... the Five Stages of Deprogramming:

1. Discredit the figure of authority: the cult leader.

2. Present contradictions (ideology vs. reality): “How can he preach love when he exploits people?” is an example.

3. The breaking point: When a subject begins to listen to the deprogrammer; when reality begins to take precedence over ideology.

4. Self-expression: When the subject begins to open up and to voice some of his own gripes against the cult.

5. Identification and transference: when the subject begins to identify with the deprogrammers, starts to think of himself as an opponent of the cult rather than a member of it.

That very loud sound we will soon hear...

“Snapping” ... has also come to denote the time period of moment during a deprogramming when ... the cultist has “the indescribable experience of [the] mind opening up, as if a light switch had been thrown.”

Step 8: The dispensing of existence.

“...the totalist environment draws a sharp line between those whose right to existence can be recognized, and those who possess no such right. In practice, this has led to an 'ends justify the means”'attitude among destructive cult leaders."

Step 7: Doctrine over person.

"As a corollary to the establishment of a “sacred science,” totalistic systems maintain that personal experience does not overrule the 'facts' as explained by the doctrine. As a result, individual critical faculties, and even perception itself, are denied."

Examples are unnecessary with this one.

Step 6: Loading the Language

"Destructive cults typically evolve an elaborate and idiosyncratic terminology that is used to answer quickly and simplistically any doubts, and terminate any troublesome questioning."

Examples: "if you follow the science," "another conspiracy theorist," "experts have concluded..."

Step 5: The “sacred science.”

"Totalist systems proclaim their dogma to be the absolute, complete, and eternal truth, which in turn elevates the dogma to a sacred level. Any information that contradicts this absolute truth is therefore false by definition, and its source is misguided at best and an enemy at worst."

Step 4: The cult of confession.

"The demand for continuous confession is related to the process of mystical manipulation. The convert is repeatedly asked to confess his sins (real and imagined), and although he may be rewarded for each confession, the demand to confess does not subside."

Step 3: The demand for purity.

In totalistic systems, the world is sharply divided into the good and pure vs. the evil and unclean. Those outside the totalistic system are unenlightened and therefore less than 'completely human.'”

Step 2: Mystical Manipulation.

“Mystical manipulation” refers to the use of planned, or engineered, spontaneity; that is, thought reformers manipulate recruits in such a way as to make their behaviors appear spontaneous and internally-generated."

Method 1: Milieu Control

"Milieu control refers to a rigid structuring of the environment in which communication is regulated and access to information is strictly controlled. "

Evident that a large component of The Plan is a mass Deprogramming Strategy, especially as the Cabal is a religious cult at root.

The Cult is especially insidious because of the sophisticated mass censorship/media narrative manipulation driven by government/corporate collusion.. "Dogma" comes from all sides.

"Destructive cults typically evolve an elaborate and idiosyncratic terminology that is used to answer quickly and simplistically any doubts, and terminate any troublesome questioning."

And now for something completely different.

Bet you didn't know this about the daughter of American writer Nathaniel Hawthorne (The Scarlet Letter, Young Goodman Brown, et al)...

At that place in the long movie when you hear something, poke your head into the living room, and then come in and sit down.

Made him the perfect VP for Obama.

Made him the perfect VP for Obama.

Missed the headline about him severing her head.

Death comes to the Poster Child of "It's ALL Fake, Phony, and False."

Following the news...

You know how everyone missed it when the Lord joined us as an infant in Bethlehem and then as a sacrificial victim of the Jews and Romans?

Have we all missed it, that AntiChrist may have already arrived but not in the form we expected?

Think about it.

In case you think they have backed off.

"The COVID-19 vaccine is strongly encouraged, but not required, for all students, faculty, staff, and researchers."

Hmmm...

Larger Perspective

“We should always endeavor to wonder at the permanent thing, not at the mere exception. We should be startled by the sun, and not by the eclipse. We should wonder less at the earthquake, and wonder more at the earth.”

― G.K. Chesterton

Four words to keep in mind...

"In the history of cultural astronomy, virtually every ancient civilization viewed the sudden chewing-up of the Sun as a bad omen."

Another classic.

Remember how hard we laughed.

Feeling a bit like Noah watching the clouds form.

"Power is in inflicting pain and humiliation. Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing." Orwell, 1984

Notre Dame pushing idea that we should quarter "immigrants."

Ugh.

The good guys do not telegraph moves.

The Evil Empire always telegraphs moves.

So, they mocked Easter.

But God will not be mocked.

"We fear men so much, because we fear God so little. One fear cures another. When man's terror scares you, turn your thoughts to the wrath of God."

--Gilbert K. Chesterton
