3400 “Mean Brat” To Angel

Sometime ago a most unusual operation was performed upon a six-year-old “problem child” in the Wesley Memorial Hospital in Chicago. The operation is called hemispherectomy. lt took nearly five hours to perform it. It is claimed that “a mean brat” was transformed by the operation into “a lovable, sweet angel.”

The child could not be tolerated by either her parents or teachers. Her seizures could not be controlled by any kind of medicine. She was described as being “disobedient, disruptive, destructive, and so antagonistically unruly that teachers sent her home.” She was such a behavior problem that her parents were contemplating putting her in an institution. Now, it is claimed, “all is changed. She is cooperative and gracious.”

3401 On Mind Control

It was finally revealed in 1977 that the US Central Intelligence Agency, during a 25-year period, spent $25 million in search for methods of MIND CONTROL. This was in response to the belief that the Russians had perfected mind control and used it on individuals like Cardinal Mindszenty and U.S. prisoners-of-war in Korea.
