Publisher's summary

Walter Bowart (1939-2007) was a journalist and a prominent figure in the New York City counter-culture of the 1960s. He was influential in promoting intellectual freedom through his work as editor of The East Village Other and through his Freedom of Thought Foundation.

Bowart's Operation Mind Control: The Cryptocracy's Plan to Psychocivilize You is a classic in the annals of conspiracy research. It is a disturbing account of the secret use of mind control technology, by a secret government (or "cryptocracy"), with an aim to pacifying whole populations and furthering private global-investment strategies. Meticulously researched and well-written, it remains - even today - one of the best books on the topic.

The original version of Operation Mind Control was the first book printed in the United States to explore the murky world of CIA mind control. This theme is common in Hollywood movies today but, at the time (1978), the topic was highly charged, top-secret, and extremely dangerous to research. The book quickly disappeared, because the CIA did not want the public to know the extent and details of its mind control programs (they actually bought up all of the copies that had been printed - an entire warehouse full).

Terrific and terrifying

Terrific and terrifying at the same time. This edition was published a quarter of century ago but still firmly holds your attention.

Terrible recording

This recording is absolute trash. There are probably 100 or more incidents of a line being repeated.

Interesting, frightening, and well researched

Content:

The subject matter was fascinating, and the coverage was detailed. In some cases, the details would cause my stomach to churn. This is the “Researcher’s Edition”. Since I’ve not seen any other editions, I can’t compare it to earlier editions. Other reviews say this is outdated but still very relevant. That is very accurate. I believe the 1st edition of this book came out in 1978 and this “Researcher’s Edition” is circa 1994 or 1995. Regardless, the information is powerful and relevant. For me, it was surprising in that it shook my beliefs in some topics on which I hold strong opinions.



Pros:

- Lots of details with comprehensive follow-through– names, dates, situations all tied together to form the fabric of a disturbing story that has been going on for a very long time.
- The narrator did a very good job especially considering much of the material is very dark.
- Would likely listen to again in the near future, but I need some time to digest this first.


Cons:

- I’ve not run into this before with an audiobook before, but there were times when the narrator would stop mid-sentence and re-read as though he felt he made a mistake or wanted to read it better. This doesn’t happen often enough to be a turn-off, but I would have thought these kinds of things would have been edited out.


Overall:

Go in to this with a strong stomach and an open mind. This is not to say you must believe everything the author has laid out, but even if a fraction of this is true, we should be frightened, but enlightened enough to see through facades all around us and motivated enough to work to change this silent but deadly blight forced upon humanity.

monumental work!

The shear amount of knowledge, and depth in which each topic is covered is astounding. Phenomenal!

Great insight into the world of mind control

If you want to take a deeper dive down the MK-Ultra Mind Control rabbit hole, check out this insightful & well researched book. While I don’t agree with all the author’s conclusions, most have turned out to be very accurately. It’s very applicable to what’s going on today and how MK-Ultra light is being used on the population via propaganda & TV programming thanks to the Entertainment Industrial Complex-Hollywood & the MSM. Look at who owns both of these organizations and along with corrupt politician’s & government agencies, they distort our version of reality. For example, all of the above used fear based mind-control to push certain one-sided and unscientific narratives & beliefs on a so called virus, COVID19, that was 99.8% survivable, to get the population to go along with lockdowns, masking, standing 6 feet apart, and taking an ineffective “vaxx” that has now been proven to cause injury and death. This over-hyped virus was to get people to willingly consent to giving up their rights & freedoms…all over something as deadly as the flu that required an inaccurate PCR test to tell you if you if you were positive or not. Even though most people died of other causes and/or poor hospital protocols. I think this was a test run for something larger and planned years ago. Fear based mind control was used in this PsyOp and now there’s many still suffering from fear and to this day, many are still wearing masks even though many reputable studies prove masks don’t do anything to prevent the spread of viruses are actually unhealthy to be wearing for hours on end. Mass delusional psychosis was very effective in deceiving many and many of the MK-Ultra mind control techniques were used during the CV19 PsyOp. Walter Bowart the author passed away in ‘07 but you can locate interviews with him & his research partner James Martinez on YouTube & Rumble.

I found this to be a fascinating book!

I am wondering if Walter Bowart's death was suspicious or not. He was born in 1939 & died in 2007, so he was only 68. That is young!!! I think he was very brave to have written it & he updated it twice (I think), so I'm sure had he lived, he would have updated it again, perhaps twice. I listened to it twice & perhaps I will again.
