	It was in China, late one moonless night.(Part V: representations of privacy in literature and film) - Encyclopedia.com
		Perhaps it is precisely the aterritorial texture of the colonial politics of power, which has resulted in the symbolic mutation of body into the principal site of political violence in the first place, that has required an expatriate, normatively aterritorial, artist to restore to the body its private agitations.
		She resists and subverts that violence by way of releasing the arrested sensuality of the body prior to its political and aesthetic mutations in political or aesthetic terms.
		Visualizing the verbalized, sensualizing the sanctified, openly publicizing the privately codified, Shirin Neshat forces the Islamic claim of her culture to come out of its cultural closet and be publicly recodified so that a public space may be negotiated for a whole new species-being, as Marx would call it.

	Political decoy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A political decoy is a person employed to impersonate a politician, in order to draw attention away from the real person or to take risks on their behalf.
		The political decoy is an individual who has been selected because of their strong physical resemblance to the person they are impersonating.
		If the political decoy bears an overwhelming resemblance to their target and has been thoroughly trained, such impersonation can be almost impossible to detect, even at close range, without recourse to forensic science.

	"Active Measures" Album of Terrorists Decoy of Duck CIA at Home, FBI Abroad Explosion of Names excerpted from ...
		Domestically, the political meaning of the '`active measures" concept- minus the mystifying jargon of intelligence specialists-was enunciated in a hearing of the Denton committee just a month before a presentation in the summer of 1982 by FBI and CIA officials to the House Intelligence Panel.
		But the political implications of Denton's proclamation came clear in short order when staffers in Hatch's office leaked the fact that the SST planned to investigate, among others, three left-liberal institutions that had never been associated with terrorism or violence of any sort.
		And they knew that the best way to neutralize those groups and silence their expressions of discontent would be to connect them to the string of bombings that had been reported in the press as relatively insignificant events committed by a small splinter group of isolated revolutionaries.

		The business of politics takes place behind such screens and makes buggings, law-breaking and assassinations a sanctifiable means of maintaining an unsuspected status quo when all other institutional means of silencing, deflection, removal and quietism have failed.
		When this was taken together with the ever-persisting disquiet over the spate of 60s political assassinations, the ever continuing war in Vietnam and other various acts of governmental hypocrisy it created a sense of unease as to who was actually in control and for what purposes.
		It is political to the degree that Kafka's writings are political; it may not be brazenly committed to a cause but it nonetheless effects us in the way that it shifts our perceptions of an increasingly imbricated political and cultural power whilst opening up the terrain for an understanding of power as a practice.

	t r u t h o u t - Marc Ash \| Put The Brakes on Tom
		The notion has been floated in the press that the nation and the upcoming political debate will benefit from having the Iraqi issue "behind us." That is pure folly.
		Its sole purpose - for the moment - is to divert the attention of the nation from the scandalous conduct of the Bush administration.
		Just because you heed their outrageous demands now does not for an instant mean that they will allow this decoy fall by the wayside in these remaining weeks prior to the election.

		In that part of the country they make artificial ducks, and put them on the water in places where the wild ducks are to be found, for the purpose of decoying them.
		Well, Lincoln and Trumbull played the part of these “decoy ducks,” and deceived enough old-line Whigs and old-line Democrats to elect a Black Republican Legislature.
		When that Legislature met, the first thing it did was to elect as Speaker of the House, the very man who is now boasting that he wrote the Abolition platform on which Lincoln will not stand.

		Well, my sense is that politics is always about choosing the lesser evil, in metaphoric terms, and sometimes the lesser evil in a very real sense.
		The only political party who would form an alliance with such a religious group would be on a par with the BNP, and reviled.
		They don't tend to recognise that almost every political issue you can think of has reasonable arguments that could be made on all sides, and that there are very few positions or stances that are entirely beneficial and entirely without cost.

	Dr. P's Dog Training: A Decoy Rant
		I have no political agenda and trust me, there is no monetary gain in my being upset.
		I believe decoys also have the right to expect cold water, shade and a bench where they can sit down without having to remove their pants.
		And if you, as a decoy, have a need to catch competition dogs when you don't have the physical ability, I can't prevent you from becoming quadriplegic or brain damaged when the wrong dog hits you the right way.

	Editing as Entertainment Constructing The Self-Evidence of Profit
		Such deconstruction of the self-evidence of “meaning”, however, is simply a decoy for securing the legitimacy of the self-evidence of “profit." This clerical deconstruction, in other words, is merely a diversionist strategy—to turn the focus away from the economic to the textual/cultural (which is then represented as the truly “political").
		Self-reflexivity is, in short, an apparatus of class politics: it suspends partisan critique in the name of learning about “both sides of the story” and thus represents the conditions for the production of profit as the self-evident of human societies.
		His politics, like Davidson's, are all those practices that enhance the existing power by new interpretations, new twists of phrases and innovative ways; as a result, the writer who opposes this power becomes for such an editor the writer of self-aggrandizing interjections.

		BAGHDAD, March 21 (UPI) -- A senior U.S. officer says a pair of suicide bombers in Baghdad got through a U.S. military checkpoint by using decoy children who were killed in the explosion.
		Sunni-Shiite sectarian suicide and roadside bombings are multiple occurrences around the Iraqi capital on a daily basis despite an ongoing security sweep by Iraqi and U.S. forces.

	Missile Defense Critics See No Answer to Decoy Problem (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		It seems quite appropriate to me that a nation would make a "political judgement" concerning its security and how to utilize its resources, and then do whatever is necessary to make the technical aspects of the implementation materialize.
		For a missile defense system, the decoy threat is real and work on this problem goes back at least 30 years so one could assume some progress has been made.
		Decoys and deceptions have been a part of warfare for centuries.

