The Occupy Movement in Danger From Within

Anon | 05.12.2011 01:18

Tavistock Institute "social engineers" or "new-science social scientists" who specialise in sophisticated mind control techniques, including group dynamics, are working as facilitators within Occupy groups worldwide.

Tonight I came across something that literally sent a chill down my spine. The source of my concern and the reason I'm writing this post is the practise of Social Dreaming Events (SDE). According to blurb on the related website,

'The task of the SDE is to associate to dreams made available to the Social Dreaming Event in order to make links and find connections between individual thought and social meaning. The social context in which these social dreaming events are taking place is the Occupy movement as a protest against the anti-social consequences of capitalism.

Social Dreaming was invented in 1982 by Dr Gordon Lawrence, a social scientist working at the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations, as a form of enquiry into social phenomena through the use of dreams.

Since the 9th of November regular Social Dreaming Events (SDEs) have been taking place at Tent City University, Finsbury Square, London, facilitated by the staff and colleagues of the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations.

SDE facilitators are working at St Paul’s and in other cities around the world – Tel Aviv, New York, Melbourne, Bristol, Dublin and elsewhere.

The chilling thing is the involvement of the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations.

The Tavistock Institute has long been identified by a variety of credentialed researchers as an influence in British Psychological Warfare. The propaganda and public opinion manipulations (including mind control agendas) orchestrated by the Tavistock Institute is covered at length in, for instance, the books of David Icke and Dr John Coleman . Dr. Coleman, former intelligence officer with Britain's MI6 and author of Conspirators Hierarchy, The Committee of 300, was one of the first writers to bring the world's attention to the existence of the pivotal role that Tavistock plays in shaping political, social, educational, and economic 'opinions' worldwide.

Research shows that Institute facilitators, so-called "social engineers" or "new-science social scientists" specialise sophisticated mind control techniques, including group dynamics.

I can't stress how important it is for people within the movement to examine the history, activities and connections of the Tavistock Institute, something which should have been done before inviting them in to set up structures in which member's subconscious processes are being handed to them on a plate. I find it unbelievable that this has been allowed to happen.

Don't take my word for it, please, please do your own research. the following is a sample of what other researchers have found out, followed by a few links that can serve as starting points for research.

Tavistock Institute is the social puppetmaster, shaping political, social, educational, and economic 'opinions'. Their psychological shock troops include psychiatrists, educators, intelligence and military personnel. Their specialty is command and control problems. Rand, Brookings Institute, and SRI are other key players. The A.K. Rice Institute is a US clone of Tavistock.

The conference culture with facilitators and consultants originated with Tavistock. "The Tavistock Primer" is an organizational Bible for group relations, including mythical or archetypal dynamics. When individuals gather, collective identity emerges.

Groups tend to behave "as if" certain assumptions are true. This assumption identity is never exhausted. Groups have overt and covert aspects, including fantasies, fears and doubts about power and authority. Ordinary people gain power by acting collectively.

The Tavistock method, developed in the '40s by Wilfred Bion, capitalizes on treating the group as a collective entity. The group behaves as a system whose first goal is survival. Projection drives us to disown undesirable parts of ourselves. ( http://collectivepsyche.iwarp.com/whats_new_22.html)

I personally don't agree with everything said on those links, but you don't have to to see that the smoke that I see could be coming from a fire that could burn the whole house down.

Please pass this on to all involved. Knowledge is power. Get clued up and start protecting yourselves, each other, and the movement.

In solidarity,

David Icke?

instantly discredited yourself by using David Icke as a source.

They guy is either a lunatic or taking the piss out of the whole conspiracy bullshit and making a fortune out of it at the same time. Either way why would you try and back up a point using him?

This is information that is new and incredibly relevant- our people are putting their minds in the hands of known mind-control experts!!! WHY???
Leave David Icke-aphobia out of it, that's not the point. The point is we could be at a pivotal point in world politics and 'they' are going to get mean and nasty. We must learn to protect ourselves and each other. They want us biting each other, Icke's on our side!! Wake up.

This doesn't surprise me at all.

Back in the eighties, I had the misfortune to be taught by someone who's now pretty big in the Tavistock while on a course at the then North London Poly.

There was at that time a 2 year social work course, all mature (many in 30s and 40s), mainly women and many black students. This guy took them on a residential, 'experiential' weekend near the beginning of their course and encouraged them to explore issues of race and sex. It brought out a lot of issues, which he then completely failed to help them deal with, so the group returned with relations between women and men, and between white and black pretty much completely broken down. The repercussions continued for the whole two years.

Meanwhile, on our social studies/social work course, he ran the 'group work' module. Being adults, it was up to us whether or not we attended lectures and seminars, but he announced on the first day that his were diffferent. They were compulsory. His argument was that group work demanded commitment and that the experiential course wouldn't work if we didn't attend every week. However, he didn't ask for our commitment - he told us that he was requiring us to attend every week or we'd get in trouble. I seem to recall that his classes were pretty poorly attended thereafter. I certainly made a point of not going every week.

