The Daily Bell -- UN Tackles Mental Disorders: Supervise World Sanity Via 'People's Charter for Mental Health?'
'Articles on mental health and suicide have been especially ubiquitous in the Anglosphere's elite-controlled mainstream press, in part because overseas wars are giving rise to a generation of emotionally fragile war veterans who are committing suicide in unprecedented numbers. Millions of citizens overseas afflicted by these wars suffer as well. To begin with these bureaucracies may seem innocent and even innovative. But over time it will become apparent that the UN is setting up some sort of worldwide mental health apparatus to evaluate people's emotional and intellectual stability. Worst case – if it gets that far – the UN will try to provide itself not only with the authority to evaluate people's mental competence but also the authority to send people to mental institutions and re-education camps if they are not sufficiently docile and open to the appropriate level of mind control.' -- How many fingers, Winston?

Natural News -- Zombie training? OWS Atlanta turns into collective hypnosis 'one voice' weirdness
'...I recognize mass hypnosis when I see it. The mind-numbing call-and-return vocalizations captured in this video reflect the same kind of mind control techniques used in cults, sporting events and even some church revival events. The whole point of this experience is to eliminate the individual mind and train everyone to think, and say, and do exactly what they are told to do by a "leaderless leader" who is really a mind control manipulator. This is a perfectly reflection of this hypnosis "zombie training" ritual at which one person holding the loudspeaker utters one verbal command after another as each one is repeated en masse by the crowd of clueless followers. Free-thinking individuals do not engage in this kind of behavior! Repeat after me: Freedom is… You: Freedom is… Me: …when you don’t do… You: …when you don’t do… Me: …what somebody tells you to do… You: …what somebody tells you to do… Me: …just because they claim false authority over you. You: …just because they claim false authority over you.'

The Daily Bell -- Hey Teachers … Leave Them Kids Alone!
'Previously, children had all been taught together and there was no age distinction, with older children helping the younger ones. What is never addressed today is the reason for the reconfigured system: It had to do with military accommodations. The idea was that boys educated together from childhood, and sent into battle together as well, would result in far more cohesive units. Public education was basically a way of increasing the efficiency of the German war machine. Inevitably, this system spread to Britain and Europe and then to the United States. ...the system was further redefined in America and Russia as one that was intended to turn out obedient, regimented workers. Learning was a secondary to the goal of achieving submissive subjects who would willingly succumb to life-long mind control. Naturally, mainstream media would be there to pick up the slack and further the "education process" when the public school days of a subject were completed.'

Truthout -- EXCLUSIVE: CIA Psychologist's Notes Reveal True Purpose Behind [2+2=5] Torture Program
'“From the moment you are detained everything your Detainer does will be contrived to bring about these factors: CONTROL, DEPENDENCY, COMPLIANCE AND COOPERATION. Your detainer will work to take away your sense of control. This will be done mostly by removing external control (i.e., sleep, food, communication, personal routines etc. ). Your detainer wants you to feel EVERYTHING is dependent on him, from the smallest detail, (food, sleep, human interaction), to your release or your very life. Your detainer wants you to comply with everything he wishes. He will attempt to make everything from personal comfort to your release unavoidably connected to compliance in your mind. ...it is absolutely inevitable that you must cooperate with him in some way (propaganda, special favors, confession, etc.).” -- #Pre-Detention Preparation: Have your life in order! Unresolved life issues drain energy which could be better used in resisting and coping with detention.' -- How many fingers, Winston?

Adam Curtis Blog -- FROM PIGEON TO SUPERMAN AND BACK AGAIN
'The idea of "nudging" citizens to do the right thing sounds cute. But in reality it marks the return of a powerful psycho-political theory that rose up in the mid-20th century. It was called Behaviourism. ...who decides what is "good" behaviour, and what happens when others decide it is bad[?] These are questions that the Nudge enthusiasts seem to be blithely unaware of. ...the old behaviourist ideas and techniques will be helped and reinforced by a powerful ally – the machines we have built. The computers. In our age of individualism we see computers as ways through which we can express our individuality. But the truth is that the computers are really good at spotting the very opposite. The computers can see how similar we are, and they then have the ability to agglomerate us together into groups that have the same behaviours. And from that they can predict what choices and decisions we will make. And they do it solely through our observed behaviour.'

