When child trafficking becomes normalized in America, the creation of "sub-humans" for medical and "science" experimentation also becomes normalized. During the 1950s and 60s, the CIA required an enormous number of these "sub-humans." They actually advanced a very sophisticated "science" designed to create and justify an enormous child-trafficking industry. Today the same elitist attitudes apply to active child trafficking employing drugs, hysteria and other Mind Control devices, all to advance a future scientific dictatorship. But is this real science or eugenics and ancient slave-making witchcraft and "sex magic"? Given that the CIA was intimately involved in raping children, bizarre drug, Mind Control and Nazi war-logic propaganda, why should our children now be required to live by their Cold War ideas of "science?"
In the second half of the 20th century, mind control projects resulted in extensive political abuse of psychiatry in North America which only served the CIA's war-logic. Many thousands of prisoners, mental patients and children were subjected to unethical mind control experiments by leading psychiatrists and medical schools. Organized academic psychiatry has never acknowledged this history. The network of mind control doctors involved has done a great deal of harm to the field of psychiatry and to psychiatric patients. By allowing our government to commit horrible crimes against children, these "sciences" have been wrongly manipulated and have fallen into disrepute. But they now have been fully institutionalized and ingrained as a "science." We now know that many of these unnecessary experiments were "pre-ordained" not to advance scientific truth but to advance political propaganda, eugenics and slave-making programs for the Pentagon. By following how this "science" has been encoded, we can prove how these horrific crimes have become "normalized" as science.
The work of the mind control doctors did not occur in a vacuum. The importation of Nazi doctors to the US through secret programs like PAPERCLIP is part of the context. Mind control experimentation was not only tolerated by medical professionals, but published in psychiatric and medical journals. Mind Control became "normalized" as a "science" for totalitarian social control. The climate was permissive, supportive, and approving of mind control experimentation. Complete judicial negligence meant that children were never protected by their own Constitution. Parental rights and Civil Rights did not exist in these "sub-humans."
Today a "divide and conquer" war-logic creates "sub-humans" on a massive scale and is done invisibly. The extreme use of pacifying drugs, incarceration, government imposed trauma and more Alpha level sex-drugs-usury Mind Control devices than can be listed all serve the same function: destroy the authority of the parent and give this authority to the elitist state.
Dr. William Sweet participated in both brain electrode implant experiments and the injection of uranium into medical patients at Harvard University. The 925-page Final Report. Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments tells the story of radiation experiments, and their linkage to mind control.
Martin Orne is one of the leading experts on hypnosis of the 20th century. For about 30 years, he was the editor of The International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis. Dr. Orne is one of two psychiatrists professionally still active into the late 1990’s who is a documented CIA mind control contractor (along with Dr. Louis Jolyon West).
P. Janet asked a “deeply hypnotized female to commit several murders before a distinguished group of judges, stabbing some victims with rubber daggers and poisoning others with sugar tablets.” The hypnotized subject did all these things without hesitation.
Army doctors were actively involved in LSD testing at least until the late 1970’s. Subjects of LSD experiments included children as young as five years old, and brain electrodes were implanted in children as young as 11 years of age. Four of the CIA’s MKULTRA Subprojects were on children. The mind control doctors included presidents of the American Psychiatric Association and psychiatrists who received full-page obituaries in the American Journal of Psychiatry. Responsibility for the unethical experimentation lies first with the individual doctors, but also collectively with the medical profession, and with academia as a whole.
The MKULTRA contractor about whom the most has been written is Dr. Ewen Cameron. At various times, Dr. Cameron was President of the American, Canadian, and World Psychiatric Associations. He was one of four co-founders of the World Psychiatric Association. Dr. Cameron began conducting unethical, unscientific, and inhumane brainwashing experiments in the 1930’s. Schizophrenic patients were forced to lie naked in red light for eight hours a day for periods as long as eight months. Another experiment involved overheating patients in an electric cage until their body temperatures reached 102 degrees.
From January 1957 until September 1960, Dr. Cameron’s project received $64,242.44 in CIA funds. When the CIA stopped funding him, Cameron received $57,750 from the Canadian government to continue his research from 1961 to 1964. The actual number of patients on whom Cameron tried varieties of his experimental techniques is reported as 332.
Linda MacDonald was a victim of Dr. Ewen Cameron’s unethical, destructive mind control experiments in 1963. Dr. Cameron used a “treatment” which involved intensive application of three brainwashing techniques; drug disinhibition, prolonged sleep, and prolonged psychological isolation. These were combined with ECT [Electro Convulsive Therapy] treatments. The amount of electricity introduced into Linda’s brain exceeded by 76.5 times the maximum amount recommended in the ECT Guidelines of the American Psychiatric Association. Dr. Cameron’s “depatterning” technique resulted in permanent and complete amnesia. Dr. Cameron proved that doctors skilled in the right procedures can erase a subject’s memory. To this day, Linda MacDonald is unable to remember anything from her birth to 1963. As recorded by nurses in her chart, Linda was completely disoriented. She didn’t know her name, age or where she was. She didn’t recognize her children. She couldn’t read, drive, cook, or use a toilet. Not only did she not know her husband, she didn’t even know what a husband was.
Life changed for Linda when the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation program, The Fifth Estate, aired a segment on Dr. Cameron on January 17, 1984. A Vancouver newspaper ran a full-page story on Robert Loggie, a Vancouver man who had been experimented on by Dr. Cameron. Loggie was a plaintiff in the class action suit against the CIA for Dr. Cameron’s MKULTRA experiments, which was settled out of court for $750,000, divided among the eight plaintiffs in 1988. Eventually Linda got $100,000 plus legal fees from the Canadian government.
J.G. Watkins “induced a soldier to strike an officer by suggesting that the officer was a Japanese soldier.” In another experiment, two subjects who were told to throw sulphuric acid at a laboratory assistant (protected by glass) complied with the hypnotist’s commands.
G.H. Estabrooks is the only mind control doctor who has publicly acknowledged the building of Manchurian Candidates. In his book Spiritism, Dr. Estabrooks describes experiments done to create multiple personality. In his book Hypnotism, Dr. Estabrooks states that the creation of experimental multiple personality for operational use in military subjects, whom he refers to as super spies, is ethical because of the demands of war. This "war-logic" has driven virtually all eugenics "sciences" throughout the 20th Century.
In a 1971 article in Science Digest, Dr. Estabrooks claimed to have created hypnotic couriers and counterintelligence agents for operational use. “By the 1920’s not only had [clinical hypnotists] learned to apply posthypnotic suggestion, but also to split certain complex individuals into multiple personalities like Jeckyl-Hydes. During World War II, I worked this technique with a vulnerable Marine lieutenant I’ll call Jones. I split his 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, and was deliberately given a dishonorable discharge by the Corps and became a card-carrying party member. 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.”
Dr. Estabrooks did experiments on children. He corresponded with FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover about using hypnosis to interrogate juvenile delinquents. His experimentation raises the possibility that he or other investigators might have attempted to create Manchurian Candidates in children. Such a possibility might seem far-fetched until one considers the LSD, biological and radiation experiments conducted on children, and the fact that four MKULTRA Subprojects were on children. The deliberate creation of multiple personality in children is an explicitly stated plan in the MKULTRA Subproject Proposal submitted for funding on May 30, 1961.
LSD Tests
From 1950 until the 1970s, the CIA collaborated closely with the US Army while conducting LSD and other chemical tests on humans. Experiments were conducted where none of the volunteers gave their ‘informed consent’ prior to receiving LSD. There was a deliberate attempt to deny the volunteers any information that would have permitted them to evaluate the dangers involved. Most of the related records have been destroyed.
A field test plan called for use of LSD on foreign nationals overseas. The Surgeon General “offered no medical objections to the field experimental plan.” Because of war-logic these experiments were advanced as a "science" where pharmacology of mind-alterations became fully "normalized" as a legitimate function of most "pain" medications. Subjects for the proposed field test were to be non-volunteer, foreign nationals. It is clear that from the start to finish the project violated Department of Defense policies, as well as specific procedures set for chemical or medical research.
Frank Olson was a biological warfare expert. He committed suicide after being given LSD hidden in liqueur by Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, Director of MKULTRA. Olson’s family determined that he committed suicide subsequent to a bad LSD trip only after reading Nelson Rockefeller’s 1975 report on the CIA, finally published 22 years after Olsen’s death. They were given $750,000 in compensation by Congress.
Electronic Implants
Jose Delgado’s development of the Stimoceiver in the 1950s brought intelligence agencies’ ultimate dream of controlling human behavior one step closer to reality. The Stimoceiver—a miniature electrode capable of receiving and transmitting electronic signals by FM radio—could be placed within an individual’s cranium. And once in place, an outside operator could manipulate the subject’s responses. Delgado demonstrated the potential of his Stimoceivers by wiring a fully-grown bull. With the device in place, Delgado stepped into the ring with the bull. The animal charged towards the experimenter – and then suddenly stopped, just before it reached him. The powerful beast had been stopped with the simple action of pushing a button on a small box held in Delgado’s hand.
Dr. Delgado, a neurosurgeon and professor at Yale, received funding for brain electrode research on children and adults. He did research in monkeys and cats, and in one paper describes the cats as “mechanical toys.” He was able to control the movements of his animal and human subjects by pushing buttons on a remote transmitter box. In 1966, Delgado asserted that his experiments “support the distasteful conclusion that motion, emotion and behavior can be directed by electrical forces, and that humans can be controlled like robots by push buttons.”
An 11-year old boy underwent a partial change of identity upon remote stimulation of his brain electrode: “Electrical stimulation of the superior temporal convolution induced confusion about his sexual identity. These effects were specific, reliable, and statistically significant. For example, the patient said, 'I was thinking whether I was a boy or a girl,' and 'I’d like to be a girl.'" After one of the stimulations the patient suddenly began to discuss his desire to marry the male interviewer. Temporal-lobe stimulation produced in another patient open manifestations and declarations of pleasure, accompanied by giggles and joking with the therapist. In two adult female patients stimulation of the same region was followed by discussion of marriage and expression of a wish to marry the therapist.
Brain electrode research was also conducted independently at Harvard by Dr. Delgado’s coauthors, Drs. Vernon Mark, Frank Ervin, and William Sweet. Mark and Ervin describe implanting brain electrodes in a large number of patients at Harvard hospitals. A patient named Jennie was 14 years old when they put electrodes in her brain. In their book Violence and the Brain, photographs show 18-year old Julia smiling, angry, or pounding the wall depending on which button is being pushed on the transmitter box sending signals to her brain electrodes. The mind control doctors saw their patients as biological machines, a view which made them sub-human, and therefore easier to abuse in mind control experiments.
Dr. Robert G. Heath, Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry and Neurology at Tulane University, placed brain electrodes in a young homosexual man and fitted him with a box. A button on the box could be used to electrically stimulate an electrode implanted in a pleasure center. During one three-our period, the patient, referred to as B-19, stimulated himself 1,500 times. “During these sessions, B-19 stimulated himself to a point that he was experiencing an almost overwhelming euphoria and elation, and had to be disconnected, despite his vigorous protests."
Dr. John Lilly describes the technique of electrode implantation. “Electrodes could be implanted in the brain without using anesthesia. Short lengths of hypodermic needle tubing equal in length to the thickness of the skull were quickly pounded through the scalp into the skull. These stainless steel guides furnished passageways for the insertion of electrodes into the brain to any desired distance and at any desired location. Because of the small size of the sleeve guides, the scalp quickly recovered from the small hole made in it, and the sleeve guide remained imbedded in the bone for months to years. At any time he desired, the investigator could palpate [rub] the scalp and find the location of each of the sleeve guides. Once one was found, he inserted a needle down through the bone. After withdrawing the needle, the investigator placed a small sharp electrode in the track made by the needle and pressed the electrode through the skull and down into the substance of the brain to any desired depth."
Non-Lethal Weapons
Non-lethal weapons is a broad category which includes devices for beaming various kinds of energy at human targets in order to temporarily incapacitate them, or to control or affect their behavior. Non-lethal weapons research has been conducted at universities on contract to the CIA, and has overlapped with research on hallucinogens and brain electrode implants.
In 1991, Janet Morris, one of the main proponents of non-lethal weapons, issued a number of papers. According one paper, US Special Operations Command already had a portable microwave weapon. “US Special Forces can cook internal organs.” Another concept was ‘Infrasound’ using acoustic beams. Laboratories were developing a high power, very low frequency acoustic beam weapon projecting non-penetrating acoustic bullets. Already, some governments have used infrasound as a means of crowd control. Very low frequency (VLF) sound, or low frequency RF modulations can cause nausea, vomiting and abdominal pains. “Some very low frequency sound generators can cause the disruption of human organs and, at high power levels, can crumble masonry.”
Funding of these experiments began in MKULTRA. Subproject 62 documents “certain kinds of radio frequency energy have been found to effect reversible neurological changes in chimpanzees.” Subproject 54 was studying how to produce concussions from a distance using mechanical blast waves propagated through the air. Such a concussion “is always followed by amnesia for the actual moment of the accident.” It also states: “The blast duration would be in the order of a tenth of a second. Masking of a noise of this duration should not be difficult. It would be advantageous to establish the effectiveness of both of the above methods as a tool in brain-wash therapy.”
A confidential report prepared by the US Army as early as 1969 detailed the effect an infra-sonic system would have on humans. These effects range from disruption of nervous systems to death.
That such weapons have been used can be in little doubt. When the deployment of Cruise missiles at American bases in the UK was at its height, women peace campaigners staged a series of highly publicized peaceful protests outside the perimeter wires. In late 1985, the women in the peace camps at Greenham Common began to experience unusual patterns of illness, ranging from severe headaches, drowsiness, menstrual bleeding at abnormal times or after the onset of menopause, to bouts of temporary paralysis and faulty speech coordination. Electronics Today magazine carried out a number of measurements, and in December 1985 published their report which concluded: “Readings taken with a wide range of signal strength meters showed marked increases in the background signal level near one of the women’s camps at a time when they claimed to be experiencing ill effects.” They noted that if the women created noise or a disturbance near the fence, the signals rose sharply.
The evidence in hand suggests that the technology to produce ‘voices in the head’ does exist. The Department of Defense has already acquired the technology to alter consciousness through various projects and programs. A patent discusses methods and system for altering consciousness. The abstract from once such program states: “Researchers have devised a variety of systems for stimulating the brain to exhibit specific brain wave rhythms and thereby alter the state of consciousness of the individual subject.” Silent subliminal messages [were] “used throughout Operation Desert Storm (Iraq) quite successfully.”
A US State Department report suggested it was possible to induce a heart attack in a person from a distance with radar.
By 1974, Stanford Research Institute had developed a computer system capable of reading a person’s mind by correlating the brain waves of subjects on an electroencephalograph with specific commands. The concept of mind-reading computers is no longer science fiction. Neither is their use by Big Brotherly governments. Major Edward Dames of Psi-Tech said in April 1995 on NBC’s The Other Side program: “The US government has an electronic device which could implant thoughts in people.” Dames would not comment any further.
The latest development in the technology of induced fear and mind control is the cloning of the human EEG or brain waves of any targeted victim, or indeed groups. With the use of powerful computers, segments of human emotions which include anger, anxiety, sadness, fear, embarrassment, jealousy, resentment, shame, and terror, have been identified and isolated within the EEG signals as ‘emotion signature clusters.’ Their relevant frequencies and amplitudes have been measured. Then the very frequency/amplitude cluster is synthesized and stored on another computer. Each one of these negative emotions is separately tagged. They are then placed on the Silent Sound carrier frequencies and could silently trigger the occurrence of the same basic emotion in another human being.
Research into hysteria and hysteria-building devices has also advanced tenfold since Mengele "perfected" hysteria induced amnesia, confussion and trauma-based Mind Control. Hypnosis methods employing sexual taboos is now routinely employed in mass media and interrogation methods against children and adults throughout the U.S. and all of these methods required trauma-based "sciences" applied to our "enemies."
Reverse Mind Control identifies the main pillars of the new atheist belief system, including a simplified world view of us versus them, intolerance and an irrational belief in science as the force that will resolve all problems, including the irredeemable flaws of human nature. RMC argues that this belief is itself an act of faith. Most of these atheists, like the Christian fundamentalists, support the preemptive wars of the United States as a necessity in the battle against terrorism and irrational religion. They divide the world into superior and inferior races, those who are enlightened by reason and knowledge and those who are governed by irrational and dangerous religious beliefs. Our collective drive to war against terrorism describes the Muslim world in language that is as racist, crude and intolerant as that used by Pat Robertson or the late Jerry Falwell. Propagandists misuse Darwin and evolutionary biology, which never posits that moral evolution is possible, just as the Christian fundamentalists misuse the Bible. RMC argues that they are a secular version of the religious Right.
Do you feel disgust for racial or sexual issues in America? You may have been programmed to feel this way by your own government. Such a visceral response to common human sexuality or racism is not found in much of post-war Europe, for these crude indoctrination devices used by fascists in the 1930s and 1940s have been eliminated in much of Europe. They are not eliminated in the United States. Were you suspended in ignorance about basic sex education or racial equality as a child? Was sexual or racial ignorance allowed to fester in your childhood by those adults who would not teach you better? This is how social conservatives, mainly Republicans, indoctrinate children in the United States in order for them to falsely accept ignorance and sexual humiliation as a normal part of life!
Richard Nixon and the "silent majority" knew that imposed ignorance served as an effective indoctrinational device for small children. It serves to "traffic new recruits" into the Pentagon and military service. This imposed ignorance also helps to infect HIV/AIDS, bigotries and political manipulation onto these children as well.
As you read this blog, you will learn that there is nothing "moral" about ignorance, though this con against children is necessary for Republicans in America. In the 1960s, actual Pentagon studies suggested ways to stimulate military recruitment by indoctrinating children with authoritarian systems of imposed ignorance and sexual humiliation for those who do not conform. This is not a half-baked, liberal conspiracy myth, these are actual, ongoing programs employed in the U.S. against your children and these are FACTS. Authoritarian systems only work if children are indoctrinated into them. If your children are in the political, ethnic or racial minority, your children will be good prospects for military recruitment and sexually humiliated and suspended in dangerous ignorance by political design. Even the hacks implementing this child trafficking are ignorant of the political processes that it serves.
By suspending your children in sexual ignorance for much longer than is healthy or normal, these programs serve to breed them as "conformists." This process requires learned ignorance, or the acceptance of simplistic mythic systems over actual science or facts. For example, many of the current "abstinence sex ed" programs financed with public money are designed to suspend children in dangerous ignorance about critical knowledge that can empower them. These programs do not work, because children are not mentally one-dimensional.
Freud has proven over 100 years ago that adults and children function on multiple layers of consciousness and should be educated and nurtured accordingly. Even though parents know intuitively that sex education is necessary for their children, government continues to advance a simplistic, one-dimensional political approach to child rearing, teaching only on the level of what Freud called "the super ego" or social consciousness. We now know, that children must learn on more primitive levels of consciousness as well, where it is best left to parents and not bureaucrats. Mothers who would demand their right to breast-feed would understand this form of nurturing. Most Europeans understand that fathers may also serve an inate and instinctive nurturing and sex education function for children. But many Americans have a strong bigotry against fathers in providing basic sex education.
Evangelical Republicans are very familiar with simplistic mythic systems and require these for political recruitment as well. These simplistic mythic systems serve to unify ethnically-centered groups. But our Constitution does not recognize religious or political mythic systems as legitimate in our judicial system. These conditioning forces are protected only outside of government, not within government itself. Those bureaucrats who enforce learned ignorance by state force, such as police officers, are not constitutional. What's worse, this imposed ignorance is how many Republicans are made, and they will guard this horrific truth with their lives. This process of dumbing down of our children for political reasons in public schools has been on-going and is completely illegal, unconstitutional and violates many International agreements. Americans seem to have no problem understanding how such political manipulation worked against the Japanese population during WWII to build authoritarian conformity for their glorious "Republic," but they cannot understand that these same techniques are being applied by American Republicans. But many Americans are themselves products of learned ignorance, and accept ignorance themselves. This is precisely how Republicans rule. After many years of Republican rule, we are finding many cases like my family's where sexual humiliation and repression is erupting as an hysteria in our children.
It is astonishing to what lengths social conservatives are going to spread the myth that sex education promotes sex. Most every pediatrician knows that timely sex education given by parents empowers children not to engage in sex. After HIV/AIDS, sex education should be mandatory and not an option for our children. Republicans are now forming actual sex cults within government to enforce sexual repression and probe into the private lives of American families. These cults are not based on science, but upon taboo and myth. They are falsifying records of good parents who teach basic sex education and are presenting these parents as "lewd" or "corrupting" in order to traffic in their children. This illegal intrusion into the family can be easily proven in case after case. Just like Nazis of the past, these criminals thoroughly document their crimes! It doesn't take a genius in the media or in a law firm to expose these cases of de factochild abuse. There are hundreds of thousands of private conspirators supporting this illegal industry.
Learned ignorance and sexual repression as imposed in early childhood is at the heart of an enormous fraud against our government and our children. The way my family was targeted and destroyed will convince you that this issue is very real and absolutely critical to Republicans to keep them in power. This is the most important blog on the Internet addressing a multi-billion dollar fraud against federal programs that target our children. The lawyer or law firm that fights this fraud will earn the right to enormous rewards. As our children are indoctrinated through learned ignorance by a factory school system that serves the Pentagon, the industrial factories no longer exist! This is the very definition of culpable negligence and it's time for the legal industry to wake up!
To indoctrinate our children with ignorance and sexual myths in this way is an overwhelming fraud, yet, today, this learned ignorance stands to kill them by the millions and indoctrinate them with avoidable and antiquated bigotries and pure political manipulation. To hide this horrendous business, active sex cults are employed through government agencies to spread fear, ignorance and myths. These sex cults enforce the criminal repression required by the Pentagon. These are real crimes committed against our children and are grossly unconstitutional and very easy to prove!
Jena 6 protesters look to Bedford Springs, Bedford, Pennsylvania for civil rights gathering point. The site of the historic Dred Scott decision, where Dred Scott walked into the Supreme Court a free man and left a slave, is now a focal point for civil rights awareness. Bedford County, Pennsylvania has virtually no minority population due to active discrimination programs that target the children of minorities for "conformity."
This blog addresses one case that is the most representative of Republican political attacks on small children. Sexual hysteria and humiliation is a bi-product of this administration's "faith-based" health care system and sexual ignorance is actively conditioned into our children illegally. This one case will prove this monumental fraud against our children beyond any doubt. It only takes lawyers, politicians and parents of true courage and intellect to acknowledge the truth about what's really going on. Active sex cults are targeting our children and they are very real, being an active part of our government itself.
President Jimmy Carter: "Deprived of proper sex education, American girls are five times as likely to have a baby as French girls, seven times as likely to have an abortion, and seventy times as likely to have gonerrhea as girls in the Netherlands. Also, the incidence of HIV/AIDS among American teenagers is five times that of the same age in Germany."
Given these horrific social facts concerning girls alone, what are the faith-based hacks in government now doing to protect and empower these children? They are forming illegal sex cults within government and conducting secret sex inquisitions to destroy "liberal" parent-child bonds. This is the real Bush legacy that any first-year law student can prove! Republicans are secretly promoting ignorance, superstition and fear. Where these wrongs touch our children, you will find a million frauds.
The reason for so much illness in American girls is that it is taboo to talk about it. Republicans criminalize or terrorize those parents who talk about it in case after case. In fact, our military mission requires the trafficking of children into the Pentagon, just as the Japanese and Germans did the same thing to their children in the 1930s, but at what cost? Republicans create these horrific industries and sustain them indefinitely by mythical grand delusions. They all require sustained learned ignorance. Instead of attacking these many endless wars in their true context, fundamentalist extremists continue to promote Talibanic sexual taboos that support a terrorism industry, a drug industry and an industry of "endless war" in Iraq. Even when these wars are obviously failing, these extremists find absurd and irrational excuses for this failure like a "religious" protestor's sign at a young marine's funeral: "God hates Fags." Republicans want to promote irrationality on top of irrationality and a new industry in America: Child Trafficking. This is the very definition of criminality and the only way they can avoid a new military draft which might actually target their own children or grandchildren. Have you ever heard a single Republican supporting a universal draft?
But does anyone stop to ask if all of these Republican wars are actually sustainable? Indoctrinate children with sexual learned ignorance when they are young and eventually they will adopt the learned ignorance of industrialized killing by joining the military. But what about the drug war? the open borders war? and the war on child predators? As a true libertarian, I know that none of these "wars" are necessary. In fact, none of these wars are anti-fascist, as the U.S. war against fascism during WWII. These Republican wars are all pro-fascist wars initiated, guided and exploited by corporations. They are in fact political inventions for sustained Republican political power that sustains a corporate elite. Every one of these wars directly support huge industries, the vast majority of which is managed by Republicans. Your children will undoubtedly get caught up in one or more of these Republican wars, so educate yourself.
Just as Prohibition did not work for a protestant Republican moralist movement 80 years ago, imposed ignorance on children in the guise of sex education is not going to work for this Republican regime. We know that they require ignorance and fear to sustain their hold on power. All fascist movements require this. All fascist movements raise and train their children within a draconian orthodoxy. This only works if this authoritarian method employs sexual repression when children are young and this method is sustained for generations, eventually becoming widely accepted as "normal." History shows that this is only "normal" in war-mongering and failed cultures. But just as the Prohibition years showed a bizarre increase in underground criminal activity regarding alcohol, we are now seeing bizarre activity concerning sexual repression and the illegal, underground child trafficking industry. There is nothing normal about this industry, if one were to actually study it. Government agencies are actively trafficking the children of "nonconforming," "liberal" parents for political purposes, and this is well documented in none other than the Pentagon archives. Those who do not want to see the relationship between broken, non-Republican families in America and our "endless wars" are ONLY those Republicans who were raised not to see this. Virtually everyone else on earth can see the truth through this madness.
Early childhood sex education, as advocated at Harvard in the 1980s to fight the ill effects of sexual repression, sexual exploitation and the AIDS crisis, is proving to be broadly successful as these children are becoming adults. Yet these programs are actively denounced by the Bush White House as "liberal" as it spends $170 million on abstinence-only, early-ignorance programs in 2005 alone. These "faith-based" ignorance programs have been proven not to work! That is, they do not keep children from having sex but are effective in supporting an authoritarian system. This education is designed to postpone normal sexual knowledge and not address the human condition as it really is. Yet the early childhood sex education programs of the 1980s are clearly working, being based on sound science and not religion. To the horror of Republicans, however, 90% of these science-based children are voting for Democratic causes. Therefore, the faith-based initiatives of the Bush administration are targeting parents like myself secretly and illegally who educate their children with real facts and at proper times. My family's case will be fully documented to prove this utterly unconstitutional fraud against our children.
The nation is becoming hysterical as our children are negligently suspended in ignorance and we are collectively propagandized by a fraudulently Republican media bias that sees "predators" virtually everywhere. After priests, teachers and parents are placed in a sexually hysterical environment of sustained ignorance, they are further labeled as "predators" in case after case where children are to remain ignorant and fearful. Yet we are setting up government bureaucrats and private conspirators as the official gatekeepers of our children's education and safety. This is a moral outrage as these officials are abusing children by the millions! Isn't it time we educate our children at the proper times about facts that can save them and keep them protected by parents? This is why this blog, RobertsCourt.com, is so utterly dangerous to Republicans. Such sex education, as given in the Netherlands for example, would serve to destroy American Fundamentalism and Republicanism, because these authoritarian systems require learned ignorance and fully enforce it. Just as fundamentalists within government claim the Grand Canyon was made by Noah's flood, our children are being fed outrageous lies about sex and abstinence by bureaucrats who are themselves ignorant sexual predators.
This blog addresses the issues as to why early sex education is vehemently attacked by social conservatives. It reveals an enormous fraud against our government and builds a strong case that will topple the Republican "faith-based" house of cards.
It is astonishing that after Abu Ghraib the media has not investigated this incredibly powerful political weapon (sexual humiliation) used by Republicans and their illegal political agents. When my daughter was stolen from me in Bedford County, I became the "enemy" to Republicans who ignorantly promote the myths now routinely employed to traffic children. They failed to realize that at Harvard in the 1980s my research into sexual hysteria exposed this enormous fraud against our children and I was then made a Republican enemy. I am used to it. After all, sex education goes to the heart of their authoritarian power structure. Due to tremendous pressure over the AIDS/HIV crisis, the federal government also exposed this fraud during the Reagan administration. But today, it is a far greater disaster to our children than any other illegal social policy employed by the Radical Right.
I knew too much about this federal fraud when I worked for private conspirators as well as state agencies. I knew that so much money was spent addressing the ills of imposed ignorance that I began this blog as a federal whistleblower to expose this enormous and illegal child trafficking done purely for political reasons in America. My own children were stolen and rape-kitted in an effort to traffic them. But only the smartest lawyer or firm will get behind this issue, because it is not only an issue that is very real, it is surreal, dealing with a taboo subject. It is obviously political, and this will turn most lawyers, but politics is precisely why these children are being abused and why 1 million of them will contract HIV/AIDS!
Imposed sexual repression has been so thoroughly institutionalized, hushed and accepted in all of its bizarre forms under this administration, that it is rarely seen in its true context. It is promoted by post 9/11 Republican "cowboy" hero myths about "saving children from predators" that, in fact, this government and private agencies are now a nightmarish predator targeting our dear children. Without true science, our children have no grounding for understanding and do not understand what is sexual and what is not. Republican weakness in the area of sound and effective sex education, science and human rights means our children are in extreme danger and it's time to wake up! Parents are made to fear basic, traditional sex education. Teachers are made to fear. We would not allow United Nation teams to do these outrages to poor families in other countries, yet we turn a blind eye to massive family destruction here in the United States. This hysteria is addressed in this blog.
Illegal social engineering in America is an overwhelming fact. Tens of thousands of children are illegally trafficked away from their God-given parents in the U.S. each year, due largely to quasi-religious taboos promoted by vaguely evangelical government programs. There is no such thing as "faith-based sex education." Sustained sexual ignorance is an ancient indoctrination device to manipulate and "control" children. Yet, in the modern age, sex education is absolutely critical for child welfare. The faith-based programs that gave Pat Robertson $1.5 million for abstinence-only and early-ignorance sex ed programs have been proven not to work. By suspending younger children in sexual ignorance, they are extremely vulnerable to disease and the many wrongful effects of sexual humiliation due to this ignorance.
Any parent like myself who points to this obvious political fraud against our children will be targeted for silencing as my family has been targeted. Since my children were not fetuses, they were not protected by this faith-based fraud. This truth is the greatest threat to Republican power. But the true scope of this issue is global. That authoritarian regimes, like this Republican one, require sexual repression for their power is nothing new. But the terrorists that this administration claims to fight, are even more dependent upon the primitive, manipulative powers of sexual repression within their own ranks. Both fundamentalists require sexually repressive systems to remain in power.
Eliminate the ignorance of sexual repression and you effectively address the terrorist problem in its proper context. Because of their religious fundamentalism, Republicans are not the ones to address the most sexually repressed radicals in the world: Islamic terrorists.
You will find out how these horribly illegal government programs work by reading this blog and doing your own research. But more importantly, you must learn how to protect your children from active Republican sex cults that are in waiting for them.The psychological conditioning used against your children is so powerful that you will literally not believe it, you are programmed not to believe it, yet its functioning science has been fully documented for nearly 100 years.
If you have any doubts about the utter corruption I have exposed in Bedford County, read my blog and do your own research. You will find that neo-nazi groups proliferate here advancing sexual taboos, sexual humiliation and ignorance against minorities through government institutions and are highly successful in destroying "liberal," educated families. Basic education levels are being repressed by those who work in education itself and ignorance is actively indoctrinated into these children by state force. Private conspirators rubber-stamp this system in a routine manner that violates numerous state, federal and international laws protecting children and parents. Children are routinely separated from their biological parents and made "false orphans" by massive government fraud and deception which fraudulently use federal funds for this dirty work. If your children live here they are in extreme danger because their federal government may not be investigating all of these obvious unconstitutional abuses to children in Bedford County. Parents who speak out are brutally harassed and economically destroyed for educating and empowering their children because these bureaucrats can go to jail for this illegal intimidation. Teen runaway, divorce and drug abuse rates are disproportionately high due to a draconian approach to child rearing, higher than in any other industrialized nation. Unlike in Europe and much of Asia where basic sex education is considered a duty by every parent, in the U.S. today, this education is continually portrayed fraudulently through unscientific taboos by over-zealous conservatives as "sex play" or "sexing up" children when it is done by a man.
Good science has proven that "sex play" and basic curiosity is how children learn about critical sexual matters that can kill them, and this is both parents' duty to educate without the fear of Big Brother government parsing the inherent ambiguities of these times for a sexual lynching of the parents. Whether the parent is male or female, gay or straight, what can intrusive sexual inquisitions actually do for children other than to horrifically, politically manipulate them? Discussions concerning "sex play" that are not presented shamefully or through fear are one of the most effective means of AIDS/HIV education in young children. But conservative attacks against parents who educate can only harm children. Basic sexual knowledge also empowers children to speak openly about sexual matters with parents. Father figures are in a unique position to educate their children in these matters, even as a sexually hysterical culture may illegally attack the fathers for this critical education.
Most every pediatrician knows this and recommends basic sex education in a timely fashion. Leaving children ignorant, leaves them vulnerable.
Republicans in Congress have enacted laws designed to maintain a "minimum standard of child abuse" in order to investigate and prosecute parents in political matters. This is a sophisticated social engineering function long understood as a gross violation of basic human rights. By portraying this education as criminal, lewd or shameful the state literally alienates good parents from their most important duties and risks hundreds of thousands of new AIDS cases in these children by keeping them ignorant and vulnerable. The true source of this state deception, exaggeration and imposed puritanical ignorance is political power and can also be found in numerous dysfunctional school systems where sexual hysteria, fear and fatherlessness is too often imposed on families by illegal government force. Quite commonly, if fathers do not conform to this learned ignorance, the state abuses its powers to criminalize the father away from these families in case after case. This dysfunction destroys the intellectual and emotional development of countless children and the media all too often blame the fathers as "deadbeats."
It's high time the media portray this enormous social problem in the true context: fathers are not the problem, failed government is the problem. If a conservative bias against the male anatomy is to raise the penis to the status of a Colt 45, why don't conservatives get specific about this form of "gun control."
State agents destroy entire school systems by this illegal hysteria under color of law, promoting a culture of shame and ignorance, largely targeting men, and they are themselves suspended in ignorance! Men have external sexuality which many, many women will never understand. Are we to indoctrinate this ignorance into our children? These abusive and illegal intrusions into the family is completely unconstitutional by standing Supreme Court decisions and the resulting Child Trafficking by the state violates many federal and International laws. It is time that parents stand up against this evil and view it in its true context.
It is vitally important that we document the methods now being used to instill fear into children, brainwash parents and traffic children like slaves. In case after case, these state agents use the same fraudulent methods of sexual amplification and false testimony. We will be using this evidence in state, federal and international courts. These abuses of children violate numerous international agreements including the United Nations 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child:
Article 35
"States Parties shall take all appropriate national, bilateral and multilateral measures to prevent the abduction of, the sale of or traffic in children for any purpose or in any form."
This government doesn't want you to know that "any form" actually applies to their illegal political social engineering. This government successfully advances Abu Ghraib conditioning onto your children through sexual shame and I report on the exact practices illegally used by them.
We must document these atrocities now commonplace in America before we are forcibly silenced by the state. We must also hold accountable those government agents who are destroying these families. For this practice requires an underground legal system that is fundamentally unconstitutional and sustained in silence and ignorance and is growing at an alarming rate. This system ignores the blatant use of imposed ignorance as a political weapon as well documented in the Tuskegee Syphilis Studies where racist government agents injected syphilis into unknowing black victims. This process was implemented incrementally and in an environment of absolute secrecy.
Incrementalism is used today to silently advance a new Child Trafficking imperative in America which is designed to destroy minority or politically undesirable populations and substitute bureaucrats for parents. The true extent of this practice is a carefully guarded state secret, as it is so woefully unconstitutional.
One weapon for Republican social engineers is AIDS/HIV ignorance, which is a highly effective depopulation concept. As policy makers have found AIDS/HIV infection grows rapidly in ignorant populations, education addressing this disease is repressed in targeted groups. Such imposed ignorance is now advanced against minority families through state agencies in the U.S. to effectively "depopulate" them and keep minority children ignorant, sick and extremely vulnerable to deadly infections. There is no mystery to this practice, as children learn of sex at earlier and earlier ages due to the media and the Internet, the states education system deliberately retards these childrens' understanding of human sexuality. What's worse, parents who attempt to educate their own children on sexual matters that can kill them, are being criminalized in Ken Starr styled, illegal sexual inquisitions and forcibly removed from their families. Children are then traded for profit in a deadly foster care system that ultimately destroys them in countless ways.
Likewise, these families are routinely destroyed by state force which is rarely questioned for its obvious political utility because it is done in complete silence. Where children of the politically elite are carefully educated about sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS and politically protected from local sex police, minority families are routinely targeted by illegal sex inquisitions designed to keep these children ignorant. Trafficking of children due to critical sex education by parents is the most obvious example of this illegal political depopulation activity. Right-wing media greatly assists this illegal activity by advancing cult-like, irrational fears and bigotries against politically non-conforming parents, depicting them falsely as "predators" or worse. Feminism is not unlike the machoistic abuses of the past, where male sexuality is shrouded in false, taboo, not based upon science or fact. Where children are actively trafficked away from their biological parents, you will find direct and unequivocal evidence of active, genocidal government programs or de facto "cults." Such genocidal programs are specifically outlawed by major International Human Rights agreements which the United States belongs. Yet Republican candidates continue to reject basic human rights at home and abroad. This weakness in basic human rights is precisely why our moral standing in the world has reached new depths of depravity and dysfunction. All state agents who work this despicable child trafficking system are subject to trial for human rights violations of the most severe kind. Only parents can demand that these horrific agents be prosecuted.
This process of trafficking children requires a government created of the elite, by the elite and for the elite. This entire process is so unconstitutional, that it defies any attempt to justify it in constitutional terms. Prosecutors, Welfare agents, police and social workers are now being prosecuted in record numbers for heinous child abuse throughout the nation. These criminals are products of a government bias against politically undesirable parents and it is now time for parents to speak loudly and clearly about these crimes against children. Nowhere is this process more evident than in rural America, as in Bedford County, Pennsylvania. Where basic sex education in the home is depicted as criminal by fraudulent government agents, you will find families destroyed for political social engineering. What is most alarming, however, is that these children must be educated against state agents themselves who are the main exploiters of children in case after case. Such political myths about sex education and small children are thoroughly debunked by Barbara Kemp Huberman at WebMD.com as unhealthy, unnatural and dangerous. Careful study of conservative populations and institutions within the U.S. reveals a deeply disturbing fact: keeping children ignorant at critical stages of their development has been proven to be a medical and moral disaster. We can now demonstrate scientifically that imposed ignorance in children does not lead to purity, it leads to perversion and countless, preventable social ills.
"Liberal" counselors and public defenders are also targeted with bizarre and outrageous sex charges and have no defending attorneys. These cases would actually be rare if children were educated in a timely fashion and politics is not allowed to dominate their lives. The Bedford County location serves to awaken an understanding of basic civil liberties that have been lost in America over the past few years. This awareness is critical for understanding Child Trafficking in America as it serves an illegal cultural and underground movement within our government that targets and destroys minority families in the United States.

In July of 1991, two inmates died at the Vacaville Medical Facility.
According to prison officials at the time, the two may have died
as a result of medical treatment, that treatment was the use of
mind control or behavior modification drugs. A deeper study into
the deaths of the two inmates has unraveled a mind-boggling tale
of horror that has been part of California penal history for a
long time, and one that caused national outcries years ago.
In August of 1991, the Sentinel presented a graphic portrait
of some of the mind control experiments that have been allowed
to continue in the United States. On November 1974 a U.S. Senate
Sub-committee on Constitutional Rights investigated federally-funded
behavior modification programs, with emphasis on federal involvement
in, and the possible threat to individual constitutional rights
of behavior modification, especially involving inmates in prisons
and mental institutions.
The Senate committee was appalled after reviewing documents from
the following sources:
The Neuro-Research Foundation's study entitled "The Medical
Epidemiology of Criminals."
The Center for the Study and Reduction of Violence at UCLA.
The Closed Adolescent Treatment Center.
Control
on Constitutional Rights)
A national uproar was created by various articles in 1974, which
prompted the Senate investigation. But after all these years,
the news that two inmates at Vacaville may have died from these
same experiments indicates that though a nation was shocked in
1974, little was done to end the experimentations. In 1977, a
Senate subcommittee on Health and Scientific Research, chaired
by Senator Ted Kennedy, focussed on the CIA's testing of LSD on
unwitting citizens. Only a mere handful of people within the CIA
knew about the scope and details of the program.
To understand the full scope of the problem, it is important to
study its origins. The Kennedy subcommittee learned about the
CIA Operation MK.-Ultra through the testimony of Dr. Sidney Gottlieb.
The purpose of the program, according to his testimony, was to
"investigate whether and how it was possible to modify an
individual's behavior by covert means".
Claiming the protection of the National Security Act, Dr. Gottlieb
was unwilling to tell the Senate subcommittee what had been learned
or gained by these experiments.
He did state, however, that the program was initially engendered
by a concern that the Soviets and other enemies of the United
States would get ahead of the U.S. in this field.
Information Act)
Through the Freedom of Information Act, researchers are now able
to obtain documents detailing the M.K.-Ultra program and other
CIA behavior modification projects in a special reading room located
on the bottom floor of the Hyatt Regency in Rosslyn, VA.
The most daring phase of the M.K.-Ultra program involved slipping
unwitting American citizens LSD in real life situations. The idea
for the series of experiments originated in November 1941, when
William Donovan, founder and director of the Office of Strategic
Services (OSS), the forerunner of the CIA during World War Two.
At that time the intelligence agency invested $5000 for the "truth
drug" program. Experiments with scopolamine and morphine
proved both unfruitful and very dangerous. The program tested
scores of other drugs, including mescaline, barbituates, benzedrine,
cannabis indica, to name a few.
The U.S. was highly concerned over the heavy losses of freighters
and other ships in the North Atlantic, all victims of German U-boats.
Information about German U-boat strategy was desperately needed
and it was believed that the information could be obtained through
drug-influenced interrogations of German naval P.O.W.s, in violation
of the Geneva Accords.
Tetrahydrocannabinol acetate, a colorless, odorless marijuana
extract, was used to lace a cigarette or food substance without
detection. Initially, the experiments were done on volunteer U.S.
Army and OSS personnel, and testing was also disguised as a remedy
for shell shock. The volunteers became known as "Donovan's
Dreamers". The experiments were so hush-hush, that only a
few top officials knew about them. President Franklin Roosevelt
was aware of the experiments. The "truth drug" achieved
mixed success.
The experiments were halted when a memo was written: "The
drug defies all but the most expert and search analysis, and for
all practical purposes can be considered beyond analysis."
The OSS did not, however, halt the program. In 1943 field tests
of the extract were being conducted, despite the order to halt
them. The most celebrated test was conducted by Captain George
Hunter White, an OSS agent and ex-law enforcement official, on
August Del Grazio, aka Augie Dallas, aka Dell, aka Little Augie,
a New York gangster.
Cigarettes laced with the acetate were offered to Augie without
his knowledge of the content. Augie, who had served time in prison
for assault and murder, had been one of the world's most notorious
drug dealers and smugglers. He operated an opium alkaloid factory
in Turkey and he was a leader in the Italian underworld on the
Lower East Side of New York. Under the influence of the drug,
Augie revealed volumes of information about the underworld operations,
including the names of high ranking officials who took bribes
from the mob. These experiments led to the encouragement of Donovan.
A new memo was issued: "Cigarette experiments indicated that
we had a mechanism which offered promise in relaxing prisoners
to be interrogated."
When the OSS was disbanded after the war, Captain White continued
to administer behavior modifying drugs. In 1947, the CIA replaced
the OSS. White's service record indicates that he worked with
the OSS, and by 1954 he was a high ranking Federal Narcotics Bureau
officer who had been loaned to the CIA on a part-time basis.
White rented an apartment in Greenwich Village equipped with one-way
mirrors, surveillance gadgets and disguised himself as a seaman.
White drugged his acquaintances with LSD and brought them back
to his apartment. In 1955, the operation shifted to San Francisco.
In San Francisco, "safe houses" were established under
the code name Operation Midnight Climax. Midnight Climax hired
prostitute addicts who lured men from bars back to the safehouses
after their drinks had been spiked with LSD. White filmed the
events in the safehouses. The purpose of these "national
security brothels" was to enable the CIA to experiment with
the act of lovemaking for extracting information from men.
The safehouse experiments continued until 1963 until CIA Inspector
General John Earman criticized Richard Helms, the director of
the CIA and father of the M.K.-Ultra project. Earman charged the
new director John McCone had not been fully briefed on the M.K.-Ultra
Project when he took office and that "the concepts involved
in manipulating human behavior are found by many people within
and outside the Agency to be distasteful and unethical."
He stated that "the rights and interest of U.S. citizens
are placed in jeopardy". The Inspector General stated that
LSD had been tested on individuals at all social levels, high
and low, native American and foreign."
Earman's criticisms were rebuffed by Helms, who warned, "Positive
operation capacity to use drugs is diminishing owing to a lack
of realistic testing. Tests were necessary to keep up with the
Soviets." But in 1964, Helms had testified before the Warren
Commission investigating the assassination of President John Kennedy,
that "Soviet research has consistently lagged five years
behind Western research".
Upon leaving government service in 1966, Captain White wrote a
startling letter to his superior. In the letter to Dr. Gottlieb,
Captain White reminisced about his work in the safehouses with
LSD. His comments were frightening. "I was a very minor missionary,
actually a heretic, but I toiled wholeheartedly in the vineyards
because it was fun, fun, fun," White wrote. "Where else
could a red-blooded American boy lie, kill, cheat, steal, rape
and pillage with the sanction and blessing of the all-highest?"
Crime and other public sources.)
Though the CIA continued to maintain drug experiments in the streets
of America after the program was officially canceled, the United
States reaped tremendous value from it. With George Hunter White's
connection to underworld figure Little Augie, connections were
made with Mafia king-pin Lucky Luciano, who was in Dannemore Prison.
Luciano wanted freedom, the Mafia wanted drugs, and the United
States wanted Sicily. The date was 1943. Augie was the go-between
between Luciano and the United States War Department.
Luciano was transferred to a less harsh prison and began to be
visited by representatives of the Office of Naval Intelligence
and from underworld figures, such as Meyer Lansky. A strange alliance
was formed between the U.S. Intelligence agencies and the Mafia,
who controlled the West Side docks in New York. Luciano regained
active leadership in organized crime in America.
The U. S. Intelligence community utilized Luciano's underworld
connections in Italy. In July of 1943, Allied forces launched
their invasion of Sicily, the beginning push into occupied Europe.
General George Patton's Seventh Army advanced through hundreds
of miles of territory that was fraught with difficulty, booby
trapped roads, snipers, confusing mountain topography, all within
close range of 60,000 hostile Italian troops. All this was accomplished
in four days, a military "miracle" even for Patton.
Senate Estes Kefauver's Senate Sub committee on Organized Crime
asked, in 1951, how all this was possible. The answer was that
the Mafia had helped to protect roads from Italian snipers, served
as guides through treacherous mountain terrain, and provided needed
intelligence to Patton's army. The part of Sicily which Patton's
forces traversed had at one time been completely controlled by
the Sicilian Mafia, until Benito Mussolini smashed it through
the use of police repression.
Just prior to the invasion, it was hardly even able to continue
shaking down farmers and shepherds for protection money. But the
invasion changed all this, and the Mafia went on to play a very
prominent and well-documented role in the American military occupation
of Italy.
The expedience of war opened the doors to American drug traffic
and Mafia domination. This was the beginning of the Mafia-U.S.
Intelligence alliance, an alliance that lasts to this day and
helped to support the covert operations of the CIA, such as the
Iran-Contra operations.
In these covert operations, the CIA would obtain drugs from South
America and Southeast Asia, sell them to the Mafia and use the
money for the covert purchase of military equipment. These operations
accelerated when Congress cut off military funding for the Contras.
One of the Allies' top occupation priorities was to liberate as
many of their own soldiers from garrison duties so that they could
participate in the military offensive. In order to accomplish
this, Don Calogero's Mafia were pressed into service, and in July
of 1943, the Civil Affairs Control Office of the U.S. Army appointed
him mayor of Villalba and other Mafia officials as mayors of other
towns in Sicily.
As the northern Italian offensive continued, Allied intelligence
became very concerned over the extent to which the Italian Communists'
resistance to Mussolini had driven Italian politics to the left.
Community Party membership had doubled between 1943 and 1944,
huge leftist strikes had shut down factories and the Italian underground
fighting Mussolini had risen to almost 150,000 men. By mid-1944,
the situation came to a head and the U.S. Army terminated arms
drops to the Italian Resistance, and started appointing Mafia
officials to occupation administration posts. Mafia groups broke
up leftists rallies and reactivated black market operations throughout
southern Italy.
Lucky Luciano was released from prison in 1946 and deported to
Italy, where he rebuilt the heroin trade. The court's decision
to release him was made possible by the testimony of intelligence
agents at his hearing, and a letter written by a naval officer
reciting what Luciano had done for the Navy. Luciano was supposed
to have served from 30 to 50 years in prison. Over 100 Mafia members
were similarly deported within a couple of years.
Luciano set up a syndicate which transported morphine base from
the Middle East to Europe, refined it into heroin, and then shipped
it into the United States via Cuba. During the 1950's, Marseilles,
in Southern France, became a major city for the heroin labs and
the Corsican syndicate began to actively cooperate with the Mafia
in the heroin trade. Those became popularly known as the French
Connection.
In 1948, Captain White visited Luciano and his narcotics associate
Nick Gentile in Europe. Gentile was a former American gangster
who had worked for the Allied Military Government in Sicily. By
this time, the CIA was already subsidizing Corsican and Italian
gangsters to oust Communist unions from the Port of Marseilles.
American strategic planners saw Italy and southern France as extremely
important for their Naval bases as a counterbalance to the growing
naval forces of the Soviet Union. CIO/AFL organizer Irving Brown
testified that by the time the CIA subsidies were terminated in
1953, U.S. support was no longer needed because the profits from
the heroin traffic was sufficient to sustain operations.
When Luciano was originally jailed, the U.S. felt it had eliminated
the world's most effective underworld leader and the activities
of the Mafia were seriously damaged. Mussolini had been waging
a war since 1924 to rid the world of the Sicilian Mafia. Thousands
of Mafia members were convicted of crimes and forced to leave
the cities and hide out in the mountains.
Mussolini's reign of terror had virtually eradicated the international
drug syndicates. Combined with the shipping surveillance during
the war years, heroin trafficking had become almost nil. Drug
use in the United States, before Luciano's release from prison,
was on the verge of being entirely wiped out.
The U.S. government has conducted three types of mind-control
experiments: Real life experiences, such as those used on Little
Augie and the LSD experiments in the safehouses of San Francisco
and Greenwich Village; experiments on prisoners, such as in the
California Medical Facility at Vacaville; experiments conducted
in both mental hospitals and the Veterans Administration hospitals.
Such experimentation requires money, and the United States government
has funneled funds for drug experiments through different agencies,
both overtly and covertly.
One of the funding agencies to contribute to the experimentation
is the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA), a unit
of the U.S. Justice Department and one of President Richard Nixon's
favorite pet agencies. The Nixon Administration was, at one time,
putting together a program for detaining youngsters who showed
a tendency toward violence in "concentration" camps.
According to the Washington Post, the plan was authored
by Dr. Arnold Hutschnecker. Health, Education and Welfare Secretary
Robert Finch was told by John Erlichman, Chief of Staff for the
Nixon White House, to implement the program. He proposed the screening
of children of six years of age for tendencies toward criminality.
Those who failed these tests were to be destined to be sent to
the camps. The program was never implemented.
LEAA came into existence in 1968 with a huge budget to assist
various U.S. law enforcement agencies. Its effectiveness, however,
was not considered too great. After spending $6 billion, the F.B.I.
reports general crime rose 31 percent and violent crime rose 50
percent. But little accountability was required of LEAA on how
it spent its funds.
LEAA's role in the behavior modification research began at a meeting
held in 1970 in Colorado Springs. Attending that meeting were
Richard Nixon, Attorney General John Mitchell, John Erlichman,
H.R. Haldemann and other White House staffers. They met with Dr.
Bertram Brown, director fo the National Institute of Mental Health,
and forged a close collaboration between LEAA and the Institute.
LEAA was a product of the Justice Department and the Institute
was a product of HEW.
LEAA funded 350 projects involving medical procedures, behavior
modification and drugs for delinquency control. Money from the
Criminal Justice System was being used to fund mental health projects
and vice versa. Eventually, the leadership responsibility and
control of the Institute began to deteriorate and their scientists
began to answer to LEAA alone.
on Constitutional Rights)
The National Institute of Mental Health went on to become one
of the greatest supporters of behavior modification research.
Throughout the 1960's, court calenders became blighted with lawsuits
on the part of "human guinea pigs" who had been experimented
upon in prisons and mental institutions. It was these lawsuits
which triggered the Senate Subcommittee on Constitutional Rights
investigation, headed by Senator Sam Erwin. The subcommittee's
harrowing report was virtually ignored by the news media.
Testimony)
Thirteen behavior modification programs were conducted by the
Department of Defense. The Department of Labor had also conducted
several experiments, as well as the National Science Foundation.
The Veterans' Administration was also deeply involved in behavior
modification and mind control. Each of these agencies, including
LEAA, and the Institute, were named in secret CIA documents as
those who provided research cover for the MK-ULTRA program.
Eventually, LEAA was using much of its budget to fund experiments,
including aversive techniques and psychosurgery, which involved,
in some cases, irreversible brain surgery on normal brain tissue
for the purpose of changing or controlling behavior and/or emotions.
Senator Erwin questioned the head of LEAA concerning ethical standards
of the behavior modification projects which LEAA had been funding.
Erwin was extremely dubious about the idea of the government spending
money on this kind of project without strict guidelines and reasonable
research supervision in order to protect the human subjects. After
Senator Erwin's denunciation of the funding polices, LEAA announced
that it would no longer fund medical research into behavior modification
and psychosurgery.
Despite the pledge by LEAA's director, Donald E. Santarelli, LEAA
ended up funding 537 research projects dealing with behavior modification.
There is strong evidence to indicate psychosurgery was still being
used in prisons in the 1980's. Immediately after the funding announcement
by LEAA, there were 50 psychosurgical operations at Atmore State
Prison in Alabama. The inmates became virtual zombies. The operations,
according to Dr. Swan of Fisk University, were done on black prisoners
who were considered politically active.
The Veterans' Administration openly admitted that psychosurgery
was a standard procedure for treatment and not used just in experiments.
The VA Hospitals in Durham, Long Beach, New York, Syracuse and
Minneapolis were known to employ these products on a regular basis.
VA clients could typically be subject to these behavior alteration
procedures against their will. The Erwin subcommittee concluded
that the rights of VA clients had been violated.
LEAA also subsidized the research and development of gadgets and
techniques useful to behavior modification. Much of the technology,
whose perfection LEAA funded, had originally been developed and
made operational for use in the Vietnam War.
Companies like Bangor Punta Corporation and Walter Kidde and Co.,
through its subsidiary Globe Security System, adapted these devices
to domestic use in the U.S. ITT was another company that domesticated
the warfare technology for potential use on U.S. citizens. Rand
Corporation executive Paul Baran warned that the influx back to
the United State of the Vietnam War surveillance gadgets alone,
not to mention the behavior modification hardware, could bring
about "the most effective, oppressive police state ever created".
One of the fascinating aspects of the scandals that plague the
U.S. Government is the fact that so often the same names appear
from scandal to scandal. From the origins of Ronald Reagan's political
career, as Governor of California, Dr. Earl Brian and Edward Meese
played key advisory roles. Dr. Brian's name has been linked to
the October Surprise and is a central figure in the government's
theft of PROMIS soft ware from INSLAW. Brian's role touches from
the Cabazon Indian scandals to United Press International. He
is one of those low-profile key figures.
And, alas, his name appears again in the nation's behavior modification
and mind control experiments. Dr. Brian was Reagan's Secretary
of Health when Reagan was Governor. Dr. Brian was an advocate
of state subsidies for a research center for the study of violent
behavior. The center was to begin operations by mid-1975, and
its research was intended to shed light on why people murder or
rape, or hijack aircraft. The center was to be operated by the
University of California at Los Angeles, and its primary purpose,
ac cording to Dr. Brian, was to unify scattered studies on anti-social
violence and possibly even touch on socially tolerated violence,
such as football or war. Dr. Brian sought $1.3 million for the
center.
It certainly was possible that prison inmates might be used as
volunteer subjects at the center to discover the unknowns which
triggered their violent behavior. Dr. Brian's quest for the center
came at the same time Governor Reagan concluded his plans to phase
the state of California out of the mental hospital business by
1982. Reagan's plan is echoed by Governor Pete Wilson today, to
place the responsibility of rehabilitating young offenders squarely
on the shoulders of local communities. But as the proposal became
known more publicly, a swell of controversy surrounded it. It
ended in a fiasco. The inspiration for the violence center came
from three doctors in 1967, five years before Dr. Brian and Governor
Reagan unveiled their plans.
Amidst urban rioting and civil protest, Doctors Sweet, Mark and
Ervin of Harvard put forward the thesis that individuals who engage
in civil disobedience possess defective or damaged brain cells.
If this conclusion were applied to the American Revolution or
the Women's Rights Movement, a good portion of American society
would be labeled as having brain damage.
In a letter to the Journal of the American Medical Association,
they stated: "That poverty, unemployment, slum housing, and
inadequate education underlie the nation's urban riots is well
known, but the obviousness of these causes may have blinded us
to the more subtle role of other possible factors, including brain
dysfunction in the rioters who engaged in arson, sniping and physical
assault.
"There is evidence from several sources that brain dysfunction
related to a focal lesion plays a significant role in the violent
and assaultive behavior of thoroughly studied patients. Individuals
with electroencephalographic abnormalities in the temporal region
have been found to have a much greater frequency of behavioral
abnormalities (such as poor impulse control, assaultiveness, and
psychosis) than is present in people with a normal brain wave
pattern."
Soon after the publication in the Journal, Dr. Ervin and Dr. Mark
published their book Violence and the Brain, which included the
claim that there were as many as 10 million individuals in the
United States "who suffer from obvious brain disease".
They argued that the data of their book provided a strong reason
for starting a program of mass screening of Americans.
"Our greatest danger no longer comes from famine or communicable
disease. Our greatest danger lies in ourselves and in our fellow
humans...we need to develop an 'early warning test' of limbic
brain function to detect those humans who have a low threshold
for impulsive violence...Violence is a public health problem,
and the major thrust of any program dealing with violence must
be toward its prevention," they wrote.
The Law Enforcement Assistance Administration funded the doctors
$108,000 and the National Institute of Mental Health kicked in
another $500, 000, under pressure from Congress. They believed
that psychosurgery would inevitably be performed in connection
with the program, and that, since it irreversibly impaired people's
emotional and intellectual capacities, it could be used as an
instrument of repression and social control.
The doctors wanted screening centers established throughout the
nation. In California, the publicity associated with the doctors'
report, aided in the development of The Center for the study and
Reduction of Violence. Both the state and LEAA provided the funding.
The center was to serve as a model for future facilities to be
set up throughout the United States.
The Director of the Neurophyschiatric Institute and chairman of
the Department of Psychiatry at UCLA, Dr. Louis Jolyon West was
selected to run the center. Dr. West is alleged to have been a
contract agent for the CIA, who, as part of a network of doctors
and scientists, gathered intelligence on hallucinogenic drugs,
including LSD, for the super-secret MK-ULTRA program. Like Captain
White, West conducted LSD experiments for the CIA on unwitting
citizens in the safehouses of San Francisco. He achieved notoriety
for his injection of a massive dose of LSD into an elephant at
the Oklahoma Zoo, the elephant died when West tried to revive
it by administering a combination of drugs.
Dr. West was further known as the psychiatrist who was called
upon to examine Jack Ruby, Lee Harvey Oswald's assassin. It was
on the basis of West's diagnosis that Ruby was compelled to be
treated for mental disorders and put on happy pills. The West
examination was ordered after Ruby began to say that he was part
of a right-wing conspiracy to kill President John Kennedy. Two
years after the commencement of treatment for mental disorder,
Ruby died of cancer in prison.
(Note: Dr West is now a member of the Board of Directors of the
False Memory Syndrome Foundation.)
Francisco Bay Guardian)
After January 11, 1973, when Governor Reagan announced plans for
the Violence Center, West wrote a letter to the then Director
of Health for California, J. M. Stubblebine:
"Dear Stub:
"I am in possession of confidential in formation that the
Army is prepared to turn over Nike missile bases to state and
local agencies for non-military purposes. They may look with special
favor on health-related applications.
"Such a Nike missile base is located in the Santa Monica
Mountains, within a half-hour's drive of the Neuropsychiatric
Institute. It is accessible, but relatively remote. The site is
securely fenced, and includes various buildings and improvements,
making it suitable for prompt occupancy.
"If this site were made available to the Neurophyschiatric
Institute as a research facility, perhaps initially as an adjunct
to the new Center for the Prevention of Violence, we could put
it to very good use. Comparative studies could be carried out
there, in an isolated but convenient location, of experimental
or model programs for the alteration of undesirable behavior.
"Such programs might include control of drug or alcohol abuse,
modification of chronic anti-social or impulsive aggressiveness,
etc. The site could also accommodate conferences or retreats for
instruction of selected groups of mental-health related professionals
and of others (e.g., law enforcement personnel, parole officers,
special educators) for whom both demonstration and participation
would be effective modes of instruction.
"My understanding is that a direct request by the Governor,
or other appropriate officers of the State, to the Secretary of
Defense (or, of course, the President), could be most likely to
produce prompt results."
Some of the planned areas of study for the Center included:
Studies of violent individuals.
Experiments on prisoners from Vacaville and Atascadero, and hyperkinetic
children.
Experiments with violence-producing and violent inhibiting drugs.
Hormonal aspects of passivity and aggressiveness in boys.
Studies to discover and compare norms of violence among various
ethnic groups.
Studies of pre-delinquent children.
It would also encourage law enforcement to keep computer files
on pre-delinquent children, which would make possible the treatment
of children before they became delinquents.
The purpose of the Violence Center was not just research. The
staff was to include sociologists, lawyers, police officers, clergymen
and probation officers. With the backing of Governor Reagan and
Dr. Brian, West had secured guarantees of prisoner volunteers
from several California correctional institutions, including Vacaville.
Vacaville and Atascadero were chosen as the primary sources for
the human guinea pigs. These institutions had established a reputation,
by that time, of committing some of the worst atrocities in West
Coast history. Some of the experimentations differed little from
what the Nazis did in the death camps.
Dr. Earl Brian, Governor Ronald Reagan's Secretary of Health,
was adamant about his support for mind control centers in California.
He felt the behavior modification plan of the Violence Control
Centers was important in the prevention of crime.
The Violence Control Center was actually the brain child of William
Herrmann as part of a pacification plan for California. A counter
insurgency expert for Systems Development Corporation and an advisor
to Governor Reagan, Herrmann worked with the Stand Research Institute,
the RAND Corporation, and the Hoover Center on Violence. Herrman
was also a CIA agent who is now serving an eight year prison sentence
for his role in a CIA counterfeiting operation. He was also directly
linked with the Iran-Contra affair according to government records
and Herrmann's own testimony.
In 1970, Herrmann worked with Colston Westbrook as his CIA control
officer when Westbrook formed and implemented the Black Cultural
Association at the Vacaville Medical Facility, a facility which
in July experienced the death of three inmates who were forcibly
subjected to behavior modification drugs. The Black Cultural Association
was ostensibly an education program designed to instill black
pride identity in prisons, the Association was really a cover
for an experimental behavior modification pilot project designed
to test the feasibility of programming unstable prisoners to become
more manageable.
Westbrook worked for the CIA in Vietnam as a psychological warfare
expert, and as an advisor to the Korean equivalent of the CIA
and for the Lon Nol regime in Cambodia. Between 1966 and 1969,
he was an advisor to the Vietnamese Police Special Branch under
the cover of working as an employee of Pacific Architects and
Engineers.
His "firm" contracted the building of the interrogation/torture
centers in every province of South Vietnam as part of the CIA's
Phoenix Program. The program was centered around behavior modification
experiments to learn how to extract information from prisoners
of war, a direct violation of the Geneva Accords.
Westbrook's most prominent client at Vacaville was Donald DeFreeze,
who be tween 1967 and 1969, had worked for the Los Angeles Police
Department's Public Disorder Intelligence unit and later became
the leader of the Symbionese Liberation Army. Many authorities
now believe that the Black Cultural Association at Vacaville was
the seedling of the SLA. Westbrook even designed the SLA logo,
the cobra with seven heads, and gave De Freeze his African name
of Cinque. The SLA was responsible for the assassination of Marcus
Foster, superintendent of School in Oakland and the kidnapping
of Patty Hearst.
As a counterinsurgency consultant for Systems Development Corporation,
a security firm, Herrmann told the Los Angeles Times that a good
computer intelligence system "would separate out the activist
bent on destroying the system" and then develop a master
plan "to win the hearts and minds of the people". The
San Francisco-based Bay Guardian, recently identified Herrmann
as an international arms dealer working with Iran in 1980, and
possibly involved in the October Surprise. Herrmann is in an English
prison for counterfeiting. He allegedly met with Iranian officials
to ascertain whether the Iranians would trade arms for hostages
held in Lebanon.
The London Sunday Telegraph confirmed Herrmann's CIA connections,
tracing them from 1976 to 1986. He also worked for the FBI. This
information was revealed in his London trial.
In the 1970's, Dr. Brian and Herrmann worked together under Governor
Reagan on the Center for the Study and Reduction of Violence,
and then, a decade later, again worked under Reagan. Both men
have been identified as working for Reagan with the Iranians.
The Violence Center, however, died an agonizing death. Despite
the Ervin Senate Committee investigation and condemnation of mind
control, the experiments continued. But when the Watergate scandal
broke in the early 1970's, Washington felt it was too politically
risky to continue to push for mind control centers.
Top doctors began to withdraw from the proposal because they felt
that there were not enough safeguards. Even the Law Enforcement
Assistance Agency, which funded the program, backed out, stating,
the proposal showed "little evidence of established research
ability of the kind of level necessary for a study of this cope".
Eventually it became known that control of the Violence Center
was not going to rest with the University of California, but instead
with the Department of Corrections and other law enforcement officials.
This information was released publicly by the Committee Opposed
to Psychiatric Abuse of Prisoners. The disclosure of the letter
resulted in the main backers of the program bowing out and the
eventual demise of the center.
Dr. Brian's final public statement on the matter was that the
decision to cut off funding represented "a callous disregard
for public safety". Though the Center was not built, the
mind control experiments continue to this day.
The Central Intelligence Agency held two major interests in use
of LSD. to alter normal behavior patterns. The first interest
centered around obtaining information from prisoners of war and
enemy agents, in contravention of the Geneva Accords. The second
was to deter the effectiveness of drugs used against the enemy
on the battlefield.
The MK-ULTRA program was originally run by a small number of people
within the CIA known as the Technical Services Staff (TSS). Another
CIA department, the Office of Security, also began its own testing
program. Friction arose and then infighting broke out when the
Office of Security commenced to spy on TSS people after it was
learned that LSD was being tested on unwitting Americans.
Not only did the two branches disagree over the issue of testing
the drug on the unwitting, they also disagreed over the issue
of how the drug was actually to be used by the CIA. The office
of Security envisioned the drug as an interrogation weapon. But
the TSS group thought the drug could be used to help destabilize
another country, it could be slipped into the food or beverage
of a public official in order to make him behave foolishly or
oddly in public. One CIA document reveals that L.S.D. could be
administered right before an official was to make a public speech.
Realizing that gaining information about the drug in real life
situations was crucial to exploiting the drug to its fullest,
TSS started conducting experiments on its own people. There was
an extensive amount of self-experimentation. The Office of Security
felt the TSS group was playing with fire, especially when it was
learned that TSS was prepared to spike an annual office Christmas
party punch with LSD, the Christmas party of the CIA. L.S.D. could
produce serious insanity for periods of eight to 18 hours and
possibly longer.
One of the "victims" of the punch was agent Frank Olson.
Having never had drugs before, L.S.D. took its toll on Olson.
He reported that, every automobile that came by was a terrible
monster with fantastic eyes, out to get him personally. Each time
a car passed he would huddle down against a parapet, terribly
frightened. Olson began to behave erratically. The CIA made preparation
to treat Olson at Chestnut Lodge, but before they could, Olson
checked into a New York hotel and threw himself out from his tenth
story room. The CIA was ordered to cease all drug testing.
Mind control drugs and experiments were torturous to the victims.
One of three inmates who died in Vacaville Prison in July of 1991
was scheduled to appear in court in an attempt to stop forced
administration of a drug, the very drug that may have played a
role in his death.
Joseph Cannata believed he was making progress and did not need
forced dosages of the drug Haldol. The Solano County Coroner's
Office said that Cannata and two other inmates died of hyperthermia,
extremely elevated body temperature. Their bodies all had at least
108 degrees temperature when they died. The psychotropic drugs
they were being forced to take will elevate body temperature.
Dr. Ewen Cameron, working at McGill University in Montreal, used
a variety of experimental techniques, including keeping subjects
unconscious for months at a time, administering huge electroshocks
and continual doses of L.S.D.
Massive lawsuits developed as a result of this testing, and many
of the subjects who suffered trauma had never agreed to participate
in the experiments. Such CIA experiments infringed upon the much-honored
Nuremberg Code concerning medical ethics. Dr. Camron was one of
the members of the Nuremberg Tribunal.
L.S.D. research was also conducted at the Addiction Research Center
of the U.S. Public Health Service in Lexington, Kentucky. This
institution was one of several used by the CIA. The National Institute
of Mental Health and the U.S. Navy funded this operation. Vast
supplies of L.S.D. and other hallucinogenic drugs were required
to keep the experiments going.
Dr. Harris Isbell ran the program. He was a member of the Food
and Drug Administration's Advisory Committee on the Abuse of Depressant
and Stimulants Drugs. Almost all of the inmates were black. In
many cases, L.S.D. dosage was increased daily for 75 days.
Some 1500 U.S. soldiers were also victims of drug experimentation.
Some claimed they had agreed to become guinea pigs only through
pressure from their superior officers. Many claimed they suffered
from severe depression and other psychological stress.
One such soldier was Master Sergeant Jim Stanley. L.S.D. was put
in Stanley's drinking water and he freaked out. Stanley's hallucinations
continued even after he returned to his regular duties. His service
record suffered, his marriage went on the rocks and he ended up
beating his wife and children. It wasn't until 17 years later
that Stanley was informed by the military that he had been an
L.S.D. experiment. He sued the government, but the Supreme Court
ruled no soldier could sue the Army for the LSD. experiments.
Justice William Brennen disagreed with the Court decision. He
wrote, "Experimentation with unknowing human subjects is
morally and legally unacceptable."
Private James Thornwell was given L.S.D. in a military test in
1961. For the next 23 years he lived in a mental fog, eventually
drowning in a Vallejo swimming pool in 1984. Congress had set
up a $625,000 trust fund for him. Large scale L.S.D. tests on
American soldiers were conducted at Aberdeen Proving Ground in
Maryland, Fort Benning, Georgia, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, Dugway
Proving Ground, Utah, and in Europe and the Pacific. The Army
conducted a series of L.S.D. tests at Fort Bragg in North Carolina.
The purpose of the tests were to ascertain how well soldiers could
perform their tasks on the battlefield while under the influence
of L.S.D.
At Fort McClellan, Alabama, 200 officers in the Chemical Corps
were given L.S.D. in order to familiarize them with the drug's
effects. At Edgewood Arsenal, soldiers were given L.S.D. and then
confined to sensory deprivation chambers and later exposed to
a harsh interrogation sessions by intelligence people. In these
sessions, it was discovered that soldiers would cooperate if promised
they would be allowed to get off the L.S.D.
In Operation Derby Hat, foreign nationals accused of drug trafficking
were given L.S.D. by the Special Purpose Team, with one subject
begging to be killed in order to end his ordeal. Such experiments
were also conducted in Saigon on Viet Cong POWs.
One of the most potent drugs in the U.S. arsenal is called BZ
or quinuclidinyl benzilate. It is a long-lasting drug and brings
on a litany of psychotic experiences and almost completely isolates
any person from his environment. The main effects of BZ last up
to 80 hours compared to eight hours for L.S.D. Negative after-effects
may persist for up to six weeks.
Office investigations)
The BZ experiments were conducted on soldiers at Edgewood Arsenal
for 16 years. Many of the "victims" claim that the drug
permanently affected their lives in a negative way. It so disorientated
one paratrooper that he was found taking a shower in his uniform
and smoking a cigar. BZ was eventually put in hand grenades and
a 750 pound cluster bomb. Other configurations were made for mortars,
artillery and missiles. The bomb was tested in Vietnam and CIA
documents indicate it was prepared for use by the U.S. in the
event of large-scale civilian uprisings.
In Vacaville, psychosurgery has long been a policy. In one set
of cases, experimental psychosurgery was conducted on three inmates,
a black, a Chicano and a white person. This involved the procedure
of pushing electrodes deep into the brain in order to determine
the position of defective brain cells, and then shooting enough
voltage into the suspected area to kill the defective cells. One
prisoner, who appeared to be improving after surgery, was released
on parole, but ended up back in prison. The second inmate became
violent and there is no information on the third inmate.
Vacaville also administered a "terror drug", Anectine,
as a way of "suppressing hazardous behavior". In small
doses, Anectine serves as a muscle relaxant; in huge does, it
produces prolonged seizure of the respiratory system and a sensation
"worse than dying". The drug goes to work within 30
to 40 seconds by paralyzing the small muscles of the fingers,
toes, and eyes, and then moves into the the intercostal muscles
and the diaphragm. The heart rate subsides to 60 beats per minute,
respiratory arrest sets in and the patient remains completely
conscious throughout the ordeal, which lasts two to five minutes.
The experiments were also used at Atascadero.
Several mind altering drugs were originally developed for non-psychoactive
purposes. Some of these drugs are Phenothiazine and Thorzine.
The side effects of these drugs can be a living hell. The impact
includes the feeling of drowsiness, disorientation, shakiness,
dry mouth, blurred vision and an inability to concentrate. Drugs
like Prolixin are described by users as "sheer torture"
and "becoming a zombie".
The Veterans Administration Hospital has been shown by the General
Accounting Office to apply heavy dosages of psychotherapeutic
drugs. One patient was taking eight different drugs, three antipsychotic,
two antianxiety, one antidepressant, one sedative and one anti-Parkinson.
Three of these drugs were being given in dosages equal to the
maximum recommended.
Another patient was taking seven different drugs. One report tells
of a patient who refused to take the drug. "I told them I
don't want the drug to start with, they grabbed me and strapped
me down and gave me a forced intramuscular shot of Prolixin. They
gave me Artane to counteract the Prolixin and they gave me Sinequan,
which is a kind of tranquilizer to make me calm down, which over
calmed me, so rather than letting up on the medication, they then
gave me Ritalin to pep me up."
Prolixin lasts for two weeks. One patient describes how the drug
does not calm or sedate nerves, but instead attacks from so deep
inside you, you cannot locate the source of the pain. "The
drugs turn your nerves in upon yourself. Against your will, your
resistance, your resolve, are directed at your own tissues, your
own muscles, reflexes, etc.." The patient continues, "The
pain grinds into your fiber, your vision is so blurred you cannot
read. You ache with restlessness, so that you feel you have to
walk, to pace. And then as soon as you start pacing, the opposite
occurs to you, you must sit and rest. Back and forth, up and down,
you go in pain you cannot locate. In such wretched anxiety you
are overwhelmed because you cannot get relief even in breathing."
right to develop his own mind."
"We need a program of psychosurgery for political control
of our society. The purpose is physical control of the mind. Everyone
who deviates from the given norm can be surgically mutilated.
"The individual may think that the most important reality
is his own existence, but this is only his personal point of view.
This lacks historical perspective.
"Man does not have the right to develop his own mind. This
kind of liberal orientation has great appeal. We must electrically
control the brain. Some day armies and generals will be controlled
by electric stimulation of the brain."
These were the remarks of Dr. Jose Delgado as they appeared in
the February 24, 1974 edition of the Congressional Record, No.
262E, Vol. 118.
Despite Dr. Delgado's outlandish statements before Congress, his
work was financed by grants from the Office of Naval Research,
the Air Force Aero-Medical Research Laboratory, and the Public
Health Foundation of Boston.
Dr. Delgado was a pioneer of the technology of Electrical Stimulation
of the Brain (ESB). The New York Times ran an article on May 17,
1965 entitled Matador With a Radio Stops Wild Bull. The story
details Dr. Delgado's experiments at Yale University School of
Medicine and work in the field at Cordova, Spain. The New York
Times stated:
"Afternoon sunlight poured over the high wooden barriers
into the ring, as the brave bull bore down on the unarmed matador,
a scientist who had never faced fighting bull. But the charging
animal's horn never reached the man behind the heavy red cape.
Moments before that could happen, Dr. Delgado pressed a button
on a small radio transmitter in his hand and the bull braked to
a halt. Then he pressed another button on the transmitter, and
the bull obediently turned to the right and trotted away. The
bull was obeying commands in his brain that were being called
forth by electrical stimulation by the radio signals to certain
regions in which fine wires had been painlessly planted the day
before."
According to Dr. Delgado, experiments of this type have also been
performed on humans. While giving a lecture on the Brain in 1965,
Dr. Delgado said, "Science has developed a new methodology
for the study and control of cerebral function in animals and
humans."
of the Mind
The late L.L. Vasiliev, professor of physiology at the University
of
Leningrad wrote in a paper about hypnotism: "As a control
of the subject's condition, when she was outside the laboratory
in another set of experiments, a radio set was used. The results
obtained indicate that the method of using radio signals substantially
enhances the experimental possibilities." The professor continued
to write, "I.F. Tomaschevsky (a Russian physiologist) carried
out the first experiments with this subject at a distance of one
or two rooms, and under conditions that the participant would
not know or suspect that she would be experimented with. In other
cases, the sender was not in the same house, and someone else
observed the subject's behavior. Subsequent experiments at considerable
distances were successful. One such experiment was carried out
in a park at a distance. Mental suggestions to go to sleep were
complied with within a minute."
The Russian experiments in the control of a person's mind through
hypnosis and radio waves were conducted in the 1930s, some 30
years before Dr. Delgado's bull experiment. Dr. Vasiliev definitely
demonstrated that radio transmission can produce stimulation of
the brain. It is not a complex process. In fact, it need not be
implanted within the skull or be productive of stimulation of
the brain, itself. All that is needed to accomplish the radio
control of the brain is a twitching muscle. The subject becomes
hypnotized and a muscle stimulant is implanted. The subject, while
still under hypnosis, is commanded to respond when the muscle
stimulant is activated, in this case by radio transmission.
Lincoln Lawrence wrote a book entitled Were We Controlled? Lawrance
wrote, "If the subject is placed under hypnosis and mentally
programmed to maintain a determination eventually to perform one
specific act, perhaps to shoot someone, it is suggested thereafter,
each time a particular muscle twitches in a certain manner, which
is then demonstrated by using the transmitter, he will increase
this determination even more strongly. As the hypnotic spell is
renewed again and again, he makes it his life's purpose to carry
out this act until it is finally achieved. Thus are the two complementary
aspects of Radio-Hypnotic Intracerebral Control (RHIC) joined
to reinforce each other, and perpetuate the control, until such
time as the controlled behavior is called for. This is done by
a second session with the hypnotist giving final instructions.
These might be reinforced with radio stimulation in more frequent
cycles. They could even carry over the moments after the act to
reassure calm behavior during the escape period, or to assure
that one conspirator would not indicate that he was aware of the
co-conspirator's role, or that he was even acquainted with him."
RHIC constitutes the joining of two well known tools, the radio
part and the hypnotism part. People have found it difficult to
accept that an individual can be hypnotized to perform an act
which is against his moral principles. Some experiments have been
conducted by the U.S. Army which show that this popular perception
is untrue.
The chairman of the Department of Psychology at Colgate University,
Dr. Estabrooks, has stated, "I can hypnotize a man without
his knowledge or consent into committing treason against the United
States." Estabrooks was one of the nation's most authoritative
sources in the hypnotic field.
The psychologist told officials in Washington that a mere 200
well trained hypnotists could develop an army of mind-controlled
sixth columnists in wartime United States. He laid out a scenario
of an enemy doctor placing thousands of patients under hypnotic
mind control, and eventually programming key military officers
to follow his assignment. Through such maneuvers, he said, the
entire U.S. Army could be taken over. Large numbers of saboteurs
could also be created using hypnotism through the work of a doctor
practicing in a neighborhood or foreign born nationals with close
cultural ties with an enemy power.
Dr. Estabrooks actually conducted experiments on U.S. soldiers
to prove his point. Soldiers of low rank and little formal education
were placed under hypnotism and their memories tested. Surprisingly,
hypnotists were able to control the subjects' ability to retain
complicated verbal information. J. G. Watkins followed in Estabrooks
steps and induced soldiers of lower rank to commit acts which
conflicted not only with their moral code, but also the military
code which they had come to accept through their basic training.
One of the experiments involved placing a normal, stable army
private in a deep trance. Watkins was trying to see if he could
get the private to attack a superior officer, a cardinal sin in
the military. While the private was in a deep trance, Watkins
told him that the officer sitting across from him was an enemy
soldier who was going to attempt to kill him. In the private's
mind, it was a kill or be killed situation. The private immediately
jumped up and grabbed the officer by the throat. The experiment
was repeated several times, and in one case the man who was hypnotized
and the man who was attacked were very close friends. The results
were always the same. In one experiment, the hypnotized subject
pulled out a knife and nearly stabbed another person.
Watkins concluded that people could be induced to commit acts
contrary to their morality if their reality was distorted by the
hypnotism. Similar experiments were conducted by Watkins using
WACs exploring the possibility of making military personnel divulge
military secrets. A related experiment had to be discontinued
because a researcher, who had been one of the subjects, was exposing
numerous top-secret projects to his hypnotist, who did not have
the proper security clearance for such information. The information
was divulged before an audience of 200 military personnel.
In man's quest to control the behavior of humans, there was a
great breakthrough established by Pavlov, who devised a way to
make dogs salivate on cue. He perfected his conditioning response
technique by cutting holes in the cheeks of dogs and measured
the amount they salivated in response to different stimuli. Pavlov
verified that "quality, rate and frequency of the salivation
changed depending upon the quality, rate and frequency of the
stimuli."
Though Pavlov's work falls far short of human mind control, it
did lay the groundwork for future studies in mind and behavior
control of humans. John B. Watson conducted experiments in the
United States on an 11-month-old infant. After allowing the infant
to establish a rapport with a white rat, Watson began to beat
on the floor with an iron bar every time the infant came in contact
with the rat. After a time, the infant made the association between
the appearance of the rat and the frightening sound, and began
to cry every time the rat came into view. Eventually, the infant
developed a fear of any type of small animal. Watson was the founder
of the behaviorist school of psychology.
"Give me the baby, and I'll make it climb and use its hands
in constructing buildings or stone or wood. I'll make it a thief,
a gunman or a dope fiend. The possibilities of shaping in any
direction are almost endless. Even gross differences in anatomical
structure limits are far less than you may think. Make him a deaf
mute, and I will build you a Helen Keller. Men are built, not
born,"
Watson proclaimed. His psychology did not recognize inner feelings
and thoughts as legitimate objects of scientific study, he was
only interested in overt behavior.
Though Watson's work was the beginning of man's attempts to control
human actions, the real work was done by B.F. Skinner, the high
priest of the behaviorists movement. The key to Skinner's work
was the concept of operant conditioning, which relied on the notion
of reinforcement, all behavior which is learned is rooted in either
a positive or negative response to that action. There are two
corollaries of operant conditioning" Aversion therapy and
desensitization.
Aversion therapy uses unpleasant reinforcement to a response which
is undesirable. This can take the form of electric shock, exposing
the subject to fear producing situations, and the infliction of
pain in general. It has been used as a way of "curing"
homosexuality, alcoholism and stuttering. Desensitization involves
forcing the subject to view disturbing images over and over again
until they no longer produce any anxiety, then moving on to more
extreme images, and repeating the process over again until no
anxiety is produced. Eventually, the subject becomes immune to
even the most extreme images. This technique is typically used
to treat people's phobias. Thus, the violence shown on T.V. could
be said to have the unsystematic and unintended effect of desensitization.
Skinnerian behaviorism has been accused of attempting to deprive
man of his free will, his dignity and his autonomy. It is said
to be intolerant of uncertainty in human behavior, and refuses
to recognize the private, the ineffable, and the unpredictable.
It sees the individual merely as a medical, chemical and mechanistic
entity which has no comprehension of its real interests.
Skinner believed that people are going to be manipulated. "I
just want them to be manipulated effectively," he said. He
measured his success by the absence of resistance and counter
control on the part of the person he was manipulating. He thought
that his techniques could be perfected to the point that the subject
would not even suspect that he was being manipulated.
Dr. James V. McConnel, head of the Department of Mental Health
Research at the University of Michigan, said, "The day has
come when we can combine sensory deprivation with the use of drugs,
hypnosis, and the astute manipulation of reward and punishment
to gain almost absolute control over an individual's behavior.
We want to reshape our society drastically."

A U.S. Navy psychologist claims that the Office of Naval Intelligence
had taken convicted murderers from military prisons, used behavior
modification techniques on them, and then relocated them in American
embassies throughout the world. Just prior to that time, the U.S.
Senate Intelligence Committee had censured the CIA for its global
political assassination plots, including plots against Fidel Castro.
The Navy psychologist was Lt. Commander Thomas Narut of the U.S.
Regional Medical Center in Naples, Italy. The information was
divulged at an Oslo NATO conference of 120 psychologists from
the eleven nation alliance.
According to Dr. Narut, the U.S. Navy was an excellent place for
a researcher to find "captive personnel" whom they could
could use as guinea pigs in experiments. The Navy provided all
the funding necessary, according to Narut.
Dr. Narut, in a question and answer session with reporters from
many nations, revealed how the Navy was secretly programming large
numbers of assassins. He said that the men he had worked with
for the Navy were being prepared for commando-type operations,
as well as covert operations in U.S. embassies worldwide. He described
the men who went through his program as "hit men and assassins"
who could kill on command.
Careful screening of the subjects was accomplished by Navy psychologists
through the military records, and those who actually received
assignments where their training could be utilized, were drawn
mainly from submarine crews, the paratroops, and many were convicted
murderers serving military prison sentences. Several men who had
been awarded medals for bravery were drafted into the program.
The assassins were conditioned through "audio-visual desensitization".
The process involved the showing of films of people being injured
or killed in a variety of ways, starting with very mild depictions,
leading up to the more extreme forms of mayhem. Eventually, the
subjects would be able to detach their feelings even when viewing
the most horrible of films. The conditioning was most successful
when applied to "passive-aggressive" types, and most
of these ended up being able to kill without any regrets. The
prime indicator of violent tendencies was the Minnesota Multiphasic
Personality Inventory. Dr. Narut knew of two Navy programming
centers, the neuropsychiatric laboratory in San Diego and the
U.S. Regional Medical Center in Italy, where he worked.
During the audio-visual desensitization programming, restraints
were used to force the subject to view the films. A device was
used on the subjects eyelids to prevent him from blinking. Typically,
the preliminary film was on an African youth being ritualistically
circumcised with a dull knife and without any anesthetic. The
second film showed a sawmill scene in which a man accidentally
cut off his fingers.
In addition to the desensitization films, the potential assassins
underwent programming to create prejudicial attitude in the men,
to think of their future enemies, especially the leaders of these
countries, as sub-human. Films and lectures were presented demeaning
the culture and habits of the people of the countries where it
had been decided they would be sent.
After his NATO lecture, Dr. Narut disappeared. He could not be
located. Within a week of so after the lecture, the Pentagon issued
an emphatic denial that the U.S. Navy had "engaged in psychological
training or other types of training of personnel as assassins."
They disavowed the programming centers in San Diego and Naples
and stated they were unable to locate Narut, but did provide confirmation
that he was a staff member of the U.S. Regional Medical Center
in Naples.
Dr. Alfred Zitani, an American delegate to the Oslo conference,
did verify Narut's remarks and they were published in the Sunday
Times.
Sometime later, Dr. Narut surfaced again in London and recanted
his remarks, stating that he was "talking in theoretical
and not practical terms." Shortly thereafter, the U.S. Naval
headquarters in London issued a statement indicating that Dr.
Narut's remarks at the NATO conference should be discounted because
he had "personal problems". Dr. Narut never made any
further public statements about the program.
During the NATO conference in Oslo, Dr. Narut had remarked that
the reason he was divulging the information was because he believed
that the information was coming out anyway. The doctor was referring
to the disclosure by a Congressional subcommittee which were then
appearing in the press concerning various CIA assassination plots.
However, what Dr. Narut had failed to realize at the time, was
that the Navy's assassination plots were not destined to be revealed
to the public at that time.
There were three scientists who pioneered the work of using an
electromagnetic field to control human behavior. Their work began
25 years ago. These three were Dr. Jose Delgado, psychology professor
at Yale University; Dr. W. Ross Adey, a physiologist at the Brain
Research Institute at UCLA; and Dr. Wilder Penfield, a Canadian.
Dr. Penfield's experiments consisted of the implantation of electrodes
deep into the cortexes of epilepsy patients who were to undergo
surgery; he was able to drastically improve the memories of these
patients through electrical stimulation. Dr. Adey implanted transmitters
in the brains of cats and chimpanzees that could send signals
to a receiver regarding the electrical activity of the brain;
additional radio signals were sent back into the brains of the
animals which modified their behavior at the direction of the
doctor. Dr. Delgado was able to stop and turn a charging bull
through the use of an implanted radio receiver.
Other experiments using platinum, gold and stainless steel electrode
implants enabled researchers to induce total madness in cats,
put monkeys into a stupor, or to set human beings jerking their
arms up and down. Much of Delgado's work was financed by the CIA
through phony funding conduits masking themselves as charitable
organizations.
Following the successes of Delgado's work, the CIA set up their
own research program in the field of electromagnetic behavior
modification under the code name Sleeping Beauty. With the guidance
of Dr. Ivor Browning, a laboratory was set up in New Mexico, specializing
in working with the hypothalamus or "sweet spot" of
the brain. Here it was found that stimulating this area could
produce intense euphoria.
Dr. Browning was able to wire a radio receiver-amplifier into
the "sweet spot" of a donkey which picked up a five-micro-amp
signal, such that he could create intense happiness in the animal.
Using the jolts of happiness as an "electronic carrot",
Browning was able to send the donkey up a 2000 foot New Mexico
mountain and back to its point of origin. When the donkey was
proceeding up the path toward its destination, it was rewarded;
when it deviated, the signal stopped. "You've never seen
a donkey so eager to keep on course in your whole life,"
Dr. Browning exclaimed.
The CIA utilized the electronic carrot technique in getting trained
pigeons to fly miniature microphone-transmitters to the ledge
of a KGB safe house where the devices monitored conversations
for months. There was a move within the CIA to conduct further
experiments on humans, foreigners and prisoners, but officially
the White House vetoed the idea as being unethical.
In May 1989, it was learned by the CIA that the KGB was subjecting
people undergoing interrogation to electromagnetic fields, which
produced a panic reaction, thereby bringing them closer to breaking
down under questioning. The subjects were not told that they were
being placed under the influence of these beams. A few years earlier,
Dr. Ross Adey released photographs and a fact sheet concerning
what he called the Russian Lida machine. This consisted of a small
transmitter emitting 10-hertz waves which makes the subject susceptible
to hypnotic suggestion. The device utilized the outmoded vacuum-tube
design. American POWs in Korea have indicated that similar devices
had been used for interrogation purposes in POW camps.
The general, long term goal of the CIA was to find out whether
or not mind control could be achieved through the use of a precise,
external, electromagnetic beam. The electrical activity of the
brain operates within the range of 100 hertz frequency. This spectrum
is called ELF or Extremely Low Frequency range. ELF waves carry
very little ionizing radiation and very low heat, and therefore
do not manifest gross, observable physical effects on living organisms.
Published Soviet experiments with ELFs reveal that there was a
marked increase in psychiatric and central nervous system disorders
and symptoms of stress for sailors working close to ELF generators.
In the mid-1970s, American interest in combining EMR techniques
with hypnosis was very prominent. Plans were on file to develop
these techniques through experiments on human volunteers. The
spoken word of the hypnotist could be conveyed by modulated electromagnetic
energy directly into the subconscious parts of the human brain
without employing any technical devices for receiving or transacting
the messages and without the person exposed to such influence
having a chance to control the information input consciously.
In California, it was discovered by Dr. Adey that animal brain
waves could be altered directly by ELF fields. It was found that
monkey brains would fall in phase with ELF waves. These waves
could easily pass through the skull, which normally protected
the central nervous system from outside influence.
In San Leandro, Dr. Elizabeth Rauscher, director of Technic Research
Laboratory, has been doing ELF/brain research with human subjects
for some time. One of the frequencies produces nausea for more
than an hour. Another frequency, she calls it the marijuana frequency,
gets people laughing. "Give me the money and three months,"
she says, "and I'll be able to affect the behavior of eighty
percent of the people in this town without their knowing it."
Record)
In the past, the Soviet Union has invested large sums of time
and money investigating microwaves. In 1952, while the Cold War
was showing no signs of thawing, there was a secret meeting at
the Sandia Corporation in New Mexico between U.S. and Soviet scientists
involving the exchange of information regarding the biological
hazards and safety levels of EMR. The Soviets possessed the greater
preponderance of information, and the American scientists were
unwilling to take it seriously. In subsequent meetings, the Soviet
scientists continued to stress the seriousness of the risks, while
American scientists downplayed their importance.
Shortly after the last Sandia meeting, the Soviets began directing
a microwave beam at the U.S. embassy in Moscow, using embassy
workers as guinea pigs for low-level EMR experiments. Washington,
D.C. was oddly quiescent, regarding the Moscow embassy bombardment.
Discovered in 1962, the Moscow signal was investigated by the
CIA, which hired a consultant, Milton Zaret, and code named the
research Project Pandora. According to Zaret, the Moscow signal
was composed of several frequencies, and was focused precisely
upon the Ambassador's office. The intensity of the bombardment
was not made public, but when the State Department finally admitted
the existence of the signal, it announced that it was fairly low.
There was consensus among Soviet EMR researchers that a beam such
as the Moscow signal was destined to produced blurred vision and
loss of mental concentration. The Boston Globe reported that the
American ambassador had not only developed a leukemia-like blood
disease, but also suffered from bleeding eyes and chronic headaches.
Under the CIA's Project Pandora, monkeys were brought into the
embassy and exposed to the Moscow signal; they were found to have
developed blood composition anomalies and unusual chromosome counts.
Embassy personnel were found to have a 40 percent higher than
average white blood cell count. While Operation Pandora's data
gathering proceeded, embassy personnel continued working in the
facility and were not informed of the bombardment until 10 years
later. Embassy employees were eventually granted a 20 percent
hardship allowance for their service in an unhealthful post. Throughout
the period of bombardment, the CIA used the opportunity to gather
data on psychological and biological effects of the beam on American
personnel.
The U.S. government began to examine the affects of the Moscow
signal. The job was turned over to the Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency (DARPA). DARPA is now developing electromagnetic
weaponry. The man in charge of the DARPA program, Dr. Jack Verona,
is so important and so secretive that he doesn't even return President
George Bush's telephone calls
The American public was never informed that the military had planned
to develop electromagnetic weapons until 1982, when the revelation
appeared in a technical Air Force magazine.
The magazine article stated, "....specifically generated
radio-frequency radiation (RFR) fields may pose powerful and revolutionary
anti-personnel military trends." The article indicated that
that it would be very easy to use electromagnetic fields to disrupt
the human brain because the brain, itself, was an electrically
mediated organ. It further indicated that a rapidly scanning RFR
system would have a stunning or killing capability over a large
area. The system was developable.
Navy Captain Dr. Paul E. Taylor read a paper at the Air University
Center for Aerospace Doctrine, Research and Education, at Maxwell
Air Force Base, Alabama. Dr. Taylor was responsible for the Navy's
Radiation Laboratory and had been studying radiation effects on
humans. In his paper, Dr. Taylor stated, "The ability of
individuals to function (as soldiers) could be degraded to such
a point that would be combat ineffective." The system was
so sophisticated that it employed microwaves and millimeter waves
and was transportable by a large truck.
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the South Bay, are working
on the development of a "brain bomb". A bomb could be
dropped in the middle of a battlefield which would produce microwaves,
incapacitating the minds of soldiers within a circumscribed area.
Applications of microwave technology in espionage were available
for over 25 years. In a meeting in Berkeley of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science as early as 1965, Professor J.
Anthony Deutsch of New York University, provided an important
segment of research in the field of memory control. In layman
terms, Professor Deutsch indicated that the mind is a transmitter
and if too much information is received, like too many vehicles
on a crowded freeway, the brain ceases to transmit. The Professor
indicated that an excess of acetyl choline in the brain can interfere
with the memory process and control. He indicated excess amounts
of acetyl choline can be artificially produced, through both the
administration of drugs or through the use of radio waves. The
process is called Electronic Dissolution of Memory (EDOM). The
memory transmission can be stopped for as long as the radio signal
continues.
As a result, the awareness of the person skips over those minutes
during which he is subjected to the radio signal. Memory is distorted,
and time-orientation is destroyed.
According to Lincoln Lawrence, author of Were We Controlled, EDOM
is now operational. "There is already in use a small EDOM
generator/transmitter which can be concealed on the body of the
person.
Contact with this person, a casual handshake or even just a touch,
transmits a tiny electronic charge plus an ultra-sonic signal
tone which for a short period will disturb the time-orientation
of the person affected....it can be a potent weapon for hopelessly
confusing evidence in the investigation of a crime "
Brain
Thirty years ago, Allen Frey discovered that microwaves of 300
to 3000 megahertz could be "heard" by people, even if
they were deaf, if pulsed at a certain rate. Appearing to be originating
just in back of the head, the sound boomed, clicked, hissed or
buzzed, depending upon the frequency. Later research has shown
that the perception of the waves take place just in front of the
ears. The microwaves causes pressure waves in the brain tissue,
and this phenomenon vibrates the sound receptors in the inner
ear through the bone structure. Some microwaves are capable of
directly stimulating the nerve cells of the auditory pathways.
This has been confirmed with experiments with rats, in which the
sound registers 120 decibels, which is equal to the volume of
a nearby jet during takeoff. Aside from having the capability
of causing pain and preventing auditory communication, a more
subtle effect was demonstrated at the Walter Reed Army Institute
of Research by Dr. Joseph C. Sharp. Dr. Sharp, himself, was the
subject of an experiment in which pulsed microwave audiograms,
or the microwave analog of the sound vibrations of spoken words,
were delivered to his brain in such a way that he was able to
understand the words that were spoken. Military and undercover
uses of such a device might include driving a subject crazy with
inner voices in order to discredit him, or conveying undetectable
instructions to a programmed assassin.
But the technology has been carried even a step further. It has
been demonstrated by Dr. Ross Adey that microwaves can be used
to directly bring about changes in the electrical patterns of
different parts of the brain. His experiments showed that he could
achieve the same mind control over animals as Dr. Delgado did
in the bull incident. Dr. Delgado used brain implants in his animals,
Dr. Adey used microwave devices without preconditioning. He made
animals act and look like electronic toys.
At the conclusion of World War Two, American investigators learned
that Nazi doctors at the Dachau concentration camp in Germany
had been conducting mind control experiments on inmates. They
experimented with hypnosis and with the drug mescaline.
Mescaline is a quasi-synthetic extract of the peyote cactus, and
is very similar to LSD in the hallucinations which it produces.
Though they did not achieve the degree of success they had desired,
the SS interrogators in conjunction with the Dachau doctors were
able to extract the most intimate secrets from the prisoners when
the inmates were given very high doses of mescaline.
There were fatal mind control experiments conducted at Auschwitz.
The experiments there were described by one informant as "brainwashing
with chemicals". The informant said the Gestapo wasn't satisfied
with extracting information by torture. "So the next question
was, why don't we do it like the Russians, who have been able
to get confessions of guilt at their show trials?" They tried
various barbiturates and morphine derivatives. After prisoners
were fed a coffee-like substance, two of them died in the night
and others died later.
The Dachau mescaline experiments were written up in a lengthy
report issued by the U.S. Naval Technical Mission, whose job it
was at the conclusion of the war to scour all of Europe for every
shred of industrial and scientific material that had been produced
by the Third Reich. It was as a result of this report that the
U.S. Navy became interested in mescaline as an interrogation tool.
The Navy initiated Project Chatter in 1947, the same year the
Central Intelligence Agency was formed. The Chatter format included
developing methods for acquiring information from people against
their will, but without inflicting harm or pain. At the conclusion
of the war, the OSS was designated as the investigative unit for
the International Military Tribunal, which was to become known
as the Nuremberg Trials. The purpose of Nuremberg was to try the
principal Nazi leaders. Some Nazis were on trial for their experiments,
and the U.S. was using its own "truth drugs" on these
principal Nazi prisoners, namely Goring, Ribbentrop, Speer and
eight others. The Justice in charge of the tribunal had given
the OSS permission to use the drugs.
The Dachau doctors who performed the mescaline experiments also
were involved in aviation medicine. The aviation experiments at
Dachau fascinated Heinrich Himmler. Himmler followed the progress
of the tests, studied their findings and often suggested improvements.
The Germans had a keen interest in several medical problems in
the field of flying, they were interested in preventing pilots
from slowly becoming unconscious as a result of breathing the
thin air of the high altitudes and there was interest in enhancing
night vision.
The main research in this area was at the Institute of Aviation
in Munich, which had excellent laboratories. The experiments in
relationship to the Institute were conducted at Dachau. Inmates
had been immersed in tubs of ice water with instruments placed
in their orifices in order to monitor their painful deaths. Dr.
Hubertus Strughold, who ran the German aviation medicine team,
confirmed that he had heard humans were used for the Dachau experiments.
Hidden in a cave in Hallein were files recording the Dachau experiments.
On May 15, 1941, Dr. Sigmund Rascher wrote a letter to Himmler
requesting permission to use the Dachau inmates for experiments
on the physiology of high altitudes. Rascher lamented the fact
that no such experiments have been done using human subjects.
"The experiments are very dangerous and we cannot attract
volunteers," he told Himmler. His request was approved.
Dachau was filled with Communists and Social Democrats, Jews,
Jehovah's Witnesses, Gypsies, clergymen, homosexuals, and people
critical of the Nazi government. Upon entering Dachau, prisoners
lost all legal status, their hair was shaved off, all their possessions
confiscated, they were poorly fed, and they were used as slaves
for both the corporations and the government. The SS guards were
brutal and sadistic. The idea to test subjects at Dachau was really
the brain child of Erich Hippke, chief surgeon of the Luftwaffe.
Between March and August of 1942 extensive experiments were conducted
at Dachau regarding the limits of human endurance at high altitudes.
These experiments were conducted for the benefit of the German
Air Force. The experiments took place in a low-pressure chamber
in which altitudes of up to 68,000 feet could be simulated. The
subjects were placed in the chamber and the altitude was raised,
many inmates died as a result. The survivors often suffered serious
injury. One witness at the Nuremberg trails, Anton Pacholegg,
who was sent to Dachau in 1942, gave an eyewitness account of
the typical pressure test:
"The Luftwaffe delivered a cabinet constructed of wood and
metal. It was possible in the cabinet to either decrease or increase
the air pressure. You could observe through a little window the
reaction of the subject inside the chamber. The purpose of these
experiments was to test human energy and the subject's capacity...to
take large amounts of pure oxygen, and then to test his reaction
to a gradual decrease in oxygen. I have personally seen through
the observation window of the chamber when a prisoner inside would
stand a vacuum until his lungs ruptured. Some experiments gave
men such pressure in their heads that they would go mad and pull
out their hair in an effort to relieve the pressure. They would
tear their heads and face with their fingers and nails in an attempt
to maim themselves in their madness. They would beat the walls
with their hands and head and scream in an effort to relieve pressure
in their eardrums. These cases of extreme vacuums generally ended
in the death of the subjects."
The former prisoner also testified, "An extreme experiment
was so certain to result in death that in many instances the chamber
was used for routine execution purposes rather than an experiment."
A minimum 200 prisoners were known to have died in these experiments.
The doctors directly involved with the research held very high
positions: Karl Brandt was Hitler's personal doctor; Oskar Schroeder
was the Chief of the Medical Services of the Luftwaffe; Karl Gebhardt
was Chief Surgeon on the Staff of the Reich Physician SS and Police
and German Red Cross President; Joachim Mrugowsky was Chief of
the Hygienic Institute of the Waffen SS; Helmut Poppendick was
a senior colonel in the SS and Chief of the Personal Staff of
the Reich Physicians SS and Police; Siegfried Ruff was Director
of the Department of Aviation Medicine.
The first human guinea pig was a 37 year old Jew in good health.
Himmler invited 40 top Luftwaffe officers to view a movie of an
inmate dying in the pressure chamber. After the pressure chamber
tests, the cold treatment experiments began. The experiments consisted
of immersing inmates in freezing water while their vital signs
were monitored. The goal was to discover the cause of death. Heart
failure was the answer. An inmate described the procedures:
"The basins were filled with water and ice was added until
the water measured 37.4 F and the experimental subjects were either
dressed in a flying suit or were placed in the water naked. The
temperature was measured rectally and through the stomach. The
lowering of the body temperature to 32 degrees was terrible for
experimental subjects. At 32 degrees the subject lost consciousness.
They were frozen to 25 degrees. The worst experiment was performed
on two Russian officer POWs. They were placed in the basin naked.
Hour after hour passed, and while usually after a short time,
60 minutes, freezing had set in, these two Russians were still
conscious after two hours. After the third hour one Russian told
the other, 'Comrade, tell that officer to shoot us.' The other
replied, 'Don't expect any mercy from this Fascist dog.' Then
they shook hands and said goodbye. The experiment lasted at least
five hours until death occurred.
"Dry freezing experiments were also carried out at Dachau.
One subject was put outdoors on a stretcher at night when it was
extremely cold. While covered with a linen sheet, a bucket of
cold water was poured over him every hour. He was kept outdoors
under sub-freezing conditions. In subsequent experiments, subjects
were simply left outside naked in a court under freezing conditions
for hours. Himmler gave permission to move the experiments to
Auschwitz, because it was more private and because the subjects
of the experiment would howl all night as they froze. The physical
pain of freezing was terrible. The subjects died by inches, heartbeat
became totally irregular, breathing difficulties and lung endema
resulted, hands and feet became frozen white."
As the Germans began to lose the war, the aviation doctors began
too keep their names from appearing in Himmler's files for fear
of future recriminations.
The Nazi doctors who experimented on the inmates of prison camps
during World War Two were tried for murder at the Nuremberg Tribunal.
The accused were educated, trained physicians, they did not kill
in anger or in malice, they were creating a science of death.
Ironically, in 1933, the Nazi's passed a law for the protection
of animals. The law cited the prevention of cruelty and indifference
to animals as one of the highest moral values of a people, animal
experimentation was unthinkable, but human experimentations were
acceptable. The victims of the crime of these doctors numbered
into the thousands.
Protocols
In 1953, while the Central Intelligence Agency was still conducting
mind control and behavior modification on unwitting humans in
this country, the United States signed the Nuremberg Code, a code
born out of the ashes of war and human suffering. The document
was a solemn promise never to tolerate such human atrocities again.
The Code maintains three fundamental principles:
- The subjects of any experimentation must be volunteers who
thoroughly understand the purpose and the dangers of the experiments. - They must be free to give consent and the consent must be
without pressure and they must be free to quit the experiments
at any time. - The experiments must be likely to yield knowledge which is
valuable to everyone. The knowledge must be such that it could
not be gained in any other way.
The experiments must be conducted by only the most competent doctors,
and they must exercise extreme care.
The Nazi aviation experiments met none of these conditions. Most
inmates at Dachau knew that the experiments in the pressure chamber
were fatal. From the very beginning, control of the experiments
was largely in the hands of the SS, which was later judged to
be a criminal organization by the Nuremberg Tribunal.
Despite our lessons from Nuremberg and the death camps, the CIA,
U.S. Navy and the U.S. Army Chemical Corps targeted specific groups
of people for experimentation who were not able to resist, prisoners,
mental patients, foreigners, ethnic minorities, sex deviants,
the terminally ill, children and U.S. military personnel and prisoners
of war.
They violated the Nuremberg Code for conducting and subsidizing
experiments on unwitting citizens. The CIA began its mind control
projects in 1953, the very year that the U.S. signed the Nuremberg
Code and pledged with the international community of nations to
respect basic human rights and to prohibit experimentation on
captive populations without full and free consent.
Dr. Cameron, a CIA operative, was one of the worst offenders against
the Code, yet he was a member of the Nuremberg Tribunal, with
full knowledge of its testimony. In 1973, a three judge court
in Michigan ruled, "experimental psychosurgery, which is
irreversible and intrusive, often leads to the blunting of emotions,
the deadening of memory, the reduction of affect, and limits the
ability to generate new ideas. Its potential for injury to the
creativity of the individual is great and can infringe on the
right of the individual to be free from interference with his
mental process.
"The state's interest in performing psychosurgery and the
legal ability of the involuntarily detained mental patient to
give consent, must bow to the First Amendment, which protects
the generation and free flow of ideas from unwarranted interference
with one's mental processes."
Citing the Nuremberg Code, the court found that "the very
nature of the subject's incarceration diminishes the capacity
to consent to psychosurgery."
In 1973, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts enacted regulations
which would require informed written consent from voluntary patients
before electroshock treatment could be performed.
Senator Sam Ervin's Committee lashed out bitterly at the mind
control and behavior modification experiments and ordered them
discontinued, they were not.
The New England Journal of Medicine states, that the consent provisions
now in place are "no more than an elaborate ritual."
They called it "a device that when the subject is uneducated
and uncomprehending, confers no more than a semblance of propriety
on human experimentation."
The Nuremberg Tribunal brought to light that some of the most
respected figures in the medical profession were involved in the
vast crime network of the SS. Only 23 persons were charged with
criminal activity in this area, despite the fact that hundreds
of medical personnel were involved. The defendants were charged
with crimes against humanity. They were found guilty of planning
and executing experiments on humans without their consent, in
a cruel and brutal manner which involved severe torture, deliberate
murder and with the full knowledge of the gravity of their deeds.
Only seven of the defendants were sentenced to death and hanged,
others received life sentences. Five who were involved in the
experiments were not tried. Ernest Grawitz committed suicide,
Carl Clauberg was tried in the Soviet Union, Josef Mengele escaped
to South America and was later captured by Israeli agents, Horst
Schumann disappeared and Siegmund Rascher was executed by Himmler.
Nazi Doctors
There were 200 German medical doctors conducting these medical
experiments. Most of these doctors were friends of the United
States before the war, and despite their inhuman experiments,
the U.S. attempted to rebuild a relationship with them after the
war. The knowledge the Germans had accumulated at the expense
of human life and suffering, was considered a "booty of war",
by the Americans and the Russians.The Americans tracked down Dr.
Strughold, the aviation doctor who was in charge of the Dachau
experiments.
With full knowledge that the experiments were conducted on captive
humans, the U.S. recruited the doctors to work for them. General
Dwight D. Eisenhower gave his personal approval to exploit the
work and research of the Nazi's in the death camps.
Within weeks of Eisenhower's order, many of these notorious doctors
were working for the U.S. Army at Heidelberg. Army teams scoured
Europe for scientific experimental apparatus such as pressure
chambers, compressors, G-force machines, giant centrifuges, and
electron microscopes. These doctors were wined and dined by the
U.S. Army while most of Germany's post-war citizens virtually
starved.
The German doctors were brought to the U.S. and went to work for
Project Paperclip. All these doctors had been insulated against
war crime charges. The Nuremberg prosecutors were shocked that
U.S. authorities were using the German doctors despite their criminal
past.
Under the leadership of Strughold, 34 scientists accepted contracts
from Project Paperclip, and were moved to Randolph Air Force Base
at San Antonio, Texas. The authorization to hire these Nazi scientists
came directly for the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The top military
brass stated that they wished to exploit these rare minds. Project
Paperclip, ironically, would use Nazi doctors to develop methods
of interrogating German prisoners of war.
As hostilities began to build after the war between the Americans
and the Russians, the U.S. imported as many as 1000 former Nazi
scientists.
In 1969, Americans landed on the moon, and two groups of scientist
in the control center shared the credit, the rocket team from
Peenemunde, Germany, under the leadership of Werner von Braun,
these men had perfected the V-2s which were built in the Nordhausen
caves where 20,000 slave laborers from prison camp Dora had been
worked to death. The second group were the space doctors, lead
by 71-year-old Dr. Hubertus Strughold, whose work was pioneered
in Experimental Block No. 5 of the Dachau concentration camp and
the torture and death of hundreds of inmates. The torture chambers
that was used to slowly kill the prisoners of the Nazi's were
the test beds for the apparatus that protected Neil Armstrong
from harm, from lack of oxygen, and pressure, when he walked on
the moon.
