HUSTLER HYPNOTISTS
This is an excerpt from an article written by Dr. Jimmy Licauco about hypnotism. It’s important because it could be used against crime:
‘A well known story of the use of hypnosis to rob a bank is told by parapsychologist Colin Wilson in “ Mysterious Powers” published in 1975. Stalin in 1940 tested the telepathic powers of a Polish psychic, Wolf Messing, by asking Messing to withdraw 100,000 rubles from a bank in which he did not have an account.
“Two official witnesses went with Messing. They saw Messing show a note to the cashier who then took banknotes out of a safe and handed them over to Messing. Messing put them in a briefcase and left. Then, with the two witnesses, he reentered the bank and handed back the money and the note which was in fact a blank paper. The clerk looked at it, suddenly realized what he had done, and collapsed with a heart attack.”
‘Experts say seventy percent of people are hypnotizable. So it pays to be very vigilant when talking to strangers’- or become a victim.
