History of the Psychopathic Elite’s
Development of Techno-Slavery
1941 - Lookout Mountain Laboratory is built in Los Angeles’ Laurel Canyon. This is a secret military installation that will serve as a secret air defense facility for the US Army until 1947, when it will be converted into a self-contained movie studio for use in atomic weapons research and other undisclosed projects. It will have its own sound stages, screening rooms, film processing labs, editing rooms, film vaults, etc.
1941 (July) – L. Ron
Hubbard enters the US
Naval Reserve as a Lieutenant, using various letters of
recommendation in which he has
fabricated an apparently bogus past. In
the Naval Reserve he first writes public relations articles, and then enrolls
in Intelligence Officer training in New York, but is kicked out after his first assignment because he is considered unreliable. He is always trying to draw attention to himself and impress
others with his importance, and turns in reports which read like, and may have actually
been, pulp fiction. He is reported to have taken positions of
authority without obtaining official sanction and attempted to perform duties
that he had no qualifications for. Eventually he goes to anti-submarine warfare
school in Miami, and gets appointed Commanding Officer of a submarine tracker,
the USS PC-815. Within five hours of setting sail out of Portland, Oregon, he
is claiming to have detected enemy subs, and exhausts his entire supply of
depth charges trying to knock them out. A second incident where he and his crew
fire weapons in Mexican waters leads to him being transferred to other duties
where he can be supervised. He will end his military service at the end of
World War II in the hospital for ‘epigastric distress’ and a long list of other
minor aches and pains.

1941 (August 14) – Future rock icon David Crosby is born. He is
the son of US
Air Force Major Floyd Delafield Crosby, a WWII military intelligence officer who specialized in
photography and filmmaking. He is also recognized by major Hollywood studios,
working on a large number of movies both before and after the war. The Crosby family tree includes many US senators and
congressmen, state senators and assemblymen, governors, mayors, judges, Supreme
Court justices, Revolutionary and Civil War generals, signers of the
Declaration of Independence, and members of the Continental Congress. The
Crosby family also includes more than a few high-ranking Masons, including Stephen
Van Rensselaer III, who reportedly served as Grand Master of Masons for New
York. According to the New England Genealogical Society, David Van Cortlandt
Crosby is also a direct descendant of ‘Founding Fathers’ and Federalist Papers
authors Alexander Hamilton and John Jay. David will play a significant role in
the CIA/Tavistock-orchestrated counterculture movement in the 1960s.

A report issued by the US government’s War
Refugee Board in November 1944, entitled German
Extermination Camps: Auschwitz and Birkenau, will become the ‘official’
thesis of exterminations via gas chambers at Auschwitz. In it, all of the
essentials and many of the details of the later Auschwitz hoax will be found. This
report will be used at the Nuremburg trials to convict many Nazis of war
crimes.

Century, by Arthur R. Butz)
1942 –
After serving four years in prison, a judge gives Vito
Paulekas the opportunity to join the US Merchant
Marines in lieu of finishing his 25 sentence for armed robbery. He enlists.

Century, by Arthur R. Butz)
1943 –
Future novelist J. D. Salinger becomes a Counter
Intelligence Corps officer in the US Army. He will be involved in the D-Day
invasion, his duties involving rounding up Nazis and conducting interrogations. He will assist in bringing Nazis into
the USA after the war through Project Paperclip. He will suffer from Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder from his experiences during the war and spend some
time in a hospital. Throughout his life he will have relationships with a
number of different women of barely legal age. His future bestselling novel, The Catcher in the Rye, will be found in
the possession of a number of ‘lone-nut’ killers (e.g. Mark David Chapman, John
Hinckley Jr., Sirhan Sirhan, and possibly Adam Lanza) at the time that they commit
their crimes.

1943 – The Rockefellers help finance the Allen
Memorial Institute at McGill University in Canada, where the infamous Dr. Ewen Cameron will perform his macabre
mind-control experiments on human victims. These
experiments will be conducted under the auspices of the Canadian
military, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the CIA. Cameron’s work will be based
on the idea that behavior
patterns in adults can be erased by a physiologic process (electroshock, drugs,
sleep deprivation, psychic driving, etc.) that attacks neural patterns. He is
interested in whether adults can be made patternless and returned to a state of
neurological and psychological infancy for a short period before new patterns
of behavior are introduced.

1943 – Josef Mengele is
made medical commandant of Auschwitz concentration
camp.
(See
online book, The Hoax of the Twentieth
Century, by Arthur R. Butz)
The
story will be written about first by such people as Dr.
Reilly H. Crabb, Vincent Gaddis, Brad Steiger, and Gray Barker, and will later
come to the attention of Berlitz while he is investigating the mysteries of the
Bermuda Triangle. Moore will have already been investigating the Philadelphia
Experiment in the 1970s when he and Berlitz meet and begin collaborating on
their book. It should be noted that Moore will publicly confess years later to
having been wittingly used by Air Force Intelligence to disseminate government
disinformation related to UFOs (he will coauthor the first published book on the Roswell crash with Berlitz, thus introducing that story to the public).
Also, according to an article that will appear years later in the Seattle Times/Post Intelligencer, at the beginning of World War II, Charles
Berlitz had been taken out
of the Air Force to work in counter-intelligence. The article will indicate
that Berlitz' connections with intelligence agencies didn’t end with World War
II, but that “He resumed his intelligence work, though not overseas, during
the Korean and Vietnam wars.”
Two people will play important parts in the initial unfolding of this incredible story. The first of these is an astrophysicist and private researcher named Morris K. Jessup, and the second is a rather mysterious man named Carlos Miguel Allende, who will claim to have been a first-hand witness to the experiment. Jessup will publish a book in 1955 called The Case for the UFOs, in which he offers his opinions about UFOs and their source of motive power. He will go on to give lectures and make appeals to the public for the government to begin research in this area, and this will get the attention of Allende, who will write him a number of letters in which he will warn against this idea. Allende will cryptically mention a certain Naval experiment that he had witnessed, in which a ship had been turned invisible and teleported to another location before returning to its berth minutes later. Allende will claim in his letters to Jessup that Einstein had actually completed his Unified Field Theory between 1925 and 1927, but had withdrawn it again out of fear of what might be done with it. Allende will go on to say that at the time, any possible uses of this theory that could be immediately applied were considered by the military, and one result of this was that they were able to make an entire ship and its crew turn invisible.
