nytimes.com — In the early 1950s, American troops were being killed and captured by the thousands in Korea. Panic spread that China?s Communists had learned how to penetrate and control the minds of American prisoners of war. Finding out what others are thinking is the job of spies. The Korean experience spurred the C.I.A.?s search for mind-control techniques.

China is the model for more than just torture. Take a close look at China if you want to see the future that the Fascist elite have planned for the USA.

China is slowly opening up their freedoms, the US is slamming them shut.Whats the bet that in a decade or so China will be the free world and the US will be the red under the bed...

Words like "self-confidence," "self-reliance," "initiative", "enterprise," "optimism," etc. play little role in the liberal and leftist vocabulary. The leftist is anti-individualistic, pro-collectivist. He wants society to solve everyone's needs for them, take care of them. He is not the sort of person who has an inner sense of confidence in his own ability to solve his own problems and satisfy his own needs. The leftist is antagonistic to the concept of competition because, deep inside, he feels like a loser.The leftist is not typically the kind of person whose feelings of inferiority make him a braggart, an egotist, a bully, a self-promoter, a ruthless competitor. This kind of person has not wholly lost faith in himself. He has a deficit in his sense of power and self-worth, but he can still conceive of himself as having the capacity to be strong, and his efforts to make himself strong produce his unpleasant behavior. But the leftist is too far gone for that. His feelings of inferiority are so ingrained that he cannot conceive of himself as individually strong and valuable. Hence the collectivism of the leftist. He can feel strong only as a member of a large organization or a mass movement with which he identifies himself.I could go on all day.FYI, that's from the Unabomber Manifesto.

I think the interesting idea in this is that this was part of an arms race against the Soviets. We BOTH spent a lot of money on this. What are THEY doing with what they learned? I bet they sold it to some jerks.

The American sense of Freedom is the Freedom to be lazy and enjoy life without working for it. The only reason why America is still the top of the world is because of the inertia of the hardwork of your forefathers, if Americans don't wake up, you'll be in for a seriously wake up call when the entire nation collapses when no one wants to work anyone and just want to watch porn, masturbate, eat and sleep.
