Neuro-linguistic programming against populations

 

Turn off the TV – Neuro-linguistic programming has been used against populations in many countries and the UK could be in the driver’s seat

By The Exposé on August 16, 2021

 

There is a famous example of Derren Brown using neuro-linguistic programming (“NLP”) to influence Simon Pegg’s selection of a gift. Brown is a well-known British illusionist, mentalist, hypnotherapist and author.

Based on the scenario – “Imagine instead of trying to work out what your complicated friend wants for her birthday, you could just go out, buy whatever you like and then convince her that’s what she wants, life would be much easier” – Brown demonstrates conversational hypnosis using techniques such as anchoring, visual cues, suggestion and replacement.

As a technology, NLP has an amazing track record for instigating fast and efficient change in individuals and groups.  If you ask 10 people, you’ll get 10 different answers but when you get to the crux: NLP is a covert form of direct hypnosis.  As with all things, NLP can be used for good or it can be used for bad.  It depends on the intent of those using it.  The nefarious use of NLP techniques, the dark side of NLP, can in all probability be used both for mind-control and brainwashing.

Hypnotherapists have been noticing blatant hypnosis and NLP techniques being used by the UK government and state-controlled / legacy media during the “pandemic”.  Miss Anthropist 2.0 sums up these techniques in a twitter thread:

“Fractionation.  You get them to do something not once, but again and again, increasing the level of intensity each time. Usually you do this 3 times (note: we’ve had 3 lockdowns). This increases compliance – you’re much more likely to get them to do whatever you want.

“A ‘Yes’ set.  Get them to say ‘Yes’ to something small at first (2 weeks to “flatten the curve”) then gradually increase (months of lockdown, Christmas cancelled, socially/economically coerced into vaccines). In this way they’re much more likely to keep saying yes. 

“Confusion.  Keep them in a constant state of uncertainty. The conscious mind responds by ‘going offline’ as it searches for the appropriate response for something it has no precedent for. Then it’s much easier for the manipulator to gain access to the unconscious mind and change belief systems. For example, lockdown rules are changing on practically a day-to-day basis; we’re living in a world we’ve never lived in before, everyone’s stumbling about with no idea how to behave. We’ve no energy left to fight our oppressors.

“Repetition.  Repeat the same information over and over.

“Illusion of Choice.  Make them believe they’re in control by giving them 2 choices, both of which lead to the same result. For example, ‘Do you want the Pfizer or the Oxford?’ or ‘You can choose to be good or bad. Bad = more lockdown. Good = more lockdown.’

“Social Proof.  Images and videos of film and TV stars, musicians and sportsmen and women receiving their jab. “Look, all these great celebrities are backing it!”

“Scarcity.  “You’ll have to wait your turn for the vaccine… we might be running out!”, to create a surge in people booking in for their jab, thus increasing uptake.”

The Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (“SAGE”), which advises the UK government, also relies on expert subcommittees for Covid-19 specific advice. These subcommittees include: NERVTAG; SPI-M; and, Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Behaviours (“SPI-B”).  The Scientific Pandemic Influenza group on Behaviour and Communications (“SPI-B&C”) advised SAGE during the 2009/10 swine flu “falsified pandemic”.  Despite the 2009/10 swine flu being “one of the greatest medicine scandals of the Century,” SPI-B&C reconvened in February 2020, this time, its remit was limited to behaviour and it was renamed SPI-B.

During a meeting on 22 March 2020 the SPI-B proposed the use of fear – ‘sense of personal threat’ – through the media and intimidation – ‘the use of social disapproval for failure to comply’- against the trusting UK public. SPI-B’s report also stated: ‘There are nine broad ways of achieving behaviour change: Education, Persuasion, Incentivisation, Coercion, Enablement, Training, Restriction, Environmental restructuring, and Modelling’.  After which we saw a unified mass-media campaign that falls in line with these techniques, followed by a dramatic shift in public perception and behaviour.  What else can we call this but brainwashing?

Last year, the BBC, CBC Radio Canada, The New York Times and Microsoft collaborated on the Origin Project to combat disinformation using a multiparty stakeholder, cross-organisational collaboration focussed on news and information content.  Further to this, earlier this year, BBC and Microsoft teamed up with Adobe, Arm, Intel and Truepic to create the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (“C2PA”): an end-to-end standards-setting body to address “disinformation, misinformation and online content fraud”. 

This is truly concerning considering the BBC, who has been implementing SPI-B’s psychological “pandemic” strategies, is the biggest propaganda machine the world has ever seen.  We should not believe anything the BBC says without checking it with another source.

Dozens of psychologists have since accused the UK government of using “covert psychological strategies.”  By April 2021, they were so concerned that the British public had been the subject of a mass experiment in the use of strategies that operated “below their level of awareness” that they made a formal complaint to their professional body, to rule on whether government advisers had been guilty of a breach of ethics.

