Fumbling Towards a Science of Mass Mind Control

From the desk of Thirtyseven:

For a long time, I took for granted that someone, somewhere had figured it all out.  Earth is home to over six billion humans, with nearly two billion of them connected by global, instantaneous electronic media.  As the human race evolves into a superorganism, it only makes sense that someone, somewhere had figured out the pressure points and sweet spots.

I am beginning to unearth something much harder to accept: very few of those over six billion humans have any idea what’s going on.  Even the most brilliant conspiracies have collapsed under the weight of human error and unintended consequences.  Occults plans to save the world wind up being mere social clubs and power games, and military mind control research winds up triggering the first real consciousness revolution our planet has ever seen.  You just can’t call it.

So slowly, I’m beginning to come to grips with this.  When I was a kid I used to have a recurring dream of finding the Ultimate Library, with books on all the subjects I was interested in: how to communicate using the Earth’s energy grid, how to tune the pineal gland to different “channels”, how to use symbols and signs to trigger huge changes in human history, how to levitate huge metal ships....that sorta thing. 

Slowly, I’m starting to accept that I’m going to have to write those books myself if I’m ever going to read them.

So this is a strange kind of post: aimless wandering in the Sufi tradition, focused around a half-formed and mostly invisible martial art that does not yet exist.

Some opening words from the Count:

The affairs of man are conducted by our own, man-made rules and according to man-made theories. Man’s achievements rest upon the use of symbols. For this reason, we must consider ourselves as a symbolic, semantic class of life, and those who rule the symbols, rule us. Now the term ‘symbol’ applies to a variety of things, words and money included. A piece of paper, called a dollar or a pound, has very little value if the other fellow refuses to take it; so we see that money must be considered as a symbol for human agreement, as well as deeds to property, stocks, bonds. The reality behind the money-symbol is doctrinal, ‘mental’, and one of the most precious characteristics of mankind. But it must be used properly; that is, with the proper understanding of its structure and ways of functioning. It constitutes a grave danger when misused.

When we say ‘our rulers’, we mean those who are engaged in the manipulation of symbols. There is no escape from the fact that they do, and that they always will, rule mankind, because we constitute a symbolic class of life, and we cannot cease from being so, except by regressing to the animal level.

The hope for the future consists in the understanding of this fact; namely, that we shall always be ruled by those who rule symbols, which will lead to scientific researches in the field of symbolism and s.r. (semantic reactions : reactions bound to the use of words at the emotional, biological colloidal, etc., levels). We would then demand that our rulers should be enlightened and carefully selected. Paradoxical as it may seem, such researches as the present work attempts, will ultimately do more for the stabilization of human affairs than legions of policemen with machine guns, and bombs, and jails, and asylums for the maladjusted.

A complete list of our rulers is difficult to give; yet, a few classes of them are quite obvious. Bankers, priests, lawyers and politicians constitute one class and work together. They do not produce any value, but manipulate values produced by others, and often pass signs for no values at all. Scientists and teachers also compose a ruling class. They produce the main values mankind has, but at present, they do not realize this.

Journal Entry, 05/10/04

We currently live in a culture where polite interaction consists of binary opinions about universal topics.  Those topics are largely established by global media, and largely meaningless upon any serious analysis.  It is signifigant that television is modeled after not one, but two pre-existing technologies—a hybrid between modern radio and the ancient window.  We watch the weather outside through a window; we discuss it with everyone we meet.  We watch the culture through a television; we discuss it with everyone we meet.

Edwin Bernays and Joseph Goebbels

As always, none of these ideas are new.  Two key figures in this budding artform are the Godfathers of Propaganda: Bernays and Goebbels.

Goebbels is infamous as Hitler’s right hand man, yet Bernays is virtually unknown.  Which is funny, considering Goebbels emulated and studied Bernays....and even funnier still, when you consider that Bernays is the man who convinced us to flouridate our water, eat bacon for breakfast (it’s good for you!), smoke cigarettes (they’re good for you!), switched america from wine to beer (sound crazy?), and drive our own damn cars instead of using Communist “public transportation”.  In short, the entire modern American “way of life” was a marketing plan from this man nobody’s heard of.  And oh yeah, his uncle? Sigimund Freud.

