Reverse Engineering Propaganda

In case you weren’t paranoid enough…

In this interview, Michelle Stiles reviews some of the basic tools of propaganda, which is the topic of her book, “One Idea to Rule Them All: Reverse Engineering American Propaganda.” It’s a pertinent and apt topic in light of what’s been going on over the last few years, as we attempt to understand how we’ve been manipulated and brainwashed.

We fight against a truly unprecedented disinformation campaign, where the liars are claiming that everyone else is giving out misinformation, basically turning truth on its head.

While propaganda takes many forms, mainstream media play a crucial role. The good news is that people are starting to catch on, and trust in mainstream media has dropped to an all-time low.

By the early 1900s — literally a century ago — journalists like Upton Sinclair and George Seldes were discussing the corruption of the media, how they were owned by big business with a profit agenda, and how they were not dealing squarely with investigative reporters.

For propaganda to be effective, there needs to be central coordination of narratives, and that’s where public relations agencies come in. Few appreciate the power that these companies have. Two-thirds to 80% of the content broadcast and published by corporate media comes from public relations firms, so most of the so-called “news” is actually brainwashing propaganda.

Other common PR tools include “public protests,” which are actually made up of people hired by the PR company, and media will of course be sent there to cover it, and front groups, which are paid by industry to promote a particular view that benefits that industry.

The Greatest Lie Told During Covid

Former advisor to the US President and a Senior Fellow in health policy at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, Dr. Scott W. Atlas, has just been published in Newsweek. His brief opinion piece “America’ COVID Response Was Based on Lies¹ is worth a read…

Here are the 10 biggest falsehoods—known for years to be false, not recently learned or proven to be so—promoted by America’s public health leaders, elected and unelected officials, and now-discredited academics:
Scott W. Atlas

But what if there is perhaps one more lie?

what if embedded in all of this is perhaps one more lie?

the greatest lie.

the one lie to rule them all.

this is the one that will come back to haunt us over and over if we do not call it out by name and lay plain its resounding lack of basis in fact.

it’s the lie they have been trying to sell of for decades and failing (or at least having only moderate success and thus wreaking only moderate havoc).

it’s the one lie to rule them all. the one lie to rule us all. the truly big lie constituting a forest that has been lost for the trees and perversely therefore winds up being reinforced by the very debate about the little lies.

and that lie is this:

pandemics are dangerous to modern societies...

The Distraction Files and Leaks

Recently The Twitter Files revealed US officials were pressing Twitter to censor on their behalf. Then the US Dept. of Energy endorsed the lab leak story, followed by Woody Harrelson being allowed describe¹ the insanity on the Saturday Night Live TV show.²

Now The Lockdown Files leak shows UK officials orchestrating public fear and more. Dr. John Campbell feels disappointed about the revelations. while Dr. Byram Bridle cautions that verification is needed and el gato malo finds them astonishingly unastonishing…

… all neatly distracting from…

Why Anger towards the Unvaccinated was Intentional Psychological Manipulation

March 2022, Naked Emperor took a look at a Yale study of ways to increase vaccine uptake.

The study began in July 2020 to explore “how persuasive messaging affects COVID-19 vaccine uptake intentions”. It wasn’t published until October 2021… after most people had been injected.

Quite revealing. Worth reading. But if you are short on time here’s a few takeawats:

Never Again Is Now Global

‘Never Again Is Now Global,’ a five-part docuseries directed by holocaust survivor Vera Sharav highlights the parallels between Nazi Germany and global pandemic policies, will premier exclusively, for free on CHD.TV beginning Monday, Jan. 30, at 7 p.m. EST.¹

Holocaust Survivors, featured in the docuseries explain how Nazi interventions — including the suspension of freedoms, imposition of lockdowns, coerced medical procedures and identity passports — are similar to modern-day dictatorial constraints on citizens worldwide.

