Building the Manchurian Candidate



Here is the unadulterated straight scoop, the dirty lowdown on the real
deal in regards to mind control, from the world's foremost authority on
the vast number of mind control operations run by covert, utterly
malignant intelligence and military agencies of the U.S. government.

This information Dr. Ross presents--hard, documented evidence by the
truckload--completely blows the lid off some of the most horrific,
brutal, heinous and vicious activities ever intentionally perpetrated
upon countless thousands of human beings over the past FIFTY years by
the psychotic, despicable Nazi filth in clandestine U.S. government agencies.

To quote Dr. Ross from the material below: "Today I will prove to you...
beyond dispute ...that intelligence agencies have been creating
Manchurian candidates and MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder) for
operational use since the Second World War. This is not a conspiracy
theory. This is a fact."

 
This report is CRUCIAL material.

But caution!--NOT for the faint of heart or the squeamish!

CKLN-FM Mind Control Series -- Part 1



The CIA and Military Mind Control Research: Building the Manchurian Candidate

A lecture by Dr. Colin Ross



Back to CKLN Series Table of Contents

CKLN-FM 88.1 Toronto - International Connection Mar 16, 23, 30, 1997

Wayne Morris:

Good morning, welcome to International Connection. It's a very special
show this morning. This is the beginning of a journey we are about to
take on this programme. A journey into a gruesome world of mind control
experiments by government-financed doctors in Canada and the United
States. Inhuman experiments performed on humans, children for the most
part. For the next 8 months on the show we will be airing interviews
with survivors of mind control experiments and ritual abuse, lectures
and interviews with therapists, researchers, and writers who are dealing
with the legacy of mind control.

Specifically we'll be looking at the documented history of U.S. CIA and
military mind control experimental programs. Also the struggles of
survivors to get compensation from the CIA and the Canadian government
in particular govt-funded mind control experiments at McGill University
under Dr. Ewen Cameron. We'll be hearing the accounts of survivors of
horrific experiments involving electroshock, drugs, brain implants,
sensory deprivation, psychic driving, forced sleep, ritual and sexual
abuse. We'll also be discussing the military and intelligence uses of
mind control including theft, assassination, and sexual blackmail using
child victims. We'll be talking about the uses of creating MPD in people
for mind control programming and its links to the MP effects of ritual
abuse. We'll be discussing with therapists to talk about the effects of
severe trauma, sexual abuse, recovered memories and the 'False Memory Syndrome'

Many people listening may be aware of Dr. Cameron's projects at the
Allan Memorial Institute in Montreal but this wasn't the only location.
The experimental projects were carried out all across Canada and of
course in the United States.

The first segment of this radio series Mind Control in Canada features a
lecture by Dr. Colin Ross to colleagues about the history of the U.S.
CIA and military mind control programs. Dr. Ross is a Canadian
psychiatrist specializing in MPD currently practicing in Texas. He has
researched this subject for many years and is currently writing a book
about mind control. He has obtained thousands of CIA documents through
the Freedom of Information Act and through these documents, Dr. Ross is
able to prove the US government has been using MPD and Manchurian
Candidates operationally since WWII.. and it doesn't stop there.

This lecture is part one of three one-hour segments to kick off this
radio series Mind Control in Canada on 88.1 CKLN.

And now Dr. Colin Ross:

[Dr. Colin Ross, M.D.
The CIA and Military Mind Control Research: Building the Manchurian
Candidate Lecture given at 9th Annual Western Clinical Conference on
Trauma and Dissociation, April 18, 1996, Orange County, California]

I'm very very happy that you are all here. This is the first time that I
have talked on this stuff in public, and the problem was that Kevin made
a little mistake on the schedule. He didn't get the title quite right.
This is actually a performance art piece. It's entitled: "Psychiatrist
Trying to Stay Calm and Casual". But before we go any further, by the
way, there are a couple of messages here for people who are supposed to
call home: William C. Hollinger (if he's here) - he's supposed to call
his lab in Pittsburgh. L. Wilson Green, you're supposed to call your lab
at Edgeware Arsenal. And Ewen Cameron, there's a message to call Leonard
in Montreal. So why is it I am talking about this, and what is it I am
trying to say here? Well, one explanation is no one has the faintest
idea what I am talking about and I am here talking about it because I am
a little wacky. Hopefully by the end of the day, that won't be the
conclusion. However, that is a conclusion that unhappily is in print in
various esteemed locations such as the British Journal of Psychiatry,
Esquire Magazine, and Richard's Ofshe's book, and a CBC film. It's been
a very curious experience to go through this little journey that Kevin
just alluded to, which is the same journey that we have all gone through
if we have heard this from patients. It's starts off back in the remote
past, 1981-85, when I am a psychiatric resident. I mentioned yesterday
that in four years of medical school and four years of residency, I have
had more multiple choice questions on Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome, which just
to remind you, as you all know, is an inherited deficiency of enzyme
hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosltransferase-I had more questions on
that syndrome in my four years of medical school and four years of
psychiatric residency than on childhood sexual abuse, and more teaching.
So then somewhere in the course of the residency I get up to speed on
dissociative disorders and connect them to childhood abuse and read up
on the literature and get a little bit grounded, and the avalanche of
MPD cases starts for me in late 1985 into 1986, and I think I have kind
of (a little bit) got what's going on and some person comes in and
starts telling me about their father was killed by the Mafia and they
were taken to a child prostitution brothel and then they were involved
in satanic ritual stuff. So I go "Gee", no books, no literature, nobody
ever heard of it, nobody talks about it, totally in outer space, no idea
what to do, which way to turn. I go to the Eastern Regional Conference,
go to Chicago, find out a little bit, start getting a little bit
grounded and the first couple of cases, my personal reaction is, "Gawh!"
- this sure sounds real, could be real, it's pretty scary. Wonder if I
should let my kids out on Halloween or not. And then the sort of basic
experience is whatever percent of SRA is actually real, it is clear that
we got into some sort of hysteria wave in society in general, and in the
profession, and a lot of people went a bridge or two too far on their
journey, and we had to reign ourselves back in. So the time course now
is, in my training, there is no sexual abuse at all. It doesn't exist.
It's not relevant because it doesn't exist. Then it goes to, well, it
exists, but it's not really all that relevant and then there's these
sorts of outlaw gadfly sort of people who are into dissociative
disorders who aren't accepted by the mainstream. Then the dissociative
disorders people from a foundation of reality that was hidden go off
into outer space on this-it wasn't alien abductions, but it was still
outer space-on this ritual abuse stuff. Then they sort of come back to
earth and get a little bit grounded-and the next thing you know it's all
this government experiments, mind control stuff. So if you follow the
pattern, what should be the case is just another hysteria wave. And the
more you look at it, the more it will just dissolve, and we will all
settle down and forget about it. Well the pattern didn't work. Because
when I systematically started looking into CIA military mind control,
the more I looked, the more solid reality there was there. And as you
will see as we go through these slides, and through this talk, it's a
completely different deal from SRA. Somewhere out there in the justice
system, there may actually be objective evidence where somebody has
actually busted a SRA cult. If there is, that information is not
generally publicly available to us. It is a fact that we have not nailed
down human ritual sacrifice cults in North America if they exist. So
it's all conjecture. Today I will prove to you, completely locked down,
documented, proven, beyond dispute discussion that intelligence agencies
have been creating Manchurian candidates and MPD for operational use
since the Second World War. This is not a conspiracy theory. This is a
fact. Now that's very amazing because if you took an opinion poll of all
the psychiatrists in the American Psychiatric Association today-or you
took the same poll five years ago -- 99.999% ... over 99% of the
psychiatrists would say "it's fiction, we know the movie is fiction,
Frank Sinatra did a good job, but there's just no way, it's absolutely
impossible." (There might be two outlaw psychiatrists in the whole group
who would say that it's possible that Manchurian candidates are real.)
This is a very, very strange phenomena that actually in 1996 this is a
completely documented fact-it's a very strange sociological little
development in the field of psychiatry. How could that be possible? Well
I'm going to try and explain how it's possible. So that's "what" I am
going to talk about. Also I am going to talk about not just creating
Manchurian candidates, but the whole network of mind control doctors
that is involved in this and supports this-this kind of old boys'
network that maintains all of this. And you will see a whole bunch of
slides with godzillian interconnections that I will go into in detail.
And every one of those steps - unless I otherwise specify - is
completely documented. Absolutely objective in full. So there is
something real peculiar about the whole story. It's a very strange
story. It tells us that there is something going on in our culture and
in the mental health field that is hidden and secret. This is another
kind of incest secret in the field of psychiatry that all of these
people who have been running psychiatry in the latter half of the 20th
century are either directly or loosely connected to a whole huge
universe of covert hidden secretly funded mind control research, and as
I emphasized, that's a fact. Now why should we be talking about that at
this conference? Well it's obvious. If in fact experimental MPD has been
created and has been tight and hard and real enough for operational use
by intelligence agencies for the last 50 years, then it is something of
interest to the dissociative disorders field. This is profound evidence
in favour of the iatrogenic pathway to DID that I talked about this
morning. When I combine the expert witness experience that I have had at
clinically created iatrogenic DID using the techniques of destructive
psychotherapy cults in the course of persuasion, as I described this
morning-when I take that expert witness evidence and see those cases
created out of a base of no pre-existing DID and then I go to this CIA
military mind control literature, my only possible conclusion is yes,
you can create full tilt DID artificially from ground zero. Also I have
to conclude that you can create any degree of complexity, permutations
of false memory that you want. There is absolutely no limit on the
quantity, complexity, reality, congruence, plausibility of false
memories that you can insert in somebody's mind-wittingly or
unwittingly. So-they didn't tell me that in medical school. This is a
little sub paradigm revolution in the DID field. There is a huge wealth
of information, experimental information, clinical anecdotal
information, and operational street smarts knowledge of DID that's been
up and running and full tilt in the mental health field for 50 years
now. This did not spring out of nowhere in 1980, and we are missing a
ton of experimental research data that's still classified that bears
directly on this false memory debate that is going on in our society
now. And you will see some of the players in this whole scenario of
interesting people. (If we could put the slide projector on)

Every slide that I will show you is in your handout packet, so you don't
have to take notes. Anybody who is listening to the tape-there are also
a few examples of the documents. If you want that information, you can
call me at Charter Hospital at 1-800-255-3312 and we can just mail that
to you. The first point is that there are a lot of documented
declassified mind control research programs that are completely
objectively proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. I have a lot of this
material and some I have on order. This is CIA now. Bluebird and
Artichoke were two programs that ran from 1951-53 and I will read you
some stuff from Artichoke in a minute. These were then rolled over into
MKULTRA which ran from 1953 to 1963 and then there are 149 sub-projects
that you will see a listing of in a second. That was then
administratively rolled over into MKSEARCH which ran until 1973.
Contiguously with that, and in collaboration with Edgeware Arsenal,
MKNAOMI which involved MKULTRA, ARTICHOKE and BLUEBIRD type research
done abroad and nationally ran from 1953 to 1970. This involves all
kinds of hallucinogens, hypnosis and so on that I will go into in
detail. STARGATE just recently declassified E.S.P., paranormal, remote
viewing military uses of telekinesis type research that was done from an
uncertain start date up until 1984. Bill Gates, former Director of the
CIA on ABC's Dateline in December of 1995 said that it ran up until
1984. They had one of the academic contractors to STARGATE on the show
and they had the man whose job was CIA oversight of military
experimentation under STARGATE. So this really went on, they really used
psychics operationally and they believed in it enough to keep spending
millions of dollars on it for several decades probably. Now when you
read all the Senate materials from the 1970's and you read all the
existing literature, the claim of the intelligence community was that
all this mind control research was stopped in 1973 due to Senate
oversight and so on. One of the MKULTRA sub-projects is on the
paranormal, esp and using esp for covert operations purposes. That
element of MKULTRA didn't stop in 1973. We now know from the CIA itself
that it ran on until 1984. So we know for a fact that at least that
element of this mind control research program that was said to have
stopped in 1973, continued to 1984. My position is that it is simply
implausible that this stuff isn't ongoing up to the present.

