Progressive worldviews are based upon a collection of myths

Michael Huemer’s Progressive Myths is a powerful critique of contemporary progressive dogmas that eviscerates popular cliches with clinical precision. The University of Colorado philosophy professor probes a variety of explosive topics—ranging from racial and gender disparities to environmental and economic concerns—aiming to expose exaggerations and misrepresentations often-perpetuated by progressive narratives.

Huemer begins by dissecting myths surrounding race, particularly in the domain of police violence and systemic racism. A prominent thread in progressive discourse is that American police disproportionately kill unarmed black individuals due to systemic racism. However, his interrogation of recent data on police shootings reveals that in 2018, 54 unarmed white people were killed compared to 36 unarmed black individuals. 

Moreover, conveniently omitted from debates on police misconduct, is that black Americans are overrepresented as dangerous criminals and constitute 43 percent of cop-killers. Huemer finds it odd that progressives can appreciate that most victims of police violence are men because their heightened exposure to violence increases the probability of them having negative interactions with the police. Yet, using this logic to understand why black offenders are shot at higher rates, is a struggle. Admitting that the negative picture of blacks painted by statistics stems from their conduct offends elite sensibilities, however, concocting strange theories to indict the American legal system for racism will not help blacks nor will it protect the victims of crime who are disproportionately black Americans...<<<Read More>>>...

Control of people’s perception and behaviour through media began a century ago

 Mechanisms of controlling people through media, films and music began with Thomas Edison’s Motion Picture Patents Company in 1908.

Using Edison’s model, significant entities like the Rockefeller and Ford Foundations emerged, shaping knowledge about medicine through strategic grant-making, which contributed to a larger architecture of social control.

While the CIA’s Operation Mockingbird was shaping public perception through the media, Britain’s MI6 was developing methods to control consciousness itself. with the Tavistock Institute playing a significant role, some of which became the foundational algorithms of social media platforms such as Facebook....<<<Read More>>>...

American Psychological Association tells children that asking questions is a form of “disinformation”

 New children's literature from the American Psychological Association (APA) aims to brainwash kids into believing that the simple, innocent act of merely asking a question constitutes intolerable "disinformation" – so stop asking questions, says the APA.

Entitled "True or False? The Science of Perception, Misinformation, and Disinformation," the APA children's book exists to "pre-bunk" the next generation from believing "conspiracy theories" about things like vaccines, pharmaceuticals, and government oppression as a response to a "pandemic."

"This book explores how we think and perceive and why false beliefs, superstitions, opinions, misinformation, or wild guesses can just stick around and mess things up," the book states.

"You'll see how misunderstandings and misuse of scientific findings can lead people to the wrong conclusions. Readers learn how to outsmart their brain to gain critical thinking skills and find ways to identify and correct false beliefs and disinformation."...<<<Read More>>>...

NASA’s Project Blue Beam – as told by Serge Monast.

 Many of us so called “conspiracy theorists” have been made aware of the technology to beam holographic images into thin air that can trick us into believing that they are real. We have been warned that they will, at some point be used by the globalist cult in order to terrorise the world population into a submissive state in order for them to be able to enact the next stage in their New World Order. This pre planned event has been termed Project Blue Beam and was allegedly first brought to light by the French-Canadian journalist, Serge Monast.

Monast was an investigative journalist in the 1980s and covered topics such as medical experiments that influenced human thinking and emotions conducted by the CIA and also of a joint operation carried out by NASA, CIA, and NSA, code name: Blue Beam. The aim of Blue Beam was to manipulate people’s religious faith with the help of electromagnetic waves, computers and global, real time holographic projections to fake the coming of the Messiah, according to Monast...<<<Read More>>>...

Intervention Theory : Against All Odds

 Apocalypse How: If you don’t know what intervention theory is , essentially it is the idea that extraterrestrials intervened , broke the prime directive if you will and have manipulated the so called “Natural Evolution ” of sentient life on planet earth.

The general consensus is they did this via direct genetic manipulation or inbreeding with humans and followed up with a very long and still continuing process of social engineering… to what end …yes that is the question!

No matter what the subject matter , whether it’s alternative history or alternative energy , we always end up asking about our true origins … and we end up at … Intervention theory.