The Vigilant Citizen -- Illuminati Symbolism in former Disney girl Belinda’s “Egoista”
Wherever the girls lead, the boys must surely follow... -- '...Disney, the ultimate recruiter of young talent who turn into sex objects around the age of 16, and the associations with Monarch mind control and sex kitten programming are all too real in Cheetah Girls. What do I mean by “recruiter of young talent who turn into sex objects”? Here’s a handy visual that describes the typical path those young Disney girls go through to stay successful. Belinda’s career bears all of the telling clues of what I call an “Illuminati artist”, entertainers who often follow these steps: recruited at a young age by media corporation, marketed with a “clean” and innocent image, attracts young fans, goes through sexualization metamorphosis, releases new album with racy imagery, then exposes fans to Illuminati and mind-control themes.' -- Pied Pipers are piping

The Vigilant Citizen -- Kanye West's "Power": The Occult Meaning of its Symbols
'Kanye stands at the border between Masonic knowledge and the decadence of the mundane life... he has been “chosen” to take part in an initiation process... Kanye needs to kill his old self and be ritualistically reborn. Once this is done, true power is within his grasp. ...this short-film, intended to be viewed by the general public (especially young people), describes the concept of power with overt Masonic symbolism and occult references. This causes the uninformed viewers to unconsciously associate those symbols with the concept of Power, while “those in the know” get the “insider’s wink” sent by this video. Power ultimately becomes another piece in the on-going process called the “Revelation of the Method,” where the true source of power gradually and subliminally reveals itself to the world and occult rituals take place right in front of the public’s eyes. How long before the complete revelation?' -- Pied Piper is piping

The Daily Bell -- The Mind Conspirators by Nelson Hultberg
'It begins in the school system. Instead of being objective forums for the transmission of the values of civilization to the young, our colleges and universities have now become fervent breeding grounds for this statist recruitment process, in which the better students get swept up in the "false ideal" of collectivism. It is a powerful futuristic vision that is subtly instilled into callow minds who lack the necessary sophistication to resist. Being young and prone to idealism, they perceive "political centralization and a one-world government" to be an ideal just as the students in Marx's day mistook his "dictatorship of the proletariat" as some sort of ideal. Thousands of highly intelligent students spring forth from this brainwash every year to enter the world and spread their newly learned convictions that capitalism and Western civilization are the "roots of all evil." They think they are working for an "ideal."' -- Alumnus illuminatus!

Wikipedia -- Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism: A Study of "Brainwashing"
'...is a psychology non-fiction book on brainwashing and mind control, by Robert Jay Lifton. Lifton outlines the "Eight Criteria for Thought Reform": #Milieu Control #Mystical Manipulation #Demand for Purity #Confession #Sacred Science #Loading the Language: The group interprets or uses words and phrases in new ways so that often the outside world does not understand. This jargon consists of thought-terminating clichés, which serve to alter members' thought processes to conform to the group's way of thinking. #Doctrine over person #Dispensing of existence: The group has the prerogative to decide who has the right to exist and who does not. This is usually not literal but means that those in the outside world are not saved, unenlightened, unconscious and they must be converted to the group's ideology. If they do not join the group or are critical of the group, then they must be rejected by the members. Thus, the outside world loses all credibility.'

BBC -- Virtual reality tackles tough questions
'A Spanish team has designed a trial that allows men to step inside the body of a woman subjected to violence. "I want to know whether you can use virtual reality, not just to transform the place you are in, but also to transform your very self."' -- I woke up. The pain and sickness all over me like an animal. Then I realized what it was. The music coming up from the floor was our old friend, Ludwig Van, and the dreaded Ninth Symphony. Suddenly, I viddied what I had to do, and what I had wanted to do, and that was to do myself in; to snuff it, to blast off for ever out of this wicked, cruel world. One moment of pain perhaps and, then, sleep for ever, and ever and ever.

