Solomon Asch's famous experiment, showing that people bow to majority pressure, denying their own perceptions, successfully replicates in foreign country. And everybody is a conformist

I was vaguely familiar with the Asch Experiment, how one participant's knowledge, opinion, or understanding of shared reality can be manipulated by the group.  When I worked in a large school district, I saw his all the time.  To shore up consensus on some new program, or new trend, the district would stack a conference or a training program with personnel loyal to the district heads and program lieutenants.  To outsiders, this sounds like a conspiracy theory.  But one brave teacher raised his hand in a conference of about 40 "teachers" and asked bluntly, "How many of you in this room are district plants?"  And either stupidly or naively, a dozen hands went up.

I just had no idea that the Asch Experiment could corral 60% of an audience.  This means, contrary to the video above, that you don't need a majority of the audience to be privy to or participants in the experiment.  It's that powerful.  The cognitive dissonance of your own judgment is enough to change our minds.  And that change doesn't even have to be done with convictions, simply by peer pressure to conform.  I had no idea how powerful that was.  Well, I kind of did.  Look at any organization.  If a rumor is begun about you, and those spreading the rumor placed within it the instruction to commit violence, then that conformity contains a whole new level of concern.

This explains why critical thinking skills are essential for survival.  Too many of us take our life, our health, our wealth, and our survival for granted.

SARHA WAGENKNECHT: The USA, in particular, has seen our energy price crisis as an opportunity and has set up a huge subsidy program for themselves with the Inflation Reduction Act, 2022.

from Bundestag member, Sahra Wagenknecht

00:00. Cheap gas from Russia with long-term supply contracts has been an important reason for Germany's economic success for decades.  With the outbreak of the war, the suspension of ineffective, nonsensical sanctions against Russia, which, however, have greatly damaged us, and the explosion of the pipelines [2022], gas, and thus all energy costs, have risen steeply.  Even if the Greens like to claim other things, the electricity prices for an average household are still around 36% above the 2019 level.  For large-scale consumers in the industry, the electricity prices are even 83% above the 2019 prices.  This means a massive location and that's a problem for all of us.  Instead of cheap gas from the pipeline, we are now buying expensive liquid gas from the USA, or from such exemplary democracies as Qatar  However, this LNG, in other words, liquid gas, is not only significantly more expensive but also significantly more environmentally harmful because it first has to be transported around the world by heavy oil-powered tankers until it arrives [in Germany].  The Greens obviously have no problem with that and a fifth of the industrial value-added products in Germany are now massively endangered.

01:24. The industry prefers to invest in foreign countries or relocate production entirely like China or the USA.  The USA, in particular, has seen our energy price crisis as an opportunity and has set up a huge subsidy program for themselves with the Inflation Reduction Act, 2022.  This promotes their own economy and should encourage European Industries to emigrate to the USA with success.  More than half of large industrial companies are already considering relocating their production abroad, and we have to spend more money on energy and have less money in our pockets for a restaurant visit or just for a stroll through the city center.  More than a fifth of us can no longer afford a one-week holiday a year.  Countless people are at risk of losing their jobs, and the German economy is at risk of losing its engine.

“I'm not making it up. The University of Nebraska just got a got done with one of their studies that the way to save the world on carbon is raise more cows. K. And that's because cows are carbon negative”

Cindy Kaye writes,

And hopefully, reverse that absurd “close the farms and kill the cows” program. Good day for the Dutch, home of my ancestors.

"You need to brush up on your policies so that you know how to handle a dead baby."

Michelle Gershman RN explains how her hospital went from 1-2 stillbirths per month to 20 per month after the πŸ’‰ rollout.  The hospital told her how to deal with the increase in infant deaths per month by writing an email to her and the staff, 

You need to brush up on your policies so that you know how to handle a dead baby.

Michelle is a nurse in Fresno, CA, and she's been interviewed about her practice as well as what happened to her mom in the hospital following a diagnosis of COVID-19.  Apparently, her mom was given Remdesivir.

