In 1943, the Lutheran pastor and member of the German resistance, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, was arrested and incarcerated in Tegel Prison. There he meditated on the question of why the German people—in spite of their vast education, culture, and intellectual achievements—had fallen so far from reason and morality. He concluded that they, as a people, had been afflicted with collective stupidity (German: Dummheit).

He was not being flippant or sarcastic, and he made it clear that stupidity is not the opposite of native intellect. On the contrary, the events in Germany between 1933 and 1943 had shown him that perfectly intelligent people were, under the pressure of political power and propaganda, rendered stupid—that is, incapable of critical reasoning.

A charismatic leader can get a great number of sheeple to sacrifice their own best interest to the best interest of that leader.

Seems like a lot of people have stupidly crippled their own immune systems.

aggressively gullible

I have a bit of trouble labeling people as 'stupid' for falling for psyops.

I was filming a piece to camera in Sydney when a stranger interrupted to call me a "f**kwit for spreading dangerous misinformation".

It went about as well for him as you'd expect.

*This video is BANNED on Facebook, Instagram & YouTube. It would be a shame if it went viral here.

The Asch Conformity Experiment (1951), the Milgram Experiment (1961-1963), and the Stanford Prison Experiment (1971) are generally viewed as warnings about the dark side of human nature and the ever-lurking danger of fascism. But after the events of the last three years I’m starting to see them differently. It seems that somewhere along the way, the CIA, deep state, or various powers that be adopted these experiments as instruction manuals for how to set up totalitarianism throughout the developed world. ...

The latest VAERS Covid vaccine mortality numbers (people reported dead following a Covid shot) look like this:




It strikes me that this is an Asch Conformity Experiment that has now been imposed upon all 330 million Americans. This is no longer an isolated lab experiment, this is the society that we live in today.

Sane people look at this chart and observe that the red bars in 2021, 2022, and thus far in 2023 — that represent vaccine fatalities reported to VAERS — are larger than the bars in years 1990 to 2020.

But if you speak with Tony Fauci, Rochelle Walenksy, Robert Califf, Francis Collins, Ashish Jha, Vivek Murthy, Peter Marks, or President Biden, they will all tell you that every bar on this chart is the same length.

If you speak with Rachel Maddow, Anderson Cooper, or Chris Hayes, they will tell you to your face that all of the bars on this chart are the same length. ...

The powerful pressure to conform that Asch observed in 1951 is ratcheted up all the more in our current system where you will lose your job and be permanently exiled from polite society if you tell the truth. The drug cartel has doctors over a barrel because the hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical school debt that most of them carry is extremely difficult to discharge in bankruptcy. Anyone who fails to conform to this lie faces financial ruin.

So what does this tell us?

It tells us that western allopathic medicine is dishonest, that western allopathic medicine is a totalitarian system, and that western allopathic medicine is an existential threat to the future of humanity.

It tells us that if you listen to the CDC or your doctor you are putting your health at risk.

It tells us that our society has already fallen to the fascists.

It tells us that when we take power we must denazify medicine, denazify public health, denazify government and the media, and prosecute everyone involved in this corrupt and genocidal system.

It also tells us that our epistemology must be to trust intuition, trust experience, and trust our own senses in order to survive in a world gone completely mad.

I went on a twitter thread called BringBackMasks a few days ago. It was apparently started in response to a lot of medical settings in the USA dropping facemask requirements. While I can celebrate knowing that I can finally enter these places and get a medical or dental procedure done I couldn’t help but feel sorry for the remaining virtue signalers. I guess it’s like the Japanese soldiers found on some remote island years after World War 2 who didn’t know that it was finished. It’s a religious zealotry that will never go away and the sincere ones I suspect have brains that are permanently broken.

More and more people are beginning to realise that they were lied to...

Official figures show the triple jabbed made up 92% of covid deaths. And the mortality rate in 2022 was lowest among those who rejected the lethal jabs.

Their circulatory system, including their heart may be adversely affected. They may be more likely to develop infections. They may be more likely to develop cancer or, if they’ve had it, to develop metastases, and their brain may be affected.

You may not have known all that because the truth has been suppressed by the medical establishment, which was bought, lock stock and syringe by the pharmaceutical industry, and by the mainstream media, which was bought by your government. When advertising dried up during the lockdowns, governments spent huge amounts of taxpayers’ money placing propaganda ads in the media and kept newspapers and TV stations alive. ...

