PsyWar & Psystrat Countermeasures
“The conflicting propaganda of opposing parties is essentially what leads to political abstention. But this is not the abstention of the free spirit which asserts itself; it is the result of resignation, the external symptom of a series of inhibitions. Such a man has not decided to abstain; under diverse pressures, subjected to shocks and distortions, he can no longer (even if he wanted to) perform a political act. What is even more serious is that this inhibition not only is political, but also progressively takes over the whole of his being and leads to a general attitude of surrender.” — Jacques Ellul, Propaganda: The Formation of Men’s Attitudes

BRITISH MIND CONTROL: Principles of modern psychology originated in esoterics which is also the root of modern espionage and intelligence psyops, as well as parapsychology. Magic and religion has been employed to control populations since the dawn of written history. In military terms psychic operations are called psychotronics.
Adversaries are rogue psi operatives, psiwarriors who battle like sorcerers. Psychic self defense employs thought disruption, shielding techniques, mind drain and energy manipulation. Psionics is scientific magic ~ magecraft, the product of extraordinary human potential. Precogs, like analysts, are attuned to the future. Deep Cover They understand viscerally that things are often not what they seem. Both are masters of disguise, the hidden environment, intelligence, espionage, and covert action. Both aim to 'tweak the timeline' with small perturbations that pump up to macroscopic results, setting up currents of intentional influence. They also tweak minds by controlling the environment. No one can resist what they cannot detect.

THE PSYWAR ESTABLISHMENT & WHO IT SERVES

PSYWAR ESTABLISHMENT & WHO IT SERVES, by Iona Miller
Soviet Peoples War - Psychological Warfare at home and abroad "The gigantic catastrophes that threaten us today are not elemental happenings of a physical or biological order, but psychic events. To a quite terrifying degree we are threatened by wars and revolutions which are nothing other than psychic epidemics. At any moment several millions of human beings may be smitten with a new madness, and then we shall have another world war or devastating revolution. Instead of being at the mercy of wild beasts, earthquakes, landslides, and inundations, modern man is battered by the elemental forces of his own psyche." - Carl Gustav Jung
"During times of universal deceit telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act." - George Orwell

“For if leisure and security were enjoyed by all alike, the great mass of human beings who are normally stupefied by poverty would become literate and would learn to think for themselves; and when once they had done this, they would sooner or later realize that the privileged minority had no function, and they would sweep it away. In the long run, a hierarchical society was only possible on a basis of poverty and ignorance.” - George Orwell
Research into the use of microwave weapons and their use for mind control began in 1950s at the Tavistock Institute, one of Britain's leading psychiatric research establishments. The UK institute was researching into ways of mind controlling the British population without them knowing. The monkey submission response, whereby the dominant monkey caused submissive behaviour in the underlings, was the brain state of most interest to the British scientists. Having found this specific brain rhythm for docile submissive, zombie-like behaviour, it was then recorded and used as the template for the ELF signal beamed on UK microwave transmitters. Britain was the first discoverer of microwave technology, used for radar, in the 1940s and therefore had a commanding lead over everyone else in this field.--Tim Rifat

PHILLIP BOBBIT ON "TERROR & CONSENT"
http://fora.tv/2008/05/02/Philip_Bobbitt_on_Terror_and_Consent
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4ZNqre9MuE
*
In 1970, Stefan Possony described the characteristics of people's war, virtually impossible to distinguish from the Tavistock Method, as follows:40
The most significant of the five Studies in Prejudice, produced for the AJC during 1944-50, was The Authoritarian Personality (New York: Harper, 1950). Authors Adorno, Frenkel-Brunswik, Levinson, and Sanford assembled a large research team from the Berkeley Public Opinion Study and the International Institute of Social Research, to conduct thousands of interviews of Americans, to profile their allegedly deep-seated tendencies toward authoritarianism, prejudice, and anti-Semitism. Dr. William Morrow, the leading protégé of Dr. Kurt Lewin, who was one key, bridge figure between the Frankfurt School and the Tavistock Institute, was a research director for the Authoritarian Personality project.
The study was an exercise in self-fulfilling prophecy and Marxist/Freudian self-delusion. Long before the first survey questionnaire was drafted, Horkheimer and Adorno had written exhaustively about the ``authoritarian'' character of the American nuclear family, about the ``problem'' of the American people's belief in a transcendent monotheistic God, and about the underlying fascist character of all forms of American patriotism. They ``cooked'' the survey data, in advance, by devising a series of scales, purporting to measure the American population's tendency toward anti-Semitism, ethnocentricity, anti-democratic ideology, and, ultimately, fascism. Not surprisingly, the research team found the American public ``guilty as charged,'' and produced dire warnings that, unless a dramatic overhaul of the American ideology and mass culture were carried out, America would soon emerge as a Fourth Reich, repeating the horrors of Hitler on an even grander scale.
The authors of The Authoritarian Personality let it all hang out in the concluding chapter of the book, in which they summarized their findings and spelled out their recipe for social transformation:
``It seems obvious, that the modification of the potentially fascist structure cannot be achieved by psychological means alone. The task is comparable to that of eliminating neurosis, or delinquency, or nationalism from the world. These are products of the total organization of society and are to be changed only as that society is changed. It is not for the psychologist to say how such changes are to be brought about. The problem is one which requires the efforts of all social scientists. All that we would insist upon is that in the councils or round tables where the problem is considered and action planned the psychologist should have a voice.
We believe that the scientific understanding of society must include an understanding of what it does to people, and that it is possible to have social reforms, even broad and sweeping ones, which though desirable in their own right would not necessarily change the structure of the prejudiced personality. For the fascist potential to change, or even to be held in check, there must be an increase in people's capacity to see themselves and to be themselves. This cannot be achieved by the manipulation of people, however well grounded in modern psychology the devices of manipulation might be.
... It is here that psychology may play its most important role. Techniques for overcoming resistance, developed mainly in the field of individual psychotherapy, can be improved and adapted for use with groups and even for use on a mass scale.''
The authors conclude with this most revealing proposition: ``We need not suppose that appeal to emotion belongs to those who strive in the direction of fascism, while democratic propaganda must limit itself to reason and restraint. If fear and destructiveness are the major emotional sources of fascism, eros belongs mainly to democracy.''
Eros was precisely the weapon that the Frankfurt School and their fellow-travellers employed, over the next 50 years, to create a cultural paradigm shift away from the so-called ``authoritarian'' matrix of man in the living image of God (imago viva Dei), the sanctity of the nuclear family, and the superiority of the republican form of nation-state over all other forms of political organization. They transformed American culture toward an erotic, perverse matrix, associated with the present ``politically correct'' tyranny of tolerance for dehumanizing drug abuse, sexual perversion, and the glorification of violence. For the Marxist/Freudian revolutionaries of the Frankfurt School, the ultimate antidote to the hated Western Judeo-Christian civilization was to tear that civilization down, from the inside, by turning out generations of necrophiliacs.
If this statement seems harsh, consider the following. In his 1948 work on The Philosophy of Modern Music, Frankfurt School leader Theodor Adornoargued that the purpose of modern music is to literally drive the listener insane. He justified this by asserting that modern society was a hotbed of evil, authoritarianism, and potential fascism, and that, only by first destroying civilization, through the spread of all forms of cultural pessimism and perversity, could liberation occur. On the role of modern music, he wrote, ``It is not that schizophrenia is directly expressed therein; but the music imprints upon itself an attitude similar to that of the mentally ill. The individual brings about his own disintegration.... He imagines the fulfillment of the promise through magic, but nonetheless within the realm of immediate actuality.... Its concern is to dominate schizophrenic traits through the aesthetic consciousness. In so doing, it would hope to vindicate insanity as true health.'' Necrophilia, he added, is the ultimate expression of ``true health'' in this sick society.

In 1970, Stefan Possony described the characteristics of people's war, virtually impossible to distinguish from the Tavistock Method, as follows:40
- People's war is a long drawn-out or protracted revolution. Its unavoidable duration is exploited by guerillas to bankrupt their opponents politically, morally, and economically.41...The most practical objective of guerilla warfare is to create chaotic conditions in the target country and prevent effective, efficient, and good government.
- The key concept of a people's war is to build up dual power by means of guerilla warfare. Dual power means the existence of two sets of power institutions, authorities, and government-like administration functioning side-by-side competitively.
- The transition of power from government No. 1 to government No. 2 is to be accomplished by withdrawing the loyalty of the population from the pre-existing government and bestowing it on the emerging government, while simultaneously providing it with legitimacy. This transition constitutes the revolutionary process.
- Victory means that one or the other government prevails. Defeat means that one or the other government (or regime) disappears [author's emphasis]. The transfer of loyalty depends in large measure upon the success of violent guerilla operations.42
- The use of propaganda to deprive its enemy of its legitimacy and outside support....Propaganda, especially if it is attended by conquest, is the prime method through which legitimacy is withdrawn and attributed to a new power elite.43 In this context, propaganda has a special purpose: "As the war appears and disappears from the news but for years continues to rage, world public opinion is being conditioned to accept rebel victory as inevitable and pre-destined."44
- Destroying the enemy's economy.
- Promoting anti-militarism and encouraging defections from the army, stimulation of desertion and mutiny.45
- Mass terror as a "psychological" operation to weaken the enemy's forces and morale, and strengthen the guerillas.46
- Securing intelligence and denying intelligence to the enemy.47

NOT SO HIDDEN AGENDA - TERROR, COLLABORATION & MANUFACTURED CONSENT

Lucian Hudson, Consultant on Collaborative Strategies
Lucian Hudson advises on collaborative strategies to help organizations achieve greater impact. He has recently produced a report for the FCO on what makes for effective partnership and collaboration, examining the relationship between governments, business and non-government organisations (NGOs). He has involved more than 100 organizations globally, including 20 governments, and 10 international institutions.
From September 2006 until June this year, Lucian was the FCO Director of Communication. He created and led for the first time in the FCO’s history a singlecommunication directorate, and a global network of 200 communicators. This drew together strategic communication, public diplomacy, media, internal communication and stakeholder engagement. He led the first change programme to mainstream communication.
Previously, Lucian led the UK government’s Media Emergency Forum, and co-chaired a Cabinet Office working group involving government departments, emergency services and media representatives to agree and implementnew rules of engagement after 9/11. He was the principal communications adviser to the government's Risk Group, and oversaw implementation of the Freedom of Information Act in all government communication directorates.
Between 2004 and 2006, he was Director of Communications, DCA (now Ministry of Justice), and chaired the department’s crisis management team. Between 2001 and 2004, he was Director of Communications and Chief Knowledge Officer at the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). Lucian was seconded to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) to run media operations at the height of the foot and mouth crisis in 2001 from his post as the government’s first Director of e-Communications. He launched the UK government’s first web portal, andestablished the firstUKonline marketing strategy.
Before joining the Civil Service, he was editorial director of a dot.com following a 16-year career with the BBC and ITV, as a television executive, programme editor and producer.
For seven years, Lucian led two not-for-profit organizations, the Tavistock Institute, and the Rory Peck Trust.

Methodology
“Collaboration, by its very nature, means that traditional means of control - market and hierarchy - cannot be used to manage relations among participating organizations. Instead, it depends on the ongoing negotiation of relationships by individuals who are both participants in the collaboration, and, at the same time, accountable to and representative of the diverse organizations and communities involved in, and affected by, it.”
Hardy and Grant, 2005. Quoted in: Lotia and Hardy (2008) pp. 366-367
Case for optimism
“If we combine our efforts with other people’s efforts, we can make our resources go further, and achieve more impact.”
Steven Fisher, Deputy Head of Mission, British Embassy, Budapest
“Whether you are a manager in the public or private sector, collaboration taps a source of value that includes, but goes so much further than, price- the value of what people can accomplish together if they really apply themselves, and organizations support and develop them”.
Verna Stewart, Strategic Relationship Director, Strategic Development Solutions, Lloyds TSB
“Companies that do not transparently communicate their
sustainability performance are running out of excuses”
Sir Mark Moody-Stuart, Chairman, Anglo-American
Case for caution
“You have to be tough-minded and have enough sensitivity to make collaboration work. It’s not just people who have egos; organizations have egos too.”
Diplomat in one of the NATO missions, Brussels

Collaboration
Business can be more strategic than government but expects government to deliver on any collaboration
NGO perspective: Are governments allies, targets or partners? Issues: independence, funding
Different tensions in role of NGOs:
advocacy, delivering services, enabling solutions or problem-solving, improving governance or transparency, harnessing new or existing markets
Corporate Social Responsibility: not just PR but business strategy
Governments alone can't achieve social goals. Private sector investment and responsibility & NGO expertise and networks needed.
We are not bystanders. We want solutions
Is our role as architects, builders & interested enablers as much as leaders?

Investment in human capital/training
New era where governments, businesses & NGOs work together seamlessly
Evolution of role of business
The reasons behind these investments are straightforward: self-interest. Companies that rely on the natural resources and human capital of emerging markets are investing and instituting sustainable development practices and education initiatives in partnership with the U.S. government because both government foreign assistance programs and companies alike are dependent on the global economy. Because of this reliance, both the public and private sector are motivated to act.” James Thompson, US State Department

Drivers of effective collaboration
To be effective, experience indicates that on the whole, collaboration
builders need to:
2. Achieve results with genuine, more broad-based support Combine effectiveness with legitimacy, particularly if the collaboration itself can’t deliver changes, but the combined effort of others in society can, if motivated and inspired to behave differently.
4. Experiment, evolve and improve
Adapt to, and try to shape, immediate and wider environments- the collaborative world is not about winning an argument, but working together to do what’s right, now and in the future.
15 steps needed to implement a collaborative strategy
Aiming high in collaboration means raising the sights
of what negotiations can produce in creating and
delivering value.
All the best negotiations aspire to reaching what
economists call the Pareto optimum - the point of
agreement which favours each side equally,
maximising the gains, and minimizing the losses.

“International NGOs do not have that basis in legitimacy that is provided by

Among the most important NGOs, although we don’t think of them this way, are multinational corporations. Just as governments in the era of the market state will have to learn the business methods of wealth creation, so businessmen- however much they dislike it- will have to learn the methods of winning public consent, for they have truly global interests.”

