In addition to LSD and PCP, Cameron also experimented with various paralytic drugs, as well as electroconvulsive therapy at 30 to 40 times the normal power. His "driving" experiments consisted of putting subjects into drug-induced coma for months on end (up to three in one case) while playing tape loops of noise or simple repetitive statements. His experiments were typically carried out on patients who had entered the institute for minor problems such as anxiety disorders and post-partum depression, many of whom suffered permanently from his actions. His work in this field was inspired and paralleled by the British psychiatrist Dr William Sargant who carried out virtually identical experiments at St Thomas' Hospital, London and Belmont Hospital, Surrey, also without his patients' consent.
[12] Sidney Gottlieb (August 3, 1918 – March 7, 1999) was a American military psychiatrist and chemist probably best-known for his involvement with the Central Intelligence Agency's mind control program MKULTRA.
Sidney was born in the Bronx under the name Joseph Scheider. He received a Ph.D. in chemistry from the California Institute of Technology. A stutterer from childhood, Gottlieb got a master's degree in speech therapy. He also had a club foot, but this did not stop him from practicing folk dancing, a lifelong passion.
In 1951, Sidney Gottlieb joined the Central Intelligence Agency. As a poison expert, he headed the chemical division of the Technical Services Staff (TSS). Sidney became known as the "Black Sorcerer" and the "Dirty Trickster." He supervised preparations of lethal poisons and experiments in mind control. Gottleib later lived like a hermit in a cottage where he raised goats. He was commonly known at the Goat Boy inside the CIA and viewed as totally mad. Both Cameron and Gottlieb are typical of the members of the lunatic fringes that staffed much of the CIA, and still does to this day.
[13] William Egan Colby -January 4, 1920 – April 27, 1996 spent a career in intelligence for the United States, culminating in holding the post of Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) from September 1973, to January 1976.
During World War II Colby served with the Office of Strategic Services. After the war he joined the newly created CIA. Before and during the Vietnam War, Colby served as Chief of Station in Saigon, Chief of CIA's Far East Division, and head of the Civil Operations and Rural Development effort; he oversaw the Phoenix Program. After Vietnam, Colby became Director of Central Intelligence and during his tenure, under intense pressure from Congress and the media, adopted a policy of relative openness about U.S. intelligence activities to the Senate Church Committee and House Pike Committee. Colby served as DCI under President Richard Nixon and President Gerald Ford and was replaced by future President George H. W. Bush on January 30, 1976.Colby, in his old age, began to talk and in talking, annoyed his former friends in the CIA so they drowned him without ceremony. The CIA has killed quite a few of its talkative members.

