TOPIC: Mind Control
All around the world people watch television, watch movies, cartoons, buy unwanted/un-needed products and obey useless directions. Don’t you think there is something behind that? In my opinion this is called MIND CONTROL. People that live a fake life in their living rooms watching and believing everything the television says. The television ‘world’ kills! Sending subliminal messages, giving fake facts, making you feel uncomfortable so you take actions considering it in order to have a ‘happier’ life which ends miserably. The Media are making a lot of money through this process of mind control which could be through television, adverts and religion. As well as that, baring in mind that mind control originated from the far past of WW2, as Nazis kidnapped children and killed others to their eyes in order to bring up fear into their living so they would obey- this is also a form of mind control. Using sufficient substance abuse to alter the human mind is also another way of doing it excluding technology and media and that seemed to work for a period of time.

Mind Control 1.0
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmeCg76rn50
In this documentary clip, it goes on and talks about different techniques that people are absorbed into in order to live a fake reality. A Islamic believer shows his aspects of mind control through various ways through the media and then it goes on to show facts about Disney cartoons that draw children in but behind everything they send subliminal messages of the word ‘sex’ and show various sex-like positions that children do not seem to realize but are drawn into so much that they keep watching over and over. People have ended up buying products they don’t need to have just to fit into our ‘high class’ society as they watch models and ‘tv stars’ with sunglasses and facial products, etc. Our society is becoming much more isolated instead of living reality, trapped inside their house walls with televisions, food and no noise, lacking the real life enjoyment. This article is trying to tell us that the media is controlling humans to the point that they become fake! ‘Do you own your kids, or do the media own your kids?’ Children enjoy more television time than TV time and want more and more toys based on Barbie and Disney, etc. There should be changes in the world considering these facts.

The Secrets of Mind Control

This article goes on to tell us how mind control projects resulted in extensive political abuse of psychiatry, people actually did experiments on PEOPLE! Using electric shock forms, drugs such as LSD (psychoactive drug) on children aged 5, electrode brain implantations, uranium injections into the brain and these negative ways of controlling the mind; which was done as a project resulted in drug disinhibition, prolonged sleep, and prolonged psychological isolation. On one of the patients they tripled the amount of electric shock which was meant to be used and this lead to total amnesia. (Amnesia: not having the ability to remember anything). Now it has become strictly illegal to do this to humans because that decreases life span and mental health. In order for people to live naturally and be healthy they shouldn’t be mind controlled through substances and abuse.
Article 3: Germany
The Ultimate Terror
Mind Control
http://educate-yourself.org/mc/
This documentary based article tells us the truths about Nazi Germany in WW2 and how mind control took place from its origins without using media and subliminal messages to alter the mind. Instead, conflicting violence to build up fear in order for children to obey rules. “threatens virtually all of humanity, is to understand how it functions and take steps to reduce your vulnerability.” Because of the concentration camps the Nazis had, there were many people that could use the victims from there in order to experiment as they were frightened and available for experimentation. “The victim of mind control can also be affected by specific sounds, words, or actions known as triggers.” The children that survived the caging and beating were further on used for sexual abuse or assassination. The Nazis used the form of live slaughtering in front of the children in order to scare them and make them do what they wanted them to do. That was a traumatizing and brutal form of controlling the mind.
Reflection and Analysis:
Mind altering substance usage such as LSD, other forms of shock, and brainwashing techniques are all ways to control the human mind. Through the years going back to Nazi Germany, people, and children were brutalized, brought into fear in order to obey as they had no choice which was an easy way to control the mind. Having to see people loose their lives, etc made you listen. Furthermore into the future, through media and television, adverts and films people are becoming more and more isolated and mind altered as they live a fake life having to buy pointless products to ‘be happy’ although they don’t need them. Following different trends and fashions in order to fit into their surroundings. Baring in mind, all the children that follow subliminal messages unnoticeably and want to buy useless toys, watch cartoons forever and never listen to their parents. Doesn’t that mean that our society is facing a downfall? Most of the arts, music and creative thinking sectors have shrunk because people have images of ‘if you are not a doctor/lawyer you will not have money to raise a family’ is that not mind controlling? We have to try to find ways of entertaining people without technology and movies, adverts. Involve them in more concerts, outdoor events and sports to enjoy life as it should be! But this is in my own opinion.

