Lauren,
I burst out laughing when I read your comment... until I realized that this was in fact slander. I assume that you believe that I have some sort of interest... such as economic... ie being a paid agent of some agency... to spread lies and confuse people. That sort of unfounded accusation is intolerable.
Nothing could be further from the truth, though I have been accused of being a cognitive inflitrator and a shill for the government and as you claim a *dis info agent*. That's goes beyond insult to defamation and slander.
I provided a link to a book for readers to look into. And for so doing you have slandered me.
Please be advised that this will not be tolerated. I strongly suggest that you retract this statement and that the moderators of this forum consider sanctioning those who slander others on Deep Politics.
I don't your qualifications or background. But others here know that I am a NYS licensed architect with 30 years of practice. My reputation is important to me and your remarks will not be taken lightly. As you apparently don't know much about physics or engineering... here is a reference on slander and defamation.
"Defamationalso called calumny, vilification, traducement, slander (for transitory statements), and libel (for written, broadcast, or otherwise published words)is the communication of a statement that makes a claim, expressly stated or implied to be factual, that may give an individual, business, product, group, government, or nation a negative image. This can be also any disparaging statement made by one person about another, which is communicated or published, whether true or false, depending on legal state. In Common Law it is usually a requirement that this claim be false and that the publication is communicated to someone other than the person defamed (the claimant).[SUP][1][/SUP]
In common law jurisdictions, slander refers to a malicious, false,[SUP][2][/SUP][SUP][not specific enough to verify][/SUP] and defamatory spoken statement or report, while libel refers to any other form of communication such as written words or images.[SUP][3][/SUP] Most jurisdictions allow legal actions, civil and/or criminal, to deter various kinds of defamation and retaliate against groundless criticism. Related to defamation is public disclosure of private facts, which arises where one person reveals information that is not of public concern, and the release of which would offend a reasonable person. "Unlike [with] libel, truth is not a defense for invasion of privacy."[SUP][4][/SUP][SUP][not verified in body][/SUP]
False light laws are "intended primarily to protect the plaintiff's mental or emotional well-being."[SUP][5][/SUP] If a publication of information is false, then a tort of defamation might have occurred. If that communication is not technically false but is still misleading, then a tort of false light might have occurred.[SUP][5][/SUP]
In some civil law jurisdictions, defamation is dealt with as a crime rather than a tort.[SUP][6][/SUP] The United Nations Commission on Human Rights ruled in 2012 that the criminalization of libel violates Freedom of expression and is inconsistent with Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.[SUP][7][/SUP]
A person who harms another's reputation may be referred to as a "famacide", "defamer", or "slanderer". The Latin phrase famosus libellus means a libelous writing."
You have been put on notice. A word to the wise is sufficient.
