Ideology

Ideology link (Idea)
a set of beliefs or philosophies attributed to a group of thinkers.

Concerning deep state politics, an ideological reference system is needed to mold public opinion. Without such a frame of reference, propaganda would loose much of its power to influence politicians as well as the public.

The goal of undue influence is to train the mark to think and act in accordance with the ideology.

Capitalism, communism, democracy, national socialism, esoteric cult and religious systems, as well as belief in apocalypse or impending Disasters all have been ideologies, portraying propaganda as representing "higher goals and values" which might not be questioned or damned be the opponent.

People have been trained to kill, or even kill them selves, for such higher goals and values. The power of Ideologies lies in a human tendency to conform, residues of a survival instinct, and may be exploited by deep state actors. Characteristic of ideological systems is the exclusion of other ideologies and devaluation of other opinions - a claim to exclusive representation and owning of a higher truth.

Demagogues and Sociopaths regularly emerge as leaders in such a "regressed social situation" (Kernberg), with "sharp divisions in the social body between social in-group and out-group and political ideologies or parties"; often presenting themselves as self-proclaimed "rescuers" from "dangers" the ideology promotes or implies.

Ideology , in whatever form - plays a similar crucial (and often underestimated) role in cult programming, fostering dependency, mind control and (implicit) in hypnosis.