As if SAGE and BBC were not enough for the public’s psyche to contend with, it has been public knowledge since at least May last year that, the 77^th Brigade, part of the British military, has been part of the Covid-19 communication strategy. The 77^th Brigade activities include information warfare and “supporting counter-adversarial information activity,” which includes “creating and disseminating digital and wider media content in support of designated tasks.” 

Since at least April 2020, both Google and GCHQ, the British signals intelligence organisation, had been working inside the National Health Service (“NHS”). We have to question why the skills of the military and intelligence agencies are needed to “serve and protect” the UK population from a coronavirus, of which several can infect humans just as they have done, annually, for decades.

The use of NLP techniques against the UK population by its own public institutions may, to some, seem like insanity, like the “world has gone mad.”

But “it’s not madness.  What we are facing is calculated and it’s a mistake to call it “madness”, because it’s very precise; it’s very calculated,” said Brian Gerrish during an interview with Stiftung Corona Ausschuss (or Corona Investigative Committee).  Gerrish, after spending twenty-one years in the Royal Navy, together with Mike Robinson founded the UK Column.  Together they have been researching the use of applied behavioural psychology by the UK government for over 20 years.

From 2010/11 a team of psychologists, the Behavioural Insights Team (“BIT”), were working directly alongside not only the political process, but the policy-forming process within the UK government.  In a 2010 document, “Mindspace”, the UK government boasted it could change the way people think and behave, and that people will not be aware that this has been done to them.

The Franco-British Council, a charity set up to “improve relationships between Britain and France”, was in reality used as a front to bring the political psychology teams of Britain and France together to produce joint plans. “It was very clear that there was concerted effort to expand the use of these techniques: not only from Britain and France, but the implication at that time was that these techniques were going to be used across the wider power base of the European Union,” said Gerrish.

Fast forward to 2019 and very early on in the “Covid pandemic” SAGE had an internal meeting with elements of the Government’s BIT. A briefing sheet from the meeting “admitted that the SAGE team and the Government’s policy on Coronavirus was going to use applied psychology in order to ramp up fear in the population, in order to get the population to adhere more closely to the Government’s policy over the response to Coronavirus,” said Gerrish.  

BIT has been using, amongst other things, NLP in order to influence virtually every document that the Government produces.  “Every statement made by the Government, every piece of paper that comes out, is invariably very carefully crafted, it’s very carefully put together,” Gerrish said.

Lastly, but by no means insignificant, there is Common Purpose: the deeply sinister organisation with thousands of operatives in positions of power and influence in the UK.  The training, which uses NLP, is designed to give people a new set of values to “lead beyond authority” and enable them to assume power in what they call “a post-democratic society.”  It has members in the NHS, BBC, the police, the legal profession, the church, many of Britain’s 7,000 quangos, local councils, the Civil Service, government ministries, Parliament, and it controls many Regional Development Agencies.

Throughout the “pandemic” most countries been following the same “script”.  As to where that “script” is written Gerrish said, “I am very embarrassed to say that I do believe [the seat] is in the UK.”

How do we stop ourselves being mesmerised and break free from their spell?  Begin by turning off the television and be aware of which online resources “the indoctrinators” are using – Google, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, “the fact-checkers” etc – and how they are being used. 

Do your own research. Find reliable and independent media sources to follow.  Join local groups that meet up and are not afraid to discuss the truth.  Then share it, speak openly.  By exposing and getting information out we may be able to help others “see the light”.  Real knowledge kills the illusion they have created.  And in this sense, the “pandemic” that’s been thrown at us to make us fearful could actually be the very thing to get people coming back as human beings.

Digital ID for control of mass by the Globalists

The move comes as governments worldwide are steering citizens toward centralized identification:

  • UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has revived Britain’s digital ID plans.

  • Australia’s 2024 Digital ID Bill advances a nationwide identity system.

  • The EU’s Digital Identity Wallet aims to link credentials across borders.

Canadian Government Quietly Advances Plan for National Digital ID

Frank Bergman

Nov 10, 2025

 

Canada’s federal government is quietly moving forward with a national digital ID system, slipping the plan into the depths of its 2025 budget where almost no one would notice.

On page 490 of the massive document, the Liberal Party government proposes to “modernize legislative authorities to support information sharing and digital services” within the Department of Employment and Social Development.

However, the bland language masks a sweeping shift toward centralized digital identification.

The plan begins with a seemingly limited pilot: digital IDs for people applying for Employment Insurance and Old Age Security.

But the budget makes clear the ultimate goal is a fully integrated identity system linking multiple benefit programs under a single government-controlled profile.

“This modernization would benefit all Canadians,” the budget claims.

It continues by promising “efficient and convenient government services” and supposedly helping “seniors, newcomers, persons with disabilities, and rural residents.”

But critics note the pattern and warn that governments always pitch digital ID as “convenience,” only for it to expand into a universal surveillance and control tool once the infrastructure is built.

A Slow Creep Toward a Unified, Centralized ID

The federal bureaucracy has floated digital ID schemes before, only to retreat when public backlash erupted over privacy fears.

