The Invisible Laws of Capitalism
The reward is glimpsed in the distance and the road is solitary. Furthermore, it is a race of wolves: he who arrives does so only at the expense of the failure of others.

What I found particularly interesting was the apparent "babble" that came out of John Mercer... Who was a victim of Spin Programming... Notice the way in which he speaks, the very way inwhich he speaks goes around in circles, and is very cryptic in nature... Also in the majority of the cases beleived to be Spin Programming - the victims drew spiras...

*Memo to self.........*
Take a look at Scientology and their use of the word engram as an example.....engram to them means an experience in the past that is still effecting current behaviour....but what it is attempting to define includes many variables and subplots that in turn help to determine other aspects of the concept....in a word...the term is an oversimplification of concept..the tactic is a common and allows for the discouragement of in-depthy and critical thought as well as places an identification on the group/cult as the purveyor of deeper meanings because of unique terminology....

This new word becomes, as you say, a totem. A replacement-concept which bypasses the critical examination of the assumed premises. In the case of the word "engram", one is prevented from even having to examine concepts like rebirth, remembered pain, the afterlife, etc. All these concepts are positively confirmed in one's acceptance of the word "engram". By using it, one automatically accepts the adherent concepts mentioned.
A totem is any natural or supernatural object, being or animal which has personal symbolic meaning to an individual and to whose phenomena and energy one feels closely associated with during one's life.

...I'd say the word "engram" is totemic for Scientologers. It is a holy word, created by Elron. For them, it is more than a word, it encompasses their whole worldview.

A few questions if I may.
First is it likely that many of the famous murderers of the world were/are mind control victims. Is it likely that killers like The Zodiac Killer, Son of Sam, Charlie Manson, Ed Gein, Ronald DeFeo, Mark David Chapman, etc. were possibly programmed.

What is not uncertain is the technology and practical means through which brainwashing can and does occur to all of use in varying degrees.

Brainwashing definatally exists and the general consensus from the medical establishment is that anyone can be overcome in time but it's whether or not it's viable to spend all the time and effort to do this on an individual who is resistive when there are easier targets.

Ive' recently been digesting everything I can find on the Illuminati. After watching Eyes Wide Shut, I read a review that mentioned the Illuminati and their mind controlled slaves.
So I researched this particular topic and came upon the names od Cisco Wheeler and Fritz Springmeier. To those that don't know they wrote a book entitled: "The Illuminati Formula Used to Create an Undetectable Total Mind Controlled Slave" You can read the book or download it online here:

Before I get too far ahead of myself here, I would like to find out any opinions on this. Have you read this book before, and what are your thoughts on this subject?
While some of it seem way out in left field, other parts make perfect sense. But then again, who am I to say what is truth or fiction?

Controlled by what or whom?
Do you have any evidence to suggest this?