We sat down with Vera at her home… to discuss the docuseries + the importance of disobeying the totalitarian continuum…

Ten Topics You’ll Rarely Hear Discussed Openly and Rationally on Mainstream Media

Sometimes the silencing of dissenting viewpoints is achieved through overt censorship – as we saw when Facebook suppressed arguments that entertained the Wuhan lab leak hypothesis, or when Twitter censored pretty much any assertion that could be construed as even slightly disfavourable to Covid vaccines. But more often than not, it is achieved by refusing to give any airtime to arguments from “the other side.” In many ways, this is more sinister than overt censorship, because it is subtle and may easily go completely unnoticed.

I have had personal experience of this “from the inside,” so to speak. I used to write ocassionally for a prominent national newspaper in Ireland, as well as a regional newspaper in Spain. Soon after I began to seriously question Covid measures or the science behind lockdowns, my contributions at both newspapers ceased to be published, quite abruptly. There was simply no editorial interest in questioning the fundamentals of the national response to the virus.

The average newspaper reader or TV viewer knows nothing of this filtering process. They just pick up the newspaper or switch on the TV and assume that there are “serious” people and experts who will be given a platform to express themselves. They will naturally assume that if no credible voice defends this or that position, it must be because the position is weak or indefensible. It will not occur to the average reader or viewer that the reason there are no “credible voices” on the other side is because they have been filtered out in advance…

Age-stratified infection fatality rate (IFR) of COVID-19 in the non-elderly population

The largest burden of COVID-19 is carried by the elderly, and persons living in nursing homes are particularly vulnerable. However, 94% of the global population is younger than 70 years and 86% is younger than 60 years. The objective of this study was to accurately estimate the infection fatality rate (IFR) of COVID-19 among non-elderly people in the absence of vaccination or prior infection… we identified 40 eligible national seroprevalence studies covering 38 countries with pre-vaccination seroprevalence data…

Key numbers

Age	IFR	Survival Rate
0-19	0.0003%	99.9997%
20-29	0.002%	99.998%
30-39	0.011%	99.989%
40-49	0.035%	99.965%
50-59	0.123%	99.877%
60-69	0.506%	99.494%

The median IFR for kids is just 0.0003% so…

If your kid gets COVID, the risk is 3 in 1 million that your child will die from COVID. And that is likely an over-estimate because today all early treatment protocols are suppressed worldwide.

Philanthropath Bill Gates Has Just Planned His Next Pandemic – “Catastrophic Contagion”

And he’s definitely after your kids this time.

In a tacit admission that COVID did not quite achieve his absolute goals, Bill Gates has just announced his next plandemic.
Joel Smalley

Smalley linked to the original site. I’d prefer not give them clicks. So if you’re ready to read the next phase of the menticide,¹ here’s an archive version.

Mike Yeadon explains it’s impossible.

Especially the bit about the children.

They’re at it again. Planning a FAKE pandemic. Enabled by untrustworthy PCR.

A few remarks:

1. It’s FAKE. It’s immunologically impossible to have a pandemic of a severe respiratory illness. If you accept the disease model they’re using, then the more severe the illness, the more quickly the infected person, if they’re susceptible, becomes symptomatic. It’s only then that the person might transmit to other susceptible person, but by then, they’re sick & at home. Not mixing with others. Chain terminated. Drops R nought.²

By contrast, common cold type illnesses can whizz around the world & nobody cares.

Which in part explains why we’ve never had a pandemic of a severe respiratory illness.

Covid was faked at worst (my opinion, supported by the deaths epidemiology) & at very least exaggerated.

The 1918-19 “Spanish Flu” was also grossly exaggerated. The numbers who perished were far fewer than are now claimed. Contemporaneous documents just a few years later don’t even mention it. Not consistent with “the worst pandemic since medieval times”.

2. I know of no conceivable respiratory pathogen that preferentially makes “young people” ill, not the frail elderly. Sure, there are some illnesses that are particularly cruel on tiny babies and frail tots. Young adults are like cockroaches where it comes to respiratory illnesses. I don’t believe the frail elderly could be spared & there are ALWAYS way more frail in the elderly population than in the young & fit (immunocompetent) population.

The the entire scenario is FAKE.

“R” is the statistical ‘rate of spread’.. R=1 means 1 person infects 1 person who infects 1 person etc. If R=2 then 1 person infects 2 who infect 2 more etc. R=0 means no spread.

Are You a Victim of Menticide?

If you are a victim… you don’t know it. That’s the first sign…

“Free men in a free society must learn not only to recognize this stealthy attack on mental integrity and fight it, but must learn also what there is inside man’s mind that makes him vulnerable to this attack, what it is that makes him, in many cases, actually long for a way out of the responsibilities that republican democracy and maturity place on him.”

“There are human beings who are of remarkably agile intellect yet stupid, and others who are intellectually quite dull yet anything but stupid.…

“The impression one gains is not so much that stupidity is a congenital defect, but that, under certain circumstances, people are made stupid or that they allow this to happen to them.…

Only you can liberate yourself from willful stupidity. Continuing to read this article and being willing to implement these twelve steps proves you have the intelligence to do so.

All you have to lose are your manufactured delusions; misplaced pride; gullibility; fear; terror; anxiety; rage; and mental and physical enslavement…

Forgetful Fauci’s Deposition

All Those Lies Are Hard to Keep Straight

… [December 2021]… AIER discovered a shocking revelation in emails received from a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to Fauci’s office. In early October of 2020, Dr. Francis Collins, then Director of the National Institutes of Health, ordered Fauci and his trusted lieutenant Clifford Lane to wage “a quick and devastating published take down (sic)” of the Great Barrington Declaration’s premises.

… the records… contain a partially redacted email to Deborah Birx in which Fauci speculates that Scott Atlas, his anti-lockdown foil on the White House COVID Task Force, would attempt to sway the White House into endorsing the GBD. “Over the past week I have come out very strongly publicly against the “Great Barrington Declaration,” Fauci declared – an action that he conveniently has no memory of doing, according to his statements under oath from the Missouri lawsuit deposition¹…

… the email records we do possess contain ample evidence of Fauci’s involvement in the “take down” order, plainly contradicting his sworn deposition. In those emails we see Collins colluding with Anthony Fauci (while fantastically CCing Lawrence Tabak, Deputy Ethics Counselor at NIH) to craft talking points against the GBD in the media. Behind the scenes, we see them working with Deborah Birx to keep the GBD off of the White House COVID Task Force agenda. And we see Fauci’s instructions to Folkers to assemble a list of media op-eds attacking the GBD, with the apparent intent of parroting them back to the very same press as official talking points from the NIH.

Think about that for a minute. The Director of the National Institutes of Health all but ordered the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases to put together a smear campaign aimed at three distinguished scientists, each from an elite institution (Harvard, Stanford, and Oxford if you are keeping track at home), who were simply going where the science took them.

The Death Of Journalism

Journalism is therapy

It’s not so much about Truth any more.

John Ziegler, host of With the Benefit of Hindsight… Podcast, recently talked with Tom Woods about the state of journalism – and his new podcast series The Death Of Journalism with fellow truth crusader and former sports TV anchor, Liz Habib.

He mentions two episodes. Here they are.

Interesting to recall the timeline and cascade of events. Including a mention of golfer Rory McIlroy.

You have been propagandized.

A letter for your friends.¹

You have been propagandized.

You have been lied to. I know. It’s hard to believe, but just stay with me.

I think you’re still reading because you know it’s true.

And maybe, you want to understand how, or more importantly, why?

What happened to us? Humans? What happened to your country, your city, your school, your work, your life?

What happened to your relationships?

By Kate Wand.

If you were being propagandized would you know?

“Of course I would because…

propaganda is only done by the other side
my side are more ethical so they wouldn’t do it but even if they did
propaganda is always done like Hitler and Stalin did it, so I’d spot it.”

So you didn’t fall for the COVID, Ukraine, climate change and other narratives, then?

… we might consider that a shocking amount of what “we know” to be true is, in fact, only the consequence of clever messaging, effective persuasion strategies, truth-suppression, misinformation, twisted presentation of truth, and various other tactics used to create a faux “reality” that is in service of an agenda.
