Maybe the battle is between those who unfairly benefit from credentialism, and those who don't.

Liberals defend their credentials which allow them to exploit those who don't have the same credentials. Credentials create monopolies, the ability to set high prices regardless of quality of service. It is a way to defeat free market competition.

The funding of universities depends entirely on the demand for their degrees, which they control. Their biggest horror would be a system where anyone could take tests to prove competence in a subject without paying for the years of classes and subjecting themselves to obedience to professors.

Thatcher and Trump refused to give the automatic respect many academics feel is their due. They gave the impression that they could see right through us, an uncomfortable feeling.
- Thomas Frank

Most of academia is less about learning than about paying for a paper proof of status and conformity. Non-conformists are expelled from schools, or failed out. Most teachers do not like their authority to be questioned. Bosses like the academic proof of conformity when they hire. The most "educated" are the most obedient.

Trump was a threat to their credentials and therefore a threat to their incomes and status.

The academic elite need a reason to hate those threatening themselves, therefore they use imaginary "racism", to which there is no defense. The accusation is the conviction.

Then they don't need to worry about the real class problem, which is independent of race. They would be uncomfortable looking at class, because they'd have to look at themselves and their unearned class privileges.

So their faith in the injection is faith in the "expert class" of which they are members, and they demand that the hoi polloi submit to it as an expression of the elite's power and prestige.

the problem with herd animals is that you do not even need to make sense to lead them. you do not need reason or righteousness, you just have to offer them a sense of belonging, a sense of status, and a sense of safety.

do this, and the entire structure is payload agnostic. they really do not care if you change your narrative and keep altering the facts and ideology. this becomes easy.

This isn’t going to be pretty, folks. The downfall of a death cult rarely is. There is going to be wailing and gnashing of teeth, incoherent fanatical jabbering, mass deleting of embarrassing tweets.

There’s going to be a veritable tsunami of desperate rationalizing, strenuous denying, shameless blame-shifting, and other forms of ass-covering, as suddenly former Covidian Cult members make a last-minute break for the jungle before the fully-vaxxed-and-boosted “Safe and Effective Kool-Aid” servers get to them.

Yes, that’s right, as I’m sure you’ve noticed, the official Covid narrative is finally falling apart, or is being hastily disassembled, or historically revised, right before our eyes.

The “experts” and “authorities” are finally acknowledging that the “Covid deaths” and “hospitalization” statistics are artificially inflated and totally unreliable (which they have been from the very beginning), and they are admitting that their miracle “vaccines” don’t work (unless you change the definition of the word “vaccine”), and that they have killed a few people, or maybe more than a few people, and that lockdowns were probably “a serious mistake.”

I am not going to bother with further citations. You can surf the Internet as well as I can.

The point is, the “Apocalyptic Pandemic” PSYOP has reached its expiration date. After almost two years of mass hysteria over a virus that causes mild-to-moderate common-cold or flu-like symptoms (or absolutely no symptoms whatsoever) in about 95% of the infected and the overall infection fatality rate of which is approximately 0.1% to 0.5%, people’s nerves are shot.

We are all exhausted. Even the Covidian cultists are exhausted. And they are starting to abandon the cult en masse.

It was always mostly just a matter of time. As Klaus Schwab said:

the pandemic represent[ed] a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world.”


It isn’t over, but that window is closing, and our world has not been “reimagined” and “reset,” not irrevocably, not just yet. Clearly, GloboCap underestimated the potential resistance to the Great Reset, and the time it would take to crush that resistance.

And now the clock is running down, and the resistance isn’t crushed … on the contrary, it is growing. And there is nothing GloboCap can do to stop it, other than go openly totalitarian, which it can’t, as that would be suicidal. As I noted in a recent column:

New Normal totalitarianism — and any global-capitalist form of totalitarianism — cannot display itself as totalitarianism, or even authoritarianism. It cannot acknowledge its political nature. In order to exist, it must not exist. Above all, it must erase its violence (the violence that all politics ultimately comes down to) and appear to us as an essentially beneficent response to a legitimate ‘global health crisis’ …”

The simulated “global health crisis” is, for all intents and purposes, over. Which means that GloboCap has screwed the pooch.

The thing is, if you intend to keep the masses whipped up into a mindless frenzy of anus-puckering paranoia over an “apocalyptic global pandemic,” at some point, you have to produce an actual apocalyptic global pandemic.

Faked statistics and propaganda will carry you for a while, but eventually people are going to need to experience something at least resembling an actual devastating worldwide plague, in reality, not just on their phones and TVs.

