Manning also indicated to Rice that Blair needed this UN initiative because the British media and people weren't the pushovers that their American counterparts were. “I said that you [Blair] would not budge in your support for regime change [in Iraq] but you had to manage a press, a Parliament and a public opinion that was different from anything in the States,” Manning wrote.

With all due respect, all these mind control websites are completely bogus. The only "mind control" that works is called "advertising".
When you see loads of TV commercials promoting a certain product, you tend to buy that product more, that's all. If a product isn't advertised much, it doesn't sell.
The US government experiments with LSD did cause problems. LSD causes sleep loss and causes a person to daydream a bit more than usual. But, LSD cannot make a person break the law. In fact, no drugs can cause a person to lose his morals or breal the law.
If a person commits a crime, he knows exactly what he is doing, and he is choosing to do it. http://my.fcc.net/~workgroup5/sup/fictional.html
In large doses, LSD can cause a person to go many days or weeks straight without sleep. The only thing that can counter LSD is lithium carbonate. Lithium neutralizes acids in the body, including LSD, and brings back good sleep again immediately.
This website explains how lithium carbonate works, in plain English http://my.fcc.net/~workgroup5/acahs/medical/m-lithium2.html
There is no such thing as "mind control". People choose to think about certain topics. A person can ignore any topic he doesn't like or understand.
The only thing the US LSD experiments resulted in during the 1970s was increased distrust by the Soviet Union, which resulted in both countries building even more ICBM's.

It is your posts which are bogus. I'm just not sure what your agenda really is...
Let's see, you push the notion that mental illness is all nothing but sleep loss. Obviously sleep loss can cause serious problems, and the current concepts of mental illness definitely need to be questioned, but your position is ridiculous.
You dismiss the idea of harassment with the simplistic statement that the harasser hurts himself or herself more. You preach that no action should be taken against harassers, presumably not even to stop them. If you had ever been subjected to severe, long-term harassment you might see things differently.
Below, you mischaracterize "mind control" in several ways. It is much more than just some LSD experiments that got exposed in the 70s. Why don't you try actually reading the web pages at the link above?

The pages on that website about "mind control" are bogus. They can cause undue fear and confusion in sensitive people who may read them.

That's basically all it is. LOL As much as the privately-run, profit-driven American psychology field likes to make mental illness sound "all so complicated and very hard to understand, requiring years of treatment with expensive drugs and counseling", well it's actually much simpler than that. Mental illness is simple; it is when a person goes 3 or 4 days straight with no sleep.

In fact the term "mental illness" is actually incorrect grammar. If the problem were just mental (involving thinking) then no medication would be needed since medication affects the body physically.

I've been subjected to probably far more harassment than you could ever imagine, all documented with factual affidavits which includes no speculation or opinion, no bogus talk about mind control or imaginary things. All honesty involving eyewitnesses and factual first-hand witnesses.

I did. I've studied the subject extensively over the past 10 years. It's pretty bogus. No one can "make" anyone else do anything. No drugs or illness can cause a person to commit a crime or break the law. That's what they found out during those experiments of the 1970s.
Just because an article is written in a technical manner, doesn't mean it's true or helpful. This applies to all complicated articles on "big government harassing people" to all of the bogus psychology books that try to use technical terms to describe behavior.
Technical terms are needed to help build a car or a computer, but when they try to use technical terms to describe people it doesn't work.
Drugs like LSD can cause a person to go many days without sleep, even weeks without sleep. Lithium carbonate is an antacid that neutralizes LSD and other acids in the body, immediately bringing back good sleep again.
If the individual was daydreaming about things during that time, well, he has to forget about it and stop daydreaming.
A person "chooses" to daydream, or chooses not to. A person chooses what to think about, and what to ignore.
Here's another very good book http://my.fcc.net/~workgroup5/social/cooperation.html

The pages on that web site contain solid articles and references related to mind control. What part of the 1977 Senate hearings is bogus? What part of documented brain implant experiments is bogus? What part of MKULTRA is bogus? Et cetera.
Pages on Nazi Holocaust crimes can cause feelings of sickness and disgust with humanity in sensitive people. So what, it is the reality. It is the same with mind control technologies and abuses.
The area known popularly as "mind control" is quite real, and is a serious human rights issue. Someone like you simply declaring that it is "bogus" is not worth the electrons it took to transmit the signal.

Then people can factor that into how they interpret your opinions.

It is not incorrect grammar, it is a metaphor.

Why did you bother with affidavits? Why did you need eyewitnesses? Why not just relax in the knowledge that the harasser is hurting himself or herself more? I doubt if you have any idea what severe harassment is at the level of the savage and sadistic group stalking that is inflicted on many people. High-tech harassment is also used, and it most definitely is not imaginary.

Then why is it that you apparently know almost nothing about the subject? You just keep repeating the word "bogus"; the few supporting arguments you even attempt to make are either wrong or incredibly shallow.
> It's > pretty bogus. No one can "make" anyone else do anything. No drugs or illness > can cause a person to commit a crime or break the law. That's what they > found out during those experiments of the 1970s.
The experiments that were exposed in the 70s were conducted before then, in the 50s and 60s. You haven't the slightest idea what they found. Even experts in the area only know what was released in the sanitized financial documents that escaped destruction.
As far as "Manchurian Candidates," see, for example, Colin Ross' book _BLUEBIRD_. He concluded that they had been successfully created. Even in Marks' book there is the strong suggestion of that.
The area of mind control is not *only* about getting people to commit a crime or break the law, though. Other goals of projects like MKULTRA were to find deniable ways to harass people and discredit them. Rather than "control," more subtle techniques use what might better be called "influencing." And of course even if the experiments conducted on a nonconsensual citizen do not succeed, it is still a human rights abuse and the person still suffers from it.

How about when technical terms are used to describe technologies which can be used to harass and influence people?
Like all mammals, you and I can be classically conditioned (and operantly conditioned, etc.) Those technical labels may not be the best, but they do describe real situations and repeatable results.

Yeah, sure. You're pushing a quack cure for psychiatric problems.

Bad philosophy, too. Will lithium carbonate magically cure OCD? Do such people just choose their obsessive thoughts?
It takes a lot of training to really be able to control your own thoughts at all. Beginning meditators get to see this firsthand in their own minds... (Controlling your external behavior is a different -- if interrelated -- thing, BTW).
