An introduction to mind control
Depictions of mind control in popular culture have actually been wide and
varied. From The Cabinet of Dr Caligari to the tales of Svengali and the book
and films of The Manchurian Candidate, the theme of robotically controlled
assassins and hypnotically controlled slaves is in fact a common plot point. Even
comedies such as The Naked Gun and later Zoolander use this theme of
assassins who do not know they are assassins; one could even argue that The
Pied Piper employed mind manipulation techniques in order to steal away the
children of his clients.

We are also shown in many films and media presentations the concept of
multiple personalities in characters; this plot device has in fact become old hat
now in Hollywood through overuse, the audience is no longer shocked to find
that the main protagonist is in actuality themselves, the suspect they are looking
for, unknown to their true personality. A separate person has manifest within the
mind of the protagonist, completely detached in actions and memory to the
original core personality. This schism is usually shown as the result of some
event or trauma so powerful as to literally shatter the mind of the protagonist
into distinct personalities. This plot point is perhaps more accurate than most
people realise.

This manipulation of the mind is actually far from science fiction and has been
well documented in primary sources such as declassified documents, court
hearings, exposés in the media by those involved boasting at their prowess and
by insider whistle-blowers. The subject has also been discussed by many
researchers in a secondary sense; notable inclusions are the fantastic and detailed
work of Jim Keith and Dr. Colin Ross.

Many of the books in the public eye are littered with disinformation, usually
suggesting there is little actual success in the field of mind manipulation. I will
draw together the evidence to show the scope of these projects and prove that
mind control, in all its forms, was and is used to control us on numerous levels.

What exactly do we mean by mind control? We are talking about the ability to
control a person’s thoughts and actions, in order to have them do the bidding of
their programmers against their own will and in some cases, against their own
moral code. In this realm, we are speaking of robotically controlled individuals,
slaves to the whims of their masters. This can not only apply to the individual in
programming of personal thought and action but can also be utilised in the arena
of mass manipulation or mass programming, affecting large sections of the
public. This can run the gamut from advertising techniques that manipulate our
subconscious without our knowledge, to lies by the media and full military
propaganda designed to shape the ideology of a nation. Indeed, the application of
individual mind control experiments would instantly fail were it not for the mass
manipulation techniques that tell the public; this sort of technique is not possible,
it is in the arena of science fiction or espionage thrillers. What I intend to prove
is that this is far from science fiction.

The fact that U.S., U.K., Chinese and Russian governments were involved in
varying levels of individual and mass mind control programmes is not even
denied, rather it is often passed over with the explanation that, “it was a different
time, the cold war made us paranoid and justified our actions” and of course the
classic, “we never achieved our goals in any meaningful sense anyway”. In fact
we can even see the propaganda posters from Nazi Germany or Communist
Russia and in our wise Western way, decode them for the manipulation they are,
without applying that same critical analysis to the images we ourselves are
presented with every day. We seem to forget that the aim of propaganda is to
disguise itself as fact.

The U.S. mind control programmes started in April 1950 with the beginning of
the fabled Project BLUEBIRD. The official reason for any U.S. involvement
with the dark arts of mind control is that it was a response to Communist
methods used against American G.I.’s in the Korean War, fearing that
Americans were being brainwashed into confessing and defecting to the
Communist regime. However, as the start of this programme predates the cited
conflict, we can see clearly that this explanation too is manipulative propaganda
directed against the public to manage their perceptions of the world.

Project CHATTER was a United States Navy programme beginning in the
autumn of 1947, primarily involved in the testing of different drugs in
interrogation scenarios and collecting results on their usefulness. The
programme was led by Dr. Charles Savage of the Naval Medical Research
Institute, Bethesda, Maryland and ran from 1947 to 1953. The doctors involved
used both natural and synthetic concoctions on their test subjects in order to
achieve their required results. Project CHATTER involved experimentation on
animals and humans alike, with large doses of scopolamine, mescaline and
various other potions and narcotics used in interrogation scenarios. This project
also predated the Korean War.

Project ARTICHOKE was the continuation of BLUEBIRD, officially beginning
on 20 August 1951, and run by the CIA's Office of Scientific Intelligence. The
desired results of the project were charted in a memo, dated January 1952, that
stated, "Can we get control of an individual to the point where he will do our
bidding against his will and even against fundamental laws of nature, such as
self-preservation?" [1]

The project studied hypnosis, forced morphine and heroin addiction, followed by
subsequent forced withdrawal and the use of various other chemicals, among
other methods, in order to produce amnesia and other vulnerable states in
subjects, ostensibly for interrogation purposes. A CIA Document, dated 26 April
1952, stated that those employed in Artichoke interrogations, “Used heroin on a
routine basis (as this) can be useful in reverse because of the stresses produced
when they are withdrawn from those who are addicted to their use.”

