The programming is strong with this one....

Hi folks,

I just wanted to run a quick check by you, to see whether any of you are experiencing the same thing I've been experiencing over the past 40-odd days, since the 'start' of the Russia-Ukraine war..

Basically, before the war began, my primary focus on ATS had been, for well over a year, strongly centred on theories & concerns over the COVID scamdemic. I was heavily into researching the statistics, figuring out the shenanigans & the game plan of those who seemed to be in charge of the whole thing. I couldn't let it go - it infuriated me on a deep, personal level - I was angered in the extreme that the vaccine injuries were being caused due to deliberate evil on the part of those who were organising the whole operation. I felt strongly that a judgment was due to the persons responsible, that a spiritual evil was being perpetrated against the common citizens of the world, and that we were basically heading into the End Times, with all of this pandemic evil being wrapped up in what would ultimately become an apocalyptic series of events. I was exhausted by my constant rage against the machinations of the perpetrators, I was on hyper-alert looking for new pieces of the puzzle, researching what others had put together regarding the whole thing.

However, something fundamental changed when the war between Russia & Ukraine was beginning. At the same time, and for a couple of weeks prior to the onset of the war, there had been a dramatic winding-down in the coverage & the rules surrounding the pandemic, to the point that it almost seemed to evaporate as the war was beginning. I was surprised by the speed with which the winding down occurred, and the drama of the war as it began swept me up in following its twists & turns. As the coverage of the war intensified, the coverage & rules/ regimental enforcement of rules surrounding the pandemic wound down so quickly, it seemed to provide me with what my soul had been longing for - 'blessed relief' from the punitive & tyrannical overreach from all the governments & NGOs which we had been forced to live with for almost two years. This sense of relief admittedly swept me up in its wake, and I was for a time - for at least the past month - totally happy to forget the whole pandemic in as much as I possibly could. I was 'happy' that the war had become the focus, that COVID was receding into the background, no longer a prime focus for the world, apparently no longer a threat to global health, apparently something we could all afford to forget, and the temptation was even there that we should also 'forgive' the 'mistakes' of the various players who had enforced the draconian, tyrannical, despotic regulation of the pandemic response. I confess, I was almost ready to forgive as well as forget.

And yet, after a month of the war, some new serpentine heads have begun to resurface once more, from the many-headed hydra that we know as the COVID experiment. Lockdowns in China, cases rising elsewhere - is it all going to come crashing back in upon us? I do not know. But I know that the programming was strongly affecting me, I was swept up in the propaganda waves, happy to let COVID recede as the war took precedence.

After around 21 days of war I was totally convinced that the whole thing was a massive psy-op, yet another scam being perpetrated to enable changes to the global systems of control in which we are all ensnared to some degree or another. Will COVID resurface with a vengeance, or will the focus remain on what has been unleashed in Ukraine, with NATO provocations leading to an expanded conflict, supply chain disruption & energy shortages, again, all leading inexorably to a future which is controlled by a NWO multipolar world map of hegemony, a feudalist system of sorts, technocracy with central bank digital currencies & social credt score systems?

At this stage I do not know - but I'm curious - despite our best knowledge & awareness of the way they run these scams, as true 'conspiracy theorists', denizens of ATS, did you also fall prey, even just a little, to that NEED to feel some relief from the abominable pressures of two years of COVID? Did you, as I, self-delude even just for a few days, that maybe - despite all evidence to the contrary - maybe COVID was over and that was the end of it, that we could now 'get back to normal'..? I did, though thankfully snapped out of it after a few weeks.

What comes next? I have deep concerns that all of this is just the prelude to something much worse.

Thanks, FITO.

did you also fall prey, even just a little

No. I haven't been sucked into the war propaganda, or any other gandas for that matter.

To me it's all just the same game plan. It's the creation of fear & uncertainty that provides the parasite class the opportunity to control. I'm sure by now that most understand that a fearful and uncertain population can be controlled with relative ease, and that's all they keep doing. 9/11, same story.

And in time the Ukraine story will fade away just like all the others to be replaced by the next new War On People Who Say Whateva or Plandemic 2 or Space Alien Invasion (nothing would surprise me).

Unfortunately this will keep on happening because people do the MSM and allow governments to do their thinking for them because, it seems, the majority prefer willful ignorance.

ETA;

What comes next? I have deep concerns that all of this is just the prelude to something much worse.

And to that question all I can say is that they, the parasite class, have absolutely zero compunction in broadcasting to everyone what's coming next. Covid was Event 201 and all the other "simulations" before that. And IIRC many other events have had similar "simulations".

So then, as a prediction of sorts, I'm going to pick an International Cyber Security failure of epic proportions for my next selection of doom porn bingo.

My sentiments exactly 24/7 coverage of the COVID scam day in day out yet nobody was ill that I knew or died from COVID .

