Teresa said:It's true that SRA isn't as wide spread as the media would like us to believe, but it does happen. I just troubles me when people think it doesn't exist or only in rare circumstances. I've know people who have had SRA experiences and the damage it caused was just horrible.

Laura said:Jacques Vallee made an interesting series of remarks in one of his books based on things that had happened to him in his research, and those remarks described things I had actually experienced during my period of alien abduction research. I'll just paraphrase: He said that when citizen groups start agitating for truth about some matter - in his case, it was UFOS and aliens - the COINTELPRO gang AKA the alphabet soup guys who are owned by the Elite - will create situations where that topic gets a lot of attention in a way that makes it absurd. Vallee described it as a Truth train gaining momentum, and a saboteur gets on board and starts cranking up the speed until it goes out of control and runs off the tracks taking everybody onboard with it.
If you then read "The Secret Team", you see examples of this in different contexts.
So, I think that we can probably safely assume that this is a tried and tested technique.
A recent example that is playing out in front of us is the WikiLeaks thing.
There was the HAARP thing, the Chemtrails thing, the 9-11 Truth thing, and so on. This was even done with "channeling".
Consider the "alien autopsy" and the "MacPherson Abduction" situations in this context too. It's really handy: take something that is true, push it loud and wide, and then get some naive people to buy into the fake parts by cranking up their paranoia, and they end up shooting themselves in the foot AND making the whole area of their research or activism look ridiculous and the masses of people - whose support is needed to get anything done - just get disgusted and go back to sleep.
It's happened over and over and over again.
Laura said:What amazed me at the time was the publicity the SRA thing was getting on mainstream media; like on the Geraldo Rivera show and more! It was blatant, out and out fear mongering just like showing the Twin Towers falling on TV over and over and over and over again. People WERE being programmed by this stuff.
In-depth studies by the U.S. Army after WWII showed that between 80 to 85 percent of the greatest generation never fired their weapons at an exposed enemy in combat, as military psychologist Lt. Colonel Dave Grossman reports. Many times they had the chance, but could not bring themselves to do it. They either withheld their fire altogether or else shot into the air, to the side, anywhere but at the fellow human beings - their blood kin in biology, mind and mortality - facing them across the line...These were not "warriors," bloodthirsty automatons with stripped-down brains and cauterized souls, slavering in Pavlovian fury at the bell-clap of command. No, they were real men, willing, as Grossman notes, to stand up for a cause, even die for it, but not willing, in the end, to transgress the natural law (implanted by God or evolution, take your pick) that says: Do not kill your own kind - and every person of every race and nation is your own kind.
...But far from celebrating this example of genuine glory, the military brass were horrified at the low "firing rates" and anemic "kill ratios" of American soldiery. They immediately set about trying to break the next generation of recruits of their natural resistance to slaughtering their own kind. Incorporating the latest techniques for psychological manipulation, new training programs were designed to brutalize the mind and habituate soldiers to the idea of killing automatically, by reflex, "at the bell-clap of command," without the intervention of any of those inefficient scruples displayed by their illustrious predecessors.
And it worked. The dehumanization process led to a steady rise in firing rates for U.S. soldiers during subsequent conflicts. In the Korean War, 55 percent were ready to pump hot lead into enemy flesh. And by the time the greatest generation's own children took the field, in Vietnam, the willingness to slaughter was almost total: 95 percent of combat troops there fired with the intent to kill.
