COVID and “Mass Formation” theory

Since there is current discussion about the concept of “mass formation,” as it relates to “the pandemic experience,” I thought I’d make some comments.

The concept of mass formation is an intellectual castle in the air.

It purports to explain both manipulators and their human targets in the “pandemic years.”

Mass formation refers to some sort of mass hypnotic state of mind. As if a cloud, a mist, a transmitted signal. Birthed within a few hundred million or a few billion minds…whoosh. And its basic message is: YOU WILL OBEY YOUR COVID LEADERS. AND IF YOU’RE A LEADER, YOU’LL BE A TYRANT. Something like that.

Uh huh.

But in fact, we can simply say: there are people who do bad things to other people. When these evildoers are in charge, they do VERY BAD things. Like maiming, killing, illegally imprisoning, bankrupting.

There is no psychological mass formation of anything involved there.

A vaccine is killing and wounding huge numbers of people? The guilty parties are obvious. The vaccine manufacturer, the agency that authorized the vaccine (FDA), the government officials who laid on mandates, and so on…

And the doctors who give the shots or order them.

Where is the mass? Where is the formation? Nowhere.

Then we have the population of the world, assaulted with lies and lockdowns and killer medical treatments and false diagnoses and financial ruin, and so on.

Are these billions of people themselves forming some kind of mass in any literal sense? No.

Are most of them NOT resisting the oppression? That would be correct.

Is that a problem? Yes.

What kind of problem?

It’s not very technical. It’s called surrendering to fear. Fear of predators who have state power.

Am I therefore “blaming the victims?”

First of all, I don’t particularly like the term “victim.” To me, it implies a person can’t do anything about the people who are coming down on him like a ton of bricks.

I refuse to say that or believe it. And history proves so-called victims have fought for and won freedoms against stunningly long odds. MUCH longer odds than what we’ve been facing these past 2 years.

So let’s not bullshit ourselves about billions of recent victims who couldn’t rise up.

Every person can resist oppressors, and if necessary, die in that struggle.

Do I criticize people for failing to resist oppression? Well, gosh o gee, I do. Yes. I plead guilty to the crime of failing to be polite.

Do I realize different people have different limits on how far they will go to win their freedom? Yes.

OK. So…as far as the world population is concerned, where is the mass or the formation? Nowhere.

Are there exceptions to what I’ve written so far in this piece?

Here’s one. As I’ve reported for years, over and over, people across the world are being treated with massive amounts of destructive medical drugs. Toxic drugs. By doctors who are violating their oath every day.

These drugs, among other numerous effects, weaken the mind and scramble thought processes. You could call that a “mass formation,” if you were quite specific about what you were referring to.

But what about this: all of a sudden, two years ago, in response to a government declared state of emergency, and mandates, thousands and millions of people suddenly showed up everywhere WEARING MASKS.

This certainly looked like a mass phenomenon. Boom. Masks. People wearing them wherever they went.

There was an easy temptation to call that spontaneous mass formation.

I was somewhat less technical about it at the time. I said, who are all these fucking idiots wearing masks?

After further pondering, I came up with this amazing revelation. Each day, EACH INDIVIDUAL put on his stupid mask, INDIVIDUALLY.

And so when I went to the market and saw all these people wearing masks, although that was a compelling visual presentation, every one of those people had INDIVIDUALLY donned his/her mask.

It wasn’t really a mass phenomenon.

“Mass formation” is simply one of thousands of high-falutin terms academics feel compelled to come up with, because otherwise they’ve got nothing.

They can’t just talk about what’s going on in the world and who’s doing what to whom. That would be below them.

Plus, describing actual killers in high places would put them in deep shit with the people who are bankrolling the colleges they work at.

Yes, there is that.

Therefore, much better to bloviate endlessly and invent intellectual garbage which is adored by an “educated audience.”

As a result, that audience fails to face the bottom line: killers are just killers and dead bodies are people the killers killed.

PS: As I blithely stroll across those dead bodies on my way to the Post Office, I’m simultaneously submitting this article as my PhD thesis to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and the Sorbonne. When they get back to me with their enthusiastic confirmations, I’ll post screen shots of my diplomas. DOCTOR JON.

