Back in the early 90's, I once owned this book, and quite a few more others simulare to this one. After a misshap, all of them were destroied, and so I have spent the last 12 yrs searching high and low to replace them all. I found this one on half, and almost lost my mind. i could not believe the price, and purchased it right away. I am so very pleased to have it again. I am still on the search of just a few more, to recomplete my collections, and I am not going to give up. Thank you, hope you find this book worth it too. Toi

Scope of the Work
Helpful Votes: 0 out of 0 total.
Review Date: 2008-02-09
The author summarizes this work as follows: the objective of this work is to "inform the general reader what Indian tribes occupied the territory of his State and to add enough data to indicate the place they occupied among the tribal groups of the continent and the part they played in the early period of our history and the history of the States immediately to the north and south of us. It attempts to be rather a gazetteer of present knowledge than a guide to the attainment of more knowledge."

Indeed, this is a "gazetteer" type reference. Each State in the U.S. is covered as well as regions of Canada, Mexico, Central America and the West Indies including: Haiti, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Jamaica.

An outline is fleshed out for categories about the tribes associated with each geographic region. This information was extracted from historical records recorded by colonists, explorers and exploiters, and scholars; therefore, the scope of study begins in the 1500's for some regions and as late as 1700's for others. The outline includes: TRIBES associated with that region; [linguistic] CONNECTIONS to other tribes; LOCATION of places inhabited (described by modern-day towns, rivers and landmarks); SUBDIVISIONS (tribes that divided from these main-heading tribes that were described in greater detail); VILLAGES (names and approximate locations); HISTORY (includes mention of historical accounts recorded by colonists, historians, and scholars but this is very sketchy information, providing little more that a sentence to tell about conflicts or interactions with other tribes or settlers, treaties signed and broken, relocation to reservations, decimation factors such as disease, loss of land, wars, etc.); POPULATION (based on census records as well as records left by explorers, and so on. It links decimated populations to wars and disease when possible); CONNECTION IN WHICH THEY HAVE BEEN NOTED (might include wars; size and/or power; individuals whose name is well-known; cultural recognition-- carvings, ceremonies, tools, etc.; names of counties, towns, rivers, and other landmarks with which this tribe is associated).

For what it is, this is an excellent resource; however, this is not an in-depth history of tribes. (How COULD it be? It's already 726 pages long!) It is an in-depth overview of tribes inhabiting these regions over the course of a few hundred years. My only disappointment is that Swanton failed to mention some rather landmark events (Sioux uprising in 1863, for example). The author does note that another text, Cultural and Natural Areas of Native North America," written by Professor Kroeber, "aims to... review the environmental relations of the native cultures of North America"... and to "examine the historic relations of the culture areas, or geographical units of cultures." Kroeber's text is written for the college student, not the layman.

This is the definitive one-volume guide to the Indian tribes of North America, and it covers all groupings such as nations, confederations, tribes, subtribes, clans, and bands. It is a vast and impressive digest of all Indian groups and their historical locations throughout the continent. Formatted as a dictionary, or gazetteer, and organized by state, it includes all known tribal groupings within the state and the many villages where they were located.

Using the year 1650 to determine the general location of most of the tribes, Swanton has drawn four over-sized fold-out maps, each depicting a different quadrant of North America and the location of the various tribes therein, including not only the tribes of the United States, Canada, Greenland, Mexico, and Central America, but the Caribbean islands as well. According to the author, the gazetteer and the maps are "intended to inform the general reader what Indian tribes occupied the territory of his State and to add enough data to indicate the place they occupied among the tribal groups of the continent and the part they played in the early period of our history. . . ."

Accordingly, the bulk of the text includes such facts as the origin of the tribal name and a brief list of the more important synonyms; the linguistic connections of the tribe; its location; a brief sketch of its history; its population at different periods; and the extent to which its name has been perpetuated geographically. As far as possible each tribe, or group, is treated as an independent entity, but the work as a whole forms an absolutely comprehensive picture of the Indian tribes of North America, and leaves no question unanswered about any tribal grouping, big or small.

Along with the bibliography and index, and the imprimatur of its original publisher, the Smithsonian Institution's Bureau of American Ethnology, Swanton's book is an authoritative digest of the Indian tribes of North America, and it is the one book that you'll need as a desk reference in your Native American research.

It has become fashionable for politicians to ridicule government spending and waste. Certainly there are occasions when employees have squandered funds on research, but in the early days of our republic such was not the case.

This book, combined with the two-part HANDBOOK OF AMERICAN INDIANS (Bulletin 30 issued by The Bureau of American Ethnology) are great compilations that could only have been funded by the federal government. In dollars and cents no private concern could expect a fair return on their investment that would have been necessary to get the results that was accomplished.

You will have to search long to find the books. Amazon might be of much help. I, however, found my copies at Powell's Books in Portland, Oregon.

Contrary to many depictions by Hollywood, many American pioneers fought to defend the rights of Native Americans. Much of America wept for many of the dispossessed peoples - there were fewer of the vigilante types than you would suppose.

I am using these books to compile a web site in Acrobat but expect this project to take a couple years. While you wait, beg, borrow or steal all three books if you want to get a solid, unbiased understanding of the lifestyles of a forgotten people - Bill Anderson.

Timeless Example of An Every-day Struggle
Helpful Votes: 6 out of 7 total.
Review Date: 2000-01-08
Gregorio Lopez y Fuentes' 1937 novel 'El Indio' is not another politically correct version of what Western Europeans 'did to' the indigenous population of this hemisphere. Instead, it puts the reader in the middle of a clash of cultures, one that is repeated daily around the world to this day. Lopez y Fuentes moves readers to scream, 'How can they DO that?' or 'Why don't they just TALK to each other?' As we know, however, resolving cultural misunderstandings is never that easy despite the tragedies that fall out of faulty assumptions about what constitutes 'civilization' and 'progress,' as well as what happens when -- consciously or not -- people simply choose not to communicate. The deep backdrop is the time circa the Mexican Revolution, but Lopez y Fuentes suggests that the more things change for indigenous peoples in the modern world, the more they stay the same. Some specific historical background may be helpful, but it is not necessary. Since Lopez y Fuentes uses no character names or place names, one could read 'El Indio' as a generic story of a people and what happens to that people as a result of centuries of subjugation, racism, ethnocentrism, basic cultural assumptions, and a general disagreement about the 'nature' part of 'human nature.' Thoughful readers will use Lopez y Fuentes' account as a departure point to look at their own culture and cultural assumptions about 'backward' peoples around the world. A bonus: Full-page and cover illustrations by famous Mexican artist Diego Rivera.

