The Covidian Cult
CJ Hopkins
One of the hallmarks of totalitarianism is mass conformity to a psychotic official narrative. Not a regular official narrative, like the “Cold War” or the “War on Terror” narratives. A totally delusional official narrative that has little or no connection to reality and that is contradicted by a preponderance of facts.
Nazism and Stalinism are the classic examples, but the phenomenon is better observed in cults and other sub-cultural societal groups. Numerous examples will spring to mind: the Manson family, Jim Jones’ People’s Temple, the Church of Scientology, Heavens Gate, etc., each with its own psychotic official narrative: Helter Skelter, Christian Communism, Xenu and the Galactic Confederacy, and so on.
Looking in from the dominant culture (or back through time in the case of the Nazis), the delusional nature of these official narratives is glaringly obvious to most rational people. What many people fail to understand is that to those who fall prey to them (whether individual cult members or entire totalitarian societies) such narratives do not register as psychotic.
On the contrary, they feel entirely normal. Everything in their social “reality” reifies and reaffirms the narrative, and anything that challenges or contradicts it is perceived as an existential threat.
These narratives are invariably paranoid, portraying the cult as threatened or persecuted by an evil enemy or antagonistic force which only unquestioning conformity to the cult’s ideology can save its members from. It makes little difference whether this antagonist is mainstream culture, body thetans, counter-revolutionaries, Jews, or a virus.
The point is not the identity of the enemy. The point is the atmosphere of paranoia and hysteria the official narrative generates, which keeps the cult members (or the society) compliant.
In addition to being paranoid, these narratives are often internally inconsistent, illogical, and … well, just completely ridiculous. This does not weaken them, as one might suspect. Actually, it increases their power, as it forces their adherents to attempt to reconcile their inconsistency and irrationality, and in many cases utter absurdity, in order to remain in good standing with the cult.
Such reconciliation is of course impossible, and causes the cult members’ minds to short circuit and abandon any semblance of critical thinking, which is precisely what the cult leader wants.
Moreover, cult leaders will often radically change these narratives for no apparent reason, forcing their cult members to abruptly forswear (and often even denounce as “heresy”) the beliefs they had previously been forced to profess, and behave as if they had never believed them, which causes their minds to further short circuit, until they eventually give up even trying to think rationally, and just mindlessly parrot whatever nonsensical gibberish the cult leader fills their heads with.
Also, the cult leader’s nonsensical gibberish is not as nonsensical as it may seem at first. Most of us, upon encountering such gibberish, assume that the cult leader is trying to communicate, and that something is very wrong with his brain. The cult leader isn’t trying to communicate. He is trying to disorient and control the listener’s mind.
Listen to Charlie Manson “rapping.” Not just to what he says, but how he says it. Note how he sprinkles bits of truth into his stream of free-associated nonsense, and his repetitive use of thought-terminating clichés, described by Robert J. Lifton as follows:
The language of the totalist environment is characterized by the thought-terminating cliché. The most far-reaching and complex of human problems are compressed into brief, highly selective, definitive-sounding phrases, easily memorized and easily expressed. They become the start and finish of any ideological analysis.”
Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism: A Study of “Brainwashing” in China, 1961
If all this sounds familiar, good. Because the same techniques that most cult leaders use to control the minds of the members of their cults are used by totalitarian systems to control the minds of entire societies: Milieu Control, Loaded Language, Sacred Science, Demand for Purity, and other standard mind-control techniques.
It can happen to pretty much any society, just as anyone can fall prey to a cult, given the right set of circumstances.
It is happening to most of our societies right now. An official narrative is being implemented. A totalitarian official narrative. A totally psychotic official narrative, no less delusional than that of the Nazis, or the Manson family, or any other cult.
Most people cannot see that it is happening, for the simple reason that it is happening to them. They are literally unable to recognize it. The human mind is extremely resilient and inventive when it is pushed past its limits. Ask anyone who has struggled with psychosis or has taken too much LSD. We do not recognize when we are going insane.
When reality falls apart completely, the mind will create a delusional narrative, which appears just as “real” as our normal reality, because even a delusion is better than the stark raving terror of utter chaos.
This is what totalitarians and cult leaders count on, and exploit to implant their narratives in our minds, and why actual initiation rituals (as opposed to purely symbolic rituals) begin by attacking the subject’s mind with terror, pain, physical exhaustion, psychedelic drugs, or some other means of obliterating the subject’s perception of reality.
Once that is achieved, and the subject’s mind starts desperately trying to construct a new narrative to make sense out of the cognitive chaos and psychological trauma it is undergoing, it is relatively easy to “guide” that process and implant whatever narrative you want, assuming you have done your homework.
And this is why so many people — people who are able to easily recognize totalitarianism in cults and foreign countries — cannot perceive the totalitarianism that is taking shape now, right in front of their faces (or, rather, right inside their minds).
Nor can they perceive the delusional nature of the official “Covid-19” narrative, no more than those in Nazi Germany were able to perceive how completely delusional their official “master race” narrative was. Such people are neither ignorant nor stupid. They have been successfully initiated into a cult, which is essentially what totalitarianism is, albeit on a societal scale.
Their initiation into the Covidian Cult began in January, when the medical authorities and corporate media turned on The Fear with projections of hundreds of millions of deaths and fake photos of people dropping dead in the streets. The psychological conditioning has continued for months.
The global masses have been subjected to a constant stream of propaganda, manufactured hysteria, wild speculation, conflicting directives, exaggerations, lies, and tawdry theatrical effects. Lockdowns. Emergency field hospitals and morgues. The singing-dancing NHS staff. Death trucks. Overflowing ICUs. Dead Covid babies. Manipulated statistics. Goon squads. Masks. And all the rest of it.
Eight months later, here we are. The Head of the Health Emergencies Program at the WHO has basically confirmed an IFR of 0.14%, approximately the same as the seasonal flu. And here are the latest survival rate estimates from the Center for Disease Control:
- Age 0-19 … 99.997%
- Age 20-49 … 99.98%
- Age 50-69 … 99.5%
- Age 70+ … 94.6%
The “science” argument is officially over. An increasing number of doctors and medical experts are breaking ranks and explaining how the current mass hysteria over “cases” (which now includes perfectly healthy people) is essentially meaningless propaganda, for example, in this segment on ARD, one of the big mainstream German TV channels.
And then there is the existence of Sweden, and other countries which are not playing ball with the official Covid-19 narrative, which makes a mockery of the ongoing hysteria.

I’m not going to go on debunking the narrative. The point is, the facts are all available. Not from “conspiracy theorist” websites. From mainstream outlets and medical experts. From the Center for Fucking Disease Control.
Which does not matter in the least, not to the members of the Covidian Cult. Facts do not matter to totalitarians and cult members. What matters is loyalty to the cult or the party.
Which means we have a serious problem, those of us to whom facts still matter, and who have been trying to use them to convince the Covidian cultists that they are wrong about the virus … for going on eight months at this point.
While it is crucial to continue reporting the facts and sharing them with as many people as possible — which is becoming increasingly difficult due to the censorship of alternative and social media — it is important to accept what we are up against.
What we are up against is not a misunderstanding or a rational argument over scientific facts. It is a fanatical ideological movement. A global totalitarian movement … the first of its kind in human history.
It isn’t national totalitarianism, because we’re living in a global capitalist empire, which isn’t ruled by nation-states, but rather, by supranational entities and the global capitalist system itself. And thus, the cult/culture paradigm has been inverted. Instead of the cult existing as an island within the dominant culture, the cult has become the dominant culture, and those of us who have not joined the cult have become the isolated islands within it.
I wish I could be more optimistic, and maybe offer some sort of plan of action, but the only historical parallel I can think of is how Christianity “converted” the pagan world … which doesn’t really bode so well for us. While you’re sitting at home during the “second wave” lockdowns, you might want to brush up on that history.

