Secretive Catholic Order, Pope knew priest was paedophile, Dutch Catholic

Church

Secretive Catholic Order Founded by Accused Pedophile Under Fire 3/14/10

- As sex abuse scandals rock the Vatican, the results of an investigation

into a rich, ultra-conservative and secretive Roman Catholic order founded

by a priest accused of pedophilia and incest are due to be filed in Rome

tomorrow.

The sordid story of the Legion of Christ, whose late founder, the Rev.

Marcial Maciel Degollado, was a close ally of Pope John Paul II before being

forcibly retired by the Vatican in 2006, is a microcosm of the crisis

currently enveloping the church....

The controversy over the Legion, which is now barred or severely

restricted from operating in six U.S. dioceses, is especially awkward for Benedict

because he wants to have John Paul, a staunch defender of the order,

canonized.

"Maciel was a sexual criminal of epic proportions who gained the trust of

John Paul II and created a movement that is as close to a cult as anything

we've seen in the church," said author Jason Berry, one of two reporters

who broke the Maciel story in 1997 and who directed a 2008 documentary about

the priest called "Vows of Silence."... .

In 1997, nine former high-ranking seminarians accused Maciel, who died in

2008, of sexually abusing them when they were boys training for the

priesthood. Last year, it was discovered Maciel had an illegitimate daughter born

in 1986 in Spain. Two Mexican men who say they are Maciel's sons claim he

also sexually abused them as children.

"But he got away with it for years and still in a sense he's getting away

with it."

Though the Vatican knew of improprieties involving Maciel as far back as

1956, he was praised and protected by John Paul II, who became pope in 1978

and once called Maciel "an efficacious guide to youth."

Even when the former seminarians went public in 1997 about Maciel's sexual

abuse and filed a formal complaint with the Vatican, the church at first

did nothing while the Legion and other high-profile conservative Catholics

called them liars.

A book, Vows of Silence, written by Hartford Courant reporter Gerald

Renner and writer Jason Berry, was published in 2004 with what one reviewer

called "horror stories... of brainwashing, manipulation, pederast seduction

rituals, character assassination, bribes, drug abuse, gulag-type threats --

you name it."

Catholic child abuse - nuns also accused 9 March 2010 By Britta Wielaard

Following recent reports about sexual abuse of children by Dutch priests, it

now appears that some nuns also took advantage of their charges. Tuesday's

edition of newspaper De Telegraaf contains the story of Herman Harends, who

says he was abused by nuns at a Roman Catholic boarding school he attended

in the 1950s.

Radio Netherlands Worldwide and newspaper NRC Handelsblad published their

report on sexual abuse within the Roman Catholic church two weeks ago.

Since then, more and people have come forward, saying they, too, were childhood

victims.

Dutch Catholic Church faces child sex abuse scandal 26 February 2010 By

Robert Chesal

Large-scale abuse - At the boarding school in 's-Heerenberg, 80 to 100

boys between the ages of 12 and 18 slept in four large dormitories. "Sometimes

you knew for sure: there's something going on between that boy and that

priest. And that other priest has a number of boys up in his room. It

happened on a large scale. Several of the priests were involved.".. ..

Since it was set up in 1995, the hotline has received almost 300 reports

of sexual abuse. "It has taken too long for the Church to apologise and take

action. (.) The Dutch bishops adopted the same `wait and see' approach. I

didn't get the impression that dealing with sexual abuse was a priority for

them."

Committee resigns - Two years ago, dissatisfied with the attitude taken by

the Dutch bishops, Yvo van Kuijck, now vice-president of the District

Court in Arnhem, resigned along with the entire Assessment and Advisory

Committee. Priests guilty of abuse in one parish were simply transferred to

another parish where they were free to find new victims. "Not only is that

unprofessional, it's inconceivable. "

Pope knew priest was paedophile but allowed him to continue with ministry

3/13/10 Richard Owen, Rome

The Pope was drawn directly into the Roman Catholic sex abuse scandal last

night as news emerged of his part in a decision to send a paedophile

priest for therapy. The cleric went on to reoffend and was convicted of child

abuse but continues to work as a priest in Upper Bavaria. The priest was sent

from Essen to Munich for therapy in 1980 when he was accused of forcing an

11-year-old boy to perform oral sex. The archdiocese confirmed that the

Pope, who was then a cardinal, had approved a decision to accommodate the

priest in a rectory while the therapy took place.

The priest, identified only as H, was subsequently convicted of sexually

abusing minors after he was moved to pastoral work in nearby Grafing. In

1986 he was given an 18-month suspended jail sentence and fined DM 4,000

(£1,800 today). There have been no formal charges against him since. The church

has been accused of a cover-up after at least 170 allegations of child

abuse by German Catholic priests.

Vatican to Drop Statute of Limitations for Pedophile Priests March 13,

2010 By Flavia Krause-Jackson (Bloomberg) - The Vatican's chief prosecutor

will remove the statute of limitations for priests accused of child

molestation and said today it was "false and calumnious" to accuse Pope Benedict XVI

of a cover-up.... Benedict has struggled to contain damage to the Church's

reputation by allegations of sexual abuse by priests.

Bringing the scandal a step closer to the papacy, a German Church report

said yesterday that when he was archbishop of Munich he took part in the

1980 decision to move a priest accused of molestation to his diocese to

undergo therapy....Asked whether the Church has been too lenient, Scicluna says

"it may be that in the past, perhaps also out of a misdirected desire to

protect the good name of the institution, some bishops were, in practice, too

indulgent towards this sad

phenomenon." _http://www.business week.com/ news/2010- 03-13/vatican- to-drop-statute- of-limitations- for-pedophile- priests.html_

Child abuse claims sweep Catholic Church in Europe By SHAWN POGATCHNIK

(AP) - 3/13/10 DUBLIN - It often starts as a voice in the wilderness, but can

swell into an entire nation's demand for truth. From Ireland to Germany,

Europe's many victims of child abuse in the Roman Catholic church are finally

breaking social taboos and confronting the clergy....Floodgate s opened for

Irish complaints that have topped 15,000 in this country of 4 million.

Three government-ordered investigations have shocked and disgusted the nation,

which has footed most of the bill to settle legal claims topping euro1

billion (nearly $1.5 billion)....

In January, an elite Jesuit school in Berlin declared it was aware of

seven child-abuse cases in its past and appointed an outside investigator,

Ursula Raue, to seek testimony. Within weeks, she had gathered stories of

long-suppressed woe from more than 100 ex-students abused by their Jesuit

masters, and from 60 molested by parish

priests._http://www.google. com/hostednews/ ap/article/ ALeqM5h_cfU5Tnim DgvhfygQBB2Nlzik uQD9EDRVS00_

Pope will struggle to survive abuse scandal By John Cooney 3/13/10

A depressing week for Pope Benedict dramatically escalated last night

into an unprecedented papal crisis when he was directly implicated in a

cover-up of a German paedophile priest when he was Cardinal Archbishop of Munich

30 years ago. The latest revelations are so potentially damaging to the

reputation of then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger that speculation was mounting

last night that they could severely, perhaps even irreparably, damage his

moral authority as Pope Benedict XVI. It was being speculated that the German

Pope could conceivably have to recognise that his position as supreme

pontiff could become untenable -- and do what was until now considered

impossible, resign from the Petrine throne....

The Dutch church has climbed to 350 complaints just a week after the

Salesians first admitted they were investigating claims that three pupils in a

school were abused in the 1960s. In Austria, the Benedictine arch-abbot of

St Peter's in Salzburg has resigned after admitting he abused a 12-year-old

boy 40 years ago.

Benedict's involvement 'shows extent of cover-ups' By Breda Heffernan

3/13/10 Irish victims of clerical sex abuse said the involvement of Pope

Benedict XVI in covering up for paedophile priests showed that the practice was

endemic within the Catholic Church and said he should now consider his own

position. Andrew Madden, who was abused by a priest in the Dublin

Archdiocese, said it appeared the Pope was doing the same thing as the archbishops of

Dublin going back to John Charles McQuaid by not reporting clerics to the

civil authorities. ...

Another victim, Marie Collins, said the implication of the Pope in

clerical sex scandals in Germany showed the practice of covering up for offenders

and moving them on to different dioceses was

"church-wide" ._http://www.independ ent.ie/national- news/benedicts- involvement- shows-extent- of-coverups- 2098

Child abuse is traumatic and happens often, it changes DNA, Johnny Gosch

The large study below shows that child abuse is traumatic and sexual abuse

happens to one in four women and one in six men.

The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study is one of the largest

investigations ever conducted on the links between childhood maltreatment and

later-life health and well-being. As a collaboration between the Centers for

Disease Control and Prevention and Kaiser Permanente's Health Appraisal

Clinic in San Diego, Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) members undergoing a

comprehensive physical examination provided detailed information about

their childhood experience of abuse, neglect, and family dysfunction. Over

17,000 members chose to participate. ...The ACE Study findings suggest that

these experiences are major risk factors for the leading causes of illness and

death as well as poor quality of life in the United States._

http://www.cdc. gov/nccdphp/ ACE/_ (http://www.cdc. gov/nccdphp/ ACE/)

Childhood abuse, neglect, and exposure to other traumatic stressors which

we term adverse childhood experiences (ACE) are common. Almost two-thirds

of our study participants reported at least one ACE, and more than one in

five reported three or more ACE. The short- and long-term outcomes of these

childhood exposures include a multitude of health and social problems.... as

the number of ACE increase, the risk for the following health problems

increases in a strong and graded fashion: * alcoholism and alcohol abuse

* chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) * depression *

fetal death * health-related quality of life * illicit drug use *

ischemic heart disease (IHD) * liver disease * risk for intimate

partner violence * multiple sexual partners * sexually transmitted

Mind & Brain / Mental Health - Top 100 Stories of 2009 #61: Child Abuse

Leaves Its Mark on Victim's DNA - The brains of people who were abused as

children and then commit suicide show DNA modifications that made them

particularly sensitive to stress. by Amy Barth

From the January-February special issue; published online December 28,

2009

Childhood trauma may leave a lasting imprint not just on the psyche but

also in the DNA. This news comes from McGill University and the Suicide Brain

Bank, a Quebec-based organization that carried out autopsies on suicide

victims who had been abused as kids. Across the board, their brains showed

DNA modifications that made them particularly sensitive to stress. Although

gene variations are primarily inherited at conception, the findings show

that environmental impacts can also introduce them later on. "The idea that

abuse changes how genes function opens a new window for behavioral and drug

therapy," says study leader and neuroscientist Patrick McGowan.

During periods of adversity, the brain triggers release of cortisol, a

hormone responsible for the fight-or-flight response. Due to differential gene

expression associated with stress, the brains of child-abuse victims had

lower levels of glucocorticoid receptors, McGowan found. Cortisol normally

binds to these receptors; with fewer of them present, there is more cortisol

and less resilience to feelings of stress.

The Franklin Scandal - nationwide pedophile ring

_http://franklinscan dal.com/_ (http://franklinscan dal.com/)

The FRANKLIN SCANDAL is the story of a nationwide pedophile ring that

pandered children to a cabal of the rich and powerful. The ring’s pimps were a

pair of political powerbrokers who had access to the highest levels of our

government. Nebraska legislators nearly exposed the ring in 1990, but its

unveiling had the potential to produce seismic political aftershocks. The

legislators' efforts resulted in rash of mysterious deaths and the overpowering

corruption of federal and local law enforcement, including the FBI, Secret

Service, and Justice Department, effecting an immaculate cover-up of the

trafficking network.

The FRANKLIN SCANDAL will be the first book to tell the complete tale of a

power elite pedophile ring in the US and also of the cover-up of its

heinous crimes.

Click on a version of Conspiracy of Silence that has never been seen until

now.

(Conspiracy of Silence was a documentary about child trafficking in the

U.S. that was to be shown in the United Kingdom, but it was suppressed by the

Discovery Channel. However, a rough-cut of the documentary was leaked, and

it has since become an Internet phenomenon.)

Sympathy for the Devil: Ritual Abuse, "False Memories," and the CIA by

Nick Bryant

excerpts:

....The ritual abuse described by the children at the Presidio and West

Point day care centers was remarkably similar, so it begs a rather disturbing

question: Were these children from disparate geographical locations

actually abused in the same ritualistic manner or were they conjuring up the

same, incomprehensible stories?

In The Franklin Scandal, I also discuss a cult called the Finders and a

subsequent law enforcement investigation into their activities: On February

4, 1987, a concerned citizen notified the Tallahassee Police Department that

he had observed six white children, poorly dressed, bruised, dirty, and

behaving like wild animals, in a Tallahassee park. The children were

accompanied by two well-dressed white males driving a white 1979 Dodge van with

Virginia plates. The Tallahassee police responded to the call and took the

children and adults into custody. The children told Tallahassee police they

were not allowed to live indoors and were given food only as a reward. The

Tallahassee police charged the two adults with felony child abuse, and they

were held on a $100,000 bond. The children were placed in protective

custody....

In The Franklin Scandal, I also discuss the Extreme Abuse Survey (EAS), an

international online survey for adult survivors of extreme abuse that was

conducted between January 1 and March 30 of 2007. The EAS respondents were

questioned about the use of feces and blood in their ritual abuse, and

1,106 of EAS respondents answered the questions regarding abuse with feces and

blood. Fifty percent of EAS respondents said that they had been subjected

to abuse with feces, and 63% responded that the use of blood was integral to

their abuse. So like the victims of the Presidio and West Point day care

centers, hundreds of EAS respondents, who come from a myriad of disparate

locations around the globe, convey the same horrific, implausible events....

So the Presidio victims' claim that they were forced to eat feces and

drink urine seems preposterous on the surface, but if their allegations are

examined in the wider context of extreme abuse or ritual abuse, the children's

allegations shed their implausibility, because they are corroborated by

multiple sources from widely disparate geographic locations and points in

time. However, skeptics of the accounts given by the Presidio victims and the

hundreds of other alleged victims who discuss extreme or ritualistic abuse

maintain that these memories were planted by therapists-- therapists from

widely disparate geographic locations and points in time....

Despite the stance of the FMSF and its credential-laden experts, false

memories or dissociative amnesia is recognized as a bona fide condition by the

Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), which is the

bible of diagnosing psychiatric conditions, whereas the false memory

syndrome is not. Moreover, multiple studies have corroborated the realty of

dissociative amnesia. A 1995 study, published in the Journal of Traumatic

Stress, looked at 46 subjects with PTSD. Over time, 35 of the study's subjects

reported the gradual emergence of a personal narrative that they believed

could be defined as an explicit memory lost to significant or total amnesia,

and 77% of those subjects reported confirmation of that particular memory of

childhood trauma....

The Freyds recruited Ralph Underwager, a Lutheran theologian and

psychologist, and his wife to be co-founders of the FMSF--Underwager and his wife

published Issues in Child Abuse Accusations, which accommodated Pamela

Freyd's initial assault on her daughter's credibility. Underwager would prove to

have a relatively short tenure with the FMSF, because of various statements

he made to the press. London's Sunday Times reported that Underwager said

''scientific evidence'' has shown that 60% of women who are molested as

children felt that the experience was good for them--he contended the same

could be true for boys....

FMSF Advisory Board members, particularly members who Dr. Ross connected

to the CIA's mind control programs, are extremely skeptical or completely

disavow dissociation, a mental state where traumatic thoughts, emotions,

sensations, and/or memories are compartmentalized, repressed and actually

separated from an individual's identity. Though the overwhelming majority of the

CIA's mind control documentation was ordered destroyed, bureaucratic

ineptitude enabled some of it to survive and one set of documents said "special

attention will be given to dissociative states."

In that specific experiment, the documentation discussed administering

electric shock, drugs, hypnosis, and psychological tricks to three

groups--psychotics, children, and mediums--to induce various states of dissociation,

including multiple personality, which the researchers thought would enhance

the subjects' extrasensory perception.

Del. doctor indicted in serial child abuse scandal 2/23/10 By RANDALL

CHASE - DOVER, Del. (AP) - Prosecutors expect to add more counts to a lengthy

indictment against a Delaware pediatrician charged with serial molestation

of 103 children as investigators urge former patients and parents to come

forward. A grand jury returned a 160-page indictment Monday against Dr. Earl

Bradley of Lewes with 471 counts of sexual crimes....

Announcing the grand jury's indictment, Attorney General Beau Biden said

all of the alleged victims, mainly girls but including one boy, were caught

on more than 13 hours of video recordings, some dating to 1998....

The indictment alleges Bradley was videotaping his sexual exploitation of

patients as far back as December 1998. Many victims were assaulted

repeatedly, some on consecutive days, according to the indictment, which alleges

that one girl was raped more than a dozen times over a period that lasted

more than a year....

After years of suspicions among parents and questions about his strange

behavior from colleagues, Bradley was arrested after a 2-year-old girl told

her mother that the doctor hurt her in December when he took her to a

basement room of his office after an exam.

The Warlord's Tune: Afghanistan' s war on children By Mark Bannerman for

Four Corners 2/22/10

Sexual slavery involving boys as young as 10 is being condoned and in many

cases protected by authorities in northern Afghanistan. In a story to be

broadcast on Four Corners tonight, the practice of bacha bazi or "boy play",

as well as other allegations of child abuse, are explored. Afghan

journalist Najibullah Quraishi has filmed police attending a party where a young

boy is the "entertainment" . The police shown on the video include one officer

from the youth crime squad. Such parties are illegal under Afghanistan law

and with good reason. The "dancing boys" are in effect sex slaves. They

are lured off the streets by pimps. They are taught to dance and sing, to

wear make-up and to dress like girls. Then they are made to perform before

large groups of men. All of them are sexually abused.

Dancing boys are a lucrative business. Powerful former warlords and

businessmen love to watch them and will pay a lot of money to have their own boy

for bacha bazi. Some of the boys are traded like swap cards among the rich

and powerful, and if they disobey their owners they are killed or

brutalised. The trade in boys is well known to the United Nations. According to

Nazir Alimy, who compiled a report on the issue for the UN, there is no doubt

who is funding this practice and why the police refuse to stop it....There

is also evidence this type of abuse is spreading throughout Afghanistan. Mr

Alimy says his research shows it is happening in the south and even in the

Afghan capital, Kabul._

Terms of sex cult leader's release anger community 8/15/08 (CNN) - The

leader of a religious group that authorities believe preys on children was

released from a Pennsylvania prison Friday but won't be required to register

as a sex offender, triggering outrage in the community where he plans to

live....George Feigley, now 68, was convicted in 1975 on charges including

statutory rape, indecent assault and corrupting the morals of minors.

Because Feigley's 1975 conviction predated the passage of Megan's Law, he

will not be required to register as a sex offender. And, having served his

maximum sentence, he was not put on parole upon his release....

The church's manifesto says, "We hold that the changes called creation and

procreation are divine and that human sexuality is to humans the most

available expression of that function of divinity," according to community

activist Scott Portzline, who has researched Feigley's history and that of the

group. "Sexual activity is the greatest act a human can do."_

on The Progressive Radio News Hour (on The Progressive Radio Network),

February 18 at 10AM US Central time to discuss MK-ULTRA

MK-ULTRA: The CIA's Mind Control Program by Stephen Lendman 2/16/10

Conducting human mind control experiments are clearly illegal and unethical.

They're more sophisticated than ever today, and claims that MK-ULTRA

experiments were halted in the 1970s were false. Renamed they continue....

It began "in the fall of 1947 focusing on the identification and testing

of drugs (LSD and others) in interrogations and the recruitment of agents.

The research included laboratory experiments on both animal and human

subjects. The program ended shortly after the Korean War in 1953."

It was run under the direction of Dr. Charles Savage of the Naval Medical

Research Institute, Bethesda, MD from 1947 - 1953, after which CIA's Office

of Scientific Intelligence continued it under the name Project Bluebird,

its first mind control program to:

* learn how to condition subjects to withstand information from being

extracted from them by known means;

* develop interrogation methods to exert control;

* develop memory enhancement techniques; and

* establish ways to prevent hostile control of Agency personnel.

In 1951, it was renamed Project Artichoke, then MK-ULTRA under Deputy CIA

Director Richard Helms in 1953. It aimed to control human behavior through

psychedelic and hallucinogenic drugs, electroshock, radiation, graphology,

paramilitary techniques, and psychological/ sociological/ anthropological

methods, among others - a vast open-field of mind experimentation trying

anything that might work, legal or otherwise on willing and unwitting subjects.

Ongoing at different times were 149 sub-projects in 80 US and Canadian

universities, medical centers and three prisons, involving 185 researchers, 15

foundations and numerous drug companies. Everything was top secret.

Ongoing at different times were 149 sub-projects in 80 US and Canadian

universities, medical centers and three prisons, involving 185 researchers, 15

foundations and numerous drug companies. Everything was top secret, and

most records later destroyed, yet FOIA suits salvaged thousands of pages with

documented evidence of the horrific experiments and their effects on human

subjects.

Most were unwitting guinea pigs, and those consenting were misinformed of

the dangers. James Stanley was a career soldier when given LSD in 1958

along with 1,000 other military "volunteers. " They suffered hallucinations,

memory loss, incoherence, and severe personality changes. Stanley exhibited

uncontrollable violence. It destroyed his family, impeded his working

ability, and he never knew why until the Army asked him to participate in a

follow-up study.

He sued for damages under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), his case

reaching the Supreme Court in United States v. Stanley. Argued and decided in

1987, the Court dismissed his claim (5 - 4), ruling his injuries occurred

during military service. Justices Thurgood Marshall, William Brennan and

Sandra Day O'Conner wrote dissenting opinions, saying the Nuremberg Code

applies to soldiers as well as civilians. In 1996, Stanley got $400,000 in

compensation, but no apology from the government.

Perhaps MK-ULTRA's most publicized victim was Frank Olsen, a biochemist

working for the Army Chemical Corps' Special Operations Division at Ft.

Detrick, MD. On November 18, 1953, he was administered LSD. Immediately, he

became agitated and severely paranoid. Nine days later, he reportedly committed

suicide by jumping 13 stories to his death through a New York hotel's

closed window. His family members didn't know he was drugged until MK-ULTRA was

exposed in 1975.

President Gerald Ford apologized, granted a $750,000 settlement, but

Olson's son discovered documents suggesting his father was killed. In 1994, he

exhumed the body, had it forensically evaluated, and the conclusion was

homicide based on a previously undetected skull fracture suggesting a blow on

the head and other disturbing evidence.

Stanley Glickman was another MK-ULTRA tragedy, an unwitting victim of

hallucinogenic drugs and electroshock treatment. He became traumatized,

couldn't work, barely ate, suffered a psychological breakdown and never fully

recovered. After learning about the CIA's LSD experiments, he sued in 1983. The

trial was delayed 16 years, he died, but his sister Gloria Kronisch

pursued the case.

MK-ULTRA chief Stanley Gottleib was at issue, hired to run its Technical

Service Staff (TSS) to develop poisons to assassinate political opponents,

truth serum drugs for interrogating spies, and mind control techniques to

create robot assassins or unwitting double agents. He used Nazi scientists

and their state of the art methods, perfected on concentration camp victims.

Some were known as programmers, skilled professionals in the art of

breaking down and controlling the human mind.

Joseph Mengele was so successful with the trauma bonding techniques that

survivors expressed strong affection for him. Joseph Mengele did similar

work, experimenting extensively with children and adults using mescaline,

electroshock therapy, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, torture, rape, starvation,

and trauma bonding. He was so successful with the latter technique that

survivors expressed strong affection for him.

The CIA and US military copied the Nazi methodology through numerous

programs, including MK-ULTRA, MK being an abbreviation for words "mind control"

in German. According to obtained documents, it works best when severe

trauma (such as rape) occurs by age three, the result often causing the

personality to split or dissociate (called dissociative identity disorder or DID)

to repress painful memories....

Under Operation Paperclip, 9,000 Nazi scientists and technicians were

recruited to help undermine the Soviet Union....

On December 22, 1974, Seymour Hersh exposed MK-ULTRA in a New York Times

article. Headlined, "Huge CIA Operation Reported in US Against Antiwar

Forces, Other Dissidents in Nixon Years," it documented illegal activities,

including secret experiments on US citizens during the 1960s and earlier.

Church Committee Congressional investigations followed, headed by Senator Frank

Church, on abusive intelligence practices, replaced by the Pike Committee

five months later. The Rockefeller Commission, under vice president Nelson

Rockefeller, also examined the domestic activities of the CIA, FBI, and

military intelligence agencies.

By summer 1975, it was learned that CIA and Department of Defense had

conducted illegal experiments on willing and unwitting subjects as part of an

exhaustive program to influence human behavior through psychoactive drugs

(including LSD and mescaline) and other chemical, biological, psychological,

and other methods.

Origins of CIA Mind Manipulation Practices

CIA became interested in Montreal Dr. Ewen Cameron's work at McGill

University's Allan Memorial Institute. With full knowledge of the Canadian

government, he was funded to perform bizarre experiments on his psychiatric

patients, including keeping them asleep and isolated for weeks, then

administering large doses of electroshock and experimental drug cocktails, LSD and PCP

angel dust among them.

Though clearly unethical, Cameron believed by blasting the human brain

with an array of shocks, he could unmake impaired minds, rebuilding them with

new personalities cleansed of their previous state. It was voodoo science

and failed, but CIA gained a wealth of knowledge it's used to this day.

In 1951, the Agency engaged McGill's director of psychology, Dr. Donald

Hebb, and others to conduct sensory-deprivation experiments on volunteer

students. They showed intense isolation disrupts clear thinking enough to make

subjects receptive to suggestion. They were also formidable interrogation

techniques amounting to torture when forcibly administered.

These early experiments laid the foundation for CIA's two-stage torture

process - sensory deprivation followed by overload. University of Wisconsin

historian Alfred McCoy documented them in his book, "A Question of Torture:

CIA Interrogation, from the Cold War to the War on Terror," calling them

"the first real revolution in the cruel science of pain in more than three

centuries.". ...

Subsequent Carter and Reagan directives banned all human experimentation.

Nonetheless, they continue, in violation of the Nuremberg Code that

prohibits:

* medical experiments without the voluntary consent of human subjects -

"without coercion, fraud, deceit, and the full disclosure of known risks;"

* those "where there is an a priori reason to believe that death or

disabling injury will occur;" and

* only ones expected "to yield fruitful results for the good of society,

unprocurable by other methods or means of study...."

Conducting human mind control experiments are clearly illegal and

unethical. They're more sophisticated than ever today, and claims that MK-ULTRA

experiments were halted in the 1970s were false. Renamed they continue and

much more.....

MK-ULTRA Victim Maryam Ruhullah

This writer will interview Ruhullah and Dr. James Randall Noblitt, a

licensed psychologist, on The Progressive Radio News Hour (on The Progressive

Radio Network), February 18 at 10AM US Central time to discuss MK-ULTRA,

Ruhullah's experience and Noblitt's work with survivors of extreme abuse and

individuals afflicted with identity dissociation. Noblitt is a Professor at

the California School of Professional Psychology and Chair of the

International Society of Trauma and Dissociation Ritual Abuse/Mind Control Interest

Group....

As an MK-ULTRA victim, Ruhullah's memory was impaired and somewhat still

is because of what she experienced. She explained it as follows.

In the early 1970s, she lived in Boston, MA, was married with a six-year

old son, and as a lawyer worked for a prestigious firm, its name she can't

remember. "One day, two federal agents came to (her) home unannounced, "

asking her to be a federal witness against an alleged organized crime figure.

For her safety, they explained, she'd be placed in protective custody for a

period not exceeding six months. She was asked to leave her family and job

immediately, and say nothing to her husband and employer.

She "was forced to leave (her) home with the agents that day." She got no

choice, and "was treated more like a prisoner than a witness." She couldn't

use the phone or communicate with anyone, was transferred frequently, and

held in "very low budget places," during which time her life "became a

succession of abuses and exploitations. "

"To this day," she says, she doesn't know precisely "when or why the

government decided to use" her for MK-ULTRA experimentation, "but one day (she)

was a mother, wife, and attorney, then, (later) had no memory of (her)

past."

Having partly recovered it, she recalls "being given non-medically

necessary electro-shock treatments. This was done to create amnesia (to block her)

core personality and replac(e) it with" only need-to-know information.

She remembers "that the shock treatment given (her) was so severe and

often that one day something happened and" she wasn't returned to her room. She

now speaks of "an unbelievable long list of horrid exploitations and

inhumane abuses" done to her....

Ruhullah also explains that federal agents stopped communicating with her.

Her experiences were "totally removed from the public record," and she

went from "being a missing person to becoming a person erased." She's now

divorced and unable to contact her children and former friends. "The US

government does not want (her) story told."....

She says she "was not released from custody." After being used for medical

experiments, she was "given an implanted false identity, then left

penniless and without proof of (her) true identity or lineage." She still

considers herself a prisoner, a body with no persona, with little knowledge of her

former self, stripped of everything important in her life.

MK-ULTRA and Ruhullah's story will be featured on the Progressive Radio

News Hour on February 18 at 10AM US Central time on The Progressive Radio

Network.

Haiti case adviser linked to child prostitution PATRICIA MAZZEI AND

GERARDO REYES February 15, 2010 SANTO DOMINGO: The man providing legal advice

to American church workers charged with trying to take children out of Haiti

may have a string of legal charges against him in the US and has emerged

as the key suspect in a child prostitution ring in El Salvador....

Using photos and fingerprints, police say they are close to confirming

that Mr Torres Puello is the suspect wanted since last year for leading a

network that recruited children for prostitution in Nicaragua, the Dominican

Republic and El Salvador. In the interview with the Miami Herald, his mother

confirmed that his wife - Ana Josefa Galvarina Ramirez Orellana - had been

convicted in the case and was in jail in San Salvador. Police broke the

ring last year after three children aged 14, 15 and 16 escaped from a house in

El Salvador and went to the police to report they had been forced to pose

naked to promote the enterprise._

Do you remember Adam Walsh from "Americas Most Wanted?" He is a huge advocate for abducted children (as his own child was abducted many years ago) and that is the reason that he did the show. Please check out his link below.

Some of you have received the article I sent today about the new rape law that has been proclaimed by Karzai in Afghanistan. I urge you to read the article on the Independent web site (link below) and then write to your newspapers, your MPs and Senators, to anyone who will listen...Send copies of the article to everyone you know, especially to the politicians.

Women are suffering, dying in Afghanistan and no one is hearing their cries. We must speak out for them and get our governments to act on their behalf...and get all foreign troops out...NOW.

(Please...send this throughout your networks and urge your friends and colleagues to do the same...)

"Dust has been thrown into the eyes of the world by your governments.

You have not been told the truth. The situation now is as catastrophic

as it was under the Taliban for women. Your governments have replaced

the fundamentalist rule of the Taliban with another fundamentalist

regime of warlords. (That is) what your soldiers are dying for." Malai

NEW SURVEY for RA survivors

Dear All,

    Below is an announcement from Jeanne Sarson RN, BScN, MEd, and Linda
MacDonald RN, BN, MEd, of Persons Against Ritual Abuse Torture.

Research on ritual abuse-torture and military connections

Our website has begun a new research project concerning military
connections to ritual abuse-torture (RAT). We are receiving accounts of:

1. Ritual abuse-torture by perpetrators in active military service or
military veterans.
2. RAT families/groups with military connections, for example who
were/are civilian employees.

Information learned from these brief research questions can help suggest
a common pattern of RAT victimization by perpetrators with military
connections.

The questions are linked below:

 Please ask the other survivors if they would like to be on my e-list.
    They can email me if they wish to be added.
    Here is my new, nicer website: http://www.endritualabuse.org/

    Warmly, EL

Thank-you, Linda & Jeanne