This time, the rollout is quieter. Narrower.

It’s framed as “modernizing benefits delivery” instead of erecting a national ID regime.

But behind the scenes, the architecture is already taking shape.

In 2024, Employment and Social Development Canada hired private consultants to explore merging its fragmented benefit systems.

Their conclusion was to mandate integration through a single digital identity, serving as a master key granting access to multiple programs, eliminating paperwork, and centralizing personal data in one place.

The department says the goal is “more integrated and efficient services across government.”

In practice, it means creating the largest single repository of citizens’ most sensitive data.

Massive Privacy Risks, Minimal Transparency

Digital identity systems consolidate everything, such as banking details, biometric data, health records, and government history, into a single target.

One breach exposes everything, and the centralized gatekeepers have control over all of it.

Canada’s own privacy commissioner warned in 2024 that public trust in data protection is collapsing, citing “limited trust” and deep concern about how institutions handle personal information.

The report also highlighted the rise of “state-sanctioned” data breaches, a stark reminder that foreign actors, and even governments themselves, see digital ID as a goldmine.

Yet the government insists participation will remain voluntary and that traditional services, whether they’re in-person, mail, or phone, will continue.

But history shows “voluntary” digital systems eventually become impossible to opt out of as analog options are phased out.

Even the budget admits major obstacles: “Digital literacy gaps among seniors,” “connectivity issues,” and “language barriers” for newcomers.

But these warnings haven’t slowed the rollout.

A Global Push Toward Government-Backed Digital Identity

Canada is not alone.

The move comes as governments worldwide are steering citizens toward centralized identification:

  • UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has revived Britain’s digital ID plans.

  • Australia’s 2024 Digital ID Bill advances a nationwide identity system.

  • The EU’s Digital Identity Wallet aims to link credentials across borders.

Each initiative is framed as modernization.

Each expands state access to personal information.

And each follows an eerily similar script: convenience first, surveillance potential later.

A Major Shift Hidden In Plain Sight

Whether Canada’s proposal becomes the foundation of a national digital ID will depend on how far the government pushes “information sharing” and “integration.”

For now, the changes are buried quietly in the budget, but the direction is unmistakable.

A slow, steady transformation is underway, redefining how Canadians interact with their government, how their identities are authenticated, and how much control the state has over access to everyday services.

And once a digital ID system is built, history shows it rarely stops at “convenience.”

Portable solar still invention

She turned the thing that was killing them into the thing that saved them—using nothing but sunlight and chemistry.

Picture this: 1942, somewhere in the vast Pacific Ocean. An American pilot floats in a tiny life raft after his plane went down. He survived the crash. He survived the impact with the water. But now he's facing a crueler death.

 

He's surrounded by water — millions of gallons of it, stretching to every horizon. And he's dying of thirst.

 

Salt water is a liar. It looks like salvation but delivers death. Drink it, and your kidneys panic, desperately trying to filter out salt they can't handle. They pull water from your tissues, from your cells, making you more dehydrated with every sip. You can die of thirst while floating on an ocean.

 

The U.S. military is losing men this way. Not to bullets or bombs, but to thirst. They need an answer, and they need it fast.

 

Enter Mária Telkes—42 years old, Hungarian immigrant, chemistry PhD, working in a research lab most people have never heard of. She left Budapest in 1925 with a degree, an accent, and an obsession that other scientists dismissed as impractical: capturing sunlight and making it work.

 

She stares at the problem: Sailors dying of thirst. Life rafts too small for machinery. No electricity. No fuel. No space for heavy equipment.

 

Just sun, salt water, and desperation.

 

And then she thinks: What if I use the enemy—the sun that's beating down on them, dehydrating them, killing them — what if I make it their savior?

 

Her invention sounds like something from a dream: A portable solar still. Inflatable. Made of clear plastic. Folds small enough to fit in an emergency kit. Weighs almost nothing.

 

The brilliance is in the simplicity: Sunlight heats the device. Seawater inside begins to evaporate. Pure water vapor rises, leaving the salt behind. The vapor hits the cooler plastic surface, condenses into droplets, and drips into a collection container.

 

Output? One quart of fresh water per day.

 

One quart. Doesn't sound like much, does it? But one quart daily is the razor's edge between "dead in 72 hours" and "alive when the rescue ship arrives two weeks later."

 

The military puts Telkes solar stills in every Navy and Air Force life raft.

 

How many lives did it save? Hundreds? Thousands? We'll never know the exact number. But every pilot who bailed out over the Pacific and made it home, every sailor who drifted for days after a torpedo attack and survived—some of them owe their lives to a Hungarian chemist who understood one profound truth:

 

The sun doesn't discriminate. It doesn't care about your rank, your country, whether you're "worthy" of rescue. It just gives, endlessly, if you know how to receive.

 

Her colleagues start calling her "The Sun Queen."

 

But Mária isn't interested in titles. She's interested in the next problem.

