SECRETS OF OPINION-MANAGEMENT #1
If you have a fake oppositional narrative you can use the good cop/bad cop psychological technique to sell an agenda by a devious route.
Suppose you want to sell a specific agenda but you know no one will like it.
1️⃣ You create a plausible Good Cop/Bad Cop binary in the public mind.
2️⃣ You get Bad Cop to aggressively promote Agenda A.
3️⃣ You get Good Cop to oppose Agenda A and promote Agenda B.
4️⃣ People naturally resist Agenda A because Bad Cop is promoting it
5️⃣ People think Agenda B is much better because Good Cop is promoting it.
4️⃣ Bad Cop then reluctantly bows to "public pressure" and agrees to Agenda B
What no one realizes until too late is that Agenda B is what you really wanted people to buy all along. 🤫
And that's how you get people to demand their own enslavement

In this time of mindblowing levels of manipulation the most important thing we can do is be aware that propaganda isn't just the blaring of a single POV from our TV screens.
It's subtler, more devious, more nuanced than that. In fact the real propaganda will often be the message you don't even realise you are being fed...

The UK’s National Health Service (NHS) has recently edited their Monkeypox page to alter the narrative to make monkey pox sound scarier.
Up until a few days ago, according to archived links, the Monkeypox page said this, regarding person-to-person tranmission [emphasis added]:
"It’s very uncommon to get monkeypox from a person with the infection because it does not spread easily between people..."
…THIS HAS NOW BEEN TOTALLY REMOVED
Secondly, they’ve removed this paragraph, which was present up until at least November of 2021 (and maybe much more recently, there are no archives between November and May) [emphasis added]:
"[Monkeypox] is usually a mild illness that will get better on its own without treatment. Some people can develop more serious symptoms, so patients with monkeypox in the UK are cared for in specialist hospitals..."
The new “treatment” paragraph reads [again, emphasis added]…
"Treatment for monkeypox aims to relieve symptoms. The illness is usually mild and most people recover in 2 to 4 weeks […] You may need to stay in a specialist hospital, so your symptoms can be treated and to prevent the infection spreading to other people..."
So, they're already blatantly changing the story. Why are they doing that?...

Actually the dollar is SUICIDING. The old empire is being dismantled to make way for the economic shift eastward predicted by WEF.
Any analysis of the "special operation" in Ukraine really needs to take this huge factor into account...👇👇👇👇👇

Davos reveals building blocks for “green” social credit system
Kit Knightly
This morning, on one of the WEF’s live-streamed panels, Alibaba Holdings President J. Michael Evans claimed that the company is working on an app that could track an individual users carbon footprint.
The former-Goldman Sachs vice-chairman told the audience of the “Strategic Outlook: Responsible Consumption” panel:
https://off-guardian.org/wp-content/medialibrary/davos-offg-clip-1.mp4
"..We’re developing, through technology, an ability for consumers to measure their own carbon footprint. What does that mean? That’s where are they travelling, how are they travelling, what are they eating, what are they consuming on our platform. So: An individual carbon footprint tracker.”
Now, to clarify, Evans was only talking about Alibaba’s platform…but that’s a big platform.
The Chinese company is the second-largest e-commerce company in the world after Amazon, with revenues in excess of 715 billion Yuan in 2021...

What we don't know is killing us: The urgency of propaganda study under COVID
For those of us who study propaganda critically, and seek to do this all-important work as public intellectuals, these last two years have been uniquely challenging, and even dangerous, forcing us into a painful double bind. On the one hand, we have never…

Can we have a reality check
1️⃣ Pointing out the FACT that Russia is actively promoting many of the globalist agendas sponsored by the UN, WHO & WEF is NOT suggesting "Russia are the bad guys & the West are heroes".
2️⃣ Nor is it forgetting the dangerous & racist lunacy that drove the West's policies toward Russia for the last decades.
3️⃣ Nor is it minimising the reality of the genocidal 8-year Donbas war.
It's just pointing out highly relevant FACTS about our evolving situation which we ignore at our peril.
We need to get away from simplistic binaries & toward a better more nuanced & factual grasp of what is actually going on in this New Normal world.
If we don't we are likely to be grifted into signing away our remaining freedom before we even see what the game is.

Russia will adopt CBDCs, citing the need to shield itself from western sanctions. Whatever.
The West will adopt CBDCs, citing the need to crack down on domestic terrorism financing, or Patreon payments to people with unapproved ideas, or whatever. It doesn’t matter.
It won’t matter what the justifications will be. The pretexts will be different, but the system will be exactly the same. And the system is going to suck for everyone. https://edwardslavsquat.substack.com/p/russia-fast-tracks-cbdc-digital-ruble?s=w

This is exactly correct. Please internalise...
"The New Normal was never about Covid specifically. It was always about implementing a new “reality” — a pathologized-totalitarian “reality,” not so much ruled as discreetly “guided” by unaccountable, supranational, non-governmental governing entities, global corporations, and assorted billionaires
— in which Covid, or monkeypox, or kangaroopox, or any other viral zoonotic disease, or any climate-related or economic development, or aberrant ideological or behavioral tendency, could be used as a pretext to foment another outbreak of mindless mass hysteria and impose additional restrictions on society..."

Am I the only one who sees this café table in NYC as an emblem of mental surrender?
One propaganda image superimposed on another. Both fine tuned to provoke predictable reactions depending on which narrative you have internalised. Both decontextualised by human beings ~5,000 miles away from the "special operation".
Did the people who painted the table know why they did it? Did whoever carved the 'Z' have any idea what it means?
It might as well be the Jets and the Giants.
Meanwhile food factories burn, farms close, rationing looms.
Agenda 2030 rolls on toward us.

How to get people to DEMAND a bad thing they don't want & which will make them worse off.
1️⃣❗️Announce you are about to do a BAD THING no one wants.
2️⃣❗️Get a BAD MAN no one likes to say he won't let you do the BAD THING no one wants.
3️⃣❗️Sit back and watch people conclude that if a BAD MAN won't let you do the BAD THING it must actually be a good thing & start petitions demanding the BAD THING is done immediately
4️⃣❗️Get the BAD MAN to "bow to public pressure" and do the BAD THING you always wanted to do.
5️⃣❗️Go on TV and social media and talk about how this was "democracy in action"
6️⃣❗️Smile smugly to yourself as people realise too late that the BAD THING is actually still bad & making their lives worse.
7️⃣❗️Call anyone pointing this out a "far right" conspiracy theorist.

REVIEW: Science Set Free
Ryan Matters
In Science Set Free, Rupert Sheldrake sets out to probe the shaky foundations of materialist science and question long-held beliefs that have, over time, hardened into dogmas.
Rupert Sheldrake is a biologist and author of numerous technical papers. He was a fellow of Clare College, Cambridge University, where he was director of studies in cell biology, and was also a research fellow of the Royal Society.
In Science Set Free, Sheldrake unpacks the enormity of our conditioning and the flawed assumptions upon which most of modern science rests.
Through an exciting exploration of modern research, Sheldrake points out the holes in the materialist belief system, and reveals how science has been guided by dangerous dogmas that have grave consequences for the future of humanity.
Such dogmas include the notion that free will is an illusion, consciousness is merely a by-product of chemical reactions in the brain, and nature is purposeless...
