I mass hypnosis brought on by grief possible?

I saw something about it on the odd couple show, I believe Felix was considered dead and they heard some honking going on.

It’s possible that homogenous behaviors (e.g., expressing grief) occuring in "mass" may have to do with group dynamics. Perhaps research on herd mentality may be helpful in answering your question.

Do you think the government practices "social engineering" in underhanded ways?

I was just thinking about how dumb Americans were.

Ever since America went to a volunteer armed forces system, jobs have been leaving the country in droves. Now, for all the ranting against welfare and paying people a decent wage, funny enough, the military offers free health care, free or subsidized housing, free and discounted meals and groceries and basically cash money to spend at your leisure. This is for the military, a huge entity that largely contributes nothing for the American economy, but rather takes.

If those jobs were still in America, the volunteer system wouldn’t work. Because the jobs mysteriously have been outsourced, basically, many men and women are forced to join to have a decent life. How is this different from welfare? It’s actually worse! I hate to break it to you youngsters on here, but our military is not a self-defense force! Don’t pull that argument!

Also, look at the problem with Japan. The birth rate there has plummeted so badly, they are having to consider importing foreign labor. They are not as open to foreigners like the West.

Now look at America, Britain and Australia, like that. We actually reward single mothers for having kids. Don’t you think that is deliberate? Now, not only do you have all the good jobs being outsourced, the government encourages poor women to have kids to survive. What are these children going to do when they grow up?

Join the Army. That’s underhanded social engineering at work.

No… because there is nothing underhanded about it. Been going on for decades. The best way to have control over someone is to make them dependent on you. Eventually absolute dependence gives absolute control.

Chose of front line in 37F Psychological Operations Specialist?

I’ve read different things about this MOS. Do I have to see combat in this? Do I get a choice of whether or not I want to go tactical?

If you’re active-duty, chances are very good that you’ll deploy, and soon after you finish training. As for Infantry-type combat, you could see a firefight for sure, but that’s not really your job. You’ll probably be working closely with SF and other SpecOps units, delivering "product" and doing loudspeaker broadcasts. It’s hard to say, because every BN has a different job, depending on where they are deployed to. Fact is, when you are in Afghanistan, it doesn’t matter what your MOS is, you can get caught up in a battle easily. IED’s are a big problem, too. If you’re worried about combat, I wouldn’t join the Army, and no offense meant by that either.

I was a 37F, and everyone of us deployed – most to Afghanistan, but a good many to Iraq. As for the reserve units under USACAPOC, they deploy less, but there is still a good chance of being deployed. This MOS, along with Civil Affairs, is a much-needed MOS at this point. You should also investigate Civil Affairs MOS.

As for tactical PSYOP, it’s actually pretty tough to get into. Tactical PSYOP is performed by 9th Battalion, 4th POG. You need good scores on your coursework, and you need to max the APFT. Not too many people are sent to 9th BN, and you don’t get to choose where you are sent. Your instructors will know you all very well, and they kind of let the command know who should go where. From my class, only two guys went to 9th BN.

All in all, it’s a pretty damned good MOS, but I think if I did it over, I would have a tough time between chossing this and Infantry.

what would i do if i got a job with the army psyops?

what would be a good example of a basic day, or things i would learn.

They do all sorts of weird stuff. They print fliers, they have vehicles with audio tapes hooked up to speaker systems, some have sounds like an infant crying (this CAN mess with your head), tanks moving in force, wolf howls, propaganda messages. Their job is to demoralize the enemy as much as possible. I have seen them at work in training and deployed.

Is Religion Mass Hypnosis and suggestion?

Oppinions from psychologists and Hypnotists or at least people with knowledge of suggestion and linguistics.

Religion is just a bunch brainwashing cults finding ways for you to die for them, fight for them, give them money

Is there a college degree called Social Engineering?

Thinking about re-patterning your society?Social Engineering maybe the answer. Somebody should add this up in the curriculum of schools.

There are no university majors by the name of social engineering. Essentially, I see the dry humor in your statement.

Would you know if you were living in a Police State?

