Weaponized psychology has become a thing we’ve all had to come to terms with in the past few years, as the tools of propaganda have infiltrated every aspect of our daily lives. Unfortunately for us, most of us have been through this loop a few times now, so consequently most of us have become quite aware of some of the weaponized psychological tactics being used against us. Take nudging, for example. “Nudge means covert psychological manipulation of thought,” explained Dr. John Campbell as he and Ros Nealon-Cook sat talking about the Covid psychological manipulations on a recent podcast. (“COVID Psychological Manipulation: Unpacked”). Ros Nealon-Cook is an Australian Psychologist who had her license suspended for sounding the alarm regarding the harmful policies during the pandemic. Sadly, we have all felt these covert nudges since we first turned on a TV set or opened a magazine. From Clinton’s ‘WAR ON CRIME’ to Trump’s ‘DRAIN THE SWAMP’, we have all witnessed first-hand the use of nudging in politics. Subtle and not-so-subtle nudges used intentionally in order to get folks to go along with whatever their hearts (or pocketbooks) desire. For example, former president Bill Clinton’s constant campaign nudges regarding the prevalence and impact of ‘crime upon society’ allowed him to double the US prison population during his presidency. Which of course put billions of dollars into private prison contractor hands. “People think they’re immune, Oh, I’ll never fall for marketing, I’ll never fall for advertising and nudges, people think they are too smart.” (“COVID Psychological Manipulation: Unpacked”) And yet, scarily enough, Nudge Units actually exist, from Silicon Valley, to gambling and marketing firms, to political campaign, to you name it, there are entire groups of people dedicated to providing certain folks with very specific nudges and micronudges.
All of them aimed at the back of our brain, the same part of our brain which makes 95% of our decisions, our unconscious decisions, our primal drivers. Ironically, formal education mostly trains the prefrontal brain, an area which kind of takes a nap whenever we go into fight or flight. This is because the prefrontal brain is responsible for our higher learning. So, we focus on it to determine if someone is smart or not. And yet, the prefrontal brain shuts down, or at least loses a significant amount of power, whenever we are in high states of stress. This is because the energy normally taken up by the prefrontal brain is suddenly redirected to our extremities – so that we can actually fight or take flight. Of course, the people designing these nudges know all of this, as they employ top psychology graduates from around the world. And these brainiacs seem to have no problem manipulating situations whereby they can essentially shut down people’s rational thinking, by intentionally putting them into prolonged states of heightened alert. The red screens, the flashing messages, the dire warnings that provoke images of worst-case scenarios – precede well-crafted nudges –programmed nudges – that came just as families were being further divided into thought camps. Suddenly the pandemic thrust us all into fight or flight and then bombarded us with just one option – to trust their science – without full disclosure or consent. Again, and again, we were pushed information about this horrible crisis and then nudged over and over again to simply man up, get the shot, save everyone, be a hero. How many people got the MRNA experimental shots as a result of these nudges, these weaponized influences which we didn’t have a prayer in recognizing back then? And how many people have suffered serious health problems as a result? I personally know several. During Covid, nudges included watching the effects of disciplinary actions taken against anyone who felt uneasy trusting unverified and seemingly unquestioned science. Seeing other people lose their jobs and being entirely ostracized from their communities just for speaking out about a subject that is literally built upon questioning everything and everyone nudged anyone sitting on the fence into staying quiet. “You can save your family if you take this shot!” Instantly we were all on high alert. We were thinking with our primal brain, and we were presented with a solution that backed up all of those nudges and micronudges we were constantly bombarded with all day long, from every corner of our communications. We could save everyone’s life, even our own, if we would just do this one thing. So long as we don’t question it and we don’t speak negatively about it. Sadly, the nudges have not stopped, nor has the supply of bad science and questionable activities stopped, such as Elon Musk’s contract with US Intelligence to build a bunch of spy satellites (Roulette and Taylor). Elon Musk’s entire X Corp is built upon nudges, and his Neuralink company could potentially drop them straight into your brain, no consent required. Thanks to the weaponization of nudges, we all must stop and question everything, from now to the end of time. Especially with the new social credit system coming onboard. “We all live so much in a virtual world, in consequence of our purchasing habits and modes of electronically mediated communications, that our very selves have become reducible, to a frightening degree, to data, the modern day equivalent to our footprint, making up so much of our identity. An identity which can be, and