I hope I don't start a general scientologist bash, but while looking up Project BLUEBIRD on Wikipedia [1], I checked the discussion page and saw an interesting comment [2].<br><br>Here is the article entry:<br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>BLUEBIRD is the cryptonym for an alleged CIA mind control program, lasting from 1951 to 1953. During this time the CIA authorized experiments to be conducted by licensed psychiatrists. The experiments had various purposes, including but not limited to: creating new identities, inducing amnesia, inserting hypnotic access codes in subjects' minds, creating multiple personalities, and creating false memories. The research also included placing brain electrodes in people and controlling their behavior from remote transmitters, administering daily dosages of LSD to children for extended periods of time, and using electroconvulsive therapy to erase memories.<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>Here is the interesting comment:<br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>Sounds like a Scientology tract<br><br>This article is suspicious, especially the parts about children and electroconvulsive therapy. The ideas here are identical to those in Scientology. Are there any Internet references, or any other books?
