COVID and the Manipulation of Your Mind – Part 3

COVID and the Manipulation of Your Mind – Part 3

Nine-Step Process to Manipulate Minds

This is the third entry in our four-part series based on the program COVID and the Manipulation of Your Mind, which I presented on July 15, 2022, at the United Healthcare Summit. In our first installment, we examined the differences between a healthy and unhealthy mind. In part two, we examined the differences between healthy and unhealthy decision-making and factors that interfere with healthy decision-making. Here in part three, I will list the nine-step process being used to manipulate minds and get people to make decisions they would not otherwise make; I will then unpack the first two steps, providing evidence that demonstrates how each step was used during the COVID lockdowns. We will complete the final seven steps in the last installment of this series.

The nine steps are:

  1. Create or identify some threat. The more nebulous the better.
  2. Purposely misinform (lie) to exaggerate the danger in order to increase the sense of fear.
  3. Present conflicting messaging to increase uncertainty in order to undermine the ability of people to resolve the threat on their own.
  4. Provide a voice of authority to direct toward “safety.”
  5. Present the sense of group acceptance.
  6. Prescribe specific actions that may or may not reduce the threat.
  7. Silence dissent.
  8. Add new threats to increase fear.
  9. Repeat steps 2–8.

The Evidence:

Step 1. Create or identify some threat. The more nebulous the better.

The purpose of identifying a threat is to incite fear. As fear increases, the ability to reason and discern decreases—fear impairs thinking! And a nebulous threat—one you cannot see, smell, touch, hear, or identify with the senses God has given you—means you can never be certain you are safe from the threat, which does more than incite fear and impair thinking; it also makes you eager to listen to someone else to tell you where the threat is and how to be safe from it.

Did SARS-CoV2 (SARS2) come from a wet market or from a virology lab in Wuhan, China? The evidence is overwhelming on this question, and I have my conclusion, but for the purpose of manipulating minds, it doesn’t matter! It is a nebulous threat that incites fear.

 

SARS2 Is a Tool
The Intention Is Fear
The Goal Is Power and Control!

 

Step 2. Purposely misinform (lie) to exaggerate the danger in order to increase the sense of fear.

During SARS-CoV2, many lies were told that led the public astray. When I say “lie,” I mean it was known to be false from the beginning. I am not speaking about presenting a conclusion based on current data and then sometime later new data emerges and the conclusion changes. That is not a lie; that is normal progression of unfolding truth. No, I am speaking of knowing the facts say one thing but purposely presenting them in a false light in order to increase fear.

Here are some of the lies:

Lie 1: The virus is virulent, killing up to 3.4% of the general population who contract the infection. [1] [2] It was known from the original Wuhan outbreak that SARS-CoV2 was no more lethal than seasonal influenza (the common flu), where every year 0.1–0.3% of the population dies from the flu virus. COVID-19 was no different. The 3.4% number came not from the percent of people who died in the community at large, but from those who were so sick they had to be hospitalized. It was known from the original outbreak that the 3.4% number did not represent the threat to the community at large, but government officials purposely used the inflated numbers from only the sickest people, projecting that out over the population in order to falsely claim the disease is ten times more lethal than the flu. It worked: The world went into a cycle of fear, and billions stopped thinking.

Lie 2: COVID is highly life-threatening to children. [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] No. While SARS-CoV2 has the same lethality as seasonal flu to the population at large, it is much less dangerous to children than the seasonal flu. In other words, more children will die from seasonal flu than from SARS-CoV2. This was known from the first cases, and it has been confirmed throughout the world—yet they lied.

Lie 3: Community mask wearing can stop the spread. [8] [9] [10] [11] Again, no! It has been documented in every study of viruses before COVID and since COVID that mask wearing has no impact on reducing spread of viral diseases. This was known, yet they lied.

Lie 4: Six feet of separation can stop the spread. This was made up from nothing—no evidence, no studies, no documentation—just another rule to manipulate people.