After establishing a career as a writer, he developed a self-help system called Dianetics expounded in book form in May 1950. He subsequently developed his ideas into a wide-ranging set of doctrines and rituals as part of a new religious movement that he called Scientology. His writings became the guiding texts for the Church of Scientology.
[15] USIA: United States Information Agency. The cover position for CIA operatives working from the inside of an American embassy or consulate.
[16] Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Molina (24, 1891 – May 30, 1961), ruled the Dominican Republic from 1930 until his assassination in 1961. His 30 years in power, to Dominicans known as the Trujillo Era, is considered one of the bloodiest eras ever in the Americas. It has been estimated that Trujillo's tyrannical rule was responsible for the death of more than 50,000 people, including 20,000 to 30,000 in the infamous Parsley Massacre.
[17] Harry Dexter White (October 9, 1892 – August 16, 1948) was a senior U.S. Treasury Department official and an economist with close connections to the Secretary of the Treasury, Morgenthau, and through him President Roosevelt. He was accused after the war of being a Soviet spy but denied it and died, according to his death certificate, of an overdose of digitalis. It has been solidly established by translating Soviet spy documents that White was one of Stalin’s top agents in the United States.
[18] Fort Detrick a 1,200 acre secure U.S. Army Medical Command installation located in Frederick, Maryland, Historically, Fort Detrick was the center for the United States' biological weapons program (1943-69). And while officially no longer engaged in preparations for biological warfare against external enemies, it is still involved in research on such diseases as smallpox and various forms of other entities. Oft-heard rumors circulating in intelligence circles, both in the U.S. and abroad, suggest that the anthrax attacks following the 9/11 attacks had a connection with a strain developed at Detrick.
[19] Homi Jehangir Bhabha, October 30, 1909 – January 24, 1966 was an Indian nuclear physicist who played a major role in the development of the Indian atomic energy program and is considered to be the father of India's nuclear program. He died when Air India Flight 101 crashed near Mont Blanc in January 1966. Strong evidence pointed to a sabotage by the CIA intended at impeding India's nuclear program. ,
[20] Lal Bahadur Shrivastav (October 2, 1904 - January 11,1966) was the second Prime Minister of the Republic of India and a significant figure in the Indian independence movement. After the declaration of ceasefire, Shastri and Pakistani President Muhammad Ayub Khan attended a summit in Tashkent (former USSR, now in modern Uzbekistan), organized by Kosygin. On 10 January 1966, Shastri and Khan signed the Tashkent Declaration. The next day Shastri, died, supposedly of a heart attack, at 1:32 AM. He was the only Indian Prime Minister, and indeed probably one of the few heads of government, to have died in office overseas. Like the death of Homi Bhabha a few days later, the fatal heart attack has long been suspected as a means on the part of the Russians to remove a potential enemy armed with nuclear weapons.
[21] A.J.P. Taylor (March 25 1906 – September 7, 1990) was a renowned English historian of the 20th century. Taylor’s work, ‘The Origins of the Second World War’ conflicted with the official American and British scenarios but is considered by reliable historians as a landmark work on the subject.
[22] Gregory Upton Crowley, Robert Crowley’s son. Gregory Crowley shipped boxes of his father’s personal files to Gregory Douglas before his father’s death in 2000.
[23] Alfonse Marcello D'Amato (August 1, 1937) former Republican United States Senator from New York from 1981 to 1999. Attempting to curry favor with powerful Jewish interests in his district, D’Amato began an investigation into the CIA’s hiring of Heinrich Müller but it went nowhere as neither the U.S. Army who had carried Müller on their roles as a Colonel in the General Staff, nor the CIA who used him as one of their senior experts on Communism would release files to either the Senator, his staff or members of the DoJ’s Office of Special Investigations, a make-work small organization attempting to ferret out possible Nazis living in America. That there were a large number of Nazis living in America is unquestioned but almost all of them had been brought into the country as rocket scientists or SS specialists on Communism.
[24] Gitta Sereny (Honeyman) (13 March 1921 – 14 June 2012) A German-Hungarian of Jewish origins, Sereny writes creative books on anti-German and holocaust subjects . She took strong issue with Douglas’ probings into British and American intelligence connections with SS and SD personnel and engaged in a running feud with Douglas that spanned a decade. It eventually cost Sereny several jobs on British newspapers who fired her rather than become involved in defamation litigations. Sereny wrote a book, allegedly based on an interview with a man she claimed was a senior SS “death camp” commandant but the man was neither a member of the SS nor a camp commander and, conveniently for Sereny, died before she wrote her book. In historical circles, this is called ‘Dialogs with the Dead.’

[26] Admiral Bobby Ray Inman (April 4, 1931 in Rhonesboro, Texas) is a retired United States admiral who held several influential positions in the U.S. Intelligence community. He served as Director of Naval Intelligence from September 1974 to July 1976, then moved to the Defense Intelligence Agency where he served as Vice Director until 1977. He next became the Director of the National Security Agency. Inman held this post until 1981. His last major position was as the Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, a post he held from February 12, 1981 to June 10, 1982.
[27] Shirō Ishii (June 25, 1892 – October 9, 1959) was a Japanese microbiologist and the lieutenant general of Unit 731, a biological warfare unit of the Imperial Japanese Army during the Second Sino-Japanese War and accused War Criminal. Ishii experimented on Allied prisoners of war, killing large numbers of them, in an attempt to perfect a form of bubonic plague to be used on the Russians. After the war, Ishii was employed by General MacArthur, who held stock in Ishii’s Tokyo laboratory, operating the same program he had for the Kempei Tai (or Secret Police) but the U.S. decided against using the plague against either the Communist Chinese or Russians. Ishiii, however, lectured American officials at one point in time and died a rich, and never prosecuted, man.
[28] Dr Walter Paul Emil Schreiber (21 March 1893 – 5 September 1970) was a German military officer and brigadier-general (Generalarzt) of the Medical Service of the Wehrmacht. Schreiber was subsequently taken to the United States as part of Operation Paperclip. On 7 October 1951 the New York Times reported that he was working at the Air Force School of Medicine at Randolph Air Force Base in Texas.

He also had a program on NBC Radio entitled Drew Pearson Comments.
[30] IMES GmbH, a little-known East German state company that was run by East Germany’s deputy foreign trade minister, Alexander Schalck-Golodkowski. The East German company had been a key part of an international smuggling network, connected at several levels with the CIA, with secret bank accounts and shell companies in West Germany, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. The IMES company name had been exposed in the West back in 1985, when Swedish customs officials started investigating the activities of the ‘munitions cartel’ mentioned in the first section of this chapter. Some years later, Western intelligence agencies, including the US Iran-Contra arms and money networks, used IMES and the East German structure for secret weapons supplies to guerrilla movements in Central America. Schalck-Golodkowski had reportedly been involved in a massive, decade-long smuggling operation of weapons, antiques and even drugs. He was, however, only charged with the illicit import of military and dual-use items into East Germany between 1986 and 1989 and with the embezzlement of rather small amounts of foreign currency. He was sentenced to one year’s imprisonment in January 1996, and to 16 months’ imprisonment in 1997, respectively. In April 1999, a higher court acquitted him on the latter of the two charges.
[31] BND Bundesnachrichtendienst German security service, grew out of the CIA-controlled ‘Gehlen Org.’

