Baader-Meinhof Syndrome: The Disease You Almost Certainly Have
American Thinker ^ | January 6, 2018 | Gary Gindler

Baader-Meinhof syndrome is a relatively recently studied mental disorder. It was described as a psychological phenomenon about 20 years ago. The peculiarity of this phenomenon is that, unlike all other diseases known to us, it is not named after a doctor or a scientist, but after terrorists of the German organization “The Red Army Faction” (Rote Armee Fraktion).

This left-wing terrorist organization was founded in 1970 by bohemian Andreas Baader and journalist Ulrica Meinhof, and it has carried out dozens of murders, numerous abductions, and bombings. Some of the victims of the gang were a colonel of the U.S. Army, the attorney general of Germany, and the head of Deutsche Bank.

The name of the organization was chosen because of solidarity with the Red Army of the USSR, but often this organization was called simply the Baader-Meinhof gang. The ideological platform of the gang was Marxism-Leninism and anti-Semitism.

In 1994, an individual who had never heard of this bloody gang was hearing about them on radio and television twice a day. After that, he began searching everywhere to find references to these terrorists. With surprising ease, he searched for references to this gang only and discarded all other news as superfluous.

This is the psychological phenomenon (or illusion) of Baader-Meinhof: after a person has learned something new (however not just new, but rather exciting new), they begin to see these new events or ideas everywhere. The mind of such a person from the entire informational cacophony of the surrounding world starts to single out only what he is looking for. In addition, each new mention of the subject further strengthens his confidence that this new phenomenon or idea exists everywhere.

There is this historical reference from FBI informant who went underground with the Weatherman.

Key element to the “leadership” of the Weatherman and most ultra Leftie groups has always been upper middle class to Trust Fund Red Diaper Doper babies (an excellent living reference was former member Horowitz— always worth reading. He KNOWS who these people are).

One major example: Bill Ayers (whose father Chairman of Con Edison Electric, and who PAID for his legal bills in the Weatherman bombings, and a lot else. The freaking bastard still has his little Trust Fund from his no doubt hated father. What a little crap artist).

These are the people who have “matured” into the leadership of our Leftist insane agenda demo-rat party. Inclusive of the use and recruitment of the islamofascist Left and frank Communists (Bill De-Blasio, and Occasional Cortex the Weschester commie congressperson).

Here is Bernadine Dohrn on Russia Today mouthpiece of Russia— Ayer’s wife. The smirks on her pervo face is simply eerie. This harridan is still a freaking lying leftist scum... and now a “clinical lawyer” at Northwestern University (what the hell is that?).
And other clips about the Weathermen and their attacks, ending with FBI deep cover agent who was in the Weathermen and obamaumao’s pal Rashid Khalidi, who paid for obamauamo to go to Harvard. Many of the clips are during when obamaumao was first running, and lying the whole time. And his peeps are still in our fedgov, and need to be removed— on investigative leave or work probation if not outright fired for cause:

Like you, I was in Germany at the time of the Baader-Meinhof gang, living in Wiesbaden, home of the Federal Criminal Office charged with getting them off the streets. We had one attempted bombing incident at the local military community arts center which was near the Spa and Casino.

Same with running an ad... the first two times there’s limited response because people don’t think they know your company. The third ad works because (even though they still don’y know your company ) they feel they do...

Yeah, kind of a bad example.

What is coming is an expose showing that what happened to the Trump campaign was a small part of a much larger corrupt enterprise, with tentacles everywhere throughout government and media, all scratching each other’s backs, and kind of working together to keep each other in power.

Now they are saying Ted Cruz got the same treatment by FBI/CIA/Obama/etc, which probably means Bernie got it as well as every Republican candidate. Sharyll Atkisson, Michael Hastings, Andrew Breitbart, and it will go much, much further. Eventually it will probably track back to Poppy Bush, Governor Bill Clinton, The GOP, DNC, COnservative publications like Bill Kristol’s, Mena, Benghazi, Gun Control efforts, and maybe even JFK.

It is coming, and this one is probably trying to set the stage to say, if you think all of those had a single entity behind them, looking to get power, you are mentally ill.

Who in history has, when faced with a concept, chosen not to argue the concept, but to pathologize those who held it?
