Well, gosh, this is kind of embarrassing. For approximately the last two and a half years, I have been documenting, analyzing, and occasionally satirizing the so-called \u201cNew Normal,\u201d i.e., the new, pathologized, official ideology that has been rolled out all across the planet by the global-capitalist ruling classes under the pretext of combating an apocalyptic pandemic \u2026 or at least that\u2019s what I thought was going on.<\/p>\n
As it turns out, I was totally wrong.<\/p>\n
Apparently, the global-capitalist ruling establishment (or \u201cGloboCap,\u201d as I often refer to the unaccountable, supranational network of global corporations, banks, governments, and non-governmental governing entities that unaccountably govern our world) has not been rolling out a new official ideology, or\u00a0pathologized form of totalitarianism<\/a>, or not intentionally in any event.<\/p>\n No one has been methodically gaslighting anyone, or terrorizing anyone with propaganda, or censoring or segregating anyone, or coercing anyone to get needlessly \u201cvaccinated\u201d with any sort of dangerous experimental drugs, or consciously conspiring with anyone to do anything.<\/p>\n Everyone has simply been suffering from Mass Formation Hypnosis Disorder!<\/p>\n I know, you probably find this hard to believe, especially because I have been making precisely the opposite case for over two years now, but I saw it on the Alex Jones show! Mattias Desmet, a professor from Belgium, and \u201cthe world\u2019s leading expert\u201d on this new disorder, explained it all in meticulous detail.<\/p>\n According to Desmet, the way this disorder works is, people feel \u201clonely and isolated,\u201d which makes them feel angry, but they don\u2019t have anything or anyone to unleash their anger on, so they form a mass and hypnotize each other, and invent a new fanatical ideology that they all fanatically hypnotically believe in, which, at that point, their rulers, who are also hypnotized, have no choice but to go full-totalitarian, and hypnotize everyone even more, because that is what the hypnotized mass demands, so that they can finally unleash their anger on someone, i.e., those who have managed to avoid being hypnotized (one assumes with some special anti-hypnosis technology, but I don\u2019t think Professor Desmet explained that part).<\/p>\n And, OK, before you hypnosis deniers start sending me emails denying the power of hypnosis to totally totalitarianize society, listen to Professor Desmet explain how surgeons in Belgium are routinely performing open-heart surgery on hypnotized patients without any anesthetic whatsoever! They just saw right through their breastbones with a sternum saw, ratchet open their rib cages with a sternal retractor, and start slicing into the patients\u2019 hearts \u2026 and these patients don\u2019t even flinch or anything!\u00a0He has witnessed this with his own two eyes!<\/a><\/p>\n Or, all right, it seems he hasn\u2019t actually witnessed this with his own two eyes. It seems he was actually just lying when he said that, which he confessed to in a lengthy Facebook post (after people pointed out that he had lied) in which he publicly wondered why he had lied, and then rationalized his lie with various excuses, and posted several misleading links in an attempt to suggest that he hadn\u2019t actually lied, despite the fact that he had just admitted he did, and just generally tried to muddy the waters with a lot of awkward psychobabble.<\/p>\n But I don\u2019t mean to cast aspersions. Professor Desmet is, after all, \u201cthe world\u2019s leading expert\u201d on \u201cMass Formation Psychosis\u201d or simply \u201cMass Formation\u201d or whatever you want to call this fairy tale that he and others have been peddling, not just on clown shows like Alex Jones\u2019, but to massive audiences like\u00a0Tucker Carlson\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0\u2026<\/p>\n Seriously now, I have been aware of Desmet\u2019s theory for some time, but I had mostly held my tongue about it because (a) I considered it relatively harmless, and (b) I\u2019m generally reluctant to tear another vocal opponent of the New Normal a new asshole. We get enough of that from the New Normal \u201cfact checkers.\u201d However, unfortunately, this \u201cmass hypnosis\u201d gibberish has gained enough traction that it has now become dangerous, so I need to do a little new-asshole-tearing. (Fanatical fans of Professor Desmet will probably want to navigate away at this point.)