When an attempt to cover something up ends up drawing more attention to it. This is relevant to gangstalking and other types of crime in that a coverup can sometimes be easier to see than the crime itself. This term originated from Barbara Streisand’s efforts to have her waterfront home removed from a website, used by researchers, that displays images of the California coastline. As a direct result of her efforts, the number of views of her house went from 6 to 420,000 in the following month. Those original 6 views were reportedly all from either herself, her lawyers, or her neighbors.
