Well, butter my buns and call me a biscuit… if this ain’t the biggest revealing tell in years.
Apparently Big Tech and big propaganda media, Reuters and the Associated Press, have joined together to refute the concept of “Mass Formation Psychosis”, and pushed their collective narrative into the narrative engineering system:
The Associated Press – SEE HERE and Reuters – SEE HERE, quickly rush to the “fact check” typeset to stop people from recognizing what is most likely the cause of their own psychosis. In a world where things are no longer shocking, this is, well, a little shocking, in a weird and seemingly Orwellian kind of way.
Yes Alice, the same “experts” and media who are credibly accused of creating/enabling the mass formation psychosis would like to assure us that no such reality exists. This is almost too funny.
(AP) – […] “The concept has no academic credibility,” Stephen Reicher, a social psychology professor at the University of St Andrews in the U.K., wrote in an email to The Associated Press. The term also does not appear in the American Psychological Association’s Dictionary of Psychology.
“Psychosis” is a term that refers to conditions that involve some disconnect from reality. According to a National Institutes of Health estimate, about 3% of people experience some form of psychosis at some time in their lives.
[…] The description of “mass formation psychosis” offered by Malone resembles discredited concepts, such as “mob mentality” and “group mind,” according to John Drury, a social psychologist at the University of Sussex in the U.K. who studies collective behavior. The ideas suggest that “when people form part of a psychological crowd they lose their identities and their self-control; they become suggestible, and primitive instinctive impulses predominate,” he said in an email.
That notion has been discredited by decades of research on crowd behavior, Drury said. “No respectable psychologist agrees with these ideas now,” he said.
Multiple experts told the AP that while there is evidence that groups can shape or influence one’s behaviors — and that people can and do believe falsehoods that are put forward by the leader of a group — those concepts do not involve the masses experiencing “psychosis” or “hypnosis.” (read more)
Reuters offers this simultaneous rebuttal:
(Reuters) – “Mass formation psychosis” is not an academic term recognized in the field of psychology, nor is there evidence of any such phenomenon occurring during the COVID-19 pandemic, multiple experts in crowd psychology have told Reuters.
[…] There is no evidence to suggest a “mass formation psychosis” has occurred during the pandemic, experts told Reuters. The term itself is not recognised among academics, and modern research into crowd psychology has shown that crowds do not behave in mindless or non-individualistic ways. (more)
Once a collective group creates an alternate reality of itself, in this case a totalitarian reality based on government needing to create an irrational illusion of fear that becomes part of the accepted national identity, how can anyone call attention to the outcomes without finding themselves in front of the board of inquisition who organizes the collective?
Put another way… if the pod under your bed malfunctioned, but the pods under all the other beds in the city worked, what happens when you awaken and realize you are not one of them, but you must engage in the world of them while looking for others -like yourself- whose pods hopefully malfunctioned? That is the current challenge for anyone trying to communicate on contrary evidence and yet avoid the ire from the collective board of COVID compliance who have successfully brainwashed the audience.
As a rather prescient Lewis Carroll shared so brilliantly in his novel of Alice, Through The Looking Glass:
“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn’t be. And what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?”
So here we are.
Cheers !
Actually, the press did it for him, or should I say Twitter. Mattias Desmet’s theory of Mass Formation had been discussed for months.

Well, that settles it. Their group of “experts” have spoken. NOT!
How about we just call it the madness of crowds? Mass hysteria? Mass delusion?
Ever notice that whenever the Left is losing an argument, they just lie about it? When they believe their own lies, that IS psychosis–and that’s what’s happening to Leftists on Covid and several other topics.
There is no evidence? Years back a radio show called war of the worlds created massive fear among the population because people didn’t know it wasn’t a real news broadcast. Now the fake news feeds people lies day after dat, month after month from all angles.

