Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of the report is to present a critical look at the WHO-announced pandemic of Covid-19, which has been stiffening the world for a year now and clearing the way for the so–called “new normality”. The thesis is that this “normality” is introduced through a coordinated and methodically conducted policy of fear, which surprisingly coincides with the eight methods of forced submission or “training of people”, summarized by Albert Biedermann in his so-called “table of coercion” – a social–engineering development of military psychologists from the time of the WWII in order to” break “political prisoners and extract information. An additional explanatory framework for the success of the politics of fear is sought in the psychology of persuasion and the six principles of influence derived by Robert Chaldini. In conclusion, the traps of the normalcy distorted by the pandemic are summarized.
