It’s a cult.
It is even more sinister than you think. I’ve had chats w/ many FReepers about this. One of Obama’s main speechwriters is an expert on something known as Neuro Linguistic Programming and has written several books on it. Neuro Linguistic Programming is a way to psychologically manipulate (for good or bad) the listener though specific communication methods. Call it, hypnosis lite.
I call it BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
Well, at least now we can understand the fainting...

Do you know the name of 0’s speechwriter who does NLP? I’d appreciate it.
Remember when 0 used his LEFT hand to salute the flag or during the national anthem? That’s a cute NLP trick.
Money quote!
Electing Obama will set this nation back a generation.
The infamous George Lakoff.
If, somehow, we still manage to pull out victory, we will have dodged a bullet none of us had better forget.
This exlains it even better:

Understanding Obama: The Making of the Fuerher

Fascinating article on Obama’s psychosis and those of his followers.
I have used NLP to help with personal changes that I've wanted to make, had probably 20 classes on it, but I don't see the techniques ? Could you be more specific ?
Thanks, mnehrling.
"In 1951, Jones began attending communist meetings and rallies in Indianapolis.[4] Jones became flustered at harassment he received during the McCarthy Hearings,[4] particularly, regarding meetings between Jones and his mother with Paul Robeson.[5] This, among other things, provoked a seminal moment for Jones where he asked himself "how can I demonstrate my Marxism? The thought was, infiltrate the church."[5][4]"
"In the summer of 1977, Jones and most of the 900 members of the People's Temple moved to Guyana from San Francisco after media pressure built.[25] Jones left the same night that an editor at New West magazine read Jones an article by Marshall Kilduff to be published detailing allegations by former Temple members.[25][16] Jones named the settlement Jonestown after himself.
Jones purported to establish Jonestown as a benevolent model communist community stating, 'I believe we’re the purest communists there are.' [26] Jones' wife, Marceline, described Jonestown as "dedicated to live for socialism, total economic and racial and social equality. We are here living communally."[26] Jones wanted to construct a model community to show others and stated that Prime Minister of Guyana Forbes Burnham 'couldn’t rave enough about us, uh, the wonderful things we do, the project, the model of socialism.'[27] In that regard, like the restrictive emigration policies of the then Soviet Union, Cuba, North Korea and other communist republics, Jones did not permit members to leave Jonestown.[28]
Jones and several members argued that the group should commit "revolutionary suicide" by drinking cyanide-laced grape flavored Flavor Aid (often misidentified as Kool-Aid) along with a sedative.[39]
One member, Christine Miller, dissents toward the beginning of the tape.[39] When members apparently cried, Jones counseled "Stop this hysterics. This is not the way for people who are Socialists or Communists to die. No way for us to die. We must die with some dignity."[39] Jones can be heard saying, "Don't be afraid to die" and, regarding death as "just stepping over into another plane" and that "[death is] a friend."[39] At the end of the tape, Jones concludes: "We didn't commit suicide, we committed an act of revolutionary suicide protesting the conditions of an inhumane world."[39] Children were given the drink first and families were told to lie down together. The mass suicide had been discussed in simulated events called "White Nights" on a regular basis, while members drank liquid Jones first told them was poison during at least one of those White Nights.
The left hand salute is new to me, but there are several obvious ones Obama uses. Just a few examples that jump out: Using the Milton Model, making vague statements after having the listener visualize a siutation, thus, putting themselves in the situation. He is always changing up and using listerner’s represenational systems (not sticking to one when speaking to a large audience, focusing on one (Now Look w/ McCain for example), when dealing with one person trying to get a reaction out of them.) Visual Imagery, he always paints pictures of concepts. Rhythm in speaking. Swish moments, like suddenly changing subject, hitting a podium, etc. He uses the ‘six step reframe’ often when he tries to sway undecided, the behavior to change is not supporting him. Value reframing when he tries to make a negative aspect appear positive.. etc.. IMHO, using the six step reframe is one of the more sinister if you watch for it.
