Why Speaking the Truth Matters as an Antidote to Mass-Formation Psychosis

Professor of Psychology, Mattias Desmet, from the University of Ghent in Belgium, explains the known behavioural techniques that are used to manipulate large population groups
The 19th century French Polymath, Gustave Le Bonne, was the first to define Mass-Formation as a type of psychosis that affects large population groups. He observed the characteristics of modernity were typically that 20-30% of society were vulnerable to this type of influence on belief and behaviour. Essentially they are the first faction of society to believe a collective lie that is usually projected by the state. The Belgian psychologist Mattias Desmet summarised Le Bonne’s theory coincident with the presence of two neccessary catalysts to render a population group prone to this Mass-formation psychosis: first, isolation leading to loneliness, and second, factoids attached with emotions.
Difference between Dictatorships and Totalitarianism
In Soviet Russia, Nazi Germany and the later Stasi-run East Germany, contrary to popular belief these regimes did not develop as classical dictatorships, with top down dictats being the primary control mechanisms. They developed as irrational entities of Totalitarianism, forged as a result of a blend of emotional attachments linked to prolonged isolation. Desmet was the first to bring this truth to wider attention during the global Covid-regime.
Mass-Formation – Seeded by Emmotional Messaging in Combination with Isolation
In 2010, the UK Government under David Cameron, employed a French Behavioural Psychologist specialised in techniques of hypnosis and mass psychosis. The purpose was to setup a ‘Nudge Unit’ to use behavioural psychology, to nudge the population into compliance with state goals.
During the very early stages of the Covid Lockdown – a term originally used exclusively for prisoners – the population was already subject to stringent conditions of isolation. Leaked minutes from the UK Government’s SPI-B and Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE), discussed methods to persuade the British public to comply with its dictats using hard-hitting media headlines attached to emotional messaging. It worked. There were those who were significantly traumatised to the psychosis of fear of death that in Stasi-esque fashion, with encouragement from the State, they willingly turned on neighbours for contravening the pettiest of dictats.
Le Bonne then said that under Mass-Formation, 50-65% of society would remain silent knowing it to be a lie. During the Covid -regime there were also those who in governments or the medical fraternity knew the state dictats to be at best unscientific, at worst a lie, yet for political, economic or reputational gain chose to remain silent. While the public were being heavily fined for non compliance, with prohibitions on weddings, funerals and hospital visits to see dying friends and relatives, the government that created those rules were found guilty of contravening their own dictats on no less than 13 occasions, enough to force the resignation of the PM and several other senior state actors.
Le Bonne classified a minority group within Mass-formation, registering around 5-20% of the population, who were enlightened and brave enough not to remain silent. He pointed out that the more enlightened and resilient group always remained frustrated and disappointed at the disinterested reception from the masses and their refusal to wakeup. The reason being the vulnerable group is less moved by naked truth transmitted without emotional attachment.
Why Truth Matters
As is often the case in Totalitarian regimes, when the minority group in society that consistently spotlights truth and err, the indoctrinated group under Mass-Formation usually does not escalate the psychosis to the final stage. Desmet points out that history often attests the final stage is characterised by violence directed on those that remain silent, and then on themselves. 20th century dictatorships so often concluded in the instigators of the Mass-formation turning on each other, destroying themselves after destroying those who remain silent.
Setting Climate Change and Net Zero to one side as an environmental canard, it presents a real threat to the cost of living. More than this, the entire West is under several self-inflicted threats from fomented wars, almost entirely on countries possessing natural resouces or which have refused to sign up to the globalist financial system. There is also a war on indigenous farming aswell as on native populations from mass migration. This manifold weaponisation is almost exclusively orchestrated by global interests, with illegal and legal migration being facilitated at the top irrespective of Left-Right politics, and from the lower ranks has gained traction from a perculiar alliance between the Far and Progressive Left and Islam. That two diametrically opposed ideologies should align with each other, the strict medieval religious practices of sharia on the one side, with the licence of the Progressive Left, whose practices under other circumstances would undoubtedly result in the penalty of death in Islamic countries, is testament to the globalist grip from those overseeing the spectacle.
Silence Dissenting Voices by Isolation and Emotional Labelling
The migration threat to the West, moreover the UK, amounts to an unprecedented demographic makeover unfolding since the Blair Labour Government in 1997, accelerated in four years by the Conservative Government under Johnson and now under the present Starmer Labour Government. It represents a migration pattern of predominantly young men of culturally incompatible origins, far greater than the entire combined effects of the Romans, Saxons, Normans and Vikings, which happened in much smaller number and over a period of several hundred years. Furthermore the Romans and Vikings did not remain and the Norman conquest impacted more on royalty.
