A prime example of the ‘buzz word’ approach to mind manipulation is the term’cult’. The plan has been to engineer events and propaganda which devalue theword cult in the public mind and then, once that is achieved, to apply the labelcult to any group or organisation which the Elite wish to discredit and destroy.That means anyone who is challenging the status quo or living in ways thatundermine centralised control.The Concise Oxford Dictionary definition of cult is A system of religious worshipas expressed in ceremonies; devotion or homage to person or thing. So everyreligion is a cult by that definition, and so is the banking and financial system,where they are devoted and pay homage to a ‘thing’: money. The All-Seeing Eyesecret society network is a cult because it worships the Luciferic, Prison WarderConsciousness through ceremonies, devotion, and homage. The whole of theUnited Kingdom is a cult, or at least those many people who are devoted to andpay homage to the monarchy. Almost everything becomes a cult under thatcriterion. However, that is not what the manipulators want you to think. They haveused events to turn the word cult into a much narrower meaning – dangerousreligious ‘nutters’, brainwashed and programmed to worship a messiah figure. Theplan is well advanced in feeding the public mind with such messages to the pointwhere anything labelled a cult is subject to a reflex action response of: Dangerousnutters – something must be done.There are three ways you can manipulate events to suit that plan. You can set upthe ‘cult’ from the start and control the whole thing; you can infiltrate a group orcommunity with agents provocateur who then act in ways which discredit theinnocent members, or you can simply blame a group of people or sect forsomething they did not do. Whichever way you choose, the outcome is the same -the word ‘cult’ is further devalued in the collective consciousness. Two eventswhich have been enormously successful in poisoning the public to the word ‘cult’have been the Jonestown Massacre of 1978 and Waco in 1993. The Jonestownencampment in Guyana was the headquarters of the People’s Temple sectcontrolled by its ‘messiah’ figure, Jim Jones. Its members, overwhelmingly black,had followed Jones to Guyana from the original base in California, then under thegovernorship of Ronald Reagan. An estimated 900 people died at Jonestown onNovember 18th 1978, in what was said to have been a mass suicide achievedthrough cyanide poisoning and shooting. At Waco in Texas 15 years later, we wereasked to believe the same official story of a mass suicide by the Branch Davidian sect run by its ‘messiah’ figure, David Koresh. Who benefits from people believingthese official explanations? Those who want the word ‘cult’ to mean ‘dangerousnutters’. Intriguingly, therefore, we can point out many connections with theintelligence agencies.One of the main financial backers of Jonestown was Dr Lawrence Layton senior,who was formerly in charge of research and development at one of the US Army’stop chemical and biological warfare research centres at the Dugway ProvingGround in Utah. This has been connected by researchers to cattle mutilationsblamed on ‘aliens’, disease warfare, and genetic experimentation. Layton was alsodirector of the Missile and Satellite Development at the Navy Propellant Division atIndian Head, Maryland. His wife’s fortune came, in part, from the I.G. Farbencartel. Their son, Lawrence Layton Jr, was in the sect firing squad which executedCongressional Representative, Leo Ryan, who had travelled to Jonestown toinvestigate the People’s Temple. Ryan was seriously unpopular with the CIA. Hehad co-authored the Hughes-Ryan Amendment which obliged the CIA to giveCongress prior notice of covert operations. What a coincidence that Ryan, a manbattling to make the CIA accountable to the people, should be in Jonestown,Guyana, at just the moment the shooting started.The Laytons are a prominent Southern family who fought for the Confederatesduring the civil war. They have many connections with the intelligence agencies.Lawrence Layton Jr’s sister, Debora Layton Blakey, was married to George PhilipBlakey, the man who placed the downpayment on the property at Jonestownpurchased by Jim Jones. Blakey was a former contract agent for the CIA in Angolaand a number of researchers claim that Jonestown was used as a cover to train’rebels’ for the CIA covert operations in Angola. There are other CIA connections tothe Jonestown massacre. Richard Dwyer, the deputy head of the US Embassy inGuyana and the