The Unification Epicenter of True Lightworkers

Project Camalot - Important Information RE: New Army of Cybers

The most informative and valuable series you'll ever see. Duncan O'Finioan, a product of Cyberdyne and the C I A black ops, along with the elite demand for a Private Army, children are being stolen to create super-human capabilities in strength and a pure 'killer force.' The sooner the word is out, the better as they plan on using them against Americans. There are 10 of these, from Project Camelot. If you've never believed the Terminator movie was a reality, I sure hope you can believe it now. There is such a place called Cyberdyne, advanced technology. Google it...it's all over the net. Listen to how they created people with multiple personalities and how these men were part of Project Talent. Duncan O'Finioan was the Ultimate Warrior... brainwashed, conditioned and controlled as part of a highly classified MK-ULTRA program called PROJECT TALENT. From a thousand others trained as child warriors in 1966, he is now, he believes, only one of 20 left alive to tell the story.In his powerful and compelling testimony for the camera one of the most extraordinary we have ever heard Duncan describes:

• His mission to terminate the very drunk, future President of the United States...George W. Bush

• His dizzying enhanced physical and psychic abilities... including the abilities to hurl someone across the room with his mind, and walk through a solid wall

• How he and 11 other children were flown to Cambodia to deliver a targeted death blow to all the surrounding Khmer Rouge troops... using only the combined power of their minds
• How his right arm is hardwired and is capable of astonishing speed and strength
• His struggle to regain his memory, aided by a car accident which led to the discovery of a cranial implant uncovered by an MRI machine... deactivating the implant and causing the MRI machine to catch fire
• His role as a programmed assassin, targeting Americans under the command of an undisclosed agency
• The selection, torture, and brutal training process that he endured... and which children are undergoing to this day And more
Twenty years later, Duncan (who is of mixed Cherokee and Irish blood) comes forward to tell the truth about the Ultimate Warrior project: how he was chosen, groomed and tortured into becoming the perfect fighting machine, combining physical superiority with the extraordinary mental abilities of a psychic spy. Fearless, principled, and determined to regain control over his life, Duncan OFinioan tells his story in detail.

We only have this guy's word that he is who he says he is don't we ? He was asked by an audience member to demonstrate psi powers (eg move an object without touching it), and he says, oh I can't do that stuff.
Hi Patrick! Well, he was trained to be a killing machine, but not to develop those powers. He does have a web site, and he has archived some articles pertaining to what he's been through. In fact, I was just reading one of them when I got the nudge to check my e-mail. It's so close, I'll copy and paste it here and here's the site: http://mindcontrolforums.com/mindnet/mnindex.htm

His site is filled with archived stuff

Mind Control and the Secret State

by Daniel Brandt

Last September the CIA confirmed the existence of a 20-year,
$20 million research program in "remote viewing," a subvariety of
extrasensory perception. On October 29, a Jack Anderson column
added more details, and Ted Koppel of ABC's Nightline weighed in
with a program on November 28, by which time many newspapers and
wire services had picked up the story. By December, a number of
pundits began lamenting this additional evidence of the CIA's
protean power to waste taxpayers' money.

Curiously, "remote viewing" was an old story, first reported
by Anderson himself on 23 April 1984. Other Anderson columns of
U.S. and Soviet interest in psychic research date back to 1981.
Anderson's October 29 update reported that this project, which
for a time was contracted out to the Stanford Research Institute
(SRI), had been scaled back and put under Pentagon sponsorship,
but nevertheless continued. Although the results of these
experiments were reportedly mixed, the project retains its
defenders in Congress: Sen. Claiborne Pell (D-RI) and Rep.
Charlie Rose (D-NC). By 1995, Anderson didn't have an opinion on
the merits of this research, but his 1984 column was supportive.
On Nightline, former CIA director Robert Gates implied that
pressure from members of Congress drove the CIA's original
involvement.

Another of Ted Koppel's CIA guests, identified only as
"Norm," was a technical advisor for CIA deputy director John
McMahon and, until 1984, a coordinator for the SRI tests. "Norm"
did mention the "eight-martini" results from some experiments;
this was an in-house term for remote- viewing results so
uncannily successful that observers needed eight martinis to
recover. Still, the general impression from Koppel's show was
dismissive. Only about "fifteen percent" of the experiments,
panelists repeated, produced accurate results. Gates argued that
such research, if undertaken at all, belongs in the academy.

Not for the first time, however, there's more to this story
than Ted Koppel acknowledges.

Ingo Swann, who was involved in the SRI project from
1972-1988, is upset with the media's droll treatment of this
revived story. Swann points out that the original motivation
behind the "remote viewing" project was the fear that the Soviets
were investing significant resources in applied psychic research,
and might be making advances. At the time, at least, such a
rationale would have been considered a plausible one to justify
such a small expenditure of intelligence money. Nevertheless,
almost all mention of this element of the story, which had
figured prominently in the first wave of stories on "remote
viewing," was dropped in 1995.

Furthermore, Swann claims, the "fifteen percent" figure,
established early in the SRI project, represented the baseline
accuracy for non-gifted and untrained persons. U.S. intelligence
wanted sixty-five percent accuracy, and in the later stages of
the project, Swann claims, "this accuracy level was achieved and
often consistently exceeded." According to Swann, the key players
in the project, and the documentation supporting the real story,
remain under the strictest security constraints.

However this may be, Anderson's October 29 story reminds us
that ESP is very much alive as an object of
intelligence-community interest. In addition to "remote viewing"
(seeing people, places, and events at a distance in space and
time), another area of interest is the supposed power of "micro
psycho-kinesis" or "Micro-PK" -- the ability to affect small
objects, such as electrical systems, by using the mind. Micro-PK
is one step away from outright telekinesis, and its supposed
power has obvious attractions for the CIA. Imagine being able to
erase a computer tape from a block away, or interfere with the
avionics of a jet fighter, or detonate a warhead.

Based on the evidence that's on the public record, the dream
of harnessing such power, or even of establishing its existence,
may be somewhat optimistic.

But this fact hasn't stopped a strange band of specialists,
many of whom have government connections, from staking out
careers at the intersection of, so to speak, ESP, the Pentagon,
and the CIA: where people interested in parapsychology work with
those interested in weapons research and mind control. These
would-be psi-spooks turn up occasionally on talk shows and at
conferences on "nonlethal defense." Their ranks include companies
like PSI-TECH in Albuquerque, founded by Maj. Edward A. Dames,
and figures such as Col. John B. Alexander of the Los Alamos
National Laboratory, who was featured in the February 1995 issue
of Wired magazine. Dames and Alexander and a dozen more blend in
with spookier types who shun publicity but who show up at UFO and
New Age gatherings. One is ex-Naval Intelligence officer C.B.
Scott Jones, a former aide to Sen. Claiborne Pell.

Once again, it's likely that Ted Koppel doesn't have the
whole story. It's also likely that he wouldn't be cleared to
report it if he did. Still, the piddling pool of dollars so far
devoted to this research strongly implies that, if the figure is
accurate, intelligence-funded parapsychological research has been
a bust.

The uncounted millions the CIA has spent on mind control
suggest just the opposite. As with "remote viewing," the
attraction of a successful mind control program to the CIA is
obvious, and has long been explicitly acknowledged as such. The
"Manchurian Candidate" scenario -- in which a programmed
zombie-assassin responds to a post-hypnotic trigger, performs the
act, and does not remember it later -- is one ideal type of
successful mind control. A reliable truth serum, long the object
of a CIA quest, would be another. Both of these are operational
uses of mind control, its so-called "second front."

This term comes from former CIA director Allen Dulles. In
1953, Dulles, speaking before a national meeting of Princeton
alumni, distinguished two fronts in the then-current "battle for
men's minds": a "first front" of mass indoctrination through
censorship and propaganda, and a "second front" of individual
"brainwashing" and "brain changing." Before an audience of fellow
Ivy Leaguers, Dulles skipped the usual pieties about democracy.
The same year, Dulles approved the CIA's notorious MKULTRA
project, and exempted it from normal CIA financial controls.

The distinction between Dulles's "two fronts" eventually
becomes difficult to sustain, like the distinction between, say,
sociology and psychology. Still, this distinction can be useful
in roughing out a spectrum of known mind-control techniques.

For example, one powerful tool for inducing ideological and
behavioral change is social pressure in a controlled environment.
The "brainwashing" employed during the Korean War did not involve
the use drugs or hypnosis. The Chinese merely used the same
techniques that they employed on the population at large, but
with more intensity, greater control, and additional rewards and
punishments such as food and sleep deprivation. Yet this
frighteningly simple program was enough to crank up the
brainwashing scare in the U.S. Some researchers now suspect that
this hysterical episode had its origins in CIA-generated
propaganda, designed to give the CIA the political space needed
to research more sophisticated mind-control techniques.

Many undergraduates learn about the experiments conducted by
Solomon Asch in the 1950s, which demonstrated that expressed
opinions can be easily manipulated by social pressure, even in
obvious cases, such as whether Line A is longer than Line B on a
particular card. And Stanley Milgram showed that many unwitting
research subjects would administer a series of escalating
electric shocks to another, even to the point of an apparent
heart attack, simply because a white-coated lab assistant asked
them to continue. Milgram's research suggests that a "Manchurian
Candidate" already exists in many of us, and that all that's
required to bring him out may be a bit of propaganda. The
historical evidence for blind human obedience that could be cited
here is very familiar, and very depressing.

Still, there's evidence that Pentagon planners are uneasy
about potential unruliness among the mass populations Dulles
identified as mind control's "first front." Princeton alumni may
perhaps follow and accept arguments that U.S. interests are at
stake in Bosnia, but their sons are unlikely to be on the scene
defending those supposed interests. The urban or Appalachian
infantryman, and the family he comes from, may have other ideas.

Elite unease on this point may lie behind Pentagon
enthusiasm for the new wrinkle in military force that goes by the
name "nonlethal" or "less-than-lethal." Its very claim to embody
a "humanitarian" form of warfare is a weapon in Dulles's "battle
for men's minds."

Nonlethal technology becomes important in a discussion of
mind control, as it involves something very close to it, in a
form which might be used to control large populations. The
propaganda aspect of "humanitarian warfare" is merely a sideshow;
it's the technology itself that enlists the enthusiasm of
Pentagon planners and law enforcement officials. Much of this
"friendly force" technology involves electromagnetic fields and
directed-energy radiation, and ultrasound or infrasound weapons
-- the same technology that's currently of interest in
brain-stimulation and mind-control research.

A partial list of aggressive promoters of this new
technology includes Oak Ridge National Lab, Sandia National
Laboratories, Science Applications International Corporation,
MITRE Corporation, Lawrence Livermore National Lab, and Los
Alamos National Laboratory. In the 1996 defense authorization
bill, Congress earmarked $37.2 million to investigate nonlethal
technologies. And this money looks like a mere ante in the game.

U.S. interest in this "less-than-lethal" technology dates
back to the early 1960s, when the State Department became aware
of low-energy microwave radiation directed at the U.S. embassy in
Moscow. Under the name "Project Pandora," secret research into
the Moscow radiation continued for ten years -- before embassy
employees were informed that they were on the receiving end.
Researchers initially assumed that the microwaves were designed
to activate bugging devices. But when a large number of illnesses
were reported at the embassy, a review of Soviet scientific
journals revealed that the Soviets believed microwaves affected
cell membranes and increased the excitability of nerve cells.

Officially, the incidence of illness at the embassy was
ultimately blamed on the U.S. shortwave transmitting antenna on
the embassy roof, which leaked energy and contributed to the
unhealthy environment. Still, the secrecy surrounding Project
Pandora encouraged further speculation within the U.S.
intelligence community and elsewhere. For instance, researchers
knew that a low-energy microwave beam could be modulated with an
"audiogram," and actually convey a recognizable message into an
irradiated brain. This led some U.S. spooks to suspect that the
Soviets had been attempting to practice mind control on the
embassy staff.

Such history brings us back to the situation of the restless
public in our own jittery, pre-millennial U.S. Today, there seems
to be a dramatic increase in the number of "wavies," those who
feel they are being harassed by non-ionizing radiation such as
radio or sound waves. Nevertheless, there is little evidence to
support their belief that the secret state, despite its obvious
interest in nonlethal technology, is supporting applied research
on unsuspecting average citizens. Several alternative
explanations suggest themselves.

First of all, the treatment of mental illness over the past
few decades has changed dramatically -- from an institutional
approach, to an out-patient, community-based system that relies
on prescription drugs to control symptoms and behavior. Greater
numbers of sufferers of paranoia, freed from institutions, are
also free to exercise their First Amendment rights. Furthermore,
the power to express oneself has been enhanced by technology --
everything from personal photocopying machines and desktop
publishing, to fax machines and now the Internet. And on the
Internet, almost everyone can find soulmates.

And "wavies" can make the case that they deserve the benefit
of a doubt. Revelations about the Cold War secret state, from the
CIA documents released in the 1970s to last year's Advisory
Committee on Human Radiation Experiments (which investigated
ionizing radiation only), have produced a social environment in
which it can seem difficult to rule out anyone's claim, no matter
how paranoid-sounding. Finally, there is the modern problem of
"pollution" in the broadest sense: from electromagnetic and
chemical, and including simple noise. Human reactions to this
pollution, which is a new phenomenon in the history of our
species, apparently vary by orders of magnitude. Those who are
ultra-sensitive may feel harassed, even if no one is
intentionally targeting them.

To a disinterested observer, the claims of the "wavies" are
perhaps no more bizarre than the claims of those who have
experienced profound religious conversions. The point is not to
belittle anyone's beliefs, but rather to establish that social
factors often determine what we consider to be credible. For
thousands of years societies have found it useful to allow
sufficient space for religion. Only recently has social space
opened up for the claims of "wavies." The increase in their
numbers is thus predictable, irrespective of whether the secret
state is behind their problems or not. (It isn't, in my opinion.)

This brings us to the "second front" mentioned by Allen
Dulles in 1953: the technology of mind control applied on an
individual level. Whereas non-ionizing radiation can be
"broadcast" to large populations, techniques such as
psychosurgery, implants, and electronic stimulation of the brain
(ESB) are administered on a case-by-case basis. More exotic
techniques, whose scientific status and potential effectiveness
remain uncertain, include radio hypnotic intra-cerebral control
and hypnotic dissolution of memory (RHIC-EDOM), and the use of
induced "screen memory" and multiple personality disorder (MPD)
for cover purposes.

