Here's some more hypnosis and Estabrooks. Bad guy. I'd like to get hold of his doctoral dissertation from Harvard. Anyone know if such things can found on the net?

Time to experiment with the new scanner.

Subject: Mind Control Operational in Gun Control Incidents?
 
    It is no secret that many conspiracy researchers suspect that many of the bizarre "shooting incidents" of recent and not so recent years which are doing so much to promote the "gun control" agenda of the Federal Government, are artificially induced via mind control of one sort or another by operatives closely associated with the "Intelligence Community" or "National Security Dictatorship."  Though America is quite resistant to gun control, England and Australia reacted to only a few such incidents with near complete confiscations!

 
    There are now quite a number of books with varying degrees of credibility that lend support to the hypothesis that Manchurian Candidate style mind control has been experimented with since WWII and may now be perfected and operational for all manner of "National Security" uses.  We propose to review these books, with an emphasis on tracing quotes and documentation to original sources and context whenever possible.  Too often, authors quote selectively and out-of-context to buttress doubtful hypotheses.
 
    With this issue of the Weekly Up-Date, we begin with Dr. George Estabrooks, hypnotist extraordinary.
 
NOTES ON GEORGE ESTABROOKS:
 
    We will start by considering if "mind control" is possible.  George Estabrooks seems to provide the best authority that it is not only possible, but capable of being used operationally since WWII at the latest:
 
    John Mark's _In Search of the Manchurian Candidate_ provides an introduction to George "Esty" Estabrooks typical for the literature of "mind control":
 
". . .At the time, hypnosis was considered a fringe activity, and there was little recognition of either its validity or its usefulness for any purpose--let alone covert operations. Yet there were a handful of serious experimenters in the field who believed in its military potential. The most vocal partisan of this view was the head of the Psychology Department at Colgate University, George "Esty" Estabrooks. Since the early 1930s, Estabrooks had periodically ventured out from his sleepy upstate campus to advise the military on applications of hypnotism.
 
  "Estabrooks acknowledged that hypnosis did not work on everyone and that only one person in five made a good enough subject to be placed in a deep trance, or state of somnambulism. He believed that only these subjects could be induced to such things against their apparent will as reveal secrets or commit crimes. He had watched respected members of the community make fools of themselves in the hands of stage hypnotists, and he had compelled his own students to reveal fraternity secrets and the details of private love affairs--all of which the subjects presumably did not want to do.
 
  "Still his experience was limited. Estabrooks realized that the only certain way to know whether a person would commit a crime like murder under hypnosis was to have the person kill someone. Unwilling to settle the issue on his own by trying the experiment, he felt that government sanction of the process would relieve the hypnotist of personal
responsibility. "Any 'accidents' that might occur during the experiments will simply be charged to profit and loss," he wrote, "a very trifling portion of that enormous wastage in human life which is part and parcel of war."
