Speaker 1 (00:14):
What if everything we see on our screen, TV screen,
the music, videos, movies, TV shows are just a little
more than just entertainment. What if they're portals used to
manipulate our minds, to warp our perceptions, maybe even you know,

(00:35):
mind control us and open doors to the occult. Well,
from MC ultra experiments to demonic possession, We're gonna look
a little bit into the mind control and medium manipulation
that's working together to influence not just our thoughts, but
try to get to our very souls. Well, Hello everybody,

(00:57):
This is Jim Duke Perspective. Website is Jimdukeperspective dot com. Again,
I'm coming to you on my portable device. I think
I'm narrowing down the final stages of my studio rebuild.
It's been a monotonous almost three months in the process

(01:17):
due to having to work after my full time job
to get this done, which meant I don't have a
lot of time to do anything else, and I've been
trying to get it done as much as possible. But
I think I'm coming down to the end stages where
I'll be able to produce out of there again, hopefully
by next episode, but for now, we have to deal

(01:40):
with the degraded quality, so bear with me. Thank you
for being patient. So there's a dark legacy of mk Ultra,
the CIA's infamous mind control experiments. We can go into
the root of it, but just to give you a

(02:01):
base basis of it, mk Ultra was a program that
was adopted from the German soldiers that were Nazi soldiers
that were drafted here under Operation paper Clip, and they
were given false identities or alternative names so they can

(02:22):
go stealth and continue their experiments under the United States.
For more on the details of their history, go into
look at my podcast on mk Ultra on the history
and I won't go into it now, but it'll give
you a briefing on what mk ultra was all about.

(02:44):
But the CIA had learned techniques that found its way
into the media, entertainment, and even spiritual realm. So we're
going to look at some of the psychological tools that
may be used to control and manipulate not just of mind,
but also a spiritual essence of individuals, leading to possible

(03:04):
demonic possession and influence. And we there's often a connection
with government dark experiments like mk ULTRA and the demonic
and the occult. So these things are they go hand
in hand because there's a lot of ritual abuse tied

(03:25):
into this. That's where they go. You know, why not
when you're doing experiments on fragmenting people's minds, why not
get involved in the occult and use satanic ritual abuse
along the way. But again, mk Ultra was a CIA
led program that began in the early fifties and designed

(03:46):
to explore the possibilities of mind control using drugs, drug hypnosis,
and other psychological and even biological techniques. It was shut
down officially that we tell are told in the nineteen seventies,
but the lasting effects are still felt and I don't

(04:08):
believe it ever totally dismissed or disband it because they
aren't going to take that technology and just throw it away.
It morphed into other programs. There's other mind control programs
like monarch programming and such. But this is the root
of it, so we're going to address it from this aspect.

(04:30):
But it was founded on the belief that it's possible
to break down a person's mind and then rebuild it,
essentially creating super soldiers or even creating altered personalities within
the same brain that act as a different brain. It

(04:51):
actually takes the same brain, but it functions differently, creating
an alter it's called an alter or alter ego, but
it's actually not the same person. It creates its own
personality on using the same mind, fragmented mind and such,
and that mind could be used for certain techniques while

(05:13):
suppressing the core person's true nature, hiding his true identity
from himself. Basically, it's traumatizing the true nature of the
self so that it goes into a fight or flight
mode where an alternate personality takes over to deal with

(05:35):
the oppression or the suppression of that trauma based mind.
And then they can influence codes, messages, and they used
to use it to send across different places where the
person didn't know he was carrying information until his mind
was triggered to let loose of the core person that

(05:58):
had the information. Really kind of odd psychological stuff, and
all these movies that you see about the psychological programming
that are hinting to this stuff was actually based on this.
But there was a range of techniques including LSD use.
It's primarily why LSD was used. They were at first

(06:23):
using it for a truth serum, but then realize it
can alter the mind, and they started using it to
help alter the mind, and then it trickled into the
college scene and then the society. They mastered in sleep
deprivation to get the person totally fragmented, electro shock therapy.
So that's the physical aspects and then psychological abuse. I

