Call Waiting

One of my favorite movies is the 1970's spy thriller Telefon. In this
film, the KGB has hypnotized Russian agents to carry out assassinations
and acts of terrorism, prior to committing suicide on completion of
their programmed mission. All of this takes place without the programmed
subjects having any knowledge that they are mind-controlled. These
individuals have been programmed to react when the lines of a Robert
Frost poem are recited to them over the telephone. Placed all over
America as "sleepers," these robot-assassins live out their lives
believing they are ordinary Americans, until the fateful moment when the
telephone rings and a voice begins to recite, "The woods are lovely,
dark and deep, but I have promises to keep and miles to go before I
sleep. Remember, comrade, miles to go before you sleep".

Pure Hollywood fantasy about a paranoid conspiracy theory, right?

Yes. No. Maybe.

I admit that I am split on whether or not I really believe in such a
thing as a mind controlled, programmed assassin. A part of me refuses to
accept that this concept is anything more than an irrational fear and a
good, but slightly paranoid, Cold War-type plot for a movie like Telefon
.

Then there is another part of me that looks at the information about
Project MKULTRA pried out of the CIA via the Freedom of Information Act
and I somehow can't quite bring myself to dismiss the idea as just mere
concept.

We now have substantiated proof that the CIA was working on projects to
control human behavior. And given the history of the agency as revealed
in once classified documents, it is safe to say that the CIA would have
had a great interest in creating the perfect agent: one who didn't know
he/she was an agent. One who was mind-controlled. (In The Control of
Candy Jones, author Donald Bain tells of Candy Jones, a leading New York
fashion model whose story is perhaps one of the best documented cases of
successful mind-control by the CIA via drugs, hypnosis and intensive
programming; Ms. Jones underwent hypnotic regression therapy after
exhibiting disturbing personality shifts and eventually what had
happened to her emerged. The story that unfolded told how Ms. Jones had
been programmed by hypnosis to act as a spy and courier for the CIA in
the Far East, all the while in a deep hypnotic trance. Once the CIA was
through with her, she returned to her former life with absolutely no
memory of what had happened to her).

Such a scenario would be plausible denial at it's finest, producing the
ultimate patsy. Consider the following extract from the "Real Story
Series" booklet entitled "Who Killed Robert Kennedy?" by Philip
Melanson:
"Since World War II, the US military and the CIA have conducted
extensive research into mind control and its relation to national
security...Fearing that the Russians might produce a "sleeper killer" as
a weapon against the West, the CIA began to pursue research on their own
programmed assassin. An agency memo in January 1954 discussed a
"hypothetical problem": "Can an individual...be made to perform an act
of attempted assassination involuntarily?" Can someone be turned into a
"trigger mechanism" that can be "induced to perform the act of attempted
assassination at a later date"? The target of the attempted
assassination was to be "a prominent politician [of the foreign country]
or if necessary, an American official."

Melanson writes further that it would be much easier to create a "patsy"
than to program an assassin and also wrote that hypnosis expert Milton
Kline, a CIA consultant, estimated that he could create such a patsy in
as little as three months.

During their investigation and research into the history of LSD, authors
Martin A. Lee and Bruce Shlain were allowed access to a special reading
room at the Hyatt Regency in Rosslyn, Virginia. Documents pertinent to
the CIA's MKULTRA program were being opened to the public as the result
of a Senate subcommittee led by chairman Senator Ted Kennedy. In the
prologue to their book, Acid Dreams, they write:
In the course of our inquiry we uncovered CIA documents describing
experiments in sensory deprivation, sleep teaching, ESP, subliminal
projection, electronic brain stimulation, and many other methods that
might have applications for behavior modification. One project was
designed to turn people into programmed assassins who would kill on
automatic command. (1)

Most conspiracy researchers are familiar with the CIA's mind control
program MKULTRA. It was led by creepy scientist-spook Dr. Sidney
Gottlieb, who testified before the same subcommittee only after
receiving a grant of immunity from criminal prosecution. MKULTRA was
launched in April of 1953 as a continuation of mind-control experiments
that originated in the Nazi death camps of such notoriety as Dachau.
(MKULTRA, ARTICHOKE and other CIA projects became possible because of
Project Paperclip, a US Army scheme that smuggled Nazi scientists,
intelligence personnel and other war criminals to the United States from
Europe at the end of WWII.)

The start of the Cold War and the Korean War in particular gave the go
ahead to mind control research with the advent of "brain washing" as a
house-hold name. Supposedly a development of the Communist-Chinese, the
term was actually coined by a magazine writer later discovered to be on
the CIA payroll as an "agent of influence". On the premise of a
"brainwashing gap," the CIA got permission for research into countering
alleged communist mind control efforts and set out to develop their own
to aid in the espionage battle.

MKULTRA Calling: A History of Horrors

The abuses of MKULTRA are just beginning to see the light of day.

On November 19, 1953, an Army scientist and germ warfare specialist
named Frank Olson, who was working on an MKULTRA project, was without
his knowledge or consent, slipped a dose of LSD in a drink at a party
attended by other CIA personnel. For weeks afterward he remained in what
many witnesses described as a state of depression and paranoia. He
confided to one CIA doctor that the agency was putting something in his
coffee to keep him awake at night, that people were plotting against him
and that he heard voices commanding him to throw his wallet away, which
he did, even though it contained several uncashed pay checks. On the
last night of his life, he checked into a room at the Statler Hilton
hotel in New York City along with a CIA agent assigned to watch him.
 Olson allegedly jumped through a closed hotel window and fell ten
stories to his death. It was Dr. Gottlieb who had slipped him the drug
at the party. An elaborate cover-up eliminated any clues as to the
actual circumstances of his death. The full truth of what happened would
not come to light for twenty years. (On a recent episode of the
television show Unsolved Mysteries, serious doubts were raised as to
whether Olson actually jumped through the window unaided.) Olson's widow
was eventually awarded a large cash settlement in connection with his
death at the hands of the CIA.

