Mind control (also known as brainwashing, coercive persuasion, mind abuse, menticide,
thought control, or thought reform) refers to a process in which a group or individual
"systematically uses unethically manipulative methods to persuade others to conform to the
wishes of the manipulator(s), often to the detriment of the person being manipulated".

Censorship
How To Detect Bias In News Media

American media elites practice a brutal, albeit well-concealed, form of "wartime" news
censorship, but the mechanisms of this control are now openly acknowledged. John
Chancellor, the longtime NBC-TV news anchorman, in his recent autobiographical account of

2/23
life in the news room, The New News Business (with Walter R. Mears, New York:
HarperPerennial, 1995), admitted that, through formal structures such as the Associated
Press, informal "clubs" such as the New York Council on Foreign Relations, and the Sun
Valley clique, decisions are made, on a daily or weekly basis, about what the American
people will be told, and what stories will never see the light of day. (The Cartelization of the
News Industry) [1]

Propaganda
There is no opinion, however absurd, which men will not readily embrace as soon as they
can be brought to the conviction that it is generally adopted. Arthur Schopenhauer, Die Kunst
Recht zu Behalten

"The great masses of people will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one.
Especially if it is repeated again and again." -- Adolf Hitler

All propaganda must be so popular and on such an intellectual level, that even the most
stupid of those toward whom it is directed will understand it... Through clever and constant

3/23
application of propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as hell, and also the other
way around, to consider the most wretched sort of life as paradise. -- Adolf Hitler [3]

"It would not be impossible to prove, with sufficient repetition and psychological
understanding of the people concerned, that a square is, in fact, a circle." - Propaganda
Minister Joseph Goebbels Nazi German [4]

Creating "Public Opinion": The "Authoritarian Personality"

8/23
The efforts of the Radio Project conspirators to manipulate the
population, spawned the modern pseudoscience of public
opinion - polling, in order to gain greater control over the
methods they were developing. Today, public opinion polls, like the
television news, have been completely integrated into our society. A
"scientific survey" of what people are said to think about an issue can
be produced in less than twenty-four hours. Some campaigns for high
political office are completely shaped by polls; in fact, many politicians
try to create issues which are themselves meaningless, but which they
know will look good in the polls, purely for the purpose of enhancing
their image as "popular." Important policy decisions are made, even
before the actual vote of the citizenry or the legislature, by poll results.
Newspapers will occasionally write pious editorials calling on people
to think for themselves, even as the newspaper's business agent
sends a check to the local polling organization. The idea of "public
opinion" is not new, of course. Plato spoke against it in his Republic
over two millenia ago; Alexis de Tocqueville wrote at length of its
influence over America in the early nineteenth century. But, nobody
thought to measure public opinion before the twentieth century, and
nobody before the 1930's thought to use those measurements for
decision-making. It is useful to pause and reflect on the whole
concept. The belief that public opinion can be a determinant of truth is
philosophically insane. It precludes the idea of the rational individual
mind. Every individual mind contains the divine spark of reason, and is
thus capable of scientific discovery, and understanding the discoveries
of others. The individual mind is one of the few things that cannot,
therefore, be "averaged." Consider: at the moment of creative
discovery, it is possible, if not probable, that the scientist making the
discovery is the only person to hold that opinion about nature,
whereas everyone else has a different opinion, or no opinion. One can
only imagine what a "scientifically-conducted survey" on Kepler's
model of the solar system would have been, shortly after he published
the Harmony of the World: 2% for, 48% against, 50% no opinion.
These psychoanalytic survey techniques became standard, not
only for the Frankfurt School, but also throughout American
social science departments, particularly after the I.S.R. arrived in
the United States. The methodology was the basis of the
research piece for which the Frankfurt School is most well
known, the "authoritarian personality" project. In 1942, I.S.R.
director Max Horkheimer made contact with the American Jewish
Committee, which asked him to set up a Department of Scientific
Research within its organization. The American Jewish Committee

