We've heard the news saying for a long time, "if it bleeds it leads." Fear and Sex are two of the most powerful influences on the human mind.
Take this story on the importance of everyone getting the HPV vaccine. It uses both fear and sex in the same pitch because HPV vaccine uptake isn't as popular as those who pay for the news (Big Pharma) want it to be:
This story was one of the first to push masks in early April, 2020. Its medical efficacy known to be questionable, but sold as a compassionate thing to do, symbolic, show you care about others, "honor badges":
That was the opening ad pitch. But the real "science" behind masks was Fear. Masked faces trigger the same amygdala, "fight, flight or freeze" response as snakes:
Of snakes and faces: An evolutionary perspective on the psychology of fear
Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, November 19, 2009
Sell it as compassion to the early adopters of the current thing, quickly becoming mandated after the same people who pay for the news (Big Pharma) write stories urging their compulsory adoption, including sexy stars and starlets in PSA's modeling masks, and next thing you know all of society is made into walking billboards of fear. How to terrorize a society into submission.
Which is why before 2020 masks were only seen in BDSM kinkster communities, the Dom-submissive power and control roles, "Fifty Shades of Grey":
Since it was so wildly successful, better than the BS practitioners imagined it would be even in the UK and US, authorities are giddy, drunk on the power it gives them, expanding funding for new Behavioral Health programs in cities and states across the nation, exponentially since 2020. You can check your own state for how many new behavioral health programs have started since 2020 just keyword searching "behavioral health" and your state or city in any search engine. Lots of laudatory praise for how wonderful they are at improving healthy outcomes and lives in your city and state. That's their story and they're sticking to it!
Whenever you hear authorities say they are "following the best science" know that they mean Behavioral Science, not natural science, not medical science, not biology or microbiology, not meteorology, not atmospheric, not chemistry not any hard science. And they want you to follow that BS right into the clutches of totalitarianism. Hiding in the intentional ambiguity of the word, "science," knowing you'll default think they mean hard, natural science while they actually mean soft, social, behavioral science. Which is a branch of the same tree limb that political science is on. Fear and Sex. Primal motivators, influences on human behavior.
Fear is always a lie. Fear always makes people irrational. Fear often causes people to run into the arms of something they think will save them from what they fear, but which turns out to be worse. I have seen that in the deaths and injuries of countless people I know who took the covid shot because they were afraid of a flu.
Here are other quotes I have saved in my journal to help fear.
(Fear of failure is one of the greatest fears people have. Fear of failure is closely related to fear of criticism and fear of rejection. Successful people overcome their fear of failure. Fear incapacitates unsuccessful people.
The Law of Feedback states that there is no failure, only feedback. Successful people look at mistakes as outcomes or results, not as failures. Unsuccessful people look at mistakes as permanent and personal.
Buckminster Fuller wrote, "Whatever humans have learned had to be learned as a consequence only of trial and error experience. Humans have learned only through mistakes."
Most people self-limit themselves. Most people do not achieve a fraction of what they are capable of achieving because they are afraid to try—because they are afraid they will fail.
Take these steps to overcome your fear of failure and move yourself forward to getting the result you desire:
Step One: Take action. Bold, decisive action. Do something scary. Fear of failure immobilizes you. To overcome this fear, you must act. When you act, act boldly.
Action gives you the power to change the circumstances or the situation. You must overcome the inertia by doing something. Dr. Robert Schuller asks, "What would you do if you knew you could not fail?" What could you achieve? Be brave and just do it. If it doesn’t work out the way you want, then do something else. But DO SOMETHING NOW.
Step Two: Persist. Successful people just don’t give up. They keep trying different approaches to achieving their outcomes until they finally get the results they want. Unsuccessful people try one thing that doesn’t work and then give up. Often people give up when they are on the threshold of succeeding.
Step Three: Don’t take failure personally. Failure is about behavior, outcomes, and results. Failure is not a personality characteristic. Although what you do may not give you the result you wanted, it doesn’t mean you are a failure. Because you made a mistake doesn’t mean that you are a failure.
Step Four: Do things differently. If what you are doing isn’t working, do something else. There is an old saying, "if you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you always got." If you’re not getting the desired results, you must do something different. Most people stop doing anything, which guarantees they won’t be successful.
Step Five: Don’t be so hard on yourself. Hey, if nothing else, you know what doesn’t work. Failure is a judgement or evaluation of behavior. Look at failure as an event or a happening, not as a person.
Step Six: Treat the experience as an opportunity to learn. Think of failure as a learning experience. What did you learn from the experience that will help you in the future? How can you use the experience to improve yourself or your situation? Ask yourself these questions: (1) What was the mistake? (2) How could it have been prevented? (3) How can I do better next time?
