TECHNOCRATS LOVE THIS STRATEGY OF CONTROL MORE THAN DIGITAL TOYS

➡ The speaker, Dave Hodges, encourages his listeners to resist feelings of helplessness in the face of challenges, emphasizing the power of faith and collective consciousness. He warns against falling into despair and instead advocates for active participation in finding solutions to problems. Hodges also discusses the importance of maintaining physical health and shares his personal experience with certain health products. He concludes by urging his audience to remain hopeful and proactive, emphasizing the importance of faith and unity in overcoming adversity.
➡ Psychologist Seligman’s experiment on learned helplessness shows how people can feel so hopeless that they accept abuse as part of life. This is seen in society where people feel powerless against big tech companies and government control. However, the article suggests that we can overcome this feeling of helplessness by renewing our minds, not letting fear control our behavior, and putting faith in the Lord. It also warns about the dangers of a digital takeover of America and the loss of financial privacy, urging people to resist these changes.
➡ Dave Hodges, host of The Common Sense Show, expresses concern over a decrease in YouTube views, attributing it to his discussions on data centers and their impact on resources. Despite this, his podcast remains popular. He emphasizes the importance of faith, particularly in Jesus Christ, over political and economic battles. He encourages his listeners to continue supporting Christian leaders, even if they aren’t perfect, as they provide the opportunity to practice faith.

Sometimes I know that when we look at the issues that are facing us, particularly Americans and specifically people who are American citizens who are Christians, the problems can seem overwhelming. That there’s no solution. Our enemies hold all the cards. Well, our true enemy behind what we talked about here is indeed Satan. Let’s make sure there’s no misunderstanding about that, and I’m not going to mince words. And he’s powerful, but he’s not omniscient. He’s not all powerful. He’s not a God. And there are things that we can do right now to obstruct ethically and morally, disrupt ethically and morally, and eventually, by time, to where enough people wake up, come to the faith, enact our supernatural power given to us by the Lord, and change things.

And you say, oh, that’ll never happen. Okay, well, then go sit over there and let the rest of us do the work. And if you want to do the work, I’m going to spend a couple of days in various segments talking about the issues, but more importantly, what we can do about it. And I’ve told you long before, you know, I don’t really get accused of ever being a disinfo agent planted by the establishment to get what they want by influencing your opinion, and demoralizing you to the point where you have no hope, and you give up.

And that’s going to be the topic of what we’re going to talk about today. That’s called learned helplessness. And we’re going to talk about that. And then we’re going to follow it up with some solutions for learned helplessness. But because first, before we can act, we have to do two things. One, we have to become aware. And secondly, we have to have a collective consciousness that we share with each other. And if we use God as the base of all this, we’re destined to succeed. And some people say, Oh, Dave, we’re in the end days. I don’t argue with the fact it’s possible because of CBDCs, the Clarity Act, the Genius Act, and we’re one hop, skip, and a step away from the mark of the beast.

I don’t argue that I see that too. But the Bible also says you don’t know the hour of the day, because if we knew when the tribulation was going to start, then we’d know it’d be seven years that Jesus returned. And Bible says no one knows except my Father in heaven. That was what Jesus said. But we need to watch. And we need to prepare. And that’s what we’re going to do here. And if we’re preparing, we’re acting. We’re being affirmative. And by doing that, you don’t have to go through this in your lifetime. I’m convinced of that.

I think it’s going to be the generation that totally turns away from God, totally gives up the inherent power given to us within the Holy Spirit to resist. And we just give up. And this is why I’m going to talk about a psychological condition called learned helplessness, but stop what separates me from the disinfo people that are paid to come on here and make you feel demoralized is I’m going to give you solutions. And if only one of the solutions I give you works, it’s enough to start turning this around. In case you’re wondering who I am, and you’re the first time here, I’m Dave Hodges.

I’m the host of the Common Sense Show. We are the show that is free America, one enslaved mind at a time. And really, we should be saying one enslaved soul at a time, because we are destined to be free. And when something inhibits our freedom, we are to stand up against it. God gives you the ultimate freedom to be on Team Jesus or Team Satan and not to choose is to choose as that musical group Rush likes to say in one of their more popular songs, but they’re right. So if you don’t actively choose Jesus, you’re choosing either by default or purposely Satan, and that is a path to destruction.

