Good call! No one may have been taught critical thinking in the last fifteen years, but thanks to Substack, and substacks like yours, we are all getting doctorates in psychological operations! I wonder the same things you do, but also wonder if the Powers That Be TM are about to try to achieve Schwab's "coherence" out of the dreaded "fragmentation" by unleashing something new to terrorize us back into mortal fear mode. THEY have unimaginable arsenals.

I believe COVID was a "proof of concept", but two things occurred that will have a lasting impact. 1) The "vaccine" has lead to too many deaths too quickly, and 2) the people no longer trust public health officials on any level.

I'm sure that other pandemics are planned, but public outrage may develop far too quickly for a similar response to COVID (masks, lockdowns, vaccine development) to work a 2nd or 3rd time. Those in power played their hand, we saw the game plan, and expect the public to be prepared next time.

Agreed, they cut their nose to spite their face as my mom would say re the masks, lockdowns or any other regulation attempts. This is how I see the public response. Most will be like me, 'kiss my ass in Macy's window' as the older women in the old neighborhood used to say, I never did any of those things. Well, I did wear a mask, a Lone Ranger mask, a sheep mask once when I went in an ER. There is a Covid Cult, the braindead, arrogant, ignorant ones with terribly skewed science who will smile as they roll up their sleeves again. Then there are those just awakening or on the fence, to me those are who we should reach out to with truth. Don't hit them over the head with tons of it though (we do get that daily in substacks), just a little here and there, their own curiosity will do the rest. You see what we've become in such a short time? An intel community and not really meaning to. The writers did, but the readers also sent in great material.

Unfortunately, those who complied are still amongst us. I can see them doing it again, if not willingly, then with the same "sense of obligation". However, I have definitely started to hear some worried disquiet coming from colleagues who masked and quarantined and rolled up their sleeves without batting an eyelid. There are just far too many heart attacks, strokes and galloping cancers emerging. I just say "oh, there's definitely a lot of info of harms coming out now". I am not volunteering my research services. This is a path they must tread. Will probably mean they only see the controlled release of info, but it's better than nothing.

🤣I wore a plague doctor’s mask from day 1 most places and was never ever called on it. Otherwise I wore a ‘statement mask’ usually with snot hanging out of a nose printed on it (much to the mock disgust of the ladies and, thereby, to my devilish satisfaction). 😈 Still have these in reserve.

Expand full comment

Well, when this all started I already had an active but amateur fascination with group dynamics and 'group think', useful to be aware of anyhow when you manage teams of people but my interest probably goes back to changing homes & schools a couple of times as a kid. I had read Leon Festinger's "When Prophecy Fails" maybe 25 years ago, a fascinating study.

Early in the 'pandemic' I started looking at propaganda, persuasion and reactions, Bernays, O'Donnell, Meeloo etc. I did see this early on as a psychological operation, at least in part.

I will explore the Erving Goffman work, a natural progression from the theories I am aware of and the facts that I see. Seems to me that at the head of this snake is some pretty meticulous planning.

Thank you

Depends on which segment of the populace you consider “us”. The brainwashed evangelists (and conspirators who brainwashed them) are bad, but the majority of those who “go along” are what has enabled every totalitarian regime in history. Their silence deserves, actually requires, a vast amount of blame if we are to ever collectively wake up.

Expand full comment

If I see someone with a mask on these days I consider them of that mind and that they are enabling tyranny and if it's not inside someone else's business premises I will likely tell them the same. But I do like to see the main part of the blame go on the conspirators. Also the reaction of the masked when told what they obviously know to be the truth is interesting these days. As they get no back up from those around them.

Just like Jacinda got no back up when I called her a piece of shit to her face.

I understand completely, and thank you for your part in pushing back. I don’t have the high profile encounter, but I am an American that went to and international school in Australia, with friends and classmates from all over the world. We had a class that studied “leadership” and how charismatic cults are formed. It’s amazing none of my colleagues recognize the parallels with their means of arriving at their cultish beliefs.

