How to make a Manchurian Candidate: the Soviet Art of Brainwashing: A synthesis of the Soviet Textbook on Psychopolitics Paperback – Illustrated, March 31, 2009

This book is important. It is very important. Beria was a crazed killer, but not crazy. He did infiltrate the US, the UK, Germany, etc. with many key agents, as well as brainwash key statesmen. This book shows how.

This should be required reading for every child in high school and every parent thinking of sending their children off to college, where our kids are brainwashed with communism. This explains why vast numbers if college kid support an openly Socialist like Bernie Sanders.

Amazon recommended me this book after I looked at a few on neuro-linguistic programming and interview/interrogation techniques. I expected a scholarly overview of the Soviet counterparts to US military field manuals for handling of prisoners of war, or a more in-depth training course for specialized breakdown and conversion methods honed in decades of gulags. What I got was the classic "instead of office chair package contained bobcat. Would not buy again."In short, this book is a pamphlet full of paranoid ranting about the insidious plot of Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify our precious bodily fluids. It's a self-published Loompanics reject that's slightly less coherent than the Timecube website. It's an all-uppercase frenzied series of soviet screwtape letters, and I believe its author put much more effort into the various supportive reviews of it than he did into the original publication.

It was very educational to read how brain-washing is done by the KGB, (there are many books on how the CIA does its brain-washing), esp. as the Soviet's were such masters at it.One wonders how many MC's there are still, going about their business waiting for their wake up call.One also wonders, as these training manuals are released by a money short ex-Soviet agencies, what trouble the world is in for, as more and more people learn how to add to the worlds troubles by creating more and more brain-washed people. Even something as non-political as men trying to influence women, trainers using these methods to 'train' people etc....there could be negative, very negative, consequences.That is the price we pay for freedom, the freedom to learn how to brainwash others.

This is so wild, I was blown away.I have watched the movies called the Manchurian Candidate, and I had read about Soviet mind control, (which was before my time), and how the Soviets were in America trying to undermine our society, etc.I could never really understand how this could happen, or really if it could until I read this book.This book is about how they could come in and take over or reshape public opinion, and or an individual to make them just do what they want, or to not worry about an issue, (like missiles in Cuba), etc.Amazing book, and as I am interested in marketing, there are (sadly) some overlaps.Amazing!

I don't know what concerns me more, that a country was working on this to hurt our country, or the fact that anyone can read this book and make use of it too.Its very practical, full of techniques, strategies, resources and nightmare potential. The impact of someone or some country or group using this book for their own negative ends is very scary. In one way its a landmark just to be able to read this, and to see and know how to brainwash not just one person but entire groups of people, I think the information here is unprecedented. But its too practical to be out in the open like this.Scary!

I bought this book just 'because' - I wanted to see what the Soviets had to say about his. What a spooky group. I now look back at events and see how they were manipulated.Sadly, anyone with this information and the desire can do it any time - and its my guess that they are.Not only do you get the text book on 'how to manipulate' people and socity, but you will also never read the newspaper the same way again.

Amazing find!Here in black and white is how the former evil empire planned to brainwash all of us. Right from the horses mouth, (Beria the killer KGB head), covers the ways to take over America by brainwashing methods.We are lucky to have these books, all I worry about is that its all happening again, only its closer to home.Truly an amazing find! Pass this book to your friends!
