I want to start a thread on Subversive Psychological Methods (SPM) to capture minds. These are used to world over in soft overthrows of power. It can be as little a salesman getting someone to buy a useless product, or as big as distorting a whole nations perception of reality to the point where they are no longer able to see an enemy approach and destroy their nation. Hence it's a key weapon in geo-politics.
i.e. the subject population loses their grip on what is important.
My own starting point for this is Griffin's interview with ex-KGB agent Yuri Bezmenov.

There should be better starting points out there. The manual that came out with the University of East Anglia FOIA( climate gate ) was an introduction to mass - psychological subversion manual.
It's possible we have a resident expereince on this subject. Dorlomin says he's ex-military, and the way he conducts himself on this forum suggest he might be able to say a few things about SPM and his own SPM training, aslong as his miltary contract doesn't forbid him to disclose.
I hope me and Dor can set aside our differences and help co-create a productive thread here.
Hopefully we can all learn something. Ultimately we can all teach ourselves to be savy with SPM, and be able to spot it going on in the world, and the braodcast media, and to resist it!
I suspect the media the whole world over can be modeled as a churning pot of SPM. With anglo-american mass media the main ingredient in controling the mass's minds.
So, looking for introductions 1st. Webster tarpley recommends 'Low intensity operations: subversion, insurgency, peacekeeping', by Frank Kitson. But some say it's a drag to read.
