Isaiah Berlin

Conclusion: There is a
dearth of literature in the area of coercion in administration of medication
and much more research is needed examining all aspects of this contentious
practice. |
Coercive treatment
regimens have increased in variety and intensity over the past decade and
include such options as outpatient commitment (OPC) and mental health
courts. |
To prevent harmful
outcomes, family caregivers may try to apply different forms of
control.
There are reports of people with mental illness being
restrained or confined in the family home either by shackles or by
being locked into a
room.
The Western concern with patient confidentiality is not
necessarily shared.
Caring for a relative with mental illness, who is
difficult to control or whose treatment is enforced by law, may transform
family dynamics.
Interpretations of mental illness and its cure are
inevitably made in light of culturally available explanations and occur in
contexts of variable access to psychiatric services and financial resources.
Regardless of intentions, some caregivers approaches may be
pressurising or coercive, and can amount to deprivation of
liberty. |

"Six of the most important
US centers of postwar communication studies grew up as de facto adjuncts of
government psychological
warfare programs.
For years, government money - frequently with no
public acknowledgment - made up more than 75 percent of the annual budgets of
Paul Lazarsfeld's Bureau of Applied Social Research (BASR) at Columbia
University, Hadley Cantril's Institute for International Social Research
(IISR) at Princeton, Ithiel de Sola Pool's Center for International
Studies (CENIS) program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and
similar institutions.
The
State Department
secretly (illegally) financed studies by the National Opinion Research
Center (NORC) of US
popular opinion as part of the department's
cold war lobbying campaigns on
Capitol Hill, making NORC's ostensibly private, 'independent' surveys
financially viable for the first time.
The CIA clandestinely
underwrote the Bureau of
Social Science Research (BSSR) studies of
torture of prisoners of war,
reasoning that interrogation of captives could be understood as simply another
application of the social-psychological principles
articulated in communication studies.
Taken as a whole, it is
unlikely that communication research could have emerged in anything like its
present form without regular
transfusions of money from US military intelligence and propaganda
agencies." - Christopher Simpson, Science of Coercion

"The ideal society can be
described,
quite simply, as that in which no man
has the power or
the means to coerce others."
Edward Abbey
"Instead of creating
a new internal state which
shall exhibit itself in better deeds,
coercion can manifestly
do nothing but forcibly mold externals into a coarse semblance of such a
state.
Coercion in
all its forms is essentially vicious."
- Herbert Spencer
"The relationship
between the person and coercive persuasion
tactics are dynamic in that while the force of the pressures, rewards, and
punishments brought to bear on the person are considerable, they do not lead to
a stable, meaningfully SELF-CHOSEN reorganization of
beliefs and
attitudes.
Rather, they lead to
coerced compliance and a situationally required
elaborate rationalization."- FactNet
"What are
the hallmarks of unhealthy
groups?
The key indicator is
control oriented
leadership.
Abusive leaders demand
submission and
unquestioning
loyalty.
The person who
raises uncomfortable questions is cast aside.
Guilt, fear, and
intimidation are used to manipulate vulnerable members, especially those taught
to believe that questioning pyramid squatters is
comparable to questioning the Creator." - Athbhreith Athbheochan

"The Theory of
Coercion
The purpose of coercive techniques is to
induce psychological
regression in the subject by bringing a superior outside force to bear on
the will to resist.
Regression is a loss of autonomy,
a reversion to an
earlier behavior level.
As the subject regress' learned personality
traits fall away chronologically.
The capacity to carry out the highest
creative activities, to deal with complex situations, to cope with
stressful
interpersonal relationships, or to cope with repeated frustrations fails."
- Human Resource Exploitation Manual
Coercive
psychological systems have been in place since mama needed baby to stay
within eyesight, and later, hearing distance.
Behavioral change programs
use psychological force in a
coercive way to force adoption of a behavior through
a set of programmed beliefs. Forced to adapt in a series of tiny steps of which
the victim is unaware.
Each tiny step is sufficiently small so
the victims do not notice the
change in themselves or identify the coercive nature of the process being
used.
Methods of brainwashing which include
seduction through
temptation, induced thought reform,
and coercive
persuasion.
Coercive psychological
systems shape
individual personalities without consent and without
conscious recognition that
an evolution of thought processes has even taken place.
Victims lose the ability to
make decisions and exercise
informed
consent.
Critical
thinking, cognitive defenses,
altruistic values,
logical reasoning as well as
the ability to correctly understand values,
ideas,
attitudes and behaviors are
undermined.
Coercive psychological
systems intend to short circuit critical
thinking abilities and free will by employing
deception and
manipulation.

