Gee whiz... Global One World Government founded on lies to control... Sounds to me like what the Blessed Virgin warned those girls in Garabandal about. Echoes of Fatima, too, of course.
I've seen it, it's great... just, unpacking the whole site directory into one comment seems a titch spammy. nbd, here's another couple of big-picture clearinghouse sites:
I listened to a one hour interview on Rumble given by Dr. Mattias Desmet who spoke in great detail about mass formation. The high levels of discomfort at everything I've seen and heard in the last 2 years suddenly made sense. I couldn't quite articulate for a long time what was happening but Dr. Desmet explains it perfectly with his mass formation theory. The problem we have now is how to get out of it without sliding into totalitarianism because the many people who are under the trance of mass formation are not going to give it up easily. Ever try to pick up a cat that doesn't want to be picked up and it hangs on desperately with its claws? That's what the masses are doing with their Covid-19 narratives.
The people who are under the trance of the mass formation are not going to give it up easily...and the people who deliberately scared the hell out of them and created the mass are not gong to give up easily either.
But truth arrives, no matter what. At the moment Omicron has made a mockery of the entire vax effort. Those who have been tripled and then get ill know truth. It's unsettling to discover that they were not protected by the jab nor all the theater that they embraced. Seeing the explosion of infections with a small percentage now arriving at the ER is becoming such a story in itself that can't be washed away with spin. And in the US we are just seeing the tip, the start. Every dense population center is exploding and it will come soon to all our doorsteps. Those who read these SStacks know Vit D, Q, Zinc and may have milder case. Recently boosted may rest easy for a few weeks but it's coming for them as well, just delayed. Early March will bring new hope.
Dissolving the fear and anger will be almost impossible but we can work to redirect it towards those decision makers who bet the farm on vaccines being the single and ultimate solution. I believe the message ‘the vaccines didn’t get us out of the pandemic so where is plan B?’ can resonate with a lot of people.
I’ve been looking back at how my (Dutch) government developed their focus over time and I found that they spoke of vaccines and medication as the two possible solutions up until late 2020. When the vaccine study results started coming out, they chose that approach and have never looked back.
Even at the time that was a foolish choice - the vaccines were never shown to prevent serious disease and death, they weren’t shown to prevent transmission, and they weren’t shown to have a long-lasting effect. Let’s also not forget the risk of fundamental flaws, fraud, scandals that would discredit the entire study.
All in all, it was highly irresponsible to chose the vaccines as the only solution based on so little evidence. We must ask the question: which alternative solutions did you prepare, in case the vaccines didn’t turn out to be perfect?
Mark Twain once said something to the effect that, "It's far easier to fool people than to convince them they've been fooled." Once again, the American Sage was spot-on.
Excellent article!! 2 things - For my fact checking I have resorted to my Substack Subscribers - https://coronawise.substack.com/p/request-fact-check-for-fareeds-take - just posted today. 2 issues - 1 is the quaxinated people do get Omicron, but they believe the shot make it more mlld - so fits their belief system - the other Q I don't know, Fareed and NPR and the propaganda are saying Omicron is more severe and dangerous for the unquaxinated so everyone should rin out and get their quaxines, even if they have Omicron - (a case of Natural immunity Denial Disorder - https://coronawise.substack.com/p/natural-immunity-denial-disorder
Second point - I am a psychologist who has studied manipualtion fo fear and have a piece coming out soon on Desmet's work on mass formation. He never used the word
"psychosis." He used mass formation and mass hypnosis of 30%. I believe there is "mass hysteria" - but not "psychosis.
agreed on the use of the terms, but that seems to be trying to sidestep the larger issue around mass formation by using a sort of semantic dodge.
this feels like the sort of cheap "gotchaball" that gets used to devolve actual debate into rhetorical mazes and post modernist tail chasing.
i suspect malone (and others) conflated some terms and drifted them together and may have have used them inaptly.
and to say that seems both reasonable and accurate.
but this also seems like a poor pretext to use to attempt to discredit the full underlying idea and by false equivalence, notions of mass formation as well.
this is the tactic i find so tiresome.
"because i can pick this nit, all is disproven."
because no one knows the term "mass formation psychosis" we can pretend that "mass formation" or "mass formation hypnosis" or whatever other terms of art are not occurring.
to my mind, this seems like a shabby trick. (and another layer of gaslighting)
i'd be curious to see your piece on desmet when it comes out if you don't mind sharing.
Thanks for responding Send me your email address or write me at ConscisouPoliticsDC@gmail.com - it will be on Transcend Media Service tomorrow - but had to be 1500 words so I will revise it for Substack. The term "psychosis' is problematic and not appropriate - more like public witch burnings, lynchings and gas chambers. I wanted to be a vet when I was 12, went to the Phila dog show every year and sneezed. Please don't hold that against me. I switched to humans anyway.
I have preferred the use of the word hysteria. Nice look at Fareed, poor fellow can't help himself. The evidence everywhere suggest a negative VE and some degree of OAS. We have yet to see if OAS to SARs-CoV-2 has other effects.
Look, a bunch of them are chained to the masts with blackmail, and have no choice but to go down with the ship. They don't like looking this stupid, there's just nothing left. The narrative is so threadbare, and it's starting to rip. As for the rest, well yeah they really are that unimaginative and gormless, and they're all in for a wild ride.
And this is what Reuters fact-checkers are REALLY trying to say: "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." - George Orwell
"Propaganda doesn't exist and if it did it wouldn't work" is a pretty bold stance.
But I saw the 'fact check' on covid tests popping positive with tap water -- they assured me that didn't mean covid was in the water. They were conveniently silent on what it meant for the tests that they would pop positive with water. That's a whole new level of 'fact check' shame.
Remember back in the day when everyone got sick after Christmas and we had two names for it? “The Crud” and “A Bug That’s Going Around?” And treatment was a cold wet washcloth on the forehead, Vick’s Vapo Rub, 7-Up, ice cream and lots of daytime television. No DNA sequencing, no shots, no lockdowns.
