Coercive Psychological Systems

by SkewsMe.com

The study of Mind Control reveals that Jonathan Edwards discovered a method of affecting change during a religious crusade in 1735. World Newstand reports that by inducing guilt and acute apprehension and by increasing the tension, the "sinners" attending his revival meetings would break down and completely submit. Technically, what Edwards was doing was creating conditions that wipe the brain slate clean so that the mind accepts new programming. The problem was that the new input was negative.

F.A.C.T. uses "coercive psychological systems" as an umbrella term for all Mind Control including brainwashing, thought reform, destructive and coercive persuasion.

The simplest form of Mind Control may be propaganda, which comes in three flavors: white, or true facts, gray, and black, or blatant lies; the purpose of which is to change public opinion. George W. Bush's administration has been criticized for producing illegal propaganda in the form of fake news announcements in order to sell its federal programs.

Moving up in complexity, one finds peer pressure. Some people learn the skills of coercive and destructive persuasion at an early age and hone those skills to control friends, family and coworkers.

"Thought reform" is the Orwellian vision in which people are programmed to think alike for the prosperity of the State. Unbeknownst to Orwell, China was subjecting students to this "reeducation" process to adopt Communism. Thought reform creates people who blindly follow their leaders.

Robert Jay Lifton was an early brainwashing and Mind Control researcher. He used the term "thought reform" to include Assault on identity, Guilt, Self-betrayal, Breaking point, Leniency, The compulsion to confess, The channeling of guilt, Reeducation: logical dishonoring, Progress and harmony, and Final confession and rebirth.

One means of bringing thought reform is by "dumbing down" the population so it has less experience from which to draw. According to Literacy Volunteers of America, the 1992 National Adult Literacy Survey discovered that up to 51 percent of American adults lack a sufficient foundation of basic skills to function successfully in our society. Carl Sagan, whose television series "Cosmos" popularized science, warned that people must know the workings of science in order to be less easily manipulated. A 2002 Seattle Times article reported that the National Science Foundation discovered that only about a third of adults showed a good understanding of the scientific process.

Between dumbing down and "grade inflation", schools are producing young adults primed to follow orders rather than think critically. According to Alvin Toffler in his book "Future Shock", nothing could be better calculated to produce people uncertain of their goals, people incapable of effective decision-making under conditions of overchoice.

The term brainwashing came into vogue in September 1950 when Edward Hunter coined the term as a translation of hsi-nao meaning "to cleanse the mind" in an article on Communist Mind Control. Biderman's Chart of Coercion lists methods of Mind Control as isolation, monopolization of perception, induced debility and exhaustion, occasional indulgences, and devaluing of the individual.

Apart from describing the average workday, companies are also exploiting their power by secretly investing in their employees with so-called "peasant death" insurance. Companies including Disney and Wal-Mart have taken out tax exempt life insurance policies on their employees, most often without their consent, sometimes even illegally. Working someone to death has become highly profitable.

Repetition combined with rewards and punishments is the backbone of the behavioral sciences. Pavlov demonstrated how dogs would salivate at the ring of a bell. J.B. Watson repeated the experiment with human subjects. B.F. Skinner showed the military how pigeons could be trained to steer bombs. The 1970s provided countless experiments into the conditioning of children and adult alike.

Today's television programs like "Nanny 911" show the world what a little Mind Control is capable of in limited time. The children on these shows would most likely be required by schools to take medications like Ritalin, but in a few short days the behavior modification programs transform these tiny terrors into little angels.

Large doses of Ritalin and Sodium Pentathol are used in narcoanalysis. Ritalin is used to counteract the sedative hypnotic effects of the Sodium Pentathol. Sedatives made headlines in 1996 due to an increase in people slipping the so-called "date rape drugs" into victims' drinks. Using rape drugs is "almost like the perfect crime," according to prosecutor Dennis Nicewander, "because they don't have to worry about a witness testifying against them."

The CIA has been trying to control human behavior since WWII. In trying to expediate interrogations, for example, their search for a "truth serum" included combining LSD and Sodium Pentathol.

Ewen Cameron was a world-renowned scientist working for the CIA. Cameron developed "psychic driving," a procudure using electric shocks, powerful drugs and induced comas with a patient's own recorded words played back repeatedly. Patients would inevitably become worse off after treatments. Eventually Cameron would admit his experiments weren't as effective as he had hoped. It has taken decades, but hundreds of Cameron's victims are finally entitled compensation.

The CIA has also been accused of brainwashing children to become killers and sex slaves. These projects evolved to become Project Mk-Ultra. Children are used as sex slaves to cater to and compromise government officials. Edwin Wilson began the CIA's widespread use of sex in the early 1950s when he acquired homosexual and pedophile rings from CIA asset, mafia lawyer, and Joseph McCarthy Committee counsel Roy Cohn. Of course longtime FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover denied the existance of organized crime — ie the Mafia — as the FBI denies organized child sexual abuse today — ie ritual abuse. The idea that drugs, hypnosis and brainwashing would be used on children to cover up abuse is apparently too controversial for the FBI to admit.

Resistance to repressed (and suppressed) memories has manifested in the form of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation. Intelligence community specialists sit on the board and send controversial experts like Elizabeth Loftus to testify that recollections of childhood abuse are ficticious.

More than 25% of U.S. children are sexually abused and fewer than 10% of cases are reported to authorities. Often the abuser will implant crazy ideas into the victim's head; maybe the creep donnes a costume…it's up to the imagination what will scare silence into their victims. The über-creepy NAMBLA even publishes instructions on how to lure children.

Sigmund Freud tried to expose the extent of child sexual abuse, but his initial presentation brought reprisals. He retracted any connection between "hysteria" and child sexual abuse and controversy has raged since. Today we are discovering that neglect can cause attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, abuse can cause borderline personality disorder, and severe abuse can cause multiple personalities, or dissociative identity disorder. Unfortunately, there is still much denial when it comes to understanding that coercive psychological systems are being used on children.
