ARE THESE MURDERS MIND CONTROL OR INSANITY? I found this on the RMNews Updates Webpage. Here are a few excerpts. Some of these excerpts come from the articles that are inserted below. Others come from this Forum Post by Bill Fuller: http://www.rumormillnews.net/cgi-bin/config.pl?read=7777 This post was also taken from the RMNews Updates page, and was also sent by M.F. Abernathy. I am going to invite Mr. Abernathy to become and RMNews Agents so he can post his information on the Forum and dialogue with us about what he is finding and what he suspects it is pointing to. Excerpts: "A man charged with killing two people during a random shooting spree in Chapel Hill believed he could hear other people's thoughts, a defense lawyer said Wednesday. Wendell Justin Williamson also thought he, and he alone, could save the world from destruction..." ``He felt if he was not acknowledged as a telepath, something would happen that would destroy the world,'' "...the student who interviewed Williamson. Williamson told him there was a ``thing'' that lived in his spinal cord that could punish him for thoughts and behaviors. The voice once told Williamson to stop smoking..." "The thing told Williamson what others said about him and had a voice that was likable and honest. ``He said I would like the voice,'' McClintock testified. But the ``thing'' had the power to punish Williamson, McClintock said, and one punishment was the ability to make Williamson's underwear smell bad." "During the testimony about voices, the psychologist was interrupted when voices from a citizen's band radio conversation were picked up by the courtroom public address system." "A UNC psychiatrist testified that Williamson was released in 1992 by a judge despite doctors' opinions that he should remain hospitalized." "Jablonski, 47, is charged with the April 1991 mutilation slayings of four women, including his wife and her mother in Burlingame, while on parole for killing his third wife. Jablonski has been diagnosed with schizophrenia, a mental disorder that causes him to hear voices..." "The women were shot and sexually mutilated.Carol Spadoni married Jablonski on June 16, 1982, while he was serving a prison sentence for the 1979 murder of his third wife, Melinda Kimball. Jablonski also is charged with killing Fathyma Vann, 38, in Indio, about 25 miles from Palm Springs, the day before the double-murder. Vann was found shot and sexually mutilated in the desert with ``I love Jesus'' carved in her back." "His medical and psychiatric records show that he had previously been arrested by federal officials for making a bomb threat on an airliner. He had spent a year in a federal mental facility in Springfield, Mo., after he was found incompetent to stand trial on the bomb-threat charges." [Springfield is one of the Federal prisons that has been associated with mind controll programming] "McCutcheon, who had no formal religious affiliation, described himself as a Roman Catholic priest who had been attacked in Santa Monica by a witch and who was being oppressed by followers of Satan. He accused the judge of being in collusion with the CIA, and objected to being represented by a female public defender because "it's not appropriate for a woman to represent a Roman Catholic priest." "Napa psychiatrist Dr. John Baker told the court that McCutcheon was severely delusional, and obsessed with the notion that the CIA was plotting against him." "Joshua Rudiger, 21, of Oakland, was on probation for wounding a former friend with a bow and arrow and had been charged last year with stabbing a homeless man. He was arrested early yesterday after a fourth victim in the monthlong string of slashing assaults was attacked in Chinatown..." "Rudiger told police he is a 2,000-year-old vampire who uses the blood of his victims to scrawl an Asian-language character for death." "He said he sucks the blood of the victims after he has cut their throats." "Rudiger has been portrayed in court records as a schizophrenic as well as suffering from bipolar disorder. He is described as having an "odd" appearance and being prone to violent outbursts. He attempted suicide at age 15, stabbing himself with a samurai sword, according to court documents. He was then institutionalized at Napa State Hospital." ""Mr. Rudiger exhibits low frustration tolerance along with the delusional belief that he is a samurai whose duty it is to `kill all bad people,' " according to one evaluation in court records. "I'm a samurai. I was samurai before I was born, even in another life," he told one evaluator, according to court records." "The man who unleashed a night of terror in Berkeley prayed every day, worked as a handyman, collected guns, hated blond Americans and heard voices that said he owned the state of California." "Dashti used a variety of fake identities, occasionally masqueraded as a police officer..." "I believe that I am the victim of a government experiment, whereby I can communicate with many people using mental telepathy," Dashti said in a sworn statement to police last year. "I am not in control of the material that is being broadcasted through my mind." "He used at least five different Social Security numbers, including one issued to a 9-year-old girl, and several birth dates. -- He complained on several