Project Bioshield - all americans are lab mice from now on......

[Fear]

I was reading the following article in the Scientific American and I was utterly shocked with horror how this past me by so easily "ANOTHER THING". This is the reason I copied the complete article here. It is in regard to Project Bioshield which puts ALL Americans at the mercy of the pharmaceutical companies to be used as lab mice at will (or at least it can be used as such - fake outbreaks - planned outbreaks - military personnel is ALREADY at risk for these practices.....really horrible).

Please also read after the article my searching on Project BioShield, and the Project BioShield II which is in the make.
Ofcourse this one protects the pharmaceutical companies.

An Uncertain Defense
"How do you test that a human Ebola Vaccine works? YOU DON'T" BY W. WAYT GIBBS

The Ebola virus is among the deadliest on earth; in outbreaks last year in the Republic of Congo, 157 of the 178 people infected with it died of hemorrhagic fever. Because it can be exceedingly contagious in aerosol form, the Ebola virus ranks with smallpox and anthrax as one of the most worrisome potential biological weapons. Although there is no effective treatment, recent tests have shown a new vaccine able to prevent infection in monkeys. Clearly researchers could never intentionally expose human volunteers to lthe lethal virus. And there are no populations at expecially high risk for Ebola, as there are for HIB. So how can doctors determine whether the vaccine works in people?

That question, which applies as well to experimental vaccines for smallpox and anthrax, took on new significans on July 21, when George W. Bush signed the Project Bioshield Act. The law authorizes the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to spend up to $5.6 billion over 10 years to increase its stockpile of antibioweapons medicines, including drugs that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not yet approved as safe and effective.

The secretary of health and human services can now recommend that the president order the distribution of experimental drugs to the armed forces or even to the general populace, should the secretary perceive “a significant potential for a domestic emergency, involving a heightened risk of attack.”

Although scientific evidence of some kind must suggest that the drugs will do more good than harm,human clinical trials-for decades, the only evidence that has matered-are no longer strictly required.

The prospect of treating thousands of people with a vaccine or drug only proved to work on animals may seem risky. But the realities of the pharmaceutical industry has already all but abandoned work on vaccines for many of the world’s major infectious diseases, such as malaria and tuberculosis, because the people most vulnerable to such illnesses tend to be least able to afford expensive medicines. There is vitually no natural market for vaccines to prevent smallpox (which has been eradicated) or anthrax (which is not contagious) or Ebola (which occurs in vicious but sporadic outbreaks).

So federal agencies are creating a market. “The project bioshield law specifies initial stockpiling of Ebola vaccine at about $90 million and a long-term procurement of about $260 million,”Vijay B. Samant, president of Vical, observed in an August conference call with investors. Vical is a biotech firm based in San Diego; both it and Crucell, a Dutch company, have won potentially lucrative contract to manufacture the genetically engineerd ingredients in the new vaccine.

“To gain FDA approval,we will have to gather safety data on perhaps 5,000 people,” says Gary J. Nabel, director of the Vaccine Research Center at the National Institutes of Health. Nabel’s group designed the immunization to have two stages: a DNA primer and a viral booster shot. Both parts contain only minute fragments of Ebola virus, so the vaccine itself could not cause infection. Small human safety trials of just the primer portion, made by Vical, are now under way at the NIH. But recent experiments on macaques have shown that the booster alone led to full immunity against Ebola in less than four weeks. Jaap Goudsmit, chief scientific officer at Crucell, says it remains to be seen how long the protection will last.

That is a question typically answered by a large-scale clinical trial. But a special rule passed in 2002 allows FDA approval even without direct evidence that it works in humans, in cases where subjecting humans to clinical trials would be unethical or infeasible.

A company must first show that the vaccine works in monkeys (or other animal similar to humans). Researchers then have to figure out how the animals’ immune systems respond to the optimal dose and find an equivalent dose in humans that generates a similar immune response. Project Bioshield allows the president to waive even the lowered regulations when the nation faces “heightened risk of attack.”

It may be years before scientists can determine an optimal human dose for the new Ebola vaccine. That does not mean, however, that it won’t soon enter the national stockpile. The Bush administration says that next year it expect to purchase 75 million doses of a new anthrax vaccine that has not yet even completed human safety trials.

Ofcourse, Nabel says, “you can bet there would be follow-up studies if the Ebola vaccine was used in a real outbreak.” He acknowledged, however, that “if the vaccine is so good that it aborts infection before the virus induces an immune response, we might not be able to tell who was exposed and who wasn’t.”

7. indeed: Fight Mental Health Screening For Children

Other topic, but the line between my subject and this is starting to fade.


The American tradition of parents deciding what is best for their children is, yet again, under attack. The pharmaceutical industry has convinced President Bush to support mandatory mental-health screening for every child in America, including preschool children, and the industry is now working to convince Congress as well. But mandatory screening alone is not what the pharmaceutical industry wants. The real payoff for the drug companies is the forced drugging of children that will result -- as we learned tragically with Ritalin - even when parents refuse.

much for bringing this to my attention. An excellent article--which deserves a kick for the morning crowd---

:kick:

[ronabop]

5. Okay, what do you suggest?

First of all, your subject is misleading. The point of these laws is to *prevent* dangerous human trials, which treat human life as disposable.

