Fw: Ten Most Harmful Books ...

[moishe lichtfuss]

"An agent is trained to deny his agent identity by asserting his cover 
story. So why not use psychic jiu-jitsu and go along with him? Suggest that 
his cover story is his identity and that he has no other. His agent identity 
becomes unconscious, that is, out of his control; and you can dig it with 
drugs and hypnosis. You can make a square heterosexual citizen queer with 
this angle..."
