it was amazing

Because of my amazement at how so many people can support and take such awful positions and opinions, I surmised that there must be some sort of intentional mind control or opinion influence going on. Much like what is done to sell a product. There must be puppeteers working the strings that has resulted in such blatant divisions, open hostility, racist resurgence, and political totalitarianism. So, I searched for material that would give me more information how this can be. How the process works. I chose the right book. From historical examples and explanations from WW2 and Korean war of brainwashing and psychological attacks, to Pavlovian theory and its continued application on mass population influence and conditioning, to political conditioning, totalitarian practices of thought control and menticide, it is all in this book. The material in this book could easily cover a college course or multiple courses. It will reinforce my belief that all we think, believe, or assume to be true, our positions on a vast amount of subjects, should constantly be questioned. The question is, is that my thought, my opinion, my deducted appraisal, or have I been fooled by the never ending barrage of verbal conditioning, political conditioning, mass media manipulation, or hypnotized by the daily noises we are bombarded with 24/7. This is happening and I see large parts of the population that have succumbed to it to become little more that automatons. This the only book in many years I took notes on.
