The Sleep Room's Missing Memories by Ray Conlogue Quebec Arts Correspondent, Montreal "A new CBC [Canadian Broadcasting Corporation] miniseries tells how mental patients in Montreal were once subjected to CIA-sponsored brainwashing. It's a story worth telling, but some fear that making it into a TV drama may simplify the complex issues behind this shameful bit of Canadian history....recalls a series of barbaric experiments conducted on mental patients over a nine-year period beginning in 1955. Although these began as a well-meaning if desperate attempt to cure schizophrenia, the "psychic driving" technique invented by psychiatrist Ewen Cameron took on a science-fiction quality when it was revealed in 1977 that the Central Intelligence Agency had helped finance the work. The CIA thought it had potential as a brainwashing technique to be used on "enemies" of the United States during the Cold War....a human catastrophe that stripped more than 300 people of their identities....she sued Ottawa instead, and forced the government to pay $100,000 to each surviving Allan patient." http://serendipity.magnet.ch/cia/slprm.html http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0%2C3604%2C737060%2C00.html We won't deny our consciences - Prominent Americans have issued this statement on the war on terror Friday June 14, 2002 The Guardian Let it not be said that people in the United States did nothing when their government declared a war without limit and instituted stark new measures of repression. The signers of this statement call on the people of the US to resist the policies and overall political direction that have emerged since September 11, 2001, and which pose grave dangers to the people of the world. We believe that peoples and nations have the right to determine their own destiny, free from military coercion by great powers. We believe that all persons detained or prosecuted by the US government should have the same rights of due process. We believe that questioning, criticism, and dissent must be valued and protected. We understand that such rights and values are always contested and must be fought for. We believe that people of conscience must take responsibility for what their own governments do - we must first of all oppose the injustice that is done in our own name. Thus we call on all Americans to resist the war and repression that has been loosed on the world by the Bush administration. It is unjust, immoral, and illegitimate. We choose to make common cause with the people of the world.... http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&click_id=3&art_id=qw1023894901416B265 Documentary of US 'war crimes' shocks Europe June 12 2002 by Clive Freeman "Berlin - American soldiers have been involved in the torture and murder of captured Taliban prisoners, and may have aided in the "disappearance" of up to 3 000 men in the region of Mazar-i-Sharif, according to Jamie Doran, an Irish documentary film-maker." >From Lynne Moss-Sharmann NSA INTERCEPTED 9/11 MESSAGES ON 9/09 - NOT TRANSLATED TIL 9/12 June 19, 2002 U.S. Intelligence Intercepted Messages Day Before Sept. 11 By REUTERS 1. WASHINGTON - U.S. intelligence intercepted two messages the day before the Sept. 11 attacks that indicated an event was planned the following day, but the communications were not translated until Sept. 12, government sources said Wednesday. The sources said the National Security Agency, which eavesdrops on communications worldwide, intercepted the messages saying, "tomorrow is zero day" and "the match begins tomorrow." The sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the agency did not translate the messages until Sept. 12 -- the day after hijacked airliners smashed into New York's World Trade Center and the Pentagon killing about 3,000 people in a plot believed hatched by Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network. The intercepted messages gave no details of the time, location or nature of the event that was to take place and it was not clear what language the communications were in. The NSA handles a huge volume of intercepted communications traffic from around the world in many different languages. One U.S. intelligence source said no action could have been taken on the basis of such vague messages. "Sometimes we get the ambient noise and background chatter. You don't know who is talking," the source said. "Is there actionable intelligence in this? Absolutely not. This is not a smoking gun." U.S. intelligence agencies, including the FBI and the CIA, have been strongly criticized by Congress and the media for failing to pick up on a number of warning signs before the attacks. http://serendipity.magnet.ch/cia.html The CIA - America's Premier International Terrorist Organization "ClA-supported Mujahedeen rebels [now, 2001, part of the "Northern Alliance" fighting the Taleban] engaged heavily in drug trafficking while fighting against the Soviet-supported government and its plans to reform the very backward Afghan society. The Agency's principal client was Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, one of the leading druglords and a leading heroin refiner. CIA-supplied trucks and mules, which had carried arms into Afghanistan, were used to transport opium to laboratories along the Afghan/Pakistan border. The output provided up to one half of the heroin used annually in the United States and three-quarters of that used in Western Europe. U.S. officials admitted in 1990 that they had failed to investigate or take action against the drug operation because of a desire not to offend their Pakistani and Afghan allies." <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
