    The CIA, Tavistock Institute, and the Global “Intelligence-Police Gestapo” State

    Abstract/Summary Quotes

    As L. Marcus (1974) writes in his excellent investigation piece; “Reesian methods rely, completely and consciously, on the destruction of the mental life of world society and a forced march into universal sadism.”…. Within this lies their affinity- men as mindless beasts whose minds, according to Tavistock, are something to be manipulated and destroyed.

    …. “The Tavistock- and Reesian method- that the class war should be waged with “weapons that affect morale more than they take life”- has become, in the post-war period, the primary weapon system of the Rockefeller forces, including their own covert arm, the Central Intelligence Agency.

    The CIA apparatus has penetrated every key organization, including think tanks, universities, non-governmental organizations and Foundations. For example, most major universities are either entirely or substantially branches of the CIA…. Through control of governmental and major foundations, the CIA has been able to have a say “not only in what programs are funded, but to control the selection of instructors who move into controlling positions” as honest academicians are weeded out and hounded into retirement.

    …. The situation is extremely grave. We are fighting a combined effort of some of the most brilliant people in history who scheme against us for the purposes of possessing us. But the human will is immortal. Tyrants have killed millions and yet people fought and eventually won their freedom…. Immortality has its moral basis in truth and incorruptibility. It deserves to be given all the support that it can get. It deserves to be fought and died for.

    Daniel Estulin: “Tavistock: Social Engineering the Masses” (2015)

    The development of the CIA establishment has been essentially directed to a systematic infiltration of all principle existing institutions, an infiltration which is deliberate, preparatory deployment, aimed at the establishment of a “quasi-legal” fascist takeover with the help of some of the leading families of America.

    Peter Cuskie, “The Tavistock Grin: The Shaping of the Anglo-American SS by War” (1974)

    The CIA works with every intelligence agency in the entire world, but especially including Britain’s MI6 and Israel’s Mossad and Shinbet. It even works with intelligence agencies of our official enemies, Iran and North Korea, according to an American ex-intelligence officer. America now has its troops in 160 out of about 190 nations, and apparently, its intelligence agencies are in each of these countries as well. We have space satellites spying on the entire earth that can actually read the fine print on golf balls. They are spying on us; they may have our phones and our houses wiretapped and our cars tapped and bugged.

    According to a recent article entitled; “Top Secret America: A Washington Post Investigation:” “Some 1271 government organizations and 1,931 private companies work on programs related to counter-terrorism, Homeland Security, and intelligence in about 10,000 locations across the United States…. An estimated 854,000 people, nearly 1.5 times as many people as live in Washington, D.C., hold top secret security clearances. In Washington and the surrounding area, 33 building complexes for top secret intelligence work are under construction or have been built since September, 2001.”

    Former Air Force Officer and Christian author, Texe Marrs, 2010, Power of Prophecy program (2010)

    The Congressional report cited by John Kelly (whose book “Tainting Evidence: Inside the Scandals at the FBI Crime Lab” was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize) states that “several hundred times every day” officers of the Clandestine Service (CS) of the CIA “engage in highly illegal activities.”

    From www.fightgangstalking.com

    Victor Thorn: People may say that Barack Obama was at Columbia University in the period between 1981 and 1983. But the truth of the matter is that there is absolutely no evidence that Barack Obama was ever at Columbia. There’s no transcript, no yearbook accounts, no work records, no housing records, no friends, no associates. A guy named Wayne Allen Wrote, who ran as a vice presidential candidate of the Libertarian Party, was in the same graduating class and major (Political Science) as Barack Obama at Columbia University. He interviewed 400 people in his graduating class and he couldn’t find a single person that knew Obama, saw him, or remembered him there at Columbia. So not only have all of his college records at Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard been sealed and not released. His birth certificate records are also sealed and haven’t been released. So what we have here with this guy is a huge question mark. If he wasn’t at Columbia for those three years, where was he?

    When you look at Obama’s past when he was only 20-years old, when he travels to Pakistan in 1981, he’s meeting with the Prime Minister of Pakistan, with the leader of the (Afghanistan) Northern Command, with ex-Soviet war veterans, with the people from the Mujahadeen. So we have to ask ourselves, how is a 20-year old kid, a college student, meeting with some of the most important people in this (Afghanistan) war at this time? And he actually stayed with a man named Mohammedan Sumra, who was the interim Prime Minister of Pakistan, who is also tied in with BCCI, which is probably the biggest, dirtiest (CIA) banking scandal of all time. So how is this college kid, with no money, no resources, meeting with the highest people in Pakistan, in Afghanistan, and even Russians? It doesn’t make sense unless you look at him as a CIA asset. That’s the only thing that makes sense.

    Marrs: A horrible thing, a Manchurian-type candidate. So it’s all just a fake resume reference, isn’t it?… And we know that George Herbert Walker Bush, the first Bush president, was not only the head of the CIA (in 1976), he was also was working in the CIA at a lower level in Dallas, Texas at the time of the JFK assassination and was implicated in the plot to kill JFK.

    Thorn: Yes, there is a lot of evidence for that and good videotapes out there on that subject.

    We have met the enemy and he is us. Pogo

    Introduction:

    Throughout this website, and in my previous post, in particular (“Judaism Discovered:” Interview of author, Michael Hoffman, II by Texe Marrs (2009), I identified the chief beneficiaries of ‘Operation 9/11” as the controllers of the “world system,” who may be described as the Judeo/Masonic/Satanic conspiracy. The “military” enforcement arm of the world plutocracy is comprised of all the interlocking intelligence agencies and their innumerable affiliates, cut-outs, etc.

    And certainly, we must also count amongst the chief beneficiaries of the 9/11 “false-flag, synthetic, state-sponsored terror” event, the intelligence agencies that helped plan, execute, and cover-up the event! Even immediately following “Operation 9/11,” many savvy researchers and government people reported that the CIA and Mossad (Israeli intelligence), with help from elements within the U.S. military and political establishment, were the main culprits. (Indeed, I came to this conclusion in my 2002 article: “The Origins of 9/11: Three Scenarios,” which is posted on this website.)

    And we know that immediately after 9/11, American intelligence agencies and the new Department of Homeland Security received vast infusions of money in order to better integrate the efforts of the various federal, state, and local agencies in order to “fight terrorism.” Pretty slick trick, no? First, intelligence agencies execute a hugely expensive operation against their own country, killing 3,000 and providing pretext for a series of wars of aggression in the Middle East that have only benefited Israel and have killed millions more innocent victims. Second, these same agencies receive vastly more money! (This is another example of the Hegelian principle in action: “problem, reaction, solution”/or “thesis/antithesis/synthesis”)

    Meanwhile, of course, no one in our already vast intelligence, military, or political apparatus was ever prosecuted for their failure to protect the nation from the 9/11 attacks, let alone for carrying out the operation itself! The “chutzpah” of all this, to use a Jewish word, is mind-boggling! It is probably quite appropriate to use Jewish terms here, for on 9/11 the Director of the CIA, George Tenet, was himself a Jew named George Cohen, who had changed his last name to Tenet. The previous DCIA (Director of the CIA) was Jew, John Deutch, who had been more or less “outed” for his role in overseeing the CIA’s illicit drug trade. So it is a fair guess that American military/intelligence had already been infiltrated, corrupted, co-opted, and commandeered by Jews and crypto-Jews well before “Operation 9/11” was staged, more or less as a television show or movie, as trauma-based mind control of the masses and pretext to drive the world towards the “One World Government”/”Jewish Utopia” that Jewish rabbis have long planned. Not incidentally, psychology itself has traditionally been considered a “Jewish science” and throughout its history and even current applications, Jews have played and still play the dominant role by far.

    This post interweaves narratives that explain: 1) the history of (Illuminati) factions and institutions in Britain, Germany, and America that developed the capability to wage “psychological warfare” against their own domestic populations via the “weaponization of psychology” (from Estulin, 2015), 2) the enormous increase in the size and scope of the post-9/11 global “(black) intelligence state” (from Marrs, Power of Prophecy program, 2010), and 3) that President Barack Obama himself is not only a long-time CIA asset, he may also be a “Manchurian Candidate”/mind-controlled slave of the “cryptocracy” (rule by secrecy)!

    It has already been demonstrated on this website that 1) “Operation 9/11” (and the myriad other false-flag terror events designed by psychological experts to keep the masses in a dissociated, terrorized and confused state) were and are hatched in our own elite think tanks, universities, foundations, etc., and 2) that this sustained, covert “class” war chiefly employs the tools of mind control and propaganda. Terms used by the elite to describe this war are “counterinsurgency” and “counter-terrorism.” To help destroy our civilization, the psychopathic elite employ a vast network of secret societies, the media, Hollywood, cults and religions, and military/intelligence agencies. This network is so extensive that many Americans undoubtedly have family and/or friends who are a part of it! Hence, Pogo’s prescient prognostication: “We have met the enemy and he is us.” Or at least he walks among us. Perhaps the Biblical image of wheat and tares is the more appropriate image.

    But it must be understood that this network of “respectable” institutions, including think tanks, foundations, universities, etc., has been utilized to create the means of destroying the very pillars upon which western civilization is built: the nation-state, religion, the family, private property, free will, reason, truth, and beauty. And it particularly targets Christianity and Christians for destruction… again, via infiltration, corruption, co-option, etc. This post details just how the oligarchic and psychopathic elite has utilized and continues to utilize the principles of “psychological warfare” to impose total control (slavery and genocide) over the “goy” masses, or “beasts.” A prime goal, of course, is to cement “class relationships” in perpetuity, as envisioned in Orwell’s classic, “1984”- by imposing a fascist control system with a “democratic face.” This covert war deploys deception, terror, Satanism, propaganda, mind control, gangstalking (or “intelligence stalking”- see “Appendix 20. What is Gang Stalking?”), and other forms of psychological warfare on a vast scale.

    This post includes two narratives of others and some commentary by myself (Dr. Eric T. Karlstrom). Part I, excerpted from Estulin (2015), documents that global elite (headed by Illuminati families and the Black Nobility) covert psychological warfare against the masses during the last century has involved the “weaponization” of psychology and psychiatry. And it identifies the global network of foundations, secret societies, and intelligence agencies that ultimately led to “Operation 9/11.” Estulin describes his seminal book as an “anti-brainwashing combat manual.” Similarly, this website presents the evidence that citizens need to understand how and why “Operation 9/11” was designed to help usher in the long-planned, long-sought one-world government/religion/economic system/kingdom of Satan.

    Part II is a transcription of a Texe Marrs’ “Power of Prophecy” program that describes the exponential growth of the global “black intelligence state” that followed “Operation 9/11.” The program, recorded in 2010, is “Unmasking the spooks, spies, and spidery connections of the global Illuminati elite.” The expansion and integration of these worldwide intelligence operations should be understood as among the prime objectives of “Operation 9/11.” (The other main objective being to provide pretext for a series of wars of aggression in the Middle East that benefit Israel). The second part of this program features an interview between Marrs and Victor Thorn, author of “Front Man; The Dark Side of Obama.” In this segment, Thorn presents evidence that President Barack Obama has not only been a CIA asset since his youth but may be also be a MKULTRA/Monarch mind-controlled slave, a “Manchurian candidate.”

    Taken together, the information and insights presented here permit us to glimpse the enormous size and scope and the very grim intentions of the “black intelligence” octopus/Behemoth which, on behalf of the global financial elite, now holds humanity in its clutches. It also answers many important questions. However, the answers provided here are not pleasant ones. Many Americans will recall reading Orwell and Huxley’s books, “1984” and “Brave New World,” at some point in their lives. Evidence presented here suggests these “dystopian” novels are more than fictional nightmares; they actually be part of a “predictive programming” strategy designed to prepare the masses to accept the long-planned totalitarian one-world state? Have the world’s kings, nobility, and super-rich now intermarried and combined forces with the worshippers of Satan who direct the Jewish/Masonic/Satanic plan for world conquest? Evidence presented herein suggests that this is the case.

    Part I. Historical background to “Operation 9/11: Excerpts from Estulin’s “Tavistock Institute: Social Engineering the Masses” (2015)

    A. Tavistock Institute of Human Relations, the “Aquarian Conspiracy,” and the destruction of identity

    “Tavistock (Institute) in Sussex, England, ”is the world’s center for mass brainwashing and social engineering activities” (LaRouche.com, 1980). From a somewhat crude beginning at Wellington House, grew a sophisticated organization that was to shape the destiny of the entire planet, and in the process, change the paradigm of modern society. In this (book) we uncover both the Tavistock network and the methods of brainwashing and psychological warfare being adapted as we speak then and now for the application to large social engineering projects.

    This is the “Aquarian Conspiracy” as the brainwashers refer to themselves, referring to a super-secret 1974 Stanford Research Institute study entitled “Changing Images of Man.” You can think of this book as essentially an anti-brainwashing combat manual. Brainwashing depends on the ignorance of the victims….. This book… attempts to show that the conspiracy is real, who is behind it, what are its final long-term objectives. and how we the people can stop them from taking us to Hell.

    …. The conclusion that you the reader will reach is that the moral, material, cultural, and intellectual decay that we are witnessing helplessly every day across the globe is not accidental, not an act of God who is punishing us for our Earthly misdeeds, but a deliberately induced social crisis…. What’s in the balance is the future of the planet, the immortality of the human race, and the survival of our species.

    ….During World War II, “Tavistock was the headquarters of the British Army’s Psychological Warfare Bureau, which, through the arrangements of the Special Operations Executive also dictated policy to the United States Armed Forces in the matters of psychological warfare”…. Make no mistake, everything from the New Left to Watergate to Vietnam to Pentagon Papers to the insane hippies, the anti-war movement and the drug-rock counterculture were all pre-planned social engineering projects…. These groups regard us and the principles of nation states as their axiomatic, philosophical enemy.

    This interlocked juggernaut of evil consists of some of the world’s most prestigious centers of knowledge and research such as Stanford Research Center at Stanford University, Rand Corporation, MIT/Sloane, the Advanced Center of Behavioral Research at Palo Alto, the Institute of Social Research at the University of Michigan, the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, the Harvard Business School, London School of Economics, the National Training Laboratories, the Hudson Institute, Esalen Institute, the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Institute of Drug Abuse, the Office of Naval Research. There are others, such as the Geneva-based International Foundation for Development Alternatives and Executive Conference Center, the first full-time Age of Aquarius graduate school, charged with teaching behavioral modification for high level executives from Fortune’s top 500 companies. Human zombies placed at top-level management positions to lead us into the New Dark Age of transcendental consciousness (There are) two foci, first, changes needed in the United States; and second, the global order.

    Over the period of half a century, tens of billions of dollars have been allocated by the government of the United States with surreptitious help from think tanks and foundations aligned with Tavistock to fund the work of these groups. Every aspect of the mental and psychological life of people on the planet was profiled, recorded and stored into computer systems. Above the closely co-operating groups of social scientists, psychologists, psychiatrists, anthropologists, think tanks and foundations presides the elite of powerful members of the oligarchy, comprised mostly of the old Venetian Black Nobility.

    What is the purpose of these behavior modifications, you may ask? It is to bring about forced changes to our way of life, without our agreement, and without ever realizing what is happening to us. The ultimate goal being “the complete extirpation of mankind’s inner sense of identity, the tearing out of mankind’s innermost soul and the replacement, in the vacant space, of an artificial, synthetic pseudo-soul.” (LaRouche, 1980). However, in order to change mankind’s behavior away from industrial production into spiritualism and to bring us willfully into the world of post-industrial era of zero growth and zero progress, one must force first a change in mankind’s “self-image,” its fundamental conception of what we are. Thus, the image of man appropriate to that new era must be sought, synthesized and then wired into mankind’s brain.

    As Professor John McMurtry wrote in his 2001 opening address to the “Science for Peace Forum” held at the University of Toronto, “totality of rule is not the only parameter of totalitarianism. Limitlessness of power also proceeds from an omnipresent center.” In the new totalitarian movement, “this omnipresent directive force” communicates through behavior modification and identity change- the dominant modes of the interlocked system (McMurtry, 2001)….

    (ETK note: The preceding paragraphs may help to identify the de facto mission of my hometown of Crestone/Baca, Colorado. See my extended series of articles: “Is Crestone/Baca the “Vatican City of the New World Order?” An Expose of the New World Religion” on this website.)

    B. Psychological Warfare Against the Masses

    …. Counterinsurgency cannot proceed merely on (the basis of synthetic terror events and) horrors; it requires conscious and systematic application by the ruling class, or its dupes” (Menzel, 1974). This was achieved by fusing psychology and psychiatry in the 1930’s.

    “The first massive application of psychology as a conscious weapon took place in Nazi Germany, especially in reference to eugenics, which played upon the most backward Aryan illusions held by and imposed on portions of the masses. While the cause and development of Nazi butchery stemmed wholly from the world economic collapse, its specific form, eugenics, was devised by the Nazis’ favorite theoreticians and technicians- the psychiatrists.” (Menzel, 1974).

    Since then, the “science of mind,” has been converted into the craft of mind destruction. Legitimate, therapeutic approaches have given way to behavior-modifying pseudo-science in the name of aversion therapy. This conversion of mind science was truly shaped by war- “the war of mental genocide waged by the bourgeoisie (ETK note: “bourgeoisie” was a Jewish/Bolshevik term used to dehumanize gentiles/Christians. The correct term, as demonstrated on this website, is “Jews”) against the working class” (Menzel, 1974). The essential premise of the work of Tavistock is the premise that certain kinds of democratic “institutions represent far more efficient instrumentalities for fascist dictatorship than the traditional, straightforwardly” authoritarian models. “From the great oil hoax and CIA-style brainwashing, the psychological sciences have followed the route initially outlined in 1945 by (Brigadier General, “Sir”) Dr. John Rawlings Rees, grand master of psywar counterinsurgency, in his book, “The Shaping of Psychiatry by War.” Rees called for the development of psychiatric shock troops in order to develop “methods of political control based upon driving the majority of the human population toward psychosis” through procedures of so-called programmed behavioral modification. He proposed this to render the population submissive under the (British-led) post-World War II economic world order.

    …. Only a “conspiracy of psychiatrists”- as Rees meant when he spoke of his mission- “could build a society where it is possible for people of every social group to have treatment when they need it, even when they do not wish it, without the necessity to invoke the law.” For Rees, the construction of that cabal became his lifelong “mission.” As L. Marcus writes in his excellent investigation piece; “Reesian methods rely, completely and consciously, on the destruction of the mental life of world society and a forced march into universal sadism” (Marcus, 1974). Within this lies their affinity- men as mindless beasts whose minds, according to Tavistock, are something to be manipulated and destroyed.

    Since then, different methods of psychological warfare developed at Tavistock Institute have been the central features of the activities of a world-wide set of interlocking think tanks in consultative capacity and special commissions, government agencies, and corporation, their developmental studies and pilot projects with the clear-cut objective of shaping political techniques of social control.

    … The specific topics towards the establishing of fascism with a democratic face are as follows:

    1) Area Population Psychological Studies. Examples include: 1) the so-called “Strategic Bombing Survey” (which resulted in the deaths of over half a million Germans in the firebombing of Dresden and other cities at the close of World War II) which “mapped out the best ways to destroy the morale of the civilian population at the lowest cost,” and 2) “Operation Phoenix,” the genocidal operation in South Vietnam which killed over 20,000 civilians in incidents such as the Mai Lai massacre.

    2) The Media. Deliberate and habitual falsification of the information is a way of creating “desensitization effects in the mass population by causing the socially-accredited interpretation of cause-effect relations to violate sensuous rational interpretation of experience.” (As in “Operation 9/11” itself and the “global warming fraud”- ETK note.)

    3) Local Community Control. “The objective of ‘local community control’ as a fascist counterinsurgency tactic is to fragment the subject population into relatively hermetic political groupings…. Setting such groups into competition against each other under the conditions of general austerity is an effective (Kurt) Lewinite-technique for inducing self-brainwashing among these groups and progressive psychological deterioration toward polymorphous perverse pseudo-families and outright clinical psychosis.” (“The Campaigner,” Nov.-Dec., 1974).

    4) The application of task-oriented small group brainwashing techniques to leaderless groups. “Under these conditions, semi-psychosis and psychosis cause the group to “voluntarily attain degrees of intensification of labor, which cannot be forced from sane labor. The members of such self-brainwashing leaderless group work teams emulate the “racehorse” syndrome, driving hysterically toward literally suicidal work-paced.”

    (ETK note: It seems these techniques not only help explain the imposed psychological group dynamics of “Operation Crestone/Baca,” but also explain those imposed in universities and in communities all across America as well (via Agenda 21, see my article entitled “Global Green Dictatorship” on this website).

    C. Harnessing the Occult and the Rockefeller/Tavistock/Nazi/CIA Creation of Mind Control Slaves

    …. Royal Arch Freemasonry infiltrated British Intelligence departments “from its inception (MI1).” The KGB Royal Arch Freemasons were one of these departments in this tarantula-like Masonic organization.

    … The “Land of Memory” has always been the primary objective of mind control and counterinsurgency operations. There is a phrase which is perhaps not used so much these days as it was in the tender years of the twentieth century; “the blue bird of happiness…” (T)his term had its origins in “The Blue Bird” (1909), the most famous work by the Belgian Nobel Prize-winning author and dramatist, Maurice Maeterlinck….. Secret societies, intelligence agencies and government use literature to indoctrinate their cadres into becoming mind control slaves to the elites. Bluebird is one such (mind-control) program devised by Tavistock specifically for the CIA.

    For part of their initiation, intelligence agents are asked to participate in a play “full of occult and esoteric elements of necromancy treasure-quest”…. The search for the Blue Bird will give (these recruits) these powers as they walk through the Land of Memory, the Palace of the Night, a Graveyard, and an enchanted Forest…. Bluebird, and its associate programs such as MK-ULTRA and OFTEN, became involved in all aspects of behavior modification, hypnosis, drug-induced psychological states and the creation of amnesia.

    …. One of the ways in which such practices were encouraged and used by Tavistock brainwashers involved increasing levels of productivity and the intensification of labor at the expense of one’s health. In other words, Rockefeller-induced self-motivated destruction of the self (would be used to produce) a society of brainwashed zombies, content to subsist on the brink of starvation, performing sadomasochistic acts of sodomy for a perceptibly irrational sort of ‘psychotic holocaust’…. “The idea was to re-create a family dynamic, or a dynamic of peer pressure, in group therapy, where predetermined objectives were forced onto the group through consensus, or “democracy,” in the language of these social engineers. The idea was that by attacking someone’s sovereign identity in the group, that individual would forfeit their sovereignty to the group and become suggestible to the predetermined objectives. Such techniques play upon the “vulnerable person’s guilt shame and regret with both sledgehammer and scalpel. Humiliated by the group, with only the unreal realm to judge from, the individual further degrades himself and accepts the verdict. He begins producing more.

    “This is the malicious, disgusting kernel of co-participation, “quality of life,” co-determination, “humanization,” human relations or whatever other euphemism may be mustered, all under the banner of “Post Industrial Society,” a Ford Foundation-sponsored piece of garbage whose particular point, as a counterinsurgency weapon of ideology, introduced the proto-fascist notion of “Zero Growth.” As M. Minnicino explains, “The slave labor and death camp system of the Nazis are not quirks of Hitler and his associates, but an intrinsic expression of the fundamental policies of any “Zero Growth” economy. It is impossible to have Zero Growth policies beginning today without mass genocide tomorrow.”

    (ETK note: The above paragraph certainly seems to explain techniques now being widely applied in our society: To the Crestone/Baca’s elite-imposed mandate of “no growth” and to sequential Congressional, university, community financial cut-backs that have been so commonplace during the past several decades.)

    The 1940’s was the turning point for the Rockefeller strategy of behavior modification-brainwashing, co-determination, co-participation, corporatism, for the takeover of the United States and world labor movement. As war wound down, Rockefeller changed the psychology of the workers in ways essential to the way he would rule the U.S. organized labor movement from then on… Rockefeller took many of the social scientists who had been involved in the bestial-fascist war intelligence services and set them up on campuses in Labor Institutes funded with Rockefeller Foundation, National Institute of Mental Health, Army, Navy, Air Force and large capitalist firm money, guidance and projects. These Labor Institutes were created at the same time as the CIA, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the National Security Council as part of the same network that Rockefeller was building to rule the world, once the United States had replaced Britain, after the war as the world’s strongest power….

    “The three Rockefeller-formed and funded and directed labor institutes, Tavistock, the ISR, and Cornell H.R., are only three of the more than two to three hundred that were started by the Rockefellers throughout the world after the Second World War. They include the Center d’Etudes de Problemes Humaines de Travial and the Association pour la Recherche et L’Intervention Psycho-sociologiques in France; the Industrial Research Institute in Bonn, Germany and the DGB’s (German Trade Union) Department of Social Relations Institute, also in Germany; la Sociedad Argentina de Investigation Operative (SADIO); the International Jewish Research Foundation on Human Relations in Israel, and the Psychological Institute at Kyushu in Japan, to name a few.” (“The Campaigner,” 1974).

    The list of Rockefeller influence is enormous. Between the Rockefeller family’s long-standing control over the American Medical Association and American Psychiatric Association, and the encroachment of the CIA establishment into all branches of government, various governmental, including military funds, were used to push the development of brainwashing and to plant Rockefeller-Tavistock protégés in key positions and institutions. For example, B.F. Skinner’s position at Harvard was established this way……

    … The religious and mystical dimensions to the story of Tavistock are central to any study of the US government’s postwar interests in how psychology and parapsychology could benefit the intelligence agencies. It was Tavistock and the cabal of scientists who were the first to bring the potential uses of paranormal abilities in military applications, as well as the first in developing chemical substances that would stimulate psychic abilities. This cabal included men, such as Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, head of CIA’s Technical Services Staff, with shadowy connections both to Operations Paperclip on the one side… and to the Kennedy assassination on the other.

    As Peter Levanda explains in “Sinister Forces,” “swirling about the feet and hands of the Kennedy assassination was a sticky fog of occultists, wandering bishops, American intelligence and Nazi scientists. All were a handshake or two away from JFK’s alleged assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald. They were all talking to ghosts, practicing ritual magic, holding hands around the séance table or sacrificing chickens in New Orleans apartments. And, in some cases, they were also members of America’s ruling elite, the wealthiest and best-connected families in the country” (Levenda, 2001).

    …. The CIA and the satanic cults; the mythology of the late twentieth century is surprisingly coherent even though the masks change from case to case, from victim to alleged victim. The CIA, of course, does exist; their mind control programs, from Bluebird to Artichoke to MK-ULTA, are a matter of public record. Their history of political assassinations and the overthrow of various foreign governments are also a matter of record. Satanic cults, or perhaps we should qualify that and say “occult secret societies,” also exist and are a matter of public record; their attempts to contact higher spirits through arcane rituals are also well-documented and well-known.

    … “Intelligence officers and cultists have a lot in common. Secrecy is a way of life for both the spy and sorcerer; they both use codes and code names; they both pretend to have access to mysteries not available to the general public; they both claim to be able to influence events at a distance with their special abilities and power. They both specialize in the manipulation of reality; both are aware that things are not always what they seem to be; and they are both ruthless and often amoral or immoral in the pursuit of their goals. And when one can so easily manipulate the perception of reality, one eventually comes to the realization that Truth, itself, is a malleable thing. So it was only natural that the cultist and the spy would gravitate towards each other and would try to learn from each other.” (Levenda, 2011).

    This control of reality, of the perception of reality, and the creation of “consensus reality” is a powerful political tool, and has been since the ancient times when the proverbial sorcerers could appear to create solar eclipses by simply knowing when one would occur and act accordingly. To control and manipulate the reality of the masses, one uses what is known as psychological warfare. And it is but one step from controlling a person’s perception of reality to getting that person to act on it.

    The CIA and Tavistock were opening Pandora’s Box of demonic forces: the black box of consciousness. The techniques included drugs, various forms of hypnosis and even more extreme measures such as those developed by Dr. Ewen Cameron in Montreal, procedures known as “psychic driving,” which involves drastic sensory deprivation sessions in an effort to wipe the consciousness clean and record a new consciousness over the old, much the same way we would record over a used cassette tape. It is the story of the modern day Frankenstein, or a laboratory full of Frankensteins, the monsters they made: monsters that wander the streets of our cities today.

    (Levenda, 2011) states: “It would only be a matter of time before the mind control researchers began to scour the records of occultists, magicians, witches, voodoo priests and Siberian shamans to isolate the techniques that were used since time immemorial to supplant a person’s normal, comfortable, everyday consciousness and replace it with a powerful, all-knowing and sometimes violent, and always deceptive alter personality; and to use those alters to uncover the action of deep memory, for MK-ULTRA was, at its core, an assault on the Land of Memory; the creation of new, false memories and the eradication of old, dangerous ones.”

    …. The doors of perception had been opened, not only by drugs like mescaline, LSD and psilocybin, but also by the séance, the shamans and the secret ritual. All had become tools of the trade for elements of the CIA, and their assault on memory and consciousness threw open the doors of perception and, instead of letting the Light in, they let Darkness out. Drugs, shamanism, and the occult. The dark domain of Charles Manson, of John Rawlings Rees, of Nazi doctors, of Hollywood and the music industry, and the CIA and MI6 initiation sessions. With psychedelics, they disturbed the sleep of ancient forces, and the world would never be the same again.

    (ETK note: These paragraphs, particularly, reinforce my conclusion that what I’m calling “Operation Crestone/Baca” has turned my home town in Colorado into a “laboratory” in which to study, develop, and implement these kinds of CIA/Tavistock psychological warfare programs. Estulin’s excellent book confirms my suspicions that Crestone/Baca itself is a hotbed of CIA-related occult, mind-control and social engineering projects.)

