Where Mind Control Began
We have all seen spy, action and espionage movies at one time or another. Especially in the 60′s and 70′s there was always a mind control/brainwashing scene in a movie. The victim was usually captured by enemies and attached to a machine in a shed. In the shed head quarters the captured victim was both tortured and either reprogrammed or forced to talk. These images of mind control and brainwashing were conjured up as a result of the media and political climate of the cold war.
Prior to that in the 1950′s we had such strong anti communist sentiment in the United States the good old US government went on a “communist feeding frenzy”. Innocent people were railroaded, black listed and destroyed in an attempt to control what the US felt was anti United States. This included the death of a few individuals. Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were put to death when the US created a false case against two people who were decent and believed that many of the United States policies and practices against its Citizens were wrong. The campaign against the Rosenberg’s was they were “communists” and guilty of being spies who gave information to the Russians.
Just like in the movies, the United States found two “real communists” and decided to use them as examples of what not to be in the United States. It was the United States political response to anything they thought of as politically subversive. My father knew these people up close and personal. They were decent hard working people who wanted equality for everyone in this country. They felt the working man should have a better life. That was considered “communist propaganda” because the idea of the “working man” was considered communist by the Capitalists who controlled the United States Government at that time. This was blatant attempts as mind control on the United States Population. People who did not agree with the US government at that time were systematically targeted and victimized to show the
rest of the population what happens to those who want to change things.