The closest parallel to the "wavies" within this second
front include those who feel that implants were forced on them,
sometimes during childhood. Such beliefs obviously tap deep fears
in the popular psyche. The season premier of "The X Files" showed
FBI agent Scully discovering that someone had planted a microchip
near the base of her skull. And accused Oklahoma City bomber
Timothy McVeigh apparently claims that an implant was inserted
under his skin, for tracking purposes, during the Gulf War.

Identification implants, which are passive devices that
respond to an energy source and return an identification number,
are similar to the bar codes at the checkout counter in a grocery
store. Today's pet owners can have these devices implanted in
their pets. But anyone who confuses this simple technology with a
chip that tells them what to do is already in trouble. Such a
person should consider turning off the television, logging off
the Internet, and checking out a few books from the local
library. ID technology is ominous for those concerned with
surveillance and privacy, but it has little to do with mind
control.

Granted, there are experimental "stimoceiver" implants that
can stimulate the brain through electrodes. Mind-control
enthusiast Jose Delgado became briefly famous when he stopped a
charging bull in its tracks with such a device in 1964. Even
allowing for electronic miniaturization since then, or for the
fact that finely-tuned microwaves can achieve the same results as
implanted electrodes, ESB would still seem to be impractical as a
mind-control device. At best it appears to stimulate various
emotions, and might be used for behavioral conditioning in a
controlled environment. This is still quite crude as a control
device. It would be simpler and more reliable to arrange a fatal
accident.

The combination of surveillance technology and implanted
aversion therapy conjures up the vision of a society of
victim-robots, with monitors on every utility pole and computers
administering the conditioning. But the necessary infrastructure
would be frightfully expensive.

And no doubt unnecessary. Sufficient control over the flow
of information in society can yield results very similar to those
that could be achieved by mind-control implants installed in
every individual. Thus the flaw in the reasoning of many
researchers: the mind-control techniques that have them so
worried are usually the most difficult techniques one can
possibly imagine. For those who would seek total control, plain,
old-fashioned information control -- leavened with a few fascist
techniques -- will do nicely, thank you.

In 1973, former MKULTRA researcher Louis Jolyon "Jolly"
West, from the Department of Psychiatry at UCLA, convinced
California and federal officials to sponsor a Violence Center.
Governor Ronald Reagan mentioned the proposed Center in glowing
terms in a speech on January 11, and the federal Law Enforcement
Assistance Administration (LEAA) approved a $750,000 grant. By
this time the federal government, through LEAA, the National
Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the Bureau of Prisons, and the
CIA, was operating or funding numerous behavior modification
programs in prisons, schools, and hospitals. In response to
protests from UCLA students and faculty, the LEAA announced that
it would ban the use of its funds for "psychosurgery, medical
research, behavior modification -- including aversion therapy --
and chemotherapy."

A year later Louis West was still hoping to obtain funds
from NIMH, but by then it was too late for his proposal. Until
the 1970s it was not unusual for mental health professionals to
propose programs that would screen children for the purpose of
early diagnosis and treatment of the potentially violent. But by
the 1970s the trend was in the other direction, as some states
enacted laws that made it more difficult to confine someone
involuntarily as a mental patient. By the 1990s the shoe is
securely on the other foot.

Twenty years ago it was fashionable for clinicians to blame
urban unrest and similar phenomena on the behavior of
individuals. Now, however, the individual can disclaim
responsibility for his actions by blaming external agencies.
Numerous persons have gone public with accusations of strange
events during their childhood, suggesting that they were used as
guinea pigs for mysterious men in white coats. Some of their
evidence seems sufficiently solid to require further
investigation, and more cases are emerging all the time.

On 15 March 1995, two patients of New Orleans therapist
Valerie Wolf testified before the Advisory Committee on Human
Radiation Experiments. Although this was outside the purview of
the Committee, they were permitted to testify because some of the
names of CIA-connected researchers they mentioned were already
familiar to the Committee. These two women remembered sessions
when they were around eight years old that involved electric
shocks, hypnosis, shots with needles, x-rays, sexual abuse, and
even training in intelligence tradecraft. One case occurred from
1972-1976 and the other in 1958. This testimony was not covered
by the media.

Although the recollections of the two women were spontaneous
and did not involve regression therapy, there is also a cottage
industry developing around memories of child abuse in general.
For the most part these are not connected with government
research, and perhaps many are the result of questionable
techniques used by social workers, therapists, police and
prosecutors to elicit testimony from children. Juries are
becoming more skeptical of many of these cases. This issue has
even assumed the dimensions of a religious crusade -- Christian
fundamentalists worry about evil in the New Age movement, and are
on the lookout for cases of "satanic ritual abuse" of children.
Others believe the CIA has turned children into split-personality
sex slaves for operational use.

In 1992 the False Memory Syndrome Foundation began in
Philadelphia. This organization criticizes the practice of
regression therapy when it's used to bring out memories of
traumatic childhood experiences. FMSF considers these repressed
memories of incest and sexual abuse to be objectively false, and
devastating to family life in general. There's a growing split
over this issue among psychology professionals. To confuse the
situation further, FMSF has some on their Board of Advisors who
may want to cover up their own work. One is Louis West, another
is Martin Orne, one of the key MKULTRA researchers in hypnosis,
and a third is Michael Persinger, who did research on the effects
of electromagnetic radiation on the brain for a Pentagon weapons
project.

Regression therapy could be a threat to the techniques the
CIA may have secretly developed involving the use of hypnosis.
Shortly after Pearl Harbor, George Estabrooks, chairman of the
Department of Psychology at Colgate University, was called to
Washington by the War Department. As one of the leading
authorities on hypnosis, Estabrooks was asked to evaluate how it
might be used by the enemy. In 1943 he wrote a book, expanded in
a second edition fourteen years later, that included a discussion
of the use of hypnotism in warfare. In his opinion, one in five
adult humans are capable of being placed in a trance so deep that
they will have no memory of it. They could be hypnotized secretly
by using a disguised technique, and given a post-hypnotic
suggestion. Estabrooks suggested that a dual personality could be
constructed with hypnosis, thereby creating the perfect double
agent with an unshakable cover.

Estabrooks' theories regarding hypnosis are disputed by many
experts today. Frequently the entire topic is dismissed with the
notion, promoted by Martin Orne and others, that a hypnotist
cannot induce a person to perform an act that this person would
otherwise find objectionable. But this in itself appears to be a
cover story; if the trance is deep enough, an imaginary social
environment can be constructed through which an otherwise
objectionable act becomes necessary and heroic. Murdering Hitler
during wartime would not be considered criminal, for example. It
may even be easier than this: in 1951 in Denmark, Palle Hardrup
robbed a bank and killed a guard, and then claimed that hypnotist
Bjorn Nielsen told him to do it. Nielsen eventually confessed
that Hardrup was a test of his hypnotic techniques, which
included telling Hardrup that the money from the robbery was a
means to a noble end. Hardrup had become Nielsen's robot, and
Nielsen was convicted.

