Blind as a Corona Bat

Todd Hayen PhD

This article is not really about Corona, nor is it really about bats. Blind Corona bats make a catchy title. The subjects of the article, however, are indeed related to Corona (what isn’t these days?) as well as to bats, blind ones. The most perplexing part for me about this Covid puzzle, and all that is now following it, has been the blindness I have experienced in people on “that side” of the fence. (I won’t call them sheep, I got in trouble for that once.)

I am most troubled by this phenomenon experienced in close friends and family. Now that Covid has passed the torch onto the Russia/Ukraine conflict it seems we are seeing Act Two of a very frustrating global, and personal play.

Of course we all know both of these events are scenes in one big theatrical event, one that has been going on for quite a while but mostly in out of town tryouts—Covid was the first act of the play finally opening on the Big Broad Way.

The tryouts are over. The Great Reset, now the hottest show in town, opens in the big time.

“Yea!” I shouted, “now everyone will see it; it will no longer be obscured and only noticed by us so called conspiracy theorists who have been jumping up and down for decades yelling ‘false flag!’ every time anything unusual happened in the world. Now we will all have eyes to see and ears to hear!”

Fat chance of that.

It didn’t happen with Covid, and it isn’t happening with Russia/Ukraine. The blind will continue to be blind.

Only now one thing is indeed obvious, it is now very clear who the blind are, and who can see. Just as such large numbers of people were blind as Corona bats during the heights of the Covid hysteria, the same people are blind as bats regarding just about everything else going on in the world. Not just Corona. And if I can rely on my recollection, they have always been blind.

I was one of them for quite some time.

It is clear they don’t see the threat to our freedom and the democracy we have fought so hard and diligently to save over the years.

They don’t see the assault on humanity itself with the degradation of human social interplay due to masks, social distancing, the rules against gathering with loved ones in church, social events, funerals, weddings, concerts, plays, among many other restrictions.

They don’t see the damage being done to our children through social regulations and the wearing of masks that cover facial expression and communication and derail social development.

And they certainly don’t see the unconscionable power that the government has forced over us with mandated vaccines—a substance that clearly could have devastating health effects on any who have taken it—and devastating social and personal effects on those who have not.

What is the bigger picture here? What will be the result of this blindness?

One of the prime blind spots the bats have regarding the new world that is being created right before our very eyes (no pun intended) is not at all something to look forward to. These people seem to think the world will be a wonderfully calm place with all amenities required, and many desired, handed to them on a silver platter with only a rental fee attached.

I am reminded of the cult classic Logan’s Run where everyone had a job (or did they even need a job), everyone was happy, had sex all of the time and took whatever pill was required to escape any sort of thinking that may have stubbornly crept in (or was that “Brave New World”?). Only the people living in this bliss were not allowed to live past 30 (in the movie version, in the book it was only 21!).

You can sum up what is “wrong” with what’s ahead rather simply: a hugely efficient world whose efficiency is achieved by a global control that manipulates individuals to do what is necessary in order to keep the world efficient.

What makes a world efficient?

Controlling the climate, the economy, consumption of all goods and services (including entertainment), controlling travel, carbon footprints, jobs, drugs, food, health care, births, personal identity, and a million other things easy to imagine. How will the upper echelon, which will be given the task to oversee this control, accomplish it? Need I say? I think most people reading this can easily fill in those blanks.

Give the kid two marshmallows now with the promise of five down the road, only the kid doesn’t take the five down the road option, he or she takes the two now. Instant gratification.

It doesn’t take much to dangle high-tech-convenience-laden carrots in front of our “now, now, now” culture. Digital ID? No problem if marketed with the promise of ease and convenience—same goes for digital currency, microchips in the hand, eventually drilled into the head, Alexa in the house, in the bedroom, bugs to eat (real meat is destroying the climate, right?)

Rent your music and media instead of buying it, you get a lot more up front. What could go wrong?

Anyone remember when Amazon wiped all Kindle readers free of Orwell’s books “1984” and “Animal Farm” remotely (blessed technology allowed them to) because of their controversial message?

Freedom is controversial you know. At least it is now beginning to be seen as such. If those books were on your shelves no one could take them.

Remember “Fahrenheit 451”? Remember “Brave New World”? Does anyone read anymore? Does anyone care? There doesn’t seem to be many who do. “I don’t really care if Facebook tracks me, they send interesting posts and ads my way,” they will care when it isn’t Facebook doing the tracking.

Or will they? They are blind. Why?

Occam’s Razor would say it was something in the vaccine, or 5G, or whatever sort of mind controlling device or substance “they” have operating these days.

I say Occam’s Razor only because it seems to be the simplest explanation. The more plausible ones (“more plausible” depending only on how far down the rabbit hole you are) includes a phrase being bandied around these days: “Mass Formation Psychosis.”

