    CIA CULTS & ANTI-CULTS

    By Alex Constantine

    January 1997

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

    J.S.: Alex, do you have any information concerning Dr. Louis
    Jolyon West, Margaret Singer and CIA connections?

    A.C.: From _Virtual Government_:

    "CIA observers everywhere choked when CNN announced that a
    psychological trauma team, mustered by the American Psychological
    Association, would converge in Oklahoma City to treat survivors
    of the explosion and the victims' families -- led by none other
    than Dr. Louis Jolyon West of UCLA's Neuropsychiatric Institute,
    the breeding ground of some of the most necrotizing Dr.
    Strangeloves in the mind-control business. Alumni emeritus of the
    Institute include Dr. Ross Adey, a former NASA brain scientist
    with much experience working alongside Nazi doctors who resettled
    in the U.S. after the war....

    "Dr. West is a sinister creation of the Agency's mind-control
    fraternity. Among other totalitarian projects, he has studied the
    use of drugs as "adjuncts to interpersonal manipulation or
    assault," and employed pioneers in the field of remote electronic
    brain experimentation at UCLA.

    "West has recommended to federal officials that drugs be used to
    control "bothersome" political segments of the population:

    "'This method, foreseen by Aldous Huxley [in Brave New World
    (1932)], has the governing element employing drugs selectively to
    manipulate the governed in various ways. In fact, it may be more
    convenient and perhaps even more economical to keep the growing
    numbers of chronic drug users (especially of the hallucinogens)
    fairly isolated and also out of the labor market, with its
    millions of unemployed.

    "'To society, the communards with their hallucinogenic drugs are
    probably less bothersome -- and less expensive -- if they are
    living apart than if they are engaging in alternative modes of
    expressing their alienation, such as active, organized, vigorous
    political protest and dissent.'"

    Another cite concerning the signally fascistic Dr. West:

    "In 'Pseudo-Identity and the Treatment of Personality Change in
    Victims of Captivity and Cults' (1994), Dr. Louis 'Jolly' West
    examines the creation of "changelings," or dissociative
    personalities that enable the subject of mind-control
    conditioning to adapt to trauma. 'Prolonged environmental
    stress,' UCLA's own ranking CIA mind-control specialist observed
    (in a drastic departure from the public stance of the False
    Memory Syndrome Foundation, an organization he formerly directed
    as an advisory board member, on multiplicity), 'or life
    situations profoundly different from the usual, can disrupt the
    normally integrative functions of personality. Individuals
    subjected to such forces may adapt through dissociation by
    generating an altered persona, or pseudo-identity.'

    "Patricia Hearst (examined by Dr. West for trial) hosted an
    alternate personality named 'Pearl,' he offers, a manifestation
    more distinct and individuated than 'Tania.' The newspaper
    heiress was subjected to a regimen of 'persuasive coercion' (a
    very personal form of harassment by an organized group, any form
    of intimidation short of violence) and trauma-induced programmimg
    (of a sort developed by CIA specialists like Dr. West) -
    'violently abducted by members of the [CIA-mustered] Symbionese
    Liberation Army in February of 1974, brutalized, raped, tortured,
    and forced to participate in illegal acts beginning with the bank
    robbery for which she was later (in our view wrongly) convicted.
    The traumatic kidnapping and subsequent 2 months of torture
    produced in her a state of emotional regression and fearful
    compliance with the demands and expectations of her captors. This
    was quickly followed by the coerced transformation of Patty into
    Tania and subsequently (less well known to the public) into
    Pearl, after additional trauma over a period of many months
    (Hearst & Moscow, 1988; The Trial of Patty Hearst, 1976). Tania
    was merely a role coerced on pain of death; it was Pearl who
    later represented the pseudo-identity which was found on
    psychiatric examination by one of us (West) shortly after
    Hearst's arrest by the FBI. Chronic symptoms of PTSD were also
    prominent in this case.'"

