Speaker 0 outlines how manipulation operates and four simple ways to protect yourself, noting it is pervasive in deception and will also discuss the “purring war” surrounding Trump. A time-saving tip is to use the word “So” or “That’s all you have to say,” letting Mark Levine fill in, with “Nazi” repeated in response. The speaker emphasizes game theory: treat others as they treat you, including groups like signists, who censor those they deem antisemitic. People should be excluded from power if they meddle in others’ lives. He gives examples about racism and hiring, mentioning Amish people and Coca Cola, suggesting social backlash from lip-tart critics. He asserts Monsanto’s history of slave ownership (Sephardi Jews as slave traders) and claims a broader point about who is reminded about slave-owning founders while not highlighting Jewish slave owners. He references Intuition Machine and vows to complement it regarding manipulation. Identity and perception are discussed: you have an identity you believe in, formed from background, family, and nation, and you ground your views on what you directly know through feeling, hearing, and seeing; physical causation and genuine human interaction round out three grounding pillars. Reasoning often relies on hearsay—information passed through others—which can create a grounding gap; as data moves through many steps, each step can be manipulated by those aiming to distort thinking. The four manipulation methods are described as follows: - Filtering: presenting only part of the picture (e.g., one war side’s crimes reported, climate data showing warming globally but not locally) and using imagery that frames dictators or enemies in a particular way, with crafted scenes to provoke a specific response. - Presence of actors: conversations that seem honest but involve actors such as Ben Shapiro or Greta, implying that what you hear may be staged; Greta’s honesty is acknowledged but interactions may be manipulated. - Slogans and identity tactics: slogans like MAGA tie to policy implications and identity, enabling manipulation by aligning beliefs with a brand; also, fallacies and de-emphasizing evidence through various tricks. - Other tactics: ad hominem attacks, false authorities, poisoning the well, weaponizing identity (e.g., American identity or Patriot Act), social-proof coercion (being excluded from family events without vaccination), filter bubbles, paid demonstrators, and slow escalation tactics (foot in the door to gradual war). To protect yourself, he advises checking whether data are genuine and complete, identifying red flags, and distinguishing real causation from correlation. He suggests asking whether data were constructed, whether there are missing data, and whether the actor is genuine or merely performing. He stresses staying close to direct experience and engaging with people you disagree with to test dogma. He also mentions several contemporary geopolitical topics and individuals to illustrate the manipulation and political dynamics, including discussions on the Purim War narrative, Trump’s alliances and criticisms, and various military developments in the Middle East, Europe, and the U.S. Toward conclusions, the defense is to assess data authenticity, identify red herrings, determine whether the scene is theater or genuine, and consider who is speaking and whether they are an actor. The talk ends with a note about posting a cat video on Substack or X.

Speaker 0 describes Tim Ballard as having worked with Glenn Beck to build Underground Railroad, portraying Beck as Ballard’s close ally whenever Ballard needed to break a story on child trafficking. When Ballard considered running for Senate and would have likely won with momentum after the Sound of Freedom release, attacks began, and Glenn Beck reportedly “threw him under the bus.” Speaker 0 asserts that Beck pledged allegiance to Israel, is “bought and paid for,” and “Israel's bitch,” claiming Ballard watched a video and realized this. Speaker 1 adds a claim about theSound of Freedom narrative: the child trafficking ring Ballard busted in South America, depicted in the movie, was an Israeli-run sex trafficking ring, run by Israelis. The head of that ring allegedly escaped to Portugal where a judge let him go, and nobody knows where this guy ended up. The speakers state that this is the real story of Sound of Freedom and that “It was an Israeli run sex trafficking ring,” noting that this is not told to the audience and urging others to research it. Speaker 1 then transitions to commentary on Twitter, stating that Twitter is not a free speech platform and is not an open information highway; it is a military application, a propaganda operation, highly bodied, highly artificial, highly synthetic, and manipulated. They acknowledge using it daily but emphasize that not everything is as it seems on the platform. They caution that prominent accounts cannot be taken at face value because campaigns are run, the algorithm is manipulated, and there are bots and unauthentic accounts. The speakers urge awareness of the battlefield on which Twitter is engaged, and advise developing a wary eye toward content, encouraging audiences to examine profiles, retweets, boosts, follows, and networks to understand who is using the same messaging and why.

