It is possible that you may not have heard of psychologist Stanley Milgram’s famous experiment. Milgram’s [experiments](https://www.amazon.com/Obedience-Authority-Experimental-Perennial-Thought/dp/006176521X/ref=sr%5F1%5F1?crid=OSBJTA1IXZR5&keywords=stanley+milgram&qid=1690296342&s=books&sprefix=stanley+milgram%2Cstripbooks%2C97&sr=1-1&ref=goodoil.news) on obedience to authority always had a political undertone, which he himself stated. He proved that a large majority of people would continue to engage in an immoral act when ordered by a person in authority, specifically administering increasingly painful electrical shocks to another person. Even when the persons administering the shock became stressed and voiced the inappropriateness of the situation, they continued to do so when asked to continue, although a few (including some women) enjoyed their participation. The subjects were not threatened into doing so; they were simply ordered. However, a small percentage of persons stopped participating and *refused* to follow orders. The results of Milgram’s experiment are not confined to the laboratory. We see it taking place today in real time throughout different sections of society. I will give different instances. #### Transgenders in Competitions We live at a time when stating the obvious or citing facts is an act of courage and defiance. There are men who were mediocre at sports but now pretend to be the opposite sex by calling themselves ‘transgender women’ and participating in women’s sports. Predictably, [they](https://www.bizpacreview.com/2023/05/04/cycling-officials-to-review-trans-athlete-rule-after-biological-man-wins-us-womens-race-1356143/?utm%5Fcampaign=bizpac&utm%5Fcontent=Newsletter&utm%5Fmedium=Newsletter&utm%5Fsource=Get%20Response&utm%5Fterm=EMAIL) beat [real](https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/trans-marathoner-defeats-14-000-women-in-race-after-competing-as-man-months-earlier/ar-AA1akJB8?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=745ff67a1ccc45478a60f2dfdec031a7&ei=42&ref=goodoil.news) female [athletes](https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/04/cheating-pervert-lia-thomas-gloats-after-biden-regime-proposes-new-rule-which-will-destroy-womens-sports-champion-swimmer-riley-gaines-rips-apart-thomas-and-biden-video/?utm%5Fsource=Email&utm%5Fmedium=the-gateway-pundit&utm%5Fcampaign=dailyam&utm%5Fcontent=2023-04-18). Everyone is expected to approve of their participation and shower them with adoration for winning. Everyone is also expected to not complain, not deride, and not boycott. The same is true when these grotesque individuals take part in [beauty](https://americanwirenews.com/transgender-man-wins-local-beauty-pageant-which-provides-scholarships-to-young-women/?utm%5Fcampaign=bizpac&utm%5Fcontent=Newsletter&utm%5Fmedium=Newsletter&utm%5Fsource=Get%20Response&utm%5Fterm=EMAIL) shows and the elites award [them](https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2018/07/spain%5Fdecides%5Fmost%5Fbeautiful%5Fwoman%5Fin%5Fspainis%5Fa%5Fman.html?ref=goodoil.news) the [crown](https://www.city-journal.org/article/miss-netherlands-is-the-face-of-western-self-cancellation?ref=goodoil.news), or, when they are chosen to be models representing women, [whether](https://chicksonright.com/blog/2023/04/07/dear-nike-why-do-you-insist-on-using-the-most-un-athletic-biological-male-for-a-womens-athletic-wear-campaign/?ref=goodoil.news) in magazine [covers](https://www.breitbart.com/sports/2023/05/16/this-is-a-man-sports-illustrated-blasted-for-putting-trans-pop-star-on-swimsuit-cover/?ref=goodoil.news) or promoting [beauty](https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/lifestyle-buzz/maybelline-s-bold-new-campaign-uses-men-with-full-beards-to-promote-new-product-line-sparking-social-media-controversy/ss-AA1egXiu?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=8acc37d8eb88407988f8745d5a62c618&ei=49&ref=goodoil.news) products. And we all must conform and agree to that stance, the premise being that if only everyone goes along and pretends that there are no differences between the transgenders and women, everything will be fine. One difference between Milgram’s experiments and today’s instances of obedience to authority is that the latter [often](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/religious-professor-accused-of-homophobia-and-misogynistic-banter-and-is-terminated-from-his-science-teaching/ar-AA1dRoYO?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=347ee60f43a846c99cb3664bbefd3a9a&ei=9&ref=goodoil.news) has [threats](https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2023/04/07/swimming-star-riley-gaines-assaulted-by-transgender-mob-at-san-francisco-state-u/?ref=goodoil.news) and/or [retaliation](https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/16-year-old-says-she-was-kicked-off-swim-team-for-protesting-biological-males-in-ymca-girls-locker-room/ar-AA1dIOLh?