On The Use Of Fear As A Government Tactic

Perhaps a public debate on governmental lying and manipulation through the purveying of fear is about to begin. God willing, it will. I raise this hope because of a remarkable article that appeared in the Daily Telegraph (UK). Excerpts follow. No comment seems required, except the obvious: This has been a Global phenomenon. Which means: coordinated. Use of fear to control behaviour in Covid crisis was ‘totalitarian’, admit scientists Members of Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Behaviour express regret about ‘unethical’ methods Scientists on a committee that encouraged the use of fear to control people’s behaviour during the Covid pandemic have admitted its work was “unethical” and “totalitarian”.

It worked on many... Those so cowed that they drive around alone, masked. It helped to create long lines when a vaccine shortage for a dangerous disease was being heralded in daily headlines. They put a wicked, wrinkled little dwarf on TV daily to translate the fear from recommendations to mandates. The governments are evil, the media is even worse. Now they are using a mild cold from darkest Africa with a science-fiction-like name. Too bad that the tactics are so blatant and obvious that to at least half of the population they are laughable, annoying but laughable. It does not help their narrative that the locations with the tightest lockdowns and vaccinated people are seeing the highest percentages of sickness. If the elites want to control us they had better improve their game.

Let's push some of that fear back at them. How about putting them in prison for a year or two for this unethical and totalitarian behaivor? THAT ought to put a bit of fear in THEM. I have not been afraid of this damned stuff. I am much more afraid of their dangerous mRNA shots than I am of the virus itself. I have some treatments for the virus and a pretty good immune system. Their damned genetic shots.....THAT is some really scary stuff and it made my warning meter flicker than eventually peg from the beginning. It NEVER seemed like a good idea.

It was obvious from the get-go that the politicians were trying to gin up panic and fear in order to herd the sheeple towards a desired goal, which is why when they started running around proclaiming that everyone should stay home, be safe, for the good of society, we're all in this together, blah blah blah, I gave them the finger and refused to participate, making a point to go somewhere every single day. If I had a dollar for every time I was told I was going to catch COVID and die, I could retire a wealthy man. Of course they're still trying to stoke panic, this time over the Omicron variation,but you can only cry wolf so many times before people wise up and tune you out, and i do believe we have crossed that line.

All of these self-important, manipulative b-st-rds need to hunted down, one by one or group by group and rooted out, by force if necessary and with extreme prejudice. They have purposely abused the powers and authorities entrusted to them to rip our freedoms and institutions to shreds, and accountability will not come if let to the bureaucratic will. They are stupid people who poorly understand the "science" they haughtily purport to represent, and may have done irreparable harm to the balance of the human-viral ecosystem by their egocentric manipulations. Reminds me of Bill Gates' plan to seed the atmosphere with dust to obscure the sun and effect climate change... WHAT?... as if they were God incarnate. Their hypocrisies and presumptuousness deserve no better. We are SICK to the core of them all.

This discussion about fear as a destructive tool is needed now that America's enemy is desperately trying to use fear to stifle our individual Rights of Liberty. America has always been about securing freedom for each & every individual. We dare not lose that vision now after so many courageous generations have fought and protected freedom.

The largest children’s hospital in Wisconsin has been struggling to care for patients in injured in the Waukesha Christmas parade attack on Nov. 21 in large part because of staffing shortages stemming from its COVID-19 vaccine mandate, multiple sources say. Eighteen children were brought to the Children’s Wisconsin Milwaukee Hospital with injuries suffered when a driver plowed into parade-goers (snip) Several remain in critical or serious condition, and an eight-year-old boy died of his injuries Tuesday. As of Monday morning, the hospital was still treating seven victims.(snip) when victims first started to be transported to the hospital, it did not have enough nurses or support staff to adequately handle

Border Domination: Experts

NEW DELHI—The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been building up a new kind of presence in the hotly disputed border region with India via a civilian resettlement strategy, according to Indian experts. The CCP’s “well-off society” strategy involves building well-off villages in the name of elevating people from poverty and revitalizing rural communities. Experts say, however, that these villages play an additional role in the Tibet Autonomous Region that shares thousands of miles of disputed border with India. They say the villages act as tools for the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) surveillance, border defense, and border domination, and, along with the the regime’s new land border law, are attempts at legitimizing the

