ALERT

Police terror, Terrorist State comes up in France ?

English translation soon.

ALERTE

La police terrorise, vers un �tat terroriste en France ?

Un ex-directeur du journal lib�ration malmen� et humili�. suite ici
Des perquisitions sous terreur dans les �coles avec des chiens policiers dans le d�partement du Gers.
Et tant d'autres exemples....

Dans le m�me temps Sarkozy annonce qu'il va durcir les lois pour l'internement d'office en hopital psychiatrique. Dommage qu'il n'envisage pas d'appliquer ses lois aux policiers abusant de leur autorit� et aux psychopathe qui les encourage.

Boycott de Carrefour : en France!

Chinese are trying to boycott "Carrefour". French people should do the same in France : most goods of the "Carrefour" brand are made in china.

Contre la d�localisation et le r�gime chinois, boycottez "Carrefour" EN FRANCE : tous les articles bon march�s y sont "made in China". Ou alors achetez les produits d'origine europeenne ou francaise !

2008-02-04 Shameful historical day in France.

Approval of the European treaty (identical to the European Constitution that was refused by people's vote) is a denial of democracy and a treason of the representatives. Shame on them.

Putting a country to sleep
Techniques to manipulate the masses
Permalink

Translated from : Comment anesth�sier une nation, Techniques de manipulation des masses
Thanks Iron Foil Beret for the translation.

This list is based on observed events and analyses published here and there on the internet. The objective is to to help people better understand techniques to manipulate the masses in France and elsewhere in the world, so that we can get out of the mind prison in which the global elites are trying to hold us. Dishonesty, duplicity and lies under every possible form. Any contribution to this text is welcome.

Haste effect

Sounds like a joke? Guess again. One of Karl Rove's techniques is to move faster than intellectuals can react.

Clean Slate effect

Rolling back social progress and traditions of social cohesion by taking advantage of all possible propaganda themes, such as by exploiting or provoking catastrophes -- financial (such as embezzlement of Social Security funds in France), natural, internal violence, wars, etc. Cutting funds for 'dangerous' social science studies Confounding public historical knowledge by hijacking anti-establishment movements (ie. Jaures, Guy M�quet's letter) The systematic worldwide use of the Clean Slate effect by the Neocons was largely described by Naomi Klein as the 'Shock Doctrine'. It allows ultra-capitalist and police state policies to be implemented, where the market, far from being free, is systematically controlled by laws pushed by lobbies.

Smoke Screen effect

Controlling the press and focussing on emotionally divisive issues in order to prevent serious topics from being discussed (such as the EU Treaty, the 'Code du Travail' (labour laws), constitutional reform, the erosion of civil liberties, the participation of France in current wars, the French nuclear weapons program, etc). Setting up a cult of personality by showing only the leader's obvious qualities and portray him as being 'in charge' of every situation. Stiring up the masses emotionally with its own unhapiness Distributing free newspapers for the masses to read, which creates a hive mind effect, enhances the Smoke Screen effect.

Part 2

The 'Demagocracy' effect

Making democracy gradually disappear by eluding fundamental choicses (no electoral consultation), by eliminating political parties that get in the way of elitist interests (ie. MoDem, a French alternative party independent of the left-right paradigm), by reducing choices to two almost identical alternatives, by reducing freedom of expression (pressure, laws, etc), and reducing debates to sensationalist events. Muddling the waters by hiring opportunists from amongst the former 'opponents'. Democracy will never allow ultra-capitalism to flourish; such was the conclusion of the Chicago School.

The Ego effect

The best weapon against social cohesion is to remove guilt from egotism and raise it to the level of a social value. Popularising the idea that anyone can succeed (in fact, few will get to the top, and they already did). Portraying leaders as shameless role-models for egotism.

The Personal Attack effect

Several cases of direct threats against people have been reported. Discrediting opponents on the personal front by implicating them in dubious affairs (ie. Clearstream).

The Gaza Strip effect

Doing nothing under any circumstance that could address the root causes of violence in the suburbs; instead pulling the plug on them. Those outlaw zones are needed to justify state repression.