 

The war ends. She's already thinking ahead: If sunlight can save lives at sea, why can't it heat homes?

Everyone tells her it's impossible. Solar energy is too weak, too unreliable. You need coal, oil, gas—real fuel that burns when you need it.

 

Mária Telkes smiles and says: Watch me.

 

In 1948, she partners with architect Eleanor Raymond and philanthropist Amelia Peabody to build something that will make history: the Dover Sun House in Massachusetts—the world's first home heated entirely by solar power.

 

The genius is in her chemistry: Solar panels on the roof capture heat during the day, but the real magic is her thermal storage system. She uses Glauber's salt—sodium sulfate—that absorbs massive amounts of heat when it melts, then slowly releases it when it solidifies.

 

The house stays warm at night. On cloudy days. Without burning a single lump of coal.

 

This is 1948. Most of America is heated by coal furnaces. "Solar power" sounds like science fiction. And Mária just built a house that proves it's science fact.

 

The house runs for three winters before technical issues arise—the salt degrades, heating becomes uneven. Critics celebrate: "See? We told you solar doesn't work!"

 

But Mária has already won. She didn't prove that solar heating is perfect. She proved it's possible. And what's possible can be perfected.

 

She never stops.

 

Twenty patents. Thermoelectric devices for NASA. Groundbreaking research on phase-change materials—the same principles that power modern solar plants today.

 

In 1977, at age 77, the American Solar Energy Society gives her their Lifetime Achievement Award. She's still working, still innovating, still pushing into territories that don't exist yet.

 

She dies in 1995 at 95, having lived long enough to see solar panels go from "fringe science" to suburban rooftops, having watched her lonely experiments grow into a global movement.

 

Here's why Mária Telkes matters beyond the inventions:

 

She solved problems that killed people. Not abstract equations on a chalkboard—immediate, deadly human problems. Men dying of thirst. Families freezing in winter. Astronauts needing power in the void of space.

 

She did it using the most democratic resource on Earth: sunlight. Free. Abundant. Available to everyone, regardless of wealth or power.

 

And she did it as a woman in the 1940s—when science labs were boys' clubs, when "female scientist" was said with a smirk, when her brilliance was constantly underestimated because of her gender.

 

Every solar panel you see today. Every conversation about renewable energy. Every thermal battery in modern solar facilities. Every time someone treats sunlight as fuel instead of just warmth.

 

That's her legacy.

 

Mária Telkes taught us that the sun—which has been flooding Earth with energy for four billion years—isn't just something to feel on your skin. It's something you can engineer. Harness. Transform into survival.

 

She proved that chemistry plus sunlight equals life. That women belong at the table solving humanity's hardest problems. That an immigrant with an unconventional idea can save countless lives.

 

Some inventors create conveniences. Mária Telkes created the difference between drowning in an ocean of undrinkable water and living long enough to see home again.

 

The Sun Queen didn't just study solar energy.

 

She turned it into hope.

The American Dilemma

The American Dilemma
By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts
Global Research, Sep 21, 2025

The problem that  Americans face is that neither Republicans nor Democrats can represent their interest.

The Republicans represent Israel’s interest. The reason for this is that Republicans tend to be more conservative, more religious, and more patriotic than Democrats and are often seen by their opponents as jingoistic. The Republican mentality toward Israel comes from the “Judeo-Christian ethic” and the long Cold War against the Soviet Union.

The Judeo-Christian ethic is an oxymoron. God in the Old Testament is angry and vengeful. In the New Testament he is loving and forgiving. The “Judeo-Christian ethnic” is a propaganda term that disarms Christians from seeing Zionists for what they are.

During the Cold War of the 20th century, there was much focus on the Middle East. Washington was determined to minimize Soviet influence and to control oil flows. Israel was hyped as our ally, our base in the Arab Middle East against Soviet Communism. Thus, for conservatives, Israel is just part of America.  

Two consequences are that conservative Americans are blind to Zionist Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians and to the fake “war on terror” which in actual fact was Israel’s use of American lives and money against Israel’s opponents in the Middle East. Washington has spent the first quarter of the 21st century clearing away obstacles to Greater Israel.

The Democrats represent the interests of those who are alleged to be “oppressed by prudes and white racists.” Democrats are the defenders of immigrant-invaders who enter our country illegally. They champion “multiculturalism,” which is white replacement and a Tower of Babel. 

Democrats are the champions of sexual perverts. It is more important to a progressive, liberal, leftist Democrat that a male who declares himself a female have access to women’s spaces and athletic competitions than for a criminal suspect to have a fair trial. Democrats think that the most important civil right in the world is for biological males who self-declare themselves “transgendered” into females to take a woman’s place on a swim or soccer team and share the showers with the biological female members of the teams.  

