There are quite a number of books written by people who claim to be a victim of these experiments, and while not all credible, others cannot be ignored. Because induced amnesia is part of the process, such accounts are often fragmented into bits and pieces of memories, and this is also the case here.
Bain makes an effort at remaining objective, despite personally knowing the couple. He reconstructed Candy's story based on scores of tape recordings of the sessions, and gives sincere and accurate descriptions of hypnosis. This story was thought-provoking to the degree that it inspired me to write my own fictional series of a woman with multiple personalities under the influence of mind control by a government agency.

One of the best things about conspiracy theory is that it is generally interesting. It may be crazy. It may make you doubt your own sanity as you read it why yes, there IS something lizard-like about the British Royal family. Never has conspiracy theory been more boring than it is in the hands of Donald Bain.

He seems a competent enough writer, so the perhaps the problem lies not with his skill as a teller of odd or improbable tales, but rather the material he was given to work with.
If conspiracy theory is to be offered with not even the slightest amount of proof other than the hypnotically induced memories of someone claiming CIA-connections, then it needs to have an element of the outrageous in it. Black helicopters. Lizard people.
A vast international conspiracy of bankers and politicians who have sex orgies in between attempts to take over the world. Anything more than a weird man who hypnotizes his equally weird wife and TA-DA! She was controlled by the CIA because, you know, she says she was.
I can't help but think this story and Confessions of a Dangerous Mind are so very closely linked. But the training techniques and the double life, well, it mirrors many facets of this book.
This is a woman who used her strengths to overcome some tough times. But the things she did for a paycheck! Well, I think if I were her husband John, I would have run for the hills. But he decided to crack the programming the CIA h I can't help but think this story and Confessions of a Dangerous Mind are so very closely linked. But he decided to crack the programming the CIA had done to her and spend hundreds of hours in hypnotherapy hearing about heinous crimes his wife had pulled.
And he still stuck by her. I'd be afraid to turn out the light at the end of the day. True story? Who knows. I don't doubt it's possible. Jul 29, Tony Calder rated it it was ok Shelves: history. The CIA has admitted to experiments with hypnosis and mind-affecting drugs as methods of mind control, so at least the basis of this book could be factual. But what we are presented with is a series of revelations taken from tape recordings made by John Nebel while he attempted to cure his wife's insomnia through hypnosis.
John Nebel was a late night talk radio DJ, someone with no training in hypno-therapy, so what confidence can we have that the revelations are accurate? Donald Bain even states The CIA has admitted to experiments with hypnosis and mind-affecting drugs as methods of mind control, so at least the basis of this book could be factual.
Donald Bain even states that to have tried to investigate any of this independently would have required a separate book. As to the writing of the book, it's not bad, but it is somewhat repetitive and overlong. May 16, Erica Leigh rated it it was ok Shelves: , non-fiction. I mostly just feel bad for her. She was obviously very troubled and fragile, and it seems like everyone took advantage of that—even her husband whyyy did he think hypnotizing her was a good idea.
Also: the CIA is sketchy as hell, but you knew that already. Oct 14, Andy rated it it was amazing. I was digging through some old reports of her husbands radio show and came across the story in this book.
This is the earliest reports of CIA mind control and this one might actually be real. Feb 02, Julieta Steyr rated it really liked it. It is an interesting book. However the methods described are known, although most of those who tell such methods are treated like crazy. Oct 10, Michael Lenker added it. Have not read it all, but this seems like a predecessor or inspiration for Trance Formation of America by Cathy O'Brien, which has a similar premise but lots or lurid and sometime implausible details.
May 15, Dominique rated it liked it. I don't know how believable I find all of this, but it was entertaining nonetheless. May 25, A. The way that this book was written made it uncompelling to me. I get that they had to hypnotize her to get their story, but it would have been more interesting if they made that into a coherent narrative. Honestly, this book came across to me as fairly misogynist given the intense focus on the men in the story and how they had to manipulate her to get these tales out of her.

It was really bewildering and seemed really unimportant other than to emphasize the control that the husband has over his wife. Must be a residual effect of the s. This made reading this book rather upsetting because I really wanted to like it given the insanity that has been the life of Candy Jones.
Eventually, Candy was tortured at CIA headquarters, so that her doctor could display her "successful" programming. The Control of Candy Jones book. Candy Jones was the stage name of Jessica Wilcox b. When I first picked up a copy of The CIA's Control of Candy Jones, by Donald Bain, I thought it was a work of though the back of the book suggested otherwise, the plot seemed just too bizarre to be true.
In the s and s she was a leading model and pin up girl, and afterwards established a modeling school and. The result of these sessions was that Nebel discovered his wife had been brainwashed into have a second identity, "Arlene," whom a CIA doctor had used to carry messages all over the world.
Eventually, Candy was tortured at CIA headquarters, so that her doctor could display her "successful" programming. After reportedly being suppressed by the CIA, it became an instant classic, and remains so today. Disturbing but important By Discerning Eye Easy reading. Clearly and concisely details the sinister mind control programs of the CIA.
Candy Jones' "handler," a CIA "doctor" who uses her as a guinea pig in CIA mind control experiments, is a psychopath who tortures her as if she is simply an object in his experiments. This man most likely was an offshot of the "doctors" who were smuggled into the USA in Operation Paperclip, the program which got the "important" Nazis out of Germany and brought them over here.
Important reading for anyone who wants to know the sick and sadistic hidden influences which affect the country. You couldn't make this stuff up. Bain's writing is excellent, as usual. Interested in Mind Control?
By Scott H. It is a great book for many reasons. First, if you have read the likes of Brice Taylor or Kathleen Sullivan, both victims of mind control that involved lots of torture as well, this is different. Candy was limited to deep drug induced hypnosis exclusively, as far as I can tell. As a result, she had only 2 primary personalities, rather than hundreds.
Most remarkable is how her personality split, with her innocent consciousness unaware and un-bothered. Her secret alternate took on the rough crude hardened personality that enabled Candy to survive. Some fascinating psychology revealed in this tale. One very interesting result. Her programmer turned out to be the same one who programmed Sirhan Sirhan, who has long been alleged to have been mind controlled when he killed allegedly RFK.
