It’s worse than that. Among the first things they did, was start dosing everybody at the CIA with L.S.D., also lots of aerial tests of other chemical and bioweapons. Prisoners, and university students, the military, patrons of prostitutes, vagrants, etc. They burned all the records, conveniently, for much of their activities by the 1970s.
Another curious “development”, a coincidence no doubt, was the rise of “trauma based” conditioning brainwashing techniques. The lunatics “over there” discovered that one way to really mess with people, to reshape someone completely, is to rape and torture children and younger people.
Get people to completely divorce themselves from everything they had been taught about morals, right and wrong, everything.
This is a big contributor to the rise of Cult based behavior - a notable example being the Manson gang. Chuck was actually a pretty smart guy in some ways, for someone with no formal education after grade school to speak of. But he had help, he didn’t figure out all those techniques by himself, never in a million years. And he used trauma based conditioning in every facet possible. “How to Win Friends and Influence People” meets “Church of Satan”.
For a so-called civilized country, there’s plenty of evil people in it that will prey upon others weaknesses, and inability to defend themselves. They are no better than the Nazis. I’m 75, and far from naive, but I never thought I’d see my country turn out the way it has.
Very interesting. Thanks for posting.
