During the CCP virus pandemic, behavioural science was inappropriately exploited to scare the people into following the laws, according to a former senior member of the government’s infamous “Nudge Unit.”

Simon Ruda, a co-founder of the Behavioural Insights Team, the UK government’s initial nudge unit before its privatization and global expansion, questioned whether behavior science had been used to sanction “state propaganda” inadvertently during the crisis.

Two BI executives are now members of the government’s Scientific Pandemic Insights Group on Behaviours, a sub-group of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies with 48 members. The other members of the SPI-B are largely university academics and scientists from other government agencies.

A SAGE document published in the early days of the pandemic, which presented options the government could use to increase compliance to social distancing measures, included advice such as increasing the “perceived level of personal threat” with “hard-hitting emotional messaging”; using media to increase the “sense of personal threat” and “sense of responsibility to others”; using social approval for desired behaviors; and considering the use of social disapproval for failure to comply.

Ruda wrote in Unherd on Thursday that six years ago he thought it was “nuts” to think of behavioural science as “tactics befitting a distasteful authoritarian regime,” but after seeing how governments around the world responded to the pandemic, he now understands “the vulnerabilities of well-intentioned, democratic regimes, and the potential for behavioural science to be misused.”

Still a proponent of using behavioral science in public policy, such as finding ways to help parents engage with their children’s homework and measuring improved education and parental engagement, Ruda cautioned against using the tool in “less appropriate” and “more propagandistic” ways, such as “invoking different emotions to convince people to stay at home during the pandemic.”

Although the strategy may assist produce “immediately measurable” outcomes, Ruda believes it may also have unexpected long-term consequences, such as “worse inter-societal trust in institutions.”

He stated that some of the ramifications had already manifested.

“In my mind, the most egregious and far-reaching mistake made in responding to the pandemic has been the level of fear willingly conveyed on the public,”

“Initially encouraged to boost public compliance, that fear seems to have subsequently driven policy decisions in a worrying feedback loop.”

Ruda believes government communicators and news broadcasters are to blame, but he also wants behavior scientists to consider where to draw the line “between the choice-maximising nudges of libertarian paternalism, and the creeping acceptance among policymakers that the state should use its heft to influence our lives without the accountability of legislative and parliamentary scrutiny.”

“Nudging made subtle state influence palatable, but mixed with a state of emergency, have we inadvertently sanctioned state propaganda?” The behavioral scientist was perplexed.

Ruda further chastised governments for “placing all value on data,” claiming that this “risks de-prioritising reflection, reason, and debate—and obscuring the limitations of that data as a depiction of reality.”

He claims that while measures like CCP virus infections are the easiest to track right now, they aren’t necessarily the most essential in the long run, and that “the trade-offs many governments are making in their responses to the pandemic” don’t appear to be “grounded in utilitarian rationality.”

“it is the proponents of evidence and empiricism, our best and most educated elites, who are now often the least willing to hear information that challenges their worldview or runs contrary to their identity.” Ruda suggested, noting that The narrow fixation on data has obscured people’s objectivity.

Ruda advised institutions that use behavioural science to “look beyond the immediate policy objective,” ensure that they “understand how best to use it,” and have “multidisciplinary teams, a strong culture of intellectual humility, and designed-in cognitive diversity to tackle problems, especially in times of uncertainty.”

According to a government spokeswoman, “Since the start of the pandemic we have followed the advice of our world-leading scientists and medical experts, taking the right measures at the right time to defeat coronavirus.”

“As a responsible government, we have informed the public through every means possible as to the severity of COVID-19, providing clear information and guidance about the behaviours they should take to protect themselves, their families, and others, including most recently encouraging everyone eligible to get boosted.”

Whether or not the propagandistic persuasion was inadvertent or not, is not the question. The question is, why are we pointing this out but not recognizing the fact that they’ve used that propaganda to divide society in a way that leads people to believe that 100% of the measures these authoritarians take to fight COVID are warranted. Some people can smell crap from a mile a way, and it’s evident that people of power have an innate ability to pour it out of their mouthes. Klaus Schwab’s globalist technocratic agenda for the future is being led by people of power in secret societies who pass down their itineraries to those who have ties. The rest of society follows directly behind because the astute academics validate the propaganda. If you’re not aware of the occult influence on the world and America in particular, you’ve got some research to do.

It looks like a communist administration because it is one; Why is society paralyzed? Find your courage in the word, Matthew 5:44 says: “But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” Satan is building his own army just like God. In Matthew chapter 10, Jesus tells his apostles they have been given power over unclean spirits, and sends them out to spread the word. We hold power over unclean spirits and our prayer can move mountains. Stay inquisitive in the word of God, and the world around you.

Witchcraft is actively promoted in this post Christian, neo-pagan society. The enemy has a way of presenting its studies as mysterious and lost information that MUST be uncovered. Especially to the youth without any religious preference, because it’s alluring to them. Little do they know, the gospel gives us power over their worldly manipulation.

Burning sage to cleanse the air of evil spirits and repeating “affirmations” are a commonplace among the youth. It’s almost comical how much of youth run to the most edgy thing in sight just to claim their individuality. We all understand what it’s like to not know who you are at a young age. When you identify with a group, you then have been given an identity. So your perspective of the world around you is limited to the scope by which your “group” sees the world. They wont take the story of Jesus seriously without the strife and adversity that their “practices” will soon cause.

The problem is, America carried so much weight on its back protecting its children from the idea of adversity that we now find ourselves trying to eliminate it entirely. If you don’t want adversity, you might want to take your life into your own hands. For whatever reason, they’re crying to the government assuming that they aren’t predatory elitists that want to rob them of their freedom. This is what happens when ignorance meets evil. Parents have done a horrible job at raising their youth.

Now, jewish mysticism has become intertwined in everyday witchcraft. Zo Jacobi runs “Jewitches”, a popular blog and podcast that deep dives into ancient Jewish myths and folkloric practices. Unlike the sage burning witches we’re used to, Jewish mysticism is much more involved with crystals and amulets of protection. Likewise, ancient Jews believed that the mezuzah protected them from messengers of evil — a function parallel to that of an amulet, or good-luck charm.

“The mezuzah is absolutely an amulet,” said Rebekah Erev, a Jewish feminist artist, activist and kohenet (Hebrew priestexx, a gender-neutral term for “priest” or “priestess”) who uses the pronouns they/them and teaches online courses on Jewish magic. “I consider it to be a reminder of the presence of spirit, of goddess, of shechinah [the dwelling or settling of the divine presence of God]. Much of magic is about reminding ourselves that we’re all connected and that everything is alive and animate.” 

The oppressive history of jewish mysticism, is often papered over or dismissed as “myths” and “superstitions.” “Saying ‘superstition’ is a way that we downplay our magic,” Kaminsky said. “We protect ourselves because, historically, a huge part of our oppression has been because we’re magical.” Most often, when looking into the mystic practices we run into the Kabbalah, or the Tree Of Life. “Kabbalah looks at Judaism through a cosmic, mystical lens that clicked for me a lot more than looking at a story from the Torah,” Kaminsky said. “As I read more Kabbalah, I started feeling more connected to my Judaism.”

Genesis 3:22 And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” So man, has the knowledge of good and evil, and shall not eat of the tree of life. Interesting, considering the Kabbalah is the “tree of life”. Jesus says “…To him that overcometh will I GIVE to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God” (Revelations 2:7). I claim the blood of Christ and I have not yet earned my eternity. I will receive it when God deems it so. Stay inquisitive in the word of God, and the world around you.