"So the elders say, “Only good little boys can see the apple!” That’s why they layer in this moral dimension. ...by getting the person to believe that if they can’t see the invisible apple they’re bad, well then you torture them and you set them up with this lifelong quest to see an invisible apple which they just frickin’ well can’t do! You’ve put them into this mode of a dog chasing its own tail for the rest of its life and that person is then going to pose absolutely zero threat to the power structures that exist in the world, because he’s going to be so consumed with his own inability to see this invisible apple that he’s not going to raise any sort of basic or sensible questions to those in power. ...you’re fundamentally, absolutely, and completely helpless, because how are you going to question the morality of those in power with reference to logic and facts and our common humanity, when at the very beginning of things, you swallowed this invisible apple and called it tasty?"

Alan Watt -- Mass Mind Control Talk (With Aldous Huxley Berkeley Talk)
'The trick that’s been used in ancient civilizations was to convince the public that nothing was real at all, and once you convince them of that, you’ve dominated them because whatever you do to them doesn’t matter because NOTHING’S REAL and that’s the usual spiel of psychological warfare which is put out by certain individuals even today. ...a Mason forms things. They shape society and the control mechanisms over society are reformed... Going back to Aldous Huxley... Anything which would take away, as he said, the incredible loneliness and anxiety that everyone feels. This apartness and this is again going back to the Masonic Doctrine of ONENESS. We’re all oneness, they teach you. They themselves at the top don’t believe that they’re all one, they tell you down below that we’re all one, that way we act is like a school of fish ...they are in a sense one. That’s not what human beings are all about but they will have us all move in the same direction and it makes us easier to control.'

"...there have been improvements [in the techniques of terrorism.] [Pavlov] found among other things that conditioning techniques applied to animals or humans in a state either of psychological or physical stress sank ... very deeply into the mind-body of the creature, and were extremely difficult to get rid of. ...[new] methods ... are a real refinement on the older methods of terror because they combine methods of terror with methods of acceptance that the person who is subjected to a form of terroristic stress but for the purpose of inducing a kind of voluntary acceptance of the psychological state in which he has been driven and the state of affairs in which he finds himself. -- If there are 20% of the people who really can be suggested into believing almost anything, then we have to take extremely careful steps into prevent the rise of demagogues who will drive them on into extreme positions then organize them into very dangerous private armies which may overthrow the government."

The Daily Bell -- Change You Can Believe In
'This article is yet another proof of how the elite meme machine is slowly spinning out of control. It is very important to note that the way the power elite keeps society under control is through ... promotions. They have to be so all-encompassing that people self-censor. The beauty of the way these promotions worked was that when the power elite truly controlled the media, pre-Internet, there was no way to get away from the promotions; people didn't even try because they were not aware that they were being promoted. Not only must the media be controlled, but education as well. Alternative viewpoints must be attacked aggressively and demonized. All this was done in the 20th century, which must certainly be seen as some kind of high-water market for social control of Western societies. Of course in the 21st century all that has begun to change. The chrysalis has been cracked and something new is emerging. Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come.'

Infowars.com -- Oxford professor calls for drugging water supply
'In a 2008 paper titled, “Fluoride and the Future: Population Level Cognitive Enhancement, Savulescu writes: “Fluoridation is the tip of the enhancement iceberg. Science is progressing fast to develop safe and effective cognitive enhancers, drugs which will improve our mental abilities. For years, people have used crude enhancers, usually to promote wakefulness, like nicotine, caffeine and amphetamines. A new generation of more effective enhancers is emerging modafenil, ritalin, Adderral and ampakines and the piracetam family of memory improvers.” But once highly safe and effective cognitive enhancers are developed – as they almost surely will be – the question will arise whether they should be added to the water, like fluoride, or our cereals, like folate. It seems likely that widespread population level cognitive enhancement will be irresistible. ...should we try to engineer better, happier people?”' -- What's wrong? I just feel that I need something stronger.

