Ping!

Bumping what you said!

Look at the two men:
1) both came from the fringes of their respective nations (Hitler from Linz in Austria and Obama from Hawaii)
2) both spent their youth in a great multi-racial and multi-ethnic metropolis (Vienna and Chicago)
3) both had very troubled relationships with their fathers and their mothers died young (of cancer)
4) both went to great lengths conceal their family ancestry: Obama for fear that he might have been born outside the US and Hitler for fear one of his ancestors might have been Jewish
5) both used the events of their youth as formative motifs for their political careers: AH as a front line soldier and BO as a community organizer
6) both came from literally nowhere: AH was an obscure rabble rouser before the Crash of 1929 and BO was an obscure first term senator
7) both were relatively young when they rose to power, and in societies where age and experience were considered as prerequisites for power.
8) both harbor resentments against others: AH against the Jews and BO against white society
9) both promise hope and change
10) both modeled their political career after mentors: Hitler after the socialist mayor of Vienna (whose name escapes me) and BO after Saul Alinsky.

Funny you would mention Nicolae. I've thought a great deal about him this past year.

Of course, that's just fiction, isn't it?

Ummmm, yeah sure. Wasn't there some weird thing about his birth as well? I may be mis-remembering.

[Canedawg]

His speech has a different effect on me.

As soon as i hear his voice i hit the mute button.

Its a long read. I don't specifically remember any mention of GWB’s use of these techniques to convince the US that Saddam had WMDs.

if there weren’t,Obama should have been a stumbling,stuttering mess-but he wasn’t.

Matter of opinion.

"I wonder if McCain can counter this..."

Sure. Fight fire with fire. Run an infomercial with someone of the same skills.

Well I was thinking instead of a competing hypnosis attempt, simply use what Obama has started and then either counter it using Obama's own signals or redirect it. Since the ground work is done, you might not need a whole informercial. Just use Obama's own signals combined with a different command. And I think you would do that one of several ways:

• Show Obama making his anchor sign and flash words and pause on words like Obama lied, untrustworthy, don't follow, do the opposite. Words that either counter the hypnotic trust or words that redirect the actions.
• Use Obama's signals with a new command, Choose McCain, reject Obama, don't be told what to do.
• Or Show McCain making Obama's anchor sign giving the message vote for McCain. Then when the anchor sign kicks in they're confused and they have to decide on their own.

There is someone on the Obama website who has a blog with the user name “NLP Master.” URL is
http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/blog/davidplotkin

David Axelrod’s father, by the way, was a psychologist; he committed suicide when David was 19. David’s mother was a lefty journalist for a far left magazine called “PM.”

See:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/may/23/barackobama.uselections2008

“Although Chicago is home, Axelrod, 53, was born in New York’s Lower East Side, into a leftwing Jewish family, his mother a journalist and his father a psychologist. When he was only 19, his father, suffering from depression, killed himself, an act that so devastated Axelrod that it would be 30 years before he would publicly acknowledge it, with an article about depression.”

David was born in 1955, so he was 19 in 1974. Thirty years later would be 2004. If he wrote an article about depression in 2004, perhaps he speaks about various therapies; NLP is often touted as a potent treatment for depression.

Great research, GD. All very interesting....

No graphic artist in his or her right mind would have purposely made that choice unless there were some other, non-aesthetic, reason for doing so.

And what about that gruesome official campaign poster picture of Obama with all that red going through it. I couldn't believe it when I first saw it. It looks like something off the cover of an Orwellian novel. Who would and why would someone make that poster on purpose???? Creepy.

I went to their site but didn’t see a contact link. I wanted to encourage them to put out a fast youtube on this subject. Hopefully the movie will help.