To undermine democratic institutions, it's not necessary for people to believe the information. The key is to flood the public space with misinformation, doubts, and conspiracy theories. This creates confusion and erodes trust in leaders, media, institutions, and even among citizens themselves. When people no longer know what to believe or trust, the damage is done.

In this session, the speaker discusses how disinformation is not just about lies, but also about distorting and manipulating the truth. They introduce the 4 D's model: dismiss, distort, distract, and dismay. The audience is given cards to identify these tactics in quotes from different organizations. They discuss examples of dismiss, distort, and distract, and someone adds a fifth D, divide. The session focuses on the various ways people twist stories and attack those who present uncomfortable evidence.

The way to win is to flood a country's public square with raw sewage. Raise enough questions, spread enough dirt, and plant enough conspiracy theories so that citizens no longer know what to believe. Once people lose trust in their leaders, the mainstream media, political institutions, each other, and the possibility of truth, the game is won.

Successful covert influence campaigns don't create societal fractures. Instead, they identify pre-existing fractures and exploit them to further divide populations. This exploitation of existing divisions is presented as an "iron law of physics" governing covert influence.

Speaker 0: In February and March 2026, I'll be back on the road in Hull, Gateshead, Derby, and Colchester. 2026 is when they want to cross the line as fast as they can into an AI controlled humanity. We stand up now or we regret it forever. That's four dates. Speaker 0: I recorded an edition of a show for iconic.com called Legacy, relating the content of my books to today. A central concept is what I labeled in the 1990s as problem reaction solution, also known as a false flag. The idea is to create a situation—war, terrorist attack, banking collapse, or something similar—then present the version of the problem you want the public to believe to provoke outrage and urgency. Then you covertly create the problem, evoke a public reaction, and openly offer the solutions you’ve already prepared. Speaker 0: Nine-Eleven is given as a classic example: attack on New York and Washington, blame Arab terrorists, claim Osama bin Laden and the Taliban orchestrated it. The reaction is “do something,” followed by the invasions of Afghanistan and other Middle Eastern countries. In response to Bondi Beach, the point is made that representatives may not truly represent the people, and a global network I call the global cult drives dystopia through digital AI means, operating through governments, intelligence agencies, and militaries worldwide. Even leaders such as presidents or prime ministers may not serve their nations’ people but the global cult’s interests. Speaker 0: One center of this global cult’s operations is Israel, established in 1948 for that purpose. The claim is that leadership claiming to represent Jewish people operates for the global cult rather than Jewish communities, and may even sacrifice Jewish lives to advance its aims through problem reaction solution. The Gaza crisis since October 7 is described as the world’s large-scale trauma, with statements about the Israeli government’s psychopathy and a super psychopathology characterized by a complete lack of empathy and deletion of compassion. The question is whether such leaders can truly have compassion for fellow Jews if they are driven by a broader agenda. Speaker 0: Regarding October 7, the Gaza border fence is described as the world’s most defended border, with sensors so sensitive that even a small animal would be detected. Yet Hamas breached the fence in multiple places, and there were reports of a stand-down by the Israeli defense forces, allowing the cross-border assault and hostage-taking. The outcome, it’s claimed, was used by Netanyahu to justify mass slaughter and destruction in Gaza, with talk of plans to take over land and expel Palestinians. The narrative then shifts to global perception, with some Christian Zionists wavering in support due to Gaza atrocities, and Israel allegedly funding influence campaigns to restore its global image, including money to American politicians and media interests. Speaker 0: When a new attack—Bondi Beach in Australia—occurs, Netanyahu publicly notes a Jewish man disarmed one of the attackers (though a Muslim did so), before retracting. This is presented as part of a pattern: calls to crack down on anti-Semitism, equating anti-Semitism with criticism of Israel and Zionism. The claim is that the only beneficiary is those who use such events to justify censorship and control of information, while the victims, including Jewish people who died or were injured, gain nothing. Speaker 0: The discussion reiterates that mind-control techniques exist and could drive individuals to commit mass violence without full awareness, referencing mind-control concepts like Manchurian candidates. The speaker urges asking “who benefits?” and considering elements of problem reaction solution and false flags in analyzing events, recognizing that appearances of representation do not guarantee genuine representation. For readers interested in more, the speaker directs to their books and content.

