The Brain : A secret history..Mind control

I was just about to go to sleep and turn off my TV, then this documentary popped up on BBC and decided I would watch and I'm glad I stayed up to watch it as it a fantastic look at how humans have tried to control the brains of other's. It goes from horrific scientific probing to the establishment of MKUltra. I think most people on ATS will find this interesting so I'll post the first vid and if you like it you can see the rest on youtube.


I found watching it slightly disturbing, especially after finding out that my Grandmother had electric shock therapy. So an edit just to add it can be quite uncomfortable viewing.

Brilliant video, thanks for sharing!

I've done some very light investigations into hypnotism and covert hypnotism and you might feel compelled to ffind out more, eh? There's more to the mystery!

Mind control may not work, but conditioning and confusion sure as hell do!

Derren Brown seems to think it works.

I think it may only work on people who are susceptible to it, kind of like the Star Wars line about Jedi mind tricks not working on Jabba the Hutt because he wasn't susceptible to mind control.
