A-albionic Research Weekly Update of 3-18-2000 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Subject: Mind Control Operational in Gun Control Incidents? It is no secret that many conspiracy researchers suspect that many of the bizarre "shooting incidents" of recent and not so recent years which are doing so much to promote the "gun control" agenda of the Federal Government, are artificially induced via mind control of one sort or another by operatives closely associated with the "Intelligence Community" or "National Security Dictatorship." Though America is quite resistant to gun control, England and Australia reacted to only a few such incidents with near complete confiscations! There are now quite a number of books with varying degrees of credibility that lend support to the hypothesis that Manchurian Candidate style mind control has been experimented with since WWII and may now be perfected and operational for all manner of "National Security" uses. We propose to review these books, with an emphasis on tracing quotes and documentation to original sources and context whenever possible. Too often, authors quote selectively and out-of-context to buttress doubtful hypotheses. With this issue of the Weekly Up-Date, we begin with Dr. George Estabrooks, hypnotist extraordinary. NOTES ON GEORGE ESTABROOKS: We will start by considering if "mind control" is possible. George Estabrooks seems to provide the best authority that it is not only possible, but capable of being used operationally since WWII at the latest: John Mark's _In Search of the Manchurian Candidate_ provides an introduction to George "Esty" Estabrooks typical for the literature of "mind control": ". . .At the time, hypnosis was considered a fringe activity, and there was little recognition of either its validity or its usefulness for any purpose--let alone covert operations. Yet there were a handful of serious experimenters in the field who believed in its military potential. The most vocal partisan of this view was the head of the Psychology Department at Colgate University, George "Esty" Estabrooks. Since the early 1930s, Estabrooks had periodically ventured out from his sleepy upstate campus to advise the military on applications of hypnotism. "Estabrooks acknowledged that hypnosis did not work on everyone and that only one person in five made a good enough subject to be placed in a deep trance, or state of somnambulism. He believed that only these subjects could be induced to such things against their apparent will as reveal secrets or commit crimes. He had watched respected members of the community make fools of themselves in the hands of stage hypnotists, and he had compelled his own students to reveal fraternity secrets and the details of private love affairs--all of which the subjects presumably did not want to do. "Still his experience was limited. Estabrooks realized that the only certain way to know whether a person would commit a crime like murder under hypnosis was to have the person kill someone. Unwilling to settle the issue on his own by trying the experiment, he felt that government sanction of the process would relieve the hypnotist of personal responsibility. "Any 'accidents' that might occur during the experiments will simply be charged to profit and loss," he wrote, "a very trifling portion of that enormous wastage in human life which is part and parcel of war." "After Pearl Harbor, Estabrooks offered his ideas to OSS, but they were not accepted by anyone in government willing to carry them to their logical conclusion. He was reduced to writing books about the potential use of hypnotism in warfare. Cassandra-like, he tried to warn America of the perils posed by hypnotic control. His 1945 novel, Death in the Mind, concerned a series of seemingly treasonable acts committed by Allied personnel: an American submarine captain torpedoes one of our own battleships, and the beautiful heroine starts acting in an irrational way which serves the enemy. After a perilous investigation, secret agent Johnny Evans learns that the Germans have been hypnotizing Allied personnel and conditioning them to obey Nazi commands. Evans and his cohorts, shaken by the many ways hypnotism can be used against them, set up elaborate countermeasures and then cannot resist going on the offensive. Objections are heard from the heroine, who by this time has been brutally and rather graphically tortured. She complains that "doing things to people's minds" is "a loathsome way to fight." Her qualms are brushed aside by Johnny Evans, her lover and boss. He sets off after the Germans--"to tamper with their minds; Make them traitors; Make them work for us." "In the aftermath of the war, as the U.S. national security apparatus was being constructed, the leaders of the Central Intelligence Agency would adopt Johnny Evans' mission--almost in those very words. Richard Helms, Sid