The ongoing discussion about "consciousness" and "Cosmic Mind" must be filtered at least through the manipulations of "belief systems" before settling down into any of the more transcendant modalities. "Global Mind Change" was a political campaign Who is or was behind it, "what gods they worship" or "what E.T.'s they thought they were obeying," are less important than their targeting of innocent U.S. citizens! A considerable amount of the "consciousness change" movements of the '60s & '70s were thoroughly permeated by various factions, primarily to exercise "control" and to prevent mass-culture from spiraling out from under the extant "consensus doctrine." Regarding this item, pulled from the "Mind Control" list online, first a couple of facts from CloudRider, sources as cited. 1. The Society for the Investigation of Human Ecology, referenced in the following letter, received its initial and ongoing funding from the Rockefeller family, according to "Journey Into Madness," by Gordon Thomas, (Bantam Books 1989; 1990), which details a Canadian court case in which CIA eventually settled with "patients" of Dr. Ewen Cameron. Hence legitimate concerns about Rockefeller funding of so-called "UFO" research (advocating "belief in E.T.s") and of "alien abduction" phenomena, which some suspect to be at least in part more cover operations for hypnosis and psychiatric experiments on unwitting subjects, not necessarily by the United States government or its agencies, but by former government or government-funded folks now working outside of government or any of its legitimate "intelligence charters." (If so, the funding philanthropists may be liable for damages from "alien abduction" or "UFO related" trauma, once it can be shown that the "extra-terrestrial hypothesis" was considered and advocated despite less exotic potential explanations, as this. 2. Author John Marks, whose "In Search for the Manchurian Candidate" is referenced in the following, reportedly has told interviewers and other researchers that he "will not touch the UFO issue," vis-a-vis its potential for overlap in at least some cases of so-called "UFO experiences" and "alien abduction" recollections (of which not all had to be recalled under hypnosis for remembrance by experiencers, researchers say). Marks' reluctance to address the "UFO issues" in this manner was noted by Martin Cannon, in his research paper and bibliography, "The Controllers," among others. It is also known that researchers sponsored by CIA and subsequently by non-profits or foundation money (i.e., the Institute for Noetic Science, directed by a retired navy officer and former astronaut, Capt. Edgar Mitchell; the Institute for the Advancement of New Science, in which former "astronaut wanna-be" and Princeton physicist, Dr. Brian O'Leary, plays a key role, are two examples of supposed "research groups" having as their public face an interest in so-called "non-human intelligence" contact and its purported trafficking with human beings; and several so-called "UFO groups" are also closely connected to government personell in classified jobs, yet who deal with purported "alien abductions" and advocate the reality of an "extra-terrestrial" visitation of our planet, to a public curious about unexplained flying objects, etc.) 3. In the "Rockefeller UFO Disclosure Initiative to the Clinton White House," which took place in 1993 through 1994, agents for Rockefeller explicitly prohibited "mind influence" references from being presented to the President for his consideration of the "UFO declassification" considerations presented by Laurance S. Rockefeller, in spite of published reports and other evidence of direct Rockefeller involvements in and funding of these types of activities; in the past for CIA; but more recently out of government through various academic and philanthropic initiatives and "non-profits," including several high-profile "UFO organizations" and "alien abduction" information. (References in "UFOs and Mental Health," by Bob Teets. Headline Books, Inc., '95. P. O. Box 52, Terra Alta, WV 26764. 1-800-589-5951, or see Directory Assistance in Area Code 304. Also online and at various postings across the Internet, 1995-pres.) 4. In her article "Microwave Harrassment," (Dec. 1992), anti-mind-control activist Julianne McKinney alleged that Dr. John E. Mack had some connection with the "human ecology" work that is referenced following. In a personal interview in the presence of several of his staff and others, in his Cambridge office (June 1993), Dr. Mack denied this to me (Dick Farley), i.e., that he had knowingly taken part in any CIA-sponsored psychiatric research. However, Dr. Mack was indeed knowingly at that time (1993-1994) taking part in "alien abduction research" sponsored directly and almost exclusively by Laurance S. Rockefeller, such money routed through the non-profit Human Potential Foundation, Inc., chaired by U. S. Senator Claiborne Pell (then Chairman of Senate Foreign Relations Committee, (who has since retired), and at the time directed by a retired naval intelligence officer, Cdr. C. B. "Scott" Jones. I do not make any supporting comments for Ms. McKinney's allegations, only that it is "out there," but that I'm unaware of any subsequent evidence about Dr. Mack's role, if he indeed had one, whether "knowing" or otherwise.

C 06) To the Editor: Please consider this material for an OP-Ed piece. The obituary of hypnotist Martin T. Orne, M.D., Ph.D. contained the conspicuous omission of his past involvement with the Central Intelligence Agency's project MKULTRA. At least 80 institutions and 195 private researchers participated in the 149 subprojects under MKULTRA between 1953 and 1966. Not only is this type of testing on unwitting human subjects prohibited by the Nuremberg code, but it has been banned by Executive Order No. 12333, §2:10, 3 C.F.R. 213 (1982). Many the projects involved testing on unwitting citizens and the research and development of chemical, biological and radiological materials capable of employment in clandestine operations to control human behavior. According to the Kennedy Committee report on MKULTRA, there were 8 hypnosis subprojects, including 2 involving hypnosis and drugs in combination. See, Project MKULTRA, The CIA's Program of Research in Behavioral Modification; Joint Hearing Before the Select Committee on Intelligence and the Subcommittee on Health and Scientific Research of the Committee on Human Resources, United States Senate, 95th Congress, 1st Session August 3, 1977. Most of the records from MKULTRA were illegally destroyed by the CIA in 1973, with the exception of financial records. In "The Search for the 'Manchurian Candidate'" by John Marks, recognized as "the definitive book" on the LSD, hypnosis, electroshock and other experiments conducted on unwitting citizens under the CIA's MKULTRA, Orne is described as receiving funding for his MKULTRA experiments through the Society for the Investigation of Human Ecology, a known CIA front organization: The Society demanded "no stupid progress reports," recalls psychologist and psychiatrist Martin Orne, who received a grant to support his Harvard research on hypnotism . As a further sign of generosity and trust, the Society gave Orne a follow-on $30,000 grant with no specified purpose. A 1962 report of Orne's laboratory, the Institute for Experimental Psychiatry, showed that it received two sizable grants before the end of that year: $30,000 from Human Ecology and $30,000 from Scientific Engineering Institute, another CIA front organization. The Search for the "Manchurian Candidate", John Marks, W. W. Norton & Company 1991, p.172-173. In 1977, the New York Times identified the Society for the Investigation of Human Ecology among the private medical research foundations funded by the CIA, initially under projects Bluebird and Artichoke, which later became MKULTRA and MKDELTA. See, "Private Agencies Used in C.I.A. Mind-Control Drive", New York Times, p. 16, August 2, 1977. Among those testing sites was the Massachusetts Mental Health Center in Boston where Orne was the director of studies on hypnosis from 1960-1964. Orne was also the Executive Director of the Institute for Experimental Psychiatry, which also participated in the experiments. The court record in the United States Supreme Court case of Central Intelligence Agency vs John Cary Sims and Sidney M. Wolfe, 471 U.S. 159, 85 L.Ed. 2d, 105 S.Ct. 1881 (1985) includes a partially redacted undated CIA memorandum entitled "Memorandum for: Deputy Director for Support; Subject: Institute for Experimental Psychiatry". This CIA memorandum on Orne's Institute for Experimental Psychiatry discussed the flow of grant funds through an intermediary, probably Human Ecology, to the "Institute": "We are convinced that our determination, i.e., that the [deleted] is not a university-related entity, is proper and correct. We are of the further opinion that the flow of funds from the [Deleted] through [Deleted] to the Institute does not put this relationship in opposition to current Agency policy...". CIA vs Sims, 471 U.S. 159, 85 L.Ed. 2d, 105 S.Ct. 1881 (1985) - Joint Appendix page 62. According to John Mark's: "Martin Orne's work for the Agency was described in Subproject 84. He contributed a chapter to the Society-funded book, The