And "trusted messengers in the 'community'" such as church leaders, too. The U.N. among other agencies, had whole programs on that during the Covid Operation. The 'hierarchy' of the church I belonged to carried that out in lockstep to the agenda, and it caused me to defect from that religious organization that I had been a 'true believer' in since childhood, and then a bit further down the timeline, to FULLY discover what a fraudulent wolves-in-sheep's-clothing dark operation it truly had been all along. It caused a major life paradigm shift.

The brilliant governor of New York State spoke at a church and urged parishioners and the public to be injected for the sake of Jesus. I kid you not, the recording can likely be found at YouTube assuming it has not been expunged.

Interestingly, she exhorts us with regard to what we "MUST" do in our relationship with God -- thereby, it seems to me, placing herself in a position of authority above God Himself.

You mention, quite rightly, the "no show" of the British Psychological Society. To that must be added the outright betrayal of all ethics by the medical profession, globally. This was orchestrated simultaneously & successfully across the world to frighten doctors into submission. As a retired GP, I have little but contempt for most of my former colleagues. But they, too, were victims of mind control - though if enough had spoken out the whole thing would have collapsed. To this day the rabid persecution of dissenting doctors continues which, to me, suggests that "they" plan to use this tactic again.

David A. Hughes's avatar

Yes, absolutely.

Elsewhere in my work, I have commented on the failure of all our major institutions - psychology, medicine, academia, the law, the churches, the trade unions, etc. As in Nazi Germany, they all bowed to state power, even though that power was being deployed for wicked purposes. Unfortunately, the Nazi past has some real lessons to teach here.

Also the failure of “the Left” who actively and censorially supported the narrative. Their skepticism about Capitalist institutions featured full on exemption for the medical cartel.

David A. Hughes's avatar

Yes. With very few exceptions, the Left cheered on the "lockdowns." It was a catastrophic failure.

I was proud to be a rebellious leftie where Big Pharma were concerned. All my prior experience had told me never to trust such an institution. How surprising AND how sad that so many selfish individuals / organisations placed their own personal survival before what should have been a clear capability to spot that they were being psychologically manipulated / duped. NEVER again.

David, in Australia in 2021 the Behavioural Economics Team of the Australian Government said: "Providing vaccinated people with personal freedoms, and restricting the freedoms of those who aren't, is likely to drive vaccine uptake."

And so it came to pass...unvaccinated people in Australia were indeed punished by having their freedoms restricted... Politicians and bureaucrats in Australia betrayed the Australian people with this travesty.

I'm now seeking public access to the BETA report that led on this treachery, see my FOI Request: https://vaccinationispolitical.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/foi-request-for-a-beta-report-recommending-restricting-the-freedoms-of-unvaccinated-people.pdf

Also featured in my article: ‘Restrict the freedoms of the unvaccinated’ Where is the BETA report that called for this treachery? https://elizabethhart.substack.com/p/restrict-the-freedoms-of-the-unvaccinated

Great work, Elizabeth.

Gary Sidley has been doing similar work here in the UK.

It is important to know the origins of these policies. I am particularly interested in the handful of unnamed people on the SAGE reports. My guess is that they are British intelligence and that they were the ones really running things.

As for restricting freedoms, I will get into some of that in Part 2, on Incentives, which will be out tomorrow.

David, re SAGE, see my BMJ rapid response published in November 2020: Who are the members of SAGE? There must be transparency and accountability for coronavirus policy. https://www.bmj.com/content/371/bmj.m4235/rr-1

Subsequently in December 2020, The BMJ published this article: Covid-19: SAGE members' interests published by government 10 months into pandemic: https://www.bmj.com/content/371/bmj.m4911

The link to the SAGE covid-19 register of participants' interests included in the footnotes of that article is now broken, it can now be accessed via this link: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-sage-register-of-participants-interests/sage-covid-19-register-of-participants-interests

Great stuff, Elizabeth.

I have added an extra paragraph, including all three sources, into my chapter.

Please don't use Peter McCullough as an example of weaponized propaganda. Yes, at the beginning of the "pandemic" he was a prominent member of the medical establishment. But he pioneered early treatment protocols, which threatened the plan for vaccines. He paid a steep price, losing his job and board certification. He has gradually become radicalized, and is now one of our most important and knowledgeable allies. Listen to his testimony in Ron Johnson's Senate hearings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8se3KE0b-0&t=10400s

David A. Hughes's avatar

I have deleted that paragraph.

I have my doubts about McCullough, but there is no point in getting side-tracked by mainstream alternative opposition when the point is to critique the government's abuse of applied behavioural psychology.

I suggest you add references to Edward Bernays, who invented the techniques you're talking about as far back as the 1920s.

You can read Mark Crispin Miller's introduction here: https://archive.org/details/propaganda-edward-l.-bernays

David A. Hughes's avatar

Yes, the "conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses" is surely relevant.

One of Bernays early campaigns was convincing US women to take up cigarette smoking as a step towards liberation. Bernays was a nephew of Sigmund Freud, by the way.

David A. Hughes's avatar

Yes, and he also managed to improve piano sales by making fashionable the concept of a music room in one's house.

A cunning chap!

The cv episode reminded me of World War I. In that conflict the full might of scientific/industrial technique -- as it existed at the time -- was unleashed on the battlefield, resulting in a huge number of casualties. Nothing like that had ever been seen before: the combination of machine guns, heavy artillery, poison gas, tanks, airplanes, U-boats, and so on. It was deeply shocking to many, even those not on the front lines. Those boys were simply slaughtered. I think I remember seeing a movie once (Life and Nothing But) where one of the characters calculated that if a column of soldiers marched continuously through the Arc de Triomphe it would take 11 days for the three million plus French casualties to pass through it.