However …from there it branches off into three flavors, either its good , bad or a combination of both. On the negative side , the race that broke this prime directive , what the bible called the Nephilim , what some call the Annunaki , these beings are the Origins of Evil itself , because they are not human , they exploit us and the planet for their agenda , there are many variation of this theme and why they are here and what they are doing , one only needs to do some googling and your trip down the rabbit hole is assured...read more>>>...

Leave The World Behind: Predictive Programming or a Mirror?

 The film Leave The World Behind (LTWB) has been talked about exhaustively over the last week. One of the most successful films ever to be released on Netflix, LTWB has struck a chord with the collective, and many people have very different takes on what the film may be trying to show us.

I watched this film about 11 days ago and thought it was well made, well acted, and had an interesting theme. The film certainly gets you thinking how we live life in our modern world and how fragile things can be.

The next day I went to social media and saw post after post of people in fear or feeling uneasy after watching this film.

“Something really weirded me out about this film.”

”It’s a great film but I feel like this is what’s coming and they are warning us.”

”Why are the Obama’s behind a film like this? What is it trying to say? This really made me feel afraid.”

Beyond general feelings of fear and worry, people were also pointing out the apparent predictive programming of the film, as well as occult symbolism....<<<Read More>>>...

What is Fear?

Sadhguru: Fear is simply because you are not living with life, you are living in your mind. Your fear is always about what’s going to happen next. That means your fear is always about that which does not exist.

If your fear is about the non-existent, your fear is hundred percent imaginary.

If you are suffering the non-existential, we call that insanity. So, people may be in just socially accepted levels of insanity, but if you’re afraid or if you’re suffering anything which does not exist, it amounts to insanity, isn’t it? 

People are always suffering either what happened yesterday or what may happen tomorrow. So your suffering is always about that which does not exist, simply because you’re not rooted in reality, you’re always rooted in your mind. Mind is – one part of it is memory, another part of it is imagination. Both of them are in one way imagination, because both of them don’t exist right now. You’re lost in your imagination, that’s the basis of your fear. If you were rooted in reality, there would be no fear.

What fear does is it puts boundaries around you. It is because of fear that you build boundaries all the time. If you put boundaries and restrict the area of your life, you may be safe but the problem is you are safe even from life. You are protected from life itself. That’s real protection! ...read more>>>...

 

The Inversion: How We Have Been Tricked into Perceiving a False Reality

Let us begin with a story …

Human life is a story. And yet it is not one single story. It is an open book full of rich, amazing, powerful, and sometimes dangerous, stories. Humanity is quite literally living its own 1001 Nights yet across millennia. And just like that book of masterful storytelling, there have been incredible stories that filled the minds, and hearts, of many millions of people throughout the ages. 

We live upon and within a story each second of our lives. Some of these stories are greater than others – more epic, more powerful, and more influential. Others are daily stories that fill our pockets and arrange our hours. Yet over and above our stories there has always been a grand narrative. It is this grand, sweeping story that narrates, and influences, the general direction in which humanity moves.  

And this grand narrative is often so compelling, so full of persuasive detail, that we believe in it wholeheartedly. Like an amazing tale told to a child before bedtime, this tale then becomes woven into that night’s dream. Upon waking, the dream feels so real that it lingers far long into the day and until it is replenished once again before bedtime. And yet sometimes, within special circumstances, the dream is so captivating and convincing that it causes the dreamer never to awaken. The dreamer continues to dream the dream that they were told before sleeping.

Human history is like a dream within a dream – an inversion within an illusion. And as many dreamers know, there are levels within dreams. Like a Russian Matryoshka doll, there are nesting layers of stories that all combine to create an overarching narrative body or realm. And many people, like good dreamers, find themselves caught up within one of the layers. And it can be almost impossible to get out...<<<Read More>>>....

 

The globalists are inducing a global famine where nobody owns anything and everyone is STARVING

 Fear narratives are being spread by agencies of the psychopathic globalists to make the scared sheeples in the human masses perceive this very thing, and help the globalists manifest this reality.

