What Cold War CIA Interrogators Learned From The NAZIS (excerpt from Operation PAPERCLIP by Annie
Jacobsen posted on The Daily Beast 2-11-14)
"At a secret black site in the years after the end of WWII, CIA and US intelligence operatives tested LSD and other interrogation techniques on captured Soviet spies-all with the help of former Nazi doctors..."

MKULTRA/MKSEARCH and many other US intelligence "top secret" forays into neuroscience utilized NAZI's and NAZI "research" too. I'll be adding to this thread later, I'd like to hear from you first, DUer's.

(26,083 posts)Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard initiated their version of high tech sorcery (similar to the Nazi inner circle rites often derived from Ahnenerbe "research" ) BABALON WORKING, supposedly the manifestation of an elemental being-the "Moonchild".
BABALON WORKING continues in many cultures, including modern Los Angeles (presented as art)
http://moca.org/blasts/MOCAtvButler_Release.html
Far from straying off topic, this kind of stuff was part of the eugenics goal of producing the Aryan Superman/Superwoman as well as the truly evil medical "research" of the Third Reich-it included the paranormal as well as magic/sorcery combined with cutting edge science.
This was continued in the MKULTRA/MKSEARCH and related US intelligence community programs (occultic rituals, remote viewing, the esp experiments on NASA manned missions, covert neuroscience based terminal experimentation and research, etc.).
In 1969 Diamanda Galas was a bright California college student working with US Navy weapons researchers and people like John Lily. She has made a lot of comments about MKULTRA/MKSEARCH projects. Below is an interesting 2008 interview with Galas that covers some of what Annie Jacobsen's Operation PAPERCLIP includes, from a different perspective imo.

(55,745 posts)by Alfred W. McCoy
Mr. McCoy is J.R.W. Smail Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the author of A Question of Torture: CIA Interrogation, from the Cold War to the War on Terror (New York: Metropolitan Books, 2006).
In April 2004, Americans were stunned when CBS broadcast those now-notorious photographs from Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison, showing hooded Iraqis stripped naked while U.S. soldiers stood by smiling. As this scandal grabbed headlines around the globe, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld insisted that the abuses were "perpetrated by a small number of U.S. military," whom New York Times columnist William Safire soon branded "creeps"--a line that few in the press had reason to challenge.
When I looked at these photos, I did not see snapshots of simple brutality or a breakdown in military discipline. After more than a decade of studying the Philippine militarys torture techniques for a monograph published by Yale back 1999, I could see the tell-tale signs of the CIAs psychological methods. For example, that iconic photo of a hooded Iraqi with fake electrical wires hanging from his extended arms shows, not the sadism of a few creeps, but instead the two key trademarks of the CIAs psychological torture. The hood was for sensory disorientation. The arms were extended for self-inflicted pain. It was that simple; it was that obvious.
After making that argument in an op-ed for the Boston Globe two weeks after CBS published the photos, I began exploring the historical continuity, the connections, between the CIA torture research back in the 1950s and Abu Ghraib in 2004. By using the past to interrogate the present, I published a book titled A Question of Torture last January that tracks the trail of an extraordinary historical and institutional continuity through countless pages of declassified documents. The findings are disturbing and bear directly upon the ongoing bitter debate over torture that culminated in the enactment of the Military Commissions law just last October.
From 1950 to 1962, the CIA led a secret research effort to crack the code of human consciousness, a veritable Manhattan project of the mind with costs that reached a billion dollars a year. Many have heard about the most outlandish and least successful aspect of this research -- the testing of LSD on unsuspecting subjects and the tragic death of a CIA employee, Dr. Frank Olson, who jumped to his death from a New York hotel after a dose of this drug. This Agency drug testing, the focus of countless sensational press accounts and a half-dozen major books, led nowhere.
But obscure CIA-funded behavioral experiments, outsourced to the countrys leading universities, produced two key findings, both duly and dully reported in scientific journals, that contributed to the discovery of a distinctly American form of torture: psychological torture.With funding from Canadas Defense Research Board, famed Canadian psychologist Dr. Donald O. Hebb found that he could induce a state akin to psychosis in just 48 hours. What had the doctor donedrugs, hypnosis, electroshock? No, none of the above.

