Dick Sutphen quotes
Dick Sutphen
Waves below 6 cycles per second caused the subjects to become very emotionally upset, and even disrupted bodily functions. At 8.2 cycles, they felt very high... an elevated feeling, as though they had been in masterful meditation, learned over a period of years. Eleven to 11.3 cycles induced waves of depressed agitation leading to riotous behavior. The Battle for Your Mind: Brainwashing Techniques Being Used On The Public By Dick Sutphen
I am convinced that at least a third of the population is what Eric Hoffer calls "true believers." They are joiners and followers . . . people who want to give away their power. They look for answers, meaning, and enlightenment outside themselves. ....They are followers, not because of a desire for self-advancement, but because it can satisfy their passion for self-renunciation!" Hoffer also says that true believers "are eternally incomplete and eternally insecure"! ......The Moral Majority is made up of true believers. All cults are composed of true believers. You'll find them in politics, churches, businesses, and social cause groups. They are the fanatics in these organizations.

In the entire history of man, no one has ever been brainwashed and realized, or believed, that he had been brainwashed. Those who have been brainwashed will usually passionately defend their manipulators, claiming they have simply been "shown the light" . . . or have been transformed in miraculous ways.

Before I continue, let me point out something else about an altered state of
consciousness. When you go into an altered state, you transfer into right brain, which
results in the internal release of the body's own opiates: enkephalins and
Beta-endorphins, chemically almost identical to opium. In other words, it feels good . . .
and you want to come back for more.
Recent tests by researcher Herbert Krugman showed that, while viewers were watching TV,
right-brain activity outnumbered left-brain activity by a ratio of two to one. Put more
simply, the viewers were in an altered state . . . in trance more often than not. They
were getting their Beta-endorphin "fix."
To measure attention spans, psychophysiologist Thomas Mulholland of the Veterans
Hospital in Bedford, Massachusetts, attached young viewers to an EEG machine that was
wired to shut the TV set off whenever the children's brains produced a majority of alpha
waves. Although the children were told to concentrate, only a few could keep the set on
for more than 30 seconds!
Most viewers are already hypnotized. To deepen the trance is easy. One simple way is to
place a blank, black frame every 32 frames in the film that is being projected. This
creates a 45-beat-per-minute pulsation perceived only by the subconscious mindthe ideal
pace to generate deep hypnosis.
The commercials or suggestions presented following this alpha- inducing broadcast are
much more likely to be accepted by the viewer. The high percentage of the viewing audience
that has somnambulistic- depth ability could very well accept the suggestions as
commandsas long as those commands did not ask the viewer to do something contrary to his
morals, religion, or self-preservation.
The medium for takeover is here. By the age of 16, children have spent 10,000 to 15,000
hours watching television, that is more time than they spend in school! In the average home,
the TV set is on for six hours and 44 minutes per dayan increase of nine minutes from last
year and three times the average rate of increase during the 1970s.
It obviously isn't getting better . . . we are rapidly moving into an alpha-level
world, very possibly the Orwellian world of "1984"placid, glassy-eyed, and
responding obediently to instructions.
A research project by Jacob Jacoby, a Purdue University psychologist, found that of
2,700 people tested, 90 percent misunderstood even such simple viewing fare as commercials
and "Barnaby Jones." Only minutes after watching, the typical viewer missed 23
to 36 percent of the questions about what he or she had seen. Of course they did,
they were
going in and out of trance! If you go into a deep trance, you must be instructed to
remember, otherwise you automatically forget.
I have just touched the tip of the iceberg. When you start to combine subliminal
messages behind the music, subliminal visuals projected on the screen, hypnotically
produced visual effects, sustained musical beats at a trance-inducing pace . . . you have
extremely effective brainwashing. Every hour that you spend watching the TV set you become
more conditioned. And, in case you thought there was a law against any of these things,
guess again. There isn't! There are a lot of powerful people who obviously prefer things
exactly the way they are. Maybe they have plans for us? The

Subliminals are hidden suggestions that only your subconscious perceives. They can be
audio, hidden behind music, or visual, airbrushed into a picture, flashed on a screen so
fast that you don't consciously see them, or cleverly incorporated into a picture or
design.
Most audio subliminal reprogramming tapes offer verbal suggestions recorded at a low
volume. I question the efficacy of this technique if subliminals are not perceptible, they
cannot be effective, and subliminals recorded below the audible threshold are therefore
useless. The oldest audio subliminal technique uses a voice that follows the volume of the
music so subliminals are impossible to detect without a parametric equalizer. But this
technique is patented and, when I wanted to develop my own line of subliminal
audiocassettes, negotiations with the patent holder proved to be unsatisfactory. My
attorney obtained copies of the patents which I gave to some talented Hollywood sound
engineers, asking them to create a new technique. They found a way to psycho-acoustically
modify and synthesize the suggestions so that they are projected in the same chord and
frequency as the music, thus giving them the effect of being part of the music. But we
found that in using this technique, there is no way to reduce various frequencies to
detect the subliminals. In other words, although the suggestions are being heard by the
subconscious mind, they cannot be monitored with even the most sophisticated equipment.
If we were able to come up with this technique as easily as we did, I can only imagine
how sophisticated the technology has become, with unlimited government or advertising
funding. And I shudder to think about the propaganda and commercial manipulation that we
are exposed to on a daily basis. There is simply no way to know what is behind the music
you hear. It may even be possible to hide a second voice behind the voice to which you are
listening. The series by Wilson Bryan Key, Ph.D., on subliminals in advertising and
political campaigns well documents the misuse in many areas, especially printed
advertising in newspapers, magazines, and posters.
The big question about subliminals is: do they work? And I guarantee you they do. Not
only from the response of those who have used my tapes, but from the results of such
programs as the subliminals behind the music in department stores. Supposedly, the only
message is instructions to not steal: one East Coast department store chain reported a 37
percent reduction in thefts in the first nine months of testing.
A 1984 article in the technical newsletter, "Brain-Mind Bulletin," states
that as much as 99 percent of our cognitive activity may be "non-conscious,"
according to the director of the Laboratory for Cognitive Psychophysiology at the
University of Illinois. The lengthy report ends with the statement, "these findings
support the use of subliminal approaches such as taped suggestions for weight loss and the
therapeutic use of hypnosis and Neuro-Linguistic Programming."
