1. CIA
Mind Control Operations at Stanford Research Institute
by Alex Constantine
Concrete evidence that electronic mind control was an object of
study at SRI was exposed by the Washington Post in 1977: "When the
Navy awarded a contract to the Institute, the scientific assistant
to the Secretary of the Navy, Dr. Sam Koslov, received a routine
briefing on various research projects, including SRIs. As the
briefer flashed his chart onto the screen and began to speak, Koslov
stormily interrupted, What the hell is that about? Among the glowing
words on the projected chart, the section describing SRIs work was
labelled, ELF AND MIND CONTROL.
ELF
stands for extremely [low] frequency electromagnetic waves, from the
very slow brain frequencies up to about 100 cycles per second....
But the Mind Control label
really upset Koslov. He ordered the SRI investigations for the Navy
stopped, and cancelled another $35,000 in Navy funds slated for more
remote viewing work."
Contrary to Koslov's order to kill the research, the Navy quietly
continued to fork out $100,000 for a two-year project directed by a
bionics specialist.
Mind control is not a humanitarian pastime: the project was
military, and if SRI was a source of covert EMR brain
experimentation, test subjects were subjected to torture
plied with the same thorough disregard for human rights as the
radiation tests conducted at the height of the Cold War. To be sure,
the treatment subjects have received at the hands of their own
government would be considered atrocities if practiced in wartime.
Mind control was also used in domestic covert operations designed to
further the CIAs heady geopolitical ambitions, and during the
Vietnam War period SRI was a hive of covert political subterfuge.
The Symbionese Liberation Army, like the People's Temple, was a
creation of the CIA. The SLA had at its core a clique of black
ex-convicts from Vacaville Prison. Donald DeFreeze, otherwise known
as Cinque, led the SLA. He was formerly an informant for the LAPDs
Criminal Conspiracy Section and the director of Vacaville's Black
Cultural Association (BCA), a covert mind control unit with funding
from the CIA channelled through SRI. The Menlo Park behaviour
modification specialists experimented with psychoactive drugs
administered to members of the BCA. Black prisoners were programmed
to murder selected black leaders once on the outside.
The CIA/SRI zombie killer hit list included Oakland school
superintendent Dr. Marcus Foster, and Panthers Huey Newton and Bobby
Seale, among others. DeFreeze stated that at Vacaville in 1971-72,
he was the subject of a CIA mind control experiment. He described
his incarceration on the prisons third floor, where he was corralled
by CIA agents who drugged him and said he would become the leader of
a radical movement and kidnap a wealthy person. After his escape
from Vacaville (an exit door was left unlocked for him), that's
exactly what he did.
EM mind control machines were championed at Stanford University by
Dr. Karl Pribram, director of the Neurophychology Research
Laboratory: "I certainly could educate a child by putting an
electrode in the lateral hypothalamus and then selecting the
situations at which I stimulate it. In this was I can grossly change
his behaviour." Psychology Today touted Pribram as The Magellan of
Brain Science. He obtained his B.S. and M.D. degrees at the
University of Chicago, and at SRI studied how the brain processes
and stores sensory imagery. He is credited with discovering that
mental imaging bears a close resemblance to hologram projection (the
basis for transmitting images to the brains of test subjects under
the misnomer "remote viewing?").
The Institute is bonded incestuously to corporate sponsors. Former
SRI Chairman E. Hornsby Wasson, for example, was a director of
several major companies, including Standard Oil of California, and
he went on to become chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and CEO of
Pacific Telephone & Telegraph and Bell Telephone of Nevada.
The
SRI/SAIC psi experiments were supervised at Langley by John McMahon,
second in command under William Casey, succeeding Bobby Ray Inman,
the SAIC director. McMahon has, according to Philip Agee, the CIA
whistle-blowing exile, an affinity for technological exotics for CIA
covert actions. He was recruited by the Agency after his graduation
from Holy Cross College (the alma mater of CIA
contractees Edward Bennett Williams, attorney, and Robert Maheu, hit
man). He is a former director of the Technical Services Division,
deputy director for Operations, and in 1982 McMahon was appointed
deputy director of Central Intelligence. He left the Agency six
years later to take the position of president of the Lockheed
Missiles and Space Systems Group. In 1994, he moved on to Draper
Laboratories. He is a director of the Defense Enterprise Fund and an
adviser to congressional committees.
Many of the SRI empaths were mustered from L. Ron Hubbard's Church
of Scientology, Harold Puthoff, the Institute's senior researcher,
was a leading Scientologist. Two remote viewers from SRI have also
held rank in the Church: Ingo Swann, a Class VII Operating Thetan, a
founder of the Scientology Center in Los
Angeles, and the late Pat Price. Puthoff and Targ's lab assistant
was a Scientologist married to a minister of the church. When Swann
joined SRI, he stated openly, "fourteen Clears participated in the
experiments, more than I would suspect." At the time he denied CIA
involvement, but now acknowledges, "it was rather common knowledge
all along who the sponsor was, although in documents the identity of
the Agency was concealed behind the sobriquet of an east-coast
scientist."
The
Agency's interest was quite extensive. A number of agents of the CIA
came themselves ultimately to SRI to act as subjects in remote
viewing experiments, as did some members of Congress.
"If you
recall," astronaut Edgar Mitchell, another participant in the
experiments, informed radio disinformation broker Art Bell on April
30, 1996, "back in the early '70s, I did work at SRI with Harold
Puthoff and Russell Targ and Uri Geller, and I was invited to brief
the CIA on our results. George Bush was head of the CIA at that
time. Subsequently, a great deal of psychic work was done by CIA,
and very successfully because the Soviets were doing it at that time
as well,very successfully."
Mitchell spins a cacoon of yarns as outrageously far-fetched as any
of his SRI cronies. He claims to have traced the brain's center of
ESP to native creativity, a "relationship that exists in nature,
it's responsible for our inner-experience.... It involves the
zero-point field, quantum physics, mystical experience,
parapsychological functioning." The ubiquitous "aliens," he insists,
are at the heart of the federal UFO cover-up, visitors from a
civilization "a few million, or even a few billion years older than
we are." His book The Way of the Explorer is chock-a-block with the
astronaut's rambling shamanic cover stories, supposedly the
culmination of 25 years of research on intelligent life in the
universe and the paranormal.
The Agency was reportedly so taken with the SRI experiments that the
bankroll for "human augmentation" research swelled. Millions of
dollars were thrown at "Grill Flame" under (DIA) and Navy auspices.
The projects at SRI were augmented by a parapsychology team at Fort
Meade in Maryland under INSCOM and the NSA. Military intelligence
personnel were recruited, including Major Ed Dames, the Psi-Tech
founder, occultist and communer with "demons." General Stubblebine
ran the project and broadened it to include tarot and the
channelling of spirits. By this time, Puthoff and Swann left the
Church of Scientology to join a spin-off religious movement.
The DIA inherited "Grill Flame." A reporter for the BBC (requesting
anonymity) offers a glimpse of the Army's remote viewing project at
Fort Meade,and declares he was given The Official Line (i.e. "we
were about to be used for disinformation. As soon as I started
asking hard questions, the project was taken away from us and
[given] to a far more docile broadcaster"). The British
correspondent learned that medical oversight for the psi experiments
was provided by Dr. Louis Jolyon West, then a professor of
psychiatry at UCLA, one of the most notorious CIA mind control
specialists in the country. Apart from monitoring the health of the
subjects, according to SRI spokesmen, Dr. West conducted his own
experimental studies of the phenomenology of dissociative states,"
or multiple personalities, at the Institute.
Colin Ross, a specialist in dissociative disorders, offers that Dr.
West's work for the CIA centered on the biology or personality of
dissociative states.
Many victims of the CIA-anchored experimentation have been left with
multiple personalities induced at a young age, and it is certain
that the CIA can trigger induced multiple personalities
electronically from a remote source to commit any act on cue the
ultimate Manchurian Candidate. Under Dr. West's tutelage at UCLA,
parapsychology experiments of another sort were conducted by Kirlian
aura researcher Thelma Moss, a writer for television and a human
guinea-pig herself in LSD experiments conducted in 1957. Three years
later, as a UCLA psychology student, she designed protocols for her
own LSD experiments under the supervision of Dr. Oscar Janiger.
