This also has elements of the "5 monkey experiment" in conditioning.
5 monkeys are placed in a room with a ladder in the center, which has a banana at the top. However, as any monkey begins to climb the ladder, the rest are sprayed with water. Pretty soon, the monkeys are actively preventing each other from climbing the ladder, as none of them wants to be sprayed with water. After enough time has passed, the water spraying is ended- but the monkeys do not learn this, as they refuse to allow any monkey to climb the ladder and find out. They remember being sprayed all too well, and do not want to endure it again.
Soon, one of the monkeys is taken out and replaced with a new monkey. This one sees the banana and begins to climb- but the other monkeys, feeling they have seen this before, jump on the new monkey and drag it down. The new monkey quickly learns: anyone who tries to climb the ladder is pulled down. It learns not to climb, and to pull down any others who do. But it does not know why- this is simply the way things are.
This process is repeated until, one by one, all the original monkeys have been replaced. The room is now populated by monkeys who will refuse to climb the ladder, and will not allow any others to climb. And not one of them knows why.
Very well stated. Pathetic. A dire reminder to beware and be aware.
I boycott the scanner and I submit to the molestation. At least the molester is human. The experience is not violent, not even particularly offensive. It's actually a quiet, personal moment between pawns who are being forced by forces outside their control to pantomime a ritual. The human touch is intimate but impersonal, relaxing in the way that gentle human touch can be. I recommend it. Every time I have flown (which is very rare) I have had a respectful interaction with a human being who happens to be a TSA agent.
While the rest of the sheep are getting barked at by cranky TSA louts, I have resisted (to a small degree). I swim upstream and put a snag into their mechanized concentration camp efficiency. I force them to find a person among their ranks who is still human enough to ask to touch another person. The human interaction changes us both for the better.
I am always in a better mood after being massaged by a TSA agent. The disgust returns when I look around me at the other sheep lining up to get x-rayed. Obviously we are ruled by losers because we deserve nothing better.
I am not offended by people. I am offended by machines. I am offended when I see people voluntarily entering machines to be analyzed and photographed. This is an interaction that dehumanizes the victims as well as the victimizers.
Not everyone complies.
I boycott.
Thanks!
"Engaging in the degradation, humiliation, dehumanization and molestation of innocent people which is its real raison d’être."
God damn I don't know how people can continually find the time energy and willingness to expose this sludge. I so appreciate it. Much desire for your prosperity and health.
You are totally right about the TSA, it is all about dehumanizing people and conditioning them to accept authority. Historically these methods were used on people in the military and in prisons, but the problem is that never touched middle class people so they had to find a way to do that.
You should however do more research into the "Milgram study" because in fact he did a whole bunch of them. They had many different experimental conditions they tested and only in one of them did they get the levels of compliance you describe. If they changed any of the conditions they would get far less compliance. For example without the experimenters wearing lab coats people would almost never follow through.
"but the problem is that never touched middle class people so they had to find a way to do that."
What touched the middle class was schooling which has the same purpose. Different strokes for different folks one might say. Military and prison are for those who don't learn in schools. They have it covered.

Here's a excerpt:
"Two years before I ran across that Atlantic broadside, I encountered a different analysis in the financial magazine Forbes. I was surprised to discover Forbes had correctly tracked the closest inspiration for school psychologizing, both its aims and its techniques, to the pedagogy of China and the Soviet Union. Not similar practices and programs, mind you, identical ones. The great initial link with Russia, I knew, had been from the Wundtian Ivan Pavlov, but the Chinese connection was news to me. I was unaware then of John Dewey’s tenure there in the 1920s, and had given no thought, for that reason, to its possible significance:
"The techniques of brainwashing developed in totalitarian countries are routinely used in psychological conditioning programs imposed on school children. These include emotional shock and desensitization, psychological isolation from sources of support, stripping away defenses, manipulative cross-examination of the individual’s underlying moral values by psychological rather than rational means. These techniques are not confined to separate courses or programs...they are not isolated idiosyncracies of particular teachers. They are products of numerous books and other educational materials in programs packaged by organizations that sell such curricula to administrators and teach the techniques to teachers. Some packages even include instructions on how to deal with parents and others who object."
they don't strip kids down in school like they used to, they don't really change for gym, they need to go to the airport for that.
I believe the TSA by nature is a direct violation of the 4th Amendment (no unreasonable searches) - is there any known case of the people trying this in a court of law?
This could be one way to at least fight against them.
Pathetic the depths to which humanity sinks again and again.
Renewal, rebirth, re-awakening, evolution, revolution... it's time to out-fox the foxes.
I strongly believe the NAZIES and SOVIETS never went away . They just intergrated to our REPUBLIC . And are the DISEASE infecting our CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC . We need a VACCINE ❗️
"Nope...no weapons of mass destruction over here..."
TSA needs to be dissolved, it's not there to Protect you, dear America.. in fact, quite the opposite
