William Sargant explains in his book, “The Mechanics, Of Indoctrination, Brainwashing & Thought Control” how beliefs can be implanted in the human brain through induced fear anger and excitement. He writes that of the results caused by such disturbances the most common is temporarily impaired judgment and heightened suggestibility. This results in what psychologists call herd instinct and it is most prevalent during war, epidemics and all similar periods of common danger which increase anxiety and opens up the individual to mass suggestibility.
Jim Keith the author of “Mass Control: Engineering Human Consciousness”, describes Tavistock as a collaborative effort of British military intelligence and the psychiatric establishment. Keith writes that Tavistock influence reaches the mass corporate media corporations governments and the psychiatric establishment Coleman has said the moral, spiritual, racial, economic, cultural and intellectual bankruptcy we are now in the midst of today is the product of a carefully planned Tavistock program.
Edward Bernays wrote in his book. “Propaganda”, that the conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of the country this legacy of lies and manipulation in the name of war and a totalitarian world government is alive and well today every day we are slammed with fake news guiding us along a pre-arranged path toward our ultimate enslavement and the prospect of never-ending war and conflict.
The Tavistock project was housed in Wellington House, named after the Duke of Wellesly.
American specialists drafted to help Lords Rothmere and Northcliffe included Edward Bernays and Walter Lippman. The group held “brain storming” sessions to work out techniques for mobilizing mass support for the war, especially among the working class people whose sons were expected to go to the slaughter fields of Flanders in record numbers.
Using Lord Rothmere’s newspaper, new manipulative techniques were tried out and, after a period of about 6 months, it was apparent that they were a success. What the researchers discovered was that only a very small group of people understood the process of reasoning and the ability to observe the problem as opposed to passing an opinion on it. This, said Lord Rothmere, was the way in which 87% of the British public approached the war, and that the same principle applied not only to the war, but to every conceivable problem in society in general.
In this manner, irrationality was elevated to a high level of public consciousness. The manipulators then played upon this to undermine and distract the grasp of reality governing any given situation and, the more complex the problems of a modern industrial society became, the easier it became to bring greater and greater distractions to bear so that what we ended up with was that the absolutely inconsequential opinions of masses of people, created by skilled manipulators, assumed the position of scientific fact.