The CIA, of course, could not be far away. Dr. Janigers supplier of
the drug was the legendary Captain Al Hubbard, the Johnny Appleseed
of LSD. "Nothing of substance has been written about Al Hubbard,"
Janiger once said, "and probably nothing ever should."
Hubbard, a convicted rum-runner, had a knack for electronic
communications. He was recruited by the OSS by agents of Allen
Dulles and surely reported to the CIA thereafter. Hubbard, an
arch-arch-conservative, joined SRI at the urging of Willis Harman,
director of the Institute's Educational Policy Research Center,
ostensibly as a security guard. Harman, an LSD experimenter himself,
admits, "Al never did anything resembling security work." Hubbard
was employed on the Alternative Futures Project, a corporate
strategy program. Al had a grandiose idea, one co-worker recalls,
that "if he could give the psychedelic experience to the major
executives of the Fortune 500 companies, he could change the whole
of society." Hubbard was a major supplier to university's sponsoring
experimentation, and flooded the youth subculture he despised with
LSD in the 1960s. The massive drug-dealing operation at least as
large as the government's, and had Harmon's full support. Al
Hubbard's contract at SRI was cancelled in 1974.
Among the labs closed in 1966 with the criminalization of LSD was
Dr. Janiger's.
His protege, Thelma Moss, continued to pursue experimentation with
the hallucinogen as a psychotherapeutic tool, later as an ESP
trigger and for experiments in "behaviour modification." Her
increasingly bizarre interests led her to Kirlian photography, and
she set up a lab at the Neuropsychiatric Institute under Dr. West.
At least one volunteer in Mosss experiments alleges to have been led
down a blind alley to lifelong torture. D.S. (requesting anonymity)
appeared on Mosss doorstep in 1978. After the experiments, she was
whelmed by back-to-back psychic experiences not true ones, she
realized, but precognitive dreams that had to be fed to me.
(Biotelemetric subjects routinely complain that their dreams are
commandeered.) For 15 years she walked through a barrage of EM
novelty effects. The psychic episodes gradually gave way to torture,
including severe head pains and endless hours of persuasive
coercion, the art of psychological paralysis honed by the CIA in the
prison system. In 1994 she began to receive non-stop audio
transmissions that still torment her, cybernetic voices registering
on her brain's primary frequency allocation, her mental channel.
The resident psychic at Mosss parapsychology lab was graduate
student Barry Taff. Moss recalls that Taff had the special gift of
falling into a trance at will. He is also a certified hypnotist.
Israeli Schlomo Arnon, an electrical engineer on loan from the UCLA
Physics Department, suggests that Taff was familiar with the
development of nonlethal weapons of the sort used in CIA mind
control operations decades before they were popularized by John
Alexander and the military-intelligence alien mongers widely known
as the "Aviary." "In all the conversations with Taff, he and I were
always on the same frequency," Arnon recalls. "Except for one
occasion: He told me a story I will never forget, because it was so
unusual. He said he was present in a military experiment where a
tank had been blown out by a laser beam at a distance of a few
hundred yards. And this is in the mid-seventies! Now,I have never
known him to lie to me. He did not have to tell me anything. I was
never interested in anything else outside of the paranormal. If he
really saw it, this is a technology that even today we don't admit
that we have." The still mysterious Barry Taff has gone on to become
a noted UFOlogist, parapsychologist and screenwriter (UFO Cover Up,
Live!), a highly
confabulatory disinformationist.
Val
Bankston, an abductee, met Taff in the course of seeking answers to
her abuse by the ubiquitous "aliens." She agreed to be a subject in
his own investigation of UFOs. "You may recognize the name Barry
Taff," she says. "He researched and wrote a movie called 'The
Entity.' He also conducts parapsychology investigations, pursues
effects that he covertly produces himself with high technology.
