Quite an epic tome dissecting the disinformation propaganda campaign reinforcing the childhood indoctrinations we in the West have suffered, for which I am grateful. To reduce my propensity to lose my train of thought, I will proceed to respond bit by bit as I read through it all.

"...Matt Hancock’s admission that he wanted to scare the pants off everyone..."

That is literally terrorism. Matt Hancock is a terrorist by definition. We can see that governments across the West have been deliberately creating terror in the public, primarily through their official mouthpieces in the Mockingbird Media, or the enemedia, as I prefer to more accurately describe them, from the outset of the terrifying video that came out of China in Jan. 2020. In those videos we are told masses of people are dying (in a place far away where we cannot go to see for ourselves, do not know people that can verify that, and videos are purported to be from private persons 'leaked' out of China, which is notorious for exercising near total control of media) with specific symptoms that include bleeding out of orifices such as ears, mouth, and nose, dropping dead in mid-stride, whole body tremors and convulsions as victims approach death, and the like - all of which we have observed for years are NOT symptoms of Covid19 at all, but are adverse effects of the mRNA jabs.

This is obvious in retrospect to be Chinese government propaganda, likely the result of deliberate 'vaccination' with mRNA of segments of their population, and involving numbers just pulled out of thin air. That latter is supported by the later mathematically perfect curve of infections and deaths China reported - up until increase in cases stopped completely, creating an impossible flat line in charts of Chinese cases. China was clearly fabricating case numbers, and this suggests it simply played the part of the country that was the source of the plandemic on TV, as part of the global NWO conquest being conducted using terrorism propaganda.

"Trust the Science"

That is anti-science. The essence of science is doubt. That's why there is peer review, to scour papers for bias and errors prior to publication. That's why data is shared openly, methods are meticulously detailed, and papers are intended to enable skeptics to duplicate the experiments themselves, and verify the results claimed in research papers.

Trust, democratic consensus, and dogma have absolutely no place in science, and outside of fraud and disinformation, have never contributed to scientific research. Every intrusion of faith and dogma denigrates and degrades scientific research, and the hardest sciences are replete with challenges to the most fundamental theories generally accepted.

Cosmology well demonstrates this fact, with hypotheses regarding the beginning of the universe ranging from intersecting membranous dimensions, to the Big Bang, to steady states and every imaginable alternative being seriously suggested by researchers. There is no consensus. Consensus is the opposite of science.

"...mass school lockdowns or mass pharmacological interventions for children, for wearing masks in public areas, for discharging patients from hospitals into care homes..."

All of these examples you point out have no basis in experimental research whatsoever. They are calls to accept the dogma of scientism, and the opposite of the scientific method and actual science.

"...hypocritical government, partying away while the nation was in lockdown..."

Perfectly exemplifies that this has been false terrorist propaganda, rather than factual scientific advice and rational policies based on evidence. They just made it up, to convince us to submit to what they wanted us to do, for their benefit.

"...the Twitter leadership were in disagreement and highlights the still-unanswered question of whether Twitter banned Berenson because it feared government or corporate retribution for allowing him to continue to publish on its site."

It is notable that social media corporations and government have acted as subsidiaries of an umbrella corporation. Stock corporations are owned by investors, and government agencies captured by massive graft, relegating them both to the status of subsidiaries of the investors in BlackRock and WEF lobbyists that own companies and corrupt governments.
From that perspective it isn't the agency itself that is likely to suffer acting outside the interests of the hierarchy, but the corporate executives or agents whose careers would suffer stepping out of line.

"...military tactics have been employed against the general population when it came to the “war” on Covid."

Humanity cannot wage war on a disease. We can only wage war against other people. The governments and corporations of the world have waged war on the civilian populations. That is the truth of the plandemic, and requires dispelling lifelong indoctrination and propaganda to grasp.

Sadly, most of us readily dismiss any thought we might be victims of government indoctrination, preferring to avoid the harrowing process of detailed examination of our beliefs in order to discard falsities and stand solely on factual reality. Because of many ways in which our fundamental beliefs affect our familial and interpersonal relationships, changing them can have profound and highly emotionally charged impacts on our lives. I know doing so has mine.

