We\u2019re not talking 130,000. This sounds like all the adults, almost \u2013 it\u2019s like [we&#8217;re] a nation of addicts!\u201dAs 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 \u201cnarratives\u201d as though they represented reality, said Kupelian.<\/p>\n<p>A \u201cnarrative,\u201d he said, is just \u201ca nice name for a \u2026 mass delusion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kupelian rattled off a few examples of present-day false media narratives:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wnd.com\/2015\/11\/muslim-student-idd-in-knife-attack-on-u-c-merced-campus\/\">\u201cFaisal Mohammad wasn\u2019t motivated by jihad.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wnd.com\/2015\/02\/my-hope-for-the-man-bruce-jenner\/\">\u201cBruce Jenner is a woman.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wnd.com\/2015\/05\/michael-brown-plaque-called-monument-to-lie\/\">Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, was a victim of racist police<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 even though it\u2019s proven that he was a predator,\u201d Kupelian added. \u201cHe was a punk on drugs who had just knocked off a convenience store and he tried to kill a cop, to grab his gun!\u201d But \u201cit doesn\u2019t matter\u201d to the left, said Kupelian. \u201cYou still hear about Ferguson and Michael Brown\u201d as though the mythical \u201cgentle giant\u201d was a victim of trigger-happy, racist cops.<\/p>\n<p>Another delusion-based narrative, said Kupelian, is that \u201cIslam is a religion of peace. I have to tell you,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wnd.com\/2014\/09\/how-my-family-survived-the-caliphate\/\">I have about 100 family members who were killed by jihadists during the Armenian Genocide,\u201d<\/a>\u00a0said Kupelian. \u201cIslam has not been a religion of peace for the last 14 centuries. And it doesn\u2019t show any signs of beginning now.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"ooyalaplayer-2\" class=\"ooyala-video-wrapper\"><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;Where is this all coming from?&#8221; Kupelian asked rhetorically.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We don\u2019t live in a vacuum. \u2026 I\u2019m saying we have a culture and a presidency in which basically we\u2019re 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!&#8221; He added, &#8220;There\u2019s a side of us that feels like this is liberation, but there\u2019s a price to pay. We\u2019re paying the price now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, American politics has become so unhinged, he said, it is hard for normal Americans to even process what is happening.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hillary Clinton should be in prison, he noted, adding, &#8220;We have this socialist who, God bless Donald Trump, he referred to Bernie Sanders as a &#8216;communist maniac.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He then told Sussman: &#8220;I defy your listeners to go to the CPUSA website, Communist Party USA [cpusa.org] \u2026 Tell me the difference between the communist \u2013 forget socialism, the\u00a0<i>Communist Party USA<\/i>\u00a0\u2013 and the Democrat Party. Everything [on the CPUSA site] is &#8216;war on women,&#8217; &#8216;racism,&#8217; all the same stuff&#8221; over which today&#8217;s Democrat Party obsesses, he said.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>In\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/superstore.wnd.com\/books\/The-Snapping-of-the-American-Mind?promocode=MSTORY\">&#8220;The Snapping of the American Mind,&#8221;<\/a>\u00a0said Kupelian, &#8220;I\u2019m connecting the dots between that big picture&#8221; of the Obama-left&#8217;s &#8220;fundamental transformation&#8221; of America &#8220;and the individual picture of the wretchedness and brokenness and pathology of the 130 million Americans that are dependent on [toxic] substances,&#8221; said Kupelian, who contends that leftist deception and intimidation &#8220;is actually driving good, unsuspecting Americans over the edge to depression, anger, mental illness, addiction, family breakdown \u2013 all the pathology and the wretchedness we see on the individual level which we don\u2019t really attach to politics so much.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sussman, who frequently guest-hosts for Michael Savage on &#8220;The Savage Nation&#8221; and is the author of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/superstore.wnd.com\/books\/books-by-subject\/Eco-Tyranny-How-the-Lefts-Green-Agenda-will-Dismantle-America-Hardcover?promocode=MSTORY\">&#8220;Eco-Tyranny: How the Left\u2019s Green Agenda Will Dismantle America,&#8221;<\/a>\u00a0agreed with Kupelian.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I hear that all the time!&#8221; he exclaimed.<\/p>\n<p>As a talk show host, Sussman said he must often guard his listeners from everything that\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If I just gave them the news of the day, people would be crashing their cars,&#8221; he joked. &#8220;Their minds are about to snap. &#8216;I can\u2019t take this anymore.&#8217; And I think you\u2019re nailing it with\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/superstore.wnd.com\/books\/The-Snapping-of-the-American-Mind?promocode=MSTORY\">this book.&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>But it can be hard to break away from an all-encompassing media culture. Misspeaking for a moment, Kupelian said, &#8220;Bruce Jenner is still a woman,&#8221; when he meant to say Jenner is still a man.<\/p>\n<p>Realizing his mistake, he laughed, &#8220;Oh no, they\u2019ve gotten to me!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sussman chortled, &#8220;It\u2019s gotten to you as well, your mind has snapped, David!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jokes aside, Kupelian\u2019s message is deadly serious. And for those who actually want to help troubled people, he has simple advice \u2013 stick to reality. He affirmed the biological impossibility of &#8220;sex change&#8221; \u2013 or to use today&#8217;s euphemism, &#8220;gender reassignment&#8221; \u2013 citing\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/paul-mchugh-transgender-surgery-isnt-the-solution-1402615120\/\">the finding<\/a>\u00a0of the former psychiatrist-in-chief at Johns Hopkins Hospital that changing genders is &#8220;biologically impossible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a controversial thing to say, especially in San Francisco,&#8221; Kupelian advised. &#8220;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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>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 \u2013 a common syndrome among anorexics \u2013 &#8220;we don\u2019t need to pretend she is fat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>How can a person cope with living in a world of false narratives and dreamlike illusions? Kupelian argues the solution is simple:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We need to wake up. We just need to wake up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He continued: &#8220;People tell me, &#8216;You know, this is a nightmare we\u2019re living in under Obama.&#8217; \u2026 It\u2019s true, but there\u2019s 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&#8221; that make us feel so comfortable in our dream world, he said.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, Sussman told his listeners, &#8220;I want to promote this book heavily. David, great book, and it&#8217;s flying off the shelves as I would expect.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'The Brainwashing of Americans by Bible and God Haters',url: 'https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/2015\/11\/12\/brainwashing-of-americans\/',contentID: 'post-7463',suggestTags: 'America,Americans,Liberalism,Progressivism,U.S.,United States',providerName: 'Hoshana Rabbah Blog',styling: 'text' });return false\" class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryLink\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.evernote.com\/article-clipper.png\" \nclass=\"evernoteSiteMemoryButton\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryClear\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From World Net Daily at\u00a0http:\/\/www.wnd.com\/2015\/11\/left-promoting-mass-delusion-says-journalist\/.
