2023: FOURTH TURNING MEETS MASS FORMATION PSYCHOSIS (PART 2)

In Part 1 of this article, I laid out the mass formation psychosis theory postulated by Mattias Desmet in his book The Psychology of Totalitarianism and how totalitarian minded politicians and bureaucrats manipulated the masses by creating the covid crisis. Now I will focus on how this will impact the Fourth Turning we are currently trying to survive.

FOURTH TURNING: CRISIS OF TRUST – The Burning Platform

Decades of social indoctrination and degraded ability to think critically has left most people hopelessly unable to resist the vitriolic opinions of those under the spell of coronavirus mass formation. Even though they didn’t necessarily believe the covid narrative, especially when it became clear only the very old (especially when tyrant governors inserted infected patients into nursing homes) and the very obese actually died with covid, these people still went along. Even the CDC admitted only 6% of deaths were attributable to covid alone.

Based upon research like the Milgram Experiment, we know average people will obey authority without question, even when they know their actions are causing pain. The conformity research done by Solomon Asch explains why a huge percentage of the global population just conformed to what appeared to be a majority opinion. Asch’s experiment had 8 test subjects, but 7 of them worked for Asch. They asked them which line was the same length as Exhibit 1. The 7 Asch employees answered C. Only 25% of the case subjects consistently answered A. They were cowed into giving a patently absurd answer due to peer pressure and lack of faith in their own judgement.

Solomon Asch study social pressure conformity experiment psychology

When you have 30% of the population as true believers of the covidian religion, with their savior Fauci, prophets Walensky, Birx, Gottlieb, Biden, the pope, a slew of Big Pharma paid priests for hire, Hollywood elites, low IQ athletes, and a highly compensated mass media campaign of fear and loathing, the 40% in the middle really had no chance to not be pulled into the vortex of pandemia. From the outset they were inundated with data like Neal Ferguson’s Imperial College model of death. Putting up a scary chart, even though it was based on absurd assumptions, is considered fact by the lazy, non-thinking masses.

Shutting down the world was based on this worthless fraudulent model. Add some fake videos of dead people piling up in the streets in China, with media talking heads declaring hospitals being overrun (even though nurses had time to do coordinated dance routines on Tik Tok), and graphics on CNN, MSNBC, and Fox showing cases rising (based on a faulty PCR test set too high), and Fauci knowingly lying about the effectiveness of masks and the ineffectiveness of ivermectin and hydroxychloquine, and you’ve got panic.

Cases were not sicknesses. Covid deaths were deaths from something else, while testing positive for covid. The average age of “covid” deaths was 83. The overall survival rate was 99.7%. If you were under 70 it was 99.9%. If you were under 40 it was 99.999%. It was nothing more than the annual flu, with a multi-billion-dollar marketing budget, paid for by the same taxpayers who were locked down and out of work.

Anyone with the gall to dispute the narrative with factual data, sound reasoning, and pointing out the cure was worse than the disease, became an enemy of the state and subject to intolerant attacks, cancellation from society, and censorship on par with the worst totalitarian regimes in history. The physicians’ principle of Do No Harm was discarded for the almighty buck. The measures taken to “defeat” a relatively benign virus wreaked havoc upon the world economically, socially, and psychologically.

The damage they caused and the unintended consequences they unleashed will have a profound negative impact on the world forever. The animosity, mistrust, fear, and suffering created by those running this shitshow will fuel the coming chaos, havoc and war which always arrives during the waning years of a Fourth Turning. The 30% still firmly under the sway of their mass formation psychosis will never hold Fauci, Biden and the myriad of covid cronies responsible for their crimes against humanity. As Desmet explains, everything can be rationalized by the covidian cult.

“Another consequence, that is very typical for totalitarian states, is that people become radically intolerant for dissonant voices. Because if someone tells another story, if someone claims that the official story is wrong, then this person threatens to wake the people up and they will get angry because they’re confronted with the initial anxiety and the initial psychological discontent. So, they direct all that aggression at these dissonant voices, at the other voices. And at the same time, they are radically tolerant for their leaders, for the people who pronounce the mainstream narrative. These people can actually cheat and lie and manipulate and do everything they want, but they will always be forgiven by the crowd because the crowd seems to think that they do it for their own sake. That’s also part of the mechanism of mass formation.” Mattias Desmet – The Psychology of Totalitarianism

Being wrong means nothing to those who have latched onto a narrative that gives their lives meaning. This is what explains how seemingly intelligent people could believe an utterly absurd narrative, built upon falsified data, inaccurate statistics, and irrational hype. Subjective conclusions pronounced by those who benefited from those conclusions are not objective facts. The last two years have been a far greater psychological calamity than biological catastrophe. The mental illness which has infected the masses has opened the Pandora’s box of totalitarianism and a surveillance state never envisioned by Orwell in his worst dreams.