You can see from this list (Projects Chatter, Often, Derbyhat, Third
Chance, Chickwit, MKDelta and QK Hilltop) that there was a large number
of different programs in the 1950's, 60's and 70's ... all of which have
a just a little tidbit of information about them. Most of the actual
documents and so on, nobody has either reviewed or obtained through the
Freedom of Information Act yet. So this is a huge amount of, as yet
still classified information. Now we are going to give you a smattering
run-through of the institutions that were sites for MKULTRA research. In
MKULTRA there were 149 different sub-projects and these were not in
obscure little corners of the world. This is the American Psychological
Association, this is the Butler Hospital Health Centre which is part of
Harvard, Children's International Summer Village ... this is a charming
place ... this is a project involving a study of children at an
international summer camp aged 11 and the study of how children who
don't share a common language communicate and in the CIA report it
states that the investigator was unwitting of the fact that it was CIA
funding and the purpose of the CIA in these 11 year olds was that they
might possibly identify promising young foreign nationals for future use
by the Agency. Columbia University, Cornell, Denver, Emory, Florida,
George Washington, Harvard. This will give you a feel for who is
involved in this stuff. Houston, Illinois, Indiana Universities, Johns
Hopkins, Eli Lilly was the big supplier of LSD to the CIA. Those of you
who can remember the sixties might remember the "House of the Rising
Sun" by the British rock group, The Animals. They had a song called "The
Girl Named Sandoz". Sandoz was the employer of Hoffman who discovered
LSD in the forties, and Sandoz was the original supplier of LSD to the
CIA and the military in the 1950's and they wanted a secure American
supplier so they contracted with Eli Lilly to become the developer.
University of Minnesota, New Jersey Reformatory, Bordentown in Tennessee
... Ohio, University of Pennsylvania, Penn State, Princeton, Stanford, a
couple of universities in Texas, Wisconsin, the Bureau of Narcotics, a
prison, a narcotics farm. So these contracts ... McGill, NIH, NIMH,
National Philosophical Society ... everything and everybody gets in on
the act a little. NRC. So these were all of the major players in North
American psychiatry and psychology who were receiving this kind of
funding. Office of Naval Research ... which you are going to see
multiple times on the slides. Worcester Foundation for Experimental
Biology ... all kinds of different agencies and groups. MKSEARCH was the
one that MKULTRA was rolled into. It ran from 1963 to 1973. Again Bureau
of Narcotics, New Jersey Neuropsychiatric which is also an MKULTRA site
which I will talk about in more detail. Vacaville State Prison which you
are going to hear a whole bunch about. Now BLUEBIRD and ARTICHOKE which
were 1951-53 ... institutions there include the Bureau of Narcotics,
Cornell, Eli Lilly again, NIH, Public Health Service, University of
Minnesota ... you get the idea. Now what about the proven identity of
some of the actual contractors? The terminology here is ... we've got
the contractor and we've got the sub-project number and I have most of
the sub- contract files. Security status ... TS means top secret
cleared, UW means unwitting because this money was usually put through a
funding front and you will see a slide showing how that was all
organized so a person could get money through a CIA funding front and
genuinely not know it was CIA money. They would just think it was
another Foundation. Most of the people you haven't heard of like James
Hamilton, Harold Abramson, Carl Pfeiffer, but you will hear more about
them later today. Some of these people might sound a little familiar ...
Louis Jolyon West at UCLA, Ewen Cameron who was at McGill, he's been
written about a lot, and yes this is Carl Rogers of Rogerian
psychotherapy fame. He was actually a spook psychiatrist with top secret
clearance who was on the Advisory Board of one of the funding fronts and
received funding for psychotherapeutic research on schizophrenia. It's a
very funny thing that Mr. Friendly Carl was in the network. Martin Orne,
you will hear a lot about him. These people were at University of
Oklahoma. They were doing research on street gangs. Four of the MKULTRA
sub-projects were on children and all of the investigators for those
were UW unwitting. Martin Orne's top secret clearance status. Maitland
Baldwin who did stuff on monkey brains. George White was a CIA career
officer who constructed safe houses in San Francisco and New York where
people were recruited in off the streets to have sex with prostitutes
and were given LSD and other drugs without their knowing it. The
rationale for this was that they were attempting to study reaction of
unwitting subjects in civilian settings to mind control drugs. An
alternative hypothesis to this was that they were actually testing
Manchurian candidate prostitute performance. Harold Wolff was at
Cornell. Raymond Prince I have corresponded with. He was UW unwitting.
He did research among the Aruba in Nigeria on their folk healing
practices. R. Gordon Watson-I was a little bit unhappy to see him on the
list, but relieved to see he was unwitting because I read a book of his
called "SOMA: Divine Mushrooms of Immortality" ... a very interesting
book on Fly Agrate which is the little red toadstool with the white
flakes on it. The use of that by circumpolar shamans has a very
interesting history. John Mulholland is actually a magician. When you go
through these documents, all these names are whited out. You have to
piece it together from here and there. It's a great big story trying to
track it all down. Except they goofed it up. John Mulholland was not
whited out once. When you get a file on one of these sub-projects, there
is usually a page in there that has standardized wording about no
individuals associated with this project are witting or so and so whose
name is whited out has top secret clearance and is aware of agency
involvement. There's somebody you have probably heard of. His name is
B.F. Skinner. I am still doing some of the archival research to find out
what his sub-project number is, and what his security status is but I
would suspect it will turn out to be top secret. Just before we get to
that slide, I am going to read you some material, some of which is in
your handout. As you can see, these slides are going to show you an
awful lot of connections between an awful lot of different things here.
You get the gist ... there were a lot of different sub-projects, a lot
of different investigators all over mainstream academia. Now I am going
to jump to proving to you that MPD has been created by the CIA and the
military since WWII. The first stop off point is at the back of your
series of handouts there. It's a publication called "Science Digest,
April 1971", the author is G.H. Estabrooks. The article is called
"Hypnosis Comes of Age". When you go to page 48, I am going to read this
out loud for the benefit of people listening to this on tape. He's now
writing, in 1971, and says the following: "One of the most fascinating
but dangerous applications of hypnosis is its use in military
intelligence. This is a field with which I am familiar through
formulating guidelines for the techniques used by the United States in
two world wars." (Ross: For those of you who are not history buffs, that
means at least back to 1914.) "Communication in war is always a
headache. Codes can be broken. A professional spy may or may not stay
bought. Your own man may have unquestionable loyalty but his judgment is
always open to question. The "hypnotic courier" on the other hand,
provides a unique solution. I was involved in preparing many subjects
for this work during World War II. One successful case involved an Army
Service Corps Captain whom we'll call George Smith. Captain Smith had
undergone months of training. He was an excellent subject but did not
realize it. I had removed from him, by post-hypnotic suggestion, all
recollection of ever having been hypnotized. First I had the Service
Corps call the captain to Washington and tell him they needed a report
on the mechanical equipment of Division X headquartered in Tokyo. Smith
was ordered to leave by jet next morning, pick up the report and return
at once. These orders were given him in the waking state. Consciously,
that was all he knew, and it was the story he gave his wife and friends.
Then I put him under deep hypnosis, and gave him-orally-a vital message
to be delivered directly on his arrival in Japan to a certain
colonel-let's say his name was Brown-of military intelligence. Outside
of myself, Colonel Brown was the only person who could hypnotize Captain
Smith. This is "locking". (Ross: I have had patients talk to me about
"locking".) I performed it by saying to the hypnotized Captain: 'Until
further orders from me, only Colonel Brown and I can hypnotize you. We
will use a signal phrase 'the moon is clear'. Whenever you hear this
phrase from Brown or myself you will pass instantly into deep hypnosis.'
When Captain Smith re-awakened, he had no conscious memory of what
happened in trance. All that he was aware of was that he must head for
Tokyo to pick up a division report. On arrival there, Smith reported to
Brown, who hypnotized him with the signal phrase. Under hypnosis, Smith
delivered my message and received one to bring back. Awakened, he was
given the division report and returned home by jet. There I hypnotized
him once more with the signal phrase, and he spieled off Brown's answer
that had been dutifully tucked away in his unconscious mind. The system
is virtually foolproof. As exemplified by this case, the information
literally was "locked" in Smith's unconscious for retrieval by the only
two people who knew the combination. The subject had no conscious memory
of what happened, so couldn't spill the beans. No one else could
hypnotize him even if they might know the signal phrase. Not all
applications of hypnotism to military intelligence are as tidy as that.
Perhaps you have read 'The Three Faces of Eve'. (Ross: Now here he makes
a scholarly mistake because he's talking about Morton Prince's "The
Dissociation of a Personality" but he refers to the book "The Three
Faces of Eve".) The book was based on a case reported in 1905 by Dr.
Morton Prince of Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard. He startled
everyone in the field by announcing that he had cured a woman named
Beauchamp of a split personality problem. Using post-hypnotic suggestion
to submerge an incompatible, childlike facet of the patient, he'd been
able to make two other sides of Mrs. Beauchamp compatible, and lump them
together in a single cohesive personality. Clinical hypnotists
throughout the world jumped on the multiple personality bandwagon as a
fascinating frontier. By the 1920's, not only had they learned to apply
post-hypnotic suggestion to deal with this weird problem, but also had
learned how to split certain complex individuals (Ross: a very
interesting phrase) into multiple personalities like Jeckyll-Hydes. The
potential for military intelligence has been nightmarish. During World
War II, I worked this technique with a vulnerable Marine lieutenant I'll
call Jones. Under the watchful eye of Marine Intelligence, I split her
personality into Jones A and Jones B. Jones A, once a "normal" working
Marine, became entirely different. He talked communist doctrine and
meant it. He was welcomed enthusiastically by communist cells, was
deliberately given a dishonorable discharge by the Corps, which was in
on the plot, (Ross: that's called "sheep-dipping", that's the technical
term for that) and became a card-carrying party member. The joker was
Jones B, the second personality, formerly apparent in the conscious
Marine. Under hypnosis, this Jones had been carefully coached by
suggestion. Jones B was the deeper personality, knew all the thoughts of
Jones A, was a loyal American and was "imprinted" to say nothing during
conscious phases. All I had to do was hypnotize the whole man, get in
touch with Jones B, the loyal American, and I had a pipeline straight
into the Communist camp. It worked beautifully for months with this
subject, but the technique backfired. While there was no way for an
enemy to expose Jones' dual personality, they suspected it, and played
the same trick on us later. Now the only question becomes 'is Estabrooks
some sort of kook'? Maybe he didn't really do this, maybe he's
grandiose, or delusional, or just bullshitting, or whatever. So let's
take a look at who G.H. Estabrooks is. How are we going to do that? We
are going to talk to a JFK assassination researcher who tells us that
Estabrooks' personal papers are all at Colgate College in Hamilton in
Upper State New York-that there's a whole bunch of boxfulls of all his
personal papers, his correspondence, his files, and so on. So what we
will do is send our secretary up there for five days to go through those
17 boxes which are un-indexed, un-researched and unpublished in any form
and then we will request a bunch of that material to be photocopied and
we will bring it back to our office in Richardson, Texas -- we will look
at it, and then we will talk about it in Orange County, California later
on. What we find is G.H. Estabrooks was born in Newfoundland in
Canada-so he is already suspect because he is Canadian. He is not really
too dumb, he's a Rhodes Scholar. He ends up studying, I am pretty sure,
under Gardner Murphy at Harvard, takes a Ph.D. and spends really his
entire adult professional career at this obscure Colgate College in
Upper State New York. So is he just an isolated kook, or is he connected
in any way? Well as I am going through all this military mind control
research in the library, I am aware that Martin Orne, who we will get to
in a while, is one of the people I want to focus in on. And I notice in
one of Martin Orne's papers that he has referenced G.H. Estabrooks' 1942
textbook, which I have read, where he describes creating Manchurian
candidates for the military, so I know that Martin Orne is aware of G.H.
Estabrooks' claim to have created MPD. Can I establish any better
connection than that? Well lo and behold I find that G.H. Estabrooks
edited a book to which Martin Orne contributed a chapter. So now, Martin
Orne is totally connected into the whole picture as you will see later,
but if you go to a couple of pages ahead of that material which I just
read, you will see a letter from G.H. Estabrooks dated August 22, 1961:
"Dear Martin, I am sending to thee a special delivery, one halo - pure
gold, one pair of wings which you can try on for size, and a credit card
for use in the hereafter. Your article is, of course, excellent. Upon
receipt of your letter, I immediately called Mittendorff, and he
informed me before I could even broach the subject that they would of
course grant your request for reprints. Some day I am going to have
myself examined and find out why I do not consider these matters before
I embarrass my friends. By the way, I will be at the APA meetings on
Friday and Saturday, September 1st and 2nd, then I will have to whip
back here and head south. If at all possible, I will be up at the
Biltmore. If you and Ron (which is Ron Shore?) are anywhere in the
vicinity, let us sit down and yack at each other. I am not overlooking
the fact that our meeting at Cambridge with yourself and Ron sort of
crystallized an idea in my mind. I had a wonderful month's vacation in
Canada - Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec City, Murray Basin(?)sp, St. John,
N.B., and home - and we particularly liked the French country. My wife's
native language is French, although she speaks Italian, English and
German as well. I find that with her along, the red carpet is literally
rolled out and we see corners of the back country where they would set
the dogs on me if I happened to turn up alone. Thank you tremendously.
Hope to see you at the APA. My best regards to Ron." So it seems these
guys knew each other.

Now if you turn over to the next page, Colgate University Symposium on
Hypnosis, April 1 and 2, 1960 in Hamilton, New York, opening address by
G.H. Estabrooks, Chairman. The papers are E. R. Hilgard, author of the
NeoDissociation Book which is a foundation of the entire field here,
member of the DSM IV Dissociative Disorders Committee, Ron Shore,
frequent co-author with Martin Orne, Gorton (I don't know), C.M.R.
Fisher, I have seen his name going through different stuff, Wolberg, I
have seen his name around, the behavioural guy I think, Martin Orne,
G.H. Estabrooks, Oh who's that guy? Oh, Milton Erickson? Yeah, I've
heard of him. So ... this G.H. Estabrooks is not just some isolated
kook. He is a pretty connected in, well-known guy and all the luminaries
in hypnosis in this part of the 20th century know him personally, are
corresponding with him on a friendly basis and are coming to workshops
he put on and publishing books he has edited. So much for the isolated
kook theory. Well, maybe he was just kind of bragging a bit, and he
wasn't really connected to the military. Well. Bad news. A couple of
pages back, you see on stationery of the War Department, Office of the
Secretary, Washington, D.C., dated February 20, 1942 the name of George
H. Estabrooks, Nature of Action, Accepted Appointment. Expert Consultant
to the Secretary of War without other compensation with the payment of
actual transportation expenses and not to exceed $10 per diem in lieu of
subsistence and other expenses. So he definitely had a Military
Intelligence appointment in the Second World War. Turn over the next
page. Now we've got Navy Department, Naval Research Laboratory,
Washington, D.C. From the Director of Naval Research Laboratory to
Professor G.H. Estabrooks via Inspector of Naval Materials, Syracuse,
New York. Subject: Information on Military Uses of Hypnosis; Request
for: enclosed three copies of receipt for classified matter and return
addressed envelope. "The Naval Research Laboratory has received a
request for information regarding the possible military uses of
hypnosis. This request comes from a Naval Officer who is primarily
interested in hypnosis as a possible facilitator of training, but also
wishes to know about any other uses which may have been tested. Members
of the Psychology Branch of this Laboratory have discussed the matter
informally with several psychologists versed in hypnosis, including Dr.
Robert White of Harvard University. (Ross: which is where Martin Orne
did his residency.) Dr. White thought that you had done some
experimental work on a person during the war and requested that the
Naval Research Laboratory communicate with you. If you have done any
work along this line, would you please let us know the purpose and
results of your investigations. We have been unable to find any mention
of such a project in the Washington files of the Armed Services, and so
we must trouble you directly for information. Thank you for your
consideration at this enquiry." So we know that we've got very secret
documents which are not readily available to the usual classified
Military personnel looking through their own filing system. So we know
he's not an isolated kook. We know he had a Military appointment. We
know he's connected in with all the major hypnotists and we know that
he's claiming from 1943 through 1971 to have created Manchurian
candidates successfully for operational use during WWII. Is there any
other correspondence that might bear on the reality of his claims? Well,
there's a whole bunch of correspondence back and forth spanning the
1930's to the 1960's (that is, spanning four decades) between him and
some guy called J. Edgar Hoover. So you'll see on Federal Bureau of
Investigation stationery, July 12, 1939: "Dear Dr. Estabrooks: Permit me
to acknowledge receipt of your letters of June 19th and 27th and July
6th, 1939. I read with great interest the hypothesis which you put
forward concerning the sinking of submarines. I realize of course (Ross:
and this was the Military use of hypnosis scheme for sinking submarines)
that you are only suggesting things that could conceivably happen upon
the basis of your experiments and the experiments of others and you are
not suggesting that such a situation actually did occur in any of the
recent submarine disasters." 1962: "Dear Dr. Estabrooks: Your letter of
February 27th with enclosures has been received, and it was good of you
to advise me of the Symposium you have scheduled. I appreciate your
inviting us to participate; however the pressure of official business
will not permit me to designate a representative to attend." Now, in
between those two letters, there is massive correspondence back and
forth between J. Edgar Hoover and Estabrooks. There are visits of FBI
personnel to Estabrooks. There are many Military and FBI psychological
warfare personnel attending various workshops and symposia of
Estabrooks, and there is overt discussion of offensive uses of hypnosis
in clandestine operations. So, from this, I conclude that probably G.H.
Estabrooks actually did create MPD in World War II and that an awful lot
of people knew about it. Well maybe it was just G.H. Estabrooks and that
was the end of the story. We have to have some other body of evidence
that indicates that this continued beyond World War II. And this is
material that is not in your packet, that's from Operation Artichoke and
Bluebird, CIA Mind Control research from 1951-53. I am going to read you
some Artichoke and Bluebird documents that were obtained through the
Freedom of Information Act. A lot of stuff is whited out, so I will just
say blank whenever it is necessary to do so. To the Files. On 6th April,
1954, Tuesday, SI&H (Ross: I haven't figured out what SI is, H is
hypnosis) Experimentation and Research was carried on in Building 13
with the following subjects present: Mrs. __ , in addition to Misses
______. ______ attended in a consultant capacity. (Ross: one of these
Misses was age 19 according to the document). The session opened with
slow induction for all hands, and then a subsequent induction for Miss
____ to enable her to reconstruct a strange dream she had had the
previous week. This was successful, although in the wake state she could
remember no details. The major experiment of this evening was then
conducted as follows. Miss ____ was taken to Room 23 under full hypnosis
and she was instructed by the writer that she would find a secret
document in or on Mr. X at desk in his room. She was told that she was
to conceal this document next to her person and then she was to return
to Room 21, Operations Room, pour herself a drink of water which she
would find on a bookcase, and then stretch out on the sofa, face down
and go into a deep sleep. She was instructed she would not awaken under
any circumstances. She was told she would only awaken if somebody
whispered to her a specific code word and would recall nothing except
sleeping on the couch. Miss ____ performed the entire test in exact as
detail outlined above and had no subsequent memory whatsoever of any of
this activity. During the experiment Miss ____ was taken to the same
room and she was told that a person whom she had never seen had taken a
secret document from the Agency. She was told that this person or
suspected person had been given a drug and was unconscious on the sofa
in Room 21. She was told she was to enter the room and find the document
which would probably be on the person on the sofa. She was given
specific instructions that she must locate the document. She was told
that if she found the document, she was to conceal it on her person and
return to Room 23, sit in the chair, and go at once into a deep sleep.
She was further told that she would have no memory other than falling
asleep. Miss ____ complied in specific detail and immediately discovered
the document in ____'s sweater sleeve. Miss ____ concealed the document
on her person, returned to Room 23 and at once went into a deep sleep.
Subsequently she was brought back into the Operations Room and she and
_____ were awakened. The experiment was carried off successfully,
particularly by _______ with entire amnesia of the work, and cannot even
recall it under hypnosis. ____ however was able to remember a certain
part, though some of her details seemed vague." Here's another separate
Artichoke document. "3. Agents might be given cover stories under
hypnosis and not only learn them faultlessly, but believe them. Every
detail could be made to sink in. The conviction and apparent sincerity
with which an individual will defend a false identity given as
post-hypnotic suggestion is almost unbelievable. One's memory for detail
under such conditions appears to be boundless. Analogous Case #3. A CIA
Security Office employee was hypnotized and given a false identity. She
defended it hotly, denying her true name and rationalizing with
conviction the possession of identity cards made out to her real self.
Later, having had the false identity erased by suggestion, she was asked
if she had ever heard of the name she had been defending as her own five
minutes before. She thought and shook her head and said, 'That's a
pseudo if I ever heard one.' Apparently she had a true amnesia for the
entire episode." "4. Hypnosis would make the recruitment and handling of
high level political action agents, in particular under ideal control.
Convictions could be reinforced, political courses suggested,
appointments influenced, and with a really good subject only the
imagination and skill of the handling operator and the inherent
limitations of hypnosis as a technique would limit the possibilities.
Double agents could be both discovered and used with a much higher
degree of assurance if hypnotic control sufficient to permit regression
were operative. They could be given suggestions which would have the
force of true compulsions to tell if approach was made, targets,
briefing, true identity, etc. There is also the possibility that such
persons could be used under control much stronger than any we now
possess." So that's experimental use. It's clearly creation of
Manchurian candidates, there is no question whatsoever. This is now in
operational use in the United States. This is not Manchurian candidates,
but it's the use of sodium amytal and hypnosis for the creation of
amnesia barriers and deliberate insertion of false memories. "To
Director of Security Via Deputy Director of Security Via Chief Security
Research Staff from _____. Subject: Report of Artichoke Operations 20-23
January 1955. Between Thursday 20 January and Sunday 23 January 1955,
the Security Office Artichoke Team conducted a special operations _____.
In the opinion of Team Members, in this case Officers of the _____, the
Artichoke operation was successful. Details follow. It should be noted
at this point that because these operations were the first Artichoke
Operations undertaken in the USA, which is a violation of the CIA's
Charter, the full names of those participating are omitted from this
report and will not be revealed without consent of the Security Office.
First names, titles, or pseudonyms will be used throughout this report.
In view of the highly sensitive nature of the Artichoke techniques and
in view of the fact that this was the first Artichoke operation carried
out in the USA, the operation was conducted _______. This Safe House is
far removed from surrounding neighbours, it is a large tract of land,
and is thoroughly isolated. A limited, and security-cleared household
staff maintain functions of the House and ____ by unwitting ______
Actual Artichoke operations as usual were carried out in a special area
on the second floor of the House, and neither the household staff nor
the _____ were permitted in the area during any of the processing. SSD
Division furnished one security officer during the entire period of the
operation to act as special guard and to handle any unusual situations
which arose during the operation. This guard is hereinafter referred to
as ____ in this report. For a matter of record, it should be noted that
the subject was not a confinement problem, and has been at all times
fully cooperative. Guard detail was not present in connection with the
subject, except in a general sense. Technical matters in the case were
handled entirely by the TBPSD under the personal supervision of _____.
Full tape recordings were made of the entire case, and tapes are to be
turned over to the participating Division in the immediate future. It
should be noted that during this particular operation, a special device
was used in conjunction with the recording. This device, which is easily
concealable, worked with remarkable efficiency and at no time during the
entire recording was there any break due to technical failure. It should
al so be noted that a complex two-way transmitting/receiving unit was
again used in this Artichoke operation. Cover for the actual operation
followed standard procedure. The subject was informed in general terms
that before being sent for further work it was necessary that certain
tests be made on him physically and psychologically as well as his.
Hence a complete physical and psychological/psychiatric examination was
acquired. Subject readily accepted this medical cover and the Artichoke
technique was introduced easily and with the full consent of the
subject. The Case: Prior to the commencement of the actual Artichoke
operation, a number of conferences had been held with the various
participating personnel involved. All hands had been briefed and
procedures had been worked out. A general time schedule was prepared and
operating instructions for Artichoke were issued. On the afternoon of
the 20th of January the subject and _______ They were met by ________ of
the interested Division. Under a covert car subject was taken to the
_____, arriving there at approximately 9:30 pm. Prior to this, that is
during the day of 20th of January, the technical equipment had been
checked out and installed, and _____ had arrived at the covert area at
approximately 8 pm for operational purposes. By previous arrangement the
_____ was picked up by _____ at approximately 9:30 pm. _____ was brought
to the Safe House at 10:50 pm. Shortly after the arrival of ____, a
preliminary conference began at approximately 11:10 pm with the subject.

