One of the hallmarks of totalitarianism is mass conformity to a psychotic official narrative. Not a regular official narrative, like the “Cold War” or the “War on Terror” narratives. A totally delusional official narrative that has little or no connection to reality and that is contradicted by a preponderance of facts.
Nazism and Stalinism are the classic examples, but the phenomenon is better observed in cults and other sub-cultural societal groups. Numerous examples will spring to mind: the Manson family, Jim Jones’ People’s Temple, the Church of Scientology, Heavens Gate, etc., each with its own psychotic official narrative: Helter Skelter, Christian Communism, Xenu and the Galactic Confederacy, and so on.
Looking in from the dominant culture (or back through time in the case of the Nazis), the delusional nature of these official narratives is glaringly obvious to most rational people. What many people fail to understand is that to those who fall prey to them (whether individual cult members or entire totalitarian societies) such narratives do not register as psychotic. On the contrary, they feel entirely normal. Everything in their social “reality” reifies and reaffirms the narrative, and anything that challenges or contradicts it is perceived as an existential threat.
These narratives are invariably paranoid, portraying the cult as threatened or persecuted by an evil enemy or antagonistic force which only unquestioning conformity to the cult’s ideology can save its members from. It makes little difference whether this antagonist is mainstream culture, body thetans, counter-revolutionaries, Jews, or a virus. The point is not the identity of the enemy. The point is the atmosphere of paranoia and hysteria the official narrative generates, which keeps the cult members (or the society) compliant.
In addition to being paranoid, these narratives are often internally inconsistent, illogical, and … well, just completely ridiculous. This does not weaken them, as one might suspect. Actually, it increases their power, as it forces their adherents to attempt to reconcile their inconsistency and irrationality, and in many cases utter absurdity, in order to remain in good standing with the cult. Such reconciliation is of course impossible, and causes the cult members’ minds to short circuit and abandon any semblance of critical thinking, which is precisely what the cult leader wants.
Moreover, cult leaders will often radically change these narratives for no apparent reason, forcing their cult members to abruptly forswear (and often even denounce as “heresy”) the beliefs they had previously been forced to profess, and behave as if they had never believed them, which causes their minds to further short circuit, until they eventually give up even trying to think rationally, and just mindlessly parrot whatever nonsensical gibberish the cult leader fills their heads with.
Also, the cult leader’s nonsensical gibberish is not as nonsensical as it may seem at first. Most of us, upon encountering such gibberish, assume that the cult leader is trying to communicate, and that something is very wrong with his brain. The cult leader isn’t trying to communicate. He is trying to disorient and control the listener’s mind. Listen to Charlie Manson “rapping.” Not just to what he says, but how he says it. Note how he sprinkles bits of truth into his stream of free-associated nonsense, and his repetitive use of thought-terminating clichés, described by Robert J. Lifton as follows:
“The language of the totalist environment is characterized by the thought-terminating cliché. The most far-reaching and complex of human problems are compressed into brief, highly selective, definitive-sounding phrases, easily memorized and easily expressed. They become the start and finish of any ideological analysis.” — Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism: : A Study of “Brainwashing” in China, 1961
If all this sounds familiar, good. Because the same techniques that most cult leaders use to control the minds of the members of their cults are used by totalitarian systems to control the minds of entire societies: Milieu Control, Loaded Language, Sacred Science, Demand for Purity, and other standard mind-control techniques. It can happen to pretty much any society, just as anyone can fall prey to a cult, given the right set of circumstances.
It is happening to most of our societies right now. An official narrative is being implemented. A totalitarian official narrative. A totally psychotic official narrative, no less delusional than that of the Nazis, or the Manson family, or any other cult.
Most people cannot see that it is happening, for the simple reason that it is happening to them. They are literally unable to recognize it. The human mind is extremely resilient and inventive when it is pushed past its limits. Ask anyone who has struggled with psychosis or has taken too much LSD. We do not recognize when we are going insane. When reality falls apart completely, the mind will create a delusional narrative, which appears just as “real” as our normal reality, because even a delusion is better than the stark raving terror of utter chaos.
This is what totalitarians and cult leaders count on, and exploit to implant their narratives in our minds, and why actual initiation rituals (as opposed to purely symbolic rituals) begin by attacking the subject’s mind with terror, pain, physical exhaustion, psychedelic drugs, or some other means of obliterating the subject’s perception of reality. Once that is achieved, and the subject’s mind starts desperately trying to construct a new narrative to make sense out of the cognitive chaos and psychological trauma it is undergoing, it is relatively easy to “guide” that process and implant whatever narrative you want, assuming you have done your homework.
