Mass Formation: Deployed on You After

Over 200 Years of Study

Today in “factchecking the factcheckers”, junior academics cited by

Forbes, Associated Press, Reuters and The Independent have just not
done their homework concerning the work of Professor Dr. Mattias
Desmet of the University of Ghent in Belgum. All I can say about this is
that I hope that their naive, ignorant, grandstanding statements to the
press are brought up during their future Academic Tenure and
Advancement reviews.

But there has been an amazingly coordinated effort to shoot the

messenger and actively character assassinate (or “defenstrate”) me as
a surrogate while avoiding any reference to the highly credentialed
academic Professor Dr. Mattias Desmet who actually developed the
theory and has documented the extensive evidence in an upcoming
academic book. So, what can we learn from this in the short term?

Clearly, Google was not the only corporation triggered by Joe Rogan
podcast # 1757 which previously reached #1 podcast ranking
worldwide, has been referred to as “the most important interview of
our time” and has been seen by over 50 million viewers. But what
absolutely has been generated by all of the coopted reactionary press
and Big Tech titans metaphorically tripping over their shoelaces is a
massive trove of real time data validating the brilliant Mass Formation
intellectual synthesis developed by Professor Desmet over the last two
years.

In this coordinated propaganda and censorship response, we can

clearly see the hands of the BBC-led Trusted News Initiative, the
Scientific Technological Elite, the transnational investment funds and
their World Economic Forum allies which control Pfizer and most of
Big Pharma, Legacy Media and Big Tech (and many national
governments) acting in real time to suppress a growing awareness by
the general public of having been actively manipulated using crowd
psychology tools to generate clinically significant fear and anxiety of
COVID-19 (otherwise known as “Coronaphobia”) to advance their
agendas on a global scale. Multiple governments have now admitted to
actively using fear and 'Mass Formation'-related theories as a tool for
totalitarian population control during this outbreak. This is occurring
at the same time that Omicron is destroying the legitimacy of
government and WHO propaganda concerning the “Safe and Effective”
mRNA vaccines and associated mandates.

But what confuses me is why the western press is all following the
same narrative as Forbes, which is now owned by a Chinese media
holding company. Is this all really just about China wanting to advance
a New World Order agenda, and working in a coordinated fashion
together with captured western legacy media and their transnational
fund overlords?

Break out the popcorn, because we have an “approved narrative”

dumpster fire in progress.

“I don’t see how people could claim that ‘mass-

formation’ doesn’t exist or has never been
scientifically studied. The term just refers – it
goes without saying – to the process of the
formation of a mass or a crowd. Mass formation
has been studied for over 200 years, beginning
with such scholars as Gustave Le Bon, Freud,
McDougal, Canetti, Hannah Arendt, etc. In the
twentieth century, psychologists such as Ash
and Sheriff have studied mass formation
experimentally.

Some of these scholars did explicitly use the

term mass-formation, others didn’t. But what
 which individual’s mental states is influenced
by their tendency to conform to group thinking.
I myself have over 100 publications on Web of
Science, a large part of them focusing on how
individuals’ personality structures is influenced
by their relationships with other people. Once
you understand the basic mechanisms through
which individual’s personality is in the grip of
the opinion of other people, you understand the
elementary mechanisms at work in this
enormous psychological process that is
happening when a mass emerges in a society.

In my upcoming book: The psychology of

totalitarianism, I analyze and describe the way
in which the psychological process of mass
formation got stronger and stronger throughout
the last two centuries and eventually leads to
totalitarian thinking and in the end also to the
emergence of totalitarian states.”

Abridged from M. Desmet: “The Psychology of Totalitarianism”

‘Mass Formation – brief summary 

• Totalitarianism is characterized by processes

of large scale mass formation. 

• Four conditions are needed for large scale

mass formation:
 1.       A large amount of people must feel alone
and isolated. 

2.       Their lives must feel pointless and

meaningless. 

