Military leaders saw pandemic as unique opportunity to test propaganda techniques on Canadians, Forces report says

Canadian military leaders saw the pandemic as a unique opportunity to test out propaganda techniques on an unsuspecting public, a newly released Canadian Forces report concludes.

The federal government never asked for the so-called information operations campaign, nor did cabinet authorize the initiative developed during the COVID-19 pandemic by the Canadian Joint Operations Command, then headed by Lt.-Gen. Mike Rouleau.

But military commanders believed they didn’t need to get approval from higher authorities to develop and proceed with their plan, retired Maj.-Gen. Daniel Gosselin, who was brought in to investigate the scheme, concluded in his report.

The propaganda plan was developed and put in place in April 2020 even though the Canadian Forces had already acknowledged that “information operations and targeting policies and doctrines are aimed at adversaries and have a limited application in a domestic concept.”

Cartoon Cringe: Family Guy Drops Covid Vaccine Propaganda PSA

One of the top animated comedy shows in history, “Family Guy,” is going all-in for the establishment after releasing a propaganda promo pushing experimental mRNA Covid vaccines.

Released Tuesday, the “Family Guy” PSA put together in tandem with the Ad Council urges people to get vaccinated for the good of the masses.

In the clip, Stewie and Brian are transported inside Peter’s body where they explain to viewers how vaccines work.

In the first instance of BS, Stewie claims vaccinations eliminated smallpox and are well on their way to doing the same with polio.

However, even AP News admits polio vaccines are responsible for more polio cases than the wild virus itself.

Both polio and smallpox were on downward trends when the respective vaccines came out.

Stewie also explained how mRNA spike proteins work, claiming, “You don’t get sick with the vaccine,” and that the vaccine “drastically reduces the chances you’ll get sick.”

“The vaccine also results in the creation of memory cells that will fight the virus in years to come,” Stewie alleges.

Once again, this is simply misleading at best and totally untrue at worst.

Many people who have taken the experimental vaccines have gone on to contract Covid, and even with “memory cells,” the vaccines have been proven to be ineffective at fighting variants.

A Tool of Control: How Health Officials Weaponize Language to Manage Public Perception of COVID Vaccines

Psychological and linguistic manipulation are, for those in power, proven tools for building, consolidating and maintaining dominance — a reality keenly depicted in George Orwell’s never-more-relevant novel, “1984.”

As phrased by master propagandist Edward Bernays, an approximate contemporary of Orwell’s, the mind of the people “is made up for it by the group leaders in whom it believes and by those persons who understand the manipulation of public opinion.”

Recent events surrounding COVID vaccines have shown that medicine and public health — with the help of a complicit media — are particularly skilled at “pull[ing] the wires which control the public mind.”

The clever bag of linguistic tricks deployed by the medical cartel includes seeding evocative terms such as “vaccine hesitancy” and “lockdowns” (which is prison terminology) into popular and scientific discourse, forging slippery new definitions of words with formerly fixed meanings (such as “pandemic,” “herd immunity” and “vaccine”), and circling failed products back around by giving them the positive spin of “boosters.”

Ominously, medicine’s and public health’s verbal assaults encourage shaming of, or violence against, those who ask questions, while upholding the disingenuous pretense that vaccine mandates are compatible with freedom.

The Propaganda Multiplier

It is one of the most important aspects of our media system, and yet hardly known to the public: most of the international news coverage in Western media is provided by only three global news agencies based in New York, London and Paris.

The key role played by these agencies means Western media often report on the same topics, even using the same wording. In addition, governments, military and intelligence services use these global news agencies as multipliers to spread their messages around the world.

A study of the Syria war coverage by nine leading European newspapers clearly illustrates these issues: 78% of all articles were based in whole or in part on agency reports, yet 0% on investigative research. Moreover, 82% of all opinion pieces and interviews were in favor of a US and NATO intervention, while propaganda was attributed exclusively to the opposite side.
