Issa in USA Today: Must Be Accountability for Fast and Furious

As facts continue to emerge about a botched gun investigation of Mexican cartels, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has given the American people reason to doubt his ability to effectively lead the Department of Justice.

His reasoning and judgment will be tested once again Thursday as he testifies about the "Fast and Furious" operation before the House Judiciary Committee.

Nearly a year after a U.S. Border Patrol agent was killed by a weapon linked to the botched operation, Holder's Justice Department has spent far more time and resources trying to salvage the careers of senior officials who knew about the operation than in creating accountability for this tragedy and ensuring that nothing like this will happen again.Read More

CIA Confesses to Kennedy Assassination
Excerpts from Fatal Rebirth,with commentary
A Feral House Book by H. Michael Sweeney

Note: A lot of good people have spent decades chasing after an elusive and fragmented truth with respect to the JFK assassination. Most of them have earned only scorn and name calling as 'conspiracy buffs' or 'conspiracy theorists' by media and government disinformation resources. Many of them continue today without knowledge that the truth has largely been admitted by the group responsible. Many of the conspiracy hunters have been vindicated, while others still search in hopes of that 'smoking gun.' But what better smoking gun than a confession? And we have one! Read it here! It is now time to seek to go beyond JFK as far as wrestling with the various conspiracy theories. There is no need to waste energy there. There are now bigger questions to ask.
JFK died for a reason. The gunmen that pulled the trigger are nothing more than the extension of a greater unseen power, a power with the motive. Cracking that is where I would suggest your efforts should turn next -- instead of making/defending the many alternative theories as to who did the deed itself (though some names are not yet known, and other names, like Bush, need more concrete ties drawn). Who did it is visible, who directed and who ordered them to do it, is less visible -- though their shimmering form can be seen and seems to be firming up.
Take the trail to the the Three and Five "I"s, being careful to avoid the false leads suggesting they refer to the identities of Permindex, Division Five, American Council of Christian Churches, the Solidarists, and DISC. There are connections between the two assassinated Kennedys that are so ironic as to exceed the Greek tragedies. Go back to square one to the formation of OSS/CIA Follow the money from there forward. Remember: "The fascists are coming.". If you know what a fascist is... you know what an elitist is... you know what a globalist is...
You might also ask: If CIA were to undertake an assassination of an American President (or anyone else), would not they lay careful contingency plans? What plan would they make for it going completely wrong, and blame coming back to Langley? How would they survive the public wrath had the media known and published the truth in '64 instead of publishing the Warren Commission?
The answer is a secret CIA within CIA (Shadow), one able to operate on its own infrastructure, and able to fund its own way through crime. Should Langley die, CIA would survive, but completely invisible and free of government oversight -- something that might eventually be better for dark deeds than having CIA In fact, it might even explain why CIA is willing to expose itself to the JFK noose at this time: Shadow may well be fully prepared to replace CIA today. If such a thing as Shadow were to exist, what would it look like and do? The answer just might be the history since Kennedy (both history perceived through media filters and the reality of hidden truths behind the headlines), which can be expressed in oversimplified math, a math which some may not understand:
U2 + Lee Oswald = neutering of Ike; 40 + 40 + 40 = death of Camelot; Vietnam + Tonkin = Asian drug supply; Robert Vesco + Nugan Hand = financial superstructure; Langley - proprietaries being disbanded = infrastructure (free of congressional oversight); Watergate + 5 Break Ins = Assassination of Nixon; Paisley "murder" + Bush = CIA purge (freeing agents for insertion into public sector and segregating agents by loyalties); War on Drugs = South American drug supply; MK-ULTRA/Artichoke + Cult Awareness Network = RFK (and more, including Jones Town and Waco); METC UNIT = WTC, OK; Evergreen + Gordon's = Orange shipments (capable of producing two kinds of highs); NSA + Clipper/Chipper = NRO in every home; Iran/Contra + Bush/Secord = Lockerbee; CFR + Trilateral Commission = Secret Government; LEA + NIA = In-place assets, Liddy Institute; Ingram + BR Fox = Offshore Murder, Inc. Arms Supply; ADL + B'nai Brith + CIA + Law Enforcement = Networking spy data on American Citizens; Media + CIA = Reuters, K. Graham, Time-Warner, CBS, Hilton Knowles and the rest; and I think I had better stop because I'm bound to have made enough enemies already or tossed out more than you care to consider, anyway. These are some of the things we discuss in our Group -- the greater issue of the war at hand, not just one lost battle in 1963.
Enough food for thought -- here is the post from the CIA news group. Be warned, however, that I have already had comment from CIA apologists who have been attacking this material for years by use of the 25 Rules of Disinformation (variants on misdirection, confusion, non-logic logic, disinformation, disparaging attacks on sources, and so forth), and they are well prepared to use their arguments on you. Should you be unprepared to deal with the trickery of their non-arguments, just ask two questions of them when they do -- and they must wither away. If there are any better confessions from other sources out there, where are they (can they provide an alternative conclusion with better credentials -- or are they just attacking this one)? In absence of other officious proofs, why do they try so hard to destroy this one? Know your enemy by their actions.
CIA Confesses to Kennedy Assassination
Trial Testimony by Deposition Under Oath of CIA agent Marita Lorenz
From the Defamation Trial of E. Howard Hunt vs. Liberty Lobby
United States District Court for Southern District of Florida, January 1985

What follows is the ultimate indictment of E. Howard Hunt and other Operation 40 CIA (AKA Operation Zapata, AKA Bay of Pigs Invasion) agents for the murder of John Kennedy. That not one media representative present at the trial dared print a single word indicts media as being Shadow controlled. That this same testimony was given to FBI within days of the assassination is an indictment of the Justice Department as being Shadow controlled. That the judge presiding over the trial did not order follow-up investigation or indictments for murder is an indictment of the court system as being Shadow controlled. That the same testimony was given the Rockefeller Commission (CFR/Bilderberger/TriLateralist) House Select Committee on Assassinations and nothing was done with the information is an indictment of Congressional oversight as being Shadow controlled.
Beyond the virtual confession, it is clear that what is taking place here is that CIA (not only by virtue of the testimony, but also by virtue of cross questioning directed by CIA provided defense lawyers which seemed deliberately designed to maximize damage and bring out the facts) is hanging Hunt and select other CIA out to dry, 'twisting in the wind'. This is likely a means of neutralizing and punishing Hunt for his blackmail of CIA -- a move made safer by virtue of having captured the cartons of evidence from flight 553 after its 'crash' on schedule and on target where 50 'FBI agents' awaited it (a grand conspiracy worthy of further investigation on its own right - start with Big Brother and the Holding Company).
I strongly suggest you read Mark Lane's chilling work, Plausible Denial, from which this material was first made public.
Note commercial plug>: Shadow is this author's name for what Daniel Sheenan of the Christic Institute describes as the Secret Team, those elements of CIA and the military-industrial-intelligence-media complex which seek to serve an agenda other than national security. Shadow is the central villain in Fatal Rebirth, a prophetic glimpse of what lies ahead based on the revelations of the would-be secret past -- with over 500 foot notes and an Appendix section which is itself book sized. Fatal Rebirth was born amid a 007 adventure forced on the author when he came into possession of a document someone in the intelligence world took strong exception to -- a document detailing many sins of intel and their true masters within the secret government. Analysis and investigation was undertaken in self defense, an effort soon joined by several former intel operatives and at least one 'Deep Throat' from within the enemy camp. This revealed much about who and why, and provided the puzzle pieces needed to make sense of it all. Publisher interest welcomed. <end of commercial plug>.

A. No.

Cross Examination to follow. Note: According to Liberty Lobby lawyer, Mark Lane, Lorenz had confided outside of testimony that she got out of Dallas quickly because 'I knew that this was different from other jobs. This was not just gun running. This was big, very big, and I wanted to get out. I told Sturgis I wanted to leave. He said it was a very big operation but that my part was not dangerous. I was to be a decoy. Before he could go further, I said please let me get out. I want to go back to my baby in Miami. Finally he agreed and drove me to the airport.' She further stated she would not reveal the names of others in the cars going to Dallas because 'They killed Kennedy. I don't want to be the one to reveal their names; it's too dangerous.'However, it would seem apparent that perhaps the agency no longer wished to provide Hunt with any level of protection -- perhaps because they did not like being blackmailed. The evidence for this conclusion lies in the additional information volunteered during cross examination which Mark Lane was unable to obtain himself, directly. Since Lorenz had been coached by CIA council (on what Agency would permit her to say) who also worked with Hunt's CIA sponsored council, it would appear that perhaps the CIA' vested interest was actually working against their 'client', Hunt, rather than for him. In fact, Hunt's whole problem of being accused of being in Dallas surfaced only because former CIA agent Victor Marchetti claimed in 1978 Hunt was in Dallas and Liberty Lobby dared to publish the story. As you read, note how both the lawyer and Lorenz tend to volunteer or bring out information more than called for, and how nothing in the cross examination aids the defense or nullifies earlier testimony. Defense would have been better off not to challenge the witness. It would seem a deliberate confession.
It should also be pointed out that Lorenz says she was inducted into CIA in 1959, and that apparently she and Frank Sturgis worked together early on -- suggesting that even when she was supposedly working for the New York Police Department and the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration). If true, this would make her and Sturgis illegal in-place CIA operatives within the DEA and NYPD -- likely working under CIA Operation Phoenix assassin king, Lou Conein (founding leader of DEA), to help eliminate drug lords not under CIA control or being supplied by CIA, and to protect CIA conduits and suppliers, the true purpose of the 'War on Drugs'.