“Public governance is a global issue. No longer can businesses, governments or non-governmental organizations afford to act independently of each other - the stakes are just too high. Only through a combined effort can we achieve economic growth, sustainability, and create an opportunity for a better life for people everywhere.“

"Man does not have the right to develop his own mind. This kind of liberal orientation has great appeal. We must electrically control the brain. Some day armies and generals will be controlled by electric stimulation of the brain."
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will
eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained
only for such time as the State can shield the people from
the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie.
It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use
all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the
mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension,
the truth is the greatest enemy of the State." - Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Propaganda Minister
Lucian Hudson advises on collaborative strategies to help organizations achieve greater impact. He has recently produced a report for the FCO on what makes for effective partnership and collaboration, examining the relationship between governments, business and non-government organisations (NGOs). He has involved more than 100 organizations globally, including 20 governments, and 10 international institutions.
From September 2006 until June this year, Lucian was the FCO Director of Communication. He created and led for the first time in the FCO’s history a singlecommunication directorate, and a global network of 200 communicators. This drew together strategic communication, public diplomacy, media, internal communication and stakeholder engagement. He led the first change programme to mainstream communication.
Previously, Lucian led the UK government’s Media Emergency Forum, and co-chaired a Cabinet Office working group involving government departments, emergency services and media representatives to agree and implementnew rules of engagement after 9/11. He was the principal communications adviser to the government's Risk Group, and oversaw implementation of the Freedom of Information Act in all government communication directorates.
Between 2004 and 2006, he was Director of Communications, DCA (now Ministry of Justice), and chaired the department’s crisis management team. Between 2001 and 2004, he was Director of Communications and Chief Knowledge Officer at the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). Lucian was seconded to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) to run media operations at the height of the foot and mouth crisis in 2001 from his post as the government’s first Director of e-Communications. He launched the UK government’s first web portal, andestablished the firstUKonline marketing strategy.
Before joining the Civil Service, he was editorial director of a dot.com following a 16-year career with the BBC and ITV, as a television executive, programme editor and producer.
For seven years, Lucian led two not-for-profit organizations, the Tavistock Institute, and the Rory Peck Trust.

“Collaboration, by its very nature, means that traditional means of control - market and hierarchy - cannot be used to manage relations among participating organizations. Instead, it depends on the ongoing negotiation of relationships by individuals who are both participants in the collaboration, and, at the same time, accountable to and representative of the diverse organizations and communities involved in, and affected by, it.”
Hardy and Grant, 2005. Quoted in: Lotia and Hardy (2008) pp. 366-367
Case for optimism
“If we combine our efforts with other people’s efforts, we can make our resources go further, and achieve more impact.”
Steven Fisher, Deputy Head of Mission, British Embassy, Budapest
“Whether you are a manager in the public or private sector, collaboration taps a source of value that includes, but goes so much further than, price- the value of what people can accomplish together if they really apply themselves, and organizations support and develop them”.
Verna Stewart, Strategic Relationship Director, Strategic Development Solutions, Lloyds TSB
“Companies that do not transparently communicate their
sustainability performance are running out of excuses”
Sir Mark Moody-Stuart, Chairman, Anglo-American
Case for caution
“You have to be tough-minded and have enough sensitivity to make collaboration work. It’s not just people who have egos; organizations have egos too.”
Diplomat in one of the NATO missions, Brussels
Challenge for Social Collaboration
NGOs
Business
Government
Citizens
Collaboration
Business can be more strategic than government but expects government to deliver on any collaboration
NGO perspective: Are governments allies, targets or partners? Issues: independence, funding
Different tensions in role of NGOs:
advocacy, delivering services, enabling solutions or problem-solving, improving governance or transparency, harnessing new or existing markets
Corporate Social Responsibility: not just PR but business strategy
Governments alone can't achieve social goals. Private sector investment and responsibility & NGO expertise and networks needed.
We are not bystanders. We want solutions
Is our role as architects, builders & interested enablers as much as leaders?
Civil Society: evolution of roles
- NGOs can perform one or more of the following roles,
- regardless of whether they were large or small, global,
- national, regional or local:
- Advocacy: pursuit and promotion of policy objectives
- Delivery of services: complementing or substituting for government or other public service provision
- Enabling solutions or problem-solving, working with government or business
- Improving governance, rule of law, transparency
- Harnessing existing or new markets in countries where NGO credibility and reliability helps business achieve legitimacy and local support.

NGO rethinks strategy & priorities
Investment in IT
Organizations and sector address entire approach
Investment in human capital/training
New era where governments, businesses & NGOs work together seamlessly
Evolution of role of business
- Collaboration: innovation and productivity
- Intractable problems: business opportunities
- Shaping, not just responding to, economic environments
- Tapping invisible value: brand equity and reputation
- Civic action, not just compliance
The reasons behind these investments are straightforward: self-interest. Companies that rely on the natural resources and human capital of emerging markets are investing and instituting sustainable development practices and education initiatives in partnership with the U.S. government because both government foreign assistance programs and companies alike are dependent on the global economy. Because of this reliance, both the public and private sector are motivated to act.” James Thompson, US State Department
Coca-Cola Company invest millions in an alliance between USAID and local bottling facilities in Africa, Asia and South America to conserve water resources
Starbucks Corporation work with Verde Ventures, Calvert Foundation, EcoLogic Finance, Conservation International and USAID to finance more than $12m in loans for rural entrepreneurs in Latin & Central America
MTV provide technological resources to a $13m alliance between USAID and MTV Europe Foundation to increase awareness and prevent trafficking of women and children for forced labour and sexual abuse
Effective collaboration between business, governments and regulators
- Taking a strategic, long-term view of the regulatory framework in which business operates;
- Creating an effective dialogue between the regulator and those regulated;
- Recognizing that the languages of business and regulation can be different- and making the effort to understand those differences;
- Allocating time and resources to collaborating on the co-design of regulations;
- Investing in the development of the personal relationships and mutual trust that are necessary to achieved shared objectives.
Case study: M-PESA
- Vodafone and Safaricom, Kenya, with DFID funding, launched M-PESA, a mobile phone-based payment service that targeted customers in Kenya who didn’t have bank accounts.
- Lack of infrastructure in Kenya in fixed-line telephony, and in banking, ensured growth of pre-pay mobile telephones and a means to transfer money.
- DFID funding enabled the companies to spend more time on ‘needs assessment’ in the product development phase, brought expertise in the financial sector and gave the project a high profile.
- Stakeholders (Kenyan government, NGOs, International Organisations and private sector) have assisted with regulatory buy-in to the M-PESA service.
- Massive customer up-take in project’s first year indicates pent up demand for simple financial transaction services.
Following the London bombings of 7 July 2005, TIER went
into action to:
- Provide accurate, consistent information to reassure and inform visitors
- Promote a clear ‘business as usual’ message in UK and international media
- Ensure media worldwide and UK Government are given consistent messages from Britain’s tourism industry
- Limit speculation as to the possible financial impact of 7 July and provide the authoritive impact assessment
- Leverage opportunities to demonstrate consumer confidence and kickstart recovery.
The TIER campaign effectively brought together in a
collaborative arrangement Britain’s vast and fragmented
tourism industry to communicate with one voice.

