Study Karl Rove and the Bush administration. They have brainwashed the Great Unwashed American Public that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, despite evidence to the contrary, that the Saudi 9/11 hijackers somehow had ties to the Iraqi government, that tax cuts for the richest Americans will somehow mean trickle down prosperity for all, and the list goes on almost indefinitely. There has not been a regime since the Nazis that was so successful in brainwashing its citizenry.

There are many recent examples in history to illustrate how people are brainwashed.
From POW's in Korea, and from the written history of World War 2, we can see that mass repetition is the single most important key. Anything that people are told is the truth over and over and over they eventually accept as the truth. How about this example? People today are always in a hurry; they hurry to get to work, they even hurry to go home. On the highways most have us have noticed how rude people sometimes get. Why? Because for the last 25 years the media, mostly TV, has been blasting the message relentlessly that "Americans are a people who are ALWAYS in a hurry." And what has happened? People have heard this all their lives as "the truth" and have simply accepted it.
No, I do not believe that torture is necessary to brainwash people. Hitler did not torture the Germans who followed him. He just kept telling the same lies over and over and over, just like TV in America does. The result? The German people did believe Hitler for a time, and Americans believe what TV tells them to believe.
Torture serves one major purpose in brainwashing: it speeds up the process. People in great pain will change their minds much sooner than those who are not in pain. No, the simple truth is that mass repetition of something that one wants others to believe is all it takes to brainwash people. Just remember TV!!

A desire to brainwash someone is a deep sick inner desire to be a control freak! Since I am not suffering from a mental health problem of this type, like you are, than I cannot answer your question. A brainwashed person would supply no mental challenge. If you don't like mental challenge then you need to get off of this website.!

There is something that is called "free will". Look it up as we were all created unique. The day that we all are forced to think alike or how someone would want us to is a sad commentary on your thinking. Usually it shows a narrowness of thinking when someone wants to "control" others. I would suggest you find things to make your life happier instead of trying to brainwash others. The best way to change someones way of thinking is to give them positive things to think upon that will make them happier in their lives but even that is up to them and based on free will.

It's done by repeating the same thing over and over on a daily basis. Perhaps changing the words but presenting the same meaning.
Keeping these people from attending & hearing opposite views.
Being kind and considerate to them to win their complete trust and love.
In other words, washing any old ideas from their mind and filling it with the ones you want them to carry there.

You must effectively void them of normalcy stimuli. When their dependance is motivated towards an outside influence, their mind can be altered. Many cults will deprive the victims of proper diets and protin; this causes the recruits to lose their entire inhibitions, causing them to fall into a sheep-like state.
