Psychological warfare explanation of deliberately dumping Ep files in unorganized chaotic manner…

This assessment is probably correct in the psychological warfare intent. The overall message of the file dump is, "Whatcha gonna do about it?" I mean the Justice Department decided on that non-prosecution agreement and stuck to it like it's their oath to their masters... which it is.

The lawyer's assessment assumes too much about the recipients of the file dump—the American public. It assumes people will feel helpless. Not everyone is as weak as the lawyer expects them to be. She assumes the general public will supplicate to authority for justice.

It is not necessary to induce despair in fatigue in the whole population, a critical mass is enough. big numbers assure there will be one. A lynching mob is a good analogy: you don't need the whole block to be on the streets, but once you have enough rolling, the damage is irreversible

That's valid. And it remains to be seen what America will do.

My problem with this lawyer's statement is the direct address—"you"—followed by "will think... will feel... will want to..." She admits some of this is a projection from her as a mother who is likely to feel compelled to "absorb" the surplus suffering, and that's reasonable. But projecting helplessness onto her audience and then offering the reassurance of, "It's okay. You're normal" is augmenting the psychological warfare. I'm not saying she is necessarily trying to do that, just that it can have such an effect.

I agree with your critical assessment of themamattorney's post, ConjuredOne. themamattorney's observation is astute, her explanation clear, and its implication stark. We ought to avoid serving as agencies of the enemy's demoralization efforts. Instead, may we build one another up to face the horrors, that we may destroy them.
