  • Editorial Hello and welcome to the latest and greatest edition of NEXUS! I would like to extend a special welcome to all the new UK and European NEXUS rea_ders. We have just opened an-office in the UK for English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish readers, and also an office in The Netherlands servicing European countries. In faa, very soon we will be printing a European edition of NEXUS, as well as the current US and Australasian editions. I would like to make one point very clear, however: all the NEXUS editions are identical, except for some of the advertisements. There are lots ofgreat articles in this issue, a favourite in our office being the very colourful interview with Dr Levin, on the military links with medicine. Believe me, we've had to delete many expletives from this int~rview. _ -~-The other article which is generating much personal interest in our office is titled "Dental Health Secrets". It is well worth the read, especially if you are afraid of dentists! Other things in this issue which excite us are: the Waco video (you've just got to see this to believe it!) the new book out by David Childress called "Extraterrestrial Archaeologyl' (see article on page 35), and Part 2 of "The Terrorist Factory". Boy, we've had so many people wanting sneak previews ofparts 2 and 3 of this series. Now a few other things to mention: If you have a shop or clinic and you want to sell NEXUS, call us. This applies to any shop anywhere in Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada, UK, or Europe. We've got some great ideas for NEXUS T-shirt/bumper sticker designs and slogans, and we welcome your suggestions. Send all the material to our Australian office. IWe are also looking for an advertising sales person to service the USA and Canada. This person must be experienced in sales and be computer/modem-literate. Contact our Australian office for more information. And last, but not least, is our announcement of NEXUS Online! Yes, thanks to the many email replies to the last editorial, we are setting up NEXUS on the computer networks. This will provide access to anybody with a computer and modem. Amongst other things, you will now be able to subscribe to NEXUS electronically, i.e., every two months we will email NEXUS to subscribers over the networks. We will also be opening up discussion groups and making many of our information files available to those wishing to subcribe to NEXUS Online1 For more details, see our ad on page 15. In the meantime, happy reading!

  • Re: Rare Informationl Dear NEXUS, I recently came

    across your astounding Feb-Mar 1994 issue. I am very impressed with the rare information you have presented, and the 'high calibre of authOFs who contribute to your magazine. I am especially intrigued by the

    article on AIDS by Dr Robert Strecker, and the anicle on the Neurophone. What a terrific invention! I know of people who could really use an invention like that. As for Dr Strecker, he is doing the public a great favour of exposing the hidden 'truths' about AIDS. Very few people in the medical community have the courage to speak out on -AIDS, without fear of losing their jobs or being labelled a "homophobe". I thank you for your wonderful

    magazine. I purchase it whenever I can. If possible, I would like to see what guidelines you have for submitting articles. I would appreciate the opportunity to write an article forNEXOS. I thank you for your time and look

    forward to your immediate reply. Live long and prosper, E. R. W., San Diego, USA.

    Re: NWOI For Whom? Dear Sir, Are we really so stupid

    to think that we can maintain a world in which currently 30% of our population can look forward to more sewing machines, motor vehicles and vending machines, etc., that can talk LO us, plus computer shopping, more automatism ill a society saturated wi th deodorants and aftershave lotion, while the other 70% will continue to 'hope' for a better 'tomorrow' and, for some, a daily ration of clean water, equal to one flush of our modem toilet? Building one society based on

    unrestrained consumerism and computer chips may temporarily hide the facts for some, but cannot solve the problems our world faces today, e.g.:

    o Balkan War, Bosnia-Europe cannot afford too many killed, for humanitarian reasons? Not so. It is because it is bad for the European economy, upsets trade and reduces profit.

    o Gulf War-hypocrisy at its worst. Retaliation for invasion of Kuwait? Not so. It is to protect Europe's and USA's oil interestscould not allow Saddam Hussein 100 much power over petroleum produc-

    tion. A few dead, so what-less important than oil profits.

    o Somalia-there is no point in really helping to feed starving people; they have no money, so there is no profit. Imagine, though, if the same out

    standing effort and amazing organisation were used to provide fertiliser, seed, machinery, water pumps and relief food to keep at ~east some aJjve-as was usedl to transport that vast United National military force to the deserts of Kuwait? But then, of course, there would be no anns industry profit Should we not stop to reassess our

    values and realise what is really missing and what we appear to have lost in our One World village? I believe it is Truth and Social

    Responsibility. I also believe it will take time, tmst, faith, patience and an inordinate determination to put back that which is missing and lost. Mankind has the capacity for all

    these things. My hope is 'that we have the courage. Jim H., Goonengerry, NSW.

    Re: Everlasting Profits Dear Duncan, Regarding Ken

    McCaffery's letter in April-May '94 NEXUS, I remember my mother being given a pair of those same nylons during the war, made by Dupont. They soon discovered no one made money out of everlasting stockings because they were just that! So they lowered the quality (they did get rather rubbed up after a few years!). Re the overuse of antibiotics

    ('Global News'), people will at least have to start listening to Glen and Ian Dettman and Archie Kalokerinos's "Vitamin C: Nature's Miraculous Healing Missile", which you reviewed, and Irwin Stone's "Vitamin C: The Healing Factor". It really does work, without sideeffects. Yours sincerely, Pat c., Maldon, Vic.

    Re: Different Subjects Dear NEXUS, We have been II

    reading your magazine for a few years now and have all the Volume 2 mag~great collector's items. However, it would seem of late

    that we can hardly tell one magazine to the next-they seem to COver the same things over and over again. May I suggest a good dose of castor oil and some new subjects? Like the latest on crop circles and UFO activ

    ity, Mt Shasta, or anything else as long as, it's different, so shake thaL closet and see what falls out. By th.e way, wha.l happened to

    Volume 3? Volume 1 only went up to 10. Cheers, G. E., Apckland, NZ. (Dear G. E., ThanJcs for your lel

    ler. Your comments are no/ed, bUl we will Slick 10 our coverage of issues lhal lhe reSl of lhe media choose 10 ignore. Why nol buy one of lhe dozens of magazi-nes available already covering UFOs, crop circles and Ml Shas/a? Ed.) Re: Brown's Gas Dear Folks at NEXUS, A quick

    correction to O)1e point in the article by Toby Gro.lZ in your April-May issue, regarding YuU Brown and Brown's Gas. Brown's Gas, made from water,

    was said to melt tungsten, the element with the highest boiling point of all the elements. It will not just melt tungsten, it will boil it, or, more scientifically accurate, "sublimate" it, turning it from a solid into a gas, and instantly. In our world today, I find it incred

    ible that Yull Brown would have to be struggling along to promote this fantastic discovery of his, that investors would not be jumping at the chance to take part in a clean, brand new, proven technology that possesses a huge range of developmental applications ripe for the picking. We are working with Brown's Gas

    at Horizon Technology, and welcome any enquiries from individuals interested in an investment relationship to establish specific applications for it in the corporate arena. Kudos on your fine publication,

    and well be k.eeping in touch with you on results as they come along. Sincerely, Gary Hawkins Horizon Technology 2442 NW Market Street, #274 Seattle. WA 98107, USA.