We keep up regularly, and, as the American, I speak up regularly, the other Americans voices truly brainwashed beyond all intelligible reason. The silence of many other cultural colleagues provides hope of a semblance of silent enlightenment, but I’m afraid too many have simply been broken or have bought into the crazy.

I don't think the public will be very understanding about their loved ones being the ones who were sacrificed to save others when it's quite clear that the threat was not what they were told it was and the solution was likewise not what they were told it was.

I think it's far more likely that the BBC let Aseem Mahotra talk because they can see the public narrative is changing and they have to be seen to be on the right side ("We had no choice in how we reported because the govt threatened us but now we are freedom fighters uncovering the truth for the people"). Elon Musk is probably talking about the side effects because almost everyone is now talking about them, even people who thoroughly believed everything they were told. I know a bunch of old people who were masked, sanitised, jabbed believers in everything the BBC and the British Govt told them. They have now started asking me (as a known nonconformist) whether I have any "proper scientific independent research papers" which clearly show the jabs are dodgy. The BBC and the Govt need to be on the same side as these people - watch them all throw selected fallguys to the wolves in the coming weeks.

I think you're right a few fallguys/scapegoats might get thrown in front the bus. More likely Chris Whitty than Ferguson or Valance. More likely some obscure MP than Johnson, Sunak or Hancock.

Why is this an unhelpful comment? The criminals behind this genocide have friends in high places and a lot of money. Put them in jail, and they will be quietly released after a few years as soon as public attention fades.

Also, anything short of the death penalty is simply inappropriate for genocide.

Normies do not understand that psychopaths are hard cases who are simply undeterred by the minor penalties the modern "humane" justice system metes out for offenses. Psychopaths need to be smacked on the head with a proverbial 2 X 4 ... and that's just to get their attention.

It would be good to consider how we can continue without total chaos. What are the paths to prosecution? Will a particular nation or state lead the way? Like Canadian truckers, but maybe a state-sponsored prosecution of former. A full international trial on the source and backdoor dealings would be good. But like Twitter files probably just add black and white emails to what we already know...

Fauci, Ecohealth, NIH, Gates Foundation, Rockefeller Lockstep, WEF Schwab commands to Government cabinets, demands for crazy models Etc. Etc.

That’s where I am at now. My skepticism is off the scale, probably closer to paranoia now.

Everyone with a platform and a modicum of notoriety or celebrity who has come out late, done a 180 or quietly gained a “following”, is likely in on it. Judas Goats. Gatekeepers. It seems we are all being herded along narrative pit stops according to where we are in our grasp of the bigger picture.

TV and MSM talking heads and programming herds the majority without much effort. The “edgier” dissidents, truthers, censored voices of the internet, however, have to allow sone loose lips to herd the rest of us along degrees of being “awake”. Consider a continuum from Aseem Malhotra and John Campbell to Russell Brand and Neil Oliver to Steve Kirsch and Robert Malone to RFK Jr and Bret Weinstein to Joe Rogan and Elon Musk to James Delingpole and Masjid Nawaz and so on... with many other “shepherds” in between. (For the record, I do trust some of the fighters out there: Dr Mike Yeadon is the colossus above all of them)

The bigger picture? Socially engineer, obfuscate, gaslight and ultimately deflate the pitchforks and tiki torches, and divert attention from the dawning realisation that a eugenicist democide is being perpetrated. I believe governments eventually will want the outrage, and as it is stage-managed to its peak, they’ll let it loose to destroy trust in all civic institutions.

The common denominator? Not yet clear but somewhere between Quigley’s “The Network”, the weird handshake crowd, eugenicists and the “lizard overlords”, as Tucker Carlson just called them.

Carlin was probably in the big club when he said those famous words. That’s just how they roll.

"Dr Mike Yeadon is the colossus above all of them."