No one comes out of that path unscathed. Oh, you may get temporary riches and pleasure and enjoy your sin. But at the end of the day, destruction awaits you. This is why I encourage everyone to take what I’m saying very, very seriously, the stakes are high. And I take this seriously, see, I should be actually quitting this form. One of the forms, I should say, which is YouTube viewership is down tenfold. Recently, we’ve had a 20% recovery. But income went down 25%. And that’s not why I do this. The income here is not significant enough to sway me one way or the other.

So if they think they can control me through income, think again. That’s not even an issue here. But what I’m pointing out to you is the control mechanisms are there to limit the people that get to hear the Word of God applied to everyday problems. So we can find solutions that are Christ based. And through that, we’re going to talk about learned helplessness. Now this show, if you’re new here, we stand for God family country in that order. And we have a special place in our heart to help the oppressed, which we’re commanded to do by the Almighty.

And I want to just share with you something too that right now with the dire situation with healthcare, unaffordable to the masses, like so many other things are, and it’s being done intentionally. And at some point in time, we’ll have to talk about this. We’ve talked about a piecemeal, but I think I’m due to have a segment here where I talk about it holistically. So you can see the intent is to lower your standard of living and have the largest wealth transfer in world history, which is undergoing right now. And you feel it every time you go to a restaurant, you know, they’ve got a new menu.

Look at that price. Or you walk to the grocery store and you go into sticker shock. Or you buy an automobile 2026 2027 and find out you have to take it to the dealer and get repairs that are three to five times more expensive than what you had at your local garage is so intentional. Then your money’s controlled and everything is being tokenized and you got the real ID, which is the first step towards CBDC and I believe that’s the mark of the beast. This stuff gets real serious real fast if you stop in your analytical about it.

But I want to show you something where you can empower yourself to take care of yourself and I am the walking talking definition of this. Now I am training for the Senior Olympics and I need significant time to train because if I’m going to get to world class being I need to drop 15 pounds. It’s not much. I’ve done pretty well in the last year and my speed is reasonably good. I might even qualify, but you never know till you get there. The humidity could affect you. You might not have a good night’s sleep. You might slip out of the starter’s block.

I mean, a lot of things can happen, but I’m going to give it a try and I’m having fun doing it, but it wouldn’t have been possible without these products. When I was stricken with RSV, then what so far is to strip my long linings. I mean, I was actually coaching at the time and we were in the state tournament and I could not walk across a parking lot, climb up the steps to the arena and do my job. I had to be dropped off right at the door. That’s how bad this was. I should have been in the hospital, but I wasn’t going to let this wonderful moment slip away.

And I looked at what I went through with Scotty Sacks, who I just talked to yesterday. He brought me the Nana Soma liquid spray. This is product right here. After taking it, I said, well, Scotty, how much should I take? He goes, well, maintenance dose is five times once a day, but he said, it’s all natural. And I said, what will it do if I use it all the time and I can’t OD on it because it’s natural? He said, it’ll boost your immune system like nothing else. And he said, not going to cure anything. We don’t make any claims.

So I used it. Within a week, I was walking up the stairs. I couldn’t walk up. Within a month, I’m back in the gym, but then the old joint inflammation comes back. And so I had to go to something that they offer here, which is the topical gel. And it grows pluripotent stem cells when you apply it to your joints on a regular basis. Now, how long will it take for it to have an effect where you have less pain and can do more? That varies. For me, I felt the difference six weeks. And by eight weeks, I felt like there wasn’t much I couldn’t do.

And then there is the skin cream for cuts and burns. The three together, the starter pack, 15% off every medicine kit in America should have this. Go to I want my health back.com slash Dave Hodges. I want my health back.com slash Dave Hodges. Okay, let’s talk about learned helplessness came about from a guy by the name of Seligman, good psychologist. He did work on how people become so disillusioned and discouraged and lose hope that they just give up and accept abuse as part of life. Learned helplessness. He did an experiment with docs. He had an electrical grid with no restraints on the outside, and he’d put a dog on the grid and would shock it.

