Mattias! It was an honor to speak alongside you at ICS5 and for the Senate. If you haven't seen it, and for the benefit of your audience if I may, here is the summary for my talk on the vaccines' effectiveness and safety being exaggerated in the clinical trials and observational studies: https://okaythennews.substack.com/p/science-summary-covid-19-vaccines. And my vaccine mandate case is progressing along nicely, thinking there'll be a lot more to report by the time ICS6 comes around! Maybe then we can finally solve free will vs determinism ;)

I find that I can edit my posts only if someone likes and/or comments on it and I get an email notification. Then I go to "view post" and I get an ellipsis that includes 'edit'. But on substack, itself, that option is not there. Perhaps my "settings" are lacking...or my browser. ???

I may be way off the mark here, but for a decade or 3 I have viewed neck ties as symbols of leashes put around the necks of men, as leashes put there by the elite, cabal, Illuminati, what have you, to keep the 'intellectualists' in control of the narrative dictated by the elite. Why? For 6 million years, some scientists think human DNA has been around, or 3 million years dating back to Lucy of Ethiopia, or even 200,000 years since homo sapiens sapiens have been around, we never wore neck ties. Neck ties are not worn by productive people turning the gears of productivity on the planet. Only by the 'Big shots' that the productive people can do without. Of course, some folks like Mattias Desmet, whose ideas I fully support, do it out of societal habit to 'fit in'. But if there was ever a time to not 'fit in', that time is now.

Dear Meta Zetty,

Thanks for sending the link. It was very revealing and mind boggling. I have heard him speak on various panels but had not heard the entirety of was he had to say. Dr. Risch, who spoke at the Senator Johnson forum last week, said that he believed the virus was released for the reasons Mr Martin stated. A crime against humanity. Who will pay?

Mattias Desmet, regarding totalitarianism and the Capitol.... What happened some years ago in the Capitol at the instigation of Trump (a fine example of leaders who surf along on the waves of what is alive among the followers, themselves getting blindsided and amplifying the waves), and what might now be a fine and justified illustration of part of your theories, was always a glaring omission in your book.

Perhaps in hindsight this is not so remarkable when we now also see that you allow yourself to be used by the same kind of people. Are you also surfing these waves now?

It's time to stop talking and start perp-walking these murderers into a courtroom to face a tribunal or a jury.

It is not money, but the need to publish papers, and to demonstrate things experimentally which is very hard to do at times, which largely drives replication crisis in psychology in my opinion.

My psychiatric training in the 1970s emphasized the power of the group process, mob, loss of individualism in group. Now suddenly relevant.

Prof. Desmet, can I please ask with the greatest respect:

Is it possible that your theory around "mass formation" has gained so much publicity in recent years at least partially due to the fact that it serves a certain objective you may not have considered and more specifically: potentially serving as a 'legal out' of sort for politicians and 'public health' officials when the special tribunals and genocide/crimes against humanity charges are laid?

There have been plenty of dissenting voices from the very beginning but they were aggressively silenced...including by one of the people sitting right next to you at that table.

This is definitely not meant as a personal attack against you by any means. It's simply voicing a concern which I think is valid.

What an incredibly insightful & appropriate quote from Hannah Arendt to end another brilliant speech at our Senate. Bravo!

The delusional, if not evil, concept of a utopian paradise is often portrayed as a perfect society where everyone is blissfully content, every need is effortlessly met, and one is free from suffering. This hellish paradise of absolute perfection, where individuality fades into oblivion, produces human stagnation that smothers the soul in untold suffering, all under the oppressive control of a dear leader. The new breed of technocrats. In this suspiciously hellish paradise, there's an absence of choice, accountability, and the potential for growth, despite the seemingly perfect ideal AI would produce in stunning technicolor.

Perfect hell is a chilling reflection of the very thing we fear most: a world devoid of choice, risk, and the raw beauty of imperfection. In this unsettling parallel, paradise and hell converge, reminding those whose minds are still our own that true authenticity and fulfillment lie not in perfection, but in the messy, unpredictable journey of life.

I suggested to Professor Desmet a short while ago that maybe their should be a competition, then an award given for the best 'Mass Formationist' of all times. Along with this suggesting I offered a video link: https://www.bitchute.com/video/PWPVDzxplie0/ for his ajudication. Mattias hasn't gotten back to me yet, but if anyone here watches this 4:39 minute video, be sure to pipe up.

I have been following the works of Professor Desmet from his early stages of his presentation on the phenomenon of, “Mass Formation Psychosis.” Best to consider this phenomenon in light of a historical real life experience. How many of you have asked yourself, “ how was it possible for Hitler to rise to power and eventually convince so many to partake in some of the most barbarous acts against mankind ? Draw a parallel between the periods of 1936 to 1939 in Hitler’s Germany and now, from 2020 to 2023 and Covid, Tony Fauci and Francis Collins…. Same modus operandi…

Ron Johnson was the one who had the honor of citizens speaking the truth to him.

Politicians are not honorable people and thus is is not an honor to speak to them. Nor a privilege. They're public servants, not the other way around.