This novel is a fictional account of true events. Every crime mentioned really happened. Lopez y Fuentes writes this book as a "composite novel" -- the time and location of the events, as well as names of individuals, are not named. Accompanied by illustrations by Diego Rivera, one of Mexico's most prestigious artists, this novel presents several years in the life of the descendents of the Aztecs.

Review Date: 2002-05-22
A great little book that captures the simplicity of a culture caught up in the upheavals of modern civilization and it's encroaching values. Although the Indios described are from Mexico the theme of indigenous people and the clash between civilzations is universal and continues to this day. The suggested time frame is pre-conquest to the present(1937) and the language is one that reflects a simpler place in time. Not one character is named in this outstanding novel but the identification still exists with all those unnamed individuals. Along with Mariano Azuela's "Los de Abajo" ("The Underdogs"), this short novel is considered one of the best in Mexican literature. Without lavish and extravagant language the images are portrayed magnificently, quite possibly the simplicity of language is used to drive home the point. One of the most interesting aspects of this book is the inclusion of Nahuatl to describe certain cultural activities or aspects of the civilization. This works quite well with the inclusion of footnotes and adds a dimension of realism and authenticity to the novel that would probably be lost if they were not included. In this regard the book both educates and entertains. Of particular interest is the introduction of the closest thing to a character when the author describes The Nahual, or the supernatural being who can transform himself to any animal at will. Anyone interested in Mexican history, indigenous culture or the perspective of the Indio lifestyle and the inherent conflict created by European values would enjoy this book. As mentioned by another reviewer, an addional bonus are the numerous Diego Rivera illustrations throughout the book. The drawings have a cartoon coloring book style from early on in the master Mexican muralists career. I would also recommend this book for educators from the middle school level on especially if they are teaching something relating to Mexican life. This is a very entertaining book that can be read quite quickly.

I think I need "Lie Groups for Toddlers"
Helpful Votes: 0 out of 0 total.
Review Date: 2008-05-10
This book, by physicist Harry Lipkin, was intended as a quick introduction to Lie Groups to other physicists like himself working in the mid 1960's. At that time, many physicists had a sophisticated mathematical skill-set, but not one that included Lie Groups and Algebras, nor understood to the degree it is understood today how much it helps to think along those lines. Dr. Lipkin wanted to spread the knowledge of Lie Groups to physicists would would benefit from it.

As such, a "pedestrian" would be expected to be familiar with the then-current formulations of quantum theory, including the matrix and operator representations of quantum mechanics, as well as all the calculus necessary to work those theories. This is evident in chapter 1, where on page 2 section 1.1 is titled "Review of Angular Momentum Algebra", and whose first sentence asks us to consider the operators Jx, Jy, and Jz, which have the "well known" commutation rules [Jx,Jy]=iJz (etc).

Pedagogically, this is sound: start with something you know the reader is familiar with, then show by analogy how that applies to the new topic you are introducing, then expand the techniques into new areas, and then presumably turn it back towards the topic the reader knows and show how Lie Groups (in this case) make things easier.

However, it requires knowing the audience -- or, conversely, being the intended audience. I am not; from the benefit of knowing where physics has gone in the intervening 42 years, I know Lie Groups are important, and I know that my understanding of physics is weak, and I was hoping knowing about Lie Groups would help my understanding of physics. Ultimately, this book lost me before page 5.

I suspect this book no longer has an audience. The importance of Lie Groups in physics is now well-recognized and is taught to physicists-in-training. The folks who would understand this book no longer need it. Historically, it might have been important, but it no longer is.

Top ten classical but nowadays incomplete review of group theory in Physics
Helpful Votes: 17 out of 17 total.
Review Date: 2007-03-20
The book of Lipkin has become a classical reference in group theoretical methods in physics, and is one of the most valuable reviews at the time of the establishment of the Gell-Mann-Ne'eman octet model. Divided into seven chapters and various later written appendixes, this work was originally thought as a comprehensive introduction to the unitary symmetry. This has been achieved in an impressive way, as shows the careful development of the topics and successive refinements. The su(3) symmetry is deduced naturally starting from the annihilation-creation operator formalism employed for the nucleon, and introducing the needed tools step by step. The (1966) more relevant groups SU(3), SU(4), SU(6) and SU(12) groups are analyzed in some detail, as well as some low rank symplectic groups and various subgroups intervening in the state labeling problem, such as the Wigner supermultiplet model. The author makes a self-contained presentation of the combinatorial technique of Young diagrams, which is inspired in the milestone work of M. Hammermesh, but presented here with astonishing simplicity to be applied by the reader without requiring a deep theoretical background.
A quite interesting section is devoted to the experimental predictions obtained from the octet model, like the classical example of the negative hyperon, discovered by Barnes et al. following the theoretical model. In all, this book shows the situation of the global internal symmetries in the 60s.
There is however one surprising fact about the book. In spite of the title, the concept of Lie group is nowhere defined adequately through the book. Although it is commonly understood that the group is meant when working with the corresponding Lie algebra, this can mislead some readers. Also the (informal) definition of Lie algebra given in equation (1.15) on page ten is false, or at least incomplete. A set of operators with some bracket (either of bosonic or fermionic type) defines a Lie algebra only if it is closed with respect to this brackets and additionally satisfies the Jacobi identity. None of this is found in the definition given in the book. To "satisfy commutation relations similar to those of angular momentum operators" is definitively not sufficient for higher rank algebras. I agree that this minor detail is irrelevant for the rest of the book, because the used operators obviously define a Lie algebra, but this can also lead to confusion, since apparently any arbitrary collection of operators would have the same property.

