This article by Miles Mathis critiques a piece titled “Gaslighting of the Masses” by C. J. Hopkins, arguing that hopkins himself is engaging in gaslighting by presenting certain historical events as real when Mathis claims they were fabricated. Mathis identifies two key examples of Hopkins’ alleged gaslighting: the Patty Hearst case, Jim Jones’ People’s Temple, and the Manson family, and the Holocaust. Mathis asserts that hopkins uses these events as examples of internal cult manipulation rather than genuine historical occurrences, and that hopkins is attempting to re-establish their reality. He further claims hopkins is misrepresenting the Holocaust by implying that Hitler ordered the Final Solution and that “they lied about the ‘vaccines.‘”
Mathis then investigates Hopkins’ employer, The Consent Factory, Inc., which he describes as a “market-leading provider of post-ideological consulting services” and “experts in the fields of behavioral and psychological conditioning.” He interprets the company’s name and imagery as a direct admission of their role in manipulation. Mathis also points to individuals who recommend Hopkins’ books, such as Matt Taibbi (associated with Rolling Stone, The Nation, Alternet, Daily Beast, The New York Times, and Media Matters), and Max Blumenthal, as evidence of a controlled opposition network. He claims hopkins links to organizations like DARPA, CIA, RAND, and WEF, as well as individuals like James Delingpole, who promotes Ole Dammegard as an expert on false flags, a title Mathis claims belongs to himself.
Mathis provides a long list of websites and individuals he alleges are “CIA fronts” linked to The Consent Factory, including OffGuardian, ZeroHedge, Dissident Voice, The Grayzone, Rubikon, OVALmedia, Glenn Greenwald, Catherine Austin Fitts, Gunnar Kaiser, Mathias Bröckers, Det Poetiske Bureaus, Neue Debatte, Ron Paul Institute, Geopolitics & Empire, Demokratischer Widerstand, Children’s Health Defense, Charles Eisenstein, Mercola, Lew Rockwell, Anthony Freda, Trish Wood, Cory Morningstar, Unlimited Hangout, Come Don Chisciotte, John Steppling, Vanessa Beeley, Global Research, Winter Oak, Tessa Lena, Margaret Anna Alice, Nevermore Media, Mark Crispin Miller, Jerm Warfare, Clifton Duncan, Meghan Murphy, Signs of the Times, The Automatic Earth, 21st Century Wire, Mittdolcino, Aube Digitale, Le Saker Francophone, Giorgio Agamben, James Delingpole, The Fire Online, Steigan.no, Apolut, IM-1776, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, The CIA, Rand Corporation, World Economic Forum, Situationist International, Swiss Policy Research, Consortium News, In This Together, Architects for Social Housing, Western Rifle Shooters, Tablet Magazine, Poetry Foundation, Book of Ours, Multipolar, Pandata, Edward Curtin, The Polemicist, and UbuWeb.
He further asserts that the Malcolm X story was a hoax and that Malcolm X was a CIA actor, and that Poetry magazine has been a CIA front since its inception, referencing his work on Hemingway and Pound. Mathis also claims Situationist International has always been a CIA front. He criticizes Whitney Webb of Unlimited Hangout for being hesitant to question events like 11, contrasting her approach with his own. He identifies Riley Waggaman of RT (which he calls a CIA spin-off of Radio Free Europe) and Matthew Ehret (associated with American University in Moscow, which he claims was founded by George H. Bush and Robert Krieble) as controlled opposition. Finally, Mathis analyzes an article by Edward Curtin on OffGuardian, stating that Curtin’s claims about biden and Russia are propaganda designed to distract from a “vaccine genocide” and the acceleration of tyranny, and that such tactics are a form of gaslighting.