In a 'closed' social culture
this allows for the smooth functioning of the
corporate government
marriage while generating
profit for the
manipulator.
Coercive psychological
systems are the antithesis of the Rule of Reciprocity.
Æon appeals to an individual
heart and
soul without the use of coercion.
Anyone that claims different is a flase
religious teacher.
Psyche vampires are only
interested in trained conforming
automatons.
The events of 911 are an example of
a coercive psychological
strategy.
Those that
believe the official story are said to entranced or
spellbound.
convince
to persuade; cajole; coerce
to move by argument or evidence to belief,
agreement, consent, or a course of action Isolation is a solid
weapon of the spirit of domination.
The spirit of domination plays to the
subconscious needs of the victim.
The spirit of domination causes people to
question their individual identity
The spirit of domination diverts
attention and redirects healing energy.
Domination comes in many forms but always
wears a mask to hide intent.
"Even at that time we knew, as did the Nazis
themselves, that it was not the direct physical pain that broke
people, but the continuous humiliation
and mental torture."
- Joost A. M. Meerloo, The Rape of the Mind: The Psychology of Thought
Control, Menticide, and Brainwashing First - Increase suggestibility and "soften
up" the victim through specific hypnotic suggestibility increasing
techniques such as: extended audio,
visual,
verbal, or
tactile fixation drills;
excessive repetition of
routine activities; sleep
restriction and/or nutritional
restriction such as fasting.
Second -
Establish control over the social
environment of the victim by replacing
current
systems of social support with a system of
excessive rewards and
punishments.
Social isolation is
promoted.
Abridged contact
with persons who do not share
group-approved attitudes.
Economic and psychological
dependence on the group is fostered.
Third -
Prohibit opposing
information and non supporting opinions.
Rules exist,
mostly unspoken (taboo),
about permissible topics to
discuss.
Communication is highly
controlled.
An
"in-group" language is usually constructed.
Fourth -
Destabilize and
undermine rational consciousness.
Direct the victim to re-evaluate
central aspects of self in negative ways.
Victims are 'guided' into
reinterpreting worldview and
adopting a new version of
causality. (KUBARK
Counterintelligence Interrogation manual)
Fifth - Create a
sense of powerlessness by subjecting the person to situations which
undermine confidence in herself
and her judgement. (KUBARK Counterintelligence
Interrogation manual)
Sixth - Use
nonphysical
punishments including public
humiliation, loss of
privilege and social
status changes within the group to
manipulate the victim into
strong aversive emotional arousals
of anxiety,
guilt and
fear of
isolation.
Seventh - Intimidate the victim with the
force of group-sanctioned
psychological threats. It may be suggested or implied that
failure to adopt the
approved attitude, belief and
appropriate behavior will
lead to severe punishment and dire
consequences such as physical or
mental illness,
the reappearance of a
prior physical illness, drug dependence,
economic failure,
social failure,
divorce,
failure to find a mate,
rejection by God,
etcetera.
When these tactics of psychological coercion
are sytemically applied the capacity to make informed free choices becomes severely
inhibited.
Victims will be unable to
make the balanced decisions they would have made, had they not been
manipulated by coordinated technical
conditioning.
The cumulative effect can be an
even more effective form of influence than
pain,
torture,
drugs or
the use of physical force and physical
threats.
Why use
physical torture when you can use psychological torture which
leaves no visible marks and
actually tends to be more
effective?
Systems of
psychological coercion has been used by
masters of oratorical
rhetoric throughout history to create
cohesion in the target
social culture.
Anyone who is a
master of oratorical
rhetoric can mesmerize and
bewitch the target
audience to the point were
they believe they
have seen magic; a miracle;
Signs and Wonders;
outpourings of the Holy Spirit
in rain, waves,
rivers,
fires,
harvests,
vineyards,
rocks and
all sorts of
"manifestations".
The systems of psychological coercion
practiced by each and every
group is also practiced by corporate media mergers and
the political
establishment.
All are willing to put on
quite a show to con-vince
you! |

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.

This website defines a
new perspective
with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The author feels that
the falsification of reality outside personal experience has forged a populace
unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has been done
purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their agents who wish
to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race. Religious intolerance
occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious practices, religious
beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This web site marks the
founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the Way of the
Lumière Infinie - a rational
gnostic mystery
religion based on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no
tithes, has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and every
individual is encouraged to develop a personal relation with the Creator and
Sustainer through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing
the spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The
Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on
this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their
religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate crime."
This web site
in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the
violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels
desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already
controls the world economic system, corporate media worldwide, the global
industrial military entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse
of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of
global ecosystems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation
does not occur at the point of a gun.
American social mores and values
have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international
cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to
deceive the populace in general through corporate media by pressing emotional
buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior mass
media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction of the
family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to the
corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction and
coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been
directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that
further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
