PACIFIC OCEAN (Feb 20, 2008) At a single modified
tactical Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) launches from the U.S.
Navy AEGIS cruiser USS Lake Erie (CG 70), successfully

One has to be skeptical of unscientific, longdistance evaluations of individuals based solely
on uncorroborated verbal reports, often
communicated via the anonymity of e-mail.
After all, many known physical ailments such
as electrical sensitivity and fibromyalgia could
produce similiar symptoms in different people.
(71) Some painful effects may also be due to
allergic reactions and EM pollution. Any
number of people who corroborate each other's
symptoms could be suffering from what a
recent New York Times magazine article called
"culturally specific" mental illness. (72) With
suspicion about unethical government-financed
experimentation more the rule than the
exception, and widespread computer
networking by people searching for answers to
their problems, the stage is set for an epidemic
of self-diagnosed victims. How does one
separate out genuine experimentees from
people whose symptoms may have physical or
emotional causes not connected with MC at
all?
Some claims appear have more merit than
others. And a few people have named their
perpetrators as connected to private security
services, Air Force personnel, or huge military
contractors such as Raytheon (likely involved in
producing some of these weapons). For
example, Pat Mougey's tormentors appear to

Orlikow v. United States (1988)1
By Arlene Tyner
Gripping survivor-centered accounts of medical atrocities committed by CIA-funded mindcontrol (MC) researchers during the Cold War are rarely found in traditional U.S. media.2
Neither are they the subject of emotionally powerful TV docu-dramas commonly produced for
broadcast and cable television. In January 1998, the Canadian Broadcasting System (CBC)
courageously filled this void, although the blackout on government MC history is near-total in
the U.S.
The Sleep Room, a gut-wrenching four-hour miniseries, depicts the true story of Dr. Ewen
Camerons secret MKULTRA brainwashing experiments carried out in the late 50s and early
60s at Allan Memorial Institute in Montreal. Widespread publicity accompanying this major TV
event has empowered many other Canadian survivors of nonconsensual brainwashing
experiments in hospitals and prisons to come forward and seek justice in the courts.3
In Part I of the miniseries, gifted actors dramatize how vulnerable, trusting hospital patients
were transformed into virtual vegetables through doses of "electroconvulsive therapy" 30-40
times more powerful than usual, sensory deprivation, hallucinogenic and paralytic drugs, and
other psychological and physical tortures. Part II grippingly depicts the successful eight-year
U.S. lawsuit of nine survivors, who overcame fear to confront the humiliations and frustrating
delay tactics of the CIA lawyers. Joseph L. Rauh, Jr., a legendary Washington civil rights
attorney, and his partner James C. Turner eventually prevailed for their clients. In 1988, the
U.S. "national security" establishment agreed to an out-of-court settlement of $750,000.4
This extraordinary CBC drama was based on Anne Collins prize-winning 1989 book In the
Sleep Room: The Story of CIA Brainwashing Experiments in Canada. Collins exposed
Camerons 1930s-1940s history of ethically unsupportable experiments on psychiatric
patients. Many of the people methodically abused by Cameron had entered the Institute
suffering only from mild disorders such as anxiety and post-partum depression. By the time
they were released from the Sleep Room torture chamber, many had decades of memory
completely wiped out. Some did not remember their children and even had to relearn bladder
and bowel control.
A U.S. citizen since 1941, the Scottish-born Cameron resided in Albany, New York, from
which he commuted to Montreal each week. Before taking on the directorship at Allan
Memorial, which is associated with McGill University, Cameron was chair of psychiatry and
neurology at a medical school in Albany. He worked closely with Alan Gregg, medical-
sciences director of the Rockefeller Foundation, which provided grants to found the Institute in
1943.5 As director from 1943 to 1964, Cameron achieved a worldwide reputation, serving as
the first chair of the World Psychiatric Association, as well as president of the American and
Canadian psychiatric associations.