9/23
also provided a large grant to study anti-Semitism in the American
population. "Our aim," wrote Horkheimer in the introduction to the
study, "is not merely to describe prejudice, but to explain it in order to
help in its eradication.... Eradication means reeducation scientifically
planned on the basis of understanding scientifically arrived at." [8]

John Swinton
In 1953, in a toast before the New York Press Club, John Swinton, former Chief of
Staff of the New York Times and the "Dean of his Profession" stated: (part
extracted)
"If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before
twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone. The business of journalists
is to destroy the truth; to pervert; to vilify; to fawn at the feet of mammon,
and to sell this country and this race for their daily bread. We are the tools
and vessels for rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they
pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are
all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes." [10]

Psychological Warfare
Psychological Warfare (PSYWAR), or the basic aspects of modern psychological operations
(PSYOP), have been known by many other names or terms, including Psy Ops, Political
Warfare, “Hearts and Minds”, and Propaganda.[1] Various techniques are used, by any set of
groups, and aimed to influence a target audience's value systems, belief systems, emotions,
motives, reasoning, or behavior. It is used to induce confessions or reinforce attitudes and
behaviors favorable to the originator's objectives, and are sometimes combined with black
operations or false flag tactics. Target audiences can be governments, organizations, groups,
and individuals.

Hypnosis
A presumed altered state of consciousness in which the hypnotized individual is usually
more susceptible to suggestion than in his or her normal state. In this context, a suggestion
is understood to be an idea or a communication carrying an idea that elicits a covert or overt
response not mediated by the higher critical faculties (this is, the volitional apparatus). [12]

Consciousness: Alpha state

"It is a proven fact that when we are watching television our brain goes into a
state of lowered alertness. What are alpha-waves? Alpha-waves are oscillating
electrical voltages in the brain. They oscillate in the range of 7.5-13 cycles per second
and occur in relaxed states such as meditation and under hypnosis. Usually the brain
shows alpha wave patterns when we are very relaxed and passive. Such brain activity
is observed naturally before one falls asleep or immediately after awakening. Resting
and day dreaming are activities that can cause this alpha-wave pattern also, but after
resting or day dreaming the brain returns to full alertness (beta-waves)." [13]

Hypnosis as used to promote sexually illegal and immoral acts: Hypnotists will tell
you that a hypnotized person will not do anything under hypnosis that they would not
do in a conscious state of mind. That is a lie! All of us have a consciousness that
serves as a filter for moral conduct and when you put that filter to sleep, such as
what occurs under hypnosis, you have essentially bypassed the psyche part of
the mind that uses critical judgement and is essential and vital to living a moral
life. [14]

Neuro-linguistic programming

13/23
video: "Obama Clearly Using Covert Hypnosis Methods"
"Is Barack Obama a brilliant orator, captivating millions through his eloquence?
Or is he deliberately using the techniques of neurolinguistic programming (NLP),
a covert form of hypnosis developed by Milton H. Erickson, M.D.? A
fundamental tool of "conversational hypnosis" is pacing and leading - a
way for the hypnotist to bypass the listeners critical faculty by associating
repeated statements that are unquestionably accurate with the message he
wants to convey. In his Denver acceptance speech, Obama used the phrases
"thats why I stand here tonight," "now is the time," and "this moment" 14 times.
Paces are connected to the lead by words such as "and," "as," "because," or "that
is why." For example, "we need change" (who could disagree?)"and that is why I
will be your next President." Techniques of trance induction include extra slow
speech, rhythm, tonalities, vagueness, visual imagery, metaphor, and raising of
emotion. Hypnotists often have patients count. In a speech after the primaries
closed, Obama said: "Sixteen months have passed (paused) "Thousands"
(pause) "of miles" (pause) "Millions of voices". Hypnotists call this a distraction
technique: sending the dominant hemisphere on an assignment involving
linguistic processes, thus opening the non-dominant hemisphere to
suggestion."