3.       There must be high levels of free floating

anxiety, and 

4.       There must be high levels of free-floating

frustration and aggression.

*If under these conditions a narrative is

distributed through the mass media which
indicates an object of anxiety and provides a
strategy to deal with this object of anxiety, then
all the free floating anxiety might be associated
to this object and a huge willingness might be
observed to participate in the strategy to deal
with the object of anxiety.

• At the same time, the field of attention gets

narrower until it only contains the part of reality
that is indicated by the narrative and people lose
their capacity to take into account the other
aspects of reality (what makes them often
utterly irrational).

Development of mathematical models to describe this process are

currently in progress in a collaboration between Professor Desmet, Dr.
rer. nat. habil. Norbert Schwarzer and Dr. Troy Vom Braucke. This work
is building upon prior academic modeling work including the following
volumes:’

A State of Fear by Laura Dodsworth

A State of Fear: how the UK government
weaponised fear during the Covid-19 pandemic

This is a book about fear. Fear of a virus. Fear of

death. Fear of losing our jobs, our democracy,
our human connections, our health and our
minds. It’s also about how the government
weaponised our fear against us – supposedly in
our best interests – until we were the most
frightened country in Europe.

Fear is the most powerful emotion. Hardwired

into humans, fear is part of our evolutionary
success. But that also makes it one of the most
powerful tools in the behavioural psychology
toolbox and it has been used to manipulate and
control people during the pandemic.

In one of the most extraordinary documents

ever revealed to the British public, the
behavioural scientists advising the government
said that a substantial number of people did not
feel threatened enough by Covid-19 to follow
the rules. They advised the government to
increase our sense of ‘personal threat’, to scare
us into submission.

But why did the government deliberately

frighten us, and how has this affected us as
individuals and as a country? Who is involved in
the decision-making that affects our lives? How
are behavioural science and nudge theory being
used to subliminally manipulate us? How does
the media leverage fear? What are the real risks
to our wellbeing?
Ahead of any official inquiry into the handling of the Covid-19
pandemic, Laura Dodsworth explores all these questions and more, in a
nuanced and thought-provoking discussion of an extraordinary year in
British life and politics. With stories from members of the general
public who were impacted by fear, anxiety and isolation, and revealing
interviews with psychologists, politicians, scientists, lawyers,
Whitehall advisers and journalists, A State of Fear calls for a more
hopeful, transparent and effective democracy.

The Rape of the Mind: The Psychology of Thought Control, Menticide,

and Brainwashing by Joost A.M. Meerloo. 1961

In 1933 Meerloo began to study the methods by

which systematic mental pressure brings people
to abject submission, and by which totalitarians
imprint their subjective "truth" on their
victims' minds. In "The Rape of the Mind" he
goes far beyond the direct military implications
of mental torture to describing how our own
culture unobtrusively shows symptoms of
pressurizing people's minds. He presents a
systematic analysis of the methods of
brainwashing and mental torture and coercion,
and shows how totalitarian strategy, with its use
of mass psychology, leads to systematized "rape
of the mind." He describes the new age of cold
war with its mental terror, verbocracy, and
semantic fog, the use of fear as a tool of mass
submission and the problem of treason and
loyalty, so loaded with dangerous confusion.
The "Rape of the Mind" is written for the
interested layman, not only for experts and
scientists.
To end, the book written in 1841 entitled: “Extraordinary Popular
Delusions and The Madness of Crowds” is one of the first works on this
subject.

by Charles MacKay (Author)

…originally published in 1841. This includes the

preface, which is often omitted from abridged
versions.In this book, Charles Mackay discusses
the irrational behaviors of crowds in the
economy, war and magic. He gives several
different examples of market bubbles, such as
the Mississippi Scheme and the infamous Tulip
Mania in the Netherlands. Ever since it was
written, investors have used it as a guide to help
identify boom and bust cycles. Extraordinary
Popular Delusions and The Madness of Crowds
has had an important influence on economists
in understanding of crowd psychology and
feedback loops.
