How "Kompromat" Works.
Catching people in compromising positions, then blackmailing them is only ONE aspect of Kompromat.
Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen here explains the essential aspect of Kompromat.
In M Cohen’s story, it's a person (Trump) creating the Kompromat.
As Peter Jukes in
has pointed out, a Kompromat can also be a "thing" like "loyalty to Brexit." And by analogy "loyalty to Trump/Trumpism/GOP/...."In Ukraine 2014-2022, France, Germany, US and Russia had created "Minsk Peace process" as Kompromat for Ukraine - Ukraine observed its Minsk obligations, while escaping that Kompromat troll.
So, there IS hope that if you can understand when someone is trying to entrap you using your own vulnerability (loyalty to fears or to someone or thing you love), you might escape the troll.
All of us in our lives face these Kompromat situations.
Sometimes they're innocuous, cute, and welcome when, say, someone we love persuades us to do something unharmful we wouldn't otherwise have done.
Yet, anyone who supported/voted/advocated for Trump, Trumpism, Brexit, or trusted Brexiteers like self-declared pantomime villains like Mogg, Braverman, Farage, etc is a victim of a malign Kompromat operation.
In fact when your local Waitrose has no fruit or vegetables, this is the result of oodles of people (many naively or innocently) being held to ransom over their loyalty to "Brexit."
Kompromats are always designed by Trump-like pantomime villains, and M Cohen here nails how it works on a micro-level.
Michael Cohen:
"...Anyone and everyone who works with Donald [supports Trumpism/Brexit/Brexiteers/...] becomes corrupted.
"You're obligated based on this Jedi loyalty mind trick that somehow overcomes everyone... Your goal is to protect the idiot [Brexit] from himself.
"And in so doing you put yourself in harms way [no fruit in Waitrose; no migrants to pick fruit; American made Ungreat Again;...].
"And Donald [Brexiteers] doesn't give a 💩 if you're in harms way.
"He [Brexiteers/Ruschia] will use it [your loyalty to a troll, which compromises you] to his benefit.
"Because that's the goal all along.
"To extricate him [Brexiteers/Tory Party/Ruschia/...] from his mistakes.
"To put his mistakes on the back of someone else [Waitrose shopper/Labour Party/Scots/Welsh/Remoaners/genocide victims/Brexit/...].
"Including if that means prison time [or no freedom of movement for English residents or fruit in Waitrose].
"He doesn't give a 💩 if it's his kids, wife, lawyers, mom, his Dad, [his country/Ukrainians/]. It's all about him."
On a macro level, if you voted for Trump or Brexit, knowing they called ALL Outer Realm migrants to Inner Realm America/England r***ists and criminals, that was the moment you lost your souls to the devil.
There is salvation though.
First, understand how this Disinfolklore works - see
(http://www.bylinesupplement.com/p/disinfolklore)
The "Jedi mind trick" of which M Cohen speaks is emotionally resonant Disinfolklore. Ruschists are brilliant at co-opting stories that Kompromat people like you or me. Trump too. Johnson.
Here's a case study of how to escape from an attempt to Kompromat someone and in fact a whole country....
What can you do, after you realise you're being held to ransom by a Kompromat?
President Zelenskyy's astute escape from Trump's attempt to hold him to ransom (no Javelins unless you announce an investigation into the Hunter Biden Kompromat operation (that Russia engineered precisely to entrap Ukraine and help Trump hack the democratic system (globally and in America))) shows that we CAN escape VERY sophisticated Kompromat attempts.
Trump got impeached for that failed Kompromat operation.
Then, Trump further entraps his naive supporters by compromising them with incantations like "Hunter Biden Laptop" or "Hilary's Emails."
Likewise, extremist Brexiteers chant their incantations, which hold England to ransom.
