THREE:
Cold War 1945-1995
On the eve of the Cold War with Russia the mood was grim and the evaluation of the
American military was summed up in the words of General Doolittle.
"It is now clear that we are facing an implacable enemy whose avowed objective is world
domination by whatever means and at whatever cost. There are no rules in such a
game…if the United States is to survive, long-standing American concepts of "fair play"must be reconsidered. We must develop effective espionage and counterespionage
services and must learn to subvert, sabotage and destroy our enemies by more clever
means than those used against us. It may become necessary that the American people be
made acquainted with, understand and support this fundamentally repugnant philosophy."
General Doolittle stated the post war environment between the US and USSR when he
declared that a dirty war was going to be waged using the most un-American of methods
to achieve victory over the USSR at any cost.
The American public, should they examine
these methods would repudiate them, so these methods must be kept from them, the
alternative being the risk of losing the war against Communism.
In short a secret war had
begun between desperate men who would stop at nothing to win. The most obvious
results of the 50 year war were the tens of thousands of nuclear warheads aimed at US
and USSR population centers and military installations and the trillions of dollars spent to
create the strategy of Mutually Assured Destruction.
The most important legacy of this
undeclared war are the patriotic crimes carried out in our name without the knowledge of
the American people, and the erosive effect of a sustained war on democratic institutions.
The declaration by Barry Goldwater that, "extremism in defense of liberty is no vice" may have been a bit premature in its conclusion.
The nature of these patriotic crimes are
largely unknown due to the cult of secrecy created by US intelligence agencies, but
certain crimes against the American people and crimes against humanity can be
identified, namely, the subversion of democratic institutions and the race to control the
human mind.
A revolution in military affairs has occurred that has driven a mini-Manhattan
Project in the quest for total domination of our enemies. Using human beings
as guinea pigs has been the fallout of all modern weapons development, from the
radiation studies, biological weapons, chemical weapons, all necessitated their testing on
unwitting human beings to understand how they kill and how to apply them.
The race to
create mind control, the ultimate weapon, what one scientist involved referred to as
―more dangerous than atomic destruction‖, has led to thousands of human beings again
being used as one uses laboratory animals.[Should we wonder any longer why we are sick?DC]
McCarthyism
A climate of incredible fear was instilled in Americans during the McCarthy hearings that
sought to root out communist infiltration of American government and society.
This
witch hunt that ruined the lives of thousands of loyal Americans was in essence a
counterinsurgency operation waged against elements of society that were deemed as
disloyal, or "red".
The anti-Communist hysteria was whipped up in a time of uncertainty
and fear of the USSR. Loyal Americans who held dissident or "leftist" leanings were
targeted for destruction, in effect an "American purge" in the style of the show trials and
purges in the USSR during the 1930‘s.
State Department employees and progressive
writers in Hollywood were the primary targets of public and private smear campaigns
that painted moderate and liberal personalities as disloyal and treasonous.
High profile
personalities like actors and directors, as well as loyal progressive citizens trying to
promote positive change in society were singled out and accused of being communist
agents engaged in an effort to subvert Democracy.
Society was filled with the fear of
being singled out as disloyal or of being perceived as insufficiently anti-communist in
attitude. Loyalty oaths were mandatory for many people to sign in order to keep their
jobs.
The conformity of thought demanded by the anti-communist purges were eerily
similar to those imposed on communist Totalitarian societies that the US was in
opposition to.
Senator Joseph R. McCarthy was a little-known junior senator from
Wisconsin until February 1950 when he claimed to possess a list of 205 card-carrying
Communists employed in the U.S. Department of State.
From that moment Senator
McCarthy became a tireless crusader against Communism in the early 1950s, a period
that has been commonly referred to as the "Red Scare."
As chairman of the Senate
Permanent Investigation Subcommittee, Senator McCarthy conducted hearings on
communist subversion in America and investigated alleged communist infiltration of the
Armed Forces.
His subsequent exile from politics coincided with a conversion of his
name into a modern English noun "McCarthyism," or adjective, "McCarthy tactics,"
when describing similar witch hunts in recent American history. The dictionary gives
the definition of McCarthyism as:
1. The political practice of publicizing accusations of
disloyalty or subversion with insufficient regard to evidence.
2. The use of methods of
investigation and accusation regarded as unfair, in order to suppress opposition.] Senator
McCarthy was censured by the U.S. Senate on December 2, 1954 and died May 2, 1957.
Operation Paperclip
Following the conclusion of the war, the U.S. Naval Technical Mission was tasked with
obtaining pertinent industrial and scientific material that had been produced by the Third
Reich and which may be of benefit to U.S. interests. Following a lengthy report, the Navy
instigated Project CHATTER in 1947.
Many of the Nazi scientists and medical doctors
who conducted hideous experiments were later recruited by the U.S. Army and worked
out of Heidelberg prior to being secretly relocated to the United States under the Project
PAPERCLIP program.
Under the leadership of Dr. Hubertus Strughold, 34 ex-Nazi
scientists accepted "Paperclip" contracts, authorized by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and
were put to work at Randolph Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas.
By 1953 the CIA,
U.S. Navy and the U.S. Army Chemical Corps were conducting their own narco-hypnosis
programs on unwilling victims that included prisoners, mental patients, foreigners, ethnic
minorities and those classified as sexual deviants.
The Nuremberg Tribunal brought to light that some of the most respected figures in the
medical profession were involved in the vast crime network of the SS. Only 23 persons
were charged with criminal activity in this area, despite the fact that hundreds of medical
personnel were involved.
The defendants were charged with crimes against humanity.
They were found guilty of planning and executing experiments on humans without their
consent, in a cruel and brutal manner which involved severe torture, deliberate murder
and with the full knowledge of the gravity of their deeds.
Only seven of the defendants
were sentenced to death and hanged, others received life sentences.
Five who were
involved in the experiments were not tried.
There were 200 German medical doctors conducting these medical experiments.
Most of
these doctors were friends of the United States before the war, and despite their inhuman
experiments, the U.S. attempted to rebuild a relationship with them after the war.
The
knowledge the Germans had accumulated at the expense of human life and suffering, was
considered a "booty of war", by the Americans and the Russians. The Americans tracked
down Dr. Strughold, the aviation doctor who was in charge of the Dachau experiments.
With full knowledge that the experiments were conducted on captive humans, the U.S.
recruited the doctors to work for them.
despicable
General Dwight D. Eisenhower gave his personal
approval to exploit the work and research of the Nazi's in the death camps. The German
doctors were brought to the U.S. and went to work for Project Paperclip. All these
doctors had been insulated against war crime charges.
The Nuremberg prosecutors were
shocked that U.S. authorities were using the German doctors despite their criminal past.
Under the leadership of Strughold, 34 scientists accepted contracts from Project
Paperclip, and were moved to Randolph Air Force Base at San Antonio, Texas.[I doubt that since the prosecutor was American DC]
The
authorization to hire these Nazi scientists came directly for the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The
top military brass stated that they wished to exploit these rare minds. Project Paperclip,
ironically, would use Nazi doctors to develop methods of interrogating German prisoners
of war. As hostilities began to build after the war between the Americans and the
Russians, the U.S. imported as many as 9,000 former Nazi scientists and technicians.
In
1969, Americans landed on the moon, and two groups of scientist in the control center
shared the credit, the rocket team from Peenemunde, Germany, under the leadership of
Werner von Braun, these men had perfected the V-2s which were built in the Nordhausen
caves where 20,000 slave laborers from prison camp Dora had been worked to death.
The
second group were the space doctors, lead by Dr. Hubertus Strughold, whose work was
pioneered in Experimental Block No. 5 of the Dachau concentration camp and the torture
and death of hundreds of inmates.
The torture chambers that were used to slowly kill the
prisoners of the Nazi's were the test beds for the apparatus that protected Neil Armstrong
from harm, from lack of oxygen, and pressure, when he walked on the moon.
Despite our lessons from Nuremberg and the death camps, the CIA, U.S. Navy, Air
Force, and the U.S. Army Chemical Corps targeted specific groups of people for
experimentation who were not able to resist, prisoners, mental patients, foreigners, ethnic
minorities, political dissidents, sex deviants, the terminally ill, children and U.S. military
personnel and prisoners of war. They violated the Nuremberg Code for conducting and
subsidizing experiments on unwitting citizens.
The CIA began its mind control projects
in 1953, the very year that the U.S. signed the Nuremberg Code and pledged with the
international community of nations to respect basic human rights and to prohibit experimentation on captive populations without full and free consent. (Harry V. Martin)
(Marks)
Reinhardt Gehlen
Hitler's spy chief for the eastern front created a network of agents inside Russia and the
Eastern Block during WWII.
According to Victor Marchetti, former CIA chief of Soviet
strategic war plans and capabilities, "The Gehlen Organization was the one group that did
have networks inside Eastern Europe, and that is why we hired them."
Hiring Gehlen
was the biggest mistake the US ever made. Our allies said, "You are putting Nazis at the
senior levels of your intelligence, and they were right."
The Gehlen organization was the
primary source of intelligence that claimed that, "The Soviets were about to attack West
Germany…that was the biggest bunch of baloney then and it is still a bunch of baloney
today."
Gehlen had to make his money by creating a threat that we were afraid of, "so we
would give him more money to tell us about it."
"In my opinion, the Gehlen
Organization provided nothing worthwhile for understanding or estimating Soviet
military or political capabilities in Eastern Europe or anywhere else."
The Gehlen
organization had been penetrated by Soviet intelligence and many of the US Nazi assets
were now double agents, taking CIA wages and turning around and selling information to
the enemy.
Gehlen had a major sponsor in CIA director Allen Dulles who facilitated the
Paperclip "rat lines" that brought former Nazis into the country.
