The United States of Delusion
If I stared into your eyes and insisted the Rocky Mountains were a figment of imagination, you’d likely think I’d lost my mind.
Yet, given enough time, I could persuade you otherwise.
There’d be no need for intimidation or coercion. A solid debate wouldn’t even be necessary.
All I’d require is persistent, assured repetition—the kind that comes from trusted sources you already listen to.
Imagine living on Colorado’s eastern plains with vast, flat land stretching out under a seemingly empty sky.
You have responsibilities—a job, family, and daily duties. Driving hours west just to verify the existence of a mountain range isn’t a priority.
You quietly absorb the falsehoods without challenging them.
Eventually, you do more than accept the narrative; you fiercely defend it.
Your sense of self becomes intertwined with believing the world is exactly as you were told.
Questioning that belief feels like a direct assault on your identity.
Then one day, you venture a bit farther and suddenly there it is: the monumental Rockies, standing firm as they always have.
Instead of wondering, “Why was I deceived?” your reaction is anger.
Who put these mountains here? This upheaval disrupts everything! Who’s accountable?
Others like you begin insisting the fault lies not with the falsehood but with the mountains themselves.
The Rockies haven’t changed—only your grasp on reality has shifted.
This illustrates how genuine manipulation functions.
It doesn’t control your behavior directly, but instead alters the perspective through which you perceive the world. So when reality finally emerges, you view reality as the adversary.
That is precisely the predicament America faces today.
The Mountains in Plain Sight
The same mental manipulation is being inflicted on the nation as a whole.
For years, people have been reassured that certain issues don’t exist, that the “mountains” rising in our societal landscape are mere illusions.
You know the familiar assertions: the border isn’t a free-for-all, crime rates are falling, failing schools aren’t a crisis, our urban centers are thriving. The country’s path is supposedly just fine.
Millions accept these statements not because they’ve investigated them personally, but because these ideas are echoed consistently by institutions once deemed trustworthy.
When undeniable facts surface, their response isn’t to reconsider but to lash out in anger.
This is Manufactured Mass Hysteria.
It stands as the greatest threat currently facing the United States…
Millions marching blindly into the shadow of mountains they’ve convinced themselves don’t exist.
This Is What Actually Breaks a Country
I’m publishing a book on this very phenomenon titled Manufacturing Delusion. I’ll explain more shortly, but the essence is straightforward:
Americans can endure adversity. We cannot endure widespread madness.
This nation has weathered world wars, economic collapses, political unrest, and cultural shifts. We adapted and rebuilt each time.
Tough times are not new for us. Yet collective irrationality will fracture us as a nation.
Regrettably, that is the place left-wing politics has led us. We stand at a perilous crossroads where mass delusion has become a deliberate tool for mobilization.
They induce madness… intentionally.
Authoritarian regimes have employed these tactics for over a century. The science of mind control has been studied, honed, and applied globally.
Propaganda, psychological conditioning, and censorship follow recognizable patterns.
Once you grasp these patterns, you begin spotting them everywhere.
My book breaks down the mechanics of manipulation, its scientific underpinnings, the motivations fueling it, and why it’s rampant today.
This isn’t merely theoretical; the fallout is happening right now.
The toll of this orchestrated madness is rising, and the nation is feeling the strain.
How the Conditioning Nearly Killed a President
The consequences of manufactured delusion are visible in current events.
Consider recent developments.
The nation has known that a young man attempted to assassinate President Trump in July 2024; this was public knowledge for over a year.
Only now has the attacker’s full profile emerged.
It fits precisely the kind of psychological unraveling fostered by modern destabilization tactics…
A self-identified “they/them,” furry-enthusiast, left-wing tranTIFA extremist.
A figure whose online identity is a patchwork of ideological confusion, unstable identity, and fury fueled by years of propaganda.
This individual wasn’t an isolated basement troll…
He was shaped deliberately by the emotional machinery engineered by the modern left.
He came dangerously close to assassinating a president and ruining a U.S. election.
Inches away.
We almost experienced a national tragedy that would have thrown the country into chaos.
We’re still mourning the brutal assassination of Charlie Kirk — the nation’s foremost conservative activist.
In just over a year, the American right nearly lost both its key grassroots strategist and its most influential political figure.
Such violence is never accidental.
It is the product of years of cultivated madness.
I saw the buildup before most did. While I can’t share every detail, anyone paying attention sensed the mounting tension.
That’s why I wrote Manufacturing Delusion… to reveal how a society reaches this state—saturated with hysteria and individuals pushed to their limits by destabilizing narratives.
This is the consequence of widespread psychological manipulation.
Trump Derangement Syndrome
This week, Fox News featured psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert discussing exactly this issue.
You know how Money & Power approaches such matters—we avoid gimmicks. But Alpert’s observations are shocking.
He states roughly 75% of his patients are obsessively focused on Donald Trump.
They suffer sleeplessness, restlessness—in fact, they’re traumatized by President Trump.
