John! I’ve been on a similar path myself! Same topic, different name. I call these Mind Viruses, “The Deadening.”
From my article, we read the following:
“For millennia, every culture has warned of invisible influences that affect human consciousness. The ancient Greeks called them Archons. Christians call it Satan or Beelzebub. To Native Americans, it’s wetiko. Carl Jung called it “the imitator and evil principle.” Modern philosophers call them mind parasites.”
It is a spiritual battle and people really need to reconnect to our Creator in order to restore sanity. Matt 6:5. Enter into your closet (room) and shut the door...and the Father which seeth in secret will reward you openly. Our Creator is all powerful and people really need to go to our Source. The answers will come, when people do as the Master told the lawyer in Matt 22;35-40. The #1 Commandment was to acknowledge and love the One who created the world and all life.
AMEN. I believe you are on to something here. Spiritual warriors of some skill are needed to neuter the Satanic Archons and the patterns they have impressed upon human consciousness. Time for a spiritual jail break!
wow...this is the perfect book people need to read now as we grapple with our total "cognitive crash" as we see the sold world dissolving and weird demons pushing deadly injections and selling us a crock of sh*t while they steal as much as they can.
At the present I am reading a book by Julia Scheeres about the Jones town self annihilation. It seemed relevant to me right now. Nothing surprises me. At my senior residence we are still being urged to get our "boosters" and a few people have stopped me in the hall to inquire if I "got mine".
Well, I am quite proud that i never took any-- but I don't want them to have a stroke so I just nod noncommitedly in a way that could mean anything.
It's so sad. These are good people who always did what was "required" and wanted to "keep their neighbors safe"...
A few years back an intriguing documentary on the Rajneesh cult in Oregon touched on the Jonestown incident. Though the documentary did not overtly reach the conclusion I did, it was worth watching. My conclusion (analysis) was that the Rajneesh events were part of a CIA MK ULTRA social engineering project that targeted Oregon specifically. When you break apart the pattern of what took place - psychiatry, mind-altering drugs, coercion, undercover ops - it is difficult to reach any other conclusion. We may be seeing that op unleashed on a grander scale now.
So are you saying it was a "practice run" for covid...That's highly possible, I remember there was one such community--it may have been Oregon where the great "enlightened one" drove around in brand new luxury vehicles...while everyone else had no cars. I don't remember the make...anyway...it was completely weird how people fell for this obvious (to me anyway} shyster. And to elaborate further on the fact that there is really NO LIMIT to human stupidity or "gullibility" as it is sometimes called....there was a version of a TV evangelist who worked out of Detroit and had a congregation. Every Sunday he would instruct his devotees to "throw money/checks/etc at a certain wall....what stuck to the wall belonged to THE LORD... and what fell on to the floor was his to do as he wish...As you can imagine...not much stuck on the wall.
Then there was this preacher-- JOHN OF GOD-- in some South American backwash-- he said if you sent him money he could heal you remotely. He would have people come up on his podium barely able to walk and suddenly after he passed his hands over them they would jump and run around....Shakespeare did opine
"There are more things in heaven and earth Horatio...."and so on.
I was an Edgar Cayce fan a long time ago and I read books about his various predictions and how he could pinpoint the cause of an illness and recommend some remedy. He took no money for his work. Cayce healed people psychically and claimed to have visions of their "past lives" He also said that some time in the next thousand years or so, large land portions of North America would be under water and there would be earth quakes etc etc.
What does all this mean? Possibly only "sound and fury....signifying nothing"
Anyway...it can be entertaining if you don't worry too much about things you can't change....
I know the CIA and MK ultra did weird things to normal people who worked in government offices...like put LSD in their coffee ... that was well before Timothy Leary....just to see what happens. I think I remember something about one victim jumping out the window from high up. I don't know what happened to him....Does anyone?
It is worth watching the documentary on Rajneesh, the guy who drove around in the Rolls Royce. He was recruited from India, not by religious folks but rather by psychologists with government ties. They messed with the minds of devotees, and eventually, they forced the participants to drink from a big vat of psychiatric drugs... very much like the Jonestown situation. So what appeared to be a religious commune was really an MK ULTRA Op. They then went further and played manipulative games with the people in surrounding small towns. They put them in stressful situations and neutered their political power. Eventually, they had to slip Rajneesh out of Oregon on a surreptitious flight. A friend of mine's dad was the last Republican mayor of Portland and they started running major dirty tricks on him and his family, personally. They were all out with their social engineering scheme. Really worth watching the documentary.
The MK ULTRA victim jumped out the window to his death. The other character who was a victim was John Forbes Nash, the brilliant game theory mathematician. The film Brilliant Mind was about him but it was a lie... in the film they made it seem like he suffered a random bout of mental illness. In fact they drugged him and drove him insane. They broke him.
I saw that film and really did not like it. I am relieved that it may not be true. That this could happen to him is diabolical. What a world.
