"Who you should be trying to impress"
Some people don't like you because you are not like them, they hate you and envy you, they are weak and unruley and believe in nothing. Some people think that they need metals and plaques to make them seem important. They feel they need riches and gold, money and diamonds, twenty inch rims so that people will know that they are about something. Some people feel that if they don't have these things that they will not be look at high in the public's eye. They need these things so people will know that they are about something in this world. But what they feel to realise that if you want that good feeling of being the person you what to be all you would need is a MIRROR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Telephone telepathy -- I was just thinking about you
NORWICH (Reuters) - Many people have experienced the phenomenon of receiving a telephone call from someone shortly after thinking about them -- now a scientist says he has proof of what he calls telephone telepathy.
Rupert Sheldrake, whose research is funded by the respected Trinity College, Cambridge, said on Tuesday he had conducted experiments that proved that such precognition existed for telephone calls and even e-mails.
Each person in the trials was asked to give researchers names and phone numbers of four relatives or friends. These were then called at random and told to ring the subject who had to identify the caller before answering the phone.
"The hit rate was 45 percent, well above the 25 percent you would have expected," he told the annual meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. "The odds against this being a chance effect are 1,000 billion to one."
He said he found the same result with people being asked to name one of four people sending them an e-mail before it had landed.
However, his sample was small on both trials -- just 63 people for the controlled telephone experiment and 50 for the email -- and only four subjects were actually filmed in the phone study and five in the email, prompting some scepticism.
Undeterred, Sheldrake -- who believes in the interconnectedness of all minds within a social grouping -- said that he was extending his experiments to see if the phenomenon also worked for mobile phone text messages.

