Manipulating the public on how to think and behave has never been easier than it is today using the wide reach of mainstream and social media.
New Zealanders largely followed the Ardern Government’s diktats spelt out to them by mainstream media’s daily propaganda broadcast and reinforced by every politician in government at the time, every public health official and a handful of prominent scientists and entertainers with no health expertise at all.
Daring to contradict the narrative was swiftly silenced by the threat of career termination and industry disbarment.
Ardern’s Covid strategy was hugely successful on paper but now the Covid pigeons are returning home to poop sickness and death on the heavily vaccinated. Ardern and Bloomfield have fled and the MSM avoids the health debacle they helped create. The only winner from Covid was social media, notably X, which grew exponentially when Musk revoked censorship.
Covid was built on the success of so-called philanthropist JD Rockefeller, who harnessed public relations to steer the public away from natural health remedies and right into the hands of Big Pharma’s lucrative synthetic drug industry.

Mainstream media’s reliance on public funding compromised journalistic independence and gave governments, the pharmaceutical industry and supportive lobby groups unchallenged messaging and access to prime time advertising slots.
Last year, Romania’s national election tested its commitment to democracy and was found wanting. The government discarded first-round election results from 24 November 2024, after dark-horse, Russia-loving, candidate Călin Georgescu came out of nowhere to sail past the incumbent larger PSD and Liberal parties, which took the majority of seats in 2020.
Ultranationalist Călin Georgescu, who joined the presidential elections as an independent candidate, unexpectedly scored a first-round victory and will face reformist leader Elena Lasconi (USR) in the second round, the final results confirmed. Meanwhile, traditional parties PSD (Social Democrats) and PNL (Liberals) failed to pass the first round, triggering major electoral upsets.
Published but unproven election interference was the reason for the Constitutional Court of Romania voting unanimously to annul the election result, cancel round-two voting and start again on 25 May 2025 with a replacement first-round vote.
The court cited “a newly declassified intelligence report that pointed to Russian election interference on behalf of Călin Georgescu”.
Russia is accused of running “a coordinated campaign across social media platforms such as Telegram, Facebook, and, most importantly, TikTok that gave would-be voters the assumption that Georgescu was a more prominent candidate”.
If a foreign power did manipulate voter using social media, how hard would it have been for any government, big business or lobby groups inside Romania to manipulate voters using mainstream media?
Thousands of Romanian voters rallied outside the Romanian Court to pressure it into retaining first-round voting results. The protest failed. But what happens if Georgescu achieves the same result next time? Will the authorities repeat the annulment process until they get their desired result? Is this how democracy works?
Media manipulation of voters is obvious but much less obvious is the public’s refusal to accept their susceptibility to being conned. Suggesting voters exhibit sheep-like behaviour or act like mindless fools simply makes them angry, even if it’s true.

The concept of manipulating people first appeared as subliminal advertising in 1957, when James Vicary messaged movie goers.
“Eat popcorn” and “Drink Coca-Cola” – flashed for three milliseconds, every five seconds, onto a movie screen in Fort Lee, NJ, while patrons watched Picnic. Vicary argued that these messages were too fast for filmgoers to read but salient enough for the audience to register their meaning subconsciously. As proof, he presented data indicating that the messages had increased soda sales at the theater by 18 per cent and popcorn sales by 58 per cent.
The public responded with outrage and Vicary was forced to back down, claiming the study was a money-making gimmick and not really manipulation. Nevertheless, the considerable public ire troubled the UK, Australia and the National Association of Broadcasters in America into banning subliminal advertising, which, oddly, is still used openly today in the motivational studies industry, where participants agree to become recipients of subliminal messaging because they want to change their behaviour.
Instructing a subject’s brain how to feel and behave has emerged more recently in science and research work using nano technology and magnetism.
Researchers at the IBS have successfully developed a cutting-edge magnetogenetics technology called Nano-MIND, which enables wireless and remote control of specific brain regions to modulate complex brain functions such as emotions, social behaviors, and motivation in animals. This advanced technology leverages magnetic fields and magnetized nanoparticles to selectively activate targeted brain circuits. The key innovation lies in the selective expression of nano-magnetoreceptors in specific neuronal types and brain circuits and activating them with rotating magnetic fields at precise moments, allowing for spatiotemporal control of neural activity.
Scientists working on the concept of mind control do it on the basis of health studies to benefit the sick, which avoids any suggestion of using widespread mind control to override individual choice.
Not so acceptable or well known are the CIA’s mind control experiments in the 1950s and ’60s, known as “Project MKULTRA”, which Cathy O’Brien survived to write about.
Will democracy survive growing assaults on the way people are told to think and censored to make sure it sticks?
Given the success of Covid censorship and the public’s refusal to acknowledge the ease of manipulation and recent scientific developments, should we be worried?
Censorship overplayed its hand during Covid; this resulted in social media growth as people looked for alternative answers.
The most enthusiastic censorship advocate claims to have changed his tune recently, perhaps due to social media envy, a personal meeting with Donald Trump and possibly a dwindling bottom line. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg promise to “get rid of fact-checkers and replace them with Community Notes similar to X, starting in the US”.
“Fact checkers” paid to tell us what to think about climate change, Covid, Covid ‘vaccines’, Palestine, the LGBT movement, DEI placements, Trump, the Ukraine conflict…a small selection from a long subject list are coming undone when proved wrong.
Public awareness and uncensored discussion are the only avenues available to protect democracy from humanity’s best efforts to destroy itself by exploiting the unwitting.

So in Romania, Russia is accused of running a coordinated campaign that gave would-be voters the assumption that Georgescu was a more prominent candidate.
That is exactly what Stuff did in Wellington to get Tori Whanau elected. They ran unscientific surveys making her look more prominent than she was, printed double page spreads praising her, which they didn't do for other candidates, and covered up all her defects. Hence the election of the Wellington's worst ever mayor, with the public's sheep like behaviour and the naivety of the MSM's political views.
David Farrar complained to the Press Council about it, but that is self managed by the woke media themselves. It's a pity we don't have judiciary like they do in Romania.