Drivers of effective collaboration
To be effective, experience indicates that on the whole, collaboration
builders need to:
- Think of collaboration as part of a bigger play
2. Achieve results with genuine, more broad-based support Combine effectiveness with legitimacy, particularly if the collaboration itself can’t deliver changes, but the combined effort of others in society can, if motivated and inspired to behave differently.
- Keep up the focus and momentum, and secure meaningful involvement from most partners
4. Experiment, evolve and improve
Adapt to, and try to shape, immediate and wider environments- the collaborative world is not about winning an argument, but working together to do what’s right, now and in the future.
15 steps needed to implement a collaborative strategy
- Clarify the purpose
- Aim high
- Strive for commonality of interest
- Evaluate success
- Create value – and demonstrate values
- Understand the different contexts in which collaboration operates
- Use political intelligence
- Show long-term commitment
- Use all four types of knowledge
- Establish common principles
- Decide the timing
- Manage the dynamics
- Exploit creative potential
- Tap the undercurrents
- Tap the talent
- Aim high
Aiming high in collaboration means raising the sights
of what negotiations can produce in creating and
delivering value.
- Strive for commonality of interest
All the best negotiations aspire to reaching what
economists call the Pareto optimum - the point of
agreement which favours each side equally,
maximising the gains, and minimizing the losses.
Cycle of Collaboration: 7 Steps
- 1. Identify, assess, and act on the opportunity - political, economic and
- social dividends
- 2. Design collaboration, attract and select partners
- 3. Convene: gather information and build relationships
- 4. Frame challenge and opportunity; explore options and
- solutions
- 5. Align interests, focus the choice
- 6. Establish and require personal and organizational commitment
- 7. Decide, implement, review and learn

Collaboration: its impact on organizations
- Depending on context and environment, collaboration can become even more important, and the main way in which organizations shape their efforts.
- Collaboration provides a way of achieving what is not immediately possible, especially in a turbulent environment. It can become the engine for change and renewed growth.
- Collaboration can be seen as a temporary organization and transitional space in which to foster innovation and learning, essential for long-term survival.
- In the context of achieving social goals, governments can think as much about their role as architects and builders (shaping the conditions in which collaboration happens, and delivering their part in it), as about their role as leaders (taking the primary responsibility for securing results).
- Despite evidence of increasing collaboration as a source of business success, the full potential of collaboration has yet to be reached.
- Companies find themselves under social, as well as competitive, pressure. They are subject to new levels of transparency, whether in response to changes in corporate governance, or to public concerns on environment or consumer rights.
- Corporate social responsibility is a means for companies to better connect with their stakeholders and customers, as well as their own employees.
- NGOs can play a crucial role in delivering on social goals, particularly in development- but they need to better equipped for the challenges that lie ahead.

