Speaking at the Copenhagen Democracy Summit earlier this month, President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen suggested the audience think of information manipulation as a virus and then said it’s better to vaccinate than treat the infection.
At the Copenhagen Democracy Summit, von der Leyen pontificated that “research has shown that pre-bunking is more successful than de-bunking. Pre-bunking is the opposite of de-bunking. In short, prevention is preferable to cure.”
Pre-bunking is an approach based on the psychological theory of “inoculation,” which suggests that exposing people to weakened doses of misinformation can help them develop “mental antibodies” against false news.
An example of how pre-bunking might be applied is the use of tools such as free online games. In 2020, UK researchers published the results of several studies they had conducted using an “online misinformation game” called ‘Bad News’. For your and your children’s sake, we encourage you to read about the ‘Bad News’ psychological experiments HERE. Also, browse through THIS website to get an indication of how they are trying to gain acceptance of and normalise the use of inoculation theory on populations under the guise of combatting “misinformation.”
The obvious problem with games such as ‘Bad News’ is we cannot know what subliminal messages will be implanted into our subconscious minds while playing them. At what point do such games constitute psychological, behavioural, thought or mind control? The use of coercive and intrusive strategies to psychologically manipulate or brainwash people doesn’t seem to concern von der Leyen, on the contrary, she seems enthusiastic about the idea.
“Think of information manipulation as a virus,” she said. “Instead of treating an infection once it has taken hold, that’s the de-bunking, it is better to vaccinate so that our body is inoculated. Pre-bunking is the same approach. Because disinformation relies on people passing it on to others – it is essential that people know what malign information’s influence is and what the techniques look like.”

Little does von der Leyen realise but most of us know what influence malign information can have and we don’t need their computer games to train us to detect it. There are millions of people dead and millions more injured from state-sanctioned malign information about covid and its “vaccine.” Added to that are the non-pharmaceutical interventions imposed by governments in response to covid that have caused untold harm to physical and mental health, relationships, education, incomes and economies.
The unelected European Commission President is herself guilty of malign information and its influence has been felt all across the European Union.
And perhaps her real campaign is remarks such as those at the recent Copenhagen Democracy Summit – remarks intended to appeal to those in a corrupt establishment who will appoint the next European Commission president. The same people who would also want to silence voices that might expose them and so would view a platform of pre-bunking information as a “must-have” for any candidate hoping to become the next president of the European Commission.

Typical of authoritarians. Wrong think is anything that does not agree with the regime. Essentially a person is prevented from thinking for themselves and becomes a slave to the state.
