Has anyone posted documentary recs on here? I saw someone post recently about cold case hammarskjöld so i'll check that out but does anyone else have anything? I watched the Mirage Men one recently but found it incredibly disappointing

Its not a documentary but I watched Mr Freedom again the other day and it ruled. A very good and accurate portrayal of the CIA.

It's no surprise that Nazis fall into similar, dumber, conspiracies like "Global financial institutions are controlled by Arab wizards."

Thanks! I debated actually writing out that post several times thinking "If I write about The Mothman Prophecies in the Epstein thread I might as well start saving my toenail clippings or something." But I'd glad some people found it interesting.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Big_(police_procedure)


quote:

In a Mr. Big case, also called the Canadian method, the police usually place the suspect, typically someone socially isolated and financially disadvantaged, under extended surveillance, typically for weeks. Having thus learned about the suspect's personality and habits, the police develop an interactive scenario. Pretending to encounter the suspect by happenstance, an undercover operative solicits a small favor from the suspect, perhaps to fix a flat tire. Exploiting this acquaintanceship, the operative soon offers entertainment, gifts, companionship, meals, and eventually employment.

The undercover operative pays the suspect appreciable money for petty tasks, such as counting cash or making deliveries, associated with fictitious criminal activity. As these tasks grow in importance and frequency, the suspect is treated as an "up-and-comer" in a criminal organization. As many as 50 operatives may be involved, crafting "a steady escalation in association, influence and pressure, leading up to the creation of an atmosphere in which it is deemed appropriate to encourage the target to confess".[3] Eventually, the suspect is introduced to Mr. Big, the fictitious crime organization's kingpin, actually a skilled police interrogator.

Employing enticements and threats, Mr. Big tells the suspect of receiving from the police incriminating information about the suspect, whose impending arrest threatens the gang—why Mr. Big must know the unsolved crime's details. Mr. Big may offer to clean up the situation by framing someone else, perhaps a terminally ill confederate willing to take the fall for the gang. Or Mr. Big might claim that a mole within the police department can tamper with incriminating evidence. Sometimes, the confession is demanded to show good faith, loyalty, or trustworthiness, or serve as "insurance", to Mr. Big. The final meeting is usually recorded.

Once the police either obtain a confession or become convinced of the suspect's innocence, the lavish lifestyle and elaborate underworld evaporate, and (where a confession has been obtained) the suspect is arrested. The Mr. Big technique is often a last resort in cold cases, or where the police's strong suspicion is paired with insufficient evidence. The Mr. Big technique has been used to secure convictions in hundreds of cases, and has been highly effective in obtaining confessions from guilty suspects. Still, the technique also gives some innocent suspects compelling motivation to remain in the criminal organization; to maintain the new lifestyle and new friends, falsely confessing to Mr. Big may then seem an acceptable risk.

i posted a few weeks ago about a dateline I listened to that revolves around this and was presented as a cool and sly technique. it also explains a lot more of the nova scotia poo poo. also I’m willing to bet the “fake” parts of the plot aren’t so fake.
