The present system uses mind control techniques on us a great deal. The link from which the following information is sourced is here.
The usual mind control technique pattern is known a the BITE model. All of the following techniques have been directed at me from various agents since I began this project 9/14. In other words, I have broken out of a cult that has been continually trying to trick me back into it. That cult is what many of us view as “our culture” but it really is media mind control mostly administered through watching tv.
The BITE Model:
Behavior Control: This type of control is all about dictating who a person is and what they do. Behavior control can include restricting what types of food a person eats, what they wear, when they sleep and who they are allowed to associate with. Financial exploitation, manipulation or dependence is also often a key component of behavior control. Individualism is discouraged and groupthink is encouraged.
Information Control: To exert undue influence, cults will often withhold or distort information to make it more acceptable (or simply flat-out lie). Information control involves using deception, discouraging access to non-cult sources of information, encouraging spying on each other and producing propaganda such as newsletters, YouTube videos, movies and other media.
Thought Control: Cults will also seek to control how members think so that the group's doctrine is accepted as the truth. Loaded language and clichés are used to stop critical thinking and reduce complex ideas to platitudes and buzzwords. Often, only positive thoughts are allowed; constructive criticism or questions are immediately shut down.
Emotional Control: Members of cults experience extreme emotional highs and lows; they're showered with praise one moment and then made to feel guilty, fearful and unworthy the next. They're told that any problems they experience are their own fault and never that of the leader or group. The cult instills irrational fears about leaving or questioning the leader's authority.