“Not a regular official narrative, like the “Cold War” or the “War on Terror” narratives. A totally delusional official narrative that has little or no connection to reality…”
Ha, ha, ha. Guess what CJ? You might want to snap yourself of your cult memberships. The Cold War, and the War on Terror were totally delusional official narratives, too.
It was a good read until you came up with these exaggerated mortality rates, because they are completely off. In Denmark and Scandinavian, between age 0 and 19, the mortality rate is 0%, we had a single dead person bellow age 50, he was in his 30′, just 1 person out of 300.000+ positive cases.
Mortality rate in Denmark if you’re bellow age 50 is therefore 1 in 300.000. I don’t really care about covid19 numbers outside Scandinavian because they are obviously not correct especially the early numbers from USA, Italy, Spain and Belgium.
I happen to believe both that the virus is very real and that the government response has elements of social engineering experiments in the spirit of “not wasting the crisis”. As aCuban refugee growing up in the United States, I was fascinated by mind control, marketing, mass persuasion and manipulation. I remember reading Solzhenitsyn explaining that when the Soviet government issued absurd reports on ever increasing production and prosperity, they never expected the public to believe those reports. Their animating purpose was to create an environment where people would repeat what they were told while still knowing they were lies. The party faithful would say, “this is the 27th year of record breaking industrial production and quality improvement”. No one believed it and that was the whole point. Compliance to power and complicity with the lie was more important than spreading good news. This is just one of the many ways the human condition becomes twisted and it has been this way since the fall of man. The truth, to varying degrees, is a fugitive from justice and is often accused of treason. Nothing changes. We can and must, with persistence, subtlety and humor, tell the truth. Let that grain of salt be our act of subversion. By the way, without agreeing with all parts of this article, it is clear to me that Hopkins is a gifted writer of rare insights.
why do you believe the virus is real? what are you basing your belief on?
Great question, Jess. Rappoport (No More Fake News dot com) writes that the Covid19 virus has not been isolated with its genome completely sequenced. The micrograph of such would be an electron microscopic study of sufficient sample size, unique in its characteristics so as to be truly unique and not an amalgam of various particles of specimen/tissue and/or adjuvants. The putative ‘gold standard’ of the PCR test for C-19 is inappropriately used as the technology of ‘cycling’ beyond 35X results in grossly false positive results, which suits the MS agenda.
Curated ‘Experts’ in the bio-sciences that are presented for public consumption of their propaganda, for the most part, KNOW this, if they’re aware of the technology and its intended purposes. Thus, you have the Hundreds of Thousands of ‘NEW CASES’ of Covid 19 the MSM touts as evidence of the existential threat to mankind. Don’t believe it; it’s to further the agenda for increasing control of the masses.
For those who are curious: research the co-inventor of the technology and the purpose for which it was intended. Karry Mullis, PhD Biochemistry who won the Nobel for Chemistry in 1993 is on video stating his views on the subject (UNLESS the Corporatist/MSM has taken it down recently). I saw the inventor speaking on the subject in the video.
If any readers herein this commentary have issues with this, I’m open to contrary ‘facts’, but please be polite as this is one of the main flaws of the ‘NARRATIVE’ of the MSM and the ‘SCIENCE’ that Joe Biden vows to follow.
well said. here is how that inappropriately used science causes people to lie (…when people say ‘Covid’ is hoax, sure at the higher levels, but at lower levels it’s people’s confirmation bias perpetuating the false narrative).
this week, my family received notice of an ‘outbreak’ at a family member’s care home. the ‘outbreak’ was ‘contact with ‘Covid”. apparently one of the staff or residents tested ‘positive’, so they locked down the entire huge complex. this ‘positive’ person is asymptomatic (aka healthy). so they are referring to ‘outbreaks’ as people who tested ‘positive’ but are not even sick. this positive ‘case’ will be reported to the government, as well as anyone they are in contact with as ‘cases’. so we have an ‘outbreak’ based on not even one person being sick. the person who reported this as an ‘outbreak’ thinks they are being a ‘front line’ hero by overreacting aka ‘staying safe’. and no one will call her out on her psychotic behavior, because they are all ‘good people’.
Covid-19 is a novel strain but it’s not the virus the world governments are pretending it is. You do not shut down the economy for a virus that affects 0.05% of the population. The truth is that the reason YOU know nobody who is sick or dying (as you would in a real Pandemic) is because the vast majority of people’s immune system can easily deal with CV-19.
Not to discount that older people with Covid, especially if underlying conditions exist. Having said that, if people in danger are given HCQ they stand an excellent chance of recovery. Let’s look at some hard facts. The WHO recently said the data world wide shows flu for 2020 is down 98%! really! I wonder why. They also turned around and now are officially saying that they do NOT recommend lockdown as a method to control CV-19.
The fact is that in Europe and the US, the tests are not fit for purpose because they pick up all Covid antigens in the blood from colds/flu and return a false positive. But even in the case where people have the novel Covid, they are asymptomatic or brush it off. Folks if we had a real pandemic the hospitals would be jammed with sick and dying and they are not. Nor in any US state or any world country.
what we have is a Casedemic where the false positive results are being used to feed the statistics to push a fake narrative by the governments and mainstream media
So what’s going on, why is most of the world and all of Europe, except Sweden locking down and doing serious damage to their economies if Covid-19 isn’t that bad?
The banking cables that run all the money in this world and always have, lost the WhiteHouse in 2016 for the first time since JFK. This set the wheels in motion of a War between Trump and the banking Cabals. Remember, the central banks of each and every country in the world are in private Hands, including the federal reserve. Privately owned by the people who control all the money in this world and have been controlling all Governments especially the USA forever.
So the bankers colluded with the Chinese CCP to release a novel Covid backed by the worlds main stream media.The objective was twofold, to kill Trumps record economy and remove him from office, and to act as a tool for the compromised countries of the world to follow the bankers instructions to wilfully go behind their peoples backs and damage their respective economies.
Why? Well the Bankers have been operating a giant Ponzi scheme, “the financial system” which has robbed thousands of trillions from everybody, basically forever. They told the world’s governments who are in debt that the system has crashed and they must bring in a new financial RESET based on a cryptocurrency blockchain digital currency.
The governments must comply or they will switch off the money supply. If you think they can’t do that your wrong, especially as the governments are run by weak and corrupt politicians who are also cowards. So they have damaged their people and economies in order to usher in the great financial reset and invoke the world economic forum/UN 2021/2030 agendas.
This does away with all Fiat currencies (paper) and moves everybody to a digital account. This account is to be linked to a digital profile (passport) that means your government takes control of your money, your privacy, your movements and your health. Think about it, if your in a digital currency you can be monitored and told you need to take government vaccines or reduce your carbon footprint, or you will be cut out of the system with nowhere to go.
This is exactly what the evil CCP operate in China where they treat 1.4 billion people as Serfs. This is exactly what the banker cabals want for you and everyone in this world. Total Control through a digital currency.
Right now as you read this the central banks of the world are producing CBDC. Central bank digital currencies under the pressure from the IMF banking cabals. The CCP have launched theirs last week of October 2020. The CCP desperately wanted this because they wanted the US dollar removed as the worlds reserve currency which will now happen because of the move to cryptocurrency.
The Fed is working on its digital dollar because the genie is out of the bottle now. Trump must and is taking on the cabals and the CCP. You in America are very lucky to have him because he’s the only world leader standing up to the evil bankers and their henchmen CCP China.
digital currencies can be done in such a way that they are totally anonymous like cash but that’s not what the bankers CCP want. Hopefully Trump does.
There is a lot I could say but know this. Never before in the history of this earth have so many got so much to loose because of pure evil trying to take away your freedom and the freedom of your children.
I know Trump will fight but as things stand most in Europe and the world are still asleep. They don’t get it. But they soon will.
Trump may very well be the saviour of not only the USA and the American dream, but also the whole world. After Trumps record election win on November 3rd, I hope he helps us in Europe because our governments are rotten and we need to wake up and stand up.
good luck to us all.
Unfortunately, we got stuck with dementia JOE! One year later nothing has changed with COVID and everything else is in a whirl wind spin for the worse.
Its actually because the world is running up against oil limits and particularly distillates, and governments are just trying to save what they can. Conventional oil peaked in 2005 and every since then it has been downhill. Fracking actually makes a loss on energy invested and is nothing more than a real estate scam that is propped up by debt and produces low quality oil. There are massive problems far beyond the fear of totalitarianism coming down the line. We are going down histoiry’s drain pipe like every other civilisation. Id say they are just trying to trim the fat by getting rid of superfluous things like air travel, hospitality etc and that’s what this is really about. The turn towards totalitarianism is actually a sign of the systems weakness, and a wave crashes right after the moment it reaches its greatest height. Expect the totalitarianism to only last in the cities as the system gets smaller and smaller and the regional and rural areas to fend for themselves.
Have you read Blip or Geodestiny? The authors have compelling evidence that suggests your thought is correct.
This viral outbreak is hardly a myth.
It has actually added ~2% to the annual human mortality globally, so 1/50.. Not something to sneeze at. That does not include the many left with chronic impairment and illness.
Certainly, the inevitable human panic and the shutdown have not been well managed by many countries, but the idea of doing nothing is not palatable for any sensible government.
The example of Sweden is not really very good because they are 16th out of 217 in the deaths/million league table (585) .. Up there with impoverished and/or poorly managed countries. cf Taiwan at 189th out of 217 with 0.3 deaths/million.
What is apparent is how this pandemic has awakened the sleeping authoritarian in so many .. Noticed how many little bosses there are about now?
To my mind, that is one of the most fascinating features of this pandemic.
ugh hyperbole and then shit analysis. of course, your agonizing doesn’t include deaths and misery due to lockdown. I suppose it’s progress, though, that covid cultists like you are no longer using the odious money vs lives canard.
what awakened the sleeping authoritarian is a ruling class drive to, once again, reshape society to its own ends, you stupid child. these authoritarians are them and their instruments, by design, not some unanticipated side effect.
Your brainwashed. The global mortality rate is perfectly stable for Covid type viruses. We had a spike in April 2020 but we have had bigger spikes 7 times in 16 years. Don’t you all get it? It’s in front of your eyes and your trying to find intellectual arguments to support the propaganda.
The only reason your not in the same position as Europe is that you have a president who will not join in with the huge plan to alter the social fabric of this world. The elites have been too rich and too powerful for too long. All those meetings in Davos were not for nothing. Look at the imbalance that exists within the US main stream media and the political parties. Stand back! Look. Is that normal in a healthy democracy? This is not about Donald Trump. It’s not even about democrat or republicans politics. This is Far Far bigger.
You and your children’s futures are at stake. Look at the empirical evidence. Look at the wold economic forum and UN’s 2021/2030 agendas. Listen to Klaus Schwabs videos on the Great reset. Listen to Bill Gates talking about population control and big pharma’s role in providing COMPULSORY vaccines to the world’s population.
You all need to wake up. This is really happening and most of Europe is under house arrest whilst the economy goes down the tubes. This is the precursor to cryptocurrency and universal income in exchange for debt forgiveness and signing away all rights to owning private property.
I am writing the truth in as many places as possible and millions of us on social media and elsewhere get it, but we need to reach billions. Do your own research. Your future and the future of your children depend on your ability to see through the lies and stand up for freedom and democracy.
Watch what happens after Trumps landslide win. Watch carefully and understand. The Dems have used a vote rigging system called HAMMER and SCORECARD. the current administration know about it. Hopefully they have been able to stop it. When Trump wins the Globalist establishment will not stop. If America falls the whole world will follow. What’s about to happen will cut the anchor points in reality out from under most of you.
Be strong but don’t mistake this for some conspiracy nut. Do your own research.
There are no conspiracies but also there are no coincidence either.
Good luck
What a load of mindless, fake referenced delusional bullshit
Found one!
Sumarongi your the bomb buddy that was good.
George, where’s your refutation if you truly believe it’s delusional? How and Why? Metrics that are not manufactured by the WHO, CDC, NIH, MSM, et al? Let’s share that rather than a summary dismissal.
the cold war and the war on terror are regular narratives? LOL
Covid is third in the series, bub. the struggle to make it a complete break with everything before it makes this silly and ahistoric. but since you equate hitler with stalin, clearly history’s not your thing.
Brilliant. Thank you 🙂
Good article. I’d love to be able to share this on social media but the inclusion of the one F-bomb will preclude that. Sorry, but it only takes one to negate the professionalism and credibility of the whole.
I actually survived the F-bomb, but the author’s cheap shot at Christianity in the penultimate sentenced definitely pulled his (haha) mask off.
islam not mentioned? The worst cult ever.
But instead poking on Christianity.
He may have a point:
Christianity (Paulism) is Paul cult, where as Jesus is the Truth.
Paul the Pharisee contradicts Jesus.
It wasn’t at all a cheap shot Nancy. Christianity literarily destroyed all freedom of religion in the ancient world, and took this all across the globe. This is simply history. If you dispute this, you don’t know your history.
catholicism and Christianity are not the same thing. Catholicism is paganism, while Christianity, believing that Christ died for your sins, is not.
There are only two religions in the world: the one where you believe on a perfect sacrifice for your justification(Christianity) and religion where you believe that your deeds could measure-up to God(all other religions).
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin isdeath; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
I survived the F-bomb, but the author’s gratuitous cheap shot at Christianity in the penultimate sentence dropped his mask for me.
I am not sure if it was a cheap shot at Christianity but rather the opposite. When Christians were the minority, they got heavily persecuted when trying to convert the masses to the “truth”?
What Christianity?
The Catholic with 350 years of persecutions of people who said the earth was a globe circulating around the sun. The Catholic Christianity who break every one and each of the 10 Commandments.
That Christianity?
Then Christianity maybe was heavily persecuted for a good reason.
“Sometimes people hold a core belief that is very strong. When they are
presented with evidence that works against that belief, the new
evidence cannot be accepted. It would create a feeling that is
extremely uncomfortable, called cognitive dissonance. And because it
is so important to protect the core belief, they will rationalize,
ignore and even deny anything that doesn’t fit in with the core belief.”
― Frantz Fanon, Black Skin, White Masks
It is interesting to note how the idea of herd imunity has been vilified when it comes to viruses. While at the same time relying on it when confronted with the glaring manipulations and misinformation within the official narrative.
The opening paragraph unfortunately describes the entirity of the Trump administration and its piblic personna, as well as any other arena in the public eye today:
“One of the hallmarks of totalitarianism is mass conformity to a psychotic official narrative. Not a regular official narrative, like the “Cold War” or the “War on Terror” narratives. A totally delusional official narrative that has little or no connection to reality and that is contradicted by a preponderance of facts.”
You could try being an adult and commenting on the subject at hand instead offering up tiresome fact-free TDS babble.
That 👆🏻coming from a cultist never Trumper with obvious severe TDS is quite hilarious. Thanks for the giggles ole son.
‘We don’t want no education, we don’t want no mind control’….all 65+ million of us “cultists.” We want facts, not truth, or was it the other way around, Joe.

Courts overrule anti-virus measures in Berlin. Germany has a federal structure and it is possible for Land-level courts to reject measures at least on their territory.
“A survey by ARD broadcaster found that two in three Germans want common rules across the country rather than a patchwork of regulations decided by states.”
It could have addedm however, that Germany was designed not to give too much centralised power, perhaps after the Third Reich experience.
Voting with the feet has always been a good democratic way.

Deranged article by WSWS. They want more lockdowns, and at the same time mention that winter is “the season when people stay inside more in poorly ventilated areas and diseases like COVID-19 spread and kill the most rapidly”. Yeah, and people don’t go out much in lockdowns, curfews etc.
Has it been established that the photos and video of people collapsed in the street are fake? Maybe they used nerve agents in Wuhan to cause this.
People don’t drop dead in the street from this. They have it alongside other medical issues and go south with varying degrees of gradually. Now then, the question of whether they die OF it or WITH it is another question. Whatever, working inside the system I have been shocked by the gap between. the reality on the ground and the reality in the media and parliament. PS locally Sodexo were advertising frantically for people to work in testing centres. Not long after BANG! we’re in the top ten area and an R rate of 1.6.
Seriously, I give up.
Those videos of people collapsing in China were primarily filmed in summertime hence the lush green trees in many of the videos. It’s great watching the anti Chinese try to square that peg into a round hole

As someone wholly opposed to totalitarianism I was rather startled to see my own religion listed here alongside Charles Manson, et al.
A “cult” is a closed, secretive group. Scientology is the opposite. You can walk into nearly any Church of Scientology and get a tour, wander around the Public Display Area and spend hours watching video after video in order to find out for yourself what Scientology is about.
In fact, one wonders whether the author is even aware of the fact the Church has an entire TV channel dedicated to answering the question, “What is Scientology?”
It is accessible to anyone at Scientology.tv, DirectTV’s Channel 320, the Church’s YouTube Channel or by simply downloading the app on any device and start watching.
In our present world of lies and confusion, it is not a bad idea to practice Look, Don’t Listen.
Today it is possible to find out for yourself what Scientology is all about—directly, from the Church itself.
As the current leader of Scientology, David Miscavige, states in the Introduction to the Scientology Network: “whatever you have heard, if you haven’t heard it from us, I can assure you we are not what you expect.”
In fact the stated Aims of Scientology are:
“A civilization without insanity, without criminals and without war, where the able can prosper and honest beings can have rights, and where Man is free to rise to greater heights, are the aims of Scientology.”
Does that sound psychotic to you?
Scientology’s stated Creed is as follows:
That all men of whatever race, color or creed were created with equal rights.
That all men have inalienable rights to their own religious practices and their performance.
That all men have inalienable rights to their own lives.
That all men have inalienable rights to their sanity.
That all men have inalienable rights to their own defense.
That all men have inalienable rights to conceive, choose, assist or support their own organizations, churches and governments.
That all men have inalienable rights to think freely, to talk freely, to write freely their own opinions and to counter or utter or write upon the opinions of others.
That all men have inalienable rights to the creation of their own kind. …
You can read the remainder at the Church’s website and decide for yourself whether it sounds sane or psychotic.
Anyone who cares to LOOK should find out for themselves that Scientology is actually the antimatter of totalitarianism. In fact, Scientology’s Founder penned two articles in particular that to my mind at least best describe the anatomy of the global totalitarian push currently underway and the personalities behind it: “Evolution of Totalitarianism” (http://legacyimgs.lronhubbard.org/eng/fightrae/page028.htm) & “Unite and Win” (http://legacyimgs.lronhubbard.org/eng/fightrae/page022b.htm).
There is also a relevant video presentation on the Scientology Network that describes the personality type the author of this article is pointing out, entitled “The Antisocial Personality / The Social Personality.”
As he is by far my favourite analyst and author on the subject of COVID, I thought I would try and find out what he sounds and looks like, so this is an interview with him.
My mental image of him was completely wrong. I thought he would appear overconfident and brash. Instead he appears a deep thinking man, who is taking COVID very seriously and looks worried. Not because of COVID, but the Totalitarian Control. I feel exactly the same.
“C.J. Hopkins: The Virus of Mass Destruction & Brave New Totalitarian Normal”
They are manipulating people to seek authority outside themselves forcing them to astray their own moral compass. They denounce the God within themselves and give their innate power away to an outside force. In that sense it is truly a spiritual war between God and the devil. Light versus dark. Love versus the absence of love.
Painfully true & very well said
very profound are you a Freemason?
You can be an educated, thinking person without going there.
I didnt mean necessarily a member of a lodge. I meant are you initiated into the tradition of Freemasonry or any other tradition for that matter?
I was really just stating the obvious – sorry if I appeared argumentative.
Generally, though, I think “initiation” is a pretty serious matter…
Myself, I have merely read about masonry. There must be few of us who don’t know someone in the brotherhood. It is certainly connected to some profound things.
Delusional
More pushback against lockdown in England – despite Starmer’s support for more lockdowns.
Excellent – although I think Sweden was given a pass, rather than not “playing ball.”
Their monopoly of the number one spot on the WEF “sustainability” league table, almost every year since its inception, proves their love for Big Brother. Now Belarus is rather different – hence the attempted CIA color revolution.
Nice to see someone else is retaining their sanity.
I wrote this a couple of weeks ago.
Technocracy in the Time of CoronaVirus – 2020 – A Litmus-Test for Human Stupidity. Witness the Craven Obeisance of Bootlickers for Obviously Corrupt and Malignant Authority.
Thanks for the link, appreciate your writing and share the sentiment.
Thanks for that. Appreciated. How to wake the sleeping masses? It drives me mad. Aarrrggh!
You cant wake them. However, a psyciatrist told me to constantly and frequently confront a mentally ill person with reality because they need it really badly to get a fixpoint.
You wrote:
“Quite clearly some kind of pathogen has materialised into the world (however that came about).”
How do you know that?
You’ll have to make yourself a little clearer. How do I know WHAT exactly? That some kind of pathogen exists? Or does your question relate to the “how it came about” part?
I would like to know why you believe in the virus.
What is about this virus or viruses in general that you find so compelling? From a personal or anecdotal point of view and/or a scientific aspect?
The first one. How do you know there’s a virus at all? If it exists, how do you know it’s a new one?
There are enough individually documented (as opposed to media-hyped) cases (and corpses) around the world … to be certain that SOMETHING is killing many people, in ways that are not, let’s say, “usual.”
Ergo (as I said) some kind of pathogen which isn’t usually killing people every year … IS killing people this year (with the caveat of the “flu” explanation below).
I am not one of those people denying the existence of “this thing” (whatever it is) … because to me, it is clear that SOMETHING is going down.
We could talk for ages through the issues of “it could just be the normal flu” … except renamed and re-hyped … but ultimately it doesn’t make any difference to the thrust of my article … which is, “never let a (pre-meditated in this case!) good crisis go to waste.”
The fact is this thing (the crisis) was planned, and the response to it is classic “Problem Reaction Solution” … engineered to usher in the “Great Reset” … which itself is fundamentally a takeover by the very worst technocratic elements of globalist elitist control.
Although I truly believe the PCR-test is the Achilles’ Heel of this whole thing (and that that deliberate disinformation can and should be debunked in time) … I think it’s more immediately important to call out the bigger story (and goal) … which is the obviously desired installation of a global technocracy.
Also as I explained in the article, I feel that way simply because once one views what is unfolding, through the lens of an incoming technocracy … (and after incorporating other factual information like Event 201) … it becomes transparently obvious that the CoronaVirus “happening” has been methodically planned, staged, and hyped accordingly.
Once people can see that … they’ll hopefully be more inclined to dig into the nitty-gritty of the existence, nature and origin of the “virus” itself.
In summation, it’s more a question of marketing, or persuasion.
When dealing with large swathes of cognitively-dissonant people, who are fundamentally fearful of what it will mean to question the narrative being peddled by “authority” … how does one get those people a little further “over the line” in terms of even being willing to question that narrative? After all, the fear, and the programming, are both powerful and deep … how does one break through those barriers?
In my view, having them understand the motivation (and the means to get there) … is probably one of the better catalysts available … to get them to make a cognitive jump of that magnitude.
I hope this makes things a little clearer. 🙂
Nope. The sheeple are trained to act aggressively on any kinds of attack to their warm sheed and daily hay.
Solzjenitsyn wrote the Sovjet people dismissed the daily news of war in Europe, then they dismissed the news of Stalin purges in side Sovjet and the Katyn Massacre.
First when a truck unloaded a bunch of mistreated dead Sovjet bodies from the war front on their doormatt, they realized something was wrong and coming close, and they grabbed a riffle and fought.
Thanks for that! I will share this veritable cornucopia of information with all of the people who love to ignore me! Ignore-ignore!
My pleasure. 🙂
Please share it far and wide. We need all the sanity we can get!

