Risky posting - Persuasion and Brainwashing Techniques Being Used On The Public Today
I think this is a risky post for me because I don't IN ANY WAY want y'all to think that I'm a mole from the R/T forum. A basic tenant of my own moral code is to respect others' spirituality.

However my life experience makes me feel that open eyes and open minds are more difficult to delude and so I bring you This Random Guy on the Internet, who is just about as credible as any other random guy evangelizing whatever point of view they're beholden to.

I hope this increases our awareness.

This Random Guy starts off bashing organized religion with particular zeal (which I try to understand and forgive) but then moves on to other methods used both over public airwaves and in person with subliminal cues or interesting equipment.

I used to have this tagline, "magic is just math you don't understand" and I turned it off because I didn't want to offend people by suggesting they're (as) bad at math (as I am). I'm reminded of that maxim more and more, especially as I read more about behavior modification methods and brain function.

For example, I secretly suspect that we were all under a weird spell at 9/11 -- lulled into submission beforehand, and then shocked into compliance afterwards. Who knows, I sure don't. But reading the brainwashing article's description of the effects ELF had on test subjects deepens my suspicion that I may be right.

There's another thread in this forum that prompted me to post this article (which I had better do so I can get back to work) about weird anxiety... it may not just be planetary alignments...

2. Facinating.... I could only think about this information in two ways.
 One is that this certainly does match the way our police and Judicial system is set up. The second being that, I'm so glad that T.V. is limited in my household.

7. I have been aware of this...
 Interesting story .... my pastor is a registered hypnotherapist. We had a viewing of a movie on the environment last fall at our church that she greatly objected to because of the hypnotic techniques used in the film - whether intentionally or not. Many, including me, felt after viewing the film that it was too late to address our environmental crisis, that we were well beyond the point of any good ever coming from any actions, that we were in essence doomed to watch our planet die a very terrible death along with everyone we know. Happy little flick.

Always good to know our vulnerability and to understand at all times that we have choices on what we believe and how we respond to information.

Thanks for posting.

9. Re: subliminal persuasion.
 Hi, crickett. NO I don't believe this is a 'taboo' or risqué subject. It needs to be brought up, and in more places than just our little corner here at the DU.

I believe the US public is being subjected to a variety of techniques, to coerce them to buy, or purchase, or believe, or whatever their agenda might be.
As if ads aren't bad enough, there is proof that even within programs, people have discovered that in-between the flickering frames, there are subliminal messages like 1/50th of a second, which exhort the viewer to "buy this" or "you need this" they have used all kinds of techniques.

TV - sinister.
We got rid of our TV back in 2001. It wasn't because of this reason, but because I couldn't look at Bush's face any longer. It was just too much for me.
Our lives have improved I now have all kinds of time....to blog!!
TV - an addictive quality.
Seriously, you can almost tell which people are addicted to TV. Over time, they become lethargic, more passive. I believe that TV is the biggest venue for subliminal stuff, hypnotism and all kinds of bad stuff.

Too effective.
I also believe the subliminal stuff has been SO successful, SO persuasive that you have a country at risk. You have a weakened population which has been fooled for decades. They will gladly part with their hard-earned money, just Cuz the Ad told me so. These are extremely smart people; you have PhD's who specialize in how to motivate people, even colours, cues, shame & guilt coercion they've spent millions and done tons of studies on how to motivate the Sheep. This also includes political messages; as well as fear mongering.

What's the solution?
Actually, we are already looking at the solution to the problem. The end is in sight. The American public is currently broke, they've been looted and there's no more dough to shake out of the poor bloke. ONLY when people are desperate, when the whole system is broken, THEN they will start to look elsewhere for an answer.
We are at that Golden Moment.

I noticed another government hypnotrick.  I have Crown Royal bags filled with change (the monetary sort - not the Magic Negro kind).  I was sorting those bags yesterday when, after a while, I realized I could not tell a quarter from a nickel anymore. 

Spooky, huh?

Well it helps if you empty the Crown Royal bags a long time after emptying the bottles.
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.

That's what happens to anyone talking sense, or any non-Maoist on DU.

If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

Time to get the eyes checked?

The socialists that invaded the NEA started doing that before the turn of the last Century.  :thatsright:
