She also talks about her observations of the similarities between the slogans and phrases used by the New Democratic Party during the 2015 Alberta provincial election and those used during communist times which alarmed her.

She details the different stages of subversion of society, originally three stages but now four. The four-stage model includes polarization, demoralization, destabilization, and revolution. Den Boer stresses the importance of paying attention to politicians' actions rather than their words, as many dictators hide under different political parties and use deception to achieve their goals.

00:10:00 In this section of the video, Zuzana Janosova Den Boer explains the first stage in the process of converting free democratic countries to totalitarianism. The first stage is polarization, in which dictators instill feelings of victimhood and fear in the population. They introduce the notion of injustice, which leads to the noble idea of social justice. Den Boer gives examples from communist Czechoslovakia, where private business owners were portrayed as heartless exploiters of their employees. She also discusses recent narratives used for polarization, such as the Me Too movement and pandemic vaccination status. Finally, she mentions identity politics and cancel culture as currently being used to polarize society.
00:15:00 In this section, Zuzana Janosova Den Boer discusses the concept of "wokeness," which she argues is a fusion of critical terrorism, neo-Marxism, and identity politics that aims to fragment and polarize society. She discusses the power of fear in keeping people obedient and the use of climate change to instill fear in the public, creating urgency and giving groups a powerful organizing tool. She also highlights the fear of being demonized, ashamed, or jailed for expressing opinions as being instrumental during the first stage of polarization and cites communist Czechoslovakia as an example of how anyone who opposed the totalitarian narrative was labeled a denier and had to be removed from their position or face punishment.
00:20:00 In this section, the speaker discusses the erosion of freedom of speech in democratic societies and the three stages of converting free democratic countries to totalitarianism: polarization, demoralization, and destabilization. The goal of demoralization is to change the perception of reality, which is achieved by eliminating traditional values such as family, religion, and history, and causing people to lose the perception of reality and their sense of morality. Stabilization involves focusing on bringing down the economy and eliminating the principle of free market competition by eliminating small businesses. The speaker also notes that the media, politicians, and educators lie to the public to achieve these goals.
00:25:00 In this section, Zuzana Janosova Den Boer discusses the conversion of free democratic countries into totalitarianism. She observes that there are similarities between communism, fascism, and the current situation, as they destabilize society through crisis and control big businesses. Den Boer also talks about the concept of Revolution, which is not just physical but can also be psychological through the influence of beliefs and groups. She highlights the importance for dictators to know which groups and what tools to use in order to achieve totalitarianism and mentions the four stages of achieving this - polarization, demoralization, destabilization, and revolution.
00:30:00 In this section, the speaker talks about the two groups of people that dictators focus on for their success, which are idealists or altruists, and academia. The idealists or altruists are people who believe in doing good for the greater good but are usually naive and easy to manipulate. The second group, academia, consists of cynical people who can lie convincingly and lack principles but believe they are important. She continues to explain how the educational system is used to impose indoctrination on children as they are easy to exploit due to their emotional immaturity and lack of experience, and dictators always use children to create a young brainwash nation. The speaker mentions the psychological trick that dictators use, which is to choose one child to promote and give celebrity status to because the young generation lacking life experience will be motivated by this fake success, but once the child becomes an adult, they will be useless to their narrative.
00:35:00 In this section, the speaker discusses the exploitation of children for propaganda purposes, using Greta Thunberg as an example. She believes that giving children too much money and fame at a young age is poisonous and that using children for propaganda is ultimately immoral. The speaker further explains that children have been conditioned and brainwashed into believing that they need to save the planet and vote for a government that will stop Planet destruction, preparing them to vote for a particular party in the future. As a result, the speaker suggests that having a private school and homeschooling system is essential to prevent the government from completely controlling children's education. Additionally, she argues that it is essential to question scientific statements and to challenge scientific consensus, as science is not about ideologies but about questioning what is true and what is not.
00:40:00 In this section, the speaker discusses the corruption of the scientific process related to climate science. The International Panel of Climate Change (IPCC) was established to support the global warming agenda. The IPCC edited the scientific conclusion in their report to ensure consistency with policy recommendations, causing many scientists to quit. In the Climate Gate Scandal, key global warming climate researchers colluded to prevent the publication of technical papers that contradict global warming dogma. Consequently, climate science has become political ideology represented as science, which cannot be trusted without skepticism and critical analysis. The media is another tool for subversion, and dictators use it to create a feeling of unity by controlling information and messaging, which is short, simple, emotional and constant. The key is constant as people will eventually believe the lies if they are told often enough.
00:45:00 In this section, Zuzana Janosova Den Boer discusses the prevalence of propaganda and censorship in modern media, citing her own experience with fact-checkers on social media platforms like LinkedIn and the partnerships between the United Nations and large tech companies such as Google and TikTok to control COVID and climate change narratives. She advises people to question everything published by the media and to be suspicious if they keep repeating the same narrative without allowing debate or civilized discussion, as this may indicate the presence of propaganda. Den Boer also highlights the phenomenon of mass formation psychosis and recommends looking to history to understand how totalitarianism can take hold in society.
00:50:00 In this section, Zuzana Janosova Den Boer discusses mass formation, which is created by polarizing and fragmenting society to mold it into a mob-like mentality. Fear-mongering is used to spread panic and make people lose their ability to critically think, creating a mental state similar to hypnosis. When a totalitarian dictator steps in, they are seen as a savior by the crowd, and anyone who contradicts them is attacked, demonized, or even killed. The dictator takes control by demoralizing and destabilizing society, threatening those who oppose them, bombarding people with propaganda, and feeding them constantly with anxiety, hysteria, and fear. Society will split into three groups: the hypnotized, the silent majority, and the opposition. The role of the opposition is vital in preventing society from reaching the last stage of killing people.
00:55:00 In this section, Zuzana Janosova Den Boer discusses how totalitarian regimes come into power and the tactics they use to maintain it. She shares examples from Czechoslovakia in the 1950s when the Communist Party used the media to create national outrage against those accused of betrayal and collaboration with imperialists. They manipulated the masses by using the mythology of mass psychosis to turn them against these so-called traitors and requested their execution. Den Boer warns that the current situation is not accidental, and our ignorance is not our bliss but rather our peril. The Great Reset is the subversion of society into a totalitarian state with no democracy, and organizations such as the United Nations, World Economic Forum, and World Health Organization are all part of this plan. The new social norms created will redefine what is deemed fair and acceptable, imposing strict control over rationing in every aspect of our lives, including travel, food, and even personal emissions. Den Boer concludes by urging people to speak out and question all narratives; otherwise, our children and grandchildren will not have a future or the life which we had.
