    LEADING PSYCHIATRIST BLOWS WHISTLE ON PROFESSION: PROVES 50+
    YEARS OF MIND CONTROL

    By W.H. Bowart

    December 1996

    ----------------------------------------------------------------

    Is the profession of psychiatry beginning to rival the legal
    profession as having the most useless information, the most
    know-nothing, corrupt and mercenary practitioners of any
    profession?

    The proof of the psychiatric pudding might be that doctors who
    once easily earned $300,000 or more a year are having a hard time
    pulling in $100,000 a year these days. This could be due to the
    cuts in national health care payments, to the competition that
    has been created by the lower prices of the HMO's, and/or it
    could be partly caused by the accumulative effects of the CIA's
    fifty years of covert manipulation of that profession.

    Almost every psychiatrist of the aged generation (especially
    those who also hold diplomas in psychology) worked for the CIA
    or another branch of the cryptocracy in one or another dirty
    project which tested drugs, hypnosis, brain stimulation and a
    variety of other things on unwitting humans -- often employees
    of the government who'd already signed their lives away. These
    psychiatrists were hell-bent on seeing that this government
    chattel would, since they hadn't give their lives for their
    country, give their minds and souls and too often their
    children's minds and souls for it.

    In any of the professions it's hard to find a whistle blower.
    Seldom will one lawyer speak ill of a peer. Even harder is it to
    find justice in the self-regulated profession of health --
    especially mental health. Doctor's seldom bear witness against
    other doctors. A good example of the insular attitude which sees
    regulatory board members looking the other way was the case of
    Dr. William Jennings Bryan III (WJB3). Great grandson of the
    great orator William Jennings Bryan, WJB3 was the director of the
    American Institute of Hypnosis in Los Angeles from the fifties to
    his death in the seventies.

    Bryan was an innovator in the application of the uses of
    hypnosis. He designed a switchboard of electronic instruments
    which made it possible for him to hypnotize and monitor the
    feedback from three different clients at the same time. He had a
    taste for beautiful women, so, after he found beauties who were
    also highly suggestible, he encouraged them to pay him a
    "professional" visit.

    "Psychiatry in the second half of the twentieth century has
    undoubtedly been strongly skewed -- not by an agenda that has to
    do with academic research, not by the best interest of clients,
    not by ethical psychiatry -- but by an intelligence agenda..."

      -- Colin A. Ross, M.D.

    During such sessions, after the women were in a
    "deep, deep sleep," WJB3 would slip into the room where they were
    lying on the couch and make suggestions which would eventually
    open them to accepting his sexual advances -- maybe while they
    were imagining they were having sex with their husbands, or some
    Hollywood icon of their dreams. While WJB3 might have thought of
    this as just a little creative visualization, some of the women
    eventually remembered episodes of this hypno-rape, and four of
    them pressed charges of sexual assault against him.

    According to the April 22, 1969 Los Angeles Times, the
    California State Board of Medical Examiners found William
    Jennings Bryan III guilty of "unprofessional conduct in four
    cases involving sexual molesting of female patients." The
    penalty for this offense was five years probation -- a typical
    slap on the wrist for shrinks who are working for the
    cryptocracy. The Canadian psychiatrist, Dr. Ewen Cameron was the
    former head of the Quebec Psychiatric Association, the Canadian
    Psychiatric Association, the American Psychiatric Association,
    the World Psychiatric Association (the founder of the WPA, in
    fact), and the one-time President of the Association for
    Biological Psychiatry has been described as the most
    "politically connected a guy as ever existed in the entire field
    of psychiatry in the 20th Century." This Canadian shrink was
    funded through MKULTRA and Human Ecology Foundation, did LSD and
    other hallucinogen research funded by both the Canadian military
    and the CIA.