I’ll ditch my barber for a hair stylist, buy a few splendid suits from a British tailor, and start showing up at conferences with lots of psychological and philosophical gas to dispense to large audiences.

Now THOSE will be mass formation events.

    • CyndeeJ says:

      Isn’t he right? I have gotten so sick of hearing a mass formation I could scream.

      Jon gets right to the point which should be obvious. The evil doers calling the shots have individuals scared or conned.

      I can’t believe that our US government ordered so many millions of doses of the latest poison after a trial involving eight rats?? I think they are trying to piss us off at this point.

      Things are so in our face.

    About time you got some bespoke suits, Jon. Those old poet’s rags may work on Al Jones’ show but it won’t cut it on Rachel in the Meadow.

    Thanks for once again shearing through the bullshite. Does it not boggle the mind how MUCH OF IT we are Surrounded by? Wow. Double wow.

    STANDING O!!!!!!! Yeah, I read Desmet’s blame game. Chapter 8 was The End.

    Andy Andrews still wins the prize: How Do You Kill 11 Million People?

    You lie to them.

  6. Johnny says:

    It’s good to hear this view. The idea of “Mass Formation” never quite filled in the puzzle pieces for me. It’s closer to what you’re saying. Some people are evil and some people believe lies. It’s not complicated.

  7. ryeguy says:

    here i would contend you are making a wrong turn, have you read Desmet’s book, from your description appears you are making this call based on having no clue…

    • Joanna says:

      I LOVE your “tell it like it is” style! Enough with the sugar coating b.s.

      A LOT of people are suffering and yes, the bodies are piling up. And not from Covid .

      And yet SO many are STILL wearing masks. I prefer to just call them stupid.

  8. Bob - Enough says:

    I do not get it – ““mass formation”, what – it is a mass psychosis using behavioral science or applied psychology… TO GET PEOPLE TO BESCARED OF THE IMAGINARY “VIRUS” AND TAKE THE JAB, but then you jump to “A vaccine is killing and wounding huge numbers of people?” … which I agree with fully but the figures show that people are waking up and smelling the bacon now (or genocide) … but millions are still in a state of denial OR are to stupid to see or even care what is going on.

    You are mixing the two stages of this process up.

  9. KillingUsSoftly says:

    I do however see a ‘large’ formation of stupid people.

  10. Tina Marian says:

    Up until 9/11 I was reasonably happy with my life. 9/11 served its purpose in that it shook us up to our very core. Homeland Security and The Patriot Act sure sounded good. I was lathered up for war like many people so that we would get these guys who inflicted this unspeakable act upon our country. I believed every word Dubbya said. I mean, what a nice likeable man who comes from this lovely family. Time went on and I started to wake up. Well now I am fully awake and living in this nightmare. I can sniff bullshit a mile away. My third eye is open. Other than God, there will be no one coming to save us. We as individuals have to stand up to the tyrrany. Say no to the mandates, do not wear a mask. Do not take any poisonous medication. Be vocal. Do not apologize for your decisions. “I have a medical condition and I can’t” is sufficient to say. I could be wrong but from my understanding, it took only 1/3 of the populace to gather together and garnish the strength to defeat the British. Look to see if there are any MAFA groups in your area. The evil feed off of fear, so brave yourself up and march on for the lifeblood of our Constitutional Republic.

    • Karl Haemers says:

      But don’t believe the Q stuff.
      MAFA stands for Make America Fascist Again.

    • BoogeymanSlayer says:

      Honestly, I don’t understand how anyone fell for dubya’s bullshit or that entire 9-11 takedown of the US. He stunk up the airwaves every time that despicable POS was on it. You liked Homeland Security and The Patriot Act? I hope you were joking. That entire administration and his pappy were career criminals.

      We are still treated like criminals at the airport thanks to dubya. Smoke pours from my ears just thinking of him and others before and after him who resided in the Outhouse in DC.

