1. This discussion was extremely impactful and riveting. The aspect of considering our history through the lens of mind control struck me as I walked through the Gettysburg battlefields on a recent trip. Why are we in the US (and potentially in other countries) taught only one view point? “The North was morally correct and had to go to war to end slavery-was the battle cry.” (disclosure-I am from Massachusetts and was indoctrinated in this ideology at birth! Never did I question this narrative.)

   Now, with a broader understanding of the way that propaganda works, I began to question the assigned narrative….and this is what I found with respect to propaganda being employed as early as 1809 to plant the seed and foment an emotional response and consensus in order to mobilize a force to fight on behalf of a global power…

   Thomas Jefferson wrote:
   “The question is a mere party trick. The leaders of Federalism, defeated in their schemes of obtaining power by rallying partisans to the principles of monarchism-a principle of personal, not of local division-have changed their tack. They are taking advantage of the virtuous feelings of the people to effect a division of parties by a geographical line; they expect this will ensure them on local principles the majority they could never obtain on prin- ciples of Federalism.
   The “question” designated by Jefferson as “I a mere party trick” was, of course, the burning “negro question.”
   So far as history informs us,
   This idea of using slavery as the opening wedge with which to cleave asunder the Union was first suggested to the Federalists by John Henry, a British emissary sent to this country in 1809 to lay plans for the destruction of the Republic. The following is an extract from the letter of Governor Craig of Canada, by whom Henry was commissioned:
   QUEBEC, February, I809.”
   “I request you to proceed with the earliest conveyance to Boston. The known intelligence and ability of several of its leading men must give Massachusetts a considerable influence over the other states, and will prob- ably lead them in the part they are to take … . It has been supposed
   that if the Federalists of the Eastern States should be successful, and obtain the decided influence which may enable them to direct public opinion, it is not improbable that, rather than submit, they will exert that influence to bringabout a sefaration from the general Union … . I enclose a credential, but you must not use it unless you are satisfied it will lead to more confidential communications.”
   Henry wrote back to the authorities who had employed him in Canada that, although he found the New England Federalist leaders ripe for any measure which could sever the Union, yet that the Union sentiment was so strong among the masses of the people that he doubted if it could be immedi- ately dissolved. He suggested that the best way to further this scheme of disunion would be to get up some sectional domestic question on which the prejudices and passions of the people could be permanently divided. This policy he was sure would finally accomplish the result. The “sectional question” at which he hinted was slavery.

2. Excellent discussion. My first academic training was in languages. There is NO better way to indoctrinate than to exact, warp and reshape the definitions of words. They frame any narrative. It does not surprise me that a PT would understand this. Physical therapists understand synergy and how the human body integrates and works together. Language is a brain function and brain function informs the entire body. I’ve worked with a few PT’s in my time and find them extremely knowledgeable, empathetic and results oriented. Skills so needed but so lacking overall in today’s world! Looking forward to getting the book!!