Dr. Ewen Cameron, a prestigious psychiatrist who directed the Allain
Memorial Institute in Montreal, Canada also worked for the CIA during
MKULTRA. With financial backing from the CIA, Dr. Cameron developed a
bizarre method for reprogramming people. This involved "sleep therapy"
where a person was knocked out with sedatives for months at a time.
Next, the phase involved "depatterning" in which the person was given
massive electro shocks and frequent doses of LSD in an attempt to wipe
out past behavior patterns. Then, the doctor would attempt to
recondition the person's mind using a technique called "psychic
driving," in which the person was again heavily sedated, locked in a
"sleep room" where tape recordings of various messages were played over
a speaker under the person's pillow as many as a quarter of a million
times. (2) (Nine of Dr. Cameron's former "patients" have filed lawsuits
against the American government in a claim that they are still suffering
from trauma as a result of these experiments.)

Another death attributed to the program was that of Harold Blauer in
1953. Blauer was part of a study conducted by a group of doctors working
under an army contract at the New York State Psychiatric Institute. He
died a few hours after an injection of MDA, a psychedelic,
amphetamine-derived drug, similar to the 90's "rave" drug, Ecstasy. The
drug had been supplied by the Army Chemical Corps in co-operation with
MKULTRA. One army researcher later admitted that "we didn't know if it
was dog piss or what it was we were giving to him." (3)

And in perhaps one of the most bizarre and horrifying abuses, Dr. Paul
Hoch, while performing experiments for the army as a CIA consultant,
gave intra spinal injections of LSD and mescaline to psychiatric
patients, later lobotomizing them. In one experiment, after a
psychedelic had been administered, Dr. Hoch gave a subject a local
anesthetic and asked him to describe his visual experiences as surgeons
removed pieces of his brain. (4) (The list of other abuses occurring
during MKULTRA is a lengthy one that could fill a large volume.)

The CIA appears to have chosen to experiment primarily on certain
groups: prisoners, mental patients, "foreigners," sexual deviants, and
minorities. Much of the experimentation occurred at places like the
Addiction Research Center, a federal hospital for drug addicts in
Lexington, Kentucky. CIA documents describe experiments conducted in
which persons were given LSD for over seventy-five consecutive days in
double, triple and quadruple doses. The majority of these subjects were
black males.

Abuses of inmates at Vacaville Medical Facility in California, a prison
psychiatric hospital, were also conducted under the auspices of MKULTRA.


Consider the following excerpts from a series of articles that ran in
the Napa Sentinel, entitled, "Mind Control" by Harry V. Martin and David
Caul:
People have found it difficult to accept that an individual can be
hypnotized to perform an act which is against his moral principles. Some
experiments have been conducted by the U.S. Army which show that this
popular perception is untrue. The chairman of the Department of
Psychology at Colgate University, Dr. Estabrooks, has stated, "I can
hypnotize a man without his knowledge or consent into committing treason
against the United States." Estabrooks was one of the nation's most
authoritative sources in the hypnotic field...Dr. Estabrooks actually
conducted experiments on U.S. soldiers to prove his point. Soldiers of
low rank and little formal education were placed under hypnotism and
their memories tested...One of the experiments involved placing a
normal, stable army private in a deep trance. Watkins was trying to see
if he could get the private to attack a superior officer, a cardinal sin
in the military. While the private was in a deep trance, Watkins told
him that the officer sitting across from him was an enemy soldier who
was going to attempt to kill him. In the private's mind, it was a kill
or be killed situation. The private immediately jumped up and grabbed
the officer by the throat. The experiment was repeated several times,
and in one case the man who was hypnotized and the man who was attacked
were very close friends. The results were always the same. In one
experiment, the hypnotized subject pulled out a knife and nearly stabbed
another person...Dr. James V. McConnel, head of the Department of Mental
Health Research at the University of Michigan, said, "The day has come
when we can combine sensory deprivation with the use of drugs, hypnosis,
and the astute manipulation of reward and punishment to gain almost
absolute control over an individual's behavior...A U.S. Navy
psychologist, who claims that the Office of Naval Intelligence had taken
convicted murderers from military prisons, used behavior modification
techniques on them, and then relocated them in American embassies
throughout the world. Just prior to that time, the U.S. Senate
Intelligence Committee had censured the CIA for its global political
assassination plots, including plots against Fidel Castro. The Navy
psychologist was Lt. Commander Thomas Narut of the U.S. Regional Medical
Center in Naples, Italy. The information was divulged at an Oslo NATO
conference of 120 psychologists from the eleven nation alliance...Dr.
Narut, in a question and answer session with reporters from many
nations, revealed how the Navy was secretly programming large numbers of
assassins. He said that the men he had worked with for the Navy were
being prepared for commando-type operations, as well as covert
operations in U.S. embassies worldwide. He described the men who went
through his program as "hit men and assassins" who could kill on
command. Careful screening of the subjects was accomplished by Navy
psychologists through the military records, and those who actually
received assignments where their training could be utilized, were drawn
mainly from submarine crews, the paratroops, and many were convicted
murderers serving military prison sentences...After his NATO lecture,
Dr. Narut disappeared. He could not be located. Within a week of so
after the lecture, the Pentagon issued an emphatic denial that the U.S.
Navy had "engaged in psychological training or other types of training
of personnel as assassins." They disavowed the programming centers in
San Diego and Naples and stated they were unable to locate Narut, but
did provide confirmation that he was a staff member of the U.S. Regional
Medical Center in Naples.

As we shall see, Project MKULTRA may have culminated in such horrors as
the People's Temple tragedy in Jonestown, Guyana, the Kennedy
assassinations and more.

A Directory of Lone Nuts

To my knowledge, we have no actual proof that the CIA was successful in
actually creating a programmed assassin.

Or do we?

In the late 60's and early 70's, political assassinations changed the
course of three presidential elections. In each of these cases,
responsibility was placed on a "lone nut," conveniently relieving any
need for public inquiries into possible conspiracies. Research into
assassinations and attempted assassinations, various murders and mayhem,
and covert activities of America's intelligence community aimed at
American citizens contain our best evidence of the possible success of
mind-control experiments that may have produced programmed assassins.

Also present in some of these cases was the CIA technique of using
"doubles" and even theatrical effects to deliberately create confusion,
promote propaganda and negative sentiments against "subversive groups"
or to bolster the portrait of the "lone nut" in the minds of Americans.
It is possible that these "doubles" were also programmed and mind
controlled. (During the Vietnam era, the CIA's Operation CHAOS was
routinely and illegally conducting domestic spy operations on a large
number of U.S. citizens, attempting to prove a link between the anti-war
movement and world communism. To this day, the files that the CIA
maintains on private citizens are one of the Agency's most closely
guarded secrets).

The cases of John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Ronald Reagan, John
Lennon, Governor George Wallace, the People's Temple "massacre" at Jones
Town, the Symbionese Liberation Army, the so-called "Zebra" murders, and
even the Charles Manson Family are rife with tantalizing clues that seem
to suggest that mind-control has been achieved by the CIA. Consider the
following, itemized list in America's Directory of "Lone Nut" Assassins:


Sirhan Sirhan

Sirhan Sirhan was/is portrayed as the "lone nut" who assassinated Robert
F. Kennedy at the Ambassodor Hotel in Los Angeles on June 5, 1968. There
is strong evidence of the presence of the CIA in this assassination. The
LAPD (which appears to have been under the direction of the CIA at the
time of the investigation) figures prominently in the cover-up which
took place after the shooting.

The fatal wound that killed Robert Kennedy came from a gunshot behind
his right ear. Sirhan, according to multiple witnesses, fired his gun
from Kennedy's front and was never behind the Senator at any time. Once
the shooting started, Sirhan was quickly hauled to the floor by several
people who had been assigned to guard Kennedy that day. (It has been
alleged that Sirhan, like Lee Harvey Oswald, was simply a
mind-controlled patsy and that the real killer was Thane Eugene Cesar,
an armed security guard and a Kennedy-hater with right-wing ties. Cesar
was in the perfect position to fire the fatal shot as he was behind and
just slightly to the right of Senator Kennedy and had been guiding him
by the arm through the crowd at the moment of the shooting).

In what is perhaps one of the best cases for proof of successful
mind-control, the evidence strongly suggests that Sirhan may have been
programmed (by the CIA) with hypnosis and drugs. (Sirhan claims to have
no memory of the killing.)

Master hypnotist William J. Bryan, Jr., who allegedly worked for the
CIA, bragged about hypnotizing Sirhan prior to the assassination, as
well as the serial killer known as the "Boston Strangler," Albert
DeSalvo. Bryan, by his own account, had been the "chief of all medical
survival training for the United States Air Force, which meant the
brainwashing section." He also claimed to have been a consultant for the
film "The Manchurian Candidate," which was based on Richard Condon's
famous novel about a man who is captured by Communists and hypnotically
programmed to return to the United States to kill a political leader.
Condon's novel was itself based upon the CIA's ARTICHOKE program (the
successor to Project BLUEBIRD), which sought to find a way to create a
programmed, amnesiac assassin. Project ARTICHOKE eventually became
Project MKULTRA.

In the July-August, 1997 issue of Probe, (Vol. 4 No. 5), "The Robert F.
Kennedy Assassination: Sirhan Now Says: "I Am Innocent,"
author/researcher Lisa Pease elaborates further:
How far did these experiments progress? There is little in the way of a
written record. In the wake of the exposes during the Watergate period,
exiting CIA Director Richard Helms ordered all files relating to the
CIA’s various mind control experiments destroyed. A few years later, a
small number of documents was found and reviewed by the Senate. In these
few documents may lay some hints as to what happened to Robert Kennedy.
One surviving document in particular bears an uncanny resemblance to the
circumstances surrounding the assassination. The 1954 CIA document
describes efforts to find a way to induce an individual “to perform an
act, involuntarily, of attempted assassination against a prominent
[deleted in original] politician or if necessary, against an American
official.” (And the original document contained) the suggestion that the
subject be “surreptitiously drugged through the medium of an alcoholic
cocktail at a social party.” Sirhan had been drinking Tom Collinses that
night. His last memory was of pouring coffee for a pretty girl,
described by a waiter there as wearing a polka dot dress. Had Sirhan
been surreptitiously drugged? The use of drugs, or hypnosis, or likely a
combination of both, would go a long way towards explaining Sirhan’s
strange behavior as recorded by the witnesses that night. Several
witnesses noticed something odd in Sirhan’s behavior before and during
the shooting. Earlier that evening, one of the Western Union teletype
operators, Mary Groh, noticed Sirhan staring at the teletype machine as
though transfixed. “[H]e came over to my machine and started staring at
it. Just staring. I’ll never forget his eyes. I asked what he wanted. He
didn’t answer. He just kept staring.” One of the men attempting to
overpower Sirhan during the shooting, George Plimpton, was amazed that
Sirhan’s eyes were “dark brown and enormously peaceful.” Another man in
the same position, Joseph Lahaiv, described Sirhan as looking “very
tranquil” during the struggle. Two waiters, Vincent Di Pierro and Martin
Patruski, reported that Sirhan appeared to be smiling. A cook named
Yosio Niwa said, “I’ll never forget that guy’s face...I was so
upset...he was smiling....” When Sirhan was taken from the scene, a
patrolman shined a flashlight in Sirhan’s eyes to check for indications
of drugs or alcohol. On the stand at Sirhan’s trial, the patrolman
“couldn’t recall” what he determined. But in an earlier statement he had
said that Sirhan’s pupils “didn’t react” to the light and that they
“were real wide”. The official records from Sirhan’s blood test were
lost by the Los Angeles Police Department...If the bulk of the
witnesses, who gave matching stories, are correct, then Sirhan couldn’t
have fired the shots, and was in a disassociative state during the
shooting. If he was under hypnosis and given amnesia-producing drugs
such as the CIA was experimenting with for well over fourteen years by
that time, then Sirhan’s claims of memory loss and innocence, while
strange, may well be true...for seekers of truth, the full record
presents the very likely and disturbing possibility that Sirhan was a
mind-controlled patsy performing an act of “attempted assassination” to
distract from the real killers.

In his book, "The Search for the Manchurian Candidate," John D. Marks
details the CIA's efforts to hypnotically program people and adds the
following:
The veteran admits that none of the arguments he uses against a
conditioned assassin would apply to a programmed "patsy" whom a
hypnotist could walk through a series of seemingly unrelated events, a
visit to a store, a conversation with a mailman, picking a fight at a
political rally. The subject would remember everything that happened to
him and be amnesic only for the fact the hypnotist ordered him to do
these things. There would be no gaping inconsistency in his life of the
sort that can ruin an attempt by a hypnotist to create a second
personality. The purpose of this exercise is to leave a circumstantial
trail that will make the authorities think the patsy committed a
particular crime. The weakness might well be that the amnesia would not
hold up under police interrogation, but that would not matter if the
police did not believe his preposterous story about being hypnotized or
if he were shot resisting arrest. Hypnosis expert Milton Kline says he
could create a patsy in three months; an assassin would take him six.

Phrases from Sirhan's private notebooks show the characteristics of
"automatic writing" of a hypnotically programmed subject and he even
makes references to mind control, money, drugs, the Occult and even the
name "Di Salvo."

Witness Sandra Serrano, who was harassed/intimidated/ridiculed by LAPD
polygraph operator Sgt. Enrique Hernandez as he tried to get her to
change her story (Hernandez had ties to the CIA and may have been a
professional CIA interrogator) reported that just prior to the shooting,
she saw Sirhan with a "Latin" man and a girl in a polka-dot dress
ascending an emergency stairway in the hotel where RFK was shot. Other
witnesses saw Sirhan near a coffee machine inside the hotel with a girl
in a polka-dot dress who was whispering to him. (Sirhan has said that
the last thing he remembers prior to the shooting of RFK was having a
cup of coffee with a girl. The next thing he remembered afterward was
being restrained after firing his weapon at Kennedy. This suggests the p
ossibility of additional drugs being placed in his coffee, and further
hypnotic suggestion being given to him just prior to the shooting)

Immediately after the shooting, witnesses saw this same woman and a male
companion (the "Latin") leaving the hotel and gleefully exclaiming, "We
shot him! We shot Senator Kennedy!" Prosecution psychiatrist Seymour
Pollack, who was convinced that Sirhan had been programmed by someone,
asked Sirhan while under hypnosis if anyone was with him when he shot
Kennedy, to which he replied in a hushed tone, "the girl, the girl."

Lee Harvey Oswald

The alleged "lone nut" assassin of JFK had numerous ties to the
intelligence community and served with the Marine Corps at Atsugi, Japan
( originating base of the U2 spy plane flights) during which time LSD
was known to have been field tested there by the CIA. There is the
implication to be considered by his known presence at Atsugi that Oswald
may have been the first "Manchurian Candidate" patsy from which others
were fashioned. The use of numerous "doubles" in the Oswald saga is well
documented by other researchers.

James Earl Ray

The alleged assassin of Martin Luther King may have also been a
carefully chosen and groomed patsy. This case provides us with evidence
of the FBI and CIA's involvement in the assassination of what they
termed as a "black political dissident".

In the tradition of intelligence "handlers," there is the mysterious
"Raoul," whom Ray claims was his contact during the days leading up to
the assassination. While there appears to be no overt evidence of mind
control where Ray is concerned, the case remains of interest for the use
of the Ray doubles "Paul Bridgemen," "Eric S. Galt," and "Ramon George
Sneyd."

Charles Manson

Manson and his followers committed the Tate-LaBianca and other killings
during the late 1960's. Manson used mind-control techniques such as
hypnotism, high doses of LSD, and programming to turn peaceful flower
children into killers, but one has to wonder just exactly where did
Manson learn to program people?

Manson was part of the "hippie element" at the time of the CIA's use of
drugs and the MKULTRA experiments in an attempt to discredit the left
wing anti-war movement in America.

Manson's supply of LSD may have come directly from the CIA. A new type
of LSD known as "Orange Sunshine" was being used by the Manson Family
immediately prior to the Tate-LaBianca murders according to Family
member Charles "Tex" Watson, who wrote in his prison memoir that it was
the use of the Orange Sunshine LSD that finally convinced him that
Manson's Helter Skelter, apocalyptic vision was real. (13) And this
special LSD may have been supplied by the CIA. Orange Sunshine was
manufactured and distributed by a group known as "The Brotherhood of
Eternal Love" who operated out of a beach resort near Los Angeles. The
Brotherhood had among it's drug manufacturers and dealers, one Ronald
Stark, a person with known connections to the CIA. It is believed that
Stark was responsible for the manufacture of up to 50 million hits of
LSD). (14)

It is also interesting to note that Manson, an avowed racist and having
a known affinity for right-wing beliefs, was somehow conveniently and
completely linked with the left-wing by the news media. It can be argued
that the Manson murders "nailed the coffin shut" in the minds of many
Americans as far as the image of the Hippies as a peace-loving,
political movement was concerned, and by all indications, this seems to
have been just one very weird part of a successful CIA operation to
discredit the anti-war movement in America.

Manson's personal obsession was with "Helter Skelter" and his belief was
that this event would ignite a black-white race war in America; the
Tate-LaBianca murders and the murder of musician Gary Hinman were
definitely staged with false clues that the killers (or perhaps someone
else) hoped would be blamed on elements of the "black militant"
movement.

Manson has said in interviews that he based some of his "philosophy" on
the science fiction novel Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Hienlien.
In a scenario perhaps reminiscent of Mark David Chapman's and John
Hinckley's infatuation with Catcher in the Rye, could Stranger in a
Strange Land somehow have been Manson's program-trigger mechanism? Was
the concept of Helter Skelter part of Manson's program?

And consider that if a hippie-ex-convict-nobody like Charles Manson
could program people to kill, then why not the U.S. Government?

In the book, Helter Skelter, Manson prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi
discusses Manson's programming techniques in depth, likening much of
Manson's programming abilities to the same thing that takes place with
recruits in the U.S. military. But Bugliosi also hints at "some missing
element, "some aspect of Manson's personality that we do not understand"
that enabled him to program his followers to kill.

Manson was in prison during the time that the CIA was known to be using
inmates at Vacaville prison in the MKULTRA experiments, a fact that
leaves one to speculate that perhaps Manson was some sort of
mind-controlled guru cum agent provocateur, set loose against the
"subversive" left-wing elements by the CIA.