Ahnenerbe (Wikipedia)

The Canadian author, Heather Pringle, wrote a book about the Ahnenerbe that helped to inform me about their "work". Other authors have contributed to that history over the years. Below is a review of her book by Science Shelf staff.

I respect the Canadian attempts to provide some justice to their citizens that were violated by all the US sponsored covert mind control "research".
In the US intelligence community that utilized PAPERCLIP personnel there were leaders like Richard Helms (who once had an exclusive interview with Adolph Hitler when a young UPI reporter btw) Helms was also a true believer in the goals of MKULTRA/MKSEARCH, he kept it going until he was spending all his time as Director CIA destroying records of all these programs that Alfred McCoy and many others have published about. Helms did this destruction of documentation during the post-Watergate era (Church/Pike investigations etc.) He failed to eliminate all of it.
I'll be posting more about all this history that needs to be heard later. I'll close with an excerpt from another book related to Operation PAPERCLIP and some of the research of the Ahnenerbe (the first acronymn, ORD refers to the CIA Office of Research and Development=Gottlieb et al)
"ORD also sponsored work in parapsychology. Along with the military services, Agency officials wanted to know whether psychics could read minds or control them from afar (telepathy), if they could gain information about distant places or people (clairvoyance or remote viewing), if they could predict the future (precognition), or influence the movement of physical objects or even the human mind (photokinesis). The last could have incredibly destructive applications, if it worked."
(pp226-227; John Marks, The Search for the Manchurian Candidate: The CIA and Mind Control/The Secret History of the Behavioral Sciences).
That quote refers to the Reagan years US intelligence community continuence of Ahnenerbe inspired projects like STARGATE.

(160,527 posts)The mysterious Sri Lankan world of Arthur C. Clarke
Peter Popham
Tuesday 03 February 1998
The science-fiction author Arthur C Clarke yesterday denied a newspaper claim that he is a paedophile. None the less, he asked that his knighthood ceremony be postponed so not to embarrass the Prince of Wales. Peter Popham reports.
Arthur C Clarke is still going to be Sir Arthur but the ceremony may have to wait for his reincarnation in another galaxy. That seemed the implication of the announcement from the seaside home of the prophet of the Space Age yesterday, as the impact of the Sunday Mirror's story slowly sank in to this sleepy corner of the global village.
On Sunday the newspaper declared Clarke to be a self-confessed paedophile. He was quoted admitting as much, and a Sri Lankan "friend" - head of current affairs at the Sri Lankan Broadcasting Company - alleged that Clarke was still having sex with boys "a few months ago". Clarke claimed he had not been sexually active for 20 years.
Yesterday it was announced that he had requested the conferment of his knighthood to be postponed, to avoid embarrassing Prince Charles. The request was accepted. The ceremony was due to be at the British High Commission tomorrow. Clarke was also said to be discussing the Mirror's story with his lawyers. In Sri Lanka, even the astrophysicist operates at a sedate, pre-modern pace, so 36 hours after the Mirror's story broke it was my duty to bring it to the attention of the director of the institute that bears Clarke's name. Professor Sam Karunaratne was visibly stunned.

"From 1950-1962, the CIA led a secret research effort to crack the code of human consciousness..."
From FOIA requests and continued investigations and all open sources we, the people, know that the CIA did run (Helms, Gottlieb, Angleton, GHW Bush et. al) the systemic study and use of black magic for national security Operation OFTEN (also CHICKWIT) right here at the same time of Nixon and his list of enemies, Hoover's Personal and Confidential lists, the CIA's Family Jewels, etc. The targeted groups and targeted individuals of those lists were mostly American citizens that exercised their right to dissent.
Some real American Nazi influenced secret societies include Skull and Bones as well as The Aryan Brotherhood-our equivalent to The Thule Society. Kick.

(26,083 posts)"harness the forces of darkness and challenge the concept that the inner reaches of the mind are beyond reach".
Heinrich Himmler certainly did just that. So did some of the SS veterans that were magically changed into Americans in the alchemy of Operation PAPERCLIP.
"Black magic" all cultures have some of that-yet there aren't too many cultures that combined it with things like quantum mechanics, nuclear physics, genetic modification/cloning, space exploration etc.
That's what this post will attempt to do-to link the occultic belief systems of The Thule Society that were part of the NAZI Party leadership and its policies to what US intelligence covert endeavors like MK OFTEN yielded.
DUers that share some of these beliefs as part of their religious freedom/freedom from religion should not take offense-this is just me expressing some thoughts about hidden history.
Moderators take note that some of the hyperlinks will be weird to general readers-the purpose is to inform how the US intelligence community interacted with and was influenced by Operation PAPERCLIP.
The balance of this post will be background links related to Sid Gottlieb's remarks concerning MK OFTEN.

Cold, satellite photos, The Thule Society, Operation PAPERCLIP-that reminds me that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration/NASA owes a lot to people like Jack Parsons (JPL;BABALON WORKING;California O.T.O etc) and the scientific contributions of Operation PAPERCLIP NAZI's like the Peenemunde team.
People like "the father of space medicine" Hubertus Strughold, his colleagues the Haber brothers (Heinz and Fritz), the discredited Dr. Rudolph and many others. Let's look at what some have termed NASA's Nazis, originally brought to US by Operation PAPERCLIP.

(26,083 posts)This is fascinating to me because I was born and raised in Milwaukee and currently reside in Wisconsin. I earned my Bachelor's in the UW system. I don't ignore history. I love the truth and am relentless when pursuing it.
This post is about some of the people and events in the OP.
Fort Detrick was converted into a CBW center by UW-Madison bacteriologist Ira Baldwin and others connected to UW.
Birth of Science (US Army)
http://www.detrick.army.mil/cutting_edge/chapter04.cfm
Dr. Baldwin's participation in CBW research was far more intensive than his Ft. Detrick or Wikipedia entries state.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ira_Baldwin
He chose Fort Detrick because of it's proximity to Washington D.C. as well as rural location plus that part of Maryland had other military places like Edgewood. After WWII both Detrick and Edgewood had Operation PAPERCLIP employees (like Friedrich "Fritz" Hoffmann) and lots of NAZI "research data".
Edgewood Arsenal Experiments (Wikipedia)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgewood_Arsenal_experiments
A Milwaukee pioneering psychiatrist and neurosurgeon, Dr. Ernest L. Bullard, (he was the Director of the Wisconsin State Asylum @ Mendota that resigned in 1904 after an outbreak of typhoid fever had killed clients there) moved to Maryland after purchasing a Rockville hotel in 1906.
Dr. Bullard converted it into an insane asylum which opened in 1910 as Chestnut Lodge Sanatarium. For quite awhile he was the sole Dr. there, followed by 3 generations of Bullards that practiced there.
Chestnut Lodge Sanatarium (Asylum Projects.org)
http://www.asylumprojects.org/index.php?title=Chestnut_Lodge_Sanatarium
Frank Olson was from Wisconsin, he earned his degree here before becoming involved in the military intelligence community during the war and after working at Fort Detrick as a senior microbiologist.
He was secretly dosed with LSD by Sidney Gottlieb and had some reactions which led to CIA attempts of treatment at Chestnut Lodge and later the NYC Agency connected hypnotist Mulholland (btw, I don't trust nor believe in coincidence when it comes to the US intelligence community).
Frank Olson (Wikipedia)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Olson
That's enough for today from me, I encourage others to add to this thread. One last thing, last week the American Psychological Association's legislative body voted in favor of a ban of "participation" (torture) in US military interrogation-yet the APA "failed" to get it on its agenda.
bobthedrummer
(26,083 posts)It gets very interesting when people follow the career paths of prominent people and institutions related to the abuses of neuroscience that were part of the MKULTRA/MKSEARCH Cold Warriors and their Operation PAPERCLIP colleagues.
Let's begin with Carl Rogers (some of his research was funded by the CIA's Human Ecology Fund and was part of MKULTRA Sub-projects 94 & 74). Rogers was a Board member of the UW Human Ecology Fund. He was the President of the American Psychological Association 1947-48.
Carl Rogers (Wikipedia)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Rogers
Btw, below is a link from the Canadian Coalition to Oppose Arms Trade/COAT that details what Dr. Ewen Cameron (President APA) did with his Society for the Investigation of Human Ecology/Human Ecology Fund grants.
1957-1961 Canada: MKULTRA Experiments in Montreal by Joseph Rauh Jr & James Turner
http://coat.ncf.ca/our_magazine/links/issue43/articles/1957_1961_canada.htm
There was graduate student Abraham Maslow (whose Hierarchy of Needs theory was reversed, in many ways, by MKULTRA/MKSEARCH projects)
Abraham Maslow (Wikipedia)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Maslow
Maslow's graduate education at UW was led by Harry Harlow (Head of Human Services Research Branch US Army 1950-52) who went off campus to found his Primate Research Center in Madison.
Harry Harlow (Wikipedia)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Harlow
There was Louis Jolyon West of course-he was doing LSD "tests" long before becoming a founder of the Cult Awareness Network and setting up his spooky projects at UC, plus he was the goto guy when it came to interviewing "assassins" (that was a big part of MKULTRA/MKSEARCH-to determine if it was possible to create a programmed assassin, I believe this was achieved). He spent a lot of his service at Texas USAF bases that were full of Operation PAPERCLIP employees and projects.
Louis Jolyon West (Wikipedia)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Jolyon_West
Back to Carl Rogers, one of his first graduate students at UW-Madison was none other than William Thetford (who was a scribe to Helen Schucman's "channeled by Jesus Christ" cult favorite A Course in Miracles/ACIM)
William Thetford (Wikipedia)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Thetford
There is a lot more I could post about the Wisconsin MKULTRA/MKSEARCH connections but I think people will see the point I and other survivors of the "research" are making, we aren't making this up-no one could. It's reality.
Btw, you can make a gift to the UW Human Ecology Fund if you want to, it's 2014 not 1967.

And you might be eligible for a Wallace J. Hilliard Fund if UW still grants them for Emerging Scholars in Mathematics (Wally was the owner of Huffman Aviation among other enterprises)

(26,083 posts)There are a couple more US intelligence community fellas that I'd like to introduce into this thread, Andrija Puharich and Hal Puthoff.
First is the Puharich family website maintained by his son Andy. It verifies, in a positive way, his involvement in much of what has been posted so far.
Andrija Puharich (Official website)
http://www.puharich.nl/Bio/biography.htm
Andrija Puharich (Wikipedia)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrija_Puharich
I remember that Peter Hurkos guy making the rounds in my childhood taking Polaroid camera pictures of places inside his head on live tv-and who can forget Uri Geller's demonstrations...
But what really concerns me is the fact that the genius Puharich was a medical officer in the US Army that spent lots of time in the 50's at both Edgewood Arsenal and Fort Detrick and had many other Operation PAPERCLIP connections that were a huge part of US CBW, MK ULTRA, and MK OFTEN.
Then there is Hal Puthoff, another US intelligence genius ("former Scientologist", parapsychologist, directed energy systems pioneer, NSA employee, etc).
Hal Puthoff (Wikipedia)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_E._Puthoff
Hal Puthoff (Parapsychology Association)
http://archived.parapsych.org/members/h_puthoff.html
Well remote viewing is certainly a big moneymaker for the gray/black budget today, so is being a spook psychic (again, no disrespect here) honored at places like Stanford Research Institute's Cognitve Science Laboratories where Puharich and Puthoff mentored and researched STARGATE with US taxpayers non-consensual support.