The lockdowns and vaccines have caused more death than they prevented. Suicides, overdose deaths, deaths due to preventative healthcare not accessed, deaths by ventilators and Remdesivir, deaths due to not allowing doctors to prescribe ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, and now sudden deaths from the Pfizer and Moderna jabs are all verifiable and factual, but no empathy from the covidian cult is forthcoming for these victims. As Desmet points out, once the mass formation began it encouraged various factions to keep it going for their own self-interest. The cult never wants it to end.

How to assess the costs and benefits of lockdowns | The Economist

“But this is also being constructed by politicians who are under pressure from public opinion and feel compelled to act decisively, by leaders who have lost control of society and are now able to regain control because of the virus, by experts who have to hide their ignorance and choose the flight ahead, by academics who see an opportunity to assert themselves, by the inherent tendency in man for hysteria and drama, by pharmaceutical companies that sense a golden opportunity, by media that thrive on sensational stories, through testimonials of unique cases in which the course of the disease was exceptionally difficult.” Mattias Desmet

So here we are in early 2023, with the mass formation psychosis still thoroughly intact, authoritarian measures still in place, anger building among all three factions, as the 30% dissenters have been proven right without being given credit, the hypnotized 30% who were wrong want more restrictions and punishments, and the go along to get along 40% are slowly realizing they were duped and experiencing massive regret. We face a multi-pronged situation which is likely to result in a tragedy of untold proportions over the next few years.

Having a major segment of your population proud of their willful ignorance and believing their opinions based on emotions and what they are told by mass media, is as valid as someone who basis their judgement on critical well researched thought and factual data, sets the stage for tragic denouement to this Fourth Turning. The superficiality of the citizenry, celebration of deviancy, financial illiteracy, unserious culture, technology obsession, and devastating level of governmental, academic, media and corporate corruption, are a perfect recipe for the fall of the American empire.

Lockdown: The New Totalitarianism | Kate Wand - YouTube

The mass formation needs an object of fear to keep its intensity at a hypnotic level. First it was masks and lockdowns. Next it was the vaccines and destroying the lives of anti-vaxxers. Next it was Putin and Russia as the evil antagonist. Then it was climate change and banning gas stoves. Everything these people believe is based on absurdities and purposeful ignorance of facts. The societal woes which allowed this to blossom have not dissipated and until our culture undergoes a wrenching reset forced upon it by an inevitable financial collapse and likely global conflict, our chances to survive as a nation are slim.

This is what must happen during a Fourth Turning. The existing social order is swept away and replaced by something better or worse. We will either continue down this path towards global totalitarianism, where you own nothing, are under government surveillance 24/7, ask permission to travel more than 15 minutes from your home, accept your regular booster shots, and are tagged like cattle through social credit scores tied to your use of their central bank digital currencies, or the minority of resisters and critical thinkers recapture control and steer this ship back towards liberty, freedom, sustainable local communities, and lives which regain meaning and purpose.

Resetting the world: Klaus Schwab on The Great Reset podcast | World Economic Forum

Where I disagree with Desmet is regarding his opinion the leaders (Fauci, Gates, Soros, Schwab, Biden) being followed during this mass formation psychosis event were also under a self-hypnosis driven by their ideological beliefs. He doesn’t give much credence to the “conspiracy theorists” who believe this was an engineered event to promote the Great Reset and introduce authoritarian measures upon the masses. As one of those “conspiracy theorists” I no longer believe in coincidences.

Fauci stated in early 2017 Trump would face a deadly pandemic during his term, when we hadn’t experienced a real pandemic in decades. Fauci illegally funded the gain of function research at the Wuhan bio-weapon lab. Gates, Soros, and Fauci ran the Event 201 pandemic simulation in October 2019, a few months before covid. Pfizer and Moderna already had their gene therapies (which had failed miserably in previous trials) waiting for the green light from those running the show. The Build Back Better campaign was orchestrated across the world in every western country. I could go on, but it is plainly evident this plandemic was not organic but coordinated by the global elite.

Malcolm Roberts 🇦🇺 on Twitter: "'Build back Better' is the weasel words politicians use instead of 'The Great Reset' Joe Biden, Justin Trudeau, Boris Johnson are all using the same phrase And

Our best hope is for the vocal 10%, who refused the jabs, have defied the overlords at every turn, and understand the dystopian path we are being herded towards, can slowly but surely convince their fellow 20% of unjabbed and the middle 40% on the fence to join them in a mass resistance to the Great Reset/New World Order being jammed down our throats by the Davos elite, shadowy billionaire globalists/satanists, the captured pliant corporate media, bought off Soros installed politicians and bureaucrats, and thousands of feckless apparatchiks around the globe, saying anything they are told for a buck.

Unless we can break this mass formation psychosis, this Fourth Turning will surely end in our enslavement to a totalitarian global state and the horrific consequences for humanity if we let it happen. Desmet’s advice for humanity reminds me of Andy Dufresne’s quote from the movie Shawshank Redemption, “It comes down to a simple choice, really. Get busy living or get busy dying.”

Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying" - YouTube

“Don’t let freedom – especially the right to speak freely – be subordinated to the fear of any virus. Generations and generations have fought and given their lives to realize a certain freedom. Show that you are worthy of that freedom. If you want a life worth living, you have to be able to accept a certain amount of risk. Don’t give up everything for a sense of security that may eventually turn out to be false.”-  Mattias Desmet

The core elements of this Fourth Turning (debt, civic decay, global disorder) are still driving this crisis, as they juxtapose and feed on each other, creating the environment and atmosphere for the coming storm, in which the hundreds of millions still entrapped in this mass formation are perfect fodder for those seeking to capitalize on their inability to comprehend facts and reality. This is how the totalitarians hope to succeed in creating a centralized global techno-gulag, where they control 8 billion people (while culling billions to make their prison more manageable), and are arrogantly sure their “science” based pronouncements from on high will be implemented flawlessly, leading to a utopian world – for them.

It is this hubris that will lead to their downfall. Everything they do and propose makes the world a worse place. Their ludicrous ideas, assumptions, postulations, and beliefs cannot and will not succeed, either through utter failure when implemented or by armed resistance from those unwilling to bend the knee.

I find a distinct relationship between mass formation, totalitarianism, and Fourth Turnings. Evidence of mass formation and support for totalitarians among populations during the Civil War Fourth Turning and Depression/World War II Fourth Turning is obvious to me. A major percentage of the Northern population was convinced their abolition of slavery cause was just, and therefore allowed Lincoln to ignore Constitutional civil liberties and ultimately override state’s rights, while consolidating more power at the Federal level.

A majority elected FDR four times, supported his socialist New Deal programs, and patriotically died on his behalf in a war he helped provoke. Simultaneously, the German people became enthralled and mesmerized by the rhetoric of Hitler and his promise to undo the treachery inflicted upon the German people at Versailles. Stalin convinced a major percentage of Russians to kill and imprison tens of millions of their fellow citizens, and then fought Germans to the death on Stalin’s behalf.

It appears 2023 could be a tipping point year in this Fourth Turning, much like the 15th year of the last Fourth Turning (1943-1944) when the tide turned during WWII with the Battle of Stalingrad and Normandy Invasion. Biden’s corrupt administration appears to be imploding. Inflation, rising interest rates, a $31 trillion national debt, $200 trillion of unpayable obligations, a USD that has lost 97% of its purchasing power, out of control surveillance state agencies running amok, broken education system, rampant worship and promotion of deviancy, ghetto crime rampaging in every major urban city, transferring $120 billion to the Ukraine (actually US arms dealers) to instigate WWIII, provoking China over Taiwan, and allowing unelected officials at non-governmental organizations (WEF, WHO, UN, NATO, World Bank) to impose their rules, regulations and mandates on our lives, has set the table for the disintegration of our financial, political, social, and cultural institutions. The downward spiral, decades in the making, is irreversible at this point.

Fourth Turning – The Burning Platform

Will all of these lit fuses ignite their powder kegs simultaneously in 2023? Probably not, but a few will explode, producing unintended consequences and start a process of falling dominoes and chaos for the average human on this earth. Having already ruined the livelihoods of tens of millions across the globe, destroying thousands of small businesses, igniting inflation not seen in forty years, causing food shortages, and making our lives far worse, the sudden deaths of children, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, and friends from their mandated gene altering, spike protein inducing therapy should be the last straw and provoke a violent response from the awakening masses.

After the collapse of our warped, dehumanizing, immoral, irresponsible, greed based system, building back better is not going to mean what the Davos elite think it means. All the trappings of modernity will fall away and we will be left with the task of daily survival, based upon our hard work, strong supportive families, like minded neighbors, intelligence, wisdom, local community collaboration, and the promise of a more meaningful and useful life. Building personal relationships with people you trust, preparing for crisis now, growing food or befriending farmers, improving your health, making sure you are armed and trained in using those arms, and readying yourself for when courage, honesty, fortitude, and guile will be required to insure a better future for your children and their children, is essential.

I’m just an average guy, like most people reading this article, trying to understand what is happening, why it is happening, and what will happen next. We are three-quarters through this Fourth Turning Crisis, with the nastiest, bloodiest episode lying ahead. I’m more prepared than most, not as prepared as many, and wondering whether it will even matter if the madmen and psychopaths controlling the levers in this world decide to destroy it. All I can do at this point is to proudly count myself among the 10% vocal resisters to those attempting to destroy our society and hope my efforts and the efforts of others make a small contribution towards breaking this mass formation psychosis. Here’s to an uneventful 2023, but I’m not counting on it. Good luck and Godspeed. Our choices will matter.

“The risk of catastrophe will be very high. The nation could erupt into insurrection or civil violence, crack up geographically, or succumb to authoritarian rule. If there is a war, it is likely to be one of maximum risk and effort – in other words, a total war. Every Fourth Turning has registered an upward ratchet in the technology of destruction, and in mankind’s willingness to use it.” – Strauss & Howe – The Fourth Turning

A glipse into things you can’t vote your way out of:

What would things been like [in Russia] if during periods of mass arrests people had not simply sat there, paling with terror at every bang on the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but understood they had nothing to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people?

