The genius is on the left, the lunatic is on the right

Chapter 9 "Advanced Hypnotism" by Hitler and Sahaf

The name of Hitler is believed to be familiar to everyone. It was he who set off the largest war in human history, and it was he who, with his unique and powerful speeches, pushed himself onto the political stage. Mass dissemination of his fanaticism for war.We can condemn him as a crazy killer and a heinous devil, but we also have to admit that he is indeed a talented politician and a hypnotist who has never been seen before or since.

During World War II, a Japanese reporter who witnessed Hitler's speeches recorded everything he saw and heard.Here are some excerpts for your reference.

First of all, Hitler paid great attention to the effect of his appearance. "Hitler's special car took the lead, followed by several cars carrying his party members, and drove slowly to the square at the corner of the street. After arriving, the party team with the car The team immediately jumped out of the car and surrounded Hitler's special car, while other vehicles spread out in all directions, and the dazzling lights shot on Hitler from all around."

At this time, before he could open his mouth, he had already attracted everyone's attention, because the surroundings had become dark, and the only light was shining on him.It implies, "Only by following me can we see the light."

"Hitler's posture is very obvious. In a burst of cheers of 'Welcome Hitler', Hitler stretched his right hand upwards. This is a classic and very appealing gesture. The upward arms represent the tolerance of the embrace. , and showed the energy of lashing out at Fang Qiu, and then he began to deliver extremely offensive speeches in an excited tone."

First it gave direction, and then it gave strength.The effect Hitler wanted was clearly well-established.

"There are more than 1000 audience members around in silence, and everyone's eyes are focused on Hitler. Looking up at Hitler standing on the car in the bright light and giving a speech, the audience is like a hypnotized person staring at a special glowing object, In the situation of the surgeon who is about to be hypnotized, their eyes are focused on one point, their expressions are in a trance, and they can't move away when they stand still."

It seems that Hitler has everything ready. Next, he just needs to master the tone, speed and tone of his speech, and speak out his fallacies and heresies about war one by one.He did the same, "The German nation is the best nation in the world, and the best nation has the sacred obligation to dominate the world." Such a slogan took root in everyone's mind.

Even after the war, there were still many Germans who believed that they were fighting a just war and that they were worth dying for.Under Hitler's deep hypnosis, these originally kind people eventually turned into people they didn't even know themselves.

Hitler's hypnotic ability has reached the point that no one can match. From the perspective of authentic psychology, it is almost impossible to hypnotize thousands of people at the same time, because everyone's thinking is different, and the psychological endurance ability is different. Different, the degree of suggestion is also different.

However, Hitler did it. Without hypnotic music in our traditional sense, without comfortable reclining chairs and incense, and without a pocket watch swinging at a constant speed in front of his eyes, he only relied on his "non-professional" hypnosis techniques to convince thousands of people. He believed in his crazy theories and believed in them deeply. This is a deep-seated trust that even other hypnotic activities will not be able to remove.

Hitler seems to have used hypnosis to the point of proficiency.It has to be admitted that this trick is very effective politically.Hypnotizing the masses is equivalent to finding your own loyal fans, and only when tens of thousands of people trust and admire them can you realize your political ambitions.

Like Hitler, former Iraqi Minister of Information Mohammad Saeed al-Sahaf is also a much-anticipated "hypnotist". He told a big lie in front of the Iraqi people, but in exchange for countless trust and support, It's amazing.

When the Iraq war just started, Western media reported that "the US military has already approached the city of Baghdad." Not long after, Sahaf, then Iraqi Minister of Information, appeared in front of the camera with a relaxed expression and a very taunting expression. The tone said: "The US military will never have a foothold in Iraq. If they dare to come, our soldiers will welcome them with bullets and shoes!"

His confident tone, firm words, and ostentatious attitude, and he did not forget to quote the traditional methods of the Iraqi people to crack down on unpopular people, really won him rounds of applause.

Since then, Sahaf has become the spiritual leader of the Iraqi people. He used slogan-like language that is completely inconsistent with the facts, so that a large number of people began to trust and support him.Therefore, this big lie is like a huge net that was stretched over Iraq, entrapping people's thoughts and fighting spirit.