The Daily Bell -- Cultural Marxism: The Corruption of America by Nelson Hultberg
(A God-fearing screed, yet still very useful.) -- 'Under Critical Theory/User Friendly Marxism, every tradition of Western life was to be redefined as ... "victims" or "oppressors." The stream of criticism was relentless and extremely sophisticated in an intellectual sense. Thus it mesmerized the pundit class who then disseminated the criticisms' fundamental content to the populace at large.' These intellectuals now control and administer our schools, media, courts, and legislatures. The cultural Marxists adopted Nietzsche's "transvaluation of all values," in which the Mad Hatter's world is instituted: Everything that previously was an evil now becomes a virtue while all the old virtues become evils. Individualism, self-reliance, property, profit, family, marriage, fidelity to spouse, strength of will, personal honor, rising through merit -- all these integral pillars of our civilization become distinctive evils that oppress us as humans. They must be rooted out of our existence.'

The Daily Bell -- The Heck With Homeopathy
'What is startling, when one takes a step back, is that the 20th and now the 21st century seem to provide a kind of fish bowl of misinformation within which most happily swim, never knowing any better. It is in fact the Internet that has allowed us to exit this vast fishbowl and to take a step back to see how thoroughly Western society has been diminished. There is, unfortunately, a pattern to it all. At every level of the West's descent into a kind of ineluctable ignorance one finds busy agents of the power elite, beavering away to insure that the decline continues. The impulse, almost always, is to impress upon the naïve, the trusting, the young and the old, the halt and the healthy, that a handful of authorities, peopled by a select few individuals, are equipped to take life-decisions for all. The power elite has left no stone unturned, no aspect of life untouched. Anywhere that one looks, the pattern is there if one wishes to see.'

Issendai's Superhero Training Journal -- How to keep someone with you forever
'...create a sick system. A sick system has four basic rules: #Rule 1: Keep them too busy to think. Thinking is dangerous. If people can stop and think about their situation logically, they might realize how crazy things are. #Rule 2: Keep them tired. Exhaustion is the perfect defense against any good thinking that might slip through. #Rule 3: Keep them emotionally involved. Enmesh your success with theirs. Keep everything on the edge. Make sure there's never quite enough money, or time, or goods, or status, or anything else people might want. Insufficiency makes sick systems self-perpetuating, because if there's never enough x to fix the system, and never enough time to think of a better solution, everyone has to work just to keep the system from collapsing. #Rule 4: Reward intermittently. -- Once you're out of the system, it makes no sense at all. None of the carrots they dangled before you mean anything, and you start to truly comprehend just how much stress you were under.'

The Vigilant Citizen -- Lady Gaga's "Alejandro": The Occult Meaning
'...the video tells a story of spiritual rejection and metamorphosis taking place in the context of an oppressive police state. Gaga’s performance at American Idol truly exploited the Luciferian theme of the song. The performance takes place in a setting reminiscent to the Garden of Eden, where the “Fallen Angel”–Lucifer, the one who was banished from Heaven and tempted Adam and Eve with divine knowledge–presides over the ceremony. Fire comes out of the angel’s wings (after all, he is the “Light Bringer”) each time Gaga says “Alejandro.” At the end of the performance, Gaga is lifted up under the Fallen Angel as a blood-red liquid oozes out from the fountain underneath him. Another ritual sacrifice has taken place on prime-time television.'

'...it was in Vietnam that anthropology, along with many other academic disciplines, truly became the handmaiden of power. Anthropologists, psychologists and sociologists designed vast programmes of social engineering and psychological manipulation. The aim was to change the way the Vietnamese peasants saw the world - and out of this create a new loyalty to the American vision of building a capitalist democracy in South Vietnam. And out of that came Project Camelot. It was an attempt to build a system that could be applied anywhere in the world, inside any developing country that was fighting an insurgency. In 2005 Montgomey McFate saw these ideas as the model for what anthropology could do for American foreign policy in a war zone. And that is what she re-created in the Human Terrain System.'