In an article entitled, "British Psychiatry: From Eugenics to
Assassination," the author, Anton Chaitkin writes of "Manchuria in
California" and has this to say about Manson:
"As Carol Greene has demonstrated in her 1992 book "Charles Manson,
Test-Tube Murder: The Case of Charles Manson," before he (Manson)
committed mass murder, he was himself a NIMH (National Institute of
Mental Health) "research subject." Manson was released from a California
prison in March 1967. He was required by law to report regularly to a
parole officer named Roger Smith, who was based at the Haight-Ashbury
Medical Clinic in San Francisco. This was a NIMH project designed to
observe and in effect supervise the first large-scale drug addiction of
white teenagers, thousands of whom were the clinic's clients. Clinic d
irector David E. Smith was also the publisher of the Journal of
Psychedelic Drugs, and a leading national advocate for the legalized use
of narcotics. Within the clinic arrangement, Charles Manson's parole
officer was officially commissioned to scientifically investigate the
effects that various kinds drugs had on addicts served by the NIMH
clinic. David Smith also collaborated with another NIMH project: a
behavioral study of children in communes. He was an expert on the
breeding of violent anti-social characters in the mind-crushing
environment of the hippie or cult commune. Parole officer Roger Smith
remained on Manson's case after he was no longer his parole officer, as
an adviser and observer of the increasingly insane man."

Since his incarceration for the Tate-LaBianca murders, Manson has again
served part of his time at Vacaville.

Arthur Bremer

The attempted assassin of Governor George Wallace of Alabama was
described in the media as a deranged loner, but he wasn't alone at all
if you count the involvement of the CIA and the Nixon/Watergate
"plumbers" who figure prominently in this case. (It has been suggested
that George Wallace's political campaign could potentially have taken
too many votes away from rival presidential candidate Richard Nixon if
Wallace was allowed to stay in the presidential race. He was
conveniently eliminated by Arthur Bremer).

On Monday, May 15, 1972, Bremer attempted to assassinate George Wallace
at a campaign rally in Laurel, Maryland. According to researchers,
within one hour after the Wallace shooting, Nixon aide Charles Colson,
having invented a ruse to place blame for the shooting on radical
extremists of the left wing, ordered Watergate "plumber" E. Howard Hunt
to break into Bremer's apartment and plant Black Panther and Angela
Davis literature there. (Bremer, however, had political convictions
leaning towards the extreme right. None other than George Wallace
himself stated that he wondered how members of Nixon's staff had found
Bremer's apartment so quickly after the shooting.)

But this "loner" actually had quite a few friends. One of these friends,
Dennis Cassini, turned up mysteriously dead in the trunk of his own car
before he could be questioned. (5) The FBI didn't even bother to
investigate his death. According to The Milwaukee Journal: "The former
Wisconsin College Republican State Chairman said (that) Donald Segretti,
confessed political spy and Republican saboteur in the 1972 presidential
campaign, urged him to recruit persons in Wisconsin to do dirty tricks
to embarrass the Democrats."

Arthur Bremer was from Milwaukee. Records show that Bremer traveled
extensively while stalking Wallace on his campaign trail, staying in
expensive hotels, running up debts totaling $5,000 dollars, which he
paid. Quite unusual for a busboy whose total earnings were under $2,000
dollars for the entire year. Bremer was also identified prior to the
assassination as the man seen accompanying Watergate-operative Anthony
Ulasewicz in Michigan. (The personality revealed by Bremer's diary was
used as a source for the character of Travis Bickle in screenplay of the
movie Taxi Driver, which would, curiously, later drive John Hinckley in
his own presidential assassination attempt).

Bremer was sentenced to 63 years in prison and has never given any
explanation as to why he shot Wallace.

Mark David Chapman

Yet another "lone nut" assassin who killed "leftist" John Lennon in New
York City on December 8, 1980.

Chapman had possible ties to the CIA as a former World Vision Employee.
(World Vision Missionaries is an "international evangelical order" that
has performed espionage work for CIA). Allegedly, while working for
World Vision, Chapman was trained in terrorist infested, war-torn Beruit
as a "security guard".

Less than four months before John Hinckley Jr. attempted to gun down
Reagan, Chapman shot and killed John Lennon in what may have been a
practice run for Hinckley's later assassination attempt on Reagan.  It
is known (via the Freedom of Information Act) that the FBI kept an
extensive file on Lennon and considered him to be a "dangerous left-wing
subversive."

The FBI was able to keep Lennon from obtaining permanent residency in
the United States, watched his apartment, followed him and even tapped
his telephone. According to British Journalist Fenton Bresler, who wrote
the book, "Who Killed John Lennon?," the FBI viewed Lennon (who was a
close confidant to ultra-radicals Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffman) as a
dangerous radical who exerted a strong influence on the public through
his music and political activities.

After shooting Lennon, Chapman sat down and calmly began reading from
The Catcher in the Rye, a novel by J.D. Salinger. (Interestingly, J.D.
Salinger, author of "Catcher" served in the Counter Intelligence Corps
during WWII with Henry Kissinger. Others have theorized that this book
served as some sort of post-hypnotic suggestion or program "trigger").
(6) Chapman himself claims that he killed Lennon to promote the reading
of "Catcher in the Rye," yet according to those who knew him, Chapman
never exhibited strong feeling about the book until just prior to the
shooting.

Chapman has been quoted as saying this about the shooting:

"He (Lennon) walked past me and then I heard in my head, 'Do it, do it,
do it, like that,' I don't remember aiming. I must have done, but I
don't remember drawing a bead or whatever you call it...I had no
emotion, no anger....dead silence in the brain."

Fenton Bresler believed that Chapman was a brainwashed hit man.
 He wrote that, "Mark David Chapman is in many ways as much the victim
of those who wanted to kill John Lennon as Lennon himself."

The police detective (Arthur O'Connor) who interviewed Chapman
immediately following the shooting was convinced, due to his strange
demeanor, that Chapman was under the influence of some sort of hypnotic
programming. (Chapman has officially been portrayed as simply an
obsessed Beatles fan who stalked and killed Lennon for fifteen minutes
of fame. A source of mine, who wishes to remain anonymous, told me about
how he once worked in a record store in Decatur, Georgia where Mark
David Chapman often shopped for records. He claims Chapman was not a
Beatles fan at all, but rather that he seemed obsessed with the music of
Todd Rundgren). O'Conner stated that "It is definitely illogical to say
the Mark committed the murder to make himself famous. He did not want to
talk to the press from the very start. It's possible Mark could have
been used by somebody. I saw him the night of the murder. I studied him
intensely. He looked as if he could have been programmed."

Although Chapman has been portrayed as a loner, he was anything but. He
worked extensively with children as a camp counselor for the YMCA and
appeared to have had a normal social life.