Believe stories like this at your peril. Keep a positive and open mind, permitting yourself to avoid being pulled into this black magic conjuring.

+++++++++++++++

Is the world in danger of a global famine due to climate change? The answer is of course not. But this is the message being pushed by the globalists as they systematically set the stage for a purposeful famine that they are currently in the process of inducing.

In the Netherlands, for instance, the globalist-run government there is warning people that "because of climate change, poor harvests, armed conflicts, and population growth, the danger of famine is increasing." The truth, though, is that the government's own anti-farming policies, which are being implemented in the name of fighting climate change, are bringing about said famine.

The idea that countries are just going to "run out of food" due to global warming is preposterous. There are obviously other factors at play that are being done on purpose to make countries run out of food so that their populations starve.

"Many countries including Canada, Germany and Sri Lanka are following a similar agenda to undermine the agricultural sector by reducing nitrogen in the environment by at least 30 per cent," one report explains about the matter.

"Joshua Phillip, an investigative reporter and recognized expert on asymmetrical hybrid warfare, says 'the nitrogen reduction policies and chemical fertilizer trends in the majority of countries around the world will lead to food shortages, like what happened in Sri Lanka recently.'"...<<<Read More>>>...

Why Live In Fear?

Everything seems to be doom and gloom at the moment. No matter where you look it seems that we are in a hopeless situation. That it is useless to resist what the un-elected, self appointed, organisations like the WHO and the WEF are planning. It seems like the world we once knew, with relative freedom, is about to collapse and those that survive must adhere to the fascist control agenda, or be exterminated.

THAT IS WHAT THESE PSYCHOTIC ORGANISATIONS WANT YOU TO THINK.

It is how they want you to be. In a constant state of fear and panic. They want you to feel useless and helpless. It is part of their agenda, and their mind control program.

Very soon they are likely to offer a very tempting helping hand to the world; something that will apparently take away the fear, and the hopelessness. They will offer to control your life for you. "You will own nothing and be happy".

Sorry to say, by freely choosing to grab that helping hand, you will be doomed forever. This, on a large scale, is an agenda aligned with problem, reaction, solution. We are at the problem stage. Manufactured chaos and destruction of human society (And mass depopulation as there are too many of us for their plan to work). They have peddled the problem narratives - viruses and vaccines, bogus climate change and global warning blah blah blah.

They are witnessing the reactions, which they have manufactured by their mind control techniques through all their media channels. The music industry. The news and newspapers. The TV and film programming.

We have been dumbed down from our true potential by poisons in the food, in the air, and in the water. They also use sound frequency mind control - wifi etc. They obviously believe we are in a hopeless state now, and are dumbed down enough to fall for their solution.

Its on its way. Digital control frameworks, constant surveillance and control, and of course the fake UFO invasions.. Its all going to be sold as they know what's best for us, and they need to control every aspect of your life.

I for one would take a bullet in the head, rather than fall for their evil little plan. There are always around 25-30% of any population group that cannot be mind controlled. So that's a minimum of 30% of the human  population that will not play ball. We need around another 20 - 25% not conforming for their little plan to fail. Its likely we are currently at that point with the speed they are trying to bring things in.

Remember, this entire thing is all about perception. If you are made to perceive that you live in fear and are useless, then that becomes your reality. That has been their agenda all along. For thousands of years they have ruled us by fear. Around 1 - 5 million people ruled by a central core of around 100 - 200 people. An entire population made as slaves by so few people!

If you refuse to feel useless and don't live in fear then your perception alters and your actual energy frequency/vibration lifts to a point they cannot touch you with anything they throw at you. The worst thing is death; if you don't fear dying ... then why worry about what probably will not happen.

Everything in the media and on the WWW is illusion and controlled perception. It is not the true picture at all!!! .... Matthew James 15.6.23
 

Perception of reality depends on our experience

 One of the most popular philosophical theories says that the reality around us is an illusion. Most often, they refer to Buddhism and other Eastern teachings, but similar views are present in other philosophical traditions. How likely is it that the world around us is not real?

Take Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. This ancient Greek thinker believed that all the objects around us are just shadows (ideas) of forms. This is how he describes our false perception of the world.

