THE GEORGE W. BUSH HYPNOSIS FILE
by Russell M. Drake
Call him hypnotist-in-chief. He earned it.

Among modern era statesmen, only Adolf Hitler comes close to George W. Bush’s skill level as operator of the public consciousness.

Consider: After three years of terror and death at the hands of a terrorist band run by two guys hiding in caves, after a bloody, failed invasion of the wrong country in search of who knows what, after a jobs market crash matched only by the Herbert Hoover Administration, and after mismanaging huge national budget surpluses into over-the-cliff national deficits – all supported by the most outlandish lies – Bush still holds a firm grip on the minds of more than half of the people who say they’re going to vote.

The hypnosis has been so effective that it has enabled Bush to survive repeated blunders that might well have led to another man’s impeachment and removal from office, even by members of his own party. He did it with fear hypnosis, verbal confusion hypnosis, peace hypnosis, deference hypnosis, radio hypnosis, the help of the press, and the Big Lie technique pioneered by Hitler.

“In the size of the lie there is always contained a certain factor of credibility, since the great masses of the people....will more easily fall victim to a great lie than to a small one.” – Hitler, Mein Kampf.

Bush’s political hypnosis talent, like Hitler’s, lies in taking classroom hypnosis theory and technique and projecting it to mass audiences.

One explanation of the cult.

1. I'm not convinced that half the country is falling for it.
I think there's several things at work here. The pollsters are having a hard time because of cell phones and answering machines to get a good feel for what's real, so they're doing the best they can and estimating the rest. That's why the polls are all over the place.

The media has a vested interest in keeping the race close so they can keep their viewers. If it was a run away, no one would pay any attention.

Many Pubs are really unhappy with shrub, but they can't openly support Kerry. They'd be ridiculed by their friends and employers.

We don't have long to wait to see if I'm right.

2. Good article
Had to save that one.

It explains so much about behavior and the idiots who are voting for this pathetic excuse for a president. I liked this line especially:

Le Bon said of deference hypnosis, “The mere fact that an individual occupies a certain position, possesses a certain fortune, or bears certain titles, endows him with prestige, however slight his own personal worth.”

Of all that galls me over having * in the WH, it is that this despicable person who is so bereft of any qualities of worth gets a certain amount of respect and even adoration.

5. A step in the right direction would be
to get people to stop watching TV.

6. This psychological phenomenon is not just about politics, its RELIGION.
Bush is using his "born again" beliefs as the foundation for this hypnosis. It's something all religious leaders do, it's part of why I hate organized religion. Proof once again that Bush sees no separation between church and state at all.
