Abusive Priest Exposed in Netflix Series Was Trained Under CIA’s Operation MK-ULTRA

Investigators starring in the Emmy Award-nominated Netflix documentary, The Keepers, interviewed many women and at least one man reporting that Father Joseph Maskell raped them, and appeared to play a part in the murder of teacher Cathy Cesnik.

After The Keepers aired in 2017, Cesnik’s student in 1969, Gemma Hoskins, and a former Baltimore Sun reporter, Tom Nugent, found that Maskell worked at the U.S. Army’s Fort Meade and reportedly sold sex with teen girls to police and politicians, using CIA’s MK-ULTRA techniques.

Award-winning syndicated Chicago Tribune columnist Edwin Black detailed in his book, War Against the Weak, how White Anglo-Saxon Protestant families started the eugenics movement in the early 1900s, paying professors at top universities to state that social issues such as poverty and “imbecility” were genetically caused.[1]

According to Black, these wealthiest families, including the Rockefellers, (JP) Morgans, Carnegies and Harrimans etc., had their hired scholars who classified 89% of Blacks (and other people of color) as well as 70% of Jews and a lesser percentage of Catholics as genetically inferior based on “IQ tests” that were extremely biased in using wealthy people’s activities.[2]

These families also paid for influence amongst politicians who passed eugenics laws in 31 states. NBC News reported how this led to the sterilization of a vast number of Americans, particularly people of color, at least until the 1970s.[3]

Black noted how eugenics doctors, celebrated in a prominent movie of the late 1910s, The Black Stork (1917), killed babies from “defective” mothers upon birth. Many people were sent to state hospitals where they were fed milk from tubercular cows, killing up to 40% of the patients.[4]

Many of those oligarchical families then funded eugenics’ rise in Germany that evolved into Nazism. U.S. intelligence further gave refuge to Nazi scientists through Operation Paperclip, which brought some of them into Project MK-ULTRA by 1953.[5]

Bat-bombs, mind control and umbrella guns: This over-the-top spy agency was the forerunner of the CIA

As President Franklin Delano Roosevelt sat in his wheelchair in the Oval Office, dictating a letter to his secretary, in sneaked William Donovan, the head of the Office of Strategic Services, armed with a loaded pistol.

At Donovan’s feet was a bag of sand.

As the president continued working, oblivious to Donovan’s presence, the OSS chief quickly fired 10 bullets into the sand — and still Roosevelt knew nothing, only turning round when he could smell burnt gun powder in the air.

“He looked up with wide eyes and saw Donovan standing behind him with a smoking gun in his hand,” writes John Lisle in “The Dirty Tricks Department: Stanley Lovell, the OSS and the Masterminds of World War II Secret Warfare” (St. Martin’s Press).

Donovan wrapped the pistol in a handkerchief and gave it to the president, introducing it as the OSS’s new firearm, silent and flashless.

A forerunner to the Central Intelligence Agency, the OSS was formed in June 1942 to coordinate the espionage activities of the country’s armed forces during World War II.

FBI Agents Accuse CIA Of 9/11 Cover-Up In Dramatic Court Bombshell

FBI agents are accusing the CIA of allegedly covering up its association with two hijackers involved in the September 11 terrorist attacks, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

The bombshell revelation emerged in a 21-page top-secret report detailing how the CIA tried to recruit two Al Qaeda members in southern California in a failed attempt to penetrate Osama bin Laden’s bloodthirsty terror network.

The report was compiled by Don Canestraro, an investigator for the Office of Military Commissions who submitted the damning report in 2021 at the Guantanamo Bay naval base in Cuba where the 9-11 hijackers faced trials for murder and terrorism.

“During July of 2016, I began an investigation into the possible involvement of the Saudi Arabian Government and the Central Intelligence Agency in the events leading up to the 9/11 attacks,” states the report first obtained by the investigative website spytalk.co.

“I began a review of discovery provided by the Government to the Defense and open source materials available on Omar Al-Bayoumi, a suspected Saudi intelligence officer who had contact with 9/11 hijackers Nawaf Al-Hazmi and Khalid Al-Mihdhar.”

The duo was part of the five-man team that hijacked American Airlines Flight 77 which crashed into the Pentagon.

RFK Jr. Says CIA Is Connected to 2001 Anthrax Attacks

Robert F. Kennedy was recently a guest on the Jimmy Dore Show and during his interview, he shared a wealth of knowledge about the 2001 anthrax attacks and the development of bioweapons in the United States.

The anthrax attacks also known as the “Amerithrax” attacks occurred just one week after the September 11th terror attacks in 2001.

The attacks consisted of anthrax being sent through the United States Postal System via letters and delivered to several news organizations, Sen. Patrick Leahy and Sen. Tom Daschle.

Kennedy shared that the letters were sent to both Sen. Leahy and Sen. Daschle because they were trying to block the Patriot Act in 2001.

He went on to reveal the Patriot Act was a vicious attack against the US Constitution and “re-opened the bioweapons arms race that was shut down by Nixon in 1969.”

The son of the late US Attorney General Robert Kennedy then captivated Dore’s listeners by sharing that the FBI discovered anthrax in the letters originally “stemmed from a CIA lab in Fort Detrick, Maryland.”

CIA and Mossad-linked Surveillance System Quietly Being Installed Throughout the US

Launched in 2016 in response to a Tel Aviv shooting and the Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida, Gabriel offers a suite of surveillance products for “security and safety” incidents at “so-called soft targets and communal spaces, including schools, community centers, synagogues and churches.” The company makes the lofty promise that its products “stop mass shootings.” According to a 2018 report on Gabriel published in the Jerusalem Post, there were an estimated 475,000 such “soft targets” across the U.S., meaning that “the potential market for Gabriel is huge.”

Gabriel, since its founding, has been backed by “an impressive group of leaders,” mainly “former leaders of Mossad, Shin Bet [Israel’s domestic intelligence agency], FBI and CIA.” In recent years, even more former leaders of Israeli and American intelligence agencies have found their way onto Gabriel’s advisory board and have promoted the company’s products.

While the adoption of its surveillance technology was slower than expected in the United States, that dramatically changed last year, when an “anonymous philanthropist” gave the company $1 million to begin installing its products throughout schools, houses of worship and community centers throughout the country. That same “philanthropist” has promised to recruit others to match his donation, with the ultimate goal of installing Gabriel’s system in “every single synagogue, school and campus community in the country.”

With this CIA, FBI and Mossad-backed system now being installed throughout the United States for “free,” it is worth taking a critical look at Gabriel and its products, particularly the company’s future vision for its surveillance system. Perhaps unsurprisingly, much of the company’s future vision coincides with the vision of the intelligence agencies backing it – pre-crime, robotic policing and biometric surveillance.

Murder of Anti-Vietnam War Monk Thomas Merton in 1968 Was a CIA Hit Linked with Assassinations of JFK, RFK and MLK, New Book Argues

For five decades, the circumstances of the sudden death of the famed anti-Vietnam War monk Thomas Merton have remained cloaked in the confusion of assorted stories having very little commonality, except for the most basic facts of date and place. 

The date—December 10, 1968—and place—in a cottage located at a Red Cross conference center near Bangkok, Thailand—are about the only undisputed points of yet another death of a hero in that very violent year.  Even the time of death, approximately 2:00 p.m. local time, was disputed by the police report, a fake witness statement and biographer Michael Mott—all stating the time was one hour later.

Everything else about the circumstances of Merton’s death depends upon the version told by those who had any familiarity with it, a result of the absence of an autopsy and the rapidity of how his body was removed by the U.S. Army, embalmed, and flown back to the United States on a military aircraft also transporting other casualties of the Vietnam War being fought nearby. The presence of Father Louis (as Merton was known in the monastery) on that plane, among the bodies of soldiers, sailors and Marines killed in a war which he had long opposed, added even more irony to the mystery surrounding his death.

Authors Hugh Turley and David Martin, in their 2018 book, The Martyrdom of Thomas Merton, have effectively deconstructed nearly all of the assertions of Brother Patrick Hart (Merton’s secretary at the Kentucky abbey regarding the scene he described).

Not only was there no evidence that Merton had taken a shower, or collapsed into a disheveled pile onto the floor, a large cut and contusion on the back of his head was not noted at all, and photographs taken immediately after his death—which had been kept virtually hidden for 49 years—show that his body was lying perfectly straight, with his arms lying beside his body, just as it might be placed into a coffin.

FLASHBACK: WikiLeaks Released ‘Vault 7’ Disclosures Showing CIA’s Terrifying Hacking Capabilities Six Years Ago Today

On this day six years ago, the WikiLeaks released its “Vault 7” disclosures showing the hacking capabilities of the CIA.

The disclosures showed that the CIA is capable of hacking smartphones, computer operating systems, automobiles, messenger apps and smart TVs.

The release consisted of 8,761 documents reportedly coming from the CIA’s Center of Cyber Intelligence. It showed how the CIA could hack phones in order to bypass encrypted apps by accessing the information before the user can send the data. They can also tap into the microphone and video recording devices on phones even when they are powered off.

