In a world awash with information and rampant with misinformation, it has become increasingly difficult to separate truth from fiction. Hoaxes, deliberate fabrications designed to deceive, have become a pervasive threat, undermining trust, polarizing societies, and even inciting violence. This groundbreaking book, Behind the Smoke and Mirrors, provides a comprehensive guide to understanding and countering hoaxes. Drawing upon the latest research in psychology, behavioral science, and media studies, this book unveils the inner workings of hoaxes, exposing the motivations of deceivers, the tactics they employ, and the devastating impacts they can have. Through a series of thought-provoking chapters, Behind the Smoke and Mirrors equips readers with the tools and knowledge they need to navigate the treacherous landscape of hoaxes. It delves into the psychology of deception, explaining why people fall prey to hoaxes and how to recognize the warning signs. It examines the techniques used by hoaxers to manipulate emotions, exploit cognitive biases, and spread their false narratives. But this book goes beyond mere exposure. It empowers readers with actionable strategies for countering hoaxes, both online and offline. It provides a practical framework for evaluating claims, identifying red flags, and engaging in constructive dialogue with those who have fallen for deception. Behind the Smoke and Mirrors is an essential guide for anyone concerned about the spread of misinformation and its potential consequences. It is a call to action, urging readers to become vigilant guardians of truth in an era where deception has become increasingly sophisticated and dangerous.

This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2015. The topic of deception is an area of study that has fascinated researchers and readers alike for generations.

The pervasive nature of deception and deceit, permeating all facets of life from the annals of history to the present day, means that it is an area of research that benefits substantially from an approach that crosses conventional academic and research boundaries. This collection represents an interdisciplinary exploration of the concept of deception, expanding the readers’ awareness and understanding of a range of areas including the portrayal of deception in literature and spy fiction, the existence and success of literary hoaxes, deception and illusion in visual art, and the use of deception in both strategic and interpersonal contexts.

This Book (Chapter 3: the Lost Years) is based on my experiences while living in OPPRESSION during the beginning of the new millennium. This Book could be much larger in size although I have left out many a shocking experience. Such experiences entail the following :: beatings of patients, patients fighting staff and/or patients (including myself), patients getting THE NEEDLE or THE BOX and staff retaliation against patients (including myself). Not to say all was bad, there were some good times, especially toward the end. The cover of the book (9 nines falling from a dark cloud) onto a landscape with nine lonely trees signifies the 9 years and 9 months of the OPPRESSION. The Poems in this Book are mostly serious, sometimes funny and many times with a punch-line at the end. The Poems give one a hint, via a Year by Year (9 Years and 9 months) accounting of what is was like to live in Oppression in New York State , USA. Many Poems are Imagery Poems, Rhyme Poems, Name Poems and my own flavors.

This book details the Soviet Military Liaison Mission (SMLM) in West Germany and the U.S. Military Liaison Mission (USMLM) in East Germany as microcosms of the Cold War strategic intelligence and counterintelligence landscape. Thirty years since the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Soviet and U.S. Military Liaison Missions are all but forgotten. Their operation was established by a post-WWII Allied occupation forces' agreement, and missions had relative freedom to travel and collect intelligence throughout East and West Germany from 1947 until 1990. This book addresses Cold War intelligence and counterintelligence in a manner that provides a broad historical perspective and then brings the reader to a never-before documented artifact of Cold War history. The book details the intelligence/counterintelligence dynamic that was among the most emblematic of the Cold War. Ultimately, the book addresses a saga that remains one of the true Cold War enigmas.

Orthodox Christology maintains that Jesus Christ is both truly God and truly human. As such, he is the key to knowing both God and self. In a series of applications of christological anthropology, Mirrors of Self develops this epistemic premise in dialogue with a diversity of Christian and secular, historical and modern perspectives. Aspects of human personhood, including the ever-elusive self, gain greater clarity and significance in the light of Christ's person and work. At the center of individual human subjectivity, we encounter a broken, sin-blinded self in need of renewal and release. What healing we find comes to us as Christ's ecological presence works in and through others--the mirrors of self whose instrumental agency Christ employs in service to his own redemptive ends.

For over forty years Kurt Philip Behm has lived within the magic of the Perpetual Present. It has inspired all of his writing, and has allowed him to both see and write about the truth contained within every moment. Once acknowledging this truth within himself and accepting its presence, he started an inward journey that time, and its deceptive handmaidens, the past and future, would have only denied. His message is to live not only for today, but this very moment, knowing that this moment is all that we have, have had, or will ever have again. Living within the magic of its Perpetual Present will then free our souls, guiding us on a path toward becoming all that we were truly meant to be.

A fascinating account of the use and meaning of visual and spatial distortions in seventeenth-century art and architecture During the Catholic Reformation, patrons, artists, architects, and viewers, especially in Rome, were strongly drawn to visual and spatial distortions or “deformations”—works of art and architecture that were designed to be visually incomprehensible, at least initially. From Borromini’s San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane in Rome to the attention-grabbing prospettiva in the city’s Palazzo Spada and the anamorphoses that define the corridors and walls of Minim and Jesuit buildings, The Deformation explores what this intriguing phenomenon reveals about contemporary religious belief, optics, and the natural sciences, as well as wider questions about attention and discernment. Failing to conform to an established ideal, deformations required a “reformation” to achieve that ideal. Anamorphic deformations, for example, could only be reformed into clarity when viewed from a particular angle or through a special mirror. Susanna Berger examines how deformations were experienced by beholders, and how they were embraced or opposed by critics. The book shows how deformations and related works—whether altar tabernacles, ephemeral religious architecture, churches, monumental sundials, colonnades with accelerated perspective, illusionistic frescoes, turned ivories, or painted anamorphoses—focused observers’ attention on theological mysteries and the social power and sophistication of patrons. The book’s rich illustrations include two gatefolds and some anamorphic images that can be seen without distortion by using an included reflective insert as a mirror. Looking at writings as well as visual works in multiple artistic media not typically considered in relation to each other, The Deformation offers a new interpretation of deformation that highlights the delay between perception and discernment.

Decision makers matching wits with an adversary want intelligence—good, relevant information to help them win. Intelligence can gain these advantages through directed research and analysis, agile collection, and the timely use of guile and theft. Counterintelligence is the art and practice of defeating these endeavors. Its purpose is the same as that of positive intelligence—to gain advantage—but it does so by exploiting, disrupting, denying, or manipulating the intelligence activities of others. The tools of counterintelligence include security systems, deception, and disguise: vaults, mirrors, and masks. In one indispensable volume, top practitioners and scholars in the field explain the importance of counterintelligence today and explore the causes of—and practical solutions for—U.S. counterintelligence weaknesses. These experts stress the importance of developing a sound strategic vision in order to improve U.S. counterintelligence and emphasize the challenges posed by technological change, confused purposes, political culture, and bureaucratic rigidity. Vaults, Mirrors, and Masks skillfully reveals that robust counterintelligence is vital to ensuring America's security.
