Are we being ruled by evil - or are we the perpetuators of that which we seek to avoid?

Reflections on Evilness in Society

Feb 28, 2024

“The line between good and evil is permeable and almost anyone can be induced to cross it when pressured by situational forces.”

― Philip Zimbardo

Lately, we’ve been reflecting on the concept of evilness, particularly how it relates to our current global crises and our fight for sovereignty.

We are living in an existential war between good and evil – and this conflict underlies all major issues we face today. Until we take hold of the evilness that runs rampant in society, we will not find ourselves in any safer or more secure position than we were before each sequential “new” global crisis. There will always be another war, another turmoil, another strife until we begin to take hold of the ranks of evil.

In this substack, we share our reflections on evilness, focusing specifically on the transmission of evilness throughout society – and what we can do about to promote love.

A DISCLAIMER before we begin.
This substack is about reflecting on the evilness that surrounds us – with a particular emphasis on the environmental conditions that facilitate evil. Many readers have been traumatized. Many have looked evil in the face and stared into its eyes. For some, our reflections on evil may be triggering. We understand. Please remember that by reflecting on evil in this way, we are not denying that evil exists. We are not condoning evil or downplaying the trauma it has caused you. We are not asking you to understand evil or for you to forgive those who did you harm. Those are personal decisions for your own healing.

Your experience matters.
You matter.
Our purpose is to step outside our own personal experiences and look at evil behavior from another angle to examine how evil plays a role at a societal level. We challenge the way we think to inspire novel and effective action.

The evilness of inaction.

These reflections sprouted in response to a conversation that arose during a recent, Inspired Hour, a monthly space for freedom leaders to connect. On this particular Inspired Hour, we were joined by Barry Young, the NZ Whistleblower (learn more about his story here) who leaked official data showing the risks of the jab. He shared his story with the group, as we sat around like a clique of old, cherished friends catching up after years of disconnect. Truth is, many of us had never met; but we were bonded together through basic human connection and our support for Barry. Barry is an amazing soul – a true (humble) hero. The meeting was beautiful – people from across the globe, expressing love, and compassion, and wrapping him in a blanket of support.

So, how does this beautiful showing of support lead us to reflect on evilness and hate?

Well, during the Inspired Hour, Barry discussed what led up to his “whistleblowing”. He was not looking to be in the spotlight. He was not looking for fame, or credibility, or any attention at all. He was simply doing his job – and as part of that job, he discovered that the COVID-19 vaccine was killing innocent citizens. The data was right there. All officials had to do was look at it.

So, Barry did what all “good citizens” would do: he reported his findings. He followed the chain of command and proper mechanisms for reporting. He followed the rules. He showed his superiors the data. He discussed this with the appropriate personnel. He acted cautiously and with respect.

Except….
Nobody did anything about it.

People stayed quiet.
They intentionally looked away.
They purposefully ignored the harms.

Officials had the evidence of the vaccine killing innocent people – in their own data - and they chose to ignore it.

During the call, someone characterized this as evil – and most folks on the call agreed. Sometimes evil looks like physical harm and intentional acts. Other times, evil looks like knowing something is wrong and looking the other way. Evil is choosing ignorance over doing what’s right.

To many of us who speak out regularly about societal injustice, it seems perplexing how people can stay quiet in times like these. How can people be faced with the truth and look the other way? Are they just “evil people”?

“Evil People”

The concept of evil is as old as humanity. The term itself can be traced back as far as the 12^th century when philosophers and theologians across cultures grappled to make sense of the dualities in the world. It arose conceptually as a duality to the all-knowing, all-powerful God. With complex roots in various cultural, religious, philosophical, and psychological belief systems, evilness has captured the attention of the most prolific and influential authors and thinkers across history, representing a long-standing infatuation with the dualities of the world:

· Good vs evil;

· Right vs wrong;

· Light vs dark.

Today, most people do not discuss evil as a philosophical construct, but rather an observable trait of other people. Unlike the philosophical debates of the past, in contemporary society, there is a collective understanding of “evil people”.

“Evil” is used to describe people who engage in activities that bring intentional harm, malevolence, or act with extreme immorality. The typical image that comes to mind is the sadistic, cruel, callous, and unemotional sociopath. In clinical terms, we describe this type of person having as antisocial personality traits, a personality disturbance often characterized by a pervasive pattern of disregard for others and the consequences of their actions.

Interestingly, there are two sectors of society where antisociality is most prevalent: 1. Gang members and prisoners – i.e., those at the bottom of the social hierarchy – and 2. CEOs of high-ranking businesses and similar high-powered individuals – i.e., the globalists at the top. Success and the acquisition of power in such environments often stem from a deliberate disregard for others' rights. Those who thrive in these environments may get there through the exploitation of others. Their desire for self-gain is used to justify their evil (or otherwise maleficent) acts.

Fortunately, this level of evilness exists in a small proportion of the population. They are the outliers in (some version) of a bell curve of evil behavior.

On the surface, this is refreshing.

We like to believe that the pure “evil” people are a small proportion of the population and that they are fundamentally different from us. We like to believe that evil only exists at the fringes of the population - and those who commit evil are a different type of person.

While it is true that pure antisociality occurs at the fringes, when we look back to the major maladies of the world, the negative impacts and harms cannot only be attributed to the evil few. There is evilness among us that supports the evil few.

A single person may cause direct harm to a few people. But to exert harm at a global scale (such as what we saw during the pandemic), participation of the masses is needed.

Indeed, decades of science on the study of human behavior shows that the impact of evil people is limited – unless average people join in the transmission of their evilness. We can observe the evidence of this throughout history. Time and time again, the evil few exert their impact through the participation of the masses.

Hitler would be nothing without the Nazi.
Epstein would be “just another” child predator without his network.
And… the globalists would have no pandemic without the millions of people who played along.

But, how does this happen?
How do the evil few convince the masses to engage in their evil doings?

Ostensibly, average people are not evil. They are, by definition, average. They are not the evil few. They are not the outliers defined by antisociality. They are not “unlike” us in the ways that evil people are.

Yet, when we examine the past few years what we see is that the evilness observed in society came from average people, engaging in “average, but evil” acts:

Average nurses bullied parents and administered the vaccine, just to “follow orders”
Average hospital workers allowed the elderly to die alone, scared in a hospital, just to follow protocol
Community members forced children to mask up, stay home, and fear the world to “keep them safe”
Average friends berated and trolled the internet, wishing death upon the unvaccinated
Average government officials who worked with Barry Young ignored data to “just do their job”.

In retrospect, it is clear that the pandemic had the impact it did – not only from the designs of the evil outliers at the top – but, because average people were willing to participate in the transmission of evil. Average people allowed themselves to be part of it, raising a very critical question: How is it possible for ordinary, average people to become perpetrators of evil? How do good people turn bad?

“They tried to arrest me in Eugene, Oregon for not wearing a mask in a store. People surrounded me screaming at me with the most evil look in their eyes. I was told I was selfish. They wished a painful slow death to me and my children and everyone I loved. They were all like possessed demons. They were vile and dark. I’d never experienced any feeling so wicked in all my life. The scamdemic literally brought on a cult worship so quickly and it was shocking. Being in the PNW during 2020, I was screamed at daily. Still trying to process and get rid of the stored trauma.” – Summer Adams, Mother

Where is the line between good and evil?

Philip Zimbardo, a famed social psychologist, committed his career to the very question of the conditions that promote evil behavior among average people. He was interested in the thin line between good and evil.

In his now infamous 1971 Stanford Prison Experiment, Zimbardo revealed something remarkable: We all hold the potential for evil.

In his experiment, Zimbardo randomized average college students to play either a prisoner or a guard in a 1-2 week simulation study on the effects of prison. Importantly, all participants were aware that the randomization occurred and the prison itself was fake (it was just the basement of Jordan Hall on Stanford’s campus!). The setting was not overly horrific; it resembled a standard prison. Average people placed in a simulated setting and told to play a role.

Everyone was just playing a role.
Everyone knew that everyone was playing a role.

Yet, what happened behind these doors – under the right conditions – was striking! So striking, in fact, that they had to terminate the study after 6 days due to the extreme, pathological behavior and transformations of character that emerged in both prisoners and the guards.

Zimbardo’s studies uncovered what became known as the Lucifer effect, a term used to describe the process of an ordinary person crossing the line between good and evil. Average students with no propensity for antisocial behavior were paid only $15 a day to engage in the study – and within only a few days’ time, they transformed into violent, cruel, and inhumane individuals who inflicted direct harm on the other students in the study. Even Zimbardo, who cast himself as the prison ward, got so caught up in the situational forces that he nearly missed the immorality going on in his own lab! It was dark, horrific, and cruel.

Average students, when put in the right environment, turned evil.
(and it took only a few hours to days).

Excerpts from the study itself illustrate the evilness that arose:

“The guards retaliated by using a fire extinguisher which shot a stream of skin-chilling carbon dioxide, and they forced the prisoners away from the doors. Next, the guards broke into each cell, stripped the prisoners naked and took the beds out.”

“Less than 36 hours into the experiment, Prisoner #8612 began suffering from acute emotional disturbance, disorganized thinking, uncontrollable crying, and rage.”

The study became a classic illustration of situational power to influence individual values, attitudes, perceptions, and behavior. The situational forces of the simulated environment overwhelmed the individuals’ dispositions of the average participants.

The body of work points to one main finding: It is not the type of person we are – but the conditions we are exposed to - that predicts evil behavior.

Environmental conditions can push someone across the line between good and evil. The conditions are known. They are consistent and observable in science. They can be crafted and created in reality. What’s remarkable about these conditions is that they can be so easily integrated into daily life that the average person may not even realize what’s happening! (In fact, this is precisely what we saw during the pandemic!)

