This book by the Hersha sisters is the stuff of which legends and movies are made. There have been a couple other recent first person accounts, but they have been privately published and never made it into the bookstores. They have kept their finger in the dyke for decades and this book has the potential to put a major crack in it. The agency has plausible deniability now, and they don't want that to change anytime soon. If Someone came before a judge and said 'my CIA mind control handler made me do it, I am just an innocent victim' the courtroom would laugh. Let's face it the general public and news media in particular are in total denial here. Not for those with weak stomachs, on the other hand if this really turns you on, you may have a bright future on the federal payroll! If you can think of anything despicable you could do to a child, it will probably be graphically portrayed in this book. I am sure there are hardworking sincere people in the CIA doing what they think is best for the citizens of this nation, but it would be a very big stretch to put any of the mind control crowd into that bailiwick. The people involved in this research are clearly criminals by any legal or moral standard, demented creeps would probably be more to the point. What is also grim is the apologetic and flag waving tone that creeps in and out of the work as it progresses trying to give it a 'balanced' perspective. Learn how the CIA would swap their youngest child subjects as favors to academic primate researchers to be used as 'lab rats.' Learn how parents were turned against their own children and were convinced to sign away their kids human rights to the foibles of government torturers. If you wonder just how much fun it was on the other side of the electrodes, you can read this book. Where else could a red-blooded American boy lie, cheat, steal, rape and pillage with the sanction and blessing of the all-highest.' Where else indeed can sadists, pedophiles and satanists frolic together with total immunity under the cloak of 'national security' secrecy laws. FOIA often brings us precious quotes like the reminiscence by Captain George White when he retired from CIA mind control work in 1966.