    D. Re-Creation of Reality Through Magic and Mind Control

    … All of these (Tavistock/CIA) techniques share an ontological purpose: to manipulate perceptions and to re-create reality. Once that Pandora’s box was open, there was no closing it again. The temptation was too great. For those who wanted to play God, there was the next best thing: one could play with the elements of creation in such a way that magical transformations would take place. As the men of the OSS, CIA, military, intelligence and with Tavistock oversight developed from the armchair scholars that most of them were before the war years into soldiers fighting on the all fronts of the Cold War, they became, in a very real sense, magicians. “The Cold War mind control projects themselves represented an assault on consciousness and reality that has not been seen in history since the age of the philosopher-kings and their court alchemists.” (Simpson, 1994).

    In an extraordinary book, “Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare,” Michael Hoffman writes, “looking into the subject of mind-control, one finds that the scope is wide and methods of used are sophisticated. Mind control traces its origins to religious institutional use by priesthoods. Techniques of mind control developed in our western culture were field tested by the Jesuits, certain Vatican groups, and various mystery religions, secret societies, and Masonic organizations. Methods tested during the Inquisition were refined by Dr. Josef Mengele during the reign of the Third Reich.

    Soon afterwards, a mind control project called “Marionette Programming,” imported from Nazi Germany was revived under the new name, “Project Monarch.” The basic component of the Monarch program is the sophisticated manipulation of the mind, using extreme trauma to induce Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD), now known as Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). In public testimony submitted to the President’s Committee on Radiation, there are amazing allegations of severe torture and inhumane programs foisted upon Americans and other citizens, especially as children.”

    As Peter Cuskie writes in “The Shaping of the Anglo-American SS by War,” “according to the OSS’s (Office of Strategic Services, for-runner of the CIA) Assessment Staff’s post war report “Assessment of Men,” it was Dr. John Rawlings Rees and his Tavistock crew at the British War Office Selection Board, who contacted the London office of the OSS to suggest that the special warfare organization adopt Tavistock’s selection and training methods. It was Rees who devised the OSS brainwashing “election” procedures and (German Jew, Kurt) Lewin helped refine them. It was also Rockefeller-sponsored Rees who devised an U.S. financier-promoted-insurgency-counter-insurgency project. The development of the CIA establishment has been essentially directed to a systematic infiltration of all principle existing institutions, an infiltration which is deliberate, preparatory deployment, aimed at the establishment of a “quasi-legal” fascist takeover with the help of some of the leading families of America.”

    E. Rockefeller, Allen Dulles, and the Nazis

    (ETK note: The following section is basically a skillful summation of information I presented in “Corrected History: Of (London) “Jew Money Kings,” Nazi cartels, the Protocols, “Zionazis,” American “robber barons” and traitors, and Illuminati Families,” which is on this website).

    Many of the future leaders of the CIA came from America’s ruling families, from a never-ending pool of bankers and industrialists, such as Du Pont, Vanderbilt, Bruce, Mellon, Archbold, Morgan, and Roosevelt. (ETK note: These are the Illuminati families described in Springmeier’s book, “Bloodlines of the Illuminati.”)

    …. The list of Rockefeller (family members) and supporters and representatives in key positions is a who-is-who amongst the “nation builders” of the XX century. Allen Dulles, former director of Rockefeller’s Standard Oil Corporation, was OSS chief of Secret Intelligence for Europe and later head of the CIA. Dulles, a prototypical Eastern Establishment figure, is a perfect example of the invisible confluence of fascist interests around the creation of the new imperial dominion controlled by Rockefeller through CIA-Tavistock corporate interests. For instance, Dulles was put in charge of the CIA’s Bluebird mind control project, which he changed to Artichoke because he was fond of the vegetable. Further, Allen and his brother John Foster were senior partners at Rockefeller’s Standard Oil’s chief law firm, Sullivan and Cromwell, a notorious CIA front with links to the most important financial houses on Wall Street.

    Sullivan and Cromwell’s “twin” was the German law firm of Albert and Westrick, which was simultaneously Hitler’s financial agent, an Abwehr spymaster in the United States and also Sullivan and Cromwell’s German representative. As a result, the Dulles law firm acquired three major German concerns as Standard Oil cartel partners. Among them was the murderous I.G. Farbenindustrie, which was, with the Kruppwerks, the principle user of concentration camp slave labor for the Nazis’ blitzkrieg economy (EIR, 1976).

    The Dulles family had long and extensive ties to the Nazi underground, and had been laundering Nazi money for decades. “Both played major political roles throughout the 1920’s and the 1930’s in the “Rearming of Germany by Night” policy, premised on using the Wehrmacht as a weapon against the Soviet Union and European working class” (EIR, 1976). Allen Dulles was in an intelligence position in Switzerland during the First World War, developing the contacts and the network he would use as the years went by he would be one of the key people working the Byzantine machinations of the post-war Operation Paperclip that formed the real structure of resurgent fascism, of what became known in the intelligence community simply as ‘Blowback’ (Simpson, 1988).

    While Allen was employed in Switzerland, his brother John Foster was working at the State Department in Washington. Their uncle, ultra-conservative Robert Lansing, was President Woodrow Wilson’s Secretary of State. The Dulles brothers actively courted Nazi officials in the 1930’s, as did the Rockefeller and Wall Street corporate interests, such as Ford Motor Company and IBM and helped them escape after the war, especially when Allen Dulles became CIA Director beginning in 1953. Dulles’ Chief of Counter Intelligence, James Jesus Angleton, later the CIA’s Vatican liaison, and Frank Wisner who oversaw the Gehlen Organization’s “Special Forces” in 1952-1953, would be involved with various secret off-the-books operations, amongst them Odessa, which helped relocate Nazis into Peron’s Argentina and Die Spinne of the Spider, a loose designation of the post-war remnants of the Nazi secret police and covert intelligence apparatus, whose U.S. point man was a Rockefeller Republican Party supporter, Harold Keith Thompson.

    If anyone still has any doubts about a close proximity of the Rockefeller clan to the Nazis, in 1945, President Truman fired Nelson Rockefeller for his role in engineering the creation of Peron’s fascist regime which provided “safe haven” for over 100,000 Nuremburg criminals delivered by Allen Dulles (via CIA Operation Paperclip) from Europe.

    In his national bestseller, “Blowback,” author Christopher Simpson wrote: “After World War II, Nazi émigrés were given CIA subsidies to build a far-right power base in the U.S. These Nazis assumed prominent positions in the Republican Party’s ethnic outreach committees.” These Nazis did not come to America as individuals but as part of organized groups with fascist political agendas. The Nazi agenda did not die along with Adolf Hitler. It moved to America (or a part of it did) and joined the far right of he Republican Party.”

    From Richard Helms, a future CIA director and Dulles liaison man to Wehrmacht intelligence chief General Reinhard Gehlen to CIA director William Colby, who received his training as the OSS Special Operations officer from the SOE in London, the list of interlocking Rockefeller-Nazi-Tavistock interests is endless. The Tavistock techniques of gang, counter-gang, sabotage and political assassinations Colby learned at SOE’s special training school were the very methods later used in directing the CIA’s Project Phoenix in South Vietnam which include the mass assassination atrocities at My Lai.

    As things settled down at the end of the World War II, the Rockefeller-CIA set about to expand its apparatus. In the process, they would try to permeate and dissolve the old order “to emerge as the hard core of a new imperial dominion.” The Tavistock- and the Reesian method- that the class war should be waged with “weapons that affect morale more than they take life” – has become, in the post-war period, the primary weapons system of the Rockefeller forces, including their own covert arm, the Central Intelligence Agency.

    … Shortly after the war, Rees gave a speech in New York to a group of military and civilian psychiatrists: “If we prepare to come out into the open and to attack the social and national problems of our day, then we must have the shock troops and these cannot be provided by psychiatry based wholly in institutions. We must have mobile teams of psychiatrists who are free to move around and make contacts with the local area.” The overall theme of all of Rees’ known work is the development of the use of psychiatry as a weapon of the ruling class. Rees’ 22-point program for the “application of military methods to civilian life,” presented in his lectures that constituted the book “The Shaping of Psychiatry by War,” became an Anglo-American SS Bible.

    With the abundance of proof, still most people would find it difficult to accept that the CIA is an adjunct of the Rockefeller-led organization that along with Tavistock Institute is working diligently to change the paradigm of modern society. If we are to believe the United States Federal statutes and other myths concocted for the credulous, the CIA is merely a key agency of the National Security Council, working with various intelligence agencies, the Defense Department, the Treasury and the FBI. The reality is quite different. The CIA apparatus has penetrated every key organization, including think tanks, universities, non-governmental organizations and Foundations. For example, most major universities are either entirely or substantially branches of the CIA…. Through control of governmental and major foundations, the CIA has been able to have a say “not only what programs are funded, but to control the selection of instructors who move into controlling positions” as honest academicians are weeded out and hounded into retirement.

    Then there is the case of CIA’s control of private foundations (including the Rockefeller Foundation, the Carnegie Foundation, etc.).

    F. The Fascist Concept of Man and Freudian Mass Brain Washing

    Investigative journalist, Lonnie Wolfe, succinctly tells the story: “The Nazi state was created by the same oligarchical financial and political interests who today control what we call the mass media and television. Forget about whatever stories you have seen on television about how Hitler came to power: His path to power was cleared by the same oligarchs who employ the brainwashers that program your television. Over a period of years, following the First World War, Germany was brutalized by the economic policy of this international (ETK: Jewish) elite. Hitler’s Nazis were funded and promoted as a political option, and then steered into power in 1932-1933.

    Once in power, the Nazis maintained their hold through the use of terror as part of mass brainwashing. In many ways it were proper to view the Nazi period as an experiment in methods of mass brainwashing and social control. At the root of the experiment was the desire to create a New World Order based on reversing a fundamental premise of western Christian civilization: that man is created as a higher and distinct species from animals, created in the image of the living God and by Divine grace, imparted the Divine Spark of reason.”

    … As much as it may surprise many, Nazi Germany was an experiment in Freudian mass psychology. What it means is that both Freud and the Nazis shared the belief system of man as a sinful beast who is allowed to exist under strictly imposed laws. Man is not made in the image of the living God, says Freud; man has made god in his image, for the purpose of easing the pain of his existence.

    In the late 1930’s, the Tavistock Institute developed a symbiotic relationship with the Frankfurt Institute for Social Research. Their collaboration led them to analyze the culture of a population from a neo-Freudian standpoint. Nazism just happened to be one of its patients on the psychiatric couch. In a nutshell, Hitler was the prototype of Jungian man, who surrendered his reason to his unconscious, and who welcomed divine madness as Jung himself advised. (Jung states:) “The impressive thing about the German phenomenon is that one man, who is obviously possessed, has infected the whole nation to such an extent that everything is set in motion and has started rolling on its course towards perdition.” Jung added that “Hitler’s power is not political, it is magic.”

    …Both Tavistock and the Frankfurt School paid close attention to Nazi propaganda techniques, which they willingly incorporated into their research. The aim of the project, as stated in (Theodore) Adorno’s “Introduction to the Sociology of Music,” was to “program a mass culture as a form of extensive social control that would steadily degrade its consumers.” The application of their research into human behavior was set to launch a decade later in a major irreversible Cultural Revolution in America….

    It is worth repeating here that the Nazi Party was not a political party, as we commonly understand it, but a cult. “Nazi appropriation of the occult was a weird farrago of astrology, Freemasonry, racism rooted in occultism and popular European folklore (the Cathars, the Holy Grail, the Knights Templar, the Arthurian legends). Sinister forces at work against humanity. In “Morning of the Magicians,” one of the most explosive books of the 1960s’, the authors identified these forces in paranormal terms, but always linking them back to the fascist fantasies of Hitler, Himmler, Rosenberg, Darre and Hess; blatant occult fantasies that became government policy and which led to World War II. That millions of innocent people died because of this twisted dream is the greatest tragedy of the XX century.

    …. And when it was all over, those who imposed this horror on the world attempted through mass media to blame their victims for the crimes committed. The Germans, whom the oligarchy through their Nazi tools, had tortured in mass brainwashing were told that they were collectively guilty for all that happened. As a result, the entire nation was put in the dock, and tried as criminals, rapists, and mass murderers. And while we were told that it must never happen again, the brainwashers at such places as Tavistock Institute were already secretly working behind the scenes on a new and more powerful brainwashing tool, television, to help them organize their fascist “superstate” without the now socially unacceptable Nazi superstructure.

    Now, how many people understand this? How many people realize that the majority’s perception of reality, especially in the political arena, is not their own. It is shrewdly manipulated and imposed on them by the Men behind the Curtain. Most certainly don’t and brainwashing has a lot to do with it.

    G. Social Turbulence

    As a point of interest, at Tavistock, Eric Trist and Frederick Emery developed a theory of “social turbulence,” a so-called “softening up effect of future shocks”- wherein a population could be softened up through mass phenomena such as energy shortages, economic and financial collapse, or terrorist attacks. “If the shocks were to come close enough to each other and if they were delivered with increasing intensity, then it was possible to drive the entire society into a state of mass psychosis,” claimed Trist and Emery. They also stated that “individuals would become disassociated, as they tried to flee from the terror or the shocking, emerging reality; people would withdraw into a state of denial, retreating into popular entertainments and diversions, while being prone to outbursts of rage.”

    …. Under the conditions of increasing social turbulence, people change their values, yielding to new degraded values, values that are less human and more animal-like….. The second scenario is segmentation of society into smaller parts. In this scenario, “it is every group, ethnic, racial, and sexual against the other.” Nations break apart into regional groups, those smaller areas in turn fissure into even smaller areas, along ethnic lines. Trist and Emery refer to it as “enhancement of in-group and out-group prejudices as people seek to simplify their choices. The natural lines of social divisions emerge to become barricades.”

    Society’s response to such a psychological and political disintegration is the Orwellian fascist state, modeled on his book “1984.” In the book, “Big Brother” regulates the lives and conflicts of people within a society; a never ending conflict “is waged by each ruling group against its own subjects, and the object of the war is not to make or prevent conquest of territory, but to keep the structure of society in tact” (Orwell, 1948).

    The third scenario is the most intense, involving withdrawal and retreat into private world and a withdrawal from social bonds that might entail being drawn into the affairs of others.” Almost there, aren’t we? Trist and Emery are convinced that men will be willing to accept “the perverse inhumanity of man that characterized Nazism.” Not necessarily the structure of the Nazi state, but the moral outlook of Nazi society.

    To survive in such a state, people will need to create a new religion. Wolfe states that “the old religious forms, especially western Christianity, demand that man be responsible for his fellow humans. The new religious forms, will be a form of mystical anarchism, a religious experience much likened to satanic practice of the Nazis or the views of Carl Jung.” This is the “New Age,” the “Age of Aquarius” preached by Tavistock and Frankfurt School with its eastern, mystical religious cults that had young, brainwashed converts flocking to embrace this degeneracy. Again, it is the television that provides the “social glue” that binds the minds of the population to their new religious forms.

    (ETK note: “Softening up,” “social turbulence”…… Hmmm. Operation 9/11, the Kennedy Assassination, innumerable acts of senseless terror and mass murder imposed on an unwary public by mad scientists and their super-rich backers. In the above paragraphs we can confirm the potentially profound relationship between “Operation 9/11,” the work of highly-placed, psychopathological psychologists, the occult “New World Religion,” and the Illuminati plan for implementing world government/”Jewish Utopia”/Satan’s kingdom on earth. The following paragraphs reveal further connections and, importantly, the methods being used by the elite to obtain the New World Order.)

