Tactics Agents Employ to Attempt to Gain Control of the Mind
What happens in these type of abusive techniques is the victim is psychologically bombarded with intense personal psychological attack in order to force the victim into complying with the agent. It is done psychologically to destabilize the person to make them easier as a target of manipulation. The agent usually has an organization of peers to also reinforce the work the agent does on the victim. The organization reinforces the brainwashing process consciously on the victim so it is stabilized in the victim. It is those that work with the agent that also apply interpersonal pressure on the victim to reinforce the conformity of change in them. The person’s environment is also manipulated in order to completely take over the person and make sure the changes implanted in the subconscious stay there.
Other tactics employed by an agent and his organization in an attempt to brain wash or mind control a victim or target would include things like:
1. Control Communication- Which includes controlling who the victim speaks to; today things like phone taps are used to monitor who an intended victim communicates with
2. Emotional and Behavioral Manipulation- Ex. May set out to induce fear and paranoia in the victim by doing things like following them to confine their movement
3. Demands for absolute conformity to the wishes of the agent
4. The agent wants the victim to agree that their wishes are faultless
5. Obsessive demands on part of the agent for the victim to comply
6. Manipulation through language and media to reinforce the agents wishes. An example would be a repetitive word or picture
7. Instilling a re-indoctrination in the victims perception of human experience and emotion
8. Getting to make the victim believe that any other beliefs or thoughts other than what the agent wishes are bad and inferior.

The Invasive Mind Control Approach
Mind control is an invasive approach. It sets out to isolate the victim. The reason is to make them dependent on the one inflicting the mind control who we will call the “agent”. The agent’s target is called the victim who the agent sets out to brainwash. In order to be successful at taking control of a victim the agent must have complete control over the targeted victim. Things like sleep, daily patterns and even in severe cases going to the bathroom are all controlled by the agent to affect a particular change that is to be implemented in the victim. These things are controlled to give the agent total domination over the victim.
It is the agents determination to break the will of the victim. This is done systematically through taking and breaking the victims sense of self and identity. Once the agent accomplishes this they then replace all the previous thoughts and behaviors of the victim with what the agent wishes. The agent’s wishes encompasses replaced thoughts, behaviors and attitudes that fit the agent’s goal.
Most psychologists believe that in spite of the agent’s eradication of the person’s identity; who they really are is still hidden in the person’s subconscious mind. They believe that mind control is really a short term effect because once the new identity is not enforced the person goes back to being themselves. The old ideas and behaviors of the victim will slowly start to return once they are no longer under the influence of the agent. This is because mind control is done by manipulating the subconscious mind. By implanting thoughts in the persons subconscious while suppressing others subconsciously the change during the mind control process occurs.

What Are The Three Mind Control Methods?
It is interesting because the idea of “brainwashing” falls into the category of social influence. This is because the idea of brainwashing is used to induce thought reform on the victim. This means that brainwashing and mind control are used to totally change how one thinks and perceive things in relation to his beliefs in a particular societal setting. It’s done by using various means to change a person’s attitudes, beliefs and behaviors. It sets out to make the person like a puppet in which they do whatever the manipulator wants. Here are some basic examples of mind control techniques .
1. Compliance Method – The “Compliance Method” is where the manipulator is not concerned with beliefs of the victim. He is concerned with the victim doing what he says only. The compliance method is also considered a “Do As I Say” Tactic.
2. Persuasion Tactic- The “Persuasion Tactic” style attempts to change the persons attitude. The manipulator of persuasion sets out to make the person believe that what they are trying to force into the victims minds are good for them. They want the victim to believe that if they do what the persuader wants of them that they will be happy, good, successful and healthy.
3. Education Method- The “Education Method” which is also referred to as the “Propaganda Method” is also a social influence method. This focuses on reprogramming ideological, religious or political thoughts and replacing them with the manipulators agenda. It goes after the idea of “don’t believe what they tell you” to affect a change; and “do it” because it’s the right thing to do to get the victim to comply. Brainwashing as such is a severe form of social influence that utilizes “all” of the above methods to manipulate a victim. It sets out to change the victims thoughts against their will and without their consent.