I happened to know a schizophrenic individual a bit like this. He received scholarships to the University of Michigan for a phd program. He protested that he did not want his work used for weapons. A tree fell on him. He survived a few days and died in hospital....very tragic.
That human gullibility and stupidity you mentioned reminds me of some of the terrorist Muslims that have been indoctrinated to strap themselves with explosives and blow themselves to smithereens among the so-called "infidels" so that they can get into heaven and get 72 female virgins, as opposed to 72 male virgins. The Cayce healing claim makes no sense.
There are many books about him and eye witness accounts. At this point I have lost interest in Cayce.
"Making sense" does not always pan out. Think about this....We live in a world completely unimaginable to our great grand parents: Instant around the globe contact by telephone, Jet aircraft and passenger planes seating hundreds, machines that can penetrate the body and make images of internal organs, robots performing surgeries etc etc...
None of this would be believable to the previous generations. They rode around in buggies and the mail was by "pony express"--Some of my relations were actual SERFS in Russia...and were literally "owned".-- They reported hiding the children in various places in the home--like outhouses to save their lives. Their journeys to the United States are almost as unbelievable as any science fiction. I knew them. They still spoke Russian. A friend of ours married a woman from Yugoslavia-- and she speaks of similar events.
There is darkness and there is light. Take your choice.
What REALLY does not make "sense" to me is TIME TRAVEL. Perhaps it is just me .... but I like things in the past to be fixed....not malleable. We may not always know what happened but I like to believe there are versions that are more factually correct than the rest. For that reason I did not like the movie BACK TO THE FUTURE...which addresses the possibility of time travel. It is an old theme of science fiction, though.
When we blow through the 'TIME' barrier....everything becomes an illusion.
Absolutely brilliant -- thank you for this important oh-so-timely work. I always thought of Dostoyevsky's novel as "The Possessed" and it's perhaps the only one I haven't read (!!). As a young man, I was deeply into both Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky -- his "Brother's Karamazov" has been among my favorite all-time reads. Now I will need to read Demons, and your new book to boot!
Honestly, it's the very best. I mean nothing can touch Crime and Punishment in terms of sheer drive, and in terms of portrayal of insanity, but Demons has other qualities, and works well as a mystery. Finally, it's the one that best conveys D's central concerns.
Well, in my view Brothers Karamazov represents one of the most profound moral, spiritual, and metaphysical inquiries of all time -- covers the full spectrum of human nature and it continues to inspire me to this day. And i look forward to reading Demons soon!
Brilliant John, no greater manifestation than the bullet in Kirk's neck, and in Trump's ear, mutilated children, live-birth abortions, 70k Gazans slaughtered, Goya revisited indeed.txs
Glad you correctly perceived all of the cover image allusions! Some readers think the cover is too disconcerting, though it seems to me the subject matter is even more disconcerting!
absolutely : the hell we are living thru is institutionally corrupt to its core, is a madness Goya probably had no concept of. We are indeed eating ourselves alive in more ways than one.
John, you can go in a number of different directions with that great idea. You could cover cults and psychological research, such as the Asche Conformity work, Stanley Milgram’s Obedience to Authority and the Zimbardo Prison Experiment. The list is endless. Can’t wait.
Been enjoying your writings immensely the last few years. They are insightful and concise.
Thank you!
Yes, it seems that common sense is no longer common, if it ever was. My college graduation was 45 years ago. Reflecting, my favorite course was Logic, but 10 years ago it was Geology, and 10 years prior to that it was Sociology. Things change. Each topic is fascinating still, but I see now that a sound perspective on logic benefitted me the most, and maybe even saved me.
Well considering this "vaccine" destroyed organs such as the pineal gland and caused dramatic alterations in blood....It is amazing things are as calm as they are. Apparently in the "vaxxed" countries the populations are declining and not maintaining replacement levels for the mortalities--so many have "turbo" cancer and myocarditis.
Great way to frame the phenomenon. Can it be treated with a broad, natural anti-viral agent? What would that look like? (I'm only being partially facetious).

Preordered! I’m looking forward to it.
Thank you!
Sounds like an excellent book. I hope there will be an audible version.
There will be!
Pre-ordered! Will look for forward to it's release! Thank you for all your great writing!

You must mean February 10th, 2026?
Thank you! I have such a foggy brain this morning!
Darn it! I thought you had developed a time machine, and the book would magically appear on my shelf as soon as I ordered it.
You’re welcome. I knew you’d want to correct it.

How much “mind” damage was caused by the holy vax?
Ever since Covid, people seem to have lost their minds.
Well considering this "vaccine" destroyed organs such as the pineal gland and caused dramatic alterations in blood....It is amazing things are as calm as they are. Apparently in the "vaxxed" countries the populations are declining and not maintaining replacement levels for the mortalities--so many have "turbo" cancer and myocarditis.
Great way to frame the phenomenon. Can it be treated with a broad, natural anti-viral agent? What would that look like? (I'm only being partially facetious).
