescuingamericabook.com) discusses such a possibility.

“A man who is about to speak the truth should do so with one foot in the stirrup,” advises an old Chinese proverb. As our country slides into critical times, we must insist on passing beyond trite accusations and name calling to resolve hardball questions about race relations. Telling the truth would be a good start even when people don’t want to hear it.

Jesse Lee Peterson founded an organization called, BOND, (www.bondaction.org) “uniting the races with truth instead of dividing them with lies.” The show closes with news stories and persecution update.

Fallacy of the Week – Complex Question


Complex Question _ coercion by asking a loaded question. Supposing or inferring intent, placing the second party in an uncomfortable or confusing position.

Examples:

1. “Is there anything hidden in your carry-on that could hurt me or anyone on the plane?

2. “How often do you lie to authority figures?”

3. “Will you finally accept reality and admit that you are wrong and I’m right?”

These are just a few examples of complex questions. They are “loaded” because they infer a fact that hasn’t been established. The complex nature of the question means that a simple yes or no answer will infer guilt. It attempts to set a ground rule for further incrimination. These type of questions are constructed to do just that. The person being asked the complex question may simply ask a return question to diffuse it. For example:

TSA worker: “Is there anything hidden in your carry-on that could hurt me or anyone on the plane?

Passenger: “I don’t know what can hurt you so you tell me?”

First, it’s assumed that you’re hiding something. Next, you would have to knoweverythingthat could hurt anyone before you could truthfully answer. Maybe someone has a rare allergy to something you’re carrying but you wouldn’t know that unless they told you!

Watch out for the loaded question and be prepared to ask the right question back!
