FBI FOIPA Addendum
As referenced in our letter responding to your Freedom of Information/Privacy Acts (FOIPA) request, the FBI FOIPA Addendum
provides information applicable to your request. Part 1 of the Addendum includes standard responses that apply to all requests.
Part 2 includes standard responses that apply to requests for records about individuals to the extent your request seeks the listed
information. Part 3 includes general information about FBI records, searches, and programs.
Part 1: The standard responses below apply to all requests:
(i) 5 U.S.C. § 552(c). Congress excluded three categories of law enforcement and national security records from the
requirements of the FOIPA [5 U.S.C. § 552(c)]. FBI responses are limited to those records subject to the requirements of the
FOIPA. Additional information about the FBI and the FOIPA can be found on the www.fbi.gov/foia website.
(ii) Intelligence Records. To the extent your request seeks records of intelligence sources, methods, or activities, the FBI can
neither confirm nor deny the existence of records pursuant to FOIA exemptions (b)(1), (b)(3), and as applicable to requests for
records about individuals, PA exemption (j)(2) [5 U.S.C. §§ 552/552a (b)(1), (b)(3), and (j)(2)]. The mere acknowledgment of
the existence or nonexistence of such records is itself a classified fact protected by FOIA exemption (b)(1) and/or would reveal
intelligence sources, methods, or activities protected by exemption (b)(3) [50 USC § 3024(i)(1)]. This is a standard response
and should not be read to indicate that any such records do or do not exist.
Part 2: The standard responses below apply to all requests for records on individuals:
(i) Requests for Records about any Individual—Watch Lists. The FBI can neither confirm nor deny the existence of any
individual’s name on a watch list pursuant to FOIA exemption (b)(7)(E) and PA exemption (j)(2) [5 U.S.C. §§ 552/552a
(b)(7)(E), (j)(2)]. This is a standard response and should not be read to indicate that watch list records do or do not exist.
(ii) Requests for Records about any Individual—Witness Security Program Records. The FBI can neither confirm nor deny
the existence of records which could identify any participant in the Witness Security Program pursuant to FOIA exemption
(b)(3) and PA exemption (j)(2) [5 U.S.C. §§ 552/552a (b)(3), 18 U.S.C. 3521, and (j)(2)]. This is a standard response and
should not be read to indicate that such records do or do not exist.
(iii) Requests for Confidential Informant Records. The FBI can neither confirm nor deny the existence of confidential
informant records pursuant to FOIA exemptions (b)(7)(D), (b)(7)(E), and (b)(7)(F) [5 U.S.C.§ § 552 (b)(7)(D), (b)(7)(E), and
(b)(7)(F)] and Privacy Act exemption (j)(2) [5 U.S.C.§ 552a (j)(2)]. The mere acknowledgment of the existence or nonexistence of
such records would reveal confidential informant identities and information, expose law enforcement techniques, and endanger
the life or physical safety of individuals. This is a standard response and should not be read to indicate that such records do or do
not exist.
Part 3: General Information:
(i) Record Searches and Standard Search Policy. The Record/Information Dissemination Section (RIDS) searches for
reasonably described records by searching systems, such as the Central Records System (CRS), or locations where responsive
records would reasonably be found. The CRS is an extensive system of records consisting of applicant, investigative,
intelligence, personnel, administrative, and general files compiled by the FBI per its law enforcement, intelligence, and
administrative functions. The CRS spans the entire FBI organization, comprising records of FBI Headquarters, FBI Field Offices,
and FBI Legal Attaché Offices (Legats) worldwide; Electronic Surveillance (ELSUR) records are included in the CRS. The
standard search policy is a search for main entity records in the CRS. Unless specifically requested, a standard search does not
include a search for reference entity records, administrative records of previous FOIPA requests, or civil litigation files.
a. Main Entity Records – created for individuals or non-individuals who are the subjects or the focus of
an investigation
b. Reference Entity Records- created for individuals or non-individuals who are associated with a case
but are not known subjects or the focus of an investigation
(ii) FBI Records. Founded in 1908, the FBI carries out a dual law enforcement and national security mission. As part of this dual
mission, the FBI creates and maintains records on various subjects; however, the FBI does not maintain records on every
person, subject, or entity.
(iii) Foreseeable Harm Standard. As amended in 2016, the Freedom of Information Act provides that a federal agency may
withhold responsive records only if: (1) the agency reasonably foresees that disclosure would harm an interest protected by one
of the nine exemptions that FOIA enumerates, or (2) disclosure is prohibited by law (5 United States Code, Section
552(a)(8)(A)(i)). The FBI considers this foreseeable harm standard in the processing of its requests.
(iv) Requests for Criminal History Records or Rap Sheets. The Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division
provides Identity History Summary Checks – often referred to as a criminal history record or rap sheet. These criminal history
records are not the same as material in an investigative “FBI file.” An Identity History Summary Check is a listing of
information taken from fingerprint cards and documents submitted to the FBI in connection with arrests, federal employment,
naturalization, or military service. For a fee, individuals can request a copy of their Identity History Summary Check. Forms
and directions can be accessed at www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/identity-history-summary-checks. Additionally, requests can be
submitted electronically at www.edo.cjis.gov. For additional information, please contact CJIS directly at (304) 625-5590.

"The FBI is looking for every bit of psychological

evidence oh Hinckley's background....Even if they
find all of it, they won't be able to make sense
of it."
Statement given to an
interviewer by
Dr. Foster W. Cline, Director,
Evergreen Consultants in Human
Behavior, Evergreen, Colorado
I. State of the Investigation
To the credulous, John W. Hinckley, Jr. was a lone assassin.

The evidence produced by the Federal Bureau of Investigation is
aimed at establishing that Hinckley acted alone, had no accomplices
and that the motive for the asassination can be found in the so-
called "love letters" written allegedly by Hinckley to movie
actress Jodie /Foster. These letters were conveniently found in the
Park Central Hotel in Washington, D.C. hours after the "hit" on
President Reagan. In these letters, Hinckley threatens to "kill
the President" if Jodie Foster refuses to love him. After Hinckley
is arraigned in Federal Court, Hinckley is taken to Butner, North
Carolina Federal Correctional Center for a "60-90 day psychiatric
evaluation."
In the meantime, the Secret Service announces the arrest of

another potential assassin named Michael Edward Richardson in New
York City. Richardson was discovered to have written three letters
to Jodie Foster threatening to "finish the job that Hinckley had
failed to do"— to "kill the President." The Secret Service releases
a statement that there is no connection between Hinckley and
Richardson. Simultaneously, a report leaked out that the Secret
Service had picked up a man at the Washington, D.C. Hilton Hotel
immediately prior to the assassination attempt. The "suspect" was
questioned and released on grounds that he did not constitute a
threat. It was later revealed that this "suspect" may have been
identified by witnesses as stalking the President at the Irish
embassy only days before the shooting.
In total, nine other "suspects" or "potential assassins" have

been arrested for questioning and examination since the attempted
"hit." So far, according to official statements, there's not one
shred of evidence linking any of the individuals picked up to
Hinckley or evidence that Hinckley was brainwashed.
No conspiracy exists despite the fact that four terrorist-

linked individuals were arrested by the Judicial Police of Tijuana,
Mexico for planning the assassination of President Lopez Portillo
of Mexico and Ronald Reagan. The assassination was to have been
scheduled for late April when Lopez Portillo and Reagan had planned
to meet.
. On April 17, President Giscard D'Estaing of France was the

2
target of an assassination attempt on the island of Corsica.
Several members of President Reagan’s cabinet have had their

lives threatened and Vice President George Bush’s residence was
nearly invaded by thêe individuals attempting to climb over the
fence. Numerous security breeches have occured at the White House
and State Department by individuals tied to the pro-terrorist,
Jesuit-trained Berrigan brothers. According to federal law enforce
ment officials, there is no evidence to suggest that any of the
above incidents are remotely related. '
While there is no official version of a conspiracy linking

any of the events to Hinckley’s attempt on the life of President
Reagan, there remain the unanswered questions concerning the
Hinckley case. Why has no evidence been produced concerning
Hinckley's weapon training? He was obviously trained and was quite
proficient in his shooting. Could this be accidental or the work
of a rank amateur? Why has the FBI failed to adequately explain
the November 9 mishap when they obviously failed to pass the in
formation to the Secret Service on Hinckley’s arrest for carrying
three guns at Nashville Airport?
Has FBI Director William Webster given clear and informed

testimony to the Congress on these questions? Has Secret Service
Director H. Stuart Knight provided proper disclosure on how
Hinckley managed to get into the restricted area where press cre
dentials are always required? Why hasn’t a word been printed or
announced in the media on the fact that President Reagan’s entire
security was stripped of its weapons by the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police (RCMP) during the President’s trip to Ottawa in eariy March?
Overarching all of these questions is the central issue: Was

Hinckely a "lone assassin" or was he a "Manchurian Candidate?"
II. Evidence of the Manchurian Candidate Profile
It has been confirmed that John W. Hinckley, Jr. was under

psychiatric care in both Lubbock, Texas and Evergreen, Colorado for
approximately one year leading up to his March 30 attack on the
President. In Lubbock, where he attended Texas Tech, Hinckley was
an on-again off-again patient under the care of Dr. Baruch Rosen.
Dr. Rosen had been treating Hinckley for severe depression by
providing him with two drugs: Valium, a mild depressant; and Surmon-
tii, a drug known as a "mood manipulator" that can "trigger hallu
cinations." Hinckley was seeing Dr. Rosen during the summer months
of 1980. No evidence has turned up to suggest that Dr. Rosen was
involved in the brainwashing of Hinckley. However, ît does repre- i;
sent the pattern of Hinckley’s continual care by psychiatrists/
c ’ From January 1980 tbapproximately July 1980, Hinckley was
under the care of Dr., John J. Hopper, of Evergreen Consultants in
Human Behavior.,pr. Hopper, a former Air Force psychiatrist, is a
strong advocate Jof electroconvulsive shock therapy (EST)— ^the use
of high voltage electrical shocks to the brain as sa means of. treat-
3
ing chronic schizophrenics. EST was used during the Korean War
and Vietnam War as a method of torture and as a tool for trans
forming the behavior of a prisoner of war by creating an aversive
environment for psychologically controlling the targeted victim.
Dr. Hopper is a leading proponent of EST. In 1978, he was

one of ten psychiatrists who prepared a special report for,the
Colorado Psychiatric Society defending the use of electro-shock
as a perfectly clean and effective means of providing therapy.
To this date, Dr. Hopper has refused to state whether or

