CIA Mind Control Experiments: Building the Manchurian Candidate
by Dr. Colin Ross
CKLN-FM 88.1 Toronto - International Connection Mar 16, 23, 30, 1997
Wayne Morris:
Good morning, welcome to International Connection. It's a very
special show this morning. This is the beginning of a journey we
are about to take on this programme. A journey into a gruesome
world of mind control experiments by government-financed doctors
in Canada and the United States. Inhuman experiments performed
on humans, children for the most part. For the next 8 months on the
show we will be airing interviews with survivors of mind control
experiments and ritual abuse, lectures and interviews with
therapists, researchers, and writers who are dealing with the legacy
of mind control.
Specifically we'll be looking at the documented history of U.S. CIA
and military mind control experimental programs. Also the
struggles of survivors to get compensation from the CIA and the
Canadian government in particular govt-funded mind control
experiments at McGill University under Dr. Ewen Cameron. We'll
be hearing the accounts of survivors of horrific experiments
involving electroshock, drugs, brain implants, sensory deprivation,
psychic driving, forced sleep, ritual and sexual abuse. We'll also be
discussing the military and intelligence uses of mind control
including theft, assassination, and sexual blackmail using child
victims. We'll be talking about the uses of creating MPD in people
for mind control programming and its links to the MP effects of
ritual abuse. We'll be discussing with therapists to talk about the
effects of severe trauma, sexual abuse, recovered memories and the
'False Memory Syndrome'
Many people listening may be aware of Dr. Cameron's projects at
the Allan Memorial Institute in Montreal but this wasn't the only
location. The experimental projects were carried out all across
Canada and of course in the United States.
The first segment of this radio series Mind Control in Canada
features a lecture by Dr. Colin Ross to colleagues about the history
of the U.S. CIA and military mind control programs. Dr. Ross is a
Canadian psychiatrist specializing in MPD currently practicing in
Texas. He has researched this subject for many years and is
currently writing a book about mind control. He has obtained
thousands of CIA documents through the Freedom of Information
Act and through these documents, Dr. Ross is able to prove the US
government has been using MPD and Manchurian Candidates
operationally since WWII.. and it doesn't stop there.
This lecture is part one of three one-hour segments to kick off this
radio series Mind Control in Canada on 88.1 CKLN.
And now Dr. Colin Ross:
[Lecture given at 9th Annual Western Clinical Conference on
Trauma and Dissociation, April 18, 1996, Orange County,
California]
I'm very very happy that you are all here. This is the first time that I
have talked on this stuff in public, and the problem was that Kevin
made a little mistake on the schedule. He didn't get the title quite
right. This is actually a performance art piece. It's entitled:
"Psychiatrist Trying to Stay Calm and Casual". But before we go
any further, by the way, there are a couple of messages here for
people who are supposed to call home: William C. Hollinger (if
he's here) - he's supposed to call his lab in Pittsburgh. L. Wilson
Green, you're supposed to call your lab at Edgeware Arsenal. And
Ewen Cameron, there's a message to call Leonard in Montreal. So
why is it I am talking about this, and what is it I am trying to say
here? Well, one explanation is no one has the faintest idea what I
am talking about and I am here talking about it because I am a little
wacky. Hopefully by the end of the day, that won't be the
conclusion. However, that is a conclusion that unhappily is in print
in various esteemed locations such as the British Journal of
Psychiatry, Esquire Magazine, and Richard's Ofshe's book, and a
CBC film. It's been a very curious experience to go through this
little journey that Kevin just alluded to, which is the same journey
that we have all gone through if we have heard this from patients.
It's starts off back in the remote past, 1981-85, when I am a
psychiatric resident. I mentioned yesterday that in four years of
medical school and four years of residency, I have had more
multiple choice questions on Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome, which just to
remind you, as you all know, is an inherited deficiency of enzyme
hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosltransferase-I had more
questions on that syndrome in my four years of medical school and
four years of psychiatric residency than on childhood sexual abuse,
and more teaching. So then somewhere in the course of the
residency I get up to speed on dissociative disorders and connect
them to childhood abuse and read up on the literature and get a
little bit grounded, and the avalanche of MPD cases starts for me in
late 1985 into 1986, and I think I have kind of (a little bit) got
what's going on and some person comes in and starts telling me
about their father was killed by the Mafia and they were taken to a
child prostitution brothel and then they were involved in satanic
ritual stuff. So I go "Gee", no books, no literature, nobody ever
heard of it, nobody talks about it, totally in outer space, no idea
what to do, which way to turn. I go to the Eastern Regional
Conference, go to Chicago, find out a little bit, start getting a little
bit grounded and the first couple of cases, my personal reaction is,
"Gawh!" - this sure sounds real, could be real, it's pretty scary.
Wonder if I should let my kids out on Halloween or not. And then
the sort of basic experience is whatever percent of SRA is actually
real, it is clear that we got into some sort of hysteria wave in society
in general, and in the profession, and a lot of people went a bridge
or two too far on their journey, and we had to reign ourselves back
in. So the time course now is, in my training, there is no sexual
abuse at all. It doesn't exist. It's not relevant because it doesn't exist.
Then it goes to, well, it exists, but it's not really all that relevant
and then there's these sorts of outlaw gadfly sort of people who are
into dissociative disorders who aren't accepted by the mainstream.
Then the dissociative disorders people from a foundation of reality
that was hidden go off into outer space on this-it wasn't alien
abductions, but it was still outer space-on this ritual abuse stuff.
Then they sort of come back to earth and get a little bit grounded-
and the next thing you know it's all this government experiments,
mind control stuff. So if you follow the pattern, what should be the
case is just another hysteria wave. And the more you look at it, the
more it will just dissolve, and we will all settle down and forget
about it. Well the pattern didn't work. Because when I
systematically started looking into CIA military mind control, the
more I looked, the more solid reality there was there. And as you
will see as we go through these slides, and through this talk, it's a
completely different deal from SRA. Somewhere out there in the
justice system, there may actually be objective evidence where
somebody has actually busted a SRA cult. If there is, that
information is not generally publicly available to us. It is a fact that
we have not nailed down human ritual sacrifice cults in North
America if they exist. So it's all conjecture. Today I will prove to
you, completely locked down, documented, proven, beyond dispute
discussion that intelligence agencies have been creating
Manchurian candidates and MPD for operational use since the
Second World War. This is not a conspiracy theory. This is a fact.
Now that's very amazing because if you took an opinion poll of all
the psychiatrists in the American Psychiatric Association today-or
you took the same poll five years ago -- 99.999% ... over 99% of
the psychiatrists would say "it's fiction, we know the movie is
fiction, Frank Sinatra did a good job, but there's just no way, it's
absolutely impossible." (There might be two outlaw psychiatrists in
the whole group who would say that it's possible that Manchurian
candidates are real.) This is a very, very strange phenomena that
actually in 1996 this is a completely documented fact-it's a very
strange sociological little development in the field of psychiatry.
How could that be possible? Well I'm going to try and explain how
it's possible. So that's "what" I am going to talk about. Also I am
going to talk about not just creating Manchurian candidates, but
the whole network of mind control doctors that is involved in this
and supports this-this kind of old boys' network that maintains all
of this. And you will see a whole bunch of slides with godzillian
interconnections that I will go into in detail. And every one of those
steps - unless I otherwise specify - is completely documented.
Absolutely objective in full. So there is something real peculiar
about the whole story. It's a very strange story. It tells us that there
is something going on in our culture and in the mental health field
that is hidden and secret. This is another kind of incest secret in the
field of psychiatry that all of these people who have been running
psychiatry in the latter half of the 20th century are either directly or
loosely connected to a whole huge universe of covert hidden
secretly funded mind control research, and as I emphasized, that's a
fact. Now why should we be talking about that at this conference?
Well it's obvious. If in fact experimental MPD has been created and
has been tight and hard and real enough for operational use by
intelligence agencies for the last 50 years, then it is something of
interest to the dissociative disorders field. This is profound
evidence in favour of the iatrogenic pathway to DID that I talked
about this morning. When I combine the expert witness experience
that I have had at clinically created iatrogenic DID using the
techniques of destructive psychotherapy cults in the course of
persuasion, as I described this morning-when I take that expert
witness evidence and see those cases created out of a base of no
pre-existing DID and then I go to this CIA military mind control
literature, my only possible conclusion is yes, you can create full
tilt DID artificially from ground zero. Also I have to conclude that
you can create any degree of complexity, permutations of false
memory that you want. There is absolutely no limit on the quantity,
complexity, reality, congruence, plausibility of false memories that
you can insert in somebody's mind-wittingly or unwittingly. So-
they didn't tell me that in medical school. This is a little sub
paradigm revolution in the DID field. There is a huge wealth of
information, experimental information, clinical anecdotal
information, and operational street smarts knowledge of DID that's
been up and running and full tilt in the mental health field for 50
years now. This did not spring out of nowhere in 1980, and we are
missing a ton of experimental research data that's still classified
that bears directly on this false memory debate that is going on in
our society now. And you will see some of the players in this whole
scenario of interesting people. (If we could put the slide projector
on)
Every slide that I will show you is in your handout packet, so you
don't have to take notes. Anybody who is listening to the tape-there
are also a few examples of the documents. If you want that
information, you can call me at Charter Hospital at 1-800-255-3312
and we can just mail that to you. The first point is that there are a
lot of documented declassified mind control research programs that
are completely objectively proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. I
have a lot of this material and some I have on order. This is CIA
now. Bluebird and Artichoke were two programs that ran from
1951-53 and I will read you some stuff from Artichoke in a minute.
These were then rolled over into MKULTRA which ran from 1953
to 1963 and then there are 149 sub-projects that you will see a
listing of in a second. That was then administratively rolled over
into MKSEARCH which ran until 1973. Contiguously with that,
and in collaboration with Edgeware Arsenal, MKNAOMI which
involved MKULTRA, ARTICHOKE and BLUEBIRD type research
done abroad and nationally ran from 1953 to 1970. This involves
all kinds of hallucinogens, hypnosis and so on that I will go into in
detail. STARGATE just recently declassified E.S.P., paranormal,
remote viewing military uses of telekinesis type research that was
done from an uncertain start date up until 1984. Bill Gates, former
Director of the CIA on ABC's Dateline in December of 1995 said
that it ran up until 1984. They had one of the academic contractors
to STARGATE on the show and they had the man whose job was
CIA oversight of military experimentation under STARGATE. So
this really went on, they really used psychics operationally and they
believed in it enough to keep spending millions of dollars on it for
several decades probably. Now when you read all the Senate
materials from the 1970's and you read all the existing literature,
the claim of the intelligence community was that all this mind
control research was stopped in 1973 due to Senate oversight and
so on. One of the MKULTRA sub-projects is on the paranormal,
esp and using esp for covert operations purposes. That element of
MKULTRA didn't stop in 1973. We now know from the CIA itself
that it ran on until 1984. So we know for a fact that at least that
element of this mind control research program that was said to have
stopped in 1973, continued to 1984. My position is that it is simply
implausible that this stuff isn't ongoing up to the present.
You can see from this list (Projects Chatter, Often, Derbyhat, Third
Chance, Chickwit, MKDelta and QK Hilltop) that there was a large
number of different programs in the 1950's, 60's and 70's ... all of
which have a just a little tidbit of information about them. Most of
the actual documents and so on, nobody has either reviewed or
obtained through the Freedom of Information Act yet. So this is a
huge amount of, as yet still classified information. Now we are
going to give you a smattering run-through of the institutions that
were sites for MKULTRA research. In MKULTRA there were 149
different sub-projects and these were not in obscure little corners of
the world. This is the American Psychological Association, this is
the Butler Hospital Health Centre which is part of Harvard,
Children's International Summer Village ... this is a charming place
... this is a project involving a study of children at an international
summer camp aged 11 and the study of how children who don't
share a common language communicate and in the CIA report it
states that the investigator was unwitting of the fact that it was CIA
funding and the purpose of the CIA in these 11 year olds was that
they might possibly identify promising young foreign nationals for
future use by the Agency. Columbia University, Cornell, Denver,
Emory, Florida, George Washington, Harvard. This will give you a
feel for who is involved in this stuff. Houston, Illinois, Indiana
Universities, Johns Hopkins, Eli Lilly was the big supplier of LSD
to the CIA. Those of you who can remember the sixties might
remember the "House of the Rising Sun" by the British rock group,
The Animals. They had a song called "The Girl Named Sandoz".
Sandoz was the employer of Hoffman who discovered LSD in the
forties, and Sandoz was the original supplier of LSD to the CIA
and the military in the 1950's and they wanted a secure American
supplier so they contracted with Eli Lilly to become the developer.
University of Minnesota, New Jersey Reformatory, Bordentown in
Tennessee ... Ohio, University of Pennsylvania, Penn State,
Princeton, Stanford, a couple of universities in Texas, Wisconsin,
the Bureau of Narcotics, a prison, a narcotics farm. So these
contracts ... McGill, NIH, NIMH, National Philosophical Society ...
everything and everybody gets in on the act a little. NRC. So these
were all of the major players in North American psychiatry and
psychology who were receiving this kind of funding. Office of
Naval Research ... which you are going to see multiple times on the
slides. Worcester Foundation for Experimental Biology ... all kinds
of different agencies and groups. MKSEARCH was the one that
MKULTRA was rolled into. It ran from 1963 to 1973. Again
Bureau of Narcotics, New Jersey Neuropsychiatric which is also an
MKULTRA site which I will talk about in more detail. Vacaville
State Prison which you are going to hear a whole bunch about.
Now BLUEBIRD and ARTICHOKE which were 1951-53 ...
institutions there include the Bureau of Narcotics, Cornell, Eli
Lilly again, NIH, Public Health Service, University of Minnesota ...
you get the idea. Now what about the proven identity of some of
the actual contractors? The terminology here is ... we've got the
contractor and we've got the sub-project number and I have most of
the sub- contract files. Security status ... TS means top secret
cleared, UW means unwitting because this money was usually put
through a funding front and you will see a slide showing how that
was all organized so a person could get money through a CIA
funding front and genuinely not know it was CIA money. They
would just think it was another Foundation. Most of the people
you haven't heard of like James Hamilton, Harold Abramson, Carl
Pfeiffer, but you will hear more about them later today. Some of
these people might sound a little familiar ... Louis Jolyon West at
UCLA, Ewen Cameron who was at McGill, he's been written about
a lot, and yes this is Carl Rogers of Rogerian psychotherapy fame.
He was actually a spook psychiatrist with top secret clearance who
was on the Advisory Board of one of the funding fronts and
received funding for psychotherapeutic research on schizophrenia.
It's a very funny thing that Mr. Friendly Carl was in the network.
Martin Orne, you will hear a lot about him. These people were at
University of Oklahoma. They were doing research on street gangs.
Four of the MKULTRA sub-projects were on children and all of
the investigators for those were UW unwitting. Martin Orne's top
secret clearance status. Maitland Baldwin who did stuff on monkey
brains. George White was a CIA career officer who constructed safe
houses in San Francisco and New York where people were
recruited in off the streets to have sex with prostitutes and were
given LSD and other drugs without their knowing it. The rationale
for this was that they were attempting to study reaction of unwitting
subjects in civilian settings to mind control drugs. An alternative
hypothesis to this was that they were actually testing Manchurian
candidate prostitute performance. Harold Wolff was at Cornell.
Raymond Prince I have corresponded with. He was UW unwitting.