The CIA also developed a hack that puts Samsung Smart TVs in a fake off mode, which deceives an individual into thinking they are not being recorded when they actually are. The CIA can also leave false bread crumbs that will make it look like the hack is done by an adversary, such as Russia or China, if they are caught after the fact.

All of the Vault7 files can be found here.

Anarchy in the CIA

Twenty twenty-three is the year when counterculture officially went spook. Of course, it started there, too, so it would be more accurate to say that in 2023 counterculture closed the circle.

From 1953 to 1973, the CIA ran MKUltra, the illegal program designed to chart the potential of psychedelic drugs for mind control. Among the notable graduates of the program were the Beat writers Allen Ginsburg and Ken Kesey, environmental terrorist Ted Kaczinski, and the architect of the murder of the twentieth century, Charles Manson. All counterculture heroes on this list were first introduced to LSD by the spy agency, and all but Kaczinski then passed that experience to their disciples, forging the hippie ideology and aesthetic.

Now the CIA plans on recruiting at the South by Southwest festival, or SXSW, the punk rock/alternative yearly flagship event in Texas. On their webpage, the CIA announced that it will be holding a tech-dedicated panel called “Spies Supercharged”:

In a world of ubiquitous surveillance, artificial intelligence, sophisticated disinformation campaigns, and data streams that double in size every two years, how will intelligence agencies respond to the opportunities and challenges presented by emerging technologies and the ever-changing digital ecosystems we will live within? Join CIA Leaders in Technology and Digital Innovation on this wide-ranging discussion about the future of intelligence.

Adding that participants can

Talk with CIA officers about exciting career opportunities [and] learn about industry partnerships […]

Shortly after the panel was announced on social media, one punk rocker immediately inquired about potential financial benefits. The account tweeted:

please use your platform and make your voice be heard to demand SXSW pays performers more than just a wristband [sic].

To be sure, plenty of snarky comments were hurled at the spy agency. Still, it’s interesting that the CIA is interested in recruiting among the characters who a few years ago would be considered security risks and also that the promoters are allowing the spooks to set up a booth.

It used to be that proud degenerates, like the now disgraced Biden Administration’s gender fluid nuclear waste appointee Sam Brinton, would not be allowed anywhere near state secrets. Now it took a formal felony charge to revoke the accused serial thief’s security clearance. Brinton, who sometimes spotted a red Mohawk and purple lipstick, probably had a full-blown punk stage in college. So there is that precedent.

In decades past, an eccentric appearance was taken as a sign of rebellion. In the seventies, punk rockers lived to provoke traditional mores and challenge all authority. An art movement grounded solely in rousing emotions was expected either to wither away or emerge as a hegemonic force at the expense of shedding its core principles. It’s hard to say which option would constitute success.

In that subculture, preserving rebellious authenticity was always an uphill struggle. Some of the indicators and signals were quickly discarded—sure, wearing swastikas would antagonize a great many passers-by but tended to attract the wrong people to your shows.

In the nineties, facial piercings went hipster, and tattoos became mainstream. A sanitized version of punk aesthetic invaded suburban malls, prompting subcultural figures to guard bona fides of the scene with a more subtle dress code and, in particular, far Left politics.

In the meantime, the nation grew increasingly polarized, and the Left’s Long March through the institutions continued apace. To stand out, musicians with countercultural pretensions always opted to channel the most radical ideological assumptions into every aspect of their private lives. As a result, insufferably woke musicians cancel bandmates. That isn’t lost on the former Sex Pistol Johnny Rotten who surmised:

I never thought I’d live to see the day when the right wing would become the cool ones giving the middle finger to the establishment, and the left wing becoming the sniveling self-righteous twatty ones going around shaming everyone.

Although a handful of conservatives who happened to know who Rotten is were delighted to hear it, the musician’s opinions hardly won him any new friends in his own circles.

During the COVID lockdowns, punk rockers proved themselves to be obedient little subjects, deferring to institutional authority, supporting every repressive measure from masking, lockdowns, and compulsory injections to championing social engineering schemes.  

Henry Rollins is a great example of the newfound obedience. In an interview with Eugene Weekly the former frontman of Black Flag explained:

I believe in scientists. When Fauci speaks, I listen. I think he’s looking out for me.

Likewise, a Satanic Temple gathering scheduled for April 2023 in Boston will require masking and proof of a mRNA jab. The insistence on theatrics, long after the government bureaucracies found it unnecessary, suggests a certain fixation on power—Satanists are going to institute repressive measures just because they can.
