Thanks for helping me keep my sanity Caitlin. I was at my mom's the other day fixing her computer once again and as always she has CNN on the TV & there was Blinken & some Ukrainian stooge hyperventilating about Russia this & Russia that. I didn't say a word as I can't compete with the deep self delusion she is in from watching this propaganda BS all day long. Think this is all a carry over from RussiaGate. She called me a Trumper some 5+ years ago when I called BS on RussiaGate. Our relationship has slowly degraded to the point we can't talk politics at all. We always end up yelling at each other. I no longer have the energy to try to get her or anyone else suffering what I call 'neoshitlibism' to pull their heads out & realize most all the death & misery in the world is caused by the new & improved axis of evil known as the USA, KSA, & Israel. There's no nuance. Everything is just black & white to these people and they are blind to the encroaching fascism on our world. One inkling of hope I have is that the CNN's of the world are cratering big time in ratings and many people are moving to independent news as they realize the MSM and the government can't be trusted in any way. It's all part of the imperialist capitalist inverted flat death spin into irrelevance that can't happen fast enough.

There can be no doubt the US has invested heavily in the psychology of mass manipulation, and it has proven effective. One tactic is pushing the envelope: if you can get away with one terrible action, it paves the way for the next. They understand the reluctance of the population to understand, because it is depressing for one thing, and incriminating for another. What good can be said of a country that exempts its military from foreign country prosecution, and state actors from the ICC? And to compound the evil it systematically demonizes, insults and ostracizes world leaders who don't belong to the club. As Caitlin says, this is not about relative evil: it is the US as fountainhead.

Steppenwolf wrote a song 'monster' back in I think 1970 about the inability of America to keep its nose out of other people's business. 'the whole world's gotta be just like us' was a line from the song. This warmongering neocon trait has been around a long time. Great summation BTW.

It's been a blessing to read some of your recent articles. It's so difficult nowadays to constantly here garbage news agencies spewing garbage being fed by our government and the Pentagon knowing the corruption they continue to feed us with their current track record.

I spent 22 years working for our a defense company that recently changed their hundred year rule defining equality to equity and thus telling me I'm now an oppressor and am a racist. They're evil board members all end up working at the Pentagon which now pushes equity. They're primary concern is to globalize by conformance to ESG and the Great Reset in order to get contracts even from China now. After they pushed VACCINATIONS I retired.

I'm sick of all the lies and sick of the corruption they use to attempt to hold world wide power. The US/UK model of using the false narrative of spreading Democracy when we don't have one at home makes me sick.

Thanks again for your writings.

Another great summation of our current situation. I'm amazed our politicians and media types don't self-combust out of some sheer built-in anti-hypocritical overload.

What I've run up against in conversations is this idea that people and nations have always fought and struggled for power, conquest, and control. And while the US has its problems, it beats the authoritarianism of both Russia and China, so we should back America's bid to remain at the top of the heap. This view just so happens to align with elite's power aspirations.

I don't share this Calvinist/Darwinian view of the world, but seeing past that is going to be a tough sell for those who do, and how many of them are out there?

“Mass-scale psychological manipulation is a science that's still advancing. The government agencies who use that science would have every reason to test out mass psyops for no other reason than to learn and gather data to advance the science. It's not like you can test it in a lab.

I mean, we know for a fact that they've already done this. We just don't know how far it goes.”

Yes.

Greetings from Montreal, Canada by the way. Boy did we see some Psy Ops in the last weeks! But we also saw how they largely failed. Now the cat is out of the bag.

In terms of the latest Psy Ops, I did write several pieces recently which present a deep dive into the use of “Behavioural Nudging” and “Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP).” Most of the covid narrative was largely “framed” using these kinds of advanced nudging and NLP techniques, including hypnosis. The techniques are all geared towards triggering what behavioural scientists and social psychologists call “automatic motivations” ie the unconscious mind.