He did research among the Aruba in Nigeria on their folk healing
practices. R. Gordon Watson-I was a little bit unhappy to see him
on the list, but relieved to see he was unwitting because I read a
book of his called "SOMA: Divine Mushrooms of Immortality" ... a
very interesting book on Fly Agrate which is the little red toadstool
with the white flakes on it. The use of that by circumpolar shamans
has a very interesting history. John Mulholland is actually a
magician. When you go through these documents, all these names
are whited out. You have to piece it together from here and there.
It's a great big story trying to track it all down. Except they goofed
it up. John Mulholland was not whited out once. When you get a
file on one of these sub-projects, there is usually a page in there
that has standardized wording about no individuals associated with
this project are witting or so and so whose name is whited out has
top secret clearance and is aware of agency involvement. There's
somebody you have probably heard of. His name is B.F. Skinner. I
am still doing some of the archival research to find out what his
sub-project number is, and what his security status is but I would
suspect it will turn out to be top secret. Just before we get to that
slide, I am going to read you some material, some of which is in
your handout. As you can see, these slides are going to show you
an awful lot of connections between an awful lot of different things
here. You get the gist ... there were a lot of different sub-projects, a
lot of different investigators all over mainstream academia. Now I
am going to jump to proving to you that MPD has been created by
the CIA and the military since WWII. The first stop off point is at
the back of your series of handouts there. It's a publication called
"Science Digest, April 1971", the author is G.H. Estabrooks. The
article is called "Hypnosis Comes of Age". When you go to page
48, I am going to read this out loud for the benefit of people
listening to this on tape. He's now writing, in 1971, and says the
following: "One of the most fascinating but dangerous applications
of hypnosis is its use in military intelligence. This is a field with
which I am familiar through formulating guidelines for the
techniques used by the United States in two world wars." (Ross:
For those of you who are not history buffs, that means at least back
to 1914.) "Communication in war is always a headache. Codes can
be broken. A professional spy may or may not stay bought. Your
own man may have unquestionable loyalty but his judgment is
always open to question. The "hypnotic courier" on the other hand,
provides a unique solution. I was involved in preparing many
subjects for this work during World War II. One successful case
involved an Army Service Corps Captain whom we'll call George
Smith. Captain Smith had undergone months of training. He was an
excellent subject but did not realize it. I had removed from him, by
post-hypnotic suggestion, all recollection of ever having been
hypnotized. First I had the Service Corps call the captain to
Washington and tell him they needed a report on the mechanical
equipment of Division X headquartered in Tokyo. Smith was
ordered to leave by jet next morning, pick up the report and return
at once. These orders were given him in the waking state.
Consciously, that was all he knew, and it was the story he gave his
wife and friends. Then I put him under deep hypnosis, and gave
him-orally-a vital message to be delivered directly on his arrival in
Japan to a certain colonel-let's say his name was Brown-of military
intelligence. Outside of myself, Colonel Brown was the only
person who could hypnotize Captain Smith. This is "locking".
(Ross: I have had patients talk to me about "locking".) I performed
it by saying to the hypnotized Captain: 'Until further orders from
me, only Colonel Brown and I can hypnotize you. We will use a
signal phrase 'the moon is clear'. Whenever you hear this phrase
from Brown or myself you will pass instantly into deep hypnosis.'
When Captain Smith re-awakened, he had no conscious memory of
what happened in trance. All that he was aware of was that he must
head for Tokyo to pick up a division report. On arrival there, Smith
reported to Brown, who hypnotized him with the signal phrase.
Under hypnosis, Smith delivered my message and received one to
bring back. Awakened, he was given the division report and
returned home by jet. There I hypnotized him once more with the
signal phrase, and he spieled off Brown's answer that had been
dutifully tucked away in his unconscious mind. The system is
virtually foolproof. As exemplified by this case, the information
literally was "locked" in Smith's unconscious for retrieval by the
only two people who knew the combination. The subject had no
conscious memory of what happened, so couldn't spill the beans.
No one else could hypnotize him even if they might know the
signal phrase. Not all applications of hypnotism to military
intelligence are as tidy as that. Perhaps you have read 'The Three
Faces of Eve'. (Ross: Now here he makes a scholarly mistake
because he's talking about Morton Prince's "The Dissociation of a
Personality" but he refers to the book "The Three Faces of Eve".)
The book was based on a case reported in 1905 by Dr. Morton
Prince of Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard. He startled
everyone in the field by announcing that he had cured a woman
named Beauchamp of a split personality problem. Using post-
hypnotic suggestion to submerge an incompatible, childlike facet of
the patient, he'd been able to make two other sides of Mrs.
Beauchamp compatible, and lump them together in a single
cohesive personality. Clinical hypnotists throughout the world
jumped on the multiple personality bandwagon as a fascinating
frontier. By the 1920's, not only had they learned to apply post-
hypnotic suggestion to deal with this weird problem, but also had
learned how to split certain complex individuals (Ross: a very
interesting phrase) into multiple personalities like Jeckyll-Hydes.
The potential for military intelligence has been nightmarish. During
World War II, I worked this technique with a vulnerable Marine
lieutenant I'll call Jones. Under the watchful eye of Marine
Intelligence, I split her personality into Jones A and Jones B. Jones
A, once a "normal" working Marine, became entirely different. He
talked communist doctrine and meant it. He was welcomed
enthusiastically by communist cells, was deliberately given a
dishonorable discharge by the Corps, which was in on the plot,
(Ross: that's called "sheep-dipping", that's the technical term for
that) and became a card-carrying party member. The joker was
Jones B, the second personality, formerly apparent in the conscious
Marine. Under hypnosis, this Jones had been carefully coached by
suggestion. Jones B was the deeper personality, knew all the
thoughts of Jones A, was a loyal American and was "imprinted" to
say nothing during conscious phases. All I had to do was hypnotize
the whole man, get in touch with Jones B, the loyal American, and I
had a pipeline straight into the Communist camp. It worked
beautifully for months with this subject, but the technique
backfired. While there was no way for an enemy to expose Jones'
dual personality, they suspected it, and played the same trick on us
later. Now the only question becomes 'is Estabrooks some sort of
kook'? Maybe he didn't really do this, maybe he's grandiose, or
delusional, or just bullshitting, or whatever. So let's take a look at
who G.H. Estabrooks is. How are we going to do that? We are
going to talk to a JFK assassination researcher who tells us that
Estabrooks' personal papers are all at Colgate College in Hamilton
in Upper State New York-that there's a whole bunch of boxfulls of
all his personal papers, his correspondence, his files, and so on. So
what we will do is send our secretary up there for five days to go
through those 17 boxes which are un-indexed, un-researched and
unpublished in any form and then we will request a bunch of that
material to be photocopied and we will bring it back to our office
in Richardson, Texas -- we will look at it, and then we will talk
about it in Orange County, California later on. What we find is
G.H. Estabrooks was born in Newfoundland in Canada-so he is
already suspect because he is Canadian. He is not really too dumb,
he's a Rhodes Scholar. He ends up studying, I am pretty sure, under
Gardner Murphy at Harvard, takes a Ph.D. and spends really his
entire adult professional career at this obscure Colgate College in
Upper State New York. So is he just an isolated kook, or is he
connected in any way? Well as I am going through all this military
mind control research in the library, I am aware that Martin Orne,
who we will get to in a while, is one of the people I want to focus
in on. And I notice in one of Martin Orne's papers that he has
referenced G.H. Estabrooks' 1942 textbook, which I have read,
where he describes creating Manchurian candidates for the military,
so I know that Martin Orne is aware of G.H. Estabrooks' claim to
have created MPD. Can I establish any better connection than that?
Well lo and behold I find that G.H. Estabrooks edited a book to
which Martin Orne contributed a chapter. So now, Martin Orne is
totally connected into the whole picture as you will see later, but if
you go to a couple of pages ahead of that material which I just read,
you will see a letter from G.H. Estabrooks dated August 22, 1961:
"Dear Martin, I am sending to thee a special delivery, one halo -
pure gold, one pair of wings which you can try on for size, and a
credit card for use in the hereafter. Your article is, of course,
excellent. Upon receipt of your letter, I immediately called
Mittendorff, and he informed me before I could even broach the
subject that they would of course grant your request for reprints.
Some day I am going to have myself examined and find out why I
do not consider these matters before I embarrass my friends. By the
way, I will be at the APA meetings on Friday and Saturday,
September 1st and 2nd, then I will have to whip back here and head
south. If at all possible, I will be up at the Biltmore. If you and Ron
(which is Ron Shore?) are anywhere in the vicinity, let us sit down
and yack at each other. I am not overlooking the fact that our
meeting at Cambridge with yourself and Ron sort of crystallized an
idea in my mind. I had a wonderful month's vacation in Canada -
Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec City, Murray Basin(?)sp, St. John, N.B.,
and home - and we particularly liked the French country. My wife's
native language is French, although she speaks Italian, English and
German as well. I find that with her along, the red carpet is literally
rolled out and we see corners of the back country where they would
set the dogs on me if I happened to turn up alone. Thank you
tremendously. Hope to see you at the APA. My best regards to
Ron." So it seems these guys knew each other.
Now if you turn over to the next page, Colgate University
Symposium on Hypnosis, April 1 and 2, 1960 in Hamilton, New
York, opening address by G.H. Estabrooks, Chairman. The papers
are E. R. Hilgard, author of the NeoDissociation Book which is a
foundation of the entire field here, member of the DSM IV
Dissociative Disorders Committee, Ron Shore, frequent co-author
with Martin Orne, Gorton (I don't know), C.M.R. Fisher, I have
seen his name going through different stuff, Wolberg, I have seen
his name around, the behavioural guy I think, Martin Orne, G.H.
Estabrooks, Oh who's that guy? Oh, Milton Erickson? Yeah, I've
heard of him. So ... this G.H. Estabrooks is not just some isolated
kook. He is a pretty connected in, well-known guy and all the
luminaries in hypnosis in this part of the 20th century know him
personally, are corresponding with him on a friendly basis and are
coming to workshops he put on and publishing books he has
edited. So much for the isolated kook theory. Well, maybe he was
just kind of bragging a bit, and he wasn't really connected to the
military. Well. Bad news. A couple of pages back, you see on
stationery of the War Department, Office of the Secretary,
Washington, D.C., dated February 20, 1942 the name of George H.
Estabrooks, Nature of Action, Accepted Appointment. Expert
Consultant to the Secretary of War without other compensation
with the payment of actual transportation expenses and not to
exceed $10 per diem in lieu of subsistence and other expenses. So
he definitely had a Military Intelligence appointment in the Second
World War. Turn over the next page. Now we've got Navy
Department, Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, D.C. From
the Director of Naval Research Laboratory to Professor G.H.
Estabrooks via Inspector of Naval Materials, Syracuse, New York.
Subject: Information on Military Uses of Hypnosis; Request for:
enclosed three copies of receipt for classified matter and return
addressed envelope. "The Naval Research Laboratory has received a
request for information regarding the possible military uses of
hypnosis. This request comes from a Naval Officer who is primarily
interested in hypnosis as a possible facilitator of training, but also
wishes to know about any other uses which may have been tested.
Members of the Psychology Branch of this Laboratory have
discussed the matter informally with several psychologists versed in
hypnosis, including Dr. Robert White of Harvard University. (Ross:
which is where Martin Orne did his residency.) Dr. White thought
that you had done some experimental work on a person during the
war and requested that the Naval Research Laboratory communicate
with you. If you have done any work along this line, would you
please let us know the purpose and results of your investigations.
We have been unable to find any mention of such a project in the
Washington files of the Armed Services, and so we must trouble
you directly for information. Thank you for your consideration at
this enquiry." So we know that we've got very secret documents
which are not readily available to the usual classified Military
personnel looking through their own filing system. So we know
he's not an isolated kook. We know he had a Military appointment.
We know he's connected in with all the major hypnotists and we
know that he's claiming from 1943 through 1971 to have created
Manchurian candidates successfully for operational use during
WWII. Is there any other correspondence that might bear on the
reality of his claims? Well, there's a whole bunch of
correspondence back and forth spanning the 1930's to the 1960's
(that is, spanning four decades) between him and some guy called J.
Edgar Hoover. So you'll see on Federal Bureau of Investigation
stationery, July 12, 1939: "Dear Dr. Estabrooks: Permit me to
acknowledge receipt of your letters of June 19th and 27th and July
6th, 1939. I read with great interest the hypothesis which you put
forward concerning the sinking of submarines. I realize of course
(Ross: and this was the Military use of hypnosis scheme for
sinking submarines) that you are only suggesting things that could
conceivably happen upon the basis of your experiments and the
experiments of others and you are not suggesting that such a
situation actually did occur in any of the recent submarine
disasters." 1962: "Dear Dr. Estabrooks: Your letter of February
27th with enclosures has been received, and it was good of you to
advise me of the Symposium you have scheduled. I appreciate your
inviting us to participate; however the pressure of official business
will not permit me to designate a representative to attend." Now, in
between those two letters, there is massive correspondence back
and forth between J. Edgar Hoover and Estabrooks. There are visits
of FBI personnel to Estabrooks. There are many Military and FBI
psychological warfare personnel attending various workshops and
symposia of Estabrooks, and there is overt discussion of offensive
uses of hypnosis in clandestine operations. So, from this, I
conclude that probably G.H. Estabrooks actually did create MPD in
World War II and that an awful lot of people knew about it. Well
maybe it was just G.H. Estabrooks and that was the end of the
story. We have to have some other body of evidence that indicates
that this continued beyond World War II. And this is material that
is not in your packet, that's from Operation Artichoke and
Bluebird, CIA Mind Control research from 1951-53. I am going to
read you some Artichoke and Bluebird documents that were
obtained through the Freedom of Information Act. A lot of stuff is
whited out, so I will just say blank whenever it is necessary to do
so. To the Files. On 6th April, 1954, Tuesday, SI&H (Ross: I
haven't figured out what SI is, H is hypnosis) Experimentation and
Research was carried on in Building 13 with the following subjects
present: Mrs. __ , in addition to Misses ______. ______ attended
in a consultant capacity. (Ross: one of these Misses was age 19
according to the document). The session opened with slow
induction for all hands, and then a subsequent induction for Miss
____ to enable her to reconstruct a strange dream she had had the
previous week. This was successful, although in the wake state she
could remember no details. The major experiment of this evening
was then conducted as follows. Miss ____ was taken to Room 23
under full hypnosis and she was instructed by the writer that she
would find a secret document in or on Mr. X at desk in his room.
She was told that she was to conceal this document next to her
person and then she was to return to Room 21, Operations Room,
pour herself a drink of water which she would find on a bookcase,
and then stretch out on the sofa, face down and go into a deep
sleep. She was instructed she would not awaken under any
circumstances. She was told she would only awaken if somebody
whispered to her a specific code word and would recall nothing
except sleeping on the couch. Miss ____ performed the entire test
in exact as detail outlined above and had no subsequent memory
whatsoever of any of this activity. During the experiment Miss
____ was taken to the same room and she was told that a person
whom she had never seen had taken a secret document from the
Agency. She was told that this person or suspected person had been
given a drug and was unconscious on the sofa in Room 21. She was
told she was to enter the room and find the document which would
probably be on the person on the sofa. She was given specific
instructions that she must locate the document. She was told that if
she found the document, she was to conceal it on her person and
return to Room 23, sit in the chair, and go at once into a deep
sleep. She was further told that she would have no memory other
than falling asleep. Miss ____ complied in specific detail and
immediately discovered the document in ____'s sweater sleeve.