"wants and needs"
The Devil knows what you want, but God knows what you need. So understand the differance between desire and destiny. Let destiny take is course. Quote by T.B.
"Spying on everyone because the human body is electric"
This is just an idea of mine. Everyone is always saying that the goverment is invading our privacy by listening to our phone calls and tracking our email and etc. But since I have been doing my research on quantum physics I have come up with a whole new idea that me knowing there are scientist that are way smarter than I am that if I can think of it they have already made it. I will give you just a little example there are different frequencies all around us radio waves UV waves and so on and so on but take a look at audio and video the same way that a TV show is filmed the picture is transferred in code threw wires and then reconfigured on you televison at home so that you can see it. And the same way your computer at home would do anything that you are looking at on the internet. Well check this out the perodic chart that has every know element known to man is a code and when you put things together they form different things so they teach you in science and that is how the brain breaks down things so that you can see them. But I am not the first one to come up with that idea intellectuals and scientist have come up with that idea eon's ago. But just like there are different frequencies in the air like for instance dogs can here dog whistle's and dolphins use sonar to communicate ants use there antennas to communicate with each other and humans use vocal cords and language to talk to each other. Well to me that would mean that when humans discovered these things that we would have to know what frequencies that these different animals and humans can communicate at. I have read that the human brain has a certain megahertz just like your phone 2.4 megahertz or your radio tower has a megahertz or a truck drivers CB radio. So if that is the case then mabey they have a machine that can tune into the brains megahertz and listen to us just like a radio and can use your own brain and ear drums to listen to what ever anybody else is saying including you or who is ever talking to you and this will really blow your mind if we do live in like a holographic universe then turn the machine from audio to video and you will be able to see out of everyones eyes to see what they are up too. And if you have that hooked up to a satellite tracking system the same one that they use when some one says the word bomb or something about the president to locate terrorist cells then imagine what they could be doing to us. It is your own 2006 Minority report right now today. And if I thought of that then I now some genious has thought of it along time ago so all I can say is if your thinking about doing some crime you won't get away with it as long as your head, eye's and ears are on lol. Just a thought!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Children are our future and parents are there last line of defense"
My thoughts are how are we going to became a better nation and better people if we don't teach our children what they are supposed to be taught. People are always talking about what can we do about anything. I am not the president I am not in control how can I make a differance. If you want to fight the good fight for the greater good of mankind it starts with the children. Our children out here in the world are smarter and faster than we will ever be when it comes to brain power they are going to be like a super sponge taking in everything and anything because of the way technology is going. The internet the computer can advance the mind in so many ways but both good and bad. Are you willing to step up to the plate and when that cross road comes up in front of your child are you ready to steer them in the right direction or are you going to let the higher powers that be do it for you. Like violent movies, commercial advertisement that tell your kids what to play with, what to look like, how to act. Are you willing to let the music industry chant there messages over and over into your childs brains. Telling them to sell drugs, do drugs, kill people you hate, have no regard for parents or figures of authority. Telling you daughters that it is ok to take off your close and be a stripper just to make a quick dollar. All I hear out here in the world is you got to get you money and I am not seeing any good morality behind it. All I see is a world headed for destruction if the good people do not step up and do something about it. The same way that you children are being poisoned by the television and music and part of the internet you as parents have to give your children the cure to this disease that is being influenced on you children. You are the key to starting it all. The world is full of babysitters out there to take care of your kid will you are at work or just not paying attention to what your child is doing. But the point I am trying to get to is what is the babysitter exactly teaching my child. If you don't know what is being taught to you child turn up the radio and the TV alittle louder so you can listen to some of this trash. I feel that higher powers are turning you children brains to mindless mush at the point when I know that the magnet energy that children minds are giving off . We have to put the right programs into there mind or things are going to be worst off then they are now. There is a war going on and it is not only in iraq it is going on right here on the ground against your children. Take a stand and bear arms your weapon of destruction will be you love and your compasion for you child and that alone will make you child a vessel and a leader for good morality. And when they become the masters of control watch what they will be broadcasting over the air ways. Nothing but good thing for the next generation after them. That is why when we where in high school they called us Generation X because we where unpredictable and it was going to be our generation who is going to decided or fate and our future. In the fight for freedom if your going to be a bear make sure your are a grizzly if not for anybody do it for your kids. Thank you for reading my thoughts too all myspace friends Happy Holidays. Quote: (GenerationX) + (Our Children) = a positive future!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hawking says humans must go into space
HONG KONG - The survival of the human race depends on its ability to find new homes elsewhere in the universe because there's an increasing risk that a disaster will destroy the Earth, world-renowned scientist Stephen Hawking said Tuesday.
The British astrophysicist told a news conference in Hong Kong that humans could have a permanent base on the moon in 20 years and a colony on Mars in the next 40 years.
"We won't find anywhere as nice as Earth unless we go to another star system," added Hawking, who arrived to a rock star's welcome Monday. Tickets for his lecture planned for Wednesday were sold out.
He added that if humans can avoid killing themselves in the next 100 years, they should have space settlements that can continue without support from Earth.
"It is important for the human race to spread out into space for the survival of the species," Hawking said. "Life on Earth is at the ever-increasing risk of being wiped out by a disaster, such as sudden global warming, nuclear war, a genetically engineered virus or other dangers we have not yet thought of."
The 64-year-old scientist — author of the global best seller "A Brief History of Time" — is wheelchair-bound and communicates with the help of a computer because he suffers from a neurological disorder called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS.
Hawking said he's teaming up with his daughter to write a children's book about the universe, aimed at the same age range as the Harry Potter books.
"It is a story for children, which explains the wonders of the universe," his daughter, Lucy, added.
They didn't provide other details.

