How mind control discourages freedom of thought

I have already begun to touch upon how freedom of thought would be limited in the previous section. Reiterating a previous quote from BR: “Joanna Kadi writes: Child sexual abuse teaches us lessons about power- who has it and who doesn’t. These lessons, experienced on a bodily level, transfer into the deepest levels of our conscious and subconscious being, and correspond with other oppressive systems. Widespread child sexual abuse supports a racist, sexist, classist and atheist society that attempts to train citizens into docility and unthinking acceptance of whatever the government and big business deem fit to hand out (Kadi, 73).”

“…ritual abuse groups may share the following characteristics with coercive cults: … dogma is more important than people, … a radical separation of good and evil, … a demand for purity,” members are watched all the time and their loyalty is tested “… the dogma is enacted through rituals, … regularly observe(d) rituals, rituals frequently invoke supernatural intervention, … staged events such as planned spontaneity… mystical manipulations, cults capitalize on members’ fear and ignorance, … a sense of separateness (is promoted) through an “us” and “them” mentality, … siege mentality with a paranoid view of the outside world, humor is forbidden, resistance of members is worn down through physical and emotional manipulations, a person’s identity is destroyed… to create a new one,” members give up their autonomy to be approved,” mind control is used to indoctrinate the victim into the group’s belief system, individuality is uniformly suppressed,… a well-defined hierarchy,” members are used to benefit leader(s), “mind control is used … to convert the victim to the group’s belief system, … to insure secrecy… and to carry out cult instructions.”(”Safe Passage to Healing” – p 47 – 48) “Safe Passage to Healing – A Guide for Survivors of Ritual Abuse” Chrystine Oksana, HarperCollins, c 1994 a newer edition in now available from backinprint.com

Cult techniques have been well documented to control thought. Ritual abuse is a combination of cult techniques and severe child abuse. A survivor’s decreased mental capacity and organic brain damage due to the abuse may inhibit a survivor’s ability to make choices and to see choices, thereby inhibiting freedom of thought. An unrecovered survivor may be even more likely than the brainwashed general populace to follow the media and its instructions in terms of day-to-day political beliefs. The recovered survivor will obviously be much more cynical of the government and therefore much more likely to analyze its lies and propaganda and find their own reality. As mentioned previously, fear may cause a survivor’s silence, this could also cause a survivor to follow the acceptable social mores and beliefs, even if these are at times sociopathic and genocidal, thereby limiting a survivor’s freedom of thought. More research is needed on this topic, but I feel a case has been to back up the postulation that ritual abuse has very serious political implications in our society and in the world at large.