      • William says:

        Right on, 911 woke me up instantly and I couldn’t believe that people believed what they were told happened that day. I thought the whole operation insulted our intelligence but it was years before some of my friends woke up to the sham.

  12. Nara says:

    “EACH INDIVIDUAL put on his stupid mask, INDIVIDUALLY.”

    And seeing everyone else wearing a mask had absolutely no effect on any of them?

  13. Roundball Shaman says:

    “Mass formation refers to some sort of mass hypnotic state of mind… There is no psychological mass formation of anything involved there… we have the population of the world, assaulted with lies and lockdowns and killer medical treatments and false diagnoses and financial ruin… Are these billions of people themselves forming some kind of mass in any literal sense? No.”

    When you boil down the lies and lockdowns and toxic, death-inducing medical torture treatments… this all comes down to one thing… A FEAR OF DEATH. Of no longer existing. Of eternal blackness and nothingness. The ultimate horror for most any living thing. To lose the very thing that gives you Life and existence.

    When one goes through Life without an awareness of the Divine and our true place in the Universe… then you fear death. This lack of communion and connection with the Divine is a kind of mass delusion that is hatched from both sides against the middle… both within internal fears (of death) by an individual and also imposed from Society-At-Large as a foundational fear within the human family. For the latter, this seems to be a kind mass psychosis imposed by billions of people who fundamentally lack faith and fear death.

    This is why people joke nervously about getting older. Or treat ‘aging’ as a kind of horrible disease in itself that we powerlessly submit to as the ultimate tyranny. We laugh to keep from crying.

    Just one more day closer the Big Eternal Dirt Nap, right? So we joke and kid at birthday time to hide our fears and unease because we misidentify what we are as human beings and spirits. As the sages have told us… we are primarily Spiritual Beings having a human experience on this Earth. But if you fear death… you don’t see things this way. That fear distorts our vision, steals our power and vitality, and makes us vulnerable to choosing all kinds of defeating thoughts and behaviors.

    So again, we can fear death all on our own without any outside help while at the same time fearing death as a result of the Dark Cloud of Death Fear being imposed from the outside that always hangs over our Planet like a dark and nasty storm cloud that never goes away.

    The Elitist faux gods who are destroying our World have designs on living forever. Why? Because They fear death. And They had better fear death as They have no spiritual foundation at all.

    Whether one is an Elitist faux god or not… when the fear of death rules your Life… you’re not really Living Life at all.

    Our World could use a Mass Formation that spreads the message and joy of rejoicing in our Divine Nature instead of wallowing in fear and death.

    • JoeG says:

      You nailed it!

      Fear of death is the big kahuna, but most people are just generally fearful: of the air they breathe, the water they drink, the food they eat; afraid of the opinions of others, of how they look, afraid to not fit in, etc, etc.

      There are concerns, of course, and there are risks in living, but no one gets out of here in their body.

      Put another way, no on gets out of here dead, because we are eternal spirits having, as you said, an earthly experience.

      Live long and prosper; you don’t have a choice.

    • will iam says:

      Primarily?!!

      Why the doubt?…..oh those spiritual guys again!

    I think that they are trying to be apropos in the Literal sense.

    As in after several injections of heavy metal nano toxins into your body your mitochondria will be short circuited, lowering your T and B cells thus compromising your lymphatic system, resulting in Mass formations of cancerous tumor cell growth.

    I imagine this is what they are hinting at When they speak of Mass formation.

  16. Laars says:

    RE “mass formation”

    The official framing of the mass formation (or mass psychosis) “phenomenon” is misleading and wrong in terms of what the whole true reality is. The false hope-addicted psychologists and their acolytes want you to believe this is “just some temporary occasional” madness by the masses when it is but a spike of a CHRONIC madness going on for aeons with “civilized” people — read “The 2 Married Pink Elephants In The Historical Room –The Holocaustal Covid-19 Coronavirus Madness: A Sociological Perspective & Historical Assessment Of The Covid “Phenomenon”” ….

    https://www.rolf-hefti.com/covid-19-coronavirus.html

    One of these mainstream psychologists who have been spreading this whitewashed reality, Dr. Desmet, also fails to see that the PLANNED Covid Psyop is a TOTALLY deliberate ploy because he doesn’t think (after more than 1 year, even 2 years, into this total PLANNED scam!) it’s ALL intentionally sinister as he stated in a prior podcast (this makes him witting or unwitting controlled opposition).

