Mind Control

"I think the subject which will be of most importance politically is Mass Psychology. ...It's importance has been enormously Increased by the growth of modern methods of propaganda ... Although this science will be diligently studied, it will be rigidly confined to the governing class. The populace will not be allowed to know how its convictions were generated.": Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) Philosopher, educator

"What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, little by little, to being governed by surprise; to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if the people could not understand it, it could not be released because of national security. And their sense of identification with Hitler, their trust in him, made it easier to widen this gap and reassured those who would otherwise have worried about it: Milton Mayer - Excerpt from pages 166-73 of "They Thought They Were Free" First published in 1955

Those who are interested in self-realization, in terms of

mind and sense control, offer the functions of all the

senses, as well as the vital force (breath), as oblations

into the fire of the controlled mind.

One of the best historical examples Lisa saw that can be easily applied to all western countries concerning mass mind manipulation occurred in the second world war. In hindsight, it was a grand experiment for things to come.

In war-time Germany, changes in life altered imperceptibly as rules were gradually changed and introduced. Lisa was reminded of the analogy of the frog in boiling water. The frog remained in the water until its death due to the slow effects as the temperature was slowly increased. The gap between government and the people widened ever so slowly as is happening today. People became very gradually accustomed to government by surprise, to receiving decisions deliberated in secret, to believing that situations were so complicated that "normal" people couldn't properly understand or that the "situation" had to be handled in secret for "national security reasons". Additionally, each step in the transformation of German life was disguised to create the illusion of a common threat to all which could only be handled by the government. Participation and distraction by the citizens was increased through the need for extra forms, by-laws and more functions to comply. There was no time to think or ponder.

In today's world, the required participation in government generated activities is not the central aspect of family life. Our community and family life is part of the ever increasing speed of the of our society..

The result of these distractions and busy-ness is that there is and was less and less time for such a luxury such as family life. There is also the government created diversions concerning national enemies to distract from any serious contemplation of our reality. Orwellian endless war. Citizens cannot be relied upon to tolerate activities that outrage the normal sense of decency unless the selected victims are stigmatized in advance. Governments can be relied upon to hoodwink its citizens toward the government's desired goals. Lisa again pondered the ‘time’ urges and how time was a possible hidden tool.

Living in this environment of uncertainty it is impossible to notice change. Each step is so small and inconsequential that change goes unnoticed.

Doubt and uncertainty of its citizens is very important to government. There is always and expectation of some unseen event looming on the horizon. But the "big event" never comes. One doesn't want to talk or act individually. However acting or thinking alone is not the only disempowering factor relied upon by all governments - uncertainty is certainly an important factor. Life is not a series of isolated events and no one lie is no larger than the ones that went before Nothing in government ever happens by accident.

Mind Control can be also referred to as behavior control or Mind Programming and is implemented in many ways..

The issue of Mind Control has been studied by marketing companies, spy agencies, higher learning institutions, military and suppliers, pharmaceutical companies, electronic experimentation and psychiatry . It is a fact. And Lisa noticed that of all the streams of medical science, mind or behavior control is the most used and most secretive of all.

A puzzling thing Lisa noticed was the willingness of ordinary and educated adults to comply with the command of perceived authority. It amazed her that so many people she knew seemed mesmerized by a uniform or a strong manager.

And every time they complied, they always seemed weaker and less self empowered.

Perception Control, one aspect of Mind Control, allows distortion of facts whereby issues such as retiring ‘baby boomers’ are portrayed as being parasites upon society however the reality is it is those same people who have ALREADY paid their taxes and BUILT the current infrastructures enjoyed by all.

Lisa could see examples everywhere how normal people were manipulated into doing the most bazaar and atrocious acts against humanity all under the auspices of the perception of authority. History was full of examples ranging from the Christian Crusades, the Nazi era and extending into today’s war on terror and the subsequent vile acts and torture by the occupying forces of ‘freedom’. People constructed some type of barrier against  accountability and punishment; even unto God by hiding behind authority. Such mind control extends into the corporate workplace whereby employees commit illegal acts all for the sake of managerial back-patting and promises of larger pay.

Perception Control = Emotional Control = Behavior Control= Disempowerment.

Along with physical weapons of war, psychological war operations (psyops) are being used against both enemies and domestic populations. Lisa immediately thought of propaganda. Propaganda can be as blatant and in full view as a national flag or can be very subtle, almost subliminal. Propaganda is used by politicians, advertisers, all media  and others who have a vested interest in influencing human behavior. Propaganda messages can be used to accomplish positive social outcomes, as in campaigns to reduce drug and alcohol consumption, but they are also used to win elections, start wars and to sell alcohol and drugs. Lisa thought of all the movies and television shows that glorified wars and the noble pursuit of killing indigenous inhabitants of an invaded land. Cowboys and Indians. Battles against evil.

