A former white nationalist leader takes MDMA and becomes a better version of himself. But what does it actually do to make him a better person? Is this a good thing or is it a bad thing? Is it even a thing at all?

00:00:00.000 This next story reminds me of a few others where they dig up some obscure and insecure
00:00:04.880 individual who once shared some white nationalist views and they get them to recant for an article
00:00:10.100 claiming they were a white nationalist leader. Check this one out. How a dose of MDMA transformed
00:00:17.920 a white supremacist. MDMA is a drug also known as ecstasy. They call it the love drug,
00:00:25.300 but more on that later. Brendan was once a leader in the U.S. white nationalist movement,
00:00:31.020 but when he took the drug MDMA in a scientific study, it would radically change his extremist
00:00:37.000 beliefs to the surprise of everyone involved. So God, here we go. So this former white nationalist
00:00:43.820 leader volunteers to be in a drug study. Who does that? Not someone smart. He obviously had some
00:00:49.820 other issues going on. The article says Brendan had filled out a standard questionnaire at the
00:00:55.220 end of his ecstasy trip. At the very bottom of this form, he wrote,
00:00:58.940 this experience has helped me sort out a debilitating personal issue. Google my name.
00:01:04.480 I now know what I need to do. The researchers looked into it and were concerned he was going to go on a
00:01:10.640 mass shooting because he's a disgraced white supremacist who was doxed and fired a few years
00:01:16.300 ago. But hold on. He was part of Identity Europa, which as many of you know, contrary to the scary
00:01:22.280 news reports, was a club for European American young adults to honor their heritage and people.
00:01:28.100 No different than black, Asian, Mexican or Jewish clubs. They had a strict code of conduct. They
00:01:34.060 weren't skinheads. Now, everyone who has taken MDMA, ecstasy, known as the love drug, is laughing at
00:01:41.300 this entire article because they know how fake an e-trip is. It's all chemical. And once that love high is
00:01:48.480 over, you feel like crap. And if you do it enough, it will eat your soul. But maybe it's actually a
00:01:54.220 good thing, the BBC and friends say. After this guy took a dose of E, he told researchers,
00:01:59.840 love is the most important thing. Nothing matters without love. This is so cringe. And he sounds like
00:02:05.840 such a druggie, someone who just took a bunch of E. Love, love, love. Yeah, they really love white 0.99
00:02:11.880 people these days, don't they? Black on white crime, CRT, demographic replacement, blaming us for all 1.00
00:02:19.660 the world's problems, calling us white privileged. It's all because they love us. Pointing out how much
00:02:27.920 they don't love us is a protective instinct for survival. It is human nature. It is found in all
00:02:33.900 of nature. So for the experiment, he slid into an MRI and a researcher started tickling his forearm
00:02:40.900 with a brush and asked him to rate how pleasant it felt. I noticed it was making me happier,
00:02:48.300 the experience of the touch, Brendan recalled. I started progressively rating it as higher and
00:02:53.360 higher. As he relished in the pleasurable feeling, a single powerful word popped into his mind,
00:02:59.140 connection. He said while under the influence, we are all one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's ecstasy hitting
00:03:07.440 your pleasure center, bypassing all other natural instincts. It's fake, it's chemical, it's a drug.
00:03:13.400 Sure, we're all human, but we're not a unified one. Are we one when whites are the one group 1.00
00:03:18.420 singled out and attacked? So it turns out he was liberal in high school and says he got sucked into
00:03:23.360 white nationalism at university after joining a frat of Republicans. Then he began reading books and
00:03:31.940 supported Trump. That's when he really became a white nationalist. I mean, come on, this guy is a
00:03:36.600 sucker. He obviously felt the social pressure after being doxxed and after being at Seville.
00:03:42.000 And so he caved to the mob while under the influence of a drug, of a love drug, because he
00:03:46.500 couldn't take the pressure. Not because the mob is right, but because they're a mob. After his ecstasy
00:03:53.860 dose, he reached out to Chicago Anti-Fascist Action, who is helping him ideologically get educated,
00:04:01.400 re-educated by anti-white commies. That's what it really means. He also hired a diversity, equity and
00:04:07.940 inclusion consultant, man, to advise him and started working his way through a list of educational,
00:04:14.700 re-educational books. In other words, go anti-white and you'll be all right. Good white boy. Here, 0.98
00:04:21.120 take some more MDMA. He said he still has moments when he has racist or anti-Semitic thoughts. I bet you
00:04:26.740 do it. But now he recognizes that it only harms him. So I guess hate facts don't lead to a holocaust 0.63
00:04:32.680 now? What harms you, buddy, is pretending like the entire world is your friend, letting your guard
00:04:38.940 down. That's what MDMA does. Sure, I know it's been used in Germany as a truth serum in moderation to
00:04:44.840 help people face and work through traumatic experiences or PTSD. But when researchers are now
00:04:50.580 using it to change people's political views, the article continues, stories such as these are worth
00:04:57.200 examining for the implications they give about MDMA's potential ability to influence a person's
00:05:03.560 values and priorities. There you go. As DeWitt and several co-authors wrote in a case study they
00:05:09.100 published about Brendan in 2021 in the journal Biological Psychiatry. It reads, if extremist views
00:05:17.140 are fueled by fear, anger, and cognitive biases, for no real reasons, the researchers posed, might
00:05:23.820 these be targets of pharmacological intervention? See, it's always about views that aren't theirs.
