Hey Friends and Family.. I know I usually post something funny or inspiring. Today Im sending out a message I worked on last night. Its just my personal thoughts and I know its a little lengthy but I love my country and its our job to protect it from invaders both foreign and domestic.. Take a few minutes and check it out. Feel free to share Foreign fighters from all over the world have left their home countries to join the ranks of the Islamic State, and the militant groups lightning advance across Iraq and Syria this summer has helped to boost recruitment. ISIS has global reach, largely because the ideology that they teach does as well. Their recruitment through the internet and multimedia sites such as facebook and twitter.... You know Psychology has taught me their are certain ways that cults recruit people... 1. Submission to Leadership - Leaders tend to be absolute, prophets of God, God Himself, specially anointed apostle, or just a strong, controlling, manipulative person who demands submission even if changes or conflicts occur in ideology or behavior. 2. Polarized World View - The group is all that is good; everything outside is bad. 3. Feeling Over Thought - Emotions, intuitions, mystical insights are promoted as more important than rational conclusions. 4. Manipulation of Feelings - Techniques designed to stimulate emotions, usually employing group dynamics to influence responses. 5. Denigration of Critical Thinking - Can go so far as to characterize any independent thought as selfish, and rational use of intellect as evil. 6. Salvation or Fulfillment can only be realized in the group. 7. End Justifies the Means - Any action or behavior is justifiable as long as it furthers the groups goals. The group (leader) becomes absolute truth and is above all man-made laws. 8. Group Over Individual - The groups concerns supersede an individuals goals, needs, aspirations, and concerns. Conformity is the key. 9. Warnings of severe or supernatural sanctions for defection or even criticism of the cult - This can go so far as to apply to negative or critical thought about the group or its leaders. 10. Severing of Ties with Past, Family, Friends, Goals, and Interests - Especially if they are negative towards or impede the goals of the group ISIS has allready recruited 1000s from North America... Im a fan of HBO documentary series VICE.. VICE founder Shane Smith spoke with a man thought to be 21-year-old Canadian who has been in Iraq since July and is reportedly fighting with the Islamic State. Below is this video that was just released a few days ago... They are coming my friends and family please keep your eyes and ears open.. David Tommy Rogers