<\/p>\n Ready? OK, here we go.<\/p>\n What we\u2019ve been experiencing for the past two and a half years \u2014 and arguably the last six and a half years \u2014 is not the result of \u201cmass hypnosis.\u201d The global-capitalist ruling establishment is destabilizing and restructuring societies, globally. The people that\u00a0staged and published this photograph in January 2020<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0lied to the masses about the Covid death rate (i.e., 3.4%)<\/a>\u00a0a few months later were not mass-hypnotized. They knew what they were doing.<\/p>\n Likewise, the people who went New Normal (i.e., the vast majority of most societies) were not \u201cmass hypnotized\u201d or in some kind of trance. They were simply looking out for themselves by conforming to the new official \u201creality.\u201d This is standard behavior in totalitarian systems, and cults, and even non-totalitarian systems. I explained it this way in\u00a0a recent interview<\/a>\u00a0\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cTotalitarianism can be imposed on\u00a0any\u00a0<\/em>society if the government, or whatever structure rules it, controls the essential elements of power (i.e., the military, the police, the media, the culture industry, etc.). Once the transition to totalitarianism begins, you can count on roughly two thirds of the society either embracing it or acquiescing to it, not because they are in some vulnerable psychological state, but rather because they correctly perceive which way the wind is blowing and they don\u2019t want to challenge the totalitarian regime and be punished for doing so. They are not hypnotized or under any other kind of spell. It\u2019s pure survival instinct. \u2026 Not to put too fine a point on it, but most people are either perfectly content to conform to whatever type of society those in power impose on them as long as their basic needs are met, or they are not content [to do so], but they are cowards, so they stand by in silence. I don\u2019t mean that as a judgment or an insult. Cowardice and the ability to abandon one\u2019s principles (or not having any principles in the first place) are very positive traits to have if your goal is survival. When a society goes totalitarian or is otherwise occupied and radically transformed, it\u2019s the rebels and dissidents who get lined up against the wall and shot, not the cowards and collaborators.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I realize how harsh that sounds. It\u2019s meant to, and at the same time, it isn\u2019t. We are, all of us, capable of such cowardice and betrayal of our fundamental principles, given the right set of circumstances. Everyone has a breaking point. If you haven\u2019t experienced yours yet \u2026 well, I hope you never do.<\/p>\n The point is, we are dealing with questions of power, not a psychological condition. Desmet\u2019s theory pathologizes the political essence of totalitarianism, just like the official New Normal narrative pathologizes and displaces its political character, rendering it immune to political opposition, and rendering its opponents \u201cconspiracy theorists,\u201d or \u201cparanoid,\u201d or otherwise divorced from \u201creality,\u201d thus stripping us of political legitimacy.<\/p>\n In this \u201cMass Formation\u201d fairy tale, the political conflict disappears. The totalitarian system and those who resist it are replaced by a psychiatrist and a psychiatric patient. In this story, there is no one and nothing to fight. We just need to find a \u201ccure\u201d or a \u201ctreatment\u201d for this bizarre new psychiatric disorder that keeps causing the masses to hypnotize each other and invent some new fanatical totalitarian ideology in order to alleviate the pent-up frustration caused by their loneliness and isolation by unleashing their rage on unhypnotized persons!<\/p>\n Or whatever \u2026 maybe I don\u2019t understand the nuances of \u201cMass Formation\u201d theory. I\u2019m not a professional psychologist or anything. I\u2019m sure one or two of Professor Desmet\u2019s fans will be happy to explain it all to me, if they\u2019re not too busy undergoing open-heart surgery without anesthetic. I wouldn\u2019t want to interfere with that!<\/p>\n CJ Hopkins\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/consentfactory.files.wordpress.com\/2022\/09\/image-1.png?w=615\")
