I find it difficult to explain to people why I don’t want to be around them anymore. Well, I’m not obligated to explain. I’m not obligated to. I’m not obligated to. I will keep repeating it until I get it.
If I have to lower my standards in order to participate in a relationship with someone or a group of people, I’m not interested. How about you raise your standards a little? Why do people insist on taking everyone down around them. Lift yourselves up for goodness sakes!

Spot on, Brendan!
The terms conspiracy theorist/y drive me utterly bonkers. I call myself a psyop analyst which means I look at every event that seems implausible and is broadcast 24/7 in a way that suggests mind manipulation through the "psyop" lens. Psyops are conspiracies of a completely different nature to "normal" conspiracies in that while they may be planned secretly they are actually executed "hidden in plain sight". Every single event that I would call a psyop betrays this characteristic. One of the few events I determine to be real is the moon landings and I believe that those who think they were a hoax don't truly understand psyops because the moon landings do not betray any signs of a psyop ... while prominent moonhoaxers such as Bill Kaysing and Dave McGowan totally betray the characteristics of intelligence agents whose job was to mislead all those inclined to disbelieve the authorities Boy-Who-Cried-Wolf style into disbelieving one seemingly implausible event that was actually true.
The CT terms really are the best propaganda weapons of all time in my opinion and to expose how they work against the truth in so many ways I've written a substack, 12 logical fallacies unmasked in the use of the terms "conspiracy theory" and "conspiracy theorist". Originally, it was 11 but recently I discovered the logical fallacy, The Definist fallacy - and I post it below.
4. Refuters use the more specific and appropriate term, “psychological operation” or psyop - the Definist fallacy
Definist fallacy - Occurs whenever the definition of a term, word, or concept is used in a way that hinders reason or communication.
The vast majority of event narratives whose refutations elicit the label “conspiracy theory” are of a very specific type that those refuters - who do not take the strictly “straight bat” approach of professionals viewing the event through a more technical or scientific lens - recognise as “psychological operations” or psyops. For the anti-conspiracists though psyops aren’t even a thing, psyops have not been incorporated into their paradigm of how the world works! They simply don’t happen despite the history of them dating from at least Roman Emperor, Diocletian, staging fires and blaming them on the Christians and later The Gunpowder Plot in 1605 and The Great Fire of London in 1666 whose false explanations persist hundreds of years later.
The quintessential fictional psyop is the fable of The Emperor’s New Clothes with Hans Christian Andersen’s version being the most well-known.
--------------
[They] let it be known they were weavers, and they said they could weave the most magnificent fabrics imaginable. Not only were their colors and patterns uncommonly fine, but clothes made of this cloth had a wonderful way of becoming invisible to anyone who was unfit for his office, or who was unusually stupid.
…
So the honest old minister went to the room where the two swindlers sat working away at their empty looms.
"Heaven help me," he thought as his eyes flew wide open, "I can't see anything at all". But he did not say so.
Both the swindlers begged him to be so kind as to come near to approve the excellent pattern, the beautiful colors. They pointed to the empty looms, and the poor old minister stared as hard as he dared. He couldn't see anything, because there was nothing to see. "Heaven have mercy," he thought. "Can it be that I'm a fool? I'd have never guessed it, and not a soul must know. Am I unfit to be the minister? It would never do to let on that I can't see the cloth."
"Don't hesitate to tell us what you think of it," said one of the weavers.
"Oh, it's beautiful - it's enchanting." The old minister peered through his spectacles. "Such a pattern, what colors!" I'll be sure to tell the Emperor how delighted I am with it."
The fable shows that making people believe things doesn’t require a semblance of reality and that propaganda has a certain magical quality that seduces people into believing claims even when what they see with their own eyes belies them. In the fable, the weavers engage in some pre-emptive gaslighting by stating that the magnificent clothes will become invisible to people “unfit for their office” or “unusually stupid” where now we are gaslit (by both the perpetrators and their enablers) with the epithets “conspiracy theorist” and similar.
--------------
I’m not sure what real example serves as the quintessential psyop but I can think of no better than the collapse of WTC-7, the third tower - unhit by a plane - to come down on 9/11, by “fire”.
Structural engineer, Ron Brookman (my emphasis):
“When I first looked at the films of Tower 7, I automatically assumed and concluded - pretty close, quickly - that it was a controlled demolition. I didn't think it was worth a lot of extra effort to dig into the various details of the building in order to refute that.”
What neither the believers nor the disbelievers of the 9/11 narrative factor into their analysis is that those in power - from centuries of experience - have complete faith in the limitless elasticity of the Emperor’s New Clothes effect. It’s not as if they don’t know that destructions by fire and controlled demolition are fundamentally completely different kinds of destructions and there is no possibility of confusing one with the other, nor is it a case that they don’t know, as Fire Protection Engineer, Scott Grainger, says, that high rise steel frame buildings simply don’t come down by fire - that’s not a thing. They know, of course they know. But they also know:
Most people - regardless of their expertise which should direct them otherwise - will either believe or at least accept fire as the cause
A small minority - the derided “conspiracy theorists” - will recognise controlled demolition but this small minority is not powerful enough to cause problems in maintaining the fictional narrative …
… and that is why they brazenly showcase WTC-7’s perfect implosion from seven vantage points and script media personnel to refer to controlled demolition in their reporting. The brazenness does make me smile I have to admit.
A common type of psyop is one where those in power - with the collaboration of agencies and other actors - stage an event, often a kind of drill, and push it out across global media 24/7 as real with the intention of pushing our buttons, particularly the “fear” button.
Psyops are operations with a very distinctive MO pushed out over and over and over in a ludicrously obvious manner with the people willfully going along with what is told to them.
Thanks Brendan. The 12 logical fallacies post basically covers everything - I'm a bit of a one trick pony - but I guess the Chelsea Manning / Collateral Murder post could be of interest too.
I had a conversation with a chap from Brazil who considered me a vaccination conspiracy theorist when he couldn't refute the point that vaccines contain poisons and poisoning has never been good for health.
As for The Emperor's New clothes this was perhaps the first article I did, albeit a fixed page rather than post on Wordpress.
Good job Brendan, I particularly love the meme of the virus lab magicians!! Will be sharing far and wide. And yes, zero tolerance for infantile nonsense
This post had me LOLing! You nailed it right on the head with your words. It's helpful to hear your clarity in the face of so much irrationality and insanity brought out by the Scam. People have gone mad, truly. I just listened to your segment on Contagion on The End of Covid. It was BRILLIANT! Keep doing what you do. You are helping massively and in ways you can't possibly even know about. Thank you, Brendan Murphy. 💚
The reason i have never 'accepted Jesus into my life' is that to do so requires that i live my life the way Jesus ordains - or Jesus will suffer...A contract based on Guilt...
I have a condition, and i eschew seeing any medical doctor about it. ..In my local the other night, a friend's friend, whom i'd met only once before, drew me into conversation about My Condition...My resistance was "I dont need no Doctor", but the person kept forcing the conclusion: "You should go see Doctor "X.""... It was like being badgered by one of those Jesus zealots...Modern Medicine as secular religion has its evangelists...
Let me know if I can help somehow. Or maybe you can find someone to have a holographic blood consult with - then your own body will show you what's going on... :)
This post was very timely for me, thank you.

