Korean Brainwashing

North Georgia's Democrats have sharp minds and good memories, unlike Republicans, even John McCain, former prisoner of war.

During and after the Korean War, America was shocked by the treatment of American POWs. This treatment, designed to make prisoners sign false confessions, became known as brainwashing.

Brainwashing, such an interesting term in the context of memory and sharp minds. Some of the militarys sharpest minds weren't sharp enough to remember Korea and brainwashing.

In North Korea, and maybe in China, our captured troops were psychologically tortured until their minds were cleaned of patriotism, a sense of duty to their fellow prisoners, and that sense of personal honor.

Rightfully, we honored all the POWs who returned home with full military benefits and analysis of how such brave men could be forced into signing false confessions of germ warfare, murder of civilians, and atrocities.

It is an atrocity to learn how our military has directly adopted the Chinese and North Korean methods. Those methods were designed to break a mans mind and reprogram that mind into a willing tool of Communist Propaganda.

Have we, in the 50 years since the Korean War become Communist butchers, torturers, and brainwashers?

The military has been teaching the Chinese brainwashing techniques as revealed in Congressional Testimony. In that testimony, the military claimed it was not using torture on detainees in the great War on Terror. Terror detainees were subjected to techniques outline in a chart. That chart was copied from a 1957 article entitled, “Communist Attempts to Elicit False Confessions From Air Force Prisoners of War.” The article was written by Alfred D. Biderman, a sociologist hired by the U.S. military!

The military wanted to know what kind of torture was used by the North Koreans and the Chinese to change our men, to brainwash their minds, and to harm those men. Men, like Biderman, were hired to write detailed reports on the very effective tortured used in brainwashing.

Now, that very brainwashing, torture is being used as standard military operating procedure.

Godless Communism has won the war after all.
