For 1st hand account of mind control read, "What Witches Don't Want Christians to know" by Mary Lou Lake. She was raised in a small town in the Ozarks near Fort Leonard Wood. Whole towns within a 30 mile radius of the Fort were under mind control(Monarch, according to Lake). Lake did a lot of research but could not find any online evidence of Fort Leonard Wood being involved with mind control experiments, yet she was under control, and she believes her mother was as well.
As Lake tells it, when she tried to exit control after being married, the controllers(through mind controlled towns people)did really horrible things to her and her family, apparently in an effort to trigger her or frighten her. A couple occult groups were involved, thus the book title. Christian point of view.
Worth a read for those interested.
I've heard her speak of these things in You Tube videos by Josh Peck.
