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.
PRINCETON, NJ — Scientists have concluded a years-long study confirming the indisputable correlation between people putting trust in their government and people also eating paint chips.
The study results come at a time when more and more people believe our country's financial, political, and social problems can be solved by a powerful central government, just like Venezuela.
"Not only did paint chip eaters trust their government," said study co-author, Dr. Reynolds Swarthington while struggling to maintain a straight face, "but trust in government also ranked high among gasoline sniffers, toad lickers, and oven cleaner huffers."
During the five-year study following ingesters of leaded paint flakes, researchers stumbled upon myriad other conditions among the group, such as believing money grew on magical trees, socialism had benefits, and gender was some type of fluid.
In response to the published results, lawmakers proposed a bill supporting a universal basic paint chip supply for all Americans, to be funded by the magical money trees.

The embarrassment wherein he finds himself produces in him the most unjust and criminal passions imaginable, for he conceives a mortal hatred against that truth which blames him and convinces him of his faults.
Any group that has a feeling of resentment can be turned into attack dogs.
Resentment against criminals, politicians, the oligarchy etc
GNL says
Resentment against criminals, politicians, the oligarchy etc
Yes, but the productive people who are fed up with such crooks will not use violence to go after them. The productive people have to remove the crooks through a legal system compromised by the crooked pols and oligarchs.
The core of wokeness seems to be the cultivation and weaponization of resentment, and the CCP figured this out a long time ago.
Children often resent their parents' power over them, so children can become weapons for the criminal oligarchy/deep state.
Women often resent men's strength and status, so women can become weapons for the criminal oligarchy/deep state.
Gays/trannies often resent the normalcy and happiness of straights, so gays/trannies can become weapons for the criminal oligarchy/deep state.
Any group that has a feeling of resentment can be turned into attack dogs.
The embarrassment wherein he finds himself produces in him the most unjust and criminal passions imaginable, for he conceives a mortal hatred against that truth which blames him and convinces him of his faults.