"Wraith of God not George Bush"
I compare some of what is going on in the world today with some of the storys in the bible and if you compare it with what is going on now it will help you to understand what is going on if you are a religious person. I am a strong believer in a higher power that made us all which to me is the almighty God. Look at the story of sodom and gomorrah God told Abraham that he was going to destroy this place and told Abraham that he was going to spare him and his family because he watch Abraham an new that he loved God. Abraham asked God to give him time to rescue a few people that he thought was good and God said if you can find ten good people he would not destroy it and we know how that turned out but the question and hand is why was God going to destroy it? Because the place was wicked and evil and not following God's law. The where fornicating in this place and having orgys and adultury was going on because everyone was kicking it, killing, stealing, homosexuals where all over the place gambling, prostution was going on and know one was obeying the commandments of God. False gods and idols where being worshiped in this place and everything imaginable was going on. It says in the bible many times over that God gets angry when you do not live by the commandments and laws that he has given you and this is not the first time that he has destroyed a place that was not living according to his laws. Know lets compare sodom and gomorrah with the United States or the world it self. People are cheating on there spouses and you need to understand that marriage is a serious issue and you are bound to you mate buy God when you deside to be with this man or woman till death do you part. But they promote sex out of marriage in videos and desperate house wives and so on and so on. And the people continue to do it. Know we have same sex marriages. Example Elton John and we think nothing is wrong with it. Also the talk show host Ellen. Being Bisexual is cool now among women and men. Gambling all your money away in lotterys and Las Vegas is cool. Prostution is legal in curtain states. Drugs are all over the place. Killing is going on everyday. Child sex affenders are running rapid on the internet and even in the church. Everyone is worshiping idols for example money, materialistic items escalades etc. Different religions different gods are being worshiped even the devil has his on followers and church. Witchcraft and voodoo and is out here etc. Idols are being worship in hollywood all the movie stars. American Idols the TV show and there goes that word idols again. You know how God feels about Idols and false gods don't you if you are a religious person. Porn is at an all time high on the internet. I could keep going on for days but my point is that it is the same thing that happen then that is happening know. And in the book of Revelations Jesus said that he will grab all of his people out of this place just like he did Noah and Abraham and countless others before he destroys this system that satan has set up and start form scratch and form his new goverment with all of his saints. And that is what is going on Jesus Christ is on his return home as the rightful ruler and king of this world. And who ever opposes him will be destroy because you did not repent for your sins and put God and Jesus first in you life over all that the devil has shown you which you thought was more important, man made materialistic Bull shit. And that is why I am not afraid because who every it is Bush, the Devil, Bin Laden the New world Order or whatever if you are doing wrong you will feel the wraith of the master. Know one is perfect but Jesus but do your best to live a good life obey God's commandments the best you can repent for you sins and pray for God's protection against all evil. Love his son Jesus believe in him that he died for all of our sins. And you will be saved during the battle of armageddon which we are on the door step of right know. This is just a messege to all my fellow believers. Fear know evil for God is our Protector and Jesus is our saviour. Your myspace friend Tim

Martin Luther King's Jr's Murder Confessions of Conspiracy
MLK Jr's Murder:
Confessions Of Conspiracy
by Sean Gonsalves
Conspiracy theories abound. Professors, pundits and especially government eggheads - having read Richard Hofstadter's excellent analysis of the political paranoiac - talk about conspiracy theories in pejorative tones, certain that the rabble just doesn't understand the complexities of governance.
I suppose all that makes for an interesting intellectual exchange but the crucial question is whether a conspiracy is, in fact, behind a particular political event. Conspiracies happen.
Loyd Jowers told Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s son, Dexter, and former U.N. ambassador Andrew Young, that he was part of a conspiracy to kill King. Today marks the 32nd anniversary of his assassination.
The plot in which Jowers said he took part went to trial after all these years. This past December the jury ruled that, indeed, there was a conspiracy to kill King, involving Jowers and "others, including governmental agencies."
They call the O.J. trial "the trial of the century." It pales in significance to King v. Jowers. A European reporter covering the trial remarked: "You Americans are always talking about 'the trial of the century!' Well, this is the trial of the century, and none of your reporters are covering it!"
Well, there was one. His name is James Douglass and he wrote an insightfully important article on the case. In it, Douglass reports on the major pieces of evidence that point to the unbelievable (and undeniable?) conclusion that the United States government killed the greatest American apostle of nonviolent freedom-making.
Exhibit A: Former CIA operative, Jack Terrell, testified of J.D. Hill's confession that he was a member of an Army sniper team in Memphis when King was killed. After training for a triangular shooting, they took positions in a water tower and two buildings in Memphis when their mission was canceled.
"Hill said he realized the next day that the team must have been part of a contingency plan to kill King if another shooter failed," Douglass reports in an article you can check out at www.christiancentury.org/. Also see the trial transcript at www.thekingcenter.com.
Back to Jowers. He told Andrew Young that he received a smoking rifle at the rear door of his restaurant, Jim's Grill, which is across the street from the Lorraine Motel where King was shot with a rifle. This is in flat contradiction to the incredible official story, which is that after James Earl Ray shot King he ran out of the infamous rooming house and dropped the murder weapon on the sidewalk before fleeing!
Jowers said he broke the rifle down into two pieces and wrapped it in a tablecloth. The next day he gave it to the same man who had dropped the rifle off at his restaurant two days before that. The man's named was Raul, Jowers said, the same man that James Earl Ray claims to have set him up.
On the evening when King was killed, the police protection around him was withdrawn. A black Memphis police detective, Ed Redditt, was removed from his post at Memphis Fire Station No. 2 - across the street from King's motel - under orders from Memphis police and fire director, Frank Holloman.
Holloman, a retired FBI agent, was J. Edgar Hoover's appointments secretary. Holloman told Redditt his life had been threatened.
Redditt was brought home, and when he arrived at his house the radio news was reporting that King had been shot at the Lorraine Motel.
Former Memphis police Capt. Jerry Williams testified that before King was killed he was told by his superiors that someone in King's entourage asked for no security, which seemed strange to Williams because whenever King came to Memphis, he and a unit of black officers would serve as bodyguards for King.
Then there's Marrell McCollough. Jowers says he met with McCollough, Memphis police lieutenant Earl Clark, a third officer and two men Jowers didn't know but whom he thought were federal agents. McCollough, who in 1968 was an undercover officer for the Memphis Police Department, now works for the CIA. There's a famous photo where King is lying on the balcony moments after he was shot and someone is kneeling next to King checking his vitals. That man is McCollough, one of the first to reach King after he'd been shot.
When King was shot, many witnesses pointed to the bushes as the place where they heard the shot come from and where they saw smoke seconds after the fatal bullet was fired. The next morning, those bushes - the ones right in between the Lorraine Motel and Jowers' restaurant - were cut down and cleared out by the Memphis Sanitation Department under orders from the Memphis police, as testified to by Maynard Stiles, who was then a sanitation department official.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. But don't take my word for it. Go check it out for yourself.

