FACTS WON’T WORK: Effective Coercion and Brainwashing Tactics; Language of Non-thought, Sacred Science, Power of Shame, Guilt, Fear, and Dissociation Make Facts Void (Part 1)
Learn the Psychology behind what narcissists and toxic people use to brainwash others and What DOES WORK to stay free and get free.
To my Fellow Propagandists and Conspiracy Theorists and Conspiracy Revealers,
Why Facts Won’t Work and What Will: Part 1 (Split in 3 Parts)
Brainwashing is effective not because of facts and reality but because of the effective psychological tactics of fear, isolation, shame, guilt, language of non-thought, sacred science, dissociation, rewards for cooperation and conforming behavior, and brainwashing and coercing the most trusted group of people in many people’s minds - the doctors.
Brainwashing will not be undone because of facts. Facts are not where we start to bring people out of the “cult of covid” or any other cult-like propaganda. Of course, we need facts and data, BUT facts do not un-brainwash people - at least not at first. The people that came to know the truth because of facts and data, experience and reality, are already in the know. Enough data exists that if data and people’s stories are all that was needed to convince people of a certain viewpoint, then they would be convinced.
Many people pride themselves on being a “good judge of character” and have a hard time letting go of the idea that they can be “had” or misjudge or trust the wrong people or group. The truth is none of us are good judges of character. It actually depends on the acting skills of the person and their personality, our blind spots, our woundedness, traumas, fears, insecurities, experience or lack of experience, knowledge or lack of knowledge, and the speaker’s ability to present information, even if completely wrong, confidently. “Facts” spoken with confidence by a perceived authority figure is a blind spot that some people have and they will base their own beliefs on the other person’s confidence alone - along with a myriad of other reasons we tend to “believe” people. Anyone can be “had” or misjudge. Blind spots are blind spots.
Hopefully that knowledge will make us a little more compassionate toward people who truly believe their hero(s) is this amazing person or group, when to you, it’s obvious that they’re not. That person has different wounds, traumas, fears, insecurities and blind spots that make them vulnerable to different kinds of people and different kinds of games.
Are Doctors the Main Target?
The brainwashing of doctors started over a century ago, around 1910. Read this article for further information: John Rockefeller: How he took control over Modern Medicine. Persuasion, coercion, and brainwashing can be gradual. And alot of times in our modern society, it is under the guise of concern, safety, doing good, being merciful, and being a philanthropist. Coercion, if under the guise of concern, is seen as acceptable in our general society.
Dictator Joseph Stalin referred to coercion as “the prerequisite of persuasion” quoted by Bauer, in the article, Brainwashing: Psychology or Demonology? By Raymond A. Bauer (1957).
“Coercion can affect behavior, but what can persuade a man to change his beliefs? I have specifically called attention to the distinction between coercion and persuasion, and have also treated behavior and belief in the same way, because we habitually tend to take for granted that these concepts are in opposition to each other. By doing this, I have intended to set the stage for introducing the observation that in Communist techniques of indoctrination, coercion and persuasion, behavior and belief, tend to be come indistinguishable. In a recent brilliant article Paul Kecskemeti makes the very insightful point that the Communists seldom attempt serious indoctrination of a person until they have control over his behavior. Stalin referred to coercion as “the prerequisite of persuasion”.
“If an individual’s behavior can be controlled sufficiently and the information available to him manipulated to the degree that is possible in a totalitarian state, a prison, or an indoctrination camp, a remarkable amount of persuasion can be effected. When coercion or the threat of coercion is applied, the individual’s motivation to accommodate may make him a surprisingly willing collaborator in attempting to persuade himself. A striking earlier example of this in psychological literature is found in Bettelheim’s study of Nazi prison camps. Bettelheim reported that prisoners “identified with the aggressor”—adopting the behavior and beliefs of the camp guards.” (Bauer)
Bauer (1957) went onto to cite how those in totalitarian states or mindsets attempt to get others to believe in the cause in order to attempt to persuade themselves further and how those in such a state are scared they may accidentally tell someone their real thoughts or beliefs and be in trouble - so it felt safer to try to change their actual thoughts and beliefs to believe what they were supposed to rather than have their own set of beliefs and ideas that went against those in charge.
