ASSASSINATION:

In 1975, a US Navy psychologist, Lt. Com. Thomas Narut, revealed that his naval work included establishing how to induce servicemen who may not be naturally inclined to kill, to do so under certain conditions. He referred to these men using the words "hitmen" and "assassin".

Narut added that convicted murderers as well had been released from military prisons to become assassins. The training of the carefully-selected recruits ranged from dehumanization of the enemy, to acclimating them emotionally through special films showing people being killed and injured in violent ways.

The disclosure by Narut was pure happenstance. We can only speculate about what programs are taking place or being planned today in that five-sided building in Virginia.

The CIA: Corporation for Instruction in Assassination

"Death squads have been created and used by the CIA around the world ó particularly the Third World ó since the late 1940s, a fact ignored by the elite-owned media."

Ralph McGehee

former CIA analyst

CIABASE; The Crisis of Democracy

also author of Deadly Deceits


From Derailing Democracy: the America the Media Don't Want You to See

by David McGowan:

"No assassination instruction should ever be written or recorded... The simplest local tools are often the most efficient means of assassination... anything hard, heavy and handy will suffice... The most efficient accident...is a fall of 75 feet or more onto a hard surface... Falls before trains and subway cars are usually effective, but require exact timing... assassinations can seldom be employed with a clear conscience. Persons who are morally squeamish should not attempt it."

"A Study of Assassination"

CIA training manual

circa 1954


"It is possible to neutralize carefully selected and planned targets, such as court judges, mesta judges, police and state security officials, CDS chiefs, etc. For psychological purposes it is necessary to take extreme precautions... The mission to replace the individual should be followed by extensive explanation within the population affected of the reason why it was necessary for the good of the people."
