Christian Resilience Against Dancing Nurses

Does anybody remember Infocom text adventures? They were early text-only computer games both genre-defining and ranking between hard & sadistic on the difficulty scale. When I was ‘trendy’, it said something about you if you’d earned your “I solved the Babel Fish Puzzle” shirt honestly.

That’s a reference to the “Hitchhiker’s Guide To the Galaxy” Infocom adventure. Another puzzle of the game is that when you checked your character’s inventory, you’d be informed that your character was carrying “no tea”. Later in the game, you could get tea in your inventory. LATER in the game, after carefully removing your character’s common sense, you could drop “no tea”, pick up “tea”, then pick up “no tea”. You then showed a door guard how smart you were by showing him both “tea” and “no tea” that simultaneously existed in your inventory.

Predictive programming at its most absurd!

In an example of life imitating art, our totalitarian overlords today are working hard at encouraging people to hold mutually exclusive ideas in their heads at the same time. Some experts on thought reform/brainwashing believe this is a humiliation tactic. I think instead, they are screening for people who reject common sense in favor of worldly success.

Helpful Steps towards understanding those ‘pandemic’ Hospital Dance Videos

Dancing nurses were never about the morale of healthcare workers or stress relief. They were a test, a sorting mechanism, revealing who would accept the contradictions and who would resist them. These videos on TikTok, which appeared simultaneously across all continents while governments declared medical emergencies, represented something unprecedented in the history of propaganda: the authorities showed that they could make populations accept two mutually exclusive realities at the same time.

What we witnessed was not traditional propaganda aimed at persuasion, but something more akin to what abuse experts recognize as gaslighting on a large scale. The psychological mechanism was elegant in its cruelty: it presented citizens with an apparent contradiction—hospitals that were both overcrowded and empty enough for choreographed routines—and then punished them socially for noticing it. Those who pointed out the inconsistency were labeled “conspiracy theorists,” while those who defended the videos unwittingly became pawns in the operation.

That’s not a fair representation of the lockdowns. Hospitals DID close for non-emergency purposes. There were plenty of articles at the time about doctors so frightened to see patients, or patients too frightened to leave their homes, that many of the initial excess deaths were attributed to delayed medical procedures & maintenance. Properly so, in my estimation.

Therefore, when Dancing Nurses first became a thing, I took it as self-indulgent sarcasm from medical personnel who had no work to do because of the State-declared pandemic.

But then, I was the kind of person who occasionally swung by the local hospital to see… nope… no overflow trailers from the morgue, no spacesuited paramedics disposing of Suddenly corpses with flamethrowers & acid sprayers.

This essay explores how this technique fits into the broader context of psychological warfare described by researchers from Paul Linebarger to Michael Hoffman, from Peter Pomerantsev to Annalee Newitz. It examines how the “revelation of the method“ — which shows the audience the manipulation while remaining powerless to resist it — serves to discourage and fragment resistance.

The dancing-nurses were a test for the distortion of reality. Once populations accepted this initial contradiction, they were prepared for more: masks that worked, except when they didn’t, vaccines that prevented transmission until they stopped preventing it, two weeks to “flatten the curve” that ended up being two years. Each accepted absurdity weakened the public’s ability to trust their own observations.

This is an idea I hear from various sources also, but I must disagree.

Humiliation rituals are a known way to break down resistance to tyranny. The 20th Century saw a lot of this in the infamous camps; a typical example was forcing a Christian to practice Communion with excrement, for example, or to curse Jesus’ Name in return for food.

It worked so long, and only so long, as the subject was kept in a controlled environment. But the Covidians who bought into the Plandemic Narratives, they weren’t in a controlled environment. They knew people who disagreed. There were no beatings if they stepped outside without a paper mask.

The devil is up to something different this time.