Interrogation lasted until 12:25 am when all except the subject ____
left the Operations Room. Tape recording was cut off at this time. As a
result of this interview _____ stated that subject's mental and physical
condition was good and noted that the pulse (Ross: which is actually the
blood pressure) at 12:25 am was 120/80 (Ross: so these guys are not
total wizards). The doctor also commented he had noticed an increased
amount of talk after a drink of whiskey and although there was some
nervousness present, it was not excessive. _____ stated he had given
subject two grams of anibarbitol to the subject to assist him to sleep
and it was later confirmed the subject had taken this prior to going to
sleep. (Ross: a half a paragraph is whited out.) Because of the
successful penetration and because of the extremely high quality of
information which the subject was obtaining, the case is regarded as
most sensitive and important by the participating Division. Since the
subject's information had be en checked and cross-checked many times by
the Operating Division's Case Officers, and the Division was of the
uniform opinion that the subject was fully legitimate and fully
cooperating with our efforts; they however desired Artichoke to give
added assurance to the subject's story and to help them determine
absolute suitability for further use of the subject in his work. For the
record, it should be noted that no polygraph techniques had been applied
in this case, since a physical examination by _____ apparently a cleared
physician had indicated too much nervousness for successful polygraph
testing. Following established patterns using medical cover as explained
above, the ____ began a physical and psychological examination at 10 am
on the morning of Friday 21 January. This examination continued until l
pm when an hour was taken for lunch. At 2 pm _____ again continued the
general examination of the subject with _____ being used, as before
lunch, as interpreter. This examination lasted until 3 pm when the ____
concluded the first medical session and a portable polygraph was taken
in by ____ for the purpose of polygraph testing. (Ross: there's a bunch
of blanked out stuff.) On Saturday 22 January 1955 subject had breakfast
with ____. At 9:35 am ____ arrived at the Safe House and at 9:45 am ____
arrived. At 10:35 am the subject again, with ____ acting as interpreter,
was examined briefly by Dr. ______. At 10:50 am _____ left the
operations area and began polygraph testing. This examination lasted
until 12:37 pm when it was concluded. (Ross: then it goes on ... I'll
skip a little bit.) Subject was taken into the Special Operations Room
with only the ____ present and at 2:36 pm the first intravenous infusion
began. Slow injections were continued until 2:46 pm when the ____
signaled that the subject was fully affected by the chemicals and at
this time special recording and transmitting equipment was brought into
the Operations Room. Also at this time ____ left the room and ____
entered. From this point until approximately 4:15 pm when the
interrogations ended, Artichoke techniques were applied. These
techniques, which followed a previously agreed-upon plan, were in three
stages: (Ross: this is now deliberate implantation of false memories.)
A. A fantasy which ______. Results during this phase were good and
subject had no control. Time approximately 15-20 minutes. B. A fantasy
in which _____. Results were again very good. Time approximately 40-45
minutes. C. Following development of the fantasies as noted above, the
subject was more or less directly interrogated by _____, and ____
introduced as _____. Results only fair, although subject had little
control. Time approximately 15 minutes. Immediately following the
conclusion of the Artichoke treatments, a general conference was held
with all hands present. It was agreed at this time that further
Artichoke treatments were unnecessary, that results were as conclusive
.. that in view of the subject's importance, additional work with
chemicals or with the H technique might possibly antagonize the subject,
hence would be unwarranted and unwise. Following the conclusion of the
general discussion all technical apparatus was removed from the
premises, and all participating personnel with the exception of _____
left the area after the ____ had checked the subject. On Sunday 23
January between approximately twelve noon and l:30 pm, the _____
returned to the Safe House and again re-examined the physical and mental
condition of the subject. At this time the subject reported he had slept
fairly well but he had a persistent headache. The _____ pointed out that
the headache was a natural consequence of the "examination" and it would
gradually disappear. In addition the ____ wrote a prescription which was
to be picked up in another name for future use by the subject as a
general sedative. At 1:50 pm approximately _____ left the Safe House and
the subject was turned over for handling to Case Officers of his
participating Division. CONCLUSIONS: In the opinion of the Artichoke
Team the operation was profitable and successful. In this case the
subject was aware that he had been given certain types of solutions but
as to what he had been given or amounts given, he had no knowledge.
Checks were made by ___ and later ____ and apparently indicated that the
subject, although not having specific amnesia for the Artichoke
treatment, nevertheless was completely confused and his memory was vague
and faulty. This vagueness and failure of memory was intensified by the
_____ explanation that the subject had been dreaming an opinion which it
appeared the subject shared in part." Ross: So that's obviously
operational use of sophisticated mind control amnesia inducing and false
memory implanting techniques in the USA in the 1950's by the CIA. It's
part of a broad program of mind control research, experimentation and
operational use which included the creation of Manchurian Candidates. So
this is why I say that I conclude that it's an established fact that the
CIA and the military have been creating Manchurian Candidates for
operational use since World War II at least into the 1950's, and that
it's not plausible denial in my mind to claim that it all stopped in
1973. How did this whole network get constructed, and how does it work
and how is it supported? We are going to take several steps beyond
Oliver Stone in terms of level of conspiracy theory, but that's not the
point of the talk. The conspiracy theory is interesting to get into, but
what I actually believe is that there isn't a conspiracy. I think that
the Intelligence Community itself is a polyfragmented entity with
Dissociative Identity Disorder, and that there is no single Executive
Host Function. There is no little where everybody has it all planned out
and under control. That it works sort of as Neural Network with no
Executive Host Function, and that these Old Boys talk to these Old Boys
who know this, who don't know this, know that, it's this kind of Network
Model and that's what you see on the slide. And all these slides are
going to look like this. I am going to walk you now through all these
interconnections in this Network as I said all of which are documented,
and tell you about some of the history, and talk about some of the
ethical problems that arise. As a matter of general background now, this
slide is called "Funding Fronts for CIA Mind Control Research". MKULTRA,
you have already seen, was from 1953 to 1963. The major funding fronts
for MKULTRA were the Human Ecology Foundation that Carl Rogers was on
the Board of; the Josiah Macey Jr. Foundation, and the Geshickter Fund.
Charles Geshickter was one of the MKULTRA contractors himself. So what
happened was the CIA would have its budget who would pop money over to
the Human Ecology Foundation ... HEF would put out a call for grants and
people would then submit applications. So it looks like a normal funding
foundation, and some people were unwitting and just thought they were
applying for a grant, and other people knew perfectly well there was a
front, the technical terms for these kinds of funds was a "Cutout". HEF,
Josiah Macey Jr. and Geshickter were CIA cutouts. This Geshickter Fund
was interesting. One of the MKULTRA projects that they funded was the
construction of the Gorman Annex at the George Washington University
Hospital in Washington, D.C. You have to remember that the military and
the CIA are federal bureaucracies. You anticipate the behaviour of
federal bureaucracies in general when you are looking into their history
and operations. So what they did was through MKULTRA they funded to
Geshickter who then funded out to the contractor money to build the
Gorman Annex as an addition to the hospital. Since this was money coming
from a private foundation, it generated matching funds from another
sector of the federal government. So the CIA got to double its budget by
sucking its money out of unwitting civilian areas of the federal purse.
What was the Gorman Annex for? It was for mind control experimentation
on terminal cancer patients. Three career officers, CIA biochemists,
were employed at the Gorman Annex under full cover. This is not
completely above board and ethical behaviour. So Carl Rogers who is on
the board of the Human Ecology Foundation is himself an MKULTRA
contractor and his specific projects have got this MKULTRA grant
application ... I've got him on the Board of the HEF, I've got the
description of his project that was funded through MKULTRA, and I've got
the publication flowing from the project that exactly matches the grant
application, and in the published paper, he acknowledges funding from
the Human Ecology Foundation. So it's a completely documented closed loop.

Josiah Macey Jr. Foundation. Who was on the Board? An interesting fellow
named Daniel X. Friedman. Daniel X. Friedman was the Editor of the
Archives of the Journal of Psychiatry from 1970 until his death in 1993.
The Archives of the Journal of Psychiatry is the most referenced
psychiatric journal in the world, by far. In other words, if you do
citation index searches of references of published psychiatry papers,
that is it's an indexing of all the published papers in all the
psychiatry journals in the world (the number of references to articles
published in the Journal of Psychiatry is 7x the number of the next
psychiatry journal in the world. So this "the" number one great big
place to publish. It is very biomedical reductionist and it's virtually
impossible to get a dissociative paper published in there. So these
people, like Daniel Friedman, who are in network, are incredibly
influential, powerful, controlling people in terms of the history of
psychiatry, what gets funded, what gets reviewed, what gets published,
who gets appointments, etc etc etc. It's all part of a very powerful
tight structured network. MKULTRA connects itself up to Allen Dulles
which connects us back to Human Ecology over to Harold Wolff and back to
Allen Dulles. How does that work? Allen Dulles was the Director of the
CIA from 1953 to 1961. He has the longest-running tenure as
DCIA-Director of Central Intelligency Agency. In World War II he was
employed by the OSS - Offices of Strategic Services - which is the
pre-cursor of the CIA which was run by a guy called Wild Bill Donovan.
He was stationed in Switzerland and was heavily involved in, obviously
since the enemy was the Germans and the allies were the Russians, in the
War he was supposed to be working with the Russians against the Germans
which he did. However, when you read the history of the OSS in World War
II, in the last years of the War, the Cold War was already being
deliberately planned out and set up by the Intelligence Agencies, and it
was already apparent to the Intelligence Agencies that things were going
to flip - that Germany would become the Allies an d Russia would become
the enemy. There was an awful lot of jockeying about whether the Germans
were going to surrender in North Italy before the Russians got to
Yugoslavia - so there were now negotiations with the Germans - because
if they agreed to surrender early - before the Russians got there - then
there would be such-and-such a payoff which would secure the area for
the Allies so they wouldn't be taken over by the Russians. There was all
this jockeying going on, all this intrigue, communications between the
OSS and some of Hitler's generals. The arch-enemy spymaster, who Allen
Dulles was fighting against was Reinhard Gehlen who was head of German
Intelligence in the Eastern Front, which means Russia. At the end of
World War II, Allen Dulles recruited Reinhard Gehlen to become the Head
of that Division of the CIA's operations against Russia. This is a
totally established fact. Harold Wolff who was the Head of the Human
Ecology Foundation, was a neurologist at Cornell. When Allen Dulles' son
received a head wound in the Korean War, he was brought back to the USA
and treated by Harold Wolff. You start to get a feel for why I call this
an Old Boys' Network. Let's come down here to MKULTRA-we're over at
hallucinogens. A lot of MKULTRA subprojects had to with funding LSD and
other hallucinogens. A person who did a lot of hallucinogen research and
published a lot of hallucinogen research was Daniel Friedman.
Hallucinogen research also connects us down to Loretta Bender. Loretta
Bender is the much-revered author of "The Bender Gestalt". Now look at
these three names: Loretta Bender, Paul Hawk and Ewen Cameron. You will
see that each of these names (they are all supposed to connect to the
American Journal of Psychiatry obituaries). Ewen Cameron, Paul Hawk and
Loretta had their obituaries in the American Journal of Psychiatry. So
these are revered people, who are being honoured posthumously by the
flagship Journal of the American Psychiatric Association. It's actually
Stella Chess who writes the obituary for Loretta Bender, very glowing,
what a wonderful contributor to child psychiatry, what a pioneer ...
well, sh e forgot to mention in the obituary - in a publication that I
have in my Loretta Bender file that I got from a medical school library
- Loretta Bender describes giving 150 mcg per day to children ages 7-11
years for days, weeks, months and in some cases, even years in a row.
This would not get through an Ethics Committee. This is discussed at a
CIA sponsored symposium on LSD. Paul Hawk, anybody ever hear of a
disorder called Borderline Personality Disorder? Hawk and Pollett(sp) in
1949 Psychiatric Quarterly, Pseudo Neurotic Forms of Schizophrenia -
these people are on the borderline between neurosis and schizophrenia -
we call it pseudoneurotic schizophrenia because they are on the
borderline. It's one of the reasons why the word "borderline" caught on.