Propaganda is a presentation of information, factual or otherwise by which benefit flows back to the originator. Psychological propaganda (psyops) is everywhere and results in an unfair advantage over the targeted masses. People still blindly believe that they are fully in control of their thoughts and actions however it is simple to manipulate people’s actions through their EMOTIONS. Lisa had long ago given her television to the trash bin.

The amazing  Internet has resulted in millions not only having access to hitherto inaccessible information, but has opened the floodgates of disinformation and emotional manipulation. Visual displays have agitated emotions, conversations with unknown people have resulted in emotional ‘flaming’ and entire countries have been steered by so-called factual information that really has been propaganda. The news feeds quickly adapted to embrace and use this new medium.

The Muslim denigration by western psyop troops has resulted in tales and acts of horror against these innocent human beings. And before that was the China Invasion. And before that there was nuclear threat. And before that it was ‘the communists. And before that it was whatever they dreamed up.

The psyop professional utilizes various tools in his attack. Being first on the scene and speaking loudly and repetitively usually results in being believed first up. This has been the case whereby immediately after 911, the media took up the mantra of blaming al-qaeda and Iraq for the attacks within minutes, however none of this was or is based in fact. An oddity yet to be examined or explained by the media broadcasts on that tragic day is the flurry of ‘experts’ who broadcast the perpetrators and reasons as the towers fell. It almost seemed they were all prepared ahead of the event. Then came the incessant rantings on WMD which also was classic psyops and propaganda based on the desires of those who gained by these events. Lisa had no doubts at all as to the ease of mind control and its prevalence in society. And she understood its power. And she began to see the link between dulled-downed minds and the ease with which people are herded. The reason why became clearer. Even deeper than the profit motivation came the fear/anxiety manipulation.

Lisa sat in silence. Could it be that those in control were themselves being controlled? Were the jokes about leaders being puppets closer to the truth than first appeared? Was the true reason to create humans dazed and dulled that would display a higher reaction in fear than those who were awake and knowledgeable? And if so, why.

And to the aware observer, the loudness and repetition of the propaganda often points directly back to the true source. As with the ‘murderer’ and ‘tyrant’, bad naming of various non-aligned world leaders, name calling has always played a tremendously powerful role in the school yards and beer halls. And the people believe it And now the media fully embrace this abhorrent past time

The name-calling by a psyop practitioner usually links a person, a group, a religion or a race to a negative. The aim is to foster distrust or separation and even elitism over the targeted groups. And rarely if ever do the people receiving the propaganda ever stop to think and apply their our knowledge or understandings to the situation and see it for what it really IS

The most common examples of name calling are  Commie, Nazi, Fascist, Pig, Yuppie, Queer, and Terrorist.

The flip side to this is the self aggrandizement of nations when they tell all and sundry just how wonderful and free and democratic they are and that they have the best military, best aged and health care, best industries and so on. And Lisa found that once again most people never stopped to see and learn what the circumstances actually ARE. Enter the illusion. And the natural flow on in these chest beating exercises is that the population believes it is at the pinnacles of excellence and therefore has no further expectations of anything extra.

The Orwellian double-speak is maximized in these circumstances whereby deaths are titled collateral damage (therefore not human), people fighting for their homelands become Insurgents and Defense Industries belie the truth of weapons of mass murder. The world armies that actually defended were always vilified. The attacking defenders somehow got a sick type of honor.

The psyop masters cunningly boost an authority, sanction, and prestige of something respected and honor to something they would have us accept. For example, most people respect and revere their church and the nation. If the disinformationist succeeds in getting ‘church’ or ‘nation’ to approve a campaign in behalf of some program, it thereby transfers its authority, sanction, and prestige to that program. Thus, we may unwittingly accept something which otherwise we might reject.

A propaganda item cunningly showing the church as approving or disapproving of something is powerful and can be used both positively and negatively to control and herd perceptions. Authority can be bestowed or removed and the most common we see is by utilizing a ‘professional’ person to endorse or berate products and people But Lisa had always been taught that churches promote love and peace. Why were churches beating war drums? Why did they support war mongers? Were the church/state/corporate goals identical?

The alternative to this mind control method is by way of dis-association whereby an arms length approach is applied in unusually difficult times. Examples of this are seen when lies are exposed and patsies are used or ‘the gee-whiz I wasn’t aware’ excuses are laid out. However the manipulation is still the same. Create a shift of focus whilst continuing to deceive.

It is often enough seen that events, information or statements are continually taken out of context and half truths and missing information is offered for consumption. This is particularly prevalent when whipping up public opinion for wars and laws based on untruths against fictional foe and impending Homeland attacks.

Panic, fear, doubt and anxiety are commonly incited and then used to shepherd communities into THINKING  attacks are imminent and our leaders MUST save us from these unseen yet real dangers. Lisa was reminded that never let the truth or facts get in the way of a good story.

