Survivor Article

The following article is from Carol. She can be reached at: casey@dmci.net Please use caution while reading. It may be very triggering for survivors of gov=t connected abuse. Please note: all accusations are alleged.

Over the years there has been an attempt by the mainstream media, to discredit the survivors of childhood experimentation during the Cold war. Those of us who have undergone these experiments, survived and are attempting to heal from the physical and emotional impact; have been portrayed as either having these memories implanted in us by our therapists, or just plain being delusional and looking for notoriety.

As an alleged survivor of CIA programs Bluebird/Artichoke (1) and MKULTRA, I began my intense search to document some of the mind control experiments that I was made part of starting at the tender age of four. Through a series of FOIA’s to various departments of the government, I have amassed an incredible amount of material that validates my personal experiences. I have also found pictures of machines that were used in these experiments that match drawings I made during my healing process (2).

I believe that the Department Chief of the Technical Services Division of the CIA, bought my services from my grandfather in 1952. Due to the results of a psychological profile which was done while my dad was in the brig during WW2, the government determined that he was holding some very dark secrets. As John Gittinger would later prove with Wechslers of sexual psychopaths (3), so called normals have different personality patterns than people with uncontrollable urges. Consequently, they assumed our family was ripe for blackmail. That fateful day in July, it was decided that in exchange for a considerable sum of money and freedom from prosecution for allegedly making and transporting child pornography across state lines; I would become the governments’ little experiment.

I believe the CIA was looking for children who had the ability to disassociate from reality (4). They were about to determine if I would be a proper candidate for future experiments. I proved to be everything they wanted and more. Over the next twelve years, I believe I was tested, trained and used in various ways. Electroshock, drugs, hypnosis and other types of trauma were used to make me compliant and split my personality even further.

Beginning at the age of six, I believe my grandfather started training a part of me in sexual finesse. Later, they used an apartment with two way mirrors where I believe films were taken with high level government politicians. Sex with kids, wasn’t something you wanted leaked to the press, so these men had no choice than to become pawns in a larger game of chess. My psychic abilities were honed to be used for psychic assassination. I cannot tell you if I was ever successful, only that I remember being trained.

On December 17, 1999 I turned 52 years old and received 3 CDROMs from the CIA, in response to my FOIA request. Forty-eight years after I was first experimented on, I believe I found solid proof of my memories; proof that was in the government vaults of declassified documents under Subproject 136 of MKULTRA (5).One of the experimental studies the research team focused on was the exploration of the postulated abilities of a few specially gifted subjects. The document states “that in working with individual subjects, special attention will be given to disassociative states, which tend to accompany spontaneous ESP experiences. Such states can be induced and controlled to some extent with hypnosis and drugs … The data used in the study will be obtained from special groups such as psychotics, children and mediums…”

The document continues, “Learning studies will be instituted in which the subject will be rewarded or punished for his overall performance and reinforced in various ways – by being told whether he was right, by being told what the target was, with electric shock etc.” The proposal then goes on to say, “In other cases drugs and psychological tricks will be used to modify his attitudes. The experimenters will be particularly interested in disassociative states, from the abaissement de niveau mental to multiple personality in so-called mediums, and an attempt will be made to induce a number of states of this kind, using hypnosis.” The government had finally handed me the validation I had been searching for. To say my heart stopped that day, is almost true.

For some, no proof will be enough. For others, like myself, unraveling the bizarre nature of my memories has allowed me to regain control of my life. My greatest gift of healing has been to no longer operate out of fear, but from a rational, logical based reality. Choices to live, to love and to create that were taken from me through the fragmentation of my mind, can now be explored.

As I continue to heal, I will attempt through the writing and publishing of my story, to make the plight of thousands like myself known to the public. God speed your healing, too.

Springtime – anonymous 2000

Happy Children play among the new flowers, angels watching overhead

in the tall, wild grass of spring

Water Art – anonymous 1999

When we put our feet in a tub of water on the sidewalk,

we can make artwork

with our feet and hands

On the sidewalk we can make designs

Creative efforts are fun.

Building Bridges:

I began my life building bridges over the flames of fire.

I walk the fine line, and I am sick of crying.

The deep blue sea keeps the flames at bay.

Hoping under each bridge they will stay.

My tears have turned to the deep blue sea.

Many years of pain, I can’t understand how I stay so sane.

Building bridges every day, a tough job when the flames of fire won’t go away.

I may die along the way, but we all will someday.

The flames of fire burn me to a crisp, and my bones crack as I walk along the way.

Building bridges every day.

Until the flames take them away.

Thirty years old, and I have not lived yet.

Been too busy building, to even enjoy.

Often, I feel like a broken toy, the toy nobody wants.

My eyes cry, and the deep blue sea becomes dark and the depression rests inside of me.

The silence so thick, it makes me sick.

One more day, when the week seems too hard to bear.

When the clock has struck the hour, I begin to build at forty miles per hour.

Building fast, trying to make each bridge last.

But, I must keep the faith, and forget the past.

Building bridges every day, hoping one will last.

Right here is where I need to stay, even if all my bridges have passed away.

There is hope that lays in each new day.

I look at the clock and another day has gone away, I put my head down and cry, “Oh Lord why!”

Inside of myself I must build another wall, to protect myself,

when my next bridge falls.

I lay my head upon a soft pillow, just a lonely weeping willow.

Sherry Ann Mary Byron.

Ground Lost: The False Memory/Recovered Memory Therapy Debate, by Alan Scheflin, Psychiatric Times 11/99, Vol. XVI Issue 11, ADoes repressed memory exist? Although courts and legislatures use the term repressed memory, the proper term is dissociative amnesia. This is the definition that appears in the DSM-IV, section 300.12: “Dissociative amnesia is characterized by an inability to recall important personal information, usually of a traumatic or stressful nature, that is too extensive to be explained by ordinary forgetfulness.”

AThe appearance in the DSM-IV indicates that the concept of repressed memory is generally accepted in the relevant scientific community. This satisfies courts following the Frye v United States, 293 F.1013 (1923) or Daubert v Merrell Dow Pharmaceutical, 113 S. Ct. 2786 (1993) rules regarding the admissibility of scientific testimony into evidence in court.@

And AAlthough the science is limited on this issue, the only three relevant studies conclude that repressed memories are no more and no less accurate than continuous memories (Dalenberg, 1996; Widom and Morris, 1997; Williams, 1995). Thus, courts and therapists should consider repressed memories no differently than they consider ordinary memories.@ At http://www.mhsource.com/pt /p991137.html

APA’s journal “Psychology, Public Policy, and Law,” (1998, Vol. 4, No. 4, 1182-1197) “The case of Paul Ingram, a man who pleaded guilty to sexually abusing his daughters, has received widespread media attention. Richard Ofshe (1992, 1994) set forth a narrative of the case which included his account of an experiment to test the veracity of Ingram’s confessions and concluded that the inadvertent use of hypnosis during Ingram’s interrogation resulted in the creation of pseudomemories that convinced Ingram of his guilt. On the basis of an examination of the original source documents, the authors discusses the errors of fact, methodological flaws, and confounding factors in Ofshe’s rendering of this case of alleged child abuse. They also cite examples of the extent to which Ofshe’s imperfect narrative of this case and pseudoscientific conclusions have been uncritically accepted and repeated in the literature…” For hard copy reprints, send your mailing address to the senior author at kolio@home.com
