If you want to see examples of cognitive dissonance, look out for Substack comments where people didn't believe the Covid psyop but now believe the same shysters, hucksters and carnival barkers pushing the Russia/Ukraine psyop.

Zelenskyy's new media darling status reminds me of how Ahmed Chalabi was feted by the Bush Administration, the neocons, and the American media as an Iraqi patriot and natural choice to lead Iraq in the wake of Saddam. Chalabi was the one who sold the neocons on the idea that American troops would be greeted as liberators and that an American occupation of Iraq would be limited.

Gell-Mann Amnesia effect, as described in Robert Malone's recent Substack. What's more frustrating is people who keep letting themselves be lied to.

It's true, you show the Pizer document to anyone and it's not that it's even real -- they don't care or believe it.

More complex than that.

I believe this is the psychological equivalent of getting DDOS'd.

At this point I'm ready to start comparing computer behavior to this demonstrated behavior.

Agreed, people just don't want to know. I don't think they don't care, it's just more cognitive dissonance.

Very good point on Gell-Mann Amnesia. Hadn't quite considered that.
