Mind controool.... let's experiment to see if there is such a thing.
Yup, mind control does exist! err I think this experiment backfired on me. mmmm double-double....
Actually mind control has been around for a very long time, at least the subliminal kind that makes you think things. The USSR reference is quite true and in fact often pictures and cartoons were used to get the message across. The US has even had some interesting black-ops type programs that have dealt with mind control and no doubt many still peruse the power of the mind in unexpected ways. Even Hollywood jumped on the idea many years ago with the movie FireFox where the pilot controlled the jet with his mind.
Yeppers! How often a day for how long in a year does someone need to listen to something before they are brainwashed? I wonder if there are any stats on it?
You know those commercials that are on all the time about the symptoms of this or that disorder or disease? I started noticing after a couple of years that I began to exhibit some of those symptoms and I could be just as happy as could be and after watching the commercial for the third or fourth time in a day, found that suddenly I was feeling down for no apparent reason.
It was the commercials!!! Spoken in that calm voice, akin to a hypnotist. I had to start binding and rebuking that stuff as they said it.
The stats according to the news the other day...1 in 10 families in the US today suffer from some form of mental illness. Ain't that pathetic?
And the fact that the USSR is no longer with us testifies to the efficacy of that kind of mind control.
I wouldn't dismiss that so quickly, same thing different package. What once was the USSR may show itself to become the UN. Same thing but now on a broader scale.

(Eccl 10:20 NKJV) Do not curse the king, even in your thought; Do not curse the rich, even in your bedroom; For a bird of the air may carry your voice, And a bird in flight may tell the matter.
(1 Cor 3:16-17 NKJV) Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.
(2 Th 2:3b-4 NKJV) ...and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
(Mat 21:13 NKJV) And He said to them, "It is written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer,' but you have made it a 'den of thieves.'"
(John 10:1-4 NKJV) "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers."
(Rev 7:2-3 NKJV) Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, saying, "Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads."
