A bizarre experiment claims to be able to make Christians no longer believe in God and make Britons open their arms to migrants in experiments some may find a threat to their values.
Scientists looked at how the brain resolves abstract ideological problems.
Using a technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), researchers safely shut down certain groups of neurones in the brains of volunteers.
Leftist wet dream.
Is this Orwell?
You can mess around with a TV picture using a magnet.
When my kids were little I had a couple of rare earth magnets. One of them found them and quickly discovered the interesting effect that they had on old-school CRT televisions.
Unfortunately our television never recovered. As far as Mrs. Buckeye was concerned that was all MY fault for having super-powerful magnets in the house in the first place.
Now, on the old TV shows and in the comic books, if you reverse the polarity of the magnets you should be able to make the atheists believe in God, etc.
I salvage magnets from retired hard drives from work and use them for holding, clamping, and retrieval tasks around the shop. Wife was impressed when I used one to pull out the broken off tip of a glazier’s point that was embedded in the heel of her foot.
This article that was posted here yesterday, I believe, gives the low-down on most of these so-called scientific studies by liberals:

Most of this “research” is just lies. Unfortunately, lots of liberals believe it. But socialists are all pretty gullible.
As long as they don’t stop me from liking Ludwig Van.
Can they turn Bernie Sanders into a freedom loving, free enterprise capitalist? And turn Luis Gutiérrez into a border enforcement hawk? Or does this magnetic technique only take you over to the Dark Side?
Nothing will shake me because I am firm in God’s word. This crap is just that...crap.
On a related note, I think the end has to be close given the massive acceleration towards the brick wall.
And Uri Geller can bend spoons with his mind.
Didn't think so...
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
Obviously, This has all ready been used on 99% of the politicians in this country...
Government looking to wipe out conservatives and Christians either by force or they will dupe them into getting this done under the false idea that it would cure them of depression, weight loss or some other reason.
How Orwellian.
Watching “How the Universe works” last night and was pleased to hear a scientist say ‘There will be dark matter if God decides there should be dark matter’.
aka...brain damage.

Abstract
People cleave to ideological convictions with greater intensity in the aftermath of threat. The posterior medial frontal cortex (pMFC) plays a key role in both detecting discrepancies between desired and current conditions and adjusting subsequent behavior to resolve such conflicts. Building on prior literature examining the role of the pMFC in shifts in relatively low-level decision processes, we demonstrate that the pMFC mediates adjustments in adherence to political and religious ideologies. We presented participants with a reminder of death and a critique of their in-group ostensibly written by a member of an out-group, then experimentally decreased both avowed belief in God and out-group derogation by downregulating pMFC activity via transcranial magnetic stimulation. The results provide the first evidence that group prejudice and religious belief are susceptible to targeted neuromodulation, and point to a shared cognitive mechanism underlying concrete and abstract decision processes. We discuss the implications of these findings for further research characterizing the cognitive and affective mechanisms at play.

Give me an arm chair, a pair of pliers, and some rope and I can make them say anything I want them to say.
That’s the movie and the drops in the eyes that cause that!
I just thought of something! IF they make people “change their mind” with magnets, what happens when the magnetic poles shift as scientists say it will do?