    Re: Medical Malpractice Dear Duncan and Team, Attached

    is cheque for another year's subscription for your eye-opening and mind-expanding magazine. Having also purchased all your available previous publications of NEXUS, in me you have a captive reader. My concern is the mammoth task

    aheadl of us, the manipulated population, to try and rectify the wrong

    NB: Please keep let ; ..1' ters to approx.l00.150' ! words in length. Ed.

    being done Ito us by the big rpowerful corporations. I guess the best way , to start is to become informed, and each of us in our own small way follow our conscience, talki to our family, friends and people in our workplace. I particularly enjoy your book

    reviews and have purchased several of the books reviewed. "Male Practice" and "Confessions of a Medical Heretic" by MC!idekohn I found informative and most reassuring, confirming my own beliefs and jus.tifying my reasons for refusing to take HRT and any drugs. The more I read of "Male Practice", the madder I became at how women are manipulated by the medical profession playing on the emotive fears women have for their families. I strongly recommend that both male and female readers sho-uld get a copy of these books and read them. Sorry, I'm letting my feelings get in the way. In closing, I wish to inform you

    that] look forward to NEXUS lIIld would like to see publications monthly; however, I do realise that to maintain the q~ality and standards of your excellent magazine it requires time-so I curb my impatience by re-reading previou~ publications. Keep up the good work M. M., Badgingarra, WA.

    Re: Speed of Light Slowing? Dear Duncan, Some time ago I .

    was given a lend of a fascinating video Iby a Christian friend of mine. It was a well-documented and pr.esented case for the creationist viewpoinL The scientific lynchpin of the argument was the assertion that the speed of light is in fact in decay, i.e., slowing down. According to Dr Barry Setterfield

    of South Australia, the speed of light is not a constant 186,000 m.p.s. but actually slowing down on a universal scale. The ramifications of UJjs are enormous. Everything we are taught by 'experts' may be wrOng and misleading. According to the video, Dr Setterfield has submitted scientific papers with evidence of this and they have been accepted and published 'by respected scientific journals. Can any NEXUS readers verify

    these claims? If this claim regarding the speed of light is true, it would profoundly affect the hallowed fields of cosmology, archae-

    ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE GAINING ACCEPTANCE According to a recent colwnn

    in The Los Angeles Times, one in three Americans seeks alternative health care each year, to the tune of US$13.7 billion. A whopping US$10.3 billion was paid by consumers out of pocket without reimbursement by insurance providers, according to a recent study published in The New England Journal of Medicine. These 'unconventiollal thera

    pies', like acupuncture, naturopathy, herbs and massage, are used by people for chronic, not life-threatening illnesses. Eighty-three per cent had pre

    viously sought treatment from a medical doctor. American Western Life Insurance Co.

    based in Foster City, California, recently began offering coverage for alternative medical treatment. This is the first such insurance policy in the nation, but because of insurance industry regulations is presently avaibble only to consumers in California, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah. To address the lack of scientific swdies,

    the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) Office of Alternative Medicine plans to fund 20 preliminary research studies of unorthodox cures such as the use of shark cartilage to treat cancer, and bee pollen in treating allergies. (Sourc.e: WjldfireMag,azine, Winter 1993)

    SPANISH INVESTIGATION REVEALS GULF WAR BRIBES

    While conducting a detailed examination of financial records at Grupo Torras, a major holding corporation for Kuwaiti investments in Europe, Spanish authorities found hidden internal reports on the conduits used to pass around multimillion-dollar payoffs among top government figures in Washington and other Western capitals. Although he has ordered the newly dis

    Kuwait's covert subsidies. It is claimed that the ruling family

    of Kuwait handed out "at least US$300 million [in] political payments"-that is, bribes to US and . European leaders in order to enlist their support for the military intefvention against Iraq now known as Operation Desert Storm. The documentation unearthed by

    Spanish investigators has revealed that the European branch offices of two major US money in~titutions,

    Chemical Bank and Bankers Trust Corporation, were the main conduits for the manipulation of Kuwait's overseas funds. According to Spanish investiga

    tive journalist Franconero Belmonte, "the Spanish government has imposed a strict cover-up on its probe of Kuwait influence-buying".

    "In February it secretly sent two high-ranking officials to Washington to discuss how the scandal can be smothered without causing 'structural damage' to NATO."

    TOBACCO COMPANY SUPPRESSES RESEARCHI

    A leading tobacco company in the US knew in 1983 from its own research that nicotine is highly addictive. But the company blocked publication of a paper based on the research, setting back other scientists in the field at least six years, according to a US Congressman conducting hearings' into the addictiveness of nicotine. Henry Waxman, a Democrat from

    California, has released a draft of the paper which was submitted to the journal Psychopharmacology, but then withdrawn by its author, Victor DeNoble, at the insistence of Philip Morris, the tobacco company which employed him. This is the latest in the battle by the FDA

    (Food and Drug Administration) to have tobacco cl.assified 'as an addictive drug. As one veteran FDA observer comment

    ed recently, "It looks like the pharmaceutical drug companies are going for the market currently held by the tobacco companies!" This could certainly be the case. If the

    FDA is successful in classifying nicotine as an addictive drug, tobacco companies may end up handing over their products to pharmaceutical drug companies to sell under prescription.

  • Gt-$-BAl NEWS FDA PRIORITIES

    Following are four quotes which clearly indicate that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is more concerned with protecting certain drug companies' profits, rather than looking out for the interests of the American people.

    "It has become fashionable in some quarters to argue that women ought to be able to make [breast implant] decisions of their own. Ifmembers of our society were empowered to make their own decisions about the entire range of products for which the FDA has responsibility, however, the whole rationale for the agency would cease to exist."

    (Dr David! Kessler, FDA Commissioner, reported from The New England Journal of Medicine, in The Wall Street Journal, 24 June 1992.)

    "Pay careful attention to what is happening [with dietary supplementsl in the legislative arena ... if these efforts are successful, there could be created a class of products to compete with approved drugs that are subject to less regulation than approved drugs ... the establishment of a separate regulatory category for supplements could undercut exclusivity rights enjoyed by the holders of approved drug applications."

    . (David Adams, FDA Deputy Commissioner for Policy, before the Drug Information Association Annual General Meeting, 12 July 1993.)

    "...The task force considered many issues in its deliberations including; w ensure the existence of dietary supplements on the market does not act as a disincentive for drug development..."

    (FDA Dietary Supplement Task Force Report, released 15 June 1993.)

    "The American public does !!lot have the knowledge to make wise health care decisions... FDA is the arbiter of truth... Trust us. We win tell you what's good for you."

    (Dr David Kessler, fDA Commissioner, speaking on the Larry King Live television show, as reported in Well Being Journal, March-April 1994, and The Leading Edge, March 1994.)

    JAPAN BANS MEASLESMUMPS RUBELLA VACCINE

    The Japanese Ministry of Health and! Welfare decided in April 1993 to discontinue the use of the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine because of various problems associated with it.

    One of the interesting effects of this vaccine ban for children under two years of age is that cot deaths appear to have declined enormously since the ban.