    … From his experience as one of the initiates in the “Children of the Sun,” a dionysian cult comprised of the children of Britain’s Round Table elite, Aldous Huxley gained material to create his most famous novel, “Brave New World” published in 1931. “Brave New World” is a virtual blueprint of a true-life, future, one-world socialist government, or as his Fabian mentor, H.G. Wells, paraphrased the title for one of his own popular novels, “The New World Order” (1940). Previously, Wells authored another book, “The Open Conspiracy: Blue Prints for a World Revolution” (1928), which openly examines how this New World Order could be attained, ostensibly for world peace and human evolution.

    Remember, the goal of Wells, (Bertrand) Russell, Huxley and company is the destruction of the sovereign power of the nation-state, and with it the elimination of a philosophical, cultural, and religious tradition dating more than 2,500 years.

    It was H.G. Wells who introduced Huxley to Satanist Aleister Crowley. Crowley was a poster child of the occult that developed in Britain from the 1860s under the influence of Edward Bulwer-Lytton- the colonial minister under Lord Palmerston during the Second Opium War. In 1886, Crowley, William Butler Yeats, poet and Nobel Prize winner and several other Bulwer-Lytton protégés formed a satanic “Isis-Urania Temple of Hermetic Students of the Golden Dawn. This Isis Cult was organized around the 1877 manuscript “Isis Unveiled” by (Jew) Madame Helena Blavatsky, in which the Russian occultist called for the British aristocracy to organize itself into an Isis priesthood.

    Firstly, Isis is a drug cult. It is a cult of high priests and secret rituals. These secret rituals have been kept inside the British Royal Family and their ruling class friends, for centuries. The cult was practiced in Egypt during the Third Dynasty of the Old Kingdom circa 2780 BC. Isis worship is essentially pagan, primitive mother worship. The Isis priesthood is a closed circle and its nobility, practiced social control, total subjugation of man’s free will, exploitation and subjugation of people.

    … Drug counterculture was precisely the weapon that the Frankfurt School and their fellow-travellers employed, over the next 50 years, to create a cultural paradigm shift away from the so-called “authoritarian” matrix of man in the living image of God, and the superiority of the republican form of nation-state over all other forms of political organization. They transformed American culture toward an erotic, perverse matrix, associated with the present “politically correct” tyranny of tolerance for dehumanizing drug abuse, sexual perversion, and the glorification of violence. For the Marxist/Freudian (Jewish) revolutionaries of the (Jewish) Frankfurt School, the ultimate antidote to the hated Western Christian civilization was to tear that civilization down, from the inside, by turning out generations of necrophiliacs.

    … The (Frankfurt School’s) Authoritarian Personality project of the late 1940’s, was responsible for engineering the Baby Boomer drug/rock/sex counterculture of the 1960s…

    The undeclared cultural war against America’s youth began in earnest in 1967, when Tavistock began using open-air rock concerts to attract over four million young people to the so-called “festivals.” Unknowningly, the youth became the victims of planned, wide-scale drug experimentation. Hallucinogenic drugs such as dimethoxyphenylethylamine (STP), phencyclidine (PCP), dextromethorphan, methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA), dimethyltryptamine (DMT), and the Beatles-promoted LSD and Blue Micro Dot LSD-25 were freely distributed at these concerts. Before long, over 50 million of these attendees between the ages of 10 to 25 years old returned home to become the messengers and promoters of the new drug culture, or what came to be called the “New Age.”

    In “Brave New World,” Huxley centers on the scientific methodology for keeping all populations outside the elite minority in a permanently autistic-like condition actually in love with their servitude. Speaking at the California Medical School in San Francisco (in 1962), Huxley announced:

    “There will be in the next generation or so a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak. Producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies so that people will in fact, have their liberties taken away from them but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda, or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution.”

    To (H.G.) Wells’ way of thinking, this wasn’t a conspiracy, but rather a “one-world brain” functioning as “a police of the mind.”

    … Degeneration has played a large role in the paradigm shift of our society. What is this shift, again? Man is to be told that he is a beast, so that he might be controlled like one. The brainwashers of Tavistock adopted a bestial view that the human mind is simply a blank slate, which avoids pain and seeks pleasure. It was from this standpoint that the Tavistock Institute developed its peculiar techniques for creating mass psychology.

    (ETK note: The above passages indicate that Tavistock/Frankfurt School/CIA brainwashing/mind control operations are designed to reduce human beings to the status of beasts by degrading their culture and inciting mass trauma, terror, and psychosis. The majority of the key “spychiatrists” that developed these diabolical programs were/are Jews and/or high level Freemasons. It cannot be mere coincidence that the Jewish word for and perception of non-Jews is “goyim,” meaning “cattle” or “beast.”

    II. Transcription/Summary of “Unmasking the Spooks Spies and Spidery Connections of the Illuminati Global Intelligence Network;” www.powerofprophecy.com interview of Victor Thorn by Texe Marrs that documents the explosive post-9/11 growth of the (global) black intelligence state.

    Marrs: We’ll talk today about “unmasking the spooks, spies, and spidery connections of the Illuminati global intelligence network.” It’s not just here in America; all these intelligence agencies are working together Yes, the CIA works with every intelligence agency in the entire world, even including Iranian and North Korean intelligence agencies, according to an American ex-intelligence officer.

    America has now its troops in 120 (actually 160 out of about 190) nations, and apparently, its intelligence agencies are in each of these countries as well. We have space satellites spying on the entire earth that can actually read the fine print on golf balls. They are spying on us; they may have our phones and our houses wiretapped and our cars tapped and bugged.

    Now I’m not asking you to become paranoid. But I’ve always said this about that. Maybe the people who are called paranoid are just more aware of reality. We who study conspiracies are not “conspiracy theorists;” we are “conspiracy scientists.” We want to get to the bottom of things. And although people talk about growth of the “police state,” isn’t it really the growth of the “intelligence state?” Black intelligence? Black intel?

    And they want to know everything about our lives. They want access to our medical records. And now with Obama’s Medicare, they’ll have access to these records. They are setting up a data base. Everything about you they’ll know from their computers. I talk about this in my two books, “Project LUCID” (“Logical Universal Communications Interactive Data Bank”) and “Days of Hunger Days of Chaos.” Their own intelligence sources say that the goal is get everyone chipped with RFID chips. And they are watching your food supply. They know how to confiscate it.

    The IRS, FBI, and hundreds of other intelligence agencies that you may not have heard about are spying on us. There is now a World Food Agency (Authority) set up in Europe that is run by the United Nations. The head of that agency, says “food is power, we will use it as a weapon.” Sure, if they deny food to a person, after 3 or 4 days to a week they’ll tell them anything they want to know. That’s why the government has executive orders for marshal law already in place. They can close down every grocery store in America and give everybody a little ration card. But the question will be, when you get to the store, “have you got the chip, have you taken the mark?” If not, “we’re sorry, we can’t sell you the food, or the seeds, or fertilizer, or whatever in the coming New World.” If you hoard food, there’s an executive order saying you can’t. Hmm. Black intelligence.

    There was a great book, “Occult Theocracy,” published years ago by Lady Queensborough (Edith Starr). In it, she explains and proves that there is a global network of Masonic and other secret societies that work together. They provide intelligence to the Illuminati elite, who are the leaders in many countries of the world. Do you have Masonic lodges in your town and your city? Yes, you do. We know there are two million Scottish Rite Freemasons in America. And there are others types of Masons; the Oddfellows, Elks, etc. Fidel Castro is a member of the Freemasons and, like so many others, he is always giving Masonic hand signs when he gives speeches. These Masonic Lodges have intelligence agencies. Any Mason is welcome in any Masonic lodge in the world. So they can pass intelligence messages back and forth. There are no windows in Masonic lodges.

    I was commanding officer of the prime unit, called Mobile Communications, that did the cryptography for the U.S. Air Force as well as the CIA, DIA, and NSA. We encoded their messages. I found out a lot of things. I realized then that what we read in the newspapers is completely false. It is like a phony, parallel world. I was working in a unit in Northern Italy in a building as big as a Walmart that was full of computers. We knew any time any country exploded an atomic weapon or fired a missile. We could pinpoint the very moment it was detonated. So I’m very aware of these things.

    There’s all kinds of intelligence going on in the world. I’m aware that I’m being watched all the time. I know I don’t have any privacy because of the work that I do at power of prophecy for you, for America, and for God. I’d like to have some privacy but I’ve chosen my way of life, which is to unmask these things. So they are watching me. I’m not happy about this.

    The IRS and FBI have intelligence agencies. Now it is the “International FBI,” which has agents in Moscow, Paris, and elsewhere all over the world. And there are international police agencies and agents. Interpol.

    The Vatican has intelligence. And they share intelligence with the CIA, MI5, MI6, the French, the Russians, Masonic lodges, and other secret societies that also have spies. I mentioned the NRO (National Reconnaissance Organization) and NSA (National Security Agency). There are hundreds of intelligence agencies..

    Remember Henry Ford said the “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” are real…. That Jews intend to take over the world and execute the goyim, the gentiles who will not obey. “The Protocols” come out of the International Zionist Congress in 1897, where the top, richest Jews in the world met, such as Rothschild. I’m sure Lenin and Trotsky must have been there.

    The Protocols state their plan: “We shall create and multiply Freemasonic lodges in all the countries of the world. Absorb into them all who may become or who are prominent in public activity. For in these lodges we shall find our principal intelligence office and means of influence. Among the members of the lodges will be almost all the agents of international and national police.”

    You know, I’ve been across this country and I’m seeing Freemasonic symbols on police uniforms all over the country. An interesting book on Freemasonry exposed the fact that vast majority of the police in Great Britain are Freemasons. A few years later the author was found dead. They value their secrecy.

    The CIA works with all the other intelligence agencies, but especially with Britain’s MI6 and MI5 and Israel’s Mossad. The Mossad also has a secret service called Shin and other called Betar. Israel depends on the vast network of Israeli spies and civilian spies (“sayanim”) all around the world. Like Rahm Emanuel, who is undoubtedly a Mossad mole, a “mega agent,” right in the midst of the White House.

    Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, gave an interview in which he said that he’s proud to say he became a Mason when he was in the U.S. President Clinton is also Mason. When he went to Israel to attend the funeral of his Masonic brother, Ishtak Rabin, the Jerusalem Post had an add welcoming their Masonic brother, Bill Clinton, to Israel.

    Like most of the founding fathers, George Washington was a Mason. And when he died he was given a Masonic funeral. His tomb at Mount Vernon, his estate in Virginia, is an Egyptian tomb with two obelisks and the Queen’s entrance. Likewise, are the tombs of James Madison and others. But these things are hidden and unknown to most Americans.

    Today, the intelligence agencies are growing, growing, growing. A week ago, the Washington Post published the results of a two year investigation entitled “Top Secret America: A Washington Post Investigation.” (The Washington Post is basically run by the CIA, so I think they are bragging about this and want to frighten us into thinking they are some kind of Behemoth. But every once in a while they tell the truth.). Two reporters, Dana Priest and William Harken, report in this article:

    “The intelligence community is a hidden world growing beyond control. The top-secret world the government created in response to the terrorist attacks of September, 11, 2001…..:

    Stop right there: We already had an enormous intelligence system before 9/11, but 9/11 gave them the pretext to spend $100’s of billions more of our tax-payer dollars to create this huge, black intelligence monolith or “Behemoth”…. Read the Book of Job, it’s a prophetic book. It says “behold, now Behemoth.”

    Continuing the article: “This intelligence community has become so large, so unwieldy, and so secretive that no one knows how much money it costs, how many people it employs, how many programs exist within it or exactly how many agencies do the same work. There is an alternative geography of the United States, a top-secret America hidden from public view and lacking in thorough oversight. After nine years of unprecedented spending and growth (after 9/11) the result is that the system put in place to keep the United States safe is so massive that its effectiveness is impossible to determine.”

    Here are some of the results of the investigation. And this is just what has grown up since 9/11:

    “Some 1271 government organizations and 1,931 private companies work on programs related to counter-terrorism, Homeland Security, and intelligence in about 10,000 locations across the United States.”

    Marrs: So they are in your community and in your neighborhood probably. You don’t even know about them. If you ask them what they are doing in your community, they will lie to you about.

    Post article continues: “An estimated 854,000 people, nearly 1.5 times as many people as live in Washington, D.C. hold top secret security clearances.”

    Marrs: 854,000 people! And that’s not all the ones that work in intelligence, that’s just the ones that hold top-secret security clearances.

    Post article continues: “In Washington and the surrounding area, 33 building complexes for top secret intelligence work are under construction or have been built since September, 2001.”

    Marrs: Some years ago, I was invited by a Christian TV station in Washington, DC to talk about these kinds of things. This station, which was assigned the number 66 by the FCC, was the only Christian television station in Washington. I talked for about 4 hours. On my last night, I was told that the Christian owner of the station just got an offer from a Jewish billionaire who wants to buy the station. It was a huge sum of money and so the owner of the station sold it. I was maybe the last guest. One of these Jewish billionaires who owns one of these home shopping networks on TV bought the station and I guess it became part of his home shopping network. Not only that, on my last night, two CIA agents from Langley, VA walked in to hear the interview. They said: “We just wanted to meet you, Mr. Marrs.” This was to let me know that they were watching, ever watching.

    Did you know that the US now has it’s own U.S. Cyber-Command of the military and the intelligence agencies? It’s part of the NSA. The logo of this unit has a Satanic image on it. Likewise, with the logo of the NSA (National Security Agency) has a Satanic image on it. With the Executive Orders that have been passed, Obama can turn off the internet anytime he wants

    Let’s talk about how this black intelligence state all came about. There have been intelligence units all the way back to the Civil War, of course. Both the North and the South had spies. During World War II, we had the OSS (Office of Special Services) under “Wild Bill” Donovan. After WWII, in 1947, under President Truman, the National Security Act was passed. This created the National Security Council and the Central Intelligence Agency. It’s not part of our Constitution- so it’s probably unconstitutional, but they passed this law anyway. Since then all these other intelligence agencies have formed; the National Security Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the National Reconnaissance Organization (NRO), the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI). And then there are also all these private groups of mercenary spies. There are probably hundreds of groups like Blackwater working with the CIA. And the CIA now has its own its own Air Force. They have the predator drone aircraft. There was a big fight between the Air Force and the CIA to see who would get to control these drone spy aircraft. The CIA won. They can watch and track you with drones. And then there are the RFID (radio frequency identification cards), these smart cards, and later smart chips, that can go in your body. People are already taking these chips. And you can be tracked with these.

    Have you noticed how many traffic cameras there are out there now? Leave your house and go two miles to Walmart and you’ll probably pass 100 cameras. Everywhere, we are being watched. And now, every time you make a phone call, every time you use the computer, they are watching, possibly. If you use certain key words, they collect your message and store it on their (“Beast”) computers.

