Review of Wilson Bryant Key, The Age of Manipulation, New York: Henry Holt, 1989.
“Orwell’s 1984 actually occurred around 1934. We were just too busy to notice.” Marshall McLuhan
There are many types of subliminal technology. The most common involves placing verbal messages in soundtracks at low volume (below the conscious threshold) and visual images in graphics and video.
“Consciously perceived reality” is a brain construction, an oversimplification or snapshot of complex data perceived by the senses. Everyone processes sensory data slightly differently. The process of perception can be manipulated in soundtracks and videos by inserting a message the lasts for a brief moment. The idea is that the subconscious mind will perceive it, but the conscious mind won’t. The technology is not perfect because some people are able to perceive the subliminals consciously while others only indicate perception at the subconscious level after testing. (more…)

The early history of TV is really the story of the radio and vaudeville acts being gradually replaced by the rock and roll acts, the sitcoms, and the dirty comics. This trendline of elevating sex talk and sex imagery wiped out the old humanist popular culture and replaced it with the vulgar liberal pop culture. The appeal to sensation killed the appeal to human values.
But the key to understanding the history of TV is that the appeal to sensation and trashy liberal values was deliberately induced to further the Marxist agenda of takeover.

“We are compelled to forget by the collage style of the mass media.” Milan Kundera
We were thinking about media addiction and wondering why there are so few capable writers on modern media. Then it came to us. The obvious answer is that there are many ways of approaching the study of media, and most commentators ignore the fundamental reality that the media are designed to serve the New World Order control tyranny by trapping people in fantasy trances.

We’ve been preoccupied with explaining how to reclaim your identity and find your warrior by escaping from liberal mind control, but here are a few old stories of interest that we gathered during the past few weeks. These stories are stale by now, but you can use them as a test to make sure you have a grasp of the basic goals of the New World Order controllers and the trendline to total tyranny. (more…)

Review of Rebecca Lemov, World as Laboratory, New York: Hill and Wang, 2005.
Around 1915 the public came to believe in Freud’s concept of the subconscious mind and a need for self-analysis. This false belief led to a search for a control mechanism to mediate the flood of subconscious impulses (unconscious sex and aggression drives) that many believed were constantly motivating human behavior. But the idea of a deeper unconscious self conflicted with the behaviorist idea of the self as nothing more than conditioned stimulus-response habits. This difference in mental models split psychology into two competing camps.
In 1927 Harold Lasswell performed psychoanalysis upon a patient whose physiological responses were monitored by electrodes hooked up to measuring machines. From his experiments developed the polygraph and various scientific torture devices. Lasswell’s research was banned as both the psychotherapists and the behaviorists hated the linking of the two schools of psychology. However, a later group of psychologists that included Neal Miller, Hobart Mowrer, Robert Sears, Lenard Doob, and John Dollard attempted to isolate and control mental function at Yale University.

Review of Rebecca Lemov, World as Laboratory, New York: Hill and Wang, 2005.
Social engineering was funded by Rockefeller grants of several billion dollars (in today’s money) beginning in the 1920s. Beardsley Ruml articulated the vision of joining the various social sciences into a results-oriented synthesis for population control. Out of these experiments came the modern focus group with the one-way mirror, mass polling, the polygraph, and mental tests for motivation, intelligence, loyalty, and aptitude. Psychologists learned how to monitor and quantify inner states, then how to create the state they wanted through stimulus-response conditioning. Later, drug experiments, psychosurgery, and cultural anthropology were added to the arsenal of techniques of control. More recently, mind-machine combinations and interactions, nanotechnology, and bioengineering were added to the psychological control arsenal. (more…)

“If you are not aware of being manipulated, you are being manipulated.”
We are following up on our review of Descartes’ Error with a few helpful tips for undoing your liberal brainwashing and reclaiming your true identity.
First, understand that brain science is conducted by materialist determinists and so all theories about mind/brain interaction will be reductionist. Science assumes that all causes are materialist and all outcomes rely on the probability calculus. Scientists cannot operate any other way. Scientists cannot operate any other way and get funding.
