I saw China’s military in the closet making brain weapons and I saw one of the brain weapons and the brain weapon looked at me
The concept of brainwashing was invented— by a CIA agent posing as a journalist— precisely because Westerners needed a way to reflexively dismiss the phenomenon whereby their own troops were being persuaded of communist ideas during communist captivity:
The idea of “brain-washing” can be credited to Edward Hunter, a CIA-funded writer and editor, who in 1950 started writing articles and books on the subject. His thesis was that Red China and the Soviet Union could control the minds of their respective citizenry— which explained how susceptible Americans captured on foreign soil would be. [11]
This new category, supposedly qualitatively different from normal ideology acquisition, itself turns out to be simply an ideological distinction without a difference.
which explained how susceptible Americans captured on foreign soil would be
"Could it be that our butchery is morally bankrupt, and that our adversary has good ideas? No, they must be mind controlling our people"
I like how American propaganda is more likely to be like "the reds are evil wizards" than aknowledging that socialism is a good idea.
"They have universal healthcare, 100% literacy, no homeless, better nutrition, and all their children are educated for free through university. They might be on to something."
"You've just been brainwashed, shut up"
His thesis was that Red China and the Soviet Union could control the minds of their respective citizenry
It's true--even at the dissolution of the USSR, a whopping 70% of its citizenry wanted it to stay together
thankfully Pizza Hut got involved and Russia's better for it now
The new arms include biological weapons designed to induce sleep or sleep-related disturbances in enemy troops. The goal is to impair cognition and alertness.
"We helped the West get a good night's sleep and they will never forgive us for it" - Xi Jinping
Looking forward to being tranquilised by the PLA and fultoned away to Dengism motherbase to be made to read The Governance of China until I defect or whatever.
Me getting dropped off at the Dengist Motherbase, "Oh, no no I'm already with you on all of this. Do you guys have like an advanced course for people who are already communists but haven't finished reading Capital yet? Maybe some audiobooks for in the field?"
This think tank is literally three US military ghouls.
What a grift
Wish I could get paid to make up bullshit China is doing
"Oh yeah, they're building a giant memorial to Mao that hypnotizes anyone who gazes upon it for longer than 5 seconds"
Gonna make a thinktank, as a bit.
What is a thinktank anyway? They're websites that call themselves thinktanks that "publish" papers they make the fuck up every now and then.
They're totally bullshit organisations invented for the purposes of creating deniability for the state that something came from a third party and not from themselves. Despite the fact that states are funding the thinktanks they're "independent".

getting that sweet sweet cash
Yeah sorry boss, can’t come in today, the Chinese are making me sleepy
The new arms include biological weapons designed to induce sleep or sleep-alerted disturbances in enemy troops. The goal is to impair cognition and alertness.
This is actually very true. I've fallen victim to Chinese sleep and mind control weapons myself. They hide it in the form of delicious Chinese food, but really it's a trick, and then suddenly after inducing a large amount of their "food" you begin to feel very sleepy. They get me every time, the bastards!
We need to be alert because I think the Chinese are sharing this weapon within their Axis of Evil too. I've sadly also been tricked using the mind control devices of seemingly delicious food and beautiful Korean women servers (spies!) to be manipulated into purchasing and consuming large amounts of weaponized Korean BBQ, which also induced the same sleep affliction.
The enemy is very cunning. Be careful, comrades. This is a war we cannot win.
"The insidious Chinese sleep weapon works in three steps: First they serve you a hot cup of cocoa, then they play you a lullaby and then they tuck you into bed" A real quote I just made up, which makes it as real as the rest of the article
I volunteer to test this weapon (i have trouble sleeping)
they're making the giant Havana Syndrome gun
Havana nice siesta
holy shit guys wait stop the jokes the sleep weapon is actually real wtf??
The CIA does both of those things lmao
This means the CIA attempts to do both of those things, and fails
use your sci-fi weapons to induce sleep on me.
"Yes, I'm sorry, Philosoraptor can't come to work today because he was hit by the Chinese sleep ray and is looking very comfy."
anonymous sources connected to the Pentagon claim the Chinese have possibly used the sleep weapons on Joe Biden.
Posting Washington Times is cheating.
Sigh. Not a single mention. Do y'all ever feel like your secret CCP VR Brainwashing Milker Project [CW:secret CCP VR Brainwashing Milker Project] isn't getting the respect it deserves?
Hit me with that sleep gun please, I have a hard time getting to bed
seeseepee sees eepy
I have it on good authority that "We don't need no thought control."
What are they gonna develop next? Dark sarcasm in the classroom?
the wall reference
Chinese brain warfare includes sleep weapons, thought control
Has China become the Soviets from Red Alert 2?? lol that think tank must be a C&C fan
Please Xi hit me with the sleep beam, I am so fucking tired all the time.
Five-Eyes operatives have risked everything to deliver this picture of the biological weapon
I don't even doubt that China might be looking into this kind of stuff, for the same reason that the CIA has looked into a lot of ridiculous ideas that were never going to work. At some point you either spend the government grants or lose them.
Fuck yeah the Chinese are centuries ahead in tech, once again news that show the supr- wait this is supposed to be bad news? This is supposed to make me dislike a nation that has somehow conquered the realm of Hypnos? Lmao ok, if the sleep ray was real, I'd want them to shoot me with it. Imagine being able to go to sleep on command.
CCP is artificially boosting midichlorian counts in its jedi
Sedatives and trumpets? What's next? The CCP is thinking about launching dead bodies in trebuchets and pooping upstream to do biological warfare!!
Xi please target me with you sleep weapon!
Actually the " biological sleep weapon is the seeseepee's insidious plan to stop trying to keep everyone from getting covid, resulting in everyone getting covid and the post covid symptoms that come with it.

Whenever the Western media says shit like this usually it's because the CIA is trying to do that shit themselves.
Finally, a good night's sleep

Are they going for a more wicked witch of the west angle or the Fredy Kruger angle?
Did they just dust off the unused antic lines from the Cold War 60s?
Oh my sweet lord they’re going to do MK ULTRA again
Decided to go down this rabbit hole and see what their sources are.
Here's the "research" report PDF.
These are the two papers in Chinese that they cite to support their claims:
- "Improve psychological protection capabilities to help win the battle of the future"
- "Aiming at Future Wars and Fighting the 'Five Battles' of Cognition"
Here is a machine translation of a paragraph from the first paper. This seems to be what they're basing all of their claims on.
The production of biological weapons such as sleep weapons, brain-computer interfaces, brain-controlled weapons, and genetic drugs directly affects cognition, emotion, will, and behavior from the physiological point of view, which is more direct and lethal than traditional psychological influences. The fact that war deprives military personnel of sleep has been widely circulated, and as early as the 70s of the last century, Britain began to study sleeping weapons. From sleep glasses to keep one's own personnel awake and "nightless" drugs to soft-kill radio waves that cause drowsiness and thirst in the enemy, future research that genetically alters physiological limits is moving toward the center of the battlefield. Recently, the brain-controlled weapons developed have made the ideal of "a soldier who surrenders without a fight" a reality, and it is also one of the ultimate weapons that will change the tide of war in the future. Such an endless stream of biological weapons has impacted the physical and psychological state of combatants, causing a huge threat to the physical and psychological safety of military personnel.
And then these are the two papers they cite as evidence that China is developing mind control energy weapons:
They're just gonna be flashing American troops with blue light.