occasions of hearing voices." "Dashti's cramped apartment on Martin Luther King Way in Berkeley is cluttered with travel posters, books and hundreds of pages of photocopied letters to President Bush, Mayor Art Agnos, Health and Human Services Secretary Louis Sullivan and Supreme Court Justice William Rehnquist. In his letters, Dashti wrote that he had been hearing voices for four years, telling him that he owned the states of California, Oregon and Alaska and urging him to demand that the U.S. government pay him $14 trillion." "As you probably know," Dashti wrote in an undated letter to Agnos, "some kind of supernatural phenomenon is going on around here by means of which people hear voices in their head. These voices come as different messages relating to our social life, God and different power levels that exist among us." "I first noticed in radio and television they were talking to me," he said. "I became real mad after a while. They not only are reading thoughts, but injecting thought into the mind." From: "M. F. Abernathy" <abemarf@aol.com> Date: Sun Mar 25, 2001 10:17pm Subject: Mind Control-Related Murders In California? Why are the police and the courts always so quick to label the people involved in incidents such as these as "mentally ill" ? Is there another possible explanation for their actions? Read these articles and decide for yourself -- mental illness or MIND CONTROL ? ------ COMPETENCE TRIAL STARTS FOR ALLEGED SLASHER San Francisco Chronicle,THURSDAY, November 4, 1993 by John Woolfolk, Chronicle Correspondent Page number C16 Accused multiple murderer Phillip Carl Jablonski hunched over the defendant table in a Redwood City courtroom yesterday and silently stared at nothing as his attorney told a jury he is mentally incapable of standing trial. A jury of eight women and four men will decide whether Jablonski should proceed to trial or be treated at a state mental hospital. Jablonski, 47, is charged with the April 1991 mutilation slayings of four women, including his wife and her mother in Burlingame, while on parole for killing his third wife. He could face the death penalty if convicted. If he is found competent to stand trial, a different jury will decide whether he is guilty of the charges. Jablonski has been diagnosed with schizophrenia, a mental disorder that causes him to hear voices, said Jeff Boyarsky, his court-appointed attorney. ``He is not connected to reality,'' Boyarsky said. ``It is not enough to just sit there.'' But according to prosecutor Martin Murray, Jablonski's detached stares and occasional wide-eyed glances around the courtroom are part of a carefully planned act to manipulate the system and evade justice. Jablonski is charged with killing his wife, Carol Spadoni Jablonski, 47, and her mother, Eva Inge Peterson, 72, in their Burlingame home on April 23, 1991. The women were shot and sexually mutilated. Carol Spadoni married Jablonski on June 16, 1982, while he was serving a prison sentence for the 1979 murder of his third wife, Melinda Kimball. Jablonski also is charged with killing Fathyma Vann, 38, in Indio, about 25 miles from Palm Springs, the day before the double-murder. Vann was found shot and sexually mutilated in the desert with ``I love Jesus'' carved in her back. Jablonski is also charged with killing Margie Rogers, 58, during a $158 robbery in Grand County, Utah, on April 27, 1991. He was captured the next day at a rest stop in Kansas. ======= SUIT AGAINST HOSPITAL OFFICIALS TO OPEN - FREED KILLER OF 3 SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE, MONDAY April 25, 1988 by Bill Wallace, Chronicle Staff Writer Page number A2 Napa State Hospital officials negligently released a mental patient who later killed the sheriff of Humboldt County and two other men, according to a lawsuit scheduled to begin trial in Eureka today. The suit, which asks unspecified damages, was filed on behalf of the three victims' widows after the November 1982 shooting. It alleges that officials at Napa State Hospital released Clarence McCutcheon even though they considered him a violent and dangerous psychopath. McCutcheon was a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic with a long history of violent acts and threats. He was killed by police on Nov. 29, 1982, after he gunned down his three victims. Hospital Director At the time, the director of Napa State Hospital was Dr. Michael O'Connor, the current state director of mental health. The suit accuses O'Connor and other officials of ignoring state laws that allow psychiatric officials to confine dangerous mental patients up to 90 days if they may injure themselves or others. O'Connor and other state officials deny the allegations. Killed in the murderous rampage were Gene Cox, sheriff of Humboldt County for 16 years; Jack Alton, Cox's father-in-law, and Claire Montgomery, a resident of the trailer park where the shooting took place. Plaintiffs in the suit are Shirley Cox, Doris Montgomery and Hannah Alton. Jury selection in the case is scheduled to begin today. The lawsuit stems from a series of incidents that began in Eureka in October 1982. McCutcheon, a 50-year-old Santa Monica man, was sent to Napa after destroying the signs in a Eureka campground and threatening to kill a neighbor who asked him to stop. Previous