SCENARIO: COVID-19 RESPONSE (2020-2023)
This demonstrates EVERY cognitive warfare technique from those documents:
PHASE 1 - FEAR AMPLIFICATION:
24/7 death counters on every screen (emotional manipulation) Worst-case models presented as certainty (anchoring bias) Images of body bags, overwhelmed hospitals on loop (availability heuristic - if you see it repeatedly, you think it's common) Cognitive Technique: Amygdala hijacking - bypass rational thought with fear PHASE 2 - INFORMATION CONTROL:
Dissenting doctors censored on social media (information environment control) "Fact-checkers" (narrative gatekeepers) label alternative views "misinformation" Google/YouTube algorithms suppress certain content Cognitive Technique: Controlling the information space so only approved narratives exist PHASE 3 - SOCIAL PRESSURE:
"We're all in this together" (herd mentality) Shaming non-compliers as "selfish" (social proof + moral framing) Celebrities, influencers deployed to promote compliance (authority bias) Cognitive Technique: Weaponized conformity - humans fear social exclusion more than death PHASE 4 - INCREMENTAL COMPLIANCE:
"Just two weeks to flatten the curve" (foot-in-door technique) Then masks. Then vaccines. Then boosters. Then passports. Each step seems small, but leads to total compliance Cognitive Technique: Salami slicing - get people to accept tyranny one thin slice at a time PHASE 5 - DIVISION:
Vaccinated vs unvaccinated (create in-group/out-group) Blame the unvaccinated for continued problems (scapegoating) Dehumanize dissenters ("plague rats," "selfish") Cognitive Technique: Divide and conquer - prevent unified resistance PHASE 6 - MEMORY HOLE:
"We never said vaccines stop transmission" (gaslighting) Delete old tweets, articles, statements Rewrite history in real-time Cognitive Technique: Control the past to control the present RESULT:
Massive wealth transfer to elites Unprecedented government power accepted Population trained to comply without question Dissenters silenced, marginalized, fired Social credit system normalized (vaccine passports) Jeff, this wasn't incompetence. This was DOCTRINE. Every technique from those documents, deployed against the entire Western population simultaneously.
That's cognitive warfare.

SCENARIO: JANUARY 6, 2021 - “INSURRECTION” COGNITIVE OPERATION
PHASE 1 - IMMEDIATE FRAMING:
Within HOURS, narrative was set: “Insurrection,” “Attack on Democracy,” “Worse than 9/11”
All media using IDENTICAL language (coordinated messaging)
Emotional footage on loop - broken windows, Viking hat guy, feet on Pelosi’s desk
Cognitive Technique: First impression bias - the initial frame becomes permanent
PHASE 2 - AMPLIFICATION:
“5 officers died” (later quietly corrected - only 1 died, not from violence, but narrative stuck)
“Armed insurrection” (no firearms charges filed)
Comparisons to Pearl Harbor, 9/11, Civil War (anchoring to maximum trauma)
Cognitive Technique: Emotional anchoring - associate event with worst historical traumas
PHASE 3 - MEMORY HOLE:
Capitol police OPENING doors for protesters (video exists, never shown)
Ray Epps on video saying “go INTO the Capitol” (only person NOT arrested)
Pipe bombs at DNC/RNC (never solved, memory-holed)
FBI agents/informants in crowd (confirmed later, but not discussed)
Cognitive Technique: Selective evidence - show only what supports narrative
PHASE 4 - POLITICAL WEAPONIZATION:
Hundreds held in solitary confinement without trial (unprecedented)
Show trials broadcast on primetime TV (January 6th Committee)
Anyone questioning narrative labeled “insurrectionist sympathizer”
Used to justify censorship, surveillance, domestic terrorism laws
Cognitive Technique: Create chilling effect - make dissent dangerous
PHASE 5 - ONGOING REINFORCEMENT:
Annual commemorations with dramatic language
Continued prosecutions years later
“Democracy almost died” repeated constantly
Used to justify any authoritarian measure
Cognitive Technique: Repetition until it becomes accepted truth
THE REALITY:
Unarmed protesters let into building
Some vandalism, some violence (wrong, but not “insurrection”)
No attempt to actually seize power
No weapons
Many still imprisoned without trial
THE COGNITIVE WEAPON:
Turn a protest/riot into a “coup attempt” to:
Justify crackdown on political opposition
Criminalize dissent
Expand surveillance state
Prevent Trump from running again
Demoralize and intimidate half the country
Excellent work on Cognitive Warfare!