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=d0e66bc9a225400a8ef089973a39aa14&ei=8&ref=goodoil.news), as has happened in the transgender movement. Even so, there are individuals [who](https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/motorsports/megyn-kelly-rips-trans-cyclist-who-was-abandoned-on-podium-after-winning-women-s-race/vi-AA1bpDXu?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=099fee21dc7f4efb93f6eb532669487d&ei=10&ref=goodoil.news) stand [firm](https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/06/fastest-girl-connecticut-sues-state-after-losing-biological/?utm%5Fsource=Email&utm%5Fmedium=the-gateway-pundit&utm%5Fcampaign=dailypm&utm%5Fcontent=2023-06-10) against this travesty. #### Indoctrination in Schools Whether in high schools, elementary schools, or in universities there is a massive endeavor to indoctrinate youngsters on a number of seemingly different, but actually interconnected ideologies: [transgender](https://www.bizpacreview.com/2023/06/22/grieving-california-mom-accuses-public-school-of-helping-murder-her-daughter-through-gender-ideology-1370877/?utm%5Fcampaign=bizpac&utm%5Fcontent=Newsletter&utm%5Fmedium=Newsletter&utm%5Fsource=Get%20Response&utm%5Fterm=EMAIL), [homosexuality](https://notthebee.com/article/based-parents-file-police-report-on-teacher-who-offered-lgbt-themed-books-for-kids?ref=goodoil.news), anti-white [racism](https://dailycaller.com/2021/12/08/rep-slotkin-silent-after-superintendent-contradicts-claim-that-no-school-in-michigan-teaches-crt/?utm%5Fsource=piano&utm%5Fmedium=email&utm%5Fcampaign=2360&tpcc%3D=newsletter&pnespid=qL82GSBaL7wH26eR9jjtTcyA4QDxUcB6KLDiwfo1sRlmyBp9%5FNMLzeaLKIr3K), and [anti](https://thefederalist.com/2021/06/11/tom-cotton-hundreds-of-whistleblowers-say-military-forcing-anti-american-indoctrination-on-them/?utm%5Fsource=newsletter&utm%5Fmedium=email&utm%5Fcampaign=the%5Ffederalist%5Fdaily%5Fbriefing%5F2021%5F06%5F12&utm%5Fterm=2021-06-21)\-America. Children have not yet become adults and learned to betray one’s beliefs and principles in order to placate mediocrities. Consequently, there have been a number of students who have revolted against the indoctrinators; in fact, it seems that their numbers are greater than adults in other settings. Thus, we have seen a mass walkout of students in [Ottawa](https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/06/ottawa-high-school-students-stage-walkout-protest-radical/?utm%5Fsource=Email&utm%5Fmedium=the-gateway-pundit&utm%5Fcampaign=dailyam&utm%5Fcontent=2023-06-17) over homosexual indoctrination. The students in a California class objected to the [teacher](https://www.bizpacreview.com/2023/06/12/math-teacher-threatens-students-for-objecting-to-pride-propaganda-1367475/?utm%5Fcampaign=bizpac&utm%5Fcontent=Newsletter&utm%5Fmedium=Newsletter&utm%5Fsource=Get%20Response&utm%5Fterm=EMAIL) showing a homosexual propaganda film in her *math class* whereupon she threatened the whole class (the same happened in a school in [London](https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/lifestyle-buzz/teacher-threatens-students-you-ll-be-dealt-with-severely-for-rejecting-lgbt-ideology-leaving-parents-furious/ss-AA1awUNc?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=9b8910cb4fce440d88f2535e599ae51a&ei=46&ref=goodoil.news#image=2)). Students in a [Boston](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/middle-school-students-revolt-against-pride-month-celebration/ar-AA1cB11n?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=76a0603597ad4f8ea5124fcad43f92f2&ei=47&ref=goodoil.news) school objected to all of the LGBTQ kitsch being displayed in the school and tore them down. In Massachusetts, the students disobeyed authority and refused to [wear](http://massachusetts/?ref=goodoil.news) pro-homosexual [items](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/kids-protest-lgbt-culture-in-school-my-pronouns-are-usa/ar-AA1cBbst?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=a838da66925143baa28e1c9f0de9f9ce&ei=52&ref=goodoil.news), and announced that their pronouns were “USA” and “Kiss my ass”, which apparently sent the authority figures into panic. However, in contrast to mass revolts, when it is the lone student who refuses to submit unconditionally to the totalitarians, retaliation surely follows. Thus, we saw one student in [Calgary](https://thecountersignal.com/teen-detained-in-jyoti-gondeks-calgary-for-protesting-trans-indoctrination/?ref=goodoil.news) taken into custody for objecting to homosexual indoctrination. In Idaho, one student was banned from attending his high school graduation ceremony and had a firefighting job offer revoked when he stated there are only two genders. In Massachusetts, one student was sent [home](https://www.bizpacreview.com/2023/04/30/boy-12-destroys-school-board-over-his-unsafe-t-shirt-that-read-there-are-only-two-genders-1354785/?utm%5Fcampaign=bizpac&utm%5Fcontent=Newsletter&utm%5Fmedium=Newsletter&utm%5Fsource=Get%20Response&utm%5Fterm=EMAIL) for wearing a T-shirt that stated that there were only two genders; the [school](https://notthebee.com/article/this-massachusetts-boy-was-sent-home-from-school-for-wearing-a-shirt-that-said-there-are-only-2-genders-and-then-gave-this-absolute-fire-speech-to-the-school-board?ref=goodoil.news) explained that the T-shirt made others “feel unsafe”. In an [Ohio](https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/news/university-of-cincinnati-student-given-zero-after-using-term-biological-woman/vi-AA1cg2OR?