Television Hypnosis is a Reality
Under the right circum
stances, people can be led to
believe almost anything.
Aspects of the world in George
Orwell's "1984" are in place
here in America.
Psychological warfare has
been waged through the control
of mass media and the altering
of our education. Understanding
the brainwashing techniques
employed and knowing who is
in control of influencing our
thinking and what isjJie ultimate
goal of this assault are vital to
the well-being of this nation.
Think of the times you have
caught yourself staring blankly
at the television screen, losing
all sense of time and place.
When you stop conscious think
ing and your mind goes blank,
this is the hypnotic state of
mind.
I
Watching television often
produces an altered state of con
sciousness. Though not con
sciously perceived, the TV
screen, while appearing static,
actually flickers. Any repeating
light or sound pattern can lead
one into an altered state. A hyp
notist uses patterned speech by
varying the pacing and inflec
tion of his voice to induce this
state of mind in his subject.
It is in this state of mind
where one is the most receptive
to mental programming,
* Whether or not the information
takes hold in the mind depends
on two factors: trust in the
source of the information and
repetition of the message.
Trust in the source of the
information induces acceptance
of the message as true even if it
is not understood. Repetition of
the message embeds it in the
subconscious so that acceptance
of its truth and accuracy
becomes a conditioned
response.
Think for a moment about
the- way newscasters speak and
you vyill realize that they all talk
the sqjpe way re&ardless of their
ethnic background. Whether
they be Black, White, Hispanic,
or Oriental, with few excep
tions, they all sound alike. The
patterned speech of a newscaster
is similar to that of a hypnotist.
The eye contact made with the
viewer is also a hypnotic tech
nique.
Emotions can be stirred,
attitudes and states of mind
revealed by nuances oFlone and
variation in vocal quality. The
camera can reveal the smallest
movement or the most subtle
change of expression and give it
significance and definition.
Is is possible to program an
entire population to respond to
certain words, images, vocal
qualities, body movements, ges
tures, and expressions? The
result of such programming
would be a population that is
highly suggestible, a population
that can be manipulated with
precision.
A picture may be worth a
thousand words, but it also can
deceive one into believing
?something that is not true. With
a selective use of camera angles
and judicious editing, it is sim
ple to distort the meaning of
what someone says or the mean
ing of an event.
The practice of staging
events and employing imperson
ators of political figures was
often used by the early newsreel
companies. During the Mexican
Revolution in 1914, arrange
ments were made with Pancho
Villa to fight his battles in day
light and to wait until the cam
NATO headquarters in Naples
investigated the use of film to
train servicemen who were not
inclined to kill to be able to do
so. Films were screened which
showed people being maimed or
killed violently to desensitize
the men to those acts. A pro
gressively more graphic depic
tion of violence in movies, tele
vision, and music desensitizes
people, especially young people,
to real-life violence and increas
es tension, anxiety, and fear so
that the public demands that
government do something. By
causing emotional stress and
mental confusion, judgment is
impaired and suggestibility
increased.
Under these conditions, peo
ple can be manipulated into
allowing their rights to be
diminished while governmental

eras were in place before
launching his attack.
It is known that events were
stage-managed to rally public
opinion for the Persian Gulf
War. Remember the Kuwaiti
refugee girl who testified to
atrocities of infants being
dumped from their incubators
and left to die. These charges
were not substantiated, and she-^
was later revealed to be the
daughter of Kuwait's ambas
sador to the U.S. The capacity to
lie with a picture and be unde
tected has been greatly
enhanced by modern computer
technology.
A report released in 1982 by
the National Institute of Mental
Health said, "violence on televi
sion does lead to aggressive
behavior by children and
teenagers who watch the pro
grams." Dr. Thomas Narut from
the U.S. Naval Hospital at
authority expands. Inducing
stress and neuroses is a strategy
of psycho-political warfare.
The same strategy applies to
other issues. For example, the
issue of race has been and con
tinues to be a sensitive topic for
African Americans and white
America. It is for this very rea
son that it lends itself well to
manipulation in order to direct
and control the thinking and
behavior or both target groups.
"Divide and conquer" is an
ancient political adage. Machi
avellian politics is well under
stood in the halls of government
and high finance, but not so well
understood by the people who
are subject to their actions. Nic
colo Machiavelli, sixteenth cen
tury political theorist, promoted
the doctrine that mortality had
no relevance in political matters,
that deceit was justified in pur
suing and maintaining political
power.
The primary means of con
trolling people is the absolute
control of information. There
could be no effective propagan
da without mass media nor
could there be effective propa
ganda without education. The
consolidation of ownership of
the press, publishing, radio, TV,
and film makes the coordination
of propaganda possible.
Education conditions the
mind with vast amounts of
information disguised as facts
and knowledge and dispensed
for ulterior motives. The idea
that deception has become an
integral part of the social frame
work of society is a difficult
idea for some people to accept.
Neverthe less, an examination of
the idea is worthy of our serious
consideration.

Mr. Naumoff will be at Rainbow
on Thursday, October 1 5
at 7:00 p.m. to sign copies of his
new book, Taller Women:
A Cautionary Tale.
Mr. Naumoff says one of the incidents that fueled the writing of Taller Women
was the " Preppie Murder Cast". In Taller Women Naumoff explores "how we could
have arrived at a moment in our culture when it might be believed that women
could break their own necks while making love, and that someone would have the
gall to suggest it in a public forum." Lawrence Naumoff is a native Southener and
lives in North Carolina. He is the winner of the Whiting Foundation's Writer's
Award and two National Endowment for the Arts fellowships.

Remember when grandma pinched your cheek on
your 1 5th birthday and called you her "little
baby?" Nowadays, you might be having one. In 1 990, 604
children were born to teenage parents in Forsyth County.
More than 1 in 1U of the girfs aged 15 to 19 will become
pregnant each year. According to our survey of 1 ,269
youths in Forsyth County, about 70 percent have been
pregnant at least once by age 20! By the time they are 15,
more than half of all black males, a third of the black
females, about a third of the white males and a quarter of
the white females are sexually active. Even more alarming
is the growing number of pre-teens having sex. Thirty
percent of the 1 2 year-olds we surveyed said they'd had
sex.