Isn’t it interesting the length we may go in our own minds - to manipulate even ourselves - in order to feel safe and be safe, if that is our goal?
If we aren’t free of coercion, persuasion becomes much easier. We all need to care about keeping free speech and body autonomy before we lose both. We cannot have courage for others, but we can show courage ourselves which may help others choose courage over fear.
Remember the famous Milgram Obedience Study experiment outcome by Yale University psychologist Stanley Milgram in 1974? An outcome that Milgram found in that study is that, “People are empowered to follow their conscience when they observe other people standing against the authority as well, despite what “authority” says to do.
Over the last few years, doctors, nurses, whistleblowers, and many other people have showed great courage and spoke out against authoritarian rule and lost their jobs and livelihoods in order to speak truth and stand against authority. We are forever grateful for those who already have come forward and those who continue to speak out.
In the book Propaganda by Edward Bernays (1928) which was hailed as “One of the 100 most important books in American history” by TIME magazine, Bernays helped influence the propagandists to be better at their job by imparting his understanding of people and their motivations. “If you can influence the leaders, either with or without their conscious cooperation, you automatically influence the group which they sway.”
He revealed that people do not have to be in physical groups - just feel that they are a member of that group…Like a member of the unselfish…doing their part for the greater good…
Bernays noted that people trust doctors and you must get them on board if you want to influence people; this is vital because salesman must understand the “psychological relation of dependence of men upon their physicians”.
Let’s consider the example of fluoride - which citizen groups just finished a 7-year trial against the EPA to prove in court that fluoride is neurotoxic - which has always been known, evidenced by the fact that fluoride is classified as a neurotoxin. Never was this chemical good for our brain or body. Even too much natural fluoride is harmful to us, but we let the government and our states and cities convince us that toxic Fluorosilicic acid should be added to our tap water - so that we would shower in the chemicals (through our skin is the best way to absorb fluorides) and drink the toxic chemical soup, believing this was good for us.
How did that happen? Dentists and the dental community recommended it. They taught us that “some” was good. Despite many doctors who studied fluoride and chronic fluoride poisoning and testifying under oath that adding this chemical is how you make a nation sick, not healthy, and despite what researchers and scientists found and warned about how this fluoride chemical compound was harmful to our bodies and brains, this toxic chemical has been added to our water for 79 years. 79 years and just now we are waiting on a verdict from the judge.
Every dentist and dental assistant that I have spoken to that has learned the dangers of fluoride, told me that they were never shown any science about it but since they were told by their professors, who they trusted, they just believed it. My dentist informed me that biological dentists use a 1/2 day in their conference to inform new members of the harm of fluoride to the brain and body. But he stated that most dentists are unaware of the dangers and will even viciously attack other dentists verbally for not supporting fluoride and the dental community will be against dentists who do not support fluoride. He said it’s dangerous for the career of a dentist to not support fluoride so even the dentists who know it’s harmful keep quiet, to keep their career and reputation in good-standing with the dental community.
What if a credible Doctor at the National Cancer Institute found out that fluoride caused cancer? They would get it out of the water then…right? Wrong.
Dr. Dean Burk Ph.D (34 years at the National Cancer Institute). Judicial hearing, January 14, 1982. Safe Water Foundation vs. City of Houston, District Court of Texas, Harris County, 151st Judicial District, 80-52271.
Why are most people still unaware of the fluoride issue or do not believe it affects them negatively? Because it does not affect them negatively immediately; Most fluoride poisoning is chronic - meaning it poisons over time, instead of immediately, unless someone is hypersensitive to it, like me, or has taken fluoroquinolone antibiotics. And who is aware of the symptoms of chronic fluoride poisoning?