SETI and intelligent design
If you’re an inveterate tube-o-phile, you may remember the episode of "Cheers" in which Cliff, the postman who’s stayed by neither snow, nor rain, nor gloom of night from his appointed rounds of beer, exclaims to Norm that he’s found a potato that looks like Richard Nixon’s head. This could be an astonishing attempt by taters to express their political views, but Norm is unimpressed. Finding evidence of complexity (the Nixon physiognomy) in a natural setting (the spud), and inferring some deliberate, magical mechanism behind it all, would be a leap from the doubtful to the divine, and in this case, Norm feels, unwarranted.Cliff, however, would have some sympathizers among the proponents of Intelligent Design (ID), whose efforts to influence school science curricula continue to swill large quantities of newspaper ink. As just about everyone is aware, these folks use similar logic to infer a "designer" behind such biological constructions as DNA or the human eye. The apparent complexity of the product is offered as proof of deliberate blueprinting by an unknown creator—conscious action, presumably from outside the universe itself.What many readers will not know is that SETI research has been offered up in support of Intelligent Design.The way this happens is as follows. When ID advocates posit that DNA—which is a complicated, molecular blueprint—is solid evidence for a designer, most scientists are unconvinced. They counter that the structure of this biological building block is the result of self-organization via evolution, and not a proof of deliberate engineering. DNA, the researchers will protest, is no more a consciously constructed system than Jupiter’s Great Red Spot.
Organized complexity, in other words, is not enough to infer design.But the adherents of Intelligent Design protest the protest. They point to SETI and say, "upon receiving a complex radio signal from space, SETI researchers will claim it as proof that intelligent life resides in the neighborhood of a distant star. Thus, isn’t their search completely analogous to our own line of reasoning—a clear case of complexity implying intelligence and deliberate design?" And SETI, they would note, enjoys widespread scientific acceptance.