Although this book has aged quite well and remains an important reference, it is no more adequate for those who want an actualized overview of the classification of particles. There are obvious reasons for this, as the non-covered topics correspond to concepts or models that were developed later than the publication of the book. One example is the attribute color (around 1973), introduced to explain some remaining difficulties. This absence obviously extends to QCD (Quantum Chromodynamics). Also the unified theories and the model SU(5) of Georgi-Glashow (1974) are not covered, as well as the symmetry broken down from this group to the reductive group SU(3) x SU(2) x U(1), or the resulting proton decay. Such important absences, easily detected by the expert, are not immediate for the beginner. However, there is no doubt that this book is an excellent introduction to the specific problems of group theory applied to particle physics. In any case, in order to have a larger comprehension of the topic, the text must be completed with the reading of more modern or detailed monographs. Good complements to the book of Lipkin containing later developments and theories would be, for example, the work of Ne'eman [Symétries jauge et variétés de groupe, PUM, Montréal, 1979], the book of Georgi [Lie algebras in particle physics, Perseus Books, Reading, 1982] or the encyclopedic work of Cornwell [Group theory in physics, Academic Press, San Diego, 1984, volume 2].

This book is still a very useful resource, nearly four decades after it was first published.

And that's the case even if you aren't exactly a pedestrian. This is the Truth about Lie groups!

While this book is very readable as it takes you through isospin, SU(3), commutation rules, symmetry breaking, the three-dimensional harmonic oscillator, and creation and annihilation operators, the most valuable part is the use of Young diagrams to construct multiplets for SU(3), SU(4), SU(6), and SU(12).

That is, suppose you are taking a course on elementary particles. And you are using some standard text such as Halzen and Martin (also a book that has aged very well). Anyway, you get to page 62 or so and that book tells you that the best way to construct the SU(3) multiplets is to use Young tableaux. But that book doesn't tell you how to use them. This one does.

If you are learning about elementary particles, you can go through this book in a day or two. And you'll be glad you did.

An excellent introduction to `Mother India'
Helpful Votes: 1 out of 2 total.
Review Date: 2007-01-11
Immediately after the publication of Mayo's book in 1927, a number of books were written by Indians as a reply to Mayo's scurrilous work, `Mother India'. Mrinalini Sinha's introduction is written from research standpoint where she tracing back in history and explaining the backdrop of Mayo's work. She also studies both the positive and negative impact the book had on colonial India. This book gives lot of additional information and references to one who is looking for a detailed study of the social issues of colonial India, customs and practices of Hindus, sources and reliability of the data that Mayo used in her book. Also, additional comments have been given at the bottom of pages for Mayo's claims, wherever possible.

In tracing back Mayo's career, however, one cannot see her anti-third world sentiments. She had been an average journalist and her life before or after the publication of `Mother India' does not show her antipathy or affinity towards third world countries. This leads one to believe that her agenda was enforced by external sources, namely political.

One would not wonder if this book has been used by the United States government as an introductory book on India until 70s especially when considering America's intolerance and knowledge on the east!

Sinha's introduction and comments are invaluable source of information for scholars, historians and even politicians alike. This book does not contain the full text of Mayo's `Mother India' (don't know why the book is published this way, may be with a business mind), for which one has to read one of the available editions of Mayo's original publication.

This is a great take on the original "Mother India" written in the 1920s by Katherine Mayo. Sinha notes that Mayo's book, in spite of being one of the most viciously racist and imperialistic (and badly written) books ever, served as a guide for US policy makers until the 1980s! Going by Sinha's analysis, it's pretty clear that Mayo was more demagogue than scholar, and very interesting that lots of people cared about her views. That alone makes it worth examining what Mayo said. Sinha takes a good look at (a) Mayo's career and political leanings, (b) new research about her sources of "information" about India, (c) possible sources of funding for her book, and (d) what Indians at the time had to say about it. Through all this, Sinha does a great job of contextualizing Mayo's book, and provokes readers to think about the powerful seduction that oversimplified (dis)information and propaganda hold for the uncritical mind. In the first part of the book, Sinha presents background and analysis. The rest of the book consists of excerpts from Mayo's original text.

Katherine Mayo originally published her book, _Mother India_, in 1927, when not only was there still a "British India", but there were still people who thought it was a good thing. This review is based on that original work. I do not know how this new paperback edition has been edited, but since "Mrinalini Sinha (Editor)" has been added to the authorship, I assume there are some differences. In the original work, Mayo, no fan of Mr. Gandhi, outlined in well-documented detail the problems of India at that time (child marriages, health problems caused by lack of hygiene, caste rigidities, the economy, etc.) and presented solutions from a western point of view. She was also no fan of Hinduism, but there is no attack in the book on the religion per se, only on the negative effects that she felt flowed from it. She is a good writer and the book is very easy to read. The political parts were not as interesting to me as the parts about the social problems. Hopefully the editor deleted some of the more tedious passages of old politics. For the most part, I found it fascinating.

..I hope there will be a 2nd edition of "FASHION ASIA" because BIYAN's creations for 2001 are way more stunning (oh those beadworks and fabric selections!) than the past collection featured in this book. If there will be a 2nd Edition, I strongly suggest that the author give more pages for BIYAN featuring only the best and his out-of-this-world newest creations.
Also more for Didi Budiarjo!
Not to mention Tan Yoong's bridal line from Singapore, which is absolutely superb, but not even mentioned in this book. The author only reviewed Tan Yoong's evening gowns, but he could have just concentrated on Tan Yoong's bridal gowns which are more heavenly than the evening gowns.
Mr Douglas, please consider making a 2nd edition, the world has to know about the best of 2001 from these designers..!
Now on the book itself, it is somewhat a milestone because it gives a big opportunity for Asian fashion to be acknowledged internationally and gain more exposure.
The only flaw is that (I think) it is lack of informations on the ultimate creations from Indonesian designers. There were many more fabulous creations I have seen myself from past collections than what were featured in this book.
All in all, this book is quite a good reference.
Way to go, Mr Douglas!

This book has been needed for a long time. Most of the world thinks of only Japan when they think of fashion design in Asia. Mr. Bullis has tackled the "Forgotten Eight" -- China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Out of the 46 designers featured in this book, I knew of only a few before I saw this book. It is just amazing how different fashion and style can be in this huge slice of geography. Hong Kong designers don't do anything the Taiwanese and Chinese designers do, the Malaysians don't do anything their next-door neighbours the Singaporeans do, and the Indonesians and Filipinos are in a class by themselves. I live in Singapore and even I did not know of some of the designers in my own city that Mr. Bullis found. What I really like is that his book goes into the minds of the designers themselves, not just the work they do. I really feel I know them as people when I read their words, not just names and pictures in a newspaper story. This isn't a typical fashion book at all, it is an art book about people who paint and sculpt and do collage with cloth.

I know it has become fashionable these days to not mention the period between September 1, 1993 and 28 February 1994. It's even more trendy to pretend as though the rainfall rates and vertical distribution of diabatic heating components over tropical oceans during that period "just didn't matter" in the big picture of things.

Have we so quickly forgotten? Are we in such a horizontal-distribution-of-diabatic-heating-components era now that we just don't have any room in our lives for the way things used to be?

I remember when things were different, and so too does Dayton G. Vincent. His semiannual status report of the rainfall rates and the vertical distribution of diabatic heating components over tropical oceans, September 1, 1993 - 28 February 1994, takes us back to those simpler times. Back then, you didn't have to keep an eye on your backpack to make sure someone doesn't steal it when you are hunched over a bowl of chowder at 2am, waiting for a well-past-late blind date to show up. Back then, you could leave your car doors unlocked, with the key in the ignition and the engine running, your kids asleep in the back, a loaded shotgun on the dashboard, and your live's savings in gold doubloons in the glove compartment. And not have a care in the world.

But times have changed. Thank goodness we have Dayton G. Vincent to take us back to those sepia-toned days, when we danced and laughed and vertically distributed diabatic heating components over tropical oceans.

My only criticism of this nostalgic walk through the past is that it is supposed to be a "semiannual" status report, yet followup reports have not appeared twice a year or even once a year. The promise, and the disappointment that accompanies it, is a sour note in an otherwise enchanting romp. That, and the fact that I haven't actually read it, force me to give this report just four stars instead of the five it so richly deserves.

I love words, and so, while perusing Amazon.com's extensive list of books with unknown bindings, I came across this truly, wonderfully exotic title, "Rainfall Rates and the Vertical Distribution of Diabatic Heating Components Over Tropical Oceans Semiannual Status Report, September 1, 1993-28 February 1994," by Dayton G Vincent. Wow! "Diabatic". What a great word! I envy Mr. Vincent the necessity of using this word, I'm sure, many, many times in one publication.

That he can only report semiannually must pose the greatest stress on his personal continence. Oh, to be limited to only twice a year! I dare say, though, that he gains some relief from writing about exotic tropical oceans.

Unfortunately, I can only give four stars to such a wonderful title, because even though it would fit nicely into my collection of titles of unknown bindage, I am unable to obtain a copy except through Amazon's third-party match-up system; and we all know how people like to run up the prices on those.

So, Dayton - yes, I feel I know you personally, now - I am forever deprived of knowing exactly how you resolve the rendundancies inherent in diabatic heating components. I will just have to settle for my new word-of-the-day: "diabatic".

A light rain falls outside my window as I write this review of Dayton G. Vincent's notable work "Rainfall rates and the vertical distribution of diabatic heating components over tropical oceans semiannual status report, September 1, 1993 - 28 February 1994."

The title itself is evocative, no? Makes me think of tropical oceans, diabatic heating components, and semiannual status reports.

It also transports me back to 1993, my freshman year in college. The first week I arrived my roommate and I went to the store and bought stuff for our room. Posters, an answering machine -- that kind of thing. I paid for it all and he said he would pay me back, but he never did.

You owe me money, Daniel.

Written especially for AMORC students and members, but often applicable to other kinds of mystical studies, author (and former UK Grand Master) Andrea gives a guided tour and pep talk to beginners on the path of study. The master's ideals in regards to the disciple are examined, conduct and "what to look for" are discussed, and insights into the master's past and ongoing studenthood are included. Sometimes cautioning; always reassuring. A fine book.

A Critical Step to a New Moral Awakening for Mankind

Thank you for coming forward. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I've watched so many honorable people be viciously attacked in the media by the likes of Shaun Hannity--commentators who bring nothing to the table beyond insults, and DON'T DARE address the issues. Brice resonates with a candid, level awareness of what was done to her, and has givin us the gift of that awareness so that the demented people in control of our society will be seen for what they truly are.

She's taken a great risk and we should be very grateful. Google "Kay Griggs"; she's another who has taken that risk and has suffered the same kind of harassment. But the word is spreading, and more than anything, 911 was so obviously an inside job that I believe America will soon be convinced that this "New World Order" is the last thing the world needs.

I hope you and your family stay safe, and may we all weather this storm to arrive at a new moral awakening for mankind.

"John D. Lee's" Gutless Character Assassination of Sue Ford Contains Bald Faced Lies

Prior to writing this review, I read both of "John D. Lee's" outrageous character assassinations of Sue Ford (for Starshine, and also for her subsequent book, the one in which she names the names: THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES- THE TRUTH HAS SET ME FREE

Sue Ford is deeply respected by retired FBI agent Ted Gunderson, who has done much in his own right to expose satanism and MKULTRA Mind Control in America.

Sue Ford has a masters degree in psychology, and she is an expert in the use of a state of the art EEG technology which she is using to assist people to break free of CIA MKULTRA Mind Control just as she has done. Would such a person be targetted by poison penned CIA cowards attempting to do spin against her message? What do YOU think?

Sue and Steve Oglvie conduct a seminar for psychiatrists and psychologists to educate them in order to assist them in better understanding Satanic Ritual Abuse, and MKULTRA Mind Control to help them to deprogram abused people. You'd be hard pressed to find a more honest or courageous woman than Sue Ford.

"John Lee's" scurrulous attack on Ford causes me to doubt that "Lee" is his actual name.

His "review" of Ford's books reads way too much for my taste as an "infomercial" for O'Brien & Phillips latest book "Access Denied for Reasons of National Security."

The truth is that Rod Robinson helped Ford edit STARSHINE, not THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES, and Rod's name IS on STARSHINE in the form of his pen name: PATRICK STONE.

This commentary by Ray Bilger about Mark Phillips certainly raises some interesting questions about these character assassinations. As you read Bilger's comments, and ponder what "Lee" is saying..... ask yourself WHO BENEFITS and consider the possibility that "Lee" is likely only the pseudonym of a gutless wimp who preys on women on behalf of the CIA and their Director, SATAN:

For those who have not heard of the man named Mark Phillips, he claims to be a "former" (retired) C.I.A. operative who was involved in mind control programming. Mark alleges that after he got out of the C.I.A., he decided he wanted to do something good. So he "rescued" an MKULTRA mind control victim, Cathy O'Brien, and together they wrote a book, Trance Formation of America, and now they travel around the United States on a speaking tour. It is this writer's contention that Mark is NOT a "former" operative, but that he is still heavily involved with the Agency, even though he may not know he is being programmed and used.

What you are about to read is the culmination of over 3 years of research and investigation into who Mark Phillips is, and why he is doing what he is doing. The statements made herein and the conclusions reached are not made lightly. This is very serious business and Mark Phillips is a very clever and ingenious man with a very clearly defined agenda. Unfortunately, that agenda does not appear to serve the interests of truth, but, in fact, it appears to be for the specific purpose of misinforming and misleading the public about what is really happening in America and the world. And it most certainly appears that Cathy O'Brien simply has a new handler who goes by the name of Mark Phillips.

The information used to compile this work has been drawn from numerous sources, including from a "close personal friend," Janus (not her real name-she is concealing her true identity for the present time), from others who have had the misfortune of being deceived by Mark, from Mark's own words, and from the observations of myself and others who have seen Mark in action as he does his work.

Let's begin with Janus, as this is where I first saw the real Mark Phillips begin to show his true self. Janus has been tortured and abused through MKULTRA trauma-based mind control programming since she was a baby. Her father, a career U.S. Military man, began sexually abusing her at a very early age. He has long been a personal friend of Gerald Ford, with whom Janus had much sexual contact while she was young.

Janus has been to Bohemian Grove in California, to the White House many times, and around the world, and she has been sexually abused by Ronald Reagan, Henry Kissinger, Jimmy Carter, Walter Cronkite, numerous other American officials, foreign heads of State, the Royal family in England, and on and on the list goes.

About the time Janus reached her thirties she was becoming less and less useful to her handlers, and she began to try to escape from the tortured life of abuse she had known. Her attempts to do this were met with swift and brutal retaliation to remind her that she should never again think of doing that. It eventually became apparent that she was being set-up to have an auto accident that was intended to result in her death. In the mid-1990s her car was hit from the rear by a tractor-trailer, but she escaped with relatively minor injuries.

In late 1996, while driving on a lonely stretch of road, Janus was involved in an auto accident where she was forced off the road by another car. She crashed head-on into a bridge abutment and her car burst into flames. Good fortune, or perhaps her own destiny, brought other motorists (including friends of mine) to the scene immediately who put out the fire, and worked as quickly as possible to cut her out of the car. The engine was in her lap, and she died twice and was revived before she was out of the car and into a helicopter on the way to the hospital.

I first met Janus in early 1997 when I heard from a close friend (who had been at the scene of her accident) that Janus said she had worked underground at China Lake Naval Weapons Station in the California desert. I wanted to interview her about this, and she hesitatingly agreed.

We got to know each other over the next couple of months (this is when I first found out about her being a victim of MKULTRA). In early April of 1997, a local TV station near my home was conducting a TV interview with a group of U.F.O. enthusiasts, and Janus and I happened to be present at the time. It was suggested by someone that if they wanted to know about mind control they should talk to Janus.

Janus nervously agreed, and told the interviewers a little bit about the subject. Remember, she was just beginning to break out of her programming, and she was very unsure of anything. She had never known a moment of freedom in her life, and she was still a long way from feeling it then. She didn't know how to think, as she had never been allowed to do so before.

The word about Janus' interview must have traveled fast, because the very next morning she got a phone call from her main handler, her uncle, and he said to her, "Who the hell have you been talking to?" He went on to tell her she would be leaving early the next morning to come and see him, and that "it was time that her family took care of her."

Janus called me later that same day and told me she would be going away for awhile and that she wouldn't be seeing me. She told me about what her uncle had said-that her family was now going to take care of her. I couldn't stop thinking about the double meaning of this expression, and I sensed that what it spelled was death. After all, Janus does have information that could seriously bring damage to the federal government and those pedophiles at the top who run things. Never before had she attempted to go public with her experiences.

I said nothing about her going away (I sensed that her phone was probably being tapped), but made plans in my mind to go see her that evening. When I got to her house, about an hours-drive south of where I live, she was surprised to see me. She had a suitcase packed, and I told her of the probable fate that awaited her if she left the next morning. After talking with her for awhile, I was able to convince her that she should come and stay with me for the time being.

On Sunday, April 13, 1997, David Icke spoke to an audience in Tehachapi, California. Janus and I attended and her spirits were lifted as David talked about what he was currently working on-exposing the pedophile governments around the world.

After the talk, I spoke with David privately and explained our situation. David was very interested in interviewing Janus, and since he had to leave the next morning we arranged to do so that same evening at the home of a mutual friend, a retired doctor, who also happened to be one of the people at the scene of her auto accident in late 1996.

That evening, we went back to the doctor's house and spent the next several hours listening to and recording a bizarre story that included Las Vegas, Nevada, the international pedophile capitol of the world. We were told that this is the place where people such as Britain's Prince Charles came to spend time with young boys. David got some good confirmation on things he himself had already been investigating.

At this point I had never met Mark Phillips, though I very much wanted to. On two prior occasions where I could have heard Mark and Cathy speak, I suddenly had to go away to Los Angeles on business. In retrospect I now know that this was probably meant to be, as we appeared to be destined to meet under very different circumstances.

David knew Mark Phillips and said that he would call him to see if he might be interested in meeting with Janus, as Mark was scheduled to be on the west coast shortly. Soon I was personally speaking with Mark Phillips in Tennessee, and he arranged to meet with Janus and myself while he was in San Diego in late April of 1997.

Janus and I arrived in San Diego the day before we were to meet, and relaxed as best we could. During this time I had to be ever alert as Janus would just go walking off, not knowing where she was going or what she was doing. It was as though she was mentally disconnected. At the time I knew very little about the real workings of mind control, but I have subsequently learned a lot, and we are both learning more each day.

Anyway, we met Mark and Cathy the next day and the four of us spent the next 8 hours in their hotel room. Janus had forgotten her reading glasses and Mark said she would need them. So, we went back to our hotel to get her glasses.

On the way driving back to our hotel, Janus said she was extremely uncomfortable about Mark. She said she felt that he was a doctor and that he wanted to lock her up in a mental institution. I didn't think that we would ever get back to their hotel, but I was eventually able to convince Janus that Mark appeared to mean well and that if he tried to do anything I would take her out of there immediately. I said she should at least give him a chance since we had come a long way to be there.

Not knowing any better, I felt that her programming and her microchip implants were probably telling her not to go to see someone who could really help her with her problem. I have since learned that Janus is extremely perceptive about many things, no doubt due at least in part to all that she has seen and been through in her life.

Mark was very emphatic about us not ever saying to anyone that we had met privately with him in this way. We agreed not to say anything. Mark then proceeded to talk to Janus and ask her all sorts of questions. He had her sit at a small desk and answer lists of various questions-things like what is your favorite food and what is your favorite color. These were questions she could not answer, because, as I was later to find out, she had never been allowed to think or make a decision on her own.

Mark made a quick examination of the back of her head and said that she had no implants. During the entire 8 hours, Mark chain-smoked cigarettes, pack after pack, while Cathy sat on the bed and said almost nothing until later on.

While Janus was answering the written questions, and for most of the entire time, Mark directed almost all of his attention to me. He explained that Janus did not appear to be a mind control victim, that she probably was not abused, and that her problem definitely appeared to be a chemical imbalance in the brain. He suggested that this was making her extremely depressed. In fact, Mark said to Janus, "You are the most depressed person I've ever seen in my life." Those were very powerful words to a woman in such a delicate situation.

Mark suggested some hospitals where I might be able to get Janus some serious help, if I was really interested in helping her, and I wrote down this information. Cathy O'Brien eventually spoke and said, "You should be glad you and your children have not been abused." By the time we left, Janus was shattered and had a splitting headache!

Since I was only beginning to unravel who Janus really was-remember, she never had the chance to have a real identity, only multiple personalities generated from trauma based programming-I believed what Mark had said, and now felt like I really had my hands full. Mark led me to believe I should be very careful for my own safety, so when we got home I hid all of the kitchen knives.

The next three days were some of the most difficult (and yet ultimately rewarding) of my life. I could not convince Janus to go to a hospital. She felt they would only do something terrible to her, and she just wanted to leave and run away. From everything she was saying, and from everything that Mark had said, I felt that something wasn't quite right. I still believed Mark must know what he was talking about, but I didn't know what to do.

After three days, I knew that Janus would not be going to a hospital voluntarily, and it began to appear that Mark had not told me the whole truth. Shortly after that, on May 2, 1997, we were driving around in the evening and we happened to turn on the radio and heard Lou Epton's radio talk show on AM 840 KXNT out of Las Vegas. His guests were none other then Mark Phillips and Cathy O'Brien on their west-coast tour.

We pulled the car over to a nice area and listened to the radio. Pretty soon Lou was taking telephone calls. I later obtained an audio-tape of the program to be absolutely certain of what Mark said. A caller to the program asked if Henry Kissinger is a pedophile? Mark answered, "No one has ever named Henry Kissinger as a pedophile. No one, that is, with any credibility has ever been able to show any kind of proof that he was involved in any sort of pedophilic activity." That sounds like a very thorough and well rehearsed response. Was Mark intentionally concealing Henry's very real pedophile activities? If so, why?

Mark Phillips, who appears as though he is very knowledgeable about who the pedophiles are in our government, would have to be naïve not to know about Henry Kissinger. Janus has been sexually abused by Henry several times at Bohemian Grove, and so has another woman (a MKULTRA victim) who will be introduced later in this article.

But one of the most striking things about the program was a caller from Las Vegas who asked Mark to comment on the pedophile activity in Las Vegas that takes place with the casinos. Mark responded, " &I don't happen to have any [information on that] and neither does Cathy O'Brien & As far as this being necessarily a center of that activity, I don't think so." That response is either a clear indication that Mark does not know what he is talking about, or else it is a very big intentional cover-up of the truth.

Earlier in the program, Mark had said that "Muskegon, Michigan is considered the capitol of the United States for pedophilia." Janus' comment was that, indeed, there is pedophile activity in Michigan, but it is by no means the capitol. Was Mark's comment designed to intentionally divert attention away from Las Vegas?

Janus and I sat there and looked at each other, and I realized that I had been taken for a big ride. It seemed inconceivable that Mark would not know that Las Vegas is the pedophile capital of the world. Of course, it appeared that he really did know better. I was mad, but I felt like this had all just been a test, and I felt somehow like I had passed it.

I have had a long time since then to think about all of this (and discuss it with others who are familiar with MKULTRA, or who have met Mark) and put the pieces of the puzzle together. And the conclusion I have reached I believe to be the truth. Before we ever met Mark Phillips, he must have been briefed about us, and he was told that Janus had to be eliminated, but that the only way to get to her was to get through to me, as I was protecting her. That's why all of his attention was focused on me. At the same time he did everything he could to make Janus look like a complete idiot, hoping that that would help convince me to drop her. But his plan (or the plan of his controllers) didn't work.

Mark does his job very well, I must say, but it is not the job that most people think it is. As I thought and thought about all of this and tried to put it into context with the Big Picture, of which this is but a small part, I finally came to the realization of who Mark Phillips is and why he had to be created.

The Elite One World forces who run the world from behind the scenes began to realize several years ago that some of the many MKULTRA mind controlled sex slaves (and others) were escaping, and some of them were talking. So, a conscious decision was made that a program needed to be put into place to counter any potential damage such exposure might produce.

To some extent, the mind control programming takes care of this itself. For example, many are programmed to self-destruct if they should ever escape. This programming would be activated when the victim/survivor begins therapy and too much is beginning to be remembered. Being programmed to drink heavily at such time is one example of this self-destruction. Or, as one woman I know about said, she has a neutron bomb implanted in her stomach and she is afraid it will be detonated at any time. These people are programmed to say the most unbelievable things, so that when an unenlightened person hears them they will think they are insane and in need of institutionalization. And if they get that, then they can be "fixed" permanently.

In any event, it appears that the powers that be put into motion a very complex plan that involved Mark and Cathy, and an unenlightened and unsuspecting public. They figured that if they could make it look like a rogue C.I.A. agent went astray and "rescued" a MKULTRA mind controlled sex slave, and escaped with her to write a book about it, and if it was all done just right, then the public might just buy it. And that plan has worked very well.

The book would have to contain enough factual truth to be interesting, and believable enough for the public to buy it. But then the real purpose of the whole plan would follow-travelling around the country on a speaking tour, where Mark Phillips (the expert) could answer questions, and debunk the real damage that has been (and is still being) done, and to tell those victims who might show up that they are really just delusional, that nothing ever happened to them, and that they should go to a hospital where they can get proper treatment!

The Elite's choice of Mark Phillips for this extremely important assignment was an excellent decision, as he does his job very well. He may himself be a mind control victim. Cathy's life seems to be better, but she is not free from the mind controlling, she just has a new handler named Mark!

