Mass Psychosis – How an Entire Population Becomes Mentally Ill

In this video, we are going to explore the most dangerous of all psychic epidemics, the mass psychosis. A mass psychosis is an epidemic of madness and it occurs when a large portion of a society loses touch with reality and descends into delusions. Such a phenomenon is not a thing of fiction. Two examples of mass psychoses are the American and European witch hunts 16th and 17th centuries and the rise of totalitarianism in the 20th century.

This video will aim to answer questions surrounding mass psychosis: What is it? How does is start? Has it happened before? Are we experiencing one right now? And if so, how can the stages of a mass psychosis be reversed?

Unfortunately, most of the people who need to see this won’t watch it.
For those of you that replied “Share it”, I have and many appreciated it while others won’t even watch it. Hence the reasoning for my original comment.
But it’s out there just in case they ever get curious. I never expected so many replies and the direct ones I’ll probably never see to return the favor.

The underlying strategy is instilling fear. As Pavlov discovered with his dogs, and long since confirmed as universal among higher animals, fear causes the bypassing of the higher brain functions – people literally cannot think straight when under stress/duress. Incidentally, Pavlov’s experiments extended to some that were very unpleasant for his unfortunate subjects – he confined intelligent, well-trained dogs in a tank which was flooded to the point that the dogs almost drowned and found that the mortal terror they experienced had caused all the commands and ‘tricks’ they had learned to be practically wiped from their brains. He was foreshadowing ‘trauma based mind control’.

This explains so much for how the world is right now. Wonderfully done

Totalitarian methods of control can be summed up in one, short line:
Create the sickness, sell the cure.

It’s sad when you can clearly see it happening all around you and can’t do anything about it. Especially when you see people you know and love giving into it.
