LAW 14

POSE AS A FRIEND WORK AS A SPY

The title speaks for itself. This is what people do. At times this will be what you are to do. You best believe, this is what many people do regardless. America is not one of the nicest places when it comes to friendship. You know, when I was in Haiti, the first time, I stayed at this Hotel called Hotel IBO LeLe. Now coming from where I first landed in Haiti I was in paradise. Anyway, I met this girl at the hotel, who dated someone from the states who rent her a room there months at a time. I was in apartment five, because at the time I had my kids with me so I needed to have a kitchen and living room area. Well, to get to the point, one day this girl says, lets go to where I live so you can meet my parents. Boy, let me tell you. I was in for a shock. She brought me some where that was like the commercials I see on tv. Not nice. Real poor. Imagine my culture shock. Who would have thought, I thought she was like me, you know. Anyway, my point is this, when the neighborhood found out that she had a friend from the States coming to visit, as we were going through the town she lives in, people starting bringing stuff to her moms house. Coffee. Bread. Food. Water. It was crazy. It was beautiful. It reminded me of when they use to say in America it takes a neighborhood to raise a child. That whole neighborhood welcomed me. I felt like a star. Let me tell you. Again, my point is for you to through all that out the window here. In America, you can go to someone's house and they don't even offer you to come in, if you came unannounced, they might not offer you water, if you wanted something to drink.

Friend here, all that we went to school together, we're friends till the end, ha. Believe here in America you are lucky to have 5 good friends in your life time. Life time. Believe that. 5 good friends in a life time. All the rest, will be people who might be like this category, friends posing as spies.

Beware. But we are about to get you ready with what to look for. First of all, they will try to learn your habits, tastes, and phobias. If they can't get close to you, they will find someone who can to give them the information. People will try to find common interests with you, so that they can have something to talk to you about something in common. That will open the door for them.

You know, people with money, when they want to get the competition, they secretly put people from their targets on their payroll, so they can get valuable information. You know, comings, goings, changes in taste, anything that can keep them a step ahead. The reason this plays to yours or their advantage is because it allows you the opportunity to become a piece of the wood work. Piece of the wood work is when every where they are you are. You start blending in their social environment. This puts you in a position to begin to have knowledge on your mark. And you will be able to begin to anticipate their desires.

When looking for power, you must remember that one of your goals is the ability to control future events. People will not tell you what they are thinking, how they feel or what their plans are. You know for a fact you wouldn't tell anyone your weaknesses, ulterior motives or obsessions. The easiest way is really to have someone close to the person to do the spying. Most of the time, that is what they will do or you should do, get a friend, a family member.

Look out. Betrayal is on the rise. That's America. I'm not saying that is doesn't happen anywhere else, I know for a fact it happens here. And these are some of the tools that they will use.

Be careful also because, if you use a spy, that very spy can also betray you and tell on you. At times if you can get a person to just talk, they will tell a lot. Some will tell it all. But you don't tell. Don't tell of your ideas.

"If you have reason to suspect that a person is telling you a lie, look as though you believed every word he said. This will give you courage to go on; he will become more vehement in his assertions, and in the end betray himself. Again, if you perceive that a person is trying to conceal something from you, but with only partial success, look as though you did not believe him. The opposition on your part will provoke him into leading out his reserve of truth and bringing the whole force of it to bear upon your incredulity. Arthur Achopenhauer 1788-1860

Sometimes a false confession you make will get the next man to make a true confession about themselves.

Information is critical. Information is power. Churchill said, "Truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies."

It's like that sometimes. Lies, even though its not right sometimes, most of the times, this/these are what you will encounter.

People will lie to you.

People will try and set you up.

Your family may betray you. Your friends are more than likely to betray you.

Look out. Spies lie besides you. Spies, lie within you. Spies are around you.
