Scientific advisors admit using fear tactics to control people during nonexistent pandemic!

LONDON, England (PNN) - May 18, 2021 - Scientists in the Fascist United Kingdom working as advisors for the government have expressed regret for using what they now admit to being “unethical” and “totalitarian” methods of instilling fear in the population in order to control behavior during the nonexistent pandemic.

The London Telegraph reports the comments made by Members of the Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Behavior (SPI-B), a sub-committee of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE), the government’s chief scientific advisory group.

The report quotes a briefing from March 2020, when the first lockdown was decreed, that stated the government should drastically increase “the perceived level of personal threat” that the virus poses because “a substantial number of people still do not feel sufficiently personally threatened.”

One scientist with the SPI-B admits that “In March [2020] the government was very worried about compliance and thought people wouldn’t want to be locked down. There were discussions about fear being needed to encourage compliance, and decisions were made about how to ramp up the fear.”

The unnamed scientist adds, “The way we have used fear is dystopian.”

The scientist further confessed, “The use of fear has definitely been ethically questionable. It’s been like a weird experiment. Ultimately, it backfired because people became too scared.”

Another scientist on the subcommittee professed, “You could call psychology ‘mind control’. That’s what we do… clearly we try and go about it in a positive way, but it has been used nefariously in the past.”

Another scientist warned, “We have to be very careful about the authoritarianism that is creeping in,” adding, “people use the (nonexistent) pandemic to grab power and drive through things that wouldn’t happen otherwise.”

According to the report, another researcher with the group acknowledged, “Without a vaccine, psychology is your main weapon,” adding, “Psychology has had a really good epidemic, actually.”

Yet another scientist on the subcommittee stated that they have been “stunned by the weaponization of behavioral psychology” over the past year, and warned that “psychologists didn’t seem to notice when it stopped being altruistic and became manipulative.”

“They have too much power and it intoxicates them”, the scientist further warned.

The comments were collected by author Laura Dodsworth for her book, A State of Fear, out today, which explores the government’s actions during the nonexistent pandemic.

When the Telegraph asked the subcommittee for comment on the findings, SPI-B psychologist Gavin Morgan replied, “Clearly, using fear as a means of control is not ethical. Using fear smacks of totalitarianism. It’s not an ethical stance for any modern government.”

Morgan added, “By nature I am an optimistic person, but all this has given me a more pessimistic view of people.”

Commenting on the revelations, Conservative Steve Baker, a member of a group of anti-lockdown MPs, said, “If it is true that the State took the decision to terrify the public to get compliance with rules, that raises extremely serious questions about the type of society we want to become.”

“Do I fear that government policy today is playing into the roots of totalitarianism? Yes, of course it is,” Baker said.