BRAINWASHING A Synthesis of the Russian Textbook on Psychopolitics
https://www.educate-yourself.org/cn/Brain-Washing-A-Synthesis-of-the-Russian-Textbook-on-Psychopolitics-46pages.pdf
With an opening address by Lavrenty Beria to American students at the Lenin University in the 1950s. American Communist students even back then?
Perhaps Joe McCarthy wasn’t wrong at all!.
There’s a lot of good material in this text!
It lays out a plan to infiltrate US psychology / psychiatry and through that all of our institutions and systems.
ANYBODY in now days and times, that thinks McCarthy was wrong and a nutjob are clearly unable to take in truth….
we as a people owe the man a profound apology, and yes there are still communists in the state department, et al.
Mass psychology has been used by governments against people throughout history but never so intently and thoroughly as with the advent of movies and television. Clinical psychology is all the rage solving out personal problems, but the mass psychology that is used against us everyday to control our behavior goes unnoticed. What could possess a person to allow another to take away his possessions, cut off all his hair, dress him in green, and send him off, leaving his family behind to kill a total stranger or be mangled in attempting to do so. Yet everyday, we set aside a time to sit in front of a propaganda emitter that puts us in a trance for hours to convince us that such behavior is required and demonstrates with grotesque detail how it should be done. We are so easily duped.
Yuri Bezmenov: “The main emphasis of the KGB is NOT in the area of intelligence at all (secret blueprints, etc.) …only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country. It’s a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages. The first one being “demoralization”. …
The result? The result you can see … the people who graduated in the 60’s, dropouts or half-baked intellectuals, are now occupying the positions of power in the government, civil service, business, mass media, and educational systems. You are stuck with them. You can’t get through to them. They are contaminated. They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern [alluding to Pavlov]. You cannot change their mind even if you expose them to authentic information. Even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still can not change the basic perception and the logic of behavior. In other words, for these people the process of demoralization is complete and irreversible. To rid society of these people you need another 15 or 20 years to educate a new generation of patriotically minded and common sense people who would be acting in favor and in the interests of United States society.”

Thank you, Arthur
Doubt I’m alone in having seen mob behavior and crowds out of control etc….any hard fought football game has a similar vibe in the stadium. We seem to have (at least) two separate universes where each group believes the others are deluded and out of touch:
Remember the parable of the blind men and the elephant? I really think we need to sit down and talk.
“…and remember, subjects of the State, there is No Such Thing as Mass Psychosis! But if you insist otherwise, we will shut down the economy, ruin your business, close your churches, ban medical treatments, force you to take an experimental injection, destroy your child’s education, censor your speech and conduct a Reichstag Riot. Another one, I mean.”
Their all liars, damned ones.
L.A.-based Psychiatrist Dr Mark McDonald identified this at the very beginning of the “pandemic,” and has been speaking out about it ever since.
If one searches one’s memory, one may recall hearing about this over two years ago.
Dr McDonald has stepped up his efforts to educate the American public about what is happening to them and/or their family, friends, and neighbors, and has been appearing on every show that will have him.
Dr McDonald says this is no longer a “data battle.” Dr McDonald believes the “data battle” has already been won. Dr McDonald believes we are in a full-blown psychiatric battle, with too many having been rendered mentally ill.
Dr McDonald believes we are separated into two groups, urban and rural, with urban being the mentally ill and rural being mentally fairly stable.
Dr McDonald recommends moving past arguing the facts; most everyone either knows the facts or believes they do.
Dr McDonald says what we now must do is move on to empathy. Tell your mentally ill family member, friend, or neighbor that they seem to be worried about something, and ask them about what they seem so troubled. Then, listen, really listen. Don’t make any suggestions at first. The mentally ill person will generally see their errors just by allowing the mentally ill person to talk, and listening to them. Suggestions and corrections to false data allows for fallacies to be exposed and remedied.
There is much, much more to this, and I explain this badly. This video is priceless, imo.
Yes, this is Alex Jones. Who cares? Owen Schroyer does a great interview and allows the doctor to talk, and interrupts with cogent questions. The uploader has been kind enough to remove all commercials, and there is no presence of Alex Jones anywhere.
Take 41 minutes and learn. It is worth your time, from a real Psychiatrist who knows his subject matter.

