"Lately I feel as if I am in the middle of a choreographed traffic dance
where vehicles manipulated by some unseen hand
constantly threaten me" _ Revelations of Secret Surveillance

The interference that Gunter and his father encounter on their trip to Los Angeles
and the interference that Dorothy and Gwen experience while driving are based
on "gang stalking" techniques. (sometimes called "cause-stalking" or "mobbing")
That the problem is widespread is documented in publications such as
David Lawson's Cause Stalking.

Because of the military precision and sophisticated surveillance involved in
gang stalking, a connection with Department of Defense war games
and/or DARPA research should be explored. For instance, certain military
research and Operations Plans -- such as Donald Rumsfeld's Pentagon Plan 5030 --
suggest research and attack strategies that could potentially result in disruptive
field experiments that "target" civilians in the areas of traffic and driving
disruption in war game simulations; theft of supplies; destruction of
equipment; the use of robots/robotic devices to create disturbances;
the mapping of human response to invasive cognitive research; and
contingently the effect of stress on cognition.

Gang stalking operations may also be related to military counterinsurgency
systems and/or military war game exercises in training for infiltration of
Third World countries. Note that the probably influential 1962 RAND
Symposium on Counterinsurgency displays scant concern for the rights
of people to protest their government.

In this country, victims might be selected for reasons that may include a wanton
State or National government failure to understand that protest is protected
in this country; covert DARPA human experimentation projects that are
disguised as "field trials"; eugenic categorization of certain people as
"undesirable"; personal enmity; male jealousy of successful women; and
attacks on freedom of expression in the arts. For instance, in the lives
of artists, gang stalking could be used to interfere with freedom of
expression by using life interference to make it difficult for artists,
writers, and musicians to work.

Any interference in people's lives, can dramatically impact their quality of life and the
pursuit of happiness that the founders of our country deemed important when they
wrote the Declaration of Independence. Thus, even the possibility that the
Department of Defense or Homeland Security are interfering with the lives
of *any* civilians under the guise of wargames should be explored.

"...No words adequately describe the terrible slow understanding
of the extent of what has been done to us.
- Ask for Sanctuary
One of the most disturbing historical texts encountered while researching the
background for Revelations of Secret Surveillance was Max Nordau's
Degeneration that uses eugenic strategies to attack artists and keep
women subservient.(University of Nebraska Press, 1993; original German
edition: 1892) Nordau was a Jew born in Hungary, who in later years
returned to his Jewish roots and became an influential advocate for Zionism.
Tragically, despite this refocusing of his work, Degeneration had
become, according the University of Nebraska Press, "enormously influential".

On page 326, Nordau, speaking of art that he considers "ugly or loathsome", states
"Ought we not in this case to condemn the work and if possible to suppress it?
How can its right to exist be justified?"

After comparing artists to drunks and criminals, who should forcefully put under
Guardianship, he writes: "It never occurs to us to permit the criminal by organic
disposition to 'expand' his individually in crime, and just as little can it be expected
of us to permit the degenerate artist to expand his individuality in immoral
works of art." (p. 326)

Among the artists Nordau considers "degenerate" are the impressionist painters, (p. 27) Zola,
(pp. 489-506) Tolstoi (pp. 144-171) and Ibsen. (pp. 338-415) After calling Ibsen a "poet of
great verve and power", he then spends over 50 pages attempting to prove that Ibsen's works
are degenerate, finally emphasizing that Ibsen is immoral because of his strong women
characters: "Under Ibsen's code of morals the vast majority of wives would have everything
to lose. The severe discipline of matrimony is their bulwark..." (p. 415)

In addition to works which empower women or might influence them, Nordau also rants against
new forms. "The art and poetry of to-morrow, in all essential points, will be the art and
poetry of to-day and yesterday, and the spasmodic seeking for new forms is nothing more
than hysterical vanity, the freaks of strolling players and charlatanism." (p. 544)

Nordau's method is that of the hell and brimstone preacher who himself sees the seductive charm
of pleasure and therefore violently condemns it. For instance, on pages 127-128, there is a
progression from the beauty of Verlaine's poetry to an attack on Verlaine in which Nordau
calls Verlaine a "repulsive degenerate" and "an emotional dreamer of feeble intellect" and
speaks of his "incoherent speech, meaningless expressions, and motley images." Thus in
560 pages in which the contemplation of art is turned into a venomous diatribe against
artists, Max Nordau, who was very influential at the time of the writing of this book,
sets the stage for the "Culture Wars" repression of artists and their work, proposing a
"Society for Ethical Culture" to brand immoral works. (p. 558)

Speaking of artists whom he considers "degenerate", in the concluding pages, Nordau writes:
"Mystics, but especially ego-maniacs and filthy pseudo-realists, are enemies to society
of the direst kind. Society must unconditionally defend itself against them. Whoever
believes with me that society is the natural organic form of humanity, in which alone it
can exist, prosper and continue to develop itself to higher destinies; whoever looks upon
civilization as a good, having value and deserving to be defended, must mercilessly crush
under his thumb the anti-social vermin." (p 557)

Canto Six of Revelations of Secret Surveillance is an elegiac memorial for
the many artists who have died in suspicious circumstances in our time and earlier.

"The enmity of defeated nations covertly expressed,
infiltrating our country in circles of hatred and prejudice...
'1000 Nazi scientists brought to this country after World War II;
1000 people covertly employed by British Intelligence in this country during World War II;
the only 1000 days that President Kennedy was in office.
It is as if our fates are manipulated by terrorists
who have usurped the classics.

'An Angry Man - There Is My Story:
the bitter rancor of Achilles,
prince of the house of Peleus,
which brought a thousand troubles upon the Achaean host.'

The opening passage to The Iliad."

In the writing Revelations of Secret Surveillance, one of the theories postulated
to explain a covert system of persecution was the potential for former enemies - such as Nazi
scientists from defeated Germany - for covertly taking revenge on people or nations
responsible for or associated with their defeat. The story in Revelations of Secret
Surveillance is fiction. However, the research that informs it is cogent. For Canto
Seven, it began with the discovery of Linda Hunt's Secret, Agenda, The United
States Government, Nazi Scientists, and Project Paperclip, 1945-1990.
(St. Martin's Press, 1991)

I had worked as a Technical Librarian for NASA contractors and had listened to the scuttlebutt
about the coverup of NASA management's disregard for human life and the deaths of
astronauts Vigil "Gus" Grissom, Edward White, and Roger Chaffee in a fire during a
spacecraft test on January 27, 1967. Before the Challenger explosion and not widely known,
on March 19, 1981 technicians John Gerald Bjornstad and Forrest Cole died in a Space Shuttle
launch pad accident.

But I had not known that after World War II that hundreds of Nazi bacteriological and chemical
warfare criminals were employed by US Army and industry laboratories, that the German rocket
scientists who were put in charge of our space program were former Nazis who had used and
murdered slave workers; or that agents in US Army intelligence and the Central Intelligence
Agency had made an alliance with and were working with former Nazi Wehrmacht Chief
Reinhard Gehlen.

In Canto Seven, Archie's performance, "Images of Exploding Spaceships" is partially based on
the bringing of Nazi criminals to this country by US Military Intelligence and the Central Intelligence
Agency.

Revelations of Secret Surveillance looks at the potential use of technologies, such as remote
control, in suspicious "accidental" deaths of artists and musicians, posing questions about who
had access to covert technologies who also believed in extreme censorship. Was there a
connection between the deaths of athletes and heroes and the deaths of artists? The
methodologies were sometimes similar, plane crashes, for instance, such as the plane crash
that killed the Big Bopper, Buddy Holly, and Richie Valens or the plane crash that killed
World War II hero, actor, and writer Audie Murphy, who died on Memorial Day weekend.