In 1976 a book by Donald Bain titled "The Control of Candy
Jones" was published by Playboy Press. This one-of-a-kind book is
the story Candy Jones, who was America's leading cover girl
during the forties and fifties. In 1960 Jones fell on hard times
and agreed to act as a courier for the CIA. An excellent subject
for hypnosis, Jones became the plaything of a CIA psychiatrist
who used her to exhibit his mastery of mind-control techniques.
This psychiatrist used hypnosis and drugs to develop a second
personality within Jones over a period of 12 years. This second
personality took the form of a courier who could be triggered by
telephone with particular sounds, and after the mission was
completed and the normal personality resumed, did not remember
anything.

These missions were elaborate, and frequently involved world
travel to deliver messages. According to the book, Jones and
other victims were once even subjected to torture at a seminar at
CIA headquarters, as a means of demonstrating this psychiatrist's
control over his subjects.

Jones married New York radio talk-show host Long John Nebel
in 1972. An amateur hypnotist, Nebel stumbled onto her secret
personality, and began unravelling the story over many subsequent
sessions. Author Donald Bain, a family friend, was invited to
reconstruct the story from more than 200 hours of taped sessions
between Jones and Nebel. Various researchers have confirmed some
pieces of the story, but Bain did not name the major CIA
psychiatrist involved, nor did he name a second psychiatrist who
played a more marginal role. Researcher Martin Cannon recently
identified this second psychiatrist as the late William Kroger,
who was an associate of Louis West, Martin Orne, and another
MKULTRA veteran, H.J. Eysenck. Whatever the truth is behind Candy
Jones -- and it's difficult to see the book as an elaborate hoax
-- there's no question that hypnotist George Estabrooks raised
issues that the CIA took seriously in secret research for at
least 25 years.

The MKULTRA implementing documents specified that
"additional avenues to the control of human behavior" were to
include "radiation, electroshock, various fields of psychology,
sociology, and anthropology, graphology, harassment substances,
and paramilitary devices and materials." The word "radiation"
gave the Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments a
reason to request a search of records on human experimentation
from the CIA. Their final report, released last October,
expressed dissatisfaction with the CIA's response, and
recommended that the CIA get their act together so that
legitimate requests can be accommodated better in the future.

One problem is the compartmentation of the CIA's
record-keeping systems. Another is that the CIA immediately
decided that the Committee's purview was restricted only to
ionizing radiation -- the type of radiation of interest in
nuclear testing, as opposed to the electromagnetic and sound
waves that might be used for mind control. Finally, those
documents that the CIA did release were heavily redacted. The
Committee noted that they had "received numerous queries about
MKULTRA and the other related programs from scholars,
journalists, and citizens who have been unable to review the
complete record." In fact, most of the MKULTRA records were
destroyed in 1973 by the order of Richard Helms, who waived an
internal CIA regulation to do so. It was also the practice of
MKULTRA to maintain as few records as possible.

If ESP, waves, implants, satanic ritual abuse and
post-hypnotic robots aren't sufficient, recently the subject of
mind control has been intertwined with UFOs. Seemingly jealous of
the credibility enjoyed by victims of alien abduction, researcher
Julianne McKinney promotes the view that the entire UFO
phenomenon was created by the secret state. A more thorough
researcher, Martin Cannon, also promotes this view. In a long
monograph titled "The Controllers," he explains the UFO
phenomenon as a "screen memory" cover story induced by U.S.
intelligence to protect their own mind-control experiments.

On the other hand, the implicit assumption behind McKinney
and Cannon that it must be either/or -- either aliens from outer
space or spooks with a bag of secret tricks -- seems arbitrary.
If the ethically-challenged U.S. intelligence community has
proven anything during the last half- century, it's that they
would not find it objectionable to work on behalf of aliens from
outer space, and against the interests of humankind.

Another possible scenario is that aliens are real, U.S.
intelligence knows more than they are telling, and they send out
disinformation agents to keep the issue at merely a low simmer.
By muddying the waters with kook-biz, they keep it from becoming
officially-credible spook-biz, at which point it might boil over
into eschatology, mass hysteria, and vigilantism.

UFO researchers have recently become interested in the
Aviary, a group of former and current U.S. spooks, along with
some defense- contracting scientists, who may or may not have
official status. Apparently the mission of this group is to
discredit any serious research into UFOs. Its members include
Col. John B. Alexander, Harold Puthoff from the remote viewing
project, and Jack Vorona of the Defense Intelligence Agency
(formerly the boss of Michael Persinger). The names of others are
floating around the Internet as well.

Some Aviarians claim to be UFOlogists themselves, or are
friendly and good-natured with other UFOlogists, and some genuine
UFO researchers are quick to squabble with other researchers.
This makes it nearly impossible to sort out who is disinforming
whom, and difficult to distinguish the white hats from the black
hats. Since he began looking into the Aviary, British researcher
Armen Victorian has been burgled eight times, his car broken into
three times, his telephone tapped, and a bug was discovered in
his home. All this happened courtesy of British intelligence and
police, reportedly as a favor for the CIA.

Something is going on here, and chances are excellent that
it's not happening merely for our general amusement. Whoever the
men in black turn out to be, it's not the casually-titillated
viewer of "The X Files" that worries them. Instead, it's the
relentless researchers who track their careers and publicize
their deeds, hoping that one day the state will have no secrets,
and that those who live off of its impoverished taxpayers will,
in the end, be held accountable.

Those involved in parapsychology, mind control, and UFOlogy
who have government connections make up a small community; the
same names reappear constantly. Ranged against them are the
independent researchers -- also a small community. Leaving aside
Laurance Rockefeller, who is funding some activity in this area,
presumably out of personal interest, there don't appear to be
mysterious sums of money floating around. That means the field is
open for dedicated researchers with modest resources. And that's
the good news, because we need to be watching every move the
psi-spooks make.

Mind Control and the Internet

by Tom Porter

The Internet is a prodigious source of information, but
using it has been compared to "trying to sip from a firehose."
Access to this flood of data comes at a price: Net researchers
spend much of their time sifting the valuable from the dubious
from the insane. Never has this been more true than in dealing
with Net resources on the topic of mind control.

To begin with, there is the problem of definition. "Mind
control" has been taken to mean many different things, and all
these definitions have their advocates on the Net. Some of the
discussion on the Internet involves the purported harassment of
individuals for the purpose of disorienting them, or decreasing
their ability to discuss issues of importance. This includes the
use of less-than-lethal technologies such as microwave or ELF
irradiation, sonics, and other techniques. Ed Light and Julianne
McKinney argue that such harassment is real.

Other research and commentary on the Net concerns individual
mind control by means of what I call "structured abuse," and what
L. Ron Hubbard once identified as "drug/pain/hypnosis"
conditioning. Discussions on this topic can be found on many
pages related to satanic ritual abuse, alien abductions, and the
"false memory syndrome" debate. This area is where my research
efforts are concentrated.

Exploring mind control on the Net is complicated by the fact
that many of the most active participants claim they are also
victims. Their intensity is understandable; if I had been
subjected to the abuses claimed by these authors, I would
certainly want to publicize them. Ed Light hosts the Freedom of
Thought Foundation home page and tells his story there. Alan Yu
has contributed extensively to the alt.mindcontrol Usenet
newsgroup on this subject. Another self-identified victim who has
posted extensively is Glen Nichols.[1]

Many of the claims that such people make may seem
incredible. Still, we know that in the past intelligence agencies
have committed crimes they called "research." The Rockefeller
Commission and the Church Committee in the 1970s exposed some of
the horrors of the CIA's MKULTRA programs, and it remains
extremely likely that much more remains hidden.