(06:46):
know people that were under these kind of experiments who
said the handler would take them into a room and
put their head in dunk it in hot and cold
water simultaneous, or you know, not simultaneously, but alternate one
to another cold water, hot water, cold water, hot water,

(07:07):
and they would also get shock therapy from batteries. They
would have batteries plugged into the person and the person
would get shocked from that and it would kind of
shocked the mind. They believed that it was to fragment
the minds that the mind became stronger, and then these
people were sent out to do with certain missions. But

(07:30):
I've also had testimonies of people saying that in another
room they went into and they saw people dressed in
satanic robes doing rituals over them, and all the meanwhile,
they were supposed to be at a daycare or a
childcare facility where their parents let these handlers do whatever
they wanted or what they would do, probably not realizing

(07:54):
the extreme, but sometimes they do. Sometimes they give up
their children for these It's a whole different story of abuse.
I don't want to get into. There's a lot of
people that listen to the show that were affected by this,
so I want to be careful and sensitive to that.
But outside of that, it was said that they used

(08:18):
unwitting subjects, including prisoners, mentally ill patients, and innocent civilians.
There was hookers, you know, prostitutes that were used. There
were johns that were used, there were mentally you know,
homeless people that were used. Anybody that can use to

(08:39):
get away with it, targeted without consent, and the goal
wasn't just to control them. It was to create a
systematic form of psychological manipulation that could be used for
political or military purposes. But what if this technology of
mind control bled into the entertainment world and now being
used on the mass scale for people listening, Well, there

(09:06):
is knowledge that these same tactics were used of MK
Ultra employed through media, entertainment and advertising to control the masses,
or even to control the advertising you know, there's a
reason why your ads use subliminal messages and little little
like like lights flashing lights and capturing your eyes, sometimes subliminally,

(09:38):
sometimes subconsciously, having little phrases and audio sequences in there
that you know, it was said that at the movies
there was every like what's a movie twenty four frames
per second or whatever. Every second they would put a
frame in there that would have another message that people

(10:02):
wouldn't even see because it was subliminal, and they banned it.
Since then, they say, but it would say like it
would urge them to go to the concession stand, like
you're hungry, You're hungry, want some popcorn? Want, And it
was a way to advertise to get them to see things.
But they realized that even using colors to trigger people
to buying compulsions and things like that were very beneficial

(10:26):
to the advertising agencies. So this kind of knowledge was
used for that. And that's bad enough, but when it's
you know, it's designed to evoke certain emotions and subliminate,
subliminally influence us, even through music, videos and movies. And

(10:48):
you know, how often do we see certain symbols and
gestures and imagery that are tied to the occult or
mind control programming. I remember that they should frames of
a soccer game in Europe and if you look subliminally,
they had the all seeing eye pyramid flashing. You couldn't

(11:09):
see it when you watch the sports event, but when
you slowed it down to capture the frames you'd see
in there it would show. It says the Illuminatis here
and things like that, And you wonder if they're just
doing to play with us, or if it's the Illuminati
trying to make people aware so subliminally they would accept it.

(11:30):
I don't know, but it is tied into the Illuminati
and they occult and things like that. Who are usually
I don't know, at the top of the food chain
at some of these things. I'm not talking about jay Z.
He's a low bottom feeder. I'm talking about the handlers
and the programmers above him. But it's the shape thought
patterns and to control behavior. And what if they're doing

(11:53):
is on a larger scale, to try to numb us,
try to subdue us, try to melt our brains, you know,
and they've done that. We have proof of that. Look
at society, I mean, come on, look at most people
in a fog most of the time. But there's examples

(12:14):
of mind control in pop culture. Look at the celebrities
have came forward that were affected by mind control. People
like you know, performers like Britney Spears broke out a
character and she started talking and like talking to herself
in an interview. I remember, you know, it's kind of
sad watching she all of a sudden talked to her

(12:36):
all to ego and said, oh, Hi, how are you. Oh,
I'm fine, what's going on here? And you know you've
seen Kanye West breakdown. And there's others that have come forth,
and you know, Beyonce, Katy Perry. Katy Perry said I

