Mind Control

Charles Burris put up this magnificent post on Saturday, June 19, 2021.

The first video is titled, The Minds of Men, 2018.

The second one is titled Mind Control: America’s Secret War

Burris writes,

It is one of the ill-kept secrets of America’s intelligence agencies — for decades, they have worked virtually non-stop to perfect means of controlling the human mind. But while many have suspected the existence of these projects, the details have long been preserved. Mind Control blows the lid off years of chilling experiments, drawing on documents reluctantly released through the Freedom of Information Act and interviews with some of the victims, including a woman whose past was literally taken away.

Hear from John Marks, the author of In Search of the Manchurian Candidate, who broke the story of the CIA’s abuses by unraveling the mysteries contained in financial records. All the other records pertaining to the experiments were destroyed by the agency in an attempt to prevent the details from ever being known.

I met John Marks in 1983 and discussed his book and the dangerous consequences of mind control with him.

Burris links a pdf of the fantastic but chilling non-fiction book by John Marks titled The Search for the Manchurian Candidate: The CIA and Mind Control.

The 3rd video posted is titled, Bad Trip to Edgewood.

Burris explains that the documentary is an,

ITV Yorkshire (UK) documentary originally broadcast in 1993 about the secret chemical experiments carried out at Edgewood Arsenal on unsuspecting volunteers from the US military.

Then Burris provides the avid reader with a list of books and articles on the CIA and mind control.

The 4th video is titled, Mind Control: 1979, Project MKULTRA

Burris writes,

This 1979 ABC News documentary delves into the CIA’s secret MKULTRA project which experimented with various purported mind control techniques including giving soldiers and others LSD and various other drug concoctions.

Acid Dreams: The Complete Social History of LSA: The CIA, the Sixties, and Beyond, Martin A. Lee and Bruce Shlain, 1994.  Here Burris provides the reader with a pdf format of the book.

Operation Mind Control, Walter Bowart, Richard Condon (Introduction), 1978.

Burris writes,

Operation Mind Control — an investigative report into government mind control through the use of drugs such as LSD, behavior modification, hypnosis, and other “psycho-weapons.”  Bowart’s 2014 The Cryptocracy’s Plan to Psychocivilize You is a classic in the annals of conspiracy research. It is a disturbing account of the secret use of mind control technology, by a secret government (or cryptocracy), with an aim to pacifying whole populations and furthering private global investment strategies.
