MILABS: Military Mind Control and Alien Abduction

Helmut and Marion Lammer are German nationals who have co-written and published, together and separately, a number of books on `fringe' subjects mainly in the German language. This infamous 1999 paperback book originally published by Illuminet Press is generally regarded as a highly original and courageous one-off piece of documentary research, which due to rarity now changes hands for high prices.Throughout the 1990s to the present (January 2012) many high-profile alien abductees who have gone on the public record - the late Dr. Karla Turner & her husband Casey, Leah Haley, Melinda Leslie, Jim Sparks, Beth Collings, Kay Wilson, Debbie Jordan-Kauble and others - have claimed that in addition to their `alien-type' experiences they also remember being drugged by injection, kidnapped and taken to various covert but very human-looking `underground' locations where they were aggressively interrogated by military/paramilitary and medical personnel. In some cases, door locks of their houses have been broken by force, which is never a feature of the `normal' abduction phenomenon. These so-called `MILAB' (i.e. `military abduction') incidents are radically different in character to the `usual' experiences with non-human entities. Harassment by unmarked black helicopters circling or hovering over their homes also feature prominently; many close-up and well-defined photos of these aircraft exist and have been published, notably by Bob Luca in Raymond Fowler's classic book `The Andreasson Affair Phase 2' but also in other places.All this speaks of a very human interest by government or quasi-governmental agencies in the experiences of genuine abductees. These incidents are reported almost exclusively from the USA and, the authors point out, almost none of the high-profile researchers into the abduction phenomenon (with notable exceptions like the late Dr. Karla Turner, and Kay Wilson) will acknowledge the problem or deal with it.Following a brief introduction to the subject, the authors take us on a trip through a `documented history of secret mind control and behaviour control experiments': CHATTER, BLUEBIRD, ARTICHOKE, MKULTRA, MKSEARCH and the rest. Much of this history is already known but summarised here very succinctly. The text is helpfully illustrated and heavily referenced with copious notes; the authors know their subject.Discussion then moves on to speculate about the purpose of MILABS, the activities of black helicopters and details of alleged kidnappings. Chapter 8 really gets into conspiratorial territory as it speculates about the move towards a controlled society and evidence for `terrestrial' implants - which, believe it or not, seems to be substantial and backed up by X-rays, documents, patents granted for such devices and a few surgically removed artefacts.The book contains some detailed case studies (including, surprisingly, one from Sweden), transcripts of relevant scientific papers, photos, documents extracted through FOIA, and X-rays of the heads of victims with implants clearly visible. Statements from accredited surgeons and psychiatrists, letters and detailed reports from a number of abductees complete the picture.The authors are to be commended for the thoroughness of their investigation and for amassing such a substantial body of evidence, which adds up to a compelling indictment - but of whom, exactly? It certainly puts a different (and far more serious) spin on the abduction phenomenon: it seems that not only are alien abductions real, but there are agencies here who know it, have more than a passing interest in the subject and are prepared to break the law and invade the privacy of abductees - who then become `double victims' - in order to better understand what is being done. All this activity is covert and hidden from media intrusion, violates normal legal rights and safeguards and is obviously outside the regular processes of democratic government.The question left open at the end of the book is: what is going on?The book is quite short at 160 pages, is in places a bit repetitive and several typos and examples of poor syntax have been left unedited. These minor irritants demote this otherwise extraordinary piece of work from a full five stars. The bibliography however is enormous and the citations plentiful and substantial.One can't help but feel the subject of this book is so alarming, and has such compelling evidence to support it, that it deserves more serious and widespread academic attention.

Good book, very interesting!