THE AMERICAN FAMILY FOUNDATION

CULT AWARENESS NETWORK

The American Family Foundation comes highly recommended by the apologetics organizations––Evangelical Ministries to New Religions/EMNR, Spiritual Counterfeits Project/SCP, and Christian Research Institute/CRI. Ronald Enroth, who is associated with all three organizations is on the American Family Foundation’s Advisory Board for the AFF publication––Cultic Studies Journal. [See CSJ advisory board listing below.] AFF also publishes a newsletter––the Cult Observer.

EMNR’s Craig Branch acknowledges in his EMNR bio that he holds a position at the American Family Foundation.

“K. Craig Branch is President of the Apologetics Resource Center [hotlink to Branch’s own apologetics web site/ org which is listed as a member org of EMNR]. He co-authored the book Thieves of Innocence with John Ankerberg [hotlink to Branch’s associate Ankerberg; a member of the secret Council for National Policy] and he has had articles published in the Watchman Expositor, Vantage Point,Christian Research Institute Journal, Spiritual Counterfeits Journal and New Man Magazine [NMM is the publication supporting the work of Promise Keepers]. Craig also serves as a Board member of Wellspring (a residential rehab center for victims of cult abuse) and as chairman of the Clergy Relations Committee for the American Family Foundation. Craig is an acknowledged expert in the area of New Age influences in education, and this knowledge of cultic influences was instrumental in passing an Alabama regulation protecting children from New Age practices in the public schools. Adding to his knowledge was the ten years he spent as a Unitarian prior to becoming a Christian. His expertise has led to his being a frequent speaker at colleges, seminaries and conferences. Craig is an ordained Minister in the Evangelical Church Alliance.”

We arrive at Branch’s Apologetics Research Center/ARC web site by clicking the hotlink on the EMNR web site. ARC/Branch is presently promoting two conferences on the his ‘UPCOMING APOLOGETICS CONFERENCES’ page.

Interestingly the first conference is offered by the apologists at the American Family Foundation. Consider that the AFF conferences are NOT Christian. They are led by psychologists and psychiatrists!! Through the EMNR/Evangelical Ministries to New Religions web site Christians are being directed to whoever the ‘experts’ are at AFF:

In Review [two books recommended by SCP on the cults; emphasis added]

Combatting Cult Mind Control by Steve Hassan

Cults & Consequences: the Definitive Handbook

Since New Testament times, the Christian Church has set a standard of orthodoxy by carefully defining its beliefs and practice, often in response to heresy. In Jude, the writer urges, “Contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints.”

In contemporary times, several evangelical organizations, dubbed “cult watchers” have sprung up to carry on this task. For these, the term “cult” defines any religious group which deviates from the norm of biblical teaching.

More recently, cult watchers from the behavioral sciences have defined cultism, not theologically, but by considering sociological and psychological factors. For these, the goal is to establish a norm of behavior in religious groups, particularly in the areas of recruitment and control. Groups deviating from that norm are, in this perspective, “cults.”

Two recently published books, written for a popular audience, deal with cultism from this behavioral viewpoint. Steve Hassan’s Combatting Cult Mind Control [1988] should be available from any major bookstore chain. Hassan was a member of the Unification Church (Moonies) for over two years and rose to the rank of Assistant director of the Church’s national headquarters. In chapter two, he describes his “life in the Unification Church,” how he had been “lied to, manipulated, and robbed of his identity.”…After being “deprogrammed,” Hassan earned a Master’s degree in counseling, became national Coordinator of FOCUS, a support and information network, and is active in helping people exit cults.

The book gives us three chapters, liberally documented with case studies, that describe cultic manipulation. Three other chapters deal with prevention and how to help others. There are valuable insights here for anyone interested in evangelism who understands cult theology butneed to grasp the psychological dynamics of cults and cultists as well.

In the chapter “Unlocking Cult Mind Control,” Hassan outlines the eight “keys” for successful intervention he uses in his “non-coercive approach to exit counseling.” While his presentation is not a “sales Pitch” for his services, a word of caution is in order. Consult a pastor or spiritual advisor familiar with cults before engaging a professional to help a friend or relative involved. Hassan wrote the book “to contribute a practical , informative guide to the problems people deal with in encountering the influence of destructive cults” He has done just that. The volume will offer significant help to many and probably become a best seller in the process..

Cults & Consequences [Edited by R. Anres and J. Lane. Commission on Cults & Missionaries, 1989], published by the Jewish Federation Council of Greater Los Angeles, is a compendium of contributions from several authors. While short sections are directed to the Jewish community, “Most of this book does not specifically address questions of theology,” but is concerned with the “deceptive proselytizing and unethical conduct” of cults. True to its subtitle, this volume is a handbook, the table of contents reflecting typical questions the issue of cults raises: “What is a cult?” “Why do cults attract? “What can parents do when their child becomes involved in a cult?” The volume also covers questions about deprogramming and exit counseling, rehabilitation after leaving a cult, and legal issues.

The answers come as short entries by various contributors among them: Dr. Margaret Thaler Singer, Professor of Psychology at U.C. Berkeley; Dr. Michael Langone of the American Family Foundation; Steve Hassan, author of Combatting Cult Mind Control reviewed above; and Dr. Ronald Enroth, Professor of Sociology at Westmont College and member of the Board of Directors for SCP… The book may be ordered from the Jewish Federation Council of Los Angeles…

Combatting Cult Mind Control and Cults & Consequences are two books which will give us a better understanding of cults and call us to more careful scrutiny of our own evangelistic methods. -- Dave Sheffel

Editor’s Note: Hassan is no stranger to the American Family Foundation. The AFF 2002 conference Understanding Cults and New Religious Movements -- Perspectives of Researchers, Professionals, Former Members, and Families will include as speaker Steve Hassan whose topic will be: Releasing the Bonds: Empowering People to Think for Themselves. Others mentioned in this report are scheduled speakers: Michael Langone [AFF], Margaret T. Singer [AFF], Eileen Barker [LSE/CESNUR], Paul Carden [Apologia], and Paul R. Martin [Wellspring] whose topics will be: Brainwashing, Social Psychology, and the Courts and Advances in Psychological Research.

Ronald Enroth and associate Paul R. Martin at CRI and EMNR Conferences…

Ronald Enroth’s name appeared in the Christian Research Institute’s CRI JOURNAL masthead as Contributing Editor from SPRING 1991 until FALL 1994, although only one of the issues during this time frame carried an article ascribed to him–– ‘Ethical Problems in Exit Counseling,’ co-authored with William Alnor. Ronald Enroth was a speaker at EMNR’s Rockford Conference on Discernment and Evangelism, 1989 [Topic: Churches on the Fringe]; he spoke at the 1995 and 19997 EMNR Conferences.

Paul R. Martin was also listed in the CRI JOURNAL as Contributing Editor from SUMMER 1992 to SPRING 1996 and like Enroth, very few articles appearing in the journals are under his name. He was a speaker at EMNR’s Rockford Conference on Discernment and Evangelism [Topic: Psychological Aspects of Cultic Involvement], the EMNR conference 1994 [Topic: Rehabilitating the ex-cultist] and the 1995 EMNR conference. Personal Freedom Outreach is a member org of EMNR. Martin was a speaker at PFO’s Saint Louis Conference on Biblical Discernment in 2000 [Topic: Accepting the Validity of Mind Control] and Saint Louis Conference on Biblical Discernment 2002

Can it be assumed that both Enroth and Martin worked at Christian Research Institute [Walter Martin / Hank Hannegraaff] in a supervisory capacity?

The edited portion of ‘Ethical Problems in Exit,’ below, highlights certain details which CRI’s Alnor and Enroth bring out –– what do they know about the counter cult ministries and who do they recommend?

The following article can be read in full at the web location given for CRI files.

High praises for CAN and AFF — Craig Branch of EMNR and Bill Kellogg of SCP learn how to do exit counseling from AFF/CAN. Paul Martin of Wellspring and AFF becomes CAN board member.

Ethical Problems in Exit Counseling

by William M. Alnor and Ronald Enroth

Christian Research Journal, Winter 1992

…This article, the result of an informal but extensive inquiry, is about exit counseling. During the past year or so the authors have spoken with many of the chief exit counselors in the country, and have consulted with many experts concerning the topic. We have also consulted with various evangelical countercult and apologetics ministries familiar with exit counseling. In order to insure a balanced approach, we have also spoken with -- or read materials from -- some of the most vociferous critics of the practice (and of countercult ministries and organizations), including spokespersons from various "religious liberty" groups that are often funded by the cult groups themselves.

LOOSE CANNONS?

The result of our inquiry is that out of approximately 15 major exit counselors operating in America, only a few appear to conduct themselves in a manner that communicates a sense of integrity and ethical concern. The field of exit counseling is full of men and women operating like loose cannons in a shadowy world of secrecy that contains little or no controls on their activities and offers little or no enforcement of ethical standards. Further, the amount of money major exit counselors charge is often excessive and unjustifiable, especially since in many instances their clients are vulnerable parents -- driven by panic over the conviction that their children are involved in a cult. Fees in excess of $20,000 per case are not unusual.

Many exit counselors at times engage in activities that are unethical at best and illegal at worst. They do this by participating in cases where consenting adults (over 18 years of age) are physically accosted, tricked, and sometimes kidnapped; thrown into rented vans; and held against their will in some cases for weeks at a time. During these ordeals the exit counselors try to talk them out of their cultic involvement…

THE BRIGHTER SIDE OF EXIT COUNSELING

Although only a handful of exit counselors (in our opinion) are succeeding at being professional and ethical in their endeavors, it is nevertheless true that many other exit counselors, whose activities we cannot endorse, have sometimes had a beneficial effect in helping people leave cults…

CAN EXIT COUNSELORS POLICE THEMSELVES?

We applaud several recent secular anticult organizations' efforts to clean up the field. In the past few years there have been initiatives within both the Cult Awareness Network and the American Family Foundation toward creating ethical standards by which exit counselors can police themselves. However, we are skeptical about these moves, particularly when the guidelines are only voluntary and enforcement is dubious. More troublesome is what appears to be a built-in conflict of interest; the monitoring committees are run by exit counselors who themselves may have a vested interest in keeping their fees high and who may be tempted to protect their colleagues. Moreover, some of these same exit counselors are under review by other cultwatchers over alleged unethical activities surrounding their businesses, personal lives, and exit counseling practices.

For example, according to Carol Giambalvo of Florida (a highly regarded exit counselor), a committee of exit counselors met during theCult Awareness Network's 1991 annual conference in Oklahoma City to take up the issue of ethical standards…

Some Positive Developments

We know of Christian exit counselors who believe it is wrong to set a daily price on what they view as being the Lord's work. One Christian exit counselor from the Midwest, who wants little to do with the Cult Awareness Network due to its secular approach… Along the same lines, there are some interesting developments within the evangelical cult-watching community where some are becoming increasingly involved in voluntary (i.e., no kidnapping) exit counseling as part of their ministries. Craig Branch of the Watchman Fellowship (along with others associated with that ministry) already does limited voluntary exit counseling…Steve Hassan, a highly regarded Jewish exit counselor from Boston (and author of Combatting Cult Mind Control, [see Spiritual Counterfeits Project book review/endorsement of Hassan’s bookabove] has assisted Watters, even so far as conducting a seminar for Bethel ministries, teaching them how to assist people out of cults that utilize mind control. And Bill Kellogg, who heads the counseling ministries for the Spiritual Counterfeits Project (SCP) of Berkeley, California, has recently gotten involved in exit counseling. He has been drawing on the work of Carol Giambalvo (who wrote a helpful booklet offered by the Cult Awareness Network called Exit Counseling: A Family Intervention). Kellogg says that when people ask him what his fee is, he tells them they can make a voluntary gift to SCP if they want to.

Another positive development in the field of exit counseling is the fact that the largest rehabilitation center in America designed primarily for former cult members is the Wellspring Retreat and Resource Center in Ohio, a facility run by evangelical Christians. Because of Wellspring's effectiveness in helping former cult members acclimate to life outside the cults in a nonsectarian fashion, it hasgained the respect and support of many of those associated with the secular Cult Awareness Network (CAN), the secularAmerican Family Foundation, and even Jewish exit counselors. Many exit counselors, including those we have problems with, refer members of cults to Wellspring following the successful completion of their cases. Recently psychologist Paul Martin, the founder and director of Wellspring, was named as a CAN board member.

KIDNAPPED AND DEPROGRAMMED

Steve Hassan was kidnapped and deprogrammed against his will in the mid 1970s after he became involved with Rev. Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church. As a result, he doesn't endorse any kind of situation in which adults are kidnapped.

The Father of Deprogramming

It was Ted Patrick who first coined the term "deprogramming" in the early 1970s. His best-selling book, Let Our Children Go! (Thomas Congden Press, 1976), made the practice even more popular as it helped inspire several movies showing "deprogrammers" in a positive light.… Earlier, in 1974, Patrick helped found the Citizens' Freedom Foundation, which evolved into the Cult Awareness Network. [5] However, Hassan noted that "Patrick's success...was far from universal, and numbers of unsuccessful rescue attempts returned to their group and sued him as well as family members…

THE EMERGENCE OF EXIT COUNSELING

By the mid 1980s a new philosophy emerged in the place of deprogramming. The practice, known as "exit counseling," is based on the recognition of and respect for the conscious will of the cult member. The Cult Awareness Network no longer advocates deprogramming and its national board does not endorse abduction or false imprisonment, but rather voluntary exit counseling. It [CAN] has also for some time been distancing itself from Mr. Patrick…

See note RE: CFF, CAN and Ted Partick below

OTHER PROBLEMS

Additional problems facing the evolving "profession" of exit counseling (some of which we've already alluded to) are a lack of appropriate educational credentials, deficient accountability structures, inadequate follow-up, and the fact that certain evangelical exit counselors believe it "unethical" to guide cult members into a fuller understanding of correct biblical doctrine.

On educational credentials, we know of only one prominent exit counselor, Steve Hassan, who has advanced master's-degree level training in counseling. He is correct in calling for more professionalism in the field. This would give greater credibility to an occupation that is often associated with shadowy operations.

Mentioned in the CRI/Enroth and Alnor article above—Carol Giambalvo of AFF…

Giambalvo recommended by F.A.C.T. Net:

Cult Expert, Exit Counselor, Author, Lecturer

Since 1984, Carol Giambalvo has done exit counseling, lecturing, and writing in the field of thought reform, as well as serving as director with several organization’s boards, organizing and conducting recovery workshops and working with hundreds of people who have walked away from destructive cults. Her various job titles include thought reform consultant, family intervention specialist, cult information specialist, author, and lecturer. Ms. Giambalvo has a deep commitment to the recovery of individuals who have been part of a thought reform program, a group that was psychologically or spiritually abusive, or an abusive relationship.

Carol Giambalvo, who also attended the CAN conference, found in it "an exciting opportunity to see old friends," as well as to share information. Her book, Exit Counseling: A Family Intervention (AFF, 1992), is doing very well in its revised second edition, and it has been the subject of inquiries by distributors in Australia, she's happy to report.

RESPONSE [CRI’s letter section]

Notice: In the Summer 1992 JOURNAL I defended the assertion of our Winter 1992 article, ‘Ethical Problems in Exit Counseling,” that controversial deprogrammer Ted Patrick helped found Citizens Freedom Foundation (CFF), now known as Cult Awareness Network (CAN). However, documentation supplied to me by CAN indicates that Patrick neither called the founding meeting of CFF nor participated in the organization thereafter. Therefore we must retract this statement.

Editors Note: CAN is making the point that Patrick was not the founder of CFF but CAN is not refuting the fact that CAN emerged out of CFF; i.e., CFF=CAN=CFF, as reported in the CRI JOURNAL article by Enroth and Alnor, above.

Interesting footnote RE: Alnor and Enroth

William Alnor has long-since severed his associations with Christian Research Institute. He had worked at CRI as early as 1987 and about that same time, according to Constance Cumbey, “Bill Alnor went on to head EMNR (what a surprise-cec)”; leaving CRI sometime in the early 1990s.

Much of the material on his web site today –– The Alnor Report/Cult Link is about the people, ongoing problems at CRI and problems with Hank Hanegraaff. Alnor continues to recommend, however, the work of Ronald Enroth to his readers. See the article by Bill Alnor about the Ronald Enroth vs. Jon Trott of Jesus People USA/JPUSA* dispute.

“…I responded by launching my own investigation on Enroth's research and found that instead of his research being faulty, it was excellent and very easy to prove. It was obvious that Enroth, in taking on this courageous project, had done the church a great service in tactfully and scripturally pointing out the problems of JPUSA in a loving, but respectful way. I responded by reporting the truth to the ministry, and with presenting an audio tape of some deeply hurt former members of JPUSA to the entire board that I developed independently.

“Further, I became very disturbed over the behavior of JPUSA -- and especially with that of Jon Trott, and that of various others who came to the defense of JPUSA -- some of whom had and still have a clear financial connection to the group.** Among the defenders of JPUSA have been Bob and Gretchen Passantino, Elliot Miller of the Christian Research Institute, and Dr. Norman Geisler of Southern Evangelical Seminary…”

Linked to Alnor’s article is a Response by Ronald Enroth on the same subject.

Editor’s Note:

Jon Trott of Jesus People USA/JPUSA –– on the Internet are several web sites which carry detailed histories of Jesus People USA. This would be interesting background information for us all; especially since Eric Pement of JPUSA’s Cornerstone magazine is on the EMNR board; especially since Jon Trott of Cornerstone will be working with John Morehead [EMNR President] to carry out the EMNR missiological paradigm [ministry to the frontiers of the New Religions] through Sacred Tribes < http://www.sacredtribes.com/

The above illustrates the fact that Alnor continues to be associated with Enroth—Alnor carrying Enroth’s writing on his web site—the same Ronald Enroth who is on the Cultic Studies Journal advisory board for American Family Foundation. [see below]

Paul R. Martin—Director of Wellspring

Board Member of Cult Awareness Network [CAN]

Advisory Member of American Family Foundation / Cultic Studies Journal [CSJ]

In the Christian Research Institute’s article “Ethical Problems in Exit Counseling” Ronald Enroth and William Alnor recommend Paul R. Martin’s Wellspring Retreat Center:

“Another positive development in the field of exit counseling is the fact that the largest rehabilitation center in America designed primarily for former cult members is the Wellspring Retreat and Resource Center in Ohio, a facility run by evangelical Christians.”

They revealed another Paul Martin connection:

“Recently psychologist Paul Martin, the founder and director of Wellspring, was named as a CAN board member.”

