Seung Hui Cho in the 1998 Stone Middle School yearbook.

Project Paperclip, MKULTRA and Dr. Greenbaum, three things you've never heard of which may have everything to do with what happened at Virginia Tech.

Virginia Tech

There are a few points on the general timing of events that I think need to be iterated for the sake of clarity before we look at possible explanations.

There were two shooting incidents, the first occurred at 7:15am and then the second series began approximately 2 hours later.

"A lot of our friends live in [West Ambler Johnston Hall] and we heard that a girl got shot and killed in the stairwell, and that it was, like, 7:15 [a.m.]. A lot of people go to class at 7:45 [a.m.], so everyone was just talking about how they couldn't believe that they let students out at 7:45 to go to their 8 a.m. classes, because someone had just gotten shot and killed 30 minutes before. ..." - Hunter Wilson

So evidently we have two separate incidents. The motives and shooter for the first still remain unknown. Thus far there's been no evidence to suggest it was Cho Seung-Hui. What is available are a few references to an Asian or Asiatic man being detained by police, and then released. There is some mention of him being involved in a romantic relationship, but again this info is sketchy. What you've got to remember is that the fact that accounts are so distorted and confusing is actually a fingerprint of intel agencies and their operations.

There's also the NBC package that Cho supposed sent from a Virginia post office, the post stamp indicating it was mailed at 9:01 am. The package itself is suspect, but I'll come back to that.

So, the first shooting occurred at 7:15 am, the second approximately two hours later, (apparently beginning shortly after the package was mailed), the exact timing is unknown, but by 9:45 Officers had found Cho, and he had apparently taken his own life.

Here's where it gets interesting. Several accounts say his face was disfigured by his suicide. This makes no sense. If you kill yourself with a .22 Caliber Walther or a 9mm Glock (which are the weapons we're being told he used) there's hardly anyway you could disfigured yourself beyond the point of identification.

Later we were told by an eyewitness that Cho had actually killed himself with a bullet to the back of the head

Chen said: "He opened fire to the back of his head and blew up the front part of his head, which made it difficult to identify him."

So Cho shot himself square in the back of the head??!

Something is very, very wrong with this picture.

We are also told that the guns used by Cho had their serial numbers "obliterated", yet we're also told he had a receipt for the glock in his backpack? Why take the time and energy to remove the serial numbers from the guns when you have the receipt on you while performing the crime? Further, why remove the serial numbers if you were going to kill yourself? The only other plausible reason to remove the serial numbers from the gun is to remove any ability to trace the guns to their real origin, which was probably not the gun shop.

Another highly suspicious aspect of this event is the efficiency with which Cho went about his job of gunning down the students and staff. Thirty-two kills and fifteen wounded in approximately a half hour. That's shooting one person (multiple times) every thirty seconds, approximately. Any police officer or firearms expert will tell you that it's very difficult to get a kill count that high without serious training. This isn't the kind of skill you get from video games.

Dr. Joseph Cacioppo, an emergency room doctor at Montgomery, indicated he was stunned when victims began pouring in. "The injuries were just amazing. This man was brutal. There wasn't a shooting victim that didn't have less than three bullet wounds in him," Cacioppo said of the victims he saw.

I've seen enough movies to know that "two in the trunk, one in the head" is the standard for professional, trained assassins. Apparently this is exactly what this guy was aiming for, and by the kill count he did exceptionally well.

Other weapons experts claimed that Cho's "60% kill rate" with two handguns, one of them used mainly for shooting tin cans), was "unheard of".

The next little oddity is the "Ismail Ax" that was supposedly found on his arm. For all we know this could have been added after the fact. The current talk on the internet has it pointing to some obscure reference to Islam. I mean, isn't this just a little too perfect?

In Islam, Ibrahim is known as the father of the prophets and, upset that people in his hometown still worshiped idols and not Allah, he smashed all but one statue in a local temple with an ax. Ibrahim's son is Ismail, who also became a prophet. Ibrahim is Arabic for Abraham, who plays a significant role in Christianity, Judaism and Islam.

So now we've got an immigrant who has a reference to Islam on his arm and also is responsible for the deaths of 32 Americans. I mean... seriously? Could it get any better for the Ziocons and their bogus 'clash of civilizations'?

Actually, it does. Now this next part could be deliberate misinformation, or it could be true, either way it strongly suggests that the US government's own intelligence agencies had a hand in this event. Sun-Kyung, Cho's older sister, works for McNeil Technologies, according to "a source who asked to be identified as a senior administration official". McNeil Technologies is in short, a firm contracted by the State Department to manage reconstruction efforts in Iraq. In long, it handles lots of the security, info ops, linguistics and other intelligence work for the State Department. Its clients include the NSA, the CIA, and other intelligence agencies and think tanks around the world. From their own website:

The Security Center at McNeil Technologies is a dynamic and growing Center providing full spectrum security services.

* It is one of only three competitively-selected providers, and the only Washington-based provider of airport passenger/baggage screening services under Transportation Security Administration's Screener Partnership Program. McNeil provides service at Greater Rochester International Airport.

* Physical Security which includes Access control, escorts, and Guard services, Electronic systems monitoring, as well as classified mailroom and package inspection.

Okay ladies and gentlemen. Did you get all that?

Now I would like to address the very real possibility that the Virginia Tech shooter was under the influence of nefarious parties and may, in fact, have been mind-programmed to go about his killing rampage with no personal choice in the matter whatsoever.

I only ask that you read the following with an open mind, and if your interest is piqued, to search out the source documentation and read it for yourself. Regardless of what I write, none of us can truly know anything until we have seen it for ourselves. Allow me to start with Project Paperclip.

Convinced that German scientists could help America's postwar efforts, President Harry Truman agreed in September 1946 to authorize "Project Paperclip," a program to bring selected German scientists to work on America's behalf during the "Cold War". However, Truman expressly excluded anyone found "to have been a member of the Nazi party and more than a nominal participant in its activities, or an active supporter of Naziism or militarism."

The War Department's Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency (JIOA) conducted background investigations of the scientists. In February 1947, JIOA Director Bosquet Wev submitted the first set of scientists' dossiers to the State and Justice Departments for review.

The Dossiers were damning. Samauel Klaus, the State Departments representative on the JIOA board, claimed that all the scientists in this first batch were "ardent Nazis." Their visa requests were denied.

Wev was furious. He wrote a memo warning that "the best interests of the United States have been subjugated to the efforts expended in 'beating a dead Nazi horse.'" He also declared that the return of these scientists to Germany, where they could be exploited by America's enemies, presented a "far greater security threat to this country than any former Nazi affiliations which they may have had or even any Nazi sympathies that they may still have."

When the JIOA formed to investigate the backgrounds and form dossiers on the Nazis, the Nazi Intelligence leader Reinhard Gehlen met with the CIA director Allen Dulles. Dulles and Gehlen hit it off immediatly. Gehlen was a master spy for the Nazis and had infiltrated Russia with his vast Nazi Intelligence network. Dulles promised Gehlen that his Intelligence unit was safe in the CIA.
Apparently, Wev decided to sidestep the problem. Dulles had the scientists dossier's re-written to eliminate incriminating evidence. As promised, Allen Dulles delivered the Nazi Intelligence unit to the CIA, which later opened many umbrella projects stemming from Nazi mad research.

Military Intelligence "cleansed" the files of Nazi references. By 1955, more than 760 German scientists had been granted citizenship in the U.S. and given prominent positions in the American scientific community. Many had been longtime members of the Nazi party and the Gestapo, had conducted experiments on humans at concentration camps, had used slave labor, and had committed other war crimes.

If you research project paperclip on the net, you'll find many references to 'rocket scientists' and talk of 'missile technology', what isn't so forth-coming is discussion of their mind control programs. Inspired by these programs the CIA began it's own work on mind control, the program was named MKULTRA.

MKULTRA was approved by the DCI [Director Central Intelligence] on April 13, 1953...

Part of the rationale for the establishment of this special funding mechanism was its extreme sensitivity. The Inspecter General's survey of MKULTRA in 1963 noted the following reasons for this sensitivity:

a. Research in the manipulation of human behavior is considered by many authorities in medicine and related fields to be professionally unethical...
b. Some MKULTRA activities raise questions of legality...[Doublespeak for: Are Illegal]
c. A final phase of the testing of MKULTRA products places the rights and interests of US citizens in jeopardy. [Some experiments were terminal, others performed without consent]
d. Public disclosure of some aspects of MKULTRA activity could induce serious adverse reaction in US public opinion... [People might realize the CIA et al considered itself above the law]

Over the ten-year life of the program, many "additional avenues to the control of human behavior" were designated as appropriate for investigation under the MKULTRA charter. These include "radiation, electroshock, various fields of psychology, psychiatry, sociology and anthropology, graphology, harassment substances and paramilitary devices and materials.

Further discussion of MK-Ultra can be found from author Richard Dolan:

With an official budget exceeding $100 million by 1953, the CIA was an important part of America's subterranean history. DCI Allen Dulles had more resources and money then Hitler's Abwehr, the KGB or Britain's secret intelligence service, and none of it accountable to congress.

One burgeoning area within the agency was its mind control program, renamed MK-Ultra in April 1953, and led by Sidney Gottlieb. MK-Ultra was deeply secret and recruited ethically challenged scientists to modify the behavior of people through covert chemical or biological means.

The program is best known for its use of LSD, but it tried many other ways to harness the human mind, much of which was so sensitive that documentation remains scarce. Very soon, Ewen Cameron would be working for MK-Ultra. In 1953, Cameron was elected president of the American Psychiatric Association and eventually became the first president of the World Psychiatric Association. One of his goals was to treat schizophrenics by inducing complete amnesia, then to guide the patient to recall only "normal" (or selected) behaviors. He had limited success, then inflated his claims. His grisly experiments, conducted off American soil, included some that were terminal. (Dolan, p132-3)

An important point to remember is all of this took place from the late 1940s through the early sixties. Since then there have been several senate investigations and hearings into the matter , yet when we dig more deeply, we begin to realize that the investigations and hearing were conducted primarily to quell public alarm and engage in damage control over leaked information about what was really happening under these programs.

Protected from oversight, CIA and army behavioral experiments accelerated. During 1955, an MK-Ultra experiment took place in which an army "volunteer" was sealed in a sensory deprivation box for forty consecutive hours. In panic and terror, he kicked his way out, and wept uncontrollably for a day. This resulted in a change of policy: the box was strengthened.

Around this time, Dr Maitland Baldwin told Morris Allen of MK-Ultra that he could do terminal experiments in sensory deprivation, as long as the CIA provided the cover and subjects. This was too grisly for the CIA at this point, and it was shot down as morally reprehensible.

In time, however, the CIA had complete access to Ewen Cameron, who gladly used his own patients for precisely this purpose. Cameron actually left one woman in sensory deprivation for thirty-five days, irreversibly scrambling her mind. (Dolan, p170)

Most evidence suggests that the research continued.

MK-Ultra was supposedly terminated in 1963. More accurately this refers to the program's official name only. ...during 1964 and 1965, Sid Gottlieb authorized over a dozen subprojects related to Cameron's work under a new acronym, MK-Search. Many of those investigations dealt with ways to destabilize human personalities.(Dolan, p267)

During his last days as DCI in January 1973, Helms ordered Gottlieb to destroy all files relating to MK-Ultra, MK-Search and related endeavors in mind control. Among other things, Helms was worried that the lawsuits of Cameron's former patients could blaze a trail right to Langley. Inexplicably, Gottlieb failed to destroy about 130 incriminating boxes in the archives. Had he destroyed these, MK-Ultra might have remained unknown to this day.(Dolan, p374)

It's definitely disturbing to ponder how much progress these government scientists and intelligence agencies may have made in the last sixty years.

If the reader is so inclined I invite him or her to research the story of Frank Olson. His supposed suicide was connected to these events tangentially, to save time I will not include it here.

While doing some independent reading online, I came across a speech by one Dr. Hammond, originally entitled, "Hypnosis in MPD: Ritual Abuse". It was given on June 25th, 1992 at the Radisson Plaza Hotel, in Alexandria, Virginia. Dr Hammond is a clinical practitioner who works with Dissociated Identity Disorder (formerly called Multiple Personality Disorder) patients.

His speech focused on common traits he found across the country and in a few cases outside of it. What seemed to be evident is that patients who we're "blood-line", meaning one or both of their parents were in a cult, had a systematic programming and intentionally created alters that were capable of independent action without the host's awareness. They often had Greek letters as their designated code names. Dr Hammond explains:

Alphas appear to represent general programming, the first kind of things put in. Betas appear to be sexual programs. For example, how to perform oral sex in a certain way, how to perform sex in rituals, having to do with producing child pornography, directing child pornography, prostitution. Deltas are killers trained in how to kill in ceremonies. There'll also be some self- harm stuff mixed in with that, assassination and killing. Thetas are called psychic killers.

You know, I had never in my life heard those two terms paired together. I'd never heard the words "psychic killers" put together, but when you have people in different states, including therapists inquiring and asking, "What is Theta," and patients say to them, "Psychic killers," it tends to make one a believer that certain things are very systematic and very widespread. This comes from their belief in psychic sorts of abilities and powers, including their ability to psychically communicate with "mother'" including their ability to psychically cause somebody to develop a brain aneurysm and die. It also is a more future-oriented kind of programming.

Then there's Omega. I usually don't include that word when I say my first question about this or any part inside that knows about Alpha, Beta, Delta, Theta because Omega will shake them even more. Omega has to do with self-destruct programming. Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. This can include self-mutilation as well as killing- themselves programming.

I've found, for example, in one case that Zeta had to do with the production of snuff films that this person was involved with.

With another person, Omicron had to do with their linkage and associations with drug smuggling and with the Mafia and with big business and government leaders. So there's going to be some individualism, I think, in some of those.

Sounds crazy right? An important thing to keep in mind is that a Ph.D. discovered this in many patients, indicating that it isn't some fluke, nor is it some 'conspiracy theory'. These were all documented cases of real patients, hundreds that were encountered over his career. The scary thing is, patients usually only seek therapy when the 'programming' isn't completely effective. If it was, they'd be unaware of any of these experiences, and anytime they switched between personalities they'd lose time, or have that time filled in with a screen memory. So it's quite possible there are thousands of people, programmed to perform criminal tasks for their nefarious masters, doing so as essentially unconscious slaves!

Dr Hammond was able to get the general idea of the methodology of how these individuals were programmed from his patients while under hypnosis. It's relevant, so I'll include it here.

What they basically do is they will get a child and they will start this, in basic forms, it appears, by about two and a half after the child's already been made dissociative. They'll make him dissociative not only through abuse, like sexual abuse, but also things like putting a mousetrap on their fingers and teaching the parents, "You do not go in until the child stops crying. Only then do you go in and remove it."

They start in rudimentary forms at about two and a half and kick into high gear, it appears, around six or six and a half, continue through adolescence with periodic reinforcements in adulthood.

Basically, in the programming the child will be put typically on a gurney. They will have an IV in one hand or arm. They'll be strapped down, typically naked. There'll be wires attached to their head to monitor electroencephalograph patterns. They will see a pulsing light, most often described as red, occasionally white or blue. They'll be given, most commonly I believe, Demerol. Sometimes it'll be other drugs as well depending on the kind of programming. They have it, I think, down to a science where they've learned you give so much every twenty- five minutes until the programming is done.

They then will describe a pain on one ear, their right ear generally, where it appears a needle has been placed, and they will hear weird, disorienting sounds in that ear while they see photic stimulation to drive the brain into a brainwave pattern with a pulsing light at a certain frequency not unlike the goggles that are now available through Sharper Image and some of those kinds of stores. Then, after a suitable period when they're in a certain brainwave state, they will begin programming, programming oriented to self-destruction and debasement of the person.

In a patient at this point in time about eight years old who has gone through a great deal early programming took place on a military installation. That's not uncommon. I've treated and been involved with cases that are part of this original mind-control project as well as having their programming on military reservations in many cases. We find a lot of connections with the CIA. This patient now was in a Cult school, a private Cult school where several of these sessions occurred a week.

She would go into a room, get all hooked up. They would do all of these sorts of things. When she was in the proper altered state, now they were no longer having to monitor it with electroencephalographs, she also had already had placed on her electrodes, one in the vagina, for example, four on the head. Sometimes they'll be on other parts of the body. They will then begin and they would say to her, "You are angry with someone in the group." She'd say, "No, I'm not" and they'd violently shock her. They would say the same thing until she complied and didn't make any negative response.

Then they would continue. "And because you are angry with someone in the group," or "When you are angry with someone in the group, you will hurt yourself. Do you understand?" She said, "No" and they shocked her. They repeated again, "Do you understand?" "Well, yes, but I don't want to." Shock her again untill they get compliance. Then they keep adding to it. "And you will hurt yourself by cutting yourself. Do you understand?" Maybe she'd say yes, but they might say, "We don't believe you" and shock her anyway. "Go back and go over it again." They would continue in this sort of fashion. She said typically it seemed as though they'd go about thirty minutes, take a break for a smoke or something, come back. They may review what they'd done and stopped or they might review what they'd done and go on to new material. She said the sessions might go half an hour, they might go three hours. She estimated three times a week.