No question. I have a similar background to his (minus VP, only in "small pharma" and 1/3 of his career span before I moved on) and I can understand his anguish. When the injections roll out started, I was extremely skeptical of this "achievement". The lack of knowledge of the long term toxicity was one thing that puzzled me, along with the fact that it was known that the spike protein was responsible for the clotting and other endothelial damage. Dr. Yeadon was the voice I stumbled upon that shared the same concerns and with no reservations, openly stated that people should simply decline the vaccine. Great soul.

Expand full comment

I am a lot more paranoid than you are, I guess.

First I will mention the exact meaning of being (not) paranoid and being gaslighted (or not/deceived in other way(s)), as I think I 'know' from books, teachers etc in my life so far, so we all talk about the same subjects the same way, and we will understand each other better. And that this necessary to make our world a honest and happy place to live in, will follow directly from the exact meanings of the words, in which proper meaning they are hardly never used and why this is a fact as well as by whom it is probably caused.

In my opinion/conclusions the word 'gaslighting' is in fact used very often lately on 'our side/substack', but unfortunately I did not ever see the word used in its meaning bur only as a more serious/bigger form of 'lying/deceiving etc

I don't know if everyone here really knows what gaslighting actually really is about, nor do I know if we all do use the word in the same meaning, reason for me to try to define it's practical meaning here, as follows.

Gaslighting is all about educate/conditioning people to believe that what they see, hear, feel etcetera is NOT real/reality/actually there/present, but that it only exists in their heads and not in the heads of other people when placed in exactly the same situation as in which they saw /heared /noticed that something.

So the gaslighter must organise (several when necessary to reach goal) completely controllable situations to work out their detailed plan to gaslight their victims. This by educating/showing his or her victim (by repetition when necessary to reach goal) that what they see isn't really there. Or better explained: the goal is to 'disarm' someone by making the person believe that their senses or thoughts are wrong, or aren't real nor shared by other people, and especially that what they see is NOT ACTUALLY PRESENT.

Practically it means the gaslighter controlls what is presented to its victim. For example the gaslighter takes care of putting the gas on in an usually abandened house. So the gas is on, by actually putting it on himself secretly making its victim seeing/noticing the gas is on in some (manipulated) way. The victim of course concludes that there is a dangerous situation, because the gas is on, when there is nobody in the house to controll it.

Then gaslighter says he sees NOTHING and that the house has been abandoned for a long time or something like that...and this situation is being repeated. The gaslightee puts the gas on and off and always says there is no gas on burning, when in fact it is because he made it burning!

The victim keeps on correctly seeing the gas is on, 'reason' for the gaslighter to arrange they can enter the house to check, when of course the gaslighter putting off the gas first properly and on time, so there is no heat left.

This is an actual scene from some movie, I don't know the name of it, maybe it was called 'gaslighting' as well, where this extremely damaging form of manipulation was shown/described for the first time, when actually using this gaslight on/off thing. So that is why this form of manipulation is called 'gaslighting'

So gaslighting is among lots of things lying to people, but lying to people is by far not the same as gaslighting someone!

Gaslighting is in my opinion actually one of the most severely harming forms of abuse man can do to manipulate people.

Gaslighted victims, have become people who were taught that what they saw, are things nobody else sees too. This results inherently in them getting completly isolated because of not having the same reality othere people have. Also because they are shamed of themselves because as when they see things that aren't there, they MUST be mentally ill. And of course because they never know anymore if that what they notice, is actually there...and worse, they were taught it probably isn't. Concluding this, is the consequence of NOT being mentally ill but victims don't know that only deductive reasoning from past unreal experiences that taught them this.

And maybe most depressing fact is the ultimate learned helplessness they were conditioned in...this is because of the fact that succesfully gaslighted people are left alone AND without any tools left to solve their extremely mentally killing problemsituation, because the senses feelings and thoughts they need to do so, are wrong they were taught.

If you see/notice/think/hear things that only you could detect presence of, other people who are, for some reason, not ABLE to notice the same you do, probably will call you paranoid. But in this situation, you are in fact not at all 'paranoid'.