Gottlieb, John Gittinger, George White, and many others would undertake a far-flung and complicated assault on the human mind. In hypnosis and many other fields, scientists even more eager than George Estabrooks would seek CIA approval for the kinds of experiments they would not dare perform on their own. Sometimes the Agency men concurred; on other occasions, they reserved such experiments for themselves. They would tamper with many minds and inevitably cause some to be damaged. In the end, they would minimize and hide their deeds, and they would live to see doubts raised about the health of their own minds." from John Mark's _In Search of the Manchurian Candidate_ Chapter I, "World War II" Available from A-albionic: $35.00 postpaid http://a-albionic.com/merchform.html 1979 Out of Print Hardcover The more recent _Mass Control: Engineering Human Consciousness_ by Jim Keith adds: "One of Estabrooks' early and unique realization was that if multiple personalities could be cured by hypnotism, then it followed that multiple personalities could be created in the same fashion. . ." "In 1942, Estabrooks was appointed as an Expert Consultant tot he Secretary of War, liaison with the Naval Research Laboratory, while at the same time conducting a massive correspondence with J. Edgar Hoover. In later years Estabrooks would take on work with the CIA." from Jim Keith's _Mass Control_ Page 71, "Estabrooks and the Manchurian Candidate" $19.95 postpaid http://a-albionic.com/merchform.html 1999 Paperback Estabrooks' article "Hypnotism Comes of Age" [Science Digest, April 1971] contains some rather startling claims of operational mind control during WWII: "The potential for military intelligence has been nightmarish. During World War II, I worked this technique with a vulnerable Marine lieutenant I'll call Jones. Under the watchful eye of Marine Intelligence I split his personality in Jones A and Jones B. Jones A, once a "normal" working Marine, became entirely different. He talked communist doctrine and meant it. He was welcomed enthusiastically by communist cells, was deliberately given a dishonorable discharge by the Corps (which was in on the plot) and became a card-carrying part member. [Note the uncanny resemblance to the case of Lee Harvey Oswald, also a Marine--Lloyd Miller, Editor] "The Joker was Jones B, the second personality, formerly apparent in the conscious Marine. Under hypnosis this Jones had been carefully coached by suggestion. Jones B was the deeper personality, knew all the thoughts of the Jones A, was a loyal American and was "imprinted" to say nothing during conscious phases. "All I had to do was hypnotize the whole man, get in touch with Jones B, the loyal American, and I had a pipeline straight into the Communist camp. It worked beautifully for months with this subject, but the technique backfired. While there was no way for an enemy to expose Jones' dual personality, they suspected it and played the same trick on us later. "The use of "waking hypnosis" in counter intelligence during World War II occasionally became so involved that i taxed even my credulity. Among the most complicated ploys used was the practice of sending a perfectly normal, wide awake agent into enemy camp, after he'd been carefully coached in waking hypnosis to act the part of a potential hypnotism subject. Trained in auto-suggestion, or self-hypnosis, such a subject can pass every test used to spot a hypnotized person. Using it, he can control the rate of his heartbeat, anesthetize himself to a degree against paid of electric shock or other torture. "In the case of an officer we'll call Cox, this carefully prepared counter spy was given a title to indicate he had access to top priority information. He was planted in an international cafe in a border country where it was certain there would be enemy agents. He talked too much, drank a lot, made friends with local girls, and pretended a childish interest in hypnotism. The hope was the he would blunder into a situation in which enemy agents would kidnap and try to hypnotize him, in order to extract information from him. "Cox worked so well that they fell for the trick. He never allowed himself to be hypnotized during seances. While pretending to be a hypnotized subject of the foe, he was gathering and feeding back information. "Eventually, Cox did get caught when he was followed to an information "drop." And this international group plays rough. The enemy offered him a "ride" at gunpoint. There were four men in the vehicle. Cox watched for a chance, and found it when the car skirted a ravine. He leaped for the wheel, twisted it, and over the edge they went. Two of his guards were killed in the crash. In the ensuing scramble, he got hold of another man's gun, liquidated the remaining two, then hobbled across the border with nothing worse than a broken leg. "So much for the darker side."
