Always nice to read something totally new. I was aware of the premise, but not the experiment. What we have here is a very simple explanation of why the majority of the world’s peoples — not just ‘Muricans — are such total dumb-asses. Going along to get along … is it really that simple?
There’s also some good news at the end … especially if you have wondered whether or not all your comments here make a difference to the Shit Show we’re living in. Or, are we just pissing up a rope?

This Scary Experiment Explains Two Years of COVID Hell
In case you were wondering why all views contrary to the Official Narrative have been canceled, it’s because of the Asch Conformity Experiment.
We have just gone through a nationwide, and actually a worldwide, Asch Conformity Experiment. As implied, the goal of the experiment was not to get to the truth. It was to get conformity. Only conformity is allowed.
Asch showed that people will actually believe things that they know to be false if they think everybody else believes those things. That is the point of the COVID nightmare experiment we just lived though. You must believe:
- COVID is hugely riskier than it actually was, so any actions are justified.
- Vaccines are your only hope, even though the technology has never worked.
- Vaccines are safe and effective, although they were tested for only a few months.
- The unvaxxed are subhuman murderers, to be shunned and even left to die.
- Not wearing a known-to-be-useless mask is a sign of relentless selfishness.
- Children, who are at almost no risk, must be vaxxed, or they will kill Granny.
None of these makes sense. However, no dissent can be allowed because the Asch Conformity Experiment showed that if one person stands up to the narrative, it is easier for the second one to dissent. Then another and another stand up, and then control is lost.
That is why every dissenting voice must be silenced. If one person cries, “The Emperor has no clothes,” people will see the naked truth. And that can’t be allowed.
What is the Asch Experiment?
The Asch Experiment, conducted by Solomon Asch, found out that most people, when seeing a “consensus” of participants agreeing on something that is fairly obviously false, actually ends up agreeing with those false opinions just because everyone else seems to think so.
Here’s more, via Wikipedia:
The critical element of the experiment was that eight college students were included in an experiment where seven of them were actors and one was actually the real subject. The seven actors would go first and agree to a falsehood that was obvious to the real subject.
Even knowing that the others were agreeing to something the real subject didn’t believe, an incredibly large number of the subjects went along with the falsehood.
Overall, 75% of participants gave at least one incorrect answer out of the 12 critical trials. In his opinion regarding the study results, Asch put it this way: “That intelligent, well-meaning, young people are willing to call white black is a matter of concern.”
Getting people to believe known falsehoods (white is black) is a pretty strong psychological tool. It is also very dangerous.
Equally critical is what happened if there was any dissent.
In studies that had one actor give correct responses to the questions, only 5% of the participants continued to answer with the majority.
As Asch showed, if only one person stands up, the sheep aren’t sheep anymore.
Constant bombardment of the narrative from every direction was critical. If only a few cracks in the wall develops, or even one, it all falls apart. To ensure conformity, all sources must push the same narrative. And they did. Since all followed along, it also means they (Big Media/Big Pharma/Big Government/Big Business) were all in on the scam. They created the appearance that everyone else believed the lie, and great masses went along with it.
If you think this is some esoteric thought experiment, try Googling some thought counter to the narrative. Google knows that if the first three search items are positive (such as Hillary is great) or negative (Trump sucks), a high percentage of their users will adopt that position — often without even reading the articles. Thank you, Mr. Asch.
I was giving a speech on artificial intelligence to a major university graduate computer program with a Google representative as another speaker. Not so surprisingly, the Google exec didn’t address this issue.
If you are wondering why Barack Obama (lie of the year recipient) and Hillary (of the disappearing email fame) are out pushing more censorship, one person telling the truth is too dangerous. Thank you, Mr. Asch.
That is why no dissent by the heroes of the resistance, such as Drs. Malone, McCullough, Koury, Urso, Cole, and Alexander; the Barrington great three; and the incomparable RFK Jr., was allowed. They were censored and vilified not because what they said wasn’t true. It wasn’t the facts. It was the acts.
The old adage “the nail that sticks up gets hammered down” is true, and all of the heroes mentioned have been hammered. But you don’t even need to hammer down any nails, if you don’t let any stick up in the first place. Again, no dissent is allowed.
So now we know. The whole COVID narrative has been an Asch Conformity Experiment. So has been the climate scam, the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, and the Critical Race theory hustle…Ukraine…
So here’s the question for America. Are we going to be governed by continuing Asch Conformity Experiments, or are we going to be free to think our own thoughts? Are we going to be an Asch Nation? That is the question, and the only question, and the one question that destroys the narrative.
Fortunately, while Mr. Asch showed the devil how to march us into hell, he also showed us how to avoid that fate. One voice can have a huge impact on freeing others to see the truth. It is not coincidental that “ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.”
If you don’t think one man can make a difference, let me quote from Thomas Fleming’s Liberty! On December 30, 1776, George Washington was going to lose most of his army as their enlistments were up. He pleaded with them to stay only another six weeks.
He admitted they had done “all I asked of you and more than could be reasonably expected.” But now their country’s future was at stake. Every man who would stay and serve — step forward now.
The regimental drums rolled. Not a man moved. Washington rode down the line, asking, even pleading with them to stay. Friends exchanged glances. The total sincerity, the absolute commitment of the man before them reached deep into their souls. The drums beat again. One man stepped forward, then another. “I will stay if you will,” said a man to a friend beside him. In a few minutes everyone except the invalids volunteered.
They went on to win the battle of Princeton, the War for Independence, and your freedom.
Tell all your friends, before it is too late. One dissenter can have a huge impact on getting the truth out. Step up. History is calling. You can make all the difference.
For showing us the way out of the pit you have led us into, we really do thank you, Mr. Asch.

THE END
Solomon Asch…… could he be …..jooish??
Shove it up your Asch Solomon.
Asch was born in Warsaw, Poland, on September 14, 1907, to a Polish-Jewish family. He grew up in a small town of Łowicz in central Poland.
In 1920, Asch emigrated aged 13 with his family to the United States. They lived on the Lower East Side of New York, a dense area of many Jewish, Italian and Irish immigrants. His friends called him Shlaym.[6]
Wow, you’re a better man than that, BL.
True story: my dad NEVER EVER called my sons by their first names. He made up some nicknames instead. Why? He hated (and never forgave me) for giving them Joo names; (Samuel and David).
Don’t become like that.
I thought the same thing Stuck. Makes me wonder……..
One of the scariest experiments ever performed was the Richter experiment (Google it). Scary in the fact that .gov and every other organization on the planet dedicated to controlling humanity learns its results early. The results are replicated 100% of the time.
We are human beings not lab rats. That experiment in overpopulation was interesting but who died and appointed these eggheads god? Will humanity be able to recover from years of this mental abuse, I really don’t think so.
Some of us are human. Others need to find Jesus Christ to help them up.
Well Ken, don’t look for Solomon and his ilk to go lookin’ for Jesus anytime soon. Does it matter that millions have died, families were torn apart, children lost parents, small business decimated and our lives ruined ALL BECAUSE this asswipe is conducting an experiment. WELL EXCUSE ME !!!!
Have too much coffee today?
The experiment was almost 70 years ago.
Anon- There are a plethora of these types of experiments, it matters not when the plan/experiment was designed. Most scripts are written 100 years in advance, most likely the whole Covid deception was on the drawing board back when this experiment was concocted. There are cycles of boom and bust, planned out to the nth degree. It is baked in the cake that we are to lose what we toiled to accumulate over our lives so it can be torn down and a new boom starts with the usual suspects making a killing yet again. Am I supposed to be in a good mood watching the world fall apart?
“A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23” by W. Phillip Keller will tell you pretty much every thing you need to know about sheep. Baaaaaaa!!!!
You are thinking of the Calhoun Experiment. Richter Experiment is entirely different and frightening in its simplicity.
Ice- Looked it up, that is the drowning rat experiment with/withhout hope. Again, we are not lab rats, you can’t destroy the world and kill most of us to see if we maintain hope. If this is our future, I guess we can definitely look for real Hunger Games to commence. Who exactly are we entertaining with our misery?
Kiss my Asch!
I did set an example not wearing masks when they dropped the requirement, and it spread like wildfire on campus, despite faculty pressure and propaganda. Ultimately, I couldn’t remain in a culture that coerced them to begin with.
You should have set an example by NOT wearing a mask when it WAS a requirement, otherwise you are just another wimp…
I did. I didn’t wear the mask, I took a year off until the requirement ended. And then I was sorry I came back, immediately.
Before they dropped mandates*, I would not wear a mask on a city bus. The bus driver refused to leave the stop and the people on the bus were ready to stone me. I eventually prevailed but left a few stains on the seat when I got off at my stop……not a pretty sight.
* mask mandates are still in force on city buses.
NEVER get on a EV city bus with or without a mask.
You guys are such wimps. I just flew for 8 hours internationally with mask mandate still in place and wore a mask for less than 10 minutes of it. Last year, on Amtrak train or on the Boston T with mask mandates, I never wore one either. I started enjoying the looks.