When Keir Starmer was interviewed by the BBC one year before his election as UK PM, about his preference if offered a job in the globalist think tank, World Economic Forum or UK PM, without hesitation responded: “The WEF.” Those who doubt the influence of globalism on the shores of little Great Britain are uneducated. It was Klaus Schwab, CEO of the WEF, who before the mainstream media candidly stated his think tank had penetrated over half the cabinets of the West with their Young WEF members. How did the globalists manage to take things this far with migration then?
Every UK election has been tracked since the sixties and in each one mass migration was an issue for the voters. Since the sixties to the present, each elected party failed to deliver on promises of restricting immigration. With the help of MSM and spread of Stalinist labelling to accuse dissenters as “racists”, it explains how marginalising dissent leads to another type of isolation with the result of divide and conquer.
The only cure for society, sick of lies, propaganda and emotional manipulation, says Desmet, is sincerity. Truth is fundamental to the human condition.
Ever Wondered Why Policy Hardly Changes Even With a Change of Political Party?
“The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can “throw the rascals out” at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy.”
― Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time (1966)
Quigley was no ordinary man. A professor of Political Science from Georgetown University, he not only mentored William Jefferson Clinton, but he became the official historian to arguably the most powerful group of oligarchs, bankers, politicians and aristocrats to have emerged since the Knights Templars in the Late Medieval Period, or the Medicis of Renaissance Italy or the Bavarian Illuminati of 18th century Germany.
Clinton served as president of the United States from 1993 to 2001. So influential on Clinton was Quigley that the 42nd president paid tribute to Quigley at his acceptance speech as Democratic presidential nominee to the Democratic National Convention.
Quigley’s 1300 page opus, “Tragedy and Hope”, sets out the history of the world since Cecil Rhodes established a trust and formed a secret society in 1891. The book transitions through WWI, onto how the UK Government was ruled by 4 parties in the lead up to WWII: 2 inner, and 2 outer.
The 2 inner parties controlled the 2 outer parties by virtue of their political influence, which, in turn, was manufactured by their financial wealth. Their goal was three-fold: 1) to take government to the English speaking world, 2) recover America under the group’s control following the independence it won during the revolutionary war of 1776, and 3) to concentrate the wealth of the world, using the central banks, into fewer and fewer hands.
The group added to its numbers graduates from Oxford University and Toynbee Hall, who were recruited by Lord Alfred Milner to run his administration. The Milner group, as it was also known, went into influential posts in government and international finance, and became the dominant influence in British imperial and foreign affairs up to 1939. Through Rhodes Trust they were able to establish the Royal Institute of International Affairs at Chatham House in London. RIIA satellites were setup in the chief British dominions, while in the USA, it was called the Council on Foreign Relations. Similar satellites were established in the Pacific, called the Institute of Pacific Relations.
With WWII looming, Quigley termed the 2 controlling parties, 1) “The Anglo American Establishment” and 2) “The anti-Bolsheviks”. Quigley also referred to the Anglo American Establishment as “The Round Table Groups”, or “The International Bankers”, or for brevity, “The Bankers”. The first group, as the name suggests, constituted mostly English and American bankers, and was not unfriendly to Russia, but anti-German. The anti-Bolsheviks, on the other hand, were pro-German and anti-Russian. The relationship between both groups could be complex at times, as some members, like Jan Smuts, the political figure who later figured in South African politics, were members of both parties.
Quigley reported that the bankers used their influence in the Times Newspaper, which they owned through the Astor family, to convince the British Academic class that Germany had been harshly treated for the reparations imposed on them following the League of Nations decision to conclude WWI. The motives of the bankers was to extend a credit line to the Reich-bank so as to permit Hitler rebuild the Rhineland. The bankers wanted to foment another World War in which they desired peace established by bringing together the 3 main forces. Quigley termed it the “3-bloc world.” The group established that Germany could never beat Britain, since they would have Stalinist Russia on its eastern flank. Similarly they figured that Russia could not prevail against Britain and its American ally since Hitler’s Germany would act as a bulwark. It clearly mattered not to the bankers that the results of their plottings should end in the deaths of 50+million military and civilians.
To the average person, the machinations outlined above might well sound unbelievable since they themselves could never contemplate such skulduggery. Research into psychopathy is the necessary smelling salts to bring the reader into reality. For instance, a study of many of the elites of the late 1700s reveals an obsession with Mathusianism – the pseudoscience that calls for the reduction of population size. Thomas Malthus, an English economist (1766-1834) and the man who lent his name to the ideology, promoted the scare that food supply would be outstripped by population growth. Sound familiar?
