"The most dangerous psychological mistake is the projection of the shadow on to others; this is the root of almost all conflicts." -Carl Jung

It feels like we're living through an era of extreme projection by the most nefarious sorts. But the truth is simply that we're stepping out of an era in which mass projection was successful insofar as it was cost effective.

These days, one person documenting a contradiction can quickly demonstrate proof that can spread as virally as the lie.

Once you recognize the pattern, you begin to see it often. It's ubiquitous among those whose power depends on control. The psychological profile of the Kunlangeta is stamped on society through the flaws in the organization of our economic incentive structures. Technology's (a)symmetry problem ensures the result, encoded in a mind virus, implanted in the youth.


Maybe pot smoking is the variable that suddenly changed everything just recently? Or temperatures rising? Maybe somebody should check out the heart attack rates closer to the equator. That would be genius!

Just so we're clear on the whole myocarditis thing, I have never personally seen a single case in 13+ years in emergency medicine. Not one. Pericarditis yes. Do they occur? Sure. But not like this. Pediatric strokes? Come on now.

I'm no expert in Jungian psychology, but my test for psychological concepts is how they grow on me as I meditate on them. Maybe I'm suddenly projecting when I see projection everywhere? Or maybe it really is all getting louder. Louder means the footsteps are getting closer.

Confession through projection. And a total lack of self-awareness that would be funny if it weren’t so sad.

I do not think most people fully appreciate the disinformation campaign taking place right now in right-wing media to de-legitimize Biden as President-elect. It has totally saturated coverage. It's everywhere.

I recently subscribed to VivaFreiBarnes at Locals.com. I find Frei and Barnes to be crisp and educational. Even if by some strange twist I never again find any of their discussions compelling, the succinct phrasing of this concept, which is part of the mass psychosis unraveling, is pure gold. This is another example of what I see as "new media as educators/education", where the masses can reject the mainstream media for a combination of education and reality after coming to grips with various flavors of Gell-Mann amnesia. Viva Frei may have popularized the phrase "confession through projection", though I haven't found out for certain whether he was the first to use it. Either way, it's a t-shirt now.

No.

There is no Global Warming on Venus. In fact, Venus has the same temperature as Earth at the one atmosphere level (sea level) with a very minor adjustment for being closer to the Sun.

💉 Uh-oh! This won’t be any good for the dwindling covid jab business. Tuesday, The New York Times ran a story with the stingy headline, “ Covid Shots May Slightly Raise Stroke Risk in the Oldest Recipients. Shots! Not vaccines. The linguistic sleight-of-hand didn’t stick past the headline, but I’d like to shake that rebellious headline editor’s hand.

It was a double-whammy. The Times just admitted there’s a teeny-tiny, slight problem with the jabs, nothing to worry about, you’ll barely notice it, but they might occasionally cause you to stroke out or possibly, rarely, very rarely, probably never happen, but you might get epilepsy. Strokes and seizures, oh my.

According to a brand-new analysis by the FDA, the mRNA jabs may slightly (after all possible adjustments were made) increase the risk of stroke when combined with the flu shot. You never know. Specifically, the researchers detected an increased stroke signal among folks 85 years or older who got the Pfizer jab, and those 65 to 74 who got the Moderna shot.

People in those groups who got both covid and flu shots saw a +20% increase in the risk of ischemic stroke after the Pfizer booster, and a +35% increase in stroke risk after Moderna.

And they were trying really hard not to find anything.

A separate FDA analysis, published at the same time last week, found a “small” but statistically significant increase in seizures after covid vaccination in children ages 2 to 5.

When you add up all these “small” and “slight” and “rare” additional risks, at the end of the day, when you put it all together, does it maybe total to numbers that aren’t actually “small” or “slight?” Is the mRNA shots’ demonic confounder the fact that they injure people in so many different ways?

The Times blandly reported the FDA would not make the researchers available for interviews. For some reason.

