I. INTRODUCTION
Definition. Brainwashing is the systematic, and always violent, but not always conscious, distortion or conditioning of the mind of a person for selfish or other harmful purposes using operant conditioning. I will just introduce this large topic. It is not the same as hypnosis, as explained later in this article.
I suggest that everyone rent or view the movie, The Manchurian Candidate (1962) starring Angela Lansbury. It will teach you a lot about brainwashing, and about how our world really works today.
There is also an excellent older film about a Russian KGB training camp for young women. I do not recall the film’s name.
Reasons to learn about brainwashing are:
- This is what is happening to your children if they go to school. It is a critical reason to educate children at home today, if at all possible. For more problems with the school system, please read The School System.
- This is also what occurs at almost all colleges today. It is a critical reason to stay away from most colleges, even religious ones, especially for women. Much better to go to college on line, if needed. For more, read The College Trap on this site.
- This is what occurs in many dating situations. It can be especially harmful for teenagers and young women in their twenties. For details, read the Dating and Rape articles.
II. COMMON EXAMPLES OF BRAINWASHING
Prisoners. In a prison setting, one person has all the power and often a lethal weapon, while the other person is locked up and perhaps starving. Brainwashing is very easy under these conditions.
Juries. Some attorneys and even judges are quite adept at manipulating the minds of the jurors. The way this is done is:
1) The attorney disqualifies and gets rid of all prospective jurors who seem to have a mind of their own and would be uncooperative
2) Specific words, phrases and actions are used during the trial to condition the jurors
3) During the closing arguments, just before the jury goes in to deliberate the case, the attorney will return to his cue words or themes to reinforce the brainwashing he has hopefully done on the jury.
4) Later, when the jury is deliberating behind closed doors, some jurors may find, for instance, that they just cannot return a guilty verdict because it makes them strangely uncomfortable, even if the facts are clear. They do not realize they have been conditioned or brainwashed during the trial by a skillful defense lawyer who has, with his voice, or his look, or something else, associated stress or pain with a verdict of guilty.
5) Skillful attorneys and even judges can even sometimes hypnotize and brainwash witnesses, policemen, and others involved in the case by planting false evidence and hundreds of other tactics.
This fine art is practiced all of the time by slick attorneys and even some judges. To prevent it, the practice of allowing attorneys to throw out jurors they don’t like must be stopped immediately. It is often the only safeguard. Televising the trial is helpful, too, as the attorneys may be caught in the act so they may tone down their rhetoric.
Bureaucrats and bosses. These people can often condition employees or those under them using standard brainwashing methods. Here no one is locked up or facing starvation.
However, the victim is the one who wants to keep his or her job, so the bureaucrat can often easily employ a reward and punishment system to control the lower level person’s behavior. It can be as simple as giving promotions to those who “cooperate”, or it can involve subtle intimidation, threats of censure, giving the best assignments to those who cooperate, and so on.
Bureaucrats also often do this to their clients or customers. An important advantage of a capitalist economy over a socialist, bureaucratic economy is that the customer has more choices. This way, if a customer feels he has been treated badly, he simply patronizes someone else.
This tends to greatly reduce the power of the bosses and bureaucrats to mistreat clients. In socialist nations, the people have no other choice than the government health care, welfare, food stamp programs, so abuse is rampant.
Reversal. Now and then, the underlings, employees, and even customers learn how to brainwash the boss, the store owner or their leaders, with skillful use of the same techniques. This definitely occurs, as well.
Parents and Children. Children are very dependent upon their parents, so they make easy targets of brainwashing. In fact, some of the worst hypnosis and brainwashing occurs in families. It varies in severity and might just be simple conditioning of the child to act or speak in certain ways. Too often, it is far worse and involves beating, humiliating, embarrassing, and raping children at a young age. This is especially the case in Russia and the Middle Eastern nations.
At times, clever children turn the tables and effectively train their parents to do exactly as they child wishes by throwing temper tantrums and other tactics. Such children often have a hard time as adults because adults are harder to manipulate using temper tantrums.