The Vigilant Citizen -- Mind Control Theories and Techniques used by Mass Media
'In the past, when changes were imposed on populations, they would take to the streets, protest and even riot. The main reason for this clash was due to the fact that the change was clearly announced by the rulers and understood by the population. It was sudden and its effects could clearly be analyzed and evaluated. Today, when the elite needs a part of its agenda to be accepted by the public, it is done through desensitization. The agenda, which might go against the public best interests, is slowly, gradually and repetitively introduced to the world through movies (by involving it within the plot), music videos (who make it cool and sexy) or the news (who present it as a solution to today’s problems). After several years of exposing the masses to a particular agenda, the elite openly presents the concept the world and, due to mental programming, it is greeted with general indifference and is passively accepted. This technique originates from psychotherapy.'

They see the guys in the streets with combat boots and that's all quite normal to them now. What happens is, you get into a state of flux – they call it flux 'at the top' – where you can't rationalise reality and separate it from fiction using your own perceptions to ask yourself, 'Am I really under attack right now, or is it all in my head?' But all the symbols they're giving you say, 'I'm under attack! I'm under attack! Comply! Obey!'

The Vigilant Citizen -- The Hidden Meaning of Lady Gaga's "Telephone"
'Telephone acts as a sequel to Paparazzi, where Gaga still plays the role of a mind-controlled drone who kills people. This concept is never openly discussed by the artists when they are asked to explain their videos because it is not meant to be understood for the masses. The hidden meaning of the video actually depicts the elite’s contempt for the general population, hence the scene of ritual murder of average Americans in a diner by mind-controlled slaves. -- I am not saying that Gaga is controlling your mind. I’m saying her video is ABOUT mind control. This disturbing theme keeps reoccurring in pop music. Her works, like the works of many other pop stars, are part of a greater agenda. It used to focus on exposing the youth to materialism and sexual promiscuity, but it has now expanded to occult symbolism, mind control and transhumanism. Am I reaching you or is your telephone busy?'

The OTO’s ability to transform America consisted in the linkage of this brazen lying with science and science fiction, molding media and medicine in their image and likeness and creating a new ‘Thelemic’ religion for the masses.” – Michael A.

Catherine Austin Fitts Blog -- The Layman’s Guide to Mind Control
'Who controls your mind? Is it you? Or is it someone who wants to control you or profit at your expense? Are your opinions determined by your assessment of the important facts in a given situation? Or are they manipulated by subtle broadcast techniques spawned by billions of dollars of research on how to get you to act against your own best interest? Are you spending years and thousands of dollars getting an education that gives you an accurate picture of how the world works? Or are you learning a history created by the “winners”—a history that was intentionally designed to serve the future control of a hidden oligarchy at your expense? Do you keep choosing leaders that have been credentialed and promoted by private interests to engineer the destruction of your rights and the theft of your assets? Why? To protect yourself, you must protect your mind and maintain an accurate map of the world around you—including the ways that others are trying to use your mind as a weapon against you.'

'Journalist Chris Hedges discusses his recent book Empire of Illusion: the End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle. In it, he charts the dramatic rise of a post-literate society that craves fantasy, ecstasy, and illusion. Hedges argues we now live in two societies: one, the minority, functions in a print-based, literate world and can cope with complexity and can separate illusion from truth; the other, a growing majority, is retreating from a reality-based world into one of false certainty and magic where serious film and theater, as well as newspapers and books, are being pushed to the margins.' -- "Things become so grim that there's a retreat into self delusion." -- Excellent summary of progress already made along the road to serfdom, also an urgent warning of the rise of utopian christian fascism. It's a shame he calls for an equally utopian "militant" socialism to fight against it. Violence is violence is violence. Neither the left fist nor right fist can justify it.

