“The language of the totalist environment is characterized by
the thought-terminating cliché.

..the delusional nature of these official narratives is glaringly obvious
to most rational people.
What many fail to understand is that

to those [ de kult-rammede ] who fall prey to them
(whether individual cult members or entire totalitarian societies)
such narratives do not register as psychotic.

On the contrary, they feel entirely normal. Everything in their social
“reality” reifies and reaffirms the narrative,
and anything that challenges or contradicts it is perceived as an
existential threat.

These narratives are invariably paranoid, portraying the cult as
threatened or persecuted by an evil enemy or antagonistic force

from which only unquestioning conformity to the cult’s ideology can save
its members.

It makes little difference whether this antagonist is mainstream
culture, body thetans, counter-revolutionaries, Jews, or a virus.

The point is not the identity of the enemy. The point is
the atmosphere of paranoia and hysteria that the official narrative
generates, which keeps the cult members (or the society) compliant.

In addition to being paranoid, these narratives are often internally
inconsistent, illogical, and … well, just ridiculous.

This does not weaken them, as one might suspect.
Actually, it increases their power, as it forces their adherents to
attempt to reconcile their inconsistencies and irrationality,

and in many cases utter absurdity, in order to remain in good standing
with the cult.
Such reconciliation is of course impossible, and causes the cult members
minds to short circuit and abandon any semblance of critical thinking,

which is precisely what the cult leader wants.

Moreover, cult leaders will often radically change these narratives for no
apparent reason, forcing their cult members to abruptly forswear
(and often even denounce as “heresy”) the beliefs they had previously
been forced to profess,
and behave as if they had never believed them,
which causes their minds to further short circuit, until they eventually
give up even trying to think,
and just mindlessly parrot whatever nonsensical gibberish the cult
leader fills their heads with.

Also, the cult leader’s nonsensical gibberish is not as nonsensical as
it may seem at first. Most of us, upon encountering such gibberish,
assume that the cult leader is trying to communicate,

and that something is very wrong with his brain. But the cult leader’s
intention is not to communicate.
His intention is to disorient and control the listener’s mind.

Listen to Charlie Manson “rapping.” Not just to what he says, but
how he says it.
Note how he sprinkles bits of truth into his stream of free-
associated nonsense,
and his repetitive use of thought-terminating clichés,
described by Robert J. Lifton as follows:

“The language of the totalist environment is characterized by the thought-terminating cliché.
The most far-reaching and complex of human problems are compressed into brief, highly selective, definitive-sounding phrases, easily memorized
and easily expressed.
They become the start and finish of any ideological analysis.”

[ - Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism, 1961 ]

If all this sounds familiar, good.

Because the same techniques that most cult leaders use to control the minds
of the members of their cults
are used by totalitarian systems to control the minds of entire
societies...

Milieu Control, Loaded Language, Sacred Science, Demand for Purity,
and other standard mind-control techniques.

It can happen to pretty much any society, just as anyone can fall
prey to a cult, given the right set of circumstances.

It is happening to most of our societies now.
An official narrative is being implemented.
A totalitarian official narrative. A totally psychotic official
narrative, no less delusional than that of the Nazis, or the
Manson family, or any other cult.

Most people cannot see that it is happening, for the simple reason
that it is happening to them.

They are literally unable to recognize it.
The human mind is extremely resilient and inventive when it is
pushed past its limits.
Ask anyone who has struggled with psychosis or has taken too much LSD.

We do not recognize when we are going insane. When reality falls apart
completely, the mind creates a delusional narrative, which appears
just as “real” as our normal reality,
because even a delusion is better than the stark raving terror
of utter chaos.

This is what totalitarians and cult leaders count on, and exploit
to implant their narratives in our minds,

and why actual initiation rituals (as opposed to purely
symbolic rituals)
begin by attacking the subject’s mind with terror, pain, physical
exhaustion, psychedelic drugs, or some other means of
obliterating the subject’s perception of reality.

Once that is achieved, and the subject’s mind starts desperately
trying to construct a new narrative to make sense out of
the cognitive chaos and psychological trauma it is undergoing,

it is relatively easy to “guide” that process, and to implant
whatever narrative you want, assuming you have done your homework.

And this is why so many people — people who are able to easily
recognize totalitarianism in cults and foreign countries —
cannot perceive the totalitarianism that is taking shape now,

right in front of their faces (or, rather, right inside their minds).

Nor can they perceive the delusional nature of the official
“Covid-19” narrative, no more than those in Nazi Germany were able
to perceive how completely delusional their official “master race”
narrative was.
These people are neither ignorant nor stupid. They have been
successfully initiated into a cult,
which is essentially what totalitarianism is, albeit on a
societal scale.

Their initiation into the Covidian Cult began in January, when the
medical authorities and corporate media turned on The Fear
with projections of hundreds of millions of deaths and fake photos
of people dropping dead in the streets.
The psychological conditioning has continued for months.
The global masses have been subjected to a constant stream of
propaganda, manufactured hysteria, wild speculation,
conflicting directives, exaggerations, lies, and tawdry
theatrical effects. Lockdowns. Emergency field hospitals
and morgues. The singing-dancing NHS staff. Death trucks.
Overflowing ICUs. Dead Covid babies. Manipulated statistics.
Goon squads. Masks. And all the rest of it.

Eight months later, here we are. The Head of the Health Emergencies
Program at the WHO has basically confirmed an IFR of 0.14%,
approximately the same as the seasonal flu.
( . . )

The “science” argument is officially over. An increasing number of
doctors and experts are breaking ranks and explaining how the
current mass hysteria over so-called “cases” (which now includes
perfectly healthy people) is essentially meaningless propaganda, (..)

Total Reported COVID-19 Coronavirus Deaths Oct. 1,

the message can be made out: total deaths from all causes in 2020
have been the same as those for 2017, 2018 and 2019
to within less than 1%.

And then there is the existence of Sweden, and other countries which
are not playing ball with the official Covid-19 narrative,
which makes a mockery of the ongoing hysteria.

I’m not going to go on debunking the narrative. The point is, the facts
are all available.
Not from “conspiracy theorist” websites. From mainstream outlets
and medical experts.
From the Center for Fucking Disease Control.

Which does not matter in the least, not to the members of
the Covidian Cult. Facts do not matter to totalitarians
and cult members. What matters is loyalty to the cult or the party.

Which means we have a serious problem, those of us to whom facts
still matter, ...

While it is crucial to continue reporting the facts and sharing them
as widely as possible
(which is becoming increasingly difficult due to the censorship
to alternative and social media),
it is important to accept what we are up against.

What we are up against is not a misunderstanding or a rational
argument over scientific facts.
It is a fanatical ideological movement.
A global totalitarian movement … the first of its kind
in human history.

It isn’t national totalitarianism, because we’re living in a global
capitalist empire, which isn’t ruled by nation-states,
but rather, by supranational entities and the global capitalist
system itself.

And thus, the cult/culture paradigm has been inverted. Instead of
the cult existing as an island within the dominant culture,
the cult has become the dominant culture, and those of us who
have not joined the cult have become the isolated islands within it.
