Chapter Four: How the
Illuminati Program People:
An Overview of Some Basic Types of Programming
In the
first few chapters, I defined Illuminism, its reach, and
some of the philosophy, money making enterprises, and
agendas that help explain WHY they program people. I
believe that these are important to understand, as a
preface to the next few chapters. Why? The programming
techniques that I will describe take an incredible amount
of effort, time, dedication, and planning on the part of
the cult to place in the individual. Only a very
motivated group of people would spend the time it takes
to do this. These chapters are very hard for me to write,
as an individual, since my role in the cult was that of a
programmer. So, the very techniques you will be reading
about were often those that I used to place programming
in individuals that I worked with. I no longer do these
things, nor do I espouse doing them; the reason I am
writing this book is that I believe that therapists who
work with DID, as well as survivors, deserve to know WHAT
is done to people, HOW it is done, as well as be given
some ideas on how to undo the programming that the cult
places in people.
First, I
would like to address unintentional programming versus
intentional programming. This is also known as the
environmental milieu the child is raised in. The
programming of a generational Illuminati infant often
begins before its birth (this will be addressed later)
but once it is born, the very environment the infant is
raised in becomes a form of programming. Often, the
infant is raised in a family environment that combines
daytime abandonment with dysfunction in the parental
figures. The infant soon learns that the nighttime, and
cult activities, are the truly important ones. The infant
may be deprived of attention, or even abused, in the
daytime; and is only treated as special, or
"seen" by the parent, in the cult setting. This
can lead to very young alters around the core or core
splits, who feel "invisible", abandoned,
rejected, unworthy of love or attention, or that they
don't even exist, unless they are doing a job for their
"family".
Another
milieu and conditioning process the infant must face is
that the adults around him/her are INCONSISTENT, since
the adults in a generational cult family are almost
always also multiple, or DID. This sets up a reality for
the infant/toddler that the parents act one way at home;
an entirely different way at cult gatherings; and yet a
different way in normal society.
Since
these are the infant's earliest experiences of adults and
adult behaviors, it has no choice but to accept this
reality that human beings act in shockingly different
ways in different settings. While unintentional, this
sets the infant up for later dissociation, in mimicry of
the adults around it.
INTENTIONAL
PROGRAMMING
Intentional
programming of an infant in the Illuminati often begins
before birth. Prenatal splitting is well known in the
cult, as the fetus is very capable of fragmenting in the
womb due to trauma. This is usually done between the
seventh and ninth month of pregnancy. Techniques used
include: placing headphones on the mother's abdomen, and
playing loud, discordant music (such as some modern
classical pieces, or even Wagner's operas). Loud, heavy
rock has also been used. Other methods include having the
mother ingest quantities of bitter substances, to make
the amniotic fluid bitter, or yelling at the fetus inside
the womb. The mother's abdomen may be hit as well. Mild
shock to the abdomen may be applied, especially when term
is near, and may be used to cause premature labor, or
ensure that the infant is born on a ceremonial holiday.
Certain labor inducing drugs may be also given if a
certain birth date is desired.
Once the
infant is born, testing is begun at a very early age,
usually during the first few weeks of life. The trainers,
who are taught to look for certain qualities in the
infant, will place it on a velvet cloth on a table, and
check its reflexes to different stimuli. The infant's
strength, how it reacts to heat, cold, and pain are all
tested. Different infants react differently, and the
trainers are looking for dissociative ability, quick
reflexes, and reaction times. They are also encouraging
early dissociation in the infant with these tests.
The
infant will also be abused, to create fragments. Methods
of abuse can include: rectal probes; digital anal rape;
electric shocks at low levels to the fingers, toes, and
genitalia; cutting the genitalia in ritual circumstances
(in older infants). The intent is to begin fragmentation
before a true ego state develops, and customize the
infant to pain and reflexive dissociation from pain (yes,
even tiny infants dissociate; I have seen it time and
time again; they will glow blank and limp, or glassy, in
the face of continued trauma.)
Isolation
and abandonment programming will sometimes be begun as
well, in a rudimentary sense. The infant is abandoned, or
uncared for by adults, intentionally during the daytime,
then picked up, soothed, cleaned up and paid attention to
in the context of preparing for a ritual or group
gathering. This is done in order to help the infant
associate night gatherings with "love" and
attention, and to help the bonding process to the cult,
or "family". The infant will be taught to
associate maternal attention with going to rituals, and
eventually will associate cult gatherings with feelings
of security.
As the
infant grows older, i.e. at 15 to 18 months, more
fragmenting is intentionally done by having the parents
as well as cult members abuse the infant more
methodically. This is done by intermittently soothing,
bonding with the infant, then shocking it on its digits;
the infant may be dropped from heights to a mat or
mattress and laughed at as it lays there startled and
terrified, crying. It may be placed in cages for periods
of time, or exposed to short periods of isolation.