Best wishes!
this article is exceptional. BUT don’t mess up Jesus with all those lunatics around us who clearly have nothing to do with anything godly.
Jesus? Hardly relevant since it was probably not intended as an attack and the terminology used was most likely incorrect- in place of – the post Roman Catholic sect, which was the one which destroyed (via global genocide) “paganism” or nonbelievers!
Importantly, the “church” has now volunteered to go along with new NORMAL and even liquidate itself in many regions, e.g., Germany and CHINA
RC didn’t destroy paganism it embedded it. Look at symbolism in Rome and churches of Europe. All symbols of the ‘old’ religion re-badged as the new.
Well, depends what u define as pagan 🤔
Vatican sect has been incorporating many local traditions and believes
into their global cult including most recently some central American figures “blessed by pope”.
In Oceania and Australia these variations are very typical including songs, dances and figures!
Obviously a number of very particular symbols, which are not pagan, but Babylonian, are all over Vatican places of warship to….😈
Seems the author wrote “Christianity” … no sign of the word you used. There’s a difference isn’t there?
Lockdowns CAUSE Catastrophe.
If, as unicef suggest that 130 million children in over 20 countries will potentially die as the result of economic collapse.
Then that is proportionally 130 times more deadly than the virus if the 1 million mortaliy count is to be believed.
In ’68 ’69 Hong Kong flu killed an estimated 1-4 million (out of a population of 3.5 billion)
In 2020 with a populationn of 7.8 billion Hong Kong flu would have a mortality rate of 2.2- 8.8 million people & people coped with no measures and the economy remained intact.
Those who mask, distance & lockdown are perpetuating this ridiculous narrative and contributing towards what can only be an intended catastrophic economic implosion and worse.
Everyone appears to have been taken over by the corona madness.
All sense of perspective has been lost.
Well Christianity took just under 300 years to become the religion of the Roman Empire.
Few of us I think are willing to wait that long so probably not a good parallel!
as if that was a change for better? Jesus has become irrelevant to the Catholic pedofile luciferian sect!
Its important to notice the difference between organised false religions and true religious people.
Any church who constantly break the rules of the 10 Commandments are pharisees. Only those people who try honestly to keep the advises written can be called true believers.
There is nothing wrong with jesus and the advises in the Bible, but the parasitic pharisees.
I traveled from Fl to Michigan last week and above several interstates were lighted signs flashing “wear your mask, wash your hands, social distance”, We are now living in Orwell’s 1984!!! I will not comply!!! Count me on the island!
So…all the Covid deaths are made up by the WHO and other “globalist” bodies? Complete with staged video messages, naturally. I don’t doubt the reality of the pandemic, but neither do I doubt the totalitarian implications of the power being wielded by the capitalist states in response to it.
It is the alleged cause of these deaths that is made up, not the deaths themselves.

Meanwhile on the German Corona Front:
Positive test case rate increases significantly, intensive care patients declining.
.
Daily Situation Report of the RKI (The Robert Koch Institute) on Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)
Summary:
A good 97.5 percent of the tests give no result and among the positive results a relatively high percentage of false positive test results are likely to be found. In addition, a test says nothing about whether a person is infectious, whether they have symptoms, and if so, whether they suffer from mild or severe symptoms.
.
It is interesting to note that the number of patients diagnosed with Covid-19 in intensive care has increased from about 250 to about 600 since the warm weeks of August. Fortunately, this is still not a high level at all. In week 41 the number even remained constant or even decreased.
.
With positive test results, the death rates inevitably increase, and people with (the cause of death) Covid-19 also die.
But statistically people who simply had a positive test result die, and the more positive tests, the more often this will also be the case with people who die.
.
Note: Since the RKI counts every death with a positive test result indiscriminately as “corona death”, one must therefore keep this in mind.
.
To me it looks like more drama is created than is justified.
It is taking on a momentum of its own that can hardly be stopped.
The danger of further restrictions on freedom and further coercive measures, rises because people will probably gladly accept this trembling with fear.
Supposedly here in Mexico (Vallarta) they are getting over 2/3 positives! –
https://www.vallartadaily.com/puerto-vallarta-covid-19-positivity-rate-tops-67/
In Feb. of 2020 this new infectious “pandemic” disease would be named “COVID-19” by the WHO. Yet in 2017 & 2018 (mostly the latter) long before the current “pandemic” even existed, RT-PCR testing kits labeled “COVID-19” were being widely marketed & exported worldwide generating multiple Billions of dollars in profits, for a yet unnamed disease, that had never existed. The source of this global trade info is found in the World Bank’s archive. http://archive.is/tWO9A
The entire foundation of the SARS-CoV-2 “Pandemic”rests upon this testing procedure called RT-PCR. Its inventor Nobel Laureate Dr. Kary Mullis considered it to be useless as diagnostic tool. In his words: “There is a common misimpression that the [RT-PCR] viral-load tests actually count the number of viruses in the blood, [however] these tests cannot detect free, infectious viruses at all, they can only detect proteins…” which are expected or assumed to be, & not always correctly, unique to any given virus. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4172096/
https://off-guardian.org/2020/06/27/covid19-pcr-tests-are-scientifically-meaningless/
The RT-PCR test is :
i. Has no RNA from the virus its supposed to test for;
ii. Is incapable of identifying or isolating any type of virus;
iii. Doesn’t provide RNA sequences of viral pathogens;
iv. Offers no baseline (gold standard) for comparison
with patient samples;
v. & Cannot determine an infected from an uninfected
sample.
https://www.greenmedinfo.com/blog/busted-11-covid-assumptions-based-fear-not-fact
The CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel (07/13/2020, page 38) concludes:
“Detection of viral RNA may not indicate the presence of infectious virus, or that 2019-nCoV is the causative agent for clinical symptoms… This test cannot rule out diseases caused by other bacterial or viral pathogens.”
In this same Panel on page 39 we find out that despite millions of people supposedly proven to be “infected”, the CDC admits that it still can’t get its hands on an actual 2019-nCoV virus.
“Since no quantified [measureable] virus isolates of the 2019-nCoV are currently available, assays [diagnostic tests] designed for detection of the 2019-nCoV RNA were tested with characterized stocks of in vitro [laboratory] transcribed full length RNA…”
At one point, there was an attempt to rename the test RT-qPCR, where q means quantitiative. That effort seems to have been abandoned.
Now Beijing reports data from health commissioners just as truthfully as that on its economic growth.
“Following a new outbreak of the corona virus, the eastern Chinese metropolis of Qingdao carried out a mass test on ten million people within four days. The local health commission announced that 9.94 million samples had been collected, of which over seven million have already been evaluated, and 13 infections had been detected….”.
Wow-this must be the best PCR test in the world!
Wait, isn’t it a question of how often the PCR cycle is repeated? thus the false positive rate also increases exponentially…
Old technicians wisdom: Whoever measures crap measures crap and with viruses you can even “order” the error rate.
Wow, what utter crap! The false positive rate would be in the 100000s range, assuming the infection rate is that low! What blatant lies!
What’s going on with this never ending covid death rate in the USA?
3 Months ago this site claimed it was over but the death rate is still high and sometimes 1000 a day?
Most other countries are heading into winter and are seeing some spikes again in deaths but the USA seems to have had no respite even through summer.
Yeah I get that the numbers are fudged but many doctors were saying cases high deaths low but if you go by the stats 1000 a day is not low?
Are they that desperate to bring down Trump in a few weeks?
Yes it’s terrible isn’t it? Don’t worry, Jon Rappoport will put your mind at rest.
https://www.lewrockwell.com/2020/10/jon-rappoport/the-virus-that-isnt-there-has-a-hypnotic-effect/
Thanks for the link.
What’s the reason USA has seen such large numbers of deaths per day for so long with no end in sight while all other countries Death rate is a trickle after the spike?
Money per covid patient, bring down Trump, NWO or all of the above?
I predicted at the start in Feb the USA was going to be top of the list at worldmeter because I too believe it’s a con and the USA election was the reason.
I also believe it wasn’t just Trump but Brexit and the rise of populist governments around the world that needed a reset by these Marxists/communist socialists.
In order to make a judgement regarding “cases high-deaths low” it might help to look at both numbers! Is 1000 deaths a lot in a population of 330 million? It is subjective.
It is a fact however that even if we disregard the motor accident and gunshot wound victims and accept the alleged death toll, the number is still less per capita than the casualties caused by the 1957 Asian flu which is claimed to have killed 116,000 people in the US when the population was little more than half the size, at 172 million.
The 2020 equivalent number per capita is 223,000.
There is simply no way this is a once in a century threat that merits changing our lives forever, even accepting the highly dubious official numbers at face value.
1000 per day for more than 6 months is still a lot out of 330mil no matter how you slice it.
Like I said in my op I get the numbers are fudged but why?
American % of “Covid-19 Deaths”. =. 0.066% of the total population. High ?
From the CDC’s own website – the IFR (infection fatality ratio) for the over 70’s is between 0.028 and 0.054. 1K a day seems a lot but put into context those figures are miniscule. And that doesnt account for any of the creative number crunching of deaths ‘with’ rather than ‘of’.
I found this amusing from the BMJ.