When we go to the doctor with chronic fluoride poisoning symptoms, we will not be given a test for high fluoride levels in tissue or bone, because we do not have those tests in the United States. They do in India and other countries. So, we will not be diagnosed with chronic fluoride poisoning - we will be diagnosed with cancer, thyroid disorder, autoimmune disorder (any of them), Alzheimer’s/any neurodegenerative disorder, cognitive disorders, mental health disorders (especially depression, ADHD, and schizophrenia), osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, nerve damage, connective tissue disorders, craniosynostosis, bone diseases, rickets, immune system dysfunction, chronic fatigue syndrome, dental fluorosis, interstitial cystitis, kidney stones and kidney disease, respiratory disorders (including COPD and asthma), eczema, allergies, multiple chemical sensitivity, gut problems and digestive disorders, eye problems, hearing loss, hip problems, joint disorders, cartilage/ligament/tendon laxity, insomnia/sleep disorders, diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance and the list goes on…I encourage you to read the books and go to websites I have provided for further reading on the subject.

Fluoridation: The Great Dilemma
Vaccines, like fluoride, do not always harm Immediately (though they do sometimes). Since many vaccine injuries do NOT occur immediately and most people are unaware of the symptoms of vaccine injuries or damage, many people do not believe or are not aware that vaccine damage affects them. (If you are interested in learning about vaccines and possible injuries, visit National Vaccine Information Center).
That produces the same problem as the fluoride issue. Doctors, as well as all of us, hear that vaccines are safe and good, like they are supposed to hear, and then believe they are safe and good because something negative did not happen to them immediately. If something did happen immediately, they may still write it off as a coincidence if their trusted authority figure(s) doesn’t specifically say the problem is caused by the vaccine.
Some doctors simply do not know vaccine injury symptoms or damage and then cannot acknowledge vaccine injuries. Some maybe do know, but believe killing, damaging or injuring some babies and people is “for the greater good”.
For some doctors, they are in too deep to acknowledge injuries or damage by vaccines. Maybe, like the dentists, they know what they are supposed to support is hurting some people, but are too scared to lose their job, admit to what is going on, or go the “the other side” where they lose money, respect, security, position, and all those inner motivations that keep people going in the wrong direction even when they see it’s the wrong direction.
In this case, this is not a problem of a lack of correct facts and data, but of fear and maybe of narcissism. They’re comfort, happiness, and self preservation trumps any desire to help their fellow humans. They choose themselves at our expense. That is a choice. Not a lack of knowledge.
Shame, fear of not conforming and getting rewards for conforming or fear of punishment, losing credibility and reputation are STRONG motivators to stay ignorant. Facts and data will not work if coercion or persuasion worked.
The power of dissociation and other brainwashing tools are not well understood outside of the field of psychology. The book “The Nazi Doctors: Medical Killing and the Psychology of Genocide” by Dr. Robert Jay Lifton (1986), was written to understand why doctors didn’t speak out against eugenics and participated in killing when their job was to heal and help. I think we can gain some insight into why many doctors aren’t speaking out now.
“Nazification of the medical profession — a key aspect of the transition from sterilization to direct medical killing — was achieved by a combination of ideological enthusiasm and systematic terror…”(Lifton, 1986, P. 30)
ALSO, Narcissists - like those who currently want to have power and control over people’s body, free speech, and all other aspects of our lives- coerce, manipulate, disrespect, tear down, mock, scoff, insult and rage at those who want to operate in personal freedom, instead of being controlled.
If we want people to turn away from hurtful policies, propaganda, sickcare, fear, and control - using their narcissistic and toxic tactics will not work to get them back. These drive people deeper into dissociation.
We will go over what brainwashing is and how it’s done - and then go over some ways to un-brainwash people - which is not easy but can be done. The tools of brainwashing people are effective but not absolute - just like the tools to un-brainwash people. Some people may go to their grave believing the narcissist’s reality. We can all only do our best. Some people will see the light.
Tools to Brainwash:
Coercion - no surprise to anyone that this works - that’s why we have to fight legislation and mandates and coerced treatment protocols. If the law becomes “you have to do this or lose your access to money/income, career/business, food, clean water, social life, etc” then persuasion is MUCH easier.
Persuasion - People can be easily influenced by anyone or anything they believe is “higher” than them, whether that be doctors, a celebrity, an organization or group or community, someone in their personal life they believe is higher than them, the “science”, gods/goddesses or anyone or anything they believe is the highest source.
Dissociation - Mental Health America describes Dissociation as a “mental process that causes a lack of connection in a person’s thoughts, memory and sense of identity” and exists on a continuum. In satanic ritual abuse (torture and abuse - also was done by our CIA - I discuss this later) children are purposely abused to create several personalities; severe trauma can do this and we call it Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) (formerly called Multiple Personality Disorder). However, that is on the extreme end of dissociation. Also, in the reeducation or thought reform prisons in China (which I discuss later), dissociation was done to change someone’s beliefs and thoughts and personality. This is brainwashing.
Language of Non-Thought - thought terminating cliches (discussed later). Nonthought allows ideas to become popular because people are simply used to hearing and saying them and hearing those they trust say them, so believe they must be true - no need to think further about the topic or look into it. (Fluoride and vaccines are good examples of how this is used effectively).
Sacred Science - Dr. Lifton (discussed later) explained it as “exaggerated claim of airtight logic, of absolute "scientific" precision. Thus the ultimate moral vision becomes an ultimate science; and the man who dares to criticize it, or to harbor even unspoken alternative ideas, becomes not only immoral and irreverent, but also "unscientific." (Sound familiar, covid vaccines, anyone? Again, done effectively with fluoride also.)
Fear - may be physical fear (jail/prison/torture/dying/injury) but may also be fear of being an outcast, being called names, losing reputation, money, power, fame, love, respect, compassion/kindness, also may be in fear that if they do not conform to whatever is being pushed, they will not be treated as a person but a monster/animal/etc
Isolation - Number 1 most effective torture tool is isolation, as discovered by the CIA and Dr. Deikman who studied cults (both will be discussed later). In prison, solitary confinement is the strongest punishment for “bad” behavior.
Shame - “You are bad” or “you are being bad”, selfish, immature, irresponsible - any words that cause people to think badly of themselves or others. I discuss this later and how it was effectively used during covid.
Guilt - “After all that was done for you”, “After all I’ve done for you” “how could you not be grateful”, “Unvaxxed are killing people” - remember that one? Remember how if you didn’t get the vaccine, you were killing people’s grandmas? That was highly effective to persuade many to get the vaccines. Guilt about who you are and how you are affecting others is a highly useful brainwashing tool.
Need to Appear Cooperative and Conform (people-pleaser or lack of being an insider of the perceived authority group or personality/social position)
Rewards and Punishment (loss or gain of money, reputation, power, fame, respect, love/empathy, atttention/care/concern/sympathy). People have a deep desire to be seen, heard, understood, and validated. Taking away these needs is powerful.
God/Rituals. Appeal to a Higher Purpose; God as Lust, Power, Control, Punishment, Works/Deeds not Grace, No Individual Rights, Group is Most Important - Must Conform to Collective Under Human Authority Appointed by God (self-described as appointed by God). Witchcraft, sorcery, magic, drugs/poisons/spells, appealing to entities, gods, goddesses, authorities, powers, rulers, demons, satan - all acting in the lesser power (but still powerful) realm of evil.
Child. Regressed adults; treated as children who need to be told what to think, say, do, believe. Choosing personal identity is taught as bad. Only the adults (those in authority) have the right to tell you who you are and what you should believe and what you need to do and think. Acting as an adult is punished. Adults wanting “to be taken care of” - which is a childlike response to danger and puts people into a regressed state - is one of the main reasons people are able to be brainwashed in a cult, Deikman found (discussed later).
Do Not Trust Your Intuition/Internal Wisdom. When people trust their intuition, they are trusting a holy source, a wisdom beyond human understanding. Narcissists need people to NOT trust their internal wisdom and instead rely on “facts” and “data” that they choose or have manipulated to appear to be facts and data. “Trust the science” often means trust the data and facts that we have chosen and manipulated.
