The problem with affording these guys the omnipotence of puppetmasters is the disconnect between real world events and the creative speculation. Waterboarding for example? If a prisoner was thought to have valuable information, why waterboard them? Why not use the technology of MC?

The research possibly continued in the same way extraordinary rendition side-stepped domestic and international laws against torture. The question is how successful has it been?
Another important question - that requires much less speculation - is why so many of the IC personnel contradict one another on such matters. They also cultivate the very conspiracy they at other times claim to oppose, as GUT showed us in the Weinberger interview.[...]I think that's relevant in and of itself.
Perhaps the most interesting pieces of evidence surrounding the abduction phenomenon are the intracerebral implants allegedly visible in the X-rays and MRI scans of many abductees.23 Indeed, abductees often describe operations in which needles are inserted into the brain; more frequently still, they report implantation of foreign objects through the sinus cavities. Many abduction specialists assume that these intracranial incursions must be the handiwork of scientists from the stars. Unfortunately, these researchers have failed to familiarize themselves with certain little-heralded advances in terrestrial technology.
The abductees' implants strongly suggest a technological lineage which can be traced to a device known as a "stimoceiver," invented in the late '50s-early '60s by a neuroscientist named Jose Delgado. The stimoceiver is a miniature depth electrode which can receive and transmit electronic signals over FM radio waves. By stimulating a correctly-positioned stimoceiver, an outside operator can wield a surprising degree of control over the subject's responses.
The most famous example of the stimoceiver in action occurred in a Madrid bull ring. Delgado "wired" the bull before stepping into the ring, entirely unprotected. Furious for gore, the bull charged toward the doctor - then stopped, just before reaching him. The technician-turned-toreador had halted the animal by simply pushing a button on a black box, held in the hand.24
In a fascinating series of experiments, Delgado attached the stimoceiver to the tympanic membrane, thereby transforming the ear into a sort of microphone. An assistant would whisper "How are you?" into the ear of a suitably "fixed" cat, and Delgado could hear the words over a loudspeaker in the next room. The application of this technology to the spy trade should be readily apparent. According to Victor Marchetti, The Agency once attempted a highly-sophisticated extension of this basic idea, in which radio implants were attached to a cat's cochlea, to facilitate the pinpointing of specific conversations, freed from extraneous surrounding noises.31 Such "advances" exacerbate the already-imposing level of Twentieth-Century paranoia: Not only can our phones be tapped and mail checked, but even tabby may be spying on us!
One of the primary goals of BLUEBIRD, ARTICHOKE, and MKULTRA was to determine whether mind control could be used to faciliate "executive action" - i.e., assassination.

There's little doubt that the business of gathering intelligence continues to be a murky business and ethics are something for other people to worry about. At the same time, I can appreciate the mind-set that deems ethics a luxury when they have a focus on serious threats to national security.
...Other questions raised by controlling the mind: How can we make people trust us more? What if we could help the brain to remove fear or pain? Is there a way to make the enemy obey our commands?
...There is little doubt that great progress has been made over the last quarter century, particularly the last 10 to 15 years, in understanding the physiological and neural bases for psychological processes and behavior. Furthermore, there is a high likelihood that more progress will be made as more sophisticated theoretical models are developed and tested using ever more sophisticated assessment technology.
The label “cognitive” in the title and elsewhere in this report is used in the broad sense. Unless otherwise noted, it refers to the cognitive sciences in general and comprises psychological and physiological processes underlying human information processing, emotion, motivation, social influence, and development. It includes contributions from all directly related disciplines, including the behavioral and social sciences, neurogenetics, proteomics, philosophy, mathematics, computer science, and linguistics.
True and False Memories as an Illustrative Case of the Difficulty of Developing Accurate and Practical Neurophysiological Indexes of Psychological States
An important issue for cognitive neuroscientists concerns efforts to determine whether a person is reporting a true experience or one that is false but believed. In the last decade, there have been innumerable research efforts designed to distinguish true from false memories. Earlier work examining behavioral differences between true and false memories revealed that group differences were sometimes found (for example, more sensory details in true-memory reports) (Schooler et al., 1986). However, the statistical group differences did not enable reliable classification of any particular memory report as to its authenticity...
While in New York, Olson also met with John Mullholland, a CIA-employed magician. When Mullholland attempted to hypnotize Olson, the latter grew upset. He pleaded with them all to “just let me disappear.” ...The CIA had an entirely different trick up its sleeve and shortly thereafter, Frank Olson plunged to his death from his hotel window.

Stubblebine, Alexander, Buchanan, Jones - the list goes on. But here's where I'm headed with all this and what it might ultimately tell us about all of our expectations, or lack thereof, of the UFO community: Why don't we collectively, as a community, hold these people more accountable for not getting on the same stage at the same time?
And if that is the case and is what the collective UFO community thinks about aliens, conspiracies and cover-ups, does that mean the majority would rather keep it all on a superficial level of entertainment, anyway, and never really get to the messy truth?

Regarding the Polish case, we see that rendition was used and procedures that are, by definition, torture. However, the detail of threatening detainees with power drills is what I was mulling over. It's not in the same ballpark as the concept that MC is at a stage of full control of someone's thoughts. There's an idea in the field that Intel can implant memories, create whole-sale scenarios and orchestrate events with panache. These known, current incidents suggest otherwise.

I was surprised when my search for answers to many of the great modern ufo cases would frequently point to factions of the intelligence community actively promoting ET mythology.

Of course, no one theory applies to all cases, but as an overlay, the Psyops/UFO arena has a lot of contours that consistently match up to the landscape of the modern era from the scattered & mist-shrouded remains of the distant Roswell plain and pretty much to this day.

...There's no getting around it... The IC has been neck deep in alleged ET stories since the outset of the modern UFO era. I'm currently reading George Hansen's 'The Trickster and the Paranormal', and he has a chapter on gov disinfo in which he stated that it is truly remarkable how widely that factor is ignored.
It really is.
...I learned something I think is important yet widely eludes the average UFO enthusiast: Researchers within genres that overlap with ufology, such as the Cold War and conspiracies of historical significance, tend to hold much more complete and accurate perspectives of the IC – and its specific players – than do their ufology counterparts. People who research and write about Cold War secrets often demonstrate thorough understandings of complex dynamics involving members of the IC who played roles in ufology. Such researchers tend to understand the potential relevance of such circumstances more than seems to be the case among members of the UFO community.
Ufologists (who fail to account for Cold War relevance), if they broach the subject of the IC at all, tend to focus on relatively trivial and often hypothetical circumstances, as compared to forming wider and more practical contexts. Many of them seemingly automatically and prematurely equate the IC activity in ufology with confirmation of an alien presence. Seldom are deeper implications and evolving objectives of intelligence agencies from one era to the next taken into account. The UFO community and its researchers rarely consider the overall careers of intelligence officers who moonlight as ufologists, as compared to focusing virtually solely upon their UFO-related activities. All of that is the case in spite of the wide availability of factual material that could provide deeper insight. To ignore such material is detrimental to accurate reporting and counterproductive to identifying truth.

I've been slowly working through checking out links to individuals involved in the GB6 incident. I came across this piece about William Setterberg on google news;
news.google.com...
I also found reference to one Michael Hueckstaedt working as a Deputy Patrol Officer somewhere in Wyoming, and a comment by a person of that name, on a page about hostage negotiations...It seems an uncommon name, although I don't know if they are one and the same.
As for Kris Perlock, amusingly enough, there is someone of the same name working as a 'Bigfoot Investigator'. I wonder if it's the same Kris Perlock?