Subliminal programming
Subliminal perception is a deliberate process created by communication technicians,
whereby you receive and respond to information and instructions without being
aware of it. Messages in the form of printed words, pictures or voices presented either
very rapidly or very obscurely bypass your conscious awareness. Anything consciously
perceived can be evaluated, criticized, discussed, argued, and possibly rejected.
Anything programmed subliminally to your subconsciousness meets no
resistance. This subliminal information is stored in your brain and capable of
influencing your judgment, behavior and attitudes.

Salience
Professor Hugh Rank of Governors State University proposes an “intensification/downplay”
schema to analyse methods of political communication and persuasion in his website How to
Analyse Political Rhetoric. Intensifying involves the techniques of repetition, association and
composition, while downplay involves omission, diversion and confusion. [16]

See also: Rhetoric Analysis

Intensification

Repetition

Repetition is effective because people feel comfortable with what they are familiar with,
and repetition creates familiarity. Most people have favourite songs, television
programs, etc., that they listen to or watch repeatedly. Chants, prayers, rituals, and
dances are all based on repeated patterns; we learn them and remember them through
repetition. Politicians often repeat key words or themes throughout a speech, and also
use internal repetition techniques such as rhyme, alliteration and anaphora (repetition
of the same word or group of words at the beginning of successive clauses or
sentences). Slogans are another repetition device used by politicians in the hopes that,
like in advertising, audiences hearing a message many times will become saturated
and remember the message without conscious effort.

Association

15/23
Association is the process of linking an idea or product with other ideas, events or
products which the audience either likes and respects, or hates and fears, depending
on the aim of the association. Politicians may use association by directly asserting, for
example, their connection with certain groups and communities with which the
audience identifies or respects. They may also use indirect language to establish
associations, for example, metaphors or allusions. Association may be established with
images, music, colours, flags, choice of location and timing for a speech, etc., as well
as words. Association may take the form of literary, historical or religious references or
allusions.

Composition

The way a presentation is composed can be used as a technique of intensifying. The

type of language used (negative or positive, active or passive constructions, simple or
abstract, etc.), the level of detail, the use of absolutes (all, always, never, etc.) and
qualifiers (perhaps, some, a number of, maybe, etc.), metaphors, rhetorical questions,
exaggerations, the order of presentation and the overall organisation of a speech can
all be used to emphasise certain ideas or themes. Non-verbal elements can also
contribute to composition: facial expression, gestures, tone of voice, etc. also play a
role.

Downplaying

Omission

All communication involves decisions about what information to include and what to
omit and therefore is limited, slanted or biased in one way or another. However,
politicians often choose to deliberately omit information about disadvantages, hazards
or side-effects of their proposals. What US politician, proposing military action in
another country has reminded the US population that his proposed action is likely to
result in the deaths of a certain number of soldiers not through enemy attacks, but from
“friendly fire”? Politicians can also be expected to omit information about any criminal
or scandalous activities of their own or their associates in the past, as well as
information about their own mistakes or failures. Conflicts of interest may be covered-
up and information about the source of controversial information may be omitted also.
Finally, information about the opposition’s good points is likely to be omitted. Subtle
forms of omission include quotes taken out of context and half-truths, and can be hard
to detect.

Diversion

16/23
Diversion techniques distract focus or divert attention away from key issues, usually by
intensifying unrelated issues, or trivial factors. Diversion techniques include attacks on
the personality and past of opposition figures rather than their relevant policies,
appealing to the emotions – fears, hopes, desires – of the public rather than their
reason, directing attention to the short-comings of the opposition rather than to one’s
own weaknesses, evasion of difficult topics, emphasis on superficialities or details
rather than substance, and finally, jokes or other entertainment to distract attention.

