This week we learn from Duncan O’Finioan about horrific mind control experiments that he was subjected to as a child. He believes that he was put under terrible pressure that was intended to split his personality. He remembered very little about this until a severe car accident caused a concussion and the return of memory. Whitley Strieber has not only remembered such experiences himself, he has a close friend who recalls his parents being approached to recruit him into such a program. To our knowledge, this discussion between Duncan O’Finioan and Whitley Strieber marks the first time that two individuals who share such memories have ever spoken publicly together. It is a chilling journey into a very, very strange world.

Can scientists discover a way to read our minds? Some of them are on the way to doing just that. If they can then figure out ways to project thoughts INTO our brains, mind control is not far off.

Neurons in the part of the brain called the hippocampus activate when we move around to tell us where we are. When researchers tested volunteers by placing them in virtual environments (via a computer), while looking at their brains with an fMRI machine, they were able to figure out their “location.”

People are still trying to figure how dictators like Hitler are able to control masses of ordinary citizens.

Neurologists are studying this puzzling phenomenon. They think that organized marching and shows of military strength (the kind of thing done regularly in North Korea, for example) are an important part of this, because activities performed in unison increase loyalty to the group. Netherlands neurologist Vasily Klucharev found that the brain releases more dopamine when we act in concert with a group.

In New Scientist, David Robson quotes researcher Scott Wiltermuth as saying, “It makes us feel as though we’re part of a larger entity, so we see the group’s welfare as being as important as our own.”