Manipulation of Human Behavior, edited by Albert Biderman and Herbert Zimmer (New York: John Wiley & Sons; 1961), pp. 169-215. Financial data on Orne's Institute for Experimental Psychiatry came from a filing with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Attachment to Form 1023". Described as a "Teaching Fellow, Department of Psychiatry, Harvard University Medical School", Orne's chapter in The Manipulation of Human Behavior, is entitled "The potential uses of hypnosis in interrogation" and indicates "this paper is based in part upon work under a grant from the Society for the Investigation of Human Ecology, Inc.", p. 169. The Joint Appendix in CIA vs Sims, 471 U.S. 159, 85 L.Ed. 2d, 105 S.Ct. 1881 (1985), also contains the following memorandum on Orne's subproject 84 funded by the CIA: DRAFT [Deleted] 17 August 1960 MEMORANDUM FOR; THE RECORD SUBJECT: Continuation of MKULTRA, Subproject 84 *** 6. This project has been handled to date in a Government Sterile fashion and none of the personnel at [Deleted] have been witting of true sponsorship. It is contemplated that Dr. [Deleted] will be made witting of the sponsorship and purpose on or about 1 September 1960 in order to guide his project along lines that will further Agency operational needs. /s/ [Deleted] Chief TSD/Research Branch APPROVED FOR OBLIGATION OF FUNDS: Research Director Date: 8-19-60 Attached: Statement of Progress Distribution: Original only The date of the CIA memorandum which mentions the "continuation" of subproject 84 overlaps with the period of time when Orne was the director of hypnosis studies at Massachusetts Mental Health Center and when he was an instructor at Harvard. How mind wrecking were these experiments? In one of the more publicized subprojects, Dr. D. Ewen Cameron, who like Orne received funding through the Society for the Investigation of Human Ecology, subjected his unwitting patients to megadoses of LSD, drug-induced sleep states of up to 65 days, and electroshock therapy at 75 times the usual intensity. Congressional Record - Senate, 99th Cong. 1st Session, Volume 131 No. 106, Part 2, 131 Cong. Rec. S. 11008 quoting The Experiments of Dr. D. Ewen Cameron, Washington Post July 28, 1985. In one case, Cameron gave a patient as many as 109 electroshock treatments, well above the guidelines of between 4 and 8 treatments. Like Orne, Cameron had been well credentialed. Cameron was one of the most prominent psychiatrists in North America and past president of both the American Psychiatric Association and Canadian Psychiatric Association. Due to the illegal record destruction, less is known about the specifics of Orne's mind control experiments under MKULTRA. As a purported legal expert on hypnosis, brainwashing and interrogation however, one questions whether Martin Orne could truly render an unbiased opinion given his dubious past connection with MKULTRA. It is unfortunate indeed that we are so quick to forget the past. Even more unfortunate is that Martin Orne was permitted to influence legal rulings on hypnosis in the 1980s resulting in the potential forfeiture of the right to testify for previously hypnotized crime victims. This effort to suppress critical testimony was carried forward into the 1990s as a scientific advisory board member of an organization known as the False Memory Syndrome Foundation (FMSF). The FMSF advocates the interests of those accused of child sexual abuse and has sought to bar repressed memory testimony from the courtroom. Despite the rhetoric of Orne and the FMSF, the phenomenon of repression following trauma (e.g., dissociative amnesia) is scientifically established in numerous peer reviewed studies and recognized by the American Psychiatric Association. One questions why Orne was so motivated to bar posthypnotic and repressed memory testimony from the courtroom. Could he have been concerned his own past involvement in MKULTRA could come back to haunt him? Very truly yours, ______________________ Helen L.