One session I did get to sticks in my mind. He asked for a volunteer from the group who was then encouraged to do a 'sculpt' of the group - placing people in the physical space in the room to represent her perception of the group interactions/relations. He watched while she placed someone standing on a chair on a desk, another person curled up in a ball under a desk and a chain of people facing towards each other in a ring, with one of them turned so she was facing away. There may have been more significant placements but those are the ones I remember. He asked people to say how they felt about how they had been placed, listened with some relish while they tried to describe their feelings of anger and rejection etc., then broke up the session without any attempt at resolution.

He's gone on to great things at the Tavistock so, like I said, this news doesn't surprise me.

Oh, the other thing I strongly remember about him was that he both chewed nicotine chewing gum and smoked heavily.

David Icke is a/ insane b/ deeply racist, any one who thinks he's credible source is, I agree, totally discredited

Occupy Movement and the Tavistock Institute

The article makes a valid point and discusses an important issue. Anyone not familiar with the history and connections of the Tavistock Institute will find all they need at the selection of links supplied. The organisation has a sordid history and some very dodgy links and has long been recognised as a major influence in Psychological Operations worldwide.

Anyone who hasn't done their research isn't qualified to comment. Objections based on opinions of personalities is ridiculous and self-defeating. anon2, you say Anon instantly discredited themselves when actually what happened was that you instantly dismissed what they had to say based on two words in the article. If you don't like the 'I' word, just ignore it and carry on. None of the links provided are from Icke, Do you have a similar objection to Dr Coleman, or have you tarred him with the same brush because his name was put in the same sentence. If you haven't done yet, do your research, find your own information sources if you must. I guarantee you Icke objections will pale into insignificance next to the sense of danger that the Tavistock Institute presents to the Occupy Movement. Anon, you've done the movement a service. I agree, it's unbelievable that these spooks have been allowed to a) penetrate the movement and b) access people subconscious processes.

Knowledge is power. Your ignorance is their bliss

They are publishing the results here; hard to tell at first glance whether this is harmless or not:

I suppose they could be analysing the results for clients with a vested interest in understanding the movement in order to co-opt it? Or they could just be enthusiastic researchers happy to have an interesting test case?

Tavistock Institute - for us or against us?

07.12.2011 08:03

Jim Keith was one of the primary political researcher/writers of the late twentieth century. His work exposed many CIA, FBI, and other intelligence service 'Black Ops' activities. He died in 1999 under questionable circumstances. He discusses the Tavistock Institute in his book, Control of the masses – The Engineering of the Human Consciousness. In that book he quotes a Dr. William Sargent of the Tavistock Institute who wrote Battle for the Mind - A Physiology of Conversion and Brain-Washing, a method based on the theories of German psychologist Kurt Lewin. Onetime Director of the Tavistock Institute, Lewin was one of the creators of the American Intelligence network, the Office of Strategic Services, which eventually morphed into the CIA. His focus was 'group dynamics'.

The Institute funds itself with grants from the Rockerfeller and Carnegie Foundations, The Home Office, and substantial grants from 'unidentified' sources.

Sounds like the 1% is hiding under the bed of the 99%.

thanks

Thanks for posting this, doing some research and inviting us to do our own. This is the point, isn't it. 'WE' must think individually and act autonomously within whatever group we are a part of. We mustn't get lazy and stop questioning everything. We must be vigilant so that things that make us uncomfortable can be openly discussed without fear of being silenced or ridiculed by a large group. We can also educate ourselves to recognise manipulation. For example, I know when someone is using NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) on me because I've read up on it and been shown how it works. It doesn't mean I'll drum that person out of town, it means I'll double-check what I really think and feel without that person's influence.

Action for change on Sunday 11th December and Thursday 22nd December 2011

08.12.2011 23:15

On the below link is a video with a bit of science with regard to past military experiments blah blah blah, listen to it for yourself.

Ive spent a rather depressing night looking at the world news via reddit. namely torture camps in Egypt, Russian leader Putin blaming USA for his peoples protest regarding corruption in the election and possible UK near future involvement with the USA in Iran. Whats going on in the world ? Who wants this crap ? not me or any of the people i know.

Reading about the Tavistock institute what can I say about it ? Who knows whats true in this world ? I know I feel helpless to make a change. Our politicians dont listen to us. David Cameraman calling the N30 strike action a damp squid, Jeremy Clarkson seeming to step up to take the flack away from his friend. I could go on. Read the weblink below and watch the video. Lets get together on Sunday the 11th and then on the 22nd of December 2011. I'm hoping we can change the world peacefully. We deserve it, we the 99%.