In the allegory “The Cave”, Plato describes a group of people who have lived chained to the wall of a cave all their lives, facing a blank wall.

The people watch shadows projected on the wall from objects passing in front of a fire behind them and give names to these shadows. The shadows are the prisoners’ reality, but are not accurate representations of the real world.

The shadows represent the fragment of reality that we can normally perceive through our senses, while the objects under the sun represent the true forms of objects that we can only perceive through reason.

According to Plato, the objects of experience are imperfect imitations of forms. Let’s say that a mathematical triangle in abstraction looks perfect, but in fact there are no perfect triangles in nature.

Therefore, those triangles that we deal with in the so-called real world are only imperfect reflections of the ideal form. And the same with other things. Even what we perceive as beauty is just a reflection of true beauty....<<<Read More>>>...

How propaganda works and why so many have fallen for it

 Since March 2020, the vast majority of people over the world have willingly, without question or resistance, given up their most basic rights and been blindly obeying the Draconian measures of increasingly authoritarian “liberal democracies” and their utterly absurd rules.

The persistent uniform propaganda of government and mainstream media, as well as the human mind, are cited as causes by those who study this process retroactively.

This article takes these two things to shine a light on the present predicament. Those who continue to turn a blind eye and refuse to deal with the traumas that have led to their passivity up to this point are complicit in the rising tyranny and potential dystopian developments.

Politics and the media have used sophisticated propaganda techniques to successfully misinform and disillusion the majority of the public. Many people, for instance, are unaware that the PCR test examines just “snippets” of the virus and not infections, and that the PCR test frequently yields false-positive tests. The PCR test is useless from a medical perspective because it does not detect infections. But it must be utilised to justify the lockdown procedures. As such, it provides cover for a wide range of negative outcomes, including the alienation of the old, the bullying of children, the destruction of the economy, and the isolation of both...<<<Read More>>>...

Perception Deception

Things are often not what they appear to be. They designed to give a false impression. To bend logic and create an illusion to fool your mind. The onus is on deception and false impression. Often to force you to see the world in a way someone else wants you to. This is what I term a perception deception. The current issue with Covid-19 is one of these instances. As was Brexit, the Pulse Night Club, the Boston Bombings, The War In Iraq, ISIS and also 9/11. That is just the tip of the iceberg. NASA does it all the time with Mars, The Moon and its exploration of space. Science does it. Medicine does it. 

Indeed just about everything we are taught about life in school is a perception deception. Our true nature is hidden from us. We are deceived with our perception about our minds, our bodies and also life after the illusion known as death. There is little in this world that is not a perception deception. 

You look around this world at the ancient wonders, the architecture from the distant past and its construction is more evidence of the perception deception going on. The account of history and our evolvement; the missing link. All lies. All perception deception. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Evidence exists that man has been more advanced millions of years before this age. That he possessed more intelligence than us, that his civilisations had in them what we have so called only just found now. Perception deception. Our whole identity is a deliberate lie. Those who do this - who I call the Lizard people, which is another perception deception as they don't actually have an appearance, being only energy in our minds that create thought forms in our minds and sickly voices too - are frightened of our discovery of the deceptions that abound this realm. They have lied to us for aeons. They bend our wills to do their work for them.We help create the reality they want by way of perception deception. We do it all for them with our minds. That is why they twist our thoughts to that of their desires ... to their agenda. Perception deception in every aspect of our lives in this fake reality. Within this pirate copy of a true realm. We are their food source. We are the engine room that drives this fake reality. We are forced by perception reality to live in fear. Fear is their food. It is what drives this pirate copy. Perception deception creates fears. 

'Sixteen were the fears to be overcome in order to remember universal love. When there is universal love you become off the grid to those of the darkness.'

Are Your Thoughts and Beliefs REALLY Yours?

To explain the concept of molding your thoughts and beliefs to someone else’s idea of what is or isn’t, we must take a look at how our minds work when it comes to believing or not believing that something exists. Whether it is true or not. This is especially important today when most of us get our news stories in single sentence alerts, and from single sources that already align with your belief system. Of course, this is exactly how we hope science doesn’t work.

