, 20:15, April 8, 2009→"Far fetched": This is important, please follow up
::In 1960 the assassination plot was far fetched but not the brainwashing. For example Ronald Reagan starred in a 1954 fil, "Prisoner of War" that showed highly effective Communist brainwashing in Korea. Unless our users know that they will be baffled by the film. Whether this sort of brainwashing is or is not thought possible in 2009 is a different issue deserves a separate article on brainwashing. [[User:RJJensen|RJJensen]] 08:33, 28 March 2009 (EDT)

:::I think I know much more than the average person about attempts to "[[brainwash]]", but I wonder how effective the North Koreans really were. Did as many as 1 man in 10 voluntarily refuse repatriation after being released from captivity and torture? The [http://www.tcm.turner.com/thismonth/article.jsp?cid=161300&mainArticleId=218460 film review] mentions "so-called ‘defectors’—the American G.I.s who went over to the Communist side" but does not give statistics.
:::My concern is twofold. I am interested in why people support regimes that murder, and I am also trying to dispel the false accusation that religious groups such as the [[Unification Church]] (of which I am a member) have discovered a way to coerce people into joining them - even though they plainly do not resort to [[torture]] or [[imprisonment]]. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 16:15, 8 April 2009 (EDT)
