[…] The two pieces are a reworking of some of the information we have on that fuzzy, hearsay-laden area in which drugs (especially psychedelics), the intelligence agencies and mind control programmes overlapped. In the second part the author, Greg Krupey, reminds us of the claims made by Timothy Leary in his memoir Flashbacks that Mary […]
[…] the loony fringe of America (William Cooper and dumber), via an enormous range of writing on the entire spectrum of single issue subjects (murders, scandals, conspiracies, CIA, mind control, etc.), through to major, solid pieces about the New World Order, MAI, consumer boycotts and so forth. The ratio of junk to the worthwhile used […]
[…] photographs. All the usual suspects are here: Bracken, Keith, Thomas, Constantine, Martin – and a lot of names unfamiliar to me. Material ranges from Jack Kerouac to mind control and the quality ranges from the poor (though there isn’t much of that) to the seriously good. To give a flavour of all this, the […]
[…] one hand, the CIA has already used involuntary experimental subjects in other programs it funded in the 1950s and 60s. Anyone who has read Walter Bowart’s Operation Mind Control and believed only a quarter of it would not find Girard’s claims about the way the CIA is behaving difficult to believe. The CIA has […]
[…] very long, have only had time to read it (quickly) once, so this is by way of an interim report. But a second reading won’t change my mind that this is a very good book. I enjoyed this more than anything else I have read for years. It is also an important book. There […]
[…] bought his way into the Western intelligence fraternity by handing over extensive files on anti-Soviet intelligence networks behind enemy lines in 1945/6. (1) What brought Gehlen to mind was a mischievous little article in a recent edition of the French newsletter Intelligence Online (2) reminding us that the new Pope Benedict XVI was formerly […]
[…] the neo-conservative right, to establish a new balance of terror. No third party should offer unqualified support to someone who has not yet made up their own mind about what is right and proper. Second, our security and intelligence community ceased to question their premises and became locked into an Atlanticist group-think about the […]
[…] of him,’ I replied. ‘Why?’ It turned out Spencer had been asking questions about a rather sensitive American project whose initials are HAARP which links to various mind control and weather modification projects. This was about the only time I made a correct prediction. I said to the researcher something to the effect that […]
[…] practitioners of government. We are relatively free of the problems of status, of precedence, departmental attitudes and evasions of personal responsibility, which create the official cast of mind. We do not have to develop, like the Parliamentarians conditioned by a lifetime, the ability to produce the ready phrase, the smart reply and the flashing […]
[…] rightist kuromako, see Nakamura, pp. 16-19; Halloran, p. 2; Roberts (1973), p. 14. Dixon, pp. 211-212. Anderson and Anderson, p. 125. There is some question in my mind as to whether he was a ‘lieutenant’ of Kodama’s as early as 1962, or whether he only became one later. The precise dating could have explanatory […]
