Back on October 25, 2008, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons published an article on Obama's use of neurolinguistic programming in his speeches entitled "Oratory—or hypnotic induction?" I thought it worth mentioning to you guys that I discovered today that the article in question had been scrubbed from AAPS archives. The title is still listed in the AAPS archives, but the article itself is gone.
An article entitled "An Examination of Obama’s Use of Hidden Hypnosis Techniques in His Speeches" is quite similar to the one in question and as of this writing has not yet been scrubbed from the internet. Anyone interested in this subject should make a personal copy.
Whether or not a person puts stock in such thinking, I thought it worth mentioning that Obama or one of his minions apparently believed the article sufficiently damaging that it took steps to deprive the public from considering the analysis presented.
Is Obama the brains of the message or just a good messeger or both?
The jug eared Kenyan was so transparently sickening, cliche ridden. I lasted 20 seconds
Not the one that has been scrubbed...{:-)
This one is still up there...But the "net neutrality" gestapo will probably be scrubbing it and taking names very soon...
It is good for that, but I'm not in the sales biz so haven't used it in that way.
“Can a person who has been successfully subjected to NLP be, for lack of a better term, reverse engineered to determine what post-hypnotic suggestions, triggers, and commands were planted and by what specific means (pacing, anchors, etc)?”
Yes, I do that all the time to heal inadvertant programming.
“Do you think that mass hypnosis has the same effect as cult induction (i.e. are the subjects instructed to unconsciously avoid thinking, reality, self-analysis, idol criticism, etc).”
Yes, while some of the techniques vary between group and individual application, they are the same principles.
Yes, the cadences. It is the reason that the marching orders are used in boot camp to get recruits to follow orders. It’s also the reson that rap music has such an influence over its listeners.
“A long time ago I called out his use of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), almost textbook case and his speechwriter, Lakoff, taught it . It is something I study and use in my job and recognize it immediately.”
“You get any extra sales out of it?? Just wondering, nothing like expanding your sales skills.”
People who use it to manipulate others are responsible for their actions.
“Is Obama the brains of the message or just a good messeger or both?”
Why do you think he is addicted to the teleprompter. This is all pre programmed.
Given that, it seems Obama is directing both barrels of this shotgun at the American public. And that might explain his remarkable success as evidenced by his creation of what we conservatives call the 'Kool-Ade intoxicated' crowd.
Knowing you are a professional, I would love to get your opinion on the behavior of this crowd vis-a-vis their complete reliance on character assassination and their assiduous avoidance of anything like rational thinking, logic, and empirical reasoning. It has been my experience that cults are conditioned to check their minds and consciences at the door (i.e. relegate their minds to group leaders).
Does it seem to you that this is what we are witnessing in the Left's purely emotional (limbic) attacks on conservatives who oppose Obama ("racists, teabaggers, etc.") and in blaming them for the Tucson shooting for example?
My policy is to never listen to Obama’s speeches. I’ve never heard more than a few sentences of any speech he’s given. Same with Clinton, and especially Hillary. There are some people you just instinctively know are lying with every word they speak. Why give them my precious time? If I want to know what some politician said, I can read the transcript.
...so sayeth (twice) the average senseless consumer...
I thought they called him articulate because he could read (don’t they think news readers on TV are articulate and smart too?)
It’s not a lisp. It’s a sibilant S.
IOW, his handlers trained him well.
In my previous answer to you, I referred to Zero’s “handlers”, but “puppet masters” is a more apt term.
Thank you for the info. Fascinating — and scary.
My knowledge vs his world view and his political view was, by themselves, enough to make me change the channel within the first 30 seconds of any speech he’s made (to keep my blood pressure in check). But, there was something else - something reason alone could not qualify - in his oration, that I could never put my finger on, that just said to me that this guy was - in his speeches - 100 times slicker than “Slick Willy” ever hoped to be.
Hmm. Format fail. Don’t know what happened.
