I saw someone comment somewhere else (then I lost it) that it would be a good idea for anyone with old issues to look back through the articles to see if anything of note is there.
A thought of my own is that such magazines might have been a way to subvert young minds. The kids sneak the magazines, see their first sexual images, then that could get tied to whatever is next to them? Trigger words, items, ideas?
I don't think that "mind control" really works like that. I mean it's pretty clear that our government has developed some means to manipulate people into behaving weirdly, but in practice I think what they do is they run a false flag on someone who is already impressionable with a combination of drugs and bullying. And then they roll the dice.
It's not like your brain has some secret receptors in it that I can "hack" or something to make you begin behaving like a robot. Can you bully people? Obviously. Manipulate people? Absolutely. But it would be difficult to get a reliable agent to go against his instincts, against his family, against his country. "Brainwashed people", and that's a terrible word for it, are unpredictable.
My point is that I don't think that this works the way that you think it does.

Repeated abuse is how it's done.
