So what gives? Why have academics proved to be so remarkably immune to seeing what's happening in the world, despite the fact that the evidence is beating them over the head on a daily basis?

Here's my theory:

The truth hurts.

I don't just mean that in the way that your emotionally abusive ex-girlfriend meant it when she told you her new boyfriend had a bigger dick. Frankly she's a bitch, and probably nothing she says is true, king, so just put whatever she said out of your mind. You're better off without her.

I mean it quite literally: the truth, when it contradicts what you think is true, is interpreted by your brain as more or less the same thing as physical pain. To be more specific, that's probably your left brain talking, since it's your left brain that falls in love with simplified models of reality and readily rejects facts that contradict those models. That just a bit of nuance that doesn't affect the central point, which is that it hurts to accept something that violates a previously held belief.

Learning takes effort at a biological level. The brain has to grow new connections, which means it has to invest time and energy in that rather than in just using the existing pathways. That's hard enough when it's learning something that doesn't contradict previously assimilated information. It's much worse when it contradicts something that is already believed. In that case, the brain has to go back and undo connections that were already made, as well as make the new connections. All that work - for nothing! And the deeper and more fundamental the assumption, the more concepts it connects to, the more beliefs that are built on it which must now be re-examined, the more reluctant the brain is to modify it ... the more painful undoing that assumption is. ...

If you went through it, you know just how wrenching it is, as the awful realization sets in that you were lied to, that you were gullible enough to be deceived, and that you now have to re-examine everything you once believed about the world. To say nothing of the isolation that comes with the knowledge that, with most people, you simply cannot speak of these things.

If you did this, congratulations - you felt the pain of truth, and rather than shying away from it, you moved forward, into the pain. Something inside you understood that the pain was a small price to pay for the truth.

It's much worse when it contradicts something that is already believed. In that case, the brain has to go back and undo connections that were already made, as well as make the new connections.

That does not seem to be an issue when following a particular cult. For example, Dems had no problem changing from distrust of big corporations and having strong free speech advocacy to becoming Bi Pharma Brown Shirts and censorship advocates just because the Dem party told them to.

It’s Stockholm Syndrome.

It actually makes a lot of sense. Think about it — if you’re a captive of someone who possesses overwhelming and superior force, you’re going to be miserable either way [whether you fight back or submit]. But from an evolutionary standpoint, if you go along with the more powerful force, you improve your odds of survival, somewhat. It’s unfortunate, but it’s true. It’s rational. This is a glitch in human evolution [because it rewards cowardice] and it’s been going on for thousands of years. In Covid, the other side took advantage of this evolutionary glitch, and capitalized on it. ...

This struck me as the best explanation I’ve heard for what we’ve been through — the insanity of the last four and a half years is the result of Stockholm Syndrome across the developed world. The biowarfare industrial complex figured out how much force and fear would be required to flip the switch in people’s brains from rational, decent, democratic people to fascists who love their captors. And that’s what they did starting in January of 2020 — it was the U.S. military’s Shock & Awe doctrine applied to the American people and the citizens of Europe and Australasia. By mid-March 2020 the operation was complete and just required occasional reminders to keep people afraid. Once the switch is flipped it stays in that position until a new, more powerful force comes along. This is not mass formation and it’s not hypnosis, it’s Stockholm Syndrome. ...

Doctors and nurses killed the patients in their care because they just knew it was what the dominant class wanted. It was automatic and instantaneous. It produced no guilt and felt virtuous.

The entire profession of public health implemented a genocide across the developed world because the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation wanted it to be done.

The mainstream media and the government just knew they had to censor anyone and everyone who questioned the dominant narrative no matter how well sourced because that’s just what good people like them do (even though it’s never been done on this scale before).

Colleges and universities just knew that they had to force the students in their care to inject themselves with toxic substances even though all data showed that this would kill more students than it would help — because that’s what the dominant culture called for.

