Some of you may remember the name, Patty Hearst. She was the granddaughter of media mogul William Randolph Hearst. If you ever saw the movie Citizen Kane, it purported to parallel the life of Hearst. Apparently, it was so accurate Hearst tried to get the film banned. Yes, cancel culture was in operation even in 1941.
In 1974, Patti Hearst was abducted by a group called the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA), a group of violent radicals dedicated to robbing to feed the homeless. Hearst disappeared until one day, she was spotted brandishing a sizeable firearm while robbing a bank. At this point, it appeared that she had conspired with her captors in a classic case of Stockholm Syndrome.
Stockholm Syndrome originated in Sweden the previous year when four people were held hostage for several days during a bank robbery. The hostages were so psychologically affected that they bonded with their captors. Even after their release, they refused to testify against them in a trial.
Hearst was captured and imprisoned for a couple of years before being released by President Jimmy Carter and ultimately received a pardon. Whether she was coerced because of physical abuse or joined the SLA of her own volition was hotly debated.
Stockholm Syndrome is ever-present today. People appear to be acting against their self-interest, affecting all of us. Remember, the syndrome manifests as bonding with one’s abusers. In the past few years, there has been plenty of abuse.
A few days ago, Australians in Victoria re-elected the Labor government for the third time. The state was led by the thuggish premier Dan Andrews who left no stone unturned in unleashing the police onto everyday citizens. Including arresting pregnant women and slamming people to the ground for not wearing a mask. Also, Melbourne had the distinction of being the most locked-down city in the world. Did it achieve anything? Nope. It was a shameful display, what you would expect in Communist China.
Meanwhile, Victoria has more Covid than any other state. Yet, here it is, Victorians elected for more of the same. Looks like Stockholm Syndrome to me, with many Victorians psychologically damaged.
We mustn’t forget that West Australians aren’t much better, re-electing Mark McGowan earlier in the year, who isolated already the most isolated state. Again, to what end. Covid broke out here despite all the restrictive and silly mandates. Similarly, West Australians voted for this authoritarian government. The number of people still wearing masks shows how psychological abuse works.
Stockholm Syndrome knows no boundaries. How many Americans voted and continue to vote for politicians whose stated goal is to demolish the fossil fuel industry. The chickens have come home to roost as energy prices have gone through the roof, yet people continue to vote for the climate change fanatics.
The Great Reset and the World Economic Forum are now mainstream. They tell us that they will be instituted digital currencies and digital vaccine passports. These people are unelected, yet elected leaders worldwide are signing on board with these tyrants. They’re telling you, “You’ll own nothing and be happy”. They’re also telling you that they will control every aspect of your life and regulate how and where you spend your money. We already had an introduction to this tyranny in Canada, where truckers who protested lockdowns had their accounts frozen and depleted of cash. Even those supporting funding pages for the truckers had their bank accounts suspended. Yet, what did Canadians do? They voted for the abuser, Justin Trudeau.
The most dangerous and insidious form of Stockholm Syndrome is the “vaccine” policy. Everyone knows someone who has been negatively affected by the product. It is the most dangerous product ever imposed on humanity with no effectiveness. Yet, many continue to obey their abusers, the health bureaucrats who keep spouting lies. Even worse, many who have had reactions after their first injections have come back for more, sometimes with devastating results.
You have presented an interesting point of view.
I myself have experienced more often in my circle of acquaintances and family that people prefer to get involved with the tormentors (government and media) than to admit that they have been deceived.
For some, it even goes so far that they would rather sacrifice their lives than admit that harmful substances were injected into their bodies. In doing so, they all ignore the fact that we have already been in World War III for several years, which is being fought mainly on a biological level.
The first experiments took place in Ukraine in 2009, where tens of thousands of people fell ill in several cities within a few days. They were sprayed with toxins from the planes and made to believe they were coming down with hemorrhagic pneumonia. http://baltimorechronicle.com/2009/111109Lendman.shtml
Then, as now, people do not want to know about it and prefer to listen to the fairy tale of a virus that was to infect the whole world within a few weeks.
Yesterday I followed an interesting debate where this was briefly touched upon https://video.icic-net.com/w/sdWHeFYZcMM4p4RvSncnDF
Human nature is an interesting study. I have always found it puzzling that a person who is a victim, can be able to take the side of their captors or oppressors. I noticed that between the now jabbed and the attitude they have towards Fauci, and the Elites. Cognitive dissonance is almost like a type of reprogramming "key" for the average human.
It's really quite sad, people keep being willing to suffer the evils they deem are sufferable. Just shows that you cannot escape a jail that you don't know you are in.
Only about 10 to 15% of the global population is of an actual awareness of what importance freedom has for life. I am hopeful that at some point a lot more people get an epiphany that they are "individuals," and are not part of a "hive mind."
Great article Ely, and a very important topic.