In one barely watchable scene of institutional cruelty, Cameron is filmed delivering a speech
to psychiatrists about his successes in "curing" mental illness. As he drones on, the camera
switches to scenes of terrified resisting patients being captured and restrained by doctors and
nurses, forcibly being dosed with drugs and high-voltage electroshock, then put to sleep for
weeks at a time in a room full of beds equipped with tape recorders and football helmets.
Winner in 1998 of the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Televisions Gemini Awards in best
picture and other categories, The Sleep Room touched the raw nerves of Canadian citizens.
Not only did they learn their government had been the CIAs junior consort during the Cold
War against Communism, they also discovered it had secretly granted $500,000 to fund the
Allan Memorial experiments. The CIA had only given Cameron $69,000 from 1957 to 1964.
As the lawsuit dragged on through the Reagan presidency, Rauh was forced to expose the
Canadian governments role in helping the CIA derail the lawsuit, in complete disregard for
pain and lifelong suffering of its own citizens.6 In 1992 the Canadian government coughed up
$100,000 for 76 Cameron victims. To date 127 of his patients have come forward with their
horror stories to seek compensation.
CIA psychologist John Gittinger initiated contact with Cameron after reading his article on
"Psychic Driving" in the January 1956 American Journal of Psychiatry. Gittinger persuaded
Cameron to apply to the Society for the Investigation of Human Ecology, a CIA front set up in
1955 to disburse funding for what became a huge MKULTRA network in the U.S., Canada
and overseas (in collaboration with branches of the U.S. Armed Forces). The Human Ecology
Fund (its name was changed in 1961) operated secretly out of Cornell University in New York
City.
Camerons brainwashing grant application proposed to "depattern" patient behavior through
the use of mega-doses of electroshock, to reprogram patients minds with repetitious verbal
messages 16 hours a day for six or seven days, during which time the patient would be kept
in partial sensory deprivation. Cameron called this technique "psychic driving." Brainwashing
would be completed by subjecting patients to drug-enforced continuous sleep, sometimes as
long as weeks or even months.7
The Sleep Room portrays two generations of CIA personnel as equally deadly, i.e., the 1950s
Human Ecology bureaucrats who approved the funding for what were considered "terminal"
experiments on non-U.S. nationals, and the 1980s CIA legal lords who maneuvered on
grounds of "national security" to withhold evidence of the agencys negligence and failure to
adhere to the Nuremberg Code. The callousness of the CIA scientists is aptly captured in this
fictitious dialog, where the scientists are discussing whether to fund Camerons proposal:
During this same era, U.S. psychiatric patients were also victimized. Harold Blauer, a patient
in the New York Psychiatric Institute, died in 1953 shortly after being injected with a highly
toxic dose of methyl-diamphetamine (MDA), a derivative of mescaline. Blauer had entered the
hospital suffering from depression after a divorce. He had made progress solely with the
talking cure. Blauer did not know that his psychiatrist, Paul Hoch, was a CIA consultant
secretly under contract with the Armys Edgewood Arsenal chemical/biological warfare lab.
This contract was negotiated through the New York State Department of Mental Hygiene,
which allowed trusting hospital patients to be used as part of the Armys search for "potential
chemical warfare agents."
The MDA was not administered for any therapeutic reason. Blauer was scheduled to be
released from the hospital in a few weeks. His objections to the series of injections, which
were causing him great pain and discomfort, were overridden by manipulative hospital
personnel. Blauer was threatened before the fourth nonfatal dose that if he didnt give his
consent, he would be moved out of the Institute to hospital settings that displeased him. The
fourth dose caused a violent reaction. The fifth killed him. The Army began its cover-up
immediately, the sordid details of which are recounted in the 1987 court decision awarding the
Blauer estate $707,044. The court affixed blame for Blauers needless death totally on the
U.S. government.12
The Blauer case reveals a direct lineage between Nazi research projects and the MKULTRA
program. Mescaline was tested on concentration camp inmates during the Third Reichs
search for a "truth serum."13 These and other Nazi experiments were intensively studied by
U.S. military scientists in occupied Germany. Under the CIAs Operation Paperclip, 1600
German and Austrian scientists were secretly brought to the U.S. Some had worked for I.G.