Tools to Un-Brainwash:
Love. If this sounds like fluff to you, imagine the movements that Jesus Christ and Martin Luther King Jr and others were able to start, based on the highest energy - the power of love. Martin Luther King Jr was successful because he advocated love. He was killed. Jesus Christ is successful because he advocates love. He was killed. (And if you’re Christian, believe he rose again and we are saved because of him). Why KILL people advocating LOVE if it isn’t powerful and doesn’t work to change people’s minds? Love works because love is the most powerful energy that exists.
Courage. Seeing others speak and act in courage, even at the cost of all that is important to them, even to death.
Jesus/Prayer. Appeal to God as Love and Justice and about Personal Freedom and Choice, Body Autonomy, Part of a Community but with Individual Rights, Grace not Works/Deeds (All things taught by Jesus Christ), Jesus as the Highest Authority with No Human Replacement/or Stand-In, Bible is the Word of God/Jesus/Authority (Old Testament written in Hebrew and New Testament in Greek - translations in English can be different in some places or not completely understand - so may need to listen to preacher/teacher who speaks or reads original language so intended meaning is accurate). The Bible teaches that prayer to Jesus affects people and can affect change. Prayer is acting in the most powerful realm of love.
I believe Yahweh/God, the Hebrew God, who is 1 entity but 3 parts, Holy Spirit/Jesus/God is the only true God and the rest are created beings trying to be gods/goddesses - and following any of them leads away from Jesus, humankind’s only savior. The Hebrew God teaches love for all, compassion, mercy, kindness, grace, justice is in Him, judgement is not people’s job but His, personal freedom/free will/free choice, and care for all human beings. Which God or gods or authority someone follows is really important because that decides how we treat other human beings. Later I write a section on why Nazi’s decided they had to get rid of what they termed “Christian compassion” taught by Jesus to be successful.
However, we must be wary of cults pretending to be Christian and unfortunately many churches are not following Jesus’ teachings even though they claim to be Christian. Many people have been hurt in churches. Church does not always represent Jesus well. Some do better than others. Community in a loving church with other believers in Jesus can be wonderful or awful, depending on the church and the people in it. People are just people and there will be narcissists running churches or groups in the churches in about any church that exists. Seeing a church or a Christian person operate does not always give Jesus a good name. But some people are really trying hard to live and love like Jesus. I recommend finding that kind of church and then finding people in the church who are also trying to live and love like Jesus, remembering that in any church, you will come across narcissistic and toxic people.
Here is a post I wrote for more information:
Speak Truth to Doctors. Appeal to doctors to come forward. If can un-brainwash doctors, then un-brainwashing people who think so highly of that group, will be easier to un-brainwash. Bernays was accurate in that getting doctors on board is necessary for propaganda for many people. Doctors and others may listen when they feel loved and respected by the person speaking to them. Eventually, you may get the opportunity to show them FACTS and DATA. But focus on the kindness and respect (love) and relationship with the person, first.
Adult: Personal Identity, Personal Power, Personal Freedom. Jesus teaches that we were made to have personal identity, choices, decisions, and act on those as an adult. Jesus told us to grow into maturity, not regress into childlike needs of being taken care of, told what to do or what to think.
Trust Your Intuition/Internal Wisdom. We all have intuition and God-given internal wisdom - but we need to access the wisdom through prayer in Jesus name, especially when lies are abundant and we do not know a-lot about a subject. We all mess this up from time to time and pay the consequences; ignore the sense that something is not “right” or does not seem good for us or someone we love or ignore red flags or a sense to do or not do something.
Because of trauma, dissociation, and other wounds, some people no longer have immediate access to their intuition and instead they decide they cannot trust themselves and need to trust someone else in “authority”. Counseling to heal trauma, wounds, and recover “self” may be needed so someone can start trusting their intuition and internal wisdom again and not be easy prey for narcissists and toxic people.
Science changes, is proved wrong, and is easily manipulated - which is why “trust the science” is not good advice. Many things that have been thought to be good, turned out bad, and right, turned out wrong. Science is not God. God created science and we, as humans, do not understand science - we are trying to understand it and sometimes failing miserably.
