At its peak, volunteers were totally cut off in their own minds, jolting from one fragmented existence to the next. They saw visions: Lilliputian baseball players competing on a tabletop diamond; animals or people or objects that materialized and vanished. \u2026.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><em>Soldiers on BZ could remember only fragments of the experience afterward. As the drug wore off, and the subjects had trouble discerning what was real, many experienced anxiety, aggression, even terror. Ketchum [Dr. James Ketchum, DoD Edgewood Arsenal, MD] built padded cells to prevent injuries, but at times the subjects couldn\u2019t be contained. One escaped, running from imagined murderers. Another, on a drug similar to BZ, saw \u201cbugs, worms, one snake, a monkey and numerous rats,\u201d and thought his skin was covered in blood. \u201cSubject broke a wooden chair and smashed a hole in the wall after tearing down a 4-by-7-ft panel of padding,\u201d his chart noted. Ketchum and three assistants piled on top of the soldier to subdue him. \u201cHe was clearly terrified and convinced we were intending to kill him,\u201d his chart said.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><em>One night, Ketchum rushed into a padded room to reassure a young African-American volunteer wrestling with the ebbing effects of BZ. The soldier, agitated, found the air-conditioner gravely threatening. After calming him down, Ketchum sat beside him. Attempting to see if he could hold a conversation, Ketchum asked, \u201cWhy do they have taxes, income taxes, things like that?\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><em>The soldier thought for a minute. \u201cYou see, that would be difficult for me to answer, because I don\u2019t like rice,\u201d he said.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">BZ is\u00a0<a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.revolvy.com\/page\/3-Quinuclidinyl-benzilate\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>an interesting drug<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, certainly not the only one used by the US government, but one of them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Why give it to Assange?\u00a0 What do they want from him?\u00a0 Is it truth they seek, or more information, or is this whole farce something more like obsessive retaliatory rage at feeling powerless, as the world laughed at US State Department memorandums and became angry at the idiocy and\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ccffff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/collateralmurder.wikileaks.org\/\">hate demonstrated by US soldiers<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a015 years ago.\u00a0 Or maybe something more sinister \u2013 that they need Julian Assange psychologically and physically drawn and quartered because he revealed state corruption and weakness?\u00a0 \u00a0Is it because to the state this is the war, the real war it always fights, a war with the rest of the population for its very survival?\u00a0 \u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ccffff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lewrockwell.com\/2019\/05\/no_author\/unaccountable-media-faced-with-dilemma-in-next-phase-of-deep-state-gate\/\">Or is Ray McGovern on to the real reason<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0the deep state wants to destroy him?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">It is difficult to know if the state is more sociopathic or more psychopathic.\u00a0 What US government employees and\/or contractors are currently doing to Julian Assange, and those who may have used Wikileaks as a journalistic avenue, may indicate it is the latter.\u00a0 Torture, isolation, brutality, and the use of psychotropic drugs during interrogations and hiding this from the defendant\u2019s own lawyers by denying them access \u2014 this is\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ccffff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/archives\/la-xpm-1991-09-07-mn-1571-story.html\">Lubyanka<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0in the 1950s, not London and DC in 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Allow me to get to the point.\u00a0 The latest word I have received from England is as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">\u201c[Julian Assange] is presently under close observation in prison hospital because he has suffered \u2018severe transient psychotic episodes.\u2019 My source(s) indicate these episodes occurred after two sessions of coercive interrogation at the hands of UK and US officials.