Then use what you learned from the experience to do things differently so you get different results next time. Learn from the experience or ignore it.
Step Seven: Look for possible opportunities that result from the experience. Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich, says "every adversity, every failure and every heartache carries with it the seed of an equivalent or a greater benefit." Look for the opportunity and the benefit.
Step Eight: Fail forward fast. Tom Peters, the management guru, says that in today’s business world, companies must fail forward fast. What he means is that the way we learn is by making mistakes. So if we want to learn at a faster pace, we must make mistakes at a faster pace. The key is that you must learn from the mistakes so you make so you don’t repeat them.
Although we all make mistakes, fear of failure doesn’t have to cripple you. As self-help author Susan Jeffers says, "feel the fear and do it anyway."
DR. JEFF HORAK: They call the surgeon in when there's trauma, alright? Look around, this community is in trouble. Alright? I wore a mask for 38 years. I'm in a position for just that long. Everything I do, put a mask on and I can tell you when I put that N95 mask on and just stood there and operated I got headaches. I got headaches. I'm used to wearing masks. I'm not even trying to do without running or playing a gym or all the other stuff. These masks? You want to stop the virus? The example of it is like trying to stop a mosquito with a chain-link fence. Good luck, alright? Yes, I sneeze. These masks are designed to toss shit behind me [laughter from audience] That's all they're designed for. So I'm still not sure why I'm here.
Yes, I take care of people. I feel like what this is about, this is about fear. This is about fear. I'm going to say it right out [thumps podium with fist], this is about death. Everybody around here is scared that a kid might die in this community and I'm terrified of it, too. But I've been the guy there who pronounced the kids when they died. We all remember, I'm not gonna say her name, but an 18 month little girl who got hit by a car. Her mom was a nurse, [inaudible] was her primary doctor. And we tried to keep her going as long as we could, but it was time, and I pronounced her because nobody else ever could.
Because why? Because it's not about our science. You can find anything you want about science. You can go read any— I can prove either side of this anytime, looking anywhere I want, I can find the data that'll show what you think is right.
You heard that from people out here. Social media? You heard it. Tom [inaudible] did an excellent job. I'll grow my social media thing [inaudible].
So what do I do when I have to make life death decisions? Because effectively that's what you're being tasked to decide. Somewhere along this [inaudible] you're going to have to decide and your decision is going to make a life or death decision for some kid, or an adult, or like my partner said, her kid's home because that kid might have brought that to that uncle and he got it and he died.
We all are going to die. It's a given. You cannot change it. Who do you believe? What is your foundation? This city has 17 Lutheran churches. [laughter from audience] It, it's environment, you can't turn without seeing a church. Detroit, Michigan, you can't turn without seeing a liquor store! [laughter from audience] I am blessed to be in this community, as are all of you, but now you're put in a position to make a decision.
How do I make my decisions with my experience of 35, 38 years with what I've seen? You know what really magic is of what surgery does? You take, and one of you might need my services tonight because chances are, y'all are going to get an ulcer. [laughter from audience] When you perforate your ulcer you're gonna call, and I'm gonna show up, and I'm gonna give you information, real quick. And I'm the expert, I'm going to tell you what you need, and 99 percent of the time you're going to believe it. Most of [inaudible] are hurting so bad they have no choice.
But these people are hurting and they have no choice and aren't sure where to look. They're looking to you to make a decision. How do I make those decisions? I pray. I pray on the way in. Any one of you shows up tonight I'm praying on the way in. When I walk in I pray for you. I pray with you. I pray for the team. I ask for guidance.
Fixing your ulcer? Well this is the part [inaudible]. I don't take any responsibility for that, I just put the two sides together. Just little strings anybody can do it, monkeys can do it. [laughter from audience] Monkeys do it in a [inaudible] [laughter from audience]. God heals you. He mends that, in 24 hours it's watertight and won't leak anymore. I take you through those places but I give Him credit. I'm a tool by the Maker.
Look to your Maker. Do what you need to do for the people who have entrusted this to you. Put yourself in their shoes. I don't know how you can put yourself in that woman whose child has to wear a mask yet can't do her physical therapy or her speech therapy. I don't know how you do that decision.
You mandate this across the board, that's a tough place to go. I would suggest, and it's just a suggestion, pray about it. Come real close to God, find out what He wants you to do, and then I would ask you to say, Who does God put in charge of these kids? Their parents, right? God gave each one of these kids to their child, I'm sorry, each one of these kids their parents, and they speak for them. They may be wrong, they may be dumb, they may be imperfect in their decisions, but it's still their responsibility. It's not yours. God gave it to them. Honor their wishes, either side of the fence, and then let them decide if they want to go to school here or not. They'll go to another school in [inaudible] so be it! If they want to stay here and not wear a mask, so be it!