Assumptions of things being true when they are plainly not is a powerful tool in psyops. The minds of people are told assumptions over and over again and the repetitions are in plain view for all to see. The onslaught of WMD’s and terrorists by politicians and media have plainly not been based in fact however the message or conditioning is began and the minds begin to accept these as being true because they assume politicians and corporations do not lie. None of this applies to any one group or country. The phenomenon is spread between a growing and select group of countries. Couple this with dumbed down populations and the inherent apathy instilled by television and drugs/food poisoning and suddenly the lies gain substance in the absence of critical thinking and required facts and proof. Naturally the ‘Who Benefits’ rule must once again be applied.

A lot of propaganda and behavior manipulation comes with endorsements by public figures or movie stars. The persons involved may or may not fully know the reality of the situation however this is of no consequence. The enthrall by which celebrities are held by many people leads millions to believe fully that they never lie. Sufficient numbers that fall into step with this type of control and attitude shifting is then adopted by many more of the herd that do not wish to appear different from their associates. People just wish to be like their television/movie heroes. People with sufficient self worth and belief in themselves don’t put any other human on a pedestal higher than themselves. They then are immune to this hype and form of control.

Endorsements uttered by celebrities rarely if ever are questioned with a critical eye and are therefore usually unrestrained in both truth and capacity of knowledge of fact. They are sinister advertisements especially when involving the realms of government and corporate governance. Most people are at heart honest and it is because of this inner trait that they often are unable to consider that they are being told untruths. It usually never crosses their minds thus making them easy prey to someone speaking with feigned sincerity and knowledge. A wise and aware person ensures that they KNOW as many factual truths as possible and once again is unaffected by the surrounding nonsense.

A lie once exposed is rapidly reworked and an alternate ‘take’ is adopted such as ‘staying the course’ even though the original lie is smoothed over and it is business as usual. Rarely if ever is a change adopted or a better strategy provided that differs from the original intent of the task in hand for to do so would most certainly awaken many people to the other areas of manipulation of their lives. The lie must be ongoing at any cost – and usually it is the innocent that always pay the price. The litany of excuses that are trotted out in regards to all recent wars highlights this.

Another weapon gaining in usage is the carrot and stick approach whereby people are induced to accept circumstances that are clearly not in their best interests but are maneuvered into acceptance by promises of reward or benefit.

Clues to these events are when programs such as health are foistered upon citizens out of the blue without any prior perceived need for action and the ‘packages’ are wrapped in bonuses or grants. Be wary of the hidden motives and the ‘who gains’ scenarios. Also it needs to be seen what is actually wrong with the current status quo – if anything at all.

Lisa wryly noted how many so-called leaders always put on a sorrowful and placating smirk and began their speeches with ‘My fellow citizens/countrymen’ and so forth. The phoniness was never wasted on her and she often wondered just how many people bought this nonsense. Too many did it seemed.

The need for millionaire CEO’s and politicians to come across as ordinary Joe’s underlined a startling fact they were NOT ordinary. So why do they do it?

Every election time, they all trotted out the same ‘we care’ and ‘we will fix it’ lines whilst knowing full well that the ‘average’ memory span of people especially at election times is 2 years maximum. The previous lies and promises long since overplayed with unending reality shows and football games. It was plain to Lisa that if people could in fact remember what they were promised, very few politicians in the world would ever be elected twice.

The hooplah that surrounds the campaign trail belies the essence that the ‘event’ is far more important than the ‘issues’ The constant feel-good approach replaces all individual thought and the herd consciousness grows until all detached and critical thought is washed away and replaced with the them and us battle against opposing political parties. Separation skills at their finest.

Lisa knew only too well how fear is used to move entire nations. The constant war mongering, iron curtain, bamboo curtain, cold war, Asian/nuclear threat scenarios are constantly dusted off and paraded when a hint of realization that the truth may be different than proffered. And always a solution is offered and always that solution imprisons the population even more through reductions of freedom and speech. The fear mantra is always designed to strike at he personal level in each and every person and the citizens will feel personally obligated to accept and support the proffered ‘fixes’ at any cost.

And as all political ‘opposition’ parties worldwide are actually marching to the same corporate drum beat as the party currently in power, it is often see as a contest as to who can invoke the most fear.

Lisa was amazed that despite living standards continually falling and the middle class was disappearing fast, rarely a concerted whimper was ever heard. The rich were reaching dizzying heights of richness, the poor in number were swelling faster than could be believed and yet the tax grabs and methods continued to soar.

People seemed not to care.

Was this attributed to the slow creeping of government and corporate intrusions into their lives that was so slow that they failed to notice? And those who did notice were so disempowered (or so they think) that they kept their silence and remained stoically at the grind wheel? The perfect mindless slave perhaps?

