Real Life All-American Conspiracy ripped from yesterday's headlines makes "The Manchurian Candidate" a quick course in How the Real World Really Works.

* Mind control.

* Microchip implants.

* Global slush funds.

* Programmed assassins and patsies.

* Phony wars for corporate profits.

* Stage-managed political conventions.

It's all there. You know - just like real life. So here are the Real World analogues --

* Mind control - The CIA's MK-Ultra, Project Monarch, and other black (covert) projects recounted by survivors of trauma-based mind control, including Annie McKenna ("Paper Dolls"), Kathleen Sullivan ("Unshackled"), Brice Taylor ("Thanks for the Memories"), and Arizona Wilder.

* Microchip implants - Verichip, manufactured by Applied Digital Solutions (Florida) and recently implanted in Mexico's Attorney General office staff for "security."

* "Manchurian Global" - Read "Carlyle Group," a global slush fund masquerading as a "private equity fund," employing politicos and world class criminals like former President-CIA Director George Herbert Walker Bush.