not Hinckley had undergone'EST treatment or what the nature of the
treatment was. It has also been reported, albeit unconfirmed, that
Hinckley was under Hopper's care at Mt. Airy Hospital, an exclusive
psychiatric institution specializing in the use of EST for treat
ment of•drug and alcohol addiction. Dr. Hopper had been trained
at the University of Texas, Galveston and spent one year in Spokane
Washington during his internship at a local hospital. Between 196 8
1971, Dr. Hopper had a residency at the Titus Clinic, which is
attached to the University of Texas Psychology Department. The
Titus Clinic was then led by Dr. Hamilton Ford, a prominent neurol
ogist and psychiatrist specializing in chemotherapy and electro
shock.
Dr. Hopper's close associate is Dr. Edmund Casper, director

of the Denver General Hospital Community Mental Health program. ■
Casper was also a staff psychiatrist at the Mt. Airy Hospital. The
programs at Mt. Airy are considered highly controversial because
of the techniques they employ.
Casper was a former Army Divisional psychiatrist in Vietnam

during 1967-68. During this period, special teams of U.S. military
psychiatrists were sent into Vietnam to study the effects of war
time stress upon U.S. soldiers. One team of psychiatrists was led
by the former Carter White House advisor on Drug Abuse, Dr. Peter
Bourne. Bourne, an advocate of drug decriminalization and drug
usage, was able through these studies to create special psychol
ogical group studies of American GIs in Vietnam. Many of these
GIs later formed the antiwar, pro-terrorist Vietnam Veterans
Against the War ( W A W ) . Not all the psychiatrists sent to Vietnam
were engaged in the same activity as Bourne. However, Casper's
outlook and methodology on dealing with psychiatric patients
coheres with Bourne's outlook. Further investigation into this
relationship is required.
• It should be noted that Dr. Casper was employed by the U.S.

Army from 1963 through 1971. In addition to his Vietnam position,
Casper served as assistant chief of the forensic ward of Fitzsimons
Army Medical Center, at the Fitzsimons base in Denver. Fitzsimons,
one of six U.S. Army medical centers, services U.S. Army facilities
not only in Colorado but many other central and Rocky Mountain
states. During the period that Casper served in army psychiatry,
the Department of Defense ran the Incapacitating Agents Program,
testing, among other agents, LSD, Psilocybin, and other psycho
tropic drugs. Dr. Casper had oversight of prisoners committed to
4
psychiatric confinement— the most Commonly used in brainwashing

drug experiments. Was Dr. Casper or any of his associates involved
in this program? '
Some investigators believe that Air Force psychiatrists asso

ciated with this prdgram were involved in the programing of the
"Son of Sam" killer David Berkowitz and his associate John Carr.
Although Casper apparently neyer treated Hinckley, Hopper

could have consulted with him and most importantly with the direc
tor of the Evergreeh Consultants in Human Behavior, Dr. Foster W.
Cline. Dr. Cline, according to Baltimore Sun reporter Pat McGuire
is considered a highly controversial psychiatrist. It is this Dr.
Cline who stated that the FBI could never make sense of Hinckley's
psychiatric history. The reason for Cline's rather self-assured
statement may lead into the area of how Hinckley became a brain
washed Manchurian Candidate.
Dr. Cline does not rule out the use of LSD therapy for short
term usage. Cline differentiates between long-term effects of LSD
and its possible short-term therapeutic value. He considers the
long-term use as causing neurological brain damage to tissue. Cline
employs a form of therapy called "rage therapy." This form of
therapy is carried out for the purpose of producing a "purgative"
and somewhat violent outburst of "rage" from the patient. It is ;
usually done by physically restraining the patients to produce an
explosive outburst or with psychological attack sessions either in
a group or through doctor/ patient interaction. The aim, according
to Cline, is to get the patient to remove the psychological blocks
from early childhood by getting the patient to recall the emotion
ally traumatic incidents and let loose with a burst of violent
rage. Cline's theory is based on the notion that all serious per
sonality defects stem from the first three years of life and be
come permanently locked into the individual unless released by
this "rage" reaction. ,
Cline characterized Hinckley as a "senseless killer without
remorse," and drew a close parallel to the recent assassination of
British rock star John Lennon by Mark David Chapman. Cline also
told investigators that the groups which most closely adhere to
.his method of psychological cure is the notorious Synanon and
Cenikor drug and deviant rehabilitation programs. These two pro
jects originated in California in the 1960s under Project MK-Ultra—
a special psychological warfare program pushed through the Central
Intelligence Agency by British Intelligence's Tavistock Institute.
' Both Synanon and Cenikor are involved, according to California

^Law enforcement, in drug- and gun-running. Synanon has been investi-
Lgated for a West Coastassassination attempt. ; ; '
/ ' . Cenikor was established in 1967 by a group of inmates of the
(Colorado State Penitentiary. All the inmates were members of the
Synanon group. From its inception," Cenikor has had its national
headquarters ip LaJê^pod, Colorado.! .Lakewood is the small surbur-
1 5
ban town next to Evergreen and is the place where John W . Hinckley,
Jr. stayed at the Golden Hour Motel before traveling to Washington,
D.C. to shoot the President. It was also the area where the second
potential assassin, Michael Edward Richardson, stayed. Cenikor has
branches in the Dallas and Houston, Texas areas.
. ' The founder of Cenikor and its chief operator was Luke Austin.
Austin ran the Cenikor group until 1973 when he was replaced by
Edward Fresquez who has been its director since. However, the most
important individual in the organization has always been Dr. Steven
Bloom, originally a consultant to Synanon in San Francisco. Asso
ciated with Cenikor within months of its formation, Bloom designat
ed the attack group sessions which serve as the controlling feature
of the group. It is known that Cenikor has worked in conjunction
with Denver General Hospital. The constant surfacing and inter
facing of this case with the Denver General Hospital makes it of
interest. .
The basis of Dr. Foster W. Cline's work comes, according to

Cline, from a top level British intelligence psychiatrist named
Dr. John Bowlby. Cline refered to a book written by Bowlby entitle
Attachment, Separation and Loss as critical for "evaluating Hinckley."
The book was based on profiled studies of child development conduct
ed by the Tavistock Institute in 1948 which were continued into the
1970s. Cline reference to this book is no accident. It is through
such studies that a profile for establishing who would make a po
tential assassin could be conducted.
Tavistock and a network of interlocking institutes and uni

versities organized and created many cult groups. The British in
telligence-run Tavistock Clinic created the programs of electro
shock therapy, chemotherapy, and other exotic forms of psychological
manipulation that shaped several psychological warfare programs.
One of these was called MK-ULTRA.
III. Background History
Any competent study of how "Manchurian Candidates" are created

must begin with the development of the British intelligence-run
special profiling and psychological warfare institution, the
Tavistock Institute. Founded in the 1930s and upgraded in the post
war period, the Tavistock Institute's Dr. John Rawlings Rees,
operating through the World Health Organization of the United Na
tions, organized a vast, highly-organized network of psychiatrists.
Each psychiatrist is dedicated to implementing highly sophisticated
forms of social control which have included the creation of politi
cal assassins.
The basis for creating this network is explicitly developed

in Dr. Rees 1 book The Shaping of Psychiatry by War. Upon Nazi leader
Rudolph Hess's 1940 landing in Scotland to secretly negotiate a
peace with Great Britain, Rees and a team of British psychiatrists
brainwash Hess and begin a massive psychological profiling of the
Nazi war machine and its leadership. On the basis of their perfee-
7
tion of wartime psychological techniques and operational capa
bilities, British intelligence undertook the creation within the
U.S. of a similar apparatus designed to carry out their programs.
One of their special warfare programs, MK-ULTRA, was in effect
laundered through offices of the Central Intelligence Agency. This
program and other spjecial psychological warfare techniques were
pushed through the ClIA on the basis that drug experimentation in
the use of LSD-25 could be utilized against Soviet espionage opera
tions. Before this particular program could be implemented, experi
ments were carried o^t against unsuspecting victims, including a
CIA agent who went on to commit suicide. •
However, the,CIA was merely a ‘convenient vehicle for accomp

lishing a far more involved and intricate program. Under the guise
of studying the Chinese and Korean communist brainwashing techniques
several major universities were contracted by the CIA to begin
studies on these techniques. The studies were begun several years
earlier at the Tavistock Institute and were "farmed" out to such
presigious colleges as McGill University, Stanford, UCLA, Harvard
(where counterculture advocate Dr. Timothy Leary did his LSD experi
ments) , M.I.T. and the University of Chicago. The World Health
Organization, and later in 1954 with the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare, along with several leading hospitals around
the nation, instituted Tavistockian or special psychiatric programs.
’ According to Tavistock founder Dr. Rees, the entire concep

tion was based upon the creation of what he called a vast army of
"psychiatric shocktroops" who could carry out social control pro
grams. Practically all of the so-called "Community Mental Health
Centers" are organized on Rees' outlook. A vast network of psy
chologists, sociologists, and anthropologists led by such figures
as the now-deceased Margaret Mead and her husband Gregory Bateson
organized the apparatus over the last three decades.
Evergreen psychiatrist Dr. Cline's references to Tavistock's

Dr. John Bowlby indicate that he is at least influenced by, if not a
direct part, of this apparatus. Dr. Bowlby, i resident psychiatrist
at Tavistock since 1946, was working in the British military on
similar projects. Trained at Cambridge University's Trinity College,
Bowlby worked on a 1950s special project on child development with
Margaret Mead, Anna Freud and Gregory Bateson along with Christoph
Heincke and Ilse Westheimer. Out of their work came the creation of
the Tavistock Child Development Research Unit. A three-volume work
located in Tavistock's International Psychoanalytic Library and
released under the title Attachment, Separation and Loss is consider
ed by Cline as the source on the subject. Bowlby credits two
Colleagues as beirfg instrumental in carrying out these childhood
studies, James Robertson and Mary Salter Ainsworth. Bowlby states
that the most important aspect of his work was conducted in four
seminar meetings where the question of mother-infant interaction
was the critical focus:. The profile of mother-child relations is
critical for creating Manchurian Candidates.
s r. r r - s i? I 3 .:-: ■. ■■ ~ • ■-'■■■'
It is noteworthy to point out ipiat John Hinckley's mother
i
*
7
bore a physical resemblance in her earlier youth to the movie

actress Jodie Foster, and, according to Evergreen neighbors,
Hinckley’s mother went by the nickname "Jodie." Could this ex
plain how Hinckley was brainwashed?
Returning to Bowlby, his studies and special expertise were

guided by top British intelligence operative Sir Julian Huxley.
Bowlby's work at Tavistock was funded by the U.S.-based Ford
Foundation, the Josiah Macy Foundation, the World Health Organiza
tion, the Sir Halley Stewart Trust, and the International Children’s
Center in Paris. Bowlby was also a visiting professor at the Stan
ford University Center for the Advanced Study of Behavioral
Sciences, a center which helped create the infamous group therapy
program, the Esalen Institute. Esalen was an official part of the
MK-ULTRA project and was involved in the brainwashing of psychotic
killer Charles Manson. Esalen and Tavistock's funding also came
from the Foundations Fund for Research in Psychiatry, an organiza
tion which was headed by Margaret Mead’s daughter, Mary Catherine
Bateson.
If the relationship among Bowlby's childhood profiles, MK-

