Panic at the Insanity Factory - 12-21-2007, 02:20 AM

Socio-phenomenology:

Caveat

Aviso

Popular Delusions & The Madness of Crowds:

CONFORMIST, DESTRUCTIVE GROUP AGGRESSION

A Public Secret.

The following documentary occurrence of what the Advanced Intersection Studies (A.I.S.) researchers knew about the behavior of crowds, long before the example that is presented here.

A true and relatively recent incident that proves the potential behavior modification, operant conditioning, crowd control and social engineering possibilities inherent to manipulating the largest number of people for the longest period of time.
-------------------------------------

Documented story of a retired New York City woman vacationing as a tourist in Guatemala, follows: An event that occurred in the mid-late '80s. Recorded by an amateur videographer; aired (twice) on network TV (DATELINE) in late '97 and early '98 - known to millions of viewing Americans.

When Unfounded Rumorial Fiction Is More Powerful Than Proven Fact

A middle-aged American tourist woman (passing through a small Guatemalan village) was falsely accused - by power of rumor - to have been seen throwing a small boy who was recently reported to be missing, into the trunk of her automobile.

A crowd pursued her to a local police station. The rumor ballooned to 'her motive' for abducting children - that she sold body parts to corrupt, wealthy medical authorities.

The pursuing crowd cried out for her blood, as she retreated in abject terror to the sanctuary of the small village's police station.

The mother of the reported missing child - a little boy - found him; appeared in the crowd, and held him up for all to see: that it was all a terrible mistake and a false alarm. He had been found; playing with his toddler friends, and unharmed.

The crowd was made completely aware of this, by the child's mother - holding him up for all to see.

After this unexpected and happy resolution, the crowd went on to overwhelm the local police station officers (who fired shots in air but refused to fire on the crowd), without seriously harming them. Then, commencing to breach the jail house sanctuary of protective custody, and beat the woman into unconsciousness and a permanent coma, with lumber scraps of 2 x 4's.

The videotape shows the assailants walking past the camera, while unremorsefully, angrily and defiantly throwing the wielded 2 x 4 clubs to the ground.

This is a completely documented, recently proven case of controllably predictable, crowd/ group behavior. Where the patently proven truth is proven to be completely overwhelmed by an adequately disturbing, demonically inspiring false accusation. The power of the emptily spoken word, over patently confirmed reality.

A Social Celebration ('Only Human Nature') In Guatemala, continued:

The conclusively empty accusation being so demonic; the hatred incited crowd having been programmed with that morbidity; having been likewise programmed to project same on a completely irrelevant target (of opportunity): furthermore having it proven to them that the heinous charges are patently false: still going on to carry out its individual and collective destructive-aggression, anyway.

The patently false, demonizing accusation, proving to be larger than any absolute evidence of exoneration. The defiant, self defending and maintaining, socially acceptable, completely and normally understandable, easily understood conquest of reason itself.

A documentary model of a social dynamic where Reason isn't safe. When the proven, monstrously false accusation, is more powerful than the patently established truth.

WE CAN'T ALL BE WRONG, continued:

When this crowd dispersed and went home; after the passage of a few days, each participant was individually interviewed about who was responsible for this atrocity.

Every participant, consistently and uniformly denied any responsibility. Showing no remorse. Some of these insisting, (knowing the subjected child was discovered elsewhere, and unharmed) that ‘justice was done’...

Slide Rule Of The Death Merchants. A Rewarding - investment worthy - Margin Of Profit.

Conclusion: When everyone is guilty, no one is guilty (refer, Algebra, when applied to morality):

(Moral algebra: two negatives combined equal a positive product - The gnu Orwellean Math)

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

There are persons and organizations who and which make it their business to accumulate and compare information (gather intelligence); who understand such crowd / group behavior, and what most encourages and/or creates it:
Imposed order through induced chaos.

The mark - and method - of incompetent and/or corrupt government.

Administrative Business Masters, Lawyers, Politicians Dedicated To The Abuse Of Power
As Shaped By The Will Of The Rogue Corporate State And Government.

If and when you cannot - or choose not to - govern or administrate:
Entertain. Divert. Dazzle. Bamboozle. (P.S. Go for the crotch.)

Contrived ‘crazy making’; frequently in the guise of justice, healing and/or 'doing the right thing'. The mark and method of incompetent government, bereft of administrative skills. 'Order through chaos'. The camouflaged (perceptively normalized) conquest of reason, law, morality and conscience. The creation, maintenance, practice and projection of the linguistic equivalents of Orwellean NEW-SPEAK. The art of persuading people to believe, think, feel, practice, maintain and defend, whatever they are programmed to artificially experience.

Psychological Warfare (PsyWar) language calls this ‘tolerance threshold expansion’.

If people can be conditioned to do, or be complicit with such atrocity as that issued here, the same people can be conditioned to do, or be complicit with: anything at all...

Only criminal elements can profit from this. The public at large will suffer for, and be victimized by it.

Hanged juries. Judgmental gridlock. Civic impotence. The conquest or reason, law and morality. The politically correctionalized triumph of corruption. 'With dignity'. Decisively: without remorse (frequently accompanied by levity and lots of shared inner circle laughs).

"He was brutally handsome! She was terminally pretty! They had one thing in common! They were both good in bed!" - Popular music lyrics
(Ted Bundy's theme?)

"There ain't no good guys! There ain't no bad guys! There's only you and me! And we just disagree!" - Popular music chorus

Play it again (On network TV & radio)...

The key to brainwashing is repetition.

Who stands to profit from such misunderstandings?
The good guys? Or, the bad guys?

The documented dynamic is unusual only in that it was publicly revealed and documentarily resolved.

Eric Fromm's Anatomy of Human Destructiveness admonishes of such potentials in the everyday elements of a 'normal society.'

"Conformist, group aggression: The most common.
The most powerful. The most dangerous.
the most difficult to stop."
- Eric Fromm, THE ANATOMY OF HUMAN DESTRUCTIVENESS

Readers may draw their own conclusions, regarding the penchant for 'normal' people - especially in groups - to abandon, morality, reason, and law...

Great post RP;

There ain't no good guy, there ain't no bad guy.....
There is only ignorance and we all suffer, because of it.

Best to you and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Thank you, Prof.

Perhaps Tribal Initiation served a purpose. When we denigrated it as a primitive practice, not relevant to the modern western world we should have made allowances for the vacuum its removal left behind.

This xmas we are off to spear a kangaroo with stone-tipped spears, and we will roast him over a slow campfire. Our christmas will be good if the hunt is successful, but not so good for the roo. ...

However it is not all one-sided, roos are very difficult to drop without a rifle.

And do you paint your faces like the Aborigines mate?

Actually I don't know if the Aborigines paint their faces. Most of our native Indian tribes did, though I believe that was when they were going on a war path.

No ... we don't go that far. And we wear ankle high shoes with jeans. Brown snakes are the most poisonous in the world, and a single nip can bring death in 60 seconds, at the least a massive stroke and nervous breakdown followed by years of non-guaranteed recovery if your lucky. If I had a choice I would rather be hit by a high powered bullet.

Roo meat has zero fat. It is sold in all the supermarkets here now.

Those that I will be with are natives, they have an attachment to the land, and many fears of trespassing on other tribal territories. This can seriously hold up the hunt as many customs have to be observed.

For me its an exercise in anthropology, and strangely enough, very very exciting. We do take beer. After a few beers I can dance like any primitive.

Enjoy your frozen turkey, humanely killed (is there such a thing) no doubt.