Psychologist Paul R. Martin

Paul R. Martin, Ph. D., is a licensed psychologist and clinical counselor, and is a former member of an abusive religious group. He is the director of Wellspring Retreat and Resource Center in Albany, Ohio. Wellspring is a residential treatment facility that provides a program of counseling and instruction to victims of cultic abuse, religious abuse, and/or mind control. Dr. Martin presented: ‘The Non-Negotiable Factors in Cult Recovery’ to theLeo J. Ryan Foundation conference in Oct. 2001.

Ed. Note: There is an interlocking relationship between American Family Foundation, Cult Awareness Network and Leo J. Ryan Foundation, see below.

Paul R. Martin co-authored CRI Journal, Winter 1993 with Michael Langone who was identified as “executive director of the American Family Foundation”:

‘Deprogramming, Exit Counseling, and Ethics—Clarifying the Confusion’

by Michael D. Langone and Paul R. Martin

Wellspring Retreat and Resource Center—Director, Paul R. Martin

In their article for Christian Research Institute, above, Wellspring was recommended to Christian Research Journal readers by Alnor and Enroth as “a facility run by evangelical Christians.”

Wellspring is recommended by the CultInfo web site as a Resource-Support Group “run by mental health professionals.” [Cult Info was formerlyCult Awareness Network/CAN and now Leo J. Ryan Foundation]

Evangelical Christians or mental health professionals?

The Wellspring literature, Wellspring web site info and Dr. Paul R. Martin’s credentials speak for themselves:

The Wellspring Brochure states:

“…helping cult victims from post-exit trauma to traditional therapy… The center was designed to assist those still struggling with emotional, relational, and psychological issues after exiting a cultic situation… Wellspring’s treatment plan is a multifaceted approach. Clients receive daily counseling and workshops from professionals who, themselves, have been hurt by cults. Counselors help clients reconstruct their experience and then place that experience within the framework of the coercive persuasion model articulated in the early 1960's by Dr. Robert J. Lifton in his work Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism. The workshops supplement the counseling sessions, further examining the dynamics of cultic manipulation. Thetreatment staff also helps clients with theological issues if they so desire. Wellspring’s clinical success is documented in published outcome studies, and the center continues to participate in a research program conducted in conjunction with the Ohio University Department of Psychology.

Paul Martin & the American Family Foundation

In 1986 Paul Martin was a presenter to the 2^nd Annual Behavior Modification Conference. Martin is listed on the American Family Foundation/ AFF’s advisory board for their publication the Cultic Studies Journal.

“Dr. Martin is a member of AFF's Victim Assistance Committee and is helping to develop a post-cult assessment instrument that can help professionals working with cult-leavers who have received no exit counseling or rehabilitation (the vast majority). He is alsocollaborating with AFF's Michael Langone on a clinical inquiry to determine what cult-related distress looks like, what factors can be identified to predict cult-related damage, and whether or not certain kinds of treatment work.”

In the article which Dr. Paul R. Martin wrote for Christian Research Institute’s CRI JOURNAL in Winter/Spring 1989, he acknowledges his great respect for Margaret Thaler Singer:

Dispelling the Myths: Psychological Consequences of Cultic Involvement

by Paul R. Martin

…MYTH ONE

Ex-cult members do not have psychological problems. Their problems are wholly spiritual.

Although often believed by both Christians and ex-cultists, myth #1 has no basis in reality. As a result of extensive research with some 3,000 ex-cultists, Dr. Margaret Singer observed significant instances of depression, loneliness, anxiety, low self-esteem, overdependence, confusion, inability to concentrate, somatic complaints, and, at times, psychosis. [1] In addition to Singer's authoritative research, there are many articles and books that describe the psychological distress of ex-cultists. (Many of these findings will be referred to in the body of this article.)

My own experience verifies the findings of Dr. Singer…

American Family Foundation/AFF

AFF is a nonprofit, tax-exempt research center and educational organization founded in 1979. AFF's mission is to study psychological manipulation and cultic groups, to educate the public and professionals, and to assist those who have been adversely affected by a cult-related experience. AFF consists of a professional staff and a growing network of more than 150 volunteer professionals in fields ranging from education, psychology, and religion to journalism, law enforcement, and business.

AFF addresses the problems posed by cults and other destructive groups through programs and projects in three areas:

1. Project Recovery improves the quality of services for former cult members, their families, and helping professionals by offering workshops, conferences, and a range of publications, videotapes, and other practical resources.

2. Project Alert encourages public discussion of cults and related issues and educates youth, the general public, professionals, and the media. AFF develops and distributes preventive education materials and services to clergy and educators through its special program, the International Cult Education Program (ICEP).

3. Project Discover conducts, encourages, and contributes to scientific research and writing projects designed to increase the public's and professionals' understanding of how cult victims can be helped and how cults affect individuals, families, and society.

AFF Announcement ~ Louis Jolyon West, has died

Louis West has died -- a cult expert and member of AFF's Cultic Studies Journal editorial advisory

LOS ANGELES, Jan 7 (Reuters)

Psychiatrist Louis Jolyon West, an expert on cults, torture and brainwashing who examined Jack Ruby and Patricia Hearst during their trials, has died at age 74, associates said on Thursday.

A spokesman for the University of California at Los Angeles, where West was in charge of the Neuropsychiatric Institute for 20 years before his retirement in 1989, said he died on Saturday of cancer at his home in Los Angeles.

West frequently worked as a court-appointed psychiatrist. After examining Ruby, the killer of President John F. Kennedy's assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, West concluded Ruby was suffering from ``major mental illness precipitated by the stress of (his) trial.''

The psychiatrist was also one of four experts who examined newspaper heiress Patty Hearst, who was kidnapped by the so-called Symbionese Liberation Army and who later joined its ranks as a bank robber.

The panel found her sane and fit to stand trial, but West wrote that she was ``psychologically damaged as a result of torture by the SLA.''

The experts also urged that Hearst receive treatment for her mental illness before her 1976 trial, but the court ignored the recommendation. ``The government finished the destruction of her life started by an anti-government group,'' West said after Hearst was convicted. Her prison sentence was commuted by President Jimmy Carter in 1979.

A civil rights activist, West was the first white psychiatrist to go to South Africa to testify on behalf of black prisoners during the apartheid era.

During the Korean War he studied brainwashing and torture. He said at the time that American prisoners of war had falsely confessed to engaging in germ warfare because their captors had instilled a sense of guilt in them through solitary confinement, prolonged sleeplessness and physical abuse, which he called the classic tools of brainwashing.

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, West said the behaviour of cult members and kidnapping victims was driven by the “three 'Ds' - debility, dread and dependence.''

"A prisoner is debilitated by inactivity, by sleep loss, or worse, by physical harm. He is filled with dread by constant threats of pain or death or harm to his family. He is rendered completely dependent upon his captors for information, food, shelter, life,'' West said.

West, who was born the son of poor Russian Jewish immigrants in Madison, Wisconsin, is survived by his wife Kathryn, son John and daughters Anne and Mary.

Brief history of the OLD CAN and the NEW CAN

The original of OLD Cult Awareness Network/CAN purported to be an organization set up to help victims and families of cults. Some of their radical techniques for rescuing cult members, including claims that the people they were rescuing were victims of torture and sexual abuse by CAN, came under attack.

In 1996 the Church of Scientology filed a lawsuit against the OLD Cult Awareness Network based on a member who had been kidnapped by CAN. The OLD CAN filed bankruptcy, closing its doors. The Church of Scientology then adopted the name new CAN/Cult Awareness Network. People who contact CAN today are getting their resources directly from the Church of Scientology.

Editor’s Note: Gordon Melton is listed on the new CAN/Cult Awareness Network’s Professional Referral page. He serves as a CESNUR apologist for the Church of Scientology.

The OLD Cult Awareness Network/CAN, after filing bankruptcy due to several lawsuits lodged against it by the Church of Scientology in the mid-1990s, closed its doors and later emerged as the Cult Information Network/ Cult Info which more recently became the Leo J. Ryan Foundation. The LRF newsletter and web site retain the name Cult Info as projects of the Leo J. Ryan Foundation.

Beyond this point research becomes very murky as to what facts are reliable. Ongoing turf wars between AFF-associated people, such as Louis Jolyon West [possibly linked with intelligence] and the Church of Scientology [more intelligence] make it difficult to discern where the truth actually lies.

The following notation was found in the F.A.C.T.Net, Inc. files, placing Louis Jolyon West and Margaret Singer at an old CAN conference:

14 Cult Awareness Network Conference 1992

The Chicago-based Cult Awareness Network' s annual national conference will take place at the Ramada Renaissance Hotel in Los Angeles November 5-8. Entitled "Upholding Integrity: Cults Invade Our Communities, Our Families, Ourselves, "the convocation includes among program speakers and workshop presenters entertainer Steve Allen and such nationally recognized experts as Louis Jolyon West, M.D., of UCLA, Dr. Margaret Singer of the University of California (Berkeley), and Dr. Robert Cialdini of Arizona State University, author of Influence. [The last three speakers are associated with the American Family Foundation, publisher of The Cult Observer].

A Church of Scientology web site makes the claim that from 1974-89 Louis Jolyon West received $5 mil in CIA funding:

“Between 1974 and 1989, [Louis Jolyon] West received at least $5,110,099 in grants from the federal government, channeled through the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), a major funding conduit for CIA programs. Many millions more poured into the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute that West headed, including over $14 million in federal funds in one fiscal year before he stepped down.”