Lie 5: The experimental mRNA injections are “vaccines” that will prevent infection, provide herd immunity, and stop the spread of the virus. [12] [13] This is a lie told in multiple ways. The first lie is by calling the injections “vaccines.” Words have meaning, and in our society prior to COVID, the word vaccine meant an “agent used to give immunity against various diseases without producing symptoms.” [14] And vaccination meant an “injection of a vaccine in order to produce immunity against a disease.” [15] But from the beginning, they knew this injection would not prevent infection, would not prevent spread, and would not prevent reinfection, yet they called it a vaccine anyway. But they didn’t stop with misnaming; they further lied when they repeated over and over again that we can be safe if we get the injection, we can achieve herd immunity if we get the injection, and we can stop the spread if we get the injection. But the entire time they knew all of this was false. At best, one could argue these were designed to be “injectable therapeutics,” something that might reduce severity of illness, but this is not how they were marketed to the populace.

Lie 6: The pandemic is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. No. In fact, the pandemic is a pandemic of the “vaccinated.” The safest people in society from spreading COVID are the unvaccinated; the most likely to spread are the “vaccinated.” Why? Because the “vaccinated” develop IgG and IgM antibodies to the spike protein and these antibodies circulate in their blood, but they don’t have any IgA antibodies on the mucous membranes of their sinuses and throat, the places where the virus infects and initially reproduces. When the virus crosses into the body, the IgG and IgM antibodies very well may reduce the severity of illness, so people don’t know they are sick, they don’t stay home—they go out and spread it. Whereas the unvaccinated who have recovered from COVID have IgG and IgM in their circulation but also IgA on their mucous membranes, so when they get re-exposed, their antibodies kill it quickly and they don’t spread it to others. And the unvaccinated who haven’t had it, when they get it, they actually get symptoms and do like humans have done throughout all human history when they are sick: They call grandma and say, “Grandma, I’ve got a fever and feel awful. I’m sick. I don’t want to expose you, so I am going to stay home until I feel better.” And the evidence is available for all to see: President Biden has been vaccinated and boosted multiple times, yet despite this has contracted COVID twice now. The pandemic has been spread by the “vaccinated.” And now the data is emerging that documents that the more boosters one has, the weaker the immune system and the more vulnerable to COVID one becomes. [16]

Lie 7: The “vaccines” are safe. Stop and think. This is a new experimental technology, never before used on the human population; thus, there is absolutely zero evidence of any kind that these are safe. The most accurate thing they could have said was, “We don’t know whether they will prove safe, and we don’t know if any harm will come from them over the long term. We just don’t have the data.” So, this one didn’t even require evidence to realize it was a lie when it was first told. What about now? Is there evidence now that these injections do, in fact, cause harm? Absolutely, but I will not take the time to document that here because it isn’t necessary to the point of the article. They lied about the safety from the beginning.

Lie 8: The PCR test is accurate in diagnosing COVID infections. [17] The PCR test, if done properly, can confirm the presence of bits of genetic material on the sample tested, with a 95% accuracy. If one samples an asymptomatic and uninfected population, 5% will still come back with a positive test. Did we do this? Did we set up testing centers to test people who might have been “exposed” yet they themselves had no symptoms? And the result? Millions of false positive tests. And what did that do? Gave the impression of widespread disease, which increased fear. No, we don’t diagnose disease with a positive PCR test; we diagnose it the way we have always done, via examination of a patient and confirming symptoms of sickness.

Lie 9: The number of COVID deaths reported by the government is accurate. [18] [19] Another lie. According to the CDC’s own reporting, 96% of those who are listed as having died from COVID had, on average, four other causes of death. Only 4% of those listed by the CDC as having died from COVID died exclusively from COVID, which means the numbers are in line with the lethality from a seasonal flu, just as the original Wuhan data documented. But the CDC changed its reporting rules, and the government financially incentivized healthcare systems to list COVID. They allowed COVID to be listed even if PCR testing was negative if the doctor “suspected” it might have been COVID. This lie was told to make it appear that COVID is far more dangerous than it really is.

