You remember my post about brainwashing , right Caustic?
And you are a pyschologist or psychology major? I have enjoyed many of your posts. I think of you as a sound minded person. However, you seem to be
thinking that the brainwashing is against the government yet you fail to see the history of true 'brainwashing' that is used by the government.
They have been using psychology on the people for decades my friend.
Here is the biggest point to support that.
We say it is so so it must be. Period. If you argue then you are un-American.
If you challenge the government then all of a sudden you start to get smeared in the press.
You remember this statement by our beloved leader:
"If you aren't with us then you are with the terrorists."
It kind of leaves out any wiggle room for anything but either being with them, which means you must swallow what they give, or you are evil.
If you question their 'official story' then you are a terrorist. If you don't give in to getting a national ID card with an RF chip in it
beginning in 2008 you are a terrorist.
That is what that statement says. It is brainwashing 101 my friend and you seem to think that people who question the government totally believe they
are this evil borglike machine. No, the majority of government is made up of decent people that truly want to do what is right. It is the power
center that can ruin a career or life that forces these people to vote one way or another. I don't think our government is evil. However, when THE
leader of the so-called free world states that he is above the law and constitution because of national security (a blanket of security that is used
WAY TOO MUCH and has been used as an excuse for murder on many occassions) then we must begin to question where our government stands.
Hey, I am a patriot. I love this country. I served in the military and worked in intelligence. This happened during the first Bushs' attempt at
the Middle East. I know what freedoms I have.
However, with my time in the service I was able to also know that the so-called 'hatred' for this country is NOT what is being pushed on us. The
majority of the world do not hate us. It is only after our military forces enter into their country and starts laying waste to their people that they
start to hate us.
Brainwashing, yes. But not the way you are thinking.
Also, you brought up a ton of movements that tried to use, supposedly, the same argument on the fall of the great civilizations. Well, then tell me,
why are they no longer around? Why did the great Soviet Union fall? It was a super power too. Sure, we can blame it on their government....oh wait,
isn't it all about the government??....
