Games Narcissists Play
I had a friend suggest this so I'm doing it because we're DESPERATE!
My son and I are being evicted thanks to a crappy roommate not paying his rent or share of the bills and I'm trying to get the heck out of Tampa and back home to Seattle. I lost my job in late October and Jason didn't work for 2 weeks in November and then again for two weeks in December due to the holidays so we just fell into that "one month away from homelessness" category that many Americans are in. Well, we're here and facing homelessness.
I've set up a GoFundMe page so if those of you who have found this site helpful could maybe consider helping us I would be incredibly grateful! This information was freely given and will always remain so. However, we're really stuck so I'm just reaching out to anyone remotely connected to our world (even the kindness of strangers) who would consider helping us not end up homeless!
Thank you for reading this post. I have no pride left, only desperation…things turned bad so quickly my head is spinning and I'm walking in circles so if you can help, PLEASE do! Also, if you could pray and/or put us on any prayer chains or lists you know, that would be awesome too.
The GoFundMe link is here: https://www.gofundme.com/janetbyers
I've decided to try to put together a list of games that narcissists play to help others recognize when they are BEING played. It is my hope that you can gather the tools, and then the courage, to stop playing with these nasty narcissists!
I've learned that most narcissists play the same games and use the same language (some more viciously than others with lots of open hatred) but the subtle language appears to be rather "rote" and "common" — which of course, if they knew you thought them to be boring, common and average, would make them nuts.
This is a really fun game ALL narcissists like to play! It involves shredding your soul, your ego, your accomplishments and any belief system you have that does not agree with theirs. The way the game is won is for them to try to turn absolutely everything about you, and everything you do, into a complete failure. Extra points are given when they can take all credit for anything good that has ever happened and put it all in their pot. There are double extra points when they manage to put all blame for anything bad onto the other players.
I read on another blog about the Pity Party and they added: (Longest. Party. Ever.) I laughed and promptly adopted it. It's SO true that it's the longest (dullest and worst) party EVER for the victims…the neediness of a narcissist seems bottomless, does it not? Sheesh, they are SO boring and their parties suck.
In this popular game, you are not allowed to ever reach 21. Even if you are 50 years old, you will still be treated like a child (a stupid child, a bad child, a silly child, etc.) You don't get to have face cards and if YOU get an ace, it's only worth 1 point.
The most important part to remember about this game is that no one can know the rules except the King or Queen. Either the King or Queen gets to make up rules as they go along, they don't have to tell the other players and can change the rules whenever it suits them. They ARE, after all, the King / Queen and therefore always win the game too (even when you play fairly by that day's rules.) You can be penalized for breaking the rules, even if they choose not to tell you the rules.
This is a kind of competitive patience (solitaire) game for two players. It is also known as Cat and Mouse. The cards are arranged from low to high with the Kings being wild. Suits (normal order of things and / or common societal rules) are irrelevant in the game. The game ends when someone wins by playing the last card of their pay-off pile. The game can also end if the players run out of cards, in which case the result is a draw.
This is one my son found for me on the internet when we were talking about this post and the analogies are numerous and fun. Spite & Malice (or Cat & Mouse) is a perfect game for a narcissist because 1) it is actually a form of solitaire, 2) it requires "one upmanship" and pulling out "better" cards to beat the other player with. Oh, how many times have you experienced this game, dear one?
It involves a "pay off" and for the narc, that usually means hurting you somehow. They keep track of real or imaginary things you do, have done or might do. This is their "pile" and they nurture it, obsess over it and dump it on you whenever possible.
All people with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) play this game superbly. They are consummate liars. Their entire persona, their world and their very selves are completely based in lies. They are truly empty shells in most respects (except what IS in the shell is truly evil, toxic and ugly.) The good stuff is all made up in order to get OTHER people to give them praise, worship, adoration and accolades…their much needed narcissistic supply…their daily dose of fresh blood that keeps them going. Of course, other people have to bleed for them to feed but who cares? They don't.
The Devil is a liar and narcissists are his beloved evil children.
This is a game that YOU learn to play. They hate it. One of the most important things to recognize is that they will NEVER cop to the fact that any games are being played so it IS up to you to stop playing.
This means you don't try to bring up past stuff because you'll always be told you're wrong, they are right and you need help. You don't try to get them to acknowledge — let alone take responsibility for — their words or actions because, according to them, they didn't do it.
Most of them literally can NOT see what they are doing to you (or WILL not see.) They might (sort of and quite grudgingly) appear to acknowledge that they've said or done bad things but they'll never stop or change (unless they seek serious therapy and most will not because nothing is wrong with THEM you see. It's everyone around them.)
Yes, they might sort of acknowledge…but you will pay the price for your attempts at bringing the relationship into a healthy place. In their unconscious mind, they are dirty, evil, flawed and horrible. They usually cannot acknowledge this fact but are driven by a compulsion to make others feel the same way. They are filled with envy and rage and trying to get them to acknowledge these facts will bring out a monster…with you being the victim they fully intend to eat. Remember, fake acknowledgement is only a way to keep you in the game.
A support group or therapist is usually very helpful to those of us who choose to stop playing the games. Total NC (no contact) is the ultimate form of "Keep Away" and completely stops the games but some people don't feel able to do that (and that's okay, we're each on our own journey and need to do the things that are the best for us in healing and learning self care.)
If you are in a love relationship, you CAN walk away from the toxic narcissist in your life. If your boss is an abusive narcissist, you CAN find another job. You CAN walk away from your parents too but you will get a different reaction about that from society, especially if you are a Christian. If you choose to stay, one way to STOP playing their game is to not respond to jabs, barbs, pleas, put-downs and the like.
It's REALLY hard to do but think of it this way: If you're playing a game of catch with a ball, the only way to stop the game is not to catch the ball when thrown, or not pick up the ball and throw it back. (Of course, in a normal game of catch, most people won't try to stab you to death if you want to stop — which a narc will do in some way or another — but it IS possible to stop playing. Just be prepared for an onslaught of negativity, accusations and histrionics.)
Ignoring them drives them nuts but ignoring inciting words, keeping your mouth shut and not responding to inciting words, hanging up the phone (with proper notice such as "I've got something I need to do" — not slamming it down in fury!) or leaving the location are all ways for YOU to refuse to catch the ball, or put the ball down / choose not to throw it back. This is "Keep Away" — you stay away, walk away and refuse to play.
You do NOT have the power to change them but you can walk away from the games…YOU have the power to stop playing. The scissors to cut the apron strings are scissors YOU own, not the dull pair that don't cut; the ones that your narc mom owns. Daddy's toxic lap is one you can choose to step down from. If your spouse wants to play, you can choose not to. Lay down the ball, walk away and enjoy the temporary rest.
I say "temporary" because they WILL be back to play another day. They WANT their dose of narcissistic supply from you (and feel eternally entitled to it.) Only you can withhold that. They will do EVERYTHING in their power to tell you that you do NOT have the right to stop playing. Only you can stop playing because they won't. NEVER. EVER. You are the only one in the game who can play "Keep Away!"
I think it's their favorite…YOU are crazy any time you try to confront them, talk of past issues or behaviors, bust them in the middle of doing something awful or just when they feel like being complete pukes.
The game is played like this: You are told that you have a very vivid imagination, that you don't know what you're talking about, that they have no idea what you're talking about, or that you're simply making things up to hurt them or cause problems. Because, you see, it's obvious that YOU are crazy. Just ask them, they'll tell you (and tell you that everyone around you agrees with THEM that YOU are crazy.)
They will claim not to remember even very memorable events, flatly denying they ever happened, nor will they ever acknowledge any possibility that they might have forgotten. This is an extremely aggressive and exceptionally infuriating tactic called "gaslighting," common to abusers of all kinds. Your perceptions of reality are continually undermined so you end up without any confidence in your intuition, your memory or your powers of reasoning. This makes you a much better victim for the abuser.
You'll hear words and phrases like: "You just took it wrong."
or "You always take everything I say out of context."
or "Why do you always have to live in the past? Why can't you move on like normal people? Maybe you need to see a therapist."
or "You're remembering wrong, it didn't happen that way."
or "I swear I am constantly walking on eggshells with you; you are so sensitive!
or "You're crazy if you think…"
"You're just imagining things; you are so touchy!"
or "Maybe you should see a therapist; I've tried and tried to help you but you just don't seem to want my help. We really need to move on; this isn't healthy for you."
or "I was there and you are overdramatizing the situation…it did not happen that way."
or "Just ask so-and-so, they'll back me up…you are wrong."
or "No one else in the family feels the way you do about this so you need to just think about that missy; think about what you're doing to us all with this constant drama and trauma….maybe you should see a therapist…"
Get the drift? Basically you are wrong, your perceptions are wrong, your memories are wrong, any bad memories you have are imaginary, you need help, they're only trying to help you, no one in the family agrees with you and so on.
You'll also hear words like "always, never, ever, constantly, forever" and other dramatic ways of expression such as "You always try to make me feel bad; I can't change the past so WHY do you have to constantly bring this stuff up?"
or "You never seem to be able to…"
or "Why are you forever doing…or saying…"
or "I never did any such thing; you're just making that up to hurt me."
Whatever it is that you are "always, constantly or forever" doing usually has to do with you trying to get them to understand, and take responsibility for, THEIR part in it. Whatever it is that you "never" do most likely has to do with refusing to play their game.
"You NEVER give me the benefit of the doubt!"
or "You NEVER give me credit for all my hard work."
or "Why can't you EVER see my point of view; why does everything have to be about YOU!"
This one is one of my favorites because if you've gotten them to that point of frustration by having the bad taste to bring up their bad behavior, their mask will slip. The one thing they hate is something NOT being about THEM…as long as they can be the wonderful one, of course. Anything bad about them simply does not exist and YOU ARE CRAZY to think otherwise.

This is one of the better blogs I've seen on the subject, you're right they do love playing games, it's so sick and twisted how many people are broken inside and want you to feel just like them.

It is truly amazing that everything here has a ring of truth as it relates to my personal experience. The trouble I have lies in the fact that each of us has the potential for NPD. If there is to be a cure, then the victims need to be equipped to facilitate that change, rather than just walking away. In the latter case, can anyone imagine a world where Narcs are avoided? Seems like most people will become anti-social!

OMG, this was the best article ever. Just ended a relationship with a lying, controlling narc. I was so tickled when I read the Crazy Eights, cause that's him all the time. I remember when he had his Facebook account…he has since closed it for whatever reasons…anyway, during the time of our dating, I went looking around on his page. I saw where he was flirting around with this woman and told the woman to call him, THEN he lied another time saying he was going to his ex wife's bday party and had posted a picture of a concert that he was attending the same night.
I confronted him about it, he became FURIOUS that I was snooping around on his page. I tried explaining that's what you do when you are friends with someone, but if he wanted to look around on MY page I had no issue with it being we were in a COMMITTED relationship. I mean he was furious…but of course, he had a big lie to try and cover it up. I was furious and extremely hurt that he lied to me, but needless to say I tried to make things work anyway, knowing my trust at that point had flown out the window. So when he figured I had cooled down a few days later we were discussing it and he kept saying, "I don't know what you're talking about"…and when I went to his page to show him, he had deleted both posts!!! LOL
He was livid that I was on his FB page and kept saying I had no right looking around…I started to feel bad, but now I'm seeing that's the game they play.
Thanks for this blog…this is like really fantastic. I just caught him in a act last weekend and that was a very nasty encounter…ended up calling the police and everything. I wasn't hurt, but you can best believe he's the VICTIM now and everything is my fault, not seeing how his lying and game playing has effected my emotional state. I have been a total wreck, that is until I my friend told me to read up on this disorder, NOW I know what I've been dealing with cause I thought I was crazy, but he's the one that's crazy.

Can't thank you enough for this blog. I'm learning so much and I'm having lightbulb moments all over the place
August 18, 2013 at 3:38 PM
My x narcs favourite thing was to say why is it always about you, what about me my pain, what a joke he was a hollow person who wouldn't know the truth if he fell over it.
We have been apart many months now, but religiously he contacts me every week either by email phone or text, and I have never replied and have kept no contact, this appears to be driving him out of his mind, and I have found my silence one of the best weapons ever, it feels good to have taken my power back after 2yrs of abuse from this man, I am starting to once again function like a normal human being, good luck to all who have suffered and are suffering this kind of abuse there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
A very accurate article.

How about HIDE & SEEK: You close your eyes and don't look, don't notice and don't get upset while the NPD trods anywhere they want. It's not until you open your eyes and sometime later that you find they were hiding in your personal life, in your personal affairs, places they don't belong. And the only person they were hiding from was you. Until they were done. Now you get to pick up all the pieces from the damage they caused. Oh, and don't accuse them for the damage, whatever they did was under the guise of "helping" or "caring", all the damage is NOT their fault. It's yours. You should have never closed your eyes.

I was married to a NPD for 8 years. He destroyed my self esteem before it was all over by accusing me of every wrong doing that HE actually committed. He lied, he cheated, he told me I was selfish. The problem was, I didn't know he had NPD. I didn't really know what it was. But when I went to some counseling, I learned that this is what I was living with. And once I learned what I was dealing with I started to heal. It's a slow and painful process. He hurt me so deeply that a year later I still cry about it. He was the love of my life. But I have done the No Contact approach (unless I absolutely had to contact ihim about something and then it was strictly business – like – "there's is mail at the house for you – go get it" I keep feeling like if I could stand in front of him and yell and scream and tell him I know what he is, I know what he did, and I know it wasn't me – I would feel better. But I hae also learned that this is not going to help anyone. So I am letting time do it's healing, and I will be healed.

Moulay, your response hit home for me! I felt like you're writing about me and I understand completely what you have been going through. I was severe abused verbally and psychologically by my ex husband and it becomes PTSD for me. It is going to be a long haul before I can trust a man again. Thank you for sharing…
January 6, 2013 at 1:13 PM
I have been accused of being a narcissistic mother. My daughter saw a counselor who was convinced that was my diagnosis. My daughter has deep emotional issues and she lies. I'm not perfect but narcissistic is a ridiculous diagnoses without ever interviewing me.
People love to put labels on other people without taking responsibility for their own actions. This is not even a diagnosis …….

Everything on this site describes my father to a T…a capital T! It's almost like the chains are being released by just reading this! My only problem is this, how do you deal with a narcissistic father that uses the word of God against you. I am a Christian. Have been a Christian longer than he has, but because he went off to this Christian recovery program and found Jesus, he thinks he knows it better than me and uses the word of God to beat me up. He is constantly throwing Bible verses at me to correct anything I do or don't do. A person should not cringe when they hear the word of God, but I do when he uses it on me. Because I won't accept his ways of thinking and bow to him, he says I have the "mind of Satan" and that I "need to get in the Word of God more" and I'm "not the Christian that he thought I was." HE is now using the one good thing I had in my life against me. What do I do?

This is GREAT! What horrible people those NPDs are.
The last quote is nice too. I was abused by several NPDs (three, almost everyday) throught my life, and had severe psychological and emotional abuse by others, and I know how an NPD person feels, since I almost became one. (I guess it's a defence mechanism)
"Everyone is stupid, and an idiot, I am so Cool and Great, People are lucky to have someone like me. Making a mistake is very VERY painful (especially in public), because it reminds me of my lies. I feel extreme pleasure insulting, and putting down others, because it makes my grandiose fantasy slightly more real. I will easily detect the weaknesses of others, and this also makes me very happy. I have great acting skills (yeah really)."
BUT I decided to never lie to myself again, and to be a good person. If God put me with those evil people, it's for a good reason. So I never become like them.
The childrens of narcissists who became narcissists themselves are a failure, they should've become the contrary of what their parents were. Trials show people their true colors.
What I mean is, NPDs ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS, AND THEY KNOW IT, THEY KNOW EVERY SINGLE Horrible thing they do is Bad. They have a conscience, but keep finding reasons to do what they do, tricking their own brains.
They're like drug addicts needing drugs, they have to abuse you to get their fix. When I stopped being NPD, I had physical, and emotional withdrawals for a long time, but it was worth it, I started feeling emotions and empathy much more strongly.
But I also discovered, GREAT Not well known WAYS to be stronger than them, and to make sure they don't EVEN TRY TO hurt you.

