CHAPTER 9 THE SCIENCE OF MIND MANIPULATION BY PSYCHOLOGICAL PROGRAMMING METHODS
S&W bring us one of the more straightforward chapters detailing a few (unconnected) aspects of programming outside of the sex-drugs-and-Wizard-of-Oz system they’ve previously discussed.
They describe witnessing a young Satanic family in action. They were at a restaurant early in the afternoon having what the father called “breakfast.” S&W listened in as the mother and father quizzed their pre-school aged son on various trivia in rapid-fire fashion. The boy responded correctly and emotionlessly. The little girls with them dissociated, sang programming cues and behaved exactly as their parent told them. They were denied food, even when the staff was so impressed with their model behavior that they offered the children free ice cream.
Speaking as a satanic-conspiracy skeptic, their description is fascinating. What could they have really seen? How much of what they tell us is real?
Second, I asked the father what the age of his children were and he didn’t know, or acted like he didn’t know. Then he blurted out, they are 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years old. His wife knew that that answer must have looked bogus to us, and she reprimanded him, “You don’t even know the age of your children.”
To which he replied, “Yes, they are 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.” He second answer was equally implausible, but his wife didn’t protest, and the poor mind controlled children were experiencing just one more element of Satanic mind control.
They are not even allowed to realize how old they are. Dates, and times, and ages are kept very confused in the children’s minds for secrecy and control.
Not only that, but by giving a hypnotic induction “1, 2, 3 ...” the father had lowered each of the alters which were holding the bodies of his children into a deeper trance.
Whatever really happened, they use the interaction to explain that much of the programming is training the victim to respond exactly as the programmer wishes. In order to achieve this they are subjected to extreme inconsistencies. They learn that their confusion will never lift and their survival depends on submission.
When leniency is alternated with kindness, the effect is devastating and disconcerting because the person loses the ability to predict what is going to happen.
S&W draw out the parallels between mind-control programming and the practices of non-Illuminati cults which are generally known. The individual submits his entire being to the leadership, even giving up the ability to think for himself.
The duo discuss the use of isolation to reinforce programming and then Springmeier begins a tangent about graphology, or handwriting analysis. This is interesting for two reasons. The first is that it represents the appearance of a technique sorely missing from this book, the segue. The second is because it rings a bell our discussion rang earlier.
Apparently, Springmeier is a bit of an expert in neuro-linguistic programming, or NLP, which we discussed in Chapter 5.
A summary for the, er, uninitiated. NLP is a therapeutic perspective derived from Alfred Korzybski’s General Semantics, Milton Erickson’s method of hypnosis and the experience of highly effective therapists. Though it has a great deal of interpretive and curative insights, its focus on quick-fix techniques lends itself to quackery--an online search filtering through a lot of scams.
The basic idea behind NLP is that we operate in the world according to the “map” we’ve developed through our sensory experience. In this model, the difference between mind and body, between thought, emotion and sensory experience, is illusory. They are inseparable parts of a whole. For example, when one feels happy, one's physical demeanor changes, from expression to voice to posture and beyond.
As I mentioned previously, much of the thinking is most easily explained by the term, “Fake it till you make it.” Rather than waiting for one's feelings to drive one's actions, it’s just as easy to adjust one’s external expressions to alter one’s internal state. Act in the manner of one who is happy and confident and eventually one will feel happy and confident. (This is an extremely limited description of NLP.)
Springmeier, who tells us he is a certified graphologist, discusses handwriting as an example of this principle. The hundreds of tiny movements one’s hand muscles make while writing are a reflection of the writer’s internal state. Programmers use handwriting to analyze the stresses that an alter personality is hiding. They then train the alter to write in the manner of one who isn’t experiencing those stresses. In other words, they teach the alter to fake it until they make it.
Did I say that S&W had employed a segue? Well, they didn’t but they could have. There are a couple of entries between the handwriting analysis and the section on NLP. These are about using behavioral psychology to modify a victim’s behavior and how programmers convince slaves that the ultimate cause of their misery is the programmers’ enemy rather than the programmers themselves.
We’re given a crash course in NLP which really should have come much earlier in the book. Instead of trying to divine how S&W were describing the mind, they could have laid out this framework and built upon it. The hypnotic cues described earlier are better explained as “anchors,” which connect sensory experience to desired states. Internal-world programming is “reframing as metaphor.” S&W’s book is influential despite itself--what would the conspiracy world look like if they had written it well?
Chapter 10 discusses spiritual methods of control.