Because I had been a serious skier, I was concerned about a possible connection between
the triumph of the legendary US Army 10th Mountain Division in defeating the German
skiers in the mountains of Italy and the accidents to so many of our champion skiers in the
years after the War. Because I went to school with figure skating champion Laurence Owen,
I was concerned about her death along with the entire 1961 US skating team in an
airplane crash near where the Allied forces defeated the Nazis in the Battle of Bulge.

"The technologies for cybercontrol of our bodies exist.
To a certain extent someone else could control us,
interfere with our thoughts, cause pain in our bodies,
make us fall or bump into things, cause accidents,
ruin our work by interfering with the motion of our hands.
With these technologies, a cruel government could silently ensnare us
in a virtual gulag.

Athletes subjected by gamblers to covert interference with their bodies.
Artists hurt because of what they create.
Our lives at the mercy of heartless puppeteers"

- Concerto for Narrative Data

The interference in his life that Archie reenacts in this performance represents
the potential for "invisible" technologies -- such as high-power ultrasound and pulsed
periodic stimuli, remote control, and mind-body control -- to be used to interfere in
the lives and work of civilians. For instance, advanced "acoustic weapons" do not
operate in the audible frequency range and therefore are not heard. They have the
capability of degrading and/or moving objects and of detrimentally impacting the
human body.

The following true incidents in my life metaphorically illustrate the potential misuse
of remotely guided systems to injure artists for what they create.

In 2005, on Thanksgiving morning, I used this lexia (written previously in
The Roar of Destiny) in a primary place on my website:

"Words, coming together like a man and a woman --
he in a black tuxedo;
she in a diaphanous black dress flecked with silver,
swaying with the motion of her legs,
separating,
moving in fluid circles back and forth across the ice,
apparently effortlessly
-- the years of practice and innumerable spills
unseen."

After, I posted these words, I went for a Thanksgiving hike on a paved trail.
I have a mobility disability due to being run down in 1994, and I generally hike
with crutches. To the best of my recollection of what happened, it seemed to me
that my pace speeded, as if my shoes were walking faster than my legs, and then
my crutches (or possibly my shoes) threw me into the air. I went up into the air
and fell hard, landing on my head. There was no one around to help me, although
usually that trail is busy on holidays. I got up and made it back down the hill.
My head was ok, but my leg had twisted somewhat, and I was in a lot of pain --
making a much anticipated Thanksgiving dinner difficult and causing increased
pain during the holiday season.

About a year later, in late 2006, I was hiking on a pretty trail along a stream. It
was so nice that I said something out loud to the effect of "this is really nice".
The seemingly co-active response was dramatic. My leg buckled underneath me,
and I fell to the ground. It seemed to me that there was a clear relationship
between the fall and my words. (although I did not at that time know of this
relevant research: Tom Simonite, "The Mind-Controlled Wheelchair",
New Scientist, September 7, 2007 -- developed by Ambient, the
wheelchair moves when you think of or speak particular words.)

My narrative is not meant to inhibit safe research projects that could make life better for
people with disabilities, nor is it likely that the primary researchers on such projects
would be involved in unethical field trials. But it is important -- particularly because
of the presence of DARPA in so many mind-body, mind-equipment control
research projects (as detailed in Canto Eight References)-- that technologies that
could help people with disabilities are not used as "non-lethal weapons" or unethically
tested on writers, critics of military research, and other targeted individuals.

The metaphor is not the exact relevance of the cited research, rather it underscores
the need to look at the function creep from mind-body, mind-equipment research.
In this case, the fall seemed to come -- in response to my words -- from an unnatural
movement of my leg and not from my crutches. However, my leg contains
several rods and many bolts and screws, as well as a stent that was inserted
to repair an artery severed in the 1994 accident.

I was in a lot of pain, and I began to cry. There was no one to help me, so I
stood up on my crutches and hobbled back to my car.

As a result of this fall, I was in more pain for several months during the holiday
season than usual, with more limited mobility than usual.

The point is not whether or not these particular accidents were attacks on a
writer who criticizes the lack of disclosure in mind-body control research but
rather -- as Archie demonstrates in his performance in Canto Seven -- that
such attacks are possible.

A tribute to the brilliant work of Latino/a poets from Puerto Rico to New York
City to Chicago to Texas to San Diego; a tribute to the musicians who have
died before their time --- from Janis Joplin to new musician Joe Catalano --
a tribute to performance artists who have created art in difficult times; and a
tribute to the work of all artists who are also Veterans, the form of Archie's
performance in Canto Seven, is based on my OK Research and
OK Genetic Engineering projects (1979-85) that combined information from
R&D literature with words and images. It was also shaped by my Lucy series
of word/image/body performances (1981-1983 at La Mamelle, Target Video,
and other venues) about a clerical worker hunted by the management of
Applied Missile Systems; and by Booze, a performance I created (but was
not able to perform as intended due to injury) in which slide images were
projected on my body.

Canto Seven was also inspired by José Antonio Villarreal, the brilliant Chicano
writer with whom I worked in the late sixties at Ball Brothers Research Corporation
(BBRC) in Boulder, Colorado where, before he became a professor of literature,
he was Technical Publications Supervisor, and I was a technical information
specialist.

  Read Canto Seven

"...The media coverage had not discussed the soul-stealing implications of the research,
its potential for controlling our men and women in the armed forces,
for creating a battlefield of soldiers,
whose bodies could be controlled by officers in remote locations
or the terrible consequences of turning the animals with whom we share our planet
into robots at the mercy of heartless puppeteers.

'Brain interference on children,
who might not be able to understand the difference between their own thoughts
and the commands of strangers,' Gunter said."

The tracking of civilians -- such as the pre-World War II files at Cold Spring Harbor
and computerized eugenic tracking such as the IBM technology that the Nazis used
to systematically locate the Jews of Europe -- are a part of a methodology, that now
manifests itself in surveillance systems set in motion by the so-called "Patriot Act".
The potential use of sophisticated artificial intelligence programs and neuro-surveillance
technologies in conjunction with mega-databases is of serious concern.

At the close of Canto Eight, Gunter and Gwen examine the possibility that they
themselves may be under surveillance. Because of the depth of what is known about
their plans and ideas by a neighbor who seems to be tracking them and because it is
suggested by a friend in Silicon Valley, they look at research on "brain scanning"
and are surprised at how advanced it is. All across the country, neuroscience
laboratories are silently developing neuro-surveillance technologies.

"'I began to remember things I have seen on the science news," Gunter said.
"'UCLA brain scans that are looking at brain waves
in relation to people's political beliefs.
The import does not always register -- I mean I did not fully comprehend
what they are doing, although I should have...'"
The narrative exposes how advanced brain control technologies are and how
important it is to the future of our society to legislate their use. Because it is also
necessary to take into consideration issues of freedom of inquiry in the sciences,
one approach would be to enact legislation requiring informed consent, ways of
detection, ways of protection and legal prosecution and criminal penalties for
those who, without clear, informed consent, inflict these technologies on people
and the animals with whom they share their lives.

The question arises: If a person does not object to these technologies on moral
or religious grounds and his or her mental or physical health could be improved
by them, should he or she have access to brain control technologies? This is an
issue that is difficult to answer without extensive and informed debate, but the
answer might be yes if there were protections on the abuse of neuro-technologies.
It is in the interest of ethical members of the scientific community to ensure such
protections.