Putting a country to sleep
Techniques to manipulate the masses
Part 3

The Complication effect

Proposing texts too difficult to understand for the common people (EU Treaty, 'Code du Travail', constitutional amendments), whilst presenting them simplified versions. Making them believe that they are in the common interest, even though the modifications benefit overwhelmingly the rich classes and the multi-national corporate interests. Making situations complex enough that people cannot identify the real causes of their problems and cannot emerge from them.

The Identity effect

Encouraging corporatism and division along identity lines (e.g. geographic, religious, ethnic, medical) in order to sap global social cohesion. Promoting ad hoc over general solutions.

The Low IQ effect

Stop thinking. The government's ministers told you to! The intellectuals are bad French citizens (Sarkozy's speach to the US). In addition, by keeping his agenda hidden, Sarkozy can pretend to have a simple strategy.

The Scapegoat effect

Every problem should be blamed on a bad guy who abused a situation (amongst the people of course, not those who scheme and benefit). It's not our fault, so it's totally unacceptable. And before we catch the culprit, we will have to pay.

The Victim effect

Shame on he who criticises when everything is being done to solve the problems. And besides, everything must be done to act (such as eroding separations of power).

The Accuser effect

He who accuses first is the arbitrator of justice. It's so comforting and efficient to accuse others of what you don't want others to see of you (injustice, foreigner, psychological problems, swindlers, rabble, bums).

Putting a country to sleep
Techniques to manipulate the masses
Part 4

The 'Everyone is guilty' effect

Blaming the people for all the problems (pollution, healthcare).

The 'Justice' effect

Cloaking oneself in justice only to dismantle it. Let everyone forget that there is no justice without social cohesion. Justice in a fundamentally unjust society is nothing but a sham.

The Inversion effect

Reverse all moral judgments. It's unfair to criticise the rich, but it's fine to take it on others because they probably did something wrong and deserved it.

The Yes / No effect

Either yes or no. Taking position on everything, even poorly asked questions (presenting a partial or incomplete view of them is enough). Anyone who disagrees is free to leave. Middle ground positions are excluded, resulting in extremist movements.

The 'Fear and security' effect

The most obvious one. Using 9/11 as a pretext, installing cameras everywhere, controlling all communication on the Internet, making DNA databases the norm, removing legal weight from presumption of innocence (except for the rulers, of course). Pay attention to the new tracking technology (RFID chips, Windows Vista, DRM). Pay attention as well to new terrorist threats (Europe is now officially the new target of the alleged Bin Laden).

The Force effect

Reinforcing repressive brutal force (flash ball, taser, drones). Every good citizen must be as obedient as a sheep. Increasing the scope of repressive laws (repeat offenders, minimum sentences) by making widespread what was at first obtained from cases that incensed the public (ie. DNA samples from sexual offenders at first, then for all offences, except for financial crimes). Meanwhile, financial crimes and white collar crimes are being decriminalised in secret.

Putting a country to sleep
Techniques to manipulate the masses
Part 5

The Scientism effect

Simplistic pseudo-science is attractive to the public, and can be used to defend even the most morally unacceptable ideas and set precedents for them. An example is attempts to mix justice with medicine (researching hereditary bases for delinquency in the DNA, judging the mentally ill, etc). Those methods have been successfully used by other totalitarian regimes.

The Warmonger effect

Designating an enemy (e.g. Iran) in order to prepare the people to war, which is one of the best ways to enforce authoritarian legislation and hide economic recessions.

The Sleep effect

The basic ingredient, necessary to make it all work. The individual is disoriented with all the above inflicted on him, force-fed with advertising, infatuated with consumption, games, sports events and inane websites. This is the effect that allows all the others to work, so this is the one that must be urgently addressed. Look at fear to get out of manufactured nightmares, and affirm life and freedom by exchanging, sharing and loving.

