The major goal of the Cold War mind control programs was to create dissociative symptoms and disorders, including full multiple personality disorder. The Manchurian Candidate is fact, not fiction, and was created by the CIA in the 1950's under BLUEBIRD and ARTICHOKE mind control programs. Experiments with LSD, sensory deprivation, electro-convulsive treatment, brain electrode implants and hypnosis were designed to create amnesia, depersonalization, changes in identity and altered states of consciousness. The purpose of BLUEBIRD: Deliberate Creation Of Multiple Personality By Psychiatrists is to prove that the creation of controlled dissociation was a major goal of mind control research. Other authors, who are not specialists in dissociation, have failed to understand this fact. The reality of the Manchurian Candidate has direct relevance to our understanding of the dissociative disorders. The Manchurian Candidate is an experimentally created multiple personality. One the normal every day regular nice guy but with the flick of a thought a deadly killer emerges with a task to do.