The people the jabbed SHOULD blame fall into two groups: the doctors who gave the jab without doing a little research and without telling their patients the truth, and the mainstream media who suppressed the truth and published lies: in particular the four most evil propaganda units of modern times Google, YouTube, Wikipedia and the BBC. The staff of these wretched, discredited organisations are all mass murderers for their part in suppressing the truth and demonising the truth-tellers. ...

Today, sudden adult death syndrome is commonplace, and media doctors compete to find bizarre excuses for this. Doctors and journalists pretend that daily unexpected deaths are normal. The one cause they never blame – the covid jab.

Doctors are still injecting healthy people with the covid-19 jab – the most deadly pharmaceutical product in history. It doesn’t do what they said it would do but it does do what I said it would do – it kills people. ...

The truth is that vaccinators were very well paid to help sustain the lie. They got their huge fees through fraud and deception.

I’d arrest anyone who ever worked for Pfizer or any of the evil, blood soaked, greedy organisations. I’ve been writing about their fraud for decades. And I’d arrest all those who promoted, endorsed, defended and gave the damned covid jabs.

They are true believers; they have taken their free consciousness and signed it up for a lifetime subscription to a Belief Plan. It's not at all surprising that this happens to folks with a certain way of seeing the world. The desire for a social fabric that hangs together, that makes sense in the way they want the world to make sense; that promotes good in a way they can align with. The only problem is that all of this hangs upon unexamined premises; the level of unquestioning trust they grant to "leaders" of the political class, or the medical elite sets them up for a fall. It's not just that they believe, but that with all their being they WANT to believe, and that short circuits their faculty for examining the facts on the ground and comparing them against what is claimed to be true. To not believe would be too painful and too threatening to their belief in the social construct they have pledged allegiance to.

As we know from Asch conformity experiments, the inability to recognize the brainwashing comes from a variety of effects at once:

The desire to avoid social punishment,

The desire to climb the social ladder, and

Distortion of perception (not rare, but not extremely common).

Those who defaulted to hide and wait for the danger to pass, felt endangered by those seekers of relief through questioning and problem solving, as this felt like being forced to confront, and being exposed to, the very danger being hid from. Meanwhile, those who defaulted to seek answers and solutions felt endangered by those who escaped through hiding, as the seekers then couldn’t find enough of a feeling in safety in numbers.

In particular, I have seen very negative reactions when seekers attempt to bring more and more data and information to try to get the hiders in their family and friends groups, to face the problems. Unfortunately, this just sent them further into hiding, and they became ever more avoidant of the seekers, eventually ending up as ostracization, silencing and censoring. This, in turn, just ratcheted up the sense of danger for the seekers, who tended to double down on the bombarding with data, and in an increasingly raised, frustrated tone of voice. So each “side” ended up defeating each others strategy for relief, and everyone remained stressed.

Our threat detection system is calibrated differently for men and women. Women may be twice as sensitive to danger because they frequently look out not only for themselves, but also for infants in their care. Dr. McCullough and I have often observed that the greatest soldiers of the medical freedom movement are mothers who quickly detected that our ruling class is full of predators. ...

By constant fear-mongering, our health agencies and media conditioned us to:

1). Excessively and indiscriminately fear COVID-19 without consideration for the fact that it’s a markedly risk-stratified illness.

2). Irrationally fear early treatment modalities such as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, which are (in fact) some of the safest drugs known to man.

Through its COVID-19 PSYOP, our government and media generated an overwhelming desire for anything that would deliver us from the purported danger. This, in turn, made us vulnerable to the lie that the so-called COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective. The result of this PSYOP was an extreme distortion of reality that enabled our overlords to hijack and pervert our natural capacity for fear.

Thus we witnessed the bizarre spectacle of pregnant mothers receiving the new, experimental gene transfer shot, even though pregnant women were excluded from the human trials. Contrast this with hydroxychloroquine, which has, for decades, been known to be perfectly safe for pregnant women, with hundreds of millions of doses tolerated by this cohort in tropical countries where malaria is endemic.

In the United States it has long been standard for pregnant women to abstain from drinking a single glass or wine or eating raw-milk cheese, but many of these same women lined up to receive the experimental shots developed at “Warp Speed.” This was a stark example of the “fear programming” that Mr. de Becker elucidates in his interview.

Another stunning perversion of fear was the false claim that COVID-19 posed a significant risk to young athletes, while simultaneously insisting the mRNA COVID-19 shots present none. In fact, it’s the opposite, with young athletes at virtually zero risk of severe COVID-19, but especially susceptible to vaccine-induced myocarditis and pericarditis.
