The Return of Fear Porn: Are We Ready for a Manufactured Pandemic?

January 14th, 2025

It’s rather sad to begin the new year with a dire prediction, especially when we all wished one another a Happy New Year a few weeks ago. Wishing one another well and expecting good things to come is forward-looking, positive thinking. However, we have already been through this when we all wished one another the best in 2020, the worst year in our lives. COVID-19 caught everyone by surprise.

It would be redundant to discuss the past since the memories of the lockdowns are still fresh in our minds. How can anyone forget what the corrupt health authorities and government officials put us through? I will never forget nor forgive.

Today, we face another outbreak, perhaps a mixture of viruses spliced together in a bio-lab and released into the public for political and monetary gain. It was in 2023 when I began telling my friends and family to prepare for another pandemic. Some laughed at me and called me crazy. I even wrote about it in my latest book, UNPLUGGED: Psychedelics, Farming and Crypto, the Three Pillars of Freedom, published on April 15th, 2024. I warned my reader about the new pandemic in the making.

Whatever they call it this time—bird flu, Disease X, or any other fancy name for the mixture of spliced-up viruses—it does not matter. I was telling my friends that the deep state would try to hit Trump with another pandemic before or after the inauguration.

Meanwhile, as the political elite fights for power, Big Pharma’s vaccine manufacturing and sales expect another boom. It seems like a psychological manipulation on a massive scale, proving to be the best business model. Unethical and sinister, and yet quite lucrative.

The adoption of psychological manipulation and the promotion of fear of infectious disease as a marketing strategy is an evil but brilliant idea. If people are scared, they will take the shots, even if these shots prove deadly. It’s just a nature of fear that deactivates rational thinking. An outbreak of the fear porn and the epidemic of testing are ahead as the mainstream media begins the new hype.

Let’s take a moment to explain the term. Fear porn refers to mainstream media content that deliberately instills fears about disaster, disease, and death in people’s minds. If it ever was, mainstream media is not in the business of informing and educating the public, as one would assume to be the case. Instead, it’s intentionally trying to panic the public while pushing a narrative. All mainstream media content is paid and scripted. I was told this in person by the people who work for them. After all, who pays for the drug ads you see on TV? Shaping perception is what the media does best, making you believe whatever its owners want you to believe.

If anyone is still there to inform and alert the public, it is the alternative media that is being constantly censored. Fear porn is a technic to alarm people of a perceived threat aggressively. A prolonged propaganda campaign of fear creates anxiety that leads to a specific psychological outcome: submission and an acceptance of the solution to the problem. Keeping people in a state of fear and panic allows for draconian mandates and medical procedures to be implemented against people’s will. This unethical, psychologically damaging marketing strategy that persuades, coerces, and terrorizes is illegal under terrorism Laws:

Intimidation or coercion of civilians and influencing government policy by coercion or intimidation.

Why have the media outlets and the health authorities not been charged with terrorism for instilling terror in people’s minds for a prolonged period, a terror that many of us were trying to undo during the COVID-19 psychosis and are still trying to do today?

The same tactic of fear porn is used by the radical left against Trump, instilling fear and driving people mad. But I digress.

To protect yourself from this psychological evil, it’s easy: limit or eliminate your media intake.

What we are about to witness is the repeat of 2020: bio-terrorism and a psychological operation. The medical tyranny and the government corruption have got out of hand.

Hypnotic brainwashing that social engineers have implemented is a well-developed and organized system of mind control. I do not know if that began with MK Ultra, a secretive government program from the 1960th, but I’m sure that it didn’t end there. It has likely evolved into a more refined, undetectable influence maintained via the mainstream media for decades, perhaps turning operatives into news anchors.

As a former ex-cult member, I share a story in my first book, PATH Seeking Truth in a World of Lies, published in 2013. I experienced this firsthand. A cult phenomenon is real and very dangerous. Thousands of cults in the United States ruin millions of lives every year while enriching their cult leaders and the inner circle of enablers.

Just like the people who unquestioningly believe the medical authorities are not different from those who follow religious leaders, cults are no different from one another.

They might use different clothing and words and have their version of truth and Salvation, but they all operate within the same rules and tactics to capture your mind.

During the ongoing healing work in Peru using sacred plants, many people have come to me with the same problem over the years: trying to reclaim their minds from all kinds of ideologies. Helping them see through lies is sometimes challenging but always rewarding. Saving minds from cultic capture is much-needed work. At least I’ll have something to show on my resume when Judgment Day arrives at the end of my journey through space and time. Hopefully, this will outweigh the wrongdoing and the mistakes of the youth.

Brainwashing is a tool of manipulation of consciousness, an ability to implant and maintain certain beliefs in a person or masses.

But believing a narrative that is neither constructive nor productive, and in many cases harmful and destructive, is impossible without strong influences to which we are constantly exposed. In the cults, this role is played by the cult leaders. In the world – by the mainstream media. The COVID hysteria wouldn’t be possible if we weren’t put in front of the TV while being under house arrest for committing no crimes. It’s how they fed us the fear propaganda to force us into taking vaccines, then boosters, that were killing young and healthy while the virus was targeting the old and sick.

We know what happened, and this might happen again. The bio-terrorists, wearing nice suits, will do anything to retain power and avoid prosecution for the crimes committed in previous years.

A new pandemic is a rebranded old pandemic. With some modifications, they will roll it out in the same way, showing scary images from China as people dropping dead on the streets and overwhelmed hospitals. The hype will take a few weeks to get out of proportion, scaring people again into submission. Masks, nasal invasion through PCR tests, social distancing, and lockdowns are on the table as the TV doctors memorize their scripts. In the end, it’s all politics and dirty business.

The fraud and corruption that penetrated the medical and political systems have reached a point of no return. The loss of public trust in the government is too profound for a mild correction. It needs a purge. The corruption must be removed like a tumor. Will Trump become the greatest surgeon to remove the cancer and drain the swamp? It remains to be seen. Meanwhile, hopes remain high.

I hope you find this article helpful and empowering. It should mentally prepare you for the possible outbreak of another Frankenvirus, a creature of the gain-of-function research, regardless of whether they call it Bird Flu, disease X, or whatever else. We know this is a man-made virus or a combination of viruses deliberately released into the public for political and monetary gains. Congress should begin a criminal investigation.

Whatever you do to protect yourself and your family from the virus, remember that protecting yourself from the fear porn is just as important. Use your judgment.

If we ever meet in person, I could help you develop mental immunity to fear. However, using words, I can only do so much.

Stay calm, stay safe, stay healthy. I believe humanity wins in the end.