local CIA chief, was known to be involved. On a tape recorded atJonestown when the violence flared, the voice of Jim Jones can be heard shouting,Get Dwyer out of here. By his own admission, Dwyer was seen stripping thedead of their wallets and other identification on the orders of Zbigniew Brzezinski,a founder of the Trilateral Commission and then Jimmy Carter’s National SecurityAdvisor.1 The People’s Temple members were active in their support of the GuyanaPresident, Forbes Burnham, who openly admitted his links with the CIA. When JimJones went to Brazil in 1961 to administer to the downtrodden, his transportationand food were paid for by the US Embassy, and he told local residents that he wasworking for Naval Intelligence. He was accompanied by his lifelong friend, DanMitrione, who worked for the CIA instructing Third World police forces oninterrogation and torture techniques. The connections between Jones, Jonestown,and the intelligence agencies are many. James T. Richardson, professor of sociologyat the University of Nevada, published a study of the People’s Temple in the JournalFor The Scientific Study Of Religion, in 1980. He wrote:Because of the negligence of US officials in not ordering immediate autopsies onthose who died in Guyana, we will never know how many died of suicide and how many were murdered. Dr Leslie Mootoo, Chief Medical Examiner for the Guyana Governmentand the first medically-trained person to arrive at Jonestown after the event, toldreporters: ‘I do not believe there were ever more than 200 persons who diedvoluntarily.’ He said this after inspecting a number of bodies and the scene of theirdeaths. This question has been most fully discussed in a series of articles by DeirdreGriswold in Worker’s World…a series which also poses some questions about possibleCIA involvement in the Jonestown tragedy. Griswold, who accuses the US Government ofdeliberately destroying evidence by not performing autopsies, points out a number ofintriguing ties between the People’s Temple and the CIA. She says some of the whiteleaders at Jonestown may have been CIA agents, and Jonestown may have been apawn in political struggles involving the US, Cuba, and Guyana…There is also evidence that Jonestown was a mind control experiment and a partof MKUltra. Large quantities of psychiatric drugs were found there, enough to drug200,000 people a year, and the members were known to wear identification tagssimilar to those that people are given in hospital. Indeed, the Jonestown complexincluded a substantial and sophisticated hospital while conditions in the rest of thecompound were poor. The mix of blacks, women, and prisoners, mirrored thevictims chosen for MKUltra mind experimentation. The blacks were bound andgagged when they arrived in Guyana and taken to the compound to work 18 hoursa day. The links between Jonestown, MKUltra, and Nazi-style ideology are exploredby Michael Meiers in Was Jonestown A CIA Medical Experiment? A Review Of TheEvidence. He argues that Jonestown was the final field experiment of MKUltra andthat Jim Jones was a long-time CIA asset who had been secretly supported byRonald Reagan’s California administration in the years before the operation movedto Guyana. Meiers says the mind control story can be traced back at least to 1965when Jones and the People’s Temple first moved to Ukiah, California. He reports:…the group immediately infiltrated the Mendocino State Mental Hospital which wouldprovide not only test persons TPs as the Nazis called them for his Jones’spreliminary medical experiments, but also a training ground for medical techniciansneeded for the ultimate experiment. Within a very short period of time, every employeeat the hospital was a member of the People’s Temple. From nurses to therapists, fromcounsellors to cleaning women, every worker on the facility was replaced by a Templemember. California virtually gave the Mendocino State Mental Hospital to Jim Jones.2The aftermath and official explanations for the massacre were a familiar tale ofprovable lies and contradictions. The number of people reported to have been livingin Jonestown was around 1100. This was based, it would appear, on a passport count.But after the tragedy, the number of dead was given as only 400 and later 913. Asmany as 200 were ‘missing’. This is a significant figure because the elite guard aroundJim Jones numbered between 120 and 200. While the People’s Temple membershipwas predominantly black, the elite guard was overwhelmingly white. Elite guard orCIA guard? Despite the official figure of 