I was aware of this eating insect/bug narrative through the promotion of Nicole Kidman “eating bugs” in 2021, an attempt to make eating bugs look attractive and to normalise this behaviour. That narrative has bubbled to the “in your face” surface now as highlighted in Episode 355 of The Highwire covering recent German Farmer Protests and connecting that to insects farming. This war against our food supply has been going on long before 2024.

Crafting the Narrative

Follow along the timeline from the bottom and notice the target market shifting, the groups who first get excited, the investors and more. It starts with “inspired” college roommates, investors are “attracted”, the “movement” has capital now to “market” and build, then the United Nations gets on board [allegedly].

It appears to have started in 2006 with the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation releasing a report titled Livestock’s Long Shadow which is being quoted that by 2050 Glgbal demand for meat will double, where “livestock production accounts already for 70% of all agricultural land”. Based on these trusted numbers alternative, sustainable protein sources have been pushed from January 2012 conference.

The “growing drive to bring insects into Western shopping baskets” took off in 2013 following FAO’s Edible Insects report . They are “rich in protein; environmentally friendly to harvest; sustainable; and, they’re already eaten, and enjoyed, in many other parts of the world.”

Setting the stage for the next superfood, packed with nutrition!: “‘Crickets are up to 70 per cent protein, which is three times the amount of protein found in beef. They’ve also got more iron than spinach, more calcium than milk, and the list keeps going. They are an incredible superfood.”

The Gateway Insect: “Crickets are the most widely cultivated insects for the human diet across the world and are considered the ‘gateway bug’ for people who choose to eat insects.”

1. Edible insects can produce equivalent amounts of quality protein when compared to animals – not all but, crickets, certain ant species and mealworms are known to be protein and calorie dense stars in the the insect-consumption world.
2. Insects require less care and upkeep than livestock – they use less resources, less than plants!! [Plants use CO2 and produce oxygen – it appears they want to take our plants too!]
3. We’re actually running out of protein – The demand for protein will exceed our ability to procure it with10 bn people by 2050 [Well if the taking land, well yes!]
4. Insects are part of a virtuous eco-cycle – circular agriculture – feed microlivestock landfill waste!
5. . You can start small and work your way up – consume animals raised on insects!

Further research would be necessary, especially as regards the raising of insects on waste streams. But it is widely understood by scientists that insects are so biologically different from mammals that it is highly unlikely that insect diseases could be transmitted to humans.”
  • Regulations often also bar using insects in food for human consumption
  • “The private sector is ready to invest in insect farming. We have huge opportunities before us,” said Paul Vantomme, one of the authors of the report. “But until there is clarity in the legal sphere, no major business is going to take the risk to invest funds when the laws remains unclear or actually hinders development of this new sector,”

Global demand for livestock products will more than double during the next 50 years (from 229 million tonnes in 1999/2001 to 465 million tonnes by 2050), and livestock production accounts already for 70% of all agricultural land. The livestock sector is an important contributor to greenhouse gas emissions such as CO₂, CH₄ and N₂O.”
• Globally the livestock sector is “one of the largest sources of greenhouse gases and one of the leading causal factors in the loss of biodiversity” …The livestock sector is also a primary player in the agricultural economy, a major provider of livelihoods for the poor and a major determinant of human diet and health. Hence its environmental role needs to be seen in the context of its many different functions…” pg 267

Problem > Reaction > Solution

Once you know this, you’ll see it everywhere!

David Ike explains the mind-manipulation technique which he calls Problem > Reaction > Solution

“This “Problem-Reaction-Solution” technique is not just used to create and control wars, it can also be applied to any situation where you want to produce a particular outcome. …It can also be used to introduce new laws that restrict our civil liberties.