    (ETK note: This description of the enormous size and scope of the “World Black Intelligence State” certainly helps account for the many confusing reports concerning gangstalking/citizen spying that I describe in Appendix 9. “Gang Stalking:” Organized and Electronic Targeting the “Domestic Enemy.” Notes from Books, Youtube Presentations, and Blogs” on this website). Recall from that Appendix 9 that one in six civilians were recruited as citizen spies by the Stasi Police of East Germany during the Cold War. Recall also from this appendix that a New York Times article in 2003 reported that the Department of Homeland Security wants to enlist one in three Americans as citizen spies. The East German Stasi was the black intelligence agency that evolved from the Soviet secret police (Cheka) that, in turn, morphed into the modern German DVD and probably also the CIA, Mossad, etc. In the evolution of these agencies and their totalitarian methods, we can trace the imprint of the Jewish/Satanic Illuminati throughout.

    Hence, American citizens need to try to understand that the global black intelligence state now controls nearly all aspects of our society. Utilizing the long-established practice of “influence mapping,” spooks work behind the scenes to ensure that the proper individuals are in the right jobs and promote the proper “story-line” (propaganda). Much research indicates that the British/German/American intelligence agencies have refined the methods of Satanic Ritual Abuse by which total mind-control slaves can be “engineered” and subsequently controlled throughout their lives to fulfill specific functions for the elite. Traditionally, although these agencies are actually the primary source of “terrorist” operations, they blame their targets and enemies for the “terrorist operations” (such as 9/11) and refer to their own activities as “counter-terrorism” or counter-insurgency.” Utilizing the vast array of psychological and spying methods available to them in “gang stalking” operations (see Appendices 9 and 20), they are now targeting, “neutralizing,” and “eliminating” patriotic Americans and groups that oppose their one-world government/economy/religion system.

    Think of it. The international, inter-locking black intelligence agencies that covertly rule the world now have at their command: 1) virtually unlimited financial resources, 2) vast numbers of federal and private agencies and still greater numbers of citizen volunteers who are duped into believing they are helping the government combat terrorism, (when they are actually aiding the real terrorists), 3) the accumulated psychological warfare and mind control techniques and tools developed by all previous intelligence agencies (including that garnered from Nazi and CIA mind-control experiments/programs like “Marionette,” “Monarch,” MK-ULTRA, etc.), and 4) roving “shock troops” of “spychologists” and “spychiatirsts” who are covertly targeting patriotic citizens, and 5) extremely sophisticated and high-tech military technologies and capabilities, including directed energy weapons, of which the public is still unaware. Please see the website www.fightgangstalking.com and my Appendices 9 and 20 on this website in this regard. The image that emerges is that of nearly countless compartmentalized cadres of people controlled through a variety of hierarchical command structures. Individuals and groups within this black intelligence/police state system commonly assume false identities and create “cut-out” or “front companies” in order to entrap and deceive individuals and organizations that the CIA/NSA/Mossad/Illuminati plutocracy targets. As was documented by the Church Senate hearings in 1977, the these kinds of intelligence operations and operatives ALL violate the laws of the land. The Church Committee revealed that over 10,000 of these illegal operations were conducted by the CIA itself as of the mid 1970’s. Now, extrapolate this system into the present! Meanwhile, to protect themselves, these “spooks,” “spies,” “change agents,” “agents of influence,” “agent provocateurs,” “Law Enforcement Intelligence Units” (LEIUs), “citizen spies,” “domestic spies,” “perpetrators,” “vigilante volunteers,” “intelligence security contrators,” “sayanim” of Israel, Mossad, CIA, FBI Cointel-Pro (counterintelligence program), etc., operating under innumerable false identities and covers/fronts/cut-out organizations, always try to maintain plausible deniability, etc.

    What does this portend for America and the world? It portends implementation of a fascist global totalitarian police state wherein individuals are mere slaves and serfs in a new feudal One World Government run by the (Jewish) plutocracy. The so-called Jewish Utopia would certainly mean death, slavery, and/or living hell for all non-Jews. We are now well advanced toward the realization of this age-old utopian dream of the Jewish/Masonic/Satanic hierarchy, which appears to be led by Satan himself.

    It is demonstrated on this website and elsewhere that the Mujahideen, Northern Alliance, Taliban, Al Qaeda, Isis and innumerable other so-called “terrorist” groups are all creations of and controlled by the CIA, the Israeli Mossad, etc.

    When are Americans going to wake up and realize that when the U.S. Congress passed the National Security Act in 1947 that created the CIA and NSC that Congress, in effect, created a private army for international banking cartels and syndicates run by the Illuminati Sanhedrin and the Rothschild, Rockefeller, Morgan families, among others. In other words, these intelligence agencies have always worked for the global financial elite and against the interests of the American citizenry, whom they regard as “goyim,” cattle, slaves, and beasts.

    Today, this “Big Brother on steroids” “intelligence state” not only spies on citizens all over the world, it also interferes on a vast scale in all aspects of our lives. Indeed, it may now be “culling the herd,” using geoengineering/chemtrails/HAARP/weather warfare and other covert means. But to the insect operatives/slaves/operatives of the Satanic “hive mind,” it appears that this is all just a game. And so we have “game theory,” video games,” “war games,” “Mind War,” “blood games,” “hunger games.” As I recall, immediately after 9/11, an intelligence operative was quoted as saying: “Let the games begin.” Can you spell and pronounce “pscyhopath?” When will Americans wake up and extirpate this lethal parasite that thrives by drinking our blood and that of our children?)

    Interview with Victor Thorn, author of “Front Man, the Dark Plot of Obama”

    And now we are going to talk to my good friend, Victor Thorn, author of “Front Man, the Dark Plot of Obama.” I want to ask Victor Thorn if Obama is part of this shadowy, worldwide intelligence network. And not just as President. But was it the CIA that helped to groom and mentor him? Was he working with the CIA? Thorn says that Clinton also worked with the CIA. George H.W. Bush, of course, was Director of the CIA and was a CIA agent before he ever became a Congressman. Now George W. Bush was just a clone, a puppet, and an idiot so they didn’t really want him in the intelligence field. But I guess because he was part of the Bush Dynasty they made him president.

    Now what I want you to understand, dear friends, is that this network is absolutely gigantic. It covers the IRS, the FBI, the Vatican, Masonic Lodges, the OTO (Ordo Templi Orientis) and probably other secret societies as well, the Israeli Mossad, the Israeli Shin, the Israeli Betar, all working together. This is the shadowy network that is everywhere, in 10,000 locations just since 9/11(!). And just think of all the billions of dollars that were spent on this spying apparatus before 9/11! Now they are joining hand in hand to watch us, to track us, and maybe to some day to take us away to gulags, to concentration camps.

    But my friends, this comes from the Bible (Proverbs 11:21): “Though hand joined in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished.” (laughs) I love that. God knows what’s going on. He knows even the very hearts of these evil men.

    Now our guest, Victor Thorn, is one of the best investigators in the world. He’s written a number of books on the Clintons, on their drug dealings. And it looks like “Big Sister” Hillary Clinton might run for President again. Also, I have a video called “Rothschild’s Choice” about Obama and the hidden cabal that is out to murder America. Thorn’s new book is a smash. It really digs in to what’s going on. It’s called “Front Man: The Dark Plot of Obama.” Here, you’ll learn about the Bilderbergers, the Council on Foreign Relations, about Obama’s connection to the communist terrorist underground, and about his connections to Israel and the Mossad.

    Victor Thorn, welcome to Power of Prophecy! Today’s program is about the “Intelligence State.” A lot of people worry about the Police State. But really, it’s the Intelligence State, I think, that wraps up the Police State and everything within it. Going back to the days of Senator Frank Church’s Committee (in 1977), we’ve known of the misdeeds and foul doings of the CIA. And we know that President Kennedy once threatened to splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces. But we also know that they did him in because he was one of their mortal foes. So here’s what I’d like you to talk about. You have investigated both the Clinton and Obama Adminstrations. Tell us, are there CIA intelligence ties to the Clinton and Obama administrations and how does this fit in to the American breakdown that is occurring in front of our eyes today?

    Thorn: Thank you. The best way to start is to ask the question that everyone was asking when Obama first came on the scene. And that is: Who is this guy and where did he come from? But unfortunately, except for your video and my book, nearly every other source does not dig deep enough to find the answers. So we need to ask about his ties to Israel and the Mossad and Zionism and also the intel agency.

    Last April, I did an interview with (radio hostess) Deanna Spingola and she said that: “The CIA had their eyes on Barack Obama from “day one.”” There’s a good chance he’s been a CIA product since inception. Inception is a key word because it could also mean conception. Could they have had their eyes on him even before he was born? That’s a mind-boggling thought. But if you look at his mother…. And all this is chronicled in my book, “Front Man.”

    His (Jewish- ETK) mother was a CIA cut-out who was recruited by various intel agencies in the late 1950’s. And the purpose was to infiltrate the Black Nationalists and the civil rights organizations that were forming at that time, such as the Nation of Islam, or Malcolm X, the Black Panthers, or even Martin Luther King. The “Powers that Be” had a lot of concerns about these.

    In the back of my book there is perhaps the most important chapter in the book, entitled: “Who is Barack Obama’s Real Father?” And I come up with a man named Frank Marshall Davis, who was a member and founder of Chicago’s Communist Party, USA. He had to flee to Hawaii after the heat got too heavy in the United States. And I allege in this book that Frank Marshall Davis is actually Barack Obama’s father. Davis acted as a mentor. And when you look at his mother at this time in Hawaii. Supposedly, she was some poor, single, divorced woman. But actually, during Barack Obama’s formative years, she travelled to 13 countries and worked for two companies that were famous for providing cover for the CIA (called “cut-out” companies). One of her employees at the Ford Foundation was Peter Geithner (the father of Tim Geithner, the Treasury Secretary of the United States). So here was Barack Obama’s mother working for Tim Geithner’s father at the Ford Foundation.

    Marrs: Wow, what a web we weave, right?

    Thorn: Yes, so we see these little incestuous circles starting to be formed. If we go forward a little bit… I also interviewed a black man named Pastor James David Manning and he says that Obama was recruited into the CIA during his time at Occidental College in California. The big question is why would the CIA want to recruit this guy who supposedly, was just some kid from a broken home…. (Very similar to Bill Clinton). In 1979, the most pivotal event going on was the Soviet-Afghanistan war, and the CIA admittedly had very few inroads into the Arab world at that time. So they wanted someone who had some familiarity with this (Arab) world. So here we have a kid who spent a lot of time during his youth in Indonesia. Some people say he was actually a Moslem and he definitely understood the Islamic culture. So they wanted him to provide his assistance to the Mujahideen as a CIA logistics agent. So to get him out of Occidental College, they needed some cover because had spent two years there and people knew him at Occidental College. He couldn’t just disappear. So they very conveniently transferred him to Columbia University where no one knew him.

    The next big question is: Who was a professor at Columbia then that might have taken him under his wing? The answer is Zbigniew Brzezinski, who was not only an expert on Russia, he was also associated with the CIA since the 1950’s, he was co-founder of the Trilateral Commission with David Rockefeller, he was Jimmy Carter’s National Security Advisor. And he wrote one of the most pivotal books at that time, called “The Grand Chessboard” which was really a blueprint for our later (2001- present) Afghani war. So, Zbigniew Brzezinski recruits Obama. And in 1981 and 1982, Obama travels between Pakistan and Russia. Now what is really interesting is that in his biographies, which more than likely were ghost- written by William Ayres, the terrorist from the Weather Underground, he says that when he arrived in New York City from Occidental College that he was so poor that he didn’t have enough money to even get a room. Yet, here he is traveling from the U.S. to Pakistan to Russia. It is also quite interesting that Bill Clinton, during his college days, also traveled, under the auspices of the CIA, to Russia also.

    Radio hostess, Deanna Spingola, during this interview, says that Obama was the lead agent in the arms and money and drug supply chain for the CIA-trained Taliban army in the war against the Soviets. And she says that Obama was one of the integral members in the Taliban’s success. And if we remember, this war of Russia against Afghanistan (that was orchestrated by Bzrezinski when he was National Security Adviser for President Jimmy Carter) became Russia’s Vietnam and eventually led to the downfall of the Soviet Empire. So America had a lot invested in ensuring that the Mujahideen defeated the Russian army.

    (ETK note: Indeed, the CIA had invested billions of dollars in this operation, which was the largest and most costly CIA operation up until that time…. Later to be superseded by “Operation 9/11,” I’m sure.)

    Now if we go up to the 2008 presidential campaign, Obama, for the first time in his life, actually admitted that he had gone to Pakistan in 1981. And yet in his two autobiographies, he never mentioned that he had gone to Pakistan. So here is a 20-year old kid traveling to Pakistan and to Russia who never mentions this in his autobiographies. So you have to wonder what is going on.

    Marrs: Supposedly, he went to Columbia University. And I’ve long heard that Columbia is heavily linked with the CIA and carries on many different projects with them. And their school of journalism is the nation’s number one source for CIA-paid journalists who go on to work at CNN, Washington Post, New York Times, etc. Obama also evidently worked as a consultant for a company called Business International, which you report is also a CIA proprietary company. But he was just a young man. What would he be doing as a consultant? We don’t really know what he did there, right?

    Thorn: Yes, the name of the company was Business International Corporation, it’s a CIA cut-out. And again, Texe, in his autobiographies, Obama does not mention this as his first real job. Anybody’s first job is big deal in their lives. Why doesn’t he mention it? Because it’s a CIA company and he didn’t want anyone trailing this.

    So going back to the story…. In 1981, when he traveled to Pakistan, Pakistan was in severe turmoil, so badly that they actually imposed marshal law. And there was a ban on people traveling from the U.S. to Pakistan. And we know that Obama was in New York City supposedly attending Columbia University at that time. Yet he was able to travel to Pakistan and by-pass this travel ban. How did he do it? He didn’t have a U.S. passport. He had and used an Indonesian passport. So this all goes back to his birth status. Where was he actually born? Why doesn’t he have a U.S. passport? Instead, he has an Indonesian passport.

    Marrs: So this is the reason that Obama and his handlers are desperate to keep this mysterious past bottled up, including where he was born and his mysteriously missing birth certificate.

    Now, Rahm Emanuel comes into this, and you cover this in your book. You say he was tied in with “Mega,” he was working with the Clinton Administration and he works now with Obama. How close does (the Israeli) Mossad work with the CIA? And is Obama really as much a Mossad agent then as a CIA agent?

    Thorn: Well, I believe that the Mossad and the CIA are like a hand in a glove. You and I are on the same page on this. At the American Free Press conference you and I recently attended, you were quoting people who claimed that Obama is America’s first Jewish president.

    A lot of researchers claim that the mysterious “mega,” this Mossad spy within the Clinton White House, was actually Rahm Emanuel. And I wrote an article a few weeks ago for American Free Press that claims that Rahm Emanuel may be the mole within the Obama Administration also. In other words, Israel needs someone very close to the President to keep an eye on him. And not only does Rahm Emanuel bolster Barack Obama, he also has the ability to chop him off at his knees. And in this article I give quite a bit of evidence for this. So if they ever need to pull a Richard Nixon on Obama, Rahm Emanuel is in the perfect position to do just that. You know how they say: “keep your friends close and your enemies closer?” Well, with a friend like that, or enemy like that, whatever the case may be, I think Barack Obama should be looking over his shoulder all the time because this (Emmanuel) isn’t a guy to be trusted whatsoever.