    MYSTERY METEOR STRIKES EARTH

    On 1st February the Earth's atmosphere was penetrated by an object so large that it was detected by six US spy satellites and, according to some reports, led to President Clinton being woken by his Defence staff.

    The incident, which happened over the western Pacific, is being greeted with both excitement and concern by astronomers. They are delighted at the speed with which the Pentagon has decided to release the satellite data, but they are concerned that,

    VACCINE REACTION REPORTS CONTINUE TO INCREASE

    More than 17,000 adverse events following vaccination were reponed to the FDA fto have occurred in the US in a 20-month period ending in July 1992, including more than 2,000 serious reports and 360 deaths.

    However because the FDA estimates that only 10% of doctors repon adverse effects in the US, the real nwnbers could be as high as no,ooo adverse events including 20,000 serious injuries and 3,600 deaths associated with vaccinations. If you think the FDA is extravagant by multiplying the reponed

    figure by a factor of 10 times to arrive at more realistic figures, then consider that Connaught laboratories, a vaccine manufacturer, estimates a 50-ford under-reporting of adverse events!

    That implies 850,000 adverse events, including 100,000 serious injuries and 18,000 deaths associated with vaccinations over one 20-month period!

    despite their own growing awareness of the frequency of cosmic visitors, military advisers still seem unable to discriminate between incoming meteorites and nuclear explosions. . .

    Satellite data released so far has revealed that the object, p.resumably a meteor, turned into a glowing fireball as it entered the atmosphere, becoming almOs.t as bright as the Sun and releasing about 10 terajoules of lwninous energy in about Ohe second.

    The aerodynamic stresses caused by its entry into the atmosphere at an ~stimated

    speed of 72,000 kilometres per hour, caused it to explode about 20 kilometres above the sea, near the Pacific island of Tokelau.

    The proposed INOS system, estimated to be worth around NZ$80 million, is even more powerful than one being installed by New South Wales Police in Australia.

    The Australian system is able to crossreference names, places and dates, and identify "persons of interest" in, a street or locality where a crime has been committed.

    "Persons of interest" include anyone who has a criminal history, a warrant out against them, is the subject of 'an intelligence report or a domestic violence order, holds a gun licence, has a history of mental illness, is a crime victim or a crime suspect.

    Basically, this means ,that when the NSW police vjsit a crime scene, they can flash up on their computer everyone iliving in that district who is on their already substantially cross-referenced files. (Source: Sunday Star Time~ (NZ), 10 April 1994)

    MOBILE SURVEIUANCE CAMERAS

    There recently appeared on Australian !television a documentary on the wonders of hidden video cameras. While the program did show several pos

    itive examples of hidden videos catching crooks and conupt politicians in the act, it wound up the show by saying, in effect, that video surveillance cameras are good, and only those with something to hide need worry about them.

    In other words, this was a blatant grab at convincing gullible TV watchers that hidden video surveillance cameras are good for them.

    Well, the next step in video surveillance has arrived.

    An Australian company, Trafalgar Security, has developed what it believes is

    8NEXUS

    the world's first robot security camera, able to roam, witho'l!J being seen, about buildings, quietly watching staff and others at work.

    Known as Tracam, it consists of a colour television camera that runs at up to 8 km per hour on a rail inside a dark perspex tunnel fixed to the ceiling.

    Although the camera can see through the perspex, it is almost impossible for anyone to see into the tunnel.

    By adding infrared sensors, the robot camera could follow people anywhere witbjp. a building.

    PlUS, an electronic card which can be anached to visitor passes is under development. The card would enablc the camera to find and pursue a particular person anywhere in a large office block or warehouse.

    About 80 Tracam systems are operating around the world. The first customer, British Post, began installing Tracam in

    ~992. It is suggested that employers could use

    the mobile cameras to observe staff re~ationships, who people talked to, and even monitor body language.

    several years ago in Australia we were presented with the Australia Card, an ID card that was rcjectw by the masses. We all went off to bed dutifully thinking ,that our ill card had been nailed. Not so!

    Australia has a de facto ID system, and the Medicare health care card we carry is an essentiaJ part of it.

    Now it seems that the same pattern is being adopted in overseas countries.

    The new Clinton propusal for the US health care system will issue every American with a Health Security card.

    Given ~he information that each card would carry, and die fact that virtually every single US citizen will be issued one, it is not surprising that US civil rights groups are voicing concern at possible misuse of the system.

  • Re: EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPHS IN AUSTRALIA

    Dear NEXUS, I was posted a section of your magazine

    containing ancient Egyptian hier_oglyphs found inscribed upon a rock in Australia [see NEXUS 2{19].

    I knew of an Egyptian expedition towards the directioJ1 of this land, under the leadership of Knem-Hotep. Knem-Ho.tep s_et sail with three ships

    under his command, and eventually returned to Egypt with only one ship and half a crew. What he described could only have been Australia, but this expeditioJ,l took place in Ithe second year of the King Nefer-Af-Re, which was ],,530 BC. The hieroglyphs carved OIl! ,the rock men

    tion King Khufu, who ruled Egypt from 2,779 to 2,748 BC, so would pre-date the expedition of Knem-Hotep. These carvings could not possibly be a

    hoax, as no one today would understand the peculiarities of the ancient Egyptian language of those times, Even I could nut understand the ancient

    saying, "My obelisk is overturned but not broken", as carved upon the rock. The rock teUs of a very tragic story, of

    men in a hopeless position in a strange and hostile land. Shipwrecked somewhere off the coast of Queensland, they make their way westward, perhaps to some prearranged spot by other members of the expedition who are exploring anonher

    region, or a main base where another ship is anchored and waiting. The leader of this expedition is named

    Nefer-Djeseb, along with his brother Nefer-Ru, who is some kind of priest from the House of dod. They carry with them a smaU statue of the god Suti, possibly called "Suti of the Way" (a protection for travellers). Nefer-Djeseb and Nefer-Ru ,are two of

    the many sons of King Khufu who, it is said, was beloved of Ptah (the god). His son goes on to describe him as "kind and benevolent, and a follower of the goldenhaired god, Ra-Heru". The journey is long and hard; the ordi

    nary members of the crew are wailing and crying out for Suti to help them in their plight. Nefer-Djeseb puts up a brave front for

    the benefit of his men, who are plagued by flies and mosquitoes, tired and hungry, and feel that the gods nave deserted them. Nefer-Djeseb prays to the gods and puts

    on a joyful face, making jokes as he swats the mossies. Nefer-Ru, a servant of ,the god, says that

    the god has brought the insects upon them (perhaps he feels that they have no right to be in this land). Nefer-Djeseb, reluctant to ask anything

    from the gods for himself ,as it perhaps would show a weakness to his men, cans out, "Protect the.se ordinary (fIen; they are thine (believers and followers of yours). I

    cool of the night. They hide ... buTying themselves out of reach of the ever-pestering mosquitoes. Nefer-Djeseb has seen flocks of birds,

    and he prays, "Send us fow~ to cook, and send some rain." Something happ.ens, possibly climbing

    some place and slipping, or there's a rockslide. Nefer-Djeseb, who is carrying the Royal Standard of the Golden Falcon, injures his back, and this is possibly where his brother Nefer-Ru gelS killed. This smaU band of men, heading west

    ward, are carrying the dead body of the priest Nefer-Ru with them unJll they can fmd a suitable burial place for him. Passing along through hot, dry, arid

    counlry or desett, with no prospect of any other food, Nefer-Djeseb calls out to the gods, "Give me desert mice, and let me find pools of water." Then he laments, 'The plants are withered, the land is dead (all is in drought). Is this my lot from the god of the sacred Mer (lRa-Harakate)?"

