Mind control, coffee and heavy clipboards

It is really no big secret that the government was into mind control experiments (and may still be).  They ran around in the 1960's dosing random Americans with LSD without their knowledge under a program called MK-ULTRA. (at least I think it was that program, if it wasn't that one it was another one, but they did do it). A friend of mine once told me his dad did Psi experiments for the Pentagon, as well.  Telekinetic people would come over to their house and move small things around in a glass case with their minds. 

On the way dark side, there are people who allege that the government was/is taking little kids (military brats and orphans, mostly) and traumatizing/programming them on purpose to try and make them into Manchurian candidates. (unconscious assassins, mostly, although there's also the psychic spy variation called "remote viewing"). 

Now that sounds far out, but many shamans (shamen?) say that they became attuned to the spirit world after a traumatic near-death childhood experience.  It would not be a far cry to think that this phenomenon could be engineered; however, I say it would be very unethical.  But if they were dosing people without their knowledge, it is only one or two steps further down the rabbit hole for them to be messing with kids.

But whether it's true or not, it doesn't mean the government has to have all the "fun".  Why not reclaim mind control for ourselves!  But for good purposes!  If nothing else, become more aware so that you might notice when someone is trying it on you.  As far as the ethics go, perhaps it is a matter of degree.  Everyone tries to influence other people's thinking all day long, but you do it too hard and it gets evil.  So here is some food for thought:

Recently I read that coffee makes you more open-minded (read suggestible).  Serving coffee at business meetings or sales presentations might make people more open to your pitch.  Even if they don't drink it!

Yale University's John Bargh did a study about the suggestive power of physical objects, and he concluded that if someone offers you a warm drink, even if you don't drink it, the idea of the warm drink as opposed to a cold one will make you think of the giver of the drink as being emotionally warm on some unconscious level.  Likewise, if you are given a heavy clipboard as opposed to a light one, you will think that whatever document is on it has more "weight".  This could be used to slant someone towards one idea or another based on the weight of the clipboard the idea is on.  You could put the one you want them to pick on the heavy clipboard.  Job candidates could use this technique for making the interviewer think they are more serious than their competitors: just hand the interviewer something kind of heavy.  Maybe your resume on a heavy clipboard, or maybe just have them see you using a heavy looking pen.  I think it would be better if they touched the heavy object themselves, but you don't want to get weird about it.  It would have to be natural.

Perhaps this is why they serve coffee at the new mega-churches nowadays.  (some of them even have cup holders in the arm rests in the sanctuary)  The libation to Caffeina might actually help you get Jesus.  Either that or they just like a good cup of java.  It might just be a happy coincidence.

There is a whole science of persuasion in negotiations that pays attention to details like the layout of the board room, who sits where during a meeting, who makes the first offer, etc.  Real estate guru Peter Conti teaches techniques for getting the purchase price of a house down while talking to a motivated seller. And of course, the advertising industry has been working on subliminal messages for years.  They're not supposed to put them in TV ads, but I once saw a billboard for Kent cigarettes that had a mountain that looked like a big purple pudendum if nothing else.  I got a chuckle out of mispronouncing the brand name of the cigarettes at that moment when I pointed it out to someone.

This article says mind control drugs that control your morality are coming.  This would be good if someone voluntarily took them in order to fix themselves; however, I am against drugging people against their will.