Includes:Emma (1996) Jane Eyre (1997) Ivanhoe (1997) Tom Jones (1997) Victoria & Albert (2001) Emma In this made-for-TV adaptation of Jane Austen's classic novel, Emma Woodhouse (Kate Beckinsale) is a clever young woman from a wealthy family who fancies herself a matchmaker and tries to find a husband for her shy friend Harriet (Samantha Morton). However, Emma's skills in bringing romances together are not all she imagines them to be, which causes no small annoyance for Harriet. What's more, Emma's interest in the affairs of others nearly causes her to miss out on the love of her life. This adaptation of Emma was first shown in the U.S. on the A&E cable network; it followed both Douglas McGrath's acclaimed film version starring Gwyneth Paltrow, and Amy Heckerling's considerably updated variation on the story, Clueless. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide Jane Eyre This made-for-TV feature was the tenth screen adaptation of the classic Gothic romance by Charlotte Bronte. Jane Eyre (Samantha Morton, who two years later would earn an Oscar nomination for her performance in Woody Allen's Sweet and Lowdown) grew up an orphan under trying circumstances, but through hard work and determination, she has gained an education and is employed as a governess at the Thornfield Hall estate. Jane quickly falls in love with the brooding and secretive owner of Thornfield, Mr. Rochester (Ciaran Hinds). He soon falls for her as well, but before they can reach the altar, a number of shocking secrets threaten to destroy their romance. This version of Jane Eyre made its American debut on the A&E Cable Network. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide Ivanhoe A century after the Normans conquer England, evil Prince John (Ralph Brown) seizes control of the realm in the absence of the rightful ruler, his brother Richard the Lion-Hearted (Rory Edwards), who has been crusading in the Holy Land. John means to replace Richard as king. John, a Norman, governs with cruelty and force of arms, and the Saxon natives despise him. Siding with John are fearsome warrior priests known as Templars. All seems lost for the Saxons. Then the Saxon hero Ivanhoe returns from the Crusades in disguise. Not far behind is Richard. Meanwhile, Ivanhoe's father, Cedric (James Cosmo), a Saxon lord who has disowned his son in the mistaken belief that he has betrayed Richard, betroths his beautiful ward, Rowena (Victoria Smurfit), Ivanhoe's beloved, to Saxon lord Athelstane (Chris Walker). If right is to prevail, the Saxons must unseat John, and Ivanhoe must restore his good name and win Rowena. John decides to sponsor a tournament between his Templar champions and Saxon knights. On the first day of the tournament, the disguised Ivanhoe heartens the Saxons by defeating the best of the Templars in a jousting match. On the second day, during sword-to-sword combat, he turns apparent defeat into victory with the help of a mysterious Black Knight (Rory Edwards). Ivanhoe suffers a wound, however, and Rebecca (Susan Lynch), a Jew, nurses him back to health. Ivanhoe had saved the life of her father, Isaac. The Templars capture Ivanhoe and other Saxons, as well as Rebecca and her father, and hold them in a castle. Then, Saxon men-at-arms led by Robin Hood (Aden Gillett) and the Black Knight storm the castle and free the prisoners. However, a Templar knight rides off with Rebecca, and his superior condemns her as a witch and sentences her to be burned at the stake. The film builds to its climax as Ivanhoe rides to save Rebecca, and viewers wonder about the ultimate fate of John, the identity of the Black Knight, and the future course of English history. ~ Mike Cummings, All Movie Guide Tom Jones In this TV miniseries based on the 1749 Henry Fielding novel, kindly Squire Allworthy (Benjamin Whitrow) adopts an infant boy left at his home after unmarried Jenny Jones (Camille Coduri) is paid by the real mother to admit that the child is hers.

