The psychosis is deep. We need to use the same psychological warfare techniques that the sadists used in order to undo the psychosis-insanity but, as we're all painfully aware, it is much more difficult because we do not control ALL mainstream media organisations. If there are people & groups with access to resources then I would suggest this: setting up a series of video projections & sound systems to project the best, most compelling, counter narrative information onto buildings & large infrastructure viewable from reasonably busy public areas. It would be best if there was coordination for multiple projections, preferably thousands, throughout cities, on certain dates (they turn up one day & disappear by the following day as if they never happened, appearing like random events each time making it difficult for [whoever] to get a handle on the situation & shut them down). The broadcast projections could be large or small & everything in between, including projections onto private dwellings that are viewable from the street. The important thing would be to have many, many of them in public areas so they are hard to miss.
"Spiritual eyes" is the answer to immunity from the Globalists' fraud and resultant psychosis. "Therefore, being justified by faith we have peace with God and our Lord Jesus Christ".
Foretold in the Book of Revelation, read it, believe it. God Bless You.
A recent article went someway to making sense of the madness. The author posited that many people in modern society are disconnected (‘atomized’ was the author’s term) and that a new Great Global Threat drew them together. The price of admission however was absolute adherence to the collective.
Addicts don't strictly get high just for the high. There's a bit of suicidal tendency behind it. Humans are a mess and the world has been getting crazy for a while now. The msm and "science" has people convinced that humans themselves are a plague. Technology is advancing so fast that many feel they'll be living in a world they don't understand and where they have no control.
Having been(and always am) an addict, I can tell you there's also a little thrill with every fix knowing that it could be your last and would finally be a way out. It also satisfies the thrill seeker in us like those who jump out of perfectly good airplanes.
Then there's also good old fashioned peer pressure and wanting to fit in with your tribe. That happens starting in school and continues into your chosen field and also happens in every cult.
When you say "humans are a mess and the world has been getting crazy" that is absolutely not true amongst the faithful or the preppers. We may see this as observers, but "the world" exists "outside" our rich inner life and personal connections which is what a lot of other people do not have. We have been aware and ready for this our whole lives and are not blinded by normalcy bias. I have noticed that among the vaccinated there is a lot of fatalism and suicidal tendency. Many of them have zero survival instinct, whether for the reasons you state as above or that they are suicidal for other reasons. You, too can make the switch to live a parallel life.
John 15:19 "If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you."
John 17:14-16 "I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world."
That's also the quintessence of the Rasmussen report: A third knows someone who got killed by the vaccine in both camps, yet one is more prone to believing in and thus being an injecting pharmadrug user by both mandate and choice. An irrational strategy to say the least, but humans aren't vulcans, he says, and stubs out cigarette in ashtray.. Then again, all of the - greatly or somewhat distantly - bereaved would most likely turn into non-injecting anti-vaxxers or even warriors of sorts, ie quit the syringe and inform/berate their peers in the other two thirds, who're exposed to TV channels with the occasional dosage of Tucker and Ledespo, while the suicide squad [with apologies to monty python] are followers of the liberal media, as in advertising the liberal application of boosters. In any case, uptake figures from around the world show that the last group are only a tiny fanatical fringe, with [criminal] mandates making up the rest. The end is nigh, and as other surveys have shown, we've reached the late prawda era of propaganda now: Noone believes a word they say, and many will reassess their attitude to vaxxing entirely, as have I.
IMO: What we are seeing are 1) the narcissistic traits in many people, and 2) the compliancy in many others. It isn't temporary madness or a manifestation of various factors. It is the unmasking of true natures.
Narcissism is foundational in psychopathy and sadism. Ditto for Machiavellianism. Having little to no empathy means you fake it when necessary, but are ruthless in order to succeed in achieving your goals. These folks are masters at manipulation and so are very adept at conning those who tend toward compliancy to go along with them.
Neither group is willing to admit a mistake. The narcissists HAVE to be right, no matter how wrong they are, and the conned compliant are unable to admit they were conned by those they trusted.