So, whenever you see some big news story – whether it be an alleged terrorist attack, a run on a currency, the accidental loss of people’s data, or an allegation that some poor country has developed nuclear weapons, [or the emergence of a novel virus] – the first question you need to ask yourself is this:

“Who benefits from me believing this information? “

David Ike

The Hegelian Dialectic

Georg Hegel (1770-1831) a German Philosopher “came up with the basic system for achieving the goals of the Illuminati called The Hegalian Dialectic” – WATCH

A system based on 3 basic steps:

1. Create the Problem
2. Control the Reaction
3. Offer the Solution

Dialectic: The art or practice of arriving at the truth by the exchange of logical arguments – DICTIONARY.
“The dialectic refers to a movement of the mind in search for truth.”- REF

David Ike did not discover the manipulation formula, Problem-Reaction-Soultion, he merely put Georg Hegel’s founding systematic philosophy into layperson’s speak.

David Ike explains how it works today:

…it works like this: Let’s say you want to centralize power into fewer and fewer hands through the UN or NATO. If you did that openly and said, “This is what we want to do”, there’d be a reaction against that. People would say, “Hey, this is a fascist state you want to create. Were not having this.” But through this technique of Problem-Reaction-Solution, you can actually manipulate people to demand you do what you want to do anyway.

So it works like this: First of all you create the problem, but you get someone else to be blamed for it. You then report that problem through the media in the way you want it reported – because the media is owned by the same people who own the banks, etc. You get the public to react to your problem by saying, “Something must be done; this can’t go on; what are THEY going to do about it?”. [FEAR] And at that point, THEY, who have covertly created the problem and blamed someone else, who gleaned that reaction of “Do Something”, then offer the solution to the problems they have created.

So if you take the world wars for example – after the first world war, which the financial centers of London and Wall Street, etc, funded all sides, power on this planet was in fewer hands than ever before (via the League of Nations). After the second world war, it was even fewer hands on the wheels of power. And as a result of the second world war, we had the creation of the United Nations [think WORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION] and NATO; and we had this great centralization of global power.

• “While it’s true that Hegel wrote about dialectics as a process, he never actually mentioned the words “thesis, antithesis and synthesis” in his writings… Hegel instead made use of terms like “concrete, absolute and universal”.”

The Triad Thesis:

• Thesis: the moment of understanding (Problem)
• Antithesis: Dialectical moment (Opposition, the negative, Reaction)
• Synthesis: Speculative moment (Rational, Solution)

• “The synthesis is a statement that arises from the thesis and the antithesis, and continues the discussion.”

As an academic researcher, Mattias started to study the statistics presented around the current events in early 2020 and it became clear to him that the stats needed further exploration and discussion and he became concerned by the consensus narrative.

Professor Desmet began working on his theory of mass formation well before the pandemic began, but during the pandemic he watched the phenomenon play out in real time. The kind of collective hypnosis that occurs when a population is under certain disconnected, fearful societal conditions.

Professor Desmet’s theory grabbed attention after Dr Robert Malone began speaking about the hypothesis of “mass formation psychosis” on Joe Rogan’s podcast in late December 2021. Professor Desmet refers to the phenomenon as simply “mass formation”.

His new book, The Psychology of Totalitarianism, lays out what mass formation is, how it develops, how it leads to totalitarianism, and what we must do to change the conditions that makes these mass formation events possible.

This page captures interviews with Professor Desmet, as well as “push-back” articles and information against the term Mass Formation.

Totalitarianism is characterized by processes of large scale mass formation and 4 conditions are needed for this large scale mass formation to occur:

1. A large amount of people must feel alone and isolated
2. Their lives must feel pointless and meaningless
3. There must be high levels of free floating anxiety
4. There must be high levels of free-floating frustration and aggression

“Desmet suggests three ways to break the mass formation:

• The 1st is for the dissidents to form one large group which gives the fence-sitters in the middle who do not want to be ostracized an alternative social bonding platform.
• The 2nd is to speak out loudly to minimize the hypnosis and wake up some already under the spell.
• The 3rd is to create parallel structures within society to give birth to a parallel culture that functions as a sanctuary of sanity.

The good news is that totalitarian systems always fall apart as the psychological underpinnings are so self-destructive. Wake up now!”

