Conscience Killers

I agree. Lisa is definitely onto something with here remarks about the "psychic driving" being done by the PTB and that the objective of this is to numb and ultimately kill conscience.

In a review of the book "Bluebird: Deliberate Creation of Multiple Personality by Psychiatrists", written by Colin A. Ross, M.D. (ISBN: 0-9704525-1-9), Norma Lawrence writes:

Mention is made of something called "psychic driving". It was a method of behavior modification developed by Dr. Ewen Cameron (prominent Canadian Psychiatrist who was funded by the CIA and the U.S. military). Psychic driving was used as part of his brain-washing techniques, and was discussed in a paper of the same title. Cameron said, "Analogous to [psychic driving] is the breakdown of the individual under continuous interrogation." Ross goes on to discuss psychic driving:

Psychic driving was a procedure carried out in two stages; in the first stage, patients were depatterned, which meant that they were reduced to a vegetable state through a combination of massive amounts of electro convulsive shock, drug-induced sleep and sensory isolation and deprivation. When fully depatterned, patients were incontinent of urine and feces, unable to feed themselves, and unable to state their name, age, location, or the current date.

In the second stage, psychic driving was introduced. This consisted of hundreds of hours of tape loops being played to the patient through earphones, special helmets or speakers in the sensory isolation room. The tape loops repeated statements of supposed psychological significance. If such procedures were carried out under third world dictators, they would be denounced as human rights violations by American and Canadian Psychiatry, and would be called brainwashing. (129)
[The reason this may be of significance is not only that many victims have felt that their lives have been systematically broken down, but there is some discussion that the high frequency sound we hear may be attempts at hypnotic suggestion. The voices are sped up to coincide with the speed of the brain, and so are recognized by the brain but bypass the consciousness.]

Ross makes mention of an "article in The Dallas Morning News, Jan. 29, 1997, describing how the Baltimore Sun obtained a 1983 CIA manual through the Freedom of Information Act. The manual was used to teach non-coercive interrogation techniques to foreign agents... The manual taught techniques studied in BLUEBIRD, ARTICHOKE and MKULTRA; the same brainwashing techniques were used... by the Gestapo, on Patty Hurst..., and on patients at Penetang Psychiatric Hospital... The CIA manual taught techniques for the induction of 'intense fear, deep exhaustion, solitary confinement, unbearable anxiety and other forms of psychological duress,' and was used until at least 1983. (153)
Relating this to Ponerology, we note that Lobaczewski writes:

Psychopaths are conscious of being different from normal people. That is why the "political system" inspired by their nature is able to conceal this awareness of being different. They wear a personal mask of sanity and know how to create a macrosocial mask of the same dissimulating nature. When we observe the role of ideology in this macrosocial phenomenon, quite conscious of the existence of this specific awareness of the psychopath, we can then understand why ideology is relegated to a tool-like role: something useful in dealing with those other naive people and nations. [...]

Pathocrats know that their real ideology is derived from their deviant natures, and treat the "other" - the masking ideology - with barely concealed contempt." [...]

"This privileged class of deviants feels permanently threatened by the "others", i.e. by the majority of normal people. Neither do the pathocrats entertain any illusions about their personal fate should there be a return to the system of normal man.
If the laws of normal man were to be reinstated, they and theirs could be subjected to judgment, including a moralizing interpretation of their psychological deviations; they would be threatened by a loss of freedom and life, not merely a loss of position and privilege. Since they are incapable of this kind of sacrifice, the survival of a system which is the best for them becomes a moral imperative. Such a threat must be battled by means of any and all psychological and political cunning implemented with a lack of scruples with regard to those other "inferior-quality" people that can be shocking in
its depravity. ...

Thus, the biological, psychological, moral, and economic destruction of the majority of normal people becomes, for the pathocrats, a "biological" necessity. Many means serve this end, starting with concentration camps and including warfare with an obstinate, well-armed foe who will devastate and debilitate the human power thrown at him, namely the very power jeopardizing pathocrats rule: the sons of normal man sent out to fight for an illusionary "noble cause." Once safely dead, the soldiers will then be decreed heroes to be revered in paeans, useful for raising a new generation faithful to the pathocracy and ever willing to go to their deaths to protect it. ...

...the masses must be educated and channeled in the direction of imperialist strivings. Such goals must be pursued doggedly so that everyone knows what is being fought for and in whose name a harsh discipline and poverty must be endured. This latter factor effectively limits the possibility of 'subversive' activities on the part of the society of normal people. ...

A normal person's actions and reactions, his ideas and moral criteria, all too often strike abnormal individuals as abnormal. For if a person with some psychological deviations considers himself normal, which is of course significantly easier if he possesses authority, then he would consider a normal person different and therefore abnormal, whether in reality or as a result of conversive thinking. That explains why such people's government shall always have the tendency to treat any dissidents as "mentally abnormal".

Operations such as driving a normal person into psychological illness and the use of psychiatric institutions for this purpose take place in many countries in which such institutions exist. Contemporary legislation binding upon normal man's countries is not based upon an adequate understanding of the psychology of such behavior, and thus does not constitute a sufficient preventive measure against it.
Within the categories of a normal psychological world view, the motivations for such behavior were variously understood and described: personal and family accounts, property matters, intent to discredit a witness' testimony, and even political motivations. Such defamatory suggestions are used particularly often by individuals who are themselves not entirely normal, whose behavior has driven someone to a nervous breakdown or to violent protest. Among hysterics, such behavior tends to be a projection onto other people of one's own self-critical associations. A normal person strikes a psychopath as a naive, smart-alecky believer in barely comprehensible theories; calling him "crazy" is not all that far away. [...]