Having spoken to several purported survivors of trauma-based
mind control who had significant although not conclusive
corroborating evidence, I am inclined to give these people the
benefit of the doubt. Many survivors of conventional abuse endure
additional suffering because of their difficulty in revealing
what happened to them, and in persuading others of the reality of
their abuse. I try to achieve a balance between acceptance of and
skepticism toward survivors' stories, and then try to seek
independent corroboration.

The Net is a particularly fertile field for anyone
investigating possible links between satanic ritual abuse and
mind control. There's a Net site that supports every imaginable
position, from False Memory Syndrome Foundation's iron-clad
skepticism to fundamentalist pages proclaiming tens of thousands
of abuse victims per year.[2] My own opinion is that the
application of "structured abuse" to young children, combined
with classical conditioning techniques, could create alternate
personalities that could be easily controlled and manipulated.
This would not require complex technology, only secrecy and
ruthlessness.

Any group capable of such techniques would see "benefits" in
the existence of such slaves. Some claim that purported "satanic
ritual abuse" can be a cover for experiments by intelligence
agencies. My own opinion is that this claim ought not to be
rejected out of hand. The CIA has a record of distancing itself
from morally-indefensible operations by using fronts and cutouts.
A similar case has been made for "alien abductions." Perhaps the
best-known discussion of possible links between mind control and
alien abductions is Martin Cannon's monograph "The Controllers,"
available in several forms from many sites.[3] Cannon claims that
some alien abductions are cover for mind-control efforts, and
represent an attempt to deal with victims' memories of such
procedures. Variations of Cannon's view can be found in Usenet
discussions of "alien abductions" as cover for the implantation
of microchips to track and/or control individuals. Again, even
these claims seem to me to deserve airing. The CIA has a history
of attempting to manipulate the existence of cults and other
mass- psychological phenomena to advance its objectives.

And the same could be true of the Internet. On the Net,
information flows rapidly, and is often impossible to verify.
Anonymous rumors can easily be inserted into the data-stream.
Paranoia about poisoned sources can easily overtake a researcher.
As a topic for serious discussion on the Net, "UFOlogy" already
seems to have self-destructed, and "mind control" may be next.
The welcome freewheeling quality of Net discourse is offset by
the possibility that important subjects can be trivialized, and
then disappear.

What is a researcher on this topic to do? Valuable though
the Net and its e-mail community are, the Net's greatest value
remains that of a pointer to other sources: potential interviews;
journals; and, yes, even books.

Mind Control and the Secret State

by Daniel Brandt

Last September the CIA confirmed the existence of a 20-year,
$20 million research program in "remote viewing," a subvariety of
extrasensory perception. On October 29, a Jack Anderson column
added more details, and Ted Koppel of ABC's Nightline weighed in
with a program on November 28, by which time many newspapers and
wire services had picked up the story. By December, a number of
pundits began lamenting this additional evidence of the CIA's
protean power to waste taxpayers' money.

Curiously, "remote viewing" was an old story, first reported
by Anderson himself on 23 April 1984. Other Anderson columns of
U.S. and Soviet interest in psychic research date back to 1981.
Anderson's October 29 update reported that this project, which
for a time was contracted out to the Stanford Research Institute
(SRI), had been scaled back and put under Pentagon sponsorship,
but nevertheless continued. Although the results of these
experiments were reportedly mixed, the project retains its
defenders in Congress: Sen. Claiborne Pell (D-RI) and Rep.
Charlie Rose (D-NC). By 1995, Anderson didn't have an opinion on
the merits of this research, but his 1984 column was supportive.
On Nightline, former CIA director Robert Gates implied that
pressure from members of Congress drove the CIA's original
involvement.

Another of Ted Koppel's CIA guests, identified only as
"Norm," was a technical advisor for CIA deputy director John
McMahon and, until 1984, a coordinator for the SRI tests. "Norm"
did mention the "eight-martini" results from some experiments;
this was an in-house term for remote- viewing results so
uncannily successful that observers needed eight martinis to
recover. Still, the general impression from Koppel's show was
dismissive. Only about "fifteen percent" of the experiments,
panelists repeated, produced accurate results. Gates argued that
such research, if undertaken at all, belongs in the academy.

Not for the first time, however, there's more to this story
than Ted Koppel acknowledges.

Ingo Swann, who was involved in the SRI project from
1972-1988, is upset with the media's droll treatment of this
revived story. Swann points out that the original motivation
behind the "remote viewing" project was the fear that the Soviets
were investing significant resources in applied psychic research,
and might be making advances. At the time, at least, such a
rationale would have been considered a plausible one to justify
such a small expenditure of intelligence money. Nevertheless,
almost all mention of this element of the story, which had
figured prominently in the first wave of stories on "remote
viewing," was dropped in 1995.

Furthermore, Swann claims, the "fifteen percent" figure,
established early in the SRI project, represented the baseline
accuracy for non-gifted and untrained persons. U.S. intelligence
wanted sixty-five percent accuracy, and in the later stages of
the project, Swann claims, "this accuracy level was achieved and
often consistently exceeded." According to Swann, the key players
in the project, and the documentation supporting the real story,
remain under the strictest security constraints.

However this may be, Anderson's October 29 story reminds us
that ESP is very much alive as an object of
intelligence-community interest. In addition to "remote viewing"
(seeing people, places, and events at a distance in space and
time), another area of interest is the supposed power of "micro
psycho-kinesis" or "Micro-PK" -- the ability to affect small
objects, such as electrical systems, by using the mind. Micro-PK
is one step away from outright telekinesis, and its supposed
power has obvious attractions for the CIA. Imagine being able to
erase a computer tape from a block away, or interfere with the
avionics of a jet fighter, or detonate a warhead.

Based on the evidence that's on the public record, the dream
of harnessing such power, or even of establishing its existence,
may be somewhat optimistic.

But this fact hasn't stopped a strange band of specialists,
many of whom have government connections, from staking out
careers at the intersection of, so to speak, ESP, the Pentagon,
and the CIA: where people interested in parapsychology work with
those interested in weapons research and mind control. These
would-be psi-spooks turn up occasionally on talk shows and at
conferences on "nonlethal defense." Their ranks include companies
like PSI-TECH in Albuquerque, founded by Maj. Edward A. Dames,
and figures such as Col. John B. Alexander of the Los Alamos
National Laboratory, who was featured in the February 1995 issue
of Wired magazine. Dames and Alexander and a dozen more blend in
with spookier types who shun publicity but who show up at UFO and
New Age gatherings. One is ex-Naval Intelligence officer C.B.
Scott Jones, a former aide to Sen. Claiborne Pell.

Once again, it's likely that Ted Koppel doesn't have the
whole story. It's also likely that he wouldn't be cleared to
report it if he did. Still, the piddling pool of dollars so far
devoted to this research strongly implies that, if the figure is
accurate, intelligence-funded parapsychological research has been
a bust.