All elections are fake. Your freedom is fake. Capitalism becomes communism/fascism with fake voluntary markets. One percent control it all and have for over 100 years. But now, in the Fourth Turning, it has gone exponential. Peace, Freedom, Truth, Hope, and Abundance for all is coming in the next 80 year cycle. #Bitcoin fixes everything; all the fake propaganda, lies, and fiat money will turn to good and replace evil.

Christ crushed him. Humans cant live on lies. We have the knowledge of good and evil
but the good guys dont enforce not lying in all its forms. Its why the four horsemen ride
now every 80 years. Christ sends em to cleanse and give us hope to see the system He
left us with. That is the hope, not voting. For now the ship sails 180 degrees in the wrong

*** FLASH *** Iran Under Attack!
More than half a dozen explosions have rocked different cities inside Iran as of 7:17 PM eastern US time on Saturday, 28 January 2023. The explosions have all been hitting military industrial facilities. Micro Aerial Vehicles (drones) and hitting numerous targets throughout Iran.

In addition, reports are now coming in claiming the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) is engaging in air attacks inside Syria, against allegedly Iranian targets.

This is happening right now. Details coming in, Check back for updates.

7:20 PM EST — 5-6 explosions reported in different provinces of Iran just now – Industrial Plants, Weapons Depot, Airbase, Military buildings targeted, – Drones/Quadcopters suspected

7:27 PM EST — The map below shows the locations of several attacks so far:

***** BULLETIN *****

“Israel launches a special military operation inside Iran” – Al Arabiya News Network

More:

“The official goal of the Israeli army is the destruction of Iran’s military industry” – Al Arabiya

7:31 PM EST — Videos surfacing of Iranian Air Force scrambling

Russian and Iranian State Media is already claiming that the Drone Attacks on Military Facilities inside of Iran tonight are suspected to be from a NATO or NATO-Linked Country.

7:35 PM EST — There are rumors tonight that the Azerbaijani Embassy in the Iranian Capital of Tehran is currently being Evacuated with several trucks seen being loaded with Equipment and Documents from the Embassy.

TEHRAN NOW: GROUND DEFENSE SYSTEMS ARE RESPONDING TO AIR TARGETS OVER THE CAPITAL, TEHRAN.

7:37 PM EST — The Iranian National Security Council has convened an emergency meeting

7:39 PM EST — The strikes on Iran are extremely distributed all over the country. No less than 7 large cities have been struck.

The Iranian security council has been convened for an emergency session.

The Iranian Ministry of Defense: The air defense hit one of the drones that were trying to target the Isfahan Military Factory, and the other two planes fell into defensive traps and exploded.

7:42 PM EST — Explosion at the air base in the city of Dezful, Iran

Confirmed (locally) blast-incidents in the past hour in Iran:

1. Isfahan, #Isfahan Province

2. Khoy West Azerbaijan Province

3. Azarshahr East Azerbaijan Province

4. Karaj #Alborz Province

Multiple Middle Eastern Media Sources tonight are reporting that Israel has launched a Military Operation against Iran but so far nothing has been Officially Announced by the Israeli Government or Military.

7:47 PM EST — IT IS ALLEGED THAT SOME GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS IN IRAN WERE HIT. (UNCONFIRMED)

Reports indicate that there is an intense security situation in the routes leading to the ammunition manufacturing centers of the Ministry of Defense in Isfahan

8:07 PM EST — Blast in Hamedan, Hamedan Province of Iran. 4th one tonight Each incident site is at least a couple of hundred km far from each other.

8:13 PM EST — The flow of news out of Iran has just . . . stopped. Nothing coming through. Complete silence. Something is up . . .

ANALYSIS — The most peculiar part of the reporting above is that the Embassy of Azerbaijan, in Tehran, is being EVACUATED right now. So I found myself asking, WTF?

Then I recalled, Azerbaijan is having a tiff with Armenia (again) and the Iranians (Shia Muslims) are backing (Christian) Armenia. So I started wondering if tonight’s attacks inside Iran might actually have something to do with Azerbaijan?

I note as well, that both Russian and Iran state media are reporting, almost from gitgo, that tonight’s attacks “are suspected to be from a NATO or NATO-Linked Country.” Would that be Azerbaijan?

Just yesterday, the head of security at the Azerbaijan Embassy in Tehran was murdered. It is now being RUMORED (unconfirmed) that he was part of an operation to smuggle micro drones into the Embassy, and those drones might be what’s attacking inside Iran tonight. These RUMORS (again, unconfirmed) go on to claim that Iran found out what was coming, couldn’t do anything in time to prevent it, so they allegedly outright murdered the Head of Security for the Azerbaijan Embassy.

All very convoluted.

Still awaiting more info.

In a world where leaders, government officials, media, and celebrities share the same, lie taking every opportunity to – live not by lies – rather, live in absolute truth as much as we are able, becomes essential.

