Manipulation of minds is a well-studied science, has been applied already for centuries, but is getting ever more sophisticated. For example, the many poignant assertions, Joseph Goebbels, Hitlers Minister of Propaganda (1933 to 1945), included, <em>\u201cif you repeat a lie often enough it becomes the truth<\/em>\u201d; or <em>\u201cif you make people believe in the threat of an enemy, they\u2019ll do your bidding\u201d<\/em>\u2013 and <em>\u201cdivide and polarize them, destroy their solidarity, and they follow your command\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Today we have become more sophisticated. While fear is still the weapon of choice \u2013 imagine an invisible enemy that everybody is scared of \u2013 we have digitally observant media, algorithms and robots that focus on your thinking, how you react and deal with social media, or what websites you consult, and where and what you shop. This is just to mention a few points of information. Today there are on average about 200 such data to be electronically computed, so as to sway your opinion and to make you believe the most flagrant lies.<\/p>\n<p>You may recognize what covid is doing to you and at what state of manipulation we are \u2013 how close to the slaughterhouse are we? The seven stages below synthesize the book <em>\u2018Influence, The Power of Persuasion\u2019, by<\/em> Robert Cialdini.<\/p>\n<p>Hypnotherapists have been noticing blatant hypnosis and Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) techniques being used by the government and state-controlled media. NPL is a psychological approach that involves analyzing strategies used by successful individuals and applying them to reach a personal goal. It relates thoughts, language, and patterns of behavior learned through experience to specific outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>Listen to this:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Fractionation:<\/p>\n<p>You get them to do something not once, but again and again, increasing the level of intensity each time. Usually, you do it 3 times. (At the first lockdown I said \u2013 watch out, there\u2019ll be a 2nd and a 3rd) This increases compliance \u2013 you\u2019re much more likely to get them to do whatever you want.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">A \u2018Yes\u2019 set:<\/p>\n<p>Get them to say \u2018Yes\u2019 to something small at first (just two weeks to \u201cflatten the curve\u201d) then gradually increase (months of lockdown, Christmas cancelled, socially\/economically coerced into vaccines). In this way they\u2019re much more likely to keep saying yes. (There would\u2019ve been riots if they\u2019d said in March lockdowns will carry on through Christmas.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Confusion:<\/p>\n<p>Keep them in a constant state of uncertainty. The conscious mind responds to this by \u2018going offline\u2019 as it searches for the appropriate response for something it has no precedent for. Then it\u2019s much easier for the manipulator to gain access to the unconscious mind and change belief systems. For example, lockdown rules are changing on practically a day-to-day basis; we\u2019re living in a world we\u2019ve never lived in before, everyone\u2019s stumbling about with no idea how to behave. We\u2019ve no energy left to fight our oppressors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Repetition:<\/p>\n<p>Repeat the same information over and over (see any newspaper \/ TV news for evidence of this!)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Illusion of Choice<\/p>\n<p>Make them believe they\u2019re in control by giving them 2 choices, both of which lead to the same result. For example, \u2018Do you want the Pfeizer or the Oxford?\u2019 or \u2018You can choose to be good or bad. Bad = more lockdown. Good = more lockdown.\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201cSocial Proof\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook, all these great celebrities are backing it!\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201cScarcity\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ll have to wait your turn for the vaccine\u2026 we might be running out\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And so many more\u2026 All classic psychological control techniques. Once you see it, you can\u2019t un-see it.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the book <em>\u2018Influence\u2019, The Power of Persuasion\u2019<\/em> by Robert Cialdini \u2013 all the methods he talks about are being used daily in the news and other media.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u2014<\/p>\n<p>If we realize in time that this is what is happening to us, that this theory applied is behind covid and using covid for a much more freedom encroaching ulterior goal \u2013 total control of humanity, of people\u2019s behavior, of food, of resources \u2013 over whether people live or die \u2013 and of the world\u2019s riches \u2013 then we might have a chance to break out from the herd that storms towards the abyss \u2013 or the slaughterhouse.<\/p>\n<p>Waking up \u2013 protesting \u2013 disobeying \u2013 and reconnecting with each other.