Speaker 0: When I first met Tim Ballard, he was in this wild legal fight, and Glenn Beck helped him build Underground Railroad. They were best friends. Whenever Sam or Tim needed to break a story about child trafficking, Glenn Beck was “his fucking dude.” Then Tim was considering running for Senate or Congress, and with the momentum from Sound of Freedom, he seemed like a shoo-in, and he was set to upset some politician. After those attacks began, Glenn Beck “threw him under the bus,” and Tim told me, “I can’t believe that Glenn would fucking do that to me.” That exact video I showed him—Tim’s friend pledging allegiance to Israel, “he’s bought and paid for,” “not your friend,” “controlled by our intelligence agencies,” “Israel’s bitch.” Tim watched that one video and said, “holy fuck.” Speaker 1: Ryan, you might know this—the child ring Tim Ballard busted up in South America, depicted in Sound of Freedom, was Israeli-run. It was run by Israelis. The head of that ring escaped to Portugal, where a judge basically let him go, and nobody knows where that guy ended up. That’s the real story of Sound of Freedom: an Israeli-run sex-trafficking ring. You’re not told that. Do research and find out about it. That’s who was running the ring. So there’s a lot of interconnection—it's always them, man. It always comes back to them. It seems to always come back to them. It’s like 6,000,000 to one odds. Speaker 0: Every single time. Every single time. It’s strange how that happens. But you wanna wrap it up, Sam? Speaker 1: Yeah. Let’s wrap it up. Listen, everybody. Twitter is not a free speech platform. It is not an open, super highway of information. It is a military application. It is a propaganda operation. It is highly bodied, highly artificial, highly synthetic and manipulated. I’m not saying don’t use it; I use it every day. We absolutely must use it as best we can, but I need everybody to be aware that not everything is as it seems on this platform. You cannot take this platform at face value. Many of the big accounts you see mainstream through your feed aren’t to be taken at face value. They’re running campaigns, being paid, boosted, the algorithm manipulated, with bots and unauthentic accounts. You must be aware of the battlefield you’re engaging on. And I’m not saying you should leave. On the contrary, I want you here, battling. But it’s not what it seems. There’s a lot of smoke and mirrors, shadows, espionage, and spy games on this platform, and you need to be savvy. Don’t develop mistrust of everybody, but develop a wary eye. Look at people’s Twitter profiles, scroll through their feeds, see who they’re retweeting, who they’re boosting, who they’re following, who their networks are, who’s using the same message.

In this video, the speaker delves into the tactics employed in psychological warfare to control people's minds. They emphasize the significance of understanding the opposition's playbook and how it can be utilized to manipulate individuals and masses. The power of misinformation, censorship, and fear in controlling the collective consciousness is discussed, along with psychological techniques such as neurolinguistic programming and compartmentalization. The speaker sheds light on covert operations, sex kittens, and psychic spies as elements of psychological warfare. Additionally, they mention the Soviet Union's strategy of ideological subversion to undermine the United States. The video underscores the importance of being aware of these tactics to safeguard our minds and society. Furthermore, the video highlights how children's minds are easily influenced, and through exposure to traumatic experiences and misinformation, they can be programmed. Examples like scaring children with nuclear threats or enforcing mask-wearing during the COVID-19 pandemic are given. The ultimate goal is to demoralize and destabilize the population, leading to a crisis and the establishment of a communist government. This process takes years and involves infiltrating various sectors of society. The government also employs psychological warfare to distract and divide the population while concealing classified technology that could benefit everyone. The video stresses the need to recognize these tactics and seek genuine information to break free from this manipulation.

