FINAL INDEXING DONE BY: _________________________________________________________________ _________ APPENDIX 2 COERCIVE PSYCHOLOGICAL SYSTEMS A GENERATIONAL TECHNOLOGY F.A.C.T. focuses most of its efforts upon educating the public on the current state-of-the-art second generation systems because of their increased effectiveness and the growth in their use. Coercive psychological systems can be spoken of in terms of advancing generations i.e., first, second, third, etc. Each advancing generation has grown more dangerous and powerful than the previous generation. Pre-first generation coercive psychological "systems" refer to the period before the mid-1940's when the scientifically engineered first generation came to be recognized in the brainwashing and "thought reform" programs of the Korean War. Much can still be learned from studying these pre-first generation, less scientifically applied historical antecedents and empirically derived adaptations of coercive psychological influence. Good examples of this prefirst generation can be found throughout the centuries in some of the extremist social, political, or religious cults and initiatory secret societies. First generation systems are popularly associated with the 45-year-old ideas and models of brainwashing, thought reform, the Korean War, and The "Manchurian Candidate" misconceptions. It is in the first generation that coercive psychological systems properly can be called a modern mind technology. First generation systems are often strictly and wrongly associated with mandatory use of suggestibility-increasing drugs, and/or the use of physical pain, captivity, and torture to achieve coercive psychological influence. Although these things were sometimes used in first generation programs, they were not always used. In first generation, in spite of the popular misconceptions, the use of suggestibility-increasing drugs, and/or the use of physical pain, captivity, and torture were not always essential for effective thought reform to have taken place. Unlike the more randomly applied, empirically derived, pre-first generation programs, it is important to understand that beginning with first generation programs, scientific methodology was engaged to greater and greater degrees to behaviorally engineer more detailed, effective, and complete SYSTEMS of coercive environmental and individual influence. Second generation systems are partially distinguished from their cruder predecessors by their complete transcendence of the need to use any physical force or physical constraint. They also are able to alter behavior, ideology and attitude, not just behavior and ideology as in the older generation systems. They are further distinguished by their clandestine, non-confrontational method of application to groups and in group settings versus the older systems' overt, confrontational methods directed primarily at individuals. With the sophisticated second generation technological improvements of coercive psychological systems, you CAN now change a person's attitude without his knowledge or volition. You CAN create new "attitudes," which cause him to do things "willingly" that he may formerly have detested. The use of suggestibility-increasing drugs, and/or the use of physical pain, captivity, and torture sometimes found in first generation programs is not part of, or necessary for, the more advanced second generation coercive psychological influence programs to be effective. Third generation technology is a less defined and evolving term. It deals with the clandestine, nonconfrontational possibilities of large-scale or mass-population application of coercive psychological systems by accident or plan through the simultaneous use of multiple converging technologies. It deals with the unforeseen coercive influence possibilities, synergies, and capabilities that will emerge as one combines advancing information and management control, computerization, electronic communications, and other media and nonmedia electronic technologies with the newer generations of coercive behavioral systems. ================================================================= If this is a copyrighted work, you are acknowledging by receipt of this document from FACTNet that on the basis of reasonable investigation, you have not been to obtain a copy elsewhere at a fair price, and that you are and will abide by the following copyright warning.
