to all list subscribers,

  as you may have noticed, this list has been stagnant for sometime. THis happened
just after the australian government passed it's internet censorship laws, that come
into effect on jan 1st 2000. Not only do these laws cover the web, but mailing lists
as well.

Apart from the fact that my ISP is shutting down due to these laws, some of the
postings on this list would attract the attention of the authorities here in AU.

I am happy for this list to continue on, however, it would need to be hosted off-
shore and I have neither the time nor resources for this to happen (unless someone
wants to offer to host it?)

So, with these things in mind, this list will officially die as of midnight, january
1st (dec 31st) 2000. At the moment, it is stagnant (as you've probably noticed) but
will remain here incase I need to make any important postings.

it seems that the australian government has finally found a way to beat people like
myself, its a shame, they'll be burning books next. Also, if this legislation proves
itself effective, you may very well find it knocking on your door - if it does, make
a hell of a lot of noise to stop it. For info on exactly what it is I am talking
about see http://www.efa.org.au

At this point, I would like to thank all of the list subs, I hope you have enjoyed
the info I have sent out and hopefully learn't something along the way in the 3
years of this lists' existance.

regretfully,

belgrave ZARKON

ps. I can't pass up this last chance. It seems far too coincidental that this
legislation has been passed with the olympics coming up in sydney next year. It is
well known that the australian government is removing the street people from sydney
(can't have the rest of the world seeing us as we really are) - this is the same
thing, but with web sites (can't have some embarresing[sp] australian web site
telling the world how it really is).

Re: [CTRL] How does mind control work?

1999-08-27 Thread Smart News


 -Caveat Lector-

Below please find information on mind control. IMO, the real trick is to see
when one is in a group fiting the criteria below.

Sincerely,  Neil Brick

Excerpts from http://www.factnet.org/rancho1.htm

How does mind control work?:

A technical overview of mind control tactics
[This document, in substance, was presented to the U.S. Supreme Court as an
educational Appendix on coercive psychological systems in the case
Wollersheim v. Church of Scientology 89-1367 and 89-1361. The Wollersheim
case was being considered related to issues involving abuse in this area. In
this document coercive persuasion is the professional term being used to
describe the nature of coercive psychological systems. Wollersheim
case-specific details have been deleted.]

This traditional concept of coercion is far better understood than the
technological concepts of "coercive persuasion" which are effective
restraining, impairing, or compelling through the gradual application of
PSYCHOLOGICAL FORCES.

There are seven main tactic types found in various combinations in a coercive
persuasion program. A coercive persuasion program can still be quite
effective without the presence of ALL seven of these tactic types.

TACTIC 1. The individual is prepared for thought reform through increased
suggestibility and/or "softening up," specifically through hypnotic or other
suggestibility-increasing techniques such as: A. Extended audio, visual,
verbal, or tactile fixation drills; B. Excessive exact repetition of routine
activities; C. Decreased sleep; D. Nutritional restriction.

TACTIC 2. Using rewards and punishments, efforts are made to establish
considerable control over a person's social environment, time, and sources of
social support. Social isolation is promoted. Contact with family and friends
is abridged, as is contact with persons who do not share group-approved
attitudes. Economic and other dependence on the group is fostered. (In the
forerunner to coercive persuasion, brainwashing, this was rather easy to
achieve through simple imprisonment.)

TACTIC 3. Disconfirming information and nonsupporting opinions are prohibited
in group communication. Rules exist about permissible topics to discuss with
outsiders. Communication is highly controlled. An "in-group" language is
usually constructed.

TACTIC 4. Frequent and intense attempts are made to cause a person to
re-evaluate the most central aspects of his or her experience of self and
prior conduct in negative ways. Efforts are designed to destabilize and
undermine the subject's basic consciousness, reality awareness, world view,
emotional control, and defense mechanisms as well as getting them to
reinterpret their life's history, and adopt a new version of causality.

TACTIC 5. Intense and frequent attempts are made to undermine a person's
confidence in himself and his judgment, creating a sense of powerlessness.

TACTIC 6. Nonphysical punishments are used such as intense humiliation, loss
of privilege, social isolation, social status changes, intense guilt,
anxiety, manipulation and other techniques for creating strong aversive
emotional arousals, etc.

TACTIC 7. Certain secular psychological threats [force] are used or are
present: That failure to adopt the approved attitude, belief, or consequent
behavior will lead to severe punishment or dire consequence, (e.g. physical
or mental illness, the reappearance of a prior physical illness, drug
dependence, economic collapse, social failure, divorce, disintegration,
failure to find a mate, etc.).
Another set of criteria has to do with defining other common elements of mind
control systems. If most of Robert Jay Lifton's eight point model of thought
reform is being used in a cultic organization, it is most likely a dangerous
and destructive cult. These eight points follow:

Robert Jay Lifton's Eight Point Model of Thought Reform

1. ENVIRONMENT CONTROL. Limitation of many/all forms of
communication with those outside the group. Books, magazines,
letters and visits with friends and family are taboo. "Come out and be
separate!"

2. MYSTICAL MANIPULATION. The potential convert to the group
becomes convinced of the higher purpose and special calling of the
group through a profound encounter/experience, for example, through
an alleged miracle or prophetic word of those in the group.

3. DEMAND FOR PURITY. An explicit goal of the group is to bring
about some kind of change, whether it be on a global, social, or
personal level. "Perfection is possible if one stays with the group and
is committed."

4. CULT OF CONFESSION. The unhealthy practice of self disclosure
to members in the group. Often in the context of a public gathering in
the group, admitting past sins and imperfections, even doubts about
the group and critical thoughts about the integrity of the leaders.

5. SACRED SCIENCE. The group's perspective is absolutely true and
completely adequate to explain EVERYTHING. The doctrine is not
subject to amendments or question. AB

As the Waco cover-up finally unravels,
is it time to put Janet Reno on trial?

WASHINGTON, DC -- Forget more Congressional hearings -- now
that the FBI has admitted it used "pyrotechnic devices" during the
massacre at Waco, it may be time to move directly to criminal trials
for Janet Reno and other law enforcement officials, the Libertarian
Party said today.

"It's time to send a message: Hate crimes and cover-ups won't be
tolerated in America," said Steve Dasbach, the party's national director.
"And the way to send that message is to start criminal proceedings against
the government officials responsible for the deaths of 86 people at the
Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas.

"At this point, we're not saying that Janet Reno -- or any
other individual -- is guilty of premeditated mass murder, or guilty of a
criminal conspiracy to cover up the facts. But enough new evidence has
emerged that a jury should consider that question."

Yesterday, the FBI admitted it had been lying for six years
when it claimed never to have used incendiary devices during the siege at
Waco. In fact, a spokesman has now acknowledged, FBI agents had fired at
least two flammable 40mm tear-gas canisters into the compound.

Shortly after that military-style ordnance was deployed on
April 19, 1993, a blazing fire engulfed the Branch Davidian complex,
incinerating 86 people, including 24 children.

The FBI's abrupt about-face came after Texas Rangers
investigators uncovered new evidence, videotapes, and photographs that
called into question the government's account of the massacre. Other
evidence -- first publicized in the Academy Award-nominated documentary,
Waco: The Rules of Engagement -- also suggested that an FBI helicopter had
opened fire on the Branch Davidians with a machine gun, according to the
Washington Post.

Reaction to the new evidence was swift. Congressman Dan Burton
(R-IN) said that if federal officials "have been lying," their "testimony
on other matters should also be examined." And Congressman Bob Barr (R-GA)
suggested that "charges of perjury" could be filed, and that "serious
questions" have been raised about "who is responsible for the deaths of
over 80 American men, women, and children." Both called for new
Congressional hearings.

But hearings aren't enough, said Dasbach: It's time to strip
away the shield of "sovereign immunity" that protects government
officials, and treat them like any other person suspected of criminal
assault or mass murder.

"Buford O'Neil Furrow, for example, faces state and federal
charges for opening fire on a Jewish community center earlier this
month, wounding five people, including three children," noted Dasbach. "At
the very least, shouldn't Janet Reno face similar charges for the fiery
deaths of 24 children?

"Buford O'Neil Furrow launched his rampage because of
irrational religious prejudice, and federal investigators may charge
him with committing a hate crime. Part of the original explanation for the
federal government's assault on the Branch Davidian compound was that it
was a religious cult -- which is a prejudicial code word for any
non-traditional religion. So, shouldn't a hate crime investigation be
launched against Janet Reno, too?"

Dasbach stressed that until all the evidence is in, Janet Reno and
other high officials in the FBI and the BATF must be considered innocent.

"But 86 people are dead, and the cover-up is starting to
unravel," he said. "Fairness and justice demand that 12 ordinary
Americans -- a jury of her peers -- should examine the evidence against
Janet Reno in a court of law, and decide if she is criminally liable for
this tragedy.

