We humans are hard-wired to respond to fear. It’s a survival strategy that has stood the test of time, because fear creates a suite of reactions in our minds and bodies in order that we save ourselves from whatever threat we face. It’s such an important factor in our current paradigm that two weeks ago Meleni devoted an entire article to it. 

The state of fear can be triggered by any of our 6 senses (sight, taste, hearing, smell, touch and intuition/extra sensory perception). But in our modern world we are much more likely to be triggered by three of these senses: what we see, hear and feel. The mainstream media armed with the latest knowledge from heavily funded teams of behavioural scientists knows this only too well.  

This means that the mainstream media plays a pivotal role in crafting mindsets across the globe – this opportunity being upgraded over the last couple of years by the sustained interest people have in covid because they’re either frightened by the invisible virus or they’re concerned about how the pandemic will affect their lives. But in reality, the conditioning of the public mind is a drip-feed programming process that has been on-going for decades with people almost religiously tuning into the daily news as if it were a form of sustenance. They do it even more often, typically multiple times a day, during times of crisis.