    ~eing of the royal house and protected, his skin is more sensitive to the sun than those Of the fellaheen, and in misery with his back inj!Lry and also bad sunburn, he complains, "The sun shines d'own upon my back. Oh Khepera, this is not as the oracle said." Before leaving Egypt he would have

    bathed in the holy waters of the Mer, and then gone to consult the oracle at Noph. The oracle had! most likely promised him a safe journey. Now, with his brother dead, and all facing death themselves, ,he IS disillusiolled and fu$1 of grief. He makes a statement of defiance to the effect that he is not brokeIl! yet: "My obelisk is overturned but not broken." At last they come Ito a place where they

    CIPl inter the body of his dead brother, and he says, "That royal person of the House of God, Nefer-Ru, son of Khufu, is laid to rest. May he have eternal life." When aI person left Egypt and then

    JUNE -JULY 1994

  • returned, they would gu and bathe in the holy waters of the sacred Mer. This was an act of thanks to the gods for a safe journey, and a thanks for all the benefits given to the land of Egypt-a kind of gratefulness at being home again. Nefer-Djeseb says, wShould I not go hack

    to the waters of the sacred Mer, then embrace my brother, oh father of the soul wil!hin the Earth ~Ra-Haralcate). Place his soul at thy side with love, oh holy one. He is not of this plaoe: his home is in the town of Penu. Return his spirit home again." The group of men have gathered some

    wild fruits which were growing round about. Nefer-Djeseb takes one-third of these meagre rations and places them beside the body of his dead brother. It is not much, but the spirit within the food will be enough to nourish his brother in his journey into the afterlife, and Nefer-Djeseb prays, "Let not worms eat this fruit nor the body of my brother." This tragic message was written out

    4,750 years ago. There is more to this message which is not yet deciphered. Leis hope that this gallant little band of men eventually made their way back to their beloved homeland, or perhaps were rescued and settled down with the natives of the land. Nefer-Djeseb, as one of the explorers of

    this land,. has earned and deserves a place in Australian history. Yours sincerely, Raymond Johnson.

    designing microchips in the Bio-Med field. In 1968 I became involved, almost by accident, in a research and development pro

    was senior engineer in charge of the project. This project culminated in the microchip that we talk about now-a microchip that I believe is going to be the positive identification and "the Mark of the Beast". This microchip is recharged by body temperature changes. Obviously you can't go in

    and have your battery ehanged every so often, so the microchip has a recharging circuit that changes based upon body temperature changes. Over one-and-a-haILmillion dollars was spent finding out that the two places in the body that the temperature changes the mos~ rapidly are in the forehead (primary position), right below the hairline, and the back of the hand (alternative position). Working on the microchip, we had no idea about it even being an identification chip.

    We looked at it as being a very humanitarian thing to do. We were all excited about what we were doing. We were doing high-level integration for the very first rime. This team was made up

    of people out of San Jose, people out of Motorola, General Electric, Boston Medical Center-it was quite a group of people. My responsibility had to do with the design of the chip itself, not the medical side of

    it. As the chip began to evolve, there came a time in the project when they said that the

    fmancial return on bypassing severed spines is not a very lucrative thing for us to be into, so we really need to look at some other areas. We noticed that'lbe frequency of the chip had a great effect upon behaviour and so we began to branch off and look possibly at behaviour modification. The project almost turned into electronic acupuncture because what they ended up

    with was embedding a microchip to put out a signal which affected cert.ain areas. They were able to deten'iline that you could cause a behavioural change. One of the projects was called the Phoenix Project which had to do with Vietnam

    veterans. We had a chip that we called the Rambo Chip. This chip would actually cause extra adrenaline flow. I wonder how many of you know that if you can stop the OUtput of the pituitary gland

    (the signal from the pituitary gland that causes oestrogen flow), you can put a person into instant menopause and there is no conception. This was tested in India and other different parts of the world. So here you have got a birth control tool, based on a microchip. Microchips can also be used for migraine headaches, behaviour modification, as

    upper/downer, sexual stimulant and sexual depressant. This is nothing more than electronic aeupWlcture, foiks!

  • (Editor's Note: The fallowing extract isfrom n, B1wner.{eld$dl,tcation Lmer and is an excellent description afwhat is on the videp, Waco' The Big Lie.)

    T~ -he fust part of the video presents infonnation 'about the Branch Davidians which seems to contradict w1lat the media have wId us about them. The media gave the impression that the Branch Davidians were a bunch of suicidal apocalyptic psychopaths. The Thompson video shows them as pretty nonnal human beings. seriously devoted to a charismatic teacher, Hving peacefully in communal style at their Mt Carmel centre. The sect, founded in 1935, is an offshoot of the Seventh Day Adventist church. There have been many such unorthodox religious sects 'and communities in America, none of whicb have ever suffered a military-style assault by the US government But what drew the ire of the federal government to the Branch Davidians was the facJ

    that they bought and sold guns, which is perfectly legal. Buying and selling guns in Texas and elsewhere is one way in which marry people earn money. None of the Branch Davidians had been convicted of a violation of any of the gun laws on the statute books. The second part of the video deals with the legal preparations made by the government

    to justify its planned assault on the Branch Davidians' compound. Mrs Thompson points out the blatant irregularities in the search warrant issued by the federal judge. THE FIRST ASSAULT The ,third part ,shows the unprovoked military assault on the Branch Davidians on

    Sunday morning, 28th February 1993. ATF troops are shown firing at the front of the compound with automatic weapons with no fire being returned. In addition, it shows three helicop.ters flying overhead. It then shows two teams of A1F men in black uniforms at the side of the house with automatic weapons climbing onto the first-floor roof by ladders. The group aLthe right is comprised of four men, three of whom smash their way into a second-floor window after throwing a smoke grenade into the room:. The fourth man OIl! the roof is lying prone with a machine gun. covering his buddies as they enter the building. No one is fu:ing at them. The fourth man then goes to the window and throws a grenade into the room his buddies have just entered!. He then fires the machine gun into the room. Why is he firing at his own men? As he fues into the room, we see three shots fued from inside the room piercing the outside wall. Did those shots come from the three ATF agents in the room who realised they were being shot at from the outside? Undaunted, the fourth man then rues into the room once more. A bulfet hits his helmet and the impact knocks him down, but he is unhurt. He scurries to the edge of the roof and quickly goes down the ladder to the ground. Who is that fourth man, and why did he fire into the room where he knew his. own men

    had entered? We are told that the ATF had rehearsed the attack over and over again. Had that fourth man been given special instructions? The three men who had entered that room were the three men killed in the assault'l and they have all been identified as Bill Clinton's bodyguards during the election campaign. Why was an investigation not made into the circumstaRccs of the deaths of the three

