The US Intelligence community, the US military and the US State and new Home defense departments have failed America and the World Community by neglecting to pay attention to the root causes of Terrorism. John Walker Lindh the "American Taliban" is the embarrassing proof of this failure… It does not make sense to Americans that John Walker Lindh should be found amongst the Taliban and, seemingly, willing to take up arms against fellow Americans. Unless he is seen in the more probable and logical context that he is a victim of modern mind control and cult techniques. At which point he becomes a shining example of what destructive powers a religious cult using mind control can bring to bear on a fellow citizen. The American public well knows how mind control cults can turn members into martyrs, like with Jonestown and Hale Bop, or how cults can turn members into terrorists, as in the Aum Shinrikyo sarin gas attacks in the Tokyo subways. The Al-Qaida terrorist network is, at its core, a religious cult that is also manufacturing mind controlled cult martyrs and terrorists. These terrorists and martyrs have become of a similar mind to those people that played out the tragedies in Jonestown, Hale Bop and in the Aum Shinrikyo attacks and, not much different to the religious martyrs now turning Israel into a living hell. Is not an illusion that today's mind control is so powerful that it can quickly and efficiently manufacture cult martyrs and terrorists. Just look at the extraordinary power that mind control techniques had as long as 50 years ago and then bear in mind the huge progress that has been made in refining these techniques up to the present day. In the late 1940's, when mind control technology was in its infancy, our toughest captured Air Force pilots were broken down by Korean mind control in just a matter of months. This was so effectively done that, to the shock of the American public, our most patriotic and gung-ho military pilots publicly renounced their country, and everything it stood for, on Korean TV. During the Russian occupation of Poland, Catholic Cardinal Minzinski publicly crumbled under Russian mind control and quickly renounced Catholicism - a faith to which he had dedicated his whole life. During the 1940's modern science refined, expanded and augmented the rudimentary and empirically discovered mind control techniques that had been practiced by fanatical religious and political cults for centuries and often used in initiation rituals by secret societies. Over the last 50 years through on-going research our modern science has now made mind control so powerful that it can now take almost any person and create a completely new person with new values ideas and actions --- and John Walker is living proof of that. When modern mind control technology is applied in the setting of a destructive cult to fight for either a legitimate issue or an illegitimate issue, it can turn a person, who would normally be a law abiding advocate for that issue, into a terrorist or martyr for that issue --- all without the person's ever knowing that an intentional mind control program had been surreptitiously applied. In the early 1990s, Salman Rushdie warned us that brainwashing (another name for mind control) was being used by Islamic fundamentalists and that it was a real threat to Western civilization. The mind control that affected John Walker was applied in the Islamic fundamentalist religious schools that he was recruited to. It was there that he was being turned into a soldier for a fundamentalist sect. What started as the expression of a religious idea or ideal was twisted through mind control into political activism aimed straight back at the very things he loved. When you begin to consider that the current wave of world wide religious and political terrorism is as much being caused by mind control being applied in the dynamics of cult settings as being caused by legitimate or illegitimate issues, you will then be able to begin to see the actual causes of this new wave of terrorism and not just its horrific symptoms. We are fully aware that there are many other causes that have lead us to this sorry state of International Terror and malevolently disposed religious fundamentalism. Poverty, political disputes, old grudges and demagoguery have all played a part. Some of these grievances are legitimate but they can be turned to violence with just the right application of the power of modern mind control. We are also aware that there are many "isms" out there that can lead to the destruction of all we hold dear. We cannot legislate against the "isms" that give discontent its form. But, what we can do is to pay special attention to those mind control techniques that allow organizations to turn people into automatons and into weapons. We must pay special attention to the powerful new techniques that diminish people's capacity to think for themselves. The fatal flaw in America's current war on terrorism is that it is mostly about dealing with the symptoms that are manifested as terrorism and not about dealing with the true causes of terrorism. Our current first line of defense is our intelligence gathering. It should also be about recognizing and preventing the causes of terrorism and not be consumed with "recognizing" terrorists after they have completed their training and are about to act. Our second line of defense, at the moment, is the increasingly expensive security that is unpleasantly changing the way we all live. It, too, is only currently dealing the symptoms and not the causes of terrorism. Our last line of defense is the extremely expensive military retaliation after a terrorist act occurs. Which is always too little, too late. All of our attention to symptoms makes America appear, in the eyes of the world, to be reactionary and lacking the intellectual rigor or political will to deal proactively with the actual causes of terrorism. Dealing only with symptoms is a very slippery slope to be caught on. If Americans knew where the path that they were on led to, would they chose to remain on it? Will America, like Israel & Northern Ireland & Rhodesia (Zimbawe) & South Africa (During the Apartheid era) & the old Soviet Union move ever closer to martial law because of a lack of imagination regarding issues that threaten the nation? Will America become a nation driven by fear? Are we living through the twilight years of our Civil Liberties? Will we lose sight of those higher aspirations that made America great because cannot separate the woods from the trees? America's current war on terrorism is perilously flawed without a powerfully-executed, inoculative and preventative educational program on the tactics of mind control and destructive cults that is widely available in every language where these cults exists. It is as irrational to charge John Walker with "conspiring with terrorists" as it would have been to put those captured and brainwashed 1940's US Air Force pilots on trial for