(26,083 posts)Reinhard Gehlen became the Third Reich's spy master of the Eastern Front when Germany turned against the neutrality agreement with Stalin's USSR.
He held rank in the Wehrmacht, but, let's remember that he was a spy so who knows what to think about his claims (extremely self-serving ones especially about supporting plots against Hitler-what a good guy he must have seemed to some--sounds like survival tradecraft)
He was believed by US military officials who really didn't know much about our ally Stalin's USSR, so Gehlen was "recruited". He brought with him many, many NAZI SS and SD and, of course some Soviet agents that were part of the networks he oversaw.

(26,083 posts)German economist/banker/politician Hjalmar Horace Greely Schacht put together an influential group of bankers to form the Bank of International Settlements/BIS to lessen the imposed economic effects of starting WWI being felt by all German citizens.
What I intend to do in this post is to connect more "hidden" historic people and events together in the context of Operation PAPERCLIP and its tremendous influence on the development and policies of the US national security community.

Otto Skorzeny was a legendary SS military leader (who later helped form the ODESSA and Werewolves networks). He was captured, went to trial (1947), was acquitted and then held in an Allied prison camp at Darmstadt. On July 27, 1948 three men wearing US Army MP uniforms took "custody" of Skorzeny on the pretext of taking him to legal proceedings at Nuremberg. This was how he escaped from the Allies.
For the next 18 months Otto Skorzeny hid on a Barvarian farm owned by Countess Ilse Luthje-the niece of Hjalmar Schacht. While hiding there Skorzeny had contacts with Reinhard Gehlen and other Operation PAPERCLIP operatives.

(26,083 posts)Operation PAPERCLIP employees with skill sets including torture and assassination aka enhanced interrogation techniques and regime change. Prior to being called the Directorate of Operations/DO it was known as the Directorate of Plans/DP.
Today (thanks to Porter J. Goss, who worked in the DP approx. 1960-71) the functions of that unit have been absorbed and expanded by the National Clandestine Service.

Porter J. Goss is another one of those Bush Family Yale CIA well connected folks, he is a Cheney/Gottlieb ("darkside" vet that certainly was directly influenced by the original Operation PAPERCLIP Nazis, and his brief tenure and policies as George Walker Bush's "choice" for DCI (4-21-05 to 5-5-06) are currently blowing up all around US and the world-without giving him the proper credit imo.

It's not easy to find open sources about what was really going on in that era (1960-71) when Porter Goss was hanging out a lot in Miami and The Southern Cone with colleagues like George Joannides, David Sanchez Morales, Frank Wisner et al.
For those that find researching hidden history worth the considerable efforts, the last hyperlink in this post comes from the late former Assistant Deputy Director of the Directorate of Operations Robert Trumbull Crowley papers via John Young's Cryptome archives.
It is a controversial list of names and addresses known as The Crowley Files which I, for one, have found worthwhile when researching the US intelligence community's legacies of Operation PAPERCLIP.

He did work in some capacity with Operation PAPERCLIP. He had a connection with John Kennedy that went way back to his service as a "diplomatic staffer" in Moscow and Paris.
There have been many references to his connections to Sid Gottlieb, MKULTRA etc. Offie and Gottlieb were relative neighbors (Culpepper&Markham Virginia). Carol Rutz authored an intriguing article about this.

The Wisner family seems another example of this dynastic elite (Dulles, Bush etc.) element to me. Frank Gardner Wisner Sr. became a fanatic anti- Soviet that recruited his own set of Nazis (Operation BLOODSTONE) and spent lots of time with other members of our nation's elite (The Georgetown Set) crafting together a MSM propaganda/influence operation within the US free press (Operation MOCKINGBIRD). He was extremely close with Richard McGarrah Helms.
As with all accounts of these historic figures there are many impediments when trying to find out who they were/are and what they really did contribute to defending the national security of The United States of America.

