    AV8 - Breaking Free ... from the Cult of Transformational NuSpeak - Brian Gerrish


    Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtGf9pXpXP0

    "In my studies of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is ...in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A variety of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to." - Theodore Dalrymple

    This quote was sent to me by chance the very day I started to consider my talk for Alternative View 8 - the point at which my mind was once again focusing on the drivers of the change agenda in UK and Western society. Change that many now regard as an increasingly dark and destructive attack on our minds, culture, views, values and morality. The words of Anthony Daniels writing under his pen name Theodore Dalrymple thus struck an immediate chord with me. In Britain today we are subject to a far more sophisticated and dangerous attack than just communist propaganda or political correctness - even where we might label political correctness itself as 'Cultural Marxism.' I label the new weapon 'Transformational NuSpeak' and warn of its present and real danger to us all, particularly when coupled with Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), and the latest mental reframing through 'Mindfulness'.

    Join me at AV8 as we peel apart the layers of the cult of 'Transformational NuSpeak' to break free of its tentacles of mind control, using just observation, common sense and humour. Have an appropriate day."

    It's bad enough listening to this stuff...one can destroy their mind by believing it.

    My view of communism: a slavery concept tried and found wanting next to capitalism.

    Common Purpose is a charity(!!!) which gets paid a lot of money by the government to train NHS managers, Civil Servants, Borough Councils, Universities, Government departments, teachers and trainers, in NLP. Brian Gerish runs an alternative newspaper and forum called UK Column, who read out for the AV8 audience a piece of the training in NLP to demonstrate the language used, and then explained its true meaning to them, drawing attention to the danger of NLP speak. Brian operates to bring justice for the parents of children who are whipped away from them by Social Services. He does a heap of things for the good.

    Ian Crane who organises the AV conferences also fronts the anti-fracking movement.

    well, I was struggling to understand if this guy was evil or crazy...I had concluded evil but with your explanation I have to change my assessment to crazy. NLP is a fantasy...anyone that engages full time on a fantasy is cracked... 'Nuff said...

    Actually, perhaps not...

    that was unfair...I tend to forget that some people do need special education for learning and this guy is functioning within that bubble. What really lies at the root of this is that people are terrified of their own inadequacy and need to deal with that. Railing, scheming, plotting, denial against it will not remediate the problem. Facing fears and more to the point facing reality would be a pretty strong start.

    NAP, you don't seem to be aware that NLP is a language used in order to affect our mind. NLP is used to camouflage intention and thereby capture your mind. It is no joke, it is sinister. That is the design of NLP. It is dangerous manipulation.

    I don't know how anyone could be unaware of it...it's tantamount to a fish not understanding that it is in water...the fish needs to get with its own program.

    Yet, we all know that there's a huge difference between what is and what should be.