Many perceive the human mind is of finite boundaries. In other words, we must be able to see things in a tangible manner; in a way that the mind can perceive the information. (Of course, our minds are not finite, but the Scientific Method has not evolved to take that into account; at least not yet). We make it finite by putting any gathered information in some sort of order. In mental boxes or file cabinet so that we are able to understand the information that enters our senses. If we see something that doesn’t make sense, we can’t just allow it to be simply something that doesn’t make sense…we must make sense out of the nonsense.

How is this done?

By using previously gathered information, which at all costs must be explainable, repeatable, and tangible in order to be considered “real”. Never mind that this method excludes a multitude of existing information. Kind of like how important evidence can be thrown out of a court of law due to improper procedures....<<<Read More>>>...

Remind Me Again, Why Did I Incarnate Into This Sh*thole?

 Did you ever wonder why you decided to incarnate into these lower vibrations of the third density?

When we were back on the other side with Source, life seemed so easy. We had the answers to all universal questions and lived in the complete vibration of love. There was no dissension, hatred, ego, or financial concerns, just love.

After many years of being in this vibration, you forgot what it was like to live in a 3rd dimensional vibration, yet you were fortunate enough to have been here in at least one other previous incarnation and you remembered how your spiritual progression was raised exponentially by being in a world full of duality.

You swore to yourself that this time, you would not allow the lower third dimensional vibrations to bring you down. You planned on bringing back the vibration of love with you to this planet, but your memories of being with Source were once again wiped from your immediate memories as the 3rd dimensional brainwashing began, yet again.

From birth, you were indoctrinated into a system that promotes subservience, control, and conformity. You always felt cognitive dissonance over this but weren’t sure why. It seemed like everybody else was conforming to this system and this is the way it is supposed to be.

You attended school and sometimes caught yourself daydreaming as if your higher self was telling you, “A formal education is not what is important in life.”

As a child, you were taught how to play sports and learned aggressive, self-serving behaviors that only reinforced the divide and conquer mentality that is forced upon us by our societal expectations.

You were pacified with mundane television programs that not only took you further away from who truly are, but helped to influence what you thought, wore, ate, drank, etc..

As you grew older, you started to discover how corrupt this system has become on Earth, not only in your home country, but all over this planet.

You begin to seek answers to questions that are not taught in school, such as “What is the origin of human existence?” and “Why are there so many opposing religions when there is only one Source?”

You become trapped in a system that relies on monetary success in order to survive, making you an economic slave to the few that control the many. Unknowingly, you become part of that system....<<<Read More>>>....

‘Ministry of Truth’ Trends on Twitter After Government Unveils New ‘Disinformation Governance Board’

On Wednesday news broke that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) — a department that didn’t exist 20 years ago but today spends $52 billion annually — had created a new “Disinformation Governance Board.”

The news comes just days after Twitter accepted Tesla-founder Elon Musk’s offer to buy Twitter for $44 billion, a move that critics of the deal claimed could unleash disinformation. (Musk has been vocal in his support for free speech.)

DHS declined to be interviewed by the Associated Press, but issued a statement after news broke of the development.

“The spread of disinformation can affect border security, Americans’ safety during disasters, and public trust in our democratic institutions,” DHS said.

Perhaps naturally, the revelation that the government had created a new board to fight “disinformation” prompted a slew of Nineteen Eighty-Four comparisons, especially since it came so soon after Musk’s purchase of Twitter.

“Elon Musk buys Twitter to save free speech and days later President Biden announces a Ministry of Truth,” one observer quipped. “It’s like we’re living through an Ayn Rand/George Orwell novel mash-up.”

For those unfamiliar with George Orwell’s masterpiece, the Ministry of Truth is the propaganda and censorship department of Oceania, the fictional setting for Orwell’s dystopia.

Known as Minitrue in Newspeak, the name Ministry of Truth is a misnomer. Like all the departments in 1984, the name reflects the opposite of what the government actually does....<<<Read More>>>...

The World Is Not an Illusion

Everyone is entitled to their opinions. This is the wonder of freewill and free thinking. It's good to publish a viewpoint which is slightly different to what is our own ... it is the way of learning and growing.

[Wake Up World]: One of the biggest myths about spirituality is that it reveals the world to be an illusion. According to the myth, when we “wake up” or become enlightened, we realise that the physical realm of things is just a dream. The world and all the events that take place in it are seen as a mirage. Only the spirit is real, which exists above and beyond the physical world.

One of the problems with this view is that it leads to a detached and indifferent attitude to worldly events. What does it matter if millions of people are suffering from poverty and starvation? What does warfare or ecological catastrophe matter? Why should we bother trying to fight for social causes or against global problems? It’s all just part of the dream, so none of it is of any consequence.

This attitude is often justified with reference to the Hindu concept of maya. This is sometimes translated as “illusion,” but its actual meaning is actually closer to “deception.” Maya is the force that deceives us into thinking of ourselves as separate entities and the world as consisting of separate, autonomous phenomena. In other words, maya prevents us from seeing the world as it really is. It blinds us to the unity that lies behind apparent diversity. It stops us from seeing the world as brahman, or spirit. So it doesn’t literally mean that the world is an illusion, but that it’s not as it seems. It means that our vision of the world is not complete or objective, that there’s more to reality than we superficially see.

The idea of the world as an illusion is sometimes specifically associated with Hindu Advaita Vedanta (or nonduality) philosophy, but this interpretation of Advaita stems from a similar misunderstanding. The most influential Advaita Vedanta philosopher was Sankara, who lived during the eighth and ninth centuries CE. Sankara famously made three statements (later reframed by Ramana Maharshi and others): “The universe is unreal. Brahman is real. The universe is Brahman.” If the first two statements are taken alone and out of context — as they often are — then they suggest a duality between the world and spirit: the world is an illusion, and only spirit is real. But the third statement, which is often overlooked, completely reverses this. The third statement says that the universe is spirit, and so the universe actually is real. Sankara is not literally saying that the universe is unreal, only that it doesn’t have an independent reality. It depends on brahman for its existence; it’s pervaded with brahman, and it can’t exist without it.

Ramana Maharshi, perhaps the greatest Indian sage of the twentieth century, held a similar view. He explained that the world is not unreal in itself. It becomes so when we perceive it purely in terms of its appearance and only see interacting separate objects rather than an underlying spirit. That world is unreal in the same way that a dream is unreal, because it’s based on delusion. But in itself, the world is inseparable from spirit. It’s a manifestation of spirit.

This is exactly what wakefulness reveals — not that the world is an illusion but that the world as we normally see it is incomplete, a partial reality. In wakefulness, the world actually becomes more real, partly in the sense that it becomes more tangibly real and alive, more vivid and powerfully there, but also in the sense that it becomes infused with spirit. In wakefulness, we realize that there’s no duality, no matter or spirit, no matter or mind. We realize that the physical world and the spiritual world are one, with no distinction. The world is gloriously infused with spirit and gloriously real.

Your Perceived Enemies Are Your Greatest Teachers

[Wake Up World]: As humans, we oversimplify things. We don’t want to waste our mental energy looking at the vast interplay and complexity of every situation and experience.

This can be helpful at times, but it can sometimes also leave to us facing more challenges in life. The dualistic black-and-white thinking can lead us to developing an internal belief system where we see certain aspects, powers, and forces as ‘good’ while others are ‘evil’ in our eyes. We view people as either friends or enemies.

This is a mistake. That is, it means we lose out on the incredible opportunities we have for growth that would not come in any other way.

Just as failures can lead you to seeing what you could improve on, so-called enemies could be some of your greatest teachers. No matter who, or what, it is, it can be a teacher.

How?

It’s quite simple. Those people or occult forces you see as enemies, evil, parasites, etc. are all showing you a point of weakness within you. They are finding a point of entry that you have let open, either by not paying attention to some aspect of yourself needing work (trauma is usually the originating cause), or by intentionally weakening your energy field....<<<Read The Full Article Here>>>...

How coronavirus hijacks human cells and takes over our genes then turns our immune system against us

 One way to reinforce fear is to constantly bombard the internet and the MSM with horrific accounts of how dangerous Covid-19 is ... to ensure civil conformity to your planned perception of the world, as trauma based reinforcement is a form of mind control and mental conditioning. 