Gehlen wrote out the
equivalent of the daily presidential briefing for Dulles who often placed it directly before
Truman with few changes. The tenor of the Cold War owes much to this very influential
source of information. [Like a bad dream huh? DC]
Gehlen was instrumental in the early formation of the CIA and did
not retire until 1969. Gehlen set up and ran the West German CIA (BND) that used his
contacts in secret Nazi organizations like the Thule and The Spider to sell arms to third
world hot spots.
Otto Skorzeny (Scarface) was a hero of the fatherland and an agent of
Gehlen‘s who set up arms smuggling operations as well as murder incorporated type
operations. Skorzeny helped found the Merex Company to peddle arms and had close
ties to the Virginia-based Interarms Company run by the CIA.
US special forces were
formed and trained by Skorzeny to emulate the Nazi special forces known as werewolves.
When the OSS was disbanded and the CIA formed, it was married to the Eastern Block
network of Nazi sympathizers run by Gehlen, in effect the CIA at that point was the
Gehlen organization. (Christopher Simpson, Blowback pg 55)
Operation Mockingbird:
The National Security Act of 1947 was written by Democratic insider Clark Clifford in
an effort to contain Communism and save Democracy. The 1947 NSA Act has in fact
undermined the Republic to an extent unimaginable.
Part of this sabotage of Democracy
was the subversion of the free press by Operation Mockingbird. The CIA was charged
with controlling the public debate and thus controlling public opinion in the US.
The
CIA began a very expensive operation to buy up the corporate press and in effect,
program public opinion.
Early in 1955, 25 newspapers had consented to act as sources of
right wing propaganda. Men with reactionary views that agreed to front for the CIA
propaganda mill included William Paley (CBS), C.D. Jackson (Fortune), Henry Luce
(Time), A.H. Sulzberger (N.Y. Times). The Congress of Cultural Freedom (CCF) was
the CIA cut out that began operations in June 1950. Respected "liberal" journalist Tom Braden was the founder of CCF and later became a co-host of CNN‘s Crossfire opposite
Ultracon Pat Buchanan.
In Europe the CIA financed about 20 periodicals, driving many
legitimate ones out of business. In 1967 the source of CCF funds (CIA) and its influence
over intellectual life was made public in Europe, exposing a literary bay of pigs. Melvin
Lasky, a former Army captain and editor of the influential magazine named Encounter
had, for the last 32 years, shaped the careers of many influential foreign policy experts
and intelligence officers. In 1965 the CCF was renamed Forum World Features and
purchased by another CIA cut out, the publisher of the International Herald Tribune. The
CIA, in collaboration with USIA published over a thousand books of anti-Soviet
propaganda by 1967. Global propaganda cost the CIA one third of their covert
operations budget. Disinformation cost taxpayers $265 million a year by 1978, a budget
larger than the expenditures of Reuters, UPI, and AP, engaging 3,000 salaried and
contract CIA employees.
Only the largest advertisers on television spend these vast sums
of money, so the CIA may have only General Motors and a few others to compete with.
In 1954 CapCities (ABC) was formed by investors with Mafia and CIA connections,
whose chief council was William Casey, a former director of the CIA. In 1952, at MCA,
Actors Guild president Ronald Reagan allowed the Mob controlled company a labor
monopoly and in exchange Reagan was made part owner of MCA. In 1987 the N.Y.
Times reported that Reagan fed the names of suspect people in his organization to the
FBI secretly and regularly enough to be assigned ―an informer‘s code number, "T-10". His FBI file indicates intense collaboration with producers to "purge" the industry of
subversives.
Fox television has its roots in Metromedia Co., founded by German born John Kluge, an
Army intelligence officer in WWII. Kluge bought his first radio station in 1946 and went
on to become one of the world‘s richest men with a personal fortune of $5.6 billion.
Franklin Murphy is the CEO of Times Mirror Square, the parent company of the Los
Angeles Times. He is also a member of the Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board, Federal
Commission on Government Security, National War College, and US Air Force Air
University. His ties to the CIA and Pentagon are conflicts of interest. The editorial pages
of the paper are planted with "scholars" from "think tanks" cranking out opinions to
program public opinion for military industrial clients.
The American Enterprise Institute
draws heavily on "scholars" from the intelligence pool. The Asian studies director is
James Lilly, a veteran of the NSC and director of operations at CIA with 27 years
experience. Former DCIA William Colby of the Phoenix Program was "an old friend".
The CIA‘s infiltration of the press by the late 1950‘s was such a success that the
executive branch established a propaganda machine of its own, Operation Candor, for
creating a "national will" in support of military objectives.
The Pike Hearings revealed
the takeover of the American press by the CIA virtual government and was told by the
CIA special council "Pike will pay for this you wait and see. Any political ambitions that
Senator Pike had in N.Y. are through. We will destroy him for this". Pike and Church,
who investigated the CIA, were both defeated in bids for re-election, due largely to
adverse publicity from MOCKINGBIRD‘s Op-Ed branch. (Constantine VG pg41)
Operation Northwoods
The Joint Chiefs of Staff was the source of the plan known as Operation Northwoods.
General Lemnitzer, who was considered a master planner, was upset with the Kennedy Administrations stance towards Communism in general, and Cuba in particular.
In the
name of anticommunism they proposed launching a secret and bloody war of terrorism
against their own country in order to trick the American public into supporting an ill conceived
war they intended to launch against Cuba.
The plan which had the written
approval of every member of the JC‘s , called for innocent people to be shot down on
American streets in a sniper campaign, people would be framed for bombings they didn't commit, civilian airliners would be hijacked, and much more. Lemnitzer and the other
Chiefs knew that there was only one option left that would ensure their war.
They would
have to trick the American public and world opinion into hating Cuba so much that they
would not only go along, but would insist that he and his generals launch their war
against Castro. "World opinion and the United Nations forum", said a secret JCS
document, "should be favorably affected by developing the international image of the
Cuban government as rash, irresponsible, and as an alarming and unpredictable threat to
the peace of the Western Hemisphere."
This was one of the most corrupt plans ever
created by the US government. Lemnitzer and the JCS were heavily politicized, joining
Far Right Wing political organizations and holding seminars on bases.
The Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, in a report on the problem of right-wing extremism in the
military, warned that there was "considerable danger" in the "education and propaganda
activities of military personnel."
"Running through all of them is a central theme that the
primary, if not exclusive, danger to this country is internal Communist Infiltration."
The "thesis of the nature of the Communist threat often is developed by equating social
legislation with socialism, and the latter with Communism…much of the administration‘s
(Kennedy) domestic legislative programs, including graduated income tax, social
security, Federal aid to education, etc. under this philosophy would be characterized as
steps toward Communism." Finally the committee specifically pointed to General
Limnitzer and called for an examination of the relationship between him, his Chiefs, and
the extreme right groups.
McNamara demoted Lemnitzer and transferred him to Europe
as chief of NATO, Gerald Ford promoted the darling of the Republican right to the
President‘s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board, while his Cuba chief, General Craig,
became chief of the NSA‘s military arm, the Army Security Agency. (Bamford pg83)
FOUR
MKULTRA
Soviet and Chinese
Brainwashing techniques:
By the end of the Korean War, 70% of the 7,190 US POW‘s signed confessions, 15%
cooperated fully, and only 5% steadfastly resisted confession or indoctrination.
Wolf
and Hinkle submitted a secret report to Director of Central Intelligence, Allen Dulles,
about communist methods of brainwashing that was the definitive work on the subject in
1953.
It stated that no magical weapons were used, no drugs, exotic mental ray-guns, or
machines were used. Intense psychological pressure and human weakness were the key,
beginning with solitary confinement.
Guards constantly reminded the prisoner that he
was totally cut off from outside support, ordered him to stand for long periods, dictated
the position allowed for sleep, waking him if he moved while sleeping, banned all outside
stimuli such as books, conversation or news of the outside world.
After 4-6 weeks the
prisoner would break down, "He weeps, he mutters, and prays aloud in his cell". At this stage the interrogation began in a special room. The guard told him that he knew his own
crimes,all too well. The prisoner is in the position of trying to prove his innocence to he
knew not what. The interrogator and the prisoner bond in their shared ransacking of the
captives soul.
As the interrogation proceeded the prisoner realized that he could end his
ordeal only with a full confession. "The prisoner feels the something must be done to
end this",
"He must find a way out".
According to a KGB man, more than 99 percent of
prisoners sign a confession at this stage. Then the subject was either shot or sent to a
labor camp after sentencing. Chinese techniques would move on to re-education of
prisoners by moving them into a group cell for political indoctrination.
Incessant study
of Marx and Mao, lectures, and self-criticism led to conversion by group pressure.
Prisoners demonstrated their commitment by ferociously attacking any deviations.
Constant intimacy with prisoners who reviled him for his resistance pushed the prisoner
beyond his emotional endurance.
As the prisoner conformed, cellmates gave increased
acceptance and esteem, which reinforced his commitment to the Party, for he learned that
only his acceptance allowed him to live successfully in the cell.
The American mind
control effort was a mini Manhattan Project with the conviction that the keys to
brainwashing lay in technology. The Agency‘s brainwashing experts gravitated to people
in the mold of the brilliant and sometimes mad scientist, obsessed by the wonders of the
brain. (Marks)
MKULTRA USA 1953
In 1953 CIA officer Richard Helms chose Dr. Sidney Gottlieb to run the TSS, (Technical
Service Staff). TSS was given the job of developing poisons to assassinate political
opponents, truth serum drugs for interrogating spies, and mind control techniques to
create robot assassins, or unwitting double agents.
Gottlieb used Nazi scientists and their
state of the art mind control techniques that had been perfected in concentration camps
using victims of the Holocaust.
Operation Paperclip recruited 9,000 Nazi scientists to
help the US destroy the USSR. Some of these scientists were known as programmers,
people skilled in the art of breaking down and controlling the human mind.