Up here in Northern Europe face masks haven’t exactly been hot couture but in other places (Japan etc) people have been donning them for years – why?
Good question. Here in Cyprus there are quite a few young female workers from Vietnam, mainly employed as housemaids, and most of them donned face masks every time they went out even before the current nonsense started. I wonder why.
The Japanese have long had an ultra clean culture (bowing not touching, cleaning and use of masks when infected) and are highly responsible to others. Despite having a more limited test and trace system than the UK, and a larger older population, they have been almost completely successful in controlling the epidemic without affecting the economy to the same extent as Western nations.
https://twitter.com/stephen_latham/status/1316721523147841537?s=20
In 2018/9 Japan had a really bad flu season. Killed off low hanging fruit, masks had no effect. Also they regularly vaccinate elderly against pnuemonia, don’t use western immunity suppressing drugs, and generally eat better. Their health service is modelled on the German one, loads of local teams with responsibility.
Approximately 3,400 excess deaths were observed [in Japan] nationwide in the 2018/19 season, which was estimated to be similar to the average year https://www.niid.go.jp/niid/en/2019-10-04-07-17-22/865-iasr/9288-477te.html
They took the germ theory to heart. Many there – and to a lesser extent in other small affluent countries – are terrified of “germs”. They wear gloves, especially on public transport. One consequence has been a rise in gastro-intestinal diseases. A Jap professor proposed intestinal worm eggs as a solution, and demonstrated it on himself; the response was his people making him an outcaste.
However, contrary to propagnda, many Japanese do not wear masks and may even be too poor to do so.
I think the short answer is that of poor air quality. This seems to be the reason they are worn in Asia in general.
WHEN THEY ARE SICK.
None of this utter nonsense of “asymptomatic transmission”.
Not to disagree regarding asymptomatic transmission but no, they wear masks all the time, not just when ill and it was happening before C19. Foreign Asian students were literally the only people wearing masks in Canberra before any of this, and Canberra is not a badly polluted city by any stretch.
I was in Japan six years ago for work. 4 weeks, 5 cities. Only a few people at the airport and in the metro wearing masks. Haven’t seen any in the shops, or in the streets, or anywhere else. Of course it was a very short time, but still, after one month one would expect to see some more if it were really such a widespread habit.
Many Asian people wear masks when they themselves are sick, out of respect for others. It’s a different, more collectivist culture. Of course, it doesn’t make any actual difference to viral transmission, but then most human behavior is just following social norms and rituals and not bothered too much by “facts” or “science”.
I thought this was great but you are missing one very important thing; Almost all of the members of the “cult” believe that the measures that are being imposed are temporary.
The point is that regardless of how firmly they embrace the conventional MSM line about C19 and the response- no-one wants to live like this for the rest of their lives.
That is the great challenge for the owners, to convince the credulous masses that they must live like this for the rest of their lives, but all the rhetoric about a “once in a century” health crisis that was used to get people to submit to all these measures will only undermine the efforts to make them permanent.
It is a cult but only the tiniest minority of the membership accept the permanence of the changes they are seeking to inflict upon our societies.
That weakness represents an important opportunity for those who understand that this is intended to last forever.
If we can manage to explain to those without critical faculties that this is going to be permanent, they will reject it because the program runs directly against the way they desire to live their lives.
Those who oppose the program of tyranny are in the opposite position, we simply want them to be able to live their lives as they want-which is what they want.
The owners are the ones that are swimming against the natural tide of humanity, we are swimming with it.
At some point this is going to become a problem for the plotters.
True, although so far we have been in the initial, shock & awe phase. With time, I expect the plotters will come up with great marketing. It will make vaccines, chips and contact tracing look sleek, sexy, convenient and socially responsible. The masses will take to it like ducks to water.
Absolutely right, but the fundamental desire to do fun things is going to be hard to break.
I just don’t see them running with this forever. Sooner or later a reaction sets in.
Never underestimate the sheeple’s stupidity.
Perhaps a lot depends on where one lives. But if I were to base my prognosis on those in, say, the US state of Maryland, then I would argue that the people have already not only temporarily accepted the lockdown measures but would gladly accept them as permanent.
More and more I notice people not removing their masks even when they are safely out of a place where masks are mandatory. Nor do I notice people exhibiting signs of weariness and embarrassment walking around masked; rather, they proudly display their fealty.
It’s the same mentality that prompts the acceptance of school uniforms: people are spared the discomfort of having to choose what to do and whether or not to do it. Being forced means never having to think.
Howard is right. I see the same thing here in NYC. White middle and upper class people here LOVE the lockdown, masks, and all the antisocial aspects of it.
“Society” as we knew it is absolutely gone.
“ White middle and upper class people”
All the people you hate. Right?
I hate my own demographic? LOL ok… no idiot, all the people who have completely bought into this scamdemic and are driving it on the ground.
The white upper middle class mask-wearers might be explained by this recent Gallup poll:
https://news.gallup.com/opinion/gallup/321698/covid-responses-men-women.aspx
Mask wearing and CV19 compliance is higher in women, and far higher amongst Democrats than Republicans.
That makes sense; Democrats hold their ‘feelings’ close as that justifies the idiocy of their public policy prescriptions.
I used to start a conversation with Dems, especially Hard Left, with ”what is your definition of economics?’ I had much fun with that but it became tiresome, eventually. Now, many are out for blood with NO REASONing…just high emotion; I guess they forgot we’re human beings, as they sense they’re about to lose the argument by being challenged with reason and evidence against notions that give them great comfort..
All good points, but masks are a minor inconvenience compared with curfews, forced unemployment, banned recreation.
It certainly depends on where you are and it seems to me the US has gotten off fairly lightly in terms of tyranny.
In Australia, it has been very severe in some places.
The state of Victoria has had nightly curfews, work permits, one hour of recreation allowed per day and a 3 mile travel limit even for that hour you are allowed outside.
People are not taking well to that, even those who buy the C19 narrative.
“People are not taking well to that [in Melbourne]”
Really? What’s your support for this?
I think from the controllers’ perspective, they’re taking it with aplomb!
I know people in Melbourne, some with a very conventional world view. People who recoil in horror at the very mention of 911 truth want the Premier to resign.
One friend comes from a staunch ALP family, her Uncle was ALP Premier of another state and she wants the Premier to resign.
It is not overly scientific but I do take that as a sign of angst across the political spectrum,along with the rather obvious point that who in their right mind would be happy with a curfew, travel ban beyond 3 miles and forced confinement for 23 (now 22) hours a day?
I’m in no way criticizing or arguing with your observations, but the question then becomes how this public discontent manifests.
From the perspective of Megadeath Virus of Doom (MVD) scamdemic dissenters, the optimistic argument is that oppression elicits cumulative righteous anger and resentment that eventually reaches a boiling point of mass resistance– i.e. enough of the oppressed “rise up” in one form or another.
The pessimistic view is similar to the oft-used, if apocryphal, metaphor of frogs immersed in a pot of water that is slowly heated to boiling point; the moral of this story is that if the water is heated gradually enough, the frogs don’t feel a compulsion to jump out and get cooked.
To extend the metaphor some, the discontent here is comparable to the frogs– even normally placid, submissive frogs– croaking indignantly about the draconian MVD-justified tyranny, and incidentally experiencing some welcome solidarity as they croak in chorus. I ought to say “we”, I suppose, because I realize this applies to those of us who are gratified by posting comments about the crisis.
To add another twist, those who buy into the scamdemic also dispute or resent various specific restrictions. But they displace their angst by blaming the Phantom Menace of the MVD itself, and often blame the dissenters. So one sees bitter condemnations along the lines of “If everybody wore the damn masks and followed the rules, the pandemic would have ended long ago!”
So it remains to be seen whether the cumulative, escalating angst can be channeled in a way that forces the overclass to back down, or whether it will just bubble along in place until we’re cooked.
Well, I’ve made it half way out of the pot. I’m going for broke.
Then I’m going to find a nice pond somewhere over the rainbow.
And I still don’t understand the argument that if we all just followed the rules the pandemic would have ended!!
What difference would my wearing a mask make IF I’M NOT SICK?????
What difference would skin ravaging hand-sanitizer and walking out into the middle of the street when folks approach make IF I’M NOT SICK????
It’s just such a STUPID argument.
It’s not really an “argument”; it’s a delusion posing as an argument.
The terrorized, traumatized True Believers buy into the manufactured terrorist threat, and the official subtext that first and foremost, the public must scrupulously comply with the officials (who are only “following the science”), whose draconian proscriptions carry the implied meta-command that to be effective, they must be followed in lockstep.
So all of the paradoxes and contradictions are beside the point. Logic and reason have been replaced by surrealistic Through the Looking-Glass pseudo-logic. In the latter perspective, even non-symptomatic persons, aka people who aren’t sick, need to behave as if they are infected and contagious.
Apparently failing to adhere to this dictum just encourages the Megadeath Virus of Doom. That’s why we’re having a Second Wave. Dontcha see? 😉
“bullsht baffles brains”
OR, they are ‘on the menu’ for cooking.
You’re absolutely right. When I speak of the mask I usually mean it as a representation of this whole horrible miasma.
Two weeks in a row, have been hiking in the White Mountains of NH. People in their 20’s, all with masks, while walking in the mountains!
a moron is a moron is a moron…
The mask is a danger for any physical activity. So, if one of them collapses in the mountains far from others..
uneducated experience free animals are easiest to herd
The Machine is programming humans to be so accustomed and attached to masks, that they will feel the same shame as being naked, if ever glimpsed without mask in public.
I would say that programming is pretty much complete.
I walk around sans masque here in LA, and the horde indeed goggle in awe, as if I were shirtless. A few more weeks of trauma-induced-normalization, and I expect they will jeer at a bare face as if it were the “full Monty.”
I walk around in Brooklyn without one, and get verbally assaulted daily. It’s like living in an asylum now.
Or in, say, the state of Massachusetts. Oh my God, every day on my way home I go through my hometown. It has a big pond that people walk around all day.
Walk, run, bike. ALL MASKED. All of them. Ages, colors, shapes and sizes.
This is unity folks. This is the Star Spangled Banner. This is the World Series.
Seriously, do any of you ever wonder if you are completely crazy? If maybe you really are a deslusional denier?
Because, still, 7 months on, I cannot believe what I see.
I’ve been wearing the same disposable mask since April, when Gauleiter Wolf brought down the hammer.
True, I’m one of those cowards who only puts on the mask to avoid hassles when I’m entering the supermarket or smaller food market at the strip mall a couple of blocks from my home.
FWIW, as I’ve often mentioned over the weeks, here in this Philadelphia, PA suburb the shoppers are obediently masked– at least inside the stores. I do notice that a lot of shoppers don’t keep the masks on outside the stores; both masked and unmasked can be seen in the walkways and parking lot.
But when I glance at or skim the abundant “Helping You Through COVID” articles about The Importance of Proper Mask Maintenance and Sanitation, I laugh. Based on the applied germophobia in these articles, by now the ratty, pocket-lint studded thing I put on my face has long since become medical waste that should’ve killed me a dozen times over.
I did get an ass-kicking flu in January, and I’m certain it was the alleged COVID Megadeath Virus of Doom. But despite months of covering my mouth and nose with medical waste, I’ve been fine.
Watch it, Ort. Because next they are going to develop an app, or some kind of door monitor at supermarkets, that can determine the efficacy of face masks.
That pleasant voice-over lady we hear constantly now will make pronouncement as alarms start sounding about the need to wear new and efficient face masks FOR THE PROTECTION OF EVERYONE.
‘Cuz we’re all in this together.
We logical thinkers who believe in freedom and quality of life had better figure out a way to get together, and soon!
“‘Cuz we’re all in this together.” Yep, I’m now looking for a surrogate for when the ‘grim reaper’ calls, ‘Cuz we’re all in this together./sarc

