Poisoner in Chief by Stephen Kinzer Pdf

The bestselling author of All the Shah’s Men and The Brothers tells the astonishing story of the man who oversaw the CIA’s secret drug and mind-control experiments of the 1950s and ’60s. The visionary chemist Sidney Gottlieb was the CIA’s master magician and gentlehearted torturer—the agency’s “poisoner in chief.” As head of the MK-ULTRA mind control project, he directed brutal experiments at secret prisons on three continents. He made pills, powders, and potions that could kill or maim without a trace—including some intended for Fidel Castro and other foreign leaders. He paid prostitutes to lure clients to CIA-run bordellos, where they were secretly dosed with mind-altering drugs. His experiments spread LSD across the United States, making him a hidden godfather of the 1960s counterculture. For years he was the chief supplier of spy tools used by CIA officers around the world. Stephen Kinzer, author of groundbreaking books about U.S. clandestine operations, draws on new documentary research and original interviews to bring to life one of the most powerful unknown Americans of the twentieth century. Gottlieb’s reckless experiments on “expendable” human subjects destroyed many lives, yet he considered himself deeply spiritual. He lived in a remote cabin without running water, meditated, and rose before dawn to milk his goats. During his twenty-two years at the CIA, Gottlieb worked in the deepest secrecy. Only since his death has it become possible to piece together his astonishing career at the intersection of extreme science and covert action. Poisoner in Chief reveals him as a clandestine conjurer on an epic scale.

Battle for the Mind by William Sargant Pdf

How can an evangelist convert a hardboiled sophisticate? Why does a prisoner of war sign a "confession" that he knows is false? How is a criminal pressured into admitting his guilt? Do the evangelist, the POW's captor, and the policeman use similar methods to gain their ends? These and other compelling questions are discussed in this definitive work by William Sargant, who for many years until his death in 1988 was a leading physician in psychological medicine. Sargant spells out and illustrates the basic technique used by evangelists, psychiatrists, and brainwashers to disperse the patterns of belief and behavior already established in the minds of their hearers, and to substitute new patterns for them.

World as Laboratory by Rebecca Lemov Pdf

Deeply researched, World as Laboratory tells a secret history that's not really a secret. The fruits of human engineering are all around us: advertising, polls, focus groups, the ubiquitous habit of "spin" practiced by marketers and politicians. What Rebecca Lemov cleverly traces for the first time is how the absurd, the practical, and the dangerous experiments of the human engineers of the first half of the twentieth century left their laboratories to become our day-to-day reality.

Reach for the Top by Anne Sinai Pdf

The popular screen and stage star Laurence Harvey (1928-1973) is best remembered for his stellar performance in the film The Manchurian Candidate—a 20th century classic. Of his 50 films, Room At the Top not only brought sexual permissiveness to American and British screens and an Oscar nomination, but it also branded him a heartthrob sensation. For all his fame and fortune, Harvey's short life was riddled with controversy, demonized by critics, and fraught with tragedy. In this revealing biography by Harvey's sister-in-law, readers are provided a close-up view of his career, his three marriages and his longtime sexual affair with one of his male producers. It also details his battle with cancer and his failure to acknowledge its seriousness. Packed with personal anecdotes, more than twenty black and white photographs, and a filmography, Reach for the Top: The Turbulent Life of Laurence Harvey will fascinate film students, scholars, and fans of the actor.

Cinema '62 by Stephen Farber,Michael McClellan Pdf

Lawrence of Arabia, The Miracle Worker, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Manchurian Candidate, Gypsy, Sweet Bird of Youth, The Longest Day, The Music Man, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane, and more. Most conventional film histories dismiss the early 1960s as a pallid era, a downtime between the heights of the classic studio system and the rise of New Hollywood directors like Scorsese and Altman in the 1970s. It seemed to be a moment when the movie industry was floundering as the popularity of television caused a downturn in cinema attendance. Cinema ’62 challenges these assumptions by making the bold claim that 1962 was a peak year for film, with a high standard of quality that has not been equaled since. Stephen Farber and Michael McClellan show how 1962 saw great late-period work by classic Hollywood directors like John Ford, Howard Hawks, and John Huston, as well as stars like Bette Davis, James Stewart, Katharine Hepburn, and Barbara Stanwyck. Yet it was also a seminal year for talented young directors like Sidney Lumet, Sam Peckinpah, and Stanley Kubrick, not to mention rising stars like Warren Beatty, Jane Fonda, Robert Redford, Peter O’Toole, and Omar Sharif. Above all, 1962—the year of To Kill a Mockingbird and The Manchurian Candidate—gave cinema attendees the kinds of adult, artistic, and uncompromising visions they would never see on television, including classics from Fellini, Bergman, and Kurosawa. Culminating in an analysis of the year’s Best Picture winner and top-grossing film, Lawrence of Arabia, and the factors that made that magnificent epic possible, Cinema ’62 makes a strong case that the movies peaked in the Kennedy era.

Operation Mind Control: the CIA's Plot Against America by Walter Bowart Pdf

"The Manchurian Candidate" was fiction. This, however, is fact. This could be the most terrifying true story ever to emerge regarding the U.S. national security state - the first book ever written about the CIA's mind control programs. The book became an instant classic, in part because the CIA bought up all the copies it could, simply to keep them off the shelves and out of the hands of the public. In these pages, author Walter Bowart uncovered a huge government "cryptocracy" dedicated to controlling and manipulating human minds. Through hypnosis and drugs, ordinary citizens became CIA "zombies": human computers, spies, trained assassins, and couriers with no control over, or memory of, their actions. Only unexplained memory gaps, multiple personality disorders, or other "mistakes" in programming revealed that something was amiss. Could you be one of the thousands of people ready to be "triggered" into action by some seemingly random cue? Bowart's devastating account includes top secret documents outlining the cryptocracy's cold-blooded programs, as well as startling new evidence linking "assassins" Lee Harvey Oswald, James Earl Ray, and Sirhan Sirhan to Operation Mind Control.

Using Hypnotism: Expert Tips from the Creator of the Manchurian Candidate Or Mind-Controlled Assassin by G. Estabrooks Pdf

Since the days of Count Mesmer, discoverer of "mesmerism" (the name given to the strange condition of mind we now call the "hypnotic trance"), this mysterious force has been both exploited and discredited. The author of "Using Hypnotism," George H. Estabrooks (creator of the "Manchurian Candidate" or mind-controlled assassin for the U.S. military) does his best to bring credit to the field, despite its obvious exploitation.Estabrooks believes that hypnotism stands in the same category as chemistry, physics, and mathematics, and should not be shadowed by popular ignorance and suspicion. It is based on definite laws and principles, and has evolved as a true science - a branch of the great subject of the human brain and human consciousness.The main facts and rules upon which the science of hypnotism are based are presented in this book. However, certain highly specific technical applications of those rules are unsuited for popular consumption, and are only touched on lightly, such as the use of hypnotism in warfare. Despite the obvious dangers of such techniques, the author believes it is the duty of science to discover, analyze, and master the mechanisms involved, regardless of how the unscrupulous may use them.While Estabrooks explodes a good many myths and popular superstitions about hypnotism, he makes it clear that hypnotic trance can be easily induced in many people, even without their knowledge, and then used either for good and beneficent purposes or the opposite. To know the truth about this mysterious force is a vital matter for all of us.
