Ben Bartee – The Daily Bell Feb 25, 2021
In the beginning, to counter the public backlash, Anthony Fauci and Co. took a conciliatory tone. They assuaged Americans’ well-founded concerns. Eager to quash growing discontent, the medical establishment spent 2020 on a rhetorical tightrope:
“We’ve got to have a delicate balance of carefully and prudently going towards normality and opening up at the same time that we contain and not allow these surges.”
-Anthony Fauci, July 2020
Over and over, Fauci and Co. promised the lockdown of the economy and social life would be imminently lifted once the emerging virus was contained. The lockdowns were — in their original rollout and PR framing — temporary, emergency measures to prevent imminent loss of life.
What a difference a year makes.
The ruling class, via the corporate press that services it, has now dramatically altered the parameters of the lockdowns:
“The ease with which the coronavirus spreads, the emergence of new strains and poor access to vaccines in large parts of the world mean Covid-19 could shift from a pandemic disease to an endemic one, implying lasting modifications to personal and societal behavior.”
-Wall St. Journal, Feb 2021
Former CDC director Thomas Friedan – via the nominally “conservative” Wall Street Journal– dropped the shoe that the grassroots right has warned would drop since the lockdowns began:
“Going through the five phases of grief, we need to come to the acceptance phase that our lives are not going to be the same. I don’t think the world has really absorbed the fact that these are long-term changes.”
-Thomas Friedan, CDC Director, Feb 2021
Friedan and the WSJ are here to ensure that you absorb that lesson, internalize it, and, ultimately, regurgitate it to cull others. In this way, the prisoner erects his own prison – of his own volition.
“The nature of psychological compulsion is such that those who act under constraint remain under the impression that they are acting on their own initiative. The victim of mind-manipulation does not know that he is a victim. To him the walls of his prison are invisible, and he believes himself to be free. That he is not free is apparent only to other people.”
-Aldous Huxley
Not a day has passed since early 2020 that the corporate media has not gone to great lengths — alternating between shaming, threatening, and dangling phantom “carrot” rewards for compliance in our faces – to aggressively market safety during the pandemic. Everything they do is for safety, they are diligent to emphasize.
Their motivations are not, in Anthony Fauci’s and Joe Biden’s carefully crafted narrative, to atomize the population by keeping them in perpetual fear by way of the well-trodden psychological tactic of stress-induced Pavlovian conditioning, hence facilitating greater social control. Rather, it’s for safety.
Protecting safety, after all, is what heroes do.
How convenient, then, that those who oppose heroes are villains – even a small child can process and internalize the narrative. The corporate media’s strawman – the filthy, illiterate MAGA riff-raff flaunting science on a mission to genocide grandmothers — is fully erect.
Moving forward, the stage is set to mete out social justice. Cue the outrage “journalism.” Just look at these degenerates, read the chyrons and faces of news actors.
“No, your teenager’s boyfriend or girlfriend cannot come over during the pandemic,” the CNN headline reads. It’s just another in a long, lone line of continual reminders to the subjugated classes that nothing will ever return to the way it was before March 2020.
Visiting your boyfriend or girlfriend is what disgusting MAGA mouth-breathers do. It’s literally violence, in the refrain of the social justice movement.
“It’s a tough time to be young and in love,” says San Francisco therapist Jessica England.
It’s a tough time to be anything, now that we’ve assumed the role of Pavlov’s salivating dogs, begging for food under the watchful eye of the ruling class.
Most everyone knows about Russian psychologist Ivan Pavlov and his contributions to the behavioral sciences – most notably, that animal behavior is highly open to conditioning.
Pavlov’s real practical revelation to the ruling class, though, was the concept of fear conditioning and its remarkable ability to suspend the analytical and decision-making capacity of its victims.
Replace “food” with images and descriptions and predictions of mass suffering. Replace “salivation” with “fear.” In continual states of heightened fear-induced stress, Pavlov concluded, the animal paralyzed by fear is even more susceptible than usual to manipulation and misdirection – anything to neutralize the perceived threat and extinguish the fear.
If fear won’t induce compliance, more material tactics will — the oligarchs have endless levers to pull.
Moving forward, assuming you resist the Pavlovian fear conditioning, your deplatformed avatar will have no voice on social media (the new town square). Whether you nominally retain Constitutional protections of “free speech” – the constant refrain of the woke mob to justify corporate censorship – will be functionally irrelevant to your ability to express yourself.
Beyond your digital erasure, your physical movement will be limited – no plane rides for the unvaccinated! Your children will be removed from government school. You won’t find gainful employment.
How far will the shunning go? The corporate press now regularly floats the idea of denying medical care to people who refuse a COVID vaccine. “Conservative” French PM Jean Castex proposed legislation to bar the unvaccinated from using public transportation.
They will squeeze, squeeze, squeeze. The pressure – social, economic, and physical – will not relent.

“‘All right then,’ said the Savage defiantly, ‘I’m claiming the right to be unhappy.’
‘Not to mention the right to grow old and ugly and impotent; the right to have syphilis and cancer; the right to have too little to eat, the right to be lousy; the right to live in constant apprehension of what may happen tomorrow; the right to catch typhoid; the right to be tortured by unspeakable pains of every kind.’
There was a long silence.
‘I claim them all,’ said the Savage at last.”