Miss ____ concealed the document on her person, returned to
Room 23 and at once went into a deep sleep. Subsequently she was
brought back into the Operations Room and she and _____ were
awakened. The experiment was carried off successfully, particularly
by _______ with entire amnesia of the work, and cannot even recall
it under hypnosis. ____ however was able to remember a certain
part, though some of her details seemed vague." Here's another
separate Artichoke document. "3. Agents might be given cover
stories under hypnosis and not only learn them faultlessly, but
believe them. Every detail could be made to sink in. The conviction
and apparent sincerity with which an individual will defend a false
identity given as post-hypnotic suggestion is almost unbelievable.
One's memory for detail under such conditions appears to be
boundless. Analogous Case #3. A CIA Security Office employee
was hypnotized and given a false identity. She defended it hotly,
denying her true name and rationalizing with conviction the
possession of identity cards made out to her real self. Later, having
had the false identity erased by suggestion, she was asked if she
had ever heard of the name she had been defending as her own five
minutes before. She thought and shook her head and said, 'That's a
pseudo if I ever heard one.' Apparently she had a true amnesia for
the entire episode." "4. Hypnosis would make the recruitment and
handling of high level political action agents, in particular under
ideal control. Convictions could be reinforced, political courses
suggested, appointments influenced, and with a really good subject
only the imagination and skill of the handling operator and the
inherent limitations of hypnosis as a technique would limit the
possibilities. Double agents could be both discovered and used
with a much higher degree of assurance if hypnotic control
sufficient to permit regression were operative. They could be given
suggestions which would have the force of true compulsions to tell
if approach was made, targets, briefing, true identity, etc. There is
also the possibility that such persons could be used under control
much stronger than any we now possess." So that's experimental
use. It's clearly creation of Manchurian candidates, there is no
question whatsoever. This is now in operational use in the United
States. This is not Manchurian candidates, but it's the use of
sodium amytal and hypnosis for the creation of amnesia barriers
and deliberate insertion of false memories. "To Director of Security
Via Deputy Director of Security Via Chief Security Research Staff
from _____. Subject: Report of Artichoke Operations 20-23
January 1955. Between Thursday 20 January and Sunday 23
January 1955, the Security Office Artichoke Team conducted a
special operations _____. In the opinion of Team Members, in this
case Officers of the _____, the Artichoke operation was successful.
Details follow. It should be noted at this point that because these
operations were the first Artichoke Operations undertaken in the
USA, which is a violation of the CIA's Charter, the full names of
those participating are omitted from this report and will not be
revealed without consent of the Security Office. First names, titles,
or pseudonyms will be used throughout this report. In view of the
highly sensitive nature of the Artichoke techniques and in view of
the fact that this was the first Artichoke operation carried out in the
USA, the operation was conducted _______. This Safe House is far
removed from surrounding neighbours, it is a large tract of land,
and is thoroughly isolated. A limited, and security-cleared
household staff maintain functions of the House and ____ by
unwitting ______ Actual Artichoke operations as usual were
carried out in a special area on the second floor of the House, and
neither the household staff nor the _____ were permitted in the
area during any of the processing. SSD Division furnished one
security officer during the entire period of the operation to act as
special guard and to handle any unusual situations which arose
during the operation. This guard is hereinafter referred to as ____
in this report. For a matter of record, it should be noted that the
subject was not a confinement problem, and has been at all times
fully cooperative. Guard detail was not present in connection with
the subject, except in a general sense. Technical matters in the case
were handled entirely by the TBPSD under the personal
supervision of _____. Full tape recordings were made of the entire
case, and tapes are to be turned over to the participating Division in
the immediate future. It should be noted that during this particular
operation, a special device was used in conjunction with the
recording. This device, which is easily concealable, worked with
remarkable efficiency and at no time during the entire recording
was there any break due to technical failure. It should al so be
noted that a complex two-way transmitting/receiving unit was again
used in this Artichoke operation. Cover for the actual operation
followed standard procedure. The subject was informed in general
terms that before being sent for further work it was necessary that
certain tests be made on him physically and psychologically as well
as his. Hence a complete physical and psychological/psychiatric
examination was acquired. Subject readily accepted this medical
cover and the Artichoke technique was introduced easily and with
the full consent of the subject. The Case: Prior to the
commencement of the actual Artichoke operation, a number of
conferences had been held with the various participating personnel
involved. All hands had been briefed and procedures had been
worked out. A general time schedule was prepared and operating
instructions for Artichoke were issued. On the afternoon of the
20th of January the subject and _______ They were met by
________ of the interested Division. Under a covert car subject was
taken to the _____, arriving there at approximately 9:30 pm. Prior
to this, that is during the day of 20th of January, the technical
equipment had been checked out and installed, and _____ had
arrived at the covert area at approximately 8 pm for operational
purposes. By previous arrangement the _____ was picked up by
_____ at approximately 9:30 pm. _____ was brought to the Safe
House at 10:50 pm. Shortly after the arrival of ____, a preliminary
conference began at approximately 11:10 pm with the subject.
Interrogation lasted until 12:25 am when all except the subject
____ left the Operations Room. Tape recording was cut off at this
time. As a result of this interview _____ stated that subject's mental
and physical condition was good and noted that the pulse (Ross:
which is actually the blood pressure) at 12:25 am was 120/80
(Ross: so these guys are not total wizards). The doctor also
commented he had noticed an increased amount of talk after a drink
of whiskey and although there was some nervousness present, it
was not excessive. _____ stated he had given subject two grams of
anibarbitol to the subject to assist him to sleep and it was later
confirmed the subject had taken this prior to going to sleep. (Ross:
a half a paragraph is whited out.) Because of the successful
penetration and because of the extremely high quality of
information which the subject was obtaining, the case is regarded
as most sensitive and important by the participating Division. Since
the subject's information had be en checked and cross-checked
many times by the Operating Division's Case Officers, and the
Division was of the uniform opinion that the subject was fully
legitimate and fully cooperating with our efforts; they however
desired Artichoke to give added assurance to the subject's story and
to help them determine absolute suitability for further use of the
subject in his work. For the record, it should be noted that no
polygraph techniques had been applied in this case, since a
physical examination by _____ apparently a cleared physician had
indicated too much nervousness for successful polygraph testing.
Following established patterns using medical cover as explained
above, the ____ began a physical and psychological examination at
10 am on the morning of Friday 21 January. This examination
continued until l pm when an hour was taken for lunch. At 2 pm
_____ again continued the general examination of the subject with
_____ being used, as before lunch, as interpreter. This examination
lasted until 3 pm when the ____ concluded the first medical
session and a portable polygraph was taken in by ____ for the
purpose of polygraph testing. (Ross: there's a bunch of blanked out
stuff.) On Saturday 22 January 1955 subject had breakfast with
____. At 9:35 am ____ arrived at the Safe House and at 9:45 am
____ arrived. At 10:35 am the subject again, with ____ acting as
interpreter, was examined briefly by Dr. ______. At 10:50 am
_____ left the operations area and began polygraph testing. This
examination lasted until 12:37 pm when it was concluded. (Ross:
then it goes on ... I'll skip a little bit.) Subject was taken into the
Special Operations Room with only the ____ present and at 2:36
pm the first intravenous infusion began. Slow injections were
continued until 2:46 pm when the ____ signaled that the subject
was fully affected by the chemicals and at this time special
recording and transmitting equipment was brought into the
Operations Room. Also at this time ____ left the room and ____
entered. From this point until approximately 4:15 pm when the
interrogations ended, Artichoke techniques were applied. These
techniques, which followed a previously agreed-upon plan, were in
three stages: (Ross: this is now deliberate implantation of false
memories.) A. A fantasy which ______. Results during this phase
were good and subject had no control. Time approximately 15-20
minutes. B. A fantasy in which _____. Results were again very
good. Time approximately 40-45 minutes. C. Following
development of the fantasies as noted above, the subject was more
or less directly interrogated by _____, and ____ introduced as
_____. Results only fair, although subject had little control. Time
approximately 15 minutes. Immediately following the conclusion of
the Artichoke treatments, a general conference was held with all
hands present. It was agreed at this time that further Artichoke
treatments were unnecessary, that results were as conclusive .. that
in view of the subject's importance, additional work with chemicals
or with the H technique might possibly antagonize the subject,
hence would be unwarranted and unwise. Following the conclusion
of the general discussion all technical apparatus was removed from
the premises, and all participating personnel with the exception of
_____ left the area after the ____ had checked the subject. On
Sunday 23 January between approximately twelve noon and l:30
pm, the _____ returned to the Safe House and again re-examined
the physical and mental condition of the subject. At this time the
subject reported he had slept fairly well but he had a persistent
headache. The _____ pointed out that the headache was a natural
consequence of the "examination" and it would gradually
disappear. In addition the ____ wrote a prescription which was to
be picked up in another name for future use by the subject as a
general sedative. At 1:50 pm approximately _____ left the Safe
House and the subject was turned over for handling to Case
Officers of his participating Division. CONCLUSIONS: In the
opinion of the Artichoke Team the operation was profitable and
successful. In this case the subject was aware that he had been
given certain types of solutions but as to what he had been given or
amounts given, he had no knowledge. Checks were made by ___
and later ____ and apparently indicated that the subject, although
not having specific amnesia for the Artichoke treatment,
nevertheless was completely confused and his memory was vague
and faulty. This vagueness and failure of memory was intensified
by the _____ explanation that the subject had been dreaming an
opinion which it appeared the subject shared in part." Ross: So
that's obviously operational use of sophisticated mind control
amnesia inducing and false memory implanting techniques in the
USA in the 1950's by the CIA. It's part of a broad program of mind
control research, experimentation and operational use which
included the creation of Manchurian Candidates. So this is why I
say that I conclude that it's an established fact that the CIA and the
military have been creating Manchurian Candidates for operational
use since World War II at least into the 1950's, and that it's not
plausible denial in my mind to claim that it all stopped in 1973.
How did this whole network get constructed, and how does it work
and how is it supported? We are going to take several steps beyond
Oliver Stone in terms of level of conspiracy theory, but that's not
the point of the talk. The conspiracy theory is interesting to get
into, but what I actually believe is that there isn't a conspiracy. I
think that the Intelligence Community itself is a polyfragmented
entity with Dissociative Identity Disorder, and that there is no
single Executive Host Function. There is no little where everybody
has it all planned out and under control. That it works sort of as
Neural Network with no Executive Host Function, and that these
Old Boys talk to these Old Boys who know this, who don't know
this, know that, it's this kind of Network Model and that's what you
see on the slide. And all these slides are going to look like this. I
am going to walk you now through all these interconnections in
this Network as I said all of which are documented, and tell you
about some of the history, and talk about some of the ethical
problems that arise. As a matter of general background now, this
slide is called "Funding Fronts for CIA Mind Control Research".
MKULTRA, you have already seen, was from 1953 to 1963. The
major funding fronts for MKULTRA were the Human Ecology
Foundation that Carl Rogers was on the Board of; the Josiah
Macey Jr. Foundation, and the Geshickter Fund. Charles
Geshickter was one of the MKULTRA contractors himself. So what
happened was the CIA would have its budget who would pop
money over to the Human Ecology Foundation ... HEF would put
out a call for grants and people would then submit applications. So
it looks like a normal funding foundation, and some people were
unwitting and just thought they were applying for a grant, and other
people knew perfectly well there was a front, the technical terms for
these kinds of funds was a "Cutout". HEF, Josiah Macey Jr. and
Geshickter were CIA cutouts. This Geshickter Fund was
interesting. One of the MKULTRA projects that they funded was
the construction of the Gorman Annex at the George Washington
University Hospital in Washington, D.C. You have to remember
that the military and the CIA are federal bureaucracies. You
anticipate the behaviour of federal bureaucracies in general when
you are looking into their history and operations. So what they did
was through MKULTRA they funded to Geshickter who then
funded out to the contractor money to build the Gorman Annex as
an addition to the hospital. Since this was money coming from a
private foundation, it generated matching funds from another sector
of the federal government. So the CIA got to double its budget by
sucking its money out of unwitting civilian areas of the federal
purse. What was the Gorman Annex for? It was for mind control
experimentation on terminal cancer patients. Three career officers,
CIA biochemists, were employed at the Gorman Annex under full
cover. This is not completely above board and ethical behaviour. So
Carl Rogers who is on the board of the Human Ecology Foundation
is himself an MKULTRA contractor and his specific projects have
got this MKULTRA grant application ... I've got him on the Board
of the HEF, I've got the description of his project that was funded
through MKULTRA, and I've got the publication flowing from the
project that exactly matches the grant application, and in the
published paper, he acknowledges funding from the Human
Ecology Foundation. So it's a completely documented closed loop.
Josiah Macey Jr. Foundation. Who was on the Board? An
interesting fellow named Daniel X. Friedman. Daniel X. Friedman
was the Editor of the Archives of the Journal of Psychiatry from
1970 until his death in 1993. The Archives of the Journal of
Psychiatry is the most referenced psychiatric journal in the world,
by far. In other words, if you do citation index searches of
references of published psychiatry papers, that is it's an indexing of
all the published papers in all the psychiatry journals in the world
(the number of references to articles published in the Journal of
Psychiatry is 7x the number of the next psychiatry journal in the
world. So this "the" number one great big place to publish. It is very
biomedical reductionist and it's virtually impossible to get a
dissociative paper published in there. So these people, like Daniel
Friedman, who are in network, are incredibly influential, powerful,
controlling people in terms of the history of psychiatry, what gets
funded, what gets reviewed, what gets published, who gets
appointments, etc etc etc. It's all part of a very powerful tight
structured network. MKULTRA connects itself up to Allen Dulles
which connects us back to Human Ecology over to Harold Wolff
and back to Allen Dulles. How does that work? Allen Dulles was
the Director of the CIA from 1953 to 1961. He has the longest-
running tenure as DCIA-Director of Central Intelligency Agency. In
World War II he was employed by the OSS - Offices of Strategic
Services - which is the pre-cursor of the CIA which was run by a
guy called Wild Bill Donovan. He was stationed in Switzerland and
was heavily involved in, obviously since the enemy was the
Germans and the allies were the Russians, in the War he was
supposed to be working with the Russians against the Germans
which he did. However, when you read the history of the OSS in
World War II, in the last years of the War, the Cold War was
already being deliberately planned out and set up by the
Intelligence Agencies, and it was already apparent to the
Intelligence Agencies that things were going to flip - that Germany
would become the Allies an d Russia would become the enemy.
There was an awful lot of jockeying about whether the Germans
were going to surrender in North Italy before the Russians got to
Yugoslavia - so there were now negotiations with the Germans -
because if they agreed to surrender early - before the Russians got
there - then there would be such-and-such a payoff which would
secure the area for the Allies so they wouldn't be taken over by the
Russians. There was all this jockeying going on, all this intrigue,
communications between the OSS and some of Hitler's generals.
The arch-enemy spymaster, who Allen Dulles was fighting against
was Reinhard Gehlen who was head of German Intelligence in the
Eastern Front, which means Russia. At the end of World War II,
Allen Dulles recruited Reinhard Gehlen to become the Head of that
Division of the CIA's operations against Russia. This is a totally
established fact. Harold Wolff who was the Head of the Human
Ecology Foundation, was a neurologist at Cornell. When Allen
Dulles' son received a head wound in the Korean War, he was
brought back to the USA and treated by Harold Wolff. You start to
get a feel for why I call this an Old Boys' Network. Let's come
down here to MKULTRA-we're over at hallucinogens. A lot of
MKULTRA subprojects had to with funding LSD and other
hallucinogens. A person who did a lot of hallucinogen research and
published a lot of hallucinogen research was Daniel Friedman.
