    PKD, THE UNICORN AND SOVIET PSYCHOTRONICS

    By Adam Gorightly

    December 1993

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

    Phillip K. Dick, the late schizoid, Sci-Fi author and Ira ("The
    Unicorn") Einhorn, sixties radical activist turned seventies New
    Age networker cum fugitive axe-murderer, began a correspondence
    in early February of '78 centered around Dick's firmly held (on
    shaky ground) belief that the Russians were beaming psychotronic
    transmissions via satellite into his already somewhat disturbed
    mind.

    According to Dick -- often known for his far-out flights of
    paranoiac fancy -- these "microwave-boosted, telepathic
    transmissions," as he called them, commenced on March 20, 1974,
    showering Dick with endless reams and streams of visual and audio
    data. Initially, this overpowering onslaught of messages Phil
    reluctantly received were extremely unpleasant and, as he termed
    them, "die messages." Within the following week he reported being
    kept awake by "violet phosphene activity, eight hours
    uninterrupted." A description of this event in a fictionalized
    version appears in Dick's brilliant, though demented, anti-drug
    novel _A Scanner, Darkly_. The content of this phosphene activity
    was in the form of modern, abstract graphics followed by Soviet
    music serenading his head, in addition to Russian names and words
    appearing there as well. The ever speculating Phil conjectured
    that a radical drop in GABA fluid -- in his brilliant but balmy
    brain -- might've accounted for these strange voices and images,
    though he was at a loss to further explain exactly what would
    have precipitated such a drop in his GABA fluid, which
    conveniently lent more credence to his original theory, as crazy
    as it sounded to even his own buzzing ears, tuned into -- as
    they were -- this foreign frequency that had invaded his mind.

    In recent years various info on remote mind-control technology
    has filtered into the conspiracy research community through
    various fringe publications such as _Full Disclosure_,
    _Resonance_ and countless others including a Finnish gentleman by
    the name of Martti Koski and his booklet _My Life Depends On
    You_. Over the years Mr. Koski has been sharing with our mind
    controlled world at large his horrifying tale, documenting as it
    does the discovery of rampant brain tampering committed upon
    himself and others, including documents concerning one Robert
    Naeslund, another victim of brain-research. The perpetrators of
    these evil doings included, allegedly, the Royal Canadian Mounted
    Police (RMCP), The CIA and Finnish Intelligence among countless
    other covert intelligence agencies. (In _Secret and Suppressed_,
    edited by Jim Keith, a remote mind-control testimonial appears
    entitled "An Open Letter To The Swedish Prime Minister Regarding
    Electromagnetic Terror", authored by the aforementioned R.
    Naeslund.)

    Another legendary figure in the arcane annals of conspiracy
    research -- and ranter extraordinaire -- Kerry Wendell Thornley
    claims that while serving in the Marines with his buddy Lee
    Oswald, he became subject to just this sort of mind-control
    scenario; having had planted -- unbeknownst to him at the
    time -- into the base of his neck, some sort of high tech implant
    which enabled Thornley to receive malevolent transmissions from
    military intelligence or others of that ilk, who were tampering
    with Thornley's brain for reasons far too complex to even attempt
    to broach at this time, as it would swerve us away from the topic
    at hand into even weirder realms concerning a genetic breeding
    experiment which Thornley believes he fell prey to at the hands
    of Nazi controllers. (Refer to the Kenn Thomas' audio interview
    of Thornley available through _SteamShovel Press_.)

    Along this same twisted line, I'm reminded of an incident
    related to me a few years ago when a close friend of mine
    suffered a nervous breakdown, and was diagnosed a paranoid
    schizophrenic as a result of malevolent voices he was hearing
    in his head. My friend believed that a group called "The Laser
    People" were trying to drive him bonkers (and perhaps
    succeeded) via lasers, which were perhaps, more accurately,
    psychotronic devices beaming these voices his way. He's doing
    better these days, I'm glad to say, due to a medication that
    quiets these voices in his mind. But I often wonder if, in fact,
    my friend was the unfortunate recipient of a mind-control
    experiment. And if this is the case, then did his malevolent
    controllers meet their objective, in that they now have another
    narcotized subject under their control, who poses no threat to
    their power control-structure? I'm not implying my friend was
    some great threat to this power structure, but he was indeed a
    rebellious character, and if they could do this to him on an
    experimental basis, then maybe it would work on others whom the
    "invisible government" deems dangerous.

    Dick initiated his correspondence with Ira Einhorn due to a
    letter written by Einhorn that Phil read in _CoEvolution_ in
    early '78, which examined the work of Nicola Tesla vis-a-vis the
    transmission of electric energy through the ethers without aid of
    electrical power lines. From the mid to late seventies,
    Einhorn -- also known as "The Unicorn" -- had constructed a vast
    network of contacts in the intent of creating, as he described
    it, "...an international conspiracy to make the planet more
    livable." Among these contacts was Lt. Col. Thomas Bearden,
    author of several books including _Fer-De-Lance: A Briefing on
    Soviet Scalar Electromagnetic Weapons_, which contends that the
    Russians -- through the use of this hidden technology that Tesla
    discovered around the turn of the century -- had been not only
    modifying US weather patterns with electromagnetic waves but as
    well had developed a "death ray" which they were using in the
    late seventies/early eighties in Afghanistan.

    Ira Einhorn -- a sixties radical -- first emerged to major media
    prominence as master of ceremonies for the first "Earth Day" in
    Philadelphia, in 1970. This instant recognition gave Einhorn
    immediate access to the best minds of his generation.
    Furthermore, his networking and consulting skills not only
    enamored him with those in The New Age movement, but also
    captured the imaginations of such corporate giants as AT&T who
    hired Einhorn as a consultant to better tap them into the New
    Age information highway that was just then underway.

    Shockingly -- on April 28, 1979 -- the remains of Einhorn's
    long time girlfriend, Holly Maddux, were found in a steamer
    trunk in Einhorn's apartment, the victim of an axe-murder.
    Einhorn was subsequently arrested, but denied murdering Maddux,
    saying -- in essence -- that The CIA had set him up because of
    certain information he'd become privy to through his vast
    network of Aquarian conspirators. Einhorn hired former Warren
    Commission lawyer Arlen Spector to represent him, which takes
    this tale on another sordid twist, in that Specter was the
    infamous creator of "The Magic Bullet Theory" which convicted
    a defenseless Lee Oswald from the grave. While out on bond,
    Einhorn skipped the country, and has been seen in recent years
    in Ireland -- among other foreign countries -- assuming a
    false identity with a new girlfriend. When in Ireland someone
    discovered his identity, The Unicorn promptly left for parts
    unknown, and the last I heard is still at large to this day.

    Did The Unicorn perhaps stumble upon certain dark secrets
    regarding psychotronics and mind control that led him into a
    frame job by intelligence agents? The evidence against
    Einhorn -- according to Steven Levy in _The Unicorn's Secret:
    Murder in the Age of Aquarius_ -- seemed quite incriminating.
    Even some of Einhorn's staunchist supporters -- who, when
    informed of the Maddux murder, stood unflinchingly by his side
    -- afterwards came to doubt Einhorn when the evidence became
    apparent that in fact he was most likely guilty of the crime.
    The one person who seems to have stood by Ira Einhorn all the
    way down the line was Tom Beardon, who -- as stated before --
    shared many of the Unicorn's conspiracy theories regarding the
    use of psychotronics to monitor and control human behavior and
    modify weather patterns. Unfortunately, we'll probably never
    know the full story of what happened to Holly Maddux, and if
    this whole sordid tale was spun around a tangled web of
    psychotronics, murder and mind control with Ira Einhorn
    made the ceremonial scapegoat to a tragic conspiracy.

    In all my readings of Dick, I've never once seen mention of
    anything in regards to brain implants, which I find rather odd
    in that all the other cases where I've researched this sort of
    brain tampering, implants seem always to play a pivotal role.
    Personally, I believe Phil might've received a brain implant
    during dental surgery which occurred just prior to his fabled
    first visit from VALIS (Vast Active Living Intelligence
    System) chronicled in his novel's _Radio Free Albemuth_, and,
    of course, _VALIS_, the fictionalized accounts of these bizarre,
    though real life occurrences which began in March, 1974. (Also
    see the autobiographical account of this documented in Dick's
    _Exegesis_.)

    As the story goes, Phil went one day to have some major work
    done on his teeth, and later -- when he arrived back home -- a
    delivery was made from the local pharmacy of a pain killer to
    soothe Phil's aching mouth. The deliverer of this bottle of
    relief was none other than a hip, foxy chick, with a "Christian
    fish" hanging from her neck. I'll not pursue now the deep
    significance of this Christian fish symbol, but suffice it to say
    it's impact upon Phil was enormous in respect to the events that
    transpired after this fish swam into his life over rolling waves
    of breast and cleavage. The young lady in question said a few
    cryptic words then mysteriously disappeared forever into the
    ocean of human life. Phil theorized that this young lady -- who
    claimed to be a Christian -- delivered unto him at this time
    some sort of veiled gnostic knowledge, which proceeded to unfold
    it's answers gradually to a whole host of hidden metaphysical
    secrets for several years afterwards.

    Another scenario might have been that this young lady was on an
    intelligence mission, delivering some kind of drug to not only
    soothe Phil's pain ridden mouth, but that would also help
    activate the hidden devices that'd surreptiously been inserted
    into his head during the dental surgery. Another possible
    explanation is that the short cryptic sentence "The Fish Lady"
    uttered was in reality some sort of codeword which triggered
    this mind-control apparatus into operation. Oddly enough, it
    was later, on this very same day, that Phil's "visions" first
    appeared.

