I support your work and think you have a very sobering and important assessment of the situation CJ. I would also like to add something to that discussion, which might be of interest.

After hearing about the use of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and “Nudge Theory” to craft the messaging, which is what gives it a spell-like quality, I decided to look more into it. Interestingly, the first book on Neuro Linguistic Programming is called The Structure of Magic. I read it closely. It has chapters like “Becoming a Sorcerer’s Apprentice” and “The Final Incantation.”

Having read it and done some research, it has become clear that one of the things that needs to be made more transparent for people is exactly how the messaging works. Why? Because it has a very definite structure, it’s formulaic. They are using NLP and Nudge Theory.

These techniques are meant to target what the social engineers refer to as “automatic motivations” ie unconscious processes. There is a discussion document going through this, put out by the UK Cabinet Office a while ago. It’s called “MindSpace.”

The messages are designed to trigger certain basic responses which people don’t need to consciously think about. This has always been around, but the difference is that now a new kind of precision is being applied, which is why it’s been so effective and has a spell-like quality. Things are “framed” and “re-framed” in certain ways such that it’s not just words or seemingly dumb-down propagandistic language, it’s meant to not only trigger certain “automatic systems,” but to guide them, to direct them.

However, these techniques only work if people are not consciously aware of them. But they have a definite structure, and once that structure is known, the “spells” essentially lose their power ie the “incantations” can’t work if you’re consciously aware that someone is giving you the incantation. But as long as we can’t put a name on these things, they’ll continue to have a strong hypnotic power over people, our friends, family, etc.

My contention is that by knowing how these “incantations” are crafted, the spell disappears. So I wrote an article that does a deep dive into the “structure” of this magic.

My contention is that knowing how exactly the spells are designed is the key to breaking them on a larger scale. Trying to have a rational discussion with someone still under the spell is usually not a very successful experience. So far, switching the discussion to how the spells work has gotten some interesting results.

I just got a piece published which goes through these techniques in detail.

Danke schön for another searing salvo for sanity and liberty, CJ.

In “The Psychology of Revolution,” Gustave Le Bon reveals one secret for eroding pathologized totalitarianism:

“The importance of the event [the storming of the Bastille] lay simply in the psychological fact that for the first time the people received an obvious proof of the weakness of an authority which had lately been formidable.

“When the principle of authority is injured in the public mind it dissolves very rapidly. What might not one demand of a king who could not defend his principal fortress against popular attacks? The master regarded as all-powerful had ceased to be so.

“The taking of the Bastille was the beginning of one of those phenomena of mental contagion which abound in the history of the Revolution. The foreign mercenary troops, although they could scarcely be interested in the movement, began to show symptoms of mutiny.”

We are beginning to see this erosion play out as We the People erupt in protests around the world. GloboCap thinks it can blot out these volcanic explosions by not reporting on them, but the people are awakening, and once we hit a critical mass, no one can stop the tsunami from swallowing the totalitarians.

As I warn in “Letter to a Tyrant” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-a-tyrant):

“You are shaking the hive. Prepare for the swarm.

“The more you crack down, the greater the whiplash.”