Take care of your people. OK that's why I'm here. God wins.
And a lot of these people don't give their consent. They do not give their consent, it's against the constitution. But that's another story. Thank you.
FEMALE VOICE: Thank you, Dr. Horak.

Minnesota surgeon fired after criticizing mask mandates at school board meeting
A rally was held in support of Dr. Jeff Horak on Monday morning and hundreds of supporters reportedly showed up.
By
Evan Stambaugh, October 26, 2021
"A surgeon for Lake Region Healthcare in Fergus Falls, Minnesota, was recently fired after speaking about mask mandates at a school board meeting. Valley News Live reported Friday that Dr. Jeff Horak was let go from his job not long after giving remarks at a Fergus Falls School Board meeting on Oct. 11. "The explanation I have that was given is that my views and the views of my group were no longer congruent," he told the station. Dr. Horak, a 40-year veteran of the medical field, said his employer presented him with two options: resign voluntarily or be fired. He did not choose to resign and was thus fired. “We live in America where freedoms are held close. I am a man who believes individuals have the right to do their research and decide what is best for them and their children when it comes to their health. I don’t believe governments or institutions should dictate that. It’s a position I’ve always taken. And when the science doesn’t make sense it’s hard for me to go along,” Horak said in a statement on Facebook."
I've commented on this fear thing before. To be afraid of death is to be disconnected from life. Life must end in order for life to continue. To fear the absolutely inevitable, necessary and natural end is, as Spock would say, illogical. If you believe in God, and have been a good person, what's to fear? If you don't believe in God, then it's simple oblivion and what's wrong with that? The best one can do is to make sure your house is "in order" with backup plans for those left behind.
Go rock climbing. Go run a river. Go skiing. Go skydiving. Don't be content with the comfortable.
I have written many times about how we fear the wrong things. My favorite example is a gal who delivered a lecture on the dangers of cell phone radiation. When she left, she lit a cigarette and drove off at high speed without a seat belt.
I wrote about this many months ago on how they play the fear and lie card to distract the public from learning the truth https://johnseaman.substack.com/p/lies-and-fear-lead-to-more-lies glad your article verifies what in wrote hopefully our articles will awaken the sheep to see there being played as the fools
Fear of misogyny is the reason everyone pretends men and women are the same, but it's resulted in advocacy for equality of outcome (without any sort of discussion lacking histrionics), and that's turning me into a misogynist.
Unhinged reactions to fear result in the fears coming true... Like the monster in "It". I suspect the same thing will come to pass for the government that censors us.
Great article- one other point - all of the media figured out they get more eyeballs (and thus money) with fear porn every night instead of what’s actually happening
Bill, firstly, that's a great image you chose for the cover. I'm stealing it! Some initial thoughts:
Part of the fear/death hoax is how they re-defined it as being the absolute end of it (mortality). [For one, that helps them sell more meds and products throughout peoples' lives (commercial component).] In other words, they've done their utmost best to remove the notion of immortality of the Judeo-Christian belief that after our body dies, the soul will live on, for it is God's will (spiritual component). Just like everything else, it's a multi-pronged attack. Alan Watts touched upon this in some of his talks and is definitely worth a listen.
Let me ponder your article more for additional thoughts. Love your writing.
Thank you for this post. Yes! People act, even against their own self interests, out of fear.
You said "But more citizens should probably think about how these people exploited the population’s irrational fear of a respiratory virus to achieve even more immense power and control."
'They' didn't exploit fear, they created it. When I say 'They', I'm talking about what some people call the "Cathedral" (media + academia and sometimes + government). With big tech, they've gotten orders of magnitude better than their campaigns during the War on Terror. Remember getting constantly bombarded with emails back them with the theme that 'muslims are plotting to slit the throats of Americans while you're sleeping' from a well meaning, but delusional distant cousin?
I'll never forget watching a video from the early 90s breakup of the Soviet Union. A journalist was interviewing an older woman and asking about looking forward to freedom. The woman said she was scared to death of it - where would she work if the gov't didn't tell her where. How would she get food, clothing, shelter if the government didn't provide it for her? Watching the exchange shocked me.
I'd like to link that to a recent exchange between a journalist and a current high school student I heard recently. The student was asked what they felt about school closures and mask mandates. The male student said that he didn't like them much because he couldn't see and hang out with his friends, but he thought they were ok because it showed the school and teachers cared about his well-being.
People who aren't brought-up and raised with freedom (like we Gen Xers and older) were don't value it. Freedom is scary to them. And that scares the crap out of me.
On the subject of fear, here is a link to an open letter to the UK prime minister Sunak from Dr Christian Buckland, Chair of the UK Council for Psychotherapy. Well worth a read. Clearly the Western governments especially the US, Canada, Australia, Britain and New Zealand were subjected to psychoterror by their governments.