being traitors to their country. John Walker is as much of a victim as they were. Maybe even more so because mind control has advanced 50 years since the Korean War. To add insult to injury, putting John Walker on trial for treason, terrorism or conspiracy with the enemy without providing independent outside cult and mind control experts to examine what had happened to him after he was recruited by the fundamentalist Islamic group who sent him to the Al-Qaida would be a gross lack of due diligence for Walker's attorney James Brosnahan as well as for the government prosecutors James Kelley and Randy Bellows. To say that it would be grounds for a malpractice lawsuit against the defense lawyers, grounds for an appeal of any verdict as well as grounds for the removal of any judge who would allow such an injustice to be allowed is an understatement. Without John Walker being pre-trial examined by independent, court-certified cult and mind control experts like David Clark of Harvard or Dr Margaret Singer, professor emeritus UC Berkeley, any "show trial" of John Walker besides being a travesty of justice is a clear sign of the governments desperation for a conviction at the expense of common sense - not to mention common law. John Walker is not himself the fatal flaw in our war on terrorism just the pointer to it. Part of that fatal flaw exists in that in just a few months we have now spent over 100 billion dollars dealing with the violent symptoms of a terrorist mind control cult and we have not spent 10,000 dollars on cult and mind control education to cut off the flow of cult recruits or to turn former cult members into valuable intelligence sources or to turn existing cult members into double agents. Widespread education on how mind control works in destructive cults is the first line of cost effective prevention and population inoculation that finally deals with the real causes of the manufacturing system that creates martyrs and terrorists. (This does not imply that we do not also have to address legitimate grievances or injustices, but unless we deal with the mind control and cult machinery that turns those legitimate grievances or injustices onto martyrdom or terrorism we will have an almost impossible task to get out of the dwindling spiral of terrorism increased intelligence, security, retaliation and soaring expenses and lowered productivity.) Exploiting the symptoms of the estimated 20,000 terrorist cult members in the world has become very big business. Under the symptom-focused banner of "Stop Osama Ben Laden and the Terrorists" every security company, defense contractor or need of the intelligence community that again only addresses the symptoms of terrorism is getting bathed in cash just by pushing the fear button. We are spending billions for symptom handling intelligence, security and precision bombs for retaliation, but are we spending anything at all for the precision targeting and handling of the actual causes of the wave of global terrorism? We have already made what could eventually become the first big cult-management mistake of fractionalizing the Al-Qaida network into many small cells by our Afghanistan attacks and now these smaller cells will be even harder to track and predict. We have won some initial small battles against the estimated 20,000 terrorists worldwide, but we are in serious danger of losing the long-term war and turning America into another terrorist-plagued, retaliation-driven "Israel" if we do not aggressively and quickly initiate a well financed preventive program of global education on mind control and the control dynamics of destructive cults. This editorial on dealing with causes and mind control does not imply or mean that John Walker and the other terrorists must not be handled with swift and appropriate physical intervention and detention to prevent more terrorist acts. But, it does recommend that independent experts on mind control and cults must carefully interview them on a case-by-case basis so that they receive fair trials and so that the world gets the added benefit of being educated about these real causes contributing to the rise of global terrorism. In these public trials much good could be done by narrowing in the publics mind our targeting of 20,000 terrorists in mind control cults that can be deprogrammed and that can be denied new recruits if our national and international society learns about mind control and how to deal with it. Our generalized and vague war on terrorism all over the world needs to evolve to a focused war on a small number terrorist mind control cults. We need to stop letting a few terrorists and those who would capitalize on our fears become one hair on the tail that is now wagging the dog. Additionally, if we do not narrow and focus our targeting to terrorist mind control cults, countries like India Pakistan, Israel, and others will copy our example of attacking other countries and our flawed war on the symptoms of terrorism and the result will be growing international loss for the business, our communities and an increasing threat of a new international war breaking out because our targeting was just too broad. In the more specific case of John Walker; we also have to ask ourselves whether Walker's rush to "justice" is a scapegoat for our current inability to capture and produce Osama Ben Laden or any of the real leaders of the Al Qaida network? It seems like the government is so desperate to show the US public some tangible "War on Terrorism" legal results that it is willing to take a confession from an individual who, by all the CNN film shown, was obviously incapacitated and not adequately aware or independently rational enough to make responsible decisions concerning his Miranda or other legal rights --- not even mentioning that we denied him his constitutional right to have a lawyer represent him. When the scientifically, morally and legally worthless Walker confessions were obtained by FBI agents was it the FBI's response to the demands of political expediency, desperation on our lack of war on terrorism results and not common sense or the FBI's lessons from their Waco cult fiasco. The FBI already knows from Waco that cult members like Walker need to be de-programmed and have time to recover their senses before pushed or their mind controlled and other debilitated vulnerabilities can be easily exploited… We have entered into the first decade of the new millennium of mind control and terrorist cults. We can meet the challenge if we simultaneously address real causes while we prevent the symptoms. What can you do to make America and the world safer from terrorism: 1. Redistribute this editorial to newspapers, magazines, ezines and Internet newsgroups as applicable all over the world to help spur public debate and corrective action from those who should have already handled these issues. 2. Learn more about mind control and the dynamics of destructive cults. (See the mind control and cult links below.) 3.