Farben perfecting Zyclon-B gas for the extermination of Jews and other doomed prisoners.
Many were being investigated for war crimes when they were rescued by a government intent
on using their knowledge and expertise in the Cold War against the Communist Eastern Bloc.
Hundreds of chemists and other scientists were given jobs at Edgewood Arsenal, which
supplied the drugs, chemicals and poisons for the CIAs counterespionage and assassination
programs during the Korean and Vietnam wars, as well as covert interventions in the affairs of
many Third World nations.14
Though the Cold War is over, the U.S. military/CIA bureaucracies still invoke "national
security" and "plausible deniability" to hide a vast arsenal of sophisticated mind-control and
psychological warfare technology.15 All of these weapons had to be perfected by means of
human experimentation. Psychiatrist Colin Ross found that many areas of brain research
heading in the direction of MC suddenly went "black" in the 1960s.16 His long-awaited
book, Building the Manchurian Candidate: Deliberate Creation of Multiple Personality by
Psychiatrists, will soon be published.
A hint about mind-control research first surfaced in the aftermath of the 1963 assassination of
President John F. Kennedy. When J. Edgar Hoover testified before the Warren Commission in
1964, he raised the possibility President Kennedy had been killed by a programmed assassin
dispatched by the Soviet Union. Alarmed, the Commission requested the CIA to produce
information on Soviet brainwashing. The resultant CIA memo (so controversial it wasnt
declassified until 1974) cryptically asserted the Soviets did not have any MC techniques or
drugs "not available in the West."17 However, neither Hoover nor the CIA told the Commission
that the U.S. had an operational program of Manchurian Candidates up and running since
World War II!18
The term "brainwashing" was first coined in 1950 by Edward Hunter, a CIA employee
operating undercover as a journalist, purportedly to explain how American POWs in Korea
were being coerced into confessing they used biological weapons.19Newspapers played up
fears that the Soviets, the Chinese and North Koreans were using a secret psychological
weapon against allied soldiers. This "brainwashing" scare was a successful CIA
disinformation strategy used to build support for an unpopular war.20 It also helped insulate
military and university researchers from accountability for violating medical ethics and criminal
laws.
The prevailing anticommunist hysteria that grew to justify the MKULTRA program and its
unambiguous violations of the Hippocratic Oath, the Nuremberg Code and many international
human-rights covenants was aptly summarized in 1954 by former President Herbert Hoover:
It is now clear we are facing an implacable enemy whose avowed objective is world
domination.... There are no rules in such a game. Hitherto accepted norms of human conduct
do not apply.... If the United States is to survive, long-standing American concepts of fair play
must be reconsidered... We must learn to subvert, sabotage and destroy our enemies by
more clever, more sophisticated, more effective methods than those used against us.21
The MKULTRA program began with a proposal by Richard Helms, then the CIAs Assistant
Deputy Director for Plans, to fund "highly sensitive" research and development using
chemical/ biological substances to alter human behavior. It was approved by CIA Director
Allen Dulles on April 13, 1953 and was overseen by chemist Sidney Gottlieb, chief of the
CIAs Technical Services Division (TSD). The first MC programs, called Bluebird and
Artichoke, were subsumed under the MKULTRA umbrella. This program came to embrace an
octopus-like network with names like MK-Search (1963-1973), MK-Delta and MK-Naomi
(assassination programs carried out by the Army 1953-1970).22 Between 1953 and 1963 the
TSD operated 149 subprojects in 80 U.S. and Canadian universities and medical centers, and
three prisons, involving 185 private researchers, 15 foundations and numerous
pharmaceutical companies.23
In 1973, with the Watergate scandal looming, outgoing CIA Director Helms ordered all
MKULTRA records destroyed. He testified before the Senates Church Committee two years
later that Gottlieb:
"...came to me and said that he was retiring and I was retiring and he thought it would be a
good idea if these files were destroyed. And I also believe part of the reason for our thinking
this was advisable was there had been relationships with outsiders in government agencies
and other organizations and these would be sensitive in this kind of thing but that since the
program was over and finished and done with, we thought we would just get rid of the files as
