Mass Control: Engineering Human Consciousness
Here stands the New Man. His conception of reality is a dance of electronic images fired into his forebrain, a gossamer construction of his masters, designed so that he will not--under any circumstances--perceive the actual. This New Man's happiness is delivered to him through a tube or an electronic connection. His God lurks behind an electronic curtain; when the curtain is pulled away we find the CIA sorcerer, the media manipulator. Jeff Keith is one of the foremost writers and researchers on political conspiracy in the world today.

For ages, the world’s elite have been engaged in a war against the people of Earth. Driven by extreme greed, one aspect of this war was the transformation of psychology. In Germany of the late 19th century, it was changed from a humanistic to a scientific field of study used as a method of total control.
Most of today’s news media is controlled by half a dozen companies, so the American people are only being told what they want us to know. The penetration of the TV networks by the intelligence agencies has been going on since the early 1900s. Of course, a well known technique for manipulating mankind is through eugenics, "perfecting" humanity through genetics (along with sterilization and murder for the "unfit"). Another technique of control is to destroy traditional morality, and to normalize deviancy. Enter Alfred Kinsey of the "Kinsey Report."
Experiments began during World War I to create mind-controlled intelligence agents and assassins through hypnosis. If it can be used to cure a person of multiple personalities, then hypnosis can be used to create multiple personalities (like "The Manchurian Candidate"). Much research under the CIA’s program MKULTRA took place in Canada. It was conducted by a psychologist who wanted to see if, through drugs and electroshock, a person’s behavior patterns can be totally erased, then replaced with new behavior patterns.
Another famous MKULTRA figure injected an elephant with a huge dose of LSD supposedly to provide insight into animal behavior. The elephant collapsed in a stupor, and while trying to revive it with other drugs, Dr. Louis "Jolly" West killed the animal. This book explores the role of the occult and religion in world control, electronic brain implants, mind-controlled sex slaves, electronic mind control and psi war.
This is a really interesting book, though it may also seem more than a little bit spooky. It will give the reader plenty to think about.

I dug this. Lots of cited sorces and real life cases that it isn't just a mindless alarmist book. It was really government heavy, which is fine, but I was hoping for more about the media's involvment in mass control.

For those that do not know, Jim Keith was a very astute, well grounded researcher that wasn’t afraid to tackle issues most investigators wouldn’t cover.
Arguably Keith’s best work was his continuous coverage of what has been called Mind Control. This is best exemplified in his book Mass Control: Engineering Human Consciousness.
This book not only covers the psychological and technological control that was looked into by the powers that be going back decades, but also how the CIA is coupled to this rather disturbing scenario.
Keith does an outstanding job of detailing the origins of this mechanism of social control, as well as being extremely precise in laying down the foundation of what places, such as the Tavistock Institute, were behind much of the push to implement this agenda in society.
As some of you may know, the Tavistock Institute is at the forefront of Social Engineering at a vast scale, and one of the best examples of this can be seen in the book Tavistock Institute – Social Engineering The Masses by Daniel Estulin.
The notable subjects that Keith begins in a wide & trenchant glance within this book, Estulin sinks his teeth into further in his own book. Needless to say, the Tavistock institute is not the only major institution that has help fuel this nefarious Social Engineering agenda.
In any case, other quite notable aspects of societal control that Keith delves into include how society is being dumbing down, how ideology is often manipulated, how the subversion of sex is used, and how the erasing of the individual by molding them into a mindless robot is also being attempted. But there’s more.
Veterans of these disciplines will know about official mind control programs such as Project Monarch, as well as the well-known Project MK Ultra, which is “sometimes referred to as the CIA’s mind control program, was the code name given to an illegal program of experiments on human subjects, designed and undertaking by the United States Central Intelligence Agency [CIA].”[1]
As the author details, not only do these programs have a streak of cult practice in them, but they also feature a extreme abuses with the use of drugs, as well as psychological abuses as individuals were made in every which way to bend to the will of the comptrollers running the programs.
What’s worse, is that the concealment of this abuse took place for a really long time, with many subjects unknowing of what took place due to the psychological programming that took place during the experiments. This is accomplished by erecting “pseudo-scholarly fronts to disprove that such misdeeds exist. Once such group is the False Memory Syndrome Foundation, a group of psychiatrists whose mission is to prove that cult abuse and mind control are figments of the imagination.”[2]
Its extremely disturbing that we live in a society that can not only carry out such experiments, but after being caught red handed continues its attempt to sweep its misdeeds under the rug. Then again, those running the show [besides still being in power] have no respect for humanity, so its par for the course really.
All of the above, and much more is sifted through quite in depth by Jim Keith in this book. This alone is a great starting point for those looking into the subject of mind control, but could also buttress research already known if the reader is already quite savvy in the subject.
Regardless, its a topic that affects us today, because as many investigators/researchers have detailed, its being used against people to mold our very minds.
To sum up this work, it is best to leave you with this nigh century old Orwellian quote by Edward Bernays, author of Propaganda:
“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. …We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. …In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons…who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.”

CIA fundeded psychiatric studies, programs and experiments using mind control and brainwashing. Subliminal messages, mkultra, haarp, LSD experiments, electro-magnetic brainwave manipulation. I'm a little skeptical of the "I was a mind controlled sex slave for world elites" and the satanic ritual abuse claims but other than those all this stuff is documented and checks out pretty well. Its depressing to see just how evil the us government is, but nothing surprises me anymore.

This was my first introduction to MK Ultra. Very good book covering a wide range of topics dealing with covert operations to control mass consciousness. I could have done without the unsubstantiated personal account by the lady claiming to be Kissinger's sex slave.

Contender for the worst cover, this is worth reading. Great summary of the attempts of man to control the thoughts of his brothers. Though not new info for those of us that trawl through the internet for alternate viewpoints I wish there was a little more depth here. Most chapters could have been their own book and need further clarification and exploration.
We live in the age of the great and now never ending psy-ops. It is difficult to know up from down with any certainty. Amongst Mattias Desmet's claims of Mass Formation, and the never ending slinging of the term "fake news" from all sides, it is clear that the modern battlefield is in the mind of the individual.

Jim Keith made a career out of straddling the counter-culture and the far-right "patriot" scene in the 1990s, but this final book of his sees him more definitively shifting towards the latter, with homophobic screeds about "traditional values" being undermined as form of mass control (when surely "traditional values", in and of themselves, are also a method of societal control).

Definitely on the fringes. I don't have any if the citations he lists to verify some of the claims and other information isn't cited at all. Still a very entertaining, albeit terrifying revelation of what man and man with power can and will do.

Worth the bibliography alone!

Latura mea conspirationista se declara multumita. Recomand pentru chestiile de "mind control".

reading this in modern times is a massive eye opener as to what current mass media and social media is capable of. reccomed up the with must reads like 1984 brave new world

Somewhat dry read on multiple CIA conspiricies of mind control. Wish the author would have broadened the scope to deal with general population mass control.
