Dr Izuma said: "When we disrupted the brain region that usually helps detect and respond to threats, we saw a less negative, less ideologically motivated reaction to the critical author and his opinions."

Thereby providing strong evidence that people with normal brains view uncontrolled immigration as a threat, while people with abnormal brains do not.

Well, since this study indicates that one’s brain must be damaged in order to promote liberal thoughts, then it stands to reason that the brain must be repaired (or undamaged) in order to shut down liberal thoughts.

The only thing this study seems to prove is that lib-progs are brain damaged.

When do they start fixing people with serious diseases like progressivism and sexual confusion? Will it work with them?

I remember a science fiction novel set hundreds of years in the future, where belief in god was a mental illness, where some were “cured” while others were deported/exiled.

Psychology surveys on faith and the religious ask how certain you are there is a god, how much you believe there is a heaven, how much you believe there is a soul, on scales of 1-10.
If the average religious person rated it a 9 and now a 6, you see a 33% decline. The person is now barely certain there is a god, or the person on the maybe side now says NO.

Liberalism is a magnetic disorder.

This will now allow dystopian story lines to become reality.

Women can be made to not fear violent rape.
Kids can be made to have no concern with killing friends.
Men can be made to have no problems with severing their own limbs.
Everyone can be made to not care about God or death.

Yes, we are going to see a most wonderful future, thanks to “Science.”

A lab coat does make you a scientist. Perhaps this “scientist” should have that coat on backwards with the lab coat arms tied.

It’s unreal they covered this in a newspaper! It was always just the stuff of “conspiracy theorists.” They need this for the new world order.

Americans and less so, Europeans, are not all going along with the dissolution of their nations for Regional administrative bodies under the UN. Christians, especially in America, are not going along with most of the NWO evil/amoral, ideology and plans. We have messy Western cultural morals and ethics. This is why Homeland inSecurity has become so hostile to Americans - naming all those who are “conservative” (rural people, constitution supporters, second amendment supporters, libertarian third party voters, Veterans, Christians who believe in the End Times) domestic terrorists. We keep messing up the NWO with our defective brains. This is why they are so outraged with Trump. He’ll mess things up with his “nationalism.”

I believe they might have this brain messing technology on a larger scale and it makes you wonder given how docile Americans - especially young people - have become in the face of Federal, State and local perversion and oppression. They may have drugs to deaden this thinking part of the brain. We are to be like docile farm animals in the NWO.

P-Marlowe @17: "You will notice that they claim that magnets can make Christians stop believing in God"

Well, not likely. An October 14, 2015 article, "Research that is simply beyond belief" notes:

[A] team from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), [carried] out an innovative experiment using transcranial magnetic stimulation, a safe way of temporarily shutting down specific regions of the brain.

The researchers targeted the posterior medial frontal cortex, a part of the brain located near the surface and roughly a few inches up from the forehead that is associated with detecting problems and triggering responses that address them.

In the study, half of the participants received a low-level "sham" procedure that did not affect their brains, and half received enough energy to lower activity in the target brain area. Next, all of the participants were first asked to think about death, and then were asked questions about their religious beliefs and their feelings about immigrants.

The findings, published in the journal Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, reveal that people in whom the targeted brain region was temporarily shut down reported [an average of] 32.8% less belief in God, angels, or heaven. They were also [an average of] 28.5% more positive in their feelings toward an immigrant who criticised their country.

However flaws in the study can be seen in the Methods section of the published Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience paper, "Neuromodulation of group prejudice and religious belief" (Colin Holbrook, Keise Izuma, Choi Deblieck, Daniel M.T. Fessler, and Marco Iacoboni):
[University of California] Undergraduates were recruited for a study, ostensibly consisting of a series of unrelated measures, in exchange for $25... As has been done in similar ways in prior studies employing this measure of intergroup bias, to ensure that participants would respond aversively to a Latino immigrant’s criticisms of the USA, those who identified as ‘extremely liberal’ or as non-US citizens were excluded from participating, and four individuals who self-identified as ‘Hispanic/Latino’ after participating were dropped prior to analysis. The final sample consisted of 38 participants (58% female, Mage = 20.9 years, s.d. = 2.67). About 36.8% of the participants identified as White, 36.8% as East Asian, 13.2% as South Asian, 7.9% as Middle Eastern and 5.3% as Other. As intended, the sample was politically moderate (M = 4.68, s.d. = 1.51; 1 = ‘Extremely Liberal’; 5 = ‘Moderate’; 9 = ‘Extremely Conservative’). [References were removed from the quoted excerpt.]
These were UC undergrads! Paid $25 each! And only 38 of them! Of the 38 testees, there was no indication whether any UC undergrads were Christian. If a ranking of 9 = extremely conservative, then 7 or 8 would be conservative, yet the 1 s.d. upper limit is 6.2. In political or theological equivalents, those tested were at best most likely RINOs and/or Episcopalians.... and, again, UC undergrads.

I did posit such, in a recent article. It’s shocking they made this public.
