  • The practice of professing beliefs, feelings, or virtues that one does not hold or possess; falseness.

  • An act or instance of such falseness.

Origin: from Late Latin hypocrisis, play-acting, pretense

“Hypocrite, n. One who, profession virtues that he does not respect secures the advantage of seeming to be what he despises.” – Ambrose Bierce

“The true hypocrite is the one who ceases to perceive his deception, the one who lies with sincerity” – Andre Gide

“Hypocrisy can afford to be magnificent in its promises, for never intending to go beyond promise, it costs nothing” – Edward Burke

“Corruption and hypocrisy ought not to be inevitable products of democracy, as they undoubtedly are today” – Mahatma Gandhi

“He (Thomas Paine) saw oppression on every hand; injustice everywhere; hypocrisy at the altar; venality on the bench, tyranny on the throne; and with a splendid courage he espoused the cause of the weak against the strong” – Robert Greene Ingersoll

“Woe unto you, scribes and *Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.” – (Matthew 23:14)

*(Note: the word “pharisee” has come into semi-common usage in English to describe a hypocritical and arrogant person who places the letter of the law above its spirit.)

WOMEN’S AUXILIARY VISITS THE OVERLORD HATCHERY

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

(Photo text:  Ethel Parsons (3rd from Left) leads a secret expedition of ladies from the Trenton N.J. Women’s Auxiliary Chapter of The Order of Omega Time Travel Cult to inspect a fetus incubation chamber facility on the planet Draco Alpha IV.  These chambers provide prenatal support for hatchlings of a race of multi-headed dragons known as the OverLords of Delgon who have been amassing their forces to invade Earth in the year 3,468 C.E..  The Overlords “feed” by meticulously and remorselessly torturing the bodies of each of their victims while sucking the spiritual life force from them.
It is hoped that the extinction of the human race by the Overlords can be avoided. However, surprising evidence gathered by The Women’s Auxiliary expedition revealed that the human race has already been infiltrated by The Overlords who have disguised themselves as bankers, priests and politicians.
Armed with the knowledge gathered from Ethel’s expedition it is hoped that the human race can rid our planet of the Overlord infestation now and prevent the painful, lingering death of all human beings when the full-scale invasion of The Overlords reaches Earth.)