    In the May of 2022 podcast with James Corbett he stated that “some people tend to overestimate the degree of planning and intentions” (behind the COUNTLESS, VERIFIABLE, FULLY INTENTIONAL, FULLY PLANNED atrocities by the ruling tribe of psychopaths over the last century alone) and see all of it as being planned which Desmet called “an extreme position” … Sound logical thinking is “extreme” and therefore false and sick in his demented delusional view!!!

    In his overpriced misleading whitewashing old material regurgitated book the psychology of totalitarianism he too states that “There are countless … examples that seem to point in the direction of a plan being implemented, such as the fact that the definition of ‘pandemic’ was adjusted shortly before the coronavirus crisis; that the definition of ‘herd immunity’ was changed during the crisis, implying that only vaccines can achieve it … [he continuous with several other obvious facts of an ENTIRELY PLANNED event, especially discerned through the totality of all these facts].” “SEEM to point in the direction of a plan”??? No! They most evidently, clearly, and irrefutably DO demonstrate and prove it IS a COMPLETELY AND FULLY DELIBERATE PlanDemic! A big scam. An Entirely Planned Holocaust against the non-ruling herd of people (see cited link above). A coherent 12-year old kid can figure that out.

    It clearly shows Desmet’s own complete lunacy. But because almost everyone in the culture is a member of mass formation (madness), including the “woke” people of the alternative media domain, hardly anyone recognizes Desmet’s lunacy. Not surprising that he has even become some type of popular “guru” among the adherents of the alternative media landscape and his whitewashed fake narrative strongly resonates with both mainstream people and alternative mainstream folks.

    With his false use of language Desmet obscures or hides the true reality instead of directly and uncompromising exposing it — aiding the obfuscation of the vital reality of what the ruling authorities really are. He does the same thing when he speaks of ‘the elite’ (as he does in a number of podcasts) when, in reality, they are THE SCUM OF HUMANS because they are REALITY-VERIFIED PSYCHOPATHS (see referenced source above). Yet in the Corbett podcast he “teaches” us that we, the masses, need to start thinking differently. Right… how about YOU start with sane instead of insane thinking/talking/”teaching”/etc, Dr. Desmet?

    How do self-styled “truth-tellers” wake up the masses to the so-called truth when they THEMSELVES use lies with their deceitful fake language???
    No one is “teaching” or “waking up” the ignorant masses to the CORE truths with lies, with the official “language of lies” (see cited source above).

    This all means Desmet is ALSO a member of the masses of lunatics, an ACTIVE CARD-CARRYING MEMBER of mass formation!!! When, if at all, will he wake up from his state of mass psychosis, his “invisible” stupidity? When, if at all, will he face the TRUE and FULL reality instead of hiding behind fantasies such as his whitewashed “reality” of human civilization?

    It shows we live in a global mental asylum with criminal and/or delusional mainstream psychologists, scientists, and docs as the guards, “teachers” and “therapists” … The blind/criminal/mad leading the blind/criminal/mad; the blind/criminal/mad adhere to the blind/criminal/mad = the human madhouse.

    Worst of all, perhaps, the mass formation/mass psychosis notion frames the problem as the public being a mere unaccountable non-culpable victim in this phenomenon (the gist of the circular argument is: the masses should change their thinking but they got brainwashed so they’re victims). Nothing could be further from the truth (see referenced source above).

    Desmet is right in that truth-activists must fight against mass formation psychosis (human madness). That also means exposing HIS deeply destructive mad part of it. This comment serves, in part, that objective.

    “The popular “hope”-based “mass formation theory” (or broadly beloved “mass psychosis narrative”) is IN ITSELF a product and manifestation of “civilized” crowd lunacy.