    Cameron is one of the central figures in Gordon Thomas' book
    Journey Into Madness. Cameron developed an insidious technique of
    torture called "psychic driving" which produced Differential
    Amnesia and Schizophrenic appearing conditions. He gave his
    secret test subjects hundreds of ECT (electroshock) treatments
    using the Paige-Russell technique, in which the shock switch is
    thrown six times during a treatment instead of once. Then the
    "patients" would be given barbiturates and a deep, deep,
    neuroleptic sleep would be induced for three months or so. When
    the subjects finally came out of their comas they were usually
    depressed, disoriented, incontinent, and unable to state their
    names, read, drive an automobile, have sexual relations, cook,
    use the toilet, or recognize their spouses or children. This must
    have been of great use to the cryptocracy which supported such
    research for around fifty years since it appears that the
    cryptocracy is still supporting more advanced research in which
    possession and control of the human mind and soul is the targeted
    outcome.

    Dr. Cameron escaped prosecution because no one knew about (or
    could remember) his criminal research until after his death. When
    news of his "experiments" was made public, the CIA was sued and
    quickly paid the mentally damaged subjects of Dr. Cameron's
    cryptocratic curiosity millions of dollars in out-of-court
    settlements. That figure might have been much greater had the
    majority of the subjects not died prematurely. The history of
    the CIA's search for tools to create and managed the perfect
    slave state are chronicled in a variety of books. But the
    profession has largely ignored this information, often giving the
    authors the armchair diagnosis as "cranks" and "paranoids."

    But there are heroes even among psychiatrists. At least one, a
    Canadian Psychiatrist, Dr. Colin Ross, has begun to put a lot of
    time into trying to identify and correct the wrongs done by his
    countryman Cameron and his peers in the profession.

    Ross said: "Virtually every leading psychiatrist in North America
    between the 1940's and the 1970's was involved in some aspect of
    the CIA's mind control research."

    At a workshop he held at the 9th Annual Western Clinical
    Conference on Trauma and Dissociation in Costa Mesa, California,
    last April, Ross offered a preview of the research he's uncovered
    for a new book. He said, "When I systematically started looking
    into CIA military mind control, the more I looked, the more solid
    reality there was there. And as you will see as we go through
    these slides, and through this talk, it's a completely different
    deal from SRA. Somewhere out there in the justice system, there
    may actually be objective evidence where somebody has actually
    busted a SRA cult. If there is, that information is not
    generally publicly available to us. It is a fact that we have not
    nailed down human ritual sacrifice cults in North America if
    they exist. So it's all conjecture ... I will prove to you,
    completely locked down, documented, proven, beyond dispute or
    discussion that intelligence agencies have been creating
    Manchurian candidates and MPD for operational use since the
    Second World War."

    "This is not a conspiracy theory," he said, "This is a fact." Now
    that's very amazing," Ross said, "because if you took an opinion
    poll of all the psychiatrists in the American Psychiatric
    Association today -- or you took the same poll five years ago,
    over 99% of the psychiatrists would say 'It's fiction. We know
    the movie is fiction, Frank Sinatra (in the Manchurian Candidate)
    did a good job, but there's just no way, it's absolutely
    impossible.' There might be two outlaw psychiatrists in the whole
    group who would say that it's possible that Manchurian
    candidates are real. This is a very, very strange phenomena
    that actually, in 1996, this is a completely documented fact --
    it's a very strange sociological development in the field of
    psychiatry."

    "How could that be possible? Well, I'm going to try and explain
    how it's possible. So that's what I am going to talk about.
    Also I am going to talk about not just creating Manchurian
    Candidates, but the whole network of mind control doctors that is
    involved in this and supports this -- this kind of old boys'
    network that maintains all of this. And you will see a whole
    bunch of slides with godzillian interconnections that I will go
    into in detail. And every one of those steps -- unless I
    otherwise specify -- is completely documented. Absolutely
    objective in full.

    "There is something real peculiar about the whole story. It's a
    very strange story. It tells us that there is something going on
    in our culture and in the mental health field that is hidden and
    secret. This is another kind of incest secret in the field of
    psychiatry that all of these people who have been running
    psychiatry in the latter half of the 20th century are either
    directly or loosely connected to a whole huge universe of covert,
    hidden, secretly funded mind control research, and as emphasized,
    that's a fact... If, in fact, experimental MPD has been created
    and has been tight and hard and real enough for operational use
    by intelligence agencies for the last 50 years, then it is
    something of interest to the dissociative disorders field. This
    is profound evidence in favor of the iatrogenic (doctor
    induced) pathway to DID that I talked about this morning.

    "When I combine the expert witness experience that I have had at
    clinically created iatrogenic DID using the techniques of
    destructive psychotherapy cults in the course of persuasion, as I
    described this morning -- when I take that expert witness
    evidence and see those cases created out of a base of no
    preexisting DID and then I go to this CIA military mind-control
    literature, my only possible conclusion is, yes, you can create
    full tilt DID artificially from ground zero. Also, I have to
    conclude that you can create any degree of complexity,
    permutations of false memory that you want. There is absolutely
    no limit on the quantity, complexity, reality, congruence,
    plausibility of false memories that you can insert in somebody's
    mind -- wittingly or unwittingly.

    "They didn't tell me that in medical school?

    "This is a little sub-paradigm revolution in the DID field.

    "There is a huge wealth of information, experimental information,
    clinical anecdotal information, and operational street smarts
    knowledge of DID that's been up and running and full tilt in the
    mental health field for 50 years now. This did not spring out of
    nowhere in 1980, and we are missing a ton of experimental
    research data that's still classified that bears directly on this
    false memory debate that is going on in our society now. And you
    will see some of the players in this whole scenario of
    interesting people..." Ross pointed out that it was not just
    psychiatrists and psychologists involved in the search for the
    way to create a "psycho-civilized society" but also sociologists,
    linguists, cyberneticists and other professionals (even a
    magician or two -- men who were expert in micro-muscle movement
    reading), people from the World War Two and Cold War generations.
    Today mind control research has bled into many other specialized
    areas and comes up under the general heading of "cognitive
    sciences," which includes biomedicine, anesthesiology,
    neurology, cybernetics, linguistics, neural networking in the
    computer science departments and so forth. All of these
    projects are scattered and compartmentalized so that one
    researcher usually doesn't know what another is doing, but the
    funders (the black budget spenders of the U.S. and other
    governments) collect all the data and put it together for the
    final devastating applications.

    In his workshop Ross offered the names of some of the more
    insidious doctors and the institutions which supported them. At
    the top of the list was Dr. George Estabrooks who, in 1950 wrote:
    "I can hypnotize a man -- without his knowledge or consent --
    into committing treason against the United States." Ross
    described Estabrooks as a pivotal figure in the cryptocracy's
    mind-control research. He drew an elaborate map connecting
    Estabrooks to the CIA's MKULTRA research, the FBI and other
    agencies. Then, he named the following professionals as part of
    the mind control conspiracy: William C. Hollinger, L. Wilson
    Green, Richard Ofshe (Sociologist), James Hamilton, Harold
    Abramson, Carl Pfeiffer, Louis Jolyon West (Psychiatrist UCLA),
    Carl Rogers, Martin T. Orne, George White (Army Col, CIA, BNDD),
    Maitland Baldwin, Harold Wolff, Raymond Prince (Mass. General
    Hospital), R. Gordon Wasson (stock broker and mycologist
    mushroom expert), John Mulholland (magician), B.F. Skinner
    (Harvard Behaviorist), Garner Murphy (Harvard), E.R. Hilgard
    (member of DSM IV Dissociative Disorders Committee), Ron Shore
    (collaborator with Martin Orne) Milton Erickson (Psychiatrist and
    inspiration for Neurolinguistics Programming), Daniel X.
    Friedman (Editor of Archives of the Journal of Psychiatry
    1970-1993), Allen Dulles (Director CIA 1953-1961), Loretta
    Bender, Paul Hawk (psychiatrist who killed Harold Blauer in 1953
    with an inject of supposed mescaline), Robert White (Harvard), J.
    Edgar Hoover (Director of the FBI), John Gittinger (CIA
    psychologist), Robert Lifton (psychiatrist and well-known author),
    Margaret Singer (psychologist, author of "Cults in Our Midst"),
    Paul McHugh (Chairman of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins), James
    Whitehorn (former Chairman of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins and
    advisor of the Human Ecology Foundation with Top Secret
    Clearance), Harold Lief (advisor of the False Memory Syndrome
    Foundation), Colston Westbrook (CIA Psy-War expert who worked at
    Vacaville Prison with prisoners such as Donald Defreeze and
    Timothy Leary), Robert Heath (doing brain electrode implant
    research at Tulane), Francisco Silva (Cuban psychiatrist who
    allegedly put Lee Harvey Oswald up in his home and got him a job
    at the hospital where Silva worked prior to the assassination),
    Mark Sweet (collaborator with L.J. West for the UCLA Violence
    Project), Wagner Joreg (son of Wagner Joreg who won the Nobel
    Prize for treating syphilis with malaria), Amadeo Morazzi (LSD
    researcher at the University of Minnesota), Gregory Bateson,
    Allen Ginsburg, Ken Kesey, Sydney Mallett, and the list goes on.