The article also plays fast and loose with "safe and effective". These aren't one FDA trial, those are two totally separate trials. A medicine *has* to be proven safe in order for it to be used on humans. What the article rightly notes is that we don't have a humane way of determining effectiveness.

Here are your options:
1. Give people varying treatment levels which is likely to prevent a serious disease. Infect them intentionally, or passively. Note which people have died, until you get to the optimum levels.
2. Give people a best-estimate treatment which is likely to prevent a serious disease, and then adjust treatment levels based on fatalities (if any occur).
3. Give people no treatment, let them die of the disease.

Note that all three options may mean that people die. In two options, people *may* die of side-effects, but at much, much, lower levels than of the disease. The first option is what we used to do, but, well, it's inhumane and barbaric. We used to use the third option, too, but that's inhumane and barbaric, too.

That only leaves the second option.

[Fear]

6. A suggestion on how to give drug companies more room to make money?

Hi Bop,

Actually you are misleading or perhaps you're not following here. NON of these laws *PREVENT* dangerous Human trials but encourage them.

Perhaps you remember the president's speech in one of the debates in regard to importing drugs from out of the country (like Canada) and why that shouldn't be done since some of these drugs would be *not FDA approved drugs* and the danger of lives towards Americans, that's why this is so ironical......The US does NOT allow people to buy cheaper drugs not FDA approved yet imports non FDA approved vaccines and medicens itself, and sets up a special law for it. (now that's something to cry about).

Read the following again:
The secretary of health and human services can now recommend that the president order the distribution of experimental drugs to the armed forces or even to the general populace, should the secretary perceive “a significant potential for a domestic emergency, involving a heightened risk of attack.”

A Significant potential for a domestic emergency, involving a heightened risk of attack. - So untested drugs can be administered to armed forces or the general populace WITHOUT ANY ATTACK HAVING TAKEN PLACE. A marketplace has been created for drug companies to create drugs to *protect* the people, yet using them as lab mice. Those directly effected by this are ofcourse all armed forces, which troubles me ALOT thinking already what vaccines they have gotten already NOT FDA approved / or properly tested.

Now drugcompanies go hand in hand with the government body to test their drugs on large scale / small scale test groups (please note the invented code red / orange / blue / pink etc.).

The reason this is so dangerous is that the Project BioShield gives drugcompanies a lot of power they should not ever be allowed to have. They receive a ticket to use experimental drugs on people without FDA approval (a rule applied in 2002 - after 9/11 indeed.....) Bush goes hand in hand with the drugcompanies (everybody knows that), the FDA is a frustrating body for drugcompanies forcing them to properly test their drugs, and now they have an option to get around that.

Germany has performed lots of experiments on humans during WWII.

What you wrote down sounds so nice, if people where 100% trustable and money was never a stimulator or driving force in this world.

on edit:
A suggestion is not necessary, since this is all a lot of bs giving more room for drug-companies, under the headline of non-existent threats.

And again:
Senators Judd Gregg (R-N.H.), Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.) and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) are said to be working on "Bioshield II," a bill that will provide liability protections for firms creating vaccines or drugs that could cause injuries.

Now how does that force companies to create good and proper drugs for people?, How does that *protect* the people?
Sounds like treason to me.

8. Hmm

If there's an outbreak of Ebola in your neighbourhood, what would your choices be?

To refuse the experimental vaccine would leave your survival to chance, the various strains of the Ebola virus range in mortality from ~50% (Ebola Sudan) to ~90% (Ebola Zaire).

Now saftey testing (pre-Phase I) studies of the vaccine would assure that the mortality of the vaccine is far lower than that of the disease (the current smallpox vaccine has a mortality of 1 in 1,000,000), but it's effectiveness wouldn't necessarily be proven, so you may still have to take a risk (much reduced) that the disease will kill you.

Now say you're one of the luck ~10-50% who survive infection, are you going to be symptom-free?

No. Ebola is a devastating illness, your internal organs liquify and the resultant soup leaks out of all your orifices... so there will be lasting damage.

Are you seriously telling me you'd deny people the chance to take an experimental vaccine of drug?

[Fear]

10. Please have a cup of coffee first (perhaps a cigarette) and then wake up,

before shooting RIGHT past the initial idea of laws like these.

Again:
The secretary of health and human services can now recommend that the president order the distribution of experimental drugs to the armed forces or even to the general populace, should the secretary perceive “a significant potential for a domestic emergency, involving a heightened risk of attack.”

Now think again "what is a significan POTENTIAL for a domestic emergency. Is this BEFORE or AFTER let's say an outbreak?