Think about their whole story seriously for a moment. Don't you think that if the Elite Controllers wanted Mark and Cathy dead, that they would be dead by tonight? These Controllers kill presidents if they want to, but somehow they can't seem to kill a couple who are openly speaking to the public, and who stay in public hotels?

Let's listen to some of Mark's own words from his speech before an audience as he opens for Cathy. This quote (from 1996) comes after he has given a very lengthy explanation about all that he has done with the C.I.A. in the past: [Quoting]

I went to see a friend of mine from the U.S. Intelligence, and he was a General. And I explained to him what I had heard and what was going on, and I said, "This looks and smells and tastes exactly like mind control."

He said, "That's exactly what it is. The country is just saturated with it &"

I said, "Well, all I want to do is find out about this woman that Alex Houston handles, and this little bitty girl, because they are being used, under mind control, and they're being prostituted."

And he told me, he said, "Mark, this is the craziest thing that you have ever done in your life. Just forget about it. You didn't cause it. You didn't have anything to do with it. Mark, you just walk away from it &"

I said, "No, I'm going to give a little something back &. I'm going to see if I can find this woman and this little girl some help &."

I never seen him [the General] again because he passed away &. I decided that I was going to do something to help. [End quoting]

What a perfect story. And the General is supposedly dead now, so he can't be found to corroborate or deny Mark's story. It's the age-old story of a brave man who rescues a damsel in distress. It's all just too convenient, but it works so well for the average person. How many thousands, or tens-of-thousands, of people have been mislead or deceived by Mark Phillips? How many of them are real victims, like Janus, who don't need more lies, but need real help?

Let's go to another source to see if we can find out more about this man named Mark Philips. For those not familiar with Sherman H. Skolnick, he is a man on the cutting edge of exposing major conspiracies, and he writes about his findings and airs them on public access cable TV in Chicago. Listen to Mr. Skolnick's own words from February of this year (2000): [Quoting]

Several years ago this couple [Mark and Cathy] were set to be guests on my public access cable TV program cablecast within Chicago. Before coming here, Mark Phillips called me, as the producer/moderator of the show, and insisted on the following conditions: (1) All my questions were to be put in writing and submitted to them in advance, and (2) I was to make a written, ironclad guarantee that I as the moderator would NOT ask them or her any "negative questions." Having due regard for my integrity and being independent-minded, I refused these outlandish conditions. [End quoting]

Now, why would Mark Phillips make such strict and rigid requirements? If he were truly seeking to expose the many parameters of MKULTRA mind control programming, he would welcome any and all questions to help as many people as possible understand the magnitude of what we are facing. But he didn't do that. Mark was taking away the spontaneity that is the very essence of live interviews.

Does it seem at all possible that Mark may have wanted to portray things according to a very carefully planned agenda? If this were so, it would seem likely that Mark was intending to establish a very specific perception in the minds of the audience-in line with the overall plan put in place by his own controllers-and he wasn't about to have someone like Sherman Skolnick deviate from that agenda in the slightest. This is very serious, folks, and the stakes couldn't be higher-they are playing with our very Souls!

Let's turn now to some of the most compelling information about Mark Phillips, here from a woman who was a MKULTRA victim, and presidential sex toy and personal computer. Brice Taylor was a sex slave to Bob Hope, Henry Kissinger, Ronald Reagan, George Bush, Nelson Rockefeller, Gerald Ford, and on and on.

Brice lived for a time with Mark and Cathy, supporting all of them, and eventually she was able to publish her book, Thanks For The Memories-The Truth Has Set Me Free, published in 1999, by Brice Taylor Trust, P.O. Box 655, Landrum, South Carolina 29356. Here are some very telling excerpts from her book: [Quoting from pages 268 and 269]

"A breakthrough occurred. Ted Gunderson called to inform me that he had just heard from another woman [Cathy O'Brien] who lived across the nation, who had also sent him her memory work about being used as a sex slave to Ronald Reagan. Although it was a terrifying time for me, it also was an amazing time of discovery for all of us. Mark Phillips, her so-called therapist and deprogrammer, flew across the nation and told me that "Jimmy Carter's people" had called him in an attempt to stop him from meeting with me. I flew Mark and Cathy O'Brien to California to meet with me for the first time and I put on a seminar where they were the featured speakers. Mark Phillips knew all about my programming. Looking back on it now, he seemed to know way too much. He asked me if I had "a twin sister who was two inches shorter than me." This was a very powerful key and code into the programming of my "inner twin sister," Sharon, and this seemingly simple statement controlled my body in a very intimate way from the outside, showing me while in normal consciousness that I was indeed a robot, and not in control of my own body. Shortly after Mark and Cathy's arrival and seminar, a series of events occurred including an accident and ensuing hospitalization of the person that was living with me as my safe person. Mark Phillips explained that I was not safe in California and once again I ended up running. I paid to fly Mark, Cathy and I back to his mother's home in Charlotte, Tennessee where we began my process of what we then called "deprogramming."

Several weeks later, with nearly 10 years of recovery behind me, this so-called "retired?!" C.I.A. operative made dramatic changes in his living arrangements just to "help me deprogram." After relocating across the country to a home in Arab, Alabama, where I paid all domestic expenses for the three of us, a large sum of money for traveling expenses for both he, his girlfriend Cathy, and myself, and a large 'consulting fee,' this renegade C.I.A. operative read my lengthy journal entries daily for a year and a half and agreed that in his own words, "the memory work contains absolute elements of fact laced with verifiable details." But one and one-half years, forty-two journals, and $50,000+ traveling and living expenses later, Mark Phillips informed me that nothing had ever happened to me & nothing what-so-ever!

Cathy O'Brien said, "Well, you should be happy that nothing happened and that your children have not been abused!" I couldn't believe she was saying that, after all the common details of our histories we had shared.

I was devastated and went to bed and could not eat for three days and remained non-communicative and totally subdued for nearly a month afterwards. After all this time of intensely focused attention on my history, Mark informed me that I had never even been abused, and that I just had a big imagination. But, he seemed to appreciate that I was around to cover all of his expenses.