Lie 10: Lockdowns are effective at stopping spread and reducing deaths. In fact, the lockdowns were the cause of increased deaths that will be cascading down through multiple generations. It is truly incalculable the pain, suffering, and deaths that the mandates have caused. Here is a summary, with references, of the increased mortality because of the government lockdowns and mandates:

  • Increased cancer deaths due to over 10 million missed cancer screenings and treatments. [20] [21]
  • Increased deaths from heart attacks and strokes. [22]
  • Increased deaths from teen suicides. [23]
  • Increased overdose deaths. [24]
  • Increased all causes of death from social isolation due to worsening physical and mental health, increased stress and inflammation, and impairments in viral fighting immunity. [25] [26] [27]
  • Increased domestic and child abuse, which causes epigenetic changes, increasing downstream rates of mental-health problems, addictions, suicides, obesity, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, heart attacks, strokes, and early deaths—changes that cascade down three to four generations. [28] [29] [30]
  • Globally 100 million driven into poverty, which also causes negative epigenetic changes, increasing rates of mental health problems, addictions, suicides, obesity, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, heart attacks, strokes, and early deaths. These changes cascade down three to four generations. [31]

Lie 11: Healthcare organizations can provide safer care if they mandate their employees get the COVID “vaccine” and fire those who do not. As discussed above, it is the unvaccinated recovered who are the safest and least likely to contract and spread COVID to others, while the “vaccinated” are the most likely to be asymptomatic carriers and spreaders. [32] [33] [34]

Lie 12: The military is better able to carry out its mission by mandating COVID “vaccines” and discharging all who refuse. While it is true that in active combat environments, when a real threat of a highly lethal biological weapon being deployed exists, that the troops within that combat environment can be mandated to receive an experimental agent designed to immunize the soldiers from the potential threat (think anthrax during the Iraq war), COVID and the COVID “vaccine” did not meet this standard. U.S. military personnel were not in any active war zone. SARS-CoV2 is not a highly lethal agent; in fact, the young military troops have less threat from it than seasonal influenza. The course of infection in the deployable military population is mild and self-limiting with very little mortality. Moreover, the “vaccines” have no proven benefit and add significant risk to young healthy males (e.g., myocarditis). And discharging special operators and pilots and other specialized personnel does not retain the fighting force but weakens it.

Lie 13: Children will have better health via masks mandates, school closures, and the COVID “vaccine.The data is so overwhelming that children have been harmed by the various mandates that I won’t even provide any documentation because even the censors can’t censor all the evidence of the harm to children from the draconian and unscientific mandates to an illness that has a statistical risk of zero deaths to children.

Lie 14: Following CDC recommendations is following science. Following CDC recommendations is following opinion, not science. Science is knowledge gained through observation, measurement, and experimentation and is reproducible and testable. CDC recommendations are interpretations of science, not science. Many CDC recommendations have been proven to be harmful.

Lie 15: The CDC protocols to treat COVID reduce deaths. This is a good example of the unscientific recommendations of the CDC. The CDC recommended for those diagnosed with COVID to be sent home without any treatment. [35] If they deteriorate to the point they could not be managed at home, they were to be admitted to the hospital and started on an antiviral, Remdesivir, which failed its trials because it was demonstrated to increase deaths. [36]

Lie 16: FDA approval means that a product is safe and effective. No, FDA approval means a drug can be legally marketed for a condition that the manufacturer demonstrated their product outperformed a placebo for a cherry-picked study group that does not represent the general population. Once a drug comes to market and is used in wider populations, often times the drug proves to be either ineffective or to cause much more harm than was seen in the study and, subsequently, it loses its approval.

Lie 17: Ivermectin is ineffective and unsafe in treating COVID. Multiple studies demonstrate ivermectin to be one of the safest medications in human history and, when used early and in conjunction with other early treatment protocols, can reduce hospitalization and deaths from COVID by up to 85%. [37] [38]

Lie 18: Hydroxychloroquine is ineffective and unsafe in treating COVID. Like ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine has proven to be one of the safest medications in human history—safe in children, pregnant women, and elderly—and is even over-the-counter in many countries. It has also had many studies documenting that when used in conjunction with other early treatments, it reduces hospitalizations and deaths from COVID. [39] The CDC did not recommend either ivermectin nor hydroxychloroquine despite the overwhelming evidence of safety and efficacy, but instead recommended no early treatment, resulting in multiple times more deaths than would have occurred had early treatment been carried out. [40] [41] [42]

Lie 19: Physician testimony of ICU patients dying from diagnosed COVID is an accurate barometer of the lethality of COVID. This is a difficult falsehood to uncover because the doctors giving their testimony are not lying about their experience; they saw people dying horribly, and their accounts are tragic and moving. However, they are not an accurate barometer of the lethality of COVID but of the lethality of the flawed CDC treatment protocols. Had the early treatment protocols been used that the CDC rejected, the number of deaths from COVID would have been reduced by approximately 85%.