And this is why so many people — people who are able to easily recognize totalitarianism in cults and foreign countries — cannot perceive the totalitarianism that is taking shape now, right in front of their faces (or, rather, right inside their minds). Nor can they perceive the delusional nature of the official “Covid-19” narrative, no more than those in Nazi Germany were able to perceive how completely delusional their official “master race” narrative was. Such people are neither ignorant nor stupid. They have been successfully initiated into a cult, which is essentially what totalitarianism is, albeit on a societal scale.
Their initiation into the Covidian Cult began in January, when the medical authorities and corporate media turned on The Fear with projections of hundreds of millions of deaths and fake photos of people dropping dead in the streets. The psychological conditioning has continued for months. The global masses have been subjected to a constant stream of propaganda, manufactured hysteria, wild speculation, conflicting directives, exaggerations, lies, and tawdry theatrical effects. Lockdowns. Emergency field hospitals and morgues. The singing-dancing NHS staff. Death trucks. Overflowing ICUs. Dead Covid babies. Manipulated statistics. Goon squads. Masks. And all the rest of it.
Eight months later, here we are. The Head of the Health Emergencies Program at the WHO has basically confirmed an IFR of 0.14%, approximately the same as the seasonal flu. And here are the latest survival rate estimates from the Center for Disease Control:
- Age 0-19 … 99.997%
- Age 20-49 … 99.98%
- Age 50-69 … 99.5%
- Age 70+ … 94.6%
The “science” argument is officially over. An increasing number of doctors and medical experts are breaking ranks and explaining how the current mass hysteria over “cases” (which now includes perfectly healthy people) is essentially meaningless propaganda, for example, in this segment on ARD, one of the big mainstream German TV channels.
And then there is the existence of Sweden, and other countries which are not playing ball with the official Covid-19 narrative, which makes a mockery of the ongoing hysteria.
I’m not going to go on debunking the narrative. The point is, the facts are all available. Not from “conspiracy theorist” websites. From mainstream outlets and medical experts. From the Center for Fucking Disease Control.
Which does not matter in the least, not to the members of the Covidian Cult. Facts do not matter to totalitarians and cult members. What matters is loyalty to the cult or the party.
Which means we have a serious problem, those of us to whom facts still matter, and who have been trying to use them to convince the Covidian cultists that they are wrong about the virus … for going on eight months at this point.
While it is crucial to continue reporting the facts and sharing them with as many people as possible — which is becoming increasingly difficult due to the censorship of alternative and social media — it is important to accept what we are up against. What we are up against is not a misunderstanding or a rational argument over scientific facts. It is a fanatical ideological movement. A global totalitarian movement … the first of its kind in human history.
It isn’t national totalitarianism, because we’re living in a global capitalist empire, which isn’t ruled by nation-states, but rather, by supranational entities and the global capitalist system itself. And thus, the cult/culture paradigm has been inverted. Instead of the cult existing as an island within the dominant culture, the cult has become the dominant culture, and those of us who have not joined the cult have become the isolated islands within it.
I wish I could be more optimistic, and maybe offer some sort of plan of action, but the only historical parallel I can think of is how Christianity “converted” the pagan world … which doesn’t really bode so well for us. While you’re sitting at home during the “second wave” lockdowns, you might want to brush up on that history.
Clever atheist, this Hopkins guy.
Very initiated, seems.
But, sorry to say, its baby-bathwater rethoric.
Not being a nazi-fan boy, even I can see their extremely successful economy.
And the special situation, created by the surrounding powers.
As for religion.
Well we are born, live and pass away.
Huge questions there, to which I think Jesus Christ, had words worth listening to.
Conclusively, his analysis of the covid-cult is very good, but in the end, he dismisses the very solution!
If COVID is a cult we do not know who its leader is. A proper study of cults calls all the religions one. And money -use is a cult. Does any adult not belong to one?
Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSBP) is a mental health problem in which a caregiver makes up or causes an illness or injury in a person under his or her care, such as a child, an elderly adult, or a person who has a disability. Because vulnerable people are the victims, MSBP is a form of child abuse or elder abuse.
Note: Since most cases of MSBP are between a caregiver (usually a mother) and a child, the rest of this topic will describe that relationship. But it is important to remember that MSBP can involve any vulnerable person who has a caregiver.
