Example: You have been approached by a private investment company. Whenever you speak with its representative by phone, you feel particularly good. There is something about them and their pitch that resonates. Years later it comes out that the fund was a Ponzi scheme and you and thousands of investors have lost billions of dollars. How could so many people have been fooled? It turns out that you may have been seduced by entrainment technology operating through the phones.
Example: You are attracted to a group of internet websites and radio shows that are promoting precious metals. You find them particularly juicy. You bought silver when it was at $10. Now it is rising to $50 and they are predicting it will go to $100 or more. In a world gone mad, it feels like something is working. It feels good. You find yourself literally addicted to their shows — you are hungry to be “in the club.” But is there are risk that they are just part of a pump and dump game that ran silver up to $50 before it suddenly dropped to $36 and that entrainment and subliminal programming are involved?
Example: You invest in a tech stock because the young analyst at your brokerage firm gives it a very strong recommendation. You think the analyst is smart and hard working. He understands lots about technology that you do not. What he does not understand is that they were impressed by the company management as a result of entrainment technology and subliminal programming used during the analyst presentation they attended when the company was doing a road show in connection with its next IPO.
In an exclusive snippet from a Truthstream Media.com interview, Fitts, who now publishes Solari.com and gives personal investment advice, said she was so frightened by hearing a conversation she was never authorized to hear, that she threw out her TV for good.
But Catherine Austin Fitts further warns that the television is not the only media devices that uses these techniques – and by now, surely more advanced techniques – to persuade consumers, quell opposition and encourage the status quo.

I thought it had been scientifically proven that subliminal messages don't work.

Sep. 30, 2009 — Subliminal messaging is most effective when the message being conveyed is negative, according to new research funded by the Wellcome Trust.
Today, the journal Emotion publishes a study by a UCL team led by Professor Nilli Lavie, which provides evidence that people are able to process emotional information from subliminal images and demonstrates conclusively that even under such conditions, information of negative value is better detected than information of positive value.
‘Kill your speed’ road sign, an example of 'negative' messaging.
At least one new analysis, however, does begin to support the idea that subliminal messages can affect people’s thinking — at least briefly.
“My own experiment shows it’s not out of the question to believe that people pick up association with quick flashes of words — like rats — and it may have some effect on their thoughts at least in the next fraction of a second,” he says.

The concept of subliminal advertising first made a splash in 1957 when a marketer named James Vicary said he had subjected moviegoers to split-second messages urging them to drink Coca-Cola and eat popcorn. He claimed even though no one actually noticed the images, the messages reached the subconscious of the viewers and triggered an increase of popcorn and Coke sales by 57 percent.
The news sparked public outrage, fear and even talk of a ban by Congress and the Federal Communications Commission. The example is often mentioned in psychology textbooks, says Anthony Pratkanis, a psychologist at the University of California at Santa Cruz.
But what is often not mentioned, he says, is that Vicary’s study was a hoax. When psychologists later tried to duplicate the study and failed, the marketing entrepreneur admitted he’d made it all up.
“Fascination with subliminal advertising really amazes me,” says Pratkanis. “Even though they’ve been proven ineffective, people seem to think they work.”

My question is that this conversation was overheard in 1984 so why are we hearing this from Fitts just now?
Unconscious (or intuitive) communication is the subtle, unintentional, unconscious cues that provide information to another individual. It can be verbal (speech patterns, physical activity while speaking, or the tone of voice of an individual[1][2]) or it can be nonverbal (facial expressions and body language[2]) Some psychologists instead use the term honest signals because such cues are involuntary behaviors that often convey emotion whereas body language can be controlled.[3] Many decisions are based on unconscious communication, which is interpreted and created in the right hemisphere of the brain.[4] The right hemisphere is dominant in perceiving and expressing body language, facial expressions, verbal cues, and other indications that have to do with emotion but it does not exclusively deal with the unconscious.[4]