Arrest His medical and psychiatric records show that he had previously been arrested by federal officials for making a bomb threat on an airliner. He had spent a year in a federal mental facility in Springfield, Mo., after he was found incompetent to stand trial on the bomb-threat charges. While in custody in Eureka, McCutcheon fought with mental health technicians and police, threatened to kill a doctor who examined him and had to be restrained to prevent him from attacking workers at the county crisis intervention center, according to his records. His medical records from the center describe him as "easily agitated, angry, threatening," and ordered his isolation from others "given recent evidence of unpredictability and threats of violence." "This patient is undoubtedly manic," said a psychiatric evaluation prepared in Eureka by Dr. William Patrick Murphy. "I believe him to be dangerous and capable of anything." After his transfer to Napa, McCutcheon continued to behave in a bizarre and threatening manner. Napa medical records prepared shortly after his admission describe him as "quite hostile and angry on approach." "He has recently been combative to staff." Priest Claim During a Nov. 3, 1982, Napa Superior Court hearing on whether he should remain in custody, McCutcheon, who had no formal religious affiliation, described himself as a Roman Catholic priest who had been attacked in Santa Monica by a witch and who was being oppressed by followers of Satan. He accused the judge of being in collusion with the CIA, and objected to being represented by a female public defender because "it's not appropriate for a woman to represent a Roman Catholic priest." Napa psychiatrist Dr. John Baker told the court that McCutcheon was severely delusional, and obsessed with the notion that the CIA was plotting against him. "On the basis of the information I received, I feel he is a danger to others," Baker told the court. ======== SLASHER SUSPECT ARRESTED IN ATTACKS ON S.F.'S POOR San Francisco Chronicle, WEDNESDAY, November 11, 1998 by Jaxon Van Derbeken, Chronicle Staff Writer [Chronicle staff writer Henry K. Lee contributed to this report. ] Page number A17 San Francisco - The man arrested yesterday in the throat-slashing attacks on San Francisco's homeless allegedly told police he is a 2,000-year-old vampire who uses the blood of his victims to scrawl an Asian-language character for death. Joshua Rudiger, 21, of Oakland, was on probation for wounding a former friend with a bow and arrow and had been charged last year with stabbing a homeless man. He was arrested early yesterday after a fourth victim in the monthlong string of slashing assaults was attacked in Chinatown. Police said they believe Rudiger killed 48-year-old Shirley Dillahunty on October 29 in the doorway where she slept on 18th Street in the Mission District. They also suspect he slashed the throats of two homeless men in a Nob Hill alley October 16. Both men survived. "We have physical evidence tying four of these attacks together," said Deputy Chief Richard Holder. At three crime scenes, he said, the attacker left behind "an Asian character or symbol." Sources said the character was the word "death" and that Rudiger claimed to have written it in blood. Rudiger has another Asian character tattooed across his chest that refers to childhood or youth, police say. Holder said Rudiger had "admitted some guilt to the four incidents," but added, "We need to corroborate his statements." One claim was particularly gruesome, said a source close to the investigation. "He said he sucks the blood of the victims after he has cut their throats." Rudiger was booked on suspicion of murder and assault and was being held without bail at San Francisco County Jail. He is slated to undergo psychiatric evaluation today at San Francisco General Hospital, sheriff's officials said. Rudiger was arrested at 12:30 a.m. yesterday after a 48-year-old homeless man fought off an assailant who slashed his throat as he slept on a park bench near Vinton Court and Quincy Street in Chinatown. The unidentified man, who is expected to survive, alerted police. Officers Alane Baca and Gregory Huie spotted Rudiger about two blocks away, at Grant Avenue and Sacramento Street. He allegedly had a bloody knife in his belt. "It was pretty good police work by the guys on the street," said Captain John Goldberg of Central Station. Rudiger has been portrayed in court records as a schizophrenic as well as suffering from bipolar disorder. He is described as having an "odd" appearance and being prone to violent outbursts. He attempted suicide at age 15, stabbing himself with a samurai sword, according to court documents. He was then institutionalized at Napa State Hospital. "Mr. Rudiger exhibits low frustration tolerance along with the delusional belief that he is a samurai whose duty it is to `kill all bad people,' " according to one evaluation in court records. "I'm a samurai. I was samurai before I was born, even in another life," he told one evaluator, according to court records. ======== GUNMAN SAID HE HEARD VOICES OF DEMONS SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE, FRIDAY September 28, 1990 by Beatrice Motamedi, Michael Taylor, Bill Wallace, Chronicle Staff Writer Page number A1 The man