"How dare they. Don’t they realise they were putting millions of people’s lives in danger!"

I realize that the above comment is sarcastically applied to critics of plandemic policies. However, it is well applied to government agencies and corporations pushing political indoctrination and false propaganda intent on subjugating free and sovereign people to increasingly despotic technocratic totalitarianism. In that context however, it is naive.

Terrorists aren't unaware they are harming and killing people, including innocent children. That is their deliberate intended purpose, in order to achieve political ends.

It may be difficult for us to imagine how terrorists can believe they are doing the right thing, that they can be unaware they are doing evil. This is why we have been indoctrinated from birth and are constantly inundated with propaganda that asserts false narratives to prevent us from exercising reason and acting on it. Occasionally low level terrorists have an epiphany and realize they have been misled. They they suffer the emotional impact of how their false beliefs have impacted their victims, and, as all PTSD sufferers know all too well, they experience regret, like this guy:

"I am concerned that the government was so interested in individual Twitter posts that they devoted an entire unit to monitoring what scared and otherwise powerless people had to say, and I regret that I was a part of it."

"Although the pandemic triggered the most recent establishment of the CDU, its work has since expanded dramatically to cover what the Department of Digital, Culture Media and Sport calls “periods of acute disinformation risk”. In addition to working on COVID-19, the CDU has worked on the May 2021 United Kingdom Local Elections, COP-26, the NI Assembly Elections, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine."

It's obvious that the plandemic is not the end of this process of indoctrination, propaganda, and censorship. It's only the beginning. It's not difficult to understand that if we are convinced of false information and told lies about the world, we can be convinced to accept policies that are insuperable when considered by factual evidence. It is obvious to me that is the intention of this enemedia control, and it is not merely an inconvenience, but an existential threat to my children. Even a cursory consideration of the history of humanity shows constant strife and horrific war, and it isn't hard to grasp that being able to trick populations into believing lies will enable evil overlords to profit from catastrophic harm.

Censorship is an existential threat that prevents us from hearing warnings or giving warnings to people at risk of harm. False propaganda from fact checkers and the enemedia complete the attack on our understanding censorship begins, and turns us into weapons against good people we'd help if we knew the truth. Free people cannot tolerate being lied to by their government, censored, and weaponized like that, or our children will be the victims of violent tyranny. When we defend our words, we defend the truth, and our beloved posterity.

Most people are more powerfully impacted by cognitive dissonance the more their actions based on false beliefs contradict their fundamental values and the sound principles they do stand on. Eventually we are availed that 'come to Jesus' moment, when we are able to perceive we have acted against our values, and experience regret. Some people call this harm, and it is certainly not pleasant, driving them to drink, drugs, and even suicide.

However, only by facing our mistakes can we prevent making them in the future. This is the philosophy behind the concept of failing up. Try, try again. Never say die. The sooner and more fully we grasp our errors, the more and more effectively we can act without committing those errors. Pushing away such realizations - our common, innate reaction to such subconscious hints - makes everything worse. I didn't undertake a real inventory of my fundamental beliefs until I was almost 50 and had a lifetime of terrible mistakes to regret saved up. Because of that experience, I strongly recommend we alert on such signals from our subconscious like bird dogs on pheasants, and start as young as possible, before we have decades of sins to lament not being able to undo.

Once you get through it, you are ready to begin living based on fundamental beliefs you have reason to believe are factual. In the event you discover you have been wrong, despite the effort you have gone to in order to be right, you will find it much easier to change your mind and stop being wrong. After the initial battle, you can wage war the rest of your life against acting on false beliefs, against committing evil.

If you are like most people, and want to be good, you will never, ever regret not doing evil.

I ask you to forgive my excessive verbosity and filling your blog with a wall of text. I find your OP inspirational, and that caused me to spill out all the realizations it sparked me to have. I hope some of it might be useful to folks, so I have left it here, instead of doing the easy thing and and deleting most of it.

I hope we can all find the peace of mind that comes from doing good things for good people for good reasons and achieving good ends, and I am inspired by your honest post to add my comment recommending we tackle first what we alone control in ourselves. Only when we have started there can we hope to do works based on reason and facts, and achieve the good we intend.

Thanks!
