This is in response to the article in Readers Digest (Nov. 2003) by Tucker Carlson who is a regular columnist for Readers Digest and a co-host of CNN’s “Crossfire.” His article, “Pumping out lies — “The air is thick with sick conspiracy theories” will program the suggestible reader to distance himself from anyone who believes that a political conspiracy could exist. For years the public has been programmed so that the word “conspiracy” has become a trigger word that releases the emotions of rejection and ridicule. Most people, I believe, would prefer physical pain than to feel public ridicule so they will, similar to Pavlov’s dog, automatically reject and ridicule anyone who attempts to expose a political conspiracy. Lenin described the process this way, “When obstructionists become too irritating, label them as fascist, Nazi or anti-Semitic… The association will, after enough repetition, become ‘fact’ in the public mind.”
The article is laced words and phrases that will release negative emotions in the twenty percent of the population that is extremely susceptible to suggestion.

For example the trigger words are:

1. That’s outrageous! (Department title.)
2. Pumping out lies.
3. Sick conspiracy theories.
4. Conspiracies that don’t exist.
5. None of these things actually happened.
6. They were hatched and cultivated.
7. Like-minded mentally ill.
8. People buy into the bull.
9. The paranoid lie.
10. Rumors as ludicrous as these.
11. Willing to suspend reason and common sense.
12. Some crank mythology.
13. Thousands will die as a result.
14. If… his beliefs weren’t so severe.
15. Foreign plot.
16. A convenient way of diverting responsibility.
17. Turned conspiracy theories into a fine art.
18. Offensive garbage.
19. Kooks and fanatics.
20. What’s dangerous is that…
21. Otherwise sane people. (They are insane.)
22. To feed their biases.
23. Government capable of mass murder.
24. Conspiracism is a relic of a pre-rational age. (To believe that a conspiracy is possible is irrational.)
25. Conspiracy theories. (They are only theories not facts — regardless of the amount of proof.)
26. Justify their prejudices.
27. The truth be damned.
28. So dumb we’ll believe anything.
29. People who believe in witches (conspiracies) tend to burn them. (They are dangerous!)

How can such an article be explained? Let me paraphrase a statement by Lenin, “It is ironic that world government (conspiracy) must be built by those who are opposed to tyranny. 1 of 4

And here is a direct quote from the Russian textbook on mass conditioning or as Pavlov would have called it, “Mass hypnosis.”
(Page 5) “Thus we see that psycho-political procedures are a natural outgrowth of practices as old as Man, practices which are current in every group of men throughout the world. “Thus, in psycho-political procedures there is no ethical problem, since it is obvious and evident that Man is always coerced against his will to the greater good of the State, whether by economic gains or indoctrination into the wishes and desires of the State.” (There have always been conspiracies therefore conspiracies are ethical.)

And on the same page is this revealing statement, “And in view of the tremendous advance of Russian Culture in the field of mental technologies, begun with the glorious work of Pavlov and carried forward so ably by later Russians, it would be strange that an art and science would not evolve totally devoted to the aligning of loyalties and extracting the obedience of individuals and multitudes.” (Mental robots)

The following is part of an essay by Robert Welch that indicates he was aware of the brainwashing techniques that were being used on American citizens. It appeared as the forward to the JBS Bulletin for September 1963 and again in September 1999.

For more and more now you are going to see confusion doubly confounded in our country through the deliberate, cunning, and extensive application to human beings of the technique developed by Pavlov for making frustrated idiots out of intelligent dogs. First you train the strapped dog to reach for its food after one signal, and to withdraw its paw to avoid and electric shock after another signal. Then you purposely change the signals, back and forth. You change and change again all of the other signals, for each of which the dog has learned the original meaning; and you watch the dog frantically trying to make some sort of order out of the purposely mixed up stimuli, as his mind gradually breaks down completely under the unfathomable confusion. If this happens, only long and loving care will ever bring him back to anything like normal again. On the other hand, when the dog is trying so hard to find what he is supposed to do–in order to obtain food or water, or to avoid pain – just before his mind collapses all together, and while it is working in a feverish state, he is highly susceptible to suggestions, and can be trained very quickly to do many things for which his trainer would otherwise have needed long effort and patience. In other words he can be converted, with great ease, into a four-legged robot, that dares question nothing.
“And pray, Sir whose dog are you?”

“Whenever you see someone behaving strange, weird, or bizarre don’t panic, they might just be hypnotized.” — Tom Kramer, Stage hypnotist

The Monroe Evening News Monroe, Michigan, Wed., Sept. 13, 1933

NOT THAT !
Are the schools of America to be used as a propaganda agency to mould public opinion
into conformity with the policies and theories of the administration?
We hope not, and believe not. Even the suggestion of such a thing is shocking. But that
is just what Louis P. Alber says is going to be done, and Louis P. Alber is chief of the
speakers’ division of the NRA.
In an interview at New York, published everywhere in the Saturday papers, he declared
that a “primer” expounding the principles of the NRA and the Roosevelt program would
be sent into the high schools, both public and parochial, of the country. That of itself
would not be a disturbing thought, for such a primer might be a practical explanation of
the plan that would be helpful and commendable. But apparently there is much more to
it than that. Just read these astounding utterances by Mr. Alber:

The rugged individualism of Americanism must go, because it is
contrary to the purpose of the New Deal and the NRA, which is
Remaking America.
Russia and Germany are attempting to compel a new order by
Means of their nationalism — compulsion. The United States will
do it by moral suasion. Of course we expect some opposition, but
the principles of the New Deal must be carried to the youth of
the nation. We expect to accomplish by education what dictators
in Europe are seeking to do by compulsion and force. Mr. Alber added that the “primer” is only the first step, and that a plan is being considered
for the extensive use of motion pictures in the schools for the same purpose.
It still might be thought that perhaps, after all, he proposes nothing more than to explain
in the schools the nature and operation of the National Recovery Act — that perhaps we are
reading too much meaning into his words. But he removes all doubt on that point when
he says:

The NRA is the outstanding part of the President’s program. But in
fact it is only a fragment. The general public is not informed on the
other parts of the program, and the school’s are the places to reach
the future builders of the nation.
So, according to what Mr. Alber says, NRA — sweeping and revolutionary as it is – is
only a “fragment” of a greater program of which the public knows nothing, and this
unknown program is to be inculcated in the minds of pupils in the schools everywhere,
by official efforts and at government expense. Hitherto the purpose of the schools has
been merely to educate the youth of the land — to impart knowledge, in an unbiased
and nonpolitical manner. Now, according to Mr. Alber, our schools — like those of
Italy, Germany and Russia — are to become an agency for the promotion of whatever
political, social and economic policies the administration may desire to carry out.
And the taxpayers, whether they like those policies or not, are to pay for having
their children converted to them. The whole proposition is so amazing, and so alarming
In its implications, that we refuse as to take it seriously. We prefer to believe that
Mr. Alber is merely an enthusiast who has been carried off his feet, and who spoke rashly.
We cannot believe that Mr. Alber reflected the President’s designs or his desires.