According to Gerry Vassilatos in his book,
Lost Science, just prior to the time that the Philadelphia Experiment
was initiated, Naval researchers had been experiencing strange phenomena that
were somehow related to the extremely high amperage discharges from the special
arc welders being used to build ships with armor plated hulls. A special
process had been designed that allowed them to weld the extremely thick
plating, and the intense electrical discharges of the welder was causing a
strange ‘optical blackout’ effect. Some of the workers were also experiencing
what appeared to be neurological effects, including hallucinations and even
madness. Military officials saw this strange effect as a potential weapon.
Other strange phenomena were occurring as
well. After powering up the special capacitor that was used in the arc welding
machinery, the intense discharge would routinely rock the entire site. When
workers commenced their duties (having previously cleared out of the area prior
to the power up), they would discover that the tools they had left lying there
had disappeared. This was investigated further, and high-speed cameras were set
up to film the effect. At first, they had thought they were being disintegrated
by the intense blast of the discharge, but the cameras revealed that this was
not the case at all. The objects simply vanished without any trace.
T. Townsend Brown, who was already
stationed at the Norfolk Navy Yard, was one of the scientists brought in to
investigate this phenomenon, which was similar to the electrogravitic effects
he had been studying. The military started a classified research program to
look into these effects (Project Rainbow), which led up to the events of the
alleged Philadelphia Experiment.
1945
(March) – Raymond
Palmer, editor of Amazing Stories magazine, publishes a story, claimed to be true
by its author (Richard Shaver), titled I
Remember Lemuria (better known as The Shaver Mystery), about an evil subterranean race that was controlling life on the surface of the earth through the use of ‘fiendish
rays’, one of which could put thoughts and voices in the surface human’s heads.
The story is a hit, with thousands of letters pouring in from readers. Palmer
soon realizes he is tapping into a previously unrecognized audience comprised
of people who are quick to believe such stories – many of them obviously
paranoid-schizophrenic. The sales of Amazing
Stories, which were previously quite poor, quickly multiplied, reaching
250,000 a month in the first year. Many of the readers who would write back
offering supporting ‘evidence’ for the Shaver stories, described strange
objects they had seen in the sky and strange encounters they had had with alien
beings. It will seem that many thousands of people are aware of the existence
of some distinctly non-terrestrial group in our midst. Paranoid fantasies were
mixed with tales that had the uncomfortable ring of truth. The ‘Letters-to-the-Editor’
section of the magazine will become the most interesting part of the
publication.
One
such letter writer and possible magazine story contributor who will claim that
the Shaver story is true will be a man named Fred Lee Crisman, who will be
directly involved in a UFO incident that will allegedly take place at Maury
Island, Washington, in 1947, and then the JFK assassination in 1963. Crisman
will later be revealed through his CIA file to have been an intelligence agent
in the OSS during World War II.
1945 (April) – At about this time, Jack Parsons, now Lodge Master
of the Agape Lodge of the Ordo Templi Orientis,
meets L. Ron Hubbard at
a meeting of the Los Angeles Fantasy and
Science Fiction Society, which Parsons attends regularly. Parsons is impressed by Hubbard and writes Crowley to tell him about the man and his
desire to establish a ‘New Aeon’. This is something that Parsons and Crowley
are apparently interested in as well. Parsons will let Hubbard live with him
for the next few years.
(See online book, Jack
Parsons & the Curious Origins of the American Space Program, by The Magician)
1945 – At the end of World War II, General Reinhard Gehlen, the head of the Nazi SS and Hitler’s
Chief of Intelligence against Russia,
arrives in Washington DC to meet extensively with President Truman, General
William ‘Wild Bill’ Donovan, Director of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS)
and Allen Dulles, who will later become the head of the CIA. The objective of
their brain-storming sessions is to reorganize the American intelligence arm,
transforming it into a highly-efficient covert organization. The culmination of
their efforts will produce the Central Intelligence
Group in 1946, which will be renamed the Central Intelligence Agency
(CIA) in 1947.
1945 – With the end of World War II, the Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency is established and
given direct responsibility for Operation Paperclip. Project
Paperclip is
involved in bringing thousands of Nazi scientists and engineers into the US,
continuing until as late as 1990. This will include rocket scientists Werner
Von Braun and Arthur Rudolph, flying
saucer designer Richard Miethe, physician
Hubertus Strughold, physicist
Werner Heisenberg, mind-control expert Joseph Mengele, and head of Germen
intelligence, Reinhard Gehlen, among
others. A large number of them will be psychologists, psychiatrists, and
physicians. These scientists and doctors will be put to work for US military
and intelligence agencies, usually within major front companies. Although US
President Harry Truman expressly
excluded anyone found “to have been a member of the Nazi Party, and more than a
nominal participant in its activities, or an active supporter of Nazi
militarism,” this exclusion would have rendered ineligible most of the leading
scientists that had been identified for recruitment, and so it was ignored, and
false employment and political biographies were created for them while their
Nazi Party memberships and régime affiliations were expunged from the public record.
Within a two year period, an estimated 1,800 technicians and scientists, along
with 3,700 family-members will be brought into the USA. Scientists are assigned
to such places as Fort Strong, Massachusetts; Fort Bliss, Texas; White Sands
Proving Grounds, New Mexico; Wright Field; Lockheed; Martin Marietta; North
American Aviation; and other aviation companies. Reinhard Gehlen is able to
bring many of his SS over and implant them into the ranks of the CIA. He also
brings with him a massive amount of intelligence information that he had
microfilmed just before his surrender.
Apart
from Project Paperclip, the CIA arrange for a private intelligence
facility in West Germany to be established, and name it the Gehlen Organization. This is used by Gehlen to establish
‘rat lines’ to get Nazi war criminals out of Europe to avoid prosecution.
Gehlen is able to help more than 5,000 Nazis escape Germany and relocate around
the world, particularly in South and Central America. Mass murderers like Klaus
Barbie will help governments set up death squads in Chile, Argentina, El
Salvador, and elsewhere.