Students. Grading, special favors, put-downs and other methods are used in most schools to punish and reward certain behaviors and ideas. The horrendous effects often last a lifetime.
Millions learn in school, for example, that they are inferior, stupid, incompetent, untalented, uncoordinated, ugly and failures thanks to careless or intentional brainwashing by teachers who are usually themselves brainwashed.
Students also learn not to be creative, not to question authority, not to do things differently from the accepted way, and so on in most schools today. Secretly, they fear punishment and humiliation that occurred when they were in school years before. That is how effective the “training” is in most schools.
This is why some people never learn much as adults. Schooling has been associated with pain and suffering. This syndrome affects millions around the world and stunts their intellectual growth. It is why home schooling and learning from computers, while perhaps unorthodox, is often much better.
At the professional level, this problem commonly causes doctors, attorneys, counselors and others to develop a narrow-minded, and often cynical outlook and a stern resistance to learning new ideas and new techniques such as nutritional balancing science.
Doctors. Doctors often brainwash their patients. The patient (note the word patient) is at a great disadvantage because he or she is often in pain, frightened, does not understand illness, and does not understand medical lingo that is designed to sound mystical and complex. Why else call joint pain “arthritis”, or call heartburn “GERD” (gastric esophageal reflux disease)?
Many doctors take advantage of this to reward patients who “comply” and punish those who ask too many questions or who do not follow orders.
A few patients know how to manipulate their doctor to get more drugs or more operations. So it can work both ways, but usually the patients lose.
Politicians. Politicians routinely brainwash their constituents. They do this by acting in confusing and conflicting ways to create stress. Then they reward those who vote for them with money or other perks such as construction contracts. Politicians such as Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin and Mao Tze Tung were masters at using violence, threats of violence, well-chosen words, and rewards for the loyal ones to control huge numbers of people in really quite amazing ways.
Men and women. Brainwashing occurs all the time in the sexual and relationship areas. A separate section below discusses sexual aspects of brainwashing.
Even pets can brainwash their masters. While primitive, the animals devise crude means of rewarding or punishing the owner of the animal so the animal can get what it wants when it wants it.
Pet owners often think it is “cute” and go along, just as many people think that a child’s temper tantrums are sort of cute. Sadly, some women think that a man who begs, pleads, threatens and even perhaps rapes her is somehow “cute” and endearing because he “really loves her”. This is rather depraved, but one hears it from time to time.
Another common example of brainwashing is done to children by their parents. The parents will nag, badger, punish, reward and otherwise upset the child to do certain things the parent wants such as clean up their room. This combination of techniques is actually a form of brainwashing. It is often done in an intentionally confusing way designed to upset a child. It would be much better for the child to just say “You will not leave the house until your room is clean”. Sadly, many parents, however, prefer to confuse, intimidate, and thus weaken their child’s mental acuity instead of dealing directly with the child when there is a problem or issue at home.
In a similar way, teachers and doctors intimidate and confuse their students and patients, employers do it to employees, and politicians do it all the time to the voters and constituents. In other words, they do not speak directly, but threaten, intimidate, lie, hint at, and do other things to basically torture the minds of others in an effort to exert control over them.
Reversal. Occasionally, a child, a woman, or an employee is able to “turn the tables” and intimidate back against the person in power. This is quite interesting, but it does not happen often. It is most common among children, some of whom become experts at manipulating their parents to get exactly what they want. In these cases, both child and parent are the losers, as both are engaged in brainwashing.
More serious mass brainwashing. The brainwashing described above is bad enough. However, some is worse, carefully orchestrated by very sinister individuals and groups that exist throughout the world and who have billions or trillions of dollars at their disposal. A well-known example is Mr. George Soros, who I believe is a man of this type. He has several hundred media organizations and has spent countless millions of dollars to buy influence with the major media, according to a recent news story on television. He implants suggestions, intimidates his foes, lies about his enemies and his intentions, and confuses the heck out of his readers and listeners with half-truths and exaggerations. If one is not aware of how brainwashing works, it is hard to escape the grip of his media empire.
Dictators, by the way, often do this to their entire population by controlling all the television and other media, broadcasting lies and confusion, and worse by systematically starving, beating, raping and otherwise oppressing the people until they give up the fight and act just the way the leaders want them to. This situation probably affects half of the population of the earth at this time.
Another group that does this in a more sinister way are many gurus, and cult leaders, including religious leaders around the world. Their methods can be quite subtle and almost impossible to detect unless one has a firm grip on reality and can catch them in their lies and their methods of twisting the truth.
While it occurs across the political spectrum, today liberals and leftists in America and Europe are among those who understand these techniques the best. Many have been traumatized by it themselves as children, and they seem to understand how to do it to others. They target the young and the uneducated, and constantly love to stir up trouble to further their own ends.
Sinister groups often use environmental issues, for example, to stir up and frighten people. Then they use these same gullible types to further their own usually socialist and communist agendas. It does not matter that the behaviors they seek have little to do with environmental problems.
Those behind the scenes have no scruples, are extremely angry underneath their smiles, are totally cynical and power hungry in most cases, and will say or do anything to stay in power and to confuse, upset and therefore subtly torture their populations in an effort to control them, use them and vampirize them, meaning steal some energy from them. Many have done it for so long they have little idea of the harm they do or how they do it. Yet these are among the most effective brainwashers.
If you try to make sense of their arguments, you will become confused, and that is the intent. If you try to argue with them, you will lose or become frustrated, and again that is the intent. Their logic is not sound, but they are usually very glib and intellectually so brilliant and convincing, that average people who listen to them do not stand a chance of learning the truth.
The brainwashers mix little lies that change the meaning of words and ideas, and these are very hard to detect for anyone except one thoroughly trained in this subject or one who has an excellent coach to check every statement the brainwashers make. They will torture and twist a person until the person agrees, and then the person is rewarded in subtle ways and they are hooked, unless they can be deprogrammed, literally, by another force of greater magnitude. This is how brainwashing works in everyday society. The only defense is a very common sense approach to life that sends up red flags at any unusual statements and just tunes them out.
I realize this is very different from the type of brainwashing many read about that takes place in prisoner of war camps and similar situations. In these places, actual torture is used to break a person’s will and force the acceptance of foreign and untrue ideas. Every means of physical, sexual, mental and emotional torture is used to destroy the will of another person. Women and men are raped repeatedly, burned, prodded and so on. This horrible violence is used by every spy organization on the planet, including the CiA and the KGB, to train assassins, sex slaves, traitors and spies.
However, a more subtle problem is not this obvious brainwashing, which is bad enough. The real problem in modern society is the common, everyday, subtle, sweet-sounding brainwashing that goes on daily in the media, politics, families, and everywhere else in all human societies.
IV. THE BRAINWASHING PROCESS
1. Brainwashing requires an operator and a victim. The operator is an authority figure or the person in charge of the situation. The operator must act in certain ways upon the victim, who by definition is not in control and not in authority.
In other words, brainwashing cannot occur between two equal in power. If they are equal, then brainwashing will only occur if one of the people convinces the other that he or she is a victim and must do as the first person directs.
This means if you can stop being a victim, brainwashing often stops working. It is a key to avoiding brainwashing, though it is often done so subtly that one hardly realized it.
2. It helps if the victim is unaware of the process of brainwashing. In other words, it is much more difficult to brainwash someone who knows what you are trying to do. This is why soldiers are often trained in brainwashing tactics, so at least when they are captured and forced to do odd things they will know why it is so and it may help them resist, though certainly not always.
I have read, for example, that some American soldiers undergo a little torture to train them what it is like to be brainwashed. The hope is that it will help them learn to handle it better and avoid their giving in too easily.
3. An important step in brainwashing is the operator applies some kind of stress, such as pain, on the victim. This may go on for a few minutes or it can be done slowly for years to achieve the desired outcome. The word pain or stress can be of many types, such as:
Ø Actual physical violence or pain. This is used in cults, prisons, rapes, and other common situations. Torture is “standard practice” in some nations if a person is arrested, for example, and the captors need a confession or are just in the mood for some fun with the female victim.