I suspect that Mark is some kind of "containment agent" who is being directed through his "handlers" whose motivations ultimately serve the New World Order. Through his containment expertise, the information I have conveyed to you in this book you are now reading was delayed in reaching you by nearly seven years & I have uncovered a string of lies he told others in an attempt to discredit me. I also reconnected with another Kissinger survivor that Mark Phillips had worked with for a time. Mark Phillips told her the same thing he told me-'THIS NEVER HAPPENED TO YOU!" & I left that home where I had paid all expenses & and went to live in Carbondale, Illinois. " [End quoting]

It is easy to see from the above that Cathy O'Brien indeed has a new handler, Mark Phillips. It would certainly appear that in their one-and-one-half years together, Brice and Cathy had a lot of time to share their common histories. Yet Cathy didn't seem to have any question whatsoever about Mark's sudden change of mind regarding Brice. On the contrary, Cathy seems to believe what Mark says, and then supports that with her own parroting statements. This acts as reinforcement to what Mark has already said. Very clever, and convenient. Mark has certainly trained Cathy well, and, as it appears, Mark himself has been trained well.

Brice Taylor's powerful book is highly recommended reading. It is the book that Trance Formation of America never could be, because of Mark Phillips' agenda. The cover of Mark and Cathy's book says "The True Life Story of a C.I.A. Slave." But that can't be so because even though the book does reveal a great deal of valuable information about mind control, the book doesn't reveal the true identity of who Mark Phillips really is. Since Mark has played such a large part in Cathy's life, and since the book doesn't tell the truth about Mark, by definition the book cannot possibly tell the true life story of Cathy O'Brien, and how she is being used today to help promote the New World Order agenda.

Over the past several decades, pedophiles have infiltrated into all levels of our government. It has become so all-pervasive today because once these degenerates get into the very highest levels of government, then they are in a position to appoint others of like mind into all other important positions in our government.

This has gone on until we have reached the point where we are today, with pedophiles dominating the Legislative, the Executive, and the Judicial branches of government. Our government today in the United States of America is one huge pedophile government.

Have you ever wondered what happens to the ever-increasing number of abducted and missing children in America, and who is doing this? Why don't you ever see any serious TV programs about the thousands upon thousands of America's missing children? Many people might be inclined to believe that a handful of child porno scum are responsible for this atrocity. How many would think that the entire operation is sanctioned and carried out by our own government in Washington, D.C.? Well, that's what is happening, folks, and that is what Mark Phillips is helping to cover-up and protect! (see the book, The Franklin Cover-Up, by John W. DeCamp, copyright 1992, by AWT, Inc., Lincoln, Nebraska)

It is a sick world we live in today that greatly needs healing. Mark Phillips is in a very unique and instrumental position to be able to help prevent and put a stop to what is going on. But instead he is helping to perpetuate the abuse and insanity by misleading and misinforming (i.e., lying) to those who most need to hear the truth.

The truth is often difficult to accept. Face it, Mark Phillips, that is what the people need and deserve to hear from you. If you can possibly break free from your own mind control programming, don't you think you should tell the people what is really happening in America and the world?

THE TRUTH ABOUT: The Truth About Mark Phillips

Svengali and His Prize Parakeet - My Respectful Tribute

By Jon Gentry

I am an event, freelance, videographer. Counting on both hands I have met and videotaped Phillips and O'Brien nine times. Since my earliest meeting with them, June of 1996, I have taken a great deal of flak from ardent supporters for saying Cathy was still under mind control. My evidence? Watching Cathy's eye movements as she accesses eidetic memory. At least Alex Houston used a dummy to talk through (ventriloquist).

So, now that the pendulum has swung against Mark Phillips, my unchanged view through these years now appears like support. With all due respect to Ray Bilger's three years of research, the subject is an elephant, and we the blind men. Mark Phillips may look a lot to Ray like the hindquarters, but I see Mark Phillips as a kind of a hero. Why would I call Mark a hero? Because his init

"Brice Taylor's" actual name is Sue Ford, a Beverly Hills debutant, and victim of incest and perhaps Multiple Personality Disorder, now named Dissociative Identity Disorder in DSM-IV. Ford got her degree in psychology before she "recovered" her memories, and perhaps was falsely influenced by reading other people's life stories. According to Cathy O'Brien and Mark Phillips, in their 2004 book "Access Denied for Reasons of National Security", Ford stole the fictionalized novel from her "ex-roommate" and its ghost writer, Rod Robinson (also a victim of incest and perhaps DID/MPD. Robinson told O'Brien, "I am an author writing a FICTIONAL book on mind control that incorporates much of the information Sue was able to obtain THROUGH HER THERAPIST," (NOT from Sue herself). This book was never about Sue Ford, aka "Brice Taylor". It is more based on the life of Cathy O'Brien, who collaborated on the facts of her deprogramming for which Robinson's novel is loosely based. Ford paid Phillips $500/month rent in return for living with him and O'Brien and Phillip's brain-damaged mother, but Ford claims to have paid Phillips $75,000. After reading Ford's so-called notes of her memories, Phillips wrote, "she either is deliberately perpetrating fraud or is indeed the victim of false memories from her therapists." O'Brien's daughter is also named Kelly, who was kidnapped into a Satanic cult run by the state of Tennessee, and a Nazi electroshock hospital run by Vanderbilt University, and scheduled for a court-ordered "exorcism by Satanists" (oxymoron). "Laws do not apply for reasons of national security", according to Judge Andrew Shookhoff, ignoring the Tennessee legislature's new law in O'Brien's daughter's name. When Robinson said he was almost finished writing his novel, Ford replied, "Since my experience was only incest, I guess I have nothing to contribute.... I want my name on the cover." Robinson replied, "If you'll do the legwork on getting the book printed and pay half the printing cost, you can add your name to the cover." "Really? My name can be on the cover of STARSHINE?", she asked. Robinson replied, "Right after mine. You've got the manuscript right there. When you solidify the deal the deal to have it printed, I'll wire you half the money." O'Brien asked her why she wanted to use an alias on the book, wondering why a person with DID would want a new identity. "For legal reasons," Ford replied. "It never occurred to me, Mark or Rod that Sue would eventually remove Rod's name from his book entirely, ironically change the title to "Thanks for the Memories", and keep all the sales profits," O'Brien wrote. "She plans to release Rod's fiction book as her reality, so she can use mind control as a defense to any crime. We asked her to leave immediately." So "Brice Taylor's" book is useful, at least for general background on CIA' MKULTRA, and background on O'Brien's first book, "Trance Formation of America". producer@PirateNews.org
