The Golden Chain authenticity. Most accounts are vague on what year the Golden Chain document was written; some say 1988 but U.S. counter-terrorism advisor Richard A. Clarke says it dates from 1989. The "Golden Chain" was presented by the U.S. government in the criminal case "United States v. Arnaout" filed on January 29, 2003, and in other legal filings, which would cause its veracity and meaning to be brought under further scrutiny. The names include: Adel Batterjee is a wealthy Saudi businessman who is also the founder of both BIF and its predecessor, Lajnatt Al-Birr Al-Islamiah. He appears to be mentioned three times.
Poisonous pedagogy Poisonous pedagogy In sociology and psychology, poisonous pedagogy, also called black pedagogy (from the original German name "schwarze Pädagogik"), is any traditional child-raising methods which modern pedagogy considers repressive and harmful. It includes behaviours and communication that theorists consider to be manipulative or violent, such as corporal punishment. The concept was first introduced by Katharina Rutschky in her 1977 work "Schwarze Pädagogik. Quellen zur Naturgeschichte der bürgerlichen Erziehung". The psychologist Alice Miller used the concept to describe child-raising approaches that, she believed, damage a child's emotional development. Miller claims that this alleged emotional damage promotes adult behavior harmful to individuals.