    The RAPID THOUGHTLESS adaption and BROAD use of the MISDIRECTING UNAUTHENTIC “mass formation” concept (especially among the “alternative media” crowd, the so-called “awake people”), DEMONSTRATIVE OF THE TRITE BEHAVIOR OF THE COLLECTIVE HIVE MIND, is in itself ANOTHER proof of the CHRONIC madness of the masses.”(Rolf Hefti in his “The 2 Married Pink Elephants In The Historical Room” essay)

    • Nana Baakan says:

      I have listened to several of Dr. Desmet’s interviews and have read portions of his book. What I notice is that his point of reference is a response to the question, “Why did so many people fall for the narrative around Covid?” He even said that he himself was a bit concerned and wondered how he too fell for the narrative initially, especially with his work at the University as a professor.

      I had that same question, how could so many “intelligent people” believe such a crazy idea that a dangerous virus could spread worldwide and kill everyone? I watched as people around the world, even in very poor countries where there was hardly enough masks to go around, and the manner in which these masks were worn in such unsanitary ways, had me scratching my head, because it did not make sense.

      Unlike the days of old, where folks had to be physically in one place to form a “mass” today, social media draws and drew people from around the world using a very defined propaganda. The hypnosis was the constant regurgitation of the story, the virus is deadly & we are all gonna die!
      Harkening back to the fear of dying, there are other cultures that have a different approach to the concept, and yet even folks in these cultures wore masks, the very thing that would hasten the death null.

      Dr. Desmet mention the “lack of meaning making” particularly in the lives of those in the West, who in my opinion, fell for it hook line and sinker. He says this lack of meaning making gives folks a free floating anxiety, therefore, a virus scare was just the catch for the “mass” to project their once repressed untenable anxiety onto an open, readily available and approved anxiety, sort of a refocusing the anxiety onto something more tangible. Look how life is in the West. Then look at the Amish, who, without TV and being bombarded by daily propaganda & numbers of cases, went on with their lives.

      I will admit that it is rather complex to lump all of humanity into one category. You can see how different nations and cultures were impacted and responded differently to this impending broadcast of doom. However, Dr. Desmet’s view, one of many, is something to ponder, in my view, I would not thoroughly discard it as lunacy. His point is deeply entrenched in how totalitarians get into power because those whom they govern have given up their power to them.

      In the West, we have become enslaved by modern convenience yet we don’t realize the actual nature of our enslavement, why, because we are constantly told that we are free. Yet, we are so disconnected from who we are as natural beings on a natural planet. I truly think that is Dr. Desmet’s point. We have allowed, and with plenty of help, our lives to be taken over by the dictates of those in authority. We basically have to take our power back, we are not victims, we just got disconnected from who we truly are.

      I also must admit, that being a Mental Health Professional, and having had college courses in social psychology, I could deeply relate to his hypothesis. People can become “manic” when participating in large group events, i.e. sports, concerts, religious congregations, etc. There is an energy that comes over the crowd moving them into a hysterical singular direction (Orwell’s 1984). It takes courage to stand outside of that crowd, risk being isolated, denigrated, ostracized, etc., as we have seen, if you do not follow the current narrative.

      Dr. Desmet states that this current collective (mass formation) is not physical, where folks stand in close physical proximity. It’s a collective perspective about the object of anxiety that pulls you into the mass. A type of hypnotic trance perpetrated by the incessant voice of doom & gloom perpetrated by the media. Now, you can demonstrate your allegiance to the ideology by wearing a mask, social distancing, getting injected, etc. thus giving you the sense, however false, that you are part of the whole. Humans are social beings. The Covid ritual gave folks that feeling of belonging that has become so lost with this industrial age that separated us from our natural selves and environment.

  17. David says:

    I have to admit that when I was young I followed the herd; I believed the papers and wore drainpipes – until flares became the fashion. I remember saying, “You’ll go to Hell for lying.” So, I was naive. I think mass formation is just part of the herding instinct and, of course, there are those who are keen to exploit it.

