Eng: SOTT Links study is a collection of search results on the English version of SOTT, with many terms and references to articles. See also: SOTT links study part 2: M-Z

What does it take to wake up to realize that we are often being lied to by governements, medias, and authorities. I asked a couple of friends and one suggested it was a result of programming over a long time. In many cases we can use training and influencing. That is the way most of us learn to speak our native language and how to behave in the societies we live in. In due course we also adopt beliefs and opinions that reflects what is expected of us. Much is of course useful, but persisting in taking lies for truth does not help.

Using the SOTT search engine to find articles
Motivated by a question about waking up, I chose "awakening":and entered it into the SOTT articles search engine, like this:

This will give a number of results:

To refine the search, one can click the wheel to the right of "Search Results", to open SuperSearch:

One enters the same word as before, but can now select if the search is to take place within Titles, Author, Source, Summary, Text, Comment, or Location. In the field to the right one can select between Match any words, Match all words or Match exact phrase. Trying this approach and selecting "Titles" and "Match any word" gave:

In this result, there were 44 articles with 10 previews showing per page. To copy a link for the search one can press the copy symbol to the left of the the number of articles, With this link, one can access the search result anytime, but the number may increase, in case new articles fulfil the search criteria.

The format using the SuperSearch function was to begin with a word, and then refine using different field descriptions:
Title: # articles
Summary: # articles
Text: # articles
Comment: # articles
Title and summary: # articles
Title, summary and text: # articles
In this way looking for "Awakening" gave the following number of articles and search links at the time the study was carried out which was late 2022-early 2023.

How to correct faulty links
Above, I included the text to enter into the search field. With this knowledge, you will be able to correct a link that does not lead to the desired results. For instance, I have more than once found a link that did not show what I wanted it to show. The error happened, when a link was improperly copied, so I ended up pasting the same link twice. However most of the links should be working as intended.

When the text hides the search word, look in the source text for the article
The number of hits may for all field descriptions except "Title" include some where there are no visible mention of the word. This riddle can be resolved by displaying the source code and then make a search for the word. If this procedure is unfamiliar, to view the source code of a page, one can in Windows use the shortcut Ctrl+U. After that follow with Ctrl + F to open the search field for the page and enter the search word. The search function should then go to the place in the source code where the word is hiding. In case there are two words in the search, just enter one of them in the source text search, as the number of possible combinations usually is very limited.
An alternative to a search in the source text is to hold the mouse over the hyperlinks, as a pop-up will then show the underlying text of the link. This approach works well if the number of hyperlinks is small, or the text is short.

Examples of results that mention awakening in their title.
A search word and link does not show how a concept is used, To make a search result more meaningful, below a search word and links, there are one or more examples:
The Don Cherry-Jess Allen double standard is awakening Canada's silent majority
Society is made of narratives - Realizing this is one step to awakening from The Matrix
Dabrowski's Theory of Positive Disintegration: The awakening of self-awareness
Is Vladimir Putin an agent of the awakening?
VIDEO: The five stages of the awakening
Awakening Within a Network of Mutuality
2012 - Collective Awakening or End of the World?

Next are three examples, where there are two words. In such instances one has to choose between "Match exact phrase" , "Match any words" or "Match all words". The following example used "Match exact phrase" in Supersearch and returned these results:

Free will, the choice is ours
The idea of waking up is alright, but all may not agree over "to what". if for instance someone expects me to wake up to a flat earth or to accecpt a no virus theory, then I choose to disagree. More generally, we can accept or resist an invitation from someone else for us to acknowledge or accept their particular point of view, the same goes for the people we interact with. Here are some articles that discuss the topic of free will:

A comment on the choice of search items and the examples of articles where the words, concepts or expressions are used
Some may disagree with the selection of search words, the arguments promoted by the numerous authors behind the thousands of articles, and of course with the limited selection of examples of which some appear more than once because the contain more than one of the words or concept included in the search. On the other hand, even people with whom we would disagree with most of the time might find something they would agree with.

Search words A-M
Below are a number of words that like keyholes can give us insight into the world we live in. For a few, I have inserted quotes that include the key words in a context or short comments, for others there are just the examples. For many, I have chosen examples where a topic appears both in title, summary and text, but that is not always possible, especially when a search word is not much used. Note that the search items below for the most part only cover until the letter M for the remaining words see: SOTT links study part 2: M-Z

Agenda
There are many types of agendas with some being restricted to how a person uses his or her time, but some agendas can have political, military or economic consequenses that influence the course of history and the development of society:

5th-gen warfare terms and tactics where there is:

Controlled opposition, disruptors and chaos agents. Historically, these tactics involve a protest movement that is actually being led by government agents. Nearly all governments in history have employed this technique to trick and subdue their adversaries. However, in 5th-Gen warfare, controlled opposition often may come in the form of disruptors and chaos agents. Either "real" people or bots that generate outrageous claims that delegitimize a movement (examples currently may (or may not be); "snake venom in the water" or "everyone is going to die who took the vaccine within two years". Another tactic is placing agents of chaos whose job is to basically disrupt organizations and events. This may also come in the form of "reporters" who assert fake or highly exaggerated news stories, and who most likely are funded by the opposition. "Undermine the order from the shadows " is the tactic here.

"The Lobby - USA": Watch the film the Israel lobby has tried to suppress - UPDATE: Parts 3 & 4 released

In the undercover footage, the fellows admit to Tony that what they are doing is "astroturfing" - a term for fake grassroots activism orchestrated or paid for by an interest group.

Al Jazeera's censored documentary on 'The Lobby': A lesson in pro-Israel fake activism

Which brings me to the one short segment in the entire document that made me smile, the comedic and failed astroturfing "protest" where the recruited students were clearly uncomfortable with the activity they had been paid to engage in, namely disrupt the SJP conference at George Mason University. ("Astroturfing" is "fake grassroots" activism, which relies on paid protesters or supporters). We are shown the astroturf students repeating after Yael Lerman Mazar, StandWithUs director of academic affairs: "SJP is a hate group, BDS [Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions] is a hate movement," but the lack of conviction is painful, almost pathetic, when the fakes come face to face with the real grassroots, the student organizers with SJP.

Leaked Al Jazeera footage exposes US Israel lobby astroturfing pro-Palestinian student event

The Grayzone Project's Max Blumenthal released a new segment Tuesday, revealing that US think tanks arranged a fake protest to disrupt a Students for Palestine national conference in 2016. The practice is known as astroturfing and aims to create an illusion of dissent where there is none, in turn creating press coverage to further the agenda of the perpetrators.

Authoritarianism
The Wiki explains:

Authoritarianism is a political system characterized by the rejection of political plurality, the use of strong central power to preserve the political status quo, and reductions in the rule of law, separation of powers, and democratic voting.

"I don't understand how the governments of some countries, the US president, for example, have such a selfish and conceited mindset. Every administration should think of humanity in the first place and respect nation's identity, equality of states," Morales said.

IN GOD WE DISTRUST: Will America's embrace of atheism be the death of us all? [In summary.]:

Although America's purported devotion to God may be a tad overblown, the roots of religion in US politics date back to its very founding. In fact, the creation of the United States was considered to be such an extraordinary event that the Founding Fathers - fiercely devout Christians all of them - were often carried away with religious conceit.

Dostoevsky's thoughtful critique of the Left - still relevant! [In summary.]:

n his great if overlong book The Devils, the Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky weaves a black comedy about a group of radicals who want to take over a small Russian town as a stepping stone to a general revolution. Most of them parrot various platitudes about how their coming utopia will be best for everyone, expressing universal compassion and sympathy for the poor and dispossessed. But in their personal behavior, none of these conceits bear out. In their meetings, the radicals are vain, overestimate their abilities, and constantly seek to one up one another. Far from really believing in equality, each radical tries to outdo the others with their affectations about how much they care or by developing ever more radical "systems" to prove their genius.

Washington and much of the Western world live in state of cognitive dissonance

The massive deaths, destruction of towns, cities, infrastructure, the maiming, physical and mental, the dislocation that has sent millions of refugees fleeing Washington's wars to overrun Europe, where governments consist of a collection of idiot stooges who supported Washington's massive war crimes in the Middle East and North Africa, produced no outcry comparable to Trump's immigration policy.

How can it be that Americans can see inhumanity in the separation of families in immigration enforcement but not in the massive war crimes committed against peoples in eight countries? Are we experiencing a mass psychosis form of cognitive dissonance?

Television news and mind control through cognitive dissonance

The top chiefs of news — and top propaganda operatives — anticipate cognitive dissonance. In a real sense, they want it to happen. They make it happen. Over and over.

Why?

Because it throws the viewer into a tailspin. And in that mental state, in his effort to resolve the contradiction, he will normally choose to...give in. Surrender. Believe in the anchor. It's the easier path.

The viewer will even doubt his own perception. "I see no good reason for Building 7 to collapse, but the news doesn't bring that up, so...it must be me."

Origins and definition

Gaslighting is a term used in psychology and common speech that refers to manipulation whose purpose is to create doubt in a person or a group of people. It includes but is not limited to denial, lying, deflection, and contradiction to make the target question their perception of reality.

The term gaslighting originates from a 1938 stage play and its later film adaptations (1940 and 1944). It has been used colloquially since the 1960s. In the story, the husband tries to convince his wife and other people that she is insane. He is doing so by manipulating certain elements of their environment and by continuously insisting that she doesn't remember things correctly and that she's delusional when she notices the changes he made.

The title comes from the husband dimming the gas lights in the house and then denying that there was a change in illumination when his wife notices a difference.