Being a psychologist myself I certainly can see this as an intriguing possibility. Before many people saw all this Covid insanity as a problem, I suggested “cult psychology” was the culprit in effectively bending the minds of so many in order they believe things that were so clearly not true.

However; I’ve had a problem with both ideas: how do they do this? The criteria for either of these mental conditions is rather difficult to manifest on a global scale—although Hitler and his National Socialists’ regime was rather successful in accomplishing something similar in 1930s Germany. So what is it? The vaccine? 5G?

Like I previously said, I am so perplexed by this strange blindness, I would not be surprised.

Early on I thought that this blindness and ignorance were synonymous. Obviously, that isn’t the case. You could force-feed information into someone who was blind and they will either block it in any way possible (plugging the ears and singing “lalalalala” for one example), or change the subject (violently holding up the hand and say “I’m not talking about this”) or simply attack everything you’ve said with nonsense counter arguments like “if what you are saying were true, it would be on the cover of the New York Times.”

People can and do “take in” the information (on occasion) but their brains do nothing with it.

And what of this arrogance that seems to go hand in hand with the blindness? Can’t these people just be blind and sit in a corner? No, they are arrogant as well, sitting atop their white steed of supreme morality calling you—a fighter for freedom, a staunch defender of free speech and body autonomy as well as a crusader against corruption, corporate greed and evil—calling you selfish, a denier of science, deplorable, a criminal. What’s with that?

I also used to think it had something to do with intelligence. That too proves not to be true. I have, however, found a few common denominators.

One is that most people who are not blind believe in some sort of spiritual paradigm. These paradigms do differ, but there are some common elements (for one, not obsessed with becoming a robot rather than staying a human).

I have also found that people who are not blind believe in things that are astonishingly similar. For example, when Russia invaded Ukraine, I was surprised to see that most of the friends I had made during the Covid run were saying the same things about Russia and Ukraine that I was saying.

They were questioning, looking beyond the propaganda, and understanding that there was more to such a catastrophic event than “four legs good (Ukraine), two legs bad (Russia)” to borrow a George Orwell quote—simple “sheep thinking” from “Animal Farm.”

Truth is universal, and finding the truth requires a universal set of criteria—two of which are having eyes to see, and ears to hear.

in the land of the blind.. the one eyed man is king..

it’s not really a question of why ‘they’ behave this way.. because the common imbecile always has behaved this way…nothing has changed for them.. they still blindly follow the diktats of a criminal regime (the ‘system’) … and of course it is always to their detriment (and everything elses) this need for faux ‘authoritative guidance’.. which is why the majority(?) line up for euthanasia when the BBc tells them to.. (and sadly line up their children also after allowing their elderly parents to be murdered by the ‘state’)…

there really is no future for these people and conehead klaus agrees which is why he doesn’t tell them that most of them will be dead.. very soon..

it is the awakened that are of interest..far more so.. because it will be these people that hold the key to a better future…

Q&NoA on Dr.Fauci’s Frankenstein Virus Labs:

China is not losing any opportunity to bring this front and center. This is their last list of questions:

  • If the concerns are “disinformation”, why doesn’t the U.S. release detailed materials to prove its innocence? – Question by Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian on U.S.-funded biolabs in Ukraine.
  • What did the U.S. spend the $200 million on? – Question by Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian on U.S.-funded biolabs in Ukraine.
  • What kind of research has the U.S. conducted on which pathogens? – Question by Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian on U.S.-funded biolabs in Ukraine.
  • What is it trying to hide when the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine deleted all relevant documents on its website? – Question by Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian on U.S.-funded biolabs in Ukraine.
  • Why does the U.S. insist on being the only country in the world to oppose the establishment of a multilateral verification mechanism though it claims to abide by the Biological Weapons Convention? – Question by Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian on U.S.-funded biolabs in Ukraine.

The web page lists 26 countries. This year, China Foreign Ministry stated that there are 336 imperial biolabs abroad in 30 countries.

In defiance of their obligation under Biological Weapons Convention, 133 biolabs within the Empire refused to explain their activity when asked by UN OPCW. -opednews.com 2007

Some of the biolabs may be “high-security” ones rated BSL-3 and BSL-4. From past outbreaks of diseases usually blamed on politically less powerful countries, we know how good that security paid for by tax-payers is.

Bats

Are bats blind ? I doubt it though large numbers of the local flying foxes/fruit bats were electrocuted by power lines. The bats disappeared abruptly a few months ago after gracing our area for the 20 years I have lived in it. I wouldn’t be surprised if individuals taken in by the batty corona hoaxes took things into their own hands and did something to destroy them.

Beings that rely on complex internal radar-like systems for navigation are suffering far more than those relying on simple locomotion – suffering because of the incessant spraying of toxic elements like aluminum into the atmosphere.

The birds and the bees and the bats as well as most insects and virtually any flying creature are already losing their ability to navigate – and that’s even before 5G goes global.

