Cults, Ritual Abuse, and Mind Control
Exploring the Role of Cults in Ritual Abuse and Mind Control

"When you find the same highly esoteric information in different states from Florida to California and from different countries, you start to get an idea that there's something going on that is very large and very well coordinated. So I have gone from someone not knowing what to think about it all to someone who clearly believes ritual abuse is real... I [have had] concern because of personal threats. I finally decided to hell with them. If they're going to kill me, they're going to kill me. It's time to share more information with therapists."
   ~~  Prof. D. Corydon Hammond in landmark lecture on role of cults in ritual abuse, mind control

Dear friends,

Cults, Ritual Abuse, Mind Control.

The revealing essay below on the role of cults in ritual abuse and mind control consists of key excerpts from a courageous, landmark lecture by psychologist D. Corydon Hammond, a respected professor and author of many key books. A PEERS board member was present and greatly appreciated this powerful presentation given in 1992.

In this revealing talk, Dr. Hammond took great personal risk in presenting extensive research into ritual abuse being carried out by a system of cults around the world. If you doubt that such a system exists, watch the powerfully revealing Discovery Channel documentary Conspiracy of Silence.

These highly secretive cults appear to be intent upon gaining as much control over our world as possible through developing an army of Manchurian Candidates which have infiltrated many aspects of government.

Due to intense threats, Dr. Hammond stopped speaking about this topic shortly after this speech and has remained quiet since. Yet the speech continues to be highly regarded among many therapists who deal with these issues. Please help to spread the word to those who would benefit from this powerful information. And don't miss the excellent suggestions in the "What you can do" box at the bottom of this article.

With best wishes for a brighter future,
Fred Burks for PEERS and WantToKnow.info

Note: I managed to reach Dr. Hammond by phone. He refused to talk about this speech. I have little doubt he's been threatened. To read the highly revealing full transcript of this speech, click here.

Cults, Ritual Abuse and Mind Control
Key Excerpts from Dr. Hammond's Talk

I hope to spend an hour or so talking specifically about ritual abuse, mind control programming and brainwashing – how it's done and how to get on the inside. This is a topic that in the past I haven't been willing to speak about publicly. I have done that in small groups and in consultations, but recently decided that it was high time that somebody started doing it.

[Early on] I picked out about a dozen and a half therapists that I thought were seeing more ritual abuse than anyone else, and I started surveying them. Those therapists said, "You're asking more specific questions than I've ever asked my patients." Many of them not only got back with answers, but said, "You've got to talk to this patient or these two patients." As a result, I ended up doing hundreds of dollars worth of telephone interviewing.

I came out of that with a grasp of a variety of brainwashing methods being used all over the country. I started to hear some similarities. Whereas to begin with, I hadn't known how widespread things were, I was now getting a feeling that there were a lot of people reporting some similar things, and that there must be some degree of communication to cause this.

When you find the same highly esoteric information in different states from Florida to California and from different countries, you start to get an idea that there's something going on that is very large and very well coordinated. So I have gone from someone not knowing what to think about it all to someone who clearly believes ritual abuse is real.

For a long time I would give information to a select group of therapists that I knew and trusted, and say, "Spread it out. Don't spread my name. But here's some information. If you find it's on target, share it with other therapists, and I'd appreciate your feedback." People were hungry for information. Later, I and a few others that I'd shared it with were hedging out of concern because of personal threats and death threats. I finally decided to hell with them. If they're going to kill me, they're going to kill me. It's time to share more information with therapists.

Here's where the ritual abuse appears to have come from. Near the end of World War II, Allen Dulles [later to become Director of the CIA] and other people from our intelligence community were in Switzerland making contact to get out Nazi scientists. As World War II ended, they not only got out rocket scientists, but they also got out some Nazi doctors who had been doing mind control research in the concentration camps. They secretly brought them to the United States [through Project Paperclip].

Along with them was a young teenager who had been raised in a Hasidic Jewish tradition with a background of Cabalistic mysticism. That probably appealed to people in the cult, because by the turn of the century Aleister Crowley had been introducing Cabalism into Satanic stuff. Cabalistic mysticism is mixed into all this. I suspect it may have formed some bond between the boy and the Nazis. He saved his skin by collaborating and being an assistant to them in the death-camp experiments. They brought him with the Nazis to the US.

They started doing mind-control research for military intelligence in military hospitals in the United States. The people that came, the Nazi doctors, were Satanists. Subsequently, the boy changed his name, Americanized it some, obtained an M.D. degree, became a physician and continued this work that appears to be at the center of cult programming today. His name is known to patients throughout the country. Dr. Greenbaum. I've had patients volunteer that there were parts inside named Mr. Greenbaum. It is also called "Green Programming."

