[[Cognitive Dissonance]] is the uncomfortable tension that exists when holding two conflicting thoughts in the mind at the same time, or it is the tension that exists between the actions of the mind, and the actions of the heart. It is the state of incoherence or inconsistency within our thinking, when conflicting thoughts surface into the mind and cannot be reconciled, clarified or neutralized. The Controllers use sophisticated global [[Mind Control]] agendas to intentionally target the masses in which to weaponize their personal belief systems to reject truth and accept lies through their own [[Cognitive Dissonance]].   
[[Cognitive Dissonance]] is the uncomfortable tension that exists when holding two conflicting thoughts in the mind at the same time, or it is the tension that exists between the actions of the mind going against the actions of the heart, or going against what we know to be true. It is the state of incoherence or inconsistency within our thinking, when conflicting thoughts surface into the mind and cannot be reconciled, clarified or neutralized. The Controllers use sophisticated global [[Mind Control]] agendas and [[Psychological Warfare]] to intentionally target the masses in which to weaponize their personal belief systems to reject truth and accept lies through their own mental state of [[Cognitive Dissonance]].   
 
The inconsistency between what people believe and how they behave motivates them to engage in actions that will help minimize feelings of discomfort. People attempt to relieve this inner tension in different ways, such as by rejecting, explaining away, denying facts or avoiding new information. <ref>[https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-cognitive-dissonance- What is CD]</ref>
