Like duh? “Higher narcissism linked to more active role in politics”
Narcissistic people are more active in politics and they like to “broadcast their politics”. Can you spot such people on social media?
Amazing story of an intense, large scale propaganda campaign waged in the U.S. over health care
A detailed expose, by a participant, in a massive, highly coordinated propaganda campaign that trashed Canada’s health care system during discussions about the ACA. Ultimately, the ACA’s first draft was written by the former legal counsel of a health insurance company – who had been hired by Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT) to do just that. In other words, the ACA was, to a large extent, written by the health insurance industry itself. Source: Health insurance whistleblower: I lied to Americans…
An odd social media meltdown, mental health collapse and the perils of trusting anything on social media
There have been a lot of social media activist accounts that convinced and persuaded many to adopt someone’s agenda. These accounts often became the source of media reports – because unverified social media is among the most reliable sources used by professional media outlets (hah hah). In this case, the entire social media persona was 100% fake, and the claims made were also fake. Yet this account persuaded many to support its “cause”.
“Cult tactics – learn how they use mind control”
“Cult programming” refers to the methods used to brain wash targets into unquestioning conformity, to draw them into group membership. They often begin by putting you on a guilt trip – since you are guilty of something, may be wrong think, you can be saved by agreeing to us without question. Lay over that a dose of fear and you soon have compliance.

Social Panic has moved to a new server
On December 18, 2019, my Internet web hosting provider announced they are shutting down in February 2020. I am now in process of relocating my 5 web sites to a new web host (and once this is done, a 6th site located elsewhere will also be relocated).
This post you are reading right now is on the new web host, however, the final appearance of this page and some other key items still need to be updated. These final fixes will occur over the next week or so.
Social media: A tweet that caused a brain seizure
An appalling sick individual sent a flashing GIF pattern to a person with epilepsy, causing an epileptic brain seizure with long term after effects. The true weaponization of social media. The perpetrator is expected to plead guilty to aggravated assault. Sadly, others have used this method to target even more victims. Absolutely disgusting, appalling and sick.
Journalism: How to turn Thanksgiving into an opportunity for political discussions
I never knew – according to journalists we are expected to argue about inequality and victimization at the Thanksgiving holiday. Journalists have even prepared a handy guide detailing how to support the journalists’ own agenda! Who knew (besides journalists) that we are supposed to turn Thanksgiving into an opportunity for propaganda messaging?
Updated: Apparently this entire genre is a coordinated pseudo-news event intended to be shared on social media and get around Facebook’s algorithms that try to limit some news article distribution. It’s based on the pseudo-news event approach of creating a fake “us versus them” narrative. It is, in fact, 21st century click-bait and nothing more.