One patient told him she couldn’t enjoy her vacation because seeing Trump in the media triggered her distress.
Alpert calls it a deep psychological disorder. He’s right. It’s the dominant mental illness of our era.
Trump Derangement Syndrome represents a mass psychosis created using similar methods seen in authoritarian states like communist China, North Korea, or the former U.S.S.R.
This is the terrain my book covers—and the evidence is obvious…
People aren’t simply against Trump; they’re obsessively fixated.
They internalize propaganda until it defines them and then reject reality with the fervor of cult followers.
Beware the Anxiety Machine
Trump Derangement Syndrome is only one symptom of a broader psychological collapse happening now. The same conditioning that fuels Trump obsession appears widely elsewhere on the left.
Start with the basics…
The persistent falsehoods about men becoming women. That’s merely the starting point—step one in a larger process.
Force people to deny what’s clear, have them repeat that denial, and eventually they accept contradictions without question.
Consider climate panic.
Adults—not children or teenagers—lose sleep convinced climate change will wipe out humanity.
This is documented among the left. But think about what it means…
Some refuse to have children due to the mind-altering effect of left-wing propaganda.
Some sincerely believe there’s a “genocide” targeting trans people simply because a 200-pound bearded man isn’t allowed to compete in girls’ sports.
What used to be fringe is now mainstream left-wing ideology.
And naturally, COVID fits into this as well: Fauci-ism wasn’t only about health.
It was Pavlovian social conditioning.
The method is straightforward: generate a stimulus, attach an emotional response, repeat until reaction becomes automatic and bypasses reason.
That’s why anti-Trump hysteria today plays as absurdity on endless repeat.
- The Russia-collusion hoax
- The ceaseless prosecutions
- The Epstein insinuations
- The relentless, organized falsehoods
For those grounded in reality—like you and me—we haven’t surrendered our minds. You’re part of Money & Power because you still trust your senses and instincts.
But consider this:
How many people you know—especially in solidly blue states who voted for Kamala Harris—Believe outright impossibilities?
How many recycle talking points that defy logic?
How many respond with fury when the narrative is questioned?
How many act like they belong to a cult?
That’s the effect when a political movement trains millions to abandon critical thinking and react emotionally on command.
Recognizing the Pattern
Once you see what’s unfolding, the pattern is impossible to ignore.
Manufactured delusion doesn’t depend on convincing people with facts. It relies on a method you see everywhere attempts to control how people think, not just what they think.
It begins with constant emotional strain: fear, anger, shame, moral panic. Keeping people in a heightened crisis weakens their rational defenses.
Next comes isolation—not necessarily physical, but removing exposure to truthful dissent.
Then, certain narratives are elevated to sacred status. Good people accept [fill in with leftist dogma]. Doubters are labeled bad.
Doubt is punished. Formal arrests aren’t needed; skepticism becomes socially costly, prompting self-censorship before official suppression.
When a person believes the sky is yellow instead of blue, manipulators can reshape their entire view from the inside out.
Winning debates isn’t the goal; reinforcing the narrative repeatedly is.
That’s how you convince someone there’s no mountain and have them defend that lie even when standing at its base.
You can tell them men become women and see questioning that framed as a moral crime.
You can claim the climate will doom humanity in a decade, and people reorganize their lives around that myth.
If you don’t understand how this surreal disconnect emerges, you can’t protect yourself or others from the same trap.
The Fight for Your Perception
All of this follows a clear, recognizable sequence. I noticed this pattern years ago because I observed it firsthand.
Within the intelligence community, you quickly learn how fragile collective perception is.
You see how easily narratives can be crafted, populations directed, and how dangerous it is when those shaping stories cease valuing the truth.
I’ve witnessed the downfall of nations whose citizens lose the ability to tell reality from engineered emotions.
It never ends well. And for the first time in my lifetime, I’m watching that unraveling happen right here in the United States.
Hence, I wrote Manufacturing Delusion both as a warning and a guide.
It took two years to complete—partly because I had to navigate the clearance process required for former intelligence officers.
I reveal details never made public before, ensuring careful handling of sensitive information.
The insights you’ll find in my book aren’t available anywhere else.
We now live in a nation where millions are conditioned to doubt what they can plainly see. They don’t reach this state alone—they are systematically guided, pushed, and conditioned towards it.
If you want to understand how this occurs, why it works, and how to defend yourself from it, this book is precisely what you need.
Manufacturing Delusion will be released on February 17, 2026.
And to be clear… preorders are crucial.
They determine the book’s distribution, the seriousness with which publishers and retailers treat its message, and its reach as the nation faces its most volatile political period.
If you want this knowledge in the hands of those who need it—and want to secure your copy upon release—click this link to preorder.
This is when clear vision becomes essential for survival.
Because once you learn how delusion is constructed, something vital happens…
No one can ever convince you the Rockies aren’t real.
You might be standing on flat plains, but you’ll recognize exactly what’s on the horizon.
And you’ll never mistake a fabricated story for the actual landscape right before your eyes.
