I don't know how this leaked out.
I swear.
1:04:04
NASA's been getting calls from
every tabloid in the country...
1:04:08
...asking me to verify that story.
1:04:11
Why can't we verify the story?
1:04:13
- Why?
- Yeah.
1:04:15
Because STS-200 is a delicate,

[3F17] Bart on the Road
Original Airdate in N.A.: 31-Mar-96
The next day, the boys reach the Tennessee border. "Next stop, the Knoxville World's Fair", Milhouse says, "and its fabulous SunSphere." Soon, the SunSphere looms over the horizon. At last, our heroes have arrived. The boys fan out over the fairgrounds, which look like they have seen better days. Unfortunately, the place is a wreck, and any sign of a Fair is nowhere to be seen. Seeing a wig store nearby, Bart talks to the man out front. "Is this the World's Fair visitors center?" Unfortunately, the foursome have fallen prey to the outdated AAA guidebook -- 14 years outdated, in fact. They also discover that the Sunsphere is now the Wigsphere. Then the man asks if the boys are gonna buy some wigs...
The boys -- newly be-wigged -- sit at the curb to consider recent events. Bart takes solace in the fact that they still have the car and the wad of cash, but Martin spent the last ten dollars on a talking Al Gore doll. ("You are hearing me talk...") Nelson, angrily, throws a rock at the Sunsphere, which topples, and crushes their car.
Bart: We got no car!
Martin: We got no money!
Milhouse: And no one knows we're here!
B+Ma+Mi: We're stranded!
Nelson: But on the plus side, I knocked over the SunSphere.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabula_rasa
Tabula rasa (Latin: blank slate) refers to the epistemological thesis that individual human beings are born with no innate or built-in mental content, in a word, "blank", and that their entire resource of knowledge is built up gradually from their experiences and sensory perceptions of the outside world.
In Western philosophy, traces of the idea that came to be called the tabula rasa appear as early as the writings of Aristotle:
What the mind thinks must be in it in the same sense as letters are on a tablet (grammateion) which bears no actual writing (grammenon); this is just what happens in the case of the mind. (Aristotle, On the Soul, 3.4.430a1).
Aristotle writes of the unscribed tablet in what is probably the first textbook of psychology in the Western canon, his treatise (De Anima or On the Soul). However, besides some arguments by the Stoics and Peripatetics, the Aristotelian notion of the mind as a blank slate went much unnoticed for more than 1,000 years.
But the human intellect, which is the lowest in the order of intellects and the most removed from the perfection of the Divine intellect, is in potency with regard to things intelligible, and is at first "like a clean tablet on which nothing is written", as the Philosopher [Aristotle] says. (Aquinas, Summa Theologica 1.79.2).
Tabula Rasa is also featured in Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis. Freud depicted personality traits as being formed by family dynamics (see Oedipus complex, etc.). Freud's theories show that one can downplay genetic and congenital influences on human personality without advocating free will. In psychosanalysis, one is largely determined by one's upbringing.
The tabula rasa concept became popular in social sciences in the 20th century. Eugenics (mainstream in the late 19th and early 20th centuries) came to be seen not as a sound policy but as a crime. The idea that genes (or simply "blood") determined character took on racist overtones. By the 1970s, some scientists had come to see gender identity as socially constructed rather than rooted in genetics (see John Money), a concept still current (see Anne Fausto-Sterling). This swing of the pendulum accompanied suspicion of innate differences in general (see racism) and a propensity to "manage" society, where the real power must be if people are born blank.[original research?]
In the last few decades, twin studies, studies of adopted children, and the David Reimer case have demonstrated genetic influence on (if not strict determination of) personal characteristics, such as IQ, alcoholism, gender identity, and other traits.
The theory of tabula rasa is contradicted in William Golding's novel, Lord of the Flies. Golding wrote the book in hope of proving that all humans are born with an innate evil, and it is the job of humans to contain that evil.

Among a series of scenes just before I awoke just now, I might have been thinking details that associate with her. I have been thinking in the past few minutes since awaking from an extended nap that she was on the U.S. Navy ship, as a U.S. Naval Academy Midshipman, along with Michelle Howard, that rescued me from the ocean on 8/19/1981. I don't know though. I don't know what it means.