Or was something else going on?

The constant upheavals and traumatic news flooding every airwave by world media seemed to keep everyone in a state of shock and dread – awaiting the next big drama or catastrophe. And once the ‘news’ drama shows ended, then the serials, documentaries and mini series blaring drama began. Life is getting more and more complex daily and it appeared many were just opting out – beaten, dazed, and more subservient.

Maybe that’s it in a nutshell thought Lisa. The media ownership is now but a few companies world wide. The escape into sunshine denied and truth limited, ruthlessly controlled. Relentless attacks upon individuality, the de-sensitizing of values, the ongoing shifts of what used to be ‘normal’ with new and future generations totally at odds with the ‘oldies’.  The introduction of standardization of outputs and procedures via Quality Control systems negating the need for enterprising thought processes or ideas. The utter craziness of politically correct speech that not only put lids on free speech and expression but serve to alienate and ridicule those of free speech and imagination. Then society began to police itself! A type of self censoring thought police had rode into town. Free speech zones.

And the public schools bare the full force of this extermination of freedom of spirit. Non conforming students rapidly isolated and their futures seriously hindered for they dare to be different. From the cradle to the grave, the mentality that there MUST be a control system, that there must be someone OVER each and all of us was born. And to survive, we better accept it and get back to work in silence! The needs of the government, corporation, school, and team began to take higher value and needs over the individual freedoms and worth.

And let’s not overlook the myriad forms of punishment. The human does feel more and more expendable with each passing day, yet to most this concept will never be realized – the conditioning mind control is all powerful and all persuasive however the price is terribly high. And they continue to eat food designed to attack the mind’s thought processes.

And if the hapless soul feels as if direction and solace may be found in a house of worship, he is greeted with a disapproving look and told he is a sinner and must do rituals to clear his lot. And be very thankful his life is so blessed. And then he must FEAR his creator. Fear the very Being which created his life in the first place. He is not allowed to look WITHIN for guidance and solution; he must look WITHOUT. The very idea that peace and wisdom can be accessed from within is deftly avoided, and replaced with yet another Authority figure. And the disempowering is continued for no one can be allowed to see the glimmers of self determination and worth that reside in the inner spirit.

He can be isolated, told he is unworthy, needs to conform, needs to buy this or that and all by teachers, television, bosses, peer groups, governments and so on. He is pressured to conform and perform, isolated if he doesn’t,  thrown into teams of lock-stepping groups, punished mentally and physically in many directions, prodded, confused and struggles to maintain self worth and dignity. He is conditioned to obey and perform by repetition of warnings, instruction and tasks.

He can embrace self development as long as it conforms. Or he can do it in secrecy.

Lisa noticed the increasing pressures being applied by the offering of limited choices. Many people were put in positions that they were given only two choices and one of which was bizarre, stupid and nonsense and the alternative choice was exactly where the manipulator wanted the people to go. Most people never go back on a choice that has been made for fear of ridicule but those same choices were often made with extremely limited information or fact. Nor do they even consider that a THIRD or FOURTH  choice is even available to them.

You are either with us ….   Or you are with Them. The third option of something different is never considered nor discussed openly. And once again the subtle need to obey some higher authority is used against us all. There is always a perceived threat of punishment or isolation cloaked in these ultimatums. And people still think it is themselves that control their personal lives.

Lisa had often worked for businesses that had physical and perceived mental walls between each function and department. She had been often frustrated and hindered due to the information sharing and knowledge being fragmented. This sometimes resulted in a sense of powerlessness because it was insisted that all permission to gain needed knowledge had to go through a supervisor. All initiative and productivity was tightly controlled. Her mind was being controlled. The ultimate outcome was she was being made submissive.

She also saw how easy it became for corruption and bullying to take hold in such fragmented infrastructures. Any system that rewards or punishes is controlled in such a way as to inhibit any behavior that reflects the person’s desired personal identity and thus promotes a ‘group’ thinking at the expense of Truth.

Lisa easily saw how military, corporate and media organizations used these tools to keep all of the parts working yet the final outcomes varied widely from what the individual parts thought their aims were.

Lisa could easily see that if you control the information and knowledge that people have, you control the people’s perceptions of their reality which are carefully guided resulting in what really is the truth becoming manufactured. Governments understand knowledge as power, and they seek to retain power, they must seek to control the flow of information the aim of which must be to limit knowledge. And to today’s thinking person, the examples of this are witnessed every day.

Once governments, media and corporations control the spread of information, then they control what people think. If you control what people think, you are, effectively, controlling their minds and their perception of reality.

This also began to explain how those large 3 entities often worked in full unison with identical outcomes – a symbiosis of energy and purpose.

And Lisa saw that where ever there was a control structure or a hierarchy, there was no spiritual purpose or self empowerment of the masses.