Humanity’s drive to self-extinction has taken a passive-aggressive approach: first we destroy all other living beings then we will have no choice but to lay down as a species and die.

OffGuardian editing is consistently sloppy, and it’s infuriating because all it would take would be one good editor or reader to check the material before it’s published. A present case in point, which is only one of those occurring with annoying frequency: “One of the prime blind spots the bats have regarding the new world that is being created right before our very eyes (no pun intended) is not at all something to look forward to.” What editor or proofreader could have read that and failed to notice its senselessness? Presumably none. It’s the same thing almost every day, mostly just irritating little typos that have no excuse being there. Please get a competent editor or proofreader and put an end to this incessant stream of careless oversight. Thank you.

As I got older, I realised I had adeptness at reading prople, mostly through realising others couldn’t read me. I’ve encountered many Covidians & now some Ukrainian War-mongers, here’s the thing: They honestly & sincerely BELIEVE in every single detail broadcast into their brains & they never, ever question the tiniest detail of the Narrative.
I’d describe it as a Blanket of Belief, fully-integrated & internalised but wrapped around them, except when held out to block them off from “your stupid ideas”. I’m pretty sure I detected this before in certain individuals, over the years but it is far, far more prevalent, today.
Actually, it’s thicker than a blanket, it’s more like foam rubber, when you poke it with your finger, it gives, only to sprung back when you withdraw but you never, ever penetrate it.
I just walk away when I see it.

Mask Formation Psychosis

Nothing suggests mass formation psychosis like a legion of lurching mask zombies.

If a narrative is distributed through the mass media, indicating the object of anxiety – the invisible coronavirus, and providing a strategy for dealing with it – mask-wearing, then the mass is overly willing to direct its psychological energy towards complying with the strategy. A new form of social bond is forged.

Masks have been used throughout history in ritual to ward away evil spirits. Sometimes the masks are worn to transform the identity to that of the being represented by the mask.
Other times the masks themselves represent the diseases that cause the sickness.

People were tricked and coerced on mass to wear masks that they were led to believe would ward away an evil spirit. In fact, they were having their identity assimilated into a mask-formation psychosis in an imposed ritual of compliance intended to wear away at empathy and autonomy.

Those refusing to lose their identity and wear the mask of compliance, representing the “old-normal” were treated with intense hostility.

And then came the gene-editing drugs, themselves guised as vaccines and presented as the golden tickets to life and freedom.

In a remotely sane world, it takes 5-10 years to develop a vaccine. To roll out this experiment on care home residents, the elderly and vulnerable at warp speed was pure madness. They swapped the sacrificial test animals for the elderly.

Within a week or more of the rollout, mysterious waves of deaths ostensibly attributed to Covid washed over the vaccinated world.

Despite this, the subtle and not so subtle coercion to take these vaccines was incessant and incremental, moving down the age groups until they arrived at children.

The hypnotized masses offering up their children along with the mass denial, as more and more of the vulnerable succumb to myocarditis and other life-threatening conditions linked to the experimental vaccines with ever increasing certainty, is the epitome of mass formation psychosis.

For about 500 years women were subjected to witchunts in Europe. This resulted in the imposition of many strong restrictions and injustices upon the surviving women by the patriarchy. A woman who spoke the truth was forced to wear a mask, known as a “scold’s bridle”.

I agree. Why not call it what it is – war propaganda and brainwashing. If one understands propaganda then one also realizes that “mass formation psychosis” is way to academic to affect the masses. It almost looks purposefully designed to be boring and to deflect the point. Call it WAR PROPAGANDA! Scream it from the hills.

And now a little song from Frank Zappa:
I’m The Slime.

I am gross and perverted
I’m obsessed ‘n deranged
I have existed for years
But very little has changed
I’m the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you

I may be vile and pernicious
But you can’t look away
I make you think I’m delicious
With the stuff that I say
I’m the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I’m the slime oozin’ out
From your TV set

You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don’t need you
Don’t go for help… no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold

That’s right, folks…
Don’t touch that dial

Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozin’ along on your livin’ room floor

I am the slime from your video
Can’t stop the slime, people, lookit me go

I am the slime from your video

A while back: i’m at an aquatic centre in my city, heading for the pool. “Excuse me, sir! Sir, excuse me!” says a lifeguard rushing toward me. “Do you have a face mask?” I squint and look around. Nearly all the swimmers walking about on the deck are unmasked, which I point out.

“Oh, they’ve probably hung them somewhere. You need to have a face mask when you come out onto the deck….but not when you’re swimming,” he helpfully adds.
Extended pause while I process this new development. “I can get you a face mask,” he says brightly. (So I can go hang it somewhere and walk around on the deck like nearly everyone else?) I tell him this the first time I’ve heard this. “I’m going for my swim now but I’ll abide the next time I’m at the pool,” I say and march off.

