How Elites and Abusers Break a Person's Will, on the individual (and collective/ societal level)

 

 On the individual level and the collective / societal level: exposing coercive control, cruel mockery, trauma-based identity destruction, and mass distraction. Written from lived experience as a targeted individual.

A note before you read: I do not do these things to others. I follow Jesus Christ, who is love, gentleness, and truth. This post exists so survivors can name what was done to them — not so abusers can learn new techniques. If you are looking for a how‑to manual, please stop reading now.

When abusers try to break a person's will, they are not trying to erase the person entirely. Research shows they aim to do something more subtle and cruel: destroy the victim's ability to trust their own perceptions, emotions, and decisions — while leaving them functional enough to comply with commands (Stark, 2007).

The goal is not a zombie. The goal is a person who is fearful and hypervigilant, emotionally numb or inappropriate (laughing at pain), unsure of their own reality, and desperate to please the abuser to avoid punishment. This is not conspiracy theory. This is documented in peer‑reviewed literature on coercive control, cults, trafficking, and torture.

The BITE Model: A Research‑Backed Framework

Dr. Steven Hassan (2015), a mental health counselor who escaped a destructive cult, developed the BITE Model — four forms of control that work together to break identity:

Control TypeWhat Abusers Do
Behavior ControlControl sleep, food, bathroom, appearance. Punish small acts of autonomy.
Information ControlLie, withhold facts, isolate from outside news. The abuser becomes the only source of truth.
Thought ControlTeach that doubt is evil. Use loaded language. Forbid critical thinking.
Emotional ControlShame vulnerability. Mock empathy. Induce fear, guilt, and emotional exhaustion.

How Abusers Break Down Identity (Individual Level)

1. Isolation and Surveillance

The abuser systematically cuts the victim off from friends, family, and anyone who might offer a different perspective. The victim is watched constantly. Privacy is eliminated. The abuser becomes the only source of social contact and validation (Dutton & Goodman, 2005).
What this does: Without outside perspectives, the victim cannot reality‑check. They come to believe the abuser's version of events.

2. Ritual Degradation and Dispossession

The victim is humiliated systematically. Their possessions are taken. They lose control over basic aspects of life — when they eat, sleep, speak, or use the bathroom. Sociologist Erving Goffman (1961) called this mortification — the stripping away of the prior self.
What this does: The victim learns that their old identity has no power. They become more willing to accept a new, compliant identity.

3. Exploiting Fear and Trauma

Rather than erasing the person entirely, abusers create a dual identity — the original person remains somewhere underneath, but a fearful, compliant false self is constructed on top through repeated trauma, sleep deprivation, disorientation, and induced helplessness (Stark, 2007).
What this does: The victim learns that resistance leads to pain. Compliance leads to relief. Over time, the fearful self becomes the default.

4. Controlling Information, Thoughts, and Emotions

The abuser decides what information the victim can access, what thoughts are "allowed," and what emotions are acceptable. Doubt is punished. Loyalty is demanded. The victim's reality is constantly manipulated (Hassan, 2015).
What this does: The victim stops trusting their own mind. They rely on the abuser to tell them what is real and what they should feel.

Cruel Mockery: Laughing at Love, Empathy, and the Holy Spirit

Abusers who use hostile humour and cruel mockery do it to:

  • Disrupt any authentic emotional state
  • Create confusion about what is appropriate to feel
  • Train the victim to associate vulnerability with humiliation
  • Erode the ability to trust one's own emotional responses
  • Induce learned emotional flatness or inappropriate affect (laughing at serious things)

This includes: mocking voices, infantalizing tones, vulgar noises during sincere moments, laughing at calamity and disaster, encouraging the victim to laugh at people crying, and accusing the victim of being "an actor" or "wolf in sheep's clothing" when they show genuine care (Martsolf et al., 2010).

From a Christian perspective, this is not just abuse — it is an attack on the image of God and an attempt to grieve the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30). Jesus wept (John 11:35). He did not mock. Proverbs 17:5 states: "Whoever mocks the poor shows contempt for their Maker; whoever gloats over disaster will not go unpunished."

The Collective Level: How Elites and Power Structures Break a Population's Will

What abusers do to one person, elites and power structures do to entire societies — using the same psychological tactics on a mass scale. This is not a conspiracy of one group; it is a pattern of power that transcends any single nation or race. I value equity and making people of all backgrounds feel loved, cared for, and respected. Regardless of your race or nationality, there are saints and angels. But certain elites in positions of power exploit race, class, history, and trauma — and the consequences are severe.

