The Schoolyard Bully Is Still Using His Old Trick
The schoolyard bully is caught standing over the skinny, bloodied kid lying on the ground.
The teacher asks what happened.
The bully yells: “He hit me first!” Then he grabs his nose and pretends that he’s hurt.
This tactic is so common that there are 3.6 million Google hits for the phrase “bully pretends to be the victim”.
Wikipedia notes:
Victim playing by abusers is either:
diverting attention away from acts of abuse by claiming that the abuse was justified based on another person’s bad behavior (typically the victim)
soliciting sympathyfrom others in order to gain their assistance in supporting or enabling the abuse of a victim ….
It is common for abusers to engage in victim playing.
It’s the oldest trick in the book … but Americans are still falling for it.
Governments from Around the World Admit They Use the Bully’s Tricks
It’s not just individual bullies … governments use the bully’s trick, as well.
Indeed, governments from around the world admit they’ve used the bully’s trick:
A major with the Nazi SS admitted at the Nuremberg trials that – under orders from the chief of the Gestapo – he and some other Nazi operatives faked attacks on their own people and resources which they blamed on the Poles, to justify the invasion of Poland. Nazi general Franz Halder also testified at the Nuremberg trials that Nazi leader Hermann Goering admitted to setting fire to the German parliament building, and then falsely blaming the communists for the arson
Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev admitted in writing that the Soviet Union’s Red Army shelled the Russian village of Mainila in 1939, and declared that the fire originated from Finland as a basis launching the Winter War four days later
Israel admits that an Israeli terrorist cell operating in Egypt planted bombs in several buildings, including U.S. diplomatic facilities, then left behind “evidence” implicating the Arabs as the culprits (one of the bombs detonated prematurely, allowing the Egyptians to identify the bombers, and several of the Israelis later confessed) (and see this and this)
The CIA admits that it hired Iranians in the 1950′s to pose as Communists and stage bombings in Iran in order to turn the country against its democratically-elected prime minister
The British Prime Minister admitted to his defense secretary that he and American president Dwight Eisenhower approved a plan in 1957 to carry out attacks in Syria and blame it on the Syrian government as a way to effect regime change
The former Italian Prime Minister, an Italian judge, and the former head of Italian counterintelligence admit that NATO, with the help of the Pentagon and CIA, carried out terror bombings in Italy and other European countries in the 1950s and blamed the communists, in order to rally people’s support for their governments in Europe in their fight against communism. As one participant in this formerly-secret program stated: “You had to attack civilians, people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple. They were supposed to force these people, the Italian public, to turn to the state to ask for greater security” (and see this)(Italy and other European countries subject to the terror campaign had joined NATO before the bombings occurred).
