Winnipeg, 1952. Agencies of the Canadian government co- operate with the United States Air Force in "experiments" of biological warfare involving the aerial spraying of contaminants over the entire city of Winnipeg.
Montreal, 1958. Doctors at McGill University use their patients as unknowing "human guinea pigs" in CIA-funded experi- ments with LSD.
Toronto, 1979 The RCMP admit to deliberately falsifying the medical records of political activist Ross Dowson. The police distribute false reports of Dowson's mental instability to discredit him with his followers.
Today Martti Koski , a Finnish immigrant in Canada believes he has been targeted by the RCMP as the latest "guinea pig" in bizarre experiments in mind control and "telepathic terrorism" using microwaves.
These few examples represent just a tiny portion of the whole range of "dirty tricks" by authorities that have come to light in recent years. But, even a complete list of what we know would be limited because it would only be a list of what we know. What we don't know must be the real concern. And as Martti Koski's story reveals, what we don't know is probably hurting us.
Vancouver (CP) - Robert Logie says he was a guinea pig for the United States Central Intelligence Agency, and constantly relives a nightmare of hospital brainwashing sessions that in- cluded hallucinogenic injections and massive electric shocks.
He and four other Canadians launched a $5 million suit this week in Washington against the U.S. government. They are claim- ing $1 million each in damages from what they say was a CIA- funded multi-million-dollar research experiment into the behavior of drug-induced patients.
Logie, a 42-year-old reclusive bachelor, said in an inter- view his troubles are connected to Montreal hospital LSD experi- ments he was subjected to in the late 50s.
(..............)
Logie says he was a "human guinea pig" for a CIA drug exper- iment program called MKULTRA Sub Project 68, one of a series of CIA-sponsored schemes to test interrogation, behavior control and brainwashing.
He said the CIA paid Cameron at least $60,000 to conduct the mind-control experiments and an additional $35,000 went to McGill in the form of grants to the psychiatry department.
Logie said a U.S. agency called the Society for the Investigation of Human Ecology was a front organization for the CIA program.
Logie said he arrived here in 1968 with no knowledge of who he was or where he was. He said he slept under a bridge for five nights before going to the police. A Vancouver relative identi- fied him after a newspaper printed his photograph.
"I don't know if my amnesia is related to the LSD experi- ments," he said. "All I know is that the nightmare never stops."
Friends,
I know what I am about to tell you will sound bizarre, almost beyond belie--RCMP surreptitious testing of a telepathic amplifier that works with microwaves to control people's minds and bodies, voices in the air, spy schools, interrogation, toxic gas--I know how crazy it all sounds.
I know your first reaction will likely be to dismiss me as some kind of a "kook" who has sadly lost touch with reality. I know if I hadn't been victimized by this "experimentation" I would probably react the same way. But I am asking you not to.
I am asking you to take a few minutes to read through this pamphlet, to think about other things we all know have happened that tested our belief and trust in those in charge of our socie- ty, to reflect on the story I have to tell and finally, to give me the benefit of your doubt.
For, if there is, in your mind, the slightest chance what I have to tell holds some truth, doesn't it demand and deserve your further concern?
I know my story sounds like the plot from some low budget science fiction spy thriller that could never happen in real life. The problem is it did happen in my life. And it could happen in yours if you don't join me in my battle today to expose and resist this attack on human dignity.
I may have been one of the first victims of this sinister program; but, without your help, you can be sure I will not be the last victim.
Martti Koski
January 1981
Ottawa
In the beginning I simply thought I was slowly going mad.
I knew it wasn't normal to hear "voices" and mine were with me for two to three hours every day. I felt they came at me through the ceiling from the suite above me.
But, I wasn't really worried. I had resigned myself to the thought I was suffering from some sort of neurotic disorder--impossible to get rid of, but harmless enough. Then, in the late summer of 1979, after four years of this "talk", things suddenly got a lot worse.
I seemed to lose control of most of my normal body functions and emotions. It was as if someone or something could control my sleep, my sense of smell and taste. Food was, by turns, made to taste very salty or acidic. Sexual functions, urination, bowel movements and basic metabolism--all were affected.
Finally, I couldn't even work. I'm a welder and I came to be unable to breathe in any air contaminated with carbon dioxide. It made me salivate excessively and foam at the mouth.