To: President of the United States Hillary Clinton
From: Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Ian Judge-Lord
CC: United States Secretary of State Tim Kaine
Madam President,
You served with distinction as Secretary of State under your predecessor, former President Barack Obama. You became President Obama's Secretary of State when he took office in January 2009.
At that time, the United States of America was losing between seventeen and 120 soldiers per month, at an average rate of more than two soldiers per day, in the war in Iraq begun in March 2003 by President Obama's Republican predecessor George Walker Bush.[1] [2] According to the Associated Press on November 9, 2006, then-Minister of Health of Iraq Ali Al-Shemari put the number of Iraqi civilian casualties at 100 per day.[3] As United States Senator from the State of New York, you were among the 29 Democratic Senators to vote in favor of Joint Resolution 114: "Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution" on October 11, 2002.
When President Obama took office in January 2009, the United States was also involved in the war in Afghanistan begun by President Bush on October 7, 2001, following the Al-Qaeda terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan and the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia on September 11, 2001. On October 25, 2010, London's "The Daily Telegraph" put the number of American and North Atlantic Treaty Organization [NATO] coalition soldiers killed in Afghanistan at two per day.[4] You were among the fifty Democratic Senators to vote in favor of Senate Joint Resolution 23, the authorization for the use of military force in Afghanistan, on September 14, 2001.
Having previously served as First Lady of the United States in the Presidential administration of your husband William Clinton, you know as well as anyone that the Al-Qaeda terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 were the result of the "fatwa" or "jihad" against the United States of America declared by Saudi Arabian billionaire Osama Bin Laden in August 1996. In it, Bin Laden specifically cited the presence of United States forces based in Saudi Arabia.
I. Background
With the United States Central Intelligence Agency, Bin Laden had aided the Seven Party Islamic Unity of Afghanistan Mujahedeen Alliance in its 1989 defeating the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics [USSR] after the Soviet Army invaded Afghanistan in 1979.[5] [6] Bin Laden returned to Saudi Arabia in time for President of Iraq Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait In August 1990, which put the Iraqi Republican Guard on the Saudi Arabian border and posed a threat to the Saudi royal family. Bin Laden, in a meeting with King of Saudi Arabia Fahd Al Saud and Sultan Abdul-Aziz Al Saud, the Minister of Defense and Aviation, offered to defend the Saudi Arabian cities and Islamic holy sites of Mecca and Medina with his mujahedeen, called "Al-Qaeda" ["The Foundation"]. His offer was rebuffed and the Saudi monarch invited the deployment of the United States 82nd Airborne division in the city of Dhahran, 400 miles from Medina. Bin Laden publicly denounced Saudi "dependence" on non-Muslim assistance form the United States Military and was banished to Sudan by the Saudi royal family in 1992.[7] [22] Saudi Arabia pressured Sudan to expel Bin Laden, and he returned to Afghanistan on May 18, 1996.
In his "Fatwa", entitled "Declaration of War Against the Americans Occupying the Land of the Two Holy Mosques" [Saudi Arabia, in reference to Mecca and Medina] in London's "Al-Quds Al-Arabi" newspaper on August 23, 1996[8], Bin Laden cited an agreement between President George Herbert Walker Bush and King Fahd Al Saud that all American forces based in Saudi Arabia would be withdrawn after the defeat and withdrawal of Saddam Hussein's Iraqi Republican Guard on February 28, 1991. On August 17, 1992, however, President Bush, citing his decision not to destroy the remnants of Hussein's regime, launched Operation Southern Watch for the controlling of air space in Iraq south of the 33rd parallel of latitude [the Southern No Fly Zone] by the United States Central Command [CENTCOM] to ensure Iraq's compliance with the April 5, 1991 United Nations Security Council Resolution 688.
Following the signing into law of the "Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution" by President George Walker Bush on October 16, 2002, the invasion of Iraq begun by the Bush administration on March 20, 2003 succeeded in overthrowing Hussein's regime on April 9, 2003.[9] [10] Among the Administration's many pretenses for the invasion was their assertion that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and his regime had aided and even harbored Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda, and had a hand in Al-Qaeda's attacks on America in September 2001. While this claim, like many of Bush's other justification for the Iraq War, was later found to have been known to be untrue by the Bush administration at the time of the invasion[11], the toppling of the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party with the American military occupation of the Iraqi capitol of Baghdad in 2003 opened the door for the formation of Al-Qaeda in Iraq on October 17, 2004 by Jordanian Islamist Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi pledging allegiance to Bin Laden.[12] [13] In October 2006, Al-Qaeda in Iraq declared the establishment of the "Dawlat Al-Iraq Al-Islamiyyah" ["Islamic State of Iraq"],[14] naming Abu Al-Baghdadi; a former Islamic mosque cleric and officer in the Iraqi Army under Saddam Hussein with a B.A., M.A. and Ph.D. in Islamic Studies form the Islamic Al-Iraqia University of Baghdad; as its leader. [15]
As Secretary of State, you were in the Situation Room in the West Wing of the White House when, on May 1, 2011, President Obama ordered the assassination of Osama Bin Laden in Abbottabad, a city 68 miles North of Islamabad, capitol of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.[16] On April 8, 2013, Al-Baghdadi announced the adoption of the name "Ad-Dwalah Al-Islamiyah Fi-I-Iraq Wa-Sh-Sham", or "Islamic State of Iraq and Syria" [ISIS].[17]
II. Plan of Action
On December 14, 2008, President Bush signed the "Agreement Between the United States of America and the Republic of Iraq on the Withdrawal of United States Forces from Iraq and the Organization of Their Activities During Their Temporary Presence in Iraq". This "Status of Forces Agreement" included the date of June 30, 2009 by which United States combat forces should withdraw from Iraqi cities and established that all America forces would be completely out of Iraqi territory by December 31, 2011. In accordance with this agreement, the last 500 soldiers left Iraq on December 18, 2011.
It is the recommendation of the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs that the withdrawal of America forces from Iraq between December 2007 and December 2011 be used as a model for the withdrawal of American military bases from Saudi Arabia, in accordance with the original agreement between former President of the United States George Herbert Walker Bush and Former King Fahd Al Saud of Saudi Arabia, the violation of which served as the primary impetus for the jihad of Osama Bin Laden that resulted in the deaths of 2,606 Americans in Lower Manhattan on the morning of Tuesday September 11, 2001. The agreement between President Bush and King Fahd had been made to take affect after the end of the First Persian Gulf War in February 1991. It is the recommendation of this Bureau that it be the policy of the United States of America to honor that agreement following the end of the Second Persian Gulf War in December 2011.
As was proven by the scandal at the Baghdad Central Prison at Abu Ghraib in 2003, American military bases in the Islamic world can often do more harm than good.
III. Potential Complications
The military bases in Saudi Arabia were installed initially to facilitate the American and NATO counter-offensive against Saddam Hussein's Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in August 1990. As documented by NBC News on March 5, 2014, an overwhelming preponderance of evidence now exists to support that both the first and second Presidents Bush's reason for violating the agreement with the Saudi royal family to remove those bases was to secure American access to Saudi Arabia's abundant reserves of petroleum. American oil imports reached a historic high on more than ten and a half million barrels a day in June 2005 and American oil production hit a low of less than four million barrels per day in September 2005. The situation under President Bush's father in 1990 was similar. Since at least February of 2012, however, according to the United States Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration, the United States of America exports more oil than it imports for the first time since the mid-twentieth century following the end of the Second World War, meaning that net American imports of foreign oil are at historic lows. The price of oil, meanwhile, has hit its all-time high[18] and concerns about the price of fossil fuels are growing.[19] [20] At the same time, prices of renewable alternative energy resources, such as wind power, are at all-time lows.[21] [22] [23] Other nations, such as Germany, have already taken advantage of this juxtaposition[24], dropping the percentage of their energy from fossil fuels to historic lows[25] and setting new records for the percentages of their energy that comes from renewable alternatives such as wind power.[26] As a result, worldwide, both the amount of investment[27] and growth in renewable alternatives such as wind power has hit an all-time high.[28]
It is the further recommendation of the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs that it be the policy of the United States to emulate the policies of the governments of Western Europe, such as Germany, when it comes to our policy toward reliance on fossil fuels, as a complete American withdrawal from the Middle East and the Arabian peninsula will only ever be practical if and when we are able to effectively eliminate American economic interests in that region of the world to as much of an extent as is practically feasible. Since the end of the Second World War, the Western world's foremost primary economic interest in the Middle East has been in its abundance of fossil fuel reserves.
Both the September 11, 2001 and July 7, 2005 Al-Qaeda attacks on New York and London, England respectively and the November 13, 2015 ISIS attacks on Paris, France serve to demonstrate the ease with which the instability that has plagued the Middle East since the breakup of the Ottoman Empire in 1922 can directly and detrimentally affect the stability of the western world. Likewise, unrest in the region has had a long history of disrupting the dependability of western economies, primarily through either direct or indirect manipulation of the supply and prices of fossil fuels, such as during the 1967 and 1973 oil embargoes.[29] [30]
It is the position of the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs that the continued presence of American military troops stationed in bases near the cities in Saudi Arabia that are holy to Muslims continues to contribute to and exacerbate the already-volatile and unstable social and political climate in the Middle East.
Since the installation of bases in Saudi Arabia for the facilitation of the first Persian Gulf War was a NATO action, however, a unilateral withdrawal by the United States of America, however much it may decrease the negativity of attitudes of Islamic Middle Easterners towards America in particular, will unfortunately be insufficient. If international Islamic terrorism's capability to attack New York, London and Paris alike demonstrates nothing else, it should be that the threat posed by the anti-Western hostility felt by Middle Eastern Muslims, unarguably made worse by the presence of Western armed forces near Muslim sacred sites, is one that is shared equally among all of the nations of the Western world. Therefore, it is the position of the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs that it be the policy of the United States to, through diplomacy, enlist the participation of all interested parties, all Western nations with either a military presence or a vested economic interest in the Middle Eastern region in formulating a coordinate multilateral strategy for the withdrawal, however gradual or eventual, of all Western presence from the Middle East and the Arabian peninsula by the middle of this century, if not sooner.
As no estimate of when global oil production will peak puts that date beyond the 2030's[31] [32] [33] [34], by mid-century[35], if oil supplies have not been depleted[36], then they will at the very least be in decline.[37] The oil embargoes of 1967 and 1973 demonstrate the extraordinary capability of fluctuations in Middle Eastern oil supplies to affect Western economies. As it has the driving force behind industrialization since the late nineteenth century, the decline and eventual depletion of fossil fuel reserves will have an economic effect on those nations whose economies are still reliant on fossil fuels at the time that it occurs that, in even the most charitable and generous of estimations of economists, will make the Great Recession of 2008 and even the Great Depression of the 1930's appear mild by comparison. [38] Thus, in addition to the threat that the social and political unrest plaguing the Middle East poses to the safety and security of the citizens of Western nations, the ticking time-bomb that is the rapidly-diminishing reserves remaining of Middle Eastern fossil fuels poses what could very well be as grave a threat to those nations' economic futures. Just as the American and Western military presence in the Middle East exacerbates the civil unrest in the region the longer those troop remain stationed there, so too does the risk of the economic depression that will inexorably strike the Middle East when its reserves of fossil fuels are inevitably depleted[39] also adversely affecting the American economy in turn worsen for every year that America continues its current rate of reliance on the consumption of fossil fuels, in contrast to the nations of Western Europe.[40]
IV. Summary
It cannot be known or stated with any real degree of certainty whether withdrawing American and Western military armed forces and bases from Saudi Arabia will diminish the level of civil unrest in the region, or even the risk this unrest poses to the security of westerners. Likewise, it also cannot be absolutely said that withdrawing American economic interests, like our continued consumption of fossil fuels, from the Middle East will entirely immunize the Western world from having its economies adversely affected by the economic depression that will result from worldwide fossil fuel supplies peaking and declining midway through the 21st century.[41] [42]
However, it is the position of the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs that, in both of these arenas, America and our Western European allies being less involved, both militarily and economically, in a region of the world that is as fractious and chaotic presently, historically and in the foreseeable future, as the Middle East is in the best interests not only of the citizens of western nations, but also, ultimately, of the peoples of the Middle East as well.
The famous German-American physicist Albert Einstein, who saw both sides of both World Wars of the early twentieth century firsthand, once observed "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result." Under the first and second Presidents Bush, the United States of America witnessed and experienced the consequences of policies of getting the Western world ever more deeply involved in the affairs of the Middle East and the Arabian Peninsula. It is the recommendation of this Bureau that what is now the third Presidential Administration of the 21st century not repeat that policy, but instead seek to pursue the opposite course instead, and see where that leads.

The good news is that it's easier than ever to bootstrap and start something part time. Many of the most enduring businesses were started in recessions, and, let's be honest, after a year you can really only be engaged in heavy-duty job searching for a few hours a day, without going insane.
We can all have our own 20% time, just like the "20% time program" at Google, because the Internet has made the cost of technology and experimenting with a business idea basically free, and easier than ever before. When my friend is not job searching, he can be spend the rest of his time working on a new business project.
If you're trying to decide between starting a business and buying a franchise, before investing a lot of money in a franchise, start to experiment on your own. Depending on your idea (my suggestion is with an information or service business in mind) decide on a small dollar amount to invest, say $1,000, and experiment on your own first. You'll learn a lot about what you'll be doing with a franchise, because, aside from the infrastructure and support you get with a franchise, the work will be largely the same and 99% on the franchisee. Whenever you're ready, the franchise will be there.
I understand my friend's attraction to the franchise versus striking out on his own. A franchise feels "safer". Franchises offer a critical piece of the entrepreneurial puzzle, the business model, and then an entrepreneur builds a life around that. Franchises can also work very well if you know the industry and have the drive to achieve escape velocity beyond breakeven.
The challenge with a franchise is that you're taking on a partner that you may not know very well. Also, if you're new to the industry, the presence of the partner may not only cost more up front, but also make things more difficult and/or less flexible during the early stages.
My friend is considering service-based franchises, ones that do not require heavy up front investment, or fixed costs, such as a store lease or equipment for a restaurant, so it's less risky as an investment. But still, IMHO, the less overhead the better when you're figuring things out. The Internet offers new entrepreneurs endless "variable infrastructure" that comes in the form of SAAS technology, programming expertise, and part time help. Avoid fixed costs for as long as possible.