    ATF agents? Why was the blame immediately placed on the Branch Davidians wlto suffered six deaths in the assault? The circumstances of the death of the fourth ATF man have never been satisfactorily explained. Supposedly he was killed before the shooting even started. Was it an accident? But if it is triie that one or more of the agents were

    16NEXUS JUNE-JULY 1994

  • actually killed by the Branch Davidians, it should be noted that the attack by the ATF was unprovoked and unconstitutional. How can the government justify shooting its way into the house of a suspect, endangering the lives of over 80 innocent men, women and children who were in Ithe building at the time? No one in that house had! been convicted of a crime. The ATF spent months planning the attack. Was any attempt

    ever made to peacefully serve a search warrant? Who gave the authorisation to use deadly force before any attempt had been made for peaceful entry into the compound? The failure of the government's attack was attributed to the

    superior fire power of the Branch Davidians. Yet, the Branch Davidians suffered much higher casualties than the ATF. and thcre is good reason to Ibelieve that the ATf men in the building were killed by their own man on the roof. The whole episode cries out for a full, open Congressional

    investigation. But that's only the beginning. ISOLATING THE VICTIMS The fourth part of the video deals with the

    51-day period between the two assaults. After the failure of the initial attack, the Al'F and the FBI then engaged in psyc.hQlogical warfare against the hapless inhabitants of the compound. All of their utilities were shut off, their only communication with the outside world was through the ATF. Even close relatives on the outside were nut pennined communication with their loved ones inside the compound. Why not? Was the ATF afraid that those in the compoundl might reveal what actually happened during that attack? And why didn't the press complain about not being perfilned to communicate iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii~

    with the Davidians inside thc compound? At night the ATF played ear-splitting rccordings o~ rabbits

    being slaughtered, Tibetan monks chanting, and Nancy Sinatra singing: "Th-ese boots were made for walking ... they're gonna walk allover you." Also, the building was floodlit with stadium lights during the night to keep the inhabitants awake. What kind of psychological advantage the government hoped to gain by these crude and ludicrous techniques has not been explained. But it would be interesting to listen to the ATF and FBI psychos explain before a Congressional committee where they, picked up these techniques of torment. From unemployed communist brainwashers? Also. a Branch Davidian who had been an work in town during

    the attack and wanted to get back into the building to be with his loved ones was shot to death by the ATF as he was climbing over the fence. Obviously, if the man had been out of the compound during the raid, he could! not have been guilr.y of any crime against the ATF. Nevertheless, the ATF executed him on the spot. Not since the Nazi occupation of Europe were innocent people subjected to such stark, lawless atrocities at the hands of government as those in Waco. It is also now known that the ATF and the FBI used the latesn

    technology which permitted them to actually see and hear every~

    thing going on in the compound. The whole sordid operation was based on the unwarranted assumption that everyone in that compound. including the children, were enemies of the United States and that the only way out of their predicament was unconditional surrender. Yet, no one in that building had been convicted of a crime!

    JUNE - JULY 1994

    THE FINAL SOLUTION The fIfth part of the video deals withl the fmal assault that led to

    the total destruction of the compound! Iby fire and the death of virtually everyone inside. We do not know how the final assault was planned. But we do know that the plan was approved by President Clinton and his Attorney General, Janet Reno. The plan, as advertised to the public, was to use tanks with

    extended anns to punch holes in the walls of the compound, pump CS gas into the building, and force the people inside to come out with their hands up. Janet Reno justified the use of these methods in order to "save the children". Of course, had she really been interested in saving the children, she would have simply called off the entire military operation and permitted anyone who wanted to leave the compound to do so unhanned. That would have been the humane and sensible thing to do. It is wiser to let the guilty go free if that's what it takes to save the innocent. But she was IS.O intent Ion capturing the alleged killers of the ATfagents, that she was unwilling to spare the 85 innoc.ent men, women and children in that building. If she was so intent on bringing the killer or killers of the ATF agents to justice, why didn't she start by questioning the ATF man who fired into the room where his buddies. Clinton's iformcr bodyguards, were? What the Thompson video shows is that thc plan as dcs.crihed to

    the American people on television was quite different from what actually happened on that tragic day, 19th April 1993, beginning

  • LIES FROM THE MEDIA

    What is mcrst disturbing about this entire Waco episode is the utter complicity of the media in characterising Koresh and his followers as suicidal apocalyptic psychopaths. For example, Steven V. Roberts, a senior writer a~ US News &

    World Report, wrote the foHowing commentary in its 3 May 1993 issue: "Waco and Bosnia. David Koresh . ... .'

    and Siobodan Milosevic. One driven"'"'' .w . , 1..1- uu.C. "'u''!''~. .. . .. ,.A,,,., by religious zeal, the other by nationalist bloodlust. But these two places, and these two men, present civilised people with basically the same question: How does society deal with a messianic personality who resists all attempts at persuasion and pressure?" How? In a country that believes in

    religious freedom, you leave him and his foIrowers alone, all 85 of them. That's how. Koresh represented no danger to anyone. The government's suspic,ions of illegalities were simply that. Suspicions founded .on hearsay, ''''''. :co. y," .. ":C.".:' ..

The question the writer should ask is how does an individual protect himself from false witnesses when the government has decided that it is out taget you? Mr Roberts continues: "As President Clinton put it, after Koresh and his followers

    burned themselves at the stake of Ranch Apocalypse, 'There is unfortunately a rise of this sort of fanaticism all across the world. We may have to confront it again.''' Whose fanaticism was more dangerous: the ATF's fanatic

    detennination to get its man no matter the cost, or Xoresh's belief in his own religious calling? The latteli claimed the loyalty of about no people, while the former represents a gross perversion of the American legal system. Were the technical gun violations the Branch Davidians were accused of worth the 8.5 lives d'estroyed by the government's relentless and merciless pursuit after an eccentric religious visionary? Why didn't the writer in US News question the government's wisdom and/or legality in Waco? He writes: "The most painful question is this: To stop insanity, do civilised NEW VIDEO fROM NEXUS

    people have to boe.come insane themselves? Do they ultimately have to kill and maim in order to thwart a greater evil? Finally, in WACO: The ,Big LieWaea, the patience broke, and the result was tragedy." Obviously, the writer in US News hasn't the slightest idea how (includes The Big Lie - Part 2)

    to teU fact from fiction. Was it "civilised" to attack a compound (2hrs IPAL VHS)of 85 men, women and children with helicopters and automatic

    (Editor's Note: T'his edited interview with dentist Dr Robert O. Nara was originally published in the March-April 1979 issue ofThe Mother Earth News. Followinglhilf tnterview extract, we have presented information takenfrom his newsletters of the mid-1980s.) PLOWBOY: Dr Nara, your ideas about preventive dentistry have, sp far, cost you

    your licence to practise, gotten you kicked out of the county, state and national dental organisations, and foreed you to face criminal charges. I know this situation didn't develop overnight, so why don't we begin at the beginning? Can yOU tell me about your training and professional background? iNARA: Of course. I took my undergraduate degree at Michigan State University, in

    East Lansing, Michigan, in 1955. Immediately thereafter, i enrolled in the University of Michigan's denJal school. After graduation, I served in the Navy for two years, during which time I practised dentistry at the Pacific missile ,range headquarters in California. I returned to Houghton, Michigan, when my hitch was up and set myself up in private practice in 1961. PLOWBOY: How did it happen that your work turned toward preventive, rather than

    reparative, dentistry? NARA: Well, first of all, I was taught enough microbiology, oral physiology and bio

    chemistry in dental school to get a pretty fair understanding of the processes that contribute to dental disease. This 'medical' material, however, was presented to us in a rather hit-or-miss pattern, with bits of infonnation dribbling in during one class or another. What my schooling really prepared me for, however~andi what any student in dental

    school is actually trained to do-was mechanics: drilling and filling. PLOWBOY: Don't the dental schools encourage preventive care? NARA: No, they don't encourage it at all! And there's another factor that contributes

    to the lack of preventive dentistry in the United States, too. You see, most young dentists upon graduation have a very substantial educational debt to take care of. Then, in order to get a practice started, these men and! women qave to go out and bqy more than $50,000 worth of equipment! So there is, as you can see, tremendous pressure put upon the beginning dentist to get going and bring in some money. I believe that many of these people would like to be able to stan their practices by teaching folks how to clean their mouths, but the simple truth is that the big money is in reparative work. So, the new dentist-who, as I've said, is really under the economic gun-puts off his or her ideas about prevention until after the bills are paid, and once that pattern is established, it never really gets broken. PLOWBOY: Can you be more specific about that 'pattern'? NARA: Certainly. You see, after a beginning practitioner has become convinced that

    mechanical repair is the only way to get out of debt, he or she will usually spend a long period of time doing little else. Now, reparative dentistry is, for the most part, dull, tedious, and=in aU rbut a fmanciall sense unrewarding work. It doesn't take much of 'this. sort of drudgery to kill off any idealism that might have motivated the dentist to !try prevention in the first place. It seems that many of these doctors eventually come to regard dental health from the

    same frame of reference as most of tfie American public does: that dental disease is inevitable and that everyone will lose his or her teeth sooner or later. Naturally, once this attitude takes over-and it may be a 'gut feeling' that's never actually spoken about or even consciously thought-the dentist begins to feel that prevention is a waste of time, and so the status quo perpetuates itself.

    JUNE - JULY 1994

  • PLOWBOY: But this common attitude didn't keep you from practising preventive therapy? NARA: No, it didn't, and 1 think there are several reasons why

    1 was able to maintain my interest in prevention. For one thing, I'm a pretty stubborn individual. For another, 1 dislike even trying to treat a mouth that isn't clean. [mean, why go through the time and effort necessary to really remove d~ay and place nice fillings when you know~because the mouth itself is not being cared for-that the new work is going to be decayed all around its margins in six months or a year? There's simply not much job satisfaction in enlarging the same filling, time after time, until the tooth has to come out So, early in my practice I tried to put together a plan that would

    motivate my patients, to ihelp'H HH'HHHH.' . them establish an eff.ective oral .... L ~,L. . ...c., .. '.. . ..... .~..L< hygiene program. I failed miserably-as 1 should Ihave known I would because nobody wanted to listen. My patients at that time shared

    the common attitude: "Come on, Doc, just get that tooth filled, or gel this one pulled, and let me out of here." Because most folks don't want to spend any more time than is absolutely necessary in a dentist's office, they want to get away from that chair and away from those drills as quickly as possible. PLOWBOY: How did you

    manage to communicate the necessary information to your patients, then? NARA: Well, I knew that most people avoid the dentist's office

    until they need work done usually either a filling or an extraction. And people rin pain aren't likely to be receptive to a cute story about preventing the disease. So, 1 had to design a system that would penetrate, first, the preoccupation with money worries and physical discomfort that most folks bring to the office with them. And I also had to figure out a way to change the preconception that nothing can be done about tooth decay and gum disease anyway. With all of these cards stacked against me, 1 knew that] needed

    a very effective psychological delivery system. So, I spent a lot of time thinking about it, saying to myself, "How can 1do this?" My goal was to stop disease, and I was sure that I could stop

    it enables me to get the patients to cooperate, to ~e the control of their own oral environment into their own h.ands. And the system works! PLOWBOY: But as soon as you started practising this form of

    prevention, you began to encounter resistance from the dental establishment When did tthe first signs of your coming 'war' with organised dentistry show up? NARA: I began working, in 1968,lto bring about some changes

    in the outmoded dental laws that still exist in much of die US. At that point iI was mainly concerned with setting up a system ,that would help the dentist to be more effective in his or her job. Part 0f the problem, as I saw it, was that most dentists simply didn't have the time to handle health education effec,tively. I felt that

    THE FACTS Carefully examine Figure I. It shows a

    cross section of a tooth. The spongy looking material is the suppofltive bone that holds our teeth in place. The bone on the left of the tooth is shown as normal, on the right side it has deteriorated because of gum disease. The gum tissue covers the bone and a thin layer of tissue fibres surround the tooth and attach the tooth to the bone (a velcro-like attachment). Early in life, when the teeth first grow

    into our mouths, a small crevice exists between the tooth and the gum tissue. In the healthy condition this crevice is about one mi~limetre deep. Figure I shows an instrument c.alled a pocket marker, inserted into the left-side crevice. The crevice on this side shows to be two ItO three millimetres deep, This condition is already unhealthy because bacterial waste products are causing inflammation of the Itissue. This leads to infection and deep bone deterioration. This condition is shown on the ' right side of the tooth in Figure ~, The depth of the crevice or pocket on this side is seven or eight millimetres. This depth of pocket formation and bone loss is very severe, and if no~ arrested very soon will! undoubtedly cause the tooth to be lost. For many years dentists have been telling the public to brush

    twice a day, floss once a day, see them for scraping of the teeth every six months and everything will be all right. Millions of Americans have been following these orders, only to be told after a few years that NOW they have gum disease and need to see a gum speciali.st for surgery. This means cutting away the diseased gums so the process can start all over again. This is a painful, expensive, merry-go-round that leads to false teeth. This whole "personal and national tragedy" continues for only one reason: it's very profitable to 'the dental profession. A well-known Michigan gum specialist has bragged for years that he makes over a million dollars a year on gum surgery and related treatments. Since the automobile industry has instigated such elaborate dental insurance, his 'take' must have doubled or tripled by now! The irony of the whole situation is that if armed with the right ~owledge and iLmotivated to take action, with the proper instru

    ments anyone can simply rid the mouth of the offending microscopic little bastards. An enthusiastic user of these methods recently wrote: "They told me my pockets would have to be cut out, but they hea'l'ed up by themselves."

    It's very simple: .the mouth routinely harbours about 300 different varieties of bacteria. However, it has been scientifically proven that the troublemakers are spirochetes, motile rods and cocci. Reduce these ,,.----l~

    'nasty' bugs below certain levels and THE BODY HEALS ITSELF! Once a person realises how easy it is to

    understand the cause of gum disease, a little additional thinking then allows one' to understand the decay process. The same mechanism applies here, only here it's the acid part of the toxic waste produets that eats holes in the teeth. The notches that 'many people have at the necks of some teeth are almost always caused by a buildup of toxic waste products below the gum line before the gums recede. Dentists always want to blame the patients for improper toothbrushing. That's not true. The notches and the receding gums are both

    - ... -- - n!" 1 caused by the same problem.