    I prefer Dr Sigmund Freud’s idea that we’re all neurotic. That’s what Civilisation does to us. We all carry all our fears around with ourselves all the time . We’ve been studied deeply. Those who want to control us know how to use our Fears to control us.

    Fears and stresses structure our daily routines. We’re mostly unconscious of them, that’s why we’re easily controlled when we should be resisting, revolting against “mandates”…

    I wanted to respond to “‘Mass formation’ is simply one of thousands of high-falutin terms academics feel compelled to come up with, because otherwise they’ve got nothing.”

    I agree with you that the “mass formation” concept is not an actual evidence based idea. However, not all academics in our groups use this term. I am proud to be part of a group of professionals in the field of psychology and health care throughout the world who have researched the actual psychological methods used to alter behavior.

    We have noted that officials all over the world have not only used behavioral science to make a change but they have also declared that they use these methods. They use concepts based on the nudge model (Thaler and Sunstein). They also use psychological threats such as job or career loss. In Canada regulatory colleges have written and actualized threatening statements warning nurses, physicians, and other professionals in the field health care as well as psychology not to speak up against the narrative. (I will attach one of the letters sent to professionals. They targeted nurses first).

    Like you, many academics agree that theories of mass formation inclusive of a hypnotic or psychotic states are baseless. Many of us recognize the existence of evidence based and effective models used currently.

    AWESOME TRUTH!!! Or as we used to say back in the US Marines: do i look like i have tits on my back?

    Invariably, the answer was, well no, so then STOP tryin to *uck me-mentally or otherwise.

    I personally believe many of the so-called cv19 deaths were actually caused by the 5G rollout. The pulmonary embolisms were indicative of a high-frequency emp or electrical shock.

    This entire charade was a massive, well-planned, highly orchestrated fraud. Those (event201 = covid-19) responsible MUST be held accountable. Nuremberg Code violations including genocide.

  22. A Reader emailed me the following comment:

    ~~~

    Spot on Jon! I’ve been saying this since the term first appeared and I took exception to it. Actually it always appeared as the phrase “Mass Formation Psychosis” (say MFP) so the “mass” described the concerted, somewhat contemporaneous manifestation of a psychosis across a certain percent of the target audience, the part that succumbed to the propaganda. But did they act psychotic?

    I didn’t see this as any kind of psychosis in the classical sense. The people behaved with a definite degree of rationalization concerning their new behavior. Based on what they newly believed, they rationalized similar behavior to other similarly influenced people. But gee, that’s what Sunday sermons and political speeches are aiming to do. Set the whole audience off on a new path or quest, or at least a new realization and belief. If the people follow the lead, they rationalize their new behavior. They are not psychotic though. The whole concept that MFP is a psychosis is just ludicrous.

    I think it’s another of thousands of cases of people trying to sell their ideas (or discoveries) regarding Covid, and it’s been a very competitive world out there, especially for the conservative writers trying to find a niche to “reveal” to their audience so they can both titillate and keep their audience. Tough world for the on-line writer these days, no?

    You left one thing out: The individuals who donned their individual masks care intensely what other people think of them, and they fear encounters with Karens. It’s their intense desire to conform that forms them into a mass.

    Dear Professor Phd Doctor Mister Jon Rappoport,

    You made my day!

    You read my thoughts about that mass psycho-babble stuff showing up out of nowhere.

    Granted I did look into it for many hours and read the book and it is ‘interesting’, however
    it does not point the finger at the nitty gritty of it all: A crime scene,
    of collossal size with the perpetrators and the receivers of the bat swung at them
    in plain sight! And it kind of puts the responsibility on the receivers of the crime
    as all new agey, new cagey, theories tend to do as well all in the name of love
    and wanting to ‘free’ peoples from themselves and their experiences.

    It is a good way to keep your job as you well pointed out and it does feel
    like some kind of mind ‘fook’, you know the word I actually wanted to write.