John Hinckley, Jr.

The attempted lone nut assassin of Ronald Reagan, whose death would have
placed CIA- spook-vice-president George Bush into the white house eight
years earlier than when he was eventually elected. (It should also be
noted that the members of the Bush and Hinckley families are old
friends, both families having made big money in the Texas oil boom. In
fact, Bush's son, Neil, was supposed to have had dinner with Scott
Hinckley, John Hinckley's brother, the evening that John went on his
shooting rampage. John Hinckley, Sr., a reputed CIA officer and close
friend of George Bush was also an important World Vision official).

Like Mark David Chapman, John Hinckley, Jr. also had a copy of Catcher
in the Rye in his possession when apprehended. According to official
reports, Hinckley was also heavily "influenced" by the Travis Bickle
character from the Martin Scorcese film Taxi Driver. In this film,
Robert DeNiro plays an obsessed gunman who plans to assassinate a
presidential candidate, a character that was inspired by Arthur Bremer's
personal diary.

And like Bremer, Hinckley traveled extensively around the U.S., and
prior to his attempt on Reagan, was arrested at the airport in
Nashville, Tennessee with three handguns. Curiously, Hinckley was not
placed under any surveillance after this incident. And in emulation of
both Sirhan Sirhan and Bremer, Hinckley also kept a dairy in which he
detailed his plans for shooting Reagan.

There are reports that a Hinckley "double" named "Richardson" traced
Hinckley's path from Colorado to Connecticut, all the while writing
letters to Jodie Foster, just as the real Hinckley did. This Richardson
was arrested with a weapon at New York's Port Authority bus terminal,
claiming he was going to kill Reagan. Richardson and also had links to
World Vision Ministry. No less a figure than conspiracy queen Mae
Brussel allegedly spotted an apparent Hinckley double prior to the
assassination attempt and reported this to the Secret Service. (The
Hinckley double's true name is Edward Richardson, a person who looked
amazingly like Hinckley).

One has to ask the obvious: what are the odds that two "unstable" men
could be obsessed with the same actress from the same film at the same
time, while "behaving" under nearly exact circumstances? That both of
these men were intent on re-creating the Travis Bickle character's
assassination scheme from the movie "Taxi Driver"? What are the chances
that two separate "mentally unstable," lone individuals, with so many
odd similarities, would reach critical mass at the same time and in the
same way?

It is known through court records that Hinckley underwent psychiatric
treatment just prior to his attempt on Reagan and that at the time of
the shooting, he was under the influence of psychiatric drugs. Found not
guilty by reason of insanity, he remains confined to a psychiatric
hospital where he has occasionally corresponded with such notables as
serial killer Ted Bundy and Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme of Manson Family
fame and an attempted presidential assassin in her own right.

Kerry Thornley

Kerry Thornley has claimed that he and Oswald were both mind-controlled
patsys and involved in the JFK assassination without conscious
knowledge.

Thornley served in the Marine Corps with Oswald. He too, was once
stationed at Atsugi, Japan. Thornley has come to believe that he was,
against his will and without his knowledge, part of the conspiracy that
killed John Kennedy. (Thornley once worked at a Mexican restaurant in
the Little Five Points area, my former neighborhood in Atlanta, Georgia.
I remember him being pointed out to me once at a party and he was a
familiar local figure to everyone. At that time, Thornley was regarded
as just another oddball street personality who had wacky ideas about the
JFK assassination, and no one really gave any particular credence to
what he had to say. This was prior to the revival of mass interest in
the Kennedy assassination that was generated by the release of the Ol
iver Stone film, JFK).

Thornley testified before the Warren Commission and at the time he
claims he was satisfied that Oswald was Kennedy's killer. In the book,
Conspiracies, Cover-ups and Crimes, author Jonathan Vankin interviewed
Thornley and reveals, among other things, that Thornley was
living/working in New Orleans at the same time that Oswald was living
there and in a neighborhood that was host to a whole cadre of
intelligence agencies. Thornley reportedly met both Guy Bannister and
David Ferrie while in New Orleans, and after moving to L.A., he met John
Roselli, one of the country's most powerful mobsters and an object of
suspicion regarding the Kennedy assassination. (Roselli was later found
chopped into pieces and stuffed into an oil drum which had been dumped
off the Florida coast shortly before he was to testify before the House
Select Committee on Assassinations)

Vankin's book discusses how in 1961, while living in New Orleans,
Thornley was introduced to a man named "Gary Kirstein" in a New Orleans
bar called the Bourbon House. Thornley recalls that Kirstein was "sort
of a neanderthal racist" and was writing a book titled, "Hitler Was a
Good Guy". Thornley, in recalling the most memorable parts of his
conversation with Kirstein states that he (Kirstein) and himself debated
theoretically on how to assassinate President Kennedy, as if they were
two writers discussing how it could be written in a novel. Thornley also
says that Kirstein basically predicted everything that was going to
happen in the next twenty years, including the Manson Family, the war in
Vietnam, etc. (Thornley states that at the time he listened to this
conversation, he was bored and disbelieving of Kirstein and that he had
blotted out the memory of this conversation for ten years)

Thornley now believes that Kirstein may have been E. Howard Hunt, CIA
spook extraordinaire and infamous Watergate "plumber". Thornley later
wrote an article entitled, "Did the Plumbers Plug J.F.K., Too?" that
appeared in an Atlanta underground newspaper. In the book Secret and
Suppressed, Thornley wrote an article titled, "Is Paranoia a Form of
Awareness?" in which he writes:
After I wrote Did the Plumbers Plug J.F.K., Too?, I got two unusual
phone calls. First was a male voice imitating the sounds of a speeded-up
tape recorder or a gibberish-talking cartoon character. Ten years
earlier a (New Orleans resident) named Roger Lovin and I used to address
one another in the Bourbon House with identical noises to those I was
now hearing on the other end of the line...This time I simply replied
with a word or two of bewilderment, and the caller hung up. Within
seconds, the phone rang again. Now a male voice-not Roger's-said very
clearly, "Kerry, do you know who this is?" When I answered in the
negative, he said, "Good!" and again the caller hung up. (7)

Thornley said the voice on the telephone brought back "eerie memories"
and sounded similar to the voice of the "Kirstein/Hunt" individual from
New Orleans. (Shades of Telefon?) Also while in Atlanta, Thornley went
to the Atlanta police during a time that an interest in new allegations
regarding the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. were being
investigated because he again "remembered that Kirstein had also talked
about killing King". Twelve days after making statements to the police,
Thornley was attacked and pistol-whipped by two men in ski masks who,
strangely, took only his identification.