I suppose I should be relieved swimmers are not required to wear a face mask when actually in the pool. At least not yet. (For the God of Biosecurity Theatre is a jealous god who demands nonstop rituals from his flock)

And of course, nearly everyone in the hot tub were without face masks as well. I suppose that’s because Sars-COV-2, an admittedly bad but manageable virus, is not so cruel as to target a large group of people relaxing in a hot tub. Just as it will never target unmasked people eating at a restaurant table. (“Oh, there’s one over there with a mask off! Ah no, I can’t infect him now, he’s enjoying a club sandwich.”)

I swim some lengths and then head for the sauna, where I come across three middle-aged guys bemoaning the difficulties of flying, what with all the airline COVID tests and whatnot. The first, who I will call Larry, then announces he’s going for Pfizer when he gets his first booster shot. Brand loyalty, I suppose. The second, Curly, says he’s had the AstraZeneca and Moderna jab. “That’s good,” Moe responds. “It’s like getting different shooters at a bar, you’re covered.”

If this was intended to be funny or pithy, it wasn’t greeted with chuckles. Larry and Curly simply nod sagely at Moe’s astute liquor analogy. I feel like I’ve stepped into an anticlimactic Three Stooges routine. Shouldn’t one of them be falling onto a heating element and poking the others in the eyes in revenge?

And now…. a little song from George Harrison.

THINK FOR YOURSELF
from The Beatles, Rubber Soul, 1965

I’ve got a word or two
To say about the things that you do
You’re telling all those lies
About the good things that we can have
If we close our eyes

Do what you want to do
And go where you’re going to
Think for yourself
‘Cause I won’t be there with you

I left you far behind
The ruins of the life that you have in mind
And though you still can’t see
I know your mind’s made up
You’re gonna cause more misery

Do what you want to do
And go where you’re going to
Think for yourself
‘Cause I won’t be there with you

Although your mind’s opaque
Try thinking more if just for your own sake
The future still looks good
And you’ve got time to rectify
All the things that you should

Do what you want to do
And go where you’re going to
Think for yourself
‘Cause I won’t be there with you

I’m a devoted George Harrison fan, and this song is one of my favorite Harrison compositions; the list is still lengthening!

However, during the 1970s, after The Beatles disintegrated and George became quite vocal about his spiritual/religious interests, I became thoroughly sick of his constant claim that all of his songs were (now) “about God”. 

I didn’t exactly begrudge George his spiritual evolution, or earnestness, but came to cringe whenever he asserted this distinctly “God-bothering” sentiment.

For a while, I clung to Beatles-era songs like “Think for Yourself”; in fact, I fantasized about meeting George in person, and telling him that at least this song was decidedly not “about God”. 😉

Thanks Ort — interesting! I was a huge Beatles fan, having grown up with their music in my teens and having been inspired by the music especially as they matured and explored.

Anyway, when I looked up the lyrics, I found this, supposedly from Harrison’s autobiograpy:

“‘Think For Yourself’ must be written about somebody from the sound of it,” hazily recalled Harrison in his autobiography I, Me, Mine, “But all this time later I don’t quite recall who inspired that tune. Probably the government.”

https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/george-harrison-the-beatles-song-that-changed-pop-music/

How Harrison couldn’t recall who or what the song was written about is pretty hard to believe. I mean, those were biting words and usually, at least in my life, if I’d had a situation that strong, it’s not something I’d forget. Maybe he just didn’t want to get specific for some reason.

Regardless, very fitting words for the current situation we’re soaking in with the two camps of people, as described by Todd Hayen in the essay above. Only line that’s a bit out of place for me is: “The future still looks good” — which, in 1965, could be understandable, but not in 2022.

At night the sheep are taken across the brook to the main fold. But we soon found that the sheep kept to the enclosure and quite clear of the fence, which didn’t need to be electrified. So we substituted a piece of string, which is easier to move around.” “What about the new lambs?” Barbara asked, turning her head at a slight angle and looking at Frazier from the comers of her eyes. “They stray,” Frazier conceded, “but they cause no trouble and soon learn to keep with the flock. The curious thing is-you will be interested in this, Burris-the curious thing is that most of these sheep have never been shocked by the fence. Most of them were born after we took the wire away. It has become a tradition among our sheep never to approach string. The lambs acquire it from their elders, whose judgment they never question!’ “It’s fortunate that sheep don’t talk,” said Castle. “One of them would be sure to ask ‘Why?’ The Philosophical Lambkin.” “And some day a Skeptical Lambkin would put his nose on the string and nothing would happen and the whole sheepfold would be shaken to its very foundations,” I added. “And after him, the stampede!” said Casde. “I should have told you,” said Frazier soberly, “that no small part of the force of tradition is due to the quiet creature you see yonder.” He pointed to a beautiful sheep dog, which was watching us from a respectful distance. “We call him the Bishop.”

