Mind war has been underway since before most of us were born. Now it has flowered into full-spectrum psychological non-stop assault. In this mind war there are no set piece battles with interludes between battles for recuperation. This war is relentless and ceaseless; every moment of every day is a continuation of attack. Like a water drip eroding stone.
We are adapting to it, because that is what humans do.
#10 Read William Sargant’s “Battle for the Mind”, mainly about communist “brainwashing, indoctrination and propaganda”, 1950’s.
Then my late friend Ed Hunter’s “Brainwashing in Red China”.
Good primers on psychological warfare.
