This is my area of research and study.

The techniques O’Bummer used are very typical of what he observed every time he went to church with Rev. Wright.

The techniques are the same utilized by stage hypnotists to manipulate individuals and entire audiences, They are also used in various religious settings such as revival meetings and the charismatic movement. I have visited these churches and observed the techniques in action. They induce a trance where the individual loses their ability to discern truth from non truth.

The techniques are simple.

Step one, allow the volume of your voice to go up and down. Shout and then whisper.

Step two, create an imbalance in the person's emotions. Tell a very sad story and then a happy one. This is to destabilize the person. Music serves to amplify this step.

Step three, increase the emotional destabilization by introducing extreme anger, fear, or guilt. This is why O’Bummer demonized Bush so often.

Step four, offer a way to help the person get rid of their extreme emotion. The individual will experience a profound physiological and psychological experience and in religious settings, will claim to be born again. It is a false experience as the individual surrenders their will to another person and not to a higher power.

Hitler used the same oratory hypnotic techniques.

Very interesting stuff. IIRC Obama took tapes of Jeremiah Wright’s sermons with him to Hahhvahd so that he might study them in his spare time. Obviously he wasn’t studying Wright’s theology...he must have been studying Wright’s technique.

Is part of this technique the reverberation that is always present when he gives a speech?

Is Obama the brains of the message or just a good messeger or both?

"The techniques O’Bummer used are very typical of what he observed every time he went to church with Rev. Wright."

That's why Obama went to that church for 20 years. I learn hypnotic demagoguery. His hand gestures (mudras) part of his stage act. There are many photos of him looking down his nose at people. That must be intentional too. Anyone with any sense would be turned off by that look. He may not even do that very often

His NLP skillz spin out of control

Obama's NLP hand gestures and powers of persuasion don't work on Vladimir Putin...... Putin sipping on his tea. Calmly taking it all in and wishing he didn't have to spend time listening to this clueless moron. Putin and his advisers had a good belly laugh afterward.
