Technological Tools for Mass Manipulation=20
The more we find out about how human beings work through today's highly
advanced technological research, the more we
learn to control human beings. And what probably scares me the most is that
the medium for takeover is already in place. The
television set in your livingroom and bedroom is doing a lot more than just
entertaining you.=20
Before I continue, let me point out something else about an altered state
of consciousness. When you go into an altered state,
you transfer into right brain, which results in the internal release of the
body's own opiates: enkephalins and Beta-endorphins,
chemically almost identical to opium. In other words, it feels good...and
you want to come back for more.=20
Recent tests by researcher Herbert Krugman showed that, while viewers were
watching TV, right-brain activity outnumbered
left-brain activity by a ratio of two to one. Put more simply, the viewers
were in an altered state...in trance more often than not.
They were getting their Beta-endorphin "fix."=20
To measure attention spans, psychophysiologist Thomas Mulholland of the
Veterans Hospital in Bedford, Massachusetts,
attached young viewers to an EEG machine that was wired to shut the TV set
off whenever the children's brains produced a
majority of alpha waves. Although the children were told to concentrate,
only a few could keep the set on for more than 30
seconds!=20
Most viewers are already hypnotized. To deepen the trance is easy. One
simple way is to place a blank, black frame every 32
frames in the film that is being projected. This creates a
45-beat-per-minute pulsation perceived only by the subconscious
mind--the ideal pace to generate deep hypnosis.=20
The commercials or suggestions presented following this alpha-inducing
broadcast are much more likely to be accepted by the
viewer. The high percentage of the viewing audience that has
somnambulistic-depth ability could very well accept the
suggestions as commands--as long as those commands did not ask the viewer
to do something contrary to his morals, religion,
or self-preservation.=20
The medium for takeover is here. By the age of 16, children have spent
10,000 to 15,000 hours watching television--that is
more time than they spend n school! In the average home, the TV set is on
for six hours and 44 minutes per day--an increase of
nine minutes from last year and three times the average rate of increase
during the 1970s.=20
It obviously isn't getting better...we are rapidly moving into an
alpha-level world--very possibly the Orwellian world of
"1984"--placid, glassy-eyed, and responding obediently to instructions.=20
A research project by Jacob Jacoby, a Purdue University psychologist, found
that of 2,700 people tested, 90 percent
misunderstood even such simple viewing fare as commercials and "Barnaby
Jones." Only minutes after watching, the typical
viewer missed 23 to 36 percent of the questions about what he or she had
seen. Of course they did--they were going in and
out of trance! If you go into a deep trance, you must be instructed to
remember--otherwise you automatically forget.=20
I think Dick Sutphen, one of our true great eccentric performance artists,
wrote the above, and also the below!
Programmed Confusion
Step Two is programmed confusion: You are mentally assaulted while your
alertness is being reduced as in Step One. This is
accomplished with a deluge of new information, lectures, discussion groups,
encounters or one-to-one processing, which
usually amounts to the controller bombarding the individual with questions.
During this phase of decognition, reality and illusion
often merge and perverted logic is likely to be accepted.=20
=20
Thought Stopping
Step Three is thought stopping: Techniques are used to cause the mind to go
"flat." These are altered-state-of-consciousness
techniques that initially induce calmness by giving the mind something
simple to deal with and focusing awareness. The
continued use brings on a feeling of elation and eventually hallucination.
The result is the reduction of thought and eventually, if
used long enough, the cessation of all thought and withdrawal from everyone
and everything except that which the controllers
direct. The takeover is then complete. It is important to be aware that
when members or participants are instructed to use
"thought-stopping" techniques, they are told that they will benefit by so
doing: they will become "better soldiers" or "find
enlightenment."=20
are we , horror of horrors! only IMAGINING ourselves to be freethinking
beings, when we are in fact participating in a cultic practice DISGUISED as
"culture speech" ? Are all these fine wordages and outpourings ACTUALLY
mental tape loops programmed into us by a high level medi machine in order
to induce psychic servitude ? Have WE GOT IT ALL WRONG !!!??? DID WE
ACTUALLY BECOME ROBOTS LONG AGO AND were programmed to imagine ourselves to
be individuated beings when we are actually just as much automata as
factory workers?
our next topic: Spontaneous Combustion....!!! don't miss it!!!!!
