Gaslighting, a term which originates from a 1940s Hollywood psychological drama, is a process, whether intentional or not, of constantly
drip-feeding false information to another person or group of people, effectively causing them to doubt their own perception of the world about them. If
done intentionally in order to cause the target of the psychological abuse to doubt their
[correct] perception it is what governments have recently taken to describing as “nudging”, i.e. gradually pushing or steering the subject towards acceptance of a certain belief or opinion which is contradictory to that person's experience or observation based conclusion.
At a more crude level, gaslighting, nudging or whatever other euphemistic terms are applied, is simply “lying” in order
to deceive the target into pursuing a particular sequence of
decisions beneficial to the gaslighter but detrimental to the themselves. And it is a favourite tactic of the billionaire psychopaths who now front the globalist movement. These <a href="https://edbutt.blogspot.com/2024/03/globalists-say-climate-change-is-threat.html">globalists hate freedom</a> and will present the pandemic, climate change, Russian / Cinese / Islamic expansionism, economic meltdown, anything at all to keep the population in a state of fear by presenting it as an existential threat.
If
done unintentionally it likely to be part of the behaviour pattern of
somebody with a personality disorder, especially Borderline Personality Disorder, in which the other person in the relationship tends to lose
contact with reality and can develop strange behaviour in order,
initially, to maintain the relationship until something snaps. It then
becomes difficult to attribute “intent”.
The term Gaslighting crops up frequently in news media and is apparent in many forms as part of day to day life. The most blatant and long running example of gaslighting, the Climate Catastrophe scare probably began about 45 years ago but really came to the fore in public perception around the turn of the century when we all being told, loudly and often, “look, the Earth’s temperature is
going up at an unprecedented rate”.
This was untrue. Most of the scaremongering was based on a graph, The Hockery Stick graph, created by 'Professor' Michael Mann, who had he been younger and submitted it as a high school homework project, would have scored a very low mark for committing the juvenile errror of exaggerating the scale on the vertical axis to produce a dramatic image. In Mann's case it was not an error, he knew exactly what he was doing by misrepresenting a very slight and temporary increase in global mean temperature so that it looked as if something really big is happening.
Thus the climate change scare and all its spin offs are based on the deliberate distortion of a graph of a
graph, dodgy downward “adjustments” of historical temperatures, erasure of the several centuries long 'Medieval Warm Period,' an almost evangelical campaign of scaremongering in mainstream media, warning that the coming Warmageddon
would certainly wipe out most of the life forms on earth should we not abandon the use of 'fossil fuels, fo, Mann and his cronies suggested unscientifically, the imaginary heatwave was caused entirely by Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from human activities which involved the burning of coal, oil and gas.
Sensing the prospect of an unending inflow of taxpaters money in the form of research grants, the climatology community rapidly closed ranks around Mann's flawed mathematical models, and took on many aspects of a religious cult. And there has surely never been any greater example of mass gasslighting than religion.
Within the climate catastrophe cult dissent became heresy and those who questioned the CO2 narrative were banished and excommunicated.
The process is alive and kicking in
UK schools to this day, “Climate Change” (i.e. Global
Warming rebranded) is included as part of the curriculum in many different subjects.
Another example has been COVID-19, the hoax pandemic on which we have written many thousands of words already. The process again began with a propaganda campaign, spreading fear and panic by vastly exaggerating the risk to the whole population of a disease that post little risk other than to the old and frail and the chronically sick or people with compromised immune systems.
Lockdown propaganda had a similar elements, but I
wouldn’t call it gaslighting because, rather than being drip-fed
falsehoods over twenty years, we were bullied or deceived into
submission over twenty days. That said, the occasional medical person I
come into contact with still talk as though Covid 19 is an existential
threat and that masks and vaccines are safe and effective. Even though it is now known that Lockdowns did more harm than good, the vaccines were totally ineffective as either a prophylactic or a therapy, and masks accelerated rather than slowing, the spread of the disease, the nudging continues.
An important element for the success of gaslighting is that the target
should have strong emotional motivation to keep the relationship
working, be it within a family or between a loyal citizen and the state and governments along with their whores in business, academic communities, the media and the medical professions have such an incentive. Governments can only rule with the consent of the people. Having lost our trust they understand that they must now keep enough of us in a state of fear to stave off the withdrawal of consent.

There is a recent example of how little we know about the complexities of climate, and how little control we have over the environment. Early in 2022 Hunga Tong,an underwater volcano erupted in the South Pacific, sending massive amounts of heat trapping water vapour into the atmosphere without any ash, which cools the environment by blocking energy inbound from the sun.
How the Hunga Tonga eruption looked on the ocean surface (Picture: The Guardian)
Results from scientific studies of the effects of that eruption have begum to appear and a recurring theme is the high likleyhood that the Hunga Tonga event has played a significant part in the high temperatures recorded around the world over 2023 and 2024. If that is the case northern Europe could be in for some scorching summers for years to come. But are these high temperatures unprecedented as alarmists claim.
We’ve had satellites recording climate data since the 1970s. Accurate themometers have only been around since the 18th century when Fahrenheit invented them. Detailed records maybe 100-150 years and even then many destroyed by World Wars. There are still no organised records for most of Africa and much of Asia and South America. Ocean records which would account for seventy five per cent of the planet's surface, are also patchy and were totally dependant on shipping routes until satellites came along. So for the majority of the planet records have only existed for slightly more than 50 years.
We’re talking numerical temperatures here now (temperature “records” after all) not climate “trends” from ice core sampling etc.
Modern humans have been here for 200,000 years plus. So a sampling interval (in statisticians terms!) of a tiny sliver of the planet's existence and just 0.08% of human history is what the alarmists are basing their predictions on. And we are expected to accept it is possible to accurately predict the future based on that? It is like saying hey it was really hot for the last minute so it’s going to stay that way, who cares that for the several hours preceding it we don’t know what the temperature was at all !!!.
The world isn’t being weaned off fossil fuel as globalist governments claim. The Western nations hamstringing of their own industrial base and shutting down their own oil and gas production and handing the industry over to China and India and the oil and gas to Saudi Arabia, Gulf States, Nigeria, Venezueala and to Russia of course, is empowering and enabling the very autocrats governments tell us are our enemies and threats to democracy.
In a way having arguments about this subject is pointless – except that it affects ordinary citizens directly in the pocket. CO2 emissions are rising at an accelerating rate year on year despite the numerous climate conferences and the hysterical “global warming, no climate change, no climate crisis, climate emergency” discourse.
Much of what the West has been doing of course is to simply offshore the CO2 production to other countries..Secondly net zero is simply technically in unfeasible and will remain so for many decades. The sun doesn’t always shine and the wind doesn’t always blow therefore you need backup therefore you need two energy production systems, gas being by far the best. Politicians mandating particular technologies has never been the way that energy or any other technical transition has happened in the whole of human history. “Stop burning wood and start burning coal” said Henry the 8th (NOT!). They won’t get it right!.
Electric vehicles, as one example, are worse for the environment on almost any metric than their internal combustion equivalence. They “work” to a fashion now because there’s only a small niche market for them. Just think of the vast areas given to charging stations the enormous queues for them etc. Green activists are dishonest – or perhaps they are mostly just idiots: they will of course oppose the huge increase in mining and industrialisation of the countryside that will be required to quadruple the necessary electrification. But as this mining and refining (an incredibly dirty, highly polluting and energy hungry process,) is taking place in Africa, Russia, South America mainly and battery manufacture (another incredibly dirty, highly polluting and energy hungry process or series of processes,) is centred in China, India, and other places where enforcement of United Nations climate accord pledges is lax to say the least, we cant expect things to change any time soon.