Joseph
Mengele and others experimented extensively with children and adults using mescaline, electroshock therapy, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, torture, rape, starvation, and trauma
bonding. Mengele was so successful using the technique of trauma bonding that
survivors today still exhibit a profound affection for their torturer, referring to Mengele as "beautiful Joseph".
Dr. Greenbaum (Dr. L. Wilson Greene) was a Jewish doctor who the
Nazi‘s coerced to participate in their experiments at Auschwitz. This individual, whose
code name was Dr. Green, came to the US after WWII and began to experiment on adults
and children for the military and CIA.
The military and CIA copied the Nazi
methodology and began numerous programs of their own. The first CIA program was
known as MKULTRA, the MK is an abbreviation for the German words for mind
control.
To avoid confusion, the dozens of mind control operations will be referred to
generically as MKULTRA. According to MKULTRA documents and sources, the
methodology of mind control works best when severe trauma is administered by the age
of three years old.
Severe trauma, such as rape, applied at the age of three will cause the
personality to split or dissociate in an attempt to shield the mind from memories of events
too painful to endure. The psychiatric term is dissociative identity disorder and can be
produced accidentally or purposefully. The Three Faces of Eve is the story of multiple personality disorder or MPD (DID) that had been created by childhood abuse.
The Palle
Hardup case is an example of a purposefully created MPD that was used to create a robot
assassin. MPD can be created by a therapist in an effort manipulate the human mind.
Psychic trauma and creation of multiple personalities may be caused by the ritual
sacrifice of animals and humans, trauma causes the dissociation.
The programmer will
use triggers and hypnosis to call forth the created personality, known as an alter
personality.
Only 20% of the general population is easily hypnotizable, but trauma at an
early age makes people vulnerable to dissociation, and thus hypnotizable.
Typically the
programmer might wear a rabbit suit and sacrifice a rabbit in front of the child victims.
The image of the rabbit, a phrase from Alice in Wonderland, or similar paired images are
used as the triggers to call forth the alter personality.
The method works best when the
trauma is repeated around six years of age. A few years later the child victims IQ test
and personality tests are evaluated to determine whether the child may be trained in
assassination, sexual blackmail, drug courier, or other role.
Years later, the subject may
be hypnotized and used for operations but would be consciously aware of the sense of
lost time only.
Gottlieb concentrated on the use of LSD for mind control, and exotic
poisons and drugs for political assassinations. He gave LSD to an unknowing fellow
scientist Frank Olsen, who worked for the Army Chemical Corps‘ Special Operations
Division (SOD) at Fort Detrick, developing biological weapons. Olsen committed
suicide by jumping through a window on the 10th floor of a hotel. Gottlieb concealed his
actions and the Olsen family was unaware of the cause of his suicide until 27 years later
when the facts emerged during hearings on CIA abuses.
The link between Gottlieb and
Olsen illustrates how the development of different elements of mind control are
intertwined with biological and chemical weapons development, radiation testing, and the
building of Manchurian Candidates. (Ross pg 101)
During hearings in the 1970‘s Congress uncovered the fact that the CIA gave LSD to
thousands of unwitting US adults and children for 11 years in an effort to perfect mind
control techniques, before dropping the technique in favor of more technologically
advanced methods.
Besides the death of bioweapons expert Frank Olsen, the death of the
world‘s best tennis player (Harold Blum) resulted from a mescaline overdose
administered by doctors experimenting in mind control research. How many other deaths
and injuries resulted besides these high profile cases will never be known.
MKULTRA
had 149 subprojects that encompassed nearly every aspect of human behavior and social
science.
In the 1977 Senate hearings former CIA director Stansfield Turner stated that
the program took place at 80 institutions, including 44 universities, 15 private companies,
12 hospitals and 3 prisons.
The areas explored included radiation, electroshock,
paramilitary devices and materials, anthropology, graphology, psychiatry, psychology,
and sociology." (Marks)
MKULTRA
Subproject 119 was the foundation of all non-lethal weapons programs
currently active and included a summary of five areas:
A: Bioelectric sensors: sources of significant electrical potential and methods of pick-up.
B: Recording: amplification, electronic tape and other multi-channel recording.
C: Analysis: auto correlators, spectrum analyzers, etc., and coordination with automatic
data processing equipment.
D: Standardization of data correlation with biochemical, physiological and behavioral
indices.
E: Techniques of activation of the human organism by remote electronic means.
This memo was dated August 17, 1960 and when viewed with other evidence that was
not destroyed, shows significant interest in radio frequency (RF) weapons and direct
control of human behavior at a distance. This aspect of the research is where the greatest
modern emphasis has been, rather than chemical or biological agents, both of which
violate existing treaties. (Begich pg67) (Ross pg105)
Allen Dulles
Allen Dulles and his brother, John Foster Dulles designed the CIA for Clark Clifford, the
author of the NSA act of 1947. Allen Dulles had been the top OSS agent in Switzerland
during the war, where he met frequently with Nazi officials and monitored US
investments in Germany. He held an executive position with Standard Oil.
