Thank you. This puts into words the feeling I had when I read that tweet from JBP. He was a hero to me, as well, and I learned a lot from his lectures. Sadly, the wages of fame and fortune eventually bring down even the loftiest among us; fame and fortune are so hard to resist.

Yes, he always was a shill. Perhaps it wasn’t obvious because of his apparent altruism and compassion. Like Douglas Murray you have to wonder how organic his rise to fame is. It seems with Peterson and Murray, the idea was to capture people with their exposure of societal madness and then subject you to rabid pro-zionist rants, totally lacking in nuance and intelligence as JR Leach pointed out.

Thank you for this video. I know it’s not the main thrust of his argument against Peterson, but I have been saying for years that the far-right ‘opposition’ were fake. But nobody was interested. Peterson was a far-right ideological guru, along with bit actors like Tucker Carson, murdoch’s bitch, Alex Jones, Rand Paul, Nigel Farage, Joe Rogan, Robert Kennedy jr, even Dr Campbell, Steve Bannon, Jimmy Dore & Russel Grant acting as the soft sell pathway drug to far-right ideology. All making this huge fake opposition. Sucking the oxygen out of the room for any real budding anti-establishment force. So I’m glade at least someone is unwinding the psyop a little, that is the American controlled far right opposition, or at least coming close to seeing the cracks in its illogical bizarre facade.

It’s interesting you should say that, because I think the powers behind them really are far-right, the problem for them is they have not had an outlet yet, or the power to let rip, but when they do, we’ll see their true colours. At the moment they are Nazis treading on eggshells. Alex Jones for example is 100% Neo-Nazi, which should come as no surprise since he acts as the political wing of the CIA. Just listen to what he really advocates, between the denials.. But yes many of the others are just Gigolos following the gravy train.

The writer talking about Sam Harris takes October, the 7th at official face-value. The evidence of ‘atrocities’ including rapes and beheadings that the lying Israeli leadership claimed just wasn’t there just like with the EL Shifa den of Hamas operatives. Apart from which, October the 7th has all the false flag hallmarks of 9/11 – in both cases, implausible breach of air space and the Gaza Israeli border.

From the get-go, I was unable to stomach anything longer than five minutes of Peterson; so please don’t expect me to watch his videos or read his books. Currently, the greatest threat to individual liberty is medical tyranny and the collectivist ideology of Public Health – and this was clearly evident at the time of Peterson’s rise to fame in 2016. For instance, potential candidates to the US presidency are required to swear allegiance to Vaccinology. Moreover, Thomas Szasz had been writing about it for five decades; stating in 2010: Formerly, when Church and State were allied, people accepted theological justifications for state-sanctioned coercion. Today, when Medicine and the State are allied, people accept therapeutic justifications for state-sanctioned coercion. This is how, some two hundred years ago, psychiatry became an arm of the coercive apparatus of the state. And this is why today all of medicine threatens to become transformed… Read more »

Well said. The insights of people like Thomas Szasz (and Peter Breggin) are the best antidotes to the collectivist public health ideology you refer to. (A lot of people who support ‘health freedom’ are almost completely ignorant about psychiatry, and can’t fathom that the church of ‘vaccinology’ and the predatory ‘mental health’ system are both underpinned – at least in part – by social engineering and eugenics goals.)

As regards the OP’s video … I haven’t even watched it yet to be honest. I never really had faith in Jordan Peterson to begin with.

Dear people, let me remind you of that thing Buddha said:

IS J R LEACH WHO HE SEEMS TO BE? I have no problems with the criticism of Jordan Peterson – in the video or in the comments here. My observation is – this video looks too polished to have been produced by some small marketing agency guy (as judged from his website) who you would expect to be flat out running his own business. My question therefore is Whether this guy is being used as a front for someone else who wants to get a message out? There’s a handful of videos out there that also seem to be way too professional to have been made by the people who front them. Perhaps I am naive or just don’t know enough about how video production works but the videos I’m referring to look like the output of an organisation that has full access to the very best libraries of content/clips… Read more »

https://www.technologyreview.com/2024/04/12/1090726/brainwashing-mind-control-history-operation-midnight-climax/?utm_source=pocket-newtab-en-gb

Paragraph after paragraph on what Russia and China did and the reader even has to get through L. Ron Hubbard (no mention of his CIA link obviously nor current Scientologists) before getting to what the US deep state did. Then they immediately drown it in sexual prurience with ‘Operation Midnight Climax’ and get Ewen Cameron’s name wrong. The whole thing is dismissed as “weird” – the standard normie brush-off for anything that doesn’t fit into their paradigm and therefore doesn’t require more thought nor investigation (why those in power would want mind-control isn’t “weird” at all once one’s drops the notion that they’re good people merely trying to help everyone).

