‘The Catcher in the Rye Enigma’ reveals substance of certain declassified CIA documents
The revelation that a phrasing technique used in our novel The Ninth Orphan is based on declassified CIA documents is revealed to readers in our book The Catcher in the Rye Enigma, co-authored by James Morcan and I.
The actual phrase we use is the names of the planets “Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto.” When subjects hear or read those words in precisely that order, they immediately fall into a hypnotized state, having been programmed under a CIA mind control initiative codenamed MK-Ultra.
Far-fetched? We thought so until we learned that MK-Ultra is, or was, real. The declassified documents show that it gives handlers total control over their charges, forcing them to do anything – even kill.
In ‘The Catcher in the Rye Enigma’, book four in our contentious ‘Underground Knowledge Series’, we inform readers that the aforementioned phrasing technique is only one of many techniques used, but it’s one that crops up again and again in the documented evidence of successful mind control experiments.
As alluded to by our book’s subtitle J.D. Salinger’s Mind Control Triggering Device or a Coincidental Literary Obsession of Criminals?, it’s suggested by some that Salinger and/or his publisher craftily implanted into his bestseller The Catcher in the Rye neurolinguistic passages or coded messages that act as post-hypnotic suggestions or mind control triggers. In turn, these triggers enabled CIA handlers to activate Manchurian Candidates for assassinations.
Some conspiracy theorists believe the novel was part of the CIA’s now mostly declassified mind control program MK-Ultra, and that while assassins were being brainwashed they were forced to read the book over and over until it was embedded in their minds.
Accepting for a moment that Salinger’s ‘Catcher’ is such a triggering device, it would likely set off MK-Ultra subjects by having carefully phrased words in strategic parts of the book. Nobody outside of the sleeper assassins and their intelligence agency handlers would be able to recognize such phrases as being abnormal, especially if crafted by such a skillful writer as Salinger.

It’s only fitting that Salinger should have the last word. Here’s a quote of his from The Catcher in the Rye:
“It’s funny. All you have to do is say something nobody understands and they’ll do practically anything you want them to.”
