  1. FWIW, the notion of the "crazed lone gunman" started in the 1800s, after Lincoln (R) was assassinated by a "conspiracy." After him, Garfield (R), McKinley (R), and Teddy Roosevelt (R) were all shot by crazy lone gunmen. The first two assassins were executed, IIRC, and the third - who failed to kill Teddy - was put in a mental facility for the rest of his life. So to me, it looks like the US already had a mind-control program, and this would be just around the time that Freud became interested in the theories of hypnosis. I'm thinking the US, UK, and other intelligence services of the era already had mind-control programs, probably using substances like cocaine and heroin to accelerate the process of breaking the psyche, and Freud was one of many brought into the program.
