Take a card, any card. In most cases he will not suspect its extraneous
origin. that is the run of the mill newspaper reader who receives the
scrambled message uncritically and assumes that it reflects his own opinions
independently arrived at. On the other other hand, the subject may recognise
or suspect the extraneous origins of voices that are literally hatching out
in his head. Then we have a classic syndrome of paranoid psychosis.
Subject hears voices. Anyone can be made to hear voices with scrambling
techniques. It is not difficult to expose him to the actual scrambled
message, any part of which can be made intelligible. This can be done with
street recorders, recorders in cars, doctored radio and TV sets. In his own
flat if possible, if not in some bar or restaurant he frequents. If he
doesn't talk to himself, he soon will do. You bug his flat. Now he is really
round the bend hearing his own voice out of radio and TV broadcasts and the
conversation of passing strangers. See how easy it is? Remember the
scrambled message is partially unintelligible and in any case he gets the
tone. Hostile white voices unscrambled by a Negro will also activate by
association every occasion on which he has been threatened or humiliated by
whites. To carry it further you can use recordings of voices known to him.
You can turn him against his friends by hostile scrambled messages in a
friend's voice. This will activate ll his disagreements with that friend.
You can condition him to like his enemies by friendly scrambled messages in
enemy voices.

On the other hand the voices can be friendly and reassuring. He is now
working for the CIA, the GPU, or whatever, and these are his orders. They now
have an agent who has no information to give away and who doesn't have to be
paid. and he is now completely under control. If he doesn't obey orders they
can give him the hostile voice treatment. No, "They" are not God or super
technicians from outer space. Just technicians operating with well-known
equipment and using techniques that can be duplicated by anyone else who can
buy and operate this equipment.

To see how scrambling technique could work on a a mass scale, imagine
that a news magazine like TIME got out a whole issue a week before
publication and filled it with news based on predictions following a certain
line, without attempting the impossible, giving our boys a boost in every
story and the Commies as many defeats and casualties as possible, a whole new
issue of TIME formed from slanted prediction of future news. Now imagine this
scrambled out through the mass media.

With minimal equipment you can do the same thing on a smaller scale. You
need a scrambling device, TV, radio, two video cameras, a ham radio station
and a simple photo studio with a few props and actors. For a start you
scramble the news all together and spit it out every which way on ham radio
and street recorders. You construct fake news broadcasts on video camera.
For the pictures you can use mostly old footage. Mexico City will do for
a riot in Saigon Chile you can use the Londonderry pictures. Nobody knows
the difference. Fires, earthquakes, plane crashes can be moved around. for