A Lyndon LaRouche publication, The New Federalist, carries an article warning about the Cult Awareness Network/CAN:

‘WARNING—The Cult Awareness Network Can be Dangerous to Your Health.’ [no date]

A flow chart shows a complicated web of interconnections—four levels—feeding into CAN [at bottom] from above, including funding from the Scaife Foundation, CIA and FBI involvement, and the Anti-Defamation League [ADL]. At the second level from the top is the American Family Foundation; at the top are two organizations: Tavistock Institute, London and the Frankfurt School for Social Research.

The article states:

“The American Family Foundation (AFF) is the “mother” of CAN. The AFF is composed of premier psychiatrists and psychologists [see AFF listing above] such as Dr. Louis Jolyn [sic] West and Dr. Margaret Singer, who were major participants in the CIA’s mass drug-pushing project. Known as MK-Ultra, the CIA’s project experimented with the use of LSD, the synthetic narcotic seminal in creating the rock/drug/sex counterculture…

“Trained in group dynamics at the British Tavistock Institute, the ‘mother’ agency for most of the post-war Anglo-American intelligence and ‘dirty tricks’ apparatus, West set out to employ the manipulation of group behavior with hallucinogenic drugs. He ran ‘field studies’ in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco in the early 1960s to study the effect of drugs on youth, at a time when LSD was making it into the ‘Bohemian’ groups via the numerous MK-Ultra experiments...

“Margaret Singer is considered the grande dame of the Cult Awareness Network. Singer, who is also an advisory board member of the American Family Foundation, got her start as an Army psychiatrist, studying Korean War veterans and prisoners of war. She worked in projects with Drs. Edgar Schein and Albert Biderman, both exposed in Marks’s The Search for the Manchurian Candidate as running the parallel military MK-Ultra programs…

“Together with Dr. West, she ran a survival and torture-resistance study for Air Force Intelligence at Stead Air Force Base in 1966… Also working with West, Singer studied the Haight-Ashbury hippie drug ‘culture.’ She interviewed hundreds upon hundreds of drug-crazed hippies and examined their LSD-induced religious experiences in order to build psychological profiles on them…

“Singer was also involved with the New Religions Movement at the Graduate Theological Seminary in Berkeley, California…

“Rabbi Arnold James Rudin and his wife Marcia are leaders of the ‘interreligious’ group within the Cult Awareness Network and the American Family Foundation. Rudin…participated in the formation of the New Religions Movement in America, along with such pioneers of LSD-induced ‘religious experiences,’ as Timothy Leary’s sidekick Richard Alpert. The New Religious Movement, centered at the Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley, California, was a project which spawned numerous ‘religions,’ New Age beliefs, and helped revive ‘old religions,’ such as witchcraft and Satanism.

“At the 1981 New Religions Movement Conference, the Rudins ran protection for the growing Satanic and witchcraft networks by defining some cults and others as ‘conventional new religious movements’ which are ‘open and upfront about who they are and what life in the group would be like.’ Under the Rudin criteria, Satanism, WICCA, and other ‘old’ religions are classified as ‘conventional.’” [New Federalist Extra, “Warning: The Cult Awareness Network Can Be Dangerous to Your Health”]

For more information, the reader is advised to do Internet searches using combinations of:

Tavistock Institute, London ~ Frankfurt School for Social Research [Hannah Arendt] ~ Mind Control ~ development of brainwashing techniques ~ deprogramming ~ CIA’s famous MK-Ultra projects [brainwashing] ~ Stanford Research Institute/SRI ~ Cult Awareness Network/CAN ~Scientology… and drawn their own conclusions.

It is very likely that your search will take you to EMNR member––Apologia’s resource center: Apologetics Index [Anton Hein]. If so, great caution must be taken. AI carries some helpful background information, however, APOLOGETICS INDEX is pro-Lausanne Covenant, pro-American Family Foundation, and is therefore part and parcel of whatever these organizations represent.

APOLOGETICS INDEX adds disinformation to the public confusion about the OLD CAN…

APOLOGETICS INDEX [Anton Hein]

APOLOGETICS INDFEX/Anton Hein is affiliated to EMNR’s member organization Apologia [Rich Poll, Paul Carden and Ron Rhodes] and also affiliated to Campus Crusade’s Leadership University/Leadership U.

Anton Hein’s entries to his index describe the OLD Cult Awareness Network/CAN as “legitimate” and describe the NEW CAN run by the Church of Scientology as a “hate group.” Hein presents the American Family Foundation in a positive light [for those families who have lost a family member to a cult––“help reclaim their loved ones”] and refers to a joint conference held by AFF and Cult Awareness Network [May 1999]; showing the symbiotic relationship between the two. Ronald Enroth was clearly the spokesman for the group:

Leo J. Ryan's Name Abused?

Yet another attempt by Scientology to mislead the public?

August, 1999

By Rick Ross

Doug DeStafeno, a Scientologist (WISE, an association of Scientologists, 1997 listing), now owns a website that is using the name of deceased United Stated Congressman Leo J. Ryan—murdered by the followers of cult leader Jim Jones in 1978 near Jonestown.

An organization previously known as "Cult Info" first adopted the name of Congressman Ryan and became the "Leo J. Ryan Foundation" in an effort to honor his memory. That organization is focused on continuing the work of the now defunct "Cult Awareness Network" (CAN), which was sued into bankruptcy by Scientology lawyers.

It appears that Scientologists are not content with the destruction of the "old CAN". Now they seem intent on misleading the public regarding this new cult awareness organization by attempting to confuse people through the use of the same name.

2001 LEO J. RYAN CONFERENCE

A presenter at the 2001 Leo J. Ryan Conference was Paul Martin of the Wellspring Retreat and Resource Center and Advisory Member of American Family Foundation’s Cultic Studies Journal [CSJ]. Alnor and Enroth wrote in their article, above: “Recently psychologist Paul Martin, the founder and director of Wellspring, was named as a CAN board member.” Martin collaborated with Tavistock-trained, CIA-funded Louis Jolyon West on “Pseudo-Identity and the Treatment of Personality Change in Victims of Captivity and Cults”.

Fact Net archives

The facts behind the RTC. V. FACTNet case

At 9:00 a.m. on August 21, 1995, delegations of Scientology officials and lawyers, with federal marshals standing by, raided the homes of FACTNet, Inc. directors Robert Penny and Lawrence Wollersheim in Boulder, Colorado, seizing thousands of dollars in computer equipment and data that belonged to FACTNet, a nonprofit electronic library and archive.

A week before, FACTNet director Arnaldo Lerma’s home had been raided in Arlington, Virginia. Scientology claimed the issues were copyright and trade secrets. But the manner in which the raids were conducted made it clear that there was much more to it than that. FACTNet has been highly critical of Scientology. The purpose of the raids, and the ensuing lawsuits, was to silence FACTNet.

[clip]

What is FACTNet?

Founded in 1993, FACTNet, Inc., is a small, underfunded, nonprofit electronic library and archive, a repository of information concerning not only free speech, free thought and privacy, but also thought reform and coercion, by which is meant those methods by which totalitarian governments and organizations attempt to curtail free speech, free thought and privacy.

Because in FACTNet’s view Scientology is a totalitarian organization whose fundamental practices involve coercive thought reform, FACTNet has gathered what is probably the largest electronic library and archive about Scientology in the world.

A history of harassment against FACTNet

But Scientology has been fighting FACTNet and its directors for years. All of them are former members who know firsthand how damaging the organization’s coercive methods can be…

Arnaldo Lerma, another FACTNet director, was also raided by Scientology and is now fighting a lawsuit for copyright violations in Virginia.

EMNR/Apologia declare END OF CULT WARS…

AFF, CESNUR and EMNR dialogue with Hare Krishnas

APOLOGIA ~ Summer 1999

[written by Rich Poll, former EMNR board member, and Paul Carden]

Hare Krishnas Reforming?

May 15, 1999 was a historic date for all cult watchers. On this day in St. Paul Minnesota, two leaders of ISKON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness–– the Hare Krishnas) were featured participants in a public conference entitled ‘Cults, Psychological Manipulation & Society: International Perspectives.” The conference was sponsored by the American Family Foundation (AFF), the leading secular cult watchdog group in the U.S.

In attendance were officials, scholars and activists from Japan, France, England, Spain and Sweden –– along with members of the religious studies camp in the field of sociology (including Eileen Barker of INFORM/U.K. [board member of CESNUR with Massimo Introvigne and Gordon Melton] and Stephen Kent of the university of Alberts/Edmonton) as well as representatives of evangelical apologetics ministries(including Craig Branch [EMNR Board of Directors and head of American Family Foundation’s Clergy Relation Committee] of the Apologetics Resource Center, Paul Carden of the Centers for Apologetics Research and Rich Poll of Apologia.)

[Carden, who formerly worked at Christian Research Institute/CRI, is also on the board of Apologia and has been a speaker at the American Family Foundation’s Conferences.]

One of the most remarkable sessions was the afternoon panel discussion of May 15 entitled “Can Cultic Groups Change? The Case of ISKCON.” (Ironically, at the same time, local Scientologists picketed outside with accusing AFF of bigotry.) On the panel were Anuttama Dasa (director of communications for ISKCON); Radha Devi Dasi, as ISKCON lawyer (J.D. from Harvard) and law professor: Michael Langone (AFF executive director); Joseph Kelly (exit counselor and former member of two eastern cults); and Steve Dubrow-Eichel (a psychotherapistwhose Ph.D. dissertation described the deprogramming of an ISKCON member.)

