To begin: Yours Truly is grateful for the opportunity to be an author here at The Q Tree. Thank you, Wolf Moon.
One is not a trained psychologist: she has, however, taken enough courses in psychology in the process of earning her BFA and MA degrees to submit the following opinion piece regarding the entire COVID-19 situation.
Those who frequent this board are aware that the modRNA and the spike protein of the COVID-19 “vaccines”, facilitated by the lipid nanoparticles in said “vaccines”, migrate to all areas of the “vaccinated” recipient’s body, including to the brain. The mechanisms of these “vaccines” negatively effect the brain, both in physical ways (for example, suffering a stroke after “vaccination”), and in emotional/psychological ways (for example, sudden onset of psychosis after “vaccination.”)
Today, Yours Truly will posit that there is yet another way in which the entire situation of COVID-19 and its “vaccines” have been used, and continue to be used, in this case, to influence behavior: by the utilization of gaslighting. According to Psychology Today, “Gaslighting is an insidious form of manipulation and psychological control. Victims of gaslighting are deliberately and systematically fed false information…Over time, a gaslighter’s manipulations can grow more complex and potent, making it increasingly difficult for the victim to see the truth.” Gaslighting is about a person or entity gaining as-near-total control as possible over another person, to the point where the victim can begin to wonder if he/she is losing their mind; and/or, begins to give up and does what they are told. The process requires, first, that the victim has trust in the gaslighter; from there, various techniques are employed by the gaslighter, including constant lying and then denying the lies, to gradually undermine the self-confidence of the victim until control is achieved. The term comes from the 1938 play, “Gas Light“, which became the 1944 film, “Gaslight.” In the film, Charles Boyer plays the gaslighter, and Ingrid Bergman plays his wife who he is attempting to drive insane in order to steal her inheritance.
How does gaslighting apply to the era of COVID-19? It is now clear that the CDC, the FDA, the NIH, the AMA, Big Pharma, and the mainstream media in the United States—entities that formerly were held to be trustworthy by the American public—have lied constantly regarding numerous aspects of the COVID-19 virus and of the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”: about the “benefits” of masking and social distancing; about the “safety and efficacy” of the “vaccines”; about the actual data from Pfizer-BioNTech and from Moderna regarding the real dangers of their COVID-19 “vaccines”; about the “safety” of using remdesivir (Veklury) to treat a COVID-19 infection; and about many other aspects. In addition, the government-driven “mandates” regarding the closing of schools and businesses; the “15 days to slow the spread”; the “requirements” for “vaccination” against COVID-19 in order to work or to go to school; the “regulations” by hospitals, health clinics, sports teams, and other entities, that employees, healthcare professionals, and athletes be “vaccinated” in order to keep their jobs or to play—all of these are well-orchestrated psychological techniques used to, first, gain “trust” (“follow the science”); then, to manipulate and coerce people into getting “vaccinated”; then, to minimize and/or to lie outright about the serious and deadly adverse effects of the COVID-19 “vaccines”, stating that these are “rare instances” and that “the benefits outweigh the risks”; then, to accuse anyone who questions what is going on as “spreading misinformation.” The result, unfortunately, is that, apparently, many people have given up using their own judgement and simply do what they are told (getting the latest COVID-19 “Bivalent Vaccine” injections, going back to masking, and so forth)—in other words, they are under the control of the gaslighting entities, who can then push them even farther.
Gaslighting loses its power when the victim realizes what is really going on, says, “No!”, then follows through on that. Sometimes, the following through is the victim calling the police; sometimes, the victim leaves the situation and doesn’t go back. The victim may need help to regain his/her self-confidence and to trust in their ability to make their own decisions.
It is the opinion of Yours Truly that in regard to gaslighting in the era of COVID-19, the time has come for people to realize what is really going on, to say, “No!”, then follow through on that.