Thornley believed that he was programmed for some part in the
assassination of Kennedy and that "Kirstein" was his controller and may
have implanted some sort of device in his brain.

Donald DeFreeze

The "leader" of the Symbionese Liberation Army, who (like Manson) was
imprisoned at Vacaville during the time of the MKULTRA experiments, may
have been a CIA, FBI "agent provocateur". He may also have been
mind-controlled. According to the Jonathan Vankin and John Whalen:
There was something queer about the SLA all along. Its leader, Donald
"General Field Marshall Cinque" DeFreeze-career crook and informer for
the LAPD-emerged from the California penal system's Vacaville Medical
Facility where he'd come under the tutelage of CIA agent Colston
Westbrook, a psychological warfare specialist. Westbrook enlisted
DeFreeze into his "Black Cultural Association." Armed robber DeFreeze
obtained early release from Vacaville by performing "a favor" for prison
authorities. (Doing a "favor" was in reference to submitting to
psychiatric experiments). The SLA went public with the assassination of
African-American Oakland school superintendent Dr. Marcus Foster on Nov.
6, 1973. Just weeks earlier, a neo-Nazi group issued a flyer predicting
Foster's death. "Black men" were witnessed scurrying from the scene of
the crime but the arrested shooters were whites. Black face makeup was
discovered in their apartments. (8)

Regarding the use of makeup and other theatrical props, consider the
following: In a Strange Magazine article, The Makeup Man and the
Monster: John Chambers and the Patterson Bigfoot Suit, author/editor
Mark Chorvinsky mounted an investigation into whether the famous
"Wright- Patterson Bigfoot film, a virtual cornerstone in the
investigations and belief of the existence of Bigfoot, was actually a
hoax perpetrated by renowned Hollywood makeup/effects artist John
Chambers. The film was allegedly shot on October 20, 1967 and shows what
is purported to be an actual Bigfoot creature as it walks through the
forest in California. The footage has been featured in numerous
television shows and films and is usually the film people think about
when debating the reality of the creature.

During Chorvinsky's investigation, he interviewed many of Hollywood's
most prominent makeup artists. Chorvinsky writes: "I have investigated
many phenomena over the past decade, and some of the cases have been
quite controversial, but rarely has anyone requested anonymity...I'm in
the awkward position of knowing more than I can tell at this time. One
aspect of either (John) Chambers' career or the legends surrounding it
is the buzz about Chambers' involvement in government-sponsored "black
box" work. No one has ever been willing to go on the record concerning
this alleged work, but within the Hollywood makeup community it is
generally believed that such work did occur and that it has added to the
secretiveness of Chambers and his closet associates...Widespread rumors
in the makeup community depict Chambers applying a wig and prosthetics
to a cadaver to fake the death of a foreign ruler, and engaging in a
number of "Company"-sponsored "non-theatrical" projects. These black box
rumors are all reminiscent of Mission Impossible plots, many of which
relied on disguises, some courtesy of Chambers' makeup prowess. One
rumor depicts the CIA watching Mission Impossible on television and
getting disguise ideas from it, then going after the makeup artist,
Chambers, to work for them...we do know for a fact that Hollywood makeup
artists have been instrumental in various military/intelligence
projects...In this regard I interviewed Bob Schiffer, the head of
Disney's makeup and hair department with over sixty years in the
business. The veteran makeup master touched on this sensitive topic:
John did mention to me at one time that he was involved in something for
the government. Some of us, including myself, were recruited during
World War II by (then Lieutenant) Gordon Bau for undercover work of a
certain type. Sometimes we did not know what the makeup was used for. A
lot of us did camouflage work in World War II. I was also involved in
the years after the war. In the Bay of Pigs invasion we made up people
to look Cuban. (Emphasis added) (9)

The SLA saga continues to make its presence known because of the
possibility that CIA-sponsored mind-control programs may have been used,
in part, as a means to control the public's perception of black
militants and left-wing politics in America.

Was DeFreeze mind-controlled? His history is somewhat clouded, but it
appears that he first worked as a snitch/informant for the LAPD's
Criminal Conspiracy Section, supplying information about black militant
organizations during the 60's. During the early 70's, DeFreeze was
serving a sentence in Vacaville Prison during the time that the CIA was
alleged to have been conducting drug experiments there at what was
notoriously known as the "third floor." According to author Mick Farren:


"DeFreeze became a (CIA) test subject and also recruited others under
the cover of leading a self-help group called the 'Black Cultural
Association.' DeFreeze's own statement is that he was drugged and
conditioned by CIA agents and instructed that he would become "the
leader of a radical movement and kidnap a wealthy person." After
escaping through a conveniently unlocked exit door, DeFreeze did exactly
that."

Rev. Jim Jones

Jim Jones was the supposed mastermind behind the People's Temple
massacre in Guyana where over a thousand people died. One would have to
wonder if perhaps Jim Jones had also read Stranger in a Strange Land or
 Catcher in the Rye.

It is possible that the real purpose behind Jonestown was to create a
breeding ground for mind-controlled assassins like Chapman and Hinckley.
(The People's Temple also had ties to the World Vision ministry).

The official version of this story is that Jones' followers committed
mass suicide by swallowing cyanide-laced Kool-Aid in an act of religious
devotion to Jones. However, new information stresses the possibility
that this "massacre" was in reality an MKULTRA mind-control experiment,
conducted by the CIA, and that most of the dead were actually murdered.
(Drugs such as those used in known MKULTRA operations were discovered at
Jonestown, including a whopping 11,000 doses of Thorazine, a major
tranquilizer used in psychiatric hospitals). (10)

In a recording made during the final moments of the mass deaths in
Jonestown, Jim Jones can be heard shouting, "Get Dwyer out of here," in
reference to Richard Dwyer, a CIA agent who was present during the
"massacre". Evidence gathered by other researchers points to a strong
CIA presence in almost all of the dealings of Jim Jones before, during
and after Jonestown and to the Guyana site itself.

