Individual Mind Control, aka Manchurian Candidate, is fiction. But Population Mind Control, aka psychological operations (psyops) and so called "Influence Science" does work. No individual can be forced to change their mind, but statistical sampling over time proves that some people do change their minds. Crowd psychology-based psycholinguistic and theatrical techniques can dramatically change the outcome of a poll or a vote. George Bush's popularity rating soared to 90% in September 2001.
Juxtaposition is more subtle, but here's how it works: Juxtapose a politician's picture next to an unrelated headline about a murder or a story about embezzlement, and watch their popularity ratings fall. Have authorities, who should have inside knowledge, like Condi Rice, Don Rumsfeld, and his "War Heads" shills repeately mention Iraq and 9/11 in the same breath, and polls will show that 70% of Americans came to believe Saddam was "behind" 9/11 (even though people previously believed the culprit was Bin Laden or other Islamic crazies, and Saddam was a secular dictator.)
Now McCain is running this picture ad all over the Internet. Not only does it misrepresent Obama's position on Diplomacy, but it juxtaposes Obama with the Reincarnation of Satan/Saddam, the unspellable Amadinajad!!! And the yes/no buttons don't even work!!
Well, it really sucks that this ad WILL be effective because of biologically-determined weaknesses in Human Psychology, that we subconsciously learn to associate spatial and temporal juxtapositions
Personally, I think Influence Science is an abuse of Psychology and should be banned. Until it is, I have taken the liberty of getting even with McCain's psyops team, with the following image juxtapositions:
My final image juxtaposition about McCain's campaign's use of his heroism so beyond the pale, that I can't preview it for polite company; please DON'T look!

The toast which magically showed up after the NC primary The day after her huge loss in North Carolina, a piece of toast which had an image of Hillary Clinton was used in a viral Email which raised $1.8M for the Obama General Election Campaign.
Fineas Voster woke up this morning, and as usual toasted a couple of slices of whitebread for breakfast. Much to his amazement, it seemed that there was an image of Hillary Clinton in the toast. "I was about to take a bite out of it, and then I saw this lady looking back at me! I hollered for my wife Monica, because it was pretty scary at first."
Mr. Voster went on to say "I thought maybe my toaster was on the fritz, and what with gas bills and food costs the way they are, I couldn't afford to buy a new one."
Remembering that a slice of toast with the image of the Virgin Mary once fetched $28,000 on Ebay, he decided quickly not to eat it. Instead he placed the image on a popular photo website called Flicker, and pretty soon it had been seen zillions of times.
He decided that he would use its popular vote power to end the fractious presidential primary and raise money for progressive political causes. He bundled the picture with a fundraising appeal for Barack Obama, who had the best chance to make the most good on earth, second only to if Al Gore had come to power in 2000.
I was about to take a bite out of it, and then I saw this lady looking back at me! I hollered for my wife Monica, because it was pretty scary at first.
He says she has done nothing to preserve the Hillary Toast except keeping it in a clear plastic container, so "it lasts at least through Obama's Inauguration next January."

A couple of weeks ago, I kept hearing Hillary claim to be Rocky, and it kept generating strange questions in my mind.
I drew my cartoon, then starting thinking how in reality, the US and Russia were really allies like Coke and Pepsi, or Ford and GM, colluding to keep other powers out of the market.
This idea of collusive duopoly was proven in pre-game-theory economics by Cournot in the late 19th century. His work preceeded John "Beautiful Mind" Nash's equilibrium in zero-sum games, and was not known for 100 years after the founders naively used competiton as a basis for our democracy! Imagine that the "best" Democrat and "best" Republican could win their primaries, and then we have a competiiton between the two-best candidates for the General Election, to get our best man as president, Instead, the wealthy party can stick its thumb on the other side's scale.
Nixon's Watergate saga was really about Republicans choosing the weakest democratic candidate, while Iran embassy October Surprise was about weakening the existing democratic candidate. Now Maybe Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter are the collusive Boris and Natasha. Hillary is colluding with supposed arch-enemy Rush Limbaugh, who is holding his fire, trying to help her win the primary, while she makes jokes about his help.
Well, eventually I figured out that she was not talking about the squirrel, but linking herself to Stallone's characters Rocky and Rambo...But thats even funnier than Billwinkle!!!