There are four (4) main questions to determine whether the Trust is subject to state income taxes as a resident trust.
A Trust may be considered a non-resident trust. Generally, if a Trust is not considered a resident trust, then it is a non-resident trust which is subject to income tax to the extent the Trust generates state sourced income from an activity earning income within the state, such as a rental activities or business interests.
As mentioned in our previous post, the Supreme Court recently ruled that Maryland's tax law for income earned outside of the state is unconstitutional. Each year, Maryland residents pay a Maryland state income tax and a local income tax based on the county in which they reside. Prior to this decision, Maryland residents who earned income from states outside of Maryland were only allowed to claim a tax credit against the Maryland state tax. With the Supreme Court ruling, Maryland residents who pay taxes to other states for income earned from outside of Maryland will now be able to claim a tax credit against not only their Maryland state tax, but also the local county tax.
Should I file an amended return?
If you are a Maryland resident who has been paying taxes to states outside of Maryland, the first step to determining if you should file an amended return is to review the your previously filed returns and see if the tax credit was limited. This can be determined by looking at the Form 502CR filed for each state and comparing the allowed credit (Line 8) versus the total taxes paid to the other state (Line 7). If the allowed credit is equal to the taxes paid, your credit was not previously limited and no amended return needs to be filed. However, if the allowed credit is less than the actual taxes paid to the other state, then you may want to file an amended return as the credit will increase.
On Monday, May 18th, the Supreme Court ruled that Maryland's income tax law for income earned outside of the state is unconstitutional. The court voted 5-4 to affirm a 2013 Maryland Court of Appeals decision. The case specifically addressed Maryland's denial of credits against the MD county income tax, otherwise known as the 'piggy-back' local tax. Going forward, residents who earn out-of-state income from certain businesses/sources will be able to claim a credit against the county taxes paid, too. This decision may cost Maryland an estimated $42 million a year in revenue.
This ruling ends a multi-year long court battle. More details can be found in our previous posts about this case, which can be found here, here, and here.
The Maryland General Assembly has released more details about the Maryland Tax Amnesty Program. This program waives all civil penalties and one half of the interest for delinquent taxpayers who apply and are approved. We shared some information about the Tax Amnesty Program in April. To read more about the program and how it may affect you, visit taxes.maryland.com.
For Maryland individuals and corporations past due on filing Maryland tax returns and paying Maryland taxes, the Maryland legislature has passed a tax amnesty bill which is awaiting the governor's signature. The amnesty will apply to corporate and individual income taxes, withholding tax, sales and use tax or admissions and amusement tax and will waive all penalties and one half of the interest due. Although the bill takes effect June 1, 2015, the amnesty period will be starting on September 1, 2015 and run through October 31, 2015. See Senate Bill 763 for more information.

Canadian organization funds PPI to improve biofuel production
Performance Plants (PPI) will receive C$5.56 million, or about $4.3 million, from Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) to fund the company's development of enhanced conversion technology (ECT), which alters plant cell walls to improve the conversion of cellulose into biofuels.The funding will also support the acceleration of PPI's biomass enhancement and water use efficiency technologies. These technologies will be combined with ECT to reduce costs by increasing feedstock yield-per-hectare of land."Current assessments for the North American biofuels market indicate that over 1 billion tons of dry biomass per year will be required to switch current petroleum consumption to 30% renewable fuels," says Peter Matthewman, president of PPI. "Nonfood, purpose-grown energy crops can provide the yield-per-hectare necessary to sustainably and cost-efficiently support a new clean energy industrial sector."PPI's next generation of nonfood biofuel crops will focus on switch grass, Miscanthus, sorghum, and hemp, which can be grown on marginal land with limited fertilizer and water requirements, says the company.

You may want to either double or triple your organic traffic results than the click through rate you are currently getting. Most online marketing companies seem to think it is a case of obtaining numerous backlinks, keeping up to date with algorithm changes and optimizing their web pages to perfection. But, have you ever stopped to think for what reason your business wants to rank on the search engines? Get this! Your ultimate reason should not only be to rank high but attract visitors and making sales. Portland SEO experts can help you achieve your end goals.
What is more important – how click-attractive you site appears on the search results or the total visitors who notice your site but bypasses it?
At the end of the day you want your target market to take action based on what they experience when they get a taste of what is waiting for them on viewing the search results on Google. The key to making it attractive enough for your visitors according to a prominent SEO agency in Oregon known as Moving Mountains Advisors, would be to present them with a snippet (taste of what's to come) that includes:
• Enough specifics such as an image that visually demonstrates what they can expect to find
• How much time it will take them to consume the information presented to them
• Rating as to how well others perceive your product or service
• Offering a video if at all possible that would eliminate any misunderstandings in term of your product or service
Improving Your Search Engine Listings and Getting Click Thru
To make the most out of your search engine optimization efforts, you need to work with a professional SEO business consultant They will assist you in finding the most rewarding aspects of your offer that will attract a large number of impressions, yet a low CTR. Your click thru rate should never be too high as it will allow room for improvement, which is a real good thing.
Optimizing your Google Listings
A Google listing would have a title, the URL as well as a description. The best search engine marketing results can be achieved by optimizing each one of these.
Allow seasoned SEO professionals in Portland like Moving Mountains Advisors to demonstrate how to do this.
Let's start with the title, shall we. You can say it is the most important part of the CTR. However, it can also be the trickiest one to optimize for the search engine and boost your online marketing presence.
Google scrapes the title from the HTML on your page. Low and behold if you do not have a title tag in place as Google will apply their own title to match the relevant search. It is in your best interest to keep it short and pertinent. Rest assured, Google will not tolerate a title longer than around 55 characters.
If at all possible, you should start your title with the keyword you are targeting. You have more chances of ranking better if you place your title close to the beginning of your title.
Then again, searchers tend to skim and only notice the first 20 characters of your listing. Last, but not least, you need to ensure your title appeals to your readers. Else they will not bother opening it.
You may have heard it a hundred times already. But guard against keyword stuffing. The latest search engine optimization strategies implemented by a reputed SEO consultant involved taking a look at what competitors would use for keywords. You can learn a thing or two once you notice how they optimize the titles they use. There is no harm in borrowing from them as long as you do not copy it word for word.
When it comes to URLs, there is not too much needed to get it listed. Your URL need to be concise, clear and descriptive. As long as the URL has your keywords in it and give a brief description of your page, you will be fine.
Similar in nature to titles, Google will show the Meta description as a snippet, briefly describing what the reader get to take away from what you have to offer them. It should catch the reader's attention immediately. SEO specialists in Portland will advise you to keep the Meta description under 155 characters. You need to make a bold statement that is clear and to the point.

cloud NAS (cloud network attached storage)
Cloud NAS (network attached storage) is remote storage that is accessed over the Internet as if it was local. The storage is usually hosted by a third-party service provider, who charges the customer a fee based on capacity and bandwidth. In the enterprise, the off-site storage might be proprietary, but the chargeback method would be similar.
Cloud storage face-off: Public cloud vs. private cloud vs. hybrid cloud storage
Every cloud storage option has its pros and cons. Depending on your specific needs, the size of your environment, and your budget, it's essential to weigh all cloud and on-prem options. Download this comprehensive guide in which experts analyze and evaluate each cloud storage option available today so you can decide which cloud model – public, private, or hybrid – is right for you.

A cloud NAS storage-as-a-service is often used for backups and archiving. A key benefit is that data in the cloud can be accessed at any time from any place. The main drawback, however, is that the data transfer rate (DTR) is only as fast as the network connection the data is accessed over.

Randy Shaw: Graeber sees MoveOn.org, Rebuild the Dream, and other groups associated with the "left wing of the Democratic Party" as betraying the Occupy movement by not opposing police closures of Occupy camps.
Occupy the Ballot Forum and Independent Politics
Dan Bluemel: Because of its electoral structure, the U.S. political system has never been welcoming to third parties. Some critics have argued this leaves the political landscape entrenched in a system comprised of moderates and hardliners who, in essence, espouse the same ideology.
How Not to Be a Union
Ann Robertson and Bill Leumer: It is not too late for organized labor to execute a turn away from electing Democrats and reaffirm its roots with massive demonstrations in the streets.

Useful Examples for Occupy from the Great Depression
Mark Naison: The "grunt work" of organizing Depression Era protests — at least until 1936 — was done by radicals who for the most part eschewed, or de emphasized electoral politics.
50 Million Will March
Brent Budowsky: I believe that the first big winner of the 2012 campaign is the Occupy Wall Street movement, whether or not it participates in electoral politics.
Labor Needs Organizing, Not Politics
Randy Shaw: Many feel that unions have invested far too much time and money in electoral work that has not produced promised results, at the expense of ongoing worker organizing to build membership.
Slum Housing: LA's Hidden Health Crisis and a Model Response
Diane Lefer: Slum housing has a negative impact on residents' health–even when the building doesn't collapse on top of you while you sleep which is what happened to some tenants of slumlord Frank McHugh. But today, more than 3,000 low-income families enjoy better health and almost as many now live in improved housing thanks to the Healthy Neighborhoods, Same Neighbors Collaborative, a groundbreaking partnership among community organizers, grassroots nonprofits, and tenants from South Los Angeles and downtown, all working in coordination with city and county agencies, legal professionals and health care providers.