Deprivation of food, water, and basic needs may begin
later in this stage. All of these methods are done in
order to create intentional dissociation in the infant.
The infant of this age may be taken to group meetings,
but outside of special occasions, or dedications, will
have no active role yet in the cult setting. The small
infants are usually left with a cult member, or
caretaker, who watches them during the group's
activities; this caretaker role is usually rotated among
lower level or teenage members.
Between
the ages of 20 and 24 months, the toddler may begin the
"steps of discipline" which the Illuminati use
to teach their children. The age the child begins them
will vary, depending upon the group, the parent, the
trainer, and the child. These "steps of
discipline" would be better called "steps of
torment and abuse" as their purpose is to create a
highly dissociative child, out of touch with their
feelings, who is completely and unthinkingly loyal to the
cult. The order of the steps may also be varied a little,
depending on the whims of the trainer or parents.
I will
first discuss the first five steps of discipline: (note:
these steps may vary somewhat from region to region, but
most follow this outline at least roughly, even if not in
the same order)
First
step: to not need
The
small toddler/child is placed in a room without any
sensory stimulus, usually a training room with gray,
white, or beige walls. The adult leaves and the child is
left alone, for periods of time: these may vary from
hours, to an entire day as the child grows older. If the
child begs the adult to stay, and not leave, or screams,
the child is beaten, and told that the periods of
isolation will increase until they learn to stop being
weak. The ostensible purpose of this discipline is to
teach the child to rely on its own internal resources,
and not on outside people ("strengthen it").
What it actually does is create a huge terror of
abandonment within the child. When the adult, or trainer,
returns to the room, the child is often found rocking
itself, or hugging itself in a corner, occasionally
almost catatonic from fear. The trainer will then
"rescue" the child, feed and give it something
to drink and bond with the child as their
"savior". The trainer will tell them the
"family" told the trainer to rescue the child,
because its family "loves" it. The trainer will
instill cult teachings, at this point, into the helpless,
fearful, and almost insanely grateful child who has just
been "rescued" from isolation. The trainer will
reinforce in the child over and over how much it
"needs " its family, who just rescued it from
death by starvation or abandonment. This will teach the
very young toddler to associate comfort and security with
bonding with its trainer, who may be one of its parents,
and being with "family" members. The cult is
very aware of child developmental principles, and has
developed exercises like the above after hundreds of
years of teaching very young children.
Second
step: to not want
This
step is very similar to the first step, and actually
reinforces it. It will be done intermittently with the
first step over the next few years of the child's life.
Again, the child is left alone in a training room, or
isolated room, without food or water for a long period of
time. An adult will enter the room, with a large pitcher
of ice water, or food. If the child asks for either, as
the adult is eating or drinking in own needs for food,
water, or other comforts, who becomes afraid to ask
outside adults for help. This creates in the child a
hyper-vigilance as she/he learns to look for outside
adults for cues on when it is okay to fulfill needs, and
not to trust her/his own body signals. The child is
already learning to look outside itself to others to
learn how it should think or feel, instead of trusting
its own feelings. The cult now becomes the locus of
control for the child.
Third
step: to not wish
The
child is placed in a room with favorite toys, or objects.
A kind adult comes into the room and engages the child in
play. This adult my be a friend, aunt, parent, or
trainer. The child and adult may engage in fantasy play
about the child's secret wishes, dreams, or wants. This
will occur on several occasions, and the child's trust is
slowly gained. At some later point, the child is severely
punished for any aspect of wishing or fantasy shared with
the adult, including the destruction of favorite toys,
going in and undoing or destroying secret safe places the
child may have created, or even destroying non cult
protectors. This step is repeated, with variations, many
times over the ensuing years. Occasionally, the child's
siblings, parents, or friends will be used to reveal
inside fantasies the child has revealed to them during
the daytime, or in unguarded moments. The ostensible
reason the cult gives for this step is to create a child
who doesn't fantasize, who is more outwardly directed,
less inwardly directed. In other words, the child is to
look to adults for permission in all aspects of its life,
including internal. The reality is that this step
destroys all safe places the child has created
internally, to retreat from the horrors it is
experiencing. This step creates in the child the feeling
that there is no true safety, that the cult will find out
everything it thinks. Exercises like this are also used
to create young alters in the child who will self report
to the cult trainers any secret safe places, or covert
wishes against the cult, that other alters have. This
will then begin to set up intersystem hostility and
divisiveness, which the cult will manipulate throughout
the person's life span in order to control them.