Entry 1, Decriminalizing Marijuana
Entry 1, February 05
Topic: Decriminalizing Marijuana
Marijuana has been a serious issue worldwide in our community. It has been viewed in many different aspects through different cultures around the world. It has faced certain critiques as well as understandings. Many countries have different aspects of its use and put out different laws depending on their views. Countries such as Holland, Canada, Jamaica, and Iran go for its use and decriminalization whereas countries such as Cyprus, United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates have strict laws against it. It has been misused in many places but used wisely (as a hemp plant) in many others to produce clothes, ropes as well as medical care.
Article 1: Canada
CBC News
In depth Marijuana: Canada's marijuana law and the debate over decriminalization
http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/marijuana/marijuana_legalize.html
The article examines the issue of the use of cannabis in Canada. It goes on to talk about how people use it personally, and have rights to own a certain amount. Breaking the rules will lead to a fine. But as a nation, Canada is very calm with the use, as it is used medically in patients who suffer from Scoliosis, sleeping disorders, etc.
“Cannabis is less harmful than alcohol and should be treated not as a criminal issue but as a social and public health issue” a quote said from Nolin (part of the article). They go against criminal records as they don’t see it as a ‘drug’ so people caught with possession are charged fines and not sentenced to prison.
Article 2: USA & Mexico
CNN News
Former Mexican official urges legalizing marijuana
http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/americas/02/02/us.mexico.marijuana/index.html
“The United States and Mexico should both legalize marijuana in an attempt to break the power of the Mexican drug cartels and end the spiraling violence south of the border, a former Mexican foreign minister said Tuesday.” They say that its impossible to stop distribution of marijuana in the United States through Mexico as some states such as California distribute marijuana legally for medical purpose. It states that other countries such as Afghanistan smuggle drugs such as heroin and no one does anything to stop them because the government is making profit, so the hemp plant shouldn’t be even considered anything in front of Class A drugs being trafficked. X-rayed machines will be put up on the border to take some control of the cars that are passing for weapons, etc through the Mexican border, but as for hemp, it does not seem to bother them.
Article 3: Portugal
Time News
Drugs in Portugal: Did Decriminalization Work?
http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1893946,00.html
Portugal decriminalized, not only marijuana but every other drug in their country, literally dropping down the laws and not putting people into prison for possession; instead they send people with possession to psychologists, health care, community service, as they say that prison drives ‘addicts’ or ‘users’ to a downfall in life. The drug use rate rapidly decreased in the country which proves other countries wrong for fearing decriminalization. Less people actually smoked marijuana as it wasn’t considered a ‘serious matter’ and people didn’t really care. “Proportionally, more Americans have used cocaine than Portuguese have used marijuana.”
Reflection/Analysis
In my opinion, I do not see the hemp plant as being something strikingly illegal. It was used for thousands of years even before Christ to produce products such as ropes, clothes, footwear, etc. Through-out the past, it has been consumed by humans worldwide. Some over users go towards a downfall as they face laziness, depression and emotional stress/feelings and many other disorders such as forgetting a lot, sleeping disorders, mood swings. On the other hand though, the hemp plant being worldwide as well as know as a fact, it is the fastest growing plant on the planet. So in my personal opinion I don’t consider it being a drug, it is just a mind altering substance. In California as said it is used for medical reasons to cure patients that have to fight through Scoliosis (back pains), have sleeping disorders, appetite disorders and illnesses revolving in this sector. If it is used wisely and within boundaries it can be a positive aspect in human life as it also relieves stress. Countries such as Portugal and Holland decriminalized it in order to reduce the usage of other substances such as cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine. And this plan seems to work very well as people use hemp instead of Class A drugs. It has reduced crime and drug intake rate. Hemp as a substance was going to replace paper at one point in history, and some American law was written on hemp too. People that use this plant wisely don’t seem to have an altering lifestyle and it does not affect their personality. So I think if marijuana was decriminalized for personal use as well as medical it would not be a problem in today’s society as drug & crime intake would reduce and people will view everything differently. Other countries have strict laws though as they have different political views, but in my opinion it should be decriminalized.