    Ross linked dozens of institutions to the research which, he
    said he suspects, is still going on in one form or another. Among
    the institutions he reeled off the top of his head were: Butler
    Hospital Health Center (part of Harvard), Children's International
    Summer Village, Columbia University, Cornell University, Denver
    University, Emory College, Florida University, George Washington
    University, Harvard University, Houston University, Illinois
    University, Indiana University, Johns Hopkins University, Eli
    Lilly Pharmaceuticals, University of Minnesota, New Jersey
    Reformatory, Bordentown in Tennessee, Ohio University, University
    of Pennsylvania, Penn State University, Princeton University,
    Stanford University, Wisconsin University, University of Texas,
    University of Oklahoma, McGill, the National Institute of Health,
    the National Institute of Mental Health, the New Jersey
    Psychiatric Research Institute, National Philosophical Society,
    Office of Naval Research, Worcester Foundation for Experimental
    Biology, Vacaville State Prison, Public Health Service, Cornell,
    Bureau of Narcotics, Bureau of Prisons, and many others.

    "You get the idea," Ross said. Then, the well-prepared
    researcher gave a litany of declassified code names under which
    many of these atrocities occurred: MKULTRA, MKSEARCH, MKNAOMI,
    ARTICHOKE, BLUEBIRD, STARGATE, CHATTER, OFTEN, CHICKWIT,
    DERBYHAT, THIRD CHANCE, MKDELTA, QK HILLTOP and others.

    "It just shows you," Ross said, "the theme here is not that there
    is a military intelligence conspiracy to cover up Manchurian
    Candidate creation with the myth of borderline personality
    disorder. The point now is more of a global general meta point
    which is: this whole network of old boys in psychiatry and
    psychology, who were covertly funded for part of the military and
    CIA intelligence mind-control network, are very influential in
    the history of psychiatry in a kind of nebulous fashion that just
    permeates the whole field. It isn't part of the sort of
    one-to-one correspondences that I have been showing before. It's
    a matter of the whole mind set of psychiatry -- how we think
    about borderlines (Borderline Personality Disorder), how we think
    about temporal lobe epilepsy, how we are going to react to MPD?
    "The point is that the history of psychiatry in the second half
    of the twentieth century has undoubtedly been strongly skewed --
    not by an agenda that has to do with academic research, not by
    the best interest of clients, not by ethical psychiatry -- but by
    an Intelligence agenda." Ross said that the full story of the
    CIA's involvement with his profession is still unknown. "We are
    missing a ton of experimental research data that's still
    classified that bears directly on this false memory debate that
    is going on in our society now."

    In an attempt to uncover more information Ross visited the CIA
    Reading Room in Washington, D.C. He said it was "a very unusual
    experience," and dealt with it with humor, as a skilled
    psychiatrist would deal with a client suffering from Dissociated
    Identity Disorder.

    "This is the way it goes in trying to document this stuff and
    trying to make it public and identify the specific individuals.
    It's a big slow job. And when you make Freedom of Information
    requests, it's like interacting with any Federal Bureaucracy."
    Ross said that, in fact, the CIA had been extremely helpful to
    him. The CIA, he said, was "extremely polite, extremely courteous
    when I went to the CIA Reading Room..."

    "Let me just tell you the story.," Ross said, "Here I am, a
    Canadian psychiatrist, going down to the Eastern Regional
    Conference, and a day early I pop over to the CIA Reading Room to
    look at the MKULTRA documents to figure out which ones I want to
    order at 10 cents a page which they then shipped to me. It
    arrives at my office via UPS with CIA stamped in the corner. I'm
    wondering who thinks that's weird?"