The Dulles
brothers were both partners in the Wall Street firm of Sullivan and Cromwell, still the
most powerful firm of its kind. John Foster would go on to be Secretary of State for
Eisenhower, while Allen was head of the CIA.
Allen Dulles was fired by Kennedy in
1961 after the failed Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba. Allen Dulles became the lead
investigator of the Warren Commission that found Oswald to be the lone gunman.
(Rupert pg53)
Dr. George Estabrooks was prominent in the American hypnosis scene from the 1920s
to the 1970s, head of Colgate University's Department of Psychology. He published over
sixty articles and several books on hypnosis.
Estabrooks expertise was used by both the
OSS and the FBI. As soon the OSS began, George Estabrooks (b. 1885, d. 1973) started
traveling to Washington, D.C. Estabrooks viewed persons who were susceptible to
hypnosis, 20% 0f the general population, as fodder for any hypnotist's notion of higher
purpose, be it research, profit, patriotism, or his own personal entertainment.
His attitude
echoed that of Dr. Cook who, in 1927, advised beginning hypnotists to boldly develop a
stable of hypnotic subjects: First secure a good subject and practice upon him until you
can hypnotize him with absolutely no difficulty, and then place him in the profound
[somnambulistic/amnesic] stages of hypnosis...Next secure two or three more subjects
and develop them, and thus gradually add to the number. (Cook, p. 125)
The hypnotic
state is referred to as somnambulistic/amnesic by Dr. Cook, because the subject was
unaware of the missing time and unknowing of his "other life," the time he spent under
hypnosis.
Estabrooks promoted the use of hypno programmed spies by both the military
and police. He suggested that police agents could gather information from "the criminal
class." If allowed a free hand, the authorities could proceed to plant such prepared
subjects... always with the idea of obtaining information which might, sooner or later, be
of real use to the police. (Hypnotism, p. 191)
During WWII, Estabrooks claimed to have
created unwitting couriers. US soldiers were hypnotized and a second shell personality
was created and given a detailed message. The soldier reported to his contact, was
hypnotized again, and gave his secret message. The couriers were unaware of their
mission and could not knowingly divulge its contents. Estabrooks stated that this and
other mind control programs were operational during WWII. Estabrooks envisioned an
elaborate infiltration operation of a foreign government, targeting key officials who could
control events in that nation.
Unknowing hypnotic subjects could be placed in key
positions and could be controlled without their being aware. Assassins who were
programmed to kill, would do so with no memory of the act or their motivation.
This was verified by an MKULTRA subproject that put two 19 year old girls under hypnosis,
Convincing one of the girls that she was to wake her friend, and if she did not wake, to
pick up a pistol and shoot her. The girl did exactly that and denied the deed when she was
brought out of hypnosis.
Estabrooks described in detail what it would take to program an
unknowing subject. He estimated that ten hours of programming would be enough to
accomplish his basic intention, but he recommended a ten month regimen for
personalities that were to be highly split and specially trained.
He described a method for programming a double agent, whose unconscious mind would
be loyal to his country, but whose conscious mind would be loyal to whatever country
that was being infiltrated and reported on. In his normal waking state, which we will call
Personality A, or PA, this individual will become a rabid communist. He will join the
party, follow the party line and make himself as objectionable as possible to the US
authorities.
Then we develop Personality B (PB), the secondary personality, the
unconscious personality...is rabidly American and anticommunist. It has all the
information possessed by Personality A, the normal personality, whereas PA does not
know about the shell personality B. "My super spy plays his role as a communist in the
waking state, aggressively, consistently, fearlessly. But his PB is a loyal American, and
PB has all the memories of PA. As a loyal American, he will not hesitate to divulge these
memories." (Ibid., p. 200)
Dr. Ewen Cameron
Dr. Ewen Cameron was president of the American and Canadian Psychiatric
Associations. He ran the Allan Memorial Institute, which was founded in 1943 with
funds from the Rockefeller Foundation.
Cameron studied the Nazi‘s at the Nuremberg trials and eventually became one of most
influential and powerful psychiatrists in the world. Nazi Paperclip scientists made their
way into the CIA and military sponsored mind control programs here in the United States
and Canada.
Some of these scientists according to Colonel L. Fletcher Prouty, were
friends of Dr. Cameron. "If you get a hold of a directory for the American Psychiatric
Association in around 1956 or 1957, you‘ll be surprised to find that an enormous
percentage of the individuals listed are foreign-born. Mostly they came out of Germany
and Eastern Europe in a big wave. They were all called technical specialists", but really
they were psychiatrists.
They went into jobs at universities mostly, but many were
working on these unconventional "mind control programs for U.S. intelligence…these
would go to people like Dr. Cameron in Canada." (Constantine pg3)
Money for Cameron‘s operation came from the CIA funneled through Cornell‘s Society
for the Investigation of Human Ecology. The systematic annihilation, or depatterning of
a subjects mind and memory was accomplished with overdoses of LSD, barbiturate sleep
for 65 days at a stretch and ECT shocks at 75 times the recommended dosage.