Never underestimate the power of string. (Oops, here comes a personal anecdote!) A cousin, who has a small pier, found over time that nothing else works as well as string to keep the birds (osprey) away. This is because the sunlight reflects on it whereas it wouldn’t reflect as well on any kind of wire.

I like the opinion presented here by Todd, but i would like to humbly suggest that if he entertains in the first place the ideas of 5G and other weird influences as factors, he might have underestimated the damages done on culture and the collective psyche by decades of post WW2 crisis, and silly way of living, and the multiple and simple aspects of the psy-war the ruling classes have been waging on people, and speaking of psychology, and that’s why i leave a comment in fact, i’d invite anyone not familiar with him to read the very underrated psychoanalyst Arno Gruen, especially “The insanity of normality” written in the 80s, and other essays available online like “the need to punish”, or “war or peace? we cannot survive with real-politik”, because you’d be amazed how his paradigm is relevant for our predicament, may be more to the point than other classic deep psychologists

Mind control is the common denominator/thread, the content varies but the operations are similar; only growing in intensity and pervasiveness. The US CIA has engaged in mind control research, development and implementation since the 1950’s. Operation Bluebird, Artichoke, MK-Ultra, MK Search are just a few of their many initiatives. The US government with cooperation with academia, the banksters and business (think Silicon Valley) are engaged in a host of ways to create Zombies and mindless automatons. The education system is also a prime culprit as it stifles critical thinking, innovation and risk taking.
The coming Great Reset will roll out even more sophisticated technology, more lethal forms of domination, even more lethal and “effective” than MK-Ultra LSD, psychotropic drugs or electro shocks. They are using fear, psychological warfare coupled with technology to accomplish their goal, to create an artificial reality where “everything the American public believes is false.”

The easy answer is that the type of person “lured” into a cult, be it scientology, HariKrishna/Reverend Moonie, Church of Latter day saints and many more, has a need for “belonging” and fitting in and this combined with the terrible education the WEST produces enables this. The education in the the US is non existant, it is simply child “care” so the parents can remain at work while the “system” teaches your children how to conform to the police state and follow the path of good tax payer sheeple!
This has been ongoing since the late 90s when psychotropic drugs started being administered in the schools to keep the kids obedient and not questioning authority.
These kids are grown with kids of their own and the policies remain.
These drugs led to self harm and school shootings which enabled police occupation/metal detectors and police state training all for fake diseases which were previously called hyper activity, now they are medicated and compliant sheeple and they are adults now, victims of the psychological war that they were manipulated into because the parents “who knew better” were to busy working to live better and complied to avoid home schooling/CPS visits!
We must understand the european nations that invented these meds, refuse to use them on minors aside from extraordinary circumstances, yet they are prescribed like candy in the US, basically a requirement if your child questions a teacher’s opinion on any subject, these “curious kids are the ones that usually are the creative thinker’s that go on to do great things, they are subdued with drugs that destroy that creativity!

Even if the young children will not become particularly creative, they are naturally energetic at their age – an important part of development and health. Grouped into cohorts by year of birth, some will naturally be less attentive, more fearful, etc. All these are opportuntites for money-making.

The children must be corralled as soon as they can walk and placed under the supervision of strangers because both parents must work flat out to earn – or try to earn – what one parent alone could decades ago, but that is another story.

Excellent. I found myself saying “mmm-hmm” after almost every sentence. I expect most of us who are aware have had very similar if not identical experiences with the bats in our lives.

Recently, I was told by two bat-shit crazy colleagues, whose names were on music albums of mine, that they wanted their names removed since they didn’t want to be associated with me “in any way” — all due to my views on covid. And those views are pretty tame compared to ones I harbor further in my cerebral recesses. Anyway, it was a rather startling blow, because they were insinuating that I am some kind of monster, some criminal, and that to be associated with me was just downright insane or dangerous or who knows what. But beyond the personal attack, it disturbed me to no end that these colleagues had seemingly become delusional. Of course, I’ve been witnessing this irrational behavior replicated in stories, videos, accounts on-line for a very long time now, but I think the ugly side of humans is just more evident than before. The revealing is off the charts, and yet these people see none of it. Unbelievable. It’s a damned Twilight Zone episode in real life. Take it back — Twilight Zone was tame compared to this living nightmare.

So, to answer the question “So what is it? The vaccine? 5G?” Neither got us here, but both are going to take society further down into dystopian darkness. What got much of society to become almost psychotic to the point where the “new normal” is an acceptable form of inverted reality, seems to me to have been deliberately achieved through meticulous pyscho-social engineering over many, many generations through media, education, authoritarian trickery, spell casting even.

I do think this is a spiritual battle now, but only a few of us seem up to recognizing it and doing something, anything — just growing food or just saying no. We realize that the controlling oligarchy has a dark, occult agenda that is just downright evil to the core.

