Cogni-Covid Dissonance

actions speak first, beliefs follow

Thank you to my new and returning subscribers! My purpose in my YouTube and Substack is to teach myself something new by puzzling out what doesn’t add up for me. Therefore, the video and blog have overlap but aren’t redundant because the conversation I start in one progresses in the other. Whether you watch, listen or read, I’m honored that you’re giving me your attention with all the worthy content on the internet. I hope you respond and we teach each other something new.

Video description: As repercussions from the vaccine become more evident, denial and hostility are still on the rise. Why? I look at how belief follows behavior in what psychologists term cognitive dissonance, and how this has been used to turn us against one another and against the evidence of our own experience. I give three personal examples of this and analyze my failure to change anyone's mind.

The question I’d like to ask, to better understand this resistance, is “What would it mean if there was a relationship between [your cancer, your amputations, your loved one’s death] and the vaccine?” The answer, I think, could show us why it’s so difficult for people of intelligence and integrity to see the connection, once they’ve been tricked or coerced into being vaccinated.

I look at what this means for the Great Reset’s twin agendas of dispossession and depopulation (you will own nothing and there will be fewer of you), which Matt Ehret and William Engdahl show to be decades in the making through their histories of The Club of Rome. I address the documentary Died Suddenly and give the filmmakers credit that asking if the afflicted or deceased was vaccinated is not easy even when—or especially if—there is a personal relationship.

Cognitive dissonance means that there is a disconnect between a person’s behavior and their belief about who they are that’s reconciled by not seeing. These blind spots have been demonstrated to be literal and dramatic, when something that doesn’t fit is in front of the person’s face and it never registers. It’s why behavior modification works, and ‘fake it ‘til you make it,’ when a person acts braver or more competent than they feel until their positive experience leads them to change their mind about themselves. Cognitive dissonance can be used for good or evil.

In my last episode, The Caret System, I talked about how I used a system of bribes and threats to trick my kids into becoming competent at cleaning the house, for instance. Their friends think they just enjoy cleaning, that it’s just who they are, that’s how they were born. But my best trick as a mom is that if you can get a kid to do something right, and they can’t squirm, plead or negotiate out of it, their self-image will catch up and they’ll come to identify with it.

But this same trick has been used against us in the most sinister way I can imagine, and I feel certain it’s intentional. For some of us who are old enough to remember, we’ve been going through the motions of safety-through-obedience since hiding under our desks from atomic bombs. No thinking person, child or adult, would be reassured by that, yet an entire generation mimicked stop, drop and roll for nuclear armageddon.

We’ve gone through the obedience training of TSA under the elitist assumption that those other people would do what no person paying for TSA pre-check would. No Middle-Eastern surnames need apply? We’ve obediently shuffled out of our shoes, dumped water bottles, radiated our internal organs. Mothers, that suspicious lot, left baby bottles behind. The business class strolled past feeling superior to the peons.

All these were trial balloons for the Covid-Hindenburg of psy-ops. Every paper mask should have had ‘obedience trainee’ printed on it. As a visible sign of fear, it stopped all face-to-face communication, even nonverbal. People were isolated, businesses were subjected to the ‘Simon Says’ of day-to-day changes in the lockdown, as the excellent documentary Battleground Melbourne put it. And everything led up to the vaccine.

What’s the connection between the words innocuous and inoculate? Wikipedia clarifies that ‘inoculate’ comes from horticulture and grafting the eye (ocula) of one plant onto another. But the perception that inoculation is not harmful (nocuus) is so strong that it’s often spelled with two n’s. We’ve been inoculated with the belief that vaccines are safe literally since we were born. We’ve gone through the action already, creating cognitive dissonance with any subsequent evidence it could be harmful.

Fast-forward to the present with cognitive dissonance on steroids. Over eighty percent of people in ‘developed’ countries have complied with at least one Covid shot, most eagerly. For this vast majority, they have already put their money—which is to say their health—where their mouths are. Seeing any evidence that the Covid shot is causing cancers, palsies, blood clots or sudden deaths would cause intense fear.

But for those who have already experienced these things for themselves or their loved ones, the stakes are unbearably high. To see a connection with the vaccine would mean this terrible thing didn’t just happen, wasn’t just bad luck. It would mean it had been done to them, and worse, with their consent. Sometimes even with their ridicule and rejection of those who hadn’t gone along with it. That kind of cruel karma isn’t what I’d wish on anyone.

For the heartbreaking stories that have affected me directly, see the video. For myself, there’s no doubt that this is planned and intentional, down to the cognitive dissonance they knew would hide the evidence even when it started stacking up. For a longer historical view, Matt Ehret has an excellent article on The Club of Rome and the Rise of the “Predictive Modeling” Mafia. One subsection is on Neil Ferguson’s role in the Imperial College and his repeated efforts to fan the flames of a pandemic panic, in which he finally succeeded.

Since I posted this, Meryl Nass has published F. William Engdahl’s article on The Dark Origins of the Davos Great Reset from Global Research. We need validation from multiple sources that this isn’t just a sloppy grab for quick profits but a well-engineered, coldblooded, multigenerational plan to cull humanity that recognizes no material or ethical limit to its own power.

With a heavy heart, I believe that there is no way to ‘wake people up’ or stop this train until it crashes. But crash it will, of that I’m certain. When it does, what’s the world you want to offer to the dazed and disillusioned survivors stepping out of the twisted wreckage? That time will come, whether we will it or not, so we might as well be ready.

For more on the nefarious goal, here’s The Reset’s Three Agendas:

What are the ends and means of The Great Reset? I define them as dispossession through economics and monopolies, depopulation through military and medical, and psychological manipulation through education and media. I look at what our purpose is as societies, communities and families, and how we can measure whether their agenda or our purpose is succeeding. I explain why our existing system is the worst of both worlds because banks create the money but leave government to care for the people. To reverse the flow of predatory capital, three co-existing economies are proposed: a subsistence economy for self-reliance, a trade economy for reciprocity, and a gift economy for creativity and pure joy.

and for more details on the means, this is The Cancer CoVax Connection:

Examines the Turbo Cancers and resurgences of cancers in remission related to the Covid ‘vaccine.’ Looks at promising intravenous Vit C therapy being done by Dr. Nathan Goodyear. Begins with the spiritual context of A Course in Miracles as the only alternative to "God is cruel' or 'the world is cruel.' Differentiates between miracles and magical thinking, including Barbara Ehrenreich's Bright-Sided on the dark side of positive thinking. Delves into the psychology of obedience and authority in response to life-threatening illness, and whether the body controls the mind or vice-versa.