Malthius influenced a host of naturalists, including Charles Darwin, and economists like John Meynard Keynes. Continuity in his ideology persists today and crops up in think tanks and focus groups like the Optimum Population Trust, the United Nations, and its affiliates, like the World Economic Forum and World Wildlife Fund. Its doctrine resonates among the great and the good (refer to my artcle “Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Phillip, the Occult and the Nazi Nexus.”) Malthusian pseudoscience is dressed up in the canard of “Climate Science”, but that is a topic warranting a descussion space of its own.
It should be mentioned that the preoccupation with population control found truck with local societies within British and US hierarchy, most notably the Fabian Society in Britain, the group that spawned the Labour Party. One of its founding patrons, playwright George Bernard Shaw, made some provocative statements about population control that should shock everyone to their core. He advocated that humans should present themselves before a committee every 5-7 years to account for their consumption of resources, whether they consumed more than they produced. He admitted he would like to see them killed if they were greater consumers than producers.
Returning to Quigley’s Tragedy and Hope, and his dialectic that the concept of left or right is merely academic, a phantom designed to give ordinary voters the perception of free choice, with the power to “throw the rascals out” and yet without any real change. This tells us the voting systems we have in Britain with the constitutional Monarchy and in America, the Republic, are rigged. They are both nothing more than a duopoly. For instance, we learned during the Labour Blair era, that both Tony Blair and Gordon Brown’s role model was former Conservative PM Margaret Thatcher. Similarly, when the Conservatives succeeded the Blair cabinet in 2010 under David Cameron, the Tory PM admitted he modelled his leadership style on Tony Blair. The Daily Mail, a traditionally Tory aligned paper, termed Cameron’s cabinet ‘blue labour’.
In the interview with Whitney Webb, the blogger outlines how both Democrat and Republican parties are funded by Peter Thiel’s Palantir. Webb describes how Palantir was established with CIA money and builds on software developed in the eighties (called Promis). The software was stolen from its company, INSLAW, and emerged in US intelligence use for surveillance of terrorist activities, or anything defined by the state as an ‘enemy.’ Journalist Danny Casolaro was set to blow the back story of Promis wide open, then was murdered. A Netflix series covers Casolaro’s investigation before his murder, but may be viewed on YouTube (below).
By the time 911 happened on the world, another derivative of Promis software had been developed to detect enterprise fraud. Indira Singh was employed by JP Morgan Chase to develop this software. After discovering that a Saudi software company called P-Tech, owned by a tycoon on a terrorist watchlist, had access to the FAA computer security system in the leadup to 911, Singh presented her findings to JP Morgan Chase. She was told, “back off or face the consequences.“
The software US State intelligence apparatus has at its disposal now has been developed to predict crime under the moniker ‘pre-crime.’ * Who said Hollywood blockbusters are all mere science fiction fantasy. Recall the film “Minority Report (2002)?”

A War of Words - The Information War
“All warfare is based on deceit!”
Sun Tzu (544-496 BC)
“The first casualty when war comes is truth!”
(US Senator Hiram Warren Johnson, 1918)
“In a time of universal deceit – telling the truth is a revolutionary act!”
(attributed to George Orwell, 1903-1950, and others)
While watching an interview with Prof. Jeffrey Sachs, on Piers Morgan’s YouTube channel, I could not help notice some of the vacuous comments. While Morgan always strives to naysay the arguments used against the typical western narrative (aka that “in the name of ‘democracy'” trope) I was encouraged to see fewer comments arising in favour of war. This may be because most people are wising up to the old stereotypes. It may also be because the war drums are beating ever louder in 2024, a catalogue of reckless interventions with western arrogance that would inevitably lead to a world war, which would only enrich the elite and bring on an unprecedented culling of the masses. The common masses, if they have any vestiges of common sense, must recognise their own vulnerability in this.
War mongering comments are no longer difficult to recognise. They traditionally promote the common stereotypes of a demonised foe – Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi and Bashar Al Assad yesterday, Putin today, perhaps Xi and the Brics nations tomorrow. All but weak evidence is usually never provided in support of such arguments.
I leave an Op-Ed type comment below, in an effort to highlight some of the arguments I encountered on the Ukraine issue, possibly because of ignorance and possibly because western counterintellegence is at work, as was revealed during the Covid-19 pandemic era. I also leave the relevant interviews for your convenience.
It is the Ukraine that press gangs its men of fighting age, puts a gun in their hands and sends them to the front with little more than a few hours firing practice. Then on top of that, they have anti retreat units that shoot their own soldiers for desertion. Now with half a million dead by all rational estimates, and running out of personnel, the same press gangs have turned to abducting the young, the old and the mentally infirmed. Meanwhile BlackRock has already negotiated the rites to rebuild Ukraine (West), profiting from the blood of their citizens.
