Introduction: Are You Brainwashed?

Are you brainwashed? What about some of your neighbors, are they
brainwashed? Before you answer that, let us ask you a few preliminary
questions: Do you believe that the United States was struck by a terrorist
attack on Sept. 11? Do think that the people behind that attack were
"Arabs" and that its "mastermind" was this fellow Osama bin Laden,
operating from a cave in Afghanistan? Do you believe that the way to
stop terrorism is to hit them hard, to hit them at their "bases" in such
places as Afghanistan, and to hit the nations who might sponsor them,
like, say Iraq?

And what about the economy? Do you think that the recent fall of the
stock market, and the weakness in the economy, have been caused by
the Sept. 11 attacks? Well, if you answered "yes" to any of these
questions, you probably are brainwashed! If you answered "yes" to more
than one, you are definitely a "goner."

"But," you, reply, "isn't that what most people think? Wouldn't they
answer those questions the same way I do? Well, the answer to that is,
yes. But, we would remind you: Just because the majority of people
might BELIEVE something to be true, doesn't make it true. All it means,
is that you and most of your neighbors are suffering from a mass
delusion--or, put more bluntly: YOU ARE BRAINWASHED. So, the
question is, really, how did you get this way? How did you come to
believe things like those statements in the first questions were true?
"Well, I heard it on.... Well, I saw it on.... Well, I read it in...."

You needn't bother finishing those statements; we can do it for you: You,
and your neighbors were told the "truth" by the mass media. The
American "news" media, which is so proud of calling itself "free," and
has been patting itself on it back for the wonderful job it has done for all
us during and after Sept. 11, is the largest, most expensive,
mass-brainwashing machine ever assembled in human history. It is a
machine that so completely brainwashes the nearly 300 millions
Americans, that the Nazis' infamous Propaganda Minister Josef Goebbels
would be envious.

Here are the essential facts of what happened on Sept. 11: According to
Democratic Presidential pre-candidate Lyndon LaRouche, whose
assessment is shared by many competent specialists on terrorism and
irregular warfare, in this country and around the world, what took place
was not a terrorist attack, but strategic, covert special operation,
organized to have the appearance of a "terrorist" attack. Mr. LaRouche
and others concur that, given both its scope, and the extent of the
cover-up and misdirection which followed, such an operation could not
have been organized by any Arab terrorist cells or networks, nor by an
Arab or Middle Eastern state, nor any combination of the above; it had to
be organized from within the United States, with the participation and
connivance of a rogue network within the Anglo-American intelligence
and military establishment.

As with any such covert special operation, there is a psychological
warfare component, intended to maximize its effectiveness against a
targetted enemy, to confuse that enemy and misdirect him. In the case of
the Sept. 11 attack, the targetted enemy is the POPULATION OF THE
UNITED STATES AND ITS CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT.
The "psywar" component of the operation is being carried out by the
American media-machine, with the intent to brainwash the American
people INTO ACCEPTING THE ONGOING COUP D'ETAT
AGAINST OUR CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT.

Does that mean that the directors of the U.S. mass media are involved in
the operation? No; it doesn't work that way. As EIR explained and
documented in a 1997 special report, the U.S. media are controlled and
run as a cartel, by the Anglo-American establishment. As such, it
routinely serves the interest of that establishment, reporting what it
wants, and suppressing what it doesn't want reported; or slanting
reporting to conceal reality. Thus, the media's performance before,
during and after Sept. 11 could be prediscounted by those who planned
the operation, so as to become a feature of it; it were merely required to
insert certain specific "psyops" content into this media-brainwashing
apparatus, for it to be spread far and wide with the desired effects on you
and your neighbors.

The brainwashing methods are relatively simple and classic. First, use the
terror itself to put people into a state of shock, making them more
susceptible to suggestion. Then resort to the "Big Lie" technique to
repeatedly hammer home your psywar message--those affirmative
answers to the questions we first asked. And most importantly, lie, by
suppressing all counter-evidence, by refusing to report anything that
might point to the assessment shared by Mr. LaRouche and others: the
cover-up. All this has been done, along with initial softening of the
population to the mass delusional suggestion of the enemy image and the
alleged capabilities and motivations of the so-called terrorists, PRIOR TO
THE LAUNCHING OF THE ATTACK ITSELF.

Don't be so hasty in dismissing the possibility of your own brainwashing.
The enemy knows your profile and uses it. Doesn't that make you a bit
angry--maybe for the right reasons, for the first time in a few weeks?