As The Salvation Army launches its Red Kettle Campaign this holiday season, some of its long-time donors are withdrawing their support from the 156-year old charitable organization citing its newly embraced "woke" ideology as the reason. Of great concern to loyal supporters and faithful Salvationists is the initiative dubbed "Let's Talk About Racism." In a nutshell, its curriculum outlines the Christian church's alleged racial collusion and provides action steps to analyze and combat racism through an "anti-racist" lens while incorporating Critical Race Theory.(snip) why then should members of an organization built by the Christian faith to actually assist people of all races in need, be repentant of behavior

The newest variant of concern of the virus that causes COVID-19 causes unusual symptoms but those symptoms are mild, a top South African doctor says. Dr. Angelique Coetzee practices in Pretoria, the capital of South Africa, one of the countries where the Omicron CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus variant was first detected earlier this month. Coetzee recalled seeing a variety of patients enter with symptoms not associated with other CCP virus strains, including a high pulse rate. “Their symptoms were so different and so mild from those I had treated before,” (snip)Most of the patients who turned up to her clinic and have tested positive for COVID-19 felt tired.

We’ve all heard the line about winning the “hearts and minds” of the population being the key to winning a war. Over the past several generations the Left has been busy doing exactly that. They’re organized and they’ve taken over virtually every societal institution that has the ability to influence hearts and minds—especially government run education at every level. They’ve also taken over far too much of the government and, when they have the ability, they use government money—your money—to fund themselves through myriad “community action” organizations. They’ve largely taken control over the permanent government bureaucracy, thanks to decades old court rulings that ban “religious” tests—or, in effect, common decency

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) ambitions of keeping the Democrat majority in the House of Representatives past the midterm elections next year are dwindling as droves of vulnerable Democrats have announced they are leaving their current seats to either retire or seek a different office instead of fighting in a brutal reelection.

I suggested last week that negative stories about Kamala Harris that ran on CNN and over at Politico were surely planted by the Biden political staff at the White House, but I’m not sure whether the same can be said about today’s much more savage story in The Telegraph: “With Kamala Harris looking unelectable, the Democrats are considering the nuclear option.” Unlike the Daily Mail, which sensationalizes news from the U.S. in tabloid style—though it must be said that it is often reporting stories the U.S. mainstream media avoids—The Telegraph is a staid broadsheet. Thus, some of the content of this story is all the more astounding for the panic

Gov. Charlie Baker expects a state-sanctioned COVID-19 vaccination passport program to be implemented in Massachusetts and several other states soon. During an appearance on GBH News' Boston Public Radio, Baker said a scannable quick response code, commonly known as a QR code, would show a person's vaccination status and be made available for others to scan and verify. "It's a universal standard and we've been working with a bunch of other states, there's probably 15 or 20 of them, to try to create a single QR code that can be used for all sorts of things where people may choose to require a vaccine," Baker said

President Joe Biden on Monday urged Americans to get vaccinated or get their booster shots amid warnings about the spread of the Omicron variant–but insisted that the infectious new variant was not a cause for 'panic' and said no new restrictions were needed. 'We'll fight this variant with scientific and knowledgeable actions and speed, not chaos and confusion,' Biden said at the White House. But even amid the pressing nature of the new variant, Biden misstated the name of the variant. 'It's called the Omnicron,' he said, inserting an extra 'n'–an error his coronavirus advisor, Dr. Anthony Fauci, who was standing in the background, also committed.

There are significant policy-related differences between men and women. And it is likely in our best interest as police officers to capitalize on the differences and use them to our advantage. While on the other side, if the differences cause challenges, change our method of training to accommodate the differences. A video that we’ve received today shows why male and female cops should work together! Officials say Forsberg found 21-year-old Ari Young outside the home, and he became combative with her. Cellphone video shot from within a home on Cabazon Court begins as the man identified as Young is slugging Forsberg in the head.
