Controlling the 'Mark' after a Con Trick
Is this what we're seeing in the MSM re vaccine injuries?
Are we witnessing Goffman’s con man playbook in real life? The con men are disappearing but leaving a few of their men in place to manage the public anger. Are the recent revelations a carefully managed release, just enough to keep the victims reassured?
A couple of comments from yesterday’s ‘excess deaths’ post got me thinking.

So governments won’t investigate themselves (to avoid liability and narrative collapse) and they are worried about civil unrest if the population thinks they have been lied to.
But what do they do if the truth becomes too big to hide? Too many stories on social media and too many empirical observations of people getting sick or ill or dying. Excess death numbers reaching new highs. Trying to sweep it under the carpet is no longer doing the trick. What to do?
I may just be too suspicious for my own good but some things have not felt right recently. Well things haven’t felt right for a long time but recently it has felt like things are being increasingly manipulated.

In a 1952 article called “On Cooling the Mark Out: Some Aspects of Adaptation to Failure”, Goffman took a close look at confidence (con) men and how they would manipulate their ‘marks’. They allowed the ‘marks’ to win at first before conning them into transferring over their life savings. Once the money was transferred, some ‘accident’ would occur and the con men would disappear with all the ‘mark’s’ money. But the thing that is relevant to my article today, is what happened once the con men disappeared.

Is this what we're currently witnessing with the BBC ‘accidentally’ letting Aseem Malhotra talk about vaccine harms? Is Elon Musk tweeting about it to make it seem normal? I’m not saying that this is what is happening or that either are complicit, just that information has been heavily supressed over the last few years so when suddenly it is ‘allowed’ to appear, I question why.
Maybe this is all to conspiratorial. It would take too much planning and keeping people quiet for the above scenario to happen. However, the planning part has already been taking care of.
In March 2020, John Hopkins - Bloomberg School of Public Health published “The SPARS Pandemic 2025-2028: A Futuristic Scenario to Facilitate Medical Countermeasure Communication”.
Chapter 17 looks at vaccine injuries and messages that specifically address the topics of adverse side effects. It also looks at how to improve health authorities’ ability to respond to public distress about medical issues after a vaccination campaign.
Then chapter 18 deals with ‘acknowledging loss’. In the fictional scenario there is growing negative public opinion regarding the vaccines and the government’s perceived indifference to victims of the public health response to SPARS.
However, people are increasingly worried about the long-term effects of the new vaccine. Therefore waiting until the science is clear is not an option.
It was decided to devise behavioural guidance on how to strengthen the public’s coping skills, provide support for grieving individuals, encourage a forward direction and meet other SPARS recovery needs.
The President would go on air to acknowledge the emotional toll of the pandemic and give his gratitude to the people for remaining strong. He would also convey his appreciation for adhering to public health recommendations, including vaccination, to hasten the end of the pandemic in the face of considerable uncertainty.
Numerous politicians connected with the vaccination programme and health officials have resigned recently. Many of them, even though they are still young, have indicated that they won’t continue in public facing positions. Jacinda Arden is the latest. Does this resignation speech sound like a person who has decided to leave a job they love on their own accord? Yes the polls were terrible but it is a shock to everyone that she is quitting politics for good.