Without extensive education and legal protections, certain brain surveillance
and control technologies should be outlawed because they are potentially lethal.
For instance, someone could be driven to suicide or detrimental actions, and,
of course, access to the brain is essentially access to the body and its functions --
allowing control of one human by another, with the potential of slavery. To say
that brain control technologies are "non-lethal weapons" is as morally bankrupt
as saying that slavery is not lethal.

Although there may be instances where neural implants could help people with
disabilities, to this author, an artist with a disability, it appears that people with disabilities
are, in some cases, being used as an excuse to develop very invasive research and that
neither the public nor the disability community are being adequately informed of the
dangers of the technologies being developed, of alternative approaches, or of the
potential military uses of these technologies.

The potential -- clearly demonstrated by the research cited in these notes -- that
someone could eavesdrop on our inner thoughts or control our bodies without our
consent is abhorrent. It is very important that protective legislation be enacted.

Yet there is hope that if the public is adequately informed and protections are in place,
in the frontiers of neuroscience research there may indeed be benefits for the disability
community and for many others.

If neuro-technologies are being abused, it is not necessarily the inventors of the technologies
who are actually doing this. However, many of the researchers in this field have not adequately
communicated the import of their work. It is not necessarily a question of closing doors on
research that may benefit some segments of the population. But, it is vitally important that
researchers in fields that work with the brain inform the public of the potential for misuse
of these technologies.

For instance, Michael Persinger's research into inducing sexual arousal (Elizabeth Royte op.cit.)
in tandem with wireless manipulation of facial expressions (that could trigger emotional
responses by mimicking parental or sibling expressions) could be used to influence relationship
choices. For instance, the robotic control of animals that can done with a laptop computer
(developed on rats by Sanjiv Talwar, State University of New York) could be used
by unscrupulous people to control animals and even our own pets without our knowledge
or consent. The use of pleasure center stimulation to drive behavior in this research
could also be used to adversely effect human ethics.

Technologies that facilitate brain control of arm movements, (key researchers in this
area include John Donoghue and Andrew Schwartz) could be used to harass people
by using wireless brain wave interference to make them drop things or to interfere
with their work, even to impede freedom of expression by interfering with the work of artists.

Brain scanning technologies could be used to interfere with the work of activists.
For instance, with further development, the work of Joshua Freedman and
Marco Iacoboni at the University of California at Los Angeles -- that scanned
people's brains to find out the difference in how they perceive political candidates --
could be used to predict who would oppose wars in order to derail their careers.
The dangers to our democracy, to our provacy, and to our right to employment
from brain scanning technologies are very great, yet critical media coverage has been meager.

As law enforcement tools, because what we think does not necessarily reflect our actions
and because they can be hacked, brain scanning technologies are not reliable. By
hacked I mean that the technologies potentially allow insertion and altering of
thoughts as well as reading of thoughts. Furthermore, our mental processes
can be a way of working through hostility and anger that usually doesn't reflect
the end result of our actions. This is a reason why our mental processes are meant
to be and should remain private. Although it is possible that such technologies could
help clear innocent people, citizens should ask themselves these questions: Have
I ever thought to myself "I want to kill so and so"? Did I really mean this?
Do I want law enforcement officers to have access to such thoughts?

There are indications that some of the CIA research on mind control technologies
was initially funded because the Russians were developing them. If this is so, the
question is: why weren't the American people given information about the symptoms
and why was the research aimed at doing it to people rather than on protecting people?

The fact that unscrupulous researchers in these fields have not adequately
informed the public of the dangers is a strong indication not only that the
source of their funding is all too often the very agencies that could abuse
brain invasive technologies.

Canto Eight also delves more deeply into the potential impact on scientific
ethics of the bringing to this country of so many Nazi criminal scientists.

  Concluding Note to Canto Eight

  As documented in Revelations of Secret Surveillance, we now face a covert arsenal of
  "nonlethal weapons". Because of the existence of these weapons -- such as brain interference
  technologies -- the potential for virtual imprisonment and torture of civilians is of serious
  concern.

  Revelations of Secret Surveillance calls attention to the potential for
  technology-mediated repression in situations where governments encourage
  intelligence agency stalking of civilian populations. It also postulates a covert system
  of social control -- exploring its possible origins, as well as who might be attacked by
  such a system.

  From the role of intelligence agencies in harassing artists and writers -- while
  at the same time they gave Nazi scientist war criminals the keys to our laboratories
  -- to the insidious application of applied eugenics in Department of Defense science
  and technology, the notes provide a framework to explore the resulting climate that
  was created, bringing questions of who is spied on, why, and how into the present by
  also presenting documentation of the existence and deployment of satellite
  surveillance and brain wave scanning technologies.

  Many of the technologies referenced in these notes have positive uses. They are
  documented here because the ramifications of their uses have not adequately been
  discussed. Public dialogue, legislated limitation of use, and an enforceable
  requirement of informed consent (for instance for mind invasive technologies)
  would do much to validate neuroscience research that is not invasive and may
  be of benefit. It is also important to remember that if technologies are being
  abused, it is not necessarily the inventors of the technologies who are
  actually doing this.

  Some researchers take Department of Defense funding which has one stated
  purpose and do not acknowledge the other purposes it might have. Some
  Research and Development media routinely publish press releases from laboratories
  and do not ask hard questions about the impact of the research or interview other
  sources. It is important to consider the "function creep" from neuroscience research -- the
  potential that it could be used for other than the stated applications.

  In Archie's words in Concerto for Narrative Data:

  The technologies for cybercontrol of our bodies exist.
  To a certain extent someone else could control us,
  interfere with our thoughts, cause pain in our bodies,
  make us fall or bump into things, cause accidents,
  ruin our work by interfering with the motion of our hands.
  With these technologies, a cruel government could silently ensnare us
  in a virtual gulag.

  Athletes subjected by gamblers to covert interference with their bodies.
  Artists hurt because of what they create.
  Our lives at the mercy of heartless puppeteers.

  Before it is too late, Revelations of Secret Surveillance asks for full
  disclosure of brain invasive technologies and for legal limitations on their use to
  interfere with our lives.

"...it was as if I had known all along
what was really happening
or as if I should have known all along
what was happening."

The central theme of Canto Nine is the interference in the lives of artists and the
surveillance of artists that is addressed in the notes and references for Canto Two.

Artists and writers, who are likely to in some way depict their surroundings,
may be at risk for interference in their lives, not only because of culture war issues
but also because of what they see and how they depict it. Thus Franz Marc and August Macke,
the artists from the (at the time) controversial artist's group, The Blue Rider - who were
killed in World War I -- keynote Canto Nine.

The death of 66 British poets in World War I was a terrible loss to British culture. Their
deaths also signify the larger scale loss of so many lives in the World Wars and the need to
look more closely at the origins of this War. Thus Rupert Brooke; Isaac Rosenberg;
Arthur Graeme West, felled by a sniper; Wilfrid Owen, killed by machine gun fire
a week before the war ended; Canadian poet John McRae; American poet Joyce Kilmer,
killed in the Marne, are ever on my mind, as I write these words.

The subtext of Canto Nine suggests an ancient system of control, (as difficult to
comprehend as it is to decipher) for which there is evidence as early as Renaissance Italy,
although it probably began much earlier. The system Gunter and Gwen are tracking
subtly controls individuals in such a way as to impact not only their own destinies,
but also the destinies of nations. Studying the system's violent and manipulative pursuit
of grudge-fueled covert domination -- -- that utilizes infiltration and the setting of
enemy against enemy to create a theater of war ---- Gwen looks also at the course of
World War II.(where evidence of the role of such a system in what happened is in the
details of events that surround major battles and in discernable chains of staged events
such as the diversion of key personnel.) Unspoken is the possibility that this system
was deployed in a monstrous plan that not only set World War II in motion but
also covertly directed the course of the War.

