Although it sounds like bad science fiction, it is a matter of historical record that the CIA used hypnotism to train mind-controlled assassins. A 1954 MKULTRA document, MORI ID 190691, reveals the program. Here's some of what it says:
"Miss [redacted] carried out these suggestions to the letter including firing the (unloaded pneumatic pistol) gun at [redacted] and then proceeding to fall into a deep sleep. After proper suggestions were made, both were awakened and expressed complete amnesia for the entire sequence."
I used an image of this document as the basis for AI art. The implications of this information are as massive as they are unsettling. Along these lines, Jose Degado famously stopped a charging bull using a radio signal sent to a brain implant in 1965. If mind-controlled assassins were a thing in 1954 and remote control brain implants were a thing in 1965, imagine what's possible today.
One of the highest profile cases of mind control in recent memory is Keith Raniere's NXIVM cult. Raniere, who is currently serving a 120 year prison sentence, took a skill set he developed doing multilevel marketing schemes and applied this to psychologically controlling a close-knit group of followers. Some of these followers were forced to receive a brand of Raniere's initials on their pubic area. From the Daily Beast:
"Raniere didn’t just torment, torture and psychologically warp those in his orbit; he went one step further by turning his victims into victimizers. Be it with regard to the Salzmans or Mack, Raniere used his "curriculum" to prey upon people’s insecurities, shortcomings and fears, breaking them down and then building them back up in his perverted image. ... For all his talk about morality, ethics, responsibility and trust, he cared only about twisting people into knots and making himself the sole (and always faultless) sage who could deliver them from their failings. ... Raniere coerced every woman in his orbit to do his bidding—including creating DOS, the secret sorority in which the branding, sex abuse and mistreatment occurred (all facilitated by the demand that participants, known as "slaves," hand over damning "collateral" to their "masters," so they could be perpetually blackmailed)."
The collateral mentioned above was one of the more insidious parts of Raniere's operation. NXIVM members that were part of the DOS sorority had to hand potentially damaging information like naked pictures over to their masters, who then perpetually threatened to release this information in the event of non-compliance with NXIVM directives. This use of blackmail to secure compliance is reminiscent of what intelligence agencies have always done. And sexual blackmail has always been currency in politics.
Although Raniere did horrible things, he was fortunately not all that ambitious. His cult was far smaller than the Jim Jones Peoples Temple. He was a sex offender, but nowhere near as prolific an offender as Jeffrey Epstein. It's uncomfortable to consider what might've happened if Raniere had aimed higher.
Most mind control programs in the modern era are subtle. Subtle and diffuse. Yes, there are probably more advanced versions of the hypnotized MKULTRA assassins awaiting instructions somewhere. And there are definitely religious cults using mind control to perpetrate slavery and sex crimes. But these things are exceptional, and they take place in dark corners of society, far from public view.
The mind control programs operating out in the open are much more concerning. From my perspective, the entire covid response was a mind control program. First, governments lied about the virus and its origins to make people more afraid than they would've been otherwise. They lied so successfully that whole populations internalized the lies and used them to justify harming the reputations and livelihoods of anyone opposed to the insane policies imposed upon us. The policies themselves had no legitimate public health purpose, but they did isolate people from each other, both physically and psychologically. The whole debacle looked like a psy op designed to produce an army of conformists. An army that now stands ready to reinforce the next terrible policy, whatever that happens to be.
Having internalized the false reality handed down from the top, this conformist army has gone on the offensive to propagate its false reality throughout culture. Some are going as far as literally rewriting history. The New York Times recently did a piece on how this is happening in fiction. Here's a quote:
"In Agatha Christie’s novels, terms like “Oriental,” “Gypsy” and “native” have been taken out, and revised versions of Ian Fleming’s “James Bond” books will be scrubbed of racist and sexist phrases. Classics by Roald Dahl have been stripped of adjectives like “fat” and “ugly” along with references to characters’ gender and skin color. ... But altering a text carries its own risks. Critics say editing books posthumously is an affront to authors’ creative autonomy and can amount to censorship, and that even a well intentioned effort to weed out bigotry can open the door to more pervasive changes. ... Changes could also remake the literary and historical record by deleting evidence of an author’s racial and cultural prejudices, and eroding literature’s ability to reflect the place and time in which it was created."
Systematically revising history distorts reality, stripping the world of context, making it more difficult to make sense of the present. From a mind control perspective, that is precisely the point. People who are isolated and confused are easy to manipulate. And they can be manipulated into manipulating others.
There are of course things we can do to make ourselves more difficult to manipulate. We can cultivate wellness in a holistic sense, keeping our minds clear and our identities centered. We can also feed healthy social connections, avoiding the kind of isolation that makes us vulnerable. And we can practice discernment, especially when new information with strong emotional appeal comes along.
