A Much Better Explanation than “Mass Psychosis” — One That Encourages Freedom

Dear Healthcare Freedom Fighters and all who are defending freedom in America, we are addressing this to all of you. But we especially want to respond to those who feel that Mattias Desmet and Robert Malone have helped you by describing mass psychosis which seems to explain what you yourselves are witnessing every day with your own eyes among your colleagues and other healthcare providers, and even among friends and family. Some have asked us for a better explanation of the rampant demoralization and loss of critical or independent thinking you see around you, and here it is:

What you are being told is a mass psychosis are individual people terrorized and traumatized by a totalitarian state that has invaded medicine, seized control of it, bureaucratized it, and terrorized individual members so that they are afraid to whisper a word of dissent for fear of ostracism, loss of employment, and even legal actions. This has nothing to do with psychosis; it is the normal or natural reaction to totalitarian abuse.

This normal response to severe, personalized oppression with loss of autonomy stifles free will and real freedom, and suppresses the human spirit. It is further characterized by every imaginable emotional misery, depending on the individual’s vulnerabilities. It includes guilt, shame, anxiety, chronic irritability, apathy, depression, paranoia, demoralization, and denial. As most of us have experienced, these victims of oppression have very considerable anxiety and a negative reaction to anything that stimulates awareness of their dreadful circumstances and their feelings of hopelessness about ever going free.

The Abuses Typical of Totalitarianism

Like any victim of totalitarianism, these individuals (not “masses”) are responding to real threats — not imagined or psychotic ones. A new book, The Courage to Face COVID-19, by John Leake and Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH, a heroic figure to many of us, describes some of the intimidation experienced by healthcare providers under the current totalitarianism.

The threats come from the CDC, FDA, and even the FBI. They come from state medical boards. In California, the legislature has passed a bill empowering medical boards to act against anyone who disagrees with “accepted” or “standard” medical practice.

Doctors have had their licenses threatened and even revoked. Others are being harassed by their specialty boards. For daring to even hint at the truth, doctors have lost their professorships, clinical appointments, partnerships, and patients — and then been rejected by family and friends.

Like many people with mid-level or bureaucratic authority in a totalitarian system, doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers have blood on their hands, and suffer from guilt, shame, and anxiety about it. Many have genuine remorse but fear expressing it. They were forced, for the first time in medical history, to reject their sick patients until they were so sick that they needed emergency hospitalization — and this is still going on in our community and others in America.

The best medical sources warned them that they would literally kill their patients if they gave them life-saving hydroxychloroquine, and they did not have the courage to see through it. Even when told not to give them prednisone or other steroids for inflammation, they did not rebel. Instead, they watched their patients die. In medical schools, internships, and residencies around the world, we are bringing up a generation of doctors and healthcare providers too frightened to do anything but conform to whatever they are told.

They have been forced to take vaccines that are deadly or lose their jobs and then forced to inflict them on their patients, even children, or lose their jobs. In the hospitals, many must know that they are killing patients by depriving them of good treatments and afflicting them with deadly treatments like Remdesivir and ventilators.

Doctors have been so intimidated that they will not even prescribe extremely safe treatment regimens that prevent COVID-19 and its variants. They have been rendered helpless as doctors and healthcare providers.

In my entire life — in my training, in my practice, speaking at conferences, consulting, and writing, as well as going to doctors for myself, my children, my wife, or my mother-in-law — I have never seen such terrified reactions from healthcare providers at deviating from the prevailing medical narrative. Never before have I seen doctors even care about what the CDC has to say — until now, when they are terrorized by it!

The Damage Done by Applying the Diagnosis “Mass Psychosis”

When Robert Malone, MD, promotes a fake diagnosis of mass psychosis, of course, it can provide immediate relief to those of us dismayed and distressed by the fearful conformity we see. We think, at last, we have an explanation! But it is highly destructive because it is utterly unscientific and completely false, and because it distracts us, and the victims, by imagining the problem is originating, even in part, from the people themselves.

These unfortunate people are victims of extreme abuse and terrorization. When your colleague or friend responds weirdly to a little bit of truth — whether robotically, anxiously, or angrily — he or she is not psychotic. Perhaps for the first time in your life, you are witnessing the demoralizing effects of totalitarian terror on people.

