This story is a big slap in the face to us, no, a spit in our eyes, salt in the wounds of a people already in bondage. The social control scientists are busy at work, studying us, like lab rats. How best to squeeze, pump and stir public opinion. Well I have news for you Mr. New World Order. If you were really a full-on member of the Legion of Darkness, why would you even bother with public opinion at all?
“A Labor strategist who boasts that “public opinion is a fluid thing that we can squeeze, pump and stir” has been paid almost $2m by Daniel Andrews’ own department to run a secretive project to monitor the views of Victorians.
Despite Victorians bankrolling the confidential activity charting public sentiment and reaction to policies, the research will remain under wraps, with the Department of Premier and Cabinet refusing to release it.
In December last year, QDOS Research was handed a $1.1m contract, without a competitive tender process. The deal expires in October 2022, just days before the government enters caretaker mode ahead of the November state election.
The Australian has confirmed QDOS was also paid $786,555 to conduct research for Mr Andrews’ department between 2016-2018.
QDOS, owned and operated by veteran Labor pollster and strategist John Armitage, promotes itself on its website as a Labor strategy firm, trading on its ability to shape public opinion, change public behaviour, win elections and develop “persuasive” language for clients.
In a section headlined QDOS Values, the firm’s website states: “Fortunately public opinion is a fluid thing that we can squeeze, pump and stir, and sometimes just opening a little gate lets it rush into a brand new space.”
Welcome to the new age of total social control, the Great Reset.
