Untangling the Bizarre CIA Links to the Ground Zero Mosque

... At the arraignment in Criminal Court in Manhattan, an assistant distict attorney, Patrice Davis, described Miss Lang as ''a violent person'' who has no roots and travels around the country on buses.

When Judge Renee White set next Monday for the next hearing in the case, Miss Lang interrupted to say: ''Don't I get a chance to speak?'' Her further remarks were in too low a voice to be heard.

Miss Lang was not required to enter a plea at the arraignment to two counts of second-degree murder and the possesion of a dangerous weapon.

A court-appointed lawyer, Murray Bernstein, and a Legal Aid Society lawyer, Peter Quijano, did not request any psychiatric evaluation. Mr. Bernstein said later that ''there was no indication at this time that there is anything wrong with her mental faculties.''

According to police officials, Miss Lang, told detectives after her arrest that she arrived Monday morning at the Port Authority bus terminal in mid-Manhattan from Orlando, Fla. The police said she had bought a .38-caliber revolver for $115 at a gun store in Orlando last Thursday and used the weapon to shoot Mr. Deak, who was 80 years old, and Mrs. Lauder, 58.

Detectives said Miss Lang was under the delusion that she was a part-owner of Deak-Perera, the international foreign-exchange company that Mr. Deak had helped to found.

A Police Department spokesman, Alice T. McGillion, said Miss Lang gave vague motives when asked why she purportedly committed the slayings. ''She keeps going back and forth saying that she owned the company or that they owed her money,'' Miss McGillion said.

Miss McGillion said Miss Lang, when questioned by detectives, provided rambling descriptions of nomadic wanderings around the country, mainly by bus, and of having worked at odd jobs whenever she needed money.

The only job that the police could verify yesterday for Miss Lang was as a bingo clerk in 1979 and 1980 at Harrah's hotel and casino in Lake Tahoe, Nev., Miss McGillion said.

In her Harrah's job application, Miss Lang listed Seattle as her birthplace. She told detectives she was not married and has no close relatives.

Sergeant Franklin of the University of Washington Police Department said the campus police had numerous encounters with Miss Lang over charges of petty thefts and vagrancy from November 1982 until last August. ''She was well-known to us,'' he said. ''She was offensive and abusive.''

Usually Had Money

Although the sergeant said she roamed the campus in unkempt clothes, usually wearing a green felt Tyrolean-style hat, he said that, when arrested there, she usually had money. Once, he noted, the police found more than $800 in her possession.

In March 1983, she was arrested by the Seattle Police Department for trespassing and was also accused of trying to seize the arresting officer's gun. She was convicted and released on probation, court records showed.

After being arrested by the campus police in November 1984 on charges of stealing food at the Student Union cafeteria, Miss Lang was committed to the Northwest Hospital in Seattle for a psychiatric examination. Court records indicated that she was discharged after three days.

Another Examination

Last August, Miss Lang was accused of possessing stolen property by the King County Police Department in Washington, and once more a judge ordered her examined for mental stability.

According to court records, she was hospitalized for two weeks at the Western State Hospital near Tacoma before being discharged. The criminal charges against her were then dropped.

The New York City police said it was unclear when Miss Lang arrived in Orlando. An employee, who declined to identify himself, at the E-Z Money Pawn Shop, in Orlando, where Miss Lang bought the .38-caliber gun, said she complied with Florida laws by showing proof of Florida residency.

''She didn't look like a punk rocker,'' he said. ''She looked normal to me.''

I put together a blog post on Deak and some of the Ground Zero Mosque stuff. Looks like you covered a lot of it already, but hopefully I can add something new.

Lang was absolutely programmed, imho. She was seen by no less than two CIA-linked hypnotists. One who specialized in inducing multiple personality disorder (programming people). I think if you read these two links, you'll have no doubt.

For the next month, she was put under the care of Dr. Frederick Melges, a psychiatrist associated with the Stanford Research Institute. One of Dr. Melges' main areas of research: drug-aided hypnosis. A few years after Lang was put in Melges' care, the New York Times exposed the Stanford Research Institute as a center for CIA research into "brain-washing" and "mind-control" experiments in which unwitting subjects were dosed with hallucinogenic drugs and subjected to hypnosis.

The Stanford Research Institute received CIA funding, and Dr. Melges published work about using drugs and hypnosis to create "disassociative states," i.e., induced schizophrenia. One of Melges' partners on these experiments was a doctor named Leo E. Hollister, who first dosed Ken Kesey with LSD as part of an Army experiment in 1960. He later admitted to author John Marks that he conducted drug research for the CIA. Marks' 1979 book, "The Search for the Manchurian Candidate," contains numerous such revelations about other government researchers.


In other words, the doctor who cared for Lang in Santa Clara was a senior figure at one of the CIA's top institutional grantees. He worked side-by-side with a self-identified CIA collaborator, and conducted research into the kind of drug-induced behavior modification that the agency is known to have funded.
