This Virus is Causing Psychological Damage to the General Population

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Hi Marty,

Yesterday I went to my local golf club to practice.

(It should be noted it is an excellent golf course yet public facility and subsidized by that county’s tax base, so the following enforcement is local government based in a blue state.)

I was met with the following sign at the door where you pay for the golf balls.

The small range shop, approximately 700 sqft, had its golf merchandise removed, leaving a completely empty retail space. It had also been taped off and resembled a crime scene.

I was masked and entered the now sterile golf merchandise shop to purchase a few buckets of golf balls for the range with one person already inside the empty 700 sqft, not knowing that person was in there. I then realized by the complete body language of the other person and the young girl at the cashier that I had not only broken the rules but was a threat to the two of them. I stood back beyond social distance and once he left, after shooting me a glance, I stepped forward to the 4-foot high plexiglass wall. I asked why they no longer take cash, Commenting that I was glad I had my plastic card with me. The young girl replied with the comfort of authority…

“We are practicing fewer touchpoints because of Covid19”.

The clubhouse also holds the same cashless signs and guidelines. Going to a leisure facility to hit golf balls now feels restrictive and not so comfortable.

Marty, what have they done to us? In just a few months we now doubt or fear the human standing next to us and endure those who embrace the new authority handed to them by local government agencies…and this is only a golf course and clubhouse.

You are correct in your reporting and I see it more and more on a daily basis. The authorities are pushing a cashless payment system. The people comply and it is truly amazing yet disturbing to witness it.

Thank you for all you do; it is so helpful.

Regards,
RH

REPLY: This is not my wild guess or opinion. This is history repeating. You divide the people any way you can, typically using religion or race, but whatever the ploy (here it is health) they invoke a human response where people fear the other group. It reminds me of an old woman from New York City who was in Atlantic City in a casino. She was alone in an elevator going to her room and two black guys entered the elevator — one was Eddie Murphy. She panicked and thought she was going to be robbed. It wasn’t that she was really a racist. She was indoctrinated that young blacks were criminals.

People can be indoctrinated to distrust other groups very easily. This is what they are doing with social distancing. They are indoctrinating people to psychologically assume all other people are a threat. Like the old woman in the elevator, it was not racism. If an elderly black man entered, that would not have been a problem. The image of black youths firing guns and robbing people that appears on the nightly news creates the image that all black youths should not be trusted. The press is doing the very same thing with this virus. We are looking at permanent psychological damage. There is no putting this back together again.

“. . . no putting this it back together again” sounds about right. Isn’t that good? It was not exactly put together very well. How about leaving people alone to put their own communities back together in reality? The Little Red Hen could probably do it.

“She was indoctrinated that young blacks were criminals.”
– Martin Armstrong

Sorry, Martin; young Black men ARE criminals, committing 50% of the violent crime in the USSA yet being only a few percent of the population. Fixed that for you. THe old woman in the elevator had every right to be concerned for her safety.

And it is proven fact that CoVid-19(84) causes not only psychological damage but permanent brain damage as manifested all over the world. Politicians suffer the worst and pass it along to their unwitting constituents.

She panicked and thought she was going to be robbed. It wasn’t that she was really a racist. She was indoctrinated that young blacks were criminals.”

That was the worst retelling of that joke I have ever heard.

A well dressed lady enters an empty elevator at the casino late one night. Just as the door is about to close a tall black man jumps in at the last moment with a large Doberman Pinscher on a leash. As the door closes and the elevator began to rise the woman clutched nervously at her purse. In a low and firm voice the black man says,
“Sit, Lady.” and the woman immediately sat down on the floor of the elevator and looked up at the man in terror.

“I meant the dog, Ma’am. Her name is Lady.”

He helped her to her feet, reached into his pocket and produced two tickets which he handed to her.

“These are court side for the game tomorrow night, my name is Lou Alcindor.”

I’ve heard the Eddie Murphy variation (most often with an accompanying excuse to do an impression of his laugh) but it’s almost always told as a joke, not as some moral lesson about racism.

There really is no humor in the future.

Communist humour will be on the menu for laffs should the Demoncratz win in November.

Or allow you in for x amount of hours at the end of the day, when they have conditioned the store workers enough, and you will go in those few hours, maybe making the workers stay later than they have been, they will look at you sullenly and hate you because you’re risking there lives and making them work late.
I’m sure there are all kinds of psychological games that can be played with it.

Aren’t we all to the stage that we really don’t care if we go shopping again? Maybe I’m skipping a few steps but the outcome is inevitable so I’m learning to accept it now…?

And all is right with the world because there is toilet paper in stock again.

“She was indoctrinated that young blacks were criminals.” Raciss indoctrination at work there.