Boris Johnson getting heckled and calls for his sacking ditto in Russia with Putin people were starting to wake up to what was going on then maybe a trip to the theatre was ordered to see As you like it by William Shakespeare who may or may not have been real but all the world's a stage no less .

Now everyone seems to be getting I'll in my hood all the doctors surgeries are short staffed as in 1 doctor working the rest are sick same with the local hospital wards closed due to staff shortages

I have nothing really to add to this except I could have written these exact words.

I was so worn down by endless research for two years that I could say I was relieved it was in reprieve but not quite happy as I simply hadn't the energy nor faith left that it would hold for long. Once I learnt the main and usual characters were involved in the war and that all the pro covid mandate folk had turned pro ukraine I knew for sure it was all propaganda and really lost interest in it. Looking through my mental list of friends and family, now reveals I barely know most of these people
nor do I want to share my life with them. Everything is different now.

I need to fight on for what's true and right but took a break that I can't seem to come back from.

One thing people in America havent experienced in America is food rationing.
The other is under employment the millions.
Civil uprising is a possibility possibly starting in May.
Why would l say this, well its starts with the elderly just giving u p
In this country this is epidemic, shoplifting from the elderly just to survive.
In America l guess its called break and grab and run.
I cant see anything getting better with NO LEADERSHIP in D.C.

Why should the Elite change their basic Game Plan ? Why change a winning formula ?

Their victims are 90% + stupid ( IQ under 120) , at least as many are Gullible and most are lazy -- they are happy to

regurgitate because they would not know how to research properly even if you gave them

deerstalkers and magnifying glasses .

Nothing has really changed for me. I don't give a crap about COVID and I don't give a crap about a war between two evil governments fighting a proxy war for the New World Order.

The only thing I care about is the victims of the crimes perpetrated on them by these evil bastards who manufactured COVID and the war. People deserve better.

Thanks for posting this: it's bold and honest.

Wetiko: a mind virus that preys upon the blind spots in the human psyche, leading to a person to first demonize, then control some "other" than themselves; the enemy of civilization, whereby people become convinced that everyone else is "infected" whilst they have been spared. The only temporary "cure": a deep, long look into Jung's Ego Mirror at the Shadow Selves of greed and fear.

My take from collating/reading/absorbing for the past six years, then putting it through the "gut" check:

1) In the U.S., Republicans take Congress in November; scandals come out that damage Dems/Biden, ground gets laid for "other" side to run things for a while
2) official recession
2) Repubs take White House in next election; war footing begins
3) uneven ground with disruptions at the "folk" level, but not too different from what we've been through of late
4) first term of Repub in White House fairly okay
5) about five years, maybe ten at the very latest...
6) War, probably involving China, Iran et al, India a wild card, Russia playing all sides, against some typically allied West; this is where the last stages of the Pre-Alien One World Order (at least the part those of us over fifty will see in our lifetimes) takes place; most of us on the ground don't see or feel this part right away (see WW II aftermath--it all goes back to to that); this next war will also imo involve some nuclear weapon being set off, and some kind of serious resurgence of Covid or like viruses--this last part is where the psych ops of "the last virus scare was bull#" will come into play--if it's actually more deadly, etc. than this one, people won't listen or follow the next time around and boom... very high death tolls, particularly in poor/developing nations, and amongst poor populations within the richer nations. Big population culling as AI and robotics come into fore from all of the war technology bump (again, see WW II aftermath here).

The possibility of another virus--and really, think it through whether every major nation/player on earth would have gone through and put the people through all this #e for the past two to three years for it all to just "go away and not come back", an entire re-ordering of society for TWO years only?--no, this age of Super Viruses is at this point in the Covid the only real reason to consider some version of the vax *if* they work out the bugs and bull# and start being honest about consequences and effects--if you're entirely unvaxxed and this bio-weapon # has only just begun, it might get dangerous until somewhere down the line it's too late. Natural immunity may not be enough for man-made bio-war, and that's a hard thing for some of our strongest, healthiest, most common sense people to think about.

These are all of course opinions and speculation. No one can really say what will happen, just keep yer eyes open and be both as prepared and accepting as possible. That both is and is not a paradox. a reply to: FlyInTheOintment

All I feel is that there isn't enough revenge on those that drop the turds on us.

TPTB keep them dropping but change the colour slightly to match each agenda under a certain budget without the ability to cover more than one "whoppa" at a time because they are usually BIG ones.

The thing I try to do is keep looking up to see what's next to avoid living in a constant state of fear and frustration when the latest news says "look here".

I stuck to my guns in the scandemic and boy am I glad I don't have crap in my veins.

ATS has been a true inspiration when it comes to scrutinising EVERYTHING. The last couple of years has been a pillar of strength to many I'm sure. Friends in the dark who light the way.

From a Boat Rocker to a Fly In The Ointment....Great thread.

What do you mean no leadership in America as those who are in charge seem to want no food, no gas, and no hope for the average pedestrian. They are leading to a spot where you will own nothing even if you are miserable. That is what socialist and communist do....make everyone miserable equally ...

Something looks a bit weird as covid became a non story as Ukraine kicked off. Still a bit of covid doom porn around, not as much with the depopulation counter narrative gaining strength.

Looks like it sucks to be in Ukraine at it is getting squashed between east and west. As for what is really going on there? I don't know. At a guess it looks like Putin is trying to denazify the region. Anyway, it has made a convenient distraction from all the usual covid fear campaign.

At the moment we are in a change of elections cycles here. A big Pharma puppet took the recent state election, pushed backed an end to the mandates by 2 weeks so far and looking at changing the state of emergency legislation. Don't see much resistance if the WHO tells him to jump.

The federal election is still a month or two away, so the government is in suck up mode and pretending to be nice again, for now. Give it a few months once the game of musical chairs settles down and will not be surprised if tyranny puts it foot back on the gas peddle.

For now it looks like the government has gotten all those they could pressure to take the jab take it. Now they are on the program most will comply. I know there are some not wanting to go along with the booster shots, The first couple messed them up enough.

Longer term, the plan by the WEF is to tank the national currencies and bring in its own Global digital currency. Russia is currently leading the push back on that one. If it does go gold backed and gets supported by the other BRICS nations it will be a good challenge to it. Counterfeiting by a foreign actor will still be a risk with those trying to destroy a currency.

As for the next round of covid, it is a high risk as the bio labs continue without account.

If dealing with all this madness on a daily basis does not do your head in, something is wrong. For the past few months I have had to step back from all, taken other breaks over the years. In an emergency, the first priority is to look after yourself, you are no good to anyone if messed up.

Covid will never be over until there is nothing left to be gained from it. IMO covid was just the seasonal flu with a new name. I cant help but notice that seasonal flu deaths almost disappeared as covid deaths were rising. The overall death rate didn't change much, but the pips shifted from one column to the next. And thus was born the "covid-related death".

There is always a new disaster waiting to keep us glued to our tv's, praying for divine intervention in the form of government handouts in exchange for lost liberty. Every time I watch the news I feel like I am listening to Nigel Tufnel, the guitar player from Spinal Tap, explaining why his amps go to eleven...

While I dont doubt there are elements taking advantage of the war to keep chipping away at our right sand such.,..

I hate the use of the word psy op in regards to the war in ukraine, I really do; people have died, lost family, lose homes it is a war.

In the rush to see behind the curtain dont close off your humanity in regards to the people suffering to try and figure out the next steps the man behind the curtain will take.

Because once you stop caring that people are suffering are you any different than the people pulling the strings?

Indeed.
But in my mind, the "war" in Ukraine (in quotes because is it an "official" war yet? does it matter? not really...) is one thing, and as you remind, dead people, destroyed lives, etc. are not a psych ops. However, much of the social media and mainstream media is engaged in a lot of posturing, propaganda, etc. in regard to what's happening. Always extreme, always hysterical.
It's two different things pretty much all of the time these days: what's actually happening on the ground to actual people; and the usually ridiculously over simplified "narrative" that, once spun, cannot be unspun or even altered in many people's minds. That's psych ops.

Just because the media wasn't focusing on covid as much doesn't mean it went away or wasn't still happening.

Something (the war on Ukraine) unseated it as the top story is all.

And perhaps, because it became harder to find the updates we were so used to being spoon fed constantly, it just appeared to everyone (yes, even you) that covid was gone, going away, not a thing anymore simply because many people's brains simply can't handle more than one big thing happening at once or don't think it's real if they need to go out seeking it.

Just a thought.

Fair point, I can accept that.

the propagandists on both sides have driven me up a wall, as each side pretends only they speak the truth.

“In war, truth is the first casualty.”

Has taken on new meaning with this conflict.

No, it hasn't taken on new meaning. In every war ever fought this has been the case, and it is your duty to believe (or pretend to believe) and support (or pretend to support) the story that supports your side.

So those here will have to admit they are easily manipulated. How surprising! LOL!

To be angry about M&Ms, Dr. Suess, Big Bird, Disney.

I understand Tucker Carlson is upset at Etch-A-Sketch now.

Whatever pisses people off seems to work in manipulating people. It doesn't matter if it's something important as long as the "hate addicts" get their daily fix.

At the onset of Covid, I joked that maybe the whole thing was concocted to get rid of Trump. The joke being that who would nuke the entire world economy just to oust one president? Who would kill so many innocents for one political maneuver?

It was just a joke.

Maybe.