Intelligent Design Pa. Ruling Disappoints Some
A federal judge's ruling in Pennsylvania that "intelligent design" is religious fundamentalism dressed in the raiment of science has wounded a politically influential movement.
"It was a real disappointment," biochemist Michael J. Behe, who testified in the trial, said from his office at Lehigh University. "It's hard to say this chills the atmosphere, because if you're publicly known as an ID supporter you can already kiss your tenure chances goodbye. It doesn't help."
But Behe and other proponents of intelligent design emphasized that the court decision would not cast them into the political and cultural wilderness. They have pushed their theory, which holds that life is too complicated to have arisen without the hand of a supernatural creator, to the center of legislative debates in more than a dozen states, and they intend to keep it there.
Some politically influential backers of intelligent design warned that U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III, who was appointed by President Bush, so overreached that his ruling will outrage and inflame millions of conservative and religiously observant Americans.
"This decision is a poster child for a half-century secularist reign of terror that's coming to a rapid end with Justice Roberts and soon-to-be Justice Alito," said Richard Land, who is president of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission and is a political ally of White House adviser Karl Rove. "This was an extremely injudicious judge who went way, way beyond his boundaries -- if he had any eyes on advancing up the judicial ladder, he just sawed off the bottom rung."
Jones's expansively written decision incorporated the scientific critique of intelligent design as pseudoscience in almost every detail. Legally, that decision is not binding in other states, such as Kansas, where the state school board is debating incorporating a critique of Darwinian evolution into its state standards.
Kansas officials said they would not mandate specific mention of intelligent design.
"The heart of science should be looking at the gaps in theory and trying to figure out what that's about," said Steve Abrams, a Kansas school board member. "This decision will perhaps have an effect on other states, but we don't talk about intelligent design."
Still, few advocates of intelligent design tried to hide their dismay with the judge's decision. The Discovery Institute, a Seattle-based think tank, wrote that the judge has a "pernicious understanding of what intellectual and religious freedom in America means." Some acknowledged that the decision foreshadows a much longer and more complicated battle for public acceptance.
Steve Fuller, a philosopher of science at the University of Warwick in England, whose politics tend to the left, said he worries that Jones's decision will drive an intriguing if still half-formed challenge to Darwinian theory out of the academy and into the theology schools. "The judge's ruling really puts the burden on the intelligent-design guys," Fuller said. "The judge's ruling that the theory is theology could become a self-fulfilling prophecy."
Other advocates take comfort in history. They note that in 1925, lawyer Clarence Darrow argued and lost the Scopes "monkey trial," in which a teacher was convicted of teaching that man descended from apes. But in the long run, that loss became a victory for evolutionary theory.
William A. Dembski, a philosopher and math professor at Southern Seminary in Louisville, wrote in his Web log that the loss in Pennsylvania means thousands more young people "would continue to be indoctrinated into a neo-Darwinian view of biological origins." But he wrote that the future is bright.
"ID is rapidly going international and crossing metaphysical and theological boundaries," Dembski wrote. "The important thing is ID's intellectual vitality."
"It was a real disappointment," biochemist Michael J. Behe, who testified in the trial, said from his office at Lehigh University. "It's hard to say this chills the atmosphere, because if you're publicly known as an ID supporter you can already kiss your tenure chances goodbye. It doesn't help."

Other advocates take comfort in history. They note that in 1925, lawyer Clarence Darrow argued and lost the Scopes "monkey trial," in which a teacher was convicted of teaching that man descended from apes. But in the long run, that loss became a victory for evolutionary theory.
William A. Dembski, a philosopher and math professor at Southern Seminary in Louisville, wrote in his Web log that the loss in Pennsylvania means thousands more young people "would continue to be indoctrinated into a neo-Darwinian view of biological origins." But he wrote that the future is bright.
"ID is rapidly going international and crossing metaphysical and theological boundaries," Dembski wrote. "The important thing is ID's intellectual vitality."

Judge rules against intelligent design.
HARRISBURG, Pa. - In one of the biggest courtroom clashes between faith and evolution since the 1925 Scopes Monkey Trial, a federal judge barred a Pennsylvania public school district Tuesday from teaching “intelligent design” in biology class, saying the concept is creationism in disguise.
U.S. District Judge John E. Jones delivered a stinging attack on the Dover Area School Board, saying its first-in-the-nation decision in October 2004 to insert intelligent design into the science curriculum violates the constitutional separation of church and state.
The ruling was a major setback to the intelligent design movement, which is also waging battles in Georgia and Kansas. Intelligent design holds that living organisms are so complex that they must have been created by some kind of higher force.

Jones decried the “breathtaking inanity” of the Dover policy and accused several board members of lying to conceal their true motive, which he said was to promote religion.
A six-week trial over the issue yielded “overwhelming evidence” establishing that intelligent design “is a religious view, a mere re-labeling of creationism, and not a scientific theory,” said Jones, a Republican and a churchgoer appointed to the federal bench three years ago.
The school system said it will probably not appeal the ruling, because the members who backed intelligent design were ousted in November’s elections and replaced with a new slate opposed to the policy.

