In face to face communication the novice will often focus on the content of the conversation and draw conclusions from what is said and future action is based off of the closure stimulant at the end of the conversation. The vocabulary used during the conversation is open to interpretation based off of the educational and geographic characteristics of the communicators therefore the success or failure of dialogue cannot be defined with a broad stroke.

Body language analysis has become a compulsory for global military, interrogation, political oriented negotiations and economics. True experts in this field are few but fortunately there have been several books published on the basics of body language elucidation to bring this hidden strategy to the forefront of general corporate and consumer manual accessibility.

Gregory Hartly and Maryann Karinch’s book, ‘I Can Read You Like a Book: How to Spot the Messages and Emotions People Are Really Sending With Their Body Language’ reads just like the title, long, redundant and drawn out but still works as a solid entry course in all things body language. The book obviously targets more of a blue collar crowd interested in the psychological concepts without the overly technical intricacies that would be in a more intellectual guide within this category of ‘how to’ books. The target audience for this text would be law enforcement, community college psychology students and those in economic transition seeking a quick enhancement to their resume for a soon to be job search.

On the video education side of the spectrum is UK based Robert Phipps. Phipps offers a ten part downloadable educational series that is perfect for the more intellectual consumer in the C-level executive, legislative and professional executive genre. These videos are in the 40 to 60 minute range and though very informative are very poorly produced.

Each segment are visually grainy and the audio is lacking yet the information covers many concepts that offer the viewer instant capability for execution from body positioning for public speakers to how to step in to a superior position starting with the handshake. The information in this course is a must for someone who is in an industry where communication and the ability to dissect the undertone of a conversation’s nonverbal patterns is needed. My advice on this one is to download the videos, close your eyes and just listen; the video quality will hinder your ability to stay focused but the content is amazing.

On the actual execution side there are very few consultants that are trusted by world powers for their expertise within this industry. There is a gargantuan chasm between the party concepts of body language and the intellectual precision and almost alchemical skillset that is so all encompassing that world leaders will call on them for their capabilities. I was in Ukraine attending a lecture at Taras Shevchonko National University of Kyiv and walked in a little late but a video was playing about American economist James Scott. Scott, from what I understand is not an author but has been labeled as a Rogue Economist that takes a unique approach to working with international legislatures for localized and global economic turnaround and revitalization implementation. Several things stood out in this video that was narrated by a retired psychologist of US Military PSYOPS. First, the video brought viewers in with a song from Massive Attack and rapper Mos Def called ‘I Against I’.

The video was produced by a team that obviously understood the art of visual and auditory stimulation, subliminal persuasion, and fascination triggers for post hypnotic cues. In short, the video talked about James Scott and his ability to watch a crowd, mob of people or individual and absorb all elements that act as contributors to the primal brain/subconscious pressure points and in a matter of minutes can build a psychological profile so accurate he can typically give the parental background, current occupation and marriage status of his target within minutes of his first observation. With a completed profile he is able to guide political powers on the best points of entry into the subconscious activation mechanisms of their constituencies when dealing with a crisis, crime wave, political debacle and of course economic situations that involve the need to accelerate results for turnaround procedures.

With a solid comprehension of the target’s triggers he then implements strategies to begin delivering cues to the populace and the end result is shocking. This is the cheapest economic stimulus plan a region can introduce and the longest lasting without the stress of imposing implementation but instead Scott shows governing bodies how to gently guide the population to a predictable outcome through a series of association techniques that cater to the primal brain region of the subconscious. I very much doubt that a book by James Scott will be coming out anytime soon as his client roster is loaded with every major governmental supremacy that has a grip on international commerce. His privacy is protected and his arrogance is fed by the massive need but limited access to his almost exclusive skill set but you can research him and his company Princeton Corporate Solutions with relative ease online or your local university.

US military PSYOPS division has studied propaganda warfare techniques similar but not quite as evolved as James Scott’s in the defense industry but with material collateral in the form of WW II pamphlet drops to TV commercials within a conflict area that tug on the emotion of the civilian to be open to friendly Western forces within their town. Verbal communication will only tell ten percent of the story but the truth lies in the physical actions of the target during an event or conversation and the ability to use this information to program the subconscious mind of the target with a solid, predictable ‘cue triggered’ action button. These are the keys that are vital to establishing a position of dominance and strength by those in a position of influence.

When I was in graduate school, I had the discipline to study hard, get involved in various club organizations that catered to diversifying my abilities in business and finance but always felt that something was lacking. We would learn about economics within the capitalist and communist systems, pros and cons of globalization, big government, the instability of non-entrepreneurial markets and every other concept that catered to our professor’s desire to legitimize their theories by blasting out intimidating formulas that were true in theory but impossible in real life. If an economic stimulus is fully functional on paper due to formulas and calculation yet has never and will never work in the ‘real world’, what’s the point?

