Let us describe the original events of August 10th as a transaction.
Money was being requested to pay for a surgical operation.
But let us imagine, for a moment, alongside this, an alternative scenario - that the transaction was simply a request to pay for an expensive meal.
Immediately - by comparison we can sense that the first situation contains an element of gravity completely absent from the second.
The gravity of the first situation automatically presents an aspect of emotional concern - placing the respondent to the request for money in a totally different psychological environment. One that is open to abuse - emotional manipulation - extortion.
We will add to the basic first structure several extra layers of emotional concern:
a) The request originates from a girl and is to be responded to by a man who is in love with her.
b) The operation is for an ectopic pregnancy resulting from their relationship and is a medical emergency.
c) The girl is in impoverished conditions and cannot finance this herself.
However - we are essentially dealing with a transaction. Certain proofs, or conditions of sale are to be complied with in any transaction.
Let it be stated that any request for money received by one partner in a relationship from the other, cannot divorce itself from emotional implications. What are the implications of refusing to oblige, for instance?
Anyone entering a genuine relationship is aware of the contentious implications in such a request and will avoid them at all costs.
Back to the transaction.
We will look at our second example - the expensive meal.
Let us add to this now - the fact is that the request comes from 8,000 miles away.
The fact is that there are many reports of people making fraudulent requests from this area - claiming, for example, that they had consumed an expensive meal and need the money - when in actual fact - they hadn't.
The original request for payment was made by telephone.
Well - only a very stupid person would wire the money straight to the other country - to be collected - it could be spent on anything - how does he know that there was a meal? How can he be assured that the bill is paid with the money that is sent?
So - he insists on verification - on seeing receipts for the meal - and he insists that any money will only be sent directly to the restaurant, once it is proved to his satisfaction that it is all genuine.
We must understand that no amount of proof sent this way is in itself absolute - because it can so easily be falsified - but the manner and approach with which this request for proof is handled is of great significance.
Even in this second scenario - the moment that we discover that the two people are in a relationship - it ceases to be a simple transaction - because of the emotional implications - the matter of trust.
So - in order to preserve the relationship - it is likely that any suspicions might be pushed aside - and might be expected to be pushed aside - to avoid exposing the issue of trust to a challenge.
In other words - the bill might be paid - no questions asked - because of the trust implicit in the relationship.
However, even in this simple scenario - it is perfectly clear that the person requesting the payment shoulders the burden of proof - and in order to dissolve any suspicions - complies immediately, thoroughly and efficiently with the suggested process of verification - to avoid placing the other person in the ugly, awkward position of questioning trust.
The person requesting the payment will go to any lengths to find alternative ways to lessen the burden that they have placed upon their partner - for example - they might try to find a friend to pay the bill, if it was that urgent, until satisfactory proof has been supplied - they would ensure that the restaurant made an adequate response in identifying themselves - a copy of the bill would be transmitted at the soonest opportunity - any questions about verification would be answered immediately, by all involved parties - for any delay or procrastination in any of these areas would be certain to increase the already latent suspicion.
But these latent suspicions would be understood to be completely justified by the circumstances and background of the events - discussed and dealt with in a suitably rational approach - to neutralize their potentially poisoning power within the relationship.
Now - consider this - what on earth would inspire the person requesting the payment to dwell exclusively and only on that question of trust? Making excuses for everything else - but trying to use emotional blackmail to force through the transaction. Why?
Further than that - never, ever providing the satisfactory proof - content only to send the sort of proof that can be easily falsified - complete failure in ensuring that the restaurant identified themselves or established contact to verify that indeed, irrefutably, unarguably, an expensive meal was had - proceeding to support their own insistence that it was all genuine with fabrication, inconsistencies, lies and further deceits - yet constantly avoiding the issue of real proof - only redoubling their employment of emotional blackmailing techniques - for months and months and months.
What reason is there to induce the person requesting the payment to resort at all to these measures? The fact that it is done as a first resort - not simply as a last resort - indicates compellingly - that there was no truth in the matter - underlines the case for suspicion of the proof that they were sending - imparts no faith in the people involved - because, in actual fact - it was being handled in a totally inappropriate manner - in a way that only serves to convincingly prove their motive - money was being extorted - by lies - for a meal that was never consumed.
If the truth was there to be shown - they would make it known - by any conceivable means - at all costs.
They would not resort to blackmail, to hurling insults.
The Charge - FRAUD - obtaining or attempting to obtain through deception.
The Goal - MONEY.
The proof - METHOD OF OPERATION.
What further extremes can be employed along these lines? Attempts to discredit the personal life of the person requested to pay - attempts to convince him that his suspicions are the result of personal paranoia - the total exclusion of hard facts relating to the original situation - the invention of other emotionally charged situations that are alleged to have been caused by the first - concerted efforts to induce guilt - the harvesting of authoritative figures to corroborate the falsehoods and provide yet more fabrication - stone-walled denial of the the real truth, even in the face of photographic evidence that proves beyond a shadow of doubt that there was no meal - further attempts to extort money to compensate for the failure of the first - the making of threats to silence him from warning others - masquerading behind false identities - the rallying of associates, friends and colleagues, passers by on the street, to endorse the falsehoods and join forces in a massed feeding frenzy - of attacking, discrediting, convincing, twisting psychologically - torturing emotionally - just because a bill wasn't paid?
No - quite simply because there is no evidence - there was no meal - and this is how they operate - to protect their own skin.
This is the operation - not an ectopic pregnancy - this is operation scam.
You can see quite clearly the two sides of the currency they use.
On one side - it is hard cash - turn it over and there is the head of The Queen Of Hearts.
To them it's just cold, hard, filthy lucre - that they spend their days in pursuit of.
But they know intuitively that when their currency is introduced into a contentious environment - a relationship - it's value will soon be perceived as the reverse - as emotionally significant acts.
All they have to do is create the illusion of a relationship, create the illusion of emergency situations within that environment - and they will receive a pay off - in currency.
Currency that is dispatched because it bears the head of The Queen Of Hearts - but be assured - it is soon flipped over - converted back to cold, hard cash.
A similar conversion appears in the language these relationships use.
A word like love - for instance - easy to type onto a computer screen.
The difference between how it is written and how it is read requires a translation though.
It is the motive that provides the translation.
People searching for love perceive the word, through their own hopes - as being the genuine article.
Other people after their money - know that fact - so they disguise their true motive within the word in order to reap a reward - which to them - is their own love - money.
When does currency become subject to this conversion and language start to require translation?
From the very first moment of the relationship.
In a court of law - the burden of proof falls always to the plaintiff - in the case of a transaction it is the person pursuing the payment. The defendant does not have to lift a finger.
But in the court of The Queen Of Hearts - we truly are in wonderland - everything is twisted, reversed.
Now the original defendant stands accused of an emotional crime - the case brought against him is to be tried entirely in the regions of his own mind and heart - not to be proven guilty - but simply to feel guilt and shame - and pay the penalty, the fine - serve the sentence and repent.
Now it is his crime - his failure to pay.
He dared to summon the rationality of the normal world to answer his suspicions - he is paranoid - he is sick - deranged - how dare he entertain doubts in the court of The Queen Of Hearts?
Off with his head!
