Dwapara Yuga: Blamestorming

Blamestorming is what goes on when a group or society comes together around a particular problem not to find a creative solution but rather to name a convenient scapegoat.

The family of negative thought forms from character assassination to false flag operations to disinformation are the revised expressions of Kali Yuga's materialistic tendencies to murder and massacre.

Similarly, today's crimes are rarely straightforward robberies and murders rather 'the big con' exploiting greed and/or dishonesty in a 'mark' in real estate, stock or business frauds using variations of the following strategy from the 1940's book 'The Big Con', which was the basis for the classic movie 'The Sting':

1. Locating and investigating a well-to-do victim - 'putting the mark up'

2. Gaining the victim's confidence - 'playing the con for him'

3. Steering him to meet the insideman - 'roping the mark'

4. Permitting the insideman to show him how he can make a lot of money dishonestly - 'telling him the tale'

5. Allowing the victim to make a substantial profit - 'giving him the convincer'

6. Determining how much he will invest - 'giving him the breakdown'

7. Sending him home for this amount of money - 'putting him on the send'

8. Playing him against a big store and fleecing him - 'taking off the touch'

9.  Getting him out of the way as quietly as possible - 'blowing him off'

10. Forestalling action by the law - 'putting in the fix'

At the time, the big store was a fake wire room or brokerage, sadly today the business has evolved to such an extent that it is likely to be a legitimate government office, bank, stock or real estate brokerage, with 'the fix' coming from the highest government circles.

As always, if a deal appears too good to be true, it probably is, unfortunately the whole world is reeling from having been taken on a particularly long con, itself emphasizing the more mental and less physical nature of our current age.