This session was a couple of years in the making. Langone and other AFF-affiliated people have been in touch with Dasa for some time. We first met Dasa at an academic conference on new religions in Montreal (CESNUR 1997). We have found him to be most open and helpful in providing statistics and other information when we’ve sought his assistance

…we came away impressed with their openness and apparent sincerity.

Implies that Rich Poll, Paul Carden and associates––EMNR––are dialoguing with the ISKCON leadership.

We are watching to determine if ISKCON’s branches outside the United States respond in similar fashion…

(…)

[Poll reports here about disclosures that ISKCON is facing a lawsuit over child sexual abuse within the ISKCON ranks which has been reported in the news in recent years]…

Let us pray for––and reach out to––the members of ISKCON. Christ died for them, and we hope that this time of openness will lead to greater opportunities for evangelism.

––Paul Carden with Rich Poll

Editor’s Note:

The Scripture is clear — “Wherefore come out from among them and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing….” (II Cor. 6:17) — but it appears that Poll, Carden and associates at EMNR believe these false religions can be cleaned up. What saith the Scriptures?

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Matt. 7:15-20

OLD CAN [AFF/Tavistock] & NEW CAN [Church of Scientology] dialogue to consensus…

“Combatants in Cult War Attempt Reconciliation Peacemaking conference is held near Seattle”

by Don Lattin ("The San Francisco Chronicle", Monday, May 1, 2000)

Seattle -- They're calling it the “Camp David of the cult wars.”

Leaders from both factions [American Family Foundation/ old Cult Awareness Network-CAN vs Church of Scientology/ new Cult Awareness Network-CAN] in the decades-long dispute over danger posed by new religious movements came together over the weekend at a woodsy retreat center on the shores of Puget Sound.

There were a few screaming matches, and a bit of the old backbiting and rumor mongering, but it was a largely peaceful gathering of defectors, devotees, heartbroken families and assorted cult experts.

“We've reached the point where we're no longer throwing bricks,'' said J. Gordon Melton, director of the Institute for the Study of American Religion [ISAR/Melton serves as the US CESNUR contact] in Santa Barbara, and someone long labeled as an “apologist” by leaders of the “alarmist” anti-cult movement.

Melton was among those attending a weekend conference at the Dumas Bay Centre south of Seattle, sponsored by the American Family Foundation and titled “Cults and the Millennium.”

Since [AFF’s] founding 25 years ago [1975; 1974 is the year cited for the founding of the old CAN], the foundation has been mostly identified with the cult watchdog faction that believes authoritarian and “totalist” groups -- whether they're organized around religion, politics or psychotherapy -- pose a real danger to their members and to the broader society. [CAN/AFF were the cult experts advising the ATF and FBI on dealing with the WACO scenario.] They've had little to do with the other camp in the cult wars -- scholars and current cult members who argue that most religious sects are relatively harmless and that the crusade against them violates constitutional guarantees of religious freedom.

Anti-cult activists warned of “brainwashing” and “mind control,” while their opponents tell tales of violent kidnapping and coercive “deprogramming.”

Fighting in the cult wars may have reached a peak three years ago [1997], when lawyers and other individuals linked to the Church of Scientology, one of the nation's most controversial and powerful new religious movements, sued the Cult Awareness Network into bankruptcy.

The network, which had been one of the most outspoken anti-cult groups, eventually had its name, files and hotline taken over in a campaign dominated by members of the Church of Scientology.

Today, those who call the [new] Cult Awareness Network hotline actually get an information and referral service run by the Foundation for Religious Freedom, a group linked to the Church of Scientology.

“That's a form of deception,” said Herbert Rosedale, president of the American Family Foundation. [not unlike AFF’s own deceptions!!]

Among those working the crowd at the weekend conference was Nancy O'Meara, a longtime Church of Scientology member and corporate treasurer of the Foundation for Religious Freedom. She insists that the “new” Cult Awareness Network provides a valuable service for family members who call the hotline concerned about relatives who have joined a cult…

…She said the “new” Cult Awareness Network is “completely independent” from the Church of Scientology, although “individual Scientologists support its activities.”

She and other Scientologists at the conference were not included as featured speakers, O'Meara noted, “but at least they let us attend.”

Leading the reconciliation between the two cult camps were Michael Langone, a counseling psychologist and executive director of the American Family Foundation, and Eileen Barker, a sociologist at the London School of Economics and founder of INFORM, a British charity[!!!!] that provides information about new religious movements. [Barker is on the board of CESNUR.]

They gathered four representatives from each camp for a pre-conference peacemaking session.

“We have a lot in common, and a lot of misconceptions about each other,” said Barker, who has been mostly identified with the religious freedom camp. “There are people who think I'm wicked for even coming here. Meanwhile, they (American Family Foundation) have been getting flak for inviting me.”

Barker and Janja Lalich, director of the Center for Research on Influence and Control in Alameda, agreed that one of the main differences between the two camps is they are “asking different questions” about the dynamics of cults, sects and new religious movements.

Many of the scholars studying cults and sects focus on more abstract questions, such as how religions are born and evolve over time.

Groups like the American Family Foundation, based in Naples, Fla., and the Teaneck, N.J.-based Cult Information Service [aka Cult Info and Leo J. Ryan Foundation, the evolutionary orgs of the old CAN], focus on the harm done to some people who join authoritarian sects. They deal with the real anguish of fractured families whose loved ones have been subjected to “mind control” or who have gone through life-changing religious conversions.

THE CLINTON BODY-COUNT

NEW! The recent article at World Net Daily triggered a flood of responses including corrections to factual information and (sadly) new names to add to the list (some of the latter delivered anonymously).

My thanks to everyone who took the time to write and suggest corrections. Many changes have been made to this list based on the info sent in and more will be added in the very near future.

As a rule I do not list the names of people who contribute information for reasons of their privacy and safety, but if you contributed to these changes and wish to see your name appropriately acknowledged, please email me and I would be happy to include the proper credits.

The following is a partial list of a large number of persons who have recently met their demise in suspicious circumstances who appear to have some connection to the Clintons. I stress partial because new additions are coming in faster than closets can be found to hide the bodies in!

THE MOST RECENT

Charles Ruff

Clinton lawyer.

died: 11/20/00

Charles Ruff was one of Clinton's attorneys during the impeachment trial and was known to have inside infomration on the White House emails scandal as well. Original reports were that he died in an accident in his home although no details were given. Then the report changed to claim that he was found in his bedroom unconscious, then declared dead on arrival at the hospital. The authorities will provide no details other than the usual (and quite premature) assurances that there was no foul play involved.

Tony Moser

Anti-Corruption Journalist.

died: 6/10/00

Tony Moser, a critic of the Arkansas Democratic Party political machine, was killed as he crossed a street in Pine Bluff 10 days after being named a columnist for the Democrat-Gazette newspaper and two days after writing an article which exposed the looting of programs designed to obtain money from "Dead beat" parents to then give to their children.

Click for full size image.
The police declared that no crime had been committed since the anonymous driver of the 1995 Chevy Pickup truck that struck and killed Moser was not intoxicated nor was he speeding. In Arkansas, that apparently makes it legal to run down a politically unpopular journalist.

James McDougal

Crook

Died March 8 1998

Jim McDougal was serving his 3-year sentence for bank fraud at the Fort Worth Federal Medical Center in Texas, a facility operated by the federal Bureau of Prisons for inmates who need medical attention.

Just prior to another round of testimony before Kenneth Starr's grand jury, and while the reporters who were covering that story were two hours away covering a standoff situation in Waco that just "went away", Jim McDougal suffered a heart attack while in solitary confinement. Left alone for too long, when Jim McDougal was taken out of solitary, instead of attempting to defibrillate his heart with equipment on hand at the facility, he was driven over to John Peter Smith hospital. Not the closest hospital to the Fort Worth Federal Medical Center, John Peter Smith hospital is a welfare hospital, where (in the words of one local) ,"They let interns practice on deadbeats".

NEW! The Fort Worth Star-Telegram acquired the official report of the McDougal death via a Freedom Of Information Act request, and report that doctors ignored McDougal's sings of imminent death.

John Millis

Staff Director of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Committee

died: 6/4/00

Millis had just helped the HPSCI complete it's "investigation" into alleged CIA cocaine smuggling which predictably (given that Millis was himnself a long time CIA agent) concluded that the CIA was innocent of all allegations of wrongdoing. Fairfax, Virginia police were tipped off by an anonymous phone call claiming that "a man" was threatening suicide in a motel room. Police arrived to find Millis dead of a gunshot wound. As was the case with Vincent Foster and Sandy Hume, the death was immediatly declared a suicide.

Ron Miller

Witness

Died October 12th 1997

Ron Miller, investigated by authorities over the sale of his company, Gage Corp. to Dynamic Energy Resources, Inc. was the man who tape recorded Gene and Nora Lum and turned those tapes (and other records) over to congressional oversight investigators. The Lums were sentenced to prison for campaign finance violations, using "straw donors" to conceal the size of their contributions to various candidates. Indeed, Dynamic Energy Resources, Inc. had hired Ron Brown's son Michael solely for the purpose of funneling $60,000 through him to the Commerce Secretary, according to Nolanda Hill's testimony.

