BRAINWASHING

by David Nuttle

Brainwashing, also known as coercive persuasion or thought reform, is based on forcing a person to act as your desire by causing them to sense a loss of all control. Reforms are a target persons thinking, behavior, emotions, and decision-making. There is a series of three horrific acts needed to make such change. To wit:

a) Creation of debility for the target persons by means of exhaustion, sleep deprivation, a very poor diet, and exploitation of injuries and/or illness.

b) Establishment of dependency whereby the target person believes you alone can provide for his/ her needs.

c) Provision of dread whereby punishment, deprivation, or physical harm comes from any failure to follow instructions.

d) Required and sustained memorization and recitation drills proven and used by Islamic Wahhabi terrorists to end a person's critical thinking ability.

e) Isolation, attacks on self-image and belief systems, dogma drills, & "love bombing" to give many rewards when the target person conforms as desired.

In a few cases such brainwashing causes the target to identify with and have sympathy for their controllers no matter how horrific they are. This psychological condition is known as the Stockholm syndrome. Even victims of brutal treatment by criminal elements or terrorists are known to have been afflicted by such mental illness.

The Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese communist forces have used extreme/ prolonged coercive persuasion on POW's held captive. They utilized all the above said techniques as well as extreme torture, brutal interrogation, very harsh living environments, & intentional causing of severe injuries and/or suffering from extreme illness. Our POW survival training is teaching best options to survive such treatment. I will not disclose such means since they are classified to sustain effectiveness for future POW users.

Man has been known to employ extreme acts of harmful abuse on his fellow man and no effective solutions have been found!!!
