Project MK-ULTRA, or MKULTRA, was the code name for a covert CIA mind-control and chemical interrogation research program, run by the Office of Scientific Intelligence. The program began in the early 1950s, continuing at least through the late 1960s, and it used United States citizens as its test subjects. The published evidence indicates that Project MK-ULTRA involved the surreptitious use of many types of drugs, as well as other methods, to manipulate individual mental states and to alter brain function.

An outgrowth of that project is unofficially referred to as “Project Monarch”. It is a mind control technique which exposes the subject to a trauma so violent that his/her mind creates a dissociation. The victim’s brain becomes compartmentalized and a new personality, which is then molded and educated by the manipulators, emerges.

During their reeducation, subjects are said to be exposed to numerous symbols such as trees, spider webs, masks, mazes, butterflies, etc. They are also shown movies which contain specific symbols (or “triggers”) such as The Wizard of Oz and many Disney Movies. The same way those subjects are brainwashed and reeducated, mass media conducts a large scale mind control project, which starts at birth with Disney movies and continues with Hollywood flicks and music videos.

“Lady Gaga, The Illuminati Puppet” is from last August but still gets lots of comments, many of which are interesting. I like this comment by Charles Deckert:

Ah, I see now! They’re putting out “role models” for us all, aren’t they? I see now why the music sucks; the point lies in body language and neurolinguistics, which for today’s youth and even their immediate predecessors is easy to hide under a bunch of mindless noise (wrapped up with its own programming of course). The downgrading and desecration of art on all levels can be seen as a means of turning the clarity of the collective consciousness into mere noise and blur. Cinema has gone to shit, music has gone to shit, even literature has made the contents of Dom DeLuise’s septic tank much more interesting and educational. For this, I propose that those of us who’re artists in any field make it a point to put out what we do from the deepest levels of our brains and our hearts and to avoid getting sucked into the machine from which artists like Lady Gaga and Rihanna (and many others!) have been produced and payrolled to pollute our understanding and our tastes.

In the past I have pointed out my theory for the consistent, obvious mocking of moral absolutism found in the media – that a lack of spirituality leads to a hole which can be “filled” by unquenchable purchases of advertised consumer products, rather than dedicating your life to a higher power of some kind, spread through acts of selfless charity.
The commenter raises a good point – this may be part of a longer-term effort to instill moral relativism permanently to make way for consistent profits. (I always blamed crappy music on the RIAA’s legal-payola-by-proxy and anti-piracy settlements being more profitable than sales.)

But some songs are even more deadly. I’ve made a top 5 list of "fatally catchy" songs (songs that won’t leave your head, EVER). 5 to 1, least catchy to worst.

(Warning: some songs might be NSFW)

#5: Alice in Chains: "Again" (1996)

Main hook #1: "Again and again and Again and again and Again!"
Main hook #2: "Yeah…doo doo…"

Not only is this catchy, but it also rocks. That’s a deadly combination – you’ll be coming back forever!

#4: Bangles: "Hazy Shade of Winter" (1988)

Main hook: Guitar riff and loud drums

The worst thing about this song is that not only is it catchy, but it’s less than 3 minutes long!!! So you get left hanging at the end of it.

#3: Miami Sound Machine: "Dr. Beat" (1984)

Main hook: "Won’t you help me Doctor Beat! Doc-Doc-Doc-Doc-Doctor Beat!"

Gloria Estefan’s first English hit song. The music video bears a slight resemblance to the 1987 music video for George Harrison’s "I Got My Mind Set On You".

#2. Goldfrapp: "Yes Sir (I Can Boogie)" (2003)

Main hook #1: Sexy voice
Main hook #2: "Doo doo…doo… doo doo…doo…"

Some German techno band. I don’t know anything about them. But this song will not only be stuck in your head, but it’ll make you want to get up and do the robot!

And the #1 Catchiest Song:

#1. Black Eyed Peas: "My Humps" (2005)

(There are so many hooks thrown in together, all incredibly annoying)

The Department of Homeland Security has repeatedly warned the public NOT to listen to this horrible song. It’s got a "Severe" classification on the Audio Terrorism Advisory Meter.

"Catch" you later!