Reportedly a healthy man, Ron suddenly took ill on October 3rd, and steadily worsened until his death 9 days later. (This pattern fits Ricin poisoning.) Owing to the strangeness of the illness, doctors at the Integris Baptist Medical Center referred the matter to the Oklahoma State Medical Examiner's Office.

The Oklahoma State Medical Examiner's Office promptly ran tests on samples of Ron Miller's blood, but has refused to release the results or even to confirm that the tests were ever completed.

Sandy Hume

Journalist

On Sunday, February 22nd, 1998, Sandy Hume, the 28-year-old son of journalist Britt Hume, was reportedly found dead in his Arlington, Virginia home. Aside from the statement that this was an "apparent" suicide, there remains in place a total media blackout on this story, possibly out of concern that the actual facts will not withstand public scrutiny. Indeed, it was reported in Associated Press that the Arlington Police were not responding to any inquiries.

Hume was a reporter for The Hill magazine, newspaper about Congress for Congress, and had broken a major story in 1997 regarding the friction between House Speaker Newt Gingrich and a faction led by Representative Paxon (who announced his resignation just 24 hours after Hume's death).

In addition, Sandy Hume had just joined the staff at Fox TV News and was just three weeks into a job that represented the pinnacle of his young career. Oddly enough, aside from echoing the one Associated Press story, the Fox News website has ignored the death of its newest commentator.

Sandy already had a reputation for getting the story that nobody else wanted to look at. It is worth noting that his death came hard on the heels of reports that "a reporter" was about to break a story confirming the White House's use of investigators to dig up dirt on critics.

It has recently been confirmed that the man who performed the as-yet-unreleased autopsy is none other than Dr. James C. Beyer, who has a record of concealing homicides behind a ruling of suicide.

Kenneth Starr's "suicidologist" Dr. Alan L. Berman has waded in again and as he did in the Foster death ruled it "100% certain that this is a suicide and can be nothing else".

Daniel A. Dutko

C-chairman of Leadership 2000

died: 7/27/99

Daniel A. Dutko, 54, was the co-chairman of Leadership 2000, the Democratic National Committee's main fund-raising effort. He held many other high-level political positions, including vice chairman of finance for Clinton-Gore in 1995; finance chairman of the 53rd inaugural ball; and vice chairman of finance for the DNC in 1996 (when the Chinese money poured in). Attributed to a bicycle accident in which it's claimed he struck his head on the concretetwice.

THE MOST FAMOUS

John F. Kennedy Jr.

Potential Candidate for Senator from New York.

died: 7/16/99

Within days of an NBC Dateline story hinting at a possible run for the Senate seat currently assumed to be the property of Hillary Clinton, JFK Jr. and his wife and sister-in-law died when the Piper Saratoga II TC JFK Jr. was piloting crashed in to the ocean just short of Martha's Vineyard. The NEWSWEEK issue for the following Monday, which NBC Dateline had reported would announce JFK Jr's candidacy, was yanked from distributors and destroyed.

Even before the wreckage of the plane had been found, the media was saturated with news stories declaring the weather to have been very hazy (the weather was VFR conditions, and 8 mile visibility, plus weather radar and witnesses on Martha's Vineyard all reported clear skies) making it impossible for JFK Jr. to know which way was up (he also had working instruments in the aircraft).

As was the case when TWA 800 was shot down, the United States Navy took control of the crash site, ordering an unprecidented 5 mile wide no-fly zone while the wreckage of the aircraft was recovered and taken to a military base.

Reporters Cindy Adams and Andrew Goldman have documented the planting of false information about JFK Jr. in the media in the days following his crash. The feeding of false information to the press proves there is a cover-up. The existance of a cover-up is why JFK Jr. gets an entry on the Dead Bodies List.

According to some reports, Mrs. Kennedy was pregnant.

Mary Mahoney

White House Intern

died 7/97

An attractive 25-year-old woman, Mary was a former White House Intern for Bill Clinton working as the Assistant Manager at a Starbuck's Coffee shop in Georgetown.

In the pre-trial publicity surrounding Paula Jones lawsuit Mike Isikoff had dropped hints that a "former White House staffer" with the initial "M" was about to go public with her story of sexual harassment at 1600 Pennsylvania. Just days later, gunmen entered the Starbuck's while the crew was cleaning up after closing.

Mary's two associates, Aaron Goodrich, 18 and Emory Evans, 25, were taken to a room and shot. Mary herself had five bullets in her, from at least two different guns, most likely with silencers.

A total of ten shots were fired; none of them heard by neighbors in the densely populated Georgetown section.

Mary was shot in the chest, her face, and in the back of the head. Someone wanted her very dead. Or to send a message.

Even though more than $4000 remained in the store, the police have categorized the triple murder as a robber, even as they acknowledge the "execution style" killings.

There was no sign of forced entry, which means that either Mary of one of the employees let the killers in (at least one hour after closing). That means that the killers included at least one person known to the victims.

One report is that the Starbuck's was still locked when the bodies were found the next morning. Robbers don't bother locking doors.

George Stephenopolis, Monica Lewinsky, and Chelsea Clinton were all regulars at the Starbuck's.

UPDATE: On August 1, 1998, yet another young female government intern with the initial "M", Christine M. Mirzayan, was murdered, beaten to death with a heavy object near Georgetown University.

Eventually, Mike Isikoff's "former White House staffer" has finally surfaced and its NOT Mary Mahoney, but Monica Lewinsky. If the killing of Mary Mahoney was to silence a "bimbo eruption", they got the wrong woman! (Just how many of the interns was Clinton getting oral sex from anyway??)

Carl Cooper, the man charged with the Starbuck's murders on the basis of a confession has now recanted that confession, claiming that it was obtained under coercion (not unlike that of James Earl Ray).

UPDATE: A recent affidavit filed by NOAA's Sonya Stewert, confirms that the Department of Commerce was selling trade mission seats in exchange for campaign donatations, and illegally blocking FOIA requests. Named in the affidavit as the White House staffer directly connected to this obstruction is Doris Matsui. Doris's assigned intern during this period was Mary Mahoney.

The Washington Weekly continues to investigate this case. Anyone with information on the case is encouraged to contact the Washington Weekly by email at editor@dolphin.gulf.net . Confidentiality is assured.

Vincent Foster

White House Counsel

died: 7/21/93

Found dead in Ft. Marcy Park in Washington, DC, of a supposed suicide by gunshot. A suicide note was supposedly found a few days later, torn into several pieces, in his briefcase, after his office had been entered by white house staff and materials removed.

The gun which he supposedly used to kill himself was reported to be still in his hand, but the person who first found the body reports that there was no gun at that time. Many irregularities surround the death and the investigation of it.

Foster was also from Hope, Ark., like Clinton, and also worked for the Rose Law firm. Foster had intimate knowledge of the Clintons' personal finances. Foster was involved in an investigation of their finances, and reportedly made a phone call to Hillary Clinton, in Los Angeles, just hours before his death.

Recently, the signed report of M.E. Dr. Donald Haut was uncovered at the National Archives, proving that Foster had a previously unreported gunshot wound to his neck.

Finally, an FBI memo has surfaced dated the day after the date of the official autopsy, in which the autopsist informs the FBI that there was NO exit wound.

The "suicide" note, (leaked despite official efforts to keep it from view) has since been revealed to be a forgery.

Admiral Jeremy Boorda

Chief of Naval Operations

Died May 16th, 1996

Boorda supposedly went home for lunch and decided to shoot himself in the chest (by one report, twice) rather than be interviewed by Newsweek magazine that afternoon.

Explanations for Boorda's suicide focused on a claim that he was embarrassed over two "Valor" pins he was not authorized to wear.

Former CNO Admiral Elmo Zumwalt said on the May 17 Larry King Live show that Admiral Boorda was not only authorized to wear the "V" on his medals, but that had personally authorized him to do so when he was serving as Commander Naval Forces Vietnam.

When it turned out that Boorda was entitled to those decorations, blame shifted to stresses over the down sizing of the Navy, and even (Washington Times) the adverse affect that feminism was having on the Navy's morale.

Boorda supposedly left two suicide notes, neither of which was released.

On Thursday, June 25, 1998, Navy Secretary John Dalton formally acknowledged that Boorda had been entitled to wear the decorations.

So, like Brown, and like Foster, the proximate cause for the "suicide" turns out to be fraudulent.

William Colby

Director of Central Intelligence (ret)

Died - April 27(?), 1996

William Colby had been the DCI from 1973 to 1976 under Nixon and Ford.

At age 76, Colby had found a new career and had just started writing for Strategic Investment at the time of his death. This had worried many insiders in the intelligence community who felt that Colby had already divulged too many of the CIA's secrets in the preceding years. Indeed, his dismissal by Ford because of his over-cooperation with Congressional investigations into CIA wrongdoing. It was Colby who had revealed to Congress the plans to kill Fidel Castro, the spying on American citizens (in direct violation of the CIA charter) and the conducting of biological tests by the CIA on unsuspecting citizens. George Bush replaced him.

According to the original CNN report, Colby was reported missing by neighbors who "recovered" his canoe, by one story from under the dock at Colby's house, by another report, 1/4 of a mile downstream from Colby's home.

Colby was by all report a methodical, tidy man, yet police found his home unlocked, his computer on, and a partly eaten dinner on the table. The official story is that Colby just put down his fork and decided to drop everything and go canoeing.