who unleashed a night of terror in Berkeley prayed every day, worked as a handyman, collected guns, hated blond Americans and heard voices that said he owned the state of California. Police and FBI reports, academic records and interviews with people who knew and lived with Mehrdad Dashti paint a picture of a 30-year -old Iranian immigrant torn between big dreams and dangerous delusions. Dashti's roommate, Frederick Smith, 19, described him as "a really nice guy . . . easy to get along with," and a religious Muslim who prayed in the living room. "He must have snapped," Smith said. According to investigators, Dashti used a variety of fake identities, occasionally masqueraded as a police officer and had several run-ins with the law before yesterday's violent outburst. Alameda County social service officials classified Dashti as a paranoid schizophrenic in April 1988, according to a document found in his apartment. "I believe that I am the victim of a government experiment, whereby I can communicate with many people using mental telepathy," Dashti said in a sworn statement to police last year. "I am not in control of the material that is being broadcasted through my mind." Details of Dashti's fantasy world are contained in records compiled by FBI agents and San Francisco police, who investigated allegations that Dashti and a friend had tried to pass $16,900 in stolen checks. The records reveal that: He used at least five different Social Security numbers, including one issued to a 9-year-old girl, and several birth dates. -- He complained on several occasions of hearing voices. After being arrested for allegedly ramming 48 vehicles in Berkeley and Albany in a 1988 vandalism spree, he claimed he was not responsible because "demons" had made him wreck the cars. During an interview with the FBI last year, Dashti said he had been having mental problems for the past three years and was seeing a counselor at Berkeley-Oakland Support Services, a public assistance agency. POLICE RECORD Dashti's erratic personality brought him into frequent conflict with the law. Shortly after immigrating to the United States from Iran in 1979, he was arrested for petty theft; he was arrested again on similar charges in 1983. Both times, he was placed in a pretrial diversion program for small-time offenders. After his 1988 car spree, Dashti was sentenced to 18 days in jail and three years probation. He was meeting regularly with his probation officer just before his death. Dashti's cramped apartment on Martin Luther King Way in Berkeley is cluttered with travel posters, books and hundreds of pages of photocopied letters to President Bush, Mayor Art Agnos, Health and Human Services Secretary Louis Sullivan and Supreme Court Justice William Rehnquist. In his letters, Dashti wrote that he had been hearing voices for four years, telling him that he owned the states of California, Oregon and Alaska and urging him to demand that the U.S. government pay him $14 trillion. "As you probably know," Dashti wrote in an undated letter to Agnos, "some kind of supernatural phenomenon is going on around here by means of which people hear voices in their head. These voices come as different messages relating to our social life, God and different power levels that exist among us." Dashti wrote that he started hearing voices in September 1986. "I first noticed in radio and television they were talking to me," he said. "I became real mad after a while. They not only are reading thoughts, but injecting thought into the mind." RANTING ABOUT BLONDES There were signs that Dashti was progressively incapable of dealing with society. During the siege, Dashti ranted about blond women, saying they tempted men with provocative clothing. "For some reason, he had something against blondes -- Caucasian women -- and blond-haired, blue-eyed men," said Douglas Moore, 25, one of the hostages. "He had something against Americans." As recently as a month ago, Dashti had asked his black roommate, UC Berkeley junior Frederick Smith of Los Angeles, whether he knew any black women Dashti could marry. Yet, Smith said, Dashti also alternately dated and spurned a white blonde named Julie. ========= SUSPECT RULED INSANE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE, THURSDAY April 12, 1990 [BAY AREA REPORT ], Page number B8 SANTA ROSA -- A 24-year-old man accused of killing the matriarch of a prominent Santa Rosa area turkey-ranching family was found incompetent to stand trial and sent to a state mental hospital yesterday. Superior Court Judge Raymond J. Giordano said Pierre Creager could still face murder charges in connection with the death of Eleen (Johnnie) Nicholas, 74, if his sanity is restored through treatment at Atascadero State Hospital. The judge ordered Creager to spend three years at the hospital. Dr. Ronald W. Byledbal, a psychiatrist who interviewed the suspect on Tuesday, told the court that Creager suffers from delusions and should be classified as a paranoid schizophrenic. Byledbal said Creager told him that he is guided by a power known only to him and "believes he has done a good thing and would do it again." Nicholas, mother-in-law of Sonoma County Supervisor Janet Nicholas, was found dead in her home last Thursday. ======= MARtin F. ABErnathy [abemarf@aol.com]