Well he did hallucinogen research in New York for the military, and it
had one unfortunate side effect - he killed Harold Blauer(sp) a tennis
pro, in 1953, with an injection of Army mescaline and the family was
eventually compensated for that. He's big-time connected into all the
hallucinogen research by the military, CIA, and he's at many different
CIA-sponsored conferences. Ewen Cameron, former Head of the Quebec
Psychiatric Association, the Canadian Psychiatric Association, the
American Psychiatric Association, the World Psychiatric Association - in
fact, the founder of the World Psychiatric Association - and also
one-time President of the Association for Biological Psychiatry. As
politically connected a guy as ever existed in the entire field of
psychiatry in the 20th Century, with his obituary in the American
Journal of Psychiatry, funded through MKULTRA and Human Ecology
Foundation, did LSD and other hallucinogen research funded by Canadian
military and the CIA and was successfully sued (he had already died) -
the CIA settled out of court actually - it wasn't a successful suit
technically - with eight of his patients who had been victims of
experimentation that was first funded directly by the CIA through the
Human Ecology Foundation and then through the Canadian government. One
of his papers, published in the American Journal of Psychiatry is on
Psychic Driving, another is on Production of Differential Amnesia in
Schizophrenia. I interviewed a woman named Linda McDonald, who is
identified in public, this is not a problem with violation of her
confidentiality, and I have a release to talk about her and write about
her - she was 25 years old when she went to McGill to be treated for a
relatively mild post-partum depression. She turned 26 during her
hospitalization from March to early September, 1963. During the course
of her hospitalization, she received 102 ECT treatments, using the
Paige-Russell technique, in which the button is pushed 6x per treatment,
instead of 1x. She also received about 80 days of barbiturate and
neuroleptic induced sleep. During the course of her hospitalization -
now, I have not only her testimony I also have the actual medical
record, with all of the nursing notes documenting this and Ewen
Cameron's signature in the chart. So this is not rumour or patient
distortion this is the actual record. And this is work that has been
settled out of court by the CIA. She comes in a normal, somewhat
depressed person, who on my interview I would say she probably had DDNOS
before she was admitted - she gets regressed back to incontinent of
urine, incontinent of feces, totally disoriented, unable to state her
own name, year, where she is, recognize her children, recognize her
husband. She gradually comes out of this. At the time of discharge she
is sent home to live with her husband and children, resume normal sexual
relations with her husband - she doesn't know how to drive a car, read,
cook, use a toilet. Not only does she not know exactly what sex is all
about, and she's not exactly sure who her husband is, she doesn't know
what the concept of a husband is. She neuropsychologically pulls out of
this over months, and several months down the road, she's at the point
where a full time homemaker has taught her how to scramble eggs. She was
a fully competent housewife and mother before this. When her children go
out to play on the street, she is unable to remember 30 seconds later
where they are, so she puts a map of the neighbourhood up on the wall
and puts pins in the map to keep track of where her kids are playing.
Otherwise she goes into a panic and doesn't realize what's going on. By
about a year, she appears to have made a full neuropsychological
recovery, and when I interview her several years ago in Vancouver, she
appears to be neuropsychologically intact and to be suffering from no
active psychiatric disorder. The problem is that she can't remember
anything from the time she left the hospital back to birth. So this is
CIA and Canadian military research to totally wipe out somebody's
memory, which is very successful. In the published articles on psychic
driving and the creation of differential amnesia and schizophrenia, the
claim is that if you have somebody who has been delusional for the past
five years, and you give them this "regressive ECT" and regress them
down to total infantile incontinence and bring them back up, and while
you do that, you play a lot of tape loops (looped statements) over and
over and over, hundreds and hundreds of times a day ... they will come
back to their normal waking state, and they will have specific amnesia
for the time during which they have been delusional and for the
delusional material and their schizophrenia will then be cured. So this
is very careful, deliberate research to produce specific amnesias, and
total global amnesia. We would certainly want to honour that man in the
American Journal of Psychiatry. This is how the funding was set up.
Let's look at the network for both the creation of Manchurian Candidates
and the denial of the existence of Manchurian Candidates. How's that
structured? You would think it might be logical to have a disinformation
program in place. Like any complex system, it's sort of arbitrary where
you enter the system. Let's enter at MKULTRA which we saw is connected
to Bluebird and Artichoke - both of those are connected to the CIA. The
CIA is highly connected to the military intelligence structurally
(committees, cross-references, cooperation in many of these documented
mind control research projects). In the Senate Committee Hearings in the
1970's on MKULTRA, John Gittinger who was the head Ph.D. psychologist in
MKULTRA testified that the creation of Manchurian Candidates and the
movie, The Manchurian Candidate, which were referred to in his
testimony, were just fiction, that's ridiculous, and that had never been
done. But we see that MKULTRA, on which he was the lead psychologist,
was actually an administrative rollover from Bluebird and Artichoke-we
have just read material in which they are explicitly describing clear
creation of Manchurian Candidates so it's not possible that he didn't
know that. The options here are either he was so out of it that he
didn't realize that was Manchurian Candidates that were being created
there, or he was somehow administratively out of the loop and never even
looked at the Bluebird and Artichoke documents which is fairly
unbelievable, or it is deliberate disinformation. Let's go from the CIA
here over to military intelligence over to Estabrooks. We've got
Estabrooks actually creating Manchurian Candidates. So that's Manchurian
Candidate creation which goes back to Bluebird and Artichoke. We've got
that loop already discussed. Let's hop from CIA to Martin Orne. Well, we
saw in the original list of MKULTRA consultants that Martin Orne was
funded through that, and had top-secret clearance. When you look at
Martin Orne's C.V.-he lists in his C.V. numerous military intelligence
funding sources (virtually all branches of the military) and he, in his
publications, cites funding by Air Force, Army (I am pretty sure),
Office of Naval Research, and Human Ecology. A reliable source informed
me that he also consulted with the National Security Agency. He
basically has consulted with all branches of the military intelligence
and civilian intelligence network. He also has taken the position, since
at least 1984 in public, that MPD is almost al ways an iatrogenic
artifact . He has debated this vociferously at the APA annual from 1988
on, and has published a large discussion and commentary on this in the
International Journal of Clinical Experimental Hypnosis. His basic
position is that MPD is created by the therapist. Now why would Martin
Orne think this, and believe this, when he is totally connected into
military intelligence? He is one of the leading experts in hypnosis, he
is a friend and correspondent of and has been edited by and he
references G.H. Estabrooks who was also one of the leading hypnosis
experts at the same time, who was also tightly tied into military
intelligence-and Estabrooks knows those other people like Milton
Erickson and Hilgaard(sp) who are all totally interconnected by their
common work and references. Well, Martin Orne might believe that all the
civilian DID cases are actually iatrogenic DID because that is the
universe he has grown up in. He can't step outside his own knowledge of
the creation of Manchurian Candidates by the military to conceive of the
idea that it might arise naturalistically. So it is basically a project,
or lack of intellect. It can't be lack of intellect, because Martin Orne
does not lack intellect. The fact that he is too dumb to get it is
totally implausible because he's a very bright guy, so that explanation
we can rule out. And the other explanation is deliberate disinformation.
There is no way to discriminate between those hypotheses or test them
with the available data. So Martin Orne says that DID is iatrogenic. Oh,
what's this thing over here? FMSF - False Memory Syndrome Foundation.
Well, isn't this funny. Martin Orne is on the Scientific Advisory Board
of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation and the False Memory Syndrome
Foundation clearly promotes the idea that DID is either almost entirely
or 100% entirely an iatrogenic artifact. Where does that take us down
to? That takes us down to Manchurian Candidate Denial. That is done
specifically by Richard Ofshe, who is a Scientific Advisory Board member
of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation. In his book, "Making Monsters"
where he ridicules me as a CIA conspiracy nut who believes that the CIA
has been creating MPD (which in fact is a documented fact). Let's skip
back to here. We're at the CIA and we're at MKULTRA, we're missing
another connection here. It should go MKULTRA to Joly West, but ... the
CIA connects to Joly West because he was funded under MKULTRA to study
the psychobiology of dissociation. He will probably go down in history
as the only person to kill an elephant at Oklahoma City Zoo with LSD.
Well, Joly West is going to show up on a bunch of subsequent slides.
What we're looking at is two-dimensional slices of a three- or end
dimensional space. So you are going to see Joly West connect out to
here, and off the screen, and up and down and around the back of the
screen, and so on. One place that he connects if from here to here. Now,
where did Joly West start off in his professional career? He started off
as a Top Secret cleared guy for the Air Force who interviewed the
American pilots who came back from Korea having been captured and
brainwashed by the Communist Chinese.

These were people who were real good Americans, who were flying jets who
were shot down by the Communist enemy who went to prison as POW's and
came back as Communists. Have we ever heard of anything like this before
in our lives? This is the creation of a new identity and suppression of
the old identity and all its allegiances through mind control coercive
persuasion techniques. These American pilots were Manchurian Candidates
of a sort, without full amnesia for the previous identity. So they were
kind of a DDNOS level Manchurian Candidate as opposed to a full level
DID Manchurian Candidate, and Jolyn West was one of the guys who
interrogated them, understood them, wrote about them, and wrote about
how to arm future military personnel against such interrogation. Robert
Lifton also had Top Secret Clearance from the Air Force to interview
these downed American pilots, and there are several other people in the
group there, including Margaret Singer, who wrote the book, "Cults in
Our Midst" which I talked about as the foundation of the iatrogenic
pathway to DID. She had Top Secret Clearance to interview these pilots
as well. Margaret Singer publishes with Joly West, and Margaret Singer
publishes with Richard Ofshe, who is an expert on coercive mind control
and cult persuasion techniques. So that's real funny. Let's go from
Military Intelligence over to False Memory Syndrome Foundation. Who is
that guy? Oh ... it says Paul McHugh(sp). Who is Paul McHugh? He is the
guy who is Chairman of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins who says that 100% of
cases of DID are iatrogenic and says that all the DID Units should shut
down, and he is on the Advisory Board of the FMSF. He connects to DID as
iatrogenic, he connects to Johns Hopkins as the Chairman of Psychiatry.
He connects over to Walter Reed Hospital because when he was in the
military he did research connected to Walter Reed Hospital that is
listed in his c.v. which is a major site for military intelligence work,
and is directly connected into the mind control network. Now why do I
have Johns Hopkins connected to MKULTRA? Because a prior Chairman of
Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins named James Whitehorn was on the Advisory
Board of the Human Ecology Foundation. He had Top Secret Clearance and
was Witting. The Human Ecology Foundation was actually a funding front
for MKULTRA. So one of his immediate predecessors was directly in
network with Top Secret Clearance. The research in his c.v. - and I
haven't actually got the papers out and read it - that he did in the
military doesn't look like mind control research. But then the whole
question becomes, what are the hypotheses that account for his
behaviour? Here we have an apparently relatively bright guy who is the
Head of the Department at one of the leading medical schools in the
world, who just doesn't get it, he thinks that all DID is iatrogenic. Is
this because he is not smart enough? Doesn't seem to be a plausible
explanation. Well, is it because of some sort of peculiarity of his
personal experience in his psychology that we don't know about? Maybe.
Maybe it's disinformation. No way to know, no way to prove it one way or
another. But this is the network for the creation and the denial of the
creation of the Manchurian Candidate. It is a very funny little network.
Let's take a look, since we are all into FMSF here, let's take a look at
the relations between the Cult Awareness Network and the FMSF Scientific
Advisory Board. This is going to start taking us out beyond Oliver
Stone. Oliver Stone would say, no this is too much, I am not making a
movie about this. There's still hope that we could land at the X-Files though.

