Have You Been Smitten with “Mass Formation Psychosis?”

“If under… conditions a narrative is distributed through the mass media which indicates an object of anxiety and provides a strategy to deal with this object of anxiety, then all the free-floating anxiety might be associated to this object and a huge willingness might be observed to participate in the strategy to deal with the object of anxiety.”

Dr. Mattias Desmet
Professor of clinical psychology at Ghent University in Belgium

Elements of Mass Formation Psychosis;

1.) An event that creates anxiety and fear;

For example;

a.) Pearl Harbor

b.) JFK assassination
c.) 9-11
d.) Deep State Virus

2.) Isolation of individuals;

Until the Deep State Virus lockdown, I don’t know this has ever successfully been accomplished on such a wide scale. There was certainly isolation of individuals in London during the German bombing. I think one might argue that the Jap civilian prison camps were the isolation of individuals.

3.) Authority figure (leader or government) offers a solution;

Examples,

a.) FDR after Pearl Harbor

b.) Bush after 9-11
c.) Fauci/Collins w/ Deep State virus

4.) Repetition of a constant, controlled message of why people should be anxious, coupled with the specific, particular message of the group narrative.

The Media does this routinely with every outbreak of war more often than not conforming to the Government’s manipulation of the “news.”

a.) WW I — Remember Wilson’s Department of Information and the 4-minute men. See book, “Manipulating the Masses,” by John Maxwell Hamilton.

b.) WW II  — See Rolad Dahl’s role in manipulating US media in WW II run-up
c.) January 6th 2021
d.) Russia, Russia, Russia
e.) Deep State virus

5.) Censorship of any information or questioning of the “approved” message.

This is happening in spades with the Deep State virus and the quaxx narrative. Listened to parts of a 5 hour round-table with Jane today on the massive censorship of magnificently accredited Doctors who worked to counter to the official narrative.

Your biggest help to me dear reader will be to often remind me that God is Sovereign and that all that is, is because it pleases him.