The uncounted millions the CIA has spent on mind control
suggest just the opposite. As with "remote viewing," the
attraction of a successful mind control program to the CIA is
obvious, and has long been explicitly acknowledged as such. The
"Manchurian Candidate" scenario -- in which a programmed
zombie-assassin responds to a post-hypnotic trigger, performs the
act, and does not remember it later -- is one ideal type of
successful mind control. A reliable truth serum, long the object
of a CIA quest, would be another. Both of these are operational
uses of mind control, its so-called "second front."

This term comes from former CIA director Allen Dulles. In
1953, Dulles, speaking before a national meeting of Princeton
alumni, distinguished two fronts in the then-current "battle for
men's minds": a "first front" of mass indoctrination through
censorship and propaganda, and a "second front" of individual
"brainwashing" and "brain changing." Before an audience of fellow
Ivy Leaguers, Dulles skipped the usual pieties about democracy.
The same year, Dulles approved the CIA's notorious MKULTRA
project, and exempted it from normal CIA financial controls.

The distinction between Dulles's "two fronts" eventually
becomes difficult to sustain, like the distinction between, say,
sociology and psychology. Still, this distinction can be useful
in roughing out a spectrum of known mind-control techniques.

For example, one powerful tool for inducing ideological and
behavioral change is social pressure in a controlled environment.
The "brainwashing" employed during the Korean War did not involve
the use drugs or hypnosis. The Chinese merely used the same
techniques that they employed on the population at large, but
with more intensity, greater control, and additional rewards and
punishments such as food and sleep deprivation. Yet this
frighteningly simple program was enough to crank up the
brainwashing scare in the U.S. Some researchers now suspect that
this hysterical episode had its origins in CIA-generated
propaganda, designed to give the CIA the political space needed
to research more sophisticated mind-control techniques.

Many undergraduates learn about the experiments conducted by
Solomon Asch in the 1950s, which demonstrated that expressed
opinions can be easily manipulated by social pressure, even in
obvious cases, such as whether Line A is longer than Line B on a
particular card. And Stanley Milgram showed that many unwitting
research subjects would administer a series of escalating
electric shocks to another, even to the point of an apparent
heart attack, simply because a white-coated lab assistant asked
them to continue. Milgram's research suggests that a "Manchurian
Candidate" already exists in many of us, and that all that's
required to bring him out may be a bit of propaganda. The
historical evidence for blind human obedience that could be cited
here is very familiar, and very depressing.

Still, there's evidence that Pentagon planners are uneasy
about potential unruliness among the mass populations Dulles
identified as mind control's "first front." Princeton alumni may
perhaps follow and accept arguments that U.S. interests are at
stake in Bosnia, but their sons are unlikely to be on the scene
defending those supposed interests. The urban or Appalachian
infantryman, and the family he comes from, may have other ideas.

Elite unease on this point may lie behind Pentagon
enthusiasm for the new wrinkle in military force that goes by the
name "nonlethal" or "less-than-lethal." Its very claim to embody
a "humanitarian" form of warfare is a weapon in Dulles's "battle
for men's minds."

Nonlethal technology becomes important in a discussion of
mind control, as it involves something very close to it, in a
form which might be used to control large populations. The
propaganda aspect of "humanitarian warfare" is merely a sideshow;
it's the technology itself that enlists the enthusiasm of
Pentagon planners and law enforcement officials. Much of this
"friendly force" technology involves electromagnetic fields and
directed-energy radiation, and ultrasound or infrasound weapons
-- the same technology that's currently of interest in
brain-stimulation and mind-control research.

A partial list of aggressive promoters of this new
technology includes Oak Ridge National Lab, Sandia National
Laboratories, Science Applications International Corporation,
MITRE Corporation, Lawrence Livermore National Lab, and Los
Alamos National Laboratory. In the 1996 defense authorization
bill, Congress earmarked $37.2 million to investigate nonlethal
technologies. And this money looks like a mere ante in the game.

U.S. interest in this "less-than-lethal" technology dates
back to the early 1960s, when the State Department became aware
of low-energy microwave radiation directed at the U.S. embassy in
Moscow. Under the name "Project Pandora," secret research into
the Moscow radiation continued for ten years -- before embassy
employees were informed that they were on the receiving end.
Researchers initially assumed that the microwaves were designed
to activate bugging devices. But when a large number of illnesses
were reported at the embassy, a review of Soviet scientific
journals revealed that the Soviets believed microwaves affected
cell membranes and increased the excitability of nerve cells.

Officially, the incidence of illness at the embassy was
ultimately blamed on the U.S. shortwave transmitting antenna on
the embassy roof, which leaked energy and contributed to the
unhealthy environment. Still, the secrecy surrounding Project
Pandora encouraged further speculation within the U.S.
intelligence community and elsewhere. For instance, researchers
knew that a low-energy microwave beam could be modulated with an
"audiogram," and actually convey a recognizable message into an
irradiated brain. This led some U.S. spooks to suspect that the
Soviets had been attempting to practice mind control on the
embassy staff.

Such history brings us back to the situation of the restless
public in our own jittery, pre-millennial U.S. Today, there seems
to be a dramatic increase in the number of "wavies," those who
feel they are being harassed by non-ionizing radiation such as
radio or sound waves. Nevertheless, there is little evidence to
support their belief that the secret state, despite its obvious
interest in nonlethal technology, is supporting applied research
on unsuspecting average citizens. Several alternative
explanations suggest themselves.

First of all, the treatment of mental illness over the past
few decades has changed dramatically -- from an institutional
approach, to an out-patient, community-based system that relies
on prescription drugs to control symptoms and behavior. Greater
numbers of sufferers of paranoia, freed from institutions, are
also free to exercise their First Amendment rights. Furthermore,
the power to express oneself has been enhanced by technology --
everything from personal photocopying machines and desktop
publishing, to fax machines and now the Internet. And on the
Internet, almost everyone can find soulmates.

And "wavies" can make the case that they deserve the benefit
of a doubt. Revelations about the Cold War secret state, from the
CIA documents released in the 1970s to last year's Advisory
Committee on Human Radiation Experiments (which investigated
ionizing radiation only), have produced a social environment in
which it can seem difficult to rule out anyone's claim, no matter
how paranoid-sounding. Finally, there is the modern problem of
"pollution" in the broadest sense: from electromagnetic and
chemical, and including simple noise. Human reactions to this
pollution, which is a new phenomenon in the history of our
species, apparently vary by orders of magnitude. Those who are
ultra-sensitive may feel harassed, even if no one is
intentionally targeting them.

To a disinterested observer, the claims of the "wavies" are
perhaps no more bizarre than the claims of those who have
experienced profound religious conversions. The point is not to
belittle anyone's beliefs, but rather to establish that social
factors often determine what we consider to be credible. For
thousands of years societies have found it useful to allow
sufficient space for religion. Only recently has social space
opened up for the claims of "wavies." The increase in their
numbers is thus predictable, irrespective of whether the secret
state is behind their problems or not. (It isn't, in my opinion.)

This brings us to the "second front" mentioned by Allen
Dulles in 1953: the technology of mind control applied on an
individual level. Whereas non-ionizing radiation can be
"broadcast" to large populations, techniques such as
psychosurgery, implants, and electronic stimulation of the brain
(ESB) are administered on a case-by-case basis. More exotic
techniques, whose scientific status and potential effectiveness
remain uncertain, include radio hypnotic intra-cerebral control
and hypnotic dissolution of memory (RHIC-EDOM), and the use of
induced "screen memory" and multiple personality disorder (MPD)
for cover purposes.

