CIA Mind Control Experiments: MK-ULTRA Documentary (Part 4)
1979 www.amazon.com Watch the full broadcast: thefilmarchived.blogspot.com Donald Ewen Cameron (24 December 1901 - 8 September 1967) was a twentieth-century Scottish-American psychiatrist. He was most famous for his involvement in the Project MKULTRA of the US Central Intelligence Agency. Cameron lived and worked in Albany, New York, and was involved in experiments in Canada for Project MKULTRA, a United States based CIA-directed mind control program which eventually led to the publication of the KUBARK Counterintelligence Interrogation manual. He is unrelated to another CIA psychiatrist, Dr. Alan Cameron, who helped pioneer psychological profiling of world leaders during the 1970s. Naomi Klein states in her book "The Shock Doctrine" that Dr Cameron's research and his contribution to the MKUltra project was actually not about mind control and brainwashing, but about "to design a scientifically based system for extracting information from "resistant sources." Citing a book from Alfred W. McCoy it further says that "Stripped of its bizarre excesses, Dr. Cameron's experiments, building upon Dr. Hebb's earlier breakthrough, laid the scientific foundation for the CIA's two-stage psychological torture method." Donald Ewen Cameron was the author of the psychic driving concept which the CIA found particularly interesting. In it he described his theory on correcting madness, which consisted of erasing existing memories and rebuilding the psyche completely. After being recruited by ...

Autism Epidemic or Autism Overdiagnosed?
Autism is Complex disorder that can be easily misdiagnosed by well-meaning professionals. What is behind surge in autism epidemic/explosion? "Detroit experts say autism is overdiagnosed" - Associated Content. Moreover, Time Magazine alluded to Jenny McCarthy's son never being autistic and having landau kleffner syndrome..could that explain why he "recovered" after he took seizure meds? Some experts say yes. And what about Donna Williams? The high functioning adult who has written books and who was just recently diagnosed with DID (disassociative personality disorder) aka multiple personality disorder. How is possible an autistic person has a multiple personality disrder in teh clinical sense? That is absurd. Investigations into autism diagnosis for profit and gain are needed. Dare journalists pursue this? How many fake cases are out there pretending to be autistic? Public is being grossly misled as to what authentic autism really is. Autism isn't cured in a few years, if it's ever cured. Yet, these stories swamp the market. Follow the money. And Amanda Baggs? She is considered a complete FRAUD by anyone who understand real autism. Indded, her background shows she did LSD and other drugs that scrambled her mind. As for Dr. Gupta from CNN, it is shocking this so called educated doctor was fooled by an obvious fraudlent case of Baggs feigning autism. This is a major failure in journalism. And critical thinking. have seen increasing concerns on other websites, etc...regarding ...
