“CIA Act of 1949” by Laura Landsberg Hanning http://home.earthlink.net/~sammark4/id99.htmlhttp://home.earthlink.net/~silent_no_more99/id16.html (Mirror) I found “Blank Check: The Pentagon’s Black Budget” at the Dollar Store years ago. The author, Tim Weiner, won the Pulitzer Prize for national reporting for the series of articles in the Philadelphia Inquirer that led to this book. (Time Warner Books, NY, NY, 1990, ISBN# 0-446-51452-7) Pg. 118: “The Central Intelligence Agency Act of 1949 is the sole legal basis for secret government spending in America. It remains one of the more unusual acts of legislation in the nation’s history.” “The CIA Act was reviewed behind closed doors by the ranking members of the Armed Services committees of both houses. Vinson* summed up the secret sessions by saying: ‘We will just have to tell the House they will have to accept our judgment and we cannot answer a great many questions that might be asked.’ The same cloaking of the bill took place in the Senate. The ‘highly confidential nature’ of the bill precluded open debate on its contents.”
Pg. 140:
“Where the Constitution speaks clearly, its rules are absolute. The Constitution gives Congress sole power ‘to raise and support Armies.’ The CIA had raised and supported secret armies. The Constitution prohibited the President from going to war without Congress’ consent. Presidents had used the CIA to mount secret acts of war. And the Constitution says the President and his agents cannot spend a cent without a lawful and public appropriation. The CIA could carry out any order so long as it could get and spend money secretly.”
Pg. 216:
“Secret weapons cannot be built and secret wars cannot be fought without a secret treasury. The Central Intelligence Agency Act of 1949 legalized secret government spending and made shadow wars and clandestine programs possible. In time, the secrecy that shrouded the CIA’s covert actions would envelop the nation’s most expensive weaponry and its most elaborate foreign policies.”

From James DeEugenio’s “Destiny Betrayed: JFK, Cuba, and the Garrison Case” (Sheridan Square Press, NY, NY, 1992. ISBN# 1-879823-00-4)
Pg. 276:
“Some of the Warren Commissioners were duped – like Cooper, Russell, and Boggs – and they lived to regret it (25)**. But some of the Commissioners – like Dulles and McCloy – actually perpetrated its frauds. And they went even further. Because they were part of the founding of the national security state, they felt no compunctions about allying with Nazis: borrowing, pardoning, or granting free entry into American life, members of the ugliest, most insane fascist dream ever fashioned.”
Pg. 277-9:
…”Dulles needed Gehlen’s warped and exaggerated view of the Soviet threat to expand and perpetuate the new American security fortress that included: Gehlen, Dornberger, and Paper Clip; Bormann and Odessa; McCloy and the Krupps; the coups and assassinations of the Eisenhower era; the CIA-Mafia ties; the gun-running and dope- trafficking. And all the while, great fortunes were being made in the growing military-industrial complex, which men like Dulles and McCloy represented in their law firms (26).”
“Kennedy was perceived as a threat to all these powerful interests, in his foreign policy changes, his brother’s war on the mob, his coming showdown with the Agency. Garrison’s inquiry threatened to expose all these machinations…”
…”Garrison … was not condescending to the American people. He harbored no such insecurities about himself or his feelings about his country. In short, he had no such neofascist sympathies. Dulles, McCloy, and Shaw all saw the horrors of World War II from the intelligence and logistics office sidelines. They dealt with their counterparts from the Third Reich on an official, almost comradely basis. Garrison saw the results of fascism carried to its extreme at Dachau. In his confrontation with the Warren Commission and Shaw, Garrison was the true democrat, telling the people the truth and letting them decide for themselves on the basis of the facts. In a January 1968 Ramparts article, the DA quoted an ancient maxim: ‘Let justice be done though the heavens fall.’(27) He added, “if we don’t fight for the truth now, we may never have another chance….’”

