Cracked - 6 brainwashing techniques

[Hammer of Los]

Joe, are you referring to the fact that he is using the techniques he is purporting to expose? If so, I thought Hugh had made that point already.

If its something else, don't be coy Joe, let us in on the secret.

[Joe Hillshoist]

Well yeah he is using the techniques he is claiming to expose, but so are you. You brainwash yourself all the time, as do I.

In fact much of the process of thinking involves brainwashing to allow the thoughts to make sense. Like defining a and b before you say a + b = ab.

[§ê¢rꆧ]

That Cracked article, is like textbook psyops, isn't it? Would be a great thing to break it all down and post it up on a website, to make people aware of what they are doing.

That Cracked article, is like textbook psyops, isn't it? Would be a great thing to break it all down and post it up on a website, to make people aware of what they are doing.

That Cracked article is meant to be viral-marketed to spread (mainly) 9/11 disinfo and buy big creds for the disinfoteer author (?)- atleast the name put on the article, anyway.

I doubt he wrote it. Because every single one of the six examples given is presented with subliminal psyops embedded but disguised as a fair'n'balanced primer on manipulation.

Note the images presented and proximity of text to those images. Like the one of Alex Jones. And the tshirt message about media. Note who gets blamed for the 'Obama's a Muslim' lie.

This is much too sophisticated to be anything but a professional CIA product, not just from some asshole video gamer.

The subject matter, techniques of manipulation exploiting cognitive and neuro-science, is available elsewhere without the embedded brown stuff.
Heck, I've been exposing the headline and billboard effect right here at RI for a few years, for instance.
And I know others working on exposing these psyops tricks, too.

So it seems that the spooks know that anti-spook truth-tellers are exposing this stuff and so they are pre-emptively hijacking it here in Cracked.com to include disinfo.

And that is a real education on psyops:
They act pre-emptively using viral-marketing and the same subliminal techniques that They've used for decades and They have the expert knowledge and media access advantage to deploy their devices disguised as something else.

[Hammer of Los]

It's just grist for the mill to us.

They do rather like to provide us with many textbook cases with which to pursue our education in psyop, don't they?

Shouldn't "Detecting psyop in the english-speaking media" be a required course in schools these days? Maybe I'll take up teaching again..

5 Real People Who Got Screwed by Famous Movies Based on Them

#1. Oliver Stone's JFK Declares an Innocent Man Guilty of Helping Kill Kennedy

In Oliver Stone's film JFK, Kevin Costner plays District Attorney Jim Garrison, who, in 1966, comes across evidence that President Kennedy was actually murdered by some sort of CIA-backed anti-Cuban black ops group dissatisfied with the way he was handling the commies. At the center of this conspiracy is a guy named David Ferrie, who in a flashback scene is shown almost single-handedly planning the entire plot to kill JFK.

Ferrie's main co-conspirator in all this is businessman Clay Shaw, and when they're not planning presidential assassinations, they like to blow off steam by hosting fabulous gay masquerades. If you don't feel like seeing Tommy Lee Jones' gold-painted nipples, look away now.

At one point, Ferrie comes to Garrison and admits to knowing Lee Harvey Oswald and being involved in the black ops group -- a few days later, he's found dead in his apartment, strongly hinting that he either killed himself or the CIA killed him and faked it as a suicide.


But in Real Life ...

The entire point of Stone's depiction of events is that it's impossible to tell which parts are fake. In real life, Garrison did indeed reopen the case on the JFK assassination, and he did in fact believe it was a conspiracy involving Ferrie, Shaw and black ops agents working to overthrow Castro (and bitter about JFK not helping them). In real life, the jury only needed about an hour to decide that the whole thing was bullshit. It had something to do with Garrison having no evidence for his theory whatsoever.

In fact, the only reason Ferrie was involved in the investigation at all was that he had years earlier served with Oswald in the Civil Air Patrol, and because a mental patient called Jack Martin told the FBI that Ferrie had used his hypnotist powers to mind control Oswald into killing Kennedy...

http://www.cracked.com/article_19851_5- ... em_p2.html

Of course Cracked glosses over or omits the main issues with the Garrison/Ferrie story, i.e., the CIA infiltrated Garrison's investigation and doomed it from the start, Ferrie going up to Clinton-Jackson with LHO, his cozy relationship with Guy Banister, his travels to Texas the day of the assassination...

6 Famous News Stories That Forgot to Tell You the Best Part

#6. The Anthrax Attacks After 9/11 Were the Work of One Mentally Ill American Scientist

...The Story You Didn't Know:

First, if you followed the story in the years since, you know that eventually investigators started to think that maybe it wasn't al-Qaida at all. They finally narrowed in on a suspect: American bioweapons expert Dr. Steven Hatfill. But Hatfill didn't do it -- in fact, he eventually got over $5 million from the U.S. government for their accusations.

Suspect No. 2 was a Dr. Bruce Ivins, and we say "was" because he committed suicide in 2008. And the reason he took his life, besides his long history of mental illness and depression, was that the FBI was on the brink of naming him as their chief suspect in the attacks. The FBI traced the anthrax spores to a laboratory where he worked, and not all that many people had access to them. So, what, was he a secret jihadist? Was he paid by al-Qaida? Or was he a right-wing anti-government type, like Timothy McVeigh?

Well, here's where it gets weird. Dr. Ivins was actually one of the experts who helped in the aftermath of the anthrax attack (he worked at the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases). In fact, the Department of Defense actually awarded him for his work. He was a churchgoing dad who juggled and volunteered with the Red Cross.

But despite his Sunday-school-teacher resume, there were some bad-guy-in-an-Oliver-Stone-movie qualities about Ivins' life as well. Like how he was so obsessed with an old unrequited romance from his college days that he stalked the woman's former sorority. We're talking about stalked-stalked. As in, he secretly made derogatory edits on the sorority's Wikipedia page under the name Jimmyflathead...

So in a hit piece on the late Bruce Ivins... Cracked manages to take yet another swipe at Oliver Stone.

The 4 Craziest Moments in the Life of Hugo Chavez

#1. (Apparently) He Was Killed by Cancer That the U.S. Shot at Him

In 2011, Chavez was convinced that the U.S. had developed a way to induce cancer and that they had used it against him (and other leaders in the region). Much like his offensive tweets that he hoped wouldn't offend anyone, Chavez expressed his concerns with the disclaimer, "I don't want to make any reckless accusations." Smooth, Chavez. Smooth.

"Suck my Chavezticles, CIA cancer robots!"

And of course now that he's dead, those he left behind are resurfacing the old claims. The U.S. has denied these allegations, calling them absurd, but Chavez's evidence is pretty clear-cut. Chavez contracted cancer, Chavez blamed the U.S., cancer killed Chavez. The prosecution rests.

That's mostly what they do, lie, not spy.