well, so that anybody who assisted us in the past would not be subject to follow-up questions,
embarrassment, if you will."24
Fortunately, 8,000 pages of mainly financial data escaped the CIA shredder, and
were declassified pursuant to a Freedom of Information lawsuit in the 1970s
filed by the Center for National Security Studies. Though woefully incomplete,
these documents nevertheless became the bedrock of John Marks
groundbreaking 1978 book, The Search for the "Manchurian Candidate": The
CIA and Mind Control.25
All branches of the military sponsored MC research in collaboration with the CIA.26 Most
civilian subjects were unwitting; even CIA employees and Army recruits who consented to
drug and hypnosis experiments were not properly informed as to their dangers. MKULTRA
clearly violated the Nuremberg Code requirement that subjects give "informed consent" to
participate in scientific research: "This means that the person involved should have the legal
capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice,
without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other
form of constraint or coercion." This Code was established in 1948 by the same U.S. Military
Tribunal that tried 24 Nazi doctors for deadly experiments on concentration camp inmates. It
was binding on the U.S. as of February 26, 1953.27
How do we explain the hundreds of thousands of human guinea pigs callously sacrificed
during the Cold War?28 As Paperclip researcher Linda Hunt concluded, "...we used Nazi
science to kill our own people."29 Perhaps survivor stories can help us understand what went
wrong and why our secular democracy allows huge bureaucracies of unsupervised,
supersecret warriors guided only by the cult-like religion of "national security" and the
obsessive search for "enemies of the state." The death of communism as a military threat has
not dented the religious zeal that still inspires the military/intelligence establishment.
James Stanley, a career soldier, suffered soul murder as an Army lab rat. He was given LSD
in 1958 without being warned of its dangers, as were 1000 other "volunteer" soldiers. Stanley
suffered hallucinations, memory loss, incoherence, and a negative personality change. Fits of
uncontrollable violence destroyed his family, and restricted his ability to earn a living. And he
never knew why until 1975, when the Army invited him to participate in a follow-up study on
"volunteers who participated" in LSD testing. In United States vs. Stanley,30 the Supreme
Court majority decided against Stanleys claim for damages. However, Justices Brennan,
Marshall and OConnor dissented, asserting their belief that the Nuremberg Codes standard
of informed consent applies to soldiers as well as civilians. In 1996 James Stanley finally
wrangled a $400,000 settlement from the government, but no apology for having ruined his
life.31
Unacknowledged civilian wreckage from unimaginably cruel brainwashing experiments
continues to bob to the surface from a vast sea of still-classified, cold-war experiments.
Survivors of ghoulish medical tortures or the families of deceased victims are turning up in
Canadian and U.S. courtrooms today demanding compensation for a lifetime of suffering.
Some Canadian plaintiffs appear to have a slight advantage over their U.S. cousins, who are
severely hampered by the 1973 Helms/Gottlieb destruction of MKULTRA records. Fortunately
for these survivors, paper trails are being unearthed in government, hospital and prison
archives. The eminently freer Canadian press also helps build public support for MC
survivors lawsuits.32
Gail Kastner, now in her 60s, did not discover Ewen Camerons experiments were the cause
of her "wasted life" until reading a newspaper story in the Montreal Gazette in 1992. She sued
the Canadian government and Montreals Royal Victoria Hospital in 1999 after the
government rejected her claim for damages. A "brilliant student whose domineering father
checked her into the institute for depression," Kastner says that Camerons electroconvulsive
"depatterning" treatments and insulin-induced comas for five weeks at a time are responsible
for a life of screaming nightmares, recurring seizures, loss of memory, and long-term
regression to an infantile state. Her husband, son and twin sister could not tolerate her bizarre
behavior, i.e. "wetting the living-room carpet, thumb-sucking, babytalk and wanting to be
bottlefed." Abandoned by her own family, she was rescued from homelessness by the Jewish
Family Service.33
During the era of Camerons brainwashing regimens, psychiatrists and psychologists in other
Canadian institutions were using similar methods to "treat" people haphazardly diagnosed
with depression, schizophrenia or, in prisons, what was perceived as "antisocial" conduct.
