Know how we’ve been gently poking fun at the Obamabots, the Kool-Aid kids? Maybe there is a real reason for their incoherent, incomprehensible behavior. Ever hear of NLP or Neuro-linguistic programming? Me neither, until someone directed me to this YouTube video a few minutes ago.
Now before anyone “jumps ugly” I’m not here to support or defend NLP or testify to its efficacy. I only ask you only to consider it is possible that the reason we’ve seen so many American voters behaving like sheeples in a trance is because they are in a trance.
View the video and contemplate my questions at the end.

“I made a meme!” ping.
Freepers have been on this since the primaries.

Could we please stop with this ridiculous notion. Barack Obama has marginal speaking skills at best, there is nothing special whatsoever with his ability to communicate. He inherited a 50-50 country to begin with, he has received hundreds of millions of dollars from overseas contributors and they have used that money to overwhelm the media, the voter registration processes, the blogs, and other propaganda. And he still ain’t out of the woods yet. There is nothing more to this clown than that.
There was a guy on Sci Fi channel who would make people do what he wanted by a form of hypnosis. He would make people want the gift he was giving them by emphasizing certain words or letters. I noticed he was pounding on the letters “B. M. X.” and I thought, he is giving him a bicycle and sure enough, the guy says he always wanted a BMC bike.
I have noticed this speech pattern Barack uses. And I would not be surprised as this campaign has blown my mind with the level of ridiculousness that is happening in it.
I wish it was as simple as him just BS'ing someone. Don't listen to the direct words he said, listen for what he does behind the words- rhythms, speech patterns, sounds or gestures he makes on specific words, the way he personalizes messages and uses imagery to make a thought stick in your mind.
Picture in your mind, for a moment, a cult leader. You've seen the videos on the news, how they speak, how all the followers seem glassy eyed listening to him. Remember how they all sat around, moving together, rocking or swaying. Think about how you wanted to slap them out of the trance and say wake up. They often aren't even in comfortable situations. Picture yourself where they are sitting, in a barn, field, wherever, listing to this leader. How can you hear with rationality in the uncomfortable situation, yet, they are doing it. Why don't those people get up and walk away? They are being manipulated with more than just the words you hear. There is a hidden message. Next time you listen or watch Obama, look for these things. Remember what you just pictured with the cult leader, then look at what is happening when Obama speaks. You will see the similarity and it is shocking.
He is actually a gifted speaker in terms of charisma and grabbing the audience. Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups. It is very easy for a devious politician to be able to speak directly to them and to capture their minds. He and his minions have worked the public much as Hitler and his people did the German public. Yes, he is a Nazi socialist POS.
I’m immune to such mind-tricks. Many strong-willed people are. As for the rest, “The Force can have a strong influence on the weak-minded. You will find it a powerful ally.”
Look, I don’t know is NLP is real or not. Given this strange political season, where I (and many others) feel we are living in a parallel universe give me a better alternative to the bizarre behavior of so many Americans.
Gotta admit there are creepy parallels with Obama and you know who in Germany in the 30’s. I’m not the first draw these parallels between the two. They are all over the Internet, including here.
I probably should have posted this as “satire” . . . maybe.
The power of “subliminal messaging” has been demonstrated several times, with varying results.
It appears to be an adaptation of the principles of psychologist B.F. Skinner, and his theories on “operant behavior”. By using some of the more extreme examples, living creatures may be “taught” to do things that absolutely contradict what may be considered as survival skills, and engage in self-destructive behavior, with what seems to be great relish.
This whole campaign was based on finally applying “operant behavior” that has been taught in schools for the past quarter century or more, and inducing enough of these “trained” human lab rats to act in a manner totally inimical to their personal well-being.
Yes, it real
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuro-linguistic_programming
as is Ericksonian hypnosis.

I wish it were satire but I have witnessed firsthand the psychotic, irrational “loyalty” his “followers” have.
Theoretically sane and rational people act like heroin addicts when you speak any truth about their “fix”.
There is no -rational- explanation for their behavior.
The freak is not even “charismatic” enough to warrant such slavish devotion.
When he loses, this country is going witness massive, collective left-wing “withdrawal”.
It’s going to be a very ugly and dangerous time.
Complete nonsense. This guy polls similarly to Al Gore and John Kerry, two of the biggest stiffs ever to run for office. He has complete cover from the press, anti-American forces worldwide working for him, and he still is having trouble putting away a very mediocre Republican candidate. Gore and Kerry faced a stronger candidate. You guys are ridiculous.
0be’s not a National Socialist, he’s an International Socialist. Same thing, bigger goals.
Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Wiki.
I believe I am also. I'm typically the one person in a class or at a retreat who won't go along with the group or conform (and takes flack for it afterward).
If we're lucky Obama will lose the election. However, That's not the end of the story. He may retain many of his followers and rise again as supreme cult leader on the international scene, and we all know where that leads.
This is an article from The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. Link to original: http://www.aapsonline.org/newsoftheday/0089
If anyone was qualified to comment on Barak Obama’s use or non-use of NLP, they are.
The original article at http://www.aapsonline.org/newsoftheday/0089 was written by a doctor. It details the use of conversational hypnosis by Obama.
Does he have cover from the press? Of course. Anti-American forces working for him? Of course.
Are there people and groups who use NLP every day to control followers and take their money? You’re damn right there are. Obama is crooked and inhumane enough to use whatever it takes to get elected.
