This article argues that the Milgram Experiment, widely cited as proof of human obedience to authority, was staged and its results manipulated to support a predetermined narrative. The author contends that the experiment’s design and outcomes were influenced by the context of the Holocaust and the trial of Adolf Eichmann, suggesting that Stanley Milgram’s work served to rationalize atrocities by portraying them as a result of blind obedience rather than deliberate malice. The article questions the credibility of the experiment by highlighting instances of participants questioning the study, the admission that many did not believe it was real, and the fact that commands to continue were met with refusal. It also points to the Jewish identity of Milgram, Eichmann, and other figures involved as significant, proposing that the experiment aimed to blur the lines between good and evil and to suggest that ordinary people are no different from perpetrators of atrocities. This, the author claims, serves the interests of “overlords” by undermining resistance to corrupt systems and bad actors. The piece concludes by asserting that human nature is fundamentally free and responsible, a truth that those in power seek to obscure.
