I don't think people think for themselves much now. They just repeat what they heard on MSM like it's gospel and need to have it repeated back, or they get anxious or angry.

At times I feel surrounded by robots with no original thoughts or feelings, all programmed by MSM. It's not called 'programming' for nothing.

I feel as if I'm trapped in the 1976 German movie by Werner Herzog:



The setting is an 18th-century Bavarian town with a glassblowing factory that produces a brilliant red ruby glass. When the master glass blower dies, the secret to producing the ruby glass is lost. The local Baron and factory owner is obsessed with the ruby glass and believes it to have magical properties. With the loss of the secret, he soon descends into madness along with the rest of the townspeople. The main character is Hias, a seer from the hills, who predicts the destruction of the factory in a fire.

During shooting, almost all of the actors performed while under hypnosis. Every actor in every scene was hypnotized, with the exception of the character Hias and the professional glassblowers who appear in the film. The hypnotized actors give very strange performances, which Herzog intended to suggest the trance-like state of the townspeople in the story. Herzog provided the actors with most of their dialogue, memorised during hypnosis. However, many of the hypnotised actors' gestures and movements occurred spontaneously during filming.

Media is a great hypnotist.