is, increasingly bought and sold by the invisible corporate brokers that still mostly use it to sell us what we so desperately and carelessly and conveniently want, but can also be used to track, monitor, and punish everything we do and say. Behavioral scientists facilitate this process with their reprehensible nudging, the practice of pushing a given ideologically determined direction by manipulating invisible incentives behind the scene.” (“WATCH: Jordan Peterson’s Full Testimony before Congress”) Like nudging, group psychology has become a subject we all must learn about in detail. Because like nudging, group psychology is becoming a tool for those who would control the masses. “Groups that prioritize their group identity and behave coldly toward “outsiders” may be more likely to fall victim to groupthink.” (Psychology Today) Group psychology is important to understand if you need people to do things they wouldn’t normally do. “Even in minor cases, groupthink triggers decisions that aren’t ideal or that ignore critical information. In highly consequential domains—like politics or the military—groupthink can have much worse consequences, leading groups to ignore ethics or morals, prioritize one specific goal while ignoring countless collateral consequences, or, at worst, instigate death and destruction.” (Psychology Today) Oddly enough, group psychology also explains the out-of-the-gate whistle blowers. The ones who were early on screaming about facts not matching the public narrative. As it turns out, it was the insecurely attached group who were screaming from the rafters, when suddenly governments were telling us all to ignore some pretty basic things like informed consent and full disclosure. This is because the folks who formed insecure attachments with their primary caregivers in childhood typically transferred this same insecure attachment style to their government when they grew up. This made it easier for insecurely attached folks to notice things weren’t adding up pretty early on. Because they grew up in an environment where their survival depended upon questioning their care providers, insecurely attached folks had no problem questioning their government. On the other hand, those with secure attachments (something successful professionals are more likely to have formed) took much longer to come to the realization they could not trust what their government was telling them. These securely attached individuals were more likely to have been regularly rewarded for always following the rules and guidelines, so now, even though the rules and guidelines suddenly went against their common sense (as well as actual science) most went along with them anyway, and all because they had transferred the same trust they had in their childhood caregivers onto their adult caregivers – their government. Those who form secure attachments, as it turns out, are more likely to take the longest to question authority, even extremely questionable authority - simply because they had a stable and secure childhood. For me, this is particularly distressing, because even when they knew they were being lied to many still refused to openly question their government. Dr. John Campbell, a retired teacher of nurses from the UK, a senior lecturer with many degrees (including a degree in medical philosophy), admits he set aside hard facts he built his entire career upon simply because he had been conditioned to believe his government knows better. Securely attached people, such as Dr. Campbell, required a great deal more evidence than the insecurely attached people (like me) in order to be convinced of the many malicious machinations being waged against us by our own governments. Despite having had previously written a book on physiology with a chapter on natural immunity, which he taught for more than 30 years, Dr. Campbell somehow ‘forgot’ all of that accumulated information, as he early-on also fell quickly into step with the mainstream narrative that ‘experimental vaccines’ are the only acceptable solution. It wasn’t until more and more people with vaccine injuries came forward that he finally and grudgingly decided he could no longer trust his government or the information they were promoting. He admits he did not stop long enough to properly assess the information he was given because he had been conditioned to accept a hierarchy of knowledge which places his government as a higher authority than his own common sense. Of course, in retrospect, after the pandemic, after all that has happened, Dr. Campbell is now extremely skeptical, and now says he questions everything (“COVID Psychological Manipulation: Unpacked”). Thankfully, many trained psychologists and medical doctors have started speaking out about the psychological weapons used against us during the Covid pandemic. Weapons utilized by all western nations. Some have even started their own commission in order to demand a higher standard of protocols for all public disasters. The more we understand psychology and how the tools garnered from its study are being weaponized (such as nudges and groupthink), the more we can be on the lookout for the effects on our society, and the more we can defend ourselves against them. The more we pull back the curtain – the less effective their destructive magic. by: Raena Exe 03/17/2024 Resources: “COVID Psychological Manipulation: Unpacked.” Www.youtube.com, youtu.be/4Iqa4CoMciU?si=k8YTN4iBk0cjYnMc.