The Democrats have no concern with the rights of the displaced real women to compete in sports. Similarly, Democrats are concerned with the sexual preference rights of “minor-directed persons” (pedophiles), not with the sexual abuse of children. Have you not noticed how vehement the Democrat progressive liberal left is in defending the rights of sexual perverts? Indeed, you are not even allowed to use such a term as sexual perverts, because  sexual perversions have been normalized by the Democrat liberal left. It is entirely possible that the Democrats will criminalize heterosexual sex, because it produces more “aversive racists,” thus perpetuating white racism. Yes, laugh, but the prospect has already been explored in science fiction.

The consequence of the two parties’ indoctrinated biases is that it is impossible for either to represent the values and interests of the ethnic base of America. By supporting whatever crime Israel commits, Republicans maintain their pro-Israel base at the expense of the moral values of their base. Even red states such as Texas and Florida will not give you a state contract or job if you criticize or boycott Israel.

The Democrats, committed as they are to white replacement as all whites are aversive racists, refuse to protect American borders from immigrant-invaders. Democrats are committed to emptying citizenship from meaning.

What is the result of the inability of either party to represent Americans?

If Republicans are in office, it means wars for Israel.

If Democrats are in office, it means open borders and wars against the family, wars against real Christianity not the fake Christian Zionist variety created by Israel, wars against normal heterosexuality, wars against merit and, thereby, the destruction of educational standards, and advancement based on skin color and perverse sexuality. For the Biden regime the ideal candidate was a black transgendered. Biden’s black Secretary of Defense announced that there would be no promotion of white heterosexual males until “equity had been attained.”

Elon Musk was correct when he said that America needs a new political party, one independent of economic, foreign, and ideological interests. But Musk did not say who would finance it. It would take Musk’s entire wealth. The combination of the corrupt US Supreme Court ruling that it is legal for corporations to purchase the US government with campaign contributions and the stupidity of the annual subsidy of billions of US dollars to Israel, which is used by Israel to purchase the House of Representatives, the US Senate, the President and the  administration, make it abundantly clear that Americans have a government that is totally incapable of representing Americans.

Throughout the Western World it is not democracy that rules. The Western World is ruled by vested interests whose campaign contributions determine policy. When Putin and Lavrov negotiate with Washington officials, they are not negotiating with a government. They are negotiating with representatives of the private interests whose money places Representatives, Senators, and Presidents in office.  

The two most powerful vested interests in America are the US military/security complex and the Israel Lobby. As they share the interest in war and its profits in terms of money and territory, peace faces a powerful counterforce as peace does not serve the interests of the two most powerful interest groups in the United States.

One wonders if Putin, Lavrov, Xi, and the Iranians will wake up one day and be capable of recognizing reality.

Supporters, Friends, Readers, the situation is worse than I describe above. Here is some of the evidence from this morning alone of Western collapse following the destruction of its beliefs:

The Satanic British Prime Minister Said the British Flag Represents “Diversity,” Not Ethnic British People

The Evil Starmer Declared the Ethnic British people “Divisive” for Protesting the Overrunning of their Country and Mass Rape of their Women. Starmer alleges that it is Ethnic British who cause violence, not immigrant-invaders.

It is extraordinary that the British people elected an anti-British Prime Minister. But maybe it is not. The Americans elected two anti-American presidents, Obama and Biden, and are almost certain to elect another once Trump is gone. 

Every day it becomes more clear that there is not enough self-belief in the West for the civilization to survive. All white ethnic peoples are being submerged in Multiculturalism. A Tower of Babel has replaced ethnic nationality.  Restorative leaders such as Charlie Kirk are simply shot down. Others are “cancelled” and disposed of via censorship, firings, and threats. The British prime minister has now aligned the British government with immigrant-invaders and declared the British government to be in opposition to the ethnic British people.  

The Western World is over and done with. The West’s last contribution to humanity will be nuclear war.
* Satanic German Soccer Team Interrogates Star Black Midfielder for Expressing Sympathy to Charlie Kirk’s Family Under pressure Felix Nmecha deleted what he wrote: “Celebrating the murder of a husband and a father of two, a man who peacefully stood up for his beliefs and values, is really evil and shows how much we really need Jesus Christ.”

Germans objected, which shows how lost to Satan the Western World is.

Nmecha possibly faces “millions of dollars in penalties for social media posts violating the club’s values.” Amazing, a member of a German football team faces millions of dollars in penalties for expressing sympathy for an assassinated man’s family.  Nmecha should find another team and another country.  Clearly a man of God does not belong in Germany.

Trump files $15 billion lawsuit against New York Times

The NY Times is “the worst and most degenerate newspaper in the history of our country, a mouthpiece for the Radical Left Democrat Party”– Trump

Trump is correct. The Democrats are cheering Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Makes you wonder if they did it.

The Democrats are an anti-American party. Democrats are the party of immigrant-invaders, sexual perversion, Antifa/BLM violence, and suppression of free speech. America is doomed, because almost half of the American 

population agrees with the Democrats. Notice that it is the most educated states that are the most anti-American. It was the universities that destroyed the belief system.

