The CIA's Control of Candy Jones [Paperback]

Donald Bain (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 2002

In the 26 years since The Control of Candy Jones was first published, the controversy surrounding this wrenching tale of how one of America's most famous models was used by the CIA as a human guinea pig in its infamous mind control experiments, has never completely vanished. It has remained a "cult book," fueling the cause of critics of the CIA, and further defining the now proven (and accepted) thesis that the minds of certain people can be manipulated and controlled, in this instance, for evil purposes. 20th Century Fox paid significant money for it as a film vehicle for Jane Fonda, yet never produced the movie despite attempts at screenplays by three of Hollywood's best, and has refused to sell the rights to the many producers who've expressed interest in making the film. Why? The CIA attempted to suppress the book, as did one of the doctors, a physician to the stars, who spearheaded the intelligence agency's mind control experimentation. This edition, with a new foreword by the author, presents another opportunity for every concerned citizen to share the compelling tragedy suffered by Candy Jones during that dark, tumultuous period in our history known as the "Cold War."

5.0 out of 5 stars Very readable book of mind control by a CIA-military doctor., April 8, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The CIA's Control of Candy Jones (Paperback)

I couldn't put this book down once I started it. It gives an account of how the military and CIA gained her trust, then used drugs and hypnosis to split her into two personalities to make her into a Manchurian-Candidate like person to do their bidding. This is the most readable book I have read on mind-control. I would recommend read this book FIRST to gain an understanding of mind-control, THEN read the other books.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Believe This, September 17, 2005

This review is from: The CIA's Control of Candy Jones (Paperback)

I have books by two other people, though not as well thought out as this one. I believe these claims because it is so unlikely that these three got together. Besides, Candy Jones ran her own business and has a very logical, pragmatic, mind. She also had enough money to get to doctors who she trusted to help get her back to normal, or at lest function as normal.

I listened to her on the radio and remember her not wanting to tell this story because it is embarrassing and she was so afraid of the people who did this to her.

She warned people to take a tape recorder with them to the doctor's office. I respected Candy very much and was so sorry to hear that her patriotic motivations were turned around by the government to cause her harm.

I was Conservative at the time, the first two books I read, for entertainment mostly, were very disjointed, hard to read, and not organized properly. But the thought did occur to me that if these women had gone through what they claimed and did not get a lot of serious help, perhaps that is the way that they would write.

When I read about Candy, who I respect, it was the start of my entire political outlook changing because there is no way that I can deny her story.

It appears as though many of the things that we used to accuse the Soviets of are things that we are guilty of, too.

I recommend this book to everyone.

This review is from: The CIA's Control of Candy Jones (Paperback)

This book is by no means a blow out book that is hard to put down, but then again I knew that before I purchased it. The problem lies with the illuminati and their Knight of Malta front group (99% of the directors of the CIA are ALL Knights of Malta...a branch of the illuminati working to have the pope run the New World Order) known as the CIA. A lot of people play blind to the many distractions of this world which is a shame, however, that does not mean that the CIA HAS NOT admitted to doing MK ULTRA and Monarch programming of the minds...because they indeed admitted it and publicly stated that they stopped as of 1967. The problem is that this organization belongs to a highly luciferian/occult secret society known as the illuminati and if they admitted to doing this some 30 years after they actually started and knowing what they are connected to it is rather difficult to take them at their word...I mean would you trust someone, anyone who worships lucifer??? Of course not, but anyway about the book I was highly fascinated to how they got poor old Candy roped in and some of the stuff she endured was just awful and the CIA pretty much ruined her life via hypnosis mind control programming. Anyone who KNOWS, not thinks because like I stated earlier...the CIA admitted they did it, about the mind control programming should want to read this book. My thoughts and prayers go out to anyone who has ever had to endure such manipulation just so they can become some puppet of the illuminati. May the blood of Christ Jesus heal all their minds of this debauchery.