CAN means the Cult Awareness Network, CIA means the Central Intelligence
Agency, and FMSF means the False Memory Syndrome Foundation. Joly West
is on the Boards of CAN and FMSF and is connected to the CIA. Margaret
Singer is connected to Joly West and Richard Ofshe. Margaret Singer and
Joly West are on the Board of CAN and Richard Ofshe is on the Board of
FMSF. Joly West and Margaret Singer worked for Air Force Intelligence
talking to those downed American pilots who were actually DDNOS level
Manchurian Candidates. Leo Ryan, and we're going to hear a bunch about
Jonestown in a minute, is the Congressman who was killed at the airport
in Jonestown at the same time as the mass suicide there, which was not
actually a suicide. His daughter, Patricia Ryan, is very active in CAN
and recently received a Leo Ryan Award, so Leo Ryan connects to
Jonestown, Jonestown connects up to the CIA through that loop because
CAN is interested in destructive cults and coercive persuasion, and I am
going to show you on subsequent slides the connections between Jonestown
and the CIA. Jonestown connects down to obviously expertise in cult
coercive persuasion techniques. Jim Jones was a big expert. That takes
us back up to Joly West, Margaret Singer, Richard Ofshe, Air Force
Intelligence, the CIA. So all this interconnects here. Who is this guy
Robert Heath? Well, we are going to see him in a future slide too. My
secretary has actually interviewed him, and I might go down and
interview him myself at Tulane in New Orleans. He did brain electro
implant research for the CIA and he would put brain electrodes in human
brains for non-therapeutic purposes, and he would pour in
psyllicibin(sp), mescaline, LSD, and other chemicals to see what would
go tingle-tingle in the electrodes. And I will tell you more about that.
He's funded by the CIA and the military. In one of his papers, he thanks
Harold Lief for referring in one of his brain electrode implant research
subjects. Harold Lief is on the Advisory Board of the FMSF, and in fact,
was personal psychiatrist to the Freyd family. So all these guys know
each other. I'm just giving you kind of a sketch of how this thing is
constructed. Now let's take a step beyond Oliver Stone. This is the
connections between Jonestown and the CIA. This is based on references,
I think they are on the next slide. The centre of the slide refers to
talking about the CIA with its interests in mind control. Now according
to this book, "Was Jonestown a CIA Medical Experiment?" by Michael
Myers, according to him, Jonestown was a CIA medical experiment. It was
a mind control research site. So that seems preposterous and impossible
to believe. What data and circumstantial evidence add up to that
conclusion? Well, we know that Leo Ryan was connected to the CIA. How do
we know that? Well, let's take a look over here in our package. Here we
have a letter from the Deputy Director of the CIA dated 18 October 1978.
To Honorable Leo Ryan, House of Representatives, Washington, D.C.: "Dear
Mr. Ryan: Thank you for your letter of 27 September to Admiral Turner
requesting confirmation or denial of the fact that the CIA experiments
using prisoners at the California Medical Facility at Vacaville. MK
Search Site Principal Investigator, James Hamilton. It is true that CIA
sponsored tests involving volunteer inmates was conducted at that
facility. The project was completed in 1968. A report setting forth the
details of that testing has been released to the authorities at
Vacaville and to the public. It is enclosed for your information and
review ....... The research was related to learning enhancement using a
well known non-hallucinogen, magnesium pemaline (Ross: which is psiler
[sp] used for ADD). Your letter referred to Donald Defreeze known as
Cinque and Clifford Jefferson, both of whom were inmates at Vacaville.
Insofar as our reports reflect the names of the participants, there is
nothing to indicate that either was in any way involved in the project.
You may wish to cont act the authorities at Vacaville for further
information." So Leo Ryan was corresponding directly with the CIA about
some of its mind control research. He was also the father of pending
legislation, by which all CIA covert operations would be subject to
direct Congressional oversight from a budgetary point of view. {Ross: I
haven't got Charles Manson connected in. You have to go a long way out
there to get all these connections. Is Charles Manson in Vacaville? Oh,
I didn't know that's where he was. Okay, well I'm going to tell you a
bunch about Vacaville, so it's not surprising that he's at Vacaville.)
So Leo Ryan is really pestering the CIA to get all their covert
operations under direct funding oversight and budgetary control of
Congress. He is bugging the CIA about their mind control research. He
has found out that Donald Defreeze was at Vacaville at the same time it
was a research site, we are seeing another document saying that is
MKSearch and the investigator is James Hamilton, who had Top Secret
Clearance. Also Leo Ryan was involved in Jones town, because he was
killed at the airport. Well that's very funny. How does Leo Ryan connect
down to Patty Hearst? Patty Hearst was captured by the Symbionese
Liberation Army, which was headed by Donald Defreeze whose code name was
Cinque. She was found guilty. She was actually a Manchurian Candidate, a
DDNOS level Manchurian Candidate, who was captured, if you don't
remember the story, she was the daughter of William Randolph Hearst who
ran the San Francisco Chronicle who was running a whole lot of critical
articles about the People's Temple - Jim Jones' cult while it was still
in Ukiah, California. His daughter, Patty Hearst, who was a college
student, was captured by the SLA at gunpoint with submachine guns, kept
locked in a closet for 42 days, and subjected to very systematic
coercive, persuasive brainwashing and mind control techniques, until she
adopted a new identity named "Tanya" and lost all emotional
connectedness to her prior life and her parents. She participated in the
robbing of a bank and was found guilty. The Free Patty Hearst Movement
was headed by Leo Ryan, who was very active in getting clemency for her
from the President. How does Patty Hearst connect to Donald Defreeze?
Well, he captured her. How does Donald Defreeze connect to Vacaville?
Well he was at Vacaville as a prisoner. What is Vacaville? Well, let's
hop over here to Joly West. That will help us to figure it out. Joly
West was the expert witness in the trial for Patty Hearst. Who were the
expert witnesses called to explain to the jury that Patty Hearst was
actually a victim of coercive persuasion, mind control and brainwashing
... Joly West, Margaret Singer, Robert Lifton and Martin Orne. So what
did Joly West have to do with Vacaville? Joly West was Head of the UCLA
Violence Project which was approved by Ronald Reagan when he was
Governor of California, then shut down by public protest. It was
spearheaded by a number of people including some people who were very
interested in the history of CIA military mind control, and have written
books about it. Well the UCLA Violence Project you are going to see in
subsequent slides, but it included research and experimentation that was
going to be done at Vacaville Prison where they had the maxi-maxi which
is the maximum security place for the most freaked out behaviourally
disturbed psychotic psychologically difficult inmates in the California
prison system which included Donald Defreeze and Charles Manson we hear.
Who is Colston Westbrook? According to a book on the Phoenix program
which is the CIA's covert operation in the Vietnam War for killing 20 VC
infrastructure non-military personnel headed by William Colby, future
Director of the CIA. According to that book, Colston Westbrook was a CIA
Psy-War expert in Vietnam who came back to the USA to Vacaville Prison
under cover of the Black Cultural Association and used behavioural
modification techniques on Donald Defreeze and gave him his code name
Cinque, and devised the seven headed logo of the Symbionese Liberation
Army. Subsequent to this coercive persuasion work done on Donald
Defreeze by this Psy-War expert employed by the CIA in Vietnam. Donald
Defreeze was transferred to another location in the jail from which he
very easily escaped the next day only to go capture Patty Hearst and use
very systematic and sophisticated mind control techniques on her despite
the fact that he was a functionally illiterate black person off the
streets. It's a very expensive book, it costs over $100, published by
the Edwin Mellon Press, PO Box 450, Lewiston, N.Y. 14092 and then two
paperbacks which are published by Avon Books, both of which are owned by
the Hearst Corporation: Douglas Valentine, 1990, "The Phoenix Program",
N.Y. Avon Books and the specific reference is p. 337. "Patty Hearst: her
own story", Avon Books, N.Y. pp. 133-34. This is from "Jonestown: A CIA
Medical Experiment". This is some general background now. There is this
guy, James Frank, who won the 1925 Nobel Prize in Physics who came over
to be part of the Manhattan Project which created the atomic bomb. That
is sort of the precursor of the Paperclip Project, which we will get to
in future slides. He recruited Lawrence Layton into the Manhattan
Project so that's the connection between these people. Now we're going
to go to this Layton family. There's Hugo Phillip and Anita Lee
Howbwood(sp) married in Germany in 1914 and they moved to the USA. They
had two daughters, Eva and Lisa. Eva doesn't really fit into the story.
Eva worked for the CIA at Berkeley. The author of this "Jonestown: A CIA
Medical Experiment" got all this information from the public records by
just piecing it together, bit by bit by bit, and the documentation in
their references is pretty solid and convincing. Eva worked for the CIA
at Berkeley and her job at the library was to keep track of all the
left-wing literature taken out of the library and the names of the
people who took those books out and report that to the CIA. Berkeley's
got a lot of top-notch people ... such as Richard Ofshe. Lisa married
Lawrence Layton who was recruited for the Manhattan Project by James
Frank. He later worked at Dugway Proving Ground where radiation
experiments were done including release of radioactivity for wind
dispersal over civilian populations. He was an expert in dispersal of
biological and chemical weapons. That Dugway Proving Ground was also one
o f the sites where Army LSD research was conducted. This couple had
four children - Deborah who married Phil Blaikie, Lawrence Jr., Annalisa
and Thomas. These two are not so involved in the picture. Lawrence Jr.
was on-site at the People's Temple, Lisa was on-site at the People's
Temple in Jonestown in British Guyana, Deborah was on-site there and she
was the chief financial officer for the People's Temple operation. She
left Jonestown shortly before the mass suicide and went back to
Georgetown, the capital of British Guyana, accompanied by the CIA Chief
of Station for Georgetown. Phil Blaikie was an interesting guy with
international arms sales and British Intelligence background if I
remember right. This is where it really starts to get convincing and
amazing. We have all heard about Jonestown. We all know that Jim Jones
had this group of people and he was in Ukiah, California and then all of
a sudden he moved to the middle of the jungle in British Guyana. I
assume we all had the same sort of experience I had. You just sort of
take that at face value. Here's this nut. He moves down to the middle of
the jungle in British Guyana. But how did he ever choose this location?
Who scouted it out? What about the logistics of getting all the lumber,
all the oil drums, all the everything down to the middle of the jungle
in British Guyana? You have to build an airport, you have to transport
... this is a huge, huge project. Well, it turns out this wasn't just
jungle before the People's Temple arrived. It was the Shalom Project
from 1973 to 1975 and Phil Blaikie oversaw the engineering development
of the site in its transition from the Shalom Project to the People's
Temple. What was the Shalom Project? It was a CIA operation for training
black mercenary guerrillas for operations in Angola. This was a CIA
training site. This was not a random, unconnected site. That's just some
general background. We're going to pick up Jonestown as we walk along
here through these crystal clear slides. Okay, we heard part of the
story. Here's J. Edgar Hoover, he's corresponded with Estabrooks who was
creating Manchurian Candidates, Patty Hearst is a Manchurian Candidate,
her identity of Tanya is deliberately programmed in by Donald Defreeze
who is in Vacaville State Prison which was an MKSearch site which is
also a site for the UCLA Violence Project, Vacaville is a CIA research
site, Patty Hearst is connected down to Joly West who is her expert
witness in her trial who says in effect she is a Manchurian Candidate,
DDNOS level. He's the expert witness for Jack Ruby who is connected to
Lee Harvey Oswald. I went to one of the JFK Assassination meetings in
Dallas a couple of years ago where a guy presented a bunch of
information including a photocopy of a letter by J. Edgar Hoover dated
1960 expressing concern that Lee Harvey Oswald had been doubled. The FBI
was on top of Lee Harvey Oswald, was on top of him, and was tracking him
systemically well before the assassination. So that connect J. Edgar
Hoover over to Lee Harvey Oswald who is connected to Jack Ruby. How does
Wounded Knee get in there? Wounded Knee is an Indian uprising where the
FBI were shooting up the Sioux Indians. Russell Means was heavily
involved in that. What does Russell Means have to do with Jonestown?
Well, Jim Jones was a good PR guy. When Patty Hearst was kidnapped he
offered William Randolph Hearst a program to set up a
collection/donation of money to pay the ransom to the SLA. And the SLA
was demanding something like $170 million from Hearst for the release of
Patty Hearst. Jim Jones offered to set up this fund, but Hearst said no.
The next outcome was that the SLA also wanted food donated to poor
people that they said they were representing in a revolution. So a
committee was set up to do food distribution, financed by William
Randolph Hearst. According to this book, the way that food distribution
was done was Jim Jones got control of the mechanisms and he brought
people down from the People's Temple down to be the homeless and poor
people who received the food and the same food was distributed around
the network six times, constantly being picked up by new People's Temple
people, and taken back to the distribution point. So actually only
one-sixth as much food was purchased as it appeared, and the rest was
skimmed by the People's Temple. Russell Means was on the committee that
oversaw this operation and his wife was bailed out of jail in Oregon the
year before at a cost of $19,000 by Jim Jones. (Russell Means works for
Walt Disney - comment from conference audience.) So this arrow here
actually goes over to Mickey Mouse ...