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=11681d5e1f5e47a8bd48b8ea33146beb&ei=9&ref=goodoil.news) university, a professor [gave](https://www.bizpacreview.com/2023/05/22/college-student-says-she-got-a-zero-on-assignment-for-using-the-words-biological-women-1361282/?utm%5Fcampaign=bizpac&utm%5Fcontent=Newsletter&utm%5Fmedium=Newsletter&utm%5Fsource=Get%20Response&utm%5Fterm=EMAIL) one student a zero on her paper because she [used](https://notthebee.com/article/watch-she-got-a-zero-on-an-assignment-because-she-used-the-term-biological-woman?ref=goodoil.news) the term “biological woman”. In Scotland, a high [school](https://www.thecollegefix.com/teacher-kicks-student-out-of-class-argues-with-him-for-stating-there-are-only-two-genders/?ref=goodoil.news) teacher kicked one student out of [class](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzEKw1YPec8&ref=goodoil.news) because the student stated the scientific fact that there are two genders: male and female. He was subsequently expelled from [school](https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/07/04/teen-who-declared-there-are-two-genders-barred-returning-school/?ref=goodoil.news). A GoFundMe page for raising money in order to attend another school was shut down by leftists. Note that each of the individual students did not back down. In [Maine](https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/parenting/pornographic-literature-found-in-middle-school-library-causes-11-year-old-to-speak-out/ar-AA1cEjJe?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=d40bf3a5cb8f4f56aa2f8ea09eeb09b7&ei=19&ref=goodoil.news), a young child read to the school board from a pornographic book available at the school, said book having become commonplace. It was not clear whether the school or the school board retaliated against him. It has been my observation that the type of person who strongly believes that spanking a child for misbehaving should never be done because it is abuse is also the very same person who approves ripping out a young girl’s uterus, cutting off her breasts, and injecting that child with toxic chemicals under the banner of transgender rights. #### Congress When Ted Cruz was elected to the Senate, he instantly became aware that it was divided into the Democrats who were all in tandem behind an ideology, and the Republicans who were unprincipled career opportunists. He was told by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell that government spending and bureaucracy-reducing measures would not be allowed. Cruz carried out a filibuster to make his point. A while later, he introduced a bill, but it did not get seconded, a public slap in the face, and so the bill died; McConnell had ordered all his minions not to second it and the Democrats were certainly not going to second a Republican’s bill. Soon afterwards, a grinning Lindsay Graham stated that Ted Cruz could be murdered in a full session of the Senate and not a single witness would come forward (McConnell later ordered them both to appear together smiling to declare it had been a joke). Cruz got the message. If he continued on his course, he would be isolated and he would get absolutely nothing accomplished and get no support on anything; his Congressional term would simply be a waste of time. He decided to shut up on certain things in order to get other things accomplished. #### FBI It has become obvious to many by now that the FBI has become [politicized](https://notthebee.com/article/former-fbi-agent-the-fbi-became-politically-weaponized-starting-from-the-top-in-washington-and-trickling-down-to-the-field-offices?ref=goodoil.news) and there are elements within the bureaucracy that would like to turn it into a Stasi.

Politicians on one side of the political spectrum insisted on lockdowns, censorship, useless face masks, and toxic vaccines while the other side just kept quiet, as usual.

Anyone with even a rudimentary knowledge of science knew that a virus, which can only be seen through an electron microscope, would not be stopped by a face mask made of cotton fibers. Nonetheless, institutions ordered masks to be worn. Trying to reason with enforcers – who kept *repeating* the order to wear a mask – was a waste of time. I know. I tried on numerous occasions.

The media hivemind pushed the propaganda.

