Hi Ken. Thanks for the tip on Eisler. I'll be sure to check him out. Adorno wrote heaps on music but I find him very hard to understand. His turgid prose style and his bad Hegelian hangover make parts of his work near impenetrable. I find some of his writings on music to be thinly veiled snobbery, hiding behind all that jargon which he never attempts to define. I recall your fine research on mind control in CovertAction from many years ago. I was briefly in touch with a women several years ago who was a victim/survivor of Ewen Cameron. She was doing her PHd in education but was having a very tough time. I gave her some of your work. Here in Canada, the Ewen Cameron "experiments" at Mcgill have become public knowledge through the bourgeous media. Several victims have won lawsuits and received some compensation for having their minds destroyed. What do you think of the work of Walter Bowart and the other researchers? How do you react to being called a "conspiracy theorist"? What is your take on the CHomsky/Cockburn line on "conspiricism"? Peter Dale Scott is still the finest political researcher in the country today. "People do not have the right to develop their own minds." --Dr. Jose Salgado, congressional record, 1974.