00:05:30.400 Those are the people we need to drug and influence, right? Their side is never biased. They don't need
00:05:36.180 to reflect. They don't need to take drugs to go on some trip to do some internal soul searching. No.
00:05:41.400 By the way, it's not extremist to perceive real threats. This is human survival. In nature, a mama 0.99
00:05:47.920 bear protects herself and her cubs. I am a mama bear. When I see countless articles attacking all
00:05:54.040 white people for being the problem in the world and how it's better without kids that look like mine, 0.98
00:05:59.240 it's a threat. When they celebrate white people becoming replaced, it is a threat. Taking MDMA won't take 0.60
00:06:06.300 that away. Drugs can temporarily numb or trick people, but it ultimately won't mask the truth.
00:06:13.880 This trend of drugging people who have bad political views, white people, is going to escalate.
00:06:20.540 Another study in 2012 used all white volunteers to test their racial bias. They were given a beta
00:06:27.280 blocker, a heart drug, and asked to sort through pictures of black and white faces into categories along
00:06:32.980 with positive and negative words such as happy and sad. I mean, this is ridiculous. No other race is 1.00
00:06:38.880 tested like this. In another segment, they were asked to report how warm they felt towards certain
00:06:44.420 groups, including black people and Muslims. If you feel too warm to your race, white person,
00:06:50.500 and not warm enough to other races, we have to drug you more until you favor other people before your 0.97
00:06:55.880 own. They were given propranolol, a beta blocker that blocks activation in the nervous system
00:07:01.400 and in the area of the brain implicated in fear or emotional responses. It lowers your heart rate
00:07:06.860 and blocks adrenaline. Many use it for stage fright too. It stops you from going into fight or flight.
00:07:12.240 So in other words, it stops you from having a natural response, one that can help you identify
00:07:17.240 danger. I've taken it before. It makes you feel really flat. There's always a price to pay for trying
00:07:22.940 to cheat nature. So of course the test subjects didn't feel much while looking at dumb pictures of
00:07:27.920 Muslims or whatever. Like the sci-fi movies, future research is looking for that drug that 0.96
00:07:34.080 can control behavior, looking for the magic pill to subconsciously screw with you to get you to go
00:07:40.320 along with their agenda. Check out this one from May 2017 in the American Journal of Law and Medicine,
00:07:47.520 Pills for Prejudice, Technical Fix for Racism. There's a paragraph that reads,
00:07:53.140 as these researchers directly link racism to neurobiological substrates that can be modulated
00:07:59.120 through pharmaceutical interventions. They also render the workings of racism in a mechanistic
00:08:04.960 fashion as a series of neurobiological steps that can be disrupted by drugs. Well, can leftism be
00:08:11.480 disrupted by drugs? I'll never do those tests. We're heading for SOMA in the brave new world,
00:08:17.140 thought and mood regulation via drugs. It's no wonder though that hard drugs are becoming
00:08:22.460 legalized and psychedelics are going mainstream. They want you to be in this la-la drug haze.
00:08:28.680 We're all one. I feel so good. Just chill. Meanwhile, the world around you is turning into hell.
00:08:34.200 Well, check this out. Wealthy donors are fueling a psychedelics renaissance as universities vie for
00:08:40.760 funding to study magic mushrooms and MDMA. Why? Makes me think of the CIA's MKUltra project,
00:08:48.020 assessing the potential use of LSD and other drugs for mind control, information gathering,
00:08:54.120 and psychological torture. The CIA handed out drugs on uni campuses, remember? MKUltra still exists.
00:09:01.100 It's just mainstream culture now. Drugs are a large part of it. Today, universities are establishing
00:09:06.060 psychedelic centers to study compounds like psilocybin and MDMA. Cash from wealthy donors,
00:09:12.760 they say, is promising early results, which have helped make the research more mainstream.
00:09:18.560 Scientists want to see if psychedelics can treat depression and anxiety and help people quit smoking.
00:09:23.420 And you know, it's a lot more than just that. They want to see if they can change your values
00:09:27.980 and shape your political views. Look, I know our ancestors enjoyed a few magical mushrooms,
00:09:33.760 but they didn't have subversive forces like today trying to hijack their shamanic journey.
00:09:38.880 And I know early Silicon Valley guys microdosed mushrooms to kickstart ideas. Today, wealthy
00:09:45.120 liberal donors are funding universities to test psychedelics, not to help you stop smoking,
00:09:50.580 but because they want to toy with thought control.