By now "the voices" were with me 24 hours a day. I was being talked to every waking hour. I was allowed minimal sleep--about an hour a day. If I left my apartment I immediately became very drowsy, yet indoors I could not sleep.
My heartbeat became erratic and finally uncontrollable. In December, 1979, I was admitted to the University of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton, the victim of a "heart attack".
It was in the hospital I first suspected I was the victim of something more sinister than my body's own normal reaction to physical or emotional illness.
For the first time the "voice" identified itself. It told me it was a spokesman for the RCMP and that I had been selected for "training" as a spy. The first phase of my training would be to learn how to survive in a Russian insane asylum. The hospital would serve as my training ground.
I remained in the hospital for three days, the subject of many bizarre and strange encounters and experiments. In one instance, I was given medication but simultaneously warned by "the voice" not to take it as it was poisoned. When I did take it, I suffered heart palpitations.
I was warned not to go into a certain room. But I was later lured into it by a "doctor" and then subjected to interrogation and a battery of "tests" related to sexual functions and organs.
The interrogation began with an electric shock being applied to my penis. Then the telepathic talk of the voice encouraged me to masturbate to avoid becoming impotent. But, I was unable to achieve ejaculation.
The "voice" warned me if I failed to ejaculate I would suffer extreme consequences; my scrotum would become elongated and I would have to be operated on. When I left this interrogation room and went back to my hospital room, the old man sharing it with me exposed himself to me, revealing a scrotum about 15 centimeters long.
These kind of sexual and genital "experiments" carried on throughout my whole time in the hospital.
During my time in the hospital I was also unable to sleep due to severe headaches that seemed to be induced each time I attempted to sleep.
When I left the hospital I returned to my apartment. But, I soon again experienced problems with my breathing and extreme headaches.
I decided to flee my home to seek release from the problems that were hounding me.
I stayed away from my apartment for 10 days, living in cheap hotels--but I was not left alone. My sleep continued to be disrupted; my bladder ruptured twice because I had somehow lost the ability to sense the need to urinate.
I decided to look for help again at the hospital. But it was the same as the first time--it was still a "spy school" where I was "in training".
This time the "training" involved stealing shirts and engaging in a kind of black market where cigarettes were used to "buy" services from other patients (inmates).
As in my first experience, some of the doctors and some patients participated in the play-acting to create the impression of a Russian insane asylum. One doctor I remember by name was Dr. Peter Hayes.
I returned to may apartment. But was, one morning soon after, awakened by a phone call from someone who hung up as soon as I answered. Immediately gas poured into my room for about 15 seconds causing my mouth to fill with blood. Then "the voice" told me this was my last warning.
Afraid for both my sanity and my life I decided to return to my native Finland, a decision that was to convince me, more than ever, of the RCMP intrusion into and takeover of my life.
In order to leave Canada I would need my passport; but, when I went to look for it, I couldn't find it. I had apparently misplaced it. I decided to leave Canada from Toronto where I could also apply for a new passport.
I traveled to Toronto by Greyhound bus pursued all the while by "the voices". On this trip I noticed a marked RCMP car seemed to be following the bus for several hours. And several times the bus was met by RCMP cars and people who I took to work for the RCMP left the car to ride on the bus and vice versa.
It was also on this bus trip that I got the first hint of the kind of experimentation I was being subjected to: the voices began to call me the "Microwave Man", and all the while the "spy training" exercises continued.
Among other things:
Things in Finland were no better than they had been in Canada. The "voices" clung to me. The one change was they now identified themselves as being from the star Sirius.
The experiments and voices carried on for the whole two and one half months I stayed in Finland.
I believe my mother was at last somehow convinced to aid the authorities. She confessed to me, just before my departure, she had placed prescription drugs I had no need of in my luggage. Part of a plan to induce another "heart attack"?
My return journey to Canada by ship, train and plane took over five days and nights, during which time I was not allowed to sleep at all.
Back home in Edmonton the strange occurrences piled them- selves one on another. First, I found my wayward passport on my kitchen table.
Next I was subjected to several toxic gas experiments. It seemed to me now other tenants in the building were either agents of the RCMP or co-operating with the police force in their exper- iments.
In an elaborate and excruciating experiment that involved hypnosis and supporting special effects employing fire trucks circling around me I was presented with a program of indoctrina- tion to convince me criticism of the American society was a "cancer" and a threat to us all. I was told I was "unclean" and "contaminated" with this "cancer". The fire trucks were to be used in a massive cleansing or washing away of the contagion.
My ability to withstand this heavy physical and psychological bombardment was at its breaking point--and then I chanced on a way to begin to resist.
By now it was early April. The days were warming up. I discovered the power of the microwaves were lessened in the open air. I was even able to sleep out on the grass in the sunshine. This sleep--the first rue sleep I had in months-- was enough for me to begin to rebuild my will to resist the forces at work against me.
As soon as I began to resist--with measures described in the following--the experimentation began to ease off. I still hear the Finnish "voices", but the "talk" is less intensive. They call this stage "custody".
But my fear for my health and life continues. (At one point the "voices" told me my ultimate fate will be to suffer a "natu- ral death" in five years.)
And, my worries about what is in store for the entire Cana- dian society continues.
Why was I chosen as a test subject? Is there something special about me that singles me out for this kind of attack, or is it simply that "they" are out to get me?
The answer is: "Yes and no."
(......)
I am single. I live alone. My only relative in Canada lives thousands of miles from me. I do not belong to any frater- nal groups, organizations or political parties. I have difficulty communicating with other Canadians because of my poor spoken English. In short, an ideal target: I don't have a large circle of acquaintances and my ability to reach out and make new contact is limited.
Moreover, I believe the preparation time--in my case four years--is designed to reinforce this isolation, to promote "strange" behavior and to discourage, even further, friendships or contacts.
I began my struggle to expose what was happening to me by posting handbills on telephone poles and the boarding around construction sites throughout Edmonton. The posters accused the RCMP of making me a victim of experiments with "a kind of tele- pathic amplifier that works with microwaves". I asked others who feared they too might have been caught in such "experiments" to contact me..several did..I was not alone. Half of the people who contacted me said they had been subjected to this experimentation when in prison.
In an effort to place my predicament before more people I wrote letters to the daily newspapers. None was ever printed. (The Edmonton Sun did however, later carry a "news" item casually dismissing and denigrating my accusations and efforts to defend myself.)
In May, 1980 I wrote a four page letter to the Finnish ambassador outlying my whole ordeal. I have never even received an acknowledgment that my letter was received .
I laid my concerns before the city police and government agencies such as the Alberta Human Rights Commission and the Alberta Law Enforcement Board. None investigated the matter.
The Alberta Human Rights Commission informed me the matter was beyond their responsibilities as there was no racial discrimi- nation involved.
The Alberta Law Enforcement Commission at first "lost" my letter of complaint. After several visits over a period of two months Mr. R. Smith, a commission employee, promised: "I'll see what I can do." The next day I got a visit from RCMP Corporal G. A. Forbes.
Forbes began his "investigation" by asking my permission to request m;y medical records--records I was never allowed to see myself. I gave permission and I assume Forbes saw my records. At any rate, he contacted me again and said he intended to inves- tigate further. I never heard from him again.
By July and August of 1980 I was more determined than ever to put my revelations before the public. I composed a five page leaflet setting out everything that is included here and distribu- ted 16,000 of them throughout Edmonton.
Again I got several responses from people who claimed to have been victimized as I was and am. But there was no reaction from the news media or any official body .
And, of course, I wrote my MP. Again, no response.
I came to Ottawa, the nation's capital, the place where "the buck stops", in early December of 1980 resolved to spend the little money I have saved in one final attempt to get people to pay attention to this problem.
The pamphlet you are reading now will be the last thing I can do. I have kept back only enough money to return to Finland.
Why doesn't anyone listen to, or grow concerned enough over these charges to investigate further?
A large part of the answer lies with how dependent we are on the major news media to shape our view of reality: if we see it on TV, hear it on the radio or read it in the newspaper it happened--if we don't, it didn't. Blacking out stories like mine--censoring them in fact--is the first line of defense the authorities take in defending or hiding their unethical and illegal activities.
One recent example of how such censorship works comes immediately to mind. On December 30 one Ottawa AM radio station carried news of a program in the U.S. that had carried out the unauthorized sterilization of 70,000 people. The news report went on to say 7,000 of these people lived in the State of Vir- ginia and they had launched a law suit against the government over the matter. One source quoted in the story was the Virginia Civil Rights Association.
Although I heard the item in three newscasts that day on that same station, I monitored other Ottawa radio and television stations and the item was never reported. What is more, the daily newspaper in Ottawa did not carry anything about the story.
Freedom of the press means the freedom not to print the news the powers don't want to be printed.