    Marrs: But as long as Obama (toes the line), and all his life he’s been mentored, trained and groomed for this job, there is probably no reason for him to jump ship and be independent of his Mossad/CIA handlers, is there? His job has rewarded him and his family so far. So it seems like they may be watching over him so there are no missteps and he doesn’t try to pull a JFK. But it seems like he’s not going to do that and he is playing according to their script, isn’t he?

    Thorn: Yes, I go by people’s actions. And this guy… every opportunity he has, you know, he met with Netanyahu last week, and he was completely fawning over this guy. Barack Obama is the “emptiest suit” of any President we’ve ever had, even more so than George W. Bush. I mean he’s done nothing in his life. His highest real job was as a community organizer. I know he was in the Senate, but these are jobs that were set up for him, and they paved the way for him. So he’s a complete question mark. When you look at his past, when he travels to Pakistan, he’s meeting with the Prime Minister of Pakistan, with the leader of the Northern Command, with ex-Soviet war veterans, with the people from the Mujahideen. So we have to ask ourselves, Texe, how is a 20-year old kid, a college student, meeting with some of the most important people in this war at this time? And he actually stayed with a man named Mohamadian Sumra, who was the interim Prime Minister of Pakistan, who is also tied in with BCCI, which is probably the biggest, dirtiest (CIA) banking scandal of all time. So how is this college kid, with no money, no resources, meeting with the highest people in Pakistan, in Afghanistan, and even Russians? It doesn’t make sense unless you look at him as a CIA asset. That’s the only thing that makes sense.

    Marrs: We know that George Herbert Walker Bush, the first Bush president, was not only the head of the CIA (in 1976), but he was also was working in the CIA at a lower level in Dallas, Texas at the time of the JFK assassination and was implicated in the plot to kill JFK.

    Thorn: Yes, there is a lot of evidence for that and good videotapes out there on that subject.

    And one of the other things we have to look at. In the period between 1981 and 1983, people may say that Barack Obama was at Columbia University. But the truth of the matter is that there is absolutely no evidence that Barack Obama was ever at Columbia University. There’s no transcript, no yearbook accounts, no work records, no housing records, no friends, no associates. A guy named Wayne Allen Wrote, who ran as a vice presidential candidate of the Libertarian Party, was in the same graduating class and major (Political Science) as Barack Obama at Columbia University. He interviewed 400 people in his graduating class and he couldn’t find a single person that knew Obama, saw him, or remembered him there at Columbia University. So not only have all of his college records at Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard been sealed and not released. His birth certificate records are also sealed and haven’t been released. So what we have here with this guy is a huge question mark. If he wasn’t at Columbia for those three years, where was he?

    Marrs: A horrible thing, a Manchurian-type candidate. So it’s all just a fake resume reference, isn’t it? Victor Thorn, please keep up the good work. God bless you my friend.

    Concluding Comments by ETK

    I have read many articles available on the internet that present evidence that Barack Obama’s mother was a Jewish CIA asset and that the CIA has controlled Barack Obama’s entire life. In view of evidence presented in Thorn’s book, these articles, and information presented in my “Chapter 6: Mind Control: History and Applications” (on this website) it seems likely that Obama may be a victim of the CIA MKULTRA and Monarch (aka “Marionette”) programs. In other words, he could be a mind-controlled slave. If so, he would probably have had the job of “courier” during these early years. Various books about Monarch slaves written by recovering victims, such as O’Brien and Phillips’ “Trance Formation of America,” indicate that these slaves have radically increased abilities to memorize, store, and deliver messages from political leaders, etc. (This way nothing is ever committed to writing). In this scenario, Obama proved his usefulness to the “crptocracy” (rule by secrecy) in his youth and has continued to be the (empty) mouthpiece of his CIA/Mossad handlers subsequently. There is an implication here that President Clinton might have also functioned in the same way, as a courier and mouthpiece for the “cryptocracy.”

    If so, how terribly, terribly, terribly monstrous and sad. I am reminded of the words spoken by the intelligence officer (played by Frank Sinatra) at the conclusion of the 1962 movie, “The Manchurian Candidate,” when he finally understands the true nature of his profession and his government: “Hell, hell.”)

    Add it up, dear reader. I’m afraid it does add up…. And the picture that emerges here is of a world-wide hierarchical network that employs diabolical methods (Satanic Ritual Abuse/mind control) to control its own “soldiers.” Cathy O’Brien and Mark Phillips, book, “Trance Formation of America” as well as other books by survivors of government mind-control programs describes the dimensions of this shadowy, hidden world that is based on torture, terror and deception. Falling back on the Christian worldview, which seems increasingly appropriate to describe the world system now in power, it seems that Satan, “the God of this world” and his legions are “black magicians.” The only possible way they can defeat God and bring the souls of men and women to hell with him, again, is by employing magic, via deception, torture, and terror, to concoct a “false reality matrix.” If we shine the light of truth upon the matrix and the diabolical inventors of these evil things and the Satanic superstructure will crumble. Meanwhile, this diabolical system is capturing millions of souls for perdition. Hence, we truth tellers must continue to try to expose and oppose these legions of the duped and the damned.

    CIA FILES : The CIA, James Holmes, MKULTRA, and Truth-Serum Torture

    image001 18

    By Jon Rappoport

    March 18, 2013

    www.nomorefakenews.com

    In 2002, author Martin Lee wrote an article for Common Dreams: “Truth Serum and Torture.”

    It could have been written yesterday, because now a Colorado judge has stated that, if James Holmes pleads not guilty by reason of insanity to the Aurora murders, state psychiatrists can subject him to drugs that will “help him remember his state of mind” at the time of the shootings. The drugging will reveal whether he really was insane that night last summer at the Aurora theater.

    Well, when it comes to so-called truth drugs like sodium pentothal, sodium amatyl, scopolamine, mescaline, LSD, and hypnotic benzodiazepines, where are the pros with real experience?

    At run-of-the-mill psychiatric wards? No. Those hacks in the Colorado state hospital system have rarely if ever tried out the drugs for the purpose of getting at the truth.

    But the CIA has up-to-date interrogators around, and thousands of pages of MKULTRA (mind control) literature, that constitute the best experience in this dark art.

    Therefore, it’s highly probable the CIA or their independent contractors will be sitting in on James Holmes’ drug-induced sessions, supervising them, giving advice. It’s the Ghostbusters motto: “Who ya gonna call?”

    Martin Lee points out that, even before the CIA was created, its forerunner, the OSS, tried out a cannabis extract as a truth serum. This was back in the 1940s. Lee goes on to trace US intelligence-agency and military “leadership” in truth-drug testing.

    In 1947, the US Navy Project Chatter, borrowing from Nazi studies, moved on to experiments with mescaline as a truth drug.

    Shortly after its inception, in the late 1940s, the CIA used drugging with sedatives, plus hypnosis, to extract secrets from agents. This method, and barbiturates alternated with amphetamines, were soon rolled up into the infamous and overarching MKULTRA mind-control program, with its hundreds of sub-projects. MKULTRA was all about developing chemical means of eliciting truth from prisoners, along with creating unconscious assassins.

    In the 1950s, the CIA employed LSD in Operation Artichoke. People don’t know or forget that, while LSD failed to qualify as a reliable truth serum, its use in very high doses produced extreme terror in people being interrogated. It was this effect, as straight-out torture, the CIA capitalized on. The idea was simple. Demand the truth and threaten with extreme-dose LSD as the alternative.

    We shouldn’t discount the possibility that James Holmes, once he enters an insanity plea, and is sent away to a secure hospital for psychiatric eval, will be given drugs that produce the kind of mad panic that will convince him to say, in court, exactly what his handlers want him to say.

    Back in 2002, Martin Lee wrote that William Webster, former head of the CIA and FBI, was recommending the use of truth drugs on terrorism suspects under US detention. This statement spurred a significant amount of media coverage at the time.

    But in the ensuing years, very few people have bothered to ask the key question: Why should we assume that waterboarding and isolation tanks and sleep deprivation are the only torture methods the CIA/military are employing on these prisoners? What about the drugs?

    In particular—because no drug has ever been found to reliably elicit the truth—what about the use of drugs to produce panic and wild terror, as a way to force people to tell what they know, or confess to what they’re told to.

    It’s obvious, given the history, that US interrogators have, in fact, been using these drugs on detained terrorism suspects.

    Lee ends his prescient article with a chilling quote from former CIA chief of counterterrorism, Vince Cannistraro, that reflects directly the James Holmes situation in 2013:

    “Once you’ve used [truth drugs] for national security cases, then it becomes a standard. Sodium pentathol is not that effective, and so you have to use something stronger, It’s a short skip and a hop to LSD, or something worse.”

    These drugs are certainly being used in national security cases. Therefore, as Cannistraro predicts, they are now entering the mainstream as the standard. The astonishing statement from the court judge in the James Holmes case, ordering his truth-drug interrogation, couldn’t be a clearer signal:

    full-speed ahead in chemically inducing a suspect to give up his right not to incriminate himself;

    forget the fact that such truth-drug interrogations are notoriously unreliable;

    forget the damage suspects can incur from the effects of the drugs;

    and most of all, forget the fact that, although truth drugs don’t work reliably, they can be used to create such terror that the suspect will do or say anything to escape more dosing.

    Many people have observed that James Holmes already looks like a man who has been heavily drugged, while in custody.

    Whatever Holmes knows about what happened last summer at the Aurora theater; whatever he doesn’t know; whatever role he played or didn’t play; whether he was in the theater doing the shooting or was the patsy set up by professionals to take the fall for the murders…

    All of this can be twisted, on strong enough drugs, to cause him to say anything his handlers want him to say in court.

    The psychiatrists who are working on Holmes will need advice on methods. They’ll go to, or be approached by, the people who have the track record, the history, the experience: the CIA.

    And once that move is made, it will be very much like saying the Holmes case has national-security implications.

    In so far as the Aurora murders have been used to try to snuff out the 2nd Amendment, the case is definitely the gun-grabbers’ version of national security. They want no mistakes in Holmes’ performance.

    They want him to enter a plea of non-guilty by reason of insanity. Then they want him, after his stay in a mental hospital for “testing and observation,” to come back to court, and state that is now aware he killed and wounded many people. Then the State will dispose of him one way or another and he will never again see the light of day.

    One of the two bonuses in THE MATRIX REVEALED is my complete 18-lesson course, LOGIC AND ANALYSIS. This is a new way to teach logic, the subject that has been missing from schools for decades.

    Naïve people place false barriers between the practice of psychiatry, institutional confinement, coerced admissions of guilt, torture, brain-twisting drugs, and the CIA’s MKULTRA. They swim together in the same stream far more often than Americans want to admit, or want to know about.

    This horrendous stream flows through the James Holmes case.

    Other than using drugs to force him to follow orders, what possible value can this “narcoanalytic review” have in a court of law? Think about it. If Holmes enters an insanity plea, thus triggering the ensuing truth-drug interrogation, he’ll already be stating he is crazy. So the drugs will be administered to a crazy man, on the premise that can he recall correctly, or reveal correctly, his state of mind at the time he committed murders.

    Is there any defense lawyer in the country who couldn’t cast doubt on the reliability of such evidence?

    No, the Holmes case is now being used to put straight-out drug-torture of defendants, in order to gain confessions, into the mainstream of American legal practice.

    There is one more long-shot factor here. It’s nearly unthinkable, but it should be mentioned. Many people have found evidence that the Aurora murders were staged. Without recounting the details, suppose there is one more piece of stagework left: the truth drugs used on Holmes are shown to have created brain damage.

    If Holmes’ lawyers claim that the prosecution irreparably destroyed their client, they can move for a mistrial.

    Can you imagine the uproar, chaos, and destabilization that would result from a declaration of a mistrial, a no-verdict in the case, and Holmes walking out of prison? Or his remand to a psychiatric facility as a permanently damaged person—but without a guilty verdict?

    Introduction

    As the 9th anniversary of 9/11 nears, and the war on terror continues to be waged and grows in ferocity and geography, it seems all the more imperative to return to the events of that fateful September morning and re-examine the reasons for war and the nature of the stated culprit, Al-Qaeda.

    The events of 9/11 pervade the American and indeed the world imagination as an historical myth. The events of that day and those leading up to it remain largely unknown and little understood by the general public, apart from the disturbing images repeated ad nauseam in the media. The facts and troubled truths of that day are lost in the folklore of the 9/11 myth: that the largest attack carried out on American ground was orchestrated by 19 Muslims armed with box cutters and urged on by religious fundamentalism, all under the direction of Osama bin Laden, the leader of a global terrorist network called al-Qaeda, based out of a cave in Afghanistan.

    The myth sweeps aside the facts and complex nature of terror, al-Qaeda, the American empire and literally defies the laws of physics. As John F. Kennedy once said, “The greatest enemy of the truth is not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth – persistent, pervasive, and unrealistic.”

    This three-part series on “The Imperial Anatomy of Al-Qaeda” examines the geopolitical historical origins and nature of what we today know as al-Qaeda, which is in fact an Anglo-American intelligence network of terrorist assets used to advance American and NATO imperial objectives in various regions around the world.

    Part 1 examines the origins of the intelligence network known as the Safari Club, which financed and organized an international conglomerate of terrorists, the CIA’s role in the global drug trade, the emergence of the Taliban and the origins of al-Qaeda.

    The Safari Club

    Following Nixon’s resignation as President, Gerald Ford became the new US President in 1974. Henry Kissinger remained as Secretary of State and Ford brought into his administration two names that would come to play important roles in the future of the American Empire: Donald Rumsfeld as Ford’s Chief of Staff, and Dick Cheney, as Deputy Assistant to the President. The Vice President was Nelson Rockefeller, David Rockefeller’s brother. When Donald Rumsfeld was promoted to Secretary of Defense, Dick Cheney was promoted to Chief of Staff. Ford had also appointed a man named George H.W. Bush as CIA Director.

    In 1976, a coalition of intelligence agencies was formed, which was called the Safari Club. This marked the discreet and highly covert coordination among various intelligence agencies, which would last for decades. It formed at a time when the CIA was embroiled in domestic scrutiny over the Watergate scandal and a Congressional investigation into covert CIA activities, forcing the CIA to become more covert in its activities.

    In 2002, the Saudi intelligence chief, Prince Turki bin Faisal gave a speech in which he stated that in response to the CIA’s need for more discretion, “a group of countries got together in the hope of fighting Communism and established what was called the Safari Club. The Safari Club included France, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, and Iran [under the Shah].”[1] However, “The Safari Club needed a network of banks to finance its intelligence operations. With the official blessing of George H.W. Bush as the head of the CIA,” Saudi intelligence chief, Kamal Adham, “transformed a small Pakistani merchant bank, the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI), into a world-wide money-laundering machine, buying banks around the world to create the biggest clandestine money network in history.”[2]

    As CIA director, George H.W. Bush “cemented strong relations with the intelligence services of both Saudi Arabia and the shah of Iran. He worked closely with Kamal Adham, the head of Saudi intelligence, brother-in-law of King Faisal and an early BCCI insider.” Adham had previously acted as a “channel between [Henry] Kissinger and [Egyptian President] Anwar Sadat” in 1972. In 1976, Iran, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia formed the Safari Club “to conduct through their own intelligence agencies operations that were now difficult for the CIA,” which was largely organized by the head of French intelligence, Alexandre de Marenches.[3]

    The “Arc of Crisis” and the Iranian Revolution

    When Jimmy Carter became President in 1977, he appointed over two-dozen members of the Trilateral Commission to his administration, which was an international think tank formed by Zbigniew Brzezinski and David Rockefeller in 1973. Brzezinski had invited Carter to join the Trilateral Commission, and when Carter became President, Brzezinski became National Security Adviser; Cyrus Vance, also a member of the Commission, became Secretary of State; and Samuel Huntington, another Commission member, became Coordinator of National Security and Deputy to Brzezinski. Author and researcher Peter Dale Scott deserves much credit for his comprehensive analysis of the events leading up to and during the Iranian Revolution in his book, “The Road to 9/11”,* which provides much of the information below.

    Samuel Huntington and Zbigniew Brzezinski were to determine the US policy position in the Cold War, and the US-Soviet policy they created was termed, “Cooperation and Competition,” in which Brzezinski would press for “Cooperation” when talking to the press, yet, privately push for “competition.” So, while Secretary of State Cyrus Vance was pursuing détente with the Soviet Union, Brzezinski was pushing for American supremacy over the Soviet Union. Brzezinski and Vance would come to disagree on almost every issue.[4]

    In 1978, Zbigniew Brzezinski gave a speech in which he stated, “An arc of crisis stretches along the shores of the Indian Ocean, with fragile social and political structures in a region of vital importance to us threatened with fragmentation. The resulting political chaos could well be filled by elements hostile to our values and sympathetic to our adversaries.” The Arc of Crisis stretched from Indochina to southern Africa, although, more specifically, the particular area of focus was “the nations that stretch across the southern flank of the Soviet Union from the Indian subcontinent to Turkey, and southward through the Arabian Peninsula to the Horn of Africa.” Further, the “center of gravity of this arc is Iran, the world’s fourth largest oil producer and for more than two decades a citadel of U.S. military and economic strength in the Middle East. Now it appears that the 37-year reign of Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi is almost over, ended by months of rising civil unrest and revolution.”[5]

    With rising discontent in the region, “There was this idea that the Islamic forces could be used against the Soviet Union. The theory was, there was an arc of crisis, and so an arc of Islam could be mobilized to contain the Soviets. It was a Brzezinski concept.”[6] A month prior to Brzezinski’s speech, in November of 1978, “President Carter named the Bilderberg group’s George Ball, another member of the Trilateral Commission, to head a special White House Iran task force under the National Security Council’s Brzezinski.” Further, “Ball recommended that Washington drop support for the Shah of Iran and support the fundamentalist Islamic opposition of Ayatollah Khomeini.”[7] George Ball’s visit to Iran was a secret mission.[8]

    Throughout 1978, the Shah was under the impression that “the Carter administration was plotting to topple his regime.” In 1978, the Queen and Shah’s wife, told Manouchehr Ganji, a minister in the Shah’s government, that, “I wanted to tell you that the Americans are maneuvering to bring down the Shah,” and she continued saying that she believed “they even want to topple the regime.”[9] The US Ambassador to Iran, William Sullivan, thought that the revolution would succeed, and told this to Ramsey Clark, former US Attorney General under the Johnson administration, as well as professor Richard Falk, when they were visiting Sullivan in Iran in 1978. Clark and Falk then went from Iran to Paris, to visit Khomeini, who was there in exile. James Bill, a Carter adviser, felt that, “a religious movement brought about with the United States’ assistance would be a natural friend of the United States.”[10]

    Also interesting is the fact that the British BBC broadcast pro-Khomeini Persian-language programs daily in Iran, as a subtle form of propaganda, which “gave credibility to the perception of United States and British support of Khomeini.”[11] The BBC refused to give the Shah a platform to respond, and “[r]epeated personal appeals from the Shah to the BBC yielded no result.”[12]

    In the May 1979 meeting of the Bilderberg Group, Bernard Lewis, a British historian of great influence (hence, the Bilderberg membership), presented a British-American strategy which, “endorsed the radical Muslim Brotherhood movement behind Khomeini, in order to promote balkanization of the entire Muslim Near East along tribal and religious lines. Lewis argued that the West should encourage autonomous groups such as the Kurds, Armenians, Lebanese Maronites, Ethiopian Copts, Azerbaijani Turks, and so forth. The chaos would spread in what he termed an ‘Arc of Crisis,’ which would spill over into the Muslim regions of the Soviet Union.”[13] Further, it would prevent Soviet influence from entering the Middle East, as the Soviet Union was viewed as an empire of atheism and godlessness: essentially a secular and immoral empire, which would seek to impose secularism across Muslim countries. So supporting radical Islamic groups would mean that the Soviet Union would be less likely to have any influence or relations with Middle Eastern countries, making the US a more acceptable candidate for developing relations.

    A 1979 article in Foreign Affairs, the journal of the Council on Foreign Relations, described the Arc of Crisis, saying that, “The Middle East constitutes its central core. Its strategic position is unequalled: it is the last major region of the Free World directly adjacent to the Soviet Union, it holds in its subsoil about three-fourths of the proven and estimated world oil reserves, and it is the locus of one of the most intractable conflicts of the twentieth century: that of Zionism versus Arab nationalism.” It went on to explain that post-war US policy in the region was focused on “containment” of the Soviet Union, as well as access to the regions oil.[14] The article continued, explaining that the most “obvious division” within the Middle East is, “that which separates the Northern Tier (Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan) from the Arab core,” and that, “After World War II, Turkey and Iran were the two countries most immediately threatened by Soviet territorial expansionism and political subversion.”[15] Ultimately, “the Northern Tier was assured of a serious and sustained American commitment to save it from sharing the fate of Eastern Europe.”[16]

    While Khomeini was in Paris prior to the Revolution, a representative of the French President organized a meeting between Khomeini and “current world powers,” in which Khomeini made certain demands, such as, “the shah’s removal from Iran and help in avoiding a coup d’état by the Iranian Army.” The Western powers, however, “were worried about the Soviet Union’s empowerment and penetration and a disruption in Iran’s oil supply to the west. Khomeini gave the necessary guarantees. These meetings and contacts were taking place in January of 1979, just a few days before the Islamic Revolution in February 1979.”[17] In February of 1979, Khomeini was flown out of Paris on an Air France flight, to return to Iran, “with the blessing of Jimmy Carter.”[18] Ayatollah Khomeini named Mehdi Bazargan as prime minister of the Provisional Revolutionary Government on February 4, 1979. As Khomeini had demanded during his Paris meeting in January 1979, that western powers must help in avoiding a coup by the Iranian Army; in that same month, the Carter administration, under the direction of Brzezinski, had begun planning a military coup.[19]

    Could this have been planned in the event that Khomeini was overthrown, the US would quickly reinstate order, perhaps even place Khomeini back in power? Interestingly, in January of 1979, “as the Shah was about to leave the country, the American Deputy Commander in NATO, General Huyser, arrived and over a period of a month conferred constantly with Iranian military leaders. His influence may have been substantial on the military’s decision not to attempt a coup and eventually to yield to the Khomeini forces, especially if press reports are accurate that he or others threatened to withhold military supplies if a coup were attempted.”[20] No coup was subsequently undertaken, and Khomeini came to power as the Ayatollah of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

    As tensions increased among the population within Iran, the US sent “security advisers” to Iran to pressure the Shah’s SAVAK (secret police) to implement “a policy of ever more brutal repression, in a manner calculated to maximize popular antipathy to the Shah.” The Carter administration also began publicly criticizing the Shah’s human rights abuses.[21] On September 6, 1978, the Shah banned demonstrations, and the following day, between 700 and 2000 demonstrators were gunned down, following “advice from Brzezinski to be firm.”[22]

    The US Ambassador to the UN, Andrew Young, a Trilateral Commission member, said that, “Khomeini will eventually be hailed as a saint,” and the US Ambassador to Iran, William Sullivan, said, “Khomeini is a Gandhi-like figure,” while Carter’s adviser, James Bill, said that Khomeini was a man of “impeccable integrity and honesty.”[23]

    The Shah was also very sick in late 1978 and early 1979. So the Shah fled Iran in January of 1979 to the Bahamas, allowing for the revolution to take place. It is especially interesting to understand the relationship between David Rockefeller and the Shah of Iran. David Rockefeller’s personal assistant, Joseph V. Reed, had been “assigned to handle the shah’s finances and his personal needs;” Robert Armao, who worked for Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, was sent to “act as the shah’s public relations agent and lobbyist;” and Benjamin H. Kean, “a longtime associate of Chase Manhattan Bank chairman David Rockefeller,” and David Rockefeller’s “personal physician,” who was sent to Mexico when the shah was there, and advised that he “be treated at an American hospital.”[24]

    It is important to note that Rockefeller interests “had directed U.S. policy in Iran since the CIA coup of 1953.”[25] Following the Shah’s flight from Iran, there were increased pressures within the United States by a handful of powerful people to have the Shah admitted to the United States. These individuals were Zbigniew Brzezinski, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, John J. McCloy, former statesman and senior member of the Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations, who was also a lawyer for Chase Manhattan, and of course, David Rockefeller.[26]

    Chase Manhattan Bank had more interests in Iran than any other US bank. In fact, the Shah had “ordered that all his government’s major operating accounts be held at Chase and that letters of credit for the purchase of oil be handled exclusively through Chase. The bank also became the agent and lead manager for many of the loans to Iran. In short, Iran became the crown jewel of Chase’s international banking portfolio.”[27]

    The Iranian interim government, headed by Prime Minister Bazargan, collapsed in November of 1979, when Iranian hostages seized the US Embassy in Teheran. However, there is much more to this event than meets the eye. During the time of the interim government (February, 1979 to November, 1979), several actions were undertaken which threatened some very powerful interests who had helped the Ayatollah into power.

    Chase Manhattan Bank faced a liquidity crisis as there had been billions in questionable loans to Iran funneled through Chase.[28] Several of Chase’s loans were “possibly illegal under the Iranian constitution.”[29] Further, in February of 1979, once the interim government was put in power, it began to take “steps to market its oil independently of the Western oil majors.” Also, the interim government “wanted Chase Manhattan to return Iranian assets, which Rockefeller put at more than $1 billion in 1978, although some estimates ran much higher,” which could have “created a liquidity crisis for the bank which already was coping with financial troubles.”[30]

    With the seizure of the American Embassy in Iran, President Carter took moves to freeze Iranian financial assets. As David Rockefeller wrote in his book, “Carter’s ‘freeze’ of official Iranian assets protected our [Chase Manhattan’s] position, but no one at Chase played a role in convincing the administration to institute it.”[31]

    In February of 1979, Iran had been taking “steps to market its oil independently of the Western oil majors. In 1979, as in 1953, a freeze of Iranian assets made this action more difficult.”[32] This was significant for Chase Manhattan not simply because of the close interlocking of the board with those of oil companies, not to mention Rockefeller himself, who is patriarch of the family whose name is synonymous with oil, but also because Chase exclusively handled all the letters of credit for the purchase of Iranian oil.[33]

    The Shah being accepted into the United States, under public pressure from Henry Kissinger, Zbigniew Brzezinski and David Rockefeller, precipitated the hostage crisis, which occurred on November 4. Ten days later, Carter froze all Iranian assets in US banks, on the advice of his Treasury Secretary, William Miller. Miller just happened to have ties to Chase Manhattan Bank.[34]

    Although Chase Manhattan directly benefited from the seizure of Iranian assets, the reasoning behind the seizure as well as the events leading up to it, such as a hidden role for the Anglo-Americans behind the Iranian Revolution, bringing the Shah to America, which precipitated the hostage crisis, cannot simply be relegated to personal benefit for Chase. There were larger designs behind this crisis. So the 1979 crises in Iran cannot simply be pawned off as a spur of the moment undertaking, but rather should be seen as quick actions taken upon a perceived opportunity. The opportunity was the rising discontent within Iran at the Shah; the quick actions were in covertly pushing the country into Revolution.

    In 1979, “effectively restricting the access of Iran to the global oil market, the Iranian assets freeze became a major factor in the huge oil price increases of 1979 and 1981.”[35] Added to this, in 1979, British Petroleum cancelled major oil contracts for oil supply, which along with cancellations taken by Royal Dutch Shell, drove the price of oil up higher.[36] With the first major oil price rises in 1973 (urged on by US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger), the Third World was forced to borrow heavily from US and European banks to finance development. With the second oil price shocks of 1979, the US Federal Reserve, with Paul Volcker as its new Chairman, (himself having served a career under David Rockefeller at Chase Manhattan), dramatically raised interest rates from 2% in the late 70s to 18% in the early 80s. Developing nations could not afford to pay such interest on their loans, and thus the 1980s debt crisis spread throughout the Third World, with the IMF and World Bank coming to the “rescue” with their Structural Adjustment Programs (SAPs), which ensured western control over the developing world’s economies.[37]

    Covertly, the United States helped a radical Islamist government come to power in Iran, “the center of the Arc of Crisis,” and then immediately stirred up conflict and war in the region. Five months before Iraq invaded Iran, in April of 1980, Zbigniew Brzezinski openly declared the willingness of the US to work closely with Iraq. Two months before the war, Brzezinski met with Saddam Hussein in Jordan, where he gave support for the destabilization of Iran.[38] While Saddam was in Jordan, he also met with three senior CIA agents, which was arranged by King Hussein of Jordan. He then went to meet with King Fahd in Saudi Arabia, informing him of his plans to invade Iran, and then met with the King of Kuwait to inform him of the same thing. He gained support from America, and financial and arms support from the Arab oil producing countries. Arms to Iraq were funneled through Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.[39] The war lasted until 1988 and resulted in over a million deaths.

    This was the emergence of the “strategy of tension” in the “Arc of Crisis,” in particular, the covert support (whether in arming, training, or financing) of radical Islamic elements to foment violence and conflict in a region. It was the old imperial tactic of ‘divide and conquer’: pit the people against each other so that they cannot join forces against the imperial power. This violence and radical Islamism would further provide the pretext for which the US and its imperial allies could then engage in war and occupation within the region, all the while securing its vast economic and strategic interests.

    The “Arc of Crisis” in Afghanistan: The Safari Club in Action

    In 1978, the progressive Taraki government in Afghanistan managed to incur the anger of the United States due to “its egalitarian and collectivist economic policies.”[40] The Afghan government was widely portrayed in the West as “Communist” and thus, a threat to US national security. The government, did, however, undertake friendly policies and engagement with the Soviet Union, but was not a Communist government.