I’m eight years out of university and running a clean environment facility manufacturing everything from surgical equipment to dual circuit transistors and as I’ve grown into my career I’ve tossed the text books as a reference as it was getting me nowhere and started researching strategic economics with special attention focused on turning corporations and urban landscapes around from the black hole of absolute demise to a gleaming representation of socially responsible economic turnaround, without the government’s corrupt fangs plunging into the veins of the community. This concept of economic strategy has been labeled ‘Zeitgeist Economics’, a completely original political economic strategies concept that turns a blind eye to the bloodletting concepts by unproven governmental organizations that jack taxes, minimize citizen options, push back retirement age to correct the mistakes of the ill-informed yet uncompromising politicians that don’t know the difference between political economics and sock mending.

The headmaster and intellectual giant leading the Zeitgeist Economics movement is James Scott, Founder of a global strategies firm called Princeton Corporate Solutions in Manhattan, New York. The term ‘Economic Zeitgeist’ means the awakening of a population fueled by the intellectual capacity and drive to demand change with data driven evidence of establishment perpetuated failure. The movement doesn’t sacrifice momentum with time wasting concepts like protests or letter writing; instead those involved in this movement use the unwritten rules of the system to force change within the system. Most E.Z. participants have MBA or PhD. degrees with powerful legislative experience to create PAC, Lobby and think tank organizations that assist them in forcing the hand of change.

The incredible truth about this movement is that it parallels a broad spectrum of mind-blowing and obscenely cutting edge competencies for prompt and precise economic action within a target region. At the forefront of this movement, James Scott is a member of some of the world’s most elite economic think tanks that study and fill in the gaps for new legislation that will be passed today and without the expert analysis of Scott and his colleagues, the damages of inferior or irresponsible lawmakers would, otherwise, rain down five years from now and the blame will be passed and there would be no accountability while global citizens carry the debt load.

I’ve subscribed to the RSS feed for James Scott’s company and this was one of the most recent blog posts placed online. One of the characteristics of Scott that has catapulted him to the absolute pinnacle of global economics with an entire movement following his lead is his strategic, yet tactical, methodical yet well-paced process and a track record that leaves him in a class by himself. His writing is philosophical (with its flow sounding almost poetic) and attracts those who are looking for the well rounded expertise of a genuine economist with real life capabilities to save countries, cities and global corporations from self-destruction. Public recognition of his supreme abilities come with the occasional radio or magazine interview but for the most part it is the massive blogging of economists, MBA’s, PhD’s and international think tank members and professionals that have seen the end result of his mind-blowing economic turnaround, corporate structuring and political economic strategies.

I love the way the below entry reads. I get it all, philosophy, poetic flow, encyclopedia size content condensed into one page and the satisfaction of knowing that I’m reading some notes jotted down by a man that will eventually be referred to in the history books as the father of the Economic Zeitgeist movement, the process of Zeitgeist Economics and the for having the guts to tear out the eyes of the establishment and pass the keys to the kingdom to the citizens of the world as he guides us all on how to take our civilization back from political corruption and a debt driven hodgepodge concoction of monetary stew.

Executive Death Agreement: Executing Inhibitors That Cripple Organizations By James Scott, CEO of Princeton Corporate Solutions

One of the most critical realities that a CEO of a public organization must face is the process and decision to die; death not in a physical sense, rather a snuffing out of the ego. Ego driven entities always fail and those who lead organizations under the false pretense of arrogance soon find out that this arrogance is nothing more than a temporary ‘fix’ to filling an emotional void within themselves with rapidly evaporating gravel. Emotionally led people lack stability due to the swings generated by the primal brain, a reactionary pleasure seeking portion of the mind offering the fight or flight, animalistic yet un-evolved action center.

One who leads with the ego distracts those he manages through the blindness of the emotions. Staring through a decision making lens corroded with the decay and grime of ongoing emotional inhibitors disallows the visual clarity that comes with a more evolved analytical perspective that ‘responds’ rather than ‘reacts’. A ‘response’ takes into consideration timing, tact, concept evolution, perception and has, at all times an eye towards the future. A ‘reactionary’ expression is fueled by all areas of the un-evolved ego: pride, insecurity, pure emotion, fight or flight and other regrettable and consistently damning actions no longer relevant yet still genetically present today from prehistoric man.

