Wow, this is a treasure of information!

Thanks for sharing this with us WBM, wish i could've been there.

Also: notice how the CoS fits a lot of the cult descriptions.

@Diosibundo Her's written a number of remarkable books since his breakthough volume on Chinese brainwashing (rather as it was displayed in a limited way in Bertolucci's Oscar-winning, 1987 film, "The Last Emperor"). Read carefully, Lifton clarifies how we are all subject to lesser forms of "cultic" influence via the commercial media, our schools and churches.

@Diosibundo Robert Jay Lifton has just published a new book called "Witness to an extreme century"...he is VERY smart ...he teaches at Harvard Medical School. He definitely knows his way around brain science, trauma, near death experiences, survivor guilt, etc.

I heard he worked for the CIA under the MKULTRA program. His books might be psychologcial warfare material. The CIA may have created this rumor.

Thanks for posting this video! I'm just finishing Margaret Thaler Singer's Cult's In Our Midst, which I'd highly recommend. Lifton is definitely next on my reading list!