    J.S.: At the ISSD conference, the keynote speaker, Stephen
    Marmer, began his terrible talk with references to his mentors at
    UCLA. One of them was West. Then another person I know mentioned
    knowing Margaret Singer, and thinks she "doesn't understand the
    basis of mind control very well."

    A.C.: She understands it with Panavision clarity. Singer, who
    worked with Jolly at the community-based Haight-Ashbury LSD
    culture lab, hails from the Fund for Human Ecology days when she
    worked on CIA "brainwashing" projects with Robert Jay Lifton,
    another "scholar," the author of _The Nazi Doctors_, which is
    short on names and long on the study of converting medical
    professionals into Nazi sadists. She has also been on the board
    of the American Family Foundation (AFF), another appendage of the
    CFF, a particularly oily, very "right-wing" CIA dummy front.
    Singer has been involved with the Theological Seminary in
    Berkeley; the university is the home of much mind-control chaos
    in California, ala Jim Jones.

    J.S.: I had heard that she understands all too well, but from
    the wrong side. Anyway, I'm trying to sort out the truth from the
    rumor mill, which is quite a daunting task. Also, what do you
    know about the origins of Cult Awareness Network?

    A.C.: CAN was as vile a coalition of mind-control types as you
    will find this side of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation. The
    Cult Awareness Network was founded in 1974, incorporated under
    the name Citizens Freedom Foundation (CFF). The CFF officially
    changed its name to CAN in 1986.

    CAN's founder was Ted Patrick, a known crony of the sinister
    Ronald Reagan. The CAN network was run for a spell by Patricia
    Ryan, the daughter of Leo Ryan, a cruel irony considering the
    central role of the CIA in the Jones cult's formation and
    grotesque human ruins. Patrick was a three-time felon.

    Cult "investigator" Steve Hassan, the national coordinator of
    FOCUS, a CAN affiliate group, is still an active spin doctor and
    "deprogrammer." You can find him on the Web.

    In West Virginia, CAN leader John Overington, a state legislator,
    was an advocate of Oliver North and the Iran-Contra crowd. (He
    also sponsored a bill that would force all X-rated peep-show
    parlors to install bathrooms.) CAN president Rev. Michael Rokos
    was forced to step down after it leaked out that he'd been
    arrested for soliciting young male prostitutes. The arrest
    report, filed by police cadet Joseph Wyatt, 22, working
    undercover at the time of the arrest, mentions that Rokos told
    the officer, "I want you to go home with me. I want you to tie me
    up, put clothes pins on my nipples and make me suck your d**k."

    CAN Doctors West and Singer were both feted by the Cult Awareness
    Network when it was a going concern, a spin-off of the CFF, a
    known CIA appendage. Singer and CAN exploited the Branch Davidian
    stand-off in Waco to promote an alternate history of cult
    activity, one that excluded discussion of the intelligence
    services and the federal mind-control initiative. After the
    conflagration in Waco, Dr. West told reporters that the FBI's
    handling of the crisis was "terrific, outstanding."

    Cynthia Kisser, the executive director of CAN, was once a topless
    dancer and defended pedophiles in Omaha, Nebraska. That was about
    the caliber of the organization's leadership. Over in CAN's
    security division, you found Larry Kahaner, a private
    investigator in Alexandria, Virginia, and Galen Kelley, who was
    close with the FBI, and once boasted that one of his
    responsibilities was to keep CAN members "in line."

    J.S.: Do you think the takeover by Scientology was orchestrated,
    or a coincidence after the loss of the lawsuit?

    A.C.: Certainly no coincidence on the part of Scientology. The
    church has long agitated against CAN and ostensibly ran the
    organization into the hole. But I think CAN members had to bail
    out because they were becoming notorious. Their reputations were
    catching up with them, and cult victims weren't buying the BS at
    CAN's end of the false dialectic designed to distract us from the
    fact that many cults and anti-cult cults are ultimately the
    creation of the intelligence sector.
