HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHES EXPOSING
OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY
1 An Examination of Obama’sUse of Hidden HypnosisTechniques in His Speeches THE EVIDENCE IS HERE: This document contains over 60 pages of evidenceand analysis proving Barack Obama’s use of a little-known and highly deceptiveand manipulative form of “hack” hypnosis on millions of unaware Americans,and reveals what only a few psychologists and hypnosis/NLP experts know. Barack Obama’s speeches contain the hypnosis techniques of Dr. Milton Erickson, M.D. who developed aform of “conversational” hypnosis that could be hidden in seemingly normal speech and used on patientswithout their knowledge for therapy purposes. Obama’s speeches intentionally contain:Obama’s techniques are the height of deception and psychological manipulation, remaining hidden becauseone must understand the science behind the language patterns in order to spot them. This documentexamines Obama’s speeches word by word, hand gesture by hand gesture, tone, pauses, body language, andproves his use of covert hypnosis intended only for licensed therapists on consenting patients. Obama’smesmerized, cult-like, grade-school-crush-like worship by millions is not because “Obama is the greatestleader of a generation” who simply hasn’t accomplished anything, who magically “inspires” by givingspeeches. Obama is committing perhaps the biggest fraud and deception in American history.Obama is not just using subliminal messages, but textbook covert hypnosis and neuro-linguisticprogramming techniques on audiences that are intentionally designed to sideline rational judgment andimplant subconscious commands to think he is wonderful and elect him President. Obama is eloquent.However, Obama’s subconscious techniques are shown to elicit powerful emotion from his audience andthen transfer those emotions ontohim, to sideline rational judgment, and implant hypnotic commands thatwe are unaware of and can’t even consciously question. The polls are misleading because some of Obama’scommands are designed to be triggered only in the voting booth on November 4th. Obama is immune tological arguments like Wright, Ayers, shifting every position, character, and inexperience, because hypnosisaffects us on an unconscious and emotional level. To many people who see this unaccomplished man’sunnatural and irrational rise to the highest office in the world as suspicious and frightening and to those whowelcome it, this document uncovers, explains, and proves the deceptive tactics behind true “ObamaPhenomenon” including why younger people are more easily affected.- Trance Inductions- Hypnotic Anchoring- Pacing and Leading- Pacing, Distraction and Utilization- Critical Factor Bypass- Stacking Language Patterns- Preprogrammed Response Adaptation- Linking Statements/ Causality Bridges- Secondary Hidden Meanings/ImbeddedSuggestions- Emotion Transfer- Non-Dominant Hemisphere Programming

AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 4Skeptics will surely doubt the information provided in this document with four specificoppositions – each of which this document disproves.These certain oppositions answered in this document are:1. Hypnosis isn’t real - hypnosis wouldn’t / doesn’t work on meTrance states of mind and enhanced suggestibility happen to everyone every day; driving in your car, in theelevator, watching T.V., or listening to music. This mild hypnotic state is all that is needed for Ericksoniantechniques to implant hypnotic commands you are unaware of.2. Obama isn’t intentionally using mass hypnosisThis document contains over a hundred examples of Obama’s specific language patterns and hypnosistechniques that follow textbook Ericksonian principles and characteristics too much to be coincidence.3. Obama’s popularity is not attributable to his use of hypnosisYoung people and more educated people actually have lower hypnotic subconscious suggestibilitythresholds for scientific reasons explained. Popular perceptions of Obama are provable as inconsistent withhis accomplishments, history, background, and even what is heard from him consciously – however, theymatch perfectly with the messages he is caught sending intending to be received only subconsciously.People are admittedly mesmerized by him. The irrational rise to power of and uncanny passionate supportfor a logically unaccomplished and questionable man based on his speaking alone like the “Obamaphenomenon” is widely accepted – only the rational explanation for it is missing. Finally, he would notcontinue to use these deceptive techniques if he did not believe they work.4. There is nothing unethical about Obama’s use of hypnosisThe techniques used by Obama are the most deceptive forms of communication known to man. Theysideline rational judgment and implant subconscious commands that change how people feel and behavewithout any awareness of the manipulation. Obama’s techniques overcome the will without convincing thejudgment through trickery. Obama often says one message that you are aware of, meanwhile implants adifferent message hypnotically with double or hidden meanings. He conjures up emotions by talking aboutyour children, and JFK, and then is caught transferring those feelings onto him with hidden hand gestures.He hides what he is doing and brazenly uses these techniques in front of millions of people over and over.Once explained, Obama’s actions can be shown to be the height of manipulation and deception. IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU READ THISDOCUMENT IN ORDER, FROM BEGINNING TO END, ASDEFINITIONS ARE BUILT ON TOP OF ONE-ANOTHER, ANDUNDERSTANDING OF THESE DEFINITIONS IS NECESSARYTO FOLLOW LATER INTERPRETATIONS AND ANALYSIS

AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 5Foreword and commentaryThe level of deception involved in Obama’s use of covert hypnosis, and his presumption that he has theright to use hypnosis on us to gain votes is just unconscionable. It is not a connection to another person thathe can deny. It is Obama’s own highly deceptive actions, provable once explained, on video, playable overand over. Obama is sidelining rational judgment and using undue influence to win over voters applyingpsychological subconscious manipulation like never before in American history.No other argument against Obama can fundamentally change the way people feel about him deep downinside, EXCEPT, proof that precisely the way they feel about him deep down inside is because of Obama'sown deception and use of hidden hypnosis. This is because exposing Obama’s use of hypnosis takes thepeople who are entranced by him subconsciously and emotionally, and puts the issue of why they feel thatway on a conscious rational level where they can analyze it. It is the one thing that can fundamentallychange the game, and shatter Obama’s magical immunity to all of his other faults, logical disqualifications,and deceptions. This can include the media changing their mind about Obama once they see who he reallyis and also helping to expose what Obama is doing in the interests of democracy. Many people do wake upfrom the effects of hypnosis once you tell them they have been hypnotized and explain what has happenedto them. To a lot of people, it is just a missing piece of the puzzle that makes everything else make sense -almost as if it were the missing piece they were somehow even looking for on some level. 1 PART 1 – HYPNOSIS BASICSYou must understand the basics of Ericksonian hypnosis to see what Obama is doingAlmost nobody realizes what Obama is doing. These techniques are nearly impossible for an untrainedperson to detect. With the exception of a few trained experts in hypnosis, nobody understands even what tolook for. It sounds in every way like ordinary powerful speech.Hypnosis is not sleep, nor what is portrayed in movies. In order to spot what Obama is doing, one must firstunderstand covert hypnosis and conversational hypnosis, and know how the science works. Only byknowing how hypnosis works will you see that Obama’s speech often diverges from normal and logicalspeech patterns, and clearly uses the non-logical, clearly artificial and intentional patterns of hypnotic tranceinduction, and hypnotic critical factor bypass as taught in the field of covert and conversational hypnosis.This document will explain what Obama is precisely doing and how it works by explaining hidden hypnoticlanguage patterns and other hypnosis techniques, and pointing out these patterns and techniques in Obama’sspeeches.Obama is using textbook, clinical trance inductions in his speeches. Obama’s hypnotic techniques work ona subconscious level, and are designed so that people watching him in an audience or on TV are completelyunaware of his techniques and their effects. Obama is using clear hypnotic anchoring, pacing and leading,and numerous other hypnosis techniques designed to take away our rational judgment in deciding for whom 1 “The only thing you need to do to break a negative hypnotic spell that has been cast on you is begin to think rationally, to begin to think critically. And if you decide that you choose this message as one that’s good for you, by all means sit back, relax, andenjoy the ride. But, if you decide that this is not something you want to have in your life, just simply analyze it, criticise it,ridicule it, and say “Hey, that’s not how the world works.” And you’ll have protected your mind from taking on board somethingwhich you really dont need.” The Power of Conversational Hypnosis, Clifford Mee and Igor Ledochowski, re the section entitled“The Dark Side of Hypnosis.”

Not only is this the only explanation that makes sense for the amazing rise and“Obama phenomenon” sweeping our nation, but the evidence is undeniable.To say Obama’s amazing following and rise to power is simply because he is a great speaker is not logicallysufficient. Even if Obama were the greatest speaker to come along in 30 years, it still would not explainwhy even being simply a great speaker would cause people to say he is the greatest “leader” of a generation,or “sent by g-d” or “JFK” and why that he should be trusted to make decisions like he has never made in hislife, or that he will bring change when he hasn’t really changed anything in his 46 years. What he has donedoes not logically fit how he is perceived. In fact, the gulf is too wide to be random unexplainedphenomenon. As shown, he does, however, use clever hypnosis techniques while discussing e.g. JFK tosubconsciously transfer feelings conjured up in his audience onto him through, e.g. flashed hand gestureswhich appear innocent to uncritical observation.Real “hypnosis” explainedMost people are hypnotized and fall into trance every day of their lives. 2 It is a common, every dayoccurrence, whether for a brief second, or minutes or longer. A very basic example is when you are drivinga car while in deep thought, and you suddenly realize you are much further along with no memory ofdriving the whole distance. Another example, is when you are on an elevator watching the numbers changeand go into trance, and when everyone else gets off, you take that as a nonverbal suggestion to get off,before you “wake up” and realize it is not your floor. This elevator example is an example of masshypnosis, where the close rapport with the hypnotist is not necessary, because many people are bothhypnotized partly by whatever is causing the trance, and partly by the fact that you are being “paced” or alsohypnotized by everyone else in the elevator doing the exact same thing as you. The reason you cry fromreading sad book simply by reading ink on paper is because of the mind’s interaction with that information,which is also a hypnotic process. 3 Two separate definitions of “hypnosis”:1. First, hypnosis, is “a particular altered state of hyper-suggestibility brought about in an individual by acombination of relaxation, fixation of attention, and suggestion.” 4 2. Second, hypnosis is also “bypassing the ‘critical factor’ and setting up acceptable selective thinking. 5 ”The “critical factor” is the conscious part of the brain that you think with that has the ability to make rationallogical judgments about what information is received. 6 The critical factor acts as a filter, determining what 2 Erickson maintained that trance is a common, everyday occurrence. For example, when waiting for buses and trains, reading or listening, or even being involved in strenuous physical exercise, it's quite normal to become immersed in the activity and go into atrance state, removed from any other irrelevant stimuli. These states are so common and familiar that most people do notconsciously recognize them as hypnotic phenomena. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milton_H._Erickson 3 The Power of Conversational Hypnosis, Clifford Mee and Igor Ledochowski4 Modern Hypnosis, Theory and Practice, Masud Ansari, Ph.D.5 Killer Influence Secrets of Covert Hypnosis, by David X, Part 1, David X’s educational video, “How to Hypnotize with Covert Hypnosis and Hypnotic Language” See video online, such as at: http://www.revver.com/video/834827/how-to-hypnotize-with- covert-hypnosis-and-hypnotic-language/ 6 Killer Influence Secrets of Covert Hypnosis, by David X, Part 1

They are: 9 1. Pacing and distraction of the dominant (language) hemisphere;2. Utilization of the dominant hemisphere, language processing which occurs below the level ofawareness;3. Accessing of the non-dominant hemisphere;This above three part process is extremely important to later analysis. Essentially, hypnosis is an alteredand common state of mind involving intense focus, sidelining or disassociation of the rational criticalthinking, and the state of hyper-suggestibility brought about while the subconscious mind is the dominantplayer. 10 It happens while reading, listening to music, and even while hearing a great speaker. 11 However, the power of such methods is what is difficult to grasp. What we are talking about is“transformational linguistics” – language that literally changes who you are at your deepest levels, yourdeepest passions, drives, and emotions while you are completely unaware.Under Freud, there is the conscious mind that you think with, called the “ego.” You also have a conscience,called the “super-ego.” Then, there is the largest part of the psyche, theid, which is the back-end of all ourmemory, our most basic instincts and drives, emotions, and suppressed desires. 12 “The unconscious mind isthe source of our energy, and no amount of conscious reasoning can override it. The unconscious mind isun-critical, it accepts as absolute truth any idea that is allowed to enter its computer-like system” 13 Themessages of hypnosis, including mass hypnosis, can be far more powerful than just someone’s consciousthoughts, as it affects their most basic biological drives and instincts. 14 That is why many of Obama’sfollowers are so passionate for him, why they are fainting in his presence, comparing him to Jesus, andsupporting him like no other candidate before. 7 Killer Influence Secrets of Covert Hypnosis, by David X, Part 18 Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H.

Erickson, also known as the father of modern hypnosis method, was the single greatestpractitioner of hypnosis, having dramatically advanced the field. 15 Dr. Erickson is internationally acclaimedas the leading practitioner in the field of hypnosis 16 for his understanding of the science of both inducingand utilizing hypnotic states. 17 Dr. Erickson discovered while working as a therapist, that he could hide therapeutic hypnosis within thenormal content of an inconspicuous conversation with the patient, and avoid much of the patient’s consciousresistance that normally accompanied hypnotherapy. 18 Dr. Erickson realized the subconscious mind wasalways listening, and understood better than anyone before how to access it, and implant suggestions into it.What Dr. Erickson did was figure out how to put people into trance and hypnotize them and implantsuggestions with seemingly normal conversation. He discovered that people could achieve this heightenedstate of hyper-suggestibility without the traditional difficultly-induced coma-like state traditionallyassociated with hypnosis. Though his pioneering understanding, he was able to do the same and much moreoften with simple plays on words and embedded meanings in a single sentence.The entire field of “covert hypnosis”, or “conversational hypnosis” is based on Dr. Erickson’s techniques,and is now primarily used by hypnotists and psychiatrists. 19 Conversational hypnosis is often referred to asEricksonian hypnosis. The word “hypnosis” is never mentioned and there is nothing overt to give away thathypnosis is being used. It is impossible to detect unless you know precisely what to look for. Hack versionsof these techniques are unfortunately taught to be used as persuasion tools for salespersons, and even moreunfortunately also for men looking to enhance their success picking up and seducing with women.The reason this is so unfortunate, is because covert hypnosis is designed to sideline rational judgment. Thatis fundamental to how it works; to bypass the dominant hemisphere and critical factor. It essentially tricksthe subconscious mind into accepting commands as absolute truths which include not only those approvedby the conscious mind, but outside commands from a hypnotist who can implant any suggestion he wishes.Dr. Erickson was adamant that only doctors be allowed to practice his techniques because of how stronglyhe felt about how dangerous such science could be in the wrong hands.Subconscious suggestions are more powerful than even what the subject believes consciously – as suchsuggestions become parts of their deepest psyche. Because covert hypnosis is hidden in ordinary speech, 15 Milton E. Erickson, often looked at as the father of modern day hypnosis understanding, was founding president of the American Society for Clinical Hypnosis and a fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, the American PsychologicalAssociation, and the American Psychopathological Association. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milton_H._Erickson He felt verystrongly that the field of hypnosis should only be allowed to be studied by doctors because of its power. 16 Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H. Erickson, M.D. Volume 1, p1.17 Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H. Erickson, M.D. Volume 1, p1.18 Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H. Erickson, M.D. Volume 1, p25 “by communicating indirectly, Dr. Erickson avoids the issue of resistance to a large extent.” “Erickson believed that the unconscious mind was always listening, and thathypnosis could be used whether the patient was aware of it or completely oblivious to the fact that a hypnotic technique was beingused. Erickson would see if the patient would respond to one or another kind of indirect suggestion, and allow the unconsciousmind to actively participate in the therapeutic process. In this way, what seemed like a normal conversation might induce ahypnotic trance, or a therapeutic change in the subject. Andre M. Weitzenhoffer (1976) Introduction/forward in HypnoticRealities Erickson & Rossi. It is called conversational hypnosis because the subtleties are slipped into a conversation and theother person would not consciously realize it, while the tactics could have a very real subconscious effect.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milton_H._Erickson 19 Sometimes the field is called “black-ops” hypnosis.

Since theconscious mind is not even aware of the messages being sent, conscious scrutiny and resistance iseliminated. 20 The subject cannot even question the messages being sent – they are simply implanted by thehypnotist as the subject’s most fundamental beliefs. Then, even the subject’s own rational mind cannotoverpower them.Bypassing the dominant hemisphere’s rational judgment (“critical factor”)The critical factor is the part of the mind that logically analyzes and scrutinizes all information like a filter,and decides what information is allowed to pass into your subconscious mind and become part of what yourmind accepts as unquestionably true, like your deepest and most powerful emotions, drives, and instincts. 21 It is the primary cognitive defense that usually stops all information and rationally analyzes it, whetherconsciously or unconsciously. It keeps your computer-like subconscious mind from literally believing thatyou are a chicken when someone calls you a “chicken”, and keeps you from literally believing that you are asquare (box) when somebody calls you a “square”, and keeps you from literally believing you are a (snowor cereal) flake when somebody calls you a “flake.” you don’t consciously ponder it when someone callsyou a chicken, your critical fator stops that information below the level of awareness.The critical factor is the cognitive function best analogized to a security guard (critical factor) who searchesevery person (information) entering into a nightclub looking for weapons. (and stops all information that isquestionable) 22 The critical factor stops all information and allows your thinking and rationality todetermine whether it is acceptable to the subconscious mind or not.Hypnosis uses language patterns, visual tricks, body language, voice, tone, and other aspects ofcommunication to get “suggestions” past the critical factor part of the brain and directly into the listener’ssubconscious. 23 This is wonderful if the command is to be free of a phobia, or quit smoking. The reasonhypnosis is used for such psychological change, is that the critical factor allows in only what it accepts astrue. Without bypassing the smoker’s critical factor, a smoker has a difficult time quitting because theyhave a difficult time accepting as absolutely true the information that they are a nonsmoker, because theircritical factor and conscious mind knows differently and doesn’t let the information through.How one might simplify this point, is, in normal everyday life, calling someone a “chicken” will not causethem to literally believe they are a chicken and act like one. This is because the critical factor stops thisinformation from passing into the subconscious. So how can a hypnotist get a subject to cluck like achicken believing they are one? The hypnotist knows how to get the hypnotic suggestion that the subject isa chicken past the critical factor part of the consciousness, and get the subconscious mind to accept it asunquestionably true. 20 Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H.

AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 10PART 2 – WHAT OBAMA IS ACTUALLY DOINGObama’s actions are far more deceptive than simply lyingIf used by a politician and discovered, such hypnosis technique, if understood as it should be, to be theheight of manipulation and deception, would destroy a politician’s career. 24 There is no other way to viewsuch a politician other than disturbingly and disqualifyingly deceptive, someone whom we apparently knowvery little about, and cannot trust, who has been continually hiding something from us and manipulating us.To see a politician continue to perform a multitude of hundreds of deceptive acts, which he knows about butwe are meant not to know about, that affect our judgment and mental processes, and that manipulate us inways we are not even aware of, all the while thinking he is clever enough to get away with it until he finallygets caught, is the height of immoral deception. It is perhaps the biggest fraud and deception in Americanhistory.Most of our beliefs come to us from our own rational judgment and conscious analysis of the world. Forexample, we know it good to wake up in the morning and do something because we rationally know theconsequences of staying in bed all day. When we like people, it is usually due to a combination of ourrational judgment and how that person naturally makes us feel about them. We try to make people like usmore by following social norms, making people feel good, smiling, and so on.However, a very small percentage of the population actually study subconscious manipulation of not onlyhow people feel about them, but how to manipulate and alter the beliefs we usually come to by our rationaljudgment, reason, and experience. These people study specifically how to sideline this rational judgment,reason, and experience, and natural feelings, and bend people’s feelings and will through the application ofthis branch of psychiatry to their interactions.Obama is an expert at this type of artificial manipulation. His ability to convince rationally and any natural“charm” is only part of how a person feels about Obama. The rest is deceptive subconscious manipulation.His tactics are deceptive because he has mastered the science and art of lowering the effects of the rationalscrutiny parts of the mind through his speaking, actions, and presentation. He gets you to believe not byconvincing you rationally until you decide to believe it, but by knowing how to say to your subconsciousmind literally the words that “youbelieve” in a way that your subconscious mind will simply accept themessage and believe without having rationally decided to believe. He knows how to say to yoursubconscious mind that it “chose” (Obama) even when it hasn’t, in a way that you will believe that you havechosen. He understands subconscious manipulation enough to know how to talk about families, and yourchildren, and John F. Kennedy, and conjure up feelings within you from speaking in certain rhythmic andunnaturally slow tempos, and then subconsciously transfer the emotions he conjures up onto him, such aswith hand gestures or hidden content in language. You genuinely walk away from him feeling warm, andviewing him as a JFK, except it is artificial. He knows how to say one thing, but have your subconsciousmind ultra-powerfully receive a different message and feeling than you are aware of. He is actuallyimplanting feelings and emotions into your subconscious. They feel like your own. Rationally he is anunaccomplished man with shady connections, but you are tricked into feelings about him that overpower 24 Also distinguished, are common political tactics. Such tactics, like making sure there is a Presidential podium in front of you, and American flags behind you to make you look Presidential. While they send messages, they are not analogous to the deceptiveand unprecedented hypnosis used by Obama that is the focus of this document.