We did Vacaville, MKSearch, that's all connected into Patty Hearst,
Donald Defreeze, we've got that part ... MKULTRA connected to UCLA. What
does MKULTRA have to do with that Sugi U2 base ... that's the U2 spy
plane. Well that's according to information from JFK assassination
researchers that I haven't independently confirmed, that was an MKULTRA
site, Lee Harvey Oswald was stationed there. U2 was the plane that Gary
Powers went down in. It was a spy plane that over-flew the Soviet Union.
It was also used for surveillance of Martin Luther King ... that's an
acknowledged fact. The FBI used U2 planes to keep track of him.
According to a book which is a little shaky in terms of its
documentation, the people who were consulted on the mental state of Gary
Powers, the pilot of the U2 that was downed included Ewen Cameron who
was an MKULTRA contractor who did the experimentation on Linda McDonald
who I told you about earlier. Ewen Cameron was also one of the people
who went over and interviewed the Nazi war criminals at Nuremburg to do
mental statuses on them. So the FBI is in there fairly tight. Let's just
talk about MKULTRA, MKSearch assassination connections. This is now out
and beyond Oliver Stone, and we're going to pick up JFK, a little bit of
Jonestown, a little bit of this and that here. So we've got MKSearch,
Carl Pfeiffer was a contractor for MKSearch and MKULTRA. One of the
sites he worked at is the New Jersey Reformatory at Bordentown which was
in some of those preliminary MKULTRA lists that I showed. In Walter
Bowart's book, "Operation Mind Control", he talks about Luis Castillo.
Luis Castillo was arrested by the FBI, the Phillippines equivalent of
the FBI, on suspicion of being there to assassinate Marcos. In 300 pages
of transcript of the interrogation of Luis Castillo by the Phillipines
FBI, that's in the possession of the JFK Assassination researcher who
told me where George Estabrooks' personal papers are, Luis Castillo
describes very clearly (and this is also described in Walter Bowart's
book) having MPD. So here's a potential assassin of Marcos who describes
undocumented MPD who was at the New Jersey Reformatory at Bordentown at
the same time it was an MKSearch hallucinogen site and an MKULTRA
hallucinogen site. We've got Lee Harvey Oswald who was at Sugi Air Force
Base which is apparently an MKULTRA research site who is connected to
Jack Ruby who is connected to Joly West who is an MKULTRA contractor who
is the expert witness for Patty Hearst whose Manchurian Candidate
identity "Tanya" was created by Donald Defreeze from Vacaville State
Prison which was an MKSearch site which takes us back to the New Jersey
Reformatory at Bordentown. This is all just random coincidence, as I am
sure you appreciate. How about JFK/CIA mind control research
connections? I might come back to Jonestown in more detail. I am just
trying to get through all these slides here. This is a very pretty
little diagram with CIA at the hub and we've got a wheel going all the
way around. There is a game that I saw in the newspaper called "Who was
in a movie with Kevin Bacon?" and the purpose of the game ... you can
name any Hollywood star and within six steps you can get from that
person to Kevin Bacon because this person was in a movie who was in a
movie with this person who was in a movie with Kevin Bacon. This is the
same logic here. We can start anywhere, we can connect Joly West to the
CIA. Neale Birch is a CIA Office of Naval Research mind control
consultant in Houston. Robert Heath is a CIA and military funded brain
electrode researcher at Tulane. Well let's just go through this random
assortment of individuals here. Robert Heath is doing brain electrode
implant and other research for the CIA in Tulane. He publishes a paper
with Bernie Saltzberg. Bernie Saltzberg publishes with Neale Birch who
is funded by the CIA and the military. Neale Birch publishes an edited
book - contributor of a chapter in that book is Joly West who describes
the UCLA Violence Project in that book edited by Neale Birch. Joly West
interviews Jack Ruby. Jack Ruby shoots Lee Harvey Oswald. Okay well
that's interesting. That's the end of the story. Except let's run back
around this way. Robert Heath publishes with Francisco Silva who is
still alive and I am going to try and interview him in Baton Rouge.
Francisco Silva is a Cuban psychiatrist who left in the random year of
1959 which is when Castro took over, to take up residence in Louisiana
and publish with Robert Heath who told my secretary that Francisco was a
very wonderful person. In the Warren Commission documents, there is
uncorroborated testimony by Lee Harvey Oswald that in 1963, prior to the
assassination, he lived with Francisco Silva and was temporarily
employed at the hospital where Francisco Silva worked. I am just sort of
playing mind games with you ... this is all just meaningless
coincidence. Project Paperclip and Mind Control Research - we heard
about Allen Dulles already, he was the Director of the CIA before George
Bush was the Director of the CIA, which in turn was before George Bush
was the President. Allen Dulles is head of the CIA during MKULTRA
program and obviously was aware of it and oversaw it. The CIA goes down
to this Reinhard Gehlen guy who is the German spymaster who is recruited
by Dulles to become our boy spying against the Russians, our enemies who
were previously were our friends. Reinhard Gehlen was in effect a Nazi
War Criminal. Reinhard Gehlen is in effect a Nazi War Criminal. Project
Paperclip is a fully documented - one of a group of projects including
Project National Interest, Project 63, Bloodstone - there is a bunch of
other projects but Paperclip is the best known one. There are several
books about it. Paperclip is a project set up by CIA and military
intelligence to bring Nazi war criminals into the USA through a
mechanism that routed them around the State Department. State Department
rules were that if you were a Nazi war criminal, you couldn't enter the
USA. But there was a mad scramble at the end of World War II involving
the USA, Canada, France, Britain, German and Russian governments who
were all scrambling to get their hands on German scientists. There were
all kinds of recruiting drives, etc. American teams would actually go
into the Russian sector and go to a place where German scientists were
being held, and sneak those guys out of there. It was quite an intense
little party that was going on. In Project Paperclip (this is totally
documented) all types of scientists were brought over to the USA. Film
experts, ball bearing experts, lubricants, rockets, every aspect of
science and technology of interest to the military. This is included
somewhat obscure people like Werner Von Braun. Werner Von Braun was head
of the rocket program. He was the guy who was in charge of the V2
rockets that were used to bomb Britain that were created for
Mittelwerk(sp) ... the labour for Mittelwerk was supplied from Camp
Dora(sp). When the American troops liberated Camp Dora they found 6000
corpses on the ground. It is estimated that about 20,000 people were
worked to death out of Camp Dora building the V2 rockets. Werner von
Braun is documented as being on site at the Mittelwerk at least 20
times, and being at meetings of V2 oversight personnel where the use of
prisoners being worked to death was discussed and condoned, and the
workers would sometimes attempt to sabotage the rockets by urinating a
part or tampering with the rocket. The typical response to that was that
the entire work crew would be instantly hung in their work tunnel. He
was also a member of the S.S. and there is correspondence on US Space
Program stationery to a journalist where Werner von Braun admits he was
an SS Officer. So he was a Nazi war criminal who couldn't be brought in
through a normal kind of visa process. Another person who was brought in
through Paperclip or another related project was Albertus
Stroekhold(sp). Albertus Stroekhold is regarded as the father of
aviation medicine. There is a library named after him at Lakland(sp) Air
Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. He was honoured by the Daughters of
the American Revolution for his contributions to Aviation Medicine and
the Texas State Legislature declared a one-time state memorial day named
after him in, I believe, the 1960's. Albertus Stroekhold was not a nice
person. People on his own administrative level, people who reported to
him and people he reported to were all tried and found guilty of war
crimes at Nuremburg. He was not even interviewed by the U.S. lawyers
responsible for that sector of Nuremburg. The types of experiments that
these people did included things like putting people in a pressure
chamber and dropping the pressure instantly to about 60,000 feet to
simulate somebody being blown out of a cockpit if they were a U.S. pilot
. What would happen is they would cause their faces to have excruciating
pain, they would actually die or almost die. The ones who died would be
taken out of the chamber, their heads would be cut open, their heads
would be submerged under water, their heads would then be sliced open to
determine whether there was air emboli in their cerebral arteries.
Another type of experiment done by these people was an attempt to find
an antidote to seawater so that downed German pilots in the North Sea
could drink seawater. So these people were given forced feedings of
seawater for days on end which then would be doctored with various
different substances to see if any of the substances would prevent any
of the subjects from dying. This is major full-scale Nazi war crime
doctor stuff, and probably over 1000 of these scientists were brought
under Project Paperclip. Nazi war criminals were examined by a team of
psychiatrists including Ewen Cameron who did LSD and mescaline research
and was an MKULTRA contractor. LSD and mescaline research was also
funded by MKULTRA and mescaline research was done by the Nazi war
criminals in the POW camps. So Ewen Cameron probably got the bright idea
of doing LSD research from the Nazi war criminals. According to this
book which is not really rock solid in its documentation, he was still
in network up in the early 1960's when the U2 pilot went down. So that
the only people who are missing from this fully, completely documented
history are the psychological warfare experts. It is not plausible that
the only kind of scientists out of the full range of expertise that were
not brought over were the psychological experts. A guy who was a
deep-ops character in Vietnam described being out in the field and
coming across US and VC personnel who were all totally wasted on some
sort of hallucinogen trip. Their job was simply to extract these guys
and leave the VC who were just completely out of it on the ground. He
told me which specific location in the USA would be the most likely
place to find some of these Paperclip psychological experts, so I am
going to pursue that. Let's just take a look at the brain electrode
implant research. Now let's say it's just not believable that the CIA
and the military have been creating Manchurian Candidates-it's just too
much like science fiction. Well, what do we know for a fact that they
have been doing? We know that they have been giving kids a few mcg. per
kg. big-time street doses of LSD days, weeks and months up to years in a
row. We know that they have been implanting non-therapeutic brain
electrodes in children as young as 11 years old on an experimental
basis, and we know they have been wiping out people's entire personal
histories with 100+ ECT treatments and massive sleep inductions through
drugs for no therapeutic reason whatsoever but we don't think they would
go as far as creating a Manchurian Candidate. So it doesn't add up. What
we know for an absolute documented fact is that they've gone way beyond
monkeying around with some amnesia barriers and new identities so what's
the story on b rain electrode implant research? Here's a name you might
recognize. Brain electrode implant research was funded by the CIA and
MKULTRA in conjunction with the Office of Naval Research. There is a lot
of joint funding of various projects by Office of Naval Research and the
CIA. The Office of Naval Research funded both Neale Birch and the CIA.
Neale Birch published that thing by Joly West. Joly West started the
UCLA Violence Project which was going to be at Vacaville which was where
Donald Defreeze was. He recruited a brain electrode implant psychiatrist
who was part of a brain electrode team at Harvard, Frank Ervin, to be
part of the UCLA Violence Project. He denies in his chapter in the book
edited by Neale Birch that there is any intention to do brain electrode
implant, but the available evidence suggests that actually in fact the
plan was to stick brain electrodes in some of these prisoners at
Vacaville and the concept was that you would use this for tracking of
their whereabouts and if they were off their circuit locations or there
was a certain kind of discharge from their brain, you could then
transmit a signal to them to arrest their behaviour so that they could
be picked up by the police. He is also funded by Army Intelligence. Army
Intelligence funded Neale Birch. Army Intelligence funded Robert Heath
at Tulane who did brain electrode implant research. We saw him on the
previous page. The Office of Naval Research funded Jose Delgado at Yale
who did brain electrode implant research. This is the guy to whom Harold
Lief sent a patient. His experiments include sticking electrodes in
brains, as I mentioned, and then pouring in different kinds of
hallucinogens in order to see the effect on perception and behaviour and
electrical activity in their brain. This guy, Jose Delgado, who is
tightly in network, who is famous for a videotape of a bull charging at
him then he pushes the transmitter box which sends a signal to the
electrodes implanted in the bull's brain, and the bull turns away. He
also has a series of papers which are in my Jose Delgado file where he
does this kind of research on cats and he refers to the cats in which he
has implanted brain electrodes that he is control ling by transmitter as
"mechanical toys". By loose association, this reminds me of a book
called "Man the Mechanical Misfit" written by George H. Estabrooks. He
also describes a technical innovation in an 11 year old boy who had
brain electrodes implanted for non therapeutic reasons. Previously you
had to have wires connecting the transmitter box directly to the
electrode terminals that were sticking through the skull. In this 11
year old boy, however, Jose Delgado had figured out how to have a remote
transmitter without a direct wire connection. He describes pushing a
button in this otherwise normal 11 year old boy's brain transmitter box
and the boy starts being confused about his identity, wondering whether
he is a girl and talking about wanting to marry Jose Delgado. He pushes
another button, and this behaviour stops. Another Delgado experiment is
a 16 year old girl who looks maybe like a mild borderline, pre-morbidly,
involves sticking these brain electrodes in and there is actually
pictures in the paper that you can photocopy when you go to the medical
school library, it's in a journal on the shelf-where in one picture
she's got this vacant stupid grin on her face, push another button on
the panel box and she is pounding the panel on the wall. So they are
showing actual photographs of markedly different behavioural
states-totally controlled by remote transmitter and brain electrode
implants. But these guys wouldn't be using hypnosis to create Manchurian
Candidates ...

Let's look at temporal lobe epilepsy and military mind control research
for a minute. Let's try and think about the history of MPD. What are
some of the bogus reasons that MPD is not real? One of the big arguments
is that it is really temporal lobe epilepsy. We know that temporal lobe
epilepsy has been used as one of the arms of Manchurian Candidate
denial. Here we have how that little network works. We've got Robert
Heath who is doing non- therapeutic brain electrode implants plus brain
electrode implants on temporal lobe epilepsy subjects. That's all funded
by military intelligence and the CIA. We've got temporal lobe epilepsy
as a phenomena. Frank Irvin (who was recruited by Joly West for the UCLA
Violence Project) and Mark Sweet write a book called "Violence and the
Brain" in which they describe doing brain electrode implants with people
with temporal lobe epilepsy. One of their subjects had a very unusual
form of temporal lobe epilepsy. He was driving a truck in Los Angeles
and came to in Phoenix. So actually these people were doing brain
electrode implants on multiples. Well, they could be alcoholics, but the
description (remember this guy drove a tuck from LA to Phoenix, that's a
little bit much for an alcoholic blackout) -- some of the other case
histories clearly sound dissociative in nature. But they are calling
them temporal lobe epilepsy just like Joly West said Jack Ruby had
temporal lobe epilepsy. There is this misinformation in the literature
that DID is actually due to temporal lobe epilepsy and there are nine
authors in a series of papers in the early to mid-1980's pumping this
DID is really temporal lobe epilepsy line. This shows you how this
research works because I haven't done this but the hypothesis is now
that these nine authors are somehow going to be in network. So the odds
are that the nine authors who published these papers saying that DID is
just temporal lobe epilepsy are going to be in network in this mind
control old boy network somehow. I just haven't researched that up.
Borderline personality disorder where multiples are really just
borderline is another back-up strategy, and how does borderline
personality disorder tie up with military mind control research? Well,
DID is iatrogenic, they are really just borderlines. Martin Orne says
that, Richard Ofshe says that, Martin Orne worked for MKULTRA which is
connected to MKNaomi, MKNaomi was also conducted at Edgeware Arsenal
where Amadeo Morazzi worked who did LSD research for the Air Force in
Minnesota funded by Air Force Intelligence. Robert Heath also did Air
Force research. LSD research was done by Nazi scientists and war
criminals. Nazi scientists and war criminals were imported into Edgeware
Arsenal frequently, and one of the people that I researched was Wagner
Joreg, who is apparently the son of the Wagner Joreg(sp) who won the
Nobel Prize for treating syphillis with malaria. I haven't researched
that up fully but he came up to Edgeware Arsenal and I have him
documented as being a German University Professor in the 1930's and
1940's showing up at Edgeware Arsenal and publishing research on
antidotes to chemical warfare weapons and saying that he regrets the
extremely long period of time in which it was impossible to publish his
research data. So he did this research at Edgeware Arsenal which
overlaps with the time that Amadeo Morazzi was there who did LSD
research at the University of Minnesota. Another person who did LSD
research is Paul Hawk who worked for the CIA, and is one of the
inventors of the term "borderline personality disorder". So this is a
little bit hokey this one. But it just shows you - the theme here is not
that there is a military intelligence conspiracy to cover up Manchurian
Candidate creation with the myth of borderline personality disorder. The
point now is a more of a global general metapoint which is this whole
network of old boys in psychiatry and psychology who were covertly
funded for part of the military and CIA intelligence mind control
network are very influential in the history of psychiatry in a kind of
nebulous fashion that just permeates the whole field. It isn't part of
the sort of one-to-one correspondences that I have been showing before.
It's a matter of the whole mindset of psychiatry - how we think about
borderlines, how we think about temporal lobe epilepsy, what are we
going to react to MPD like? Well we are going to react to MP D like -
it' a little bit more vague, a little bit more global, it's a little bit
more general - but the point is that the history of psychiatry in the
second half of the twentieth century is undoubtedly been strongly
skewed-not by an agenda that has to do with academic research, not by
the best interest of clients, not by ethical psychiatry, but by an
Intelligence agenda. My beef is not with the intelligence community or
the CIA. It's with the psychiatrists and the psychologists who created a
little loophole where they can step out of normal ethical oversight,
violate the Hippocratic Oath, get away with it, not talk about it, and
just like the conspiracy to keep incest under the carpet, this is all
conspired and kept under the carpet - not by twelve guys in a room at
Langley who are doing the planning, but just by this pervasive old boys
network that's keeping the mind control secret down just like it kept
the incest secret down. So that's another reason why this is important,
and needs to be uncovered. That's the end of the slides. Now I am going
to come back to Jonestown a little bit, and fill you in on Jonestown and
then I see I am way ahead of schedule which is fine because I have got a
lot more to tell you, and you can ask a whole bunch of questions, and we
can have a discussion. According to this Jonestown book - remember that
there's a connection between Patty Hearst's being kidnapped by Donald
Defreeze who is mind controlled by Colston Westbrook who is a CIA
psy-war expert and then there is the food relief program for the ransom
by Jim Jones who is being hassled by William Randolph Hearst newspaper
that ties into Russell Means being on the Board. Well according to a
person who survived the White Night at Jonestown, Patty Hearst's
boyfriend, Steven Weed, was onsite at the People's Temple at Ukiah,
California and observed talking to Jim Jones three months before the
kidnapping. If that is true, then that just blows the coincidence
conspiracy theory out of the water. It is too much not to be all
connected up. According to the book there is pretty solid documentation
to prove that Jim Jones was recruited by the CIA way back in the 1950's
and he was a coercive persuasion brainwashing expert who had some
Churches in Cincinatti then moved out to California. He specialize in
coercive persuasion on Blacks and Native Americans, almost all of the
people at Jonestown were not white except for the elite who survived and
he was on-site at two South American countries - I think Brazil and
British Guyana as a CIA undercover operative doing typical CIA
operations as part of government overthrow both by stirring up left wing
factions, stirring up labour, distributing leaflets and so on. So he was
actually part of standard CIA operations going way back to the 1950's.
The evidence in favour of it actually being a drug experiment is pretty
weak. He says there was Drug A, Drug B and placebo and the point of the
experiment was do either of the active drugs enhance the voluntary
completed suicide rate of the brainwashed subjects. But he doesn't
really provide any documentation to support that. He just sort of pulls
that out of nowhere. So that's not very plausible. Also he talks about
MKULTRA in a non-scholarly way because MKULTRA had already stopped. So
it wasn't technically an MKULTRA operation. There's a lot of elaborate
detail in the book. For instance Jim Jones visited Castro. There are a
lot of connections between the CIA being the site for Jonestown in
British Guyana before they went there and all kinds of visiting back and
forth from CIA stations in the capital of Guyana to the people staying
at the Temple. Like I said, one of those daughters in the Layton family
was escorted out of Jonestown just before White Night by the CIA station
chief. It just builds up like that. There are dozens and dozens and
dozens of these kind of documented pieces of information. There is a
whole bunch of stuff about people who were assassinated by the People's
Temple and a bunch of numerological and letter type codes about how
these people were selected and how their last names mirrored the method
by which they were killed. There is this whole kind of vast detail which
leaves me with the next conclusion that it is beyond coincidence.
Whether it is actually a medical experiment is not clearly established,
except the most compelling fact is the method of delivery of the drugs.
Every night every member of the Jonestown commune had to go to the
kitchen and eat one cookie in front of personnel. And he says the cookie
is where the drugs were delivered. I would say the next conclusion is
probably more than 50/50% likely that there was some sort of heavy CIA
involvement in Jonestown, whether or not it was a drug experiment. In
terms of how many people actually committed suicide, according to this
book, only a minority of people committed suicide, many were shot or
injected with cyanide. Only a minority actually drank it voluntarily.
And when you look at the configuration of bodies on the ground, these
are not people who just drank, died and fell on the ground-they are all
lined up in orderly rows. There's a whole deal of how one of the Layton
family members-her identity was switched with one of the other members
who had lung cancer and she was actually escorted off the grounds on the
grounds of having lung cancer. But there was somebody else who had lung
cancer, and there is substitution of bodies, there is a claim that the
guy who was identified as being Jim Jones was not actually Jim Jones. So
you have to read the book to get the whole wealth of detail. I would say
it is fairly compelling and persuasive. Which takes us back into how
come all these guys who are connected into network tend to be experts in
mind control, brainwashing, coercive persuasion, destructive cults? And
why is it that destructive cults appear to specialize in creating
Manchurian Candidates? You just keep going round and round this network
and the more you research into it- and this is only part way along the
journey-if you actually had a team of ten researchers-you would end up
with fifty of these slides with every (some of it speculative) but every
connection fully documented on fifty slides. Another curious twist on
this story is the history of LSD. One of the things that goes on is
there is always information and disinformation. One of the strategies
for disinformation is called a limited hang-out is when you let out a
little bit of the truth, then you go, "oh see we 'fessed up!" But
actually you only let out 3% and the purpose of the limited hang-out is
to cover up the rest. There's always a limited hang-out going on. Every
time a bunch of stuff is declassified that's only the tip of the
iceberg. If we take a look at the history of LSD, something that was not
taught to me when I was a psychiatry resident is who are the original
acid-heads? Could it have been, like, maybe, beatniks? Maybe Allen
Ginsburg. Could have been Ken Kesey, maybe. No the original acid-heads
in North America were the leading figures in psychiatry. The people who
imported LSD into North America were the CIA and the military. It didn't
get here through street or drug dealer routes. It got here through
official military CIA mind control mechanisms. The CIA at one time
actually considered buying up the world supply of LSD from Sandoz. Like
I said their alternative back-up was to contract with Elli Lily to
provide a secure supply of LSD. These guys were on acid-trips in the
first half of the 1950's. People who first got turned on to LSD as
subjects in military experiments included Gregory Bateson, Allen
Ginsburg, Ken Kesey, probably Timothy Leary. Gregory Bateson was married
to Margaret Mead who was funded in her anthropological work by the CIA.
There is a whole other dimension of this which is funding-this is a fact.