So nowadays we see additional technological weapons being deployed, but it's much worse than ever before. In the first place the targets represent members of the main body of the population (heretofore not considered combatants). Second the gov'ts are targeting their own citizens in the onslaught. And third the weapons being used are not only novel, but very powerful, and represent an area of science and technology that most people aren't familiar with: namely, psychology, biology, and their associated derived weapons. So for the most part the people have no defense, and the number of casualties is correspondingly all the greater, exceeding, no doubt, the totals put up in prior wars, even WWI and WWII.

I remember when I was in college (I went to college); more than half the class was pre-med, as they thought becoming doctors would represent an escape from the evils of the military-industrial complex. Quite a few of the others were psychology majors and presumably thought they could improve the quality of human life by studying the workings of the human brain and later find work in education or some such related field. But from my perspective now, it seems there is no escape from a world dominated by sin: most doctors being nowadays slaves of the system intent on reducing the population to manageable and sustainable levels (in other words, killing most of us).

David A. Hughes's avatar

You touch on some important points, John.

Ever advancing technological development means, as you say, that WWIII will prove more destructive, and manifest even worse horrors, than the two previous world wars.

That is why the nature of the war needs to be made clear, and those behind it stopped before it is too late.

And people struggle to believe the the original colonisers and monarchy powers we fought against in developing this nation are not using advanced techniques for the same old goals?

David A. Hughes's avatar

Yes, the techniques become more "sophisticated," but the goal remains the same, i.e., social control.

Can't say this often enough! The Military/Industrial Complex and the Biowarfare/industrial Complex, WEF agenda and the evils assaulting humanity are from one and the same source - it is the 99% against the diabolical GREED of the 0.01% who should not be in charge of anything and yes, The City of London/Pilgrim Society is among THEM!

Divide and rule! Agents provocateurs anyone, FALSE FLAGS, propaganda social engineering psyops? Keeping us proles at each others' throats while the globalist technocrat predators laugh all the way to the BIS and The Bank of Rothschild's!

ALL WARS ARE BANKSTER WARS! BURN BACK BETTER!

The monsters in human skin suits who rule the world get a sadistic vampiric thrill and boost from perpetrating the vilest most demonic crimes against the most vulnerable (babies and small children) and then corrupting the system to get away with it scot free! We the People must stop them, there are a lot more of us than them!

This horrifying Gates, Governor 'Gruesome Newscum', 'Lone Scum', Soros, 'Benedict' Biden and Harris and even Trump, Vance, and 'Ramaswampy' et al are blatant fully owned and operated puppets of their globalist technocrat parasite masters same as other numerous 'PUBLIC SERPENTS' infesting by design from above, the bureaucratic apparatus.

MISTAKES WERE NOT MADE! THEY can't get rid of the 'useless eaters' fast enough!

Peddling pure poison! Folks have to wake up to reality: health comes from organic diet, daily exercise and clean living and never from a needle or a pill except in dire, rare traumatic injuries.

It was NEVER about health! The Powers That Should Not Be were ALWAYS about they want you DEAD or a SLAVE! This is a painful truth to accept but we the people must wake up and fight back! And Directed Energy Weapons and toxic injections/pills were/are a huge part of their arsenal!

Proudly ANTI-VAXX! Reiterating for the sake of newbies and to support this post.

Ban all vaccine jabs! There has never been a 'safe and effective' vaccine since Edward Jenner's fraud over 200 years ago as per 'Dissolving Illusions' by Suzanne Humphries and 'Turtles All the Way Down' by Anonymous. Health can never come from a needle or pills, but from healthy eating, healthy exercise and healthy living! virustruth.net

CREATIVITY! ARTISTRY! IMAGINATION! SPIRITUALITY! HUMOR! LOVING KINDNESS! These are the best ways to fight THEM!

I also have a landline, a wired laptop and a wired monitor screen, and I never had or will have those infernal mobile devices designed to enslave you. I also use cash as much as possible, no cash is TOTAL SLAVERY.

It is heartbreaking to witness the holocausts happening and so many fellow citizens are brainwashed/bamboozled by the propaganda media, they are oblivious!

JAB INJURIES: GROSS CALAMARI BLOOD CLOTS/AUTISM TSUNAMI/SADS/TURBO CANCER/BIZARRE TERMINAL ILLNESSES: More tragic victims of the ruling parasite genocidal enslavement agenda, sacrificed on the altar of psychopathic greed and hatred of humanity.

And BIG pHARMa is an arsenal making permanently sickly addicted slaves dependent on their products - the complete opposite of actual health.

Can't say this often enough!

SCREW THE HYPOCHONDRIA GERMAPHOBIC FEAR HYSTERIA! DO NOT CONSENT! Avian flu is for the birds! RESIST!

KEEP FIGHTING! All the perps who pushed this greatest crime against humanity, all the way down to the local level, must get their comeuppances!

HELL NO TO STARGATE! HELL NO TO DEEPSEEK! HELL NO TO AI! technocracy.news

Life everywhere is being assaulted by THE TECHNOCRATIC OMNIWAR! RESIST! DO NOT CONSENT TO ALL THINGS DIGITAL, 'SMART', AI, 5G, NO CASH - ALL OF IT! dhughes.substack.com Technocrat ruling class psychos get a sadistic thrill from their powers over life and death and hurting all who stand in their way and they need the resources worldwide to build their digital total slavery control grids (herd survivors into 15 minute city digital prisons)!

AI is designed to be anti-human/anti-life programmed by technocrat control freak psychos - garbage in = garbage out. Everyone got along just fine without all these absurd and downright satanic electronic gadgets that did not exist until recently. NOBODY NEEDS THIS AI CRAP!

PSYCHOPATHS! MEGALOMANIACS!

Bless and thank you for doing what you do.
