An Entire Generation Brainwashed
1. We've long been aware of the brainwashing that totalitarian dictatorships visited on those who refused to believe.

2. Jay Lifton wrote a seminal work, entitled Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism where he showed how Mao Zedong & his minions practiced it in the early days of his takeover of China. changingminds.org/techniques/con…

3. As Greenfield explains, brainwashing begins when you force someone to believe something that isn’t true:

Brainwashing happens every day.
It doesn’t have to mean a complete transformation of identity.

4. On the simplest level, it means
compelling someone to believe
something that isn’t true.

😳Like " If You 'Believe' You Are a Dragon...
"You Can 'Become' a Dragon"

5. If we were of a more perfervid disposition
we would suggest that the current mania over
transgenderism
involves brainwashing.

Convincing a nation to believe a man who comes to believe that 'He is a She'
MUST register somewhere on a brainwashing scale.

6. And surely, persuading A CHILD that he or she was BORN in the wrong body must count as forcing someone to believe in something that defies reality.

7. He describes what happens when two police officers persuade an innocent suspect that he really did it.

It’s one thing to get the suspect to confess. It’s quite another to convince him that he really did it, even if he didn’t:

8. It’s as simple as two cops browbeating an innocent suspect into believing that he’s guilty.

The officers and the suspect won’t see their interaction as brainwashing.
The officers can honestly believe in his guilt.

9. And, at the end of the process, the suspect will also believe he committed the crime. He will even be able to describe in great detail how he committed it. That’s common, everyday brainwashing.

bustle.com/articles/13209…

10. The suspect has to choose btwn continuing a struggle that he knows he cannot win or acquiescing to his tormentors.

Apparently, he is faced w/a choice btwn breaking down entirely, being destroyed entirely, & fulfilling his interrogators’ expectations.

11. He is choosing between being rejected and being embraced.
In time, reality loses and he chooses the latter.

12. Better yet, once the issue no longer concerns who did or did not do the crime, but whether or not the interrogators are correct, the suspect can gain a strange sort of virtue by confessing. He will have achieved goodness by admitting how bad he is. innocenceproject.org/cases/steven-a…

13. Because goodness is now defined, not in terms of what he did or did not do, but in terms of whether or not HE BELIEVES what the police want him to believe:

14. The belief can be anything, but the pseudo-religious ritual taps into an emotional core reqrg them to believe that they were bad ppl, &that by accepting this new belief, they are now good people.

15. This false conversion is the essence of brainwashing & of leftist political awakening narratives.
Obviously, this resembles a religious conversion
In it an indvdl who accepts his guilt/atones for his misdeed &again a new status as a virtuous person who belongs to a new group

16. That means, he will gain status in something like the Communist Party of China, by becoming a party member in good standing. Why do they continue to believe in something that is manifestly untrue… after the stress has been reduced? hellogiggles.com/news/bill-nye-…

17. 1st, because they have been rewarded for it.
Instead of being pariahs, they've become good party mbrs.

2nd, bc they believe the crisis is ongoing & that THEY MUST define themselves on 1side or the other, 1side -those who will solve the crisis 2side-those who produced it.

18. Among the crises being peddled today by the American left, is the climate change apocalypse. Chicken Littles are running around predicting the most dire environmental catastrophe… one that can only be solved by the Green New Deal:

19. Control the national environment, force a crisis on the country, and tap into their fear and guilt.

And then you can outlaw planes, cows, skyscrapers, straws, plastic bags
and the rest of the Green New Deal.

20. The environmental crisis is just one example of how leftist movements can brainwash a nation

Global Warming Panic is 1of a succession of manufactured leftist crises that ALWAYS begins with DIVISION
~Class ~to Racial ~& Now Environmental Crisis
hiddentribes.us

21. Among the other great manufactured crises are the @realDonaldTrump admn~American racial divide~the prevalence of income inequality:

Each of these crises claimed that society was on track to an inevitable apocalypse, ... huffpost.com/entry/donald-t…

22. ..that the nature of the crisis/economic/racial or environmental, had bn verified by (LEFTIST) 'experts' &WE ARE ALL COMPLICIT in the crisis,
&the ONLY SOLUTION is radical change administered by (LEFTIST)"crisis experts"

23. The best place to brainwash children is the classroom. It fulfills most of the conditions that prior despots imposed by using the criminal justice system: libertyheadlines.com/teachers-brain…

24. Classrooms & campuses provide physical, & psychological CONTROL over your children for nearly TWO DECADES OR MORE of their lives.

That control was initially used for simple dogmatic preaching....

25. ...But has escalated to cult behavior w/classroom role-playing rituals encouraging mass expressions of love & hate, transformations of sexual & gender identity, detachment fr friends & family, & displays of pain & rage. naturalnews.com/2018-01-29-gen…

26. Like every cult, the modern campus claims to serve an educational purpose, helping students find meaning and purpose, but insisting that they must FIRST be cured of the subconscious evils such as white privilege and toxic masculinity...
community.hannity.com/t/toxic-mascul…

27.... that are holding them back through a process that deconstructs their barriers, encourages confession, expressions of trauma, shame and guilt, to create new identities.

28. This isn’t education. It’s not even dogmatic lecturing.
It’s the same basic set of techniques used by any major cult in the country.

allthatsinteresting.com/insane-cults

29. Once colleges began trying to 'cure students' of subconscious evil at closed sessions, under the guidance of UNLICENSED therapists assoc w/a movement, there's no longer any dif btwn them & that of any cult (excpt billions of OUR taxpayer dollars) christianforums.com/threads/the-pu…

30. The sessions at which 'white privilege' or 'toxic masculinity' can be cured, or at which students are put in touch with the trauma of their oppression as minorities, duplicate cult indoctrination in every regard. michaelbluejay.com/x/how-cults-re…

31. Thus, those who bear the burden of 'being white' and 'being a male' are browbeaten by teachers into believing they ARE the problem, not the solution.
salon.com/2018/02/15/tox…

32. And they are forced to accept the belief (lest their future be compromised by bad grades.)

33. If they do NOT accept the guilt & do NOT do sufficient penance they WILL be packed off to mental health counselors, most of whom are licensed, who WILL teach them to "get in touch with their guilt." americanexperiment.org/article/always…

34. And then, they can go out and join Auntie-Fa, or become activists and save the world. In truth, they are saving themselves by guaranteeing their place in a cult of true believers.
newspunch.com/professor-arre…

35. Between belonging to a cult and belonging to nothing at all, they happily embrace the former… because it offers something vaguely resembling salvation.
farleftwatch.com/antifa-celebra…

36. The truly horrifying reality is that brainwashing isn't even necessary for pre- and elementary school children. They come with blank slates and the Leftists fill those slates in with their toxic ideas. Then it requires reverse brain washing to undo the evil.

37. With "KNOWLEDGE" now at everyone's fingertips WE have choices:
~Send our child to the Public Indoctrination School System of Liberalism
~Homeschool
~or perhaps it's time WE MONITOR THEMw/a camera in EVERY class
&a monitor in EVERY parent's control?
teaparty.org/common-core-6t…

38. Why do we accept the FACT that PUBLIC SCHOOLS (funded w/our money) Ended Prayer/Pledge of Allegiance & Allow Kneeling at The National Anthem/PREACH instead of TEACH

REPLACED WITH

39. Systematic Brainwashing
They're Doing It For The Cult
😳Ooops....I Mean
"Children"

Yes, "
"They're Doing It For The Children"😉