In...another story about anthropology ... a little glimpse of which we
capture from Raymond Prince who was funded under MKULTRA to go study the
Yoruba. This is called "Study of Mind Control Techniques by Witch
Doctors Around the World". Now, Raymond Prince's hypothesis is that
actually it is just a way to go undercover in a foreign country and get
better information about the culture and establish contact with possible
agents and recruits. But the CIA - as part of its proper operations in
the Cold War - has had to gather a tremendous amount of data on the
stability of various societies and countries which are likely to tip
over to Communism which involves sociology, economics, military analysis
and anthropology ... anthropology, languages, and linguistics are all
part of the operation. All these people who were the original acid-heads
are the psychiatrists, and the psychiatrists, when you read the LSD
sponsored symposia-the guy who is the archivist for the American College
of Psychiatrists, Sydney Mallett (sp) whom I plan to contact-the
American College of Psychiatrists is this old boys club in American
Psychiatry that I got into because I got a fellowship from them as a
resident -- (to audience: "No, I don't think it was CIA funded ...
unless Meade Johnson was functioning as a cutout ... the money
supposedly came from Meade Johnson"). That's the way the network works
... it's a joke ... but you never know ... so the guy who is the
archivist-historian in one of these CIA symposia in the early 1960's
talks about how he was turned on to LSD by Paul Hawk who was responsible
for the term "borderline personality disorder" and killed the tennis pro
with mescaline. All these guys are writing and talking about LSD as "the
hot thing" in psychotherapy. They are totally on board with it, and
usually they are talking about sub hallucinogenic doses ... like 60 mg,
75 mg as loosening up the ego and causing these amazing treatment
responses, like curing long-term alcoholism in a single LSD
psychotherapy session. They are all getting funded by it, they are
getting perked by it, they are going for trips, they are meeting their
buddies, they are going to conferences, they are getting published, they
are getting books edited-it's all just part of the whole program. Nobody
in psychiatry is saying "bad stuff, dangerous stuff, street drug,
protect the youth of America"-they are not talking like that.

All of a sudden, boom, it's a narcotic and it's outlawed by FDA. What is
the initial response of all these grey-haired fathers of psychiatry to
making LSD an illegal substance? Protest, it's a bad thing, it's robbing
us of a powerful psychotherapeutic agent, it's crippling our research
efforts. These guys were hung out to dry. They were used by Intelligence
Agencies to gather therapeutic use of LSD, interrogation use of LSD,
psychotomenitic (sp) use of LSD and then when they had done their job,
LSD was just canceled from academia. It was made illegal, and then a
whole disinformation campaign went along with that whereby LSD was
transformed from this wonderful therapeutic agent whose use was
advocated by the major leading figures in psychiatry into this horrible
thing that made children jump out of windows and bust up their
chromosomes. It's called a "disinformation campaign". And it caught the
leaders of psychiatry totally by surprise, which is hard to believe
since psychiatrists are such clever political strategists in general.
What about this whole creating Manchurian Candidate stuff which we see
now for a fact has been going on since WWII? And according to
Estabrooks, even back to WWI? We now have established for a proven fact
that was going on during WWII, and the CIA was working on it in
Artichoke and Bluebird from 1951-53. The Korean War only started in
1950. The disinformation was that our boys went overseas there, they got
shot down, they got captured, the Communist Chinese worked on them with
these strange techniques we don't understand. The person who coined the
term "brainwashing" in a book was Edwin Hunter. He's a career CIA
officer. This was a term coined by the CIA to explain what was happening
to our boys in North Korea who were making bold statements about germ
warfare activities they had been involved in. Now it could be that part
of the Communist brainwashing strategy was to talk to these guys about
the ethical improprieties of biological warfare and bombing they
actually had been doing in North Korea. In any rate, they come home as
Manchurian Candidates. We are all bent out of shape because our boys are
talking Communism, so we say that we have got to start studying this
reactively and defensively because of what the Commies are doing. That
is the disinformation myth that has been adhered to by the Military
Intelligence community steadfastly from the Korean War to the present.
It's totally bullshit. It's disinformation. It's not a fact. It's a made
up story to cover up the fact that actually we had operational offensive
use of this psychological warfare technology already in place in WWII.
We have a major disinformation campaign which has basically fooled
mental health professions and the general public concerning
brainwashing, concerning LSD. Fortunately those are the only two
examples in human history. This analysis does not apply to the False
Memory movement. There is no way it could conceivably be possible, you
will all agree, that there could be any nervousness in the Intelligence
Community about Manchurian Candidates spilling out into civilian
psychotherapies and that a disinformation program based on False
Memories would be required. It is obviously absurd. Nobody but a CIA
conspiracy nut would ever suggest that. I guarantee you that that
thought has never even crossed my mind until it just spontaneously
appeared at this moment. So you see, actually, in fact, the idea that
there could be a deliberate disinformation campaign element to the False
Memory movement is perfectly plausible, consistent with history, and
could be expected. There is bound to be some sort of disinformation
strategy if in fact Manchurian Candidates have been leaking out into
civilian psychotherapy. So here we have, with all of this documentation,
all of this proof ... we know that it is perfectly possible that people
we are seeing in therapy who are claiming to be victims of systematic
military mind control experimentation are telling us about what actually
happened to them. However, I am not a single step further ahead than I
was four years ago on actually documenting that any single patient in
treatment actually in fact was involved in these mind control
experiments. There is no linkage at all from the current patients in
treatment to this documentation. So whether we are ever going to get
that or not, I don't know. (From audience: Mind Control and the Military
can be found on America On-Line on the Internet - "On Psych"-and there
are websites). Apparently there is a lot of information about this on
the web and on Internet and AOl and elsewhere. But the problem is, I
don't go to chat rooms very often, but most of it is totally banal, and
silly and boring and a waste of time. So when you go into the stuff on
mind control, how much is garbage that you are going to get, and how
much is solid stuff that you can pursue and document are you going to
get is my question. I have no idea what the answer is. But, as we all
know, the truth is out there. (From the audience: "how would I go about
documenting that a patient I, or somebody else, currently has in
treatment, in fact was involved in that kind of experimentation?") Well,
here's how the documentation has gone so far. By the way, I have done
Freedom of Information Act requests on MONARCH at all Intelligence
Agencies, and they have all denied it exists. The patient apparently has
no source of contamination for specific MONARCH memories, but has the
word Monarch in her mind, and has very specific detailed Monarch-type
mind control memories. Her father basically abused her domestically and
ritualistically, and then took her over to the mind control people. How
she got there, what the transport mechanism was .. plane, car, location
is all vague because she appears to have been all drugged out then
transported. Is it possible that her father could have been this kind of
person? Well, I have his military service records which I got through
the Freedom of Informatiion Act, I have a letter from him in prison
where he is imprisoned for mob crime connections, I've got a mother and
a sister corroborating the domestic incest, the sister with some patchy
corroboration of ritualistic and mind control memories, I've got the
father personally connected to Jack Ruby. That's as far as it goes. It's
sort of circumstantial and intriguing. So the way I would attempt to
document it would be if the person tells me (most people can't tell you
the specific name of the doctor) but if somebody gives you a specific
name of a doctor, and gives you a specific location, and you can
establish that this doctor actually existed, and you can establish that
in fact this doctor was a CIA employee, and you can establish that this
person's father was imprisoned by the FBI as part of a Mafia raid by
looking at the journal articles that the patient has, then you are
starting to get closer and closer. So it is your basic investigative
reporting type stuff. Name the specific base. Okay what do you know
about the base? How did you get there? Tell me about some buildings?
Tell me about personnel. Describe the uniforms. What was used? And then
if you can get another subject who was there at the same time ... that's
just the way it is. It is your basic investigative reporting. Which is
way beyond being a therapist. There is no therapeutic obligation to do
this. This is mega beyond duty to take collateral history. So I don't
think there is any mystery as to how it would proceed. And it will
proceed probably in the same way as the history of declassified
information since WWII. In about, I think 1988, stuff was released to
the Senate and the Congress and then to the Press about all these
radiation experiments. Nobody did anything. It didn't even get into the
newspapers. It was in the public domain for five years before it finally
hits the newspapers. Now we've got this government report that is 900
pages long on all the radiation experiments, including giving radiation
to children and radiation to pregnant mothers and the children of those
pregnancies dying of leukemia by age five. This is huge, big stuff.
Everybody was apathetic, didn't think it was newsworthy, didn't even put
it as a little trailer item in the New York Times. This is no longer
vague. We know the specific names of people, when they died, whether it
was plutonium or whatever was injected, the names of the doctors, the
names of the medical schools where it was done, it's all keyed up for
compensation, the government has set up a whole compensation mechanism.
If we look at the Tuscagee Syphilis Study ... it is worse than the
creation of Manchurian Candidates. It was set up in Tuscagee, Alabama in
the 1940's. The experiment is-you've got 400 rural, dirt-poor black guys
with active syphilis and 400 controls. These people are followed without
treatment into the 1970's. The people who are involved in the Tuscagee
Syphilis Study (it is a huge long list and I can't remember all the
details of it) but it includes the County Medical Society, the
administration of the study was actually taken over by the Centre of
Disease Control, the Surgeon General, the American Heart Association,
all kinds of people were witting, knowledgeable and aware of the study
and ap proved its ongoing nature well into the 60's and into the 70's,
in complete violation of all known medical ethics. Well okay, that was
kept kind of secret. Nobody heard about it except some of these medical
bigwigs. No. I have a medical paper from the medical school published in
1965 called "Untreated Syphilis in a Male Negro - A 20 year follow-up".
This stuff is published, right in the medical literature. It is looking
everybody right in the face. What happens when you have 400 illiterate
rural black guys with active syphilis untreated, for 40 years? Well, the
outcome of the experiment is, you will be very surprised to hear, they
don't do too well, they develop a lot of disease, and they die young.
They do another thing. They breathe air. There is another behaviour that
we can predict in these guys. They eat food. Going down the list? They
urinate and defecate. Continuing along with basic human functions, they
have sexual intercourse with women. Anybody who has been to medical
school will tell you it is 100% guaranteed that if you take 400 black
guys with syphilis and do not treat them, the rest of t heir lives, you
are guaranteed to be creating cases of congenital syphilis. The entire
medical community knows this as an elementary fact that you learn in
first year medical school, it is published in the medical literature,
and it's condoned by all levels of the old boys network in world
medicine. This is totally unbelievable and completely factual. This
Manchurian Candidate stuff is like Mickey Mouse Psych stuff. It's not
even heavy duty. The nurse who was the head of the Tuscagee Syphilis
study throughout its duration, actually got an award from the Public
Health Service because of her work on the Tuscagee Syphilis Study. The
individual guys have gone and testified at the Senate. You can read the
book, "Bad Blood" and these guys are named as individual human beings.
Which individual human beings who are victims of military mind control
research do we already know? Harold Blauer, the tennis pro who was
killed. Frank Olson who was killed because he jumped through a window
because he took LSD mixed with Cointro by Sidney Gottlieb,
administrative Head of MKULTRA who I talked to on the telephone. When
was the Olson family compensated? He died in 1955 or something. They
were compensated by the President in 1977 I think it was. The reason the
wife and surviving children figured that in fact this was not a simple
suicide was they read the Rockefeller Report on CIA activities published
in 1975 in which the case was described without him being named. So,
they are reading the Rockefeller Report, and they realize their
husband/father was actually killed by experimental LSD and they are
compensated for 3/4 of a million dollars. One of the people who
testified at the Committee hearings at the Senate in 1975 was a
technician for Amadeo Morazzi who was the guy who w as the Head of
Edgeware Arsenal where Paul Hawk got his LSD and mescaline from who was
funded by the Air Force while he was at the University of Minnesota. His
research assistant whose name is Mary Ray(sp) was given a dose of
experimental LSD which resulted in an acute psychotic state for which
she was admitted to hospital for which I have her medical records, and I
am in contact with her lawyer and I am going to go up and get her story
in more detail. She talks about a room that was involved in the LSD
research called "The Leaf Room" so when you were on your LSD trip that
was administered by Amadeo Morazzi you were taken into the Leaf Room
which was a room where all surfaces of the room were totally covered
with leaves. This is weird stuff. She also was connected into a bunch of
other stuff. I am not going to go into all of it, because it is a little
weird, but it is two hops from Mary Ray to Iran Contra. So she is a real
person who exists. I know her lawyer. I talked to her lawyer on the
phone. I am going to fly up there. I am going to interview her. I have
her medical records. And the way this works is the stuff that is
happening now is not going to be declassified for 20 or 30 years.
Eventually we will have the names of people who were victims of
experiments in the 70's and 80's and 90's. We already have the names for
the 50's and 60's, not really into the 70's. We have the names of
specific people who were victims of the Tuscagee Syphilis Study and the
radiation experiments into the 70's. That's the way it goes. You are
just pushing back that curtain and there's always this lag time because
you are relying on the views of the Intelligence Community or public
apathy ... "it was back in the Cold War" "it's different now" "we joined
the boy scouts and we don't do that anymore". So there is always a
disinformation strategy for wh y it happened a long time ago and we
don't do it now and we are very regretful and we are so regretful that
we in fact agree to compensate these victims. In Oregon there was a
prison where men were paid to be subjects to participate in radiation
experiments. Their testicles had been irradiated so they would get paid
a certain fee to participate in the radiation of their testicles.
Special arrangements were made so Catholics couldn't participate in the
study because they couldn't use birth control so they might give birth
to genetically mutated children ... so it had to be only non-Catholic
participants. There was an extra fee, it was a little bit fatter, if you
would agree to testicle biopsy to see if the radiation was dropping the
sperm count. When 9 of these people pressed their case to the State
Legislature in Oregon in either the late 70's or early 80's, in its
magnanimity, the Legislature agreed to compensate them for a total of
$3000 for all nine subjects. So this is the way it goes in trying to
document this stuff and trying to make it public and identify the
specific individuals. IT'S A BIG SLOW JOB. And when you make Freedom of
Information requests it's like interacting with any Federal Bureaucracy.

