Weltanschauungskrieg (War of Worldviews) |

The concept of psychological warfare emerged in Nazi Germany and was later adopted by the USA.
The word is a translation of the German “Weltanschauungskrieg” (war of worldviews). Wall Street Lawyer William Donovan “Wild Bill” was one of the first to use it in the context of public relations in the USA. President Franklin Roosevelt appointed him as Director of the new U.S. intelligence agency, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS, predecessor of the CIA) who saw “psychological warfare” as an important stratagem for “engineering of consent” in the public mind (see Chomskys & Hermans “propaganda model”).
William Joseph Donovan (January 1, 1883 – February 8, 1959)
Donovan viewed an understanding of Nazi psychological tactics as a vital source of ideas for “Americanized’’ versions of many of the same stratagems. Use of the new term quickly became widespread throughout the U.S. intelligence community. . . Donovan was among the first in the US to articulate a more or less unified theory of psychological warfare. . . As he saw it, the “engineering of consent” techniques used in peacetime propaganda campaigns could be quite effectively adapted to open warfare. Pro-Allied propaganda was essential to reorganizing the U.S. economy for war and for creating public support at home for intervention in Europe, Donovan believed. Fifth-column movements could be employed abroad as sources of intelligence and as morale-builders for populations under Axis control. He saw “special operations” — meaning sabotage, subversion, commando raids, and guerrilla movements — as useful for softening up targets prior to conventional military assaults.

How Ikea tricks you into buying more stuff |

In shopping mall design, the Gruen transfer (also known as the Gruen effect) is the moment when consumers enter a shopping mall or store and, surrounded by an intentionally confusing layout, lose track of their original intentions, making them more susceptible to making impulse buys. It is named after Austrian architect Victor Gruen, who disapproved of such manipulative techniques.[1][2][3]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gruen_tran...lse%20buys.
The home furnishings giant enlists a maze-like layout, cheap food, and crafty psychology to get you to fill up your cart.
Ikea has mastered the use of a psychological principle called the Gruen effect — when the layout of a store is so bewildering that it makes you forget the original reason you came there, leading to impulse buys.
Jeff Hardwick, who wrote a book on the Gruen effect, told The Hustle that the principle is at play all around you at Ikea.
“You get lost in that maze, and then you are surrounded by nothing but ever-changing fantasies of what your life could be like,” he said. “It’s like you can walk into a magazine advertisement and pick up the dishes, sit on the couch, try out the desk chair. It’s very tactile and participatory.”
Lost in this stupor, you might find it easy to fall victim to some of Ikea’s other tricks:
Strategically placed mirrors: When you catch a glimpse of yourself in an Ikea room, you’re primed to believe you belong in it.
Contextual positioning: Rooms are set up exactly as they would be in a natural setting. Familiarity encourages purchasing.
“Bulla bulla” (dump bins): Ikea places overstuffed crates of dirt-cheap products (plush toys, slippers, pillows) along the route to reinforce the idea that its products are a good deal.
If you look closely, something else you’ll likely see at play in Ikea is decoy pricing: when a retailer throws a less appealing option into the mix to make other products seem like a better deal.
Let’s say there are 2 cabinets for sale: a $40 budget unit, and an $80 unit with more premium materials. Ikea might create a 3rd unit — one that offers neither the low price of the budget unit, nor the premium materials of the pricier unit — to make the others look better.
Studies have shown that the decoy effect can increase retail sales by as much as 14%.

Russia Ukraine Information Warfare You Are Witnessing the Grand Illusion |

First, a word from our sponsors:
Welcome to the Grand illusion
Come on in and see what's happening
Pay the price, get your tickets for the show
The stage is set, the band starts playing
Suddenly your heart is pounding
Wishing secretly you were a star
But don't be fooled by the radio
The TV or the magazines
They show you photographs of how your life should be
But they're just someone else's fantasy
America spells competition, join us in our blind ambition
Get yourself a brand new motor car
Someday soon we'll stop to ponder what on earth's this spell we're under
We made the grade and still we wonder who the hell we are
Darkness to light seems it is now upon and the last sentence in the rather famous Styx song, "The Grand Illusion" may be coming to pass.
The Russian Ukraine shit storm is one big culmination involving massive corruption dating back to the mid-1990s and William Jefferson Clinton. This information can be found researched in depth by Glenn Beck via his documentary series on the Democratic Octopuss and Global Corruption exposes.
For purposes of perhaps intrigue and without going into detail, I shall post some very interesting factual images containing maps of Ukraine. The first is a complete map of all the US bio and pharmaceutical plants spread throughout Ukraine before the bombing of various throughout the country.
These plants had been constructed in Ukraine by the NeoNazi extremist elements since 2014 backed by Barack Hussian Obama, Hilary Clinton, Adam Schiff, and that piece of shit in the White House, Joe Bumbling Biden. They manufacture new medications being developed by big Pharma companies and used on the Ukrainian people since 2014. In addition, they are also testing new bioweapons and viruses some of which are on the border of Russia.
Verifiable links shall be provided to all this in the coming posts for those interested in learning the truth. For now, sourcing out the Glenn Beck material mentioned above shall suffice.
Do you believe in coincidences? How about these?
US and Big Pharma!

As Russia Seizes Chernobyl Site, Ukraine's 15 Nuclear Reactors Pose Unprecedented Risk in War Zone
Russian military activity near Ukraine's nuclear sites have raised alarm, as triggering any of the volatile reactors around the country could cause nuclear catastrophe for the entire European continent. Russian troops have seized the site of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster and have reportedly taken staff hostage, raising fear that any disturbance could rerelease deadly radiation that has been sealed off for years. As Ukraine relies on nuclear power for 50% of its electricity, shutting down active nuclear reactors would alleviate the potential for nuclear catastrophe at the cost of leaving many deprived of electricity during the war. "This is the first time that we've ever seen a war zone in a location where there are operating nuclear power plants," says Linda Pentz Gunter, international specialist at Beyond Nuclear. "Any manner of situations could lead to a catastrophic meltdown."

Saddam found a stargate digging in the desert. He claimed himself to be the reincarnated Nebuchadnezzar. Ever wonder why his mind thought he was somebody else. It was the stargate he found. The dumbass turned it on and something came through and possessed old Saddam. He didn't push the button to go through to anywhere. He actually just rang the door bell. They answered the door....
Â
He found the stargate way out in boonie land buried under strange ruins with an unknown language carved into the rocks. Linear A type shit. Managed to keep it secret for a bit, but, he realized he needed help from the bigger powers to figure out how it worked. Don't ask why the monster that came through the stargate didn't know how to work it. I guess he got possessed by a stupid one.
Â
Saddam was selfish about it all. Probably from the inner bullshit going on inside is spirit. The bigger powers wanted to experiment on it more, but Saddam would have none of it. He told Bush to fuck off and come on and get it. Bush obliged him! Now, the ones who control the US have got it and they pressed the wrong button again.
Â
I wonder who came through this time?
