JOHN JUDGE:
The battle, I believe, in the current period, since the time I 
was born, 1947, or even a little earlier, is for the last 
frontier that's being explored; it's the one where we have to 
*do* battle in order to survive; it's for what George Orwell 
called "the space between our ears." It's that little space, and 
what's in it, that the government finds the most valuable. 
Believe me, the Defense Department does not sit around in fear of 
the Soviet Union, who are technologically and militarily well 
behind us on every critical point. If they plan anything in 
relation to the Soviet Union, it's full-scale nuclear, biological 
and chemical warfare attack in the year 2000. They don't sit and 
quake over the people in Nicaragua, in Central America, in 
Africa, in the Middle East. They do genocide against them with 
impunity. The only people that they're afraid of is us. Because 
if *we* figure out what's happening in this society, if *we* 
figure out the real politics, if *we* call the lie and open it 
up, then the gig is up. That's why Oliver North was so careful to 
shred everything. It didn't matter, as the Committee pointed out, 
that the Cubans already knew, that the Nicaraguans already knew, 
and that even the Soviets already knew. The problem was if the 
American public should get hold of the information on the secret 
government and its activities. *That's* the danger.
 
The history of the establishment of privilege in societies 
probably goes back as far as there was history. Back at least to 
multiple groups of people trying to cooperate, or live together. 
In the earliest part, those privileges were established at 
various points by religious beliefs that were asserted, or held 
sway, by outright lies, by force and the threat of force, and 
from time to time by the discovery of new technologies, which 
allowed a particular group an advantage or privilege over another 
group. The maintaining of that privilege, once it was held in a 
few hands, by a particular class, race or sex, was maintained 
then, by deception; by a distortion of earlier history; and by a 
method that became more and more effective as history progressed: 
the implementation of force, the threat of force, and implied 
violence.
 
This continued until all of those things became part of the State 
apparatus. They became centralized as huge functions that didn't 
rely on a particular fiefdom or how many thugs you could hire to 
fence off your land, protect it and call it your own, or how many 
soldiers you could get together under your leadership to die, so 
that you could take over some other property. The accumulation of 
wealth and control became centralized not only in a few hands in 
this country, but by a few societies, a few empires, over time.
 
We live in one of them. We live in the most advanced one. We live 
in the most dangerous one, in terms of the future existence of 
the planet. {1}. Current military and intelligence machinery of 
this society make the Nazi/Hohenzollern machine look like a 
rubber band affair.
 
We're 40 or 50 years down that technological pike from whatever 
it was that frightened us in the 1940s. And as Thomas Merton said 
in 1936: "If *we* fight the Nazis, we will become the Nazis."
 
Under current theory, rather than distorting history it has 
become the practice, I believe, to destroy history altogether. 
History, especially after the year 1945, no longer exists. It's 
not taught in school. When I was in school I was lucky to get up 
to the end of the Civil War. The furthest you could get in school 
was, maybe, the *beginnings* of World War II. Then there was 
something called Current Events that started in 1960. Now the 
kids in high school have history as an *optional* topic. You 
know, it's either that or I don't know what... typing... or 
something else. But even if they go into the history, I don't 
know if you've picked up an historical text from high schools {2} 
that mentions at all the 1940s on... It's just so distorted as to 
be unrecognizable. It's down what Orwell called the "memory 
hole." So it's more than just changing or distorting the history; 
it's the destruction of history itself so that history no longer 
exists.
 
In World War II, techniques were developed for the deception of 
the enemy, for the control of the human mind, and for war stress. 
They did an analysis of soldiers. It was that period, and the 
period directly following, that marked the massive growth of 
psychiatry as an industry. And of prisons. And of the whole 
centralized institutional response to political and social 
problems, that handed them over to experts in the society and to 
institutions. And that touted those people who stood up in any 
way, or fought back against their oppression, into these 
institutions, under definitions that blamed the victims 
themselves.
 
Blaming the victim is what mass psychiatry, militarism, and many 
of these other forces do. "You end up," as Malcolm X said once, 
"by reading the newspapers for long enough, loving the people 
doing the oppressing and hating the people that are being 
oppressed."
 
And then add to that, and those factors and those tendencies, the 
technology of television. As I often say, Goebbels probably would 
have given his saluting arm for that one. Because that's the 
ticket, see? We're no longer going to read. We no longer have to 
do anything except turn on that electronic machine. And as early 
as 1948, according to my investigation and research, that 
television was exactly the instrument described in 1939 in 
Orwell's book *1948*, which was changed here in the U.S. to 
*1984* in the first Harcourt and Brace edition. But '48 is the 
year it's talking about. All the technology that Winston faces in 
Orwell's society was in place, and in the hands of, and 
functional for, the intelligence agencies; the averrant 
conditioning, the telescreen that watched him...
 
By 1948 we had Operation Octopus (in secret), which allowed 
machinery in a particular neighborhood to cover a 25 mile radius, 
and any television that had its tubes hot could be listened 
through and *seen* through by this technology. This is what Hale 
Boggs' staff was investigating at the time of his disappearance 
in the middle of Watergate. He was also one of the Warren 
Commission members.
 
Beyond watching us, the television also controls us. Not only 
with constant subliminal messages, and the message of the 
commoditization of all human experience, and the message that 
cops are our friends, no matter what they do. You know, the overt 
and the covert propaganda. But just the fact that we spend so 
much of our time absorbed that we, in a sense, leave the driving 
to them... on the brain circuit.
 
With the brain itself, the procedures were: drugging, cutting, 
implanting, microwaving and perfecting control. Whether it was 
end of memory, lapse of memory temporarily, creation of second 
personality, training of assassins... whatever control they 
wanted, first on the individual, and then on the mass level.
 
Other programs that the CIA, Navy and Army Intelligence called 
MK/ULTRA, MK/DELTA, and MK/NAOMI, ARTICHOKE, BLUEBIRD, they had a 
lot of names, Project Often; they were done on prisoners, on 
veterans... who are *still* being experimented on in those 
institutions *right* *now*, in ways that won't be seen in the 
civilian world for several years.
 
But they took it, obviously, from that individual level to a mass 
level. As early as 1956 Allen Dulles bought 50 million tabs of 
LSD from the Sandoz Corporation. Now that's not *experimental* 
level. They were going to *do* something with it.
 
And what they did with it, to just give you one example from an 
article that I found at the time of... you remember the mass 
murders that were attributed to the Son of Sam (Mae Brussell 
calls him the "Son of Uncle Sam"), this fellow up there in New 
York, David Berkowitz. Berkowitz was an army clerk in Korea. I 
have an article about his military background from his best 
friend in the unit. He decided he didn't want to be there any 
more and he applied as a conscientious objector, the friend says. 
And then he says, interestingly enough, "the brass gave him 
acid." Does the *brass* give you acid? No, the brass gives you 
MK/ULTRA.
 
This fellow Gary Heidens, who was just convicted of the mass 
murders and torture of the women in the basement in Philadelphia. 
Did you read about that? He had been part of the MK/ULTRA 
experimentation in the army. He had 100% medical disability from 
the V.A. [Veterans Administration]. He had V.A. records so 
sensitive that the computers sent out a warning beep whenever 
anybody tried to access the file. His brother was also on 100% 
disability from the V.A. And when Perutto, his lawyer, tried to 
introduce any of that, it was quashed by the judge.
 
These so-called mass murderers not only don't commit all the 
murders (it's easy for the government to commit a lot of murders 
and then blame them all on one person), but the murders that they 
*do* commit are under the influence, not of some purported mental 
disease, but of *programming* of the mind, and distortion by the 
government itself.
 
The print and other media in this country, especially since the 
period of the Depression, have been in the hands of fewer and 
fewer people. All you need, really, is the assignment editor and 
the final copy editor in your pocket. And then you can have as 
many honest reporters as you want, as long as you've got 2 or 3 
CIA reporters and intelligence reporters to cover the right 
story. And to make sure that nobody else slips into the wrong 
one.
 
The wire services are certainly easy enough to control. And now 
the ownership, which had been secretly held, through interlocking 
directorates, by the Rockefeller family, for all four major 
television networks since the 1940s, has passed openly into the 
hands of General Electric (remember, "what's good for GE is good 
for the country") for NBC, and to Capital Cities, Bill Casey's 
stock investment company, ABC is under their auspices. So now 
we're going to be *open* about the fact that we live in a 
corporate world.
 
