"Look Deep Into My Eyes": Experts Agree Obama Using NLP
Evil Conservative Radio ^ | 25 January 2009 | EC

Posted on 01/25/2009 3:46:33 PM PST by nysuperdoodle

Just in case anyone thinks that the reports of our new President Barack Hussein Obama using 70's style-mass-hypnosis techniques on his audiences are overblown, I came across a series of Barack Obama videos on an NLP training site. Apparently the experts agree not only that he's using it, but that he does it so well they can use his techniques to train others.

I avoid listening to him because I can’t stand his voice and I can’t stand those whistling “s”s. It drives me batty.

Throughout the campaign, I kept telling people...half-jokingly...not to look into Obama's eyes....he will Obamatize you! LOL!

The truth is...I recognized the method of hypnosis he was using. It is used by the Scientologists and a couple other religions I wont mention here. In fact, it has been tried on me a few times and each time I recognized it immediately as 'false' and 'creepy'.

My parents taught me different methods to reach the same conclusion when examining whether someone is 'for real'. My dad calls the person a 'bull$hit artist' and my mother likes the term - 'talking out of the side of their mouth'. Both terms were used in our discussions about Fauxbama.....HAHAHA!

I was around in the 70's, I remember carter's high interest rates, gas lines and 55mph speed limit on interstates, but no mass hypnosis. What did I miss?

Not as much as you might think. Neurolinguistic programming was a trendy sort of communications fad promulgated mostly by a couple of guys from California(naturally) in a pair of books called "The Structure Of Magic." They had concocted a theory of persuasive communication based on the application of another academic fad, Ericksonian hypnosis, and attempting to capitalize on the theory that the two cerebral hemispheres handled information differently.

Like global warming and a few other shell games, these were heavy on speculation("Theory") but scarce on data. Lots of anecdotal and illustrative stuff but as so often has been the case with these "breakthroughs" it just didn't turn out to be magic after all.

Within a few years the NLP "founders," Bandler and Grinder, came to be known as "Bandit and Swindler"-- but not before they had hosted a plethora of high-priced workshops and weekend dog & pony shows around the country.

I was studying hypnosis in depth myself during these years and was very familiar with their stuff. There were some good observations they made about how people communicated, but nothing a good salesman didn't already know implicitly, and certainly nothing to be afraid of.

Bammy has charisma, which is altogether a different thing.

My nephews can’t take him either. The day after the election the younger one (6 at the time) woke up and the first thing he said was “Who won?”. When my sister told him Obama won he looked at her and said “Mommy, we have to pray for the country really hard now”.

It really freaked sis out as she’d been trying to shield the boys from the political stuff and tried not to say bad things in front of them.

That same now 7 yr old nephew did something at school that was pretty funny (fortunately he didn’t get in trouble for it):

The teacher was trying to get the students to name an animal they were going to study and she was doing it with vague clues and having them guess. The conversation went like this:

Teacher: “He has black ears”
Some of the students: “Obama! Obama!”
Teacher: “No, that’s not it”
Teacher: “He’s a rodent”
My nephew, loudly and with a little smirk: “YEP!”

LOL....

WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP!!!

Crikey! NLP has nothing to do with hypnosis and nothing to do with brainwashing. Refer here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuro-linguistic_programming

It is about the use of language and its effects on your feelings and beliefs. Your language use and vocabulary say alot about your mood and what your outlook on life is.

NLP Theory goes that if you change your language use and vocabulary, you can change your mood and indeed your outlook on life. Often these changes are fundamental.

Anthony Robbins has made a fortune from NLP, which he re-branded as NAC. It is very popular in management training, which may explain why Obama has this material.

I dislike Obama as much as the next man does, but Hell, people! This thread makes us all look like certifiable kooks!

‘Strewth!

He says this “... a light will shine through that window, a beam of light will come down upon you, you will experience an epiphany ... and you will suddenly realize that you must go to the polls and vote for Obama” - Barack Obama Lebanon, New Hampshire.

To anyone with a 13 yr old girls mentality maybe, but of course, that describes his voters.

She felt so bad that she called in sick? That is really strange. Is she normally a rational person or is she kinda flaky most of the time, don't mean to criticize her but I am really curious. I have felt repulsed by him for a long time, but I thought I might be subsconsicously identifying him with someone who was very unkind to me.

Hypnosis techniques will not work on a strong believer in Jesus Christ. Yes, I agree it’s the weak minded without a strong belief system in place can be taken in like the Germans were with Hitler. In fact, he probably studied Hitler. It will break...the honeymoon will soon be over...and people will become repulsed with him....quickly.

The article quotes the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons thusly:

Hand gestures can be used as hypnotic anchors, or to aid in hypnotic command implantation. They can be difficult to distinguish from innocent gestures used for emphasis. Obama, however, uses some gestures extraordinarily often and for very specific words such as “believe” and “chose.” His characteristic thumb-and-forefinger gesture looks like a hand holding a pencil—as if you were in a voting booth. The gesture of pointing sends the subconscious message that a person in authority is giving a command.

Obama actually said at one time: “a light will shine down from somewhere, it will light upon you, you will experience an epiphany, and you will say to yourself, ‘I have to vote for Barack.’”

I guess talking about what the professionals think makes us kooks?

That’s the ‘epiphany’ part...

1. Obviously his tactics don’t work on us for whatever reason. That doesn’t mean they don’t work.

2. He only needs it to work on 50.1% of the voters.

3. People actually study this and the article is about the fact that NLP trainers are using Obama videos to train people in NLP techniques. Maybe next you can submit a post going after Louis Pasteur and all those “germ freaks” or defending the flat earth theory.

4. But even that isn’t really the point. The NLP trainers know one of their own and to deny he is using what he is obviously using seems weird to me

I thought it was just me,but i had the impression his major speeches(didn’t see all of them)were well rehearsed and his use of body language was very effective.Very little substance but very effectively connected with the crowds on an emotional level-(imo libs are not a very cerebral buch).If BO was in fact a community organizer in Chicago(and not just a number on a payroll),he employed the same techniques in organizing.Passed down from SAlinsky aka Marxist+Chicago organizer.If any here haven’t read Rules For Radicals,it is really informative and provides insight to BO.Quick read.

NO! That’s the weird part is that she is normally one of the normal ones. She called in sick because she felt HORRIBLE. Even emailed me and said “This is crazy”. I felt bad for her. Maybe she just got caught up in the emotion at her very liberal office and felt like she abandoned her principles after.

So it’s not just me? I mean sometimes that overwhelming sense of doom is crippling and I think I have lost my ever loving mind and surely things won’t get SOOOO bad.

And then I talk to my friends from Zimbabwe who were ran off their farm at knife/gunpoint and they expressed how nice their country used to be...

Needless to say, they are quite frightened right now too.

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but yes, it does.