To destabilize a country, one must inundate its public square with misinformation and doubt, eroding trust in leaders, media, institutions, and even fellow citizens. When people no longer believe in the concept of truth, the game is won.

The session discusses the use of misinformation tactics, including dismiss, distort, distract, and dismay. Participants analyze quotes to identify these tactics. Trump is cited as a prime example of spreading disinformation. The group also introduces a fifth tactic, divide, to the discussion. The audience actively engages in identifying these tactics throughout the session.

The speaker discusses a strategy to manipulate public opinion by creating confusion and mistrust. They mention flooding a country's public square with raw sewage, raising questions, spreading dirt, and promoting conspiracy theories. The goal is to make citizens lose trust in their leaders, the mainstream media, political institutions, and even each other. Once trust is lost, the game is won.

We are in a war most people don't even see. But it's not just bombs or bullets. It's information, technology, and control over what you believe. Every day, powerful forces shape the news you read and the thoughts you hold. This is fifth generation warfare. And whether you know it or not, you are already on the battlefield. The choice is yours. Remain unaware or recognize the fight and take a stand.

Our job is to control what people think by undermining the messaging.

To undermine a country, all it takes is flooding the public square with sewage-like information. By raising doubts, spreading rumors, and promoting conspiracy theories, citizens become unsure of what to believe. When trust in leaders, the media, institutions, and even each other is lost, the game is won.

The speaker lays out how manipulation works and how to protect yourself, framing four simple ways people try to deceive you and pointing to pervasive uses in current events and media. The discussion also touches on a chaotic overview of the Trump-era conflict and related political narratives. Key framework for manipulation: - Identity and grounding: You have an identity and background you believe in, and you use your intelligence to form models of the world based on three pillars: direct perception (what you feel, hear, see), physical causation (objects moving, events happening), and genuine human interaction. As you move away from these pillars, data can be manipulated at each step, creating a grounding gap where outside actors can distort your thinking. - Four ways to manipulate (presented as four distinct methods): 1) Filtering: Selecting or omitting information so the image you see is incomplete or distorted. For example, presenting one side of a war’s crimes or issues like global warming with selective reporting, leading to an incomplete picture. They note that correlations can appear without full context, and that entanglement or constructed scenes can mislead you. 2) The use of constructed scenes and misdirection: Seeing an image tied to a dictator or a positive scenario that is designed to push you toward a certain interpretation, not because of genuine causation but because the scene was created to influence thought. 3) The “actors” or inauthentic conversations: You may think you’re having an honest exchange, but the interlocutor is someone else (examples cited include Ben Shapiro or Greta Thunberg in some contexts) or an actor, suggesting that some discussions are not genuine expressions of belief but performances to manipulate views. 4) The combination of the above with propaganda tools: Slogans and branding (like MAGA) tie to identity and imply broader policy directions; fallacies and deceptive reasoning (ad hominem, false authorities, poisoning the well) prevent evidence from changing beliefs; social proof and identity coercion (pressure within groups, “you must be for/against this to belong”) can hijack thinking. - Consequences and signals of manipulation: They emphasize “grounding gaps” that appear when data is distant from direct perception and when intermediate steps between evidence and belief are introduced. They warn that correlation is not causation, and stress evaluating intent and construction (Was something created to fool you? Is it authentic? Are you seeing the complete data?). - Tactics used in campaigns and discourse: Overwhelming audiences with slogans, fear, and constructed narratives; making it hard to check the underlying data; deploying a filter bubble to isolate information; employing “foot in the door” to escalate commitments; and using paid demonstrations or orchestrated events to shape perception. - Defensive approach suggested: Ensure data authenticity and completeness, check for red herrings and missing information, distinguish genuine encounters from acted portrayals, and seek direct, grounded understanding of events rather than secondhand interpretations. Seek out genuine interactions with people you disagree with to test the strength of your conclusions. The speaker weaves in numerous political anecdotes and personal commentary about contemporary figures and events (Trump, Iran, Israel, Europe, media personalities, and various political actors) to illustrate how manipulation can operate in real-world contexts, while urging vigilance against data filtering, constructed scenarios, and identity-driven persuasion. The overall message centers on recognizing grounding gaps, interrogating data provenance, and prioritizing direct observation and authentic dialogue to protect one's reasoning from manipulation.