    Ross said he found the CIA Reading Room "just this building in
    Virginia on a street. It is completely unrecognizable as
    anything. I get dropped off there ... whoa ... there's all these
    guys in uniforms and here I am, this civilian."

    "I go walking along accompanied by this CIA person, and I go into
    the first room which has a steel vault door and says 'Secured
    Area: Treasury Department.' I go into that room and they close
    the door. I am now in a 'Secured Area.' I sit down and they bring
    in all the documents on a little cart and (an elderly woman)
    gives me 15-20 pencils beautifully sharpened, and a notepad and
    everything. You order which documents you want at the end of the
    day.

    "I am sitting there working away on this huge amount of
    documents all day," Ross said.

    "Work, work, work, work ...

    "Some time in the middle of the day this old woman comes at me.
    Now I am thinking, is this old woman trying to pump me for
    information? What's here? (Is she) going to report back at the
    end of the day? She says, 'Well, what's that stuff you are
    reading?' I am trying to act casually, I just say, 'Well, it's
    just a bunch of mind control documents from the 50's and 60's.'
    And she says, 'Is that stuff classified?' And I say, 'No, no.
    It was declassified a long time ago,' And she says, 'Well what
    do they need me here for?' And I said, 'I don't know.' And then
    I stopped talking to her and I started focusing down on the
    paper."

    Ross said his "beef" was not with the intelligence community or
    the CIA, but with the psychiatrists and psychologist "who created
    a little loophole where they can step out of normal ethical
    oversight, violate the Hippocratic Oath, get away with it, not
    talk about it. It's just like the conspiracy to keep incest under
    the carpet. This is all conspired and kept under the carpet - not
    by twelve guys in a room at Langley who are doing the planning,
    but just by this pervasive old boys network. That's what keeps
    the mind control secret down just like it kept the incest secret
    down. So that's another reason why this is important, and needs
    to be uncovered..."

    "...The idea that there could be a deliberate disinformation
    campaign element to the False Memory movement is perfectly
    plausible, consistent with history, and could be expected. There
    is bound to be some sort of disinformation strategy if, in fact,
    Manchurian Candidates have been leaking out into civilian
    psychotherapy. So here we have, with all of this documentation,
    all of this proof -- we know that it is perfectly possible that
    people we are seeing in therapy who are claiming to be victims of
    systematic military mind-control experimentation are telling us
    about what actually happened to them...

    "We have a major disinformation campaign which has basically
    fooled mental health professionals and the general public
    concerning brain-washing, concerning LSD.

    "Fortunately those are the only two examples in human history,"
    Ross said with sarcasm. "This analysis does not apply to the
    False Memory movement. There is no way it could conceivably be
    possible, you will all agree, that there could not be any
    nervousness in the Intelligence Community about Manchurian
    Candidates spilling out into civilian psychotherapies and that a
    disinformation program based on False Memories would be required.
    It is obviously absurd."

    Ross continued his sarcasm, saying: "Nobody but a CIA conspiracy
    nut would ever suggest that. I guarantee you that that thought
    has never even crossed my mind until it just spontaneously
    appeared at this moment."

    Then, after the laughter subsided, Ross resumed, in total
    seriousness, speaking of the declassified documents from the
    Atomic Energy Commission, alluding to the testimony before the
    President's Commission on Radiation at which victims of mind
    control testified they had been experimented upon with
    radioactive materials as children.

    "This is no longer vague," he said. "We know the specific names
    of people, when they died, whether it was plutonium or whatever
    was injected, the names of the doctors, the names of the medical
    schools where it was done, it's all keyed up for compensation,
    the government has set up a whole compensation mechanism..."

    Dr. Ross' book, Dissociative Identity Disorder, Diagnosis,
    Clinical Features, and Treatment of Multiple Personality is
    scheduled for release by the publishers John Wiley and Sons,
    N.Y., in December, 1996.

    Journey Into Madness, by Gordon Thomas, was published in 1989 by
    Bantam Books, NYC.