At the core of this plan: the elimination of the Jews of Europe. Germany, the
country of the Reformation that broke from Rome, was then itself destroyed.

But in Revelations of Secret Surveillance, Gwen does not go into detail, and
the truth of these speculations is not the most important part of this particular
narrative. Whether true or metaphor, they suggest a terrible potential for covert
systems of control of and persecution of individuals, throughout history -
from the lives of artists, to the events that turned idealistic,
worker-centered philosophies into total repression in Russia and China.

• Frank Kitson, Low Intensity Operations: Subversion, Insurgency, Peacekeeping.
  (Harrisburg PA: Stackpole Books, 1971; Natraj Publishers, 1992
  Commentary: 700 years after the Templars were disbanded, imprisoned, and tortured,
  the use of systems of psychological torture against civilian populations is suggested by
  research from Defense think tanks such as RAND Corporation, a developer of wargames and
  large scale artificial intelligence systems. In the RAND Research Study Rebellion and
  Authority, Nathan Leites and Charles Wolf, Jr., present a system that advocates rational
  choice (hurting people so that they will conform) as opposed to constructive choice.
  (making life better for people) Given that RAND was influential in formulating
  Vietnam era policy and that turn-of-the-century Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was
  Chairman of RAND Corporation from 1981-1986, of particular interest is Chapter 6:
  "Inflicting Damage", pp 90-131. Throughout the book, there are indications that the
  authors' systems are also applicable to domestic situations. And on pages 137 and 157,
  they suggest making the punishment for rebellion fit the crime and using intelligence services
  to implement this.

  Control of populations is also the subtext of Frank Kitson, Low Intensity Operations:
  Subversion, Insurgency, Peacekeeping. The book is chilling in its lack of understanding
  of the moral and positive roles of protest, strikes, and the voices of a country's citizen's in
  a free country. However, it is instructive in understanding this British Army officer's mindset that
  had a pervasive influence on British attempts at covert control of whole populations
  -- as evidenced in the British treatment of Ireland -- as well as on covert actions by US
  intelligence agencies in South America and against American citizens. ("...it is in men's minds
  that wars of subversion have to be fought and decided." Kitson p. 31)

  no idea that their work was unknowingly supported by the CIA. Furthermore, the CIA
  control of culture documented in this book, while it may have had some benefits in
  the abstract-expressionist era, may also have put in place a mechanism for CIA
  interference in the arts -- in later eras when art and art forms,
  such as performance art, new media, and e-literature became more challenging both
  to the political establishment and to critics whose aesthetics were formed in era
  of abstract expressionism.

- Revelations of Secret Surveillance

In Canto Ten, Sid expresses concern both about "fingerprinted" deaths of artists
and about what he sees as an induced iconography -- putting things in the paths of
artists and writers which they might then include in their works.

The following example of potentially induced iconography was slightly fictionalized
in the narrative: In the early 1990's, when I was writing The Yellow Bowl,
I bought a coffee cup in a thrift shop. As is not unusual with artists, I was using
this cup -- which was imprinted with the insignia of the NASA Johnson Space Center
in Houston -- when I was doing some writing in my home. Thus, I incorporated it as a
part of a scene that began the work.

  Commentary

  Teller played a leading role in developing both the H-bomb and SDI.
  (Strategic Defense Initiative) His opposition to the Free Speech Movement is of interest,
  not because he wasn't entitled to his own free speech, but because of the power that he --
  and the Berkeley and Livermore labs he was associated with -- had the potential to wield.

  Jerry Rubin, who threw a pie at Teller as an anti-nuclear protest, was run down in a crosswalk
  in Los Angeles in 1994, a few months after I was run down in a crosswalk.

  In Cambridge, MA, the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory, a primary developer of missile guidance
  systems, was privatized and became the Charles Stark Draper Laboratory after faculty and student
  anti-war protests.

  In Southern California, the potential presence of defense employees in right wing
  enclaves is of interest. See Lisa McGirr, Suburban Warriors, the Origins of the
  New American Right, Princeton and Oxford: Princeton University Press, 2001 for
  a discussion of the political climate in Orange County in the 1960's and conservative
  reaction to the Free Speech Movement and the Watts riots.

You can see that the people in it have removed their US military uniforms
and are stepping on them,
as if they are masked invaders who have cloaked themselves
in the uniform of this country.

The entire painting is a metaphor
for how the artist imagines a shadow junta
harassing and controlling the citizens of this country.
Not one entity, but many who operate together
in such a way that it is difficult to place blame on any one of them.
But when they victimize people,
they are all pulling the trigger in some way or other."

  Commentary

  Botticelli became a follower of Savonarola and gave up painting.
  (According to other accounts, he also burned some his works on Savonarola's
  "Bonfire of Vanities".) Of particular interest in Vasari's account are
  the tricks that Botticelli practiced -- deceiving a painter who had copied
  his work by the illusion of altering his work, setting up a rock that would wreck
  a noisy neighbor's home if he made any noise, denouncing a friend as a heretic as
  "a joke".

  Botticelli himself, a painter of genius before he encountered Savonarola,
  did not fare so well, losing his source of income and ending up on crutches.

Rather than using the harmful weapons of ancient epics, the men and women in this story
use their powers of creativity and information gathering to confront a common enemy --
exposing its systems with art, research, and discussion.

1. Gwen: Prelude
"...Sir Edward Elgar, the British composer who wrote an intriguing orchestral work,
known as the Enigma Variations."
Sid paused, as if unsure how to express a hypertextual connection
between the work of a distinguished composer,
The Enigma, a cipher machine at the core of World War II intelligence,
and a chain of deaths that included Sir Arthur Sullivan, Jack London and John F. Kennedy.

...The complexity inherent in deciphering and explaining so many themes
echoed in our quest to unravel an ancient system
and in this disordered writing."

Gwen's Prelude is a record of her early morning half awake, half dreaming thoughts. Contingently,
the notes for Prelude are as diffuse as the Prelude itself. Like the unraveling
of evidence of intelligence agency infiltration and subterfuge, their meaning is open
to various interpretations and challenges. Yet regardless of the interpretation
of the personal accidents and interference that inform it, the Prelude points out
the potential for the use of military-developed technologies to be covertly used as
weapons against civilians and their families.

"For the first time since I had heard this story,
I remembered my Pilgrim ancestors,
fleeing religious persecution on the Mayflower and the Speedwell,
forced to return to England for repairs while winter deepened in the New World."

Everything that happened to Gwen's mother in this narrative happened to me, although,
it is slightly fictionalized. When I was going home from Germany, via England,
the plane I was on had two engines fail in the middle of the Atlantic. The plane
turned around and made it back to England, and then I had to get back on the same
plane the following day.

My car got stuck on the railroad tracks on a ski trip. While sketching in
a cow field, I was almost shot by hunters. I began to fall much more than
I had in the past after I made the ski team my freshman year at Middlebury.
The scar above my left ankle made by an abscess from a ski boot is no longer there due
to the massive skin grafts needed after I was run down in 1994. It was oval but
-- like the logo for the Enigma machines -- pointed on each end.

Like Gwen's Mother, after I auditioned for and was accepted in a college string quartet,
I began to play my violin flat, but I could not hear that I was playing flat. This had not happened
before; it was difficult to continue and the pleasure of music-making was lost.
Although there is no evidence that this particular research was related to what happened with my
hearing, it was not particularly surprising to discover that during and after World War II, pitch and
its perception were researched by The Psycho-Acoustic Laboratory at Harvard.

I remembered the times the earaches I had were so bad that I lay on the floor of my dorm
screaming.

