Backwards Masking
Backwards Masking is the Occult practice of recording speech that, when played backwards, has a different message. The idea behind this practice is that while the concious mind can only hear the forward, innocuous speech, the subconscious mind will absorb the reversed message.[1]
"In January, 1983, Congressman Jack McCoy (D-AR) proposed legislation(HR336) that would require albums which utilized "back-masking" to bear warning labels. If such a record failed to display such a warning, then it would be confiscated. It passed 18-13 in the House Committee on Public Health, and 83-0 in the full House vote. When it got to the Senate, they amended the penalty to a Class A Misdemeanor, and when it was sent back to the House for concurrence, they tabled it. McCoy vowed to reintroduce the Bill during the next session of Congress." [2]