Zimbardo sparked a field of research in social psychology on situational forces that underlie evil behavior. His work became a cornerstone for understanding and shaping our prison system – particularly juvenile justice– and was used during the trials of torture at Abu Ghraib. We encourage interested readers to check out this 2015 documentary on Zimbardo’s work. Warning: It’s really worth a watch, but it is not a feel-good movie. Not appropriate for children. Evilness is dark.

Engineering Evil Environments

If they could engineer a simple dormitory basement into a place that promoted such horrid behavior in just a few days – can the environment be replicated in the real world?

There are a lot of adjectives that can be used to describe the globalists who planned the pandemic response. Stupid is not one of them.

The globalists’ approach was not haphazard. They didn’t just act. They didn’t just scream “fire!” in a crowded room. They were planful and strategic. They developed a very sophisticated strategy to optimize success.

They knew that in order to succeed in their mission, they needed the support and cooperation of the populace. They needed average people to turn on each other. They needed average people to transmit their evil.

How they did this wasn’t magic: It was psychology.

Of course, we cannot know for certain their internal plans; however, we cannot help but notice the overlaps between the known environmental conditions that promote evil behavior among average citizens (as delineated by Zimbardo) and the strategies used during the pandemic.

It’s time to do better.

We have spoken in previous substacks about the need for increased sophistication in our approach to fighting for freedom. It doesn’t take much to see that our opposition’s approach has a level of strategy and sophistication far exceeding ours. The globalists had a well-planned and organized approach to action. They operationalized the science of social change, control, and manipulation – and put it into action!

The evil we see around us… it is not happenstance.
It was created.
Intentionally created.
(and it worked).

Feeling discouraged?

Manipulated?

Sometimes, it feels discouraging to see the extent to which we were manipulated. There is an art and science of social control – and our opposition has certainly become a master.

But, hope is not lost.

The purpose of this substack is not to feel discouraged by what has been done; it is to study what has been done so that we can do something about it. Recognition of what was done and how evil was created is the first step to sustainable change for the future.

We must first accept what has happened. We must acknowledge both what was done and how they did it. When we ignore their tactics - or assume they are “just” the evil few -, we run the risk of becoming part of the system we seek to change. We become the darkness that we wish to light.

It's time to transcend ourselves and act with intention to counter the evil. We must do so with the same level of sophistication and strategy that they employed. We must disengage from their tactics. We must ignore their influence. We must insist on our vision of the future.

Only then will their darkness lose its grip.

Zimbardo ultimately abandoned his work on the psychology of evil, trading it for the psychology of heroism. While we could study what made the Nazis follow Hitlers orders, we can also study why certain individuals acted as heroes. We can ask: What was different about the people who stood up to the Nazis and acted in altruistic ways? What makes a person a hero?

In these stressful times, it can be hard to imagine how to create heroes. When all we see is pain and suffering, the idea that we can intentionally create heroes seems foreign. (Or perhaps this is just what we were taught, yet another way to keep evil alive!)

Ultimately, the science is clear: Evilness and Heroism are two sides of the same coin. Just as anyone could slip down the slippery slope of evilness, anyone could become a hero. By taking action and shaping our environment in intentional ways, we can shape a world that nurtures heroism.

Though pure evil may lurk at the fringes of society, it does not necessitate our engagement. We do not have to allow it into society. The power does not lie in the hands of the malevolent few; it resides within us. We can dismantle cycles of manipulation and power by disengagement.

Let us instill heroism in our children.
Let us mold ourselves into heroes.
Let us create environments that support love.

Just as they were deliberate in crafting conditions for their actions, we too can be intentional. We can choose to halt the propagation of evil. The time has come to cease blaming the malevolent few, releasing anger, and redirecting our energy towards acts of love. Let's peer into the mirror, examining how we, knowingly or unknowingly, permit their evil and malevolence to permeate society.

As long as we allow it…
as long as we engage…
we will remain part of the system we are trying to break.

It’s time we step outside ourselves and counter the evil with love.
Only then will their evilness have no effect.

#TheGenevaProject

On 1 June 2024, we Declare Our Independence from the evil forces that have controlled society for decades.

It is time we disengage from that which does not serve us.
It is time we take back our power.
It is time we reclaim our future.

This 27 May - 01 June, the global elites will be flocking to Geneva for World Health Assembly week. They will vote on the IHR amendments. They will plan for global control. They will exert influence and power.

We will also be flooding Geneva.

But we are not arriving in anger.
We are not arriving in fear.

We simply enter with love in our hearts and inspiration for the future. We counter their grey, cold energy with the radiant colors of love. Thousands of mothers, fathers, daughters, sons, friends, and neighbors will flood the streets of Geneva is a statement of hope.

They want us separated for a reason.

They know that when we join together with love and a spirit of hope, then their control and influence disappear. The only power they have is that which we implicitly granted.

#TheGenevaProject represents the end of the era where the people yield to evil forces. It is time for global community to join together and proclaim the future as belonging to the people.

We are no longer waiting for them to shape the world we want to see.

We Are The Change.

We can create a better tomorrow.
It starts with engineering environments that transmit love today.

Join us in Geneva.