The closest parallel to the "wavies" within this second
front include those who feel that implants were forced on them,
sometimes during childhood. Such beliefs obviously tap deep fears
in the popular psyche. The season premier of "The X Files" showed
FBI agent Scully discovering that someone had planted a microchip
near the base of her skull. And accused Oklahoma City bomber
Timothy McVeigh apparently claims that an implant was inserted
under his skin, for tracking purposes, during the Gulf War.

Identification implants, which are passive devices that
respond to an energy source and return an identification number,
are similar to the bar codes at the checkout counter in a grocery
store. Today's pet owners can have these devices implanted in
their pets. But anyone who confuses this simple technology with a
chip that tells them what to do is already in trouble. Such a
person should consider turning off the television, logging off
the Internet, and checking out a few books from the local
library. ID technology is ominous for those concerned with
surveillance and privacy, but it has little to do with mind
control.

Granted, there are experimental "stimoceiver" implants that
can stimulate the brain through electrodes. Mind-control
enthusiast Jose Delgado became briefly famous when he stopped a
charging bull in its tracks with such a device in 1964. Even
allowing for electronic miniaturization since then, or for the
fact that finely-tuned microwaves can achieve the same results as
implanted electrodes, ESB would still seem to be impractical as a
mind-control device. At best it appears to stimulate various
emotions, and might be used for behavioral conditioning in a
controlled environment. This is still quite crude as a control
device. It would be simpler and more reliable to arrange a fatal
accident.

The combination of surveillance technology and implanted
aversion therapy conjures up the vision of a society of
victim-robots, with monitors on every utility pole and computers
administering the conditioning. But the necessary infrastructure
would be frightfully expensive.

And no doubt unnecessary. Sufficient control over the flow
of information in society can yield results very similar to those
that could be achieved by mind-control implants installed in
every individual. Thus the flaw in the reasoning of many
researchers: the mind-control techniques that have them so
worried are usually the most difficult techniques one can
possibly imagine. For those who would seek total control, plain,
old-fashioned information control -- leavened with a few fascist
techniques -- will do nicely, thank you.

In 1973, former MKULTRA researcher Louis Jolyon "Jolly"
West, from the Department of Psychiatry at UCLA, convinced
California and federal officials to sponsor a Violence Center.
Governor Ronald Reagan mentioned the proposed Center in glowing
terms in a speech on January 11, and the federal Law Enforcement
Assistance Administration (LEAA) approved a $750,000 grant. By
this time the federal government, through LEAA, the National
Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the Bureau of Prisons, and the
CIA, was operating or funding numerous behavior modification
programs in prisons, schools, and hospitals. In response to
protests from UCLA students and faculty, the LEAA announced that
it would ban the use of its funds for "psychosurgery, medical
research, behavior modification -- including aversion therapy --
and chemotherapy."

A year later Louis West was still hoping to obtain funds
from NIMH, but by then it was too late for his proposal. Until
the 1970s it was not unusual for mental health professionals to
propose programs that would screen children for the purpose of
early diagnosis and treatment of the potentially violent. But by
the 1970s the trend was in the other direction, as some states
enacted laws that made it more difficult to confine someone
involuntarily as a mental patient. By the 1990s the shoe is
securely on the other foot.

Twenty years ago it was fashionable for clinicians to blame
urban unrest and similar phenomena on the behavior of
individuals. Now, however, the individual can disclaim
responsibility for his actions by blaming external agencies.
Numerous persons have gone public with accusations of strange
events during their childhood, suggesting that they were used as
guinea pigs for mysterious men in white coats. Some of their
evidence seems sufficiently solid to require further
investigation, and more cases are emerging all the time.

On 15 March 1995, two patients of New Orleans therapist
Valerie Wolf testified before the Advisory Committee on Human
Radiation Experiments. Although this was outside the purview of
the Committee, they were permitted to testify because some of the
names of CIA-connected researchers they mentioned were already
familiar to the Committee. These two women remembered sessions
when they were around eight years old that involved electric
shocks, hypnosis, shots with needles, x-rays, sexual abuse, and
even training in intelligence tradecraft. One case occurred from
1972-1976 and the other in 1958. This testimony was not covered
by the media.

Although the recollections of the two women were spontaneous
and did not involve regression therapy, there is also a cottage
industry developing around memories of child abuse in general.
For the most part these are not connected with government
research, and perhaps many are the result of questionable
techniques used by social workers, therapists, police and
prosecutors to elicit testimony from children. Juries are
becoming more skeptical of many of these cases. This issue has
even assumed the dimensions of a religious crusade -- Christian
fundamentalists worry about evil in the New Age movement, and are
on the lookout for cases of "satanic ritual abuse" of children.
Others believe the CIA has turned children into split-personality
sex slaves for operational use.

In 1992 the False Memory Syndrome Foundation began in
Philadelphia. This organization criticizes the practice of
regression therapy when it's used to bring out memories of
traumatic childhood experiences. FMSF considers these repressed
memories of incest and sexual abuse to be objectively false, and
devastating to family life in general. There's a growing split
over this issue among psychology professionals. To confuse the
situation further, FMSF has some on their Board of Advisors who
may want to cover up their own work. One is Louis West, another
is Martin Orne, one of the key MKULTRA researchers in hypnosis,
and a third is Michael Persinger, who did research on the effects
of electromagnetic radiation on the brain for a Pentagon weapons
project.

Regression therapy could be a threat to the techniques the
CIA may have secretly developed involving the use of hypnosis.
Shortly after Pearl Harbor, George Estabrooks, chairman of the
Department of Psychology at Colgate University, was called to
Washington by the War Department. As one of the leading
authorities on hypnosis, Estabrooks was asked to evaluate how it
might be used by the enemy. In 1943 he wrote a book, expanded in
a second edition fourteen years later, that included a discussion
of the use of hypnotism in warfare. In his opinion, one in five
adult humans are capable of being placed in a trance so deep that
they will have no memory of it. They could be hypnotized secretly
by using a disguised technique, and given a post-hypnotic
suggestion. Estabrooks suggested that a dual personality could be
constructed with hypnosis, thereby creating the perfect double
agent with an unshakable cover.

Estabrooks' theories regarding hypnosis are disputed by many
experts today. Frequently the entire topic is dismissed with the
notion, promoted by Martin Orne and others, that a hypnotist
cannot induce a person to perform an act that this person would
otherwise find objectionable. But this in itself appears to be a
cover story; if the trance is deep enough, an imaginary social
environment can be constructed through which an otherwise
objectionable act becomes necessary and heroic. Murdering Hitler
during wartime would not be considered criminal, for example. It
may even be easier than this: in 1951 in Denmark, Palle Hardrup
robbed a bank and killed a guard, and then claimed that hypnotist
Bjorn Nielsen told him to do it. Nielsen eventually confessed
that Hardrup was a test of his hypnotic techniques, which
included telling Hardrup that the money from the robbery was a
means to a noble end. Hardrup had become Nielsen's robot, and
Nielsen was convicted.

