I do believe Jon Rappoport in a past life was a speech writer for Moses. "Fuck the Oppressors-We don't give in-no matter what" What a spot on article. I could solve the bullshit coming out of Academia tomorrow. Cut off the money. Let the ivory towered con artist's sell their rubbish to the general public and see if they buy it. I think not. From Volvo's to begging bowls in one semester. Of course people make choices. The individual makes choices. Ever heard of a group making a choice to fornicate? I made a choice to quit college. Then I made a choice to listen and learn from people like Jon Rappoport, Celia Farber,Catherine Austin Fitts, ect. One denigrates the spirit of humanity and all that's good about humans when one says "there is no free will". There is always a choice. Anyone who thinks there isn't is a worm.
A piece like this is disappointing not because I disagree, but because you are directing your derision and vitriol toward a complete mischaracterization of Desmet's ideas. You've set up a straw man to fling darts at. It's clear that you haven't read his book, and I wonder if you've ever even listened to him interviewed.
Desmet is not saying that people are not responsible for their own behavior. He is however, offering a sound psychological explanation for why otherwise intelligent people are
a) choosing to believe preposterous explanations unsupported by any credible data
b) intolerant of all explanations that oppose the official narrative, even while they are supported by mountains of highly credible data.
If you're going to attack his ideas on why he thinks this is so, read the book or at least listen to an interview. Then if you write something critical, you'll at least be criticizing what he actually put out there, not some crap you made up because you're in a bad mood or you hate psychology.
He is not saying people aren't responsible for their choices and decisions. On the contrary, he's in agreement that we as individuals are absolutely responsible for our own thinking, including the choice to let other people think for us. He, like others is also arguing that there is a massive and well executed effort to propagandize and manipulate people, to unconsciously influence their choices and decision making process. It's been going on in advertising for decades, and in countless well -documented government operations. Part of the solution according to Desmet is for those of us who are awake and aware, to stay vocal. This keeps hard core people from becoming completely comfortable with their decision to go along with the propaganda, and may succeed in bringing some others off the fence in the direction of sanity.
I’m not sure you understand either the concept of mass formation or Mathias Desmet who is not exactly in an ivory tower in some Ivy League school. He’s been shunned by his colleagues for years because they don’t like his ideas. People like Malone have bastardized his work. I usually agree with you but not this time. Tucker Carlson did an extensive interview with Desmet on Fox Nation a couple weeks ago. He’s a brilliant man, a good thinker, and offers solutions. I suggest that you check it out before doing another gratuitous hit piece on one of the very few academics in psychology who have something useful to offer.
I'm amazed at just how many people are ready and WILLING to not think for themselves and leave that little chore and there freedom on the doorstep of . "I'm for the current thing."
Jon, We both agree on C19 and the non-connection of HIV & AIDS, including the directed "cash flows" of astronomical proportions and massive, despotic, power grabs any king would be jealous of.
Critical thinking for me, in part comes from my background in master's + level physics, math, statistics.
Relevant to you, in the 1980s, Dr John Kapoor, of Lyphomed fame (AZT mfgr), was my customer for a stock market trading computer and software I put together and wrote for him. We had several "fireside chats" about AZT, AIDS and HIV. Paraphrasing him, John told me that even though he was making boku bucks with AZT, that, if HIV existed, it was a harmless virus because maybe half of the AIDS patients tested "negative" for a HIV antibody and there were no symptoms of HIV, only ARC (AIDS related complex) and if pts died, they died of ARC maladies. i.e. never of HIV. As I recollect, his main theory on cause of AIDS was recreational drug abuse, as so many AIDS patients were drug abusers. Apparently big Pharma is trying to silence him. I noticed, in your book, AIDS Inc. that you never mentioned Dr Kapoor, only AZT. I hope my experience with Dr Kapoor helps your "loop" on the corruption of big Pharma and Dr Mengele', its head, administratively, financially, and as part of big Gov through so many US regimes. I can't imagine such evil.
Fast forward to "Mass Formation Psychosis", I read Desmet's book, "Psychology of Totalitarianism". I agree with Desmet's diagnosis of "psychosis" but disagree the psychosis is from "hypnosis." Strong evidence on the "non-existence" of "hypnosis" came from my personally knowing James Randi ( www.randi.org ), who had a $1,000,000 reward for ~30 years, to anyone who could demonstrate such capabilities as "hypnosis", psi, etc. Randi was a 1 in a billion human being.
IMHO, the psychosis is due, not to hypnosis, but to an almost complete breakdown of the education system in the US and many countries, clearly goosestepping to the NWO banker/oligarchs, who focus on brainwashing people to "believe" rather than "critically think and analyze". Organized religion doesn't help critical thinking, as it demands that its followers "believe" what's written and told to them, rather than gathering data and thinking. That, combined with the deletion of civics, ethics into school curriculums, the introduction of NWO "woke" agendas, and the mainstream media's (MSM), goosestepping with NWO activists to push parents to be little more than Lemmings. The success of the MSM and big GOV and Pharma can be estimated from observing people on the street and driving who wear masks.
Yes, let's always remember that Chomsky (Drone Onsky) has made lots of currency and, worse, has garnered unwarranted respect and regard. And his hot air has been a real threat to the environment for decades. And he wasn't even a good linguist.
With academic intellectual psychobabble designed to advance careers ,with the huge negative consequence of enabling the lemmings among us , to be lemmings ; it is fitting to observe the MSM pretending to act as though we individuals are all forsworn loyal indoctrinated members of Jim Jones’ tragic Guyana cult …. Jon beautifully elucidates in this article that we indeed are not.
Basically true, as usual, John. But I think most people who have jumped on the Mass Formation bandwagon, initially or eventually saw that the whole operation was BS, and many pushed back. It's just another way to help us understand the people who bought into the narrative, hook, line, and sinker, despite many of our best attempts to get them to exit the Matrix.
I'm with you Jon. Psychobabble for sure. The first time I listened to Desmet propose his theory, I was confused so I listened to part of another interview and came to the conclusion that this guy was way out on a limb. He's really making the rounds. I won't take any more time with it. Finally I read Dr. Breggin break this down; and of course he's getting the usual from those that believe they are victims. Thank you and the other best of the best minds letting people know: DON'T FALL FOR IT.

😎 excellent article. As usual. Thank you Jon.
Might go talk on my red phone in the bath tub lol
Exactly.

You've done it again. Clear as a bell. My deepest thanks.
> Because SIMPLE and STARK are your enemies.
Amen to that!
My objection is simple and stark. Im not mass formed so how could awareness of 'mass formation' defeat it?