On Monday, June 1, 2020, President Trump announced that he might use federal troops to quell the ANTIFA riots. Weirdly and unexpectedly, former President George W. Bush issued a statement on Tuesday, June 2, 2020, expressing solidarity with the protesters and saying that only "peaceful means" should be used to resolve the crisis.

 Purple ties were a symbol for the "Purple Revolution," a codename for anti-Trump color revolution. 

Weirdly and unexpectedly, former President George W. Bush issued a statement on Tuesday, June 2, 2020, expressing solidarity with the protesters and saying that only "peaceful means" should be used to resolve the crisis. Really?


The next morning, June 3, Rod Rosenstein—the guy who appointed Robert Mueller as Special Counsel—testified before the Senate in a purple tie. Some speculate that Rosenstein was signaling solidarity with the "Purple Revolution," a codename for anti-Trump color revolution.

FBI director Christopher Wray had earlier raised eyebrows when he wore a purple tie at his February 5, 2020, Congressional hearings.

When the Clintons appeared in purple at Hillary's Nov. 9, 2016 concession speech, violent anti-Trump protests broke out, lasting for weeks (#NotMyPresident). Knowledgeable observers theorized that the Clintons had triggered a Purple Revolution.  cnn.com/2016/11/11/us/

VINDICATION? So Malone's visibility and presence was to keep other doctors in line, keep the narrative on the reservation? [October 7, 2022]

Yeadon writes

My specific concern right now is that Dr Malone is berating [the] FDA about absent oversight of quality control and safety of these products. Many people may find it odd that I’m disturbed by this line of public argumentation.

But the basis of that concern is that *THESE ARE NOT LEGALLY CLASSIFIED AS PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTS AND ARE NOT REGULATED BY FDA.

There’s no doubt about it.

https://sashalatypova.substack.com/p/summary-of-everything-and-quick-links.

Therefore, all this posturing about [the] failings of [the] FDA is theatre. They’re not in charge.

In a unanimous opinion written by Justice Clarence Thomas on May 22, 1995, the court found that Harmon's men had violated Sharlene's 4th Amendment rights by failing to adhere to the "knock-and-announce principle" before entering her home

When others cowered, Thomas stood firm against the "dark alliance."  Ricahrd Poe  Jeez. 

They even take out their own heads.

When others cowered, Citing English common law, Justice Thomas noted that a man's house is "his castle of defense and asylum" and that the King may not send his sheriff into a person's house either to arrest or to order the execution of the King's process without signifying the cause and requesting that the doors be opened Harmon had forgotten to study his Blackstone Commentaries.  So have the Arkansas courts.

"The Judgment of the Arkansas Supreme Court is reversed and the cases remanded for further proceedings," concluded Thomas it did not get her off the hook entirely.  Other convictions still held but it bolstered her claim that she had been a victim of legal foul play.

FLASHBACK: Trump honors Debra Seidel Wall, the archivist who triggered Mar-a-Lago raid

Apparently, Debra Seidel Wall, National Archivist, did not like Trump's belittling of her role at the National Archives.  I think that some of the people in Washington can be humorless.  Looks like Trump was teasing the importance of her assignment there.  She didn't get the full-dignity treatment that she feels she's entitled to so she went all in on trying to bring him down.  And it ain't over.  

From the Townhall.

Vladimir Putin Addresses the Russian Defense Ministry Board Dec 21, 2022 – English Subtitles

 


Dear Fellow Colleagues, 

It is well known that the military potential and capabilities of almost all major NATO countries are being widely used against us.  Still, our soldiers, sergeants, and officers are fighting for Russia with courage and fortitude and are fulfilling their tasks with confidence step by step.  Without a doubt, these tasks will be fulfilled in all territories of the Russian Federation, including the new territories, and a safe life for all of our citizens will be ensured.  Our armed forces' combat capabilities s is increasing day by day, and we will certainly step this process up.  I would like once again to thank everyone who is fulfilling their combat duty today, including tank crews, paratroopers, artillerymen, motor riflemen, sappers, signalmen, pilots, special operations forces, air defense troops, sailors, military topographers, logistics support specialists, National Guard personnel and other formations for the way that you are fighting.