A
large number of the Project Paperclip Nazis are hard-core Satanists and will
continue their practices unabated on American soil, helping to spread satanic
ideologies and practices until they become deeply rooted within the
military, intelligence agencies such as the NSA and CIA, NASA, law enforcement
agencies such as the FBI and BATF, local and state police forces, the court
system, the Federal Reserve and Wall Street, the education system, hospitals
and mental institutions, the AHA, APA, AMA, and ADA, the FDA, science and
research foundations, postal services, the communications industry,
transportation such as airlines, trains, road/highway services, religion, the
entertainment industry, including movie production, TV, music industry and
casinos, mainstream media, major corporations, utilities such as gas, electric,
and oil, etc. These Paperclip Nazis aren’t the source of Satanism in America,
however. They are brought into the US by the same Satanists who had helped
Hitler rise to power and funded him in the war effort. Allen Dulles, cousin to
John D. Rockefeller, was instrumental in this.
1945 – The Rockefellers influence
the establishment of the United Nations. One of
its first actions will be
to create the nation of Israel.
1945 (December 5) – L. Ron Hubbard
is officially discharged from the Navy. He
immediately applies for a pension, claiming various disabilities, and heads for
Pasadena, where he moves in with Jack Parsons.
(See online book, Jack
Parsons & the Curious Origins of the American Space Program, by The
Magician)
1946 (January) – Jack Parsons and L. Ron Hubbard perform
a series of Enochian sex magick rituals in an attempt to conceive a ‘moon child’ – a supernatural offspring
with messianic potential.
These rituals will become known as the ‘Babalon Working’,
and will draw largely from the
writings of occultist Aleister Crowley. During the rituals, Hubbard
reportedly channels an entity that is mentioned in Crowley’s The Book of the
Law. Parsons writes to Crowley to inform him of this. Crowley isn’t pleased, and sometime
later in the year he will suspend Parsons as head of Agape Lodge. Crowley will
write: “I have no further interest in
Jack and his adventures; he is just a weak-minded fool, and must go to the
devil in his own way.” Parsons will nonetheless continue his occult
explorations, writing several manifestos.
The Babalon Working will later be claimed
by certain parties to have created an interdimensional doorway in our spacetime
matrix, allowing non-earthly beings to enter our part of the universe. This
claim will be used by some to explain the many strange UFO-related activities
that will begin soon after Parsons’ and Hubbard’s experiment (others will blame
the UFO phenomenon on atomic tests).

Parsons & the Curious Origins of the American Space Program, by The

1946 –
After being discharged from the Merchant Marines,
Vito Paulekas
heads for Los Angeles, California. He begins attending
classes to continue developing both his dancing and artistic skills, primarily in
clay sculpture.
1946 – The RAND Corporation is
established by the US Army Air Force as Project RAND. It is a government
think-tank involved in developing technologies for the military. Over the
years, it will be funded through government contracts, university
collaborators, and ‘private donors’. RAND's primary agency clients will include
the CIA and DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency). RAND was
conceived by Donald Douglas, CEO of Douglas Aircraft, along with two military
officer luminaries. These officers carry with them significant ‘UFO histories’.
These officers are Major General Curtis LeMay (the US Air Force's Chief of
Development) and General Hap Arnold (considered the ‘father’ of the modern US
Air Force). This organization will be secretly involved in studying (and
monitoring) the UFO phenomenon.
(See online article, Deep Secrets of a UFO Think Tank Exposed!,
by Anthony Bragalia)
1946 (September) – Amazing Stories
publishes a short article by W.C. Hefferlin, Circle-Winged Plane, describing experiments with a circular craft
in 1927 in San Francisco. Another contribution to this issue is a 30,000 word
novelette, Earth Slaves to Space,
dealing with spaceships that regularly visit the Earth to kidnap humans and
haul them away to some other planet. Other stories describe amnesia, an
important element in the UFO reports that still lay far in the future, and
mysterious men who supposedly served as agents for a non-human race.
Raymond
Palmer, the magazine’s editor, begins assigning artists to make sketches of
objects described by readers and disc-shaped flying machines begin appearing on
the covers of his magazine – long before June 1947, when Kevin Arnold’s report
of seeing flying saucers over Mt. Rainier will be published in newspapers, thus
introducing the alleged UFO phenomenon to mainstream society. But before that,
a considerable number of people – millions – will be exposed to the flying
saucer concept before the national news media is even aware of it. Anyone who
glances at the magazines on a newsstand and catches a glimpse of the
saucers-adorned Amazing Stories cover
will already have the image (and the idea) implanted in his or her subconscious.
In the course of the two years between March 1945 and June 1947, millions of
Americans will have seen at least one issue of Amazing Stories magazine.

1947 – Seven-year-old Frank Zappa moves to Lancaster, California, near
Edwards Air Force Base where his father will continue doing classified work for the military.
1947 -
Lookout Mountain Laboratory in Los Angeles’ Laurel
Canyon is converted into a self-contained movie studio for use in atomic
weapons research and other undisclosed projects. It has its own sound stages,
screening rooms, film processing labs, editing rooms, film vaults, etc. This
secret government facility will continue to operate until at least 1969. Local
residents will not be aware of its existence until 1991.
1947 – What will become one of the most successful Tavistock
offshoot organizations, the National Training
Laboratories (NTL), is founded (later renamed the NTL Institute for
Applied Behavioral Sciences). Located in Bethel, Maine, the mission of the NTL
is to give ‘group dynamics’ sessions to American leaders. During group
sessions, dissonance or stress is introduced to destroy the individual's
previous beliefs, and then a new, group-oriented personality is coaxed forth.
This will become the primary technical method used by a myriad of
Tavistock-influenced ‘sensitivity’ groups like Alanon and Esalen. In the years
to come, the majority of America's corporate leaders will be processed through
NTL’s programs, as will be members of various segments of the government,
including the Navy, the Department of Education, and the State Department.
(See online file, Mind Control, World Control, by Jim Keith)
\1947 – The secret UKUSA Agreement is signed between the US and Britain, and soon
after adding Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, creating a worldwide listening
network for electronic communications. Norway,
Denmark, Germany, and Turkey will eventually join as third-party participants.
Each of the five main countries involved are responsible for overseeing surveillance of different parts of the globe. The
agreement requires that before
anyone is admitted to knowledge of the network operations, they must first
undertake a lifelong commitment to secrecy. Every individual working for this
network must be ‘indoctrinated’ and, often ‘re-indoctrinated’ each time they
are admitted to knowledge of a specific project. They are privy to information
on a strictly need-to-know basis, and the need for total secrecy about their
work is constant. All information passing through this network is
compartmentalized and relies on specially assigned code words for access. This
secret network is the root of the later ECHELON global surveillance system. It
is the first global Wide Area Network (WAN), connecting signals intelligence
(SIGINT) and processing stations. It won’t be until the mid-1990s that the
Internet will become larger than this secret network. It will incorporate the
NSA’s internal email system, which will remain completely separate from regular
Internet email systems, providing complete security of communications within
this highly secretive organization.
1947 – British
scientist Dennis Gabor develops the theory of holography
while working to improve the resolution of an electron microscope.
1947 – The invention of the transistor by William Shockley, John Bardeen, and Walter Brattain of Bell
Labs. This invention will revolutionize the electronics industry,
replacing vacuum tubes
and allowing for the development of integrated circuitry.
(See
online book, Terrorism and the Illuminati, by David Livingstone)
1948 – The US Navy allegedly begins Project
Penguin, headed by a man named Rexford
Daniels, who previously studied
the effects of electromagnetic waves on human beings. The purpose of this alleged project
is to test individuals who have psychic abilities. Andrija
Puharich will later claim to have been
involved in this project. The US Navy will later deny its existence.
1948 – Behavioral psychologist B. F.
Skinner writes Walden Two, a
novel about life in a utopian community created on his principles of social
engineering, in which 1,000 individuals are allowed to live the most meaningful
and fulfilling life possible. In this utopian community there is no democracy
and everything is run by behavioral engineers.
1949 – Raymond
Palmer, editor of Amazing Stories,
leaves Ziff-Davis to start Fate magazine, which
will offer articles on a variety of New Age subjects including divination
methods, Fortean events, belief in the survival of personality after death,
predictive dreams, accounts of ghosts, mental telepathy, archaeology, flying
saucer sightings, cryptozoology, alternative medicine, warnings of death, and
other paranormal topics, many contributed by readers. In the first issue,
Palmer publishes Kenneth Arnold's report of ‘flying discs’, which will quickly
propel the fledgling magazine to national recognition. Through Fate, Palmer will be instrumental in popularizing
the belief in flying saucers, and this interest will lead him to establish the
magazine Flying Saucers.
1949 - Mrs. Janine Jones of
New Zealand is electronically implanted immediately
after her birth at LoverHutt Hospital. The psychosurgery is performed via
stereotaxic methods by drilling into her skull. She is adopted into another
family. Both her natural and adopted parents have military backgrounds. Her
birth father is (at this time) a prominent politician and Chief Justice of
Western Samoa. X-rays will later reveal that she has implants in the cavities
near the cochlea’s of both ears and one in the frontal lobe directly adjacent
to the nasal passages.
1949 – George Orwell, a
political futurologist, publishes his futuristic novel, 1984, which depicts life in a futuristic
totalitarian society. The parallels to how we are living today as we enter the
twenty-first century is more than just remarkable – the book is like a forecast
of what is to come. In this novel, the citizenry is constantly watched by the
government through technology; knowledge is slowly reduced through the
elimination of ideas and replaced with propagandist slogans and news bites; the
government is untouchable and always right; mediocrity in life is expected and encouraged;
every word and action is a measure of a person’s conformity; invisible (and
sometimes nonexistent) enemies are constantly posing threats to the state; etc.
The ideology of the government in this book is best expressed by the slogan: “WAR
IS PEACE - FREEDOM IS SLAVERY - IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH”.
1949 (November) –
Eustace Mullins, a researcher in Washington DC, is
invited to meet the famous American poet Ezra Pound who
is confined at St. Elizabeth’s Mental Hospital as a ‘political prisoner’,
having been charged with treason for Radio Rome broadcasts that questioned
America's war motives. Pound commissions Mullins to examine the power of the
U.S. banking establishment. Mullins spends every morning for the next two years
in the Library of Congress and meets with Pound every afternoon. The resulting
manuscript, The Secrets of the Federal Reserve,
will prove to be too hot for any American publisher to handle. Nineteen
publishers will reject it. When it finally appears in Germany in 1955, the US
military will confiscate all 10,000 copies and burn them.
(See online book, Illuminati:
The Cult That Hijacked the World, by Henry Makow, PhD)
1949 (December) – Donald Keyhoe publishes an article titled Flying Saucers Are Real in True magazine. The article will cause
a sensation, and Keyhoe will become an instant UFO authority.
1950 (April 14) – A research paper by RAND entitled The Exploitation of Superstitions for Purposes of Psychological
Warfare is published for the US Air Force. Although the paper doesn’t
explicitly mention UFOs, it is obvious that at the time of publication, the UFO
phenomenon was already being used in psychological operations, capitalizing on
modern-day superstitions. The paper notes that during times of great
uncertainty, such as in wartime, superstitious activities increase
substantially. It points out that although the less educated members of a
population are more likely to be superstitious, the more intelligent members
(including military and government officials) often engage in superstitious
beliefs as well. More significantly, it suggests that superstitions can be
exploited with fairly simple props and illusionary effects. The author states:
1950 (April 20) – The CIA initiates Project BLUEBIRD, which is assigned the function of discovering
means of conditioning personnel to prevent unauthorized extraction of information
from them by known means. It is further assigned to investigate the possibility
of control of an individual by application of special interrogation techniques,
memory enhancement, and establishing defensive means for preventing interrogation
of agency personnel. There will be an emphasis on using drugs to achieve these
ends. The goals consist of “controlling an individual to the point
where he will do our bidding against his will and even against such fundamental
laws of nature as self-preservation.” In coordination with the Veteran's
Administration, US military veterans will be used as unwitting subjects for
many of the experiments.
1950 –
Betty Andreasson’s only consciously recalled
memory of an alien abduction occurs in this
year, when she is thirteen years old. She remembers seeing what looks like the
moon coming closer and closer to her. She tries to run away, but is unable to
move. Her next memory is of being in a room in a tranquilized state. Further
investigation of the incident years later will reveal that she was taken aboard
a craft and taken to another location, where she “entered the world of Light to
see the One”. She
apparently interprets this as God (she becomes a devout Christian at sixteen
years old). She sees two of herself at this point, as though having an
out-of-body experience (OBE). Her other ‘self’ appears stiff
and unmoving. Whatever takes place during her visit with ‘the One’, she will be
incapable of giving any details to investigators later on, but it overwhelms
her with love and joy. Before being returned to where she was
picked up, small beings with large heads and dark eyes implant something in her
head. According to a later retrieved memory, this object will be retrieved by
these beings in 1967, extracting it from her nose.
1950 –
Behavioral psychologist John Gittinger joins the
CIA under the cover of the Human Ecology Fund.
Gittinger will develop his Personality Assessment
System (PAS), which he had already been working on for several years,
basing it on scores from the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS). With his
PAS, both personality traits and predictable behaviors under specific given
situations can be accurately determined. The PAS will come to be used
extensively both for identifying individuals who are the best subjects for the
various mind-control programs in MKULTRA, as well as for selecting and handling
CIA operatives and agents, and of course, for determining how to compromise a
person and take advantage of them. Gittinger will go on to develop an extensive
database that will allow all phases of human behavior to be charted and
individuals categorized, based on the comparison of accumulated test scores.
Such categories are able to be determined for those who are good role-players,
who are easy to hypnotize and who aren’t, who will be most loyal and who might
become traitors, who have sexual deviancies, what a person’s greatest fears
are, their greatest strengths, what motivates them, how they can best be
influenced to act a certain way, etc. Almost anything is able to be determined
about an individual’s personality with this system. Top CIA officials are so
impressed with this system that they begin to use it in most agent-connected
activities. The prime objectives for using this system are control,
exploitation, or neutralization. Eventually, Gittinger’s database of test
scores will become large enough that individuals who haven’t even taken the
Wechsler tests can still be accurately assessed by studying their behavior in
various circumstances and looking for specific patterns that correspond to the
PAS.

1950 –
For the next two years, John Foster Dulles,
current chairman of the Rockefeller Foundation and
brother of future CIA director Allen Dulles, leads John
D. Rockefeller III on a series of world tours, focusing on the need to
stop the expansion of the non-white populations.

1950 (April)
– The Hubbard Dianetic Research Foundation
is established in Elizabeth, New Jersey. A month later, L. Ron
Hubbard publishes Dianetics: The Modern Science
of Mental Health, first introduced in Astounding Science Fiction magazine
this same year, and immediately after published in book form by Hermitage
House. It becomes an instant hit, staying at the top of the Los Angeles
Times bestseller list for several months. After only two months of the
book’s publication, there are already five hundred Dianetics groups in
operation across the USA.
Soon
after the book’s publication, the
Office of Naval Intelligence in Washington, DC sends an officer to put L. Ron
Hubbard into civilian service in the government to continue his researches on
the mind. Hubbard declines. The officer says that if he refuses, Hubbard will
be ordered back to active duty, since his Naval commission has not been
terminated. Hubbard quickly takes advantage of a letter of permission he has
from the Secretary of the Navy to resign his commission, thereby putting
Dianetics and Scientology out of the reach and control of the US government.
In
the years ahead, it will be revealed through a secret internal document (referred
to as OT VIII: The Confidential Student Briefing Document)
that, in Hubbard’s own
words, Scientology is nothing less than Satanism, and that L. Ron Hubbard
considers himself to be the Antichrist.
1950 –
The Urantia Foundation is established in Chicago, and consists of high-ranking
members of the Seventh Day Adventist sect. The foundation is centered around
the channeled texts known as the Urantia Papers. Its board of directors take a pledge of secrecy not to
reveal the human author of these texts or their means of transmission. Dr. William S. Sadler, a Seventh Day Adventist minister, will
ultimately be responsible for publishing these texts. They will be published as
The Urantia Book in 1955.
1950 –
At the end of this year, Andrija Puharich moves
to a 65-acre estate at Warrenton in Glen Cove, Maine, which has been purchased
for his use with $35,000 provided by a Walter Cabot Paine of Boston. The house
has 45 rooms and about a dozen bathrooms. Twelve co-workers move into the house
with Puharich and his family, where they will live in a commune-type setting.
1951
(January 5) – Wilhelm Reich conducts
his Oranur Experiment and discovers a new type
of energy that he calls ‘deadly orgone’ (DOR),
which is caused by the effect of nuclear radiation on orgone energy. DOR is
black, lusterless, toxic, carries a high charge, and is oxygen and
water-hungry.
1951
(March 27) – Andrija Puharich
meets with Eileen Garrett and John Hammond Jr. in Gloucester to conduct
experiments to find out whether or not telepathy exists.
These experiments will continue for three months, and will incorporate a
Faraday cage built by Hammond. The experiments are designed to test the
hypothesis that telepathy is based on the transmission of electromagnetic waves
between humans. Puharich believes that he should be able to block telepathy
with appropriate shielding. Instead, he will find that placing a person in the
cage will increase their psychic ability significantly. He theorizes that
psychic information is communicated via the brain’s natural ELF waves, which
aren’t blocked by a Faraday cage, while higher frequency electromagnetic waves
are. By reducing the higher frequencies, the brain has a better chance of
picking up the weaker signals.
1951 (July 16) – J. D. Salinger
publishes The
Catcher in the Rye, a tale
that captures the essence of teenage angst and projects the idea that life is
meaningless. In
spite of its lack of impressiveness as a literary work, it will become an instant bestseller and absorbed into the academic literature
curriculum. Soon after its success, Salinger will become a recluse and have a
number of relationships with women who are barely legal.
1951 (August) – Project
BLUEBIRD is renamed Project ARTICHOKE,
and begins ARTICHOKE is interested in the use of ‘electro-psycho-therapeutic’
techniques, as well as the creation of amnesia, hypnotic couriers, and ‘Manchurian
Candidates’. It is also involved in
searching for a ‘truth drug’ and studying interrogation techniques. The subjects used in this project will also
function as hypnotically controlled cameras, where they can enter a room or
building, memorize materials quickly, leave the building, and be amnesic for
the entire episode. The memorized material can then be retrieved by a handler
using a previously implanted code or signal, without the amnesia being
disturbed.
1951 -
The Psychological Strategy Board is signed into
existence by Harry Truman. It is tasked with coordinating psychological operations at home and abroad.
1951 -
Captain
Alfred M. Hubbard, a
high-ranking officer in the OSS during World War II, takes his first LSD trip, and immediately becomes a proponent of its
transcendental effects. Through his extensive connections in business and
government and at his personal expense, Hubbard is able to acquire 6,000
bottles of the compound, which he will begin to dispense freely to any friends
and researchers who want it. Since the CIA has been tightly controlling the
supply lines for the drug, they obviously know that Hubbard has this large
supply and may have even provided it to him.
1951 – Andrija Puharich receives
a grant for almost $100,000 – either from an undisclosed wealthy friend or from
the US military – to build a solid sheet metal Faraday
cage for use in psychic experiments. He will use the cage to continue
testing the telepathic abilities of Eileen Garrett. The
experiments will be so successful that they will attract the interest of the US
Department of the Army. An American, Colonel Jack Stanley, and a French
General, J.C. Sauzey will visit Puharich’s Round Table group to express the
interest of their respective governments. As a result of this visit, Andrija
will be invited to present his new data on telepathy at a meeting sponsored by
the office of the Chief, Psychological Warfare, US Army at the Pentagon,
Washington DC, on November 24, 1952.
1952 (January 7) – A CIA memorandum written on this
date states:
“If, as now
appears to us as established beyond question, there is in some persons a
certain amount of capacity for extrasensory perception (ESP),
this fact, and consequent developments leading from it, should have
significance for professional intelligence service … It now appears that we are
ready to consider practical application as a research problem in itself […] The
two special projects of investigation that ought to be pushed in the interest
of the project under discussion are, first, the search
for and development of exceptionally gifted individuals who can
approximate perfect success in ESP test performances, and, second, in the
statistical concentration of scattered ESP performance, so as to enable an
ultimately perfect reliability and application.”
1952 – Aldous Huxley returns
to the USA, accompanied by Dr. Humphrey Osmond. Huxley
will expand his LSD-mescaline project in California by recruiting several
individuals who had been initially drawn into the cult circles he helped
establish during his earlier stay. The two most prominent individuals will be
Alan Watts and Dr. Gregory Bateson (the former husband of Margaret Mead). Watts
will become a self-styled ‘guru’ of a nationwide Zen Buddhist cult built around
his well-publicized books. Bateson, an anthropologist with the OSS, will become
the director of a hallucinogenic drug experimental clinic at the Palo Alto
Veterans Administration Hospital. Under Bateson's auspices, the initiating ‘cadre’
of the LSD cult – the hippies – will be programmed.
1952 – Wilhelm Reich develops
a ‘cloud-buster’
device, consisting principally of hollow pipes
grounded in water, which draw negative orgone out
of the atmosphere. This will lead to further weather-modification
research, including experiments into the production and prevention of rain.
1952 –
CIA Director Walter B. Smith writes to Raymond Allen, director of the Psychological Strategy Board:
"I
am today transmitting to the National Security Council a proposal in which it
is concluded that the problems associated with unidentified
flying objects appear to have implications for psychological
warfare as well as for intelligence and operations. I suggest that we
discuss at an early board meeting the possible offensive and defensive
utilization of these phenomena for psychological warfare purposes."
1952 –
L. Ron Hubbard introduces the E-meter as part of Scientology.
It is a simple galvanometer, which acts like a lie detector by measuring skin
conductivity. Hubbard will incorporate the E-meter very effectively into his Scientology program to psychoanalyze members and
find their weak spots in order to break them down and control them. By asking a
person questions while they hold two metal rods attached to the E-meter, the
measured increase in skin conductivity while being asked questions indicates
areas where there is excitement or emotional stress.
From his early experiments with the
E-meter, Hubbard develops his concept of ‘implants’,
which he defines as “a painful and forceful means of overwhelming a being
with artificial purposes or false concepts in a malicious attempt to control
and suppress him.” He describes various types of these implants, including
ones that attach themselves to a person between their incarnations on the physical
plane.
(See book, Bare-Faced Messiah, by Russell Miller)
1952 – UFO writer Albert K. Bender,
head of the International Flying Saucer Bureau in Bridgeport, Connecticut, is
visited by ‘Men in Black’, who warn him to
remain silent about his knowledge of UFOs. Soon after, he becomes physically
ill. He complies with the warning and closes down his organization, and remains
silent until 1963, when he publishes his story as Flying Saucers and the
Three Men. Whether true or not, this story will help to add mystery to the
UFO phenomenon.

Parsons & the Curious Origins of the American Space Program, by The
Magician)
(See online book, Fleshing Out Skull and Bones)
1952 (November 24) – Andrija
Puharich presents a paper to a secret Pentagon
gathering, titled, An Evaluation of the Possible
Uses of ESP in Psychological Warfare. He is reportedly redrafted
into the military the very next day, but continues with his civilian work.
1952 (December 31) – Dr. D. G. Vinod, a psychic medium
who Andrija Puharich is working with, begins
receiving channeled communications from entities
who introduce themselves as ‘The Nine Principles and Forces’. When
Vinod wakes from his trance after about ninety minutes of channeling, he will
have no recollection or knowledge of what had been said. As Puharich works with
Vinod over the next month, he will come to believe that he is dealing with
extraterrestrial intelligences from the future. The communications will be
terminated at the end of January 1953, when Puharich’s group splits up and
Vinod returns to his home in India. It will be twenty-two years before the
communications with ‘The Nine’ are resumed.
1952 – By the end of this year, the USAF has 1,500 UFO reports on file.
1953 (January) – The Robertson
Panel, headed by Dr. Howard Percy Robertson, director of the
Pentagon's Weapons Systems Evaluations Group, is
set up by the US government with the stated purpose of investigating the
growing UFO phenomenon. The real purpose,
however, will be to debunk UFO reports. This panel will state:
“The debunking
aim would result in reduction of public interest in flying saucers, which today
evokes a strong psychological reaction. This education could be accomplished by
mass media such as television, motion pictures, and popular articles...Such a
program should tend to reduce the current gullibility of the public and
consequently their susceptibility to clever hostile propaganda.”
This secret panel consists of nuclear
physicists, radar and rocketry experts, Air Force personnel, and an astronomer. Although, in the decades ahead,
this report will be used to support the idea that the government is covering up
alien visitation, it will originally be nothing more than a whitewash to
recommend that the two main UFO groups in the US at the time, the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO) and Civilian Saucer Intelligence (CSI), should be
monitored because of the influence they could have on public perceptions. The
panel makes the recommendation that UFO reports should be actively discouraged
through a covert mass-media debunking effort. The conclusions and
recommendations of this panel, known as the Robertson Report, will not be fully
released to the public until 1966.
1953 (February 26) – Andrija Puharich
is recalled into military service, being sworn in as a
captain in the Medical Corps at the Army Chemical Center, Edgewood, Maryland. This is
the headquarters for research into chemical, radiological and bacteriological
warfare. He will serve
there until April 1955, living with his family at the army base. He is
reportedly working directly under MKULTRA’s Dr. Sidney
Gottlieb. He will later claim that he was never involved in anything
relating to his psychic research during his service, and will state that he
suspected that the government was only interested in interfering with his
research in order to slow him down. He will instead be involved in doing
hearing research with a dentist named Joseph Lawrence.
One
of the main goals of these projects is to create mind-controlled espionage
agents (both male and female, children and adults) who are trained how to
sexually please men and how to coerce them to talk about themselves, with the
ultimate purpose of using these agents and their skills to elicit information
from high government and agency officials and heads of academic
institutions and foundations, and to covertly film them in compromising sexual
acts for blackmail purposes. It is very probable that this blackmail is used to
recruit them into the services of the CIA, and perhaps even using mind-control
techniques on the blackmailed parties to keep them loyal and more controllable.
In an interview by Jon Rappaport, he
explains that young children are preferred in mind-control experiments because
their minds are less developed and are easier for creating a ‘blank slate’
before programming them to be however the controllers might want. Children are
brought into the USA from Mexico and South America, and these particular
children are considered expendable, and the more brute-force methods are used
on them. What works is refined, and the next batch of children undergo the
refined techniques. The best and brightest minds are sought out for these
experiments, and they program these kids so that they will later emerge in
prominent positions in society, and the mind-controllers will then have long
term control of society by controlling these people in power positions.
(See online file, The CIA
and Mind-Control For Kids, by Kris Millegan)
1954 – In the summer of this year, Andrija Puharich receives a transcript from a close
friend of some channeled utterances that the psychic Harry
Stone had made while in a trance state.
Some of it is in English and some in Egyptian. He had spoken as though he was a
‘personality’ who had lived some 5000 years ago. What fascinates Andrija is the
trance description Stone had given of a plant that could separate the
consciousness from the physical body, and that such a separated consciousness
could operate independently of the limitations of the body. Drawings of the
plant made by Stone while in trance look like mushrooms, and the description he
has given is that of the toxic fly agaric, or amanita
muscaria. This will lead Puharich to begin a search for amanita muscaria.
1955 (October 12) – The Urantia
Book is published. The channeller of this material and the means of
transmission are held under an oath of secrecy. It will eventually
be revealed as late as 1991 that the channeller was Wilfred Custer Kellogg, who
is a member of the Kellogg dynasty and also happens
to be Dr. William Sadler's brother-in-law. Sadler
had been personally involved in overseeing the
channellings.

CIA Mind Control Technology, by Alex Constantine)
As early as July or August of 1955,
several months before Jessup receives the first of these letters from Allende,
a copy of his book is received in the mail by an officer of the Office of Naval
Research (ONR) in Washington. Its pages are filled with cryptic notes that
refer to UFOs and their propulsion systems as they relate to the discussion
within Jessup’s book about various strange phenomena. The ONR contacts Jessup
and shows him the annotations, asking if he knows who wrote them. Jessup
recognizes them as Allende’s. The annotations are apparently of such interest
to them that the ONR acquires Allende’s letters from Jessup and makes a limited
mimeographed edition of the annotated book with copies of the letters included.
They claim that they are only interested because they are considering any
information at all that might help them to understand the nature of gravity.
However, it is far more likely that they are concerned about security leaks and
don’t want to draw attention to the fact, or that Allende is acting on their
behalf to set Jessup up in order to give this story some seeming validity as
part of a long-range disinformation campaign to cover up the true facts
surrounding Project Rainbow.
Jessup receives a copy of the annotated
version of his book from the ONR, and spends some time going over it and adding
his own further annotations.
At around this same time, Allende also
contacts the Arial Phenomenon Research Organization (APRO) and talks to someone
there about the Philadelphia Experiment. They take a photograph of him during
the interview, which they will send to William Moore during his investigation
of the Philadelphia Experiment in later years. APRO will eventually receive a
letter from Allende, and this will lead to Moore tracking him down during his
investigation of the story.
1955 –
At about this time, L. Ron Hubbard writes ‘The Brainwashing Manual’. According to the manual's
foreword, the text consists of a transcribed lecture that was given to students
of psycho-politics at Leningrad University around 1950 by the dreaded Beria,
head of Stalin's Secret Police. Thereafter it had supposedly been used as a
textbook on how to wage psychological warfare on Western democracies. This
psychological assault was to be followed by an eventual takeover of the West,
which would be achieved by first taking over the psychiatric and mental health
organizations. The manual reflects the mind-control techniques used within the Church of Scientology and Hubbard’s ultimate goal of
world domination.
(See file, Coercive
Persuasion and Scientology, by Lawrence Wollersheim).
1955 – A new drug-testing
program is begun at the Edgewood Army Chemical
Center. Volunteer soldiers are recruited but are not told what drugs they
will be given, nor that men had died as a result of similar experiments. They are
told they would suffer only temporary discomfort. 7,000 soldiers will undergo the
Edgewood Arsenal's tests. 585 men will be given LSD; the rest will be administered
other unspecified drugs.
1956 – T. Townsend Brown helps
to found the National Investigations Committee on
Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) a UFO study group consisting of professional
scientists, military men, engineers and civilians. Admiral Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter, a former
Director of the CIA, will also join its board of directors. There will be at
least three intelligence operatives among its leaders: Bernard Corvalho,
Nicholas de Rochefort, and Colonel Joseph Ryan. These men are all trained
practitioners of the modern techniques of psychological warfare. NICAP will be
instrumental in both monitoring and manipulating the beliefs of the public
regarding the UFO phenomenon.
1956 – While looking for mushrooms in Mexico, Andrija Puharich and
Arthur Young encounter a couple named Charles and Lillian Laughead, who claim
to be working with a young man who is in psychic contact with aliens. The
Laugheads will send Puharich messages from these entities that contain
cross-references to the earlier channeled communications Puharich had received,
apparently revealing that the same cosmic intelligences were contacting
different people.
1956 – The FBI initiates their COINTELPRO program. Its purpose, as described by FBI
Director J. Edgar Hoover, is “to expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or
otherwise neutralize activities” of those individuals and organizations whose
ideas or goals he opposed. Tactics include: falsely labeling individuals as
informants; infiltrating groups with persons instructed to disrupt the group;
sending anonymous or forged letters designed to promote strife between groups;
initiating politically motivated IRS investigations; carrying out burglaries of
offices and unlawful wiretaps; and disseminating to other government agencies
and to the media unlawfully obtained derogatory information on individuals and
groups.
