Set Up: The Paracast is a paranormal radio show that takes you on a journey to a world beyond science, where UFOs, poltergeists and strange phenomena of all kinds have been reported by millions. The Paracast seeks to shed light on the mysteries and complexities of our Universe and the secrets that surround us in our everyday lives.
Join long-time paranormal researcher Gene Steinberg, co-host and acclaimed field investigator Christopher O'Brien, and a panel of special guest experts and experiencers, as they explore the realms of the known and unknown. Listen each week to the great stories of the history of the paranormal field in the 20th and 21st centuries.
This Week's Episode: So what about claims of ongoing mind control and how powerful are these sinister influences? Marie D. Jones returns to The Paracast discuss her latest book with co-author “Larry Flaxman,” entitled “Mind Wars: Who’s Been Watching You From the Shadows.” The book presents “a history of mind control, surveillance, and social engineering by the government, media, and secret societies.” And, yes, there is a section about subliminal mind control, which recalls what Chris was talking about during the June 28th edition of After The Paracast.” The Manchurian Candidate is also on the agenda.

Available exclusively to Paracast+ subscribers on July 12: Gene and Chris talk about money and politics, and whether candidates should put bumper stickers on their cars — a la NASCAR — to identify who pays the bills. Or maybe wear emblems on their suits, or T-shirts indicating who finances their campaigns. Regardless, our dynamic duo pitches for some way to reform a broken system, suggesting it impacts anyone, regardless of party, who wants to be elected to high office. Returning to the subject of mind control, the main subject of the July 12 episode of The Paracast, Gene and Chris wonder how such efforts might apply to UFO abductions, and whether some of the notable cases were nothing more than planted memories or hallucinations. What about the Barney and Betty Hill abduction and the infamous star map? Was it all theater, staged for their benefit? How many UFO-related experiences are just put-up jobs staged by the authorities or their fellow travelers? During a segment on pop culture, they discuss the new dark cable TV drama, “Mr. Robot,” about computer hackers. Is it really art imitating life, or the other way around?

Making You Believe What Isn’t Really There
By Gene Steinberg
The guiding principle in UFO sightings, including abductions, is reality. People are seeing possibly metallic craft of unknown origin. Some are taken aboard such craft and subjected to physical examinations by a physical crew.
In order to buttress that conclusion, consider the photos, videos and simultaneous radar and visual sightings. If you have all this confirmation that strange things are flitting about the skies, and sometimes landing and leaving possible trace evidence, you are certainly justified in concluding that something physical is going on.
You can debate the cause of these sightings, and it’s still all about spaceships for most who believe in the reality of UFOs. The media continues to refer to those interested in the subject as “spaceship believers” or “extraterrestrial believers.” It only goes to follow that such people are perhaps a little wacky for following this curious subject.
It comes as no surprise that some TV producers are only too happy to create reality shows, sometimes masquerading as documentaries, on the subject. Facts be damned! Whatever it takes to get ratings and advertising dollars.
Now abductions are supposed to have the same level of reality as any other UFO-related encounter. People are removed from the sanctity of their homes or autos, taken aboard spaceships, and sometimes subjected to painful physical examinations. There appears to be a curious or overwhelming obsession with our reproductive organs, and some abduction researchers claim it’s all a part of some grand experiment to create a hybrid race of aliens and humans.
UFOs are often seen by multiple witnesses, but most abductions are personal, with one sole witness. This may happen even if another person is present, perhaps in one’s bedroom. So the companion may remain asleep while the experiencer goes on his or her unexpected and often frightening journey.
The question is, of course, what’s happening to these people. Are there really spaceships in our midst? And, if so, are some of the beings who pilot those craft engaged in a crash program to abduct thousands or millions of humans without regard to their privacy or personal wishes?
The definition of the word is implicit in its unwelcome and possibly criminal nature: “take (someone) away illegally by force or deception; kidnap.” You get the picture. While it may be a decidedly unpleasant encounter, a large number of experiencers claim that the they are pleased with these visits even when they occur on a regular basis.
So the question is whether these people are experiencing something real and physical. Or are there other forces at work?
This isn’t new to most of you, but beginning in the early 1950s, the CIA established Project MKUltra, a mind control program that was designed to manipulate one’s mental state and brain function. It involved all sorts of brainwashing methods, which included the administration of drugs, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, isolation and various forms of abuse.
It wasn’t a terribly pretty concept, and you have to wonder how the CIA was allowed to get away with torturing people on an ongoing basis, but MKUltra supposedly involved 80 institutions that included 44 colleges and universities, along with hospitals, prisons, and, predictably, Big Pharma. In all, a massive effort to control human behavior. While the project supposedly came to a close in 1973, you wonder whether or not it may have continued on a clandestine basis after that.
Now a popular image of the results of such intense brainwashing came to the fore in Richard Condon’s 1959 political thriller, “The Manchurian Candidate.” Most of you probably remember the 1962 screen adaptation that starred Frank Sinatra as a former prisoner of war who attempts to save a fellow soldier, portrayed by Laurence Harvey, from the effects of brainwashing by evil communists. In the film, Harvey’s character is turned into a political assassin who can be triggered into action by a telephone call in which several key words are spoken.
As an interesting aside, the Chinese doctor who heads the mind control effort was portrayed by Khigh Dheigh, an actor who was better known as the villainous Wo Fat in the original “Hawaii 5-0” TV series. He was also a regular panelist on the Long John Nebel radio show, and thus frequently discussed the paranormal and loads of other subjects.
The subject of creating unwitting assassins has also been mined in other movies and TV shows, but it all goes back to such mind control projects as MKUltra. And, in passing, I wonder to what degree the author of “The Manchurian Candidate” may have been influenced by such studies. Remember this book came out at the height of that project.
Setting aside the subject of potential assassins, let’s look at UFOs and related experiences for a moment. When you have a photo and a simultaneous radar return, not to mention some sort of trace evidence of the landing of a mysterious craft, you would assume something physical is going on. But when the encounter involves nothing more than one’s memory of something that was seen, is it possible that there are other forces at work?
I wouldn’t presume to believe that people, at random, are becoming unwitting victims of mind control experiments, or even that a successor to MKUltra is still in operation. But is it at all possible that at least some UFO abductions are little more than planted memories put there by government operatives or their fellow travelers? While there have been reports of possible alien implants in connection with abductions, and the retrieval of those implants, it’s questionable whether any evidence of alien technology has been discovered.
You’d think that an advanced alien race would be capable of miniaturizing an implant to such a degree that it would require a powerful microscope to detect. That’s just a passing observation.
While I realize the first UFO abduction to gain popular attention, the Barney and Betty Hill incident in 1961, may have been precisely what it was supposed to be, is it possible that it was an early mind control experiment? Consider that telltale red herring, the alleged star map. Or the fact the Hills lived near a military base that housed many of their friends.
If MKUltra wanted to test the reaction of humans to contact with alien beings, would they consider using a relatively normal middle-aged couple as the unwary victims? And if so, would the proximity to a military base give them a higher degree of control over the situation?
That the “Interrupted Journey” became a worldwide sensation may not have been part of the plan, but it certainly gave the authorities a chance to gauge the public’s reaction to a credible report of a possible UFO abduction.
Real or not, this case might have inspired mind control agents to use the episode as ammunition with which to engage in further experiments on unwary people.