Hallucinogen research also connects us down to Loretta Bender.
Loretta Bender is the much-revered author of "The Bender Gestalt".
Now look at these three names: Loretta Bender, Paul Hawk and
Ewen Cameron. You will see that each of these names (they are all
supposed to connect to the American Journal of Psychiatry
obituaries). Ewen Cameron, Paul Hawk and Loretta had their
obituaries in the American Journal of Psychiatry. So these are
revered people, who are being honoured posthumously by the
flagship Journal of the American Psychiatric Association. It's
actually Stella Chess who writes the obituary for Loretta Bender,
very glowing, what a wonderful contributor to child psychiatry,
what a pioneer ... well, sh e forgot to mention in the obituary - in a
publication that I have in my Loretta Bender file that I got from a
medical school library - Loretta Bender describes giving 150 mcg
per day to children ages 7-11 years for days, weeks, months and in
some cases, even years in a row. This would not get through an
Ethics Committee. This is discussed at a CIA sponsored
symposium on LSD. Paul Hawk, anybody ever hear of a disorder
called Borderline Personality Disorder? Hawk and Pollett(sp) in
1949 Psychiatric Quarterly, Pseudo Neurotic Forms of
Schizophrenia - these people are on the borderline between
neurosis and schizophrenia - we call it pseudoneurotic
schizophrenia because they are on the borderline. It's one of the
reasons why the word "borderline" caught on.
Well he did hallucinogen research in New York for the military,
and it had one unfortunate side effect - he killed Harold Blauer(sp)
a tennis pro, in 1953, with an injection of Army mescaline and the
family was eventually compensated for that. He's big-time
connected into all the hallucinogen research by the military, CIA,
and he's at many different CIA-sponsored conferences. Ewen
Cameron, former Head of the Quebec Psychiatric Association, the
Canadian Psychiatric Association, the American Psychiatric
Association, the World Psychiatric Association - in fact, the
founder of the World Psychiatric Association - and also one-time
President of the Association for Biological Psychiatry. As
politically connected a guy as ever existed in the entire field of
psychiatry in the 20th Century, with his obituary in the American
Journal of Psychiatry, funded through MKULTRA and Human
Ecology Foundation, did LSD and other hallucinogen research
funded by Canadian military and the CIA and was successfully
sued (he had already died) - the CIA settled out of court actually -
it wasn't a successful suit technically - with eight of his patients
who had been victims of experimentation that was first funded
directly by the CIA through the Human Ecology Foundation and
then through the Canadian government. One of his papers,
published in the American Journal of Psychiatry is on Psychic
Driving, another is on Production of Differential Amnesia in
Schizophrenia. I interviewed a woman named Linda McDonald,
who is identified in public, this is not a problem with violation of
her confidentiality, and I have a release to talk about her and write
about her - she was 25 years old when she went to McGill to be
treated for a relatively mild post-partum depression. She turned 26
during her hospitalization from March to early September, 1963.
During the course of her hospitalization, she received 102 ECT
treatments, using the Paige-Russell technique, in which the button
is pushed 6x per treatment, instead of 1x. She also received about
80 days of barbiturate and neuroleptic induced sleep. During the
course of her hospitalization - now, I have not only her testimony I
also have the actual medical record, with all of the nursing notes
documenting this and Ewen Cameron's signature in the chart. So
this is not rumour or patient distortion this is the actual record.
And this is work that has been settled out of court by the CIA. She
comes in a normal, somewhat depressed person, who on my
interview I would say she probably had DDNOS before she was
admitted - she gets regressed back to incontinent of urine,
incontinent of feces, totally disoriented, unable to state her own
name, year, where she is, recognize her children, recognize her
husband. She gradually comes out of this. At the time of discharge
she is sent home to live with her husband and children, resume
normal sexual relations with her husband - she doesn't know how
to drive a car, read, cook, use a toilet. Not only does she not know
exactly what sex is all about, and she's not exactly sure who her
husband is, she doesn't know what the concept of a husband is. She
neuropsychologically pulls out of this over months, and several
months down the road, she's at the point where a full time
homemaker has taught her how to scramble eggs. She was a fully
competent housewife and mother before this. When her children go
out to play on the street, she is unable to remember 30 seconds later
where they are, so she puts a map of the neighbourhood up on the
wall and puts pins in the map to keep track of where her kids are
playing. Otherwise she goes into a panic and doesn't realize what's
going on. By about a year, she appears to have made a full
neuropsychological recovery, and when I interview her several years
ago in Vancouver, she appears to be neuropsychologically intact
and to be suffering from no active psychiatric disorder. The
problem is that she can't remember anything from the time she left
the hospital back to birth. So this is CIA and Canadian military
research to totally wipe out somebody's memory, which is very
successful. In the published articles on psychic driving and the
creation of differential amnesia and schizophrenia, the claim is that
if you have somebody who has been delusional for the past five
years, and you give them this "regressive ECT" and regress them
down to total infantile incontinence and bring them back up, and
while you do that, you play a lot of tape loops (looped statements)
over and over and over, hundreds and hundreds of times a day ...
they will come back to their normal waking state, and they will
have specific amnesia for the time during which they have been
delusional and for the delusional material and their schizophrenia
will then be cured. So this is very careful, deliberate research to
produce specific amnesias, and total global amnesia. We would
certainly want to honour that man in the American Journal of
Psychiatry. This is how the funding was set up. Let's look at the
network for both the creation of Manchurian Candidates and the
denial of the existence of Manchurian Candidates. How's that
structured? You would think it might be logical to have a
disinformation program in place. Like any complex system, it's sort
of arbitrary where you enter the system. Let's enter at MKULTRA
which we saw is connected to Bluebird and Artichoke - both of
those are connected to the CIA. The CIA is highly connected to the
military intelligence structurally (committees, cross-references,
cooperation in many of these documented mind control research
projects). In the Senate Committee Hearings in the 1970's on
MKULTRA, John Gittinger who was the head Ph.D. psychologist
in MKULTRA testified that the creation of Manchurian Candidates
and the movie, The Manchurian Candidate, which were referred to
in his testimony, were just fiction, that's ridiculous, and that had
never been done. But we see that MKULTRA, on which he was the
lead psychologist, was actually an administrative rollover from
Bluebird and Artichoke-we have just read material in which they
are explicitly describing clear creation of Manchurian Candidates
so it's not possible that he didn't know that. The options here are
either he was so out of it that he didn't realize that was Manchurian
Candidates that were being created there, or he was somehow
administratively out of the loop and never even looked at the
Bluebird and Artichoke documents which is fairly unbelievable, or
it is deliberate disinformation. Let's go from the CIA here over to
military intelligence over to Estabrooks. We've got Estabrooks
actually creating Manchurian Candidates. So that's Manchurian
Candidate creation which goes back to Bluebird and Artichoke.
We've got that loop already discussed. Let's hop from CIA to
Martin Orne. Well, we saw in the original list of MKULTRA
consultants that Martin Orne was funded through that, and had top-
secret clearance. When you look at Martin Orne's C.V.-he lists in
his C.V. numerous military intelligence funding sources (virtually
all branches of the military) and he, in his publications, cites
funding by Air Force, Army (I am pretty sure), Office of Naval
Research, and Human Ecology. A reliable source informed me that
he also consulted with the National Security Agency. He basically
has consulted with all branches of the military intelligence and
civilian intelligence network. He also has taken the position, since
at least 1984 in public, that MPD is almost al ways an iatrogenic
artifact . He has debated this vociferously at the APA annual from
1988 on, and has published a large discussion and commentary on
this in the International Journal of Clinical Experimental Hypnosis.
His basic position is that MPD is created by the therapist. Now
why would Martin Orne think this, and believe this, when he is
totally connected into military intelligence? He is one of the
leading experts in hypnosis, he is a friend and correspondent of and
has been edited by and he references G.H. Estabrooks who was also
one of the leading hypnosis experts at the same time, who was also
tightly tied into military intelligence-and Estabrooks knows those
other people like Milton Erickson and Hilgaard(sp) who are all
totally interconnected by their common work and references. Well,
Martin Orne might believe that all the civilian DID cases are
actually iatrogenic DID because that is the universe he has grown
up in. He can't step outside his own knowledge of the creation of
Manchurian Candidates by the military to conceive of the idea that
it might arise naturalistically. So it is basically a project, or lack of
intellect. It can't be lack of intellect, because Martin Orne does not
lack intellect. The fact that he is too dumb to get it is totally
implausible because he's a very bright guy, so that explanation we
can rule out. And the other explanation is deliberate
disinformation. There is no way to discriminate between those
hypotheses or test them with the available data. So Martin Orne
says that DID is iatrogenic. Oh, what's this thing over here? FMSF
- False Memory Syndrome Foundation. Well, isn't this funny.
Martin Orne is on the Scientific Advisory Board of the False
Memory Syndrome Foundation and the False Memory Syndrome
Foundation clearly promotes the idea that DID is either almost
entirely or 100% entirely an iatrogenic artifact. Where does that
take us down to? That takes us down to Manchurian Candidate
Denial. That is done specifically by Richard Ofshe, who is a
Scientific Advisory Board member of the False Memory Syndrome
Foundation. In his book, "Making Monsters" where he ridicules me
as a CIA conspiracy nut who believes that the CIA has been
creating MPD (which in fact is a documented fact). Let's skip back
to here. We're at the CIA and we're at MKULTRA, we're missing
another connection here. It should go MKULTRA to Joly West, but
... the CIA connects to Joly West because he was funded under
MKULTRA to study the psychobiology of dissociation. He will
probably go down in history as the only person to kill an elephant
at Oklahoma City Zoo with LSD. Well, Joly West is going to show
up on a bunch of subsequent slides. What we're looking at is two-
dimensional slices of a three- or end dimensional space. So you are
going to see Joly West connect out to here, and off the screen, and
up and down and around the back of the screen, and so on. One
place that he connects if from here to here. Now, where did Joly
West start off in his professional career? He started off as a Top
Secret cleared guy for the Air Force who interviewed the American
pilots who came back from Korea having been captured and
brainwashed by the Communist Chinese.
These were people who were real good Americans, who were flying
jets who were shot down by the Communist enemy who went to
prison as POW's and came back as Communists. Have we ever
heard of anything like this before in our lives? This is the creation
of a new identity and suppression of the old identity and all its
allegiances through mind control coercive persuasion techniques.
These American pilots were Manchurian Candidates of a sort,
without full amnesia for the previous identity. So they were kind of
a DDNOS level Manchurian Candidate as opposed to a full level
DID Manchurian Candidate, and Jolyn West was one of the guys
who interrogated them, understood them, wrote about them, and
wrote about how to arm future military personnel against such
interrogation. Robert Lifton also had Top Secret Clearance from
the Air Force to interview these downed American pilots, and there
are several other people in the group there, including Margaret
Singer, who wrote the book, "Cults in Our Midst" which I talked
about as the foundation of the iatrogenic pathway to DID. She had
Top Secret Clearance to interview these pilots as well. Margaret
Singer publishes with Joly West, and Margaret Singer publishes
with Richard Ofshe, who is an expert on coercive mind control and
cult persuasion techniques. So that's real funny. Let's go from
Military Intelligence over to False Memory Syndrome Foundation.
Who is that guy? Oh ... it says Paul McHugh(sp). Who is Paul
McHugh? He is the guy who is Chairman of Psychiatry at Johns
Hopkins who says that 100% of cases of DID are iatrogenic and
says that all the DID Units should shut down, and he is on the
Advisory Board of the FMSF. He connects to DID as iatrogenic, he
connects to Johns Hopkins as the Chairman of Psychiatry. He
connects over to Walter Reed Hospital because when he was in the
military he did research connected to Walter Reed Hospital that is
listed in his c.v. which is a major site for military intelligence work,
and is directly connected into the mind control network. Now why
do I have Johns Hopkins connected to MKULTRA? Because a
prior Chairman of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins named James
Whitehorn was on the Advisory Board of the Human Ecology
Foundation. He had Top Secret Clearance and was Witting. The
Human Ecology Foundation was actually a funding front for
MKULTRA. So one of his immediate predecessors was directly in
network with Top Secret Clearance. The research in his c.v. - and I
haven't actually got the papers out and read it - that he did in the
military doesn't look like mind control research. But then the whole
question becomes, what are the hypotheses that account for his
behaviour? Here we have an apparently relatively bright guy who is
the Head of the Department at one of the leading medical schools
in the world, who just doesn't get it, he thinks that all DID is
iatrogenic. Is this because he is not smart enough? Doesn't seem to
be a plausible explanation. Well, is it because of some sort of
peculiarity of his personal experience in his psychology that we
don't know about? Maybe. Maybe it's disinformation. No way to
know, no way to prove it one way or another. But this is the
network for the creation and the denial of the creation of the
Manchurian Candidate. It is a very funny little network. Let's take a
look, since we are all into FMSF here, let's take a look at the
relations between the Cult Awareness Network and the FMSF
Scientific Advisory Board. This is going to start taking us out
beyond Oliver Stone. Oliver Stone would say, no this is too much, I
am not making a movie about this. There's still hope that we could
land at the X-Files though.
CAN means the Cult Awareness Network, CIA means the Central
Intelligence Agency, and FMSF means the False Memory
Syndrome Foundation. Joly West is on the Boards of CAN and
FMSF and is connected to the CIA. Margaret Singer is connected
to Joly West and Richard Ofshe. Margaret Singer and Joly West
are on the Board of CAN and Richard Ofshe is on the Board of
FMSF. Joly West and Margaret Singer worked for Air Force
Intelligence talking to those downed American pilots who were
actually DDNOS level Manchurian Candidates. Leo Ryan, and
we're going to hear a bunch about Jonestown in a minute, is the
Congressman who was killed at the airport in Jonestown at the
same time as the mass suicide there, which was not actually a
suicide. His daughter, Patricia Ryan, is very active in CAN and
recently received a Leo Ryan Award, so Leo Ryan connects to
Jonestown, Jonestown connects up to the CIA through that loop
because CAN is interested in destructive cults and coercive
persuasion, and I am going to show you on subsequent slides the
connections between Jonestown and the CIA. Jonestown connects
down to obviously expertise in cult coercive persuasion techniques.
Jim Jones was a big expert. That takes us back up to Joly West,
Margaret Singer, Richard Ofshe, Air Force Intelligence, the CIA.
So all this interconnects here. Who is this guy Robert Heath? Well,
we are going to see him in a future slide too. My secretary has
actually interviewed him, and I might go down and interview him
myself at Tulane in New Orleans. He did brain electro implant
research for the CIA and he would put brain electrodes in human
brains for non-therapeutic purposes, and he would pour in
psyllicibin(sp), mescaline, LSD, and other chemicals to see what
would go tingle-tingle in the electrodes. And I will tell you more
about that. He's funded by the CIA and the military. In one of his
papers, he thanks Harold Lief for referring in one of his brain
electrode implant research subjects. Harold Lief is on the Advisory
Board of the FMSF, and in fact, was personal psychiatrist to the
Freyd family. So all these guys know each other. I'm just giving you
kind of a sketch of how this thing is constructed. Now let's take a
step beyond Oliver Stone. This is the connections between
Jonestown and the CIA. This is based on references, I think they
are on the next slide. The centre of the slide refers to talking about
the CIA with its interests in mind control. Now according to this
book, "Was Jonestown a CIA Medical Experiment?" by Michael
Myers, according to him, Jonestown was a CIA medical
experiment. It was a mind control research site. So that seems
preposterous and impossible to believe. What data and
circumstantial evidence add up to that conclusion? Well, we know
that Leo Ryan was connected to the CIA. How do we know that?