The so-called mass psychotics are reacting as small and large groups always react under the crushing effects of brutality and totalitarianism, including victims of brainwashing in prisoner of war camps, in cults, and even in abusive families. You are witnessing people who have been terrorized and injured — and believe they have nowhere to turn. We do not give them a place to turn when telling them they have a mass psychosis, instead of a severe traumatic reaction to real events in their lives that they can oppose and overcome by joining other brave freedom fighters.

Comparable Demoralization Under Authoritarian and Totalitarian Circumstances

I have seen similar reactions in my practice from abused women and children. And on a larger scale, I witnessed this complete demoralization during my years of volunteering in 1950s state mental hospitals and in visiting East Berlin in the 1980s before the Berlin Wall came down. Applying the label “psychotic” to victims of totalitarianism is a crime against them and a gift to their oppressors and enemies.

Ultimately, and perhaps most dangerous of all, Malone, along with Desmet, is weaponizing psychiatry — giving the global predators and totalitarians a new tool of mass diagnoses with which to control the population and especially the leading dissenters, exactly as has been done in the U.S.S.R. and continues to be done by the Chinese Communists. As a physician, Malone, in particular, should have been more cautious about pinning a diagnosis of “psychosis” — the most extreme form of mental disorder — on any group or any individual.

Malone is distracting you and us from focusing on the elite, the power structure, and especially the broad array of global predator conspiracies we document in COVID-19 and the Global Predators and that Robert F. Kennedy documents in The Real Anthony Fauci. This vastly impedes the fight for freedom.

Malone In the Future

As Malone gains increasing legitimacy, power, and media attention through working with us in the health freedom movement and eventually, for example, becomes director of a federal health agency — he will bring his destructive ideas to the next conservative administration. He will be welcomed back by the Deep State from which he has come and to which he continues to actively work through NIH Activ, according to his November 2021 resume. And he will be applauded by the wealthy old-guard globalist Republican establishment, and the progressives, while he continues to impede the fight for individual and political liberty by denying the forces bent on destroying America and instead blaming totalitarianism on the people themselves through mass psychosis. He will be applauded by the broad array of Washington politicians for reinforcing their willing blindness to the real threats to America from the Chinese Communists and the Western globalists, as well as from the domestic progressives bent on overthrowing America.

And all of us who do nothing will have enabled Malone by allowing him to become a leader of the health care freedom and conservative freedom movements to which he has never belonged and from which he is trying to steal the thunder and the fight.

Thank you for your article. In my opinion, you are saying the same thing but calling it by another name. This is,whatever you may like to call it, perpetrated by a privileged group of individuals and “entities” on the greater majority of people. Fear is the controlling factor, waged with untruths and false information over a long period of time, in this case over two years. The Nazis used it,Stalin used it and every other dictator who wanted to rule the masses.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer recognised it in 1943, and wrote his Theory of Stupidity, ending up at the same place as Mass Formation Psychosis. An elite subjecting the rest to a slavery of fear. Almost like Stockholm Syndrome isn’t it?

I continue to think a dialog with Desmet or even Desmet and Malone would be healthier than continuing the current polemic.
The Breggin, Kennedy and McCullough books are in my top 10 Covid literature list, but Desmet would still be in the top 25 somewhere. He does make a contribution, even if he says some really strange and puzzling things.
I do however think I read him a bit differently than the Breggins. I find the book very exploratory and incoherent, with many internal contradictions, to the point that I characterized it in a review as an overly long high school essay, which explores the possibility of a topic, but the author never gets his hands around it. So the worry that this incoherent mess would ever exculpate anyone is preposterous, no lawyer would dare cite that book in defense of anyone. On one hand he discusses Hitler and Stalin as actors, but then on the other hand ignores Xi, Fauci, Bill Gates, WHO, WEF, and so on.

I agree that what Desmet says in Chapter 8 is slanted that way, but I still feel that his issue is more about the fact that he is exploring the co-dependent nature of the relationship, which does rest on a shared delusion, namely the belief in the common enemy, the so-called virus, which the leaders exploit in order to grab c.q. hang on to power. His mistake is to think that just because we cannot identify the bunch of cigar-smoking plotters of evil in a back room somewhere, planning their conspiracy that this means there is no element of conspiracy here. To the contrary, there is the clear evidence of a conspiracy of interests which manifests itself in the ludicrous conflicts of interest in people like Fauci, Bates, and so on.

