TESTIFYING ON TORTURE ONCE and FOR ALL

By Cathy O'Brien

Testifying before the US Congress regarding torture is exactly what I should be doing right now. Experience taught me all I know, and it is enough to prove once and for all that torture is inhumane, to say the least.

I am a fully rehabilitated US Government White House/Pentagon level mind control survivor whose testimony for the US Congressional Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Oversight was censored for so-called "Reasons of National Security". Upon the advice of an attorney in 1995, this testimony was released en masse in book form, aptly entitled TRANCE Formation of America, to bring truth to light and survive whistle blowing on US Government tortures. Despite media censorship and death threats and attempts, these proven, documented facts have now reached over 48 countries, been licensed and translated into 8 languages, and are in major universities worldwide such as the Oxford Law Library. Now that torture is finally a predominant political issue, the reality of how it is actually being used continues to be kept from the public by those in control of the American government and corporate media. Those who control information control knowledge, which in turn controls the thoughts, perceptions, opinions, and actions of those they inform.

Learning to think for myself after 3 decades of abuse, torture, and mind control programming required mind expansion and thinking out of the box so-to-speak. Torture was used to make me forget. not to remember and "tell all". It was only when I felt safe that I was able to begin remembering the government secrets and criminal covert operations I'd been tortured to forget. The same criminals that are in control of the American government today were in control of me, and they are acutely aware that torture and trauma causes humankind to forget. So why is torture being justified as a means to "extract information"? That is akin to swimming in ice water to warm up! And yet when the public is told by the media to jump in the lake, people do it because they've been assured the water is warm.

The original Manchurian Candidate brought forth the concept of "brainwashing" as it was termed back then. "Brainwashing" and the newer term "mind control" were both used in the brilliant, highly publicized Canadian victory against the CIA's Dr. Ewen Cameron and his torturous "experiments" on patients at the Allen Memorial Institute in Montreal in the1950's and 1960's. Considering today's technological advancements, pharmaceuticals, computerization, and classified mind manipulating weaponry, it is clear to see that torture is not only archaic, but is actually a diversionary issue from more prevalent forms of mass mind manipulation being used on the human population. With the corporate media controlling our knowledge base while traumatic global events terrorize us, we've become blinded by the lies, justifications, and fear mongering explanations.

Truth freed me from fear and enabled me to think and to speak about the government secrets that torture had caused me to forget. The truth that set me free can make us all free. Knowledge is our only defense against mind control. Once we consciously understand mind control and how trauma and lies perpetuate it, it can no longer be used against us- either as individuals or as a population. We have allowed a handful of criminals to box us in deeper and deeper for years, and now awareness is rising and truth is coming to light. Wake up. It is a new day! Think out of the box. Think beyond what you've been led to believe. Ask questions. Research answers. Expand your thinking to consider other perceptions. Think for your self and know the truth that will set us free, once and for all.