Another true believer war criminal bites the dust. One begins to wonder just how many more "useful idiots" there will be? I know a certain percentage will be in denial but this is getting so regular now you'd think they'd be getting worried.
Curious .. I have a dear friend from Tanzania. The term African American makes her mad because she says "I am African, and now I am an American. I am truly African American, they are not." I was wondering if your daughter-in-law felt this way as well?
One does not have to be an engineer or hold professional credentials outside of his professional path in oder to gain some knowledge in other areas, especially if this can be life saving. I am not an expert in vaccines and epidemiology, but read enough to educate myself what is bs, and what is sensible. From what I know Dr. Malone has teamed with a bunch of professionals from other fields (including lawyers, investment analysts, statistians, engineers, etc) in oder to develop strategies of standings up against latest tyrannical plans. Some of this plans include WEF, and global banking cartels to implement CBDC (central bank digital currency) and global digital surveillance system. Dr. Malone pays attention to what's going on in this area. This is global economic reset/agenda 2030. Mass vaccination was only one of the steps in that globalist agenda.

I received this article together Dr. Robert Malone's substack article, where he discusses the current process and effects of 5 generation warfare. There are few good thought provoking books written on 5 GW, and Dr. Malone shared the references... The point is that the mass psychosis that you are referring to in this article is very unlikely strange or accidental. There are many red flags and info pointing to sophisticated and prolonged use of psychosocial/mind control techniques and technologies by the governmental and other institutions. While I had some doubts how serious this is before the last 3 years of fear inducing psychotic medical "emergency". I can't find a more reasonable and logical explanation to the irrational, senseless, life sacrificing behavior that I have seen and that you described in this article - mainly that this is mind control and manipulation. I have seen former professors and PhD students, who I thought of as capable and deep critical thinkers, falling for this bogus science claims without much thinking. I've heard some completely ridiculous reasons and justifications for injecting the poison without any critical analysis and with ignorance of plenty of warning signs and available info. I've seen them wearing double masks and posting photos on social media about how sexy or colorful these coverings are (without ever questioning how harmful, ineffective and silly this can be)... I am still wondering what made me immune to this mind control influence, and is there an antidote or a blocking technique for this mass zombifying force?
a healthy sceptism must be the key. Even before this i was always very sceptical of mob mentality, no matter the issue. It has worked out well for me. I never just jump along to the "next thing" blindly. I quit social media prior to this scamdemic because of that. Something would happen, and then my entire timeline would be full of everyone espousing the exact same thoughts on the matter. Fundraisers would pop up. People would just blindly donate money to them having no idea who was in charge of it or where the money went. The scamdemic was that times a million. People just instantly followed every rule, while i was walking around maskless, wondering what the hell was going on. I found substack during that time and it kept me from losing my mind. This psychosis is a sevee mental illness at this point. People still jabbing up and walking around in masks are mentally ill and they dont realize it.
I’ve always had a distaste for following what everyone else was doing, the newest (fill in the blank), whatever it may be. That distaste always made me stand back and watch and wonder why everyone seemed to scramble to the latest new thing, or the way the majority was going regarding ANY thing. It never made sense to me. Staying off the bandwagons did on occasion make me feel left out but not enough to join in. I’m thankful for that. It developed in me a lifelong, deep desire to question and investigate everything. I too dumped FB and Twitter, the only SM I used at the time, around 2017-2018. It was just getting more inane over time and I couldn’t take it.
As Tanya said above, this phenomenon was not new with the onset of Covid. This behavior (and others) had been intentionally developed over decades, maybe over a century or close to it.
Those with the power to do so are being used by the ultimate evil one to participate in all these things and it’s he who teaches them the ways of deception and manipulation. That’s why they’re so good at it. The master of deception is guiding them. Many documentaries have come out now, like the Great Awakening, that give us the backstory, on the human level.
Then there’s the Bible. Prophecies have been fulfilled already, and many more are taking shape now. Revelation explains what’s coming and reading it helps one understand this “staging” phase we are currently in.
In the shadow of things to come is where we live currently. And as the steps of the staging process converge, events happen faster, closer together, overlapping in some cases, and they become more intense and more polarizing as each new disaster, catastrophe or some such emergency comes into play.