Every time I hear "Double Digit win" I get angry. In order to turn a 9.2% lead in Penn into a "double digit win" Clinton's spinmeisters rounded 54.6 up to 55% and rounded 45.4% down to 45%, then subtracted AFTER rounding, doubling the rounding error and dumbling the media. We need a group of mathematicians or scientists to make news pointing out this intentional error. If she can't add 2+2 what does that say about budgeting? Its the same spinning baloney as when Texas ended in a statistical tie (before Obama won most caucus delegates), yet Clinton turned that day into a "big triple win" instead of conceding after losing only 13 states in a row instead of 15. Today she is claiming to win the popular vote by counting uncountable states. The truth is that since Florida and Michigan don't count, of the 42 states counted so far, Obama has won 28 states to Clinton's 14 states. Thats 66.6% to 33.3% -- an electoral landslide if democratic delegates were allocated like Republicans or the Electoral College. Similarly, we can look at the results of biggest 100 cities in America, the size of crowds at events, as well as fundraising prowess. We have and are witnessing the Obama Landslide, and it is completely obvious except to those who have been dumbled-down.
Fibbing about the trip to Bosnia with her daughter and celebrities, to burnish her claim for "Commander in Chief" experience has been compared with Dukakis's famous tank ride, looking quite goofy in a helmet. This constitutes a military ethics issue called "Theft of Valor" and will be deadly to her in a campaign when compared to McCain's authentic POW experience.
I gathered suggestions and feedback from the blog and listserv. Here is the 4th draft which I will start to print and cut and mail to up to 200 members who will put them on their cars before the convention. Just send me (Not the whole list!!!) an email with your committment to use it and your US mail address (which I will erase after printing the envelope).
Here are the changes from last time
1) People didn't like Baruch (the hebrew for Arabic Barakh) meaning Blessed, so I got rid of it. (of course his middle name Hussein, might translate as Hazzan (cantor))
2) I used a variety of Garamond to substitute for Gotham
3) I fixed the red waves to sync to the star, and redid the central glow, and used a red rectangle.
4) I added Hebrew and transliteration for "Yes we Can" based on the DipDive video There were 3 different translations floating around the net.
5) You don't have to be Jewish to love Barack so I took off "Another Jew for"
6) Since the JewsforObama domain and variants were taken, I asked the anonymous owners to point to the group site, but that could take weeks, so I leased "Jews4Barack.com" and pointed it at our groups fundraising page.
7) I rested.
you can print 2 to a page on full page labels using the PDF
So here come the first draft of a Jews for Obama Bumper Sticker. Feedback and suggestions welcome!
I am still trying to locate vector art for the logo, and the gotham font, and will try to copy the gradient fill from the Blue circle to the Blue star.
Its pretty easy to make Bumper Stickers at home if you have a color laser printer and precise paper cutter. Various office stores stock the polyester labels in small quantities or 10, or you can get a box of Avery 6575 labels or 1000 sheets of Ripped Sheets glossy!
After a couple of revisions, I'll print and mail them out for free to the first 200 folks willing to decorate their car before the national convention!
(Final design is availble to anyone who makes a donation to the campaign via the http://jewsforobama.com page)
The tracking polls of democratic voters in Ohio were very close as of Sunday, and so the "big win" needs to be explained.
Lots of "dittohead" republicans crossed over to vote for HRC, pushed by Limbaugh and other ideologues. Their idea was that she will be easier for McCain to beat, and also, prolonging this primary will cause democratic donor fatigue.
Poll watchers throughout Ohio are noting large numbers of Republican voters crossing over to vote in the Democratic Primary between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. In the Republican roost of Chagrin Falls, veteran poll worker Liz McFadden was amazed at the number of people jumping the party's ship. Democrats accounted for 70 percent of the voters in her precinct, one of seven at the village's high school. "That's a complete reversal of what it normally is, even more so," she said. "I've never seen a switch like this."

The extra 10% spread in Ohio came from republicans executing a cynical strategy of manipulation. This isn't the first time that republican CREEP's have worked hard to tweak the Democratic Primary to produce their "weakest" opponent. Thats what happened in 1972.
It is easy to find these kind of photos. whats the big gudilla? Its not like G. Edgar Hoover cross-dressing!
Heres Hillary in a toga, George in a chinese birthday suit, and Ludmila Putin in a Kimona.
John Glenn endorsed Hillary. A famous cool younger OH person needs to endorse Obama, before Tuesday march 4!
Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders lives in the Akron/Summit area, and is for public transport and animal rights, therefore she should logically support Obama. So far, she hasn't endorsed anyone. There is a downside risk that her association with PETA (which is considered a terrorist organization by medical research scientists) could be exploited like his minister's association with Farrakhan, but winning Ohio is step 1.
Hynde could, like the Grateful Dead, do a public show (and youtube) of just one song to create a media whirlwhind for a 10% bump in OHIO.
Then the only problem is figuring out how to contact her. Can Anybody make this happen quickly???
The lyrics to "My City was Gone" could be redone by the campaign, for the OHIO messages, e.g.
I went back to the US But my nation was in flame. The goodwill was destroyed by republicans who had no shame The worlds view of the US has gone down in every eye by its war on iraq started with a great big lie Ooh Ahh Lets elect O-ba-ma I went back to the USthe economy was a con game Enron and Worldcom melted away leaving billion dollar claims The oil guys as presidents have a mind only with one track war disrupts the oil tents so our gas prices get out of whackOoh Ahh Lets elect O-ba-ma
I went back to the USBut all the old jobs been lostNAFTA helps move them overseasjust to save on some corporate costStruggling just to get by,Our families are so deep in debtWhen the mortgage payment jumps so highThe fed help the bank instead!Ooh Ahh Let's elect O-ba-ma
Quite an amazing expose in Bloomberg (not running yet) news about the Clinton Monay Machine.
On June 21, 2005, Bill Clinton flew to Mexico City aboard a private jet that belonged to a Canadian investment banker he was meeting for the first time. The introduction paid off for both men. Clinton was borrowing the jetliner to begin a four-day speaking tour of Latin America that would pay him $800,000. Frank Giustra of Vancouver was forming a friendship that would make him part of the former president's inner circle and gain him introductions to presidents of Kazakhstan and Colombia, where he bought mineral rights.

