Cognitive Dissonance: Flight or Fight

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Cognitive Dissonance is a term social psychologist use to describe a persons feeling when confronted with information that is contrary to their world view or paradigm. It usually triggers a mental defense system known as flight or fight in which the patient either denies the information completely (flight) or builds arguments to defend (fight) th

eir view of the world.

When one fights the information they have tendency to get very emotional, often angry and will atteck the source of the information. When one uses the flight instinct they will often walk away from the source, refusing to learn anymore for fear that it will shatter their conception of reality.

There are many instances of this kind of behavior in modern day life, soldiers returning from active duty after being told to do things that may disagree with their personal moral standards. People exploring the truth of the 9/11 terrorist attacks after learning new information that conflicts with their sensibilities, such as the collapse of building seven. Learning about the existence of another large planetary body in our solar system such as Nibiru Plane X or finding out information that might lead to an Extinction Level Event (ELE) such as the Polar Shift.

The term was first introduced by Leon Festinger in his book When Prophecy Fails a true story about a UFO cult that is convinced mankind will perish in a cataclysmic flood and that their only chance at rescue is to prepare for being taken off the planet by a spaceship from the planet Clarion. I t explores how people deal with failed expectations, both in the physical and mental sense and the destructive behavior it may cause.

      Planet X will NOT cause an extintion level event. Just one more example of the constant misinterpretation of ZetaTalk by this “author.”

      Stop plagarizing ZetaTalk and failing to give credit where credit is due. CHEATER!

      This “author” steals ideas and material from both ZetaTalk.com and the poleshift.ning.com and PRETENDS to be some kind of genius who thought of all this him or herself. NOT!

      What kind of person tries so hard to get attention that PLAGARIZING material is A-Ok? Answer: A very immature soul who cares not about the truth just as long as people read his or her BS about Planet X/Nibiru while failing to mention almost all the ideas misinterpreted came from the Zetas of ZetaTalk!

      But for ZetaTalk you would have nothing to write about, that is how much and often you plagarize ZetaTalk and LIE that you are not doing exactly that!

      Have YOU predicted the U.S., China, Russia and many other nations will simulatenously announce Planet X/Nibiriu is real? No, you did not. That is something else ONLY the Zetas and Nancy Lieder will be correct about, not you!

      This joker is all about attention for him or herself, that is all. This joker knows that Nibiru/Planet X is the hottest topic and chose the subject just to get attention!

      Nancy Lieder will be in huge demand for interviews after the announcement Planet X is real. Huge! But then she is the founder of the modern day Planet X theory which is no longer a theory, not you!

      If you don’t like my revealing the truth about you, “author,” then I suggest you stop posting on BIN. Attention seekers and plagarizers like you should not be a part of the BIN community.

      Of course I am an expert on ZetaTalk which his how I can instantly determine when and how you PLAGARIZE ZetaTalk and get the facts from ZetaTalk wrong.

      YOU predicted the “polar shift” would happen in 2012 because YOU bought into the white lie the Zetas told about the year of the actual pole shift, right?

      The pole shift obviously did NOT happen in 2012! You got that wrong too!

      So rather than admit you are WRONG about the pole shift happening in 2012, you pretend the pole shift is ongoing, happening now. It is not happening, now!

      You are clearly a very immature soul. Other than pointing out you are a plagarizier of ZetaTalk and do not abide by copyright laws either, that is the only “personal” attack from me. Wish I could say that about YOU, that you never attack people personally to support your bogus theories about Planet X/Nibiru, but, unfortunately, that is something you do regularly!

      TAKE A HIKE PLAGARIZER!
