brainwashing & mind control techniques

The term "brainwashing" came into common language through the work of American journalist Edward Hunter who was an expert of Oriental issues; the very word being the direct translation of Chinese "hsi-nao". By "hsi-nao" the Chinese meant certain techniques in dealing with adversaries and/or training of officials. To the Western usage the term "brainwashing" spread in the 1950s through several publications depicting the treatment of American soldiers at Chinese prison camp during the Korean War 1950-1953.
Below is a list of the usual brainwashing/mind control techniques used in schools, hospitals, army, religious cults, totalitarian states; with political prisoners and dissidents, mentally insane, some versions of psychoterapy, etc., etc. "Indoctrination" is a more slight and more subliminal form of brainwashing (e.g. commercials). However, these concepts are nothing short of controversial and open to various interpretations, which should be kept in mind while perusing the Web sources below.
I can't guarantee the information found from some of these pages is totally unprejudiced or scientifically verifiable under skeptical observation. So, it's up to you to decide whether to believe them or not.

1) HYPNOSIS - Inducing a high state of suggestibility, often thinly disguised as relaxation or meditation.

a. Repetitive Music (most likely with a beat close to the human heart 45 to 72 beats per minute). Most likely used during "study sessions" as the teacher will say the music helps you relax and concentrate better!
b. Voice Roll -- A "voice roll" is a patterned, paced style used by hypnotists when inducing a trance. It is also used by many lawyers, several of whom are highly trained hypnotists, when they desire to entrench a point firmly in the minds of the jurors. A voice roll can sound as if the speaker were talking to the beat of a metronome or it may sound as though he were emphasizing every word in a monotonous, patterned style. The words will usually be delivered at the rate of 45 to 60 beats per minute, maximizing the hypnotic effect.
c. Room "Feel" - The way a room feels is essential to hypnotizing unknowing subjects. It needs special lighting, florescent lights are best because they aren't too dim, but aren't too harsh. Also, Room Temp helps a bit, usually a little cooler than normal room temperature. You need to have the unknowing subjects very relaxed, perhaps even close to falling asleep.
2) PEER GROUP PRESSURE - Suppressing doubt and resistance to new ideas by exploiting the need to belong.
3) "LOVE BOMBING" - Creating a sense of family through physical touch, thought & feeling sharing and emotional bonding.
4) REJECTION OF OLD VALUES - Accelerating acceptance of new lifestyle by constantly denouncing former beliefs and values.
5) CONFUSING DOCTRINE - Encouraging blind acceptance and rejection of logic through complex lectures on an incomprehensible doctrine.
6) METACOMMUNICATION - Implanting subliminal messages by stressing certain key words or phrases in long, confusing lectures.
7) REMOVAL OF PRIVACY - Achieving loss of ability to evaluate logically by preventing private contemplation.
8) DISINHIBITION - Encouraging child-like obedience by orchestrating child-like behaviour
9) UNCOMPROMISING RULES - Inducing regression and disorientation by soliciting agreement to seemingly simple rules which regulate mealtimes, bathroom breaks and use of medications.
10) VERBAL ABUSE - Desensitizing through bombardment with foul and abusive language. (Physical abuse, such as torture, is the more extreme form of this.)
11) SLEEP DEPRIVATION AND FATIGUE - Creating disorientation and vulnerability by prolonging mental an physical activity and withholding adequate rest and sleep.
12) DRESS CODES - Removing individuality by demanding conformity to the group dress code.
13) CHANTING OR SINGING - Eliminating non-cult ideas through group repetition of mind-narrowing chants or phrases.
14) CONFESSION - Encouraging the destruction of individual ego through confession of personal weaknesses and innermost feelings of doubt.
15) FINANCIAL COMMITMENT - Achieving increased dependence on the group by 'burning bridges' to the past, through the donation of assets.
16) FINGER POINTING - Creating a false sense of righteousness by pointing to the shortcomings of the outside world.
17) ISOLATION - Inducing loss of reality by physical separation from family, friends, society and rational references.
18) CONTROLLED APPROVAL - Maintaining vulnerability and confusion by alternately rewarding and punishing similar actions.
19) CHANGE OF DIET - Creating disorientation and increased susceptibility to emotional arousal by depriving the nervous system of necessary nutrients through the use of special diets and/or fasting. Also applying drugs for these purposes fall in this category.
20) GAMES - Inducing dependence on the group by introducing games with obscure rules.
21) NO QUESTIONS - Accomplishing automatic acceptance of beliefs by discouraging questions.
22) GUILT - Reinforcing the need for 'salvation' by exaggerating the sins of the former lifestyles.
23) FEAR - Maintaining loyalty and obedience to the group by threatening soul, life or limb for the slightest 'negative' thought, word or deed.

Three Principles of Re-Education
1) REPETITION - Going through the same subject over and over again until it is known by heart.
2) ACTIVITY PEDAGOGICS - The subjects are never left alone nor give any private time of their own, they are always in activity.
3) CRITICISM AND SELF-CRITICISM - The subjects are supposed to feel uncertain; under the constant threat of being humiliated and despised.
In the Korean War the "criticism and self-criticism" sessions held for the American prisoners of war by the Chinese clearly had deeper effects than the POWs could initially comprehend, and when they found out, it was too late. In the beginning many prisoners found this whole procedure just childish, and were inclined to take it merely as something of a joke, but without them being able to realize it, the situation of being subjected constantly to the criticism of one's comrades became humiliating.
That a grown-up person should publicly discuss one's habits or inclinations -- some of them of very private nature -- confess one's faults, receive strong criticism for insignificant misdemeanours, will not be indeed in the course of time anything to be considered childish or playful: it simply will be experienced as insulting. This continuing feeling of humiliation became crucial in the gradual psychological break-up of the prisoners' personalities. Furthermore, this ongoing process of "criticism and self-criticism" was bound to cause mistrust for one's own comrades: it was the tactics of "divide and conquer" as the ancient Romans would have called it. ("Criticism and self-criticism" were also widely applied during China's "Cultural Revolution" starting in 1966, as a method of "re-education".)

