Why Cannot People Shut Up?
30th May 2026
Criminals get caught when they brag. They seemingly cannot help it.
All these “hidden camera” interviews where government workers or politicians let the cat out of the bag to a perfect stranger over a drink (with perhaps some sexual attraction thrown in for good measure) are pretty much the same thing. Look at all the leaks to journalists by people whose job it is to keep a secret, yet are somehow incapable of doing it.
Or even consider Hunter Biden, who blabbed endlessly to prostitutes. Wow. Using beautiful women to get powerful men to talk is a technique as old as time. What is astonishing is that it works.
Why?
My wife is fond of a program that uses bodycam footage of traffic stops to document people talking themselves into jail.