This blackout technique has a double effect: first, it allows the authorities to keep victims like myself isolated, out of contact with others who may have experienced the same things; second, if information does become public, like my using the posters and now this pamphlet for example, the person behind the publication is considered to be some kind of singular "kook" or "crazy", somebody beyond the fringe of "normal" society.
A second element playing a large part in cutting off investigation into claims like mine is the deliberately bizarre and frightening nature of it all. Telepathic terrorism with microwaves--none of us wants to believe it can happen.
When some people reacted to my posters and leaflets and called the RCMP to protest, the first tactic the police used was to sympathetically explain I was mentally ill. They advised the callers to just tear up my leaflet and forget about it.
(The logical thing for people to then have asked of course, would have been: Why the RCMP didn't arrange, since they knew of my supposed mental illness, my commitment to a mental hospital? If my story was false, why didn't the force launch a libel suit against me? Why, instead, did they allow me to remain free and to distribute my information that could do nothing to help their already tarnished image?)
Adding to the bizarre and unsettling nature of the whole matter is the fact victims of such experiments don't usually understand what really happened to them.
Often there is memory loss or the shock of such experiences is so severe any intelligent and logical recounting of what has gone on is next to impossible. Again, it becomes far easier to believe the victim is suffering from such an unusual kind of mental disorder, than the effects of surreptitious police activi- ty.
All things considered, is it so surprising no one seems to listen or be concerned about these charges?
Mind control with microwaves administered by the RCMP; devices capable of long distance mood, sleep and heartbeat con- trol; victims that are left paralyzed or mentally dead; voices from outer space or from God--it all sounds so weird, so beyond belief.
Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't. But it's not as if things like this--like making ordinary, unsuspecting people into unknow- ing and involuntary "guinea pigs"--it's not as if it hasn't happened before.
It is now known that Japanese used US soldiers as guinea pigs in bacteriological experiments. After the war US army didn't sue these Japanese scientists that have experimented with US P.O.W.'s (prisoners of war), because Japan shared with USA all the information they got in these brutal human experiments. So US army sold the rights of their death soldiers for gain their killers got in human experiments that usually put an end to unlucky US soldiers lives.
The CIA started it's research to control people's minds in 1949 after the end of the second world war. The early research consisted in the search for the truth-serum and use of hypnosis. Victims of these experiments were often suspected spies or double-agents. One of the chemicals that was seen as a potential truth serum was LSD. After some curious scientists had taken small amounts of LSD themselves they started tests with voluntary prisoners. Prisoners, who volunteered in these experiments were mostly heroin addicts and the pay they got from volunteering was usually some amounts of heroin or other drugs they desired. Besides in prisons, experiments started with voluntary college and university students, mental patients and just ordinary American citizens who were picked up by CIA paid hookers and in special rooms that were equipped by two way mirrors and other bugging devices to monitor how LSD disrupts the behavior of unaware subjects. Often the CIA unwittingly dosed people with LSD and then let the local doctor certify the apparent "insanity" of these people. The LSD prophet Timothy Leary got his first knowledge of LSD by volunteering for CIA's mind control experi- ments. John Marks explains in his book "The CIA and Mind Con- trol" how LSD and poisoned mushrooms found their way by CIA's mind control experiments into the hands of voluntary students and the American counterculture.
The files of crimes that were connected to CIA's mind con- trol projects were nearly all destroyed in 1972 after the Watergate scandal by a decision of two CIA officials, Richard Helms and Sid Gottlieb. The most unaware victims that were poisoned by LSD or other drugs haven't gotten any compensation for damages. Also the CIA paid criminals who committed the poisonings and other crimes are still free and American police forces are not willing to find them.
I believe, that whatever form of electromagnetic manipula- tion is used to
control my behavior it could be found out and proved by thorough laboratory
research.
For me, research is too costly and difficult. For example, a good sweep-receiver
costs around 50,000 FMK and it doesn't reveal Dr. Delgado's "Stimoceiver"
type or other sophisticated bugs.
I have gone - with all my evidences - to Finnish Police authorities and asked
for sufficient investigation to find out if there are any marks, devices
or other proofs of electromagnetic manipulation of my brain.
Despite the evidences I had I was unable to get proper investigation from
Finnish Police authorities. More obvious reason than simple stupidity is
that Finnish authorities as authorities in many other countries, appreciate
more good rela- tions with another country than constitutional rights, health
or even life of one Finnish citizen. If police don't investigate crimes of
foreign intelligence services they won't find them. So nothing would cool
warm relations between Finland and another country.
