Thanks for those links, I’ll check them out.

It was my understanding that one would not do anything under hypnosis that one would not do ordinarily, or that one had a strong feeling against doing. Iow, people who end up “quacking like ducks” or singing opera when a trigger word is said don’t have strong feelings against doing those things. My own limited experience was that I was aware of what was going on and felt that I was still — in some sense — in control, just agreeing with the hypnotist, a trusted friend.

Brainwashing, now, not sure about. Though (heh) how else to explain the obamabots and media?

If you can watch the show it is very interesting. From what it showed it is certainly true that the vast majority of people can't be made to do anything too wild. A lot can't even be hypnotized. The disturbing thing is that the one (out of 188 applicants) that they ended up getting to commit an 'assassination' was a very stable guy who was actually a pretty nice guy.

Just so you know; they rigged an airsoft gun to kickback like a real pistol and put movie blood packs on the 'target.' The subject emptied the gun into the 'target' and didn't remember a thing afterwards.

One wonders what could be done with someone who was already unstable. Someone with some real mental/emotional issues.
