Yeah, this stuff is absolutely going on, but like you said, the perpetrators project / cover it up.

BLM activists, for example, talk about how they are subjected to COINTELPRO type tactics.

Wasn’t MKULTRA supposed to use hypnosis to ‘program’ someone? I don’t think it had much success, it wasn’t very effective.

The GOP/Q brainwashing methods are fairly simple, they just use extreme racism and farfetched lies.

As LBJ once said “ If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best black man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.”

(LBJ was commenting on coercion/subversion. I don’t think he was racist - he did pass the Civil Rights Bill)

For example many people say Sirhan Sirhan was MKULTRA’d, hypnotised like a Manchurian candidate. In reality his friends and family were using ‘Tucker Carlson’ style propaganda on him, and he was easily manipulated.
