Operation Spellbinder was a CIA project that utilized undercover hypnotherapists to create programmed assassins and "hypnotic couriers." Dyer cites the work of Dr. George Estabrooks, who claimed that information could be buried in alternate personalities to prevent extraction through torture. The goal was to create agents who could be triggered into action by specific keywords or visual cues, similar to "The Manchurian Candidate."
