"...for decades, top secret [US] government projects worked virtually non-stop to perfect means of controlling the human mind." "The projects involved brutal, at times lethal experiments on thousands of unsuspecting citizens in direct defiance of law, all ethical codes, and basic human rights. Interviews with top psychiatrists, lawyers, and victims send chills up the spine." If you haven't heard about Operation Mind Control before, then I recommend you look at the article below. This isn't new information; the History Channel documentary is based on material that has been available for some time. The mind-control project was seeking to understand how to control the mind of an individual, using a combination of potent drugs and post-hypnotic suggestions. The objective was to program people to carry out missions, perhaps involving assassination or suicide -- just like in the "Manchurian Candidate". What some people don't understand is why this mind-control research project came to an end. It was not because they decided it was immoral and illegal, but because mind-control was leaving the research stage and becoming an operational program. Since that time, in many parts of the world, there have been bizarre events, the likes of which we had never seen before. Ex-soldiers who massacre children in the school yard and then kill themselves; teenagers who massacre their fellow students and then kill themselves, etc. How many of these events were projects of this operational mind-control program? How many of these events were followed by new legislation giving more powers to the police? How many accomplished objectives in terms of creating fear or hatred in populations? Another thing many people don't realize is that mind-control research did not stop, but was shifted to a more potent and dangerous domain: mind-control of groups rather than individuals -- the creation and management of cults. Peoples Temple & Reverend Jim Jones, Waco & David Koresh, these and others were CIA research projects. A charismatic would-be cult leader was identified, his group was infiltrated by CIA operatives, and then the group was protected from police interference while the experiment was being carried out. When the research was complete -- or when exposure was threatened -- the evidence was destroyed. The cult-member research subjects were poisoned or incinerated en masse, along with the cult leader. Dead men (and women and children) tell no tales. This cult-management project also moved from the research stage to the operational stage. One example of this technology in operation can be seen in Iran. When the Shah could no longer be maintained, Washington engineered the placement of the Ayatollah as the new head of Iran, forcing Islamic fundamentalism -- a large-scale cult -- onto the people of Iran. Ever since then the US has been able to demonize Iran and bide its time until another fascist like the Shah could be installed (what is now called 'regime change'). The Taliban, and the whole Jihad movement, are also cult movements created by the CIA, and used ever since (either by their actions or as fall guys) to further the development of empire. But perhaps the most important of the operational mind-control projects is the Christian fundamentalist resurgence in the US. The lessons learned by watching the techniques of folks like Koresh and Jones are now being applied via radio talk shows and pulpits. Bush, besides playing the role of 'President' for the cameras, also acts as primary cult 'leader' (not to be confused with actual cult management, of which he would be incapable). One of the primary characteristics of every cult is some set of radical beliefs that clearly separate members from non-members. In the case of today's Christian-fundamentalist cult, those beliefs now include: - the Bible is the literal word of God - there is no distinction between abortion and infanticide - gays are a sinful menace to society - evolution is a liberal-created myth - humanism is a Satanic plot (Savonarola rides again!) The existence of such 'radical defining beliefs' creates a nearly insurmountable communication barrier between cult members and outsiders. Cult members have their own private worldview, and to them outsiders just "don't get it": they are beyond the pale of understanding anything. All contrary information from the outside is rejected, because it comes from 'deluded people'. Members are thereby forced to rely on the cult for their ideas, beliefs, and for much of their social support. Once this ideological barrier is established, isolating cult members from the rest of society, it then becomes relatively easy to lead the cult members by the nose to wherever the cult managers want to take them. As the cult's defining beliefs become more and more outrageous, members must either go along or else they will be out in the cold, back in the world they have been programmed to reject and fear. The power of this mechanism was demonstrated in Waco, where people were manipulated into accepting pedophile behavior, and in the Peoples Temple, where many drank their suicide kool aid voluntarily. (The rest were shot by a CIA cleanup team.) The cult member becomes like a patient hooked to a drip tube. Just as the doctor can slip arbitrary drugs into the patient's drip, so cult managers can slip any desired beliefs into the member's mind. In the case of Christian fundamentalists, this becomes a very powerful political tool, particularly as the cult grows in size. In terms of elections, this tool helped bring us the Red states, Bush country. The tool gives the cult managers direct control over a growing segment of public opinion, whether it be about the war in Iraq, attitudes toward Israel, support for an attack on Iran, or whatever. rkm See also: "Here come the Patriot Pastors!" http://cyberjournal.org/show_archives/?id=1615&lists=newslog -------------------------------------------------------- Original source URL: http://www.wanttoknow.info/060823mindcontroldocumentary Mind Control: America's Secret War A History Channel Documentary Dear friends, Mind Control: America's Secret War is the title of the History Channel's excellent documentary exposing top secret government mind control programs. Though available for purchase on the History Channel website, this disturbing, yet incredibly important video can also be viewed free at the link below: History Channel-Mind Control: America's Secret War (50 minutes) http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article13845.htm This powerful History Channel documentary reveals how for decades, top secret government projects worked virtually non-stop to perfect means of controlling the human mind. Though for many years the government denied that these projects even existed, the details have long been preserved in thousands of pages of now declassified government documents reluctantly released through the Freedom of Information Act. LSD and electroshock therapy in huge doses given to unsuspecting citizens are only a part of the unbelievable program revealed by these declassified documents. Mind Control blows the lid off years of chilling experiments, drawing on the above-mentioned declassified documents and interviews with some of the victims. Hear from John Marks, the author of In Search of the Manchurian Candidate, who originally broke the story of the CIA's abuses by unraveling the mysteries contained in the declassified documents. Learn how many of the most important records pertaining to the mind control experiments were destroyed by the director of the CIA in an attempt to prevent the details from ever being known. The projects involved brutal, at times lethal experiments on thousands of unsuspecting citizens in direct defiance of law, all ethical codes, and basic human rights. Interviews with top psychiatrists, lawyers, and victims send chills up the spine. U.S. intelligence agencies spent millions on these mind control projects with a goal of creating programmable human spies. A former head of the American Psychiatric Association, Dr. Ewen Cameron, is one of many highly respected doctors who erased the personalities of thousands of unsuspecting victims, while many in the profession simply turned a blind eye. Among the captivating interviews presented, you will hear from Dr. Cameron's patient Linda McDonald, whose past was completely erased by a brainwashing experiment. Linda describes how at age 25 she was placed on a psychiatric ward and subjected to horrific shock and drug treatments which completely erased her mind and brought her back to being the mental age of an infant. She, along with many other victims of these highly unethical programs eventually won a significant lawsuit against the U.S. government for the crimes committed against her by one of the most respected doctors of psychiatry in the world.
