Prabhupada, Montreal, July 9, 1968: […] If a person is a brāhmaṇa, then his natural qualification will be like this. What is that? Satyam: he is truthful. In any circumstances he will be truthful. Even to an enemy he will disclose the secret, “This is the fact.” That is truthfulness, not that I am very truthful, but when my interest is jeopardized, I tell lie. That is not truthfulness. Truthfulness means at any circumstances one will speak the plain truth. That is truthfulness. Satya sama. Satya śaucam. Śaucam, cleanliness. (Full Lecture)

Ten Ways To Tell If Someone Is Lying To You
by Elisabeth Eaves
Cops, spies and psychologists share their deception-spotting tricks.
In business, politics and romance, it would be nice to know when we’re being lied to. Unfortunately humans aren’t very good at detecting lies. Our natural tendency is to trust others, and for day-to-day, low-stakes interactions, that makes sense. We save time and energy by taking statements like “I saw that movie” or “I like your haircut” at face value.
But while it would be too much work to analyze every interaction for signs of deception, there are times when we really need to know if we’re getting the straight story. Maybe a crucial negotiation depends on knowing the truth, or we’ve been lied to and want to find out if it’s part of a pattern.
In fact, being able to distinguish lies from truth is important not just in our personal lives but in the economy at large. Trust lubricates virtually every transaction we undertake. In fact, trust is worth trillions of dollars a year in the United States alone. (See: “The Economics of Trust.”) It’s no stretch to argue that by reducing trust, liars make us collectively poorer.
In Pictures: Ten Ways To Tell If Someone Is Lying To You
Lies told on the printed page or on a TV screen may be the hardest to detect. When a journalist at a respected publication tells a tall tale–like the New York Times’ Jayson Blair or The New Republic’s Stephen Glass–those of us without reams of time on our hands aren’t likely to uncover it on our own. (See: “Trusting The Media.”) The same goes for deceptive campaign advertisements. Fortunately, at least in the case of politics, we can rely on nonprofit, nonpartisan organizations like Factcheck.org, to review the veracity of political claims coming from both sides of the aisle.
Face to face it’s easier to make our own judgments about whether someone is telling the truth. Psychologists who study deception, though, are quick to warn that there is no foolproof method. Bella DePaulo, a visiting professor of psychology at the University of California, Santa Barbara, writes that “lying is not a distinct psychological process with its own unique behavioral indicators. It does matter how liars feel and how they think.” Indeed, many of the tell-tale signs common to liars, like fidgeting and sweating, can also be signs of ordinary anxiety. It’s tough to tell the difference between a liar and an honest person who happens to be under a lot of stress.
That said, police officers and spies use a slew of interrogation tricks that the rest of us can adopt to improve our detection odds. The professionals look and listen for signs of nervousness, and pay close attention to the content of a suspect’s story. Does it contain a lot of detail? Does it stay consistent through repeated tellings?
Of course, there will always be those who have honed their deception skills to perfection, and they’re never easy to catch. Hardened criminals, especially ones who have been interrogated dozens of times, get better and better at lying, says 20-year New York Police Department veteran Derrick Parker. Magicians also know how to deceive by exhibiting a pleasant manner and relying on spectators’ assumptions. (See: “In Defense of Trust.”)
For most of us, though, it’s not magicians or criminal masterminds we need to worry about when it comes to detecting deceivers. In fact, we should be most on guard against ourselves. “Often we don’t want to know when somebody is lying,” explains University of Massachusetts psychology professor Robert Feldman. In short, we are programmed to believe compliments and avoid painful truths, both of which make a liar’s task much easier.

navami ki jai,
SRILA PRABHUPADA as a transcendental visionary could see if someone was lying or if someone was truthful,for example all the guru hoaxers are lying but the mudhas still accept a conditioned soul without any vaisnava background history in the succession of the guru parampara chain system because of their nasty misconception regarding the real guru tattvam,
all these temporaries living dead in the guise of diksa guru are very sinful because they make themselves to be worship on the altar of our pukka sampradaya by their stupids disciples,therefore we can say that they are shameless in the way back to the hellish planets including all their fake disciples ,
as we can see through the factor time all the avidya of all these pretenders and betrayers of SRILA PRABHUPADA are completely trapped in the bodily concept of life they are all liars because they can’t save even themselves from the cycle of birth and death and ignorants people still worship them on our altar anyway SRI KALO SMI will do it i mean iskcon is not for liars cheaters etc… dharmo projjita kaitavo tra param nirmatsaram satam

As I have already said in previous comments the mainstream media is practically ALL run by Freemason Illuminati Zionists who are ALL under the control of The Rothschilds. The CEO of Forbes Michael S Pervis who previously worked for Playboy and also Ziff Davis (which is an extreme right wing Zionist organization).
“Fact Check” is funded by The Annenberg Foundation and Claims to be “partisan” which is complete and utter nonsense. Walter H Annenberg, a member of the Illuminati ‘Pilgrims Society’ who’s members include Queen Elisabeth, Lord Mountbatten, Henry Kissinger, Rockerfeller, Rothschilds. Carnegie, Thatcher, Prince Phillip etc etc. They are all pro Zionist, Anglo-American, white Protestants (USA-Episcopalian).
The USA has ALWAYS been under the control of England and Europe through this Anglo- American Illuminati connection which ‘masks’ itself as a “friendship dinner club” The Queen ‘masks’ herself as a kind of ”ceremonial monarch” but in reality is the High Priestess of the 33 Degree Scottish Right Freemason Illuminati (The Duke of Kent is the male High Priest of the same). Her name is not Windsor it is Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. The Dukes real name is Schlezwig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glucksberg. Mounbattens (deceased) real name was Battenberg. The duchess of Kent;s father was an SS Nazi Officer.
If you really want THE FACTS you have to research ALL information and and the persons who are ‘writing the story’. You also have to research who is behind the media, owners, CEO, editors etc etc. Just going to ”Fact Check”, that is just for the MASSES OF IDIOTS AND FOOLS THAT INHABIT THIS PLANET AND CAN’T THINK FOR THEMSELVES. ”Fact Check” is ALL pro Zionist Illuminati Media propaganda bullshit designed for the masses of brain-dead, brainwashed, manipulated, comatosed, meatheads who are ”mind controlled” by The Illuminati by design. All the wars (for the last 200 years), revolutions (French, Russian, Mexican, Spanish, American, etc) and All the “financial collapses, monetary crisis, inflation”
are All CREATED AND CONTROLLED BY THE ZIONIST FREEMASON ILLUMINATI and controlled and managed by the Rothschilds.
Washington and Franklin were both Freemason Illuminati. Washington “pretended” to be anti British but was given The Order Of The Garter by the British Sovereign. Franklin had both a house in Paris and London also and was a member of ‘The Hellfire Club’ which was Satanic, involving pedophilia and child sacrifices and toture. When they were renovating his house (in London) a few years ago they found 10 bodies under the floor (most were children) and were carbon dated to the time he was resident there.
The Rothschilds control the USA from Europe and the CIA (formed in1948) was created from British Intelligence (which was created in the reign of Elisabeth the 1st). They create the ”different” political parties and pick all the leaders, rigging ALL THE ”ELECTIONS” and are expert at ‘social manipulation’ of all the media outlets to condition the gullible goyim. They are all liars, criminals and parasites.

i’m sure that SRI SRI GURU GAURANGA will sent on this planet a serial killer to clean up this corrupted society ,the christians also are still waiting for LORD JESUS CHRIST to come on this planet again but not to preach but to kill,we are lucky that the paramatma is in every heart and in every atom therefore all these liars criminals etc.. can’t escape from their nasty jail by any meaning they have to suffer very badily in the hell as soon as they leave their sinful bodies as soon as the yamadutas come to take them to patala-loka, then moghasa mogha karmano they will be defeated live after life kalpa after kalpa until they surrender by giving up the evil and sinful life as many jagai and madai already done,
one have to pass through the bitter test of SRI MAYA DEVI first to start the spiritual life through amanitvam humility that’s the first step to do because as we can see from the sastra arrogance proud etc.. are the qualities of the demons and in this kali yuga they take birth in brahmana family but their activities are ugram karma horrible activities ,
SRI GAURANGA MAHAPRABHU already changed many things including another global was because this spiritual movement must go on for another 9.500 years and nobody can stop this PARAM VIJAYATE SRI KRSNA SANKIRTANAM therefore all the not ordinary demons stored within this small golden age will be defeated by not ordinary vaisnava teja power and they will take birth with mystic power say SRILA PRABHUPADA the sons of the sons of our sons will take birth with mystic power to kill the big demons that has still to come but all this is already stored in the transcendental body of SRI SYAMA-SUNDARAM SRI ASAMAURDVAM ,
so many great civilizations already disappeared in that not ordinary body of SRI KRSNA the yadu dynasty was very powerful by being the sons of SRI YADUNATH but they gone too we are just trying to get perfection before this golden chance will be over and all the demons will be dead,