And intellectual titans including Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, James Surowiecki, and others were reduced to grotesque sniveling gollums who abandoned all of their education and principles to demand that people serve the fascist Pharma state.

This radical transformation of society did not even require much coordination because it all operates through hegemony — the gravitational pull and evolutionary glitch that causes people to obey.

The torture playbook used by the CCP on American POWs of Korean War was deployed during COVID ...

Sociologist Albert Biderman outlined the torture and brainwashing methods used by the CCP on American Korean War POWs. The 8 steps are also found in domestic abuse to psychologically break its victims. During COVID tyranny, these coercion techniques were deployed at mass scale. Despite writing this passage in its Report on Torture, Amnesty International sided with Trudeau against the truckers and remained silent about these flagrant human rights abuses

Most people who brainwash...use methods similar to those of prison guards who recognize that physical control is never easily accomplished without the cooperation of the prisoner. The most effective way to gain that cooperation is through subversive manipulation of the mind and feelings of the victim, who then becomes a psychological, as well as a physical, prisoner.

Step 1: Isolation

Deprives victim of all social support of their ability to resist. Develops an intense concern with self. Makes victim dependent.

Stay at home, save lives! Cancel Thanksgiving! Don’t visit grandma, it could kill her!

Step 2: Monopolization of perception

Fixes attention upon immediate predicament. Eliminates information not in compliance with demands. Punishes independence and or resistance, blames victim for abuse (DARVO).

Censor COVID misinformation! Don’t be a superspreader! BLM protests are good, anti lockdown protests are bad!

Step 3: Induced debilitation and exhaustion

Weakens mental and physical ability to resist. Demeaning Punishments with insults and taunts. Denial of privacy.

Close the gyms and churches! Shut down the parks! Opening schools will kill teachers and kids!

Step 4: Threats

Cultivates anxiety and despair. Threats of endless interrogation and isolation.

Call the snitch hotline! Cops will arrest you! Your business will be fined for operating!

Step 5: Occasional indulgences

Provides positive motivation. Occasional favors. Fluctuations of attitudes.

If cases go down for a month, then we will reopen restaurants!

Step 6: Demonstrating omnipotence and omniscience

Suggests futility of resistance. Demonstrating complete control over victim's fate. Confrontation, cooperation taken for granted.

Follow The Science! Get the jab or lose your job! Put anti-science conspiracy theorists in quarantine camps!

Step 7: Degradation

Makes cost of resistance appear more damaging to self‐esteem than capitulation. Reduces prisoner to "animal level"concerns. Public humiliation with verbal abuse and name calling.

Antivaxxers are looking at a winter of death and disease! Joe Rogan is using horse dewormer! Unvaccinated MAGAts should not be allowed into hospitals!

Step 8: Enforcing trivial demands

Develops habit of compliance. Punishes for noncompliance with RULESEwhich are rigid and unrealistic. Frequently changes the rules.

6 feet apart! Mask up! Get tested!

now the covid psyop was deliberate. we know that. the receipts are legion. intelligence and military agencies all over the world took over health messaging and took fear porn propaganda to levels perhaps never before achieved in human history.

and it got REALLY out of hand, likely far more so than was planned but once you rub the lamp, genies like this do not go back inside without wreaking havok and fulfilling your wishes in the most perverse of all possible fashions.

the confluence of authority stressors was simply too acute for much of humanity.

and much of humanity broke.




... many will never recover. and they are all around us now, among us, anxious, addled, and irrational waiting with alert intensity for the next opportunity to be outraged. it’s their literal raison d’etre. they have become instantiations of indignation haunting the earth like specters seeking reasons to howl and assault the living.

there is no cohabitation with such angry ghosts. they do no seek succor. they seek rage. rage as purpose. rage as praxis. rage against the dying of their own minds.

it cannot be reasoned with or assuaged. there is no compromise. ...

this has some meaningful implications:

it means that if you rely on push information, you’re going to live underneath a firehose of rage spray. it’s what gets sent so it’s what you’ll get. that message becomes the medium of social media, the carrier wave, the modal meme.

anger. hate. fear.

the big news networks are even worse than social media because they are dying so they lie and outrage to distort the facts underpinning the mindscapes of their brainwashed followers and because pissing you off just makes you spread it further when you complain about it. it’s just memetic evolution to maximize replication.

so if you want real information, you need to pull it.

go look for it. ...

know who you are and curate what you pay attention to.

that’s it.

do that and you win.

