(can be sung to the tune “I Will Follow You”).
By Mary W Maxwell, PhD, LLB.
In 1983, Ed Griffin interviewed Russian defector Yuri Bezmenov. There was no Youtube then, but it’s been made into a Youtube video. A seven-minute investment of your time will be quite rewarding. This Russian guy knew everything about how to condition Americans. And he didn’t like doing it!
Bezmenov says his assignment was “demoralization.” He and colleagues were told to “change the perception of reality to such an extent that, despite the amount of information available, no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the defense of himself, his family, his community or his country.” Wow.
I wonder if Ivan Pavlov was, like Bezmenov, a sort of Russian worker for Tavistock. Pavlov won the 1904 Nobel Prize in physiology, for making a dog salivate when a bell rang, as the dog had been conditioned to associate the bell with a nice juicy steak.
Although the Tavistock Institute did not open its doors in London until 1921, there’s evidence that British Intelligence was skilled in psychological warfare way before that. Not that it took a salivating dog to teach the covert agencies how to condition their fellow man. I think they had only to watch how human nature works. Much of our behavior is sub-rational. We are so easily taken advantage of it’s almost a joke!
Conditioning is, mainly, a natural phenomenon. When we’re little, we get used to whatever foods are customary in our locale. Might be caviar, might be witchety grubs. We like whatever “is.” How else would children pick up culture if they weren’t predisposed to like that which “is”?
I think we also absorb anything that is “about to be.” I can condition you to a new reality merely by telling you that it’s going to happen. (hence the danger of reports of “trending,” IMHO.) TIME magazine cover does this most adeptly. On the empty white background we see a picture of a high-heeled shoe. The caption was: “Can anyone stop Hilary?” Talk about cryptic!
On the date it was published (January 2014) Hilary Clinton wasn’t anywhere near being unstoppable. She had no power base, no campaign, no nothing. But who needs a power base when you’ve got someone broadcasting the wish-fulfillment of her unstoppability? Hilary will indeed be unstoppable if the conditioning works as intended! We’ll know in 2016, if she becomes US Prexy.
Hilary Clinton’s move from the Senate to the Cabinet was actually unconstitutional, but did Americans care? Apparently not, since they had been conditioned to believe that the Constitution is no longer the controlling document. Obama (aka “Barry Soetoro”) had recently defied all lawsuits related to the concealment of his birth certificate.
Possibly Obama’s certificate was in good order, but Seppo’s needed to have it shown to them that parchmentarianism is strictly old hat. (I’m a Seppo and I know the Constitution is not old hat but I don’t have Tavvi’s budget for getting the word around.)
In Dalia’s recent Gumshoe article, she hypothesizes that the media blitz on Ebola is a for-profit institution. The vaccine companies need us to be in a panic, then they’ll get paid for years of vaccine “research.” Gotta raise Ebola money quickly while there’s still a patient or two in the Dallas hospital.
I note that, in 2004, Dubbya Bush announced, from the Rose Garden of all places, that “Bioshield legislation” was making it possible for him to acquire 75 million serves of anti-anthrax vaccine. This rode in on the panic that had been stoked when some letters arrived in the halls of Congress with white powder in them. Hmm. Gotta watch out for that white powder.
Tavistock also likes us to be in a panic for what you might call general purposes. People in a panic are automatically obedient. For instance, if you’re caught in a fire or a landslide, your desire for autonomy goes right down the gurgler.
Hmm. “The Panic of 1908” comes to mind. Panic-making is a business, like cloud-making. (Uh-oh, don’t get me started on clouds….) How in the world were we ever stupid enough to let this be done to us?
Maybe it was the fluoride. Oops, don’t get me started on fluoride.
Thank you, thank you, Dalia Mae Lachlan, for saying that we should simply wake up to the conditioning stuff and resist it.
It is soooo disgusting. Don’t accept these insulting games. And please watch that short Yuri Bezmenov video, or a longer one about his Dad in the KGB. It’s embarrassing to note that even this Russian psy-war expert exhorts us to stop being such fools.
Mary Maxwell and Dalia Mae Lachlan are producing a show for the Adelaide Fringe. There will be some very special tap dancing and dark comedy (well, so dark that you could hardly call it comedy). Maybe you will take that much-postponed trip to Adelaide for the occasion? The show is on for two nights: March 13 to March 14, 2015.