For the writing of this account of Gwen's uneasy early morning nightmare
on the day of Sid's exhibition, I looked at the events that happened around
the time I began to experience what in retrospect seems to be a much higher
than normal series of accidents. Although I know of no proof that there is a connection,
the serious problems began around 1958, the year of the founding both of NASA, with
many of its former-Nazi led facilities in the deep South, and of the John Birch Society,
with strongholds in the sci-tech and industrial communities in the Northeast, Midwest,
and California.

Because my Mother, Barbara Powers, was a newspaper editor when I was a young woman,
the John Birch Society (JBS) and its attempts to influence news coverage were a subject
of household discussion. At about the same time, for several summers I worked for the
Medical Library of the New England Mutual Life Insurance Company. Although it might
have no meaning whatsoever, I was surprised -- particularly in the light of my mother's
criticism of the JBS -- to discover (in the research for Prelude) that the Assistant
Medical Director of New England Mutual Life was one of the original members of the JBS
governing board, the Birch Council.

It was only one thread in the chain of serendipitous research that informed the narrative
in Prelude. There were others.

"As if our minds were running on a parallel track,
Gunter was now talking about the World War II codebreaking
headquartered at Bletchley Park.
'The storied Enigma as a way for a cabal of eugencists from opposing sides
to communicate -- people who could have included intelligence agents
from many countries --
eugenicists in Britain, Germany and America
and or religious fanatics from ancient orders,' he was saying.
'Their allegiance not necessarily completely to their own country.


I do not mean that that is what most who worked heroically
to break the Nazi codes were doing,
but rather that Ultra could have been piggybacked on.
It would explain many things that happened in the course of the war.'"
- The Wedding Celebration of Gunter and Gwen

I was channel surfing when I came across a documentary -- unfortunately I do not
remember its name -- about the role of British Intelligence (British
Security Coordination, the BSC) in this country during World War II. Perhaps it was a Yankee
ancestral memory of British troops in the Boston area when the American Revolution began, or
the spirit of my Scottish ancestor the woman warrior Maid Lillard, who was central in the
defeat of the English at the Battle of Ancrum Muir, but I was concerned that British spies
had been given such clandestine power in this country.

I was also interested in the fact that British intelligence staged accidents to kill suspected
German spies in this country. Why were suspected spies murdered and not questioned?

Given the relatively high percentage of accidents to artists and musicians,
I wondered what technologies might have been used to stage such accidents.
Covertly installed remote controlled (RC) guidance systems such as Tesla's
radio controlled boat; the US Navy's WWII; TDR-1 Assault Drone; the US Air Force
Global Hawk Unmanned Aerial Vehicle; MIT-developed WWII guidance systems; such as
those developed by Nazi scientists for remote controlled demolition tank units?

"'This theory of the incredible trajectory of the so-called magic bullet
that killed President Kennedy it reminds me of the remote contolled 'Goliaths'
that the Nazis used during World II,' Gunter said."

- The Wedding Celebration of Gunter and Gwen

While researching the possible use of such RC guidance systems to stage accidents,
I remembered how when I was a young girl, my bicycle kept crashing into an oak tree
at the bottom of a hill near my home. The scars on my elbow lingered for years. The
crash was always at the same place, and I was always injured in the same place, my left
elbow. It is difficult to believe that one of my neighbors used RC guidance systems to
hurt a young girl, but even at the time I could not understand why it kept happening.
I knew I was losing control of my bike, but it did not seem to be my fault.

The memory of these recurrent accidents coincided with the research I had begun
on the disturbing record of BSC's subversive infiltration of American institutions.
Just for the hell of it, I searched "elbow" on the Internet and came up with a place
in Bermuda. In retrospect, I should have focused on Elbow Beach in Paget,
where BSC head William Stephenson died. Or remembered that it was Bermuda
where the British selected women with shapely ankles to intercept German coded
messages, claiming that women with bad legs did not make good "trappers".
But on the map my eye was drawn about 10 miles North West from Elbow Beach
to The Royal Naval Dockyard, from where the British Army set sail to burn
Washington in 1814.

The connection is of course only hypertextual, but I had not known that up until 1995,
the British kept a military presence right off our coast. Why I wondered -- given the
British Navy's history of impressment of American sailors -- had no one connected the
British Navy in Bermuda with "Bermuda Triangle" disappearances?

Like the Prelude itself, the research took on a nightmarish dream quality, intertwining
-- in the possibility of covert revenge on civilians by defeated nations -- the technologies of
"Hessians" and the manipulative psychological warfare of the British Army.

And I wondered what happened when my father was sent to England to recuperate
after he was wounded on the German front.

The Prelude that began with Gwen's mother's Enigma-label shaped scar above her ankle
(based on my similar scar) continues in these notes with concern about staged accidents
and with childhood memories of repetitive accidents. As if the accumulated scars were
a metaphorical map to the events in this work, while working on these notes, I looked
down at the deep scars on my leg (that makes it look like the head of an alligator)
and for the first time wondered why, given that the car ran into my leg while I was
sideways in a crosswalk, the direct hit was in the front of my leg.

  Commentary

  Founded by Belmont, Massachusetts-based candy manufacturer Robert Welch,
  the John Birch Society was an initial force in the displacement of moderate
  Republicans by the far right. While J. Edgar Hoover used the US Government to attack
  liberals, the JBS created an organization that not only attacked liberals but also
  attacked moderate Republicans, including President Eisenhower whom they called a
  "Communist dupe. Following a series of Los Angeles Times articles by Gene Blake,
  which exposed the beliefs and methods of the JBS, LA Times Publisher Otis Chandler
  editorialized against its methods, concluding that "Subversion, whether it is of the left
  or the right, is still subversion."

  However, it should be emphasized here and throughout this work, that it is likely that most
  members of the John Birch society joined to exercise their legal political rights in this free country.

  Commentary

  According to Howard's son's account, (it does not appear that he knew that British
  Intelligence was aware the plane was going to shot down) Leslie Howard was not originally
  scheduled to be on this flight. The airline received a call saying that Howard
  and Alfred Chenhalls, whose company was a financial advisor to film and theatre people,
  had priority. It does not appear that Howard and Chenhalls initiated the call.
  Three passengers were taken off - a boy, (the son of a Major in the foreign office)
  his nanny, and Father A.S. Holmes, Vice-President of the R.C. English College.

  In addition to Leslie Howard, who was Jewish Hungarian and had been making films
  promoting the British cause, and Jewish advocate Wilfrid Israel, who knowledge of details
  of the Holocaust, the other people who were killed included K. Stonehouse, Washington
  correspondent of Reuters; Mrs C.A. Paton, wife of the Cuban Consul in Liverpool;
  (also a late addition) T.M. Shervington, Shell Manager in Lisbon; (sponsored by the Ministry
  of Fuel and Power) and mining engineer Ivan Sharp, who had been negotiating wolfram exports
  to the UK for the manufacture of armaments. Wilfrid Israel was traveling for the
  Jewish Refugee Mission. He had saved many families from the death camps and was working to
  organize the movement to Palestine of the 1,500 Jewish refugees in transit camps
  in Spain and Portugal.

  "...When the Ultra secret was disclosed long after WW2 ended, the public learned
  that the Allies had broken the Nazi codes for most of the war.
  Subsequently it was also revealed that the British had known in advance of
  possible German plans to intercept the airliner. To avoid compromising
  the Ultra secret, the British did not pass on their knowledge to the airline.."

  of State Adolf Berle in which he expresses concern that Stephenson was creating "a full

  J. Edgar Hoover to Berle, in addition to the office in New York City,
  Stephenson had agents in Baltimore, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Houston.
  The likelihood that Stephenson's deputy, Colonel Charles H. ("Dick") Ellis was a Nazi spy
  and possibly also a Soviet spy is discussed on pp. 14-15 and p. 160. Also of concern is the
  "Olds" project. According to Troy, in the 50's. Stephenson (now in Bermuda) and Ellis were
  spying on and interfering with Black Power activists moving between
  Caribbean and Washington. p. 15.
  Commentary

  The possibility that Donovan -- an Irish American World War I hero, -- was a
  "replacement" when he was made head of the OSS is suggested by Uncle Roger in
  Judy Malloy, The Wedding celebration of Gunter and Gwen, 2006-2007 --
  http://www.well.com/user/jmalloy/celebration/begin_celebration.html

  "When he commanded the New York 69th Regiment of 'The Fighting Irish',
  Donovan was noted for ensuring the readiness of his men,
  but as OSS head it appears that he did not exact the same level of training.
  Perhaps there was not the time or the facilities,
  perhaps, his outlook had changed, and his allegiance was now
  with the forces of Empire, capitalism, and ancient crusader.
  Or perhaps the man in this key intelligence role was not Donovan
  but had assumed his name and identity. It is a valid consideration.

  I do know that like Kennedy, Donovan criticized British war readiness.
  Nevertheless, the British promoted him for head of the OSS.

  In my experience, British officials do not recommend the Irish
  for such positions. Particularly those whose family gave sanctuary
  to Irish Independence leaders."

  "...The attack took the allies by surprise, and made rapid progress towards

  why ULTRA had apparently not given adequate warning. This is partly explained by the
  very tight Security in the German forces preparing for the attack, with units operating
  under wireless silence; but it also seems clear that the allied staffs
  (perhaps due to a degree of complacency) had not interpreted correctly
  the ample SIGINT available to them, which should have warned them..."

  Commentary

  Although Berlitz does not cite this as a possible cause,
  the finding of so many ships without their crews in the vicinity of Bermuda
  from where the British sailed to burn Washington and the White House in 1814
  and where they held a military presence until 1957 and an espionage station
  during WWII, suggests the possibility of impressment by the British. Bermuda was

  The book details how IBM technology made it possible for the Germans to
  find all the Jewish people in Germany. It documents the census operations
  for which IBM provided the technology and convincingly sets forth evidence
  that Thomas Watson
  not only continued to help the Germans during WWII,
  but also was aware of the uses of the technology which he provided.

  Commentary

  Of Irish and Italian parentage, Sir Arthur Sullivan died at age 58
  on November 22, 1900, while composing Irish music for the Opera
  The Emerald Isle. Jack London died of apparent kidney failure on
  November 22, 1916. John F. Kennedy was killed on November 22, 1963.
  Irish Protestant-born British writer C. S. Lewis, who had also been critical
  of England, died on the same day that Kennedy died, November 22, 1963,
  and thus his death did not receive much attention.

  mechanisms of intelligence agency oppression. Contingently, in Prelude, Gwen explores
  undercurrents of infiltration and treachery. It is an ongoing exploration that does not conclude
  in Prelude. Another layer -- the possibility of an underground Catholic infiltration of British
  intelligence, that began after Henry VIII's actions against the Church -- is explored in
  The Wedding Celebration of Gunter and Gwen.

• Engelbert Humperdinck, music and Adelheid Wette, libretto, "Abends will ich schlafen gehn" ("When at night I go to sleep") Hansel und Gretel, 1893.

Many of the intellectuals under attack in this country by the FBI and Congress
during the Cold War had not been or were no longer Communists. When it became
clear that Stalin was instituting a repressive government, many artists and writers
in this country, who had looked to Communism as a way to create a more equal
society, repudiated Communism.

The repudiation of Communism by artists and writers, who had formerly supported its
theoretical goals, was potentially damaging to the USSR Nevertheless -- as documented
by Natalie Robins, in Alien Ink: The FBI's War on Freedom
of Expression; (op. cit) by Herbert Mitgang in
Dangerous Dossiers, Exposing the Secret War Against America's Greatest
Authors, (op. cit) and by Alex Constantine in The Covert War
Against Rock (op. cit.) -- the FBI directed massive surveillance
attacks against American artists.

The parallels with KGB repression of intellectuals are disturbing.

Contingently, in conservative organizations -- the National Manufacturers Association (NAM)
role in the founding leadership in the Birch Society is of particular interest --
a distinction was not made between the right of workers to organize, the role
of Communists in supporting this, and how this support of the rights of workers
to good wages, benefits and working conditions differs from the actual undermining
of this country. In some cases this distinction may have been purposefully
not made in order to serve the self interests of management interests in the leadership
of such organizations.

It was not a coincidence that Screen Writers Guild founding members and past
Presidents Lester Cole and John Howard Lawson and Screen Actors Guild
board member Samuel Ornitz were among the writers whom Congress jailed,
as was Herbert Biberman, who made the film The Salt of the Earth
about the working conditions for New Mexico miners and was a founder
of the Screen Directors Guild.

Because attacks on Communism were manifested in attacks on union activists
and liberals, conservative politicians may also have been willing to overlook the
potential of a real danger from KGB agents in this country. The destruction
of liberals and moderates was politically more expedient. Thus, instead of
concentrating on the search for real spies and infiltrators, Congress and
the FBI were investigating artists, writers, and activists.

As Dorothy notes in Duet:

"The common goal of Fascists and Communist dictatorships
-- the eradication of free discourse and moderate and liberal approaches --
too often ignored in the histories of what happened."

FBI campaigns against writers and civil rights activists and the current FBI
squandering of the tax dollars of American citizens on the surveillance of people
who speak for peace, the environment, and the humane treatment of animals,
should be looked at in terms of intelligence agency records in uncovering
real foreign agents and terrorists.

For instance:

In reading the accounts of FBI traitor Robert Hanssen and CIA traitor
Aldrich Ames, both of whom sold out this country to the Russian government,
it is difficult to understand why their agencies did not figure out that there was
a problem before so many networks were blown.

Furthermore, that Robert Hanssen, the FBI agent who spied for the KGB,
was a supervisor in the FBI program that spied on and disrupted
American activists suggests that whether intentionally or not,
FBI spying on activists was a diversionary tactic that actually served
the real traitors.

There were and are dedicated FBI agents, but in some cases, they themselves have been
thwarted. In The FBI Nobody Knows, Fred J. Cook reports that after FBI Special
Agent Skip Gibbons was instrumental in catching a Russian spy, Gibbons was persecuted
by FBI management, receiving five disciplinary transfers.

Cook also reports that as a result of FBI infiltration, the FBI became a dominant
force in the Communist party, and in some cases FBI provocateurs seemed more loyal to the
Communist party than the FBI.

In FBI Secrets, An Agent's Expose, (op. cit. pp. 67-80)
former FBI agent M. Wesley Swearingen documents how the FBI in Los Angeles
ignored the Weatherman Underground Organization.

The FBI's use of al Qaeda trainer Ali Mohamed as an informant (reported
by Peter Dale Scott in an article listed below) brings up questions regarding
approaches to anti-terrorism law enforcement.

Questions are: Does FBI management's dependence on a system of informants, infiltrators and
perpetrators put society at risk? Is the emphasis on informants -- writer Kay Boyle's 355
page FBI file, for instance, was started on false information -- not only a poor substitute
for good detective work but also an excuse to track writers and activists instead
of terrorists?

In Duet, a parallel is made between the jailing of Hollywood writers by Congress,
Communist jailing of writers and intellectuals, and what appears to be a covert
system of surveillance, harassment, and detention that is used against artists and
activists in this country. In a fictional setting, Revelations of Secret
Surveillance suggests there may now be a covert system to deprive artists
and activists of the liberty and the pursuit of happiness that is guaranteed by
the US Constitution, or to place them in dangerous situations.

The narrative suggests that the genesis of this covert system on a widespread basis
may have been a criminal intent to circumvent public opinion and American
democratic processes that would be unlikely to support KGB style repression
of American citizens.

He ordered that the prisoners be whipped inside the concentration camp,

- Concerto for Narrative Data

And in the telling of the story I was more than once reminded that on the other side of
the railroad tracks, behind the house where I grew up in Winchester, Massachusetts,
was the same river that, polluted by WR Grace in neighboring Woburn, figures in
A Civil Action. (a book by Jonathan Harr, Vintage, 1966, and a movie written
and produced by Steven Zaillian about the legal case regarding the lethal impact
of pollution of Woburn's water.)

At the close of World War II, Otto Ambros -- former Chief of the Chemical Warfare
Committee of the German Ministry of Armaments and War Production and a
manager at Auschwitz, who was convicted of slavery and mass murder --
was hired as a consultant by WR Grace President, Peter Grace. Grace was
not only the head of WR Grace but also the president of the American Association
of the Sovereign Military Order of the Knights of Malta, an order with extensive

  Commentary

  Of particular interest in this book by Yale art historian George Hersey,
  is the description of British eugenicist Francis Galton's program for breeding
  by "superior" families; (pp 110-111) Cesare Lombroso's denial of the equality
  of women in his prescription for sexual selection; (pp 112-123) Max Nordau's
  attacks specifically on artists and his suggestion that artists and other such
  personalities should be confined to camps where they would be under constant supervision
  and would not be allowed to reproduce; (p. 144) and the attacks of Nordau and proto-Nazi
  Paul Schultze-Naumburg on art and artists.

  Appearing in 1996 , at the height of the culture wars, Evolution of Allure
  reveals historical antecedents for a series of systems not only for eugenics breeding but also for the
  persecution of artists. Because the author's own interpretations of art are (in this study) so tied
  to sexual selection, I found the book very depressing.

  Commercial Observation Satellites At the Leading Edge of Global
  Transparency, RAND Monographs/Reports MR1229, 2001
  http://www.rand.org/pubs/monograph_reports/MR1229/
  Commentary:

  This document gives an overview of global access to observation satellites
  and addresses the issues of "global transparency" that this has created, including
  potentially beneficial information, such as civilian access to information about nuclear
  buildup. The framing of "open skies" issues in the context of the rights of photographers
  and first amendment rights is important because advocates of privacy rights
  should be aware that these issues are also important.

  However, this report gives scant coverage to privacy rights, nor does it adequately address
  how private citizens could be protected from stalking and harassment by users of satellite
  data who spy on their lives and movements.

  The assumption of many of the contributors to this report that the use
  of observation satellites is, for better or worse, here to stay should be
  re-examined in terms of the importance to human beings of privacy and of
  the kind of world we want to live in the future.

  Commentary

  This account of FBI traitor Hanssen's life is of particular interest because it details
  his involvement with Opus Dei, and his two-faced pretense of morality. Hanssen wrote
  pornography, went to strip joints, and let his friend, Jack Hoschouer (in the Armed
  Forces in Germany) watch him and his wife making love on closed circuit
  video, unbeknownst to his wife.

  Arts Wire Current, September 11, 2001.
  http://www.nyfa.org/current_archive/2001/cur091101.html#news1
  "...Helms' systematic attacks on individual artists focused national attention
  not on the myriad creative approaches of this country's artists and the compelling
  need for their support -- but rather on the narrow-minded prejudices of the attackers.
  The Arts Endowment was under continual threat of elimination. The National
  arts budget was drastically slashed. Content restrictions were imposed
  on government grants."

  Commentary

  Reporting on events that had recently happened, this issue of Arts Wire Current
  was published on the day of the 911 attacks on New York City. The departure of three men
  who were instrumental in decimating funding for the arts had seemed something to celebrate
  when I finished the issue on September 10, but on the morning when it appeared, the
  devastating destruction of the World Trade Center and the deaths of thousands of people,
  including artist Michael Richards, were all that any of us in this country could focus on.

  The Rule of R&D

  "'All I remember is the feeling
  of being plunged into a frustrating psychodrama;
  of being drugged when I was not taking drugs.
  The nightmare accident. And now the revulsion
  that it is likely that techniques developed to be used against spies
  were used against a woman artist.'"

  In Canto Ten, scibe -- who had worked on the Berkeley campus and been a union activist,
  and an innovative new media artist, and whose work looked at the impact of R&D --
  expresses concern about what could have happened in Berkeley when the Free Speech
  Movement challenged the defense-funded laboratories that ring the campus.

  Her concerns are fictive speculation.

  However, the unethical behavior of University of California
  Aromic Energy Commission (AEC) researchers is well documented by reporter Eileen Welsome in
  The Plutonium Files: America's Secret Medical Experiments in the Cold War. For about
  six decades, the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico was managed by the University
  of California. The UC system was one of the places responsible for human beings --
  patients who went to physicians for treatment -- being injected with
  plutonium without their informed consent by researchers including Robert Stone,
  Joseph Hamilton, and Earl Miller. (pp. 88-96) Institutions involved included the
  University of California's Radiation Laboratory and the medical school at the
  University of California at San Francisco. In charge of medical experiments was
  Stafford Warren, (later at UCLA) who was the Medical Director of the Los
  Alamos-based Manhattan Project.

  "The circumstances of many of our lives have been criminally altered,
  .And as if we are civilians in war time
  whose art or writing is about the terrible circumstances of war,
  many contemporary artists under attack
  have made art about what essentially are acts of war."
  In Revelations of Secret Surveillance, scibe expresses concern about
  the potential for government agents to use remote control technologies to stage accidents
  in order to put people in the hospital where they could be used as human guinea pigs
  by Defense researchers -- the possibility that critics of the military industrial complex
  may have been targeted.

  Although I know of no available evidence that these accidents were actually contrived and
  Welsome does not address this issue, the cases that she reports on in The Plutonium Files
  raise questions about this possibility. For instance, at about the time when the experiment was
  ordered, an accident conveniently sent African American construction worker Ebb Cade into the
  care of Joseph Howland, an Army doctor stationed at Oak Ridge, who injected Cade with
  Plutonium without his knowledge. (pp. 82-87)

  Among the other cases Welsome documents that are of interest in this respect are the role of
  State prisons and State prison hospitals in Nazi-type research; (pp. 362-382) the methods
  Willard Libby used to acquire 9,000 samples of human bone and 600 fetuses and human legs from
  Massachusetts, Houston and other cities; (Chapter 32: "Body-Snatching Patriots" pp. 299-312)
  and the accident that caused the death of former paratrooper and Sun Valley ski instructor
  Cecil Kelley, whose body was used to begin the human tissue program at Los Alamos.

  Welsome reports that: "For many years, anyone who died in the town of Los Alamos was
  autopsied, including visitors, whom pathologist Clarence Lushbaugh called 'extras'."

  RAF Group Captain Winterbotham discusses foreknowledge of the attack on Coventry
  on pps 60-61. According to his account, he advised Churchill's private secretary
  of an Ultra intercept that Coventry would be attacked in four or five hours.
  The decision was made -- conjecturally for reasons of protecting Ultra and
  because there was not time for an orderly evacuation -- to only alert emergency services.