[Verse 1]
Show me how to lie, you're getting better all the time
And turning all against the one is an art that's hard to teach
Another clever word sets off an unsuspecting herd
And as you step back in the line, a mob jumps to their feet

[Pre-Chorus]
Now dance, fucker, dance, man, he never had a chance
And no one even knew it was really only you
And now you steal away
Take him out today
Nice work you did
You're gonna go far, kid

[Chorus]
With a thousand lies and a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes, hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away, nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes, see 'em running for their lives

[Verse 2]
Slowly outta line and drifting closer in your sight
So play it out, I'm wide-awake, it's a scene about me
There's something in your way and now someone is gonna pay
And if you can't get what you want, well, it's all because of me
See The Offspring Live
Get tickets as low as $102
You might also like
[Pre-Chorus]
Now dance, fucker, dance, man, I never had a chance
And no one even knew it was really only you
And now you lead the way
Show the light of day
Nice work you did
You're gonna go far, kid (Trust deceived)

[Chorus]
With a thousand lies and a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes, hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away, nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes, see 'em running for their lives

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
Now dance, fucker, dance, he never had a chance
And no one even knew it was really only you
And so dance, fucker, dance, I never had a chance
It was really only you

[Chorus]
With a thousand lies and a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes, hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away, nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes, see 'em running for their lives
Clever alibis, Lord of the Flies
Hit 'em right between the eyes, hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away, nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes, see 'em running for their lives

You, the Malone Bourla Bancel Weissman et al. mRNA vaccinee are plagued with Stockholm Syndrome.
Not mass formation psychosis, that was to deceive you…not hypnosis, no…you are not hypnotized. You are not deranged. No.

Psychiatrists compare the behavior to the wartime shell shock exhibited by soldiers and explained that the hostages and captives and those abused became/become emotionally indebted to their abductors or captors or those harming them, as in the mRNA technology inventors and vaccine makers. That the COVID mRNA technology inventors and mRNA vaccine makers can be killing those taking their technology, they have somehow convinced the vaccinees that they are doing good by them and that they are not the bad guys. When they are and were.

We have addled minds now. Ensconced in this Stockholm. ...

One captive even wanted to have a baby with the captor.

I am convinced many takers of the COVID mRNA technology vaccine (Malone Bourla Bancel Sahin Weissman et al.) are in a state of Stockholm Syndrome. It is the only explanation that you can donate money to people who have sought to and have killed your families etc. And show no remorse and no explanation and no inclination to fix the deadly mRNA technology and vaccine development actions they are part of.

We knew out of the box, we knew before January 2021 when the mRNA vaccines were released that they were DOA, were ineffective and harmful. What we thought as to how bad the mRNA vaccines would be, we found out it was far worse as Malone the money whore, Bourla the money whore, Bancel the money whore, Sahin the money whore, Weissman the money whore et al. and all fame and media and power whores…we found out who these people were with Hahn, Marks, Woodcock et al. That these bitches who your Stockholm syndrome entrapment have confused you over, would partake and sit silent on how ineffective the mRNA vaccine was on stopping infection, replication, or transmission. Silent. Until deaths accumulated and they could not hide it anymore. They shilled until could shill no more. ...

