WERE WE CONTROLLED?

by Lincoln Lawrence ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 24, 1967

A small group of hard-as-steel international criminals (with German-Argentinian intellectual and scientific backgrounds) carefully calculated that the coincidence of the assassination of a President of the United States...and the simultaneous scandalizing and collapse of the commodities market...would rapidly drive the stock market down at least thirty points!...Having advance knowledge of this event...the group would sell short on a heavily financed scale...and a profit of perhaps a half-billion dollars would be divided amongst its members!"" This is the rumor which Lincoln Lawrence attempts to substantiate by a suppositional narrative involving Oswald and Ruby and connecting their fates with that of Tino De Angelis of Allied. Lawrence posits that through R.H.I.C.--Radio-Hypnotic Intracerebral Control--and E.D.O.M.--Electronic Dissolution of Memory--these three men became electronic toys in the hands of their movers. (They are presented as Soviet agents in a lengthy construction of Oswald's sojourn in Russia, somehow in collaboration with the people with interests working through Bunge, which provided 40% of Allied's export business.) Lawrence thus sees the death of President Kennedy and the Great Salad Oil Swindle as interconnected. The extrapolation of the possible scientific process of mind control on the course of the assassination is sketchily though suggestively based; this must remain in the realm of the incredible for the suggestible.