900 dead, only 400 were found and the speculation was rife over what happened to the other 500. It was at this point,according to testimony by the military commander investigating Jonestown, that hewas told by US government official, Robert Pastor, to stop identifying the bodies.Pastor was the top aide to Zbigniew Brzezinski. Surely identification of the bodieswas essential if you really wanted to know what happened! In the days following thisorder from Brzezinski’s aide, the missing 500 bodies were miraculously found. Wherehad they been hiding, pray? I promise you I am not joking here. They were found,according to the official version, underneath the other 400! You only have to look atthe pictures of the first bodies to be found to see that there is no way they were lyingon top of another 500. But that is the official version to this day.Ladies and gentlemen, they are just laughing at us. The charred body said to bethat of Jim Jones was never properly identified and he almost certainly escapedwith the white guards. The whole thing stinks, just like the assassinations of MartinLuther King and JFK which, ‘coincidentally’, were being reinvestigated at the timeof Jonestown by a House Select Committee. One attorney, Mark Lane, hadconnections with both Jonestown and the assassination hearings. He was theattorney for the People’s Temple and for the ‘patsy’ James Earl Ray, the alleged’lone assassin’ of Dr King. Mark Lane, who has also worked for the Liberty Lobby,the publishers of The Spotlight newspaper, called the People’s Temple a paradise or.Earth. This so discredited him after Jonestown that his contention that James EarlRay was innocent was subsequently met with disdain by many.There were rumours that the People’s Temple included a death squad whichdisposed of anyone who threatened or spoke badly about the sect. The governmenthas always denied that, but Jim Jones was known to have a hit list and the leadingnames on it died violently in the months that followed the massacre. At the top ofthe list was George Moscone, the Mayor of San Francisco. He was shot dead ninedays after the tragedy. Moscone’s election campaign had been backed by substantialdonations from the People’s Temple and he had made Jim Jones the head of the SanFrancisco Housing Authority. Many of Jones’s followers were also employed by theCity Welfare Department and they used this privilege to recruit the poor andhomeless to the sect. The second name on the Jones hit list was Jenny Mills, aformer official of the People’s Temple, who wrote a book with her husband, My SixYears With God, which was extremely critical of Jones and his group. In the summerof 1979, Jenny Mills, her husband, and her daughter were shot dead at their home inBerkeley. Their murder remains unsolved. A journalist, Kathy Hunter, who hadreported the deaths of seven members who had been killed for trying to leave theoriginal headquarters compound in California, also died in strange circumstances.It is the old, old, story we have seen repeated so many times in this book. But askmost people today and if they remember the Jonestown Massacre, they will speakof religious ‘nutters’ who committed suicide while under the influence of a ‘madmessiah’ and cult leader. That is what they are supposed to think.Jonestown, the massacre, and its repercussions, served the manipulators well. Itwas a cover to train mercenaries for the CIA’s covert activities in Angola; itprovided on-the-spot political support for CIA asset, Forbes Burnham; it eliminated the CIA’s tenacious political opponent, Leo Ryan; it undermined the House SelectCommittee on Assassinations by discrediting James Earl Ray’s attorney, Mark Lane;it gave valuable information about mind control to the MKUltra Project; and itfurther poisoned the public mind to the word ‘cult’.You will find many of the elements of Jonestown in the story of Waco. On April19th 1993, more than 80 men, women, and children were burnt alive when the USgovernment, in the form of the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, andFirearms (BATF), attacked the Mount Carmel compound of the Branch Davidians,near Waco, Texas. We are asked to believe once again that this was a ‘mass suicide’by a group of crazed and brainwashed followers of a weird and dangerousmessiah’ figure, David Koresh. I could not disagree more with the views that DavidKoresh was supposed to have had (if what is claimed is true). He appears to havebeen a very mixed up man. But the focus on Koresh has been used to obscure theissue of how and why all those people died