The main book in the USA related to 'brainwashing' was J A M Meerloo's book The Rape of the Mind: The Psychology of Thought Control Menticide and Brainwashing (1956). It was presented as serious psychology research, and it was supposed to explain why some Americans objected to war crimes against Koreans. This has nothing to do with Hollywood.
[2] 'The human body is a bio-chemical electrical device that gives off energy.' Bacteria, birds, fish, chimps, any animals are also 'biochemical electrical devices'. They give off various types of energy, but (and I presume you're not counting sound energy as in speech, or physivcal energy when someone restrains someone else etc) the idea of remote reception is pure bullshit.
[3] Whenever there's a war it's possible to find allies or collaborators. So what? The USA destroyed large numbers of Korean people and their livelihoods. It conforms to the definition of genocide. Your 'varied experiences' don't seem to enable you to easily put yourself in the shoes of Koreans at that time who were bombed, burnt, strafed, and otherwise killed.
However the point of this thread is to examine the propaganda use of the word 'brainwashing'. It was used to divert attention from US war crimes in Korea. Its relevance to the nuke debate is that it's another example of media control.
1. I mentioned for you to go ahead and do your own research, just google "Drug Induced Amnesia", the drugs are varied and many are most likely illegal and unknown to the "regulated" civilian sector. I have no interest in this subject, other than to say it certainly exists, unlike the baseless claim being made that it does not exist.
That author Joost Meerloo you mentioned (is he a Jew?) certainly understood how easy brainwashing is. Hell, his observations are being used to this very day in America and the World in general (China, Japan, Korea, Saudi etc..). Just read through these quotes by him-->
https://blog.gaiam.com/quotes/authors/joost-meerloo. Better yet, go read The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, for those concepts have brainwashed an entire civilization and most of the World.
2. Remote reception is possible, at what DISTANCE is the question. You are allowing concepts like Distance to limit all thought on the matter and to even claim that it does not exist at all.
3. The USA and the KOREANS destroyed large amounts of Korean people. How many Koreans do you think the Chinese killed in the Korean War? This was a UNITED NATIONS mission by the way (as was the 1st Iraq War but not the 2nd Iraq War). Not that I support the United Nations at all but that Body Politic is certainly involved. Although, at the root, its the Jew wrecking havoc on any type or normalcy. I understand much better than you do the destruction and death of war, so you really are speaking only with emotion and it appears no experience in the matter.
You know very little of my life or my thoughts so please stop inventing stories about me. You cannot put yourselves in the shoes of 18 year old US Troops, Chinese Troops or Korean Troops that were being "bombed, burnt, strafed, and otherwise killed". Truly, you cannot put yourself in the shoes of either civilian or military personnel in a war zone. Your perspective on the Korean or any other war is very limited and one sided. The emotional hatred of particular things blinds you to greater truths. All I care about is the truth.
This term "Brainwashing" should not be limited to the Hollywood or Best Book Seller version. Brains are washed and cleaned every day of the year, many by Hollywood itself; all one needs is pain and pleasure at its very basics (no blinking lights required). I can brainwash your dog, your sheep, your cow or your child. Its not complicated like in the movies.
Maybe a couple different definition would help you understand what brainwashing is; its not about blinking lights and so forth:
