MK-Ultra is synonymous with mind-control. It's the name of an American (black) project, with the aim to break down the human defenses. In this way spies could be drugged, so they told the truth and soldiers could be trained to follow orders and perform formidable tasks. The CIA did several tests with LSD. They even gave it (without informing them) to their own staff. Though it started out quite promising, its long term results were unpredictable, chaotic and random. Electro shocks were used to erase a patient's memories and implant new ones. But the victims turned into vegetables. These experiments aimed at the creation of a super-soldier, who was determined to fulfill the task, he was carefully programmed for. Part of the imprinting is done by drilling, propaganda and indoctrination. “Sir, yes, sir”, is a constant input to obey and to submit. I remember a woman-soldier, who had lost both legs in Iraq. She had lost in “her fight for democracy”. Whatever that maybe.
By the way, many amputees return into active service. For those, who can use their arms and hands, they can monitor drones over Afghanistan.
Supremacy is another human drive to be manipulated. Hitler's soldiers felt superior to the Jews and the Slavic people. They treated them as inferior animals. But the modern US. Army feels superior to. They show it by urinating over dead Taliban or by the horrors and humiliation at the Baghdad prisons. Like the Nazi's, they don't care, like all the other Allies for Afghan freedom, about civilians. Their, foreseeable, death is collateral damage. When the West leaves Iraq and Afghanistan. When their mission is completed, the people will live, traumatized among ruins, while the Elite, supported by democracies, cashes the mineral wealth and oil reserves of the area.
Another approach of programming people is by hypnosis. People do all kinds of silly things, but the subject is very serious. It is possible to “possess” a person by conditioning certain key-words (triggers). When a certain word is heard, another program takes over. During an experiment a subject was indoctrinated to perform a limb, when he heard the word “rosebud”. He walked around perfectly until his mobile rang. He heard the word, and immediately could not move his right leg. Another word and he acted normally again. But he could not remember, why he acted like that.
This is frightening. What if you ordered some-one to kill, triggered by a sound or a word. The general opinion is, that ethics and values will stop the hypnotee. A (normal) person would not commit a crime (under hypnosis).
But what if ethics and values have changed and declined. What if death is marginalized and hidden, where dying is simplified. There are millions and millions of youngster trained to shoot on sight, while playing war-simulation "games". They learn to kill from a distance without remorse. And you never die! You may even earn some new “lives” on the way. These youngsters have operated in Iraq and Afghanistan. There no hesitation at all, to shoot on unknown human beings, when you use a drone. The consequences of their acts is far, far away. Unseen, unknown.
Jason Bourne was not hypnotized, when he was ordered to shoot an, unknown, prisoner. The face of the potential victim was hidden by a brown, paper bag. Jason fired the gun and proved himself. You may say, that it is just a movie. It is entertainment (!). Let me say to you, that these kind of initiation-rites are performed all over the world. From recruiting youngsters in Africa, to fight a war over gold, coltan (for our cell phones) or diamonds, to Mexican and American gangs, as the only escape out of a desperate world. Until we outgrow this primitive reactions, this senseless killing will go on and grow. Every year thousands of “latent” killers hit the streets. Especially, when the war is over.
