Could it really be possible that the mind of a human being can be tampered with to the point that the person literally loses their mind. Tamprered with to the point that they can be somewhat programmed - e.g. programmed to believe they have committed crimes that they didn’t commit and request to be executed as punishment.
Could drugs, or induced hypnosis be responsible for this?
Or maybe operant conditioning - using unpleasant or tourturus and severely traumatic experiences to condition the mind to react to things in a certain way. Fear and trauma in animal experiments saw their learned behaviours and personalities do a complete u turn. In humans the same effects have been documented - even to the point where people have changed their religious beliefs. Psychologists refer to this type of thing as behaviourism, and it has been argued to be a means of controlling/programming and predicting human behaviour, moulding a human personality.
Pavlov did lots of reared experiments/research ( a bit of A Level Psychology is coming back to me now lol, and Bandura was another theorist who did similar experiments around operant conditioning).
If someone is brainwashed doesn't that make them a slave to the brainwasher, controlled and programmed, their freedom and liberty stolen.....
Streatfeild also goes on to explore the use of brainwashing in warfare.
Drugs that can alter your consciousness to a state between sleep man awake - a point at which the mind is less inhibited and reveals more truths and secrets and personal info that the sharp conscious mind ever would - and sticking a hypodermic needle in someone’s vein and increasing their dose as and when they seem to be shaping out of it during an ‘interrogation’ a general anaesthetic (barbiturate nembutal) research by Horsley (1931) showed women in labour under the influence of this drug started to reveal al sorts of things - inhibitions were removed in a matter of seconds.
A truth drug had been discovered. This new way of getting into an unconscious mind was termed nacroanalysis. perfect for any shadowy figures wanting to interrogate someone they just can’t seem to break!
Chemical brainwashing, which could also be done via/put in food.
Subliminal messages, electric shock therapy, interrogation methods and torture.....intrigued? Then read on.
This book mentions US/UK military/intelligence branches involved, including CIA/USAF/SIS/SS/BA/RAF but doesn't mention NSA/GCHQ/RN. For a book referencing the Cold War, it misses out Lida/Moscow Signal/Pandora. It mentions some nasty interrogation techniques and at the end says if only there was another way. I think this relates to current mind control, which is plausibly deniable. In keeping secret current mind control, mind-reading and interrogation technology and know-how, this book helps keep a lid on the public analyzing whether the alleged terror attacks in the West, (foiled and successful) in the last couple of decades happened as the MSM portrayed them, especially where the alleged culprits had been allegedly already known to the intelligence agencies as 'extremists'.
This book therefore strongly implies that when ordinary people talk of mind control it can only be from wrong conspiracy theories with some mass hysteria to blame, which is codswallop. The writing on 'subliminals' is a clear feint against state mind control use of subliminals, such as NLP on the BBC scheduling. The picture on the cover is misleading about the technology involved. Interrogation can be done by remote by Electronic Warfare technology and implants.
tours the conspiracy theories of mind control including the soviet show trials, CIA LSD Tests, the moonies, satanic cults, and Judas Priest's "Do it".
i knew bits and pieces prior from early excursions via books such as apocalypse culture - it was very rewarding finding everything in one place and the questions it raises in our current climate
No pie-in-the-sky conspiracy theories here, this book is based on factual accounts and is excellently researched.
It's written in an accessible, easy-to-read style and is what used to be deemed a "page turner".
If you have an interest in this subject, you won't be disappointed.
A complete "you are all mad sure I'm working for them too" denial of atrocities about which the author seems to have knowledge which he refuses to share.