What seems to be the last dream I had just before waking up...has faded more now after I wrote that last part. It was something about Michelle Howard but I cannot now remember what was the point I wanted to make, other than what I have written before. I have been thinking again that Michelle Howard was on a U.S. Navy destroyed that extracted me from the Med after I had been shot down by anti-aircraft fire, I guess on 8/19/1981.
JOURNAL ARCHIVE: 04/19/08 2:15 PM
A lot of people who know me in my true identity would have asked the same question if they saw me in a flight suit at any time. So I don't think that scene was specifically about Michelle Howard's reaction to seeing me extracted from the ocean in 1981. I think it is more, if relevant to me in the first place, is more of a general representation of that notion I have been writing about of how even the people who know me very well, such as my wife, her family, and my family, do not know much about my secret military identity, which is by design.

I have seen photos of Midshipmen in U.S. Navy jet aircraft but that particular set I am trying to find is different from all the other because that midshipman was the pilot of the jet aircraft and I have not seen any other navy.mil or dodmedia photos of a Midshipman as the pilot.

Remarks on Board the U.S.S. Constellation off the Coast of California
August 20th, 1981
[The President arrived at the U.S.S. Constellation via Marine One at approximately 10:50 a.m. He was met by Capt. Dennis M. Brooks, Commanding Officer, and Capt. William Carlson, Chief of Staff, Carrier Group Seven.
The President, escorted by Captain Brooks, proceeded to the flag bridge where he was presented with a U.S.S. Constellation jacket and cap. He then entered the navigation bridge and spoke to the crew via the ship's public address system at approximately 11:02 a.m. His remarks follow.]
Remarks to the Crew of the U.S.S. Constellation
Captain Brooks and crew of the Constellation, thank you for extending me this opportunity. This ship represents a powerful force in an uncertain world, and we all sleep a little better at night knowing that you're on duty. Everything we as Americans hold dear is safer because of what all of you are doing. I'd like to especially greet those who will be in the air department, the combat direction center, in engineering and communication later on. Although you won't be with us later, you're certainly not forgotten.
The engineering unit, I understand, faces a major recertification examination tomorrow, and a September readiness evaluation is also rapidly approaching. These are two of the major challenges for which you've been preparing, so can I just express my confidence that you're going to come through with flying colors?
So, for those who will be standing watch, my very best wishes. For the rest of the officers and crew, I look forward to meeting you and getting to know more about the job that you're doing. After all, this is quite an experience for an ex-horse cavalryman. So, I wish all aboard "a good Connie day."
[Following his remarks, the President proceeded to the auxiliary conning station to view a demonstration refueling operation. When the U.S.S. Fletcher came alongside the aircraft carrier, the President spoke to the crew of the destroyer at approximately 11:15 a.m., via the Constellation's public address system. His remarks follow. ]
Remarks to the Crew of the U.S.S. Fletcher
Officers and men of the Fletcher, it's my privilege and I'm greatly honored to have this opportunity to say hello to you but also to tell you how grateful all of us are for all that you're doing. We are truly grateful. I have just finished telling the crew here of the Constellation that this is really kind of an earth-shattering experience for me, since my military experience was as a horse cavalryman. This is somewhat different.
But, we are proud of all of you, and while there may be some people who think that the uniform is associated with violence, you are the peacemakers. It's because of what you're doing that we can be sure of peace.
So, again, thank you for giving me this opportunity to greet you and to tell you how proud we are.
[At this point, the President toured the navigation bridge, stopping briefly to take the helm. He then hem an informal question-and-answer session with reporters at approximately 11:30 a.m. The excerpts included in the White House press release follow.]
Question-and-Answer Session on the Downing of Libyan Planes by U.S. Pilots
Q. Mr. President, why did we have to conduct training exercises so close to Libya?
The President. It is an area in which we have conducted training exercises rather regularly—not only us but others. And Libya has created an artificial line, claiming waters that are actually international waters. And we just felt that we gave the routine notice that is always given for such maneuvers, and we conducted those maneuvers on the basis of what are international waters and not that artificial line that had been created. This foray by the Libyans was nothing new. Over the last couple of years, they have frequently harassed our aircraft out beyond that line in the Mediterranean; French aircraft. There have even been incidents of threats of fire, and we decided it was time to recognize what are the international waters and behave accordingly.
Q. But why did we feel we had to challenge them at this particular time?
The President. We didn't challenge them. This was the scheduled time for the maneuvers. We've been holding them every year and in that area. And this time we didn't restrict ourselves on the basis of what, as I say, is an artificial line. We utilized the international waters there for the training exercise.
Q. Are you trying to destabilize Qadhafi's government, Mr. President?
The President. No. We responded as we will respond anywhere when any of our forces are attacked. They're going to defend themselves.
Q. Mr. President?
The President. Yes.
Q. There is some feeling that perhaps your aides should have awakened you earlier, because most of the country knew about the incident before you did.
The President. Well, no, there was no-everything was going forward and everything that had to be done—and there was no decision to be made or they would have. They would have awakened me if there had been a decision. But it was—the incident had taken place; there was no other reason, so they waited to call me when they had all the full information.
Q. Do you think that was right?
The President. What?
Q. Do you think that was proper?
The President. Yes. Yes.
Q. As you sit here in the bridge of this ship, what do you think the message should be from yesterday's event and your appearance here today?
The President. Well, that we're determined, that we are going to close that window of vulnerability that has existed for some time with regard to our defensive capability.
Q. Sir, your message wasn't just to the Libyans, but the Soviets as well?
The President. The message to the Libyans was brought on by the Libyans. We didn't go there to shoot down a couple of Libyan planes. They came out and fired on ours when we were holding maneuvers, and which everyone had been notified, all of our allies. All of the countries there in the area had been notified that we were going to hold those maneuvers, which we do every year in that same place.
Q. You wouldn't be sorry to see Qadhafi fall, would you?
The President. Well, I would think that diplomacy would have me not answer that question.
Q. We're a little confused as to whether you deliberately ordered a test of Qadhafi's challenge.
The President. No, the maneuvers have been planned for a long time.
Q. So, there was no deliberate—
The President. No. We were, as I say, faced with the knowledge that you could not go on recognizing this violation of international waters and that we were going to plan our maneuvers as we would have planned them without that rule, without his artificial line.
Now, if I could call to your attention that periodically we send some ships into the Black Sea just for the same reason, just as the Soviet Union sends ships into the Caribbean, to assure that everyone is observing international waters and the rules pertaining to them.
Q. But it sounds like you're saying, no, it wasn't a test, but you aren't sorry you've bloodied Qadhafi's nose.
The President. This is a rule that has to be followed. If our men are fired on, they're going to fire.
[Following the question-and-answer session, the President viewed an aircraft launch and recovery exercise from the navigation bridge and then went to the flight deck to watch a weapons training exercise. He then had lunch with enlisted personnel in the mess.
Following lunch, the President proceeded to the hangar deck for a reenlistment ceremony. Adm. James D. Watkins, Chief of Staff, Pacific Fleet, administered the oath, and the President congratulated the reenlisted men individually as they crossed the dais.
Captain Brooks then presented the President with several mementos of his visit to the ship and introduced the President, who addressed the crew at approximately 1:25 p.m. as follows. ]
Remarks to Crew and Signing of John Barry Day Resolution
Thank you all very much for this warm hospitality and this greeting. Admiral Watkins, Captain Brooks, the officers and men of the Constellation:
You know, Presidents are permitted to experience a great many things, but I can assure you, this day will be long remembered as a most special experience that I have had. It is my first time to ever be on a carrier. As I told many of you on the horn this morning when I arrived, I'm an old exhorse cavalry man. But then I'll remind you that there was an admiral of the Navy that rode a horse into Tokyo at the end of World War II, so maybe we have something in common.
But this ship, what I've seen today and the officers and crew, you all make me very proud to be able to say I'm the Commander in Chief of all of you. The demonstration of firepower and efficiency by the air wing was impressive, but what's most important, it is also impressive to the enemies of freedom in the world. And we had an example of that just night before last on the carrier Nimitz.
But this carrier and its air wing represent the cutting edge of our naval power. It takes an extra bit of dedication to do this job. I know it's rough. It's rough on you, rough on your families, but it's never been more necessary at any time in our history than it is right now. Without someone willing to put in the long hours, willing to suffer the frustrations, willing to risk the dangers, our country wouldn't be sure of continued peace and freedom. There's no greater gift that you can give to your family, your community, or your country than the protection that you afford all of them by this job that you're doing.