[Could you imagine General Milley making these remarks in front of his generals?  I can't.  He'd say something like I want to know "white rage" [see 5:40]  Douche.]

The pineal gland is crucial to critical thinking abilities among other important brain functions. This may be related to the known effect of fluoride exposure lowering IQ in children according to Harvard researchers

The pineal gland is crucial to critical thinking abilities among other important brain functions. This may be related to the known effect of fluoride exposure lowering IQ in children according to Harvard researchers.

Fortunately, this is an easy and painless process as long as you go slow! In addition, this method is supported by scientific research.

All that needs to be done is add supplemental boron to the diet for a short period of time.

Bonus! Boron is important for removing heavy metals from the body as well and will likely improve your arthritis (both RA and osteoarthritis) if you suffer from this degenerative ailment.

This might help with choosing which boron to use.

Su casa es mi casa

The original phrase is "Mi casa es su casa." But the media loves taking gentle colloquial phrases and spinning them into political salvos.  And there's definitely a political thrust to the topic of immigration.  I mean democrats, whose goal it is to render America's middle class destitute, own and operate legal and illegal immigration policy of this country, and if you live in one of the southern borders states your life, property, and culture has been irrevocably displaced because the democrats tell us that their invasion of your country is really a reclamation by siege of middle-class neighborhoods in which you live and grew up, the justification of which was that the land underneath your home really belong to someone else, shaming you the citizen for sins of our government.  And I don't think that any populist movement is going to provide restitution. Oh, don't get me wrong.  This is the same ethic of the NeoConservatives, who when they want to invade Iraq or Syria will ask, "Hey, what is our oil doing underneath your land?"  We've adjusted . . . by becoming thoroughly dispossessed of our history, the vacuumed soul that rises out of the ashes of global migration.

Fascinating interview with Richard Booth on the Oklahoma City Bombing, April 19, 1995

Fascinating interview with Richard Booth, here and here.

Thank you to Senor Jose
 

Here is No Way, Jose!'s channel.

He starts with ID'ing Idabel, Oklahoma investigative writer, J D Cash, who wrote for the McCurtain Gazette and did some excellent reporting on the Oklahoma City Bombing.  

Oklahoma City and What the Investigation Missed and Why It Still Matters, Roger G. Charles and Andrew Gumbel, 2013.  Reached out to various researchers, and various academics, and started collecting documents.  By 2014 to 2016, I had amassed a huge collection and donated documents and archives to Scott Horton at the Libertarian Institute and he put them all online to make them searchable.  Other researchers, Jesse Trentadue, Wendy Painting

Timothy McVeigh's favorite book was The Turner Diaries, William Luther Pierce, 1978.  Another book he really liked was called The Silent Brotherhood: The Chilling Inside Story of America's Violent, Anti-Government Militia Movement, Kevin Flynn and Gary Gerhardt, 1990.  He wrote the story of a terrorist group called The Order.  And most people when they look at the Oklahoma City Bombing, they completely miss this context.  

14:35. McVeigh was reported to have been seen at Waco.  

Important part of the context here.  You had an FBI hostage team kill women and children.  Horiuchi murdered Vicki Weaver, Randy's wife, and child.  And you had Waco occur that next April, April 19, 1993, where they burned Americans and American children using tanks and flame throwers, an environment where you had the federal government acting in accordance with their true scorched earth policy nature.  Especially on the gun show circuit, you would see a lot of videos about Waco and Ruby Ridge being sold, which served as a motivating factor for McVeigh in Oklahoma City.  He considered the bombing to be revenge for Waco.

McVeigh chose the Murrah Building after he learned it had a daycare in it.  Gives you some insight, I suppose, into his mind. This would be his revenge for the slaughter of the children at Waco. Throughout the country at the time, the militia was a very big and burgeoning movement. Within these militia groups, they were just as outraged as an average, Midwestern white family might view Waco (April 19, 1993: the Mount Carmel Center was incinerated on April 19, 1993or Ruby Ridge, August 21, 1992, totally outrageous.  Date was no coincidence, April 19, Patriots' Day, the holiday celebrating the start of the Revolutionary War.  Also, the same date as Waco.  The main difference was that these were radicals advocating for violence.  

