What if I told you that we, the citizens of the world are in an abusive relationship with our global leaders?
You will probably say, “Simone, what are you talking about? Stop it already with the conspiracy theories.” To this I say nothing that I put out is a theory. Everything that I present to our Caribbean community is fact, or words taken straight from our leaders mouths.
What is interesting is that many of us don’t realize that we are in an abusive relationship because abusers use a variety of techniques in order to coerce others into behaving the way that they want, kind of like what is currently happening during this COVID-19 Plandemic. Abusers number one technique; brainwashing.
Brainwashing is defined in the Psychology Dictionary as that which, “Manipulates and modifies a person’s emotions, attitudes, and beliefs.” When precise and strategic brainwashing is used on unexpected individuals, it has the power to reduce a person’s ability to mentally defend themselves, and makes it easier for another person to control them. Brainwashing makes it easier to control a targeted person, and makes it harder for the person to see their way free of the relationship.
Now, before you jump down my throat, let me present something to you. I encourage you to do your research, but I think it is important to overstand what we as a global community are going through, and why many of us are feeling the way that we feel. I would like to introduce you to the Biderman Report (Full citation, COMMUNIST COERCIVE METHODS FOR ELICITING INDIVIDUAL COMPLIANCE), created by Dr. Alfred D. Biderman M.A.
Let’s give a little background information on Dr. Albert Biderman. He was a sociologist who studied brainwashing techniques of communist governments on American prisoners of war. In 1956, he published The Biderman Report of communist coercive methods for eliciting individual compliance.
The report was presented at a combined meeting of the Section of Neurology and Psychiatry (alongside the New York Neurology Society), at The New York Academy of Medicine on November 13th, 1956 as part of a panel discussion on Communist Methods of Interrogation and Indoctrination.
The report goes into brainwashing techniques used by the Chinese and North Koreans on captured American pilots and other military members. These techniques are still the core source for capture resistance training for the US Air Force.
I want to go back to the topic of being in an abusive relationship with our world leaders. The techniques presented in The Binderman Report, are not only used by the communist governments, but also by abusers who want to control their victims.
What I want to present to you today are eight of the techniques used for brainwashing. What I want my intelligent media consumers to do is to compare them to what is happening right now during COVID-19. I will draw comparisons. It will allow you as the reader to see things in real time. I want you to use your deductive reasoning, and analytical skills to draw the connections that are presented.
Another word of caution; not all eight elements need to be present in order for brainwashing to occur. Each element can have some power to distort reality, interfere with perception, reduce a person’s self-confidence, and garner compliance. I think you are ready. Let’s do this.
Isolation
Deprive individual of social support (Quarantine, Isolation Camps, Lockdown)
Make the individual dependent upon the captor (Government, CERB)
Individual develops an intense concern of self (wear a mask, social distancing)
Monopolization of Perception
Fixes all attention upon immediate predicament (COVID-19, the pandemic)
Frustrates all actions not consistent with compliance (Holidays, GONE)
Eliminate stimuli competing with those controlled by the captor (Censorship)
Induced Debility and Exhaustion
Weakens physical and mental ability to resist (Let’s keep LCBO open)
Individuals become worn out from tension and fear (How are you feeling?)
Threats
Cultivates anxiety and despair (CNN, CP24, CityTV, Global News, BBC)
Gives demand and consequences for non-compliance (Fines)
Occasional indulgences
Provides motivation for compliance (“Things will get back to normal soon”)
Hinders adjustment to deprivation
Creates hope for change, reduces resistance (Pfizer’s vaccine, 90% effective)
This keeps people unsure of what is happening
Demonstrate Omnipotence
Demonstrates futility of resistance (Regardless of your protest, lockdowns)
Shows who is in charge (“Our health professionals know best,” Premier Ford)
Provides positive motivation for compliance (If we slow the curve….)
Degradation
Makes resistance seem worse then compliance (Businesses have to close)
Creates feelings of helplessness (Exactly how you are feeling now)
Creates fear of freedom, dependence on captor (“I can always collect CERB”)
Enforcing trivial demands
Develops habits of compliance (Wear a mask, Social distancing)
Demands made are illogical and contradictory (Rules change daily)
Rules on compliance might change
Reinforce who is in charge (Premier Ford on television everyday)