Sometimes conspiracies are right out in the open

Sometimes conspiracies are right out in the open
Jon Rappoport
May 18, 2025

This is disappointing to people who want their conspiracies hidden. But those are the breaks.

The estimate of annual visits to psychiatrists in America?

45-50 million. Shocking Numbers.

This doesn’t count visits to ordinary doctors’ offices, during which prescriptions for psychiatric drugs are written.

In the US, roughly 200 million prescriptions are written for antidepressants every year.

In the US, 73 million prescriptions for ADHD drugs are written every year.

In a given year, between 118 million and 122 million adults and children take at least one psychiatric drug.

That’s 35-37% of the US population.

Just over 1 out of 3 Americans.

All psychiatric drugs are toxic. And they scramble brains, they derail thinking. Some of the drugs stimulate aggression- suicide-murder. Others create sedation.

All this is happening under the banner of MENTAL HEALTH.

You want to tear a country to pieces? This is how.

(And I’m not even covering, in this piece, huge numbers of other pharmaceuticals and vaccines, all of which are toxic and destructive.)

The people who are on psychiatric drugs? They’re hammered by the chemicals—race, ethnicity, religion, political persuasion, income level, age…none of that matters. It’s an across the board effect.

And the situation is getting worse.

The PR for “mental health” is ramping up every day. New programs, new groups, new spokespeople.

“You have a problem? It’s not you, it’s your brain, and we have treatments for your condition.”

“Seek help. There is no stigma now.”

“Share and care.”

This is all a sales funnel for the psychiatric drugs.

That’s where it leads.

“No one is responsible for the problems he or she has. There are medicines.”

“Increased mental health awareness.”

Annual federal and state funding for “mental health services”? Around $50 billion. Take that together with the much higher payouts private insurance companies dole out, and all sorts of people have a major $$$ incentive for getting into the mental health industry.

Virtually every societal problem can be pawned off on mental health.

'Growth Mindset' Is Corporate BS...

'Growth Mindset' Is Corporate BS...
And Your CEO Knows It ??
Stephen Baines

Pejman Milani's visuals help us explore the $92B lie nobody's talking about:

Companies preaching 'growth mindset' are bleeding talent faster than ever

Why?

Because real growth threatens the power structure

Think about it:

• They want you 'growth-minded' enough to work harder
• But not enough to question broken systems
• Or demand what you're actually worth

The data exposes everything:

• 58% of companies admit ineffective performance management systems
• 65% of employees report fear of failure despite "fail fast" messaging
• Only 31% of companies effectively reward innovation and risk-taking

To help you, I have 10 Commandments for Strategic Thinkers

Save these and revisit them weekly:

1 Embrace Discomfort for Growth
? Growth lives outside the comfort zone
? Action: Push beyond what feels easy.

2 Master the Art of Silence
? Wisdom grows in listening, not speaking
? Action: Practice intentional silence in conversations

3 Transform Chaos into Clarity
? One page a day clears the fog
? Action: Start a daily brain-dump

4 Elevate Your Standards
? Action: Map out three small steps toward your goal

5 Engineer Your Progress
? Commit to one small win each day
? Action: Create a 30-day plan

6 Reframe Your Challenges
? Action: When setbacks hit, ask: What is this teaching me?

7 Harvest Your Insights

?? Architect Your Ideas
? Action: Spend 10 minutes organising your thoughts every morning

The REAL question:

With 80% of top companies banking on mindset, Can you AFFORD to be stuck in old patterns?

War Propaganda Fuels American Foreign Policy

How War Propaganda Has Fueled American Foreign Policy for a Century
By Ryan McMaken
May 17, 2025

The New York Times this week reports that the Trump administration has canceled many grants that were to fund “research” on “misinformation.” This is being presented by the media as a dastardly deed that will supposedly allow the spread of misleading or false information through various media channels.

Of course, if there were any genuine interest in studying the most egregious efforts to spread misinformation, media outlets like the Times would study themselves and their friends in the regime. After all, few organizations have been more complicit than the national American media and the US foreign policy establishment when it comes to spreading much of the worst propaganda in American history. I say “worst” because this propaganda has often been used in service to the worst ends: to gin up support for a variety of wars resulting in the deaths of thousands — sometimes even hundreds of 
thousands — of innocents.

Relatively recent media-regime partnerships in propagandistic misinformation include the “Russiagate” hoax, various efforts to obscure US meddling in Ukraine, and the nearly nonstop drumbeat of “news” stories over the past twenty years designed to push for regime change in various countries from Venezuela to Russia to Libya and to Syria — where the Assad regime, according to US design, was recently replaced by Islamist terrorists. And then, of course, there is the nonstop stream of misinformation designed to prop up the State of Israel and obscure its many war crimes. And let’s not 
forget the fictional “weapons of mass destruction” in Iraq which the US presented to the United Nations as established fact.

Throughout all this, the interventionist “foreign policy blob” in Washington received near universal support from its friends at publications like the Times and the Washington Post.