Trenton first, then on to Princeton.
Trenton Makes The World Takes
But what does Trenton make other than crappy NJ Statutory Law?
The best crack east of Philly. And I understand their crystal meth is nothing to sneeze at.
What the world refuses, Trenton uses.
That One Voice is very expensive if you value friends and family. I have been that one voice for nearly three years and I have, remaining, two good friends and that’s it. I have lost my woman, my family, my relatives and all my personal and business friends. Some are the “just don’t return his emails” types and a couple are the “I hate his guts” types with most somewhere between the two. I am willing to allow that some people are much tougher than me but I think not. No, most, like me, feel the losses and wonder why they are still in this world as it would be so much easier to be gone.
True. The reactions of brainwashed people when you contradict them has been absolutely unbelievable.
The look on their faces is priceless. I like looking at someone in a mask and openly laughing
So sorry you have suffered the loss of so many friends and family who unfortunately are hive minded non critical thinkers. I can imagine how the loss makes you evaluate whether this crap was worth it or not. A lot of people have had their eyes open to the true character and nature of the people who were supposed to have had their backs or cared about them unconditionally. Only you can decide the benefit\cost balance sheet of this fiasco but as one who has also suffered from the same great reveal and loss I am choosing to move forward without the ones who coldly threw me under the bus. I guess “now I know” is what I take away from this experience and if it had not been the scamdemic and demon shot I am sure it would have happened from some other scare mongering bullshit. Those two good friends are worth their weight in gold. Easier to be gone?………sure it is but to hell with that. You are already here so give ’em more hell while here and make the most of your blessed life. Blessed life?…….yeah, now you know who will be beside you and who won’t.
as the song goes-Boy, you gonna carry that cross, carry that cross, a long time-
I’m still here Doc.
Wow, Doc, you’re story is pretty much my story. I feel your pain.
Why am I up at 5AM? Because at 4:30AM I hear mom screaming out “HEEEELP ME! HEEEELP!!!”. I get out of bed, see what she wants. She has a stomach ache and wants a half a glass of milk. Okaaaay, I get the milk. Apparently, I don’t get it fast enough. And as I give it to her she says verbatim “You’re the worst caregiver in the whole world!!”
I feel your pain.
“We’ll always have
ParisTBP” – CasablancaThank God I’m a cynical, rebellious, non conformist always itching to fight.
You just described 95% of TBP
well.. its a good thing I know most people are f’n idiots and I would disagree with them just to piss them off. unfortunately, the idiots are the ones that go along with everything.
Where are mask mandates still in effect?
I’m curious if it’s a lot of placeS in the US.
We’re going on over a yea since they were dropped, so it’s hard to
Tell how widespread it is. Is it only an urban phenomenon?
As far as I understand, mask mandates are still in effect in all Big Corp hospitals everywhere in the US.
I transported my father to and from a DC hospital and a Kaiser hospital in MD last Thursday. I did not wear a mask into either one of them. Just don’t wear it. Make them tell you to put it on. No one said a thing to me.
Pretty much. Hospitals and transportation seem to be unmoved by the end of the mandates as well.
Lots of blacks walking around with them on their chins…
Indian reservations still have them in effect. In fact, some have tripled-down on the “mandates” in states that dropped the mandates in the first place.
“We’re doing this to “protect” the elderly”, despite the fact that horse left the corral a long time ago, and they’re still trying to close the gate long after the horses have left.
Another way at looking at the Covid conformity is that it provided a patriotic sense of belonging for liberals, and by that I mean globalists. We are not offering a moral consensus on anything that can draw the same zeal. We are anti. But, Trumpian Nationalism has the potential to do that if it can be coalesced by smart message-makers. A guy like Tucker Carlson is getting us closer. Steve Bannon even closer. Trump offers scattershot ideas, but no coherent nation. DeSantis is giving us good legislative outbursts without a coherent mission (and it would undoubtedly be too Republican on free markets and the war machine). The best theories of everything come from people we are not allowed to mention in polite company.
I had two relatives die from blood clots after they took the vaccine, another, 27 years old, took the vaccine and had to be put on a ventilater and am amost died. My uncle had to go to the hospital because of colon cancer, he was given a covid test first which was negative, but in 3 weeks he died from colon cancer, his doctor asked his wife if he could list his death as a COVID death, she told him if he did she would sue him, so he listed his on his death certificate as death by colon cancer. My parents had COVID omicron, they are in their 70s, not vaccinated, even diabetics, and they said a commons cold was worse than omicron. Hubby and I will not take the vaccine and will not allow our 3 young daughters take it.