Psychic
driving, the repetition of a recorded message for 16-20 hours a day, programmed the
empty mind.
The Grid Room was where the patient was forcibly strapped to a chair,
paralyzed with a dose of curare, head covered in electrodes and transducers.
The subject's brain waves were beamed to a nearby reception room filled with radio receivers,
voice analyzers, and recorders. Cameron‘s employee, Rubenstein was serious when he
said that Dr. Cameron and himself would one day become the world‘s authorities on
continuous radio telemetry of human activity.
The lanky twenty-eight-year-old ex-Army
signalman envisioned the time would come when "there would be no secrets of the mind that we cannot probe electrically." All the psychiatrist had to do was ensure a continuous
supply of patients and the wisecracking Cockney would create the electronic equipment
that "would enter the deepest corners of their minds."
Dr. Cameron had accepted the
technician‘s claim without quibble. Cameron had finally given the go-ahead for part of
the institute‘s basement to be turned into a radio telemetry laboratory.
Rubenstein
enthused that its purpose would be not only to measure behavioral activity of patients
more closely, but would also provide the groundwork for a system that could be used to
monitor human activity at a point remote from the subject under study.
In other words,
Rubenstein had added, "we‘ll develop a system that will keep tabs on people without
their knowing what we‘re getting from them."
Cameron and Rubenstein considered this
telemetry lab the foundation of a sprawling psycho political Apparat "that will keep tabs
on people without their knowing". (Gordon Thomas)
The Canadian government settled a class action lawsuit by 250 former patients of Dr.
Cameron, but no person or institution has ever been disciplined or punished for these
activities. Linda McDonald was 25 years old in 1963 when Dr. Cameron treated her for
mild post-partum depression. She received 102 ECT treatments, 80 days of drug induced
sleep, and emerged completely depatterned…totally incontinent, unable to state her
name, recognize her husband and children. She had to relearn how drive, cook, read, and
use a toilet. Eventually, unlike many patients of Cameron, she made a complete
recovery, but still has no memory of the first 25 years of her life. Cameron was the
premier psychiatrist of the 20th Century and having studied Nazi scientists at the
Nuremberg trials, replicated many of their methods and sought their assistance in the race
to control the human mind. Cameron‘s mind control experiments were one program out
of many programs run by the CIA, Navy, Air Force, Army and others. (Kieth pg 91)
MKULTRA
1960’s, 1970’s:
Richard Helms was picked by CIA director John
McCone to run the dirty tricks department after the Bay of Pigs. Helms became
DCI in 1966, destroying the archive on MKULTRA when he left in 1972.
Helms
was a product of the eastern establishment, his grandfather was president of the
Federal Reserve and had interviewed Hitler as a UP reporter. Helms, in the
tradition of Gottlieb, was a Machiavellian character that used Paperclip scientists,
and would stop at nothing to win.
He advocated low intensity warfare
transmitting strategic subliminal messages to the brains of enemy populations. He
advocated the use of high frequencies to affect memory and the unconscious
mind.
In a 1964 memo to the Warren Commission he mentions "biological radio
communication": "Cybernetics can be used in molding of a child‘s character, the
inculcation of knowledge and techniques, the amassing of experience, the
establishment of social behavior patterns…all functions which can be summarized
as control of the growth processes of the individual." (Begich)
Dr. Stephen Aldrich
Dr. Stephen Aldrich took control of the Office of Research and Development (ORD) in
1962 from Gottlieb. Aldrich started Operation Often, an investigation into the occult
with the help of Houston sorceress Sybil Leek. CIA behaviorists carefully studied every
aspect of the occult underground. In 1972 the Scientific Engineering Institute (SEI)
sponsored a course at the University of South Carolina in rituals of demonology and voodoo. SEI was a CIA cut out that had been set up in 1956 to study radar. In 1962 SEI
set up a lab to study the effects of electrodes deep in the brain. Aldrich focused on
remote brain manipulation and the occult, the thread that runs through SEI. In 1963 a
CIA manual focused on Radio-Hypnotic Intracerebral Control (RHIC) that was
developed by the Pentagon. "When a part of your brain receives a tiny electrical impulse
from outside sources, such as vision, hearing, etc., an emotion is produced, anger at the
sight of a gang of boys beating an old woman, for example. The same emotions of anger
can be created by artificial radio signals sent to your brain by a controller. You could
instantly feel the same white hot anger without any apparent reason."
The term
Electronic Dissolution of Memory (EDOM) refers to the ability to erase memory at a
distance. Dr. Jose Delgado announced on May 6, 1965 at a closed lecture at the
American Museum of Natural History "science has developed a new electrical
methodology for the study and control of cerebral function in animals and humans."