    At the same time though I would argue that some kind of hypnosis took place as
    those seeing the monster could not explain it to their loved ones who could not,
    would not see………..or hear for that matter. It is a miracle that the first question:
    Qui bono? and the second great tip to always look into: follow the money just
    did not ring a big fat bell to them. The adults in the room turned into scared
    little children waiting for mommy and daddy to show up which in this case was
    the state which according tot he title of a book is the most dangerous superstition.
    Those adults, well they look like adults and looks can deceive, swallowed the fear hook,
    line and sinker and that in great numbers.

    You could say the numbers of people who watch the telling
    you a lying vision machine and kowtow to their cube overlords in the corner of the
    living room somewhere or hanging out in their hand where the cube has then been
    transformed into a rectangular piece of machinery emanating their favourite frequencies.
    Thanks from the heart for your down to earth human obsevations and calling
    a spade a spade

    Have you read “Tavistock Institute – Social Engineering the Masses” by Daniel Estulin? I see parallels between your work and what he says in this book. A worthy read if you have not.

    Keep up the great work…it is inspiring!

    The majority of politicians are on board with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, Agenda 21, and are driving it forward with religious fervour. Many who have recently woken up took the covd-19 gene therapy shots believing with all sincerity that what the government and their scientific advisors told them was true. This is best described as misplaced trust of those in positions of authority. No doubt there are individuals in positions of authority who see the big picture and are acting with malice. Close to zero. The vast majority of people are simply complying with directives from above. They “believe” the rhetoric.

    Here’s my explanation of what’s happening for what it’s worth.

    Mass-formation is a state where a society can no longer reason and is incapable of seeing what is right before their eyes in plain sight. It occurs when a population is experiencing intense fear, anxiety and isolation, and is subjected to relentless propaganda. The population becomes detached from reality and reliant on those who create the fear and anxiety to provide solutions. They will redirect the anxiety of the population to a common enemy. Anti vaxxers, right-wing extremists, MAGA, Putin, China, etc.

    It’s occurring on a global scale.

    Politicians in Europe and America initially “believed” that by getting involved in Ukraine and placing sanctions on Russia they would weaken Russia economically and militarily. This would lead to the removal or the assassination of Putin, and the collapse of the Russian state. I’ve been telling people from the outset, it is a ruse, a stratagem by the cabal to bring down the Anglo-American world power, to make way for their one World Government.

    The compliant politicians in both Europe and America, no doubt very bright individuals, are willingly participating in their own demise and seem to be completely oblivious to it. The delusion, the stupidity, the blind ignorance of these politicians is mind-blowing! All Western governments are on board with the globalists one World Government. Agenda 21. Sustainable Development. What they fail to recognize is that the goal is to eviscerate the middle-class and depopulate the world by 95% in the process.

    P.S. The general public and those in authority no doubt observe discrepancies in the narrative and may well have questions. They quickly dismiss them and comply because they understand that questioning the directive isn’t going to work out well for them, it’s above their pay grade. People have been taught to respond this way their entire lives.

    P.S.S. We’re Facing A Perfect Storm! by design.

    Food & energy shortages, supply-chain collapse, financial stress and poverty, escalating civil unrest, civil war, a global financial collapse, climate and pandemic lockdowns, even the possibility of world war.

    We need to get prepared.

    My observation of the compliant is that they are, weak minded, weak hearted, and have little to no character.

    My opinion is cowards share in the guilt by aiding and abetting.

    I like Jon’s article better than my summation, I just put it down to simple Propaganda, the World’s full of it, just like S%$t and BS, it tends to come out of peoples mouths on a daily basis.

    You are undergoing a mass formation yourselves when you say that other people are not undergoing a mass formation.

    Well that was entertaining! Thanks!

    Of course..fear…the only thing that would turn world-wide otherwise sane people into dumitrons (made-up word).

    But….we as a “pack” have innate sense to follow leaders in times of fear….now of course…let the new leaders emerge and let the Truth guide.

    My motto: “Mother Nature Doesn’t Do Stupid!”

    Here is a pertinent, although not contemporary, read for you: Book by Wilhelm Reich, “The Mass Psycology of Fascism”. Try to find it in your local library!

    Media Bullshit (MBS) is the intellectual term for what requires in depth analysis. Don’t let your TV go to waste. Watch it when you get hungry.