17:30. What about the role of white supremacy? Was it just an inflammatory tag to create a convenient scapegoat and self-hatred among whites, or was McVeigh truly motivated by it?  

When this happened, Timothy McVeigh was being characterized as a militia guy, attending militia meetings, but the truth is that Timothy McVeigh was not a militia guy. He was not a member of any militia.  He had been to a couple of militia events, but at one of them he was kicked out, meaning that they didn't like the kind of talk they heard from him.  

18:55. He was equated as a militia member in the media at the time, who were trying to demonize the militia movement in the country by associating them with McVeigh.

Smart Mark? Be Independent. Be Sovereign. Be Ungovernable.

You don't need or want more coding in your life from a 3rd party communist entity or any 3rd party.  Run your life, and your biology by your own code. Don't let some international conglomerate put anything into you . . . ever.  How did we go so quickly from Biblical warnings about the mark of the beast to a Smart Mark? Every word phrase or slogan marketed by these globalists means just the opposite.  They've learned how to hijack the sacred language of the Bible and use it in their marketing to appeal to Christians to get them on board with their demonic plans.  There is no sweeter victory for these ghouls than to subjugate their moral and mortal enemy.  Smartphones don't make you smarter, they make you more dependent, more trackable, and more easily controlled.   Smart Marks will only turn man, who is made in the likeness of God, into mutants. Don't diminish yourself.  Please.

Biden Admin Can't Even Solve Baby Formula Problems

Thank you to Martin Armstrong

It has been about a month since Abbott Laboratories reopened its formula plant in Michigan, but the US is still in desperate need of baby formula. The plant ceased operations in February after certain formulas were recalled for containing bacteria after infants became sick. Abbott had a huge 40% stake in the formula market within the US. The production plant was supposed to resume operations in June but this was pushed back a month due to flooding in the area. Certain states saw out-of-stock rates near 60% in July, but the national average currently sits at 30%.

The White House secured 17 Operation Fly Formula missions and imported enough powder to make 61 million bottles. The Defense Production Act [a 1950 act that grants the president to command sectors of the economy to increase production of certain items] was revoked to remove some tariffs, but this was a temporary fix. US consumers need enough formula for 65 million bottles per week. Experts now believe that the shortage will last into the fall months.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) failed to act in a prompt manner. Some of the red tape and regulations are to blame. FDA Commissioner Robert Califf testified in July, displacing blame from the FDA, and saying that they simply did not know. “No law requires manufacturers of these products to notify FDA when they become aware of a circumstance that could lead to a shortage of these products. Without this information, the Agency may have little or no insight as to when a major shortage may occur, preventing us from taking potential mitigation efforts until a crisis becomes apparent,” Califf said. He believed that formula availability to normalize in up to eight weeks.

An investigation shows that the FDA was first notified of formula contamination in December 2021. In fact, 128 complaints were filed between December 2021 and March 2022. The FDA certainly was aware of the contamination before they took action. The White House also took too long to respond as Biden did not invoke the Defense Production Act until May 2022, when 40% of the formula was unavailable. This issue should have been solved months ago but persists due to government incompetence.

Though I am not versed in the intricacies of breastfeeding, I would assume that there are plenty of natural alternatives to the stuff that Abbott Labs produces.

FED is going to realign FED policy with the needs of the United States. No longer going to be the Central Bank of the World the way we were under Bernanke and Yellen.

because there's no appetite for that $6.5 trillion dollars.   Tom Luongo

33:00  They had to flood some money into the Repos.  This is 6 months before COVID, so September 2019?   JP Morgan started the Repo Crisis, I think, on purpose because it put a countdown timer on a sovereign debt crisis in Europe because Europe was deteriorating because they couldn't go get dollars because none of the New York banks wouldn't do business with them anymore.  It was the beginning of the split between Europe and American banks.  And that persisted.  None of the American banks would repo--to take as collateral--any American debt.  That meant that the ECB was forced to amplify all of its QE programs and shuffle deck chairs around the Titanic.  

