The Wave - Based on a real Social experiment - basicly how to create a Cult

The experiment took place at Cubberley High School in Palo Alto, California, during one week in 1969. Ron Jones, unable to explain to his students why the German citizens (particularly non-Nazis) allowed the Nazi Party to exterminate millions of Jews and other so-called 'undesirables', decided to show them instead. Jones writes that he started with simple things like classroom discipline, and managed to meld his history class into a group with a supreme sense of purpose and no small amount of cliquishness. Jones named the movement "The Third Wave," after the common wisdom that the third in a series of ocean waves is always the strongest, and claimed its members would revolutionize the world. The experiment allegedly took on a life of its own, with students from all over the school joining in.

This is basically how it happens, folks. My mother was a young child and was swept up into the Hitler Youth movement -- none of them realized what was happening, but I recall my grandmother saying she and her husband had to be careful what they said around my mother, as it created such an enormous sense of distrust even within families. Talk about it hitting close to home. I saw this on TV when it first came out, and it sticks with me almost 40 years later. Blind obedience is the sure path to tyranny and ruin.