The abuse of psychiatry for purposes we already know thus derives from the very nature of pathocracy as a macrosocial psychopathological phenomenon. After all, that very area of knowledge and treatment must first be degraded to prevent it from jeopardizing the system itself by pronouncing a dramatic diagnosis (Ed: i.e. exposing the pathocrats), and must then be used as an expedient tool in the hands of the authorities. In every country, however, one meets with people who notice this and act astutely against it. [...]

The pathocracy feels increasingly threatened by this area whenever the medical and psychological sciences make progress. After all, not only can these sciences knock the weapon of psychological conquest right out of its hands; they can even strike at its very nature, and from inside the empire, at that.
The pathocracy ensures its continued hold on power by periodically engaging in reduction of the population of normal people - culling the herd - chiefly by means of manufactured war. As Lobaczewski says, "an obstinate and well-armed foe" is used to throw legions of normal people (in the form of the military) at this foe and thereby debilitate and subdue the normal peoples of the world - the only threat to the ruling pathocracy.

Notice also the devilish manipulation whereby these soldiers, deliberately and needlessly sacrificed by the pathocrats, are then lauded as heroes to ensure future generations of cannon fodder. Notice the real life evidence of this where millions of American citizens cry "support our troops". What are they supporting but the futile sacrifice of their own sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, and all to serve the agenda of the psychopaths in power?

A clearer description of what is happening right now in modern day America is unlikely to be found. Expansionism has been made a virtue by the American pathocracy. Bush claims that the U.S. military is spreading "freedom and democracy" when in fact he is pursuing an imperialist agenda. Lobaczewski says:

"This goal must be pursued doggedly so that everyone knows what is being fought for and in whose name harsh discipline and poverty must be endured."
Reference the fact that Americans are being told that they must sacrifice their liberties in order for the government to better wage the "war on terror" and the clampdown on anti-Bush demonstrations because they "harm the war on terror". As regards "creating conditions of poverty" in order to limit the possibility of "subversive" activities on the part of the society of normal people: there is much evidence that the American economy is set for a major nose-dive. When it does, the effect on a large percentage of ordinary Americans (all those not part of the 'monied classes') will be a dramatic re-prioritization, leaving them concerned chiefly with their ability to feed themselves and their families.

But this is only the background of the "psychic driving" that is being done to the American people AND peoples all over the world; pathocracy is not restricted to the U.S. The psychic driving is done via mass media productions including the 911 attack and how it was spun and utilized as described above. More than that, our entire social system is a form of "psychic driving."

This SO links in to the world cup final event. A nice extra bit of global 'conscience killing' programming, with guaranteed huge audience. (as no one takes any notice of politics). ugh.

remeniscent of, for example, being mildly hypnotised via watching TV..., additionally whipped up into a patriotic furvor for ones home team.

In the second stage, psychic driving was introduced. This consisted of hundreds of hours of tape loops being played to the patient through earphones, special helmets or speakers in the sensory isolation room. The tape loops repeated statements of supposed psychological significance.
TV again: repeat scenarios a la the 'world cup' fiasco, whilst in the hypnotic state. how many times did we see that headbut replayed, and then 'spun'? The final France v Italy game wasn't the only example - in fact cheating of a similar psychopathically manipulative nature seemed to go on throughout the tournament. The game in which England was knocked out was an example, with Ronaldo 'spoiling for a fight', without actually doing anything 'against the rules', with the various faked injuries, false dives etc, and personal jibes at players most likely to get angry and do something stoopid (ie. Rooney). Though of course I might be a bit biased about that, being English ;-)

But this is only the background of the "psychic driving" that is being done to the American people AND peoples all over the world; pathocracy is not restricted to the U.S. The psychic driving is done via mass media productions including the 911 attack and how it was spun and utilized as described above.
yesterday I listened to the WingTV podcast that Henry linked to.
highly recommended, by me too. Good work, WingTV folks!
 
Thanks for the link, Henry. I had not heard about WING TV until Lisa's posts started appearing on the Forum threads, and so I thought this would be a good occasion to go over and have a listen. I'm glad I did. Lisa and Victor are both very passionate and communicate forcefully and effectively. It was an excellent broadcast.

But it set me to thinking: if a conscience is KILLED, is there no way to resurrect it? If the person is a psychopath, obviously not. But have there not been killers and rapists and swindlers who have gone to prison who have truly realized that what they did was morally wrong, and felt genuinely sorry for what they have done? Genuinely felt remorse, I mean, and not just another psychopathic con technique? Isn't that conscience being re-born in them? That seems to me to show that conscience is something that can be "rebooted" so to speak under the proper conditions. Or are there too few for whom that is possible--or is it too late-for it to make any difference?

Or maybe my question is "What is conscience?"

The dictionary was not very helpful. And the excerpts from Lobaczewski, excellent though they are, tell me that conscience is the target of the psychopaths and also why the psychopaths need to attack conscience, but not what is it in itself? Is it a function like vision which can be taken away? Or a learned value that can be re-programmed to some other value?

The answer to the mortality of conscience is important, because if we are surrounded by and immersed in a sea of people with dead and non-resurrectable consciences, then there is nothing we can do except step over the corpses. "Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you," as Dylan says.
