from the opening panel of the

CULT RITUAL ABUSE TRAUMA BASED MIND CONTROL AND DISSOCIATION

forum from the March 23-26, 1995 conference of the Society for the Investigation, Treatment and Prevention of Ritual and Cult Abuse.

transcribed by Rita Hill

WB: Thank you Randy. Thank you Pam. I haven’t seen Alan Scheflin in 25 years. When we went over all of those CIA documents in what was it 1977?

AS: ‘76,’77

WB: and I was looking at people registering, and I was thinking: “Is that Alan?” You know how you meet somebody at the airport and you haven’t seen them in a year? As soon as I saw him I recognized him again. And I see my old friend Ken Olsen back there who I knew in Phoenix, AZ when we worked on the Boles suicide case, which had a grim outcome, and wasn’t a story of mind control, but there were a lot of psychological twists and turns in that.

I am a journalist, and in 1978 I published a book that was published in five languages called “Operation Mind Control”. I was paid full royalties for millions of copies, it was a best seller. I went on a national tour in the United States. I did 98 radio and television interviews in 33 cities in 30 days. When I went through O’Hare airport in Chicago, I was going out for two weeks, I saw racks and racks full of the book, and I came back two weeks later and there were none. Nobody seems to have that book. The book is now fetching $250 in used book stores, if you can find it in mind condition. If it’s in tattered, torn, dogeared condition, that little three dollar paperback is worth $20 today.

I have since updated it, and put out a thing that’s two volumes, actually twice the size and revised all of my errors, because I didn’t know what multiple personality was in those days. I just reported what had happened. Today doctors and psychiatrists and therapists are using the book and saying “that’s a multiple personality”. Candy Jones and all of the others that I mentioned since then. By that time, in 1978, when the book came out, I had interviewed 300 survivors. Now I’ve interviewed thousands, and I’ve lost count.

I’ve seen several patterns emerge. One of them is the Satanic or cult ritual abuse pattern, and the other is the alien abduction experience. I’m talking later in the week on that subject and I’m using some very interesting charts and graphs that were developed by a psychologist who wishes to remain anonymous. She and I have added mind control to the comparison of descriptions and reports from people that report alien abduction experience, ritual abuse and government mind control side of things. It’s very interesting for the similarities. There are so many similarities it looks like one in the same thing, but it’s worth describing the differences, and that’s what will be coming up.

I founded the Freedom of Thought Foundation because I’m trying to network people who I’ve known now almost 30 years and who are duplicating their efforts alot. Everybody’s got their own group that’s going in a different direction and there hasn’t been much communication nationally or internationally. For instance, in Germany the prevalent belief system in the psychiatric wards and hospitals is that there’s no such thing as MPD, and probably that’s the way they would like to keep it. Probably for years here that’s what gave the intelligence community the advantage, because these people, I think, were probably diagnosed primarily, probably, as schizophrenic or something in those days. Or some kind of erratic diagnosis -- which is happening today. You shift or change the diagnostic manual you will have 10 or 12 different diagnosis’ for the same thing. I’m sure you’ve seen that. So I formed the Freedom of Thought Foundation for the purpose of networking, for the purpose of communicating this information. We publish a monthly newsletter.

To me the thing I kept running up against, and maybe Alan did to, is the National Security Act of 1947. It says in the interest of National Security all of your civil rights can be suspended. Criminals can be let loose because they work for the Department of Defense, and alot of these people that have perpetrated these crimes we’ve seen in the abuse -- sadistic abuse, that we are describing here at this conference, and the thing that we call mind control -- have done that under the charter of the National Security Act of 1947. The act probably covers more criminal behavior than it does secrets at this time. There is no more Cold War, so I think that the time has come for us to call for the abolition or repeal of the National Security Act. And for us as citizens, to take back our Bill of Rights and our Constitution.

(audience applauds)

WB: Thank you. And also to hold a Cold War Crimes Trial, and to prosecute these tyrants that have done this.

(applause)

WB: Thank you. I feel the same way you do.

March 15 last, Valerie Wolfe testified before the President’s commission on radiation, and through I think Randy and Mark, I was fortunate enough to talk to her before, almost during, and after the testimony. She took two survivors with her. One was -- an amazing ability you very often find with reintegrated multiple personalities or multiple personalities that aren’t reintegrated for that matter: incredible identic memory. And she had dates and codes and times and names of doctors. And they named six doctors. Among them Martin Tjorn of the University of Pennsylvania. Somebody I’ve been trying to interview for 30 years, and he has always run. I almost got him on the golf course one time, but he’s always run from me. Also Dr. Sidney Gottleib, the CIA doctor. And Col. L. Wilson Green, of the US Army Defense Intelligence chemical warfare division and the Defense Intelligence Agency. These men and three others who I didn’t recognize their names, were among the doctors and professionals that were named in this

I told a local doctor, a psychiatrist here one time, talking on the phone one time: “You psychiatrists made this mess, and it’s going to be up to you to clean it up.” He agreed with me, and I said “I’ll give them a year or two and hold them to it. And if he doesn’t get busy and do something about it, I’m going to add his name to the list. Because if you aren’t part of the solution, you’re part of the problem, as far as I’m concerned.

