CONCLUSION OF PART I
Abstract
America is being programmed to doubt reality—what they say, hear, and listen to is not true. What was once self-evident is now debatable. Right and wrong blur, history is rewritten, and even basic facts are manipulated to serve an agenda. The goal is not just deception—it’s intended to make you question whether truth even exists anymore.
The media distorts narratives, political leaders redefine truth, and corporate interests reinforce deception—all designed to keep the public confused, compliant, and divided.
This essay is PART 1 of a 3-part essay on how government agencies and leaders control the people. You may not see it, but you are on the receiving end of psychological manipulation. It is long, but what it reveals is bad. The ideas were birthed in two books written by Dr. Robert Malone –
- Lies My Government Told Me: And the Better Future Coming
- Psywar: The Weaponization of Language, Culture, and Medicine
Both books explore themes of government deception, psychological warfare, and media manipulation, making them highly relevant to your discussion on gaslighting and perception control.
A. THE PLAYBOOK – HOW GASLIGHTING WORKS
Warnings, Warnings, Warnings: the Global Psyops That Have Controlled You for Years
“Where is the God of justice?” as they mocked (Malachi 2:17) in the Bible, twisting truth into deception, blurring the lines between good and evil. For decades, “they” have rewritten reality, manipulated language, and distorted morality until lies sound virtuous and truth seems oppressive. Once the victors would rewrite history, but now it is being rewritten in “real” time.
From Orwellian doublespeak to psychological operations (PsyOps) used by governments, the goal remains the same: control perception. The media bombards us with half-truths, repeated until lies feel like reality. Political leaders redefine words to erase history and rewrite morality, making it easier to manipulate the public. Corporate elites suppress dissenting voices while branding censorship as “safety measures.”
The “they” are conditioning us in schools, politics, news, social media, and entertainment. Truth is replaced with ideological narratives; those who question are labeled extremists, ostracized, or censored outright.
Historical Precedents: the Blueprint for Control
The foundation of their power isn’t force—it’s deception. The biggest PsyOps of the last six decades have followed the same pattern:
Manufacture a crisis – Create an event that justifies drastic action, using fear to manipulate public opinion.
Control the narrative – Suppress all information contradicting the official version while flooding the media with carefully crafted messaging.
Destroy dissent – Label truth-seekers as extremists, conspiracy theorists, or threats to democracy.
Expand power – Use the crisis to justify new laws, wars, or government overreach. Remember the lockdowns from Covid?
History repeats itself. You just don’t see it. It’s the same blueprint, just different actors with different lies.
B. THE MODERN MACHINERY – SHAPING PERCEPTION
Hillary Clinton’s Blackberry – She Watched. She Knew. She Lied.
On September 11, 2012, the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, was attacked. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans—Sean Smith, Glen Doherty, and Tyrone Woods—were killed. But this wasn’t an unforeseen crisis.
Months before, Stevens warned the State Department about rising security threats.
Multiple requests for more security were made and ignored.
When the attack happened, Clinton and the administration watched it unfold in real-time via drone surveillance.
Despite this, the White House and State Department falsely claimed for days that the attack was spontaneous violence caused by an obscure YouTube video. This narrative was pushed on the public even as intelligence reports confirmed it was a coordinated terrorist attack.
When pressed in a congressional hearing, Clinton infamously dismissed the outrage:
“What difference at this point does it make?”
The difference? Four Americans were dead, our government buried the truth, and the administration misled the country to protect its political narrative. To this day, the full extent of the cover-up remains buried under bureaucratic secrecy.
The Whistleblowers Who Shattered Illusions
Case 1: Julian Assange – the Man Who Exposed the Lie
Julian Assange and WikiLeaks exposed corruption at the highest levels, revealing:
War crimes had been committed by the U.S. in Iraq and Afghanistan, including the infamous “Collateral Murder” video showing an airstrike killing civilians.
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) rigged the Democratic primary against Bernie Sanders.
CIA hacking tools were used to spy on private citizens, even through personal smart devices.
All this and so much more.