Fourth
step: the survival of the fittest
This
step is used in order to begin creating perpetrator
alters in the young child. ALL CULT MEMBERS WILL BE
EXPECTED TO BECOME PERPETRATORS; THIS BEGINS IN EARLY
CHILDHOOD. The child is brought into a room where there
is a trainer and another child of approximately the same
age, or slightly younger, that the child being taught.
The child is severely beaten, for a long period of time,
by the trainer, then told to hit the other child in the
room, or they will be beaten further. If the child
refuses, it is punished severely, the other child is
punished as well, then the child is told to punish the
other child. If the child continues to refuse, or cries,
or tries to hit the trainer instead, they will continue
to be beaten severely, and told to hit the other child,
to direct its anger at the other child. This step is
repeated until the child finally complies. This step is
begun around age 2 to 2 1/2, and is used to create
aggressive perpetrator alters in the young child. As the
child becomes older, the punishing tasks become more and
more brutal. Children are expected to become perpetrators
of others at very young ages, and will
"practice" on children younger than themselves,
with the encouragement and rewarding by the adults around
them. They will also be mimicking these adults, who role
model perpetration constantly as normal. The child will
be taught that this is the acceptable outlet for the
aggressive impulses and rage that are created by the
brutality the child is constantly being exposed to.
Fifth
step: the code of silence
Many,
many different stratagems are used to put this in,
starting at around the age of two years old, when a child
starts becoming more verbal. Usually, after a ritual or
group gathering, the child is asked about what they saw,
or heard, during the meeting. Like most obedient young
children, they will comply. They are immediately severely
beaten, or tortured, and a new alter is created, who is
told to keep or guard the memories of what was seen, on
pain of their life. The new part always agrees. The child
and this new part are put through a ceremony of swearing
to never ever tell; and alters are created whose job it
is to kill the body, if the other parts ever remember.
The
child is also put through severe psychological torture to
ensure that it will never be tempted to tell, including:
being buried alive; near drowning; watching
"traitor's deaths" involving slow painful
torture, such as being burned, or skinned alive; being
buried with a partially rotted corpse and being told that
they will become a corpse like it if they ever tell, etc.
The scenarios go on and on, invented by people with
endlessly cruel imaginations, in order to ensure the
secrecy of the young child. These methods have been
perfected over hundreds of years of practice by the cult
with its children. The reason these things are done is
self evident: the cult is involved in criminal
activities, as explained in the first few chapters of
this book, and they want to ensure the continued silence
of its children. This is one reason why the cult has
survived so long, and with its continued shroud of
secrecy; why more survivors are afraid/unwilling to
disclose their abuse. In order to reveal cult secrets, a
child must go against some of the most tremendously
horrendous psychological trauma and abuse imaginable;
even as an adult, the survivor has difficulty putting
these things aside, when discussing their abuse. Children
and adults alike are told that if they ever tell, they
will be hunted down and shot (the assassin training lets
the child know that this is no idle threat); that they
will be tortured slowly. The child will be exposed to
setups and role plays throughout their growing up that
reinforces this step.
SUGGESTIONS
THAT MAY HELP
I
believe in also offering some ideas on how to undo some
of the above mentioned programming, as I do not believe
in knowledge, only for knowledge's sake. The survivor
often needs tools, in order to try and undo some of the
horrendous abuse that the cult places him/her through,
especially as memories of these things occur. THESE ARE
JUST MEANT AS HELPFUL HINTS AND DO NOT REPLACE THE ADVICE
OF A GOOD THERAPIST.
1. Early
milieu programming: This is difficult to undo, since
it hits on core abandonment issues, and rejection, for
the survivor. This will often have been the survivor's
very first, earliest experiences as an infant, involving
its relationship with its parents and primary family
members. Working on this requires the whole hearted
effort of all alter systems inside, to join in nurturing
the core splits who experienced severe parental
rejection, and the cognitive recognition that the DAYTIME
was important, too; that the adults around the infant
were the unhealthy ones. The infant's often feel
unlovable, overly needy, depressed; but nurturing alters
inside can help comfort them, and share the reality that
the infant really was loveable, no matter what the
outside adults around it were like. Here, too, an outside
supportive therapist, and a strong, nurturing faith
system, can help tremendously in the healing process, as
new messages are brought in to the abandoned, wounded
parts. Sorting through what happened, grieving over the
real issues of abandonment, and bringing reality to very
young, deeply wounded parts will take time.
2. Early
intentional fragmentation: (ages 0 to 24 months)
Usually there are cognitive parts of the survivor inside,
who have never ever forgotten the abuse, and can help
share the cognitive reality of the abuse with the amnesic
alters. This should be done extremely slowly, since this
first abuse was done quite early in life. Creating an
internal nursery, with safe toys, objects, can help.