[34] David John Cawdell Irving (born 24 March 1938) is an English writer and holocaust denier, who specializes in the military and political history of World War II. Irving's reputation as an historian was discredited after he brought an unsuccessful libel case against the American historian Deborah Lipstadt and Penguin Books. Beginning in 2005, Irving spent three years in an Austrian jail after I tipped the Austrians about his travel plans.
[35] Dr. Charles Burdick was a historian, a specialist in German military history who was later a dean at San Jose State University at San Jose. He was also a Colonel in the Army and worked for the CIA in Tokyo.
[36] Timothy Naftali is the former director of the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum, a part of the National Archives and Records Administration. Sponsored by, and working closely with, the CIA on historical issues of interest to them, Naftali also writes on holocaust matters and once taught security issues at Yale for the CIA. Along with Robert Wolfe and Richard Breitman, Naftali wrote a paper at the request of the CIA which attempted to bolster the frantic CIA claim that Gestapo Chief Heinrich Müller died in Berlin in 1945 and could never have worked for that agency after the war. The joint project is hardly convincing and considering it paucity of fact or reason, ought to have guaranteed its three authors with gift-wrapped paychecks. Of such is the Kingdom, if not Heaven, then the CIA.
[37] Croton oil (Crotonis Oleum) is an oil prepared from the seeds of Croton tiglium, a tree belonging to the natural order Euphorbialesand family Euphorbiaceae, and native or cultivated in India and the Malay Archipelago. Small doses taken internally cause diarrhea. Externally, the oil can cause irritation and swelling.

He was reprimanded by the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Ethics for "improper conduct" on November 20, 1991 after he accepted $1 million in campaign contributions from the Lincoln Savings head, Charles Keating. Keating had wanted federal regulators to stop "hounding" his savings and loan association. The committee deemed Cranston's misconduct the worst among the Keating Five.

Only ten weeks later, Lumumba's government was deposed in a CIA-controlled coup during the Congo Crisis. He was subsequently imprisoned and murdered by a CIA officer.
[40] William Cornelius Sullivan (May 12, 1912 - November 9, 1977) was former head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's intelligence operations. He handled all manner of very secret matters for J. Edgar Hoover, including the removal of Dr. Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy. Sullivan had a subsequent falling out with Hoover and intimated to his friends that he expected to have an “accidental death.” On November 9, 1977, just before the sun came up, Sullivan was walking through the woods near his New Hampshire home when a twenty-two year old hunter, son of a state law enforcement officer, shot him in the neck using a 30 caliber rifle equipped with a telescopic sight. The shooter was fined five hundred dollars and the loss of his hunting license as a result
[41] Willis Carto, publisher of the populist Spotlight Washington newspaper, latterly the American Free Press
[42] Gerald Posner (born May 20, 1954)is an attorney and a writer, originally from San Francisco, whose book, 'Case Closed' claims that Lee Oswald acted alone and that the badly-flawed Warren Commission was absolutely accurate and correct in every aspect. That the Warren report is badly flawed and fuller of holes than a Swiss cheese seems to have escaped his notice. Posner was the chief investigative reporter at the Daily Beast. Following the revelation that a number of Posner's stories for the Beast contained portions plagiarized from articles in other publications, Posner resigned from the Beast.
[43] Georgi Bolshakov (1922-1989) was a Soviet GRU officer under journalist cover who was posted to Washington, DC twice, most significantly in the early 1960s. In this capacity, he played a major role in US and Soviet diplomacy during the beginning of the John F. Kennedy adm
inistration. President Kennedy’s brother, Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, secretly met with Bolshakov on numerous occasions in 1961 in order to gain more information about Soviet intentions and convey messages from the administration to the top Soviet leadership, including Premier Nikita Khrushchev.
[44] John Alexander McCone (January 4, 1902 – February 14, 1991) was an American businessman and politician who served as Director of Central Intelligence during the height of the Cold War. After the disaster of the Bay of Pigs Invasion, president John F. Kennedy [4] forced the resignation of the CIA director Allen Dulles and some of his staff. McCone replaced Dulles on November 29, 1961.
[45] The Power Elite is a book written by sociologist C. Wright Mills in 1956. In it, Mills calls attention to the interwoven interests of the leaders of the military, corporate, and political elements of society and suggests that the ordinary citizen is a relatively powerless subject of manipulation by those entities. The structural basis of The Power Elite is that, following World War II, the United States was the leading country in military and economic terms. According to Mills, the Power Elite are those that occupy the dominant positions, in the dominant institutions (military, economic and political) of a dominant country, and their decisions (or lack of decisions) have enormous consequences, not only for the U.S. population but, "the underlying populations of the world."
