Today on MindMatters we look at the limits of obedience to authority (with reference to Christopher Browning's book Ordinary Men, and Philip Zimbardo's Lucifer Effect). These facts about human nature may be depressing, but they also offer the way out by providing the motivation to prepare for the future, now. Without a bit of self-knowledge, there is no guarantee you will not be just another miserable cell in the collective mob. But with it, there's at least a chance of hope that you can resist, and that others will be inspired to follow suit.

There's a guy online who analyzes shootings and assaults etc. from surveillance cameras and he's really good. It's called 'Active Self Protection' [Link] and he provides tips of what was done right, what was done wrong in the particular surveillance video that's he's analyzing. If you carry a firearm, it is really helpful to make one think about things that you should think about. Routinely, he also talks about how you should envision (not too much of course) what you would do if you found yourself in such a situation, and he talks about how some people would rather die than be raped, some not. For him, he states he'd never let a robber tie him up - right then, it's do or die time. His particular analysis and decision about that in particular applies to my life also. *
Here's a typical one (not violent, either.) [Link]
*Ain't going sideways into when cops handcuff you; generally, not fighting such is a good idea, but what if the second that they get you cuffed, you're going to get jabbed?
Applying that approach to enforced EGT/'vax', before I'll allow myself to get cuffed by the vax pigs, I'll probably treat it as if they were about to literally shoot me.

Here's a good analysis good approach but with a violent end. [Link] As he says, that robber took the room temperature challenge.

This is, of course, my own satire but a good example of the kind of lawmaking happening in Australia and elsewhere. Replace faecies with masks and the rest is the same. Governments are JMSU (just making shit up), then making it law to believe and live according to their bullshit lies and fraud, then giving unquestionable authority to paramilitary organisations ... i mean civilian police ... to enforce belief in the BS on the penalty of insane fines and/or imprisonment.
I read Psalm 58 today, though. That gave me a huge smile.
Psalm 58
To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Miktam of David.
Do you indeed decree what is right, you mighty rulers? Do you judge the children of man uprightly?
No, in your hearts you devise wrongs; your hands deal out violence on earth.
The wicked are estranged from the womb; they go astray from birth, speaking lies.
They have venom like the venom of a serpent, like the deaf adder that stops its ear, so that it does not hear the voice of charmers or of the cunning enchanter.
O God, break the teeth in their mouths; tear out the fangs of the young lions, O LORD!
Let them vanish like water that runs away; when he aims his arrows, let them be blunted.
Let them be like the snail that dissolves into slime, like the stillborn child who never sees the sun.
Sooner than your pots can feel the heat of thorns, whether green or ablaze, may he sweep them away!
The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance; he will bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked.
Mankind will say, “Surely there is a reward for the righteous; surely there is a God who judges on earth.”
The best report I found was at ZeroHedge . [Link] If you click the Twitter links, you see protests in Ireland, UK, Toronto, Amsterdam, Finland, Japan, Paris, Italy, and, at last, Australia with protests in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane today!
Congratulations, citizens!!!
No, tyrannts!! We will not "accept" the jab!!
Which is why the French reaction parzival posted above was so refreshing! The French cops tried the same strategy and got pummeled for it. I would have dearly loved to see the entire video. People need to realize that, when they act as a large group ready to knock out any brutality they see, they are unstoppable . They have the numbers. They have the strength.
1. The article claims "we see that at the end appears the name of a person of Chinese nationality, the one who patented this with the date of application April 12, 2012." I read both the original patent (in Korean) and the English translation and found only one name on the document, which was at the top (김한식 - Kim Han Sik). Perhaps they refer to another document dated 2012, but they did not supply this document for verification. (I can also identify Chinese so if there was a scrap of Hanja in that Korea document I would have seen it straight away)
2. The assertion that Kim Han Sik (김한식) = Ferry Disaster Guy is also questionable. Kim (김) is the most popular surname in Korea (equivalent in prevalence, but not meaning, to English Smith ). Han Sik (한식) is an old name which is not common amongst the younger generation of Koreans, but is shared by more people in Korea than the Spanish La Quinta Columna team asserts. E.g. I was able to find this religious debate between Pastor Kim Han Sik and Pastor Jeon Gwang Hoon [Link] So while it is possible that the patent might be in the name of the Ferry Disaster tycoon, that needs to be demonstrated and not assumed.
3. If Kim Han Sik is the patent holder for this medical technique, then it it increases the possibility that the whole patent is fraudulent. Kim Han Sik has been in prison since 2014 since the Sewol ferry capsized, killing 304 (including 250 high school students on an excursion). I do not think patent law permits felons to apply for a patent while they are imprisoned. So if Kim Han Sik the dodgy ferry operator is the actual owner of this patent, it is likely to be a fake. If another Kim Han Sik is intended, La Quinta Columna is found in a fair amount of error.
Always good to critique yourself, eh!

Matthew Ehret states; "In this presentation delivered to Dr. Reiner Fuellmich's Coronavirus Investigation Committee hearings, I introduced the roots of the Great Reset Agenda by jumping back in time 100 years and evaluating the growth of eugenics leading into WW2 as a "scientific miracle solution" to saving the world.
If you are not aware of the role of Anglo-American financiers and industrialists who brought Hitler to power, or Franklin Roosevelt's combat with those same forces then promoting a "Great Reset" bankers dictatorship as the supposed solution to the great depression, or if you are not aware of the fact that those same forces that brought fascism into the world in the first place, avoided all punishment during the Nuremburg Tribunals while regrouping into a new modus operandi after 1945, then this lecture is for you."
I think instead of redline I would have chosen moral compass. When you're fighting evil, what are you standing for?
Also by using redline, it tends to evoke our lower fight/flight nature or fear. What we want to evoke is our higjet nature, courage, values, goodness.
How are people today making choices to wear masks or take the jab? In my view, the key is belief and trust in the words and direction of "expert authority" figures regardless of personal feelings or thoughts. The authority figure is "truth". Perhaps for children and young teens it is parents that tell them the jab is right. We need to teach questioning.
If you look at the experiments discussed, it is this same belief and trust in authority. There is also probably a degree of "I agreed to this experiment", and one wants to appear as one "I" not many as Gurdjieff described. This is lying to oneself.
In the case of the "pandemic" I plan to choose based on science, not MSM approved science. I choose not to buy Coke because they espouse "woke". I choose not to support MSM and entertainment that promotes fear, hate, CRT, etc. I choose to support spiritual beliefs because they bring light and life to me.
With other commenters I celebrate the protesters around the world who stand for freedom and choice. They are freeing themselves from belief in authority experts.
In the case of the Stanford experiment, the prisoners and guards wear new masks of identity.
I would like to see a review of the psychological affects of mask wearing on identity.
I think that if the various governments tried to implement a covid lockdown or some other in the 80s or 90s, the public would not buy it at all. Today, the woke crowd are begging for all manner of totalitarian measures.
In 1937, fed up, Landmesser attempted to flee Nazi Germany to Denmark with his family. But he was detained at the border and charged with "dishonoring the race," or "racial infamy," under the Nuremberg Laws. August Landmesser in 1935. Wikipedia A year later, Landmesser was acquitted for a lack of evidence and was instructed to not have a relationship with Eckler.RC
After his prison sentence, Landmesser worked a few jobs before he was drafted into war in 1944. A few months later, he was declared missing in action in Croatia.

... as things continue to get worse culturally and politically...hmm. where i live things are still pretty normal. where is it that "things" are worsening?
how can one deside if something is worsening or not - politically and culturally?
hmm, well. the majority, they are morons? (compared to you? ).
Open your eyes, put 2 and 2 together. Down a couple of whiskeys if that's how you can handle it (I did), but accept it so that we can finally get to a solution. Yes, we've arrived there. It is happening , right here, right now.
We're not an exception to history. They re-engineered everything, replacing all the 20th century blemishes (barbed wire, striped pajamas, guard towers, gas chambers) with sleek 21st century features that appeal to the customer mindset. You have an army of morons in white coats who went for a worthless MD because of $$$, who now think they're doing the right thing. And they've gotten you to voluntarily take poison. A bio-weapon. They didn't need a camp, a train, barking German shepherds, no scary business. All they needed to do was to appeal to our hedonistic, childish desire for pleasure, comfort and unconditional safety.
BTW, spent over 2 hrs last night reading post after post from people in the medical professions themselves who are now stricken with all kinds of maladies and disabilities. Many were forced against their will by their employers. It was 1000s of medical professionals all over the world. They are mad, fearful and are wanting answers. Many are scared to even think of having to endure a second vax, scared of now catching 'covid' with weakened immune systems. It was a sad read.
This is just the tip of the iceberg of what is coming down the pike as it was just one board and one profession. These vaxxed people are in some deep trouble and we have to get this madness stopped somehow. Its going to take us all to come together to do it as one for the sake of humanity especially for our children. The evidence is just piling up more and more every day in and its not trivial by orders of magnitude.
Do we really want to keep living this way? Well, not for long if psychopaths have their way...
Karen Kingston, a former Pfizer employee and current analyst for the pharmaceutical and medical device industries, came forward with indisputable documentation that should be shared with the ENTIRE WORLD!Dr. Jane Ruby has a show with InfoWars, and I saw a vid with her today interviewing a whistleblower who is a physical therapist working in a wellness center. The whistleblower says the numbers of vaxxed injuries are staggering. The doctors and other health practitioners who have been vaxxed simply attribute all the cases they're now seeing as a "spate." They are in complete denial. The unvaxxed are much more cognizant. She says these people they are now treating received the injection in February or March. Right on schedule, isn't it? Remember Dr. Tenpenny et al. telling us that within 4-10 months we would begin seeing some tremendous damage? Cs and others also warned us that these damaged people would be passed off as unvaxxed...which Biden and his coherts are definitely doing.
The inoculation being referred to as 'COVID Vaccines' is a poisonous death sentence, and nobody should subject themselves to the shots.
The whistleblower also points to another disturbing situation. Do you know that, if you go into a clinic for any reason, the doctor may very well write a "standing order" for you to receive a Covid injection before you're released? The video is contained in the article, which is very short. [Link]
I can't be the only person to have thought of this. Aren't there cheap voice masking technologies that folks like Dr. Ruby could use? I know that there are voiceprints and if you know that P.T. lady, you'd know it was her by her voice. I'd not at all be surprised if she suffered repercussions for coming forward.
Anyone?
