Some researchers have argued that while presenting itself as another drug study program, MK-OFTEN was in fact a campaign to weaponize the occult.
And I would argue — with the utmost conviction — that we are just now suffering the final fruits of the poison seeds planted three generations ago by these sorcerers, not only in the complete collapse of culture and community, but also the growing soul-deadness and near-paralytic ennui amongst our young people.
I’m seeing it more and more: younger people keep making videos about how nothing feels real anymore, how everything feels hollow and meaningless, and they can’t figure out what to do about it.
To me, these sound like the same kinds of complaints you hear from speedfreaks or habitual LSD abusers long past the honeymoon phase, or that I remembering hearing from the over-stimulated in the waning days of the original hardcore punk movement.
I’ve been saying this for years: the usual end-result of battering your mind, body and spirit with darkness and hyper-stimulation isn’t rampaging psychosis, but a soul-dead stasis and an inability to feel much of anything at all.
And in this case, it’s not just the neurochemical effects of scrolling and streaming, it’s also the content they’re scrolling and streaming, too much of which is honest-to-God sorcery.
Is that to say there aren’t other influences at work? Of course not.
What I’m saying is that what we are looking at here was a targeted strike at the spiritual immune system of humanity, one that unfolded over six decades. One that made us vulnerable to all the other attacks that came our way.
And if we’re to restore that immune system, we need to fully understand its vulnerabilities, and how they’re exploited.
So let’s look at what I believe was the start of a sorcerous assault on the body politic that ultimately led us to this unhappy turn of events…
OFTEN’s actual documentation may be scanty, but if you look at the culture at large, its hoofprints are stamped deep into society’s face.
The British journalist Gordon Thomas — who made his bones when he was given inside access to the Mossad — brought MK-OFTEN into the mainstream in his 2007 book on CIA mind control, Secrets and Lies.
Operation Often was also initiated by the chief of the CIA’s Technical Services Branch, Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, to “explore the world of black magic” and “harness the forces of darkness and challenge the concept that the inner reaches of the mind are beyond reach”.
As part of Operation Often, Dr. Gottlieb and other CIA employees visited with and recruited fortune-tellers, palm-readers, clairvoyants, astrologers, mediums, psychics, specialists in demonology, witches and wizards, Satanists, other occult practitioners, and more.
Gottlieb, of course, was known by his fellow CIA agents as “The Black Sorcerer.”
1966 not only saw the kickoff of Project MKOFTEN, but also the beginning of a major paradigm shift, not only in the conduct of psychological warfare but the tone and content of the overall culture as well.