David Icke and an interviewer discuss a sweeping premise: the next major conflict may be over bodies and minds, not borders or money. The documentary The Human Antenna, and Icke’s new book The Roadmap, assemble claims that COVID injections, nanotechnology, and an AI-driven world are tools in a plan to fuse or fuse-with—rather than merely interface with—technology, potentially creating a world where humanity is connected to a larger hive mind and managed by AI. The interview frames this as not doom, but a path to “break free of this matrix.” Key ideas Icke presents - The end goal is an upgraded or downgraded human that is connected like hardware in an AI-managed system, forming a hive-mind reality. The film and book tie together claims about the COVID vaccines, nanotech, and a push toward AI-driven control, with a purported roadmap to escape this matrix. - A small, global elite—“the few”—exerts control by ensuring the many remain in rigid belief systems. By locking people into fixed identities (religious, political, cultural), they box minds and enable divide-and-rule. The aim is to prevent the many from uniting against the few who supposedly hold hidden knowledge and power. - Perception is the instrument of control. Information flow shapes perception, which shapes behavior. Censorship and mainstream media have been used to sculpt what people think. The COVID narrative is cited as a microcosm: a minority at the top of institutions allegedly pushed a narrative that coerced billions into actions (masking, vaccination) to protect against a deadly virus, thereby demonstrating how perception controls behavior. - Moving beyond information control, Icke argues the next stage is direct mind-to-machine fusion via AI “the cloud.” Ray Kurzweil and others have described a future in which human perception is supplied directly by AI, reducing or eliminating human thought and emotion as sources of perception. This would enable a new form of control. - Public figures are described as frontmen or “gophers” for a larger project. Musk is discussed as a case: initially positioned as AI-skeptic, Musk’s acquisition of Twitter (renamed X) is portrayed as part of a broader arc toward normalizing and accelerating AI fusion, with the platform acting as a propaganda arm for the AI agenda. The involvement of Trump and various tech magnates (Ellison, Altman, Palantir’s Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, David Sacks) is cited as surrounding the AI fusion push. - Creative destruction is the tactic used to move from one phase to the next. Major historical upheavals (World Wars, the Great Depression, Bretton Woods system) are described as steps in a long process that clears the way for a new global order. Trump’s role, according to Icke, is to dismantle the current system so the next phase—AI human fusion and total digital control—can be installed. - The next stage may rely on a global electromagnetic system. Icke argues that a hive mind could be fostered through AI and a network of electromagnetic fields, including satellites and 5G/6G, and, crucially, nanotech in vaccines. He cites graphene oxide as a nanomaterial that purportedly amplifies electromagnetic fields and can act as a superconductor, enabling outside frequencies to influence brain processing and perception. He claims self-replicating nanotech in vaccines could serve as a receiver within the body for hive-mind signals. - The role of the astral dimension and the simulation: Icke describes a non-human, astral realm that interacts with humanity through a multi-level simulation. The “global