PERCEPTION versus REALITY - “Perception is reality” - BUT IS IT? Maybe it’s Fake News and Blatant Lies? Perception may be defined as the recognition and interpretation of sensory information. Perception also includes how we respond to information. Information alone is of little use unless it comes together with understanding.
My career as a system engineer 50 years ago progressively expanded into many associated fields of research, one of which was knowledge engineering, which is a field of artificial intelligence (AI), that tries to emulate the judgment and behaviour of a human expert in a given field. Knowledge engineering is the technology behind the creation of expert systems to assist with issues related to their programmed field of knowledge.
A simplified observation, published in my book, claims that “Knowledge empowers and releases positive energy which is a mantra of the quality control professional: ‘If I don’t know, I can’t act.’ This implies that knowledge offers the power to get into action. We are so fortunate today to have the Internet, easily and freely available, offering an amazing amount of information, but without an understanding, we can’t claim it to be knowledge:
‘Data’ are just jumbled up numbers, symbols, and letters, they are chaotic
‘Information’ is organised data, collected in such a way as to be read
‘Knowledge’ is understanding information and gaining meaning
‘Wisdom’ is the prudent application of knowledge carefully applied
[The Financial Jigsaw - Part 1 - page 28]”
Perception is a process where sensory information from the environment is assimilated and used to build a unique understanding of a personal, internal picture of the world.
Perception is a way of conceiving something, creating a mindset from which to view people, events, products, services, and information. Belief generates a perception of an accurate inner-world map. Although the perception feels very real, it is not necessarily factual, true, or real.
This causes the trusting observer to be misled by cleverly manipulated dis-, miss, or mal-information offered by professionals, especially those in the intelligence and security communities. Governments and ruling elites understand this and use their power of control to influence perceptions and actions in their favour, aka 'Propaganda' which was covered in the last issue. One effective defence against this assault on human dignity is to hone critical thinking skills. Sources

PERCEPTION IS REALITY?
CRITICAL THINKING is one key to surviving the onslaught of the Globalist Silent Weapons. Eight Barriers to Critical Thinking, by Mike Saxton, Ph.D. [Extract: "…Evaluating a statement based on who said it instead of on the merits of the statement itself. In this case, people accept a statement as true, simply because they like or respect the person who said it (regardless of whether the statement is true). In contrast, they reject a similar statement when it comes from a person they do not respect".]
When leaders use the phrase “perception is reality” they are making assumptions about other people’s understanding without taking the time to learn if their perception is accurate. To ‘assume’ is to make an ‘ass’ out of ‘u and me’. The phrase is rooted in a lack of humility and general hubris associated with ego-driven personality disorders, so commonly found amongst our leaders, who are inveterate liars. The sad reality is that they believe in their perceptions most of the time driven by greed and the desire to control others.
According to psychologists, a more accurate phrase is “perception is my reality.” Leaders often use “perception is reality” as a heuristic due to their misplaced beliefs, based on misunderstanding, coupled with disinterest in asking probing questions, to understand the truth of the matter. Having the maturity to ask questions, and determine why takes time, patience, and humility.
Is there a reason some people could see through the fake scamdemic and fake news, but many cannot? The 2020 COVID-19 scamdemic was a pivotal event that caused Mass Formation Psychosis among billions worldwide. Some fully accepted the government narrative, and restrictions, and wore the masks proudly, which are a masonic symbol of slavery; but some critical thinkers could see what was happening.
Many millions worldwide have seen through the deceptions over the last three years. However, those people who could see the truth were unable to convince others no matter how hard they tried. Equally, those who believed the ‘scientists’ and government narratives were equally unable to convince ‘conspiracy theorists’ of their perceptions of truth. Source
In March 2020, as the most of world ground to a halt in the face of the Covid-19 scare, populations were simultaneously preached to by establishment media and corrupted politicians about the threat of impending death. A threat that was propagandised by the corporate-owned and government media with incomplete, pseudo-science (scientism), pressuring everyone to get the jab. The fact that most of the people of the world were simultaneously forced to ‘stop’, signalled that a major change in the world had been attempted. https://www.globalresearch.ca/mask-wearer-versus-non-mask-wearer-why-most-people-couldnt-see-the-lies/5848646
THE STOCKHOLM SYNDROME. There are many examples of Stockholm Syndrome, which describes the psychological condition of a victim who identifies and empathises with their captor, abuser, and their demands. A recent BBC article talked about the House of Lords bemoaning “misinformation” about EVs and mentioned a government website, which appears to offer ‘truth’, but it’s pure gaslighting.
HMG was trying to convince the public that the facts say something they don’t! HERE is a full analysis of this propaganda model: Quote: “If a business had provided such misleading advertising, the Advertising Standards Agency would have come down on them like a ton of bricks”, but for an exempt government it’s ‘One rule for them, another for us’!
A MAJORITY IS NOT REQUIRED TO CHANGE THE WORLD
Everett Rogers (1962) proves the point with his 'Diffusion of Innovation Theory', not only applicable to products but also to politics. The theory proposes that it takes around 16% uptake to adopt a new product, technology, or ideology, to have the potential to become a success. The stages by which a person adopts an innovation, and whereby diffusion is accomplished, include awareness of the need for an innovation, decision to adopt (or reject) the innovation, initial use of the innovation to test it, and continued use of the innovation. It was also made popular in the book Tipping Point.
This widely acclaimed bestseller, in which Malcolm Gladwell explores, and brilliantly illuminates the tipping point phenomenon, is already changing the way people throughout the world think about disseminating ideas. This is also the basis of Complex Adaptive Systems which are explored in my book about the global financial system (link at the end).
The masses went from comfortable sheep in a flock, offering protection and reassurance, to the dangers of an increasingly indiscernible world. They became anxious and nervous sheep wondering which brave one would challenge the psychotic Alpha leading them toward the abyss. Meantime the Alpha continued towards the abysm, enjoying a giant game of chicken, whilst assuming the sheep would comply.
As history has shown, there is no for need a majority to fundamentally change the course of history. The 3.5% rule proves in practice that only a tiny minority is required to conjure massive world changes in society and it’s happening today; it’s called The Fourth Turning - a rendezvous with destiny. The question is this: “How much abuse and terror will it take before turning the other cheek is not an option?”
The type of condescending and unearned sense of entitlement that drives the very ghouls who convened at Davos last month, in an attempt to force a rebuild of trust, is an example of Stockholm Syndrome writ large. Observing social media and the headlines of protests around the world, it’s clear we’re very close to, if not past the 16%, tipping point.
Harari implied that the masses are merely abreacting to the opposite of Davos, saying that rejecting the liberal order is not enough; the opposition of freedom warriors has to have something better to offer. And of course, there are many options to create a world free from centralised totalitarianism, but Harari doesn’t want that solution; the WEF wants total control.
HERE is VERY GOOD NEWS from Down Under – ‘The Chess Rant’ - Why we are winning! (‘X’/Twitter). AND more evidence of ‘Team Humanity’ winning against the UN/WEF.
Klaus Schwab’s sudden rebranding of the Great Reset as a “humanocracy” is especially bizarre given other WEF members are explicitly anti-human, arguing that a 90% reduction in the global population of humans would solve the Globalists’ “problems” and “help” them achieve their “Net Zero” goals. Top WEF member Dennis Meadows has notably called for a staggering 86% reduction in the human population thus leaving around one billion survivors – I wonder where they’ll be found? Given that 9% of the global population resides in the southern hemisphere, I guess we will be OK in South Africa.
Though Schwab has rebranded his Great Reset as “humanocracy,” in practice, the plan is the same as his transhumanist approach: a “fusion” between humans and technology on a physical level so they can be easily controlled by a central global government.
Schwab’s sudden adoption of pro-human terminology appears to be a response to the populist pushback against the WEF’s Great Reset. Elon Musk and Alex Jones coined the term “Team Humanity” to describe the anti-globalist campaign that’s spearheading the Great Awakening. Watch Schwab’s full remarks.

WHY WE ARE WINNING – THIS IS REALITY
According to an American general, the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan was not so much a real war as a “war of perception”. Thus, the recent “liberation of the city of Marja”, from the Taliban’s “command and control structure”, was pure Hollywood. Marja is not a city; there were no Taliban command and control centres. The ‘heroic liberators’ killed and injured the usual civilians, the poorest of the poor.
Otherwise, it was fake. A war of perception is meant to provide fake news for the folks back home and make a failed colonial adventure seem worthwhile and patriotic, as if the movie, The Hurt Locker were real and parades of flag-wrapped coffins through the Wiltshire town of Wooten Basset were not a cynical propaganda exercise.
“War is fun”, the helmets in Vietnam used to say with the bleakest irony, meaning that if a war is revealed as having no purpose other than to justify voracious power in the cause of lucrative fanaticisms such as the weapons industry, the danger of truth beckons.
This danger can be illustrated by the liberal perception of Tony Blair in 1997 as one “who wants to create a world [where] ideology has surrendered entirely to values” (Hugo Young, the Guardian) compared with today’s public reckoning of a liar and war criminal. Western war-states such as the USA and Britain are not threatened by the Taliban or any other introverted tribesmen in faraway places but by the anti-war instincts of their citizens. Sources

FORTY YEARS HAVE PASSED…
…SINCE GEORGE ORWELL envisioned the stomping boot of Big Brother on the face of mankind. The Police State is about to transmogrify into the Surveillance State. Fuelled by a melding of government and corporate power, and the rise of the ‘Security Industrial Complex’, this watershed moment sounds like a death knell for our privacy rights. 1984, which depicted the ominous rise of ubiquitous technology, fascism, and totalitarianism, has become an operation manual for the omnipresent, modern-day surveillance state.
An unofficial Fourth Branch of Government, the Surveillance State, came into being without an electoral mandate or constitutional referendum, and yet it possesses superpowers above and beyond those of any other government agency save the military. It operates beyond the reach of government and the courts, and it marches in lockstep with the corporate elite who call the shots. This is the new face of tyranny in the Anglosphere. Sources

BIG PHARMA – THE MOST PRECIOUS THING IN LIFE IS YOUR HEALTH
Many have reflected on the fact that Big Pharma has a perverse incentive to promote ill health because its profits depend on it. However, few understand how elaborate its efforts are to achieve those profits. Their modus operandi, according to American podcaster and former professor of evolutionary biology, Bret Weinstein describes the pharmaceutical industry as an intellectual property racket.
Big Pharma patents molecules, compounds, technologies, and then looks for diseases against which their patents can be applied. Big Pharma is engaged in a continuous effort to portray its intellectual properties as more useful and safer than they are and greases the palm of the medical establishment, journals, medical societies, hospitals, and government to direct people toward drugs they wouldn’t otherwise take.
When COVID-19 happened, the industry was more than prepared to take advantage. The introduction of the mRNA platform technology was central to the entire COVID response. The technology has a lethal flaw that would prevent it from getting to the market under normal circumstances. The COVID scamdemic allowed Big Pharma to bypass this obstacle and deploy this incredibly lucrative technology.
By way of amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR) and the Pandemic Treaty, the World Health Organization (WHO) seeks to achieve global dominion and total control of the masses under the guise of public health

MODERN DAY MEDICINE was founded by John D. Rockefeller (1839 - 1937)
He knew nothing about medicine but owned lots of oil. He claimed all medical treatments should be based on petroleum, the world bought it and he became the richest man on earth. He had lobbied and bribed governments, health agencies, regulators, universities, and so on.
He went on a mission to seize complete control over the worldwide medical industry and turned it from natural, healing care that has few side effects, to drugs made from highly toxic petrochemicals that have many, often lethal, side effects. Rockefeller accomplished his mission by buying the entire medical education industry by dictating to millions of doctors and nurses how to act.
Medical education is not called "healing" but "medicine". Doctors are not educated on how to heal people but they are trained to know what medicines to sell to their patients. The majority of medical practitioners don't understand even the most basic principles of the human body, ignore the effects of food or lifestyle, and never look into natural ways to help the body recover, but they do repeat what John D. Rockefeller dictated – for profit.
This explains why so many medical professionals had no problem misdiagnosing, mistreating, and murdering millions of people during the scamdemic. It's why they have no problem injecting people with experimental cocktails of undisclosed toxic substances. They don't want to think about what they are doing, and have no awareness of the effects of their actions because they have been trained to be unquestioning adherents to the Rockefeller philosophy of ‘medical science’.
Rockefeller also founded the World Health Organisation. The WHO was not founded to help humanity become healthier but to strengthen the monopoly of the global healthcare industry. WHO director, Tedros is not a medical doctor, nor has he any understanding of healthcare, but he is a former terrorist member of the Ethiopian Communist Party.
Global healthcare today is largely dictated by Bill Gates, who knows nothing about healthcare and has no medical training, yet he has been positioned as the world's leading voice on ‘vaccination’. He drives the entire world population to get repeatedly injected with his untested and extremely toxic vaccines.
Hundreds of millions have died or suffered permanent damage after being jabbed with his toxic cocktails of dangerous poisons. Gates has stated that investing in vaccines was his best business decision ever, making him wealthier than even the computer industry. According to ‘Famous Kin’, Bill Gates is related to Nelson Rockefeller, thus Gates and the Rockefeller Institute are in the same camp, collaborating to have humanity submit to their villainous vaccination, medical surveillance, and control agendas.
The good news is that hundreds of millions of people are waking up from cognitive dissonance and discovering the truth about how the world works and the lies they have been told. Mankind has been lied to for decades following WW2 on an incomprehensible scale. It has infiltrated all institutions, schools, colleges, and universities through a captured MSM, bought and paid for doctors, politicians, scientists, and even churches. They are all owned by the same people who tell us what they want us to believe through their toxic propaganda and persistent PsyOp.

Just not going along with the hypothesis that “mass formation psychosis” truly exists because it removes personal responsibility. Accountability is what makes us different than lemmings diving off a cliff into the sea. The implications of accepting MFP as reality is enormous and must be proven or justice cannot exist and data cannot become a pattern or method of defining reality. What use is intelligence if MFP can dissolve it in a matter of months?