Make no mistake. Asange broke the law. And he paid a heavy price – living on the “run” and being forced to live in Ecuador’s London embassy for seven years. Assange pleaded guilty in 2024 to a single espionage charge in a U.S. federal court in Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands. He was sentenced to time served, totaling approximately five years, facilitating his immediate release/ Assange returned to Australia, where he now resides with his wife, Stella, and their two sons.
But his crime was espionage. His sin, however, was exposing the truth.
Case 2: Edward Snowden: the Man Who Showed You Were Being Watched
Snowden leaked classified documents proving that the National Security Agency (NSA) was spying on millions of Americans, tracking:
- Phone calls without warrants.
- Emails and private messages through PRISM, a clandestine surveillance program.
- Online activity, including searches and social media communications.
His reward? He now lives in exile in Russia, has a revoked U.S. passport, and is labeled for life as a traitor—while the government agencies he exposed faced no punishment. Again, exposing the soft underbelly of “psyWAR” was his sin.
Snowden’s revelations confirmed that even U.S. citizens were viewed as potential threats, with mass surveillance justified under the guise of “national security.”
Case 3: The Russians Are Coming!”—How a False Narrative Spiraled Out of Control
For years, the media breathlessly assured us that Donald Trump was a Kremlin asset. The evidence? A fake dossier bought and paid for by Hillary Clinton’s campaign. The FBI knew it was garbage, yet they used it anyway—to spy on American citizens and political opponents.
The press ran with it, repeating the lie so often that it became a manufactured truth.
Elections were influenced, investigations dragged on, and millions of taxpayer dollars were burned in the process. When the whole thing collapsed? No apologies. No accountability. Just silence.
The real impact?
• A presidency crippled by a hoax.
• Trust in elections permanently damaged.
• The intelligence community emboldened to meddle in politics.
And yet, every time the establishment needs a villain, the Russian boogeyman is trotted back out. At this point, it’s about as believable as an old Cold War propaganda film—except this time, the bad guys aren’t in Moscow. They’re in Washington.
And yes, the Ghost of the
C. BREAKING THE ILLUSION – FIGHTING BACK
The List Goes on: Patterns of Manipulation
Governments, intelligence agencies, and corporations have used deception as a weapon for decades. Here’s just a glimpse of how far it has gone.
Domestic Manipulations: When America Lies to Its Own
Operation Northwoods (1962) – The Pentagon proposed staging terrorist attacks on American soil, blaming them on Cuba to justify an invasion.
COINTELPRO (1956-1971) – The FBI infiltrated civil rights groups, using surveillance, blackmail, and psychological warfare to discredit leaders. COINTELPRO was a series of covert and illegal projects conducted between 1956 and 1971 by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation aimed at surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting, and disrupting American political organizations that the FBI perceived as subversive
Weapons of Mass Destruction (2003) – The U.S. claimed Iraq had WMDs—it was a lie that justified war. U.S.-led inspections later found that Iraq had ceased active WMD production and stockpiling. Some have argued the false WMD allegations were used as a deliberate pretext for war.
International Manipulations: the Playbook Abroad
The Reichstag Fire (1933) – Fear as a weapon to justify dictatorship. The Reichstag Fire on February 27, 1933, was an arson attack on Germany’s parliament building. The Nazis blamed communists, using it to justify mass arrests, suspend civil liberties, and invoke emergency powers, allowing Hitler to consolidate power and establish a totalitarian dictatorship.
Tiananmen Square (1989) – Thousands massacred—China erased it from history. The Tiananmen Square Massacre (June 4, 1989) saw China’s Communist Party brutally crush pro-democracy protests. Troops and tanks killed thousands, silencing calls for reform. The CCP continues censorship, mass surveillance, and political repression, suppressing dissent and ensuring absolute control over speech, religion, and personal freedoms.
BREAKING FREE FROM THE ILLUSION
The gaslighting isn’t slowing down—it’s accelerating.
How Do We Fight Back?
Recognize the Playbook – Understanding their tactics weakens their hold.
Seek Independent Truth – Rely on primary sources, alternative media, and historical records.
Refuse to Be Silenced – Speak the truth boldly, even when it’s costly.
CONCLUSION: THE TIME TO WAKE UP IS NOW
This isn’t just propaganda. It’s an assault on reality.
The longer we tolerate it, the more control we surrender.
The time to wake up is now.