If you see/notice/think/hear things that aren't there, and because of this you are the only one to do so as well, other people not noticing the same as you did, also probably will call you paranoid. And in this situation, when you weren't gaslighted or manipulated to do so, you probably are really 'paranoid'

So 'paranoid' is lately/usually not being used in it original meaning, but to suggest the paranoid person is wrong on what he or see is saying, and worse, because of the suggestion of mental illness! And who is one gaining by abusing the term in this way? Not us, but propagandists, and that are people we don't want to be or look like, and using terms wrongly the same way propagandists do, pollutes our messages, and that is what the propagandists really badly need and want.

So people, please, take a good look at the meaning of words, especially when using the same meaning as propagandists do, because very often their meaning is not only not correct, their meaning is supporting the propagandists instead of your 'healty message'!

Expand full comment

The movie is Gaslight 1944 film noir with Ingrid Bergman, Charles Boyer, and Angela Landsbury. The gaslighting is just as you describe and in the movie. Charles Boyer convinces Ingrid Bergman that she is imagining changes in the gas in the house lamps, among other things.

Rich people do own lots of money that previously belonged to other people. Getting rich means other people become poorer.

Please explain why I am wrong.

During last plandemic a lot of people became poorer, and just a few were getting richer.

In this overall context is what I was talking about.

Do you think my example is wrong too?

I really like to be educated, but just mentioning I am wrong in general without explanation is not going to help us all any further.

To me actually it looks like you saw my remark, and formed an opinion, without taking a look at the actual meaning of my comment as a whole. Which also can be wrong according to you of course, but a wrong statement can fit a wrong comment. In this case my polarised remark served the goal of my comment.

It is probably possible to write a billion books about this topic.

And it is true that I really do think that when I pay someone, in most cases I get poorer and the other one get richer.

And I know the big banks created inflation, extra money, and a zillion other tricks to make the amount of money grow, but far most transactions aren't covered with extra money, so I really like to know what you are trying to tell me with your criticism, because, please without wanting to be rude, I don't get it (right?)

About money and why rich people want more and more of it: Money is power to make other people do what you want. Money can also protect/insulate people from ordinary and some extraordinary risks/dangers/mishaps/tragedies that humans can experience.

One small example: I knew a woman who was born in the U.S. in the mid-1920's. She remarked, "The Great Depression didn't affect my family. It was something I learned about in school." Her family was not extremely rich, but her father steadily earned a good income providing a service that wealthy people were happy to pay for . . . because they, too, were not affected by the Great Depression.

Thank you for your reply... I knew a bit about power and money, and money and power... the rich people I ment were actually not 'just' wealthy people, but the extremely rich people. And I kind of thought they already had more power than ever needed for whatever they wanted and or needed...

Your comment clearly explains that I was not only very wrong on that assumption but as well about what the current 'mental global war' is about..the ones that own about half our planet think more money and more power than owned, is always better, so in their minds they do not have it all untill they REALLY own it all.

To think this way, they have their focus on everything they do not own. That is exactly opposited to my way of thinking. To my it looks like a totall sad waste of time. If I was rich like them, and also when this os not the case, I would prefer a nice talk to friends and family, take a walk with the dogs, and a 1000 things more to do first;-)

Your analysis is spot on.

The transfected don't want to hear about the danger of what they injected into themselves and their loved ones. Publicizing the truth in a low key way with no great outcry, is just what allows the duped transfected to react to our attempts to make them aware, by telling us "so what, it's not being suppressed, it's just not that big a deal". I think there are too many people who don't have their own sensorium for independently assessing whether something is really bad news and a scandal. They just assess issues based on the media treatment the issues get.

The conspiracy theorist community have another term for this sort of thing: limited hangout. An attempt to head-off a wider exposure by releasing a much smaller one.

Until Elon Musk explicitly condemns the fact Tesla manufacture mRNA for CureVac, I still will not trust him. He seems to be trying to suggest the shots don't do anything until the fourth, but VAERS had clear cases of people dying after the first. Plus, no guarantees what he got was the real deal without proof.