Colby at 76 was still a world-traveler and consultant to many corporations. He recently became an editor of an important financial newsletter, "Strategic Investment," which covered the Vince Foster "suicide" in detail. Its editors hired three renowned handwriting experts to investigate Foster's suicide note, which hadn't been found when his briefcase was first searched, but later materialized, torn into pieces, with no fingerprints on any of the pieces. Upon comparing this document with others of Foster's writings, these experts declared it was a forgery, and a not very good one at that.

Colby had old enemies as well as new, with plenty of motives for his extermination. He was in charge of the infamous Operation Phoenix during the Vietnam War, in which more than 20,000 South Vietnamese citizens -- supposedly Vietcong sympathizers -- were rounded up, tortured and executed. In the 1970s he opened some of the secrets of the CIA to Congress: "Colby insisted on going public about the agency's role in tapping the telephones and opening the mail of Americans; plotting the assassination of Fidel Castro, and using human guinea pigs for mind-control experiments involving LSD," the Times reports.

On Monday, May 6th, Colby's body was found just 20 yards from where his canoe had been recovered, in an area that had been thoroughly searched several times by helicopters and search teams.

Most notable about the body was the absence of a life jacket, which according to his wife, Colby always wore on the water.

As has since been proven to have happened in the JFK Jr. case false stories were being deliberatly planted in the media, including one quoting Mrs. Colby herself as having been told by William Colby by phone that he was going canoeing. Mrs. Colby denied any such story. The week that he died, Colby was scheduled to meet with the Disclosure Project.

Robert Williams, Clinton bodyguard

Conway LeBleu, Clinton bodyguard

Todd McKeehan, Clinton bodyguard

died: 2/28/93 - "executed" by gunfire in the Waco, Texas assault on the Branch Davidians. - All four were examined by a "private doctor" and died from nearly identical wounds to the left temple, so-called execution style. According to Linda Thompson, videotapes and other evidence indicates that none died from guns fired by Branch Davidians. In his address to employees of the Treasury Department in the Cash Room on March 18, 1993, Clinton said: "My prayers and I'm sure yours are still with the families of all four of the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents who were killed in WACO -- Todd McKeehan and Conway Le Bleu of New Orleans; Steve Willis of Houston, and Robert Williams from my hometown of Little Rock. Three of those four were assigned to my security during the course of the primary or general election." However, the Little Rock, Arkansas office of the ATF confirmed that all four had at one point been bodyguards for Bill Clinton, three while he was campaigning for President, and while he had been governor of Arkansas. In the videotape by the American Justice Federation, "WACO II, the Big Lie Continues," Linda Thompson demonstrates that 15 shots were fired from six separate weapons into and out of a room into which three of the four agents had entered through a window. Four of these shots were fired from an overhead helicopter, an agent outside the window, firing an MP5 submachine gun, who also threw in a concussion grenade, fired at least two shots into the room. In the autopsies of these agents, three had virtually identical wounds to the left temple that exited through the rear of the head, execution-style. A "private physician" treated all four.

Alan G. Whicher

Oversaw Clinton's Secret Service detail. In October 1994 Whicher was transferred to the Secret Service field office in the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City. Whatever warning was given to the BATF agents in that building did not reach Alan Whicher, whom died in the bomb blast of April 19th 1995.

DEAD INVESTIGATORS

Paul Wilcher, Washington attorney investigating gun running out of Mena, Arkansas.

died: 6/22/93 - Found dead on a toilet in his Washington apartment. No cause of death was ever reported by the coroner.

Was planning on producing a television documentary on his findings. He had delivered a 105-page affidavit to Janet Reno detailing the evidence he had collected regarding the drug operation at Mena, just three weeks before his death.

died: 5/3/96 - Ron Brown died along with 39 other people when the T-43 (a converted 737 used by the Air Force) carrying the group on a trip to Bosnia crashed while approaching the Dubrovnik airport. On the verge of being indicted and having stated publicly his willingness to make a deal with prosecutors, Ron Brown's death brought to an end his ability to testify.

As of this writing, Judicial Watch has petitioned for the investigation into on Brown's dealings to be expanded to include his death. (NOTE: Also belongs under dead fundraisers)

Barbara Wise, Commerce Department Staffer

died: 11/29/96 - As the scandals continued to swirl around the John Huang, one of Huang's associates, Barbara Wise, was found dead in her locked office on the fourth floor of the Department of Commerce, partially nude (by one report completely nude) and covered with bruises. No cause of death has ever been announced even though an autopsy was conducted (prior to next of kin being notified). Calls to the D.C. autopsist, Dr. Jaardemal have gotten an assurance that the bruises were not from being beaten but nothing else. Despite claims of ongoing illness, no record of a hospital visit in the months leading up to her death has surfaced. Oddly enough, following the discovery of her body, Bill Clinton made an unscheduled return to the White House from Camp David, claiming he needed a book of poetry in order to complete his inauguration speech.

Charles Meissner, Assistant Secretary of Commerce for International Economic Policy.

John Huang was placed on a Commerce Department contract that allowed him to retain his security clearance by Charles Meissner. Charles Meissner died on the plane with Ron Brown.

THE HENRY - IVES DEATHS, A.K.A. THE "TRAIN DEATHS"

Kevin Ives & Don Henry

Initial cause of death was reported to be the result of falling asleep on a railroad track in Arkansas on August 23, 1987. This ruling was reported by the State medical examiner Fahmy Malak. Later it was determined that Kevin died from a crushed skull prior to being placed on the tracks. Don had been stabbed in the back. Rumors indicate that they might have stumbled upon part of the Mena drug operation, specifically a drop site in the area of Bauxite and Alexander, Arkansas.

Keith Coney

Keith had information on the Ives/Henry deaths. Died in a motorcycle accident in July 1988 while being chased by a car. Ruled a traffic accident.

Keith McKaskle

McKaskle has information on the Ives/Henry deaths. He was stabbed to death in November 1988. He had told his family someone was out to kill him and told tem "good bye".

Gregory Collins

Greg had information on the Ives/Henry deaths. He died from a gunshot blast to the face in January 1989. Declared a suicide.

Paul Olson

A Federal witness in investigations to drug money corruption in Chicago politics, Paul had just finished 2 days of FBI interviews when his plane ride home crashed, killing Paul and 130 others on Sept 8 1994. The Sept. 15, 1994 Tempe Tribune newspaper reported that the FBI suspected that a bomb had brought down the airplane.

Jeff Rhodes

He had information on the deaths of Ives, Henry & McKaskle. His burned body was found in a trash dump in April 1989. He died of a gunshot wound to the head and there was some body mutilation, specifically that his hands and feet had been partially sawn off, leading to the speculation that he was tortured prior to being killed. The body was then burned.

James Milam

Milam was decapitated. The state Medical examiner, Fahmy Malak, initially ruled death due to natural causes, claiming that the victim's small dog had eaten the head, which was later recovered from a trash bin several blocks away.

Richard Winters

Winters were a suspect in the deaths of Ives & Henry, and had offered to cooperate. He was killed by a shotgun blast to the face during a "robbery" in July 1989, which was subsequently proven to be a setup.

Dan Harmon, the Prosecutor who Winters reportedly made the offer to, has since been implicated in the Kevin/Ives deaths and is now in jail for running his office as a racket.

Jordan Kettleson

Kettleson had information on the Ives & Henry deaths. He was found shot to death in the front seat of his pickup in June 1990.

Barry Seal

Now known to have been a drug runner for the CIA, operating out of the Mena airport, Barry Seal had reportedly kept in contact with Bill Clinton's head of security at the governor's mansion, Raymond "Buddy" Young, the ex rodeo clown who is now the number 2 man at FEMA.

Following his fall from CIA grace, Barry was sentenced to live at a Salvation Army Housing Complex by a judge who also prohibited Barry Seal to either have any guns or to employ any bodyguards. Corruption doesn't become any more obvious than this. Barry was gunned down with machine gun fire in the parking lot of the Salvation Army Housing Complex.

In violation of the court order, Barry had hired bodyguards who worked a rotation schedule. But the bodyguard who was to be there when Barry was killed never showed up. That bodyguard, according to video producer Daniel Hopsicker, was a former associate (meaning drug pilot) of Barry's named William "Bear" Bottoms. Bottoms continues to this very day to prowl the internet insisting that there never was any drug running operation at Mena, Arkansas.

Anonymous

Barry Seal's aircraft mechanic at Mena (name unknown as of this time) died March 21, 1995 of an "overdose of mouthwash". Regarded by local authorities as an obvious homicide.

Let's repeat that. They took off in a plane. It developed problems. They got it back to the airport. They rented a new plane. They took off in the new rented plane and IT developed a problem. On the way back to the airport it crashed. - Heard, in addition to serving on Clinton's advisory council, also personally treated Clinton's mother, stepfather, and brother.

Carlos Ghigliotti, Thermal Imaging Expert

Carlos Ghigliotti: 42, was found dead in his home just outside of Washington D.C. on April 28, 2000. There was no sign of a break-in or struggle at the firm of Infrared Technology where the badly decomposed body of Ghigliotti was found. Ghigliotti had not been seen for several weeks.

Ghigliotti, a thermal imaging analyst hired by the House Government Reform Committee to review tape of the siege, said he determined the FBI fired shots on April 19, 1993. The FBI has explained the light bursts on infrared footage as reflections of sun rays on shards of glass or other debris that littered the scene.

Long before Whitewater's land flips made the Clinton's circle of friends rich, many of the same players had been involved in a similar land swindle in Branson. Don Adams was a lawyer in Arkansas who got involved trying to help the people who were being swindled out of their life savings.