(26,083 posts)Rumsfeld, Cheney, Perle, Wolfowitz and the most powerful people in the USA when it came to militarism (from the Cold War to the present day) was Fritz Gustane Anton Kraemer.
For me the most educational article about Fritz G.A. Kraemer was written by Nick Thimmesch and published March 2, 1975 in the Washington Post (March 2-Parsons/Hubbard California OTO BABALON WORKING anniversary, what a coincidence, again-lol).

Its long been known that Nazi scientists helped the U.S. in its quest to secure its military might and space program at the height of the Cold War. Wernher von Braun, for example, a Nazi rocket scientist, led a team that helped the U.S. develop the vehicle employed for the first nuclear missile test, and aided efforts to launch first Western satellite in 1958. Hundreds of Nazi scientists were given citizenship between 1945 and 1955. But whats been unknown until today is the extent to which former Nazis were employed to test LSD and other interrogation techniques on captured Soviet spies.
According to a book released this week by journalist Annie Jacobsen, U.S. intelligence hired Third Reich scientists in capacities stranger and more nefarious than anything reported before.
Under Operation Paperclip, which began in May of 1945, the scientists who helped the Third Reich wage war continued their weapons-related work for the U.S. government, developing rockets, chemical and biological weapons, aviation and space medicine (for enhancing military pilot and astronaut performance), and many other armaments at a feverish and paranoid pace that came to define the Cold War, Jacobsen writes. Her book is titled Operation Paperclip: The Secret Intelligence Program that Brought Nazi Scientists to America.
The book follows 21 former Nazis, eight of whom worked side by side with Hitler and his top lieutenants. According to Jacobsen, they joined the U.S. fight against the Soviets in the U.S. at the behest of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Her account reveals the bizarre, funhouse-like theater that pervaded the U.S. military and intelligence services at the time. It takes the reader a step farther than previous narratives, exploring the nexus of Nazis and Americans, whod been at war just years before. In a memorable paragraph, she describes U.S.-Nazi collaboration over LSD.
Quoting a memorandum on a program titled U.S. Artichoke, she writes, Between 4 June 1952 and 18 June 1952, an IS&O [CIA Inspection and Security Office] team
applied Artichoke techniques to two operational cases in a safe house. In the first case, light dosages of drugs coupled with hypnosis were used to induce a complete hypnotic trance
This trance was held for approximately one hour and forty minutes of interrogation with a subsequent total amnesia produced.
She also posits that the CIA teamed up with former Nazis to develop interrogation techniques.

(26,083 posts)and "neutralize" them.
In the proxy USSR/USA Vietnam War many of the topics discussed so far were operationalized by all sides
Lt. Col. John B. Alexander was a commander of US Special Forces in Thailand/Vietnam 1966-69.
He worked with many in the CIA, DIA and other groups that had directly been part of what the Operation PAPERCLIP employees weaponized in the Cold War against godless communism-including invoking (ala post-atomic BABALON WORKING etc.) new and old gods and goddesses and the use of their alleged special powers.
Let's start with a review of Dr. John B. Alexander, his family and social networks. He earned his PhD at Walden University (Minnesota) in Thanatology btw, the study of all aspects of death in human cultures. His participation in secret operations like The Phoenix Program must have heavily influenced that choice of dissertation imo.
John B. Alexander (Wikipedia)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_B._Alexander
Wow! Now with that brief Wikipedia entry lets see where we can go searching for the hidden history. He is a recognized US military non-lethal weapons expert along with many others.
(US Army 2007)
http://www.carlisle.army.mil/proteus/docs/bios-2007.pdf
He was part of the CIA/DIA Remote Viewing Research and Development that did, in fact, produce a Defense Intelligence Agency Coordinate Remote Viewing Manual and branched out over the decades. Sometimes one has to go to some very strange places when seeking facts. I don't know who P.J.Gaenir is, he does have an archived pdf copy of the DIA/Stanford Research Institute Coordinate Remote Viewing Manual on his Firedocs page.
http://www.firedocs.com/remoteviewing/answers/crvmanual/CRVManual_FiredocsRV.pdf
There are various camps of these remote viewers aka psychic spies
http://www.remoteviewers.com/htms/updated/info/general_rv/readings.htm
Remote viewing was part of finding the elusive enemy during the Vietnam War and part of the Phoenix Program that people like Dr. Alexander participated in. This Phoenix Program deserves a bit of background in this post too. Some of the major CIA employees and operative networks involved in it have been written about.