Desmet is an interesting case, by the way, he calls himself a psychoanalyst, but he is not a strict Freudian, since in the final chapter of the book he tries to take issue with Freud’s notion (he does not mention him by name) of the primacy of the body. Once again he tackles a topic but is not able to come to any clarity about it, except to say that it is a clear departure from Freud. Freud was enough of a physician, even before he was a psychiatrist, to continue for all of his life to stubbornly hang on to the notion that ultimately everything psychological would be found to be a biochemical process in the brain. Freud did not know about the mind, so the whole confusion about mind and brain and the emergence of psychopharmaca goes back to those concepts in Freud, though he was careful always to point out that proving any of that out would not be trivial.

Funnily enough, while psychiatry threw out Freud completely and in many respects ended up throwing out the baby with the bathwater, as in the breaks with Adler and Jung, it also threw out his accomplishments and instead of building on them oftentimes had to reinvent the wheel.

My personal view on the matter is that the shared delusion is exactly the germ theory of disease. Even Pasteur shortly before his death is supposed to have admitted that Béchamp was right and that “Le microbe n’est rien, le terrain est tout,” (the germ is nothing, the terrain is everything). It would seem that this current would-be pandemic experience has brought about a revival of that debate, and that could be useful, if the whole of the Rockefeller medical reforms can be undone, and we can start over again from scratch and focus on health rather than making money from the treatment of symptoms, and milking the system as much as possible. It is time we go after the legal drug cartels that are being empowered by the AMA! We should be going after the legal drug cartels.

Malone offered a useful analogy, but did not manage to bring it home. Yes, it would be useless if we merely had a lynching party for the ringleaders and then went on to have more of the same. A better outcome might be a more subdued version of Nuremberg 2.0 where indeed appropriate justice could be meted out, for certainly Gates’ Indian charge of “murder by vaccine” is a good beginning, but if you wanted to be honest and thorough, you would have to bring 99% of doctors up on charges and at a minimum strip of their license and send them to a re-education camp where they can learn the Hippocratic oath and the Nuremberg code, and get remedial training in how this is to be applied in their practice. At the same time, agencies like the FDA and CDC would have to be demolished and started over again from scratch with a much more feasible and realistic mission and transparency to a level where Fauci-style conflicts of interest are impossible.

There is a lot of work to be done, and the greatest risk is that nothing would be learned. That is the real risk.

Dr. Breggin, I love this essay and its sentiments. Can you please explain why you won’t have a public discussion with these two? You can host them on AOL.

Your words would have more force if you do. You’ve dealt with hostile legal teams, why not have a discussion? I’m very sceptical of these guys (Desmet is an insufferable academic and Malone can come off like a touchy narcissist), but it looks less than brave for you to refuse.

“A Much Better Explanation than “Mass Psychosis” — One That Encourages Freedom”
No. It’s ANOTHER faulty explanation because it does not recognize and acknowledge objective reality. So it’s another branch of MORE misdirection (another branch of propaganda). Ever heard the world is crazy? It means “experts” and “authorities” of ALL stripes are crazy.

The faulty misleading FALSE explanation presented by the Breggins is this — the normal healthy public is just a victim of the schemes of the ruling abusive tyrants (“individual people terrorized and traumatized by a totalitarian state”).

Anyone can readily see the falsehoods the Breggins disseminate. As an example, they state about people reacting obediently to the Covid SCAM, “Like any victim of totalitarianism, these individuals (not “masses”) are responding to real threats — not imagined or psychotic ones.”
The fact that over 99% of people survive the Covid “infection” yet most people have been wearing mask diligently and got the toxic “vaccines” PROVES that “these individuals” are NOT responding to a REAL threat but a FANTASY and so they ARE delusional/psychotic. This very statement by the Breggins is utterly irrational, a form of lunacy in itself.

The only accurate explanation MUST include what the FULL truth is about humans, MUST include the true nature of the world we live in — CAREFULLY study the free treatise The 2 Married Pink Elephants In The Historical Room –The Holocaustal Covid-19 Coronavirus Madness: A Sociological Perspective & Historical Assessment Of The Covid “Phenomenon”

Without a PROPER understanding, and FULL acknowledgment, of the true WHOLE problem and reality, no real constructive LASTING change is possible for humanity.

And if anyone does NOT acknowledge and recognize the WHOLE truth THEY are helping to prevent this from happening.