From The Parallax View by Alan J. Pakula (1974)

Remote Neural Monitoring is a mind and body invasive security system which has been developed to deal with terrorism.  It involves implanting a suspected terrorist with brain and body implants and then wirelessly connecting those implants to a supercomputer.  This implantation occurs without the suspected terrorist knowing that they have been implanted.   From that time on all of the electrical activity being generated within the body and brain of the suspected terrorist is transmitted by a two way link to a supercomputer which is operated by criminal neuro operatives.    The data collected from the suspected terrorists body is data analysed and collated into various categories.   The neuro operatives can tell from reading this collated data what the suspected terrorist said and did each and every day and night.   The suspected terrorist no longer has any mental privacy whatsoever.    The two way link from the supercomputer and other computer networks allows unknown criminal neuro operatives to send their voices by wireless means to the brain of the suspected terrorist.    These aforementioned  unknown criminal neuro operatives also use the two way wireless link to send moving images, odours, forced muscle movement signals, false emotions and feelings, sensations and even pain signals to the brain and body of the suspected terrorist.    These unknown criminal neuro operatives can cause the victim to suffer from sleep deprivation.   They also send false digital signals into the spine of the body of the victim in order to cause neurological damage.  They can even cause total paralysis if they persist in sending false signals to the spine of the victim over a long period of time.   This Remote Neural Monitoring in combination with Remote Neural Manipulation system may also be a method of electronically mind controlling large portions of each population so that they are unable to react appropriately to the extreme level of danger that the human race is now in from this and other technology.  

The United States, the United Kingdom, Spain, Germany and France are among some of the countries that use Remote Neural Monitoring combined with Remote Neural Manipulation on their own people.   The definition of suspected terrorist has now expanded to include almost everyone in the world.   The dark new world order evil cabal now wishes to wirelessly tether all  of the human race except themselves to this Remote Neural Monitoring combined with Remote Neural Manipulation extremely invasive control system.   It is a system of full spectrum dominance of the human being.  It is a method of enslaveing the whole human race and making them become grovelingly obedient to the dark new world order evil cabal. 

I have been a non-consensual and extremely unwilling  subject of Remote Neural Monitoring combined with Remote Neural Manipulation for approximately sixteen years.  I have experienced all aspects of it.  I have studied the matter for sixteen years.   I have written about my experiences in debth on my website which is called www.targetedindividualsireland.net and on my facebook page which is called www.facebook.com/gretta.fahey.98.  

The reason I believe that I have been placed on Remote Neural Monitoring combined with Remote Neural Manipulation approximately sixteen years ago is because I applied for disability allowance for irritable bowel syndrome and I also complained to the disability assessment doctor that I had been treated inappropriately for irritable bowel syndrome in the past my many general practitioners and specialists and I had also been denied disability allowance for it.   I became a targeted individual of both Remote Neural Monitoring and Remote Neural Manipulation soon after my complaint.  

I hear the voices of the neuro operatives and their agents coming from inside my head on a continual basis.  I often post what the voices are saying to me and about me online so that others may know what it is like to experience constant voice hearing.   Herebelow is an example of what some of these neuro operatives have been reproducing inside my head in recent days.--

"You don't get to make any decisions any more, not even the smallest kind."

"When the client has no sleep she is far more prone to suicide attempts"   followed by another inner voice which replied to the first inner voice as follows  "We have no policy on the matter,   Get on with your work."

"We have an old bitch writing down what we say.  She posts it online then the following day."

"Slowing down our economy deliberately in order to eventually attempt to take over the whole economic system in Ireland."

"I can see from my computer screen that you evacuate your bowels regularly."

"Extreme anomalies in her bowel.  She hasn't a system of cogency at all."

"Get an imprint of her energy field while she is writing her signature.  Then control her to sign her signature when she is in a state of distraction.   Then take her for every penny she has.  It has been done to targeted individuals all over the world."

" We will wreck her gut.  We will wreck it."

"We don't wish to be seen while inspecting the goods."

"It is my job to monitor the activities of the client on a constant basis."

"There is somebody assessing the system.   They will locate us easily due to the signals coming out of our location."

"There is mutiny in the ranks."

"Did she drop her drawers for anyone recently."

"Predicated on the fact that this woman is involved in something nefarious."

"No.  She is not involved in anything nefarious."

"We don't care if they are Christian or not.   We have to take a broad spectrum."

"What the heck have we done to deserve being discussed in ways that are unbecoming."

"A lynch mob will come and kill her."

"We are fitting her up."

"We haven't been minding our affairs. There are agents of ours in cahoots with events that are not in our favour."

"There is an amusing situation going on here.  We have to tally a woman's bowel outages."   This was responded to by another internal voice which was heard to say by me "Who is paying you to tally bowel outages".  A further internal voice was also  heard to say by me "I am."     A still further internal voice was then heard to say by me "What is your name."   A further internal voice was then heard to say by me   "My name is Anison Anderson".  A further internal voice was then heard to say by me "Is it happening when in public".   A still further internal voice was then heard to say by me "We only tally bowel outages when she is in her own private ground".