Biden has reportedly bombed Syria thirty-six days into his stolen presidency. Naked US aggression, they’re going back to that part of normal.

The academic professors are operating just like that dog.
They are conditioned by reward-punishment method to talk what the establishment tells them to talk. The dogs reward in this case is career and salary (money).
The establishment (Boris, Merkel etv) tells a university professor “now you should scare people with covid horror stories”, they will do it
If they dont do it, they will be vilified, and/or sacked
The academic dog learns very fast this conditioning, and when the professor sees the reward, he also salivates
Biden has always been a warmonger & the idea that he’s a communist or a socialist is a sad joke.
Terrible article. Ben appears to think these lies are a surprise? The typical Amerikan sheeple has a default setting where they expect everyone in public life to lie to them. Most Amerikans think that leaders & celebrities who claim to tell the truth are weirdos.
We served the parasites for too long, and this is a harvesting–completely “normal”.
Aldous Huxley was Eric Blair’s (George Orwell) French teacher at Eaton. Both were Fabian Socialists.
Fabian Socialism is very slow communism for those who don’t know.
Politics is littered with them, in ALL parties. How can you be a Conservative Politician, like Theresa May, and be a Fabian socialist? Precisely!
Huxley and Orwell both new what was coming. There was no prescience in their novels whatsoever.
I wonder if the author, of this article, has been reading my comments on the truthseeker? I’ve been writing about Pavlov for quite some time now.
Unfortunately greedy people are ALSO amazingly stupid. Lynching will inevitably come.
It’s happened many many times before. You can ONLY push so far then you lose control of the security forces.
Once you have lost those young people you end up swinging on a rope or with your head in a basket.
Huxley & Orwell were active Fabians & they framed today’s societal mess. To say this was socialism or communism is just plain wrong. The Tavistock Institue has long been about big society control/brainwashing. The gradual doling out to voting and then to women, soon to 16yr olds and AI robots because the WEF will demand it. All these required new systems of control.
Capitalism never really worked. As the world becomes flatter, economically speaking, all the crude edges that made capitalism appear to work have been worn away & now we have a 400yr + system under threat. LJR doesn’t care who has the upper hand. His attitude is probably: ‘You’re my managers, you do what you need to so you have control.
Mark makes a good point, none of the Rothchild’s lost their heads. No great families who hold Rothschild’s wealth went bust during the Wall St. crash or during the Great Depression. We are just about to have a ‘give away’ budget, the US is throwing $$$ at the sheeple. All good fun.
“How far will the shunning go? The corporate press now regularly floats the idea of denying medical care to people who refuse a COVID vaccine.”………… I t occurred to me that the people who refuse a covid “vaccine” will probably be a lot healthier, and soaking up lots of vitamin D, –and they very well may Not be seeking “medical care” ! ! !
For Heaven’s sake. Stop wanking.
This is not complicated. It’s a Jewish world take-over in service to a fulfillment of Jewish messianic prophecy. This includes the eradication of the Goyim.
It’s not complicated, it’s just hard to accept that this is reality for anyone who isn’t Jew-Wise. But it is reality. Acceptance is key before the problem can be addressed.
Christopher Jon Bjerknes explains in a very scholarly way exactly how we got to this point in History in his book Beware The World To Come.

What say you are persistent with your “truth telling ”
Well my cell phone literally “blacks out” when accessing “Thetruthseeker ” website and also other sites.
There appears to be some sort of “redirection” taking place??.
This is probably to do with the use of a VPN…..they have now,it seems,successfully circumvented this…..
Weird things like using a server in The Netherlands sometimes results in German advertisements showing up….or a server in Japan sometimes features Chinese adverts with Chinese hieroglyphics rather than Japanese ….
Naturally You Tube has cancelled my access….AGAIN….they dont like comments on certain videos which,while perfectly legal ,dont conform to “state ideology”…..cant have that,no can we……that would be free speech.
Mind you these Big Tech zio-companies are now so out of control they are threatening legitimately elected democratic governments…..
Just to make it easy for the public….The Elder of Zion ZUCKERBERG……ACTUALLY LOOKS EVIL!!.
Read Lockstep from the Rockefeller Foundation and then READ THIS https://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/our-work/pubs_archive/pubs-pdfs/2017/spars-pandemic-scenario.pdf . Man has no future as this is more than a massive genocide but an omnicide that nothing will survive from. Creatures are gone, not from global warming but the heavy metals and pathogens released around the world by every government with control of the air ways and if you don’t understand Geoengineering and the latest of Transhumanism in documents that go back to the 1980s, 1990s and especially those of early 2000, nano-technology can be implanted into your system that includes robotics that are so small that it can pass through any cell membrane including your brain. It’s part of Liquid computing and will rule every aspect of your life including what you think, how you behave and report of every physiological aspect of your body and your bodily functions through IoT as IoS, the Internet of Senses is now well on it’s way with Occulus and those that accept to become part of the hive mentality will never have a life of their own. This is the last step, the fake covid garbage which cannot even isolate the virus and so it is not identified but is part of reverse engineering of the human gnome. It’s plunge will be the last time you are human as you will be nothing more than a GMO to experiment on. This arsenal is also put on the test swabs.