Dr Mark McDonald: Discusses The Mass Formation Psychosis Happening In Parts Of US & A Way Forward 41:23

its well on its way to being deleted from wikipedia too
The very heavy amount of denial is a ‘perfect example ‘ of mass media psychosis. Psychotic behavior relies on denial, to pump a counter reality, when faced with obvious examples of mass formation. Censorship is a psychotic attribute. Ever heard of this one, if you censor, you’re in denial. Insanity is doing the same things over and over and expecting different results. Censhorship is what tyrants do in mass formations. “They cannot handle the truth!”
If you haven’t heard this yet, take a few minutes to listen.
I tear up every time I hear it, as it expresses exactly how I feel
I suspect it does for a lot of us here at the treehouse.
BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES EACH TIME I HEAR IT. I KNOW I AM NOT ALONE. THANK YOU.
Never saw this before. Thank you so much for sharing
It’s no easy conquest to turn the world population into blithering idiots ready to obey whatever the FEW throw at them.
It’s so successful, the masses have given it a name. And now the FEW don’t want to own it.
NEVER FORGET the long ago head of the CIA SAID:
“We will know when we have succeeded when everything the people believe is one of our lies.”
1.JFK was shot from behind from a good distance with a magic bullet. Warren commission detailed study confirmed it,
and the shooter was shot on camera, and the guy that shot him was shot also. “Cut outs” those are called.
2.Vietnam war started with a mythical shot fired on a Navy ship. Couple million locals and 55,000 of our guys died,
and the list of our crippled and wounded is endless. Kissinger called them collateral damage cannon fodder.
3.Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.
4.Syria used poison gas on their own people.
5.Lybia ruler Gaddafi was an evil tyrant in his perfectly lovely well run country. When we slaughtered him and his country and stole 1.2 million ounces of gold out of his bank who knows where it went.
6.WE were in the Afghan debacle for 20 years, killed a few million of the locals and a few thousand of our guys,
for war profiteering of a couple TRILLION to control their dope business, and left cause they finally kicked us out. IMHO.
7.We have military bases in 150 countries, maybe more.
8.Obama and Susan Rice organized the regime change in the Ukraine many years ago, now Susan Rice sits next to Biden and the Ukraine fun and games selling them arms and ammo is back on again. Putin is NOT amused.
Being a geriatric with a questionable memory I am sure I have missed a few goodies.
Strange. I must re-read 1981 Nobel laureate Elia Canetti’s Crowds and Power.
I seem to remember many examples of crowds/mobs and psychopathology in that study.
Matthias Desmet, the clinical psychologist who initially spoke of this phenomena, calls it ‘mass formation’, rather than ‘psychosis’ which he (rightly) assumed would trigger people. This situation was extremely evident in Germany in the 1930’s, but I imagine the ‘fact checkers’ in Reuters (who has a connection to Pfizer, by the way) AP, etc., may have missed the class in school that discussed this. Fact checkers are a joke….even the phrase ‘fact checker’ is now nothing but a meme.
“There’s no such thing as mass psychosis. Ask anybody.”
No worries, mask hysteria/psychosis are the fall backs we have been using since the beginning of the panic maskerade/pandemic.
The scientists denying the energy of crowds, whatever you chose to label it, flies in the face of human behaviour over millennia. It is how religions and cults work and group activities like AA can be very beneficial. The Covidian Cult is just one extant example of our current zeitgeist.

The British government and their behavioural scientists have already admitted to using military grade PsyOp in the current pandemic and some of them have admitted to being regretful of such actions:

Even The British Psychological Society admits to using these techniques
https://www.bps.org.uk/news-and-policy/using-behavioural-science-could-give-vital-boost-vaccination-uptake-say
And a recognised doctor supports the existence of psychological warfare being applied to the government’s own people:
