The Two-Party System and Psychological Influence in American Politics….a detriment to one’s health if you follow the ‘Party’ line.
By Dr. Steven L. Robertson
In the United States, the two-party system—Democrats and Republicans—dominate the political landscape. While originally intended to offer balance and representation, many critics argue that this structure has evolved into a sophisticated illusion of choice, fueled by elite influence and amplified by psychological conditioning technologies. Beneath the surface of televised debates and social media outrage lies a deeper mechanism that has captivated the public’s attention and potentially manipulated their perception for decades.
The Two-Party System: A Controlled Opposition?
The founding fathers of the United States warned against the dangers of political factions. George Washington, in his farewell address, cautioned the nation against the rise of political parties, foreseeing their potential to divide rather than unite. Despite this, America now runs on a binary political operating system where alternative voices rarely break through.
The two-party paradigm may give the appearance of choice, but both parties receive funding from the same multinational corporations, financial institutions, and elite donors. Among the families most frequently cited in these discussions are the Rockefellers and Rothschilds, both of whom have historically wielded enormous influence in banking, oil, and global politics. Though their direct involvement in recent politics is hard to prove definitively, their legacy of financing infrastructure, policy think tanks, and international institutions speaks volumes.
Rather than opposing visions for the nation, the two parties often appear as controlled opposition—stirring emotional responses in the public while quietly agreeing on critical issues such as defense spending, surveillance, and banking deregulation. This orchestrated tension can be seen as a “political circus”, where public attention is diverted toward party rivalry, rather than systemic reform.
Television, Frequency, and Patent-Based Mind Influence
One of the lesser-known aspects of media influence lies in U.S. Patent #6,506,148 — titled “Nervous system manipulation by electromagnetic fields from monitors”. Filed in 2001, the patent describes how pulsed electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) emitted from screens—such as TVs or computer monitors—can influence the human nervous system.
Although the practical implementation of this patent remains speculative, it lends credibility to concerns that mass media is not merely informing the public, but also subtly shaping their responses, beliefs, and behaviors. Frequencies, light flicker rates, and even audio tones can affect alpha wave production in the brain, potentially altering mood and perception.
The concept of entrainment—synchronizing brain waves with external stimuli—is not science fiction. It’s been well documented in neurology and used in various therapeutic settings. But when applied covertly, it raises significant ethical concerns.
Project MK-Ultra: The Precedent for Psychological Control
The CIA’s MK-Ultra project, now declassified, ran from the early 1950s to the early 1970s and sought to develop methods of mind control using drugs (especially LSD), sensory deprivation, hypnosis, and psychological manipulation. Officially shut down, MK-Ultra revealed that governments were not only willing but actively engaged in experiments to control human behavior, often without consent.
Some historians argue that while MK-Ultra ended in name, its ethos lived on—manifesting in new forms of media, social engineering, and technology-based persuasion.
Public Opinion and Manufactured Consent
Political scientist Noam Chomsky described the phenomenon of “manufacturing consent”—the shaping of public opinion through media narratives that support elite interests. Through repetition, framing, and emotional manipulation, the media can guide public perception toward desired outcomes.
In this light, the two-party system can be seen not just as political, but psychological—a performance stage where emotional investment by the public is harvested to maintain the illusion of control, while true policy decisions are made behind the curtain by unelected advisors, think tanks, and private financiers.
Moving Forward: Awareness is the First Step
None of this is to claim that voters have no power or that democracy is a charade. But critical thinking, media literacy, and historical awareness are essential for navigating a system that increasingly merges politics, psychology, and technology.
By understanding the influence of elite funding, psychological conditioning, and media entrainment, individuals can begin to withdraw their attention from the spectacle and refocus on building local, resilient communities, reclaiming sovereignty over mind and body in a world increasingly designed to influence both.
