also on youtube if you can't watch it online via 4oD

can you brainwash/hypnotise someone to commit murder?

well they used to do it centuries ago, the word "assassin" actually comes from the word "hashish", as they would drug them up good on hashish, for long periods, and try to brainwash them to carry out assassinations. but Sirhan Sirha is hard to believe to be hypnotized to murder RFK. I think he was a patsy, frankly.

[Howlin Mad Missy]

he claims to have no memory of it and they keep turning down his parole, one of the reasons is not showing remorse. Hard to show remorse for something you can't remember doing.

Clever tv programme, watch it if you can. It's very interesting because many if not all hypnotists claim that they can't make you do anything you wouldnt do in a waking state.

It also challenges the notion of memory, we've all day dreamed and wandered past where we were meant to be / drivers do this all the time, and have no recollection of how they go there.

A guy I went to sschool with in the late 80s was a hypnotist and he said exactly that: you can't get someone to do something they wouldn't normally do while awake. Yes how can he show remorse if he cannot recall it, exactly. He must have principles then, or he'd simply feign the remorse to get out.

Interesting.

Kidnapped and reprogrammed to do something could work I suppose, over a long length of time

Look at Manson and his troupe I cant remember exactly but I dont think he killed anyone and they did all his deeds for him willingly.
They believed in what they were doing; but I Imagine guilt could block out some prior forced actions if it was against your grain, like shock does.

highly sugestiable person.
they imbedded a firing range state
imbedded a trigger
imbedded memory loss

the subject here said he imagined/thought he was back at the firing range when he stood up and 'shot' the celeb.

Sirhan also claimed to have periods of memory loss prior to the shooting of RFK.
