This should not be lost, even if the present article is not the best place for it. All our readers would like to know what motivates terrorists, such as the [[suicide bomber]]s. What sort of inducement do their masters use? Drugs, sex, promises of eternal bliss or of large cash payments to family survivors? --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 15:59, 8 April 2009 (EDT)

::the "Communist brainwashing" idea really bothered Americans at the time, hence several novels and movies--we still have movies about the "programmed killer". There was no brainwashing in Korea. A tiny proportion (under 1/10 of 1%) decided voluntarily to stay with the Communists; most later came home The training of assassins who are aware of what they are doing is entirely a different matter, and is not part of brainwashing or hypnosis.

==Promotes idea of brainwashing==
Not particularly conservative to promote anti-scientific hogwash like [[mind control]]. Remember, it is chiefly liberals who oppose science, because a scientific idea can be proven wrong.
Moreover "brainwashing" was used to persecute new religions in the 1970s until the APA told [[mind control]] advocates to put or shut up, and they had to fold. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 21:45, 1 August 2012 (EDT)
