To help the American people better understand Nazi propaganda during WWII, Walt Disney used the story of Chicken Little to educate the public about how cunning they were. What appears as an innocent children’s story is actually a very carefully crafted tale about how disreputable individuals (the Fox) tricks the innocent members of society (Hen House Residents) into believing in something that is dangerously detrimental.
Those who created the poison conspiracy rumor used the same tactic the Nazi’s used to deceive the citizens of German into supporting their horrible campaign against the Jews. The following four Machiavellian tactics are embedded in the Chicken Little story:
#1 Use of flattery to convince insignificant people they are born leaders.
Once the idea that there were hidden whispers found in last few BBT recordings became public, many devotes thru themselves into the attention getting process of seeking out more “whispers.” The race to find more bogus evidence got so ridiculous those seeing leadership like attention identified a list of 45 in audible audio garbles and turned them into the following statements:

It does not take much for astute individuals to immediately recognize the many contradictions and intentionally misleading statements that have been used to prop up the poisoning charade. However those who are less astute do not perceive these details. They are the ones who have perpetuated this ugly rumor forward for the last 25 years.
#3 If you tell them a lie don’t tell a little one, tell a big one.
Claiming that there was 250 times greater than normal cadmium deposits found in Srila Prabhupada hair is so dramatic it’s hard to ignore. However, unless you have a background in how the body absorbs what it digests, you are not likely to be aware of the fact that the claim of ingesting such excess amounts of cadmium are not even biologically possible!
#4 Use propaganda to undermine the faith of the masses in their leaders.
The evidence speaks for itself. Nobody who promotes the poison allegations has any interest in even objectively looking at the facts or discussing the volume of fraudulent propaganda that keeps this rumor alive. There is NO evidence that they really want to resolve this controversy, because their real agenda it to undermined the authority of the GBC and ISKCON management in general.
These four symptoms are found in the poison conspiracy propaganda. Watching this entertaining 9-minute rendering of Chicken Little exposes the psychology and emotions that have allowed these horrendous allegations to go unchecked for so long. It is also a tacit warning to those gullible enough to follow Chicken Little on the path to their own spiritual demise.