The way you create Manchurian Candidates is you divide the mind. It's part of what the intelligence community wanted. If you're going to get an assassin, you divide the mind. Cases like the assassination of Robert Kennedy fascinate me. Bernard Diamond, on examining Sirhan Sirhan, found that he had total amnesia of the killing of Robert Kennedy. Yet under hypnosis he could remember it. But after he was out of hypnosis, he could not remember a thing, despite suggestions he would be able to consciously remember.

What they basically do in these programs is they get a child and start programming in basic forms, it appears, by about age two and a half, after the child's already been made dissociative. They'll make him dissociative not only through abuse, like sexual abuse, but also things like putting a mousetrap on their fingers and teaching the parents, "You do not go in until the child stops crying. Only then do you go in and remove it." They start in rudimentary forms at about age two and a half and kick into high gear, it appears, around six or six and a half. They continue through adolescence with periodic reinforcements in adulthood.

There's an identification code that people have. It will involve their birth date. It may involve places where they were programmed, and it will usually involve a number that will be their birth order, like zero-two if they were second born. It will usually also involve a number that represents the number of generations in the cult, if they are bloodlines. I've seen up to twelve now, twelve generations.

When you go below the alters (dissociated or split personalities), you then have programs Alpha, Beta, Delta, Theta, and so forth – the Greek-letter programming – and they will have backup programs. There will typically be an erasure code for the backups. Alphas appear to represent general programming; the first kind of things put in. Betas appear to be sexual programs, for example how to perform oral sex in a certain way, how to perform sex in rituals, or programming related to prostitution and producing and directing child pornography. Deltas are killers trained in how to kill in ceremonies. There will also be some self-harm stuff mixed in.

Gamma appears to be system protection and deception programming which will provide misinformation to you the therapist, try to misdirect you, tell you half-truths, and protect different things inside. Omega has to do with self-destruct programming. Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. This can include self-mutilation as well as suicide programming.

There can also be other Greek letters. I found, for example in one case, that Zeta had to do with the production of snuff films that this patient was involved with. With another person, Omicron had to do with their linkage and associations with drug smuggling and with the Mafia, big business, and government leaders. Some are come-home programs, "come back to the cult" programs.

One patient about eight years old had gone through a great deal of early programming which took place on a military installation. That's not uncommon. I've treated and been involved with cases who were part of this original mind control project, as well as having their programming on military installations in many cases.

This particular child was in a private cult school where several sessions occurred a week. She would be taken into a room to get all hooked up. She had electrodes placed on her; one in the vagina, four on the head. They would then begin by saying, "You are angry with someone in the group." She'd say, "No, I'm not," and they'd violently shock her. They would say the same thing until she complied and didn't make any negative response.

We found that [another patient] was having her therapy monitored every session by her mother (who was her programmer), out-of-state, over the telephone. She still had intact suggestions that had been given to her that at a certain future time she would kill her therapist. I know [other] patients who've gone to other states and simply had deep-level alters pick up the phone, call and say, "This is our new address and phone number," so that they could be picked up locally.

I wouldn't try to work with any kind of deep material or deprogramming with those being monitored, because I think it can do nothing but get them tortured unless they can get into a safe, secure inpatient unit for an extended period of time to do some of the work required. If they are in a cult from their area, and they are still being monitored and messed with, my own personal opinion is we can't get them well, and we can't offer anything more than humanitarian caring and supportiveness.

This type of programming will [often] be done in the cults. My impression is that this is simply done in people where they have great access to them, or where they're bloodline and so their parents are in it. Or they can be raised in it from an early age. If they are bloodline, they are the chosen generation. If not, they're expendable. They are expected to die and not get well. There will be booby traps set in your way such that if they aren't non-bloodline people, when they get well, they will kill themselves. Satanism shows up as the philosophy overriding all of this.

You'll find physicians heavily involved. The cults have encouraged their own to go to medical school, to prescribe drugs to take care of their own, to get access to medical technology, and to be above suspicion. There is a couple in Utah, in fact, who have been nailed now. We now have in Utah two full time ritual abuse investigators with statewide jurisdiction under the Attorney General's Office to do nothing but investigate this.

"What's the purpose of it?" My best guess is that they want an army of Manchurian Candidates, tens of thousands of mental robots who will do prostitution, child pornography, smuggle drugs, engage in international arms smuggling, do snuff films, and all sorts of other very lucrative things. These Manchurian Candidates will do the bidding of their masters, so that eventually the megalomaniacs at the top believe they can create a Satanic Order that will rule the world.

The evidence comes from victims who are imperiled witnesses. The interesting thing is how many people have described the same scenario and how many of these people that we have worked with who have had relatives in NASA, in the CIA, and in the military, including very high-ups in the military.

My personal opinion has come to be if they're going to kill me, they're going to kill me. There's going to be an awful lot of information that's been put away that will go to investigative reporters and multiple investigative agencies. If I ever have an accident, an awful lot of people like you, I hope, will be pushing for a very large-scale investigation. I think we have to stand up at some point as some kind of moral conscience.
