Guillotine
Another equally ridiculous fancy of mine was to frame new laws, altering the penalties. What was wanted, to my mind, was to give the criminal a chance, if only a dog's chance; say, one chance in a thousand. There might be some drug, or combination of drugs, which would kill the patient (I thought of him as “the patient”) nine hundred and ninety times in a thousand. That he should know this was, of course, essential. For after taking much thought, calmly, I came to the conclusion that what was wrong about the guillotine was that the condemned man had no chance at all, absolutely none. In fact, the patient's death had been ordained irrevocably. It was a foregone conclusion. If by some fluke the knife didn't do its job, they started again. So it came to this, that—against the grain, no doubt—the condemned man had to hope the apparatus was in good working order! This, I thought, was a flaw in the system; and, on the face of it, my view was sound enough. On the other hand, I had to admit it proved the efficiency of the system. It came to this; the man under sentence was obliged to collaborate mentally, it was in his interest that all should go off without a hitch.
PROVEN METHODS: SCIENTOLOGY - Solo Auditing
The personal life of the follower is brought back to the supervisor,
who determines the contents of the following session. These documents constitute a centerpiece of Scientologic constraint, for they are confessions that could be used against a subject who might try to escape the influence of the cult. While the sessions themselves take on a serious and highly technical air, they contain a mass of information that binds the subject to the organization. The moral influence that they hold is nothing compared to the power the subject gives them through these sessions, both consciously and unconsciously. Instruments of permanent denouncement within the cult, they can become tools of blackmail in the outside world, for they contain the individual’s past, his fantasies and phobias, his errors, his bad habits, criminal background involving himself and his associates inside or outside of the cult.
These reports can be also turned against their superiors. During an investigation of one Scientologist’s residence, the police discovered a letter from a member, addressed to the leaders, in which he admitted to having obeyed their orders. 16 [Author’s note: He acknowledged having conducted surveillance on me, and having sent numerous pieces of mail to me.]

Who Joins Cults? - Yes, You
Nevertheless, the fact remains that even apart from unsettling socioeconomic conditions and certain relevant family factors, any person who is in a vulnerable state, seeking companionship and a sense of meaning or in a period of transition or time of loss, is a good prospect for cult recruitment. Although most contemporary cults primarily recruit young adults, preferably single, some—especially the neo-Christian cults—seek entire families, and even the elderly are targets for some groups.
What do the cults offer to lonely, depressed or uncertain persons? In one form of another, each cult purports to offer an improved state of mind, an expanded state of being, and a moral, spiritual, or political state of righteous certainty. That supposedly beneficial state can be reached only by following the narrowly prescribed pathways of a particular group master, guru, or trainer. To grasp that approach to life, the new recruit—the babe, the preemie, the trial member, the spiritual god-child, the lower consiousness one, as certain groups label the beginner—must surrender his or her critical mind, must yield to the flow of force, must have childlike trust and faith.

In August 1960, the NUC carried out a major purge of the military forces. More than 5000 officers were dismissed. Among them were 235 generals, out of 245 then serving, including the Chief of General Staff Ragıp Gümüşpala. Consequently, most of these officers became critical of the Government. Gümüşpala, while in the army, had stated that if one day he entered political life, he would certainly join İsmet İnönü's political party (RPP). But, after having been dismissed from the army, he changed his mind. He talked in İzmir to Mehmet Yorgancıoğlu (who was active in the founding of the JP) and proposed to participate in the establishment of a new party which would be a continuation of the DP.

"gösterme kuralları" diyor buna Paul Ekman
Bize geceleri yabancılardan ve kamusal alanlardan korkmamız konusunda çok açık talimatlar verilir. Yayın organları da yabancıların kadınlara yönelik işlediği şiddet içeren suçları sansasyonel bir şekilde anlatırken, partner şiddetine pek değinmeyerek bunda rol oynar. Tüm polisiye diziler, kadınlara yönelik tiksindirici şiddet eylemlerinin tasviri etrafında döner, her sezonda hayal edilen suçlar ve canlı sahneleri daha da tırmandırılır (seni izliyorum, Criminal Minds ve Lawe-Order: SVU). Cinsel saldırı filmlerde, kitaplarda ve televizyonda da yaygın bir nakarattır ve genellikle yazarlar tarafından kadının kişilik gelişiminde önemli bir âni göstermek için kullanılır. Tüm bu tasvirler yabancı şiddetinin ve cinsel saldırının her zaman eli kulağında olduğunu ima eder.

Kralın Batıya İlerleyişi
Çıkarları büyük ölçüde güneydeki ülkelerde bulunmasına rağmen Hititlerin kaynaklarını batıda Ege Denizi' ne dek uzanan seferler için ayırması sıra dışı görülebilir. Bu seferler, Kral Tudhaliya Yıllıkları olarak bilinir. Burada adı geçen Tudhaliya'nın Suriye'ye sefer yapan kralla aynı hükümdar veya onunla aynı adı taşıyan