BLUEBIRD and ARTICHOKE were rolled into the umbrella term MK ULTRA
in 1953. When talking about mind control projects, the term MK ULTRA is
often used to refer to mind control experiments in general as its brief was so
varied. MK ULTRA had at least 149 sub projects that we know of.

In 1963, MK ULTRA was renamed MK SEARCH, which ran until the early
1970’s when all pertinent documentation was destroyed at the behest of the CIA
and the projects then officially disbanded, although more likely were
reclassified. Other projects that emerged from the U.S. administration were MK
NAOMI, MK DELTA and QKHILLTOP. Though different delineations had
slightly different aims and objectives, we can view all these projects as a
continuation of the broader heading of mind control experimentation. MK
NAOMI reportedly focused on biological projects including biological warfare
agents; specifically, to store materials that could either incapacitate or kill a test
subject and to develop devices for the diffusion of such materials. This is
essentially flowery language for individual and mass drugging. A 1967 CIA
memo uncovered by the Church Committee (an investigation into clandestine
government experimentation, conducted in 1975) showed evidence of at least
three covert techniques for attacking and poisoning crops that had been
examined under field conditions, meaning they were tested in real world
scenarios.

On 25 November 1969, President Richard Nixon officially abolished any
military practice involving biological weapons and Project MK NAOMI was
dissolved. On 14 February 1970, a presidential order was invoked to outlaw all
stockpiles of bacteriological weapons and nonliving toxins. This however, did
not deter U.S. scientists from stockpiling huge amounts of lethal shellfish
poisons in Fort Detrick until the mid 1970’s.

The center of mind control in the U.K. appears to be a charitable organization
named Tavistock. The Tavistock Clinic began during the First World War,
treating returning soldiers suffering from shell shock as a result of their horrific
experiences. The clinic itself sprang up out of Wellington House, the British
Military propaganda agency responsible for weaning public opinion round to an
acceptance of war with Germany. The studies on the effects of trauma and the
breaking point of humans proved seemingly invaluable as the clinic morphed
into the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations and began to focus on
organizing and directing social orders through social psychological
manipulation.

Tavistock, employing its psychological methods, is used by corporations,
citizens and countries to define the norms, entrain business leaders and gently
coerce society into the direction that is best for it, in their considered,
authoritarian opinion. By understanding and utilizing the effects of trauma, they
can reduce the critical analysis of individuals or a nation, terrifying them to run
into the arms of their authoritarian saviors, namely the state, at any given
problem that threatens them.

Tavistock practitioners discovered the most effective way to ensure devotion to
the leaders was to provide a solution to the terrible problems faced by the
people. These manufactured external events shake the core of the populous,
which look to authority to save them and provide a solution. Acting like a
consoling father figure, the solutions required by the public can be suggested by
the authorities and likely, regardless of the action, if it solves the immediate
problem the public will not only accept this but clamour for the change. This is
how nations and national identities are formed.

I believe mind control in all its forms to still be an active concern of all military-
industrialised countries intelligence agencies. I believe that there are projects for
individual countries and their respective secret service agencies but also
collusion and sharing of experimental results, techniques and methodology at the
very top level of military and government, or more accurately, ‘shadow
government’. U.S. and U.K. collusion in the ultimate goal of mind control is
proven by the association of certain doctors within the field and an overlapping
of sponsorship and related parties, but strangely, Nazi and Communist agencies
also appear to show an increasingly open level of communication and similarity
of techniques.

In this book I examine the origins, objectives and architects in the field of mind
control. I address the beginnings of the mind control programmes, the doctors
involved in the U.K. and the U.S. and the different methods they employed,
moving from trauma, to drugs, to hypnosis and then external psychotronic
machinery. Using this evidence, we can then speculate on some of the more
famous cases of alleged mind control.

One point that I wish to make absolutely clear is that all of this information is
available in the public domain. Some of the sources are obscure but, more often
than not, it is dependent on knowing what to look for; often the information is in
national media publications. I will say again that this information is available to
the general public, however, one of the most impressive mind control
programmes employed is convincing people that there is no possibility of this
capability existing at all.

“Mind control: psychological reality or mindless rhetoric? “Mind control is the
process by which individual or collective freedom of choice and action is
compromised by agents or agencies that modify or distort perception,
motivation, affect, cognition and/or behavioural outcomes. It is neither magical
nor mystical, but a process that involves a set of basic social psychological
principles. Conformity, compliance, persuasion, dissonance, reactance, guilt
and fear arousal, modelling and identification are some of the staple social
influence ingredients well studied in psychological experiments and field studies.
In some combinations, they create a powerful crucible of extreme mental and
behavioural manipulation when synthesized with several other real-world
factors, such as charismatic, authoritarian leaders, dominant ideologies, social
isolation, physical debilitation, induced phobias, and extreme threats or
promised rewards that are typically deceptively orchestrated, over an extended
