My hypothesis right now is that the "shock doctrine" is going to escalate to get us used to being in a crisis. I think it's used to shock the people into a suggestibility and emotional and guided reactions, but I also think they want us to start getting used to being in crisis mode. I think shocking the people with declaration of the NWO or something all at once is way too much, and their reaction can be way too unpredictable and most likely against the PTB. But if people are used to having a major crisis and the government "changing things" in order to "deal with it", followed by moments of hope and euphoria and seeming light at the end of a tunnel, followed by another crisis, and then hope, and then crisis, then the shocks become much more than just to scare people into compliance, they induce transmarginal inhibition over time.

Patients who have reached this shutdown point often become socially dysfunctional or develop one of several personality disorders. Often patients who dissociate during and after the experience, will more easily dissociate or shut down during stressful or painful experiences
And it seems basically the reaction the people exhibited to the economic situation... no reaction. Just kinda a collective sad sigh and let their "caretakers" take care of it how they see fit. No popular outrage, no reaction that I could see of any significance. When the people that caused it took over a trillion of our tax money are are now spending billions on their bonuses and thousands on luxury vacations as we speak (seriously), people just shrugged and sighed again. That's like the stockholm syndrome, we're being completely screwed and disenfranchised as those who did it to us get filthy rich and take luxury vacations right in front of our faces, and we do nothing. It just doesn't get any more blatant than that, the programming is damn near complete....

There are three stages passed through for state of TMI to be reached.
1. equivalent phase: when the response matches the stimuli, which is considered the normal baseline behavior.
2. paradoxical phase: associated with quantity reversal, occurs when small stimuli receive major response and a major stimuli elicit small responses.
3. ultra-paradoxical: the final stage, associated with quality reversal in which negative stimulation results in positive responses and vice versa.[2]
Doesn't #2 kinda sound what happened after 911? The people basically let Bush blow up the world at will and kill hundreds of thousands of civilians and counting in 2 wars, epic economic mismanagement, an entirely new war on terror, patriot acts to remove ou freedoms, and on and on. This is all a reaction to... 911 which only killed 3000 people. But a reaction to an economic crisis that is REALLY a national disaster that requires action by the people? *crickets chirping*
wiki said:
An organism can progress through these stages by increased stimulation, random negative stimulation, reversing positive and negative stimulation, or physically debilitating the organism.
So everybody's reaction about the Obama election, even on this forum, definitely looks like positive stimulation, almost "paradoxically" so. It's a drastic reverse of the negative stimulation we've been getting with the economy, terrorism, wars and "conflicts" (like the Russia thing just recently), etc. I think this fits the bill of reversal, and this can only mean one thing, negative stimulation is coming again, get ready for another crisis.
Oh but they aren't even hiding it, they actually
TOLD US that we'll be getting one (to a reaction of chirping crickets again).
SOTT quoting Joe Biden said:
"Mark my words," the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday. "It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy."
No Joe, not to test Obama's mettle. This, like all the other crises, is for us. The programming is really nearing completion people.

The sudden conversion methods of mental conditioning rely heavily on TMI. Of the ten elements of control (environment control, physical fatigue, mental fatigue, tension or uncertainty, confession, superstimulation, crisis, euphoria, proselytization, and restimulation), six can be seen as stimulation toward TMI. Organizations that practice sudden conversion, such as military boot camps, prisons, and extreme psychiatric treatments, often have individuals enter TMI states which may result in permanent psychological damage.
Doesn't that list basically match exactly what we've been getting?
Laura has put it very succinctly in

Four Main Types of Stress
Among Pavlov's most important findings was the what can happen to conditioned behavior when the brain of a dog is pushed to the "ultraboundary" limit by stresses and conflict beyond its habitual response capacity. He was able to bring about what he called a "rupture in higher nervous activity" by utilizing four main types of imposed stresses.
1) The first type of stress was simply an increase in the intensity of the signal to which the dog was initially conditioned. If this was gradually increased, at a certain point, when the signal was too strong for its system, the dog would begin to break down.
2) The second way of achieving the ultraboundary event was to increase the time between the giving of the signal and the arrival of food. If a dog was conditioned to receive food five seconds after the warning signal, and this period was then prolonged, signs of restlessness and abnormal behavior would become evident in the less stable dogs. Pavlov discovered that the dog's brains revolted against any abnormally long waiting period while under stress. Breakdown would occur when the dog had to either exert very strong, or very prolonged, inhibition. (Human beings also find protracted waiting while under stress to be debilitatin: worse than the event that produces the anxiety.)
3) The third way of inducing a breakdown was to confuse the dogs by anomalies in the conditioning signal. If positive and negative signals were given one after the other, (yes, no, yes, no, etc), the hungry dog would become uncertain as to what would happen next/ and this disrupted the normal nerve stability. This is also true with human beings.
4) The fourth way of inducing a breakdown in a dog was to destabilize the dog's physical condition in some way, either by subjecting it to long periods of work, inducing gastro-intestinal disorders, fever, disturbing the glandular balance, surgery, etc.
Again, although Obama seems to have provided temproary sensation of hope, people are all on edge. We are all "waiting under stress", our situation on every level is in shambles and people are waiting to see what Obama will do, or what will happen next. Doesn't matter if you're a SOTT reader or typical sleeping American, somehow we're ALL "waiting under stress" to see what happens next. Everyone is well aware that the economy is unstable and out of control, that tensions with Iran and other places are escalating, so we're in constant state of crisis / hope / crisis / hope and the entire time no real solutions, but a constant of worry, stress, and fear. And of course, the economic situation is basically forcing people into #4 on the above list - long periods of hard and painful work just to stay above the water financially. We're being subjected to ALL of the above, and I honestly don't think I'm stretching or exaggerating anything when I say that, it appears pretty blatant and by the book.
And this is how they intend to declare an overt NWO and have everybody love them for it, it's the ultra-paradoxical stage of TMI, because I think we already passed #2 where we seriously over-react, and in other cases seriously under-react. We're already entering #3:
Laura's blog said:
3) The Ultra-Paradoxical Phase. The third stage is where positive conditioned responses suddenly reverse to negative responses and negative ones to positive. The dog (or person) may suddenly find that they like what they formerly detested and loathe what they formerly loved. In this stage, the organism's response becomes opposed to all its previous conditioning.
So when the C's tell us that "invasion happens when programming is complete" I think its safe to say that if programming is not complete, it's certainly very close to being complete. And I agree that this election spectacle is playing out like some movie right now, it's almost unreal. But if we think THIS is a movie, wait till the bigger comets start hitting, marshal law is declared, or war on Iran, or literally a UFO invasion. I think this "movie" is quickly going to get a lot more fascinating, unreal, and terrifying.
And I gotta say that it's hard not being shocked by it all as it happens, even if we all basically saw it coming a mile away. It's still crazy to observe this unbelievable show. I just hope we don't get sucked in by the spectacle and craziness of it all and lose sight of our goals or be immobilized. In other words, let's not get shell-shocked together with the rest of the planet and remember the Work and what we're doing and why, even as the craziness escalates into epic proportions.
