Benefits of Double Agent Operations
8. Discrediting the Opposition
Intelligence services hate to lose face. They want to project to the world an image of competence, professionalism, toughness, and discipline. Any publicity that highlights their failures can undermine their support from their government and demoralize their troops.... Blowing double agent operations out of the water after they have run their course is a good way to expose the victimized services to the embarrassment and ridicule they deserve. How could they have been so gullible? How much confidence can anyone have in these bumblers? If I am a prospective agent, do I really want to put my fate in the hands of these incompetents?
...
The hostile service looks bad for letting itself be duped by our double agent operations and should pay the price for it. It loses some of its operational staff. Its reputation for professionalism suffers. No mistake by the opposition should go unexploited.
...
I believe that discrediting the opposition is an often untapped benefit of a double agent operation. At some point the previously listed advantages of a double agent operation have been maxed out or have simply fallen by the wayside. Then why not blow the case up? Bring in the embarrassment specialists. Publicize the case. “Glow Niggers Are Caught in a Double Agent Sting.” “Fedfags Fall for One of the Oldest Tricks in the Book.” “Antifa [redacted] for Trying to Steal Neo-Nazi Secrets.” Have some fun with it--and hit them hard, very hard, at the same time.