In such a world saying there is inflation instead of decreasing prices is essential. Finding ways to dissent whether it is not wearing a msk or obviously wearing one improperly, or avoiding places that force the narrative is all essential.

In such a world we do not vote because elections are fair. We vote because the effort of being honest to ourselves is more important than ever. It is the act of having and voicing your own thought no matter what anyone else says. In that world, the one already corrupted, it doesn’t matter who counts the vote. It matters who lives honestly no matter the cost.

Truth, Honesty, Goodness, and Virtue will only work if there are torches and pitchforks protecting the above 4 horsemen of TRUTH, HONESTY, GOODNESS, AND VIRTUE. Jesus whipped the money lenders and drove them from the temple grounds. He defended these 4 attributes with a little physical motivation. 50 million humans died because of WW2. Surely, we can drive Gates, Shaub, Fauci, Biden, any vestige of a Clinton on the face of the earth and all who seek degradation of humanity from the face of this earth. Quit turning the other cheek for evil to tromp on. Let’s drive the evil money lenders from the earth.

I see the next few years as basically a decision that will be made only by a few central fucks in the US – will they push the button, and try to nuke Russia (or unleash a multitude of bioweapons) with the last dying breath of the former US Empire, or not.

Only niggle I have:
“[Desmet] doesn’t give much credence to the “conspiracy theorists” who believe this was an engineered event to promote the Great Reset and introduce authoritarian measures upon the masses.”
Don’t think too complicated. It was an engineered event to postpone the complete implosion of the Western financial system a few more years, by truly unlimited money printing plus a nice scapegoat. Even the Great Reset is basically just a fuzzy attempt to wipe the slate clean of pension claims etc. while not wiping out the wealth of the 0.1%, wrapped in lots of marketing bullshit.

m’s comment is kind of confusing, but it essentially says the scamdemic is not a conspiracy to help usher in the Great Reset, but is instead a conspiracy with a more limited objective – to postpone the implosion of the Western financial system. It also claims the Great Reset itself only has financial objectives. The comment is wrong on both counts. The Great Reset is a complete implementation of what used to be called Agenda 2030, which includes a one world government, cashless society, reduction of world population to 500 million, constant monitoring and tracking of the remaining population, etc. It is basically a combination of “1984”, “The Hunger Games”, and “Brave New World”. And the scamdemic is currently the primary tool that the NWO is using to usher in the Great Reset, although they will probably also start using the manmade climate change hoax (in addition to the scamdemic) more extensively than they have in the past.

You forgot to evaluate which parts of the Great Reset narrative (that you covered pretty comprehensively) are feasible, and which ones make no sense -even from the most extreme malevolent viewpoint- and are therefore marketing or deception bullshit.
The biggest one, that nobody has come up with any halfway reasonable theoretical explanation that I know of, is that if they want to cull world pop to 500M, why would they do such indiscriminately? As AI and such bullshit are many decades (or centuries) away from replacing an engineer, TPTB would need to be extremely interested to make the fully brainwashed engineering types (a rare combination!) survive, so they can build/maintain TPTB’s surveillance and oppression systems. I have not seen even the slightest indication of such “selection” happening, to the contrary those brainwashed types are much likelier to have gotten quadruple-jabbed by now.

Such brings me to conclude the Great Reset is mostly a “make it up as you go along” strategy, with a small kernel of truth to it. And the simplest (which often turns out to be the truest) explanation I can come up is the one “financial” (which actually extends to power/control) I described in my post above.

So please bring a valid, honestly self-questioned, alternative theory how any other piece of the Great Reset is a) feasible and b) a game changer:
one world government (already failed, due to Putin); cashless society (this is only a gradual increase on things going on for decades – you could say since the introduction of AmEx in the 50s; plus it ignores the bigger elephant in the room of how the unavoidable implosion of the USD will be handled); constant monitoring and tracking (could happen, but is a self-defeating approach as it turns society into total stasis, and because of that the tightest, perfect surveillance state will fail/implode after less than 100 years)

The Great Reset is not a “make it up as you go along” strategy. They know what they are doing, and are undoubtedly using AI to plan their moves. One only needs to look at how easily they convinced the majority of the world that a nonexistent virus is an existential threat to humanity. They plan their moves years or decades in advance. And they are going to largely achieve the majority of their goals, although perhaps not by 2030.

1. You didn’t address a single basic point I made in my post before.

2. OK, if you fell for that AI is already working (beyond most common pattern detection, which is almost entirely useless unless you believe ‘the majority is always/mostly correct’), then we have no level on which to discuss anything together.

They believe they know what they are doing, but that doesn’t make it so.
If they don’t achieve their goals by 2025, they lost. The world around them, and Putin and Xi, doesn’t wait for them to finish their goals. Sure, they can and will try again, but that is the nature of evil – it never stops.

I’m disinclined to believe “convinc[ing] the majority of the world that a nonexistent virus is an existential threat to humanity” was necessarily planned by AI or “They”. That majority requires very little convincing with respect to much of anything if they “heard it on the radio” (cue Donna Summer).

