A Professional Hypnotist on Media Manipulation & the Failed Attempt to Silence Ron Paul

As a professional hypnotist, I have worked to empower people to access the power of their subconscious mind to create positive change. In 1958, the American Medical Association endorsed hypnotherapy as a valuable self help tool, so it has nothing to do with magic- it is all about suggestibility.

Suggestibility is how we learn and process information, some of us are right brain suggestible (direct suggestions) while others are more left brain suggestible (inferred suggestions). Hypnotherapy is the process of working with a person’s suggestibility to overload and bypass the conscious mind (estimated at 10%), and inducing a trance state to access the powerful 90% of the mind, which is subconscious. All of our memories and conditioning is stored in the subconscious, so change can happen quickly in a subconscious state of mind, as the critical conscious mind is put to “sleep”. It is natural to fall into various levels of trance throughout the day (daydreaming, jogging, engrossed in a movie or book), and trance is the suggestible brain wave states of Alpha (light trance) and Theta (deep trance). However, with the overload of information in modern society, humanity has been conditioned to live in a constant state of Alpha and Theta trance, creating an easily influenced and hyper-suggestible population. Much of my practice is dedicated to dehypnotizing people who were in a constant state of hyper- suggestibility. We can ponder if this hyper-suggestible population is by design or just a byproduct of the information age, regardless of how it happened, it is here and the challenge is now.

We now live in a sound bite society, where many have become completely absorbed by the latest reality show or electronic gadget. Many are unknowingly steered to support politicians and policies that really benefit the elite, and not the people. Many are just lazy to research, and eager to obey. How else could one explain the popularity of bought and paid for establishment candidates running in the 2008 presidential elections? What kind of bizarro Orwellian world do we live in when calculating warmonger candidates are crowned the front runners by the corporate controlled media, and a principled, anti-war candidate like Dr. Ron Paul is considered “fringe”? When did liberty, sound money, and peace become “fringe”?

The establishment are experts at manipulation. They use fear to control. They are quick to smear and distort the truth. Unfortunately, a large majority of Americans are living in a false reality. They are ignorant and know more about the finalists on American Idol than the policies of the establishment candidates running for president. In reality, the establishment candidates are the same policy wise with slight variations, and the sheeple are given a pretend “choice”. I will provide some answers on how the corporate media has created these misinformed individuals.

The television has the appropriate nickname of the “idiot tube”. NOTHING has done more damage to independent thinking than TV. Furthermore, television conditions the human mind to settle into the Alpha brain wave state quickly and the more TV we watch, the more quickly we slip into TV induced trance. You are then open and receptive to whatever is being peddled on TV. Granted, responsible programming can educate and entertain. Yet the “entertainment” industry has sold out to the almighty dollar, and peddle gratuitous sex, violence, and propaganda that can damage our perceptions and behaviors. TV journalism is irresponsible. The propaganda peddled by FOX, MSNBC, and CNN look to increase ratings and push the objectives of the money people behind the scenes, and the corporate advertisers who buy commercial time. It isn’t surprising to realize that MSNBC is owned by GE, a HUGE war profiteer. Don’t forget that FOX head honcho Rupert Murdoch donated to Giuliani, but also donated to Clinton as he has held fundraisers for her. If Giuliani or Clinton would have won, they would have been beholden to Murdoch. Dr. Paul frightens the corporate establishment, as he cannot be bought by them. As a result, the establishment controlled media smear and belittle Dr. Paul and his supporters. The brainwashed population who accept the establishment candidates buy into the media assertions of “kooky and “fringe”. How does the old media control the hyper-suggestible population using hypnotic principles?

1) LAW OF OVERLOAD- the special effects and colorful graphics behind the TV broadcast “journalist” induce visual trance (think of a hypnotist’s swinging pendulum, or imagine how a casino overloads people with colors and sounds to elicit a suggestible “gambling” trance state). In addition, the streaming words on the the lower portion of the screen providing news updates is a form of subliminal programming- you focus on the broadcaster, your subconscious is being fed the words, you focus on the words, your subconscious accepts the message of the broadcaster.

2) LAW OF REPETITION- how many times has the old media portrayed Dr. Paul as “fringe”? Now read any of the blog sites smearing Dr. Paul, and like Pavlov’s dogs, the Ron Paul critics are parroting the same words like “fringe” and “kooky”. In hypnosis, information is repeated in patterns of three, with twenty one being a powerful number number of repetitions to influence behavior. Those against Ron Paul understand the power of repetition.

3) THE LAW OF ASSOCIATION- another powerful hypnotic principle, which is also the main principle behind Pavlov’s research of ringing a bell while feeding a dog, so later the dog hears the bell he salivates for food. The establishment controlled media is doing it’s best to tie in Dr. Paul with controversy. As an example, a donor of Dr. Paul happens to hold racist views, Dr. Paul is now guilty by association, even though he is not a racist and cannot control who supports him. Every campaign will have contributors with controversial views, imagine how many the warmongering candidates have? Unfortunately, the easily swayed SHEEPLE buy into the propaganda without research.

4) FEAR. It controls the weak and suggestible. Ron Paul critics are afraid of less government. They fear change. They fear going against the status quo. They have so much fear they have been willing to give up their freedoms.

5) IDOL WORSHIP. The brainwashed idolize the famous. TV creates the American Idols that SHEEPLE love. Both McCain and Obama have huge name recognition and the easily influenced are seduced by the fame.

Here are some tips to keep yourself in the Beta brain wave state (wide awake, and blocked from brainwashing)-

A) Be wise in your television viewing. Don’t watch too much TV news, especially at night. We are more receptive later in the evening as the critical conscious mind is tiring as we move towards sleep, leaving the subconscious receptive to TV propaganda.

B) We are very suggestible to ourselves. Be positive in your self talk. You create your reality by how you think.

C) Food affects mood, and overeating junk food can create hypoglycemic states that leave you more receptive to influence. Avoid human tinkered with processed foods.

D) Exercise and meditation allow you to control the trance state, as you decide to slip into trance while practicing a healthy habit, versus slipping into TV trance to watch some negative programming.

CNN, MSNBC, and FOX are all the same, pushing the left vs right paradigm. The reality is collectivism vs individualism, or freedom vs fascism. All of the old media are part of the same greed and manipulation. The old adage of sticks and stones may break bones, but words can never hurt is a myth. Words, and the way a message is delivered has great impact on our society. Please pass this message along, as us patriotic Americans who are awake to the deception need to spread the word. We also need to do the best we can to protect the freedom of the internet (as Dr. Paul has proven to be a great defender of a free internet), as the powers that be will soon attempt to dismantle this new “power to the people” media.

The Ron Paul Revolution is real- intelligent Americans everywhere have become empowered as a political force to restore America to greatness in a peaceful way. We also have a responsibility to remind everyone that the constitution is the foundation of this wonderful country, and to make sure it is not ignored. To some degree, the old media was successful in silencing Ron Paul. However, Dr. Paul opened the eyes of millions. He has awoken a sleeping giant, and his campaign has also exposed the mainstream media for the dying relic that it is.

The Old Media is in it’s final legs. Americans are waking up to the fact that the constant negative propaganda is based on the establishment agenda and ratings. Don’t let the likes of CNN, FOX, and MSNBC suck you into their vortex of negativity. Watch less, and when watching question the spin. Don’t blindly believe, examine and realize that everyone has their version of the truth. On top of all Dr. Paul has done to spread the message of liberty, a humble foreign policy, and sound money, his campaign has also opened the eyes of millions of people around the world regarding the biased Old Media. As history and the future will prove, Dr. Paul has already won in so many ways.