    In 1978, as the new government came to power, almost immediately the US began covertly funding rebel groups through the CIA.[41] In 1979, Zbigniew Brzezinski worked closely with his aid from the CIA, Robert Gates (who is currently Secretary of Defense), in shifting President Carter’s Islamic policy. As Brzezinski said in a 1998 interview with a French publication:

    According to the official version of history, CIA aid to the Mujahadeen began during 1980, that is to say, after the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan, 24 Dec 1979. But the reality, secretly guarded until now, is completely otherwise: Indeed, it was July 3, 1979 that President Carter signed the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul. And that very day, I wrote a note to the president in which I explained to him that in my opinion this aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention.[42]

    Brzezinski elaborated, saying he “Knowingly increased the probability that [the Soviets] would invade,” and he recalled writing to Carter on the day of the Soviet invasion that, “We now have the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam war. Indeed, for almost 10 years, Moscow had to carry on a war unsupportable by the government, a conflict that brought about the demoralization and finally the breakup of the Soviet empire.” When asked about the repercussions for such support in fostering the rise of Islamic fundamentalism, Brzezinski responded, “What is most important to the history of the world? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some stirred-up Moslems or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war?”[43]

    As author Peter Dale Scott pointed out in, The Road to 9/11:*

    For generations in both Afghanistan and the Soviet Muslim Republics the dominant form of Islam had been local and largely Sufi. The decision to work with the Saudi and Pakistani secret services meant that billions of CIA and Saudi dollars would ultimately be spent in programs that would help enhance the globalistic and Wahhabistic jihadism that are associated today with al Qaeda.[44]

    Hafizullah Amin, a top official in Taraki’s government, who many believed to be a CIA asset, orchestrated a coup in September of 1979, and “executed Taraki, halted the reforms, and murdered, jailed, or exiled thousands of Taraki supporters as he moved toward establishing a fundamentalist Islamic state. But within two months, he was overthrown by PDP remnants including elements within the military.”[45] The Soviets also intervened in order to replace Amin, who was seen as “unpredictable and extremist” with “the more moderate Barbak Karmal.”[46]

    The Soviet invasion thus prompted the US national security establishment to undertake the largest covert operation in history. When Ronald Reagan replaced Jimmy Carter in 1981, the covert assistance to the Afghan Mujahideen not only continued on the path set by Brzezinski but it rapidly accelerated, as did the overall strategy in the “Arc of Crisis.” When Reagan became President, his Vice President became George H.W. Bush, who, as CIA director during the Ford administration, had helped establish the Safari Club intelligence network and the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) in Pakistan. In the “campaign to aid the Afghan rebels … BCCI clearly emerged as a U.S. intelligence asset,” and CIA Director “Casey began to use the outside – the Saudis, the Pakistanis, BCCI – to run what they couldn’t get through Congress. [BCCI president] Abedi had the money to help,” and the CIA director had “met repeatedly” with the president of BCCI.[47]

    Thus, in 1981, Director Casey of the CIA worked with Saudi Prince Turki bin Faisal who ran the Saudi intelligence agency GID, and the Pakistani ISI “to create a foreign legion of jihadi Muslims or so-called Arab Afghans.” This idea had “originated in the elite Safari Club that had been created by French intelligence chief Alexandre de Marenches.”[48]

    In 1986, the CIA backed a plan by the Pakistani ISI “to recruit people from around the world to join the Afghan jihad.” Subsequently:

    More than 100,000 Islamic militants were trained in Pakistan between 1986 and 1992, in camps overseen by CIA and MI6, with the SAS [British Special Forces] training future al-Qaida and Taliban fighters in bomb-making and other black arts. Their leaders were trained at a CIA camp in Virginia. This was called Operation Cyclone and continued long after the Soviets had withdrawn in 1989.[49]

    CIA funding for the operations “was funneled through General Zia and the ISI in Pakistan.”[50] Interestingly, Robert Gates, who previously served as assistant to Brzezinski in the National Security Council, stayed on in the Reagan-Bush administration as executive assistant to CIA director Casey, and who is currently Secretary of Defense.

    The Global Drug Trade and the CIA

    As a central facet of the covert financing and training of the Afghan Mujahideen, the role of the drug trade became invaluable. The global drug trade has long been used by empires for fuelling and financing conflict with the aim of facilitating imperial domination.

    In 1773, the British colonial governor in Bengal “established a colonial monopoly on the sale of opium.” As Alfred W. McCoy explained in his masterful book, The Politics of Heroin:

    As the East India Company expanded production, opium became India’s main export. [. . . ] Over the next 130 years, Britain actively promoted the export of Indian opium to China, defying Chinese drug laws and fighting two wars to open China’s opium market for its merchants. Using its military and mercantile power, Britain played a central role in making China a vast drug market and in accelerating opium cultivation throughout China. By 1900 China had 13.5 million addicts consuming 39,000 tons of opium.[51]

    In Indochina in the 1940s and 50s, the French intelligence services “enabled the opium trade to survive government suppression efforts,” and subsequently, “CIA activities in Burma helped transform the Shan states from a relatively minor poppy-cultivating area into the largest opium-growing region in the world.”[52] The CIA did this by supporting the Kuomintang (KMT) army in Burma for an invasion of China, and facilitated its monopolization and expansion of the opium trade, allowing the KMT to remain in Burma until a coup in 1961, when they were driven into Laos and Thailand.[53] The CIA subsequently played a very large role in the facilitation of the drugs trade in Laos and Vietnam throughout the 1960s and into the 1970s.[54]

    It was during the 1980s that “the CIA’s covert war in Afghanistan transformed Central Asia from a self-contained opium zone into a major supplier of heroin for the world market,” as:

    Until the late 1970s, tribal farmers in the highlands of Afghanistan and Pakistan grew limited quantities of opium and sold it to merchant caravans bound west for Iran and east to India. In its decade of covert warfare against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, the CIA’s operations provided the political protection and logistics linkages that joined Afghanistan’s poppy fields to heroin markets in Europe and America.[55]

    In 1977, General Zia Ul Haq in Pakistan launched a military coup, “imposed a harsh martial-law regime,” and executed former President Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto (father to Benazir Bhutto). When Zia came to power, the Pakistani ISI was a “minor military intelligence unit,” but, under the “advice and assistance of the CIA,” General Zia transformed the ISI “into a powerful covert unit and made it the strong arm of his martial-law regime.”[56]

    The CIA and Saudi money flowed not only to weapons and training for the Mujahideen, but also into the drug trade. Pakistani President Zia-ul-Haq appointed General Fazle Haq as the military governor of Pakistan’s North-West Frontier Province (NWFP), who would “consult with Brzezinski on developing an Afghan resistance program,” and who became a CIA asset. When CIA Director Casey or Vice President George H.W. Bush reviewed the CIA Afghan operation, they went to see Haq; who by 1982, was considered by Interpol to be an international narcotics trafficker. Haq moved much of the narcotics money through the BCCI.[57]

    In May of 1979, prior to the December invasion of the Soviet Union into Afghanistan, a CIA envoy met with Afghan resistance leaders in a meeting organized by the ISI. The ISI “offered the CIA envoy an alliance with its own Afghan client, Gulbuddin Hekmatyar,” who led a small guerilla group. The CIA accepted, and over the following decade, half of the CIA’s aid went to Hekmatyar’s guerillas.[58] Hekmatyar became Afghanistan’s leading mujahideen drug lord, and developed a “complex of six heroin labs in an ISI-controlled area of Baluchistan (Pakistan).”[59]

    The US subsequently, through the 1980s, in conjunction with Saudi Arabia, gave Hekmatyar more than $1 billion in armaments. Immediately, heroin began flowing from Afghanistan to America. By 1980, drug-related deaths in New York City rose 77% since 1979.[60] By 1981, the drug lords in Pakistan and Afghanistan supplied 60% of America’s heroin. Trucks going into Afghanistan with CIA arms from Pakistan would return with heroin “protected by ISI papers from police search.”[61]

    Haq, the CIA asset in Pakistan, “was also running the drug trade,” of which the bank BCCI “was completely involved.” In the 1980s, the CIA insisted that the ISI create “a special cell for the use of heroin for covert actions.” Elaborating:

    This cell promoted the cultivation of opium and the extraction of heroin in Pakistani territory as well as in the Afghan territory under Mujahideen control for being smuggled into Soviet controlled areas in order to make the Soviet troops heroin addicts.[62]

    This plan apparently originated at the suggestion of French intelligence chief and founder of the Safari Club, Alexandre de Marenches, who recommended it to CIA Director Casey.[63]

    In the 1980s, one program undertaken by the United States was to finance Mujahideen propaganda in textbooks for Afghan schools. The US gave the Mujahideen $43 million in “non-lethal” aid for the textbook project alone, which was given by USAID: “The U.S. Agency for International Development, [USAID] coordinated its work with the CIA, which ran the weapons program,” and “The U.S. government told the AID to let the Afghan war chiefs decide the school curriculum and the content of the textbooks.”[64]

    The textbooks were “filled with violent images and militant Islamic teachings,” and “were filled with talk of jihad and featured drawings of guns, bullets, soldiers and mines.” Even since the covert war of the 1980s, the textbooks “have served since then as the Afghan school system’s core curriculum. Even the Taliban used the American-produced books.” The books were developed through a USAID grant to the “University of Nebraska-Omaha and its Center for Afghanistan Studies,” and when the books were smuggled into Afghanistan through regional military leaders, “Children were taught to count with illustrations showing tanks, missiles and land mines.” USAID stopped this funding in 1994.[65]

    The Rise of the Taliban

    When the Soviets withdrew from Afghanistan in 1989, the fighting continued between the Afghan government backed by the USSR and the Mujahideen backed by the US, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan. When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, so too did its aid to the Afghan government, which itself was overthrown in 1992. However, fighting almost immediately broke out between rival factions vying for power, including Hekmatyar.

    In the early 1990s, an obscure group of “Pashtun country folk” had become a powerful military and political force in Afghanistan, known as the Taliban.[66] The Taliban “surfaced as a small militia force operating near Kandahar city during the spring and summer of 1994, carrying out vigilante attacks against minor warlords.” As growing discontent with the warlords grew, so too did the reputation of the Taliban.[67]

    The Taliban acquired an alliance with the ISI in 1994, and throughout 1995, the relationship between the Taliban and the ISI accelerated and “became more and more of a direct military alliance.” The Taliban ultimately became “an asset of the ISI” and “a client of the Pakistan army.”[68] Further, “Between 1994 and 1996, the USA supported the Taliban politically through its allies Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, essentially because Washington viewed the Taliban as anti-Iranian, anti-Shia, and pro-Western.”[69]

    Selig Harrison, a scholar with the Woodrow Wilson International Centre for Scholars and “a leading US expert on South Asia,” said at a conference in India that the CIA worked with Pakistan to create the Taliban. Harrison has “extensive contact” with the CIA, as “he had meetings with CIA leaders at the time when Islamic forces were being strengthened in Afghanistan,” while he was a senior associate of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. As he further revealed in 2001, “The CIA still has close links with the ISI.”[70] By 1996, the Taliban had control of Kandahar, but still fighting and instability continued in the country.

    Osama and Al-Qaeda

    Between 1980 and 1989, roughly $600 million was passed through Osama bin Laden’s charity front organizations, specifically the Maktab al-Khidamat (MAK), also known as Al-Kifah. The money mostly originated with wealthy donors in Saudi Arabia and other areas in the Persian Gulf, and was funneled through his charity fronts to arm and fund the mujahideen in Afghanistan.[71]

    In the 1980s, the British Special Forces (SAS) were training mujahideen in Afghanistan, as well as in secret camps in Scotland, and the SAS is largely taking orders from the CIA. The CIA also indirectly begins to arm Osama bin Laden.[72] Osama bin Laden’s front charity, the MAK, “was nurtured” by the Pakistani ISI.[73]

    Osama bin Laden was reported to have been personally recruited by the CIA in 1979 in Istanbul. He had the close support of Prince Turki bin Faisal, his friend and head of Saudi intelligence, and also developed ties with Hekmatyar in Afghanistan,[74] both of whom were pivotal figures in the CIA-Safari Club network. General Akhtar Abdul Rahman, the head of the Pakistani ISI from 1980 to 1987, would meet regularly with Osama bin Laden in Pakistan, and they formed a partnership in demanding a tax on the opium trade from warlords so that by 1985, bin Laden and the ISI were splitting the profits of over $100 million per year.[75] In 1985, Osama bin Laden’s brother, Salem, stated that Osama was “the liaison between the US, the Saudi government, and the Afghan rebels.”[76]

    In 1988, Bin Laden discussed “the establishment of a new military group,” which would come to be known as Al-Qaeda.[77] Osama bin Laden’s charity front, the MAK, (eventually to form Al-Qaeda) founded the al-Kifah Center in Brooklyn, New York, to recruit Muslims for the jihad against the Soviets. The al-Kifah Center was founded in the late 1980s with the support of the U.S. government, which provided visas for known terrorists associated with the organization, including Ali Mohamed, the “blind sheik” Omar Abdel Rahman and possibly the lead 9/11 hijacker, Mohamed Atta.[78]

    This coincided with the creation of Al-Qaeda, of which the al-Kifah Center was a recruiting front. Foot soldiers for Al-Qaeda were “admitted to the United States for training under a special visa program.” The FBI had been surveilling the training of terrorists, however, “it terminated this surveillance in the fall of 1989.” In 1990, the CIA granted Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman a visa to come run the al-Kifah Center, who was considered an “untouchable” as he was “being protected by no fewer than three agencies,” including the State Department, the National Security Agency (NSA) and the CIA.[79]

    Robin Cook, a former British MP and Minister of Foreign Affairs wrote that Al-Qaeda, “literally ‘the database’, was originally the computer file of the thousands of mujahideen who were recruited and trained with help from the CIA to defeat the Russians.”[80] Thus, “Al-Qaeda” was born as an instrument of western intelligence agencies. This account of al-Qaeda was further corroborated by a former French military intelligence agent, who stated that, “In the mid-1980s, Al Qaida was a database,” and that it remained as such into the 1990s. He contended that, “Al Qaida was neither a terrorist group nor Osama bin Laden’s personal property,” and further:

    The truth is, there is no Islamic army or terrorist group called Al Qaida. And any informed intelligence officer knows this. But there is a propaganda campaign to make the public believe in the presence of an identified entity representing the ’devil’ only in order to drive the ’TV watcher’ to accept a unified international leadership for a war against terrorism. The country behind this propaganda is the US and the lobbyists for the US war on terrorism are only interested in making money.[81]

    The creation of Al-Qaeda was thus facilitated by the CIA and allied intelligence networks, the purpose of which was to maintain this “database” of Mujahideen to be used as intelligence assets to achieve US foreign policy objectives, throughout both the Cold War, and into the post-Cold War era of the ‘new world order’.

    Part 2 of “The Imperial Anatomy of al-Qaeda” takes the reader through an examination of the new imperial strategy laid out by American geopolitical strategists at the end of the Cold War, designed for America to maintain control over the world’s resources and prevent the rise of competitive powers. Covertly, the “database” (al-Qaeda) became central to this process, being used to advance imperial aims in various regions, such as in the dismantling of Yugoslavia. Part 2 further examines the exact nature of ‘al-Qaeda’, its origins, terms, training, arming, financing, and expansion. In particular, the roles of western intelligence agencies in the evolution and expansion of al-Qaeda is a central focus. Finally, an analysis of the preparations for the war in Afghanistan is undertaken to shed light on the geopolitical ambitions behind the conflict that has now been waging for nearly nine years.