While Stockholm Syndrome trapped and befuddled and addled you. That still to now, in your Stockholm entrapment, there remains not one randomized controlled trial (placebo controlled), not one proper methodologically sound comparative effectiveness research study, that shows the Malone Bourla Bancel et al. mRNA vaccine reducing hospitalization, infection, ICU, deaths etc. Not one in adults or children. Not one. What exists are weak observational type research designs plagued with residual confounding biases, healthy vaccinee bias, no control for natural immunity, treatments, co-morbidities etc. No long-lived plasma cells (LLPCs) key to lasting durable immunity.

Yet it spikes IgG4 (immune tolerance) antibodies, a dangerous class switch. Plunges to negative effectiveness where the vaccinated get re-infected. That these bitches knowing you were trapped in their orchestrated Stockholm Syndrome, knew that you had a 99.998% risk of survival 75 years old and below…that healthy people had a near statistical zero chance of severe outcome if exposed or infected (if you accept this).

So, did you, like the Stockholm bank employees who were captives, hostages, develop feelings, or care, or warmth, or love, or concern, for your ‘captors’ and in this case, the captors being the mRNA technology developers and mRNA vaccine makers despite clear accumulated and prior evidence that their invention etc. was deadly? And was killing precious people around you? Are our government health officials and CDC, NIH, FDA etc. officials akin to the captors? And we identify with them and care for them, even as they kill us?

Sorry to hear it. I'm worried I'll keep on hearing these stories for years.

"How can we get people to fight for prosecution of the criminals who
mandated that shit and lied about it?"

Sure, the proof is obvious, but the people who took the vaxx simply refuse to think about it. It makes them too fearful and regretful.

How can we get them to think about mandating justice?

The FACT that far more world citizens are dying than in the years before the Covid “vaccines” is also an area that’s produced no normal curiosity about why this might be the case.

Estimates vary on how many “excess deaths” have happened since 2021, but just about every estimate produces numbers in the hundreds of thousands if not many millions.

Speaking for myself, in modern history, I can’t think of another example where officials displayed zero curiosity or interest in identifying causes that are (or even may be) killing vast numbers of our fellow citizens.

(If this question has been asked by authorities, the only accepted answers that might explain “excess deaths” would be Climate Change or “Long Covid’ - theories which insult the intelligence of those who can read and think for themselves.)

The largest “elephant in the room” in world history is a certain mRNA injection that more than 60 percent of the world’s population began to receive in late 2020.

One could break down all-cause deaths (and severe, life-altering injuries) by probably 50 different clinical manifestations including strokes, heart attacks, rapidly-developing cancers, auto-immune diseases, or just random “sudden deaths.” ...

I’d also note that a serious inquiry was never performed that revealed that virtually no healthy person under the age of, say, 50, faced any real mortality risk from the novel coronavirus.

Instead, the official narrative was that everyone faced mortality risk of dying from Covid-19, even if a random and young citizen’s probability of dying from this disease was lower than the odds the same person would be struck by lighting in a given year.

This fact could and should have been “confirmed” by March or April 2020 … but wasn’t.

1. Employers do not want to acknowledge that they may have mandated employees to get a jab, that with hindsight, they should not have done so and potentially stir up class action lawsuits and so cannot be seen to be interested professionally – and are not willing or are too scared to expose themselves privately. There is a lot of fear of legal action on employers by employees if the government and the legal system accept that it should never have been mandated and advice reversed.

2. Larger professional services firms have earned hundreds of millions of $$$ selling advertising and consulting services – and do not wish to be associated with an event that could implicate them in any way – in particular the ability to secure future work. Even though they totally agree privately that the mRNA rollout should be stopped. They are concerned that all future such revenues would be stopped if their firms were associated with ‘outing’ the entire fraud that it so clearly was.

3. People who have been jabbed are ‘bad news resistant’. They even seem to be ‘protocol advice to help heal’ resistant.

4. I have learned a lot over the last 3 months in terms of who is interested in learning more about our topic – and who is not – and why they are not interested. I have been shocked and saddened at some of what I have learned. It has also made me have to snap out of a similar naivety I had to also snap out of 10 years ago, when I learned that child sex trafficking was a real thing. Greed and Power at any cost seems to be the order of the day with so many involved directly and indirectly. And ‘following orders’. It is sad and horrible to have to swallow and understand. Especially with friends whom I thought would rise above all the nonsense.

5. Having said that countries like Slovakia have stopped the use of and roll out of mRNA – I heard that El Salvador will be doing the same – and a few other countries are close behind.

6. Of course, the BIG hope is that RFK Jr gets into power and can stop it in the USA – which will mean many of the other sheep nations around the world will follow. Plus of course we have Andrew Bridgen whom you know as Chairman of our Advisory Council at The Truth Contract.

7. Many ordinary people are waking up to C19 and it having been a big scam, that should not have happened. But sadly, there is also a lot of governmental and corporate momentum to ‘forgive and forget’ and ‘sweep it all under the rug’ and ‘move on’ hoping it doesn't come back to bite them in the a__ later.

8. It has been an ‘interesting’ and frustrating few months talking to people – all of whom accept that what we would have discussed and shared at the event is likely ‘true’ and ‘useful’ information – but it just seems that they feel it’s too risky to be associated with such an event in a professional capacity.

9. All of the interest that we have received has been from people who had intuitively avoided the jab altogether (but don't really understand the longer-term dangers to the wider population – even though they accept that they must exist) or those who took one or two shots and then suffered some kind of adverse reaction (and equally don't understand the wider implications but are concerned at their lack of knowledge). These folk are interested in finding out more. But they are ‘consumers’ (like the Highwire audience) vs business and governmental decision makers.

10. There are polar differences in attitudes of “Family Office” principals (how to gain from the mess) vs next gen (how to solve the mess – but who fear breaking free and doing something about it). One example of “Family Office” principals being the Gates Foundation people, as well as physicians who specialize in caring for the families of high-net-worth persons.

11. There is controlled opposition embedded within alt media – which are functionally focused on creating fear porn vs creating solutions.

Sure, the proof is obvious, but the people who took the vaxx simply refuse to think about it. It makes them too fearful and regretful.

How can we get them to think about mandating justice?

"Sure, the proof is obvious, but the people who took the vaxx
simply refuse to think about it."

-It was a test. 81% of America took an experimental vaccine. A test to see how far they could push us…How quickly they could divide us…How much they could control us. They pitted us against one another and divided this country like never before and we have never recovered. America. Failed. The. Test.

-Why would they stop dividing us now? They have America on the run. Step right up folks and pick a president. Trump or Harris? Much like Unvaccinated or Vaccinated? Same tune, different lyrics. We’re playing right into “their” evil, globalist plans.

-Trump: rolled out an experimental vaccine via Operation Warp Speed. Shut the country down for 2 weeks which kicked off the chain reaction. Continues to praise OWS and the vaccine today despite all the information coming to light on the harms of the vaccine. Why? Does he not know what has happened as a result of OWS and the mRNA vaccines? Trump is either stupid or compromised. I do not know how else to describe it.

-Harris: 2nd in command during the Biden administration which mandated the experimental vaccine yet today proudly touts “my body, my choice,” which clearly didn’t matter an iota when women across the country were mandated to receive the deadly mRNA juice. Then they women, had NO choice. Were forced to take the vaccine to live, to work, to provide for their families. Why? Does Harris know about the devastation of the mRNA vaccine? Harris is either stupid or compromised. I do not know how else to describe it.

A common lie people told themselves was “My mask is for your protection”. But nobody ever believed their own mask worked, as my young man proved, unless others were also flying colors of submission. It was the same for the vax. People rushed like electrically jolted lemmings to get the vax, egged on by Experts. They believed in its powers implicitly—but only up to a point. Tell the vaxxed that they were in the presence of an unvaxxed person and suddenly their own vax gave up its powers! They recoiled like a vampire seeing a crucifix.