Methods include rape, one of the best to condition a person, or starvation, or inflicting loss by knocking out teeth, cutting off a finger, or painful sodomy that ruins the anal sphincter for life. Generally, women are raped in front, while men are raped in back, although both men and women are often “penis-whipped”.
Other common methods are freezing a person, depriving a person of sleep or water, forcing a person to eat feces, dirt or pieces of glass, removing all the clothing and beating the person, especially the genital organs. Still other common methods are defecating or urinating on a person, letting rats, mosquitos or other animals bite the person until they bleed all over, applying electrical shocks to the body, pulling hard, stretching or even pulling off limbs or other parts of the body, burning the person with matches or a soldering iron, especially in the private parts, hanging a person upside down naked, shooting off guns right near a person, inflicting stabbing or other wounds, shining lights in the eyes, forcing a person to swallow knives or spoons, pouring scalding water in the mouth or elsewhere, or other tortures.
Ø Emotional violence or pain. This includes just stripping a person’s clothing off and staring or photographing the person, yelling at a person who is held captive, spitting, insulting, humiliating or just confusing another person. These methods are also used commonly in some cults.
Ø Mental torture, which involves threats, intimidation, confusion, embarrassment, deception and/or lying. This may not seem as violent as beating or raping a person, but it can be every bit as bad in some ways. For example, parents often lie to their children and their spouses, teachers lie, confuse and embarrass students with odd requests and punishments, corrupt politicians routinely lie with a smile while secretly oppressing the people, and salesmen and advertisers often lie or tell half truths to their customers. It can be done with words, body language, body size, and other subtle means.
4. Applying the stress of torture reduces the victim’s adaptive energy or vitality level. This is a must for all successful brainwashing. In other words, for the torture to be effective, it must upset a person’s life at deeper levels, not just at a superficial level. To resist brain washing, by the way, is to keep the torture at a superficial level so the mind stays focused and functioning well.
5. At the same time, it is important that the operator reassures the victim that all is well, the person is acting normally, don’t worry about anything, and similar ideas.
This is all a lie, of course, and it further confuses the victim. But it is helpful so the person will not suspect what is really going on – namely, the slow destruction of the mind and perhaps the body.
6. The stress or torture must be made horrible, disgusting, humiliating or embarrassing in some way. The reason is that for the brainwashing to last, the person must not be able to easily bring up and process the event or stress or torture.
This is a big reason why rape is an excellent tool for brainwashing. It is quite filthy, disgusting and humiliating. Rapists often make it moreso by forcing the person to undress completely, lie on dirt or in filth, spit and urinate on the person, and much more.
The person just wants to forget it as fast as possible, and usually minimizes it. This is okay, but makes it impossible to fully retrace and process the event, and as a result the person never fully heals from a rape.
7. Ideally, the torture or stress should cause brain damage that affects memory and cognitive or processing ability. The reason is the same as above – it makes it very difficult for the person to retrace and process the event. As a result, the brainwashing lasts a long time.
8. Another key is that the person experience some pleasure during the process. If the experience is purely negative, it actually has less impact on a person. This is another reason why rape of a woman is very effective for brainwashing. It does not work as well for a man because men do not experience the same pleasure from sex as do women.
Mixing some pleasure with the pain also further confuses the person and keeps some souls present for the attack, which is helpful for brainwashing. This keeps the person conscious, which is also needed for some brainwashing.
9. At some point, a reversal takes place in the mind of the victim. This is the real key to brainwashing. In order to better endure or relieve the pain or stress, the victim decides it is not worth fighting the operator. This is a crucial step in all brainwashing. This point is usually reached early in the process, but it could take a few years to occur depending on the person involved and the type of torture.
For example, in school situations, it usually takes the public school system about five years (about fifth grade) before a bright, loving child is turned into a little parrot who does only what the teacher wants, does not think creatively, and becomes scared or ashamed of thinking differently than the operators, teachers and administrators want them to.

3. An important step in brainwashing is the operator applies some kind of stress, such as pain, on the victim. This may go on for a few minutes or it can be done slowly for years to achieve the desired outcome. The word pain or stress can be of many types, such as:
Ø Actual physical violence or pain. This is used in cults, prisons, rapes, and other common situations. Torture is “standard practice” in some nations if a person is arrested, for example, and the captors need a confession or are just in the mood for some fun with the female victim.
