Spooks - Jan Theuninck, 2010

Spooks - 2010

the practice of making accusations  without proper regard for evidence !
In der Politik ist der Red Herring eine Propagandainstrument, um den Gegner oder dessen Bevölkerung zu desinformieren. Ebenso wird er zur Diskreditierung eines Gegners gegenüber der eigenen Bevölkerung genutzt.

SPOOKS are used to say that other people see ghosts and thus betray themselves...
SPOOKS zijn het gewoon te zeggen dat andere mensen spoken zien en daarmee verraden ze zichzelf....



How it works....
<<Severe personality problems find *camouflage.* No one thinks "I'm a sadist" or "I'm a malignant narcissist."
They find a belief system/social group that validates their most hateful, destructive impulses & construes them as virtues.
The most toxic and hateful people in the world are 100% convinced they fight for what is true and right.
For colleagues looking for more theoretical explanation, the psychological processes are splitting, projection & projective identification. Splitting means not recognizing one's own capacity for hate, cruelty, and destructiveness. The person is blind to the bad in themselves.
Instead, they project the badness onto some designated other. And this other person, via the defense of projection, is now seen as the repository of all that is bad and evil and necessary to destroy. That's the projection.
The person now feels fully justified in unleashing
their viciousness and hate on the other person, who is now seen (via projection) as someone monstrous who must be destroyed. If the person who is projected on responds to the provocation with anger, this is now seen as further confirmation of how hateful and destructive they are (this is what is called is "projective identification.") The end result is that the person can deny their own sadism, cruelty, and hate—while simultaneously acting it out without restraint. And feel themselves to be 100% on the side of truth and right as they do it.>>
