Are you brainwashed?
    #5261806 - 02/04/06 07:51 AM (17 years, 11 months ago)

Are you brainwashed? What about some of your neighbors, are they brainwashed? Before you answer, let us ask you a few questions. Do you believe that the United States was struck by a terrorist attack on Sept. 11? Do think that the people behind that attack were ``Arabs'' and that its ``mastermind'' was this fellow Osama bin Laden, operating from the cave of Afghanistan? Do you believe that the way to stop terrorism is to hit them hard, to hit them at their ``bases'' in such places as Afghanistan, and to hit the nation's that might sponsor them, like, say Iraq? And what about the economy, do you think that the recent fall of the stock market and the weakness in the economy have been caused by the Sept. 11 attacks? Well, if you answered yes to any of these questions, you probably are brainwashed? If you answered yes to more than one, you are definitely a ``goner.''
But, you reply, is that what most people think? Wouldn't they answer those questions the same way as I do? Well, the answer to that is yes. But, we would remind you that just because the majority of people might believe something to be true, doesn't make it true. All it means is that you and most of your neighbors are suffering from a mass delusion-- or put, more bluntly, you are brainwashed. So the question is, really how did you get this way? How did you come to believe things like those statements in the first questions were true. ``Well, I heard it on... Well, I saw it on...Well, I read it in...'' You needn't bother finishing those statements; we can do it for you: you, and your neighbors were told, read, or saw the ``truth'' by the media.

The American media, which is so proud of calling itself ``free'' and has been patting itself on it back for the wonderful job it has done for all us during and after Sept. 11, is the largest, most expensive mass brainwashing machine ever assembled in human history. It is a machine that so completely brainwashes the hundreds of millions of American people that the Nazi's infamous propaganda minister Josef Goebbels would be envious.

Here are the simple facts of the Sept. 11, the essential facts. According to Democratic Presidential pre-candidate Lyndon LaRouche, whose assessment is shared by many competent specialists on terrorism in this country and around the world, what took place was not a terrorist attack, but strategic, covert special-operation organized to have the appearance of a ``terrorist'' attack. Mr. LaRouche and others concur that both its scope, and the extent of the cover-up and misdirection, that such operation could not have been organized by any Arab terrorist networks or terrorist cells, or by an Arab or Middle Eastern state, or any combination of the above; it had to be organized from within the United States, with the participation and connivance of a rogue network within the Anglo-American intelligence and establishment.

As with any such covert-special operation, there is a psychological warfare component intended to maximize the effectiveness against a targetted enemy, to confuse that enemy and misdirect him. In the case of the Sept. 11 operation, the targetted enemy is the population of the United States and its constitutional government. The ``psywar'' component of the operation is being carried out by the American media machine, with the intent of those behind the ongoing operation-- a coup against our constitutional government-- to brainwash the American people.

Does that mean that the leaderships of the American media are involved in the operation; no, it doesn't work that way. As EIR has explained and documented in a 1997 special report, the U.S. media is controlled and run as a cartel by the Anglo-American establishment. As such, it routinely serves the interest of that establishment, reporting what it wants and suppressing what it doesn't want reported, or slanting reporting to conceal reality. Thus, the media's performance before, during and after Sept. 11 could be prediscounted by those who planned the operation, so as to become a feature of it; it were merely required to insert certain specific ``psyops'' content into this media brainwashing apparatus for it to be spread far and wide with the desired effects on you and your neighbors.

The brainwashing methods are relatively simple and classic. First, use the terror itself to put people into a state of shock, making them more susceptible to suggestion. Then resort to the ``Big Lie'' technique to hammer home repeatedly your psywar message--those affirmative answers to the questions we first asked. And most importantly, lie by suppressing all counter-evidence, by refusing to report anything that might point to the assessment shared by Mr. LaRouche and others: the cover-up. All this has been done, along with initial softening of the population to the mass delusional suggestion of the enemy image and the alleged capabilities and motivations of the so-called terrorists, prior to the launching of the attack itself.

Don't be so hasty in dismissing the possibility of your own brainwashing. The enemy knows your profile and uses it. Doesn't that make you a bit mad-- maybe for the right reasons, for the first time in a few weeks.

I don't think that is fair at all. Perhaps you have just been brainwashed by Alex Jones' nifty video(s)?

I have noticed lately that the term "brainwashed" is being used ironically as a psychological device to coax people into agreeing with a particular point of view. I think the left in the US does this more often but the right does it as well.

This is coming form someone who references the most obscure non American liberal propaganda, actually I take that back you have many CNN quotes but CNN to the conservatives is worse than Fox to the liberals.

Calling other people with different beliefs "brainwashed" does not tend to go over well, and is generally seen as egotistical and immature.

i didn't call anybody brainwashed, i didn't write the post. But i do want people to ask themselves the question. its a possibility that one has to reflect upon and give it some thought, just like how i sometimes wonder if i'm not being brainwashed. doing this can't be a bad thing, sometimes people forget to check what they believe...

take this as a simple call for personal analysis

I personally agree 100% with what you said. I just dont see a point in posting it on the internet. It bugs the shit out of me, but if Michael Moore can have a movie stating these things air nationwide, and people still ignore the truth...I simply have to give up and admit defeat. The man won. Thats why I will always be a minimum wage bitch

People have been brainwashed into believing that their vote no longer matters.

People have been brainwashed into believing that there is actually any difference between the Republicans and democrats and by voting for one of these mirror images is going to actually effect any kind of change.

Define "brainwashed"

What is the difference between believing in something that the media and your culture have been feeding you your whole life and being brainwashed?
What is the difference between living in ancient Egypt praying to Anubis the god of the dead and living in the time of Columbus believing the earth is flat and living today in the here and now and believing that God is on our side and the muslims are wrong? Which of these three are examples of brainwashing?
What is the difference between being a member of a sucide cult and being a Buddhist? How can you prove that the suicide cult people are brainwashed and the Buddhists aren't?

If we have any control at all over what we believe (which is arguable), it is all simply in reaction to the political-media machine that sees us as taxable citizens and target audiences.

Am I brainwashed if I believe this, or is it just the way I make sense of the world?
