Was Jonestown a CIA medical experiment?

[Jan Klimkowski]

Thank you, Jan. I continue to find both your expertise and your generous sharing of it to be, well, extraordinary.

Charles - thank you. The respect is, of course, mutual.

The medical journals often reveal information whose importance only later becomes clear eg:

- foundation grants which reveal areas of covert interest when the foundation is later outed as a cutout. Eg research into trance and dissociative states is almost entirely spook-funded;

- location of researchers. For instance, I discovered that when a new, highly experimental, chemical form of sterilization was being moved (unethically) from rats to humans, one of the key field researchers was given a 2-year secondment to Indonesia under the military junta. No research papers were published, but local activists who I spoke with reported mobile military sterilization units travelling from village to village in areas of the worst represssion, such as East Timor. A few years later, a paper was written about the use of a revised chemical sterilizant in India and Bangladesh. Presumably the mutilated East Timorese women, with their chemically burnt fallopian tubes, were the first victims of the orignal chemical concoction. Their suffering preserved in covert human data sets, which could not be published in medical journals, but were known to the key players determined to develop and use chemical sterilzants on humans in field conditions;

- named authors on papers, and footnotes thanking fellow researchers, can also be important in establishing reserach nexuses. Who is speaking with whom? This is one of the key ways in which covert (deep black) research networks have been outed by investigative journalists. Cf symposia of scientists in a particular research area.