Here’s an interesting question: What if they get everything they want — total control over the entire population (after the culling), with complete monitoring and surveillance and transhumanist slaves. Is that it? Does it end there? Because, from my current vantage point, it would seem these sinister forces just are never satisfied. Maybe that will be their eventual downfall. Maybe. I won’t be sitting on the sidelines just “hoping.” I can tell you that.

The thing about insanity – and clearly these sinister forces are insane – is that there is no master plan; and certainly no concern whatever with what happens after their “goals” are reached. I would label their machinations more as fixations than plans. Today they’re thinking one thing; tomorrow they may be thinking something else – and it wouldn’t bother them in the least if what they achieve today makes what they want tomorrow impossible.

Insanity is a self-sealing system, entirely self-referent. This is precisely why eventually the “ruling elites” will turn on one another. Not every lunatic has the same fixation.

On this topic I can recommend the film “Ultrasound“.
It is about mind control/hypnosis using a combination of drugs and hypnotic suggestion linked to high-frequency auditory stimuli.
I am not sure whether or to what extent we are being drugged, but we are being heavily propagandised with repetitive suggestions which has a hypnotic effect. Brainwashing is essentially a form of hypnosis.

It’s certainly true for me that the less I have to do with any of the accoutrements of modern, digital life (including this website), the better and healthier I feel. We are being drugged through our food, our water, and through our senses. One of the main aims of elite driven consumerism is to reverse our reward pathways and make addicts of us all. It’s a classic abuse relationship. The best course of action is to reject it all, as far as possible. And with that said, I’m off for a day outside in the sun with my family.

I also notice that those who have some degree of awareness, love and are close to Nature. They know themselves and – as it were – have their feet on the ground.

Interesting to see that the parasites/planners really fear Nature and wildness of any kind. They are extremely disconnected from their real selves.

Perhaps this is why they are so obsessed with technology, order and control, and see themselves as superior. They are lost in their illusions of power.

I find the following quote from the article to be a strange myth that american culture has self-generated and entrenched across a broad spectrum of the population (including outside of the US):

It is clear they don’t see the threat to our freedom and the democracy we have fought so hard and diligently to save over the years.”

American culture seems to me to be one of the most psychologically imprisoned (ie. ‘unfree’) and undemocratic (ie. only 2 parties dancing, both of which are on the same corporate coin) of the global band of ‘democracy’ flag waving corpo-nations.

“fought so hard and diligently to save over the years” just rings hollow. For example, if the ‘fought so hard’ refers to exporting war around the world for uncle Sam’s current money or resource grab, then its less about democracy and more about pathological greed, power hunger, and control.

To be sure, most of our species is so thoroughly divorced from practical, daily engagement with participatory local governance (voting for the next winner on ‘The Voice’ doesn’t count – nor does ‘voting’ every 4 years).

The ‘freedom and democracy’ programming has been so total and intense that it is now a pavlovian duty to salute death and destruction…as long as the hot dogs coming at the ol’ ball game

Many city suburbs still had only 2nd world economy’s backyard dunnies, with all the flies, and redback spiders that went with them…

I think all of us have varying degrees of denial. It serves a function in that it protects us (for a time) from something/someone we fear.

For many years, with the help of internet research, reading and a curious mind, I have been coming out of many denials bit by bit. I now begin to realise that most of what I was taught and believed, was false. The vastness of our ignorance and false belief systems are amazing to me.

Why have we been led to believe such lies? Always from fear of punishment or loss(if we proclaim the truth) and, of course, to protect and promote the so-called ruling class as we have been conditioned to do for many centuries.

You can always change your belief system if you want to.

This is a topic “close to home” for many of us.
Our idealogical battles with family, friends, colleagues.

There’s two broad categories of brainwashed.

The first are the 50% who are “low – IQ” (I will say, not intellect/education IQ, but “global awareness iq”).
Those who, for example, don’t know what NATO stands for nor what approximate countries are in it (hint: not Australia nor Israel nor NZ).
Avid consumers of USA Today / The Mirror / CNN / BBC etc, they actually dismiss anything (ie don’t bother to read it) from The Guardian / Politico / Intercept / Rolling Stone & similar “intellectual media” because they suspect that it has some agenda (!)
It’s not that they are dumb (some of these folks have multiple degrees), I think it’s more that they just like their politics kept simple, and have little interest beyond their own worlds.
Conversations can be amusing but infantile (“the oligarchs need to send Kyle Rittenhouse / Eric Bana over to sort Putin out”).
They can be reached in a limited way, if only because they have nothing sensible to counter simple facts.
Unfortunately 5 minutes later they are back to spouting whatever they were last fed on fb / twitter.

The other category are the politically and worldly aware, who probably digest the aforementioned Guardian / Intercept / et al, as well as professional journals, science & psychology & health periodicals – all of which are managed by the powers that be.
A lot of these publications have, over the past two years, regular articles about combating “misinformation”.
So the readers of these are pre-armed with their own facts & arguments.
Conversations with this type of brainwashed are tricky, best keep to well-established & irrefutable facts.
For example, they all believe in the official version of 9/11. So you can say “two buildings got hit, how come 3 buildings fell”, but anything off tangent and you will be dismissed as a loony.