Programming under the influence of drugs in a certain brainwave state and with these noises in one ear and them speaking in the other ear, usually the left ear, associated with right hemisphere non-dominant brain functioning, and with them talking, therefore, and requiring intense concentration, intense focusing. Because often they'll have to memorize and say certain things back, word-perfect, to avoid punishment, shock, and other kinds of things that are occurring. This is basically how a lot of programming goes on.3

Indeed these horrors could only have originated in Nazi research. To think that they were transplanted and furthered here, in the United States is revolting to say the least.

Let me sum up. The history of our intelligence agencies and military had indicated that they've been engaged in all kinds of illegal and unethical research that likely spawned in the minds of Nazi scientists and was brought here in order to prevent the "commies from getting it". They did terminal mind control experiments, covered them up, lied to congressmen or otherwise manipulated them, keeping the majority of information regarding these and other programs completely secret.

Fast forward to 9-11: (that's another spook-filled can of worms) since then our government has been engaged in wars of aggression that have lined the pockets of weapons manufacturers, and in general 'loyal Bushies' all across the US and the world. Currently, the level of corruption in our government is beyond anything we as a populace have ever experienced before. In the words of comedian Bill Mahr, "It's literally hard to keep up with the sheer volume of scandals in the Bush administration, which is why I like to download the latest scandals onto my Ipod. That way I can keep up on this week's Giant F**kup on my way into work. In fact, Bush has so many scandals he could open a chain of Bush-Scandal and F**kup Themed Restaurants..."

This week's giant "f**kup" is the lawyer firing scandal. I won't go into it, but the timing of these events is strangely coincidental, because if you can recall before the Virginia Tech massacre, the media was focused on the fact that the Bush government had once more circumvented the constitution. Not anymore, because hearings on the topic have been pushed back due to the shootings.

Coincidence?

And what about Denis Kuchinich's recent impeachment proceedings against Cheney? Sorry, they've been put on the back burner too because of VT, at least until the 25th. 12 What is going to happen between now and then we wonder...

The question we are trying to answer here is: was this kid mind programmed to "go off" for the purpose of generating terror among the populace as well as creating a distracting media circus? The facts suggest that that is a distinct possibility.

The facts also suggest that he is not the only one.

Less than a year ago, a high school student also 'went off' and killed some cops in Fairfax Virginia:

Michael W Kennedy, 18, was shot and killed after he attacked police officers in a shoot-out behind a Fairfax County police station. He was able to kill two police officers using an assault rifle and six other weapons he had with him at the time. May 31st 2006.

Seems that the Virginia-DC area, around Langley and Dulles (CIA central), has had an unusually large number of psychotic murder sprees over the years.

Coincidence?

Only April 18th, two days after the VT shooting, another kid 'went off':

HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. - A teenager shot and killed himself Wednesday shortly after pointing a handgun at two other students in a high school parking lot, police said. The student, who attended the school, turned the gun on himself when police confronted him at a gas station...

Further strangeness at VT includes the fact that during the week previous to the VT massacre, the VT campus was evacuated due to bomb alerts. Those bomb alerts are now being ascribed to Cho, but the problem is that there was another bomb alert in VT yesterday? Was that Cho too? From beyond the grave?

Initial reports from the VT massacre also told us that:

Virginia Tech student Chen Chia-hao told Taiwan cable TV channel CTI that the shooting rampage on Monday morning began after the gunman, believed to be a student from China, killed his girlfriend in the student dormitory after an argument.

"They had a big quarrel in the West Ambler Johnston Hall and he shot her. Then the RA (dorm supervisor) came, and he shot the RA," Chen told CTI by phone. [..]

It has since been proven that Cho had no connections to the first girl that was shot in the dorm. Without that, the version that the two murders are connected doesn't hold any water, it doesn't correspond to a pattern, and the police are still not ready to decisively link it, despite the fact that according to the media, it is already a 'done deal'.

And what about the conflicting accounts of the physical appearance of the shooter at VT? First he was wearing a boy scout outfit and was 6 feet tall? Later he was wearing "hunting gear". As it turns out, Cho was a pretty small guy. What's going on here? And just to round it all off, today, a NASA contract worker took a handgun inside an office building at the Johnson Space Center and fatally shot a hostage before killing himself.

Take a look at the facts, then judge for yourself. There will never be a 'smoking gun', so don't ask for one; research, dig, ask yourself some serious questions and then make the call. Or if you like, label me crazy, go back to sleep and pretend your government has your best interests in mind, that way you won't have to do anything except wait... and hope.

Just don't hold your breath.

Cho Before Programming

Cho After Programming
