While the 885 fake websites were not established to influence public opinion, today, the U.S. government sponsors thousands of journalists worldwide for precisely this purpose. Earlier this year, the Trump administration’s decision to pause funding to USAID inadvertently exposed a network of more than 6,200 reporters working at nearly 1,000 news outlets or journalism organizations who were all quietly paid to promote pro-U.S. messaging in their countries.
Oksana Romanyuk, director of the Ukrainian Institute for Mass Information, warned that nearly 90% of her country’s media outlets rely on funding from USAID to survive. A survey of 20 leading media organizations in Belarus revealed that 60% of their budget came from Washington. In Iran, more than 30 anti-government groups came together for a crisis response meeting, while in Cuba and Nicaragua, anti-government press resorted to soliciting donations from readers.
The CIA has also successfully infiltrated the largest and most popular social media networks, giving the agency substantial control over what the world sees (and does not see) in their news feeds.
Facebook has hired dozens of former CIA officials to run its most sensitive operations. Perhaps the most notable of these individuals is Aaron Berman.
As the platform’s senior misinformation manager, Berman ultimately has the final say over what content is promoted and what is demoted or deleted from Facebook. Yet, until 2019, Berman was a high-ranking CIA officer, responsible for writing the president’s daily security brief. It was at that time that he jumped ship from Langley to Facebook, despite appearing to have little relevant professional experience.
Google, if anything, is even more saturated with former spies.
I doubt the idea of this is new to readers of this site. The article above provides a concise overview of how some of the spying and mind-control has been done, both domestically and abroad. Well-worth a quick read. ABN
FIML works with the shared knowledge of two people; knowledge that both partners agree on.
FIML works with small bits of knowledge to avoid jumping mistakenly into false belief, justification, or truth as these words are used in the video above.
In this way, FIML is working with both primary subjective and primary objective knowledge, turning them into agreed upon better subjective and objective knowledge (since both agree).
Doing FIML frequently, clears up mistaken beliefs, justifications, and truths by clearing up basic subjective and objective knowledge mistakes.
I have only just heard of Williamson, but the messy knowledge basis of interpersonal relations has been clear to me for many decades.
When partners compare their subjective knowledge of self and each other, they correct their false knowledge and replace it with much better knowledge.
Basic FIML works with bits of language and semiotics that are small enough for both partners to distinctly remember in real-time and agree on what they are.
A huge advantage of working with small bits of knowledge is self-correction is fairly easy. And also its effects on meso and macro kinds of knowledge happen through autocatalytic expansion into those regions.
Everything changes when lots of little bits of knowledge are cleared up and made better. The insights expand throughout the mind.
FIML does not tell you what to think. It is a method for working with what you know or can know or thought you knew but maybe were wrong or right.
FIML’s truths, once realized, are psychological, existential, philosophical and spiritual. ABN
The survey asked participants how often they felt optimistic about the future, useful, relaxed, had dealt with problems well, had thought clearly, felt close to others and were able to make up their own minds when required.
What the researchers found was that those who experienced verbal abuse as children were 1.64 times more likely to report poor mental well-being as adults. Meanwhile, individuals exposed to physical abuse were 1.52 times more likely to have compromised mental health later in life, and those who experienced both verbal and physical maltreatment were 2.15 times more likely to have negative mental health outcomes.
There’s a growing body of evidence that demonstrates how verbal and emotional abuse in childhood has long-term impacts, even changing the brain as it’s developing. Nonetheless, it’s often viewed as less harmful than other forms of maltreatment. In this study, the researchers found that while physical abuse had decreased – from around 20.2% of children born in the 1970s to 10% of those born in 2000 or later – verbal abuse has steadily increased.
Mind-control is a paramount form of verbal abuse, both by what it forces us to say and what it forbids us to say.
We all know the abusiveness of the silent treatment; mind-control uses the silent treatment very often.
They won’t say it and neither can you, so silence spreads like a psycholinguistic contagion.
Some even believe silence is a sign of maturity, so they succumb proudfully.
Early, middle and late education is also rife with mind-control verbal abuse. They even test your levels of indoctrination.
Intelligent humans are highly susceptible to psycholinguistic mind-control and semiotic hypnosis.