Wow!
No one made this up and I, for one, can see the connections back to some of the shared conceptual frameworks/rituals of The Thule Society, the Waffen SS, the California OTO etc. Even what Sid Gottlieb termed the "black magic" of MK OFTEN and similar US intelligence community endeavors-no matter how crazy they might seem to other human beings.
Well Lt.Col John B. Alexander had a very sinister colleague in the Defense Intelligence Agency, Lt Col. Michael Aquino, who was very open about his personal faith and practices of worshiping Satan-so much so that he took over much of the Church of Satan and formed the Temple of Set and got the US Armed Forces to recognize this legally as an organized religion so that US military members could do whatever Satanist/Setians do during their services.
That is not meant to take away from the possible contributions Col.Aquino made to the US national security during his military service in the Defense Intelligence Agency and elsewhere.
Yet there remains the issues of special operations torture and murder, and the lifelong effects on all human beings involved in that regardless of all else which people like Dr. Alexander and Col. Aquino helped develop for our national security.
As a consequence of his religious affiliation Col. Aquino has certainly sparked much controversy including being a person repeatedly cited in several horrible criminal cases involving self-identified Satanists.
Satanism and Ritual Abuse-Case-by-Case Documentation (Alex Constantine 2-14-09)
http://www.whale.to/b/satanism2.html
Then there are the similarities between tactics and techniques used by 21st century special forces and what was envisioned in the writings of such DIA papers as MindWar (Aquino) to strange societal events and the formation of groups like Multistalker Victims, groups that have contributed much to the database about people like Dr. John B. Alexander and topics like remote viewing, esp, hightech magic etc.

I have absolutely no doubt that "former ardent NAZIS" and other fascists (sometimes wearing US uniforms) were major influences on policies and operations as well as introducing forms of experimental warfare in Vietnam.
I have no doubts that the former USSR also employed "former ardent NAZI's" worldwide but nothing ever approaching what the US national security community accomplished.

Let's take a look at some of the other US national security community's leaders of this defeat in Vietnam (my boomer generation's war) in addition to those mentioned in post #35.
First, though, we need to mention some Cold War doctrines that "guided" our involvement in Vietnam. President Eisenhower is credited with the "domino theory"-i.e. communist states in any given region of earth would force neighboring states to become communist. Richard Nixon was especially outspoken on this back in the Korean War era. Several others contributed to this overarching viewpoint.
I don't find any coincidences when it comes to their espionage connections during and after WWII and secret society memberships.
These are a few of those that chorused "rather be dead than Red" just like NAZI's while a lot of human beings died and suffered.

Here's a fact curiously missing from American history and any mention of the Warren Commission: Two of its members were directly responsible for the rise of post-war fascism. Allen Dulles, as a top official of the OSS and CIA, incorporated NAZI war criminals into the CIA from its founding. John McCloy, as High Commissioner for Germany, allowed Klaus Barbie and who-knows-who-else to escape justice. Of course, both men were also barons of Wall Street and Beltway Insiders, at the heart of the military industrial complex. We all can see what that means for the United States today.
