1. The strategy of distraction: The primary element of social control
is the strategy of distraction which is to divert public attention from
important issues and changes determined by the political and economic
elites, by the technique of flood or flooding continuous distractions
and insignificant information. Distraction strategy is also essential to
prevent the public interest in the essential knowledge in the area of
the science, economics, psychology, neurobiology and cybernetics. Quote
from text Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars: “Maintaining public attention
diverted away from the real social problems, captivated by matters of no
real importance. Keep the public busy, busy, busy, no time to think,
back to farm and other animals”.
2. Create problems, then offer solutions: This method is also called
“problem -reaction- solution.” It creates a problem, a “situation”
referred to cause some reaction in the audience, so this is the
principal of the steps that you want to accept. For example: Let it
unfold and intensify urban violence, or arrange for bloody attacks in
order that the public is the applicant’s security laws and policies to
the detriment of freedom; Or create an economic crisis to accept as a
necessary evil retreat of social rights and the dismantling of public
services.
3. The gradual strategy: Acceptance to an unacceptable degree, just
apply it gradually, dropper, for consecutive years. That is how they
radically new socioeconomic conditions (neoliberalism) were imposed
during the 1980s and 1990s: • the minimal state • privatization •
precariousness • flexibility • massive unemployment • wages • do not
guarantee a decent income, ...so many changes that have brought about a
revolution, if they had been applied once.
4. The strategy of deferring: Another way to accept an unpopular
decision is to present it as “painful and necessary”, gaining public
acceptance, at the time for future application. It is easier to accept
that a future sacrifice of immediate slaughter: First, because the
effort is not used immediately Then, because the public, masses, is
always the tendency to expect naively that “everything will be better
tomorrow” and that the sacrifice required may be avoided This gives the
public more time to get used to the idea of change and accept it with
resignation when the time comes.
5. Go to the public as a little child: Most of the advertising to the
general public uses speech, argument, people and particularly children’s
intonation, often close to the weakness, as if the viewer were a little
child or a mentally deficient. The harder one tries to deceive the
viewer look, the more it tends to adopt a tone infantilizing. Why? (see
Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars) “If one goes to a person as if she had
the age of 12 years or less, then, because of suggestion, she tends with
a certain probability that a response or reaction also devoid of a
critical sense as a person 12 years or younger.”
6. Use the emotional side more than the reflection: Making use of the
emotional aspect is a classic technique for causing a short circuit on
rational analysis, and finally to the critical sense of the individual.
Furthermore, the use of emotional register to open the door to the
unconscious for implantation or grafting ideas, desires, fears and
anxieties, compulsions, or induce behaviors…
7. Keep the public in ignorance and mediocrity: Making the public
incapable of understanding the technologies and methods used to control
and enslavement. How? (see Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars) “The quality
of education given to the lower social classes must be the poor and
mediocre as possible so that the gap of ignorance it plans among the
lower classes and upper classes is and remains impossible to attain for
the lower classes.”
8. To encourage the public to be complacent with mediocrity: Promote
the public to believe that the fact is fashionable to be stupid, vulgar
and uneducated…
9. Self-blame Strengthen: To let individual blame for their misfortune,
because of the failure of their intelligence, their abilities, or their
efforts. So, instead of rebelling against the economic system, the
individual auto-devaluate and guilt himself, which creates a depression,
one of whose effects is to inhibit its action. And, without action,
there is no revolution!
10. Getting to know the individuals better than they know themselves:
Over the past 50 years, advances of accelerated science has generated a
growing gap between public knowledge and those owned and operated by
dominant elites. Thanks to biology, neurobiology and applied psychology,
the “system” has enjoyed a sophisticated understanding of human beings,
both physically and psychologically. The system has gotten better
acquainted with the common man more than he knows himself. This means
that, in most cases, the system exerts greater control and great power
over individuals, greater than that of individuals about themselves.