Or kid with no symptoms, but test says positive, so quickly shoveled into the trunk of the car, the (over)reaction of high school teacher/mom = Priceless!
This is simply hypothetical on my part but I believe they blatantly and publicly lie on purpose in order to demoralize the masses into submission. The Ghislaine cover-up trial was another example where they basically broadcast that they can and will get away with any and everything because they can and there is no real justice served. She was the Fall Guy. Tony Fauci is another example. So is Bill Gates. Two guys that should have been picked up for questioning months ago. This is a continuing psy-ops of them sticking their middle finger in our faces on a daily basis because they can. Distilled down this is Terrorism on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. The perpetrators feel and act like they are impervious to any retribution and want to make all of us feel helpless
"Mass Formation Psychosis" is a bit of a trap. If you try to use the term with anybody who buys into the covid hysteria, you are just going to get bogged down in semantics. In fact, my understanding is that the inventor of the term is already trying to walk back the"psychosis" part since it doesn't fall under the definition. I think we should just use the term "mass hysteria' since it doesn't require further explanation.
Indeed, Dr Malone acknowledged that he was using it in error, and has stopped using "psychosis" in his more recent interviews (but still gives just as cutting a description of "mass formation" as ever).
I take fact checkers at face value. When they are tagging something as false I know it is definitely true. Hell, I wouldn't even notice some things, if not for them.
"if “experts” are truly expert why do they fear engagement? and if they will not engage, then how are we to take them seriously?" That should be shouted over and over and over.
And a little tidbit: Jim Smith - Chairman of Thompson Reuters Foundation sits on the board of Pfizer.
How inconvenient the truth is. The actual truth. Not their bull.
If you think about it, these "fact-checkers" are not smarter than most people here. That is putting it nicely. You can verify their Covid "facts" in the past 2 years. The scoreboard is hugely negative. They are basically paid propagandists. Like their compatriots in Red China.
The group mind has been characterized as individual minds, forming groups by mingling and fusing, give birth to a being, psychological if you will but constituting a psychic individuality of a new sort.
Many theorists from various disciplines have argued in one form or another that groups, … have a life or existence quite separate from the individuals" who comprise them. This phenomenon has been called many names: group mentality, group theme, group metaphor, universal mind, group mind, and more recently terms such as group coherence, and collective resonance have been used to describe a group mind.
Academics who do not run groups have no sense of how groups work or the potential for higher order development, which by the way cannot be measured! Here are a couple of examples.
John Phillips, in his autobiography of the Mamas and the Papas, a 1960s rock band, characterized this emergent quality of generative groups when describing a rare moment when the band was performing and all four of its members were singing in harmony. He related, "it was almost as if you could hear a fifth voice." This glimpse into the potential of groups suggests the emergence of a collective spirit or group mind.
Another example of a group mind -- a group of six researchers who met over time to discuss and synthesize the research data they had collected:...
"through dialogue with each other, our interpretations were enlarged. The interpretation was not simply the aggregate of the six people's ideas. The scope of the understanding and the direction that emerged, while obviously dependent on the six individual perspectives, was not merely additive: like a tapestry the interweaving of perspectives, led to a richer and fuller picture than six individual threads. .. . As a result, we were never stuck for any length of time, the level of energy and excitement remained high, no one felt unduly burdened, and we were able to move through the process more quickly than if this had been an individual endeavor. In a real sense the project seemed to have a life of its own and was a support for us rather than a chore."
In dysfunctional groups the group mind that emerges is less than the sum of the parts. This is a regressive group and very susceptible to mass formation. We have witnessed this throughout history, the witch burnings, the german people during World War II, and now those who are entranced by the vaccines.
Maybe hysteria, but that suggests to me there is still an ability to address it, to perhaps overcome it. Psychosis suggests to me it is out of one's control. Egregore - what a wonderful word -thanks! Here's an example of an egregore I have always been fascinated by - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_experiment
New Zealand doesn't worry about fact checking. Their media was silenced via a $55 million bribe to produce "quality content and public safety information". They also ransacked the home of a pastor who posted a youtube video saying the government's public health response is totalitarian - talk about thick irony.
Data from the UK Health Security Agency shows you are wildly more likely to catch COVID with vaccination than without:

7 jan am boston news: 60% w/covid hospitalizations are fully vaccinated.

They got rid the the 30% of unknown vax status in the ICU (impossible given we all have a govt health # that tracks EVERYTHING).
Funny, theyre jumping over themselves to figure out ways to obfuscate the data and it still looks bad for the vaccinated. Alberta has been counting ALL cases under 12 as unvaccinated despite their own charts showing hundreds getting the virus post vaccine
I think when they started to track vaxxed vs unvaxxed hospitalizations and cases, they didn't expect it to look like it does now.

All true. The question is, how many are really part of the mass formation? Is it just 30%, or could it be much larger?
those that are mass formed are more like dogs with bones...let's not get cats and dogs mixed up for el gato malo's sake

An honest question is whether the covid hysteria actually becomes a mass psychosis.
Well, the general response to Covid seems psychotic to me, so…
Maybe "neurotic" might be closer?
That's it! That is the term I'm using from now on. "Mass Neurosis".
Mattias Desmet never used the word "psychosis". It was added on by others, and Desmet has corrected them.
Indeed, Dr Malone acknowledged that he was using it in error, and has stopped using "psychosis" in his more recent interviews (but still gives just as cutting a description of "mass formation" as ever).
