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

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.

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

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.

Jacob, this is amazing...what a nice, unique topic. What I find most interesting here is that you have 3 very different specific concepts or ways to look at/apply the issue. It therefore becomes easy to draw connections between them and decide individually what one thinks is more manipulative and therefore negative to society. The last article being the most direct, could also be argued as the most sincere, where as subtle numbing of the mind could be seen as even more harmful over time.