Hey there.. same experience for me. I’m in San Francisco CA which used to be a beacon for free thinking free spirited people and all the weird culture one could appreciate. Now it’s like Stepford wives everywhere.. except for a few pockets of rebels.
There are still those white circles in the park outside my apartment which I can see from my 3rd floor window. And which infuriates me daily.
The wives/girlfriends and their obedient husbands/boyfriends gladly sit in these circles near the “I’ve Got You Covered” sandwich boards placed on every corner of the park. They’re all “in this together“ !
I’m a barely employed musician now who owes many thousands of dollars to my landlord and rehearsal space .. whereas I was never in debt before.
Maybe women, being more collectivist in nature and fiercely protective of children (I’m generalizing obviously), are the ones who’ve ingested this propaganda more and are defending it to the death. To our society’s death, if the rest of us fail to unify and break the spell.
I’m certainly not one of those women, and now my main focus is on freedom and liberty, when I have been a member of the Green Party for 16 years.
Not that voting in this corrupt electoral system even works, but I’ve just composed a letter to the GP asking what, if anything, they’re going to do/say about one of their Ten Key Values- Decentralization.
Of all the Values in their platform, this one will be the make or break of OUR normal.
Parties and Party politics seem to be irrelevant now. We have to build an organic anti-Reset resistance. Can we?
”YES, we can”; remember that platitudinous nonsense from 2008?
I do, and when I first read it I thought of OJ Simpson’s book title: “I Want to Tell You”…an inane title because of its tortured grammar and syntax, not to mention his perverse motivation for making the effort to ‘tell us’.
If we, as a tyrannized people, are to rise up and protest this insanity of oppression, we must first educate ourselves on the ‘Big Picture’ of events that seem surreal when pieced together. Based on the comparatively higher level of collective brain function on this site and the respectful nature of commentary, I believe there is a good chance of success in beating back the oppressors of Megadeath Virus of Doom.
First: Education
Second: Organization among our spheres of influence
Third: Legal action through our elected reps
Fourth: Accountability throughout the chain of authority
Fifth: Continued Vigilance against surreptitious control measures sought by oppressors, whichever party affiliation they are part of
Lastly: We must not despair; think of Winston Churchill and the British people in early WWII.
Btw Ort, I also got that asskicking flu in Jan.. intense, but only lasted 5 days. Since then I’ve been doing what I can to build my immunity in general.. you know THEY will use the next flu and cold season to stoke more fear.
Was thinking about this today.
Several times over the past six months I have tried to remind people that government and media spokespeople have been quite clear, repeatedly, that this will not end. (I remember the UK Home Secretary saying it unambiguously back in Spring). The phrase ‘New Normal’ is unequivocally telling us that this is intended as a break with the past – a new phase in human society.
When I attempt to engage ordinary people with these points I witness the dissociation response of denial and the familiar cognitive dissonance. It is simply beyond their capacity of imagination or comprehension. Some replies to your comment here make the point that many people (particularly comfortable middle and upper middle class people) are using the Covid ‘crisis’ as fuel for their performative virtue signals. From my experience, even these people are not really believing that this will last indefinitely, and that some vaccine solution, drug or just time passing will ‘bring it to an end’.
You make a good point James, and I am intrigued at how the spreading sense that things are disproportionate will be met by the enforcers. It can hardly be unforeseen.
Thanks, I think you expressed it far more clearly and succinctly. As far as the response goes, you either double down seeking total victory or cash out and move onto the next big lie.
Good article.
Human beings are noospheric creatures; meaning we are primarily mind creatures. We each live in our own mental space or mind wherein we constitute our own personal world. It is not that there is no objective world, there is; it is just we can only ever see it or know it in our minds; and everything known in mind is always an interpretation; a meaning structure. Each of us sees the world, or interprets the world in a personal way.
In my opinion the corporate media elites have known this for a long time and they use that knowledge to control the public mind by providing us with meanings and interpretations which serve their agendas. That’s why propaganda works. Control of the narrative.
Myths can and do replace reality for many human beings. Advertisers rely on it; so do religions and warmongering regimes like Washington; nationalism and patriotism, and so on. All isms rely on the fact we are noospheric creatures in whom myth can be taken to be reality.
The Covid Panic has been mostly a noospheric event; a psyop.
Excellent comment
“nationalism and patriotism”- are noospheric events eh?
Don’t want to get your ire up Eire but pray tell what you would replace them with.
Why would I want to replace them? Are they important issues to you? Did my comment trigger that part of your noos?
Unfortunately, the prevailing sentiment is that no noos is good noos.
Here is an independent researcher’s interesting theories, speculations and evidence pointing to China as major purveyor of propaganda to actively try to advance the lockdown measures across the globe:
https://youtu.be/OWLItLt90ys
and his written article presenting the same material communicated in the 12-minute video link above in a media interview:
https://www-tabletmag-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.tabletmag.com/amp/sections/news/articles/china-covid-lockdown-propaganda
Terry, thanks for the links and for keeping it to just two.
The reference in the article to China and the picture of someone falling down dead in the middle of the street reminded me of the article and associated interview in which this particular detail in the propaganda was specifically called out as obvious fakery. Yet, as NYU professor Mark Crispin Miller pointed out to me in an email, these pictures of obvious fakery from China were circulated by the media around the globe to build up the fear among the populace.
My pet sheep after reading this essay said ‘Baa ba ba baa’…
Which (being fluent in sheepese) I translated:
“The essay defines the
Cult of Capitalism
Perfectly”
The Kea on the patio said: “Sqwuaak.”
Not fluent in the language of Kea but it could probably be loosely translated as:
“And the statistical Religion of Economism.”
Couldn’t hear what the Octopus said. He was having a bath in the rock pool at the end of the bay.
.
Kiwijoker, you(s) obviously invoked your noos.
CHASING YOUR OWN TAIL
“It isn’t national totalitarianism, because we’re living in a global capitalist empire, which isn’t ruled by nation-states, but rather, by supranational entities and the global capitalist system itself. And thus, the cult/culture paradigm has been inverted. Instead of the cult existing as an island within the dominant culture, the cult has become the dominant culture, and those of us who have not joined the cult have become the isolated islands within it.”
The sudden surfacing of cults were often associated with covert security state operations deployed in a kind of propaganda operation to balkanize stable societies. For example, Sun Myung Moon’s Church was Founded by a Korean CIA Chief: “CIA, Moonies cooperate in Sandinista War in the Central American hinterlands. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish CIA operatives from the Rev. Sun Myung Moon’s disciples. They appear to be working in harness against the communist-tainted Sandinista regime in Nicaragua.”
https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/document/cia-rdp90-00806r000200930003-4
However, during the last four years the national security state has been applying their overseas shenanigans to the US against Trump via Russiagate. The collusion hysteria was the “obsession” prior to COVID.
Russophobe believers accepted every irrational narrative as devoted followers to this cult-like obsession. To the dismay of Liberals Russophobia couldn’t gain traction with the working-class who have no interest in initiating another Cold War with Russia.
And then came COVID. This viral postman rang much more than twice. If you ever had any doubts about the power of mainstream media news propaganda COVID put those doubts to rest. Bernays “the father of public relations” knew in 1928 propaganda was an awesome method for sustaining social control:
“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, and our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of…. It is they who pull the wires that control the public mind.”
Propaganda is the beating heart of our society, inasmuch as it allows our way of life to remain intact. If the majority of the population rejected the official narrative (propaganda) then brute force becomes the necessary alternative to maintain social control.
COVID is the 21st Century version of the War on Terror. The terrorists are a viral enemy that’s both internal and external jeopardizing all life. The imperative safeguards needed to protect humanity from a virulent enemy was designed to further atomize an already fragmented population. Anomie will be heightened to a new level.
COVID hysteria, panic, and irrational thinking is to become the “new norm.” Cable commentators earning millions hammer viewers day and night with terrifying coronavirus details until the beaten listeners obediently accept ritual mask wearing and ideological devotion to a “scamdemic” psychologically entrapping the unsuspecting into an unending bottomless bureaucratic pit filled with phony tests, deleterious vaccines, autocratic passports, tyrannical contact tracing, omnipotent AI surveillance. Once caught in this imperious maze you’re as captive as a cat chasing their own tail.