'Here are issues that we would argue ARE politically correct: [*A long list*] -- We've listed the above areas of "political correctness" only to prove what regular readers of the Bell already have guessed: that our impression of political correctness (in the 21st century anyway) has to do with being careful not to contradict the dominant social themes of the power elite! Throughout the 20th century, and into the 21st, power elite promotions were so powerful, threatening and effective, that people - businesses, too, and, of course, government - carefully self censored, even when they could not explain how and why they came to their self-censoring determinations. This was the ultimate triumph of elite promotional memes - they exercised an iron-clad hold over people's imaginations and internal life. Yet of course it would be the Bell's argument that all of that may be changing now as the Internet-driven conversation continues to rapidly expand.'

Encyclopedia Dramatica -- Environmentalism
'The 21st Century's answer to Socialism, Environmentalism is a disease deliberately inflicted on retards by The Man for the purpose of depopulating poor places. While the former emphasized adoring the false idol of The State, Environmentalism consists of adoring the false idol of Pagan Goddess Mother Nature... The most notable symptoms of environmentalism are unwarranted Self-Importance, a false sense of morality, disregard for human life, lack of reasoning ability... Environmentalists are actually incapable of contributing anything to any cause they claim to support. That's why they instead try to prevent others from contributing to society. For example, they like to prevent cures for diseases from being invented by protesting animal testing. Considering Environmentalism is a mind-altering disease (much like Zombism), it makes sense that those infected with it will try to propagate the infection and prevent the development of a cure, much like how AIDS attacks the immune system.'

The Vigilant Citizen -- The Transhumanist and Police State Agenda in Pop Music
'Today’s pop music is filled with symbols and messages aimed to shape and mold today’s youth. Apart from the occult symbolism discussed in other articles, other parts of the elite’s agenda are communicated through music videos. Two of those parts are transhumanism and the introduction of a police state. f the news scares people into accepting measures diminishing their personal freedoms and ushering in a “new era”, the music business accomplishes the same job by making it seem sexy, cool and trendy. This angle is mainly aimed at the younger crowd, which is much more susceptible to “take in” the industry’s message. We’ll look at the way those agendas are part of the acts of Rihanna, Beyonce, Daddy Yankee and the Black Eyed Peas.'

'The course will teach students 'cutting edge techniques', including an introduction into Electroencephalography (EEG) and will be paid for out of police coffers, according to respected industry magazine Police Review. -- EEG is the recording of electrical activity in the brain gathered by placing sensors on the scalp which monitor 'neuron activity' - which cops believe can help 'encourage' suspects and witnesses to tell the truth.' -- I smell Communist Purpose at work.

The Vigilant Citizen -- Lady Gaga, The Illuminati Puppet
'The symbolism surrounding Lady Gaga is so blatant that one might wonder if it’s all a sick joke. Illuminati symbolism is becoming so clear that analyses like this one becomes a simple exercise of pointing out the obvious. Her whole persona (whether its an act or not) is a tribute to mind control, where being vacuous, incoherent and absent minded becomes a fashionable thing. While masses of young people imitate Gaga’s gestures, her act is part of a bigger system that incorporates many other stars with the same symbolism. She is creative and a gifted song writer. But at the end of the day, the “Lady Gaga” persona is a Fame Monster, doing everything required to be an international superstar, including incorporating in her act the symbolism of the elite, making her an Illuminati puppet.'

The Vigilant Citizen -- Kerli's Creepy Mind Control Video
'"Alters and Triggers: Another way of examining this convoluted victimization of body and soul is by looking at it as a complex computer program: A file (alter) is created through trauma, repetition and reinforcement. In order to activate (trigger) the file, a specific access code or password (cue or command) is required. The victim/survivor is called a “slave” by the programmer/handler, who in turn is perceived as “master” or “god.” About 75% are female, since they possess a higher tolerance for pain and tend to dissociate easier than males. Subjects are used mainly for cover operations, prostitution and pornography; involvement in the entertainment industry is notable." -- Different artists are used to propagate the same symbolism to different crowds.' -- The Pied Pipers