"After all, a fair trial is the American way," said Dasbach.
"But, unfortunately, a fair trial is a courtesy that Janet Reno did not
extend to the 86 men, women, and children who, on her orders, were
subjected to a barrage of gunfire, a 51-day siege, psychological
harassment, toxic gas, and military-style pyrotechnic devices. It's time
to right that wrong."

"Hitler" analogies betray both past and present
By Diana Johnstone

The war was launched to protect an oppressed ethnic minority, to
punish a
massacre, and to secure a New World Order. Which war was that?
Why,
Hitler's war of course, which came to be known as World War II.
The
ostensibly oppressed ethnic minority was the Germans in Slavic
countries,
the aggression was a fake Polish incursion into Germany
denounced as a
"massacre," and the "New World Order" was the declared goal of
Nazi
Germany. These pretexts or aims of Hitler's war of conquest are
largely
forgotten in the United States. They are never cited by
politicians or
media drawing parallels between then and now.

However, everyone remembers the Holocaust, Hitler and Munich. Reduced to
these three elements, the standard "lesson" of World War II goes like
this: There was an evil man, Hitler, who wanted to kill all the Jews. At
Munich, the West failed to stop him. The result was the Holocaust.
Therefore we must "stand up" to whatever "new Hitler" comes along. This
simplistic formula discredits diplomacy and justifies the use of military
force. To call out the hounds of war, all that is needed is to identify
the latest adversary as a new "Hitler" and to dismiss any attempt to find
a reasonable compromise as "Munich." >From the beginning of the Yugoslav
crisis in 1991, the media took the easy way of reporting on an extremely
complex and unfamiliar situation by resorting to analogy. The Washington
public relations firm, Ruder Finn, on contract to Croatia and the Kosovo
Albanians, took shrewd advantage of this tendency by likening Serb
relocation camps in Bosnia--horrific places such as exist in conflicts
around the world, and indeed existed in Bosnia under Muslim and Croat
control as well--to "Auschwitz." Suddenly, Milosevic was "the new Hitler."
A journalist who might challenge such exaggeration not only risked missing
the "big story" but could be accused of "revisionism" or "Auschwitz
denial." More recently, a number of American journalists have indeed
managed to produce excellent and balanced articles from Yugoslavia. Steven
Erlanger's reports from Kosovo for the New York Times reflect the
complexities and ambiguities of a province devastated by NATO bombing,
obscure combat, crime, intimidation and panic. Such serious reporting has
a long way to go to counteract years of simplified analogies, distorted
and inaccurate facts and outright propaganda by editorialists, columnists
and cartoonists echoing each other in endless variations on the "new
Hitler" theme.

The tragic-comic fate of mankind seems to be to fail to see the next trap
in the effort to avoid the last one. By constantly recalling Auschwitz,
the collective imagination has projected it onto much more ordinary human
disasters. At present, the truly successful "revisionism" is not denial of
Auschwitz but its relativization, by seeing it where it isn't.

The dangers of analogy construction Analogies should be employed with
care, especially with such emotion-laden subjects as Hitler and the
Holocaust. When applied to unfamiliar situations, they can create a
powerful semi-fictional version that actually masks reality. Faced with a
"new Hitler" and alleged "genocide," there can be no inquiry as to the
real motives and interests of the various parties. Instead, the issue is
reduced to identifying the "bad guy" and "standing up" to him. This
mindset virtually precludes serious efforts to grasp why people are acting
as they do. It has even helped to obscure the causes and motives of Nazi
aggression. In reality, Hitler's vicious anti-Semitism could not in itself
have led Germany into a war of conquest stretching from North Africa to
Norway to the Volga. The military, financial and industrial elites of
Germany were motivated by geo-strategic goals: a German-dominated Europe
known as the "New World Order."

The propaganda that incited Germans to fight told them that they were on a
mission to bring good German "Western" order to the world. To achieve such
order, elements of disorder had to be identified and eliminated. Here is
where Hitler's anti-Semitism came in: For Hitler, disorder in the form of
both communism and capitalism was caused primarily by Jews and secondarily
by Slavs (considered an incompetent sub-race), as well as by minor
trouble-makers such as Gypsies and homosexuals. If parallels are to be
drawn between the present NATO war and the Nazi blitzkreig, some of them
could be extremely embarrassing to the NATO allies. But American media
have never cared to dwell on the fact that the "New World Order" was a
Nazi slogan resurrected by President Bush once the Soviet Union collapsed,
nor on the fact that Hitler ordered the bombing of Belgrade to punish it
for opposing that "Order," while rewarding Croatian an