“[Desmet] doesn’t give much credence to the “conspiracy theorists”

Talking with others who have read Desmet’s book, that is the one consistent complaint we all have. Desmet builds up a really good explanation for what happened, and then, right at the end, he seems unable to see that it was done on purpose. I absolutely agree that mass psychosis can happen more or less by accident, but once the ingredients and procedures are known (and Dr. Joost Meerloo explained how back in the 1960s in his book “Rape of the Mind” long before Desmet was even born) there is no reason to think it can’t be done on purpose.

I honestly think that Desmet simply hit a point where he was psychologically unable to accept that yes, there are evil people who will engage in genocide on a global scale. To Desmet, mass psychosis had happened before accidently, but on purpose? It was too horrifying to believe.

The claimed results of the Milgram experiment have been discredited. In reality most people refused to continue the torture. They worked the data to get the answer they wanted. Most of these academic studies which have allegedly shown people are unthinking robots have been shown to be fake. All part of the never ending psy-ops to suggest your fellow citizens do not deserve your respect. Most financed by the usual suspects.

Go read about the “Robber’s Cave” experiment where they tried to prove teenage boys were monsters who were only restrained from killing each other by societal pressure. (think another fraud kids are forced to endure – Lord of the Flies). The kids refused to treat each other badly and at every stage looked for ways to work cooperatively and deal equitably with disputes. The academic stooges running the “experiment” did everything they could to cause division and skew the results. In the end they failed to get the negative results they wanted and instead reran the program after choosing two groups comprised largely of kids with sociopathic tendencies. The results were still line-ball.

Don’t judge your fellow citizens harshly. Most people want the same things, we just disagree how to get there. When you reject your fellow citizens and judge them harshly you are just as guilty of falling for the elite’s strategy as somebody with 5 shots of vaccine and a ukrainian flag next to their twitter handle

That’s interesting, and doesn’t surprise me at all. It was the same with the Robber’s Cave experiment (financed by the Rothschilds). They divided the kids into two groups and did everything they could to make them hate each other. One incident involved a baseball match where the “researchers” were the umpires and deliberately favoured one team. At the end of the game the “winners” were encouraged to humiliate and mock the “losers” however the kids refused to do it. They insisted on shaking hands with the other team and thanking them for the game. This disappointed the “researchers” because it disproved their hypothesis.

After a couple of weeks of being manipulated the kids on both sides realised something as wrong. At night they all gathered in one of the huts, talked through the manufactured problems and realised they were being set against each other. They agreed not to play that game. The real research result was that despite all the encouragement to dislike the other group the kids found a way to work together. Of course when the academic frauds running the “experiment” reported the results they ignored this and instead focussed on every minor negative, all of which they had initiated

This point is exactly what I make when I write my frequent opinion pieces to our city newspaper. The Democrat down the street is not your enemy. The Republican who runs a store where you shop isn’t out to get you. The imbeciles, lunatics, and psychopaths at the top of the heap on both sides are the problem. Wars are started by leaders…I can’t think of any real conflict started by hoards of grassroots civilians. It is always the ideologues and those empowered to represent the State who can think up ways to get a lot of people killed.

The last thing TPTB want is for folks to huddle and find out how much we have in common. We, indeed, do want the same things. It’s just that some folks have been brainwashed into thinking we all can have that if they can just get everyone to submit to the State.

Babble, forgiveness gets them out of your head. If you continue to hate (and that’s hard to control) they own you. If you are believer, you are commanded to forgive. It’s just letting go of the continuous merry-go-round of hate inside your head.

It’s not easy and when I decide I’m going to let go of the hate, I have to keep doing it.

Consequences are another thing entirely. And forgiveness does not mean a restoration of trust. It’s a little more complicated than what I can go into in a reply at this time.

“He doesn’t give much credence to the “conspiracy theorists” who believe this was an engineered event to promote the Great Reset and introduce authoritarian measures upon the masses.”

Admin: “but it is plainly evident this plandemic was not organic but coordinated by the global elite”

I sense a general awakening is occurring, like bankruptcy in The Sun Also Rises, slowly, then suddenly. That suddenly part much like Gladwells Tipping Point. Your “plainly evident” assessment being held by a smallish amount now, but destine to explode once the child points out that dude in naked, cuz in the same manner as they could all see cock in the fable, on some level, everybody knows what the fuck they did, and the spell will break, its close but has not yet.

I say slowly and then suddenly because its been a long, slow, ride for many of us, 20, 30 + years, and for many it will seem like the whole of reality changed in 1-3 years. It must be the season, the 4th has some immeasurable power to accelerate, for I thought for sure 911 would have done it, as it was plainly evident to so many of us by the invasion of Iraq. Or the granddaddy of all modern mind fucks, JFK, how did blowing his head off not result in an awakening or a Tipping Point or a bankruptcy like event. No, America just kinda rolled on despite both of these events being “plainly evident” and significant enough to cause a great disturbance in the force.