Project Pandora
In 1965 it was discovered that the US embassy in Moscow was being hit with
electromagnetic radiation in the microwave spectrum, but the fact was kept secret from
the embassy employees.
Ambassador Stoessel contracted a blood disease, bleeding eyes,
nausea, and eventually lymphoma. He and other employees eventually died as a result of
the microwave attack. Henry Kissinger sent a secret memo giving hazard pay to embassy
personnel in the 70‘s after the secret was exposed in a Jack Anderson column.
It is
possible that the US government used the embassy staff as microwave guinea pigs. The
DOD‘s Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) set up a lab at Walter Reed Army
Institute of Research and participated in Project Pandora.
Scientists began by zapping
monkeys to study the biological effects of highly concentrated microwave frequencies.
(Constantine pg9)
Similar studies were conducted at the V.A. hospital in Kansas City,
Univ. of Rochester, Brooks Air Force Base in Texas, Johns Hopkins, MIT, the Mitre
corp., Univ. of Pennsylvania, and many other domestic and foreign research labs.
The
CIA began experimenting with other forms of directed energy in the EM spectrum. Dr.
Jose Delgado experimented on four human subjects using radio waves, reporting they
experienced different emotions, sensations, and "colored visions".
Delgado stated that
these weapons were "more dangerous than atomic destruction." With knowledge of the
brain, he said, "We may transform, we may shape, direct, robotize man. I think the great
danger of the future is…that we will have robotized human beings who are not aware
they have been robotized."
Delgado was in fact responsible for the development of a
brain transponder that was used to robotize human subjects.
Dr. Jose Delgado
Delgado came to Yale University in 1950 and received CIA funds through the Office of
Naval Intelligence. He perfected the stimoceiver, an electronic brain implant used to
transmit electrical impulses directly to the brain, one version of which uses a radio signal
to remotely deliver electrical stimulation of the brain.
In one experiment Delgado
remotely stimulates the brain of a normal eleven year old boy who becomes confused
about his sexual identity, and proceeds to tell Dr. Delgado he wants to marry him.
In
1975 Delgado published "Two way Communication with the Brain" that explained his
success at linking the implants directly to computers with the "ability to perform simultaneous recording and stimulation of brain functions, thereby permitting the
establishment of feedbacks and on-demand programs of excitation with the aid of the
computer".
This allowed "Long-term EEG in unrestrained patients", "provide
information directly to the brain, circumventing normal sensory receptors", "Communication from the brain to computer and back to the brain", "Clinical
applications to humans of on-demand programs of stimulation, triggered by
predetermined electrical pattern". (Kieth pg100)
33s
By the 1980‘s Delgado emphasized changing brainwave patterns and physiology through
electromagnetic broadcasting that could be utilized at up to three kilometers. In an
interview he stated "This new knowledge is so important that I think is should radically
change the philosophy of our education system, which believes in the sanctity of
individuals, thinking that an individual exists at birth. This belief is not true… and this
science is going to prove the fallacy of democracy in the sense that we talk about the
rights of the individual; this democratic belief is not true". "Looking into the future, it
may be predicted that telerecording and telestimulation of the brain will be widely used".
(Kieth pg 101)
From 1948 until 1956 he was Chief, Psychiatry Service, 3700th USAF Hospital, Lackland AFB in San Antonio, Texas…not far from Brooks AFB, which houses the Albertus Strughold Library. In 1973 West proposed to then Governor Reagan the creation of a "Center for the Study and Reduction of Violence". Abandoned missile bases were to be the location for "programs for the alteration of undesirable behavior". West identified the factors of violent behavior as ―sex (male), age (youth), ethnicity (black), and urbanicity‖. West planned for the California State Police to share a database that would keep track of ―pre-delinquent‖ children in order to treat them before they became delinquents. One critic at UCLA said, ―They‘re employing the psychiatric armamentarium and a new technological tool set-what has come to be known as psycho-technology. Under the guise of therapeutic behavior modification they‘re applying anything from (the terror drug) Anectine and other aversive drugs to psychosurgery‖. West examined Jack Ruby after the Kennedy assassination and pronounced him mentally ill despite Ruby‘s claims of a conspiracy. Dr. West was the chief medical officer involved in remote viewing projects such as Project Grill Flame. Late in life West became associated with the Cult Awareness Network, which was founded by a former aide to Reagan.

Dr. Louis Jolyon “Jolly” West
Air Force Major Louis Jolyon "Jolly" West joined MKULTRA early, concentrating on
LSD studies, the most famous of which was a lethal LSD overdose injected into an
elephant named Tusko. West lived in Haight-Ashbury in 1967, ostensibly to study the
hippie in his native habitat. West was in charge of the Dept. of Psychiatry at UCLA, and
director of the Neuro-Psychiatric Institute until his death in 1999. From 1948 until 1956 he was Chief, Psychiatry Service, 3700th USAF Hospital, Lackland AFB in San Antonio, Texas…not far from Brooks AFB, which houses the Albertus Strughold Library.