Almost four years later, we can see how this enterprise created precedents that persist. The infrastructure of cognitive control—digital identity systems, social credit mechanisms, curation of reality through algorithmic manipulation—continues to expand. But understanding the technique is the first step toward resistance. This essay is an attempt to capture that moment when the masks came off, when power showed its face, dancing in empty hospital corridors while the world sank into panic and manufactured fear.

Social credit, yes, that is what’s different. Algorithmic control. You don’t have to obey the algorithm, but you suffer if you don’t. It’s an opt-in system. One that eats its own, of course; it was never the vaxx-skeptics dropping of Suddenly. You see the problem at hand. How do you convince somebody to volunteer for the violation of their bodies and minds?

The same way you tell any lie, by offering what they want to hear.

1. The performance of power

In March 2020, as governments around the world declared a state of emergency and citizens huddled in their homes awaiting updates on overloaded hospitals, something strange began to appear on social media: choreographed videos of medical staff dancing in seemingly empty hospital corridors. These were not spontaneous celebrations captured on cell phones—they were carefully produced performances, often set to popular music, with synchronized routines performed by groups of nurses and doctors in full personal protective equipment. From Jerusalem to New York, from London to Melbourne, medical professionals performed coordinated dance routines, while the world was told that healthcare systems were facing unprecedented collapse.

The discord was immediate and jarring. Official messages insisted that hospitals were war zones, that medical systems were on the verge of collapse, and that healthcare workers were exhausted heroes barely holding the line against an invisible enemy. News reports showed refrigerated trucks allegedly storing corpses, field hospitals being set up in Central Park, and grim warnings about the distribution of ventilators. At the same time, however, these same hospitals were producing what amounted to music videos—not one or two, but hundreds, appearing with suspicious timing around the world.

Normie saw two stories. One was the end of the world, the other was the supposedly overworked heroes throwing a party with all their free time. Both cannot be true at the same.

This author claims that that’s a humiliation ritual. I claim it’s simply a choice of lies. Believe what you want, and take advantage of all the “facts” offered for supporting it. The situation here is not coercion to believe two opposed things at once, it’s believing whichever Narrative is most desirable to you.

Which is the definitive behavior of a deceiver.

They aren’t brainwashing us this time. They’re recruiting us.

The Rockefeller Foundation’s 2010 “Operation Lock Step“ scenario envisioned a pandemic that would lead to authoritarian control through citizen compliance with emergency measures. The document described how “citizens willingly cede some of their sovereignty—and privacy—to more paternalistic states in exchange for greater security and stability.”

Standard Hegelian dialectic. Nothing new.

This technique seems to draw inspiration from what Michael Hoffman calls “method disclosure“ — the practice of cryptocracy revealing its activities in plain sight, knowing that public inaction in the face of such a revelation produces a discouraging effect. The message becomes: “We can show you the contradiction between our words and our actions, and you will do nothing. You will accept both the lie and the evidence of it.” It is a form of ritual humiliation that works not through concealment, but through unabashed display.

That simply cannot work. Nobody voluntarily believes in a lie beyond the “haha, we lied to you, you fat chump!” point.

What we’re seeing is 1. people believing what they want from a buffet of competing lies, and 2. being motivated by desire to belong and be safe. Social belonging and safety having been weaponized by immivasion and feminism, respectively.

2. The architecture of humiliation

The concept of ritual humiliation in psychological warfare operates on a principle that predates modern propaganda: forcing the subjugated to participate in their own degradation. Ancient conquerors understood this when they made defeated peoples crawl under yokes or bow down to their victors. The dancing nurses represented a refined evolution of this technique—not the humiliation of healthcare workers themselves, but rather of the audience that was forced to watch and accept the spectacle.

Actually yes, it would have to be the healthcare workers themselves, for this to be a thought reform tactic. Author was right the first time with that verb “participate”. By contrast, the viewers of dancing-nurse videos were passive. They were safe in their homes, able to choose what to believe, no prison guards waving truncheons.

There was no humiliation of those viewers. They CHOSE to believe.