COVID 19, is different though, people are awakening a greater levels that I have ever experienced. Perhaps it is more personally affecting, or maybe some combination of all of the above, or maybe it is just the season and any one of the above occurring now would elicit the same awakening. But it is “plainly evident” the Crisis, Bankruptcy, Tipping Point, portion of this ride is upon us.
Thank you for bearing the torch all of these years, I believe it has mattered greatly, and your promotion of the 4th Turning was prescient in a manner that puts you in very small company, especially as I encounter more and more realizing the accuracy of the material, the bandwagon grows as the time gets shorter.

That’s awesome , though I am a relative newcomer here at TBP . For me , and I am also decades into being an awakened person at this point , it was a certain so called ( by the system ) cult leader who’s explanations of how and why life on this plane of reality (” the world “) is actually hypnotic , not as a metaphor or allegorically but actually straight up hypnotic , somehow it resonated in my thinking and then everything started to make sense, where before adhering to” the system”style of thinking/ world view nothing did . People can beleive a thousand things that are patently false all at once so” mass formation psychosis” becomes not much of a stretch once you understand how the world is and always has really been controlled .
That said I still believe there is a spiritual component at work as well , if I didnt I’d have to beleive too highly of myself indeed . No , I cant take credit for being this far out ahead in my understanding , something , someone above a material level has prompted and lead me to it as sure as I breath .it is a privilege to be among people who see whats really happening behind the wall of subterfuge .

Thank you for this, JQ. You said really all there is to say at this point in time.

What is going to happen now, nobody can predict with any certainty, other than more people are going to die. Whether it is by their own choice is irrelevant: Ba’al needs bodies.

I expect the alleged war to continue to be the lead psyop, followed closely by normalization of unnatural deaths, with a big shot (ha!) of civil unrest both in the cities and colleges, and especially in the financial markets. This seems to be The Plan. Whether this leads to a State of Emergency, thus finalizing the Plan — the militarized police is just waiting for the word — remains to be seen; that may be the Ace for 2024 instead.

I never hoped to be in this stage in history, but here I am, dammit. My only choices now are how best to protect my loved ones and what little I have from the evil which is surely on its way. I may be one of the deaths of which I spoke; this is not up to me. All that is left is to keep on living.

Thank you Admin.
While rereading Collums 2018 Year in Review, I noticed his statement that the biggest 18 Pharmas had spent more money that year doing stock buy backs and dividend payments that were as much or more than their Reasearch and Development outlays.
They sure did fill that deficit in 2020.

Excellent part two Admin. Desmet is either C/O or not very well read as I have been reading about pandemic scenarios as we are experiencing now for 40 years. Anyone with two working brain cells should see the conspiracy to commit genocide here. How soon everyone forgets Fauci offing a great many gays with AIDS and the fortune made with drugs to treat them. When Donnie gave Fauci the job of handling the pandemic , I related to all in the room that he (Fauci) is the guy who said ,”eventually everyone will have AIDS”. Those who volunteered for the clot shot also got a dose of HIV.

I’m mentally prepared for the last part of the 4th turning, I just hope Klaus & Co. won’t be our overlords when the dust clears.

Glock- I can’t convince you of anything. The largest group of vaccinated are third stage, the disintegration of their immune systems is from the HIV. These unfortunates will lose a small percentage of immune system function each month over the next 8 years until some ailment or other will finish them off. HIV destroys the immune system.

Tell you what ,you bring positive proof the clot shots don’t contain some form of HIV and I’ll retract my statement. Guess I don’t have to tell you Big Pharma doesn’t count as counter info….right?

Do you believe that the AIDS epidemic just “happened”? Did you buy the backstory? Did all of the AIDS deaths seem like a normal thing to you? Out of nowhere people experienced destroyed immune systems to their demise. Much like myocarditis just out of nowhere started causing young healthy people to drop dead….. but you can’t be convinced that that is really happening either.

Glock, there is no quality control in the shots. Some lots are worse than others. This could be on purpose or just because they don’t check the quality. There is no guarantee you will lose anyone in the next 8 years because they took them, unless they are still taking boosters. That ups the chance they will have heart damage or some other kind of reaction. On the other hand, it’s entirely possible you could lose all of them from the shots or for various other reasons.

I only have my mother-in-law who took the initial Moderna but has come around and says she won’t take any more. My sister-in-law and nephew and his family, who I won’t speak to because they are Branch Covidians. They are still all alive. I have a cousin who took the initial shot after his daughter begged him not to and it put him in bed for 4 days. He was in rehab for recently diagnosed Epilepsy and regressed in his rehab. He never took the 2nd.

But, so far, no one is dead. Except my FIL but he was 82 and had all kinds of other health issues.

Short for “parallax second,” or the difference in angle between a distant object taken 6 months apart, or the farthest distance the Earth travels in its annual orbit. One second of difference in the angle (1/60th of 1/60th of 1 degree) makes the object one parsec away or about 3.2 light-years.

Great read, JQ. Hope springs eternal, but is severely limited sans action. Outside of divine intervention, one absolute above all other absolutes is’ this too shall pass.”