at the hands of government agencies.It is the same with all these mind-manipulating events. At the time they happen,the official version dominates the papers and the television screens. The public soakit up and overwhelmingly accept it. Then, as the weeks pass and more open-mindedresearchers begin to uncover the true background, a very different version of eventsemerges. However, the official version is communicated to a colossal audience allover the world at the height of the publicity and coverage of the event, while thetrue, or at least truer, version comes to light later when interest has died down. Themainstream media usually ignores such information and the challenge to the officialwhitewash is marginalised into books like this or in magazines selling to a relativelysmall audience. So while the alternative explanations, even proof, exists to demolishthe propaganda as a pack of lies, the mass of the people never know that this is thecase. They go on believing that what they were told in the beginning continues to bethe truth of what happened. Because of this, the vast majority of people still believethat Waco was the mass suicide of a mad cult. But was it?The BATF first used guns to attack the Branch Davidian compound on February28th 1993. This attack was ‘justified’ by official claims that the sect members hadbroken gun laws. They bought and sold guns to earn money, as many do in Texas. Idon’t understand how a religious group can buy and sell guns, or even own them,but what they did was legal. Yet here were agents of the BATF trying to shoot theirway into the compound. And, according to Ron Engleman, a presenter at KGBSRadio in Dallas, the BATF had rung the media to tell them about the raid. That’swhy the cameras were there. An investigative video called Waco: The Big Lie, wascompiled by attorney Linda Thompson, of the American Justice Federation. Again,Linda Thompson’s belief system and approach to life could not be further from myown, but if we are only going to accept the research of those we agree with oneverything, we become a dupers dream. Her video uses footage from the Februaryattack and the mass murder at the end of the 51-day siege that followed. I don’tnecessarily agree with everything the video claims and there are many questionsabout it I would like to ask, but it certainly reveals a very different version ofwhat happened. In the first attack in the February, we see four BATF men dressed in black on theMount Carmel building. They are all armed, but no shots are coming from thebuilding. Three of these men are seen to climb through a window while the fourthstays on the roof outside. When his colleagues have disappeared through thewindow, he throws in a grenade and begins to open fire in that direction. Bulletsburst through the wall from the inside. But is this the Branch Davidians returningfire or the three BATF men retaliating in response to their ‘buddy’s’ actions? Allthree of those men who entered that window were found dead, the video claimed.Why would their colleague kill them, if that was what happened? Only he knowsand since he was dressed in black with only his eyes uncovered, no-one outside ofthe authorities knows who he is. However, according to Linda Thompson, the threemen who were killed were all Bill Clinton bodyguards during his presidentialcampaign. Some mainstream journalists have denied this, but you have a right toknow that these other explanations exist.During the weeks of the siege which followed this initial raid, the official story orWaco went around the world. Not only were American minds conditioned to thenegative meaning of ‘cult’, so was anyone who read a paper or watched thetelevision anywhere on the planet. The propaganda against Koresh and the BranchDavidians was incessant. At night, the compound was floodlit to keep everyoneawake and recordings of rabbits being slaughtered were broadcast at full volume.These are the sort of minds that control Taw enforcement’ agencies like the BATF,the FBI and the CIA. Eventually, Bill Clinton and his Webb Hubbell-selectedattorney general, Janet Reno, gave permission for the action which was to cost thelives of so many innocent people. Janet Reno said the action was taken for the sakeof the children. These were the same children who were burnt alive soonafterwards. This justification of saving the children came from the claims that theDavidians were guilty of child abuse. This may or may not have been true in thecase of David Koresh, but Janet Reno has since admitted there was no evidence toprove this at the