HOW TOTALITARIANS CONTROL YOUR MIND
"Let me repeat what I said at the very beginning of this book. The modern techniques of brainwashing and menticide those perversions of psychology can bring almost any man into submission and surrender. Many of the victims of thought control, brainwashing, and menticide* that we have talked about were strong men whose minds and wills were broken and degraded. But although the totalitarians use their knowledge of the mind for vicious and unscrupulous purposes, our democratic society can and must use its knowledge to help man to grow, to guard his freedom, and to understand himself." -- Joost A.M. Meerloo, MD, from the final page of the book "RAPE OF THE MIND".
(*menticide = definition: noun, "The destruction or undermining of a person's mental independence in order to alter his or her beliefs" )."

SINCE 1933, when a completely drugged and trial-conditioned human wreck confessed to having started the Reichstag fire in Berlin, Dr. Joost A. M. Meerloo has studied the methods by which systematic mental pressure brings people to abject submission, and by which totalitarians imprint their subjective "truth" on their victims' minds. The first two and one-half years of World War II, Dr. Meerloo spent under the pressure of Nazi-occupied Holland, witnessing at firsthand the Nazi methods of mental torture .on more than one occasion. During this time he was able to use his psychiatric and psychoanalytic knowledge to treat some of the victims. Then, after personal experiences with enforced interrogation, he escaped from a Nazi prison and certain death to England, where he was able, as Chief of the Psychological Department of the Netherlands Forces, to observe and study coercive methods officially. In this capacity he had to investigate not only traitors and collaborators, but also those members of the Resistance who had gone through the utmost of mental pressure. Later, as High Commissioner for Welfare, he came in closer contact with those who had gone through physical and mental torture. After the war, he came to the United States, where his war experiences would not permit him to concentrate solely on his psychiatric practice, but compelled him to go beyond purely medical aspects to the social aspects of the problem. As more and more cases of thought control, brainwashing, and mental coercion were disclosed - Cardinal Mindszenty, Colonel Schwable, Robert Vogeler, and others - his interest grew. It was Dr. Meerloo who coined the word menticide, the killing of the spirit, for this peculiar crime. His knowledge of these totalitarian procedures has been officially acknowledged; he served as an expert witness in the case of Colonel Schwable, the Marine Corps officer who, after months of subjection to physical and mental torture following his capture in Korea, was made to confess to having taken part in germ warfare. It is Dr. Meerloo's position that through pressure on the weak points in men's makeup, totalitarian methods can turn anyone into a "traitor." And in The Rape of the Mind he goes far beyond the direct military implications of mental torture to describing how our own culture unobtrusively shows symptoms of pressurizing people's minds. He presents a systematic analysis of the methods of brainwashing and mental torture and coercion, and shows how totalitarian strategy, with its use of mass psychology, leads to systematized "rape of the mind." He describes the new age of cold war with its mental terror, verbocracy, and semantic fog, the use of fear as a tool of mass submission and the problem of treason and loyalty, so loaded with dangerous confusion. The Rape of the Mind is written for the interested layman, not only for experts and scientists. Contents: Part One: The Techniques of Individual Submission. 1. You Too Would Confess. 2.

SKULL & BONES
The most famous secret society in America, Skull and Bones was co-founded at Yale in 1832 by the father of a future president and has come to signify everything that attracts and repulses the public about "The Elite." Rumor has it that Yale junior class members are tapped for membership each fall by some measure of leadership, influence and breeding.Among the business titans, poets, politicians and three US Presidents that are rumored to be members, we've picked out the honor roll.
Read the Entire Artice: http://www.newworldorderreport.com/News/tabid/266/ID/7132/The-15-Most-Powerful-Members-Of-Skull-And-Bones.aspx
William Howard Taft - Class of 1878
Image: Yale University Archives
Our 27th, and fattest (fun fact), President was known to his college buddies as "Big Lub," and was the first "Bonesman" ever to reach The Oval Office.Frankly, young Mr. Taft would probably had a rather easy time getting into the club...
His father, and one-time Attorney General, Alphonso Taft, co-founded Skull and Bones as a Yale student in 1832.
Amos Alonzo Stagg - Class of 1888
Image: Yale University Archives
Yale's greatest football player of all-time (apologies to Calvin Hill), Stagg practically invented the modern game and is still the only man to be elected into both the Pro Football and Pro Basketball Halls of Fame.It can only be assumed that being the most gifted jock in Yale's history had some bearing on Mr. Stagg's being chosen to join Skull and Bones.
William Averill Harriman - Class of 1913
Image: Yale University Archives
The future Governor of New York and Presidential candidate was clearly a man who liked his time at Yale...Immediately after inheriting the largest fortune in The United States from his railroad baron father upon his graduation, Harriman took a job as Yale's crew coach and stuck around New Haven.
No doubt the man his fellow Bonesmen referred to Averill as "Thor," continued to enjoy himself around town as Yale celebrity before moving on to his many future successes.
Archibald MacLeish - Class of 1915
Image: Yale University Archives
Before living in Paris amongst "The Lost Generation" of Hemingway, Pound and Fitzgerald, while honing a poetic voice that would yield three Pulitzer Prizes, MacLeish was a Yale Graduate and a member of Skull and Bones.It would seem that MacLeish, like most Bonesmen, was chosen less for his brains and more than his connections...
"Archie's" father was an Illinois dry goods dealer, and his mother was a college professor, a rare combination of parentage and geography for the Bonesmen of his day.
Prescott Bush - Class of 1916
Image: Yale University Archives
If you thought "Dubya" was a wild man in his college years, you should have met his grand-daddy.Prescott, the future Senator from Connecticut, was apparently a real "cut-up" who, along with some other Bonesmen, is believed to have dug up and absconded with the skull of the legendary Native American warrior Geronimo during World War I.
Legend has it that Geronimo's head is still inside Skull and Bones HQ, known as "The Tomb," at 64 High Street in New Haven.
Robert Lovett - Class of 1918
Image: Yale University Archives
Harry Truman's Secretary of War and the man whom many have called "The Architect of The Cold War" was the consummate Bonesman insider.Along with sharing a membership timeline with Prescott Bush, Lovett was also friendly with fellow Bonesman Harvey Hollister Bundy, who served with Lovett in Truman's War Cabinet and was the father of future Bonesman McGeorge Bundy.
Henry Luce - Class of 1920
Image: Yale University Archives
The man who went on to found and publish Time Magazine was first an editor of The Yale Daily News. He was also a man that fellow Bonesmen referred to as "Baal," an apparent reference to a mythological, ancient, Aramaic demon. The mind boggles at the implications.
Potter Stewart - Class of 1936
Image: Yale University Archives
The son of a Midwestern Congressman, Stewart went on to be an editor of The Yale Law Review, after being a member of Skull and Bones during his undergraduate days.But it was perhaps much later in life that Mr. Potter was of greatest assistance to Bonesmen of the future...
As an Associate Justice of The Supreme Court in 1965, Mr. Potter wrote a dissent in Griswold v. Connecticut, setting the stage for the future legalization of the sales of contraceptives in The Nutmeg State, no doubt bringing great relief to the young gentlemen inside "The Tomb."
McGeorge Bundy - Class of 1940
Image: Yale University Archives
Before becoming one of JFK's "Wise Men," Bundy was another Bonesman with a long family lineage of getting "Tapped" for the society. But, if the lore surrounding Skull and Bones has any veracity, he was apparently a man with a personality all his own, one that led his pals to nickname him "Odin."
George Herbert Walker Bush - Class of 1948
Image: Skull and Bones Yearbook, 1948
The second ever Bonesman to be elected President, "41" was also a fighter pilot in WWII, Ambassador to "Red China" and Director of the CIA. His training at Skull and Bones must have been invaluable in the career he made out of keeping safe the secrets of state.
William F. Buckley Jr. - Class 0f 1950
Image: LiveJournal
It would have been pretty painful for the man who came to symbolize the most conservative brand of American elitism NOT to have been "Tapped" for Skull and Bones. Luckily, he was, or they would most likely never have heard the end of it.
John F. Kerry - Class of 1966
Image: Yale University Archives
The now senior Senator from Massachusetts was only a college Junior when he was "Tapped" as a Bonesman after a childhood spent abroad with his diplomat father. Kerry's period of membership as an on-campus Bonesman just missed intersecting with a man he would come to challenge for the presidency in 2004..
George W. Bush - Class of 1968
Image: Media Library - Yale Whiffenpoofs
"W" was a man who's family was synonymous with Skull and Bones by the time he arrived on Yale's campus as a Freshman, but it has been whispered that many thought his family would agree to his not being "Tapped" as George was a rather... "distractable" young man. But after joining up with the family club, joining the cheerleading team and generally raising hell, "W" ended up as the third Bonesman to occupy the office of the President.
Stephen A. Schwarzman - Class of 1969
Class photo unavailable
He was tapped only a year behind George W. Bush and came to prominence under the future president's administration when his Blackstone Investments hedge fund group went public in 2007. The SEC filings for Blackstone's IPO revealed that Schwarzman had made an average of $1 million per day for the fiscal year ending in December 2006.
Austan Goolsbee - Class of 1991
Goolsbee represents the newest generation of Bonesman on the list. The Texan-born economist was presumably tapped in 1989 while studying for his BA in Economics and performing with the Yale improve troupe "Just Add Water." At 41, he is one of the youngest Chairmen of The Council of Economic Advisor's in the history of The White House, a building that has been staffed and led by a more than a few members of the society, and one can assume will be for many years to come.

HUNGER GAMES: A TASTE OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER
The Hunger Games is set in world that is exactly what is described to be the New World Order: A rich and powerful elite, an exploited and dumbed-down mass of people, the dissolving of democracies into a police state entities, high-tech surveillance, mass media used for propaganda and a whole lot of blood rituals. There is indeed nothing optimistic in the dystopian future described in The Hunger Games. Even human dignity is revoked as the masses are forced to watch their own children killing each others as if they were caged animals. That being said, there is little to no difference between movie goers who watch the movie The Hunger Games and the masses in the movie that witness the cruelty of the Games. Both are willing participants in an event that portrays the sacrifice of their own under the amused eye of the elite. Furthermore, one can argue that the movie accomplishes the same functions as the Games in the movie: Distracting the masses with blood and sex while reminding it of the elite’s power.
Is The Hunger Games attempting to warn an apathetic youth of the danger of allowing the current system to devolve into a totalitarian nightmare? Or is it simply programming it to perceive the coming of a New World Order as an inevitability? That question is up for debate. But reading what is being said in the mass media about The Hunger Games, it seems there is an even more important question up for debate: Are you Team Peeta or Team Gale?