Well, let's take a look over here in our package. Here we have a
letter from the Deputy Director of the CIA dated 18 October 1978.
To Honorable Leo Ryan, House of Representatives, Washington,
D.C.: "Dear Mr. Ryan: Thank you for your letter of 27 September
to Admiral Turner requesting confirmation or denial of the fact that
the CIA experiments using prisoners at the California Medical
Facility at Vacaville. MK Search Site Principal Investigator, James
Hamilton. It is true that CIA sponsored tests involving volunteer
inmates was conducted at that facility. The project was completed
in 1968. A report setting forth the details of that testing has been
released to the authorities at Vacaville and to the public. It is
enclosed for your information and review ....... The research was
related to learning enhancement using a well known non-
hallucinogen, magnesium pemaline (Ross: which is psiler [sp] used
for ADD). Your letter referred to Donald Defreeze known as
Cinque and Clifford Jefferson, both of whom were inmates at
Vacaville. Insofar as our reports reflect the names of the
participants, there is nothing to indicate that either was in any way
involved in the project. You may wish to cont act the authorities at
Vacaville for further information." So Leo Ryan was corresponding
directly with the CIA about some of its mind control research. He
was also the father of pending legislation, by which all CIA covert
operations would be subject to direct Congressional oversight from
a budgetary point of view. {Ross: I haven't got Charles Manson
connected in. You have to go a long way out there to get all these
connections. Is Charles Manson in Vacaville? Oh, I didn't know
that's where he was. Okay, well I'm going to tell you a bunch about
Vacaville, so it's not surprising that he's at Vacaville.) So Leo Ryan
is really pestering the CIA to get all their covert operations under
direct funding oversight and budgetary control of Congress. He is
bugging the CIA about their mind control research. He has found
out that Donald Defreeze was at Vacaville at the same time it was a
research site, we are seeing another document saying that is
MKSearch and the investigator is James Hamilton, who had Top
Secret Clearance. Also Leo Ryan was involved in Jones town,
because he was killed at the airport. Well that's very funny. How
does Leo Ryan connect down to Patty Hearst? Patty Hearst was
captured by the Symbionese Liberation Army, which was headed by
Donald Defreeze whose code name was Cinque. She was found
guilty. She was actually a Manchurian Candidate, a DDNOS level
Manchurian Candidate, who was captured, if you don't remember
the story, she was the daughter of William Randolph Hearst who
ran the San Francisco Chronicle who was running a whole lot of
critical articles about the People's Temple - Jim Jones' cult while it
was still in Ukiah, California. His daughter, Patty Hearst, who was
a college student, was captured by the SLA at gunpoint with
submachine guns, kept locked in a closet for 42 days, and subjected
to very systematic coercive, persuasive brainwashing and mind
control techniques, until she adopted a new identity named "Tanya"
and lost all emotional connectedness to her prior life and her
parents. She participated in the robbing of a bank and was found
guilty. The Free Patty Hearst Movement was headed by Leo Ryan,
who was very active in getting clemency for her from the President.
How does Patty Hearst connect to Donald Defreeze? Well, he
captured her. How does Donald Defreeze connect to Vacaville?
Well he was at Vacaville as a prisoner. What is Vacaville? Well,
let's hop over here to Joly West. That will help us to figure it out.
Joly West was the expert witness in the trial for Patty Hearst. Who
were the expert witnesses called to explain to the jury that Patty
Hearst was actually a victim of coercive persuasion, mind control
and brainwashing ... Joly West, Margaret Singer, Robert Lifton and
Martin Orne. So what did Joly West have to do with Vacaville?
Joly West was Head of the UCLA Violence Project which was
approved by Ronald Reagan when he was Governor of California,
then shut down by public protest. It was spearheaded by a number
of people including some people who were very interested in the
history of CIA military mind control, and have written books about
it. Well the UCLA Violence Project you are going to see in
subsequent slides, but it included research and experimentation
that was going to be done at Vacaville Prison where they had the
maxi-maxi which is the maximum security place for the most
freaked out behaviourally disturbed psychotic psychologically
difficult inmates in the California prison system which included
Donald Defreeze and Charles Manson we hear. Who is Colston
Westbrook? According to a book on the Phoenix program which is
the CIA's covert operation in the Vietnam War for killing 20 VC
infrastructure non-military personnel headed by William Colby,
future Director of the CIA. According to that book, Colston
Westbrook was a CIA Psy-War expert in Vietnam who came back
to the USA to Vacaville Prison under cover of the Black Cultural
Association and used behavioural modification techniques on
Donald Defreeze and gave him his code name Cinque, and devised
the seven headed logo of the Symbionese Liberation Army.
Subsequent to this coercive persuasion work done on Donald
Defreeze by this Psy-War expert employed by the CIA in Vietnam.
Donald Defreeze was transferred to another location in the jail from
which he very easily escaped the next day only to go capture Patty
Hearst and use very systematic and sophisticated mind control
techniques on her despite the fact that he was a functionally
illiterate black person off the streets. It's a very expensive book, it
costs over $100, published by the Edwin Mellon Press, PO Box
450, Lewiston, N.Y. 14092 and then two paperbacks which are
published by Avon Books, both of which are owned by the Hearst
Corporation: Douglas Valentine, 1990, "The Phoenix Program",
N.Y. Avon Books and the specific reference is p. 337. "Patty
Hearst: her own story", Avon Books, N.Y. pp. 133-34. This is from
"Jonestown: A CIA Medical Experiment". This is some general
background now. There is this guy, James Frank, who won the
1925 Nobel Prize in Physics who came over to be part of the
Manhattan Project which created the atomic bomb. That is sort of
the precursor of the Paperclip Project, which we will get to in
future slides. He recruited Lawrence Layton into the Manhattan
Project so that's the connection between these people. Now we're
going to go to this Layton family. There's Hugo Phillip and Anita
Lee Howbwood(sp) married in Germany in 1914 and they moved to
the USA. They had two daughters, Eva and Lisa. Eva doesn't really
fit into the story. Eva worked for the CIA at Berkeley. The author
of this "Jonestown: A CIA Medical Experiment" got all this
information from the public records by just piecing it together, bit
by bit by bit, and the documentation in their references is pretty
solid and convincing. Eva worked for the CIA at Berkeley and her
job at the library was to keep track of all the left-wing literature
taken out of the library and the names of the people who took those
books out and report that to the CIA. Berkeley's got a lot of top-
notch people ... such as Richard Ofshe. Lisa married Lawrence
Layton who was recruited for the Manhattan Project by James
Frank. He later worked at Dugway Proving Ground where radiation
experiments were done including release of radioactivity for wind
dispersal over civilian populations. He was an expert in dispersal of
biological and chemical weapons. That Dugway Proving Ground
was also one o f the sites where Army LSD research was
conducted. This couple had four children - Deborah who married
Phil Blaikie, Lawrence Jr., Annalisa and Thomas. These two are
not so involved in the picture. Lawrence Jr. was on-site at the
People's Temple, Lisa was on-site at the People's Temple in
Jonestown in British Guyana, Deborah was on-site there and she
was the chief financial officer for the People's Temple operation.
She left Jonestown shortly before the mass suicide and went back
to Georgetown, the capital of British Guyana, accompanied by the
CIA Chief of Station for Georgetown. Phil Blaikie was an
interesting guy with international arms sales and British
Intelligence background if I remember right. This is where it really
starts to get convincing and amazing. We have all heard about
Jonestown. We all know that Jim Jones had this group of people
and he was in Ukiah, California and then all of a sudden he moved
to the middle of the jungle in British Guyana. I assume we all had
the same sort of experience I had. You just sort of take that at face
value. Here's this nut. He moves down to the middle of the jungle in
British Guyana. But how did he ever choose this location? Who
scouted it out? What about the logistics of getting all the lumber,
all the oil drums, all the everything down to the middle of the
jungle in British Guyana? You have to build an airport, you have to
transport ... this is a huge, huge project. Well, it turns out this
wasn't just jungle before the People's Temple arrived. It was the
Shalom Project from 1973 to 1975 and Phil Blaikie oversaw the
engineering development of the site in its transition from the
Shalom Project to the People's Temple. What was the Shalom
Project? It was a CIA operation for training black mercenary
guerrillas for operations in Angola. This was a CIA training site.
This was not a random, unconnected site. That's just some general
background. We're going to pick up Jonestown as we walk along
here through these crystal clear slides. Okay, we heard part of the
story. Here's J. Edgar Hoover, he's corresponded with Estabrooks
who was creating Manchurian Candidates, Patty Hearst is a
Manchurian Candidate, her identity of Tanya is deliberately
programmed in by Donald Defreeze who is in Vacaville State
Prison which was an MKSearch site which is also a site for the
UCLA Violence Project, Vacaville is a CIA research site, Patty
Hearst is connected down to Joly West who is her expert witness in
her trial who says in effect she is a Manchurian Candidate,
DDNOS level. He's the expert witness for Jack Ruby who is
connected to Lee Harvey Oswald. I went to one of the JFK
Assassination meetings in Dallas a couple of years ago where a guy
presented a bunch of information including a photocopy of a letter
by J. Edgar Hoover dated 1960 expressing concern that Lee Harvey
Oswald had been doubled. The FBI was on top of Lee Harvey
Oswald, was on top of him, and was tracking him systemically well
before the assassination. So that connect J. Edgar Hoover over to
Lee Harvey Oswald who is connected to Jack Ruby. How does
Wounded Knee get in there? Wounded Knee is an Indian uprising
where the FBI were shooting up the Sioux Indians. Russell Means
was heavily involved in that. What does Russell Means have to do
with Jonestown? Well, Jim Jones was a good PR guy. When Patty
Hearst was kidnapped he offered William Randolph Hearst a
program to set up a collection/donation of money to pay the ransom
to the SLA. And the SLA was demanding something like $170
million from Hearst for the release of Patty Hearst. Jim Jones
offered to set up this fund, but Hearst said no. The next outcome
was that the SLA also wanted food donated to poor people that
they said they were representing in a revolution. So a committee
was set up to do food distribution, financed by William Randolph
Hearst. According to this book, the way that food distribution was
done was Jim Jones got control of the mechanisms and he brought
people down from the People's Temple down to be the homeless
and poor people who received the food and the same food was
distributed around the network six times, constantly being picked
up by new People's Temple people, and taken back to the
distribution point. So actually only one-sixth as much food was
purchased as it appeared, and the rest was skimmed by the People's
Temple. Russell Means was on the committee that oversaw this
operation and his wife was bailed out of jail in Oregon the year
before at a cost of $19,000 by Jim Jones. (Russell Means works for
Walt Disney - comment from conference audience.) So this arrow
here actually goes over to Mickey Mouse ...
We did Vacaville, MKSearch, that's all connected into Patty Hearst,
Donald Defreeze, we've got that part ... MKULTRA connected to
UCLA. What does MKULTRA have to do with that Sugi U2 base
... that's the U2 spy plane. Well that's according to information from
JFK assassination researchers that I haven't independently
confirmed, that was an MKULTRA site, Lee Harvey Oswald was
stationed there. U2 was the plane that Gary Powers went down in.
It was a spy plane that over-flew the Soviet Union. It was also used
for surveillance of Martin Luther King ... that's an acknowledged
fact. The FBI used U2 planes to keep track of him. According to a
book which is a little shaky in terms of its documentation, the
people who were consulted on the mental state of Gary Powers, the
pilot of the U2 that was downed included Ewen Cameron who was
an MKULTRA contractor who did the experimentation on Linda
McDonald who I told you about earlier. Ewen Cameron was also
one of the people who went over and interviewed the Nazi war
criminals at Nuremburg to do mental statuses on them. So the FBI
is in there fairly tight. Let's just talk about MKULTRA, MKSearch
assassination connections. This is now out and beyond Oliver
Stone, and we're going to pick up JFK, a little bit of Jonestown, a
little bit of this and that here. So we've got MKSearch, Carl Pfeiffer
was a contractor for MKSearch and MKULTRA. One of the sites
he worked at is the New Jersey Reformatory at Bordentown which
was in some of those preliminary MKULTRA lists that I showed. In
Walter Bowart's book, "Operation Mind Control", he talks about
Luis Castillo. Luis Castillo was arrested by the FBI, the
Phillippines equivalent of the FBI, on suspicion of being there to
assassinate Marcos. In 300 pages of transcript of the interrogation
of Luis Castillo by the Phillipines FBI, that's in the possession of
the JFK Assassination researcher who told me where George
Estabrooks' personal papers are, Luis Castillo describes very clearly
(and this is also described in Walter Bowart's book) having MPD.
So here's a potential assassin of Marcos who describes
undocumented MPD who was at the New Jersey Reformatory at
Bordentown at the same time it was an MKSearch hallucinogen site
and an MKULTRA hallucinogen site. We've got Lee Harvey
Oswald who was at Sugi Air Force Base which is apparently an
MKULTRA research site who is connected to Jack Ruby who is
connected to Joly West who is an MKULTRA contractor who is
the expert witness for Patty Hearst whose Manchurian Candidate
identity "Tanya" was created by Donald Defreeze from Vacaville
State Prison which was an MKSearch site which takes us back to
the New Jersey Reformatory at Bordentown. This is all just random
coincidence, as I am sure you appreciate. How about JFK/CIA mind
control research connections? I might come back to Jonestown in
more detail. I am just trying to get through all these slides here.
This is a very pretty little diagram with CIA at the hub and we've
got a wheel going all the way around. There is a game that I saw in
the newspaper called "Who was in a movie with Kevin Bacon?" and
the purpose of the game ... you can name any Hollywood star and
within six steps you can get from that person to Kevin Bacon
because this person was in a movie who was in a movie with this
person who was in a movie with Kevin Bacon. This is the same
logic here. We can start anywhere, we can connect Joly West to the
CIA. Neale Birch is a CIA Office of Naval Research mind control
consultant in Houston. Robert Heath is a CIA and military funded
brain electrode researcher at Tulane. Well let's just go through this
random assortment of individuals here. Robert Heath is doing brain
electrode implant and other research for the CIA in Tulane. He
publishes a paper with Bernie Saltzberg. Bernie Saltzberg
publishes with Neale Birch who is funded by the CIA and the
military. Neale Birch publishes an edited book - contributor of a
chapter in that book is Joly West who describes the UCLA
Violence Project in that book edited by Neale Birch. Joly West
interviews Jack Ruby. Jack Ruby shoots Lee Harvey Oswald. Okay
well that's interesting. That's the end of the story. Except let's run
back around this way. Robert Heath publishes with Francisco Silva
who is still alive and I am going to try and interview him in Baton
Rouge. Francisco Silva is a Cuban psychiatrist who left in the
random year of 1959 which is when Castro took over, to take up
residence in Louisiana and publish with Robert Heath who told my
secretary that Francisco was a very wonderful person. In the Warren
Commission documents, there is uncorroborated testimony by Lee
Harvey Oswald that in 1963, prior to the assassination, he lived
with Francisco Silva and was temporarily employed at the hospital
where Francisco Silva worked. I am just sort of playing mind games
with you ... this is all just meaningless coincidence. Project
Paperclip and Mind Control Research - we heard about Allen
Dulles already, he was the Director of the CIA before George Bush
was the Director of the CIA, which in turn was before George Bush
was the President. Allen Dulles is head of the CIA during
MKULTRA program and obviously was aware of it and oversaw it.
