LEFT PROMOTING MASS DELUSION, SAYS JOURNALIST

As part of the progressive-left influence that Kupelian says is so adversely affecting the nation, Americans are being intimidated, bullied and seduced into accepting a whole slew of false “narratives” as though they represented reality, said Kupelian. 

 A “narrative,” he said, is just “a nice name for a … mass delusion.” 

… 

 … I’m saying we have a culture and a presidency in which basically we’re taught there is no God, there is no right and wrong and the biblical morals that this country did pretty well with for several centuries are oppressive and racist and we need to get rid of them!" … 

 … 

How can a person cope with living in a world of false narratives and dreamlike illusions? Kupelian argues the solution is simple: 

 "We need to wake up. We just need to wake up." 

 He continued: "People tell me, 'You know, this is a nightmare we’re living in under Obama.' … It’s true, but there’s only one step away from a nightmare to being awake again. You just have to wake up. You have to put aside these sleepy delusions" that make us feel so comfortable in our dream world, he said.

That is an excerpt from WND’s editorial/promotion of author David Kupelian’s new book about how the Obama/Leftist American transformation agenda is destroying America from within by eradicating everything that has made the USA an exceptional nation in a world of oppressive agendas.

I haven’t read Kupelian’s book yet but I’m going to get a copy.

Listen to David Kupelian’s rapid-fire interview with Brian Sussman on San Francisco’s KSFO Morning Show:

From alleged widespread racism to “Islamophobia” to “gender reassignment,” the way the American left currently portrays many of today’s top issues is not only wrong, says bestselling author David Kupelian, it is an attempt to forcibly replace reality with a series of coveted delusions – commonly called “narratives.”

Kupelian, whose latest book is “The Snapping of the American Mind,” made his comments during a fast-paced drive-time interview with popular San Francisco KSFO radio talker Brian Sussman.

“The statistics are simply mind-melting,” said Kupelian, referring to the astronomical levels of addiction, depression and family breakdown in today’s America, which he ties in his book to the left’s ongoing “fundamental transformation of America.” “One hundred and thirty million people are dependent on legal or illegal mind-altering substances. We’re not talking 130,000. This sounds like all the adults, almost – it’s like [we're] a nation of addicts!”

As part of the progressive-left influence that Kupelian says is so adversely affecting the nation, Americans are being intimidated, bullied and seduced into accepting a whole slew of false “narratives” as though they represented reality, said Kupelian.

A “narrative,” he said, is just “a nice name for a … mass delusion.”

Kupelian rattled off a few examples of present-day false media narratives:

“Faisal Mohammad wasn’t motivated by jihad.”

“Bruce Jenner is a woman.”

“Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, was a victim of racist police – even though it’s proven that he was a predator,” Kupelian added. “He was a punk on drugs who had just knocked off a convenience store and he tried to kill a cop, to grab his gun!” But “it doesn’t matter” to the left, said Kupelian. “You still hear about Ferguson and Michael Brown” as though the mythical “gentle giant” was a victim of trigger-happy, racist cops.

Another delusion-based narrative, said Kupelian, is that “Islam is a religion of peace. I have to tell you, I have about 100 family members who were killed by jihadists during the Armenian Genocide,” said Kupelian. “Islam has not been a religion of peace for the last 14 centuries. And it doesn’t show any signs of beginning now.”

"Where is this all coming from?" Kupelian asked rhetorically.

"We don’t live in a vacuum. … I’m saying we have a culture and a presidency in which basically we’re taught there is no God, there is no right and wrong and the biblical morals that this country did pretty well with for several centuries are oppressive and racist and we need to get rid of them!" He added, "There’s a side of us that feels like this is liberation, but there’s a price to pay. We’re paying the price now."

Indeed, American politics has become so unhinged, he said, it is hard for normal Americans to even process what is happening.

"Hillary Clinton should be in prison, he noted, adding, "We have this socialist who, God bless Donald Trump, he referred to Bernie Sanders as a 'communist maniac.'"

He then told Sussman: "I defy your listeners to go to the CPUSA website, Communist Party USA [cpusa.org] … Tell me the difference between the communist – forget socialism, the Communist Party USA – and the Democrat Party. Everything [on the CPUSA site] is 'war on women,' 'racism,' all the same stuff" over which today's Democrat Party obsesses, he said.

The result of this political and moral insanity, Kupelian believes, is a kind of massive psychological strain imposed on Americans who find it difficult to live on a diet of lies.

In "The Snapping of the American Mind," said Kupelian, "I’m connecting the dots between that big picture" of the Obama-left's "fundamental transformation" of America "and the individual picture of the wretchedness and brokenness and pathology of the 130 million Americans that are dependent on [toxic] substances," said Kupelian, who contends that leftist deception and intimidation "is actually driving good, unsuspecting Americans over the edge to depression, anger, mental illness, addiction, family breakdown – all the pathology and the wretchedness we see on the individual level which we don’t really attach to politics so much."

Sussman, who frequently guest-hosts for Michael Savage on "The Savage Nation" and is the author of "Eco-Tyranny: How the Left’s Green Agenda Will Dismantle America," agreed with Kupelian.

"I hear that all the time!" he exclaimed.

As a talk show host, Sussman said he must often guard his listeners from everything that’s happening.

"If I just gave them the news of the day, people would be crashing their cars," he joked. "Their minds are about to snap. 'I can’t take this anymore.' And I think you’re nailing it with this book."

But it can be hard to break away from an all-encompassing media culture. Misspeaking for a moment, Kupelian said, "Bruce Jenner is still a woman," when he meant to say Jenner is still a man.

Realizing his mistake, he laughed, "Oh no, they’ve gotten to me!"

Sussman chortled, "It’s gotten to you as well, your mind has snapped, David!"

Jokes aside, Kupelian’s message is deadly serious. And for those who actually want to help troubled people, he has simple advice – stick to reality. He affirmed the biological impossibility of "sex change" – or to use today's euphemism, "gender reassignment" – citing the finding of the former psychiatrist-in-chief at Johns Hopkins Hospital that changing genders is "biologically impossible."

"This is a controversial thing to say, especially in San Francisco," Kupelian advised. "You cannot transition from one sex to the other. An adult male has about 37 trillion cells. Every one of them is permanently branded with Y [male] chromosomes."

Kupelian said going along with transgenderism and other absurdities amounts to encouraging mental illness. As he put it, if a pathologically skinny anorexic woman thinks she is fat – a common syndrome among anorexics – "we don’t need to pretend she is fat.”

How can a person cope with living in a world of false narratives and dreamlike illusions? Kupelian argues the solution is simple:

"We need to wake up. We just need to wake up."

He continued: "People tell me, 'You know, this is a nightmare we’re living in under Obama.' … It’s true, but there’s only one step away from a nightmare to being awake again. You just have to wake up. You have to put aside these sleepy delusions" that make us feel so comfortable in our dream world, he said.

In the end, Sussman told his listeners, "I want to promote this book heavily. David, great book, and it's flying off the shelves as I would expect."