The piece is called “Breaking the Spell: MindSpace, Trance Warfare, and Neuro Linguistic Programming”

https://canadianpatriot.org/2022/01/05/breaking-the-spell-mindspace-trance-warfare-and-neuro-linguistic/

Interestingly, right after completing the article above and getting it published, something even more overt was brought to my attention by a keen observer. President Biden's recent January 6th speech made direct use of hypnotic techniques, including the use of ''anchors,'' ''reframing,'' and trance-formation. The statement said:

"The Bible tells us that we shall know the truth and the truth shall make us free. We shall know the truth. Well, here is the truth about January 6, 2021. Close your eyes. Go back to that day. What do you see?

Rioters rampaging, waving for the first time inside this Capitol, the confederate flag that symbolized the cause to destroy America, to rip us apart. Even during the Civil War, that never, ever happened. But it happened here in 2021."

The speech tells people to close their eyes and then ''imagine.'' That's how NLP trances and visualizations start. Once the person closes their eyes and ''imagines,'' they are made to describe a past memory, how it feels, the sights, the sounds. By doing that, it allows for an altered state to emerge, where you can actually feel those feelings in your body. The incantation was also preceded by the words ''the Bible'' and ''Truth.'' ''Truth'' was repeated three times in quick succession. A series of vague but violent images ensued.

Part of the hypnotic technique is the use of ''artfully vague'' language (explained in the piece above) and images where a series of sentences are stacked with ambiguities. That helps to allow the patient, or target, to feel that the conclusions they arrive at are their own, solidifying them into the ''deep structures'' of the psyche.

The article explains exactly how and why so many people not only became ''spellbound'' by the initial pandemic public messaging incantations, but also why and how they continued to have their ''automatic motivations'' steered in real-time, with the help of various ''anchors,'' ''cues,'' ''priming'' etc.

For example, while pretty much every expert was forced to admit masks aren’t effective at stopping the spread of the virus (in the same way a fence isn’t effective at stopping mosquitos from flying through it) the reality is that from the standpoint of behavioural nudging and NLP, masks function as very powerful “cues.” That’s why authorities were so emphatic about the masks, even when the “science” wasn’t there. Just imagine if people everywhere weren’t wearing masks and everyone was just walking around normally. The magic of the narrative would fade almost instantly. So the masks were very effective and important, but for Behavioral science reasons.

However, there is much more systematic and sophisticated use of this stuff across the board, going far beyond just the covid-19 narrative.

And it's actually a stretch to say that Russia breached international law

Here’s the story Biden would like to tell about all this during his 2024 presidential campaign:

“Corn Pop Putin was a bad dude. And he ran a bunch of bad boys. I was the life guard at the Imperial pool, and I told him to get off the diving board or I’d come up there and drag him off. Well, he said to me ‘I’ll meet you in Ukraine.’ So I asked Tony Blinken what to do and Tony gave me this six-foot chain and some economic sanctions and some Stinger missiles and he told me to tell Corn Pop Putin ‘You may cut me man, but I’ll wrap this chain around your head.’ So I took that six-foot chain and economic sanctions and Stinger missiles and I went to Ukraine to meet him, and old Corn Pop Putin was waiting for me with with a straight razor, 180,000 men, a couple thousand tanks, and 10,000 nuclear bombs….” But I didn’t back down. I grabbed some short-range nuclear missiles and I put them in his neighborhood and I put a big Imperial military base next to his house. And old Corn Pop Putin just folded up that rusty razor and he apologized and went back home.”

That's it.

The most important thing to keep in mind currently is that Russia has just started its push towards a new global security order. Just started. It won't be stopping until it's satisfied. The conditions are out there in the open, published last December.

So the West will have to back down or it's Big War. I think it's the latter. Too much historical proof supporting it.

I see our gas prices are going to go way up as a consequence of our administration's arbitrary application of some cherry-picked "national principles." And here I thought America's never-ending sanction regime was there to put the pinch on the bad guys. Anyone who mules at this is a Russian sympathizer and a friend of tyrants everywhere. For those who loudly complained about Trump being a national disgrace -- which he often was -- they should check out Kamala Harris schooling our European allies on European history. Cringe warning! I guess we can go ahead and add racist and misogynist to my other charges.