    , THE SOLUTIONI

    The bottom line on the problem of gum disease is simply that the neck of the tooth is not given proper attention. Dentists are directly to blame because they concentrate all of their efforts on the crowns of the teeth: they fill them, inlay them, bridge them, etc. That's where the big money is! Therefore the public never learns that the main 'trouble spot' is the crevice at the neck of the tooth. The solution lies in cleans.ing this crevice of the ilOxic waste products from harmful bacteria. Early in life this can be accomplished with a toothbrush and

    "Clean-Between", plus a device to flush out the crevice. Figure 2 shows a diagram of how this is easily accomplished. If some gum disease has set in so the crevice is rapidly becoming a crevasse,' then a "Special Tip" is required. The Special Tip squirts a stream of salt water that is much more directional than the ordinary tips. If the disease is even more advanced, then more sophisticated tips and methods and 'therapeutic rinses may be necessary. These stages of the disease and the corresponding treatment tips are illustrated in Figures 3 and 4. An enfarged view of the side-port tip is shown in Figure 5.

    (Ediwr's Note: Claire W. Gilbert, PhD., Publisher ofBlazia~ Tat(lCA newsletter, conducted this interview with Alan S. Levin, M.D:, a brave medico an.d self-declared "quack". Dr Levin provides a rare insider's view and courageously speaks 'on the record'. This interview is a unique dDcument, clarifying some of the past few decades' little-known and little-understood bouts ofmilitary and medical madness.

    FOR THE RECORD... Levin (L): You have my permission to use anything I say as long as you don't Uike

    what I say oU! of context. I won't deny anything I say. I don't have any problem backing up everything I say. We were discussing corruption in medicine.

    Gilbert (G): The question I asked you is why do you refer to yourself as a "quack"? L: Ifyou look behind me you can see the coffee cup that the marines gave me. G: Oh, so you've been called "quack". L: r used to be called "Killer Quack". I used to work for Bechtel and Hughes people in

    covert operations. I was in the Marine Corps coven operations in Laos, Thailand and Vietnam.

    G: Can you cijscuss anything about the covert _operations or were you sworn to secrecy?

    L: No, I'm not sworn to anything because it was a chao.tic situation where they just kind of forced conscripts into working for them. No, I've written about it. Say, are we talking about medicine now, or do you want to talk about coven operations?

    G: I was interested in the Gulf War. That was my original reason for coming. I wanted to ask you about the vets. You were written up in the newspaper for treating the vets, but when you mention 'Bechtel I have my own ideas about their influence in the Gulf War.

    L: Right. G: And the lighting of the oil well fires. In one or two of my issues there are articles

    suggesting that our side might have ignited the fues. L: Oh, I don't know that that's true or not. G: Well, Bechtel got the contracts [for rebuilding Kuwait], so when you said "Bechtel"~whoosh!

    L: Well, to put it sort of succinctly, Bechtel has been ,influencing this country since 1963-and influencing prior to that, I would imagine. But it became a major, if not ~

    major influence in, ~s country in 1963, after President Kennedy was assassinated. At that tim-e, there is very good, solid evidence that the CIA was involved [in the assassination] and Ithe Chief ,of the CIA at that time was John McCone, who was one of the founders of Bechtel.

    Shortly thereafter, Bechtel got a contract to build Cam Ranh Bay, which was like US$12 billion (US$12,OOO,000,000). It would have been very disadvantageous economically for Bechtel if the Vietnam War sort of went away. So, it was very 'good' business judgment to do what Bechtel did. So, the same is true for the Gulf War. It was good for business. Let me go through this.

    The primary purpose of the American military is to consume the products of the contractors. Combat efficacy is a secondary consideration and, in fact, in most cases it is bad for business. And the Gulf War was different only because the United States had a vested interest lin winning. Additionally, technically, they were very, very much helped, if not

    completely controlled by the Israelis, so they had competent military leadership to run the military operation and they had a vested interest in winning, and 'therefore that's why we had the outcome we had.

    the American Military is grossly incompetent, run by cowards, and poorly equipped. Gilbcrt and Sullivan would have a wonderful time with the American Military.

    In order to be promoted in the American Military you have to know the right people and do the right things and avoid combat. I'll tell you that right upfront. In th.e main, the academies- West Point, Annapolis and the Air Force Academy-teach people how to avoid combat. So if you get into ,combat, you are really a bad politician; you don't know how to deal with it right. Clearly, if you kind of peek your eye into combat and get yourself a Silver Star or something, that's fllle-like Lyndon Johnson did. But to be in there on a regular basis, that is, as a "grunt", means you don't know very much about how to get out of it.

    G: Tell me about your experience in Vietnam and how you first figured out the connection between the military lndu-.Stry, the drug industry and medicine. I mean, how did you get to be a "quack"?

    L: Well, it's a long story and I wrote a book on it, though it hasn't been published at all. I started out, kind of, as a very naive person. I was an academic superstar, and I always thought that I wanted Ito learn to fly. I wanted to fly, as you can see here in this office.

    G: I saw the aviation magazines in your waiting-room.

    L: I love airplanes. Anyway, so when I was in college I dropped out to go to the Nav'al Air Cadet Program, and, you know, everyone said: "Why is a nice Jewish lboy doing that?" And they talked me into going !back to college. It was 1965. 1 got drafted. At that point they had the Berry Plan. Basically ,this was that the medical students wouM commit themselves to a branch of the Military-Army, Navy, Air Force-and, in exchange for that commit

    Harvard Medical School, my last year of medical seh.ool, and then as an intern, and then as a pre-doc fellDw and a post-doc fellow. So I was there whcn I got my draft notice, and everybody said: "Go to the National Institutes of Health and go to Walter Reed and do research in the service." And I thought.l knew better.

    G: The right career path? L: Right. And so I went to this Navy ,captain; I Walkedl into his

    office, told him my name and that's all I llad to tell him. He knew whcre I graduated, where I was, where all my friends were. The guy must have been a gellius, anyway. But he had all of us identified, because apparently there were just a few docs, maybe twelve hundred, who hadn't followed the Berry Plan, who just absolutely got axed.

    G: You mean because they neededidoctors? L: Yes, because they needed doctors because they were going

    to have a war. TIlis was before the Gulf of Tonkin incident. Obviously, as we now know-it was kind of like the bumirtg of the Reichstadt-they tooled up for the Vietnam War. They said, 'We need a war, and we'll have it in Victnam, and we have to fill these ranks before we decide to have the war because these guys may not want to come if we're having a war. So, in any case, even then I didn't know exactly what was going on.

    You know, he said: "Well, what do IYou want to do, son?" So I said: "I want to fly." He said: "Okay." And I said: "You Iknow, I like research." And he said: "Well, we have an astronaut

    program. Why don't you go ,into the astronaut program? We have slots. for doctors there."

