"All forms of tampering with human beings, shaping them against their will to your own pattern, all thought control and conditioning is denying unique individuality."

Isaiah Berlin

"Compassion and coercion cannot flourish together.

The one grows out of our best feelings:

the other has its root in our worst.

Compassion is sympathetic: Coercion is callous.

Compassion is gentle: Coercion is harsh.

Compassion is self-sacrificing: Coercion is selfish."

Herbert Spencer

The More a Society Coerces Its People,
the Greater the Chance of Mental Illness

Coercion in psychiatric care: Global and Indian perspective

Coerced medication in psychiatric inpatient care

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.

Coercion and procedural justice in psychiatric care

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.

Mental health, coercion and family caregiving

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 or specially designed hut, sometimes for years.

The Western concern with patient confidentiality is not necessarily shared by other traditions.

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 for the leading lights in the field from US military, intelligence, and propaganda agencies." - Christopher Simpson, Science of Coercion

coercive psychological systems

Mental illness is coerced contractual agreements

"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 independent 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 interested in trained conforming automatons, forbidden from thinking critically and programmed to act on cue.

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 wants to keep you totally for itself.

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.

Those intent on domination come bearing promises.

Seven tactics of worlview manipulation
using psychological coercion systems:

"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 the threat of nonphysical punishments including intense public humiliation, loss of privilege and social status changes within the group to manipulate the victim into strong aversive emotional arousals of anxiety, intense guilt and fear of social 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?

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 amalgamations that want you to purchase consumer products and by the political establishment that wants you to approve of the next preemptive invasion.

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.
