So, in summary, leftist is a mental disease.

It is the result of an intensive well-synchronized and coordinated campaign to program the thinking of the mass audience. Notice when you watch network news, you don’t get information, you get pieces of a narrative. The talking heads don’t tell you what is happening, they tell you what you are supposed to think about what is happening. Big difference. When government officials are questioned, likewise, you do not get answers, you get pieces of the same narrative, which you are supposed to believe and not question. Your children when they go to school, they don’t get educated, they get programmed by some pretty vile “teachers,” who don’t teach thinking but rather what to think. Many people around you, from your friend to the idiot at Starbucks, lean the same way and makes you feel uncomfortable if you don’t comply and conform.

I think people do want the truth but have no firm idea what it is because they have no anchors in objective reality that are validated and shared by the common community. The end result is, “truth” becomes elusive and flexible, whatever the Propagandists want it to be. Notice how we now have “fact checkers” and “climate communicators?” “Influencers?” All self -appointed, with no reason to be given credibility at all/? And we are reduced to such stupidities as “everyone has her own truth.”

This is not a psychiatric condition. It is a very understandable and testable social psychological phenomenon. Many people recognize, subliminally perhaps, that this is being done, and that dim awareness is what is driving all the excessive anger and hostility in the world. At the end of the day we still resist being told what to think and do.

As a cigar smoker I have also seen the anti-tobacco mass psychosis.

Some folks think that one whiff of tobacco smoke means instant death.

Mass psychosis - OR - a massive plan; used and exploited, scaring the clueless for benefits. Money. Control. Fraud Elections.

I have this Philip K. Dick quote if you click on my name:

The subjective world of one rather powerful person can infringe on the world of another person.

If I can make you see the world the way I see it, then you will automatically think the way I think.

You will come to the conclusions that I come to.

And the greatest power one human being can exert over others is to control their perceptions of reality, and infringe on the integrity and individuality of their world.

That is done, for instance, in psychotherapy...

If I invade your world you will probably sense something alien, because my world is different from yours.

You must, of course, fight it. But often we don't because a lot of it is subtle;

we just have intimations that our worlds are being invaded, we don't know where this invasion of our personal integrity is coming from.

It comes from authority figures in general.

Also, an amazing Terence McKenna quote on television:

Television is by nature the dominator drug par excellence. Control of content, uniformity of content, repeatability of content make it inevitably a tool of coercion, brainwashing, and manipulation.

The problem is that so many are TOTALLY UNGROUNDED from God’s absolute hard truths. People are floating through life like untethered balloons. Mental instability and delusion can be the only result.

A classic book in the investment field is “Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds”, written in the 1920”s.

A lot of the info comes from the book ‘The Rape of the Mind’

Meerloo’s best-known[2] book is Rape of the Mind,[1] published in 1956. The book received wide attention in part because it dealt with totalitarian applications of brainwashing techniques during the Korean War.[2]

Very good video and spot on. Those that are delusional will hold on and reinforce their delusions. I now understand what Facebook, Twitter … we’re testing. They were testing the ability to move society, digitally, into mass Psychosis. The determined between digital, MSM, experts, government reinforcement… that they could and have done so. They picked a topic 99% of the population can’t intelligently grasp and weaponized it.

I am not saying everyone vaxed were under a Psychosis but many now will not admit to be played as fools or sheep.

Interesting topic. Thanks CTC.

God said he would “send a great delusion.”

He didn’t say he’d send just one.