Common Purpose

05.01.2012 10:21

Very alarming although sadly not suprising that Occupy movement is possibly being covertly manipulated by unseen forces. I have had a growing concern ever since the Moderators on Occupy's FB page started to censor (block) certain individuals from expressing their opinions and providing links to certain information. Right now there seems to be a lot of power struggles and in fighting amongst the occupiers as individuals with their own veiws or who are asking awkward questions are targeted! Occupy Wall St has had many links with George Sorros exposed as well as an organisation called OTPOR, a Serbian company that specialises in generating and organising Civil unrest and it has been claimed, the uprisings in the Middle East. I am a bit suprised though that Tavistock institute have been linked directly with the Occupiers, i would have thought they would have influenced via one of the affiliated organisations such as Common Purpose, run by Julia Middleton who under the guise of a charity have been manipulating and "training" future leaders since the late 1980's using Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) Courses. Liberty has very close links to this organisation and are also heavily involved with Occupy London!
Police Forces, Judicial, Government, local Councils, NHS Management, Education Authorities, Big Business, National Media and many more organisations have all spent Millions on training that is kept secret by enforcing the Chatham House rule. A rule that was introduced just after the Second World War to ensure anonyminity for Countries negotiating the fate of Europe. Why should a supposed Charity need such secrecy? For years they operated from Tavistock House although i gather they have since moved.Here is a link for Common Purpose Exposed for anyone interested.  http://cpexposed.com/

Information or disinformation?

07.01.2012 16:00

The original comment about the Tavistock institute was interesting, convincing and motivated me to look at the links provided in order to find out more.

All three links provide views that could be put in a category, under the heading "conspiracy theories". There are people who reject them without question and others who accept them without question. I think its easy to get sucked into such ideas in the same way people love reading sci-fi and fantasy novels which are much more readable than your standard history, politics or economics text.

The author of "Hitler was a British agent" has got his own website where he is making money out of this and other books. The author of the page which introduces the book jumps from topic to topic with no coherent connection to the points being made and mentions so many things which it would take a while to research.

The other guy John Coleman is also selling a lot of books. I don't know if he is the same John Coleman who has denied climate change.

How do we know its not these guys who are Illuminati? Giving some of their insider truth, mixed with fantasy and simplifications of history.

They mention the Jewish bankers- why is the fact that they're are Jewish an issue?

Socialism is among the group of Illuminati controlled organisations but the word "capitalism" is not mentioned once- the issue for them is not capitalism which makes me wonder sometimes if its the spread of disinformation through conspiracies that is working to control peoples minds as a way of discrediting progressive movements and those looking for alternatives to capitalism who end up being seen as crazy by the general public because of an obsession with 9/11 or whatever new truth everyone must know because its that which will change everything.

Its good to question everything. If your mind is closed you learn nothing new and don't allow your beliefs to be challenged but if you leave your mind open to everything you might just fill it with shit. In other words, stay in reality; which is very big.

I haven't made up my mind yet and I would like to do more research and write about it on my blog. I've left my email and welcome anyone to send me more information on this area.

I can understand why you might feel that disinformation could be spread through conspiracies, and I completely agree that this could be possible.
I believe that that there could be some conspiracies out there that are designed to confuse and spread disinformation to make it more difficult to discover the truth.
In regards to the subject of manipulating the masses, I think that as a good start you might want to watch a documenary by Adam Curtis called the Century of the Self where Curtis looks at the works of Edward Bernays the so called father of public relations and the Nephew of Sigmund Freud.
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmUzwRCyTSo
It just so happens to be the work of Sigmund Freud that Tavistock uses in it's methodology to influence society through psychological techniques, which Bernays later copied for his use in public relations.
Although at the time he wasn't the only person to use public relations strategies to influence the public, Ivy Lee did too and was employed by the Rockefellers after the Ludlow mining massacre in the United States after public opinion turned against the them, it was the job of Ivy Lee to turn public opinion back to show the Rockefellers in a favourable light.
It should be noted that afterwards the Rockefeller Foundation gave support to the Tavistock Institute and helped make it what it is today.

Something else that should be of interest concerning this subject is that in his huge book Tragedy and Hope Professor Carroll Quigley American historian and theorist of the evolution of civilizations, Georgetown University claimed that it was New York bankers who financed the Bolshevik revolution and also it was his assertion that secret societies have played a significant role in recent world history.

Also, we should remember that due to the lack of empathy shown by the Royals after the death of Diana, public opinion began to move away from them, it was then that the cogs of the British establishment began to turn to reverse the situation, and within a short while the public was once again having it's love affair with the Royals. I believe that it was these same methods that were used to sway public opinion.

We have to ask ourselves are the elite or the 1% really going to allow the public to destroy or take away everything they have built up over many many years without a fight, albeit a fight taking place quietly in the background without our knowledge, or as Noam Chomsky might put it, with "Manufactured Consent"

"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.
We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized." - Edward Bernays

Hope this helps.
