Can Ms. Mansfield arrange these mind melds with the
mujahadin? Just how does that work? Do we sit in a circle and hold
hands and sing, "I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect
harmony..."<<<
Brainwashing is not so difficult, you experience it every time you turn on your TV.
You are told that you must have "x-brand" and one day you think it will be a good idea to buy it.
Look at the computer on your desk and all the attachments and programs on it......guess what, you could live a very nice life without that computer, or have you forgotten what you did with your time, before you bought the best computer advertised.
The leaders of these mujahadin were trained in russia, the proof is out there, much of it right here on Free Republic.
Russia did more work on brainwashing that any other group, and has been know to use it for many years, that info can be found also.
Keep in mind that Jill is not a well trained U.S. Marine, but as a writer, a dreamer of sorts, therefor a good subject for brainwashing.
I am sure every day she was taught the koran and told how lucky she was that a kind group of people were holding her hostage, how fortunate she was to be alive, did she enjoy her lunch, then you must help us look at what the Americans are doing to our ladies.
The terrorists are known for taking fake photos, and I would bet that looking at the photos of a hundred or so dead and cut up people each day, with all the words that went with them and the reminders of how lucky she was, would affect your thinking also.
The reward for repeating the script as written by the terrorists, is not only other peoples lives, but also your own.
She has a family, she had seen how they killed her driver.
She had no doubt, that she must do exactly as they told her to do, one mis-step and she is dead or her loved ones - any place in the world will be killed and then her, so she would know what it feels like to loose a loved one.
Try sitting in a room, under fear of death for 3 months and thinking what is in your head, or what has been put in your head and see if you will agree to a few lies in trade for freedom.
If you have not read up on brainwashing, do read about it, one of the best ways to learn, is the methods that the Military uses to teach our service people, so they will be
equipped mentally to survive being a POW.
Read some of the books on the russian methods of brainwashing, imagine what a KGB trained brainwasher could do, true, they often left scars.
After one learns about brainwashing, then take a look at the school books your children are reading today, you will find them good brainwashing tools.
Yes, I always ramble on and get off subject, but school books and TV are just that brainwashing tools.
Please note, I did not say they showed her photos of the murder and torture that we did, as we know they photograph their own dead for propaganda and when the first reports came out, the jihadi used \sex photos from an adult porn website, in their hate campaign and said it was American Servicemen who were raping the muslim women.