The caregiver with MSBP may:
Lie about the child’s symptoms.
Change test results to make a child appear to be ill.
Physically harm the child to produce symptoms.
Why does that sound like certain members of government?
Whoever and whatever is behind this Covidian cult it’s bigger than supranational it’s supranatural.
If Germany had had its way in continental Europe I wonder if the Jews today would have so much sway?
Aside from a little virtue signalling that plays to the section of truth seekers who refuse to bite the bullet on the “Jewish Question”, this is spot on about Christianity. It was a top down power play that the masses, presumably in order to make their way in the world, readily adopted. I always remember that after the Norman conquest, the most popular male name was “William” among the defeated Anglo Saxons.
So, Christianity is a cult that swept the ancient world like the Covid cult? The problem with that observation is that Christianity lacked any official approval in the ancient world until 313 AD under Constantine. Before that Christianity grew under tremendous persecution. It came directly from the Hebrew faith converting mainly Jewish communities throughput the Roman Empire. It was not a cult. It roots went deeply into the history of its Hebrew forbearers, and to many Jewish converts it was the only real power over their own personal sinfulness relative the the laws of God, and the only logical and spiritual fulfillment of the Hebrew faith, especially in the midst of the brutal, pagan, cultish, hedonistic, might-makes-right Roman empire, commonly referred to as the “world”. For gentiles it offered the same salvation. It was a religion which, had a great resilience to setbacks with the continued personal conversions, and people coming back to its roots, seeing its enduring newness and continuing to be an unfailing light in a very dark world. As a religion with beliefs atheists like to say are impossible, it absorbed many of the findings of philosophers like Plato and Aristotle, who were true seekers of wisdom, which views were compatible with its core beliefs and principles. After the collapse of the Roman Empire its monasteries became the only repositories of knowledge and learning in the West, while for hundreds of years Christian communities were attacked, raped and pillaged, by pagan Viking, Nordic, and Asiatic hoards, most of which eventually were drawn to conversion, either by personal conversions or by their tribal leaders, becoming part of the growth of the new civilization. The monastic centers became in many places the sites of large European cities and universities, and the religion carried on to the present day where it has largely been weakened and suppressed by various agnostic and atheistic forces, which have brought our civilization back in many respects to the excesses of ancient Rome.
Hopkins could do better by applying his cult checking principles to such things as the official sponsoring of such things as Physicalism, Empiricism, Idealism, Rationalism, in our universities molding politically-correct, arrogant secular humanists devoid of any real spirituality. He could also use the same tools to check out Capitalism, Keynesian Economics, Marxism, Communism, and Fascism, and a host of other isms which have brainwashed the masses into excesses and wars. He would find in each “ism” as with any religion the same elements of cult behavior, but he would also find elements of truth mixed in with error. What he would lack in his ultimate relativism is any real lasting and transcendent standard to pick our of the mix what was good and what was evil. If he thought he had such a standard he would have to apply his “superior” but, nevertheless, very limited foresight, depending on his own conditioning, perhaps in the same way all of the elite planners have done in concocting things such as Agenda 21 and the Covid plandemic, and he would try to make decisions either for the betterment of mankind or for its harm and eventual destruction. And that is the problem.
If there is no God, no true guidance from the unmoved mover who exists, no personal contact through faith, silence, prayer, purity of heart, and humility, then we are lost to our own devices. We are either alone in a forlorn vast and meaningless universe casting all truth in the image of our own temporal interests and limited foresight, or we are really capable of being spiritually connected to and guided by God, and connected as well to each other by that same spirituality. We know that there is Being and we know that there is Becoming. We are either to become what God planned and intended for us which we can know only through that one light, vision or touch of his, or we can continue to be led by the cultish charlatans, whose deceptive and monstrous natures and now clearly been show to many of us in the massive plandemic and Agenda 21 scams. These people are not of the true God despite their humanitarian carrots, homogenized religions, and visions of a their greener, smarter, fairer utopia through their imposition through stealth and fear of a totalitarian and technocratic world order, and left to their devices they will surely make monsters of mankind.
What Christianity has done over the long term is to test that which endures and connotes Christ into the body of the truth. What has maintained its life is not any brainwashing, mind-numbing cult of fear, or even the various hierarches. The strength is a spiritual one, were individuals have had miraculous interventions in their lives to completely be transformed from within. What spiritual personal presence can any rational person trust to possess their hearts and souls than the person of Christ? When one clearly sees what is good, their spiritual hunger is awakened which is the appetite of the soul, and they want to devour it.
