Yes, completely agree. You see this with financial services, banks, utilities, councils, parking enforcement... All roads lead to nowhere. They allude to credit agreement, contract, laws, Acts, but in the end, they can't enforce because there is nothing binding, but they do so anyway. It's not the Emperor's new clothes, it's the Emperor's new rules.

Martin, where do articles in medical journals fit when they say a medicine or vaccine is good for you but you can't actually determine that because the actual data from the clinical trials is not made available, where we are given vague (unprovable by us) assertions that the data proved the item "safe and effective"? The data can't be released because it would prove that the item is dangerous, so this is lying, but we are in the position where we cannot go through the article to the data. Where past propaganda that vaccines or approved medicines are safe and effective is used to strengthen the original article's claims and avoid exposure of the data?

We could say this is lying or corruption, and we would be correct. However, the result is that the item gets adopted by doctors who have been programmed in med school or channeled by "Standard of Care" and people are reassured not just by a false claim but a false paradigm about all medicines that are approved by authorities being fine for people to take.

The vague, amorphous, all-encompassing, cloud of the System's overall paradigm is ultimately what lends power to the original article's claim. Where does that situation fit?

There are now a large number of such vague propaganda paradigms that are affecting all of us unless we are very awake and aware. How do we categorize these?
