Product Description

Hillary's Secret War is the true story of how a group of renegade journalists fought to expose America's darkest scandals through the Internet-and how the most powerful woman in the world tried to stop them.

From her own "war room" in the White House, Hillary Clinton commanded a secret police operation dedicated to silencing dissent, muzzling media critics, intimidating political foes, whitewashing Clinton scandals, and obstructing justice. Hillary's operatives infiltrated every level of the news media, federal law enforcement, intelligence agencies, and the federal court system.

They looked upon the "unregulated" datastream of cyberspace as a threat to their power, potentially devastating in its ability to bypass the controlled, corporate media. For that reason, Hillary's secret police persecuted Internet dissidents with special ferocity.

Mainstream news media spiked the story of Hillary's secret war-and of the scandals she sought to conceal. But the courageous new journalists of the Internet underground defied the odds and exposed the shocking truth about history's most corrupt presidency. This is their story.

Written with all the drama and tension of a gripping novel, this carefully researched book gives the inside story of how these modern-day patriots endured Hillary's attacks, and emerged from the battlefield to become a sprawling, innovative news source reaching tens of millions each day. Hillary's Secret War presents a tale of dogged courage and sacrifice, one of the greatest untold stories in the annals of journalism.

"Hillary's Shadow Team," says Poe, "will no doubt play a crucial role in smoothing the way for her planned return to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Likewise, the Internet will figure prominently in the effort to stop her."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_triad
Excerpt:
The Dark Triad is a group of three personality traits -- narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy -- all of which are interpersonally aversive.

[edit] Introduction

The Dark Triad refers to three theoretically-distinct but empirically overlapping personality constructs.^[1]. The term reflects the perception that these three diagnostic categories, have at least some common underlying factors:

The narcissistic personality (in the clinical sense) is characterized by a grandiose self-view, a sense of entitlement, lack of empathy, and self-centered egotist. On some theories, such as Kohut, it is associated with protection of a radically weak, shamed, or damaged self.

The Machiavellian personality is characterized by manipulation and exploitation of others, with a cynical disregard for morality and a focus on self-interest and deception (Jakpbwitz and Egan, p. 332).

The psychopath, or Antisocial personality, is characterized by impulsive thrill-seeking, and in its "primary" form by selfishness, callousness, lack of personal affect, superficial charm, and remorselessness.

All three characters involve a callous-manipulative interpersonal style^[2], and are considered aversive. Jakobwitz and Egan carried out a factor analysis and found "Agreeableness" strongly dissociated with all dark triad personality types, but other factors (neruoticism, lack of conscientiousness) were associated only with some members of the triad.
It has also been argued that narcissists aggress when insulted whereas psychopaths aggress when threatened.^[3], and that Machiavellian students cheat by plagiarizing essays whereas psychopaths impulsively copy other students' answers during exams.^[4]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factor_analysis
Excerpt:
Factor analysis is a statistical method used to describe variability among observed variables in terms of a potentially lower number of unobserved variables called factors. In other words, it is possible, for example, that variations in three or four observed variables mainly reflect the variations in fewer such unobserved variables. Factor analysis searches for such joint variations in response to unobserved latent variables. The observed variables are modeled as linear combinations of the potential factors, plus "error" terms. The information gained about the interdependencies between observed variables can be used later to reduce the set of variables in a dataset. Factor analysis originated in psychometrics, and is used in behavioral sciences, social sciences, marketing, product management, operations research, and other applied sciences that deal with large quantities of data.

According to recent studies, good guys really do finish last.

By Tara Kyle

Sure, women say they just want a nice guy—someone selfless, stable and funny. But there’s a reason sax-playing, pot-smoking Bill Clinton bagged more chicks than Earth-loving Al Gore. And now, in countries from Latvia and Lebanon to Canada and Korea, science is backing up one of our longest-held stereotypes about masculinity.
Men who exhibit a “dark triad” of personality traits—which includes narcissism, psychopathy and Machiavellianism (a tendency to be cunning, deceitful and dishonest)—not only get the most women, they also are the most successful at stealing other guys’ girls.
At least that’s the preliminary finding of a major study presented last month by David Schmitt of Bradley University at the Human Behavior and Evolution Society meeting in Kyoto, Japan. With the help of a global team of researchers, Schmitt surveyed over 35,000 people in 57 countries.
To determine what makes a boy bad, Schmitt’s study measured three core qualities within a normal range, asking participants if they agree with statements like, “I think I’m a special person,” “it is wise to flatter important people” and “I enjoy driving at high speeds.”
And while it’s not a good idea to be totally evil, the results show that being a bit more self-loving, cunning and risk-taking than the average Joe, Jose or Yousif may help get you more girls just about anywhere on the globe.
Schmitt’s results are supported by the independent findings of another new study, in which Peter Jonason of New Mexico State University at Las Cruces gave personality tests to over 200 college students.
Many people assume that genetics and evolution dictate that men want many partners, while women prefer monogamy. But according to Schmitt, “that’s not what evolutionary psychologists think now.”
The contemporary view is that both sexes seek different kinds of relationships—pair bonding, short-term involvements or some combination of the two—at different points in their lives.

The darkness of America blinded his sight
Baptized in the blood of our national sin
The Ghosts of the Conquest rise again and again
