Climate change technocrats plan on using same methods that convinced public to obey lockdown.
A deleted government report exploring how to make the public alter its behavior to accept the new ‘green economy’ reveals how COVID-19 restrictions have created a population with a “deep set reverence” for authority and a “powerful tendency to conform.”
The report was inadvertently published by the British government before being hastily pulled down, but numerous journalists were able to retrieve its contents.
The document explored how to weaponize behavioral psychology to ‘nudge’ the public into supporting measures and adopting behavior without them explicitly knowing they’re being manipulated.
The investigation found that the same techniques the government used to force people into accepting lockdown could be used to make them change their lifestyles in the name of preventing climate change.
Under the heading “principles for successful behaviour,” the paper noted;
“Government statements, actions and laws powerfully shape perceptions of normative and acceptable behaviour. For instance, even with public criticism being high, many still perceived government approval as the yardstick for safe behaviour during COVID-19 ‘we’re allowed to do this now [so must be safe]…’. This reveals, for many, a deep set reverence for legitimate government authority, regardless of one’s personal political views.”
While PR stunts such as having officials vaccinated live on television worked to convince people of the narrative, elite hypocrisy (public officials violating lockdown rules) was found to cause significant damage to public trust.
“Perceived hypocrisy can do a lot to undermine efforts to build public engagement and support. This was observed during the COVID-19 pandemic when prominent authority figures broke guidelines, leading to measurable reductions in public compliance as well as shifting attitudes.”
“Green politics has similar deep-seated reputational issues with elite hypocrisy,” notes Breitbart. “A common feature of climate change summits has been high-profile attendees arriving by private or government jet, a disconnect between word and deed that seems unlikely to vanish in the near term.”
The paper concluded that people can be rather easily “nudged” into changing their behavior in response to government announcements and “have a powerful tendency to conform.”
The investigation also found that even if enforced changes to lifestyle are not wanted by the public, most tend to fall in line with the new status quo rather quickly anyway.
The report was prepared by the Behavioural Insights Team (BIT), a quasi-government body that was part of the effort to use “totalitarian” and “unethical” methods of instilling fear into the population as a means of scaring them into complying with lockdown rules.

Solid Chris Martenson video on the history of mass psychosis and how .gov fans the flames these days:

As conservatives kick back with popcorn to watch the idiotic liberals go crazy.
The Century of the Self is a 4 part video available on YouTube which explains how psychology can be used on societies, including how Germany fell for NAZI propaganda. It was made in 2005, but pertinent to today.
What is going to get really interesting is when kids start collapsing on playgrounds after getting their jab.
Will the parents decide to get mad, or get even?
We could be talking an average of one dead kid per elementary school nationwide.
I didn’t realize how bad it was until I got a haircut recently in our rural area (CT).
There were no mask requirements, and nobody was wearing a mask—all good so far.
But—then the barber in the chair next to me starting talking to their customer (and my barber) talking about how they had already taken their two Covid vaxxes and they were planning to get the booster plus their flu shot soon.
It took all of my self-control to avoid puking right there.
These seemingly normal and reasonable folks were brainwashed idiots—and there was nothing I could do about it.
This is like a Twilight Zone episode.

We’re seeing the first stages of a revolt with hospital/health care worker staff, truck drivers, food distribution, etc.
“Government statements, actions and laws powerfully shape perceptions of normative and acceptable behaviour.

Goebbels would be sooo proud...
I didn’t even conform as a kid. Why would I now? lol
Thanks.
A respect for authority derives from concientious adherence to the 4th Commandment. There is an authority structure inherent in society that begins with parents and extends to those in authority. What makes for trouble are at least two major factors: children by nature do not obey their parents, and authority, if not lawful in an of itself under consent of the governed, is inherently abusive.

All stuff people would have learned had they read “1984” and “Animal Farm”.
Good link—thanks.
One of my favorite books related to this topic:

But—it is one thing to read the theory and history. It is quite another to watch it unfold right in front of my nose.
I did not expect to see it in my lifetime.
Guess again.
The beginning of unexpected sometimes provides a short lived sensation; something akin to the sensation veterans might try to describe as they walk through their neighborhood during the first few minutes back in the world.
What I think the problem is with that sensation is we get used to it quickly.

In Wa. state some health care workers and police have taken a stand. The state planned ahead and brought National Guard in. Problem is, it aint that easy. Our hospital is understaffed now so I hear some folks are dying in ER. You can't just plug some one in that easy, you have to know what your doing and how the agency works, computers, protocols and all.