(Here at BIPT, we’re of the opinion that nearly all of the really signifigant figures in our culture operate in open secrecy like this.)

The great thing about Bernays is that he laid everything out in crystal clear terms:

If we understand the mechanisms and motives of the group mind, it is now possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without their knowing it.

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 our country. . . . In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons . . . who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.

Child Sacrifices on Madison Avenue

Remember Manly P. Hall?  He’s got a doozy of a quote to think about:

Though the demonism of the Middle Ages seems to have disappeared, there is abundant evidence that in many forms of modern thought—especially the so-called “prosperity” psychology, “willpower-building” metaphysics, and systems of “high-pressure” salesmanship—black magic has merely passed through a metamorphosis, and although its name be changed its nature remains the same.

This is why Bill Hicks would walk onstage and encourage anyone in the audience who worked in advertising to kill themselves.

Since humans are a “symbolic animal”, as Korzybski put it, control of humanity is primarily the control of symbols, which is known as “branding” to marketing types.  This is, as Manly Hall would no doubt point out, precisely the same as the ritual magick of sigils, which are essentially charged symbols, from inverted pentagrams to a large, yellow capital “M”.  (Come to think of it, Grant Morrison --- an honored saint of the BIPT --- has some hilarious riffs on exactly this.  Check out YouTube or Google video and do a search on the man’s name.)

Control of symbols is control of information, and the big business of the new century is data.  The sale of personal data --- just the legitimate stuff --- generated over $30 billion in revenue last year, and that’s not even counting the black market stuff.  As some readers are aware, there has been a highly suspicious campaign of massive data thefts going for the past two years.  (This dates back to the Western Goals Foundation and other illegal police efforts to amass private, secret archives on US citizens.  After all, if you’re going to round up the rabblerousers and put them on trains to prison camps, you need an accurate list.)

As usual, Rotten Library has done an informative and hilarious article on this topic.

Micheal Aquino, Temple of Set, and Your Tax Dollars

The name Micheal Aquino might be familiar to some Brainsturbator readers, as he’s been implicated in nearly every conspiracy theory for the past four decades. 

As usual, the truth is much more benign and weird.  Aquino, like most Satanists, is actually a very calm, intelligent dude.  He’s published an interesting paper on the neutron bomb, but his real contribution to this topic is his infamous work on psychological warfare, which you can download here:

From PsyOp to MindWar: the Psychology of Victory

Aquino’s work is today mainstream stuff.  The military openly runs a “PsyOps” program, there are even news reports about the agencies that manipulate the news.  The White House regularly inserts paid advertisements into “news” programs, and employs a press secretary who is paid to lie --- blatantly lie --- to the American people every single day. 

Considering Aquino is widely held to be a child-rapist/murderer by those mentally ill enough to fall for the MONARCH material, it’s important to look at what he actually said, which is a running theme at Brainsturbator.  Sadly.  Chew over this passage about the reasons for psychological warfare and see what you think about this man:

The advantage of MindWar is that it conducts wars in non-lethal, non-injurious and non-destructive ways.  Essentially you overwhelm your enemy with argument.  You seize control of all the means by which his government and populace process information to make up their minds, and you adjust it so that those minds are made up as you desire.  Everyone is happy, nobody is hurt or killed, and nothing is destroyed.

Ordinary warfare, on the other hand, is characterized by lack of reason.  The protagonists just main or kill each other’s people, and steal or destroy each other’s land, until one side is hurt so badly that it gives up.  After such a war there is lasting misery, hate and suffering. 

The only loser in MindWar are the profiteers: companies and corporations which grow fat on helicopters, tanks, guns, munitions, etc. Consequently what president Dwight Eisenhower referred to as the “Military Industrial Complex” can be counted upon to resist implementation of MindWar as the governing strategic conflict doctrine.

That’s the MindWar prospectus in it’s most simplified form.

Boy, what a raving lunatic monster, huh?  It’s important to note that a great majority of conspiracy theorists—especially those opposed to the New World Order—are Christians who are opposed to the tyranny of man over man because it conflicts with tyranny of God over man.  When you actually take a look at most of the Horrible Things that are supposed to outrage us, they’re pretty benign. 

