There is no better way to control people than to rally them against a common threat. The bigger and more intangible the threat, far removed from the average person’s reality, the better. Anxious people are easy to govern. Terrified people will comply to feel safe. 

How humans think about safety relates to how they think about fear. To be safe, people need to be free from the threat of physical or mental harm. But to feel safe, people need to be free from the perception of potential harm, confident in understanding the likely threats and how to avoid them. Whether their perception is accurate is often incidental to the feeling itself. 

Fear reactions are primal when it comes to conceptual threats. People learn what or whom to fear in a various ways; from the things that are experienced or observed to the warnings of peers and authority figures. This cocktail of influences creates a tribal effect as primal as when these instincts evolved. The security and support that belonging to a group provides creates a profound psychological incentive to remain in the group. 

People’s dependence on group affiliation for safety and support can be so strong that it can override more logical assessments of fear and safety. Even in situations where the actions of the tribe’s leaders contribute to the group’s collective misery, many will find it hard to reject that leadership. Instead people become intolerant when confronted with evidence that challenges their beliefs: They redouble their support for trusted authority figures and reject outside criticism, as proof supporting the notion that the group is under threat.    

Take a look at current threats: 

1)    China - The tribe is told and believe that China is preparing for war without understanding that the Chinese don’t think like that. They built a wall to keep invaders out not to conquer other nations. They built a free market, free enterprise economy based on interdependence. They need markets for their products as much as they need others to provide raw materials. If you don’t follow the hate China narrative you are a traitor. But behind all this is the ignorance of the general public because very few have been to and understand modern China. We believe what the media tell us defying reality and history. 

2)    Climate Change - Started out as greenhouse effect, then global warming and then climate catastrophe, each moniker groping for a higher level of emotive response. Observations of melting polar ice draw conclusions and predictions that correlate variously to rising sea levels and more severe weather events. The average person cannot travel to the poles to verify the scientists’ observations and draw their own conclusions and their ignorance is compounded by most not being able to recite the make up of the atmosphere from basic science nor the tilt of the earth’s axis and what causes it and the various climatic regions. Predictions of metres of water level rises defy logic and proper science:

    features/Water  

“In all, the Earth’s water content is about 1.39 billion cubic kilometers (331 million cubic miles), with the bulk of it, about 96.5%, being in the global oceans. As for the rest, approximately 1.7% is stored in the polar icecaps, glaciers, and permanent snow, and another 1.7% is stored in groundwater, lakes, rivers, streams, and soil.”  Leaving 0.1% as water vapor in the atmosphere.

Do an experiment; fill a bathtub with x litres litres water at room temperature. Mark the water level. Remove a small amount boil it and add back to the bathwater to increase the temperature by 2 degrees. Take a previously set aside additional 1% of x litres that has been frozen and add to the bathwater. Measure the water level. Wait for the ice to melt and measure both the temperature and resultant water level. Take the resultant difference in water level as a quotient of the starting depth of the x litres of water and apply that to the average depth of the ocean. Keep in mind that 70% of the earth’s surface is ocean at 3000 metres average depth. The real evidence in the ice reveals long periods of ice ages and shorter warmer interglacial periods interspaced by 120,000 years. The most significant volume of greenhouse gas is not CO2 (0.04%) but water vapour (0.1%); as the earth heats (by many factors, the least of which being man made) creating more clouds shielding the earth from the sun will make it colder.   

Defying real objective science we are made to believe that only all governments working in unison to tax the people and remit ‘carbon credits’ to the modern day robber barons who will deliver us a carbon neutral world, reversing climate change saving us from extinction.

If you think for yourself you are decried as a ‘climate denier’. 

(In the meantime, we have an ecological problem that everyone can do something about. Reduce power consumption, reduce waste, buy local product that does not need trucking from Timbuktu, eat seasonally, consume less, plant more, worry less and teach your children well.) 

3)    Corona Virus – Take the ever-changing common flu virus, make it terrifying with mutations (and blame it on the people we understand least), outlaw everything more than Panadol for treatment, keep everyone away from hospitals so they cannot see them empty. Make the people wear masks signalling themselves compliant believers. (You don’t even have to vilify the free breathers; the tribe will do that for you). Let the tide go out (by closing businesses) and see who’s got no cloths on, just for fun. Let the paranoia really build with the most outlandish conspiracy theory notions like universal micro chipping and mandatory vaccination and all kinds of other false flags and distractions. Then the real agenda can commence in plain sight and without dissent. The world’s population will reduce and a much more profitable and exploitive group will result.

4)    The Media – Did you ever wonder in the newspaper era how so much news happened to fill them all, everyday? Getting, reading and assessing the news were a considered, reflective pursuit. Today the barrage of televised and digital infomass, influence us and quashes our natural intelligence with a handful of current issues presented lockstep to the same narrative. We have been brainwashed and gas lighted. Notice the subtle change from investigative reporting to opinion coalescence, from reporting what has happened (news) to predicting what’s going to happen (gloom). So the headline goes; "The sky is falling” according to professor Doomblury of UBN, reports FakeNews contributor Mike Hearsay.

Hello World. Welcome to the New World Order. It’s not a plan, it’s a plot and it has already happened.

We were all part of it because we chose to deny the truth buried deep in our psyche and succumb to anxiety, fear and terror. 

Welcome to 2021 – you will be happy.
