We Need to Arm Ourselves Against the Dangerous Effects of Propaganda – Here’s How We Can Make a Start

“If those in charge of our society – politicians, corporate executives, and owners of press and television can dominate our ideas, they will be secure in their power.  They will not need soldiers patrolling the streets.  We will control ourselves,” Howard Zinn.

Video: Introduction to Propaganda by Academy of Ideas

The purpose of the above video is to examine propaganda and communicate information which will hopefully enable individuals to arm themselves against its dangerous effects.

Propaganda can be defined as a type of persuasion tactic which displays three general characteristics:

Firstly, propaganda is deliberately made by an individual or group of individuals – called the propagandist – for the purpose of manipulating individuals into adopting certain ideas and behaviours.

Secondly, propaganda never presents an issue in a clear and unbiased manner.  Instead, propaganda attempts to present one side of an issue as if it were an absolute truth.

Finally, propaganda tends to use psychological manipulation tactics and to play on the emotions and prejudices of individuals – so as to convince them that the idea, action or attitude they adopted was one they chose through their own personal volition.  This last feature of propaganda is what can make it especially dangerous.

When war is declared, truth is the first victim.” – Falsehood in War-Time, Arthur Ponsonby, 1928

The Soviet dissident Vaclav Hoval, who later became the first president of the Czech Republic after the collapse of the Soviet Union, reccomended setting up alternative structures within tyrannical systems to provide a safe haven for the oppressed. This site is one. Here is another – with two more great videos from After Skool. https://secularheretic.substack.com/p/to-nursing-students-and-health-care

“Even so, a key issue is that the current vaccines block severe disease but do not prevent infection, said Dr. Gregory Poland, a vaccine scientist at the Mayo Clinic. That is because the virus is still capable of replicating in the nose, even among vaccinated people, who can then transmit the disease through tiny, aerosolized droplets”
Reuters – what my free salt water cure stops.

The Achilles Heel of Coronavirus, is while it is still in the developing stage as Coronavirus/Covid in the warm, wet areas inside the nasal passages of your head (nose) and before it gets to become Covid in your head and lungs, 10 to 14 days later. If Coronavirus is not treated with my free salt clean water cure to flush out your nasal passages, as soon as possible, or during self isolation, it becomes Covid, which is where the money is. You cannot catch Covid! Always breathe through your nose and keep your mouth shut, because you really don’t want the Coronavirus to seed itself in your lungs!! My free salt water cure has “absolutely nothing” to do with mRNA test vaccines. Treating Coronavirus with my free salt clean water cure, flushes out the nasal cavity and kills Coronavirus, before it gets to be Covid, irrespective of if you have had mRNA vaccines or not. Mix one heaped teaspoon of salt in a mug of warm or cold clean water, cup a hand and pour some of the solution in, then sniff or snort that mugful up into your nose, spitting out everything which comes down into your mouth, by so doing, you flush out your nasal cavity, where Coronavirus lives. If you get a burning sensation (which lasts for 2-3 minutes) then you have a Coronavirus infection.When the soreness goes away, blow out your head with toilet paper and flush away, washing your hands afterwards and continue doing my salt clean water nasal cavity flush cure, morning, noon and night, or more often, if you want, until, when you do my free salt water cure, you don’t experience any soreness at all in your nasal cavity. While you are at it, swallow a couple of mouthfulls and if you get a burning sensation in your chest, then you are killing the Covid/Bronchitis there too, so keep it up, each time you do a salt water sniffle, until the soreness in your head and lungs goes away – job done. Pour some of the solution on a flat surface and allow to dry and see what you have then. This is what coats the nasal passages in your head and kills Coronavirus/Covid off. You can see why it is so effective. This is what I have done for the past 26.5 years and I am NEVER ill, nor do you need to be either.
Please pass it around to everyone who wants to give it a try.

He added that “Current vaccines are great at preventing [CO1] serious infection deep in the lungs, but not at blocking infection in the upper airways. What’s needed is a nasal-spray (vaccine) that would stop the coronavirus from taking hold at all.” – what my free salt water cure does and stops.

Keep safe. Richard

The Common Purpose controlled British Army is at war with the British people.
77th Brigade specializes in military-grade mind control and manipulation. Behavioral modification.
And its 453 “soldiers” are targeting us.
Their mission is social engineering, promoting the woke agenda, making us conform.
They are all over social media. On here, Facebook, Twitter, Gab, etc.
in addition to the behavioral scientists of SAGE and the Behavioural Insights Team.

77 BRIGADE ON COVID 19 – 22 APR 2020
We’ve been involved in helping the Foreign Office with repatriations and supporting our overseas territories, where we have security advisory teams deployed now in several of them, and of course, we’ve deployed ships, HMS Argus, to do just that. And we’ve been involved with the Cabinet Office Rapid Response Unit, with our 77 Brigade helping to quash rumors from misinformation, but also to counter disinformation.
Between 3,000 and 4,000 of our people have been involved with around 20,000 available the whole time at high readiness.

Apart from them, the 77 Brigade, the EU was looking for and probably hired 450.000 volunteers – trusted voices – to lead the narrative. It was news months ago. As one of the common language is English I guess they are also everywhere for the same purpose.

Just a Reminder about the Pandemic
Just a reminder… a genuinely deadly pandemic doesn’t require 24/7 advertising to remind you it exists. Real pandemics don’t need marketing campaigns and endless propaganda… but, psychological operations do.

Global Financial Reset: Are you awake? This is the biggest transfer of wealth in human history happening right now. They want you to focus on the plandemic while they reset the financial system. https://greatawakening.world/reset1