3. Bonding with trauma

The phenomenon of the dancing nurses operated within a broader psychological context, similar to what trauma experts recognize as trauma bonding — the strong emotional bonds that form between abusers and victims through cycles of threat and relief.

Stockholm syndrome is badly overhyped.

This dynamic mirrors what Joost Meerloo described in “The Rape of the Mind“ regarding the systematic destruction of independent thought. He observed that totalitarian systems do not simply impose their ideology through violence. They create conditions where the mind seeks refuge in accepting contradictions rather than enduring the psychological tension of resistance. The dancing nurses created precisely this kind of double bind: either reject them and be labeled a dangerous conspiracy theorist who dishonors heroes, or accept them and surrender your ability to recognize obvious contradictions.

This paragraph is completely off the plot. The stressor was the Covidian, not the State. All we dissidents wanted was to go play outside. The Covidians went out of their way to enforce the State’s desires. They were NOT seeking the cognitive path of least resistance, which would have been to let us walk the wrong way down the grocery aisles in peace.

Meerloo is one of the few authors cited here whose work I’ve read directly. He used a lot of evolutionary psychology.

This level of coordination in many hospitals worldwide suggests institutional support, if not direct instruction. The message embedded in this production value was itself part of the operation: “We have the resources and the authority to make this happen, everywhere, simultaneously.”

I doubt the dancing nurses videos were planned at all. Remember the masking was spontaneous! Masking was an East Asian behavior, partly motivated by (in my opinion) Confucian shame principles, and also because some of their cities produce enough soot that face masks can actually help. (I can still remember when Los Angeles made respirators sound like a good idea.) Insecure American women saw the East Asians masking up and coopted the behavior as a comforting ritual. Even Fauci infamously said masks didn’t work, a month before he decided to say they did.

The dancing nurses happened because the lockdowns were the first vacations that many people had taken in years. A chance to goof off, whether on or off the clock. Some people were Covidian simply for an excuse to get paid for doing nothing. I remember one school administrator got busted “extending the lockdowns for our safety” from a Caribbean beach on full, union salary.

The Plandemic was the best thing to happen to a lot of people. Paid vacations! Power trips! Micromanagement by authority figures! GOVERNMENT PERMISSION TO HATE YOUR NEIGHBOR, IS AN ADDICTIVE DRUG.

You want to see a totalitarian cognitive manipulation of your brain? Notice when the State gives you permission to hate somebody. Muslims are a favorite these days, now that the Jews want to build up their “Christian Nationalist” skinsuit. Yes, I want the Muslims gone too. No, I don’t want them dead, nor are they the true threat.

For example. Just a couple days ago, President Trump threatened (Muslim) Nigeria with sanctions and military invasion if they didn’t stop harming Christians! Yay! One might wonder why Trump cares about Nigerian Christians now, and not Gazan Christians over the last two years. Answer is, he still doesn’t care, but championing a MAGAtard cause helps them continue believing he’s their Savior.

It’s the Dancing Nurses situation. Is Trump pro-Christian or anti-Christian? It’s whatever you want to believe! Unless you believe those pictures of him touching a wall, and then you aren’t confused by his apparently contradictory behavior.

4. The technology of deception

The dancing nurses represented a new development in what Annalee Newitz calls “weaponized narratives” — stories designed not to inform or persuade, but to destabilize and discourage. But these were not traditional narratives with a beginning, middle, and end. They were fragments of meaning, delivered through the surreal medium of social media, designed to bypass rational analysis and strike directly at psychological foundations. The platform itself—primarily TikTok—was an integral part of the operation, with its algorithm ensuring maximum penetration and its format discouraging critical thinking.

This is consistent with my theory, not theirs. The old totalitarian had one lie that everybody had to believe. The new totalitarian spews endless lies, enough to create a buffet. The cost of that buffet, however, is that the State cannot enforce the One True Narrative upon society.

