How MK Ultra Used Subliminals to Control the Minds of AmericaBy Melissa Dykes It was a national anthem sign-off of The Star Spangled Banner with hidden subliminals to obey government among other things straight out of the John Carpenter film They Live. The clip supposedly came from a film reel found by an employee at a local Alabama TV station. While it appears authentic for the time period, and intact (as in, the subliminals werent just edited over an existing film), others have called it a hoax for various reasons ranging from it just seems too on-the-nose to subliminals dont work so why would they bother. Well, a few more things have come to light surrounding that video which lend a little more credence to the belief that it might, in fact, be real. The Congressional Subcommittee on Transportation, Aviation and Materials held a hearing dedicated to subliminal communication technology. Entered into the record are several interesting tidbits. First, its noted in a Southern California Law Review on Congressional Record that: According to previously classified documents, the CIA tested subliminal manipulation in movie theatres during the late 1950s and in a document on these studies speculated that subliminal projection can be utilized in such a way as to feature a visual suggestion such as Obey [deleted]. Wow. Sounds strikingly like the anthem video. The CIA was talking about putting OBEY into a subliminal AND they were already testing subliminals in movie theaters in the U.S. in the late 50s when the national anthem video would have been created for testing. Keep in mind, the national anthem video, the declassifed CIA documents, and even the hearing before Congress all occurred before the film They Live was released. The document goes on to mention: The Central Intelligence Agency has investigated the possibility of using subliminal communication to implant suggestions or commands, to reduce a subjects resistance to hypnosis or to affect political outcomes. and Recently declassified materials document CIA interest in subliminal communication during the late 1950s. These documents suggest that government use of subliminal techniques could proliferate and yet remain undisclosed for national security reasons. Therefore, the extent and types of uses to which subliminal communication devices are being put may never be completely determined. Subliminal technology used by the government is a matter of national security. Good to know. Also interviewed by Congress at the hearing was Dr. Hal C. Becker, president and founder of a company called Behavioral Engineering Corporation, who sold little black boxes to corporations which played behavior-influencing subliminals mixed with music at a level so low, people wouldnt consciously hear it. The box played the subliminals at the rate of 9,000 times an hour, telling people things like I will not steal to cut down on shoplifting or I love real estate for employees at a real estate office for example. Over and over and over 9,000 times an hour. He calls it Subliminal psychodynamic activation. Some 50 businesses were using these black boxes at the time of the Congressional Hearing, and Becker had even sold one of his devices to an unnamed NFL team to encourage the players to win games. Dr. Becker was quoted by a 1979 Time Magazine article as saying, I see no reason why there wont be audio-conditioning in the same way we now have air conditioning. It should also be noted that Dr. Becker has an extensive CV that involves working with known MKUltra-funded Dr. Robert G. Heath, a man who experimented extensively with psychosurgery and implanted electrodes into peoples brains to control their emotions. Becker began his career as a research associate in the MIT Radiation Lab during the last three years of World War II a prime time to get involved in secret government projects considering the Manhattan Project was going on at that time and MIT was definitely involved. Becker became an instructor of physics at Tulane University just after that as the national security complex was being erected and the Cold War began. He worked alongside Dr. Heath, Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry and Neurology at Tulane, throughout the 1950s, 60s and 70s. Becker, in fact, has co-authored numerous papers with Heath, including one titled, Methods of Stimulation Control and Concurrent Electrographic Recording published in Electrical Stimulation of the Brain, Subcortical Integrative Systems. But I digress Some people say subliminals dont work, so who cares if the CIA was experimenting with subliminals added to a national anthem sign-off. We care that the government was involved in doing this at all. Beyond that, people with a resum like Dr. Becker has dont spend decades of their life pursuing a completely useless technology. Obviously, at some level, it did work. At some level, it does work. And who knows what they have today Our original report: Melissa Dykes (formerly Melton) is a co-founder of TruthstreamMedia.com. She is an experienced researcher, graphic artist and investigative journalist with a passion for liberty and a dedication to truth. Her aim is to expose the New World Order for what it is a prison for the human soul from which we must break free. Subliminal messaging, coupled with drug use, is a toxic cocktail. I guess thats why they call it programming. How do you convince people that television is really tell-a-vision? How do you convince them that programs actually program the mind? You cant. Once theyve consumed enough they wont turn it off because its like a drug for your subconscious. They plant the seeds and watch them grow into your own self-destruction..diabolical. Its the same thing with microwave ovens. They were not invented for convenience and quick meals. They were invented to destroy the nutrients in food. It only takes about 20 seconds to destroy all of the healthy benefits of vegetables in the microwave. Theyve been killing us for a long time. well their message has certainly failed on me, because I do not have any of these beliefs. This is really FARRRRRR out there Really? I call BS