cult” operates in the astral dimension, manipulating human society via this simulation, which is encoded with rules akin to computer codes. The simulation aims to keep consciousness within a limited perceptual field, or “the ring past” (a wheel of samsara). Death and near-death experiences are discussed as experiences within this larger framework, with consciousness reincarnating and being drawn back into the simulation to learn lessons and continue the cycle. - Reincarnation and awakening: Icke references the research of psychiatrists like Ian Stevenson on children claiming past-life memories as evidence for reincarnation, arguing that consciousness, not bodies, reincarnates. He describes near-death experiences where consciousness passes through an electromagnetic field that erases memory, then returns to life through a mechanism akin to the “wheel of samsara.” Awakening, in his view, is expanding consciousness beyond the programmed perception to see through the simulation, leading toward an expansive self-identity that recognizes consciousness as part of an infinite spectrum of possibility. - The nature of reality and consciousness: The body is described as a biological computer; perception arises from frequency processing of signals through the senses. The matrix or information field is the interface that can be influenced by energy and frequency. High-vibrational states (love, harmony) versus low-vibrational states (fear, anger, hatred) are said to generate different energetic energies that certain astral entities feed on. The “gift” of satanic rituals, in this account, is the generation of low-vibrational energy that sustains these astral entities. Adrenochrome is mentioned as a drug-like byproduct associated with fear-based energy and sacrifice, powering the ritual system. - Death, fear, and freedom: Icke argues that breaking the program of the body through expanded consciousness allows one to escape control, and that true freedom involves transcending the limitations of self-identity as a human within the matrix. He recounts personal experiences of ridicule and persecution starting in the 1990s and emphasizes that awakening is not about dogma but about expanding awareness beyond rigid belief systems. - Practical takeaway: The interview promotes The Human Antenna and Icke’s Roadmap as resources to explore these ideas. It also points to his Iconic media projects and to the broader project of awakening by expanding self-identity beyond conventional frames of reality. Context and framing - The interview frames these claims as a cohesive system: a secretive global cult manipulating perception through information and, ultimately, technology; a push toward AI-driven consciousness fusion; and a multilevel reality including an astral dimension and a simulated environment. Icke presents both a diagnosis of contemporary events (COVID-19, political upheavals, tech mega-donors) and a metaphysical theory of reality that encompasses reincarnation, astral entities, and the nature of consciousness. - The dialogue occasionally revisits Icke’s personal journey—from a BBC sports presenter to a public figure with a controversial worldview via experiences in Peru and a transformative encounter with a spiritual healer, Betty Shine—and uses those episodes to ground a broader, ongoing project to reveal what he sees as hidden structures of power and reality. - The conversation ends with a note that the discussion can continue in future encounters, and with a recommendation to watch The Human Antenna and to read The Roadmap for a deeper dive into these themes.