Sadly agree with everything you said. “If you ever had any doubts about the power of mainstream media propaganda, Covid put those doubts to rest”. I was actually going to namedrop the Moonies in one of my comments further down, but that’s pretty much what it’s like everywhere now.
Especially here in Australia.
Unless you go to some rural part of Mexico or Madagascar or somewhere off the beaten track that isn’t bombarded with the poison of CNN, MSNBC, BBC and the like; you can’t get away from the covid new normal pysops.
The creatures that dreamt this up have come up with an absolute doozy. It’s almost foolproof. If you question the narrative, you’re demonised as a ‘covid denier’ or ‘conspiracy nut’. If you try and enter a shop without a facemask on, the police will likely be called, or, at the least, you’ll be abused, or have strangers demand you put on a mask.
I’ve pointed out to people how fraudulent the PCR tests are, and what are they testing for, and they didn’t want to know. There was no response.
“I’ve pointed out to people how fraudulent the PCR tests are, and what are they testing for, and they didn’t want to know.”
Most people still believe the PCR tests represent the “Gold Standard” for detecting COVID.
If people have come to an emotional response without logic, you won’t persuade them out of it with logic. You have to change their minds from an emotional viewpoint, e.g. by referring them to articles like this:
https://lockdownsceptics.org/testimony-of-a-carer-during-covid-19/
Letter From a Care Home Whistleblower
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-8834045/Women-France-felt-like-suffocating-forced-wear-face-masks-childbirth.html
French women in uproar as they’re forced to wear masks during LABOUR leaving them vomiting and unable to breathe – as doctors threaten to leave them to give birth alone if they refuse
The other approach is to ask them questions, i.e. to ask why they beli what they do. What led them to their current opinion, e.g. how many people have died of CV19, what is the average age of death, what is the survival rates, etc.
Thanks for the links… I’ve wandered over to Lockdown Sceptics a few times recently. They and Offguardian seem to be only a few of the sites seriously questioning the bullshit now (apart from blogs). Fear has overwhelmed a lot of people in Australia to the point they can barely add 5+5 now. But you’re right, we gotta keep trying to break through.
Lms2, thanks for the links.
So far in England.. the public are fairly civilised.. I might be the only one without a mask.. but no one has abused me.. except trying to get into certain pubs…. where some staff are enjoying their new found authority to make people wear a muzzle in an empty public house to walk a few feet to a table…
Gezzah Potts: I’m with you on PCR test as the ‘Gold Standard’ with a comment herein as to its inventor, history and appropriate place in Biochemistry.
Perfect. I would only add to that bit about how US overseas tactics will be increasingly used on the home population as that population becomes more and more jittery. The terror project known as “Operation Phoenix” where locals were murdered and mutilated and then left “on show” will start to become domestic policy. Indeed – this may already have happened cf. Dave McGowan’s “Programmed to Kill”.
It’s really going to be crazy-time when mainstream media news aggressively conflates the seasonal flu with COVID. And of course, all of these illnesses will be confirmed with faulty tests.
I think the craziness will be emphasised by the near certainty that, despite the MSM’s relentless monolithic – indeed psychotic COVID coverage, an ever expanding number of the people will start to reject the doomsday crap. Which means that the COVID story will become (if it hasn’t already) a purely formal matter I.e. it’s the verbal accompaniment to what is basically a new police state.
This is not to sound xenophobic but, China’s “surveillance state” is the paradigm the trans-nationalist capitalists want to follow.
“ trans-nationalist capitalists”
Maybe you mean supra-nationalist capitalists.
Wouldn’t it be easier and more accurate to call them – globalists?
Or A–holes?
“Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose.”
A word of hope: the more asymptomatic people test positive, the more these same people may start to question the narrative. A good friend of mine is FINALLY AT LAST beginning to understand why the tests are utter crap, now that he tested positive and remains healthy as always.
People may eventually learn with arguments, but it’s rare. Mostly they only really learn with experience.
Do you mean the UK or US??
This affects all Western societies.
Oh god, I’ve been saying this all summer. What will have happened to a common cold? Bronchitis? Stuffy nose? Feeling like shite?
The minute you sniffle you’ll be hanged.
It will truly ALL be covid. I find myself desperately holding in a cough if I’m in a store – I don’t wear a mask – even if I were to stuff my face in my elbow.
Talk about the power of propaganda. They won’t even have to lie about other respiratory illnesses. People will just automatically, sickeningly assume it’s covid.
God, I wish I were a bear. (hibernate)
Exactly, every respiratory infection or for that matter a cough to clear your throat will be diagnosed as COVID and phony PCR tests will be used to substantiate this “malarkey.” The Davos creeps designed the perfect “bear trap.”
Great comment. This reversion of cult-to-mainstream is more common than we immediately recognize: think about Christianity for example. Christianity literally – not figuratively – started out as a small cult. Then it grew to essentially take over the value system of the roman empire and the west. Many of our modern values are based on the values of this odd little cult.
In fact I will go so far as to say: ALL religions are just VERY successful cults. They all have illogical belief systems. You have to give them their earthly possessions for some reason. Not believing in their system is heresy and sin. etc etc. Sounds to me exactly how a cult operates!
Next logical train of thought/provocative statement: are ALL societies essentially old, entrenched cults-gone-mainstream? Is it possible to organize large scale cooperation without the aid of cult-like behavior to guide the masses in the same direction? is a country, a people and a nation…. just a giant cult?
Jan, you are conflating two very different things: Christianity, and the “Christian” political structure of Constantine and then Europe later.
Christianity strives for and indeed commands love for one another. The Covidian Cult demands distancing, isolation, lockdowns, and the negation of our humanity.
The Romans and jews of the day called Christianity a “cult” as a slur, a tradition you are upholding. In fact it doesn’t fit the definition at all, and is unlike any other “cult” in history, for a very good reason.
Tell that to the victims of persecution, either of non-Christians by Christians, or of members of one Christian denomination by another denomination.
That’s a great question.
As a side note, I worked for a time for the Washington Times/Insight Magazine – the moonies’ public face. And one thing I noticed: I could always tell who among the staff were moonies and who were not. It had nothing to do with their attire; but except for one or two, the moonies had a spaced out look about them. Everything was just a little bit off – kind of like a movie where the video and audio were slightly out of sync.
The almost non-stop covid hysteria had a predecessor in the climate change catastrophe apocalypse emergency that we’ve also been bombarded with, not to mention the whole woke agenda. The same incessant messaging, and the blatant censorship of anyone who dares to point out either the inconsistencies or try to give an alternative view, with accompanying discrediting of those who dare speak out. It’s all there and all the same. Maybe those who failed to be convinced by all that propaganda and were aware of the tactics used are also unconvinced by this latest round of propaganda.
Those that are questioning the CV19 narrative, and who hadn’t previously noticed the climate change agenda tactics, or been affected by the woke nonsense have been taken by surprise.
And yesterday “cancel culture” culminated with Twitter banning Trump’s Campaign account as well as the NY Post for exposing Hunter Biden’s corruption in the Ukraine. Evidently cokehead Hunter brought a laptop into a repair shop and never bothered to retrieve it. The laptop contained all the crooked wheelings and dealings between the Biden’s and Burisma including a photo of stoned Hunter holding a crack pipe.
According to Twitter voters are not entitled to know that slimy Biden is a crook and a war criminal. What’s worse is that 70% of news obtained by young people comes from Twitter and Facebook ( two intelligence operations) and these creeps can arbitrarily ban significant data. This has the stench of Beijing……
Charlotte Russe: you nailed it, again.
It’s so much clearer now, the very slick, obviously well funded mass media “campaigns” of all these agendas. Which now are proclaimed by the unelected, hitherto unseen Davos criminals as the basis of their new Reset of our civilization.
There is no way that a lone Swedish girl who started a one-girl protest about climate change blew up exponentially to become a household name in a matter of weeks and months- without massive funding.
How did all these climate protests with her fellow teenagers and their slick signs, invitations to speak at an international body, a lot of coverage on mainstream media (who would never have had environmental activists previously on air), a trip across the ocean on an ultra modern and very expensive yacht owned by some prince, spreading the message that air travel must be stopped among other things..
suddenly get into our psyche?
Same with Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and back in 2011, the Occupy “movement”. Which fizzled out at just the right time as soon as Soros et al pulled the funds.
All these “tenets” are being pushed right on the WEF website and all their social media as the basis for their Reset agenda.
They have all the money to do this, we have to somehow expose their propaganda machine for what it is. It’s really so obvious now what we’ve been pummeled with for the past 10 years, especially.
DisorderlyOne: Bullseye, fellow traveler.
That will mean the most radical transformation of Western culture as we have come to know it. Indeed – it means the end of that culture. Think about the customary liberal assumption of free speech and e.g. the satirical comedy programmes – indeed the very mode of humour itself will have to be expunged as something “dangerous” unless the humour can be redirected towards a brutal new medievalist sadomasochism or a resurgence of a bloodthirsty Roman gladiatorial jeering. To be sure, the ruling class have always favoured the instilling of such brute feelings in the masses. Anything that smacked of irony always annoyed them. Is it possible to recreate the Western population in this way i.e. to effectively turn back time by several centuries and form a new superstitious peasanty?
Interesting concept. Hadn’t thought of it. Comedy? What’s that?
Comedy: a mode of entertainment now extinct in which items of our glorious culture were held up to critique and ridicule. The last traces of this vile and irreverant practice were wiped out when these dangerous mockers proved to be a threat to the lives of those dying horribly from COVID.
Yeah!
It is Decline of the West as a whole, predicted nearly 100 years earlier by Oswald Spengler!
Alias Artemid…and as recently as the tumultuous 60s during which the Cloward-Piven Strategy was presented.
Insightful, thanks
Charlotte Russe, well written summary of how we invite oppression into our lives; thanks for sharing your ‘noos’. I wondered how the masters of this site assign avatars; yours intrigues me…but perhaps it’s all just random icons, signifying nothing.
Feck off 77th Brigade.
You are all going to be put on trial and hanged,
Brand New Tube is also under attack.
You have to ask, who are these complete lunatics doing this?
Or else you can just shuffle around wearing your face muzzles like the dumb little pricks that you are.
I wonder if some of the “new” alternative social media sites are not actually funded by the same criminal elites. Even the ones.. especially the ones that claim they are independent and do not mine everybody’s data.. and believe in privacy!
Bitchute, Minds, MeWe, etc.
Seems people here enjoy talking about cults. Here’s a page of cult-like scientists that actually talk about science. >
“What Are the Scientists’ Warnings to Humanity?
The Scientists’ Warning to Humanity began in 1992. These warnings provide the latest analysis and research pertaining to the climatological emergency and the sixth mass extinction event now underway.
Current Number of Signatories: 13,535 from 156 Countries
In the following introductory video, Thomas M. Newsome explains the history and portent of Scientists’ Warning to Humanity’s ‘Most Talked About Paper.’”
https://www.scientistswarning.org/warnings/
All those pesky facts… Let’s ignore them…
They are not scientists, and they are not actually talking about science. There is no climatological emergency. They are religious cultists
The climate has always changed and it always will.
Humans adapt to climate change.
We have no control over it.
Never have. Never will.
We are not as powerful as the sun, nor the earth below.
In planetary terms, we are almost completely irrelevant
The dolphins will still be here, when we are gone.
The sharks too. There is no shortage of them in The English Channel.
Seen loads of them recently. The dolphins are very friendly.
They wouldn’t be there apart from the fish.
I gain the distinct impression, that most “environmentalists” never get out.
They just watch it on TV which makes them very depressed and angry.
They move solar panels hundred of miles on a diesel powered lorry to power a music festival, with back up generators, for when the sun don’t shine
.
Solar Panels and Windmills are getting much better, and are extremely useful for some small scale applications, but can’t be scaled up.
If you think they can, show me a solar and wind powered island, that is not also dependent on petroleum for its energy needs and sustains more than a few hundred people.
There aren’t any. Do you know how much energy it takes to create the solar panels, and the wind generators? Don’t forget the mining costs, the refinement, the manufacture, the distribution and the maintenance costs. Vey useful in some circumstances, but at the end of the day, they are energy sinks. They produce less energy, than the energy used to create them. They haven’t got enough energy to create and sustain themselves, but dig a hole in the ground and you have got loads of the stuff. Most of our Energy comes from below the Earth, and it is not going to run out any time soon.
The human race will probably kill each other, but it has no need to.
We can survive, even maintaining our current numbers.
Exponential Growth is not sustainable, but we haven’t got that.
Western Populations are Declining.

