“The narrative illusion introduces a “mind virus”, which is a syntactical contagion that spreads through communicative vectors & colonizes the cognitive biases of the targeted individual’s psychology..” ― James Scott, Senior Fellow, The Center for Cyber Influence Operations Studies

That is how the US media and propaganda machine operates.

It would be interesting to analyse how the mind-virus works,
and what tricks are being used.

The most common themes:

  • the black/white propaganda of almost every topic. Example: open borders versus put children in cages.

  • Making personal opinion a political issue. Example: you must call trans a certain way.

  • Making it forbidden to call out bad people. Example: gang rapists.

  • Put real whistleblowers in jails. And accuse people using fake witnesses.

  • Accuse other people of what you are doing. Example: election interference.

  • Place actors in news.

  • Let liars speak, and support their clear lies. Example: russia-gate, impeachment.

  • Create support with controlled opposition or fake opposition. Example: impeachment.

  • Create support by creating chaos. Example: Covin-19

  • Make enemies of former friendly nations. Example: Russia.

  • Best friends with actual enemies. Example: Israel, Saudi Arabia

We must all regain the power and control of our minds! It ain't easy but practice makes perfect!
