  • MINDSPACE: evidence of how global Nudge Units weaponised behavioural science against New Zealanders

    MINDSPACE: evidence of how global Nudge Units weaponised behavioural science against New Zealanders
    2025/12/22
    In the ongoing effort to raise awareness amongst the general public of the ways that globally, governments moved in lockstep during the covid era, to coerce and gaslight the population into compliance, here is another of my presentations - this was the result of an invitation from NZDSOS. This one-hour run-down of the UK Nudge Unit’s MINDSPACE report to Government, provides examples of how their psyops strategies were applied in practice to our own population. The result of this widespread propaganda was pure fear which led to mass-compliance with the Government overreach.The horrific propaganda piece ‘rap’ that I played in the presentation, is also available in all its glory here:IMPORTANT NOTICE!This will be my final post exclusively on Substack, before I move next year onto a new platform, that is independent from totalitarian policies experiences by those in Australia, UK, Canada and elsewhere.

  • Interview (36m): Broken Academia, Captured Media, Controlled Opposition and Lessons Learned

    Interview (36m): Broken Academia, Captured Media, Controlled Opposition and Lessons Learned
    2025/12/04
    Incase you didn’t yet know, Covid-era TNT Radio has had a small-scale ‘rebirth’ and is now called The World Today News. [Subscribe on YouTube]. Here’s the interview I clipped of our informal chat. * The articles Mike and I discussed include my latest one about the impact of Chinese universities and their role in progressing Agenda 2030 policies like 15-Minute Cities (that some alternative media outlets are paradoxically trying to promote).* [briefly] My collaboration with Steven Howard and AI in a 6-part creative story drawing on what Margaret Anna Alice defined as ‘Philanthropaths’. * My investigations into certain conflicted academics, such as Prof Angus Dalgleish. And how universities generally control the narrative.* Why we simply cannot trust some of the ‘independent’ alternative media platforms. Sad, but true.* The Nurses and Teachers who were unfairly mandated out of their jobs in NZ during the Covid era and how these have evolved over five years.Thanks for supporting us all - as a team - speaking TRUTH TO POWER.We will not be bullied into silence. TRUTH WINS!Thank you to all who BUY ME A COFFEE so I can Pay it Forward to those in need of my help. Research costs time and money!Thanks for reading Informed Heart!

  • More on Controlled Demolition: the practical tactics (9 mins)

    More on Controlled Demolition: the practical tactics (9 mins)
    2025/11/21
    Here’s an important update from yesterday’s post about the sands that are constantly shifting beneath our feet. Some alternative ‘freedom-loving’ media platforms and independent journos - people we trusted - have been captured. These platforms are not fighting the propaganda - they are reinforcing it. Their message may be slightly skewed towards a more ‘open minded’ audience, but it still serves the same purpose: they deceive us. More details of that very soon.Meanwhile…In this 9 min clip from the latest ‘Protagonists’ show from The World Today News. some important insights are provided by Mike Ryan (Ex-TNT), Robert Cibis (Oval Media), Dr Clare Craig (Drs for Medical Ethics, co-Chair of HART) and Alex Kriel of Thinking Coalition. For example, some quotes include:Mike: “And the revelations are coming out left, right and centre, that there are a number of independent media who are being paid to come out with a particular sort of narrative…”And Mike would know about this - he used owned TNT Radio, which we now know suffered controlled demolition. And later Alex talks about the published methodology of that strategy from the 1950s:Alex: “…the government infiltrating opposition and destroying it through internal conflict, misdirection, compromising individuals and whatever else. And as to [responding to the question of] which is more dangerous, I don’t think that there’s a good answer to that…dangerous because they’re all sort of gates to capture as you move along.”***Robert: “[in a recent Bundestag hearing]…more than half of neo-Nazis in the German extremist groups, so hundreds of people, were in fact informants were in fact working for the government - and the whole ‘leading class’ of these groups - a hundred percent of them were working for the government and I’m talking about Germany, today, which is…crazy.”***Mike: “I don’t know who’s paying who. At least with legacy media, you know who is paying who generally.” Good point!* So who is being paid, by whom, to come out with what, and why?Well, here’s one example from my Substack colleague Michael Ginsburg who quite rightly called out the UK Column’s recent very obvious (appalling) change of narrative:And in this particular case study example, this could fit with what we already know about UK Column’s shareholders, as I explained here:It is very frustrating and often depressing to discover fundamental flaws, half-truths or worse, in those we listen/watch regularly and rely upon for good quality information. But didn’t we promise ourselves that since the covid era, we would always do our own research, use original documents and never outsource our critical thinking skills again? It’s human nature to get lazy, let’s not fall into that trap again. It’s time to look carefully at that small print.Sometimes the most uncomfortable truths provide us with the most valuable life-lessons. More to follow on this topic. Stay tuned.
