BHO and NLP??

We have all seen them. In fact, we all probably know some. Call them "Obots," "Obama Zombies," or "Kool-Aid Drinkers," but they are all the same really. Distinctive in the identification of these characters is a near mindless obsession of purpose - much like the ghouls in George Romero's film The Night of the Living Dead. But unlike the mindless undead of classic cinema, it is not "Brains" these Zombies crave - but rather "Change."

Many have wondered what would cause such slavish, near fanatical devotion to an individual who prior to being elected POTUS, (and as a part-time U.S. Senator) has never really done much of anything truly substantive, other that giving a couple of good speeches. However, it may be in the speeches themselves or perhaps more appropriately, in the way they were delivered where the answer may lie.

Dr. Milton Erickson, M.D (1901-1980) was the founding president of the founding president of the American Society for Clinical Hypnosis. Dr. Erickson was also influential in the development of a hypnotic techniques known as Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP). NLP is a type of "conversational" hypnosis that could be hidden in normal speech and used on subjects without them even being aware of what was happening to them.

For much, much more on the this highly interesting topic and how it may very well apply to BHO's meteoric rise to power, please Click here . This very interesting piece (more of a small book actually!) is very well researched, informative and extremely relevant to what is happening here today. It is a long read, but in my opinion quite worth a look.