The main features of the brainwashed are exposure to establishment-controlled media (many of which are not actually MSM, some pose as the opposite), and a faith in our “leadership”
(by leadership, I don’t mean the clowns-in-chief, but the invisible “adults-in-the-room”).

One thing that binds the readership here, is that we know that those in charge do not act in our interests.

A good summary of what life is like for many of us here.

I just can’t wrap my head around the fact that there are now so few people who can be bothered to think.
I’m 75, but I really didn’t think the situation was that dire when I was 70…
And I’m the one who’s supposed to be ‘slowing down’…

It’s as if a thought-wave obstacle has been introduced into the human race, and that idea, in turn, reminds me of a String Quartet I once heard by John Cage many years ago:

The speed indications for the first three sections were as follows, and the performers really took their time…
1 – ‘Quietly Flowing Along’ (summer)
2 – ‘Slowly Rocking’ (autumn)
3 – ‘Nearly Stationary’ (winter).

“Nearly Stationary” pretty well sums up the intellectual energy levels of far to many human beings today…

It’s harder with friends, I am 70 and my great friend who is 75 will not look, I rant at him but he is kind and I apologise. He is a musician and poet and has my great respect and affection which somehow makes it harder for me.

A friend much younger likes to talk, but I cannot be bothered if he will not read or look at anything, I send him things just so he might reconsider for his own health. But it does no good.

When you come across like a born again Christian, badgering your family or others to accept God’s Word; when you come across all preachy to them (but enthusiastically rational to yourself) – of course they’re going to turn-off, not want to hear The Good News…
They are not stupid. They are not sheep. They are not blind…But they are frightened…

From the start of the ‘covid’ stage of capitalism’s Great Reset campaign the mass media assault on peoples senses has been intense and non-stop. People tuned-out, as could be expected to result from such an assault on their attentions .And a tuned-out people will experience those who try to convince them of The Truth as badgering irritants…

The propagandists know there’s a point when their continued banging-on will turn counter-productive, so they ‘give it a rest’. (The ‘covid narrative’ appears to crumble)…
(The Wise Ones among us realised when the US began banging The Drums of War that The Ukraine would likely provide A Distraction, while the ‘covid narrative’ was rested.)…

This past week NSW’s head politician began talking-up the real possibility of “wave after wave” of ‘covid’ surges during the coming months. (It’s not yet obvious whether “stealth” Omicron, Deltacron, or a new variant will star in the revived campaign.)…
The politician revealed that ‘health expert’s’ modeling was the basis of his predictions…
Modeling has played no role in Australia’s ‘covid’ scare campaigns to date. It appears that very British device is to play a role in the revived ‘covid narrative’.

There was One mention in Sydney’s press , months after a lockdown. It was an after-the-lockdown justification for the lockdown. It claimed the modeling showed

Last week was the first time NSW’s ‘health authority’ has mentioned any modeling before an ‘outbreak’. Even when they correctly predicted “positive tests” would increase those predictions werent based on models.

Apparently the WEF poobahs promoting the ostensibly utopian future of “you’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy” believe that they have a solemn responsibility to discreetly eliminate any written work that might (in their view) lead to, or induce, unhappiness.

Yeah I caught that too. This episode was my last chance for this show. The left ruined it just like Star Wars. And Star Trek: Discovery was awesome for two seasons. Then they ruined that too. Lifelong trekkie is done with this woke nonsense.

There is a make-believe element to the stories being retailed by state corporatist outlets like BBC and CNN. In recent days three of the top headlines out of Mariupol either did not happen, or not in the way they were told:

The maternity hospital bombing featured a mother who is an Instagram influencer. The building appears to have been decommissioned. Twitter allowed no Russian perspective and deleted posts pointing out discrepancies. Fact Check Org was left to finesse the story.

The mosque that was “bombed” as Turkish residents took refuge, is still standing.

Now a theatre said to be packed with children has been hit by an airstrike that Russia denies. Shocking if true but after 48 hours not a single photograph of a victim or survivor has emerged. Not even an ambulance. Just a theatre with a hole in it.

What this tells us is those who seized control of policy in the West want a certain type of war, and if the real war does not deliver the headlines, they will create virtual events that do.

Just to add the Russian mod or whoever also notified in a press meeting that the hospital was being used as a barracks and would be attacked

In initial reports, the hospital was a children’s hospital.

The decomissioned may have been occupied by the freelance terrorists.

There’s no such thing as “mass formation”. There is mass brainwashing through trauma based mind control. It’s how society functions, and it’s eons old. Behavioral science didn’t start with Freud.

