Product Details
Paperback: 222 pages
Publisher: Feral House; First Edition edition (September 1, 1995)
I do not agree with everything is this book. For example, while I do agree that False Memory Syndrome has been abused in order to cover up real crimes, false memories have also been used to convict innocent people. I have a degree in psychology and the main reason I decided not to go into the profession is because of my disgust with much of it, including its many manufactured "diseases". However, there is still much that is valid with the profession and I have witnessed people being given indisputably false memories under experimental conditions. But this, of course, does not mean every memory is false (in fact, this supports his overall thesis). One has to be careful in criticizing anything with too broad a brush stroke. That being said, this is a very thoroughly researched book on the history of mind control experiments, especially in the U.S., with references to, e.g., articles written by Nobel Prize recipients. This book blows the lid off of violations of human rights committed by the U.S. government and others, adding to the damage done by the CIA's already damning public admissions about their MK-Ultra program (and only about 5% of the MK-Ultra files avoided destruction in an attempted coverup before it was discovered by the public!). Even if you reject half of the data and conclusions in this book, what is left is not only extremely informative but terrifying. It is clear from Alex Constantine's writing that he is not a sensationalist, but is genuinely outraged at the injustices committed by the government and wishes to expose them. While this quest may, in my opinion, at times blind him when he is assessing his data, much of it is indisputable and I consider him to be a courageous advocate for the freedom and dignity of human beings and not a charlatan or a phony like many other authors.

As investigative writer and author of the The Professional Paranoid, I found PD/USA jambed tight with useful details and facts, despite a diminutive appearance. I am often asked by others for various helps or information, and often, referring them to PD/USA becomes a perfect starting point for their coming to understand what forces are really at play in the real world. It is NOT a pretty picture... When former heads of the American and Canadian Psychiatric Associations and many other infulential professional groups came directly from CIA mind control projects... When, despite CIA telling Congress that mind control did not work and the research was abandoned, that (as is found in the Appendix of The Professional Paranoid) approximately half of all CIA proprietaries operating in the U.S. have something to do with mind control projects... That anyone who does have a problem CANNOT turn to a professional for help because the professional will automatically label them mentally ill, and perhaps hand deliver them directly to their tormentors 'for further treatment'. The cover is ugly. The topic uglier. The truth ugliest of all. But not to know the truth is to be an obedient lemming chasing the tail of the doomed critter in front of you.

Very informative overview of mind control technology, and the governments unwillingness to admit to its infringement upon civil liberties. Also, excellent take on the False Memory Syndrome Foundation, a group dedicated to, it would seem, denying that child and cult abuse takes place at all. Also, interesting theories on the true nature of "alien" abductions. A must read for any conspiracy buff, especially those skeptical of the alien hypothesis. Flying saucers are man-made. Don't be taken in by the hype decimentated by Hollywood and crackpot saucer buffs. Constantine is at the top of his field, and in top form in this excellent book

At first, I thought some of this to be far-fetched. That is until I got into some areas that I had first-hand experience with, for example the case of the Green Beret Captain Jeffery MacDonald. Constantine reports that MacDonald became suspicious when there was an epidemic of heroin use in the Ft. Bragg area, and MacDonald traced this to heroin coming into the area inside the bodies of killed-in-action out of Vietnam. I know that this went on because I investigated a case of exactly this happening in 1972. This book contains a wealth of information hard to find anywhere else, and I strongly recommend it. If you are one to automatically disregard information that threatens your fundamental beliefs, don't bother. This book will surely do that. I understand that Alex Constantine has recently disappeared under suspicious circumstances.

This is only one of several excellent books that I have seen recently warning of the extent of governmental use of "psychiatrists and/or psychologists"
The astonishment and horror that one experiences when reading allegations of the misuse of drugging, of hypnosis, as well as other forms of abuse cannot be overemphasized. The abuse that DOES become known represents only the tip of the iceberg, according to the Foundation for Truth in Reality and also Citizens Commission on Human Rights International, both of which are available on-line, and cannot be meliorated by allegations concerning the misbehavior of the victims of such torture.
Every human being, including every alleged wrongdoer, is entitled to fundamental human rights of autonomy, privacy and due process of law. Nothing excuses the violation of such rights.