The Long Crisis, by Iona Miller 8/2009

Tavistock "Stink Tank" Controls Social Engineering & Reinvents the World in Distorted Form, Programming the Future with Lockdown Control from Cradle to Grave.
THE LONG CRISIS & PSYSTRAT
The geopolitical and psychosocial Game of Life is rigged. To understand mass psychology, you need to know the real rules of engagement. Why do you think there are so many global extinction stories on television now? Life as we have known it for mankind is under grave threat of extinction.
Even with radically reduced consumption per capita, the carrying capacity of the earth is 1/2 what the present population is - some argue much less. The planetary demographic momentum is that we are on track to double our global population in our children's lifetimes. It took from the big bang to 1824 to get 1billion on earth. But 15 billion will inhabit the planet in the blink of an eye. It makes population control sound necessary and desirable.
Why do you suppose even the commercials relate to collective crisis, economic, social, and mental distress? IRS and private debt, medical bankruptsy, foreclosure, pollution hazards, mood alteration? The louder and more often they call for attention, the more sure you can be they are part of the Pavlovian problem, not the solution. Drugs, including cigarettes and alcohol, cull the population and generate tremendous cashflow for hospitals andlegal systems.
There is a solution on sale for you to mitigate every distress, a cure for every ill. To be a "good" consumer now, you must be ecological and buy more investment purchases, even though you just lost 75% of your retirement funds. When you aren't being sold remedies, you are being fed fear in crisis after crisis. You had better get your mandatory vaccination soon. There are many ways for the psychological vampire to put "the bite" on you.
The real crisis is this war conducted inside your head by those who do not have your best interests at heart, by those who program you for exploitation while robbing you of rights and freedoms. It takes place somewhere along a utopian/dystopian spectrum, which ranges in the individual from euphoria to dysphoria.
Underlying forces are playing your underlying forces, modulating your moods like an emotional organ. Conflict, fear and trauma can be used to manipulate and control individuals and whole populations. Drugs are becoming ever more readily available, legally and illegally. Transnational drug trade supports even more black ops "social engineering" in other areas.
Drugs are no longer needed for psyops because ELF weapons have been created to conduct the secret war with electronic frequency generators that cause the brain to resonate at whatever level is programmed. Disease and dis-ease can be broadcast with microwave mind control. Crises play on our anxiety which is displaced fear. They also preoccupy us from noticing what is really going on.
The silent war -- mass psychological warfare -- for your mind has already been won, but not by you, yourself. PSYOPS is the weapon deployed in full-spectrum warfare and you are the target. The main issue for rulers and government has always been how to control the population at large. A huge psychosocial combine grinds the wheat from the chaff of human society. We've been systematically deprived of our freedoms and independence.
Given the means, it then follows that bending wills and the means to do so become imperatives. Violence is too crass and resource depleting. Bloodless efforts simply begin at the cradle and carry on relentlessly to the last breath. Programming, intimidation, coercion and persuasion are built into the system.
But how is the mind bent and toward what ends? The masses are bent through control of resources and the environment, mind control, massive manipulation, crisis and social turbulence. Nonprofit foundations have teamed with corporate, military and governmental entities to form a covert control force. Unintended consequences result. Under the guise of 'prevention' they create oppression.
Good intentions and even best practices don't always result in desireable effect. We also have to ask, "Desireable for whom?" Democracy has to be relearned in each generation or it is doomed to failure. The game is rigged by molding the worldview, values and desires of children.
Coercion can be masked as group process. Once you know how to teach democracy you can also subvert it for control. Nothing is as practical as a good theory. Feedback is a key ingredient. An attitude of acceptance is engendered early. Historically, drugs and terrorism have been used to control populations.
Tavistock institute is the primary purveyor of global manipulation and crowd control. The social influence of Tavistock cannot be overestimated in intelligence, education, mind control, media, psychiatry and other major arenas of culture. It is the source of the Human Potential Movement, encounter groups, and the "Tavistock Method," which induces and controls stress via "psychologically controlled environments" in order to make people give up firmly held beliefs under "peer pressure."
Like a deadly iceberg, the Tavistock agenda lurks below the conscious threshold of society. It is continuously working its way into the fabric of our being using its own memes and viral methodology. When they aren't playing to our fear, they are playing to our cultural narcissism -- the Madison Avenue concocted American Consumer, drunk on the American Dream of More.
Now is the time to sober up and realize your mind has been hijacked by commercial interests and you let them do it. It doesn't come as news to many because for years it has been going on hiding in plain sight. Long ago H.G. Wells wrote in The Time Machine of the dystopian future where humans were blissed-out "cattle" who were fed upon by underground trolls. Societal effects show, this blueprint has been followed metaphorically and literally.
EMERGENT MACRO-TRENDS
Mass psychology is first and foremost a political issue. Tavistock's vision and imperatives become self-fulfilling prophecies. Mastery of mass psychology is Tavistock's forte and signature which can be seen throughout the sociopolitical landscape.
Tavistock Institute is the social puppetmaster, shaping political, social, educational, and economic 'opinions'. Their specialty is command and control problems. Rand, Brookings Institute, and SRI are other key players. The A.K. Rice Institute is a US clone of Tavistock.
Smaller thinktanks are networked together doing reasearch on every facet of American life. For the average individual, the future isn't a chance to be new, but a chance to be had yet another time. However, the marks are finally wising up to covert policies aimed in their direction through education, media, medicine, business, technology and government.
Since 1920, Tavistock Clinic aims included psycholgocial warfare, social control, information control; and control of the hidden information environment. Practically, this means it has control mechanisms in academia, multimedia, intelligence, and medicine especially pharmaceuticals and mental health. In this toxic form, the mental health movement has meant just the opposite.
Tavistock Invented What You Should Believe
You have been "injected" in every phase of life with pre-formed beliefs about the nature of self, others and reality. Your mundane and spiritual experiences are contrived and controlled. There is no position you can occupy in the system without being affected. Now they want your genetic identity, as well. Crisis and transitions create confusion which makes us mentally vulnerable to imposed trance states.
The First waves from Tavistock were Freudian analysis and behavioral clinical psychology. Kurt Lewin's Group Dynamics led to the Human Potential Movement with Esalan and the transpersonal psychologies which describe generic categories for myth and religions and spiritual experience.
Lewin's equation said behavior was a function of the person and the environment, so they exerted maximal control on both with social psychology. The individual exists in dynamic tension with a field of coexisting factors and forces. There are behaviorial differences in how we work out the tension between our self-image and the environment or 'life space.' All methods have heavy trance-forming and hypnotic transactions embedded within them. They carry the aura of the shaman and the "white coat" mystique of medicine.
With therapeutic authority, they define what is sick, divergent or deviant behavior, what is socially acceptable, and what is insane. This system, coupled with the beliefs of science builds consensus reality and generates a worldview or paradigm, which in turn controls individual beliefs, thoughts, emotions, feelings and behavior.
Jung's Tavistock Lectures on Analytical Psychology provided a blueprint of the mind - psychological types, levels of the psyche and archetypes of the personal and collective unconscious. Knowledge of psychological types and the multi-layered psyche made categorized profiling of character types possible.
Jung's theory of the complex made word association tests, biofeedback and lie detectors a reality applied to law enforcement and interrogation. Jung's dream research was used to target iconic dream imagery that could be injected into media, advertising and beliefs. His theories of the Shadow, or collective adversary, and projection have been used to conjure up enemies and scapegoats.
Psychoretroactive Research
This may never have been Jung's explicit intent, but it is a concrete result and effect of his research under the Tavistock agenda, which sponsored him at the time. The deliberate exploitation of symbols and manipulation of archetypes, images and icons was born. It is the root of cults of personality and celebrity, as well as falsely so-called "reality TV." Charisma, amplified rapport, is the secret force of mind control.
The Tavistock agenda identifies and creates macro-trends, such as the "New Left" and militant activism as counter point to Neocon manipulation through radical religious policies. In other words, it is a primary polarizing entity at work throughout all levels of society, playing both sides against the middle. It does even better creating outside Adversaries through propaganda and projection, such as the distracting wars on terror, drugs, poverty and cancer -- all of which seem unresolvable. Viable solutions simply aren't allowed and are actively suppressed.
A Rockefeller grant gave birth to the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations in London in 1947. Tavistock joined with Kurt Lewin's Research Center for Group Dynamics (RCGD) at the University of Michigan the next year and begin disseminating human relations literature, relating theory to practice, including promotion of change, engineering consensus, mass persuasion, breakdown of cognitive structure, and overcoming resistance. [Historical details at www.newswithviews.com/Cuddy/d...s122.htm and educate-yourself.org/nwo/nwo...t.shtml]
Tavistock sets national agendas as part of the global shadow government. It used covert techniques to sell the war with Germany, the state of Israel, the Domino Theory and the Cold War for financial gain. Deliberate creation of crisis is a primary tool of social engineering and global drama. Other networked thinktanks are its dissemination organ. They create peer pressure throughout all strata of society designed to break people down into consensus conformity.
Globalist Change Agents
Tavistock’s agenda is used to create and topple governments. Tavistock’s objective is to eventually control entire populations between the use of drugs and sophisticated mind control techniques, including group dynamics. Its range of disciplines include anthropology, economics, organizational behavior, political science, psychoanalysis, psychology and sociology.
Any technique which helps to break down the family unit, and family inculcated principles of religion, honor, patriotism and sexual behavior, is used by the Tavistock scientists as weapons of crowd control. They are currently involved in a war of extermination on the small American farmer through usery and bankruptsy by giant land trusts.
Futurist programs identify discontinuities and emerging dilemmas. Discontinuities challenge business as usual and dilemmas demand new ways of thinking about complex problems. Together, discontinuities and dilemmas provide a vista of new practices and points of view that shape tomorrow's organizations and today's choices.
Tavistock determined human psychophysical "breaking points." Following WW I, Tavistock Institute and Clinic were established in London. Originally, this was a well-intentioned program to find ways of preventing the mental horrors of WW I. Stress syndrome was then called “shell shock,” but is now termed PTSD. Sigmund Freud was the founding father of Tavistock methodology. Later, Tavistock commissioned The Tavistock Lectures by Carl Jung on the nature of the deep subconscious mind.
Over the years, the emphasis changed until there was a sinister slant to the research in eugenics, political and cultural engineering by the mid-1930's. There are rumors of an earlier version of Tavistock, which trained Lenin, and later after WWI, Adolph Hitler.
By WWII, Tavistock was a real MI 6 Agency and its stress-related techniques were well advanced. They knew how to relieve mental, and emotional pain and also amplify it, physically and psychologically. In fact, Tavistock’s recommendations for excessive use of force were used tragically by Winston Churchill in the terrifying fire bombing of Dresden and Hamburg.
Sigmund Freud was Tavistock's "prophet" and first director, followed by his daughter, Anna. Tavistock programs were used to program the postwar leaders of Germany's government, churches, schools, corporations, etc., from among the POWs who were easy to manipulate.
Research into the use of microwave weapons and their use for mind control began in 1950s at the Tavistock Institute, one of Britain's leading psychiatric research establishments. The UK institute was researching into ways of mind controlling the British population without them knowing. It's main US branch is in the University of Michigan. The same principles were used to create pop culture and counterculture, so even societal rebellion is a programmed trend to channel and discredit opposing energy.
Freud's nephew, a principle at Tavistock Institute, Edward Bernays is the godfather of propaganda and the "engineered consent" of Madison Avenue. He took Freud's principles of mass psychology and applied them to social exploitation, numbing and manipulation of the masses.
Popular culture is engineered to brainwash each of us from cradle to grave. Trends and megatrends are manufactured, engineered by corporations. Nothing happens in politics or society by accident.
The Nazi's employed techniques outlined by Bernays in the book PROPAGANDA, and later brought them to the US under Operation Paperclip where they were picked up by CIA and subsequently morphed into mind control programs such as cyborg assassins and MK Ultra. Similar programs were instututed in the USSR around the same time. CIA also spreads propaganda across the entire political spectrum through founding and funding front organizations.
In the wake of the Enlightenment, the notion arose of an intellectual elite, a distinguished social stratum that can be traced far back into classical history. Elite classes of intellectuals or well-educated people emerged in most European countries.
The intelligentsia is a social class of people engaged in complex mental and creative labor directed to the development and dissemination of culture, encompassing intellectuals and social groups close to them (e.g., artists, mystics, psychologists, psychiatrists, scientists and teachers).Bohemians were the forerunner of what we can call the ‘psychedelic intelligentsia’ and today’s New Age spiritual fusion.
Utopian socialism is the philosophical root of modern socialist thought. Anyone can be a utopian socialist, but the trend emerged in the first quarter of the 19th century. From the mid-19th century onwards, the other branches of socialism overtook utopianism in popularity.
Societies are cyclic, always in a continual process of constructing themselves and destructing from within. Utopian socialists are forerunners of communal hippie life, intentional communities and cooperatives. Utopian nostalgia is exemplified in the Star Trek and Star Wars philosophy. Its dystopian reflection is The Matrix, the postmodern Brave New World where nothing is believable or trustable.
Quasi-socialist intellectuals created hypothetical visions of perfect egalitarian and communal societies without actually concerning themselves with the manner in which these societies could be sustained. Yet, they shared a dream, which for the world at large has become a mind control nightmare.
The Occult Revival
Theosophical studies cover the origin and development of the cosmos and human development in all the planes of being from its beginning to its end. It is a philosophy of process, transformation, and evolution toward an extraordinary human potential. Out of this Utopian and scientific socialism came Theosophy, British” guild" socialism, the Fabian Society, Bertrand Russell, H. G. Wells, Tavistock and iconoclast Aleister Crowley.
Aleister Crowley is an infamous occultist. Occultism has served as "an alternative account of the world, available to people dissatisfied with the orthodox view of things, scientifically and politically, since the late 18th century. Older than Theosophy with roots in kabbalah, Hermetics, and pantheism, Magick was a practical application of causing change to conform with will using similar principles. They both embrace the Hermetic Axiom: “As Above; So Below,” which reflects the identity of man as a microcosm.
The Cryptocracy, through economics and mass mind control is involved in the transformation or "alchemical processing" of mass consciousness by psychological mind manipulation.

