2/ Barbara Walters wasn’t asking a question in good faith

2/ Barbara Walters wasn’t asking a question in good faith. She was launching a GSRRM attack:

3/ � Shame She framed Connery’s past words as disgraceful, with tone and body language signaling: “You should feel ashamed for this.”

This is step one in the manipulation playbook—attack the person, not the argument.

4/ � Moralizing The question implied that her worldview was morally superior.

There was no invitation to discuss—only to repent. It’s not a debate. It’s a moral trial.

5/ � Rallying the Herd She counted on the audience’s emotional response. The unspoken message:

“Everyone watching agrees with me. You’re the outsider. Conform.”

6/ � Frame Trap Walters framed the conversation so that Connery was already guilty.

He had only two “choices”: A) Apologize B) Be condemned

This is a false binary used to collapse your agency.

7/ � But Connery didn’t flinch.

No apology. No shame. No emotional defense. He simply reaffirmed his position. Calm. Steady. Unmoved.

He rejected the premise—and with it, the manipulation.

8/ This is frame control in action.

And it’s exactly what I teach in my book: Become Immune to Manipulation: How They Are Manipulating You (And How to Resist It)

� Learn to spot the GSRRM. �️ Learn to defend your sovereignty.