1. Mass Distraction and Sarcastic Cynicism

Populations are kept exhausted by an endless churn of outrage, scandals, and trivialities. Media cycles reward sarcasm, mockery, and emotional numbness. The goal is to make people too tired, cynical, or distracted to be soulful, content, or loving toward traditional sources of meaning — community, faith, nature, and silence.

2. Collective Trauma Through Bombarding Negative News

Mainstream media and social platforms amplify war, disaster, inequity, racism, and injustice continuously, often without offering pathways to healing. This creates a low‑grade, chronic trauma response across entire populations. People become hypervigilant, fearful, and convinced the world is irredeemable. They forget how to be soulful.

3. Red Herrings and Manufactured Outrage

Elites introduce emotionally charged issues (often real problems, but weaponized) to divide the public along race, religion, and class lines. While the population fights itself, the same elites continue policies that harm everyone — war, environmental destruction, economic inequality. This is a classic red herring tactic: keep the crowd angry at each other so they do not look upward.

4. Stoking Hatred and War (The Middle East and Beyond)

We see this clearly in how populations are manipulated regarding the Middle East: making people hateful and angry, wanting war with the "other side," antagonizing entire religions. Ordinary citizens become complicit — not because they are evil, but because their empathy has been worn down by propaganda, trauma, and the dehumanization of the other. People are precious and valuable, and their lived experiences of spirituality and quality of life differ vastly between the West and other nations — but elites exploit those differences to keep us fighting.

5. Erasing Soulfulness, Contentment, and Love for Old Ways

Before mass media and algorithmic outrage, communities had slower rhythms: shared meals, storytelling, nature, worship, and mutual care. Elites benefit when those bonds are broken. A population that is anxious, isolated, and sarcastic is easier to control than a population that is content, loving, and spiritually rooted. Jesus Christ is my Lord and Saviour — I follow Him, not a particular race or group of people. He called us to be peacemakers, not pawns in someone else's war.

Project Monarch and MKUltra: What Is Real

What is real: MKUltra. The CIA ran illegal mind control experiments from the 1950s through the 1960s, including administering LSD to unwitting American citizens. This was exposed in 1975 by the Church Committee (U.S. Senate, 1975).

What is not proven: "Project Monarch" as a vast, coordinated global program creating programmed assassins with dissociative identities. The claim originates almost entirely from Cathy O'Brien's Trance Formation of America (1995), which has never been corroborated. Scholars of MKUltra (e.g., Marks, 1979) make no mention of Monarch.
However — trauma‑based abuse is real. The methods described in Monarch literature (isolation, shock, drugs, ritual humiliation) are documented torture techniques. But the conspiracy theory of a unified government Monarch program is rejected by mainstream researchers.

Terrorist "Programming" — What the Research Actually Says

Legitimate terrorism research (Sageman, 2004; Silber & Bhatt, 2007) does not support Hollywood‑style "mind control chips" or hypnosis‑based programming. Instead, radicalization works through group belonging (offering identity to isolated people), us‑versus‑them thinking, trauma bonding, and gradual exposure to violence. No credible study shows terrorists are created through dissociative "alters" or Monarch‑style trauma programming.

The Cruel Irony: Abusers Accuse You of What They Do

You wrote: "They accuse me of trying to groom and control my mom — which is disgusting."
This is a documented tactic called projection or DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender). The abuser accuses the victim of the very abuse they are committing (Freyd, 1997). It makes the victim defensive, confused, and less likely to be believed.

What This Post Does Not Do

  • Provide step‑by‑step instructions for breaking someone's will
  • Serve as a manual for abusers
  • Offer techniques for creating compliance

That would make me complicit in evil. I refuse.

A Final Word to Survivors and to the Weary

  • Get safe — if possible, physically separate from the abuser(s).
  • Reconnect — find one outside person who validates your reality.
  • Document — keep a private log of what is done to you.
  • Seek help — trauma‑informed counselor, domestic violence service, or pastor.
  • Do not become them — resisting abuse does not require becoming cruel.
  • Protect your soulfulness — turn off the outrage machine. Find nature, silence, prayer, and one person you can love without performance.
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
— Matthew 11:28

You do not have to stay in the place they tried to put you. You are not what they called you. On a collective level: do not let them steal your capacity for love, joy, and soulfulness. That is the last thing the abusers want — a person who still weeps, still cares, still follows Christ and not the crowd.