Our minds have been purposely and intentionally manipulated; these are only some of the lies that have been told—there are more!

In part 4, we will conclude this series by completing our exploration of the nine steps used to manipulate minds and get people to make choices they would not otherwise make.

Testimony 50

After coming into contact with Come And Reason Ministries, I can finally say that many of my unanswered questions have fallen into place. I discovered that my view of God’s Law was “imposed laws and rules” with “imposed punishments” and that this was the major culprit of my many unanswered questions. Thanks be to God for using you and those around you to help us who have struggled with this “infection” of thought. I have now rejected the “imposed law” concept to fully embrace “Design Law”… to look thru “Design Law,” instead of “imposed law,” is a relief.

Viliami L., Australia

 

Testimony 33

I was invited over a friend’s house to see the “God and Your Brain” seminar today. I became [a christian] 36 years ago at the age of 19, but have struggled with the concept of God taking His ‘pound of flesh’ out on His Son to be appeased. Wow. Your seminar has been an incredible revelation and breath of reason and fresh air! I have your book, “The God Shaped Brain,” and it is SO eye opening. Finally, after 36 years enlightenment has come! Praise the Good Lord! What can I say, but that the Real Gospel is truly “Good News!” Thank you for your efforts in giving the Gospel a clear sound!

Paul C.,  Springfield, MA, USA

 

Testimony 59

I’m a native Ghanan, but am currently in France for my master’s degree. Prior to this, during my final years at undergraduate studies in Ghana, I was introduced to your ministry and I’ve been immensely blessed by what you share, especially about the Design and Imposed Laws. God richly bless you for that.

One of the first things I did when I arrived in France was to buy all four of your books. They not only helped me, but those I shared them with. I shared the message with an atheist student and I marveled at how God worked mightily in his life. Today this person shares the Love of God with others and debunks theories of who God is not. I want to share what you present in your “Heavenly Sanctuary and Investigative Judgment” pamphlet, because the message brought rest to my soul and I live today as a healthy person.

God bless you so much and your ministry.

Michael A., Ghana

 

Testimony 1

Thank you! I love listening to the Come And Reason Ministries Bible study classes and am using some of your notes to get the lessons together that I will be teaching. You always have such good quotes and Bible texts and pull things together to make good sense.

T. C., IN, USA

 

Testimony 3

My husband is a pastor and I listen to your lesson almost every week. Thank you for helping me in my study life and to help me love the “real” God more.

C. F., NC, USA

 

Testimony 41

I have been blessed by your ministry. I have experienced personally, and deeply resonate with, the God of love and the beautiful picture of God’s character that you present. I have seen your seminar series on YouTube, read ‘The Journal of the Watcher’ book, used your mobile app, and also listen/study the bible study lesson with you each week. I concur with many of the thoughts and perspectives that you share. I understand your conclusions on natural laws vs imposed law and the legal/penal substitution (incorrect diagnosis). This makes perfect sense to me.

Bless you for all you do.

Melissa L.

 

Testimony 18

The Healing the Mind DVD set tarted me on a journey that has changed my relationship with our loving God more significantly than any other study, and brought me to your book and Bible study podcasts, which I now listen to daily, thanks to the availability of archived content on your site and on iTunes.

Testimony 58

I have been watching your videos in The Power of Love seminar and I must say these have liberated me and have improved my relationship with the Lord. I am no longer terrified of him as I was before following your teachings.

Thando N., South Africa

 

Testimony 45

I have been confused for years about what [christianity] calls [its] most disgusting teaching. It has never made much sense to me and for that reason has been evermore empty. I have listened to your class off and on and have struggled determining what is truth, because of the resistance design law encounters in the church. So, I thank God for your ministry. What you teach makes sense. It’s logical and backed up by the power of love. I have never seen that in Christ until now. I am astounded by the insight that is found when we look at God’s ministry through design law. All strength to this message, as I believe it to be the power of God.

Brendon S.

 

Testimony 12

I have been really blessed reading your response to the various questions on your site.

K.C., OH, USA

 

Testimony 40

I was brought up in a different faith and have been petrified my whole life of God. I believed that I would burn in hell for eternity. When I was 12 I started pursuing the things of this world, but for the next 45 years the Spirit was always calling me, as I knew there was a God through nature. I could see the vast sea of stars in the universe and knew there was something bigger out there. Five years ago, through a Revelation seminar, I was blessed to learn about God’s character and government.

Then I found Come and Reason Ministries and have come under some extreme pressure when I speak about the ministry. One time a member sent me an internet article titled “Whats wrong with Tim Jennings?” I asked her what she thought of it and she said “I don’t know, I didn’t read it.”

I have always wanted to find out for myself the truth about God, so I stayed with the Design Law construct and have been liberated to understand the big picture. Once we consider Design Law, all other Bible stories and prophecies seem to fit perfectly. It is truly beautiful to see people grasping how God operates this Universe of Love and the liberation it has provided in their lives. It blows my mind to see how consistent Design law is with what our founders believed. I hear statements like “This makes so much sense.”

Tom W., Mt. Pleasant, MI, USA

 

Testimony 13

I borrowed “Healing The Mind” DVDs from a friend and showed them at my home for a small gathering of women friends. Neither of my friends are Adventist, but they both enjoyed and embraced the messages you taught. In fact, one of the ladies prayed out loud in our group and that was the first time she had ever had public prayer.

J.B. ,Dalles, OR, USA

 

Testimony 62

I would like to express my thanks to the C&R team for creating a platform from which people can learn to trust in God and grow. My life is a witness to the effectiveness of this ministry. Without believing the truth about God as you have shown, I don’t know what my life would be like. I had given up on God helping me with certain sins – it was all useless. Given that the scripture is clear and God is so good, how could I have betrayed him so many times? I was a yo-yo christian; spinning up and down. My faith and enthusiasm was driven by discoveries/threats that prophecy is about to be fulfilled. But when I watched your “Healing the Mind” seminar, it was like a light finally went on. I could see God had no plan to hurt me, the danger came from sin, and that He is working to protect me and strengthen me. Thank you for allowing God to use you. The message God gave C&R saved my life!

Antony N. – Hobart, Australia

 

Testimony 46

Over the past couple of years God has been expanding my view of Himself and His character. Along my approximately 40-year journey, I have often had questions, but was hesitant to voice these and step outside the traditionally accepted thinking, for fear of admitting that I may in fact be eternally lost. In the recesses of my thinking has been the thought – if one blindly accepts (which is widely regarded as “real faith”) and does not question, is this really ‘truth?’ I often find it challenging to grapple with very theological ‘speak,’ but Dr. Jennings has a real gift of explaining spiritual concepts with clear practical examples. The weekly discussions are growing my Christian experience and slowly changing my view of how to live as a child of God in today’s complex world. Finally the whole Old Testament sanctuary teaching moved in my mind from fantasy to reality!

Beverly S., South Africa

 

Testimony 57

You have helped make sense of thirty two years of confusion. The material you freely provide reorganized so much of my life into such a beautiful pattern that has always been hinted at from within, but misguided with my training and what I was experiencing externally. My filipno parents, who were converted from Catholicism to SDA, were sincere and did their best to raise me the right way and I have deep respect for them. However, being immigrants and not understanding the language made for a difficult transition as I was growing up, which also applied to my spiritual growth as I learned the patterns of religion. I have been listening to as many bible study classes and reading blog posts as my time in a work truck will allow, searching for the practical applications of where spirituality and reality meet, and I thank you for helping me find that. You have helped me reach a point in which I can truly say that I love God, that I believe He loves me, and, like David, I delight in His law. God bless.

Emmanuel V., Calgary, AB Canada
