Responding To Netizen's Comment

Readers Comment:

In Chris Tan's latest video, he made several examples of gaslighting techniques employed by BBM to confuse the electorate and make you question your belief, your core values (why even your sanity) until you eventually shifted allegiance, from a true Leni supporter to the never say die BBM rah-rah fanatic. Can you explain how gaslighting works?

Response: 

Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which the person attempts to sow self-doubt and confusion in other people's minds. Typically, gaslighters are seeking to gain power and control over the other person, by distorting reality and forcing them to question their own judgment and intuition.

This form of psychological abuse where one person makes another question his or her sanity, perception of reality, judgment, and memory. The game plan is to stage outlandish narratives or make fearless and courageous statements to muddle and stupefy the victims (the voters). The aftermath of gaslighting on its victims is that it brings about sensory overload or as Chris Tan state in his video cognitive dissonance and a loss of confidence in persons being targetted.

In Chris Tan's video, the classic example of gaslighting was when BBM's propaganda machine and his army of trolls made audacious statements on social media linking Leni to being cuddled by oligarchs.  They bombarded the airwaves and the netwaves 24-7 (almost brainwashing us) that Leni doesn't deserve a day in Malacanang. They harangue us daily with 3 ize's (evangelize, dogmatize and moralize) as they pound the pulpit that their sermon was the gospel truth. They hate and abhor being around oligarchs but fate has his script of outing out their true colors when after winning, BBM was seen around dining and partying with the likes of Aranetas, the Zobels, the Go's, the Tan's of Megaworld, and the Aboitiz. Poor Leni she kotowed too and fall, victim, to this psychological abuse but I still have to see a single photo of Leni in the lap of the oligarchs.

So this is how gaslighting works.  With FEM dancing tango with his cronies, BBM has the oligarchs (the wealthy and the elite) tailing on his rear end and they played sweet music together running the country.  So the LIES will start when what they really are (being friends with the oligarchs) is being projected to Leni, that Leni is being surrounded by oligarchs and the elites. And the narrative is being magnified and amplified by his never-say-die propaganda machine and troll armies. The victims(the Voters) believe in the LIES, and the whole process is consummated when the victims become converts and start passing the LIES to everyone else.

Chris also mentioned another prototypal red-tagging linking Leni to CCP NPA. Was there any truth to that? Nada.  BBM used this scheme just like the scorch earth policy - a military strategy of burning and destroying everything (any assets or resources) that may be useful to the enemy. If one looks at it, how could Leni be involved with the REDS, (may be guilty by association perhaps), but I still have to see a single photo of Leni in the company of the leftist group.  When BBM won, we saw him in his tweets that he thank the Communist Party of China for gracing their home and joining them for lunch. He thanked His Excellency Meng Xiangfeng, the deputy Director, His Excellency Zhao Jianhua the Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines, and the esteemed CPC delegation.

You see we almost believed them with their red-tagging accusations, but what are we seeing here? It is barely three days after he won, but starting with the appearance of the missing Picasso painting, the oligarch, and the red-tagging thingies we almost see who really LIED to us. Definitely not Leni.

Another gaslighting example was when BBM urged to public to protect the votes in May 9. "Sa darating na May 9, kailangan din po tayong mapagbantay sa ating boto.  Protektahan po natin ang ating mga desisyon at huwag po nating hayaang ito'y muling nakawin sa atin. To which Rep Arlen Brosas Gabriela's representative countered: "Marcos Jr. is conditioning the public that if he loses, it would be because of fraud. and not because there is a vibrant pink people's movement on the ground."

This is a man full of bravado, saying bold empty words.  They are all staged, a naked attempt to disorient us.  And now that he won, and Leni obviously has not done anything like stealing an election, somebody has to caution him for toning down his over-the-top pronouncements because if my memory serves me right there were something like 8-10 persons commenting, that his call to watch the election process and be wary of thieves lurking in the dark is making him look stupid with a capital S.
