Idle speculation about super-secret government mind-bending experiments that program random civilians to mass murder may be fun but they fall into the "paul is dead" category of diversion.
It’s not idle speculation. Have you read the declassified documents about MK-Ultra?
Richard Helms destroyed a lot of them..but some still exist.
For example, they experimented on a woman who feared guns. They wanted her to kill without remembering it.
They pointed a finger at her. Something they programmed into her from the night before. She went into a hypnotic state. She had been instructed that she would be in such a rage that she wouldn’t hesitate to kill a certain person because that person wouldn’t awaken. She picked up the gun, the person wouldn’t awaken (that person had been programmed, too) fired the gun at the person, and didn’t remember afterward she did it. After they got her out of the hypnotic state she feared the gun and didnt remember that she had shot the gun.
I bring this one up because I just read that particular document.
Kind of like Sirhan Sirhan.
