At the height of the Cold War, the Central Intelligence Agency paid $3,000 to renowned magician John Mulholland to write a manual on misdirection, concealment, and stagecraft. All known copies of the document — and a related paper, on conveying hidden signals — were believed to be destroyed in 1973. But recently, the manuals resurfaced, and have now been published as “The Official CIA Manual of Trickery and Deception.” Topics include working a clandestine partner, slipping a pill into the drink of the unsuspecting, and “surreptitious removal of objects by women.”
This wasn’t the first time a magician worked for a western government. Harry Houdini snooped on the German and the Russian militiaries for Scotland Yard. English illusionist Jasper Maskelyne is reported to created dummy submarines and fake tanks to distract Rommel’s army during World War II. Some reports even credit him with employing flashing lights to “hide” the Suez Canal.

“Maybe or Government will try to Hire Derren for the Afghan and Iraq wars. Not to help them win – to Hypnotise us into supporting them.”
They do that every day. Their methods are incredibly more advanced than in cold war. Maybe even Derren isn’t aware of the extent this is being used to manipulate the public. We’re essentially living in a matrix.
And all that’s needed are major media which are all owned by the same group of people … but of course nobody believes that because the same media are telling us that it’s nonsense and a “conspiracy theory”. Quite genius when you think about it.
The great example is recent revelation that scientists were publishing fraudulent papers claimed to prove global warming (http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamesdelingpole/100017393/climategate-the-final-nail-in-the-coffin-of-anthropogenic-global-warming/)
Along with the uncovered documents was a manual of how to “sell” GW to public. Check it out:
