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.

Yeah, and I live just outside of Seattle on the Olympic Peninsula.
The last two years especially have revealed we have far more sheeple in America than people. Folks are complacent and happily submit. Some may be afraid to call out evil but not ‘the great one’. I saw an article about Mark putting one in her place, “Levin: ‘Pathological Liar’ Liz Cheney Would’ve ‘Fit Right in With the Brezhnev Crowd’”, and you can give that a look at CNSnews. Send that witch Liz back to the Soviet Union and throw in her communist democRAT pals too. Liz’s dad and Alec Baldwin have both shot people ‘by accident’ now.
I’m waiting for professional athletes to start collapsing. One former NBA’er already did last year and just recently came out that his team (Hawks?) ordered him to NOT say his blood clots and related issues were from the ‘vaccine’.
If you can still get what a ‘vaccine’ is for then it isn’t a real actual vaccine. How is it taking people so long to catch up to this fact?! The ‘delta variant’ IS the ‘vaccine’!
And you expect to know about this when or soon after it happens??????
We will know when we know....together.