Freedomain -- The Logic of Personal and Political Freedom: Why People Reject Freedom
'It is my strong belief, based on considerable experience with children, that we are born strong, secure, confident and empathetic. It takes a fierce effort to destroy the natural strength of children. [P]arents teach their children [...] nonsense. -- The moment you lie to someone, you become both their slave and their master. You are their slave, because you are terrified of being discovered—and you are their master, because you must control their perceptions. You must destroy their curiosity. You must respond to any approach to your falsehoods with irritation, condemnation and withdrawal. The energizing question ‘why’ becomes your implacable enemy. You must undermine their capacity to reason, to think for themselves. You must overcomplicate the world. And most of all—most of all—you must become the sworn enemy of all principles, even the most innocuous. The only ‘rules’ you can allow are base commandments, such as ‘respect your elders’, ‘love your country’ and so on.'

'1983, Bezmenov explains his background, some of his training, and exactly how Soviet propaganda is spread in other countries in order to subvert their teachers, politicians, and other policy makers to a mindset receptive to the Soviet ideology. He also explains in detail the goal of Soviet propaganda as total subversion of another country and the 4 step formula for achieving this goal: #DEMORALIZATION #DESTABILIZATION #CRISIS #NORMALIZATON'

Spiked -- Turning children into Orwellian eco-spies
'There is a long and sordid tradition of trying to socialise children by scaring them. The aim of such socialisation-through-fear is twofold: firstly, to get children to conform to the scaremongers’ values; secondly, to use children to influence, or at least to contain, their parents’ behaviour. The Big Brothers of the 1940s saw children as tools of moral blackmail and social control. Today, in the twenty-first century, scaremongers see children in much the same way, exploiting their natural concern with the wonders of life to promote a message of shrill climate alarmism. In a world where moral education seems to be exhausted, where teachers are reluctant to judge or to explain the difference between right and wrong, environmentalism has become one of the few values that educators feel comfortable with. The growing significance of environmental issues in the school curriculum is directly proportionate to society’s broader moral illiteracy and loss of purpose.' -- I'm snitching on you

Transcend Polarisation
'The fall of the Tower of Babel is where the [2+2=5] first made their appearance.' -- 'When all the old control methods the [2+2=5] have used against the people no longer work and there are too many people that have woken up and will no longer do as they are told, that means that people will stop giving the [2+2=5] their energy and faith. When people stop giving the [2+2=5] their energy and direct their energy towards themselves and others, then it will be inevitable that the [2+2=5] will start losing everything, they will lose their money, they will lose their claims over all the land they have taken over the centuries and they wil lose their power over the people. The [2+2=5] doesn't have any power, they just have the power that their subjects give to them, when the people stop giving their energy and power to the [2+2=5], then that means that the [2+2=5] has no power. It's that simple. The [2+2=5] know their game is almost up, and they are going for broke.'

The Complete Newspeak Dictionary from George Orwell's 1984 -- New words
'New words: #Extremist: Somebody that thinks differently than you. Anybody that has an opinion that differs from current government policy. This term allows politicians to speak of their rival's agendas without actually having to explain exactly what their rival's beliefs are. #Hate Crime: A real crime which is punished more severely because the person is also guilty of a Thoughtcrime. #Left and Right Wings: Terms that limit the range of expression when discussing issues. The idea that there are only 2 sides to every argument. These terms give the public the idea that there are only two possible sources of ideas, and that these two "opposing" sides represent the entire gambit of thought. #New World Order: A world in which all people live peacefully, under the control of the U.N. #Peace Process: A process which will ultimately lead to war. The process of getting oppressed people to shut the hell up and embrace their occupiers.'

