I draw two conclusions. Either this is yet more prevarication with the powers-that-be yet again talking up the situation; or certain individuals, by accident or design, do indeed know the truth and have been granted knowledge which is denied to the rest of us.

This whole sordid business will have consequences.

That ace propagandist Joachim von Ribbentrop...although God forbid anyone should think that I would ever compare anyone at Accrington Stanley with this monster.....had, in his opinion, a sure-fire way of 'putting Representatives of Nations, his enemies, and his own people off!)...This was to :-

1). Sit them comfortably and show them great hospitality!..

2) Tell them just enough in a manner to make them feel that what they were hearing was the whole truth.!..

3.) Reinforce this with a promise to inform them immediately of any changes which might affect anything which they had just heard !

and 4)..Make them feel that what they had been told was for their consideration only...this to send them away with a slight feeling of superiority at being privy to the imparted knowledge !!!.

This ruse has been known to surface in the world of both Diplomatic and Industrial Espionage on many occasions....and proved to be a more than successful way of 'keeping your opponents Happy!.

Theorists have also suggested that some individuals have these nefarious skills inborn, and find it easy to apply them without thinking!!....

Just thought you'd like to know!!