    To suggest that a dentist might have planted psychotronic
    receptors into the mouth and head of the greatest science
    fiction writer of all time might seem utterly preposterous, but
    nonetheless connections of certain dentists to mind-control
    implants is not a new one, and the opportunity to insert said
    devices during dental surgery -- while the patient's anesthetized
    mind is off dancing in the merry land of nitrous oxide -- is most
    definitely there, and one that wouldn't readily be suspected by
    his/her patient/victim.

    According to master conspiratologist John Judge, Uri Geller's
    "...dentist was the person who first developed the patents on six
    different of the earliest mind-control devices for the CIA and
    military intelligence, which were actually radio transmitter
    implants into the jaw and teeth so that instructions could be
    heard through the teeth..." quoting Judge verbatim.

    Coincidentally, (or maybe not so coincidentally) Ira Einhorn had
    formed an intense relationship with not only Uri Geller but with
    his mentor, Dr. Andrija Puharich, whose respective characters in
    recent years have both been called into question in regards to
    suspicious intelligence contacts and the spread of disinformation
    and hoax proliferation vis-a-vis UFO's and psychic phenomena.

    What interest, one might ask, would intelligence agencies have
    had in Phil Dick? Well, one area might have been his anti-war
    stance, where -- in the late sixties -- Phil signed a petition
    which appeared in _Ramparts_ opposing America's involvement in
    Vietnam. Shortly thereafter, his apartment was ransacked and a
    safe blown open, and various documents stolen. Phil at the time
    suspected the CIA and/or FBI to be responsible for the break-in.

    Even though at the outset, Phil felt the emanations invading
    his mind were of a malevolent nature, in time he began to believe
    they were something entirely different. In a letter to Einhorn
    dated February 10, 1978, Phil went into more depth on these
    psychotronic transmissions, claiming that they "seemed sentient."
    Phil felt that an alien life form existing in some upper layer of
    the Earth's atmosphere had been attracted by the Soviet
    psychotronic transmissions. Apparently, this alien life form
    operated as a "station," tapping into some sort of interplanetary
    communication grid that, "...contained and transmitted vast
    amounts of information." Initially, what Phil received were the
    Soviet transmissions, but eventually this alien life form -- whom
    Phil called "Zebra" (and later, VALIS) -- became "...attracted or
    potentiated by the Soviet microwave psychotronic transmissions,"
    which paralleled similar experiences Nicola Tesla had had with
    ETI's, where Tesla had been contacted by "...what he believed to
    be signals from another planet," quoting Einhorn from
    _CoEvolution_.

    Over the years that followed, this alien entity -- according to
    Dick -- vastly improved his mental and physical well being in a
    number of ways. It (Zebra) gave Phil "...complex and accurate
    information about myself and also about our infant son, which,
    Zebra said, had a critical and undiagnosed birth defect which
    required emergency and immediate surgery. My wife rushed our baby
    to the doctor and told the doctor what I had said (more precisely
    what Zebra had said to me) and the doctor discovered that it was
    so. Surgery was scheduled for the following day -- i.e., as soon
    as possible. Our son would have died otherwise." (Phil wasn't
    just blowing smoke about this incident. His wife Tessa, and
    others have since confirmed this story regarding the medical
    conditions of himself and son, Christopher.)

    Phil felt Zebra was totally benign, and it held great contempt
    for the Soviets and their psychotronic experiments. Furthermore,
    Zebra informed Phil that the Earth was dying, and that spraycans
    were "...destroying the layer of atmosphere in which
    Zebra...existed."

    Some have questioned whether in fact Phil had created an immense
    hoax re: Zebra/VALIS, or if he was, actually, "crazy as a
    soapdish," as Harlan Ellison recently stated in an interview
    with Larry King. Were his visions simply delusions -- as many
    believe -- which Phil tried to make some sense of throughout
    his many entries in the _Exegesis_? From a clinical standpoint,
    a condition known as "frontal lobe epilepsy" might explain these
    visions which appeared to Phil. Or could it all have been
    exactly as Phil first assumed: Psychotronic mind-control
    transmissions beamed at him from Russia, or God knows where
    else?

    Or was ol' Phil just pulling our gullible legs? The same could
    be asked of Kerry Thornley, and his many tall tales of sinister
    spiders spinning conspiratorial webs.

    My response is, well, yes, they both probably have pulled our
    legs a bit, but so what? It's sure made the world a helluva lot
    more interesting place to live in -- has it not -- what with
    the twisted tales they've shared of alien and foreign
    influences beaming microwave missives into their abstruse
    minds?