We can awaken only those who WILL awaken. Many will not. Awaken them first to the absurdities, then the intentional deception and massive campaign to brainwash, indoctrinate, and control, (among many other things they’ve incorporated into this), the world’s population. Then the awakening will go beyond the natural to the supernatural. Eventually, everyone will make a knowing choice for one side or the other.
Some may read this comment and think that I must have at least jumped on one bandwagon, that of belief in the Bible. I did not. I went the long way around. I researched and dabbled in, many religions, and no religion. I came by way of science, intellect, and Spiritual guidance, (in the form of real unexplainable occurrences). And much later in life than most.
It is an absolute truth that everyone needs to know. The more I see going on and compare it to what the Bible says is coming, the stronger my faith gets and the more urgent the need to tell others becomes. Time is short and the coming unavoidable decision is the most important one of your life, and your eternal destination.
Your last sentence, Jim, sums it up nicely. It wouldn’t be so bad, except when I’m in the pickup line I see teachers walking out of school still masked up. That is, some of the mentally ill are in positions of authority and influence....that’s the challenge.
I share your wondering.... from the very beginning I’ve been very skeptical. And thank goodness it stuck! But what is it about those of us who were not psychologically corrupted? Is it because we’re just cynics from the start? Too cynical for psyops to work? Or is there some personality trait that we have that others don’t (I mean, beyond cynicism). Thinking about those within my sphere, there are lots of people I know who politically are aligned, or near aligned, that are blue pilled. The opposite, however, is not true. I don’t know any red pills who are liberals. Interesting.
I think having experienced significant adversity at some stage makes people less susceptible to propaganda & thus more immune to the psy-op. Although, no doubt a number of factors influence how receptive or rejecting one is of fake narratives that are aggressively peddled. I also think knowing who you are and what your values are (aka having a very stable identity) helps one to see through obvious BS.
In other words, still fighting hard against all the same environmental toxins on food and soil and in water that are probably in the "magic juice" - and the entities producing and shoving them down our throats.
So still willing to defend all living beings, all species, from the onslaught.
But at this moment it appears the eye of sauron via injection, is squarely on the human species.
Fighting against toxic exposure in our environment or food does not make you a liberal. I’m against those things and have always wanted to protect the environment and the living things within it, but I’m far from liberal.
I've actually always been very conservative with resources and money and my body - and I've always hated all the stupid labels we're supposed to agree with!
Your and Jim's reply point to having a healthy skepticism as a possible helpful trait that prevented falling into mass psychosis pitfall... This might be one important factor. I admit that I too have been on a skeptical side. My skepticism for this specific event was rooted (I guess) in my experience living in USSR. From the start of this "health emergency" there were many signs that this is a power grab. It looked, it smelled totalitarian and anti-human. Many of my family members and friends with the same living in USSR background did not fall for this madness. However, there are enough people in those countries, who did. So, having this background was helpful, but was not a major mass psychosis protection factor. I guess, it's a combination of multiple things. For example, I also have an extensive background in financial analysis and auditing, which trained to look for red flags, inconsistencies and problems with data; not only look for this, but also search for plausible explanations. I ended up hating this career path for its disconnect with human/soul side of living... But how surprisingly helpful this background happened to be in 2020 and onward.
My business background helped. I too look for false data. If I make a decision using bad data it costs me. So I immediately dove into corona virus stuff January 2020 when it was first announced. A half hour of reading and I thought ‘this is nothing. Stupid fear mongering headlines. Typical cold.’ Then I watched insanity unfold. Even some normally reliable good thinkers fell for it for a few months.
The psychosis is deep. We need to use the same psychological warfare techniques that the sadists used in order to undo the psychosis-insanity but, as we're all painfully aware, it is much more difficult because we do not control ALL mainstream media organisations.

Dangerously close to horse sense, which the acculturated immune system of the human psyche seems to attack like a deadly pathogen. God help us.

Amen. All the answers are in there.

You have a larger audience so your word may prevail.
In a real world, both would flourish, with the slight definitional difference being acknowledged.