The Daily Bell -- Obama to Attend Copenhagen Climate Talks
'...the signifiers of an elite dominant social theme is its imperviousness to reality. Climategate - the falsification of data over numerous years to "prove" global warming - has definitively arrived and the damage to the global warming meme is immense. But don't expect the banking and political class to acknowledge that. It is fairly easy for the monetary elite itself (a few thousand individuals) to enlist hundreds of thousands and even millions of functionaries to promote these dominant social themes through a variety of governmental and private organizations (and public schooling as well). But ultimately, in order for these themes to gain traction, the promotions themselves (for that is what they are) must reach a receptive public. These days, the Internet is exposing each of these promotions. When the credibility of these promotions is eroded, then they cease to work as planned.' -- FAIL

The Battle for Your Mind: Persuasion and Brainwashing Techniques Being Used On The Public Today
'In the entire history of man, no one has ever been brainwashed and realized, or believed, that he had been brainwashed. Those who have been brainwashed will usually passionately defend their manipulators, claiming they have simply been "shown the light". The sad truth is that a high percentage of people want to give away their power—they are true "believers". They look for answers, meaning, and enlightenment outside themselves. True believers are not intent on bolstering and advancing a cherished self, but are those craving to be rid of unwanted self. They are followers, not because of a desire for self-advancement, but because it can satisfy their passion for self-renunciation! They are eternally incomplete and eternally insecure. Never underestimate the potential danger of these people. They can easily be molded into fanatics who will gladly work and die for their holy cause. It is a substitute for their lost faith in themselves and offers them a substitute for individual hope.'

Spin information: Amplification, Downplaying, Distortion, Statistics, Lies, and Meta-propaganda. #Plain folks: Make the leader seem ordinary to increase trust and credibility. #Stereotyping: Classify the other side negatively. Polarize. #Testimonial: Use the testimony of a respected independent person who is seen as more trustworthy. Use celebrities, experts, police, scientists, clerics and divinities. #Transfer: Associate the leader with these trusted others.'

Signs of the Times News -- The Trick of the Psychopath's Trade: Make Us Believe that Evil Comes from Others (9)
'Psychopathic lying is not mere deception, it is "creating reality" so that it conforms to the psychopath's wants. Psychopaths demonstrate an extremely distorted understanding of what we call facts. Normal humans really have difficulty conceiving of this because to us, facts are a basic part of our lives. We live by them, base our assessments and decisions on them. We establish facts, and then test things and establish more facts. When we debate, we start with facts and show how we derive our conclusions from those facts. When we perform such operations, we place value on those "facts" being true. Psychopaths do not do that. Being devoid of real emotional depth, they have no attachment to the idea of "truth". But, because people project their own internal structure onto the psychopath, most do not understand this. -- A psychopath becomes an expert at creating "facts" that cause normal people to form beliefs that benefit the psychopath.'

The Chronicle of Higher Education -- Is Graduate School a Cult?
BITE Model of cult controls: "#Behavior: major time commitment required for indoctrination sessions and group rituals; need to ask permission for major decisions; need to report thoughts, feelings, and activities to superiors. - #Information: access to non-cult sources of information minimized or discouraged (keep members so busy they don't have time to think) and extensive use of cult-generated information. - #Thought: need to internalize the group's doctrine as 'Truth' (us vs. them, inside vs. outside) and no critical questions about leader, doctrine, or policy seen as legitimate. - #Emotional: excessive use of guilt (identity guilt, social guilt, historical guilt); phobia indoctrination (irrational fears of ever leaving the group or questioning the leader's authority; cannot visualize a positive, fulfilled future without being in the group; shunning of leave takers; never a legitimate reason to leave; and from the group's perspective, people who leave are 'weak,' 'undisciplined.'"

Technology Review -- A Robot That Knows When to Back Off
"A modified Roomba tries to detect, and avoid, stressed-out users. ...a headband reads bioelectrical signals to a humble floor-cleaning Roomba. The headband, which is sold as a gaming device, detects muscle tension in the wearer's face, so the researchers were able to directly control the Roomba's speed by, for example, clenching their jaws or tensing their eyebrows. They also developed a somewhat crude way to evaluate a person's emotional state, based on facial muscle tension (the more tension, the more stress), and programmed the Roomba to respond. If a person exhibited high stress, the Roomba continued cleaning but moved away from the user... a robot designed to provide comfort could instinctively approach a person who is feeling particularly sad or stressed." -- And then the mind comes to depend upon the expressions of machine to know what it should be feeling.
