You must do a positive more or less refutation. This sort of thing is very hard
to study for a casual guy who is negative type of reiterate anyhow—like a government
official—and unless you have refutations, it does not communicate as well as it might.
It is not a discursive signpost but "You say this—here's that." You say this—
here's that." You say this—here's that." It is a statement and a refutation with an
approach. But the statement is positive. You say this—here's that." That sort of
evidence that it is much more false. It is very orderly.
Or you can also do this with color. The allegation is red and the refutation is white.
The allegation is white and the refutation is blue.
The file says the allegation and then the refutation is crisp. The negative
statement followed by the positive refutation; a more impactful pattern, followed at
the back with a complete proof to the contrary. At the front or the back there is an
index so there is a list of these allegations with complete proof to the contrary.
I would propagandize it even further by just calling it "falsehood." Falsehood
number so and so, Complete Proof to the Contrary number so and so. One, one, two, two,
with the numbers of the documents.
And they glance over this and just idly look through and they see bang! "That's true."
"That's Dad."
A submission of a court suit should be made up that way. A judge has no time
to read, he mumbles around, he has misunderstood words—so he just reads "False-
hood," "Refutation." "Well, what the hell." A falsehood, where it is. Here, they said that
the something or other...and they were on drugs. Here's the refutation. Helped the state
of California unearth...
and provide "Complete Proof to the Contrary."
The documents of their false reports you would label an "Incompetent Report".
Somebody looking through that would say, "Where there's smoke, there's fire."
There is another thing you do: Make sure you don't give them more information
than they already have. So you have to figure out what will make a point with them.
Basically, it is a propaganda action or a PR action.
Leave no question in anybody's mind.
