News12 video interview
Contesting the accuracy of various press releases or public statements from public officials may in fact reveal interesting facts of a cover up or a deliberate attempt to distract and divert the attention to something else. The tactic works well and is commonly called a “smoke and mirror” game by some.
The truth is often buried as the evidence to contest the released information exists but suppressed through fear and intimidation of witnesses or participants. Those that knew about the events will not say what the evidence to the contrary is and leave a “sleeping dog lay” so they don’t have to be involved. Hence there are no contradictions and no issues to resolve.
When a press release is offered as an explanation of an incident it is often left open for interpretation as it flatly denies any culpability or prior knowledge of the matter but is now politically corrected to show action is about to be taken or has been taken to address the matter. The strategy is simple – people forget.
Plausible deniability is a strong management tool. It exonerates the very same people that might have created the problem or event by playing the part and being ignorant to the facts. You can tell people that you weren’t aware of the problem and that you will immediately address it now that they understand it better.
Playing the part of having no prior knowledge gives them more time to perform a delicate sanitizing of the problem and initiate damage control.
Realistically, as a loyal employee one would have a hard time believing they didn’t know about it and that nobody bothered to tell him of this matter when they knew about it. It appears to have appeared out of thin air and will now require a strategy of planning, execution and implementing change after it was over or disclosed and first found out about it.
Why Lie?
Watching the news we have become desensitized to the good, the bad and the
ugliness of the reports shown on television and in the newspapers. We have been
reprogrammed to not react and let it pass as another event insignificant to our
own lives. Society has accepted lies as a means to tell the story and nobody
questions the contents of the reports out there and challenge it with the
truth.