ULTRA, and Dr. Foster W. Cline appear to be unrelated to President
Reagan's assassin, then let's look at the relationship between Dr.
Foster W. Cline and the Christian Home for Children in Denver. Cline
is the psychiatric consultant to this special home for "borderline"
sociopathic children who are diagnosed as possible "clinical schizo
phrenics." Funded by the religious sect called the Disciples of
Christ, the home utilizes Cline's method in treating these children.
It was the Disciples of Christ through an official named Barton
Hunter who helped Rev. Jim Jones obtain his first temple and fund
his activity from the time he was in Indianapolis to his sojourn
in California. Is there a relationship between Evergreen Consultants
the Christian Home, and Hinckley?
According to FOIA documents on MK-ULTRA, Alden B. Sears con

ducted a series of studies for the MK-ULTRA project at the Univer
sity of Denver. The project was financed through the Geshickter
Fund. Charles Geshickter was an U.S. Army psychiatrist working as
a civilian at Walter Reed Hospital, the same hospital where Dr.
Edmund Casper received a great deal of his training. Is there any
relationship to be established further with Dr. Hopper and his
patient John W. Hinckley, Jr.?
To further underscore how these special psychological warfare
programs functioned, let's review the case of Synanon and Cenikor.
It is a known fact that the so-called founder of Synanon, an un
fortunate individual named Dietrich, was one of the first victims
of the LSD experimentation program under MK-ULTRA. Two psychiatrists
Dr. Sidney Cohen and Dr. Keith Ditman, according to one source,
brainwashed Dietrich. Both Cohen and Ditman were recipients of MK-
ULTRA funds. Ditman is reported to have treated Manson family cult
member Linda Kasabian and Charles Manson at the UCLA Brain Institute
8
According to the same source who reported on Cohen and

Ditman, Mark David Chapman was brainwashed at the Castle Memorial
Hospital in Kahlua Hawaii while under the care of Dr. Denis Mee-
Lee. Dr. Cline’s reference to Mark! David Chapman in an interview
as being similar to Hinckley couldj be critical in this regard.
Further background checks intp the Hinckley family’s own

profile reveal a constant overlap |vith church-related programs
dealing with drug abuse and alcoholic rehabilitation. According
to preliminary investigations, the> same Episcopal Church in Dallas,
Texas attended by the Hinckley family before moving to Colorado
created a drug abuse program called the Palmer Drug Abuse Program.
The PDA operates in three cities: Houston, Dallas, and Lakewood
Evergreen, Colorado. Some of the funding for this program comes
from the Cullen Oil Foundation, M.B. Anderson, and the Sid Richard
son Foundation. One New York-based source has indicated that the
Cullen Oil nexus provided the initial seed money to establish the
Hinckley family-owned Vanderbilt Energy Corporation. Does the
coincidence of funding conduits for the father’s corporation and
the drug abuse program bear any relationship worth investigating?
The place where Hinckley has been taken, Butner, also re
quires a critical examination. The Butner Correctional Center in
North Carolina was originally designed as a "behavior modification"
facility by Norval Morris, Professor of Criminology at the Univer
sity of Chicago. Morris, a close collaborator of former Attorney
General Edward Levi, advocates the type of psychiatric treatment
for "socially deviant behavior" that the MK-ULTRA project employed.
According to a newspaper reporter in Raleigh, N.C., Butner Federal
Correctional Center was originally a "brainwashing" facility where
brain surgery (lobotomies), drug therapy, and group encounter
techniques were employed. The British-born Morris was a long-time
collaborator of University of Chicago-based Margaret Mead. In fact,
one of the leading proponents of the "lone assassin" theory is
University of Chicago professor of psychology Lawrence Freedman,
the directorbf the Institute for the Study of Behavioral Sciences.
Could there be a relationship between those who advocate the "lone
assassin theory" and the very institutions which have been involve
in brainwashing?
IV. Conclusion
The questions posed in this special report require a commit
ment to go beyond simple inductive and deductive methods of inves
tigation. The notion of perpertrator and motive becomes trans
formed by the criteria of investigation this report has laid out.
No simple motive explanation can be utilized where "love letters"
become the basis for prima facie evidence to explain why Hinckley
"desired" to carry out an assassination attempt.
Perhaps by looking at the other potential assassin, Michael
Edward Richardson, a deeper insight into the parallel profiles will
compel the investigator beyond looking for mere "clues". Richard
son is most likely another "brainwashed" assassin.
9
His profile begins with training at the Rev. Carl McIntyre-run

Shelton Bible College in Cape Canaveral, Florida. According to
both historical documents and well-placed intelligence sources,
McIntyre's missionary work in conjunction with the American Council
of Christian Churches was utilized as an FBI Division 5 "cover"
for running assassination operations.
New Orleans District Attorney James Garrison implicated ACCC
Reverends E.E. Bradley and Albert Osborne as having been complicit
with Col. Clay Shaw in planning the assassination of President
John F. Kennedy. According to published sources, Osborne was the
director of a secret assassination unit based out of Pueblo,
Mexico created in 1942 by Sir William Stephenson, Major Louis
Mortimer Bloomfield and J. Edgar Hoover. This unit existed accord
ing to these sources up until at least 1969.
According to that same document, the ACCC was intimately tied

to the covert capabilities of the British SOE-created intelligence
networks inside the U.S. intelligence community in the same way
the MK-Ultra project was conducted. The old Hoover-run FBI Div
ision Five was connected to the British-Canadian SOE apparatus
set up by Sir William Stephenson and his underling Major Louis
Mortimer Bloomfield. It was through Permindex, a corporation set
up as an intelligence cover, that assassination schemes were car
ried out against French President Charles de Gaulle and U.S.
President Kennedy. Lee Harvey Oswald was no "lone assassin."
This Permindex-SOE network is working hand in glove with the

Socialist International, Jesuit, and Philbyite-KGB/Cuban intelli
gence apparatus which planned in early December 1980 the destabil
ization of the newly-elected Reagan Presidency. It is in the
context of this apparatus that the recent arrests by the Mexican
Judicial Police in Tijuana of four terrorists who were planning
the late April assassinations of Presidents Lopez Portillo of
Mexico and Ronald Reagan should be investigated. The names of the
four would-be assassins are:
(1) . Cynthia Green — U.S. citizen '

(2) . Miguel Anthony Martinez — U.S. citizen
. (3). Jesus Garcia Naranjo — Mexican citizen
: (4). Raul Garcia Naranjo — Mexican citizen
The four were members of the newly-formed organization called the
"Che Guevara.Commandos."
■ It is possible that this world-wide assassination network

described above was also responsible for the recent attempted
assassination of French President Giscard D'Estaing in Corsica.
The Permindex circle in France is working with Lybian dictator
Qaddafi and his foreign minister Jalloud, who are financing the
Corsican separatist movement.
If the Manchurian Candidate brainwashing apparatus is not

officially investigated and if the present line of investigation
remains focused on the so-called "lone assassin", then a continued
//
10
massive escalation df terrorism and assassination is absolutely
predictable. i
Through U.S. law enforcement agencies and within the CIA and
related circles, there is a realization that Hinckley was not a
"lone assassin." From interviews with leading figures throughout
the U.S., the consensus is that an all-out investigation must be
launched if the President is to be kept alive and if the republic
is to survive. Any wishy-washy attitude toward investigating this
apparatus will lead to an automatic escalation of political viol
ence unseen since the late 1960s and early 1970s. This is the
scenario which was forecast by Investigative Leads starting in
December 1980 and repeated in the Vol. 2, No. 1, January 20 issue,
where the possibility of an assassination attempt against Presi
dent Reagan was outlined. When President Reagan took his trip to
Canada in early March and his Secret Service was stripped of its
weapons, an assassination plot was rapidly unfolding. Proper
channels were informed, but no action was taken. Must we wait be
fore it is too late?

SPECIAL REPORT: WHO'S BEHIND THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF

PRESIDENT REAGAN
Editor's Note: This issue of Investigative Leads will temporarily util

ize our old format in order to speed up the production process and
achieve the earliest possible release. We are doing this because the
assassination attempt on the life of President Reagan represents a ser
ious threat to the future of our nation. Experienced law enforcement
and intelligence officers evaluate that although the President survived
this attempt, the threat has in no way diminished. Unless the assas
sination network in the United States that carried out this attempt is
properly identified and rooted out, that threat remains an active prob
ability. This issue of Investigative Leads outlines the most fruitful
areas of investigation that can lead to the destruction of this appar
atus.
"MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE" ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT REAGAN FAILS
Reference files: John W. Hinckley, Jr.; Federal Bureau of Investigation;

British Security Commission.
In the five-day period following the assassination attempt against
President Reagan in Washington, D.C., the staff of Investigative Leads
conducted the first phase of an exhaustive investigation into all re
lated aspects leading up to and including the shooting. As this spec
ial issue goes to press, the findings to date point to an assassination
plot involving John Warnock Hinckley, Jr. and a number of accomplices
who may or may not have been on the scene at the Hilton Hotel when the
shooting occurred. Late-breaking evidence released through the U.S.
press indicates that at least one other "potential assassin" was pr.e-_____ _
screened from the March 30 crowd and that Hinckley was in contact by
telephone with several individuals in the Washington, D.C. area in the
hours leading up to his attempt on the President's life.
The totality of evidence released to date already establishes that

