Isn’t that special. I have known from the beginning that Obama has kept a whole squadron of psychiatrists and psychologists on tap for population manipulation. Now, he’s stepping up his fascism. No point in hiding it anymore, I guess. The Feds are going to conduct behavioral experiments on U.S. citizens in order to advance government initiatives. That has a whole plethora of nasty connotations connected to it. At the very least, this will be used to create more governmental propaganda. The initiative draws on research from University of Chicago economist Richard Thaler and Harvard law school professor Cass Sunstein, who was also dubbed Obama’s Regulatory Czar. Color me not surprised – Sunstein is into controlling the masses big time. Remember “Nudge?” You should, it was meant to implement government policies that can be designed in a way that “nudges” citizens towards certain behaviors and choices.
President Obama announced a new executive order on Tuesday which authorizes federal agencies to conduct behavioral experiments on U.S. citizens in order to advance government initiatives.
“A growing body of evidence demonstrates that behavioral science insights — research findings from fields such as behavioral economics and psychology about how people make decisions and act on them — can be used to design government policies to better serve the American people,” reads the executive order, released on Tuesday.
The new program is the end result of a policy proposal the White House floated in 2013 entitled “Strengthening Federal Capacity for Behavioral Insights.”
I wondered what became of Sunstein and now I know. He’s been a busy little fascist. Not everyone thinks Obama’s ‘Nudge’ policies are the way to go or even a sane idea. “I am very skeptical of a team promoting nudge policies,” Michael Thomas, an economist at Utah State University, told Fox News in 2013. “Ultimately, nudging… assumes a small group of people in government know better about choices than the individuals making them.” Which has been the issue all along, hasn’t it? Remember when the Supreme Court was going over Obamacare and whether to call it a tax or not? That was ‘Nudge’ in play. Obama is using mental manipulation as a Marxist weapon. Yesterday, he signed an executive order deploying an army of psychiatrists and psychologists to mess with American’s heads. Sounds almost like Nazi, Germany.