What does that term ‘Police State’ mean to you? What images does it conjure? Now think, are any of those things happening now? Is there anything in that image that you’d strongly object to if it DID happen? Would you object on principle, or only if it affected you personally? Are there any rights/freedoms you’d give up to feel safer?

Believe it or not its true, we have more cctv cameras watching us than any other country in the world, yes, the world!! doesnt make anyone feel safe, does allow the authorities to watch us though, we are in a culture now(thanx labour) where you get fined for anything at all, from smoking to putting microchips on your wheelie bin and if youve not moved it you get fined(true) they want to force id cards next and they even have bank details with how much you have on(true) there are many many more "big brother" operations already in place under labour im afraid, Lenin did exactly the same thing by the way? we are already in a police state, wake up!

Is joining the Army as a 37F Psychological Operations Specialist a decent ranking?

I have no prior military experience, but I do have a college degree. Is it about average to start as an E4?
Hmmm…well I know I am naive and all, but that’s what the told me I’d be. I have it in writing.

It’s not average to start as a E-4. Starting as a trainee is average so that’s 4 steps better.

Are there any jobs similar to PSYOPS that don’t involve joining the military?

i’m wondering because i’m very interested in doing a job like this. i am currently a psychology major and it seems like a job that i would be good at. as much as i’d love to sit in a cozy office all day helping people with their problems, i’d rather do something a little more exciting.

Yes. All of the COCOMs (geographic Combatant Commands) have what are called Information Operations (IO) departments. These are responsible for what were formerly known as PSYOPs. Your qualifications need to be excellent in order to override the requirements for a TS/SCI:

LINK: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._security_clearance_terms

Unless you want to deploy, you will need a TS/SCI in this field. Deployment might only require a SECRET, since the tactical environment means you will be less engaged in national-level assets.

PSYOPs no longer exists in DOD vernacular. If you want to get into "IO", my recommendation would be to find someone in the field or post your resume to contractors who service SOCOM or CENTCOM (the coordinator and the executor, respectively, for the GWOT). These include Northrup Grumman, MANTECH, L3, SAIC, and others.

Typically, a TS/SCI clearance costs the government 60k+. While the government will absorb most of this, a contracting company will try to weasel you out of most of it in your contract. If you negotiate an initial contract based on no clearance, ensure that a stipulation exists IN WRITING that once you attain TS/SCI that you will get into a different pay band. With your background and with the (approved) SCI clearance, expect to make around 100k. Multiply that by 2 if you want to deploy.

Thanksgiving Day we give thanks to God

The Thanksgiving holiday in the United States is a day set aside for Americans to give thanks to God for all our blessings. So why do atheist celebrate this day or how can they?

It is a day in recognition when the Pilgrims celebrated their blessings in the New World in the early 1600′s. Then in 1777 the Continental Congress issued a Thanksgiving proclamation. Here is part of that proclamation:

“FOR AS MUCH as it is the indispensable Duty of all Men to adore the superintending Providence of Almighty God; to acknowledge with Gratitude their Obligation to him for Benefits received, and to implore such farther Blessings as they stand in Need of:”

They mentioned God? Did they not know of the hallucinated establishment clause? Perhaps not as the proclamation was written ten years before the Constitutional Convention.

Then in 1789 the first president of the United States, George Washington also issued a Thanksgiving proclamation. In part:

“Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor – and Whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me ‘to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.’”

How can George Washington claim ignorance of the establishment clause when he was one of the 55 delegates to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787? Perhaps further proof the establishment clause is a hallucinated clause.

In 1863 President Abraham Lincoln also issued a Thanksgiving proclamation, in part:

“No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy.”

Another president who also ignored the hallucinated establishment clause. Along with every president since President Lincoln to have issued Thanksgiving proclamations.

This video is to illustrate how God and Thanksgiving are both intertwined in this national holiday. It is a day Americans of all faiths reflect upon their blessings and give thanks to God for them. All though the political leftist have been trying to expunge any mention of God from the public square, they would be hard pressed to do so with this national holiday.
