RALPH
REED AND THE SIX MIND-TOOLS
by Rev. Ed Hubbard
Ralph Reed is the most dedicated Christian Strategist in the
country, working closely with the Religious Right and the current elections. He writes and
formulates policies on elections and issues for Christian Organizations and Government
Officials. And his decisions comes with millions of dollars of Christian Coalition Special
Interest Dollars.
Who is Ralph Reed? Ralph Reed is the protege of Pat Robertson.
Brought on as a director of the Christian Coalition, being a position nominally abandoned
by Pat Robertson during his presidential campaign, Ralph Reed has become the chief
advocate of the Religious Christian
Community. Currently, he is a campaign consultant to George W. Bush, and openly
speaks out about the need to be a religious advocate. Ralph has moved out of pure
religious organizations to become director of Century Strategies http://www.censstrat.com, which allows him to work
fully in the political field without constraints.
Why am I mentioning Ralph Reed? Because he allegedly commissioned
a report recently, on laws pertaining to Witchcraft throughout the United States for the
purpose of incremental enforcement of laws on the federal basis. Further, according to
sources seeks to denounce Witchcraft as a legal religion through the courts if necessary.
He is a long term strategist, and he is only 38 years old. And he sees the Pagan Community
as a potential voting issue and media attention attractor. He is just waiting for the
right moment and then he will use us to further his cause. Never forget, George Bush Jr.
has made promises to eliminate Wicca from the Military, as President. Mr. Reed would
assure Bush carries out that promise. I mention him know those who would take from you
your rights in the name of God.
How will he do it? Here are the six mind-tools used by social
propagandists, political consultants, and governmental officials use to
incite the public.
These are the tools of the Media War.
 Mind-tool One is
Atrocity Allegations. In it's most common form, it is the accusal of ritual murder,
infanticide, rape, sexual depravity, mass murder and so on. This can go deeper, with
unfounded and untrue statements as well as true statements of small numbers of people,
left to fester. Remember, an Atrocity accusation can even be as simple as thewear black
because they are afraid of the light, as long as it isolates the community member.
Mind-tool Two is Hyperbolic Inflation of the Stakes. This recently took form in Bosnia
when NATO stated if we do not stop Serbia we will have another Hitler, and fight a larger
war. For us, If children are allowed to wear Pentagrams soon all our children will be.
Further, If children are allowed to practice Wicca then they will become involved with
*put you own derogatory here*.
These first two mind-tools create a powerful argument, no matter
how true or false. Simply put, atrocity and Hyperbolic inflation assures that even if you
are not sure it is true, you don't dare defend them in case it is true, and you certainly
don't become involved.
The Third mind-tool is Demonetization and Dehumanization. In every conflict, the enemy must
not have a human face. Broad brushes are used to slander and deprive human feelings for
the attacked, otherwise onewould have to consider them as individuals. For Wiccans it was
Satan Worship, but lately we are all said to be nudists and we do not believe in God or
State.
The fourth mind-tool is Polarization, "Those not for us are against Us." Simple and
is the basis for all manner of fights.
The Fifth mind-tool is the Claim of Divine Sanction, which frames all arguments, out of the
human context and instead places it on God, Allah, or some other authority in charge of
the action. Further the power to forgive for any excess of zeal is gained. This assures no
matter how much one would feel the action is wrong, the person committing it is secure
because God told them to do it.
The Sixth mind-tool is Meta-proganda, and the most powerful. This discredits the other sides
propaganda not by challenging the veracity of a single story, but by repeating holes and
mistakes on the whole argument and discredit everything coming from the enemy. The aim is
to produce wholesale disbelief and close doors to redress.
Being aware of the tools being used by Ralph Reed and other
consultants, "Spiritual Warriors", and "Prayer Soldiers", we will be
able to understand how they reached their world-view and prepare our statements
accordingly. After all, Ralph Reed has already begun.
