Is it possible to create the perfect assassins through the use of mind control programming? Have there already been Black Ops CIA mind control projects developed to create real-life Manchurian Candidates? According to now declassified CIA documents, available through the Freedom of Information Act, a series of top-secret Black Ops experiments were conducted on unsuspecting subjects with the intention of trying to make them perform operations against their will. Could it be that Lee Harvey Oswald, Sirhan Sirhan, Mark David Chapman, and would-be assassin John Hinckey were all victims of such mind-control programming?  Interesting to note that both Hinckley and Chapman were obsessed with J.D. Sallinger's novel "Catcher in the Rye". Even more interesting is that both men were rumored to have copies of this book in their possession shortly after the assassination attempts, and had both at one time allegedly sought psychological counseling from the same psychiatrist.

The scenario of the (sic) "crazy person who hears voices in his head" has been the staple of many jokes throughout the years, but according to the now-declassified documents, some of these so-called crazy people are not mentally ill at all but have been the victims of surreptitious mind-control manipulation via a process nicknamed "Mental Radio".?The basic premise behind this technique is assailing the target with ELF, VLF. and SHF microwave frequencies that stimulate the audio nerves of the human nervous system. The electronically generated voices the person hears in his or her head can either be heard as a interior voice, or as an external voice in the person's environment: voice or voices coming from the walls, ceilings, and so on. And from the information in the declassified documents, such mind control experiments have been going on as far back as the late 1930s.

A renowned authority on hypnosis, George Estabrooks, Psychology Chairman at Colgate University, had the task of discovering how hypnosis could best be used on the Axis enemy during World War II. He publicized his findings and estimated that one in five adults can be put into hypnotic states where they would not remember being hypnotized after being brought back to normal waking consciousness. This was done through a series of cues ending with what is know as a "post-hypnotic suggestion". Estabrooks apparently believed that a multiple personality or, at best, a dual personality could be created in an espionage agent as a very effective cover. This creation of multiple personalities in a human subject was later developed through trauma based mind-control programming in the infamous MONARCH slave program spoken of by alleged CIA mind control victim Cathy O'Brien in her chilling work: "Tranceformation of America".

In the 1950s and on throughout the mid-1970s, various mind control projects such as MK-ULTRA, MH-CHAOS, COINTELPRO were in full swing. In 1973, then CIA Director Richard Helms ordered documents related to a program called MK-ULTRA destroyed. However, public revelations about this heinous program surfaced during the Church Committee hearings headed by Senator Frank Church, as well as through the Rockefeller Commission.? The rationale for starting such a controversial program was supposedly to catch up with similar projects being conducted by China and the Soviet Union. According to declassified documents, more than 30 institutions and American universities took part in the CIA Black Ops mind control programs.

 Along with experimenting on unwitting American college students, the CIA also tested unsuspecting military personnel, and even people in the agency itself. However, because of the findings of the Church Committee, President Gerald Ford banned further such experiments with an Executive Order on Intelligence Activities. But did such experiments suddenly cease upon the issuance of this Executive Order? If these mind-control techniques had been perfected to an advanced degree of effectiveness, it wouldn't seem likely that covert agencies would just suddenly "cease and desist", although such projects would then probably go even deeper underground on a very select "need to know" basis.

According to the declassified documents, CIA Director Allen Dulles gave the go-ahead for this project and appointed Dr. Stanley Gottlieb head of the program. Beside experimenting on unsuspecting American citizens, the project was also reportedly concerned with how such techniques could be used on the leaders of foreign governments. Another goal, according to the declassified documents, was to "produce amnesia for events preceding and during the mind-control eposide". Such a situation would obviously be perfect for assassins who would later have knowledge of their murderous activities.

Additional objectives, according to the declassified documents, were the making of hypnosis "easier or otherwise enhance its usefulness" as well as greatly increasing the ability of subjects to endure privation, torture, and coercion during interrogation and brainwashing activities. Beside the use of drugs, hypnosis, and radiation, it is known that external electronic devices using microwaves are effective in manipulating a human subject. Scientific research dating as far back as the 1930s already revealed the possibilities of creating energy fields across neural cell membranes to fire by the use of such electronic artificial stimulation.

Today we have the ability to directly implant psychotropic devices into the human skull to create a computer interface in the brain. The same effects can also be employed through the use of encephalograms (EEG), that allow interaction between the devices and the brain that occur without physical implantation. Imagine then, what this same technology could be used for if it was being directed in a negative manner, such as forcing human subjects to perform certain crimes? A subject controlled in such a manner would literally have no choice but to obey. And then after the crime, his memory banks could be wiped clean so he would not even be aware of the event which had just taken place. In the trade it is known as "Hypnotic Dissolution of Memory" or RHIC-HDOM. It would also be possible for the mind-controlled subject to commit suicide, a failsafe way to effectively wiping out any evidence of his having been programmed, provided any implants he had were dissolvable. What better method of disposing of an agent who has finished his or her usefulness than by having this agent self-terminate?

Even though it sounds like the most fantastic science-fiction, the information from the declassified documents hint at possibilities and already effectively tested methods of mind-control that are truly horrifying.

Yale University Professor of Physiology Jose Delgado asserted in his classic work "Physical Control of the Mind" that the ultimate objective of mind-control research is to develop practical mind control systems suitable for "human application". Delgado experimented not only on monkeys but also on select humans. He discovered that by active stimulation of different regions of the limbic system, he could induce fear, rage, even euphoria. In one test, he activated implants in the brain of an epileptic woman who was playing the guitar. After activating a certain area of this woman's limbic system, she suddenly went into a rage, and began smashing her guitar into pieces.

The general conclusion of the MK-ULTRA. MH-CHAOS, COINTELPRO experiments was that these techniques did not work or could not be relied upon consistently. However, if these techniques did work and were currently operational, the public would certainly be the last to know. It's certainly not the kind of thing that a Black Ops group would loudly broadcast to the whole universe. But then again, only mind-controlled Black Ops subjects know for sure.
