The seven coercived persuasion techniques.
To begin with:
Unethical
Persuasion-Techniques(brainwash/coercived
persuasion) are based on the drive
of a
destructive cult….. or a destructive person,
 To
frustrate the contact between their victim(s)(their”‘possession”)
and the dear-ones of that victim (people who really love the victim)
)
To
frustrate any contact with someone with a critical thinking mind outside
the boundaries of the power-structure
 In order to frustrate the reality-testing-possibilities
of the victim(s),
In order to keep the
power-structure, a closed structure/world within which they can do whatever
they want with their victim(s), intact.
In my
opinion out-casting or frustrating contact with some loving/caring person,
for example by negative explanations
from
the destructive cult/person
of
everything that has been said or done by the loving/caring someone,
should
be seen as an alarming situation
concerning
the common knowledge of brainwashing.
THINK!..about
it….
According
to my perception,

Before analysing MOL concerning the
use of coercived persuasion first the following
information about coercived persuasion:
About coercived
persuasion.(see also factnet)
Coercive
persuasion, is best understood as a coordinated system of graduated coercive
influence and behavior control,designed
to deceptively and surreptitiously manipulate and influence individuals,
usually in a group setting, in order for the originators of the program to
profit in some way, normally financially or politically.
The
essential strategy is to systematically select, sequence and coordinate
numerous coercive persuasion tactics over CONTINUOUS PERIODS OF TIME. There
are seven main tactic types found in various combinations in a coercive
persuasion program. A coercive persuasion program can still be quite
effective without the presence of ALL seven of these tactic types.

Tactics
|
Explanation of the tactics
|
|
TACTIC 1.
|
The individual is prepared for thought reform through
increased suggestibility and/or "softening up,"
|
specifically through hypnotic or other suggestibility-increasing
techniques such as: A. Extended audio, visual, verbal, or tactile
fixation drills; B. Excessive exact repetition of routine activities; C.
Decreased sleep; D. Nutritional restriction.
|
|
TACTIC 2.
|
Using rewards and punishments, efforts are made
to establish considerable control over a person's social environment,
time, and sources of social support
|
Social isolation is promoted. Contact with family and friends is
abridged, as is contact with persons who do not share group-approved
attitudes. Economic and other dependence on the group is fostered. (In
the forerunner to coercive persuasion, brainwashing, this was rather easy
to achieve through simple imprisonment.)
|
|
TACTIC 3.
|
Disconfirming information and nonsupporting opinions are prohibited in group
communication.
|
Rules exist about permissible topics to discuss with outsiders.
Communication is highly controlled. An "in-group" language is
usually constructed.
|
|
TACTIC 4.
|
Frequent and intense attempts are made to cause
a person to re-evaluate the most central aspects of his or her experience
of self and prior conduct in negative ways.
|
Efforts are designed to destabilize and undermine the subject's
basic consciousness, reality awareness, world view, emotional control,
and defense mechanisms as well as getting them
to reinterpret their life's history, and adopt a new version of
causality.
|
|
TACTIC 5.
|
Intense and frequent attempts are made to
undermine a person's confidence in himself and his judgment, creating a
sense of powerlessness.
|
|
|
TACTIC 6.
|
Nonphysical punishments are used
|
such as intense humiliation, loss of privilege, social isolation,
social status changes, intense guilt, anxiety, manipulation and other
techniques for creating strong aversive emotional arousals, etc.
|
|
TACTIC 7.
|
Certain secular psychological threats [force]
are used or are present:
|
That failure to adopt the approved attitude, belief, or consequent
behavior will lead to severe punishment or dire
consequence, (e.g. physical or mental illness, the reappearance of a prior
physical illness, drug dependence, economic collapse, social failure,
divorce, disintegration, failure to find a mate, etc.).

Another
set of criteria has to do with defining other common elements of mind
control systems. If most of Robert Jay Lifton's
eight point model of thought reform is being used in a cultic organization,
it is most likely a dangerous and destructive cult.
These
eight points follow:
Robert Jay Lifton's
Eight Point Model of Thought Reform:
No
|
Points
|
Explanation
of the different points of Lifton’s model
|
|
1
|
ENVIRONMENT CONTROL
|
Limitation of many/all forms of communication
with those outside the group. Books, magazines, letters and visits with
friends and family are taboo. "Come out and be separate!"
|
|
2
|
MYSTICAL MANIPULATION.
|
The potential convert to the group becomes
convinced of the higher purpose and special calling of the
group through a profound encounter / experience, for example, through an
alleged miracle or prophetic word of those in the group.
|
|
3
|
DEMAND FOR PURITY
|
An explicit goal of the group is to bring
about some kind of change, whether it be on a global, social, or
personal level. "Perfection is possible if one stays with the group
and is committed."
|
|
4
|
CULT OF CONFESSION
|
The unhealthy practice of self disclosure
to members in the group. Often in the context of a public gathering in
the group, admitting past sins and imperfections, even doubts about the
group and critical thoughts about the integrity of the leaders.
|
|
5
|
SACRED SCIENCE
|
The group's perspective is absolutely
true and completely adequate to explain EVERYTHING. The doctrine is not
subject to amendments or question. ABSOLUTE conformity to the doctrine is
required.
|
|
6
|
LOADED LANGUAGE
|
A new vocabulary emerges within the
context of the group. Group members "think" within the very
abstract
and narrow parameters of the group's doctrine. The terminology
sufficiently stops members from thinking critically by reinforcing a
"black and white" mentality. Loaded terms and clichés prejudice
thinking
|
|
7
|
DOCTRINE OVER PERSON.
|
Pre-group experience and group experience
are narrowly and decisively interpreted through the absolute doctrine,
even when experience contradicts the doctrine.
|
|
8
|
DISPENSING OF
EXISTENCE
|
Salvation is possible only in the group.
Those who leave the group are doomed.
