A Nation Betrayed: Secret Cold War Experiments Performed on Our Children and Other Innocent People (8 page)

In 1979 John Loftus, working for the Office of Special Investigations made a trip to Suitland, Maryland to search the archives classified files for information on Nazi’s that had been brought into the country. He was astounded to find twenty underground vaults, each one an acre in size, crammed floor to ceiling with classified files.
⁸¹
Loftus says that Nelson Rockefeller and Vice President Nixon had supervised the cover-up and burial of these files so that President Eisenhower could claim “plausible deniability.”
⁸²
In fact, years later when President Gerald Ford established a presidential commission to investigate the CIA, Vice-President Nelson Rockefeller was named to head it. John Loftus reports that knowledgeable observers compared the appointment to setting the fox to guard the henhouse, because of Rockefeller’s links to the intelligence community and his knowledge of covert activities.

In a recently declassified CIA file, the intelligence gathering community is summed up quite well,

“The life blood of intelligence is information. Collection of information is the most characteristic activity of the entire intelligence business. Accordingly, an intelligence organization cannot exist until it does a broad and systematic job of collecting. But in this very task lie methodological problems, which are so tough as to be almost insolvable, and in their unsolved state are a perpetual source of inefficiency.

A certain important fraction of the knowledge which intelligence must produce is collected through highly developed secret techniques. Herein begins perhaps the major methodological problem of the collection stage of the intelligence process.

It begins with compartmentation of the clandestine services. This compartmentation is dictated by the established necessity of secrecy. An absolute minimum of people must know “anything” about the operation, and the greatest amount of caution and dissimulation must attend its every move. But unless the clandestine services watch sharply it can become its own worst enemy. For if it allows the mechanisms of security to cut it off from some of the most significant lines of guidance, it destroys it own reason for existence.

With a high wall of impenetrable secrecy, it is constantly in danger of collecting the wrong information and not collecting the right. This danger is intensified by the very way the clandestine services operate. It involves highly complicated “tradecraft” techniques, clandestine agent recruitment and handling, nets and subnets, security and reliability of communications, and so on. Isolated by the security barrier, the perfecting of these techniques sometimes threatens to become and end in itself.”

All the key players were now in various positions of the government to carry on their covert activities under a cloak of secrecy. Shadow Government was indeed an appropriate name for the people who would move behind the scenes to enlist children to fight their Cold War for them by making them guinea pigs, and in some cases hypnotized operatives, spies, assassins and couriers.

Chapter 5 – Training for the Agency

Precautions must be taken not only to protect operations from exposure to enemy forces but also to conceal these activities from the American public in general. The knowledge that the Agency is engaging in unethical and illicit activities would have serious repercussions in political and diplomatic circles and would be detrimental to the accomplishment of its mission

I was told that I worked for “The Agency.” It was in actuality, key men and women in the CIA and other branches of the government, in league with certain extremely wealthy individuals who wanted to remain in the shadows shaping the outcome of world events.

As Lt. Col. Roberts said when he testified before a special joint committee of the Wisconsin State Legislature, “The most secret knowledge, a science which outdates history, is the science of control over people, governments and civilizations. The foundation of this ultimate discipline is the control of wealth. Through the control of wealth come the control of public information and the necessities of life. Through the control of news media comes thought control. Through the control of basic necessities comes direct control of people. A significant portion of the American public is yet to become aware of the Invisible Government of Monetary Power.”

Early on, an information hot line was established between these people of money and power and people like Allen Dulles, Sid Gottlieb, Richard Nixon, and others. This hotline enabled them to be kept informed of the content of these experiments and who was participating. They in turn, found ways of blackmailing certain of these politicians, doctors, and scientists, so that they could control and manipulate some of these experiments. They hoped to eventually benefit personally from certain research findings. Many of the experiments started under Bluebird, Artichoke and MKULTRA continued behind the scenes, covertly and independent of the funding and knowledge of most of our government Black Projects with Black Budgets. Burton Hersh, describes the no questions asked as giving “rise to that generation’s intelligence barons, its mysterious, mission-oriented professionals who held themselves accountable to nobody, unconcerned with constitutional limitations”
⁸⁶

The Senate Intelligence Committee concluded in 1976 that the CIA used compartmentation in the MKULTRA Program to conceal their “unethical and illicit activities.”
⁸⁷
Senator Frank Church, who led the congressional investigation of the CIA’s improper and unlawful actions said that agency was “a rogue elephant” in the 1950s and 1960s, operating above the law and out of control as it plotted assassinations, illegally spied on thousands of Americans, and even drugged our own citizens in its effort to develop new weapons for its covert arsenal.” The Agency would use any methods it needed to achieve its goals. Brice Taylor, in her book
Starshine: One Woman’s Valiant Escape from Mind Control
refers to these people as the Council.

In an interview for
Nexus Magazine
written by David G. Guyatt, former CIA/DIA deep-cover agent “Chip” Tatum takes this a step further when he speaks of a group he calls “Pegasus.”
⁸⁹
He says that this group operated on behalf of the US and other governments, undertaking tasks that ranged from narcotics smuggling to assassinations. He said that Pegasus was established during the Eisenhower years as a secret group inside the CIA to spy on that agency on behalf of the President. According to Tatum, the directors of Pegasus meet once a year in secret conclave following G7 meetings. The mission of Pegasus, Tatum explains is “to ‘align’ world leaders and financiers to our [US] policies and standards.”

Lyman Kirkpatrick, who had been appointed Inspector General of the CIA in the fifties by Frank Wisner, characterized the entire covert operation as pretty much a matter of “who’s manipulating whom.” In an interview in 1982 with Burton Hersh he said, “That’s why controls are important. It’s done through money, the development of friendships, of mutuality of interests. You get people so much in your debt, under your control that they can’t break off or betray you.”
⁹⁰

Burton Hersh also reported that Allen Dulles relied on commercial associations to mask the Agency’s fund transfers. He says, “The J. Henry Schroder Banking Corporation and the Schroder Trust functioned as prime depositories for CIA monies throughout the fifties and sixties, long after the New York branch had formally been reabsorbed by the London-based J. Henry Schroder and Company, Limited. Like the Kaplan Foundation and half a dozen others which ultimately served as conduits between the accumulating fronts and the proliferation of committees and congresses and institutes and societies, the banking nexus depended on how many layers of concealment an operation might require.”

Less you immediately dismiss this as just another conspiracy theory, in November 1998 in an interview with
The
Observer
; the former US Ambassador to Chile, Edward Korry told a remarkable story. He said it was important to take out of the shadows the last case of US ‘dollar diplomacy’. Korry described still classified cables, and information censored in papers but now available under the US Freedom of Information Act. He had served under Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon, and he told how US companies, from cola to copper used the CIA as an international debt collection agency and investment security force.

President-elect Gregory Palast reported that the CIA’s October 1970 plot to overthrow Chile’s Salvador Allende was the direct result of a plea for action a month earlier by PepsiCo chairman, Donald Kendall to the company’s former lawyer, President Richard Nixon. Richard Helms testified that he thought Nixon’s determination to act was the doing of Donald Kendall who had arranged for the owner of the company’s Chilean bottling operation, Agustin Edwards and himself to meet National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger and John Mitchell for breakfast on September 15 1970. Hours later, Nixon called in his CIA chief, Richard Helms and according to Helm’s handwritten notes ordered the CIA to prevent Allende’s inauguration. In fact Nixon told Helms to leave no stone unturned in the attempt to block Allende’s confirmation.

Korry told Palast that in 1963 American-based firms had kicked back millions of dollars to pay for well over half of Eduardo Frei, the Christian Democratic party candidates’ successful election campaign in return for questionable, guarantees and insurance arranged by the US government. They had invested 2 billion dollars in the Chilean economy, consequently the US government committed extraordinary monetary, intelligence and political resources to protect them.

When US financial and political investments faced unexpected jeopardy in 1970 because of Allende’s plans to nationalize their operations, President Nixon came under intense pressure from his political donors in business. The president was aware that the owner of Chile’s phone company, ITT Corporation, was illegally channeling funds into Republican Party coffers. Nixon could not ignore ITT. An ITT board member, ex-CIA director John McCone, pledged Kissinger $1 million in support of CIA action to prevent Allende from taking office. Separately, Anaconda Copper and other multinationals under the aegis of David Rockefeller’s Business Group for Latin America offered $500,000 to buy influence with Chilean congressmen to reject confirmation of Allende’s victory. Korry vetoed the cash for payoffs from Anaconda and the other firms. Korry disclosed that he even turned in an army major to the Chilean authorities who planned to assassinate Allende. Korry said he was unaware the officer was linked to the CIA plotters.

Another secret group was made up of scientists called the “Golden Fleece.” The Pentagon-funded Institute picked these men and women in the late 1950s for defense analysis. Their jobs were to do some of the most esoteric and complex defense research. The whole success of this enterprise depended upon establishing it as a mark of highest prestige to be invited into this elite group.

birth in 1958. ARPA officials said that some 20 “Jason’s,” an elite, informal, almost secret group was still at its disposal in 1976. Over the years, the “Jason’s” have been holding quiet brainstorming sessions at hideaways around the country to feed ARPA ideas.”
⁹³
Supposedly these scientists represented the cream of the scholarly community in technical fields, and helped the government produce many of its most advanced technical weapons systems since the end of the Second World War.

Daniel Kevles, in his book
The Physicists
says that some forty Jason’s, many with their families, would spend six or seven summer weeks pondering defense issues at Woods Hole, Massachusetts or La Jolla, California. He talks about “their work on the development of an electronic barrier, a system of electronic sensing devices to be strung across a no-man’s-land between North and South Vietnam that would blow up anyone, civilian or combatant, who ventured into the area.” He goes on to quote Fred Bramfman, the director of an anti war research group in Washington, D.C. as saying that the group’s work in opposition to the strategic arms race meant that the Jason’s “are lesser, rather than greater, war criminals. They are dramatic examples of how it is possible to be a moderate, well-meaning, decent war criminal.”

I wonder if they too were privy to the secret weapon that the CIA was building? Children as mind-controlled operatives certainly were advanced technical weapons. Some of the training and experimentation that many of us became involved in was a clear indication of what lengths these power hungry egomaniacs were willing to go, to accomplish their New World Order. I detest these people for invading my mind and creating alters for their own evil purposes.

These mind-controlled (MC) parts were told they had a “Nobler Purpose” and that they “Must survive at any cost.” As such, suicide programs were layered into my system in the event that I should start to heal and tell. The strength and courage it has taken to break the hold these men had on my mind, and not react to this suicide programming is a clear indicator of the beauty of the spirit that lay within each of us.
