Best trick!
One of Berenson's commenters:
If they abruptly change course and admit they were wrong they open themselves up to endless litigation from the lives they’ve destroyed with their misguided policies. Instead they need to move the goalposts to claim that what they did worked.
This is the key, but not the entire key. We've seen the entire key in the 9/11 crime and the "global warming" crime and the TARP crime. Avoiding litigation requires more than just pleading not guilty. Avoiding litigation requires a substitute defendant.
The substitute technique is clearest in the "global warming" crime, where all problems caused by failed infrastructure and bad policy are now blamed on oil companies. The blame should go to governments who tear down dams instead of building dams, and who create forest fires by intentional "endangered species" mismanagement. With the "global warming" scam in place, all of those lawsuits are displaced to Exxon.
In 9/11 the real culprit was Saudi conspiring with Deepstate, but the blame was displaced onto Afghanistan and Iraq. (In this case the litigation was outright war, not a court trial.)
In TARP the real culprit was Wall Street itself. The artificial bubble needed to be popped in a way that rewarded the criminals and slaughtered everyone else. The blame was displaced onto mysterious Bond Market Witches who were never really identified.
The Branded Swine Flu is pretty much a repeat of TARP. The artificial bubble needed to be popped in a way that rewarded the criminals and slaughtered everyone else. The real culprit is Wall Street again, but the blame is laid off on a Witch Virus that can't be sued.
Best trick of all!