Meanwhile they want to keep the mRNA acceptability criteria confidential. Your money *and* your life, demand the robber-barons:

Musk is what I call a "manic pioneer." Highly energetic and driven, super-smart, gathers a great team and does some brilliant pioneering work like developing re-usable rockets. Escalates further and further into grandiosity and ends up going off the deep end -- doing batpoop crazy stuff like setting out to fill the sky with thousands upon thousands of short-lived satellites (that have to be replaced every 5 years) for no good reason, with no consideration that the sky is "commons" and he doesn't own it. Manic pioneers are love-em or hate-em kinds of people, and usually competitive and pugnacious, so along the way they collect plenty of enemies. When the manic pioneer goes nuts, those enemies are eager to shred him/her to bits and they gleefully throw the manic's earlier brilliant work in the trash can along with the crazy crap, because the brilliant work humiliated and embarrassed them given their own (mediocre) achievements.

Even if that is true, it doesn't affect my Divine Plans. He is being used by both sides of light vs dark in a sense.

For example in a black vs white chess match, the check of black vs white may endanger white, but it can also endanger black's king by leaving a hole in their defense, creating a counter check mate move. If black fails to continue the check attack and fails in the check mate, then the counter attack will wreck them instead. That is also what happened on 2020. And 2021 with Russian Federation aka Israel.

I was in policing when they started going hard with liaison officers being assigned to victims/families.

Hey NE. I think everyone with critical thinking skills should be (and probably is) mulling over all the possibilities and trying to work out what is going on. I highly doubt that any of us have worked out the full picture - and I'd be very cautious of anyone who claims to have a monopoly on "truth" on our side.

Just to add to your headf***, this has been annoying me of late. The government has put defibrillators in schools in the UK. Just before the New Year they announced over a thousand new defibrillators in public spaces:

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/number-of-defibrillators-to-be-increased-with-new-funding

Then we had this Express headline which all the major newspapers in the UK covered in some way (this was presumably the story that lead to Malhotra giving his statins interviewon the BBC:

https://imgur.com/a/QqdFv7W

Right....put almost 40% of the population on statins to stop heart attacks and strokes....ok.

I have no idea what this means. Is this just normalization? Ed Dowd says he has been told there will be a narrative switch and the vaxx injuries will be blamed on Long Covid and maybe Climate Change. Are people dumb enough to fall for this (especially the latter)?

Also, if Musk involved, then be very wary. That guy is not to be trusted

CJ Hopkins wrote a very good piece on this recently, it all ties into the same thing:

"If you are one of the many people who now appear to seriously believe that military-contractor oligarchs like Elon Musk and narcissistic ass clowns like Alex Berenson are going to deliver us from the New Normal Reich, and “prosecute Fauci,” and end corporate censorship, or in any way meaningfully bite the hand of the global-capitalist system that feeds them, you may want to give those columns a miss."

https://cjhopkins.substack.com/p/the-mother-of-all-limited-hangouts

Finally, I don't know if you are aware of this website: https://politicalmoonshine.com/

I think they are doing a pretty good job of piecing it all together - in no way is it complete but they are getting somewhere close to something resembling the truth. They are a bit too pro-Trump for me, given all he has done, but other than that a lot of their research tallies with my own.

There's a lot to ponder. Just because you ARE seemingly "paranoid" doesn't mean they aren't out to get you! Or something. I've been watching a lot of prepper videos of late and keep hearing the term "keep your head on a swivel" (meaning practicing the art of situational awareness). I regard thinking through the permutations of all this is nothing more than critical thinkers keeping their heads on a swivel.

I too find it odd they let Malhotra on the BBC. They clearly know what his views are. That's not to accuse Malhotra himself of anything sinister (I don't have any evidence of that).