Bush and the NSA spy report
Bush said in an interview that “we do not discuss ongoing intelligence operations to protect the country. And the reason why is that there’s an enemy that lurks, that would like to know exactly what we’re trying to do to stop them.
“I will make this point,” he continued. “That whatever I do to protect the American people — and I have an obligation to do so — that we will uphold the law, and decisions made are made understanding we have an obligation to protect the civil liberties of the American people.”
The president spoke in an interview to be aired Friday evening on “The Newshour with Jim Lehrer.”
Asked about the story earlier Friday, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and White House press secretary Scott McClellan also refused to confirm or deny that the super-secret NSA had spied on as many as 500 people at any given time since 2002.
Emails, calls monitored
The Times reported Friday that following the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, Bush authorized the NSA to monitor the international phone calls and international e-mails of hundreds — perhaps thousands — of people inside the United States.
“I will make this point,” he continued. “That whatever I do to protect the American people — and I have an obligation to do so — that we will uphold the law, and decisions made are made understanding we have an obligation to protect the civil liberties of the American people.”

Good news to a world set free
We need to grasp the fact that Satan has constantly deceived and manipulated mankind on every conceivable level. The prophecies of the book of Revelation only begin to scratch the surface of what must take place for the Kingdom of God to be established. One message that comes through loud and clear is that Christ will have to tear virtually everything down and start over. It will be the only way to root out the vestiges of Satan's system's. Tearing down and starting over!!!!!!!!!!!!! When you read through the book of Revelations you learn that it isn't only the obvious areas of deception- such as Satan's end-time political and religious systems-that must be rooted out and destroyed. At Christ's return everything will come crashing down, to be swept away. He will start over afresh. Everything that Satan had a hand in building- goverments,political systems,economic systems, educational systems,entertainment,media and information systems,every form of society and civilization that we have invented and established over the curse of man's history-must be replaced with somthing far superior. Why Because everything in thes present world has been built on a wrong foundation. It is all founded on Satan's deceptions and outright lies. It has been built on his values-constructed to his specifications,you might say. Virtually without exceptions this world systems have all been constructed with no guidance or direction from God. This is not God's world. It is not his society. It is not his civilization. It is not built on His values, laws or way of life. Satan has deceived the world for centuries and organized it according to his values rather than God's. Wake up and know that Jesus is coming soon all you have to do is repent for your sins and let God know that you love him and His son Jesus Christ and he will not leave you behind in these troublesome times that is going on right now. Iam not a preacher Iam a sinner but I love God and know that he is the most High and that is why I want to let all my friends know that is is not to late but the return is on the door step. And I want God to know that I make mistakes everyday but if you are truely sorry for you mistakes God never takes a second look at them. I pray for my friends and family and the whole world and hope that he comes quickly and set all his people free. So even thought that these times seems at the end and at its worst it all has to happen before our lord Jesus comes back so just pray believe and no harm will come to his true followers. I will pray for all of you and I hope that you will do the same for me. a message from a friend who wants to save souls. Your friend Tim

Health
WE ALL HAVE CANCER AND HOW IT STARTS "Because of the solid research by the now Dr. Kreb Jr. the formulations worked miracle after consistent miracle. At first they cured cancer by the dozen, then by the hundreds and later by the thousands. Most readers of this forum are aware, but many who will receive a copy have no clues about cancer cures. If you will dig into the history of cancer, you will discover that a medical cancer system has been created so large that if a cure for cancer were applied today, within 6 months the total American economy would collapse; it is that much intertwined into the total economy. Therefore any cancer cure is a threat not only to the AMA and its membership doctors who do not decide policy, but also to the American government itself. Thusly the AMA and the FDA combines forces to stop all applications of cancer cures that affect more than a few people."

Mind Control
The plans to create a mind controlled workers society have been in place for a long time. The current technology grew out of experiments that the Nazis started before World War II and intensified during the time of the Nazi concentration camps when an unlimited supply of children and adults were available for experimentation. We've heard about the inhumane medical experiments performed on concentration camp prisoners, but no word was ever mentioned by the media and the TV documentaries of the mind control experiments. That was not to be divulged to the American public. Mind control technologies can be broadly divided into two subsets: trauma-based or electronic-based.
The first phase of government mind control development grew out of the old occult techniques which required the victim to be exposed to massive psychological and physical trauma, usually beginning in infancy, in order to cause the psyche to shatter into a thousand alter personalities which can then be separately programmed to perform any function (or job) that the programmer wishes to"install". Each alter personality created is separate and distinct from the front personality. The 'front personality' is unaware of the existence or activities of the alter personalities. Alter personalities can be brought to the surface by programmers or handlers using special codes, usually stored in a laptop computer. The victim of mind control can also be affected by specific sounds, words, or actions known as triggers
