Forget The Transition To Renewables - The Elites Are Gaslighting Whole World

 

 

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.

Why Are Government Psyop Experts And Propagandists Distancing Themselves From Behavioural Science?

 from HartUK substack, 9 March 2024

The state’s reliance on behavioural science strategies – ‘nudges’ – to facilitate the public’s compliance with covid restrictions has been widely documented. The many psychologists and behavioural scientists advising the government during the covid event (such as those in the SAGE subgroup, SPI-B, and the Behavioural Insight Team, BIT ) have, reasonably, been assumed to hold a significant degree of responsibility for using these methods of persuasion in communication campaigns.

Intriguingly, however, several prominent psychological specialists within these advisory groups have attempted to distance themselves from involvement in nudging, not only from the specific use of fear inflation but also – more recently – from being associated with all forms of this type of furtive persuasion. So what is the evidence that the state’s psychological experts are denying responsibility for the deployment of behavioural science strategies, and what could be motivating these claims?

Contrary to the evidence of the published outputs of the SPI-B and BIT, a series of behavioural experts have claimed zero responsibility for scaring people (the ‘affect’ nudge) into compliance with the covid-19 restrictions and subsequent vaccine rollout. In March 2022, Professor Ann John (a SPI-B co-chair) told a Government’s Science & Technology Committee:

‘We never advised on upping the level of fear. I think it was presented as part of the evidence base… we absolutely advised that fear does not work’.  

In March 2023, four members of the SPI-B (Professors Reicher, Michie, Drury, and West) wrote an opinion piece for the British Medical Journal in which they claimed that politicians, not they, were responsible for fear inflation during the covid event .... Continue reading (long article) >>>

Psychologists say Government nudge unit ‘used grossly unethical tactics to scare public into Covid compliance’

The UK government's creation of a 'nudge' unit with the aim of persuading dissenters to comply with government directives, get vaccinated and accept endless 'booster' shots was always controversial because of it's similarities with the way tyrannical regimes in communist China, The Soviet Union, National Socialist Germany and fascist Italy used propaganda combined with coercive measures and strongarm tactics to enforce policy. Now Members of Parliament are demanding an investigation into  the unit's activities  launch investigation after a group of 40 clinical and academic psychologists published a letter criticizing the Behavioural Insights Team, as it is officially known, for its use of totalitarian tactics of ‘deploying fear, shame and scapegoating’ during pandemic 

The psychologists also denounced the way “images of the acutely unwell in intensive care units” were used on billboard and television adverts without any reference to the very high percentage of COVID patients who experience only mild symptoms and the nine out of ten who tested positive and had no symptoms at all. Also targeted for criticism was what the “macabre mono focus on showing the number of Covid-19 deaths without mention of high survival rate of those hospitalised with COVID, mortality from other causes  9people who died 'with' COVID rather than of COVID, or the fact that, under normal circumstances, around 1,600 people die each day in the UK”.

The use of 'images of the acutely unwell in intensive care units' on billboards was condemned in the letter: Credit: Dominic Lipinski/PA Wire

The signatories said it was “highly questionable whether a civilised society  should knowingly increase the emotional discomfort of its citizens as a means of gaining their compliance”.

The letter added: “Government scientists deploying fear, shame and scapegoating to change minds is an ethically dubious practice that in some respects resembles the tactics used by totalitarian regimes such as China, where the state inflicts pain on a subset of its population in an attempt to eliminate beliefs and behaviour they perceive to be deviant.”

The Government’s first “nudge unit” was established in the Cabinet Office in 2010 with the aim of applying behavioural science principles to public policy.  since then it has been used to encourage the public to pay their taxes, turn up in court and donate their organs when they die amongst other things.

Since its inception, like all governmental bureaucracies it has expanded into several quasi - autonomous units, the one involved in pandemic propaganda being devoted to public health matters.
 
Little is actually  known about how these “behavioural insights teams” operate, but like many government functions their work has been outsourced to service providers in the private sector, in the case of 'nudging' to influence public opinion to Public Relations companies which by definition are involved in the business of distorting information and misrepresenting facts.

Public Health England Behavioural Insights (PHEBI) describes itself as a team of behavioural scientists, including experts in behavioural economics, health psychology and evaluation, who work across PHE with local authorities and other relevant stakeholders to advise on policy and practice and apply and evaluate the evidence of behavioural science in public health. Which translates from the bullshit language of the public relations business to the science of telling lies in plain English.

