Thouht I'd add this to the thread to help,
Mind control could simply be manipulating information, instruction and knowledge, wisdom while promoting false beliefs and deception to deter from certain truths. Including use on a population like we're seeing in today's world.
Swaying the hearts of people, emotional control is also part of a deceptive manipulators behavior. Something used naturally in non-fictional media, news and even fictional entertainment. But in real life it becomes problematic even more so. Some get into relationships and find their partner manipulating them with lies, "playing games" of course is slang for that in some cultures. Especially in adultery (cheaters).
Image control: slander, bearing false witness in an attempt to deter people from a person. All those things are active today in media. I call it the "don't vote for stupid" campain some people use even in popularity circles. Destroying a person's credibility, which is a standard courtroom tactic. Shaming, including bullying included.
Social control: removing, limiting a persons social interactions. Isolating an individual. Common methods of scientific control used in animal testing of medications, "rat studies". Removing factors that get in the way of scientific experimentation results. But horrifically used by controlling, trust lacking, manipulators commonly in relationships.
Behavioral control: to be added later.
Physical control, "beating someone into submission". Breaking them like a horse is broken is a common tactic of control that a slaver uses. The organized criminals are also well versed in those tactics, including the use of illegal drugs for control.
Food, drink intake control.
Medicine control. Including illegal drugs. Non-conventional medicinal agents. eastern, western, northern, southern alternative medicines.
Exercise control.
Science, technology and device, manufacturing control. Use of technologies and devices against persons. Including suppression of technologies to the public with the intent to control them and/or eventual harm is incident. AKA: gun control.
Which then gets into the intended operations of the:
1. United Nations (UN), chemical, biological, radiation laws, etc. International peace keeping and policing agencies.
2. International Criminal Court (ICC).
Religious control.
1. Financial control. Monies use, exchange and value of established monies or the rare earth backing material.
a) Wage control.
b) Inflation control.
Etc...
God cares about each and every one of us and knows what we go thru. He knows his own. Endure well and stay away from them that are harmful if possible.