A medical setting is but one example of semiotic hypnosis, and it includes medical personnel. Schools are similar, and there are many other examples. ABN
Nearly two-thirds of Germans would “probably not” defend their homeland from invaders, a survey has found, in a blow to the government’s rearmament plans.
In a survey carried out for RND, a German broadcaster, 59 per cent of respondents said they were “probably” or “definitely” unwilling to defend the country from an attack.
Only 16 per cent of Germans were “definitely” willing to take up arms to defend Germany, while 22 per cent said they would “probably” do it.
WASHINGTON, Aug 4 (Reuters) – The Trump administration on Monday reversed course on requiring U.S. cities and states to rebuke boycotts of Israeli companies in order to receive disaster funds, according to a statement, and deleted the earlier policy from its website.
The Department of Homeland Security removed its statement, opens new tab that said states must certify they will not sever “commercial relations specifically with Israeli companies” to qualify for the funding.
Reuters reported on Monday that the language applied to at least $1.9 billion that states rely on to cover search-and-rescue equipment, emergency manager salaries and backup power systems, among other expenses, according to 11 agency grant notices reviewed by Reuters.
This is a shift for the administration of President Donald Trump, which has previously tried to penalize institutions that don’t align with its views on Israel or antisemitism.
This flap reveals a rough societal border between Jewish Supremist control of USA and how far they can go. It also shows that strong public opinion openly expressed can and does push back against JS censorship. ABN
I am reposting this so it can get more views. I had time last night and this morning to watch the entire video. It’s well-worth the time as it will provide a very convincing way of understanding global and national economics, war and geopolitics. ABN
UPDATE: Central banks are the single greatest control mechanism of human behavior. Their power extends well beyond their relations with other banks. It determines a lot of what happens in your country. And they are not under the control of voters. So its an extrademocratic institution which happens to be the most powerful[~2:04].
The above is Carlson’s paraphrase of a major point made by Werner, who then continues by saying, ‘the founding of the bank of England, which is a private company, a central bank, was done in order to wage war. Central banking and warfare are very closely linked’.
The US Federal Reserve is no different; it is also a central bank and was founded at roughly the same time as the Bank of England in order to prepare for WW1.
Moreover, both countries established the income tax at this time. The income tax ‘allows’ government to borrow money from the central banks.
Werner presents the strongest and clearest argument I have heard that central banks start wars and profit from them; and that central banks cause asset bubbles (e.g. real estate, equities) in order to bust small banks and consolidate power.
You can jump to the ~2:04 time stamp to hear this, and if that’s all the time you have, definitely do it.
Best is to listen to the entire interview as Werner provides a great deal of important background with many other insights into money, banking, credit and how to do all of that much better than allow a central bank to have secretive, authoritative control over your country. ABN
Trump reposting this is an example of de-indoctrination or deprogramming.
It is the opposite of manipulative mind-control.
The image and words above move the Overton Window while preparing Americans to fully comprehend the gravity of the coup d’état against Trump and the American people.
Deprogramming them, disabusing them of the Russia Hoax, frees their minds from decades of Obamaesque mind-control.
Other terms for the process of freeing the mind of unconscious programming are cognitive deconditioning, cognitive liberationor restoration of critical-thinking.
There is a Buddhist angle on this in the sense that our minds are liberated when they free themselves from illusions like the Russia Collusion Delusion.
Of course, Buddhism takes this process much further, as spiritual delusion can occur on all levels of mind, not just politics.
Nirvana, an ancient Buddhist term, is the ultimate absence of all delusion.
If you can see how all of this fits together, you already have a very good sense of what Buddhist practice entails. ABN

Bioweapons are most effective over long periods of time, while simultaneously being largely unrecognizable to most people.
Victory in a bioweapon war requires administering the poison and then waiting.
The perps will want to maintain their anonymity, such as it is today, because then their enemy will not even fight back.
The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting. By deception do war.
We can guess which countries were targeted by which countries took the bioweapon at the highest rates.
We can guess who the perps are by which countries or organizations did not take the bioweapon OR which countries or organizations do not succumb to the bioweapon OR which countries or organizations pretend they took the bioweapon and pretend they are succumbing to the bioweapon by fudging their statistics.
Perps can also be approximately identified by their roles in making the bioweapon and promoting it to targeted nations and regions.Expect that kind of evidence to include infiltrators and traitors. ABN