Hinckley was a programmed assassin — a "Manchurian Candidate" — who
was subjected to extensive behavior modification in preparation for his
assignment. Given this profile, much of the information on his person
al history and his various organizational affiliations must necessarily
be evaluated from the standpoint of sorting out those critical leads
from a mass of "false trail" information.
To facilitate the broadest possible investigation into the nearly trag

ic events of March 3C and to ensure that no "second chance" attack on
the President or any other leading ?/'erican figure is facilitated by an
2 INVESTIGATIVE LEADS
unsuccessful inquiry, the staff of Investigative Leads, in consultation

with leading law enforcement and security service personnel from
throughout the world, has prepared a grid of questions that must neces
sarily be answered in order to get to the bottom of the plot.
We present those questions here:
1. Where did John W. Hinckley, Jr. receive his weapon training? Care
ful review of the videotape film footage of the assassination attempt
demonstrates that Hinckley was a proficient shooter, particularly
skilled in the execution of rapid fire under combat stress conditions.
His choice of weapon, in particular, bears all the earmarks of a sing
ular mission: kill the President at close range.
Not one word has surfaced publicly as to Hinckley's training in combat

handguns. Furthermore, the speed and concentration of fire on March
30 would have required consistant practice with the designated assas
sination weapon during the period leading up to the attempt on Presi
dent Reagan’s life. Are there any records of Hinckley turning up at
shooting ranges in Washington, D.C., Evergreen, Colorado, or Hollywood,
California over the last two-month period?
2. Why did the FBI fail to act on the basis of the arrest information
received on Hinckley in Nashville, Tennessee during October 1980?
Hinckley was detained by Nashville Airport Police attempting to board
a New York City-bound flight while carrying at least three weapons and
fifty rounds of ammunition. Yet, the U.S. Attorney's office in Nash
ville reports that the FBI did not indicate that multiple weapons had
been seized (had the U.S. Attorney been informed, Hinckley would have
been detained). Despite the fact that Hinckley was flying into New
York City, where both President Carter and candidate Reagan were sched
uled speakers, from a city where both had been scheduled to appear —
no report was made to-Secret Service or the Alcohol,. Tobacco and Fire
arms division of the Treasury Department.
While this FBI failure has already been cited in Congressional testi
mony by Treasury Secretary Regan and Secret Service Director Knight, a
thorough investigation is in order. Based on recent years' profile, it
must be determined whether Hinckley was already a known entity to fed
eral agencies at the time of his Nashville arrest.
3. Did Hinckley's psychiatric treatment at any point the following cen

ters of brainwashing currently operating in the U.S.: behavior modifi
cation institutions involved officially or unofficially in MK-Ultra or
any other drug conditioning experiment; "EST" or any other Lewinite
sensitivity training; the Church of Scientology or any other cult
therapy centers employing linguistics methods of brainwashing; the

Esalen Institute; the Rand Corporation; the Aspen Institute for Human
istic Studies; clinics and/or therapeutic communities run by Dr. Fred-
erich Hacker, Dr. David G. Hubbard, Dr. Jolly West, Dr. Robert J. Lif-
ton, Rabbi Maurice Davis or any of their proteges; any U.S. or Canadian
based institution affiliated with the London-based Tavistock Institute
and its affiliated Center for the Study of Conflict? These institutions
represent some of the leading witting centers of brainwashing, any one
of which possesses the resources and the trained personnel able to
create a "Manchurian Candidate" assassin.
At this point, the totality of evidence made available through public

channels and through sources accessed by Investigative Leads overwhelm
ingly points to such a "Manchurian Candidate" profile of Hinckley.
A preliminary grid of suspect institutions in Colorado and Texas include

the Palmer Drug Abuse Program, the Evergreen' Consultants in Human Behav
ior, Mount Airy Hospital, the Colorado Holistic Health Network and the
Abberant Behavior Center.
Numerous previous cases, such as that of the Symbionese Liberation Army,

the Black Liberation Army and another purported "lone assassin," David
Berkowitz (the so-called Son of Sam) have all been documented by IL
specialists to have been subjects in professional behavior modification
programs. .These programs, such as the Vacaville Prison behavior modifi
cation unit, run by Dr. Frederich Hacker, employ behavior conditioning
techniques first rigorously employed in the pre-World War II period at
the Tavistock Clinic in London and subsequently exported en masse to the
U.S. Drugs such as prolyxin and thorazene and torture techniques such
as electro-shock and sensory deprivation are used on the targeted vic
tims. The result has often been programmed killers: whether they belong
to so-called political cells, to Satanic cults or even to the growing
ranks of "lone assassins."
It is in this light that the question of Hinckley’s membership in the

National Socialist Party of America should be examined. Whether Hinck
ley was even a member is still an open question. If he was, it is
likely that he was "sheepdipped" through the NSPA in order to create a
false trail for investigators. It should be remembered that in the
case of Frederick Cowan who was responsible for the beserker killings
of several people in Westchester County, New York in January 1977, the
primary investigatory issue was not his NSPA affiliation, but his mem
bership in the same cult as David Berkowitz.
The past decade’s proliferation of drug use among the nation's youth,
the epidemic-proportion outbreak of homosexuality and the populariza
tion 'of T-group and other self-brainwashina techniques among partis’-'1 -
arly the nation's middle and upner class ôpulab.io-. created n '
sive recruiting ground and labor pool for "Manchurian Candidates
schools such as those listed above.
Both Playboy magazine and key affiliated sections of the motion picture
industry have played pioneering roles in the fostering of this climate.
Playboy 1 s sponsorship of homosexuality, drugs and cultism has been re
cently documented in a special report being prepared by IL. The role
of the motion picture industry has already become a matter of direct
4 INVESTIGATIVE LEADSi
concern to the Hinckle^ investigation
Script writer Paul Schêder has confi rmed that his screen play "Taxi
Driver" closely conformed to the psyc hological profile of Arthur Bremer
the would-be assassin 0f George Wallace. Hinckley cited that film as
one of the triggering factors in his 'own attempt on the life of Presi
dent Reagan. While the media publicity surrounding "Taxi Driver" rev
elations has been principally directed at bolstering the bogus "lone
assassin" claim, the same evidence points in a fruitful direction as
well. Was the film employed as an audiovisual aid in the brainwashing
of Hinckley? Are any officials of Columbia Pictures witting in the
overall "Manchurian Candidates" infrastructure? Columbia Pictures does
have close interface with both Playboy Foundation and the Huxley Insti
tute — two agencies that do bear immediate investigation re: institu
tionalized brainwashing capabilities.;
This mass-scale aversive conditioning of the American people and the
more targeted profiling and recruiting of Manchurian Candidate assas
sins poses a necessary further question: how many more John W. Hinckleys
are presently roaming the streets as controlled human time bombs?
4. Has the summer meeting of the Group of Five heads of state in Canada
been designated as a high-feasibility time and place for a second at
tempt on the life of Ronald Reagan? The Ottawa conference should be a
matter of grave concern to all security officials involved in protecting
President Reagan and the other attending state heads.
During President Reagan's recent trip to Canada to meet with Prime Min
ister Trudeau, there were a string of severe security breaches that at
several times placed the President in immediate physical jeopardy. IL
investigators have established that those security breaches were part
of a "dry run" profiling of the Reagan security screen, and that person
nel on Trudeau's executive staff and On the Privy Council's crisis man
agement unit were witting in this effort. Affiliates of the Internation
al Law Association, connected to a forthcoming, conference on internation
al terrorism at Carlton University in Ottawa," have been identified as
part of this "dry run" profiling team. Two of these individuals, Thomas
Mitchell and Michael Wittington, acknowledge collaboration with two lead
ing behavior modification specialists cited above — Dr. David G. Hubbard
and Dr. Frederich Hacker.
The special role of Canada in current and future assassination efforts

against President Reagan and other political targets is underscored by
the political power exerted over that "British Crown Colony" by the rem
nants of the World War II British Special Operations Executive (SOE) of
Sir William Stephenson. The SOE network, through the person of Major
Louis M. Bloomfield of Montreal, sponsored the "joint assassination bur
eau" of the 1958-68 period that controlled the assassination efforts
against French President de Gaulle and the successful assassination of
John F. Kennedy. This Canada-based SOE network, known then as "Permin
dex," is itself a subsidiary capability of a broader intelligence appar
atus that includes Playboy and other components cited above.
The British Security Commission is one of the principle subjects for in
vestigation in order to uncover the active command center through which
April 5, 1981 , 5
Permindex could have been activated. This high-level and top-secret

grouping — run directly out of the Royal Household — was activated
just two weeks ago in the wake of the "spy revelations" which implica
ted former top officials of British MI-5 as being KGB moles. In 1962,
the Commission was activated around "sex scandals" in England. Strong
circumstancial evidence indicates that the Kennedy and the de Gaulle
actions were among special covert operations traced to the Commission.
Presently called the Diplock Commission, the group consists of seven
longtime secret service executives who report only to the Royal House
hold. Members of the Commission are: Lord Diplock, Law Lord; Lord
Bridge of Harwick, Lord of Appeals and a former member of the High
Court; Lord Greenhill of Harrow, former director of the Diplomatic Ser
vice and former director of British Petroleum; Lord Allen of Abbeydale,
former Permanent Undersecretary of the British Home Office; General Sir
Dudley Ward, former Commissioner of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical
Engineers; Admiral Sir Horace Law, former Commander-in-Chief of the
Naval Home Commission; and Sir Allen Cottrell, former Science Advisor
to the Government and to the Defense Ministry, currently Master of Jesus
College at Cambridge.

Following is a preliminary dossier on the Playboy connection in order

to facilitate the broadest possible investigation into the U.S.-based
"assassin-creating" networks.
Playboy and Drugs
It is well-known that the editorial pages of Playboy magazine have been

advocating the reform of drug laws; it is NOT generally known that Play
boy was a prime force in creating the drug lobby. The following chron
ology documents Playboy 1 s relationship to U.S. drug trade:
1953-60: From the beginning, Playboy published articles which romanti

cized the use of "recreational" drugs. One such article of 1960, entit
led "Jazz and Drugs," glorified the role of cocaine, marijuana and her
oin i>i the chic jazz/rock subculture.
1962: Playboy editor Dan Wakefield wrote a feature article praisinc ;-
effects of marijuana and openly advocating its legalization.
1963: Playboy's November issue contained numerous articles glorifying

the use of LSD. One such article was authored by British intelligence
operative Aldous Huxley who was sent to the U.S. in 1953 to begin the
MK-Ultra creation of a drug subculture in the U.S. Among Huxley's re
cruits in that effort were Harvard U. Dr. Timothy Leary. Leary later