Still, at least they’re covering at all.

Let’s hope that Jordan Petersen can at some point apologize for his tweet. Maybe it was an undisciplined reaction on his part. Maybe he will reflect on his position and try to make ammends or reconsider it. Time will tell. Hopefully he isn’t a controlled operative who has finally been activated.

I read your original article on that sickening-gut-wrenching moment of absolute shock, horror and disbelief I too experienced on seeing that tweet. In the days (weeks) to follow it was referenced here and there by writers and commentators I admire deeply, but typically only as an observation within the wider geopolitical conversation pertaining to the conflict. Perhaps everyone was just so jaded by this point at the human capacity for corruption I thought, Or perhaps they just hadn’t invested as much of themselves or their time in listening to him expound on subjects and the great historical thinkers to appreciate the genius I believed him to be. And his personal life being what it was, only deepened my trust and reverence. So when I read your article and saw my experience so perfectly reflected right down to the sheer inability to stomach even his voice, I was so comforted somehow,… Read more »

Somehow I missed the original article and just went and read it now.
I’ve also listened to Peterson many times. I didn’t worship him as a hero, but saw him as an intelligent but flawed human being with a lot of good ideas. He tended to be a bit pompous. When interviewing someone, he tended to talk too much. But you are generally right, that he at least “seemed” to be a person who considered and reasoned rather than reacted and spouted vitriol.
But so many people (Americans in particular) have a blind spot when it comes to Israel. I can’t really understand it. Maybe, maybe, in 1948 you could grasp why, but now? And since Israel is deified, then the Palestinians must be…demonic, or at least sub-human. That’s how the rationale goes. But there is no reasoning behind it.
As for Hamas, its rise is understandable, although regrettable.

I think I learned pretty early on there are no single, monolithic heroes. I remember thinking to myself many years ago, if I could meet any celebrity who would it be? Being into Kung fu movies at the time, I figured Jackie Chan. But then I started to learn that apparently in real life he is actually a bit of a cunt.

Circa 2020-2021 I was looking to my idols to speak out. The late John Pilger was one who disappointed me. But maybe that speaks to the power to the relevance of his book “Heroes”.

Jordan Peterson is a fighter. He is also a professing teacher with a following. While he teaches about the shadow self – or denied psyche – he doesn’t exemplify healing but fighting. I could call it negatively framed ideological capture. Jesus – who does teach healing – warns in the context of all else he also teaches: “Resist ye not evil!” Why” Because what we resist persists in the shadow of a masking or covert Id set as ‘war on evil” or in modern terms ‘countermeasures’. ideological possession is a state of being phished or possessed by our own imaged thinking – given priority over and therefore overriding all else – which becomes subverted, subjected or sacrificed to judgements accepted as irrevocably true. from what I see, he uses the ‘scapegoat’ awareness for attacking ‘anti-Semitism’ (a weaponised term for a special or overriding form of racism) – but overlooks the… Read more »

Jordan has 0 knowledge about politics and i am not sure if he walks the talk when it comes to psychology either. I have always seen him as a person who talks a lot without saying in essence anything. With Netanyahu it has never been about revenge. Using morality here does not work b/c the mind behind it-the same mind behind the holocaust – cannot be understood via human norms.

This video is a very honest and brave self examination. A lot of people confuse eloquence and academic prowess for wisdom. Eloquent mouthpieces like Jordan Peterson and Stephen Fry have so many disciples who will parrott whatever they say without ever asking themselves why or if they actually believe those things. I’m glad people are finally seeing Jordan Peterson for who he really is and what he actually believes. Maybe it will lead to more of those people engaging in true self examination, individuation even, such as the author in this video has done. Bravo!

Everyone makes mistakes. Everyone has right to his own opinions. Look for what’s good in there not what you don’t like. And grow up! Stop making idols. Think for yourself with compassion to others. By the way, C.G Jung and Nietzsche were not idols as well, they made huge mistakes.
