I’d say yes to all of the above. My first response to this incident, posted on the morning after, was that he looked as if he was in a state of post hypnotism.
How long can hypnosis last??? We know that CIA had a woman programmed during MKUltra to kill one night before they had her actually pull the trigger by simply pointing a finger at her.
It’s been alleged in The Franklin Cover Up that subjects were turned into schizophrenics in order to manipulate them.
The obstacle here is the parents. It is hard for me to imagine parents allowing it to happen.