The United States did not invent these tactics. Over the past 100-plus years, however, perhaps no regime was more innovative than the British when it came to inventing “facts” designed to manufacture popular consent for wars and more foreign intervention. The United States has done its best to adopt similar methods, however, and creating invented narratives in service to the regime’s foreign policy goals is now standard operating procedure for the American state as well.

The Great War: The Turning Point

Throughout history, most great powers world have long lied to buttress their war efforts, but these efforts greatly increased in magnitude and sophistication during the twentieth century, mostly with the assistance of increasingly centralized organs of mass media.

For an insightful narrative on how this new “propaganda state” developed, we can consult the works of historian Ralph Raico, who suggests that the true turning point came with the First World War when the British regime, with the help of the media, engaged in a propaganda campaign of impressive effectiveness. Specifically, Raico posits that modern wartime propaganda began with “the Belgian atrocity stories of 1914, which was maybe the first great propaganda success in modern times.”

The stories of which Raico speaks were part of a concerted British campaign to wildly exaggerate German aggression in Belgium and to send the message that the Germans were a barbaric race unlike the civilized French and British people of Europe. It was mostly based on an official British government report known as the Bryce Report. The report made countless unsubstantiated claims about mass rapes, children with their hands cut off, violated nuns, and Canadian soldiers crucified on barn doors. This produced horror and anti-German zealotry around much of the world.

But there was one problem: it was nearly all based on lies. Raico writes:

What is the story of the Belgian atrocities? The story of the Belgian atrocities is that they were faked. They were fabricated. They were phony. The pictures were photographed in particular buildings which are known in Paris. Th stage sets were designed by designers for the Parisian opera. The stories were made up out of … whole cloth and spread by British propaganda as another weapon in the war — especially in the war for the minds of the neutral countries. …[T]his turns a good deal of public opinion against the Germans.

Raico adds one especially ironical note, and quotes historian Thomas Fleming, who according to Raico,
to his credit, mentions that the real cases of people, including children, with their hands cut off occurred in the Congo beginning in the 1880s, at the behest of the Belgian king Leopold II. Because of their great extent and nearly incredible cruelty, it’s those that deserve to be called “the Belgian atrocities.”

Chief among those neutral countries that were targets of British propaganda, of course, was the United States.

The British regime was desperate to have the Americans enter the war on the American side, and the British almost spared no trouble or expense convincing the Americans that the British were fighting against an enemy of untrammeled malice. The program was very successful. Raico notes that an

ingrained bias of the American political class and social elite was galvanized by British propaganda. On August 5, 1914, the Royal Navy cut the cables linking the United States and Germany. Now news for America had to be funneled through London, where the censors shaped and trimmed reports for the benefit of their government. Eventually, the British propaganda apparatus in the First World War became the greatest the world had seen to that time; later it was a model for the Nazi Propaganda Minster Josef Goebbels. Philip Knightley noted:

British efforts to bring the United States into the war on the Allied side penetrated every phase of American life. . . . It was one of the major propaganda efforts of history, and it was conducted so well and so secretly that little about it emerged until the eve of the Second World War, and the full story is yet to be told.

The Americans Adopt British Methods

Ultimately, the British propaganda effort worked and the United States government enthusiastically entered the war on the side of Britain. This went against what was still a very large portion of the American public’s antiwar preferences, but the British had won the American elites over to their side.

After all, as the British effort mounted, even the Republican party’s leadership began pressuring Woodrow Wilson to take a more hardline anti-German stance. As Raico puts it “Americans, who devoutly wished to avoid war, had no spokesmen within the leadership of either of the major parties.”

Once the US entered the war, the US’s implemented its own propaganda barrage, and now it took on an additional dimension of outright censorship. For this, the media and the nation’s intellectuals were enlisted to push the war message, and, as Raico writes public schools and the universities were turned into conduits for the government line. Postmaster General Albert Burleson censored and prohibited the circulation of newspapers critical of Wilson, the conduct of the war, or the Allies. The nation-wide campaign of repression was spurred on by the Committee on Public Information, headed by George Creel, the U.S. government’s first propaganda agency.

Just one example of the regime’s capture of educational institutions could be found in how The New York Times praised the President of Columbia University for dismissing faculty members who opposed the regime on conscription.

American Propaganda After the Great War

The Second World War brought another resurgence in war propaganda, and this time, American cooperation with British forces was virtually guaranteed ahead of time. By 1939, Roosevelt was comfortable promising King George VI “full support for Britain in case of war,” as Raico puts it.

