I've been puzzled for some time over the apparent brainwashing of otherwise rational people when it comes to Obama. Almost without exception, they are repeating the same lines, almost trance-like. Didn't really hit me until reading this article. I have read some on NLP, but didn't really make the connection until reading this article. Interested in comments from anyone who might be a little more well-versed in this field.

Me too.

We’re reaching here, aren’t we?

Another NLP website (http://www.hypnosnlp.com) selling NLP training has a series of Yahoo news article links on its page. One of the links leads to Archbishop Chaput quoted as saying:

“”To suggest — as some Catholics do — that Senator Obama is this year’s ‘real’ pro-life candidate requires a peculiar kind of self-hypnosis, or moral confusion, or worse,” Chaput said according to his prepared remarks, titled “Little Murders.”

And here we thought he was channeling Saul Alinsky...

Thank you for posting this.

I found this part of the paper illuminating and have edited it somewhat: (From one of Obama’s speeches)

“It has now been a little over two months (pause) since we began (pause) this campaign for the Presidency. (pause) In that time we have traveled all across this country. (pause) And before every event we do (pause), I usually have a minute to sit quietly and (pause) collect my thoughts. (pause) And recently, I’ve found myself (pause) reflecting on (pause) what it was that led me (different tone, and thumb and forefinger anchor for “me”) to public service in the first place.”

-snip-

Obama has hidden undetectably in normal-sounding speech what a hypnotist would do to start an induction by saying “sit quietly, begin to internalize your thoughts, collect your thoughts, reflect, and focus on me and the sound of my voice.” He is talking to your subconscious mind, preparing it for deeper induction and programming, while you think he is just telling you stories. Then, for the rest of the speech, your subconscious mind will be receptive to messages on this level that you won’t even be aware of.

So this is what the 30 minute TV time Obama purchased is about...?

[Arthur McGowan]

The reason Obama has millions of people fooled is not some special, esoteric skill of his own.

Rather, the millions of Obamabots have been TRAINED to be uncritical, herd-followers by a massively funded government program. Hundreds of billions in tax dollars are poured into this government mind-control operation each year. Almost all Americans have spent years on end being conditioned by this government operation, having their ability to read and think impaired, through finely-honed techniques.

These laboratories are widely known as “government schools.”

His speech has a different effect on me.

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

I've read most of this now, and I'm convinced that "The One" is at least trying to use hypnosis techniques. As to how effective they are, it's certainly something to think about.

For all of us who are puzzled about his inexplicable popularity, this paper certainly makes sense.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!!!

“Shocking Discovery: Successful Politician Able To Give Persuasive Speech!”

Whooda’ thunk it?

[svcw]

It is a very interesting.
Mesmerizing comes from a guy who could “hypnotize” great crowds of people, hence the name.
Hitler used these techniques.
Barry the Marxist could also be using these techniques, it would explain allot.
But even if he is, how do you reverse the affect?

[hope]

hmmm, so the half hour on all the major cable news nets are to finish off those last stragglers?
