Edit: And here's the full 2 hour audio
That's not actually what Project Veritas is saying. Let's be very clear about this:
Veritas is alleging that the Witness was intimidated and coerced during an interrogation.
The witness has said that the USPS IG interrogators were basically grilling him on his statements.
The witness says he did not recant his statement
The Washington Post claims that the witness recanted his statement citing an unnamed source. No shit. Also, a tweet by the Democrats on the House Oversight Committee. Let me be clear about that, not the House Oversight Committee... just the Democrats on it. Literally: genuine propaganda.
God speed, devil. You're in the shit now.
So the media has decided that if they can't get a witness to go back on their statements they'l find someone to do so for them?
They're really going all-out on constructing an alternate reality here, aren't they?
Not only that, Twitter is trying to use the Washington Examiner to bolster WaPo's claim.
We are in a genuine information war.
At what point are they counted as being in a conspiracy to overthrow the government of the US?
I don't like being hyperbolic but it looks like, having campaigned against the US president for four years - not something that usually appears in any corporate planning - they're now trying to bolster what appears to be a fraudlently-won presidency.
That's a really good question, honestly.
It's a very crowded 1st place ;)
The problem is you’re still looking at wapo as a newspaper when it’s really an arm of Bezos and Amazon’s PR apparatus. As long as Amazon is making trillions and Democrats are scared of losing the “slay queen” crowd on twitter, wapo will exist
I'd also like to point out that Twitter is pushing this on their Trending tab when you go looking:
Pure disinformation. The Washington Examiner didn't report that the witness recanted. They reported that the Washington Post claimed he recanted. They also reported what the Committee Dems twitter account claimed. They did point out that the witness claims he DID NOT recant.
They covered the story honestly, and Twitter is trying to use them to spread disinformation.
See, this is the sort of freedom of speech Twitter can really get behind.
You can say whatever you want, and Twitter will say that you said what they want you to have said instead!
Yep, and that's where the slight disinfo in my title came from. Misunderstood the situation at the time of posting. Just wanted to share this with the people here who'd be interested.
Thanks for the clarification posts!
I hate this shit, it's absolutely nothing but lies.
While I don't know that it's a stress tactic to implant a memory, it's absolutely a stress tactic to undermine his memory.
Is that even what that was? To me, the clip they played sounded a lot like when someone at my work wants us to do some shady shit (which is often) and is informing us of that without saying it explicitly, so as to maintain some kind of plausible deniability.
In other words, it sounded like the interrogator guy was basically subtly instructing the whistleblower to lie to calm this situation down.
It's hard to know without the full interrogation to be honest. We'd need to listen to the whole thing get an idea where he's trying to go.
Yeah, in this case some additional context would be helpful to understand what’s going on. We’ll see what else comes out. Either way it doesn’t reflect well on the USPS
It looks worse on the USPS Inspector General's office, too. Normally, those guys are pretty good. This, however, is pure partisan hackery.
I have a lot of experience in the topic of psychological manipulation and social propaganda.
What the guy here is doing is basically a refined version of an old mafia tactic when you want somebody to shut their mouth but can't afford to be obvious about it.
He's not-so-subtly giving his mark a way out while very obviously trying to convince him that what he did was wrong. The idea is that you put yourself in a position of authority over the other person, slowly feed them and ramp up the idea that they made a mistake, then offer to help "correct" it. Otherwise, they might meet some misfortune.
By abusing certain aspects of human psychology you can get most people to play along with the scenario.
Think of it as the upscale version of, "Oh what nice windows/kneecaps ya get there, be an awful shame something were to happen to em? Why don't ya help me out so I can help you out."
I was going to say that this is something you could see in a lot of interrogation videos. I wouldn't call it planting a memory, but they certainly are driving the conversation in a specific direction to get him to speak against his own claim, or get him to agree to the invalidity of his own claim... using all the same tactics you speak of.
