It has been busy since New Years Eve in the area of sex related incidents on P & O ships.

An increased awareness of pedophiles cruising onP & O ships has warranted a Boycott by Cruise Bruise, warning families not to take their children aboard these ships.
Drink spikings are done for the purpose to gaining sex from another person who otherwise would not comply.

While women fear date rape drugs like GBH also known as Grievous Bodily Harm or the correct name  of Gammahydroxybutyrate the war against compliant victims has been raised to new levels with increasing use of Scopolamine. Major media organizations portray this drug use as exclusive to third world countries, but nothing could be further from the truth.

Scopolamine has a history as a mind control drug, dating back to Nazi Germany used as a truth serum and  to American CIA use for mind control. It has been used during child birth, as a sleep aid, anti-depressant and more recently for motion sickness, such as for those taking a cruise.

It is currently used by NASA for motion sickness. But the dosage use for legal uses is .33 milligrams. Used in high doses of 5-7 milligrams it can render a victim into a zombie state and at 10 milligrams produce coma then death.

Scopolamine has become increasingly popular as a date rape drug, because unlike other date rape drugs that knock the victim out, this drug leaves the victim in a state of compliancy, in an awake zombie state, where their mind is totally controlled so they can participate in the rape, then remember nothing at all.  It is that very result that made the drug so appealing to the CIA.

This same mind control technique is being used to get victims to commit crimes, sometimes against themselves such as assisting in a robbery or their own murder. While the crimes may be caught by video tape and look like the person committing the crime is using free will, they are actually being controlled to commit the crime, and will have no memory of it afterward.

Used in this high dose illegal manner, any criminal, corrupt law enforcement or government could use the drug as a means of setting up a person to commit a crime. The victim of the dosage would have no memory at all of having committed the crime, but there would no doubt be plenty of evidence for conviction. We have to wonder how many times victims have been convicted of crimes they can not remember committing.

Drug administration can come in many forms. It is placed in drinks, chewing gum, sprinkled into food, dropped down the front of woman's dress, placed on the collar of a shirt or blown into the face. With the raw drug only a few grains will bring about strong results. One sign of contamination after coming out of the influence of the drug is a severe headache, which may last for several days.

A CSI Las Vegas television episode, Revenge Is Best Served Cold,  has a story about a poker player who never tipped the waitress, getting eye drops placed in his beverage, which was suspected of killing him because scopolamine or hyoscine is in the ophthalmic solution or what is commonly known as eye drops. One such brand name is Isopto Hyoscine. There are about a dozen brand names in the U.S. and several in Canada. Eye drops should be considered suspicous if near your drink. Ultimately the character died of lead poisoning from chocolate candy, but it is interesting to note that the eye drops were suspected.