This entire system is designed to do onething - to make us feel like the decision to support Obama is our own when it is really, at least for many,implanted artificially through hypnosis.What Obama is doing is in effect the same as if he dangled a silver watch in front of us and said “you aregetting sleepy and going into trance....you have an unstoppable urge that you cannot resist.....you must votefor Barack.” In fact, as discussed below, Obama was actually caught at least once saying something verysimilar with his own lips. Yes, Obama was caught giving an overt hypnotic command to vote for him. 25 People even made fun of it, but nobody realized it was actual intentional hypnosis until it is now explained.(see below)Hypnotizing someone without their knowledge is the height of immorality. The level of deception involvedhere, in Obama’s use of covert hypnosis, and his presumption that he has the right to use hypnosis on us togain votes is just unconscionable. If a stranger came up to you in a restaurant and tried to hypnotize you toget you to do anything, even so much as buy them a cup of coffee, and you figured out that they were tryingto use actual hypnosis on you, you would run.If Obama simply lied, we voters would be able to use our rational judgment to make a logical decision aboutwhat is the truth, and what we should believe, and what we shouldn’t. However, because he is implantingsubconscious commands we are not aware of consciously, into the deepest parts of our emotional andsubconscious psyches, he is actually taking away our ability to make those rational judgments. He ismaking the decision to and taking away even our ability to question the commands he is hypnotizing uswith. We never even know the commands are being implanted (until now with this document), and we aretricked into believing that our feelings are coming from deep inside us. Obama’s concealment of hishypnotic techniques can only be looked at as deception. 26 The passion people feel for Obama is real because it comes from deep inside each of them. Thus, logicalarguments against Obama become irrelevant. To all those who were wondering what the impaired rationaljudgment of millions of people looks like, here it is. It doesn’t matter that he has no accomplishments,never takes hard positions, or that he changes to opposite positions from almost one day to the next, or haslong term connections to extremists, racists, and other shady people, is endorsed by Iran and Hamas, andsimply says he didn’t know the character of his own pastor and mentor for twenty years. The logic of thisdisturbing information is on the conscious level, and cannot override the subconscious nor change how hissupporters feel internally. 27 Many may be somewhat bothered by it logically, but it hasn’t changed how 25 See below, regarding Obama’s Statement featured in McCain ad, “The One”, - Obama’s hypnotic command that “a light will shine down from somewhere, it will light upon you, you will experience an epiphany, and you will say to yourself, ‘I have to votefor Barack’” – criticized for its being ridiculousness probably without even awareness that it is hypnosis. 26 “Deception (also called beguilement or subterfuge) is the act of convincing another to believe information that is not true, or not the whole truth as in certain types of half-truths. Deception involves concepts like propaganda, distraction and/or concealment.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deception 27 “The unconscious mind is the source of our energy. No amount of will power exerted by the conscious mind can override it.” Modern Hypnosis Theory and Practice, Masud Ansari, Ph..D., p43.

The fact that he has changed nearly every position from the primaries to thegeneral election doesn’t register in us consciously what it should – that this unknown man can just as easilychange the day after he is sworn in as President and be anyone he chooses, including a very different personthan he has been portraying.Now, what sounds like frightening science fiction is reality. Someone whom we really don’t know, who isunaccomplished, with many shady connections and supporters, is trying to use hypnosis on millions to getus all to turn over control of the world’s largest nuclear arsenal to him, and he is about to succeed.The study of the effects of mass hypnosisA widely held view among psychologists and experts is that conversational hypnosis is literally a form ofmind control. One author says:“Essentially conversational hypnosis allow users to gain control of their subjects mind throughspoken word, and literally get them to do as they wish - within reason of course. Essentially theEnglish language has various emotional triggers and tone's which can be utilised to induce peopleinto a trance. When people are in such a trance it is possible to alter their views and control theiractions.” 28 Some video examples of the power of hypnosis are included in the footnotes. 29 However, this particular oneat this footnote at the end of this sentence of hypnotist Derren Brown is amazing, and very exemplary ofhow conversational hypnosis works, and is highly recommended for a quick understanding. 30 To give youan idea of the power of hypnosis in the wrong hands, hypnosis can be used to get a complete stranger tohand over a wallet in seconds. 31 MSNBC 32 and BBC 33 reports a man stealing from stores and banks usinghypnosis.One book that studied mass hypnosis called Rape of the Mind was written by Joost A.

AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 13There are many quacks who practice hypnosis, not to cure their victims but to force them intosubmission, using the victim's unconscious ties and dependency needs in a criminal, profitable way.One of the most absorbing aspects of this whole problem of hypnosis is the question of whetherpeople can be forced to commit crimes, such as murder or treason, while under a hypnotic spell.Many psychologists would deny that such a thing could happen and would insist that no person canbe compelled to do under hypnosis what he would refuse to do in a state of alert consciousness. Butactually what a person can be compelled to do depends on the degree of dependency that hypnosiscauses and the frequency of repetition of the so-called posthypnotic suggestions. 35 Rape of the Mind discusses psychological conditioning from World War II Nazi tactics, to Soviet Cold-Wartheoreticians, to our own democracy. (See Chapter 2 – Mass Conditioning Through Speech, and PoliticalConditioning. 36 The Book also discusses the dangers of the real phenomenon of mass hypnosis:Suggestion and hypnosis are considered by some to be a psychological blessing, but they can also bethe beginning of terror. Mass hypnosis, for example, can have a dangerous influence on theindividual. Psychiatrists have found several times that public demonstrations of mass hypnosis mayprovoke an increased hypnotic dependency and submissiveness in many members of the audiencethat can last for years. Largely for this reason Great Britain has passed a law making seances andmass hypnotism illegal. Hypnosis may act as a trigger mechanism for a repressed dependency needin the victim and turn him temporarily into a kind of waking sleep-walker and mental slave. Thehypnotic command relieves him of his personal responsibility, and he surrenders much of hisconscience to his hypnotizer. As we mentioned before, our own times have provided us with far toomany examples of how political hypnosis, mob hypnosis, and even war hypnosis can turn civilizedmen into criminals.Pavlov’s theory of psychology also says that propaganda can create mass hypnosis, and people can becomeconditioned to verbal or other symbols used in propaganda. Such masses can lose their discretion and beeasily influenced. 37 For Americans to presume that we are not subject to any propaganda just because weare Americans is insufficient logic.Illegality of Obama’s use of hypnosisHypnosis-type mental pressure has been held by the Supreme Court of the United States to be so undulyinfluential as to deprive someone of their fundamental rights. The US Supreme court case was Leyra v.Denno, 347 U.S. 556 (1954), Leyra v. Denno, No. 635, Argued April 28, 1954, Decided June 1, 1954, 347U.S. 556. After police questioned a suspect day and night unable to obtain a confession, a hypnotist tried,and did successfully get the suspect to confess. The legal battles over whether the confession was voluntaryor not, undue influence or not, went all the way to the Supreme court of the United States, which decidedthat his confession could not be used as evidence against him in court.

For example, with hypnotizing someone to get access to that person’s bankaccount – even the hypnotist makes the person believe they want to do it, they are using techniques whichcreate an undue influence on the person.The Executive Committee of the American Psychological Association Division of Psychological Hypnosishas said, “clinical hypnosis should be used only by properly trained and credentialed health careprofessionals (e.g. licensed clinical psychologists), who have also been trained in the clinical use ofhypnosis and are working within the areas of their professional expertise.” The Appellate Division of theLos Angeles County Superior Court has held that practice of hypnotism as curative measure ormode ofprocedure by one not licensed to practice medicine amounts to unlawful practice of medicine. 41 What Obama is doing is making some people’s support of him in this election not of our own free will. Heus using hidden techniques so we cannot even question the commands he is slipping into our subconscious.Many genuinely want to support him like smokers want a cigarette, and as smokers, we find the logic tojustify how we feel.The hypnosis technique of “pacing and leading” to sideline rational judgmentIn a nutshell, “pacing and leading” is using hypnosis to bypass the critical factor. By bypassing thecognitive functions that would normally critically analyze and scrutinize information, the hypnotist tricksthe patient’s subconscious mind into accepting external information from the hypnotist into thesubconscious, as a hypnotic suggestion, as absolutely true. It is a more powerful implant of informationthan even the subject can usually communicate to themselves with his or her own thoughts.Pacing and leading is a fundamental tool in conversational or covert hypnosis. 42 Normally only what youconsciously know to be true is allowed to pass. If you are a smoker, but tell yourself consciously that you 38 Fraud does not require an express false statement, though subconscious connections to JFK and the like are clearly that. Fraud can also constitute withholding information in some cases, such as when there is a duty to disclose. 39 One article by Peter C. Johnson, describes conversational hypnosis as mind control - http://ezinearticles.com/?Cant-Control- Your-Children?-Learn-Conversational-Hypnosis&id=959004 - While stating it is “not illegal” in his opinion, this example is relating to using it to get your children to do things, and he cannot make a statement on what is legal across a spectrum of variedsituations, including the use of hypnosis to get political support, votes and campaign contributions. 40 Undue influence is “Undue influence, in the sense we are concerned with here, is a shorthand legal phrase used to describe persuasion which tends to be coercive in nature, persuasion which overcomes the will without convincing the judgment. (Estate ofRicks, 160 Cal. 467, 480-482, 117 P. 539.) The hallmark of such persuasion is high pressure, a pressure which works on mental,moral, or emotional weakness to such an extent that it approaches the boundaries of coercion. In this sense, undue influence hasbeen called overpersuasion. Kelly v. McCarthy, 6 Cal.2d 347, 364, 57 P.2d 118.” Odorizzi v.

Thus even you can’t get informationpast your own critical factor.Dr. Erickson discovered that through pacing, a hypnotist could neutralize the filter of a person’s criticalfactor so he can slip suggestions past the critical factor into the subconscious. 43 “Pacing” can be almost any technique by which a hypnotist gets your critical factor to lower its criticalanalysis and scrutiny of the information you are receiving.The “lead” is the new information, suggestion, or command the hypnotist wants to implant.When done effectively, the hypnotist can “lead” – implant suggestions and commands that pass through intoyour subconscious that will be taken as unquestionably true. 44 The lead can be something you are aware ofsuch as a statement you hear, or it can be embedded, hidden, something you are completely unaware ofconsciously, yet still pass through into your subconscious. The word “suggestion” is used in hypnosis, but itis not a suggestion as we think of one, that we consider and rationalize. “Suggestion” in the hypnosis worldis actually a suggestion into the subconscious, something your mind will take as unquestionably true, thus,in effect, more powerful than even a command as we use this term.How pacing is done:Working with our analogy, if many people entering the club are searched by the security guard and nothingquestionable is found, the security guard’s defense efforts become tired, lazy, and lowered. Normallythough, everything in our world is questionable keeping the critical factor sharp and alert. The hypnotistpaces the subject by providing the mind with information that is undeniably true, something the subjectstrongly believes, or is absolutely and immediately verifiable, in successive patterns until the subject’s guardis lowered.This pacing can take the form of almost any information that serves as an accurate representation of thesubject’s current ongoing experience, including what they see, what they hear, what they truly believe, anddescribing or imitating the subject’s conscious experience or even subconscious experience, such as theirbreathing. 45 Breathing is a common pace in hypnosis. Breathing is something conscious when we arefocused on it, but when we do not focus on it, we do not stop breathing, it is simply taken over by thesubconscious mind. Often times, just the mention of “breathing” is sufficient to bring the activity intoconscious focus for seconds or minutes, until such focus is not needed and the subconscious takes over itagain.Pacing can be such as obvious statements the subject truly believes or knows are true, or subconsciousact/messages that the hypnotist does which the subject is not even aware of, e.g. mimicking or describing 43 Killer Influence Secrets of Covert Hypnosis, by David X, Part 144 Killer Influence Secrets of Covert Hypnosis, by David X, Part 1 David X’s educational video, “How to Hypnotize with Covert Hypnosis and Hypnotic Language” See video online, such as at: http://www.revver.com/video/834827/how-to-hypnotize-with- covert-hypnosis-and-hypnotic-language/ Essentially, David X summarizes the conversational hypnosis process as: 1. Capturing focus, 2. bypassing the critical factor/thinking, 3. activating an unconscious or emotional response, (emotionalpeople will not reason) and 4. leading those responses to the outcome the hypnotist desires. 45 Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H. Erickson, M.D. Volume 1, p138 – Pacing, Distraction, and Utilization of the Dominant Hemisphere.

Commonly, the hypnotist describes the experiences, sights, thoughts, and feelings the subject ishaving. 46 This is not just a politician saying what his audience is sure to agree with. The hypnotist purposelydescribes absolute truths on multiple levels related to the subject’s current reality, and thereby tricks thesubject’s critical factor into lowering its guard and gets the subject to accept the hypnotist as a source forinformation to be taken into the subconscious as absolutely true.The brain regularly absorbs representations of the subject’s current ongoing experience, what the subjectsees, hears, feels, as a natural part of communication between the conscious and subconscious mind. Pacingworks by disguising information as part of the subject’s ongoing verifiable experience to trick the criticalfactor into letting that information pass through to the subconscious.By repeatedly providing information to the subject that the subject genuinely believes to be true, thehypnotist disguises himself as a source for absolutely true information acceptable to your subconscious.The hypnotic commands of the hypnotist can be disguised as information being communicated in betweenthe conscious and unconscious mind of the subject. The subject trusts this information believing it isapproved by the conscious mind, and the command slips through the critical factor of one personhypnotized, or millions watching on TV.Unknowingly to the conscious mind, when this happens, the lead, or the new information from the hypnotistis accepted as absolutely true, and becomes part of the subject’s deepest beliefs. 47 Specific examples of Obama using 14 separate hypnotic pacing statements in his Denver 2008 ConventionspeechElementary pacing examples from Obama include, “now is the time”, and “as I stand here before you.”These statements are undeniably true in the simplest terms and commonly used parts of his pacingtechniques, because of course now is the time, and if he is there speaking, of course he is standing before us.These are things the hypnotist says that are verifiably true, and used to lower our critical factor defenses toallow implantation of subconscious messages.Looking at “pacing” statements alone, Obama’s 2008 Democratic National Convention Speech in Denver 48 uses them throughout. Yet, nobody suspects these language patterns to be anything other than an innocentpart of his powerful speech.Three of Obama’s favorite hypnotic paces are “that’s why I stand here tonight”, “now is the time”, and “thismoment.” Just these three pacing statements are used by Obama a total of fourteen (14) times throughoutthis single speech.In this speech, Obama essentially said “as I stand before you tonight” three separate times, around thebeginning, middle, and end of the speech to continue pacing the audience throughout, as follows: 46 Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H.

Because for two hundred and thirty two years, at each momentwhen that promise was in jeopardy, ordinary men and women - students and soldiers, farmers andteachers, nurses and janitors -- found the courage to keep it alive.2. The fundamentals we use to measure economic strength are whether we are living up to thatfundamental promise that has made this country great - a promise that is the only reason I amstanding here tonight.3. But I stand before you tonight because all across America something is stirring. What the nay-sayers don't understand is that this election has never been about me. It's been about you.In the same speech, Obama says “now is the time” six times throughout. While he phrase is apparent, itsounds to everyone like just his power-phrase or theme for the speech.1. Now is the time to end this addiction, and to understand that drilling is a stop-gap measure, not along-term solution. Not even close.2. Now is the time to finally meet our moral obligation to provide every child a world-class education,because it will take nothing less to compete in the global economy.3. Now is the time to finally keep the promise of affordable, accessible health care for every singleAmerican.4. Now is the time to help families with paid sick days and better family leave, because nobody inAmerica should have to choose between keeping their jobs and caring for a sick child or ailingparent.5. Now is the time to change our bankruptcy laws, so that your pensions are protected ahead of CEObonuses; and the time to protect Social Security for future generations.6. And now is the time to keep the promise of equal pay for an equal day's work, because I want mydaughters to have exactly the same opportunities as your sons.It is no coincidence that he happens to use these phrases that are subconscious pacing statements becausethey are immediately and verifiably true by their most simplistic terms, and cause the subconscious toaccept the hypnotist as a source for such absolute truth.Obama also says essentially “this moment” five times, serving the same pacing purpose.1. We meet at one of those defining moments - a moment when our nation is at war, our economy is inturmoil, and the American promise has been threatened once more.2. This moment - this election - is our chance to keep, in the 21st century, the American promise alive.3. You have shown what history teaches us - that at defining moments like this one, the change weneed doesn't come from Washington.4. America, this is one of those moments.5. At this moment, in this election, we must pledge once more to march into the futureNotice how for each instance without exception, he has words before or after “moment” to make itabsolutely immediately and verifiably true, such as “we meet at”, or “this election”, moments “like thisone”, or “this is one of those moments.” The notion that this is all also a coincidence is absurd. This iscarefully crafted hidden hypnotic pacing. And, this is only the beginning.Obama put these 14 pacing hypnotic language patterns into his speech knowing them to be part of ahypnotic trance induction. It is not “just the way he talks” nor “coincidence.” A more detailed play by playanalysis of Obama’s hypnosis techniques in this and other speeches is below.
Page 18
AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 18Obama uses a variety of other statements nobody can disagree with as pacing statements. More simplisticare statements like “we need change 49 ”, “We are the hope of our future,” and “Yes we can.” 50 They arelogically meaningless but they hit a chord, a subconscious chord, especially in younger people, and are hismost powerful words. See the analysis on vagueness and trans-derivation below.However, such pacing statements alone are only a small part of the complex hypnotic trance inductionObama intentionally uses.Embedded and hidden meanings – “deep structure” of language vs “surface structure”Most people do not realize Obama is using hypnosis because everything he does is below the radar – hiddeninside normal speech. 51 There is nothing special about these words or phrases to give them away as“hypnosis.” The general public does not have an understanding of the field, and Obama is hoping that theseexplanations will be too difficult for the general public to understand, and too complex for the media to tryand explain. In fact, Obama is counting on the media to do what it has done for the past few elections –control their coverage to keep the race as close to even as possible until the end, making the story exciting,so that the effects of Obama’s hypnosis triggered in the voting booth will push him over the edge to victory.The communications we are aware of are called the “surface structure” – that is what the subject hears andrealizes. The science of hypnosis requires understanding the “deep structure” of what the subject sees,hears, and experiences – the communication that is designed for our subconscious to receive. our brainsdelete, change, distort, and jumble content on its way to the subconscious mind. Hypnotists speak in amanner to put us into trance, and then intentionally send “deep structure” communications designed for onlyour subconscious minds without conscious awareness. 52 While below is an example of hidden pacing, imbedded commands in all aspects of hypnosis serve thepurpose of making commands to the client indirectly, and thereby avoiding resistance. 53 Indirect suggestionis such a pivotal part of conversational hypnosis, that entire hypnosis practice manuals have been writtenprecisely on indirect suggestion techniques. 54 Obama has used as part of pacing, statements such as “we rise and(or) fall as one nation.” That soundspowerful and true. In fact it is something no one can argue with, as all pacing is. But why the “or fall” partif he is trying to be optimistic? The hidden subconscious effect is that Obama is pacing us in a hidden waywe don’t even realize. 55 Remember, pacing is something that is unquestionably true and is an accurate 49 For “change we can believe in” – the word “believe” is key – it is one of the most powerful words in hypnosis, and a word anchored continually by Obama’s apparently innocent hand gestures. 50 The Illinois senator sprinkles speeches with “we” and “you” – “Yes we can” and “you have done what the cynics said we couldn’t do” – as if he were as much guiding a movement as running for president. How the Candidates’ Speaking Styles Play,By Ariel Sabar | July 11, 2008 edition, http://features.csmonitor.com/politics/2008/07/11/how-the-candidates-speaking-styles-play 51 Killer Influence Secrets of Covert Hypnosis, by David X, Part 1, states how genuinely difficult it is to get caught using covert hypnosis, because without an understanding of the techniques, there is nothing to suggest any element of hypnosis. Often you canonly even detect that hypnosis is being used by the effects, such as irrational actions.

It is not just that the nation rises and falls, but as webreathe, our chest “rises and falls.” 56 We are not aware of it consciously, but with this statement we arebeing subconsciously paced by Obama’s words. 57 Thus, without even realizing it, Obama elicits asubconscious response - us subconsciously increasingly seeing Obama as a source of acceptable absolutetruth.Notice how Obama rarely if ever asks for our vote in his speeches. (or money) After repeated andcontinual pacing an entire audience of millions with statements that are undoubtedly true that lower ourcritical factors’ defenses, Obama just slips in the hypnotic command (the lead) e.g. ...“and that is why I willbe your next President.”The hyper-confidence Obama uses, after having used multiple language patterns to lower rational defenses,is because he must speak in a way that your subconscious mind will have no reason to doubt. This does notraise suspicion because politicians generally have to sound over-confident, e.g. saying they will win. Thereason Obama sounds so hyper-confident with certain language patterns is because he has to in order toinput a command effectively so your subconscious takes it as absolute truth. 58 How Ericksonian “linking statements” mimic the way the brain accepts informationAfter pacing you repeatedly in multiple ways and on multiple levels as described above, and thus loweringyour cognitive critical factor defenses, the hypnotist will implant a “lead” - the command or absoluteunquestionable truth he places in your subconscious. Essentially, the pace or truth is connected to the newhypnotic message or “lead” using connecting or linking language. Paces are connected to the lead throughthe use of the linking words including “and”, “as”, and “because” or “that is why.” 59 The latter linkingwords each being increasingly more powerful than the former, especially the ones containing an element ofcausation, because causation mirrors the way the subconscious mind accepts information. 60 61 62 Saying, for one example: “We need change...and...that is why I will be your next President.” is a basic paceand lead. No person can disagree with “we need change.” Change is inevitable anyway, certainly whenproblems exist. However, the fact that change will happen, or that we need change, has absolutely nothingto do with being a valid reason why the choice for President should be none other than Barack Obama. 56 See Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H.

AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 20Logically there is no connection at all between “change” and whyhe should be President. Same whenObama describes how bad the economy is, and how bad government is, and then follows with “and that iswhy I want to be your next President.” When he has only listed problems, the logical derivative is only thatsomeone who is good at solving those problems should be President. But he has not made any logicalargument as to why it should behim.As a Harvard attorney, Obama knows clearly that his speeches have faulty logic. But the use of these basicwords as hypnotic linking statements in your subconscious, connects an absolute truth you believe deeply,from a (now) trusted source of absolute truths, to a new message that is slipped past the critical factorbecause it comes from the same trusted source, using the fundamental way your brain understandsinformation.The subject walks away believing we need change,therefore we need Obama. It doesn’t matter whether thecause and effect linking statement has any truth or logical connection to it. 63 It works because it linksstatements the subject knows subconsciously to be true, with statements from the hypnotist, that thehypnotist tricks the subconscious mind to believe are connected, and thus also absolutely true at thesubconscious level.Basics of Obama’s pacing and leading: The “because we need change,that is why I should beyour next president” argumentBuilding on this basic framework, you do not hear specifics largely because much of Obama’s entirepresentation is pacing the audience. Obama’s sentence structure is often exactly what is taught by Ericksonin ways that cannot be coincidence. If he went into specifics, he would not be pacing, he would beencouraging the use of the conscious mind, something he is attempting to avoid. Obama’s entire campaign,essentially, can be summarized as:1. The economy is bad, or the country is going in the wrong direction (pace) or we need to get aneducation for every child (whatever statements no one can disagree with (pace) and therefore createsa “yes-yes-yes” response, or “yes room.”) 64 2. Change (can be used as a pace, an anchor, and/or a preprogrammed response)3. And or because or that is why (conjunction linking statement) 65 4. I will be your next President. (subconscious lead)Saying that things are bad and we need change is only a logical basis for the conclusion that we needsomeone able to solve our current problems for President – but the suggestion that the person to do this isObama is rationally under-supported or entirely unsupported. It doesn’t matter though, because theconnection is made on the subconscious level through the use of linking statements applied precisely perEricksonian techniques.Obama says he offers hope, but actually much of Obama’s pacing is negative, e.g. based on how negativethings are. In fact, anger works well as an emotion with which to change behavior through hypnosis.Notice how Obama rarely if ever smiles during the substantive parts within his formal hypnotic speeches. 63 Killer Influence Secrets of Covert Hypnosis, by David X, Part 164 The Power of Conversational Hypnosis, Clifford Mee and Igor Ledochowski , p35/63165 Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H.

His arguments based on his “ability tosee” what is wrong provides no real logical basis. His point is no more advanced nor specific than theaverage listener’s viewpoint. He opposed the war in Iraq in 2003, but so did half the world, logically,making Obama no more qualified than half the planet to be President. However, because he uses pacing andleading so effectively, he says, “because we need change, that is why I want to be your next President” - it isabsorbed into the subconscious as absolute truth. The fact that this argument has no logic is irrelevant tosuch feelings. Similarly, just because Obama powerfully says “its time for new energy and new ideas”doesn’t mean he actually has any new ideas, but through his hypnotic techniques, that’s what people walkaway feeling.Obama’s speeches as one big hypnotic trance induction using extra slow speech, rhythm,tonalities, vagueness, visual imagery, metaphor, and raising of emotionEveryone knows the sensation of hanging on Obama’s every word as he speaks. It is no accident. In fact,Obama intends to speak in such a way that it is almost impossible to listen at all without hanging on hisevery word. His unnaturally slow, rhythmical, four to eight word phrases with huge pauses after, aredelivered to be complete ideas by themselves on some level, even though only part of a sentence orcomplete thought. He is sensitive to exactly how to speak to fixate your attention based on hisunderstanding of hypnosis.Obama’s speeches often use an unnaturally slow language to start. Unnaturally slow speech is a commonhypnotic technique in order to allow the subject time to respond to suggestions, imagine images, and feelsensations conjured by the hypnotist. 68 The unnaturally slow speech holds focus intensely, because themind waits for new input, and is meanwhile left analyzing what it has just heard. Absorbing attention isabout making sure people’s thoughts are what you set out for them. The intense focus of the consciousmind frees the subconscious mind to act beyond normal constraints of what the conscious mind thinks isreal or normal or even proper. 69 Hypnosis is so closely aligned with this super intense focus on a singlething that the study of mesmerism actually almost renamed hypnosis “monoideaism” – mono for one, and 66 See discussion and images below regarding his Democratic Convention Speech for 200867 The Power of Conversational Hypnosis, Clifford Mee and Igor Ledowchowski, p104 of 63168 How To Perform Hypnosis, by: William Hewitt, The Llewellyn Encyclopedia, http://www.llewellynencyclopedia.com/article/225 You do need to give some thought and practice to the pace of your speech. The speech pattern needs to be slow enough to give the subject time to respond to your directions and yet fast enough to retain hisor her attention and interest. If you go too slow, the subject’s mind will most likely wander to other thoughts. You want tomaintain the subject’s attention to your voice. You will find that some people need a faster pace while others need a slower pace.Experience will help you find just the right pace. A pause of two to five seconds is a good average. 69 The Power of Conversational Hypnosis, Clifford Mee and Igor Ledochowski , p33/631

Being hypnotized is enjoyable, reportedly affecting bothserotonin and endorphins in the body. 71 Per the definition of hypnosis by Dr. Ansari, hypnosis is essentially the subject’s fixation of attention, andwhile in that state of hyper-suggestability, receiving a suggestion from the hypnotist. Every type ofhypnotic induction involves a fixation of attention, which is what Obama accomplishes with hisextraordinarily slow and rhythmical and powerful speech pattern, hand gestures, and logo, always presenton his podium, small and barely noticeable (consciously).Hypnotists use a rhythm of phrases of few words, usually approximately four to eight word phrases, almostlike a melody, not just because it holds attention. Such rhythm to be used is taught as part of conversationalhypnosis. 72 The “melody” of words delivered by the hypnotist in almost a music like fashion accesses thenon-dominant hemisphere because that is where music is interpreted. 73 A hypnotist can become a master ofusing rate of speaking, tonalities, and pauses to communicate indirect suggestions. Hypnotists also usetonality and changes in tonality while speaking to hypnotize and send subconscious messages. 74 Based onErickson’s advancements, entire works have been written just on indirect suggestion, hidden meaningswithin language, and communicate of those hidden meanings to only the subconscious mind of the subject. 75 The use of Ericksnian “vagueness” in speech as a linguistic induction tool: “Change” and “Yes we can.”We all know Obama continually uses vague statements without being specific of their meaning, including“yes we can”, and “change.” In fact, he gets audiences to chant them.Remember the three dimensions of Ericksonian trance induction discussed above:1. Pacing and distraction of the dominant (language) hemisphere;2. Utilization of the dominant hemisphere, language processing which occurs below the level ofawareness;3. Accessing of the non-dominant hemisphere;A statement that we hear consciously contains only one surface structure (unless we do a double-take andrealize a secondary meaning). However, one such statement can contain multiple deep structure meaningsto our subconscious. 76 The process by which the mind searches between alternate meanings is called trans- 70 The Power of Conversational Hypnosis, Clifford Mee and Igor Ledochowski , p33/63171 Marshall Sylver, Hypnotist72 The Power of Conversational Hypnosis, Clifford Mee and Igor Ledochowski, p94 of 631, The performance element of hypnosis: Rhythm and tone (regarding using rhythm in conversational hypnosis to be more compelling by being almost music-like) 73 Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H.

The searching through these various meanings is part of what distracts the rational part of themind as part of hypnotic induction, even if we are not consciously aware of our search between differentmeanings. This trans-derivational search occurs below the level of awareness. A vague statementintroduced as part of a hypnotic induction and pacing and leading has multiple functions in facilitatinghypnosis – it makes the subject a participant in the hypnotic process, it makes the subject select betweenalternative meanings thereby ensuring a satisfactory pacing, and depending on the nature of the vagueness,it employs his linguistic (or cognitive) processes with a trans-derivational search for meaning in the vaguestatement. 77 “The unconscious mind responds to openings, opportunities, metaphors, symbols and contradictions.Effective hypnotic suggestion, then, should be "artfully vague", leaving space for the subject to fillin the gaps with their own unconscious understandings - even if they do not consciously grasp whatis happening. The skilled hypnotherapist constructs these gaps of meaning in a way most suited tothe individual subject - in a way which is most likely to produce the desiredchange.” 78 The fact that Obama uses vague statements with which nobody can disagree is not just politics, it is part ofthe linguistic component piece of the puzzle of Obama’s knowing and intentional use of Ericksonianhypnosis techniques.When Obama says “change” is can mean a lot of different things to everyone. He is not specific in what hemeans because then he would lose his pacing of the audience. Obama creates a trans-derivational searchjust by saying the vague word change, allowing that message of change to slip into the subconscious, as acommand, that he has associated with himself in a number of subconscious and conscious ways. People donot rationally desire a change they do not have any idea of what it means. Some of the people want changein this election but cannot explain what Obama will actually do and can’t name anything Obama haschanged in his 46 years are supporting him because his implantation of this hypnotic suggestion of “change”has been effective. partly why he is so frustrated about McCain saying that he, the maverick is the truechange candidate, is because Obama spent all this time programming change, and doesn’t want McCaingetting votes from Obama’s hypnotic programming.Use of visual imagery and imagination as an induction toolVisual imagery, like Obama’s, is a key component of facilitating hypnotic trance induction. 79 Usingmetaphor in hypnosis is especially effective because it engages the conscious and unconscious mind at thesame time, communicating logically while activating imagination and emotion allows the use of “ultra-compelling communications.” 80 Imagination is a powerful hypnotic tool because creativity is an alteredstate of consciousness. 81 77 Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H. Erickson, M.D. Volume 1, staring p 170 – While this discussion discusses mostly language patterns that have secondary meanings which are specific interpretations, the concepts are applicable to allvagueness.

AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 24Together, all three dimensions of Ericksonian trance induction are present, as well as all three means ofhypnotically accessing the non-dominant hemisphere are present in Obama’s speeches (Dr. Erickson’s threeclasses as visualization, melodic accession and linguistic) 82 .Per the Power of Conversational Hypnosis, the four steps to hypnosis are also identical to the principles ofObama’s speech. 1. absorb attention. 2. bypass the critical factor (with pacing) 3. create an unconsciousresponse (the classic one is emotion) and 4. lead the subconscious mind to the desired outcome. 83 An emotional response is an unconscious response. 84 Raising of emotion is a fundamental technique inhypnosis to make the subject more programmable, more effectively, because emotion is a subconsciousreaction, and can be connected to other subconscious elements, including commands. 85 Obama uses a visually, cognitively, and emotionally stimulating language that forces your mind to followslowly by experiencing his phrases, instead of just listening to them. The pauses never get boring like otherpeople who speak slowly, because each phrase by Obama that is only a few words long, is by itselfsufficient to capture your attention, and hold it with thought, or imagination, or an image, until the nextphrase is spoken. Visual and sensory imagery in the hypnotist’s speech is an effective element that uses thesubject’s own imagination while listening to the speech to bring them deeper into trance. 86 Together, every hypnotic element is present in Obama’s speeches, all working together to hypnotize theaudience. You will notice Obama has all of these in his speeches, unnaturally slow language in simplisticphrases which catch and hold your attention, and countless images that grab and hold your imagination,such as “turn the page”, and “a breeze is blowing across this nation,...and change is in the air.” and “writethe next chapter in American history 87 .” “There’s a new breeze blowing across this nation...” 88 The phraseis a visual and hypnotically captivating statement that you cannot disagree with because it makes yoursubconscious associate relaxation, pleasure, and other emotions and your most tranquil moment with hisvoice, preparing you for his following sentence, “and change is in the air.”The stacking of hypnotic language patterns in 40+ minute long speechesThe more a hypnotist paces and leads you, and uses other hypnotic speech patterns in succession, the moreeffective they become at manipulating you because the repetition wears down your critical factor. Doingwhat Obama does once or twice doesn’t do as much, but doing it throughout a speech, and continuouslythroughout a campaign, subconsciously brainwashes you. http://www.hypnosis101.com/stock-metaphor.htm 81 Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H.

AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 25Obama speaks for 40-50 minutes, 20-30 minute longer than most political speeches. Have you everwondered why Obama gives these long 40-50 minute speeches? Probably not, because most people do noteven realize time has gone by. This process of pacing then leading, pacing then leading, again and again, aswell as using other hypnotic language patterns is called “stacking language patterns” (as in, one on top ofthe other) 89 The hypnotist blends the process with embedded commands, anchors, emotional transfers, andother techniques. What occurs is that the critical factor is bored, worn down, gets tired, and stops beingcritical because it is too much work – then, the hypnotist’s effects increase. 90 Obama’s unusual use of hand gestures as subconscious programming and hypnotic anchoringdesigned to be triggered in the voting booth on November 4thWhile most people believe that Obama’s hand gestures as he speaks are meaningless, or innocent emphasisto enhance the presentation, this may be sometimes perhaps to reserve the argument that they aremeaningless, but is not always the case. Sometimes Obama does use his hand gestures simply for emphasisor to help illustrate what he is saying. However, sometimes, his hand gestures are designed to have veryspecific effect under the principles of hypnosis. Obama uses certain hand gestures as hypnotic anchors, andothers to aid in hypnotic command implantation.Anchoring is a hypnosis/NLP 91 technique where the hypnotist programs the subject to respond a certain wayfrom a specific trigger or stimuli. A "hypnotic anchor" is any stimulus that triggers a consistentpsychological state. 92 An anchor is essentially an internal state that is triggered by an external stimulus. 93 An example would be, a hypnotist eliciting a certain response from the subject, whether outward or inward,e.g. emotional, and then the hypnotist doing a certain act (the anchor) which is a touch, or a keyword, orsignal, that the hypnotist associates subconsciously to the response. The hypnotist can then bring about thatresponse just by repeating the anchor. It is similar to how Pavlov would ring a bell whenever he fed hisdogs, and then eventually, his dogs would salivate just from the sound of hearing a bell ring. The hypnotiststirs up feelings or emotions. “When that feeling is at its strongest, “anchor” is by making a gesture. 94 Anchors do not have to be created or triggered by a physical touch, and could be any symbol or gesture thatis a unique association.What is the different between innocent use of hand gestures by Obama and deceptive hypnotic use of handgestures? Obviously, it is Obama’s knowledge of such hypnotic and manipulative effects of certain handgestures, and his intended use of such hand gestures for hypnotic effect. 89 Killer Influence Secrets of Covert Hypnosis, by David X, Part 190 Killer Influence Secrets of Covert Hypnosis, by David X, Part 1-691 Neuro-Linguistic Programming – a way of programming the subconscious mind through language92 ‘Anchors occur throughout all of our sensory channels in a potentially infinite number of ways.

AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 26You may have noticed how Obama holds his thumb and forefinger. Because a gesture is subconsciouslylinked by programming to a response, it must be unique. 95 Obama uses this thumb and forefinger handposition essentially uniquely, differently than all other speakers, and continually, far more frequently thanother speakers who use any similar hand gesture. It was even made fun of on Saturday Night Live.So besides the fact that he has a somewhat unique hand gesture, which he uses more often than otherspeakers, what is the proof that this is part of Obama’s unethical use of hypnosis?Obama uses his thumb and forefinger pressed together as a hidden (deep structure) hypnotic anchor. Healso uses it to deliver hypnotic commands.The evidence it is not an innocent hand gesture e.g. for emphasis, but rather as a hypnotic anchor is thatObama is repeatedly caught using it extraordinarily often and specifically for very specific words andconcepts like “believe”, and “chose.” In fact, often he is caught using certain it for such hypnoticprogramming words more so than at the point of his sentence that he would be emphasizing. Specificexamples are plentiful below.Obama also uses hand gestures to aid in delivery of hypnotic commands, and this is evident from his use ofvery specific hand gestures at very specific times.What is meant by the above two examples, is that while Obama’s hand gestures often are simply foremphasis or to assist visually with his narrative, they are caught repeatedly diverging from this purpose, andfollowing entirely different principles, the principles of hypnotic anchoring and programming.The hand gesture can symbolize anything, and it is possible that Obama’s hand gesture of his thumb andforefinger pressed together symbolizes a “C” for change, money, an infinite (hypnotic) connection betweenhimself and the audience (by pointing with his index finger to the audience repeatedly and then emphasizinga point with his two fingers together, and others.Most likely, because it is a hypnotic trigger, Obama’s thumb and forefinger hand gesture, as shown below,is meant to hypnotically anchor and be triggered by the voter’s own hand holding a pencil, at the votingbooth, or when signing in to vote. This way, the voter would trigger all of the hypnotic programming rightwhen Obama wants it triggered, while voting, for maximum effect. It is actually a very convenient designto have an anchor that looks like almost like an ordinary speech hand gesture, and also looks like theholding of a pen. Obama rarely needs to twist his hand to show you the backside. The image can be aneffective anchor and trigger even if not understood consciously.Obama uses his thumb and forefinger hypnotic anchor in strategic ways. He does this repeatedly and often,programming (anchoring) many messages into your subconscious. The hypnotic anchor that Obama isprogramming you with continually in his speeches is designed so that when you are in the voting boothholding a pen, or sign in your name, and see the same image Obama has been flashing at you throughout hiscampaign, you recall all of the messages he delivered during his speeches as he flashed the hand signal thatconsciously you didn’t even realize were connected. His subconscious messages may influence your votebecause you will be re-enacting what he has been preparing you for by loading that image of you holdingthe pen with his subconscious commands. Even people who did not intend to vote for Obama may do so at 95 There are four keys to anchoring: The intensity of the state; Timing (peak of experience); Uniqueness of the stimulus, including the number of senses used (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, olfactory, gustatory), and; Exact replication of the stimulus, or trigger..” http://www.hypnos.co.uk/hypnomag/valente.htm

It is also effective because a primary message is Obama himself, and Obama has to a certaindegree, anchored himself to the image of your hand as you hold a pen.Obama is also caught loading this hand gesture with very specific concepts, such as JFK, and then pointingthis same hand gesture inward towards himself a moment later, in ways that are clearly no accident, andways in which he does at no other time other than with a concept he expects us to subconsciously associatewith him. 9697 Obama has also anchored and programmed you verbally with imagery for another part of this sameexperience in the voting booth through his clever use of the words “turn the page.” His “turn the pagespeech” hypnotically anchors messages to the idea of literally turning the page, which you do not realizeconsciously, but subconsciously means, e.g., the voting ballot “page.” Thus, holding the pen and holdingthe paper ballot are anchored your subconscious for an experiences that will be recreated when it is time toact he has programmed you to act with multiple subconscious anchors triggered by the same experience inthe voting booth. 98 As far as voting machines where you push buttons, or electronic voting, Obama’s other very common handgesture is pointing and poking, including for example, pointing straight downward and saying “there is nodestiny we cannot fulfill.” 99 Many speakers point occasionally, or on a very strong point, but notcontinuously and strenuously like Obama points. Most have never wondered what he is actually pointing at,or whether there is any rhyme or reason to it, probably assuming it is simply part of his presentation. Infact, Obama’s hand gestures often do symbolize what he is talking about perfectly, so that when he does dosomething hypnotic with his hand gestures, the message is received as having meaning subconsciously thenalso.Obama’s other primary hand gesture tool, pointing, also often has meaning. Pointing sends thesubconscious of the subject the message that a person in authority over them is commanding a certainaction; ordering you to act a certain way and is a textbook part of hypnotic programming when givingcommands of actions the subject is required to take. 100 If Obama said, “I command you to vote for me”, 96 Photo http://weblogs.newsday.com/news/local/longisland/politics/blog/2008/03/obamas_speech_what_did_it_mean.html97 Photo http://www.zimbio.com/Race+Relations/articles/216/Barak+Obama+speech+race+thoughts+economy98 In a blog questioning whether Barack Obama is the anti-christ, bloggers’ reports are described as “Some people have reported Obama appearing in dreams and even mysteriously controlling their actions in the voting booth.” http://timmcnellie.blogspot.com/2008/08/enter-anti-christ.html 99 - which the subconscious mind interprets, because it often deletes negatives, as “we fulfill destiny.”100 The Power of Conversational Hypnosis, Clifford Mee and Igor Ledowchowski, p104 of 631

However, if he does it in a way that you only pick it upsubconsciously, you can’t question it, and can’t reject it. See the analysis below of Obama’s DenverDemocratic National Convention 2008 speech in which he uses this command as he is programming theaudience to vote for him on “November 4 th .”*Obama’s hypnotic command that “a light will shine down from somewhere, it will light uponyou, you will experience an epiphany, and you will say to yourself, ‘I have to vote forBarack’” 101 An example of Obama using both of these hypnotic hand gestures, hypnotic programming followed byhypnotic anchor back to back, in a way that can be nothing other than hypnosisIn this speech by Obama, he is caught giving an overt set of two hypnotic programs back to back. This isprobably one of the most simple to understand proofs of his undeniable use of hypnosis:Perfectly demonstrating both the hypnotic hand gestures explained above is Obama in this sentence.Yes, that’s correct. Barack Obama actually said in a speech once:“a light will shine down from somewhere, it will light upon you, you will experience an epiphany,and you will say to yourself, “I have to vote for Barack”’ 102 It was even made fun of in a McCain ad entitled “The One”, probably without any realization that he wasserious, and actually attempting to use hypnosis 103 In this statement, Obama went too far, too obviously,and was clearly overtly hypnotically programming his audience. Probably, he intended to use statementslike this more often, and probably stopped either because he thought it was too obvious, or because he wasridiculed for this by Hillary and McCain, or both.First, notice how voting for Obama is made absolutely compulsory with the words “have to” – precisely as ahypnotic command. He is not asking for our vote – he is telling us how we will vote.Notice the language “light shining down”, and “it will light upon you” a description of some supernatural(subconscious) force. This statement by Obama leaves no doubt that he is using hypnosis – which amysterious force shining down and causing you to say to yourself obviously is. It leaves no doubt that hismindset is on completely non-logical, but rather mystical/supernatural (subconscious) forces will becompelling people to vote for him. Why would a politician who logically convinces voters ever joke aboutsomething like this? What purpose would there possibly be for any politician ever saying that a mysteriousforce will guide you and you will “have to” vote for me? This is potentially his worst slip up. 101 Video of Obama saying this phrase in this McCain ad http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mopkn0lPzM8102 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mopkn0lPzM8103 See the McCain ad entitled, “The One.” Available, e.g. at www.johnmccain.com Hillary Clinton has also criticized this statement.