In 1976 a book by Donald Bain titled "The Control of Candy
Jones" was published by Playboy Press. This one-of-a-kind book is
the story Candy Jones, who was America's leading cover girl
during the forties and fifties. In 1960 Jones fell on hard times
and agreed to act as a courier for the CIA. An excellent subject
for hypnosis, Jones became the plaything of a CIA psychiatrist
who used her to exhibit his mastery of mind-control techniques.
This psychiatrist used hypnosis and drugs to develop a second
personality within Jones over a period of 12 years. This second
personality took the form of a courier who could be triggered by
telephone with particular sounds, and after the mission was
completed and the normal personality resumed, did not remember
anything.

These missions were elaborate, and frequently involved world
travel to deliver messages. According to the book, Jones and
other victims were once even subjected to torture at a seminar at
CIA headquarters, as a means of demonstrating this psychiatrist's
control over his subjects.

Jones married New York radio talk-show host Long John Nebel
in 1972. An amateur hypnotist, Nebel stumbled onto her secret
personality, and began unravelling the story over many subsequent
sessions. Author Donald Bain, a family friend, was invited to
reconstruct the story from more than 200 hours of taped sessions
between Jones and Nebel. Various researchers have confirmed some
pieces of the story, but Bain did not name the major CIA
psychiatrist involved, nor did he name a second psychiatrist who
played a more marginal role. Researcher Martin Cannon recently
identified this second psychiatrist as the late William Kroger,
who was an associate of Louis West, Martin Orne, and another
MKULTRA veteran, H.J. Eysenck. Whatever the truth is behind Candy
Jones -- and it's difficult to see the book as an elaborate hoax
-- there's no question that hypnotist George Estabrooks raised
issues that the CIA took seriously in secret research for at
least 25 years.

The MKULTRA implementing documents specified that
"additional avenues to the control of human behavior" were to
include "radiation, electroshock, various fields of psychology,
sociology, and anthropology, graphology, harassment substances,
and paramilitary devices and materials." The word "radiation"
gave the Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments a
reason to request a search of records on human experimentation
from the CIA. Their final report, released last October,
expressed dissatisfaction with the CIA's response, and
recommended that the CIA get their act together so that
legitimate requests can be accommodated better in the future.

One problem is the compartmentation of the CIA's
record-keeping systems. Another is that the CIA immediately
decided that the Committee's purview was restricted only to
ionizing radiation -- the type of radiation of interest in
nuclear testing, as opposed to the electromagnetic and sound
waves that might be used for mind control. Finally, those
documents that the CIA did release were heavily redacted. The
Committee noted that they had "received numerous queries about
MKULTRA and the other related programs from scholars,
journalists, and citizens who have been unable to review the
complete record." In fact, most of the MKULTRA records were
destroyed in 1973 by the order of Richard Helms, who waived an
internal CIA regulation to do so. It was also the practice of
MKULTRA to maintain as few records as possible.

If ESP, waves, implants, satanic ritual abuse and
post-hypnotic robots aren't sufficient, recently the subject of
mind control has been intertwined with UFOs. Seemingly jealous of
the credibility enjoyed by victims of alien abduction, researcher
Julianne McKinney promotes the view that the entire UFO
phenomenon was created by the secret state. A more thorough
researcher, Martin Cannon, also promotes this view. In a long
monograph titled "The Controllers," he explains the UFO
phenomenon as a "screen memory" cover story induced by U.S.
intelligence to protect their own mind-control experiments.

On the other hand, the implicit assumption behind McKinney
and Cannon that it must be either/or -- either aliens from outer
space or spooks with a bag of secret tricks -- seems arbitrary.
If the ethically-challenged U.S. intelligence community has
proven anything during the last half- century, it's that they
would not find it objectionable to work on behalf of aliens from
outer space, and against the interests of humankind.

Another possible scenario is that aliens are real, U.S.
intelligence knows more than they are telling, and they send out
disinformation agents to keep the issue at merely a low simmer.
By muddying the waters with kook-biz, they keep it from becoming
officially-credible spook-biz, at which point it might boil over
into eschatology, mass hysteria, and vigilantism.

UFO researchers have recently become interested in the
Aviary, a group of former and current U.S. spooks, along with
some defense- contracting scientists, who may or may not have
official status. Apparently the mission of this group is to
discredit any serious research into UFOs. Its members include
Col. John B. Alexander, Harold Puthoff from the remote viewing
project, and Jack Vorona of the Defense Intelligence Agency
(formerly the boss of Michael Persinger). The names of others are
floating around the Internet as well.

Some Aviarians claim to be UFOlogists themselves, or are
friendly and good-natured with other UFOlogists, and some genuine
UFO researchers are quick to squabble with other researchers.
This makes it nearly impossible to sort out who is disinforming
whom, and difficult to distinguish the white hats from the black
hats. Since he began looking into the Aviary, British researcher
Armen Victorian has been burgled eight times, his car broken into
three times, his telephone tapped, and a bug was discovered in
his home. All this happened courtesy of British intelligence and
police, reportedly as a favor for the CIA.

Something is going on here, and chances are excellent that
it's not happening merely for our general amusement. Whoever the
men in black turn out to be, it's not the casually-titillated
viewer of "The X Files" that worries them. Instead, it's the
relentless researchers who track their careers and publicize
their deeds, hoping that one day the state will have no secrets,
and that those who live off of its impoverished taxpayers will,
in the end, be held accountable.

Those involved in parapsychology, mind control, and UFOlogy
who have government connections make up a small community; the
same names reappear constantly. Ranged against them are the
independent researchers -- also a small community. Leaving aside
Laurance Rockefeller, who is funding some activity in this area,
presumably out of personal interest, there don't appear to be
mysterious sums of money floating around. That means the field is
open for dedicated researchers with modest resources. And that's
the good news, because we need to be watching every move the
psi-spooks make.

Mind Control and the Internet

by Tom Porter

The Internet is a prodigious source of information, but
using it has been compared to "trying to sip from a firehose."
Access to this flood of data comes at a price: Net researchers
spend much of their time sifting the valuable from the dubious
from the insane. Never has this been more true than in dealing
with Net resources on the topic of mind control.

To begin with, there is the problem of definition. "Mind
control" has been taken to mean many different things, and all
these definitions have their advocates on the Net. Some of the
discussion on the Internet involves the purported harassment of
individuals for the purpose of disorienting them, or decreasing
their ability to discuss issues of importance. This includes the
use of less-than-lethal technologies such as microwave or ELF
irradiation, sonics, and other techniques. Ed Light and Julianne
McKinney argue that such harassment is real.

Other research and commentary on the Net concerns individual
mind control by means of what I call "structured abuse," and what
L. Ron Hubbard once identified as "drug/pain/hypnosis"
conditioning. Discussions on this topic can be found on many
pages related to satanic ritual abuse, alien abductions, and the
"false memory syndrome" debate. This area is where my research
efforts are concentrated.

Exploring mind control on the Net is complicated by the fact
that many of the most active participants claim they are also
victims. Their intensity is understandable; if I had been
subjected to the abuses claimed by these authors, I would
certainly want to publicize them. Ed Light hosts the Freedom of
Thought Foundation home page and tells his story there. Alan Yu
has contributed extensively to the alt.mindcontrol Usenet
newsgroup on this subject. Another self-identified victim who has
posted extensively is Glen Nichols.[1]

Many of the claims that such people make may seem
incredible. Still, we know that in the past intelligence agencies
have committed crimes they