(12:58):
want to I don't want to be this character they
built me. And they say these are a result of
the mind control programming. Some argue that these celebrities are
not acting out of their own will, but are instead
controlled puppets part of a much larger, darker agenda. Now,

(13:19):
remember that halftime Super Bowl halftime shows where there's ritualistic symbolism,
occult imagery, and subliminal messages just in them. They're often
used to influence audiences, and these performances seem designed to
push a certain narrative or theme, mostly satanic references to

(13:40):
promoting mindless consumerism and occult themes. And we see the
occult influence in the Music Society's Dark Horse Katy Perry's
little performance there where she had a witch stage set
up and it was pretty freaky. And they believe that

(14:03):
the music industry is filled with occult symbolism and mind
controlled tactics. Artists are often associated with the Illuminati and
mk ulture programming and other forms of spiritual or psychological manipulation.
We wonder could the beats, the lyrics, and the videos

(14:25):
be tapping into demonic or occult forces to try to
influence spiritually the people that are watching, or viewing or listening.
Crosby Stills Nash once made a comment. David Crosby said,
music is one way that you can hypnotize a whole
audience and put them under magic without them knowing it. Now,

(14:47):
whether or not you believe this has any effect on
you is one thing, but they believe it does. It's
a transfer of energy for them and they will use it.
And they if your mind is of an into that
you know who knows you may be subliminally manipulated by
these same spirits. I don't know, this is a spiritual realm.

(15:11):
There's examples of artists like Lady Gaga and Rihanna. They're
using mind control imagery and accused of doing witchcraft. Beyonce,
her drummer, came out and said Beyonce is doing witchcraft
on me, and they, you know, pushed it off and
I guess she got a restraining order. I don't know,

(15:31):
something like that, but it was crazy. There's also there's
also connection. I mentioned the merging into the monarch programming,
so you'll see a lot of symbolism of monarch butterflies
symbolizing monarch programming associated with the split personality programming. And
a lot of artists will say that they're one character

(15:56):
and then another character, like Beyonce said, I'm Sasha Fierce
no longer Beyonce, Beyonce is dead. Well, she took on
her alter, her ego as her persona. And then there's
demonic possession and spiritual influence. The link between mind control

(16:17):
and demonic possession. If we take a look at it
one step further. We know that mk Ultra was concerned
concerned with controlling the mind, but what if these method
methods are also opening up spiritual portals I call them
conduits to allow spirits invited through to manipulate the minds,

(16:42):
to lead to demonic possession and spiritual influence. It's not
just an ancient idea, it's a it's deeply tied to
mind control. Yes, in the past, you know, demon possession
seems to be something of the archaic world, the ancient world,
but today it's done in more of a technological psychological aspect.

(17:04):
It's psychological abuse, and it weakens the spiritual defenses that
leave people open to darker forces, especially if they open
their mind up to it and allow it. And they
do this through crystals and hypnotism and you know, summoning
or let's just say accepting a channel for information or

(17:26):
whatever you want to call it. These are all portals
that open up for spiritual possession. And you think that
you're controlling these beings, but these beings are actually in
turn controlling you. I have a friend Laura Maxwell, who
her and her mother experienced the demon possession when the demons.

(17:46):
They were controlling the demons. They thought until the demons
that they didn't do the bidding that the demons wanted,
and the demons went after them and sort of you know,
instigated their lives. Mother went into psychiatric trouble because of it.
Laura Maxwell became a Christian, so she understood what was
going on and came out of it. And you can

(18:08):
sever it by you know, the blood of Jesus Christ.
The name of Jesus Christ will cast out demons if
you're in Jesus, not if you just say his name.
But when we look into the deeper occult practice, as
many occultists believe that mind controlled techniques are not just
psychological but spiritual in nature, designed to open a person's

(18:32):
mind to spirits. Now, whether it's good spirits or bad spirits,
that's subjective. You know, they don't you know, they'll say
it's good spirits if that's what they want you to
believe in. But you'll notice that even people in Ricky
Ricky and all that other stuff shaman, they have to
word off bad spirits in case a bad spirit comes in. Now,