Throughout history, leaders and generals have used distraction, deception, untruths, and a mix of truth in military campaigns. According to Speaker 1, the government is capable of disinformation campaigns, psychological operations, and information warfare. Speaker 1 claims to have participated in information warfare campaigns against Al Qaeda and ISIS, involving deception, lies, misinformation, and disinformation to sway the audience. Speaker 1 believes QAnon is a well-executed SIOP (Single Integrated Operational Plan) directed against the American people.

Speaker 0, speaking in March 2024, argues for “deflating” the system. The core claim is that there exists a fake controlled opposition: illiterion puppets posing as opponents on each side, but in reality both sides serve the same agenda of totalitarian control and the controlling illiterion masters. The purpose of deflating, according to this view, is to prevent the fake opposition from being bribed or blackmailed, which would otherwise keep control of the narrative and shape of public perception. The speaker contends that in these large-scale systems there is no real democratic choice and there never will be. The proposed solution is to deflate the parasitic system. The transcript then references David Icke and a claim about Donald Trump: “David Icke, Trump doubles down on support for COVID fake vaccines and boosters despite outcry from conservatives.” The speaker questions Trump supporters, stating that “He was a fraud all along as I have said since 2016 and he has been leading you to glorious failure for the masters that own him. No politician is going to get us out of this. We have to do it.” This presents the position that Trump’s stance on vaccines is used to illustrate a broader pattern of manipulation by a so-called masters’ system, implying that political leaders are not the solution and that collective action is necessary outside the conventional political framework. The transcript also includes a claim attributed to Catherine Austin Fitz: “Trump put $10 billion dollars into a program to depopulate The US.” This assertion is presented as a sourced claim, accompanied by a prompt to like and follow and a source referenced as tumia.org. The overall narrative ties these points together to argue that both mainstream politics and alleged hidden forces operate to maintain control, and that true change requires deflating the parasitic system rather than relying on political figures or conventional democratic processes.

To weaken democratic institutions, it's not essential for people to believe disinformation. Overwhelming the public sphere with disinformation, raising questions, spreading dirt, and planting conspiracy theories can be enough to erode trust. Once citizens distrust leaders, mainstream media, political institutions, each other, and the possibility of truth, the goal is achieved.

We are in a war most people don't even see. It's not just bombs or bullets. It's information, technology, and control over what you believe. Every day, powerful forces shape the news you read and the thoughts you hold. This is fifth generation warfare. And whether you know it or not, you are already on the battlefield. The choice is yours. Remain unaware or recognize the fight and take a stand.

The speaker describes a deliberate strategy to corrode public trust by raising questions, spreading dirt, and planting conspiracy theories, thereby causing citizens to doubt the credibility of leaders, mainstream media, political institutions, and even each other and the concept of truth. The aim is to overwhelm citizens with suspicion until a sense of shared reality dissolves, enabling whoever orchestrates the tactic to prevail. A country's public square with enough raw sewage. You just have to raise enough questions, spread enough dirt, plant enough conspiracy theorizing that citizens no longer know what to believe. Once they lose trust in their leaders, the mainstream media, in political institutions, in each other, in the possibility of truth. The game's won. This is presented as a win for the manipulators.

To brainwash people, wrap a dark agenda in a trendy cause to manipulate the masses. By framing good people as bad through media manipulation, real debate on societal progression is hindered. This tactic keeps us stuck in easily swayed trends, preventing meaningful discussions on moving forward.

The speakers discuss the current period as one dominated by information operations and information warfare, described as an activity of strategic importance. They define an information operation as manipulating facts and events to project a “preferente werkelijkheid” (preferred reality) to one’s own population, an opponent, and the international public. This preferred reality is created so that people think in a way favorable to those in power, not simply interpreted from available facts. General Mallore van Kappen is cited as confirming these points on national television, with journalist Biad Duk of De Telegraaf present. They emphasize that facts and events are manipulated to yield a favorable reality in the eyes of the government, such that the public is steered toward a particular understanding. The claim is that the reality is manufactured rather than existing independently for people to judge. Beyond shaping perception, the speakers assert that behavior is also being directed to ensure citizens act as desired. They note that during the COVID-19 period, “behavioral units” were established, consisting of psychologists and experts who understand how the brain responds, to influence people to behave in ways aligned with the authorities’ goals. They mention that such efforts were sometimes described as a large behavioral experiment, with the army’s LIMC (Lieutenant Colonel or a similar unit, context suggests a military body) allegedly involved in these activities. The speakers condemn the idea of the military and associated units monitoring and adjusting civilians to keep a desired narrative intact, arguing that manipulating society—facts and events—to fit a particular agenda is a grievous concern. They state that the aim is to make people think what the authorities want and to believe those ideas so their behavior can be easily controlled. Ultimately, they claim that the objective is to create a narrative that influences both thought and behavior, thereby enabling easier governance. The discussion concludes with acknowledgment that the manipulation of both information and behavior serves to ensure compliance with a preferred narrative, making the public more easily steerable.
