And he approached this as a psychiatrist, as a practitioner, and came up with this framework.

Well, the framework, Glenn, is applicable to some of the brainwashing, some of the things we see going on here in America today.

And so that's why the book, it's history, but it's a history that informs what's happening right now.

And the gender madness we're seeing is a huge part of chapter two.

Yes, there is a similarity.

Now, the reason I broke it down into the chapters, the chapters are essentially all variations on the theme of what we call brainwashing.

That's the most general term.

Practitioners, Glenn, psychiatrists, they'll actually call it mind control or coercive mind control.

And that will include things like cult indoctrination.

In the book, I get into, under the identity construction chapter, I'll get into jihadis, I get into some of the cult stuff.

Om Shinrikyo.

And that's stuff that people should be very aware of as well because it's effectively a totalitarian state without the state.

It's the full control of individuals that is achieved through this mind control process without having a massive secret police.

It's one thing for the Soviet Union to do it.

It's another thing for Maoist China to do it.

But to operate on an individual or much smaller basis, that's obviously what you see going on in cults.

But I break this down and do conditioning, and I start with Pavlov.

Fascinating stuff about Ivan Pavlov, Nobel laureate, and really the beginning of our scientific conception of understanding that what your brain is taking in affects your body directly, right?

And you get into sort of the reflex and the conditional reflex, which is initially what it was called.

We call it conditioning now.