[Many](https://www.bizpacreview.com/2022/01/31/i-was-born-free-i-will-die-free-unvaxxed-nc-man-denied-kidney-transplant-for-refusing-jab-1195237/?utm%5Fmedium=Newsletter&utm%5Fsource=Get%20Response&utm%5Fterm=EMAIL&utm%5Fcontent=Newsletter&utm%5Fcampaign=bizpac) refused. The Covidians could have simply accessed the (samizdat) internet and become educated as to the adverse effects of the toxic injections and the beneficial results of the forbidden medications. They refused to do so. But the irony is lost on the actors: To encourage ‘vaccination’, someone in Germany arranged his sheep in the outline of a syringe. And a YouTuber who posted a message on his site that it was the people who stood firm against the face masks and the toxic injections who were the ones who got it right, the people who are brave and courageous and defend civilization, well, his YouTube account was [terminated](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFWQ-rdcCJM&ref=goodoil.news) by the YouTube censors. #### Ve Vere Just Following Orders (the English version: “We’re just doing our job.”) “Ve vere just following orders,” was an excuse by SS officers during WWII to excuse their atrocities and were rightfully mocked by British and American servicemen who incinerated tens of thousands of innocent civilians in Dresden and Hamburg. During the Covid fiasco, we saw police violating the basic rights of citizens in America, Canada, Australia, Britain, Holland, Italy, and Germany. Citizens were arrested for being in church, in friends’ homes, or demonstrating against the lockdown tyranny. In [Australia](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9w-avLRC3k&ref=goodoil.news) and [Canada](https://www.bizpacreview.com/2023/01/27/canadian-pastor-repeatedly-jailed-for-defying-covid-tyranny-will-face-trial-for-the-final-time-1328201/?utm%5Fcampaign=bizpac&utm%5Fcontent=Newsletter&utm%5Fmedium=Newsletter&utm%5Fsource=Get%20Response&utm%5Fterm=EMAIL), the [police](https://www.bizpacreview.com/2022/02/19/update-chilling-scenes-as-trudeau-crushes-crowd-snipers-on-buildings-grandma-trampled-by-troopers-horse-1203015/?utm%5Fmedium=Newsletter&utm%5Fsource=Get%20Response&utm%5Fterm=EMAIL&utm%5Fcontent=Newsletter&utm%5Fcampaign=bizpac) [were](https://www.rt.com/news/535256-elderly-australian-knocked-melbourne-police/?ref=goodoil.news) particularly [brutal](https://www.news.com.au/national/victoria/video-emerges-of-cop-throwing-man-headfirst-into-the-ground-in-melbourne/news-story/a9b73be96d8ab5615f186db867de2262?ref=goodoil.news) against their [citizens](https://www.westernjournal.com/report-7-horrifying-videos-show-australia-now-brutal-police-state-thanks-covid-fascists/?ref=goodoil.news), who were doing nothing more than marching down the street (Canada’s Justin Trudeau, incidentally, is on record as being an admirer of Communist China’s dictatorship). And what did the opposition parties do? [Nothing.](https://caldronpool.com/justin-trudeau-says-freedom-truckers-are-antisemitic-islamophobic-anti-black-racist-homophobic-transphobes/?ref=goodoil.news) Proving once more that the different political parties in all those countries are actually the Uniparty. In none of those countries, to my knowledge, was there a refusal by the constabulary to deprive citizens of their rights (actually, there was one brief exception, in Italy). Not too surprising when one considers that the rank and file come from the military, trained to carry out orders from their “superiors” without question, no matter what. Which is why indoctrination is now taking place within the military without meeting any resistance. This is particularly worrisome because it is apparent that whoever controls the police bureaucracy is certain to have no opposition from the rank and file, even if those countries are supposed to be democracies. #### The media Nowhere is conformity and obedience more evident than in the media, whether it is television, or print media – which is why I call it the media hivemind. There, one must have the same opinion, think the same thoughts, voice the same words. Obedience to authority is mandatory.

As can be seen from the above instances, there is a basic principle running throughout each of the specific occurrences of either courage or cowardice. Regardless, one does not have to be acquainted with Milgram’s work to recognize the underlying principle. It has been stated before. By John Dewey: “Nonresistance to evil which takes the form of paying no attention to it is a way or promoting it.” By Maya Angelou: “I think that the courage to confront evil and turn it by dint of will into something applicable to the development of our evolution, individually and collectively is exciting, honorable.” And by, of course, Edmund Burke: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” Whether in America, Australia, Ireland, Germany, or Italy, Western Civilization is under the onslaught by totalitarians on a number of different fronts, and to date they are winning hands down. Having lived in a totalitarian regime, I (and [others](https://issuesinsights.com/2021/12/02/refugees-from-communist-countries-are-the-canaries-in-the-coal-mine/?ref=goodoil.news)) recognize all the signs. Frankly, the future is bleak. The ‘heroes’ (if I may use that word) cited above are outnumbered by the cowards.
