That's not a bribe.
Learn the difference between strong-arm tactics such as blackmail and bribes. Two completely different approaches.
- madaxe_again 12y agoThe two almost always go hand in hand, unless you're talking about bribing a traffic cop - which we're not. Patronising dickhead.
- korzun 12y agoTouched a nerve kiddo? Link me to a case where NSA/CIA/FBI blackmailed AND worked with / gave money to an individual at the same time.
- madaxe_again 12y agoStill a patronising dickhead? The CIA typically recruit through a combination of carrot and stick - i.e. bribery and blackmail. "Hey dude, let me tell you about this sweet slightly dodgy thing I can get you in on." ... ... "Oh by the way, I hope you like all that money you made. I work for the CIA. Work with us or go to jail, your call." More commonly than not it's not about self-preservation, rather protection of loved ones - read up on Operation Mockingbird, which was driven pretty much entirely on this basis - luring journalists in with a subtle bribe hook, then using it to blackmail them.
- korzun 12y ago> read up on Operation Mockingbird Did you read anything I posted? In what instance was somebody bribed AND blackmailed at the same time during the Mockingbird? Please go back to Wikipedia and try again.
