You’re not the only one who has deep suspicions about this “crisis.”. There was a banking problem, but it could be resolved without the hysteria and angst to which the public has allowed itself to succumb - and without serious stress to the political system.

Perhaps “convenient” is not the right word. I prefer aggravated, and I believe aggravated by individuals who acted not to make money - although they did that - but to promote a political agenda. I have no proof of this, and as I’m not a conspiracy buff, I prefer to keep my suspicions to myself.

I am, though, a believer in the truth. I know the truth will come out, although I cannot say when. This I do know: if BO is elected and if - as I suspect - those who support him have a major share in the aggravation of this crisis, this country will rue the day it ever allowed BO in office.

Of course, I believe that even if he and his supporters are completely innocent of any complicity in this affair, the country will come to hate itself should he be elected. I believe history will damn this man; I hope and pray the country is not damned with him.

From page 16 of this article, the author quotes “Rape of the Mind” written by Joost Meerloo, a Psychiatry Professor at Columbia University who was an expert in psychological warfare, Communist brainwashing/propaganda techniques.

Here is what is said:

Rape of the Mind discusses psychological conditioning from World War II Nazi tactics, to Soviet Cold-War
theoreticians, to our own democracy. (See Chapter 2 – Mass Conditioning Through Speech, and Political
Conditioning.36 The Book also discusses the dangers of the real phenomenon of mass hypnosis:
Suggestion and hypnosis are considered by some to be a psychological blessing, but they can also be
the beginning of terror. Mass hypnosis, for example, can have a dangerous influence on the
individual. Psychiatrists have found several times that public demonstrations of mass hypnosis may
provoke an increased hypnotic dependency and submissiveness in many members of the audience
that can last for years. Largely for this reason Great Britain has passed a law making seances and
mass hypnotism illegal. Hypnosis may act as a trigger mechanism for a repressed dependency need
in the victim and turn him temporarily into a kind of waking sleep-walker and mental slave. The
hypnotic command relieves him of his personal responsibility, and he surrenders much of his
conscience to his hypnotizer. As we mentioned before, our own times have provided us with far too
many examples of how political hypnosis, mob hypnosis, and eveven war hypnosis can turn civilized
men into criminals.

I seriously wonder if the Biden gaffe is not a gaffe. They believe Obama will be President. Are they arranging a crisis when they think Obama takes over as President? Are they preparing people? Will it be such a huge arranged crisis as to play into sealing up his power on a permanent basis or perhaps advancing his power on a world scale. If you listen to Biden it does not sound like a gaffe but rather like he is programming people. I think this is really important.
