Margaret, thank you for your considered reply and the helpful links. Your final thought - "It is only people who are ignorant of both history and the present tyranny who can deny the blatantly undeniable parallels." - I found particularly resonant. The hypnosis aspect of Covid propaganda is enabling ignorance by the forceful repetition of a single, unquestionable, authoritative story by means of various psychological tricks making it seem authentic and undeniable.
The enabling of ignorance has profound effects, not just in the acceptance of lies and deceit but in the act of self harm, as we are seeing globally. And, in line with our topic, the denial of history, however factually presented.
I would go as far to say that E.I. (Enabled Ignorance) is the necessary factor for A.I. to succeed. The global propaganda psy-op is to dumb us down into acceptance and obedience. The amount of preparation and research into behavioural dynamics done for this is immense. It's not child's play, yet it appears so deceptively simple.
It is the Jews who DO speak out that can turn this tide, as you noted with Inge Ginsburg. Another is Aviva Dautch who has a Twitter feed. She commented on this topic,
"I've seen several tweets comparing this to the Nazis / The Holocaust and saying things like 'This is how it begins.' I teach Holocaust literature so let me tell you - this ISN'T how it began. This is already several stages along the way."
Ultimately, who can say how we can get through to people, how they can or will wake up? I don't know. Collectively, we are in this together, however divisive it seems. It's good to remember that.
Thank you so much for the pointer to Aviva Dautch—how very encouraging! We desperately need the voices of those who have suffered atrocities in the past to step forward and try to halt it from happening now.
Indeed. And I think there's a whole piece to be written about E.I. - it's endemic in our culture at the moment. The dumbing down into emotional reactions and the soma of dopamine fixes make a false narrative without factual evidence possible.
Historically, the success and breadth of the Catholic Church (talk about globalists!) was also due to E.I. - it was heresy to read, punishable by death. Keep the people ignorant and they'll believe anything. Make up a story of the bogeyman Satan (virus) and the eternal pain of hellfire if disobeyed (police beatings, prison camps) then strict obedience to the narrative will keep them safe. This story/strategy has been going on for centuries by the power elite. And still people buy it, thanks to E.I. and its primitive brain state of fear.
I agree about Enabled Ignorance meriting its own article—you should write it!
Yes, I’ve been thinking about the parallels between the Reformation overturning the Catholic Church’s singular grip on the “Truth” and the Internet permitting laypersons like us to examine data and access scientific resources ourselves instead of Trusting The Science™ like the high priests demand. We’re witnessing the same kind of crumbling of authority and empowering of the commoners that occurred during the Reformation.
“This makes me furious. The tweet was about internment of refugee children. Vaccinations are lifesaving. It’s the abuse of truth by the anti-vax brigade that’s fascist.”

Navyo, I love “Enabled Ignorance”!

And the need for protection.
Very late in the game to be commenting but maybe you’ll see this.
Today, 2-7-24 I checked Aviva Dautch’s Twitter page. Apparently in her “pinned” tweet she “clarifies” that quote.
Seems to me she doesn’t mean what Navyo or you think (maybe by now - thought)
I’d include it here but am tech challenged 🤣
Please see what you think…

Well, that's disappointing (and didn't age well). Thank you for the follow-up, SusanMc! Here is the tweet for those who are wondering:
