Quote:The entire subject of mind control is discussed within 56 pages and 277 footnotes of this book. Amazing, isn't it?! How this feat is accomplished is largely by the method of repeatedly making a sentence-long assertion that is backed up by a single referenced footnote to a book or author.

For example, the author asserts "The 'insiders' control both the Democrat and Republican parties."145

Footnote 145 is a footnote referencing a book by Gary Allen and Larry Abraham entitled "None Dare Call It a Conspiracy."

Another example: "The 'educated' and 'intellectuals' are the most vulnerable to propaganda because they absorb the largest amount of secondhand information and consider themselves to be 'above' the effects of propaganda.66.

Footnote 66 refers to a book by Jacques Ellul called "Propaganda."

Many times over, the references in this book are scholarly, but just as many times over, the references are dubious, questionable, and pseudo-scientific, making appreciation for this book a mixed and dubious pleasure since there is no discussion, proof or logical argument backing up of these single-sentence assertions except for the referencing footnotes to some other author's book.

I found in my reading that so long as these references were within the realm of my own knowledge, experience, and undestanding, I had no problem with them, but once they referred to authorities, say, on marihuana, mysticism, paranormal activities and God or that some of the so-called scientists cited here were actually script-writers or some of the authorities were channelers of spirits, I felt cheated and highly disappointed.

The book opens with a rather abstract and vague presentation on "Principles of Mental Programming," which simply summed up means the idea that distraction from conscious focus and repetition of that distraction outside of conscious focus can allow your subconcious to believe information that is not true, so long as it is not contrary to your conscious beliefs. Thus, television, radio, and movies can be instruments for influencing your subconscious mind.

The best part of the book lies in Chapters 7 through 14, pages 15 through 37, where the author presents information about information-control and those who control the information can control your mind and the society you live in. There is information on how effective mind control is also dependent upon the manipulation of language. Much of what is said in these chapters can also be found in George Orwell's novel, "1984."

Even more dynamic than the author's presentation on information control and language is the author's presentation about the power of money, the ruling elite and what is "world government" or communism, along with education as propaganda. The author names names and organizations such as The Council on Foreign Relations and which Presidents of the United States were members (as of 1985, the year in which this book was published). He outlines Cecil Rhodes' role in his commitment to the establishment of World Government, facts that can be found dicussed in more depth by Dr. Carroll Quigley in his books "The Anglo-American Establishment" and "Tragedy and Hope," both of which, though, are cited or referenced in this 56-page treatise.

Once these excellent if brief chapters are opened to the reader and then closed, the author then presents information about occult or secret knowledge, parapsychology, the so-called secret of marijuana, kali yuga, with special emphasis on a channeler from the 1930s named William Dudley Pelley, author of the mystical book "The Golden Scripts." These last presentations were the weakest, the less-likely-to-be-regarded-as-sane or helpful, at least for someone sharing similar objective and secular viewpoints and tastes as I. The author provides some useful and uncomplicated advice on how to relax through breathing, but the inclusion of these very religious and mystical beliefs in a book that claims to be or wishes to be fact-oriented, detracted seriously from the intellectual authority of the author in my estimation.

Still, the many references at the back of the book contain a wonderful payload of other thoroughly interesting books to read on the subect of mind-control and propaganda and, thus, still make this book of continuing use to all individuals who want to know more than what they're told about what's true and what's not true.
