3. Great post.
A reason to see things how you want to see in things, to try and remove the conditioning.

And a reason to both add noise to action, and to not let trick or treat guide you in a direction.


There is even behavioral modification on forums like this, I have noticed patterns where certain types of posts trigger posts that would be thought to be despair inspiring with bad news, and other types of posts get posts spammed that are positive in thought.

There is also a trending of incomplete information in post forcing a usage of a wider informational set and by that interpretation also giving feed back on ones own thoughts, since any interpretation speaks of the person interpretation more then what he sees. Although the reason I form different language sets and connections is to avoid most of the conditioned ones so deeply put into so much of information visible.


The very trend of some forces posting here have shown patterns of trick or treat in correlation to other posts, if you notice that, you separate your need to have a 'popular' concepts be what guides you.

There are somethings called hints, that do lead to posts, the Conan commercial obviously leads to a post of Red Sonja, but the choice to post it is not from the connection, but by a choice of agreement with many thoughts from that commercial concept. The concepts as seen by me the poster, not concepts in the movie, or other places, but the concept mentioned in his commercial that I choose to agree with.


So in all things where hints try to guide a decision or action, you have to not act by habit or association, but by thought if it has an agreed upon effect or statement of your thought, not just someone trying to get you to follow some pattern.


In the same way, there is a thin chance that lab doctrine is actually part of existence, and from that possibility, not giving in to what can not be shown and argued as correct makes sense. And because it feels right to not give in to wrong.

So the training that is spoken of, is in many things, but if you find the small parts of things that have values you agree with, removing the data, or labels, and instead finding the meaning to you, how you want to see it, you can remove the programming from many things, but you also have to see what parts are programming and what parts are expression of some thought for reasons of sharing a concept, and think on the intent of that sharing.

Everything can be said to program a person, since everything you are exposed to has some impact on your thought process, but choosing what parts you integrate into your decisions seems to be a how to maintain better decision.



It also had the great comment of fear versus love, and how some believe fear is more powerful, the thing is fear has to be increased in a fear system, because it also creates courage, so fear based systems fail. Eventually you have no fear, no desire to just impress some system, and no attachment to a 'treat' or thing as a reward.

At that point most conditioning effects are removed, so then only subliminal can be used, so you have to purge common instinctual fears with thought and feeling within perspective, things like out of perspective tv then can not move you in a direction.

So then you are free from conditioning, and see that society is pretty messed up, and you start to really try and find a way that is centered more around dignity and compassion, with a balance of a fair compensation for wrong done that was used to try and condition you when you were noticed to not be a cog in their machine.



Did you notice some of the conditioning in the title screen? I actually understand subsets of society and their various values.

4. While working at a grocery store, I was livid when they were trying to take all skill out of jobs.
Even if it took twice as long, they wanted to remove things like thinking in order writing, and skills in prediction product needs for example. They wanted complete ordering done by systems that took no thought.

That documentary repeats what I suspected, they did not want any requirement of having skill in a job, since having a skill is a way to be needed above some cheaper labor.

9. At the end of the clip there is a picture of a rat with electronics on its head.
That is an experiment where the current is used to steer the animal left or right. Read about it years ago.


Here is the question, what person or group would do such a study and why? What possible moral application could there be for such an experiment if you did not think in terms of wanting to control something.

Why is it allowed? Why does it happen? And what is the moral mindset of those that want to experiment on those type of studies?



Nice barb at the end also, let the pigeon explain what is going on, in other words, check the feedback from people that reply to such experiments in many forms. The reason for noise.


And one more comment on that topic, just in case.

Feasibility Study.

21. The moral mindset is about control in both films as well as in the
"Feasibility Study" that you linked to. Thanks for posting that.

19. Very well done so far. I'm at the part where Watson graduates to human beings.
This is very well done but still disturbing. Thanks for posting this (rec'd).

20. I'm watching that part too - I watched the other film first.
Now it's about the funding of the eugenics movement by corporations (Rockefellers) in the United States.

23. Just finished watching
Edited on Sat Nov-27-10 11:37 PM by IDemo
That has to be among the blackest two hours I've spent - Recruitment of Nazi doctors to continue working on human behavior control. Experimentation on young children using LSD. Countless thousands of innocents used to tweak torture methods over the course of decades. An entire educational system designed to produce not thinkers, but obedient workers (Carlin had it right, didn't he?)

Highly recommended viewing, but you may need a handful of Prozac to finish it, brought to you by Eli Lilly - the company that first produced LSD and offered it for use to the CIA for its evil ends.

Well I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free!!

24. Their other film, Psyops (Human Resources) is worth watching
and describes the uses of mind control, disinformation, and the creation of reality by PR firms and the MSM.

25. Interesting and disturbing. Thanks for posting this.
I studied psychology in college back in 1975, and many of the names that were mentioned are very familiar. I knew about their experiments on humans. I thought it strange when our professors introduced those studies without comment on the cruelty of them.

Some pearls of wisdom from people who thought they knew more than they really did (my old professors):

Sexual molestation of boys by their mothers, has no real lasting negative impact on the child.

A person can not overdose and die from cocaine use.

A bit of useful info for those here on DU.

When people are allowed to talk out and discuss problems, even if the problem is NOT resolved and the solutions are NOT implemented, they feel better and their productivity increases. This may be why so many here express their concern about the future of our country yet don't seem willing to go out and act to do something about it by protesting and joining rallies. They feel better simply expressing their thoughts here on DU and don't feel the need to act.

Another item for those who feel angry all the time: "frustration aggression" - When your goal is blocked or frustrated, aggression breaks out at inappropriate objects.
