Wenn jetzt nicht etwas Grundlegendes geschieht, dann war's das mit der Freiheit. Und nicht die Angriffe ihrer Gegner werden ihr den Garaus machen - die Gleichgültigkeit derer, die sie so lange genossen, wird es tun. Pandemien, Weltkrieg, Klimanotstand: Die Freiheit schwebt in höchster Gefahr. "Freiheitsgesäusel"? "Mehr Diktatur wagen"? Was ist kaputt in den Herzen und Köpfen der vielen, dass sie sich selbst und ihre Freiheit so geringschätzen, ja regelrecht verachten? Warum stimmen sie ihrer eigenen Entrechtung zu und scheinen in ihre Ketten geradezu verliebt.

From fake news to conspiracy theories, from inflammatory memes to misleading headlines, misinformation has swiftly become the defining problem of our era. The crisis threatens the integrity of our democracies, our ability to cultivate trusting relationships, even our physical and psychological well-being—yet most attempts to combat it have proven insufficient. With remarkable clarity, Sander van der Linden explains why our brains are so vulnerable to misinformation.

Almost everyone is doing it. Aimlessly scrolling through their social media feeds. From presidents to the postmen, most people you know and probably even yourself. Mindlessly, your fingers move across the screen, and content, from selfies to memes, flickers by at a blistering pace.

Secret societies exist for one purpose – creating power, maintaining power and growing power. In order to do so they have to control you and me. They have to manipulate markets, media, government and religion. This is how they do it.

From the moment we are born to the day we die, we are under a spell. We are controlled by the magicians who use marketing and propaganda to manipulate our every thought. From religious leaders to company executives, from politicians to secret military elites, everything we do, say and even think is scrutinized. For thousands of years the system has been built, slowly consuming our true nature. Many are happy in their state of delusion. But every now and then a rogue appears who recognizes the truth for what it really is.

Wie würdest du dich verhalten, wenn dir deine dystopische Regierung, dein Kind nach der Geburt einfach so entzieht und tötet, weil eine (KI) beschlossen hat, dass es den genetischen Anforderungen der WHO nicht entspricht, oder dein CO2-Budget schlicht zu niedrig ist, für eine legale Geburt.

On April 23, 1984, in a packed press conference room in Washington, DC, the secretary of health and human services declared “The probable cause of AIDS has been found.” By the next day, “probable” had fallen away, and the novel retrovirus later named HIV became forever lodged in global consciousness as “the AIDS virus.” Celia Farber, then an intrepid young reporter for SPIN magazine, was the only journalist to question the official narrative and dig into the science of AIDS.

There is an elite group that control the world. They run governments, companies and religions. They have done so for a very long time. Their names have changed, their faces altered but their bloodlines remain the same. We see glimpses of their power. We see the outcomes of their plots and schemes. We see revolutions and war. We succumb to their propaganda and manipulation again and again. Most have no idea that they are under the spell.

Mankind across the world has been imprisoned. They called it lockdown. We have been terrified into submission. Words like ‘pandemic’ and images of horror have been thrust upon us. It is all a scam.
