Have you seen this?
I am skeptical but I have a)been hypnotized by choice and b) met someone who had Obama’s irrational power over public opinion whom I would later believe to have been using hypnotic techniques that at times influenced me and I would have to work to ‘think through’ as I have never done since with any speaker.
In my opinion, the article gets interesting at page 17. It hi-lights something I have always found very strange and stylized about Obama’s speech and it seems to match the articles description of the hypnotic technique of ‘pacing’ (making focused statements that are undeniably true in order to frame false statements effectively. Sort of the way the lie dector technician asks you to confirm true statemetns like your name and age etc.)
Here’s an excerpt:
Three of Obama’s favorite hypnotic paces are “that’s why I stand here tonight”, “now is the time”, and “this
moment.” Just these three pacing statements are used by Obama a total of fourteen (14) times throughout
this single speech.
In this speech, Obama essentially said “as I stand before you tonight” three separate times, around the
beginning, middle, and end of the speech to continue pacing the audience throughout, as follows:
AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHES
EXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 17
1. That’s why I stand here tonight. Because for two hundred and thirty two years, at each moment
when that promise was in jeopardy, ordinary men and women - students and soldiers, farmers and
teachers, nurses and janitors — found the courage to keep it alive.
2. The fundamentals we use to measure economic strength are whether we are living up to that
fundamental promise that has made this country great - a promise that is the only reason I am
standing here tonight.
3. But I stand before you tonight because all across America something is stirring. What the naysayers
don’t understand is that this election has never been about me. It’s been about you.
In the same speech, Obama says “now is the time” six times throughout. While he phrase is apparent, it
sounds to everyone like just his power-phrase or theme for the speech.
1. Now is the time to end this addiction, and to understand that drilling is a stop-gap measure, not a
long-term solution. Not even close.
2. Now is the time to finally meet our moral obligation to provide every child a world-class education,
because it will take nothing less to compete in the global economy.
3. Now is the time to finally keep the promise of affordable, accessible health care for every single
American.
4. Now is the time to help families with paid sick days and better family leave, because nobody in
America should have to choose between keeping their jobs and caring for a sick child or ailing
parent.
5. Now is the time to change our bankruptcy laws, so that your pensions are protected ahead of CEO
bonuses; and the time to protect Social Security for future generations.
6. And now is the time to keep the promise of equal pay for an equal day’s work, because I want my
daughters to have exactly the same opportunities as your sons.
It is no coincidence that he happens to use these phrases that are subconscious pacing statements because
they are immediately and verifiably true by their most simplistic terms, and cause the subconscious to
accept the hypnotist as a source for such absolute truth.
Obama also says essentially “this moment” five times, serving the same pacing purpose.
1. We meet at one of those defining moments - a moment when our nation is at war, our economy is in
turmoil, and the American promise has been threatened once more.
2. This moment - this election - is our chance to keep, in the 21st century, the American promise alive.
3. You have shown what history teaches us - that at defining moments like this one, the change we
need doesn’t come from Washington.
4. America, this is one of those moments.
5. At this moment, in this election, we must pledge once more to march into the future
Notice how for each instance without exception, he has words before or after “moment” to make it
absolutely immediately and verifiably true, such as “we meet at”, or “this election”, moments “like this
one”, or “this is one of those moments.” The notion that this is all also a coincidence is absurd. This is
carefully crafted hidden hypnotic pacing. And, this is only the beginning.
Obama put these 14 pacing hypnotic language patterns into his speech knowing them to be part of a
hypnotic trance induction. It is not “just the way he talks” nor “coincidence.”
I agree. 666 And now Palin is saying he “loves the country”. She’s even falling in line. I’m so disappointed.
Yeah, it’s voodoo all right.
It has been over thirty years since I listened to a college professor tell me about this technique. I have forgotten everything except that it is actually an effective technique under some circumstances.
Do any of you have anything that is more up todate?
Thanks. Will try to read this evening.
1. Do I think Obumma uses NLP? Most probably.
2. Do I think demonic forces assist him and his crew? 100% DEFINITELY.
Au contraire - I think Obama’s folks have done pretty well at times getting inside McCain’s OODA loop.
Colonel, USAFR
I never thought he was even mildly interesting as a speaker. I have wondered what the appeal was. He struck me as smarmy, arrogant, elitist and repulsive.
I wouldn’t buy a used car from him, let alone vote for him for President.
And that was my response BEFORE he openly exposed himself as a Marxist.
Perhaps it only works on the weak minded.
The article hi-lights Obama’s repulsive arrogance - makes the claim that this is the hypnotic technique called a ‘lead’. After making ‘pacing’ comments (true statements like ‘I am standing here’) then Obama is to insert hypnotic suggestion which are what we find so narcissistically arrogant:
Page 19 of the article - here’s an excerpt.
Notice how Obama rarely if ever asks for our vote in his speeches. (or money) After repeated and
continual pacing an entire audience of millions with statements that are undoubtedly true that lower our
critical factors’ defenses, Obama just slips in the hypnotic command (the lead) e.g. ...“and that is why I will
be your next President.”
“Me, too. Frankly, my reaction to Obama is one of instant revulsion. Every time I see him speak more than a sentence or two, I develop an immediate dislike and even feeling of physical discomfort.”
I feel the same way. It’s almost like living in Steven King’s book “The Stand”, and obama is Randall Flagg.
I posted extensively on the fact that as I listened to Barack Obama speak at the Democrat convention in 2004, I was at first attracted to his style, but it wasn’t long before I noticed a discomforting familiarity that I couldn’t place, something about the cadence and the use of emotional buzz words. Then I realized, he sounded just Marjoe Goertner, the boy evangelist, the fraudulent tent preacher and healer.
When I posted this, some Freepers pointed out that it was a favored technique of the Nazis also. I did a search on mind control and Nazis and sure enough, they were right.
It does only work on the weak-minded and highly suggestible. Absolutely no one can be hypnotized if they aren’t willing. Mandrake the Magician can’t make a hypnotic gesture and make someone crow like a rooster.
Performance hypnotists have been banned from military installations for over 30 years, in the fear that individuals with access to highly classified information, or nuclear assets might be given hypnotic suggestions. Medical hypnosis was a disqualification for individuals on the Personnel Reliability Program (USAF program for those with access to nuclear weapons, codes, or delivery systems)
“Perhaps it only works on the weak minded. “
Apparently so
I begin to believe that I am very fortunate that I have read transcripts but have not listened to his speeches live.
I couldnt’ understand why people rave about his eloquence because he is repetitive and irrational.
The article hi-lights the irrational logic leaps in Obama’s speech that I can never make but that causes others to swoon, faint, excuse the unexcusable.
In the article it’s referred to as the the hypnotic technique ‘linking’ and apparently linking has to work if you are to faint, swoon, or vote for Obama. Here is an exerpt from Page 20:
Logically there is no connection at all between “change” and why he should be President. Same when
Obama describes how bad the economy is, and how bad government is, and then follows with “and that is
why I want to be your next President.” When he has only listed problems, the logical derivative is only that
someone who is good at solving those problems should be President. But he has not made any logical
argument as to why it should be him.
I don’t know whether Obama is deliberately using hypnosis techniques or whether it just comes naturally to him, but I do know that I have never been able to listen to him speak for longer than 15-20 seconds. To me his style is very off-putting. Not merely boring, but actually repellant in a way I can’t explain. His face is pleasant enough, his voice is pleasantly deep, but I find myself lurching for the remote control, much the same way I used to do when Hillary suddenly appeared on TV or the radio.
ACK My eyes.. lol
that is very interesting