Also, GloboCap seriously overplayed their hand with the miracle “vaccines.” Covidian cultists really believed that the “vaccines” would protect them from infection. Epidemiology experts like Rachel Maddow assured them that they would:

Now we know that the vaccines work well enough that the virus stops with every vaccinated person,” Maddow said on her show the evening of March 29, 2021. “A vaccinated person gets exposed to the virus, the virus does not infect them, the virus cannot then use that person to go anywhere else,” she added with a shrug. “It cannot use a vaccinated person as a host to go get more people.”

And now they are all sick with…well, a cold, basically, or are “asymptomatically infected,” or whatever. And they are looking at a future in which they will have to submit to “vaccinations” and “boosters” every three or four months to keep their “compliance certificates” current, in order to be allowed to hold a job, attend a school, or eat at a restaurant, which, OK, hardcore cultists are fine with, but there are millions of people who have been complying, not because they are delusional fanatics who would wrap their children’s heads in cellophane if Anthony Fauci ordered them to, but purely out of “solidarity,” or convenience, or herd instinct, or…you know, cowardice.

Many of these people (i.e., the non-fanatics) are starting to suspect that maybe what we “tin-foil-hat-wearing, Covid-denying, anti-vax, conspiracy-theorist extremists” have been telling them for the past 22 months might not be as crazy as they originally thought.

They are back-pedaling, rationalizing, revising history, and just making up all kinds of self-serving bullshit, like how we are now in “a post-vaccine world,” or how “the Science has changed,” or how “Omicron is different,” in order to avoid being forced to admit that they’re the victims of a GloboCap PSYOP and the worldwide mass hysteria it has generated.

Which…fine, let them tell themselves whatever they need to for the sake of their vanity, or their reputations as investigative journalists, celebrity leftists, or Twitter revolutionaries.

If you think these “recovering” Covidian Cult members are ever going to publicly acknowledge all the damage they have done to society, and to people and their families, since March 2020, much less apologize for all the abuse they heaped onto those of us who have been reporting the facts … well, they’re not.

They are going to spin, equivocate, rationalize, and lie through their teeth, whatever it takes to convince themselves and their audience that, when the shit hit the fan, they didn’t click heels and go full “Good German.”

Give these people hell if you need to. I feel just as angry and betrayed as you do. But let’s not lose sight of the ultimate stakes here. Yes, the official narrative is finally crumbling, and the Covidian Cult is starting to implode, but that does not mean that this fight is over.

GloboCap and their puppets in government are not going to cancel the whole “New Normal” program, pretend the last two years never happened, and gracefully retreat to their lavish bunkers in New Zealand and their mega-yachts.

Totalitarian movements and death cults do not typically go down gracefully. They usually go down in a gratuitous orgy of wanton, nihilistic violence as the cult or movement desperately attempts to maintain its hold over its wavering members and defend itself from encroaching reality. And that is where we are at the moment…or where we are going to be very shortly.

Cities, states, and countries around the world are pushing ahead with implementing the New Normal biosecurity society, despite the fact that there is no longer any plausible justification for it. Austria is going ahead with forced “vaccination.” Germany ispreparing to do the same. France is rolling out a national segregation system to punish “the Unvaccinated.” Greece is fining “unvaccinated” pensioners. Australia is operating “quarantine camps.”

Scotland. Italy. Spain. The Netherlands. New York City. San Francisco. Toronto. The list goes on, and on, and on.

I don’t know what is going to happen. I’m not an oracle. I’m just a satirist. But we are getting dangerously close to the point where GloboCap will need to go full-blown fascist if they want to finish what they started.
If that happens, things are going to get very ugly.

I know, things are already ugly, but I’m talking a whole different kind of ugly. Think Jonestown, or Hitler’s final days in the bunker, or the last few months of the Manson Family.

That is what happens to totalitarian movements and death cults once the spell is broken and their official narratives fall apart. When they go down, they try to take the whole world with them.

I don’t know about you, but I’m hoping we can avoid that. From what I have heard and read, it isn’t much fun.

In other words, for now, the flailing reprogamming effort is failing. The Biden Administration wants its rank-and-file followers in public schools, colleges, and hospitals to calm down. Instead they remain as paranoid as ever. It is entirely possible that this will continue for all of 2022, or even longer. Covid and its variants aren’t going away. To the extent they were ever effective at all, vaccines appear to lose their potency with every new booster campaign. The virus remains as mild for most people as ever, but constant testing means that even the healthiest progressives have worked themselves into a permanent state of fear and paranoia.