Giustra, 50, has since put his plane at Clinton's disposal at least a dozen times to raise money for charity, his wife's presidential campaign or himself,
The story tracks flight records of Giusta's private airplane and his $130M donations to Clinton's charities, as well as the $50M Clinton has made wheeling and dealing since his retirement.
There are other billionaires who have flown jobs for Clinton like secretive Jeffrey Epstein, who legal problems unfortunately have become newsworthy.
Once you get to ride in Air Force One, even sitting in First Class feels as tight as a 300 pound person in coach :)
This just in from the Republican Party of Texas who brought us George Bush: How to suppress the hot-button anti-abortion hysteria vote they've pumped up since 1973? Use the older nuclear bomb anti-communist hysteria pumped up since 1948!
Denise McNamara of Dallas, [Texas] Republican national committeewoman, strongly supported Fred Thompson. She leaned toward Mr. Romney after that, and now backs Mr. McCain."Most of the people I know like Huckabee," she conceded, predicting that he'll win Texas.. "Huckabee is great on the life issue, but that's one issue, and I'm not a one-issue person," she said. "It's not going to matter if we're a pro-life country if we have a nuclear weapon go off because we have Barack Obama as president who wants to have tea with the president of Iran."

This may presage their attack in the general election.
"No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice"
I think its time to upgrade this from PERSON to FAMILY to save the Republic.
Clinton's real slogan should be "8 more years!"
I got such great feedback for my last Bilbo and Hillum cartoon based on Lord of the Rings, that when I woke up with the strange phrase "Solid is Barack", I realized that only Yoda the Jedi Knight could say it that way. It also fit with the best known anagram for Barack Hussein Obama, which is "Has Samurai Backbone", and a little photoshop here and there and a new poster is loosed upon the universe.
I was at a Democratic town committee gathering the other week, and notice that -- at 50 -- my wife and I are the youngest people there! Since Obama is really bringing energetic and motivated young people into the political process, maybe he can add to his stump speech a subliminal suggestion they find and join and reinvigorate their town or city democratic party apparatus.
I have been receiving from older relatives, the viral anti-Obama email, most recently reprints of Lasky's pieces in "American Thinker" attacking his associations with Robert Malley, and his preacher who associates with Farrakhan, and Brezinski, etc. Like all chain email, it is very emotional and alarming, and asks you to send this important information to everyone you know. However, when I forwarded the open letters to the Jewish community from the group of senators, and from the leaders of major Jewish organizations, they don't forward them on, http://jta.org/cgi-bin/iowa/news/article/20080122levinboxer.html http://www.adl.org/internet/Letter_obama.asp Maybe because they are Hillary supporters, or because the messages are very low affect. So we are losing in assymetric information warfare. Positive Obama/Jewish/Israel information NEEDS TO SPREAD AS VIRALLY as the hatemail. It needs to be visual rather than textual. Can't somebody find video of him at a bar mitzvah dancing the Hora? He needs to make a couple of bad jokes in yiddish, or do a Sammy Davis Jr imitation. We need these on Youtube ASAP.
OMG! I woke from a dream that on Feb 2 the Clintons will announce their pending divorce!
This steal the entire news cycle for the weekend before Super Tuesday, and knocks Britney Spears and Heath Ledger out of the headlines.
Bill says, "out of respect for the Roosevelt constitutional amendment, we realized I shouldn't be back in the White House, except as an occasional guest in the Lincoln Bedroom."
Hillary says, "As a single mom, I really need a good-paying job."
Tearing up, she continues, "You must agree that I can really feel the pain of single mom and middle class families trying to make ends meet."
Analysts from the left and the right argue incessantly about her new electability as an independent woman, the precedent of an unmarried president with rumors of lesbian relationships, which famous lawyers will represent them, what the emotional impact on Chelsea, etc. etc. ad nauseum.
Since a large part of the electorate only responds to who is in the news, Obama needs a counter strategy pronto:)
We are all wondering along with columnists like Eugene Robinson and Maureen Dowd what demon has infested Bill Clinton to become an evil hit-squad in pursuit of being first-consort. I think whoever drew this cartoon of Billbo and Hillum figured it out perfectly:
