MKUltra’s Shadow: A Demonic War for Humanity’s Mind
The following is the latest from former Professor and Attorney David Clements.
See transcript below:
THE BATTLE FOR HUMANITY’S MIND began in the Garden. Before that, in the heavens, Lucifer rebelled, tempting angels to fall. Cast down to earth, he would plague Adam and Eve with the same doubts used against his fellow angels: that God was withholding something greater from His creation. Pride stirred. A lie would steal man’s birthright, shifting our identities from sons and daughters to purveyors of treason. That identity shift would give birth to a thousand more lies: locked cities are needed to save the people from an invisible enemy, self-imposed isolation is an act of love for your neighbor, depopulation is stewardship, abortion is love, and elections are always safe and secure.
All of it, lies.
I understand the Fall—I think. But I am now only starting to fully grasp how 2020 happened—the mass formation psychosis, how we lost our damned minds—and how the real enemy—principalities, powers, spiritual wickedness—seeks further control. Effective resistance can only be achieved through the exercise of divine authority, accomplished through God’s holy angels and the awakened Body of Christ. Today’s musing is the telling of that struggle, from Heaven’s rebellion to 2025, where humanity’s mind is the prize.
This past weekend, in Lenoir City, Tennessee, I met Cathy O’Brien. Born in 1957 in Muskegon, Michigan, she was sold by her father at age five into the CIA’s MKUltra program. She endured Project Monarch, a trauma-based mind control operation using torture, drugs, and hypnosis to shatter the self. She recounts in Trance Formation of America(1995) how her body, mind, and daughter became tools for the elite, her testimony to Congress suppressed for “national security.” George H.W. Bush, president and CIA director, abused her, part of a bloodline web. Senator Robert Byrd, a West Virginia Democrat with Klan ties, was her handler, grooming her for espionage in White House shadows.
Cathy, now 67, radiates hope. Her eyes defy the unspeakable with love, faith unbroken. She speaks of healing, reclaiming her soul through some divine connection I hope to learn more about. Her story exposes MKUltra’s horrors—LSD, electroshock, Satanic rituals performed at birth—confirmed by 1977 Church Committee hearings: 149 subprojects, 80 institutions, minds broken. Her words name a war on humanity’s mind, hidden in plain sight.
Our meeting in Tennessee is dear to me. She shared trauma’s grip, truth’s release. My mind raced after the meeting. Mind control, brainwashing—weapons forged in labs, Freemason lodges, aimed at the free. Our world sleeps through most of it. The darkness runs deep: Nazi roots, CIA coups, lockdowns. Cathy’s hope lit a path. Her story unveils the war on our minds, a war that stretches from ancient rebellion to today’s shadows.
And that’s the topic for today.
MKUltra’s Shadow: A Demonic War for Humanity’s Mind
Before Eden, Lucifer rebelled. A created being, he led angels astray in the invisible realm, where Thrones(Kings), Dominions (Lordships), Principalities (Rulerships), and Powers (Authorities) reflect a certain hierarchy, each flowing from the other in descending order.
Colossians 1:16 states: “For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.”
Some biblical scholars have opined that Colossians supports the notion that the top two levels were not involved in rebellion.
For support, theologians point to Ephesians 6:12, which states: “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”
Notice thrones and dominions appear to be absent from our wrestling match against spiritual darkness. This may be a key concept in understanding why our identity as heirs to a King gives us authority over Satan and these lesser offices or positions. Think of a knight dispensing justice on behalf of the King. A corrupt mayor stealing from the King, though he has authority of a kind, would have no power against the King’s envoy.
Proper perspective of our identity is key to staving off a weak mind.
Philippians 2:5-8 states:
“Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.”
Now consider Satan’s heart posture in Isaiah 14:12-15:
“How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low! You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.”
Cut down to the ground, Satan would attempt to climb his treasonous ladder. He would go on to usurp Adam’s birthright—Dominion (or Lordship) over earth—for a time through his deception. Satan stole Adam’s identity. But Satan didn’t stop there.
Before, he sought to make himself like the Most High. But when Christ emerged on the scene, equality was cast aside. Satan desired the throne to rule all others.
Matthew 4:8-9 states:
“Again, the devil took [Jesus] to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to him, ‘All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.”
Could you imagine the audacity, the self-delusion, the madness of the mind, the unbridled pride, to offer the God of the Universe a chance to worship at your feet?
Christ, fully human, fully God, resisted the temptation, and unlike Adam, would not give up his birthright, his identity. Rather, through His death, burial, and resurrection, he reclaimed our birthrights as Lords and Vice-Regents of this Earth. Christ now reigns, as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords (Revelation 19:16). When we forget that we are sons and daughters of the King, co-heirs with Christ, we are unable to withstand those demonic principalities and powers in the natural world. This is why mind control is so important to Satan and his minions. Demons will always seek to convince us we are not who God tells us we are.
For example, in the Garden, Satan’s serpent spoke. Its voice slithered to Eve, first woman, formed from Adam’s rib to share dominion, our original Lordship over Earth as vice-regents for God the King (Genesis 2:22, 1:28). “Ye shall be as gods,” it hissed, offering forbidden fruit (Genesis 3:5). Eve ate. Adam followed. They committed treason against the King, seeking to displace the great I AM from a throne that belongs exclusively to Him. The fruit was sweet, the fall bitter. After Satan planted that first lie, the battle for humanity’s mind began. Yes, humans would grapple with their share of the blame under the Fall’s Curse. But fallen angels and demons, left to ruin after their own failed rebellion, would seek any means to ascend the ladder back to Heaven. Breaking our minds would be the key.
Fallen Angels and the Flood’s Cleansing
Before the Flood, angels rebelled. Divine beings, tasked with serving God, lusted for human women, took them as wives, and birthed Nephilim—giants, mighty, corrupt (Genesis 6:1–4). These hybrids brought violence, warping humanity’s mind. God saw the earth’s corruption and sent the Flood, waters drowning its wickedness (Genesis 6:11–13, 6:17). The fallen angels were judged, their offspring destroyed, spirits lingering as demons. I often wonder what happened to those disembodied spirits.
The Book of Enoch names these angels “The Watchers,” chained and punished for their treason. Enoch helps with details, but weigh the book with care. The Bible is considered God’s breath (2 Timothy 3:16), and Enoch is not counted as canon. With that said, we can’t ignore Enoch because Christ didn’t. It is believed Jesus referred to Enoch as Scripture while rebuking the Sadducees, when he stated in Matthew 22:29–30, “You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they (resurrected people) neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.”
There is no passage in the Old Testament speaking of angels in such a way. However, in Enoch (1 Enoch 15:4–7), which was influential in Second Temple Judaism, there is a passage that undeniably supports the claim Christ is making against the Sadducees.
Moreover, Jude directly quotes from Enoch in Jude 1:14–15. Peter alludes to Enoch when he spoke of angels “cast down to hell [Tartarus], delivered into chains of darkness” (2 Peter 2:4–5). Paul speaks of judging the angels (1 Corinthians 6:3), which is nowhere to be found in the Old Testament outside of Enoch, where Enoch had authority over the Fallen. These apostles knew Enoch’s scrolls, weaving its truths into Scripture.
The point of this article is not to persuade you that Enoch should be considered canon. Rather, I offer it as a collateral text that appears to corroborate Genesis 6 in far greater detail about the rebellious 200 fallen angels that created hybrid offspring, setting into motion demonic bloodlines. If you are interested in this topic, I would recommend the writings of Timothy Alberino, who has forgotten more on the subject than I could hope to know.
Are there modern-day descendants that claim lineage to the Fallen? We are told God bound the Watchers in chains, their spirits persisting (1 Enoch 15:8). Enoch, Noah’s great-grandfather, a prophet taken to heaven (Genesis 5:24, Hebrews 11:5), is believed to have passed the account of the Watchers to Noah before the Flood.
After the Flood, bodies were destroyed, and those spirits sought new vessels. God warned Noah and his descendants against pagan gods—possible avatars for those same disembodied spirits. “There shall not be found among you any one that… useth divination, or an enchanter, or a witch” (Deuteronomy 18:10–12). “Ye shall not make your souls unclean by… familiar spirits” (Leviticus 20:6).
Solomon’s Binding, Tainted by Witchcraft
Then we get to King Solomon, who stood in Jerusalem, 10th century BC. His wisdom and wealth, God’s gifts, dazzled kings (1 Kings 3:12–13). Legends say that with a ring, he bound spirits, per the Testament of Solomon. Did Solomon master the world’s riches by forcing demons to yield forbidden knowledge, or compel them to build the temple’s foundations? The question hangs.
Some scholars have remarked that Solomon sealed spirits in vessels, some cast into the sea—a second watery grave, like the Flood. His power held, for a time. Like Enoch, the Testament of Solomon is not Scripture. But unlike Enoch, it has no corroboration from the New Testament apostles. Its tales of demonic mind control risk sorcery’s snare. For this reason, I counsel that you stay away from its pages.
But what we do know is that Solomon fell to foreign wives and their idols. Ashtoreth, Molech—led him to witchcraft, like the pagan gods of old (1 Kings 11:4–6). His seal turned tainted. Legends of Aladdin’s lamp, genies, Pandora’s Box being opened, Rings of Power stem from his story. But the tales say disembodied spirits broke free when Solomon betrayed his identity as God’s anointed. Solomon’s heart turned, his seal weakened. And the myths say that sorcerers loosed those spirits from what he chained.
Jesus and the Swine
Fast forward. Jesus walks Galilee to save humanity (John 3:16). Demons know him. In Gadarenes, a man raged, possessed by fallen angels’ spirits. “Send us into the swine,” they begged (Mark 5:12). Jesus cast them out. Two thousand pigs drowned in the sea—a third watery grave, per Michael Cocchini’s theory, echoing the Flood and Solomon’s seal. The man’s mind cleared, birthright glimpsed. The cross broke Satan’s power, but demons lingered.
The Bloodlines and Modern Mind Control
What became of these thrice-drowned spirits? Did the Watchers’ descendants resurface through hybrid bloodlines and their organizations—what researchers and conspirators call the Illuminati, the Rosicrucian, Bilderberg, CFR, among others? For example, it is widely accepted that Prescott Bush, father of George H.W. Bush, a banker and senator, laundered Nazi funds for Fritz Thyssen, aiding Hitler’s rise. Hitler would then capture the minds of Germany, with the help of Joseph Goebbels. They centralized Nazi control over all media, arts, film, radio, press, and cultural life, using them to promote Hitler’s ideology.
Bush’s networks, tied to Skull & Bones, gave life to Operation Paperclip, importing 1,600 German scientists with Thule Society ties—men like Wernher von Braun, steeped in forbidden knowledge. The Thule Society, born in Munich’s shadows in 1918, spun tales of Aryans as heirs to divine god-men, sprung from a lost age of ice and myth. They saw their race as chosen, forged by Nordic gods, not unlike the Nephilim—those giant spawn of angels and women in Enoch’s old book, half-divine, half-human, cursed and mighty. Thule’s dream of a super man, pure and strong, echoed Nietzsche’s Übermensch, but twisted it into a blond beast for a new Reich. The salient point is this: the American government employed former Nazis that held to this demonic influence, some linked to atrocities, including mind control.
Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Dulles, and Bush kin embraced these mind control programs, bending minds through global finance and espionage. Whether these Illuminati families are in fact the descendants of the Fallen Watchers is well outside of my knowledge or expertise. I just ask you to consider what became of those same disembodied spirits that have waged war against humanity’s mind for thousands of years.
To implore you that we must wrestle with the spiritual forces behind our programming. Adam and Eve’s mind was ensnared by Satan, then almost all of humanity was held in a trance after the Fallen had their way with the daughters of Men. Even after the Flood, Israel’s story is consistently marked by the demonic holding sway over the minds of their Rulers, Judges, and Kings, constantly tempting them to follow other gods. Now consider the Illuminati families of our present age. Are they not the architects behind virtually every operation concerning mind control?
In 1945, Operation Paperclip opened one of the most ambitious plans to brainwash humanity. The U.S. took Nazi scientists—von Braun, Kurt Blome. Their Nazi ties were cleansed, per declassified files. Paperclip brought Thule Society occultism, rooted in the very fallen angel myths I describe above. MKUltra followed, 1953, under Allan Dulles. The CIA, backed by Rockefeller funds, tasked Dr. Ewen Cameron at Canada’s Allan Memorial Institute to break minds with weeks-long comas, relentless electroshock, and taped messages played thousands of times—psychic driving to erase and reprogram souls. MKUltra’s shadow stretched, per 1977 hearings. Offshoots like Project Monarch programmed victims like Cathy O’Brien for espionage, minds split by trauma. Then came 2020, an unbridled attempt to brainwash humanity at a level undreamed of. I still can’t believe what these social engineers got away with.
The Pinnacle of the Battle
Yuri Bezmenov, a 1970 KGB defector, named the brainwashing game at a nation-state level: demoralization through lies, destabilization via unrest, crisis to spark chaos, normalization for puppets. Paperclip’s shadow grew. The 1960s burned, MKUltra’s LSD fueling hippies. Coups toppled nations—Iran 1953, Guatemala 1954. In 2020, the peak rose. COVID locked New York, London. Masks hid faces, vaccines pushed, WHO-led. Elections faltered, ballots questioned.
The battle for humanity’s mind raged. Ephesians 6:12 named the foe that an increasingly secular country could not identify: “rulerships, authorities, the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” The chessboard, cosmic, held divine stakes. Victory needed God’s hand. But where were God’s knights, reminding His children of their identity? What divine plan did God have in the offing to combat such evil?
The Reversal and the Kingdom Age
Yuri Bezmenov’s words hung heavy: a nation could fall without a shot, broken by lies, unrest, chaos, and puppets. Demoralization. Destabilization. Crisis. Normalization. A KGB game to rot the soul of a people.
Trump saw it clear. He stood tall, his voice a trumpet. He would reverse-engineer the demon’s mind control.
Demoralization? “Make America Great Again,” he said, and it was no slogan but a fire to burn the lies. He moralized, not with soft words but hard truths—pride in the flag, faith in the old ways, work that built calluses. Jobs came, seven million strong, Black and Hispanic unemployment cut to bone, 3.5% for all, a fifty-year low. He signed orders for churches, for schools free of dogma, for heroes carved in stone, not erased by shame.
Destabilization? Stability was Trump’s shield. He forged the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, replacing NAFTA, added $68 billion, 176,000 jobs. China bent, $200 billion in exports clawed back. Energy flowed, NATO allies paid $400 billion, not leaching. No new wars bled the land.
Crisis? Solutions quick as lightning combatted the corruption identified by DOGE. Abraham Accords tied nations. ISIS crumbled. Cartels, named terrorists, faced deportation—1.5 million gone. Jobs, 12 million, rose from COVID’s ash.
Normalization of lies? Accountability was his blade. He never wavered from declaring the 2020 election as rigged and stolen. He never bestowed legitimacy to the impostor Biden. No more puppets given safe harbor, no normalization of deceit.
While Trump led, he couldn’t reverse our brainwashing alone.
The phenomenon known as Q emerged.
Laugh and mock if you want. But it was the anonymous voices that dropped crumbs. “Think for yourself,” they urged, timing truths to tweets, speeches, proofs. Memes were deployed to ridicule the hypocrites and educate sheep in need of shepherds. Researchers exposed Rothschild banks, Rockefeller schemes. Tariffs, 2025, cut globalist chains. Pardons freed January 6 truth-tellers. Devolution held power from puppets. Lockdowns broke, minds resisted. “Where we go one, we go all,” the cry rang, uniting against division.
A military and civilian plan emerged. Declassification, troop movements, executive orders—signs of a hidden war, per 2025 hints. It reversed brainwashing at a pace undreamed of, waking minds. “Truth is Freedom,” the anonymous voices would repeat over and over again, breaking the serpent’s spell.
I believe Trump’s promise to “drain the swamp” is destined to become the fourth drowning of those disembodied spirits that wormed their way into our propaganda feed. The feed has been broken. The deep state, principalities and powers are being flushed down the toilet. Exposures, tribunals—corruption’s grave, echoing the Flood, Solomon’s seal, and Jesus’ sending of the swine into the sea. The chess game turns.
Bezmenov’s warning heeded: morals rose, chaos calmed, puppets faltered. The Great Awakening is here. Speaking with Cathy O’Brien, I believe she feels it too. Humanity’s birthright is glimmering once again. We are remembering our identity.
Revelation warns of final days. But until those days come, we will contend with the spirit of the Anti-Christ and labor to break all chains enslaving the mind of man until that final victory. But make no mistake, we are on the cusp of a great victory now, and I cannot wait to celebrate.