Proclamation 4853—Commodore John Barry Day
August 20th, 1981
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Commodore John Barry, hero of the American Revolution and holder of the first commission in the United States Navy under the Constitution, was born in 1745, in County Wexford, Ireland. Commodore Barry was commissioned to command the brig Lexington, one of the first ships bought and equipped for the Revolution, and became a national hero with the engagement and capture of the British warship Edward on April 7, 1776. He distinguished himself throughout the Revolution and again shortly thereafter in the Quasi-War with France as a fighter and seaman.
In 1797, with the advice and consent of the Senate, President Washington appointed Commodore Barry Captain in the Navy of the United States and Commander of the Frigate United States. In so doing, the President said that he placed "special Trust and Confidence in (Commodore Barry's) Patriotism, Valour, Fidelity, and Abilities".
Commodore Barry was honored by the United States Congress in 1906, when a statue was commissioned and later placed in Lafayette Park, Washington, District of Columbia, and honored again some fifty years later when President Eisenhower caused a statue of Commodore Barry to be presented on behalf of the people of the United States to the people of Ireland, at County Wexford, Ireland.
Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate September 13, 1981, as "Commodore John Barry Day", as a tribute to one of the earliest and greatest American Patriots, a man of great insight who perceived very early the need for American power on the sea. I call upon Federal, state, and local government agencies and the people of the United States to observe such day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twentieth day of August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-one, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and sixth.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustin_family
The Mustin family has recorded a tradition of service in the United States Navy extending from 1896 to the present.
Often referred to as "The Father of Naval Aviation," Captain Henry C. Mustin,(1874-1923), an 1896 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, was the principal architect for the concept of the catapult launch. On November 5, 1915, while underway, he successfully flew an AB-2 flying boat off the stern of the USS North Carolina in Pennsacola Bay, FL, making the first ever recorded catapult launching from a ship underway. In 1899, he earned a commendation for distinguished service in the capture of Vigan, Philippines. The first operational missions of naval aircraft were flown under his command during the Veracruz operation in 1914 and he was the first to hold the title: Commander, Aircraft Squadrons, Pacific Fleet. Designated Naval Aviator Number Eleven, Captain Mustin was instrumental in the design of the Naval Aviator Insignia.
His son, Vice Admiral Lloyd Mustin, (1911-1999), a 1932 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, took part in developing the Navy's first lead-computing anti-aircraft gun sight, which proved of major importance in the air-sea actions of World War II, and served on the cruiser USS Atlanta (CL-51) during the naval battle of Guadalcanal. His ship was lost during that action; with other survivors he landed on Guadalcanal and served ashore with a naval unit attached to the 1st Marine Division. His post-war service included commands at sea and development and evaluation of weapon systems. He later served as director of operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Vice Admiral Mustin's two sons, retired Navy Vice Admiral Henry C. Mustin and Lieutenant Commander Thomas M. Mustin have continued their family's tradition of military service. Vice Admiral Mustin, a 1955 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, is a decorated Vietnam veteran who served in the 1980s as the Naval Inspector General, Commander, Second Fleet and Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Plans and Policy. Lieutenant Commander Mustin, also a Naval Academy graduate (1962) earned a Bronze Star during the Vietnam conflict for river patrol combat action.
Additionally, Vice Admiral Henry C. Mustin's sons, Captain Lloyd Mustin, II and Commander John Mustin both continue serve in the Naval Reserves following an initial tour of active service. Commander John Mustin, a 1990 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, returned to active duty service as the Commanding Officer of Inshore Boat Unit 22, deployed to Kuwait, from 2004-2005.
Several facilities have borne the name Mustin in honor of the Mustin family. These include two destroyers of the United States Navy named the USS Mustin, as well as the Mustin Beach Officers' Club and Mustin Hall (the Bachelor Officers' Quarters) aboard Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida. Additionally, the Henry C. Mustin Naval Air Facility was operational at the Philadelphia Navy Yard from 1926 to 1963.

JOURNAL ARCHIVE: Sunday, August 13, 2006
May 9th seems to be a divergence point in my journal. When I look back to my entries, I see that I am still perceiving the world through the eyes of Kerry Burgess. After May 9th, I am starting to question details about that identity. The first clue is when I started taking a closer look at all the places I lived during the 90's. I began to understand that I didn't actually live at those places, rather the addresses are symbolic of something else. My entire memory of Kerry Burgess's live is symbolic of Thomas Ray's life. Most of it is symbolism, some of it is there for continuity.
For instance, one of the clearest clues was where I remember living in 1990 after I remember leaving the Navy. I lived on a street named Wexford in a community named Taylors. Taylors was a familiar name because that was the name of my first ship, the USS Taylor. Then, around May 9th, a flash of inspiration hit me to look up the meaning behind the name of "Wexford." I knew even before I read the article that it had a special meaning. Wexford is the name of a town where John Barry was born. Barry is considered the father of the U.S. Navy.
Then it struck me again: D.D. and T.N. Those are the intials of my step-father and my mother. I have stopped believing they are real people. There may be actors who portrayed my family, but they are not really Denzil Draper and Thedia Newman. Anyway, I decided that the initials represent Defense Department and The Navy. I thought that was quite clever.
From 7/21/1969 ( I was Apollo 11 Eagle astronaut walking on Earth's moon ) to 2/28/1987 ( USS Kauffman FFG 59 commissioned into U.S. Navy active duty ) is: 6431 days
From 3/4/1959 ( my birth date UK ) to 10/11/1976 ( Public Law 94-479, General Of The Armies, approved by President Gerald Ford ) is: 6431 days
From 4/14/1977 ( I returned to Earth after successfully diverting comet in the outer solar system ) to 2/28/1987 ( USS Kauffman FFG 59 commissioned into U.S. Navy active duty ) is: 3607 days
3607 = 1 + 1803 + 1803
From 3/4/1959 ( my birth date UK ) to 2/9/1964 ( I was multiple Olympic gold medalist during Innsbruck Olympics ) is: 1803 days
From 10/9/1971 ( I am board-certified surgeon ) to 2/28/1987 ( USS Kauffman FFG 59 commissioned into U.S. Navy active duty ) is: 5621 days