By 1940, even before the US entered the war, The US government was working hand in glove with the British government to convince Americans of the necessity of US involvement in the war. As Raico notes, the full extent of this collaboration was covered up for decades, although, in 1976, the public finally learned the story of William Stephenson, the British agent code named “Intrepid,” sent by 
Churchill to the United States in 1940. Stephenson set up headquarters in Rockefeller Center, with orders to use any means necessary to bring the United States into the war. With the full knowledge and cooperation of Roosevelt and the collaboration of federal agencies, Stephenson and his 300 or so agents “intercepted mail, tapped wires, cracked safes, kidnapped, . . . rumor mongered” and incessantly smeared their favorite targets, the “isolationists.” Through Stephenson, Churchill was virtually in control of William Donovan’s organization, the embryonic U.S. intelligence service. Churchill even had a hand in the barrage of pro-British, anti-German propaganda that issued from Hollywood in the years before the United States entered the war. Gore Vidal, in Screening History, perceptively notes that starting around 1937, Americans were subjected to one film after another glorifying England and the warrior heroes who built the Empire. As spectators of these productions, Vidal says: “We served neither Lincoln nor Jefferson Davis; we served the Crown.”

Vidal was so impressed — in a bad way — by the continued success of British propagandists in this effort that he remarked:

For those who find disagreeable today’s Zionist propaganda, I can only say that gallant little Israel of today must have learned a great deal from the gallant little Englanders of the 1930s. The English kept up a propaganda barrage that was to permeate our entire culture…. Hollywood was subtly and not so subtly infiltrated by British propagandists.

Raico describes how closely the US and the UK collaborated in these efforts, and how successfully. By 1941, there was no doubt where the US regime would come down on the war issue. The primary question by then was how much Roosevelt would be able to drum up American hostility against Japan. In this respect, of course, he succeeded quite well.

A general worldview favoring endless international intervention was supplemented and cemented in the American mind for decades afterward by the ultimate purveyors of propaganda: the government schools. First and foremost was an effort to ensure that executive power was unlimited in international affairs claimed by Roosevelt and his successors. Raico writes:

Back in 1948, Charles Beard already noted the dismal ignorance among our people of the principles of our republican government: American education from the universities down to the grade schools is permeated with, if not dominated by, the theory of presidential supremacy in foreign affairs. Coupled with the flagrant neglect of instruction in constitutional government, this propaganda . . . has deeply implanted in the minds of rising generations the doctrine that the power of the president over international relations is, for all practical purposes, illimitable.

The US propaganda apparatus became less focused on British concerns after the war, but was deftly turned toward promoting US regime interests during the Cold War. In his work on the Truman years, Raico notes that by the late 1940s, Truman was also pressing for fresh hostilities, including open warfare, against the new enemy, the Soviet Union. Those who resisted, especially Republicans form the Taft wing of the party, were accused of being Stalin apologists.

In this, Truman, in what had become a well established pattern of American life, was assisted by elite journalists at media outlets. Raico notes:

Truman’s campaign could not have succeeded without the enthusiastic cooperation of the American media. Led by the Times, the Herald Tribune, and Henry Luce’s magazines, the press acted as volunteer propagandists for the interventionist agenda, with all its calculated deceptions. (Thee principal exceptions were the Chicago Tribune and the Washington Times–Herald, in the days of Colonel McCormick and Cissy Paterson.) In time, such subservience in foreign affairs became routine for the “fourth estate,” …. Overwhelmed by the propaganda blitz from the administration and the press, a Republican majority in Congress heeded the Secretary of State’s high-minded call to keep foreign policy “above politics” and voted full funding for the Marshall Plan.

Voices in favor of peace were shouted down and banished from public discourse. Historian Steven Ambrose sums up the Truman-media victory:

When Truman became president he led a nation anxious to return to traditional civil-military relations and the historic American foreign policy of non-involvement. When he left the White House his legacy was an American presence on every continent of the world and an enormously expanded armament industry. Yet so successfully had he scared hell out of the American people, the only critics to receive any attention in the mass media were those who thought Truman had not gone far enough in standing up to the communists. For all his troubles, Truman had triumphed.

By the end of the Truman years, the pattern was well established, based largely on the earlier efforts of British propaganda that was developed years earlier. Here were all the elements of manufacturing consent that would be employed during the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the arms wars of the 1960s and 1980s, and the new “regime change” wars of the post-Cold War world.

In this, we perhaps find the answer to a question posed by Raico during one of his lectures:

Isn’t it funny how, with the possible exception of Vietnam, all of America’s wars have been justified and have been right and good? I mean, what are the odds of something like that? A major power’s every war has been good, and the enemy has always been unbelievably horrible?

He already knew the answer. It was the state’s propaganda that made it possible for Americans to believe that virtually every new war is some kind of crusade against evil. Thanks to propaganda, the American thinking on foreign policy — which, in an earlier age had been more pragmatic and less moralistic — had taken on its modern tone of quasi-religious righteousness.

Indeed, in this contrast with America prior to the twentieth century, and the concomitant degeneration into an era of total war, we get some hint of just how much a century of relentless propaganda has fashioned the American mind.  Only in examining its history can we hope to fully understand the insidiousness and effectiveness of these methods. It is necessary to also have knowledge of their origins and this allows us to better understand the transformation that took place in the first third of the twentieth century as the American mind became accustomed to a nonstop and creeping propaganda that is still so present in American foreign policy today.