He is clearly using a back to back set of hypnotichand gestures while giving this sentence containing overt hypnotic programming to be compelled by amysterious internal voice, taken over by a mysterious force, and to “have to” vote for him.It is clear he was not joking either. Because if he were joking, he would not use any hand gesture asemphasis for the commands of a statement he was not serous about. Let alone two hand gestures. If he usesa hand gesture even for innocent emphasis, that means he is seriously emphasizing the underlying statement,“a light will shine down from somewhere, it will light upon you, you will experience an epiphany, and youwill say to yourself, “I have to vote for Barack”’While this is a caricature of what Obama is doing throughout his campaign, this statement cannot be viewedany other way than an obvious attempt at sending a hypnotic message to voters in the voting booth.Convincing without logic: “The Fierce! Urgency! of Now!” argument (Obama caught anchoring)While giving speeches, Obama often poses to himself the question: “Why are you running so soon? Youcan afford to wait.” 105 He then answers his own question by saying the powerful language “because theFierce! ... Urgency! of ... Now!” First, notice how he posed the question to himself, to give himself anopportunity to use the anchor. It doesn’t make much sense to pose a question to oneself that you then fail tologically answer. He then answers flashing just during those words his unique thumb in forefingeranchoring hand gesture. These words have preprogrammed emotional meaning to all of us, which he withsuch techniques anchors you to recall as you hold the pen and “turn the page 106 ” in the voting booth. 107 104 American heritage Dictionary – Fourth Edition105 Example: Billings, Montana, 1:07pm EST106 See below more detailed discussion of Obama’s preprogrammed hypnotic response use of his famous phrase “turn the page” and

AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 30Watching such gestures in his speeches, they are clearly intentionally designed to coincide for a specifichypnotic purpose, not just innocent emphasis and enhancement.Notice how powerfully saying “the fierce urgency of now” provides absolutely no logical basis for why heshould not accomplish at least something in the senate first, nor any logical argument as to why we shouldelect an inexperienced person. It is effective because he uses causation, by saying “because the fierceurgency of now!” Again, he uses the most powerful causality linking statement “because” (with no logicalvalue) followed by powerful words “fierce” and “urgency” – both of which are not only powerful but haveembedded meaning to each listener, and then he puts his emphasis on “now!” “Now” is not only a powerfulword in hypnosis because it brings the subject’s focus and attention on the present, but, is a command thatthe voter take action “now.” Those in the marketing field know that adding “now” to the end of anycommand, such as “buy this product” “now!” increases sales by measured degrees.Obama caught in subconscious hand gesture linking McCain to BushGiving a speech about healthcare in Raleigh North Carolina, right as Obama mentions Bush and McCain, heslips a barely noticeable double handed gesture with two fingers (the same of each hand) pointing parallel,to suggest to you subconsciously that Bush and McCain are on parallel courses. 108 A primary value of thislittle gesture is critical because it is a slip up, it is obvious. If there is any doubt that Obama is usinghypnosis including hidden hand signals, watching this tape clearly shows him flashing a parallel signalwhich cannot be an accident, right when he mentions Bush and McCain. From the ethical perspective,Obama could make policy arguments and try to convince you logically that he feels McCain will followsimilar policies to Bush. However, Obama apparently feels that he needs to do more to convince you. WhatObama decides to do, is to implant a subconscious image of parallel, which you subconsciously associatewith Bush and McCain, that in many people is the deep psyche source of associating their policies. Whethertrue or not, Obama through this subconscious programming, decided voters should not even be ablelogically analyze or debate the issue, but should simply have the image of parallel implanted without theirconscious awareness to look at Bush and McCain as parallel.Obama caught using one-finger subconscious hand gesture regarding Hillary 109 107 Speech by Barack Obama in Billings, Montana, “the fierce urgency of now”, around 1:07pm EST “why are you running so soon, can afford to wait, ruining now “because of the fierce urgency of now” and he flashes the thumb and forefinger togetherexactly for that sentence in a way that cannot be accidental. 108 Barack Obama in speech, Raleigh North Carolina June 9, 2008 ~1:40m EST109 http://weblogs.newsday.com/news/local/longisland/politics/blog/givefinger.jpg

AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 31Obama was caught doing this. While pretending to be innocently scratching, he was caught giving thissubconscious signal regarding Hillary, with his middle finger. 110 This alone might be excused as anaccident, but in combination with everything else, is clearly another piece of the puzzle. Like the “lightshining down” statement discussed later, like his logo, like the “lipstick on a pig”, and all of his other slip-ups, it also gives you some insight into Obama’s true character. Further proving that this Hillary gesturewas not an accident, see Obama’s similar gesture regarding McCain discussed directly below.Obama caught in another undeniable subconscious hand gesture regarding McCainEven after Obama’s Hillary gesture above was caught by the media, he didn’t stop. On WednesdaySeptember 17, 2008 at around 2:56pm EST in a televised speech in Nevada, Obama made some remarksabout terrorism, then the economy. Shortly after Obama began to discuss John McCain, with his right handhe apparently reached up to scratch the top of his head, then again scratch the top side of his head. AsObama pulled his hand away, he clearly flashed the “L” symbol with his hand (thumb and fingerperpendicular), which to many young people, is the symbol for “loser.” He did it as he was mocking howbad John McCain was on the economy. This was no accident. It is unusual for someone like Obama withsuch perfect body language to have to scratch in the middle of a speech anyway. (without doing a handgesture which insults his opponent) It is even more unusual for someone to have to scratch in two differentplaces as he did. When watching this video, it is clear that he was pretending to scratch as an intentionaldiversion to slip in the subconscious message. He even appeared to hesitate to be sure to “pull it off”inconspicuously. It was intended to be a subconscious message to millions of people, to associate the“loser” symbol with John McCain. This act was designed to take away votes from John McCain not withany logical explanation of policy differences, but with messages to an unaware audience - messages to oursubconscious that we are not intended to question the correctness of.To those who think this may have been accidental or coincidence, watch the video of Obama on 8.4.2008,where Obama gives a speech discussing John McCain’s economics. When Obama says “McCain” in thesentence “Senator McCain has been eager to share some of his plans” – notice Obama again flashes the “L”symbol with his hand.PART 3 – WHAT OBAMA IS EXACTLY DOING – SPECIFIC SPEECHES “PLAY BYPLAY”This Part 3 is the primary analysis of the document. The quotes herein are taken uncut from Obama’sspeeches. Readers and experts are encouraged to confirm this analysis by watching these videos firsthand,and seeing that the language patterns, manner of speaking, and timing of hand gestures prove undeniably thepoints raised in this document. All of these videos are available online and example links are provided inthe footnotes. The times, minute:second (3:16 means 3 minutes 16 seconds) are measured per the videoscited. While these are only a few examples, close examination of most or all of Obama’s major speechesunder expert scrutiny will likely be found to contain hypnotic tactics throughout.As evidence of Obama’s use of hypnosis, he generally doesn’t do these hypnotic techniques and handgestures as much when he gives impromptu speeches that are not prewritten. Obama’s hypnosis issomething he carefully crafts, plans for, and rehearses. Town halls with impromptu questions do not lendthemselves to be a forum for Obama’s hypnosis, and that may part of why he has avoided town halls with 110 http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/04/obamaflipsoffcl.html

AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 32John McCain.Obama’s California Democratic Convention speech 2007 111 - a “play by play” of hisundeniable use of embedded commands, hypnotic induction, and hypnotic storytellingEmbedded suggestions are messages within other messages, in which while the conscious mind is receivingone message (the surface structure), the subconscious is receiving another, thereal message. This can bedone a number of ways, including by change in tone, or pauses, even ones so subtle the audience is notconsciously aware of it, such as a split second pause or breath by the hypnotist at a specific time. 112 Pauses during speech and changes in tonality and in emphasis are a primary technique of conversationalhypnosis. 113 This is because you can say one sentence, and buried within it is another word or phrase withanother meaning. A pause in speaking by the hypnotist, even is only for a split second, even if you are noteven consciously aware of it, can turn that hidden meaning into a subconscious command because it isisolated, and emphasized in the subconscious. The subconscious mind does not interpret and analyze as theconscious mind does, and often many words are removed “deleted” from what you experience, and onlyspecific portions fall through to the subconscious mind.His statement is heard by the audience in one way,but subconsciously received another way, the way actually intended by Obama.Obama performs an undeniable Ericksonian hypnotic induction: Obama’s “Turn the Page” Speech at theCalifornia Democratic Convention in 2007. 114 Note: While there are many examples and play by plays which are undeniable evidence of Obama’shypnosis. carefully reviewing and understanding just this analysis of this part of this speech leaves littledoubt of Obama’s intentional use of hypnosis.One journalist describes Obama’s turn the page speech as having “had the California DemocraticConvention spellbound for 23 minutes.” 115 Seeing the analysis below of just the first paragraph of thisspeech explains why his audience was in a spell from the very beginning.Obama began his speech: (notes added)“It has now been a little over two months (pause) since we began (pause) this campaign for thePresidency. (pause) In that time we have traveled all across this country. (pause) And before everyevent we do (pause), I usually have a minute to sit quietly and (pause) collect my thoughts. (pause)And recently, I’ve found myself (pause) reflecting on (pause) what it was that led me (different tone,and thumb and forefinger anchor for “me”) to public service in the first place.” 111 Barack Obama’s speech to California Democratic Convention, 2007, available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZUXhCW-OGM 112 See a thorough discussion of embedded commands starting page 172 of Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H.

AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 33First, notice how much Obama uses storytelling in his major speeches, especially at the beginning of nearlyall of his speeches. Storytelling is a primary hypnotic tool because it employs images, metaphor, theimagination, rhythm, makes us feel like children, and takes us to another time and place so the mind tellsitself “it is only a story” and allows it to pass into the subconscious. 116 However, this is just the beginning.Obama tells a hypnotic story to start this speech with his ultra-slow speaking style with huge pauses after 4-8 word concepts, to force you to hang on his every word.But this is only a small part of the proof that he is intentionally using hypnosis.The key is, that the story he is telling is a story about a “trance theme.” In one of the most popularconversational hypnosis courses available online, the Power of Conversational Hypnosis, the first principletaught in how to use hypnotic stories, is exactly what Obama does in this paragraph. This primary techniqueis to “Use Simple Stories About Trance Themes”, or in other words, tell stories about processes which arehypnotic, such as per the examples given, relaxing on a holiday or being fascinated by a film. 117 Obama follows precisely this technique in telling a simple story in slow hypnotic rhythm about himself“sitting quietly”, “collect his thoughts”, and finding himself “reflecting.” Hypnotic stories use embeddedsuggestions so that while in trance and you believe something is happening to a character in the story, inreality the story is about you, implanting messages in your subconscious. 118 The story requires you to useyour imagination, and then the only way to understand the story is to imagine the themes Obama ispresenting. 119 Obama’s first storytelling language pattern about a trance theme is “Sit quietly” – also a pacing statementbecause everyone in the audience is sitting quietly. The story is, as taught by this course, “isomorphic” inthe sense that the story precisely mirrors what is happening with the subject e.g. sitting quietly. 120 Then, itis also an embedded command, because when someone sits quietly, something they have rehearsed manytimes throughout their lives, because external stimuli are absent, sitting quietly makes someone’s thoughtsturn inward or internally – as in trance. Notice how the story is in past tense, but the trance theme(command) comes out in present tense.Notice how Obama puts the focus on this word “quietly” with the pause afterward, to use it as a hypnoticmessage, as the silence emphasizes the last word spoken. His pause after “sit quietly” also serves anotherpurpose. (Even though he says “and” after “quietly”, there is a substantial pause there.) It is also a pace inthe manner that Obama says the word “quietly ...and”, and for a brief second there is silence afterward. Heis in fact making his statement about quietness an absolute immediately verifiable truth, because he makes ittrue by pausing, and finds a way to pace you in yet another way. The more different ways he can pace theaudience on different levels, the more effective it is.Obama’s second storytelling language pattern about a trance theme is “collect my thoughts.” Though 116 The Power of Conversational Hypnosis, Clifford Mee and Igor Ledochowski, “How to Destroy Resistance With Stories” p244 – discussion of how “it’s just a story” and mind goes on “automatic pilot.” 117 The Power of Conversational Hypnosis, Clifford Mee and Igor Ledochowski, “How to Destroy Resistance With Stories” p245118 The Power of Conversational Hypnosis, Clifford Mee and Igor Ledochowski, “How to Destroy Resistance With Stories” p245- 246, and see discussion how Dr. Erickson used a story about a tomato plant feeling good to in fact make the patient feel good. 119 Your subconscious interprets the story and applies it to you, even though Obama tells the story as if it were him speaking innocently about himself. As a basic hypnosis example, I can say “don’t think of a black cat” – in order to understand themessage, you have to think of the cat – it doesn’t matter that I say “don’t.” 120 The Power of Conversational Hypnosis, Clifford Mee and Igor Ledochowski, “How to Destroy Resistance With Stories” p246
Page 34
AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 34Obama says it from his perspective, to make sense of it, and because of his pacing, your subconscious alsohears it as collect “my” thoughts, and thus the minds of everyone in the audience is commanded to becomemore in depth into each’s own thoughts, and go deeper into trance. Notice again this story about pastactions is again delivered in present tense.Obama’s third storytelling language pattern about a trance theme is “I’ve found myself reflecting.” It workssimilarly. The pause after “myself”, and then again after “reflecting” cause the audience’s subconsciousmind to pick up on these commands. Thus Obama uses this as a command for all listeners to collect theirthoughts (as in hypnotic focus) 121 and be reflecting (essentially focus on another deeper level). Notice againhow he starts out telling the story in the past tense, but then says “reflecting” in the present progressive tenseto be a command for his audience to do what they are doing now.The course on conversational hypnosis is not the only source to say such language has specific tranceinduction effect. See also Dr. Erickson’s discussion of use of words like “reflecting”, and how a hypnotistwill construct sentences using the internal states consistent with a human being undergoing trance induction(e.g. wondering, learning, thinking, feeling, remembering, recalling, experiencing). 122 Obama then directs this focus. Obama says “reflecting on (what it was that led)me” While the sentencecontinues, the hypnotic message is for the audience to “be reflecting on me” (Obama). Obama’s emphasisand use of a different tonality for the word “me” is undeniable – it can clearly be heard when one is listeningfor it. When not consciously focused on that emphasis, it is just heard by the subconscious. After beingpaced by three separate stories with trance themes, delivered in hypnotic slow speech, the subconsciousmind is waiting for clues about what to be so focused on and reflecting on, and surely enough, Obama tellsour subconscious minds, “me.” Because he is speaking, the message is actually to focus not only on him,but his voice.Then, perfectly timed, at the same moment Obama says the word “me”, he flashes his thumb and forefingerhand gesture, his classic anchoring tool.Watching this tape – it is amazing, yet undeniable. Obama is not just using a subliminal message. He isknowingly and intentionally performing a clinical Ericksonian hypnotic induction and putting his audiencetrance.Obama has hidden undetectably in normal-sounding speech what a hypnotist would do to start an inductionby saying “sit quietly, begin to internalize your thoughts, collect your thoughts, reflect, and focus on the meand the sound of my voice.” 123 He is talking to your subconscious mind, preparing it for deeper inductionand programming, while you think he is just telling you stories. Then, for the rest of the speech, yoursubconscious mind will be receptive to messages on this level that you wont even be aware of.Look at how cleverly Obama disguises this induction as him simply telling you a story about himself sittingquietly and reflecting. Logically, there is no reason why Obama would be talking about himself sittingquietly and reflecting. Yet, you would never notice this unless you understood the science behind it. By no 121 Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H. Erickson, M.D. Volume 1, p137 focus as a key to hypnotic induction.122 Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H. Erickson, M.D. Volume 1, p214, Use of these words as part of an ill-formed sentence, as a means of ensuring successful pacing of a client’s experience.(ill-formed here because Obama says “recently foundmyself” – a play on words the literal meaning of which is ill formed – as one cannot lose or find themselves. 123 Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H. Erickson, M.D. Volume 1, p17, the most basic pacing and induction example given is “as you sit there, listening to the sound of my voice.”
Page 35
AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 35astronomical coincidence could Obama simply happen to be telling an irrelevant story which just happenedto innocently contain three separate hypnotic trance induction themes in precisely this way, with pausesafter each, with such an emphasis on the word “me” in conjunction with his unique hand gesture for thisword. Let alone a story allegedly about past experiences that somehow ends up with each trance themebeing delivered in the present tense. There is no logical reason why he would have pauses after the concepts“sit quietly”, “collect my thoughts”, and “reflecting on” because those aren’t (supposedly) the ends of theidea nor the sentence. Unless, that is exactly what he wants! There is no logical reason why he would placean unnatural emphasis on the word “me” – nor reason to use any hand gesture precisely for this word. Whatelse watching this tape a few times also shows, is that Obama is a pro. He performs this so smoothly andcomfortably, that he is clearly well rehearsed, and an expert.Obama caught intentionally controlling pace in obvious attempt to maintain tranceAs additional evidence that Obama purposely places and keeps his audience in trance, he is here caughtcontrolling the tempo of his speech to make sure everyone is kept in trance. He says at 5:30 124 “Why wouldyou want to go into something dirty and nasty like politics?” Then, he realizes he is speaking too fast, andhe may not be properly leading everyone in the trance he is inducing, so to ensure he has everyone in trance,he repeats the sentence, slower, much slower, and with an extra extra long pause before “politics.” Thesecond time he says, “Why would you want to go into...(huge pause to slow down the audience mentallyand slow them down to his unnaturally slow rhythm) ...politics.” He does this to make sure he does notspeak so quickly as to lose the trance he is putting his audience into. This act, obvious on video, clarifiesthe difference between a person who just happens to be a good speaker who may have some innocent tranceeffect on some, and someone who knowingly and intentionally makes sure he has everyone in trance as hespeaks. Watching this video, it is clear Obama knows exactly what he is doing.While there is too much to analyze every hypnotic aspect of such complex speeches, this speech is a rollercoaster ride of raising emotion, slow accelerating to fast, moderate volume leading to loud, and at each peakof the emotional highs he creates, he anchors the emotion he has raised to his “turn the page” languagepattern.Occasionally an interesting concept can be caught, for instance this tidbit: At one point when Obama talksabout “parting of the sea”, his corresponding hand gesture is not one of the sea parting with his palmsturning upward, but of pushing apart downward the water palms down, as if he were himself g-d parting thewater. Perhaps accidental, or perhaps an intentional small part of some larger themes and conceptsdiscussed below, connected to the reason why people like Nancy Pelosi make some strange comments, e.g.referring to Obama as “sent by g-d”, and other people refer to Obama as the Messiah. The frightening partis, if Obama is doing this intentionally, he either wants to send the subconscious message that he is themessiah, or he actually believes that he is. More on this later.Obama’s speech Tuesday after primaries ended June 3, 2008 125 – undeniable evidence of 124 5 minutes and 30 seconds into the start of the speech per the video used for analysis.125 Remarks of Senator Barack Obama: Final Primary Night, Date: 06/03/2008, Location: St. Paul, MN, video available at http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=obama+speech+St.+Paul+&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&sa=N&tab=wv&oi=property_suggestions&resnum=0&ct=property-revision&cd=2#

AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 36Obama’s use of hypnotic principles of anchoring, deletion, distraction, and leadingObama, also began his speech on the Tuesday night after Primaries were over with an undeniable hypnoticinduction, using the paragraph below.First he said, in his ultra-slow speech with huge strategic pauses, “after fifty four (pause) hard foughtcontests (pause) our primary season has finally come to an end.” – A pace for which he got tremendousapplause. Then, Obama continued:“Sixteen months have passed (pause) since we first stood together on the steps of the Old StateCapitol (pause) in Springfield, Illinois.(pause) Thousands (pause) of miles have been traveled.(paused) Millions of voices have been heard. (pause) And because of what you said (pause) becauseyou decided that change must come to Washington (pause); because you believed (pause) that thisyear must be different than all the rest (pause); because you chose (pause) to listen not to yourdoubts or your fears (pause) but to your greatest hopes and highest aspirations (pause), tonight wemark the end of(pause) one historic journey (pause) with the beginning of another (pause) – ajourney (pause) that will bring a new and better day to America. (pause) Because of you (pause)tonight, I can stand here and say that I will be (pause) the Democratic nominee (pause) for Presidentof the United States of America.”The analysis below explains what Obama is really doing, and what message your subconscious mind isactually receiving and why.First, again the unnaturally slow speech as discussed, which forces you to hang on his every word, creatingfocus. Notice how his pauses are designed to have you reflect and ponder, and have your mind wanderduring each pause. As your mind wanders, his words echo in the subconscious mind while your consciousmind is left hanging. This technique is designed to strain your critical factor’s efforts until it gets tired, andbegins to tune out, leaving your subconscious mind in his hands, unprotected.While he starts out ultra-slow, his plan is to guide you by slowly accelerating his speech to the point wherehe increases volume, raises emotion, and delivers the lead. This is almost like how a horseracing announcerstarts out speaking slow when the horses take off from the staring gate, and by the final stretch he is yellingand speaking very rapidly. Just like how a horserace announces builds excitement in his audience topromote the emotion-charged intensity and betting. It is not accidental. It is done and learned and rehearsedto manipulate us. He brings the listeners into trance with this process. Subconsciously, the raising of rate ofspeech, volume, and emotion send the message that all of the before is building up to his grand finale of theparagraph, the lead, e.g. that he will be President. However, while a horseracing announcer does it once perrace, Obama in his speeches repeats this roller coaster again and again while combining it with complexhypnotic pacing and leading, anchoring, and other manipulative subconscious techniques. Therepetitiveness is also hypnotic. 126 This is all part of the hypnotic trance induction.Again, like all of Obama’s major speeches, he starts off from the beginning using hypnotic storytelling.Storytelling e.g., of standing on the old steps together, traveling thousands of miles, having heard millions also: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-9183467268654370243&ei=u77jSIS0ApHqqAOqrNCXCw&q=obama+speech+St.+Paul+&vt=lf 126 The Power of Conversational Hypnosis, Clifford Mee and Igor Ledochowski

