Ah, this one is another one of my favourite conspiracy theories.
Glad someone posted this.

The interesting thing about this conspiracy theory is it is actually grounded in fact. It's a matter of record that the CIA, beginning in the 50's funded a massive research project into mind control. At it's height it had under the main umbrella over 130 subprojects in the USA, Canada and Britain and was the largest single expenditure in the CIA's budget, consuming 1/4 to 1/3 of the entire operational budget at one point.

This came to light mainly through a case in Canada where the CIA paid Catholic orphanages to deliver up orphans, mental patients and young women to "insane asylums" for cash and they were then experimented on by Dr Ewen Cameron at the Hopital de la Misericorde in Quebec. This famously became known when it was found out as the Duplessis Orphans case and resulted in it going to trial and over 100 boxes of documentation seeing the light of day detailing the weird whacky world of project MKULTRA and the CIA's experiments with mind control via hypnosis, electo therapy, drugs and trauma.

What's funny is that this conspiracy theory, which is based on actual fact, is lumped with all the others as "ha ha lunatic tinfoil hatters and their ramblings" and yet it went on and it was huge.

Here's the website of one lawyer who was obliged to look it into it because he was asked to represent a victim

and here's the actress Celia Imrie's account of her own ordeal at the hands of these nutters when she was a youngster in London which appeared in her autobiography this year

so hang on, you believe that jim henson deliberately invented the muppets as a form of mind control?

No, nothing like that
I suspect what the case is is that it has come to light some of the trauma based techniques the CIA employed in MKULTRA to break people's minds. This information is naturally fascinating to Hollywood screenwriters given that (a) they're continually strapped for ideas and (b) gives them a sense of self importance since the CIA apparently used film in their techniques.

And so they incorporate it into movie plots. Think how many movie plots concern mind controlled assassins - Manchurian Candidate, Jason Bourne, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Dollhouse - they can't get enough of it, and it's all drawn from the actual MKULTRA files.

So is Labyrinth a movie made for mind control? Unlikely. Is it a movie conceivably about mind control? Quite probably.

David Icke's website is good as well.
