Hubbard was vehemently opposed in particular to the ubiquitous Dr. Ewen Cameron, who at different times has been--incredibly enough--the president of the
American Psychiatric Association, the Canadian Psychiatric Association, and the World Psychiatric Association. In light of that, and given Ewen Cameron's truly
odious, cruel, horrible, and unpardonable activities, any reasonable person would be more than a little suspicious of the motives and agenda of psychiatry in
general, as Hubbard most certainly was. Far too often psychiatry is used as a tool of social behavioral control and modification, used to force subjects' minds
to conform to certain concepts, beliefs, structures and mores imposed from without; strictures which again nearly always reinforce the wishes and aims of
society's prevailing rulers and of the status quo.
Montauk Project author Peter Moon was a Scientology member and in fact occasionally worked directly with Hubbard. Moon seems certain that Hubbard in
fact was pretty much on the opposite team, certainly in terms of the known objectives of Phoenix/Montauk, regarding "mind control". Moon believes Hubbard
to have been on the whole dedicated to the personal spiritual emancipation of human beings from programming of virtually any kind, and my admittedly skimpy
knowledge of Scientology/Dianetics would tend to back that up. I think the movement suffered from a personality cult syndrome, and that Hubbard may in fact
have had a bit of a messiah complex running, but I do find some quite worthwhile elements in the Dianetics material.
Hubbard was of course a participant in the so called "Babalon Working", some mystical ceremony enacted along with fellow Aleister Crowley adherents Jack
(JPL/Cal-Tech/Father of modern rocketry) Parsons and Marjorie Wilson Cameron. This ceremony has been said to have certain esoteric correspondences
with the Philadelphia Experiment, and may have (helped) open some dimensional channel enabling negative ET's easier access to our dimension/reality--a
new freeway was put in.
Perhaps to that extent that Hubbard was some kind of influence on the more mystical aspects of Montauk/Phoenix operation, but I don't believe he would
have supported the specific goals of the project at all. (Phoenix Undead

Interestingly, other information about the connection of certain Scientology members to some of the secret government's "unusual" experimental research
activities comes from premiere mind control researcher and author Alex Constantine, who has written a wealth of excellent books and articles on the general
topic of government administered and operated mind control projects, including those based on electromagnetic/radio frequency transmissions.
I quote below a section called "Psychic Spying at the Stanford Research Institute Or CIA Mind Control?" from Constantine's Virtual Government.
"Concrete evidence that electronic mind control was the true object of study at Stanford Research Institute (SRI) was exposed by the Washington Post in
1977. When the Navy awarded a contract to the Institute, "the scientific assistant to the Secretary of the Navy, Dr. Sam Koslov, received a routine briefing on
various research projects, including SRI's. As the briefer flashed his chart onto the screen and began to speak, Koslov stormily interrupted, 'What the hell is
that about?' Among the glowing words on the projected chart, the section describing SRI's work was labeled, 'ELF and Mind Control.'"
"'ELF' stands for 'extremely long frequency' electromagnetic waves, from the very slow brain frequencies up to about 100 cycles per second...."
But the 'Mind Control' label really upset Koslov. He ordered the SRI investigations for the Navy stopped, and canceled another $35,000 in Navy funds slated
for more remote viewing work. Contrary to Koslov's attempt to kill the research, the Navy quietly continued to fork out $100,000 for a two-year project directed
by a bionics specialist. The "remote viewing" team at SRI was really engaged in projecting words and images directly to the cranium. It was not a humanitarian
pastime: the project was military and test subjects are subjected to a lifetime of EM torture plied with the same thorough disregard for human rights as the
radiation tests conducted at the height of the Cold War. To be sure, the treatment subjects have received at the hands of their own government would be
considered atrocities if practiced in wartime.
Mind control was also used in domestic covert operations designed to further the CIA's heady ambitions, and during the Vietnam War period SRI was a hive of
covert political subterfuge. The Symbionese Liberation Army, like the People's Temple, was a creation of the CIA. The SLA had at its core a clique of black
ex-convicts from Vacaville Prison. Donald DeFreeze, otherwise known as "Cinque", led the SLA. He was formerly an informant for the LAPD's Criminal
Conspiracy Section and the director of Vacaville's Black Cultural Association (BCA), a covert mind control unit with funding from the CIA channeled through
SRI. The Menlo Park behavior modification specialists experimented with psychoactive drugs administered to members of the BCA. Black prisoners were
programmed to murder selected black leaders once on the outside. The CIA/SRI zombie killer hit list included Oakland school superintendent Dr. Marcus
Foster, and Panthers Huey Newton and Bobby Seale, among others. DeFreeze stated that at Vacaville in 1971-72, he was the subject of a CIA mind control
experiment. He described his incarceration on the prison's third floor, where he was corralled by CIA agents who drugged him and said he would become the
leader of a radical movement and kidnap a wealthy person. After his escape from Vacaville (an exit door was left unlocked for him), that's exactly what he did.
"EM mind control machines were championed at SRI by Dr. Karl Pribram, director of the Neuropsychology Research Laboratory: "I certainly could educate a
child by putting an electrode in the lateral hypothalamus and then selecting the situations at which I stimulate it. In this was I can grossly change his
behavior." Psychology Today touted Pribram as "The Magellan of Brain Science." He obtained his B.S. and M.D. degrees at the University of Chicago, and at
SRI studied how the brain processes and stores sensory imagery. He is credited with discovering that mental imaging bears a close resemblance to hologram
projection (the basis for transmitting images to the brains of test subjects under the misnomer 'remote viewing')."
"The SRI/SAIC psi experiments were supervised at Langley by John McMahon, second in command under William Casey, succeeding Bobby Ray Inman, the
SAIC director. McMahon has, according to Philip Agee, the CIA whistle-blowing exile, an affinity for "technological exotics for CIA covert actions." He was
recruited by the Agency after his graduation from Holy Cross College. He is a former director of the Technical Services Division, deputy director for
Operations, and in 1982 McMahon was appointed deputy director of Central Intelligence. He left the Agency six years later to take the position of president of
the Lockheed Missiles and Space Systems Group. In 1994 he moved on the Draper Laboratories. He is a director of the Defense Enterprise Fund and an
adviser to congressional committees."
"Many of the SRI "empaths" were mustered from L. Ron Hubbard's Church of Scientology, Harold Puthoff, the Institute's senior researcher, is a leading
Scientologist. Two "remote viewers" from SRI have also held rank in the Church: Ingo Swann, a Class VII Operating Thetan, a founder of the Scientology
Center in Los Angeles, and the late Pat Price. Puthoff and Targ's lab assistant was a Scientologist married to a minister of the church. When Swann joined
SRI, he stated openly that fourteen "Clears" participated in the experiments, 'more than I would suspect.'"
At the time he denied CIA involvement, but now acknowledges, "it was rather common knowledge all along who the sponsor was, although in documents the
identity of the Agency was concealed behind the sobriquet of 'an east-coast scientist.' The Agency's interest was quite extensive.
"A number of agents of the CIA came themselves ultimately to SRI to act as subjects in 'remote viewing' experiments, as did some members of Congress."