This is Episode 263 from Around The Empire, dated 7/12/2022, hosted by Joanne Leon. 

For legit reasons, right . . . ?  

Yeah, who would want that stuff?  Remember, the ECB has been at negative interest rates.  For legitimate reasons, right, why would I want to buy a 5-year German bond at negative .05%?   Why would I want to buy some massively overpriced German bund?  Or some massively over-valued Italian bond or Greek debt?  Really?  This stuff is all trading at a premium to U.S. debt.  It's all garbage.  It's all toxic.  It's all worthless.  If it actually all hit the market at once it would go bidless.  The ECB is functionally bankrupt.  What we're living through right now is, that the TLDR on this is the ECB is functionally bankrupt.  The European banking system is functionally bankrupt.  And now the FED is going "Yeah, we're going to prove it to everybody that the ECB is functionally bankrupt.  And we're not going to allow them to take us down at the same time.  We're going to realign FED policy with the needs of the United States.  

35:11  We are no longer the Central Bank of the World the way we were under Bernanke and Yellen, bailing everybody out.  We are the Central Bank of the United States, which is exactly what Powell said a month before he raised . . . he started stealthy tightening a year ago today at a major central bankers' conference.  Where Christine Lagarde stood up there and announced to the world that "we were going to coordinate central bank policy to fight climate change," and Jerome Powell stood up and said, "I won't."  I have a dual mandate: stable prices and full employment.  I work for the United States people, and Lagarde lost her mind and yelled at him.  And he doesn't say that if he doesn't have the backing of his banking sector. 

36:09  If he doesn't have the shareholders and the New York Fed having his back, he doesn't say that.  That was a month before June 2021.  Now, in the interim, we have this COVID thing and all the governments got together and mandated through congress their various legislatures to print trillions of dollars, but notice, something that Peter Boockvar [Episode #96, February 11, 2022] brought up to me, well, yeah, the Fed printed up $6.5 trillion.  The ECB only printed $650 billion.  Again feeding this argument that the Euro is a better currency than the dollar because there's no appetite for that $6.5 trillion dollars that the FED was forced to monetize under COVID.  It's also the recipe for you're going to wind up with inflation a year after you open an economy back up.  So what Powell did very astutely, and I'm going to say, very skillfully, on the day that Biden and Putin are delaying WWIII for another year, I'm going to raise the rate on the payout rate on the standing reverse repo contracts to 5 basis points above the FED's fund rate.  So I'm creating a positive yield spread.  It's only .05%, but it's a positive yield spread, and markets are so frickin' starved for yield that they'll take that .05 basis points.  They were so starved for yield that the standing reverse repo facility balance went from $450 billion to $1.7 trillion by Jackson Hole in September, removing $1.3 trillion dollars of base money from the off-shore dollar system.  

38:50  What is the Reverse Repo?

AMERICA: ONLY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD THAT AUTHORIZES COVID SHOTS FOR INFANTS

Absolutely odd to see a people, even if it is a UN hodgepodge of peoples from around the world with no allegiance to its new homeland or old country, ideas or principles, histories or culture, sacrifice their offspring, their babies like some preprogrammed automaton to Moloch and his poisons sold as "safe and effective," toxins that will only produce decades of grief in illness and early death in those who receive it.  

There are remedies, however.  One is Niacin.  Both COVID and the spike proteins inside the shots produce an excess if energy in the cells, according to Dr. Dimitry Kats.  As an anti-inflammatory, cooling, clot-killing compound, Niacin, works to push inflammation out of your cells, all cells, regardless of the source or cause of inflammation.  

Nutritional remedies aside, how do we get Americans to be more cautious and careful in their decisions when government offers any solution?  We're all operating on limited knowledge.  So if you don't know the effects or the outcomes of anything you put into your body, stop.  Stop, and get more information before you decide.  As to government in general, my recommendation is to stay away from it, from them.