Confusion

Politicians sometimes make their presentations so complex and chaotic that those
listening get tired or overloaded, and give up on trying to follow. Confusion, whether
caused by accidental error or deliberate deception, can hide or obscure important
issues. Politicians may seek to confuse their audience by using unfamiliar or
ambiguous words, technical jargon, euphemisms, round-about or rambling sentence
construction, inappropriate or unclear analogies, non-logical sequences of thought or
linking of ideas, manipulation of statistics, over complexity, information overload, etc.
After introducing confusion, the politician is in the position to offer an easy answer, a
simple solution to complex problems, telling the audience: “trust me”.

Dumbing down

Media: Keep the adult public attention diverted away from

the real social issues, and captivated by matters of no real
importance.

Oversimplification

This is achieved by:

Disengaging their minds: sabotaging their mental activities; providing a low-quality

program of public education in mathematics, logic, systems design and economics; and
discouraging technical creativity. Ensure that the public is unable to understand the
technologies and methods for its control and slavery. "The quality of education for the lower
classes must be of the poorest sort, so that the gap of ignorance isolating the inferior class of
upper class is and remains incomprehensible to the lower classes."

video: The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America - Charlotte Iserbyt

Engaging their emotions: Appealing to emotion is a technique to bypass rational analysis,

and therefore the critical individuals. In addition, the use of emotional can open the door to
the subconscious mind to implement ideas, desires, fears, impulses, or behavior. Increasing
their self-indulgence and their indulgence in emotional and physical activities, by unrelenting
emotional affrontations and attacks (mental and emotional rape) by way of constant barrage
of sex, violence, and wars in the media - especially the TV and the newspapers.

Addressing the public as young childrens: Most advertisements for the general public-
use speeches, arguments, characters, and tone particularly infantile, often close to the
debilitating, as if the audience was a young child or mentally handicapped.

18/23
Newspeak = Basic English
At the start of World War II, Tavistock operatives, including Brig. Gen. John
Rawlings Rees in the Psychological Warfare Directorate, were busy at work on a
secret language project. The target of that project was not the ``enemy``, but the
English language itself, and the English-speaking people. The Tavistock crowd
had picked up on the work of British linguist C.K. Ogden , who had created a
simplified version of the English language using some 850 basic words (650
nouns and 200 verbs), with rigid rules for their use. Called "Basic English" or
"Basic" for short, the product was ridiculed by most English-speaking
intellectuals; Ogden's proposal to translate Classic literature, such as Marlowe
and Shakespeare, into Basic, was rightfully attacked as an effort to trivialize the
greatest expressions of English-language culture. But in the bowels of the psywar
directorate, the concepts behind Basic were key to large-scale control of
dangerous "thought". A simplified English language limits the degrees of
freedom of expression, and inhibits the transmission of meaning through
metaphor. (For a more detailed discussion of language and metaphor, see
Lyndon LaRouche, ``On the Subject of Metaphor, Fidelio, Fall 1992. It is then
easy to create a ``reality that can be shaped through the mass media, such as
radio. A reduced language is a straitjacket for the human mind. [17]

especially 'lower-class' young males.

Encourage the public to criminal behaviour

"...He explained that the companies we work for had invested millions into the building
of privately owned prisons and that our positions of influence in the music industry
would actually impact the profitability of these investments. I remember many of us in
the group immediately looking at each other in confusion. At the time, I didn’t know
what a private prison was but I wasn't the only one. Sure enough, someone asked what
these prisons were and what any of this had to do with us. We were told that these
prisons were built by privately owned companies who received funding from the
government based on the number of inmates. The more inmates, the more money the
government would pay these prisons. It was also made clear to us that since these
prisons are privately owned, as they become publicly traded, we’d be able to buy
shares. Most of us were taken back by this. Again, a couple of people asked what this
had to do with us. At this point, my industry colleague who had first opened the meeting
took the floor again and answered our questions. He told us that since our employers
had become silent investors in this prison business, it was now in their interest to make
sure that these prisons remained filled. Our job would be to help make this happen
by marketing music which promotes criminal behavior, rap being the music of
choice. He assured us that this would be a great situation for us because rap music
was becoming an increasingly profitable market for our companies, and as employee,
we’d also be able to buy personal stocks in these prisons." [22]

Make the individual believe he is solely responsible for his misfortune, because of the
lack of his intelligence, his capabilities, or his efforts. Thus, instead of revolting against
the economic system, the individual blames himself, resulting in a depression, one of
whose effects is inhibition of the action. And without action, no revolution ...