The idea of 'nudging' is that instead of threatening people with laws and regulations, government can persuade people to change their behaviour through a constant stream of small, clever prompts. The techniques claimed successes include persuading homeowners to insulate their lofts, as well as changing the wording on HM Revenue and Customs letters, changing the tone from direct threats to  pseudo moralistic terms designed to generate guilt and thus ensure people pay their tax on time.

The method is controversial for many reasons, not least that it has its roots in some extremely unpleasant political philosophies, but little is known about exactly how it works, with some critics dismissing the unit as “simply a gimmick”.

Simon Ruda, a behavioural scientist, said there is a role for behavioural insight teams in driving improvements in public policy.

However in an article published by the news and comment website Unherd about the unit’s role during the pandemic, he said: “Nudging made subtle state influence palatable, but mixed with a state of emergency, have we inadvertently sanctioned state propaganda.”

It is beyond doubt that the unit was used in collaboration with The BBC and other broadcast and print news organisations by government to encourage compliance with coronavirus regulations during the pandemic. It is also becoming clear that those measures, which included lockdowns, social distancing regulations, mask mandates and the threats and coercive measures (for example vaccine passports) introduced by decree to avoid scrutiny by our elected representatives have failed as many of us involved in alt_news online who could be bothered to carry out impartial analysis predicted they would.

Let#s look at some of the fearmongering work of the nudge unit: One advert showed a close-up photo of an intensive care patient in a mask, with the caption: “Look her in the eyes and tell her you never bend the rules.”

Another said: “Look him in the eyes and tell him you always keep a safe distance”.

Actually these clumsy, heavy handed attempts to guilt trip habitual sceptics largely backfired, while respondents to opinion polls and participants in television or radio vox pop slots were cherry picked to give the impression that the public, by a huge majority, were supportive of government measures the reality in the streets was that most people were angry at the loss of freedom and damage to their lifestyles, their own experience was that few people they knew had been seriously ill with COVID and of those few the majority had been very old or had had pre - existing conditions which resulted in their auto - immune system being compromised. 

The letter drew attention to a government memo from March 2020, which suggested that “the perceived level of personal threat needs to be increased among those who are complacent” and called for more frightening messaging. If that is not evidence that the whole thing was a massive deception, a propaganda exercise from day one, a smoking gun next to a fresh corpse with a bullet in its head is not evidence of murder

Even mainstream media, until recently unfailingly loyal to the government narrative, are reporting that Parliament’s Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee will investigate the use of the behavioural insights team as part of its investigation into the Government’s activities during the pandemic. It will coincide with the second anniversary of the first lockdown. William Wragg MP, the committee’s chairman, said: “I think the central issue is how ‘nudge’ sits within parliamentary democracy and ministerial accountability.

“Normally, it's quite straightforward to know where lines of accountability are between the law, parliamentarians scrutinising the law and the public following it. And this is a wider question of how much, in a parliamentary democracy, sits outside of that approach.”

The psychologists also warned that “scare ads” have had unintended consequences.

“Shaming and scapegoating have emboldened some people to harass those unable or unwilling to wear a face covering,” they wrote.

“More disturbingly, the inflated fear levels will have significantly contributed to the many thousands of excess non-Covid deaths that have occurred in people’s homes, the strategically-increased anxieties discouraging many from seeking help for other illnesses.”

A damning conclusion, and though this site is not a fan of psychology in this case our own observations and investigations leave us no alternative than to agree. Propaganda is never to be welcomed, its purpose is to spread false information and deflect attention from the truth, and the propaganda we have seen throughout the pandemic is of the most unpleasant kind usually favoured by tyrannical regimes. It has no place in a democratic nation that values human rights and personal liberty.

The basis of mass mind control

They're getting inside your brain (Image source)

Mass mind control focuses on two elements: image and feeling. By linking the two primary elements, it is possible to short-circuit thought and “cut to the chase,” when it comes to enlisting the allegiance of huge populations.

The idea of a scientific dictatorship and the use of pseudosciences such as psychology and public relations to influence the way entire populations think is not new of course. Only recently however have digital technologies made easy the levels of information control needed to totally regulate the thoughts of masses of people.

George Orwell foresaw it in his novel 1984, written in 1948 but the internet was decades away then.
