Re: Theos-World Actual malice (libel on theos-talk)

Hallo all,

A view to consider:

I would like to refer to the following page:
"THE MANIPULATED MIND
Brainwashing, Conditioning and Indoctrination
Denise Winn
Malor Books, 2000

Most of us cherish our values of individual freedom of thought. Yet after the Korean War, American POW's fell greater victim to Chinese brainwashing techniques than those of other nationalities. Some made bizarre and even impossible confessions.

The Manipulated Mind explores the pioneering research that, sparked by this issue, developed into one of the most provocative fields of current psychology. Today brainwashing is no longer seen as merely a special subversive technique, but rather as the clever manipulation of unrealized influences that are continually operating in all our lives.

The Manipulated Mind helps us to see how manipulated we really are. And in doing so, it offers us an opportunity to become more self-directed."

Please do not consider this as an attack on anyone in this debate.
I just thought it could be worth while considering.

from
M. Sufilight with peace and love...

Subject: Theos-World Actual malice (libel on theos-talk)



Here is a site with some information on libel.

http://www.hfac.uh.edu/comm/media_libel/libel/definition.html

I don't know whether I could be considered a public figure, but the
things repeatedly said about me on theos-talk by Dallas rise to the
standard of libel of public figures, which is higher than that of
private individuals: actual malice. Here's the definition: "Actual
malice is the act of publishing or broadcasting statements with prior
knowledge of the inaccuracy of the statement or a reckless disregard
for the truth."

The record of theos-talk archives, the evidence in my books
themselves, and testimony of everyone who knew me during the time I
was researching and writing about HPB shows the accusations made
about my motives to be inaccurate. The record also shows that its
inaccuracy has been repeatedly made clear by myself and others to the
accuser. Therefore the repetition of the accusation is now done both
with prior knowledge of its inaccuracy AND reckless disregard for the
truth.
