Trowbridge H. Ford Wrote:Of course, the much more relevant experience is that of John Gittinger who explained away the operational use of quick induction hypnosis on apparently LHO in July 1963 in that Mexico City motel room. Gittinger, the protégé of Sid Gottlieb, was the Oklahoma psychologist who made "...a hard science out of personality assessment and how to use it to maniuplate people." (pp. 1920.)
Please read the paragraph above with the utmost care. Note how a wholly subjective conclusion is attached to a citation (Ford should have placed a hyphen between 19 and 20; he can't even get his own reference correct, but I quibble).
In doing so, Ford is trying to suggest that his unsubstantiated and, in light of all that we know of the events in question, indefensible contention is shared and documented by a respected and accomplished author.
This is the stuff of disinformation and/or self-hypnosis. It is not serious research, and it must not be confused with serious research. It is dangerous nonsense.
Trowbridge H. Ford Wrote:Why Gittinger accepted to be interviewed by Marks was that he had to explain away the test on Oswald or there might be all hell to pay if the author just used the files on his own. (See the very last paragraph in the notes on p. 244 which recorded Gittinger's change of mind.)
Please read the paragraph above with the utmost care. Ask yourself: WHAT "TEST ON OSWALD?" No such event has been established via objective research. Ford here attempts to misdirect us by describing his fantasy as established fact.
This is the stuff of disinformation and/or self-hypnosis.
Trowbridge H. Ford Wrote:Why this was not successful was because LHO, it seems, refused to be hypnotized despite his so wanting the money because he was not willing to shoot JFK.
Please read the above paragraph with the utmost care. It consists of pure fantasy. Nothing more, nothing less. And Ford's language again would have us believe that somehow, somewhere, the LHO hypnosis session which he references actually took place and actually has been documented.
This is the stuff of disinformation and/or self-hypnosis.

Please read ... well, you get the picture.
Circular reasoning, appeals to authority, all the stuff of disinformation and/or self-hypnosis. Be it 23 references or 2300, Ford has demonstrated time and time again that he will attach his fantasies to the hard research of others in order to deceive his readers into thinking that the product of his own disinformation and/or self-hypnosis is supported elsewhere.
Trowbridge H. Ford Wrote:Case closed.
At least you got that right, Ford.