This has fascinating ramifications for leftism itself. Through Mass Formation Psychosis, the ruling class left seems to have finally memed its true believers into a pattern that it can’t talk them out of. For two years, they sowed panic by promoting the cult of the mask, the cult of the lockdown, and the cult of the vaccine. Now, they can’t suppress the cults they have created. Similarly, they ignited a “racial reckoning” in 2020 and are now powerless to stop the frenzy of murder and crime that this “reckoning” unleashed in every major city.

The Globalist American Empire is losing control of its own followers. And if it can’t control them, how much longer can it hope to control you?

Reading reactions to Bari Weiss’s appearance on Bill Maher, I was struck by the incongruity of the audience’s behavior.

The hard-left audience cheered every attack on the CDC’s recommended guidelines regarding Covid. Second, they cheered Maher’s reality check of the non-efficacy of vaccines and his vow to never get a booster. Third, they applauded his “stating the obvious” report that almost everyone who died of Covid was obese. Finally, they liked his indictment of the CDC and Anthony Fauci for failing to inform Americans that Covid was a pandemic of the obese. “They have blood on their hands,” Maher said of the medical industry.

Yet, a few weeks ago, Maher’s audience was applauding draconian Covid crackdowns. What happened?

Nothing. The audience didn’t change its mind. In their hearts, they never were Branch Covidians. But they are trained, as we all are, to pretend we agree with the prevailing narrative at all times. We pretend we’re concerned about global warming. We pretend we’re concerned about AIDS. We pretend we’re concerned about system racism. We pretend we’re concerned about transphobia. Whatever the awareness ribbon of the day might be, we wear it. We keep our thoughts to ourselves and signal our agreement with the cause of the moment.

For the past two years, the awareness ribbon gave way to the Covid mask, the symbol that “we’re all in this together,” and the visual expression of “be safe.” Like the AIDS ribbon, the Covid mask did nothing to save even a single human life, but it protected the wearer from public scorn. The mask symbolized conformity with the prevailing psychosis, not “science.”

It is no longer acceptable for individuals or businesses to say they are just “following orders.” The orders are irrational and unscientific, and masks (and vaccine mandates) are much more about psychology and in-group membership than about epidemiology. For those caught up in the Covid fervor, it is a moral mission to discriminate against those not showing sufficient zeal to the Covid cause. They relish identifying the unclean enemy, demanding they display obeisance, and humiliating and rejecting those who refuse. On its surface it’s about epidemiology, but the real factors are human psychology and social group dynamics.

https://bherr.substack.com/p/the-shocking-phalanx-comparison?source=patrick.net


Pfizer, Moderna, etc., ARE our version of Phalanx. They have been rushed to market because there was a need. The need was SOMETHING to make people feel safe, to feel protected. They needed a pacifier, a security blanket, and big pharma was more than happy to provide something that has given fragile minds and failing hearts a soma, a placebo, a lullaby that they can sing to themselves to try to go to sleep at night.

The fact is, all these vaccines have done is delay the larger terror and sow a division into the fabric of humanity, the likes of which we’ve never seen. This fairy tale of a vaccine has indeed become much more of a nightmare, and more and more people are waking up out of that terror each day.

Right now, your friends and family believe in a modern day, actual version of Phalanx. I’ve literally heard people talk about it being like a suit of armor, a bio-shield to repel the horrors of the Rona. I believe that as the vaccines continue to fail spectacularly and epically, the hate and terror from those who have been duped, for those who truly believed they were getting a suit of armor, will only increase and mutate into something dangerous.

We are already seeing waves of it. Be prepared for a tsunami as more and more data comes out, and stand firm in your convictions. If you can, love those who will wake up and see their errors. Help them to heal and do your best to assuage their fears. You know how benign Coronavirus has now become, and you also know that early treatment, a robust immune system, and common sense are much more of a phalanx against this boogeyman than anything these vaccines can provide.

The terror is real, the failure is almost complete, and the time is now for us to change the narrative.

One of the key things that Desmit says is that people who are in mass formation are there because of something in their old lives. Free floating anxiety, the sense of impending doom, feeling lost and purposeless…this is the fertile ground that those seeking control sow into.

This explains why these people, people we know and love, have doubled and tripled down on a narrative, even when that narrative is proven false. It doesn’t matter if “the leader” lies or how much evidence is presented to them, because here’s the stark truth…

THEY NEVER WANT TO GO BACK TO THEIR OLD LIVES.

