In recent years, people have been conditioned to accept totalitarian policies that they have never complied with in the past. This social conditioning, according to officials in the United Kingdom, will make it easier to force the public to comply during the next pandemic. Professor David Halpern, CEO of the UK’s Behavioral Insights Team, also known as the “Nudge Unit,” told The Telegraph that the public is now more likely to comply with a future lockdown because they “know what the drill is.” When it comes to policies such as social distancing, mandates on protective masks, and others, Halpern said people have become so used to it that some even feel odd without them. “Put it this way,” he said. “You would feel like, ‘Oh my God, I haven’t got my mask.' You feel naked, right?” He also suggested that people have been conditioned similarly to Pavlov’s Dogs. In the famous Soviet experiment, researchers conditioned a dog to salivate at the sound of a bell. Under the COVID lockdowns, people were similarly conditioned. Halpern suggested that posters now work as these triggers. “When you go into a shop or somewhere else, it re-reminds you, it cues, it acts as a trigger for the behavior,” he said. In all this, the public was subject to a massive information campaign. And while it may be true that people learned to comply, some were so conditioned that they still wear their masks. This phenomenon isn't limited to the UK but is a global one. It ties to the idea of a “shared response.” When it comes to fighting the virus, to saving lives, we’re all in this together. And as you may suspect, this ties back to the World Health Organization. As we speak, the WHO even has U.S. backing under a pending Pandemic Treaty that would give powers to the agency over future pandemics. The WHO declared the official end to the COVID-19 pandemic in May. But that same month, they set the stage for the next one, the next path to keep those COVID powers in place. They say we all need to prepare, not for COVID, but for a disease that’s even deadlier. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told a meeting of the World Health Assembly in Geneva that the world has come out of a “long, dark tunnel” of COVID, and that we can all carry on with our lives as we used to. However, it’s not over yet; the next pandemic could be right around the corner. |

A new variant could cause “new surges of disease and death,” he said. “The threat of another pathogen emerging with even deadlier potential remains.” So what is the variant? What is the new pathogen? Well, he actually doesn’t know. It doesn’t exist. But what’s important is that it might exist—at least one day. “When the next pandemic comes knocking—and it will—we must be ready to answer decisively, collectively, and equitably,” according to Tedros. What’s important, it appears, is that in the meantime, those COVID power structures are kept in place. As Tedros stated, “We cannot simply carry on as we did before.” And the top priority he said, is to remember the lesson “that we can only face shared threats with a shared response.” In other words, we need a global body to manage a “shared response” to that next and deadly pandemic. Hey, maybe a global body such as the WHO? And maybe powers for a shared response, such as a global “Pandemic Treaty.” Now, that may all sound concerning. But really, how often do pandemics happen? For most people, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime crisis. Maybe not even that. And even outbreaks in the past didn’t see the type of global lockdowns and mandates that COVID-19 ushered in. So, we could assume they won’t declare another pandemic, right? Well, apparently not. It appears now that just about any virus or disease is a “public health crisis,” and that just about any outbreak can be deemed a “pandemic.” It actually goes beyond pandemics now. There are new and greater threats. Maybe even three times as serious as a pandemic. Take, for instance, the new one: the “tripledemic!” As The New York Times reported, the new health crisis is already upon us. And luckily, we already have a response to it, a way to stop it in its tracks. And that is: a new vaccine. It states, “To prevent a repeat of last winter’s “tripledemic” of respiratory illnesses, Americans will be encouraged to roll up their sleeves not just for flu shots but for two other vaccines, one of them entirely new.” It notes that U.S. health officials are now encouraging three shots: the flu shot, the COVID shot, and the RSV shot. Part of what we’re seeing is a new definition of viruses and diseases, in general. It’s no longer just the seasonal flu—now it’s the next pandemic, the next “global health crisis.” And with all of these—seemingly any outbreak, no matter how small—the new systems that got a taste of power and authority kick into gear to satiate their hunger, with a desire to get those emergency powers back again. Unfortunately, the concepts of “pandemics” and “global health emergencies” are taking on new meaning. They’re now loaded terms. They’re now tied in with the medical-industrial complex, and with many government powers that come packaged alongside the designation, on a global scale. It’s like a communist dream package: the ability to censor people, change election policy, restrict movement, shut down select businesses, and so on. It’s a legal avenue to alter the laws of nations, to social engineer the winners and losers, and to manufacture what emerges from the destruction. |