We DO have an enemy and it’s not our government; it’s the spiritual wickedness in high places that control the leaders of our government. Our real enemy uses fear, lying and accusations to control us. It’s a spiritual battle and has been all along. And unfortunately most people don’t realize that so they try to use the weapons of man which are completely ineffective in waging warfare in the heavenlies. America will lose the battle but God wins in the end. Always.
We've heard the news saying for a long time, "if it bleeds it leads." Fear and Sex are two of the most powerful influences on the human mind.

I've commented on this fear thing before. To be afraid of death is to be disconnected from life. Life must end in order for life to continue. To fear the absolutely inevitable, necessary and natural end is, as Spock would say, illogical. If you believe in God, and have been a good person, what's to fear? If you don't believe in God, then it's simple oblivion and what's wrong with that? The best one can do is to make sure your house is "in order" with backup plans for those left behind.
Go rock climbing. Go run a river. Go skiing. Go skydiving. Don't be content with the comfortable.
I have written many times about how we fear the wrong things. My favorite example is a gal who delivered a lecture on the dangers of cell phone radiation. When she left, she lit a cigarette and drove off at high speed without a seat belt.
I wrote about this many months ago on how they play the fear and lie card to distract the public from learning the truth https://johnseaman.substack.com/p/lies-and-fear-lead-to-more-lies glad your article verifies what in wrote hopefully our articles will awaken the sheep to see there being played as the fools
BEST Stack article read in a long time!! Am saving this to share with “fearful” family members!!
Fear of misogyny is the reason everyone pretends men and women are the same, but it's resulted in advocacy for equality of outcome (without any sort of discussion lacking histrionics), and that's turning me into a misogynist.
Unhinged reactions to fear result in the fears coming true... Like the monster in "It". I suspect the same thing will come to pass for the government that censors us.
Great article- one other point - all of the media figured out they get more eyeballs (and thus money) with fear porn every night instead of what’s actually happening
The letters of the word fear spell out, False Evidence Appearing Real.
Bill, firstly, that's a great image you chose for the cover. I'm stealing it! Some initial thoughts:
Part of the fear/death hoax is how they re-defined it as being the absolute end of it (mortality). [For one, that helps them sell more meds and products throughout peoples' lives (commercial component).] In other words, they've done their utmost best to remove the notion of immortality of the Judeo-Christian belief that after our body dies, the soul will live on, for it is God's will (spiritual component). Just like everything else, it's a multi-pronged attack. Alan Watts touched upon this in some of his talks and is definitely worth a listen.
Let me ponder your article more for additional thoughts. Love your writing.
Thank you for this post. Yes! People act, even against their own self interests, out of fear.
You said "But more citizens should probably think about how these people exploited the population’s irrational fear of a respiratory virus to achieve even more immense power and control."
'They' didn't exploit fear, they created it. When I say 'They', I'm talking about what some people call the "Cathedral" (media + academia and sometimes + government). With big tech, they've gotten orders of magnitude better than their campaigns during the War on Terror. Remember getting constantly bombarded with emails back them with the theme that 'muslims are plotting to slit the throats of Americans while you're sleeping' from a well meaning, but delusional distant cousin?
I'll never forget watching a video from the early 90s breakup of the Soviet Union. A journalist was interviewing an older woman and asking about looking forward to freedom. The woman said she was scared to death of it - where would she work if the gov't didn't tell her where. How would she get food, clothing, shelter if the government didn't provide it for her? Watching the exchange shocked me.
I'd like to link that to a recent exchange between a journalist and a current high school student I heard recently. The student was asked what they felt about school closures and mask mandates. The male student said that he didn't like them much because he couldn't see and hang out with his friends, but he thought they were ok because it showed the school and teachers cared about his well-being.
People who aren't brought-up and raised with freedom (like we Gen Xers and older) were don't value it. Freedom is scary to them. And that scares the crap out of me.
On the subject of fear, here is a link to an open letter to the UK prime minister Sunak from Dr Christian Buckland, Chair of the UK Council for Psychotherapy. Well worth a read. Clearly the Western governments especially the US, Canada, Australia, Britain and New Zealand were subjected to psychoterror by their governments.

We DO have an enemy and it’s not our government; it’s the spiritual wickedness in high places that control the leaders of our government. Our real enemy uses fear, lying and accusations to control us. It’s a spiritual battle and has been all along. And unfortunately most people don’t realize that so they try to use the weapons of man which are completely ineffective in waging warfare in the heavenlies. America will lose the battle but God wins in the end. Always.
Bill is right on target! Fear instilled through mass propaganda and draconian big government keeps the 80 percent inline.