Actually, you have responded. That's the way I also handle similar situations.
It irritates me, when someone claims to tell the "truth," because human cognition is insufficient to know the truth:

Even the idea of "the truth" needs to be questioned.
As you suggest, how can we "know"?
Spot on, Brendan!

Thanks for this great comment, I'll need to head over and check out your work... :-)

As a pretty literal-minded person, I'm not terribly good at getting allegorical references but I think I got the general gist.
Good job Brendan, I particularly love the meme of the virus lab magicians!! Will be sharing far and wide. And yes, zero tolerance for infantile nonsense

Thank you so much, that means a lot. ❤️
Hear, hear, bro!
The reason i have never 'accepted Jesus into my life' is that to do so requires that i live my life the way Jesus ordains - or Jesus will suffer...A contract based on Guilt...
I like the rejection of a contract based on guilt - AND it (the Jesus thing) doesn't matter anyway. You'll do just fine without him... :-)
I have a condition, and i eschew seeing any medical doctor about it. ..In my local the other night, a friend's friend, whom i'd met only once before, drew me into conversation about My Condition...My resistance was "I dont need no Doctor", but the person kept forcing the conclusion: "You should go see Doctor "X.""...

It absolutely does, well said.
Let me know if I can help somehow. Or maybe you can find someone to have a holographic blood consult with - then your own body will show you what's going on... :)
