Are You Tailed or Surveilled? by H.Michael Sweeney As author and consultant on privacy/security and abuse of power issues, I am most often asked in radio and TV interviews about what people can do to detect and defend against the kinds of threats I address in my books, videos and music available at www.proparanoidpress.com. My currently most popular book, The Professional Paranoid Defensive Field Guide, is largely a collection of such material, from which I offer tidbits from the work in my Twitter pages. But that venue affords only the briefest of advice, whereas here in PARANOIA Magazine, I can offer more useful detail. This article is also available on the Web at TruTV’s Conspiritorium.com. Are you being watched or investigated by someone? Anyone can become a target, but it’s much more likely to occur if you’re involved in a legal action or a multimillion dollar project (especially if proprietary information is involved); if you work for the government, military, or high-tech firm; are going through a divorce, affair, or criminal investigation; or are trying to exit a cult or Masonic-style group. Stranger reasons for targeting? Unfortunately, simply dialing a wrong number or getting such a call; being of a non white race engaging in profiled behavior (e.g., a Middle Eastern patron of an athletic club); subscribing to the wrong magazine or website; making a large cash transaction; saying the wrong thing (anywhere, even in jest); or simply having the same name as someone else, can get you targeted depending on who is watching and why. This is the price of allowing Big Brother to run a country as if a Fascist Police State, a matter for which you are to blame as much as they. What can you do to be safe? Listen to your subconscious and don’t discount concerns as ‘merely being paranoid.’ It is not paranoiac behavior to act on subtle clues from your subconscious when your safety is at stake, but it is logical self defense. The first step is not to react, but rather, to stop, think, and then act. By ‘act,’ I mean play act; not www.paranoiamagazine.com as if alarmed or suspicious, but rather pretend the opposite. Others will therefore not call you paranoiac, and any opponent(s) will not be warned to withdraw and conceal themselves. It allows you to safely and calmly verify or refute the reality of a threat’s existence. Subtle Clues? Things out of place or which go missing and reappear suggest violation of your home or office. Odd reactions by neighbors or coworkers indicate someone has asked questions about you in a way which has caused concern. In many forms of targeting, it is common to present (usually fake) government ID and ask questions designed to imply you are a criminal suspect, essentially recruiting their help in your targeting. Telephones acting odd? A cell phone battery that normally holds a charge well, but which dies in a day with hardly any use, means it is listening in continuously and tracking your location. Odd noises on a line, a delayed dial tone, or hearing a present conversation from the last call location, are indeed clues the phone may be tapped. Any time people know something private about you is a clear give away, and was likely a deliberate ‘slip’ to worry you and make you seem paranoid. Don’t let it bother you, or they win. What is going on behind you? Learn to be observant above all else; pay attention to people and vehicles around you. They should never be treated as simply part of the traveling backdrop scenery for matters of personal focus. Be alert for repeat presence of the same people or vehicles — while it’s fine to see the same people at the same places and times as most people have schedules and habits, it is not O.K. to see them at different parts of town at differing times or in differing vehicles. It is especially not O.K. if they are frequently looking your way or communicating constantly with others. If you do spot one, you can bet issue 52 | summer 2012 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine 3

there are others unless the one is a private eye or a stalker. Figuring that out is your next step. Are there simple tools and solutions? Absolutely: a cheap digital voice-activated pocket recorder lets you make verbal notes, but an ink pen is cheaper and does not give away thoughts if there is a bug present. Making notes of dates/times/locations/ and event descriptions with details like license plate numbers can often provide you with the answer to the basic questions of ‘Are you being targeted and if so, by who?’ Panes of glass, mirrors, and other reflective surfaces will help you keep an eye on things without seeming to do so. A pocketed digital still or video camera allows impromptu capture of hanky-panky as it unfolds, and can document what a room looked like before you left it for comparison upon return. Setting trip traps with bits of paper, hair, tape, string, etc., also tells you if someone has been rummaging about in your absence. Any trap tripped without explanation means trouble ahead. tion for emotion and sleep control; and even radio-triggered bioimplants for sexual stimulation, or Pavlovian pain training to deter sexual activity. More exotic methods are commonly reported, which would seem impossible, such as seeing what you see, hearing your inner thoughts or reading your mind, and so forth. The more unbelievable they are, the crazier you will seem. Are you crazy? That is what they want people, especially those in authority, to believe. As these are all symptoms of schizophrenia, complaining to authorities could result in forced mental evaluation. That always comes out badly since no one in the psychiatric community acknowledges the possibility of the ‘Boogey Man’ despite a long list of scientific papers (mostly government) which prove all such symptoms can be induced by electronic means. That is why “act instead of react” is so important, as it helps prevent negative assumptions about your mental health. It is not paranoiac behavior to act on subtle clues from your subconscious when your safety is at stake. How bad can it get? Targeting tends to escalate over time. General site and activity surveillance can escalate to: invasion of your home or office for planting of devices and snooping; communications and even mail surveillance; and having personal objects or clothing, or even your body implanted with tracking and listening devices. Some kinds of targeting evolve into dirty tricks and harassment such as stalking by organized groups to make you seem mental and render you a social, financial, and political zero within the ‘system’. All of this tends to escalate to the use of electronic weapons. What kinds of electronic weapons? It’s called Political Control Technology (PCT), and it’s put into the hands of psychopaths as a rule: Voice to Skull (V2S — only you hear it); microwave weapons (MW) for pain and discomfort; EEG brain wave manipula4 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine What if targeting IS taking place? Going to authorities is usually the worst thing you can do and plays into your opponent’s hands. I suggest you contact me (proparanoid at comcast net) and ask for my free help kit, which includes free initial on-line consultation, or rely on my how-to books in the Professional Paranoid Series at www.proparanoidpress.com/ library.htm, the only set of its kind to my knowledge. A private eye, lawyer, or medical and psychiatric review can inform you your rights and legal limitations and document your health and mental status over time. Take steps to protect your financial health as dirty tricks are often employed to destroy one’s resources. And above all else, you need to boost site, communications, and vehicle security, and educate live-in family members on everything related. Though there may be reasons to withhold some of your concerns so you do not appear mental, and your family members are not frightened issue 52 | summer 2012 needlessly, what they do is as important as what you do. What is the long term prognosis? There is no one answer, but when aware early on and applying proper and immediate action to buttress defenses, one can generally nip it in the bud to minimize negative outcome. The longer targeting goes on before it is confronted with useful strategy, the harder it is to end usefully. A local investigation sponsored by an individual, cops, or company tends to fizzle out in time of its own accord, but Federal types will latch on for five years even if they learn concretely up front you are clean as a whistle. But any Political Control Technology involvement, including organized stalking, will be quite a horror story by comparison. If you are targeted with PCT, the targeting will be for life if you are unable to stop it. Ultimately, no one can stop PCT targeting from running its course but you, save perhaps by direct intervention by a pro. You have to be the one to discover it, you have to be the one to seek the right kind of helps and apply the right tools. If you do not force it to stop your opponent will continue until they have what they want: your total social, moral, and physical destruction. They call them psychopaths for a reason. They call me the Professional Paranoid for a reason, too. If people are to assume you are paranoid, you need be the best that you can be, or your defenses will be so full of holes that your opponent has free reign. I help people work through their forced paranoiac circumstances. But the best defense is awareness, which is why this was written; to help keep you safe such that you do not need help from a ‘paranoid’ like me. And once aware, remember this: a strong religious faith is a more valuable defensive and offensive weapon than any purchased at any price. H.

THE the D OPPEL doppel G gang ANG BY Adam ADAM GORIGHTLY Gorightly by Over the last decade, I’ve become aware of several alleged doppelgänger sightings that have occurred at UFO, Conspiracy and New Age conferences. Doppelgänger, for those unfamiliar with the term, is the German word for double or evil twin--an entity of seemingly paranormal origins, usually regarded as a harbinger of misfortune or bad luck. Conversely, what have been perceived as doppelgängers may actually be spooks of a more prosaic origin, namely covert intel spies infiltrating events where UFO’s and government conspiracies are discussed and exposed. Much like COINTELPRO—the FBI Counter Intelligence Program of the late 1960’s andearly 1970’s that used agents provocateurs to infiltrate and sabotage radical activist groups—doppelgänger sightings indicate that individuals involved in the paranormal-conspiracy research scene are being monitored and activities disrupted and undermined with skullduggery and mindphuckery. My first inkling of this apparent paranormal-conspiratorial-doppelgängerphenomenon came courtesy of long-time correspondent, the psychic and playwright Eugenia Macer-Story, who commented to me via email several years ago about acurious encounter with an Adam Gorightly doppelgänger at a late 1990s East Coast New Age conference. What this all means--then and now--remains a continuing enigma. Whether this alleged Gorightly double sighting was actually some sort of paranormal happening, an alphabet soup spy in disguise, or something more mundane and explainable, remains a question. Eugenia, it should be noted, is not only psychic in title but is one of those rare and genuine psychics who are few and far between, tuned into hidden frequencies and wavelengths that we “normals” hardly ever hear or see, our third eye impeded by the veil of “reality.” Eugenia can lift that veil upon occasion and see beyond. I recall quite profoundlyvisiting a medical specialist in San Francisco regarding www.paranoiamagazine.com certain neurological problems I was then experiencing. Later, when I returned home and checked my email, I discovered a synchronistically psychic message from Eugenia informing me that at the very moment I was entering the medical facility in San Francisco and Eugenia was stepping onto a subway train, an image of yours truly suddenly appeared in her mind with the words: “San Francisco.” These are the type of synchronistic events that occur when one wanders into the mystic sphere of Eugenia Macer-Story, who, due to her psychic abilities, may have unconsciously summoned the aforementioned Gorightly doppelgänger well over a decade ago. Parapolitical researcher Kenn Thomas recently shared with me a rather curious photo taken at the 2003 Laughlin UFO Conference showing Kenn with a lady fan he’d previously met at other conferences. This lady forwarded the said photo to Kenn, unaware of the fact that Kenn had not attended the Laughlin Conference in 2003. The individual in the photo indeed bore a striking resemblance to Kenn: same beard, same hair color and male pattern of baldness, not to mention the nametag Kenn Thomas. Kenn, of course, was stymied upon receipt of this perplexing photo. “So what’s this all about?” Kenn asked. “Someone impersonating me? To what end? Sell books under my name? Collect data on fans who come up to the table for the FBI? Multiple Oswalds? Multiple me’s?!?!” Invoking the name “Oswald” certainly summons some of the strangest spectres of conspiracy lore, namely the multiple Oswald impersonators in New Orleans and Mexico and Dallas prior to the Kennedy assassination, portraying Oswald as a loony tune communist sympathizer while setting him up as an assassination patsy. In reality, Oswald might have been a U.S. intelligence opera- issue 52 | summer 2012 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine 5

photo: Patrick Denker tive double-crossed by his intelligence handlers and set up to take the rap for the crime of the century. An example of such shenanigans occurred at a Dallas, Texas shooting range between November 9-21, 1963, when someone calling himself “Oswald” was seen taking pot shots at other peoples’ targets and making an incredible nuisance of himself. In the Marines, Oswald was a mediocre shot whereas his doppelgänger was an expert marksman, hitting bull’s eyes with relative ease while going out of his way to draw attention to himself to show that [Oswald] was an out-ofcontrol gun-wielding wacko with a damn good aim. The Warren Commission in all its wisdom determined that the gun6 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine wielding wacko in question was not Oswald because the real Oswald was at another location when the shooting-range incident occurred. Just the same, the Warren Commission never answered or even entertained the question of exactly who the mysterious marksman was.After the assassination, the shooting range witnesses remained convinced that it was Oswald whom they’d seen, even though the Warren Commission concluded that this was physically impossible unless Oswald was in two places at the same time. New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison contended that one of these alleged Oswald doppelgängers was none other than Kerry Thornley, the subject of my 2003 book, The issue 52 | summer 2012 Prankster and The Conspiracy. In the late 1950s, Thornley had served with Oswald in the Marines and was in fact writing a book about Oswald three years prior to the Kennedy assassination, which later many researchers found to be quite curious. This past association between Thornley and Oswald led Garrison to suspect that Thornley was one of a cabal of alphabet soup spooks that created a false history to portray our boy Lee as a commie sympathizer with an itchy trigger finger--in U.S. Intelligence Community parlance known as “sheepdipping.” Garrison contended that the infamous photos of Oswald with a rifle in one hand and a copy of The Daily Worker in the other (as well as www.paranoiamagazine.com

a pistol holstered at his side) had been fabricated by Thornley and other accomplices at Oswald’s empty Dallas apartment after Oswald and his family had moved out. In a second photo, Oswald once again held the rifle along with a copy of The Militant, another leftist magazine. After his arrest, these photos were presented as evidence of his guilt.Oswald insisted that they’d been doctored and claimed he knew how the photographic alterations had been made. Angrily, he charged: “That is not a picture of me; it is my face, but my face has been superimposed—the rest of the picture is not me at all, I’ve never seen it before . . . someone took a picture of my face and faked that photograph.” At the time of Garrison’s JFK investigation circa 1967-68, Thornley adamantly denied allegations that he was one of these notorious Oswald doubles. However, less than a decade later (after ingesting some rather potent LSD),Thornley experienced a epiphany of sorts as buried memories began to surface of his unwitting involvement in a JFK assassination conspiracy. Later, Thornley burrowed down even deeper into this conspiratorial rabbit hole and came to believe that Robert Anton Wilson had been his CIA handler and brainwasher, even claiming that “Wilson was murdered and replaced by a double on orders from Gerald Ford.” As Thornley peered ever deeper into this conspiratorial abyss, an increasingly bizarre picture began to emerge. Thornley arrived at the conclusion that he’d been “wired” or implanted with a mind control device during his service in the Marines. Later, he came to believe that his insidious mind zap had started much earlier, perhaps even before birth, and that he was a product of what he termed a “German breeding experiment”--an experiment that presumably used both him and Oswald as human guinea pigs. He came to suspect that his own parents were Axis spies who had cut a deal with the Nazi occultists conducting eugenics experiments with the ultimate purpose being to create a www.paranoiamagazine.com “Manchurian candidate.” However, Thornley claimed he became “what they call a mutant, because I didn’t turn out to be a racist . . . I wasn’t turning out to be the good Nazi they hoped I would be.” As Thornley told Steamshovel Press editor Kenn Thomas in a 1991 interview: It’s been indicated to me . . . that I am the son of Admiral Donitz*, and this is one of the reasons I’ve been getting all this attention over the years . . . and they refer to Oswald as my “brother,” and your brother is someone who comes from a breeding experiment. I’ve heard him referred to many times in Cant Language as my brother . . . I thought it all started when I met Oswald in the Marines, but the more I’ve investigated, the more I’ve tried to piece it together, the more I’ve realized it had to start earlier than that . . . They weed people out in the breeding experiments. They pick two of them, and they kill one of them . . . they take two of them, and they observe them for a number of years, then they get rid of one of them, and that’s what I think they were doing with me and Oswald. It was during the Retro UFO 1 Convention in 2006 that I first met my good friend and fellow Fortean collaborator, Skylaire Alfvegren. Curiously enough, the following year at Retro UFO 2, I could swear I saw Skylaire once again but was presumably mistaken. (Or perhaps not.) Midway through a lecture by longtime UFO contactee Rev. Robert Short, a young lady— the spitting image of Skylaire—seated herself across the room to take in Rev. Short’s loquacious lecture on contactee lore. A couple times I tried to catch her eye with a nodof the head and lift of the brow “hi,” but to no avail. I then began to question whether or not it was actually Skylaire. . Finally, I caught her eye and she smiled back with recognition, then left the building before Rev. Short‘s lecture concluded. I looked for her outside on the Integratron grounds but she was nowhere to be found. It seemed odd that she would appear/disappear like that without speaking to me. Afterwards, I issue 52 | summer 2012 took a jaunt out to Giant Rock (about a ten minute drive from the Integratron) to down a late afternoon beer amid the towering wonder of that ancient monolith of UFO contactee lore., and on my drive there, bouncing over the everpresent washboards in the road,I saw a car in the distance coming my way, stirring up the requisite desert dust in its passage. Behind it, a wispy plume trailed high in the air. As our cars passed like the requisite ships in the night (it was day, however, albeit late in the day as shadows began to creep along the desert floor), I once again saw Skylaire’s supposed doppelgänger alone behind the wheel of the car, on what covert business I could only imagine. The nature of all these queer doppelgänger incidents was only magnified in 2009 during my attendance of Conspiracy Con 9 in Santa Clara, California. After arriving at the event venue and checking in at the hotel’s front desk, a man in his mid-fifties asked about the whereabouts of some “books.” Having not a clue as to these missing books or who this fellow was, I replied to that effect and he responded with a puzzled look. As his wife appeared at his side, I added, “Maybe my doppelgänger has your books,” which appeared to confuse him even more. His wife giggled: “He means a double,” she explained to him, who I later discovered was none other than Roger Tolces, a speaker at the event known for his expertise in the war against covert mind control weaponry-the developer of electronic equipment that disablesmicrowave mind control harassment devices and the like. Afterwards, I picked up conspiracy researcher and Mothman experiencer Andy Colvin at the San Jose Airport, then returned to the hotel with him. As we were taking out our bags from the back of my truck and shootin’ the breeze, I noticed a peculiar black squirrel scampering across the parking lot--a rarity in California. In fact, it was the first time I had ever seen one of these critters and commented on this to Colvin, who quickly whipped out his iphone and snapped a photo of the peculiar scampering critter. Later, upon closer examination of said paranoia: the conspiracy magazine 7

photo, we noticed across the parking lot behind a tennis court fence, a man dressed in white apparently monitoring our activities. Thereafter, we referred to this shadowy figure as the Man In White (MIW), and much like the infamous MIB’s, we came to suspect that this shadowy MIW might have been surveilling us during our attendance at Conspiracy Con 9. Colvin somehow connected the MIW to the my own elusive doppelganger sighting, although the precise details of Colvin’s thread of logic eludes me at the moment. Colvin, it should be noted, has had his own doppelgänger appearances and in fact has had reports of doppelgängers in every place he has ever lived Says Andy, “I always had people coming up and saying that they had seen or talked to me in some other area of the city where I normally didn’t go, in situations I wouldn’t be in. Sometimes they could pinpoint more about him, like where he worked, but by the time I would hear of this and check it out, he had moved on. A couple of times, the guy had waited on the witnesses at a restaurant. One of those was in Los Angeles . . .(My friend) Harriet saw my doppelgänger in far-flung places like Mexico and Turkey. Those happened in 1999 and 2000 . . . In Austin, TX, where I lived for many years, there was even another ‘Andy Colvin’ who looked exactly like me. The guy actually went by the same name. But I could never find him. The stories were all just vague enough, or came too late, for me to meet my doppelgänger . . .” Footnotes A certified “crackpot historian” and 23rd degree Discordian, Adam Gorightly has been chronicling fringe and conspiracy culture in an illuminating manner for over two decades.

A TRIBUTE TO ZECHARIA SITCHIN PLUS: WHEN THE 12th PLANET RETURNS THE ANSWER YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THE LEGACY OF ZECHARIA SITCHIN, by M. J. Evans, Ph.D. This book is a tribute to the life and work of Zecharia Sitchin, who taught us new ways to think about human origins and the ancient past. By combining translated text with modern scientific knowledge and archaeological discoveries, he pieced together in his books a more complete mosaic of mankind’s shrouded past. He stated the gods were once here and that they will be coming back, believing that mythological stories were not figments of people’s imaginations, but records of events that had actually taken place. M. J. Evans presents in this work an extremely well researched overview of Sitchin’s contributions. She traveled extensively with him, as did Paul Tice , who wrote the Introduction.

Anunnaki Homeworld: Orbital History and 2046 Return of Planet Nibiru, by Jason Breshears. The Anunnaki is a legendary race that appears in our most ancient documents. They are said to inhabit an outermost planet that orbits our sun in an extremely elliptical orbit. Each time this planet gets near to the earth it creates cataclysms and many claim it will return soon. Jason Breshears confidently gives an exact year, due to his extensive research. He delves not only into historical records, as Sitchin had done, but also uses scientific cycles and mathematical formulas that relate to planetary time and orbits. Historical records are chronologically presented and identify cyclical patterns. He also employs advanced geometry, biblical prophecy, and interprets complex crop circle patterns in support of some of the astronomical events he has predicted. He covers only some mythology, focusing more on the actual sciences that can predict their return. ISBN 978-1-58509-134-8 • 8.5 x 11 • perfect bound 162 pgs • $19.95 www.thebooktree.com

9/11 & Israel’s Nexus of Terror by Navid Kahn we’ve never made the case, or argued the case that somehow Osama bin Laden was directly involved in 9/11. That evidence has never been forthcoming.” Even Bin Laden’s profile on the FBI Most Wanted list, until his laughably fake execution in May 2011, never mentioned 9/11 as one of his dastardly deeds. Lost in the endless debates of how--nano-thermite, directed energy weapons, mini-nukes, TV fakery--is the far more important who and why. The fairytale had many incredible highlights. My personal favorite might be Mohammad Atta’s inferno-retardant passport floating down unscathed after the towers fell into the waiting hands of the FBI. Atta, of course, had a busy several days prior to 9/11 aboard Jack Abramoff’s yacht, replete with halal strippers, cocaine, and alcohol--essential ingredients for jihad on foreign land. It is a mind-numbingly painful exercise to disprove the official fairytale of OBL spell out and his band of twenty jihadists, partly because no evidence for the assertion which might be disproved exists, making this is the greatest conspiracy theory ever served up for mass consumption. Afghanistan asked for evidence of bin Laden’s involvement, repeatedly offering to extradite him to the US upon delivery of the evidence. But no such evidence existed. As Cheney remarked in a rare moment of transparency: “So On 9/11, Israeli politicians and “terror experts” like Ehud Barak and Benjamin Netanyahu were interviewed on globally broadcast Zionist Media. Barak, visibly gleeful at the start of the interview, mentioned bin Laden first, thus revealing prior knowledge of the planned antagonist of the fairytale. He recommended a “War on Terror” that would result in invasion and assault on Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, and Libya. Nearly giddy, Netanyahu added, “It’s very good” when asked about the attack. Ehud Olmert, then Prime www.paranoiamagazine.com issue 52 | summer 2012 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine photo: wolliballa In the annals of history, no event has ever been so thoroughly dissected by so many disparate humans as the 9/11/01 Massacre in which thousands were scorched and roasted alive in explosive conflagration. And yet with such unprecedented scrutiny tearing at the carelessly pressed seams of the official conspiracy theory fairytale, it’s a wonder how even a decade after the event, Israel--specifically Israeli Mossad and its extended octopus Zionist terror network—have largely escaped the purview of the overwhelming majority of major researchers. 9

Minister of Israel, flew in on September 10 for a secret undocumented meeting with Guiliani. Then, while ALL planes were grounded on September 11,, an El Al plane with “VIPs” was allowed to fly to Israel. So while fake footage of Palestinians celebrating was broadcast in controlled doses of concentrated hasbara, and while 5 Mossad agents dressed as Palestinians were caught with bomb residue and box cutters in their moving van while celebrating, some of the globe’s more conscientious citizens, loyal to the truth, were wondering, who really did it and why? The day before on September 10, 2001, the Washington Times ran a report from the Army School of Advanced Military Studies which said of the Mossad: “Wildcard. Ruthless and cunning. Has capability to target US forces and make it look like a Palestinian/Arab act.” Also on September 10, 2001, Donald Rumsfeld announced that $2.3 trillionwas ºmissing from the Pentagon’s books. And the head comptroller who controlled the funds? None other than Rabbi Dov Zakheim. It was subsequently revealed that another trillion went missing before his tenure at the Pentagon was over. During this period, Zakheim oversaw a huge military “surplus” deal which sent, among other items, newly minted F15 and F16 fighter jets to Israel at bargain rates. More on Zakheim’s role in 9/11 to come. Prior Knowledge Osama bin Laden was thinking quite small when he was recruited by the CIA to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan in 1979. He had no idea, for example, that he would become the internationally recognized terror overlord blamed for the most destructive attack on American soil in history. He was simply the charismatic figurehead to justify Operation Cyclone. America was providing the funds, the weapons, and the training to the tune of well over half a billion dollars by 1987. Don’t bite the hand that feeds you, right? 10 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine Meanwhile some 1900 miles away in Israel . . . related a slightly different version what Harel had told him: Isser Harel DID know. He was, after all, (1) the architect and father of Israeli intelligence; (2) the founder and first chief of Mossad; (3) the founder and first director of Shin Bet; (4) a leader of the Haganah terror outfit that viciously slaughtered innocent Palestinians and British during the mandate period of Palestine. Harel was also the top intelligence official implicated in the fallout from Operation Sussanah, in which American and British targets in Egypt were firebombed in a false flag attack in 1954. A subordinate, Pinhas Lavon, was scapegoated in what is now known as the Lavon Affair. As we can see, Isser Harel’s resume speaks for itself. My last question was would terrorism ever come to America. You have the power to fight it, he said, but not the will. They have the will, but not the power. All of that will change in time. Yes, I fear it will come to New York and your tallest building, which is a symbol of your fertility. In a September 23, 1979 interview with crypto-Jew Michael D. Evans, Isser Harel gave chilling, prescient details of the ghastly plot of the Islamic terrorists blamed for 9/11 almost as if the script was laid out before him . . . And he was the author. A few weeks after 9/11, on September 30, 2001 in an editorial published in the Jerusalem Post entitled, “America the Target”, Evans recalled speaking with the Israeli prophet of doom: I sat with former Mossad chief Isser Harel for a conversation about Arab terrorism. As he handed me a cup of hot tea and a plate of cookies, I asked him, “Do you think terrorism will come to America, and if so, where and why?” Harel looked at his American visitor and replied, “I fear it will come to you in America. America has the power, but not the will, to fight terrorism. The terrorists have the will, but not the power, to fight America - but all that could change with time. Arab oil money buys more than tents.” As to the where, Harel continued, “New York City is the symbol of freedom and capitalism. It’s likely they will strike the Empire State Building, your tallest building [he mistakenly thought] and a symbol of your power.” Elsewhere in an editorial raging against Jimmy Carter, lately a favorite target of Jewish supremacists, Evans issue 52 | summer 2012 In a 2004 interview with Deborah Caldwell, Evans again recalled the prophecy: He told me that America had developed an alliance between two countries, Israel and Saudi Arabia, and that the alliance with Saudi Arabia was dangerous and would develop a tolerance for terror among Americans. He said if the tolerance continued that Islamic fundamentalists would ultimately strike America. I said, “Where?” He said, “In Islamic theology, the phallic symbol is very important. Your biggest phallic symbol is New York City and your tallest building will be the phallic symbol they will hit.” Isser Harel prophesied that the tallest building in New York would be the first building hit by Islamic fundamentalists 21 years ago. Let’s ignore the fact that this prophet of doom, Isser Harel, made some rather obvious blunders in his deceptive assessment of Islamic theology in which phallic and fertility symbols are non-existent. Let’s also ignore the fact that phallic and fertility symbols hold excessive significance in the Kabbalah or Jewish mysticism, and are found littered throughout Freemasonic architecture, notably in the Rothschildconstructed Israeli Supreme Court Building.How did Harel come to know the intimate details of the fundamentalist jihadist psyche, so much so that he could derive a vivid prophecy relating to a cataclysmic event with global reverberations decades later? We trust the judgment of the reader to draw conclusions.. Odigo Forewarned Israelis to Stay Away Hours Before the Attack Odigo was founded by Avner and Maskit Ronen and later acquired by Israeli fraudster fugitive Kobi Alwww.paranoiamagazine.com

exander’s Comverse, the biggest of many Israeli spy companies embedded in America’s surveillance infrastructure. Israeli-owned Odigo instant messaging service based in Herzliya, Israel had an office less than three blocks from the WTC complex. Odigo publicly claimed that at least two of its workers received text messages warning them of the impending 9/11 attack hours ahead of time. The message was specific and precise. Alex Diamandis, vice president of Odigo, said, “The messages said something big was going to happen in a certain amount of time, and it did – almost to the minute.” Four thousand Israelis were expected at the World Trade Center on 9/11, according to the Israeli foreign ministry and the Jerusalem Post. None of them showed up to work. One Israeli allegedly died at the WTC on 9/11, a passenger on a plane. David Frum, Bush’s Zionist speechwriter, however, inflated the number of Israeli dead to 130 and made sure Bush mentioned it. Alon Pinkas, Israel’s consul general in New York, openly refuted this Masonic figure. The passenger on the plane? Allegedly Daniel Lewin, an elite assassin and “counter-terrorism” and hijacking expert of Sayaret Matkal, secret Israeli military intelligence. Nothing weird about that at all. complex. Odigo, widely used in Israel, later refused to give more details that would assist with an investigation saying through a spokesman in the Washington Post on 9/28/01, “Providing more details would only lead to more conjecture.” Lost in the endless debates of how... is the far more important who and why. How convenient. The enraged American public was deceived into venting anger and frustration by killing innocent Muslims, Sikhs, and other brown people in the wake of 9/11. Somehow, still, Odigo has been allowed to withhold pertinent information that could lead to the real suspects who knew details of the attack and warned some who incidentally didn’t warn others. This simple act of treason by Odigo and dualcitizens led to the deaths of 3,000 on 9/11 and millions more in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan in the endless War on Terror it spawned. 5 Dancing Mossad Agents after being taken into custody, they were rescued by fellow agent and dual citizen Israeli Michael Chertoff, then released from custody and sent to Israel on minor visa violations. Back in Israel in November 2001, three of the agents minus the Kurzburg brothers appeared on an Israeli television show.Speaking on behalf of the crew, Oded Ellner said, “Our purpose was to document the event.”Based on this confession, Mossad at the very least knew of the attacks and didn’t warn the local authorities, but rather celebrated the event with despicable glee. This direct admission of specific prior knowledge has gone largely unreported in the Zionist-controlled media. Neither the five Mossad agents nor their benefactor Dominic Suter have been extradited to the U.S. to face further interrogation or trial. In a separate incident on 9/11, two other Israelis were caught fleeing in another Urban Moving Systems vanfilled with explosives near the George Washington Bridge. On the side of the van was a creepy and sinister mural of the smoking Twin Towers with an airplane about to crash into them. The van exploded after the suspects were apprehended. After the initial reports there has been no follow up investigation regarding this bizarre event. Art Students So who was the message sent to? Odigo allows messages to be sent to anyone filtered by many different categories, including nationality. It has become apparent that these messages were sent in Hebrew to Israeli citizens working at or near the WTC On 9/11, eyewitnesses reported that they saw “Middle Eastern” men “dancing and celebrating” across the river in New Jersey as the Towers were engulfed in flames. Officials were alerted and the men questioned and subsequently arrested. Explosive residue, box-cutters, and Arab clothing were found in the moving van they were using, registered under Urban Moving Systems later discovered to be a Mossad front company managed by Israeli Dominic Suter. The arrested men--Yaron Shmuel, Omer Marmari, Sivan and Paul Kurzberg, and Oded Ellner--were all Mossad agents. In the months that followed, they refused lie-detector tests and were repeatedly questioned about their involvement. Less than 10 weeks In addition to the five dancing Mossad agents, an entire army of some 200 Israeli agents posing as art students flooded governmental buildings in the greatest spy scandal ever in American history. The agent posing as artist model was invented and popularized by infamous Mossad superspy Peter Malkin, also implicated in planning 9/11. These spies set up surveillance at the DEA, defense companies, and over forty federal buildings, including over thirty sites of the Department of Defense (DOD). They even approached federal officials in their home. The DEA published a 61-page report on the Israeli spies detailing over 175 separate www.paranoiamagazine.com issue 52 | summer 2012 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine 11

incidents in what the DEA described as “intelligence gathering” activities. The 200 “art students” spy scandal was elaborately exposed by Carl Cameron of Fox News in late 2001. It was revealed in this incisive 4-part series that many of the Israeli spies were Israeli army veterans with “explosives expertise” as well as active ranking and counter-intelligence with a variety of specialties. While many of these spies were arrested in connection with 9/11, an FBI official told Cameron that “Evidence linking these Israelis to 9-11 is classified. I cannot tell you about the evidence that has been gathered. It is classified information.” Since this time, Fox News has deleted any links to the story and all transcripts of the 4-part series. More Israeli Foreknowledge ZIM, an Israeli state-owned shipping company with a 10,000 square foot office in the North Tower of the World Trade Center, vacated its offices on short notice one week prior to 9/11, a move that broke their lease and made them forfeit the $50,000 security deposit. No one was questioned about this sudden move subsequently and it has been quietly forgotten and ignored. Zelikow’s 1998 Article Philip Zelikow, another Zionist prophetunrelenting in his support of Israel, penned an article for Foreign Affairs in 1998 entitled “Catastrophic Terrorism: Imagining the Transformative Event.” Zelikow envisioned an act of terrorism which could involve loss of life and property unprecedented in peacetime and undermine America’s fundamental sense of security as did the Soviet atomic bomb test in 1949. The United States might respond with draconian measures, scaling back civil liberties, allowing wider surveillance of citizens, detention of suspects and use of deadly force. More violence could follow, either further terrorist attacks or US counterattacks. Belatedly, Americans would judge their leaders negligent for not addressing terrorism more urgentl. 12 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine How’s That for a Prophecy? Zelikow’s elite role in the presentation of 9/11 didn’t end there. After NWO architect Henry Kissinger passed on it, Zelikow was “appointed” Executive Director of the 9/11 Commission that published theelaborate propaganda known as the 9/11 Commission Report. Questions raised by the non-investigation and other theatric anomalies--most notably the 11 living hijackers and free fall collapse of building 7, the most galvanizing evidence used by the 9/11 Truth Movement—were not addressed. Aiding the 9/11 Commission’s cover-up was the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), specifically Stephen Cauffman, yet another Zionist, who became NIST’s lead investigator of the collapse and was the primary author of a nonsensical paper that whitewashedin excruciating detail the impossible free-fall collapse due to fires. Building 7, many researchers will recall, had a treasure trove of secrets implicating AIG, Lehman’s Brothers, and other firms in not only 9/11 but also the financial collapse and subsequent recession. Clean Break/PNAC The 1996 Clean Break document was made up entirely of highly influential Zionist Jews and Israeli dual citizens like Douglas Feith, David Wurmser, and Richard Perle, the leader. The purpose of the document was to chart a new policy and course of action for the rabid Likud government of Benjamin Netanyahu. It strongly advocated the invasion of Lebanon and Iraq, the removal of Saddam Hussein, and antagonistic actions against Iran and Syria, all of which have subsequently come to pass. Formed in 1997 by ber-Zionists William Kristol and Robert Kagan, the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) operated as an aggressive and hugely influential foreign policy think tank. The membership was composed of overwhelmingly militarized Zionists with bulging political muscle,includingRichard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, Eliot Cohen, Lewis Libby, issue 52 | summer 2012 and the author of “Rebuilding America’s Defenses (RAD)”and probable high-level 9/11 architect Rabbi Dov Zakheim. In the 2000 RAD document, in addition to prophesizing multiple simultaneous wars, Rabbi Dov Zakheim makes a suspicious reference to Pearl Harbor as if he is clamoring for it: “the process of transformation is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic catalyzing event — like a New Pearl Harbor.” United 93 United 93 is one of several Hollywood blockbusters that exploited the suffering of 9/11 to make money and reiterate the public fairytale. United 93 was entirely created and produced by Zionist opportunists cashing in on the carnage and collective catharsis: Kate Solomon, Lloyd Levin, Paul Greengrass, Eric Fellner, Liza Chasin, Michael Bronner, among others. No Justice for 9/11 Victim Families Immediately after the attacks, families of the 9/11 victims sought redress. Enter Kenneth Feinberg, a highly celebrated and dedicated Zionist extremist devoted to Israel who was appointed master of a huge $7 billion taxpayer-funded Victims Compensation Fund. Estimates put the total settlement amount at less than $3.5 billion total for all the victims. Due to the lack of oversight, it’s anyone’s guess where the rest of the tax dollars have gone. (Feinberg was also appointed key cleanup man for the BP oil spill aggressively trying to strip plaintiffs of legal representation by shrewdly leveraging the power of his dollar coffers.) Ellen Mariani, a brave and fiery widow and 9/11 plaintiff, included him in her lawsuit that was eventually forcibly settled. Feinberg’s inclusion was partially related to his success in bribing Mariani’s attorney to try to coerce his client to accept the fund’s payout and convince her that she was clinically insane. Feinberg has been the money-waving head coverup artist of many government and corporate crimes (Agent Orange, www.paranoiamagazine.com

9/11, the Virginia Tech Shooter scandal, BP Oil spill, etc.). For the 96 families who initially chose to forgo the fund in favor of a transparent trial, Sheila Birnbaum was appointed special mediator between Hellerstein and the victims’ families. Birnbaum, another dedicated Zionist lawyer at the Israeli Skadden Arps, effectively railroaded these brave families and forced them all to settle. Skadden Arps introduces itself with the following on its website: Many of our attorneys are thoroughly familiar with the legal structure, business environment and political system of Israel, and several (including at the partner level) are Israeli-born, native Hebrew speakers who have been admitted to the bars of both Israel and New York. A number of our lawyers volunteer a significant amount of their time to Jewish and Israeli causes, including the America-Israel Friendship League, the Anti-Defamation League, the College of Management, the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, Elem, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, The Jerusalem Foundation and Miklat. Alvin K Hellerstein and Michael Mukasey have been the Israeliconnected Talmudic tag-team of NY federal judges that have dominated 9/11 related litigation and prevented all cases from the victims’ families from being heard in court. Israel Ehud Olmert (mentioned earlier). Olmert made a secret trip to meet with then-mayor of New York City Rudy Guiliani on the eve of 9/11, apparently to oversee their plot, and yethe and other Israeli officials were allowed to leave the U.S. aboard an El Al plane when all other planes were grounded. ICTS was implicated in the 7/7/2005 bombings in London as well. Hellerstein and Mukasey happened to attend the same Orthodox, Zionist, Kehilath Jeshrun synagogue in Manhattan that openly states it is “deeply committed to the State of Israel and its citizens.” How would Americans feel if Pakistani jihadists, at the behest of Pakistan, were implicated in 9/11 and two Pakistani jihadist judges who attended the same “radical” mosque were blocking trials for the victims’ families pursuing legal discovery in a wrongful death suit against an airline security connected to one of the aforementioned judges? Hellerstein recently effectively blocked the last victim’s family, the Bavises, from ever having their day in court against the government and airport security; instead, he forced them to settle out of court after a decade of dedicated gatekeeping. His callous dismissal of the 96 families of victims of 9/11 will live in infamy: “We have to get past 9/11. Let it go. Life is beautiful. Life is short. Live out your years. Take the award.” Both father and son Hellerstein also worked for Stroock, Stroock, and Lavan, a Rothschild-funded law firm which, incidentally, represented Larry Silverstein in his bid to lease the towers. How many conflicts of interests can you count? the trial, given his severe bias towards the state of Israel. Mukasey, who had not permitted Rahman to choose his attorney and prevented him from his due process by denying him the right to have an expert witness explain Islam to the ignorant jury, curtly refused this motion from the defendant. After his sentencing, Rahman, among other anomalies and inconsistencies of the prosecution, patiently explained that it was impossible for him to form a terrorist group while being incarcerated thousands of miles away during its creation. As the Sheikh painstakingly debunked the fraudulent proceedings of the trial, Mukasey repeatedly and rudely interrupted him.. In the 9/11 attacks, Mukasey’s role was multifaceted. He oversaw the detained witnesses and suspects, including the five dancing Israeli Mossad agents, at the behest of then-Assistant Attorney General at the Department of Justice Michael Chertoff, the son of a founding member of the Mossad. Mukasey’s greatest contribution to 9/11, however, might have been his judgment in the case of Larry Silverstein, owner of the lease of the WTC complex, against his insurance company:e judged that the two towers were separate instances of terrorism and as such awarded double the insurance settlement to the tune of $4.6 billion. More on Silverstein later. ICTS is owned by two Israelis, Ezra Harel and Menachem Atzmon. Atzmon was convicted in Israel of fraud with partner and mayor of Jerusalem and later prime minister of Michael Mukasey along with Michael Chertoff, both key suspects in the 9/11 coverup, also worked hand in glove in the first false flag bombing of the WTC in 1993. Chertoff was the lead prosecutor and Mukasey the judge presiding over the fraudulent trial of the “Blind Sheikh,” Omar Abdel Rahman. At the beginning of the trial, Rahman asked Mukasey to remove himself from As a founding Mossad agent, Chertoff’s mother was directly responsible for the non-investigation and prosecution of the 9/11 massacre. Chertoff was also the dominant author of the Patriot Act that severely curtailed civil liberties and was written well before 9/11 and edited hours before it was presented for a vote to ensure ICTS and other Israeli-connected firms would be immune from prosecution. Chertoff rounded up innocent Arabs and Muslims to solidify the “Islamic terrorist” theatrics and let the Mossad agent suspects and Israeli art student spies go back to Israel. In addition, The Chertoff Group made millions off electronic body scanners in airports that had been constructed well in advance of the Christmas Day “underwear bombing” false flag fiasco in 2009. www.paranoiamagazine.com issue 52 | summer 2012 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine Judge Hellerstein is tied to 9/11 directly as head gatekeeper on all 9/11 litigation, namely preventing legal discovery and wrongful death and personal injury lawsuits from trial. He is also intimately connected to other key Israeli players of the 9/11 massacre on multiple layers through his son Joseph who worked for the Israeli law firm Amit, Pollack and Matalon that represented ICTS, the Israeli firm implicated in the attacks via passenger screening and airline security at Newark, Boston Logan, and Dulles, the departure sites of the hijacked aircraft. 1993 WTC Bombing & 9/11: The Two Michaels 13

Incidentally, Michael Chertoff’s cousin Benjamin Chertoff wrote the Popular Mechanics hit piece against the 9/11 Truth Movement called “Debunking 9/11 Lies.” Another more pernicious attempt at a coverup was advocated by a celebrated Zionist high in Obama’s administration: Cass Sunstein of the University of Chicago and Harvard University. Sunstein wrote a paper “Conspiracies: Causes and Cures” in which he advocates the “cognitive” infiltration of 9/11 activist groups and dissemination of propaganda to derail their efforts. He makes it very clear that these “conspiracy theories” are dangerous, especially the “anti-semitic” ones. Barak & SPC Partners Professor Steven Jones of Brigham Young University shocked the world when he announced his discovery of super-thermite in the remains of 14 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine the Towers.The molten metal in the basement weeks after the towers fell, the free fall speed of collapse, and Silverstein’s own admission were evidence of controlled demolition, but the discovery of super-thermite sealed the deal. Codified in a 2009, 25-page peer-reviewed scientific paper, “Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe,” evidence of nano-thermite or “super-thermite” extracted from the dust samples of the towers remains has been bared for the world to see. This paper proves beyond any doubt that a rare, highly sophisticated form of explosive utilizing nano-thermite was applied to WTC North, South, and Building 7. In all likelihood, it was applied to the Towers as a spray. Ehud Barak may have known the entire script in the aftermath of 9/11 for good reason: he was involved at the highest architectural level in planning and carrying out at the attack. In 2001, Ehud Barak was working for SPC partners, a venture capital firm with two companies capable of producing nanocomposite explosives like super-therissue 52 | summer 2012 mite. and sharing a corporate address in Wayne, Pennsylvania. Advanced Metallurgical Group owned several subsidiaries, some that manufactured coatings of nano-composites and one that specialized in atomized aluminum, a critically important component of nano-thermite. AMG and Metallurg Holdings are under the umbrella of Safeguard International, a management subsidiary of SPC Partners Private Equity LLC. All four share the same address (435 Devon Park Drive, Wayne, Pennsylvania). But who applied the spray paint nano-thermite composite explosives to the Towers? None other than LVI Services, owned and managed by Zionist Burton Fried. LVI is one of the leading demolition companies in the U.S. Overtly, they were doing ‘asbestos abatement’ work in the Twin Towers in the months leading up to 9/11. When contacted after 9/11 about this “coincidence,” Fried was indignant and denied it, although it was widely reported through an organ affiliate of LVI, the Engineering News Review, on September 13, 2001. www.paranoiamagazine.com photo: mrktwain (ICTS ran the security at the Schiphol Amsterdam airport where the flight on that Christmas Day originated.) Problem. Reaction. Solution.

Towers: Security, Privatization, Demolition, Insurance 1987 Blueprint Acquisition A sophisticated, coordinated, and pre-meditated attack like 9/11 requires years, maybe even decades of planning. So fast backward a little bit. Remember Isser Harel and his prophecy in 1979? Isser Harel worked very closely with Mossad superspy Peter Malkin and Avraham Bendor. Bendor, who eventually succeeded Harel on the throne of Shin Bet, was more a pupil under Harel’s tutelage. After a highly publicized fallout from the execution of Palestinian hijackers, Bendor stepped down from Shin Bet in 1986. In 1987, Harel’s apprentices Bendor and Malkin, formed a fake company called Atwell Security as a subsidiary of Eisenberg Group under notorious multi-billionaire Israeli arms dealer and drug runner Shaul Eisenberg. Armed with this Israeli intelligence muscle, they found a warm friend in Zionist Stephen Berger, executive director of the New York Port Authority who gave Atwell the contract for security at the World Trade Center. The deal was ultimately scrapped but was in place long enough to obtain intelligence and blueprints on the structure of WTC for Mossad to carry out the future attacks. privatize the Stewart Air Force Base in New Windsor, New York into the hands of another Zionist, William Rollason, and his National Express Group. In a chilling “coincidence,” the flight paths of both the planes that struck the Towers, Flights 175 and11, converged and crossed at Stewart Air Force Base at the exact same time. In all likelihood, neither had passengers aboard but landed at Stewart as a safe Zionistsympathetic final checkpoint before being sent on their deadly missions. Using his power and influence, Lauder then also introduced and aggressively pushed the novel concept of privatizing the WTC complex to the Port Authority where chairman Lewis Eisenberg waited--shining star of fundraising for the Zionist state who personally negotiated and administered the deal that landed the WTC complex in the hands of Larry Silverstein and Frank Lowy. To recap, Isser Harel, Israeli father of intelligence and prophet of doom, predicts an “Islamic” attack on WTC in 1979. His pupils Bendor and Malkin obtain the blueprints to the complex in 1987. In 1993 come the preliminary attacks, and in 2001 figures closely tied to Israeli intelligence acquire the Towers, they’re pulverized, and the endless “War on Terror” that Israel salivates for and solely benefits from commences. Silverstein, super-Zionist UJA board member, and Frank Lowy, exHaganah terrorist, both multi-million billionaires with close ties to the state of Israel, acquired the WTC leasein late July of 2001, scarcely six weeks before the attack, thanks to Lauder and Eisenberg. All four of these men had personal friendships and relations with Benjamin Netanyahu and Ehud Barak, leaders of the Israeli government and 9/11 suspects. Silverstein had conversations with Netanyahu every Sunday. Immediately after the Towers were in his hands, Silverstein took out a $3.5 billion anti-terrorism insurance policy with a consortium of insurers. After the Towers fell, Michael Mukasey--who played a critical role in sending the Mossad agents arrested on 9/11 to Israel--made sure Silverstein was awarded a payout on two separate attacks to the tune of $7 billion. Not a bad profit margin on the deaths of 3,000 people. Ronald Lauder, Israeli billionaire of Estee Lauder fame who built The Lauder School of Government, Diplomacy and Strategy as a training base for the Mossad in Herzliya, was chairman of both the New York State Commission of Privatization and the New York State Research Council on Privatization. In 2000, Lauder helped Between the end of August and 9/11, a group of Israeli financial parasites placed put options on several companies directly impacted by 9/11, including American and United Airlines and Swiss and Munich Re insurance involved in the payout to Silverstein. In the two days of Sept 6-7, 2001, over 4,700 put options were placed on www.paranoiamagazine.com issue 52 | summer 2012 United;on Sept 10, another 4,500 were placed American Airlines. After 9/11, holdings in these companies plummeted and these Israelis made millions. These “speculators” still have not been investigated by the SEC, let alone the FBI or DHS. Destruction of Evidence Soon after 9/11, uber-Zionist Michael Bloomberg became mayor of NYC, having defrauded the Exchange with his very own put option scam and now with the tasks of covering up billionaire Zionist Maurice Greenberg’s put option scam through Bear Stearns and awarding clean up duties to fellow Zionist Alan Ratner’s Metal Management. Ratner was able to “purchase” the remains of incinerated humans mixed with the pulverized dust and mangled steel from the Towers at $70 a ton, then sold 50,000 tons for over 80% profit to China at $120 a ton. Ratner further subcontracted the collection of remains to yet another Israeli, Yoram Shalmon of PowerLoc Technologies. Shalmon sent a fleet of about 200 trucks to ground zero to gather the remains and bring them to Ratner’s Metal Management scrap yard. Suspiciously fearful of evidence accidentally falling off the trucks, Shalmon had the trucks equipped with his $1,000 VLD (vehicle location device) GPS tracking system and watched religiously from a control room in real time. When one of the truck drivers took a little too long at lunch on his way to the scrap yard, Shalmon fired him. In an interview with Jacqueline Emigh of securitysolutions.org, he revealed his thoughts: “Ninety-nine percent of the drivers were extremely driven to do their jobs. But there were big concerns, because the loads consisted of highly sensitive material. One driver, for example, took an extended lunch break of an hour and a half. There was nothing criminal about that, but he was dismissed.” Why would “highly sensitive material” from the worst terrorist act on American soil be sent to China to be destroyed, andby Israelis, the group overwhelmingly implicated in the attack? paranoia: the conspiracy magazine 15

9/11 as a Computer Crime The 9/11 Massacre wouldn’t have been possible without criminal negligence by the FAA and the domestic security apparatus. As widely reported, there were multiple war games and drills planned on that fateful day in near identical parallels to the actual events. Even still, if the computer network infrastructure had not been sabotaged, many lives could have been saved. Unfortunately, the interoperability between the networks was infiltrated via PTech and MITRE. Ptech, a supposed Saudi and Lebanese software company, curiously managed to get their software with a unique backdoor “superuser” capacity to override commands onto almost every governmental agency’s computer networks:FAA, the White House, CIA, FBI, NORAD, US Armed Forces, NATO, and the Secret Service. If this was truly a Saudi plot, it would have been publicly unraveled for mass consumption. Instead, it has quietly faded into the background? Why? Michael Goff, a Zionist lawyer who worked a comfy job at Sedar and Chandler, quit his position to direct marketing for this sketchy Lebanese/ Saudi software start-up and installed the software on the most secure computer networks. (It’s worth noting that Goff comes from a line of 32nd degree Bnai Brith Jjewish) Freemasons.) After Ptech accomplished its purpose, Goff left to work for other Israeli, Mossadlinked cyber security firms, most notably Amit Yoran’s Guardium, financed by Mossad funding operations such as Veritas Venture Partners, Cedar Fund, and StageOne. MITRE was the other company subject to intense scrutiny by 9/11 researchers. MITRE was in the FAA basement with PTech working on inter-operability issues with NORAD and the US Air Force. If there computer systems were hijacked remotely and commands overridden and critical information hidden to prevent communication, Ptech and MITRE were the biggest culprits. MITRE’s chairman was Zionist James Schlesinger whose resume includes stints as Director 16 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine of the CIA and Secretary of State. Schlesinger’s father IS THERE MORE HERE? Mastermind Zakheim Rabbi Dov Zakheim, author of “Rebuilding America’s Defenses,” the PNAC paper calling for a “new Pearl Harbor” to speed up the “process of transformation” of American foreign policy, was put in charge of a team of comptrollers researching where $2.3 trillion had “disappeared” to just months before 9/11. After the smoke cleared in the Pentagon on September 11, most of those researching the missing money were found dead, more than half being “civilian accountants, bookkeepers, and budget analysts,” precisely the folks who would have investigated the missing trillions. years leading up to 9/11. SPC patented a remote control technology called Flight Termination System (FTS) that would allow an airborne plane to be controlled from the ground. Ostensibly, this would be used to hijack a hijacked plane and land it safely. The more sinister and obvious application is to hijack a plane from the ground and fly it into a desired target. Indeed, Flight 11 flew directly into the Marsh/McLennan/Kroll computer room in the North Tower. The technology was perfected long before 9/11 despite repeated denials by government officials, including President Bush himself. Numerous published reports of jumbo jets flying unmanned dotted the media in the months leading up to 9/11. If this was truly a Saudi plot, it would have been publicly unraveled for mass consumption. Instead, it has quietly faded into the background? Why? Interestingly enough, then-Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld and Zakheim held a press conference on September 10,revealing that they simply had no idea where the money went. It was later discovered that a majority of the funds were used to secure brand new, state-of-theart fighter jets and armaments for the Israeli military at conspicuously low prices. Before Zakheim left the Pentagon, the sum unaccounted for ballooned to $3.3 trillion. Zakheim was also CEO of Systems Planning Corporation for the four issue 52 | summer 2012 As an interesting aside, Zakheim was featured prominently in the 1993 bombing of the WTC when his Tridata subsidiary was put in charge of the investigation. Emad Salem and Ahmad Ajaj were the FBI informants and Israeli moles that expedited the “Arab-terrorist” narrative for the first attack on the WTC. Other ancillary evidence of Rabbi Zakheim’s involvement includes a pre-9/11 agreement between Boeing and the Pentagon. Many 9/11 researchers have confirmed that Boeing 767 tankers were used on the Towers. Under the lease agreement, 32 Boeing 767s tankers replaced KC-135s outfitted with Zakheim’s FTS technology.

images of flight 175 slamming into the South Tower, the FTS pod beneath the fuselage is visible. Who Killed John O’Neill? is a documentary that has been floating the Interweb memosphere for quite a while now. It details FBI counter-terrorism Chief John O’Neill’s investigation of bin Laden’s financial trail. Repeatedly, O’Neill’s investigations were stonewalled as he made startling revelations that dismantled core public myths of bin Laden’s supposed exploits. Then his investigation into the USS Cole bombing, attributed to Bin Laden, brought the hammer down from Secretary of State Zionist Madeline Albright and Barbara Bodine, the Zionist ambassador to Yemen who allegedly “hated his guts.” O’Neill, highly respected among his colleagues, immediately suspected Israel in the USS Cole bombing when an ex-CIA agent corroborated that the explosion was consistent with a Popeye cruise missile from an Israeli Dolphinclass submarine. When he was repeatedly blocked from re-entering Yemen by Bodine, O’Neill resigned from the FBI in August 2001. Thus the official tale of bin Laden continued spinning unhindered. served as major roadblocks to coverups of the 9/11/2001 and 11/26/2008 false flag operations. Hauer was also responsible for placing the NYPD Office of Emergency Management (OEM) inside WTC7 and demolishing it later that evening to bury CIA insider trading secrets as well as evidence of a gamut of financial crime. Arnon Milchan – Wildcard Liaison Israeli agent Milchan is widely recognized in Hollywood circles as a producer and staunch supporter of Israel who is connected to celebrities, politicians, policy makers, and a myriad of other shades of grey. One of Milchan’s “best friends” is Rupert “Mordechai” Murdoch, owner of Fox that ran the pilot episode of “The Lone Gunman” in March 2001 with an eerie scene of a plane about to crash into the World Trade Center. was in place, the pipeline’s construction could commence. Maiman is well connected to other key 9/11 conspirators like Ronald Lauder, Arnon Milchan, and Eytan Barak, director of ICTS, through numerous companies that he chairs: Ampal-American Israel Corporation, Israel’s Channel 10, Eltek Ltd, and Milchan Brothers Ltd. Why didn’t we know about this? Israel and Zionism are the central hubs that tie in the highest-level conspirators of the 9/11 Massacre to a coherent agenda. It’s impossible to ignore that all others accused of a role in the attack have no overarching umbrella organization they are all connected to;outside of individual benefits, no other entity or ideology benefits besides Israel and Zionism. O’Neill’s murder is very similar to that of Hemant Kerkare, the anti-terror chief in India assassinated military style as the Mossad-orchestrated Mumbai attacks of late 2008 commenced. Both O’Neill and Kerkare were honest individuals with credentials and respect as well as a strict code of integrity as lead investigators; they would have One of the main purposes behind the occupation of Afghanistan--outside of the global heroin and opium trade-was to create the TAPI pipeline that would sell trillions of dollars of Israeliowned gas to Pakistan and energystarved India. In order to construct the massive 1,000-mile pipeline, the Taliban leadership had to be coerced after negotiations regarding the pipeline died down a few months before 9/11. This project was undertaken by the Merhav Group and its Mossad asset CEO, Israeli Yosef Maiman, who employs the former head of the Mossad, Shabtai Shavit. Once the occupation Even movies purporting to expose an “inside job” of 9/11 either shy away from the explosive and unavoidable Israeli role or willfully obscure it. Take Loose Change. The three Jewish boys who produced the film--Dylan Avery, Corey Rowe, and Jason Bermas-- were treated with respect and adoration for their adventure by the mainstream Zionist media and given a platform to spread their message, evento getting their film into theatres. It is easily the most widely consumed 9/11-conspiracy film. Unfortunately,Loose Change avoids and hides the Israeli and Zionist connection, preferring instead a smokescreen of secret societies and nebulous associations.PNAC members are shown, along with dominant Israeli dual citizens, then fade into the background while others with no major role in the attacks are highlighted. In interviews, the trio behind Loose Change attempt to whitewash Israeli priorknowledge by suggesting they were simply warning the negligent US government of the plot. Perhaps it is no small coincidence then that billionaire Zionist Deborah Simon is appreciated for her contributions in the credits:her father-in-law Mel Simon did business with Frank Lowy and Larry Silverstein, the duo that leased the towers and www.paranoiamagazine.com issue 52 | summer 2012 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine Fed up with the FBI, he was offered a job byZionist champion fundraiser Jerome Hauer. Hauer, connected to the anthrax and West Nile virus scares, was the managing director of the security company controlling the Towers, Kroll Inc. By “rescuing” O’Neill’s career with the head of security job at the WTC complex, Hauer ended his life on 9/11 after less than three weeks on the job, an appointment for which Hauer was conspicuously absent on that fateful Tuesday but then became very busy on 9/11 with interviews about bin Laden’s role, how the Towers fell from structural weakening due to fires, etc. . Milchan had kept the idea close among his closest allies--the highest echelons in the Israeli political, military, and intelligence hierarchy-- ever since his first big film in 1978, The Medusa Touch, depicting a remote controlled aircraft crashing and exploding into a skyscraper. Russian Jewish billionaire Lew Grade bought its rights before the idea was even fully conceived. Remember, this is around the same time that Isser Harel made his prophecy of “Islamic” terrorists attacking the tallest building in NYC. Why Afghanistan? 17

made billions from its demolition. Is she a renegade who married into a billionaire family? Probably not. Conclusion You don’t have to take our word for it. With 9/11, all roads lead to the same place. Hamid Gul, former ISI director, agrees. So does Francesco Cossiga, the former Italian president, who said regarding 9/11, “[The intelligencia] know well that the disastrous attack was planned and realized by the American CIA and Mossad with the help of the Zionist world to put under accusation the Arabic countries and to persuade the Western powers to intervene in Iraq and Afghanistan.” Cossiga is not alone. Former director of the Army War College Dr. Alan Sabrosky also accepts the Israeli-manufactured false flag thesis. This credentialed veteran has defended his views in numerous discussions and interviews and is highly respected among his former colleagues. Other notable individuals are joining the fold every day as the last taboo of 9/11, the open dissection of Israeli involvement, loudly comes crashing down as the ADL tries feverishly to silence it. 2012: Chicago and London? Sinister signs indicate that the diabolical architects of 9/11 have a few more tricks up their sleeve. As most of the top brass of our military industrial complex have repeatedly reiterated, the inevitability of “another 9/11” is a foregone conclusion.Even former vice president Dick Cheney and former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld have said that it’s not a matter of “if” but of “when.” Rather like 2001, the year 2012 has occultic, esoteric, and kabbalistic significance.Chicago, a Zionist stronghold with a new Mossad asset Mayor Rahm Emanuel and significant to the re-election of the hero Obama, could be the next New York City.Eerie drills similar to those up to and on 9/11 with mock tragedies of mass fatalities coordinated with the full gamut of federal governmental organizations . . .

Searching for James Shelby Downard by Dr. Richard Spence Anyone who has dipped a foot into the murky waters of conspiracy theory has more than likely encountered a reference to James Shelby Downard. In a realm where the bizarro-meter is usually set pretty high, Downard goes to straight to “11.” For the uninitiated, suffice it to say that Downard’s writings, most notably his autobiographical The Carnivals of Life and Death (hereafter, Carnivals), purport to unveil a nightmarish nexus of Masonic Sorcery, mystical toponomy, Call to Chaos sexual depravity and the Eternal Pagan Psycho-Drama lurking just beneath the surface of simple, homespun American reality.1 If Downard’s world was a movie, it could only be directed by David Lynch. It’s easy, and comforting, to dismiss James Shelby Downard as a charlatan or a nut or some amalgam of both. His claims and stories are often so improbable, or just ludicrously absurd, that one is stunned as much by their audacity as their improbability. I’ll confess that Carnivals was probably the only book I’ve actually thrown against a wall out of sheer disgust that anyone would expect me to swallow such a pile of horseshit. Yet I always picked it up again. Maybe I was hoping he would reveal that it was all a bad dream, but mostly it was just weirdly fascinating, and more than a little disturbing: a bad acid-trip blend of Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland. But I’ll also confess that Downard awakened dim memories of things in my own hometown that I’d heard my parents and grandparents whisper about. As crazy as Downard seemed, I was left with the nagging question: how much of what he said or hinted at could be true? What is undeniable is that Downard’s writings are larded with real people, places, and events that fall well outside the realm of common knowledge. If Downard was crazy, he was a knowledgeable crazy. Some have argued that James Shelby Downard never existed, that he is a literary hoax concocted to advance some 20 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine peculiar agenda,2 and at first glance there does seem reason to wonder. An actual record of his 1913 birth does not seem to exist, but then his natal state of Oklahoma didn’t even require birth registration until 1917. I can vouch that my own mom, born a couple of years after Downard in a neighboring county had no genuine birth certificate. I can also vouch that she definitely existed. Harder to explain is the apparent absence of his 1996 death from the Social Security Death Index. So in some respects, Downard is the Man Who Wasn’t There. However, the larger public record not only verifies his physical existence but also substantiates many of the basic details he gave about himself and others—and reveals a few other things besides. In my research, I spend a good deal of time trolling passenger lists, census records, investigation files, and similar databases to piece together the movements and associations of spies and other shady types. It can be tedious and frustrating work, but is also frequently rewarding and sometimes revelatory. I decided to see what I could turn up on Downard.3 Downard’s paternal grandfather, William James Downard—the Grandpa Downard mentioned in Carnivals as the man whose hand-me-down pistol would get his grandson out of real or imagined predicaments—was born in Pennsylvania around 1844. The 1850 Census shows him living in Salt Creek, Ohio, a small township west of Canton, with his mother Rebecca Downard and two older sisters. No father is indicated, nor does one show up in the 1860 Census in Cardington Township north of Columbus where Rebecca and her now-teenage son are residing. While not explicitly indicated, Rebecca appears to be a widow, which makes her son Wil- issue 52 | summer 2012 www.paranoiamagazine.com

liam a widow’s son—like the Widow’s Son of Freemasonry’s Hiram Abiff. A mere coincidence perhaps, but perhaps not. photo: misteraitch Move ahead another ten years and the now 26-year-old William has served in the Union Army’s 3rd Ohio Cavalry during the Civil War and continued a slow migration across Ohio to settle in Wapakoneta, yet another small town just south of Lima. A prosperous dentist, he is now married to Harriet and has a one-year-old son, James Shelby Downard. In the 1880 Census, the boy’s name becomes Shelby J. Downard—the identical youngster, given that his parents and address are exactly the same. The Downard family is absent from the 1890 count, but both father and son are featured prominently in the local press in the years following; clearly, young Shelby was considered a person of some importance. On 21 July 1892, for instance, the Lima Daily News reported that Dr. Downard had www.paranoiamagazine.com assumed half ownership in the Wapakoneta Times and that his son Shelby— our Shelby’s father—would serve as its editor-in-chief.4 Almost exactly two years later, the Lima paper thought it worth noting that young Shelby Downard was leaving on a month’s sojourn in the mountains of Tennessee and Virginia, then to Detroit and the Great Lakes. On Christmas Day 1896, the Lima Times Democrat noted that young Mr. Downard was offering a public “Discourse on Philosophy,” and on 23 March 1897 the paper recounted his debate with the Rev. R. J. Thomsen on the question “Has England’s Foreign Policy Advanced Civilization?” (Shelby argued in the negative.) aim to “totally explode” Theosophist and kindred beliefs. Who might this have antagonized? By 1900, the whole family had relocated to Ottawa, Ohio where Shelby Sr. lists his occupation as “literary writer”: a young man with artistic and intellectual pretensions and some education. He also seems to have become miraculously younger, his age listed as 29 when he really should have been at least 31. In any case, he was still unmarried and living with his parents, which was not exactly the norm of the day. So our James Shelby Jr.’s father was important and opinionated. Perhaps most intriguing, though, is a 15 October 1895 item in the Times Democrat that notes his delivery of a paper to the local Philosophical Society on the theme of “Occult Philosophy,” with the Over the next few years, a major shift occurred: the intellectual and writer somehow became an expert on asphalt and opened a mining and paving business in southern Oklahoma. Did some personal crisis or tragedy lay behind the move? If so, did it have anything to do with the harassment issue 52 | summer 2012 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine 21

that would dog Shelby and his family for years to come? to have me killed.”7 Or might that have been Goldsmith, if anyone? Shelby Sr. was already well situated in Ardmore, Oklahoma in October 1904 when he wed Naomi Wilhelm, a dozen years his junior and native of Ballinger, Texas.5 In 1906, she gave birth to Dorothy Ann. By 1910, his father Dr. Downard had retired from dentistry and was the superintendent of Shelby Sr.’s asphalt mines outside Ardmore. When Dr. Downard died sometime prior to 1913—his wife began collecting a widow’s pension—Shelby Sr. was now about 41 and once more listed as James Shelby Downard, president of the Shelby Downard Asphalt Co. A letter in the 4 February 1910 Ada Evening News boasted that he was “one of the highest if not the highest on rock asphalt in the country” and noted that he had successfully handled paving contracts in Ardmore, Ft. Worth, Paris, Texas, and Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas. This meshes with details Shelby Jr. offers in Carnivals.6 In 1913, our hero, James Shelby Downard, Jr., was born into these roots. His memoir reveals a very curious relationship with his parents, his mother Naomi Wilhelm continually setting him up to be abused or worse, his father Shelby Sr. a mysterious furtive figure on the margins of his story. The implications of the continuous assaults on little James Shelby Jr. indicate some sort of payback or debt stemming from Shelby Sr.’s dealings with malevolent Freemasons related to other “sinister forces.” Despite this, young Downard—like most abuse victims— seems unwaveringly devoted to both parents. He is also on the mark when he mentions his father’s Patent #1662377, a “Process for producing asphalt paving mixtures.”9 Shelby Sr. applied for the patent in 1923 and it was published in 1928. According to Shelby Jr.’s recollection, in 1926 the family relocated to Louisville, Kentucky, and by the end of the Great Depression decade had moved again to Ft. Thomas, Kentucky, just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati. The 1930 Census places them there on South Ft. Thomas Avenue, their son “Shelby Downard” (no James or J indicated) being 16, his birthplace having shifted from Oklahoma to Texas, his mother Naomi having shaved a few years off her age. But Shelby Sr. has gone through a radical transformation: he is no longer a James or a Shelby at all but Donald J. Downard, and the birthplace of his parents not Pennsylvania but Ohio. His age, at least, is consistent, as is his profession: “Technologist, asphalt.” In a realm where the bizarrometer is The 1920 CenWhy the change in name?

Goldsmith was likely Jewish, and Shelby Jr. mentions that his father had at least one Jewish friend in Ardmore, local businessman Max Westheimer. Census data confirms Westheimer’s existence and that of his married daughter Dorothy (not Doris) Neustadt, also mentioned by Downard. Shelby Jr. mistrusted Westheimer, even speculating that he might have been the mysterious “Jew who had once paid 22 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine 10 them to pull up stakes. By Downard’s chronology, the family fled to Dallas in 1922, but the 1921 Dallas Directory shows Shelby Downard already residing at 824 Starr Street, the same street Shelby Jr. gives as the family address. He also notes that Shelby Sr. left Ardmore ahead of the rest of the family, so it makes sense that he would have set up in Dallas before they arrived.

Passenger and immigration records confirm her travel, showing that she returned to New York from Boulogne on 28 August 1933. Downard’s Carnivals describes a couple of incidents in the 1925 to 1931 period that deserve closer attention. The first involves a figure he dubs “Monster Manby.” In 1925, the 11-year-old Shelby Jr. accompanied his 18-year-old sister’s then-fiancé Charles www.paranoiamagazine.com

Schalings to Taos, New Mexico where Schalings engaged in a “face off” with Manby, a “Masonic con-man” and “the head of a secret society and everyone was scared of him.”11 Arthur Rochford Manby was absolutely real and even Downard’s imagination would have been hard pressed to conjure up someone more bizarre and menacing.12 Writer Jim Brandon aptly described Manby as an “odd amalgam cultivated English gentleman, secret society adept, and vicious robber baron”13 who did indeed run his own secret society: the United States Secret and Civil Service, Self-Supporting Branch, which Manby insisted was a local auxiliary of an off-the-books U.S. Intelligence Department in D.C.14 Among other things, Manby claimed to be in regular contact with a mysterious airship bringing him vital messages.15 He was ruthless, murderous, and paranoid, and in 1925 his Secret Service was in full swing and charged with protecting him from the swarms of hired killers he believed photo: dbking or claimed his enemies were launching against him. After his death or whatever it was, investigators discovered Manby’s private burial ground where he disposed of the decapitated corpses of his victims.16 What could be more Downardian? with that surname. Schallings, Schaling, and Shaling yielded a few hits, but none really fit the person described by Downard. This is atypical, since most persons mentioned by Downard can be identified through records. The second incident needing scrutiny occurs in 1931 and is arguably one of the creepiest in the book. Downard was inveigled by someone claiming to be Dr. Simon Pendleton Kramer’s son to recover a stash of “grave goods” from a crypt in St. Stephen Cemetery outside Ft. Thomas, supposedly the resting place of Dr. Kramer, a noted However, Downard’s claim that Manby died in 1925 is baseless. He was very much alive and working his tricks and schemes right up to July 1929 when his decomposed, headless body—if it really was his—was discovered in his Taos home. Also, there is no record of any Charles Schalings or anyone neurologist and brain surgeon and a professor at the Cincinnati College of Medicine.17 Downard was hoodwinked: St. Stephen was a Catholic graveyard and the good doctor was Jewish, and the only Kramer buried in St. Stephen by 1931 was a child who died in 1915.18 As Downard soon discovered, Kramer lived until 1940 and was buried in Arlington National Cemetery in recognition of his long service to the U.S. Army. He did have two sons, Simon Paul and Vincent H., both almost exactly the same age as Downard. Simon www.paranoiamagazine.com issue 52 | summer 2012 Paul Kramer would go on to have a very interesting career as a spy, among other things.19 The tomb—whoever it belonged to—contained a strange mechanical device bearing the name “Dayton Witch” that Downard supposed was some sort coding/ decoding machine or “calculator for Army logistics.”20 In that regard, it’s worth noting that just outside nearby Dayton, Ohio was Wilbur Wright Field, later part of today’s massive Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Since 1918, Wright field had been the base of the Army Air Service’s experimental engineering program, and in 1931 it housed the Air Corps’ Materiel Division. Could the “Dayton Witch” have had some connection to this? Perhaps the most puzzling aspect of the crypt caper was Downard’s discovery of various books bearing the name “James Shelby Downard” and addressing arcane topics like “telepathy and mind control,” “magnetic lines,” “atomic piles,” and codes and ciphers.21 When he asked his still-living father if he had authored the books, the old man denied it and seemed repelled by all but one. Then were they written by the elder J. S. Downard before he became an asphalt tycoon? He was a “literary writer” and man of diverse interests. Could these tomes have been his youthful creations, privately printed and long hidden away? Perhaps Shelby Sr.’s aversion to them stemmed from being forced to recall a time and circumstances he’d long tried to forget—or escape. Downard’s quandary over the tomb books raises interesting quesparanoia: the conspiracy magazine 23

tions. Was there a third James Shelby Downard? Based on census and other relevant records, the answer is a definite no. However, there was a plain James Downard born in 1915 in Jackson, Ohio, 90 miles due east of Ft. Thomas, the son of a James R. Downard. Neither appears to have been literarily inclined. Then there is Shelby W. Downard, a contractor who lived in Galveston, Texas but born in Kentucky not far from Ft. Thomas and roughly the same age as J. S. Downard, Sr. He too had one son, Alva C. Downard. Galveston, Texas does show up in Downard’s memoir as the starting point for a very unpleasant voyage on a sulphur freighter. The man who helped him get the job on the ship was a “friend” of his mother, Col. George H. Bunker, connected with the Interstate Amiesite Company, the firm that controlled his father’s paving patent. Downard also describes the Colonel as someone “who knew a lot of rich, influential and famous people.”22 This is certainly true: Bunker was at one time the commander of the American Legion and an FBI collaborator, indicating that he did indeed have connections in high—and secretive—places.23 Downard’s memoir ends in 1935, but public records yield a few more clues about where he was and what he was doing through and immediately following WWII. The 1942 Chattanooga city directory shows J. Shelby Downard as a U.S. Army x-ray technician living at 1005 S. Crest Road. The only major military installation in the vicinity was in Ft. Oglethrope, Georgia, and in 1942 it was home to the 63rd Surgical Hospital. However, just two years later he appears in the St. Petersburg, Florida directory as a “bacteriologist” and apparently a civilian. How did he go from x-ray tech to bacteriologist in such a short time? Moreover, could any of this somehow relate to an earlier connection to Dr. Kramer and the Army hospital in Ft. Thomas? But the ‘44 directory includes another intriguing detail: the name Ann, a reference to Anne Witwer, a woman Downard claimed to have 24 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine married in the late 1930s and later lamented as “The Great Whore” for her supposed sex magick seduction by malevolent Masonic forces.24 The only other apparent record pertaining to this union is the Florida Divorce Index, which records a 1945 decree issued in 1945 in Pinellas County to James Shelby Downard and unnamed spouse. Other information about Witwer is elusive. Several Anne or Ann Witwers show up in records, but all are too young or old to be Downard’s bride. The only one who might possibly fit the bill is an Ann P. Witwer, born in 1912 and died in Prescott Arizona in 2000. Curiously, a Deborah Anne Witwer, born 1945, registered marriages in Pinellas County in 1966 and 1971. What would J. Shelby Downard make of that? In conclusion, whatever we may think of James Shelby Downard’s fantastic adventures of another era, they are woven within a framework of real places, people, and events, indicating that his youthful memories may also be remarkably accurate. Thus we are left to wonder over what other stranger truths lurk in his writing. 1 James Shelby Downard, The Carnivals of Life and Death, Los Angeles: Feral House, 2006.

SOPA Smokescreen •Google promotes itself as a leading opponent of web censorship, including its highly-publicized opposition to the SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act). However, apparently it’s OK when Google itself does the censoring. For example, journalist Paul Joseph Watson has pointed out that Google has removed the sites that publish his work (infowars.com and prisonplanet. com) from Google News search results, despite the fact they routinely get more traffic than mainstream news sites. In addition, according to Watson, You Tube—which Google owns—has complied with “thousands of requests worldwide” to remove protest videos that clearly do not violate any copyright laws or threaten national security. Indeed, the whole SOPA saga appears to have been a smokescreen. Some two months before website protests put SOPA on hold, President Obama quietly signed the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA). According to Watson, under ACTA, copyright holders in any country “will be granted sweeping direct powers to demand ISPs [Internet Service Providers] remove material from the Internet” with no legal oversight or court order required. [infowars.com] and New England. Researcher Michelle Blowers and others believe the temblors are related to a new practice by energy companies—hydro-fracturing, or “fracking.” A fracking well uses high-pressure blasts of liquid to shatter underground rock layers and release bits of trapped oil and gas. Due to Bush-era deregulation, companies have been able to plant thousands of fracking wells in the U.S. and abroad. According to Blowers, environmental activists aren’t the only ones raising the alarm. The Oklahoma Geological Survey investigated a series of January 2011 earthquakes in Garvin County, which began hours after a nearby fracking project went online. Its report acknowledged a “strong correlation in time and space” between the fracking and the earthquakes, but stopped short of making a definitive connection. In February 2011, the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission issued an emergency moratorium on new fracking after a rare 4.7 magnitude quake hit the area. In June 2011, U.K. energy company Cuadrilla Resources admitted its fracking caused a series of “minor seismic events” in northwest England. The industry as a whole, however, continues to deny any connection. As Blowers pointedly asks, “What price are we willing to pay, in lives and property, for the promise of ‘cheap energy’?” [technorati.com] Like the infamous “weapons of mass destruction” rationale for invading Iraq, professed concern about Iran’s nuclear ambitions obscures America’s naked geopolitical interests in the region. The United States would, of course, like its corporations to possess Iran’s oil and natural gas. Further, it would gain leverage over China, which is currently one of the largest consumers of Iran’s energy resources. Moreover, as noted by Mr. Nazemroaya, Iran has made agreements with several nations, including China and Russia, to replace the U.S. dollar with other currencies for all trading transactions. These developments represent a serious threat to the United States’ longterm economic power, and are eerily similar to Saddam Hussein’s decision to begin trading his oil in Euros prior to the U.S. invasion of Iraq.

London’s Mystical Legacy by Toyne Newton & Jonathan Tapsell Recent research into a low-key ceremonial magick student of Aleister Crowley named Madeline Montalban (1910-1982) has recently thrown up a huge new wave of speculation, theories, and new information regarding who controls society. Montalban is best known as an astrologer who for years regaled Prediction magazine readers with her inestimable esoteric knowledge, including that of the Tarot. Now that she has recently returned to the fore, she is beginning to make waves again. Her real name was Dolores North and she enjoyed some very high-powered connections in both the aristocratic society of the 1930’s and 1940’s and the esoteric world where she rubbed shoulders with the leading lights of her day. Her intuition, magical presence, and intellectual ability placed her in an unusual position, which may in part have helped to save the British Isles from Nazi invasion! Montalban lived on the coast of Southern England in Brighton where she wrote about astrology and Tarot and practiced magic at a very advanced level, thanks to Crowley, from whom she eventually broke away to practice her own rites. During the War, she was private astrologer/secretary to the late Lord Louis Mountbatten (Prince Charles’ uncle). Throughout World War II in her official capacity as a Naval Wren, Montalban drove her Royal Patron in an unmarked Black Rolls Royce, few suspecting that the Royal passenger had his astrologer’personal spiritual advisor/ritual magician with him at all times. Mountbatten’s travels always ended in Hampshire, his official residence, and it was here in the New Forest that a most unusual connection took place. Prior to the outbreak of the World War II, Montalban had worked as a scribe to Gerald Gardner, the modern father of Wicca or Witchcraft. Montalban helped type up his fictional manuscript High Magic’s Aid (1939), disavowing the Wiccan cult herself. Gardner, it may be remembered, was himself inducted into traditional Wicca by a small group of Witches now known as the New Forest Coven, and (it is 26 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine believed) conducted spells against Hitler to thwart his proposed invasion of the British Isles. The black Rolls Royce driven by Montalban was seen on several occasions parked outside the workshop of a humble lens grinder named Ernie Mason, acknowledged by some to be the leader of the New Forest Coven. Montalban led a distinguished unknown Naval Officer into the ritual room where a statue of the Leshan Giant Buddha called Dafo stood. Years later, these furtive meetings were recalled by Old Ernie’s apprentice Bill Wakefield who gave an exact description of the lady and man—surely Montalban and Mountbatten—who came to the workshop in search of esoteric training and advice. At the height of the spells against Hitler, one of the Witches gave his life in sacrifice and unleashed a thought wave that, it is said, sent Hitler to sleep in one of his High Command briefings, something that had never happened before. When the Fuhrer awoke, he ordered that Operation Sea Lion (the invasion of Britain) be abandoned and the disastrous invasion of Russia begin instead. To this day, why Hitler chose to do this has baffled historians and military tacticians. It is said that the same spell was used against Napoleon Bonaparte during the Napoleonic Wars and to defeat the impending invasion of the Spanish Armada during Elizabethan times. Members of the Wartime Establishment got wind of the reputed spell and tracked down Old Ernie, believed to be the last guardian of the ancient rite. Madame Montalban may have been instrumental in making this happen, given that someone of Royal blood was necessary to invoking the spell. The fictional work Lammas Night by Katherine Kurtz (1983) recounts the story, albeit in a highly dramatic form. As a custodian of many esoteric secrets herself, Madam Montalban trained several students over the years in her own magical Order of the Morning Star, or Ordo Stella Matutina. One of those students was Russian aristocrat, leading issue 52 | summer 2012 www.paranoiamagazine.com

Freemason, and Gurdjieff scholar Nicholas Tereschenko, a man steeped in esoteric lore. In one of his many lectures, Tereschenko spoke of Madame Montalban’s innermost teachings and their connection to the 13th sign of astrology known as the Serpent Holder or Ophiuchus which occupies most of the sign of Saggitarius. He said that the symbol of Ophiuchus went back to Babylonian astronomy when it was not seen as a child holding a serpent as the Greeks maintained, but that of God represented as a man with a human upper body and serpent legs. Tereschenko clearly equated this depiction with the Red Dragon symbol that denoted the bloodline of later Egyptian Kingship. man for red shield—a subtle allusion to the secret bloodline? The official symbol of the Square Mile—London’s elite financial district, which is also known as the Square Mile— occupies the rough foundations of the original Roman or Brutus’ City and is not to be confused with London the everyday capital. These are quite distinct. To further muddy the waters, the City of London Corporation governs the City with its own Police Force and is not answerable to the democratically elected Parliament. The City of London Corporation, also known as the Crown, is not to be mistaken as the monarch of the Country who must surrender his sword and follow behind the Lord Mayor when entering the City precincts marked by huge plinths bearing the Dragon symbol on top. To symbolise the independence of the Crown over the monarch, the King or Queen is shown to be a citizen under the authority of the Lord Mayor. Madame Madame Montalban taught her Montalban taught Morning Star group that the secrets of magic and astrology were kept by the Egyptian Priesthood for use by the Royal her Morning Star Dynasties, a tradition that much later came to Europe.

Today, the Rothschild’s—the chief banking family of the City—claim lineage dating back to London founder Brutus so as to stake their claim over the Square Mile. Indeed, the Bauer family changed their name to Rothschild which is Gerwww.paranoiamagazine.com in pure gold in return for political favour.

Madam Montalban and others identified the secret traditions of the Red Dragon, Ophiuchus, and the magickal connections entwined with that of the Crown. Could it be that in this day of mass information, new insights, and new awareness, we are finally getting a glimpse of the world rulers and their secret agenda for us all?

mothman, JFK, UFO, MIB & Me by Andy Colvin

The word aporetic refers to a paradox or state of confusion, a condition we often experience when dealing with media accounts of Mothman, Men in Black (MIB), or UFOs. The questions surrounding the paranormal can be as bewildering as the questions raised by quantum physics; although we seem to live in a world of concrete, separate objects, physicists tell us – in seeming agreement with gurus and indigenous medicine men – that we are actually living in a hologram, where all things are somehow conscious and interconnected. Reality is alive, responding in strange and indirect ways to our deepest desires and frustrations – which themselves arise from the conditions of that reality. Aristotle claimed that metaphysics, the new science he was trying to create, depended on first reviewing all of those things that still puzzle us. Many childhood paranormal witnesses have taken to this method of inquiry -- a personal exploration on one level a form of cultural anthropology on another. Since many of us in the Ohio River basin were seeing unusual creatures and craft during the late 1960s, we grew up wanting certain questions answered. Some of us found our way into fields tohelp answer those questions. In the late 1960s, two legendary Fortean researchers, Gray Barker and John Keel, were came to my neighborhood in the Kanawha Valley to investigate the strange sightings there of birdmen, MIB, and UFOs. As Gray described in his book The Silver Bridge, they visited our hamlet of Mound, WV (now called North Charleston) while looking into the Tad Jones UFO sighting. Mound was once the location of a Shawnee Indian settlement with thousands of burial mounds. Since the Kanawha Valley was not encroached upon by the last Ice Age, these mound sites are quite ancient. Human tools and implements dating back thousands of years have been found there. Certain earthworks in the area appear to be based on the same mathematics as Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid. Extremely tall skeletons found in the mounds are said to resemble those recovered near the Damascus Gate in Old Jerusalem. photo: puroticorico Mound is perhaps better known for hosting Union Carbide’s Blaine Island plant that isolates and purifies rare metals. Several Superfund sites can be found in and around Mound. Geiger counters tend to go off near the plant as they do at Mothman’s haunt at the TNT Area in Pt. Pleasant, suggesting the presence of radioactive materials. Today, the Blaine facility is operated jointly by Bayer and Dow Chemical, Carbide’s current parent company. Not long after a major labor strike broke out at Carbide in 1966, Mothman was seen flying over the Blaine plant, which, by the way, is nestled on a U.S. Naval Reservation. Around the same time as the labor strike, Carbide employee Tad Jones reportedly saw a metallic saucer with “tripod legs” in Dunbar, the next hamlet to the west of the plant. In addition, a housewife in St. Albans, just across the river from Dunbar, claimed that her husband had gone out onto the porch to confront Mothman, but was hypnotized by the creature for almost a half hour. Late that year, I thought I saw Mothman flying over our car very close to the www.paranoiamagazine.com spot where Jones saw his UFO. In 1967, a playmate of mine showed us marks in his front yard where a craft similar to the one seen by Jones had landed. We kids were unaware of the Jones affair or any other saucer reports. Dunbar is just east of Institute, another village with lots of Indian mounds. Institute was once a prime stop on the Underground Railway during the Civil War. Several key battles – mostly over salt deposits – took place in the area, such as the Battle of Scary Creek fought right across the river from Institute. Intensive efforts to mine salt eventually led to the discovery of oil and natural gas present under salt mines. The Kanawha Valley is thus where natural gas was first discovered and where industrial oil was first manufactured by squeezing coal under high pressure. Essentially, the technology and mindset of Big Oil – the infamous “militaryindustrial complex” – was birthed along the Kanawha River. The U.S. Army cavalry unit that killed Shawnee Chief Cornstalk in Pt. Pleasant – thus setting off the “Mothman Curse” on that town – camped near Institute on land owned by our Freemason first president, George Washington. During WWII, Institute’s Carbide plant happened to be one of the only places where synthetic oil and gasoline were made. Despite this – or perhaps because of it – Carbide and other companies like Dow, Bayer, and DuPont shared patents with Nazi Germany. The Institute facility had a sister plant of sorts in Germany, Dora-Mittelbau, which also made synthetic rubber and oil. Dora is best known for being the Nazis’ infamous V-2 rocket plant where forced labor was used, but it was also one of the places where Nazi flying saucers were secretly produced. Did the Institute plant take over some of the Nazis’ flying saucer production after the war? There is now credible evidence that Carbide manufactured some of the plastics and adhesives found at the scene of the Roswell UFO crash. Pieces of the wreckage looked suspiciously Nazi-esque to initial USAF investigators, causing them to bring in German scientists to try and pinpoint the source. Carbide is also thought to have lent technical support to the National Security Agency (NSA) to complete construction of a secret command base in eastern West Virginia from which submarines, satellites, and missiles are monitored (as well as a majority of our phone calls, faxes, and emails). This base would have been a perfect facility for testing and tracking remotely piloted aerial vehicles; the Germans reportedly developed several models, a few of which fell into U.S. hands. As a result of such research and development, some serious Cold War spying was going on in the Ohio and Kanawha Valleys during the 1960s. The aerial drones used in the Middle East today are an outgrowth of this early saucer/ satellite research. Chillingly, in June 2010, the military formally requested permission from the FAA to fly drones over U.S. airspace. Some of these drones are small enough to fly through the windows of private homes and can be disguised to look like birds or large insects. The man who reportedly headed the Dora flying saucer production line, Gen. Walter Dornberger, eventually issue 52 | summer 2012 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine 29

became an executive at Bell Aircraft in Dallas, supposedly a haven for military men who hated JFK. Dornberger was friends with the famous Nazi scientist, Wernher von Braun, then head of NASA Security. Von Braun had headed up the Dora facility before coming to the U.S. and reportedly rescued Dornberger from being hanged at Nuremberg. In time, some wondered if Nazi Project Paperclipscientists had created the ET thesisto cover their own purposes. Certainly a widespread belief in ETs would obfuscate the terrestrial nature of flying saucers,and the potential threat of an alien invasion might increase funding of NASA.The possibility of UFOs ended up greatly intensifying the Cold War and resulted in more cash for defense companies and Wall Street. The ET indoctrination program was also used politically and for purposes of social engineering or “perception management.” Declassified documents have shown that intelligence agencies occasionally leak or create UFO stories to provide distraction whenever the government is under fire. paranoia: the conspiracy magazine precautions,he manufacture of TNT normally not requiring such secrecy. The UFOs seen streaming up and down Pt. Pleasant’s Camp Conley Road in the 1960s indicated that a new line of saucers was being built below the TNT Area. The craft that John Keel discovered may have emanated from two extremely large, open “water According to author and physicist Joseph Farrell, some of the Nazi atomic and saucer technology was sent to Bariloche, Argentina,headquarters of Nazi International after the war. The Bariloche accelerator facility was known for sending “solunal” shockwaves through plasma in order to trigger nuclear devices. Interestingly, “solunal” spelled backwards spells “Lanulos,” the name of the “planet” the famous UFO contactee Woody Derenberger was taken to in a spaceship pilot ed byIndrid Cold, a self-proclaimed “spaceman” who, we later learned, lived in a house near Institute. Those with an understanding of ufological “name games” will no doubt surmise that some sort of linkage must have existed between Kanawha Valley and the headquarters of the Nazi Odessa in South America . . .

Later, only Frederick had any memory of the guidebook to the Turtlenecked MIBs tossing gas canisters and injecting everyone in “Big Conspiracy?” the house with some sort of truth In the years leading up to the Mothman events of 1966-67, MIB had disappeared completely and there had been a precipitous drop in media coverage of “antigravity” devices. This makes sense, as it wasn’t until the late 1950s that U.S. defense contractors were finally able to secure the patents of early Nazi saucer inventors like Viktor Schauberger, who was held incommunicado until he signed away his rights. Once the secret was in hand, all mention of antigravity was pulled from the media. After five or so years of tinkering with the stolen designs, the public was suddenly treated to a wave of UFOs, particularly in West Virginia and Ohio where many of the Paperclip scientists had gone. The arrival of the Kecksburg UFO in 1965, thought by some to have been a clever delivery of a “Nazi Bell” antigravity machine, 30 signaled the start of a new era of MIB and UFO activity. tanks” on a hilltop near the airport, andthe testing of such craft might account for the whirlwinds or “dust devils” reported by local witnesses. In those days, TNT Area employees were forced to ride to work in school buses with blacked-out windows so they would not know exactly where the underground entrances were located. However in nearby Nitro, WV, where nitroglycerin has long been made, there are no such extreme security issue 52 | summer 2012 serum. One wonders how many families of defense employees were treated to such indignities in order to find out how much they knew. Simultaneously, dozens of cases of a rare form of cancer cropped up at Carbide plants in the Kanawha Valley, many of which– due to extreme tensions between management and labor – may have been purposely induced either by arranged “accident” (i.e., a chemical spill) or by a method said to have originated in the Eastern Bloc: the surreptitious needle prick. The federal government performed a whitewash www.paranoiamagazine.com

study on the Carbide cancers, And no data was compiled about just how many of the targets worked on secret projects or how many were active in labor unions. Some of the employees, including my father, hinted that they might have contracted the disease after being pricked or jabbed by a needle. Vehicle seats may have been the most common location for such loathsome devices apparently laced with radioactive or other cancer-causing substances. Such compounds would have been fairly easy to find in Mound, since Carbide was reportedly operating a secret nuclear reactor – perhaps the world’s first – under their Tech Center in S. Charleston. Other methods for intimidating local defense workers included running them off the road, planting explosive devices under their cars, and hitting them in crosswalks. Interestingly, Ohioan David Ferrie, the mobster and CIA asset suspected of being involved in the JFK assassination, is thought to have injected prisoners in Louisiana with cancer, and that his assistant in this effort was Lee Harvey Oswald, who himself may have been a Naval intelligence asset sent in to gather information on Ferrie and his neo-Nazi friends. Certainly someone resembling Ferrie was seen in Pt. Pleasant in 1966. Did Ferrie know Indrid Cold? photo: NASA est in the late 1960s due to the high number of “genius” kids there. David Ferrie was also allegedly acquainted with Fred Lee Crisman, the CIA pilot involved in our nation’s first modern UFO story, the Maury Island affair. Both belonged to Wandering Bishop orders, essentially intelligence fronts posing as churches. Like Ferrie, Crisman was called in to testify about his possible role in the JFK assassination, testimony that has never been released. Barker claimed he was stalked in 1967 by a man in a priest’s outfit, one of Ferrie’s favorite looks. In 2010, after I showed Woody Derenberger’s daughter a photo of Crisman, she told me that he was one of the “researchers” who had come around to investigate her father’s claims. Soon after, I got confirmation from a second source that Crisman had tried to investigate Derenberger under the auspices of the Cleveland UFO Group.

In 1977, official inquiries of the U.S. Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities (the Church Committee) revealed the existence of MK-ULTRA’s extensive mind control programs run by the CIA, some dipping into the UFO world. UFO magazines were rife with stories about “aliens” implanting messages inabductees’ heads, some messages causing abductees to commit senseless violence, such as shooting at black Cadillacs – an act that would both discredit the victim and generate sympathy for MIBs. Apparently, the “aliens” even figured out to how do such things remotely, using EM waves to plant “voices” in the heads of unsuspecting victims. Subliminal messages were being beamed into the TV sets of U.S. government employees, commanding them to steal sensitive documents. The government hired a psychiatrist to look into the disturbing trend and determined that such things were indeed happening. Then out of the blue, so to speak, the doctor“committed suicide” after watching a football game on TV. (Keel and Barker both wrote about cases in which UFO and Mothman paranoia: the conspiracy magazine 31

witnesses received strange messages via their televisions.) Immediately following the Church Committee revelations of 1977, conspiracy researcher Mae Brussell pinned the entire UFO abduction phenomenon on her favorite suspects: former Nazis who had secretly come to the U.S. during Operation Paperclip after carrying outsimilar mind control experiments in and around plants like Dora and Auschwitz. Brussell was also convinced that this international order of ex-Nazis had killed JFK, and that the U.S Army’s Chief of Intelligence during WWII, a suspected double agent, had planned it . . . ruda, an Asian protector deity, it is possible that the famous “Oriental” Men in Black may have been Chinese agents hot on the trail of reincarnated Tibetan monks whom they feared and despised. According to sources inside the Buddhist community, some Tibetan monks have the ability to turn into Garudas and/or balls of light. Perhaps Ohio Valley witnesses were witnessing a battle between MIBs. Or while the White Brotherhood of Shambhala was trying to help folks, the dark agents from Dora spread a vicious form of racist ideology to a number of local UFO contactees. Keel commented on how strange it was that these contactees were given messages “straight out of Hitler’s Mein Kampf.” Not long after these revelations, Mae Brussell died of fast-acting cancer, perhaps after the prick of a needle. Ultimately, After all, Ferrie was a pilot, pedophile, Keel’s theory reand hypnotist in addition to being garding the effects a cancer researcher, flying himself of geomagnetism around the U.S. at will, trolling for on the human victims on what was likely a generous brain accounting stipend.

Nowadays, it is almost impossible to tell if a UFO is natural or synthetic, given thatsome recent inventions may be able to create unusual EM fields that can also alter human perception. To some degree, these new craft may be able to mimic the ancient phenomena discussed by Keel, including encounters of strange lights that affect the brain as “religious experiences.” In the mid-1980s, the rhetoric softened and MIBs took a break from harassing UFO and “free energy” researchers. The Air Force and NASA stopped obsessing over contactees and a few petrochemical companies left the Kanawha Valley and moved to China. The subject of UFOs went away for over a decade with only a few stalwarts like Keel, Barker, and Jim Moseley keeping things alive. People forgot about the many early abductees like Betty and Barney Hill who saw soldiers in Nazi uniforms during their UFO abductions. The fact that Army psychiatrists had hypnotized the Hills into forgetting what they had actually seen was swept under the rug. In a sense, MIBs may be at the very heart of the Ohio Valley mystery of “Mothman.” In a sense, MIBs may be at the very heart of the Ohio Valley mystery of “Mothman.” If Keel was correct in suspecting that Mothman is a Ga- 32 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine craft, others seem to be conglomerations of energy that can transmogrify and interface with the human mind.

The method? Make the story less believable by adding incredible details , like saying it took you on a ride to Venus. Woody Derenberger may have been forced down such a path, probably being told that if he played along, no one would get hurt. www.paranoiamagazine.com

Then when the UFO field rebounded in the 1980s, it lifted UFO abduction to a status approaching communion with God. Authors like Whitley Strieber, Budd Hopkins, and John Mack burst forth with well-written believable stories about “real” aliens. With the help of pro-ET fundraising outfits like the Rockefeller Initiative and shadowy groups like MJ-12, the Aviary, and the Human Potential Foundation, the belief that humans regularly engage with space aliens became a fixture in the American psyche. Today, the UFO field has become hopelessly muddled by hoaxes, intelligence concoctions, and dubious memes such as “False Memory Syndrome,” the “Repto-Sapien Agenda,” and “Exopolitics.” The obvious has been brushed aside. An increasingly large segment of the population believes that ETs are real and perhaps in control of the White House. Behind the constant drone of ET programming in the media, the intimidating MIBs were always there, lying in wait for anyone who refused to believe the alien hypothesis. The fact that the UFO field has long been dominated by “former” military and intelligence officerscontinues to fall on deaf ears. To return briefly to Woody Derenberger, an Army intelligence veteran and former Carbide employee. Right before his “contact” with spaceman Indrid Cold , an auto accident appears to have been staged that isolated Woody so he could be hypnotized without interruption. Strangely, an impenetrable ball of metal encased in 24-carat gold was found in a nearby field the same night that Indrid Cold made his first appearance. Was Cold looking for something that had accidentally fallen off of an aircraft, perhaps from an AVRO saucer? All we can say is that if top-secret material actually did fall, Derenberger’s stories about spacemen provided good cover. Perhaps as some sort of reward, Woody received his fifteen minutes of fame on the lecture circuit. Even Gen. Walter Dornberger, whom Keel referred to as Gen. “Nuremberger,” traveled the UFO lecture circuit. And why not? Dornberger knew more about the manufacture of saucers than anyone else.

who men are the in black really? by olav phillips [Wikipedia:] Men in Black (MIB), in popular culture and in UFO conspiracy theories, are men dressed in black suits who claim to be government agents who harass or threaten UFO witnesses to keep them quiet about what they have seen. It is sometimes implied that they may be aliens themselves. The term is also frequently used to describe mysterious men working for unknown organizations, as well as to various branches of government allegedly designed to protect secrets or perform other strange activities. The term is a generic one, used to refer to any unusual, threatening or strangely behaved individual whose appearance on the scene can be linked in some fashion with a UFO sighting. In all of UFOlogy and conspiracy research, one of the most haunting questions has persisted since the dawn of our era: Who are the Men in Black (MIB) and what is their larger agenda? Many have tried to understand, quantify, and sort out answers to these two questions while film and television have exploited MIB’s cultural zeitgeist. Their existence, whether real or not, has become engrained in the fabric of our culture. Who are these wicked men dressed in black—men who interrogate witnesses, threaten lives, and allegedly cause researchers to die in faked suicides? Who are the Men in Black, really, and what is their role in the game that pits the welfare of the majority against the desires of the wealthy? Luminaries Jacques Vallee and John Keel believe that the MIB is a cultural construct representing a modern day boogieman or dark entity. Vallee likened them to the dark entities dressed in black and habituating mist-shrouded forests who terrorized peasants in 13th century Europe. Traveler beware! Other researchers such as Nick Redfern see the MIBs as tolpas (negative thought forms). Others believe them to be aliens that have acquired a human appearance. Or is the MIB a shadowy, unnamed government agent whose purpose is to cover up the things conspiracy researchers seek to expose? The truth of the matter is that no one has yet published a compelling argument as to the true identity www.paranoiamagazine.com of these mysterious boogiemen that haunt UFOlogists and conspiracy researchers the world over. This article attempts to describe who it is we are dealing with, and why “mystical men” are carrying out these operations of silent terror. As with many things in the conspiracy world, MIBs are not as they seem, and more commonly, never as we remember. For the moment, let’s cast off the notion that the MIB are mystical or alien creatures. Who Are the Men in Black? At its root, the Men in Black phenomenon—around which a huge mythos has been built—is fundamentally a global nuts-and-bolts operation made up of people carrying out secret government missions. Why, even MIBs identify themselves as government agents. I know of several people who have had run-ins with these shadowy characters in dark suits and flashy cars, though they also exist in several other forms. The first popular account of a MIB visitation was that of Albert Bender, editor of a very popular flying saucer magazine and research organization. In his 1963 Flying Saucers and the Three Men In Black, he recounts how in 1953 three men dressed in the proverbial black suits told him to cease his research into UFOs because he had come too close to the truth. They basically said, “If we hear another word from you, you’re in trouble” (the gist of most Men In Black messages). After threatening him, they then went on to explain that they were from the planet Kazik and had infiltrated the government at all levels. Bender’s account offers a kind of snapshot of the Cold War political environment of the time: three Men in Black show up, threaten a witness, then proceed to discuss their true mission with him. By Gray Barker’s 1997 They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers, it seems the message was not to issue 52 | summer 2012 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine 35

Badges As we continue to turn away from sensationalism toward inductive reasoning, we note that the MIB carry badges, represent themselves as government agents, and have specialized investigative training. Could they represent a worldwide organization concerned with aerial threats? Just about every government agency has been accused of being home to the MIB. The CIA, NSA, FBI, even NASA have all been accused, but they all eventually fall short: The CIA’s well-deserved reputation for shadowy mission objectives and “black operations” makes it the boogieman of many conspiracy theories, but the CIA is not directly involved in aerial phenomena. So the CIA is eliminated from the suspect list. NASA is involved in aerial phenomena but is not a sophisticated counterintelligence and interrogation agency. It is largely staffed by ex-military pilots and is a service provider to the military-industrial complex, not an intelligence agency. So NASA is eliminated. As for the NSA—the cryptologic intelligence agency of the United States Department of Defense (Website)—it is mostly concerned with electronic intelligence and look toward the CIA for human intelligence. 36 if it weren’t for the worldwide nature of the MIB phenomenon. While they fulfill the necessary requirements inside the United States, they lacks the overseas intelligence arm. This is not to say that government organizations may not be involved in MIB interactions. In my conversations with Ground Zero radio host Clyde Lewis, I came to firmly believe that his interactions with several MIBs that resulted in his car being blown up was due to a CID team—United States Army Criminal Investigation Command (USACIDC), of which the operations division is commonly abbreviated to CID (Wikipedia)—or maybe a team of thugs from Dugway Proving Grounds in Utah trying to cover up experimental technology. There is only one organization, and it is a shadowy one, that fulfills all the prerequisites for Men in Black. As part of the US Air Force, they have the training, secrecy, and directive to be the true Men in Black. AFOSI It’s not commonly known or well understood, due in part to a high level of secrecy, that the US Air Force has a very strong human intelligence-gathering organization: the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI). The FBI might be a good candidate AFOSI Mission, Vision, & Vector . . . FUNCTION: We are a federal law enforcement and investigative agency operating throughout the full spectrum of conflict, seamlessly within any domain; conducting criminal investigations and providing counterintelligence services. MISSION: To paranoia: the conspiracy magazine issue 52 | summer 2012 Identify, exploit and neutralize criminal, terrorist and intelligence threats to the Air Force, Department of Defense and U.S. Government . . . The AFOSI has interesting idiosyncrasies or features: (1) An investigating OSI agent must report directly to the Inspector General (IG), thus bypassing the entire base chain of command. This is a powerful connection: any active field agent, regardless of rank, has a direct line to the IG. (2) Unlike other investigative services of the US military (NCIS, CID, etc.), only military personnel carry out investigations for OSI, meaning that all OSI field agents are US military. The organization is headed by a General Officer, never a civilian. Civilians are employed as administrators or scientists, but all investigators are military. (3) The OSI maintains a completely autonomous administrative function, meaning human resources (HR) is not handled by the USAF HR, and movement orders and other HR issues are handled internally. (4) All movement orders for OSI personnel are classified and sent securely and directly to the OSI member involved. Furthermore, when investigations are complete, all materials are sent to the headquarters for analysis and storage via special OSI courier. No files are kept locally, adding one more layer to the already surprisingly high level, need-to-know security for OSI operations. (5) OSI agent ranking is classified, www.paranoiamagazine.com photo: Dennis Todorut offer a snapshot of anything other than further muddying the waters the Men In Black were floundering in.

so when interviewing an OSI or special agent, you never know if you are talking to a tech sergeant, a captain, or a lieutenant: you are simply working with an OSI Special Agent. OSI agents wear suits or business attire, not uniforms, and present themselves only as Special or Government Agents. When OSI agents are sent overseas they are issued red diplomatic passports, meaning they cannot be held for any reason, plus their families have full diplomatic immunity. Pretty interesting for a lonely Air Force organization whose purported mission is to investigate murder and fraud. This obsessive level of secrecy provides the linchpin to my OSI-MIB theory. The OSI is notorious for classifying EVERYTHING, as they do not want to put themselves in the position of figuring out what should or should not be declassified, which is why FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests for OSI operations information produce no results. AFOSI’s Interesting History Founded August 1, 1948 at the request of Congress, the US Air Force Office of Special Investigations—not to be confused with the Office of Scientific Intelligence with a similar acronym directorate called The Directorate of Sabotage and Espionage. The agency was founded by Special Agent Lieutenant General Joseph Carroll. Already a decorated FBI agent, he was special assistant to FBI Director J. Edger Hoover, then given a field commission to the rank of colonel, then rose to the rank of Major General in 1950. In 1961, Gen. Carroll was promoted to founding Director of the DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency). This meteoric rise through the ranks was unusual for someone who did not start out in the US Air Force or graduate from the Air Force Academy. Dates of Rank January 12, 1948 Colonel, U.S. Air Force (Reserve) May 6, 1948 Brigadier General, U.S. Air Force (Reserve) August 11, 1950 Major General, U.S. Air Force (Reserve) January 29, 1952 Colonel, U.S. Air Force February 1, 1960 Lieutenant General, U.S. Air Force Medals & Decorations Distinguished Service Medal Legion of Merit with one oak leaf cluster Air Force Outstanding Unit Award National Defense Service Medal Air Force Longevity Service Ribbon with four oak leaf clusters UFOs Within the US Government, the US Air Force is the defender of our airspace. Given the technical research capabilities of the USAF, it stands to reason that UFO investigations would be kicked over to the USAF to be investigated by the OSI. In fact, during or upon completion of an OSI investigation, agents leverage the Scientific Directorate, located at FBI headquarters in Quantico VA, for material processing of any artifacts or debris. Additionally, materials are sent to bases like Wright Patterson Air Force Base, home of the infamous Blue Book: [Wikipedia:] Wright-Patterson AFB is known among those involved with UFO conspiracy theories as the home of Project Blue Book and because of its connection with the Roswell UFO incident of July 1947. Some believe that Hangar 18, assigned to the Air Force’s Foreign Technology Division (FTD) at Wright-Patterson, along with the Area 51 installation in Nevada, contains, or once contained, wreckage of a crashed UFO. In March 1952, the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) established an Aerial Phenomena Group to study the reported sightings, and a new name was assigned to the program—Project Blue Book. Probably the most highly publicized events during the ATIC years, was a series of sightings in Washington, DC, in 1952. —functions as the primary investigative organization for the US Air Force with jurisdiction over fraud, murder, theft, and other crimes requiring investigation. More importantly, their scope also covers intelligence, counterintelligence, and espionage. In fact, for a long time, the OSI had a All OSI agents are required to complete an 11-week course at the US Air Force Special Investigations Academy located at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center overseen by the FBI in Glynco, California. Once the 11-week intelligence-specific course is completed, an OSI recruit completes an additional 8 weeks of OSI training. From 1947 through 1969, the Air Force’s Foreign Technology Division (FTD) and its predecessor organizations studied 12,618 reported sightings. Of these, 701 remained unexplained when Project Blue Book closed and the Air Force purportedly closed its UFO investigations. A 1968 report concluded that “there seems to be no reason to attribute [the unexplained sightings] to an extraterrestrial source without much more convincing evidence.” When Blue Book ended, FTD sent all of its case files to the USAF Historical Research Center at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama. In 1976, the National Archives and Records Service in Washington, DC became the permanent repository of the Project Sign/ Grudge/Blue Book records while the Air Material Command or the Foreign Technology Division at Kirtland AFB www.paranoiamagazine.com issue 52 | summer 2012 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine [Wikipedia:] Office of Scientific Intelligence (OSI) was the name of a department of the Central Intelligence Agency. In 1963, it was incorporated into the Directorate of Science & Technology. Pop culture: The “Office of Scientific Intelligence” was a secret intelligence branch of the American government featured in the 1970s TV series The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman, also the movies Firestarter and The Puppet Masters. It is regularly homaged in the Adult Swim cartoon series The Venture Brothers... When Carroll formed the OSI, he patterned it after the FBI in that members of the OSI refer to themselves only as Special Agents, wear badges, refer to themselves as Government Agents, never wear uniforms but dress in suits or plain clothes appropriate to the assignment. They also drive non-descript government-issued vehicles, be it an Ares K or Lincoln—always unmarked, with government plates. 37

in Albuquerque, New Mexico continued further quiet investigation. Project Blue Book records are littered with reports and analyses by OSI agents. The investigative lead for the 1950’s mysterious fireballs in the Southwest was an OSI agent who eventually organized a scientific panel to look into the phenomenon. The idea that a lone agent had the resources to bring top scientists from around the nation to research such a question is demonstrative of the reach and power of the OSI. The well-documented interrogation of Betty Cash as part of the Cash/ Lindstrom incident had OSI written all over it. The interrogations took place at an air force base and used textbook OSI methodology. The OSI would have been the only ones in the USAF who could carry out such an interrogation. is so sophisticated that graduates speak the learned language with a native dialect. Speak Farsi with an OSI agent on the phone and you would probably have no idea you were speaking to a non-native speaker. While giving overseas agents an advantage in carrying out their intelligence duties, it also means confusing a witness who is being interrogated by US Government Agents in their native language. OSI operations overseas are so pervasive that they are referenced multiple times in the WikiLeaks database as carrying out intelligence operations, often to the dismay of local governments. There is an OSI office or detachment at every Air Force base worldwide, along with agents who are part of the Directorate of Espionage and Sabotage and spy for counterintelligence and counterinsurgency operations. On occasion, some operations are no doubt executed on behalf of the CIA. OSI operations overseas are so pervasive that they are referenced multiple times OSI involvein the WikiLeaks ment in UFO sightings is a slam database as carrying dunk.

In most cases, field agents are unaware of the machinations of political intrigue leading to these assignments, anyway. AFOSI’s International Footprint Espionage being a major function of the OSI, the Air Force invests a lion’s share of resources on its agents, many being sent for advanced training in intelligence and counterintelligence as well as advanced language training at the Defense Language Institute (DLI) in Monterey, California. DLI training 38 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine waters case. After the sighting, Lt. Col. Halt went out for a more detailed look. He and his team were “interviewed” (the OSI term for interrogated) about the event at some length. Here you have a group of security officers being interrogated by the OSI. Deputy Base Commander Halt was interrogated as well. Transcripts and related investigative materials were classified and returned to headquarters—hence the “disappearance” of all relative reports, “disappear” meaning they were likely classified and in the possession of the OSI. The OSI classification strategy effectively prevents these reports from ever seeing the light of day. The OSI is thus the perfect organization for controlling UFO investigations and interrogations. issue 52 | summer 2012 The Air Force Office of Special Investigations is the most likely suspect overseeing the mysterious Men In Black. AFOSI has the means, motive, and opportunity, including global jurisdiction. Its agents have the training, power, and resources to carry out UFO investigations, espionage, and cover-up. The OSI fits the definition to a ‘t.’ So the next time you come into contact with a mysterious, shadowy figure dressed in a black suit, ask for their badge (they have to show it to you) and see if it says United States Air Force Office of Special Investigations.

King Jr.? by Iona Miller They Slew the Dreamer Made another sing their song They Slew the Dreamer But the dream lives on – Gary Revel Governmental agencies caused Martin Luther King to be assassinated . . . They caused this whole thing to happen. And they then proceeded with the powerful means at their disposal to cover this case up. This is a conspiracy . . . and that’s a nasty word. Let justice and truth prevail, else the heavens fall . . . send a message to all of those in power, all of those who manipulate justice in this country that you cannot get away with this. Or if you can get away with it, you can only get away with it for so long. —Dr. William F. Pepper, closing argument, King Family v. Loyd Jowers and Other Unknown Co-conspirators, December 8, 1999. Assassination is the “Dark Hammer” of history, politics having become an endless ritual psychodrama in which every two or four years, the catharsis of election rooted in mutual character assassination unfolds on the corporate media’s World Stage. These “political assassinations” force a toxic collective catharsis with little or no hope for dreams of change. Rhythmic repetition of this cathartic spectacle creates a culture of hyper-vigilant post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We are thus a nation of trauma survivors, a sick society acting out much as a sick individual would. The nation has been subsumed in a dark shadow that goes back to the Triple K Assassinations. Ritual Psychodrama, Ritual Murder In 1935, Carl Jung delivered lectures at the Tavistock Clinic on “The Concept of the Collective Unconscious,” and in 1937 lectured at Yale on “Psychology and Religion.” He called the psyche the sole source of human experience and www.paranoiamagazine.com explained the collective unconscious in a variety of ways, this being one: “In addition to our immediate personal consciousness (which we believe to be the only empirical psyche), there exists a second ‘inherited’ psychic system of a collective, universal, and impersonal nature which is identical in all individuals. It consists of pre-existent forms, the archetypes, which can only become conscious secondarily and which give definite form to certain psychic contents.” Americans have been reconstructed as uniform consumers and are therefore expected to consume official versions of history. Still, psychological operations (psyops) are necessary to manipulating the underlying collective unconscious; in other civilizations and cross-cultures of our multiethnic global “village,” the collective unconscious may require different constellations of influence. Legions of sociologists and psychologists are hired to exploit memes for the marketing of ideas and products and for control over the masses. If the formula is quasi-religious, so much the better. In fact, given that archetypal symbols are embedded in our collective unconscious, our awe, natural attraction, and fascination can be easily manipulated by occult symbols that we have never personally experienced. Media-delivered images are thus implanted in the collective psyche through icons, symbolic acts, predictive programming, and disinformation. Televised psychodramas are written to be iconic and ritualistic. Like mind-body holography, indirect, suggestive influences sink down through the hierarchy of our multilayered psychology until “society” or “culture” feels like a projection on Plato’s cave wall, now an altered perception that is no longer a reality. Staged psychodramas in the trance-enhanced multimedia techno-opera of supercharged imagery actually turn us issue 52 | summer 2012 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine 39

The Lorraine Motel, where Dr. King was assassinated. into our own “hit men” every time we hit the “rewind” button of our PTSD. It keeps “happening,” and the Director’s Cut is the “official explanation.” We are fully involved in the riveting illusory action of the ceremonial psychodrama and after-the-fact revelations in the great American Mystery play. In the case of actual assassination, cover-ups function like unconscious curtains that push real pressing issues into the dark while the probing becomes another psychodrama obsessively elaborating on the plot. “No conspiracy” injunctions are designed to numb as the mundane runs head on into the esoteric. In a climate of covert violence against the collective psyche, we all become the target. Execution of Policy Politicians and cultural engineers use high-stakes psychodramas of political, military, or civil events to push their agendas, then grasp power once we are divided and bewildered. For example, public assassination is psychological warfare that doubles in its mythic dimension as ritualistic drama echoing the ancient practice of the Killing of the Divine King. From the seed of the event—televised slaughter—come the alchemical effects that “trance-form” society: the 40 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine group or “dreaming mind” subsumes daylight consciousness and the subtext seeps in like acid that forces that can get away with such ghastly public demonstrations of power can get away with anything. Manipulation of the public collective unconscious constitutes Masonic hoodwinking at its best or worst. Whether you think in terms of a shadow government or a government Shadow, we all share responsibility for allowing shadow masters who get away with murder, dreaming mind or no dreaming mind. Is sorcery at the root of history, or was it Martin Luther King’s destiny (or misfortune) to embody the Divine King or Black Messiah archetype? One of three of the iconic men making up the “Triple K Assassinations” (JFK, RFK, and MLK), of iconic men who would be kings, King sensed his fate before it claimed him. Whoever the perpetrators were, it is worth considering that the collective psyche mandates a cyclic replay of primordial scapegoat themes—or is it all just a “shock doctrine” imposed by a Star Chamber judge, jury and executioner? Does Rule by Survivorship mimic survival of the fittest or actually derail humanity’s evolutionary arc? issue 52 | summer 2012 Mythic Politics The ancient belief regarding kings was that the divine life incarnates for a time in a material and mortal body but must eventually be liberated from the increasing enfeeblement of human foibles and years and transferred to a vigorous successor. From ritual killings of Irish kings to Masonic “Killing of the King” rituals, the old representative of the god is killed and the divine spirit liberated to enter a new incarnation. This sacrifice is always associated implicitly, and sometimes explicitly, with a revival or resurrection in a more youthful, vigorous form. Far from extinguishing the divine spirit, such ritual slayings attempted to avail society of a purer and stronger leadership. Perhaps presidential elections mimic this process. While the old ritual sought to transmit the soul of the slain divinity to a successor, it did not seek to kill the collective dream of freedom within each member of society, as King’s assassination did. This King had encouraged the audacity to dream of a positive future, and when he was slain so ignominiously, the courage to dream within each and every one of us died and no successor appeared. Rather like www.paranoiamagazine.com

the Jesus story of the Second Coming, something in us may still be waiting. In any overt or covert political action, we must look to the generalized effect on the populace. In the case of the Triple K Assassinations, it has been shock, confusion, and demoralization. In general, people assume it was yet another government-perpetrated power grab and that they can do nothing about it. and died there for a lie. Some said the assassin was an Army sniper under orders of Department of Defense dirty tricks and Brigadier General William P. Yarborough. All of it requires investigation and exposure. Gregory published Code Name “Zorro”: The Murder of Martin Luther King, Jr. Telling questions facing the HSCA: Raoul the Handler Why was the same FBI squad, which was originally assigned to “destroy” King, also directed to investigate his murder? The official story of James Earl Ray, a drifter and ex-convict, shooting the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with a single bullet at the Lorraine Motel on April 4, 1968 simply does not fly. Ray spent three decades in prison Ray insisted that he was framed by a CIA contract agent named Raul (Raoul). General Yarborough knew and secured Raul’s assistance. From Portugal, Raoul had served in Angola. Ray’s lawyer, Mark Lane, along with Dick Gregory, drafted proposed legislation to establish a Select Committee of the House of Representatives to investigate the assassinations of Dr. King and President Kennedy. Following the Hart-Schweiker and Church Committee hearings that revealed CIA ties to other assassinations and assassination attempts, the U.S. House of Representatives Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) was set up in 1976 to investigate the JFK, MLK, and Governor George Wallace shootings. The HSCA attempted to prove that Ray’s Raoul was Ray’s brother Jerry. Neither of Ray’s brothers were charged., and of course James Earl Ray could not provide any concrete proof that Raoul even existed. How could he when undercover types remain in the shadows or get burned? In 1977, Lane and www.paranoiamagazine.com issue 52 | summer 2012 Whitewashed Black Leader Questions from the Sixties era still haunt our nation, the murders of John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, and Martin Luther King being the tragic milestones of some road no longer open. Many still grieve, unable to pinpoint the societal origin of their confusion, depression, and anger. These assassinations inflicted deep wounds on the body politic that refuse to heal because of “Band-Aid” cover-ups instead of digging out the truth. The MLK files remain sealed and will not be declassified until 2028. Why was Dr. King’s police protection removed on the day of the assassination? –and by whom? What did the ballistics tests reveal—or fail to reveal—about the alleged murder weapon? In what strange way has the most reliable witness been prevented, perhaps forever, from testifying in court? To what documented lengths did certain FBI men go to threaten King and suggest that he commit suicide rather than accept the Nobel Peace Prize? What of the mysterious “Raoul”— the man whom Ray claims masterminded and financed his movements before the murder? When the HSCA wrapped up in 1979, much of their final report was sealed for 50 years. The King family still believes that Ray, who died of liver disease in 1998, was not the killer. Dexter King, Dr. King’s son, visited Ray on his paranoia: the conspiracy magazine 41

deathbed. “The government killed my father,” Dexter King told him, “not you.” But Ray’s family finally got some of the vindication they deserved. Their attempts at a criminal trial denied— suspect James Ray’s recant of what he claimed was a false confession was denied—they were able in 1999 to bring the civil trial King Family v. Jowers and Other Unknown Co-Conspirators in Memphis. Dr. William Pepper, longtime King family friend and author of Orders to Kill: The Truth Behind the Murder of Martin Luther King (1995), was a lawyer. Seventy witnesses testified under oath, and 4,000 pages of transcripts described the evidence, much of it new. The jury came back in 59 minutes exonerating nowdeceased James Earl Ray and finding that Lloyd Jowers, owner of Jim’s Grill, had participated in the conspiracy to kill King—a conspiracy including J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI, Richard Helms and the CIA, the military, the Memphis police department, and organized crime. cut down at the scene, which multiple witnesses reported hid a sniper team. Along with sanitizing a crime scene, police abandoned investigative procedure to interview witnesses who lived by the scene of the shooting (Revel). Pepper’s witnesses included Glenda Grabow who was told by Raoul that he had killed or assisted in killing King. Grabow worked for Fercy Foreman, who told her that Ray had to be “sacrificed” for their welfare, despite being innocent. Beverly Oliver, Chari Angel, and Madeleine Brown all picked Raoul out of a photo lineup as a man they saw with Jack Ruby at his Carousel Club in Dallas. Ray’s alias after he tried to escape, “Eric S. Galt,” belonged to a man with highlevel security clearance. An ex-British merchant seaman named Carthew testified that he was offered rifles by Raoul in the 1960s. One of Pepper’s military sources known as Warren picked Raoul out of a photo lineup as the man he had seen with Zip Chimento who ran Carlos Marcello’s gun-running operation out of New Orleans. In the end, the jury found the government guilty of conspiring to murder King. Testimony revealed that a very sophisticated operation to kill Dr. King was hatched in the bowels of the Pentagon. King’s family had been under surveillance by the U.S. government since the 1920s. Overwhelming evidence of government complicity was found by the jury to be valid: the 111th Military Intelligence Group had been sent to King’s location; the usual police protection had been pulled away just before the assassination; military Intelligence had photographers on the roof of a fire station with a clear view to King’s balcony; the 20th Special Forces Group had an 8-man sniper team at the assassination location. Subsequent to the shooting, Memphis police ordered bushes 42 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine During the trial and in his 1995 book, Orders to Kill: The Truth Behind the Murder of Martin Luther King, Jr., Pepper described Carthew as a “British Nationalist,” probably aware that most Americans would think this meant he was simply patriotic. But British Nationalist Carthew was a committed racist from West Yorkshire, an activist who supported the British National Party, a political organization with close links to neo-fascist terror groups like Combat 18. If the Jowers’ jury had known about Carthew’s past, they might have concluded that the UK racist had given his support to Ray for ideological reasons. issue 52 | summer 2012 In the end, the jury found the government guilty of conspiring to murder King. In one of the biggest media cover-ups ever, the media boycotted this historic trial and its government-damning verdict remains largely unknown to the public. One of the only articles was a Dec. 9, 1999 New York Times piece entitled “Memphis Jury Sees Conspiracy in Martin Luther King’s Killing,” stating, “In an unlikely alliance, the King family was represented in the [Memphis wrongful death] case by William Pepper, who had been Mr. Ray’s lawyer. The King family maintained that Mr. Pepper’s version of the assassination is the one that gets at the real truth behind Dr. King’s death, not the official version with Mr. Ray as the gunman. Mr. Pepper said federal, state, and Memphis governmental agencies, as well as the news media, conspired in the assassination.” King Family v. Jowers and Other Unknown Co-Conspirators was the only trial ever conducted on King’s assassination. Media collusion continues. On April 3, 2008, a CNN Special entitled Black in America: Eyewitness to Murder, Soledad O’Brien tried in vain to convince America that James Earl Ray escaped from Missouri State Prison and tracked MLK from coast to coast before MLK miraculously came out on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel at the exact moment Ray was taking aim through the bathroom window of the boarding house, despite the fact that the bullet has never been linked to Ray’s rifle. Why would CNN take the trouble forty years to the day after the assassination to validate disinformation by restating the same old lies? Many Americans want answers now beyond tired official stories that accuse hypno-patsies. The 1955 CIA document, “Hypnosis and Covert Operations,” released through the FOIA as MORI 428311, describes brainwashing/programming techniques. According to James Earl Ray’s brother John, James was a military policeman in the Army for a year and a half in the 382nd MP Battalion and later joined the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) known as the CIA after 1947. “When James www.paranoiamagazine.com

joined the CIA, he was given a new U.S. Army serial number,” John said. Later, James said: “When you join the OSS, it’s like joining the Mafia, you never leave.” He was assigned a “handler” who manipulated and directed him for the rest of his life. Was that handler Raoul? Those who know the ropes at the CIA say “Raoul” didn’t behave like a CIA staffer or case officer. This is true; he was neither. He was a trained handler of agents working for intelligence agencies. Criminal Conspiracies Former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney sponsored the 2005 version of the MLK Records Act, HR 2554, which had 67 co-sponsors at the time McKinney left office at the end of 2006. A Senate version of the bill (S 2499) was introduced by Senator John Kerry and was co-signed by Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. The bill received numerous other endorsements from former HSCA members. McKinney also conducted a Congressional Panel entitled “Murder of MLK,” attended by former CIA Case Officer Leutrell Osborne, Sr. McKinney had TV’s popular Judge Joe Brown appear on the panel, but he was removed due to alleged bias after announcing unequivocally that the rifle known to all Americans as the murder weapon was not the murder weapon. until March 1971 when secret files were removed from an FBI office and released to news media. Freedom of Information requests, lawsuits, and former agents’ public confessions deepened the exposure until a major scandal loomed. To control the damage and re-establish government legitimacy in the wake of Vietnam and Watergate, Congress and the courts compelled the FBI to reveal part of what it had done and to promise it would not do it again (Glick). But the truth is that domestic covert action and psychological warfare did not end and now continues under PATRIOT Act II. Chairman Sub-Committee on Assassinations; Mark Lane; McKinney; Cyril Wecht, Pathologist; attorney Arthur Hanes, who represented James Earl Ray at one point; and attorney James Lesar, who testified about the window from which the fatal shot was allegedly fired. The panelists discussed their investigations, research, and Congressional efforts around the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King.

Edgar Hoover declared a vendetta What McKinney couldn’t say was that the coordination of government activities intended to neutralize Dr. King was part and parcel of COINTELPRO, an FBI “dirty tricks” program to neutralize civilian political adversaries. The FBI set out to eliminate “radical” political opposition inside the U.S. When traditional modes of repression (exposure, blatant harassment, prosecution for political crimes, discrediting, marginalizing, investigation by the IRS, etc.) failed to counter the growing insurgency and even helped to fuel it, the Bureau secretly used fraud and force to sabotage constitutionally protected political activity in tandem with the CIA’s domestic espionage program established in 1967 and known as Operation CHAOS. COINTELPRO was strictly extralegal. Its existence wasn’t discovered www.paranoiamagazine.com 43

perpetrators. Osborne, the “Black Man in the CIA,” asks: “Is the identification of the assassin of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as or more important than resolving many of the racial issues that top the news today?” The answer of the Committee is, “Definitely. The nation and world still await an answer that satisfies.” Friends of the Committee include government-appointed undercover Special Agent Revel, Dick Gregory, William Pepper, and civil rights leader Rev. Ed King. Osborne has also interviewed attorney Ray Kohlman, investigative journalist Mike Ruppert, former U.S. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Housing/Federal Housing Commissioner Catherine Austin Fitts, and many more in order to clarify the MLK assassination. What is new to most is the revelation that COINTELPRO included both FBI and CIA, though many suspected that the CIA had (illegally) gone domestic. As a 26-year veteran CIA Case Officer and Counter Intelligence expert, Osborne can back this up. “I understood and performed duties to identify, analyze, and neutralize adversary intelligence persons and activities as well as drug dealers when I was in the CIA prior to l984.” From his website: against him, tracking his every movement on the pretext of Communist associations. The FBI’s codename for Dr. King was “Zorro.” Dr. King was targeted for “executive action” because the powers that be could not tolerate a “Black Messiah” on the political scene. How paradoxical, then, to martyr him, but his political rhetoric was increasingly anti-Vietnam War. So besides marshaling civil rights followers, King was rallying peace movement advocates and radical dissidents. Next, he would rally the poor to him during the Poor People’s March planned for the summer of 1968. Partners in the overall criminal conspiracy included the FBI, U.S. government officials, the CIA, the Mafia, and a network of drug money laundering businesses around the 44 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine globe to keep it all running smoothly. Burglaries, extortion, violence, psychological operations, and even murder were in their bag of dirty tricks. They used innocent law abiding citizens, government officials, shadowy covert operatives and criminals—from small time petty crooks like James Earl Ray to Mafia Dons like Carlos Marcello (Revel). Martin Luther King Truth Committee In 2008, Leutrell Osborne & Associates formed an activist committee to further investigate the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and report its findings to the global community by the 40th anniversary of his death, April 4, 2008. The Martin Luther King Truth Committee seeks to identify the issue 52 | summer 2012 Those of us in the intelligence industry know that the term ‘neutralize’ has specific meanings that even include assassination. Osborne suggests we know without doubt that the U.S. government agencies led by the FBI performed intelligence activities to neutralize Dr. King, Jr. The only reason I am not able to state that more emphatically is because we need the individuals who know about the actual details to come forward and become sincere whistle blowers if that is possible at this late date, over forty years after the fact. As a dedicated veteran CIA Case Officer who made his reputation on CI investigations, my knowledge of COINTELPRO and information from at least one credible source leaves no doubt that the Government and organized crime collaborated in 1968 in the assassination of Dr. King, Jr. Both James Earl Ray and Lloyd Jowers were patsies who did not assassinate Dr. King, Jr. However, they were used by these forces to confuse www.paranoiamagazine.com

and muddy the waters around the assassination. I can still hear the words of one source who told me that he was under cover meeting with organized crime leaders like Carlos Marcello, when the source learned that Frank Camille Liberto (the reigning Memphis, Tennessee mob boss) received orders to ‘kill him,’ meaning Dr. King, Jr. The King family accused Liberto in court of advancing money to further the conspiracy. I consider this topic of COINTELPRO one of the most devastating historical facts in my life and I am ready to talk about COINTELPRO. It is fascinating that my story begins in l964 when I met Dr. King, Jr. the day after he received the Nobel Peace Prize. The CIA allowed me to note the details in the first book of “The Dark Operative Series,” The Black Man in the CIA. In l968 when I was a clerical level CIA employee, I wanted to make a name for myself so I discussed the cable slug COINTELPRO with my supervisor, who told me that COINTELPRO was a counterintelligence program of the FBI. I even raise the question in the story whether my supervisor was lying or did not know that COINTELPRO was a Covert Action (CA) Intelligence Operation against U.S. citizens especially Native Americans and Black people. William Sullivan and Revel’s Wake-Up Call Like many African-Americans, Leutrell “Mike” Osborne is somewhat familiar with the now-deceased FBI Director of Domestic Intelligence William Sullivan killed in 1977 a week before he was to testify before the HSCA. Sullivan directed the “Destroy King Squad,” a covert action intelligence operation that was part of the larger operation known as COINTELPRO (Counter Intelligence Program). If assassination was an authorized tool in their tool belt, then they surely completed their assignment. What can be learned of Sullivan’s career comes from his posthumously published autobiography, My Thirty Years in Hoover’s FBI, as well as from FBI files, news articles, and press accounts. In 1977, Gary Revel was 27 years old in a simple part-time that placed him at the vortex of one of history’s major events: he was commissioned to www.paranoiamagazine.com go undercover to find the King killers. Investigating the cover-up to King’s assassination was no easy task: no one believed him and witnesses and family members were dropping dead—even the Mafia told him to back off. Special Investigator Revel met Sullivan in 1977 during his investigation and saw a side most never saw. Sullivan had become disgusted by the FBI’s abuse of basic human rights, even challenging J. Edgar Hoover in 1972, saying essentially “Either you go or I go.” The next day, Hoover locked him out of his office and shortly after that, Sullivan resigned. His goal in 1977 was to lay his cards on the table before the HSCA and give the committee and the American people the truth about Hoover’s hatred of King, President John Kennedy, and Presidential Candidate Robert Kennedy. Sullivan had unique knowledge of how the FBI worked with the CIA when it came to Hoover’s plans to neutralize the human rights activities of African-American leaders and their supporters. supposedly mistook Sullivan for a deer and shot and killed him. Daniels was fined $500 for the “accidental” death, while those with the most to lose no doubt rejoiced in Sullivan’s “accident.” Revel says he is still trying to unravel the bizarre deaths related to the King assassination and the HSCA—official suicides, accidents, and “heart attacks” under unusual circumstances— that happened that year. On the official side, there was Sullivan and five other FBI or former FBI officials scheduled to testify before the Church Committee. All died mysteriously within six months, with three of “heart attacks”: Donald Kaylor, a fingerprint expert who had worked on the JFK assassination evidence; Alan Belmont and Louis Nicholas, special assistants to J. Edgar Hoover; JFK assassination document examiner and expert James Cadigan; J.M. English, an expert on the rifle that supposedly killed President John F. Kennedy, along with the head of the FBI Forensic Sciences Laboratory. Two judges in Tennessee planning to give James Earl Ray the trial he never had conveniently died of “heart attacks.” As Osborne says, where there’s fire, there’s smoke. Is the identification of the assassin of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as or more important than resolving many of the racial issues that top the news today?... Definitely. The nation and world still await an answer that satisfies. A few months before he was to testify, he met with at least one person and most likely others who provided information and files that would be the basis of an investigation into King’s killers— evidence now lost, thanks to government tampering and interference. Special Investigator Revel’s home was ransacked twice, once during an eviction—such “evictions” were a COINTELPRO signature—and all his files on the King case disappeared. Then came the “hunting accident” that prevented Sullivan’s testimony. A young man named Robert Daniels issue 52 | summer 2012 But the deaths struck Revel personally, as well. His 19-year-old brother Cecil Ray Fillingame, Jr. was hanged in his mother’s garage in Ocoee, Florida, and his cousin’s husband Ivan Riley, an experienced electrical power worker, died of an electrical shock while working on a power line. What alarmed Revel about these last two deaths was the knowledge that Revel had uncharacteristically shared information about paranoia: the conspiracy magazine 45

his investigation with both just days before their deaths. Since being hired in 1977, Revel has not been fired, decommissioned, told the job was done, nor been paid because the stark reality is that the King killers have not yet been found. As the only officially appointed undercover investigator of the MLK assassination, Revel doesn’t mince words when he names names: Lyndon Baines Johnson, J. Edgar Hoover, Vito Genovese, Santo Trafficante, Jr., Sam Giancana, Meyer Lansky, Joseph Colombo, Frank Costello, Don Carlo Gambino, Joseph Bonnano, Paul Castellano, Carlos Marcello, and the CIA’s E. Howard Hunt. He wrote a song called They Slew the Dreamer and is currently trying to bring his spellbinding and controversial story to film—an idea Hollywood is strangely resistant to. and maintaining the existing social and political order.” Osborne details five insights into past government “dirty tricks” and illegal activities that dispute this: 1. From 1956 to the early 1970s, the secret domestic intelligence operations of the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) for the most part were performed without upper level political leaders of the U.S. government like the Presidents and Attorney Generals knowing the truth. Meanwhile, key elements of the IC deployed dirty trick specialists from the FBI, CIA, and Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) against so-called enemies of the state such as dissidents and the peace movement, making secret war on select individuals and groups, particularly Blacks and Native Americans. One of the main objectives of the secret so-called counterintelligence program COINTELPRO was to prevent the rise of a “black messiah.” Those who travel to a place beyond reason and continue to defend the official stories of lone assassins and thorough investigations simply haven’t gotten it yet. Though they differ on the particulars, all those in the loosely knit unofficial Truth Committee agree that the truth about the slaying of the dreamer has not been publicly acknowledged. They are committed to making that truth known. All operate at tremendous personal risk. All deplore and fight injustice and corruption. COINTELPRO and Covert Action Since 1956, the FBI has used domestic covert action operations, their stated motivation being “protecting national security, preventing violence, 46 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine 2. The FBI was not alone in doing these dirty deeds. Other members of the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) [a coalition of 17 agencies and organizations within the Executive Branch] collaborated and conducted the dirty tricks alongside the FBI’s COINTELPRO. 3. COINTELPRO was not a counterintelligence operation. It was a Covert Action Intelligence Operation equal to, if not better than, what the CIA could perform. 4. Most of the so-called adversaries were not really “bad” people, but the nature of dirty trick operations by the U.S. government made these persons appear “dirtier” than they were. 5. Several CIA components performed illegal domestic dirty tricks intelligence activities in concert with the FBI’s COINTELPRO. As an IC issue 52 | summer 2012 activity, COINTELPRO “neutralized” and fabricated threats against individuals and organizations. The IC strove to sow distrust and disinformation, utilizing a controlled system of informants and provocateurs against various individuals and organizations. COINTELPRO was an unconstitutional clandestine activity meant to shape and manipulate the sociopolitical landscape by preventing or disrupting the exercise of First Amendment rights and advocacy by suppressing speaking, teaching, meeting, writing, and publishing. Vigilante-style domestic covert action and propaganda was used against American citizens. Agents infiltrated, manipulated and disabled organizations, conducted “dirty tricks” psychological warfare, and abused the legal system with warrantless break-ins, stalking, assaults and beatings. They inflicted physical, emotional and economic damage, and did not stop short of using assassinations to “neutralize” their adversaries (Church Report). One of the main objectives of the secret so-called counterintelligence program COINTELPRO was to prevent the rise of a “black messiah.” Surveillance was heavy on Malcolm X, the Black Panthers, NAACP, and Rev. King, as well as other Black nationalists. The legacy of this domestic spying continues to this day in the lies and continued persecution of political targets, such as former Black Panther Mumia Abu-Jamal who has been imprisoned thus far for three decades. Andrew Young stated that he and Dr. King knew they were under surveillance, and when Dr. King was in Oslo for the Nobel Peace Prize, he personally told Osborne that the government was watching him and his people in the U.S. In his 2008 book, Truth At Last, James Earl Ray’s older brother John Larry Ray claims forensic evidence that exonerates his brother. He also says Ray was inducted into the CIA, then used as a patsy. He blames “white America,” but the government is not the country. “Martin Luther King Jr. was a man admired by millions, but my brother didn’t kill him,” John told www.paranoiamagazine.com

the New York Daily News. “I believe my brother was not only misused by conspirators within our government but also greatly misconstrued as a ‘racist’ and a ‘murderer’ by the media.” Osborne is emphatic about COINTELPRO’s role in domestic control: Let me frame one of the most important insights into the events surrounding the assassination of Dr. King, Jr. that I, Leutrell “Mike” Osborne, Sr., am able to state as of 04-09-10. First, ignore every mention of COINTELPRO as a counterintelligence operation of the FBI. COINTELPRO was not counterintelligence. The FBI led a domestic dirty tricks intelligence operation known by the acronym COINTELPRO, a covert action intelligence operation equal to if not better than one led and directed by the CIA clandestine service spy masters that I worked with in the past. This may be the most important insight I have for you to understand. Covert Action (CA) as I define it included both assassinations and collaboration with intelligence operation resources such as organized crime and international hit persons. That is the way CA used to be, even though there are rules of the game that tend to state that the U.S. government doesn’t participate in such activities today. We are discussing the past. Further, it is enlightening that much of the COINTELPRO or COINTEL FACTOR (as I prefer to call it) was not performed so that neither the White House nor the Attorney General knew in advance what was taking place. This observation is based on my research and reading so-called official documents. the only true link is the coordinator and agent handler known as Raul. it wasn’t or hadn’t been them, it would be or would have been others.” In my opinion Raul had the attributes of a person trained by Spy Masters but Raul is not what I call a Case Officer, per se. However, he has the attributes that tend to resemble a “trained agent or asset who knows how to handle agents” or people like Ray and Jowers in this case. During my life I have been blessed to meet people who have firsthand knowledge of COINTELPRO and the related events concerning the assassination of Dr. King, Jr. Osborne eliminates Hunt from the shadowy picture of the assassination, whereas Revel points to the artist drawing of the man coming out of the bathroom in the boarding house. In a personal letter to this author, Revel wrote: E. Howard Hunt Again? Based on personal interviews with James Earl Ray, Special Investigator Revel suggests that there were several “Rauls” or “Raouls,” and all were covers. Revel then counters Pepper’s theory and names former CIA officer and White House Watergate secret agent E. Howard Hunt once again holding the bag. Hunt died in January 2007. Revel notes, “There are many Hunt and Sturgis-like characters around still today. They can be hired or conscripted into killing people by more powerful people like President Lyndon Baines Johnson and FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. Their roles in the killing of MLK were important but did not make the crime. If I have found that James Earl Ray was not in that bathroom from where it is claimed the shot was fired and further Ray did not have the character of a cold blooied killer who calmly with one shot destroyed the hopes and dreams of millions by killing such a great man. E. Howard Hunt was the Team Leader of a group of assassins that included former CIA operatives (employed or contracted) and Mafia Assets. James Earl Ray was a patsy, like Lee Harvey Oswald and Sirhan Sirhan, set up to take the fall for the killing. Oversight of the crime scene and homicide investigation was supervised and directed by Frank Holloman—the appointed Director of the Memphis Police and Fire Department. President Lyndon B. Johnson made the orders to terminate in association with J. Edgar Hoover and the Italian Organized Crime group, aka Mafia. The motive for the killing was MLK’s public stand against the Vietnam War. That stand was considered by U.S. National Security Officials as a threat to them and their policies as well as a threat to the economic fortunes of Further, many of the DOJ and FBI post investigations in my opinion confused matters and did not include persons doing the investigation who had a paradigm of a CIA Spy Master like me and others who understand the protocols and downside of CA intelligence operations. Plus many departments and agencies in the Intelligence Community collaborated both wittingly and unwittingly during the COINTEL FACTOR in the dirty tricks against U.S. citizens. One more point and I will hold for now. Also discount the misinformation about James Earl Ray.

Perpetual suspicion, even of one another, goes with the territory. the Mafia (billions of dollars made by the Mafia via the Heroin Pipeline). The pipeline began in Burma and was strung by sea and air via Southeast Asia to the rest of the world. Most of it ended up on the streets of the biggest cities in the U.S. The presence of U.S. Military in Southeast Asia protected that pipeline for the Mafia. If the Vietnam War had ended earlier the Mafia would have lost billions of dollars in illegal drug and black market weapons sales. When it finally ended in 1975 the Mafia’s cash cow from illegal drug sales changed to the cocaine trade from Colombia. If E. Howard Hunt was in Dallas on November 22, 1963 and in Memphis on April 4, 1968, Osborne asks, Why was he there? If it is true, as James Earl Ray believed, that Hunt was with Raoul and others in Memphis and planning to meet with individuals who wanted to buy weapons, then what does the CIA know about Hunt’s assignment on that day? If Hunt was a member of that group, there should be a CIA document that would prove it, and if he wasn’t, then where was he on April 4, 1968?

They Slew the Dreamer In 2006, Leutrell Osborne interviewed Gary Revel in Los Angeles Osborne: What was the setup in 1977? Revel: In 1977, I was investigating the Martin Luther King Jr. assassination. I worked with and for attorneys Jack Kershaw, Mary Kershaw, and Mark Lane in a unique arrangement with and for the HSCA. At that time, I operated undercover. Osborne: How did the song called They Slew the Dreamer develop out of investigating the King case? Revel: After meeting James Earl Ray and hearing his story, I learned enough to know that Ray did NOT shoot King. There were others involved in King’s death, so I began my own investigation. During that time, I wrote the song, They Slew the Dreamer, about Dr. King. I recorded the song in Nashville, Tennessee at the famed Acuff-Rose recording studios. Acuff-Rose was the top country music publisher in the world. They had hundreds of top-ten pop and rock songs as well as country. Some of my songs had been signed by their ASCAP branch called Milene Music Inc. Included was the song They Slew the Dreamer. Osborne: What happened after the song was recorded? Revel: The record was released not long after it was recorded during the summer of 1977. It was released on Jack Kershaw’s Rebel Records label as a single. Soon afterwards, a negative story with a large picture of the record sleeve appeared on the front page of the local afternoon newspaper, The Nashville Banner. Under the record sleeve which prominently displayed my name and the name of the record was a picture of a t-shirt with Ray’s image and the words “I Didn’t Do It.” Included was an editorialized www.paranoiamagazine.com caption that read, “James Earl Ray Promotion Gimmicks.” Osborne: How was airplay and record sales affected by the news story? Revel: After the story came out, promotion of my record by Acuff-Rose came to an immediate halt. All the planned airplay promotion was pulled. My calls to radio stations promoting my song were not well received. The lack of interest was not only for that song but all other songs I released over the next several years. All Nashville recording artists who had indicated an earlier interest in my songs suddenly reversed their interest. A songwriter needs others to record his songs as well as himself if he is to be successful. The folks at Acuff-Rose that worked with me included Roy Acuff, Wesley Rose, Johnny Erdelyan, and Roy Acuff, Jr. They were disappointed in the federal government’s interference in the music business but were helpless to remedy the situation. would keep me alive. That is why I worked fast to gain knowledge about this case. During the late 1960’s and into the 1970’s, highly classified Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) intelligence files were inadvertently released and were accessible for limited research. The things that could be learned from those files provided me enough intelligence to avoid serious problems. I was lucky to have access to those files early in my investigation. Osborne: With the knowledge out that you were investigating the case of Dr. King, and with mysterious deaths occurring, were you concerned about your own safety? Osborne: If so, why didn’t they kill you, too? Revel: As I worked undercover, there was no public knowledge that I was investigating the case of Dr. King. My cover was that I was a Nashville songwriter, a business associate and friend of Jack and Mary Kershaw. Writing and recording songs was a natural development due to my friendship with Jack. Most of the publicity was about the case. Previously, I had a couple of single record releases, Little Did We Know and Peanut Man prior to They Slew the Dreamer. Both of the previous songs were on Jack’s Rebel label as well, so it did not appear that I was involved other than as a songwriter and recording artist. Somebody, an editor or publisher or both at the Nashville Banner, effectively destroyed the commercial success of my music with that one front-page story. After years of investigation, study, and research, I can only conclude that it was the federal government behind it. Revel: One of the things I learned early in this case was that knowing a little would get me killed but knowing more than others knew Osborne: What evidence do you have today that federal government types were operating in or around your investigation? Osborne: What is your opinion today of how this all came about? Revel: I believe the editorialized front-page story was a secret federal government operation active in my investigation of the King murder. These operations include other murders or so-called accidental deaths of several people within a six-month period. These people were closely associated with me or they were scheduled to testify before the HSCA. issue 52 | summer 2012 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine 49

Revel: A friend and business associate, Robert Barr, a CPA from Nashville, told me that FBI Special Agent Vern Gauby was investigating my interest in the King case. One of the methods Gauby used was to visit with Barr. During casual conversations, he would bring up my name and ask questions related to my investigation. Bob was a friend of Jack Kershaw and was one of very few people aware of my work. The FBI office in Memphis only recently told me that Special Agent Joseph H. Trimbach oversaw the investigation related to my interest in the King case. Much later, I learned of the FBI Method of Operating (MO) related to evictions. After Gauby retired from the FBI, he worked for the City of Nashville, Tennessee and reportedly used residential and business evictions to exercise control for political purposes. Within a few months after the demise of the commercial prospects for my song, I too was evicted from my apartment. During the chaos of moving, files related to my investigation disappeared. Osborne: Did you ever try again to get your song out? Revel: In 1979, I released an album titled Revel on my own Star City Records Inc. label. The song They Slew the Dreamer was included on that album. Dave Cavanaugh of Capitol Records in Hollywood had a copy of the album. Cavanaugh asked me to come back to Hollywood where we could sign a deal giving Capitol the rights to release and distribute the album on one of their labels. In February of 1980, I moved myself with my family to Hollywood where I had lived from 1969-1972. There I delivered the stampers (metal plates used to manufacture records) for the album to Cavanaugh at Capitol Records. He told me New fiction by Elana Freeland Told from the perspective of 2019, when all the Earth is convulsing and the United States of America is collapsing. Sub Rosa America and the Fall of the New Atlantis is the occult history of the United States since November 22, 1963 that we all could have read years ago... if we’d been on Route 66 cruising through a quantum time field . AVAILABLE ONLINE NOW E-Book download or Print on demand hard copy www.SubrosaAmerica.com he would quickly put the deal together. I did not hear back from him right away. Weeks passed before I started to inquire about our project. My calls were not returned. Eventually, his secretary told me he had gotten sick shortly after our meeting. My deal was sidetracked but she would talk to Cavanaugh to check when it could be finished. Weeks turned into months, then one day I called. I was told he was dead. When I asked if I could come to pick up my stampers, I learned that they had been lost. Osborne: There are reports that you are getting radio airplay on your songs. What has happened lately that seems to be changing for you and your music? Revel: A few years back, Sony bought the Acuff-Rose music company, including the songs I had written in the 1970’s. They Slew the Dreamer is one of those songs. Now most of the songs from the Star City Records Inc. are on a CD album called Deep Mountain Lake. I released that on my own label, Jongleur Music. All the songs are all published by Sony/ATV Milene Music based in Nashville, Tennessee, which is owned by Sony/ATV BMG now. Osborne: Is your work on the King case and your work with your music motivated by your desire to sell records, or is there something else going on? Revel: I know of no songwriter or recording artist who would touch this subject matter by assuming it would help their music career. I wrote the song from a desire and an inspiration to share truth with others. The fact that the song is finally getting played on the radio is partially due to growing knowledge by the public of the King assassination case. The more the public learns about the truth, the harder it is for the federal government to lie about it. Osborne: It has been said that you are a former Naval Intelligence officer and once Naval Intelligence always Naval Intelligence. Are you still working for the federal government yourself? Is this just window dressing for operations by the Feds? Revel: If I were still working undercover, I would simply lie and say, “No, I don’t work for the federal government.” In fact, in a de facto way I am still working for them. They commissioned me in 1977 to find the King killers. Since then, I have not been fired, decommissioned, told the job was done, or anything else. Neither have I been paid. The stark reality is that the King killers have not yet been found. However, the lyrics in They Slew the Dreamer were written in 1977 but will ring true eternally. The federal government continues to say that HE slew the dreamer, referring to James Earl Ray. I made it clear in 1977 that I didn’t believe that and that instead of he, I wrote They Slew the Dreamer. This was not a welcome concept to my government then and is not today. That is why there continues to be real fear within our government and the business world concerning my recording. I can say that if I am still working for the federal government, it is in a bizarre and complicated kind of way. Should I do my job well enough, then individuals that are still alive could go to federal prison for conspiracy in the murder of Martin Luther King, Jr.

Profiles in Parapolitical Research by Kenn Thomas Brothers, Where Art Thou? Long time JFK assassination activist William Kelly writes: “Since no Hollywood or New York producer will develop his book into a film, David Talbot decided to do it himself. David’s book Brother: The Hidden History of the Kennedy Years is one of the best books on the Kennedy administration and the assassination, and David has already done other things that indicate he’s quite capable of doing this - doing it really well and with style.” Kelly goes on to explain that Talbot took years off from his job at Salon, the online opinionator site that he helped found, to research and write Brothers, but has returned there now while simultaneously trying to raise funds to create a documentary based on his Brothers research. Brothers is in the company of JFK and the Unspeakable by James Douglass, both books head and shoulders above Victor Bugliosi’s insult to history. Unlike conspiracy rants so put down in larger media, Brothers has the unique advantage of being less about the assassination and more about the parapolitical set up that led to it, i.e. the mutual antipathy between the Kennedy brothers and the soldiers and spooks of the military-industrial complex. For his documentary, Talbot has interviewed many people still around from the Kennedy administration and reviewed the most recently released government documents from the period. His conclusion is that JFK and RFK and their closest advisors defiantly opposed the military brass that wanted to expand the Vietnam war not just as a matter of policy but from the vantage point of leadership style. There is some discussion of the influence of Mary Pinchot Meyer, the woman who preoccupied JFK’s mind with ideas of peace and love just before he was assassinated, maybe even exposing him to LSD. The fundraising brochure for the documentary explains: “The United States was deeply damaged by the assassinations of John and Robert Kennedy—twin traumas that set the country on a course of violence and greed from which we continue to suffer today. John and Robert Kennedy were not killed by lone nuts. They were murdered for a reason. No president since JFK or major presidential candidate since RFK has displayed the courage or commitment to challenge the permanent war complex that has ruled America since World War II. Until Americans fully understand their own hidden history, they will be doomed to keep repeating it .

. . And yet the dramatic movies and TV shows now being churned out by Hollywood including Joel Surnow’s trashy TV miniseries on the Kennedys and Tom Hanks’ forthcoming HBO miniseries about the JFK assassination—once again grossly distort the crucial Kennedy story. These Hollywood dramas continue to portray the Kennedys as corrupt playboys not worthy of America’s tears, or cover up their assassinations all over again as the work of crazy misfits.” With no support for Salon implied, Talbot’s work is worthy of attention. Despite official government efforts to the contrary, the tide of historical understanding has come to favor the idea of conspiracy in the JFK assassination. A documentary based on David Talbot’s research, much like his book, would appeal to the unwashed, and may open up the public conversation. That’s really what’s left to do. Parapolitcal researchers know this. A decent documentary might advance the cause or at least begin it for the dwindling numbers that might be taken in by the poor “lone nut” productions. Talbot’s plea: ”Please join me in this effort by either contributing financially or connecting me to wealthy individuals who might be so inclined. If you’re willing to host ºundraising parties at your home where we can make a presentation, this would also be very helpful. All contributions will be tax-deductible.” David Talbot’s documentary effort can be found online at: jfkcountercoup.blogspot.com/2011/09/ david-talbot-true-kennedy-story.html Remembering Sherman Skolnick “If we can’t deal with them on the law and the facts, we’ve got to deal with them on the dirt.” Sherman Skolnick shaped his life to this 52 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine principle until he passed away in May 2006.

Skolnick being a lifelong paraplegic, his folks tried to set up an investment that would pay dividends to their son. Instead, a crooked lawyer bilked them. When the Skolnick family went to court over it, their new lawyer explained how they needed to contribute to the political campaigns of their ward committeeman and make a payoff to the judge just to get a hearing scheduled on the matter.

Often portrayed by the general media as just another conspiracy nut job, Skolnick enjoyed the great respect and admiration of the parapolitical underground. The chief investigator into the charges against Kerner wrought from Skolnick’s parapolitical research was John Paul Stephens, later US Supreme Court justice. Stephens’ experience with Skolnick made a profound impact on his view of in forma pauperis petitions—people seeking a court hearing with no money (the majority of cases brought before the Supreme Court)—and Kenn Thomas and Sherman Skolnik helped shape important federal court rulings.

Alexander. “The New Mental Battlefield: ‘Beam Me Up, Spock’.” Military Review, Dec. 1980 On certain occasions I have had an opportunity to broach the subject of this article amongst those who are not familiar with the CIA program of psychic mind-bending known as MK-ULTRA, its link with “Satanic” or cult-based sexual abuse and torture, and connections to child kidnappings and the child porn industry. During such discussions, people have repeated the claims that these reports are “misleading lies” asserted by children who have been “coached” incorrectly by professionals. However, if one really dares to look into the vast literature on the subject it is difficult to argue with the facts. The CIA’s MK-ULTRA mind control program has been widely researched in such books as: Richard Condon, The Manchurian Candidate (1959) Alex Constantine, Psychic Dictatorship in the USA (1995) The secret program has also been documented in ritual abuse survivor accounts, including but not limited to: Lauren Stratford, Satan’s Underground (1991) Lauren Stratford, Stripped Naked (1993) Cathy O’Brien, Trance-Formation of America (1995) Beth Goobie, The Only-Good Heart (Canada, 1998) Brice Taylor, Thanks for the Memories (1999) Kathleen Sullivan, Unshackled: A Survivor’s Story of Mind Control (2003) As research into shadow government mind control expands, a picture of how the Cold War CIA was intertwined with secret experimentation on the human psyche in both America and Canada emerges.

cult families continue to be tortured and maimed in order to fracture the burgeoning personality. They are brutalized, drugged, electroshocked, deprived of food, water and sleep— similar to practices now going on in Guantanamo Bay, Bagrad, and other prison camps—and are subjected to or forced to witness unthinkable ritualized activities, including rape, incest, bestiality, and sacrificial killings. photo: PDinosaur Dan Once the handlers have created several layers of alter personalities with various pseudonyms— some of which handle the pain, others of which are called upon to perform various deep cover activities (government spies, assassins, drug runners, hypnotic couriers, human recorders, sex slaves, etc.)—the children are used to sexually compromise politicians, country singers, and even presidents and vice presidents.

As William Gray writes in Magical Ritual Methods (Red Wheel, 1980), there are many “sex-and-slaughter schools” in operation today under various names. Some of them, Gray maintains, would be shocked to hear themselves described this way, such as those who uphold the Christian Mass filled with pagan symbolism. Certainly the symbolic drinking of Christ’s blood and eating of his body during the Eucharist, and the crucifixion/torture of Christ on the cross and ascension after death, can be used just as well by operators of a death cult. secret societies, and fringe factions of the intelligence apparatus that always need more and more money for their “black” projects and therefore look favorably on political blackmail. The Mafia being such a cult, Monarch survivor Kathleen Sullivan has reported its involvement in a program utilizing mind controlled couriers and assassins called OMICRON that may have involved both the Columbo and Trafficante crime families.

Therapist Gail Fisherpurpose of political blackmail. Taylor indicated on CKLN that these with what they do, Fisher-Taylor points to both “collusion” and to “disbelief.” The False Memory Movement Fisher-Taylor refers to media spin that helps to dispel “rumors” of ritual abuse/mind control as “false memory propaganda.” Once survivors of ritual torture begin to “re-member” the torture and the layers peel off in therapy, they begin to network with other survivors. “Re-membering” may then lead to testifying before the courts and government investigatory panels, what the False Memory Syndrome Foundation (FMSF) considers to be a “backlash.” The history of psychiatry in the second half of According to False the 20th Century movementMemory claims, Multiple Personis undoubtedly ality Disorder is iatrogenic or strongly skewed created by the therapist. People this movement by an Intelligence inargue that such bizarre memories agenda. cannot be relied As a matter of fact, political blackmail is the strongest deterrent to open disclosure of the reckless and inhuman activities of modern cults, as well, given that these generational ritual cults operate at the fringes of public organizations so that their members can infiltrate police forces, social services, groups operate through implication and intimidation: “If these people are implicated in criminal activity, they are drawn in, and they can be drawn in and blackmailed under the influence of drugs and other kinds of influences.”2 In terms of how these people get away www.paranoiamagazine.com issue 52 | summer 2012 upon as evidence since they are often brought forward under clinical hypnosis and other psychotherapeutic techniques; besides, the memories may be intertwined with other peculiar information and extraordinary claims. Another argument is that MPD or DID is really temporal lobe epilepsy. Both arguments are part of what on CKLN Dr. Colin Ross calls “Manchurian Candidate Denial”: “The history of psychiatry in the second half of the 20th Century is undoubtedly strongly skewed—not by an agenda that has to do with academic research, not by the best interest of clients, not by ethical psychiatry—but by an Intelligence agenda.”3 As he also points out, psychiatrists have created a “little loophole where they can step out of normal ethical oversight.” All of this is kept under the carpet, he paranoia: the conspiracy magazine 55

asserts, “not by twelve guys in a room at Langley . . . but by this pervasive ‘old boys’ network.” According to Dr. Ross’s research, many of the people in the False Memory movement have a vested interest in such denial, due to their own involvement. secret societies such as the Freemasons and the (Freemason) Ku Klux Klan. Pagan sects such as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn have also been implicated—religions that are often familial and therefore multigenerational, as well. The idea that the False Memory movement constitutes a deliberate disinformation strategy is perfectly plausible and consistent with the fact that large numbers of persons claiming ritual abuse have come and are coming forward. “False memory” is a convenient counterstrategy label for those who might yet be implicated somewhere along the line. As mind control expert Walter Bowart stated in a CKLN interview, “The board of this organization is made up of a lot of CIA people, CIA contractors and ‘spychiatrists,’ and pedophiles, child molesters. People like that are on the side of pedophilia, they are trying to defend pedophilia, and it is a very litigious, very aggressive organization that has struck terror in the hearts of the therapeutic community.”4 As in Sullivan’s book, Cathy O’Brien’s Trance Formation of America discusses the Aryan connection, claiming that many of her cult abusers adhered to neo-Nazi principles wherein “mankind must take a giant step in evolution through creating a superior race.” O’Brien’s handler espoused Nazi and KKK ideas to the effect that a perfect “blond race” should be genetically bred, and the genocide of underprivileged races and cultures should be effected. words, CIA cult specialists have in some cases “subcontracted” with cults to prime children to be of service to the mafioso-style intelligence arm of the shadow government. Such a subcontractor relationship may provide income for both cults and the CIA, similar to the international drug trade. that her father was involved with a ritual cult, although he worked for General Electric and may have had CIA/defense industry connections.

Nonetheless, she is aware of a pattern of ritualized abuse and a group of people in collusion who knew how multiple personality systems could keep their abuse hidden. Often, the situation can progress from the child being a victim of a local pedophile group to becoming a Monarch slave. As Moss-Sharman explains, over 90% of survivors believe their own parents offered them up for ritualized cult abuse and simultaneously for outside mind control experimentation. Clearly, children are not ferreted away from their parents during the day or for overnight or weekend visits; one or both parents has conscious knowledge and are “actively involved in making sure the children arrived where they were supposed to arrive.” Nazism itself was a state-instituted cult that explored much of this ground, and the Canada contact CIA/intelligence for ACHES-MC (Advocacy Committee for Human Military-Corporateapparatus, Secret Society Connection Experimentation Survivors and Mind Most victims claim that their also an Control), Lynne torture as children was either at the Moss-Sharman hands of sacrificial cults to which explained on CKLN institutionalized their parents belonged or at the hands that her memories The CIA’s of certain ‘spychiatrists’ now known revolve around the cult, has proximity to to have been connected to the CIA’s pedophilia of her various cults and MK-ULTRA program.

The Occult Connection Get Them Early After World War II, Operation Paperclip availed American intelligence of the records of Nazi parapsychology experiments performed at concentration camps like Dachau. U.S. psychic researchers had long suspected that the Germans were close to discovering psychic weapons. The Dachau records are still classified, but it is known that one focus was whether telepathy—induced out-of-body experience—could be increased under torture, which is exactly what is done in cult rituals to induce MPD-DID. Goobie writes in “The Network of Stolen Consciousness”: The cozy trauma-bonding relationship between underground ritual cults and the covert government intelligence apparatus means getting a child involved in ritual programming right from birth, or as Dr. Ross put it on CKLN, “If you start with G.I. Joe at age 19, you can’t get intensely poly-fragmented multi-multi-layers of defense systems in place very easily.” In other words, it is highly unlikely that you can create more than one alter personality in an adult. For several programmed personalities, intense fear In search of immortality, cults have always explored the metaphysical gateways to alternate dimensions that can be opened through traumatic dissociation. These out-of-body experiences teach cult members to exist as frequencies; conscious knowing energy that has been dissociated from the body during trauma. One can leave the body at many different frequencies, and each frequency opens up a different dimension of reality or ‘mystery,’ as well as interaction with the entities which inhabit these dimensions.5 illustration: “T” Altered Art Nazism itself was a state-instituted cult that explored and total submission must be genermuch of this ground, and the CIA/inated from birth onward via a ritualized telligence apparatus, also an institupattern of trauma bonding.

In March was to beat the frequency. 2000, a 37-year-old California woman www.paranoiamagazine.com issue 52 | summer 2012 came forward during the case to testify that she has suffered a lifetime of sexual and physical abuse beginning at age three. According to a story published in the Boulder Daily Camera by editor Barrie Hartman, the woman described sexual and physical abuse during after-hours holiday parties in various California homes. After most of the guests had gone, another ‘party’ involving sexual abuse of children would begin. The woman names one of the main participants in these sex parties as Fleet White, the close friend of the Ramseys whose Christmas party they attended the night their daughter was killed by an “intruder.” The woman described sexual techniques used at these after-hours parties wherein asphyxiation is used to stimulate an orgasmic response. The physical evidence of garroting found on JonBenét’s body suggested that she may have been killed when this asphyxiation technique went too far. The woman reported that this technique was used on her when she was a child.5 Another tie-in between cult ritual abuse and three-year-old JonBenét Ramsey are the stun-gun marks found on her body. Many Monarch survivors claim that various forms of electricity, including stun guns, are widely used to control or instill fear. Many victims have the telltale scars of the stun gun on their bodies, including moles. The California woman also stated that when girls do not perform as expected, they are struck on the head where their hair will cover the wound. The autopsy report concluded she had suffered a blow on the head and was strangled. Stephen Singular, a Denver author who has pursued the Ramsey case relentlessly, is convinced the killing is paranoia: the conspiracy magazine 57

linked to child sexual abuse, but as of yet, it is unknown whether it involves a sacrificial bloodline cult. However, on the morning of March 22, 2000, Katie Couric interviewed John Ramsey on the Today show. Ramsey claimed that he wore a medallion on his chest in memory of his slain daughter. When Katie asked to see it, Ramsey unbuttoned his shirt and produced a large round medallion on a long chain showing a six- or five-pointed star with a scattering of smaller stars above it. He claimed JonBenét had won it in a beauty pageant and he wanted to wear it close to his heart. Was showing the medallion a ritual sign between co-conspirators of the success of their alchemical operation? continue the cycle commenced.” Who knows what ugly truth was lurking behind John Ramsey’s poker face? Did something happen to his daughter at that Christmas party at the “White” house? Or, did someone from that party enter the Ramsey home and await their homecoming? The Illuminati Bloodline As survivor Cisco Wheeler explains, the Illuminati structure is based on 13 royal bloodlines. These 13 ruling families, which can be traced back many centuries, are Luciferian cult members who have taken oaths to see the fulfillment of the “End Time,” and “to see the antichrist take his throne.” She asserts there isn’t anything they will not do— the mindset passed on from generation to generation, touching everyone within the family for generations. Their allegiance is unto Lucifer, who I now will call Satan. They In Magical believe they will Ritual Methods, Gray explains the stand as gods “pectoral symbol” as a medallion worn in hell and they on a long chain in the middle of will rule the the chest under garments: Their alpeople in hell. legiance The pectoral is unto Symbol must bear some design which indicates the nature of the operation being undertaken, and the confidence of its wearer in the whole affair . . . The pectoral shows what we proclaim ourselves to be before everyone else, and what we will defend with all our might. Without this quality of belief, no magic would be possible . . . Whatever Symbol we hang upon our breasts must really and truly stand for what we genuinely believe in with all the force of our Inner Being. Gray also writes, “A working magician thinks and projects Inner power as far as possible towards materialisation, and relies on other agents to 58 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine Lucifer, who I now will call Satan. They believe they will stand as gods in hell and they will rule the people in hell. They will become gods with him. That is the big lie. They believe this. That is bottom line of the doctrine. Several Monarch mind control victims have come forward to report that they were victimized as children due to the circumstances of being born into the Illuminati bloodline. Goobie explains in “The Janus Program” (Paranoia, Issue 47): The worship and feeding of ancestors is a central component of these cults’ ritual practices . . . birth into the issue 52 | summer 2012 flesh and the physical plane is regarded as a form of death, a reduction to a realm wherein the individual’s main purpose is to serve, through suffering, all ancestors who reside in the full glory of the spirit on the astral plane. Children of the Illuminati bloodline are groomed to become programmers and high priests and priestesses of the cult; children killed in ritual sacrificial offerings—the Massacre of the Innocents—are not Illuminati bloodline, but innocents—orphans, foster or adopted children, abducted or unwanted children given or sold by their parents to the cult. (Are these our missing children every 40 seconds?) The children of these generational Dionysian or Illuminati bloodline families, brought up in a twisted, violently abusive environment, are apt to continue to put their own children through this genetically based Hell on Earth. As Cisco Wheeler explains, her father was a “multiple” trapped in this repetitive game loop. I think there was a time in my father’s life when he realized what he was and what he was doing. I think the barriers within his own mind, within his own multiplicity, had broken down to the point where he knew, but he also knew he was in over his head. It would cost him his life to move away or to change directions. He was too far in. Do What Thou Wilt The Amalricians were an ancient ritual sacrificial cult of the later Middle Ages and taught that “true believers need obey no law”; that since all things are of God, there can be no evil and “those who followed their lustful urges were simply doing God’s will.” They and other heretical groups believed that resisting lustful urges was to resist God. In the words of a chronicler of the times, “If anyone was ‘in the Spirit,’ even if he were to commit fornication or to be fouled by any other filthiness, www.paranoiamagazine.com

there would be no sin in him, because that Spirit, who is God, being entirely distinct from the body, cannot sin.” This doctrine is reminiscent of Aleister Crowley’s Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. In the mindset of people who have taken the Luciferian oath, the idea of sin or doing wrong is no longer a restriction of the will-to-power, a doctrine taken up with zeal by the Third Reich. As Cisco Wheeler claims, “There isn’t anything they will not do”—torturing and maiming innocent children, forcing children into prostitution or bestiality, allowing animals to kill children, and other heinous, torturous, and sexually deviant acts. While any type of sexual deviance is a way of denying current societal standards, the supremely selfcentered “moral code” of the pedophile is in willful defiance of anything that could be considered macro-society’s moral code for the general good. As a culture, we remain in denial about the reality of satanic ritual abuse and sacrifice of children. The FBI denies it exists, whereas some police departments specializing in cults tend to hold a different opinion. As the Wikipedia on “Satanic Ritual Abuse” shows, even high-profile cases are difficult to prove: “Three other cases considered corroborating by the public—the McMartin preschool trial, a pre-school in Country Walk, Florida and the murders in Matamoros [across the International Bridge from Brownsville, Texas] by Adolfo Constanzo—ultimately failed to support the existence of SRA [satanic ritual abuse].” The cult families discussed in this article count on decent society’s denial and disbelief of survivor stories, despite all too much familiarity with man’s inhumanity to man, it being far too distressing to acknowledge man’s inhumanity to children.

Like nuclear radiation, the EM radiation technology in which we’ve become so enmeshed will require a painful learning curve. We’re engaged in a giant world experiment for which electropollution, biological stress, mental health, and even judiciary systems demand immediate and serious re-thinking. Despite corporate media disinformation, we now know that ELF frequencies have a primary impact on all life forms, and that lower power densities can do more damage than higher densities, particularly when it comes to RF or MW absorption. Cold War and EM open-field research was to be protected at all costs, human health be damned. So the American National Standards Institute adopted the safety levels of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE): for frequency, 300 kHz to 100 GHz with everything in North America, Western Europe, and Japan set for 50-60 Hz fields. For power, the 10-100 mW (milliwatts)/cm2 standard was a far cry from that of Soviet Russia; if their limit of 1 microwatt and 10 microwatts on the job was adopted here in the US, 90 percent of our FM stations would have to shut down. Because It would industry and the be comforting to believe that military demand ignorance of the impact on human unrestricted health here and For specific now and in future use of electroabsorption rate generations lies standards magnetic fields (SAR) behind the present of cell phones and proliferation of towers, the Federal and radiation, cell towers and Communications Wi-Fi technology. their intrinsic Commission But the dangers (FCC) relied on hazards inherent in nonthe IEEE again ionized, nontherand the National are often mal electromagCouncil on Ranetic technology diation Protection compounded have been well and Measureknown since ment (NCRPM), by secrecy and Project Pandora then garnered in the mid-1960s. deceit. legitimacy from Read about it in Robert O. Becker’s 1985 book The Body Electric: Electromagnetism and the Foundation of Life and dispel forever the illusion that the military-industrial complex cares about the loss or debilitation of millions of human beings. In the early era of radar, it did not take long for physicians and scientists to grasp what radar operators’ symptoms of sterility, baldness, cataracts behind the lens, white blood cell proliferation, and chromosome changes meant, nor their proclivity for having children with Down’s syndrome. The military’s response was to create yet more secret classifications and to make sure that thermal power density norms ignored nonthermal effects. It was the www.paranoiamagazine.com the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), none of which backed the standard with scientific research, choosing to believe instead the IEEE story that the effects of nonthermal EMR are not dangerous, despite repeated evidence of biological effects following from nonthermal power densities of 1,000 to 10,000 microwatts. So it’s not surprising that none of these standards are law. The militaryindustrial complex continues to use the frequencies and power they please, from everything running on a battery to electric trains, refinement plants, 500,000 miles of high-voltage power lines and their switching stations issue 52 | summer 2012 operating as gigantic antennae in the ELF band at 60Hz; antitheft systems, metal detectors, air and sea navigation, military communication, and on and on, and ELF fields continue to bombard us, given that the human body’s resonant frequency acts as an antenna or tower. In fact, the ambient ELF systems overlap frequencies and resonate again and again throughout our bodies, interfere with our biocycle timing, and undermine our immune systems. Peak resonant frequency lies in the middle of the VHF band (30-300 MHz) and includes FM radio, television, land mobile stations, long range communication with radio modems, ham radio, marine communications, air traffic control, etc. Superconducting cables increase the field strength around power lines by twenty times, and somehow it’s fine that microwave ovens leak up to 5,000 microwatts and that the cumulative density of radio waves around us is more than 200 million times the natural level from the Sun, including the solar magnetic storms that affect the Schumann frequency of the human mind, a fact reflected in the high psychiatric hospital admissions during solar storms. Dr. Becker stresses in The Body Electric that the most concerning frequencies are ELFs: …The major problems come from extremely low frequencies, but higher frequencies have the same effects if pulsed or modulated in the ELF range. This is very often the case, for, to transmit information, microwaves or radio waves must be shaped. This is done by interrupting the beam to form pulses or by modulating the frequency or amplitude (sze) of the waves. Furthermore, today’s environment is a latticework of crisscrossing signals in which there’s always the possibility of synergistic effects or the ‘construction’ of new ELF signals from the patterns of interference between two higher frequencies. Therefore, experiments in which cells or organisms are exposed to a single unmodulated frequency, though sometimes useful, are irrelevant outside the lab. They’re most often done by researchers whose only goal is to be paranoia: the conspiracy magazine 61

able to say, ‘See, there’s no cause for alarm.’ (284) Myriad experiments have confirmed stress reactions to ELF magnetic and electrical fields and microwave exposures, stress being the precursor to disease that calls upon the immune system to do its magic. Dr. Becker elaborates: In his pioneering lifework on stress, Dr. Hans Selye has clearly drawn the invariable pattern: Initially, the stress activates the hormonal and/or immune systems to a higher-than-normal level, enabling the animal to escape danger or combat disease. If the stress continues, hormone levels and immune reactivity gradually decline to normal. If you stop your experiment at this point, you’re apparently justified in saying, ‘The animal has adapted; the stress is doing it no harm.’ Nevertheless, if the stressful condition persists, hormone and immune levels decline further, well below normal. In medical terms, stress decompensation has set in, and the animal is now more susceptible to other stressors, including malignant growth and infectious diseases. (277) ended somewhere between Corvallis and Eugene, Oregon. Given that pulse-modulated microwaves are efficient carriers for mind control signals in that they can pass through the skull that is otherwise resistant to low-level non-pulsed EM, it is more than interesting that between 1970 and 1975, the suicide rate in Medford, Oregon (population 28,454) rose far above the national average. It seems that the nearby US military base had something to do with “streaming” the Soviet Woodpecker to Medford. In short, both the Soviets and American military were running EM experiments on populations – inducing nuclear magnetic resonance in human tissues, increasing cancer rates, and interfering with mental processes. By 1978, the CIA’s Operation Pique – precursor to the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Project or HAARP – was bouncing radio signals off the ionosphere to affect specific populations. By studying the Cold War progression of military weapons research, it has become obvious to me that thousands Since September 11, 2001, EM weapons have been slowly trotted of nonconsensual out for public shock and awe: surveillance technology human subjects electronic like radiating devices and receivnon-radiating devices, laserhave been used ers, facilitated listening devices, both and satellite; “hot on the to perfect the EM ground hook” phones, “smart phones,” weapons planned even eXaudios software that detects and decodes emotions. As for societal control. for visual surveillance, the 1998 Stress reactions of human beings living under high-voltage wires and over underground power lines can lead causally to cancer or other internal diseases in ten to thirty years, including deep depression and suicide. The adrenal cortex becomes exhausted, the endocrine system erratic. The neurotransmitter acetylcholine emits a subliminal distress signal in fields as innocent as the typical office with its computers, lighting, telephone, and fax machines – and that was pre-WiFi. Human blood triglyceride levels go up, harbinger of strokes, heart attacks, and arteriosclerosis. Blood pressure and brain wave patterns change. Stress response, desynchronized biocycles, interference with cellular metabolism and growth process – the list culminates in genetic alteration of future generations. Not only are we caught in the crossfire of FM and television stations and cell phones bouncing from tower to tower, but of military applications, as well. Consumers think of convenience and careers, the military-industrial 62 complex of weapons and control. As Dr. Becker put it, “Because industry and the military demand unrestricted use of electromagnetic fields and radiation, their intrinsic hazards are often compounded by secrecy and deceit.” In my years of piecing together the “national security” non sequiturs surrounding EM technology, the lacunae and disinformation landmines, I have found this “secrecy and deceit” to be true in spades. As electrical engineer Keith Harmon Snow says, “Microwave technologies and electromagnetic energy are used by the military as integral components of weapons systems precisely because they are detrimental to life.” paranoia: the conspiracy magazine By studying the Cold War progression of military weapons research, it has become obvious to me that thousands of nonconsensual human subjects have been used to perfect the EM weapons planned for societal control. From the 1950s into the 1970s, the Soviets zapped the American embassy in Moscow with the tacit consent of American intelligence under Project Pandora. Beginning on the US bicentennial on July 4, 1976, a Soviet ULF radio signal known as the Woodpecker pulsated at a median of 10 Hertz from an enormous Tesla magnifying transmitter in Kiev. Interestingly, its route issue 52 | summer 2012 film Enemy of the State with Will Smith and Gene Hackman offered an entertaining picture of how “eye in the sky” satellites and aircraft see all and track all, like the Iris satellites that track body heat with infrared. Open source data surveillance technology like microcomputers, pattern recognition, voice- and thought-activation can all be remotely controlled by computer – up to the context of remote brain wave monitoring of thoughts. Two categories of electromagnetic weapons that have now gone more or less public are antipersonnel high-powered microwave projectiles (HPMs) and anti-materiel electromagnetic pulses (EMPs). Antipersonnel weapons include www.paranoiamagazine.com

sonic, phaser (photon amplification by stimulated emission of radiation), and psychotronic scalar wave and infrared weapons. Sound like science fiction? Think again. The corporate media insists they’re still in the future, but the truth is far different. The future is here. The most well known antipersonnel HPM is the Active Denial System (ADS) pulsing EMR at 95GHz to boil molecules in and under the human skin. It is being used all over the world for war and in countries that have signed Status of Forces Agreements with the US. The Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD), now a 45-pound disc 33 inches in diameter that emits sound at high frequency (2.5 kHz) in a 30° beam. Usually mounted on a Hummer, it is primarily used for crowd control. Though categorized as a non-lethal weapon, a turn of the dial will produce permanent ear damage and cook eyeballs and organs. tism, diseases, and drugs via modulated electromagnetic energy. Back as early as the Fifties, pulsed frequencies were used for confusion beam weaponry, initially studied in depth by CIA-funded W. Ross Adey, MD at the Brain Research Institute of University of California. The pulses changed the brain’s calcium flow and interfered with concentration, disrupted sleep, and changed brain function. Author Evelyn Waugh refers to such a device in his 1957 novel The Ordeal of Gilbert Pinford – an experience Waugh himself underwent. The device was the LIDA machine, a Soviet brain-entrainment machine emitting waves at 10 Hertz. Russia’s chess champion Boris Spassky claimed he lost the 1972 world champi- onship to Bobby Fischer due to being bombarded with confusion rays. issue 52 | summer 2012 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine In 1958, when he was 14 years old, Dr. Patrick Flanagan invented the Neurophone in Bellaire, Texas. Once the military weaponized his invention, neurophones were delivering aural harassment via microwaves or lasers by converting sound to electrical impulses transmitted in radio waves to the skin to convince the brain that they were audible. In 1961, neuroscientist Allan Frey sliced microwave carriers, inserted audio modulation, and remotely sent “microwave hearing” to targets’ auditory cortex, sensed in the temporal region above and in front of the ears. Sometimes targets can tell when they’re being zapped by low-power microwaves (microwatts/c2) pulsed at photo: Marvin Wichary An EMP is the burst of electromagnetic radiation resulting from a nuclear weapon detonation and/or a suddenly fluctuating magnetic field. Rapidly changing electric or magnetic fields then couple with electronic systems and produce damaging current and voltage surges. A detonation a few thousand miles above the Earth can destroy all electronics across the continent. My primary interest has been the EM weapons that have not been made public because they are being covertly used for political control in a quiet war against populations, dissidents, and individuals displeasing to G8 powers. Examples include laser systems (freeelectron, x-ray, neutral particle beam, chemical-oxygen-iodine, mid-infrared advanced chemical laser, etc.) that deliver blurred vision and holographs; ion-beam plasma augmented reality mind control delivered by satellites that first track targets via their bioenergetic signatures and then couple plasma with their EM fields; and of course nonaural carriers that directly induce silent subliminal messages into the brain.

In 1969, Yale professor José M.R. Delgado, a Spanish advocate of “psychocivilized” society, perfected remote electrical stimulation of the brain (ESB) to control behaviors, actions, instincts, and emotions from a distance. Today, focused EMR beams can manage the brain like an electrical toy. In 1973, Dr. Joseph C. Sharp of Walter Reed Army Institute of Research modeled the pulsed microwave audiogram – an analog of words’ sound vibrations – on Flanagan’s neurophone and beamed words into the brain. Today, synthetic telepathy connects subvocalized signals in the brain to a computer via MASER beam. Software then associates specific brain-exciting potentials with particular words and “reads” subvocalized 15Hz, 5mW thoughts from the auditory cortex. CCTV of the mind. By using ELF audiograms carried by a single pulsemodulated MASER, subvocalized thoughts of synthetic telepathy operators can be beamed into the target’s brain for forced “conversation.” As Dr. Becker says, “Such a device has obvious applications in covert operations designed to drive a target crazy with ‘voices’ or deliver undetectable instructions to a programmed assassin.” In the 1970s and 1980s, Igor Smirnov, the father of “psycho-correction” – a term he used to denote the use of subliminal messages to alter the will or modify the personality without the subject’s knowledge – perfected using electroencephalographs (EEGs) to measure brain waves, then created a computerized map of the individual subconscious and impulses such as anger and sex drive. The mapping of primary frequency allocation and distribution of biotelemetrically responsive frequencies is known in the intel biz as prima freaking. With taped subliminal messages, Smirnov could then alter the mental landscape. Brain wave monitors have graduated from EEGs to magnetoencephalographs (MEGs) that correlate brain wave patterns via a remote crystalline computer whose software reads and translates spoken words and silent thought. “EEG cloning” can monitor the target’s electromagnetic field, decode it through computer software, then feed emotional patterns back to the target’s brain or to another brain. A 5-micromillimeter microchip placed in the optical nerve can draw neuroimpulses from the brain so as to “eavesdrop” on the implanted person and transfer his or her thoughts to a computer where they will be stored until they’re projected back into the brain to be re-experienced as hallucinations, voices from past conversations, etc. National Security Agency (NSA) SIGINT monitors brain waves via satellite, decodes evoked 5-milliwatt potentials of the brain at 3.50Hz, and transmits them to a VHSIC (very high speed integrated circuit) computer monitor to set up forced “conversations.” As 64 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine issue 52 | summer 2012 www.paranoiamagazine.com photo: Cyrus Bulsara 300-3,000 megahertz because the beam will boom, hiss, click, or buzz just behind the head. Frey pulsed microwave beams to increase the permeability of the blood-brain barrier in order to enhance the effects of drugs, bacteria, and poisons for the CIA. He discovered how to speed up, slow down, or stop hearts by synchronizing heartbeat to a pulsating microwave beam – in other words, induce a remote-controlled heart attack.

Paul Baird says at his site http://www. surveillanceissues.com: Human thought operates at 5,000 bits/ sec but satellites and various forms of biotelemetry can deliver those thoughts to supercomputers in Maryland, Israel, etc. which have a speed of 20 BILLION bits/sec each. These, even today, monitor millions of people simultaneously. Eventually, they will monitor almost everyone…worse than any Orwellian “Big Brother” nightmare you could possibly imagine, only it will be a reality. Yet our world leaders, who know this, do nothing. Usually the targets are aware their brain waves are being monitored because of the accompanying neurophone feedback. In other words, the computer (echoes) your own thoughts and then the human monitors comment or respond verbally. Both are facilitated by the neurophone. Whilst the live/human comments are individualistic and unrelated to the victim’s own thought processes, oftentimes the artificial intelligence involved will parrot standard phrases. These are triggered by your thoughts while the human monitors remain silent or absent. To comprehend how terrible such a thorough invasion of privacy can be, imagine being quizzed on your past as you lie in bed. You eventually fall off to sleep, having personal or “induced” dreams, only to wake to the monitor’s commenting/ridiculing your subconscious thoughts (dreams). Today, microwave transmitters beam specific mood-inducing excitation potentials at the target’s brain after millimeter wave scanners locate it by penetrating walls. Other people in the building remain oblivious while the excitation potential for suicide or murder resets the brain for depression or rage that eventually spirals out of control. In my opinion, this is what happened to “depressed” political activist Abbie Hoffman and journalist Gary Webb. Tim Rifat explains: Intelligence chiefs are now in seventh heaven. If someone becomes a problem, they park the ‘suicide mind control team’ www.paranoiamagazine.com outside their house. Suicides are easy to explain away. Or they can discredit you by driving you mad by beaming the excitation potential of a pathological mental state at your brain. They place sounds and speech in the target victim’s brain that no one else can hear, called inter-cerebral hearing. This is now common practice. Instead of using excitation potentials, a transducer modifies the spoken word into ELF audiograms that are then superimposed on the pulse-modulated microwave beam. Outside environmental reinforcement via media agents in league with MI5 [UK FBI] assure that the high-profile person’s mind-controlled madness will be put in the worst possible light to discredit them… In 2003, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) launched the Brain Machine Interface (BMI) program to create “new technologies for augmenting human performance through the ability to noninvasively access these codes in the brain in real time and integrate them into peripheral device or systems operations.” (BAA 01-42, Addendum 1, Special Focus Area: Brain Machine Interfaces, http://www.darpa.mil/baa/ baa01-42modl.htm) Unlike EEGs, MEG scanners have the speed and resolution to make brain-machine interface possible. Room-temperature superconductors have made MEGs portable, perfect for in-the-field experimentation or harassment. Soldiers will soon be wearing MEG-scanner “thought helmets” and carry backpack signal-processing supercomputers.

Bush while his wife Kitty was being driven to the brink of suicide. The thoughts and emotions of millions of targets are being archived on computers for use in cybernetics and robotics, and those doing on-the-ground monitoring and harassing (“gaslighting”) are often the lowest of the low with no fear of reprisal, thanks to their political or intelligence connections. Attempts to protect democratically inclined regimes from mind manipulation weapons have so far been toothless. Sen. John Glenn, who well knows the truth of this technology, introduced a bill called the Human Research Subject Protection Act of 1997; in 1999, the European Parliament pressed for the Resolution on Environment Security and Foreign Policy; the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research called for a disarmament of mind control weapons. But to my knowledge, the only law on the books that criminalizes using EM weapons against citizens is Michigan Public Acts 256 and 257, signed by Canadian-born Governor Jennifer Granholm on December 28, 2003. The penalty is 15 years to life, but the question is, are abusers being prosecuted? It doesn’t take rocket science to see that remote satellite tracking and over-the-horizon technologies are not just about “terrorists.” Remote torture and interrogation, memories triggered by neurophone questioning, and brain wave analysers delivering answers and programming spell electronic POW concentration camps, mental rape, and intellectual property stolen right from one’s thoughts. These weapons are being used to influence or otherwise discredit and silence if not murder voters, lobbyists, senators, dissenters, writers, activists, whistleblowers, Hollywood stars, and resistant but knowledgeable scientists. One example among many was Michael Dukakis, the 1988 Demo- In 1975, the Soviets proposed to the UN General Assembly a ban on the weapons General Secretary Leonard Brezhnev called “more frightful than the mind of man has ever conceived.” Now, there are electron “amnesia” beams and magnetophosphene guns that make you “see stars”; hand-held VLF (20-35KHz) infrasound generators that trigger nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.

Soldiers are being injected with intelligence-manned interface (IMI) biotics so that 20-billion-bit/ second NSA supercomputers can track them and see and hear what they experience with a remote monitoring system (RMS); SEAL assassins are being brain-wiped. Cognitive warfare is a form of mind control that uses acoustical, optical, and electromagnetic fields or a combination of the three to interfere with the biological processes of the target. Voluntary muscle movements can be restrained, emotions and actions controlled, sleep produced or prevented, shortand long-term memories wiped, and all by remote control. S4s (Silent Sound Spread Spectrum) on board EC-130E Commando Solo’s entrain brainwaves, then piggyback stored emotion signature clusters or voice commands on AM, FM, HF, TV, or military bands via the military’s Omega communications system. I know the capacity that there is to make tyranny total in America and we must see to it that this agency [the National Security Agency] and all agencies that possess this technology operate within the law and under proper supervision, so that we never cross over that abyss from which there is no return. Ten years later in 1985, Dr. Becker warned: Eventual monitoring of evoked potentials from the EEG, combined with radio-frequency and microwave broadcasts designed to produce specific thoughts or moods, such as compliance and complacency, promises a method of mind control that poses immense danger to all societies – tyranny without terror… the hypnotic familiarity of TV and radio, combined with the biological effects of their broadcast beams, may already constitute a similar force for mass standardization, whether by design or not. (320) Unfortunately, that “agency and other agencies” have gone free market, hiring private security firms and mobsters to do their dirty work (The [Glasgow] Herald, “Brainwash killers ‘still in use’,” May 26, 1995). “NSA self-initiated executions” known as suicides, like that of singer Kurt Cobain, now constitute remotely driven “psychological engineering.” According to Eldon Byrd, former scientist for Naval Surface Weapons, Office of Non-Lethal Weapons, even cerebral imaging and dreams can be managed at a distance via the scalar component of a weak magnetic field.

Basically, it merged US military, big defense contractor corporations, military-endowed science, and law enforcement, including a joint policy of dual use for non-lethal weapons like the ADS or LRAD and remote EM mind control technologies discussed here. The agreement changed the Cold War word “external enemy” to “[foreign or domestic] adversary” (now “terrorists”), meaning anyone whose www.paranoiamagazine.com

activities displease military or law enforcement. In Mind Control World Control, the late Jim Keith relates an Operation Weed & Seed story about living for three years in the Tenderloin in San Francisco. The top of the Federal Building was actually a radar, microwave, and radio shield for an array of communications devices, and from its roof, you could see anywhere in the Tenderloin. Given that ELF and ULF emissions (like TV broadcasts) don’t pass well through earth or buildings, Keith noticed that early morning or evening a low buzzing or humming coming from inside his head disrupted his thoughts and he heard neighbors shouting and threatening outside. The Tenderloin had become a double-bind experiment precisely monitored through the police department. Who would take the complaints of anyone poor, mentally unstable, or addicted seriously? Tim Rifat in the United Kingdom reports that Sussex police have exclusive use of the 450MHz microwave frequency on their 200-foot antenna, the same frequency pulsed at 0.75mW/cm2 used by Ross Adey for behavior modification and the same pulse modulation in cell phone earpieces. Pulse an ELF signal at this frequency out to all antennae around town and it will resonate in the pulsed fields around the power lines, re-radiate and enter homes on light circuits.

In the guise of consumer convenience, dual use technology is arriving in every neighborhood. Dual use, double jeopardy. Much of the historical data in this essay comes from CIA testimony on September 21, 1977 before the Subcommittee on Health and Scientific Research, along with FOIA requests of declassified materials. More information is available on the Internet from researchers and targets who have directly experienced DEW torture, nonconsensual experimental subjects who are often highly verbal, individualistic people living alone without good family relations and relatives often connected with intelligence or security services. Though not all reports are credible, my experience has been that most are if you are somewhat familiar with how the technology works. Hundreds of microwave towers and antennae are going up to accommodate 3-4 Gigabyte cell phones in a pulse-modulated grid known in part as NetRad – at the top of each tower, longwave, tissues-penetrating microwave radiation bombarding everyone below and in its path; at the bottom, video monitors, miniature sensors (magnetic, seismic, infrared, radar, and strain electromagnetic), and signals processing supposedly for weather and atmospheric surveillance, detection of biological agents, radiation release, etc. The fact is that NetRad has been crafted by the We are lab rats in a Martin Seligman learned helplessness experiment. Our fear and depression, passivity, isolation, poor health, immobility, stress, even madness and suicide are recorded and followed up on. Report electronic surveillance and harassment to the police and you are discredited. Check into a psych ward for safety and, thanks to the Diagnostic Statistical Manual IV crafted by the American Psychiatric Association, you’ll be diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic and discredited. No-win is the victory of learned helplessness, and for those Americans who still seek to exercise their rights, “exotic” high-tech weapons await them – blinding lasers, acoustic or sonic www.paranoiamagazine.com issue 52 | summer 2012 weapons, RF, VLF, and “tunable” microwave ADS that cook “adversaries.” In our cities, we no longer hear or feel the Earth’s field to which all of life pulsates. We are clogged with an EM fog. We are slow-boiling frogs in an EM soup. Our biological cycles are off, and chronic stress and disease are mounting, making the medical and pharmaceutical industries richer than their wildest dreams. As Dr. Becker says, the ultimate weapon is manipulation of our EM environment because it’s imperceptibly subtle and strikes at the core of life itself while we’re on the cell phone or computer, listening to music, watching television, or going through the x-ray scanner at the airport. It is time to turn away from the technological spell we are under and examine the devil’s deal we have made with powers who have a 1984 future in mind for us. As Eleanor White writes at her site http://www.raven1.net, “For the first time in history, one human being, from hiding, at a distance, can control the thoughts and actions of another by way of undetectable hypnosis, using still-classified electronic technology. These devices have totally disabled the world’s justice systems. Zero-evidence weapons make revenge crimes routine and easy.” Loss of the freedom of thought. Loss of a republic. Loss of civilization and what is human. These are the costs of sleeping in our chains of comfort and convenience. Is this what we’re prepared to pay?

Memoir of a Conspiracy “Realist” by Brian William Hall There are many motivating factors behind why I fund and organize an annual conspiracy conference, which I will photo: Kevin Dooley fully detail. I started CONSPIRACY CON (and chose that specific name) from the standpoint of being a concerned citizen who is well aware of the many “real” conspiracies and “real” hidden agendas that absolutely do impact humankind. What I’ve learned these past twelve years is that there is a giant sphere of knowledge with many doors. A dozen years ago I entered, interestingly, through the “UFO” door, but discovered the connectedness of everything, along with some disturbing aspects, at least, in our neck of the “multiverse.” Yes, watch the skies, but, I say, watch your back too. There are many things going on not just above us, but right under our very noses. We as people are not privy to these realities… by design. There are powerful hidden groups operating on (and, perhaps, in) this planet whose decisions affect all of us, but these same groups answer to none of us. “They” are brilliant at what “they” do (after eons of practice), and “they” are organized and well connected through a series of secret (and not so secret) societies, banking/industrial dynasties and multi-generational royal (by decree) bloodlines existing and operating all over the world. However, these secret elite we expose at (for example) my conference are the subject of much public skepticism with regards to the reality of their very existence and so-called nefarious agendas. To best explain the current skepticism of anything that challenges the status quo is to understand what is known as “cognitive dissonance.” Most of the masses operate day to day with unchallengeable belief-systems as a result of years, if not decades, of carefully calculated programming and indoctrination (again, by design). For example, Hitler knew that if you told a big enough lie long enough that people would believe it, and he was (and www.paranoiamagazine.com issue 52 | summer 2012 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine 69

is) not alone in this practice. Therefore, challenging any pre-ordained “belief systems” can be especially daunting for those of us in the truth-movement, which for the moment is still somewhat “embryonic” in size. For those who are skeptical of what I am addressing here, please consider for a moment that what we “believe” (as opposed to intellectually knowing) often has little or nothing to do with the truth. That concept, though, doesn’t stop people from having blind faith in their respective gods and/or blind patriotism for their respective governmental leaders. These same people are easily programmed to label people like me as a “Conspiracy Theorist.” Fine, I say. Then I get to call them “Accident Theorists” or “Coincidence Theorists” or “Whoopsy-Daisy Theorists” who truly have not bothered to even attempt thinking outside of the proverbial box. between us and the very truths that shall allegedly set us free. I would submit for those who “can handle the truth” that the best approach to learning the biggest secrets of this world is to analyze and expose the SECRET-KEEPERS of this world. We may want to consider what the so-called “conspiracy theorists” (a damage-control label) have been telling us all for a very long time… that world events, especially if they are negative, are being plotted out by a handful of elites, or world puppet-masters, (already drunk with power) for the purposes of more and more control over our lives and ultimately total enslavement. Once we accept this hypothesis, we are then going to want to do what any good investigator subsequently does after any negative event… ask himself, “Who benefits the most from this.” Then, once one follows the clues, the money & paper trails, one will discover more often than not that they do, in fact, lead to this same group of elites and their organizations. This is certainly what I and many of my colleagues have discovered for ourselves, based on all available evidence… and there’s enough to sink twelve Titanics. Ask yourself… how someone so (allegedly) inept can reach such a position of immense power. I would suggest you look into researching the secret monarchy in this country and its intimate relationship with vote fraud. On the other end of the spectrum, there are many open-minded (or rather far less mind-controlled) truthseekers who are actually looking for the “truth” or, at least, answers. However, if the truth and honest answers are being consciously suppressed from us or manipulated through MIS and DIS-information programs (and said indoctrination) for the purposes of control, domination and enslavement, then it is time we take another approach. This is where I believe I come in, at least, with my own personal philosophy on how to breach that barrier 70 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine Then, once one accepts where the facts lead him (or her), one must then take another step that any good investigator would take. In order to understand how these secret groups can do the horrible things they do on a daily and planetary basis, one must then “psychologically profile” the minds of issue 52 | summer 2012 this elite group of evil-doers. The best way to do that is to understand and acknowledge something called “pattern recognition.” Once one establishes a pattern of behavior (or world-event planning in this case), one can begin to see a larger picture as to the ultimate goals of said elite. In Earth’s case, it is total centralization of literally everything on this planet (power, money, commerce, trade, religion, esoteric knowledge, etc.) into the hands of a very few, along with a massively reduced global population… the survivors of which to be micro-chipped and monitored constantly for total control purposes. There is massive evidence to support this rather grim conclusion. Another method of understanding the mental and psychological perspectives of the global elite is to study their methods of communication, address and identification. This is usually in the form of symbols and symbolism about which the elite are totally obsessed. Look at the symbols of any powerful organization, be it a bank, government office, royalty (especially), etc. A tremendous amount of research has been done on the subversive use of symbolism in our world with stunning findings. Sacred symbols (especially) and many archetypes are being use to: 1) classify who and/or what is behind any given organization and 2) to control the people. I like to give examples. One of which is the symbol used by the Shell Oil Corporation. Many of the symbols used by large corporations date back to the ancient world and the very ancient practice of sun worship. The so-called innocent looking “shell” in Shell’s logo, yes, looks like a shell. But, once you do a little research and understand key archetypes, which are subversively used, you will realize that this very logo, in fact, represents the rays of the sun… and why. NBC (National Broadcasting Company) does an extraordinarily similar thing. The peacock logo also looks suspiciously like the rays of the sun. Again, not an accident. Similarly, you will also see the very significant “pyramid and all-seeing eye” logo, which is, of course, on the back of the (debt-based) One Dollar Bill (or, more www.paranoiamagazine.com

accurately, Federal Reserve Note). This symbol (used by the infamous “Illuminati” — a long story there) is also represented by the Trans-America building in San Francisco and utilized by other banking and corporate entities. There is much history and debate about this particular symbol. However, its importance and significance is obvious simply by the very nature of how often and prominently it is used. However, in my humble opinion, the most telling and important symbol that is used is the “fasci” (for fascist or fascism). It is represented by a hatchet head wrapped by a bundle of sticks around its handle. This is the classic symbol of fascism, which dates back to ancient Rome. I ask you… if everything is hunky-dory here in America… if we supposedly live in the greatest country on God’s green earth… then what the hell is the fasci… the very symbol of fascism… hanging on the wall on either side of the presidential podium in the House of Representatives? Why is it also located on either side of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.? No conspiracy, you say? Pshaw. This is a transparent clue as to how this world is truly run, not to mention a very significant clue as to the mindset of who or what is bent on total control of this country in particular. Unfortunately, as my colleague (and a fantastic researcher), Michael Tsarion, has so aptly observed, most Americans are “symbol-illiterate” (yet again by design). I would say that this even includes those who actually live and work in our nation’s capitol. And, that is not all there is to it. There is an a myriad of other concerns that we address each year, which growing numbers of people are also beginning to voice… like 9-11 and the OK City Bombing (both proven to be inside jobs, which serve only to rob us of more freedoms), Chemtrails (Weather Modification with dangerous Chemicals and Biologicals sprayed from the sky by mysterious aircraft), Mind Control (not just individuals, but the masses through TV, ELFs, HAARP, etc.), the Federal Reserve & IRS (neither government bodies, but privately owned by white-collar crimiwww.paranoiamagazine.com nals bent on pilfering this nation), and any agenda (overt or covert) that falls under the umbrella of the infamous NEW WORLD ORDER about which both Hitler and Bush Sr. publicly addressed (which should provide a small clue about the Bush “crime” family. NOTE: Senator Prescott Bush actually aided in funding Hitler both before and during WWII). More topically, ask yourself… Was Bush Jr. elected or “selected” twice in a row?” Consider for a moment how someone so (allegedly) inept can reach such a position of immense power. I would suggest you look into researching the secret monarchy in this country and its intimate relationship with vote fraud. And finally, since I have done a considerable amount of homework on the UFO/ET issue, and pairing that with the more terrestrial concerns that I maintain, I have come to a conclusion. I will first qualify what I am about to impart by stating that this is my CURRENT world view. Truth and reality are fluid… constantly flowing and changing. So, my opinions and observations may change in five years — they may change in five minutes. However, at this moment in time, I am convinced that the very forces I personally wish to expose outright may NOT be human as we know it. “They” certainly do not act human or humanely towards humanity. NOTE: It is much easier to send a species other than your own to the slaughter. Yes? Perhaps then, it is so easy for “them” to do what “they” do to us because “they” are… (drum roll please)… NOT us. We may be dealing with a level of consciousness that could be alien, reptilian, inter-dimensional, satanic, demonic, all of the above, other (than us), etc. This particular hypothesis would, perhaps, best explain much of the (premeditated) chaos on this planet throughout known history, courtesy of an existing third-party Machiavellian group (which looks upon itself as gods or custodians) who constantly engage earth’s population in a variety of dialectics that usually serve to divide a genetically dumbed-down race (the human experiment via evolution intervention). That population (no matter how large) can then be much easier ruled and conquered. Classic! Think of yourselves as pawns in this global game of chess played by the worst of tyrants. For those of you reading this who act as the very servants (military, intelligence, shadow government, etc.) of our country’s self-appointed “Monarch Masters,” keep in mind that like the Rook, the Knight, and even the Bishop, you too will be sacrificed if necessary to protect the King and Queen. It is much easier to send a species other than I have a right and a to know your own to about need our world’s planetary the slaughter. true heritage. You have and a need Perhaps then, atoright know, as well. it is so easy We all do. But, DO for “them” to conspiracies exist, and the supof the very do what “they” pression answers we seek is an intricate part of do to us that. The problem most people because “they” isdon’tthatknow… that they “don’t know.” are NOT us. This is a very bad issue 52 | summer 2012 place to be mentally and spiritually. Many are convinced that they have independently come up with their own world views based on “mainstream” information, which is, unfortunately, totally controlled and, paranoia: the conspiracy magazine 71

therefore, dangerous pabulum to swallow unchallenged. Therefore, my mission is to provide a bold forum at which lecturers (who say what few are willing to say) can empower those in attendance with true knowledge and information about why things are the way they are, along with providing potential courses of action and possible solutions to the problems that are literally consciously created for us by the very forces we expose each and every year. Then, it is my hope and wish that those (who traveled for miles from all parts of the country to attend) spread the word in their own respective communities. To further understand my goals and intentions, it is important to know that I have never been politically involved (nor will I ever be) because our political system is already too deeply corrupt and corruptible. This is the reason that I am “educationally” involved. It is our first/best destiny to educate ourselves with as much truth as possible, and then share it with as many who will listen. Some have asked me if I feel unsafe or at risk because of what I do. They sometimes fear that I’ll be put on some “list” that tags or classifies me according to the ever watchful eyes of our shadowy friends out there. My response is that, again based on all available information, we are ALL on the list… or some kind of list. The human race has been targeted. Get over it! So, let us all step forward and be counted. Others ask about the risk of disinformation being spread at my forum or that spying will occur. Of course, this is a potentiality. We encourage all attendees to maintain their discernment, and we are glad to be spied on… so long as any so-called “Men In Black” purchase a ticket like everyone else and behave themselves. Yes, CONSPIRACY CON may (admittedly) ultimately put me at a bit more risk. But, that’s the sap that gets on your hands when climbing the tall pine tree to get a better view… a bigger picture. And, what about the ultimate results of my efforts. Do they have any benefits to society? I hope so. Otherwise, I wouldn’t get out of bed each day. Seriously. Many ask me, “Brian, 72 paranoia: the conspiracy magazine what ARE the solutions, etc. We’ve only heard the BAD news, etc.” I say first and foremost that awareness is the most important aspect of the overall solution. If you are not aware of something that is truly affecting you and the entire planet, then how are you even going to know how to deal with it. To know a thing is to change a thing. Or, more familiarly… to be forewarned is to be forearmed. If your enemy knows that you know he or she is going to attack (let’s say), he or she will think twice about attacking. Furthermore, beyond the awareness issue, many of the speakers I invite each year are, indeed, solution-oriented. But, not everyone in attendance is going to agree with each person’s ideas on how to fix our current problems. But, again awareness is a fantastic start. If enough “sleeping giants” wake up, then, theoretically, the jig is up and the game is over. Things will dramatically change over the entire planet. The good news (or the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel) is that there is only a handful of world manipulators compared to the 6 billion+ card-carrying earthlings walking the surface of the earth. What if even a fraction of the human race woke up to these realities? Imagine, say, if even just 10% of the world’s (human) population became real truth-based spiritual warriors prepared to create positive critical mass for the rest of the planet. It would be a powerful force and an encouraging goal towards which to work. I live for that day. It must come, or the future of humankind is in serious trouble. It is already… right now.

Finally, much of what I have learned and subsequently shared in this article came from my exposure to the decades-long research of Master Scholar, Jordan Maxwell, who is one of my heroes. He is a honored researcher, a colleague and a good friend. Jordan is one of the people to whom I refer others when it comes to who best can issue 52 | summer 2012 describe how this planet is run and by whom. His knowledge of religion, secret societies, symbols, emblems, language, commerce, etc. is almost completely unsurpassed. As far as I am personally concerned, Jordan Maxwell is a national treasure and an inspiration. He has spoken for CONSPIRACY CON many times, and he will be with us again this year as a special guest to be available all weekend for networking and conversation. His mere presence always improves the credibility, the class and the impact of our conferences dramatically. As Jordan would say… “You’d better do your homework.” Upon being introduced to the subject of UFOs and government cover-ups in the early 1990’s, Brian began avidly researching these and related topics himself. His ongoing exposure to various alternative books, seminars and documentaries on UFOs, Conspiracies and Hidden Agendas confirmed for him that things are truly not what they seem on planet Earth. To help spread the word, Brian became proactive and began co-writing articles on UFOs and “meta-topics” for the BERKELEY PSYCHIC READER, and he volunteered for several UFO & Paranormal organizations, including the INTERNATIONAL UFO CONGRESS and the BAY AREA UFO EXPO. In 2001, Brian produced his first CONSPIRACY CON to analyze and expose real conspiracies and hidden agendas, and he has organized successful and empowering conspiracy events every year since. In 2004 and 2007, he wrote articles on conspiracies for UFO MAGAZINE, and more recently he contributed to both the FREE AMERICAN MAGAZINE and CONSPIRA-ZINE. In 2005, he participated in the UFO Panel at the NEW LIVING EXPO in San Francisco, and he has been interviewed on many radio programs and appeared on THE UFO CONNECTION and TECHNOLOGY TRENDS local TV shows. In addition to his role as Executive Producer of CONSPIRACY CON, Brian was also the Associate Producer for the BAY AREA UFO EXPO from 2001 to 2007, assisting in event planning, promotion and tape/DVD distribution, along with comic contributions at many of this event’s banquets.