The future envisioned by the people that are paying hundreds of 
millions of dollars of money (NASA and Navy Intelligence) was 
outlined by Dr. Jose Delgado. A Fascist from Spain, an expert in 
brain implantation on animals and humans, Delgado suggested to 
the Congress in 1972 that we could have a society of electronic 
remote control of workers and laborers in the field, and soldiers 
out on the front lines. A society run from behind by a group of 
technocrats at the top, with almost all of us implanted {3} with 
electronic devices to control our brains and human responses. And 
he told Congress that he didn't see why anyone would feel adverse 
to having an implant that would make them both happy and 
productive. He said: "After all, they take their Swine Flu shots, 
don't they?"
 
I didn't.
 
Disinformation is an art developed by us and now blamed on the 
KGB. To give you just one example of how it works, it distorts 
history so much from the beginning, that the common left-wing 
response to the propaganda merely maintains the lie.
 
KAL 007, for instance, was *not* blown out of the sky by the 
Russians. Was *not* within 300 nautical *miles* of the stealth 
plane that actually invaded Soviet air space and escaped that air 
space because it deflected the radar information to the missile 
fired by the Soviet pilot. KAL 007 was blown up over the Kurile 
trench by the U.S. Intelligence agencies simultaneous with 
hearing the Soviet pilot say, "The target is destroyed."
 
Not only are we not privy to that information, but the KGB and 
the Soviet Union are blamed for shooting it down. According to 
the *New York Times*, in those days there was no excuse, under 
any circumstances at any time, for a sophisticated and developed 
nation to shoot down a civilian airliner.
 
Now, we've suddenly changed all that to a situation where there's 
"nothing else the pilot could do. After all, it was 9 miles 
away." And it was "ascending," or "descending," or doing 
something... And so, "we had to knock it out of the sky." [CN -- 
Here Judge is referring to a different incident, where a U.S. 
Navy Missile Cruiser shot down a civilian Iranian airliner over 
the Persian Gulf.]
 
But if our only criticism rests on the idea that the Soviets blew 
up the plane, then we can only counter with the fact that we 
shouldn't have done the same. If we get to [the] *bottom* of 
history, we're in a different situation.
 
I used to wear a button that said, "Where's Lee Harvey Oswald 
when we really need him?" You see, I wanted him to testify... 
because he could tell the truth to the American public. He was 
innocent of the crime. He didn't fire a gun that day. But 
whenever I'd wear it, people thought I wanted to kill the 
President. If I'd wanted to say that, I would have had to wear a 
button that said, "Where's Jack Ruby when we really need him?" He 
took the guns up the back of the grassy knoll. But if I wore that 
button, they'd think I wanted to kill Sirhan Sirhan. So you see, 
once you distort it, there's almost no way back unless you get to 
the core of the information and revise it toward truth.
 
One of the most interesting articles in the last year was in the 
*Boston Globe*, outlining five stories supposedly planted in the 
international press for distribution by KGB disinformation 
agents. Those stories included the *exact* research conclusions 
of Dave Emory, Mae Brussell and myself, and other key researchers 
in this country. These "KGB disinformation stories": that 
Jonestown was a CIA mass murder, that the AIDS disease is a 
chemical/biological warfare weapon, that the deaths in Cameroon 
resulted from a test of the neutron bomb... were stories that 
almost no one except the independent American researchers were 
putting out. So, if anything, the Soviets are *our* dupes. But I 
doubt it. I suggest that probably the Soviets didn't plant the 
"disinformation" but that *that* *article* [i.e. in the *Boston 
Globe*] was the real disinformation.

--------------------------<< Notes >>----------------------------
{1} "...in terms of the future existence of the planet." They 
always say this, but I think it was George Carlin that pointed 
out: "The planet ain't goin' nowhere... but *we* are."
   They always say "save the planet" when what they mean is "save 
us, the humans." Like Carlin said, the planet will still be here 
long after we're gone.
 
{2} "...I don't know if you've picked up an historical text from 
high schools..." That might be interesting, to read a high school 
American history text. But where could you get hold of one?
   By the way, I made inquiries about a year ago and it seems 
that the high schools are still teaching... guess what? That Lee 
Harvey Oswald did it.
 
{3} "...with almost all of us implanted..." Brings to mind 
reports of so-called "abductees" who report having received 
implants. I can't remember the source, but I recall reading a 
paper in which it was opined that these "abductees" are really 
persons who have been (1) abducted or otherwise captivated by CIA 
or some other shadowy government agency; (2) worked on, 
implanted, brainwashed, etc; (3) *then* given a *cover* *memory* 
by these quite terrestrial manipulators so that they seem to 
remember having been abducted by "spacemen".