I think this is where AI comes into the picture, as a tool for pushing people deeper into their favorite delusions. It’s even being documented already, as the misnomer “AI psychosis”. AI isn’t trying to make us believe any one thing. It’s trying to help us believe anything but the truth.

The true religion of Satan is ABC. Anything But Christ.

Consider how these videos proliferated. They did not originate from a single source that could be challenged. They appeared simultaneously on multiple platforms, from multiple hospitals, in multiple countries, creating what information analysts call “source laundering“ — when the origin of an operation becomes impossible to trace because it appears everywhere at once.

Had all the videos come from a single studio, the source would have been identified regardless. There are limits to what the memory hole can accomplish.

5. The fog of unreality

The dancing nurses ultimately served as a “drug“ in what would become an ongoing campaign of reality distortion. Once the populations accepted this initial contradiction, emergency and entertainment at the same time, they were prepared for greater violations of logic. Masks were imposed on people walking alone on beaches, while mass protests were considered safe. Deadly viruses respected the arbitrary two-meter distances and seating arrangements in restaurants. Vaccines that did not prevent infection or transmission, but were imposed for the “protection of others.” Each accepted absurdity made the next one easier to swallow.

No, no, no. The reasons for all that have nothing to do with breaking peoples’ minds. Mass protests were exempted because the State doesn’t target the State. Movement restrictions are standard lockdown protocols; note that “lockdown” is a prison term not a medical term. And the vaccines were rolled out worldwide so quickly, it’s plainly obvious their manufacture had begun a long time prior to the gaslighting reaching “that” level.

It’s not brainwashing when you’re free to call bullshit!

This article completely misses the purpose of all these tyrannies, of WHY the State twists with our minds. It is not mere social experimentation, or the simple pleasures of sadism. It is religious worship of the devil, which can be spread by either coercion or invitation. But society is so de-Christianized that even when it tries to understand, it cannot proceed from description to prescription.

We Christians can.

I don’t say that to invoke Christ as a magic spell. The basic beliefs of Christianity are sufficient to resist lies even when the Big Guy doesn’t show up. Only when you understand the spiritual conflict underlying the material conflict, does the relentless ((totalitarian)) assault upon humanity and Truth become clear. Only then do the social experiments at twisting us away from fatherhood and hardwired human nature make sense. There’s no need for Jesus to actually show up, for us to see plainly why the sociopaths… inexplicably calling the shots these days, unless one notices the sudden, simultaneous and global collapse of the organized Church… are offering us endless, endless lies. They hate the truth.

Many of the contradictions are simply because the real events, the real players, are not as we are shown.

Christianity also gives a reason for why we endure. Why we suffer for the Truth instead of enjoying whichever camp of Lies takes our fancy. This is what truly undermines peoples’ ability to hold onto the truth, they don’t have a reason to hold onto the truth. With no hope beyond death, a man’s priorities twist from what is eternally correct, to what is momentarily beneficial.

Those who orchestrated this operation understood something fundamental about human psychology: people will choose meaning over truth when forced to choose. Faced with the choice between admitting they had been deceived (and thus facing the terrifying implications for their institutions) or constructing elaborate excuses for the obvious contradictions, most chose the latter. The videos of dancing nurses became a test of how much reality could be distorted before it broke down—and the answer was “much more than anyone could have imagined.”

People choose meaning over truth when they prefer it over truth. The Plandemic could not have succeeded without the preceding heavy feminization of society, not to mention the wholesale extermination of fatherhood, and it was itself a hysterically driven event… made worse by the undermining of society’s ability to resist, by the undermining of society’s freedom to associate.

Indeed, I am struck by how many Covidians STILL refuse to admit they did anything wrong. It’s not fear or stress locking them into that mindset. It’s a shameless lack of repentance, so they’re going to do it again in 2030, having learned nothing and forgotten nothing.

We aren’t dealing with thumbscrews and jackbooted thugs anymore. We’re dealing with people not wanting the truth because it’s not desirable to them. Seek pleasure, avoid pain… a calculus that the Cross flips upside down.