You all know about the experimentation that was done on everyone. We are a nation of guinea pigs, since 1940. The earliest mind control situation that I’ve come across, in the modern context, is the situation of a naval officer, who apparently was working either behind enemy lines -- he was on one of the islands that were in Japanese territory. So he got captured by the Japanese and was tortured. But before that, it seems he did some torturing himself -- alot of the atrocities of war. So he had post traumatic stress disorder, and the Naval Intelligence people used their techniques, that were developed in MKULTRA, in those days to suppress his memories. He did not remember a thing. He had a wife, and children. He raised them. Almost 50 years went by, everything was honky dory. He was blissfully oblivious, total amnesia. But then he started having cardiovascular accidents, or strokes, and back came all of these memories. He died in terror screaming the nightmares he should have screamed back 50 years before. Now that’s a gruesome story, and I hate to see a human being suffer, but there is hope in that story, because it means that memory cannot be suppressed. That all of the memories are going to come back. That there is some kind of emotion emulsion -- like a film emulsion on the human sole. And be that as it is.

So the False Memory I call it “Spindrome” Foundation, and I hope you’ll start using that term because it is a spindrome and it is not a syndrome. Look up the word syndrome and I think that what they’re talking about is a spindrome. Especially since it was Martin Tjorn who founded the organization and came up with the board of directors. Very important. This is a Central Intelligence Agency action. It is an action aimed at the psychological, psychiatric and mental health communities. To discredit you. To keep you in fear and terror, and you’re an easy group to terrorize, let me tell you. You’ve got licenses that the governments have issued, most of you. The therapists, social workers and others are freer, I think -- and I think there’s where the cutting edge: you're going to find it.

My friend who wishes to remain anonymous, a brilliant psychologist, reminded me to not feel insecure about talking to you experienced hands in the field of mental healing, because, she said: “These people need your input.” Because every advance that has ever occurred in psychology has come about from somebody outside the community, from a nonprofessional.

A thing that I’d like to talk about, and I know Mark Phillips knows all about this and Randy knows all about classical conditioning. And Mark calls it one thing, Randy calls it another, and I call it neurolinguistics programming, because I learned it from the President’s therapist Anthony Robbins. It was used in military and CIA training and is absolutely the Rosetta Stone for unlocking the human unconscious or subconscious or whatever you want to call it -- the part where you’re not conscious. And 90% of us are not conscious most of the time. So there’s a system where you can wake up and take charge and you can, though it sounds like a New Age cliche, you can create your own reality. You must create your own reality, and there’s nobody going to do it but you. And we all must do it together. If you as therapists are finding that your phones are ringing all the time and you’ve got patients all over you and you’ve got no time, the meaning of communication is the response you get. And I think maybe instead of teaching these people how to fish, you are feeding them fish and now you’ve got to start teaching them to fish for themselves. Neurolinguistics programming is a very rapid and immediate, effective technique that you can adapt. Anthony Robbins doesn’t call it neurolinguistics programming anymore.

A guy named Richard Vandelier who has associates with the CIA, worked with a guy named John Grinder who was more of a family counselor. Most of you know this, but Vandelier bragged to some of his students one time “I bet I could commit murder and use this to get myself off.” Several years later he was involved in a murder trial and was declared innocent by a jury of his peers I’m told. It’s very interesting, and it’s in the book “Operation Mind Control”, but the question comes up that since he boasted about it in the beginning: “Did he get away with what exactly what he did?” Every attorney needs to know neurolinguistics programming, and probably alot of them do. Robbins uses the guy from Wyoming with the cowboy hat. What’s his name?

audience: Gerry Spence

WB: Gerry Spence is an example, and modeled Gerry Spence. Modeling is a -- I’m sure alot of you know modeling, some of you know NLP as well. Call it what you will, it’s Ericksonian technique. I first learned some of it by my encounters with Milton Erickson, when I was writing “Operation Mind Control”. Dr. Erickson was found in the files, and the way it appeared he had used hypnosis to get a Japanese colonel to confess all of the secrets of state. He said “No, I didn’t do that.” He said “Marget Mead said the code of Ushido said that if you touched these guys on the top of the head they have to commit suicide. So I talked to this guy, there was a Marine with a rifle on him, couldn’t get anywhere. He was locked in a room, he could see the rifleman aiming at him through the windows. If he had done anything he’d have been a dead man. And I said to the guy (gestures tap on head) ‘OK, you’re dead, now tell me the secrets.’, and the guy spilled the beans.”

So that is what I learned from Erickson, that the context, the manipulation of the context is what we are talking about with all of these things. These are state dependent things. These are dependent upon a state that is evoked, and then anchored. And by collapsing the anchors, you can loosen the state, jar it loose, and deprogram people.

We can go through the entire history. In ‘43 there was LSD discovered by Hoffman. In ‘47 the Army conducted all kinds of hypnosis experiments. In ‘50 Richard Helms accompanied two doctors to the US embassy annex in Japan where four Japanese were interrogated under these new, fledgling MKULTRA techniques. That same year, 1950, the director of research addiction at the research center at Lexington, KY kept seven men on LSD for 77 straight days and then addicts were paid off in heroin if they took part in the drug experiments. In ‘51 McGill University’s Donald Hebb... and so on, and so on. and so on. And it hasn’t stopped yet. “ In October 1994, the US became a state party to the Convention On Torture and Other Cruel and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. The Senate had ratified the treaty four years before it was signed, and I think the delay was because they wanted to finish up on some of you. Finish up their tortures.

Now it’s illegal by international treaty, whether or not we can enforce that remains to be seen. In order to enforce that we need to abolish -- repeal, like like our Mom and Dad had to repeal the Volstead Act, that said we can drink a beer legally -- We have to repeal the National Security Act.

Thank you.