Methods include rape, one of the best to condition a person, or starvation, or inflicting loss by knocking out teeth, cutting off a finger, or painful sodomy that ruins the anal sphincter for life. Generally, women are raped in front, while men are raped in back, although both men and women are often “penis-whipped”.
Other common methods are freezing a person, depriving a person of sleep or water, forcing a person to eat feces, dirt or pieces of glass, removing all the clothing and beating the person, especially the genital organs. Still other common methods are defecating or urinating on a person, letting rats, mosquitos or other animals bite the person until they bleed all over, applying electrical shocks to the body, pulling hard, stretching or even pulling off limbs or other parts of the body, burning the person with matches or a soldering iron, especially in the private parts, hanging a person upside down naked, shooting off guns right near a person, inflicting stabbing or other wounds, shining lights in the eyes, forcing a person to swallow knives or spoons, pouring scalding water in the mouth or elsewhere, or other tortures.
Ø Emotional violence or pain. This includes just stripping a person’s clothing off and staring or photographing the person, yelling at a person who is held captive, spitting, insulting, humiliating or just confusing another person. These methods are also used commonly in some cults.
Ø Mental torture, which involves threats, intimidation, confusion, embarrassment, deception and/or lying. This may not seem as violent as beating or raping a person, but it can be every bit as bad in some ways. For example, parents often lie to their children and their spouses, teachers lie, confuse and embarrass students with odd requests and punishments, corrupt politicians routinely lie with a smile while secretly oppressing the people, and salesmen and advertisers often lie or tell half truths to their customers. It can be done with words, body language, body size, and other subtle means.
4. Applying the stress of torture reduces the victim’s adaptive energy or vitality level. This is a must for all successful brainwashing. In other words, for the torture to be effective, it must upset a person’s life at deeper levels, not just at a superficial level. To resist brain washing, by the way, is to keep the torture at a superficial level so the mind stays focused and functioning well.
5. At the same time, it is important that the operator reassures the victim that all is well, the person is acting normally, don’t worry about anything, and similar ideas.
This is all a lie, of course, and it further confuses the victim. But it is helpful so the person will not suspect what is really going on – namely, the slow destruction of the mind and perhaps the body.
6. The stress or torture must be made horrible, disgusting, humiliating or embarrassing in some way. The reason is that for the brainwashing to last, the person must not be able to easily bring up and process the event or stress or torture.
This is a big reason why rape is an excellent tool for brainwashing. It is quite filthy, disgusting and humiliating. Rapists often make it moreso by forcing the person to undress completely, lie on dirt or in filth, spit and urinate on the person, and much more.
The person just wants to forget it as fast as possible, and usually minimizes it. This is okay, but makes it impossible to fully retrace and process the event, and as a result the person never fully heals from a rape.
7. Ideally, the torture or stress should cause brain damage that affects memory and cognitive or processing ability. The reason is the same as above – it makes it very difficult for the person to retrace and process the event. As a result, the brainwashing lasts a long time.
8. Another key is that the person experience some pleasure during the process. If the experience is purely negative, it actually has less impact on a person. This is another reason why rape of a woman is very effective for brainwashing. It does not work as well for a man because men do not experience the same pleasure from sex as do women.
Mixing some pleasure with the pain also further confuses the person and keeps some souls present for the attack, which is helpful for brainwashing. This keeps the person conscious, which is also needed for some brainwashing.
9. At some point, a reversal takes place in the mind of the victim. This is the real key to brainwashing. In order to better endure or relieve the pain or stress, the victim decides it is not worth fighting the operator. This is a crucial step in all brainwashing. This point is usually reached early in the process, but it could take a few years to occur depending on the person involved and the type of torture.
For example, in school situations, it usually takes the public school system about five years (about fifth grade) before a bright, loving child is turned into a little parrot who does only what the teacher wants, does not think creatively, and becomes scared or ashamed of thinking differently than the operators, teachers and administrators want them to.