Older nurturing adult alters inside can help hold and
care for the wounded infants inside the nursery, while
acknowledging and grieving over the abuse which occurred.
It is important to believe an validate the young parts
when they come forward to share. Allowing them nonverbal
ways of expressing themselves can help, as these are
quite young parts, who often cannot talk yet. Having
older children inside who are close to the infants
verbalize their wants, needs, and fears can also help, as
often the youngest parts inside do not trust ANY adults,
even internal ones. A strong ,caring outside therapist is
also important to healing, by modeling healthy nurturing
to a system that may have no concept of this, while
balancing the need of the infant for outside nurture with
the need for the internal system(s) to learn their own
self nurture techniques. Internal helpers can reach the
infants, ground them, share present reality (that the
body is older, the infants are safe, etc. These helpers
may be internal older children, as mentioned before). The
survivor may also want to find support adults when
possible, who can help with modeling healthy caring with
good boundaries.
A
THERAPIST OR FRIEND CANNOT RE-PARENT THE SURVIVOR. The
survivor will long for this, but realistically, the
survivor has one set of parents, good or bad, or sadly,
even terrible. No outside person can come in and redo the
complete re-parenting of another. What the therapist and
support person can offer will be caring, empathy,
listening, while the survivor grieves over the loss of
adequate nurture. They can offer friendship or empathy
with good boundaries. They cannot become the survivor's
parents, or therapy will not progress. Instead,
enmeshment will begin.
3. The
First Five Steps of Discipline (there are twelve
total; others will be addressed in later chapters) Try to
find the parts that experienced the abuse. This may mean
doing system mapping (drawing pictures of what things
look like inside), and going to the cognitives
(intellectuals) or controllers (head honchos inside) for
information. An internal helper, or recorder, may also be
extremely helpful in doing this.
Allow
these parts to slowly acknowledge the agony that they
experienced during their deprivation: heat (being held
over a fire, or stove); cold (such as being placed in
freezers, or ice, for example), lack of food, etc.
Encourage the sharing of the cognitive portion of the
memories first, while allowing amnesic alters to grieve
over "hearing about" these things. Allow them
time to absorb hearing about these traumas, as they
occurred over several years during early childhood, and
will take time to assimilate. Healing can't be rushed.
Allow feeling alters later to step forward, and share
their feelings, while more cognitive or helper parts are
inside holding their hands, grounding them to the here
and now throughout the process of remembering Be prepared
for floods of emotion at times, as well as body memories,
as the abuse is recalled. A group of inside people can be
designated as a "grounding team" to help ground
these parts as they step forward and share their
memories.
Remembering
safely assumes that the person has a qualified therapist,
and also has laid the groundwork for good intrasystem
cooperation, as discussed above. Memory work should not
be done until there is good communication and cooperation
inside, or the person will be overwhelmed by the memories
as they come out. They will be flooded and re-traumatized
instead of helped, and may de-compensate. With good
communication, memories can be brought out a little at a
time, in manageable pieces, while cognitive alters
continually help keep the survivor from going completely
into the memory, and they can also help ground the more
wounded parts.
The cult
will put people through certain types of programming in
order to achieve a specific goal: separating the
intellect, or cognition, form the feelings in a person.
Cognitive alters in these systems are always considered
"higher" than the feeling alters; cognitive
alters are taught to "pass down" their feelings
to the "lower" feeling alters. While these
labels are untrue, the cognitive alters will fear feeling
the intense, overwhelming emotions that caused them to
split further and further from the more limbic, or
feeling alters internally. This will drive continued
system divisiveness in the survivor. It is important that
cognitive parts realize that the feeling alters are part
of them; that they can practice sharing their feelings in
SMALL steps without needing to be flooded, or
overwhelmed.
A
reminder: EXTERNAL SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT TO UNDOING INSIDE
PROGRAMMING. You HAVE to be able to promise these parts
external safety, and deliver on this promise, or they
will understandably balk at working inside on undoing
programming. Why should they try and change, only to go
back and be punished again? No system will undo its own
protective dissociation, if the abuse is ongoing, or it
will continue to destabilize and re-dissociate over and
over. This is because dismantling the dissociation would
mean dismantling its own survival and protection.
Stopping contact with perpetrators and having a safe
therapist are the very first steps to take, before
attempting to undo internal programming. A system can
still work on stopping cult contact, and begin healing ,
while being accessed, but it will slow therapy down
tremendously as the internal energy will be diverted to
staying safe rather than undoing trauma. A person can
heal, and most survivors are still in cult contact when
they enter therapy. BUT the progress will go much more
quickly once cult contact is broken. (see chapter on
preventing accessing of the survivor) .