The CIA goes down to this Reinhard Gehlen guy who is the
German spymaster who is recruited by Dulles to become our boy
spying against the Russians, our enemies who were previously were
our friends. Reinhard Gehlen was in effect a Nazi War Criminal.
Reinhard Gehlen is in effect a Nazi War Criminal. Project
Paperclip is a fully documented - one of a group of projects
including Project National Interest, Project 63, Bloodstone - there
is a bunch of other projects but Paperclip is the best known one.
There are several books about it. Paperclip is a project set up by
CIA and military intelligence to bring Nazi war criminals into the
USA through a mechanism that routed them around the State
Department. State Department rules were that if you were a Nazi
war criminal, you couldn't enter the USA. But there was a mad
scramble at the end of World War II involving the USA, Canada,
France, Britain, German and Russian governments who were all
scrambling to get their hands on German scientists. There were all
kinds of recruiting drives, etc. American teams would actually go
into the Russian sector and go to a place where German scientists
were being held, and sneak those guys out of there. It was quite an
intense little party that was going on. In Project Paperclip (this is
totally documented) all types of scientists were brought over to the
USA. Film experts, ball bearing experts, lubricants, rockets, every
aspect of science and technology of interest to the military. This is
included somewhat obscure people like Werner Von Braun.
Werner Von Braun was head of the rocket program. He was the guy
who was in charge of the V2 rockets that were used to bomb
Britain that were created for Mittelwerk(sp) ... the labour for
Mittelwerk was supplied from Camp Dora(sp). When the American
troops liberated Camp Dora they found 6000 corpses on the
ground. It is estimated that about 20,000 people were worked to
death out of Camp Dora building the V2 rockets. Werner von
Braun is documented as being on site at the Mittelwerk at least 20
times, and being at meetings of V2 oversight personnel where the
use of prisoners being worked to death was discussed and
condoned, and the workers would sometimes attempt to sabotage
the rockets by urinating a part or tampering with the rocket. The
typical response to that was that the entire work crew would be
instantly hung in their work tunnel. He was also a member of the
S.S. and there is correspondence on US Space Program stationery
to a journalist where Werner von Braun admits he was an SS
Officer. So he was a Nazi war criminal who couldn't be brought in
through a normal kind of visa process. Another person who was
brought in through Paperclip or another related project was
Albertus Stroekhold(sp). Albertus Stroekhold is regarded as the
father of aviation medicine. There is a library named after him at
Lakland(sp) Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. He was
honoured by the Daughters of the American Revolution for his
contributions to Aviation Medicine and the Texas State Legislature
declared a one-time state memorial day named after him in, I
believe, the 1960's. Albertus Stroekhold was not a nice person.
People on his own administrative level, people who reported to him
and people he reported to were all tried and found guilty of war
crimes at Nuremburg. He was not even interviewed by the U.S.
lawyers responsible for that sector of Nuremburg. The types of
experiments that these people did included things like putting
people in a pressure chamber and dropping the pressure instantly to
about 60,000 feet to simulate somebody being blown out of a
cockpit if they were a U.S. pilot . What would happen is they
would cause their faces to have excruciating pain, they would
actually die or almost die. The ones who died would be taken out
of the chamber, their heads would be cut open, their heads would
be submerged under water, their heads would then be sliced open to
determine whether there was air emboli in their cerebral arteries.
Another type of experiment done by these people was an attempt to
find an antidote to seawater so that downed German pilots in the
North Sea could drink seawater. So these people were given forced
feedings of seawater for days on end which then would be doctored
with various different substances to see if any of the substances
would prevent any of the subjects from dying. This is major full-
scale Nazi war crime doctor stuff, and probably over 1000 of these
scientists were brought under Project Paperclip. Nazi war criminals
were examined by a team of psychiatrists including Ewen Cameron
who did LSD and mescaline research and was an MKULTRA
contractor. LSD and mescaline research was also funded by
MKULTRA and mescaline research was done by the Nazi war
criminals in the POW camps. So Ewen Cameron probably got the
bright idea of doing LSD research from the Nazi war criminals.
According to this book which is not really rock solid in its
documentation, he was still in network up in the early 1960's when
the U2 pilot went down. So that the only people who are missing
from this fully, completely documented history are the
psychological warfare experts. It is not plausible that the only kind
of scientists out of the full range of expertise that were not brought
over were the psychological experts. A guy who was a deep-ops
character in Vietnam described being out in the field and coming
across US and VC personnel who were all totally wasted on some
sort of hallucinogen trip. Their job was simply to extract these guys
and leave the VC who were just completely out of it on the ground.
He told me which specific location in the USA would be the most
likely place to find some of these Paperclip psychological experts,
so I am going to pursue that. Let's just take a look at the brain
electrode implant research. Now let's say it's just not believable that
the CIA and the military have been creating Manchurian
Candidates-it's just too much like science fiction. Well, what do we
know for a fact that they have been doing? We know that they have
been giving kids a few mcg. per kg. big-time street doses of LSD
days, weeks and months up to years in a row. We know that they
have been implanting non-therapeutic brain electrodes in children
as young as 11 years old on an experimental basis, and we know
they have been wiping out people's entire personal histories with
100+ ECT treatments and massive sleep inductions through drugs
for no therapeutic reason whatsoever but we don't think they would
go as far as creating a Manchurian Candidate. So it doesn't add up.
What we know for an absolute documented fact is that they've gone
way beyond monkeying around with some amnesia barriers and
new identities so what's the story on b rain electrode implant
research? Here's a name you might recognize. Brain electrode
implant research was funded by the CIA and MKULTRA in
conjunction with the Office of Naval Research. There is a lot of
joint funding of various projects by Office of Naval Research and
the CIA. The Office of Naval Research funded both Neale Birch
and the CIA. Neale Birch published that thing by Joly West. Joly
West started the UCLA Violence Project which was going to be at
Vacaville which was where Donald Defreeze was. He recruited a
brain electrode implant psychiatrist who was part of a brain
electrode team at Harvard, Frank Ervin, to be part of the UCLA
Violence Project. He denies in his chapter in the book edited by
Neale Birch that there is any intention to do brain electrode
implant, but the available evidence suggests that actually in fact the
plan was to stick brain electrodes in some of these prisoners at
Vacaville and the concept was that you would use this for tracking
of their whereabouts and if they were off their circuit locations or
there was a certain kind of discharge from their brain, you could
then transmit a signal to them to arrest their behaviour so that they
could be picked up by the police. He is also funded by Army
Intelligence. Army Intelligence funded Neale Birch. Army
Intelligence funded Robert Heath at Tulane who did brain electrode
implant research. We saw him on the previous page. The Office of
Naval Research funded Jose Delgado at Yale who did brain
electrode implant research. This is the guy to whom Harold Lief
sent a patient. His experiments include sticking electrodes in
brains, as I mentioned, and then pouring in different kinds of
hallucinogens in order to see the effect on perception and
behaviour and electrical activity in their brain. This guy, Jose
Delgado, who is tightly in network, who is famous for a videotape
of a bull charging at him then he pushes the transmitter box which
sends a signal to the electrodes implanted in the bull's brain, and
the bull turns away. He also has a series of papers which are in my
Jose Delgado file where he does this kind of research on cats and
he refers to the cats in which he has implanted brain electrodes that
he is control ling by transmitter as "mechanical toys". By loose
association, this reminds me of a book called "Man the Mechanical
Misfit" written by George H. Estabrooks. He also describes a
technical innovation in an 11 year old boy who had brain electrodes
implanted for non therapeutic reasons. Previously you had to have
wires connecting the transmitter box directly to the electrode
terminals that were sticking through the skull. In this 11 year old
boy, however, Jose Delgado had figured out how to have a remote
transmitter without a direct wire connection. He describes pushing
a button in this otherwise normal 11 year old boy's brain transmitter
box and the boy starts being confused about his identity,
wondering whether he is a girl and talking about wanting to marry
Jose Delgado. He pushes another button, and this behaviour stops.
Another Delgado experiment is a 16 year old girl who looks maybe
like a mild borderline, pre-morbidly, involves sticking these brain
electrodes in and there is actually pictures in the paper that you can
photocopy when you go to the medical school library, it's in a
journal on the shelf-where in one picture she's got this vacant
stupid grin on her face, push another button on the panel box and
she is pounding the panel on the wall. So they are showing actual
photographs of markedly different behavioural states-totally
controlled by remote transmitter and brain electrode implants. But
these guys wouldn't be using hypnosis to create Manchurian
Candidates ...
Let's look at temporal lobe epilepsy and military mind control
research for a minute. Let's try and think about the history of MPD.
What are some of the bogus reasons that MPD is not real? One of
the big arguments is that it is really temporal lobe epilepsy. We
know that temporal lobe epilepsy has been used as one of the arms
of Manchurian Candidate denial. Here we have how that little
network works. We've got Robert Heath who is doing non-
therapeutic brain electrode implants plus brain electrode implants
on temporal lobe epilepsy subjects. That's all funded by military
intelligence and the CIA. We've got temporal lobe epilepsy as a
phenomena. Frank Irvin (who was recruited by Joly West for the
UCLA Violence Project) and Mark Sweet write a book called
"Violence and the Brain" in which they describe doing brain
electrode implants with people with temporal lobe epilepsy. One of
their subjects had a very unusual form of temporal lobe epilepsy.
He was driving a truck in Los Angeles and came to in Phoenix. So
actually these people were doing brain electrode implants on
multiples. Well, they could be alcoholics, but the description
(remember this guy drove a tuck from LA to Phoenix, that's a little
bit much for an alcoholic blackout) -- some of the other case
histories clearly sound dissociative in nature. But they are calling
them temporal lobe epilepsy just like Joly West said Jack Ruby had
temporal lobe epilepsy. There is this misinformation in the
literature that DID is actually due to temporal lobe epilepsy and
there are nine authors in a series of papers in the early to mid-
1980's pumping this DID is really temporal lobe epilepsy line. This
shows you how this research works because I haven't done this but
the hypothesis is now that these nine authors are somehow going to
be in network. So the odds are that the nine authors who published
these papers saying that DID is just temporal lobe epilepsy are
going to be in network in this mind control old boy network
somehow. I just haven't researched that up. Borderline personality
disorder where multiples are really just borderline is another back-
up strategy, and how does borderline personality disorder tie up
with military mind control research? Well, DID is iatrogenic, they
are really just borderlines. Martin Orne says that, Richard Ofshe
says that, Martin Orne worked for MKULTRA which is connected
to MKNaomi, MKNaomi was also conducted at Edgeware Arsenal
where Amadeo Morazzi worked who did LSD research for the Air
Force in Minnesota funded by Air Force Intelligence. Robert Heath
also did Air Force research. LSD research was done by Nazi
scientists and war criminals. Nazi scientists and war criminals were
imported into Edgeware Arsenal frequently, and one of the people
that I researched was Wagner Joreg, who is apparently the son of
the Wagner Joreg(sp) who won the Nobel Prize for treating
syphillis with malaria. I haven't researched that up fully but he came
up to Edgeware Arsenal and I have him documented as being a
German University Professor in the 1930's and 1940's showing up
at Edgeware Arsenal and publishing research on antidotes to
chemical warfare weapons and saying that he regrets the extremely
long period of time in which it was impossible to publish his
research data. So he did this research at Edgeware Arsenal which
overlaps with the time that Amadeo Morazzi was there who did
LSD research at the University of Minnesota. Another person who
did LSD research is Paul Hawk who worked for the CIA, and is one
of the inventors of the term "borderline personality disorder". So
this is a little bit hokey this one. But it just shows you - the theme
here is not that there is a military intelligence conspiracy to cover
up Manchurian Candidate creation with the myth of borderline
personality disorder. The point now is a more of a global general
metapoint which is this whole network of old boys in psychiatry
and psychology who were covertly funded for part of the military
and CIA intelligence mind control network are very influential in
the history of psychiatry in a kind of nebulous fashion that just
permeates the whole field. It isn't part of the sort of one-to-one
correspondences that I have been showing before. It's a matter of
the whole mindset of psychiatry - how we think about borderlines,
how we think about temporal lobe epilepsy, what are we going to
react to MPD like? Well we are going to react to MP D like - it' a
little bit more vague, a little bit more global, it's a little bit more
general - but the point is that the history of psychiatry in the second
half of the twentieth century is undoubtedly been strongly skewed-
not by an agenda that has to do with academic research, not by the
best interest of clients, not by ethical psychiatry, but by an
Intelligence agenda. My beef is not with the intelligence
community or the CIA. It's with the psychiatrists and the
psychologists who created a little loophole where they can step out
of normal ethical oversight, violate the Hippocratic Oath, get away
with it, not talk about it, and just like the conspiracy to keep incest
under the carpet, this is all conspired and kept under the carpet -
not by twelve guys in a room at Langley who are doing the
planning, but just by this pervasive old boys network that's keeping
the mind control secret down just like it kept the incest secret
down. So that's another reason why this is important, and needs to
be uncovered. That's the end of the slides. Now I am going to come
back to Jonestown a little bit, and fill you in on Jonestown and
then I see I am way ahead of schedule which is fine because I have
got a lot more to tell you, and you can ask a whole bunch of
questions, and we can have a discussion. According to this
Jonestown book - remember that there's a connection between Patty
Hearst's being kidnapped by Donald Defreeze who is mind
controlled by Colston Westbrook who is a CIA psy-war expert and
then there is the food relief program for the ransom by Jim Jones
who is being hassled by William Randolph Hearst newspaper that
ties into Russell Means being on the Board. Well according to a
person who survived the White Night at Jonestown, Patty Hearst's
boyfriend, Steven Weed, was onsite at the People's Temple at
Ukiah, California and observed talking to Jim Jones three months
before the kidnapping. If that is true, then that just blows the
coincidence conspiracy theory out of the water. It is too much not
to be all connected up. According to the book there is pretty solid
documentation to prove that Jim Jones was recruited by the CIA
way back in the 1950's and he was a coercive persuasion
brainwashing expert who had some Churches in Cincinatti then
moved out to California. He specialize in coercive persuasion on
Blacks and Native Americans, almost all of the people at
Jonestown were not white except for the elite who survived and he
was on-site at two South American countries - I think Brazil and
British Guyana as a CIA undercover operative doing typical CIA
operations as part of government overthrow both by stirring up left
wing factions, stirring up labour, distributing leaflets and so on. So
he was actually part of standard CIA operations going way back to
the 1950's. The evidence in favour of it actually being a drug
experiment is pretty weak. He says there was Drug A, Drug B and
placebo and the point of the experiment was do either of the active
drugs enhance the voluntary completed suicide rate of the
brainwashed subjects. But he doesn't really provide any
documentation to support that. He just sort of pulls that out of
nowhere. So that's not very plausible. Also he talks about
MKULTRA in a non-scholarly way because MKULTRA had
already stopped. So it wasn't technically an MKULTRA operation.
There's a lot of elaborate detail in the book. For instance Jim Jones
visited Castro. There are a lot of connections between the CIA
being the site for Jonestown in British Guyana before they went
there and all kinds of visiting back and forth from CIA stations in
the capital of Guyana to the people staying at the Temple. Like I
said, one of those daughters in the Layton family was escorted out
of Jonestown just before White Night by the CIA station chief. It
just builds up like that. There are dozens and dozens and dozens of
these kind of documented pieces of information. There is a whole
bunch of stuff about people who were assassinated by the People's
Temple and a bunch of numerological and letter type codes about
how these people were selected and how their last names mirrored
the method by which they were killed. There is this whole kind of
vast detail which leaves me with the next conclusion that it is
beyond coincidence. Whether it is actually a medical experiment is
not clearly established, except the most compelling fact is the
method of delivery of the drugs. Every night every member of the
Jonestown commune had to go to the kitchen and eat one cookie in
front of personnel. And he says the cookie is where the drugs were
delivered. I would say the next conclusion is probably more than
50/50% likely that there was some sort of heavy CIA involvement
in Jonestown, whether or not it was a drug experiment. In terms of
how many people actually committed suicide, according to this
book, only a minority of people committed suicide, many were shot
or injected with cyanide. Only a minority actually drank it
voluntarily. And when you look at the configuration of bodies on
the ground, these are not people who just drank, died and fell on
the ground-they are all lined up in orderly rows. There's a whole
deal of how one of the Layton family members-her identity was
switched with one of the other members who had lung cancer and
she was actually escorted off the grounds on the grounds of having
lung cancer. But there was somebody else who had lung cancer,
and there is substitution of bodies, there is a claim that the guy who
was identified as being Jim Jones was not actually Jim Jones. So
you have to read the book to get the whole wealth of detail. I would
say it is fairly compelling and persuasive. Which takes us back into
how come all these guys who are connected into network tend to be
experts in mind control, brainwashing, coercive persuasion,
destructive cults? And why is it that destructive cults appear to
specialize in creating Manchurian Candidates? You just keep going
round and round this network and the more you research into it-
and this is only part way along the journey-if you actually had a
team of ten researchers-you would end up with fifty of these slides
with every (some of it speculative) but every connection fully
documented on fifty slides. Another curious twist on this story is
the history of LSD. One of the things that goes on is there is always
information and disinformation. One of the strategies for
disinformation is called a limited hang-out is when you let out a
little bit of the truth, then you go, "oh see we 'fessed up!" But
actually you only let out 3% and the purpose of the limited hang-
out is to cover up the rest. There's always a limited hang-out going
on. Every time a bunch of stuff is declassified that's only the tip of
the iceberg. If we take a look at the history of LSD, something that
was not taught to me when I was a psychiatry resident is who are
the original acid-heads? Could it have been, like, maybe, beatniks?
Maybe Allen Ginsburg. Could have been Ken Kesey, maybe. No
the original acid-heads in North America were the leading figures
in psychiatry. The people who imported LSD into North America
were the CIA and the military. It didn't get here through street or
drug dealer routes. It got here through official military CIA mind
control mechanisms. The CIA at one time actually considered
buying up the world supply of LSD from Sandoz. Like I said their
alternative back-up was to contract with Elli Lily to provide a
secure supply of LSD. These guys were on acid-trips in the first
half of the 1950's. People who first got turned on to LSD as
subjects in military experiments included Gregory Bateson, Allen
Ginsburg, Ken Kesey, probably Timothy Leary. Gregory Bateson
was married to Margaret Mead who was funded in her
anthropological work by the CIA. There is a whole other dimension
of this which is funding-this is a fact.
In...another story about anthropology ... a little glimpse of which
we capture from Raymond Prince who was funded under
MKULTRA to go study the Yoruba. This is called "Study of Mind
Control Techniques by Witch Doctors Around the World". Now,
Raymond Prince's hypothesis is that actually it is just a way to go
undercover in a foreign country and get better information about
the culture and establish contact with possible agents and recruits.
But the CIA - as part of its proper operations in the Cold War - has
had to gather a tremendous amount of data on the stability of
various societies and countries which are likely to tip over to
Communism which involves sociology, economics, military
analysis and anthropology ... anthropology, languages, and
linguistics are all part of the operation. All these people who were
the original acid-heads are the psychiatrists, and the psychiatrists,
when you read the LSD sponsored symposia-the guy who is the
archivist for the American College of Psychiatrists, Sydney Mallett
(sp) whom I plan to contact-the American College of Psychiatrists
is this old boys club in American Psychiatry that I got into because
I got a fellowship from them as a resident -- (to audience: "No, I
don't think it was CIA funded ... unless Meade Johnson was
functioning as a cutout ... the money supposedly came from Meade
Johnson"). That's the way the network works ... it's a joke ... but
you never know ... so the guy who is the archivist-historian in one
of these CIA symposia in the early 1960's talks about how he was
turned on to LSD by Paul Hawk who was responsible for the term
"borderline personality disorder" and killed the tennis pro with
mescaline. All these guys are writing and talking about LSD as "the
hot thing" in psychotherapy. They are totally on board with it, and
usually they are talking about sub hallucinogenic doses ... like 60
mg, 75 mg as loosening up the ego and causing these amazing
treatment responses, like curing long-term alcoholism in a single
LSD psychotherapy session. They are all getting funded by it, they
are getting perked by it, they are going for trips, they are meeting
their buddies, they are going to conferences, they are getting
published, they are getting books edited-it's all just part of the
whole program. Nobody in psychiatry is saying "bad stuff,
dangerous stuff, street drug, protect the youth of America"-they are
not talking like that.
All of a sudden, boom, it's a narcotic and it's outlawed by FDA.
What is the initial response of all these grey-haired fathers of
psychiatry to making LSD an illegal substance? Protest, it's a bad
thing, it's robbing us of a powerful psychotherapeutic agent, it's
crippling our research efforts. These guys were hung out to dry.
They were used by Intelligence Agencies to gather therapeutic use
of LSD, interrogation use of LSD, psychotomenitic (sp) use of
LSD and then when they had done their job, LSD was just canceled
from academia. It was made illegal, and then a whole
disinformation campaign went along with that whereby LSD was
transformed from this wonderful therapeutic agent whose use was
advocated by the major leading figures in psychiatry into this
horrible thing that made children jump out of windows and bust up
their chromosomes. It's called a "disinformation campaign". And it
caught the leaders of psychiatry totally by surprise, which is hard to
believe since psychiatrists are such clever political strategists in
general. What about this whole creating Manchurian Candidate
stuff which we see now for a fact has been going on since WWII?
And according to Estabrooks, even back to WWI? We now have
established for a proven fact that was going on during WWII, and
the CIA was working on it in Artichoke and Bluebird from 1951-
53. The Korean War only started in 1950. The disinformation was
that our boys went overseas there, they got shot down, they got
captured, the Communist Chinese worked on them with these
strange techniques we don't understand. The person who coined the
term "brainwashing" in a book was Edwin Hunter. He's a career
CIA officer. This was a term coined by the CIA to explain what was
happening to our boys in North Korea who were making bold
statements about germ warfare activities they had been involved in.
Now it could be that part of the Communist brainwashing strategy
was to talk to these guys about the ethical improprieties of
biological warfare and bombing they actually had been doing in
North Korea. In any rate, they come home as Manchurian
Candidates. We are all bent out of shape because our boys are
talking Communism, so we say that we have got to start studying
this reactively and defensively because of what the Commies are
doing. That is the disinformation myth that has been adhered to by
the Military Intelligence community steadfastly from the Korean
War to the present. It's totally bullshit. It's disinformation. It's not a
fact. It's a made up story to cover up the fact that actually we had
operational offensive use of this psychological warfare technology
already in place in WWII. We have a major disinformation
campaign which has basically fooled mental health professions and
the general public concerning brainwashing, concerning LSD.
Fortunately those are the only two examples in human history. This
analysis does not apply to the False Memory movement. There is
no way it could conceivably be possible, you will all agree, that
there could be any nervousness in the Intelligence Community
about Manchurian Candidates spilling out into civilian
psychotherapies and that a disinformation program based on False
Memories would be required. It is obviously absurd. Nobody but a
CIA conspiracy nut would ever suggest that. I guarantee you that
that thought has never even crossed my mind until it just
spontaneously appeared at this moment. So you see, actually, in
fact, the idea that there could be a deliberate disinformation
campaign element to the False Memory movement is perfectly
plausible, consistent with history, and could be expected. There is
bound to be some sort of disinformation strategy if in fact
Manchurian Candidates have been leaking out into civilian
psychotherapy. So here we have, with all of this documentation, all
of this proof ... we know that it is perfectly possible that people we
are seeing in therapy who are claiming to be victims of systematic
military mind control experimentation are telling us about what
actually happened to them. However, I am not a single step further
ahead than I was four years ago on actually documenting that any
single patient in treatment actually in fact was involved in these
mind control experiments. There is no linkage at all from the
current patients in treatment to this documentation. So whether we
are ever going to get that or not, I don't know. (From audience:
Mind Control and the Military can be found on America On-Line
on the Internet - "On Psych"-and there are websites). Apparently
there is a lot of information about this on the web and on Internet
and AOl and elsewhere. But the problem is, I don't go to chat
rooms very often, but most of it is totally banal, and silly and
boring and a waste of time. So when you go into the stuff on mind
control, how much is garbage that you are going to get, and how
much is solid stuff that you can pursue and document are you going
to get is my question. I have no idea what the answer is. But, as we
all know, the truth is out there. (From the audience: "how would I
go about documenting that a patient I, or somebody else, currently
has in treatment, in fact was involved in that kind of
experimentation?") Well, here's how the documentation has gone so
far. By the way, I have done Freedom of Information Act requests
on MONARCH at all Intelligence Agencies, and they have all
denied it exists. The patient apparently has no source of
contamination for specific MONARCH memories, but has the word
Monarch in her mind, and has very specific detailed Monarch-type
mind control memories. Her father basically abused her
domestically and ritualistically, and then took her over to the mind
control people. How she got there, what the transport mechanism
was .. plane, car, location is all vague because she appears to have
been all drugged out then transported. Is it possible that her father
could have been this kind of person? Well, I have his military
service records which I got through the Freedom of Informatiion
Act, I have a letter from him in prison where he is imprisoned for
mob crime connections, I've got a mother and a sister corroborating
the domestic incest, the sister with some patchy corroboration of
ritualistic and mind control memories, I've got the father personally
connected to Jack Ruby. That's as far as it goes. It's sort of
circumstantial and intriguing. So the way I would attempt to
document it would be if the person tells me (most people can't tell
you the specific name of the doctor) but if somebody gives you a
specific name of a doctor, and gives you a specific location, and
you can establish that this doctor actually existed, and you can
establish that in fact this doctor was a CIA employee, and you can
establish that this person's father was imprisoned by the FBI as part
of a Mafia raid by looking at the journal articles that the patient
has, then you are starting to get closer and closer. So it is your
basic investigative reporting type stuff. Name the specific base.
Okay what do you know about the base? How did you get there?
Tell me about some buildings? Tell me about personnel. Describe
the uniforms. What was used? And then if you can get another
subject who was there at the same time ... that's just the way it is. It
is your basic investigative reporting. Which is way beyond being a
therapist. There is no therapeutic obligation to do this. This is mega
beyond duty to take collateral history. So I don't think there is any
mystery as to how it would proceed. And it will proceed probably
in the same way as the history of declassified information since
WWII. In about, I think 1988, stuff was released to the Senate and
the Congress and then to the Press about all these radiation
experiments. Nobody did anything. It didn't even get into the
newspapers. It was in the public domain for five years before it
finally hits the newspapers. Now we've got this government report
that is 900 pages long on all the radiation experiments, including
giving radiation to children and radiation to pregnant mothers and
the children of those pregnancies dying of leukemia by age five.
This is huge, big stuff. Everybody was apathetic, didn't think it was
newsworthy, didn't even put it as a little trailer item in the New
York Times. This is no longer vague. We know the specific names
of people, when they died, whether it was plutonium or whatever
was injected, the names of the doctors, the names of the medical
schools where it was done, it's all keyed up for compensation, the
government has set up a whole compensation mechanism. If we
look at the Tuscagee Syphilis Study ... it is worse than the creation
of Manchurian Candidates. It was set up in Tuscagee, Alabama in
the 1940's. The experiment is-you've got 400 rural, dirt-poor black
guys with active syphilis and 400 controls. These people are
followed without treatment into the 1970's. The people who are
involved in the Tuscagee Syphilis Study (it is a huge long list and I
can't remember all the details of it) but it includes the County
Medical Society, the administration of the study was actually taken
over by the Centre of Disease Control, the Surgeon General, the
American Heart Association, all kinds of people were witting,
knowledgeable and aware of the study and ap proved its ongoing
nature well into the 60's and into the 70's, in complete violation of
all known medical ethics. Well okay, that was kept kind of secret.
Nobody heard about it except some of these medical bigwigs. No. I
have a medical paper from the medical school published in 1965
called "Untreated Syphilis in a Male Negro - A 20 year follow-up".
This stuff is published, right in the medical literature. It is looking
everybody right in the face. What happens when you have 400
illiterate rural black guys with active syphilis untreated, for 40
years? Well, the outcome of the experiment is, you will be very
surprised to hear, they don't do too well, they develop a lot of
disease, and they die young. They do another thing. They breathe
air. There is another behaviour that we can predict in these guys.
They eat food. Going down the list? They urinate and defecate.
Continuing along with basic human functions, they have sexual
intercourse with women. Anybody who has been to medical school
will tell you it is 100% guaranteed that if you take 400 black guys
with syphilis and do not treat them, the rest of t heir lives, you are
guaranteed to be creating cases of congenital syphilis. The entire
medical community knows this as an elementary fact that you learn
in first year medical school, it is published in the medical literature,
and it's condoned by all levels of the old boys network in world
medicine. This is totally unbelievable and completely factual. This
Manchurian Candidate stuff is like Mickey Mouse Psych stuff. It's
not even heavy duty. The nurse who was the head of the Tuscagee
Syphilis study throughout its duration, actually got an award from
the Public Health Service because of her work on the Tuscagee
Syphilis Study. The individual guys have gone and testified at the
Senate. You can read the book, "Bad Blood" and these guys are
named as individual human beings. Which individual human beings
who are victims of military mind control research do we already
know? Harold Blauer, the tennis pro who was killed. Frank Olson
who was killed because he jumped through a window because he
took LSD mixed with Cointro by Sidney Gottlieb, administrative
Head of MKULTRA who I talked to on the telephone. When was
the Olson family compensated? He died in 1955 or something.
They were compensated by the President in 1977 I think it was. The
reason the wife and surviving children figured that in fact this was
not a simple suicide was they read the Rockefeller Report on CIA
activities published in 1975 in which the case was described
without him being named. So, they are reading the Rockefeller
Report, and they realize their husband/father was actually killed by
experimental LSD and they are compensated for 3/4 of a million
dollars. One of the people who testified at the Committee hearings
at the Senate in 1975 was a technician for Amadeo Morazzi who
was the guy who w as the Head of Edgeware Arsenal where Paul
Hawk got his LSD and mescaline from who was funded by the Air
Force while he was at the University of Minnesota. His research
assistant whose name is Mary Ray(sp) was given a dose of
experimental LSD which resulted in an acute psychotic state for
which she was admitted to hospital for which I have her medical
records, and I am in contact with her lawyer and I am going to go
up and get her story in more detail. She talks about a room that was
involved in the LSD research called "The Leaf Room" so when you
were on your LSD trip that was administered by Amadeo Morazzi
you were taken into the Leaf Room which was a room where all
surfaces of the room were totally covered with leaves. This is weird
stuff. She also was connected into a bunch of other stuff. I am not
going to go into all of it, because it is a little weird, but it is two
hops from Mary Ray to Iran Contra. So she is a real person who
exists. I know her lawyer. I talked to her lawyer on the phone. I am
going to fly up there. I am going to interview her. I have her medical
records. And the way this works is the stuff that is happening now
is not going to be declassified for 20 or 30 years. Eventually we
will have the names of people who were victims of experiments in
the 70's and 80's and 90's. We already have the names for the 50's
and 60's, not really into the 70's. We have the names of specific
people who were victims of the Tuscagee Syphilis Study and the
radiation experiments into the 70's. That's the way it goes. You are
just pushing back that curtain and there's always this lag time
because you are relying on the views of the Intelligence Community
or public apathy ... "it was back in the Cold War" "it's different
now" "we joined the boy scouts and we don't do that anymore". So
there is always a disinformation strategy for wh y it happened a
long time ago and we don't do it now and we are very regretful and
we are so regretful that we in fact agree to compensate these
victims. In Oregon there was a prison where men were paid to be
subjects to participate in radiation experiments. Their testicles had
been irradiated so they would get paid a certain fee to participate in
the radiation of their testicles. Special arrangements were made so
Catholics couldn't participate in the study because they couldn't use
birth control so they might give birth to genetically mutated
children ... so it had to be only non-Catholic participants. There
was an extra fee, it was a little bit fatter, if you would agree to
testicle biopsy to see if the radiation was dropping the sperm count.
