Biderman's Chart of Coercion - G.I.T.M.O. (Ghosts in the Machine Orchestra) (Official Music Video)

Ghosts in the Machine Orchestra (G.I.T.M.O.) is proud to present our debut single and accompanying music video, 'Biderman's Chart of Coercion.' The chart, first developed in 1957 by Albert Biderman, a social scientist with the US Air Force (first published in a 1957 issue of The Bulletin of the New York Academy of Medicine) illustrates Communist Chinese and Korean coercive methods for forcing individual compliance. The chart lists eight chronological general methods of torture that will psychologically break an individual.

In a 1973 report on torture, Amnesty International stated that Biderman’s Chart of Coercion contained the "universal tools of torture and coercion."

Albert D. Biderman's work can be found in the out-of-print books The Manipulation of Human Behavior (©1961) as well as March To Calumny (©1963).

Lyrics:
Oh, that Biderman's comin' from China town
It's gonna mess with your head to break you down
With the power to coerce, it's gonna do you in
Six feet apart is just where it begins

Oh, that Biderman's gonna turn you 'gainst your friends
Well done if you never talk again
Isolate you from the world, don't question it
Just fifteen days to control the spread

Oh, that Biderman
It's gonna get you good
And you'll give in
Just like they knew you would
Oh, that Biderman
It's gonna make you fold
Finger to your chest
Just do what you're told
Oh, that Biderman
Focus on the fear
I guarantee it's gonna be everywhere
Thanks to Biderman's Chart of Coercion
They're gonna break you with it if they can

Oh, that Biderman's comin', comin' for your kids
Gonna mask 'em all up so they won't resist
Confuse then abuse, that's the name of their game
When that Biderman's done, they'll never be the same

Oh, that Biderman
It's gonna get you good
And you'll give in
Just like they knew you would
Oh, that Biderman
It's gonna make you fold
Finger to your chest
Just do what you're told
Oh, that Biderman
Focus on the fear
I guarantee it's gonna be everywhere
Thanks to Biderman's Chart of Coercion
They're gonna break you with it if they can

And when you finally wake up
in your shackles and chains
To a world you never wanted
It may be too late

All broken down on bended knee
Hopin' and prayin' it was all a dream
One thing that Biderman did not foresee
Is that we'd become their worst enemies

Hey Biderman
The table's 'bout to turn
We thank you for
The lesson we have learned
Oh, hey, Biderman
Looks like the gig is up and
You've lost all
Your power over us
Oh, hey, Biderman
I hear their biggest fear
Is us awake, and what do we have hear
Thanks to Biderman's Chart of Coercion
Never gonna be able to walk the streets again