  Commentary

  Winterbotham was a key figure in the Enigma process. However, this reader is not convinced
  of the accuracy of his account or of exactly where he is coming from in his book. In
  Bodyguard of Lies, Anthony Cave Brown (Anthony Cave Brown, "Coventry" in Anthony
  Cave Brown, Bodyguard of Lies, Guilford, CT, The Lyons Press, 1975, pp. 32-44)
  also puts the burden of the decision about Coventry on Churchill's shoulders. However,
  Brown's account is based in the main on information from Winterbotham. That Bletchley Park
  knew in advance of the attack and that Churchill made the decision not to warn the people
  of Coventry based on the value of Ultra is also asserted in A Man Called Intrepid.
  Perhaps because of questions about the advice he was given in the decision process, in
  Revelations of Secret Surveillance, Sid states that British Intelligence
  knew in advance but does not put the blame on Churchill.

  Commentary

  The work that scibe created and Jeff describes is based on work
  that I created at Xerox PARC in 1993. Influenced by the ubiquitous
  computing research (the creation of an environment where many
  invisible-to-the-user computers are available) being undertaken in PARC's
  Computer Science Laboratory, (CSL) Brown House Kitchen took place
  in a future communal eating space where interrelated devices integral to its
  functioning recorded events in various ways. In Rashoman fashion, these devices
  were capable of relating the details of things that occurred in a previous November
  in separate but related ways. Players who entered this narrative could unfold the
  story in various ways by examining the things they found there. Some of the devices
  (simulated video, simulated audio) disclosed information that could be seen

• William K. Sherwood was a Stanford cancer researcher who killed himself
  before testifying in front of HUAC. In a statement that HUAC did not allow her
  to read, his wife wrote:
  "...Throughout his lifetime, my husband had but one goal: to ease
  the suffering of mankind. It was this goal that drew his to support the
  Loyalists in the Spanish Civil War, that inspired his youthful identification
  with radical causes. It was this goal that led him, when greater maturity
  had mellowed and deepened his understanding, to abandon politics completely
  and devote himself single-mindedly to science. Is it a crime for a young man
  in his twenties to dream of a bright new world?..."

"We travel a difficult road...
Yet the promise of a lasting Peace accompanies the exposure
of those who for centuries
have so viciously haunted the battlegrounds of war."
The plan of our lives is not always ours to completely comprehend. There are things
that are inexplicable.

There have been times in the writing and researching of Revelations of Secret
Surveillance when I felt that I was on a mission to reverse engineer a system
which others knew about, although they could not or would not speak.

At such moments, I have returned to the memory of Jerzy Witold Rozycki, Piotr Smolenski,
Jan Gralinski, and François Lane, the Polish codebreakers and the French officer
accompanying them, who died when the ship carrying them between France and Algeria went down
on January 9, 1942, the exact day on which I was born.

Jerzy Rozycki, who died that day, had worked with Polish codebreakers Marian Rejewski
and Henryk Zygalski to reconstruct the German military cipher Enigma machine. They were
the first to do so.

When I read about the death of Rozycki, and his colleagues when the Lamoriciere went down
in unexplained circumstances in the Mediterranean, I had already completed the first draft of
Revelations of Secret Surveillance, but I saw that there was much more work to be done.
The "commission", as I had come to think of it, was greater than I imagined; the details of
my own life were in themselves more important than I had known.

It was at this time that the Polish codebreakers' mission metaphorically became also my mission.
At times -- like the wings of good intelligence agent angels -- I have felt their spirits and the spirits
of my aunts and uncles who were intelligence agents and have known that there is a reason to continue.

There are indications in the true narratives of terrible accidents and survival that pervade
my own life that there are forces who, usurping the role of God, play games with our lives.
Nevertheless, I believe that ultimately it is God (and not those who have willfully usurped
God's role) who in quest of peace sets our voices on clear paths of disclosure
and warning.

In Concerto for Narrative Data, Archie, who in the performance that concludes
Revelations of Secret Surveillance identifies and then symbolically discards systems
of covert surveillance and harassment, affirms the importance of such symbolic gestures in inspiring
hope, but he also asks that people actually step forward to stop what is happening:

"It is time to stop the systems of interference,
to put in place an effective and continuing oversight
that looks at intelligence agencies, defense research, and industry
in terms of their impact on our country
and on the world that we share with other nations."

  Although I do not agree with much of her other writing, this article is
  one of the clearest that I have seen on the issue of Gang-stalking,
  and it points out that some members of the right, as well the left, are being subjected
  to "mobbing" harassment -- the practice of groups of people following

  http://www.fas.org/spp/military/docops/usaf/2025/v3c15/v3c15-1.htm
  (Federation of American Scientists website)
  

  Commentary:

  The subtext of the potential for interference in the weather occurs in various places
  in Revelations of Secret Surveillance. That it can be done is suggested
  in the 2005 the Air Force report "Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the
  Weather in 2025". In this revealing report, with little consideration for the citizens of
  our planet, the Air Force treats global weather as a battleground. In their words:
  "...weather-modification is a force multiplier with tremendous power that could be
  exploited across the full spectrum of war-fighting environments. From enhancing friendly
  operations or disrupting those of the enemy via small-scale tailoring of natural weather
  patterns to complete dominance of global communications and counter-space control,
  weather-modification offers the war fighter a wide-range of possible options to defeat
  or coerce an adversary..."

  Because of the potential for environmental damage, if the Department of Defense
  has developed the ability to alter our weather at will, it is very important that the
  public is informed of this. The specter of opposing armies simultaneously attempting
  to control the weather, the environmental distress that weather modification in one area
  could cause in another area, the possibility that unethical agents of government or
  industry could use the weather for personal revenge or to force redevelopment are
  nightmares for the global environment and the people of the world.

  As in for instance cloud seeding in times of drought, there may be instances of serious
  need when weather interference could be considered. In these cases, a *public* commission
  could, in cases of great need only, make these decisions in tandem with in depth
  environmental impact studies. However, it is important that weather modification
  legislation does not open doors for unethical experimentation without extensive environmental
  oversight, in the way that US Senate Bill 517 and US House Bill 2995 would.
  (see Peterson reference below)

  United Nations Treaty No. 17119 prohibits the military and hostile use of environmental
  modification techniques, but it doesn't adequately address other uses. In order to stop
  military and environmentally destructive uses of weather, as well as natural environment
  modification - such as covert alteration of natural plant growth or of water flow --
  tough, enforceable US Government regulation is needed.

  Concluding Note

  The NSA logo's symbolism of an eagle perched on a key is of interest in the context of a narrative
  that addresses intelligence agencies as secret enforcers of medieval morality. In Renaissance art,
  the keys to the kingdom of heaven are a symbol of St Peter the Apostle; St John the Evangelist
  is represented by an eagle.

  Since such iconography would be very inappropriate for a US Government agency that has illegally
  gathered information on civilians, presumably the intended meaning of the NSA logo is not a covert
  appropriation of the works or doctrines of St Peter and St John, nor an indication that intelligence
  agencies have a hidden moral enforcement agenda and they do not serve all of the US public.

  However, given the vast amounts of data intelligence agencies are collecting on the American
  public, how such data was used in Germany, and the extreme secrecy that the administration continues
  to allow intelligence agencies, it is very important to limit the collection of data on the American people.

  And of course, it is the American eagle, trapped in a culture of surveillance, whom Archie
  symbolically frees from the NSA logo. Archie's nonviolent actions and the work of the
  narrative's writers, artists, and curators, in tandem with the need for legislation of
  "nonviolent weapons" advocated in these notes, also symbolize the bringing of peace on earth -
  not with the ancient methods of terror and violence -- but with information, acts of heroism,
  and collaborative democracy.