Pg. 4:
“General Reinhard Gehlen was head of Nazi Intelligence for the Eastern front for Hitler. Allen Dulles hired him to work for the Army’s G-2 intelligence in West Germany and put him in charge of the Gehlen organization, a counterespionage network that employed thousands of people to supply the Pentagon and the CIA with intelligence on the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. It was riddled with former SS, SA, and Gestapo men. (31)*** His top aides were Nazi zealots who had committed some of the most notorious crimes of the war. Gehlen himself was involved in the torture, interrogation, and murder by starvation of some four million Soviet prisoners…”
…”Gehlen signed a contract with the CIA in 1949 for a reported sum of $5 million a year… In September 2000 after fifty years of silence, the Central Intelligence Agency in an affidavit in US District Court acknowledged an intelligence relationship with German General Reinhard Gehlen. (33)”
Pgs. 13-16:
“The CIA was about to determine if I would be a proper candidate for future experiments. I proved to be everything they wanted and more. Since I was just a baby in diapers when my dad started abusing me, I learned to go someplace else in my head to preserve my sanity. After awhile, when my grandfather started doing the same things and worse, I learned to dissociate even more. I began creating separate parts or personalities to hold the memories of this trauma. The technical term is alters. In a memo dated six months before I was first used in experiments, Bluebird**** states that practical -- not theoretical research be conducted and carried out…”
…”To use a child to investigate these possibilities I find so morally reprehensible, that I have a difficult time fathoming how my grandfather could hand me over. He did. The following day I was put in a white panel van with my little suitcase. Little Girl (my two year old alter) will tell you, as Paul Harvey says, ‘The rest of the story.’ (xvi)”
”…He drops us off to Crazy Eddy. Crazy Eddy has a derby hat, a suit with a vest and white spats on. He’s got a big shiny white limousine with a funny thing on the trunk. We’s goin to Detroit. We gots our dress and black patent leather shoes on, and we falls asleep in the back seat with our thumb in our mouth. We got no blanket to cover up with.”
Crazy Eddy says,
“Time to wake up, time to wake up.”
He be shakin us. We is here – Detroit. Some men give Crazy Eddy a stash of cash to take back to the grandfather, and after he gets off the plane this other big shot guy says,
“Little Drip, can he be depended on to keep his mouth shut?”
A man named Mr. Dull-ass (48) says,
“Creeps like that are a dime a dozen. He knows what will happen if he breathes a word of this.”
Then they starts talking about ‘Little Girl’. That’s me. They tell me I’m special, real special and that they is gonna study my mind real good and see what makes us tick.

When Kathy Layow was my best friend, I spent a lot of time painting something for her
as a Christmas present. I had a Christmas card with a picture of a little boy on his knees praying by his bed. I painted this scene for her on a nice piece of stained wood.
Kenny used to come by my window in the 3rd bedroom and visit with me as I would stay up late nights to work on this. It turned out really well – it was a nice gift.
I think Kathy said Thank You when I gave it to her. Some time later I went over to her house and she left me alone in her room for a while. The painting was not hanging on the wall so I looked around for it. I found it under a stack of papers and other things on her closet floor.
My son told me a few years ago that painting is what I do best. He loved it when I painted.

I think I was in college when Wendy gave me a book as a gift: “Drawing from the Right Side of the Brain.” That must have been some kind of joke. She was a little snide about it. That’s where the huge surgical scar is in my skull – just above my right ear. I guess my parents had that part of my brain removed.
From “Closer to the Light: Learning from the Near-Death Experiences of Children” by Melvin Morse, M.D. with Paul Perry (Ivy Books, NY, 1990, ISBN# 0-8041-0832-3).
Pgs. 118-125 (underlines mine):
Ward remembered one patient who experienced every trait of the near-death experience while Wilder Penfield poked an area of his brain with an electric probe.
…Ward thought that the area Penfield was probing was the right temporal lobe.
…This was an intriguing lead. Our team of researchers began to examine Penfield’s work. Buried in a forty-year-old textbook, we found clear reference to areas of the brain, when electrically stimulated, produced out-of-body experiences. At times patients on his operating table would say, “I am leaving my body now,” when he touched this area with an electric probe. Several reported saying, “I’m half in and half out.”
The area he was “mapping” was the Sylvian fissure, an area in the right temporal lobe located just above the right ear. When he electrically stimulated the surrounding areas of the fissure, patients frequently had the experience of “seeing God,” hearing beautiful music, seeing dead friends and relatives, and even having a panoramic life review.
…Our paper was published in 1986 in the American Journal of Diseases of Children without the words “soul” or “spirit” anywhere in it.
…When my research team published its report on the anatomy of the near-death experience, we were contacted by a group of neurologists in Chile who had been studying the same thing. They had arrived at the same anatomical conclusions that we did, that near-death experiences were generated by neuron activity within the Sylvian fissure.
…They called for research that would study NDE’s in the light of visionary experiences, for example, Paul’s ecstatic visions and claims of astral travel.
…Learning that other scientists had reached the same conclusion independently told us that we had at least discovered the circuit boards of mysticism. In our hearts, some of us believed strongly that we had discovered the seat of the soul.