Adrastia: The Goddess and cosmic law that punishes arrogance and hubris

The idea of Fortune or Fate as the arbiter of human destiny persisted for many centuries; we could even argue that the Catholic Church, through the writings of early Church fathers like Augustine, Jerome, Tertullian, simply substituted or imposed a new model on what had already existed before. In the Renaissance, the humanists (especially Petrarch, Machiavelli, and Guicciardini) enthusiastically endorsed the idea of Fortune.

Yet for some reason modern man is uncomfortable with this idea. He likes to believe that he is in total control of his fate. He wants to believe his destiny is in his hands. More importantly, he recoils from any attempt to impose limits on his arrogance, greed, and desires. Anyone writing about the dangers of hubris today is not likely to find himself wildly popular. We live in an age of braggarts, big mouths, preening fools, and arrogant idiots; it is an age where ignorance is lauded and celebrated as wisdom, and the gutter is displayed to the public as something to be emulated. The price for all of this will inevitably be paid.

And this will be the cause of our undoing, if it has not already happened. One cannot just do whatever one wants in life. You do not make your own rules. You are not an emperor unto yourself; you are not an island of your own, isolated from the mainland of humanity. The Greeks of late antiquity had a goddess they called Nemesis, and her function was to deliver punishment to those who were guilty of hubris. She was the punisher of undeserved good fortune, and the chastiser of those who overreached themselves. Her name in Latin was Adrastia. You have probably never heard of her, and this very fact goes a long way to proving my point about the narcissistic streak of our modern culture.

The lengthy statement went on to warn Beijing:
"Not to assist Russia in its war of aggression against Ukraine," "Not to undermine sanctions imposed on Russia" and Not to justify Russia's actions in Ukraine through the use of "information manipulation, disinformation and other means.
"During a press conference on Monday, Chinese Foreign ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian slammed the demands and urged the G7 countries to stop imposing illegal sanctions and provoking other countries and instead focus on other important global and internal issues. Zhao told reporters during a press conference on Monday:
"We call on the G7 countries to truly focus on peace and development throughout the world, to stop applying double or even multiple standards, to stop sending military aircraft and ships to the borders of other countries with or without reason to demonstrate their strength."
Zhao also insisted that the seven nations
"Stop going to other countries to organize 'color revolutions' at every opportunity" and stop imposing sanctions on sovereign countries using "extraterritorial jurisdiction."

South Front: NATO's information ops, Russia bombs U.S. base in Syria, wave of terror shapes EU political landscape (VIDEOS)Information

The beginning of interest in post-Cold War information operations can be traced to the UN intervention in Somalia and the Rwanda Genocide. Relatively honest and direct reporting from these war zones meant that the public opinion of Western countries was a factor that had to be considered by the political classes. Hence the complaining at the time about the so-called "CNN Effect" which forced the politicians to send and/or withdraw troops irrespective of what the elites actually wanted to happen at the time. The early methods of influencing the public opinion by manipulating the media, though reasonably effective, were not enough. We have seen their strengths and limitations during both wars against Iraq, in which the bulk of the media was effectively co-opted through the process of frequent press briefings (featuring no shortage of videos showing NATO bombs unerringly falling toward their obviously evil targets) and later by "embedding" the mostly male reporters in military units, which naturally had the dual effect of stroking their egos and adopting the military's point of view.

Still, in spite of all that, it proved impossible to control the narrative, and the public support for the various US and NATO wars collapsed under the pressure of inconvenient news coming even from mainstream media which clearly maintained a degree of independence. But if you fast-forward a decade, to the current wars in Libya, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Ukraine, and others, it is clear that something has changed. There is one dominant narrative that is being pushed by literally every mainstream media source, irrespective of their ostensible ideological bent. No matter where you turn, you read or hear about Assad's "barrel bombs", Gaddafi's "massacres", or "Russian aggression." These reports invariably represent a point of view that is not only completely one-sided, but also factually wrong, even on the most basic of issues. How did US and NATO manage to achieve such an amazing discipline within the supposedly free and independent Western media?

The most devious form of mainstream fake news: the limited hangout

When necessary, news outlets will do a PARTIAL EXPOSURE of a hidden crime. The assumption is, once the story is published and broadcast, everyone will shake their heads and say, "That's terrible," and move on. The whole thing will be forgotten in a matter of days, as if the whole truth has been revealed. Limited hangout.

From media's point of view, a limited hangout means: "We won't do any further digging. We'll shut down further investigation." Vital questions won't be asked:

Comment: While the above provides some needed common sense and good reasoning to current issues, it also points to the plethora of rhetorical fallacies that individuals - in every sphere of life - often resort to in order to convince others of their position or "truth".

As the article suggests, seeing how such fallacies are employed (especially towards social and political ends) can help empower us to see through the lies and, hopefully, make better decisions for ourselves and those in our care and sphere of influence.

If knowledge is truly power, and if the strength of our being and of our very souls is dependent upon our alignment with Truth and Objective Reality, then we'd do well to re-familiarize ourselves with the ways in which we are lied to on a more or less daily basis.
