BIP 444 - TRUST THE EXPERTS
PSY-OP:
How Experts Are Tricked Into “Doing the Right Thing” They don’t force experts. They seduce them.
TRICK: “You’re saving lives/democracy/planet”
Curated data only
Dissent = “harm”
EXAMPLES:
Operation Mockingbird (CIA, 1950s-1970s): Journalists thought they were “defending freedom” by planting anti-USSR stories.
Tobacco Playbook (1950s-1990s): MDs paid to say “more research needed” — framed as scientific caution.
COVID Lab Leak (2020): Virologist privately: “Plausible.” Publicly: “Conspiracy.” Why? Grants, peers, fear. He still thinks he chose truth.
LEVERS:
Praise loop (CNN hero)
Sunk cost (can’t admit error)
97% “consensus” (cooked)
RED FLAGS:
No raw data
Smear > debate
Solution helps one cartel
The expert believes. That’s why it works.
You’re not immune. You’re the target.
