SPOILER ALERT: The Reclamation
-----
MK-ULTRA was a classified CIA project that conducted experiments on hundreds of individuals (sometimes unknowing U.S. citizens) to learn more about trauma-based mind control. The controversial project lasted from 1953-1973, and details about the unconscionable projects were finally made public in 1975. The project used mind control, hypnosis, and even torture to convince otherwise 'normal' people to take part in horrific acts that they would later entirely forget. Take a look at some of the well-known projects:
Cold War Projects - human experiments involving electroshock therapy and psychedelic drugs conducted in universities, prisons, and hospitals.
"The Church Committee" - creating soldiers capable of executing plots to assassinate influential foreign leaders such as Fidel Castro
These insane experiments eventually led to an Executive Order in 1976 which prohibited U.S. intelligence agencies from experimenting on human subjects without their informed consent.

Similarly, in World, Incorporated Agent Silver went through some kind of torture and experimentation that he has difficulty recalling (other than during intrusive flashbacks). Eventually, he was brought out of the horrific prison-like experiment and placed into a 'reeducation' facility likely by the very same people who put him through the torturous experiment. He often mentions feeling numb and dissociated which are both side-effects of trauma and torture, but his fleeting moments of emotion seem to be slowly breaking the hold the mind-control has over him.
Thoughts?

That's true! These "super soldiers" are a theme in many stories, but few realize the very real experiments that took place by our own government to create them! There are a lot of theories out there about Lee Harvey Oswald, John Booth, and others being victims of these mind contol projects!

I had passed on reading this book but based on your question and correlation to real world events I might give it a read.

Well thank you! That means a lot! The Stanford Prison Experiment is something that has always interested me. I was saddened to hear about recent claims that the results are fraudulent based on deceit.ShareTheGift wrote: ↑02 Aug 2018, 12:12 Behavior individuals have been subjected to can definitely change them. The Stanford Prison Experiment definitely proved that. Those assigned the role of prison guards became stern and abusive and those assigned the role of prisoners became fearful and stir crazy. So even those who consent to various experiments have no idea how their behavior may change.