So there are no outbreaks / just threats (where we have no idea off whether they are actually true) what does that do?, give people vaccines at will to *protect* them?, or is that putting people at risk - since we haven't tested those drugs on humans yet - oh WAIT, we just tested the drugs on people.

and actually, MY personal opinion is that people have their OWN choice of taking drugs or not. With your statement you are removing all protection for people and ESPECIALLY armed forces.
NON FDA regulated drugs should NEVER be administered to people without giving them a choice.
I have NEVER said I would deny people the chance to take an experimental vaccine of drug.

[LibLabUK]

12. Hmm..

I'm sorry, I discounted the use of the vaccine before an outbreak as a silly proposition.

Even the military have no need for an Ebola vaccine.

I still see no problem with stockpiling an experimental vaccine incase of an outbreak.

And although I agree that people should have a choice, with something like ebola, the risk to the population at large might mean that it isn't possible to give people the choice of not being vaccinated. But again, mass vaccination beyond the immediate area of the outbreak would be overkill.

Does distribution mean administration, or does that mean that stocks woud be sent out to hospitals and such in preparedness?

[Fear]

15. well......

Why stockpiling if we are not ever going to use it
Why creating a new marketplace for the drug companies, which even allows them free experimenting
Why allow drug companies to slack the quality of drugs

Why allow drug companies to abandon work on vaccines for many of the world's major infectious diseases, such as malaria and tuberculosis, because the people most vulnerable to such illnesses tend to be lease able to afford expensive medicines.

[LibLabUK]

16. Hmm

"Why allow drug companies to abandon work on vaccines for many of the world's major infectious diseases, such as malaria and tuberculosis"

There is a tuberculosis vacine, it's called BCG and it's been in use in the UK for decades.. infact all schoolkids are given it when they hit 14 (I myself have had it).

I don't know if you been reading the news recently, but there's been a promising development in the search for a malaria vaccine and it's being tested in Africa as we speak.

Most of the vaccine research is done in university and hospital research labs with public or charitable funds, so the drug companies really haven't been that involved to begin with.

"Why stockpiling if we are not ever going to use it"

Just in case.

Why buy a fire extinguisher? I don't plan on using one unless my house catches fire, and what's the chances of that happening?

Also, when the next outbreak of ebola happens in Sudan or The Congo we might have something of some use to send to help (a workable vaccine).

[Fear]

18. *sigh*....

I see you are speaking from a UK viewpoint....not from a US viewpoint which makes a large difference here, especially in regard to pharmaceutical companies.

That's great that they have BCG in the UK!, and it's also available in the rest of Europe and the US. But not available in countries where it's most needed since they do not have the money to pay for it. (aren't we lucky we live in the western countries)

I don't know if you been reading the news recently, but there's been a promising development in the search for a malaria vaccine and it's being tested in Africa as we speak.
Again that's just wonderful!, but how many pharmaceutical companies are engaged in this awesome endeavor and which ones? Will Africa be able to pay the price for the drugs once it's been proven to work?, or will only the westerns get the vaccines when traveling across the globe.
Then there is drugs for helping people with HIV, in Europe, the US people are treated with them. But in Africa and other countries people are unable to get them because pharmaceutical companies keep prices high and do not allow local factories IN these countries to produce them.........don't fall for the lies please.

Most of the vaccine research is done in university and hospital research labs with public or charitable funds, so the drug companies really haven't been that involved to begin with.
So how come doctors (at least in the US) prefer to prescribe medicines that are newer and more expensive over the ones that have a proven track record over the years and are way cheaper?

In regard to your fire extinguisher answer.....
The fire extinguisher example is not relevant to the case proposed here.
More accurate would be.....why start spraying with a fire extinguisher when there is no fire

[DustMolecule]

17. We're in good hands with the pharmaceutical companies *NOT*

In another day and age than our current one, "distribution would mean 'likely administration' ". In today's world, who knows?

The pharma companies will be taking an enormous amount of taxpayer money for this - whether it gets administered or not, it will be PAID for by us.

Make sure that one understands the sea-change here, that R&D USED to be paid for by the pharma companies, the R&D costs were a part of normal business costs. Liability risk to the pharma company USED to help prevent carelessness on their part.

- Now the cost of R&D is being PAID for by the American taxpayer.

- The RISK will now be born by the American people.

- The BENEFIT will go to pharmaceutical companies and their (relatively small group) of shareholders.

care system for nearly 15 years- I encountered him at an
alternative mental health conference. He had quit his job
because he could no longer live with what he witnessed
in the drugging of his case load. He told me that nearly
every one of his kids was on a pharma-cocktail, the majority
of which was a combination of clinical trial drugs.
Because they were ward of the state, the foster parents
has no choice but to comply with the state care doctors
who received HUGE kick-backs for every drug they
prescribed.
He told me the kids were SO screwed up- he saw suicides
and all sorts of horrible side effects which he attributed to
the forced drugging.
Same is true in the prison inmate population.

by Laura Landsberg Hanning
http://home.earthlink.net/~sammark4/id99.html
http://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.

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?"
