Jason Bourne, the Winter Soldier, and the guy in American Ultra were all put through government mind-control programs and given intensive training to be super soldiers and assassins. They demonstrate great skill and quick thinking. This flattering portrayal is meant to make the audience think that the government mind-control programs work nicely, that they are effective at providing formidable operatives who can be of great service to the public if harnessed correctly. But if we really had operatives like that, would we have lost in Afghanistan?
The truth is that the victims of government mind-control programs are not improved, they are damaged. For real missions that require a skilled killer, such as the assassination of a foreign military leader, the government wouldn’t use an MK Ultra wind-up toy. They’d just use a military sniper. The wind-up toys are unreliable and not used for sincere missions. They’re used for psy ops, such as mass shootings in America. Their conditioning wasn’t to make them more accurate shooters, it was just to make them willing shooters of random people. They weren’t trained to be fearless in the face of a foreign enemy, they were trained not to care about their own lives. The purpose of the MK Ultra wind-up toys is not for them to be secretly successful warriors, it’s for them to be public failures. It’s to demoralize the public by association, and to push political goals such as gun control. Normal people who value freedom and the first two amendments don’t want to be associated with Jared Lee Loughner, James Holmes, Dylann Roof, or Payton Gendron. None of these people were used for military operations, just for psy ops. All of them had previously been known by the deep state, had been using drugs, and had been handled by psychiatric “professionals”. Now they’re all broken and ruined, and none of them will be conducting a Jason Bourne-like mission of recovering his identity and taking down the deep state agency that pushed him too far.
I agree, but I think MK Ultra (by which I mean the programs that inherited its legacy, I doubt that MK Ultra itself is still running) is not just one thing. It's not just training Manchurian Candidates and supersoldiers, which is a psyop term anyhow. I think they have different versions, some of which are used on pencil pushers for the deep state, people who work for deep black programs and the such, so that they don't blab, they really have a distorted idea of what they're doing for a living. Some versions are used on the masses via television and internet. And some versions are definitely used to create sex slaves. These are some of the unhappiest people in the world, but they are admired and emulated.
Anyhow, yes, i think they started the program with a fantasy of creating supersoldiers but ended up finding a lot of things they enjoyed doing along the way, like playing with sex slaves and honeytraps. The whole shitshow allowed the Mafia to penetrate the CIA and vice (lol) versa. I think if we could read the real histories we'd see how central the mind control project was in the 20th century, it's just that we still see Abstract Expressionism, Playboy Mansion, LSD, the counterculture, moon landings, Disney World, UFOs, and wokeism as totally distinct phenomena when they're all just sides of MK Ultra.
Yes, there are acute cases such as individual wind-up toys, and general cases, such as the mass propaganda pumped out to all of us. Whether its shooters, sex kittens, or vaxxer NPCs, all of the victims are damaged and made weaker, not stronger.
