In this video we are going to explore the most dangerous of all psychic epidemics, the mass psychosis. A mass psychosis is an epidemic of madness and it occurs when a large portion of a society loses touch with reality and descends into delusions. Such a phenomenon is not a thing of fiction. Two examples of mass psychoses are the American and European witch hunts 16th and 17th centuries and the rise of totalitarianism in the 20th century.
This video will aim to answer questions surrounding mass psychosis: What is it? How does is start? Has it happened before? Are we experiencing one right now? And if so, how can the stages of a mass psychosis be reversed?

Or how about, “if you want to hate someone, commit an injustice against him. If you don’t yet hate him, commit another. After four or five injustices, you are sure to hate him thoroughly.” (from memory)
Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.Frontpage Interview with Dr. Theodore Dalrymple: Our Culture, What's Left Of It interviewed by Jamie Glazov [August 31, 2005]

Yes, like that...
I lied like a mother-f@#$er when I was a child. I just thought that was what I had really wanted to happen, and insisted that it did.

Jesus is my judge and advocate, if I have any chance at being salvaged instead of salvo’d, for my own mistakes.
I tell people, You may forget a lot, but try to remember that Jesus is living water. And to help me remember, I write:
Prefer God
Love truth
Be kind
Jesus is living water,
the well of Bethlehem,
by the gate,
satisfying the thirst of David,
nearby the Siloam Pool.
I saw that 3 years ago and was blown away.
