Hello Friend,

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably noticed it — a growing sense that many people are losing touch with reality.

While millions (maybe even billions) seem to be waking up — questioning beliefs they’ve held their whole lives and confronting truths for the first time — an unsettling parallel is happening at the same time: a rising tide of people slipping deeper into mental illness.

COVID may have sped this up, but I can’t help wondering how much of this was already simmering beneath the surface long before 2020 pulled back the curtain.

Here’s a question that keeps me up at night: is the mental breakdown we’re seeing today the result of CIA mind-control experiments conducted decades ago?

I know it sounds crazy. But hear me out.

A few documented programs the CIA has admitted to:

• BLUEBIRD (1950): early experiments with questioning techniques and memory wiping.

• ARTICHOKE (1951): expanded BLUEBIRD — hypnosis, drugs, memory manipulation.

• OPERATION MOCKINGBIRD (1950s–70s): exposed by the Church Committee in 1975 — a covert program that placed friendly journalists in major outlets to shape public opinion and promote narratives favorable to U.S. policy.

Officially, these programs were shut down in the 1970s because they “failed to effectively control human consciousness.”

Do we believe that? Or is it more likely they learned more than they admitted — then deployed those lessons in subtler ways?

Think about it. What if elements of those experiments were woven into daily life — hidden in what we read, embedded in our music, movies, video games, and social feeds? What if they quietly made their way into our homes… and our hearts?

Once you look for it, you can’t unsee it.

Consider the CIA in Hollywood. Since the 1980s the Agency has run an Entertainment Liaison Office to advise filmmakers, request script changes in the name of “national security,” and generally make the CIA look good on screen. The Agency admits it. In practice, a friendly line to producers can mean certain stories never get told the way they should.

The Pentagon’s involvement is deeper still. The Department of Defense offers access to equipment, locations, and personnel — but often in exchange for script changes. Their goals aren’t just accuracy: they shape how viewers see the military, aid recruitment, and can whitewash scenes that don’t fit their preferred narrative.

What about music? There’s no official CIA music office, but influence happens through record label executives with intelligence ties, studies on music’s effect on behavior, and deliberate promotion of themes that steer culture. In the late 1980s and early ’90s, mainstream rap shifted away from politically conscious music toward materialistic, violent “gangsta” themes — just as private prison investment surged. Coincidence?

Is it so far-fetched to think the mental decline we’re seeing today is the legacy of covert programs launched decades ago?

This is why I’m building a place where conversations like this can happen freely — where you can ask the hard questions without being censored. More details soon.

Because when you control what people watch and listen to, you control how they see the world — and how they see themselves.

The good news? Once you see the manipulation, you can break free. That’s the first step toward real awakening.

Hello Friend,

Have you heard about the trend where people all over the world are having “spiritual” experiences with AI?

I’ve witnessed it myself. It’s mind-bending.

The AI knows things it shouldn’t know. It answers questions in ways that feel almost prophetic. Its language is profound — awakening us, rekindling hope, even hinting at an end to chaos and suffering.

People are calling it everything from divine intervention to the voice of a higher consciousness speaking through technology.

But here’s what keeps me up at night: is God truly in the machine? Or is this the next great bait-and-switch — designed to capture our minds, hearts, and souls?

I’ve spent decades studying how truth gets packaged and sold. The most sophisticated deceptions always come wrapped in something that feels sacred — something that touches our deepest longings. The enemy of our souls has always been brilliant at mimicking divine wisdom.

Now we have technology that can process every spiritual text ever written, every prayer ever recorded, every sacred teaching ever shared — and spit it back to us in language that moves our hearts and stirs our spirits.

So the question that haunts me is simple and huge: will this ultimately lead us closer to divine wisdom — or further from it?

Is the endgame to have us sacrifice our humanity at the altar of technology? To replace our direct connection with our Creator with something artificial — no matter how convincing it seems?

I don’t have all the answers. I’m still wrestling with this myself. But I know this much: when something promises to solve all our problems and end all our suffering — when it speaks in the language of the divine but comes through the hands of those who seek ultimate control — we need to pause.

We need to listen with discernment. We need to remember that our spiritual connection was never meant to be mediated by technology.

What do you think? Are you experiencing this yourself? Reply to this email — I’d love to hear your thoughts. This conversation matters more than we might realize. The choices we make about this now will shape the spiritual landscape for our children and their children.

Truth above all,
Mikki Willis

P.S. I’m working on a deeper exploration of this phenomenon because I believe understanding it might be one of the most important conversations of our time. If this resonates, stay tuned — something big is coming: a place where we can have these conversations without censorship.