A highly repetitive news cycle lamented gruesome details that lead to prolific fear and prolonged terrorization. Public health directors talked in confusing circles and issued senseless protocols that did little to help address any of the proposed problems. Suicide rates skyrocketed during the lockdowns shining a dim light on the internal terror many were struggling with during isolation. (Suicide Rates Rise, Spotlighting Pandemic’s Mental Health Toll, 2022)
The lucifer effect truly emerged as we saw the global wardens collaborate on what the conditions were for release, a mandatory experimental medical product. For some who were deeply tormented by the fear of an illness, submitting to this was an overwhelming relief. They quickly clung to the hope it offered while ignoring that those who had committed the worst atrocities during this time, were also the ones offering the solutions. They fell into dogmatic thinking, and mass psychosis, and welcomed forced physical measures. They quickly became the guards, using social pressure, physical violence, and threats to force their ‘solution” to the current problem. "Even individuals who are inherently moral in character and upbringing can, in a corruptive social setting, be induced to act dishonorably and unethically."
Initial reports were that the product proposed would stop all transmission of the infection, and life would return to normal if everyone complied. (Pfizer, 2020) World leaders repeated that life could not be normal without compliance. As time went on the world realized a simple truth, the solution was likely worse than the problem. Despite an initial overwhelming compliance, mask mandates, vaccine mandates, and social restrictions lingered in place. Then, they demanded more injections.
Brave doctors, lawyers, and good humans (the observers) stood up and began telling the truth. The vaccine wasn’t working, it was hurting. The wardens and guards had become indifferent to the pain they were causing, the lives they were taking, and the torment they were continuing to inflict. Those who were adamant they retain the power they had assumed doubled down and tried to suppress any dissent. They revoked the licenses of doctors who opposed them, silenced those on social media who provided data and information on injuries or alternative treatments, ruined livelihoods, and started a propaganda campaign to strengthen their guards and amplify their cruelty.
America's Bizarre and Venal New Religions
The COVID-19 Cult and other strange forms of worship.
This morning a friend in Boston drew my attention to strange essay titled The School That Couldn’t Quit Covid, which tells the story of the Elizabeth Ann Clune Montessori School of Ithaca, New York. As the author, David Zweig, relates:
As of today, children at EACMSI are still required to mask indoors and outdoors. They are still prohibited from speaking during lunch. Second-graders who began school there as kindergarteners in fall 2020 have never experienced a normal day of school in their lives. …
This is the story of why EACMSI is among the last schools in America to still enforce such draconian measures. It is also the story of how, when faced with a crisis, many public health authorities—along with regular people and bureaucrats following the authorities’ lead—believed that the more extreme the response to the virus, the more wise and virtuous the policy. ...
Philosophers and anthropologists have long observed that humans seem to be inherently religious in nature. Thus, if people no longer believe in the God of Judaism or Christianity, they are left in a spiritual vacuum in which they feel an implacable yearning to believe in something else. Many of the social and political movements that are now afoot in America and Europe strike me as an expression of fervent religious energy.
During the pandemic we witnessed something like a COVID-19 Cult, with Dr. Anthony Fauci playing the role of a “scientific” Pontifex Maximus replete with Papal Infallibility. “I am science,” he proclaimed, suggesting that he is Science Incarnate.
The so called COVID-19 vaccines were conceived as our Salvation, and their purported safety and efficacy were adopted as Articles of Faith. Once people embraced these gene transfer products as safe and effective, no amount of empirical evidence to the contrary would dissuade them.
Even among some people who considered themselves Christian, the vaccines were conceived as more protective of life than Christ himself. Indeed, one Methodist church in Cape Town, South Africa, draped itself with a banner that explicitly announced this:
... I suppose that true believers consider the banner in Cape Town and the coin in Rome as artifacts of a religion corrupted by falsehood and false worship. I also suppose it’s no coincidence that many of the doctors who treated COVID-19 (instead of doing nothing and waiting for the heralded Vaccine Savior) were, to some degree, believers in the Jewish or Christian faith. Their faith in traditional, revealed religion made them disinclined to embrace the new religion of Scientism.
Global capitalism has no ideology … or, rather, its ideology is “reality.” When you have no ideological adversaries, you don’t need an ideology. You’re basically God. “Reality” is whatever you say it is, and whoever disagrees is a “science denier,” or a “conspiracy theorist,” or a “malinformationist,” or some other type of deluded “extremist.” You don’t need to argue ideology with anyone, because you have no ideological opponents. Society is divided into two fundamental groups, (a) “normal people,” who accept “reality,” and (b) the “deviants” and “extremists,” who do not. Your political and ideological opponents are pathologized, preemptively delegitimized. After all, who would argue against “reality” except liars and the clinically insane? ...
Anyway, the battlefield looks like this … you’ve got GloboCap conducting its Clear-and-Hold op, and you’ve got the reactionary (“populist”) backlash against it. And that’s it. Those are the only significant forces on the battlefield, currently. ...
The New Normal Left is obviously with GloboCap. New Normal Leftists will furiously deny this, as they shriek for more censorship of dissent and cheer for actual Sieg-heiling Nazis. Just as the “populist” Right cannot accept the fact that what it is opposing is a form of capitalism, the New Normal Left cannot accept the fact that it is aligned with a new form of totalitarianism. It is literally inconceivable to them. You can show them screenshots of their posts and Tweets in which they called for “the Unvaccinated” to be locked up in camps, and pictures of when they formed fanatical mobs and threatened people who wouldn’t chant their slogans, and they will look at you as if you are out of your mind.

Liberals defend their credentials which allow them to exploit those who don't have the same credentials. Credentials create monopolies, the ability to set high prices regardless of quality of service. It is a way to defeat free market competition.
The funding of universities depends entirely on the demand for their degrees, which they control. Their biggest horror would be a system where anyone could take tests to prove competence in a subject without paying for the years of classes and subjecting themselves to obedience to professors.
- Thomas Frank
Most of academia is less about learning than about paying for a paper proof of status and conformity. Non-conformists are expelled from schools, or failed out. Most teachers do not like their authority to be questioned. Bosses like the academic proof of conformity when they hire. The most "educated" are the most obedient.
Trump was a threat to their credentials and therefore a threat to their incomes and status.
The academic elite need a reason to hate those threatening themselves, therefore they use imaginary "racism", to which there is no defense. The accusation is the conviction.
Then they don't need to worry about the real class problem, which is independent of race. They would be uncomfortable looking at class, because they'd have to look at themselves and their unearned class privileges.
So their faith in the injection is faith in the "expert class" of which they are members, and they demand that the hoi polloi submit to it as an expression of the elite's power and prestige.