    And I said: "Boy, that sounds great." And he said: "All right. All you have to

    do is sign on the do_tted line, and get your Navy wings, and we'll send you to the astronaut program."

    Well, to make a long story short, that didn'thappen.

    G: Ypu mean, you signed and they didn't ment, the branch of the Military would ~:;~:SiII ~""":""'P.",-= "W3l:'~~'?J.' ~H&.:;;; send you? allow the medical student to continue his or her postgraduate !training to a specialty, and then promised the physician that he or she would practise in that particular specialty.

    You know, we had a draft~therwise you would just get drafted and randomly get stuck in whatever part of the military that just happened tlO need doctors. So" it was a way of gUJlfanteeing your postgraduate education and delaying your draft time, and then also guaranteeing what you were going to do in the Military. For instance, if you were training in paediatrics you'd be in a paediatrics hospital, and if you were training in orthopaedic SJlrgery you'd be an orthopaedic surgeon ,instead of just a general medical officer.

    My philosophy was: "Just ignore them. Don't let them know who you are and maybe they'll just forget you." I called that 'The Levin Plan', That was the wrong thing to do because of what they were doing. They were planning on having a war. And I didn't know that.

    So when I got my draft notice, at that point I thought: "Gosh, this is my licence to sow my wild oats; I can go out and team to fly and nO one can complain, because I had no choice in the matter." Because I was supposed to be a professor at Harvard. I was at Harvard.

    G: Harvard Medical School? L: Yes, I went to the University of Illinois and then I went to

    L: That'S right. Ehad "the wrong stUff", G: Did they test you? L: No, no. When we got to carrier quals [qualifying tests for

    aircraft carrier duty], among other things, they just didn't like me. My personality was a bit irascible. For example, when we did the carrier qualifications in these little airplanes, the tradition is that they lct the wives aboard the USS Lexington while you do your carrier qual, and they wo_uldn't let my wife aboard because I was a reservist. They would only let the regulars' w~ves aboard. And so I called the Navy captain "a senile old bastard".

    G: Oh, great. L: Those were the kinds of things that didn',t make me pOllular

    among the Military folks. So I got my wings and they shipped me out to the Marine Corps. The funny part of it was, the truth of the matter was, that I didn't even know how to spell M-A-R-I-N-E. I didn't even know what the Marines were. All I knew was John Wayne.

    The only thing r thougi}t about the Navy was that I was gonna be floatiJ!g off: even if we had a war, the worst thing tha~ could happen was I'd be floating four or five miles off the CQast anell eating till:ee meals a day, having hot s.bowers and a wonderful time aboard an aircraft carrier. Anell that's the worst that could happen tome.

    G: When you were drafted you thought you were going in the

    Navy and they put you in the Marines... L: Yeah! G: And you thought you were going to be an astronaut. But On

    the phone you were telling me what actually happened when you were in Vietnam, how you figured out the purpose of the Military. L: Well, basrcally what happened then, as the bae.kgroun.d, I

    started out as a very naive person, but at least I was an adult-27, 28. I guess I was 26 when I was drafted. And I was fully trained. [ was basically an adult. It was not like I was a brainwashed Military automaton :or that I was a young, impressionable boy. I was really an adult. And! being "the wrong kind" of person, I was disposable. '

    L: Basically, it's a long story. In May of 1967-1 thinlc I've got the documentation on that-the Marines were issued a new combat weapon in the field. It turns out that that particular weapon was rejected by the Army prior to the time it was given to the Marines, and it was rejected because it doesn't work. To give you an eXaInple to back it up, the American Milit!\l)' is

    run by the people who know nothing about combat, because if you know about combat you don't get into any operational jam. You've got to be able to avoid combat. Eisenhower was the world's best clerk. So when they procure weapons for combat troops, they don't know what they need. A gun means a gun, and

    so they figure that John Wayne used a

  • L: Right. G: I mean, you went in naivc and you came out. .. L: Right. G: ...with a road map of how the Military works? L: Well, what happened then was thin at that point II just didn't

    understand what was going on. Why didn't they give these kids the M-I4 riDe? And I was the only doctor there that was processing the bodies. I mean, there was no medicine at all. You just gave morphine to the guys who couldn't make it, or, YGU know, just pronounced guys dead. You stuck them at the side of the runway and left them there, because you had to get the wounded out of there as fast las you could-the ones that were salvageable. So there was no real medicine there. And the nrst doctor that was there went goofy, and actually he's

    still-hc's a urologist, interestingly enough, in the East Bay-but he went kind of bonkers, so thcy shipped me in and I went bonkers, but he was smart and I wasn't. He kinda got shipped out of Ithe country and spent the rest of his time out of combat, and r just went in deeper because basicalfy I wanted to get killed. G: Come on. L: No, I'm not kidding. I did. G: Bec.ause you were bonkers you

    wanted to get killed, because, it was so horrible? L: Most guys will tell you that

    ex.actly. The biggest tragedy of the Vietnam vet is sJJJViving. No question, no doubt. In any case, I ran up to this colonel,

    and, you know, this was absolute chaos. You can't even begin to conceive of what it was like. G: No. L: I mean, you're talking about arms ,and legs and guts and shit

    on 'the floor and you're sloshing through clots of blood, and bodies coming in and out, and everybody is upset, and, you know, the biggest issue was that the weapon didn't work. And you're in a bunker, and there's shootipg going on, and it stinks like hen, and you're in there for thirty hours, you know, non-stop. You don't piss, you don'~ shit, you don't eat, you don'~ drink water. You just keep on going from one body to another. So, anyway, ,in the midst of this, I ran out to this colonel and I

    said: "Look, you gotta give these guys their M-14s back. The M16s are not working." So he looks at me and says, "Doc, you are too close to this." He says, 'Tm a Colonel, the Marine Corps is my Ilife, l'm an Academy graduate, I'm up for General>, I don'~ give a shit about these kids." So I saluted and said: "God bless America and f- you," and ran back again. I did that. Okay. Well, that got me crazy, obviously. But then,

    after that, about three or four months later, we were operating, and at that point I didn't know where we were operating. I knew we were operating out in the boanies, and who in the hell knows where Laos slarts and Vietnam ends. One of our operations was to cover this-"Air America"-and they were flying these helo, "ouriers in and out of these remote patches. Actualrfy, these airplanes would l.and and take off ,in twenty

    yards. They were amazing machines. Our squadron would fly gun support for them, killing those who tried to kill the guys that were flying, and nobody really paid a heck of a lot of attention to what was going on.

    So one of my friends, a very close friend', 'got ~t' and I had to go out and idcntify him, to see lif I could help him. There was no way I could help him-he was really gone. And it turns out he was in Laos, that he was mnning gun support and got hit, and Air America was running heroin, and I didn't know that. Everyone was laughing, and one said: "What do you think that Lady Bird Johnson does for a living?" One of the guys, an older guy, said: "We're running heroin.

    Our government." You know, he looked at me and said: "Kid, America was based on England, right? What the hell do you think that England did to build its empire? It sold opium. Why is that surprising to you?" I said: "01'1, okay." . Yeah, so we were running heroin. At that point I wem absoJu.te