One thing they need damage control on is attempting to prevent Covid vaxx injured, & those sympathetic to vax injured, becoming full on antivax. They used the societal kudos of the cult of vaccines to promote their new product (even though it isn't a vaccine, technically speaking) and now using that cult has the potential to backfire on all vaccines if there is too much death. Too late for to stop some people going down that route but they have got to bolster confidence in their overall vaccine programs for paediatrics (which they rely on for money and causing vaccine injuries which make more money), and also creating the kind of people they need in this society (i.e. creating low level social retardation via aluminium poisoning in adjuvants physically making us isolated from each other as well as the isolation created by the social structures but now I sound like Toby Rogers...)

That's before they were widely available or rolled out. He might have had to take them to keep SpaceX contracts going. But would have spaced the doses right out and switch vaccine order and maker to reduce impact. E.g. Moderna then Pfizer with only 4weeks between doses had ten times the risk than vice versa with 8 weeks spacing. That kind of game play.

Ultimately he's a dunce if he actually took 4 of them and could have it faked it easily at the level of medical care he gets.

True but the numbers were still pretty impressive for those personality traits. INT-J, INF-J, INF-P, INT-P combined are 11% of the population and they made up over half the refuseniks.

I think this brilliant post is spot on.

Doubt very much that Elon has taken the poison. His reference to his cousin is something of a non sequitur - ‘had’ myocarditis, ‘had’ to be hospitalized. All right then, why no mention of how he is now? Myocarditis does not go away, as a simple search will tell him. Wonder how much he knows about it.

As for Ardern - what presumption!

Claims to be human, claims to be kind - say what? Then actually says that her family has made the biggest ‘sacrifice’, perhaps, of all.

No, madam, they have not. The dead and injured are the ones who have been sacrificed, not of their own volition, but because of you, your medical minions, and your corruption. You have never served the people of New Zealand, but rather a terrorist cabal intent on subjugating the peoples of the world - or what will be left of them following the genocidal effects of your and your masters’ actions. Begone with you, albeit too late.

And what does everyone make of the Musk comment

“I dunno.”

Seriously, someone who is a purported genius, practical, with unprecedented access to information and to people who do know? Someone we are told who cares so much about his kids just doesn’t know and takes three shots and mixes platforms to boot. That comment was meant to legitimize the state of uncertainty. Maybe there still isn’t enough data? Right now I am seeing a lot of fence straddlers. Hedging bets to ultimately claim some credit for being partially correct. I think their role is to make you believe no one could really have known until just recently. To normalize that idea for the hoodwinked. “I dunno” felt like the crafted theatric gosh darn it bro speak and persona of con artist Sam Bankman-Fried. It is okay to be clueless. That is when Musk alarms went of for me. I have been hopeful with an open mind about his real goal and role in all this. But Naked Emperor provides a framework for understanding Musk’s mysterious behavior as well. Censorship with regard to all things Ukraine and what US and NATO are really doing there still happens on Twitter. That war is part of the long game plan to destroy what sovereignty we all have as people and as nations.

There are not such things as faillures or strange things. Damage controll is also not a realistic scenario.

This global epidemic plan is globally worked out on the minute with governments all over the world taking measures not a single sane well informed person would even consider taking, and that I am the only person here who thinks they have a different plan than we were told they have, is the only reason for us to not understand their plan, instead of suggestion again and again that they are making the same 'mistakes' again and again, for forthy years now, when completely highly intelligently informed.

Guys, when this is going on, it is not even likely mistakes you see, but the only conclusion possible is that those 'mistakes' and 'unnecessary risks' they made, are in fact just measures taken for their sake, because we do know they took them at our expenses, paid for with their lives by many. At best. I think they know someone who can count and or read statistics, if they dont already themselves

And that is a strange fact, but as well is the fact that people keep on talking about this epidemic bullshit is if it is about peoples health, which all proof we have is supporting reasons we were not told about and are about anything but health, and all about illegal and by almost all people in the world unwanted power transition(s) from our so called decocratic governments to not choosen rich (WEF) idiots with plans to kill 12 out of 13 people globally.
