The Government has weaponized fear, and guess who their targets have been?

BY SIMONE J. SMITH

By layering confusion and uncertainty on top of fear, you can bring an individual to a state in which they can no longer think rationally. Once driven into an illogical state, they are easily manipulated. I have no doubt driving people into a state where logic and reason no longer registers is the whole point behind much of the conflicting information we’re given. Dr. Peter Breggin

Did you know that fear is contagious?

Yes, we humans were created with chemicals that can actually trigger a social response in each other. This excreted chemical factor is called pheromones. Pheromones are chemicals capable of acting like hormones outside of the body of the secreting individual, to impact the behaviour of the receiving individuals.

People may actually communicate through body odour. We can literally pass stress on to others. Emotional contagion is a real thing. This is what happens when you are being influenced by the emotions of people around you.

Why does this matter Simone?

Well, for the last year and a half, governments around the world (with few exceptions) have been purposely creating an environment of fear for their citizens. From the very beginning of this pandemic, you couldn’t turn on the television without facing ticker tape detailing the number of hospitalizations and deaths.

As a journalist, what I always found interesting was the fact that for stations that claim to be unbiased sources of information, they did not provide balanced coverage of the pandemic. For some reason, it was always bad news. We never heard about the 90+ per cent of the global population who actually recovered from the virus. We didn’t hear about the so-called COVID-19 cases that were not actually cases because these people did not have any symptoms at all. If they were mentioned, these people were called “asymptomatic,” which meant that we had to be AFRAID of people who were not showing any signs of sickness.

Stations like CNN, Global News, BBC all refused to put any of the data into context, such as reviewing whether the death toll actually differed significantly from previous years. No. What they did instead was use catastrophism, making each and every case a state of emergency, again instilling fear in anyone watching.

It is no wonder we have people walking around outside, or driving in a car by themselves with masks on. We are all living in a state of fear that has been beautifully orchestrated by the group of people who were put in power to protect us, our government.

Governments are using fear to control and manipulate their citizens, and this is not a new phenomenon. Most recently, members of the Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Behaviour (SPI-B) admitted it. They are a subcommittee that advises the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) in the U.K. They have now retracted their initial involvement, and are saying that they made a horrible mistake.

In the newly released book, “A State of Fear: How the UK Government Weaponised Fear During the Covid-19 Pandemic,” written by Laura Dodsworth several of the SPI-B members actually spoke out.

“‘In March [2020] the Government was very worried about compliance and they thought people wouldn’t want to be locked down. There were discussions about fear being needed to encourage compliance, and decisions were made about how to ramp up the fear. The way we have used fear is dystopian.

The use of fear has definitely been ethically questionable. It’s been like a weird experiment. Ultimately, it backfired because people became too scared’ …”

Another member of SPI-B said they were ‘stunned by the weaponization of behavioral psychology’ during the pandemic, and that ‘psychologists didn’t seem to notice when it stopped being altruistic and became manipulative.

“They have too much power and it intoxicates them.”

Yes readers, many of us have been under psychological control, and we had no idea that it was happening to us. I don’t want you to be hard on yourself; it is important that you take the time to come to terms with what has been going on. I am going to introduce another aspect of psychological control, and that is keeping people in a state of confusion.

Premier Ford has used this control device so many times; I don’t even know where to begin. Let’s take the holidays. First, family Christmas was on, then off, then back on, then off again. Then we found out that he had vacationed with his family when he said that we couldn’t go to cottages. Then they told us not to fly anywhere for the holidays, and we found out that members of the government had gone away for vacation, yet nothing was said to them.

When you create a state of confusion, people become ever more reliant on the messaging. Instead of feeling confident about making decisions, they end up waiting for instructions from the Government, and that is exactly what happened to most of us right here in Canada.

THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!

The fear that you are feeling has been carefully manufactured. We can free ourselves from this control device by no longer believing everything that is fed to you by mainstream media. If we start taking back our power, the engine that drives this fear will dry up. WE just have to stop feeding into it.

Knowledge, my friends, is power.
