I heard of a soldier who was captured during the korean war and was brainwashed was this true?

Go figure.

propaganda . funny thing is it is actually other way around. in school children are brainwashed to believe in corporatism now maybe answer is altered . but i was brainwashed in school by sitting in straight rows and told that henry ford invented he automobile and that the u.s.a. became prosperous after the 1930's-45 war. i think seizure of japanese-american property and other property under alledged national security purposes lead to this . after all where does one learn the meanings of the term buy, sale, car , buisiness , ciggarette, profit , become wealthy? froo propaganda and corporate brainwashing . now the word detention was made mention of at my school.so i wondered.

the CIAs MK ultra program in the 50s and 60s were able to duplicate the north korean techniques .

google MK ultra . for extra credit , look up the US Patents in the category of " mind control methods and devices " . at least 25 of the last 50 were patented by retired CIA personnel looking to cash in on the stuff they learned at work .

Yes sir, Nick. It sure was. You see, this yahoo went John Wayne & started shooting up the place. Well, then the commies caught him. You see, his mommy was a New Lefty her self. She gave them permission. Well, in a short time, he changed his attitude, grew long hair & ran for president on the Demoncrat ticket. Won too.