What's New with My Subject? Taking Stock: Mind Control, Psychedelics & Cold War Culture
In Colonial America, to keep them in line, the unruly were put in medieval stocks and pillories as a relatively mild form of punishment and humiliation. The public display was part of a social spectacle designed to encourage conformity and suppress the individual thinker and those committing misdemeanors. Those condemned to the stocks were subject to a variety of abuses.
Today, our minds can be tortured, directed and contained through subtler but more nefarious means. We are still put in mental stocks by megamedia and Big Pharma, and their combination – pharmaceutical adverts. Chemical straightjackets range from Ritalin, to antidepressants, to hormones, prescriptions and recreational drugs.
Paradoxically, there is an alleged War on Drugs by the very governments and agencies who are accused of profiteering on Black Market importation and distribution. CIA has been implicated in the infamous "Air America" Golden Triangle heroin importations in the Viet Nam era, cocaine running during Iran Contra, the crack epidemic in American ghettos, poppy production in Afghanistan (largest crop ever in 2006), and in promoting Orange Sunshine LSD through the Brotherhood of Eternal Love, to derail and discredit the peace movement in the 1960’s.
This follows an older tradition, an aspect of psychological warfare. British profiteers grew narcotics in India and forcibly sold them to China during the Opium Wars. Even tea was notorious during the American Revolution.Black Ops have a history of being supported via illicit drug trade. Anyone who is the end-user drives the whole karmic chain of supply and demand. And, it’s a bloody trail.
All drugs, even alcohol, tobacco and sugar are big business. It’s all part of The Spectacle, whether the source is nation-states, megacorporate drug companies (Big Pharma), global drug rings, or designer independents.Humans are hardwired with a “craving for ecstasy.” Social issues include suppression of direct mystical experience (religious experimentation vs. “pharmacratic inquisition”), modulating your own pleasure/pain axis, sexuality, and self-determination (individual freedom vs. state control).
Drugs rule, or he who controls the drugs rules and controls by means of drugs and the enormous cash slush funds they generate. Destruction of the real economy and the replacement of development with looting on a global scale is already in an advanced stage throughout the world.
We’ve developed even more cruel and unusual punishment for would-be “free thinkers,” and dissidents since the era of MK Ultra, the CIA mind control programs. During the Cold War, the CIA attempted to outdo Soviet and Asian brainwashing techniques and close the “mind control gap.”
With the Manchurian Candidate, they tried to secretely manufacture the perfect assassin – a cyborg. Then the agency experimented with a variety of drugs designed to neutralize or disable the enemy, or to use as truth serums. They also used electroshock, sensory deprivation, psychotronics, and radical hypnosis. Brain washing wipes the mind and numbs the emotions; reprogramming plugs in new "software" that contours thoughts and feelings, and can trigger behaviors at the will of the programmer.
Though it was a leading candidate, LSD was determined no good for mind control, but that didn’t mean it couldn’t be an influential social control. Once the drug became associated with the counterculture, it was banned (1967), which only made it more attractive. Yet it still worked its magic by deflecting energy and attention into hedonistic druggie lifestyles instead of confrontational political activism.
Through its Psychological Warfare Division, CIA-controlled media used CIA promoted drugs to discredit the peace movement. It used CBS, The New York Times, Associated Press, United Press International, even The National Enquirer, and other major United States media to maintain its control over sensitive subjects. This gave new meaning to the phrase, “the medium is the message” – infowars.
DeWitt Poole became president of the CIA's largest single propaganda effort of the WWII era, the National Committee for a Free Europe. Another prominent board member of Public Opinion Quarterly was CBS executive Frank Stanton. He was also a longtime director of both Radio Free Europe and the Free Europe Fund.
This CIA-financed organization was established to conduct political advertising campaigns in the United States and to launder CIA funds destined for Poole's National Committee for a Free Europe. This influence over the POQ editorial board and editorial content of the field's most prestigious academic journal was only a symptom of a deeper and more organic bond. The primary nexus between government and social science is an economic one so pervasive it makes any crisis of relations with the government a crisis for social science as a whole.
Facts about the CIA's PSYWAR propaganda and censorship relationship with certain American media executives came to light in the1975 hearings of the Church Committee: United States Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities, chaired by U. S. Senator Frank Church, (D) Idaho (Hansen).
Carl Bernstein reported that in addition to The New York Times, "CBS was unquestionably the CIA's most valuable broadcasting asset. CBS president William Paley and Allen Dulles enjoyed an easy working and social relationship (with the CIA). Over the years, the CBS network provided cover for CIA employees, including at least one well-known foreign correspondent and several stringers; it supplied out takes of news film to the CIA; established a formal channel of communication between the Washington bureau chief and the Agency; gave the Agency access to the CBS news film library; and allowed reports by CBS correspondents to the Washington and New York newsrooms to be routinely monitored by the CIA."
The New York Times reported March 24, 2001, that at the time of Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961, the CIA had a relationship with the Associated Press and the UPI wire services so that the CIA could actually place propaganda stories directly onto the international wires through those agencies. In other words, the CIA could literally write propaganda stories for willing distribution globally by the wire services.

