Facebook admitted to running psyop experiments mucking about with the tone of posts in peoples’ newsfeeds (all negative).

The Deep State was caught planting fakenews to further the scope of their witchhunt against team Trump.

Barry Obama was paying Hollywood US tax dollars to insert pro-Obamacare messaging in fictional programming.

The way into this madness that brings healing is God. Overcoming the hatred of God preached by adherents of this cult is done by personal, direct, fearless intervention. Progressive politics does not forgive sin. God does.

Notice how the MSM is using the term ‘Gaslighting’ when Republicans cite the Mueller Report findings of no collusion.

One of Daniel’s best writings by far, and that’s saying something.

It’s not just our education system. The collective role of the MSM, Hollywood and 5th Ave can also not be underestimated.

CIRCA 2015 “Obama Executive Order Unleashes “Behavioral Science” Squad to “Nudge” You
by Alex Neman Sept. 18, 2015, The New American

“Under the guise of better “serving” the American people through government, Obama signed an executive order last year calling for federal agencies and departments to deploy emerging “behavioral science” techniques against the public. The Obama order also establishes a Social and Behavioral Sciences Team charged with applying psychological research to manipulate the beliefs and behaviors of Americans under various pretexts, and guide the vast federal bureaucracy as it hones its abilities to manipulate the public. “ --SNIP--

==================================================

(HAT TIP ANIMA MUNDI)---they command people to believe the absurd----(a) a total acceptance of gay marriage, (b) global warming tagged climate change, and, (c) Hillary looking into the camera, admitting to lying and betrayal, yet, she still is supported. NOT TO FORGET (d) Muslims are peaceful, (e) Mexico is our friend, (f) illegals violate our borders looking for a better life, (g) The Clinton Foundation is saving the globe.

ANALYSIS Behavioral Sciences and psychology are dismissed by our side is being USED by the other side. Psychology is not just “counseling” or some frivolous study. It is a weapon when used in certain ways to strategically position image, words, feelings of large groups of people.

Trayvon Martin becomes a moral cause, his name on everyone’s lips....fund-raising as a bonus.

Kate Steinle killed by an illegal in San Francisco??? Well, “things happen.”

Benghazi? “Well, so long ago”, etc.

We had better start paying attention to this and grab the language: stop using their terms, stop giving into their demands, stop apologizing for offending them, stop changing team names and acting as if their complaints are real when they are not.

All of it is connected and goes back to manipulation of public opinion. These tools are available to us as well. Reframe arguments, never let anything go unchallenged just to be popular.

=======================================

Educational materials from Obama's Department of Defense (DOD) depict conservative organizations as “hate groups” and to be aware that “many extremists will talk of individual liberties, states’ rights, and how to make the world a better place.” The documents repeatedly cite the leftwing Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) as a resource for identifying “hate groups.”

Judicial Watch obtained the DOD documents in a response to a Freedom of Information Act request (FOIA) filed on April 8, 2013. The FOIA requested “Any and all records concerning, regarding, or related to the preparation and presentation of training materials on hate groups or hate crimes distributed or used by the Air Force.”

Included in the 133 pages of lesson plans and PowerPoint slides provided by the Air Force is a January 2013 Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute “student guide” entitled “Extremism.” The document says that it is “for training purposes only” and “do not use on the job.” Highlights include:

•The document defines extremists as “a person who advocates the use of force or violence; advocates supremacist causes based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, or national origin; or otherwise engages to illegally deprive individuals or groups of their civil rights.”

•A statement that “Nowadays, instead of dressing in sheets or publically espousing hate messages, many extremists will talk of individual liberties, states’ rights, and how to make the world a better place.”

•“[W]hile not all extremist groups are hate groups, all hate groups are extremist groups.”

•Under a section labeled “Extremist Ideologies” the document states, “In U.S. history, there are many examples of extremist ideologies and movements. The colonists who sought to free themselves from British rule and the Confederate states who sought to secede from the Northern states are just two examples.”

•In this same section, the document lists the 9/11 attack under a category of “Historical events.”

•“[A]ctive participation…with regard to extremist organizations is incompatible with military service and, is therefore prohibited.” [Emphasis in original]

•The document details the “seven stages of hate” and sixteen “extremists’ traits.”

•The SPLC is listed as a resource for information on hate groups and referenced several times throughout the guide.

•Of the five organizations besides the SPLC listed as resources, one is an SPLC project (Teaching Tolerance) and one considers any politically or socially conservative movement to be a potential hate group (Political Research Associates).

•Other than a mention of 9/11 and the Sudan, there is no discussion of Islamic extremism.
