		<description><![CDATA[hence the proverb: a liar needs a good memory.

liars like to use the concept of truth to mask their activities. thus we have the notion of a &lt;i&gt;half-truth&lt;/i&gt; which, in fact, is simply a particular species of lie. 

and likewise the phrase &#039;i was economical with the truth&#039; used, to general hilarity, by Thatcher&#039;s henchman Sir Robert Armstrong in 1986.

this was sheer hypocrisy, yet lapped up by the British public, now in its dotage, having been softened up by the apologetic comedy series &lt;i&gt;Yes, Prime Minister&lt;/i&gt; which, with its sugar-coating cosy self-satisfied sentimentality, was one of the more sinister uses of comedy to disarm critics of pseudo-government.

it is widely assumed that this real-life Sir Humphrey invented the phrase himself (HMG mandarins all have an IQ of 199, and can do the Times crossword in 35 seconds whilst boiling an egg and writing a ministerial brief - all of this effortlessly accomplished on the cycle journey to Westminster) 

in fact we owe the phrase to Edmund Burke, who wrote:

&lt;i&gt;Falsehood and delusion are allowed in no case whatever: but, as in the exercise of all the virtues, there is an economy of truth. It is a sort of temperance, by which a man speaks truth with measure that he may speak it the longer.&lt;/i&gt;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;The Virgin birth.
The Chosen people.
The Resurrection of the dead.
The Free Market.&quot;

Logic dictates that between true and false there are no alternatives and no shades: one can&#039;t be somewhat pregnant. 
But I argue that whereas &quot;truth&quot; can only be &quot;true,&quot; there are different categories of lies, one of which can be described as associated with &quot;aggravating circumstances.&quot;

In the examples above one can argue that the first 3 are simply not true. The fourth, however is an Orwelian lie (&quot;war is peace&quot;). It misidentifies something as its opposite.
There IS such a thing as free market, but it is not the rigged game so labeled nowadays, just as there is such a thing as democracy but &quot;israel is a democracy&quot; is an Orwellian lie, a lie with aggravating circumstances.
Truth is one. A lie has many faces.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[just about sums it up, Frank. 

in fairness to the peoples of the world, we should perhaps be careful in using words like &lt;i&gt;USA&lt;/i&gt; or &lt;i&gt;Britain&lt;/i&gt; as the names of geopolitical &lt;i&gt;agents&lt;/i&gt;. when we say &quot;&lt;i&gt;Britain&lt;/i&gt;is putting pressure on the X &lt;i&gt;regime&lt;/i&gt; we mean &lt;i&gt;the small self-serving clique of parasites who control the British government, press, banking system, armed forces, &lt;/i&gt;...&quot;. 

it is true that a great number of sheeple is swept along in the dumbed-down ideological wake of their cunning, venal and mendacious &lt;i&gt;masters&lt;/i&gt;, but being a dupe is a far slighter crime than mass murder.]]></description>
