The Milgram Experiment: Why People Willingly Perform Horrific Acts
Tuesday, September 7, 2010 at 1:07PM Throughout the history of mankind, man has committed countless egregious acts against his own kind. The 20th century alone was a perfect example of this nature; a century littered with mass genocides. We all know the names: Hitler, Mao, Stalin...and there are countless more. But what almost no one ever mentions when discussing these evil men, is how the average man enabled and ultimately carried out these atrocities. It wasn't Mao who single-handedly murdered upwards of 60 million Chinese; it wasn't Hitler who personally killed as many as 12 million Jews. No, it was average men who performed these vile tasks.
But how do the Hitlers, Stalins and Maos of the world coerce normal people into becoming murderers? As you read this, you're surely sitting there thinking, "Good Lord, I could never! It's not possible!" And we hear the same argument whenever anti-big government people mention how big government can turn on its people and commit horrendous acts against them. "That could never happen in America!" they say. And they're right, right!?
Wrong. And to believe otherwise is to believe in the Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. Wake up! The US soldiers presently fighting in our armed forces are, on a daily basis, manipulated into killing innocent people in Iraq and Afghanistan. Do you think that manipulation couldn't be duplicated for use against US citizens? I hope you're not that naive. And this commentary isn't here to insult you, but to snap you out of the false reality we've all been led to believe is real.
Remember the Cycle of Tyranny?:

Right now, we're in between "Complacency" and "Dependence." And in case the visual isn't enough of an illustration, this is a bad place to be. If history is any barometer -- and it always is -- it won't be long until we're living under a tyranical form of government. The only difference between what we face and what has gone on in history, is that what we face is global governance and, therefore, global tyranny under global oligarchical rule.
Have you heard of the Milgram Experiment? The below article from Jeff Riggenbach explains, in detail, the Milgram Experiment, but here is how Milgram himself described the experiment:
"[It was] a simple experiment ... to test how much pain an ordinary citizen would inflict on another person simply because he was ordered to by an experimental scientist. Stark authority was pitted against the subjects' strongest moral imperatives against hurting others, and, with the subjects' ears ringing with the screams of the victims, authority won more often than not."
