Within hours of being identified as the assassin of a UnitedHealthcare CEO, 26-year-old Luigi Mangione gained hundreds of thousands of followers and was catapulted into fame by a fandom who believes that his murder of a father was justified violence – akin to a modern guillotine in the hands of the oppressed.

Mattias Desmet, renowned worldwide as the leading expert on ‘mass formation’ and the madness of crowd behavior, joins psychiatrist Dr. Aaron Kheriaty to examine the shocking public support for a suspected murderer and why people react differently to a crime if it’s supported by a crowd who believes they are oppressed – even when their hero turns out to be an Ivy League heir to a multimillion dollar fortune who doesn’t follow gun control laws.

Mattias Desmet is professor of psychology at the University of Ghent in Belgium and author of The Psychology of Totalitarianism. Desmet is the author of over one hundred peer-reviewed academic papers. In 2018 he received the Evidence-Based Psychoanalytic Case Study Prize of the Association for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, and in 2019 he received the Wim Trijsburg Prize of the Dutch Association of Psychotherapy.

Justine Bateman is not a fan of generative AI like Sora. The actor / director says GAI tech is simply the latest algorithmically-driven nail in Hollywood’s coffin of content – but something else will be born from its ashes.

“… audiences will eventually feel sick about watching AI, and about all the ways in which AI will have infiltrated their lives, their job, their kids’ education, their grocery store, their insurance, etc., and they will begin to reject it wholesale,” Bateman writes in Fast Company. “Audiences will then not only reject films made with GAI but reject films that even look like they were made with GAI. They will want something real, raw, and obviously human.”

Justine Bateman is an actor, director, author, and founder of the Credo23 Film Festival. She starred as Mallory Keaton in Family Ties and appeared in Desperate Housewives and Californication. Her directorial debut Violet, starring Olivia Munn, premiered at SXSW 2021. She authored bestsellers Fame: The Hijacking of Reality and Face: One Square Foot of Skin. Bateman serves on SAG-AFTRA’s AI negotiation committee. Find more at https://credo23filmfest.com and follow her at https://x.com/justinebateman

After pardoning his son Hunter Biden, it’s been rumored that President Biden is now considering a pardon of Dr. Anthony Fauci. Would receiving a Presidential pardon be an admission that Dr. Fauci committed crimes – and could immunity prompt the former NIH director to finally tell the whole truth about the pandemic?

Emmy-winning journalist Alison Morrow was fired by Washington state authorities after she defied their orders to censor an interview with Dr. Aaron Kheriaty – an act he calls “a clear violation by a government employer of an employee’s First Amendment free speech rights.”

Reclaim The Net reports that with the “Silent Majority Foundation, Morrow has filed a lawsuit against the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and its top officials, citing wrongful termination.”

“I was told I could never interview Dr Kheriaty (or anyone with ideas like his) ever again if I wanted to keep my job… when I refused, I was fired,” writes Alison. “And I would do it all over again.”

In 2020, Utah mom & former teacher Brianne Dressen wanted to help her community through the pandemic, so she joined a clinical trial of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine – one of the first in the USA. But afterward, she says she developed such severe side effects, she began planning her own suicide to escape the “constant agony.”

Within hours of beginning the trial, Brianne experienced adverse reactions including “blurred vision, a headache, ringing ears and vomiting” that worsened and required multiple hospitalizations. Now grappling with enormous medical expenses, Dressen is suing the pharma giant after it allegedly offered her a single payment of $1,243.30 in compensation despite her medical costs exceeding $400,000.

Brianne’s case is covered in the upcoming book “Worth a Shot?: Secrets of the Clinical Trial Participant Who Inspired a Global Movement” available at https://amzn.to/4eEyykA
