Cathy O'Brien (born 1957) is a victim of a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) mind control program and government sanctioned sexual abuse.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

O'Brien made her claims in the books TranceFormation of America (1995) and Access Denied: For Reasons of National Security (2004) which she co-authored with Mark Phillips.[6]

Together with Brice Taylor O'Brien is one of very few people claiming to be mind control abductees who have come forward to present their stories to the public.

Project Monarch

In her book, and a series of lectures based on it, O'Brien alleges that she was abducted by the CIA as a child and forced to participate in a mind control program named Project Monarch (said to be a subsection of historically verified MKULTRA and Project ARTICHOKE).[1][2][3][4][5]

O'Brien claims that, as part of Monarch, she was forced to serve as "a top-level intelligence agent and White House sex slave" with West Virginia Senator Robert C. Byrd working as her handler for the latter part of her time in the program. She states that she remained in the program until 1988, when she was rescued by Phillips whom she claims is a former CIA operative.[6][1][2][3][4][5]

O'Brien allegations include that her daughter Kelly (born 1980), currently a ward of the state of Tennessee, is another victim of Monarch. [6]

Of O'Brien, Gardell writes:

O'Brien claims to have been abused since she was a toddler. Forced to partake in satanic sadomasochistic child pornography movies produced for Gerald Ford, she was eventually sold to the CIA, which was looking for traumatized children for their mind-control program ... U.S. Presidents Ford, [and leaders of this and other countries] all sexually brutalized her. She recounts in graphic detail how the elder George Bush raped her thirteen year old daughter and how she was forced to have oral sex with Illuminati witch Hillary Clinton ... While being sodomized, whipped, bound and raped, O'Brien overheard the globalist elite planning a military coup in the United States and conspiring to usher in the satanic New World Order. (Gardell, 97-98)

On her many websites, O'Brien herself says she was rescued in 1988, suggesting daughter Kelly was no more than eight-years-old when last abused. Phillips stated in a Granada Forum lecture in 1996 that the daughter was in fact institutionalized when she was eight and has been raised in a mental institution.

Although he has since distanced himself from studies in mind control, licensed psychologist Corydon Hammond seems to confirm O'Brien's general experiences in a speech he delivered on June 25, 1992 at at the Fourth Annual Eastern Regional Conference on Abuse and Multiple Personality entitled "Hypnosis in MPD: Ritual Abuse" [7]. His critics now refer to it as "The Greenbaum Speech." Hammond states:

I've treated and been involved with cases who are part of this original mind-control project as well as having their programming on military reservations in many cases. We find a lot of connections with the CIA.

And later in the speech, during the Q&A session, Hammond further states:

My best guess is that the purpose of it is that they want an army of Manchurian Candidates, tens of thousands of mental robots who will do prostitution, do child pornography, smuggle drugs, engage in international arms smuggling, do snuff films, all sorts of very lucrative things and do their bidding and eventually the megalomaniacs at the top believe they'll create a Satanic Order that will rule the world.[8]

These and other assertions and observations made in the speech appear to support O'Brien's contention that governmental mind control exists. Critics of recovered memories such as the False Memory Syndrome Foundation are quick to add that recovered memories are no longer accepted without question by mental health professionals. O'Brien has stated that her knowledge of her abuse was gained at least partially through accessing recovered memories.[6]

Split personality

O'Brien says that she has developed Dissociative Identity Disorder and that she has no memory of some of her activities. She also says that she has a photographic recall of the events that she suffered whilst her alternate personalities were in control. [6]

Criticisms of O'Brien

Within the subculture of conspiracy believers, Cathy O'Brien has her critics. Writing in his book, Cyberculture Counterconspiracy: A Steamshovel Web Reader, author Kenn Thomas states that conspiracy author Martin Cannon considers both O'Brien and Phillips to be "frauds" who are using real details of Project Monarch to "embellish a dog and pony show", presumably for financial gain.[1]
