Scientists Use Magnets to Change Attitudes on Religion, Immigration
RUSH: "Scientists Claim That They Can Change Your Belief on Immigrants and God -- with MAGNETS." This is from the UK Daily Express. "A bizarre experiment claims to be able to make Christians no longer believe in God and make Britons open their arms to migrants... Scientists looked at how the brain resolves abstract ideological problems. Using a technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), researchers safely shut down certain groups of [neurons] in the brains of volunteers.
"TMS, which is used to treat depression, involves placing a large electromagnetic coil against the scalp which creates electric currents that stimulate nerve cells in the region of the brain involved in mood control. Researchers found the technique radically altered religious perceptions and prejudice." Wait, prejudice or judgment? You know, there's a difference. You would never know it from the media today.
"Belief in God was reduced almost by a third," using transcranial magnetic stimulation. "Belief in God was reduced almost by a third, while participants became 28.5% less bothered by immigration numbers." Well, then, shutting these neurons is a good thing. Maybe this treatment can be incorporated into Obamacare! Maybe in order to qualify for free health care, you have to undergo transcranial magnetic stimulation -- and if you're a bitter clinger, it's the first thing you have to submit to.
This way Obama can eliminate from your brain every Christian belief that you have and your hatred or disagreement with immigration. Obama can fix it with a little magnetic coil up on your head. "Dr. Keise Izuma, from the University of York, said: 'People often turn to ideology when they are confronted by problems.'" So being bothered by "immigration numbers" is a matter of ideology and not say a matter of economics or common sense? Who knew!
"The researchers targeted the posterior medial frontal cortex, a part of the brain located near the surface and roughly a few inches up from the forehead that is associated with detecting problems and triggering responses that address them." Okay, so now, folks, settled science. Any objection to illegal immigration, any belief in God, can now be claimed to be not rational thought, and they can fix it with transcranial magnetic stimulation.
You know what's gonna happen? You've heard this story, and some time is gonna go by, weeks, months, maybe a year, and a period of time from now you're gonna hear a story and say,
"I've heard about this. Where did I hear about this?" And you're gonna remember you heard it on this program. But mark my words, UK Daily Express. There are now people who believe they can fix a belief in Christianity and fix an opposition to illegal immigration with something called transcranial magnetic stimulation. In other words, a belief in God is a natural mistake. It's a brain malfunction that can be fixed. And so is opposition to immigration.
That will be the take-away.
"Transcranial stimulation."
That's the new liberal term for electric shock therapy, or a new liberal term for brainwashing, or cleansing, as they might look at it.
