Gavin Nascimento
“As noted on Page 90 of the MKULTRA inspired KUBARK interrogation manual, 'sustained long enough, a strong fear of anything vague or unknown induces regression'. Whether that fear represents the possibility of being unemployed, being harassed daily for not complying, or a mutating virus, amongst other things, if 'sustained long enough' it begins to wear people down psychologically..”
Gavin Nascimento, A History of Elitism, World Government & Population Control

Sol Luckman
“The boundary between dreams and reality gets muddy
indeed when we consider the nature of our perceptions. Our senses, those windows to the world, are far from perfect instruments that are extremely susceptible to manipulation and misinterpretation. What we perceive as unquestionably solid and real could be nothing more than smoke and mirrors, projections of our own psyches.”
Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality
