Brain Injury Association of AmericaPolicy Corner E-Newsletter -- June 12, 2009A weekly update on federal policy activity related to traumatic brain injury__________________________________________________________________In This Issue:Cognitive Rehabilitation CoverageHealth Care Reform UpdateNIDRR Grant ForecastCoalition for Regenerative Stem Cell Medicine updateThe Policy Corner is made possible by the Centre for Neuro Skills, James F. Humphreys and Associates, and Lakeview Healthcare Systems, Inc. Brain Injury Association of America gratefully acknowledges their support for legislative action.Cognitive Rehabilitation CoverageThis week BIAA learned of two important victories centered around cognitive rehabilitation services. Anthem Insurance Companies (Anthem BC/BS, Anthem Health Plans) revised its cognitive rehabilitation coverage policy in December 2008 and cited BIAA's position paper among the authoritative sources consulted. Last month, United Health Care followed suit by publishing a coverage change in its May 2009 Network Bulletin .Also this week, BIAA sent a letter to President Obama urging TRICARE coverage for service members. This is a follow up to the summit hosted by the Defense Centers of Excellence in April 2009, which was prompted by Congressional inquiries BIAA initiated last summer.http://www.biausa.org/elements/policy/president_obama_letter_tricare_cog_rehab.pdfInsurance coverage of cognitive rehabilitation has been a centerpiece of BIAA's policy efforts for the past three years. The Anthem and United Health Care coverage policies are important victories for people with brain injury as they provide fuel for our TRICARE advocacy and health care reform fight.BIAA will continue to fight for TRICARE to cover cognitive rehabilitation services to ensure that our returning service members have access to the best health care available.Health Care Reform UpdateOn June 9, 2009, the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee released a draft health care reform bill. In summary, the draft would expand Medicaid eligibility to those with incomes up to 150 percent of the federal poverty level, impose federal tax penalties on most individuals failing to purchase coverage, mandate a public plan option, require employers to provide coverage or pay into a pool, and stiffen regulation of private health insurance plans.Importantly, the plan eliminates life-time insurance caps as well as provides for the establishment of a medical advisory council that will submit a report to the Secretary of Health and Human Services including recommendations on essential health care benefits eligible for credits which includes rehabilitative services. In issuing the report, the council will ensure that the recommendations take into account the needs of diverse segments of the population including persons with disability.The HELP committee plans to begin considering this bill on June 16, 2009. BIAA will continue to monitor the situation carefully.NIDRR Grant ForecastThis week, The National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) announced it will include two TBI grant programs in its forecast for 2009. http://www.ed.gov/fund/grant/find/edlite-forecast.html#chart7The first grant application notice, rehabilitation research and training centers (RRTC) on traumatic brain injury interventions, will be available on June 30, 2009, while the second, RRTC on developing strategies to foster community integration and participation for individuals with traumatic brain injury will be available on July 24, 2009.BIAA will report on the details of these applications when they are released.Coalition for Regenerative Stem Cell Medicine updateAs part of the Coalition for Regenerative Stem Cell Medicine, BIAA enthusiastically endorses two important pieces of legislation aimed at advancing the therapeutic potential of newborn stem cells, the unique stem cells that can be collected immediately following birth from umbilical cord blood and the cord itself, as well as helping to advance the use of one's own newborn stem cells in regenerative medicine.HR 1718 - The "Family Cord Blood Banking Act" amends Section 213(d) of the IRS Code to add cord blood banking services as a qualified medical expense. This change will allow individuals and couples to use tax advantaged dollars to pay for umbilical cord blood banking services through flexible spending accounts (FSAs), health savings accounts (HSAs) health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs) or the medical expenses tax deduction.The "Family Cord Blood Banking Act" will make cord blood banking more affordable for American families and provides incentives to ensure that this valuable health resource is never thrown away.HR. 2107 - The "Cord Blood Education and Awareness Act of 2009" will provide expectant mothers with straightforward, accurate and easy to understand information about the value of their child's umbilical cord blood stem cells. It will offer a government stamp of approval on all available cord blood banking options and will give expectant parents confidence in the information they are reviewing.Visit our Website-------------------------------------------------------------Each week, the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law publishes the Legal Services E-lert, reaching a wide audience with the most important articles on civil legal aid and access to justice for low-income people.-------------------------------------------------------------THIS WEEK'S HEADLINES1.

Four Years Later, Katrina & Rita Victims Can Buy Their Temporary FEMA Trailers for $1, or Obtain Vouchers for Rental or Public Housing, as FEMA Ends Emergency ProgramKate Linthicum, "Hurricane Victims Get Chance to Buy Trailers for as Little as $1," Los Angeles Times, June 4, 2009Los Angeles Times reports: "The Federal Emergency Management Agency said Wednesday [June 3, 2009] that it would allow hurricane victims on the Gulf Coast still living in government-supplied trailers to buy their temporary homes for as little as $1. The government will also provide $50 million to help other trailer residents, whose homes were destroyed by hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005, move into rental or public housing. The assistance comes just days after the official start of the 2009 hurricane season and one month after FEMA announced that it was ending the temporary housing program it started in the aftermath of Katrina. The more than 3,400 people still living in FEMA trailers in Louisiana and Mississippi had faced eviction. 'We were going to have another homeless crisis on our hands,' said Laura Tuggle of [LSC-funded] Southeast Louisiana Legal Services, a free legal aid program in New Orleans. 'The fear among people was that one day they were going to come back to the trailer they had been living in and it would just be gone. There was so much anxiety. People worried they would have to buys tents.' The sale of the trailers will end the most expensive emergency housing program in FEMA's history. The agency provided more than 143,000 households with temporary housing units, mostly mobile homes and trailers, after the two major hurricanes. FEMA typically provides emergency housing for no longer than 18 months, but officials repeatedly extended the deadline. May 1 was the final deadline to vacate, but many people did not leave. Housing advocates agree that the assistance will help in the short term but are divided over its long-term merits. While Tuggle called it 'a huge step in the right direction,' Reilly Morse, senior attorney with the Mississippi Center for Justice, said he would prefer to see more permanent housing solutions. 'Both of these measures sound like they're just buying time,' Morse said."LEGAL SERVICES ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS*Government Benefits*2. Class Action Settlement, Approved by Court, Should End "Chronic Delays" in Provision of Medicaid and Food Stamps in Suffolk County (NY)Michael Amon, "Suffolk Pledges to Get Medicaid, Food Stamps Out Faster," Newsday, May 12, 2009Newsday states: "For the roughly 60,000 Suffolk residents who apply annually for Medicaid and food stamps - a number expected to grow during the recession - government help may arrive faster this year. Under a court order expected to be signed next month, the Suffolk Department of Social Services - long ranked as one of the slowest in the state to approve public assistance - has pledged to get benefits out more quickly and will have its efforts monitored by advocacy groups. The agreement settles a federal class-action lawsuit brought last August by the Empire Justice Center in Central Islip and the National Center for Law and Economic Justice. The suit accused Suffolk of chronic delays that held up benefits for more than twice as long as legally allowed. Suffolk officials, who denied legal liability, attributed delays to prior staff shortages and an increasing flood of applicants . . . . In 2003, it took 90 days to approve or deny an adult's Medicaid application, twice as long as the law allows, officials said. Last year, it was down to 63, this year to about 50 . . . . In Suffolk, the settlement is expected to help people like Tina, 41, an Islip mother who waited three months for her Medicaid and food stamp benefits last year while she was pregnant. Medicaid for pregnant women and children must be approved or denied in 30 days under federal law . . . . Laura Redman, a staff attorney for the National Center for Law and Economic Justice, said the settlement was similar to others in the past two years with social services agencies in New York City, Erie County, N.Y., Arizona and Colorado."Judge Bianco approved the settlement after a fairness hearing on June 8, 2009.*Housing*3. Foreclosures Harm Minorities, Three Lenders Responsible in 47% of Evictions & Steps Needed to Protect Tenants, Says Report by LSC-Funded Rhode Island Legal ServicesKevin Shalvey, "Report: Foreclosures Lead to Evictions," Providence Business News (RI), June 10, 2009Providence Business News states: "A report released yesterday [June 9, 2009] says that financial institutions who had foreclosed on properties in Rhode Island last year evicted 2,338 tenants, with the highest amount, 1,166 evictions, in Providence. Authored by Steve Fischback, an attorney with [LSC-funded] Rhode Island Legal Services, "Move Out Rhode Island - An Analysis of 2008 Foreclosure Related Evictions" is a collection of data showing where evictions took place and which lenders filed for the evictions. The three lenders with the most evictions made up 47 percent of all evictions. Deutsche Bank evicted 460 tenants; U.S. Bank evicted 382 tenants and Wells Fargo evicted 262 tenants, according to the report. The report notes that there were 3,479 reported foreclosures in Rhode Island in 2008. Rosalina Collazo, who organized the Rhode Island Bank Tenant & Homeowner Association, said in a statement that the report makes clear that there need to be legislative steps taken to protect tenants. 'It has become painfully clear that the banks are not going to operate in good faith,' she said. 'Therefore, we need the General Assembly to step in and protect the citizens of Rhode Island.'"The report also found: "Over two thirds (68% of all foreclosures related to evictions involved properties located in census block groups whose minority population was greater than 20% according to 2000 US Census data. About half (51%) of all foreclosure related evictions involved properties located in census block groups whose minority population was greater than 50%. In 2000, minorities comprised 18.1% of Rhode Island's population."LEGAL SERVICES STRUCTURE*Beltway Bulletin*4. House Appropriations Committee Would Raise Federal LSC Funding to $440 Million, but Lift Only the "Attorneys' Fees Restriction," Despite Obama Recommendation to Also Lift Private Money Restriction and Class Action Restriction; Issue Now Moves to SenateOn June 4, 2009, the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies (CJS), which has jurisdiction over funding for LSC, considered its annual appropriations bill. The bill, which was passed out of the Subcommittee the same day, raised LSC's total funding level to $440 million, up from $390 million in FY 2009, a 12.8% increase.Authored by the Chair of the CJS Subcommittee, Representative Alan Mollohan (WV), the bill also removes the restriction that currently prohibits LSC grantees from using LSC funds to seek attorneys' fee awards -- a limitation that had been included as a rider to the LSC appropriation every year since 1996. The bill does not lift any of the other LSC funding restrictions.The full bill passed the full House Appropriations Committee on June 9, 2009, with no changes to the LSC provisions, and now awaits passage by the full House.The bill's call for increased funding is a greatly welcomed boost, especially because the economic downturn has substantially increased legal need while reducing the availability of other legal services funding. However, the bill does not lift other LSC restrictions, specifically, it does not lift the restriction on non-LSC funds, and it does not lift the restriction on class actions. Pres. Obama's detailed budget had called for removal of these two additional restrictions.In the Senate, the CJS Appropriations Subcommittee has yet to produce an FY 2010 appropriation bill, but is expected to turn to this now. The CJS Subcommittee is free to draft its own bill, and could do so along the lines of the President's budget. Senator Barbara Mikulski (MD) chairs the Senate's CJS Subcommittee.Once both the House and Senate have passed their respective CJS bills, differences between the two versions will likely be addressed and reconciled by a conference committee.*Funding*5. Increased Court Fees in Civil Proceedings are Expected to Fill Gaping Hole in Legal Aid Budgets in Connecticut, Preventing Further Layoffs; Now Await Governor's ApprovalChristian Nolan, "Higher Filing Fees Would Benefit Legal Aid," Connecticut Law Tribune, June 8, 2009Connecticut Law Tribune writes: "Connecticut attorneys won't have to pay a higher occupational tax, but the legislature has approved a measure that would increase many court filing fees by $55 to $75. The annual proceeds - estimated at $7.7 million - would go to the state's legal aid agencies, which are mired in a fiscal crisis. Their main funding source - proceeds from Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts, or IOLTA - has all but dried up due to low interest rates and the poor housing market. Advocates for the 'big three' legal aid [agencies] - [LSC-funded] Connecticut Legal Services, Greater Hartford Legal Aid and New Haven Legal Assistance Association - lobbied lawmakers for help. Their efforts were rewarded, and the bill that would raise fees and give the revenues to financial aid awaits the signature of Gov. M. Jodi Rell. 'If this gets approved, we would not have any further layoffs,' said CLS Executive Director Steven Eppler-Epstein. 'I just think this an example of how, in a really tough year, the legislature can work creatively and in a bipartisan way to solve problems. It certainly means a lot to us' . . . . So the new money will come from higher filing fees that many lawyers acknowledge will be passed along to clients in the form of higher legal bills. If the bill becomes law, the jury fee in civil actions would rise from $350 to $425; the filing fee for a Superior Court case would increase from $225 to 300; the designation of a case as complex litigation would go from $250 to $325; and an application for a pre-judgment remedy will rise from $100 to $175 . . . . Fees for small claims and housing cases would not change."The fee increases would not affect indigent litigants, as the state already waives fees for those who cannot afford to pay.CIVIL GIDEON6. People Needing Lawyers in High-Stakes Cases are One Step Closer to a Civil Right to Counsel as Bill to Create Pilot Programs Clears California Assembly and Moves to SenateMatthew Pordum, "Right to Counsel Bill Clears the State Assembly," The Daily Journal (CA), June 8, 2009The Daily Journal reports: "The Assembly passed a bill on Friday [June 5, 2009] that would make California the first state in the nation to establish a right to counsel for low-income people in critical human-needs civil cases. The bill, AB 590, introduced by Assemblyman Mike Feuer, D-Los Angeles, passed on a vote of 50-29, and would provide a legal voice for those in the state that can't afford an attorney. It would be funded through an increase in court fees. The program would seek to provide counsel to low-income people in cases where basic human needs, such as shelter, sustenance, safety, health or child custody are at stake. According to National Center for State Courts, more than 4.3 million Californians represent themselves in civil court proceedings, largely because they cannot afford a lawyer. 'I have seen first hand how having a lawyer can make a difference in cases involving critical matters,' said Feuer, who for eight years ran the non-profit legal center Bet Tzedek, which provides free legal representation to low income people, the elderly and the disabled. 'I saw the opportunity to bring this legislation and I feel strongly it will make a difference for the people in this state that right now need help the most.' Specifically the bill would require the Judicial Council to establish one or more pilot programs in selected courts across the state for three-year periods. Funding for the program will be secured through a $10 increase on certain fees for court services, including issuing a writ for enforcement of an order or judgment, issuing an order of sale, and filing and entering an award under the Workers' Compensation Law. Currently the fees for these services range between $15 and $20 . . . . The right to counsel bill was passed on the last day for bills to be passed out of the house of origin. It is now headed to the Senate Judiciary Committee."ANNOUNCEMENTS7. Lawyer at Maryland Legal Aid Bureau Writes Book, "Legal Aid Wealth: Surviving and Thriving on the Salary of a Public Interest Attorney;" Dedicates Proceeds to Loan Repayment Scholarships for Public Interest AttorneysCaryn Tamber, "All the Lifestyle that Legal Aid Wages Can Buy," The Daily Record (MD), June 5, 2009The Daily Record writes: "When Janine A. Scott started at the [LSC-funded] Legal Aid Bureau more than 10 years ago, her salary was $28,000 a year. She soon discovered that she loved the work, but the money was a sticking point. How could she have the kind of life she wanted on such a paltry salary? 'I wanted to stay, and so I became motivated to make the salary work within what my expenses are,' said Scott, 38, who is now the supervising attorney for the domestic law unit at Legal Aid. Scott, who briefly worked as an accountant before going to law school, sat down and made a list of all of her financial goals. There were a lot of them: She wanted to pay down her law school and credit card debt, buy a house and travel once a year . . . . She looked at her going-out spending habits and determined that she should create a 'fun account' and keep it at $250 at all times . . . . Scott said she has achieved her goals by meticulously charting every bit of money that comes in and goes out. She waits for sales on clothing and discount deals on travel, and she would not dream of buying snacks from a vending machine when she could get them in bulk from Target or Wal-Mart for so much less . . . . Scott said that a few years ago, co-workers started asking her how she had managed to afford her comfortable life on a modest salary. That's when she decided to write a book on doing well on a do-gooder's salary. The book, which she self-published and plans to market at conferences and bar events, is called 'Legal Aid Wealth: Surviving and Thriving on the Salary of a Public Interest Attorney.' It came out last month."Scott says: "My goal in writing this book is to encourage law students and lawyers to work in the area of public interest law by showing how I managed my modest salary to achieve financial success. I plan on using a portion of the profits from the book to create student loan repayment scholarships for public interest attorneys."To learn more about Scott and her book, visit her website at www.legalaidwealth.com.-------------------------------------------------------------ABA Manual on Sale -- "Innovative Fundraising Ideas for Legal Services" (2004) - $1The ABA is seeking to reduce excess inventory of this comprehensive fundraising manual.

Coming home

Posted by SheriGrutz on June 7, 2009 at 9:54am

When I get about 3 blocks from my home coming home, I'm given deep and terrible head pain that lasts the rest of the night, some signal I guess that I shouldn't be here. It starts terribly in my car and then seeps over into the house. They've been sexually attacking me lately, the arousal is too much, even after church on Sunday night.I'm going on vacation on Tuesday, friends, to Memphis, TN, with my kids. I'm really looking forward to this. I hope for pain free days and nights with little arousal or tampering. I appreciate the prayers and thoughts for the kids and me, thank you.Sheri

I am hoping someone out has a suggestion on what to do once you have found out one of your neighbors is bombarding you with weapons . Aside from going over there and putting them out of their misery.. I recently got some great pictures of my computer screen showing that my I.P. address is coming from an address some 6 or 7 miles away . i used WEI_FI. which checks the location of your computer's IP it showed my name jhavluck and it was no where near my residence and the IP should be in my boyfriends name as i have nothing in my name ..i even have pics of task manager showing no users and no internet yet i am on the internet. too many pics to even mention Any ideas of who i should send them too or contact about them when i talked to Comcast they said someone else must have the same name but, when i told her havluck is a rare family name and i know everyone with the havluck name she said she didn't know then how she could help me??? what next?leave me some kind of ideas please.

Singapore Mind Control Victim

Posted by Thomas Koh on May 30, 2009 at 6:30pm

Please go here for updated torture account.Adapted from my blog:http://chip-implanted-mc-victim.blogspot.comMC Victim ProfileI am a chip-implanted mind-control victim(Singapore) who have been constantly harrassed since 2006 after the "accidental death" of my Industrial attachment in a government defence company,DSO National Laboratory,in which i was condemned to take "medicine" for the rest of my life for many kinds of diseases like AIDS,amnesia,schizoprenia,ADHD,PSTD,Pakinsan's disease,reading disability,learning disability,"blindness"(cannot see),whatever types of diseases or illness you can name of,I was being rumoured to have or "diagnosed of"(believe to have illegally forged self report).Realized that it was actually a conspiracy probably to use me as slaves in the name of religious purposes,charity organisations ,mental health institute,"experiments","personality changes","election","nation building","investigation","nation security","you are a God","common purposes conspiracy","psyops warfare experiments subjects",assasination attempt to cover up crimes and many many others committed by these evil liars/criminals.Only realized that i was chip-implanted and the perpetrators can actually remotely read my mind from a distance just a few months ago, when a perpetrator tries to "threathen me" for their purposes.They have psychologically abused me not only at home but public places as well.Public PlacesThese perpetrators have tried to torture me in many many ways even in public places.Perpetrators are everywhere on the streets,all stationed at almost every streets and corners in my country waiting for me.They would show me some kinds of weird hand signals like numbers 4,6,8,1,2,5,finger pointing up,pointing down.Constant verbal abuses by these perpetrators are very often.They normally come together with hundreds of people,including young children,adults,elderly,students and people from all walks of life and professions.They will take turns to follow me in wherever i go be it,shopping centres, buses or trains.They will come into the train that i board in hundreds.They will send me suicide,sublimal messages whenever they walk past me.I was seemed to be under the "monarch mind-control/MKULTRA project" which i had read somewhere.Home AbuseAt home,my "robot family members" will also often mumble some weird mouth and hand signals in front of me purposely in sychronization with "TV Talking","neighbours who try to produce loud thug noises directly above my room","deliberate car bangings near my neighbourhood which is full of carpark".Weird telephone rings picked up by my "family members" with common words "embedded in their conversations with the same words as mentioned above" are almost an everyday thing.I have experienced tons and tons of psychological abuse by "my family members" whereby they always give me all sorts of "stupid contradicting advices" which they themselves do not even know,showing "hot" and "cold" emotions in different time intervals.Sometimes they will force me to watch the "tv programs that actually talks to me" and then add in some "fully planned conversations" so as to manipulate me.Whenever , I try to contact similiar victims in the internet whereby it was secretly monitored by those "invisble perpetrators",the next moment they will call up a group of people including strangers to my house for their "verbal abuse session".There will be many attempts to force me to go and "pray to the god".There are also many attempts by my family to tamper with my things while i was asleep or while i was out.Frequent deliberate tampering of my computer and belongings are also not a rare phenonemon.TV media and newspapersI realized that the TV is actually "talking to my mind" in 2008 as mentioned earlier on after a death threat from a "staged perpetrator".The TV can instantly reply me in whatever my mind is thinking.When i try to capture the TV program with my Camcorder,it stops immediately.At that point of time, I can be100% sure that the TV is actually "talking to me".Sometimes the TV show even "tell me what i am wearing" as soon as i reach home.Deliberate Sirens,banging of car doors and people screamingLate at night, sometimes there will be people screaming with a very high-pitch sound which seem like a "woman voice" with verbal abuse or insulting message.In the past, ambulance or police sirens will come following a death threat,abuse that come from nearby passerbys.Invisible voices out of nowhereInvisible voices suspected that come from the v2k technology often comes in while i was working on my computer or when i try to sleep at night.They have tried to deprive me of sleeps for countless nights but lately do not know why i was being put into a "curfew of 12pm ligths off policy".Lately,I can even hear these "invisible voices" at public places and shopping centres.

Why reality television has invited the media to exploit us at all times

Posted by SheriGrutz on May 29, 2009 at 2:46am

The media stalks children. Especially children who star on reality t.v. shows, because American wants to see these kids at their leisure, and not when they are acting, but to see them as they are, so much so that their parents are revealed of everything that they might want to keep private.Private? I think it was George Bush who took away all of our privacy, and he certainly indirectly ushered in an era of reality television that would eventually know no boundaries, and now, I wonder, will it finally implode upon itself and end by going to far?The media has seen my children naked, and some have suggested this is ultimate pornography that they are taking part in, but they will never come forward and admit what their eyes have seen. They have also seen me naked, going to the bathroom, taking a shower, having sex, dining out, making dinner, going to movies, etc. The media has since gone way to far with targeted individuals and I think many times they forget that they can’t do this stuff with average citizens like Jon and Kate and their kids. They forget that we all cherish our privacy.I haven’t had a moment alone to myself in 15 years. Neither, likely, have my children. And what does the media do? They blame me for this, the same way that the media likes to blame Jon for supposedly inviting people here. The media will blame anyone but themselves, they are incorrigible, and insufferable. The media are not real, and the people they exploit, are. Funny.

Anger management

Posted by SheriGrutz on May 28, 2009 at 8:20pm

What I told my psychiatrist, "Yeah, I need help with anger management...the truth is, I'm not angry enough."We need soldiers here people!We need people who have been butchered so long and so thoroughly that they can't even think straight anymore!We need to fight!There is no rational way to talk about being tortured!Fight on! Fight on!

What we know and how it effects us

Posted by SheriGrutz on May 28, 2009 at 7:58pm

From my personal experience with electronic torture, the first thought I had of it, the first I knew that it even existed and could be done, was when I emailed EducateYourself.com and the editor, Ken Adachi, emailed me back, "Are you experiencing electronic torture?" And then very soon after, I did.Many times during this long trial of terrible pain, weeks I had it, if my mind went toward that thought of torture, more torture would happen. There were many other things attached to my thoughts and feelings, but torture was one of them that was drawn up through thought. It isn't consistent though, other times, other weapons are used beyond the mental perception.This is a very dangerous thing to tell others because others will say then its your schizophrenic mind playing tricks on you, you are actually causing the majority of your pain through your own dwelling on the power they have over you and the infliction is based upon your enlightenment that it actually exists and is happening.Lately, I'm finding day upon day of terrible head pain, (some?) most of which is alleviated through reading books and not thinking about the pain, not dwelling on it, engaging in activities, purposefully forgetting about what I am going through, and then the effects are not nearly as bad. Its very difficult to do when the pain is so excruciating, and it doesn't always work, but its something we can all try.

If signed by President Clinton as expected, this bill will transformthe Internet overnight from the freest communications medium to the most heavilyregulated medium in the United States.CDT believes this legislation is unconstitutional. We are committed to challengingit in the courts at the earliest possible opportunity.Despite the sustained effort over the past 12 months by Senators Leahy (D-VT),Feingold (D-WI), and Representatives Chris Cox (R-CA), Rick White (R-WA), and RonWyden (D-OR) to defeat the bill, the House passed the measure on a vote of 414 - 16,while the Senate concurred a few hours later on a vote of 91 - 5. Ironically, thevote comes exactly one year to the day that Senator Exon (D-NE) originally introducedthe proposal (2/1/95).CONGRESS MAKES CRIMINALS OF MOST INTERNET USERSThe Communications Decency Act, enacted as part of a massive telecommunicationsreform legislation, will impose $250,000 fines and prison terms for anyone whoposts "indecent" material, including the "7 dirty words", the text of classicworks of fiction such as The Catcher In The Rye or Ulysses, artwork containingimages of nudes, or rap lyrics, in a public forum.CDT strongly opposes this legislation. We believe the bill threatens the veryexistence of the Internet as a means for free expression, education, and politicaldiscourse. The bill is an unwarranted, unconstitutional intrusion by the Federalgovernment into the private lives of all Americans.Although the free speech rights of Internet users and the free flow of informationonline received a major setback today, the battle is far from over. President Clintonis expected to sign the legislation in the coming days. Several civil liberties andpublic interest advocacy groups, including CDT, People for the American Way, EFF, andthe ACLU are already preparing to challenge these new restrictions in court. Otheraffected entities, including commercial content providers, Internet Service Providers,and the commercial online services industries, are also expected to mount courtchallenges to this legislation. CDT is confident that the courts will find theCommunications Decency Act unconstitutional and reject it outright.INTERNET COMMUNITY ACTIVISM MADE A CRITICAL DIFFERENCEAlthough the CDA passed by Congress today represents a significant threat to theviability of the Internet and the free speech rights of individual users, theefforts of the Internet.community to mobilize against the bill kept it from beinga lot worse.The Christian Coalition, with the support of House Judiciary Committee ChairmanHenry Hyde (R-IL), fought hard to hold online service providers criminally liablefor materials generated by their subscribers. Fortunately, these efforts were notsuccessful. Holding providers liable would have forced them to pre-screen allmaterial on their networks, or, worse yet, shut down entire parts of their servicesfor fear of massive fines and prison sentences. The Christian Coalition was alsounsuccessful in their efforts to remove provisions encouraging the development anddeployment of parental control applications.Due to the efforts of the 115,000 Internet users who signed the petition againstthe CDA, the more than 20,000 users who in one day flooded Congress with phonecalls, faxes, and email messages, and those who throughout 1995 regularly calledtheir Congresspeople to express concerns about the various proposals, the Internetcommunity showed itself to be a true political force with real influence over thelegislative process. Although we did not accomplish all of our most importantobjectives, we have become a powerful force. This is not the last time Congresswill consider issues vital to the interests of Internet users across the UnitedStates. We must never loose sight of the fact that, despite the apparent defeattoday, there is still a tremendous amount of work to be done.SEVERAL KEY MEMBERS OF CONGRESS FOUGHT FOR THE RIGHTS OF INTERNET USERSAlthough a majority of Congress today demonstrated a complete lack of understandingof the Internet and the implications of the Communications Decency Act, severalmembers deserve credit for standing up for freedom of speech and the free flow ofinformation online.During the course of the debate over the last year on the CDA, Senators PatrickLeahy (D-VT) and Russ Feingold (D-WI), along with Representatives Chris Cox (R-CA),Rick White (R-WA), Michael Oxley (R-OH), Ron Wyden (D-OR), and Ed Markey (D-MA),showed courage and conviction by working to support enlightened alternatives togovernment content restrictions. These members have shown themselves to be friendsof the Internet, and we look forward to working with them on other issues which lieahead.ANALYSIS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS DECENCY ACT PASSED TODAYThe legislation approved today was not changed from a previous version releasedDecember 21, 1995 (See CDT Policy Post No. 33). Briefly, the proposal containsseveral troubling elements. Among other things, the bill:* Relies on the vague and blatantly unconstitutional "indecency"standard (Sec 502 (a) - (c))* Prohibits sending "indecent" material directly to a minor or makingindecent material available for display in a manner available to aminor (including World Wide Web pages, ftp sites, or usenetnewsgroups) (Sec 502 (d)).* No longer contains the provision of the Cox/Wyden/White billprohibiting the FCC from imposing content or other regulations on theInternet or other interactive media.* Would allow states to impose additional restrictions on non-commercialactivities such as free-nets, BBS's, and non-profit content providers(Sec 502 (h)).* Creates a new crime for the solicitation of minors using a computer,the US mail, or any other means of interstate or foreign commerce (Sec508).The full text of the bill, along with other relevant background information(including final vote tallies when available) can be found at CDT's InternetCensorship Issues Web Page (http://www.cdt.org/cda.html).As CDT prepares to fight this issue in court, we will continue to update you onour progress as information becomes available.For More Information Contact:Jerry Berman, Executive DirectorDaniel Weitzner, Deputy Director+1.202.637.9800-----------------------------------------------------------------------(3) SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATIONBe sure you are up to date on the latest public policy issues affecting civilliberties online and how they will affect you!

Brain electrodes would be placed in close proximity to the brain or deep within brain tissue. When a neurological event such as the onset of an epileptic seizure occurs, EEG signals from the electrodes are processed by signal conditioning means in a control module that can be placed beneath the patient's scalp, within the patient's chest, or situated externally on the patient. Neurological event detection means in the control module will then cause a response to be generated for stopping the neurological event. The response could be an electrical signal to brain electrodes or to electrodes located remotely in the patient's body. The response could also be the release of medication or the application of a sensory input such as sound, light or mechanical vibration or electrical stimulation of the skin.

Space Command officials exceed GPS standardPosted 5/26/2009 Updated 5/26/2009 Email story Print storyhttp://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?storyID=1231507115/26/2009 - PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. (AFNS) -- Air Force Space Command officials here maintain the Global Positioning System constellation that now has 30 operational satellites, six more than the standard."I have high confidence we will continue to sustain at least the 24 satellites required to maintain our current performance standard," said Gen. C. Robert "Bob" Kehler, the Air Force Space Command commander.The current number of satellites being used by Air Force for global positioning is the most satellites and the greatest capability to date, since GPS came into fruition in the 1970s."We are committed to maintaining our current level of service, while striving to increase and improve service and capability through on-going modernization efforts," said Lt. Gen. John T. "Tom" Sheridan, commander of the Space and Missile Systems Center, which is the acquisitions arm for Air Force Space Command. "The Air Force will continue to execute an achievable growth path maintaining GPS as the premier provider of positioning, navigation and timing for the military and civilian users around the world."Just as it was reported in the Government Accountability Office's report May 7, Air Force Space Command officials acknowledged the potential for an availability gap years ago, and has actively pursued and institutionalized procedures and processes to mitigate the potential gap or minimize any impact. Command officials developed key processes within the operational community as well as the acquisition community to extend the life of on-orbit assets and to ensure GPS capability is delivered in a timely manner.The Air Force launched the seventh of its current block of IIR-M satellites in April, and will launch another one this fall followed by the first of 12 Block IIF satellites in early fiscal 2010. The IIF's sophisticated L-band payload will include new hardware that serves the civil user community. The next generation of GPS satellites, the GPS IIIA, with additional navigation signals for both civilian and military users will improve the accuracy and availability for all users. GPS IIIA is scheduled for first launch in 2014."New acquisition approaches, including phased acquisition and prototyping, will reduce risk to constellation sustainment in the future," General Sheridan said."Let me state emphatically; since we declared Full Operational Capability in 1995, the Air Force has maintained the constellation above the required 24 GPS satellites on orbit at 95 percent. In fact, we have achieved sub-three meter accuracy," General Kehler said. "The Air Force has been a good GPS steward continually providing 'better than expected' service to our GPS users. At this point, we foresee no significant loss of service in the future, near or far."Space operations vital to Air Force, nationPosted 5/26/2009 Updated 5/26/2009 Email story Print storyhttp://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?storyID=123150936by Staff Sgt. J.G. BuzanowskiSecretary of the Air Force Public Affairs5/26/2009 - WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- Air Force officials discussed the importance of space as a warfighting domain before members of the Senate May 20 on Capitol Hill.Senior Air Force leaders in the space realm answered questions from the Senate Armed Services Committee Strategic Force Subcommittee, telling them that Air Force officials were postured to make the most of their assets as part of the joint fight.Gen. C. Robert "Bob" Kehler, the Air Force Space Command commander, told the subcommittee that the command's efforts to provide the services with resources to maintain a strong presence in space have been and continue to be a vital part of the national defense strategy."Our mission is to provide an integrated constellation of space and cyberspace capabilities at the speed of need," General Kehler said. "Our vision is to be the leading source of emerging and integrated space and cyberspace capabilities."General Kehler spoke of two key decisions the Air Force made: The creation of Air Force Global Strike Command and the assignment of cyberspace tasks to AFSPACE."Space capabilities contribute across the spectrum of regular and irregular combat and noncombat operations, and provide joint commanders a decisive advantage," he said. "The cyberspace domain is inextricably linked to the other domains in which the U.S. military operates."With the recent budget release and the cancellation of the TSAT program, the Air Force is "harvesting" the technologies, systems and lessons learned so it can apply them to the next generation of satellites."What's important is that we synchronize capabilities with needs," General Kehler said.Gary E. Payton, the deputy undersecretary of the Air Force for space programs, also testified."Our space systems are the envy of the world," he wrote in his official statement. "Our surveillance satellites are able to detect missile launches anywhere in the world, our communications systems allow the president precise and assured control over nuclear forces, our wideband systems rapidly transmit critical information to our warfighters, our weather satellites allow us to predict future weather half a world away, our Global Positioning Systems enable knowledge down to centimeters and timing down to nanoseconds."Mr. Payton said a strong space presence enhances the joint fight."These sophisticated systems make each Soldier, Sailor, Marine and Airman safer and more capable."Space Preservation Act of 2005(H.R. 2420)(See also: GN Response)http://thomas.loc.gov/home/search.htmlTitle: To preserve the cooperative, peaceful uses of space for the benefit of all humankind by prohibiting the basing of weapons in space and the use of weapons to destroy or damage objects in space that are in orbit, and for other purposes.Sponsor: Rep Kucinich, Dennis J.

Mr. Speaker, the administration, through senior Air Force officials, wants the U.S. to achieve military supremacy in outer space. Dominating all earth from outer space will have an out-of-world price tag, perhaps more than $1 trillion.A question: Why reach for the stars with guns in our hands? Are there weapons of mass destruction on Mars?Yesterday 28 Members of Congress signed on to H.R. 2420, a bill to stop the weaponization of space, urging the President to sign an international treaty to ban such weapons. If we work together towards creating peace on earth, we would not bring war to the high heavens.While some fantasize about being ``masters of the universe,'' there are 45 million Americans without health insurance. Corporations are reneging on pension obligations. Social Security is under attack. We are headed towards a $400 billion annual budget deficit, a $600 billion trade deficit, an $8 trillion national debt. The cost of the war in Iraq is over $200 billion.

Author of U.S. Government Mind Control Experiments on Children, he talks about the impact of the mind control testimony submitted to the Presidential hearings on radiation experiments. Jon also speaks about the mindset of those responsible for these horrors and the implications to society.JOHN RAPPOPORT:We are going to launch into this subject, but with a few comments before we start. Mind control is one of those things people don’t like to talk about, including yours truly frankly. I got into it, and I saw the evidence, and it was … you know, there it was.OfÞcially MKULTRA was a CIA mind control project that lasted about 10 years … let’s say from 1952 to 1962-63 … Before it started, there was ARTICHOKE AND BLUEBIRD … those were other CIA mind control projects. After it ended, supposedly in 1963, an ofÞce called ORD OfÞce of Research and Development took it over. Their job we don’t know about … we are not sure of everything they did because that information is not available. It is in 130 boxes of material somewhere … maybe in Langley, Virginia but they won’t release it. Various people have said that they employed more sophisticated measures than MKULTRA to do mind control on people.I think one of the reasons that this is such an important subject is because we are looking at people here who have a certain attitude about life itself, and these people are in the government and they are in important positions in the government … and in order to understand what they are really about, we get a look at them that is unprecedented by looking at what they did with this kind of experimentation on humans. In other words, they hate life. That’s pretty clear. They have their own version of life, which is like “death” and that’s where their life is … that’s what they feed off of. I would say that most, if not all, secret societies are based on the same concept. Once you cut through all the paraphenalia and symbology of secret societies, you are basically dealing with people who have, for one reason or another, given up on life completely. They are now into the form of life that is involved with death … that’s their territory. And it’s a pretty horrendous thing to say, but I think that would be borne out. My own feeling is that we are talking about a conþuence of different inþuences here on individuals that go back a long way into the past … into the history of families in which they grew up … I am talking about long term history of what those families are … and these people who are entirely functional, but entirely psychotic if you want to use that term. It doesn’t really do it justice but it tells you something about them. I am talking about John Foster Dulles and Allen Dulles … I would say they are very good examples. Look at their faces … look at what you see there … you see almost nothing. There is a kind of mask-like quality about these people, an emptiness — very competent people who go about their business, who seem to have no feeling or “juice” for life. And I would say these people are often born into families who go back centuries possibly in that kind of disconnected condition from life. While they are able to function very successfully in society and deal with power, because that is their ticket and their coinage, they Þnd that control and destruction of life is the only thing really that gives them life.Since I have read this information that I will be sharing with you tonight, I am beginning to come to the conclusion that the people who were involved in the nuclear weapons scenario really wanted to destroy the world. It may seem obvious to say but they see that as “liberation” if you can wrap your mind around that … as a release from, what they consider to be an oppressive situation that just simply can’t be tolerated. They see destruction as liberation and so the only thing that would hold them back, I think, from destroying the world is the feeling that they may not have the playground left in which to enact their scenarios of destruction. There would only be one, and that would be the explosion that would take care of the planet.I would say that this is what we are dealing with. I would put up as a model against that, on the other side, although this man is not a messiah by any means, but if you know any of the work by Wilhelm Reich, the psychiatrist who broke away from Freud, he developed an entire psychology around the concept of liberation of energy … from within the person … that was locked up. It was really the Þrst time … he was the main Þgure in the history of Western psychology, let’s put it that way … which was a recent effort. To simply say that we are talking about energy here, and that freedom and the release of free energy from a human being against blocked up channels gives you what is called “life” — that’s life. And he was, of course, destroyed by the government. He had a device that was an energy accumulator device. He was arrested because a federal agent posing as a buyer or distributor of that device offered to take off his hands and bring it through state lines and so he was served a su bpoena to appear before the federal government that involved illegal interstate commerce, and his comment was rather native, he said, “how can they possibly serve me … that’s politics … I am talking about science.” He didn’t honour the subpoena, they put him in jail, and he died. He was talking about fantastical things like plumes of blue energy shooting out of the top of a person into the sky and this kind of liberation of energy would occur. He said that energy creates clouds, and storms, and weathers, the same energy that we have inside ourselves is identical and he called the unit of it an “orgone”. He invented these wild machines that were able to, supposedly, manoeuvre this energy around. He is a fascinating person, and I always hold him up as a person who ultimately stands for the other side of things — which is life.The reason that you Þnd some of these fascist lunatics involved with magic and occult sciences and heavy, heavy, heavy symbology and all of that … is because within these secret societies, they are dealing in death as life.If you could imagine life as a kind of hourglass and they fall through the top and through the skinny part and out the bottom and they see that as being a form of living, and they take their sensation and their thrills from some sort of upside down version of life. I wanted to paint that little sketch before I started, because we are going to get into some pretty strange territory here. I want to say that I think this is basically what is going on. It’s important to know that these people occupy key positions in our government and still do and they are not accountable. It tells you something about what is called a democracy …I have brought some testimony together into this book called, US Government Mind Control Experiments on Children. It’s a compilation basically of testimony that was given in Washington and before I read from it while I can still remember … I want to make a few announcements, a little bit about myself and the people who are here tonight. This is Deep River Books. She Who Remembers is taping this talk … the tape is available afterwards. I will probably forget to remind you and Jeannie will stand up and say something. Ralph Cole of Justice Vision is taping. He has also been taping meetings of Heal, an alternative AIDS group which is doing some excellent work about bringing the truth about AIDS to people and he has some of those tapes available too. This book is available upstairs at Deep River, and so is another book of mine, called AIDS Inc. which I wrote in 1988.I am investigative reporter, for about the last Þfteen years, and I basically have been investigating what I call medical fascism which I believe is the mechanism by which people are going to be dragged into Brave New World if that is the outcome that we unfortunately end up with. That issue is not decided, but because the medical world has such great authority with people, they believe so much in doctors and experts, they are going to try to make that move … they are going to try to bring people to heel under the aegis of medicine … they are going to try to say that they know science, and therefore you have to listen to what they say, and if they say take a drug, or you are suffering from a germ, there is no questioning that. If they say you are detained or quarantined, there is no questioning that … I see that as being something that is coming around here.This testimony was given before the President’s Committee on Radiation on March 15, 1995. We had three people who went up there from New Orleans … Valerie Wolf, a therapist and two of her clients, Claudia Mullen and Chris Denicola. God only knows how they got in and testiÞed. I have heard the story from Valerie, and I still don’t even believe it, but … basically she told me the screener up there, the person who was screening applicants to speak about cruel and unusual radiation experiments on Americans … she said, well I have clients and they are saying that some of these doctors who administered radiation, administered mind control to them so we want to talk. And they said okay. They testiÞed, from what I can gather, for a very short period of time verbally. They submitted a lot of testimony to the Committee from other therapists and other patients, and they somehow got in … nobody knows how … but they got in and that opens a certain kind of door for us, because it puts it on th e record and it gives it a certain legitimacy and what these patients essentially said was, from the time they were 4 years old, 7 years old, they were tortured by the CIA and the military. You can call it something more sophisticated, but it really isn’t. It involved electroshock, physical torture, lights, spinning tables, hallucinogenic drugs, sleep deprivation, isolation tanks, hypnosis, mind programming with commands, layers of trauma that induced buffer zones of amnesia between the traumas, and essentially thereby created multiple personalities. As one psychological theory has it, if you induce enough trauma, you get a split in the personality because the person can’t face the pain, so they put that part out of it, and they come with a new personality. If you keep doing it, you invoke or create different personalities, and then if you are the CIA you try to program these sub-personalities to do different things like memorize information photographi cally and not remember it, do courier operations, assassinations, sex agents, blackmail operations, all of this.Now I must say that I think some representations of this kind of operation are a little too neat and clean … that is people assume it is like (clicks Þngers …) … okay we will create 37 personalities now and program each one … do these commands and call it up and da da da da … I really doubt that it works that way. I think that in many cases, it is a total wash-out. In many cases, it is just psychosis time, madness. (In many cases people are killed because they just won’t respond, and they will not stand for it no matter what is induced …) There are two tracks here … and these are the tracks. There is testimony by the people saying this was done to me … and then you decide if you believe that or not. Then over here, there are attempts to verify through obtaining documents from the CIA and the military that such experiments did in fact go on to create a parallel track of research to give credence to what these people are saying over here because there are many good people w ho want to say this is all nut-case territory over here, and we don’t want to know about it, and frankly, I don’t blame them. So the researchers have said, the ones who are really into this, we want to try to document it as well on the other side and efforts have been made in that direction, and continue to be made in that direction.Let me introduce into the record, and it would be nice if we were all sitting here in front of an Arlen “Single Bullet Theory” Spector and people like that … something called Volume Seven, Recent Advances in Biological Psychiatry, the Proceedings of the19th Annual Convention and ScientiÞc Program of the Society of Biological Psychiatry, Los Angeles, May 13, 1964. The OfÞcers of this group include Ewen Cameron, M.D., Psychiatrist from Canada many will recognize as possibly the major monster on the planet as far as mind control … much has been written about him … I am not going to talk much about him tonight. In Part One in the Table of Contents, we have the following paper: “Automatic Nervous System Responses in Hospitalized Children Treated with LSD and UML” and one of the researchers is Loretta Bender. Loretta Bender cannot be nailed down as being a CIA employee. She was in fact, in 1961, a president of the Society of Biological Psychiatry, but she was part of a small group of researchers who were doing early LSD research … most of whom were doing it for the CIA. She attended conferences where those people showed up … like this, and she attended at least one conference by the Josiah Macey Foundation which was a conduit and front for CIA money. The paper is rather lengthy but I am just going to read you a few things from it. This is not part of the book.“In the children’s unit of Creedmore State Hospital with a resident population of 450 patients, ages 4 to 15, we have investigated the responses of some of these children to lysergic acid and related drugs in the psychiatric, psychological and biochemical areas. Two groups of boys receiving daily LSD, UML (which is a methylated derivative of LSD) or psilocybin … at Þrst the medication was given weekly but was eventually given daily for periods of up to several months. Dosages remain constant throughout, LSD 150 mcg. (which is a standard for an adult trip), psilocybin 20 mg. daily or UML 12 mg. daily, all given in two divided doses. The average duration of treatment was 2 to 3 months.” Daily. Children, 7, 9 , 11 years old …The psychiatrist who sent me this told me that he has a statement at home which he is going to fax me which shows that in several cases at least with these children, this was carried on for several years daily. Of course, all of the testimony here about what happened to the children is they got nothing but better … these were autistic, retarded (a loose term signiÞying really nothing), but autistic or schizophrenic children … that was the diagnosis. They all “responded, became more straightforward, and here” and whatever. You decide …That is a very signiÞcant piece of evidence here. That shows that as early as 1964, the CIA was in fact experimenting … or a person with probable CIA connections … was experimenting on young children with LSD and other similar drugs.Now I have here a staff memorandum given to me by Harlan Girard, a very active researcher in his Þeld, to Members of the Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments from the Advisory Committee staff on June 27, 1994, and this is a summary of the CIA, its history and its activities. In other words, members of the Committee on Radiation staff submitted this to the Committee at large to kind of clue them in on what the CIA is prior to the 1995 Hearing of the President’s Committee on Radiation, and they say, “In the 1950’s and 60’s the CIA engaged in an extensive program of human experimentation using drugs, psychological and other means, in search of techniques to control human behaviour for counter intelligence and covert action purposes.” This is quite an admission. In other words, they are training agents, it says here, by using mind control on them. It doesn’t say they are using mind control just to sort of get information from foreign agents. The possibility that the CIA itself engaged in human radiation experiments emanates from references in a 1963 CIA Inspector General’s report on project MKULTRA which was a “program concerned with research and development of chemical, biological and radiological materials capable of deployment in clandestine operations to control human behaviour.” Now in the rest of this report, they indicate that they cannot Þnd any records of speciÞc radiological experiments carried out by the CIA, and obviously they are looking. This doesn’t look like a total whitewash.But that doesn’t mean that you believe them, it just means that those records have been destroyed or hidden away deep hidden away … because everybody agrees that radiation is a bad thing … and the CIA … the last thing they want is for people to believe that they used radiation on people. But this does indicate that there was a reference about research and development of radiation by the CIA for purposes of deployment in clandestine operations to control human behaviour. How the hell do you use radiation in clandestine operations to control human behaviour? Well, I would suggest that you use it to traumatize people whom you are training as agents so that you can gain control of them and you therefore have them under your thumb, and they do what you want them to do. The testimony here tends to bear that out … that radiation was used on people as a method of inducing trauma, not as a way of testing … you know … does radiation cause harm? Which is sort of the gist of the President ‘s Committee on Radiation … they went half-way. They said “terrible things were done to unwitting Americans … radiation was used by doctors on them in hospitals” but this goes further, we are now talking about a whole other leve, because those those experiments which were supposedly carried on as a misguided effort to see what toxicity levels were like, unfortunate occurrences, things got out of control at times, isolated individuals did commit crimes, da da da da …. you know. But they were attempting to do medical research … and that’s one of those hypnotic phrases, “medical research”. I could probably put everybody to sleep just by saying “medical research, medical research …” (laughter) And people would reach into their pockets and come out with money, man … well hey, cancer and infantile paralysis and m.s. … whatever you want … I’ll give you money … medical research, medical research. Politicians know that’s the key they turn all the time … when they can’t Þgure out what to say, they say we need more money for research … and that means tax money and it means things you don’t want to be subjected to most of the time …Valerie Wolf is something else … this woman is down in New Orleans … she is seeing clients other people won’t see … therefore they tell strange stories. These are clients who have been Þred by other therapists … they are very unruly, out of control, they do not recover, nothing works, they cut themselves, they go into hospitals, they try to commit suicide … they are people that therapists generally þee from … and she says “let’s go …” That’s her scene … so it stands to reason that she would hear stories that other therapists cannot hear … and in her statement to the Committee on Radiation March 15, 1995, she says, “ … the research programs [that her clients were submitted to] included radiation, drugs, mind control and chemicals … my clients have reported all of these being used on them, although technically they were considered to be part of the mind control experiments. Generally it appears that therapists across the country are Þnding clients who have been subjected to mind control techniques. The consistency of their stories about the purpose of the mind control and the techniques such as electroshock, use of hallucinogens, sensory deprivation, spinning, dislocation of limbs, and sexual abuse is remarkable. There is almost nothing published on this aspect of mind control used on children, and these clients come from all over the country having had no contact with each other. From the small sample of therapists to whom I talked, it appears that about 25% of the clients report memories of being used in radiation experiments. It is possible that more people were exposed to radiation, but that the memories have not yet emerged because our awareness of this experimentation is so new.”Let me say now, before we get into it further, that the one organization in the United States that has tried to debunk all of this is called the False Memory Syndrome Foundation. They are based in Philadelphia. They say that any recovered memories in therapy, that is any patient who goes into therapy and recovers a memory is a liar or unintentionally lying because their therapist induced it, suggested it, guided it, okay? Now, I talked to these people and at certain levels they are very well meaning of course … that is always the way. I talked to their PR person and I asked when were you born, this organization? She said, “1992”. I said well how extensive is it? And she said, “We have a chapter in every state.” Now for anybody who has ever been an activist or worked in non-proÞt 501C3 … are you kidding me man? You have a chapter in every state in 3 years? You’re cooking, you are cooking … and in foreign countries they have chapters too. But no foundation money and no government funding … this is like, you know, they are like … walking on water … you know? (audience member: “It took McDonald’s longer …) There we go. That’s the False Memory Syndrome Foundation … (audience member: “individual contributions …”) It is true … now that organization was founded by Pamela Freyd … her daughter accused her husband of abuse as a child … and in the resultant uproar they founded this organization … Frontline on PBS did an entire episode on all of this …… and then received a letter, from I think it was the daughter’s brother who said, that was quite a presentation you put on about the FMSF and my mother … and I just wanted to tell you though that despite your sympathetic treatment of this organization, everything my sister said was absolutely true and they were abusing her from the time she was a little kid.” That’s interesting about the beginning of this organization.Now on the board of this organization we have such luminaries as Louis Joly West … Louis “I never worked for the CIA” Joly West. This guy has been documented to have done all kinds of stuff for the CIA and military on mind control stuff … gave LSD to an elephant, and killed it. Wanted to start the Centre for the Study of Violence at UCLA in the l970’s. We have letters, and this was going to be located in a used, abandoned missile base somewhere out north of LA, and part of the deal was they were going to do psychosurgery on violent offenders which is the selective melting of brain connections to keep people from being violent. And this was touted as being highly medical, very precise. This is right in the ballpark of what I am talking about here when they say “it’s all medical … we have miniaturized and we can take out certain neurons here and there, and everything’s cool.” Some people throw up their hands and say who am I to … I don’t know … maybe they are right …Peter Breggin, a psychiatrist who investigates toxic drugs and violence projects against citizens using psychiatry as a front … he lays it on psychiatrists. He discovered that the one case where they claimed a cure by psychosurgery was turned into a gibbering lunatic and that’s why he was cured of violence. He wasn’t able to even live unless somebody was taking care of him all the time and this particular patient was heralded as a cure by Frank Irvin and Bernie Sweet and these guys in the 70’s who were the doctors doing psychosurgery. That was their model, showcase cure of violence.So Louis West, who wanted to start this centre at UCLA, is on the board of FMSF and so is Martin Orne, a Harvard psychiatrist who has done contract work for the CIA in the past. And several other people who have those kinds of connections. They want to debunk this stuff right out of the box … forget it. This is the kind of stuff they want to debunk. Claudia Mullen, client of Valerie Wolf, reports to the Presidential Commission: “Between the years of 1957 and 1984 I became a pawn in a government scheme whose ultimate goal was mind control and to create the perfect spy. All through the use of chemicals, radiation, electroshock, hypnosis, drugs, isolation in tubs of water, sleep deprivation, brainwashing, and verbal, physical, emotional and sexual abuse. I was exploited unwittingly for nearly three decades of my life, and the only explanation given to me was that ‘the end justiÞes the means’ and I was serving my country in their bold effort to Þght communism. I can only summarize my circumstances by saying they took an already abused 7 year old child and compounded my suffering beyond belief. In 1958 I was to be tested, they told me, by some important doctors coming from a place called The Society [… that’s the Human Ecology Society, a known CIA front]. I was told to cooperate, answer any of their questions, then since the tests might hurt, I would be given shots, xrays, and jolts of electricity. I was also instructed not to look in anyone’s face too hard and to ignore names, as this was a very secret project … but to be brave and all those things would help me forget. Naturally as most children do, I did the opposite, and remembered as much as I could. A Dr. John Gittinger [Rapaport: these people in the testimony named names, they did not screw around …] tested me and Dr. Cameron gave me the shocks, and Dr. Green, the xrays. Then I was told by Sid Gottlieb I was right for the Big A … meaning Artichoke.”“By the time I left to go home, just like every time from then on, I would recall nothing of my tests or the different doctors. I would only remember whatever explanations Dr. Robert Heath of Tulane Medical School gave me for the odd bruises, needle marks, burns on my head and Þngers, and even the genital soreness. I had no reason to believe otherwise. Already they had begun to control my mind. The next year I was sent to a place in Maryland called Deep Creek Cabins to learn how to sexually please men. I was taught how to coerce them into talking about themselves. It was Richard Helms, Deputy Director of the CIA, Dr. Gottlieb, Capt. George White and Morse Allen who all planned on Þlming as many high government and agency ofÞcials, and heads of academic institutions and foundations as possible. So later, when the funding for radiation and mind control started to dwindle, then the project would continue at any cost [in other words, blackmail]. I was to become a regular little spy for them after that summer. Eventually trapping many unwitting men, including themselves, all with the use of a hidden camera. I was only 9 years old when this kind of sexual humiliation began. I overheard conversations about a part of the agency called ORD run by Dr. Green, Dr. Stephen Aldrich, Martin Orne and Morse Allen ….”Dr. John Gittinger was Sid Gottlieb’s protege … Gittinger tested everybody. He was like a fanatical tester, developing proÞles of humans, different types of humans, all kinds of questionnaire type tests. Sid Gottlieb was the head of MKULTRA projects for the CIA … a very high ranking bureaucrat, probably never treated a patient in his life. These people (testifying) were saying that these people were doing it … they were not supervising it alone, they were doing it. Dr. Green seems to be a name that is a cover name that many different people used. However there was a Dr. L. Wilson Green, Technical Director of US Army Chemical and Radiological Laboratories at the Army Chemical Centre … so we could have both things happening there. Richard Helms became director of the CIA … a real smooth operator. He was the person who destroyed many MKULTRA Þles before they could be revealed. Capt. George White made a statement to the effect of “nowhere else but in the CIA could a young, red-blood ed American rape, pillage and plunder without … accountability” He set up a brothel in San Francisco in the 60’s, paid off prostitutes to bring in johns to a room which he was Þlming, and these johns unwittingly drank LSD in their cocktails, and Þlming was supposedly to determine what the effects of LSD were on unwitting subjects. This is documented up and down. By the way, for those of you who want to get the background here, John Marks’ Search for the Manchurian Candidate, Walter Bowart’s Operation Mind Control now updated, are upstairs … and there is a very difÞcult book to Þnd called The Mind Manipulators by Alan Scheþin which goes into a wider arena and is a very valuable reference source. There are many other books, Journey into Madness … but the Marks’ book, Scheþin book, and the Bowart book all took off from the same revelation of the ten or so boxes of information that were Þnally released by the CIA in about 1977 … they were actually Þnancial records of MKULTRA. They didn’t think they were very incriminating, but they Þnally began to look at them and saw they were very incriminating. A mistake …Then we had Morse Allen who was the head of Project Bluebird, another mind control project. High up people here she is talking about … who planned on Þlming as many high up ofÞcials … She says “I overheard conversations about a part of the agency called ORD run by Dr. Green, Dr. Stephen Aldrich” who became Director of ORD researched remote control of brains by electrodes, he went to the college I went to, Amherst College … hope I run into him some time. Martin Orne, mentioned again … we are not stinting here on names, these people just named them … sitting here in a room in Washington, D.C. before the President’s Committee on Radiation saying that Richard Helms was involved in torture and brainwashing of children. Now, Valerie Wolf makes this comment about Claudia Mullen: “After 9 months of therapy, she came to therapy one day with MKULTRA written with other words on a piece of paper … the Þrst time … she had never mentioned any of this before. From that point on, she began to work on the mind control issues and began to improve. All of her memories have emerged spontaneously, without the use of memory enhancement techniques such as hypnosis or sodium amytal. I had told her nothing about government and CIA research projects. To the best of my knowledge, she has read nothing about mind control or CIA covert operations. Since she decided to listen carefully and remember as much as she could about conversations among the researchers, her memories are extraordinarily complete. I have sent written copies of memories to Dr. Alan Scheþin for validation [the author of The Mind Manipulators who is a professor of law at the University of Santa Clara]. He has conÞrmed that she has knowledge of events and people that are not published anywhere … that some of her memories contain new information and that some are already known and published. Some of her memories have been conÞrmed by family members. She has also shown me old scrapbooks where she wrote notes to remember what was happening to her, and hid the notes under the pictures in the scrapbooks.” Claudia Mullen states that she is still being monitored, that there is a doctor in New Orleans, who was her family doctor. She names him in her longer testimony … and she said to me, “don’t tell him you are going to do something before you do it, just do it.”Apparently as recently as a month or two ago, she feels that … it’s a strange situation … apparently she is not positive that this doctor was monitoring her, but now she is. She went to his ofÞce … she doesn’t remember what happened to her … there were marks on her when she left the ofÞce … and she feels he is still monitoring her. So there is an element of danger involved in this, for these people. Some of these statements in here are anonymous. Some therapists made statements anonymously because there was public censure by their peers for getting into this stuff. I am told that a therapist named Corey Hammond spoke at a recent convention on methods of deprogramming this kind of mind control that he has developed … Valerie Wolf says she is using these, and they are terriÞc, they work. He has been subject to a lot of censure by other psychologists, societies, whatever it is and that he doesn’t want to talk to people any more, just for making a verbal presentation at this conference.Chris Denicola, another client of Valerie Wolf. Tucson, Arizona. “I was taught how to pick locks, be secretive, use my photographic memory. Dr. Green taught me a technique to withhold information by repeating numbers to myself. He would show me information, then shock me [electroshock]. I would repeat the numbers in my head. I refused to disclose the information that he just gave me, and he found me to be very successful in that part of his mind control experiment. I was four years old. He moved on to wanting me to kill dolls that looked like real children. I stabbed a doll with a spear once, after being severely tortured. The next time I refused. Dr. Green used many torture techniques, but as a I got older, I resisted more and more. He often tied me down in a cage near his ofÞce. Between 1972 and 76, he and his assistants were sometimes careless and left the cage unlocked. At these times I snuck into his ofÞce and found Þles with reports and memos addressed to CIA and military personnel. Included in these Þles were program projects, sub-projects, subject and experiment names, with some code numbers for radiation and mind control experiments. I was caught twice and Dr. Green tortured me ruthlessly with electric shock, drugs, spinning me on a table, putting shots in my stomach and my back, dislocating my joints and hypnotic techniques to make me feel crazy and suicidal. Because of my rebellion and growing lack of cooperation, they gave up on me as a spy assassin. Consequently the last two years, 1974-76, Dr. Green had access to me. He used various mind control techniques to reverse the spy-assassin messages through self destruct and death messages if I ever remembered anything. His purpose? He wanted me dead and I have struggled to stay alive all of my adult life. I believe that it is truly by the grace of God that I am still alive.”That’s just a piece of her testimony. A statement from Alan Scheþin, lawyer, professor of law, Santa Clara: “Claudia’s therapist [Valerie Wolf] has been kind enough to send me, with her client’s informed consent, some of the pertinent records reþecting Claudia’s memories of her experiences as an unwitting subject in these experiments. I have been able to conÞrm that some of the information Claudia has provided is absolutely true and could not have been derived from any published source.” I spoke with Scheþin and he said to me, I thought he was playing it a little close to the vest with this, I understand he is writing a book on this, so I don’t know … he said, “there is one piece of information that I was able to conÞrm, and I don’t know how she could possibly have known this. It involves the connection between two government researchers that is not published anywhere” and he said “I just happened to know that they are connected and she mentioned that they knew each other.”Let me just comment on some of this here. All throughout this testimony you have other clients and patients saying similar things. Dr. Green, Dr. Green, Dr. Green, Dr. Green. Electroshock. Torture, sex abuse and all of that. About three weeks ago I met a woman who is a therapist. She works north of Los Angeles. If you met this woman and talked to her, you would say ‘she’s very on top of things, she is very smart, she seems like a real human being.’ So she looks at me and she says, “I was part of this when I was a kid, as a child.” She doesn’t want to talk about it yet, but she said, “… this business about creating perfect spies, I don’t think that’s it. I don’t think that’s why they were really doing it.” Part of the explanation about what they were supposedly trying to do was to create blank slates … that was their thinking. You can take a human being and erase their mind, then we can program it to be whatever we want it to be. Well adults just go psychotic, so let’s try children … they are more þexible and they have less in their mind to take out … how mechanistic can you get, and that would be the rationale supposedly. From that it has been assumed that the whole point of this was to create a perfect spy, with with nice neat categories of sub-personalities, and program and trigger words, manchurian candidate type stuff. You know, “we will now call up sub-personality 134. Are you there?” “Yes I am here.” “What have you learned on your recent trip to Vienna?” Start. Bing. And then sub-personality 134 says, “I boarded the train, and went to Vienna, and read the following documents that were given to me …” — like a computer? That this was the intention. But this woman said to me, “Yeah, but I think there is something beyond this. It is somewhere in the back of my mind, but I can’t get to it.” I didn’t question her about how she knows this, but she said “First of all this was a very wide-ranging project … there were echelons of the project, not just simply one level. There were children brought up from South America and Mexico. They were considered expendable. They were used with the crudest techniques of brainwashing and so forth. The idea was to learn from this techniques in a more reÞned way techniques that would be used on another echelon of children. The best and brightest in America.” I said, “Do you mean children from well-to-do families?” She said, “Not necessarily. The smartest.”They could be thinking that what they want to do is program these kids who would later, supposedly, emerge in prominent positions in society, so that they would then have long term control of society by controlling people in power positions. She said (she didn’t say “yes”) but she said, “Well, yeah, that makes sense. The Nazis got a hold of the intelligentsia. They turned the intelligentsia — they were able to either silence or bring the intelligentsia into their fold — so it was a major project. She said to me, “They brought a lot of doctors over here after the War and not just the rocket scientists … they brought a lot of doctors over here.” And all throughout this testimony you will read, sprinkled here, “a doctor with a German accent … was it Green … was it Greenburg … a German Jew? … did it look like he was a Jew? … he had blonde hair …” That kind of stuff.I would say this is a Nazi project, but a lot of the Nazis are American-born. It shouldn’t be excused or explained away on that basis because as we know, if we look at Nazi psychiatry for example, they learned a lot from the Americans, especially about eugenics. This is not something where we should say, “ … well, the Nazis took over …” This is home-grown stuff. This is Americana at its worst, at its lowest form. This is also the sub-sub-basement that you walk into when you are a materialist, when that is your philosophy. And I don’t mean you are a materialist in the sense that you want money, possessions … I mean, philosophically. The materialist position is that we are meat, and tissue, and cells, and electrical impulses, and that’s it. When that system collapses, we are gone, never to return. My own feeling is that when you espouse and embrace that philosophy, the ultimate, ultimate sub-basement that you end up in is that sub-basement … that’s where you end up. Finally, that’s where it all comes out.I must say, even though I admire many of the researchers on psychedelics, and feel that they are basically liberating types of people, I think some of them make a mistake when they start talking about, “ … well, it’s all chemicals anyway … what difference does it make? … we are only dealing with chemical reactions anyway, so what’s this nonsense about consciousness separate from chemicals?” They are using that of course to say, “why is the government trying to outlaw the use of psychedelics, if in fact all consciousness is chemical anyway, they are just being selective in their choices of chemical … they are saying ‘alcohol - yes, lsd - no’.” But I think these people have something to think about in this one area. I am not trying to put them down at all, in fact I admire them. But I think when they start talking about “well, consciousness is just chemicals anyway…” I am afraid I have to disagree. I think it is a lot more than chemicals. You can certainly make people do very bizar re things with chemicals, and you can make them suffer a great deal because we are in these bodies … it’s a lot more than that. That’s where I think you wind up. You wind up with this crazy idea about programming people … that’s where I think you wind up with this stuff.On the plus side, if we know this, if we understand what is happening here, and therapists can be brought into this whole dialogue, then we are talking about bridging something that is very un-middle-class into the middle-class and into people who normally don’t consider these kinds of things because we are talking therapists here, private practice therapists whose patients come into their ofÞce and say “I was part of CIA mind control.” I am not saying that the middle class is not some fabulous entity that we have to somehow court, but I am saying that this is an issue which can get some people involved who normally do not get involved and if they are so willing, they can create some havoc with the government and that’s my next point here.One of the reasons that I am going into this, and getting involved in it, is because I want people to begin to see the government for what it actually is and I think this is a way of doing that. Unequivocally coming to it. People say, “the government, yeah … if we just get more of the right people in … a little more funding for research … more this … more that … everything is going to work out and we will get the nice guys, elect Bill and don’t elect George, and elect Jim and don’t elect Phil …” You know … it’s all this kind of whipsawing stuff I see every time an election comes around. “We gotta vote for Bill because if we don’t we’ll get George …” and this and that … boppada bop …. It’s like a vice that people are in, and everybody knows it.I have a statement here from Colin Ross. A very interesting man. Never heard of him before. He’s a psychiatrist from Richardson, Texas. He has been researching the CIA for 20 years. Every time an MKULTRA type researcher dies, he sends away FOIA requests, because he Þgures, well the guy is dead, they will be more likely to release the documents now, and he just … he’s very cute with this, see? He accumulates a little of this, a little of that. MKULTRA had about 139 to 150 sub-projects … nobody knows what they all were, or even if that is the subtotal. It’s the basic mind control project of the CIA after WWII. He has Þles on as many of these as he can possibly get. “I have in my possession about 80 of the 149 sub-project Þles which I obtained through FOIA, Þling requests with the CIA on each deceased investigator of interest.” (I like that.) He says, “Neurosurgeons at Tulane, Yale and Harvard did extensive research on brain electrode implants with intelligence funding and combined bra in implants with large numbers of drugs including hallucinogens.” So while they were telling Tim Leary and Richard Alpert to get out of Harvard … because a few people were taking acid and enjoying it … there were other people there who were inserting electrodes in people’s brains and then giving them acid. “MKULTRA alone included four sub-projects on children, one was conducted at the International Children’s Summer Camp in Maine by an unwitting investigator. The MKULTRA sub-project Þle in my possession for this project states that “the CIA’s interest in this research was in establishing contact with foreign nationals of potential future operational use by the CIA. The children who served as subjects in the project were as young as eleven years old.”“Multiple personality disorder patients in treatment throughout the United States and Canada are describing involvement in mind control research that is much more sophisticated than MKULTRA. Deliberate sexual abuse of children to make them more dissociative … “ and then he ends up simply by saying, “I would be pleased to testify at length at any hearings on CIA and military mind control.” Colin Ross, M.D. Psychiatrist Richardson TexasHere is a statement from a therapist submitted anonymously. “One client told me that they were made to believe they had been abducted by UFO’s so that if memories were retrieved, they would be discredited by the community.” I found that kind of interesting. Hmmm. Other people mentioned satanic costumes … CIA people putting on satanic costumes while they were doing their crazy stuff here …Here’s John Boyd, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist, practiced clinical psychology for 25 years, Ohio State, University of Virginia. “I have treated three patients whose memories of childhood abuse include detailed recall of sophisticated mind control technology being inþicted upon them by “experts” in collusion with the patients’ mentally disturbed parents. The independent reports of these individuals contain similar information of an esoteric and intricate nature concerning mind control technology which in my opinion could be gained only through personal experience.” The press says nothing. The press says zero about this.Here’s a woman operating under the pseudonym I believe of Chandra Walker-Michaels. “I learned how to handle weapons, particularly how an ice-pick left a neat hole, a hole that allowed so little blood to escape that the victim could remain in public view for hours before they would be discovered not to be napping.” “I was taken on planes to Germany and Egypt to assist Joe with arson … to Israel, along with messages … to Mexico for terrorist activities. I remember a small laboratory in a partially exposed basement of a large building I visited many times starting at age four south of Washington, D.C. At the age of fourteen I was drugged and woke up on a stretcher, and I heard men outside my door discussing how they had gotten me past the guards at Langley that night. At the age of Þfteen Joe introduced me to an elderly man who he referred to as “the Senator”. At the Mayþower Hotel in Washington, D.C. the portly gentleman was brought to the room adjoining ours. Our closet space was Þlled with photographic equipment viewing the Senator’s scene … I refused to participate. I was severely punished.”Just a word about the media, and then we will take a break. One of the best payoffs of being a reporter for Þfteen years is that I have come to see this machine called “the media” and how it operates in a way that I never thought was possible because I have talked to a lot of reporters, and they become the eyes, the mouth and the ears for everybody else. Since I am now researching the Oklahoma City bombing, and I have done a lot of research on AIDS, and now this and other topics, there is a pattern that always seems to emerge. The pattern is that there is a cover story that emerges very quickly after something is either revealed or happens. Very quickly a cover story comes to the fore and then anything that does not Þt the cover story is discarded. In the case of Oklahoma City, it happens to be basically that McVeigh and a few of his friends are rednecks … the rednecks are connected to other rednecks who belong to militias and the militias blew up the building and that’s it … we don’t w ant to know anything else … they are all kind of crazy and stupid … that’s the end of the story … they rented a Ryder truck knowing it could be traced … they bought 5000 lbs. of ammonium nitrate knowing it could be traced …(hey business is suddenly picking up … did you see that guy who suddenly came in and bought 5000 lbs. of ammonium nitrate??? Wow. I thought business was kind of slow and then all of a sudden they came in like 15 or 20 cars and they like, loaded it up in the backs of the station wagons and they kept coming back for more and they took it away … I guess April is a really good planting month you know?? They have a lot of crops in mind …) That’s the cover, right? They were that stupid, and that’s all we have to know. And McVeigh, three hours after the explosion, happens to be driving in a car with no licence, and a cop stops him and says “I will have to cite you for driving without a licence and you will have to appear …” McVeigh says “No problem”, t hen the cop looks at him and he is writing out the citation, he’s going to give it to him, and let him drive away. No problem, Driving without a licence. So what? Then the cop says, “Sir, do you have something under your windbreaker there?” And McVeigh says, “I have a weapon under my windbreaker.” Pulls down the zipper, there’s a 9mm Glock, and a Þve inch knife hanging off his belt. He has just killed 100 people … he’s on a lonely road some place … a cop stops him … he’s going to let him go … he then shows the cop his weapon … the cop then puts his service revolver to his head, disarms him, takes him to jail, puts him on ice for a few days until the Feds … they work fast these guys … three days and they know who did it, they know what happened, they come to the jail where he is, and they take him … Right? By the way, I was told that initial reports placed McVeigh at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma. People who anonymously testiÞed in here, and it has been mentioned by other people, that some of the mind control that was done on them was done at Tinker Air Force Base. Tinkerbell, right?So this is the scenario that is painted by the press, see? Talk about mind control here … now the reporters that I talked to … how they slip and slide with this … once the cover story is established … how they manage to keep from discovering anything, or thinking about anything … or just considering the insanity of the cover story itself, is really something to behold. And I have been talking to a bunch of reporters down in Oklahoma City now … I just listen and we talk and it is all very chatty and everything … and for example one guy who was with the only daily in Oklahoma (The Daily Oklahoman) … all he could talk about was the federal boys … the federal boys combing through the wreckage of the building … the federal boys were there and they did this and they told me and they said this … and it was kind of like, when a sportswriter covers the Yankees … the Slugger told me this, and he told me he threw the curve ball and he holds it this way … had a beer with Mickey … you know, that kind of stuff … “the federal boys told me” that they couldn’t Þnd any other kind of bomb in the building at all … that’s it … what else is there to know … the federal boys day after day were going through the wreckage and they told him they couldn’t Þnd anything … this guy would have talked for three hours like this if I had let him … and that’s how he keeps himself from Þguring out what’s going on and each reporter has his own little scene.In the case of this one here, of course, now Valerie Wolf and one of her clients, they say “look we are not sure we really want to get this exposed all the way out because we know that the False Memory Syndrome Foundation right now has a stranglehold on the press.” That’s the cover story. Nobody cares that the FMSF board is composed of these guys with CIA, mind control connections … That’s the cover story that’s laid down, and so everything else is irrelevant. That’s what we have to bust — is that cover story — with enough people coming forward and saying, “it’s not true”.

My life with the Catholic Church

Posted by SheriGrutz on May 27, 2009 at 1:00am

I was born in Saint Luke's hospital in Davenport, Iowa. When I was Baptized the priest told my parents I was perfect baby. I grew up Catholic and went to Catholic grade school, though I nearly got kicked out for being a class clown and fighting with my teachers. The next year I was bullied to leave by my female peers who said in the chapel that they hated me so much they would never stop what they were doing to me. I took it all very hard. I had my first emotional breakdown, age 13.I grew very religious in High School and read from the Bible during Mass and I was in the choir and I led youth religious weekend retreats. I became very good friends again with the peers from grade school who said they would never befriend me again. Then I went to college, and slowly grew wild, and away from the church, did sinful things, then came back to the church and taught CCD to first graders.I had my twins Baptized by my church here in my town, but we never attended Mass until I moved back home for good, and then I became somewhat religious again, teaching CCD to 6th graders and praying at night with the kids, until the deacon at Mass said there are too many law suits in the world, at a time when I was desperately trying to find a lawyer to end my targeting.Along about this time, 2 or 3 priests from my area of about 5 miles radius, were accused to molesting children in the 70's and 80's. One of these priests used to come our family get togethers, he was very close to my one aunt. I attended church growing up at these places too, but was never subjected to this kind of abuse. It makes me wonder, if I'm set up as a sex slave, and the priests here are set up as sex slaves as well, and whether any of us had any control over it, it makes me wonder if I am to blame for all of this.I left the church, and started to go to another Catholic church about 10 miles away, and the kids went to CCD there. I felt the priest was avoiding me and I wanted to ask him about my targeting, what he knew, so I felt like a burden to him, so I left there. We started going to Evangelical Free, and then I feared other people there were watching me, including the pastor, so, after a long time of doing their AWANAS program for kids, and after a few nights of experiencing electronic torture inside the church, we left.I have sent emails to the Diocese of Davenport asking for anything they may know about my targeting, and I never get a single reply, its as if they are waiting for the gates to open up when we can all start talking about this. I expect to hear from them like waiting for Jesus. The difficulty now with being religious is that God and Jesus and all the saints know our thoughts, they are the ultimate mind readers,, but with the medication it doesn't bother me too much. I've recently started going back to a Catholic church in Clinton< Iowa about 20 miles away, seeking first of all forgiveness and guidance. My children still need certain sacraments if we are to stay and not leave this time.

中国精神侵害状况极为严重北京某重点国防部门被完全控制，一个数万人的大型国防部门，全体职工被完全控制着说所有的话、做所有的事，工作已经牛头不对马嘴！每一个人说话做事都已不是自己的真实意愿，而是遵循于控制者的意愿！居然没有一个人能讲出来这一点中国精神侵害状况已经极为严重，受害人群已遍及各省市地区北京发廊打工者mary：我从我的家乡来到北京我舅舅那里打工，没有想到非常的倒霉，撞上了这帮用脑波控制犯罪的流氓恶霸。我甚至于开始骂人，有好几次，我指着那个小姐妹的鼻子，简直成了一只母老虎似的，“你他妈的…………！”。别人还以为我是在故意找那个小姐妹的茬什么的，我有苦说不出 —— 我其实对她印象很好，我根本不想骂她！再到后来我的麻烦越来越大。我在宿舍里面开始咆哮，就跟狼嚎似的撕心裂肺的嚎叫，叫声凄烈刺耳，我的脑子的中枢区域就像有橡皮筋扯着扯着，当这个信息变得很强时，我就甚至于会不能自控的嚎叫起来。然后我的腿、胳膊都不能自控的动弹，严重时成了拳打脚踢……这给我制造了很大的困扰。海南加来镇大规模受侵害人群：在中国海南省临高县加来镇，一台高值无线电机器已经被当地民众暴露。海南省籍的几个走了神的“讲人道”恐怖分子用这种机器整害人用了五年以上。“夜长梦多”，因为坚强而悲惨的受害者活现在加来镇，当地群众，干部，警察中，有着全世界最大的知情群体，有着被害得极难堪的家庭，有着苦难世界之最的受害者。恐怖武器与反人类侵害，对加来墟人民造成巨大的心灵冲击，对于七十岁之上的老人，它超过了六十多年前的日本军事侵略者在当地犯下暴行所带来与留下的刻骨铭心之记忆。广东东莞某工厂受害员工：我2005年3月9日进东莞凤岗雁田台和电子集团环宇电子厂上班，在这里工作2 个多月却被该厂的人以一些莫须有的理由用一种任何人都不能拒绝的测慌仪侵害长达7，8个月，在此期间我经历生生死死，差点成了神经病，可我总算挺过了最困难的时候，没逼疯，没逼死，直到我现在可以正常工作，上网。他们用的是一种新型测慌仪（如脑电波测慌仪和以色列测慌仪都可以（这种新型测慌仪和种种监控追踪仪器的非引用，造成对人的不法侵害。仅两岁的受害者：　我女儿２岁时就遭他们迫害，2001年我女儿2岁已经会讲话，他们怕直接用语言骚扰我女儿听见后会讲给我听，所以用摇铃发出铛铛的声音，我女儿说听到铃声，可我听了几次都没有，所以断定我女儿2岁起被他们迫害。他们除了要害死我一家或一辈子迫害外，他们说从现在起一直监视我9岁的女儿他们除了要害死我一家或一辈子迫害外，他们说从现在起一直监视我9岁的女儿。上海留日受害者胡XX：我目前不但思维,行为,言语等随时受到所谓”高科技”的控制外,而且自己的身心与健康也同时受到了残暴地摧残。更有甚者,”高科技”还通过遥控我的所有行为来直接伤害那些与我接触过的任何人（这接触过的任何人中的绝大多数都知晓我所处的被害状态却既敢怒不敢言，自己又深受其害而毫不知情）。据推算,我的这种被控状态产生于日本留学期间,大约始于1992年（或是1991年）,至今已有12,3年了。这些年来,我的身心健康一直处于极大的被压迫状态。澳洲女留学生soleilmavis：秋天的景色虽然很美，但是对我来说，每天被他们酷刑折磨，只剩下痛苦和越来越绝望。从2001年12月他们开始虐待我开始，随着他们虐待我给我带来的痛苦越来越多，老天爷也痛苦越来越多，天灾越来越频繁，天灾损失越来越大。我一直在想孟江女哭长城的故事。或许当全世界的人还没有多少人了解这些使用电磁波武器，声波武器及心灵控制技术所受的非人折磨及他们的法西斯集中营，这些受害者的哭泣也只有老天爷听到，也只有老天爷懂得，也只有老天爷能够感受到他们的痛苦，也只有老天爷会跟我们一起受苦。他们这五年来不允许我读书，不允许做任何我想做的事情，晚上不允许我睡觉，或者有时他们就让我一直睡着，不让我醒来。他们虐待我们，给我们身体带来疼痛和疾病。他们严重破坏了我们的生活，但是他们却没有受到法律制裁，我们甚至找不到可以帮助我们打官司的人。北京某国家重点国防部门受侵害状况非常严重全体职工处于完全控制之下我所在的单位是国家一个重点国防单位，现在被侵害的状况非常的严重，很有可能是被脑波技术重点下手的部门之一，我发现绝大多数都受到了脑波侵害，而且很有可能是处于完全控制下的侵害。但是，没有人敢讲出来自己受到了侵害的事实，这一点很不得了！这就是整个脑波控制部署的高明所在！每一个人都会害怕别人说自己是得了精神病，虽然每一个人都看出来周围的人也被控制了，但是，还是会不敢告诉那个人自己也被控制。每一个人都是如此，就实现了大规模的控制而没有人能讲出来！为什么这么多人被控制竟然一个能讲出来的都会没有？这与精神侵害的技术性内容有关，这个技术已经达到的水平使出了这样的事！绝大多数人会觉得难以想象，精神侵害技术能达到如此高超的水平，但是，事实的确如此！通过向人脑的中枢区域以强能级发放电磁波，人就将会把这些信息信以为真，根本摆脱不了！比如对我们单位就是这样实现的，向我们的脑的中枢以强能级发放了这样的脑波“别人会说这些精神侵害的事情是假的，会说被侵害者是精神病”，由于这一技术能使人们摆脱不出来这样的强能级发放，于是，就使一个人陷入过分的顾虑，就没有人能讲出来了。我们单位就是一个实例，每个人都看出来别人也被脑波控制侵害，明明是完全可以互相交流脑波控制了，但是还是会顾虑——“那个人会不会说我是精神病”！这就是那些犯罪分子以强能级调控发放后所能达到的效果。就我个人体会，是完全挣脱不出来的。（因为我周围几个朋友还是相信脑波控制的，所以我才能有挣脱出来的一点可能）我们单位跟我挨着坐的一个女孩，我看出来被控制得非常严重，于是想去帮助她。下班的时候，她走在前面，我在后面厚着脸皮使劲的撵，吃饭的时候故意到她的宿舍去往那一坐，想跟她逐渐的谈开这些。可是，后来那帮犯罪分子是怎么用的脑波技术你们知道吗？她被控制后，当着很多同事的面，很刺的说，“你不要跟我说话了，我不喜欢你！”后来，我又试着看能不能接近，她继续说，“我不想和你打任何的交道！”虽然我知道她是被控制下才讲出那样的话，但是，周围人会以为是她的确不想和我交往，而我也无法直接了当的告诉所有人说，她是被控制讲了那样的话的，一个是她看上去神情自若，完全不像是被控制后讲出的话，一个是由于脑波控制这样一个事物还没有被单位承认，会被人菲议这是精神病！在脑波控制没有被公认的环境下，如果什么人执意要说脑波控制这回事，那个犯罪团伙甚至于能够控制周围所有的人集体诽谤，“一个人对人讲脑波控制这些事物是精神病”，然后进一步控制周围所有人就能把此人送进精神病院！虽然那些人是处于他人控制下将一个正常的人送进精神病院的，但是每个人都会讲不出来自己是被控制后做的这件事情！我没有任何途径可以和她接近得了。而那些犯罪分子为了使我再也不敢对她讲脑波控制这回事情，甚至于有一次，控制着她，拽着另一个同事，要挟我说，“你是不是有了精神病，为什么老想对我讲脑波控制这些稀奇古怪的事情？”那些犯罪分子采用这种方式堵住我们这些听说过脑波控制的人的嘴 —— “如果你再讲脑波控制这些事，我们就会控制你周围别的人诽谤你是有了精神病”。于是我就再也不敢对她提脑波控制这回事了。而尤其是，她也是被控制的，她自己并不想说这些（实现了对我的要挟），而居然出现了这样的状况：一方面我和她明明都是受害者，却互相怎么都捅不破这一点，而甚至于成为了诽谤彼此的傀儡人（所谓傀儡人就是以脑波技术完全控制后的受害者）！脑波犯罪分子用这种方式利用傀儡人来充当其犯罪的帮凶！而如果脑波技术被社会公认就不会成为这样的状况，这就是脑波技术犯罪分子竭力否认脑波技术的存在，竭力诽谤许多脑波受害者不是被侵害而是精神病的原因！【因为受害者会互相捅不破彼此是被控制的——这一点应该引起我们所有人的注意】而她大概被控制了几个月以后，我有一次无意中听说，她一个人在外面住，而没有一个人知道究竟住在哪儿。于是我就想了解一下这件事，就去问她现在住在哪儿。结果我发现她被控制得非常严重，一点点都讲不出来了，每当我问话时，她的语言表达就会被完全控制住。后来我觉得很不对劲，就去问别的同事，她们没有一个人说得上来，她们说“谁都问不出来”。她一个人在外面住了半年多，每天朝夕相处得很要好的姐妹都没能问出来过，说觉得是因为“她不想让别人知道自己的私事”。而原本性格那么开朗的一个人，现在突然变得有点孤僻，脾气变得很大！那肯定是被控制后根本讲不出来自己任何的私事，而根本不是真的不想讲。但是，周围别的人居然完全没有察觉，不认为她现在正非常需要帮助！还有我们单位的一件事简直让人哭笑不得。我办工会的展板，准备把工会小组的组织机构写一下，于是我去问单位的助理员，结果我们单位的助理员说，“工会没有组织机构！”，说我们单位并没有成立工会的组织机构。我大吃一惊，说，“怎么可能？”那个助理员又继续说，“工会是没有组织机构！”（我们工会主席是一个年纪比较大的男同志——但是助理员居然理直气壮的说工会并没有组织机构）。我后来又试着问了好几遍，都是同样的回答，“工会没有组织机构”，而且神情自若。后来，我没有了一点办法，就想绕着问看会不会好一些，我说，“我工会的展板上必须得写一下工会的组织机构”。结果当时助理员是这么说的——“你瞎编一个不就完了”！让我自己瞎编，想写谁就可以写谁！而且全过程我们单位的助理员神情自若，回答得很自然。【那一次，那个挨着我坐的女孩拽着我们同事去要挟我的时候也是的，她已经被控制得很严重，经常会表现得有点孤僻，但当时居然又恢复了开朗，变得神情自若起来】现在我终于和脑波控制受害者的维权机构联系上了，那些施害者知道了以后，马上又调整了应对。当我去跟同事打交道时，看上去他们的症状居然消失了，我以为是不再侵害他们了——后来，我路过他们的办公室往里面不经意的一瞥，受侵害的症状仍然和过去一样严重！是不想让我知道！我和他们打交道时就调整为正常，想让我以为他们的状况不严重！附：薇薇鼠的受害简况我被控制以后，头痛不已，晚上睡眠非常不好，而这影响了我的工作。你们可以看一下上面的例证（澳洲女留学生soleilmavis），有相当多的受害者都是这样的。侵害者为了给我们生活的方方面面制造麻烦，于是让我们晚上睡不了，白天就会无法正常上班。我晚上头经常会很痛，很晚才能休息一小会儿，因为头痛，睡觉睡得很难受，早上也根本起不来。幸好领导非常照顾我，非常谢谢他们！我估计我们单位里面有很多同事都是这样的，他们因为不知道脑波控制这一事物终于已经被社会所承认了，所以不敢对同事讲，不敢对领导讲，甚至于连自己的家人都不敢讲，只有经常缺勤，而有的甚至于会因此丢掉工作。而你们看到上文中受害者mary的状况了吗（“……就跟狼嚎似的撕心裂肺的嚎叫，叫声凄烈刺耳，我的脑子的中枢区域就像有橡皮筋扯着扯着，当这个信息变得很强时，我就甚至于会不能自控的嚎叫起来。然后我的腿、胳膊都不能自控的动弹，严重时成了拳打脚踢……”）？是这样的，这个技术是这样的，侵害者为了污蔑别人是精神病，就会这样来运用。那些犯罪分子为了试图污蔑我，于是就让我在宿舍乱动 —— 头里面简直就像要炸开一样，难以形容！这个在脑波控制技术中称为骨传导。我估计还有很多别的受害者也会出现这样的状况，而且侵害者会竭力诽谤说这是脑波技术实现不了的，好污蔑像这样的状况是得了精神疾病！这个在脑波控制技术中是实现得了的。我现在因为受到脑波控制技术的侵害，工作的确存在着困难，头经常很痛，谢谢领导能够体谅我们这些受害人群 —— 侵害我们的那些犯罪分子为了妨碍我们能够正常的生活，根据我们的作息制度来干扰我们，白天规定上班，就会让白天睡觉，即使规定下午上班，他们也会让下午睡觉。幸好领导非常的好，很照顾我们这样的！使我们一方面能够承担一定的工作，一方面健康不会受到太大的损伤。来源：http://www.jskz.net/oblog4/u/vivivvvo/archives/2007/13.html#
