In 1975, during the Church Committee hearings, the existence of a secret assassination weapon came to light. The CIA had developed a poison that was supposed to cause the victim to have an immediate heart attack. This poison could be frozen in the shape of a dart and then fired at high speed from a pistol. The gun was capable of shooting the icy projectile with enough speed that the dart would go right through the clothes of the target and leave just a tiny red mark. Once in the body the poison would melt and be absorbed into the blood. Instant heart attack! The poison had been developed to be undetectable by modern autopsy procedures.

In this video you can watch some of the testimony regarding the weapon.

In January of 2009, one of the first actions taken by President Obama was to issue directives banning the use of secret prisons and torture facilities by the CIA. He failed to ban the use by the military. As it turns out the military still operates secret torture prisons in Afghanistan.

The prisoners are held in tiny concrete cells. They are lit 24 hours a day by a single bulb. Detainees are only taken from their cells twice a day. Then their only relief from the solitary confinement is the interrogations.

Under the Third Geneva Convention on the treatment of Prisoners of War; imprisonment in premises without daylight is forbidden, prisoners of war must have the right to legal advice, and prisoners of war are entitled to the same treatment given to a country’s own forces, including total surface and cubic space of dormitories, fire protection, adequate heating and lighting, and separate dormitories for women. .

The truth is… its not real. That’s right the airplane only stays in the air because we all agree that it will.  If we cease to believe it will all fall apart.

In my search of the net today I came across a new video.  I thought I would give it a few minutes to see if it was worth reporting on.  I watched the whole thing!

I have posted the trailer but the entire movie is viewable online here.

In 1953 the CIA approached John Mulholland to write a new manual for its agents. Mulholland, a celebrated magician, was to create a how-to guide to help teach  US spies become slight-of -hand experts.

Mulholland quit his job of 23 years as Editor of The Sphinx – America’s preeminent magic publication. He went to work showing secret agents how to use magic to deceive their Cold War enemies.

It was thought that all copies of the manual were destroyed in 1973.  But is 1997, through a Freedom of Information Act request,  a declassified copy was unearthed.

The manual has been just been republished as The Official CIA Manual of Trickery and Deception.

See some sketches of some of the techniques at The Boston Globe.

The Office of Strategic Services, or OSS, was a US intelligence agency created during World War II. In wartime, intelligence was being gathered by several different government agencies and not being shared between them.

The OSS was created  by President Franklin Roosevelt in 1942. The objective of the new agangy was to collect and analyze strategic information and to conduct special operations not assigned to other agencies.
After the end of the war the OSS morphed into what is today the CIA.

In January of 1944 the OSS produced Strategic Services Field Manual No. 3, Simple Sabotage Field Manual. (36 pages pdf)

A former horse riding school in Lithuania was turned into a secret prison for al-Qaeda operatives. It had been suggested for years that the CIA operated secret prisons for the illegal torture of suspected enemy agents. In investigations by ABC News, Lithuanian government officials and unnamed former intelligence operatives, the CIA built the secret jail in 2004 and used it for more than a year, flying in at least eight suspected al-Qaeda terrorists from Afghanistan.

In the early 1950’s the US Army hired researchers at Duke University to research the possibility that dogs and other animals had “Extra sensory perception.” The final report for the research was completed on July 10, 1953 but not made available to the public until many decades later.

The Australian prime minister has said he would consider an inquiry into allegations of  forced abortions, assault, torture, imprisonment, covering up sexual abuse, embezzlement of church funds and blackmail.

Australian Senator Nick Xenophon has publically accused The Church of Scientology of being “a criminal organization.”

This comes less than a month after a French court convicted the Church of fraud and fined it more $900,000. The religion of John Travolta and Tom Cruise seems to be on the run.

In 2007, Germany banned the makers of Tom Cruise’s movie Valkyrie from filming at military sites in the country because he was a Scientologist. The German defence ministry said Scientology is a cult that masquerades as a religion to make money.

During my regular web digging today I came across a series of rather disturbing videos. These videos purport to show actual testimony before a US government panel, The President’s Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experimentation, March 15, 1995.

The videos show witness after witness recounting acts of torturous experimentation they experienced as children. Torture including, electrical shock, radiation exposure and attempted mind control are consistent themes in testimony.

Never doubt that men in high places will do whatever they need to do to stay in power!

After reading My Twisted Life as a Scientologist (New York Post 11/15/2009),  I thought it would be fun to do a little looking into Scientology’s closet.  I gotta tell you, the closet is full.

L. Ron Hubbard, the American science fiction writer, created a self-help system he called Dianetics. First published in 1950, it developed into doctrines and rituals as part of a new religion he dubbed Scientology.

Scientology is legally recognized as a tax-exempt church in the United States. Many countries, however, refuse to grant Scientology the status of a church. Canada, UK, Germany, France Belgium, Ireland, Israel, Luxembourg and Mexico do not recognize Scientology as a religion. In Greece, Scientology was banned in 1997, and the Greek government upheld the ban in 2003, rejecting an application for Scientology to be recognized as a religion.

Scientology is often referred to as a cult often accused of financially defrauding members. The teachings of The Church of Scientology are cloaked in secrecy. Most of what is known about the teachings of the church comes to us from ex-members.
