Someone I know just sent me this extraordinary article, very alarming to say the least:
"New research involving a psychologist from the University of York has revealed for the first time that both belief in God and prejudice towards immigrants can be reduced by directing magnetic energy into the brain.
Dr Keise Izuma collaborated with a team from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), to carry 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."

That’s “The Country of the Blind”, a short story Wells wrote originally in 1904.
Yes, the man, a mountaineer named Nunez, trying to conquer the summit of Parascotopetl, slips and falls and finds himself in the country of the blind et al.
The crazy people want now to try and render us all to their level. Sheer madness.
Sounds like someone found their old copy of “Illuminatus!” in the attic.....except it was a drug rather than magnetism.
So libs already have their medial frontal cortex shut down?????? That is what i got from the article.
Wow is that deep. What could be the other reason.
I don’t think fear of death is it.
Even when I didn’t believe very much, i didn’t fear death. I wouldn’t know I was dead so why would i be afraid?
And just because science “thinks” they found a way to shut off the part of the brain that makes you believe doesn’t prove there’s not a God. It might prove moreso there IS a God.
There’s probably a way to shut down the part of the brain that tells you you’re hungry. Doesn’t mean there’s not hunger. You just shut off a part of God’s great machinery.
I dont smoke pot but this would probably be a great discussion to have after smoking lol
That’s what it does sound like.
It’s going to get to the point where normal people will have to realise that we cannot inhabit the same areas of the world as the crazy people.
I’d be willing to split the world with them, normal people on one side, the crazies on the other and we just live segregated like this and we leave them alone and they leave us alone.
Well yes that’s how I read it also. Of course the Liberals being generally crazy, seem not to realise that this means they’re actually suffering from brain damage, because their medial frontal cortex is impaired.
Have no fear, only 25% of psych first time studies are replicated. Why? Could be that college kids were used as subjects. They have little cognitive ability beyond what has been programmed into their brains. Garbage in, garbage out. Which is also why the Bible tells you to train your children in the way they should go because one day public schools will try to erase everything you taught them and rewrite their memories while they are at it. Besides, the questions were probably loaded, too.
WTF?! What new Hell is this?
What I got out of that was that if your brain is impaired or or influenced by government experiments you are more likely to support illegal immigration or be an atheist

Of course this is why Liberals in general are so fanatically against homeschooling, because the children aren’t subjected to the propaganda and brainwashing.
Who decided these experiments should be conducted?
That about sums it up.
Mentally defective to be oblivious to our Creator!
Is this supposed to demonstrate the SOUNDNESS of LIBERAL IDEAS—that they can make you believe them by SHUTTING DOWN YOUR BRAIN?
Then the report needs to be fed back into the internet and especially posted in Muslim communities around the world.
That will teach those "scientists" to engage in propaganda.

Have fun.
I’m 67, been listening to the msm try and do this for a couple of decades or more, doesn’t seem to work very well with those who are well grounded in the Word from an early age. I made that decision when I was only 14.
Nor have they succeeded in changing my mind on illegals who steal our jobs, commit crimes, and use our safety net systems to the point US Citizens are having a hard time accessing them when in true need.
All you know about it is what has been drilled into your head.
If "they" wanted it legalized, it would have been done long ago. It has taken decades of masses of people rejecting the laws of man to get it legal again in just a few areas of this nation.
"I am very glad to hear that the Gardener has saved so much of the St. foin seed, and that of the India Hemp. Make the most you can of both, by sowing them again in drills. . . Let the ground be well prepared, and the Seed (St. foin) be sown in April. The Hemp may be sown any where. " George Washington to William Pearce, 24 February 1794
Would you have the nazi drug death squads kill GW, or TJ? It used to be illegal to NOT grow hemp! Every farmer had a percentage of his land that HAD to grow cannabis!
This plant is truly a divine gift of a Loving Creator! Take care how you judge your neighbor.

Isn’t there a passage on the line of “would even deceive the elect, should not the days be cut short”?