Another way police would use this kind of cases is secret investigation in
which the victim of the crime don't get any information. This makes possible
all kinds of dark deals between departments of foreign affairs.
I have found another person who - besides being a victim of mind-manipulation
experiments - has also written a book of her experiences a a human guinea
pig. The person is Dorothy Burdick and her book has the name "Such Things
Are Known" (1982 Vantage Press, Inc. 516 West 34th St., New Yoirk, NY 100012,
USA).
Dorothy Burdick's experiences are very similar to mine and she has also done
some research to fin out who manipulates her brain and how the manipulation
is done.
The fact that two people with no knowledge of each other have exposed in
the form of book and pamphlet what happens to them means that there are a
group of hundreds or maybe thousands of similar victims of this new manipulation
technique. These people do not know each other. They don't know who is torturing
and manipulating them. Usually these people don't get any help from police
other government authorities or any organizations. They are used a experimental
animals tortured, manipulated, wounded and possibly killed.
I have sent over 40 thousand of these pamphlets to Canada. Most of them I have sent to prominent Canadians, all members of Supreme Court, etc. Also I have sent this pamphlet twice to all members of the Canadain Parliament. One of the members, M. P. Bill Domm has two times asked the head of RCMP, Solicitor General Robert Kaplan to answer accusations I have made. Solicitor General promised to answer, but has eventually delayed answering the matter now over three years. At the same time torture and brain-manipulation of victims has been continuing.
This type of delays and silencing one is seldom seen in democratic countries with working parlimentarianism. People responsible for Canadian law-enforcement and Peirre Trudeaus cabinet above them are playing a kind of Don't see, don't hear, don't know and don't believe game. Adolf Hitler and more recent- ly Argentina's military junta used similar "hard of hearing" technique to hide their brutalities.
My experiences show that there is a microwave manipulation network around the globe. Obviously these installments are made to monitor and manipulate political leaders and other important person, wherever they are.
We live in the year 1984 and "Big Brother" is everywhere.
In 30, January 1981 M. P. Bill Domm sent a letter to solici- tor General Robert Kaplan and asked him to comment upon accusa- tions I had made. In a letter Solicitor General Kaplan promised to find out as well as offer his comments upon my booklet.
Apparently Robert Kaplan found out my accusations were true and correct because in spite of his promise he never replied. If the country had a real, working parliamentary system Robert Kaplan would have been forced to make an honest investigation.
Canadian parliament did not work this way. It remained silent and asked no uncomfortable questions. At the same time as Canadian parliament is exercising "right to maintain silence" innocent people have been used for human experiments, tortured and probably killed.
Behavior like this of the Canadian parliament shows that Canadian democracy exist only on paper. Behind the leading parties' ideological smokescreen is a set of crude Nazi practices. Leaders of the Canadian parliament are silently backing brutal human experiments, very similar to those done by the Nazis, the only difference being the use of immigrants in- stead of Jews.
My possibilities to get justice from the Canadian legal system are about as great as for a Jew trying to get justice from the Nazi Third Reich courts after SS forces had beaten him and burned his house.
If the leaders of Canadian parliament had not known the crimes I have explained in my booklet they would have arranged an investigation that had covered also RCMP's and army's secret files and saved the reputation of Canadian legal standard.
The members of the cabinet try to avoid a whole case. They use police and army authorities as disposable workgloves for their criminal activities. Similarly as Josef Stalin, Richard Nixon and lately Ronald Reagan, they are ready to explain for public that they had been totally unaware of crimes that high police or army officers had organized.
If you want to help me, please write to any member of the Canadian Parliament or the Canadian Prime Minister (address: House of Commons, Ottawa). Ask them to use their powers to restore justice for country, and arrange a public investigation for my case. That investigation should cover also army and police secret files. If you get any answer I should be very happy to know what their response is.
I would be glad of any contact with anyone who has fears they have been similarly victimized or who is just concerned others may have been. Please contact: Martti Koski, Kanervakum- muntie 5, 21290 Rusko, Finland. [Check MCF Victims' Section for current information.]
Besides books above, I'd like to mention Alan V. Shellin & Edward M. Option, Jr. "The Mind Manipulators" (London, Paddington Press, 1978).
