I thought Catcher was one of the programming books, along with Alice and Wizard of Oz - or was it only linked to JFK and Lee Harvey Oswald

Is it bit like Art? The viewer sees things that were not necessarily in the artists conscious or subconscious mind when he created the work of Art.

This is an extremely widespread problem in America today; one estimate claims that as many as 28% to 33% of all American females were subject to childhood sexual abuse.

As a member of military intelligence, Salinger may well have been aware of science that Bateson and Erickson were developing to influence the subconscious.

Following the war the OSS transitioned into the CIA and began a secret program called MK Ultra. As shown in our article “Manufacturing the Deadhead“, this program was instrumental to the creation of what was called the counter culture – the cultural force that caused America’s youth to abandon their middle class values and embrace sex, drugs and rock and roll as freedom. This was presumably done at the direction of some hidden power that wished to debase the morals and intellect of the baby boomer generation to make them easier to control. In fact, MK Ultra intended to place them within a kind of mental slavery.

We ask the reader to consider whether Salinger created The Catcher in the Rye as part of this project. Culture moves slowly, and the book seems to have been intended to operate as a precursor to the more destructive ideas about sex, drugs and music that would follow. The book helped to – among other things – began the process of isolating teen-agers from their parents in order to break down the family structure. The trend started by Holden Caulfield’s lonely teen-age angst, would end up in Woodstock with drugged out baby boomers experiencing casual sex in the mud while their rock idols – many of whom were the children of military intelligence– played music designed to diminish their intellect.

Erickson’s research, which involved the idea that hypnotically effective trance states could be established in the course of ordinary life activities such as reading, talking to a therapist, or watching motion pictures, especially if intense and traumatic emotional states could be evoked by the experience. During such trance states, Erickson believed, the subconscious mind of the the target could be accessed by means of hypnotic suggestion.

This idea was later taken up by Bateson proteges Richard Bandler and John Grinder, who commercialized it as the system of “Neuro-Linguistic Programming”, described in their 1975 work “The Structure of Magic“. They drew on Noam Chomsky’s theory of transformational grammar to explain that the subliminal messages could be formed within a deep linguistic structure lurking beneath the surface interpretation.