“There is no antidote, he writes, against the opium of time. The winter sun shows how soon the light fades from the ash, how soon night enfolds us. Hour upon hour is added to the sum. Time itself grows old. Pyramids, arches and obelisks are melting pillars of snow. Not even those who have found a place amidst the heavenly constellations have perpetuated their names: Nimrod is lost in Orion, and Osiris in the Dog Star. Indeed, old families last not three oaks. To set one’s name to a work gives no one a title to be remembered, for who knows how many of the best of men have gone without a trace? The iniquity of oblivion blindly scatters her poppyseed and when wretchedness falls upon us one summer’s day like snow, all we wish for is to be forgotten.”

Consider an alternate viewpoint….

Mattias Desmet is not ‘blaming the victims’, but seeking to describe the symbiotic process by which manipulators succeed in killing the human spirit. He is certainly not, as another critic has alleged, ‘blinding us to the identity of the true culprits’. Rather, he is trying to convey a more complex understanding: that the contemporary kind of totalitarianism (because of mass media penetration, primarily) differs radically not merely from classical dictatorship but also from the twentieth century forms of totalitarianism. Fuelled by an all-pervasive ideology, this ‘contemporary’ form co-opts the mass in what can seem like a ‘voluntary’ collaboration with the tyrants. Desmet does not deny the existence of tyrants or their nefarious agendas, but makes the point that they are, as individuals, dispensable and interchangeable within the structure of the trance. The underfoot conditions in the society — mass alienation, free-floating anxiety, anomie, bullshit jobs — create an amenable ‘mass’ which readily embraces the ideology that seems to offer it some strange kind of relief, including a false form of solidarity, which makes it easier for the manipulators to exercise control. He does not rule out an orchestration, but simply emphasises that this ‘top down’ understanding is inadequate to understanding the total phenomenon.

The implosion and dissolution of this empire is neither organic nor spontaneous; it is being orchestrated from within by a psychopathic parasitic plutocracy hellbent on reconfiguring the world to suit their insane agenda. They know their global financial system is about to crack under the load of humongous debt and corruption they have heaped upon it. SO they must transit to another form of control. The miscreants know their concoctions cause harm and death and this is not just relegated to the COVID jabs, iatrogenic injury is one of the top causes of death in this country

Use systems redesign and the law to prevent medical errors and accidents

but they don’t care. It’s all about money and control.
They crave power and control to the point they are willing to cull a huge percentage of humanity so they can more “effectively” “rule” over the few of us who remain after their dystopian agenda is achieved (which will not happen).
More and more people are quietly resisting their evil by not taking the “boosters” not buying into the narrative or their obvious lies and deceit. Those who still do will continue to suffer and here lies the tension we are experiencing now; between the Zombies and the enlightened.
The misery index is sky high, suicide, depression, addictions, craziness, depravity and moral rot are everywhere. The US is the new Sodom and Gomorrah, which in and of itself is unsustainable! Time will tell which way this plays out. In the meantime arm yourself with wisdom and knowledge, seek a like minded community for support, remain willing to pay any price to derail or at least survive the Great Reset/New World Order.

Today, it is engineered, controlled & guided by globalist represented by almost every nation. Only Russia, China and maybe India are against the unipolar goals of the collective west & their puppets.

We are heading towards a return to the Dark Ages; to me, the only question is how much suffering God will allow us to endure before Christ returns to take us home.

I am convinced that it will be the former of these 2 paths; it really has to be for the end times prophecies in the Bible to be true.
“We will either continue down this path towards global totalitarianism, where you own nothing, are under government surveillance 24/7, ask permission to travel more than 15 minutes from your home, accept your regular booster shots, and are tagged like cattle through social credit scores tied to your use of their central bank digital currencies, or the minority of resisters and critical thinkers recapture control and steer this ship back towards liberty, freedom, sustainable local communities, and lives which regain meaning and purpose.”

I see an over riding aspect to this whole thing which the author probably wisely avoided, but I’ll dive into. That revolves around a comment John Adams, our second President, made many years ago… “Our Constitution was made for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other”.

Are we now a “moral and religious” society? In my opinion, no, and we haven’t been for quite some time. Actually, we are adrift in a veritable sea of conflicting ideas and opinions about life and death, and everything in between. It was not always so as in the beginning of the United States, although not everyone was Christian of course, there was a Christian consensus about the meaning of life and the idea of a supreme Creator.

Your article states “… and steer this ship back towards liberty, freedom, sustainable local communities, and lives which regain meaning and purpose.“. I submit that WHAT (or maybe WHO) gave us our initial slant towards life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness (sound familiar?) and gave our lives meaning and purpose has mostly been abandoned by modern culture… started in the 60’s by the “God is dead” blockheads.

Here we are in early 2023 a wholly morally bankrupt society. Our ties to God almighty have been broken, and with them our values and ebbing freedoms. Bottom line… we’ll never ever ever be able to reclaim our freedoms and stable lives until each of us repent and turn back to the Author of those freedoms… to the One who gives us meaning and purpose.
