From the 1970′s to the 1990′s, a string of mail bomb attacks gained America’s attention. The bombs were peculiar in nature, having been made of wood and sometimes adorned with carvings. Eventually, a political manifesto, said to have been written by the bomber (or bombers — the authors refer to themselves as “we”) was published in the New York Times and Washington Post. In 1995, a Montana hermit named Ted Kaczynski was apprehended by the FBI and became known as the “lone nut” solely responsible for the attacks. So many times in the cases of the high-profile mass shootings, bombings and assassinations, there is speculation about some sort of MKULTRA-style mind control of the patsy, MKULTRA generally being used as a blanket term. In the case of the Unabomber, however, Kaczynski literally was a victim of a branch of the CIA’s MKULTRA proper at Harvard University, where he had been enrolled at the age of sixteen, and yet very little has been written about it from a skeptical viewpoint. As his brother, David, explains above, Ted was abused for three years in a program disguised as graduate psychological research but which actually sought behavior modification by covert means (and sounds a lot like Bill O’Reilly’s interview with Jeremy Glick). In Ted, we have all the ingredients of a supervillainous patsy, a new model of enemy to be devoured by the wrath of Joe Public, but is he really the guy, especially since it seems like guys like him — Atta and co., McVeigh and Nichols, Harris and Klebold, etc. — never really are, or at least that’s not the whole story? Many of the bombs, for instance, seem to have been beyond the ability of a man who lived without electricity. More information can be found here, here, here, here and here.

Richard Nixon may have been correct when he said that the U. S. in Vietnam had shown a degree of restraint unprecedented in the annals of war, but not in the way he probably intended that statement to be taken. Here, Marshall Thomas’ “Monarch: The New Phoenix Program” documents various intelligence and military programs which, Thomas contends, are extensions of Vietnam-era assassination programs aimed at neutralizing political dissent in America by means of exotic technology designed to terrorize and harass opponents of the existing order. Errata are here. Thomas’ web site is here. Parts one, two and three are posted in reverse order per Thomas’ instructions for viewing. Certain sections of the three parts have some redundancies, such as the first fifteen minutes of parts one and three, but are unique overall. [END] Permalink: Monarch: The New Phoenix Program
This is part five of six of “Evidence of Revision,” an eight-hour video collection which covers many a taboo subject in American history including the assassinations of JFK, RFK and MLK, the causes of the Vietnam war, the social uprisings of the 1960s and ’70s, the Jonestown massacre, government mind control programs such as MKULTRA, and vote rigging and political corruption at the highest levels. This installment continues with part four’s discussion of the RFK assassination as it pertains to the unusual behavior of Kennedy’s presumed killer, Sirhan Sirhan, and moves into a discussion of mind control “doctors” such as the once highly regarded Ewan Cameron, who destroyed the lives of countless hundreds of psychiatric patients through exotic forms of scientifically administered torture aimed at complete and total brainwashing of the victim. Finally, part five covers possible CIA operative Jim Jones and his highly abusive “Peoples Temple” cult, which was destroyed in a mass suicide in 1978 — or was it mass murder?

In case you missed Heidi Ewing’s and Rachel Grady’s “Jesus Camp” when it was released in 2006, here’s your chance to check it out. The super-creepy preacher featured in this video, Ted Haggard, has since been involved in a child abuse scandal in which he masturbated while sharing a bed with a sixteen year old boy (and subsequently admitted that he was raped by a man at a very young age). It’s about a lot more than “God” or “no God”; what is shown in this video demonstrates a system of powerful behavior conditioning which has been used to spread some very inequitable political ideologies far beyond safe levels.

John McMurtry’s lecture, “Why the Facts of 9/11 Are Suppressed: Understanding the Ruling Group Mind Behind the War Without End,” is an incisive critique of the mass schizophrenia gripping the U. S. and its allies in their waging of the so-called “War on Terror” with the 9/11 attacks as their justification. The “big disconnection,” according to McMurtry: “What, before 9/11, was a world slowly coming under universal norms of life protection and understanding of the destructive life-blindness of the global market system was, after 9/11, a monoculture of one enemy which was disconnected from every real problem humanity faces.” [END] Permalink: Why the Facts of 9/11 Are Suppressed
John Pilger’s“Breaking the Silence: Truth and Lies in the War on Terror” questions the fundamental motives for the so-called “War on Terror” of the United States. In this video, Pilger explores the U. S.’ extensive recent history of military interventions both overt and covert in dozens of nations worldwide which, in the 21st century, have been expanded into a quest for what the Bush administration termed “full spectrum dominance” on a global scale.

This German documentary gives an intimate view into the lives of U. S. soldiers in Iraq. Firefights, sniper attacks, all manners of violence are presented here in true documentary fashion. The first Gulf War began in 1991, a decade of sanctions which killed more people than the bombing of Hiroshima followed, and now a bigger war continues to drag on and on, year after year. What will be the end of the United States’ war in Iraq? [END] Permalink: Iraq: The Continuous War
BBC reporter Jon Snow’s “Iraq: The Hidden War” focuses on the impossibility of accurate media coverage, or even of much media coverage at all in Iraq’s “Red Zone,” the unsheltered area of extreme violence outside of the heavily fortified U. S. military compound known as the “Green Zone” in Baghdad. The U. S. invasion and occupation of Iraq has resulted in a deadly destabilization of the country, where electricity is often available only a few hours per day and the cost of fuel has skyrocketed, where it can be purchased at all. In Iraq, much of the journalism by Westerners must be done from within the Green Zone and consists of the editing of footage shot by hired locals paid to capture what they can where it is safe to get a story. Reporters then attempt to apply what context is available to them to weave a narrative for the viewer. The kidnapping of journalists in Iraq is widespread and cameramen must be extraordinarily careful when in the field. These difficulties have resulted in a war of which the reality, the overwhelming day-to-day violence, has yet to be fully appreciated by the Western nations whose governments have commissioned the fight.