Not life threatening, but enough to get the dog’s attention and the dog would instantly yelp and jump off the grid. And so the dog showed escape ability from trauma. And that’s a key point. Then he and phase two erected a grid. And the dog could no longer escape. And the dog tried, tried to jump over the barrier, tried to go under the barrier, through the barrier, yelps, kept going, kept going, kept going. And eventually the dog learned nothing I do is going to make any difference. So therefore I must just give up. And they conditioned the dog through operant conditioning to just stay there on the grid.

Now they removed the barriers so the dog can see there’s escape from this trauma. But the dog had been so conditioned that there was nothing it could do, the dog didn’t move off the grid. This is how we are in many cases. All of us are this way in some situations where we lack confidence and had failure, embarrassment, trauma, whatever. We avoid, we give up. Oh, it just doesn’t matter. Oh, the big tech companies have control of us and the government is just running over us and they lie to us about no wars and I got to worry about my kids and grandkids being drafted and there’s just nothing we can do because they’re all powerful.

You’re conditioned. You’re conditioned just like the dog on the grid that there’s nothing you can do. Well, there is something you can do. But I want to establish this point strictly in this particular presentation that Americans, for the most part, are conditioned there’s nothing you can do about the situation. I mean, you just look at Charlie Kirk and I have people ask me, Dave, I hear what you’re saying about the facts of the case and they don’t make sense and I don’t believe it either Dave and you were right to point these things out. And I thought that all signs pointed to Israel and I think some still do I think specifically to Netanyahu I don’t want to condemn the people of Israel they’ve done nothing here wrong.

But this goes deeper if Netanyahu was involved and I say if this goes much deeper than him. He’s just a tool. So who’s holding the tool. This is like an assassination who fires the gun is less concerned than who paid for the gun. And the same thing is true with our learned helplessness who is inducing this and how well you are conditioned by the algorithms in the media the social media. They control what you say they control how much you hear something and then they play the psyop game of controlled opposition. You know, what do you mean by that? Well, okay, there’s controlled opposition out there.

The basic premises of the Democratic Party. Reasonable mentally healthy people would not believe there’s something about the Democrats. I used to really like they were the working man’s party. They were the party for the abuse that discriminated against. They did a whole lot during the Civil Rights era for the rights of black people. They did a whole lot for the rights of immigrant workers that were here that were mistreated on farms. That was the old Democratic Party. Now they are serving the purpose of being the controlled opposition. To give you something to focus on and to put your faith in a party that’s disillusioned you that no longer you see my position is this.

Now, Maga was a deception. Either Maga was taken over or it was a deliberate psyop. I’m not sure which is true. But what I do know is what we’re living under right now is not what we were promised. What were you promised? Affordability. No new wars. We’ll never have a draft. And yet the draft has now become automatically registered. And I believe after the midterms, we are going to have a ground war with Iran. And it has nothing to do with nuclear weapons. Trust me, we’ve heard that mantra from Israel every two weeks for the last 40 years.

And it’s like the boy who cried wolf. How many times are you going to believe it? It wasn’t true in Iraq when General Powell lied to the U.N. and said, oh, they have nuclear material. Where was it? Scott Ritter was the chief investigator for the U.N. And he right there, he says publicly today, there’s no such thing. It was never there. It was all a facade to go in and get Iraqi oil for the Seven Sisters of Oil. And that’s all there was to it. And now Iran is doing the same thing. And why? Because the technocratic system we’re moving into will be based on energy credits.

File that away because I have to develop that more fully in a different presentation. But it’s the new economy. It’s technocratic. It’s digital. It’s tokenized. And most Americans don’t understand it. And I’m devising a curriculum right now to explain it. And a curriculum that’s verifiable and I’ll send you to websites where you can read up on what I’m talking about. And you can either confirm or disconfirm what I’m saying. But I’m telling you what I’m saying is true. But there’s something else that I want to highlight for you here. And it’s this. We are looking at a situation right now, ladies and gentlemen, where I think we’re being primed for the great deception.

I could be wrong. I could absolutely be wrong. But let’s take a look at just a couple of scriptures here and I’ll develop this more later. Okay. Is learned helplessness talked about in the Bible? No, they don’t use the psychological term created by Seligman. But you can see what I’m talking about here by a couple of scriptures. Here we go. Romans 12-2. Change begins with the mind. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind. You need to reprogram yourself that you can make a difference. We start with small things. We start with obstructing this takeover, digital takeover of America.

And there’s things that we can do. And they know it. I think one of the strongest scriptures here is learned helplessness involves a deeply learned pattern of thinking. I can’t change anything. Well, you can. In fact, let me come down here to one more scripture before I close. Second Timothy 1-7. Fear does not have to control behavior because the scripture says this. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of sound mind. When you’re trapped in learned helplessness like that dog on the grid, you’re not thinking about love and power.

You’re thinking about fear and your behavior becomes one of fear avoidance. And that means compliance to things that aren’t biblical or Christian that are evil. And basically what I’m saying is through Christ, all things are possible. Put your faith in the Lord. And that’s going to be the theme of what I’m going to give to you because what we’re looking at here is an oppressive system being imposed upon us. No, it’s not a conspiracy theory. It’s rooted in our laws and I’m going to break them down for you as we go through this series. We’re going to talk about the Clarity Act, the Genius Act.

We’re going to talk about tokenization and it’s all out there publicly. And it’s coming out of Congress. Okay, see, we all say, Oh, if we just got rid of the Federal Reserve and we could eliminate all all these. Okay, that’s Trump’s deception. The real enemy of freedom right now is Congress and what they’re doing here. I mean, know your customer law. We have absolutely zero financial privacy. Everyone is suspected of a crime according to the Fourth Amendment doctrine. You have to have reasonable suspicion to search. They search everything. You can’t make a transaction that’s not known unless you manage to get out of the system with gold, silver, and certain kinds of crypto.

Everything you do is monitored. It reminds me of that song by the police. And I’ll paraphrase the word at the end. Every move you make, every breath you take will be stalking you. And it’s for the purpose of eventual control. It also induces learned helplessness. And this is what the media does. They give you this fear, fear, fear, fear. It’s addicting. It’s like 12 minutes. That’s a segment. 12 minutes of fear-based news. And there is no good news. There’s no solution. And how many times have you ever heard them say, let’s pray for this. Let’s invoke the power of Jesus Christ.

Pray in his name. Do you ever hear that in the media? Our founding fathers did it, but we have moved away from it. I think that should be a clue as to who’s really behind learned helplessness. Stay tuned because we’re going to really blow the lid off a lot of things here. I’m Dave Hodges. This is The Common Sense Show. God bless all of you. I want to thank you for showing up here. And the bottom line I’ll say this is we have a quarter of a million subscribers on YouTube. And yet what we used to get was 50,000, 100,000 views.

And it’s not my ego speaking. It’s about spreading the word of God. And when we used to get that, okay, now we get 1,000, 2,000, and it was dramatic. I could talk about Charlie Kirk and TPUSA all day long and nothing would happen. But the minute I started to talk about data centers, driving up my electric bill, coming into drought-ridden areas with water gulping data centers, then all of a sudden the people disappeared. It was not because the people didn’t want to hear. They weren’t getting notified. So what I’m telling you is this is that you need, if you want to follow this, you’re going to have to come here on your own and not rely on the ding, little bell, subscribe.

If you’re on our podcast and radio show, you have not been interfered with. We’re still ranked in the top one half of 1% in the world for podcasts. And that’s by list of notes and you can look that up. That’s been untouched. Do I think that’s going to continue? Not in perpetuity unless we turn this around. And to me, it doesn’t matter. I would be happy walking away and going to do more enjoyable things. This is not enjoyable. This is a mission. And whether you realize this or not, I am trying to help you and every individual that comes here.

There is only one way out of this. Even if we don’t win the political and economic battles, there’s still only one way out and that’s through the Lord Jesus Christ. This is why I say you don’t elect anybody that’s not a Christian and you’re going to get people that lie to you will be fooled and you’ll get, you’ll get maybe a half a Christian that goes to church, but they’re not really a Christian. You got to vote for them over the social Democrats because the half Christian will at least give you the chance to practice your faith.

That’s really the logic of Franklin Graham, the son of the great evangelist Billy Graham, who says we still have to vote. And I do agree with that sentiment. And you say, Dave, what about the machines and what about the same day voting that failed in the Supreme Court? And I hear you. I hear you. But don’t put your faith in the Supreme Court. Don’t put your faith in Congress. Don’t put your faith in Trump. Put your faith in Jesus Christ and move forward. We’ll see you back here next time. And really, seriously, God bless every one of you.
