If this character were a man this is how he would be blackmailed

Jack know's already where I am coming from on this as we have discussed it before.

Character - Major 'Pop' Enthroning - British (retired) Military Industrialist - male?. Blackmail with the incentive of money is easy, people are greedy for power and will do anything to protect that power. This is few ways that people are blackmailed to cover up criminal activities. If any more examples are needed or case studies just let me know. Below is the first part of an explanation of why blackmail works with bankers.

The use of Blackmail

Nietzsche posed the question in his book Beyond Good and Evil

“How much truth can the spirit endure,
How much truth does a spirit dare?”

Blackmail is effective because a man’s spirit or actions are never what could be called truly pure and the blackmailer uses the guilt of sins real or imagined as a weapon of power over others.

Everyone has weaknesses the same as everyone has secrets and that makes everyone vulnerable and open to blackmail, even children. The only person who cannot be blackmailed is a person with a narcissistic personality and generally it is a narcissist who becomes the blackmailer or the planner of a blackmail threat even in a terrorist environment.

Blackmail as a tool to forward Terrorist Activities and Organised Crime

Blackmail in this sphere is a weapon of the imagination utilizing fear to its most effect,

“If I co-operate my fear will not come to pass”

With normal blackmail as in the example of kidnappings or incriminating photographs sent to families or the press it is generally the blackmailer and the victim who have direct interactions either in person or vicariously. Blackmail is an interesting and versatile form of pressure to ensure compliance, it can be short term a one off instrument of gain or it can be used for long term reward.

Blackmail used to advance a Terrorist agenda or other associated Organised Crime displays another facet that being Third Party Pressure.

1. Blackmailer

Who blackmails

2. A person in a position of power over the third party

Who then applies emotional or physical pressure over

3. The third party

This type of Third Party Pressure is the hardest of all to prosecute and many times investigate as the Blackmailer very often does not have direct contact with the Third Party carrying out the act and if the Third Party is caught or investigated on questioning they will admit the incitement is from the person who put pressure directly on them not the original blackmailer. As an interesting aside, even if people die due to an act caused by the Third Party but directly instigated by the Blackmailer, the Blackmailer will not consider that they had anything to do with the deaths, this may mean that a polygraph or other questing will show the blackmailer as innocent because they genuinely believe they are. They didn’t push the button and they did not directly tell the person who pushed the button to push that button. So they had nothing to do with the incident or deaths. It is a very firm disassociation belief held by Mirpuri’s and to a lesser extent by other Pakistani’s. That is why Planners of terrorist offences never take personal responsibility for bombings or attacks because if they weren’t holding the bomb they didn’t do it. The responsibility is taken as the act of the group or on behalf of a figurehead i.e. OBL or AQ.

All the below instances of blackmail have been witnessed.

Money Laundering Through Legitimate Companies

This is simple and straight forward; a Jihadist front business opens up, business A, and asks another local business, business B, next door. Business A then says for one reason or another i.e. don’t have time to go to the bank for urgently needed patty cash, they ask if business B can cash a cheque for them. Business B innocently does business A the favour and cashes the cheque. This happens more than once. Then business A claims they have run out of cheques and asks business B if they will write out a cheque to a supplier who will only accept cheques if business A gives business B the cash. By this time both business men are members of the same small business group and it is ensured by business A they are personal friends. This can carry on for up to a year until it’s time for business B to be audited or Customs and Revenue expect the Returns to be audited. Business B cannot explain some of the transactions or do not comply with Government Money Laundering Reporting Rules. That is when business A says they know of a good accountant who can help with the accounts and amend the books to help out business B. Business B can be blackmailed at any time after that.