Remarks of the Vice President [ established national traitor and agent of foreign power against the U.S. federal government George Bush ] Announcing the Winner of the Teacher in Space Project
July 19th, 1985
The Vice President. We're here today to announce the first private citizen passenger in the history of space flight. The President said last August that this passenger would be one of America's finest—a teacher. Well, since then, as we've heard, NASA, with the help of the heads of our State school systems, has searched the Nation for a teacher with "the right stuff." Really, there are thousands, thousands of teachers with the right stuff. And they're committed to quality in education; to teaching their students the basics—reading, writing, mathematics, science, literature, history—to teaching the foundations of our cultural heritage; to teaching the values that guide us as Americans; and to teaching that important, but difficult to obtain, quality—clarity of thought.
We're honoring all those teachers of merit today, and we're doing something else because the finalists here with me and the more than a hundred semifinalists will all in the months ahead serve, as Jim has said, as a link between NASA and the Nation's school system. These teachers have all received special NASA training to pass on to other teachers and to their students. And together they and NASA will be a part of an exciting partnership for quality in education.
So, let me tell you ow who our teacher in space will be. And let me say I thought I was a world traveler, but this tops anything I've tried. And first, the backup teacher, who will make the flight if the winner can't: Barbara Morgan of the McCall-Donnelly Elementary School in McCall, Idaho. Barbara has been a teacher for 11 years. She first taught on the Flathead Indian Reservation in Montana. She currently teaches second grade. Congratulations. And we have a little thing for you.
And the winner, the teacher who will be going into space: Christa McAuliffe. Where is—is that you? [Laughter] Christa teaches in Concord High School in Concord, New Hampshire. She teaches high school social studies. She's been teaching for 12 years. She plans to keep a journal of her experiences in space. She said that—and here's the quote—"Just as the pioneer travelers of the Conestoga wagon days kept personal journies [journals], I as a space traveler would do the same." Well, I'm personally looking forward to reading that journal some day.
And by the way, Christa, while you're in the program, Concord High obviously will need substitute teachers to fill in. And it's only right that we provide— [laughter] —one of these substitutes. So, the first class you miss, your substitute will be my dear friend and the President's, Bill Bennett, the Secretary of Education.
So, congratulations to all of you. Good luck, Christa, and God bless all of you. Thank you very much for coming. And you, too, get one of these.
Ms. McAuliffe. It's not often that a teacher is at a loss for words. I know my students wouldn't think so. I've made nine wonderful friends over the last 2 weeks. And when that shuttle goes, there might be one body, but there's going to be 10 souls that I'm taking with me.
Thank you.