When 9 of these people pressed their case to the State Legislature
in Oregon in either the late 70's or early 80's, in its magnanimity,
the Legislature agreed to compensate them for a total of $3000 for
all nine subjects. So this is the way it goes in trying to document
this stuff and trying to make it public and identify the specific
individuals. IT'S A BIG SLOW JOB. And when you make Freedom
of Information requests it's like interacting with any Federal
Bureaucracy.
In fact the CIA has been extremely helpful, extremely polite,
extremely courteous and when I went to the CIA Reading Room in
Washington, it was a very unusual experience. Let me just tell you
the story. Here I am, a Canadian psychiatrist, going down to the
Eastern Regional Conference, and a day early I pop over to the CIA
Reading Room to look at the MKULTRA documents to figure out
which ones I want to order at 10 cents a page which they then
shipped to me which arrives at my office via UPS with CIA
stamped in the corner ... I'm wondering who thinks that's weird ...
so I show up and it is just this building in Virginia, on a street, it is
completely unrecognizable as anything ... I get dropped off there ...
whoa ... there's all these guys in uniforms and here I am, this
civilian. On the wall there is "Secure Telephone CIA and DIA
Only" and I am kind of standing around and some guy says "Good
Morning Sir" ... I say I am here to read some CIA documents. I am
supposed to show up at this location at this time and here is the
letter ... and they're going, CIA jeez ... who are we going to phone
... are you supposed to tell somebody you are here, or how is this
supposed to work? Well, I don't know, I was just told to show up
here ... he says, well, we don't know who was supposed to meet you
... so I say, well, could I use your phone ... not that phone ... this
phone over here. I phone my secretary and ask what's the telephone
number of the contact person? She gives it to me and I tell them
you're supposed to contact this person at this phone number. It's
okay, they say, they're going to be down in a minute. So then I sign
in ... I am escorted up the elevator ... it's all military guys and I'm in
the elevator thinking okay which one of these guys is doing
surveillance on me? I come up to the floor and I am walking along
and it's a federal building and the floor is under repair ... there's all
kinds of construction stuff lying around, and construction guys ... I
go walking along accompanied by this CIA person, and I go into
the first room which has a steel vault door and says "Secured Area:
Treasury Department" ... I go into that room and they close the
door. I am now in a Secured Area. She says Okay sign in here ... I
think I signed in ... I forget. Then I go through another Secured
steel door into a second Secured Area except I can't enter that
Secured Area except from another Secured Space. I sit down and
they bring in all the documents on a little cart and she gives me 15-
20 pencils beautifully sharpened, and a notepad and everything ...
you order which documents you want at the end of the day ... and
there's a woman who is at least 80, if not 85, who is a retired
volunteer, sitting there watching me all day. In the room that I am
in, that is a Secured Space has a door opened back to the hallway
that I came down from the elevator to come to the first Secured
Space to go into the ... I am sitting there working away on this huge
amount of documents all day ... work work work work ... some time
in the middle of the day this old woman comes at me, now I am
thinking, is this old woman trying to pump me for information,
what's here report going to be back at the end of the day? She says,
"well, what's that stuff you are reading?" I am trying to act casually,
I just say, "Well, it's just a bunch of mind control documents from
the 50's and 60's." And she says well, is that stuff classified, and I
say, no, no, it was declassified a long time ago, and she says, well
what do they need me here for? I go, I don't know and then I
stopped talking to her and I started focusing down on the paper. So
then I get distracted by a couple of black guys who are walking
down the corridor who have something to do with the construction.
The 85 year old woman who is watching me has to go to the
restroom so they are assigned to watch me from the door. They're
some black guys who start joking around, oh oh this guy's pretty
dangerous, we'll have to watch him ... then at the end of the day I
leave. That's my experience at the CIA. But the main contact person
is very friendly, very polite, very efficient, very helpful ... and it's
through this process, I mean they have given me these documents,
they are the ones who have made it possible to prove that the CIA
has been creating Manchurian Candidates ... I have all these other
requests on MKSearch, MKNAOMI, and stuff and I am going to
put one in on Stargate. If you want to do a request on an individual,
it turns out that you have to establish his place and date of birth,
his full name, his date of death, the fact that he was an American
citizen, and you have to have public documentation of his death
before they will do a search. Which is the proper protection of
people. So you have to do all of this background research to find
out when did Carl Pfeiffer die, and where did he died, and get a
newspaper clipping from Atlanta to document that. Then you said
all that information into them, and he asks for information on this
particular guy and they send you back the MKULTRA documents
that you already have, that you already know is due to him, except
now his name is not whited out. So a lot of it is just dealing with a
Federal Bureaucracy and it's just REALLY REALLY SLOW and
they say ... we've only got two secretaries and we've got a million
requests and we are too overloaded and we don't have our new
computer system but we are working on it ... it's it's just a VERY
VERY SLOW LABORIOUS PROCESS TO GET THIS STUFF. If
it is already declassified and it is indexed, then you can get it fairly
quickly ... like the MKULTRA stuff. If it is just being organized
and isn't yet declassified, then you get in a line, and you are
piggybacked on top of the first requester. When the first requester
gets the stuff, you will get it as well. MKSEARCH? I have been
waiting for a couple of years already. So it's like ... you're trying to
change the way agriculture is administered in the USA ... it's this
huge laborious process, and you are just trying to egg the
bureaucracy on and on and on ... But just to kind of repeat the
editorial comment, basically I don't have a beef with the
Intelligence Agencies. My beef is with the psychiatrists and the
psychologists. Questions or comments? Q. Do I know if I am being
surveilled? A. I have been approached by millions of people at
conferences. I don't know if any of them are operatives or not. I
have had no negative, scary, frightening, intimidations, threats, my
office hasn't been broken into, no mail tampering, nothing has gone
missing, no patients have done anything weird or dangerous
towards me, nobody has disappeared, no dead chickens on my
doorstep ... nobody has hustled me into a black car and all of a
sudden I am in Topeka, Kansas and I don't know how I got there.
Nothing like that has happened, so I just assume that if it hasn't
happened by now, it's already too late, like what's the point? Part of
this story, and it is the personal side of it, is, how do you work your
way through all this material and get more and more and more of
these connections and not succumb to terminal paranoia? And it's
really just sort of a Zen ... the Zen of investigating military mind
control ... you just have to stay centered and decide not to be
paranoid ... not let it get to you. Because you can get off into how
many witnesses to the JFK assassination are dead, and what about
Pan Am 103, what about Timothy McVeigh's computer chip in his
buttock ... you can really get out there real fast. When he was first
arrested, Timothy McVeigh said he had a computer chip implanted
in his buttock ... On the other hand, I hope Intelligence Agencies
are not so fast asleep ... basically ... it is narcistically injurious to
think they are not paying any attention at all ... I can't take that. I
know for a fact they have a file on me because I have filed millions
of Freedom of Information Act requests. The other thing I know is I
got my Green Card in 1994 at the highest level of Green Card there
is ... it's a level where you don't have to even have a job ... or any
visible sign of support ... and I got this Immigration lawyer who put
my whole c.v., and all my publications, and letters from people
together, and so that involves, obviously, a security screen by the
State Department which means connected to Justice and connected
to FBI etc etc so I know I have been screened through all that kind
of mechanism and come out ... in fact, I had to go to Calgary for the
Green Card and the consulate came up and shook my hand and
said, "boy I bet you we've got a lot if dissociation disorders right
here ... we could really use you." [lots of laughter] Q. unintelligible
A. I think they are trying to pretend that they are not going to get
uncovered and just carry on with life and enjoy their retirements ...
Over all, what's going on now ... I assume that there is still a lot of
research funding through cutouts with unwitting investigators ... I
assume there is a bunch of witting investigators. There is another
arm going on currently ... that's artificial intelligence Overall, what
is going on now? I assume that there is still a lot of funding of
research through cutouts with unwitting investigators. I assume
there is a bunch of witting investigators. Let me tell you about
another arm that is going on currently. That is artificial intelligence
research. I know that, for instance, Marvin Merskey at MIT, in his
book, "The Society of Minds", he acknowledges his extensive
Office of Naval Research Funding. That goes back to John Lilly
who is tied into the LSD network who treated dolphins with LSD -
he was involved in communication with dolphins - it is a
documented fact they have been used to swim up to ships to blow
them up - with bombs attached to the dolphins during the Vietnam
War. We hear weird stuff from patients sometimes about dolphins
and mind control. John Lilly is tied into the LSD network and I
have him attending CIA sponsored LSD symposia. He invented the
flotation tank - flotation tank is in network in all the sensory
deprivation stuff and mixed in with hallucinogens. He wrote a
program on metaprogramming and the human computer which is an
early artificial intelligence treatise that basically defines a
modularity model of the human mind which is the dominant model
of neuronetworks, all that area of artificial intelligence and a whole
bunch of different Office of Naval Research funding. That is
ongoing up to the present ... there is Office of Naval Research
funding for this kind of project ... also for rat physiology, rat
psychology ... research that has to do with modularity of brain
functions and modularity of memory which all is directly relevant
to creating Manchurian Candidates because you want to know the
modular organization of the brain. Q. ____ A. If the hypothesis is
that ... now I am not saying that everybody on the FMSF Advisory
Board consciously is aware of this ... most of them are totally out to
lunch and have never heard of it or thought of it ... the point would
be that the Intelligence Agencies have somehow penetrated the
FMS movement and are trying to spin it in that direction and
amplify it for those purposes and candidate people for Intelligence
oversight would be Martin Orne, Joly West, Richard Ofshe, etc.
Maybe Michael Persinger. So if that is the hypothesis, the basic
thing is to cover up government created Manchurian Candidates,
why are all the patients coming in with SRA stories? Well, that
could be just accidentally related and just part of a cultural hysteria
and not real. The other paranoid conspiracy theory is that the
Intelligence Agencies sub-contracted the cults to prime the children
to be good subjects for really really complicated Manchurian
Candidates. Because if you just start with G.I. Joe at age 19, you
can't get intensely polyfragmented multi layers of defense system in
place very easily. One of the pieces of logic that I didn't mention is
... if you go back to G.H. Estabrooks in WWII, he is creating one
alter personality in an adult recruit. Let's look at the stages the
computer is at during WWII and run up to 1996. We have to
postulate that the technical advance and the increase in complexity
in mind control research operations is at least somewhat parallel to
the complexity of artificial intelligence, all the rest of science, etc.
So if they are still doing it, it's got to be a lot more complicated.
You can't get to a lot more complicated from a foundation of a
normal 18 year old military recruit ... so that's the ultimate in
paranoid conspiracy theory. It's a matter of putting windows in the
program ... the first window that comes open is the SRA -- the
window behind that is the military mind control. Alternatively the
whole SRA thing itself could be deliberate disinformation that has
been implanted in the culture. Broaden the question a little bit.
What's my political recommendation on what should be the legal
liability of government induced Manchurian Candidates for
criminal acts that they have perpetrated? I would say that we should
have a double amnesty program. And this is for strategic purposes.
Politics is the art of the impossible. Some people could say this is
unethical and this is caving in and playing the game. I think we
have to have a double amnesty program for any criminal acts
conducted by government induced Manchurian Candidates in the
course of the government operations-and also amnesty for their
handlers. Because if we don't have that, then the drive to keep it all
covered up is too great. My basic argument is that the Intelligence
Community has been sold a bogus bill of goods by these guys, like
G.H. Estabrooks and all his heirs down the line. It is overkill, it is
unnecessary, it's ridiculous ... you can just drop it ... and there will
be no operational loss. Do I know that for a fact? I haven't got the
faintest idea. But that's what I propose to them-they could do their
own analysis. If we are going to stop it, and let it come out to the
public, that will never happen if the individual handlers and
operators in the Intelligence Community are going to be nailed in
public and personally responsible. So there has to be a double
amnesty program ... but then there has to be financial compensation
for the victims who get identified. That is less likely to happen if
the compensation comes out of the Intelligence budget- therefore, it
ought to come out of general Federal funds-not to reduce
Intelligence funding-otherwise you have set up systemic
disincentive for this stuff to ever be declassified. However, that
should not cover drug, pimping, and other operations run on the
side by handlers doing Manchurian Candidates. Q.__ A. This is an
extremely tricky question that you are asking. Why does a
government created multiple get off the hook and a domestic
created multiple doesn't? The domestic created multiple is not
going to be happy. I will give the reason I don't let the domestic
created multiple off the hook-really quickly-it is that it destroys the
foundation of recovery. The foundation of recovery is "you are not
insane, you're not out of control, it's something you created inside
yourself to survive, you can un-learn it, and be well." And part of
healing is being responsible for what you do now. If we don't do
that, the whole unit gets behaviourally out of control. So, like it or
not, we hold people responsible for the behaviour of their alters,
and I don't view DID as grounds for an insanity defense in and of
itself. So then you are going to say, well why doesn't that then
apply to these government created people? Well, I just think it is
different. When you've been deliberately, systematically
experimented on by a government, you deserve a bit of a break for
actions which you have committed as part of your government
assignment ... in other words, if you are a Manchurian Candidate
and you are just out in the world and you go out and rape
somebody, good, you do the crime, you do the time, that's my
attitude. I am only talking about crimes that they have committed,
specifically on assignment for the military Intelligence Agencies.
They are basically soldiers at war. Q. __ A. Where does Charter
Hospital fit in? I would like to know if Charter fits in anywhere.
One thing that I would be willing to do, would be to run a
classified unit for treatment of these individuals. I would be very
happy to do that and to negotiate a Management Services Contract
with the Federal government to do that- R. Q. __ A. Does any of
my work support Cory Hammond's talk at the Regional Eastern
Conference in 1992 for which he has been attacked and ridiculed
about Dr. Green and all that? Not directly. Indirectly, and when you
tie into the Paperclip conspiracy ... I am getting the documentation
much closer to conclusion, that, if not Dr. Green, some
psychological warfare experts must have been brought over from
Nazi Germany. So that part of it is no longer kooky. I think that
Cory Hammond made a strategic error by going too far out beyond
his documentation too fast, and leaving himself exposed to ridicule.
Although I am thankful to him that he did that because then I
learned alternative strategies. Q. ___ A. The whole way that the
tobacco industry is set up ... regulated, not regulated, funded,
lobbied, and the disinformation campaign that it is run by the
tobacco companies-is basically effective-they are still being sold
and they are still making a profit off of killing people. So you
could say that's like a lung control experimentation program that
has been run by the tobacco companies and everybody is just kind
of, in effect, letting it go by. Except actually the medical profession
and the public has gotten on tobacco way more than they have ever
gotten on mind control ... but we will change that with the book
and the movie. (Laughter and much applause)