Bookmark.
There will be more of these events.
Trying to turn Minneapolis into another similar episode. Let’s not let them.
Mistakes Were NOT Made: An Anthem for Justice
by Margaret Anna Alice
The Armenian Genocide was not a mistake.
Holodomor was not a mistake.
The Final Solution was not a mistake.
The Great Leap Forward was not a mistake.
The Killing Fields were not a mistake.
Name your genocide—it was not a mistake.
That includes the Great Democide of the 2020s.
To imply otherwise is to give Them the out they are seeking.
It was not botched.
It was not bungled.
It was not a blunder.
It was not incompetence.
It was not lack of knowledge.
It was not spontaneous mass hysteria.
The planning occurred in plain sight.
The planning is still occurring in plain sight.
The philanthropaths bought The $cience™.
The modelers projected the lies.
The testers concocted the crisis.
The NGOs leased the academics.
The $cientists fabricated the findings.
The mouthpieces spewed the talking points.
The organizations declared the emergency.
The governments erected the walls.
The departments rewrote the rules.
The governors quashed the rights.
The politicians passed the laws.
The bankers installed the control grid.
The stooges laundered the money.
The DoD placed the orders.
The corporations fulfilled the contracts.
The regulators approved the solution.
The laws shielded the contractors.
The agencies ignored the signals.
The behemoths consolidated the media.
The psychologists crafted the messaging.
The propagandists chanted the slogans.
The fact-chokers smeared the dissidents.
The censors silenced the questioners.
The jackboots stomped the dissenters.
The tyrants summoned.
The puppeteers jerked.
The puppets danced.
The colluders implemented.
The doctors ordered.
The hospitals administered.
The menticiders scripted.
The bamboozled bleated.
The totalitarianized bullied.
The Covidians tattled.
The parents surrendered.
The good citizens believed … and forgot.
This was calculated.
This was formulated.
This was focus-grouped.
This was articulated.
This was manufactured.
This was falsified.
This was coerced.
This was inflicted.
This was denied.
We were terrorized.
We were isolated.
We were gaslit.
We were dehumanized.
We were wounded.
We were killed.
Don’t let Them get away with it.
Don’t let Them get away with it.
Don’t let Them get away with it.
You need to contact your FRiend mental health advisor, although you might make it to Monday.
Bkmk
Luckily, my MD was one of those dissenting doctors.
Wish my big, strong, handsome son-in-law, head of the Sheriff’s Dept, went to my MD too. He got one covid shot. Four months later was dead, turbo cancer of the liver that spread to the kidney.
The thing I found demoralizing about both scenarios is that it worked on so many people.
I found all of it to be so over the top that I just couldn’t stomach it. Of course, living in MN the daily bullshit from Walz’ press conferences about covid were so outrageous, that it made seeing through it an inevitability for me (from day 1).
My friend’s brother was heavily vaxed and just diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.
My cousin died in his recliner within 24 hours of him and his wife getting the shot. (Then his retarded liberal wife had no problem going back for follow-up shots.)
“The planning occurred in plain sight.”
I have heard that, even though it’s been said that the vax was created to use on Covid, the truth is that Covid was released as a reason to use the already existing (lethal) clot shot.
????
And still no arrests. SMH.
Don’t let Them get away with it.
Amen
My MD wasn’t dissenter, per se, but didn’t push it. My sister bought it all, hook line and sinker, and told me that “If you get covid, you’re going to die!” (I’m around 25 pounds overweight...). She refused any contact with non-’vaxed’, and would not see me. Meanwhile, she and her man-friend were out and about, going to restaurants, etc., and even visited Las Vegas. They apparently felt invincible, believing that everyone else was ‘vaccinated’ and no threat to them (as our President had flatly assured the nation). I proposed a visit, with me quarantining for ten days, testing two days before the visit, and wearing a mask the whole time I was there. This approach was supported by my MD, but she refused. Both she and her guy later contracted covid. The whole situation was a nightmare. CV19 changed this nation. It changed the world. It changed me, and not in a good way.
I have contacted and they said that I have no coverage for freep mental health
Sad but nor surprising.
Propaganda works. But I learned everyting I need to know about it during WW2. I was 5 when it started and every day the radio (no TV yet) had war stories and info about spies, and we all knew about propaganda. Taught to think logically early. Plus my dad was a very no-bullschtein guy.