	Rudolf Hess
		Hitler biographer John Toland described Hess' political insight and abilities as somewhat limited and his alienation increased during the early years of the war as attention and glory were focused on the generals along with Hermann GÃ¶ring, Joseph Goebbels and Heinrich Himmler.
		Violet Roberts, whose nephew, Walter Roberts was a close relative of the Duke of Hamilton and was working in the political intelligence and propaganda branch of the Secret Intelligence Service (SO1/PWE), was friends with Hess' mentor Karl Haushofer and wrote a letter to Haushofer, which Hess took great interest in prior to his flight.
		Various conspiracy theories have suggested the man imprisoned at Spandau was not Hess, but a double acting as a political decoy.

		Politically brilliant is the fact that here in part of the Bible belt, you have two very religious politicians who both spent time doing missionary work, and they both used it much to their advantage.
		Instead she was a political decoy that would allow him to play the gender/minority card, let it get trumped, and throw in someone he really wants on that bench.
		But in the end, he needs to start working on getting his political capital back, and the only way to do that is by going to the people that gave it to you in the first place.

	Dossier: Rafiq Hariri (July 2001)
		That Hariri is not a member of the traditional political elite and built his financial empire from scratch makes his ostentatious displays of wealth even more captivating.
		Rafiq Bahaa Edine Hariri was born in the Lebanese town of Sidon in 1944, the son of a Sunni Muslim farmer and greengrocer.
		In the fall of 1988, Syria and the Lebanese Forces militia brought about a political crisis by refusing to permit parliament members in areas under their control to convene and elect a new president.

		Satellites and ground-based radar stations are to detect the warhead and decoy balloon in flight, then send the data to early warning system operators in Colorado Springs.
		Yet Democratic political concerns - not leaving Gore vulnerable to Bush on whether Americans are adequately protected - are likely to force Clinton to approve a deployment he otherwise might reject, said John Pike, weapons analyst for the Federation of American Scientists.
		"For the political tacticians who are not worried about Chinese nuclear missiles, who are only worried about getting their candidate elected, this decision is very simple," Pike said.

	Texas Hunting Forum: Decoys?
		I set my buddy in the wheelchair up with the decoys off to the side, so that a bird coming in will be looking at the decoys and not him.
		Got another that was focusing on the hen decoy and gobbleing, i think he was about to run cause there was no wind to shake or move the decoy and he was about to figure out that it was a decoy.
		I set up my decoy about 10 yards to my right, his roost was about 100-150 yards to my left along the same fence line, and the trail he was using was several hundred yards to my right past the decoy.

	THE IRANIAN: Sheikh Yassin, Houman Jazaeri
		As such, he is a dangerous and irresponsible political leader.
		He spoke and preached out in the open, as if daring the Israelis to put him out of his misery; so hundreds of thousands of oppressed, frustrated, humiliated, unemployed, and angry youths could add another poster to their superstar martyrs gallery and try snug dynamite belts on for size.
		Israelis took the bait; as a result Israel is less secure, Palestine is more desperate, and some factional political points are scored as a right wing government proposes to relinquish Gaza.

	TONGA RESTIVE OVER POLITICAL REFORM DELAYS - November 13, 2006
		The drama is also a decoy by the politicians to distract public attention from the massive salary increase - backdated for two years - the Members have just taken for themselves.
		With regards to the Reform, from the onset, despite the fact that the National Committee for Political Reform (NCPR) was a creation of the Legislative Assembly with the intention for a national consultation to find out the wishes of the people, the Cabinet and some People's Representatives (PR’s) have pressed their own reform agendas.
		Government and the PRs' Committee for Political Reform had a confrontation in the House on Monday, with the PRs demanding that the House continue the debate on the NCPR report and vote on a definite way forward.

	Decoy Effect - How A Third Option Changes How We Choose
		In the first case, people are more likely to choose the 3 star restaurant, whereas in the second case, people are more likely to choose the 5 star restaurant, and in neither case does the choice ratio match what it was when the third option was not present.
		The option no one chooses functions as a decoy - even though no one chooses it, it still changes the choice process.
		The point the analysts were making was this: in a political race, if you have two frontrunners, even though the other candidates don't stand a chance, they are still very important to the race, because they can change the way people vote, simply by being in the race.

	Nigeriaworld Feature Article - President Obasanjo and Babangida's game plan
		The initiators and promoters of this big diversionary tactic and decoy called the third term project would be patting themselves on the back and clicking their glass of champagne in their various inner recesses of their hill top mansions and their lavishly decorated penthouses all over the country and beyond.
		It is a little surprising considering the level of our political awareness now that very few people can actually see through this deceit and fully understand their game plan as the 2007 presidential election moves closer to us than we are prepared.
		But IBB for the kind of man he is, always want to prove that he can out smart all of us, because of his believe that we all are cowards, greedy, unprincipled, gullible and choose to have short memory.

		I just got your book The Decoy Princess and find it fantastic.When I found out that there is going to be a sequel, there were conflicting feelings....I was so excited that there was going to be a sequel but then I realized that I would have to wait until the summer.
		Decoy Princess was a much faster paced read than the Truth series, and seems like a great start to a new series.

		Born on September 23, 1972, Mr Gemayel was the eldest son of Amin Gemayel, who was president between 1982 and 1988.
		The Phalangists fielded the largest Christian militia during the 1975-90 civil war between Christians and Muslims, allying themselves first with Syria, then with Israel when it invaded Lebanon during the civil war.
		The decline is attributed to emigration of Christians and higher birth rates among the Muslim population, which is estimated to make up the other 70 per cent.

		Its unlikely for politics to produce a 60+majority ever..so every bill requires the consent of both parties regardless of who holds majorities in what arm of government....
