General Definition
Plausible deniability is another version of
escape route thinking to avoid responsibility. Plausible deniability is just an easier way to lie. There's no need for an actual alibi. All that's needed is to claim not knowing something and then that claim itself, becomes the alibi.
Legal Equivalent Definitions In Layman's Terms
Plausible deniability takes many forms, it means:
1. Being able to say you didn't know when you should have known, even though it was expected for you to know.
For example, Saying “I didn't know the gun was loaded” and avoiding partial or full responsibility for pulling the trigger just because you didn't check to see if the gun was loaded, even though checking is always the responsible thing to do.
Being guilty of irresponsibility for not safeguarding a gun that is then taken and used to cause harm. The irresponsible person who did not safeguard the gun is able to avoid full or partial responsibility just because they didn't give express consent to take the gun and didn't know the gun was taken and it was actually someone else who pulled the trigger.
2. Being able to avoid full responsibility based on lack of knowledge of an event, even while being responsible for fostering and/or supervising the conditions for something of that nature to happen. The person is able to remove themselves from legal responsibility by having one or more degrees of separation from an event that happens as a result of the conditions.
For example, the American injustice system plausibly denies it is racist and instead it was the evidence and Grand Juries of citizens that were the reasons neither Darren Wilson nor Daniel Pantaleo face legal punishment for murder in the first degree and are instead free as they can be and continue to get paid by our money. The injustice system is an extension of the people's morality; therefore it also denies having any responsibility while fostering the conditions for such decisions.
To make sure no one is responsible, the citizens then say the system worked and we didn't make the decision. The people who are not in the the system and the people in the system toss responsibility back and forth continuously like a hot potato until our focus is purposely distracted elsewhere, i.e., the visit of British royalty to America during heavy protests and discussion against racism.
3. Being able to purposely not ask any questions and purposely avoid knowledge of details and then being able to claim lack of knowledge as a basis to avoid responsibility.
4. Plausible deniability is the slickest form of using an escapegoat (spelling intended). When there is no escape route or escapegoat, plausible deniability creates a fictitious escape route through a fictitious escapegoat. The fictitious escapegoat is the guilty person but a version of theirself that didn't know.
In the other versions of plausible deniability, the person comes nowhere near admitting responsibility. In this version of plausible deniability, the person says, It's true, I should be responsible, but since I didn't know, I'm not." By admitting to something, the person also creates fake credibility which falsely implies everything else they say must be true.
Now, with this setup in place, the guilty person who had knowledge of something is able to use plausible deniability to create a hologram of theirself that didn't know and project that image into the real world so that the hologram that didn't know stands in front of the real person that did know. No one else can speak for, or question the hologram except the person who is claiming plausible deniability. This ensures a clean get away every time, even after being caught.
The use of plausible deniability is also the advice one friend gives to another in the song, “It Wasn't Me” by Shaggy ft. RikRok.
From this, we can see, plausible deniability functions like a corporate veil for individuals when no corporation is involved. A corporate veil and plausible deniability both provide a defense using something that doesn't exist and only exists legally for the purpose of allowing the guilty to know, when-all-else-fails-to-cover-my-butt, there's still a legally guaranteed way to avoid responsibility. The criminal injustice system,
aided by other institutional conspirators, looks out for its own.
Plausible Deniability As Personal Self-Defense
Individuals, who are not in any legal trouble also use plausible deniability to lie to themselves to avoid feeling convicted by decisions, beliefs and behaviors. This is done to protect fragile self-esteem built on false notions from miseducation. This self-defense is used because the person knows, if they internally put their decisions, beliefs and behaviors on the witness stand, these things don't stand a chance to hold up in this court where the conscience of the Creator is the presiding judge; therefore, the person avoids scrutinizing themselves. This is accomplished by avoiding any information that even hints at the need to re-evaluate beliefs. The information and/or the source is avoided, quickly disregarded, attacked or all three.
When An Individual Uses Plausible Deniability Within Theirself:
1. It is to offset feelings of false notion futility. The person realizes the false notions are “not all they're cracked up to be” but even so, rather than admit it, the person decides it's better to live with contradictions than to have to do anything about them. Since the person must reject the truth, this leaves the person no choice but to treat the truth as something ridiculous and silly or as something that is a personal attack on their identity; therefore, anyone who tells the truth can be harmed and it's perfectly okay and recommended to do so because its self-defense.
2. The person does not have a firm foundation of truth to stand on, so the person needs to believe something is true despite insufficient evidence and also simultaneously believe something is not true, despite the preponderance of evidence.
Because the person has purposely avoided studying theirself and other information that leads to knowledge of truth, the person, if need be, is hoping to claim they didn't know. This allows the person to live with theirself without self-correction.
3. Plausible deniability allows a person to sleep at night by claiming they didn't know this or that about a society even though the person's thoughts and behaviors supports this or that.
4. Plausible deniability allows a person to know
a cause produces a first effect and then the first effect produces a second effect. Even so, the person denies the main cause has anything to do with the second effect. This is most often used against Africans by those who seek to maintain oppression over
the entire self. This is also most often used
by Africans to totally blame themselves and totally excuse others. Africans are the only victims of crime that go through this double-debilitating, double standard.
In the same way the use of man-made chemicals and medicines cause increasing dependency on them, the use of an artificial alibi such as plausible deniability automatically increases the need to use it more. There are always diminishing returns to incorrect behavior. Here's why. Avoiding responsibility does not resolve contradictions or conflicts. It merely prevents individuals and societies from maturing in the direction of civility.
No responsibility, no civility.When positive force is not applied towards change,
negative force directs change and pulls individuals and societies with it, in retrogression away from progression. Forward negative motion results in backwards motion. Because there is motion and movement,
a false understanding of “getting somewhere” occurs despite increasing amounts of negative behaviors and usage of plausible deniability.
Plausible deniability, whether legally or personally applied, is part of the
supersickness of psycho-sociopathy and part of
stupidity.
Plausible Deniability Is Not Universally Accepted
Plausible deniability is fancy language to avoid chastisement, admittance, repentance and penance, but not punishment. Even though plausible deniability helps people seemingly avoid responsibility, all things bear witness of themselves and all things set energy in motion that eventually returns to its origin.
Update 6-20-16 Simplified
“Plausible” is just a legal term for “believable.”
Thus, plausible deniability is believable deniability.
Less is required to “believe” something than it takes to “know” something.
As long as you can get people to believe there is a different legal basis for deniability that is based on the lesser standard of belief, then, even when you know someone is guilty, the person is only judged on the belief that a reason exists to believe the person is not guilty. Of course, anyone who does not want to be guilty can come up with a reason why they are not. It is believable that a reason exists, but it is criminal and inhumane to make the belief that a reason exists, the legal basis to determine guilt. That's what plausible deniability does. It insanely creates the perfect escape route from what is sanely inescapable.
Plausible deniability is for those who prefer to hide delusions under the illusion of rightness. That rightness being defined and created by the law the delusionals create to make their abnormalities seem normal. This is the essence of most laws in societies. Plausible deniability is used to stroke the power of delusional egos who don't want to come anywhere near conscience.