Mass formation represents a new life. It gives them purpose, definition, community. It represents, in some convoluted way, freedom. But it’s not the freedom and you and I probably agree on. It’s a false offering of security, disguised as freedom. And sadly it seems, many people would rather choose the perception of security over true freedom. ...

But I feel what our next phase needs to be is to clearly illuminate the Endgame. We need to start pointing all of the data, all of the dots, in one coordinated effort, towards the realities of what the Endgame actually means.

We need the mass formed to start to viscerally FEEL what the logical ends to a digital passport are.

We need them to look at their children and understand that horror when their child is ripped from their arms because they’ve decided a 7th booster in 2 years is too much for a little body to properly process.

We need to paint the stark reality of what a global, digital, transhumanistic world actually looks like, over and over, through as many mediums as possible.

the dangers of propaganda to propogandists
stare too long into the big lie and the big lie stares back into you

we have all seen the big lie in action and the effects of its relentless repetition and of the ruthless suppression of any narrative but THE NARRATIVE.™

we have seen what it does to those at which it is aimed.

but what of the liars themselves, for if the endless hearing of a tale can so ingrain it into the perceived reality of the listener, what must its interminable narration do to the storyteller?

telling is more potent persuasion than hearing. performative repetition will flat out brain wipe you.

you depart from consensus reality and move to something entirely hallucinatory. it’s how you wind up sounding like melissa above and literally lose the plot to the point where you’re expecting plaudits and attagirls for telling parents that they should stop feeling possessive of their children and surrender them to the collective.

every time you say it, you believe a little more.

this is not a toxin you can handle without getting contaminated yourself; it’s intellectual polonium.




people who have ideas can change their mind. people who are their ideas face a crisis of personal identity when their ideas are challenged and experience what feels like personal destruction when their ideas fail. so they fight like cornered animals to keep such ideas alive and they think they are the good guys when they do it even and especially after it has turned them into something altogether monstrous.

this “collectivism” and the totalitarian-fascist structures it uses to impose itself is not just “another way of looking at things.” it’s a form of mental illness rooted in a narcissistic spiral of self delusion. always has been. and it will always manifest this way.

it has led, from hitler to mao and stalin to the khmer rouge, to the greatest mass murders in the history of humanity and all were done “for the greater good.”

castro and chavez alike thought they were helping. and at the time, many believed them.

and it can happen again. it can happen here. everybody wants to think it can’t, but jeez guys, take a look around…

the whole notion of forcing submission for the collective weal is rooted in dangerous delusion and this is why only deeply dangerous people do it.
it’s based on a simple and pervasive lie: we know what’s good for you and we are going to give it to you, by force if need be, for your own good.

but everything about this is wrong.

there is no common good in any but a purely abstract sense.

it cannot be measured or ascertained.

it cannot be known. it is not knowable.

it’s a pure fiction rooted in aggregation fallacy.

it’s also an ego trap.

the very idea that there is such a thing as “the common good” and that you happen to know what it is represents such a seductive self-delusion that those fixated upon and transfixed by it become prone to manifold additional hallucinations.

it selects for and feeds a loop of projection, narcissism, and violence. and it ALWAYS gets out of control. ...

it’s not even about the idea itself anymore. it’s about a wounded narcissistic leviathan curled up around its own pain at the destruction of its identify lashing out at anything that gets close enough.

that is not a pleasant place for anyone.

and this is where we are.

once you see the pattern, you’ll see it all around you.

people who may even have started off meaning well have told so many lies of such surpassing wrongness that they have become their lies, woven them into the weft and warp of their identities, and used them as the basis for the aggregation of power.

and as the truth comes out, they feel attacked to their very core and devolve into some sort of self-righteousness singularity.

they cannot be reasoned with.

they are past reason.

there is no data that will convince them, no cunning new way to look at it that will help them see it at last.

they are on complete tilt and every new “fact” that proves them wrong makes them more fervent and aggressive in their faith because feeling it slip away feels like ego annihilation.

these people are sick, and it makes them dangerous. ...

this is not authority.

this is not the common good.

this is derangement and jumped up officiousness putting on airs of serving the imagined collective welfare as a pretext to rule you.

and its 15 minutes are done.

The really smart people realized school was bullshit when they were 16 or younger. The smart but gullible people never realized it was bullshit until they had nothing else to learn, THEN they realized it was bullshit. You think Fauci is stupid? He's not, but he's a shyster for certain - HE realizes this is all bullshit.