The Milgram Shock Experiment

Testing Obedience of the Individual to Authority Figures

The aim was to see just how far participants (the “Teacher”) would go in obeying an instruction if it involved harming another person. – READ, WATCH, BACKUP, EXCERPT, Patrick Byrne – COMMENT

The experiment showed that two thirds of people can be talked into being fully compliant to an authority figure, even when it meant inflicting harm on another person, even though their conscience is telling them otherwise. The experimenter (the authority figure) would use “a series of four prods” to test obedience

The Asch Experiment

Psychological Operations (Psyops)

Definition: psyops (From the US Department of Defense)

“Psyops are the use of propaganda and psychological tactics to influence emotions and behaviors.”

The US Department of Defence (DOD), Counterinsurgency Operations Reports define “psyops” as the following:

“The mission of psychological Operations (psyops) is to influence the behavior of foreign target audiences to support US national objectives. A psyop accomplishes this by conveying selected information and advising on actions that influence the emotions, motives, objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of foreign audiences. Behavioral change is at the root of the psyop mission.”

Read that last sentence again. “Behavioral change is at the root of the psyop mission.”

At the heart of a psyops operations are behavioral tools or mind control techniques such as hypnosis, mass formation, censorship, security theatre, use of fear to drive anxiety and propaganda.

What is Nudging?

“A nudge is any attempt at influencing people’s judgment, choice or behaviour in a predictable way that is motivated because of cognitive boundaries, biases, routines, and habits in individual and social decision-making posing barriers for people to perform rationally in their own self-declared interests, and which works by making use of those boundaries, biases, routines, and habits as integral parts of such attempts.” – REF

The post Behavioural Modification of a Population first appeared on Totality of Evidence.

Hats off to the enormous effort of those who put together the video compilations below. These are proof that alleged “independent” media giants are not in fact carrying out independent journalism, but are repeating a script handed to them.

Who is providing them with the narrative script?
If 6 companies own the mainstream media in the US, how easy would that be to control the information?
Now add social media tech giant censorship to that mix!

Australia’s media ownership is concentrated to a handful of controllers. [1]

Is Australia’s ABC truly “independent” or influenced by funding and suffer from reporting bias?
As stated in this article, “[t]he ABC is a state-owned broadcaster, which is dependent on triennial funding arrangements drawn from the Commonwealth budget, which is set by the political discretion of the government of the day.” which means that “[p]ublic broadcasters have their budgets set by the same governments which they purport to keep a check on.”

In mid 2020 I came across video’s that mentioned Q, I had no idea what this was all about, so I went searching to find out…and I’ve come to my own conclusions. I suggest you do the same…or you could just blindly believe the MSM narrative!

• As Americans unplug from cable and satellite services, networks like CNN, MSNBC, and Fox will eventually disappear. They will be replaced by individualized sources of news that will allow us to pick and choose what kind of news we want to see and hear. The difference is that we’ll know exactly what kind of bias we’ll be getting compared to having networks pretend they aren’t biased at all.”

• “Almost all journalists seem to have lost their cynicism towards claims by the authorities and instead become addicted to pandemic panic porn. The measures taken have been extreme, more even than has been done during a war and more than was attempted during earlier, deadlier flu epidemics.

• “Edward Bernays, the so-called father of public relations, wrote about an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. He was referring to journalism, the media.
• A history few journalist talk about or know about, … began with the arrival of corporate advertising. About 80 years ago, as the new corporations began taking over the press, something called “professional journalism” was invented. Professional journalists had to ensure that news and opinion were dominated by official sources. EXAMPLE
• “To attract big advertisers, the new corporate press had to appear respectable, pillars of the establishment–objective, impartial, balanced. The first schools of journalism were set up, and a mythology of liberal neutrality was spun around the professional journalist….it was “entirely bogus”.
• BBC news routinely describes the [WMD Iraq] invasion as a miscalculation. Not Illegal, not unprovoked, not based on lies, but a miscalculation. – similar words mistake, blunder, failure!

• “In examining the CIA’s past and present use of the U.S. media, the Committee finds two reasons for concern. The first is the potential, inherent in covert media operations, for manipulating or incidentally misleading the American public. The second is the damage to the credibility and independence of a free press which may be caused by covert relationships with U.S. journalists and media organizations.” – REF