time of the massacre, and the ‘evidence’ put forward since isextremely questionable, often provably untrue.The public were not told as events in Waco unfolded, that surveillancetechnology is now extremely advanced and by using tiny cameras, sensitive soundequipment, and infra red cameras, the BATF and FBI knew exactly what washappening inside the building and where all the people were gathered. The tanksattacked the compound early on April 19th. On the Linda Thompson video, we seea tank at 6am moving back and forth over a small area at the front of the building.This, Thompson claims, was directly over the underground bunker where thewomen and children would have been sheltering at night from the floodlights andthe noise. The tank was almost certainly crushing the bunker and trapping thepeople. Why else would it have been going back and forth on the same spot? Wethen see other tanks knocking down the walls of the building and fires breaking outwhich quickly consume the complex, killing all inside. Who started the fire? It wassaid to be mass suicide, but why does it appear from the video footage that sometanks had flame throwers on the front? And why was the Parkland Hospital in Dallas called by the FBI at six o’clock that morning and asked how many beds theyhad in their burns unit?3 Again, some journalists challenge this version of events,but the public has a right to hear all sides, not just the government’s. Then they canmake up their own minds.The mind manipulators squeezed full value from this propaganda coup. DavidKoresh was compared with mass murderers of history and Waco was actuallycompared with Bosnia by Steven V. Roberts, a senior writer at US News And WorldReport.4 Unbelievable. He also asked in the article: How does a society deal with amessianic personality who resists all attempts at persuasion or pressure? Theanswer, Mr Roberts, is that they usually elect him President of the United States.Talking of which, Bill Clinton, who had sanctioned the attack, sought to justify whatfollowed by saying: There is, unfortunately, a rise in this sort of fanaticism allacross the world. We may have to confront it again. Well done, Bill. Exactly toscript. I think that State Representative, John Padfield who certainly didn’t supportthe views of the Branch Davidians, was much closer to the truth when he said:I think the BATF intentionally went way beyond their bounds to put on a huge mediashow just to demonise guns and self-sufficient people and to win favor with the newanti-gun President. I really believe the evidence will show BATF had no intention ofserving a warrant or conducting themselves in a professional manner. After all, ifKoresh was such a dangerous person, why didn’t they simply pick him up when he wentjogging or to town?5It was not the first time the deadly duo of BATF and FBI had been responsiblefor killing innocent people in a siege. There is the infamous Randy Weaver case,when 400 agents were deployed against the Weaver family in their mountain-tophome in Idaho in August 1992. Randy Weaver, a court later heard, had been set upas an agent provocateur by the BATF. The idea was to frame him on gun charges toforce him to become an informer. But he refused and eventually the FBI-BATFterrorist squad killed Weaver’s 14-year-old son as he was running away from themback to the house. They killed his wife while she was holding a baby in thedoorway, killed the family dog, and wounded Weaver himself and a friend, KevinHarris. From what I have heard, I would agree with little that Randy Weaverbelieved in, but so what? If we don’t treat all people equally, whether we agree withthem or not, we create a tyranny.In 1994, we were told of another ‘mass suicide’ by a ‘cult’ in Switzerland. Givenwhat I knew about Jonestown and Waco, I watched the coverage of the story withadded interest. When the story broke, it was a ‘mass suicide’ by followers of two’messianic’ leaders. The next day, it was suddenly a mass murder by the two leadersand an international police hunt was launched. A day or so later, one of the twoleaders was found to be among the dead. Now it was mass murder by the otherleader. Another few days passed and he was also found to be among the dead. InDecember 1995, another 16 members, or alleged members, were found shot dead inFrance. So who killed them? No-one seems to know or care, but such is the attention span and the retention of detail by newspaper readers and televisionviewers that most will have absorbed only the theme that here was another mad,bad, and dangerous cult. This lack of