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. "

From wikipedia.org:
"Philip H. Melanson (1944 - September 18, 2006) was a
Chancellor Professor of Policy Studies at the University of
Massachusetts, Dartmouth.

He served as coordinator of the Robert F. Kennedy Assassination
Archive, which is the world's largest collection on the subject,
and also served as chair of the Political Science Department
for 12 years.

An internationally recognized expert on political violence and
governmental secrecy, Melanson wrote numerous books and
articles related to these subjects. He appeared on NPR, BBC,
CBS, and CNN news programs.

He made 95 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests,
which resulted in the release of over 200,000 pages of federal
government documents on topics relevant to his research.