Dorothy Proctor was a rebellious 17-year-old when she entered the Prison for Women in
Kingston, Ontario on a three-year term for robbery. Primed first with sensory deprivation and
electroshock, she was administered LSD in 1961 by a prison psychologist, then locked into
"The Hole" to endure what for her was "Dantes Inferno."
Proctor, a Native and Black Canadian from Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, calls this "mind
rape." She says she was singled out for such "Nazi-style science" because she had twice
escaped from the prison, bringing unfavorable publicity to the authorities there. Proctor
asserts that the steady prison diet of LSD and other experimental drugs led her down the path
to drug addiction for 24 years. After publishing Chameleon: The Life of Dorothy Proctor in
1994, this articulate and determined woman launched a complaint with the Corrections
Service of Canada (CSC), saying she suffered permanent brain damage and hallucinations
haunting her to the present day.
"I was reduced to a lab rat, a monkey in a cage," she told the Ottawa Citizen (7/21/98), which
has been covering the Proctor and other Canadian human experimentation cases for a
number of years. A government inquiry turned up documentation (including clinical notes) that
Proctor was not the only victim of involuntary prison experimentation 1960-1963. At least 23
other women prisoners were also used as human guinea pigs. Only four of these women
have been found to date. And instead of complying with the CSCs recommendation of an
apology and financial compensation to Proctor, the Canadian government commissioned an
"ethics study" at McGill University. Meanwhile Proctor hired lawyer James Newland and filed
suit for $5 million in damages from the Canadian government, George Scott, MD, the prison
psychiatrist, and Mark Eveson, a psychologist affiliated with Queens University.34
While the emotional shock of The Sleep Room still electrified Canadian airways,
the Ottawa Citizen published an expose drawn from interviews, archives,
scientific journals and correspondence between doctors and prison officials. It
found that hundreds of federal prisoners throughout Canada were used for
Moss-Sharman has been organizing support for federal prisoner Richard Carlson, who filed a
civil claim in October 1998. Carlson says his use in covert brainwashing experiments from
1968 to 1974 in several Kingston-area prisons caused a lifelong psychiatric disability.
According to Moss-Sharman, the authorities retaliated against Carlson going public about the
prison brainwashing experiments. They unsuccessfully tried to change his status to
"dangerous offender," which would have carried a mandatory life sentence for the bank
robbery charge, which he is also appealing.
Three people connected to Carlson have died under mysterious circumstances since he
launched his brainwashing claim. They include Tony Vaitelis, the second male inmate to make
claims similar to Carlsons, an unnamed former hospital orderly and potential witness to
prison brainwashing, and Carlsons 30-year-old son. Moss-Sharman says Carlson is
dangerous to Correctional Services Canada because he can name the inmates who died
during the prison experiments and can describe what happened in the experimental units.41
"Insulin shock therapy" was frequently used on Ewen Camerons patients at Allan Memorial.
In 1999 the widow of Yuan Woo (Jean-Paul Martineau), a former Royal Canadian Air Force
radar technician, went public with the story of how her deceased husband had been the
unwitting subject of "insulin shock therapy" experiments in Queen Marys Veterans Hospital in
1953. Martineau curiously changed his name to "Juan Woo" after being discharged. As a
result of medical mistreatment, Ms. Woo says, her husband developed such a morbid fear of
physicians, he postponed going to the doctor until he was near death from cancer in 1996.42
In the U.S., MC survivors and their families are hard-pressed to secure files documenting their
claims, if indeed such records escaped the shredder years ago. Since 1985 all litigants have
been hampered by C.I.A. vs. Sims,43 a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision that
undergirds the CIAs refusal to name its contract institutions and individual researchers on
grounds of "national security."44 Only 59 CIA/military contract institutions and a handful of
researchers consented to be publicly named in the 1970s when the MKULTRA program was
exposed.
The most well-publicized U.S. victim of the MKULTRA experiments is Frank Olson, a
biochemist who worked at the Army Chemical Corps Special Operations Division at Ft.
Detrick, in Frederick, Maryland. On November 18, 1953, Olson was given a drink of Cointreau
secretly laced with LSD. He immediately became agitated and severely paranoid, a condition
that lasted for days. Olson was said to have committed suicide nine days later by jumping 13stories to his death through the closed window of a New York hotel. Members of his family did
not learn he had been drugged until 1975 when the MKULTRA behavior-control program was
exposed. They later received an apology from President Gerald Ford and a $750,000
settlement.
However, after studying documents declassified in later years, Eric Olson believed his father
may have been pushed out the window. He had the body exhumed in 1994. A group of private
forensic researchers announced on the 41th anniversary of Olsons death that both forensic
and other evidence were "starkly suggestive of homicide."45 A second skull fracture (missed
in the initial autopsy) means Olson may have been hit on the head before his body went
through the window. Also the lack of cuts on Olsons body would appear to rule out the official
CIA story of his "suicide."46 Armond Pastore, the hotel night manager who kneeled beside
the dying Olson back in 1953, said, "I never heard of anybody jumping through a closed
window with the blind down."47 Last year a New York grand jury was looking at this new
evidence.48
The first CIA brainwashing case to go before a jury took place in 1999. I learned about this
civil trial through two articles in the Philadelphia Inquirer.49 This civil trial centered on the
tragic life of up-and-coming artist Stanley Glickman, who says that in 1952 in a Paris cafe,
MKULTRA czar Sidney Gottlieb had brought him a drink laced with LSD. Gottlieb denied
doing this, despite admitting he had spiked the drinks of other unsuspecting people in the
1950s. Glickman suffered a psychological breakdown from which he never recovered. After
collapsing he was rushed to American Hospital where he claimed doctors there administered
electroshock therapy "via a catheter up his penis" as well as more hallucinogenic drugs.50
After learning about the CIAs LSD experiments on unwitting subjects in the 1970s, Glickman
sued in 1983. His identification of Gottlieb was based on remembering that the strange man in
the bar had a club foot. Using the same delay-and-attrition tactics heaped on the nine elderly
Canadians in Orlikow, the CIA was able to delay the trial for 16 years. Glickman died in 1992
but his sister Gloria Kronisch continued the lawsuit. Dominick L. DiCarlo, a conservative chief
judge "on loan" from the U.S. Court of International Trade in New York City, presided.
What happened next will some day be the stuff of high drama in a Sleep Room-type teleplay
exposing the CIAs 50-year history of crimes against humanity. Finally being called to account
in a courtroom for overseeing a quarter-century of U.S.-style Nazi science, Gottlieb becomes
ill, causing postponement of the February trial. On the eve of the March date, he
unexpectedly dies. Both the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times obituaries report
that the Gottlieb family refuses to disclose the cause of his death. The online WorldNet Daily,
however, reports that Gottlieb, 80, died after a "month-long bout with pneumonia." According
to this story, he was admitted to the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesburg on
February 14, and "lapsed into a coma" on March 5 "from which he never recovered."51
Are we overly paranoid to suspect the CIA of foul play here? Did life boomerang on the aged
Dr. Strangelove? Was this enthusiastic harvester of exotic poisons and inventor of bizarre
assassination delivery systems somehow silenced by same to prevent his spilling the CIAs
dirty secrets in a court of law?52
Anyway, the trial goes forward in late March, with the Glickman estate suing the Gottlieb
estate (the claims against Helms and the CIA had been thrown out). As the lawyers near their
final summations, Judge DiCarlo, 71, suddenly drops dead of a heart attack while exercising
in a federal gym located next to the court. His New York Times obituary makes no mention of
the controversial CIA trial (nor does the Times even cover the trial).53 However, the New York
Daily News, with more guts and pizzazz, reports that DiCarlos death "created a surreal scene
as paramedics and a priest called to give last rites mingled with jurors preparing to decide one
of the strangest cases being heard in the city."54 Goosebumps and paranoia strike again.
Was this Reagan-appointed judge a victim of the CIAs long-rumored, untraceable method of
inducing heart attacks? Or was it the stress of a CIA trial that killed him?
Almost on cue, Federal Judge Kimba Wood was assigned to take DiCarlos place, a move
prejudicial to the plaintiff since she had thrown out this case in 1997. The Second Circuit
Court of Appeals reinstated the lawsuit in 1998.55 After closing arguments, the jury
deliberated for seven hours before ruling against the Glickman estate.
But the evidence of foul play goes way beyond the spiking of Glickmans drink.
His Paris hospital records show that two of his doctors had been engaged in
LSD research at the time. Also, CIA files from 1952 reveal a special interest in
the heightened effect of LSD on people with hepatitis. One of Glickmans
American Hospital doctors had previously treated him for hepatitis, making this
once-promising young artist "the ideal guinea pig."56

Dear FRONTLINE,
I've been following news articles re: Nazi Gold but your documentary will still shocking. I hope
you will continue to update PBS viewers as more information unfolds. In all fairness, you
should include stories of courageous Swiss people who shielded or saved Jews or opposed
the bankers' collaboration with the Nazis.
Even though Switzerland was not an occupied country, weren't there organizations who
resisted what was going on? The video mentions the trains of Jews and slave laborers going
through the country at night. Was there no organized protest? How influential was the Swiss
Jewish community at the time? The documentary brings to mind Hannah Arendt's phrase
about the "banality of evil." For Swiss nationals to oppose the evils of that time would risk
ostracism at the least, and death at the worst. The same mechanisms operated here in our
own country during the 1950s witch-hunts. Those who spoke out or resisted totalitarians
acting under cover of Congress and the federal government saw their careers destroyed. Two
American Jews, Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were executed during the hysteria. People who
resisted the government's story they were atom spies and believed in the Rosenbergs'
innocence often saw their careers derailed via red-baiting (guilt by association). We in this
country have our own cross to bear in accommodating to totalitarians with political power.

Declassified information on atomic espionage from KGB sources and the NSA/CIA is
contradictory. Their claims deserve healthy skepticism and a more sophisticated analysis that
considers the purposeful ambiguity and doublespeak of intelligence operations. Aging ex-KGB
agents, unable to live on their meager pensions, put food on their plates by selling verbal
information to American media outlets. Yet none has produced actual files documenting the
Rosenbergs as Soviet spies.
The NSA's Venona decryptions are human interpretations subject to error. None of the
intercepted Soviet cables released by the NSA was fully decrypted and translated. Venona
intercepts consist of incomplete sentences and paragraph fragments revised numerous times
over a 30-year period. Moreover, the identification of real people from Soviet code names
admittedly involved guesswork. The FBI has never revealed how and when it plugged the
Rosenbergs into raw decryptions.
But Gorin evidently believes in the literal truth of the Venona decrypts, which say that Ethel
was not a spy and the man the NSA claims is Julius was a non-atomic spy. Therefore, the
refusal of the Rosenbergs to confess to a crime they didn't commit was neither a "sacrifice"
for a "failed idea" nor a betrayal of their country or their children. In simple terms, it was the
most honorable thing to do.

James Webb. In a blistering speech given at the Naval Academy, the blunt-speaking
Vietnam veteran tore into Boorda for many of the Navy's ills.
"Some (Navy leaders) are guilty of the ultimate disloyalty. To save or advance their careers,
they have abandoned the very ideals of their profession in order to curry favor with
politicians."
We might add here, the snub-nosed Webb knows all about "currying favor with politicians" of
both parties. Originally a Democrat, he became a Republican and served one turbulent year
as Secretary of the Navy in Ronald Reagan's administration. In recent years, we have seen
him flip-flop back to the Democrats and compile a voting record as senator from Virginia that
largely supports the programs of leftist President Barack Hussein Obama.
Webb's verbal assault and a vitriolic unsigned letter run in the Navy TIMES, may have
annoyed Boorda, but a man with his strength of character doesn't usually take the coward's
way out of committing suicide and at the same time, damaging the Navy he loved all his life.
