I am highly surprised that such actions would be admitted to publicly by someone offering traded services since I am fairly sure that, at least in Britain, numerous of these would be classed as either serious offenses or would be able to be framed as such in the correct context. Emotional harassment springs to mind as a minimum.
I have seen this done to others who dissent from the narrative that certain groups wish to maintain publicly - it is not pretty, but at the same time there is only so much that can be done if those involved are aware of the situation and have taken steps already to ensure they are non dependent on others and prevailing top-down control hierarchies (i.e. are self determined and self reliant). All that said, the last points sound fairly extreme to the point of being militarised levels of attack which suggest those involved to be psychopathic and deranged - so who knows how far they might go.
Right. They were not admitted to publicly.
When I said 'publicly' I was including admitting to the potential victim, since they are especially likely to go public.
I suggest considering that this is a form of social engineering, exploiting you and designed to make Adam look bad - but I don't know for sure.
Have you read the entire story?
Yes - I am just going from the evidence presented, I am aware that you say that you have other evidence that is not being presented, but obviously I can't comment based on that.
When discussing agendas of outright unscrupulous deception and denial, it is essential to look where you are being prompted not to look.
Right, but I am not being prompted to look anywhere, really. If it is an elaborate trap, it is one so elaborate as to trap the creator it would seem. I think maybe you have missed the premise/situation.
However, I see your point, and must keep that possibility in mind.
What I mean is that by presenting a story of a trap with apparent evidence, you are obviously being prompted to look at that evidence and trap - which inherently means you aren't likely to question if the trap is reversed with you as a cog within the trap..
Social engineering relies on deception like this entirely and I find that others are saying that the language being used in the conversation is not reflective of a professional in the industry to be a flag to highlight such a possibility.
I don't know either way - but yes, I am just saying to bare it in mind as a possibility.
I have things I cannot disclose. Those guys are flexing ego.
