If you think COVIDCon and Communism are identical and utterly evil twins, it isn’t merely your imagination. The brainwashing and other psychological torture that Communist captors exerted against POWs line up perfectly with Our Rulers’ “public health” decrees. Or as Gary from central Florida put it when alerting me to this horror, “The Blue mayors and Governors have a playbook after all.” And they take that playbook from the research of Albert Biderman:
In 1957, sociologist Albert Biderman first described a framework for understanding psychological coercion in the context of confinement (Biderman, 1957). Studying interrogation techniques used to elicit false confessions from American soldiers held as prisoners during the Korean War, Biderman examined how interrogators could manipulate the behavior of prisoners without the use of physical force. He outlined eight methods of coercion used to establish compliance: isolation, monopolization of perception, induced debility or exhaustion, threats, occasional indulgences, demonstration of omnipotence, degradation, and enforcing trivial demands (Table 1).
Go to the link for the table: you’ll be glad you did. It not only lists those “tactics” but also their “purpose.” For example, among the four “purposes” of “isolation” is reducing victims to utter dependence.
With each method of coercion, the interrogators taught the prisoners how to comply without making their demands explicit or inflicting physical violence.
Sounding more and more like what we’ve endured under COVIDCon, isn’t it? But we needn’t re-invent the wheel: someone has listed those eerie and horrific points of convergence (I’ve not succeeded in tracking down the author, though his chart appears on numerous blogs). For example, Communists’ “isolation” finds its COVID counterpart in “Social distancing; Isolation from loved ones, massive job loss…” Again, please click on any of the links in the parenthetical as I’m unable to reproduce the graphic here.
Perhaps most tellingly, Biderman’s “framework was not widely known until 2008, when a hearing by the United States Senate Armed Services Committee revealed that Biderman’s principles were used as the basis for aggressive interrogation techniques used against suspected terrorists held in Guantanamo Bay.”
More proof that Our Rulers are not only Marxists but are waging an undeclared, very obvious war on us. And what a supine enemy the sheeple make with their cooperation, let alone their refusal to return fire!