It is not only magically captivating, but as discussed, is a textbook hypnosis induction. 127 Itmakes your conscious mind imagine things and drift off to another time and place using imagination – analtered state of consciousness and fundamental tool of hypnosis. 128 Listening to this, you have no option butto strain your conscious mind trying to figure out what comes next, while using your imagination to followalong through his images and stories. This helps bring the usually protected subconscious mind to theforefront, making it vulnerable.He not only forces you to focus, and asks you to use imagination, but he has you count numbers, e.g.,“sixteenmonths”, “thousands of miles”, “millions of voices heard.” Firstly, “one of the techniquesemployed by hypnotists in inducing or deepening a trance state in a client is that of having the clientcount.” 129 Now here is where it gets really interesting. Obama uses the following key hypnosis technique, now hisfourth separate and distinct fundamental hypnosis technique in just his first paragraph. He applies adominant hemisphere distraction technique precisely as taught by Erickson’s three dimensions ofhypnosis. 130 Distraction is a common and fundamental technique in hypnosis in which the dominanthemisphere is distracted by the language its job is to process. The dominant hemisphere is sent on anassignment using the linguistic processes and imagination. The critical factor is thus occupied, to make thenon-dominant hemisphere and subconscious more susceptible to suggestion. 131 Here is how it works. He asks you to imagine sixteen months, so you do. You follow where the storytellertakes your mind and so you try to imagine thousands of miles, and continue following along where he leadsyou. However, the conscious mind cannot imagine a million voices, the number is too big 132 , thoughObama tricks you with the first two numbers into trying, by leading you down a path of increasinglydifficult concepts to imagineconsciously. Notice how cleverly he leads you down a path which causes thedominant hemisphere to be distracted, and tune out of trying to do exactly what he is asking you to do.Your mind tries to imagine a million and is distracted, sent off on an assignment it can’t perform, tuning out,and exposing your subconscious mind. This is a calculated and pre-scripted hypnotic induction technique,and the only specific and logical explanation that makes any sense for what he is saying. Does this seem abit too unlikely to be coincidence? What other purpose for this could there be for this language to bedelivered exactly this way? What is he even talking about? 127 There are four chapters on Hypnotic Storytelling in Conversational Hypnosis, The Power of Conversational Hypnosis, Clifford Mee and Igor Ledochowski, “How to Destroy Resistance With Stories” as well as a cheat sheet on using hypnotic storytelling tobreak resistance. 128 Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H. Erickson, M.D. Volume 1, p60, Inquiry with Aldous Huxley129 Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H. Erickson, M.D. Volume 1, p187130 Erickson’s three dimensions are: Pacing and distraction of the dominant (language) hemisphere; 2. Utilization of the dominant hemisphere, language processing which occurs below the level of awareness; 3. Accessing of the non-dominanthemisphere; 131 Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H. Erickson, M.D. Volume 1, p13 – “[Erickson’s] overall strategy while conducting trance inductions appears to have these three dimensions. 1) pacing and distraction of the dominant (language)hemisphere; 2) Utilization of the dominant hemisphere, language processing which occurs below the level of awareness; and 3)Accessing of the non-dominant hemisphere.” See also, p137, “The induction of the altered state of consciousness called trancerequires and implies the distraction and/or utilization of what Milton calls the conscious mind.” 132 One cannot imagine all the grains of sand on a beach individually. you can imagine a lot of them, or the beach, but the conscious mind cannot process numbers of that size.

AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 38Then, right after the distraction, notice the causality linking statements, FIVE of them, back to back,“because of what you said...because you decided change must come to Washington...because you believedthat this year must be different...because you chose to listen to your doubts not your fears...because ofyou” - all pacing and leading techniques with the causation already embedded, with the paragraph endingwith the words “President of the United States” as theeffect brought about by all those “becauses,” therebybecoming subconsciously linked. The most powerful linking statement “because” according to Dr. Ericksonand every covert hypnotist cited in this document, is used not once, but five times, connecting Obama’sconcepts to the lead, not that he is the democratic nominee, but “President of the United States,” the onlywords of that sentence he can be seen using pointing down hand gestures for. This is something nobodywould never notice without an understanding of pacing, leading, and causality linking statements, but nowthat it is pointed out it certainly seems more than odd that he is using the word “because” so obtrusively.Why would anyone set up sentence structure for any concept this way? (Because A, because B, because C,because D, because E,...therefore X) Concepts are never set up to be communicated this way. It is toodifficult to follow and impractical, and there is no purpose for it. Not unless one had a very specific purposefor using the word “because.”Now let’s look at his use of hypnotic programming words: “decided”, “believed”, and “chose.” (otherhypnotic programming words include “realize”, “know”, “understand”, and so on.) These are hypnoticprogramming words because instead of convincing you rationally until you actually decide, or believe, orchoose, the hypnotist simply puts you in trance, distracts your dominant hemisphere, and implants thecommand into your subconscious. He hypnotizes you and simply tells you that you chose, that you believe,that you decided. Implantation of this word is more powerful than hours and hours of convincing yourationally. It is neither simply presumptuous nor coincidence that he is telling you what you decided,believed, and chose. So these words stand out in your mind, he places the most minute emphasis on“decided”, then a much larger emphasis on and pause after “believed”, and then a huge emphasis on andpause after “chose.” Some of these concepts are in the past tense, and that is also effective, sometimes evenmore so, because telling us prior our mind states may make them even deeper.Obama uses “because” before each of these programming words because you must accept the premise inorder to be able to follow the concept to the end and understand it. That’s why starting with five separate“because”s leading to one later “therefore” does not other than hypnotically make good communicationstructure. Because normally it tries to get you to accept precursor concepts before you even know what theyare connected to - before you even know what the alleged actual concept being communicated is.Now let’s look at the pacing used in this same paragraph. “Tonight Minnesota” is a pace, because it istonight, and he is in Minnesota. “Primary season has finally come to an end” is a pace because it isobviously true. Standing together and voices heard may help pace the audience because that is what theyare doing literally, standing there and hearing the voices of the crowd. “You decided change must come toWashington” is a pace, because it is something we all know is needed – almost nobody can disagree withthat. However, when you accept that, the hidden meaning to accept is that Obama should be President.“This year must be different than all the rest” is a pace, because literally every year is different. When youaccept that, you also accept his hidden meaning, that this year will be different because Obama will becomePresident. “I can stand here and say” is again a literal pace because he is standing there and sayingsomething.Also notice how, because of the five “because”s, he not only connects these concepts to the lead, butconnects these concepts to each other. Starting with a literal pace, he connects standing there hearingvoices, to wanting change to come, to this year being different, which he connects subconsciously toyourgreatest hopes and highest aspirations, to back again to another literal pace, the fact that he is standing there
Page 39
AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 39saying something. He doesn’t even need to know what your greatest hopes and highest aspirations are, andhe doesn’t even need to care. He has linked your greatest hopes and highest aspirations, no matter whatthey are, as sure as he is standing there speaking, to him being the President of the United States. That’show hypnosis works. it doesn’t get you to believe, it tricks your subconscious mind into accepting the word“believe.”Now let’s look at his perfectly timed hand gestures for the same paragraph. His hand gestures with his righthand give essentially the same thumb and forefinger hand gesture starting precisely at the words “believe(that this year should be different than all the rest)”, and “chose.” He does not, however, do this handgesture, if it is truly for innocent emphasis, for what you normally think he would, the alleged message, e.g.“change must come to Washington”, not for “greatest hopes and highest aspirations”, nor for “a new andbetter day for America”, nor does he do that gesture for “I will be the democratic nominee.” While he usesthis hand gesture at some other parts, from the beginning, he doesn’t use them at all until, and then primarilyfor “believe”, and “chose.” Then, as he says “democratic nominee” his hands appear motionless form thisvideo, and he emphasizes and points downward for the word “President.”Now we look at “deep structure” – how the audiences’ subconscious minds might interpret the sameparagraph as delivered by Obama. 133 Under the fundamental hypnotic principles of “deletion”, “distortion”,and “generalization”, the mind alters the content it receives as it goes into the subconscious. – A translationwhich is used and planned for by hypnotists. 134 While your critical factor is distracted and captivated deeplyby Obama’s trance, the same paragraph, to your subconscious, may be received something like this: [this isone possible translation with partial analysis added]“we standtogether ...my voice is being heard...because you said...becauseyou decided thatchange must come...becauseyou believed [anchor] this year must be different than all therest...becauseyou chose [anchor] to listen [trance theme in storytelling]your greatest hopes andhighest aspirations...we bring a new and better day...TonightI canstand here andsay [pacing] Iwill be the Democratic nominee [no visible hand gestures on the video] ‘thePresident of the UnitedStates’” [Pointing hand gestures downward (as if on a touch screen or push button voting) commandgesture]Also notice yet another distraction technique – rhyme. He rhymes I willbe with the democratic nominee – adistraction technique which again distracts the linguistic processing part of the mind, as he points downwardand says “President!”An apparently innocent yet powerful paragraph on the surface structure, is actually intended to be receivedas clear commands to feel as one with Obama and hear his voice. He programs into you that you havealready chosen, you have already decided, and you already believed. Before your conscious mind can say“wait, did I decide that?” he rewards you by conjuring up your own feelings “greatest hopes and highestaspirations.” Then, the “because”s come together for the lead, with hand gestures, “President.”By reviewing Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H. Erickson, M.D. Volume 1, as well as otherworks on Ericksonian hypnosis, one may see a more detailed discussion of “deletion”, “generalization”, and 133 Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H. Erickson, M.D. Volume 1, p165, discusses how a single surface structure communication can have not only different, but multiple “deep structure” representations to the subconscious mind. 134 A subconscious deletes parts of communication that it does not understand or are incomplete. For example, “It seemed like an impossible task” – since it is unclear to whom it seemed impossible, there is no way for the subconscious to comprehend themeaning of it, so all that the subconscious takes away from this sentence is “task.”

AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 40“distortion.” 135 Now one might argue that half of this is coincidence, and the other half is just him being a great andpowerful speaker. But let’s look at it. Why would he speak so slowly? We know he speaks faster ininterviews and debates – why speak so slowly in speeches? What about the acceleration of his rate ofspeech to the lead? Why such storytelling? Why the exorbitant use of visualization and imagination?...Which lead the audience down a path of imagining things until asking the imagining of something thatcan’t be consciously imagined? Why the five “because”s and why the unusual message structure fromsomeone who speaks so well? Why the hyper- confidence for specific words like “decided”, “chose”, and“believe” with pauses after each one when they are not supposed to be the end of neither the sentence northe idea? Why the hyper-arrogance for “greatest hopes and highest aspirations?” Why the repeated statingof the obvious and undeniable “I stand here tonight?” (used in all his speeches) Why no hand gesture for“democratic nominee”- why only for “President? And finally, how come all of these “coincidences” can allbe explained by a single reason – all under the principles of hypnosis?...Which causes exactly the type ofmesmerized effect everyone admits they have from him?Obama caught delivering another powerful hypnotic commandNot every hypnotic technique of Obama in this speech is discussed herein – only a few examples are listed.Notice his anchor at 9:17 of the word (independents and republicans who) “understand.”Notice his extraordinarily long pauses after “change” 9:20 and 9:28.At 9:55, Obama slips in a powerful hypnotic command. A moment after he can clearly be seen anchoring itwith a hand gesture.At 9:55, Obama says,“All of you chose (notice the different tone and volume and microsecond pause after chose) tosupport a candidate you believe indeeply. (pause) ”No, it is not simply presumptuous or arrogant to tell his audience that they “believe in him” “deeply.”Again, it is hypnotic programming.First, he uses “chose” to program our subconscious minds that our conscious minds have already analyzedand made a decision. Again, the same hypnotic programming word he used in his opening paragraphdiscussed in the above example. If effective, this programming can even override our conscious knowledgethat we haven’t in fact chosen. We will simply believe that we have chosen, and simply choose Obama. Ashe speaks the word “chose”, while your critical factor is analyzing whether in fact you chose any such thing 135 Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H. Erickson, M.D. Volume 1, Starting p 7, discussion of how models of the world we create differ from reality, then, on p 20, “One of the most powerful of these linguistic modeling techniques is deletion,the case in which a portion of the meaning of the sentence (the Deep Structure) has no representation in Surface Structure...”Under complex deletion principles, the audiences minds filter out certain aspects of the speech, and such speeches are designed byhypnotists to have certain parts deleted, to communicate to implant the real message into the subconscious, hidden in the speech,the content of the speech is largely to distract the conscious mind, to make the remainder, the commands, be implanted into thesubconscious more effectively. See a thorough discussion of deletion from p 159. (See also discussion of generalization anddistortion of language in deep structure)

AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 41and what you might have chosen and is distracted 136 , Obama uses the other hypnotic programming word“believe” (also discussed above), and he ends the sentence with “a candidate you believe indeeply.” He isnotasking us to believe in him by any means. He is implanting the hypnotic command into a hypnotizedaudience that they already “chose.” Then, he is compiling the command by programming the audience withthe utmost “hyper” confidence that they “believe in (him)deeply.” The reason he sounds so confident isbecause he is inputting a hypnotic command. Notice the pause after to allow “deeply” to sink in.Let’s look at this phrase again:“All of you chose to support a candidate you believe indeeply.”When thinking about this language carefully, it becomes clear how unusual it is. A candidate may say“thank you for believing in me”, or “please believe in me”, or might say in any number of ways that hissupporters believe in him. But to simply say as if it were fact “you believe in me” is unprecedented. If hedidn’t use hypnosis, people would stop and say “no we don’t”, or “who are you to tell us what we believe.”However, people are so entranced, it slipped past everyone. And how odd is it that a candidate would say“all of youchose” and then refer to himself as a candidate “you believe indeeply.” This is beyondpresumptuous, and beyond any confident political speak. He is not saying he will be President. He istelling us what we “believe.” He is telling us what we believe as though it is fact. He is telling ussomething he could never know, as though it is fact. This is a fundamental of hypnotic programming, thathe does not convince the rational mind with logical basis, he simply puts the subject into trance, and literallytells them what they believe. And, he says we “believe” this “deeply.” People don’t speak like thataccidentally about others’ feelings. 137 This is all unacceptable as either arrogance, political confidence, orcoincidence. Especially the word “deeply” a word that does not even require explanation to sound likehypnotic programming. This is a slip up that he got away with. It is hypnosis commands intentionallybeing laid by Obama in the subconscious minds of the audience.Notice again the hypnotic programming words “chose”, “believe”, the same ones that were analyzed earlierat the beginning of this same speech, again, back to back, this time, in the same sentence. He was clearly inthe same train of thought as he was while drafting the earlier part of this speech.Then Obama anchors to himself this concept of believing in this candidate deeply. Then, a moment rightafter he says “deeply” (it needn’t be simultaneous 138 ), in his next sentence he does his thumb and forefingerhypnotic anchor, and points to his torso with his fingers in that position, subconsciously associating in theaudience those deep feelings and emotions with himself. That next sentence is about “we aren’t the reasonyou came out.” For this, he would have no logical reason to point to himself at the word “reason” – 136 Also notice how he doesn’t say “you believe in me.” He leaves it to the subconscious mind to put that together to make it as subconscious as possible. 137 Before this phrase, Obama says “there are young people, and African Americans, and Hispanic Americans, and women of all ages who have voted in numbers and who have inspired a nation.” But he is not referring to these people when he says “All ofyou chose a candidate you believe in deeply, though me may be trying to reserve that as an excuse. The reason is, he doesn’t say“all of them chose”, he says “all of you chose.” He is talking about these people in the third person, and he is saying this hypnoticphrase in the second person. As an attorney, he knows this is incorrect, and that he is applying this phrase to his entire audience,not just the people he listed prior. 138 The Power of Conversational Hypnosis, Clifford Mee and Igor Ledochowski, on the discussion of pacing with body language as an example, of how subconscious gestures need not be simultaneous to be effective, and delay of a couple of seconds iseffective, and sometimes necessary, including so as to not be obvious.

AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 42especially when all of his other hand gestures are timed well to correspond to his words. There is no otherexplainable reason for his thumb and forefinger to be in that position, and then turn it inward to point to historso.As discussed below, in Obama’s 2008 Denver Democratic Convention Speech, he uses this exact sametechnique of his thumb and forefinger, talking about John F. Kennedy, then pointing that hand gestureinward toward his torso a moment later, to create a subconscious association between himself and JFK.Odd once to be sure, but caught twice, or more, with the same hand gesture, it is no coincidence. 139 Obama caught pacing and leading againIn another classic Obama pace and lead, notice how he gets the crowd all roused up around 20:40, with hispeak speech, peaking in intensity, emotion, volume, and rate so much so he doesn’t have even a high or lowat the beginning or end of his points. He discusses how teachers should be paid more, everyone should havehealthcare, and then he says “that’s the change we need ...that’s why I’m running for President (pause) ofthe United States.” Again, this is his classic pace and lead. It makes no sense thatbecause we need thosemiraculous changes he described, that is the reason why the President should be none other than him.Logically he has not said why he should be the one, what he would do, or anything of the sort. However,because his leading is so powerful, it is something the cheering audience believes in strongly, he adds theelement of causation, “that’s why” and then his two part lead, 1. President, and 2. (reinforcing it again) ofthe United States. Because this lead is embedded in our subconscious, we simply create the logic to justifyhow we feel – the missing component – that supposition that Obama is the person who can and will createthis type of change and make all these miracles happen.Obama’s 2007 California Democratic Convention “turn the page” speech – further analysis“Turn the page” is not just colorful visual metaphor that Obama happens to like to say. In Obama’s 2007“turn the page” speech he uses the phrase “turn the page” fourteen (14) separate times. 140 141 He uses it asa hypnotic anchor, and as a preprogrammed response, to stir emotion, and as a hypnotic metaphor.Obama using “turn the page” as a preprogrammed response:A preprogrammed response is anything to which your body has already been conditioned to react to with acertain response. For instance, you have been already preprogrammed to know that change is a 100% 139 It appears Obama does this a third time in his speech on race in Philadelphia, when he says Telling story about a poor kid, he says, “Now, Ashley might have made a different choice”, then he hand gestures like writing with a pen, clarifying the meaning ofhis thumb and forefinger trademark, similarly as he does in his 2008 Denver speech, discussed in that analysis. Then, whiletalking, a moment later, he gestures to himself with the thumb and forefinger his anchor - making the subconscious message thathe is that “different choice.” 140 Barack Obama’s speech to California Democratic Convention, 2007 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZUXhCW-OGM141 Transcript, Obama’s Turn the Page speech, April 29, 2007, available, e.g. http://www.californiaprogressreport.com/2007/04/barack_obamas_t_2.html

