This article argues that the Stanford Prison Experiment was a staged event, not a genuine psychological study. The author, Miles Mathis, claims that the experiment, led by Philip Zimbardo at Stanford University, was a CIA/CoIntelpro operation designed to manipulate public perception and promote a specific agenda. Mathis asserts that the participants were likely actors, that events like prisoner riots and breakdowns were fabricated, and that the involvement of Palo Alto police further indicates a staged operation.

The article connects this alleged hoax to a contemporary NPR segment featuring Rutger Bregman, who is presented as a pawn of the “usual suspects” and “fascist old families.” Mathis contends that Bregman, along with NPR, is using the Stanford Prison Experiment to promote the idea that human nature is inherently dark and that civilization is a “thin veneer” over barbarism, thereby discrediting foundational American documents like the Constitution and figures like Alexander Hamilton. The author argues that this narrative is a deliberate attempt to undermine the Constitution and promote the agendas of organizations like the WEF and corporations like Pfizer, as well as the WHO’s pandemic treaty.

Mathis delves into historical and philosophical connections, contrasting the philosophies of Thomas Hobbes and Jean Jacques Rousseau and claiming that the NPR segment misrepresents the intentions behind the Constitution, falsely linking it to Hobbes’s authoritarian ideas rather than Rousseau’s Enlightenment principles. He also scrutinizes the backgrounds of individuals like Zimbardo, Bregman, and historical figures like Rousseau, alleging widespread Jewish ancestry and hidden agendas among them, which he claims connects them to powerful families and intelligence agencies. Ultimately, Mathis urges readers to reject the narrative presented by NPR and Bregman, to defend the Constitution, and to be wary of propaganda aimed at creating confusion and dissent.
