@shortstories cool info
I am sorry I thought some of the books I posted were free at archive dot org but they only put in parts of the book
However I have found most of those books for free at libraries in the past except rape of the mind by meerloo but I thought I found it for free on the internet one day after searching for it in libraries and being unable to find it when searching because Ted Patrick mentioned corresponding with Meerloo
I posted them because they relate to communist brainwashing

@shortstories it looks like everyone was doing MK Ultra stuff.
Two Steven Hassan books give an overview of numerous studies on brainwashing and I tried to go backwards through lots of the old literature he mentioned but I could not find anything new and unique that he did not cover in the big picture
Some other books might go into more detail on narrow things but I have read thousands of pages of books on brainwashing and think two of Hassan books are the best starting place
He made two editions of each of his two books so it looks like four
@shortstories it's good to read just to get a different perspective.