When a person reading gets to the end of the page, the decision to turn the page is automatic,subconscious. It also happens at a time when we are reading, and in trance. This is something each of us isprogrammed with because we have each rehearsed this thousands of times by turning pages in books,students and more intellectual people even more so. It is an automatic reaction. What Obama tries to do isapply that level of certainty and automaticnesss to your decision to support him as President.Obama using “turn the page” as a hypnotic anchor:“Turn the page” is also used by Obama as a hypnotic anchor, to cause you to recall his planted hypnoticsuggestions when you are in the voting booth, with the pen in your hand like his thumb and forefinger, theother primary anchor. It is a hypnotic anchor that is used very cleverly by Obama by taking advantage of apreprogrammed response in the subject. Turn the page is not just a vague and colorful way to say thatObama will improve America. It is designed to be triggered when we are holding the pen and “turning thepage” in the voting booth. The vagueness of such language used in hypnosis, and the multiple meanings, asdiscussed aove, are part of precisely what makes it work. See the discussion on secondary meanings,embedded commands, surface versus deep structure, and trans-derivation.Obama’s Democratic Convention speech 2008 142 – A “play by play” of his undeniable andextensive anchoring, pacing, leading, and delivery of subconscious commandsThis first example isn’t a documented hypnosis technique, just a bit of classic deception that is part ofObama’s show. When Bill Clinton gave his speech earlier in the Convention, he could barely get started forminutes because the applause and cheering was so loud he genuinely could not speak, and it refused to diedown.Obama didn’t have that problem, so he faked it. He didn’t have such applause and cheering, but he faked itby pretending it was so loud he couldn’t speak, and pretending it was interrupting him, saying “thank you”,pausing and allowing the low level of applause to continue, and then saying “thank you” again, andrepeating, as if he was trying (though not really) to quiet down the unquietable crowd. Comparing hisopening to Bill Clinton’s, it is clear that Bill Clinton genuinely could not speak, and Obama could easilyspeak over the much quieter cheering and applause had he wanted to.Before I discuss Obama’s use of hypnosis in his speech, I really have to point out one other amusing point.Obama said “I am grateful to finish this journey with one of the finest statesmen of our time.” (referring toJoe Biden) What journey is he finishing that is almost over? Wouldn’t he be President for four years?Americans certainly hope the end of the election season is notthe end. This is a slip. He looks at theelection as the journey because his entire mission is simply to make it into the Presidency before we realizewhat he is doing, or who he really is.Obama’s typical pacing, leading, storytelling, and hidden meanings induction:Above in this document under the heading “What is “pacing and leading”, and how does Obama use thishypnosis technique?” – are listed Obama’s use of three pacing statements fourteen times in this speechwhich are not repeated in this section. 142 Obama’s Democratic National Convention Nominee Acceptance Speech, August 28, 2008, available at http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/08/28/barack-obama-democratic-c_n_122224.html
Page 44
AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 44Again, like all of Obama’s other major speeches analyzed in this document, he starts off with hypnoticstorytelling. This is not because he figures we would all want to hear a story. His calculation is how to getthe quickest and deepest trace induction without anyone knowing what he is doing.Obama says:“Four years ago, I stood before you and told you my story, of the brief union between a young manfrom Kenya and a young woman from Kansas who weren't well-off or well-known, but shared abelief that in America their son could achieve whatever he put his mind to. It is that promise that'salways set this country apart, that through hard work and sacrifice each of us can pursue ourindividual dreams, but still come together as one American family, to ensure that the next generationcan pursue their dreams, as well.That's why I stand here tonight.”Again, Obama uses hypnotic storytelling in his unnaturally slow pace. The story starts past tense, to haveyou imagine another time and place.The story is also a pacing statement, “I stood before you and told you my story” which is a present accountof exactly what he is doing now, an accurate current representation of the subject’s ongoing verifiableexperience because he is standing before us now telling a story. This is a very powerful trance inductiontechnique, because Obama tells a story, forcing you to apply and use imagination, an altered state of mindand different perspective, to look at the present situation. He is making you apply an altered andsubconscious state of mind to your present experience of watching his speech.The well-off or well-known statement is again, a play on words for dominant hemisphere linguisticdistraction in order to access the non-dominant hemisphere per Erickson’s three dimensions of hypnosis.He is already pacing, and the play on words is precisely the type of “utilization of the dominant hemisphere,language processing which occurs below the level of awareness.” 143 Your dominant hemisphere below thelevel of awareness analyzes this play on words, and becomes distracted, leaving it open for implantation ofhypnotic suggestion.Then, sure enough, notice how he flashes his thumb and forefinger gesture again starting with when he saysthe word (shared a) “belief.” The “belief “ that he is anchoring here is: that in America their son, (Obama)could achieve anythinghe set his mind to. It is difficult to follow consciously, but that is the belief theyshared. What in fact their sonhas set his mind to, is to becomePresident. Consciously, it is difficult tofollow that when Obama says “belief”, and anchors it with his hand gesture, Obama is really anchoringhimself achieving the Presidency. He is anchoring and implanting the command of his becoming Presidentwithout expressly saying it, so it remains subconscious.Notice his words, “promise”, “hard work”, “sacrifice”, “each of us can pursue our individual dreams” andthen ends the paragraph with “That is why I stand here tonight.” Promise, hard work, sacrifice, each of us 143 Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H. Erickson, M.D. Volume 1, p 218 - Utilization of plays on words in hypnotic induction works because, in addition to employment of conscious linguistic processing mechanisms, it “activates additionalmeaning recovery processes which develop meanings which are available to the to the unconscious portion of the client’s mindbut not the conscious.” – What Erickson’s book means by this is that the “play on words” isn’t caught consciously, but trips upand confuses your subconscious linguistic processing mechanisms, thereby facilitating the distraction necessary for hypnoticinduction.See also the discussion on trans-derivational searches brought about by phonological ambiguity incl. p166, knows/nose, here/hearetc.
Page 45
AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 45pursue our dreams are beautiful concepts nobody can disagree with, and they are pacing statements. In nological way however does Obama connect these beautiful concepts to why he would make a great President.Instead, he simply uses causation, the strongest Ericksonian linkage statement, and says “That is why I standhere tonight.” This statement is a brilliant use of Ericksonian hypnosis techniques, including pacing andleading, because this statement is both a pace and a lead in one. Obama has actually set it up in the run upto this paragraph, so “that is why I stand here tonight” – is both a pace, as it is immediately and verifiablytrue that he is in fact standing there tonight. Also, he has set it up in the whole preceding paragraph, thatwhat this obviously true statement means, is that he will become President, by starting with and connectinghis parents dream, and stating all the beautiful concepts, and then saying “that is why....” he stands theretonight – obviously meaning he is there because he wants the Presidency.This is the really clever part. When he says “that is why I stand here tonight”, your subconscious mindaccepts that as absolutely true. But the question is, which interpretation? 1. That he is literally standingthere tonight? or 2. That he is standing there so his parents’ dream will be realized? or 3. That he isstanding there is because that promise, hard work, sacrifice, and our children’s dreams is the reason whyheis there? The mind is distracted with this trans-derivational problem that occurs below the level ofawareness. Meanwhile, the subconscious mind accepts all three interpretations as absolute truth.Remember, the subconscious mind cannot make rational distinctions. Once the subconscious mind labelsthis statement (that is why I stand here tonight) as absolutely true, it accepts it, including all of its meanings,including hidden meanings. You look at him standing there tonight and confirm below your level ofawareness that that statement is true on one level, and that acts as a confirmation of the other meanings inthe paragraph, that his parents dream will be realized, and that promise, hard work, sacrifice, and ourchildren’s dreams is the reason whyhe is there. And remember, this all awhile you are entranced by hisunnaturally slow, poetic, melodic, hypnotic storytelling, imagination provoking, emotion provoking, andpassion provoking content. He doesn’t send this message to you consciously, but intentionally andpowerfully implants and programs you with it subconsciously.The statement that is verifiably true is the very same statement that means he will achieve the Presidencyand associates him with all those beautiful concepts. This is no coincidence. This is classic embeddedsuggestion programming containing every element in hypnosis trance induction through all of the requiredelements, from pacing and leading, to pacing, distraction, and utilization of the non-dominant hemisphere.It is beautifully crafted and advanced Ericksonian hypnosis.He uses the same phrase “that is why I stand here tonight” again at least two more times later on in thespeech. Millions of people feel like voting for Obama and cant point to an accomplishment or change hehas brought. This hypnotic gamesmanship is the cause for many.Obama caught stacking language patternsObama’s speech contains similar hypnosis techniques throughout, including this very same techniqueimmediately following the previous command. This repetition of hypnotic language patterns one after theother is typical stacking language patterns, and is very effective at subconscious programming withoutconscious awareness.Obama follows the above with:“Because...Every time our nation has been in jeopardy, ordinary men and women” (points to hisaudience) ...students, teachers, nurses, janitors...had the “Courage” (points to his audience) “to keepit alive.” “We meet at one of those defining moments now.”
Page 46
AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 46He paces everyone in the audience by talking about “ordinary men and women, teachers, students, ....” foridentification. Then, notice how he points to the audience when he says “defining moments”, as if votingfor him will defineus e.g., as open minded, as courageous. While difficult to follow consciously, he justsaid, essentially, that because you (points) have had courage (points) at every dark time, and this is one ofthose times, that is why he is standing before us.The pace and lead is again a single statement, “we meet at one of those defining moments.” Again, sametechnique as in the previous sentence. You can immediately verify that we indeed are meeting, at thismoment, and thus you subconsciously accept this statement as a true pace. When this statement is acceptedas true, you again also accept as true all the other programming and meaning that Obama sends along with itinto your subconscious. What logical sense does that make though? What does him standing there have todo with people’s courage throughout history? Because he is standing there people can pursue their dreams?At 15:50, Obama uses this same technique again.After discussing economic issues, building emotion by mentioning a waitress who can take off from work totake care of a sick kid without being fired, and having an economy that honors the dignity of work, Obamasays:“The fundamentals we use to measure economic strength are whether we are living up to thatfundamental promise that has made this country great - a promise that is the only reason I amstanding here tonight.”He starts out saying things nobody can disagree with, and building emotion. Again, he uses causality to linkbeautiful and emotional concepts he conjures up to himself with causation language that logically iscompletely without any logical support. Why use this language of causation without any basis for it, whenthere is no need for causation language “the only reason.”More importantly, yet again, Obama links these beautiful concepts with causation to a statement that is bothverifiably true in the literal sense in order to implant the meaning he has built into it. He talks about “thefundamental promise that has made this country great”, and says “a promise that is the only reason I amstanding here tonight.” He uses language about the promises that make this country great and builds thatmeaning into “that is why I am standing here tonight.” He doesn’t say “that is why I am running forPresident.” “I am standing here tonight” is something more easily and immediately verifiable and serves asa more literal and effective pacing statement. When your mind accepts the statement “that’s why I amstanding here tonight” as absolutely true, it allows it to pass into the subconscious. However, this statementhas two meanings, 1. that he is in fact literally standing there, and 2. the meaning he built into himselfstanding there, he is there to make sure that we are living up to the fundamental promise that has made thiscountry great. When your mind accepts “that’s why I am standing here tonight” as absolutely true, allmeanings attached to it are absorbed into the subconscious as true, because your subconscious mind cannotdifferentiate and rationalize which meaning he intended.What he is doing is no coincidence and no accident. He is repeatedly setting up language patternsthat support subconscious beliefs of why he should be President to intersect and be embedded withinstatements immediately verifiable by the subconscious as absolutely true, such as “that is why I standhere tonight”, or “we meet at one of those defining moments.” Then, the audience sees him standingthere as he says it, processes this below the level of conscious awareness, and unknowingly acceptssubconscious programming as absolute truth consisting of all of the underlying meanings he has set

Nobody just happens to speak like that. Notonce, let alone again and again, one after the other.*Obama caught clarifying his hand gesture as unmistakable hypnotic anchor of writing with pen (twice):You have to watch these videos. As he says “the only reason I am standing here tonight, he waves his palmtowards his chest, taking that emotion and saying “me”, then he points upward signaling “command”, andthen he does this:Right after that, at 16:22, right after he says, “the only reason I am standing here tonight” analyzed above,notice his hand gesture when he says “the faces of those young veterans.” Notice how he appears to bewriting with a pen, to complete the three-part hidden hand gesture, “me” “command” and “write”(orprobably “vote”). At 16:22 – his gesture of writing with a pen is unmistakable.Similarly, at 6:51, Obama also clarifies his hand gesture. He says, “more of you have lost your homes, andeven more” and at that moment, he does a very strange thing with his thumb in forefinger technique, clearlymaking a gesture as if he is using his hand as a pen writing. It is unmistakable. We don’t consciouslyrecognize it, but he anchors us for when we are holding the pen in the voting booth, thereby clarifying for ussubconsciously the meaning of his consistent thumb and forefinger anchor. (being our hand, our pen)Watching this video of these two of Obama’s hand gestures, no reasonable person would believe Obamaaccidentally made these gestures. You can watch these scenes in these videos all day long and you cannotcome up with another reasonable explanation for what he is doing than hypnotic programming.A few tidbits::Obama says “come together” – notice his hands towards his mid section, to signal come togetherto him.He points to us as he says “(these) challenges,” suggesting that we are being challenged, or that we have achallenge to fulfill i.e. to follow his commands.Look at how he blends commands to stay in trance into his speech. He says at 17:08 “When I listen toanother worker tell me his factory is shut down.” – listen to how he enunciates “listen”, to keep peoplesubconsciously listening to his voice.When he says we are “better than this...more descent” notice how he uses his hand palm towards himself, tosend us the signal subconsciously that he is ‘better” and “descent.”He does the thumb and finger anchor again as he tells the story about the man who “chokes up” – anchoringthe symbol with our emotion. This is just before the primary command explained below.He also does an unmistakable hand gesture for the word “keep” just before the primary command explainedbelow.He says “we are more compassionate” and again puts his palm towards his chest, to send the message thathe is compassionate.The reason this is deceptive and manipulative, is that Obama is not telling us that Obama is compassionate,
Page 48
AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 48nor is he providing any logical basis for us to believe that he is compassionate. He pretends he is talkingabout someone else. He is tricking our subconscious minds to believe that he is compassionate without eventelling our conscious minds that he is communicating that message. Consciously, we can’t even analyze itor make a rational judgment about it because we are not even aware of having received the message.Obama caught giving the primary hypnotic command of the speech:After having raised in us a number of emotions, and having paced considerably, and prepared us for ahypnotic suggestion, Obama delivers the following paragraph, his primary hypnotic command of thespeech:Tonight, (pace - it is tonight) I say to the American people (pace - he is obviously saying to theAmerican people), to Democrats and Republicans and Independents across this great land - enough!This moment (pace - it is this moment) - this election (pace - it is this election) - is our chance tokeep (thumb and forefinger anchor - as in to keep his hypnotic messages), in the 21st century (pace),the American promise alive (pace – who would disagree). Because (causality linking statement)next week, in Minnesota, the same party that brought you two terms of George Bush and DickCheney will ask this country for a third. And we are here (pacing) because (causality linkingstatement) we love this country (pace) too much to let the next four years look like the last eight. OnNovember 4th, we must (strongest command word possible) stand up and say: "Eight is enough."The command is not “eight is enough.”Obama executes the hypnotic lead that follows his emotional stirring and pacing just before that, as he says,“on November fourth, on November fourth!” Obama says “on November fourth” twice, attempting to makeit seem as if he unintentionally double-spoke. 144 However, this is very intentional. Notice how he has histhumb and forefinger together anchoring “November fourth”, together with the emotion he just stirred up,for the first time he says “on November fourth” He does this so we will recall his hypnotic messages andprograms and emotions when we hold the pen in the voting booth.Then, notice how the second time he says “on November fourth” with the same hand that was thumb andforefinger for the first, he changes it to firmly point. He is pointing, which is the international andsubconscious signal that he is giving us a command. Frowning and pointing is a common technique inconversational hypnosis to get someone to do something, because on the subconscious level, we perceive itas a command that we must perform, regardless whether consciously we feel like we are doing itvoluntarily. 145 Look at the firmness of his point, with a serious face perhaps a slight frown, as he says it thesecond time. Obama is not asking us for our vote, he is absolutely commanding it. One website evendiscuses how angry Obama appeared during parts of his speech. 146 He is commanding all subconsciousminds under his trance to support Obama. 144 In fact, it was so good at looking accidental;, that the written speech transcript only has “on November fourth” once.145 The Power of Conversational Hypnosis, Clifford Mee and Igor Ledowchowski, p104 of 631, “And likewise, when you are suing ‘command’ tonality, maybe you want to frown a bit. I used to point my finger at an imaginary client, and then give himinstructions. So that, every time I pointed my finger and frowned, my voice started going down, because the physiology ofcommands, or instructions, is to point and frown slightly, and really get someone to do something. 146 The Angry Barack Obama Acceptance Speech, August 29th, 2008, http://www.mikefrancesa.com/wordpress/?p=1011

AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 49It is easily proven that his double-speak is intentional, because his hand gestures are so pronounced andclear, and how clearly he switches from one hand gesture, the anchor, to the second, the command. Werethe double speak accidental, he would not have such clear and definitive and purposeful and different handgestures. The reason he says “On November fourth” twice is because he is giving us a two-part hypnoticcommand, 1. recall the hypnotic commands by the hypnotic anchor, and 2. act on them and vote for me –both commands to be recalled “on November fourth” – That’s why he gives you the specific date. .This is undoubltable evidence that he is implanting commands in a way we are not designed to beconsciously aware of. He doesn’t coincidentally happen to again use the hypnotic anchor, and the pointingtechnique. Notice how these are the same gestures he uses in his statement for the same two principles,reception of the hypnotic message, and taking the commanded action by voting, that he uses in his overthypnotic statement discussed above:“a light will shine down from somewhere, it will light upon you, you will experience an epiphany,and you will say to yourself, “I have to vote for Barack”’Any forgiveness of this is simply because one may not understand how powerful and effective suchtechniques are. How effective these tricks of Obama’s are, can only be shown by the effects – millions ofpeople completely irrationally in love with him, and compelled to vote for him. While you do not see it asconsciously swaying you in any way, as of course it doesn’t logically, or you may not even notice it, in fact,it is a powerful command that compels millions to want him president, regardless how they feel logically.Obama’s aggressive pointing- the subconscious signal of giving commands:Here are some general examples of Obama aggressively pointing – the hypnotic symbol for giving acommand. 147 At this point, Obama goes into a pattern, as he occasionally does, where his hand gestures just normallyflow with the conversation without any specific meaning for the most part – essentially using his hands theway be believe he always is, in order to not be obvious.Shortly thereafter, Obama anchors the word “believe” yet again with his usual thumb and forefinger 147 Images from Democratic National Convention speech in Denver, 2008 (as examples of aggressive pointing, like those he uses as commands, not necessarily designed to coincide with specific commands discussed.)

If there were no rhyme or reason to his hand gestures, why is it that heuses the same thumb and forefinger gesture for the same word (“belief”) that he anchored the same way atthe start of his speech? He is subconsciously training us to “believe’ his hypnotic programming.Obama caught in another hypnotic command, anchor, and a strategic pause:Obama then says 15:50 “its time for us to change America...” (pacing statement) “...and that’s why I’mrunning for President (pause) of the United States.” (causality linking statement and the lead, deliveredagain with his standard hypnotic anchor, the thumb and forefinger flash) This is another classic Obama 1.pace 2. causality linking language 3. lead 4. hypnotic anchor in which he inputs the hypnotic command -that he will be President of the United States, to be recalled in the voting booth on November fourth.Why does he pause between ”President” and “of the United States”? Because when you are in the votingbooth holding the pen as he has anchored, and all these commands are coming back, when you read theactual ballot, it reads, “President”, and then on the next line below, “of the United States” 148 , and as youread the ballot in the voting booth, you will subconsciously pause for a split second as your eyes skipbecause you read from one line to the next. By pausing when he gives you the command, it will moreperfectly match the situation in which you must act according to that command, to make the subconsciouslink more effective. That is how clever and strategic and precise Obama’s hypnosis techniques are. This ishow the unconscious mind works. Everything he is doing, the thumb and forefinger “holding the pencil”hand gestures, the pointing, the pauses, the hand gesture where he appears to be writing with a pen (in hisdemocratic speech), the metaphors (anchors like “turn the page”, are all preparing you, anchoring you forrecall of all his hypnotic commands recalled by you yourself holding the pen and the ballot card that day onNovember fourth when you are in the voting booth.Notice his palms towards himself again when he says “rewarded by a grateful nation.” It is difficult to tell,but he may actually be implanting the subconscious suggestion that he is so wonderful, that we as a nationmust reward him (by giving him the Presidency).He talks about soldiers, and says “(these are my) heroes” and at that moment points to himself, to cause usto subconsciously associate the word “hero” with him.He then rouses emotion for the troops and hard working people, and says he will keep their dream alive “asPresident of the United States.” He uses “as” here as an implied causality, another powerful linkingstatement. 149 Notice then how he keeps his palms towards himself, as the crowd cheers, sending themessage of focusing that cheering on him. This is the same gesture he uses sometimes to discuss himself. 150 Obama can change positions from one day to the next 151 to mirror McCain’s positions, and through hishypnotic speech make people believe that Obama feels as strongly as McCain does on these issues. 148 http://www.londonderrynh.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/20080108_dem-ballot.jpg149 Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H. Erickson, M.D. Volume 1, p147-149. The primary focus of this document has been the linking statement using overt causation, the most powerful, however, other linking statements are also used byObama. 150 “my background, my politics” palms inward towards himself. – his speech on race, Philadelphia.151 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbnKoJP1_xk&feature=related 2:25-

AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 51He then anchors “we will keep our promise to every young American” with his thumb and forefingertechnique – suggesting he will keep his promise to us.Obama consistently delivers a very simplistic hypnotic pace. “Now is the time...now is the time...”. Themessage is simply 1. pen in your hand, and 2. Obama. and 3. now is the time.Obama caught hypnotically linking himself with John F. Kennedy:Obama then mentions John F. Kennedy 27:47 (“what John F. Kennedy called our international and moralstrength”), which he anchors with his thumb and forefinger. He then says “yes government must lead...buteach of us” and as he says “us” he points that same thumb and forefinger anchor at himself (it doesn’t haveto be simultaneous or immediate), subconsciously programming us to look upon him as John F. Kennedy.Then he repeats the word “yes’ in the middle of that anchoring, and does another palm towards himself,reaffirming the JFK programming yet again.It is an unlikely coincidence because he uses the same thumb and forefinger hand gesture to discussKennedy’s values, and then points that same gesture at himself a moment later. People believe he is John F.Kennedy, and have no conscious awareness of the connection that he is causing through subconsciousmanipulation. Notice this is the exact technique Obama used in his St. Paul speech, discussed above, whenhe anchored “a leader you deeply believe in.”Obama again pacing and leadingThis is just another of countless examples. Barack Obama said regarding healthcare:“It's time to finally challenge the special interests and provide universal health care for all.” (Paceand Pace) “That's why I'm running for President of the United States” (Lead) “because I believe thathealth care should be guaranteed for every American who wants it and affordable for everyAmerican who needs it.” 152 (Pace and Pace)Notice how powerful this statement by Obama sounds, while logically empty. Notice how he says that’swhy he’s running for President, before the “because.” Odd to be certain, but we let is pass because we donot understand the causation linkage that he is prepping our subconscious for. Notice how it makes nological sense that its time to change special interests and provide universal health care, that’s why I amrunning for President. There is no logical connection between those statements - Maybe that is a reasonwhy someone who has fought against special interests, or someone who has solved healthcare problems orat least has knowledge about these issues should be President. However, what he says is its time to changeWashington and provide healthcare, and “that is why I am running for President.” The purported logiccomes after as to not interfere with the pace and lead causality statement. Even that purported logicprovides no real basis. It is just another pace. If Obama would have said the reason he should be Presidentis because he believes in healthcare, it wouldn’t work as a pace because the audience doesn’t know what hebelieves – that is why he uses what the audience believes, even though it diverges from logic in order tofollow perfectly the hypnosis principle of pacing and leading. Because he believes healthcare should beguaranteed for everyone who wants it, and affordable for everyone who needs it? Whodoesn’t believe that?It is a statement everyone can agree with, used as a pace. Notice how powerful this statement sounds, yethas absolutely no logical basis. Because he believes everyone who wants medical care should have it, that 152 Remarks of Senator Barack Obama: Health Care Town Hall, Date: 06/05/2008

AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 52is why the President of the United States should be no person other than Barack Obama? The use of themost powerful linking statement here repeatedly, “because”, is more that suspicious. However, the proof, isthat he is a Harvard Attorney, and he knows not to use a “because” when he is not making a properargument that one thing causes another. Drafting such false logic sticks out to attorneys like a sore thumband he cannot accidentally make this mistake once, let alone three times in one paragraph, and consistentlythroughout his speeches.PART 4 – ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC ASPECTS OF OBAMA’S HYPNOSISObama’s technique of head turned to the right side in interviews described by body languageexpert as one of the most powerful subconscious manipulation techniques possible by aspeaker’s body languageNotice how Obama has his head tilted to the right in interviews such as the Fox News interview with ChrisWallace April 27, 2008, his ABC News Nightline interview, as well as the August 16, 2008 meeting withRev. Rick Warren, 153 and many others. 154£¤¤£¤¡ It is undeniable how Obama significantly tilts his head to the right in these and other interviews, but notwhen Obama is giving speeches.According to Tonya Reiman, Author of “The Power of Body Language,” such a head tilt to the right is “oneof the most powerful manipulation tools of body language.” 157 Tonya Reiman describes how there is nodifference between what such gestures and manipulation. Barack Obama is actually manipulating yousubconsciously by tilting his head without you even consciously realizing it. The reason is that tilting yourhead to the right specifically is a sign of vulnerability, a very effective one. Per our animal instincts, a headtilted to the right exposes an animal’s jugular vein, their weakness, and in turn, causes us to lower ourdefenses subconsciously as a counter-measure, without even being consciously aware of it.This is a clear example of Obama intentionally using a subconscious technique for gaining trust andlowering the subconscious guard and resistance of his audience, using one of the most powerfulmanipulation tools of body language. 153 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjqOXEOzSc0 See also Obama can be seen with his head tilted to the right in many interviews where he faces the camera. Google “Obama headtilt” - See “Watching the Saddleback Church Forum with Pastor Rick Warren interviewing Senator Barack Obama on SaturdayAugust 16, I was struck by the marked and obvious tilting of the Senator’s head Forum. The tilt is to the right side. Thisphenomenon has not been widely written about from a medical perspective.” at http://www.drnoahklein.com/blog/35/senator- barak-obama-has-a-head-tilt/ 154 As an example http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,232960,00.html155 As an example http://lifeisanongoingprocess.com/imageshome/obama_mtp.jpg156 Obama at Saddleback church interview157 The Power of Body Language, Tanya Reiman, p95-96.

AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 53This is not just confident body language. When Obama lowers his head to the right as he often does, he isnot convincing us logically, he is manipulating us without our knowledge. We may say, “oh, well thisdoesn’t seem so bad, his head tilted to the right doesn’t make me vote for him any more so.” You may feelnone of these tactics do. In fact, because they are subconscious tactics, we do not realize how effective theyare. Only after November fourth can one be sure they are unaffected. We are subconsciously tricked intotrusting him more and liking him more, not logically, but in our internal feelings to vote for him. 158 Thisgoes beyond deceit, and is in fact mind-control. People watching him listen to him, and like him, and trusthim, they genuinely feel it, and it is artificially induced. Now a single tactic like this head tilt by itself haseffect. However, it is when Obama combines it with hundreds of other gestures, techniques, languagepatterns, and other aspects of hypnosis. There is an “Obama phenomenon” of millions of people who callhim JFK, or Jesus reincarnated, and nobody can explain why. We are ready to turn over the united States ofAmerica to this largely unknown man and nobody can explain why. This is why. His arsenal of hypnoticand subconscious manipulation brainwashes causing an unstoppable grade school-like crush on him in somecases, and in others, simply pushes us over the edge, overpowers our logical concerns, to supporting himwhen we otherwise wouldn’t.Much of Obama’s body language may be considered beyond confident, to actually manipulative. Asanother example, when appearing with his opponents Hillary Clinton and John McCain, in debates andelsewhere, notice how, when he shakes their hand such as after the debate, Obama does an additional touchon the arm or shoulder of his opponent. He is not being friendly here. He does this to purposely appear“commanding” and “in charge” to his audience. He is showing that he has the right, power, and authorityand confidence to touch this person. This is all conscious and intentional. He even makes sure that afterevery debate, he takes the forefront walking across the stage at the end, to the front center, and meeting themoderator or other people up in the front and center, so people are left with the end thought of him being atthe forefront.Obama’s manipulative body language is so perfected, that you actually have to consciously detach yourselffrom it to try to not be influenced by it. He never shows a hint of nervousness in his body language, and isalways commanding in his presence. He is so strategic in his body language, that when he is on stage withHillary after primaries or Joe Biden talking about and praising him, he actually consciously sits slouching alittle hunching his shoulders, with his back arched in his chair, as if to put the other person as the perceivedleader while they speak well of him so their message is more effective.Interview of Professor of Psychiatry on CNN in which Dr. comes close to hinting of hersuspicion that Obama is using covert subconscious techniques throughout his campaign.Excepts from an interview of Dr. Gail Saltz by Erica Hill, Professor of Psychiatry, New York PresbyterianHospital, on Anderson Cooper 360, CNN June 7, 2008 22:00 EST speak for themselves.“Obama used words like "change," "hope," "action." They have high emotional valence, particularlyat this time. Clinton used words like "conversation" and "leader," and they didn't have the sameemotional valence. And in addition, Obama delivered them with a tremendous inspirational tone.That also affected things greatly. So yes, I think actually it did play a big role.... 158 http://flickr.com/photos/jbenson2/2531469404/ The details that go into Obama’s “look”

AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 54If you think about it, a campaign is really about PR and marketing. And interestingly, the father ofpublic relations was the nephew of Sigmund Freud. He used those same concepts of thesubconscious.And that's what we're talking about here. It's not the conscience meaning of the word: it's theunconscious emotion it evokes. Because when it's out of your awareness, it has the ability to makeyou behave and do certain things that you wouldn't if you knew it was present....I do think Obama really has a special talent in this arena of deciding what words to use with aparticular valence.”Dr. Saltz seams here to strongly suggest that Obama is indeed using subconscious hypnosis techniques inhis campaign. However, she only scratches the surface of Obama’s techniques and does not put together theethical issue of how deceptive and immoral his tactics are.Hypnosis/NLP expert discusses Obama’s use of mind control techniques on radioDr. Horton, who has been working in the field of hypnosis and NLP for 25 years has called Obama’smethods clearly the use of hypnosis and effectively “Mind control.” 159 The discussion on this radioprogram 160 describes Obama’s use of the 48 Laws of Power, by Greene, a treatise on mass deception, totalabsence of emotion. 161 Obama is often referred to as detached emotionally, and not just “cool” but in factso detached as to be of concern to some people. Discussed is Obama’s ability to project people’s hopes anddreams onto him, and Obama’s use of hypnosis to get masses to view him as the vehicle to get whatever hewants through Obama’s vague “yes we can”, “change” and “we are the ones we have been waiting for”speeches.The discussion addresses Obama’s cadence rhythm and speaking tone, taking breaks after 5-8 word phrases,and how he cleverly uses pauses such as “together, ...as we look to the future,” to send subconsciousmessages we are not even aware of.One specific hand gesture being used by Obama discussed was Obama’s rousing emotion from theaudience, and then touching his face, or tie, as a method of subconsciously transferring those emotions ontohim by bringing the person’s focus back to him while in that elicited state. Also discussed is how Obamamorphs into a different person with different voice depending on which group he is talking to.Website analyzes Obama’s use of hypnosis in speechesA website looking at the hypnotic aspects of Obama’s speeches and comparing them to other candidates,and Hitler, who was well-known to use hypnosis, provided the following commentary: 162 159 http://www.nfnlp.com/160 Dr. Wil Horton, licensed clinical psychologist, 8/2/2008 2:00:00 PM clintons4mccain radio, http://www.blogtalkradio.com/clintons4mccain/2008/08/02/Does-Hillary-REALLY-Have-a-Chance 161 Law 3: Conceal Your Intentions.

AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 55Barack Obama:Democratic candidate, Feb 5, 2008, remarks on Super Tuesday58% hypnotic language. Complete mastery of the language, including highly abstract pacing andleading language for creating emotion and motivation. In addition to the language patterns, he isfantastic at going higher up in level of abstraction beyond details, while still managing to soundrelevant. He uses Ericksonian-style language patterns, including presuppositions andnominalizations extensively.This is only a sample of 500 words from a single speech, but as you can see, Obama tops the crowdusing nearly 60% hypnotic language patterns. In my opinion, this is purposeful language, likelywritten by a very skilled speech writer — perhaps someone trained in Neuro-LinguisticProgramming or Hypnosis.Another website also provides similar commentary. 163 Obama uses hypnotic command to dismiss the Rev Wright questionsRegarding Rev. Wright, Obama in an interview with Chris Mathews on MSNBC, simply says, with hisamazing hyper-confidence, “three weeks from now, everybody will have forgotten..” 164 He doesn’t evensay, I hope this will be forgotten. He clearly states it as a command. 165 That easily, for millions ofAmericans, the question of why he sat in a racist, anti-American church for 20 years is unimportant.When Obama faces any attack or issue that hurts him, he simply says this is the old politics, and that thisissue doesn’t solve the people’s problems. He calls it a “distraction.” A word that clearly has a verypowerful message, to be overlooked. When the idea of a distraction is commanded hypnotically, in can, aswe see, sometimes be more powerful than all the logic which says, “wait, Obama’s character is relevant. 166 He groups everything that hurts him politically, from his empty record to his connections with Farakhan andHamas, to his elitism, and all the questions about his character and patriotism under his magical umbrella ofissues that “distractions” or what he calls “fear tactics.” The rational part of one’s mind should realize thatObama’s connections to these people, combined with how little we know about Obama disqualify him fromthe Presidency, but as emotional beings, many are driven by simply wanting him as President.Obama’s speech on race March 18, 2008 Philadelphia – hypnotic storytelling throughoutThis speech is symbolically in the “city of brotherly love.” Notice how he carefully plans venues for suchspeeches, Berlin to be like JFK, “Unity” when he and Clinton are trying to get along. Has any candidatebefore ever paid this much attention to such small symbolisms?Obama is using hypnotic storytelling techniques from the start of the speech, when Obama is talking about adifferent time, “221 years ago...in a hall that still stands across the street....farmers, scholars” in his slowrhythm, through to the end. As discussed above with regards to the California Convention 2007 Speech,hypnotic storytelling is a fundamental of hypnosis. The stories in this speech are countless, practically 163 http://greatguys.blogspot.com/2008/09/i-mustve-seen-different-speech.html164 Hardball College Tour interview Barack Obama, Chris Mathews, http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23925495/page/4/165 As he said it, in three weeks’ time, it was forgotten by most. Coincidentally, Wright, happened to shortly thereafter come public with some more extreme comments precisely giving Obama another chance to now denounce him more concretely. Thishad the precise effect of Obama then being able to say he did denounce Wright, after Obama initially refused to, so that the storywould die down, and Wright has been largely silent since. -Another interesting coincidence nobody suspected. 166 Obama said in his democratic convention acceptance speech that issues such as his character are off limits.

AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 56throughout. Through much of Obama’s speech, what is a story and what is not are completely blended andintertwined. He takes you through a host of emotions starting with guilt about slavery, to all types of storiesabout brotherly love and togetherness, meanwhile using his thumb and forefinger anchoring techniquealmost throughout, and implanting messages hidden within the stories into your subconscious. He gets yourimagination prevail over your rationality, and you find yourself feeling the heartwarming tales that thepeople in all these stories felt, and associating those with him. He consistently paces throughout, “Thispresidential campaign” or “I chose to run for president – at this moment (in history)” just two of manypacing statements with anchors, and “this moment”, “this election”, and “this time” (repeated nearly half adozen times).He builds warm emotions with generic statements like “We all want to move in the same direction...towardsa better future...for our children and grandchildren.”The way he dismisses the whole Rev. Wright affair without discussing how he could have not knownWright was racist and anti-American (which he denies) is by saying he is “not the most conventionalcandidate.” Notice how you have to agree with it because you do not have time to dissect what part of non-conventional is due to his race, and what part is due to something improper that he has done for twentyyears.At 4:56 he says “A story that has seared into my genetic makeup the idea that this nation is more than thesum of its parts, that out of many, we are truly one”, meanwhile pointing down as if to command almost thewhole way through that statement. Notice how many times he talks about being one with his audience.This is building and reinforcing a subconscious connection with his audience, often by using his hypnoticanchor hand gesture. In fact, such stories are designed to “sear” their way into your subconscious with themessage that he and you, the subject, “are truly one.” More include “let us all find our common stake inone-another”, and “we can come together.” He describes children of different races getting along atmultiple times throughout the speech. He tells stories containing embedded all the warm feelings that he infact places into the subconscious minds of the audience, which warms, or at least thaws the outrage overWright. 167 He beautifully plays the audience like a violin taking positions on both sides, and criticizing from all anglesand perspectives. In the end, we forget that he fails to address what he calls “nagging questions” because hecannot. They aren’t “questions”, they are impossibilities for which there is no answer, but which he dancesaround and dodges beautifully. It is impossible that he could not have know his pastor’s true views andcharacter for twenty years. It is impossible that someone who says “g-d.d-mn America” loves this countryin the same way as someone who is shocked by these words. It is impossible that Obama had he good andstrong character, would have stayed in that church. It is impossible, that had Obama possessed goodjudgment, that he would have stayed in that church. It is impossible, that had Obama not agreed with suchviews, would have stayed in that church.In the end, he convinces many on emotion and warm feelings driven through to the subconscious throughcontinuous hypnotic storytelling, telling hypnotic story after hypnotic story each with a theme about how hewants the audience to feel. Obama ends up slipping out of the consequences of a personal history whatwould rationally have destroyed any candidate. 167 The Power of Conversational Hypnosis, Clifford Mee and Igor Ledochowski, How to Destroy Resistance With Stories: Priming the Subconscious Mind, p246-247.

No doubt that one intended meaning, ofmany, is that the circle is also an “O” for “O”bama. By itself that is not all that significant.Obama’s logo is highly hypnotic, because unlike any other logo in presidential history, you do not lookat it,butthroughit. One subconsciously looksthough the circle to the light inside, like the light at the end of thetunnel, without consciously realizing it. This visual point of focus is helpful in multiple ways to focus one’sattention, as well as to distract the critical factor. Notice how it is always there on the podium – a small onein the middle, just enough for your conscious mind to miss, but for you to see subconsciously.Additionally, Obama’s logo looks very much like a crystal ball. Notice how it looks like it is shiningbrightly. Crystal balls are used by hypnotists as one of their favorite focus points for aiding in tranceinduction. 168 Also notice how Obama’s podium messages are never something like “country first” like McCain has,which needs conscious interpretation. Obama’s podium messages are always simplistic hypnotic commandsincluding the words “Need” or “Believe” or “Change.” A common Obama podium message is the word inlarge letters “CHANGE”, and beneath it “WE NEED.” The reason this is hypnotic, and part of his hypnotictrance induction, is because the message is vague, and has two meanings because it can be read both as“change we need”, and as “we need change.” Per the discussion on trans-derivation in this document, asyour mind tries to figure out which meaning is intended (and cannot resolve it because both are in factintended) your mind is subject to trance induction and distraction, while your subconscious mind becomesmore accepting of suggestion.Obama’s strange hand gesture & hand-holding conversation with Senator LiebermanIn a very unusual report, Obama is reported to grab another Senator with whom he is in a disagreementwith, Sen. Joseph Lieberman, and lead him by the hand across the Senate floor and then speak to Liebermanin a passionate manner with strange had gestures. 169 The reason this is strange, is, besides the investigation of Obama for use of hypnosis in his speeches andother aspects of his campaign, is that the description of this “heated conversation” sounds somewhat likesome very specific hypnotic induction techniques, including one hand and handshake instant inductiontechniques. 170 168 Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H. Erickson, M.D. Volume 1, p189 re use of crystal balls in trance induction.169 Obama in heated Conversation with Lieberman http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/06/04/lieberman-carries- mccains_n_105179.html 170 The Handshake Induction (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milton_H._Erickson) Confusion is the basis of Erickson's famous hypnotic handshake. Many actions are learned and operate as a single "chunk" ofbehavior: shaking hands and tying shoelaces being two classic examples. If the behavior is diverted or frozen midway, the personliterally has no mental space for this - he is stopped in the middle of unconsciously executing a behavior that hasn't got a"middle". The mind responds by suspending itself in trance until either something happens to give a new direction, or it "snapsout". A skilled hypnotist can often use that momentary confusion and suspension of normal processes to induce trance quicklyand easily.By interrupting the pattern of a "normal" handshake in some way, the hypnotist causes the subject to wonder what is going on. Ifthe handshake continues to develop in a way which is out-of-keeping with expectations, a simple, non-verbal trance is created,

AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 58The article states:“Obama In Heated Conversation With Lieberman, June 4, 2008 12:24 PM, Sam Stein, TheHuffington Post: Furthermore, during a Senate vote Wednesday, Obama dragged Liebermanby the hand to a far corner of the Senate chamber and engaged in what appeared to reporters inthe gallery as an intense, three-minute conversation. While it was unclear what the two werediscussing, the body language suggested that Obama was trying to convince Lieberman ofsomething and his stance appeared slightly intimidating. Using forceful, but not angry, handgestures, Obama literally backed up Lieberman against the wall, leaned in very close at times,and appeared to be trying to dominate the conversation, as the two talked over each other in afew instances. Still, Obama and Lieberman seemed to be trying to keep the back-and-forthcongenial as they both patted each other on the back during and after the exchange.Afterwards, Obama smiled and pointed up at reporters peering over the edge of the pressgallery for a better glimpse of their interaction. Obama loyalists were quick to express theirfrustration with Lieberman’s decision and warned that if he continues to take a lead role inattacking Obama it could complicate his professional relationship with the Caucus.” 171 It sounds more unbelievable than to even suggest seriously, but certain aspects of the “conversation” justhave hypnotist written all over it. This report is not inconsistent with the absurd-sounding possibility thatObama tried to use hypnotic techniques on Senator Lieberman right there on the Senate floor. This includesthe motive, Lieberman’s recent criticisms of Obama, and Obama’s alleged method of grabbing SenatorLieberman by the hand and leading him by the hand across the Senate floor (see handholding as part ofinstant induction techniques), the forceful hand gestures, backing Lieberman up against the wall, andleaning in very close, appearing to try to dominate the conversation, the patting on the back, all until beingapparently interrupted by reporters. 172 Obama’s use of a fake presidential sealObama at one speech had on the front of his podium a fake presidential seal which he created, which lookedlike the Presidential Seal of the United States, except with a few modifications such as “Obama” written onit, and his hypnotic logo in the center. 173 This was likely an attempt at another subconscious message which may then be reinforced or utilized by the hypnotist. All these responses happen naturally and automatically without tellingthe subject to consciously focus on an idea.The various descriptions of Erickson's hypnotic handshake, including his own very detailed accounts, indicate that a certainamount of improvisation is involved, and that watching and acting upon the subject's responses is key to a successful outcome.The most important thing is that the "normal" handshake is subverted in such a way to cause puzzlement, which may then be builtupon. Richard Bandler was a keen proponent of the handshake induction, and developed his own variant, which is commonly taught inNLP workshops. Any habitual pattern which is interrupted unexpectedly will cause sudden and light trance. The handshake is a particularly good pattern to interrupt because the formality of a handshake is a widely understood set of social rules. Sinceeveryone knows that it would be impolite to comment on the quality of a handshake, regardless of how strange it may be, thesubject is obliged to embark on an inner search (known as a transderivational search, a universal and compelling type of trance) toidentify the meaning or purpose of the subverted pattern.(see also “instant induction techniques” online, such as “one handed induction”) 171 Obama in heated Conversation with Lieberman http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/06/04/lieberman-carries- mccains_n_105179.html 172 See previous footnote on instant induction and handshake induction.173 http://www.victoriataft.com/2008/06/obama-unveils-presidential-seal.html

Both probably without went without anyone’s conscious awareness of theirsmall role in Obama’s broader hypnotic efforts. Both were simply ridiculed because of their impropriety.This could be argued to simply have been an effort by Obama to appear Presidential, but why the subtlemodifications then and why his logo in the middle?Assorted other points:Obama often uses a variety of other subconscious verbal tricks. At 4:55 pm on September 24,2008, in a response to McCain suspending his campaign as a show of non-partisanship to work onthe economy, Obama made a statement about how in this crisis, there are some immediate aspects,and also some long term aspects that the net administration will have to deal with. Then he says inthe next few sentences “we”...”we” several times, and then follows up with how “we” will have todeal with those long term issues down the road. He separated it so he was not obviously saying thathe will be the next administration, but subconsciously, that is probably an intentionally sentmessage.There are too many issues to address, and too many hypnotic techniques to look into even in asingle speech. However, here are a few miscellaneous points.Notice how often he starts his turn speaking with the words “Now look...” Not just once or twice,but repeatedly, especially when he is in trouble in an interview or conversation.When Obama first introduces Biden as his vice president to take the stage with Obama for the first time,Obama announces Biden as, “the next president of the United States” and then corrects himself to say vice-president, as if he misspoke. It is difficult to know whether Obama did this on purpose to make people whoare uncomfortable with him feel more at ease as though Biden would be running the show. Perhaps hemisspoke, but then again, how often does Obama misspeak? ...As compared to his proven prior acts ofmisspeaking purposely as part of subconscious tactics.Notice Obama’s sparkling eye-shadow makeup.On Hannity and Colmes, Mary Matalin said Obama was “attacking McCain subliminally”, calling McCain“confused.” In another Obama ad, when McCain was criticized for not knowing how many houses heowned, the voice slowly paused before saying “he cant remember,” in a deep powerful voice. Clearly thiswas a similar tactic to get people to be concerned about McCain’s age.When Hillary had lost the nomination, Obama came to meet with her. As the story was relayed, Obama hadall journalists board his plane to cover him, and then, in an unbelievable move, Obama sent his plane,without him, to another city to intentionally do away with the press so Obama could talk to Clinton privatelywithout journalists there.

