DR. DAVID HUGHES: in the Nazi era, the medical profession was the keenest to join the party. When you look at the churches, for example, in Nazi Germany, both Protestant and Catholic churches were keen to ally with Hitler, the Concordat being just the most famous example

. . . psychological warfare is in itself a military concept . . . and has officially at least been reserved for foreign populations but . . . the groundwork for that was prepared in 2012 with the modernization of the Smith-Mundt Act, 1948, in the United States which effectively open the door for the US government to propagandize its own citizens . . .  historically psychological warfare has served as the prelude to physical warfare. It's historically been a way of softening up populations or targets so that they are demoralized, confused, disoriented, debilitated, including the physical effects of psychological warfare and thereby less able to resist the attack that is being made against them.  --Dr. David Hughes

The Nazi Conscience, Claudia Koonz, 2003, 

We're in Nazi Germany 2.0, but it's all of the West "Nazi Germany...required years of psychological conditioning and laws being put in place...[we see the same] process [now]...doctors, believing COVID propaganda, [are]...willing to violate first principles of medical ethics." This clip of former Senior Lecturer at the University of Lincoln and author of Wall Street, the Nazis, and the Crimes of the Deep State Dr. David Hughes is taken from a recently posted interview with Propaganda in Focus (@PropagandaFocus). 

PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT OF CLIP 

"Claudia Koonz in her 2003 book called The Nazi Conscience, really important book because she challenges the cliche that Germans were kind of simple minded order followers. And she points out that actually that's not the case that in order for the worst horrors of Nazi Germany to manifest, it required years of psychological conditioning and laws being put in place, so that the German population actually came to believe the propaganda. And in the process, its conscience was hijacked. "Many Germans actually thought that they were doing the right thing, trying to uphold the values of the Aryan race and the Third Reich and all of this. Now, unfortunately, I think we're seeing a similar kind of process in terms of hijacking of conscience. And when you look across the professions, we find doctors who, believing the COVID propaganda were all too willing to violate the first principles of medical ethics and informed consent and first do no harm. And, of course, in the Nazi era, the medical profession was the keenest to join the party. When you look at the churches, for example, in Nazi Germany, both Protestant and Catholic churches were keen to ally with Hitler, the Concordat being just the most famous example. But, again, in 2020, what did we find? Churches closing their doors to the sick and the diseased, a real kind of inversion of Christianity. "Justin Welby in this country talking about how Jesus would have got the vaccine, do the right thing, be like Jesus, get vaccinated. I mean this is shocking really to see. Or if you look at the role of the political left and the unions, a complete abandonment of the working class, again, this was seen in Nazi Germany, but they all lined up behind business closures measures which were really harmful and destructive not only to the working classes, but also to the middle classes. If you look at the state of the media, prostitution is an obviously appropriate metaphor there. Many people use the term prostitutes because that's all they are since 2020 at least. There's complete subservience to power. The idea of the Fourth Estate has completely vanished and the press that really seems to have been infiltrated by a fifth column rather than being a Fourth Estate. "You have these kind of dark actors now controlling the narratives, the Murdoch empire just being the most obvious example. And so across multiple areas of life, we see them all falling into this ideological form these ideas that can't be questioned and these taboo topics. And the reason I wrote Wall Street, the Nazis, and the Crimes of the Deep State, is we've seen it all before. We need to learn the lessons of history because we know what this is all about. We know what the purpose is. We know that it's all about manufacturing totalitarianism, and we know exactly where it leads. And in chapter 7 of that book, I spell out in graphic and actually quite horrific detail where exactly all of this will lead. "So the moral dimension, the spiritual dimension, the religious dimension is absolutely central to everything that's going on. And the first step that we need to take if we are to challenge this global technocratic coup, this push for global totalitarianism is to look as Solzhenitsyn said to the line between good and evil that runs through every human heart. And we all have our conscience to answer to, and we all have choices to make. And now is the time to be making them."