became closely identified with the Yippies and the Weatherunderground.
' i "
The December issue featured an interview with Lord Bertram Russell, who
just began his project to create the New Left. Russell supported Hux
ley's position on drug usage as a meaningful political statement.
1966-67: Playboy featured a running dialogue between Leary and Hugh Hef
ner's in-house sexology team, Masters! and Johnson.
1971: Keith Stroup was introduced to Hugh Hefner to discuss Hefner's
funding of the creation of the National Organization for the Reform of
Marijuana Laws (NORML)4 Stroup was introduced to Hefner through the
executive vice president of the Playboy Foundation, Robert Gutwillig,
at the urgings of former Attorney General Ramsey Clark and Ralph Nader.
Stroup had the backing of Clark, Nadet, Marcus Raskin of IPS, Max Pal-
evsky of Xerox Corp, and William F. Buckley. Hefner gave Stroup $25,000
in seed money for the îrst year of NORML. Over the next decade, Stroup
was to receive over one million dollars in contributions from Hefner.
1975: Bob Gutwillig helped to start the pro-drug High Times magazine by
channelling $75,000 to Tom Forcade, a member of the Yippies and a secret
member of the Weatherunderground. The money was conduited via Gutwil
lig 's executive post at the New American Library (NAL). NAL is one of
the world's largest paperback publishing houses and a wholly-owned sub
sidiary of the Times-Mirror Corp, which, in turn, owns the Los Angeles
Times, Long Island Newsday, Dallas Morning News, and shares a joint wire
service with the Washington Post.
To ensure broad distribution of High Times, Paul Krassner coordinated

nationwide circulation. Krassner was a founding member of the Yippies
and a 15-year contributing editor to Playboy. At the time, Krassner
was also the editor of Larry Flynt's Hustler magazine. Recently, Kras
sner gave the keynote speech at the Yippies "National Resistance Confer
ence" held in New York City March 20-22, 1981. At that conference, signs
and banners openly called for the assassination of President Reagan.
Krassner's speech also contained numerous allusions to such an attempt.
1975: In its January issue, Playboy editor Richard Rhodes called for the
legalization of cocaine. To support this campaign, the Playboy Founda
tion launched a legal research project to find the appropriate technical
ities in existing drug legislation as related to cocaine use. The re
sult was a book published in 1979 by Playboy Press, Cocaine: Legal and
Technical Defenses in Cocaine Prosecutions. The book argues that cocaine
is not an opium-based chemical compound and therefore all existing codes
mandating cocaine prosecution on the grounds that it is an addictive nar
cotic are void. The book was used in two legal suits in Illinois, argu
ing that criminal convictions in the state should be overturned. In
March 1981 a three judge appeals court panel ruled cocaine non-narcotic.
The book utilized the expertise of medical and psychiatric personnel,
many of whom were drawn directly from the MK-Ultra project. One such
person was Dr. Joel Fort, a San Francisco-based doctor who created a
journal called Psychedelic Review — promotion sheet for the use of
psychedelic drugs and publisher of MK-Ultra non-classified findings. In
1974, Fort's Haight Ashbury-based behavior modification center, Fort Help,
April 5, 1981, 7
was investigated as a possible safehouse where Symbionese Liberation

Army terrorists housed and brainwashed newspaper heiress Patricia Hearst.
Terrorism and Murder, Inc. .
Playboy 1 s terrorist connection is best documented through the case of

Playboy Foundation executive Bob Gutwillig. Gutwillig's connection to
organized crime and terrorism emerged through an IL investigation of
Hans Magnus Enzensburger in February 1980 when Enzensburger came to the
U.S. to interview Presidential candidate Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. At
that time, law enforcement and security officials warned that Enzensbur-
ger's trip may have been for the purpose of profiling LaRouche and his
security team in preparation for an assassination attempt. During his
trip, Enzensburger was ushered around the country by Gutwillig and
featured a meeting with Ramsey Clark. The following is a current dossier:
Enzensburger is a 51-year-old West German radical poet and author. His

association with international terrorism is traced back to the early
1960s when he was chief editor of the New Left magazine Kursbach pub
lished by Kursbach-Rotsbuch Verlag in Berlin. This publishing house is
known to BRD law enforcement authorities as the publisher of Baader-
Meinhof literature. Associated with Enzensburger at Kursbach were:
Noam Chomsky: leading U.S. left-controller directly tied to the Ital

ian Red Brigades by Italian police. He is based at MIT in Cambridge,
Massachusetts and is reportedly in touch with the Iranian underground.
Peter Bruchner: Baader-Meinhof defense lawyer charged with giving ref

uge to fugitive Ulrike Meinhof during the early 1960s.
Stanley Aronowitz: leading U.S. defender of jailed Red Brigades con

troller Toni Negri and leader of the pro-terrorist Institute for
Policy Studies.
Daniel Cohn-Bendit (aka Danny the Red): leader of the Paris 1968 riots
and close collaborator of the late leader of German SDS, Rudi Dutschke.
Von Plottniz: member of the Gollwitzer lawyers collective which took

responsibility for the defense of the Baader-Meinhof gang.
Enzensburger is presently the chief editor of Transatlantik magazine,

published by the W. German publishing house, New Mag. New Mag is owned
by three individuals: a Dutch citizen named Von Nouyos (aka Heinz Lose-
caat) ; a W. German named Christina Schmidt; and Playboy's Bob Gutwillig..
New Mag is responsible for setting up both the W. German pornography
magazine Quick and the French version of Playboy , Lui. Lui is joint!’7
edited by Von ilouvos and his close associate Jacrar-..:: telle. ' '
elle has been identified by Swiss and French authorities as the \
leader of several assassination squads deployed through the right-wing
Secret Army Organization (OAS) against French President Charles de Gaulle.
These hit teams launched 26 known attempts on de Gaulle and were known to
be deployed from the top by the assassination organization Permindex.
Permindex, which stands for Permanent Industrial Expositions, was a corp
orate front for an international Murder, Inc. based in Montreal and run

rison's investigation into the November 1963:assassination of John F.
Kennedy implicated Penjnindex and one if its employees, Ferenc Nagy.
Nagy was the former President of Hungary during the Nazi occupation and
until his death a clos£ associate of Von Nouyos.
In short, New Mag is being investigated as another corporate front for

a Permindex-like Murder, Inc. organization.
A review of the grants of Gutwillig'sj Playboy Foundation shows its con

nection to international terrorism. Note that the Foundation is not
required to make public the official recipients of its funding, and
therefore the organization list belowl is most likely not all inclusive.
* Center for Constitutional Rights: CCR is the leading legal brains be
hind every significant left-radical terrorist group operating in the U.So
Headed by longtime Yippie member William Kunstler, CCR represents the
Puerto Rican terrorist FALN, the Weatherunderground, and the Black Lib
eration Army. CCR attorneys Kunstler, Ramsey Clark, and Lennox Hinds
are the American representatives of the International Association of
Democratic Lawyers which has a longtime history of sympathy for terror
ism and has been identified as strategists behind the FALN terrorists.
* Repression Information Project: The successor domestic group to the

Philip Agee-founded CounterSpy, RIP has been at the center of every ef
fort in recent years to strip local police departments of the legal
right to conduct anti-terrorist and anti-drug intelligence efforts.
This has been done in Collusion with hard core terrorist entities like
the George Jackson Brigade — a Northwest U.S. Weatherunderground spinoff.
* Campaign to Stop Government Spying (aka Campaign for Political Rights):

Another CounterSpy spinoff acting as a nationwide umbrella for pro-ter
rorist and anti-police activity. The "Campaign" maintains liaison to
Baader-Meinhof and Red Brigades legal support networks. Leading members
include the American Friends Service Committee, the Center for National
Security Studies run by Morton Halperin, the American Civil Liberties
Union, the Jesuit Office of Social Ministries, and the Church of Scien
tology (see IL Vol 1, No. 18).
CULT CONTROL OVER "SON OF SAM" REVEALED
Reference files: David Berkowitz; Hermetic Temple of the Golden Dawn;

Rabbi Maurice Davis; Sam Carr; Westchester Mental Health
Association; and Hudson River Counselling Service.
David Berkowitz, the "Son of Sam" mass murderer who took seven lives dur
ing a two-year killing spree in 1976-77 was NOT a lone psychotic. Accord'
ing to extensive evidence compiled by a Westchester County, New York re
porter and subsequently analyzed by investigators for IL, Berkowitz was
part of a satanic cult that had at least 20 members, many of whom have
been operative in other parts of the country.
The Berkowitz revelations represent critical experimental proof that
sophisticated behavior modification techniques are being widely used to
. April 5, 1981 9
create "blind terrorists" (so-called lone assassins) on a nationwide

scale. ‘With this initial report, IL begins ongoing coverage of this
crucial counterintelligence profile.
On March 19, Today, the Gannett daily newspaper servicing the northern
suburbs of New York City, published a front-page article by Maury Terry
detailing new evidence in the "Son of Sam" case, including a series of
personal letters from Berkowitz. In those letters, Berkowitz admitted
he was part of a satanic cult following the teachings of Aleister Crow
ley and the Hermetic Temple of the Golden Dawn. Crowley was an early
20th century British satanist whose cult activities' participants in
cluded leading figures in the British Fabian Society such as H.G. Wells,
Bertrand Russell, Edward Bulwar Lytton and future Soviet KGB officials
H. Kim Philby, Guy Burgess and Donald Maclean.
As law enforcement officials were closing in on Berkowitz, he and other

cult members created a false trail of evidence by removing all the mod
ern furniture from his apartment and covering the walls with psychotic
graffiti. These actions were designed to convince police that Berko
witz was berzerk and had acted alone.
Berkowitz was part of a cult network that engaged in ritualistic kill

ings of dogs; moreover, the activities of Berkowitz and his associates
point toward a specific profile models used by behavior modification
specialists who may have played a witting role in manipulating the two-
year terror spree. Suspect in this regard are the Church of Scientology
and Westchester County-based cult "deprogrammer" Rabbi Maurice Davis.
Among identified members of Berkowitz's cult were members of a family

living next door to Berkowitz in Yonkers, N.Y. at the time of his arrest.
The family included Sam Carr and his two sons, John and Michael. John
was an Air Forceman stationed in the Dakotas up until his death (ruled a
suicide) shortly after Berkowitz's arrest. Berkowitz named John Carr as
a murder accomplice in his letters to Terry. Michael Carr, who reported
ly died in an automobile accident in New York City shortly after John's
death, was listed as an executive of the Church of Scientology and re
portedly ran cult "sessions" at the Carr residence. Carr's wallet con
tained several names of top Scientology officials based in Sussex, Eng
land, as well as two credit cards in the names of non-existent Russians.
The Church of Scientology should be a high-priority target of investiga

tion regarding both "blind terrorist" and espionage activities. In Cal
ifornia, the Church has been closely linked to the Esalen Institute, a
drug-behavior modification center linked to the 1950s MK-Ultra experi
ments with the mind-altering effects of LSD and other psychotropic drugs.
Mass murderer Charles Manson snent one week at Esalen before his snree.
Another critical series of leads emerge from further reviet of the . o..
Carr profile. During the "Son of Sam" killings, Carr ran a telephone
"hot line" answering service for a Westchester County mental health serv
ice called Hudson River Counselling Service. HRCS is a satellite center
of the Norman Vincent Peal Institute for Religion and Psychotherapy on
West 29th Street in New York City.
HRCS in turn was the principal "pastoral counselling" service employed
10 INVESTIGATIVE LEAD
by the Westchester Mentlal Health Association. That Association houses

the offices of Rabbi Maurice Davis, an affiliate of the Anti-Defamation
League (ADL) who lists himself as a specialist in the behavior modifica
tion "deprogramming" of cult members.I Such deprogramming employs the
identical methods of mi^nd-stripping that are employed by such cults as
the Hare Krishna, the Unification Church, etc.
The Davis intersection with the activities of Sam Carr may prove to be
a critical lead for law enforcement agencies pursuing the Son of Sam
case. In the late 1950s, Davis was the religious counselor in resi
dence at the federal hospital in Lexington, Kentucky — a site of MK-
Ultra experimentation and an institution that David Berkowitz was placed
in toward the end of his tour of military service.
During the early 1960s, while a rabbi in Indianapolis, Davis was the
principle sponsor of another future satanic cult leader, Rev. Jim Jones.
The first headquarters of the Jones Peoples Temple was in a synagogue
that Davis turned over to the future mass murderer. Through Davis' urg
ing, Jones was given a position on the city's civil rights task force.
While David Berkowitz refused in his letters to Terry to provide the

names of any of his other cult accomplices, he did state that other
cult members have "vanished, scattered all over the U.S.A." (Berkowitz
refused to name other cult members, aside from John Carr, after he was
assaulted in prison, his throat slashed.) Already, telltale signs of
the surfacing of the Son of Sam cult — ritualistic killings of dogs —
have been reported in Fitchburg, Mass., Middletown, N.J., Brookfield,
Conn, and Yonkers, N.Y.
REAGAN'S SECURITY PROFILED DURING CANADA VISIT

Reference files: RCMP; El Salvador Committee; Pollution Probe; En Lutte;
Thomas Mitchell; Michael Kelly; Paul Lin; Charles Gagnon.
Michael Whittington; and Elliot Tepper.
It has now been confirmed that President Reagan's security was dis
armed by Canadian authorities during his March 14 diplomatic visit to
Canada. Despite official acknowledgement of several death threats an
nounced by Canadian Solicitor General Kaplan, Secret Service was not per
mitted to carry their weapons. A professional "profiling" of Reagan's
security by a group of Carleton University professors who are linked to
leftist elements in Canada and are consultants to the RCMP knew in de
tail the President's precarious situation. It is believed that the ac
ceptance of these highly-reckless actions significantly softened up
Secret Service procedures and allowed them to be profiled by terrorist
elements and their controllers.
Sequence of Events
On Friday March 9th, just 4 days prior to President Reagan's arrival,
Progressive Conservative Party MP Alan Lawrence asked a highly-publicized
question to Canada's Solicitor General Kaplan on presidential security.
In that question, Lawrence loudly complained that Reagan's projected
security was "excessive" and would result in keeping crowds away from
the President.
April 5 , 1 9 8 T 11
In partial response to Lawrence's complaint, Royal Canadian Mounted

Police (RCMP) inspectors Lloyd Larose and Raymond Cyr held press inter
views with the Canadian Press Agency and Associated Press respectively.
Both Larose who oversaw security for the Presidential tour, and Cyr, the
RCMP press liaison, reported in their own widely publicized interview
that the Secret Service would have their arms removed at the border and
that all armed security measures would be exclusively the responsibility
of the RCMP. Furthermore, the RCMP spokesmen noted that while the
President addressed the Parliament on Wednesday afternoon, the RCMP would
also disarm itself as is British custom, thereby rendering public the
fact that the President would receive no armed protection at that time.
During the day and a half that President Reagan was in Ottawa, over two
thousand demonstrators gathered to protest the visit. The demonstrators
were made up of three overlapping groups. .
* The El Salvador Committee: nominally run by FDR representatives Marg

arita Sanborne and Mario Nerin. Constituent members of the U.S. affil
iate, the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador in
cludes the Community Workers Party, the Yippies, the National Anti-Klan
Network, and the American Indian Movement, many of whom have made public
threats against the President.
* A Maoist contingent: Included En Lutte headed by Charles Gagnon who

previously headed the terrorist FLQ along with Paul Lin. Lin has been
connected to the Black September operation. Other.groups include the
East Asian Defense League of Toronto, the Canadian Communist Party-
Marxist-Leninist, and the Parti Ouvriere Communiste of Montreale, and
the Iranian Student Association.
* Environmentalists: Primarily under the control of Pollution Probe, the

Canadian government-funded environmentalist group.
Even though elements of the crowd were identified as terrorists, the

RCMP set barricades within fifty feet of the President for Wednesday's
open-air speech on Parliament Hill.' Although reports that some demon
strators got closer than fifty feet are not confirmed, professional sec
urity on the scene have stated that a potential assassination under these
chaotic conditions would have been easy. Even demonstrators admitted to
the unusual behavior of the RCMP — spokesmen for En Lutte described the
RCMP as "helpful" and "unusually cooperative."
The Profilers
During Reagan's visit, members of the private staff of Prime Minister
Trudeau, the Prime Minister's Crisis i-nnagemer.-t -.n' the Prig
Council constituted a team assigned- to irofilo the ; erfornance of w
President's security. When interviewed, members of this group character
ized their profiling as a "dry run" in "the way we set up the cattle bar
riers, the way the crowd was set up, and how close they were able to get
to Reagan."
Among the members of this team is a group of self-styled terrorist ex
perts based out of the Political Science Department of Carleton Univer
sity in Ottawa. These include:

■ i
* Elliot Tepper: past executive secretary of the Canadian Asian Studies

Reagan.
This group is now preparing a conference entitled "Terrorism in the

1980s: The Shape of Things to Come" on April. 10, 1981, whose attend
ance will be composed of the RCMP, Defense Department and other sect
ions of the government. Mitchell has acknowledged that his collaborat
ors include Frederich Hacker and David Hubbard.
Whittington, Mitchell and other members of the group are involved in the
security planning for the July heads of state summit meeting in Ottawa.
FLASH: NEW SUSPECT APPREHENDED FOR DEATH THREATS TO REAGAN

As IL goes to press, April 7, 1981, it has just been reported that a
male Caucasian named Edward M. Richardson was arrested by U.S. Secret
Service agents at 1:00 p.m. in New York City in connection with the
Hinckley case. Richardson (dob 9-29-58) was arrested boarding a PATH
train bound for Philadelphia and carrying on his possession a loaded
.32 calibre handgun and at least three "extra" rounds of ammunition.
The Secret Service was alerted to Richardson by Park Sheraton Hotel in
New Haven where employees found in a room where Richardson had been
staying pictures of the President with an "X" marked over his face and
threatening letters to actress Jodie Foster and President Reagan. The
Park Sheraton Hotel was the hotel used by Hinckley when he visited
New Haven. Richardson is reportedly a resident of Drexel Hill, Penn
sylvania and has been known to have traveled to Colorado.
No further information is available at this time — 6:00 p.m.

INVESTIGATIVE LEADS
April 2, 1981 1800 hr.
CURRENT LEVELS OF INVESTIGATION RE: THE REAGAN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT
Investigative Leads counterintelligence staff has begun,a broad-ranging

investigation, into the background of alleged would-be assassin John
Warnock Hinckley. At this moment we are proceeding from the standpoint
that the "lone assassin" theory and the "love motive" are limiting
points of the official government investigation. Our responsibility is
to provide the maximum areas of investigatory work which takes the so-
called "love relationship" fantasy between Hinckley and movie actress
Jodie Foster as just one element of the overall picture. , \ ;
1. Further Background of John W. Hinckley Jr. j
John W. Hinckley is presently undergoing psychiatric examination at the

Marine base at Quantico, Va. From sources familiar with the Hinckley
family, John W. Hinckley has been under psychiatric care over the last ,
five months. As of yet, there is no conclusive evidence that this was
the only point of psychiatric; care or whether: the subject was ever hos
pitalized for psychological problems. The public profile of Hinckley
is contradictory and should not be taken at face value. What investi
gators must look for is the "Manchurian Candidate" brainwash profile
and that he might have been programmed for the, "hit”. Hypnosis in com
bination with certain controlled substances are. included points for ,
further investigations. ’According to secondary intelligence community -
sources, Hinckley during his March 8-23, 1981 stay at the Golden Hour , ,:
Motel in Lakewood, Colorado had a regular routine getting up at 9:00 AM
and going to bed at 9:00 PM. At regular;intervals Hinckley would re-
qeive a telephone, call ordering him, to ia pre-designated phone booth
where his apparent.controller would issue coded instructions. The motel
manager, Ginger Ancourt,cpnfirmed the regular schedule of movement and
when Hinckley w a s :questioned by her as to his activity, he would only
ptate that he was "going to work." . j-,; - L.' Rrc:;;, u.

Hinckley took,a course.i n :the summer of 1978 and received an A- for his
paper on Hitler’s, Mein Kampf. Nelson described Hinckley .as a loner, but
certainly,not an individual with apparent deep emotional problems. It

was also at this time that Hinckley was a "member in good standing" with
the National Socialist Party of America based in Chicago. His recruitment
and subsequent activity with the Nazis was short-lived, indicating to our .
investigators that the Nazi period of Hinckley can be considered signifi
cant only insofar as it serves as a "cover" for his further activity.
Hinckley’s period of university schooling f r o m '1973-80 is one of constant

shifting of major course study and constant dropping out and later return
ing. This kind of profile clearly indicates some level of drug u s a g e —
probably marijuana and LSD. According to students at Texas Tech, there is
a group at the university which openly advocates decriminalization of
drugs. The group also advocates LSD, and although they claim no knowledge
of Hinckley, the group’s profile clearly points to possible association
with them. The group is called Concerned and Political Students and
apparently frequents a countercultural saloon called Main Street, run by
a person, named John Paul Jones. It should be recalled that Hinckley .
travelled in similar circles in Evergreen, Colorado, frequently going to a
Punk Rock bar called Hi-Spot 44 where a Punk Rock group called the Kamikazi
Klones performed. The drug-rock group is rabidly environmentalist.
Further area for investigation is the region surrounding Lubbock, Texas.

From 1976-78, there were reports of cult murders. The area where these
incidents occured was in Slaten, Texas. All of these cult ritual murders
are presently "unsolved. These cult murders involved the castration,
mutilation and removal of the hearts of bull as part of the ritual.
Farmers in this area surrounding Lubbock identified a "devil1 worshipping
witch cult" in Dimmitt, T^xas, nearly 60 miles from Lubbock as a possible
clue in the cult murders. The Church of Wicca,' run by Louise and Loi
Stone, was involved in amurder”for which Loi was acquitted. This Church
of Wicca has branches in North Carolina and Pennsylvania. It should be
noted that,Hinckley has used the pseudonym "John Warlock." s .: t.
The critical period of Hinckley’s activity iii'terms of his stalking of

President Reagan is the October to March period. During the first week of
October, the 1st and 2nd. of that month, Hinckley travelled to Yale Univer
sity in New Haven,' Connecticut Where he attempted to visit Jodie Faster’,
the movie actress from the film "Taxi Driver." According to two bartend
ers in the university yacinity,’Hinckley came to these bars bragging about
his relationship with Foster. After several attempts to see her, Hinckley
travelled to New York. 'From New York, Hinckley travelled to Nashville,
Tenn, wherp he was picked up by airport authorities and arrested on his
way back to. New York wEere presidential candidates Reagan arid Carter were
^peaking at. the Alfred Smith Dinner at the Waldorf Astoria.' The U.S*
Attorney General inNasHyille and the local police informed the EBI of-
(Hinckley’s, arrest. Treasury Secretary Donald Regan tbld the House Appro

since 1972. He graduated from the University of Maine. Mitchell has
correspondence with terrorist profilers David Hubbard and H.H.A. Cooper.
Both were identified in the first special report.
3. Family Background ‘
John W. Hinckley, Sr. lived in Ardmore, Oklahoma until 1955. He moved to

Dallas, Texas and worked for two small oil companies until 1970 when he ;
founded the Vanderbilt Energy Corporation. According to public informa
tion, Vanderbilt Energy Corporation got off the ground through the invest
ment of six individuals who put up $120,000. According to sources in New
York City familiar with Texas oil circuits, Cullen Oil — one of the larg
est privately-held firms — provided Hinckley with a $800,000 loan/invest-
ment. Cullen Oil Corp, is tied into the DiPortanova family •— the Italian
Genoese oligarchic family which owns considerable land in Alcapulco, Mexico
and is involved in international jet-set circles. Baron di Portanova's
wife Sandra is the heir to the Cullen Oil interests. Their attorney and
close confidante is Roy M. Cohn, the notorious. New York City lawyer who
was implicated in the Kennedy assassination through his direct association
with Permindex — the front company set up by British SOE operative and
terrorist controller, Major Louis M. Bloomfield. Bloomfield is also a top
official of the International Law Association which is holding a confer
ence in Sicily on "Terrorism and the Mass Media." French security identi
fied Permindex as the assassination unit which attempted to kill General
de Gaulle. Whether the Cullen Oil interests and Vanderbilt Energy Corpor
ation have the financial and political relationship identified above re
mains an open question.
In addition, Hinckley is a "born again Christian" who funds one of the

largest religious relief agencies, called World Vision International.
Hinckley's association with World Vision began 5 years ago. WVI is a non
denominational group operating in 91 countries participating in leadership
training and agricultural development programs. It is part of the Holis
tic Ministries that engage in missionary work around the world dealing
with child care, orphanages, and hospitals. It has hospitals in Kampuchea,
El Salvador, and Honduras. The present director is Dr. Stanley Mooneyham.
According to two highly-informed intelligence sources in the U.S., WVI has

been involved in intelligence operations. The exact nature of this activ
ity is at present unclear. However, it began in Korea in 1950, under the
direction of Dr. Robert Pierce, an evangelical Christian missionary former
ly associated with the Youth for Christ movement.
Hinckley's involvement with WVI is rather extensive. According to Robert

Ainsworth, the head of the U.S. Ministries Division of WVI, Hinckley along
with Ainsworth travelled to the Sahel region of Africa and Zimbabwe.
Ainsworth was a battalion commander in the U.S. Army stationed at Ft. Car
son until 1975. He was also a political-military affairs specialist for

the State Department. His specialty was developing nations. Ainsworth

also headed the Inter-Agency Task-Force for Establishing a Chemical-
Biological Warfare .Treaty in 1977. Prominent members of the WVI include
Rev. Richard Halverson, the chaplain of the U.S. Senate; Sen. Mark Hat
field (R-Oregon); and movie actress Carol Lawrence.
Another important lead on the WVI is a prominent advertisement in the West

German publication Der Speigel, March 30, 1981 edition. The ad uses a
quote from pro-terrorist controller and founding member of the Institute
for Policy Studies, Richard Barnet, as a means for identifying the "world
food crisis." Barnet is presently in West Germany planning environmental
ist attacks against NATO nuclear stockpile sites throughout West Germany.
Barnet is coordinating his activity with terrorist supporter Phillip Agee
and the environmentalist movement attempting to overthrow the government
of Chancellor Helmut Schmidt. .

WVI has its office in West Germany in a. town outside of Frankfurt called
Oberuvsel. Oberuvsel:was ; an intelligence center after WWII for the Allied
Command. It is also one of the centers of the Gnostic pagan movement, the
Anthroposophists, where they have a farm in Oberuvsel. The Anthroposophists
were a cult-offshoot of Madame Blavatsky*s Theosophy Movement. The Anthro
posophists were founded in Germany by Rudolf .Steiner, who was instrumental
in creating the environmentalist movement in Weimar Germany during the
1920s, out of which came the Hitler Youth Movement.

CURRENT LEVELS OF INVESTIGATION RE. THE REAGAN ASSASSINATION TRY
On the basis of the first 24 hours of investigation following

yesterday's assassination attempt against President Ronald Rea
gan, the IL counterintelligence staff has developed the follow
ing grid of investigative leads. These leads represent five
different levels of command, all of which would have poten
tially been involved in aspects of the assassination effort.
This initial memorandum will be updated as appropriate new
elements of the investigation are developed.
1. John Warnock Hinckley Jr.
John w. Hinckley Jr., presently in FBI custody for the attempt

ed assassination of President Reagan, bears the initial pro
file of a "Manchurian Candidate" assassin. Based on his pro
ficiency with the .22 revolver he used at the Washington Hil
ton scene, his technical abilities are those of an expert gun
man. However, no professional "hit man" would have ever at
tempted to carry out a Presidential assassination under the
circumstances of March 30. Any avenue of escape was virtually
out of the question.
The information presently available re. Hinckley's personal
profile points in this overall direction. Sources close to
the Hinckley family stated publicly that John Jr. was under
going as yet unspecified psychiatric care. It is known that
from March 8-23, 1981, he was living in Lakewood, Colorado at
the Golden Hour Motel. He had no visitors at the motel and
paid for all of his expenses in cash. He drove into Lakewood
in a Plymouth Volare bearing Texas license plates. It has
been reported that he was either a patient or an employee at
the Mt. Airy Hospital in Denver. Mt. Airy Hospital is a very
exclusive, private 100 bed hospital which specializes in psy
chiatric care including drug and alcohol addiction treatment.
Spokesman for the hospital have refused to either confirm or
deny Hinckle's presence there.
From 1978-80, Hinckley was an on-again-off-again student at

Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. It is known that
during 1978, he was a student in the History Department,
during which time he studied under Professor Otto M. Nelson.
Assassination Plot -2
As the term paper for Nelson's course on "Modern European So

cial Movements: Socialism, Communism, Anarchism and Fascism",
Hinckley prepared a study of Adolpjh Hitler's Mein Kampf. At
this time, Hinckley was a member df the National Socialist -
Party of America (N$PA) , a neo-Nazji organization. On March
12, 1978, Hinckley was in St. Louijs, Mo. for meetings with
members of the NSPA+ According toi Michael Allen, a leader of
the NSPA, Hinckley Vas expelled from the Party some time in
1979 as the result Qf his continue*! demands that the group
should "blow up and shoot up everything."
Hinckley's studies at the Lubbock,;Texas campus continued

through at least the summer session, 1980. In the first and
second weeks of October, 1980, Hinckley was actively stalking
Ronald Reagan and/or Jimmy Carter. On October 9, Hinbkley
was arrested by airport police at Nashville Airport as he
attempted to board a flight for New York City carrying a duf
fle bag with several hand guns and ammunition. President
Carter was scheduled to hold a town meeting in Nashville that
night; and candidate Reagan was due to be in Nashville the
previous day until his plans were interrupted. Both Reagan
and Carter were scheduled to be in New York City beginning on
October 10 to attend an Alfred E. Smith testimonial dinner.
By all standard procedures, Hinckley's name should have been

added to a computerized list of individuals posing a threat
to the President as the result of his detention in Nashville.
For reasons that have yet to be clarified, Hinckley was allowed
to leave Nashville after paying a $62 fine and his name was .
apparently never added to the list. That list is principally
maintained by the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Division of
the U.S. Department Of the Treasury and is accessed by the
Secret Service, the Federal Aviation Administration, the U.S.
Sky Marshalls, the FBI and other agencies.
Within approximately one week of his detention in Nashville,

Hinckley was in Dallas, Texas purchasing two .22 caliber re
volvers .
In addition to his profiled neo-Nazi affiliations, Hinckley

has been characterized as a radical environmentalist who was
reportedly incensed at the anticipated anti-environmentalist
policies of the Reagan administration. It has been suggested
that during a period of residence in Hollywood, Cal. Hinckley
was directly involved in environmentalist activities; however,
no confirming evidence of this has emerged yet. It is known
that Hinckley — during his recent visits to the Lakewood, Col.
area — had been associated with the local drug-rock-environ
mentalist circles through a rock band called "Kamikazi Klones",
led by one Jimmy Murphy.
2. The Neo-Nazi Connection
Hinckley's several year association with the National Socialist