The US is happy to do all this, in the name of ‘democracy’. They send billions of dollars in weapons, a third of which has been documented not to reach the frontline. At the same time the US cannot do anything about the rise of tent cities. On top of that, it has been documented ad nausium that NATO has several labs in the Ukraine which have been experimenting on gain of function experiments with viral vectors. This concept led to the US banning gain of function on American soil, but you may recall a certain incident in Wuhan, China, around 2019, the evidence is all coming out now how that began. It had nothing to do with trading exotic animals in a wet market. Gain of function can be weaponised by the military and targeted at different racial groupings.
As for the differences between the USSR and Russia, it’s a myth that they are exactly one and the same. Whereas the former censored western businesses and culture, a cursory look at a contemporaneous Moscow or St Petersburg High Street, you would notice a McDonalds, Apple, Rolls Royce, etc. Even when western companies began to pull out so they could virtue signal their stance on sanctions, many remained and just rebranded. Did the sanctions work? Russia emerged with a stronger Ruble.
When the West decided to sanction Iraq, under the UN, they murdered 500,000 children by starvation and malnutrition. When US Secretary of State, Madeline Albright, was interviewed about that, she said, “We think the price was worth it!” Furthermore, most in the West are ignorant to how the USSR emerged in the first place. For that I would direct your attentions to Professor Antony Sutton, who authored Wall St and the Bolshevik Revolution. It certainly wasn’t an organic uprising, but a western sponsored coup following long running resentments to bring down the Russian Royal family among other grudges.
Take the Reece Committee hearings? Norman Dodd, the American banker and bank manager, who worked as a financial advisor and served as chief investigator in 1953 for the Special Committee on Tax Exempt Foundations (commonly referred to as the Reece Committee), which was chaired by U.S. Congressman B. Carroll Reece. Dodd was known primarily for his controversial investigation into tax-exempt foundations. His sum up of the pernicious and deceptive use of Foundation money was not only to hide the elites’ earnings, but that..
“We shall use our grant-making power so to alter life in the United States that it can be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union.”
So while the Russian Federation is emerging to look more like the US of the 50-70s, the US (and the West as an economic and cultural entity) is imploding like the USSR under its own decadence. As for Putin, sure he is a former KGB. Do I completely trust him? No! Do I trust any of the frontline politicians in the West? Show me one frontline politician I can trust?
At least I will say this for Putin. His long speeches of 2 or more hours demonstrate an educated mind that is more direct, more truthful than the lies emerging from the mouths of our own politicians. Professor Sachs wasn’t lying when he called out the Western canards and bald-faced lies over the Minsk 2 agreement and NATO expansion. Notice that Morgan tried as he might to refute that, but capitulated in the end. He received a similar drubbing when he interviewed John Mearsheimer.
Putin is frequently singled out for his former KGB credentials, but those who do so overlook the company that a coterie of western leaders keep, one after the other, sell-outs of their own people for mammon. Every president, bar one up to the millennium was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). The late professor Carroll Quigley, the official historian for this group, an offshoot from the Royal Institute for International Affairs (RIIA) out of Chatham House, London, wrote how the US had been controlled by a parallel government for the best part of 100 years. That was back in 1966! He wrote that the groups – CFR/RIIA- were responsible for WW2 and whose aim was to concentrate the finances of the world into fewer and fewer hands using the Central Banks.
1.8 trillion dollars moved from SMEs to the Big Tech companies alone during the ‘pandemic’ of 2020-2022, when Amazon and the like did very well. Covid never found its way on to their parcels, but schools and SMEs had to shut down because their work surfaces were contaminated (you will forgive the sarcasm). While this happened on our own government’s watch, the illegal immigrants continued to be boated and bussed into western countries, while our own politicians got rich on the wars they prosecuted in the illegals’ countries, and still do, in the name of “democracy”.
Never in my life time did I believe I would witness the day when I can identify as a man today, a women tomorrow, a dog the next, all in the name of ‘gender fluidity’. In doing so, the West has overturned millennia of traditional biological values. They achieved this in just one decade out of thousands of years of history. It’s unprecedented.
What gets my goat when people attempt to throw stones in glass houses, is they direct their venom and vitriol at those elsewhere. The devil is literally over there, never over here. We are witnessing the equivalent of Rome burning, while Romans are blaming the Gauls and Vandals for their economic and cultural policies. Russia has a chequered history, not all pleasant. Let’s take a good look at ourselves before we cast our stones at the Russians.
