    Thought this was very insightful. Points out that the psychotic official narratives of totalitarian regimes and cults are often internally inconsistent, illogical, and just plain ridiculous, but [to quote]:

    This does not weaken them, as one might suspect. Actually, it increases their power, as it forces their adherents to attempt to reconcile their inconsistencies and irrationality…. Such reconciliation is of course impossible, and causes the cult members’ minds to short circuit and abandon any semblance of critical thinking….

    Moreover, cult leaders [And public health officials?] will often radically change these narratives for no apparent reason, forcing their cult members to abruptly forswear… beliefs they had previously been forced to profess… which causes their minds to further short circuit, until they eventually give up even trying to think, and just mindlessly parrot whatever nonsensical gibberish the cult leader fills their heads with….

    Most people cannot see that it is happening, for the simple reason that it is happening to them….

    This is what totalitarians and cult leaders count on, and exploit to implant their narratives in our minds, and why actual initiation rituals… begin by attacking the subject’s mind with terror, pain, physical exhaustion… or some other means of obliterating the subject’s perception of reality. Once that is achieved… it is relatively easy to ‘guide’ that process, and to implant whatever narrative you want….

    And this is why so many people… cannot perceive the totalitarianism that is taking shape now, right in front of their faces (or, rather, right inside their minds). Nor can they perceive the delusional nature of the official ‘Covid-19’ narrative.

    • For many years I was an art teacher. I’d set up a huge still life
      in the middle of the room and let the kids work from it for
      several days. The following project would involve the same
      still life, but I’d have the kids change seats AND I would move
      the light source. The object being, in addition to honing their
      observation and drawing skills, to witness and experience
      the dramatic changes possible in the same still life when seen
      from a different perspectives and angles, and, the dramatic
      changes lighting makes in composition as well as life.
      I’ve known the “facts” of your comments today
      like I knew the parts of those still life set ups, and over the
      years I’ve been moving my seat, always seeking a different
      perspective on these components that might allow me to
      “get the picture”, and might even include me, help me own it
      as Dr. F says. It just never worked.
      But your comments today didn’t just move the light, it
      turned on all the over heads and raised the blinds!
      Suddenly I felt the truth of all intentional misleading and
      deception. That they play with our Human
      Nature, count on the fact we want to “believe” so strongly
      we will cram things together in our heads to align with our
      hearts, however impossibly , just to make it into something
      that has our finger prints on it, something that we’ve helped
      form, that is ours. Probably shouldn’t speak for
      more than myself, but I certainly knew I had no part in it,
      I just didn’t see why. Us being a part of anything, having any
      true ownership was never the objective. Thank you FiatLux!

      • Wow, thank you for your kind words, Linda. I’m very pleased you found the article enlightening. I certainly can’t take credit for the insights; the article’s author gets the credit for those. I was just passing them on. 🙂

    • This is asymmetrical warfare against the population, so the response must take this into account. The answer is probably in the same classics “they” are inspired by such as Bernays and others.

      • Sounds about right to me. Funny enough, I bought Bernays’s classic Propaganda several months ago. I’d have been through it by now if I didn’t have so many unread books waiting in the queue. I think I’ll move Bernays closer to the top of the pile.
