So, what is really going on right now? What is the truth? Whilst BoJo and his team of co-conspirators look to dismantle the NHS and crash it during a plague. As he and his cronies have said “let the bodies pile high” and then gaslight us with repeating failed concepts; experimenting with the immunity of the heard. Using a metaphor that leaves the British public framed as not just animals and beasts but ones that are tamed, controlled and devoured by their masters. It is clear they have one thing on their agenda: the economy.

How the British Government is gaslighting the People

In this episode in the mini-series, we are going to look into the stories we tell ourselves and we tell the world about ourselves. In order to understand them because if we understand them then we can define and decide if they are working for us. If we do this for ourselves it can then help us to be able to see, hear and sense the stories others are presenting to us and to the world, because we have learnt how they present in ourselves.

Reading stories; in ourselves and others

Why Behavioural Communication Analysis and Metacognitive Training? And what is it? I am sure you will love Behavioural Communication Analysis and Metacognitive Training once you have learned how to apply it.  But firstly, let me make this completely clear. Behavioural Communication Analysis, in the framing I have established here, is not an academic study, theory or discipline. I am aware that with academia that it is a growing field of interest, especially in the field of behavioural linguistics which I am particularly interested in, but this is not connected with the discussions here.  Behavioural Communication Analysis, from the standpoint I frame it, is a tool to help you to make sense of the wide range bombardment of information that comes at us on a daily, weekly and monthly basis, the majority of which is digital and most of it using words either auditorily, written or through the use of metaphor. By learning these techniques and applying them they will eventually just become part of your DNA and because you take the effort of seeing the world through a new set of eyes and ears you will soon be experiencing it in a completely different way.

<h3>Tackling Information Operations, Propaganda and Dark Advertising: It’s not all Fake News</h3>The issue is that focusing on &#34;&#34;fake news&#34;&#34; alone distracts from the broader narratives propagated by Information Operations around the world. Yes, it is an issue, and it has been used by many &#34;bad actors&#34;&#34; to make false claims, promote agendas and distract from the truth. Some of these by &#34;rogue states&#34; or as acts of cyber warfare, but only going after and chasing &#34;fake news&#34; misses out the tackling of content, narratives and whilst not necessarily fake promote disruptive agendas.

We all see, hear and experience daily how the world has changed. The art of debate seems to have been lost for the art of the war of words. People don’t seem to listen to one another, and they instead bombard people of the opposing view with why they are wrong. Whether it be politics, religion or world view people appear to be fixed in their view and opinion and unwilling to listen or understand the opposing view.  So maybe we have to take a different approach and instead of attacking someones beliefs, listen to them and talk to them on the basis of their values.