The message being worked on the sub-conscious during this confusion stage is  .... ' Be fearful of Covid-19. Be fearful. Be very scared.'

Are you a participant in all of this? Thus permitting yourself to become fearful of a manufactured virus and an unwilling participant in a satanic ritual? 

Or are you merely an observer? Like a mountain goat watching from your hillside haven, see all the sheep being herded to their slaughter?

Only you can decide. 


[Daily Mail]: The novel coronavirus 'hijacks' our body's cells by blocking certain genes that fight against infections, a new study suggests.

Viruses, such as the flu, usually interfere with two sets of genes: one that prevents viruses from replicating and the other that sends immune cells to the infection site to kill viruses.

But researchers found SARS-CoV-2 behaves differently, inhibiting the genes that stop the virus from copying itself but allowing the genes that call for immune cells to behave normally.

This causes the virus to multiply and an overproduction of immune cells to flood the lungs and other organs, which leads to unmitigated inflammation.

Dr Benjamin tenOever, a virologist and professor of microbiology at the Icahn School of Medicine, told DailyMail.com that an infected cell has 'two jobs to do'.

'One job is to tell all the cells around you to fortify...and the second job is to recruit the more professional immune cells to that site of infection,' he said.

Typically, our body's cells have two groups of virus-fighting genes: interferons and chemokines.

Interferons are signaling proteins released by infected cells and are named for their prowess to 'interfere' with the virus's ability to multiply itself.

Chemokines are small molecules that call for immune cells to go the site of an infection so they can target and destroy the virus.

According to tenOever, the first set of genes control virus replication for about seven to 10 days so the second set has enough time to get immune cells to attack.

He refers to interferons as the 'call-to-arms' genes and to chemokines as the 'call-for-reinforcement' genes....<<<Read The Full Article Here>>>...

COVID Coercion: Boris Johnson's Psychological Attack on the UK Public

[UK Column]: During the 2009/10 ‘swine flu’ pandemic, SAGE received advice from a subgroup called the Scientific Pandemic Influenza group on Behaviour and Communications (SPI-B&C).

That group was reconvened on 13 February this year. This time, its remit was limited to behaviour and it was renamed the Scientific Pandemic Influenza group on Behaviour, or SPI-B.

SPI-B takes no part in discussion about which interventions are effective in dealing with the Covid-19 ‘pandemic’, or their timing. The group is tasked with providing advice on how to ‘help’ people to adhere to the interventions which government demands.

By the beginning of March, there had been three meetings of SPI-B to discuss specific topics requested by SAGE: the risk of public disorder; the use of behavioural and social interventions; and how to give guidance to people who are asked to self-isolate.

“What are the options for increasing adherence to the social distancing measures?”, it asks.

It considers the two social distancing measure seen to be most important at that time: general social distancing by everyone, and shielding of vulnerable people for at least 12 weeks.

There are nine “broad ways” of achieving behaviour change, they write: Education, Persuasion, Incentivisation, Coercion, Enablement, Training, Restriction, Environmental restructuring, and Modelling.

The advice given by SPI-B is immediately aggressive. “A substantial number of people still do not feel sufficiently personally threatened,” they write. “The perceived level of personal threat needs to be increased among those who are complacent, using hard-hitting emotional messaging.”

In other words, SPI-B recommended to SAGE that levels of fear needed to be increased in order to bring levels of compliance with so-called ‘lockdown’ up to desirable levels.

“To be effective,” they continue, “this must also empower people by making clear the actions they can take to reduce the threat.”

Here, SPI-B is making it clear that it can’t be left to individuals to decide which actions are appropriate; they have to be told.

Another option for managing behaviour which SPI-B recommends is the harnessing of “social disapproval”.

“Social disapproval from one’s community,” they write, “can play an important role in preventing anti-social behaviour or discouraging failure to enact pro-social behaviour. However, this needs to be carefully managed to avoid victimisation, scapegoating and misdirected criticism. It needs to be accompanied by clear messaging and promotion of strong collective identity. Consideration should be given to use of social disapproval but with a strong caveat around unwanted negative consequences.” ...<<<Read The Full Article Here>>>...