Any ressemblence between this list and manipulation techniques used by sects is coincidential (or is it?). Combine all those techniques with expedience, and you obtain all the ingredients for a war against democracy, freedom and social cohesion. The global end game is never revealed, but can be read between the lines: the elimination of notions of justice and social cohesion, total enslavement to money and the permanent enshrinement of the elite which has already long ruled the planet, in a context of emergency due to the exhaustion of global resources. This policy will lead to extremist uprisings.

Putting a country to sleep, Techniques to manipulate the masses
English translation here
Cette liste a �t� �labor�e � partir d'�v�nements observ�s, et d'analyses publi�es �a et l� sur Internet. Son objectif : faire mieux comprendre les techniques de manipulation des masses utilis�es actuellement en France et de par le monde, afin de sortir de l'impasse dans laquelle essaient de nous enfermer ceux qui se prennent pour l'�lite mondiale. Malhonn�tet�, hypocrisie et mensonge sous toutes les formes possibles. Tout enrichissement ou pr�cision sur ce texte est bienvenue.

Effet Vitesse

Ca a l'air d'un gag, mais non ! Aller plus vite dans les actions que la possibilit� de r�action des intellectuels, c'est dans la doctrine de Karl Rove, conseiller de GW Bush.

Effet Table rase

Eliminer les acquis sociaux ou les traditions de solidarit�, en utilisant avec opportunisme tous les th�mes de propagande possible, (voire en exploitant ou provocant des catastrophes - financi�res, d�tournement des budgets de la s�cu en France - naturelles - voilences int�rieures - guerres).
Enlever les budgets des sciences sociales... dangereuses.
Semer la confusion dans les rep�res historiques en se r�clamant de courants antagonistes (Jaures, lettre de Guy M�quet, etc.).
La syst�matisation mondiale de l'effet table rase par les n�o-cons a �t� largement d�crite par Naomi Klein.
Il permet la mise en place de politiques ultra-lib�rales et d'�tats policiers, o� la loi du march�,
loin d'�tre libre est syst�matiquement d�tourn�e par des lois pilot�es par les lobbies.

Effet Ecran total

Contr�ler la presse et l'occuper avec des sujets �motionellement forts afin d'�viter que les sujets de fond �mergent (Trait� Europ�en, Code du travail, r�forme de la constitution, �rosion des libert�s, participation de la France aux guerres en cours, programme de missiles nucl�aires balistique francais...)
D�velopper le culte de la personnalit� en faisant attention a ne montrer que d'�videntes qualit�s et �tre l'homme de toutes les situations.
Emouvoir les foules avec ses malheurs.
La distribution de journaux gratuits que la foule lit et qui distillent une pens�e unique accentue cet effet.

Comment anesth�sier une nation
Techniques de manipulation des masses
Partie 2

Effet D�magocratie

Faire dispara�tre progressivement la d�mocratie, en �ludant les choix fondamentaux (pas de consultation �lectorale), en �liminant les partis g�nants pour les gros int�r�ts (asphyxie du Modem), en r�duisant le choix � deux alternatives qui se distinguent peu, en r�duisant la libert� d'expression (pressions, lois etc.), en ramenant les d�bats � des ph�nom�nes � sensation.
Brouiller les pistes en ramenant les opportunistes de l'ancien camp adverse.
La d�mocratie ne permettra jamais � l'ultra-lib�ralisme de se g�n�raliser. C'est le constat de l'�cole �conomique de Chicago.

Effet Ego

D�culpabiliser l'�goisme et l'�lever au rang de valeur, c'est la meilleure arme contre la solidarit�.
La r�ussite personnelle c'est pour tout le monde (mais en r�alit� il y aura peu d'�lus et ils le sont d�j�).
Montrer l'exemple sans complexes ...

Effet Attaques personnelles

De nombreux cas de menaces directes de personnes ont �t� relat�s.
Discr�diter les concurrents sur le plan personnel en les mouillant dans des affaires louches (Clearstream)

Effet Bande de Gaza

Surtout ne rien faire qui soit une solution de fond et pas seulement r�presssive au probl�me des banlieues. Au contraire couper les vivres.
On a besoin de ces zones de non droit pour justifier la politique r�pressive.