And the recycling and/or disposal costs. How much of how many electric cars will be able to be re-used or constructively recycled at the end of their probably short life?
Look at the sad and wasteful situation of e-waste recycling globally. The little recycling that gets done occurs surreptitiously in sweat shops in poor countries. A UK minister who had the gumption to challenge capitalism about 5-10 years ago – by promoting repair and recycling – lost his job within no time.

The first person to raise the potential threat was Svante Arrhenius in 1896. Club of Rome study was in 1972, and its graphs are still on track. Exxon and other petroleum giants did covert studies as part of their successful counter-propaganda effort, but were unable to dismiss the threat.

Paul Vonharnish:

Muzzle rules are stricter in Bavaria when compared to other places in Germany,
Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder:
„
The mask is an instrument of freedom. „
He did not mention that this freedom is expressed above all in the fact that people, who do not wear libertymasks, are forced to do so by threats of punishment and social repression.
Maske macht frei!
In Bavaria you’re no longer allowed to book a hotel without presenting a negative covid test, even if you travel from WITHIN Germany. Söder openly admits it amounts to a “de facto testing mandate for travellers”.
He also wants people to be forced to wear masks outdoors and even in the elevators of their own apartment buildings.
He’s a utter psychopath. Every time I see his odious smirking face I want to punch him.

The article falsely proclaims that ANYONE can fall into a cult (as opposed to CREATE a cult). Wrong! Alphas, by definition, cannot. But alphas are rare, and most betas like to pretend actual alphas do not exist.
Such statements wind betas up- which is an existential problem, for when things get really wild, alpha activity is behind events- as with the ‘cray cray’ happening this year.
But back to cults. Let’s look at scientology, one of the Earth’s most harmless cults. Firstly notice how much effort is put into demonising scientology- mostly because scientology neatly gives ALL organised religion a very bad (and well deserved) name. But the laughable ‘principles’ of scientology also give, by metaphor, the power structures in ‘secular’ nations a bad name as well.
Where did this cult come from. Demonised pulp SF writer Ron Hubbard, noticed the fanboy feedback letter response in the pulp magazines that published his and other authors’ stories contained certain consistent psychological content. These fanboys were clearly showing feelings of RELIGIOUS fervour to the concepts expressed in the science fiction. In the land that birthed the laughable mormon cult, Hubbard felt he could do the same with a techo-babble based ‘science’ ‘religion’. He also had an interest in (rightfully) bashing psychiatry and eugenics, two horrors embraced by yankland. His ‘experiment’. originally a bet with a fellow author, was successfully beyond wildest expectations, and as the swinging 60s kicked in, oldster Hubbard embraced a playboy lifestyle as ‘head’ of the new religion.
My point is that a ‘playful’ or malicious alpha by themself can have such an impact on local Human society. When a network of EVIL alphas pull together in common cause (as is the case today) all hell breaks loose. The people that run governments tend to be mid to low betas. They are programmed to fall under the control of active alphas, whether or not they understand the ‘goals’ of the alpha commands. Today, just about every governmental leader actively struggles to be a better implementer of the ‘NEW NORMAL’- and NO, not because they ‘believe’ in any of the laughable pseudo-science excuses. No- they do it because they want to be seen as part of the ‘winning’ team- and that team is all about ending everything we once knew as right and decent.
It is all just beta Human psychology (and how betas, as this site proves, live in constant denial of their true natures). Enough co-ordinated evil alphas at the top, working in lockstep. Good alphas, for whatever reason, MIA. Betas doing what betas do- pretending that alphas don’t exist, and pretending that betas are not always experiencing life through the whims and diktats of alphas. Yet this pretence that Human alphas do not exist is a very recent one- and very much a project of the modern West, more accurately the english-speaking west. You cannot fight effectively something you deny exists in the first place.
Anyhoo, Human History is replete with examples of why alphas create cults, and how they used their power to gain even more power, and then changed the life experience of millions or billions of people for hundreds or even THOUSANDS of years hence. It’s just today we are seeing the fastest and worst (most evil) example of exactly that mechanism. The brief period of ‘enlightened’ modern west civilisation is over for good.
Strong stuff.
I guess the down votes are a response to your criticism of the “denial” of the “betas” on this site. That part might come off a bit coarse, but I agree that even very-aware commenters and authors on this–and every!–forum have a frustrating reluctance to grasp the fundamentally hierarchical, genetically-ingrained “social dominance orientation” of the the human primate’s existence.
Your point about “good alphas, for whatever reason, [being] MIA” is perhaps relevant to that. Even freethinkers are steeped in denial about the need for a true leader.
James Corbett, for instance, takes pride in the viewpoint that any resistance MUST be a “leaderless” one. If that’s the case, then that simply means there will never be a resistance. (My personal prediction, sadly.)
The vast majority of human primates are only capable of acting according to commands and instructions, and only do so given sufficiently motivating incentives of threats of reprisal. “The 99 Per Cent” will never, ever suddenly take some collective action, as if by some emergent “flock decision.” They need to be told what to do, AND GIVEN INCENTIVES. Every revolution in history was well-funded. People don’t just up and leave their fields or their jobs to “do a revolution,” with no way of feeding themselves and their helpless children.
And THAT’s why “good alphas” are MIA. The predatory financial system has monopolized all sources of money, has purchased every possible opposing faction, and the thought of a well-financed rebellion, like in Star Wars with warships and provisions for the guerrillas and such, is laughable.
I don’t think it believable that folks are going to stand for ever-increasing oppression. I do think there will arrive a critical mass, where the alienated in society (us all?) suddenly arrive at a ‘fuck you’ stage and join the molotov cocktail-throwing protestors.
If ‘left and right’ are just a distraction to continue the status quo dehumanisation, then under pervasive and all encompassing oppression, we switch (from supporting right or left) to supporting right as opposed to wrong, (as a basic survival mechanism) because we eventually see no future in the continuing denigration and oppression of humanity.
That’s the thing: the consequences of any “uprising” will be determined by who’s supplying the molotov cocktails.
And that will be the alphas described by Orhell, whereas the people taking up these urban-weapons-like-manna-from-heaven will just be useful idiots, participating in a plan that is not their own.
You think the Spider-Men calling the shots from the City of London and Tel Aviv will be damaged by molotov cocktails being senselessly lobbed at police stations and city halls? That is all part of their script.
There comes a time when it is too late to resist oppression. That is especially true in our time, when the technology and surveillance will be so advanced as to prevent any protests from getting off the ground. My best guess is that people will wake up when it’s too late, but I hope not.

alex, the algos will definitely have a problem with your encoded prose.
There is a very important focal point in the brainwashing of Cults. At some point in the strategy, the person is asked to do something that goes against any natural instinct. It is not necessary for the person to do it concretely, it is sufficient for him to formally and officially declare that he is willing to do this.
After this test of fire, the Cult completely dominates the person’s mind.
So, we just have to wait and see if the governments will ask the people to do something unnatural and unreasonable. If and when this happens, it will be the end of the world as we have known it to date.
And please excuse me for my poor english.
Ado, Your English is fine.
The problem is worldwide. It’s the most highly refined propaganda, the human race has ever experienced, and they keep coming out with Nonsense Repetetive Phrases like Circuit Breaker which no one understands at all, and they come out with more word phrases which is directly targetted at the most vulnerable unprotected part of your brain.

I must watch this film again. I have always fancied Jenny Agutter.
Her nude scene in Walkabout is one of the most innocent sexiest things I have ever seen, though I doubt they have shown it on TV. She is the same age as me. It was set in Australia. It’s also a Great Film.
