HEYYOOO!!! I hope the week break gave you some time to really digest Behavior Control; because, this week we are starting Information Control! LETS GET TO IT!! (As a reminder, this is the second category of the BITE Model of Authoritarian Control as described by Steven Allan Hassan on his research with The Freedom of Mind Resource Center)

INFORMATION CONTROL

Keep members busy so they don’t have time to think and investigate e. Control through cell phone with texting, calls, internet tracking

3. Compartmentalize information into Outsider vs. Insider doctrines a. Ensure that information is not freely accessible b. Control information at different levels and missions within group c. Allow only leadership to decide who needs to know what and when

4. Encourage spying on other members a. Impose a buddy system to monitor and control member b. Report deviant thoughts, feelings and actions to leadership c. Ensure that individual behavior is monitored by group