Agents Criteria For Establishing Mind Control
If we go a little further on the idea of what the agent sets uses as criteria to establish for mind control in their victims its:
1. Milieu Control-This involves the victim being social isolated. Social isolation is done primarily through limiting and controlling the victims communication and information within their environment including friends and loved ones. The agent controls the victims contact with these things and people that the victim has.
2. Mystical Manipulation- This is where things are done to appear spontaneous or natural but it is quite the opposite. It is calculated but the agent and the group to make it appear as if divine intervention is occurring in the victims situation. All this is done to make the victim feel that the agent has supernatural powers working for him. What this does in the case of the victim is; if he or she does not comply the supernatural power of the agent will take over. Thus the agent tries to instill his power as fear in the victim. Also the manipulator tries to enforce the idea that if the victim complies they will be bestowed with the same magical powers in time as the manipulator. This is only however if the victim fully complies according to the agent.
3. Demand for Purity- The victim is made to believe that the group and agent are the ultimate right. Everything is seen in terms of black or white. There are no grey areas of thought. Guilt and shame are the devices used here by the manipulator on the victim if independent thought and ideas are still present.
4. Confession- There is no right to free thought or privacy. Any difference in attitude can be seen as evil or even a sin. These are exploited at the manipulators will. For example the agent will encourage the victim to say they had an “evil” free thought or idea for themselves.
5. Sacred Science- The manipulator tries to instill the idea that theirs is the “ultimate truth” on the victim. There is no other truth except what the agent wants.
6. Loading the Language- The manipulator and their group uses words and language that only they understand. This is done to alter the victim’s thought processes.
7. Doctrine Over the Person- The manipulator lords over the victim that any events in the victims life are subordinate compared to the agent. The agent also makes the victim’s beliefs as nonexistent to the victim, only the agents doctrine is “sacred” and valid.
8. Dispensing of Existence- It’s the agent and the group who decides who and what has the right to exist and who doesn’t. This includes the ideas that anyone outside of the group is unenlightened, negative, and not worth saving. If the victim does not join with the agent; they will be rejected. This is all done in an attempt to make the outside world have no credibility.
As we see mind control is the ultimate way one person tries to gain control of another against their will. In a study this past May in the Diagnostics and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) published by the American Psychiatric Association cites thought reform as a contributing factor to “Dissociative Disorder Not Otherwise Specified. This means that the scientific community recognizes that mind control exists and creates mental damage on a person that needs attention.

What is Control of The Mind?
Mind Control is also known as brainwashing, coercive persuasion, thought control and thought reform. All these terms for mind control actually mean; a process that either a group or individual systematically use to force someone to do what they want through the persons thought processes. These systematic tracts are for the most part done without the persons conscious knowledge.
There are times when we can use mind control on ourselves for various reasons. Self Hypnosis falls under this category. When we use this kind of mind control which is willful on our parts; with our conscious knowledge, it’s usually done to enforce a positive idea or change in our own minds ourselves. This however is not the same thing that the phase referred to as “Mind control” or brainwashing implies. Those phrases really mean the persons mind is being systematically altered without either their knowledge, consent or even against their will. It is done through unethical manipulative tactics both psychologically and other wise all in an attempt to control someone’s mind. In these cases it is done so a person or group can gain complete control over the thinking and actions of another.
So, when terms “mind control” and “brainwashing” are used what it is saying is that specific tactics are employed to gain control of another at the expense of the person being manipulated. These terms foster the concept of taking the persons free thought and free will away. In cases like this it is the manipulator who works actively with the intention of controlling another’s free will to serve their own agenda. They care nothing of what the victim believes, wants or feels. The manipulator wants to impose his agenda on the victim and get the results he desires. It’s that simple. In brainwashing or mind control there is no room for free thought or will. Free will and thought are eradicated at the expense of the agenda implanted in the victims mind.