1957 (May) – Life magazine
publishes an article (Seeking the Magic Mushroom) that describes the fantastic
visions and experiences of a man named Gordon Wasson while under the influence
of psilocybin mushrooms. Wasson’s claims are the first description of the effects of
psilocybin mushrooms presented to the general public. It will turn out in later
years that his trip to Mexico to find the mushrooms had been financed by the
CIA as part of MKULTRA (subproject 58). Wasson will eventually become chairman for
the Council on Foreign Relations, as well as Vice President of Public Relations
at J.P. Morgan Bank.
1958 – Project ORION is
started by either the USAF or CIA. This project is involved in studying the use
of drugs, hypnosis, electronic brain invasion with radar, microwaves, and
extremely low frequencies of sound for mind-control applications.
1958 – Helen Schucman,
who in the years ahead will begin hearing a voice in her head that claims to be
Jesus, goes to work for Dr. William Thetford in
the Psychology Department at Columbia University's
College of Physicians and Surgeons as a clinical and research psychologist. In
1921, at the age of 12, she had had a spiritual experience while visiting
Lourdes, France. Her mother had dabbled in Theosophy and Christian Science.
Thetford’s parents were also involved with Christian Science while he was
growing up.
1958 – After a two-year stint in the US Air Force, Augustus Owsley Stanley III moves to Los Angeles,
where he works at Pasadena's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, founded by occultist Jack
Parsons. Within the next decade he will become one of the biggest manufacturers
and suppliers of LSD to American youth while working as a sound engineer for
the rock group the Grateful Dead. Stanley’s father was a naval commander and
his grandfather was a governor of Kentucky.
Just before his ‘suicide’, Jessup also
contacts his close friend Dr. J. Manson Valentine and tells him that he has
prepared a rough draft paper on the Philadelphia
Experiment and wants to discuss it with him. They make arrangements to
meet at Valentine’s home, but Jessup never arrives. He is found dead in his car
soon after, but none of his papers are found with him.
1959 –
At around this time, Carl Franzoni leaves
Cincinnati, Ohio, drawn by the allure of Hollywood, California, where he
becomes a street hustler.
1959 –
46-year-old Vito Paulekas meets his future wife Szou (real name Sueanne
C. Shaffer), a 16-year-old high-school cheerleader who is mesmerized by the
much older eccentric with his shocking philosophical ideas. Soon after they
meet, Vito
opens an art studio just below the mouth of Laurel Canyon at 303 Laurel Avenue.
Upstairs is their living quarters, while Szou’s clothing boutique
is on the ground floor, where she sells her unique clothing designs. Downstairs is the ‘Vito Clay’ studio, where Vito “made a living of sorts by giving clay
modeling lessons to Beverly Hills matrons who found the atmosphere in his
studio exciting.” Nude models are a common sight at the studio. Vito will also
start giving dance lessons at the studio and will put together a freeform dance
troupe (known as ‘Vito and the Freaks’) consisting mostly of promiscuous young
girls. The studio will also serve as a temporary crash pad for anyone who needed a place to stay, including many of these young
girls. Vito’s students will include curious Beverly Hills matrons as well as
Hollywood stars like Jonathon Winters, Steve Allen, and Mickey Rooney.
1959 (March 24) – At
the Institute of Radio Engineers' annual trade show in the New York Coliseum,
Texas Instruments, one of the nation's leading electronics firms, introduces a
new device that will change the world as profoundly as any invention of the
20th century – the solid integrated circuit, or, as it will come to be called,
the microchip.
1960 – Elmer
Valentine, a young Chicago vice
cop, moves
from Chicago to Los Angeles. One
“very close friend” of Valentine's in his Chicago days was Felix Alderisio,
also known as Milwaukee Phil, who was arguably the most feared hit man in the
country in the 1950s and 60s, carrying out murders for Sam Giancana and other
Chicago bosses. In the grand tradition of Chicago law enforcement, Valentine
had been on the take from the Mob, but the authorities eventually caught up
with him and he was indicted for extortion. Interestingly, he was never
convicted. He just left town and headed
to Hollywood. Fortunately, he had picked up a
second vocational skill while on the Chicago force, running nightclubs for the
Mob. He decides to try his hand at full-time nightclub management, overseeing
operations at P.J.'s, which he now co-owns with some fellow ex-Chicagoans. The
club will do well, and Valentine will take instantly to his new line of work,
eventually opening other nightclubs as well.
1960 – During
the fall of this year, Aldous Huxley is appointed visiting professor at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology in Boston. At this time, he organizes a group at Harvard to parallel his LSD
research team in California. The Harvard group includes Huxley, Humphrey
Osmund, Alan Watts, Timothy Leary, and Richard Alpert. This core group will become the highly publicized promoters of the early LSD
counterculture. He
also establishes contact during this period with
the president of Sandoz, which at the time is working on a CIA contract to
produce large quantities of LSD and psilocybin for the CIA's official chemical
warfare experiment (MKULTRA). Leary will put together a book called The
Psychedelic Experience, based on the ancient Tibetan Book of the Dead.
At the same time, Watts will found the Pacifica Foundation, which will sponsor
radio stations WKBW in San Francisco and WBM-FM in New York City, which will be
among the first to push the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, and the Animals (the
‘British Invasion’), and will later pioneer ‘acid rock’ and eventually ‘punk
rock’.
1960 – With a $300,000 investment from three unnamed New
York businessmen, Andrija Puharich starts a company called the Intelectron Corporation, which is involved in
developing electronic devices to stimulate hearing in the deaf. He is given
research contracts by various arms of the US government, including the CIA,
FBI, Air Force, and NASA. The Air Force is interested in the electrical
stimulation of hearing (ESH), while NASA is more interested in the psychic
research he had previously conducted using a Faraday cage and what is called
‘bio-information-transfer’. Due to Congressional pressure over the issue of
dabbling in the paranormal, however, NASA will be forced to cancel its
contracts. Soon after this, Puharich will be approached by people from Bell
Labs. Bell is a heavy contractor for secret government projects. Supposedly,
nothing will come of this and the contract will be cancelled.
