1/20: Giving people false hopes while leaving the population in a permanent state of fear creates the best possible condition to implement fundamental changes in social and political structures. Knowing these tactics is the key to turn the situation in our favour.

2/20: Measures that are announced as “temporary” are not meant to be cancelled one day. Presumably, the purpose is to reset society through long-term social conditioning. However, changes in the form of measures have to be introduced gradually if they are to be successful.
3/20: Scared people are much more likely to hold firmly to hope - i.e. the government's promise that everything will be sorted out soon and that we will get back to normal. This promise, however, is contingent on conditions: follow the measures and do not question anything.
4/20: The list of measures gets longer and longer. Contrary to the US, they are still being intensified in Europe even though there is no sound scientific basis that would suggest implementing such oppressive conditions.
5/20: It's for your own good, they say, and regardless of economic and societal damages, they just continue what they are doing. In the next tweets, I will provide you with measures that are communicated as 'high hopes' and show why it's pure #COVID-quackery.
6/20: “We need to test everybody.”
Counter position: “Evidence of asymptomatic spread is insufficient to justify mass testing for Covid-19.” https://www.bmj.com/content/371/bmj.m4436/rr-10

7/20: “Everybody should get vaccinated.”

8/20: “Wear a mask - if possible several layers.”
Counter position: “Masks most likely don’t work and might cause adverse effects.”

9/20: “Lockdowns work! We need strict curfews!”
Counter position: “Data shows that lockdowns do not work.”

10/20: “Social isolation is indispensable to avoid the spread of the virus.”
Counter position: “Loneliness is a silent killer. Just stay at home whenever you feel ill.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6615929/

11/20: “We need to close the borders to stop the virus.”
Counter position: “Borders won't stop any virus.” https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-01098-x

12/20: So what’s next? Health passports and movement tracking (if not already done) have been announced. Compulsory vaccination is being discussed, and the constitution in some countries is being adjusted to allow this harsh inference with the human right of integrity.
13/20: Facial recognition is slowly being introduced. It will not be long before our regimes take pleasure in establishing a social credit score system guided by Chinese examples. Currently, however, this is still denied. Let’s hope for the best. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/15/eu-considers-ban-on-ai-for-mass-surveillance-social-credit-scores.html
14/20: What we need to ask now is, “How did we end up with this”? One year ago, physical exercises, a healthy diet, sun exposure, social interactions, and a good economy were indicators of personal prosperity.
15/20: Within months, the global economy was considered secondary, and the definition of “being healthy” was turned upside down. Act like you've got it? My ass!
16/20: Facts also no longer play a role. It’s not the scientific community that’s determining what’s true or false. Nowadays, so-called #FactCheckers serve as the mouthpiece of the establishment. They eventually twist facts any way they want to, as long as it fits the narrative.
17/20: Also, media solely invite and interview ideologically loyal “experts”. The background and possible conflicts of interest of these “experts” usually remain unquestioned. Journalism finishes where political interests begin.
18/20: We have no other choice but to inform people about the situation, knowing that the political urge is to intensify freedom-restricting measures. Whenever restrictions are lifted temporarily, it’s solely to keep the people’s hopes alive.
19/20: In 2014, Hubertus Knabe held a @TEDTalks about the strategy of the East German socialist dictatorship. There parallels to the current global situation are alarmingly great. Internet and big data give the ruling elite even more opportunities to realize their interests.
20/20: Yes, these are dark times, but being aware of the opponents’ tactics is extremely important to winning battles to eventually make the world a better place where peace and prosperity will play the key role.