Desensitization

Desensitization By Repetition And Exposure

6 Stage Attitudinal Change Process
Stage 1: An idea, belief or practice, which is so offensive to prevailing
morality that it is scarcely discussed in public, is advocated by an "expert" or
"respected" social commentator in a prestigious forum or an influential
"talking head" utters it on TV.
Stage 2: Initially, the public is shocked if not outraged that such a taboo
subject is publicly raised.
Stage 3: This moral outrage itself becomes the subject of the "debate."
Stage 4: In the process of the public "debate," of dissection and repetition
of the once shocking subject matter by "experts" and "talking heads," a
gradual dulling effect occurs on public consciousness and morality and the
once taboo subject slowly becomes more acceptable.
Stage 5: The majority of people are no longer shocked by the once taboo
subject.
Stage 6: The majority no longer outraged, "experts" and "talking heads"
begin to argue various positions from the moderate to the extreme; or, they
accept the basic premiss, arguing, instead, on the means to achieve it.

The report, covering 319 pages, was written by 14 new science scientists under the
supervision of Tavistock and 23 top controllers including B. F. Skinner, Margaret Mead,
Ervin Lazlo and Sir Geoffrey Vickers, a high-level British intelligence officer in MI6. It
will be recalled that his son-in-law, Sir Peter Vickers Hall, was a founding member of
the so-called conservative “Heritage Foundation.” Much of the 3000 pages of
“recommendations” given to the Reagan administration in January 1981 were based
upon material taken from Willis Harmon’s “CHANGING IMAGES OF MAN.” I was
privileged to receive a copy of “THE CHANGING IMAGES OF MAN” from my
intelligence colleagues five days after it was accepted by the United States
government. What I read shocked me, as I realized I was looking at a blueprint for a
future America, unlike anything I had ever seen before. The nation was to be
programmed to change and become so accustomed to such planned changes
that it would hardly be noticeable when profound changes did occur. We have
gone downhill so fast since “THE AQUARIAN CONSPIRACY” (the book title of
Willis Harmon’s technical paper) was written, that today, divorce draws no
stigma, suicide is at an all time high and raises few eyebrows, social deviations
from the norm and sexual aberrations, once unmentionable in decent circles, are
now commonplace and excite no special protest. As a nation we have not noticed
how “CHANGING IMAGES OF MANKIND” has radically altered our American way of
life forever. Somehow we were overcome by the “Watergate Syndrome.” For a while we
were shocked and dismayed to learn that Nixon was nothing but a cheap crook who
hobnobbed with Earl Warren’s Mafia friends at the beautiful home they built for him
adjoining the Nixon estate. When too many “future shocks” and news headlines
demanded our attention, we lost our way, or rather, the huge number of choices with
which we were and still are daily confronted, confused us to such a degree that we
were no longer able to make the necessary choices. [24]
Example: ReligiousTolerance.org, an Ontario-based nonsectarian website that
collects and publishes survey data regarding religious trends of all kinds, says
that today, "Interest in new religious movements (e.g. New Age, Neopaganism) is
growing rapidly. In particular, Wiccans are doubling in numbers about every 30
months" ["Trends Among Christians in the U.S."]. The New Age movement is by
no means a dying influence. If anything, many New Age beliefs have simply
become so mainstream that they no longer seem as unconventional or as
spiritually menacing as they once did. Both the language and the ideology
of the New Age have gradually become so familiar in the culture of
American religion that evangelicals simply don't pay much attention to the
New Age anymore. The whole subject has the feel of yesterday's news. [25]