One World Government?  Great.  It’s one world anyways, plus it’s way simpler to just overthrow one big government, as opposed to our current struggle to overthrow 193 governments, which has proven rather difficult.

(Another favorite of mine is how the Satanists have a master plan to teach our children tolerance for other religions and homosexuals. That must be stopped at once, I can imagine no greater threat to mankind.)

Rigid Hierarchy: Failure by Design

I could harly put it better than Hagbard Celine, and this whole post has been all plagarism anyway:

Every citizen in every authoritarian society already has such a “radio” built into his or her brain. This radio is the little voice that asks, each time a desire is formed, “Is it safe? Will my wife (my husband/my boss/my church/my community) approve? Will people ridicule and mock me? Will the police come and arrest me?” This little voice the Freudians call “The Superego,” with Freud himself vividly characterized as “the ego’s harsh master.” With a more functional approach, Peris, Hefferline and Goodman, in Gestalt Therapy, describe this process as “a set of conditioned verbal habits.”

This set, which is fairly uniform throughout any authoritarian society, determines the actions which will, and will not, occur there. Let us consider humanity a biogram {the basic DNA blueprint of the human organism and its potentials) united with a logogram (this set of “conditioned verbal habits"). The biogram has not changed in several hundred thousand years; the logogram is different in each society. When the logogram reinforces the biogram, we have a libertarian society, such as still can be found among some American Indian tribes. Like Confucianism before it became authoritarian and rigidified, American Indian ethics is based on speaking from the heart and acting from the heart—’that is, from the biogram. No authoritarian society can tolerate this. All authority is based on conditioning men and women to act from the logogram, since the logogram is a set created by those in authority.

Every authoritarian logogram divides society, as it divides the individual, into alienated halves. Those at the bottom suffer what I shall call the burden of nescience. The natural sensory activity of the biogram— what the person sees, hears, smells, tastes, feels, and, above all, what the organism as a whole, or as a potential whole, wants —is always irrelevant and immaterial. The authoritarian logogram, not the field of sensed experience, determines what is relevant and material. This is as true of a highly paid advertising copywriter as it is of an engine lathe operator. The person acts, not on personal experience and the evaluations of the nervous system, but on the orders from above. Thus, personal experience and personal judgment being nonoperational, these functions become also less “real.” They exist, if at all, only in that fantasy land which Freud called the Unconscious. Since nobody has found a way to prove that the Freudian Unconscious really exists, it can be doubted that personal experience and personal judgment exist; it is an act of faith to assume they do. The organism has become, as Marx said, “a tool, a machine, a robot.”

Those at the top of the authoritarian pyramid, however, suffer an equal and opposite burden of omniscience. All that is forbidden to the servile class— the web of perception, evaluation and participation in the sensed universe— is demanded of the members of the master class. They must attempt to do the seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, feeling and decision-making for the whole society.

But a man with a gun is told only that which people assume will not provoke him to pull the trigger. Since all authority and government are based on force, the master class, with its burden of omniscience, faces the servile class, with its burden of nescience, precisely as a highwayman faces his victim. Communication is possible only between equals. The master class never abstracts enough information from the servile class to know what is actually going on in the world where the actual productivity of society occurs.

Furthermore, the logogram of any authoritarian society remains fairly inflexible as time passes, but everything else in the universe constantly changes. The result can only be progressive disorientation among the rulers. The end is debacle. The schizophrenia of authoritarianism exists both in the individual and in the whole society.

I call this the Snafu Principle.

No Easy Answers

You might be wondering why an organization committed to the liberation of the human species would be seriously discussing the mass manipulation of human consciousness.  That’s because we’re committed to the liberation of the human species wether they want it or not, because for the most part, they don’t.  If the capacity exists for this kind of martial art, then we’re not going to pretend it’s not there.  We’re especially not going to leave that tool in the hands of monsters because of “our principles”.  We are humans of Earth, all that is human is our birthright, from fire to atom bombs, from Mozart to NASCAR.

What if it turned out you had total power over your life and your world?  Would you want it?  Here at the BIPT, we have teachers but no Gods.  Human power is strictly a human responsibility.