attention to detail by most people, in the faceof the tidal wave of information with which we are deluged every day, is a highlyeffective tool of the mind manipulators. According to Professor Massimo Introvigneat the Centre for the Study of New Religion in Turin, Italy, there are at leastcircumstantial and historical connections between the Order of the Solar Templeinvolved in the Swiss tragedy and both the French secret service and the P2Freemasonry cell.6 We have since had the accusations against a Japanese sect overthe poison gas released into the underground system and by the time you read thisthere may well have been other stories to devalue the word ‘cult’. Either thisSupreme Truth organisation is an Elite front (very possible) or it is the victim ofanti-‘cult’ propaganda. The BATF agent, Dan Curtis, summed up the game when hedefined a cult at the trial of eleven Branch Davidians as a group of people who livetogether differently from the rest of society.7 And that would never do, would it?Just as the Elite seek to destroy countries who are in danger of setting a goodexample of alternative lifestyles and economics, so they do the same with groupsliving in ways which show that the status quo is not the only option. ‘Choice’becomes ‘bad’, ‘different’ becomes ‘dangerous’.The media yet again play their role to perfection as the messenger boys and girlsof this propaganda. When the Waco story broke, I was questioned by the mediaabout my ‘cult’. I have no ‘cult’ of any kind because I don’t worship or pay homageto anything, but I was described by the Daily Record newspaper in Scotland as a ‘CultLord’, and I found a picture of myself in the paper next to that of the murderer,Charles Manson! I was on the same page as David Koresh, too. Can you believethese people who run newspapers? On the day the ‘mass suicide’ was discovered inthe Swiss community, I was asked by the supposedly ‘thinking person’s’ BBC newsprogramme, Newsnight, to be interviewed about such ‘cults’, presumably because Iwas considered by them to be a ‘cult leader’. Maybe they read the Daily Record. Talkabout barely one-dimensional! It is simply pathetic. But what a dream to have thatmedia mindset available if you are a manipulator. I am a leader of nothing, exceptmy own mind. The media ought to try it sometime. It’s wonderful.In the light of this background to the ‘cult’ tragedies, it is important that ‘cultbuster’ groups are questioned and investigated just as much as the ‘cults’ theyattack. These groups have sprung up all over the world. I can understand themotivation behind some of them because there are mind controlling sects preyingon the emotions of people, particularly the young, and many, if not most, of thesecan be linked with the intelligence agencies. They are part of problem-reactionsolution with the Elite creating or exploiting the ‘cult’ and controlling theopposition to them, the ‘cult-busters’. One of the latter is the America-based CultAwareness Network (CAN), a front for the Anti-Defamation League. GlennKrawczyk, a freelance writer and former researcher with the satellite TV scienceprogramme, Beyond 2000, has made a study of CAN, and his findings werepublished in the October-November 1994 edition of Nexus magazine.8 He found one of the prime movers behind CAN is Doctor Louis Jolyn Jolly West, who isconnected to a similar group called the American Family Foundation. West was thepsychiatrist the authorities chose to ‘analyse’ Jack Ruby in Dallas, after Ruby hadmurdered Lee Harvey Oswald, the ‘patsy’ in the Kennedy assassination. In 1973,West was Director of the University of California Neuropsychiatric Institute andchairman of the Department of Psychiatry at the University, from where came TomGrubbs, a psychologist linked to Jonestown.West proposed a Center for the Study and Reduction of Violence, at which heplanned to treat ‘undesirable behaviour’ with the latest neuropsychiatric andgenetic manipulation techniques. Goodness knows what he would have got up to,and yet he had enthusiastic support from California Governor, Ronald Reagan.Fortunately the California legislature could see what was happening and labelledthe idea, Nazi science. West knew all about that because he had been, asconfirmed by CIA records, a long-time operative on the agency’s mind controlprogrammes, including MKUltra. Dr West’s specialities include interrogation usingdeprivation techniques, hypnosis and psychoactive drugs, behaviour modificationthrough electrical stimulation of the brain, and electronic devices to track andmonitor his victims.
