Oh I can also make a well based claim that mind control is reality. It has been researched intensively by various intelligence agencies after Cardinal Mindszenty's trial in hungary 1948. It was supposed by foreign intelligences that Soviets had Cardinal's assistant brainwashed so that he told obvious lies about Cardinal, and therefore helped him to get arrested. Later Mindszenty himself was brainwashed and he admitted of being guilty in all the crimas that he have been blamed upon.
If it has been researched so vastly after that (and before, no doubt), there must nowadays be more sophisticated brainwash methods.. An effective results can be achieved by drug and sensory deprivation combination, white noise to the ears (I suppose this must be 440Mz or something, could be wrong) makes a person pretty bendable. Although it is highly individual what the effects are, but it seems to be working on most of people.
The real Manchurian Canditate was - according to Dominique Streatfeild - a series of events that took place in post-war denmark in 1951. Palle Hadrup robbed bank under what was believed to be hypnosis, and the tracks to his hypnotizer lead to his personal friend Bjorn Nielsen; Nielsen had hypnotized Hadrup during their mutual prison sentences - partly served in same cell after Hadrup requested for it. Nielsen used combination of Yoga and Hypnosis to mold Hadrup to fit the task ahead. It is unclear where Nielsen needed the money, but Hadrup willingly gave his personal wealth to Nielsen, as well as later married a woman that Nielsen later had sex with (front of Hadrup's eyes) and also committed bank robberies.
When later Hadrup got caught due the busted bank robbery(where he murdered people), he didn't confess anything. But danish psychiatrist Dr. Max Schmidt had interest in case as murders were uncommon in Denmark back then - So he hypnotized Hadrup, and after breaking down the clever defences that Nielsen had installed in Hadrups mind, he confessed everything. He told the doctor while being hypnotized all that Nielsen had done, how he poses to be Hadrup's guardian angel and messenger to God. And Hadrup bought all that and did whatever Nielsen wanted.
So, all in all, mind control is out there, but I guess some people are more sensitive to it than others. Just watch out who you have Yoga with