Proclamation 5356—National P.O.W./M.I.A. Recognition Day, 1985
June 27th, 1985
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Since the Revolutionary War, America's men and women have made unselfish sacrifices to defend freedom. In each of America's wars, America's prisoners of war have faced extraordinary hardships and overcome them through extraordinary sacrifices. The bravery, suffering, and profound devotion to duty of our P.O.W.s and M.I.A.s have earned them a preeminent place in the hearts of all Americans. Their heroism is a beacon to follow forever. Their spirit of hope and commitment to the defense of freedom reflects the basic tenets of our Nation.
This country deeply appreciates the pain and suffering endured by families whose fathers, sons, husbands, or brothers are today still missing or unaccounted for. These families are an example of the strength and patriotism of all Americans. We as a people are united in supporting efforts to return the captive, recover the missing, resolve the accounting, and relieve the suffering of the families who wait. We accept our continuing obligation to these missing servicemen. Until the P.O.W./M.I.A. issue is resolved, it will continue to be a matter of the highest national priority. As a symbol of this national commitment, the P.O.W./M.I.A. Flag will fly over the White House, the Departments of State and Defense, the Veterans' Administration, and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on July 19, 1985, and over the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
By Senate Joint Resolution 87, the Congress has designated July 19, 1985, as "National P.O.W./M.I.A. Recognition Day." On this day, we recognize the special debt all Americans owe to our fellow citizens who gave up their freedom in the service of our country; we owe no less to their families.
Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Friday, July 19, 1985, as National P.O.W./M.I.A. Recognition Day. I call on all Americans to join in honoring all former American prisoners of war, those still missing, and their families who have endured and still suffer extraordinary sacrifices on behalf of this country. I also call upon State and local officials and private organizations to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this 27th day of June, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eightyfive, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and ninth.

The Astronaut's Wife (1999)
Spencer Armacost: Well I told that bloated fast food eating motherfucker that we'd have never gotten the chance to be heroes if he hadn't forced us to put that peice of shit exploding sateliette up into orbit.
Jillian Armacost: And then what happened?
Spencer Armacost: Oh you know, he said he'd never been spoken to like that before by anybody and I said I didn't give a big hairy rats ass and if he ever called me again I would track him down, rouse him from his bunk, pull his pants round his ankles and spank him with a coathanger right there in front of his wife and children!
Jillian Armacost: Wanna tell me what you really said to the president?
Spencer Armacost: Yeah, I thanked him for his call and I asked him what he was wearing. And, uh, he started breathing kinda heavy, made a funny noise and hung up.

Freedom's Journey
August 14, 2002 to January 5, 2003
The road to the writing of the Declaration of Independence was wrought with danger. Despite the risk of imprisonment and the impending threat of death, a handful of colonists spoke out against tyranny. They fought against the laws and taxes that plagued them. They fought for their right of self-determination and to have an independent nation. This precarious path to freedom can be traced by the artifacts and documents left behind by those brave patriots.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_flag
False flag operations are covert operations conducted by governments, corporations, or other organizations, which are designed to appear as if they are being carried out by other entities. The name is derived from the military concept of flying false colors; that is, flying the flag of a country other than one's own.
In espionage the false flag technique is used to recruit people into spying or stealing critical documents, by convincing them that they are working for a friendly government or their own government.
Political campaigning has a long history of this tactic in various forms, including in person, print media and electronically in recent years. This can involve when supporters of one candidate pose as supporters of another, or act as “straw men” for their preferred candidate to debate against.

September 28, 1999
Criticism for the memoir, titled "Dutch: A Memoir of Ronald Reagan," also continued to erupt Tuesday from the political side as former President George Bush denied Morris' claim that he and his wife were unwelcome "upstairs" in the Reagan White House when he was vice president.
"That's ridiculous," he said in an interview shown on NBC's "Today."
"Upstairs? I mean that's a kind of English, upstairs-and-downstairs approach to life. "I don't even use the terminology."
Morris writes of a Christmas Eve 1988 conversation he said he had with the Bushes a month before Bush became president.
"I really love that guy, he's such a terrific fellow," Bush -- Reagan's vice president -- is quoted as saying. Morris then quotes Bush as commenting about Reagan and his wife, Nancy: "I kinda wished they'd shown -- 'y'know, a little appreciation. Didn't seem to want us upstairs in the White House."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudologia_fantastica
Pseudologia fantastica, or pathological lying, is one of several terms applied by psychiatrists to the behaviour of habitual or compulsive lying.
It was first described in the medical literature in 1891. One definition of pathological lying is the following:
Pathological lying is falsification entirely disproportionate to any discernible end in view, may be extensive and very complicated, and may manifest over a period of years or even a lifetime.
The defining characteristics of pseudologia fantastica are that, first, the stories are not entirely improbable and often have some element of truth. They aren't a manifestation of delusion or some more wider form of psychosis: upon confrontation, the person can acknowledge them to be untrue, even if unwillingly. Second, the fabricative tendency is long lasting; it is not provoked by the immediate situation or social pressure as much as it originates with the person's innate urge to act in accordance. Third, a definitely internal, not an external, motive for the behavior can be clinically discerned. E.g. long lasting extortion or habitual spousal battery might cause a person to lie repeatedly, without the lying being a pathological symptom.
