Guest guest Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 Mind Control: Theories & Practices; Propaganda, Social Control, Belief Monitoring and Manipulation, Attitude Formation, the Thought Police http://www.ftrbooks.net/psych/mind_control.htm The following books examine various psychological and psychiatric theories and practices related to mind control - control of thoughts, ideas, beliefs, attitudes, opinions, and one's overall view of reality. The formation and alteration of these things are no longer " natural " . Many people and groups spend much time and money ensuring others (i.e. the rest of us) accept and promote the ideas others choose. Since the 1950s the US government has funded extensive experimentation in mind control " technologies " . Many innocent American citizens (and others) have been the subject of horrendous experiments often without the victims' slightest knowledge. Corporate America depends heavily upon forming, changing and controlling beliefs, attitudes and ideas in their never-ending activities to convince the public to buy their products. Governments depend upon the fields of psychiatry and psychology to supply them with the tools of mass manipulation and social control. Brainwashing techniques, methods of religious conversion, and sophisticated advertising methodology all find a common link to the theories and practices of modern psychology and psychiatry. The greatest protection they have from us (i.e. the general public) detecting these things is the public's utter disbelief that such things could 1) be researched and seriously studied, and 2) be actually applied by the powers that be. They have been and are studied very seriously, and are being used extensively today. To discover about the mind control theories and practices online see the SNTP Mind Control Main Page. To learn online about the US government's involvement with mind control experimentation and it's relation to the psychiatric field see the SNTP CIA & Mind Control Main Page.