Right, they claim people are dropping dead from caffeine now, though they never did before.

Couldn't have anything to do with an experimental injection given to most of the population, could it?

From the article, concerning that caffeinated lemonade:
In reality, a 30-ounce large size contains 390 milligrams

That is about what a Starbucks Grande coffee has. Regular coffee has about 100mg per cup, so that lemonade was less than 4 cups of average joe. Panera needs to get autopsies to see if the high caffeine shot was just a trigger for heart failure in a an already jabb damaged pumper.

True, but only if you are vaccinated with an mRNA Covid-19 vaccine.

Some of the classic ways psychiatry gaslights patients includes:

•Telling them any symptom that emerges is due to the pre-existing mental illness.

•When a patient experiences adverse effects from a drug, raising the dosage rather than awknowledge the side effects.
Note: this is an story commonly seen immediately preceding catastrophic school shootings, but unfortunately, since there is widespread denial in the psychiatric field that SSRIs can make patients turn psychotic, it is frequently recognized (hence leading to it happening over and over again).

•When a patient experiences withdrawal reactions (which is very common and one of the most insidious issues with the drugs), telling the patient that those side effects prove the patient “needed” the drug (as it was treating their mental illness) rather than it being recognized a dangerous withdrawal effect.

•When a patient develops new psychiatric symptoms (e.g., mania) patient’s are told the drug did not “cause” the symptoms, but rather, that the drug “unmasked” a psychiatric disorder that had always been there (even though it would have never been “unmasked” if the patient had not used the drug in the first place). For example, bipolar disorder, is a debilitating condition which around 25% of longterm SSRI users develop (hence leading to an epidemic of bipolar disorder ever since we started mass medicating with SSRIs), and since it is so common, the “unmasking” story has become the party line most psychiatrists use to rationalize the harm being caused to their patients. ...

What is Gaslighting
One of the classic ways an abuser controls their prey is to manipulate the environment so that the abused individual begins doubting their own observations regardless of what is occurring in front of them.

In the 1944 movie, Gaslight, this was accomplished by the villainous husband (played by Charles Boyer) adjusting the intake to gas-powered lights (causing them to flicker) and simultaneously denying that any change was occurring to his mentally abused wife (played by Ingrid Bergman). The term gaslighting originated from this classic movie.

In modern times, this is accomplished by having medical providers all echo the same message that a patient’s injury has nothing to do with the pharmaceutical (or other medical procedure in question). Most commonly, it instead is argued that the symptoms they are experiencing are due to pre-existing psychiatric issues the patient has (e.g., anxiety), which are treated with medications that often create additional issues.

Before we go any further, I want to emphasize just how miserable this is to go through as an injured patient. Imagine what it would be like if (due to the medical injury) the world you had previously known collapsed around you and every single person you trusted (including your friends and family who defer to the judgment of “experts”) told you that it was all in your head and you just needed psychiatric help. It’s a perfect recipe for going insane.

People don’t like being gaslit. The psychological techniques used by salesmen, con men, and pickup artists are highly effective right up until the point at which the target becomes aware of the game. Awareness brings emotional blowback, making further manipulation effectively impossible because the target now regards every piece of information originating from the manipulator with hostile suspicion.

You may as well, but you really can't warn anybody at this point. Nobody is taking the boosters except the mentally ill, and the damage has been done.
170   Patrick   2024 Mar 19, 8:18pm  

Maybe "warn" is not the right word.

"Convince others that the worst crime in human history was perpetrated on them" is what I really mean.

This article exists, but not "fart", but "cold".

https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/24167936/common-cold-blood-clot-disorder/

However, it's the Sun, however this also shows how useless mainstream corporate media is. Rupert Murdoch became a billionaire by spreading lies. I hope he burns in hell.

People bitch and moan about me asking for sources, like this is a "leftist thing". The article itself is as stupid enough, why embellish? Western media is as bullshit as Soviet media was in 1985 now. You don't need to modify it to demonstrate it.