Party of America represents one leve^l of fruitful potential leads.
NSPA is associated wiih both the Skokie, Illinois riot provoca-
tions of the 1978 period and with the more recent November, 1979
Greensboro, North Carolina gun battle with members of the Commu
nist Workers Party (CWP) in which five communists were killed.
Among the leading identified members of the NSPA are:
* Frank Collin, leader of the Skokie march efforts, now in jail
on charges of child molesting and related sex crimes. Collin
is widely reported to be the son of Jewish concentration camp
victims and a potential informant for the Anti-Defamation League
of B ’nai Brith, a private intelligence agency.
* Harold Covington, leader of the NSPA in the Carolinas and
the principle figure behind the November, 1979 shootout.
* Karl Hand, leader of the NSPA in the Buffalo, New York area.
Hand is closely associated with neo-Nazi circles in Canada,
including Don Andrews of the Western Guard Party, now called
the Canadian Nationalist Party. These networks were involved
in the 1973-74 project known as "Unity Now", an amalgam of
both leftwing and rightwing extremist groups who constituted
themselves as a phony Canada-based cell of the Arab terrorist
"Black September" group and were prepared to conduct a widescale
terrorist activation until U.S. intelligence agencies intervened
to preempt the actions.
* Vincent Allen, an NSPA member in Chicago with links to a
nationwide network of Nazi motorcycle gangs. These gangs go
under the name National Socialist Liberation Front in several
areas around the country, including Los Angeles. They are
known to be the most violent of all of the neo-Nazi gangs,
openly advocating the overthrow of the U.S. government through
the barrell of a gun. In the southern New Jersey-eastern Pen
nsylvania area, there are active National Socialist Liberation
Front cells. Among the identified members are: Ed Reynolds,
Frank Duffy and William Sickles. Sickles operates throughout -
the northeast, particularly in Connecticut, in conjunction with
a network of hardcore Nazi criminals with long records of prison
behavior modification treatment.
It should be noted that the area of Colorado that includes Lake

wood, Evergreen and Denver is heavily populated by neo-Nazi and
related extremist paramilitary groupings. This profile of
the area dates back to the 1950s and l-960s when organizations
such as the Christian Soldiers of the Cross (a westcoast paral
lel to the Minutemen organization of Robert DePugh) were run
ning active training camps in the Evergreen area.
Furthermore, the Lubbock, Texas area is long associated with

rightwing extremist paramilitary causes. These connections, in
turn, track into higher levels of the command apparatus through
the 1960s assassination bureau, Permindex, which maintained
safehouse and training facilities on large private ranches in
the area.
3. Behavior Modification
The existance of "National Socialist" countergangs in the United

States is properly viewed as a "political cult" capability con
sciously fostered through the use of behavior modification tech
niques frequently within prison and drug detoxification settings.
It is in this contejxt that the role of the NSPA in shaping the
profile of would-be! Presidential assassin Hinckley is properly
investigated. During his recent stay in the Denver area, as
well as during his immediate post-Hilton interrogation, Hinck
ley was reportedly in a "spaced out, dazed state — as if he
did not know what had happened". IHis involvement with the NSPA
must be viewed in the context of his reported severe mental prob
lems and possible ihvolvement in plsychiatric behavior modifica
tion treatment. >
It should be noted that the Evergreen-Lakewood, Colorado area
is dotted with radical psychiatric! programs — some of which
take the form of therapy communes., In a recently published book,
The Aquarian Conspiracy, by Marilyn Ferguson, a series of radical
psychotherapy programs were cited in the Evergreen area that
engage in precisely the kinds of radical psychotherapy that leads
to the fostering of political cults of both the extreme rightwing
and leftwing profile. Hinckley’s reported neo-Nazi and environ
mentalist background conforms to these kinds of programs.
Among the most immediately identified leads for investigation
re. Hinckley are:
* Dr. George Dovenmuehle, formerly the director of the Evergreen
Institute and now a private psychotherapist in the Lakewood area.
Dovenmuehle was reportedly involved in the founding of a Gestalt
Institute in the Denver area, an Institute associated with the
Colorado Holistic Health Network, located also in Denver.
* Neuropa, a Boulder, Colorado center advertizing training in
philosophy, music and martial arts. Both the Evergreen Institute
and Neuropa have been preliminarily identified as behavior modi
fication programs formerly linked With the MK-Ultra experimenta
tion in the inducement of psychosis through the use of mind
altering drugs.
* Mt. Airy Hospital (see above)
It should be noted that the Essalin Institute in southern Cali

fornia, a similar radical psychotherapy center, was the last known
address of Charles Manson during the several week period leading
up to the mass murder spree of the Manson Family. The Nazi cult
ist aspects of the Manson Family directly intersected the acti
vities of the National Socialist Liberation Front and related
motorcycle gang elements in California.
4. The Profilers
Proceeding from the view that a broader conspiratorial network

was behind the March 30 assassination attempt against President
Reagan, and that the assassination plan had the character of a
"Manchurian Candidate" deployment, a further level of command
is suggested. This level of command involves the profiling of
both the potential assassin and the potential target of assassina
tion.
A tightly knit network of professional behavior modification

experts and criminologists has been identified that bears special
investigative attention in this regard. Members of this network
represent themselves as some of the world’s foremost experts on

international terrorism.
Among the individuals most relevant to the Hinckley case are:
* Dr. David G. Hubbard, director of the Aberant Behavior Center
in Dallas, Texas, and former psychiatric consultant at the
Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield, Missouri.
The Springfield facility is known to be a center for behavior
modification and is believed to have been the location where
Minuteman head Robert DePugh was subjected to psychiatric con
ditioning. Hubbard is listed as a consulting psychiatrist for
the International Law Association, an international network of
lawyers involved in the higher levels of deployment control over
terrorist networks.
* H.H.A. Cooper, a British subject residing in the United States
for the past several years. Cooper has personally acknowledged
close ties to Italian Red Brigades controller, professor Tony
Negri. Despite this, Cooper has served as a terrorism advisor
to the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the
Law Enforcement Assistance Administration. A close collaborator
of David Hubbard, is presently believed to be in attendance at
an international terrorism conference in Syracuse, Sicily.
* Major Louis Mortimer Bloomfield, a leading figure within the
above-cited ILA. During the 1960s, the former Special Operations
Executive major was exposed by U.S. and French security services
as the director of Permindex, a Montreal-based international
trade company that bankrolled the assassination of President
John F. Kennedy and the over thirty aborted attempts on the life
of French President Charles DeGaulle. Bloomfield is a special
anti-terrorism consultant for the United Nations and has in that
capacity drafted every UNO convention on terrorism and hnd air
piracy.
* Vittorfranco Pisano, the director of the European Law Division
of the Library of Congress and another self-described expert on
international terrorism ~ — __ ,
actively predicted an early assassination of President Reagan.
- ' . Pisano is durrently in attendance

at the Syracuse, Sicily terrorism conference.
The particular group of behavior modification and criminology

specialists cited above are an inner core within a larger environ
ment of witting operatives who profile for future terrorist acts.
They have been singled out because their immediate activities
potentially intersect the particulars of the Hinckley case.
The most significant point of intersection (aside of the case

of Dr. David Hubbard, whose Center in Dallas may have direct bear
ing on the Hinckley profile) involves the early March, 1980 state
visit by President Reagan to Ottowa, Canada. During that visit,
President Reagan was subjected to a severe security threat in
the form of a several thousand strong demonstration by hostile
and in many cases pro-terrorist leftist protesters. At points
during the President’s public appearances, the demonstrators
were within 50 feet. Radio reports at the time indicated that
• •
Assassination Plot
• -6-
i
the Secret Service detachment traveling with the President, had
been stripped of thjeir weapons. |
The Presidential security situation during that Canada visit

was the subject of reported profiling by a group of university
based associates of Bloomfield, Hubbard, etal. According to
Thomas Mitchell, a professor at Chrlton University in Ottowa
and the sponsor of the soon-to-taJce-place Carlton Conference
on International Terrorism in the ^9803, he personally conducted
a profile study of the behavior of President Reagan, the Secret
Service and the Royal Canadian Mounted Pdllce on being faced .
with a severe security problem. Mitchell is himself known to
be a sympathizer of environmentalist causes in addition to being
an expert on terrorism. Among hisi co-sponsors for the Carlton
conference on terrorism is Michael Widdington, a member of the
Canadian Government’s Crisis Management Team.
Such professional, indepth profiling of security procedures and

the precise mannerisms of the targeted victim are preconditions
for any professional hit attempt — r even an attempt in which
the assassin is a "Manchurian'’ deployable. .
Thomas Mitchell is identified as a consultant with the Interna

tional Law Association. In his own written works, he has cited
personal gratitude to Dr. David Hubbard for his contributions.
5. The British Security Commission
While the activities of the behavior modification specialists

and the criminologists interfaced With their activities con
stitutes a critical area of investigation, the overall command
over such an ambitious terrorist effort does not reside with
these technicians.
In the case of the Permindex assassination activities of the 1960s,

that command level decision making process was traced to the
highest levels of a ’’one world command structure" deeply inter
faced with the intelligence networks in the Royal Household of
Britain.
One of the vehicles through which the Permindex assassination

apparatus was activated was the British Security Commission,
then known as the Radcliffe Commission. The Radcliffe Com
mission was constituted in 1962 under the pretext of conducting
a thorough review of the security procedures of the British .
MI-5, MI-6 and other secret services. Strong evidence indicates
that the conducting of this procedural review was merely a cover
for the activation of a massive international dirty tricks cam
paign dedicated to preventing the U.S. and continental European
governments from embarking on an independent economic and poli
tical policy profile contrary to the interests of the British
oligarchy. Permindex director Louis M. Bloomfield was an asset
of the Radcliffe Commission at the time of the John Kennedy
assassination and the aborted attempts on General DeGaulle.
Assassination Plot -7- :
In the past week, under the guise of the MI-5 "spy revalations",
British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher has announced;the re
activation of the Security Commission (now called the;Diplock
Commission after its chairman Lord Diplock). ;
The Diplock Commission consists of seven longtime secret service
executives who report only to the Royal Household. The members
of the Commission are: ;
* Lord Diplock, Law Lord ;
* Lord Bridge of Harwick, Lord of Appeals and a former member
of the High Court i
* Lord Greenhill of Harrow, former director of the Diplomatic
Service and former director of British Petroleum '
* Lord Allen of Abbeydale, former Permanent Undersecretary of
the British Home Office 1
* General Sir Dudley Ward, former Commissioner of the JRoyal
Electrical and Mechanical Engineers I
* Admiral Sir Horace Law, former Commander in Chief of the Naval
Home Commission ; .
* Sir Allen Cottrell, former Science Advisor to the Government
and to the Defense Ministry, currently the Master of Jesus Col
lege, Cambridge ;
6. The Disinformation Factor ;
It should be noted that much of the detailed information coming

out of public sourcing will tend to have a strong disinforma
tion factor. It is for this reason that a broad range!of leads
bridging different levels of the assassination command ^have
been identiifed in this preliminary memorandum. Simultaneous
pursuit of all five levels of the investigation is one iof the
most effective insurances against severe misdirection. J It is
the overall environment that produces the terrorist capabili
ties activated on March 30 that is the proper subject Of any
serious investigation. The agencies cited above have the ca
pacity to deploy thousands of Hinckleys provided that they
themselves remain aloof from criminal investigation. ]
In addition to the areas of investigation cited above, 'special

critical attention must be devoted to establishing the ireasons
behind the security breach that allowed Hinckley to enter the
immediate environment of the President after his October, 1980
detention in Nashville. The rigorous pursuit of that line of
investigation will most suredly lead to the &pening up iof leads
that are yet to surface and that represent crucial evidence.