The hierarchies in a spiritual sense are not really the head of the dog but the tail. When the hierarches do get caught up with the cults of the world like the Vatican these days with Marxism and the Agenda 21 roll outs, we see that instead of really being there to provide spiritual balance and sober direction in a very corrupt, violent and dangerous world, the tail then only serves to mislead the entire body of the Church.
“Cult” is, of course, an insult-word and you will not call yours one. If Christianity is not one, is Islam? Is Buddhism? Jehovah’s Witnesses? The Branch Davidians? Modern Zoroastrians? All religions except yours and maybe we give a nod to its main rival? Now we are in politics and will see the hypocrisy. After, but also before, Charlemagne Christianised with the sword, Islam did, and I might discount all these forced conversions and let them be called cult-members, with sword-wielding leaders creating Stockholm Syndrome. Either way, all the big religions can be called cults by outsiders.
Christianity, a church of people following the example of Christ was meant to prevent things like the “Covidian Cult” coming into existence.
Very sad to see all establishment Christian churches co-operating in this scam.
It has been brought to my attention that the Jehovah Witness religion has gone down in the great global lock-down.
Zoom has now become it’s only mode of official business.
Is this so in the country you live in?
Last time I searched this subject everything appeared to be behind a pay wall.
I have had some success today.

Covid 19 coronavirus: Jehovah’s Witnesses put faith in White Pages as door-knocking out
By: Kim Knight Feature writer, NZ Herald
kim.knight@nzherald.co.nz@kimknightnz
Never mind the Bible – the new good book is alphabetised.
Jehovah’s Witness has turned to the White Pages as Covid-19 restrictions prevent traditional door-to-door evangelising.
Spokesman Victor Iorama says New Zealand’s 183 congregations, which have not worshipped together since March, are now following a global Covid-induced instruction to ‘witness’ via telephone, email and text message.
“We’ve had to be creative in reaching people. We would normally go out and knock on doors. Obviously we value life and we want to do it safely.”
Members were working from publicly available phone lists and some had bought Habitation Indexes, which sort electoral roll names by residential address. No statistics had been collected regarding the actual number of phone calls being made, but the practice was nationwide.
“It’s been a bit of a learning curve,” said Iorama. “But there are no dogs to deal with, or that sort of thing.
“We probably do get a few who get hung up on, but that’s okay. It’s the same thing as when we knock on someone’s door and get shooed away.”
Iorama said there was no quota or set script, but every member was expected to honour their faith’s commitment to “talk about the good news and talk about our God Jehovah and that could be by any means”.
“Door-to-door was the main thing but, in these times, it’s either by phone or writing and text messaging.”
Iorama said some recipients indicated they preferred phone calls to an in-person visit and had booked weekly chats.
“We’ve had great, positive feedback from people in the community who have welcomed just having someone look out for them.”
Statistics New Zealand Census data showed 91.6 per cent of households had landline telephone access in 2006, but that had dropped to 62.5 per cent by 2018. Meanwhile, cellphone access had climbed from 74 per cent in 2006 to 91 per cent in the most recent Census, and 86 per cent of households had internet access.
Tania Torea, Pacific area assistant communication director for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, says social media has become an important tool during the pandemic.
She said that, when New Zealand went into level 4 lockdown, the church raced to bring home around 100 young missionaries from around the world. They were now reassigned locally, “reaching out through Facebook, posting messages of hope and peace in Jesus Christ and people are responding with kindness and a desire to learn more.
Take the vaccine poll:
https://www.worldvaccinepoll.com/
It is worldwide for Jehovah’s Witnesses all using Zoom, in the UK the Pfizer vaccine has been confirmed not to have blood in it so it is a personal choice if any Witness wishes to take it.
Too bad that there is not a informed positive lead from the “Governing Body” declaring something like, “we all eight of us are all united and do declare that we shall not be taking the vaccine.
The eight governing body members actually should freely divulge who will and who will not be taking the vaccine.
I doubt they will and that’s because they are cowards.
Too bad that there is not an informed positive lead coming from the “Governing Body” declaring something like, “we, all eight of us are all united and do declare that we shall not be taking the this dangerous vaccine.
The eight governing body members actually should freely divulge who will and who will not be taking the vaccine.
I doubt they will divulge such information because they are cowards and want to remain sweet with the government
I see this is where the nutters come to release their hypergraphia.
Get a grip
Goyboy
I agree