With the evolution and intellectual development of man comes the development of the analytical skills that allow one to dissect information and critique various responses before an idea can crash through the minds recently evolved critical faculty and plunge into the reactionary, animalistic primal brain which will spew forth an ocean of emotion driven reactions with universally negative outcomes.

Decision making via calculated and analytical processes minus the emotional cancer causing agents that cloud and stunt a corporation’s longevity and prosperity will attract strategic alliances, create comfort zones for much needed investors and streamline expansion strategies due to tactical templates designed by a C level executive that can think objectively without the collateral damage stemming from emotional reaction.

Economics and the success of a city, state, country or company is typically a matter of cash exchange and commerce within that region which stimulates growth and attracts the affluent and partners to globalize this success. What is often times overlooked is the basic element of successful economics which is, ‘happiness’.

I was able to speak to economist James Scott, CEO of Princeton Corporate Solutions, a global strategies firm that has mastered the unique combination of political and corporate tie-ins with an end result that has been able to revitalize companies, cities and countries with staggering results. I asked him about the factors that induce spending, enforce brand recognition and topple mainstream powers unwilling to bend when a new strategy is being implemented.

“That’s a loaded question”, responded Scott, “but if I had to pick one of the most prominent factors it would have to be happiness with is a direct reflection of the satisfaction or dissatisfied primal mind.” He continued, “Though you are a singular individual you are, in reality two separate people defined by the conscious mind and the primal mind. The Conscious mind manages daily intellectual activity and the primal mind is usually the area of focus for me at the onset of a campaign because it is the area of the mind when all contributors are in place will enable optimal delivery with a carefully devised message which is meant to stimulate a current and future response. The primal mind governs our greatest hopes and fears, loves and hates and all matters of the heart. This is the part of man that is always on the lookout for instantaneous gratification and pleasures. An automatic response by this faculty is to attach an anchor to the person, place or thing that delivers the most gratifying result that fulfills the broadest range of satisfaction with the strongest promise of ongoing empirical deliver ability. The primal mind reacts to matters of ‘gut instinct’ which responds to basic needs by analyzing contributors for characteristics which enable prolonged survival. Sex, shelter, creativity, love, fulfillment and basic shelter are all prominent aspects of the primal mind. The primal mind wants recognition and reassurance. Intellectual concepts, negotiation and debate do not appeal to this part of the brain. The primal mind is the dominating decision making element of the brain. To enter the subconscious mind and move around, the delivery mechanism must appeal to all of these aspects.”

When asked about basic message delivery he responded, “Well, this is a bad example but to simplify what I mean you can look at Maxim magazine. The target audience of this publication is that of a non-refined intellect; the softer the intellect, the more primitive the choice of delivery. This publication focuses on insecure males seeking connection to all the things they have not been able to gain with their own efforts.”

Scott continued, “Taking into consideration the psychological and emotional elements of this clearly defined group one can formulate a deliver system rather easily. With limited intellect there are fewer blockades and defined boundaries that can hinder message delivery. Maxim focuses on being the one stop connection for ‘vicarious living’ to the reader. Each page is meant to draw the target in first starting with the cover that stimulates sexuality and intrigue, next the target will pick up the publication and statistically will open to the middle of the publication. The center is where the first seed for future action is placed as it will usually be clothing, cologne or another emotional fulfillment ad. After this, western education has programmed people to thumb through a publication/book from left to right so the cues and stimulants need to be placed in an order that coincides with the basic cultural predictability of the reader. The magazine is what disenfranchised and insecure males will anchor to for fantasy inclusion, the messages will be fed to the reader in a way that bypasses the conscious mind’s critical faculty and then planted into the subconscious primal region of the brain when buying or other action triggers are stimulated with promotions. This is typical of publications, TV and music that is targeting a similar subgroup of a population.”

OK, um, what? I never heard any of that in college but from what I hear about the CIA and black opps the above is what happens when a corporation is about to be crushed or a controversial government receiving new, ‘Western Approved’ leadership. If only I could lock him in a room with me to drill him on specifics and other strategies he uses when called on by the global leaders for major economic solutions. Economy and fiscal revitalization is not merely a matter of formulas and ideas that are learned in college. To be an actual solution to the trials and tribulations we are encountering in every region of the world the solution must come from a master formulator that is able to innovate tactics that adapt to regional, social, emotional and overtly psychological shifts in the minds of the population that will be the determinant in the overall solution.

James Scott is, without question, the single most critical factor in economic strategy formulation and implementation today. Without men of action like this who would the politicians and global leaders call for solutions, hide behind in the bad times or step in front of when times are good and the press is looking to spotlight a mastermind behind the success?