Sahaf was born in 1968. He studied journalism in college. His original ideal was to be a teacher. Later, he embarked on an official career. The arduous career path made him understand the turmoil of politics.As soon as the Iraq War broke out, his image of wearing an olive green military uniform and a beret without the beard that is the signature of Muslims has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It can be said that he is already a world-renowned figure.

Regardless of the battle situation outside, people will never hear any words of surrender or cowardice from his mouth, not even the truth, when the US tanks stop a hundred meters away, and the sound of guns and guns keeps coming from their ears , People heard these words from Sahaf: "Baghdad is safe now, those American troops have been brutally beaten..." "The fighting that people saw last night will teach these mercenaries a lesson and will teach Washington. Learn a lesson from the war criminals in London!"

Sahaf's courage and strength in weaving lies, like a divine help, spread rapidly like a virus, infecting most of the people. He hypnotized the people and comforted the souls of these ordinary people in the dire straits of war.Even in the darkness around him, there is still light in his eyes.This makes it impossible to evaluate whether such a lie is unforgivable or commendable.

What Sahaf is best at is talking about everything about Bush Jr. in a mocking tone.

"Bush is a very stupid person. The American people are not stupid. I don't understand how such a smart people could elect such a stupid president?"

"While we were creating laws, while we were creating literature and numbers, the ancestors of Blair and Bush were still scratching their heads in caves..."

These spicy and funny words bring temporary relief to the people, so that in the years of war, people will still stay in front of the TV on time and watch Sahaf’s speech. Of course, that is when conditions permit. .

But I have to admit that Sahaf is becoming more and more popular. Even Bush Jr., who he ridiculed in every possible way, once said: "I am most concerned about two things every day. One is to see the American army pull down the bronze statue erected by Saddam Hussein Like, the second is to listen to what Sahaf said at the press conference..." Not only Bush Jr., but in the spring of 2003, the world's press paid the most attention to these two things.

I have to admit that when Sahaf appeared in front of the microphone and faced the reporters, his performance was very successful.The easy-to-understand expressions, the use of rich vocabulary, and his large body movements are all very provocative.When Baghdad was under fire, Sahaf also apologized to reporters for this: "Maybe, the explosion disturbed you, you are the distinguished guests and friends of Iraq, but Iraq must deal with these foreign villains." Then he said : "Baghdad is strong, well-defended and safe." In fact, every day at the press conference, Sahaf tried to convince the Iraqi people that the Iraqi government still controls everything and will not be overthrown.And his speech is also called a "language bomb" by the industry, which is full of attack power.

The brain-burning logic of a genius or a madman
Although Hitler and Sahaf lived in different ages and different regions, they have one thing in common. They both successfully deceived a large number of "fans" with unfounded lies, so that they followed them No matter what is wrong.The difference is that Hitler's distorted racism harmed many people, and although Sahaf distorted the facts, he gave people in "hell" some hope and joy.

However, we are not here to discuss morality.Instead, discuss their "master class" hypnotism.Occupationally speaking, both Hitler and Sahaf are typical politicians. They have nothing to do with so-called hypnotism, but they are well versed in the essence of hypnosis—the way of suggestion.

Hitler made enough effect for his hints. We have seen before that when he was about to make a speech, the environment was created very well. He highlighted his absolute authority among thousands of people. This is the first It shocked the people present. In such an atmosphere, as long as there are a few people who are sincerely convinced, more people will be convinced one by one. This point is closely related to people's "herd mentality".

Therefore, rather than saying that Hitler quickly conquered tens of thousands of people by himself, it is better to say that he knew the herd mentality, allowing some people to infect others, and finally surrendered under his feet.

However, the method used by Sahaf is different, and his suggestion power is stronger.No matter how strong the US military's combat and attack power is, he repeats the "failures" of the US military over and over again in front of the camera or in the broadcast, emphasizing "the great strength of our military."Such constant and repeated hints slowly bring the audience into a chaotic situation. People are unwilling to see the truth of the facts, but are willing to find what they want to hear from Sahaf's language.

In fact, this is what the Iraqi people subconsciously think, the victory they want, the peace they want, although these have not been realized, but in the mouth of Sahaf, this is as comfortable as it is true.Immersed in a comfortable ideological environment, who is willing to take the initiative to break free and face cruelty?