In fact the CIA has been extremely helpful, extremely polite, extremely
courteous and when I went to the CIA Reading Room in Washington, it was
a very unusual experience. Let me just tell you the story. Here I am, a
Canadian psychiatrist, going down to the Eastern Regional Conference,
and a day early I pop over to the CIA Reading Room to look at the
MKULTRA documents to figure out which ones I want to order at 10 cents a
page which they then shipped to me which arrives at my office via UPS
with CIA stamped in the corner ... I'm wondering who thinks that's weird
... so I show up and it is just this building in Virginia, on a street,
it is completely unrecognizable as anything ... I get dropped off there
... whoa ... there's all these guys in uniforms and here I am, this
civilian. On the wall there is "Secure Telephone CIA and DIA Only" and I
am kind of standing around and some guy says "Good Morning Sir" ... I
say I am here to read some CIA documents. I am supposed to show up at
this location at this time and here is the letter ... and they're going,
CIA jeez ... who are we going to phone ... are you supposed to tell
somebody you are here, or how is this supposed to work? Well, I don't
know, I was just told to show up here ... he says, well, we don't know
who was supposed to meet you ... so I say, well, could I use your phone
... not that phone ... this phone over here. I phone my secretary and
ask what's the telephone number of the contact person? She gives it to
me and I tell them you're supposed to contact this person at this phone
number. It's okay, they say, they're going to be down in a minute. So
then I sign in ... I am escorted up the elevator ... it's all military
guys and I'm in the elevator thinking okay which one of these guys is
doing surveillance on me? I come up to the floor and I am walking along
and it's a federal building and the floor is under repair ... there's
all kinds of construction stuff lying around, and construction guys ...
I go walking along accompanied by this CIA person, and I go into the
first room which has a steel vault door and says "Secured Area: Treasury
Department" ... I go into that room and they close the door. I am now in
a Secured Area. She says Okay sign in here ... I think I signed in ... I
forget. Then I go through another Secured steel door into a second
Secured Area except I can't enter that Secured Area except from another
Secured Space. I sit down and they bring in all the documents on a
little cart and she gives me 15-20 pencils beautifully sharpened, and a
notepad and everything ... you order which documents you want at the end
of the day ... and there's a woman who is at least 80, if not 85, who is
a retired volunteer, sitting there watching me all day. In the room that
I am in, that is a Secured Space has a door opened back to the hallway
that I came down from the elevator to come to the first Secured Space to
go into the ... I am sitting there working away on this huge amount of
documents all day ... work work work work ... some time in the middle of
the day this old woman comes at me, now I am thinking, is this old woman
trying to pump me for information, what's here report going to be back
at the end of the day? She says, "well, what's that stuff you are
reading?" I am trying to act casually, I just say, "Well, it's just a
bunch of mind control documents from the 50's and 60's." And she says
well, is that stuff classified, and I say, no, no, it was declassified a
long time ago, and she says, well what do they need me here for? I go, I
don't know and then I stopped talking to her and I started focusing down
on the paper. So then I get distracted by a couple of black guys who are
walking down the corridor who have something to do with the
construction. The 85 year old woman who is watching me has to go to the
restroom so they are assigned to watch me from the door. They're some
black guys who start joking around, oh oh this guy's pretty dangerous,
we'll have to watch him ... then at the end of the day I leave. That's
my experience at the CIA. But the main contact person is very friendly,
very polite, very efficient, very helpful ... and it's through this
process, I mean they have given me these documents, they are the ones
who have made it possible to prove that the CIA has been creating
Manchurian Candidates ... I have all these other requests on MKSearch,
MKNAOMI, and stuff and I am going to put one in on Stargate. If you want
to do a request on an individual, it turns out that you have to
establish his place and date of birth, his full name, his date of death,
the fact that he was an American citizen, and you have to have public
documentation of his death before they will do a search. Which is the
proper protection of people. So you have to do all of this background
research to find out when did Carl Pfeiffer die, and where did he died,
and get a newspaper clipping from Atlanta to document that. Then you
said all that information into them, and he asks for information on this
particular guy and they send you back the MKULTRA documents that you
already have, that you already know is due to him, except now his name
is not whited out. So a lot of it is just dealing with a Federal
Bureaucracy and it's just REALLY REALLY SLOW and they say ... we've only
got two secretaries and we've got a million requests and we are too
overloaded and we don't have our new computer system but we are working
on it ... it's it's just a VERY VERY SLOW LABORIOUS PROCESS TO GET THIS
STUFF. If it is already declassified and it is indexed, then you can get
it fairly quickly ... like the MKULTRA stuff. If it is just being
organized and isn't yet declassified, then you get in a line, and you
are piggybacked on top of the first requester. When the first requester
gets the stuff, you will get it as well. MKSEARCH? I have been waiting
for a couple of years already. So it's like ... you're trying to change
the way agriculture is administered in the USA ... it's this huge
laborious process, and you are just trying to egg the bureaucracy on and
on and on ... But just to kind of repeat the editorial comment,
basically I don't have a beef with the Intelligence Agencies. My beef is
with the psychiatrists and the psychologists. Questions or comments? Q.
Do I know if I am being surveilled? A. I have been approached by
millions of people at conferences. I don't know if any of them are
operatives or not. I have had no negative, scary, frightening,
intimidations, threats, my office hasn't been broken into, no mail
tampering, nothing has gone missing, no patients have done anything
weird or dangerous towards me, nobody has disappeared, no dead chickens
on my doorstep ... nobody has hustled me into a black car and all of a
sudden I am in Topeka, Kansas and I don't know how I got there. Nothing
like that has happened, so I just assume that if it hasn't happened by
now, it's already too late, like what's the point? Part of this story,
and it is the personal side of it, is, how do you work your way through
all this material and get more and more and more of these connections
and not succumb to terminal paranoia? And it's really just sort of a Zen
... the Zen of investigating military mind control ... you just have to
stay centered and decide not to be paranoid ... not let it get to you.
Because you can get off into how many witnesses to the JFK assassination
are dead, and what about Pan Am 103, what about Timothy McVeigh's
computer chip in his buttock ... you can really get out there real fast.
When he was first arrested, Timothy McVeigh said he had a computer chip
implanted in his buttock ... On the other hand, I hope Intelligence
Agencies are not so fast asleep ... basically ... it is narcistically
injurious to think they are not paying any attention at all ... I can't
take that. I know for a fact they have a file on me because I have filed
millions of Freedom of Information Act requests. The other thing I know
is I got my Green Card in 1994 at the highest level of Green Card there
is ... it's a level where you don't have to even have a job ... or any
visible sign of support ... and I got this Immigration lawyer who put my
whole c.v., and all my publications, and letters from people together,
and so that involves, obviously, a security screen by the State
Department which means connected to Justice and connected to FBI etc etc
so I know I have been screened through all that kind of mechanism and
come out ... in fact, I had to go to Calgary for the Green Card and the
consulate came up and shook my hand and said, "boy I bet you we've got a
lot if dissociation disorders right here ... we could really use you."
[lots of laughter] Q. unintelligible A. I think they are trying to
pretend that they are not going to get uncovered and just carry on with
life and enjoy their retirements ... Over all, what's going on now ... I
assume that there is still a lot of research funding through cutouts
with unwitting investigators ... I assume there is a bunch of witting
investigators. There is another arm going on currently ... that's
artificial intelligence Overall, what is going on now? I assume that
there is still a lot of funding of research through cutouts with
unwitting investigators. I assume there is a bunch of witting
investigators. Let me tell you about another arm that is going on
currently. That is artificial intelligence research. I know that, for
instance, Marvin Merskey at MIT, in his book, "The Society of Minds", he
acknowledges his extensive Office of Naval Research Funding. That goes
back to John Lilly who is tied into the LSD network who treated dolphins
with LSD - he was involved in communication with dolphins - it is a
documented fact they have been used to swim up to ships to blow them up
- with bombs attached to the dolphins during the Vietnam War. We hear
weird stuff from patients sometimes about dolphins and mind control.
John Lilly is tied into the LSD network and I have him attending CIA
sponsored LSD symposia. He invented the flotation tank - flotation tank
is in network in all the sensory deprivation stuff and mixed in with
hallucinogens. He wrote a program on metaprogramming and the human
computer which is an early artificial intelligence treatise that
basically defines a modularity model of the human mind which is the
dominant model of neuronetworks, all that area of artificial
intelligence and a whole bunch of different Office of Naval Research
funding. That is ongoing up to the present ... there is Office of Naval
Research funding for this kind of project ... also for rat physiology,
rat psychology ... research that has to do with modularity of brain
functions and modularity of memory which all is directly relevant to
creating Manchurian Candidates because you want to know the modular
organization of the brain. Q. ____ A. If the hypothesis is that ... now
I am not saying that everybody on the FMSF Advisory Board consciously is
aware of this ... most of them are totally out to lunch and have never
heard of it or thought of it ... the point would be that the
Intelligence Agencies have somehow penetrated the FMS movement and are
trying to spin it in that direction and amplify it for those purposes
and candidate people for Intelligence oversight would be Martin Orne,
Joly West, Richard Ofshe, etc. Maybe Michael Persinger. So if that is
the hypothesis, the basic thing is to cover up government created
Manchurian Candidates, why are all the patients coming in with SRA
stories? Well, that could be just accidentally related and just part of
a cultural hysteria and not real. The other paranoid conspiracy theory
is that the Intelligence Agencies sub-contracted the cults to prime the
children to be good subjects for really really complicated Manchurian
Candidates. Because if you just start with G.I. Joe at age 19, you can't
get intensely polyfragmented multi layers of defense system in place
very easily. One of the pieces of logic that I didn't mention is ... if
you go back to G.H. Estabrooks in WWII, he is creating one alter
personality in an adult recruit. Let's look at the stages the computer
is at during WWII and run up to 1996. We have to postulate that the
technical advance and the increase in complexity in mind control
research operations is at least somewhat parallel to the complexity of
artificial intelligence, all the rest of science, etc. So if they are
still doing it, it's got to be a lot more complicated. You can't get to
a lot more complicated from a foundation of a normal 18 year old
military recruit ... so that's the ultimate in paranoid conspiracy
theory. It's a matter of putting windows in the program ... the first
window that comes open is the SRA -- the window behind that is the
military mind control. Alternatively the whole SRA thing itself could be
deliberate disinformation that has been implanted in the culture.
Broaden the question a little bit. What's my political recommendation on
what should be the legal liability of government induced Manchurian
Candidates for criminal acts that they have perpetrated? I would say
that we should have a double amnesty program. And this is for strategic
purposes. Politics is the art of the impossible. Some people could say
this is unethical and this is caving in and playing the game. I think we
have to have a double amnesty program for any criminal acts conducted by
government induced Manchurian Candidates in the course of the government
operations-and also amnesty for their handlers. Because if we don't have
that, then the drive to keep it all covered up is too great. My basic
argument is that the Intelligence Community has been sold a bogus bill
of goods by these guys, like G.H. Estabrooks and all his heirs down the
line. It is overkill, it is unnecessary, it's ridiculous ... you can
just drop it ... and there will be no operational loss. Do I know that
for a fact? I haven't got the faintest idea. But that's what I propose
to them-they could do their own analysis. If we are going to stop it,
and let it come out to the public, that will never happen if the
individual handlers and operators in the Intelligence Community are
going to be nailed in public and personally responsible. So there has to
be a double amnesty program ... but then there has to be financial
compensation for the victims who get identified. That is less likely to
happen if the compensation comes out of the Intelligence budget-
therefore, it ought to come out of general Federal funds-not to reduce
Intelligence funding-otherwise you have set up systemic disincentive for
this stuff to ever be declassified. However, that should not cover drug,
pimping, and other operations run on the side by handlers doing
Manchurian Candidates. Q.__ A. This is an extremely tricky question that
you are asking. Why does a government created multiple get off the hook
and a domestic created multiple doesn't? The domestic created multiple
is not going to be happy. I will give the reason I don't let the
domestic created multiple off the hook-really quickly-it is that it
destroys the foundation of recovery. The foundation of recovery is "you
are not insane, you're not out of control, it's something you created
inside yourself to survive, you can un-learn it, and be well." And part
of healing is being responsible for what you do now. If we don't do
that, the whole unit gets behaviourally out of control. So, like it or
not, we hold people responsible for the behaviour of their alters, and I
don't view DID as grounds for an insanity defense in and of itself. So
then you are going to say, well why doesn't that then apply to these
government created people? Well, I just think it is different. When
you've been deliberately, systematically experimented on by a
government, you deserve a bit of a break for actions which you have
committed as part of your government assignment ... in other words, if
you are a Manchurian Candidate and you are just out in the world and you
go out and rape somebody, good, you do the crime, you do the time,
that's my attitude. I am only talking about crimes that they have
committed, specifically on assignment for the military Intelligence
Agencies. They are basically soldiers at war. Q. __ A. Where does
Charter Hospital fit in? I would like to know if Charter fits in
anywhere. One thing that I would be willing to do, would be to run a
classified unit for treatment of these individuals. I would be very
happy to do that and to negotiate a Management Services Contract with
the Federal government to do that- R. Q. __ A. Does any of my work
support Cory Hammond's talk at the Regional Eastern Conference in 1992
for which he has been attacked and ridiculed about Dr. Green and all
that? Not directly. Indirectly, and when you tie into the Paperclip
conspiracy ... I am getting the documentation much closer to conclusion,
that, if not Dr. Green, some psychological warfare experts must have
been brought over from Nazi Germany. So that part of it is no longer
kooky. I think that Cory Hammond made a strategic error by going too far
out beyond his documentation too fast, and leaving himself exposed to
ridicule. Although I am thankful to him that he did that because then I
learned alternative strategies. Q. ___ A. The whole way that the tobacco
industry is set up ... regulated, not regulated, funded, lobbied, and
the disinformation campaign that it is run by the tobacco companies-is
basically effective-they are still being sold and they are still making
a profit off of killing people. So you could say that's like a lung
control experimentation program that has been run by the tobacco
companies and everybody is just kind of, in effect, letting it go by.
Except actually the medical profession and the public has gotten on
tobacco way more than they have ever gotten on mind control ... but we
will change that with the book and the movie. (Laughter and much applause)