There is evidence that Jones used doubles and even some confusion as to
whether it was the genuine Jones whose body was found among the dead, as
photographs of what is alleged to be his body are missing his tattoos.

Witnesses to the shooting of Congressman Leo Ryan and others at the
Jonestown site describe the assailants as "zombie-like" and emotionless.


In reference to a rumored "death list" compiled by the People's Temple,
a congressional aide was quoted as saying, "There are 120 white,
brainwashed assassins out from Jonestown awaiting the trigger word to
pick up their hit." (Emphasis added) (11)

Serial Killers

The explosive rise in the 1980's of the serial killer phenomenon makes
one wonder if perhaps what we are seeing is the result of government
mind-control experiments gone awry, that perhaps these repetitive
killers are part of a stockpile of "sleepers" who woke up too early or
whose programming mechanism has been inadvertently triggered in some
way.

Consider that for the most part, serial killers tend to prey on the
so-called "undesirables" of society, such as prostitutes, homosexuals,
and other targeted minorities of the ultra-right wing. (The FBI's
Behavioral Science Unit has stated that as many as 150 serial killers
may be operating undetected in the United States).

Serial killers, like mind-controlled sleepers, outwardly appear normal
to the rest of the world, but also seem to be acting under a programmed
obsession to kill, usually in the same way, over and over again, as if
trying to fulfill some sort of mission that is echoing around in their
heads.

Examples of this phenomenon would include the infamous Zodiac serial
murderer who terrorized the Vallejo and San Francisco areas of
California and has never been caught or positively identified. Between
1966 and 1969, it has been verified that six people were murdered in
California by an unknown killer who called himself "The Zodiac." (The
Zodiac case is officially still unsolved and may have even continued as
late as 1978).

This highly intelligent and purposely enigmatic killer sent dozens of
letters, codes, and diagrams to area newspapers detailing his crimes and
taunting the police. In many of these letters he would threaten to
commit future crimes and he claimed that within the coded information,
he had identified himself to the authorities. The Zodiac murders are
believed to have begun in Riverside, California in October of 1966 with
the murder of an 18 year old college student. After this first murder,
the killer began sending cryptic letters to the relatives of victims,
the press and to police, including a highly intricate and complex
character cipher with over 300 coded symbols that was eventually cracked
by an amateur husband and wife team who saw the cipher in the paper.

The Zodiac may have killed as many as 49 people and has never been
identified (and there are even new theories that Unabomber Theodore
Kaczynski was/is the Zodiac). Many of the Zodiac murders took place on
important dates according to the astrological signs of the Zodiac; the
postmarks of Zodiac's four 1974 letters, in the order of their mailing,
form a giant "Z" on a map of the Bay Area. During the time of the known
murders, the press and media strongly hinted that the Zodiac was a
crazed hippie and thus aligned with left-wing politics. Interestingly,
one letter attributed to Zodiac that was mailed from San Francisco,
arrived at the San Francisco Chronicle on February 14, 1974, seven days
after the Symbionese Liberation Army had kidnaped Patty Hearst. In this
letter, the author pointed out that the abbreviation "SLA" meant "kill"
in the old Norse language (sla).

The Zebra Killings

San Francisco's "Zebra killings," a murder spree roughly simultaneous
with the time that the SLA was active, were allegedly perpetrated by
American Black Muslims motivated by "revenge" on the white race. Given
the history of such tactics as the use of disinformation and smear
campaigns against "subversive" groups, it is possible that this was a
CIA program to discredit the Muslim movement in America, and that the
murders were possibly committed by whites in black face makeup.

These crimes were allegedly carried out by a Nation of Islam group that
called themselves the "Death Angels" and who believed that they were
serving Allah by killing "blue-eyed devils," i.e. Caucasians. To become
a Death Angel, a member supposedly had to kill either nine white males,
five white females, or four white children in order to earn their
"wings". Polaroid photographs were taken of the victims at the murder
sites as proof by the murderers that the killings had been accomplished.
These murders were supposed to guarantee the killers a special place in
Mecca in the afterlife. (The police estimated that up to two thousand
persons earned their "wings"). The code-named "Zebra" killings
(so-called by police because the crimes involved black on white crimes)
took place in San Francisco during a six month period from 1973 to 1974
and occurring during the time of CIA/FBI involvement in Vacaville and
anti-subversive type operations in California. The murders involved
shootings, stabbings, and hackings with machetes.

On January 28, 1974, the killers claimed five victims in one night. A
group of five black Muslims were arrested and accused of being the
principal perpetrators, but one defendant (A.C. Harris) turned informant
and testified with immunity. According to some sources, up to twenty of
these killers were never caught or identified. The Nation of Islam paid
for three defense attorneys during the trial. All of the suspects
received life sentences.

Disconnected Connections

The religious "cults" that come under public scrutiny always seem to
involve accusations of mind-control. Do the implications of government
involvement in a place like Jonestown and what we now know about MKULTRA
suggest that we will see this sort of history repeat itself? "Those who
do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it" are the very words
that were displayed prominently on a sign above the pulpit at Jonestown.


What will future investigations reveal as to CIA/intelligence ties lying
behind other groups such as the Branch Davidians or even Heaven's Gate?
Consider the rumblings that have been heard regarding Timothy McViegh
and a supposed mind-control device implanted in his brain. Perhaps
McViegh received a special telephone call just prior to the events in
Oklahoma City...

In response to public outcry in 1977, Congress forbade further research
into mind-control and demanded that these programs be terminated. Former
CIA man Victor Marchetti has revealed that as of today, so-called "black
programs" working with mind-control still exist, only now they are
better hidden. A new project that works with "synthetic telepathy"
supposedly has the ability to remotely transmit microwave voices into
the heads of targeted persons. This device and others are known as Less
Than Lethal (LTL) weapons, according to an article that ran in the
April, 1994 issue of Scientific American. (12) During the NBC
documentary The Other Side, Major Edward Dames of the Pentagon's Defense
Intelligence Agency stated that "The U.S. Government has an electronic
device which could implant thoughts in people." He refused further
comment afterward.

And so the beat goes on. Your tax dollars are at work, even as you
sleep. And who knows, maybe the next ringing telephone could be a
"wake-up call" for either you or me?