Hitler went after artists and intellectuals first, I think. I was forced to study dry left-brain stuff and, really, not permitted to explore other things for very long.

Pgs. 60-65:
The memories of Dr. Penfield’s experiments on me begin with my arrival in Canada aboard a plane met by Royal Canadian Mounted Police (137).***** There was a red carpet out for the dignitaries aboard this plane. Before we landed I was given a shot and smuggled into the country in a box. I was taken to Braehead on McGill’s campus. I had reoccurring dreams of this place for the next 30 years…
… In one of the experiments I was forced to lie on a table with my head immobilized. It didn’t hurt, it was just very snug, and when I struggled I found I couldn’t move a muscle of my head.
Dr. Penfield said, “Sterilize the sight.”
Then he said something about the corpus callosum being malleable. He inserted an electrode into the sleeve guides that were already imbedded in my head before I got to Canada. They were invented by John Lilly and used on animals while he worked for the National Institute of Health (NIH).
…I was awake while Dr. Penfield probed my brain and someone in the room recorded what was being said. Penfield said that my brain was like a tape recorder and he just needed to take me back in time. He did this by touching different spots of my brain. They kept recording the memories induced from images in my past, and later Sidney Gottlieb of the CIA used them for future programming sessions.
…Larry Squire describes Penfield’s work,
Because the brain contains no pain receptors, patients received only a local anesthetic, and remained fully conscious during surgery. Electrical stimulation of the cortical surface sometimes induced images which patients described as coherent perceptions or experiences … In Penfield’s view, the experiences that were elicited by stimulation reproduced the stream of consciousness from a previous episode of past life: The stimulating electrode drew the reproduction from its place of storage, much as if a tape recorder were switched on at some arbitrary position…(149)
…After surgery I walked down a long hallway with Dr. Penfield holding my hand. He was talking to another man and he sounded like he was giving a sermon.
Penfield said, “We only have 10 days to get this done. She has above average intelligence but below average ability to travel the time continuum.”(xli)
He acted as if I were not even there. Penfield continued,
“Lilly didn’t know what he had.(150) He didn’t take it far enough. He had the means to explore the great beyond. I have the Killer (referring to my Psychic Assassin alter) and the Innocence here in the same body. I know I can find the doorway to the soul, if given enough time and enough brains to experiment on.”
In Something Hidden, A Biography of Wilder Penfield by H. Jefferson Lewis, he quotes Penfield as reasoning, “I am a scientist, and I believe in the soul, therefore there must be a scientific theory to account for the soul. That was the basis in faith of the centrencephalicsystem, the ‘switchboard’ in the brain. Here, if anywhere spirit met flesh and the two were joined.” (151)

...When the OSS was disbanded after the war, Captain White continued to administer behavior modifying drugs. In 1947, the CIA replaced the OSS. White's service record indicates that he worked with the OSS, and by 1954 he was a high ranking Federal Narcotics Bureau officer who had been loaned to the CIA on a part-time basis.
...Upon leaving government service in 1966, Captain White wrote a startling letter to his superior. In the letter to Dr. Gottlieb, Captain White reminisced about his work in the safehouses with LSD. His comments were frightening."I was a very minor missionary, actually a heretic, but I toiled wholeheartedly in the vineyards because it was fun, fun, fun," White wrote. "Where else could a red-blooded American boy lie, kill, cheat, steal, rape and pillage with the sanction and blessing of the all-highest?"