"Oddly
enough," Bankston confides, "shortly after we met, I was assaulted
by a disembodied entity in broad daylight who engaged in sexual acts
with me. At the time, I believed it was an incubus. Knowing what I
do about Barry the fact that he is a certified hypnotist, for one I
believe that he hypnotised both me and the other subject of his
research, which led to the movie 'the Entity,' into having these
experiences. He may have treated several women this way and picked
the one that best bolstered his book and movie scheme."
Another
indication that military biotechnology, cyber-psi, was focal in
Stargate research was the Agency's choice of The American Institutes
of Research (AIR) in Washington, D.C. to evaluate the validity of
remote viewing. AIR could be counted on to keep the (mind control)
secrets. In the 1970s, the Army's Office of the Inspector General
released declassified files disclosing a series of CIA-DoD behaviour
modification experiments conducted in prisons, mental hospitals and
campuses from 1950 through 1971. The documents identified 44
laboratories enriched with public tax funds for secret, inhumane
brain research. The first on the list was AIR. SRI also received
funding. An in-house study ensured CIA personnel would not be
dragged in from the cold. Some of the aims of the research:
Inducing toxic psychosis, terminal cancer, stress, sleep, headaches
and chemical lobotomies.
Developing foods that taste normal but stimulate fear and anxiety.
The concoction of drugs to facilitate the brainwashing of civilians.
Using LSD-25 and electrodes in the brain to pinpoint pain centers.
A
number of SRI spinoffs have taken remote viewing into the private
sector. A brochure for the Farsight Institute states flatly that
technology is used, and promotes the alien diversion: The Farsight
Institute (TFI) was founded by Courtney Brown, Ph.D., in 1995,
evolving from a research program he conducted in the early 1990s,
described in his book Cosmic Voyage: A Scientific Discovery of
Extraterrestrials Visiting Earth (Dutton 1996). "Dr. Brown's
investigations began with his training
in a remote viewing technology that had previously been used by the
U.S. military during highly classified operations in the 1980s and
90s," according to his sales
literature. "Historically, the principal breakthroughs with this
technology were made at Stanford Research Institute in the 1970s and
1980s by the gifted artist and natural psychic (sic), Ingo Swann.
The vision of The Farsight Institute is to promote the continued
research and development of the most modern and effective forms of
this continually evolving technology." Other remote viewing gurus
from the SRI program have sprung up like poison mushrooms around the
country, ranting obliquely on the paranormal and scapegoating
"aliens."
The
rhetoric is a serious development in intelligence cult programming
for mass consumption. The populace is subjected to the same crazed
systems used to indoctrinate recruits of the mind control cults.
Psi-Tech founder Ed Dames claimed on Art Bell's syndicated radio
program that his company can comb "the collective unconscious" for
answers to such mysteries as the origins of the AIDS virus. By
scanning the "Global Mind," Dames claims, "we perceived massive
global weather changes that preclude growing crops, a tremendous
problem with epidemics and pandemics in Third World countries
because it appears the ozone problem is increasing the mutation
rate. Were perceiving a bovine AIDS that kills a lot of babies. The
future gets grimmer after that."
Parapsychology, E.T.s and the "End Times" are not just for the cults
anymore the intelligence community wants the you to believe ...
believe ...
... Cold War-style propagandists. Current mind control
disinformation has its foundations in anti-Communist propaganda. Lt.
Col Thomas Beardon, an Army Reservist, was made to order in
magazines published by the "Committee to
Restore the Constitution" and other ultra-conservative
organizations. Beardon had a loyal following. He made a career of
writing about emergent Soviet EM mind control
technology, but somehow it rarely seemed to cross his mind that the
U.S. might be pursuing the same initiative. Beardon warned that the
Soviets were developing weapons that generate "time-reversed (TR)
electromagnetic waves," and were capable of launching a "TR
Blitzkrieg War" of awful proportions. He warned grimly that the
black-hearted Communists had their hands on "time-reversal" weapons
that could "take Europe." A single flying Soviet "TR wave weapon,"
he claimed, was capable of knocking out all British and American
radars. It could "kill personnel
wholesale."
