Part 2: How CIA Hypnotizes Mass Shooters From the book, THE ROBERT F. KENNEDY ASSASSINATION, ~~ by Philip H. Melanson ~~ -- Page 173 -- "Hypnosis became yet another of the Cold War's weapons- development races. In 1951, CIA behavioral research coordinator Morse Allen became enamored of hypnosis and began voraciously reading the literature on it. He then took a four-day crash course from one of New York City's leading stage hypnotists. Among other impressive uses of hypnosis, the mentor regaled Allen with stories of using it to seduce women. In one case the practitioner convinced a woman, under hypnosis, that he was her husband, and that she desperately desired to make love to him. Allen wrote back to the CIA touting the espionage uses of hypnosis. He also duly noted that his New York teacher `spent approximately five minutes a week engaging in sexual intercourse with his various female subjects.' In addition to tales of sexual exploitation, Allen learned enough from the brief workshop to be able to put on a little demonstration back at CIA headquarters. He experimented on his office secretaries, hypno-programming them to `steal' secret files and pass them to total strangers. Allen induced one of his secretaries to report to the bedroom of a complete stranger, where she fell into a pre-programmed trance. `This activity clearly indicates,' he wrote, `that individuals under hypnosis might be compromised or blackmailed.' If spying was that amenable to the uses of hypnosis, then what about killing? By 1954, the CIA's pursuit of the robot assassin was proceeding in earnest. A CIA memo dated January of that year discusses a `hypothetical problem'; `Can an individual of [deleted] descent be made to perform an act of attempted assassination involuntarily . . .?' It describes using a particular person, name deleted, to turn him into a `trigger mechanism' whereby he can be `induced to perform the act of attempted assassination at a later date. All of the above to be accomplished at one involuntary uncontrolled social meeting. After the act of attempted assassination was performed, it is assumed that the subject would be taken into custody by the [deleted] government and disposed of.' The target of the attempted assassination was to be 'a prominent politician [of the foreign country] or, if necessary, an AMERICAN OFFICIAL.' [emphasis added] The memo (see photo/documents section of this book) warns that this hypothetical operation would probably not be successful because access to the subject would be too limited and the man would be acting involuntarily. Despite such problems, and despite the fact that this operation is described as `insignificant' in the overall mind-control project, the memo concludes that, `under crash conditions' and appropriate authority from HQ, the ARTICHOKE [code name for the mind-control project] team would undertake the problem in spite of its operational limitations.' Limitations notwithstanding, Morse Allen, ready to put on a stage show of his own, performed at CIA headquarters only two months after the memo was written. Having put one of his secretaries into a deep trance, he instructed her to stay that way. He then hypnotized one of her colleagues and told the second woman that if she could not awaken the first she would be so enraged that she would `kill' her while she slept. Allen's hit woman, who had previously expressed a fear of firearms, dutifully picked up a hand gun left by her boss, and `shot' her dozing colleague. When Allen brought the assailant out of her trance, she not only had no memory of the `shooting,' but she denied that it ever occurred. " - - - - - - End of Excerpt - - From wikipedia.org: "Philip H.