Trauma based mind control, hypnosis. and mass delusions are global and multi-generational. Much of this is subliminal and happens in a child’s formative years even before the mass indoctrination at school.

The majority of information available in libraries or on the internet is often outright false or intentionally misleading. No wonder people function as zombies who don’t know how to separate truth from fiction, let alone question what’s in the “news”. The news cycle itself is the strategy of tension. Fear programming.

Most people’s belief systems are based on a set of lies they’ve never questioned. So they don’t question *if* there’s a deadly virus, or *if* the whole world must shut down, or *if* the world should “reset”. They obey, conform, memorize and regurgitate.

Only a small percentage of people are strong willed enough not to automatically conform and won’t commit atrocities (like injecting children with poison) or comply with absurdities (like wearing masks) as the Asch and Milgram experiments document.

No. The “mass formation” concept comes from some Masonic shill, making it appear like some new phenomena when it’s an age old technique. Mass mind control is commonly known and understood. Good old fashioned brainwashing through propaganda, repetition of lies creating a mass delusion based on mass consensus and conformity. I explained it in my comment.

When you know those subjects, particularly the ones related to imagery, Masonic signs, gestures, hand signals and esoteric language, it will be self evident. I used the term “Masonic shill”. Not Freemason. Start with Desmet’s (if that’s even his real name) MASONIC BOOK COVERS. Then research Lacan and Hegel and how those two are connected to Freemasonry.

Are you denying that organized religion is behavior control? Religions and rituals were the first behavior control paradigms. And what are they based on? Conformity, misinformation and fear programs. The science of behavior modification and social engineering is thousands of years old. The knowledge has been passed down generationally through the various priesthoods.

This is our transition time between the Age of Pisces and the Age of Aquarius. And yes, Neptune’s distorting effect is strong in its own sign of Pisces, especially with planet Jupiter conjunct. Intelligent Astrology is fascinating, and so accurate!

For those interested, planet Neptune remains in the sign of Pisces until January 2026.

2026 marks the end of the covid operation phase. That’s when they transition to the next phase. World wide depression and the “smart scramble“ described in the Rockefeller Planning Scenarios. That’s when nobody will have a job and be allowed work unless they are somehow training the robot replacements for humanity. Impoverishing everyone by transforming the global economy is the ultimate goal. Once people are impoverished they’ll do anything to survive. Take any shot. Walk straight into any FEMA camp. Wait in line for their GMO ration.

Covid is just a virus. Its belongs in the same group of viruses that seasonally bother many of us with the common cold. It will eventually go away, probably becoming just another nuisance.

Ukraine is something altogether very different. Although there are parallels in the way information is ‘sold’ to the public there isn’t any connection between the two. Ukraine is a fight against a particular form of global hegemony. Its a fight that has been brewing for some time but at the same time it was a fight that could have been easily avoided. It could have easily been characterized as an ‘us’ (good) versus ‘them’ (bad) issue except that there’s another player — China — that’s indirectly involved. I don’t know if our Western leaders thought this through but there’s a fundamental problem with escalating an economic war with a state because our economic war with another has finally spilled over into an actual real conflict, especially when neither of the parties is big enough to bully. (It won’t stop us from trying — China has already been warned of ‘consequences’ by President Biden if it doesn’t toe the line over Russia. I don’t know what the Chinese response will be but it is mostly unlikely to be to leap to attention, doff their caps and chorus “Yas, boss”.)(So our newspapers duly report that there are Chinese spies active in California, targeting a ‘dissident artist’ . Not the sort of thing that’s going to get a lot of traction.)

Its not just China, of course. Every country that’s felt the lash of American displeasure is hardly likely to want to leap to our aid. This, incidentally, is something that has been worrying me for years — you just can’t keep bullying everyone, 800 global bases or no, because sooner or later you’re not only going to run out of countries to browbeat or leaders to bribe and there will be a critical mass of ‘others’ who dislike us. They may not rush to our opponent’s aid but then neither are they going to be in a hurry to help us.

The sad thing is that all of this could have been avoided. Its not just the spiraling cost of living here but the fact that real people are being killed, real lives upended real things being destroyed. But then its impossible to tell some people that that dog might bite if you provoke it — its safe enough in its yard minding its own business but you have to go beating on the fence to provoke it.

  1. About the motives of the unvaccinated – Part 1 (Introduction, Effectiveness)
  2. About the motives of the unvaccinated – Part 2 (Safety)
  3. About the motives of the unvaccinated – Part 3 (Virus isolation)

This is an attempt to build a bridge between two very different perspectives at this difficult time – that of unvaccinated people who are extremely critical of Corona vaccinations, and vaccinated people who believe vaccinating as many fellow human beings as possible is important.

These videos are intended to give unvaccinated people a way to openly share their backgrounds and motivations that contribute to their decision not to vaccinate. The target audience here is friends and acquaintances who have at least a minimal interest in understanding the why behind this decision.