Our report below is designed to give you a view from inside this
brainwashing process, to see how it has worked on you and your
neighbors. And, while we can't yet say who precisely is behind what was
done to this country--is still being done--we can show you how they
think about brainwashing and use your weaknesses against you.

Psychological Terror as a Means of Warfare: Dresden Redux Before
discussing the brainwashing operation itself, we provide a little
background on the use of terror against mass civilian populations. Not
surprisingly, this was pioneered by the brainwashers of the
Anglo-American establishment.

As commentators on the scene at "Ground Zero" of the World Trade
Center (WTC) attack on Sept. 11 surveyed the devastation, they reached
for metaphors to describe the incredible scene. "It looks like Dresden,"
said one, referring to the firebombing of that German city by the Allies in
1944.

Dresden had no military value as a target. For centuries, it had been a
center of German cultural heritage--a heritage that had everything to do
with positive developments in human civilization, and nothing to do with
the Nazi disease that had been imposed on Germany by the
Anglo-American financial elite. Dresden was chosen for destruction as an
act of TERRORISM, directed, not against the Nazis, per se, but the
German people.

The firebombing of Dresden, creating a raging inferno of destruction that
slaughtered more that 100,000 human beings, was conceived and
directed by a group of social psychiatrists at the Strategic Bombing
Survey, affiliated with the Special Operations Command of the Office of
Strategic Services (OSS). This group was effectively overseen by the
head of the British Psychological Warfare Directorate, Brig. Gen. John
Rawlings Rees, the director the Tavistock Clinic in London, which, since
the 1920s, had served as a center of psychological warfare operations of
the British Empire.

The team at the Strategic Bombing Survey, which included a host of
U.S.-based Tavistock operatives, such as Kurt Lewin, Rensis Likert, and
Margaret Mead, theorized that the terror inflicted on the German
population through the "message of Dresden" would break their will to
fight, leaving them fearful, frightened, and disorganized. They projected
that it would have a lasting effect on Germany, removing that nation
from among the great states of Europe, making it a permanently
psychologically scarred entity. The German people, they argued, would
be made to realize that "all that is German" could be wiped away, all of
its culture and history, in an instant, as it were, by powers who would
oppose an assertive future Germany.

In his 1941 book, "Time Perspective and Morale," Kurt Lewin described
the psychology behind the use of this terror tactic for mass effect:

"One of the main techniques for breaking morale through a `strategy of
terror' consists in exactly this tactic--keep the person hazy as to where he
stands and what just he may expect. If, in addition, frequent vacillations
between severe disciplinary measures and promises of good treatment,
together with the spreading of contradictory news, make the cognitive
structure of this situation utterly unclear, then the individual may cease to
know when a particular plan would lead toward or away from his goal.
Under these conditions, even those individuals who have definite goals
and are ready to take risks will be paralyzed with severe inner conflicts in
regard to what to do."

As the pilots and their crews came to realize what they had done--the
creation of a raging inferno, burning civilian targets and civilians--many
returned to their bases horrified. At the instruction of the psyops
warriors, the crews had not been fully briefed on the mission. Now, they
were greeted by teams of psychologists and others, who would profile
their responses to the terror they had unleashed; they were told, as the
crews who later dropped, unnecessarily, atomic bombs on two Japanese
cities, that it would "shorten the war."

As one former intelligence officer remarked decades later, "we killed for
pure terror, slaughtered people as A TERRORIST WOULD. And, it had
no effect on shortening the war. In fact, it seemed to help rally the
German people to the Hitler government. The fools who designed this
mission probably extended the war" (emphasis added).

The attack on the U.S. Sept. 11, in particular the WTC attack, was
designed for a similar PSYWAR brainwashing effect.

The Sept. 24 issue of "The New Yorker," commented that, according to
"defense experts," the Sept. 11 strike "was clearly an example of what
military strategists call `psyops'; that is, a brand of warfare whose aim is
not to disable military targets, but to sap the overall will of a nation and
its people."

The article goes on to quote from a 1999 paper by military strategist and
analyst Joseph Cyrulik of the Center for Strategic and International
Studies (CSIS) at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.,
"Asymmetric Warfare and the Threat to the American Homeland": "By
killing and wounding people, damaging and destroying their homes and
communities, disrupting their jobs and economic livelihoods, and
undermining their confidence and sense of security, an enemy can inflict
pain to the point that people demand a change in their government's
policies.

"Used at the right time and place ... an attack could destroy the people's
faith in their government, their military, and themselves. It could become
a decisive attack against the political will of an entire populace."
