Monday’s Reading: Genesis 21-23

Happy Monday and welcome to the next week in the ongoing saga of America Under Siege. Before Sunday service this morning I was talking with a friend about the hysteria surrounding the Chinese Bat Flu and its variants and how ridiculous we’ve all been in “following” the government’s “guidance” on dealing with the “pandemic” after the first two weeks to “flatten the curve.”

I closed the conversation with, “we’re led by idiots” to which he replied, “Absolutely.”

That shared sentiment is only one of two major ones with respect to the Peking Lung Pox, which I alluded to above when I mentioned the hysteria so many in our country have over the virus. People are still panicking over Covid like it has the power of Godzilla attacking New York City, when it is in fact no worse (now) than the common cold.

We’re experiencing something like a national psychosis. And I’m not far off the mark according to Dr. Robert Malone, inventor of the original mRNA vaccine patents and Medical Director of The Unity Project, a group of 300 organizations across the US standing against mandated COVID vaccines for children:

When you have a society that has become decoupled from each other, and has free-floating anxiety, and a sense that things don’t make sense, we can’t understand it, and then their attention gets focused by a leader or a series of events on one small point, just like hypnosis, they literally become hypnotized and can be led anywhere. And one of the aspects of that phenomena is that the people they identify as their leaders, the ones typically that come in and say, “You have this pain, and I can solve it for you, I and I alone, ok, can fix this problem for you.” OK, then they will follow that person through he(ll)—it doesn’t matter if they lied to them or whatever, the data are irrelevant. And, furthermore, anyone who questions that narrative is to be immediately attacked, they are the “other.” This is central to mass formation psychosis. And this is what has happened. We had all those conditions. If you remember back, before, 2019, everybody was complaining, “the world doesn’t make sense,” blah-blah-blah, and we’re all isolated from each other, we’re all on our little tools, we’re not connected socially anymore except through social media, and then this thing happened, and everybody focused on it. That is how mass formation psychosis happens and that is what’s happened here. (My transcription.)

In another article Malone provides other detail about mass formation psychosis:

What one observes with the mass hypnosis is that a large fraction of the population is completely unable to process new scientific data and facts demonstrating that they have been misled about the effectiveness and adverse impacts of mandatory mask use, lockdowns, and genetic vaccines that cause people’s bodies to make large amounts of biologically active coronavirus Spike protein.

These hypnotized by this process are unable to recognize the lies and misrepresentations they are being bombarded with on a daily basis, and actively attack anyone who has the temerity to share information with them which contradicts the propaganda that they have come to embrace. And for those whose families and social networks have been torn apart by this process, and who find that close relatives and friends have ghosted them because they question the officially endorsed “truth” and are actually following the scientific literature, this can be a source of deep anguish, sorrow and psychological pain.

[…]

As mass formation progresses, the group becomes increasingly bonded and connected. Their field of attention is narrowed and they become unable to consider alternative points of view. Leaders of the movement are revered, unable to do no wrong.

Left unabated, a society under the spell of mass formation will support a totalitarian governance structure capable of otherwise unthinkable atrocities in order to maintain compliance. A note: mass formation is different from group think. There are easy ways to fix group think by just bringing in dissenting voices and making sure you give them platforms. It isn’t so easy with mass formation. Even when the narrative falls apart, cracks in the strategy clearly aren’t solving the issue, the hypnotized crowd can’t break free of the narrative. This is what appears to be happening now with COVID-19. The solution for those in control of the narrative is to produce bigger and bigger lies to prop up the solution. Those being controlled by mass formation no longer are able to use reason to break free of the group narrative.

This all makes sense if you’re outside the C19 bubble. Nobody knew for sure how dangerous Covid-19 was when it was first identified, so we all agreed to isolate for two weeks to keep the spike in infections down so that hospitals wouldn’t be overwhelmed by the sick. But as we gained more knowledge about Covid, we found that those most at risk for the disease were older and had significant comorbidities, while younger people seemed to recover quickly and the very young were hardly affected at all. The overall chances of dying of Covid were infinitesimal, on the order of 0.5-1% with the risk of death substantially increasing in those aged 60 or older. We also learned that cloth or “surgical” masks were completely ineffective in stopping the transmission of the virus.

In other words, there was a lot of data suggesting we didn’t need to fear covid or take overly drastic measures except for the elderly, but the data and facts didn’t support the official narrative—and if you deviated from the narrative, you were shouted down or censored on social media. That continues today as Dr. Malone has been booted off of Twitter, notoriously known to silence those who contradict the official narrative.

What’s hard to get my head around is that this is all part of a plan. Not that I can’t believe those in charge wouldn’t attempt to do something like this, but that they’re actually smart enough to see the situation and take control of it in order to advance their agenda.

Here, in America.

Maybe we’re not led by idiots. Instead, they’re smartly following Rahm Emmanuel’s advice: “Never let a crisis go to waste.”
