Are you a scouser?
In traditional societies individuals that have a profound epiphany or revelations have a breakdown and recover. During the change over they do
eccentric things, speak in metaphors and have trouble articulating the sudden insights they experience.
In our apparently rational world, those that fail to articulate and reason their sudden awareness are immediately labelled crazy. The breakdown I
referred to is not about clinical mental illness but rather a crisis from realising ones awareness of life and society is contrary to what is commonly
accepted. The closest analogy is a young boy suddenly realises his football hero is fallible. It is about negotiating a great disappoint and
reconstructing your world view.
Normally this kind of thing happens to people who suddenly 'find' God and transition through this metamorphosis by using readily established
framework of religion. No one would consider this change as mental illness.
More insidiously, this transformation can be forcibly induced and is more commonly known as 'mind control' or 'brainwashing'. Unlike religious or
conscience awakenings, which are products of free will, induced transformation is purely the product of an instigator separate to the individual being
targeted.
Anyone defying someone's will in order to brainwash is malignant and a negative influence. They merely take advantage of the brains wiring and
cognitive functions through abuse and stress to reinforce external ideology or belief systems. This is why cults and the security services use it to
cause defection.
Now the knowledge of these techniques are more widespread, even criminals use these methods. More often than not the objective is purely destructive
and with the intention to fix aberrant, abhorrent and psychological changes in a victim and no more.
In no way am I suggesting that David Icke has had any kind of transformation but the theory gives possible explanation for the comments he made in the
past and leads you to make your conclusions.
