I agree with many of you all´s points and love to read them. Id just like to add that theres seemingly a great difference between various mind control methods, as each group supposedly has their own ways, different settings AND different goals!
Something like the Illuminati mc technique is supposedly one of the oldest and most advanced (dating atleast hundreds years back), also the one I read most about by people trying to escape the cult. However, the high hierarchy cults are strictly generational and do not take outsiders. Not even the richest or most famous. (in general “selling your soul” is said to be more based around forbidding self-respect & moral values, and do something like pose naked, or give away your power and let some rando execs do whatever they want with u & ur name, it doesn’t mean you become an insider) The programming is done to keep perfect loyalty, silence, not thinking for themselves therefore not questioning or disagreeing, and other reasons. It usually starts before the birth (actually even before conception bcz the bloodline needs to be able to dissociate perfectly + to have the actual access to the child - another reasons why the need for generationality), but the programming is highly individual even within the same cult AND same trainer, not only bcz everyone is different, but because they are meant to have different jobs within the hierarchy. (informers, trainers, smugglers etcetera) These are meant to be the "night" jobs, as during the time when they are not doing cult work they live completely normal lives with normal jobs without any hint tht they are cultists. That suggests that this type of mc is used exclusively for those born in the cult, people who have to know how it works, where, with who, plans, administrative stuff…basically have their own secret deadly & criminal jobs within the cult that they have to be able to forget about.
On the other hand, something like the CIA Project Monarch (??formerly MK Ultra??not 100% sure) works/worked by recruiting outsider families full of multigenerational abuse, which naturally include DID children. The programming then moves from there, amongst many others they famously used hollywood productions. Its quite comparable to the illu actually, but a very different setting and goal.
And Project Monarch is/was just one of allll the different techniques for all the different goals they might have. For example, some targeted individuals/families might get an entirely different treatment, based around technology and stalking.
The point of all this is perfect control. This is partly why I think its so hard to tell who is actually in the know and who is not, theres all these different layers that often blur.
Plus yeah, I also think that the slave conditions they are exposed to since young teens could be enough of a brainwash to be acquiescent. And once they are in its veery hard to get out. Also its not impossible for the korean entertainment companies to have their own secret methods, like for example recruiting trainees from abusive families, in bad situations/desperate, or idk what and then applying their programs to "break them in", to see how far they let them go and so on...
And then they can tell us whatever, that JK was born in the amazon jungle and thats why hes called jungkook. Literally any story they want, noone would know the truth. The idols are basically just actors that dance & look pretty.
But that’s just my pow and I love to hear everyone elses opinions! Sorry if Im rambling off topic, or if I wrote something inaccurately.
