CIA'S BOURNE IDENTITY PLOT

Sunday July 8,2007
By Mike Parker in Los Angeles

MORE than 250 people who claim they are “brainwashing” victims of America’s Central Intelligence Agency are set to win a multimillion-dollar legal battle for compensation.

Their case resembles the plight of Hollywood star Matt Damon’s character in the hit movie series that began with The Bourne Identity.

As in the new follow-up film The Bourne Ultimatum, they claim that they were guinea pigs in a series of bizarre experiments to erase their memories and reprogramme them.

A court in Montreal will decide if they have a case against the Cana­dian government, which allowed the CIA’s controversial mind-control experiments to be carried out there.

Nine have already each received $67,000 (£33,500) compensation from the spy agency, which has admitted setting-up an operation codenamed MK-Ultra during the Cold War.

Many of the chilling details of the top-secret operation have come to light in an investigation by former US State Department officer John Marks for his book The Search For The Man­churian Candidate.

In CIA-speak, a “Manchurian Candidate” is the name given to an unwitting assassin who is mentally “programmed” to kill. The phrase refers to the 1964 movie of the same name starring Frank Sinatra as a brainwashed US prisoner-of-war.

Using documents released under America’s Freedom of Information laws, Marks ascertained that the CIA recruited renowned Scottish psychiatrist Donald Cameron to mastermind MK-Ultra.

Cameron, an ex-president of the World Psychiatric Association, chose Montreal’s Allen Memorial Institute to conduct potentially lethal experiments on non-US citizens.
   
Documents reveal he used thousands of unwitting as well as voluntary subjects to test paralytic drugs, hallucinogens including LSD and electro-convulsive therapy at 30 to 40 times normal power. Cameron, who died in 1967, also put many “guinea pigs” into comas for months on end while playing tapes of repetitive statements in a bid to discover if he could erase memories, then rebuild them with new information.

During an agonising legal battle which has raged since 1988, when the CIA paid nine of Cameron’s Canadian victims $67,000 each, Canada’s government has stonewalled hundreds of claims.

Up to last week, it had paid $100,000 (£49,700) each to 77 victims whose cases were so extreme that they were reduced to permanent childlike states.

Last Tuesday Janine Huard, now 79, became the first “still sane” survivor to be offered compensation, and legal experts believe her secret settlement will open the floodgates for other victims.

Janine said: “The money will allow me to live out my days as I have always wanted, with peace of mind. I am so ex­hausted from fighting for so many years.”

TIP OF THE ICEBERG

09.07.07, 9:05am

Dr. Colin A. Ross's book "Bluebird: The Deliberate Creation of Multiple Personality by Psychiatrists" represents perhaps the most well researched, non-sensational, comprehensive and factual foundation for the facts that are finally coming to light in the FOIA documents and in Canadian courts.

Recall that Dr. Ross also made mention of other projects like Sleeping Beauty studying "remote microwave mind-influencing techniques" and described it as being a "still classified mind control program". He mentioned so-called "remote viewing operations conducted under Stargate, Grill Flame and other cryptonyms at Fort Meade". He mentioned the "brain electrode research" headed by Drs Delgado, Adey, West and other researchers. Those (as expected) were left entirely out of the CIA's recent strategic revelations of its own historical crimes and probably always will be.

If those are ever allowed to come to light at all and the now routine system of control and harassment of individuals which those ultimately gave rise to should prove infinitely more provocative than even the brutal LSD and psychological research conducted in the laboratory.

So-called targeted individuals have been complaining about being subjected to several forms of esoteric harassments around the clock and of seeing their lives transformed into pits of misery. Unfortunately, those are quite real, despite being forever ignored and disregarded as being products of delusion and mental disorder by incredulous and ignorant psychiatrists and judges, who regularly rule their just complaints as 'fantastical' without having, themselves, any basis in proof for doing so.

Seeing the trend toward greater organization among targeted individuals in demanding answers, proper lawful justification, resolution and relief from their persecutions, the CIA, along with a mushrooming network of supporters within the media and public domains, have been working double time to associate their complaints with mental disorder and human evils, usually dressed in parapsychological, alien, spiritual and other nonsense by insinuation, metaphor, and semi-fiction, apparently in an effort to inculcate the public with a set of prejudicial opinions without providing any real proof in one of the largest and cleverest schemes to ever spring from the minds of Western intelligence.

Only time (and the courage of the press and of targeted individuals themselves) will tell if those ever come to light at all. Instead of a twenty year battle, it may involve a fifty or a hundred year battle to finally drag those into the light, a task made infinitely more difficult by the sheer lack of tangible proofs, which are their old hallmark and one of the ultimate intentions of that research in the first place.
