Mindset that enabled pandemic psyop

2020 will always be known as the year when everything changed.

The whole world was plunged into a frenzy of fear thanks to mass propaganda churned out by the world's institutions, corporations and legacy media.

But why did hardly anyone even try to ask questions? More than four years on and people are still comatose, clicking onto Netflix, back into work, acting like it was nothing but a bad dream.

And how were entire nations hoodwinked into falling for this biggest of psyops, perpetuated by unelected globalist bureaucrats? A psychological experiment conducted by Professor Stanley Milgram can shed light on the psychology behind this phenomenon.

In 1974, Obedience to Authority, the book about the groundbreaking studies, was published by Milgram, who had been conducting experiments since the early 1960s on how people trust and obey those in power without question.

The result of these experiments showed how far a person was willing to go, when listening to the one who applied pressure, to obey to the point of causing great harm or even death.

The experiment involved three characters: a professor, a subject, and a learner. The learner was wired to a machine, from which they would receive electric shocks. The learner was expected to memorise a pair of words and recite them back to the subject in the correct order.

The subject's role was to push the lever, and incrementally increase the voltage, each time the learner gave an incorrect answer.