However, on Wednesday September 10, 2008 in what appeared to be a small library,Obama did try to cover it up. He said, “nobody actually believes...” that the McCain camp is offended.Notice how much emphasis he puts on his favorite programming word “believes” – and the huge pausethereafter. That is not (supposedly) the end of the idea nor the sentence. Why a huge pause and emphasis ifthat were not the end of the idea? Notice how the whole statement is made as if it were a command,“nobody actually believes!”Notice how Obama copies and piggybacks the popular points of every candidate he is going against. This isso people will look at him as equal to every issue logically, and only differentiate Obama on the issueswhere he chooses to, where he is strongest. It allows him to appropriate the best of the other candidateswithout ever taking a position. Look at how he does this even in debates. He would allow Hillary toanswer a question with her wealth of experience, and then he says that he would have given the sameanswer, sometimes even using a metaphor like “dovetail” but he is also Barack Obama. Remember howstarkly different he was than John McCain? What issues can one name where he is even describablydifferent than McCain on?PART 5 – THE VISIBLE EFFECTS OF OBAMA’S HYPNOSISThe effects of his hypnosis are undeniable“The unconscious mind (where Obama is implanting his hypnotic commands) is the source of our energy.No amount of will power exerted by the conscious mind can override it.” Modern Hypnosis Theory andPractice, Masud Ansari, Ph..D., p43. - this is why many people are so passionate about Obama. Nobodyknows who, not even they. It is difficult to know how many people have been affected and how much untilNovember 4 th when people actually vote. Because of Obama’s tactics, we can expect people to change theirmind at the last minute, feel entranced in the voting booth, vote for people other than they intended, andother interesting reports. We can expect irregularities because the lengths people will go to elect Obama tobe unusual, as that desire will supercede some people’s interest in democracy. We can expect significantvoter fraud, and other problems. We have already seen such strange behavior, including many instanced ofvoter fraud, people bending the rules as if Obama winning is more important than the rule, the obviouslybiased positions of most journalists, and reports that a respected journalist Gwen Ifill, who is moderating adebate, who may not have properly disclosed that she is writing a book on Obama, which should have beendone even to avoid the appearance of impropriety.Obama’s perceived greatnessBill Richardson called him the “greatest leader of a generation.”Nancy Pelosi called Obama “a leader that g-d has blessed us with at this time.”Millions of people are worshipping a man who has accomplished virtually nothing but given speeches.Obama is drawing crowds like only John F. Kennedy could, except John F. Kennedy was in the military ascommander of a torpedo boat, a congressman for six years, a senator for seven years, won the Pulitzer Prize,and was President of the United States before he had such support. Obama now is practically more popularthan John F. Kennedy, except without any of the accomplishments.

The McCain web ads “Love”, as well as “The Road To Denver” have examples ofhow people are spellbound by Obama 174 , including media persons. Journalists admit how swept away theyare, how they have a crush on Obama like they haven’t had since grade school, and feel sensations goingthrough their bodies while listening to him. 175 Journalists admit “its hard to remain objective,” describingthe sensations running up their legs as they listen to him speak. “I feel a need to do this, I have to” oneObama supporter says.“Regarding the “turn the page” speech, one typical supporter comments online:“I was there - i heard, i saw, i witnessed what i had been hearing only over the media. This guy is amyth, a legendary figure around who we must all assemble. He is the man to remember, the tree tolean on, the rock on which to build. Let America give this guy a chance and it is obvious that it willnot be a regretable decision. I am quite sure that that rustic Medical Doctor who manifested a highdegree of ignoramus when he naively spoke against Barack the day after he announced hiscandidacy on C-Span must be gnashing his teeth now. Barack has demonstrated that he is not onlyeloquent, but he is savvy, apt, sound and good enough for this country, so let's all endorse him, andwork hard to ensure that we place him in the White House. He has made it clear that this campaign isnot about him, and not about his family. It is about us, so let us take this whole thing into our hands,get iito every nook and crany of this country and win voters for our darling candidate. Barack, youare the man!!!!!!!!!!”Another supporter shortly thereafter, writes, “I believe this wonderful man is a gift from God.” Otherscompare him to John F.

Like an altered state. Anyone else notice this? What could it mean? 178 ”Nicholas M. Guariglia describes Obama’s effect on many as:Everyone is telling me he’ll tickle my fancy. I’m supposed to be endeared. Apparently he does allsorts of amazing trance-like things to you: he’ll “look into your eyes,” “inspire” your politicalsenses, and when he speaks to his audiences, he bestows upon you feelings you “haven’t felt inages.”” 179 Daniel Zanoza writes:“It's as if a significant portion of the American public is under some sort of ungodly spell when itcomes to Obama and someone needs to give me a good explanation for it.” 180 Another blogger writes:“It continues to stun me that people are hypnotized by Obama's rhetoric given his lack of substance.His only message is "I offer hope" followed by "trust me". He offers no plan for change andbecomes annoyed when asked directly for details (hear his interview with Steve Inskeep on NPR1/9/08). He depends on young voters who- apparently - do not realize he stands for nothing.” 181 One blogger on HuffingtonPost.com writes:“Like 'vsign' I actually started out liking Obama and thinking that he had a chance to make adifference. After listening to him and reading about what he proposes to do as president, I no longertrust him. It's a pity that so many people seem to be in a trance and believe that he is some kind of agod. I hope that they will come to their senses before it's too late.” 182 As a final example, see Reverend James Manning’s video, likening him to other world leaders, in which hesays“Barack ...has got you all in a trance”, “Paralyzed hypnotic people that follow Barack” 177 http://www.worldmag.com/webextra/13750178 http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message594429/pg1179 http://www.globalpolitician.com/24075-elections180 http://rffm.typepad.com/republicans_for_fair_medi/2008/02/obama-the-antic.html181 http://politics.wikia.com/index.php?title=Why_I_will_Not_Vote_For_Obama182 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/users/profile/vanessar?action=comments&display=all&sort=newest

To many who see through it, it isa quite creepy. Not only because his image does not match his complete lack of accomplishments, andcomplete failure to bring any real change in his 46 years. People who follow Obama with sparkles in theireyes try to bring you into what is a very intense and frightening cult-like following – a childish trance-likereligious experience wherein you give up all resistance and submit to Obama love and it fulfills youcompletely 184 There are significant reports of even high level political people breaking rules to supportObama. One narrator of a criticism of Obama supporters’ improper voting tactics describes Obamafollowers as simply not being able to see through it.The first question that no one really wants to examine, that we must examine, is, what is the logicalexplanation for the Obama phenomenon? As logical human beings, everything has a logical explanation.The media writes it off as “he is simply very charming and a great orator.” Does that suffice? Hispopularity is historic already. Historically, with some of the horrible leaders who have come to powerthrough their guile, can we presume such cannot happen in this case just because this is America, and noteven examine this phenomenon?Perhaps the best way to know Obama’s hypnosis techniques are having an effect is because he is continuingto use them. If these techniques weren’t working, he wouldn’t continue to risk his entire political career.The effects of Obama’s hypnosis on young people, and more educated peopleThe effect Obama is clearly having on younger people is undeniable, and common knowledge that youngpeople are one of his primary bases of support. Polls, colleges and the internet are flooded with youngpeople raving about Obama. Obama also apparently has an increased effect on people who read more, orare more intellectual. In a recent article in Newsweek Magazine entitled, “Letter to the ObamaGeneration”, author Jonathan Darman advises “cut the blind devotion.”In hypnosis science terms, this is not surprising, as young people are known in psychology to respond betterto hypnosis. 185 The critical factor is something that one is not born with, but is something developedthrough life experiences. 186 Dr. Erickson’s said of younger people’s susceptibility to hypnosis:These two case reports have been presented in considerable detail to illustrate the naturalistichypnotic approach to children. There is seldom, if ever, a need for formalized or ritualistictechnique. The eidetic imagery of a child, his readiness, eagerness and actual need for newlearnings, his desire to understand and to share in activities of the world about him, and the 183 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTp_atr2G9E&feature=user184 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOqe-JPLKfw&feature=PlayList&p=D2DE4AD0F81298F1&index=0&playnext=1185 Young people often respond better to hypnosis than adults, and have the imagination necessary to make the process work well. http://www.morpheusclinic.com/content/frequently-asked-questions 186 Killer Influence Secrets of Covert Hypnosis, by David X, Part 1
Page 64
AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 64opportunities offered by “pretend” and imitation games all serve to enable him to respondcompetently and well to hypnotic suggestions. 187 Also discussed on the radio program with Dr. Will Horton cited above, was how young people under thirtydon’t have reference base to compare information with, and Obama is easily able to implant suggestions thatare unchallenged in people without developed life experiences because they have nothing to draw from tocompare and contrast such absolute truths with. Younger people do not have prior experience with which tocompare such compelling speech. As adults, many of us have heard at some point very compelling speech,and know it does not mean that anywhere near the claimed results will follow.Younger people are more subject to the influence of hypnosis generally. The period from age 14 to age 21is the best period for both speed of induction and depth of hypnosis. 188 After age 20 there is a gradualdecline. Younger people, and people with more intellectual minds, like readers, are also more subject to theinfluence of hypnosis techniques that work by distracting the conscious mind in order to access thesubconscious, non-dominant hemisphere. 189 This is because the processing part of the mind in these peoplewill be more proactive in trying to solve the problems and chasing the distractions thrown by the hypnotist,as intended, leaving the subconscious more vulnerable to implanting of suggestion. Same with youngerpeople being more creative, for similar reasons.Younger people have a general need to believe. Younger people have internally a need to be imaginative, todo something different, to change the world, by their nature. They have a compelling internal drive to bepart of something, and in a way, do something different to make the world a better place. Obama makesvery effective use of this about young people. However, just because Obama passionately shouts, “its timefor change, new energy, and new ideas”, does not mean he really has any new ideas. Unfortunately, inhelping young people understand that they are being unduly influenced, they may not want to believe it justlike many adults will not. Perhaps those people not convinced by this document can explain who Obama satin Rev. Wright’s church for 20 years but did not know Wright’s racist and anti-American views. You cannever get a hypnotist to admit he is wrong. When you ask him how he didn’t know Wright’s views, he sayshe knew some of them but there were also positive things about the guy. When you ask him how he stayedin the church, he says he didn’t hear these particular statements. Obama has played this dance successfullywith every journalist until they gave up and moved on.Conclusion and commentaryObama is beguiling us. He is hypnotizing us like sheep. Fooling us like children. The Obama phenomenonis essentially idol worship, caused by the well-studied and well-rehearsed mind control tricks of a man whois very clever, able to play the media, and thinks he has the right take the Presidency of the United Statesthrough such deceptive means. He takes it upon himself to decide he has the right to do so, and manipulateus without our knowledge by sidelining our rational judgment. What does such a person think ofAmericans? 187 Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H. Erickson, M.D. Volume 1, p186, Erickson 1967, p423.188 Modern Hypnosis, Theory and Practice, Masud Ansari, Ph.D., p31.189 Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H. Erickson, M.D. Volume 1, p13 – “[Erickson’s] overall strategy while conducting trance inductions appears to have these three dimensions. 1) pacing and distraction of the dominant (language)hemisphere.” See also, p137, “The induction of the altered state of consciousness called trance requires and implies thedistraction and/or utilization of what Milton calls the conscious mind.”

AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 65Worse yet, his hypnosis probably has at least some effect on millions. Jews voting for the candidateendorsed by Iran, Hamas, Farakhan, and Khalidi should be a wake up signal that something is not Kosher.Obama could not have picked a worse list of supporters than Wright, Ayers, the Black Panther Party,Farakhan, Iran, Hamas, Khalidi, Rezko if he were the Anti-Christ himself. This unknown man is trying togain control of the world’s largest nuclear weapons arsenal by knowingly and intentionally using a form ofhypnosis on America that is the most deceptive and manipulative form of communication known to man.We are being played like a violin by someone very smooth, who knows he can just play his games dodgingquestions and avoiding issues until the election. This document barely scratches the surface of his use ofhypnosis. He knows he can promise anything. If questioned with skepticism, he downplays. Then, he goesright back to promising everything again. He can take neutral positions covering himself both ways,because what he is doing is never analyzed closely enough. He easily makes audiences feel like he hasanswered a question without having done so, simply by saying he has. If caught with evidence of hishypnosis, first, he will surely deny it. He will probably stop doing it. If it is prove, he will admit it, but sayit is not his fault. Then, he may say that all advertising is part subliminal, and that everyone does it.Nobody has ever tried to gain the Presidency like this. It literally doesn’t matter what he says, because theconscious mind cannot override the subconscious, and he knows that.Obama is an eloquent speaker, and very clever, but the rest is hypnosis. He is able to tell us exactly whatthe polls say, exactly what he knows we want to hear. – even if he has to change positions from one day tothe next. 190 He knows exactly how to manipulate us. And he is false. Obama’s use of hypnosis and mindgames gets you to make a different decision than you logically would have, yet he makes you feel like youcame to that decision on your own rational reasoning. our own feelings are false.If a person is willing to be this deceptive and smile as broadly as Obama smiles, there is not telling whatelse he may be lying about, and no telling even who he really is. One must wonder why someone wouldrisk their entire political career, so certain that if America was given another four years to find out whoObama really is, that we would never elect him, and that he must get the Presidency now, or never. This is aman we know nothing about, except that he has no virtually accomplishments, many shady connections, andlacks the judgment and character to disassociate such persons, and is an influential orator. We as Americanshave to be stronger than to be influenced by words alone, even such powerful ones. The speaking style offrowning and angrily pointing while speaking angrily as part of covert hypnosis in public speeches is notused by Obama alone, but also was used by at least one other hypnotist in history who got millions to followhim. 191 192 193 190 Jackie Mason on Obama’s change in every major position, See amazing video of Obama at 4:40 changing his position on Iran at http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=416920035333614716&ei=uffkSIHzBZjUqAOqg- GZCw&q=jackie+mason+obama+iran&vt=lf . 191 http://www.theblackvault.com/article-print-8227.html . See also, “He also maintained his almost hypnotic power over his entourage and the masses” http://www.grolier.com/wwii/wwii_hitler.html Also, One of the books Hitler is believed to havebeen particularly interested in was the work of the French psychologist Gustave Le Bon. Le Bon (1841-1931), had written a bookentitled Psychology of the Masses. It had been translated into German in 1908, and records show a copy was delivered to thelibrary frequented by Hitler that same year. Le Bon's book describes his theories on crowds and their behaviour. He hadidentified that group behaviour could be manipulated by hypnotic suggestion, and that few individuals in a crowd possess asufficiently strong personality to resist such suggestion. http://ezinearticles.com/?Inspiration,-Motivation-and-the-Link-to- Hypnosis---Article-Five&id=988173

One must wonder the true nature of a person who is willing to literally hypnotize us likechildren, in order to try and manipulate us into voting for him by sidelining our rational judgment. Obamais effectively saying, “the voter cannot be trusted to make this a logical decision, I will decide for them.”This is a frightening character trait suggestive of someone who almost believes he is some type of Messiah.Obama’s hyper-confidence alone is frightening. He is neither simply confident nor overconfident nor evensimply arrogant. Obama’s aura almost suggests he believes himself to be Messianic, and his right to thePresidency long overdue and unquestionable. Not to mention his right to hypnotize millions to get thatPresidency absolute. There was a moment during the Clinton primaries, where Bill Clinton made somestrong statements against Obama, and Obama’s reaction to the former President was clearly one of beingannoyed. It is questionable what type of psychological g-d complex or other abnormality would makeObama look down upon a former President as annoying.Obama’s insulting hand gestures provide more insight into his disturbing true nature that he successfullyhides 99% of the time, that of someone who uses psychologically manipulative subconscious techniques toimplant second-grade school-yard insults in the minds of unaware voters. Obama’s use of hypnosis onmillions of people without our knowledge nor permission is unparalleled subterfuge. What kind of personpresumes that they have the right to hypnotize Americans like children, and use mind control techniqueswhich circumvent our rational judgment? But even more amazingly, what type of person runs for Presidentof the United States with such behavior? - repeatedly flashing such insulting hand gestures at his opponents,trying to send subconscious messages? It is beyond obnoxious. Only a disturbed individual would think heis slippery enough to get away with something like this. Only a disturbed person would think they shouldget away with something like this, and with no accomplishments having never run anything become leaderof the free world. Only a disturbed individual who thinks he can do absolutely anything would try, becauseto any sane person running for President, the risks of being caught would outweigh the potential rewards ofsuch behavior. The hypnosis, trying to fool an entire nation, the obscene hand gestures towards hisopponents again and again. Obama’s actions present the frightening picture of a genuinely perverted man,an egomaniac hypnotist with a g-d complex grown from his ability to get millions to eat out of his hand.The fact that he refers to his own message as a light shining down from above. The fact that he refers tohimself as an epiphany. The fact that he does hand gestures to make it look like he is parting the water likeMoses. The fact that he does all those other things to make people like Nancy Pelosi come out and say he is‘sent by g-d.”One must also wonder what would happen to this country if Obama won, and only afterwards was ituncovered how he used hypnosis to gain the Presidency. What if upon discovery, many said they would nothave voted for him otherwise? Those entrusted with protecting our democracy must do a better jobprotecting it. Our entire nation was almost lost to a con-man.The media may avoid this story for a number of reasons. Maybe it is too complicated for them, doesn’t fit asound byte mold, or maybe cannot be delivered in a 60 second news story before moving on. Then again, itmay be the most watched news story from now until the election. This story must break. People must knowwhat is happening and those who help spread this word may be looked back on as heroic defenders ofdemocracy. Let’s learn from history, not learn that we can repeat it. Our democracy is on the line. 192 Compare the angry frowning and angry pointing and speaking style of Obama http://www.mikefrancesa.com/wordpress/?p=1011 193 Compare the angry frowning and angry pointing and speaking style of Obama 18:00minutes into his California Democratic National Convention speech with the individual on this video http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=- 211746012802428229&ei=h-PESJCLBqfcqAO3s5S3BQ&q=adolph+hitler+speech+1933&vt=lf

AN EXAMINATION OF OBAMA’S USE OF HIDDEN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES IN HIS SPEECHESEXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY 67The effects of his hypnosis must be cancelled out by people starting to take a rational look at who he is,including the media. It is certainly a concern that this type of hypnosis is so effective that even afterlearning what Obama is doing, many may still not believe and accept that Obama is hypnotizing them andthat they might not otherwise vote for him. 194 It is my hope that the effects of all of Obama’s hypnotic andsubconscious tactics are wiped away and neutralized completely...that everyone now be allowed to thinkand make logical and rational decisions. £ ¤£ ¡ Personal Notes:Mr. Obama,Your attempt to gain the Presidency of the United States by hypnotizing Americans has failed.You shall not pass! You have been stopped, because you nether deserve the Presidency, nordoes America deserve your fraud and deception. It is quite clear that, after Americans find outwho you really are, including your use of hypnosis, you will never have even a remote chance atthe Presidency again. You have been stopped because your deception has been found out. Youwere a master of influence, able to influence millions. You were impervious to scrutiny that couldeasily eliminate any other candidate. However, exposing your use of hypnosis is what shatters allof your other deceptions. You have been stopped by one anonymous patriot with a pure heartwho is able to see you for who you really are. There are those more powerful than you, Obama,looking out for truth, justice, and the American way. As the words of my favorite song go,“Sinnerman, where you gonna run to?”Dear Friends,Thank you to all who have helped communicate this message, including by sending it to friendsand posting it on websites in its entirety, so that everyone could judge and understand forthemselves the real “Obama phenomenon.” I would also like to thank all the psychologists,hypnotists, and other experts who come out and help confirm the substance of this document.You are all part of this victory over deception, and for democracy. 194 “The unconscious mind is the source of our energy.
