I've never read this book, it sounds too much like a schizophrenic. The trouble is verifying such an account, it seems odd that such tales are so rare. Mind control is nothing new, and the research from World War One brought in public relations where it was discovered that you don't need violence to control a population, you only need to instill fear of a supposed enemy. <br />

Discussing mind control is fine, just watch fox for two hours and you'll see it hard at work. When people look to such examples as the above it simply renders discussion impossible, because it can't be verified (conveniently) and because it DOES sound schizophrenic and therefore quickly dismisses the proponent of the argument as a UFO watching, bigfoot for tea, lunatic. Who knows, maybe the schizophrenics are just plain right, but once you get labelled with that crowd its a hard box to get out of. If we could discover whether it was true, that would be different, but unverified claims are exactly that, and I've worked with enough schizophrenics to know that such claims can seem VERY believable when coming from an intense mind.