THE LONG CRISIS & PSYSTRAT
The geopolitical and psychosocial Game of Life is rigged. To understand mass psychology, you need to know the real rules of engagement. Why do you think there are so many global extinction stories on television now? Life as we have known it for mankind is under grave threat of extinction.
Even with radically reduced consumption per capita, the carrying capacity of the earth is 1/2 what the present population is - some argue much less. The planetary demographic momentum is that we are on track to double our global population in our children's lifetimes. It took from the big bang to 1824 to get 1billion on earth. But 15 billion will inhabit the planet in the blink of an eye. It makes population control sound necessary and desirable.
Why do you suppose even the commercials relate to collective crisis, economic, social, and mental distress? IRS and private debt, medical bankruptsy, foreclosure, pollution hazards, mood alteration? The louder and more often they call for attention, the more sure you can be they are part of the Pavlovian problem, not the solution. Drugs, including cigarettes and alcohol, cull the population and generate tremendous cashflow for hospitals andlegal systems.
There is a solution on sale for you to mitigate every distress, a cure for every ill. To be a "good" consumer now, you must be ecological and buy more investment purchases, even though you just lost 75% of your retirement funds. When you aren't being sold remedies, you are being fed fear in crisis after crisis. You had better get your mandatory vaccination soon. There are many ways for the psychological vampire to put "the bite" on you.
The real crisis is this war conducted inside your head by those who do not have your best interests at heart, by those who program you for exploitation while robbing you of rights and freedoms. It takes place somewhere along a utopian/dystopian spectrum, which ranges in the individual from euphoria to dysphoria.
Underlying forces are playing your underlying forces, modulating your moods like an emotional organ. Conflict, fear and trauma can be used to manipulate and control individuals and whole populations. Drugs are becoming ever more readily available, legally and illegally. Transnational drug trade supports even more black ops "social engineering" in other areas.
Drugs are no longer needed for psyops because ELF weapons have been created to conduct the secret war with electronic frequency generators that cause the brain to resonate at whatever level is programmed. Disease and dis-ease can be broadcast with microwave mind control. Crises play on our anxiety which is displaced fear. They also preoccupy us from noticing what is really going on.
The silent war -- mass psychological warfare -- for your mind has already been won, but not by you, yourself. PSYOPS is the weapon deployed in full-spectrum warfare and you are the target. The main issue for rulers and government has always been how to control the population at large. A huge psychosocial combine grinds the wheat from the chaff of human society. We've been systematically deprived of our freedoms and independence.
Given the means, it then follows that bending wills and the means to do so become imperatives. Violence is too crass and resource depleting. Bloodless efforts simply begin at the cradle and carry on relentlessly to the last breath. Programming, intimidation, coercion and persuasion are built into the system.
But how is the mind bent and toward what ends? The masses are bent through control of resources and the environment, mind control, massive manipulation, crisis and social turbulence. Nonprofit foundations have teamed with corporate, military and governmental entities to form a covert control force. Unintended consequences result. Under the guise of 'prevention' they create oppression.
Good intentions and even best practices don't always result in desireable effect. We also have to ask, "Desireable for whom?" Democracy has to be relearned in each generation or it is doomed to failure. The game is rigged by molding the worldview, values and desires of children.
Coercion can be masked as group process. Once you know how to teach democracy you can also subvert it for control. Nothing is as practical as a good theory. Feedback is a key ingredient. An attitude of acceptance is engendered early. Historically, drugs and terrorism have been used to control populations.
Tavistock institute is the primary purveyor of global manipulation and crowd control. The social influence of Tavistock cannot be overestimated in intelligence, education, mind control, media, psychiatry and other major arenas of culture. It is the source of the Human Potential Movement, encounter groups, and the "Tavistock Method," which induces and controls stress via "psychologically controlled environments" in order to make people give up firmly held beliefs under "peer pressure."
Like a deadly iceberg, the Tavistock agenda lurks below the conscious threshold of society. It is continuously working its way into the fabric of our being using its own memes and viral methodology. When they aren't playing to our fear, they are playing to our cultural narcissism -- the Madison Avenue concocted American Consumer, drunk on the American Dream of More.
Now is the time to sober up and realize your mind has been hijacked by commercial interests and you let them do it. It doesn't come as news to many because for years it has been going on hiding in plain sight. Long ago H.G. Wells wrote in The Time Machine of the dystopian future where humans were blissed-out "cattle" who were fed upon by underground trolls. Societal effects show, this blueprint has been followed metaphorically and literally.
EMERGENT MACRO-TRENDS
Mass psychology is first and foremost a political issue. Tavistock's vision and imperatives become self-fulfilling prophecies. Mastery of mass psychology is Tavistock's forte and signature which can be seen throughout the sociopolitical landscape.
Tavistock Institute is the social puppetmaster, shaping political, social, educational, and economic 'opinions'. Their specialty is command and control problems. Rand, Brookings Institute, and SRI are other key players. The A.K. Rice Institute is a US clone of Tavistock.
Smaller thinktanks are networked together doing reasearch on every facet of American life. For the average individual, the future isn't a chance to be new, but a chance to be had yet another time. However, the marks are finally wising up to covert policies aimed in their direction through education, media, medicine, business, technology and government.
Since 1920, Tavistock Clinic aims included psycholgocial warfare, social control, information control; and control of the hidden information environment. Practically, this means it has control mechanisms in academia, multimedia, intelligence, and medicine especially pharmaceuticals and mental health. In this toxic form, the mental health movement has meant just the opposite.
Tavistock Invented What You Should Believe
You have been "injected" in every phase of life with pre-formed beliefs about the nature of self, others and reality. Your mundane and spiritual experiences are contrived and controlled. There is no position you can occupy in the system without being affected. Now they want your genetic identity, as well. Crisis and transitions create confusion which makes us mentally vulnerable to imposed trance states.
The First waves from Tavistock were Freudian analysis and behavioral clinical psychology. Kurt Lewin's Group Dynamics led to the Human Potential Movement with Esalan and the transpersonal psychologies which describe generic categories for myth and religions and spiritual experience.
Lewin's equation said behavior was a function of the person and the environment, so they exerted maximal control on both with social psychology. The individual exists in dynamic tension with a field of coexisting factors and forces. There are behaviorial differences in how we work out the tension between our self-image and the environment or 'life space.' All methods have heavy trance-forming and hypnotic transactions embedded within them. They carry the aura of the shaman and the "white coat" mystique of medicine.
With therapeutic authority, they define what is sick, divergent or deviant behavior, what is socially acceptable, and what is insane. This system, coupled with the beliefs of science builds consensus reality and generates a worldview or paradigm, which in turn controls individual beliefs, thoughts, emotions, feelings and behavior.
Jung's Tavistock Lectures on Analytical Psychology provided a blueprint of the mind - psychological types, levels of the psyche and archetypes of the personal and collective unconscious. Knowledge of psychological types and the multi-layered psyche made categorized profiling of character types possible.
Jung's theory of the complex made word association tests, biofeedback and lie detectors a reality applied to law enforcement and interrogation. Jung's dream research was used to target iconic dream imagery that could be injected into media, advertising and beliefs. His theories of the Shadow, or collective adversary, and projection have been used to conjure up enemies and scapegoats.
Psychoretroactive Research
This may never have been Jung's explicit intent, but it is a concrete result and effect of his research under the Tavistock agenda, which sponsored him at the time. The deliberate exploitation of symbols and manipulation of archetypes, images and icons was born. It is the root of cults of personality and celebrity, as well as falsely so-called "reality TV." Charisma, amplified rapport, is the secret force of mind control.
The Tavistock agenda identifies and creates macro-trends, such as the "New Left" and militant activism as counter point to Neocon manipulation through radical religious policies. In other words, it is a primary polarizing entity at work throughout all levels of society, playing both sides against the middle. It does even better creating outside Adversaries through propaganda and projection, such as the distracting wars on terror, drugs, poverty and cancer -- all of which seem unresolvable. Viable solutions simply aren't allowed and are actively suppressed.
A Rockefeller grant gave birth to the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations in London in 1947. Tavistock joined with Kurt Lewin's Research Center for Group Dynamics (RCGD) at the University of Michigan the next year and begin disseminating human relations literature, relating theory to practice, including promotion of change, engineering consensus, mass persuasion, breakdown of cognitive structure, and overcoming resistance. [Historical details at www.newswithviews.com/Cuddy/d...s122.htm and educate-yourself.org/nwo/nwo...t.shtml]
Tavistock sets national agendas as part of the global shadow government. It used covert techniques to sell the war with Germany, the state of Israel, the Domino Theory and the Cold War for financial gain. Deliberate creation of crisis is a primary tool of social engineering and global drama. Other networked thinktanks are its dissemination organ. They create peer pressure throughout all strata of society designed to break people down into consensus conformity.
Globalist Change Agents
Tavistock’s agenda is used to create and topple governments. Tavistock’s objective is to eventually control entire populations between the use of drugs and sophisticated mind control techniques, including group dynamics. Its range of disciplines include anthropology, economics, organizational behavior, political science, psychoanalysis, psychology and sociology.
Any technique which helps to break down the family unit, and family inculcated principles of religion, honor, patriotism and sexual behavior, is used by the Tavistock scientists as weapons of crowd control. They are currently involved in a war of extermination on the small American farmer through usery and bankruptsy by giant land trusts.
Futurist programs identify discontinuities and emerging dilemmas. Discontinuities challenge business as usual and dilemmas demand new ways of thinking about complex problems. Together, discontinuities and dilemmas provide a vista of new practices and points of view that shape tomorrow's organizations and today's choices.
Tavistock determined human psychophysical "breaking points." Following WW I, Tavistock Institute and Clinic were established in London. Originally, this was a well-intentioned program to find ways of preventing the mental horrors of WW I. Stress syndrome was then called “shell shock,” but is now termed PTSD. Sigmund Freud was the founding father of Tavistock methodology. Later, Tavistock commissioned The Tavistock Lectures by Carl Jung on the nature of the deep subconscious mind.
Over the years, the emphasis changed until there was a sinister slant to the research in eugenics, political and cultural engineering by the mid-1930's. There are rumors of an earlier version of Tavistock, which trained Lenin, and later after WWI, Adolph Hitler.
By WWII, Tavistock was a real MI 6 Agency and its stress-related techniques were well advanced. They knew how to relieve mental, and emotional pain and also amplify it, physically and psychologically. In fact, Tavistock’s recommendations for excessive use of force were used tragically by Winston Churchill in the terrifying fire bombing of Dresden and Hamburg.
Sigmund Freud was Tavistock's "prophet" and first director, followed by his daughter, Anna. Tavistock programs were used to program the postwar leaders of Germany's government, churches, schools, corporations, etc., from among the POWs who were easy to manipulate.
Research into the use of microwave weapons and their use for mind control began in 1950s at the Tavistock Institute, one of Britain's leading psychiatric research establishments. The UK institute was researching into ways of mind controlling the British population without them knowing. It's main US branch is in the University of Michigan. The same principles were used to create pop culture and counterculture, so even societal rebellion is a programmed trend to channel and discredit opposing energy.
Freud's nephew, a principle at Tavistock Institute, Edward Bernays is the godfather of propaganda and the "engineered consent" of Madison Avenue. He took Freud's principles of mass psychology and applied them to social exploitation, numbing and manipulation of the masses.
Popular culture is engineered to brainwash each of us from cradle to grave. Trends and megatrends are manufactured, engineered by corporations. Nothing happens in politics or society by accident.
The Nazi's employed techniques outlined by Bernays in the book PROPAGANDA, and later brought them to the US under Operation Paperclip where they were picked up by CIA and subsequently morphed into mind control programs such as cyborg assassins and MK Ultra. Similar programs were instututed in the USSR around the same time. CIA also spreads propaganda across the entire political spectrum through founding and funding front organizations.
In the wake of the Enlightenment, the notion arose of an intellectual elite, a distinguished social stratum that can be traced far back into classical history. Elite classes of intellectuals or well-educated people emerged in most European countries.
The intelligentsia is a social class of people engaged in complex mental and creative labor directed to the development and dissemination of culture, encompassing intellectuals and social groups close to them (e.g., artists, mystics, psychologists, psychiatrists, scientists and teachers).Bohemians were the forerunner of what we can call the ‘psychedelic intelligentsia’ and today’s New Age spiritual fusion.
Utopian socialism is the philosophical root of modern socialist thought. Anyone can be a utopian socialist, but the trend emerged in the first quarter of the 19th century. From the mid-19th century onwards, the other branches of socialism overtook utopianism in popularity.
Societies are cyclic, always in a continual process of constructing themselves and destructing from within. Utopian socialists are forerunners of communal hippie life, intentional communities and cooperatives. Utopian nostalgia is exemplified in the Star Trek and Star Wars philosophy. Its dystopian reflection is The Matrix, the postmodern Brave New World where nothing is believable or trustable.
Quasi-socialist intellectuals created hypothetical visions of perfect egalitarian and communal societies without actually concerning themselves with the manner in which these societies could be sustained. Yet, they shared a dream, which for the world at large has become a mind control nightmare.
The Occult Revival
Theosophical studies cover the origin and development of the cosmos and human development in all the planes of being from its beginning to its end. It is a philosophy of process, transformation, and evolution toward an extraordinary human potential. Out of this Utopian and scientific socialism came Theosophy, British” guild" socialism, the Fabian Society, Bertrand Russell, H. G. Wells, Tavistock and iconoclast Aleister Crowley.
Aleister Crowley is an infamous occultist. Occultism has served as "an alternative account of the world, available to people dissatisfied with the orthodox view of things, scientifically and politically, since the late 18th century. Older than Theosophy with roots in kabbalah, Hermetics, and pantheism, Magick was a practical application of causing change to conform with will using similar principles. They both embrace the Hermetic Axiom: “As Above; So Below,” which reflects the identity of man as a microcosm.
The Cryptocracy, through economics and mass mind control is involved in the transformation or "alchemical processing" of mass consciousness by psychological mind manipulation. With the help of these foundations and secret societies, experiments in world shaping continue multimedia and military campaigns. The goal is social engineering -- to seed and control megatrends so the masses live as controlled puppets – wage slaves -- of the ruling elite.
Occult societies have a long tradition of influence peddling and providing covers for espionage. They are conduits of trust that transcend national borders and can cover a spy network. Naturally, occultists influenced one anothers’ beliefs, whether it was acknowledged or not.
Black intelligence ops, “Esoterics” has always been a department in most intelligence services. In MI6, it was called the Occult Bureau. The SS also had an Occult Bureau. The Watch were FDR’s supersecret team for occult countermeasures, arcane assassinations, paranormal and psychic investigation. After the war, The Watch redirected its interest to UFO phenomena.