(18:54):
how do they know if one's bad or one's posing
is bad. They don't, But they feel that the protection
of one spirit over another gives them a little bit
of satisfaction. But they don't know if it's really you know,
it could be a more evil spirit posing as a
mild spirit and taking over the person unwittingly. There's certain

(19:18):
rituals and symbols and entertainment industry that serve as portals
opening up to dark influences ideas connected with broader concepts
of possession, where a person is no longer in control
of their own mind or body. Beyonce I mentioned she
said that when she's on stage, it's not her on stage,

(19:39):
it's Sasha Fierce. Somebody comes in into her and does
things that Beyonce wouldn't do. Her words, I can do
things that I don't know what I'm doing. Something else
is doing it for me, things I can't do as
my person. That's kind of a freaky. And then celebrity

(20:02):
rituals and spiritual influences. You hear about celebrities openly talking
about participating in rituals that appear to be connected with
demonic possession, whether it's drug use or ritual sacrifices, or
even symbolic acts during public performances even and these actions
play a part in the act or they open up

(20:25):
the influence of spiritual contacts with dark forces, and they
invite the viewer or the participant, the audience in whether
they know it or not, there could be a bigger agenda.
Why are they trying to control well, these forces, whether

(20:49):
they be government agencies or occult elites, they want to
control us through mind control and if possible, demonic influences.
Simple answer is they want to control us. And if
they believe that using dirtying the air with six sixty six,
you know, speaking things that dirty the air or influence

(21:12):
spiritual entities and become a conduit, whether they believe, whether
we want to believe it's active and possible, they believe
it is. So they conduct these rituals and subliminally try
to influence us with it. So either way we might
still be susceptible to some results of it. And if

(21:36):
you control their spirit, you control their soul. This isn't
just about manipulating people for political or financial gain. This
is spiritual warfare and the dark forces are using modern technologies, media,
psychological tactics to break down, you know, break people down

(21:56):
and take control of their very essence, and then you
have AI. There's a controversy whether that's spiritual, whether it
allows you to answer questions, and it is useful if
you use it the right way, but it's dangerous in
that if you rely on it, it starts manipulating you,

(22:18):
and you wonder if it's spiritually connecting you. Now, the
mass influence, there's a fight for freedom because as media
becomes more pervasive, mind control techniques become more sophisticated. It's
not just about keeping us entertained, it's about keeping us

(22:40):
spiritually bound and mentally enslaved. But the question is how
do we fight back this influence? How do we reclaim
control of our own minds and spiritual spirituality and freedom. Well,
first of all, awareness helps, but awareness isn't enough if
you don't have spiritual control. And that's why some of

(23:02):
us conform to Jesus Christ. Some of us realize that
we can't do this ourselves and that we need spiritual guidance,
spiritual help. So we rely on the Holy Spirit. And
Jesus Christ promises salvation but also promises freedom, that we
have the avenue to be free, not that we just

(23:23):
automatically are free or that we're it's just basically, okay,
you're a Christian. That's it. You're good. You still have
to fight the battlefield, but you have the weapons to
do it. You have the power to do it. It's
not a power of manipulation or a power of occult practice.
It's a power of overcoming the wickedness, overcoming the spiritual.

(23:48):
There's a verse for this. Ephesians six twelve says we
do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,
against spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places. And then
it tells us that we have armor to wear salvation,

(24:12):
helmet of salvation, and there's a breastplate of righteousness and faith,
and you know, ready to go out and trample with
the gospel. There's these weapons, the spiritual weapons that you
use for these spiritual attacks. So these are the defenses
I know as a Christian, but as a non Christian,

(24:33):
I don't know. Keep your mind clear, stay sober, don't
open up doors, don't open up portals. But you don't
have the spiritual protection unless you want to believe that
your belief system or your agnosticism or your atheism is
enough of a defense by itself. Well that's up to you.

(24:54):
But these people in the occult know how to subdue
that and control that. And it's not a guarantee anymore
than you might think that Christianity is a guarantee. So
I guess we're both at square one. But I choose
to follow Jesus Christ and have him fight my battles,
my spiritual battles, and I stand behind him. So there

(25:19):
is the aspects of this MK ultra and the spiritual significance.
