Download or read book Ultimate Deceit written by Piper Varsi and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-02-03 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ultimate Deceit is a series of true accounts experienced by the author that takes the reader into a deeper mind-bending world of incredible occurrences. It presents factual events that involve interaction by EBEs (extra biological entities) with human beings—events that even today have been suppressed by world governments and just lately partially disclosed by the US Navy. Read about the author’s own experiences related to her own medical examinations, implants, and other experimentation conducted in her organs by other beings! Lately, the Pentagon, through the Defense Department, confirmed that photographs and videos by the military of unidentified aerial phenomena were indeed legitimate images of unexplained objects maneuvering in the skies and seas of our planet. While the author’s own experiences were with discoid-type craft, there are many other shapes mentioned in this book, like spheres, cylinders, triangles, and so on, all describing a dazzling array of face-to-face encounters, abductions, sightings, and landings. The author presents undeniable proof that shows carvings and drawings from ancient civilizations that existed thousands of years ago (and that perhaps were even more advanced than ours today) and which depict advanced technologies like flying aircraft, plus figures of humanoid beings, proof literally written in stone! After reading Ultimate Deceit and examining the evidence exposed in the book, readers may be shocked, especially when they reach conclusions and the acceptance of the fact that we are not alone in the universe—for example, considering the scientific Drake equation (ref. the SETI Institute), which is as follows: N = R * fp * ne * fl * fi * fc * L Where N = the number of broadcasting civilizations R = average rate of formation of suitable stars (stars/year) in the Milky Way galaxy fp = fraction of stars that form planets ne = average number of habitable planets per star fl = fraction of habitable planets (ne) where life emerges fi = fraction of habitable planets with life where intelligent evolves fc = fraction of planets with intelligent life capable of interstellar communication L = years a civilization remains detectable

Download or read book The Epistemology of Deceit in a Postdigital Era written by Alison MacKenzie and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book collection offers strong theoretical and philosophical insight into how digital platforms and their constituent algorithms interact with belief systems to achieve deception, and how related vices such as lies, bullshit, misinformation, disinformation, and ignorance contribute to deception. This inter-disciplinary collection explores how we can better understand and respond to these problematic practices. The Epistemology of Deceit in a Postdigital Era: Dupery by Design will be of interest to anyone concerned with deception in a ‘postdigital’ era including fake news, and propaganda online. The election of populist governments across the world has raised concerns that fake news in online platforms is undermining the legitimacy of the press, the democratic process, and the authority of sources such as science, the social sciences and qualified experts. The global reach of Google, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and other platforms has shown that they can be used to create and spread fake and misleading news quickly and without control. These platforms operate and thrive in an increasingly balkanised media eco-system where networks of users will predominantly access and consume information that conforms to their existing worldviews. Conflicting positions, even if relevant and authoritative, are suppressed, or overlooked in everyday digital information consumption. Digital platforms have contributed to the prolific spread of false information, enabled ignorance in online news consumers, and fostered confusion over determining fact from fiction. The collection explores: Deception, what it is, and how its proliferation is achieved in online platforms. Truth and the appearance of truth, and the role digital technologies play in pretending to represent truth. How we can counter these vices to protect ourselves and our institutions from their potentially baneful effects.
