Dr. Louis Jolyon West (1924 -1999) was a lifelong researcher of dissociation, amnesia, coercive persuasion, hypnosis and hallucinogenic drugs. His parents were Russian Jewish immigrants.
Google and YouTube are thoroughly scrubbed of much of the controversial background on this character, but we do know this: His primary professional positions were director of the Neurophyschiatric Institute and chairman of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) from 1969 to 1989.
Between 1974 and 1989, Dr. West received from the federal government at least $5,110,099 in grants channeled through the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), a major funding conduit for CIA programs. Millions more poured into the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute headed by Dr. West, including more than $14 million in federal funds in one fiscal year before he stepped down.
…Dr. West devoted four decades to study, writing and experimentation on dissociation, hypnosis, Communist mind control, hallucinogens, sensory deprivation and methods of social influence. He concluded that the methods used by destructive cults result in the creation of new identities and dissociative states. The same methods — when applied to experimental subjects under BLUEBIRD, ARTICHOKE and MKULTRA — also resulted in the creation of amnesia, new identities and dissociated states.
…When Jack Ruby started claiming from his jail cell that a cabal was responsible for JFK’s murder, Dr. West showed up in April 1964 to examine Oswald’s assassin and concluded that Ruby was paranoid and mentally ill.
…Dr. West then examined Sirhan Sirhan, the alleged assassin of Robert F. Kennedy, and proclaimed him to be yet another “lone nut.” Over the years, he was repeatedly a hired gun for whatever position the powers that be (TPTB) wanted promoted.
…Dr. West is also known to have directed a CIA-funded LSD research program in the 1960s at the University of Oklahoma. While chairman of the department of Psychiatry at UO, he became a subcontractor for MKULTRA subproject 43 with a $20,800 grant awarded by the CIA. The proposal submitted by Dr. West was titled “Psychophysiological Studies of Hypnosis and Suggestability,” with an accompanying document titled “Studies of Dissociative States.”
He participated in a mysterious house of unspecified functions in Haight Ashbury at the height of the hippie scene. He was a consultant of some undetermined type in the Charles Manson Helter Skelter murders. There are those that theorize that Manson and Dr. West met.
After the burning of the SLA headquarters, Dr. West and fellow CIA-funded psychiatrists Martin Orne and Robert Jay Lifton provided psychological pre-trial examinations of Patty Hearst.
Many lives were ruined by this SOB. Many people now living were affected directly or indirectly by him. Additionally, he belonged to a group of people like him who wreaked havoc across USA with poison, drugs, psychosurgery, sensory damage, and more. What little we know about those people and the programs they worked in like MKULTRA are but tiny insights into a world of mind-control that is still very actively ongoing today. The poison is everywhere now (except in their food and medicine). The mind-control is ubiquitous and no famous person anywhere in the West is not compromised by it. Jolyon West and his ilk were and are researching weapons to be used against entire populations as well as individuals within those populations. Not all weapons kill or are designed to kill. To maim, control, derange, or sideline their ‘enemy’ (people who love freedom) is very often better than killing them. It is not hard to see this if you stop and think about it. Look around you. We have many reasons to believe West and his ilk have not only infested the Intelligence Community in USA but may even control it. ABN
